It's cadence 'e'er my lonely days!
Like something sent on wagon : wheels,
Or Inteked irvan uucouscion§ chaise.

But when I get thMn off to bed,
His gentle tones comes stealing by—

The tender things lie said to me,
Makes mo roinember mighty well

Time and the comb hove thinned my hair;
And.plain and common ere the caps
And dresses that I have to weir—
But•meinory is ever yet
With ull that fellow?s fiatries writ.
I have been out at rnilking-time,
Beneath a dull and rain) sky,
When in the barn 'twos time to feed,
And calves were bawling lustily—
When scattered hay, and sheaves of oats,
And yellow corn ears, sound and hard,
And all that Undies the cattle pass
With wild 6 fleetness through the yard—:
When all was hateful—then have 1,
Wish friends who had to help me
Talked of his wife Inset spitefully.
And how he kept Ler dressed in silk;
And alien tlio cattle, running there,
Threw oler me a Shower of mild,

Like the light chewing of the cud--
And resting near some speckled cow, _
The spirit of a woman's spite,
I've poured a low and fervent vow,
To makg him, if I had the might, -
Live all his lifetime just as hard,
And~rilk Lis dews in such - a_yard.
I have been out to pick up wood,
When night was stealing from the dawn,
Before the fire was:bourning_good,
Or I had put the kettle on
The little stove—when babes were waking
With a low murmur in the beds,
And melody by fits was breaking
Abort their little yellow heads—
And this irlien I was up, - perhaps,,
,-From-a-few-sliort-and-troubledlnaps-
And when the . sun sprang scorchingly
And freely up, end made us stifle, --
And fell upon each hill and tree
The bullets from his subtle rifle—
I say a voice has thrilled me then,
Hard by that solemn pile of wood,
Or creeping from the silent glen,
Like something on the unfledged-Stood,
Ilath stricken me, and I have pressed
Close in my arms my load, of chips,
And pouring forth the hatefulest
Of words that ever passed my lips,
Have felt my woman's spirit rush
• Ole me, as on tleht milking mght, '
And, yielding to the blessed gush
Of my ungovernable spite, . --
Have riset up, the wed, the old, '
Scolding as hard as I cottld'scold.

Tfirt.PFEAILOF BEING AN OLD MAID.
When I was a little girl, I 'was a fat, merry,
jolly, dumpling, as happy. as the day was long.
Every body pinched my rod Cheeks, limn wad
dled aheut with lay doll in my plump arms,
'finding fun in everything, and fully believing
that my dull wAS as sensible as myself; and
perhaps she was, alinesL. But, though I had
a natural antipathy to a spelling bock, and no
fondness fur spending a long semi:ll2es after
noon in poking a needle in and out of a bit of
calico ;
„though I considered patchwork all fool
ishness, and gussets as utter superfluities ;
though I was called a s . impleton for asking my
mother why she mit cloth up and then sewed
it together again ; still, I was fond of picking
up ideas after my own fashion. When the wise
people around Inc supposed I was thinking of
nothing lint play, my two little cars were open
to beery word spoken in my hearing. And
many was tho.word impressed ou my memory,
which the speaker forgot the next moment.—
The talk around me was lily real education, as
it is of all children, send them to what school'
you may.
When I was ten years old, I had 'one sister
aged, fifteen, and another seventeen; and, as
usual with girls of that age, they had u set of:
cronies, some very like and some quite unlike
them id character.„ Ono afternoon, as I was ,
tending my doll Ophelin, who was sick in bed,
I heard a brisk discdssion among those girls,
which, 1 may almost any, decided my.fato for
life. . -• •
The first words that. onus& my attention
came from an anituated, romantic girl of six
teen, scolding beemiso the heroine of a ;level.,
she bed just rend was left unmarried` at the end
of the story: What surprise was expressed at
thitt catastrophe; what indignation.
One of my sisters did not soom to sympa
thize with this Buret of disapprobation, and
then came the pithy question; 'Whatovisuld you
be willing To . die.-an old maid?' Mary said,
very quietly—' Yes ;' and sister Ellen added,
' So would I.'
Then such looks of amazement and incredu
lity ! You can't mean what you say,' cried
ono: If I did not know you too well to think
you a hypocrite—,' said anothei. Why, it
was meant that all women should be married!'
exclaimed a third. Then why aro they not
all married 1' asked Mary, with her neural sim
plicity.
l ager and hot grew the controversy, and I
. lost note word, while Ophelia lay flat on her
back, her still kid arms sticking out, and her
oroup quite forgotten. Thai first did I take
notice of that terrible combination of mono
syllables, Oldlsltdd.' In how Mani , different
tones of contempt, (Iron.), and depreen+n, did
I hear it 'uttered' by tboaeljuvenile

