Sprin;
Spring is waking, spring is breaking,
From her long and deep repose,
Like a maiden-be'uty is she,
As her tresses wild she throws
To the kissing
Breeze that greets them
With a rapture born of bliss.
Lovely spring, smiling fpringl
Nymph of winning form and grace,
Hither fling
Thy brightest glances,
Hither bring
What grace enhances :
Thy native wiles and lauf-hing smiles,
And cast thy ambient breath around us,
As though it were a sea that bound us,
Of that fabled nectar old,
With its virtues all untold.
When let them act, each as a charm,
To chase old winter's frowns away
To stir the earth with throbbings warm,
And sing thy praise through Nature's lay.
TWENTY YEARS' TRIAL
BY MARY A LOWELL.
"What on earth shall I do ?" asked a
young mechanic, as he came home one
evening in the height of the business
panic of ltfoT-S, which operated so disas-
trously upon all classes of society, and
which has only been equalled in the period
of twenty years.
It was a momentous question, and one
which Sarah Worcester, hoj eful and cheer
ful as she was, could not answer easily.
She had not impoverished him ; for there
was not a housewife in the country who
possessed in such perfection the art of
making a dollar go as far as tive would in
other families, and in makiug 'auld claiths
awmast as gude as new.'
Her husband's and children's wardrobes
tcstitieu to tins skill ctepnen aiways j
looking like a gentleman, and his little
ones neater and more tasteluliy dres?-ed I
than any in the school ; a l'enusylvunia
school, too, where there were Quaker chil
dren in plenty, to test her claims to neat
ness. With such a wife, it would seem that
no man could fail of getting on in the
world, especially if the belief of some per-
sons that a woman alva3's makes tr mars
her husband's lortune were true ; but in
this case, at leat, the proverb failed, and
Stephen Worcester was gradually going
down in the world, without a single bad
habit as it would seem, only with the pe
culiar ill-luck which some men invariably
find.
The season had failed in a remarkable
way to realize the hopes of the spring,
and Stephen's lands had been almost bar
ren. His cow died, his work-shop was
burned, and to add to his distress, the
children were attacked by an epidemic fe
ver, and his expenses were increased four
fold. Bills were staring him in the face
his cottage was mortgaged to its full
value ; and it did really seem thai Fate
was doing her worst against the success
of anything with which he had to do.
Meantime Sarah Worcester continued
hopeful, and almost cheerful, under these
accumulating trials. She had a calm,
sweet, happy temper, which stood in the
place of wealth, to its fortunate possessor,
and brightened up the desolate prospect
that to Stephen teemed growing darker
and gloomier.
'What on earth shall I do?" was his
sorrowful question to his wife, for the
hundredth time, as lie paced the. floor one
rainy afternoon, looking out occasionally
on the burnt ruins ot his once pretty
work-shop.
"Don't worry, Stephen," answered the
blithe voice of Sarah orcestcr, as sue
plied her needle as fast as ever, repairing
the rents in the children's almost worn
out clothes. "Don't worry. u c are very
Tioor, but so have thousands been before
US. liOtl IS not ucau, nor nua lie
us. We trusted him in our prosperity,
and it is a poor faith that will not bear a
little trouble. Look, Stephen ! you arc
well and strong, and so am I. Hie chil
dren have nearly recovered from the ef
fects of their fever, and we may never
araiu have such a poor season for your
work. I know that with a little practice
I can make a very tolerable dress maker,
and I mean to try it."
"Yes, and have everybody saying that
Stephen Worcester is maintained by his
wife. I would starve first."
"Nay, husband, you look at this affair
in a different light from what I or anyone
else will. If your work fails, why cannot
I try mine ? You can go to town for me,
and buy my materials, for I shall want
trimminirs. &c.. and I shall want you to

Stephen made no repl-. lie went out
into a dark narrow land, and walked back
wards aild forwards, meditating upon his
altered fortunes. One thing was certain,
he would never hear it said that his wife
was maintaining him. At the ame time be
did not doubt her ability to do what she
proposed, l'eihaps it" he Merc away, she
might be more successful.
"l'oor jrirl " he said almost aloud, "I
have made but a shabby husband for her
alter all. If I go and leave her, she may
prosper."
In the mood which he was cher'ehing,
it was easy for him to resolve upon leav
ing home, lie felt just cowaidly enough
to desert his wife and children, rather
than accept the proposal Saiaii had made
to him.
The time was come, he thought, in
which an entire change must be made
another state of things secured, or the
world should hear no more of Stephen
"Worcester.
lie uid not dare to go back to the house
again ; not even to look in at the window.
