DO TITEY MISS ME AT ITOME.
Do they miss me at home do they miss me ?
- Twould be an assurance most dear, .
To know that this moment some loved ones,
Were caring, "I wish ha were here?" -To
feel that the group at the fireside, .
Were thinking of me as I room ; . .
O yes, 'twould be joy beyond measure,
1 To know that they miss me at home.
When twilight approaches Uio season,
That ever is sacred to song -Does
soui one repeat my nam over,
And .igh that I tarry so long ?
And is diera no chord in the music,
That' niissad when my voice is away ?
And a chord in each heart that awaketh
. . Regret at my wearisome slay.
Do they set mo a chair et the table ?
When evenings home pleasures axe nigh :
When the candies are lit iu the parlor,
And the st;vrs in the calm azure sky ?
And when the "gopd nights" are repeated,
And all lay them down to their sleep,
Do they think of ' the absent" and waft me
A whimpered "good night' while they weep?
l)o they miss mo at home do they miss me,
At morning, at noon, and at night?
And lingers one gloomy shade 'round them,
That only my presence can light ?
Axe joys less invitingly welcome,
And pleasure less hale than ttefore,
Because one is missed from the circle ;
Because I am with them no more?'
Do they miss thee at home? yes! we miss thee,
Since the hour we bade thee adieu;
And prayers have encircled thy pathway,
From anxious hearts loving and true;
That the Savionr would guide and protect thee,
As far from the loved ones you foain.
And whisper whene'er thou art saddened,
They miss tlies they miss thee at home.
The shadows of evening are falling
O, where is the wanderer now?
The breeio that floats lightly around ns
Perhaps may soon visit his brow
O, bear on thy bosom a message :
"We are watching O why wilt thou roam?
The heart has grown cold and dejected,
For we miss thee we miss thee at home."
TIIE SEEK.
BY JOIW G. WHITT1EE.
I hear the far-off voyager's horn, "
I hear the Yankee's trail,
.. His foot on every mountain pass,
On every stream Lis sail.
lie's whistling 'round St Mary's Falls
Upon his loaded train,
lie's IeaviDg on the Pictured Hooks
llis fresh tobacco stain.
I hear the mattock in the mines,
The axe-stroke in the dell,
The claimr in the Indian lodge,
The Jesuit's chapel-Lcll.
I see the swarthy trappers come
From Mississippi's springs,
And war-chiefs with their painted bows
And crests of eaglo wings.
Behind the squaw's birchen canoe
The steamer moves and rave3,
And city lots are staked for sale
Abovo old Indian graves.
By forest lake and water fall
I see the pedlar's show.
The mighty mingling with the mean,
Ihc lufty with the low.
I har the tread of pioneers
Of aatioL3 yet to be.
The first low wash of waves where soon
fchall roll a human bc.
The rudiments of empire here
Are plastic yet, and warm ;
Thj chaos of a mighty world
Is sounding into form.
Bach rude and jostling fragment soon
Its fitting place shall find
The raw material of a State,
" Its muscles and its mind.
And, westering still, the star which leads
The now worid in its train. -
Idas tipped nith fire the icy rp?r
Of many a inoactain chain !
The snowy cones of Oregon
Ara kindled on its way,
And California's golden sands
Gleam brighter in its ray.
"ONLY WAITING."
Avery aged man in an almshouse waea.kei what
he was doing now ? ilo replied, "only waiting!"
- Only waiting till the shadows
Are a little longer grown, ,
Only wailing till the glimmer
Of the day's last beam is flown;
Till the night of earth is faded
From the heart once full of day ;
Till the stars of heaven are breaking
Through the twilight soft end grey.
Only waiting till the reapers
Have the last sheaf gathered home,
For the summer time is faded,
And the autumn Tindi have come,
Quickly, reapers!. gather quickly
The last ripe hours of my heart,
For the bloom of life is withered,
And I hasten to depart.
Only waiting till the angels
" Open wide the mystic gate,
At whose feet I long have lingered.
Weary, poor, and desolate.
Even now I hear the footsteps.
And their voices far away ;
If they call me I am waiting,
Oniy waiting to obey.