r.personagcs. 'Miss Z. with so . ugly, she never
could Imre lind an offer;' 'Miss Y.dressed eo
shabbily, and wore green spectacles, to look
literary.' And Miss X. was for Inter talking
about Sunday School and society meetings,'
and so on.
You may be sure that the neat time. these
ladies came to our house, I scanned very close
ly the face of Miss Z.-11C face that I had al
ways loved before; but now I mw thntdt was
exceedingly plain. I looked hard at Miss Y's.
,drab-aolored bbnnet and shawl, perceived that
they were old-fashimled and ordinary, and that
her green spectacles looked pedantic. - Then
Miss X., whom I had always squeezed in upon
the sofa, encouraged by her-kindly smile, and
delighted- with-her conversation—how uninter
esting she had become-I They were ails:aids 1
It must be observed that ray Ph:tors—right,
good, sensible, domestic girl they were-had
no part this bewilderment of my yetpig
-ideas. They were in the minority; so I. took
it for granted they were in the wrong. Be.
sides, whal children are over as much influ
enced by what is uttered in the familiar voices
of their own family, tis by words of compara
tive strangers? Take care what you say at a
friend's house, with the young folks catching
up every random sentiment you drop. Many
a judicious mother's morninre%hortation has
been blown to the moon by some light dinner
guest, who did not, after all inean to give ids
real opinion, Or-whose opinion was not worth
having.
And now, Di - mare - yen,' my education went
- on rapidly. It is perfectly marvellous in how
rnna,ywayl4,_nudiby what diffaent.sorts.of pea : .
pie, a young girl is taught that it is a terrible
thing to be an old maid. Fools never show
their folly more than in their hackneyed jests
upon this topic ; but what shall wo say of the
wise folks, who:sinalmost as often in the same'
way-? What shall Ivr-say.ofTthe refinement of
him who is gentlemanly in thought and ex.--
pression on all subjects but this? of the hu
manity and chivalry of him who assails the
defenceless? of the justice of bins who tames
a class with the faults" of individuals, and
wounds with the meanest of weapons—a sneer?
or of the Christianity of:him who indirectly
censures and ridicules one of the arrangements
of - Prosvi - denCirt — .
' I learne'd my lesson thoroughly, for it came
to me iu some shape every week, , ; lead it iu
every novel and newspaper, and iteard from
everylift; The very men who spoke truth and
sense on the subject, sometimes neutralizingit
by.any idle jest in some momentof levity, and
the jest drove out the truth from my- young
heart. At eighteen, I lived only for the igno
ble purpose — l canuctt bear to say—of getting
married; but what could have beeti the ruling
wish of one wfto had been, taught by society
to dread celibacy worse than doe th?-1. - dare
say I betrayed, it everywhere. I . .dare say I
wee - duly laughed at.
At last, quttking on the verge of six-1111d
t wenty; I had iM'effer—a most absurd . one. I
was six years eider than my laver, had ten
times as imph qinse, probably, mme, , t on one
p9tt. I - yit'that ; he was "rather wild," _as
the gentle phrase goes. short, I neither
toyed nor respected him; but I was-willing to
marry him, because then 7 should bo Mrs.
Somebody, and should not be no old maid.
Idy. parents said "No," positively. Or
Course, I thought them unreasonable and cru
el, stud made myself very miserable. Still, it
was something to have "an oiler" of any kind,
and my lips were not hermetically sealed. I
had several confidants, who took care that ° all
my acquaintances should know the comfortable
fact that flatt..refusad Mr. S.
I went On - with increasing uneasiness for a
few years longer, not seeking how to be iisefu'
or trying to find out for what purpose I *as
made., Neither wail Elookitil-for acompanion ,
who could sympatlAzd with my better aspira
tions and elev . aie my - whole character, for I had
no right views of marriage. 'I was simply ga
zing about in angliiiii 7 suspense, upon every
unmarried man of my acquaintance, for one
who would lift me out of that dismal Valley of '
Humiliation ie which I'felt myself deseending.
Had I met Appliyon himself there, with the
question on his lips ' believe 'I should have
said "Yes."
At thirty-six, I wore more pia ribands than
ever, was seen everywhere that a — respectable
woman could go, wondered why girls went in
to company so young,•foundlth it I was grow-
ing sharp faced and sharp spoken, arid was be
coming old-maidish in the worst Sense 'of the
word, because I was becoming an old maid a
gainst my...will. I forgot that voluntary celi
bacy never affects the temper.- '
Sly sisters, be it remembered, were older
him I. They, too, wore single. But they had
lived more domestic lives than I, had road few
er works of fiction, had been cultivating their
own natures, and seeking to mako every body
around them happy. And every body rever.
enced them, and loved to look upon their open
pleasant countenance—l mean every body
wortlipleasing=and they `voce Very happy.
At last.our good poi:ents diod, rind loft each
of us a little independence. Witkinti yoar'l
was muried.
I was married for my monoy. ' That wee ten

