Oh, there is a power to make each hour
A sweet as Heaven designed it :
Nor need we roam to brinz it home,
Though few there be to find it !
W'e seek too hijil) for thine close by,
And loose what nature found us ;
For life hath here no friends so dear
A Home and Friends around us!
We oft destroy the present joy
For future hopes and praise them :
Whilst flowers as sweet bloom at our feet,
If we'd but stoop to raise them !
For things afar still sweeter are
When youth's bright spell hath bound us,
Tint soon we're taught that enrth has nought
Like Home and Friends mound us !
The friends that speed in time of need,
When hope's Inst reed is shaken,
To show us still, that, come what M ill,
We are not quite forsaken ;
Though all were night if but the light
From friendship's a'tur crowned us,
'Twould prove the bliss of earth was '.his
Our Home and Friends around us!

I do declare? I think it strange!
The men do not propose
They say tins times are very hard
I'm sure they are for beaux.
F.Hch day I've dreat and waited here,
In hopes the pents would call ;
It seems to tue almost a year,
Since they have come at all.
Tm always cheerful sometimes gay,
And dress with greatest care
The stupid men will not propose,
And here's my first gray hair!
Pa' says he's jrettin" tired out
Of purchasing Cologne,
And such a hopeless case as mine,
Ma' thinks was never known.
I wish I could the mystery solve
No calls! how late it grows
When I'm so very lady-like,
Why don't the men propose ?