Sarah, sitting there with her youngest
child upon her knee, and Stcphy ami lit
tle Alice beside her, handing up their
poor garments for her to mend, was a
scene which lie knew would shake his
purpose ; and he walked rapidly away
from it, crushing down the bitterness of
his thoughts, and trying to feel that it
was better thus.
Yet often, as he paced along thro' the
rain-drops that weie still falling, he stop
ped irresolute, .is he saw through the whi
tlow of some cottage, the little group that
had gathered round the father jut re
turned Irom his work the clean supper-
j table spread for him, and all the home
sights t hat cluster so loudly around a
nun's heart.
Then what would Sarah think had be
come of him. lie almost shrieked out
when he fancied her alarm. She would
think, perhaps, that he had killed him
self. '1 hen he would hasten on again,
and try t" frget everything.
l'oor Sarah! NY hat a niuht she passed !
What a week of torture ! But when every
search had been made for the missing
man, and nothing could be heard of him,
her hopeful tenu.er suggested something
near the u tnal truth ; and after a while
she actually started the plan she had been
talking of in their last conversation, ami
advertised that she would commence dress
making at her own house.
Whether from pity to her widowed
state, or from seeing how neatly and even
clegai.tly fitted were her own plain dres
ses, woik soon poured in ujon her. Kvery
moment was occupied. She sat up late
and rose early to her labor ; and before
man- months had elapsed, she was obliged
to hire a girl to attend to the housework,
and had also three or four apprentice.
Her taste was so good that every one
deferred to it, and as she found that her
opinion was constantly asked respecting
the trimmings suitable for the dresses she
made, she concluded to keep a stetck on
hand, from which she realized a very pretty
income.
Soon little Alice could mind the shop
when she was out of school, and Stcphy
was invaluable as an errand boy. '1 he little
fellow seemed so anxious to elo everything
for his mother, that she sometimes feared
that she might allow' him to do too ninth.
-Sarah was the only one that could not
help her; but she was such a good, tpuiet,
amiable child, that if she was no help she
was no hindrance.
Such was iIrs. u orcestcr s success in
hcr new business, that the not only main-
taincd her family letter than belore but
she raised the mortgage from the house
and land, leaving it. lrec and unencum
bered. 1 here were few hours in which she was
! at liberty to sit down and wonder what
had become of her husband. She had an
innate consciousness that he was not dead.
Something seemed to say that he had only
left her for a time; -and that after years of
patient toil he would come back to her
again. She wishe I that he could know
how well she was prospering ; and at times
she would have given up everything and
shared poverty and even disgrace, for the
sake of seeing him alive once more. But
a'ain she thought of her precious children
and how much she could advance their in
terests in the world by the power which
her growing wealth could give her.
Stcphy grew stouter and wiser every
day. A good and faithJul student, she felt
that it would be injustice to tie hini down
to mechanical labor, and by prudence and
frugality, she managed at last to send him
to college. It was a struggle, and cost her
and the girls many sacrifices, but they
were willingly made, aud he went through
the appointed time aud received tho high-
est honors of his class at the end.
As a profession, ho decidedly preferred

lAspitc the provei I) that a prophet hath
no honor in his own country, he was suc
cessful beyond his hopes, and soon realized
a competence He still lived with his
mother, and after his own fortunes bright
ened, he would urge her to give up her
business, ana rest comi'ortubly upon what
she hal saved. If that did not suffice, he
was ready to support them all.
JJiit sonic unexpressed feeling in her
heart forbade this. She worked earlv and
late, auuing uouur 10 tioiur, ano anxiously
seeking to invest everything as favorably
t i i i : 1 1 1 . .1 . n . l t 1.1
as possible.
Stephen thought her selGsh almost,
when he wished so much for her society
at night, to find her stitching cutting, bas
ting ami fitting as if her life depended on
every shred of cloth that she w;s manufac
turing into gaiments.
His sister's woman-heart more easiiy di
vined her motives. They knew, although
she never spoke of him, that she was gath
ering up for their father's return. They
knew that she believed him living, and
that sonic day he would come ba'k; and
that she would show hini that she had not
been idle in her desolation ; or if he re
turned poor, she would have power to raise
him above despondency.
Alice married at sixteen, and removed
to Cincinnati; and soon after, Sarah, the
pet, the darling of them all, gave up her
sweet young life and went to heaven.
'1 hen the mother yearned for Alice, and
Stephen gave up his practice, and took
his mother away from their sorrowful
home.
Arrived at Cincinnati, he found a place
more suited to his ambition. Mid soon he
i
became one of the first in his profession,
and gradually distinguished as a public-
spirited and noble-hcuried citizen.
