SQUANDERED LIVES.
The fisherman wades the sur-cs ;
The sailor sails over the so. ;
The soldier steps bravely to battle :
The woodman lays axe to the tree.
They are each of the breed of the heroes,
The manhood attempted in strife ;
Strong hands that go lightly to labor,
True hearts that take comfort in life.
Id each is the seed to replenish
The world with the vigor it needs
The centre of bone.u affections
The impulse to generous deeds.
But the shark drinks the blood of the fisher,
The sailor is dropped in the sea ;
The soldier lies cold by the cannon ;
The noodinaa is crushed by his tree.
Each prodigal life that is.wasted
In manly achievements unseen,
But strengthens the days of the coward,
And strengthens the crafty asi mean.
The blood of the noblest if lavished
That the stilish a profit may find,
But God bees the lives that are squandered,
And we to His wisdom are blind.

"Xo, Chark-.s, it cannot be. As a friend
I shall respect and estecui you ; but I can

31 ary Granville stool before me as she
thus sjKke, with her hands clapped and her
head lotted, trembling like an aspen, and I
fancied there were tears in hor ej'es. She
was a beautiful girl, aud 1 had thought her
as good and pure as he wa-s beautiiul; and
further than this 1 had believed that the
loved nie.
She was an orphan, and ha I been engaged
daring the past year in teaching one of our
Village cch.jols. Other early life I kuew
nothing, save that she had been weii educa
ted and had moved in good society ; aud I
had reason to believe that'at some time, her
parents had been wealthy; but her lUther
had lulled ru business, and it had been told
to me that the sad rev:M Lil!..l 1,;., i
ca.1Ki.0wn t.lat Mury was poor that he
was dependant ujon her daily -labor for sup
port and the thought that I could offer her
a comfortable hoine, with the advantage of
Kjoderate wc-a!i.h, hui given increase to mv
prospective happiness. But this unexpected
aiisvr dashed a!! uiv briirht honrs r,- th
ground.
jo you mean, ;i tne.l.veliemeutly'that
you thus dismiss me? Am I ca.t oil'?"
"I cannot be your wife," was the reply.
'i'hen,"fcaid I, with more warmth than I
might have betrayed an iei other circumstan
ces, "i leave you t3otire!f.and while I strive
to shake on the love that has bound me to
JJU, I "ill only hope that ere you k- id an
other into your net you will conclude before
hand whether you will keep him."
She looked up into my face with a pain
lul, IrighteneJ gLtice, but I did not stop to
hear her speak further. I turned and kit the
huu.se.
I rem arked that under other eircunisiri-
c-cs I tnignt have been more cool and col
lected in uiy speech; and what do you sup
pose dear readers, the attending" circum
stances were? I'll tell you candidly.
I was a little heated with wine. I had
drank just enough to warm my blood an 1
give my brain an extra impulse, and my

sought to persuade myself that I had fortu
nately escaped the snara of a coquette, and
that I might be the better enabled thus to
reason, I stopped at the hotel, where found
a few of my companions, and helped to dis
pose of hail a dozen bottles of wine.
On the following morning I awoke with a
headache, and when I called to mind the
events of the proceeding evening I was any
thing but happy. 1 began to realize how
much I had loved Mary Granville. There
waj an aching void in mv heart, and I f;n'rlv
went as I contemplated mv lo.-s. It w.wmv
first love and its influence had nenetratfil
every fiber of my being. The beautiful girl
had become more dei r to me than I could
tell, and I groaned in bitter anguisji when I
tnouKht that she was lost forovpr. T h .

very angry an:

Ou the following Sabbath I attemk-d
Church, where I saw Mary otice more. She
played the organ as she had done for the
past year, and as her fingers swept over the
keys, I fancied. that I could detect a treniu
lousness which I had never noticed before.
Was it only immagiaation, or was it rerdly a
Elaintive a sadness in the expression of
er music ?
To me it seemed at times as thoueh the
organ moaned and wept. It was like the
wailing of the daughters of Zion by the riv
ers of Babylon.
When the services were over and we went
out from the church I saw Mary's face. It
was pale and wan as though she had been
sick. What could it be? Was she suffer
ing as I had suffered? The thought flashed
upon me that some one might have told her
something to mv disadvantage. I had ene
mies in the village enemies who envied
me because I bad inherited some wealth
and I fancied ememies who envied me the
love of Mary Granville.
Another week passed and I became more
sad and lonesome. My 'business was irk
some to me, and my books and papers af
forded me no respite. In fact I could not
read, for my mind was never on the page
before me. Another Sabbath at church and
I saw Marv asain. She was naler than be