TUB llfSDAMl WHO PLAYUD TIIK
UACHELOIti
A celebrated painter of Madrid, whose) real
name it would he more discreet not to disclose,
but whom 1 shall call Morales, had just comple
ted a superb picture for the convent of the Ke
curial. He had received a pretty Inrge etim fiir
his work ; and by the way of a little realxation
after the long continued toil, and c'ose atten
tion bestowed upon it, he had assembled around
a well-spread table in bin studio a few cl oice
spirits from among hie fellow artixts. It was a
bachelor's entertainment. Not a temnle was to
sit clown with them. The mittrc8 of the house
herself, Donna Caeilda, had been excluded.
Morales had sent her oft with the female atten
dant to pas the dny with one of her cousins.
Rut the good dame, having a little of the curi
osity of mother Eve in her composition, (as
which of her fair cJnttcliters tits not!) was very
anxious to know what was to take place in her
absence, and had n strong desire to find out what
?n many men cnnld have to talk about, when
there, was no women present Instead, there
fore of remaining at the house of l.er cousin, she
quickly relumed, bringing the latter with her ;
and presently Ihe twain were snugly ensconced
in a clo-iet rd joining the studio, where with eye
and earclosei;' applied to the key hole, they re
mained eagerly liftenin.T to all thnt passed.
'Rut tell us my friend,' said one of the guests,
'why are we deprived of the pleasure of Senora
Morales' company t ! wit, her pleasantry
and beauty, surely would not hnve diminished
the charm of this delightful meeting.'
Ther,' vi hispered the lndy fo her cousin,
'that is the first sensible speech I liavi; heard.'
Fye ! fye!' replied the husband pouring out
a bumper of old golden sherry, 'women koow
nothing of the poetry of life.'
'That is true,' added another; women are
mere matter-of-tact beings; common-place, es
sentially prosaic. What do they know about
the arts, or the enjoyment of artists f
'Fools!' exclaimed Casilda :
'Yes,' continued Morat'-e, 'take from women
love intrigues and household affairs, and they
absolutely don't know what to think to talk a
bout.' 'Impertinent fellow!' was the comment of the
listeners.
'Why,' added the painter, 'they cannot com
prehend one of those rich jokes or capi
tal pieces of humor, which the air of a studio
inspires. They have no conception of'them.
When a wmnan plays us a trick it is always at
the expenxe of our honor.'
'Wretch!' This word escaped the two cou
sins nt the same moment, and was uttered in a
loud tone, Dul the noise of the guests and the
rattling nf the glasses prevented its being heard.
'Ah! master Simple, and o you defy us to play
you a trick without touching your honor, do
you 1 Hy our lady of Atocha, I vow, though it
is now Shrove Tnewlay, that before Int iso
ver I will have my revenge.'
Casilda wt her wits to work, and you shall
hear what came of it. On the following Thurs
day she engaged Iter brother to procure from
the Place Cuheda, where they are accustomed
to sell fragments of old buildings, a door of the
same dimensions ai their own, which fronted on
the street. She charged him to get one nf on
antique pattern, covered with iron work and
heavy mouldings. This she had conveyed to
her house with all secrecy, and kept closely con
cealed until a favorable moment. She hod
communicated her design to her brother, and a
few female friends in the neighborhood, on
whose aid in carrying out her plot she relied.
On a certain evening, hen Morales had re
turned home at a late hour from a convent, where
he bad just completed the pointing of a chapel
which the timnks were to have open at Easter,
Can hi a received him with much warmth, and a
greater profusion of caresacs than utual. It was
very late when they retire! to rest, for Morales
uiui-t first have his supper. The night wau cold
and ttoriny. Toward midnight the dame be
gan tn utler deep groans, ip'.erUiinglcd with
piercing cries, aa if racked by grievous pain,
'duly Mother!' exclaii-red she, 'I am dying'!--my
pior huUnd, my lad hour is come s let
them bring a confessor, and quickly tor I'm go
ing fast.' She accompanied these "words with
grimaces and violent contortions which, women
when the humor takes them, so Well know how
to perform. Her tmsband in a Sondo'.mg tone,
impiired where she felt lire pain. 'Dleasel Vir
gin!' waa all the answer, 'get a con lessor!
the sacrament' I can bear it no longer, it ia
almost over with tnc5 At there criea the domes
tic, a yonng girl, hastened to the assistance of
her mt(itres, applied Warm napkins to her sto
mach, and made her swallow drafts of hot spiced
wine, and other aimiUr rented res. But the ma
lady yielded not. Indeed, that it did not was
no wonder, fn the present mood of the patient.
Poor Morales, though sorn against bis will, was
forced at length to quit his bed. 'Ah'.' cried hia
wife, in piteous tone, as he slowly threw on
his garments, 'it ia a cholic of a tnuel danger
ous nature.'
there is no appeal but to force, the vital principle
Pa. Saturday, Nov. 1, 143.
No my mistress,' said the sivant girl, 'I
know what it is that ails you ; it is that bad vi
negar that you mixed with the salad that causes
Ihe pain. You know it served you the same way
the last time you took it. Dame Custinoja then
cured you.'
The painter, on this, began to scold his wife,
because experience had not made her more
careful. Rut she only sobbed out in halfsufTo
csled words : 'At hrcho no try remulio' what
is done cannot be undone. For mercy's sake,
go for Mother Casttnoj. She knows my con
stitution ; she is the only one who can give me
relief Ironi the dreadful pains I suffer. For hea.
ven's sake bring her quickly, or there will be
nothing lefi you but to open my grtve.
'My little wife,' replied the husband, in a dis
mal tone, 'my dearest wife, Mother Castitioja,
yon know has removed to the other end of the
city, near the gate Foncarral, and we are in the
quarter Iivapie , the night is very cold, and if
the gutters do not deceive me, the Vain is pour
ing in torrents. Even slrmild I find mother
Castitioja, do you think she would come to see
you through this terrible st-nmi J I remember
the Inst timeynii had this complaint, she cured
yon with two minces of treacle boiled in the
rind of half nn orange. l,ct ntegoto the apo
thecary's sod get this fur you. Compnee your
self a little, and do not force rrre to take swh a
long journey, which 1 nm sure will benf no use,
and I shall only get a wore malady than yours.'
At this, Casilda Iregan again to pour forth
her most hitler tatni ntations. 'Cix! Heaven!
see what a husband Con hns given me ! To
hear him one would think I was demanding im
possibilities, that I wasafking him to la? buried
with mn ; that I was claiming the sacrifice of
his blood or of half his fortune! I only ask him
to go for a nurse, at the risk of welting his shoes
and he refuses. Rut I welt know what it is
you want; you wishtohea widower; you long
to live over again your bachelor l.fe. At every
cry that pain forces from me, your heart leaps
with joy. Ah! I'm dying! a priest ! the con
fersion ! I a m poisoned !'
Morales really believing that his wife was at
the point of death, and fearing if she died, that
the insinuations she had thrown out against him
might have serious consequences, r ndeavored
to soothe by a few caressees, and proceeded to
tight a candle, which the darkness nf the night
rendered it necessary. He then drew on n
pair of stout boots, threw a large cloak over his
shoulders, pulling the cape over his head, and
manfully pet forth on hia nocturnal expedition
in search of mother Castitioja. The painter
knew that the dame in quotum dwrlt some,
where in the rue Foncarril, but of the precise
location of her residence he was totally ignorant.
The rain fell in torrents, and he met not a soul
from th time he had left the roe Lava pie until
he reached the quarter to which hie steps were
directed. The nijlit was as dark as Egypt,
and Morales cursed from the bnttnm of his heart
the day on which tie married. It may readily
I imagined that in such a mood lie was not
likely soon to find the object of his search.
Rut while lie is groping along the streets,
snd getting soaked to kin, let ns return to the
sick lady. No sooner did ehe her husband
fairly off upon his expedition, than she sur,,n, fin
ed her brother, and a few chosen friends b(,
were lying hid in the cellar. p. a twinkling
they had the old street door off" its hinges, and
its place suppled by the. on bought for the oc
tasion, which fitted it aa f n had been made on