Now that the family were again united,
and time seemed to soften the loss of the
child they had so dearly loved, Mrs. Wor
cester recurred more frcrjuently to the
subject of her husband's return.
Stephen thought her almost insane on
this point, and with reason for she would
sit at the window for hours, now that her
old occupation was gone, and gaze at the
crowds that passed by, as if earnestly try
ing to discern the well remembered feat
ures. '1 he first baby in the house was a girl.
It was named alter the beloved Sarah, a.:d
thenceforth Mrs. Worehester lived on the
life of that child. Alice c uld hardly be
permitted to hold it in her arms at a":l, so
eager was her mother to perform every
thing pertaining to the little one's coin
fort. Her children looked upon this with
pleasure, for thty had really sometimes
feared tho effect upon her senses, which
the constant expectation and subsequent
disappointment was likely to produce.
Stephen was one elay returning from
some professional calls, when he perceived
a group collected upon the side walk, not
far irom the street where he lived. He
was on foot ; and as he came near the
crowd parted respectfully to let "the good
Beictor," as he was called, pass on.
He then saw that the obje 't of their at
tention was a man, who seemed to be strick
en prematurely old. His lonir grey hair
streamed in the wind ; a beard white as
snow, hung far down his breast, but still
his countenance did not indicate length ed
years.
He was relating to the pitying crowd
how recklessly he had tiiice thrown away
his happiness, how cowardly he had de
scitcd his flmily, and become a wanderer
in manv lands: How that in all his wand-
erings, poverty had still clung to nun, and
that at length, worn, weary, and wretched,
he had turned his footstejs home again to
seek his family, ask their forgiveness for
his desertion and die.
He told thein he had sought them
where he had left them, but found them
not, and had traveled slow ly and painfully
to the west, whither he was told they had
gone. Here his courage and his strength
had failed hini alike, and he implored his
listeners to take him to some hospital,
where he could fiud shelter lor the few
days he had to live.
"Here comes the doctor," was echoed
from one to j.nother. "He will help us
to find a home for the poor creature." A nd
the Doctor was fail ly carried along with
the stream, until he stood i'a6eto face with
the stray, waif which had floated into his
path.
Memories came thronging up of his
childish ye.irs, as he looked at that for
lorn old man. He was a little child when
his father went away ; but something in
that face woke up a host of long forgotten
scenes, years on years ago.
With streaming eyes, he led the man
away to his home, and a few questions on
the way elicited the truth of what he sus
pected. LIo conducted him bj a privato gate to
J 800.
his ofiitc in the rear cf his house clothed
him anew, smoothed his ragged locks, and
refreshed hini with f iod and wine. Not
until then oil he insist upon knowing his
name. It was he '.
Cautiously he told h'm that he was his
son and then the pallid face glowed. He
dared not ak for hit wife, dead or living;
but through an open door 'tc saw a woman
sitting with the very child, as he thought,
that was in his wife's arms when he left
for the last time. Time had touched her
very gently, and the bright hair and eyes
were me same as ever,
caught one glimpse of
i" i . , ,
She turned and
f his face, and sh
knew instantly that it was her husband.
Time could han no veil upon that coun
tenance which her love could not pierce
through.
It was a rare meeting, so w:n ;.i .Mid car
dial so apparently oblivious of ail wing
cr unkindiiess. so full of tenderness and
sympathy, that all was forgotten, save the
actual presence of the beloved. The past
was annihilated, or only lived to give the
necessary shading to a picture so delight
ful. If ever wife was worshipped by a hus
band, it was Sarah Worcester, llestored
by her care to health and strength, a new
man in purpose his character from the im
putation that had rested upon it. He
sought and obtained a situation, for noth
ing could induce him to touch hi wife's
hardly earned money, nor would he be
under obligation to his children ; but la
belling every day for his daily bread, he
experiences a satisfaction which was nev
er his before. Heaven strengthened him
to accept it as he ought ! Let no one
judge him harshly, l'cw are the souls
into which misfortune may not sometimes
briiiLr weakness and cowardice, l'erfec-
tion, like aloe, blooms only once in a
century.
Hints to Yolnc. L.tjks. Don't
make a tfi?utitf of the first young lad
you met. A woman can't kcH'p a secret
any more than a seive can hold water, and
ten to one she'll tell the whole story to
the sister of the nice young man in ques
tion. Uhen you can imagine the conse
quences. 1 on't sit down to your crochet work or
embroidery, unless jou have first mended
that hole m our stocking. No use crowd
ing it under the heel, of jour shoe ; razs
like murder, will out, and they speak with
terrible loud voices, and at inconvenient
seas. us sometimes.