Do you know her?"
1 turned away my face and pretended to
uae uearuomjtriing at the v indow.
'I have seen her," I replied, when I had
composed myself. "She plays the organ in
the church."
-'She and I were school mates," pursued
btanton, "and speaking of wine bring!-, her
to my mind. Do you know anything of her
early life??"
"Nothing," I answered. -
1'oor .Uary I i never think 01 her with

school children together her father was tha

".Mr. Granville was in the habit of drink
ing winj. and the habit grew upon him
until he felt he could cot live without his
brandy.
"lie was of a social disposition, and in
time it came to pass that he was often gross
ly intoxicated. Of course under Euc-h cir
cumstances one of two things nm-a happeu
the man mu.-t refonn or he must sink.
3Ir. Granville did not reform, and ere many
years no died a drunkard's death, leaving
his family in poverty aud .suffering.
"Thomas, tho son, was iUur years older
than 'Iary, became dissipated, and at the
age" of eighteen was killed in a street fight
in New i'ork. Mis. Granville survived her
son but a few months absolutely dying the
doctor said, with a broken heart.

oa rnaay uacic Stanton lcrt me, and on
Saturday evening called at Marv's board
ing house. Mary herself answered my sum
mons, sne startled when she saw me,and 1
saw her right hand move quickly toward
her heart.
"Mary," said I speaking calmly, for I had
a mighty strength of will to support me, "I
have not come to distress yn, I have come
as a friend, and I humbly a- k thai von will
give 11 .v a audience fvr a iewvii.tii-i:t."
She woat into the paiii.r, an 1 i i'ilowed
h.:r, ;.!v..-,lrig the door behind n.e ; and when
we were alone she set the lamp v. pi n the ta
ble and motioned me to a seat.
"2i'o," said I, "1 will not sit down yet.
Give me j our hand, Mary."
M jchanically he put forth her hands and
I took them in my own. There was a won
dering look in her eyes, and a slight flush
liad come to her pate cheeks.
"Marv," I continued sr,eakineslowlv and
softly.and I knew that a moisture was rath-
enng m , my eyes, you must answer one
question. Answer it as you please, and
take my solumn assurance I ask it only
for your own good. Tell me, do you love
me ?. No, nodo not take your hands away
yet. Answer me it you can. i ear not O,
fear not ; for I had rather eo into ! endless
night than do you wrong. Tell m6 Mary,
do you love me ?"
"I cannot speak falsely," she tremblingly
whispered. "For my own peace, perhaps!
love you too well. "
"Listen to me one moment," I added,
drawing her nearer to me ; "when I have
told you what 1 have to tell, you shall be
the judge." ,
She did not strive to free her hands, but
looked up eagerly into my face, and her eyes
beamed with a hopeful light.
"Vou know John Stanton?" I said.
"Yes," she replied, ; '
"He was my best friend when we were at
College, and my friendship has not grown

token thereof, and 1 will come and ask you

I let go her hands, and Lowed my head
iu wipe away a tear, l turned towards the
door really intending to depart and give
her time for reflection, when she pronounced
my name. IJooked back and her hands were
streatched out toward me.

"Mow! now?" she uttered, as' I wound
my arms about her. "Oh, Charles, I never

and let me help you to keep it !"
I cannot tell how long I stopps.J that eve
ning. I can only tell that I was very hap
py, and that uiy prosooet of the comingyear
was bright and glorious.
On the following day a Sabbath, calm
and pleasant the organ gtive forth . a new
strain. The daughters of Zioa were no
longer in a strange laud. They had taken
their harps down from the willows, and
within the chambers of the new Temple,
moie re.-p!' ndent far than the old, they sang
the solids that aforetime made joyous the
c: ty cf their G od. AH marked tlo grandeur
of the du'oic that sprang into life beneath the
touch of the ilir organist
on that beautiful
Suhhatn morning, and ail seemed moved bv
the inspiration. To mo it was like the holy
outpouring of a redeemed soul, and with
bowed Lead and folded haniis I gave myself
up to the sublime influence. As Mary turned
from the in.- lruinent I caught her eye. Mine
were dim with moisture, but hers were
bridit gleaming with seraphic light.
Kre many weeks had passed, an ther hand
pressed the keys of the organ for Mary was
not iu the choir. She knelt before the altar
by my side and over U3 both the aged
clergyman stretched his hands with prayer
find blessing. ".
And we went out from the church togeth
er, .Mary and 1 out in the new life bound
heart to heartland hand to hand, to love,
lienor and cherish f'orevermore.
The
Frczeii Well.
One of the ino.-.t remarkable facts known
in this country is the existence of u well in
iirandon. liuthland Couniy, Vermont, in
which ice is found the 'ear round. The
wnter visited it in the summer cf lfcCO and
learned that in digging for a farm well in
the f..ll of ! 80S, before col l weather com
menced, frost was foutid in the ground about
twenty i'eet below the surface,aiid the ground
was frozen to the depth of forty feet, "where
watL-r was found in .suhicient supply. The
well was stoned or walled up in the usual
way, and the frost inanife. ted itself imme
diately on the btoues from the surface cf the
water about twenty feet upward. Very soon
it was seen that a well of ice was formed,
adhering to the stone wall all around, and
from the surface of the water to the bottom
or tue wen, several inches thick and 1 his
has remained frozen ever biuce, summer aud
winter. In the coldest part of the winter
the water ireczes over the whole surface, an
frequently so hard that it is necessary for
tome one to go down and break it to pro
cure water, i he last winter almost the en
tire water in the Well froze solid, and remain
ed so some time.
The writer has visited this well three dif
erent summers : the last time but three or
four weeks since, and each time saw the ice
(which is nlainlv seen bv casting the sun
light down the well by a mirror. ) aud 1 was
well informed cf all the facts by the lamily
residing on the same premises, and by friends
m the vic-unty. I he only deviatiou iron:
the facts as stated is, that sometimes, about
the nrst r September, tne ice has disappear
ed, but tor a few weeks only
. It has been found by digging several rod3
Irni it that the same frozen condition of
tne ground exists at about the same depth."
But none have yet given any satisfactory so
lution of the phenomenon.
In this same town, and within a few miles
ot the pleasant village of lirandon, are quar-
ries 01 tne purest wnite marDie, iron ore,
kaolin or porcelain clay, and large quanti
ties of ochre of various shades of color,' all
of which are worked and sent to market, and
coal of a peculiar kind, not in large quanti
ty, or chocolate color, solid but in it are
found embedded the remains of nuts of a
kind not known, and the form of limbs and
branches converted into coah . .
Sisterly Affection. At a "protracted
meeting," held not a thousand miles from
Lallston Spa, an ancient sister arose aud re
lieved herself a3 follows; "I see young la
dies here who seem to love gewgaws, furbe
lows, ribbons and laces more than they do
their Creator. I was that way one time my
self, but I found that the useless trinkets
were dragging me down to perdition, and so
I took them off and gave them to my sister!"