AN ADVENTURE.
On-Sunday al ternoon,- during the severest of
the Shower, as we leisurely strolled along Court
street; metlitating upon the advantages of fre
quent July shoWars to young ducks and hay
makers, our eye suddenly foil upon a form of
magnificent proportions just in front of *us,
standing beneath a canvass awning for protec
tion from the rain. We involuntarily stopped.
Before us stood a young and doubtless lovely
female. Her muslin frock was 'of snowy
whiteness, over'which was thrown with nu - air
of genteel eleganer, a blaok silk visite. Upon'
her head -shulwore linre bridal bat encircled by
a wreath oe'orargo blossoms In her white
gloved hand she held a parasol of the newest
style-4 7 and upon a foot of - Cinderella pat4rit;
gracefully fitted a white satin slipper. What,

I threw

distended like those of .a toad under a mush

Why, Oliver,' said my persevering tormen

prevent her, her hartshorn was clapped to my
distended nostrils.
As My meuth was closed importurbably, the
orifices in my nasal organ were at that time my
only breathing places. Judge, then, what a
commotion a full snuff of hartshorn created a-
'rang niy olfactoriesl I bolted for the door,
and a hearty ache-he-heel relieved my pro

disgorged' from my mouth, restored me the

embarrassment by putting a load on my con

DOMESTIC HAPPINESS.
"I shall bring home a new book tb rbad to
you this evening, dear 'Mary," said Edward
Hervey to his young wife, ono afternoon at the
tea table; ‘i we are fairly sottled now, and
can begin to enjoy
,our.homei'l
"Anil you will spend your evenings at
home now; won't you ?" inquired Mrs. , llervey,
with animation.
4, Oh, yes T. I must be gone for an hour or
GO after tea, sometimes; but the long winter
evenings I shall spend at home. lime I—how
sweet that word sounds. It is a long, long
time since Lharo had a home;" and.'new Her
vey's emotion preventedius completing the
sentence. Thoughts of his long years - of or
phanage, his struggles with the world, and
his heart loneliness, contrasted with the pre
sent fruition of all his fond day dreams,
°bolted his utterance—the crystal tear drop
bcditurned his eye—and, rising abruptly, he
loft the room.
The object'of - his choice, the gentle Mary,
was a woman of warm affections, and not ono
of the varying shades of thought which passed
quickly but eloquently, over her 'husband's
countenance, had escaped her notice ; and her
heart swelled with the thought that she was
thus permitted to _bless him whom she loved
most devotedly. She knew she was well.in
structed in those domestic' duties which are
indispensable to home happines : she looked
around on her little domain with the 'satis
faction and pride of an empress.
An hour later, and the; shaded lamp, the
easy cimir.ind slippers, 'the brightly blazing
I fire, tho work basket, and the smiling wife,
presented, to the returning 1:110:find, the fa&
simile of his ideal of a domestic Eden:
"Now for the book," said Hervey, when
fairly 'ensconsed amohg the cushions of his
luxurious chair; and - he proceeded to remove
the wrapper from an elegantly bound volume.
" What have you there 1" said his wife, at
