That dazzled me with its spell

And the loveliest things 1 had loved before - .
Were only the landscape nykw,
On the canvass . bright-where-1 pietured her,
in the glow ilk my early vow.
And the next good thing I was fain to love
Was to sit in my cell, alone; .

And n Spirit was on me that next I loved,
That ruleth my spirit. still;
And maketh me murmur these sing-song words,
Albeit against my will.
And I walked the woods till the winter came,
• And then did I love the snow,
And I heard the gales through the wildwood aisles
Like the LORD'S own organ blow. .
And the bush I had loved in my greenwood walk;
I saw it a far away.
Surpliced with snows like the bending priest
That kneels in the church to pray:
And 1 thoughtlof the vaulted fine and high,
Where 1 stood when a little child, • -
Awed by tt e, lauds sung thrillingly , "
And the anthems midi:fled. • • •

And again to the vaulted church rwent,
• And I heard the same sweet prayers,
And the seine full organ peals upsent,
•
And the same soft soothing airs
And tfelt in.my -spirit -so drear and strange,------
. To think of the lace I ran,
That I loved the sole thing that knew no change
In the soul of the boy and man. •
And the tears I wept in the wilderness,
• And that froze on my'lids, did full,
And melted to pearls for my sinfulness, •
Like scales from the eyes of Paul
And the last dear thing I was fond to love,
Was that holy service high,
Thath lifted my soul to joys above,
And pleasures that do not die.
And then, said I, one 01111011er° is,
That I of the LORD desire,
That ever, while lon earth shall live, •
I will of the LORD require;
That I may dwell in his temple blest-
As 100 g as my life shall be,
'And the beauty fair of the Low) or Horn,
In the home of his glory see.'

little'disposed to court society, all prospect
of immediately solving the mystery that
hung about the piano, seemed hopeless
In the meantime public opinion was 'rife'
—the depository of this strange.dhing was
looked upon by passers-by with undefina
ble awe; ,and as noises, unfaniiliar, some
times reached the street,'it was presumed
this was the piano, and the excitement rose
higher than ever: One or two old ladfee,
presuming on their age and respectability,
called upon the strangers and enquired af
ter their heaths, and- offered their services
and friendship. In the meantime they eyed
every thing in the house with intensity,
but seeing nothing strange, they hinted a
bout the piano._One ,of ihe,..new family .
observed'eerelessy,''thatit had been much
injured in bringing it out, that the damp
had affectetrits terms, and that - one Of. its
legs was so, injured• that it'would not stand
up, and that for the present it would not
ornament the parlor.',
Here was an explanation indeed-in
jured in bringing it out—damp affecting its
tones—leg broken--`poor thing,' ejaculat

homes, 'travelling has evidently fatigued

was dying to see the Piano,' and the. first
opportunity he had alone with his 'Quix

expressed, but Mercer repeated for the
thousanileth time, his visit to the 'Capitol,'
his familiarity with fashionable,society and

,ered-a singular machine at-the end of the

itself, he' gazed with distended eyel, and
asked Mercer; with, breathless • anxiety,
'what that was?'' • Mercer 'turned co the
thing as ' coolly as a toper would `toa glass'
of brandy and' water, and said that was
ft' -.`That.rr!' 'exclaimedlrash,--opening
his eyes still wider; and wished to see its
'tones.' Mercer pointed-to the - cross-bari
and rollers. With trembling hands, and a
rbsoliktfon . that would enable - a .man to be
Scalped without Winkillk. Cssh reached out
his, hand and seized the handle of the crank
(Cash--was -at heart a brsve:andlearleis
man,). he gave.it a turn, the machine grated
harshly, and seemed to clamor for some
thing to put in itermaw.
'What delicious sounds,' said Cash. •
`Beautiful, 'observed the, complacent Mo
Mercer, at the same time seizing Cash's.
arin,, and asking him to desist for fear of
breaking the instrument, or gettingiCout
of tune. The simple caution was suffi
cient, and Cash, in the joy of his discovery
at what he had seen and done, for a mo
ment looked as conceited as Mo Mercer
himself. .Busy indeed 'was Cash, from
this time forward, to explain to gaping .
crowds the'exact appearance orthiePiano,
how he had actually taken hold of it,'and.
'as his friend - Mo - Mercer obServed --
music out of it.' rhe curiosity of the vil
lage was'thus allayed. and
,itdied compar
atively away; Cash having rose to almost
as much consequence as MO Mercer for
his having seen and handled the thing:
Our New England family knew little or
nothing of all this excitement; they receiv
ed the visits and congratulations of the
hospitable villagers, and resolved to give a
grand party to return some of. the kind
nesses they had ieceiveci,_and the Piano
was fomthe first time moved into the-par
lor. .No invitations on this occasion were
neglected : early at the • posh was. every
visitor, for it.was rumored that Miss ,Pa
:tient° Doolittle would in the course of the
evening perform . .on . th,e•Piano. The ex
citement was immense, the supper was
passed over with a contempt that rivals cast
upon an excellent farce, played preparatory
to adull tragedy in which the star is: to
appear. • The furniture Was 'all critically
examined, but nothing 'could be found an
swering to Cash's description. An enor-.
mously thick table, with a spread oil 'it,
attracted but little attention, for timber is
cheap hi a new eountry, and - every body.
expected soon to see the Piano ',brought
in.'
Mercer, of Cirarse,' was. the hero 'of the
evening; he talked !Mid and long: Cash,'

