Speak kindly, gently to thy wife,
She knows enough of sorrow ;
Oh I seek not from each petty ill
An angry word to burrow,
For in her heart there's treasured love,
Oh ! prize its golden worth;
One gentle word, one smile of thine,
Can ever call it 'lath.
When thou art harsh and stern and cold,
And from thine own dear home,
That:unshinv of domestic love
In sorrow seek to roam ;
Upon her heart thy cold words fall
And chill lovo'e tender life;
Then, oh I amidst thy trials all,
Speak kindly to thy wife.

Of cherished love,and to thine own
But Pearce a year have come,
Though five or ten have told the time
And thou hare shared its strife,

Speak gently to thy wife.

She may be growing old,
And soon ye both may garnered lie
In shadows of the mould,

To soothe the cares of life
Oh 1 then, when trials round thee cling,

" Some years ago, while making a brief
sojourn in the city of Bristol, I set out one
evening with a friend for a stroll through
the city. We had visited several places of
interest, and were on our return to our ho
tel ; a female, closely muffled in a coarse
hood— which, throes over her head, was
drawn around her face, so as to conceal all
but her eyes—hurriedly crossed over from
the opposite side of the way, and accosted
us in accents of despair:
"Gentlemen, for the love of heaven, give
me money ! My mother is dying of hunger,
and I have not wherewith to purchase a
morsel of food !"
We were both etruck with the tone of her
voice, for though agitated by feeling of des
peration, it had a peculiar sweetness, and
her language was that of one both educa
ted and refined.
Do not think me inquisitive," said my
friend, iu a kindly tone, as he drew forth
his purse. "It' I ask what misfortune has
brought you to this? for it is evident you
are no common applicant for charity?"
" Oh, no, sir, no I" she said, shrinking
back into herself, as it wore "I never asked
for charity before; and though I have not
tasted food for two long days, I would sooner
perish than ask it for myself now; but I
could not ace her die, my old friend—oh, I
could not sec her die !"
Ilcre," said my companion, placing a
sum in her hand which I immediately doub.
She clutched the money like a miser, and
for a moment or two was completely over
powered by her emotions. Then, with a
choking effort, eho gasped forth—
" Thanks, gentlemen! may heaven bless
you."
She turned away, and took two or three
hasty steps, and then, stopping suddenly,
she looked around, and added—
" You asked what misfortune brought me
to this, I shall scow ungrateful if I refuse
to tell."
Never mind," said my friend; "the re
cital will give you pain, and therefore I pray
you. consider the question unasked."
" Your noble generosity overpowers me,
sir," she rejoined, in a tremulous voice,
"and my pride shall give away. If you
have a few minutes to spare, come with me,
and you shall know all"
"Nay," said I, "do not let us intrude
upon your sorrows, unless you think we can
be of further a.Rsistauce. You are welcome
to the little we have given, which shoulikbe
doubled if wo had more to spare, but we
have no right to claim your secret in re
turn."
She buried her face in her shawl and
burst into tears.
"Alas!" rho eobbed, "if all mankind
were thus gene oue how many a tuistrable
being might now be happy I Come with me
and hoar my story 1 I know lan iruit
you, and I shall rest caner by knowing I
have convinced you, I am no impostor."
We assured her that we did not for a
~rlindr•ad

Bomo nrg6ble misfortune, but u we might
be of fortliskeerriee to her we would see
her safely hone t .lnd die might then relate
her story cm not, ili a aba dtould think proper.
"Follow me," she sold, and net off at a
quick walk down the street, we keeping at
a respectful diabuloc behind, and I, for au,

feeling an unusual curiosity to know some•
thing more of her.
At the next corner of the ptreet was an
oil lamp, which threw out a dim light; and
standing near it, in a listless attitude, we
observed a man in the garb of a sailor, and
evidently just from sea. As our unkirown
guide drew near him, I rotieed that she
seemed much agitated; and, on coming up
to hint, to our surprise, and apparently his,
she stopped and looked eagerly into his face
for a moment; and then, with a wild cry,
she suddenly threw out her arms, clasped
him around the neck, and appeared to swoon
upon his breast.
" See I" said my friend, making an ab•
rapt halt; "we are duped; this is some
trick ; that girl is an impostor I"
"Impossible I" returned I, unwilling to
believe that such grief and misery as she
represented could be a base counterfeit.—

