The New Aristocracy.
A title once could only show
Tbe signs of noble birth,
And men of rank were years ago
The great ones of the earth.
They deemed itjut.t the crowd should shrink
Before the cap and gown ;
They thought it wrong the poor should think,
And right too keep them down.
Those were the dive when books were thing'
..The people" could not touch ;
Made for the use of lords and king's,
And only made for such.
To work the loom, to till the soil,
To cut the costly gem,
To tread the round of daily toil—
Was quite enough for them.
Time was when just to read and write
Was thought a wondrous deal
For those who woke with morning light
To earn their daily meal—
The man a more submissive slave
The lees his head-piece litww ;
And so the mass from habit gave
Their birth right to a lew.
Now look abroad—the light of Truth
Is spreading far and wide,
And that which fills the English youth
Must shame our ancient pride.
'Ti.'Tia>rtxn alone can wield the sword,
In spite of wealth and rank ;
The artisan may lace a lord
With thousands in the batik.
We scorn not Mope of high degree,
For so 't were wrong to do;
But poorer men an rich (tin be.
And quite as noble too.
The prince nub• act a gayer part,
But he'who works for bread
May have, perchance, a warmer heart
And p'ryn a clearer head.
Then grieve not for the •"good old times,"
Behold a brighter day !
The reuses of our fathers' crimes
Are wearing fast away.
Before the Pen, the hew, the Rail,
Must old opinions fall
The mighty project cannot fail—

bride to share his widowed home. No

coveted or won. No expense or pain had

familiar objects, fraught with rho tender
est associations, had been removed, to make
way for the upholsterer's choicest fiineies.
There was no picture left upon the wall ,
with sweet, sad mournful eyes to follow
him with silent reproach. Every thing
was fresh and delightful as the new-horn
joy that tilled his heart.
"My dear Edith," said he, fondly push
ing bark the hair from her forehead ; then

I have tried in vain to induce Nelly to give
you the welcome you deserve ; however,
she shall not annoy you. I shall compel
her to stay in the nurkitry till she yields to
my wishes."

step-mother, tootionsly ; "I think I un

Walter Lee looked after her retreating fig
ure with a lover-like fondness. The room
seemed to him to grow suddenly darker,
when the door closed after her. Reaching
out his hand, he almost unconsciously took
up a book that lay near him. A slip of
paper fluttered out from between the leaves,
like a white-winged messenger. The joy
ous expression of his face faded into one of
deep sorrow, as he read it. The hand-wri
ting was his child's mother's. It ran thus :
"Oh, to die, and be forgotten ! This
warm body Cold—these active limbs still—
these lips dust ! Suns to rise and set,
flowers to bloom, the moon to silver leaf
and tree around my own dear borne ; the
merry laugh, the pleasant circle, and I not
there ! The weeds choking the flowers at
my head-stone; the severed tress of sunny
hair forgotten in its envelope; the sun of
happiness so soon absorbing the dew-drop
of sorrow ! The cypress changed for the
orange wreath! Oh ! no, no ; don't
quite forget! close your eyes sometimes,
and bring before you the.face that once
made sunshine in your home I—feel again
the twining clasp of loving arms ; the lips
that told you (not in worms) how dear
you were. Oh I Walter, do not quite for

mother's soul still speak to you.

Warm tears fell upon the paper, as Wal
ter Lee folded it, hack. He gave himself
time to rally, and then glided gently up to
the kprsery door. It was partly open. A
little fairy creature of some five summers
stood in the middle of the floor. Her tiny
face was half hidden in her sunny curls.
Her little pinafore was full of toys, which
she grasped tightly with either hand.
"No, you are not my mamma," said the
child. "/ want my own dead mamma, and
I'm sorry papa brought you hem" .
"Oh, don't say that," said the young
stepmother ; "don't call me 'mamma,' if
it gives . you pain, dear. lam quite wil