tracted by the beautiful appear:Moo of the
book. "Let me look at it for a moment.'=z—
'Cowper's Poems.' Well, ills very handsome
ly bound ;" and, after carelessly turning .over
the leaves a moment, she returned it to her
husband..
--qifcrvey took"tho book with an undefinable
fooling of disappointment—a half conviction
that ho ought to apologizo for ho know not
Ant.
"I am :anxious to possess the works of all
the standard poets," he at length said, "and
thought we, would read them together this
winter ; and it seemed to Me / Cowper's 'Task'
would be au appropriate beginning. I believe
you like poetry—do you not?" .
"Oh, yes! very muoh," was the reply; "but
why don't you begin to read?"
Hervey commenced reading, and for a time,
his wife seemed 'interested; and her apprecia
ting gitunie,:ne she comMented ion the Poet's
fancies, banished all feelings 'of disappoint,.

Time. passed on. Mrs. Hervey was a pat-.
tern housekeeper, a good wife, and an excel%
1 1
ant mother, so far no all things relating to
Aysical,well being wore concerned. The home
pf the Hcirrey's . was a quiet, well ordered
!souse; but the 'husband and wife were not
mppy. They never quarrelled, but there was
w congeniality of feeling. Mrs. Hervey was
s good housekeeper, and nothing else. •
• Did her husband spend an evening ut - .llolner
ife was entertained with the details of domes
lie manageMent and domestic Areubles ; and,
I,f a more onnoblinetople of conversation was
ntroduced, Mrs.' Hervey was too busy, or"too ,
Imuolt fatigued to listen.
' Gradually, Edward Hervey withdrevi' from
home •to spend his 'hour's alone in his office,— •
With too Much principle to fall into vice, he
ibeoeme a stern, cold man, 'burying his warm
affections so.deep in his own bosom, thatmone
'would dream Judge Hervey could ever love.—
And he believed woman mentally inferior to man. .
._ It took years to effect this • Change; it took;
years to convince the fond husband that, for
his sake, and for, the sake - of" her children, his
wife would not spend her leisure hours in devel
oping, disciplining, and strengthening her'
mind; that she .would not. seek- a. higher. ulna.
in life than - the daily answer to the question
-"Whs. shall
lat el we eat? what, shall we drink?
and Where withal•shall we be clothed?"
_.
13ut she was bound to her idols. To be mis
tress of a well-ordered house, to keep her chil
dren neatly clothed, and to prepare excellent
dinners for her and friends was to her
the sine qua non of existence. Yet, in the hap
py possesSion of these things,. eho was unhap
.py. She knew nothing of that progress the
world - wasmaking, beyond .the - gossip of the
-day, or the ohance'remark-of-her-husband, or
his guests; nor did she care to know. Sho
well knew the uncongeniality of thought which
existed between herself and 'her husband ; but
she-would_make_no effort_ta_lesscar_that dis
tance. She considered herself the aggrieved
party, and looked upon that man who would
not_relinquish_books and intellectual improve,
ments, for the society of his wife andohildren,
as a most selfish specimen of humanity.
And tkus are 'thousands lividg now; out