As I spoke, the sailor, as if in great sur
prise, partly unwound the arms of the un
known from his neck, raised her head, anti
looked curiously and wildly into her face,
which we could see, even from where we
stood, was pale and beautiful. The next
moment he uttered a wild cry, and, quickly
throwing his arms aronnd her now lifeless
form, he exclaimed:
Mary I my Mary I"
It seemed to be all that he could utter,
as he tkirly tottered with his fair burden,
and fur a few moments we stood dumb with
amazement. "What's this? what's the
meaning of this?" he now demanded, look
ing fiercely at us.
"Well, if that is acting, it is the best I
ever saw," muttered my companion, as we
hastened forward and gave a hurried account
of all that we knew of the matter.
"Merciful Providence! is it possible ?"
said the man, looking alternately at us and
and at the fair creature in his arms, and
clasping his forehead us if to collect his
scattered senses. "Mary !" he continued,
at short intervals ; "my dear wife ! my dear
wire ! And my mother too! Starving I"
Ile continued to repeat these expressions
like one overpowered by some terrible shock,
and who knew not what he was saying;
while we stood looking on, too much aston
ished to think of offering hint any assist
ance.
At length, with a sort of gurgling gasp,
the pour creature opened her eyes; and
looking wildly and fondly into the manl,v.
face ofhinw iosupported her, she tour
mured
"Chitties I Charles I is this you? in lifb—
in death—or in a dream?"
I pass over ti e wild, frantic, lassionate
ezelamatkins on both sides, as each began
to realize the truth—the one that fount] a
loving wife in the depths of misery—the
other that she had regained a fond husband
at the moment of all others when she most
needed his aid, counsel, love and support.
"Come," whispered my friend, touching
my arm, "lot us withdraw ; their meeting
should be sacred from the intrusion of stran
gers."
Though deeply curious to know something
of their history, I silently acquiesced in his
proposal ; and quietly departing, we return
ed so our hotel, musing upon the uncertain
ties, vicisitudes and romance of life.
aw, days after, as I was sitting on the
piazza of the hotel, I saw a sailor pasting
along the street, and curiosity prompted we
to address him. The moment he saw me,
he came bounding up, grasped my baud,
and burst into tears.
"Heaven bless you !" lie exclaimed in a
choking yoke ; "Heaven bless you and your
friend . and so says Mary. I've been hunt
ing fur you all over the city, sir, but I feared
I'd never Re you again. Here ! let me pay
you back your money ; and you will be so
kind, sir, as to accept these two rings for
yourself and n ie n d ?"
1 took the money—for I saw if I did not
he would feel very much hurt; but fearing
his circumstances might not justify him in
making a present of so much value, I at•
tempted to decline the rings. It was of no
use —be would take no denial—and so I re
luctantly accepted them, thanking him in
behalf of my friend, who was absent. I
then drew from him his story, which I will
give in a few words.
lie and bis wife were both natives of a
small village, and had ellen played together
as children, His own father was in good
ntimstances, but subsequently lost his r ro
perty, and died soon after, leaving himself
and mother to struggle along as best they
might.
Among those believed to be friends in
prosperity, but who forsook them in adver
sity, was the father of his present wife; but
though fortune separated the youth and
maiden, it only increased an attachment
which had begun in childhood.
For years, however, they did not meet;
and during that time the narrator became a
sailor and acquired sufficient means to put
chase a cottage for his mother, leaving
small balance on mortgage, which his next
voyage was to clear off. While at home, be
and his Nary again met ; and, conscious of
a mutual passion, and knowing her parents
would not consent to the union, but were
most anxious to ally her'to a wealthy suitor,
they took advantage of an opportunity, and
were privately married.
Charles Dell4oll l for such was his name
then took leave of his wife, and shipped
for a whaling voyage, intending it should be
his lass cruise. While absent, his wilt's
parents discovering the secret of her mar
riage, disod drove her flue, and
she took NUM lit* his mother.
Together the widowed mother and wife
