TUNKHANNOCK, WYOMING CO., PA. -WEDNSDAY, FEB. 19, 1868. THE TWO„ PICTURES. KT STELLA, OF LACKAWANNA. Two lovers-(I peeped through the keyholt,— Hope 'twas a commendable peep ;) Sat breathing sweet nothing? by moonlight, When sensible folks were asleep ; They said —but why should I rejieat it 1 'Twns whispered, you know —nothing more, i While the rounl moon laughed in at the window. An t I—through the hole in the door. Two hands were cltsped fondly together, Two laces were radiant wiih joy, And I spied 'niong the frolicsome moonbeams The arch-eyed and mischievous boy ; And the fair cheek .grew crimson with blushes, When bin el they soon should be wed, While the round moon laughed in at the window, And I- through the keyhole instead. • ••••• The year# had whirled swiftly their changes, White moons h id lit many a #ky, But where were the rapturous lovers I pieeped through the keyhole to ?py 7 Were 'hey building their fabulous castles, \\ ith hand clasped in band as before 7 V bin tbe round uie n laughed in at tbe window, And I —through tbo hole iu the door. At last in my roautings I found them, Sitting glum in a summer day's glare, And I wailed in vain to discover One loverly took iu the pair. Ah, me ! and I ?ighed to remember '1 he vi-ion that tuit me before, When the round moon laughed in at the window, And I —tbtuugh the hole iu the door. "Small editions in calf' ranged the parlor, With knots in their carroty bair, Each bent on appalling gymnastics O'er sofa and table and chair ; Atnl 1 said to myself very softly, Return oil sweet romance of yore, When the round moon laughed in at the window, And I—through the hole in the door, I glanced at the trail little figure, Bent low over some unfinished scams, Then sidelong, the while, at the master, And wondered li these were the dreams That bewitched the blest hours with their magic. In the sweet time ere they two were wed, Wheu the round moon laughed iu at the window, And I- through the keyhole instead ! TO ONE IN HEAVEN. GEORGE D PRENTICE -himself one of the most gifted of tbe / meric .ii bants—thinks that no living j>etc.-s can surpass the gracefulness and beauty of the following lines from the muse of AMELIA. They are exceedingly be.iutilul. Pale star, that with thy soft sad light Came out upon my bri lal eve. I have a sing t> sing to-night, Before thou tak'.-t thy mournful leave. Since then .-u sotily time hath stirr'd, That months have almost seemed like hours, Aod I am like a little bird That slept too long among the flowers' An I waking, sits with waveless wing, Soft singing 'mid the shades of even ; liut oh, with sadder heart 1 sing— I sing of one who dwulLt in heaven. Tbe winds are soft, the clouds are few, And tenderest thought my heart beguiles, As. floating up through mist and dew, Tbe f>ale young moon comes out and smiles ; And to tbe green resounding shore In silvery troops the ripples crowd, Till all the o<-ean dimpled o'er, Lifts up its voice and laughs aloud ; And star on star, all soft and calm, Floats up yon arch serenely blue ; And, lost to earth and stee|>cd in balm, ily spirit floats in ether too. Loved one ! though lost to human sight, I feel thy spirit lingering near. As soltly as I foel the light Tiiat trembles tbrough the atmosphere ; As in some temple's holy shade-', Though mute the hymn aud hush'd the prayer, A -olciun awo the soul pervades. Which tells that worship has been there— A breath of incense, left aloie Where many a censer swung around, Will thrill the wanderer, liko a tono, Who treads on consecrated ground. I know thy soul, from worlds of bliss That stoops awhile to dwell with me, Ilath caught the prayer I breathed in this, That I at last might dwell with theo. I hear a murmur from the seas, That thrills me like thy spirit's sigh's ; I hear a voice on breeze, That makes to mine its low replies — A voice all low and sweet like thine ; If gives an answer to my prayer, And brings my soul from beaven a sign That I -ball know ani meet thee there. I'll know thee there by that sweet face, Round nb ch a tender halo plays, Still touched with that expressive grace That marie tbee lovely all tbj days, By that sweet smile that o'er it shed A beauty like the light of even, Whose soft expression never fled, Even when it# soul had flown to heaven, I'll know thee by the starry crown That glitters in thy raven hair ; Oh ! by these blessed signs alone I'll know tbee there —l'll know thee there. For ah ! thine eye, within whose sphere Tbe sweet- of youth and bcau'v met, Tbnt .-wain in love ami softness here. Must saiio tn love and softness yet, For ah ! its daik and liquid beams, Though saddened by a thousand sighs, Were holier than the light that streams Down from the gate? ot Paradise- Were I right and radiant like the morn, Yet soft and dewv a# the eve , Too sad for eyes where smiles are born, Too young for eyes that learn to grieve- I wonder if this cool sweet breeze Hath toU'hed thy lip# >md finn'd thy brow. For all my spirit hears and sees Recall thee too my mv memory now ; For every hour we breathe apart. Will but increase, if that can be, The love that fills this little heart, Already tilled so full of thee, Yet many a tear these eves mut weep, And many a sin mist be lorgiveu, Ere these p-i'e lids shall sink to sleep— £re thou and I shall meet in heaven 44 To Speak his Thoughts is Every Freeman's Right. " TRIED AND TEMPTED. Five o'clock of a piercing February night, and so dark already that tbe weari ed young workmen in Madame Tournay's " Fashionable Dress-Making Establish ment" movnl more closely to the window to catch the last fading beams of light. It was a small, ill ventilated apartment, shab bily furnished and over-crowded with pale, tired-h>oking girls—but what then? Mad ame her-lf rolled in a claret-colored coupe, and kept liveried servants to wait upon her door ; and who never paused to think how her money was made. " Oh dear," said Grace Hooper, with a sigh, " this Greek pattern is so puzzling, and my head does ache so hard. I don t see why Mrs. Wharton wants a dress al tered that she has worn but once. Fine ladies are full of caprices." 44 Give it to me, Grac<-," said Kate Sel wyn authoritatively ; '' I'll finish it, and you go home to bed, unless you want to be laid up with a brain fever." " But what is to become of vour work, Katie?" 4 * Oh, I'll take care of that—it's but an hour or two's uxtia work, wheu all's said and done." Grace Hooper hesitated a moment —she know from sad experience bow trying was an " hour or two's extra work" when brain, hack and fingers were alike wearied out. But the pain in Iter head was increasing too rapidly for much remonstrance '• It's very good tor you, Katie," she said meekly, " at.d perhaps 1 had butter go home." Kate Selwyn nodded a pleasant good bye to tlie pale sewing girl, and began to \vork on Mr#. Wharton's wine-colored silk dress with busy, skillful fingers. She was a tall, slightly made young wo man of two or three and twenty, with rich brown hair, wound round and round the hack of her head in heavy lustrous cils, and large black eyes. There was hut little color in her r. d cheek ; Madame Tournay's ivotk r-'Otn had stolen her roses away long | ago. hut her lips were red as cut coral, and there was an arch dimple in her rounded j chin that sp >ke of mirthful temperament j and unwearying cheetfulness. Poor Katie! ! it needed all her courage to meet the stern 1 realities of life, f->r even now she was pon
