MY LITTLE DELTHA. . AN ELEGY. ' ST " Wrapt in the pall of sorrow's sombre gloom, A mournful blight is .thrown across my heart; My little pet lies sleeping in the tomb- Laid low by cruel death's envenom'd dart, llow transient are our joys 7—alas ! how few, Brief, like a rocket's brilliant display, Which, mounting, sheds its splendor to our view, But all its beauty quickly fades away. That face divine, those beauteous brbs so bright, I yet behold in Fancy's blissful train ; Once more [ hear thee tune with sweet delight "© sing to mo again that heavenly strain." Again I hear thee sing that pretty nir '•0 cradle rnc dear ma upon your knee.: And then I hear'thee lisp thy evening prayer, Ami gaze with rupturo ou thy infant glee. Bat shafl T never see thy face again 7 Yes ! yes ! a whispering spirit caltas my mind, Time's veil will soon be drawn aside and then I shall toholJ thee, love, in glory shrined. As serial forms from worms hurst forth they spread Their-jgoideu wings and take their bappy flight; So thou, nry Delthw, art transform r d-k-act dead, But changed from mortal to anftngol bright, Thy words prophetic like a funeral knell, Bang through liiy.anguish'd ceul ■ a Mournful tone ® • I' •*' v 1 "Stay pa [A dear, yonr Deltha is not well, You must not go and leave poor ma alone." "Tou're weeping ma, I feel upon my cheeks Your falling tears so warm, Oh do not cry, Ilow dark 'tis getting, yet I hear yon speak ; But now I see bright angels in the sky— "See 1 see 1 they're coming nearer than before. They sing ! and smile cm me,and look so bright' Come ma, come papa, kiss your pet once inoro— Once more, dear ma—they call —I couie—good nighl." That lovely form like sculptured inarble lay, | Those features placid as a summer sky ; Her guileless soul had winpil to heaven its way, To dwell forever more with God en high. Near Audson's famous proudly toll fug stream, The casket which contained my jewel lies ; There in thy pensive moments, oft in dream My thoughts will roam when darkness veils the skies. On that loved spot.o'erspread with winter's shroud, I shed my parting tears with heaving breast, I bear Thy chastening rod with spirits bow'd, Forgive me Lord, l'hou knoweet all things lst.

' ' When all the belies, and all the beaux, In spile of frosts would go forth, And squeeze, beneath the buffaloes, Each other's h.mls, Ac. How brightly streamed the Northern Lights, Above the snowy ridges ! How pleasant were the winter nights, Observed from country bridges ! Where "toll" was sought with such address, And laughter loud would ppal torth, While lovers felt, amid the press, Each otiier's hands, Ac. , .it ( l Tis very singular and queer, Of all the inad devioes, Lore's flame should born so bright and clear, On fuel formed of ices , And yet we own its flame, indeed, -Most brilliantly would glf>w forth, When flulned behind a Hyidg stead, i Hid under furs, Ac. I'm sure you mind the village*inn— The supper and the revel, How, in the general dire and din, Love shot his arrrows level, Ami don't forget how Ilarry Kidd, Embraced you ere he went forth, Yhu kissed his lips, you know you did, lie squeezed your hand, Ac. And when the forfeits all were paid, How one old maid resisted. Until the younger ladies cried, A prude they all detested. "Detest !" she cried—tbo ancient Ann— Her modesty to show forth, "I'll never yield to any man My virgin lips," Ac. The wintry winds the hotaoway, Blew chilly In our faces, But underneath our furs we lay, All snugly in our places ! One girl npon the forward seat — The pretty Nelly Satterlee, Declared Jack Frost, had pinched her cheek, And Billy Frost, etc. Another, nndefeeath ber robe, (The buffaloes,'not her dresses.) Fair Patience with attendant Job, Detected in caresses— Sprang up with angry, blushing face, ... Her Innocence to show forth, ' Bat showed her curls all out of place, Her collar gone, Ao. And then the parting at the door ! Its tender mutual blisses 1 Sweet lips from Iheir abundant store, Gave to the poor in kisses ! The parting word—the lotig embrace. As cupid's arrows shot forth. Brought fire to many a boyish face, And raised his hopes, Ac. Dear Susy Brown, save you and I, Of all that load of merriment, No other pair are left to try Love's latest, best experiment: And when the coming snows shall spread, And mutual hopes glow forth— May Hymen bless our nuptial bed, v Increase our joys, Ac " To Speak his Thoughts is Every Freeman's Right. " WHAT HOPE DID.—IT stole 011 its pin ions to the bed of disettse ; Uie sufferer's face became a smile—the emblem of peace aud love. It weut to the house of mourning, and from the lips of sorrow there came sweet and cheerful song. It laid its head upon the arm of the poor, wflich is stretched forth at the command of unholy impulses, and saved him from disgrace and ruin. It swells like a living thing in the bo som of the mother, whose son tarried long after Lis promised coming, and saved her from the desolation and " the care that killeth." It hovered about tlie head of the youth who had become the Isbmael of society, and led him on to works which even his enemies praised. It snatched the maiden from the jaws of death, and went with the old man to heaven. No hope, my good brother? Ilave it; keep it always with you. Wiestlc with it that it may not uepart. It may repay your pains. Life is hard enough