Don't keep a gentleman waiting half an
hour when lie calls,, whilst you put on
lace and ribbons, and arrange curls ; he
isn't a fool, whatever you may think on
the subject, and will probably form his
own ideas upon . your original appear
ance. Don't run and hide like a frightened
rabbit, when a geiuleman puts his head
into the room where you are sweeping or
dusting. If there's anything to be asham
ed of in the business, why do you do
it.
And above al'whcn sonic one (7tcs pro
pose, don't say no, w hen you mean yes '
lie may take you at your word.
If you follow all these precepts, you
may one day succeed in getting married,
and that, ;uu know, is the summit of all
earthly ambition.
Don't Bklikvk it. An exchange re
lates the following, which is undoubtedly
a slander upon the "Knobbcrs:" "in
Kentucky, way up among the 'knobs,'
there is a" region so rocky, and rough that
the people do most ot their hauling on a
sort of sled ; or, at bes:, can only use a
frame mounted on long wide trucks sawed
from a log. Lately, a traveler, with a
i haeton havinir very small wheels in front
that turned under the cairiagc, by missing j
his road, got into this wild country Ma- i
king the test of his way through it, he !
was surprised to find that he was followed J
by a crowd ed boys, who kept their eyes
intently fixed on the running gear of the
ve hicle. The silence they maintained and
the perseverance with which they dogged
the traveler somewhat alarmed him, aud
stopping his horse, he inquired why they
were following him. The leader of the
boys, an overgrown fellow, about seven
feet hiiih, replied : "Why, dcur-on it, Mis-
ter, we wanted to see now iar you el get
afore your big wheels cotched the little

Politeness. When young Hodge first

he replied, "Half of that, if you please'
to the consternation, of all present.

Cemetery i" Hie tupitutciui.
The cemetery is beneath the church,
but entirely above grouud, and li-ihted by
a row of iron-grated windows without
glass. A corridor runs along beside these
windows, and gives access to three or four
vaulted recesses, or chapels, of consider
able breadth and height, the floor of which
covsists of the consecrated earth of Jeru
salem. It is smoothed decorously over
the deceased brethren of the convent, and
is kept quite free from grass or weeds,
such as would grow even in these gloomy
recessf
e, if pains were not bestowed to
root them up. But, as the cemetery is
smll. and it is a precious privilege to

in Jiolv ground, the brotherhood are
i i .. i;;i;y accustomed, when one of
umber dies, to take the longest
skeleton out of the oldest rrravp.
.1
and lay t!c new slumberer there instead.
1 bus. e: eh of the good friars, in his turn,
enjoys ti e luxury of a consecrated bed,
attended with the slight drawbitk of be
ing forced to get up before day-break, as
it were, and make room for another lodger.
The arrangement of the unearthed skel
etons is what makes the special interest of
the cemetery. The arched and vaulted
walls of the burial recesses a re supported by
massive pillars and pilasters made of thigh
bones and skulls ; the whole material of
the structure appears to be a similar kind ;
and the knobs and embossed ornaments of
this strange architecture are represented bj
the joints of the spine, and the more del
icate tr icery by the smaller bones of the
human frame. The summits of the arches
are adorned with entire skeleton, looking
as if they were wrought most skilfully in
bas-relief. There is no possibility ot de
scribing how ugly and grotcstpue is the
effect, combined with a certain artistic
merit, nor Ii'av much perverted ingenuity
has been shown in tiiis tpueer way, nor
what a multitude of dead monks, through
how many hundred years, 3iust have con
tributed their bony frame-work to build
up these areat arches of mortality. On
soiiiO of the skulls there are inscriptions,
purporting that such a monk, who for
u.criy maue use of that particular head
piece, died on such a day and year, but
vastly the greater number are piled upin
disiinguishably into the architectural de
sign, like the many deaths that make up
the one glory of a victory.
In the side walls of the vault are niches
where skeleton monks sit or stand, clad ia
th i brown habits that they wore in life,
and labelled with their names and the dates
of their eleceae. Their skulls (some quite
bare and others still covered with yellow
skin, and hair that has known the earth
damps,) look out from beneath their hoods,
trri uning hideously repulsive. One rever
end father had his mouth wide open, as if
he had died in the midst of a howl of ter
ror and remorse, which perhaps is even
now screeching through eternity. As a
general thing, however, these frocked aa I
hooded skletons seem to take a moreehecr
ful view of their position, and try with
ghastly smiles to turn it into a jest. lut
the cemetery of the Capuchins is no place
to nourish celestial hopes; the soul sinks
f.irloru ami wretched under all this burden
of dusty death; the holy earth from . Jeru
salem so imbued is it with mortality, has