Only waiting till the shadows
'' - Are a little longer grown,
Or!y waiting till the glimmer
Of the day's last beam is flown.
Then from out the gather'd darkness,
Holy, deathless stars shall rise,
By whoso light my soul shall gladly
Thread its pathway to tho skies.
POEM.
: "Let me die tho death of the righteous, and let
my latter end be like his."
Thou who thus wishest, in life's early morning.
While joy's bright clusters! a thy path aro strowc,
Give earnest heed to each celestial warning,
That potr.ts thy footsteps to the heavenly throne.
The Holy Spirit, by its admonitions. ." . v
Reveals full oft to man the Sovereign will,
Engraving on his heart the sure conditions
By which God's rigtcous law he may fulfil.
Blest condescension a.k, it shall be given,
Seek, and the treasure thou shrill snrely find, .
Knock, and the portals of indulgent Heaven
Shall open to thy truth-illuniiued mind.
But how escape the hour of dread temptation !
How keep my soul unppotted from the world!
The fiery trial, the severe probation,
When pleasure's banners all Fhall be unfurled.
Oh ! east away these gloomy, dark presages,
Thy source of help, thy mighty Saviour near,
Thy soul, if anchored on the Rock of Ages,
Need dread no trial, no tempts' 'on fear.
Thus, if thou ykldest to these visitations,
All earthly joys shaii poor and tasUess seem.
Earth s scenes may change, yet still shall time's mu
- P&Ei by thee as the fabric of a dream. tatiocs
And, in life's desert, many a bright oasis
Shall give the presage of those pasture's green.
Where bliss is founded on a changlcss basis,
And life's eternal water's cheer the scene.
Then bow is spirit to these admonitions, -'And
ask for aid and coucssl from on high,

SALLY KAGTS,
TEE WOMA WOT KXOWS BOW TO MAS AGS THE ITS.
"Well, here I be; wake snakes, the day's a
break in; now I'ae set my eyes on a good ma
ny strange things in my day, but this gettin'
married business beats everything I ever did
see. It goes ahead of Sam Fling, when he want
ed to buy one of my cheeses to make a grind-
stun. When I had ahusband Devil's whiskers
if he only said beans to me, I made him
jump round like a stumptail cow in fly time.
"But there's Mrs. Fletcher, she's three parts
a natural born fool, and t'other part is as soft
as biled cabage. A woman that don't stand up
for her rights is a disgrace to my sect. ITow
any man should ever want to marry such a
molasses candy critter as she is, is one of the
secrets of human - Datur. And as to hand
some handsome never stood in her shoes
For she looks as if she'd break in two if she
tried to lift a pot of potatoes. I suppose her
fingers were made to play the pianny.
"Xow, it's my notion, when a woman gives
a man her hand, it ought to be big enough to
hold her heart at the same time. Such a hand
as mine is worth giving, for I can stop a bung-
hole Tfith my thumb, and I've done it too.
"I went into Fetcher's this morning, and
true as I, am a virtuous woman, he was busing
on her like a dog for lending his receipt book
to Miss Brown, who's fond of reading. I spose
he didn't keer for the receipts that was writ
ten in the book, but it was the receipts that
wasn't theie, and ought to be, that stuck into
his crop. And Mrs. Fletcher hung down her
head, and looked for all the world like a duck
in a thunder-storm. I just put my arms agin
my sides, looked her man right in the eye till
he looked as white as a corpse. It's always a
way everybody's got when I fixes my eye oh
'cm. And the way my looks white-washed
his brazen, face, was better than slacked lime.
There says I to Mrs. Fletcher, says I your
husband had ought to had me for a wife.
When my man was alive, he'd no more thiuk
of saying nothing imperdent to me, than he'd
take the black sow by the tail when she's nur
sin her pigs ; and you must larn to stick up
to your man jest like a new hair-brush.
"I never found any debility in managing
these critters, for I always teached 'cm what's
sarce for the goosa is sarce for the gander.
There's no two ways with me ; I'm all of size,
stub-twisted; and made of hore-shoe nails.