at best, but iiope shall lead yon over its mountains, and sustain you amid its billows. Part with all beside but keep hope. AN EXCITING SCENE. A great " experience meeting" was to be held one evening in church, where the speakers were as usual, to be reformed drunkards. An estimable wo man, whom 1 will call Aiice, was induced to attend. When the meeting was some what advanced, a late member of Congress arose, with apparent sadness and hesitation and said ! "Though I had consented, at your ur gent solicitation, to address this assembly to night; vet 1 have felt so great a relue tanec to doing so, that it has been with the utmost difficulty that I could drag myself forward. As to relating my experience, that T do not think I can venture upon,— The past I dare not recall. I could wi-h that the memory of ten years of my life were blotted out." lie paused a moment much affected, and tlicji added in a firmer voice. " Something must be said of my own case, or I shall fail to make the im pression 011 your minds that 1 wish to pro duce. "Tour speaker once stood among the respected members of the Tar. Nay, more than that, he occupied a seat in Congicss for two Congressional periods. And more than that," lie continued, his voice sinking into a tone expressive of deep fueling, " lie once had a tenderly loved wife and two sweet children. But all these honors, all these blessings have departed from him. — lie was unwuithy to retain them ; his con stituents threw him off' because lie h;td de based himself aud disgraced them. And mote than all, she who had loved him de votedly, the mother of his two babes, was forced to abandon liirn, and seek an asylum in her father's house. And why? Could I become so changed in a few short years? What power Was there so to debase me tiiat my fellow beings spurned nye, and even tlio wife of my bosom turned; aw ay, heart stricken from me? Alas, my friends, it MA*, a mad indulgence in intoxicating drinks; but for this, 1 were an honorable and itscfnl representative in the bHs of legislation, and blessed with a home and wife and children. " But I have not told you all. After my wife separated from me, 1 sank rapidly. A state of sohrietf brought too many terri ble thoughts ; 1 drank more deeply, and was rarely, if ever free from the bev ildor ing effiCts of partial intoxication. At last I became so abandoned that my wife urged hy her friends no doubt, filed an applica tion for a divorce, and as cause could be readily shown why it should be granted, a separation was legally declared; and to complete my disgrace, at the congressional canvass 1 was left off the ticket as unfit to represent tho district. " When I heard of this new movement, the great temperance cause, at first I sneffred, then pondered, listened at last and finally threw myself upon the great wave that was rolling onward in hope of being carried by it far out of the reach of danger. I did not hope with a vain hope. It did for me all and more than I could have desired. It set me once more upon my feet, once more made a man of me. A year of so briety, earnest devotion to my profession, and trust in the great Redeemer and the power of the Holy spirit, in whom alone a poor sinner can find strength to fulfil any good resolution, lias restored me much that I had lost; but not all, not the richest earthly treasure that I have proved myself unworthy to retain—not my wife and chil dren, Between myself and these the law has laid its stern impassible interdictions. I have no longer a wife, no longer chil dren, though my heart goes toward these dearly beloved ones with the tendcrest yearnings. Pictures of our early days of wedded love are ever lingering in my iin agirtation. I dream of the sweet fireside circle ; I see ever before me the placid face of my Alice, as ber eyes looked into my own with intelligent confidence ; the music of her voice is ever sounding in my ears." Here the speaker's emotion overcame him ; his utterance became choked, and he stood silent, with bowed head and trembling dense mass of peo ple were crushed into an oppressive si lence, that was broken here and there by half stifled sobs. At this momeut there was a movement in the crowd. A female figute, before whom every one appeared instinctively to give way, was seen passing up the aisle.— This was not observed by the speaker un til she had come nearly in front of the platform on which he stood. Then the movement caught his ear, aad bis eye that instant fell on Alice, who bv the kindness of those near her, was conducted to his >ide. The whole audience, thrilled with the scene, were upon their feet and bend- 1 ins; forward, when the speaker extended his arms, and Alice threw herself njion his*® bosom. An aged minister then came forward and gently separated them. " No, no," said the reformed Congressman, " you can not take her away from me." " Heaven forbid that I should," replied the minister; " but by vo"ur own confession she is not your wife." " No, she is not," returned the speaker mournfully. " But is ready to take her vows again," modestly said Alice, in alow tone, smiling through her tears. Before that large assembly, all standing, and with few dry eves, the marriage cere mony was again performed, that gave the speaker and Alice to each other. As the minister, an aged man with thin white locks, completed the marriage rite, he laid his hands upon the heads of the two he had,joined in holy bonds, and lifting up his streaming eyes said, in a solemn voice, " What God has joined together, let not HUM put asunder." 