Beside, the severing tie; To woo in vain the shadoivs back, That dim thelOVlng eye. But sadder far to see the blight Of undeparted bloom; That left no track,froaday to night, From_spriMi-time to the tomb. „„. Anus totms gentle trio came • The angel of the grave; Quenched with a look the vital flame, And chilled the purple wave; And drinkingquickth& precious breath, He left his tatk. abroad, To bear th'.unfading wreath of Death, . • And precious gems to Gciti. This is the balm ofbleeding love, In life's'dear purpose cross'd, The shrouded here, are winged above,— The loved, but not the lost ! The smile of Heaven, had early won, Each heart from earth away ; And death was but the sudden dawn Of everlasting day. Thou,Ellen, in thy childhood bright Th way but little trod, • Had'st turned from earth's delusive light, _ To yield thy heart to God. An opening flower, that caught the hue Of Heaven's refulgent dyes, And dripping with the morning dew, Was gathered to the skies. 'Twere sweet to have thee bloom in time • But sweeter far to thee, To pour thy fragrance in the clime, • Of immortality. Where blossoms close not for the night,. Nor dread the storm to come, The noon-day heat, and evening blight, Are far beneath thy home. This tale o'er many a soul will hang, In shadows fora day; But there are hearts from which the rang, • Will piss no more away— Hearts, that in after years will 'beat, • tv'n as to-night in pain, And hear in dreams the coming feet, That ne'er shall come again. Gad: help the mother in her grief, The father in his wo I The Hand alone can give relief, That measured out the blow. Thy blessing on each lonely hearth ; And grant the spirits riven, That loved and severed here on earth, May meet and love in Heaven! Celgre Co., Pa. H. J. M THE MODERN WIFE. HT MRI 3. E. VELLMONT. "You're a pretty girl to be married," said an aged aunt to her niece; "why, whet do you know about house-keeping, just from a boarding school. I'm sure your husband has need of a mint of mo neg." "La, aant,. I expect to board ; you need not.think I shall bother myself with do mestic . concerns. Every body boards now that gets married gcntcely—the first year at least." "What shall you pay a week fur ,40. kind o'livin'.?" inquired the aunt. "Mr. Hodge says he can get first rate accommodations for fifteen dollars; two rooms beautifully situated, and I am sure that is cheap enough." "What in Hodge's salary ?" "Why, six hundred, aunt, now, and the Premise of promotion—perhaps eight hun- ' dred before the year is out." "So you are going to live on thoperhaps, are -ou? Now let me tell you. Belinda, you talk foolishly; if your husband is at present receiving five hundred, do you lay by one of theirs--it's all nonsense to go be yond your mer-ns." "Why, aunt, no body would respect us if we • did.not live as stylish as other peo ple—there is a great deal in beginning." . "True, child ; that is what I want to im press upon you," The year poised away. Belinda lived in style, paid her. fifteen dollars, for board, received her "genteel" acquaintances, • worked some fabourets, drew a few sketch es from old paintings, grew tired of boar ding, and was just entering upon fashion able house-keeping, when lo a defalca tion came out I Hodge had taken money unlawfully, was arrested, held to bail, and .a prison stared him in the face! Belinda' did not believe him guilty; they had til. Faye lived "economically," and it could Not be. . But the trial proved otherwise, and he Was convicted, and sentenced to imprisonment." "How came you,_ Hodge, to do so?" in quired. the same old aunt. "To please my wife's fancy," was the - reply. , , "She wanted to live like other peo • ple; and I wished to gratify her, and in this way I committed my first breach of trust". • ha.brOken.hearted wife lamented the 'og she had made, wkr,n, t was too fy it • ,She'fr i * -- traw• • • t _ ‘dives cloth," is an old, maxim; btlethe sentiment is true now as over.

ROCKS OF LAKE SUPERIOR tilr L.V.Wis CASS Upon — the southern coast of Lake Su perior, about 50 miles from the falls of St. Marv, are inutenso .precipitous called by the voyageur le Fotrail, the Pic tured Rocks.. This name has been given them in consequence of the different ap pearances which they present to the trav eller, as he passes their base in his canoe. It requires little aid from the imagination to discern in them the castellated tower and lofty dome, and every sublime, gro tesque, or fantastic shape, which the gen ius of architecture ever invented. These cliffs are an unbroken muss of rocks, ris ing to the elevation of 300 feet above the level of the lake, and stretching along the coast for fifteen miles. The voyageurs never pasa This roast except in the most profound calm ; and the Indians, before they make the attempt, ()Mr their accustomed oblation, to..propi tiate the favor of their Monitas. 1111 eye instinctly searches along the eternal rat* part, for a single place of security ; bUi the search is vain. With an impassable barrier of rocks on one side, and nn inter minable expanse of water on the other, a sudden storm upon the Lake would as in evitably insure destruction of the passen ger in his frail canoe, as if •he were on the brink of the cataract of Niagara. The rock itself is a sand-stone, which is disintegrated by the continual action of the water with comparative facility. There are no broken masses upon which the eye !can rest and find relief. The lake is so deep, that these masses, us they are torn from the precipice, arc concealed beneath its waters until they are reduced to sand. The action of the waves has removed ev ery projecting point. When we passed this immense fabric of nature, the wind was still and the lake was calm. But even_the slightest motion of the waves, which in the most profound calm agitates these, eternal seas, swept through the deep caverns with the noise of the distant thunder, and died away upon the ear, as it rolled forward in the dark recesses inaccessible to human observa tion. No sound more melancholy or pore , awful ever vibrated upon human naves, It has left an_ impression which neithd time nor distance can ever efface. Resting in a frail bark canoe; upon the limpid waters of the lake, we seemed al most suspended in the air, so pellucid is the element upon which we floated. In gazing upon the towering battlements which impended over us, and from which the smallest fragments would have des , troyed us, we felt, and felt intensely our own insignificance. No situation can be imagined Moro appalling to the courage, or more humbling to the pride of man.— We appeared like a small speck upon the broad face of creation. Our wliale party, Indians, voyageurs, soldiers, officers and servants, contempla ted in mute astonishment the awful display of creative power, at whose base we hung ; I and no sound broke upon the ear to inter rupt the careless roaring of the waters.— No cathedral, no temple built with human hands, no pomp of worship could ever im press the spectator with such humility, and so strong a conviction of the immense distance between him.and the Almighty Architect.
