She's left me hers ohms again
'Twill be • weary lot,
Through all this cheerless white thus
To live where she is not :
To sit, where once we used to sit,
With smileless lip and dumb,
To count the moments since she went,
And know not when she'll come
We talked all through the summer time,
We'd talk through all the spring,
Of bow about the winter hearth
We'd make a pleasant ring ;
Of how with loving words and leeks
The time should all be sped ;
The Sre-light's glow is moumfal now,
The books are all unread.
We never were together long,
We have not been se blest;
I might have known this hope of ours
Would perish like the rest :
And half I trembled all the while,
And feared it would be so—
The hand of lite would press me beck
From where her feet must go.
If there shall ever be • time,
When, as In days that were,
My soul can whisper all its dreams
And ails thouirhts to her :
When I can shore her heart's sweet hopes,
Or soothe its bitter pain—

And that were come spin !

THE FOLLY OF PRID E.—The Rev. Sidney
Smith, for many years one of the contrib
utors to the great English Reviews, thus
discourses on the folly of pride, in such a
creature as man :
"After all, take some quiet, sober mo
tnent of life and add to together the two
ideas of pride in man, behold him, a creature
of a span high, stalking through infinite
space in all the granduer of littleness.—
Perched on a spec of universe, every wind
strikes into his blood the coldness of death;
his soul floats from his body like melody
from the string ; day and night, as the dust
on the wind, he is rolling along the heav
ens, through a labyrinth of worlds, and all
the creations of Cod are floating above and
beneath. Is this a creature to make for
himself a crown of glory, to deny his own
flesh, to mock at his fellow sprung from
the dust to which both will soon return ?
Does the proud man not err ? Does ho
not suffer ? Does ho die ? When ho
reasons, is he never stopped bldifficulties?
When be acts is he never tempted by pleas
ure ? When he dies, can ho escape the
common grave 1 Pride is not the heritage
of man ; humility should dwell with frail
ty, and atone for ignorance, error and im
perfection."
Sterne, who used his wife very ill, was
one day talking to Garrick, in a fine senti
mental manner, in praise of conjugal love
and fidelity. "The husband," said Sterne,
"who behaves unkindly to his wife do serves
to have his house burnt over his head."
"If you think so," said Garrick, "I hope
your house is insured."
Horace Mann thus sums up a few of the
advantages of modern invention :—"One
boy, with a fourdrinier wall:rake
more paper in a twelve month than all
Egypt could have made in a hundred years
during the reign of the Ptolemies. Ono
girl with a power•press, will strike off books
faster than a million rarities could copy
them before the invention of printing.—
One man, with an iron foundry, will turn
out more utensils in a day than Tubal Cain
could have forgod had be worked diligently
to this time."

who used to attend the public disputations
held at the Academy, was once asked if he