struggled along, both anxiously looking for
the return of their only friend, but ho came
not at the time expected, the mortgage was
foreclosed, the property sold ; and, almost
penniless, they repaired to Bristol, hoping
to be able to maintain themselves by the
needle.
I need not prolong the story—it is an old
tale. Sickness and misfortune follows!)
them, they failed to procure sufficient work
for their necessities, and on the night when
the wife appealed to us, they were in a star
ving condition. Charles had just returned
from his cruise ; and at the very moment
when his Mary so unexpectedly met him, he
was thinking of home, which he expected
to reach the next day. lle had been pru
dent, the voyage had been more than usually
profitable, and his share, ho said, would en
able him to start in business.
"Come what will," he continued, "I'll
never leave my dear mother and 3lary again
while we live. They're happy now, thank
God ! and it shall he the aim of my life to
keep them so."
He urged me to come and see him and
his now happy family, and bring my friend;
and then invoking upon us the blessing of
Heaven, he wrung my band, and turned
quietly away, to conceal the emotions he
eared not to display.
"Ah I such is life, in this world of selfish
and unselfish humanity," mused I, as I
watched his retreating footsteps, till a turn
in the street concealed him film my view.
We never met again.
The Fox,
Of the many species - of this animal to be
found in all parts of the world, the natura
lists assign seven to this continent—the sil
ver gray ur black, the red, the cross, the
swift, the gray, the coast, the prairie and
the arctic fox. The first named of these.
the silver gray or black, is exceedingly rare,
and furnishes the most valuable fur known
to commerce, single skins selling in London
for two hundred dollars—gold—each. To
sportsmen, however, the red and the gray
are the most interesting specks. We have
no conception iu this country of the trouble
and expense to which the hunting men iu
England put themselves for a supply of fox
es. They will set aside lands worth a thous.
and dollars an acre to agriculture to make
artificial covers for foxes, as many as a thous
and of which were imported in 1849. A
single lividoal, -a-eelebrated-muster of
hounds in the South of England, gave an
unlimited order to Philip Castang, the well
known dealer in Leadenhall, to stock his
country ; through his agents in Holland,
France, Germany and Scotland, Castang got
together seventy-five brace of foxes, which
were all turned down in one neighborhood.
There was a very perceptible difference in
the appearance of these foxes, due, doubt
less, to their different nationalities. Hul
ked continues to supply the greatest num
ber. and they reckoned in England the best
of the foreign foxes.
Naturalists are clearly mistaken, as all
Southern hunters know, in the assertion
that red foxes Are found every.where on
this continent, for there is not a better au
thenticated fact, that the first red foxes seen
in Maryland were imported by our fox hunt
ing ancestors from England long before the
revolution, and turned down on the east
ern shore of the Chesapeake; to which
section of the State they were confined for
several years, until ; during an unusually
severe winter, they crossed the bay on the
ice to the western shore ; they were certain
ly no red foxes in Mississippi as late as 1839,
for the writer hunted there regularly three
times a week, for five seasons, and never
saw one. Wherever the red makes his
appearance the grey disappears sooner or
later, the red drives him out ; and where
the two exist together, in the same neigh
borhood, the grey falls a victim to the
hounds, where the rod, from the superior
staunchness and game, More frequently es
capes.
The Aupplantiog of the grey by the red
fox is much to be regreted. An ordinary
pack of hounds can generally kill the for
mer in from ono to two hours, and his man
ner of doubling in circles and rarely running
more than four or five miles from the start
ing point, affords much better sport than
the red fox, who will frequently make a bee
line of from twenty, reaching even to fifty
miles from the spot where he is" bounced."
To kill greys we want musical does of me
dium speed, packing well together ; for the
red, your dogs cannot be too fast, if they
will but keep the line of scent; tofind these
two qualities combined is difficult to do.--

