The borne of my youth stands in silence and
sadness,
None that tasted its simple enjoyments are
there ;
No longer its walls ring with glee and with
gladness:
No train of blythe melody breaks on the
ear.
The infantile sport in the shade of the wild
self,
The father who smiled at the games of the
ball,
The parent still dearer who watched o'er my
childhood,
Return -tot again at Affection's fond call.
And the garden—fit emblem of youth's fading
flower' o.
No fawn footed urchin now bounds o'er its
lawn,
The young eyes that beamed on its rose col
ored bowers,
Are fled from its arbors—for ever are gone.
Why memory cling thus to life's jocund:
-morning?
Why point to its treasures exhausted. too
boon?
Or tell that the buds of the heart at the dawn

Were destined to wither and perish at
noon
On the past, F ndly musing, oh pause not u

Could we live o'er again but ono bright sun

In the mem'ry of scenes - that have long

Soft Midsummer-Idr, cheery will sunshine
and perfumed with all the scents that it had
robbed out of his nursery garden, crept in

Mr. Swayne granted himself a rule to con
sider in his own mind what the lawyers meant
by their certain phraseology It did not Mean,
he concluded, that Messrs. F. and G. were wil
ling, for ano hundred pounds, to renew the
life of Mr.'Queelis, of Edirioniltop ; but it did
mean that lie must turn out of the honse and
grounds ..(eildch had been Swayno's Nursery
Garden for three generations pest,) unless he
would pay a large fine for the renewal of his
leave. He was-but a young fellow of five and
twenty; who, until recently, had been at work
for the support of atohl father and mother.
His mother had been dead a twelvemonth last
Midsummer day; and his father, who had been
well while his dame was with bini, sickened
after she was gone, and died before the apple
gathering was over. Tho cottage and the gar
den were more precious- to George as a home
than as a place of business. There were
thoughts of parting—like thoughts of anoter
loss by death, or of all past losses again to be
suffered freshly and together—which so cloud
ed the eyes of Mr, Swayne, that at last he
could scarcely tell when-be looked at the let
ter, whether the beo was •or was hot a portion
of the writing. .
An old woman came in, with a Midsummer
cough ; sounding as hollow as an empty coffin.
She was u poor old creature who came - to do

George saw the jtinior, partner, Mr. Grinston,
who told him, when be hoard his business, that
it woo in Mr Flin;'s department. When he
was shown into Mr. Flint's room, Mr. Flint
could on , y repent, he said, the instructions of
the landlord.
" You see, my lad," ho said. these hold
ings, that have been let hitherto for thirty
pounds per annum, are now worth fifty. Yet
my client, Mr. Crote, is ready to renew the
lease for three more .11ves at the very slight
find we have named to you. What would you
bare more reasonable ?"
Sir, I make no complaint,'! George an
swered;-" only I want to abide by the ground,
and I have not so much money as you require.
I owo nobody a penny; did to -pay my way
and lay by enough money for next year's seeds
and roots, has been the most that I oan man

"Well," Mr. Flint suggested, " what do you
eny to this ? I make no promise, but I think
I can persuade Mr. Crete to let you retain
possession of ydur land, for—shall we any?—
two years, at the rate of fifty pounds; and, at:
the expiration of that term, you cony perhaps
be able to pay the fine and renew your lease."
'• I trill accept that Offer, sir." A home
spun man clings to
. the walls of home. Swayne's
nursery would not support so high a rental ;
but let the future take thought for itself—to
postpone for two years the doom to quit the
roof-tree under which his mother suckled him
was gain enough for George.
So he turned homeward and went cheerfully
upon his way by a abort cnt through narrow
stree t ts and lanes that bordered on the Thames.
Ills gardner's eye discovered all the lonely lit
.tle pots of mignonette in the u upper windows
of the tottering old houses ; and in the trim
mer streets, where there were rotes of little
houses'in all shades of whitewash, some quite
f esh-looking, inhabited by people who had
kept their windows clean, lie sometimes saw
es many as four flower pots on silo winduiv
bill. Then, there were the squares of turf,
put, in weekly instalments of six inches, to
the credit of caged larks, fur the slow liqui
dation of the debt of green fields due to them,
There were also parrots; for a large number . ,
of the houses in those streets were tenanted
by sailors who brought birds from abroad.—
There were also all sorts of grotesque shells ;
and one house that receded from its neighbors
had a small garden in front, that was sown
over with shells instead of flowers. The walks
were bordered with shell instead of box, end
there were conches un the wall instead of
wall-flowers. The summer house was a gr,t
it; but the great centre ornament was a large
figure•head, at the foot of which there was, iv
bench erected, so that the owner s t under its
shadow. It represents a man witht a griNv A
beard, holding over his eholder 0 large three-1
pronged foi k.; which Georg , believed to be
meant for Neptune. That was a poor gardell,

