I've Been Gathering Flowers.
Oh ! I've been gathering flowers, mother,
For dula's grave to day:
Oh! I've been wandering down the glen,
Where liner we used to play.
Aid there, beside the grape wine swing,
Where mountain flocks repose,
I found this dear soft silken band,
Twined iound a lonely rose.
Oh, mother, 'Os the braid of hair
lltar little Julia used to wear!
And father down the vale, mother,
Where morning. zephyrs rise,
I found this dear, dear little book,.
'These ribbons and thcse toys;
• And there I found this bole doll,
• Within our play house shed:— •
Its little hood and silken shawl
Lay on a violet bed.
Within the book, dear mother, see,
Here are the words,"Remember me!"
Now I have plucked the rose, mother,
The silken band to save,
And gathered all the summer flowers,
For lade Julia's grave.
I've pinched the dawr from its mould,
The Illy from its lair;
For such were all the gems, mother,
Dear sister used to wear.
Now gently, 'mid the sweet perfume,
I'm going with them to her tomb.
Uncle Bernard's story.
'Oh, Uncle Bernard,' cried altogether a
group of little people, 'tell us a story !'
Uncle Bernard, a white-haired old man,
whose chair had been drawn to a warm cor
ner, for the winter was howling against the
windows—loOked up from his large print
Bible, smiled fondly on their rosy laces; 'A
story ! a story ! let me read you one out of
this good book.'
'Oh, no !' says bold little Bob, ns he caught
the old man round dui' we know all
the Bible stories : tell us a fairy tale r
.Yes. yes, Uncle Bernard !' chirruped the
rest, 'a (airy tale, a fairy tale ! you have nev
er told us a fairy talc.'
'No, deary, I have never told you a fairy
tale. Fairy tales are lies, and yount , folks
like you should not love to hear lies, nor
should old folks like the tell lies.'
'Oh, but Uncle Bernard, we know that
fairy. tales ain't true, but it is such fun to
hear them.'
my little dears, I'll try and tell you
a story that :sounds
o like a fairy talc, and yet
is all true. Sit down, and I.stcn.'
'Once upon a time, and a great while ago.
there lived in a wide wood a wild man. aiul
his Millie was Sthenos. His father and
mother had been keepers of a lovely garden.
where they dwelt in pence with our God ;
but he, very early in his childhood had
wandered 01l and lost himself among the
shadows of the forest, where he soon forgot
all that he knew. Not only his head and
face, but also his whole body. was covered
with long shaggy hair ; his nails were like
claws ; and he could climb the trees, or swim
in the water as easily as walk on the ground.
Gigantic in height, his shoulders were broad,
and his limbs sturdy. Ile could outrun the
wildest deer, hit with a stone the flying bird,
arid kill with his knotty club the fiercest
beasts. Ile ate only what he took in the
chase. with some pleasant herbs, or fruits,
or Loney, which he foiled in the hollow
trunks, and in the rocks; and he drank on
ly water Irma the springs, or the deep river
which flitted through the valley. He slept
iii caves, or in the crotches of trees, lest the
!grayling asts, should catch hint unawares.
Yet, savage as lie was, he lied a certain no-
Wpm ss and rough grace of mien which dis
tinguished him from the rough brutes around
him, rind Made them acknowledge him us
their lord. Thus he lived, lonely and hap
py, and, Matti ithstanding his strength, full
of fears.
'One day, as he was ptisliins , b through the
thicket to reach the river, he heard singing
sweeter than any he had hea thought
at first that it was a bird. • But he knetv the
songs of all birds, and that this was not' like
any of them. He dashed on, and saw re
clining on the bank of the river a creature
so lovely that he stood still in wonder, tremb
ling with a new feeling that shot like fire
through his heart and pints. tier form—
his woodusan's eve saw at once that the del
icate proportions were those of a female—
was something like his own, but. fair and
elegant, while his was brown and shaggy.
Around her waist was u loose white robe,
and about her shoulders floated a scarf blue
as the sky. While she sang she looked up
ward as thotigh some one was hearing her,
whom &heaps could not see, and then she
listened, as if to a voice he could not hear.
