Give me old music? let me hear
The songs of days gone by,
Nor slay thy voice in kindly fear,
If to illy notes a falling tear.
Should melte n mate reply !
The songs that lulled me on the breast,
To sleep away the noon,
Sing on—sing on! I love them best,
There's witchery in the notes impressed
With each familiar tune.
Give me old friends !—the tried, the_true,
Who launched their barks with me,
And all my joys and sorrows knew,
As chance's gales the pilgrim blew
Across the troubled sea.
Their memories are the same as mine—
Our love through life shall last;
Bring one, bring all, your smiles to shine
Upon our good old songs and wine.
Like sunbeams from the past !
ZelectionEi,
The Journal of Commerce furnishes its
readers with the following afThcting sketch.
it is a picture ir) real life—a vision of truth.
Read it ilnit your heart may be softened, and
your soul made whole:
«A lady was riding some years since
through Connecticut in her lather's carriage,
when they where brought to a stop by a
woman coating from a cottage, near which
they passed and beckoning to them. Draw
ing the reign tight and stopping his horses,
r.
she came nearer, her lace appeared intelli
gent and attractive, but melancholy withal
and her eye was restless :111(1 roving ; but 71:3
she reached the side of the carriage, and
laid her .hand on the window edge, she gaz
ed with intense earn es LlieSS into the face of
the lady, and asked "have you seen William
anywhere ?"
"Startling as the proximity of a deranged
person manifestly must have been, the lady
had sufficient presence of mind to assure
her that she had not seen William, and the
poor watcher by the roadside turned away
with a sigh.
Years had passed and the incident was
almost forgotten, when a few weeks ago, the
sante lady now the wife of n lawyer in this
city, was riding through Fulton street in
Brooklyn. A loud cry attracted her atten
tion and lookiwT nt the sidewalk, she saw a
woman with steaming hair and wild eyes,
running down the street, screaminff Willy,
Willy, Willy, in a voice that seemed, as she
described it to be, so unutterably mournful
and thrilling, that it must reach the ear of
him she called, unless that ear was sealed
in the silence of death. .
"Was it the same person she had met
long ago in Connecticut ? and had her poor
wandering brain been searching all these
years for the boy she loved, and searching
all in vain. Who was he, and ‘vhere on
the brtiad earth had he kept himself out of
the reach of that wild love ? She had askt d
a millien persons if they had seen him and
none knew him. She had called him in
the forest, in the crowded city, in the day
and in the night. now hopefully, now mourn
fully, and always he had- answered not, or
was he perchance beyond answering; and
did the voice reach him in the land whence
he might not reply to her; however much
his soul yearned inwards her? Mayhap, if
so it be, and he strive hard,—mnyhnp some
pleasant evening when she sits all alone and
murmurs his name in accents of unchanging
affection, God may grant to him utterance
in tunes that will reach her worn old heart,
and them—how will it spring back through
the lonesoine yea s, and with the freshness
and beauty (if, th and youthful love go
forth to meetehim ? Or, in these lines will
in one day go further then she can in a thou
sand if William be anywhere on the earth,
and his conscience tells him he is wander
ing from the love he owes allegiance to, let
him know when he r;:.ad this, that there is
ringing all through the world, now here,
now there,a voice that is calling him mourn
fully, but oh how lovingly, back to arms that
yearn to embrace him. •
One of the best foundling storks we ever
read is found in the police 'corner of the
Philadelphia Pennsylvanian :
As Mrs. Esther Stansbury, (residing in
a court running from Race below, sixth.)
was about to bring, a bucket of water from
the hydrant last night she found an old
basket suspended from the knob of her front
door. Putting her hand into the basket, she
felt something live and kicking—trot so en
veloped in rags that on further discovery
could be made without unwrapping the ob
ject. A piece of paper folded like a letter,
ley by the side of the animated bundle.—
Mrs. Stansbury immediately returned into
the house, and by• the light of the lamp
examined' the billet. It was addressed to
her husband. She - tremulously. broke the
Seal and read as follOwtt:.

The Case of Joe Stansbury.
M=
NUMBER 36.
To Jor STANSBURY.
Sus—l send you the baby, which you wilt
please to take good care of and bring up
right, so that it may turn out to. be a better
man than its daddy.—Oh Joseph !— what
a sly old raks.you are !—who would think
that such a staid, sober old spindle shanks
could be such a, tearing-down sinner !
—The child is yours. You may swear to
that. Look at it :—it is Joe Stansbury all
over. You deceived me shamefully; Jo - 7
sePh—letting on to be n widower—but do
a fathyr's part by the young one, and I'll
forgive you. Your heart broken
P. S. Don't let the sharp-nosed wife of
yours see this letter. • Gammon her with
sane kind of a story about the baby.
Mr. Stansbury was in the basement kitch
en quietly eating his supper, and little im
agining what a storm was brewing over his
; head. The door of the kitchen was violently
thrown open, and Mrs. S.'s voice veiled out—
' .Sransbury ? come up here, you villain ; here's
a mess for you !' The astonished Stansbury
hastily wiped his mouth and obeyed the
summons. 'Don't you want to see Nancy ';
the heartbroken Nancy l' cried Mrs. Stans
bury, when her guilty husband hobbled up
into the room. .Nancy !—what Nancy's
that ?' said the sly old rogue in well feinged
perplexity. 'Why, Nancy, the mother of
this baby that's been hung up at you; door,
Mr. Stansbury. Oh yoti look mighty inno
cent ; but just read that letter, and then look
in that basket. Dont't be afratd it won't
bite, it's got no teeth, poor thing !—you'll
knew it—for as your hussy says, it is just
like you all over. Please goodness, 111
expose you before every body.'
And in less than five minutes Mis. Stans.
bury had collected a room of spectators, to
witness the process of unwrapping the baby.
Anxious expt ctation sat on every counte
nance ns the jealous lady tore away rag af
ter rag from the body of tho foundling—.
the vigorous movements of which astonished
every hotly. is full of the devil already,'
said Mrs. S. ; , that shows it's his—you'll
soon see that it's like him in every thing.'
At last, all the swaddling clothes being re
moved, out jumped the baby, and made its
escape through the open poor:
It wa s
. a big torn cat. The Stansburys
had been victimized by a practical joke,
the contrivance of which was traced to a fe
male neighbor. Mrs. S., who had no taste
for fun of that kind made her complaints
against the suspected party, but as the trick
appeared to be without malice, no binding
over took place.

Calveras courtty seems to abound in natu
ral curiosities, a 4 there erg many caves well
worth visiting in this part of the country.--
The great prevalence of lime-stone in our
hill rouges will naturally account for these
interesting formations. Lately I availed
myself of the offer of a kind friend to con
duct me to one of them, and was much
pleased with my visit, although, I am sorry
to say, that visitors seem to emulate each
other in their zeal to deform and deface what
should be most carefully guarded and pro
tected. The cave to which I allude situ
ated about a mile from the town, on the
south bank of the South Branch of Sutter
Creek. The entrance is through a small

of the platform not being more than tea
feet from the entrance, whence it slopes gent
ly down till the centre is reached, forming
a chamber of about 20 feet high and about
30 long. The floor is composed of octagons
of calcareoui formation along which in
narrow bed silently glides a crystal stream.