that it weir daily dirtior—sis.a aonseious

among the sailors, struggled to gr3w froth seed

That plant excited him greatly;
,and, when 'he
stopped to look in at it, he felt some-such emo
tions as might stir an artist who should see a
work by Rubens hung up in n pawn4woker's
show-window. He knocked at the green door
and a pale girl opened it, holding a pigce of
unfinished needlework. Her palene's left her

whispered to her daughter, who bent fondly
over her
• "Does Barry lore a -flower better than Ire

ry's sister
A long debate wad' carriedlon in low tones,
while George Swayne endeavored to look as
though ho were a hundred mike off, listening
to nothing. But the loving accents of the
girl debating with her mother tenderly, caused
Mr. Swayuc—a stout and true hearted young
fellow of twenty-five—to feel thai. there were
certainly sotne new thoughts and sensations .
working in him. Be considered it important
to discover from her mothe'r's - Manner of ad:
dressing he'r that the flame of the young wo
man was Susan. When the old lady at last
consented with a sigh to George's offer, he
placed ten guineas on the ,table beside the
needlework, and: only stole one glance at Susan
us be bade them good-bye and took the flower
pot away, promising again earnestly that lie
would bring back to them the first good cut
ting that took root.
George Swayne then, having the lawyers
almost put out of his head, carried the plant
home, and duly busied himself in his green•
house over the multiplication of his treasure.
Months went by, during which the young gar
dener worked hard and ate eparingly. :110
had left to himself but five pounds 'for the
general maintenance of his pardon; more was
needed, and that he had to piush, r.; far as he
dared, out of his humble food and other neces
saries of existence. He had, hokever, nothirig
to regret. The cuttings of the flower.belh
throve, and the thought of Susan vas better
to, him than roast beef. Ile did not again
visit the widow's house. He had no right to
go there, until he went te'retleem his promise.
A year went by ; and whei die next July
came, George Stva'yne'e garbeiat and green
houses were in the best condition. The new
plant had multiplied by slips and had-thriven
more readily thou he could have ventured to
expect. The-hest plant was set by until it
should have reached the utmost perfection of

whether the bells that was to sot ringing after
Harry had returned might not bo after all the

S Wayne did sound well, that was ctrtain. Not
that he 'thought of marrying the pale girl,
whose blue eyes he had only seen once; but
he was a young follow,-and he thought about
her, and young 'follows have their fancies
which do now and then shoot out in 'lnnocenti'.
abledirections.
A desired event happened one morning.
The best customer of Swityne's nursery-ground
the wife of a city knight, Lady Salter, who
had a fine seat iii the neighbeihood; alighted'
from her carriage from the garden gate. She
had come to buy flowers for the decoration of
her annual grand summer party ; and George
with much perturbation ushered her into his
green-house, which was glowing with the
crimson and purple blossoms of his new plant.
When Lady Salter had her admiration duly
'heightened by the information that there were
no other plants in all the country like them
—that, in fact, Mr. Swayne's new flowers
were unique—she instantly bought two slips
ht a guinea each, and took them home in tri
umph, Of course the flower-hulls attracted
the attention of her guests ; and of course she
was very proud to draw attention to them.
The result woe that the corriageo of the great
people of the neighborhood so clogged up the
road at SwaYnc's nursery,'day after day, that
'there was no getting by for them. George
sold, for a guinea each, all that ho hid potted;
keeping only enough for the continuance of
his trade, and carefully 'reserving his finest
specimen. That In due time be took to Har
ty's mother.
The ten guineas added to the produce of
;Susan's labour—she had not slackened it ajot
~.had maintained the sickly woman throitgh the
winter ; and, when there came to him a letter
.ine morning in July, in Harry's dear scrawl,
;posted from Porthamouth, she was half restc
i.ed to health. lie would' be with them in a
lay or two, he said. The'two womon listened
f la a feverish state for every knock at the green
door. Next day a knock, came ; but it was'nt
(tarry. Susan again opened to GeorgeBwayne.