. BAD rilGI THE SOUTH.
The Chattanooga t7cire(Tennessee)of the
3d instant, gives the following most unwel
come account of the state of public opinion
aud the course of action based thereon in
the adjacent seetiou of Alabama:
One of the reasons why these are being
so much denounced at the North, and one
of the main elements creating a fctrons party
at the North to keep their representatives
out of Congress is that they do not by their
acts give any signs of loyalty to the Union,
and they have never proriered any of those
proofs of a sincere repentance for their past
transgressions, and of a determination'to do
better in the future, which are expected of
them. Not a day passes but we hear some
thing which shows that the animus still re
mains. Only last week a case occured in
North Alabama, which deserves more than
a passimg notice. For the main items in
this case we are indebted to The Jackson
County Xew, and in a personal conversa
tion with the editor of that papm, we learn
still further about the impudent rebellious
character of the instigators of the affair.
The Sheriff" of Jackson" County, a man
named Snodgrass. issued a call for a special
meeting to be held at Seottsborouh, which
is not the county town, and on a day other
man a court day. n Leu this original court
convened, it was found that the Sheriff had
in charge fifteen discharged Union soldiers
01 tue jjirst Alabama Cavalry, arrc.-teu and
the nne of their duty. This elf-constituted
court remained in sessiou 15 days, when

The want of females haviug long been felt
in Washington Territory, Mr. A. S. Mer
cer, a resident of that remote region, con
ceived the novel idea of colonizing them
from the Eastern States, and finally was ap-1
pointed emigrant agent, under an act of the
lerritorial Legislature. When the project
was first mentioned people laughted at the
idea of taking a cargo of women from our
densely populated States to the. womanlesa
cdens of the great North-west, But ' it ,;
seems Mi. Mercer went to work with a will,
and has actually succeeded in getting the
National Government to furnish him a ves
sel to carry his precious freight to their des- '
tmatiou. Between 700 and DOO young wo
men have agreed to emigrate. About two
thirds are from Massachusetts, and the re
mainder from other eastern ; States, New !

The reporter of the New York TW -who

two or three daughters, saj-s : ' . ..
There are a large number of soldiers' wid
ows, who by the war have lost their lawful
protectors, young ladies who have no charms
or chance at home, or who, through a love
of romance and travel, have resolved to seek
the new Eldorado of promise. ?Tha indnv..
ineiits are certainly great for these 'oung
ladies, many of whom, ere sprint, will reign -in
and rule over the household of men whom
they know not to-day. Expectant heart",
beaming eyes, and out-stretched arms await
tlicm at the cud of their journey of twenty
thousand miles. They will come fresh, rud
dy and browned after their life upon the
ocean. Already scores have arrived in the
city, aai anxiously await the day of sailing
and look forward to their arrival in their fu
ture home with more than ordinary interest,
Wliat a load of precious freight will the
Continental carry. Just think' of what a

acres of crinoline, miles of bonnetrrib

shoes, piles of trunks ; of the Mauys, the
Jaxes. the Claras, Maggies, Essies, Jc-
Llt,s, sweet iitue ones, ugly old oues, passa
bly good ones, a quaint, queer, curious quo-.'.
tation from the human market.
Three months, one quarter of a year, these '
gentle ones are to be together. Won't they
know all about each other before that time;
recount ail their love stories, tell all their
afflictions, exhibit ; ' all their cart-de-visites,
rins- and other mementoes of affection, and
peiiiaps of blighted love. Wonder how lie
will JooL whom they have not, but expect
to see and then wed.
Won't there be some tall tea-parties there?