Nellie looked up with a pleaunt eur-
prise. •
"I had a dear mamma and papa once,"
she continued, Hand brothers and sisters

Nellie's eyes began to moisten ; and ta
king out oue after another of the little sou
veniere and toys from her pinafore, she
said, "And you won't take away this—
and this—that my dead mamma gave me ?"
"No, indeed, dear Nellie !"
"And you will let me climb in my pa
pa's lap, as I used to ; and put my check
to his, and kiss him ? and love him as
much as I ever can, won't you ?"
"Yes, yes, my darling."
Walter Lee could hear no more ; his
heart was full.
What ! Mary's child pleading with a
stranger, for room in a father's heart !
In the sudden gush of this new fount of
tenderness, had he forgotten or overlooked
the claims of that helpless Wile one ?
God forbid ! 'From A'llie's clear eyes
let her mother's soul still speak to you.'
Aye, it did.
When next Walter Lee met his young
bride, it was with a chastened tenderness.

"Dear Mary," said Harry to his
little wife, "I have a favor to ask of you.—
You have a friend whom I dislike very
much, and who I am quite sure will make
trouble between us. Will you give up
Mrs. May for my sake, Mary ?"
A light shade of vexation crossed Ma
ry's pretty face, tatshe said, "you are un
reasonable, Harry. She is lady-like, refi
ned, intellectual, and fascinating, is she
not ?"
"Yes, all of that ; and for that very rea
son her influence over one so impulsive and
yielding as yourself, is more to be dreaded,
if unfavorable. I'm quite iu earnest, Ma
ry. 1 could wish never to see you togeth
er again."
"I'shaw ! dear Harry, that's going lon
far ; don't be disagreeable, let us talk of
something else. As old Uncle Jeff says,
how's trade 1" and she looked archly in
his face.
Harry didn't milt.
"Well," said the little wife, turning a
way, Mill patting her font nervously, "I
don't nee how 1 can break with her, Hai
ry, for a whim of yours ; besides, I've pro
mised to go there this very evening."
Ilarry nnule no reply, and in a few Mill.'

Mary stood behind the curtain, and look
ed after him as he went down the street.—
There was au uncomfortable stifling sen
sation in her throat, and something very
like a tear glittering in her eye. Harry
was vexed ! she was sure of that ; he had
gone off for the first time since their mar
riage, without the affectionate good-bye
that was usual with him, even when they
parted but for an hour or two. And so she
wandered, restless and unhappy, into her
little sleeping room.
It was quite a little gent. There were
statuettes, and pictures, and vases, all gifts
from him either before or since their mar
riage—each one had a history of its own,
some tender association connected with
harry. There was a bouquet, still fresh
and fragrant, that he had purchased on
his way home the day before, to gratify
her passion for flowers. There was a dhoice
edition of poems they were reading to
gether the night before, with Nary's name
written ou the leaf, in Ilarry's bold, hand
some band. Turn where she would, some
proof of his devotion met her eye. But
Mrs. May ! She was so smart and satir
ical ! She would make so much sport of
her-for being “ruled" so by Harry ! had
n't she told her "all the men were ty
rants?" and this was Harry's first. attempt
to govern her. No, no, it would not do for
her to yield.
So the pretty evening dress was taken
out ; the trimming re-adjusted and remod
elled, and all the little et cetera., of her
toilette decided. Yes, she would,go ; she
had quite made up her mind to that.
Then she opened her jewel case ; a little
note fell at her feet. She knew the con
tents very well. It was from Henry,
(slipped slily into her hand on her birth
day, with that pretty bracelet.) It could
n't do any harm to read it again. It was
very lover-liitelor it year old husband.
But she liked it ! Dear Harry! and she
folded it buck, and sat down, more unhap
py than ever, with her hands crossed in
her lap, and her mind in a most piteable
state of irresolution
Perhaps after all Harry was right about
Mrs. May ; and if ho wasn't, one hair of
his head was worth more to her than all
the women in the world. Ile" had never
said one unkind word to her, never! he
had anticipated every wish ; he had been
so attentive and solicitous when she was ill.
How could she grieve him ?