I'm chock full of grit, and a rough post for any
one to rub their backs again; any gal like roe,
what can take a bag of meal on her shoulder
and tote it to mill, ought to be able to shake
3ny man of my heft. Some thinks I ought to
get ma-ried, and two or three has tried to spark
it with me, but I never listens to none of their
flattery. Though there was Blarney Bob
came flatterfyin' me like a tub of new butter.
For I've no notion of being trammelled up in
their halters of hymens. I likes my liberty,
and wants no halters or bridles put upon me.
Sam Mooney was shinin' up to me too; and
then there's Jim Sweetbread, the butcher; but
he didn't find me half enough for his market.
It isn't everything that sticks its leg thro' broad
cloth that's going to carry otf a gal of my spirit.
My charms ain't to be had for the bare axing.
"Gettin' married is a serious thing, as I toll
ed my old man when I was wallopin him with
a leg of mutton, because he took my thoe
brush to clean his teeth with. Wherever
there is a noso, thero Is a mouth not far off,
and that proves that natur has given woman
her rights as well as man."
DOUBTFUL THEOLOGY.
A friend, whom we call Pat, for short,' tells
a good one upon himself. When but an idle
boy, he was called upon one day in a country
school, and the question suddehly propounded
to him. by the pedagogue "Patrick, how
many gods are there J"
Pat was not a distinguished theologian then,
and years have made hirn 'no better very fast,'
in such matters, but he promptly responded
three sir.' .
Take your seat,' thundered the master,' and
if, in five minutes,you don't answer correctly,
I'll welt you.'
The probationary period passed, and Pat,
taking the floor, hesitatingly stated tho num
ber of gods at "fi-five, sir." lie received the
promised "welting," and a remand to his seat
for ten minutes further consideration.
Ten minutes up, and Pat was up too; and
satisfied that he hadn't fixed the number suf
ficiently high before, he shouted "there's ten
sir." He saw the ferule descending, and bolt
ing out of the door, cleared a lived railed fence,
and broke like a quartcr-horsc across tho
fields. Panting with exertion, he met a lad
with a book under his arm, and with the look
of one who decried the pursuit of knowledge
under difficulties.
"Where are you going ?" said Pat.
"To school yonder," was the reply.
"Yon are aro you 1" said Pat, quickly,
"how many gods are thero !"
"Two," answered the boy.
"Well, you'd better godown there. You'll
have a good time with your two gods. I just
left with ten, and that warn't enough to save
me from the darn'dest lickin' you ever heard
of."
7 A short time ago, two of tho most dis
tinguished millionaires, in a flourishing South
ern city met in social chat, and discussed their
mutual merits. In the course of the conflab,
the Judge bantered the Colonel, and offered to
bet live dollars the latter could not say the
Lord's prayer. The Colonel accepted the bet,
and,putting himself into a solemn attitude, be
gan to repeat, keeping time by the swaying of
his body, and pronouncing with emphatic force
alternate on each syllable, these lines :
"Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep, .
If I shonld die "
"Stop, stop !" cried the Judge, interrupting
him, "that .will do, I give it up, here' th V.,
but I did not think you could mj it."

Tho aim of the editor will be to produco a pub- -lication
which sholl be valuable, iu matter, and
choice in taste and style; and he flatters himself
from the known talents of his contributors, that he
will be able to present aa many good original ar- '
tides to his readers as any publicatjon of tho day.

most fini-a tho artist can give them ; for common
wood-cuts arc so easily multiplied, that the most
indifferent publication may outrank in drearv dis
play the choicest periodical. "
The Editor docs not feel, that with hi3 own ren
ders, ho can increase his claims tu respect by in
sisting ou any very great superiority of 'Graham'
over several similar publications, but thinks h
may safely confide in their friendship for the
Magazine, and in its past management for its pre
sent list, and such increase as naturally grows out
of an extended circulation in a country where
readers are multiplying su rapidly.
Of the January number the first odition will be -r.O.OOO

will be so prompt in renewing old clubs, and ex.
tending tho list among new ones, that the firtl
adition shall be but half os what the year will ul