A Survivor of Ow Minimesoin
Almoners Kills 10S Indians.
A young man is now stopping at the Key
City House, by the name of George W. Por
ter, whose parents, brothers, sisters and
relatives, were all murdered at Redwood,
Minnesota, in the great Indian massacre of
18011. He is the sole survivor, and was the
only one left to communicate the mournful
intelligence to the nearest, settlement. Bereft
in one brief hour of all that ho bold dear on
earth, and with the victims of savage feroc
ity extended in death before him, he took a
solemn vow of vengeance. How well he
has performed that vow, the reader may
Judge when we state that in six years young
Porter has alone, with the assistance of
Nothing but his trusty rifle, sent to the hap

and eight Indian braves. He carries a piece
of canehreek, about twelve inches in length,
and whenever he killed an Indian he would

piece of cane alluded to, the last one being

desert waste., by the mountain side and in
the lonely glen has ho pursued his victims
until the crack of the rifle and the death
yell proclaimed that another redskin had
been sent to his final account, and sated
with blood the vengeance of his pursuer.
Porter had not passed through all these
perilous scenes far unscathed. His body
has been riddled by eleven bullets and stab

he has withstood all, came out victoriou.,

Starved to Death.
We cut the following from an exchange
A respectable, industrious woman, the
mother of nine children, died of starvation,
last week, in Philadelphia. Her husband,
who worked in a foundry, had been out of
work for some weeks, and the poor woman,
to proud to ask assistance, had denied her-
self that her little ones might have food,
until nature could more, and
perished.
This is the way it goes. A white woman
starves to death in Philadelphia for want of
food, while the government keeps up a bu
reau, which costs the tax-payers several
millions a year, to feed, clothe, anti educate
negroes. This thing goes on year after
year anti the people quietly submit to it.
Congress devotes a large share of its time
to the negro, and all manner of ways are de
vised to make him more comfortable and
give him new power, notwithstanding white
women are permitted to starve in Phila
delphia, under the nose of the Union League.
It seems sometimes that justice has taken
its flight from this world.—Menroe Demo

A REMARKABLE SPRIN(/ IN FLORIDA,—
There is near (kola, a remarkable spring,
one of the largest of the great number
known in Florida. It iscalled Silver Spring.
I found it in the midst of a lone hammock,
overflowing its banks, It bubbled up in a
basin thirty-seven feet deep and about an
acre in extent, filling and overflowing it, and
sending front it a deep stream flfy or sixty
feet wide, and extending eight or nine miles
to the Oklawana river,into which it empties.
In the spring itself fifty steamboats way lie
at anchor, and in the stream, steamboats of
considerable draught. The spring thus
forms a natural inland port, to which three
steamers now run regularly from St. John's.
The dearness of the water is truly wonder
ful. It seams even more transparent than
air. You see on the bottom, thirty feet be
low your boat, the exact form of the small
est pebble, the outline and color, and shaaes
of color of the leaves which have sunk.
Large fish swim in it, every scale visible, and
every movement distinctly observable. The
water is impregnated with lime and magne
sia, but has no appreciable taste, and is ex
cellent drinking water. If you go over the
basin in a boat you will see the fissures in
the rocks, from which the river pours up.
ward like an inverted cataract. There arc
more of the Pprings in the channel of the
stream, further down. Such springs are al
most common in Florida. Clay Spring,
near the east bank of Lake Apapkn, pours
forth a navigable stream into the St. John's,