Soon turning her eyes upon him, she smiled
with ravishing sweetness., and beckoned hint
nearer: Awe•struck, but drawn irresistibly
on. he fell 5t her feet, gazing at her beauti
ful face. 'She now spoke in accents of his
early sßeach", , whiCh now came back to his
understanding, add-said,i
t.Sthenos, our good God, whom you have
so long forgotten, has not forgotten you; bur,
pitying your loneliness and misery, has sent
me to live with you and he your friend. Al
ready 1 love you, and you must take inc to
your heart, and give me your love.'
tAs she spoke, she bent down and wiped
his forehead, from which she had parted his
matted locks, looking with her clear blue
eyes into his, until his whole being seemed
drawn out to her, and he laid her head, with
its bright golden curls, on his broad breast,
and felt an ecstacy of inexpressible happi
ness.'•
'And new thnt I am to dwell with you,
dear Sthenos, lead me to your home.'
!' replied he, :I know not what
you mean r
•IVhere do you rest after the chase, or
amid darl, ncss ? Where do you eat your food,
where du you most delight to be That is
home.'
.1 have none. All places in the forest
are alike to me. Where weariness or night
comes upon me, there 1 lie down ; when I
have killed the deer, then I cat. 1 have
never thought of a home.'
•Untne, then, said she,)weetly,'lvt us seek
a spot where we will maleo a homti for our
selves,' and putting her slender hand in his,
she led him until they came to a fountain
gushing oat from under a rock, before which
a sunny meadow spread itself out towards
the southwest, blooming with hare-bells, and
daisy-cups, and pansies, and many more
wild flowers. .1s it not charming ?' said
she, .the spring shall give us water, and the
rock guard us from the fierce north wind,
and we can look upon the sunlight and shad
ows, us they float together over the green
grass and the flowers,that spring up through
the verdure.'
Sthenos7 smiled, rind, though he could not
understand her meaning, he felt a charm of
Nature he had never before known.
`Now,' she said, 'the sun, though its light
be pleasant, looks down toe hotly upon us ;
and when the night comes, the dews will
fall and chill us. Go, break ofrboug,hs from
the trees, and strip the broad bark from the
decayed branches.' This was an easy task
for the vigorous man , and, in the meantime,
she had gathered heaps of dry mosses, and
the spicy shoats. from the hemlocis, and
spread deep over the leaf-covered ground.
Then, leaning the thick boughs against each
other, nod laying, by her directions, the
curved bark overlapping in successive and
continuous layers, upon them, Sthenos saw
as his work, n rude, but safe hut, and said,
'This shall be our home, I go for our even
ing tonal ;' and. dashed into the forest. Ile
soon returned with wood pigeons and a young
fawri, which he had killed ; casting them at
the feet of his gentle wife, ivho had already
arranged in Italy cups the berries which
she had gathered from the meadow ; and
Sthenos beheld wild flowers, mingled with
long, trading, delicate vines, adorning the
ebtrance to th, it home.
The simple meal, soon prepared by her
skillful hands, he thought more savory than
he had ever had ; but, before she suffered
him to partake, she poinh d upward, and
with clasped hands sang pr Ilse to our good
God, the giver. Au hour of delicate friend
ship stole away, as, hand in hand, they look
ed in each other's oyes—thoughts he knew
not how to speak. and she needed no words
to utter. Then another hymn to our good
Gird, the sleepless preserver, she warbled
from her lips of gurgling melody, And the
pair sank to rest.
Thus sped on day arc r day, and night af
ter night. Gradually Stilettos lost his fierce
ness, save in the strurrgle of the chase. She
had fashioned for hint soft garments cut of
fawn skins and feathers, which he now
wore, less for need than to please his skilful
friend. His shavy hair t‘as smoothed in
to curling grace ; the hut constantly receiv
ed new conveniences and ornaments from
his strong or cunning hand, and .happy was
he, after his toils in the forest, to return bear
ing a rich honey-comb, or leading a gent
with full udders to his home—dear, because
hers.
On waking, one dewy morning, lie look
ed fondly in her loving face, b• tuning with
tender, holy thoughts, and said :'You 'call
the Stilettos, but have never told the name
by which I am to cull your, my dearest.
'You have just pronounced the name' I
love best, except when you call me your wife
'and your friend. I have had several names
in the land whence 1 came to be near you,
but that by which our good God wished you
to know the is Enthytnin, to your side; and
Whatever love can do, I will elacily perform.
