Miriam was a happy creature—our
' I mean. A keen -- 'wit, - n - good - mind, a pure,
generous heart, were hers. I see bpi new ;
her round;' rosy - cheek, her large nitrous'
eyes, her cherry mouth, with the sweet dimple
on either side, add 'where smiles were con
stantV;re.stling, but whie - could most „ex
pressively curl and pout when it wished to.
I-feria:ugh was peculiar. It would bubble and
gush, and then roll and 'echo, like-the-sound
of a brook among mountains ; and in the
midst of-her hilarity she would clap her hands
and dance, as though the pulse of her heart
beat as good a timbrel as did Miriam of old.
-Miriam was a splendid specimen of health.
.She never feared exposure; and all that the
storm-got when it beat against berin its wild-
est fury, when duty brought,' her out with its
power, was a good ringing laugh, as a tinkling
brook goes singiiig on its way, while the winds
roar, and the thunders mutter amid the dark
clouds.. Miriam loved labor. Hew she would
-work I - To- ate her roll up- her sleeves, -and
stand up to the task, was to see a valiant
spirit that could, ho grand llnywhere ; • and
when you looked again, and s4 ° v the task per
formed it seemed as though a ahem had
passed oi r- dr the place, end that oho bad won
to her aid the fairies in which she devoutelly
believed. My admiration increased when I
discovered that the part of the day that now
and then was granccd to her was always spent
ix toil Tor her mother, and not till the.old lady
was "as nice as a pin" in everything about
-home would she sit an hour with her lover, or
indulge in a stroll.
Miriam dearly loved a stroll, way round the
burying ground, where the pities lived—the
little, blabk, powerful wizzardy creatures that
carried off faithless maidens, and were some
how benefactors to the good. On a dark night
you could see them like 'tire flies, flitting pith•
er nod thither; but woo to the maiden who
disdained them ;, for they would bedome ugly
bats, then . staring owls, and then terrible
giants, -with eagles wings ! Miriam dearly
loved tincpixies, and thought they —wore just
right. Slic . never looked more sober than
when I laughed at her zeal. in their behalf,
and I never repeated it. Everybody hoe their
'superstition and this was Miriam's.
DENT. DARBY
But not only wherethieolass of the fairies
lived did our friend love to stroll. • To her
the rocks by the ocean alter() were grand ; and
she would play with the waves as things whose
very strength was a delight, whose foam was
the perfection of beauty ; and her ringing
laugh would sound like a cry of delight, amid
the rattle of the stones that rolled down Willi
the returning billow..-Standing in the ,ixtoen-?

upon her breast, and look up With : an expres

few knew was awakened within her, shining
there as stars, scarce' visible, yet exerting a
beautiful influence on "the attempered mind,"
She was a happy creature, and never did
sunlight dane,o over the morning hill=tops more
brightly than laughter sported on her face at
our last meeting. It was the bloom of fruit
to ripe to the core.
Miriam was at service' in a family I well

Among the many who were "attentive" to
Miriam, were William and Harry, whose sire

end might not prove poetioiil enough for th •
times. William was one'of your spruce, dainty,
always nice and particular creatures, who
seem always fixed up for the occasion. One
clagnerreo'ype would represent his appearance
for years. He was the same in manners—
smooth, precise, polished, and gentlemanly.
Miriam liked that. It suited her sensibilities
and taste. She-said that when she looked at

Only a living joy in the midst of the whole
company,, but she found her heart pondering
on what choice would be a living joy to her.—

anxiety than Harry's, till he was found. When

secretly an oak wreath on her head; she could

till she found carved on the bevelled end of the

That night; 3liriam s clinics was made; and

her mistress if she km,ew Harry now.,
" Yes," was the reply . I know him as
'Miriam's choice.
LUXURIOUS RISSING DESCRIBED
Almost any writer can describe emotions of
joy, anger, fear, doubt, or hope ; but there
aro very feiv who can give anything' like an
adequate description of the-exquisite, heaven
ly, and thrilling joy of warm,' affectionate
hissing.. We copy below, three of tho best
attempts that we have ever seen. The first is
by a young lady, during her first year of court
ship :
"'Let thy arm twine
Around me like a zone, of love,
And thy fond lip, so soft,
To mine be passionately pressed,
As it has been so oft." ,
The next is by n lady shortly after Ler en
gagement. It will readily seen - that her
powers of description aro far in advance of
the oue's.quoted above:
SWeetest love,
Place thy dear arm beneath my drooping head,
And let me lowly nestle ou thy heart;
Then turn those soul,-ljt orbs on me,tand Tress
My parting lips to taste the eostacy
Imparted by each long and lingering kiss.".: •
But the best thing.tve have seen, is the fol
lowing, by Alexander SMith. Wo think, how
ever, that when a man so freely indulges in
osculatory motor as .to imagine hp is "Walk
ing on thrones," he should be choked off.—
Hear him:
" My soul, leaped up bonenth thy timid kiss ;
What then to mo were groans,
Or pain, or • death ? Barth was a round of
• bliss ; •
I seemed to walk on thrones."