George was immediately introduced. The
whole story wns told, and Harry w4,made•n
reference upon the twenty guinea question.
"God bless you, Mr.'Swayne," said Garry,
, dteep that money, if we are to ho friends.—
Give us your hand, my boy ; and, mother, let
us all have something to eat." They made n
little festival that evening in the widow's
house, and George thoughqmore thou ever of
the chlniing of the bells as'Susan laid her
needlework aside to bustle to and fro. Harry
had talcs to tell over his pipe, "and I tell you
what, Swayne," said be, "I'm glad you are
the better for my love of rooting. If I wasn't
a sailor myself, I'd be a gardener. I have it
small cargo of roots and seeds in my box, that
I breught home for mother to try what sbe can
do with. My opinion is that you're the man
to turn them to account : and so, mate, you
shall have 'em. If you get n lucky penny out
of any ono amonrem, you're welcome ; for Re
more than we could do."
how these poor folks" laboured to be liberal
towards each other; how Harry amused him•
self on Intlldays before his next ship sailed,
with rake and spade about his friend's nurse
ry; how George Swaymi spent summer and
winter evenings in the little parlor; how there I
was really, and truly a chime rung from Step
ney's steeple to give joy to:a little needle-wo
man's heart ; how Susan Swayne became much
rosier than Sum] Ellis had been; how Flint
and Grindston conveyed the nursery,ground
to Mr. Swayne in freehold to him and his heirs
for ever, in consideration of the whole pur
chase money which Swayne had accumulated ;
how the old house was enlarged ; how, a year
or two later, little Harry Swayne damaged the
borders, and wan abetted by grandmother Ellis
in so doing; bow, a year or two After .that,
Susan Swayne, the lesser, dug with a small
wooden spade side by side with giant Uncle
Harry; who was a man to find the centre of
the earth under Swnyne's garden when he came
horde ever and anon. from beyond the seas,
with roots and seeds, his home being Swayne's
nursery; and, finally, how happy and nice
a home the house in Swnyne's nursery grew
to he—these are results connecting pleasant
thoughts with the true story of the earliest
cultivation in this country of the flower now
known rs the Fuschin.—Household Words.
MT FIRST SHAVE. 0
I shall not very soon forget my first share.
I was but fifteen, tall, had a • girl,' and felt
myself m
I was taunted with fact that I was very at
tentive to a certain ycung lady and yet woe a
mere beardless hoy. My.pride was wounded.
and I determined that the accusation should
not be a trite bill.
?/1 month's saving of pocket money secured
mo a razor, a brush, and the "•fi yens." The
latter was till correct ; but the man took me in
by selling me that razor. It had the name of
" Rogers, Sheffield," upon the glittering blade
bet it is my firm belief that it should have
borne the name of "Snooks, Philadelphia ;"
and that it was manufactured from nn old iron
hoop. My - Ain was as fair and smooth as that
'tin infant. On a certain day I stole up in
my chamber, locked the door,. and prepar
ed for the razorical triumph. Collar and
cravat (Were, removed; the lather was mode
and applied to my face. So fir so good. Then
came the razor's duty. For many days previ
ous I had been studious of barbers shops,
end now I imagined that the mystery of the hair
scythe was mine. Scratched? No heir came,
hut I thought the akin did. However; the
Inthet• woe suclessfully remove,: from the one
side of my ftt . ce, and to my exceeding great
joy, n few hairs 'were perceptible without n
microscope.
Suddenly just as I was engaged in scraping
the point of my chin, some one rapped at the
door, and alarmed My hand into a jerlc--n
gash saw cut where the hair should film been
—the razor fell, and in n.few seconds, the
lather and blond were mingled over my face
and in my mouth. The:cut was severe. I was
boy enough lo call out for pain, and thus-the
tabby was permitted to flee from the bag.—
'" Whiskers," became my nickname for years
after. '