Love fur Children.
There is not in this world a more love
able object than a young lair
brow unshadowel by care, its clear eye
undimmed by tears, its pure heart untaint
ed by passion. Its every word, look and
fiction bespeak its guilelessness. Its smiles,
its affectionate endearments, its unstinted
confidence—its artless, winning ways, knit
it to your heart with strong and lasting
ties. Without childhood's ringing laugh
and bird-like mush., how desolate the house
hold ! Byron had a heart over-running
with love for children, if there is any truth
in words. What a delightful picture he
here holds out to us :
••Look ! how he loughs. and stretcheanut
And opens wide his blue eyes urn thine,
To hail his rather ; while hie little form
Flutters as "mined with joy. Talk not of pain !

That wan is to be pitied who has no love
for children—who frowns upon their spur

would nut carry such a cold, torpid heart

Abdul Ave-and-thirty veers ago, when
only one sentence of a speech was given
on an average, every five or six minutes.
and when the reporters had to sit for many
hours at a time, they were often at a loss
what to do with themse4ves. On one oc

yawned out, "Mr. Speaker, will yon favor

M.:outfit', Incident
A writer in the times, having been at
Marsliiicld. tells id' two y g elm trees
simaling star by side. on the lanai, which
were planted there by I1311(1 ut
memory of the loved children villiPreeelliid
him lip the spirit world. One 'nursling a
few months ago. Mr. %Veuster had been
suissing from his study lor an hour or
wore, When lie made his appearance with
two small elm trees and a spade in Ins
hands. SIIMIIII.IIOII/ the Hilend:ince of his
soil, he went out upon the lawn, planted •
the young tree., and then turning to Fletch
er said in a subdued Voice, as tie (I.llllVd
away. "My son, protect these trees after
alter I am guise; let them ever rewind von
of Julia and Edward." Their sear a n d
Galling leaves insw seem to ty pity parlicirt
non ut the mourning that marks this scene
of sorrow. The flower garden—enclosed
with a neat and ornamental wire fence,
on which are trained ehuioa rose vines—
occupies nearly an acre of land. east of
the mansion, and contains the ris hest apd
mist beautiful varieties of plants and shrubs
of every description, including numerous
exotica.
From the same correspondence we get
another incideni, whieli we liiiVe !ward be
fore, but it will bear repetition inithis con
'on :
•• When he [the boy Webster] first ar
rived at the twatleiny of Mr. A !Amt. his
•personal appearance, in his ill-titting •
home-made, home-spun garments. together
with his ally, aukard manners, created,
much tuorrituent among the boys, and
many jokes were cracked at his expense.
Young Daiviera sensitive nature nould ill
brook this ; and, after suffering from it two
or three days, lie went to the teacher and ;
told hint he must go home. The teacher
inquired the cauae,aud Daniel math( a clear
breast of it. The former bade htin not
mind it, but keep quietly at his studies,;
and his turn would come by-and by. He
obeyed, and, itt the end offhe week, ho was
placed at the head of the class that had rid
iculed him. After two months had passed
in hard study, the teacher, at the close
of the school one day, called him up in
presence of the-seholars, and told hint he
could not stay there any longer—to go :mil
get his books and hat, and leavit. Poor
Daniel's heart sank down in his shoe*.
He had studied hard, bearing patiently the
ridicule of his mates, and now to be turn
ed off in disgrace was attire than he could
stagger under. The teacher waited a mo
ment to watch the astonishment of the
school, and then added, •this is no place
for you : go to the higher departotent.'—
That Was probably the proudest hour in
Webster's life. He hae• Oh:molted
over his companinna..and that by outstrip-
Ting them in his 8111111014."