The last number of Blackwood's Magazine
contains a ohapttir on minor morals. In the
course - of-his speculations, the writer takes up
the subject of hypocrisy, and alludes to a par
ticular kind, which. ho 'denounces as truly
loathsome. It is that of the ,cold-blooded
foituno' hunter, who, having no foitune of his
own, or having squandered it, aspires'to make
his fortune by a matrimonial alliancO. FOols
very 'often entertain this idea, and in then:lit
is less disoreditablo ; for; notbeing gifted with
any strong perceptions, they merely follow. an
indolent impulse, assume 210 false foatbres
beyond the appearance of a stupid admiration,
and, j,q nine cases out of ten, would bo tolera

means a' bad 'hearted - fellow ; besides, as ho
cannel by - any Josslbility - didguisa his folly,
the lady haS herself to blame. :But the case
-of the - clover - fortune - hunter - is different; Ile

GOOD-BYE.
Tho, editor of tho Albany Register comments
thus upon this simple word, so common and
yet so full of solemn and tender meaning :
" How many emotions cluster around that
word. How full of sadness, and to; us, how
full of sorrow it sounds, It is with us a con
' secreted word. Wo heard it onoo within the
year, as we hope never to hear, itagnin. We
spoke it on an occasion, such as wo'hope never
to speak it agajn. It was in the chamber of
death at the still hour of night's nooh. The
curtains to the windows were all closed, : the
lights were shaded, and wo stood in the dim
and solemn twilight, with others, around the
bed of the dying. The danips of death wore
on her pale young brow, and ooldness'was on
her lips, as kissed her for the last time While
living. "Good bye, my daughter," we whis
pered, and °Good bye, fath,4.," came faintly
from her dying lips. Wo know not if she
over spoke more, but " Good-bye " was the
last wo over heard of Ler sweet' voice. We
hoar that sorrowful word often, and ofteid, as
wo eit aloud, busy'with the memories of : the
'past. ' We hear it in the silence of the night,:
in the hours .of nervous wakefulness, as we
lay upon our bed thinking of the' loved and
he lost to us, We hear it in our dreams,
when her sweefface . comes back to us, as it '
was In its loveliness and beauty. We hear it
when,wo sit beside her grave in the octintery
where she sleeps, alone, with .no kindred as
yet tf, her side. Shs. wag the herd of our
life, the prop upon which:to lean when ago
should come upon Ul3, and bo
running -to its dregs. Thu hope and the pt 4
is gone, and wo care not how soon we go down
to Bleep beside our darling, beneath theshadow
of the tree's in the city of the dead,"

panion, whose pallid face indicated that ho
was very sick, tho'result of .somo juvenile in.

'LAVE YOU GQT A BABYI
Here is, a delicious little paragraph from
the Boston Post—" A bachelor friend of ours
was riding a day or two ago through Athol, in ,
this State, when ho overtook a little girl and
boy, qpimirantly on their way to sohool. The
little girl appeared to be five or six years old.,
end was as beautiful as a fairy. .I.ler eyes
were lit up with a gleam of intense happirieesi
and her checks glowed with - tho hues of health.
Our bachelor looked at her a moment admir- .
ingly. She mot his glance with a smile, and
with an eager voloo..saluted him with, Bare
you gat a baby ?' Ho was struck aback. by
the question, and something like a rogretstele
over his mind as he looked upon the animated
and beautiful little face before him. 'No,' he
answerel she replied, drawing her
tiny form proudly we have,' and passed
on, still smiling, to tell the joyous news to the
next ono ehe might meet. What a world' "of
happiness to her was conoentratolin, that one
idea—the baby 1 And in her joy sho felt as
if all must have thb same delight asherself ;
and it was a matter of affectionate pride to
her that lifted her Bale heart above the roach
of ordinary envy, for in the baby was her
world(, and what Cloe bad she to crave? Such
was the, reflection of our friend, and he re
membered it long enough to toll it to us yes-'
terday in State street."
MAKING THE BEST OF IT.—The editor of the
Clinton Courant has been on to New York and
purchased a poetry pen that won't write "any