ANECDOTES OF WATERLOO
. PRESENCE OF MlND.—During the fore- .
noon of the 18th, while lying in square,
we were much expoSed to the fire of the
French artillery.. If a caution shot pasbed
through the _ ranks, it was sure to kill
- *blind three' or four; but if a shell alighted
and exploded, the mischief was considera
bly greater. A shell from the enemy's
guns alighted in the middle•of our square.
Lieutenant Colonel C , •although a
very heavy man, with the greatest nimble
' ness sprang toward it, seized. it, in both
hands, and placing his
.thuMb over the
burning fusee, so as to• stifle it or other
wise prevent its exploding, threw it over
the men's heads out of the sinird.' :this
was done, .of course, at the r 4 of instant
death to himself. We were cautioned 'af
terwards when a shell Alined near us„ to'
lie flat down for a few seconds till
_the ex
plosion took place, by: which means many
lives were saved. I.Vhether from
,the, soft-'
fess - or:the;grOutfd; - or'the - tiustilfut - matm
facture . of the French shells, h know not,
but I observed a number' alight whicli never
exploded. In this instance; fortunately,
the officer escaped with a slight burn of his.
thumb, as his servant told me afterward.—
This act of courageous devotion probably
saved many lives.• '
LUDICROUS OCCURRENCit.—During the
forepart of the 18th, the battallion to which
I belonged was stationed in. square, for the
purpose of covering and protecting the ar,
tillery,. and in the several charges made by
the French upon us. it must be acknowl
edged that they Caine.up - in - a most daring
style, even riding at one lims,round our
square, trying where they could gain an
entrance. Although clothed in steel, how
ever, they , were not proof against our mus
ketry, for we hearll the balls tinkling against
their cuirasses, and san , several ofilism
fatally. penetrated. Some were' dismount
ed, taken prisoners, marched to the - rear by
a single man, whO was actually picked tan
for that purpose bee:l'llB6le had 'a 'squint in .
both eyes, and could look, more ways than
one at once. Such is the . sort of 'practical .
. jesting that goes on amid 'Wounds and death.
Though not a good shot, he managed 'this
business - creditably. Upon one of the
charges•of French cavalry, a gunner, more
daring than the 'resr,instead of retiring for
protection to the square, kneeled doyn up
on one knee (with the . sponge.or ramrod in

descended from the, people of Abyssinia
and Ethiopia. The Copts areolloWed„by
all to bellescended from these last pefiple,•
and the skulls correspond precisely with
those - or the ancient mummies. So that'
whatever may have been the intention in
preserving the body as a mummy,. we see
that it has resulted, in the advancement of
human knowledge. The keeping- of the
human .frame, especially the head, gives-us
the history of the anatomical confirmation
of bygotiolraces of men. An anatomist
well schooled in osteology, can describe
the races of the- mummied bodies with as
much fidelity as the antiquarian can give

case, filled with a buqdhrolliiindages—and
the other Was a mummy of an Ibis. In
most instances, •the cavities of -mummies,
examined by. French • and English surgeons, '
were found filled with bitumous substan
