Of aoft unlir.iiili'd hair.
The nil thai' left if loveliness
Tint once w.ia thought so fair ;
And y ft, tlioua.li time hath ilimm'd its sheen,
Tli.nitli nil Ix-sidp hoth fled,
I hold it here, a link between
My spirit and the dead.
Yes, from this shining ringlet iill
A mournful memory springs.
That melts my heart, anil sends a thrill
Through ail it trembling airings,
t think of her, the loved, the wept,
I 'poll whose forehead fair,
For eighteen year?, 'ike punthinc, slept
This golden cuil of hair.
Oh stmuy tress! the jovous brow,
Where thou iliil.-t linhtly wave
With mII thy sister tresses, now
Lies cold within the grave.
That cheek is of its bloom bereft ;
That eve no more is gay ;
Of nil her beau tits thou nrl left,
A sylilury ray.
Four years have pn-si d, this very June,

Four years ! and yet it seems too soon
'I'll let the heart f.iigil
Too soon to let that lovely fare
From our s .d thoughts depart,
And to uiioihei give the pje

Her memory still within my mind

It is the perfume lell Uliiml,
To whispir of the ll iwei.
Kuch bios om, tint in moments gone
Bound up this sunny cutl,
liccidls the form, the look, the tone
Of that enchanting giil. ..
Her step was like an April rain
O'er beds of violets flung ;
Her voice the prelude to a strain,
liet'iite the song is sung:
Her life, 'twas like a hall blown ll.iwer,
Closed eic the shades of even ;
Her death the dawn, the blushing hour
That opes the gates of Heaven.
A single ties ! how slight a thing
To sway sui h magic art.
And bill each Mfi r-meml.ranee spring

It leads me bark to days of old
To her I loved so long,
Whose locks outshone pellucid gold,
Whose lips o'etllowed with sung.
Since then, I've heard a thousand lava
From lips as sweet as hers ;
Yet when I strove to give them praise,
I only gave them tears.
I could not heir, amid the throng
Where je-t and laughter lung,
To hear another sing the sung
That trembled on her tongue.
A single Miming tress of hair
To bill such memoiies start !
Hut, tears ate on its lust ure there
I lay it on my heart.
Oh ! when in Death's cold arms I sink,
Who then, with gentle care.

'Any tliiiier wortli Itcurinjf ? was the rcspon
ske question of Mr. Atkins; nntl lie laid down
the New 1 l.i in p.liiro Patriot, and peered over
hid spectacles, with a look wliieli seemed to
say, that an event so uncommon deserved
particular attention.
'Why, flic says Unit she means to go to
l.oivcll, and work in tlie factory.'
Well, wife, let her go,' and Mr. Atkins took
up the Patriot nain.
'Hut I do not see how I can spare her ; the
spring cleaning is nut done, nor thewjap made
nor the lioy's summer clothes; and yon say that
you intend to lxmrd your own men-folks, and
keep two more cows than you did last year,
nnil Charley can scarcely g0 alone. I do not
see how 1 can get along without her.'
'Hut you say the docs not assist you any a
bout the house.'
'Well, Intsbanil, tshe mlf-lit.'
'Yes, she might do a great many things which
she does nut think of doing, and as I do not see
that ehe means to he useful here, we will let
her go to the liictory.'
Father, are you in earnest! may I go to
Ijiwell !' said Abby, and she raised her bright
black eyes to her father's with a look lor ex
quisite delight.
'Yes, Ahhy, if you will promise tne one
thing mid that is, that you will stay a whole
your without visiting its, excepting in case of
sickness, mid that you w ill stay hut one year.'
'I will promise nny thing, father, if yon will
willy let iik? go, for I thought you would say I
had better stay at home, and pick rials, and weed
the oardeu, und drop corn, and rake hay, and I
do not want to do such work any longer. May
I go with the Slater girls next Tuesday ! for
that is the day they have set for their return.'
'Yes, Ahhy, if you will remember tliat you
arc to slay a year, and only one year.'
Ahhy retired to rest that night w ith a heart
fluttering with pleasure ; for ever since the
visit of the Slater girls, with new silk dresses,
and Navarlno lionnels trimmed with (lowers,
and lace oils. and gauze handkerchiefs, her
head had been filled with visions of fine clothes
and she thought if she could only go where she
i-oiild dress like them, she would lie completely
happy. She was naturally very fond of dresp,
and (don while a little girl, had she sat on the
bank of the road si Je, watching the stage w Inch
daily went by her father's retired dwelling
and w hen she saw the gay ribbons; and smart
shaw ls, which sassed like a bright phantom be
fore her wandering ryes, she had thought when
older she would have such things; and she
liMikcd forward to womanhood as to a state in
which the chief pleasure must consist in wear
ing fine clothes.
"But as years passed over l.er, she became a-
ware that this was a source J rum which she
could never derive any enjoyment, while she
remained at home, for Iter father was neither
able nor willing to gratify her in this respect,
und ske had begun to fear that the mutt ul
woys wear the same brown cambric Ixmnet and
the same calico gown would always be her
'go to-meeting-dress.' And now what a blight
picture has been tormed by her ardent and un-
cultivated imagination ! Yes, she would go
to I Aiwt'll and earn all that she xssihly could,
and send those earnings in beautiful attire.she
would have silk dresses, one of grass green, and
another of cherry red, and another upon the
colur she would decide when she purchased it,
und she would have a new Xuvarino bonnet,
tiir more beautiful than Judith Slater's: and
w hen at last she fell asleep, it was to dream of
SAlin und laces, and her glow ing fancy revelled
all night in a vast and beautiful collection ot
milliner's tiiH-ry.
Hut very dillerent were thedreums of Abby's
mother, and w hen she aw oke the next morning,
her fust Words to her husband were, Mr. At
kins, was you serious lust night whon you told
Abby that she might go to Ixiwell ! I thought
at first you were vexed because I interrupted
you, and said it to slop the conversation.
Yes, wite, I was serious, and you did not in
ternipt me, for 1 had been listening to ull that
you und Abby were saying. She is a wild
thoughtless girl, and 1 hardly know what to do
w ith her; but ierhaps it wili he as well to try
an experiment, and let her think and act for tier
self. I expect that she will spend 11 her cant'
iii"s in fine clothes, but after she has done so
he may see the folly ol it; and at all events,
sho will bo more likely to understand tlie vultie
of thtt World, and what is going on in it and I
hope that if she receive no benefit she will at
least return to tw uninjured.'

Tlie Mill Point Herald gives a sketch of
great interest relative to a lawyer of this city.
It is it column hng, and we must condense it.
It relates, that at a restaurant in this city, one
night was assembled a party of young Creoles,
at the invitation of one of their number who had
just taken out license to .practice Ihw in Louis
iana. The host after drinking much wine, got
boisterous, and looked round, anxious to find
somelsMly to insult. He at last discovered a