'Amen' was cried by the whole assembly, as with a single voice. THE DIGNITY OF LABOR. A Boston paper tells the following, which some employers will not fail to ap preciate : We were never more impressed with the dignity of labor than while witnessing, a few days since, a group of" down trodden workming men" engaged in setting up some machinery. There were five of them, or rather four men and a hoy, and at the same time they came under our notice. 5 d() p. M , one was engaged in slowly turn ing over the contents of a box in search of a screw, two wore looking with much in terest for the result of the labors of No. T, the fourth was slowly scratching a piece of iron with a tile, and the boy was scratch ing his head. No. 1 finally found a screw to suit him, but during the search Ins pipe had g .ne out. Laying down tiie screw he began to investigate his pockets for a match. Nos. 2 and 3 Searched theirs in sympathy, while the filer paused to see the result. Eiwtlly No. 2 found a match, ignited it and handed it to No. 1, who, having accomplished a light, smeked for a few minutes to assute himself of the fact, while the hov went to the other room to look at tiie cluck. No. 1 tlieu looked at his watch, and compared time with No. 3. Time <">.4t). No. 1 then put the screw info position to fasten a bar. No. 2 held the bar. No. 3 txjuiiiled at it from the other side of the machine. No. 4 inspected the operation reflectively, as be slowly resumed his fil ing, aud the boy wiped the oil from bis lingers. Time y.45. The entire labor was now suspended, while the boy was sent aero.-s the room for the necessary tool.— •Just then it occurred to No. 2 that a chew of tobacco was necessary to his comfort, aud as his supply was out, he applied to No. 3 for the weed, aud to No. 4 for a knife to cut it with. No. 1 consulted his watch again. 'iimfeo.oO. And labor was resumed, the screw was turned home, No. 1 tried the oar, Nos. 2 and 3 indulged in a playful seutll-, and tlie bwhaUnn, galivantcdr with Pocahon tas, and became the ancestor of the first families in Virginia ?

And who, I ask—and 1 aek the question u/orp seriously and soberly—who, i say, is that man, and what is his name, who fras fought, the most battles, made the most speeches, preached the mot sermons,held the most offices, sung the most songs, written the nio.-t poems, courted tho most women, kiss cd the most girls, and married, toe most widows ? History says, I say, you say, aud , everybody says, Jylin Smith ! " k A "WORD TO MOTHERS. —Each mother is a historian. She writes not the history of empires or of nations on paper but she' w rites her own history on the imperishable mind of her child. That tablet and that hi-tory will remain indelible when time shaff bono more. That history each moth er shall meet again and read with eternal joy or unutterahh grief in the coming ages ofeternitv. This thought should Weigh on the mind of every mother, and her d- epl> circumspect and prayerful and faith ful in her solemn work of training up her children for heaven and immortality. The minds of children are very suscept ible and easily impressed. A word a look a frown may engrave an impression on the mind of a child which no lapse of time can efface or wash out, —You walk along ttie sea shore when the tide is out, and yon form characters or write words or names in the smooth sand which is spread ont so char and beautiful at your feel, according as yonr fpney may dictate ; but the retflrfi ing'iiibi shaflTn a few hours wash out and efface all that yon have written.

POLITENESS IN DINNING. —An old gen tleman had owed a firm for years ; at last, after every body's patience and temper were exhausted, a clerk named Frank, undertook to get the money. I rank called upon the gentleman, and met with a polite reception and the usual answer, with the addition : "You need not trouble yourself, young man, about the matter ; I will make it all right," "Oh, no," refilled Frank, "I could npt think for a moment of compelling you to call at the store for a few dollars. It will not be the slightest inconvenience for me to step in. as I pass yonr place of busi ness six times a day, to and from mv meals, ar.d 1 can call every time I go k v." "Here," said the old fellow to his book keeper, alarmed at the prospect of being dunned six times s day tor the next six months, pay this impertinent rascal, lie can beat ine in politeness, and if he wants a situation 1 will give him two thousand dollars a year." Eternity has no gray hairs. The flowers fade, the heart man grows old and dies, but time writes no wrinkles on eternity, F/ternity ! stupendous thought. That evi r present, unborn, undecaying and undying—the endless chain composing the life of God—the golden thread entwining the destinies of the universe. Earth has its beauties, bnt time shrouds them for the grave; its palaces, they are but bursting bubbles. Not so in the untried bourne. — In the dwelling of the Almighty can come DO footsteps of decay. "Necestity is the mother of invention,' but it has never been accurately ascertain ed who is the father. TERMS. -$5.00 fer. ATTMITM, In Advance. !