Love thy Neighbor.
When Mary and I were married,
(says Grant Thornburn,) we were young and
foolish, for we had nothing to be married
with; but Mary was delicate, and I thought I
could take care of her best. I knew I had
a strong arm and a bravo heart to depend
upon.
We rented a chamber and wenEto house
keeping. We got together a little furni
ture—a table, bedstead, dishes ; but our
money failed us before we bought the
chairs. I told Mary she must turn up a
tub; for I could not run in debt. No, no.
It was not long before our rich neighbor,
Mrs. M—, found us out ; and very kindly,
she supplied um half a dosim of chairs, ad
ded to our store. They wore old ones, to
be sure, but answered just as well for us.
I shall -never forget the new face those
Chairs put upon our snug quarters; they
never looked just right before. Tho tables
have turned with Mrs. M— and me.—
Now she has become a poor widow. "But 'I
I I
she shall never want while I have anything
—never," cried the old man, with a beam
ing face ; "I shall never forget those old
chairs."
Ah, now the secret was out 1 It was
the inlerul of the old chairs which main
tained the poor widow. She was living on
the interest and compound interest of a
little friendly act done years before ; and
it sufficed for herself and for her daughter.
How beautiful it is to see how God bless
es the operation of his great moral law---
'Love thy neighbor :" and we should often
er see it, could we look into the hidden
paths of life, and find that it is not self-in
terest, nor riches, nor fame, that binds
heart to heart. The simple power of a
friendly act can do far more than they.—
It is these—the friendly acts, the neigh
borly kindness, the Christian sympathy of
one towards another, which rob wealth of
its power to curse, extract the bitter from
sorrow, and open wells of gladness in deso
late homes. We do not ilways see the
golden links shining in the chain of hu
man events, but they are there ; and hap
py is he who feels their gentle but irresis
tible influence.
A Woan to YOUNG MEN.—Wishing and
sighing, imagining and dreaming of great
ness, said William Wirt, will not make you
great. But cannot a young man command
his energies T Read Foster, on "Decision
of Character." That book will tell you
what is in your power to accomplish; you
must gird up your loins, and go to work
with all the indomitable energy of Hanni
bal scaling the Alps. It is your duty to
make the most of time, talents, and oppor
tunities.
Alfred, King of England, though he per
formed more business than any one of his
subjects, found time to study.
Frederick the,Great, with an Empire at
his direction, in the midst of war and on
the eve of battle, found time to revel in
the charms of philosophy, and feast on the
luxuries of science.
Napoleon, with Enrose at his disposal,
with kings in his auto-Chamber, and at the
head of thousands of men whose destinies
wore suspended on his arbitrary pleasure,
found time to converse with books.
The following pretty lines, by ANNis
Kirs.so, are from the Frankford "Hama :"
Friendship.
Alas! we know not who are friends,
Till in the dark and trying hour
When fortune fails, and slander lends
Her tongue, and tries her power.
True friendship is but seldom fumed •
Yet many claim the name of frien d,
Who when the 'binderies tongue doth sound
Will try to injure, not defend.
He who the name of friend deserves,
Though fortune fail, remains the MUDS ;
The same affection still preserves ;
Regan!, net riches nor yet fame.
Then call not him your faithful friend
Who would not point your erring ways,
Who would not care and and counsel lend
And comfort your declining days.
Ah me! friendship's chiefly but a name ;
A charm that lulls the heart forlorn ;
It always follows wealth and fame,
But leaves the poor Unknown to mourn.
An old clergyman, preaching before
some of the American army at Corpus-
Christi, made use of these remarks : "Ten
thousand dollars is a sum large to most of
us ; yet what would it profit P You can
not carry it out of the world. Then what,
would you do with it, or you, or you, or
you ,1F" pointing with an oratorical flourish
at each repetition to different individuals
befoe him. At length an old stager, well
known to the Corpus Christi army as Judge
11—ys, could contain himself no longer.
When the finger pointed at him, and in
I the momentary pause succeeding the
searching question, the Judge broke the

shrill tone, 11 .1.ay it out in mules ?"

Extraordinary Novelties.
We are hardly aupprised by the intelli
' genre that Mr. Barnum is now in treaty
for the following additions to the attrao
done of his American .Museum. Whenev
er he shall be able to announce them as on
hand, the rush to that popular establish
ment must surpass all past, experience.—
They are
1. A Burnieller who isn't afraid the pas
sage of the Maine Lew will "injure the
Temperance cause."
2. An Office-Holder who thinks he has
been kept in long enough, sind ia now wil
ling to stand back and give otbdiraohanee.
8. A partisan of despoOsm iibo doesn't
intensely halo Louis Kossuth, and do his
utmost to parry the force of, his eloquent
appeals for American sympathy for the'
down-trodden Millions of Europe.
--4. A bitter, rabid Loce-Foco who isn't
anxious that the Whigs should run some
body—anybody—olso than thn. Scott for
next President.
5. A politician out of office who doesn't
think Republies , ungratefuL. and his own
merits very inadequately appreciated.
6. A good-for-nothing loafer, who never
accomplished and never will accomplish
anything, who doesn't suppose he could
make an ample fortune if somebody would
only lend him the means of getting to-Cal
ifornia.
7. An Editor who 4 likes a Esocial glass'
who isn't down upon all stringent anti-Liq
uor Isegislation on grounds of print ipk.
Owing tto the enormous expense of pro
curing these wonders, the Free List, in
chiding the Press, will inevitably be sus
pended during their exhibition.—/F.