"hoped the prayer of these poor colored

AN ANTIQUE CURIOsITY.—They have,
in Puridenee, R. I. ) 4 ra
iqui y. tis a quaint shaped old coffee
pot, of solid silver, and very heavy, beauti
fully emblazoned one side with the coat of
arms of the Earl of Selkirk ; with the
Lions ormpout, and the expressive old
family motto :—"Frangas non Flectes."
Thu history of the coffee pot, as far as is
now known, is a curious one, being at one
time the property of the famous Comodore
John Paul Jones. It seems that when
Commodore Jones was a boy, his tilther was
gardner to the Earl of Selkirk. The Earl
had a queer peculiarity, which was a passion
for uniformity.
If ho planted a tree, he must have anoth
er to match it ; if he had a window he must
have another to match it ; also in furnish
ing a room the same similarity must be
heeded to the letter, and another furnished
precisely like it.
He carried his passion to that extent,
that if he had to punish his sou by shutting
him up in one of the summer houses, the
gardner's son must be shut up in another,
and when he resorted to harsher means and
used the birch on his own son, the gardner's
son received an equal share.
These things rankled in the heart of the
embryo Commodore, and when in 177; he
made his famous descent upon the coast of
Scotland , being familiar with oil the paths
and by-ways of the country, be "made a
raid" and took hie revenue, by seizing all ,
the plate of the Earl of Selkirk, which had
been in the , family fur, no knowing how
many years.
Afterwards the plate was restored by our
government. Upon its restoration, the
Earl gave this identical coffee pot as a pres
ent to Commodore Jones. She Commodore
being a harem searetu fellow and a bachelor,
after awhile gave it to his particular friend,
Commodore hopkins, who bequeathed it to
his brother, John Hopkins, who in his turn
bequeathed it to his with. At her death it
became the property of her niece and adopt
ed daughter, Miss Mehitablo Green, who
married Mr. Win. Simons, for many years
the editor of the Republican Herald in
Providence. Mrs. Simons dying before her
husband, left it by will to him, and he gave
it to his daughters, who are now living, and
to whom this rare and valuable antipue relic
now beletngs.

Grant's daddy, who bus been writing the
life of his remarkable boy, Ulysses, for the
New York Ledo?, has discontinued the
truly combo and laughable papers. It will
be a sad and irrepairsble loss to the history
of our country, and we deeply regret this
sudden stoppage of the WNW of old man
Grunt. There is a report that Bonner got
sick of the egotistical stuff, while others say
that Grant's keepers protested that it WAS
doing their Presidential candidate a great
deal of harm and insisted that it should be
stopped. Ho far as he had progressed with
life of his boy, it was demonstrated that) be
would have made an excellent hostler, as he
was always very lima of horses, but he nev
er showed any aptness fur anything furth
er. Grant is a remarkable man and ho has

A RELIC UV AnNol.n.—An interesting
relic of Arnold's march through Maine to
Canada has Just came to light in a strange
place. This is a piece of paper with the
inscription" Dunkirk— with Arnold-1776.'
It was found in a maple tree, which was
probably cut in the town Vast. , alboro," and,
while being sawed at the mill at Augusta, a
pine plug was cut into which was covered
by about nine inches of tbo tree, and being
removed a scrap of paper bearing the above
in pencil was found- A correspondent of
the Boston Tram& r says that it, without
doubt, is genuine, being on paper such as
was manufactured in the last century ; and
the outside cud of the plug was entirely
grown over, being covered by about ninety
rings of the wood that could be counted.
This is now in the hands of the Rev• Win.
A. Drew, but it is hoped that it will be
placed in some public collection, this bit of
paper being of so much interest as bearing
the name of Arnold written when at the
zeinth of honorable glory ; and, as this wri-
ter finely says, the tree which bad it clasped
in its heart is of interest as the last living
thing that enshrined the name of Arnold as
a true man.