they are singing and dancing. And yet we
were living alone in the house. The door, it is
true, needed some repair, but I am certain it
was not changed when I left home. Resides,
I have never noticed a tavern in this street, and
surely it is not in my house they would estab
lish one. Am I dreaming! That cannot be.
My eyes arc wide open, and 1 hear plainly e
nough. The rain ia pelting furiously, yet this
illusion cannot he the effect of the little drop of
wine I look before FPtt ing out. He began to
make a closer examination, carefully passing
his hand over the door, but he could not find the
knocker in its accustomed placed Determining
to make himself heard, in hopes that as anon as
he had effected an entrance he would learn the
cause of tbp mysterious transformation, he be.
gan to thump at the door with blows loud e
nough to rmis the whole neighborhood. The
merrymakers within pretended not to hear him,
Hp knocked rtill more loudly. At length after
he had hepn left standing a Inngtimo under ihe
dripping of the roof, a man with his head cover
rd by an old hindkerchief, sr.d holding a light in
his hand opened the window above the door.
Halloa ! my pood man, what the devet do
you want at this time .. night! There is no
roTifn for you here. Go elsewhere to get a
lodpirg
Rut I wish to enter my own house.
My friend, it is not our cnMoni to open our
iVoors at this unusual hour,
Morbleu! hut I tell yon th;s is my hou?e, snd
my father Diego Morales paid a round sum for
it with his own denier.
Hark ye my fine fellow ; I know not If tbe
wine which dit-inrbe your noddle was Val de
IN quns or Logroquo but I'll be sworn it was
capital, and tin? waters from Ihe gutters will
not hurt you. So gn you w-ay; ceare knocking at
the door, or I will let loosv! a mastiff", whose
teeth will make a dozen button holea in your
hide in short order. Good night. Thus say
ing, he closint the window. Tire singing and
laughter were renewed within. And t lie poor
painter gave himself to all the devils fully per
suaded that some eorct rer was playing him this
cute trick.
Meanwhile the rain continued, and flakes nf
falling snow came thick upon the face of Mo
rales. The cannle in bis lantern had burnt
not; and hi patience had long since been com
pletely exhont-ted. He commenced knocking
anew; when presently he heard someone with
in Ihe house call nut : 'Halloa ! Antonio, tin
Iistfc the dogs ; bring a cudgel, and give the
shoulders of this dninken fellow a tiste -of ft;
it will relieve his muddy linin a little, At this

'Come Morales,' said hie friend, lapping htm on
Ihe shoulder 'confess that you have taken a drop
too much last night, and were afraid to return
home.'
On my honor as a man, and aa an artist,' re.
plied Morales, '1 have told you nothing but the
ruth.'
'Rut, my dear fellow, it is no such great crime
to be overcome by a cup of good wine.
Morales hpeded not the remark, but corn,
menced rapping smartly at the door, Bridget
the maid servant half dressed hastened to o
pen it.
Oh, Senor Morales,' cried she in tones nf
well feigned astonishment, 'how could you have
the heart to stay out all night in the city carou
sing with your friends ; and your poor wife ly.
ing here at death's door ! And to go off too
under the pretence of finding dame Castinajo !'
Fye upon you ! fye upon you !'
Fye upon you ! Senor Morales,' cried out in
chorus half a dozen shrill voices from the neigh
boring windows. 'You might be ashamed of
yourself, you croul man ; you have an angel for
a wife, and here you leave her in thia shameful
manner to die without assistance.'
Ay, indeed! and where have you been all
night ! In some filthy tavern, I dure say,
drinking with your good for nothing compan
ionsWhit an abominable thing is a Inn-bund
who plavs the bachelor ! If I had such an one,
I warrant Fd go to the magistrate and soon
have a divorce.
Rut it is with me that he has the account to
settle cried Casilda, who now come up, looking
pateand wan, after a night of dancing and dis
sipation. 'And so, you believe t was dead, and
you thought to come back and squander my
dower on your bachelor parties! But you did
not reckon on the good services of these kind
neighbors, by whose timely aid I have been res
tored to life.'
My dear little wife said Morales, soothingly.
'if you will listen to mt, you will find that t
am much more to be pitied than found fault
with.' And here the poor artist bf gan to relate
what had happened to him. Rut his story was
received with shouts of langbter.

Confess the truth, man. Yon have fallen in
wifh some of your scape grace companions,
with whom you have passed the night drinking

for your fault. "That will be mnehberter than
to stand here telling these silly stoTtr-s which
nobody will 'belie've.
Anrl in truth Morales bad to come o this af

humbly to sue for pardon, which wa only gram