The following is certanly the beat anti
bacchanal song we have ever seen. Some
of the best lyrics in the language are on the
other side, and the efforts of temperance
song writers, however truthful and sound
in their philosophy, have been anything
but songs. We think, however, the ene
my has been fairly met in this instance,
and we hope the author will adapt his vers
es to_ one of his own beautiful melodies.
SONG.
Oh ! Comrades gill no Glass Pr Me.
BY STEPHEN C. FOSTER
Oh ! comrades, fill no glass for ins
To drown my soul in liquid flame;
For if 1 drank, the toast should be—
To blighted fortune, health; and fame.
Yet, though I long to quell the Wife
'I het passion holds against my Ws.
Still boon companions may ye be;
But, comrades, fill no eau for me !
I know a breast that once was light,
Whose patient sufferings need soy care—
t knows hearth that once was bright ;
Bul drooping hopes have nestled there.
Then, while the tear drops slightly steal
From wounded hearts that I should heal,
Though boon companions ye may be,
Oh! comrades, fill no glass For rue!
When I was young, I telt the tide
Of aspirations undefiled :
But manhood's years have wronged the pride
My parents centered in their child.
Then by a mother's sacred tear,
By all thqt memory should revere,
Though boon companions ye may be,
,Oh ! comrades, fill no glass for me !

gue had two pupils, to one of whom be was
very partial, god to the other Nevem One
morning it happened that these two boys
were late, and were called out to account
for it. "You must have beard the bell,
boys ; why did you not come ?",
"Please, sir," Ladd the favorite. "I was
dreamin' that I was goin' to Californy
and I thought the sehool-bell was the
steam-boat bell, as I was goin' in."
"Very well," said the master, glad of any
pretext to excuse his favorite ; "and now,
air, turning to the other, what have you to
say ?"
"Please, sir," said the puzzled boy—"l

LECTORS ON WONAN.—Hert. Horace
Mann delivered a lecture on Woman on
Monday night, in die New YOrk Taber
nacici which was listened to by as large a
number of men and woman, principally
the latter, as could get within the building.
The Sun says--The whole snbjeet of the
sexes—their relative duties, positions,
properties, qualittes,—..alike, but oh, how
different r. *as opened up, in a way t,
convince the female line,—man of course
entertaining no doubt about the matter,--
that woman is barely "a little lower than ;
the angels." The authorities of the pos.
tulate, in addition to the ipse thxlt of the
lecturer, were—Mtiore, Byron, Shalt
,speak., and lastly Burns ; whose unequall
' ell cottliliment was quoted :
'His 'prentiee hen' be tried on man,
And then he made the Lamm 01"
A school has arisen, in our day, observed
the lecturer, that the sexes are equal in
faculties, and adapted alike for all the pin.:
[titbit of life. Full of this, a Miss Maria
Weaver, whom he would call Maria Wea
ver, Esq. (laughter) had dressed herself
in the garb of man, blue coat, vest, . and
continuations, (great, laughter, in which the
ladies most heartily joined !) realizing in
a manner, the oldetying,..theAsilorinak
the man.", According to this notion any
knight of the shears might transform wo
man into ma'amd mawinto woman; but
the anatomical construction of both was
opposed to the thereory, for from thiferown
of the head to the sole of the foot no single 1
organ is alike ►n the two, but diversified.
In the divine economy of creation, the
human heart was created male and female ;
and albeit it might be alleged that Woman
was made out of one of the TWO 7 - hundred
and fifty bones in man, it Must be coulees-
ed that one bone was a very different thing
from a bone with a live woman about it.
(I,aughter.)• It had been' thus suggested
by those engaged in physiological pursuits
that woman being make from one of the
most crooked bones would - account for
certain little infirmities of temper, but on
the other hand ft must be confessed that
what was desigued to mate and be a match
for man, must be somewhat crooked.
(Great laughter.)
There were innate and cognate distinc
bone - between male and female, which tut
lure never lost sight of, unless in the for
mation of a :monster. Man surpassed in
stature and strength ; woman excelled him
in grace and beauty and affection, Ile
was distinguished by Doric strength, she
by Corinthian beauty--God's noblest
work I He the Arboretum, elle the Flora of
the material world.
The lecturer glanced at the position of
women in different countries. establishing
the fact by experience that where placed
on an equality with man, their fine abili
lies and gifts of nature rapidly developed
themselves. For this equality he earnest
ly and convincingly pleaded.
An Interesting Incident
Mr. Joseph Leavitt, one of our citizens.
returned from California, in speaking of
bights and scenes in California, mentioned
the following incident, which speaks elo
quently of the true humanity of hearts in
California, where selfishness and passions
are supposed to reign with unwonted
force :
During the raging of the cholera in Cal.
Worm, a young man from the State of
Mississippi, Jesse Cook, about twenty
three years of age, who was engaged in
the laborious work of mining. Chanced to
meet with a family irom Missouri, con
sisting of husband, wile, and .two children,
one of them , au infant. Disease had at
tacked one of the children, a little boy,
and he was soon stricken down by chol
era, and 'laid by the sorrowing parents in
a little grave dug in the bank of the river.—
Soon alter, the father of the child died,
leaving only the mother and her infant
daughter. ..Her grief weagreat. She was
in a strange land. The husband of her
youth and the first born son of her hopes
had departed to the land of spirits, and
their remains were lying 'in their graves
in the quiet vale of a river. Her earthly
support had failed, and yet she clung to
life for the sake of her infant daughter.—
Strangers proved kind, and the hand of
benevolence ' provided for her wants, and
the voice of kindness greeted her ears.—
.But disease preyed upon her, and dipith
tore her away from her tender infaut, , altd
by strange bands slab was buried.-
The sweet loving eyes of 'in ' 'infant
looked up cohfidingly into the face ul
young Cook, and a emibs wreathed its
beautiful lace, and its delicate little hands
stretched' forth confidingly. No female
was there to careseadd care far it, and the
young miner, with a swelling 'heart, and
widra grist in God, and hie own resour
ces; took the nameless infant, then only
seven months old, in charge, and provi