With your strength and my affectionate zeal,
and the blessing of our good God, we shall
be happy as ,we may nt this wide world
wood ; but the good God has promised me,
that when you shall have learned to sing
and pray with me, that our two beings shall
be blended into one, and we shall leave the
cores', to go and dwell in n garden, with our
good God, far more beautiful than the one
from which you strayed a long while ago.'
The children were mute in Wonder and
sadness, when suddedly the Chamber was
filled with ravishing light and delicious
odors, and three radiant angels hovered over
the bed ; and the children could see far up
into the sky, and saw a glorious being tiny
der t h e Tree of Life, before the thi l one of
'God ; and in the smiling octuntenanoe dithe
NUMBER 19.
glorious being they recognized, strangely
but sweetly mingled, the love of both father
and mother. And one of the angels said
(he was the tallest of the three) «I pointed
oui the way to them, and encouraged them
to strive to reach the garden."
"And I," said the second, on whose bos
om shone a gem like a golden anchor, .bore
them up on my wings.'
"And I," joyfully exclaimed the third,
who had eyes like the first spring violets
washed with rain, "have made them both
one forever"
Then turning to her sister angels, she
said : "Your tasks for them are over; buts
go to fill their united beings with immortal
happiness !"
"Ah, Uncle Bernard," cried Gertrude,
that is better than a fairy tale, but what
queer names—Sthenos and Enthymia—
what do they mean ?"
"I made them out of the Greek," answer•
ed the old man, "and by Sthenos, I mean
man left to himself, when he would be a
mere savage ; and by Enthymia, I mean
wisdom sent to him by our good God, to
teach him how to live on earth,and prepare
for heaven. When man is transformed to
holy wisdom, and uses his strength for wise
ends, he becomes all good; and
.God takes
him up to the second Paradise."
'Yes,' says little Charly, 'and the angel
with the anchor is Hope.'
'And the tallest angel is Faith,' adds Rob
ert, 'for Faith gives pious people courage.'
'And the gentle, blue-eyed one, must be
Love, fur Love lives forever,' whispers Ger
trude in Uncle Bernard's car.
•Bless you, dear child, you look like her 1!
whispers back Uncle Bernard.
General Jackson.
The following notice of General Jackson
is from Col. Benton's history.
Ho was a careful farmer, overlooking ev..
erything himself, seeing that the fields and
fences were in good order, the stock well
attended, and the slaves comfortably provi
ded for. His [louse was the seat of hospi
tality, the resort of friends and accunintan
ces, and of all strangers visiting the State—
and the more agreeable to all from the per.
feet conformity of Mrs. Jackson's disposition
to his own. . But he needed some excite
ment beyond that which a farming life could
affiircl, and found it for some years in the
animating sports of the turf. He loved fine
horses—racers of speed and bottom—owned
several—and contested the four • mile heats
with the best that could be bred, or brought
to the State, and for large sums. That is
the nearest to gaming that I never knew him
to come. Cards and the cock-pit have been,
imputed to him, but most erroneously, I nev
er saw him engaged in either. Duels were.
usual in that time, and he had his share of
them, with their unpleasant concomitants;
but they passed away with all their animosi
ties, and he has often been seen zealously
pressing the advancement of those with
whom he had but lately been arrayed in
deadly hostility. His temper was placable
as well ns irascible, and his reconciliations
were cordial and sincere, Al that my own,
case was a signal instance. There • Was a
deep-seated vein of piety in him, unaffected•
iy showing itself in his reverence for divine
worship, respect for the ministers of the Gos- .
pet, their hospitable reception in his house,
and constant encouragement of all the pious
tendencies of Mrs. JaCkson. Anti when they
afterwards became members of the church,
it was the natural and regular results of
their early and cherised feelings... He was
gentle in his house, and alive to the tender
est emotions ; and of this I can give an in
stance, greatly in contrast with his supposed_
character, and worth more than a long dis
course in showing what that character really
was. I arrived sat his house one wet chilly
evening . in February, and came upon him
in the twilight, *sitting alone before the fire.
a lamb and a child between his knees.
Ile started a little, called a servant to re
move the two innocents to another room, and
explained to the how it was. Thee hild had
cried because the lamb was out in the cold,
and begged him to bring it in, which he had
done to please the•child—his adopted son,
then not two years old. The ferocious man