FIDDLING TO A 111311.
• ,
We aro gravely told that a teller of Al!erten,
near Livorpoel. some years ago;being pursued
by a furious look, up his' fiddle and
played him a time." Tho tailor was returning
at about three o'clock on a summer 'morning
from a party, whore he had boon playing jigs
and country dances. As ho was crossing a
field, ho was attacked by a After sot.
oral efforts to escape,' says the narrative,
'attempted to ascend ' tree ; , not, however,
succeeding in the attempt, a momentary im
pulse directed him to pull out his :fiddle, and,
foitiyfylni hiniself behind the tree as, wellies
ho could; begarr4O - play;'upon Which the en
raged animal became totally, distirmed of his
ferocity, and seemed to listen .with groat at
tention. The affrighted - tailor, finding hielor
midable-enemy so much appeased,.began to'
think of making his escape, left off playing
and was moving forward. This, however, the
bull would'not suffer; for no ebonor had the
tailor ceased hid fascinating strain, than the
bull's anger appeared to return , with as much
rage as before ; he, therefore, was glad to have
recourse a second time to his fiddle, which' in
stantly operated ogain as a magic 'charm upon
the bull, who became as composed and atten
tive as'beforo. Ho afterwards made several
more attempts to escape, but all in vain ; for
no sooner did ho stop hiSfiddle.thatt_the bull's
anger returned, so that . ho was compelled to
keop e fiddliniaway till near six o'clock, (about
threehours,) when the family came to fetch
home the efts, by which ho was relieved and
rescued from a tiresome labor and frightful
situation." .
Now, the explanation given of this pherbm
enon of the subjugation of a Imp by a violin,
is as curious tip the story itself, and sliosi
how, this partiplar.bull conside'red that to be
of
_Weight,. to (which othor..,bulls. would have
said, "fiddle stick's end I"
The man, it seems, lodged at the farm-house
where the bull was kept, so that if not on in
timate terms, they were no Btrang ere to each
other. The bull, it will appear, acquired .a
love for muaio under very
.oircum
_
stabees.
"The -tailor frequently ,played upon• the
fiddle in_the evening, to amuse the fatally • he
had observed the bull ('who always attended
thd . cows home to be milked) constantly en..
deavored to get as near ne- - p,ossible to that
part of the * lttuse where 1M happened to be
playing, and• always appeared, to listen with
the greatest attention, which fortunately struck
him with the idea of having recourse to his
fiddle, and, in all probability, preserved his
life!"
WOMEN AND
- In the days of our_fathers, there were such
things_to be met with as mon and women—but
now they are all gone; and in their place a
race of gentlemen and ladies, or, to be still
more refined, a race of " ladies and gentle
men," has sprung up. Women and girls are
among the things. that . wore. 'But "ladies"
are found overyivhere. Miss MartinMiu, wish
ing to see the women wards in a prison in
Tehnessee, was answered by the warden, "Wo
have no ladies hero at present, madinc."—
Now, so far as the ladies were concerned, it
was very well that none of them were in
prison; but then, it sounds a little odd—ladies
in prison ! It would seem bad enough 'for
women to go to such - a place;
A lecturer, discoursing upon'the character
istics of women, illustrated thus : " Who wore
last at the cross 4. Ladies. Who wore the first
at the sepulchre ? Ladies." On the modern
improvement, we have heard of but ono thing
that beats the ,above. It was the finishing
touch to a marriage ceremony, performed by
adexquisite.divirie
,up to all modern refine
ments. When he had thrown ;the chain of
Hymen around the happy couple, he conclu
ded by saying, "1 pronounce you husband
and lady." The audience stuffed their hand
kerchiefs into their mouths, and got out of the
reckon quickly as possible, to take breath:
BEGIN RIGHT.-If you are about to do • a
piece of work you will 'be careful to begin
right, otherwise you will have to take it in
pieces, nail do It over again. If you are going
on a journey \ you will be_ careful at first to go
into tho right road; for if you start Wrong,
you will lie continually going farther and far
ther out of the way.
NoW;you aro starting in the way of life,'
and life is a journey. If you start wrong, as
I said, you will bo all tho time , going out of
the way. You have a life-work to do ; but if
you begin it wrong, all your labor will be
worsts than lost. Not only will you liate to
do it all over again, but to undo what you havo
dono.