South Carolinian planter. The Boston
father had No right to his own sone.—
The law, however, had long been consid
ered a dead letter. The Christian moth

with her children to prayer, felt that they
were safe from the slayer hunter, surroun

and Melees institutions of Maioachuiette.
The Fugitive Slave law was-enactetl f -,'
It revived the hopes of the slave owners...-.
A young, healthy, end energetic mother,
with two fine ERIN, was a rich prize:—
She would make an excellent breed
er. Good men been to say "we moat
enforce this law, it is one of the eompro
mists of the Constitution." Christian
ministers began to preach, “the voice of
law is the voice of God. There' is nu"
Idglier rule of duty.
; We moat send back
the fugitive and her children, even though
we take our sister from tlso sacramental
table of our common Saviour."
The pour woman was panic stricken.—
Her friends gathered round her and trem
bled for her. Her husband was absent
from home, a seaman on board, one of our
Liverpool packets. She was afraid to go
out of doors, lest some one from shif'South
should see her, and recognise her. One
day, us she was going to die grocery fur
some provisions, her quick and anxious
eye eiviglit a glimpse of a man prowling
amend, whom she immediately recognised
as Trim the vicinity of her old home of
Slavery. Almost fainting with terror, she
hastened home, end taking her twolithil•
dram by . the hand. fled to the house of a
friend. She mid her trembling children
were hid in a garret. In lees than an
hour after her escape, the officer with a
writ, tame for her arrest.
It was a dark and stormy Jay. -The
rain, freezing as it fall, swept in floods
through the streets of Boston. • Nighteame,
cold, black, and tempestuous. At midnight
her friends took her in a hack, and con
veyed, her, with her children, to the house
of her pastor. A prayer-meeting bad
been appointed there, at that hour,. in be
half of their suffering sister. A small
group of stricken hearts were there assem
bled. They kneeled in prayer. The poor
mother, thus hunted from her home, her
husband far away, sobbed, in the bitter
ness of her anguish, as though her heart
would break. Her little children, trem
bling before a doom the enormity of which
they were incapable of appreciating, cried
loudly and uncontrollably. The humble
minister caught the contagion. His voice
became inarticulate through emotion.=
Bowing hie head he ceased to pray, and
yielded himself to the /Ribbings of sympa
thy and grief. The floods of anguish
were unloosed. -Groaningit andlamenta l
tions filled the room. Nu one could pray.
Before the Lord they could only weep.—
Other fugitives were there, trembling in
view of a doom more dreadful to them
than death.
After an hour of weeping, for the voice
of prayer had passed away into die sub
limity of unutterable anguish, they took
this Christian mother and her children, in
Chack, and conveyed them to one 01 the
unard steamers, which tormincely wee

took them in thegloom of midnight; through
the tempest swept streets; lest the slave
hunter should meet them. Her brethren
and tuatara of the church raised a little mon

passage, and- to save.her, fur a law days,
