" Farewell ! Farewell! that lonely Word !"
BY GEORGE N. U7T-r4
Forewent farewell l that lonely word is 'Softly ut
tered how,
And while we breathe it sad and low, a 'shade is 'on
thy brow;—
Aade of sorrow on the brow of one so ung and
fair,-
0 God, rendore it and replaCe, a smile of shine
there !
True it is doomed that thou and I, too soon, alas!
"'fit Part,
And bitterly that farewell rend 4 the !bruised and
Bleeding heart ;
But sorrow-8 such as these are felt that we may
better learn
To prize the blissful moment when the Wand'rer
shall return.
•
Farewell !,fareWell 1 that solemn word chills to the
aching brea.st,
And lips that ever met in love, now closer still are
prest—
Now closer still are•prest; till we shall: feel the
burning Idss
Enshrined° within the gentle heart--the eource of
sweetest bliss.
Farewell ! I leave thee, and the cares of life I seek
But still this heart vvlll cling to thee, as to its idol
gem;
But let us hope for happier hours,adown the strewn
of time,
When I can gaze on thy dear face, and Clasp thy
hand in mine!
Farewell! farewell! that lonely word, fate's dark
eclipse pee 11s
And even as I utter it, the tretriblif; 'tear-drop
'falls;
Farewell! faiewell ! my angel one, this brie kill
f
soon be past,
When I return to give to thee me heart and home
at last '

But never felt in his pocket.
He didn't know rightly what was meant ; •

To better them he was willing ;

HOW TO HAVE GOOD NEIGHBORS:
"So yon have bon ht the plosset farm where
Mr. Dalton used to liVe Said Mrs. Emery to Mrs.
Austin. "Itis a pretty place, but,tifter all, I shall
not envy you—for there will be the Watson); under
your elbow, and worse neighbors you never found.
Watson, you know, spends all he can getfor liquor,
and his wife is little better than himself; indeed,
some sav if she was the woman she should be ; her
husband would he a better man. Aud their child
ren—the Pests of the neighborhood, brought up to'
idleness and mischief4-therbaniir to perpetuate
their parents' character."
" Poor; children !" said Mrs. A., mournfully- 7
"what better can we; expect of them, than that I
they perpetuate their .parents' characters, except
there be redeemin g . influences cast around Allem ?
Their poor mother has much to harden her heart.
She was an orphan, east out on the world in iufan
cy. Her heart never unfoldeil the buds of its cif:
fiction beneath the genial smiles of ; parental love.
Everything in her that was good, was checked by
the mil influences which surrounded. her. Irow
can we expect one to be good and kind, who never
knew what kindness; was herself? We do not
know:Mrs. Emery. what vic should be, if our fate
had been like her's."
" True—true," replied Urs.. R ; " but it doe::
geem as if she might blow enough to let het• iwigh
bore property alone ;,but, you'imow, they say she
will stenl." .
" She does not know that she should not steal—
But you and I ought in thank-Heaven that, strong
as we think our principles to be, they have not been
tried by temptations such as bees. We do not
know what it is to be hungry and told, and see our
little ones shivering around us, crying for bread,
while our neighbors have enough, and to spare,"
"`Verywell," said MM. Emery, rather indignant
ly ;- ".we Shall se,p how von like to have your
elothes'-litie and sour fniit-trees robbedevely.now
and-then." -•
" That kill be very unpleasant, if it occurs," was
the quiet : reply ; " but I believe society is guilty of
a great deal of the mischief it suffers from such
persons. They are educated in poverty and vice
no smiles of love fall on their cheerless childhood ;
no kitid voice warns theta of the evils which cur
round their path; no kind hand is extended to raise
them up when falling; but they arc often repelled
with aversion and contempt by those who profess
to be Cbriqians and philmithropi,ste."
" You have singular notions, Mrs. Austin," re
joined-her {friend. "1•Zor myself, I confess. cannot
help feeling an aversion to such people, and wish
them as far can; posSible."
" We never had bhd neiOilx?rs," said Mrs. Aus
tin. thougleully : " if this family cannot be impro
ved, it may be very unpleasant living, by them."
, A few days after the above conversation, Mr.,
and Mrs. Austin took possession of their new home.
They were humble, unpretending people, but they
were Christains, and they had learned Ito believe
it their duty to imitate the example of their Master.
They were not among those whose sympathies were
inactive, when-excited!hy miseries which pass be-
P4re their eyes.
'They had entered upon a spheri which was - to
give trial to their patience, raid an opportunity for
the exercise of their Christian beneyolence. As
soon as they were settled, Mrs. Austin called upon
the \% ations. It w'as riot without a feeling of loath
ing that she enter Lett ruinous hovel ; but she
was resolved to get 44w - tinted with thcni. and, if
possible, to do thi , ny good. The children—poor,
little, dir!y, half-naked things—ran awav- to hide,
when ,he entered ; and Mrs. Watson, with a look
of suipri,e, arose and offered her a broken chair.
I I
have V e just come into the plaice," .Raul she ;
"and as I am anxious !to become acquainted with
my eighbor.. I have taken the liberty to call."
"I am lunch obliged," said Mrs. Watson. " Peo
ple seldom take so much,notice of us."
Mrs. Austin inquired kindly re.specling her health,
'and found that the poor woman wa; far from being
Well. The children began to creep around She
displayed a handful of apples which she took from
her pocket; and they soon gathered around her.—
She gave each an apple, and patted their curly
heads, with kind and gentle words. The little
creatures looked wildly at her, as if }enable to com
prehend the cause of such unwonted kindness.
When the kind lady. 'time to depart, she asked
Mrs. Watson to let Mary—a child of seven years—
accompany her home, that she might send her some
The clad sprang for Ward with a cry of pleasure,
and, placing her hand in that of Mrs. Austin, looked
up affectionately in her face then starting back,
she looked at her mother, who, she remembered,
had not given her consent 1.1 r ,.. W. told Mnry elm,

Mri Austin took the child and departed. It was
a cold day in November—and the wind fluttered
poor tlary's frock, and blew the tangled curls from
her naked brow. Mr& Austin tied her Luidker
ehief over the child's head. " Are not your feet
Cold r one asked, as shy looked down, and saw that
she had‘no shoes on.
" Yes, ma'am," said Mary ; " but mother says we
sludl get no shoes this winter, -for father spends all
ke can get for drink."
i They reached home, land Mrs. A. found she had
a pair of shoes and a shawl--'for • little Mary, and
Some medicine for her mother.
:I The child had neyeri been so happy before as she
was when she tripped homeithat mght. She was
hot only delighted with the presents.whichshehad
received, but the kind words and kind looks of her
friend had fallen like sum - dune upon her heart.
When Mr. Austin came home, his wife informed
him of the call she had: made.
" The situation of the family is truly deplorable,"
she laded ; " is there nothing Witt, we can do for
them r
' " Indeed I do not know," replied her husband.
" If there is, / doubtmot yon will think of it.'
" Watson is terribly besotted ; I met him to-night,
reelingihozne, probably ; to abuse his :family ; and
yet they say, when he is sober, he is. a kind-heart
ed, peaceable man."
"He has a good trade ; and if he could be pre
vailed un to work without drinking, he could
support his family well His poor wife seems in
dolent and hopeless ; lint, if she could see the prer.3-
pects of better days, 4e would no doubt do better."
!-"To be sure:: replied Mr., Austin, thoughtfully,
",he has a good trade, rind Was once ,considered :the
best Workman in town ;, but he has become so in
temperate, that none will ,employ him. I don't