THE HEART'S WISII
The Mart once spoke to the Reason, saying,
"Tishard to he shut up with theo-nlone,
Who always in thy wisdom art arraying
Causes why I Ehould yet remain unknown.
Always with distrust we look on those
Whose hprts ore by their reason solely
guided ;
And nrtlessness, naevery person knows,
Is dearly loved, wuilo caution is derided.
"Gist , me but liberty apart from thee.
And of thy radianeuseeing not-the light,
Awhile to roam, and in my fancy free,
Viewing all things as beautiful and bright."
Take then thy wish, tho' but too well I know;
That thou had'st better far have never made
it;
For passing time will euroly to me show
How lightly on thee my monitions sit."
Thus Ren&apoke, and gravoly, as she ought,
Bowing her bead before the joyous Heart ;
With the swift pinions of heroffspring Thought,
She sped away, as from a bow the dart.
Far through the world, so fickle, false and cold,
The loving, trusting . Hearrlicrjourney made:
Yet found thlt "all that glitters is net gold."
And friendship rare as sunflowers in the
shade.
Then tearfully to Reason back she came,
Who, smiling, opened wide her mail-clad
arms,
And said: ‘• Dear Heart, the past to mo the
. same
Shall be, to counsel thee 'and quiet thy
alarms."

Now, I suppose you think, becluse you nev
er see me do anything but feed and sleep, that
I have a very nice time of it. Let me tell you
that you are mistaken, and that I am tormen
ted half to death, though t never say anything
about it. How should you like every morning
to have your nose washed up instead of down?
How shoal() you like to haven pin put through
into your skin, and have to boar it all day'un
til your clothes were taken off at night? How
should like to be held so near the tire that your
eyes were half scorched out of iour head ,
while the nurseiwa; rending a novel? How
should like to have a great fly upon your nose
and not knew how to take aim at .him, with
your little fat, useless fingers?Apty„ . should
you like to Ile left alone in thefiliOm to take a
nap, and hare a great pussy jump' into your
cradle and MC:staring at 'you vigil' her great
green eyes, till you were all of a tremble—
flow shouil you liko to reach out your hand
for the pretty bright candle,. and find out that
it was away anoss the room, instead of close
by? How should you like to tire yourself out
crawling away across the cornet, to pick up a
pretty-button or pin, and hare it snatched it
way ass .nn ns you begin to enjoy it? I tell
you it is enough to ruin,,nny baby's temper.—
How should you like to have your mamma stay
at a party till you were as hungry as a little
cub, and bo left to the mercy of the nurse, who
trotted you up and down till every bone in
your body ached? How should you like when
your mamma dressed you up all pretty to take
the nice, fresh air, to spend the afternoon With
your nurse in some smoky kitchen, while she ,
gos Sips with some of her cronies? How should
you like to submit to have your toes tickled by
all the little children Who insisted upon "see

a dreadful pain under your apron, and have
~9verpbody call you "a littlecross thing," when
you couldn't speak to tell what was the mat

THE OLD CIDER MILL' AND THIEF.
"11orvcver, lorns pause over It. and lake It down
lowly, as the hays do the ylpplas to the orchard."
Thcro are memories come clustering about
less "boys" these "pippins" and "the -or-
lard." Do you remember the old Cider mill
friend 111argine, and the old horse as he travel
ed round and round, moving et slow and dig
nified tread,"hitched" to the long lever Oft
turns the wooden mill, that crushed the apples
into pumice! Do you remember the great
• cheese' in its bandage of straw beneath the
press, and how, when the great waive were
turned in the massive gnllows-shaped frame,
the rich juice of the apple came gushing out .
and running into the great tub placed to re
ceive it ? Do you remember bow, with a straw,
the Urchins, as they came along on their way
borne from school filled themseles with sweet
cider from the bu of the barrel ?• Do yen
remember how, in the long winter nights you
sat around the fire place, wherein logs were
blazing. and how the pitcher of cider, and the
platter of doughnuts were placed upon the old
cherry table that set out in the middle of the
kitchen, and how you helped yourself to the
cider and the doughnuts, and how happy each
ono was as he sat with hie pewter mug of cider
in one hand and a doughnut in the other, be
fore that old-fashioned kitchen fireplace?
These were pleasant itimes. But they nre
memories now. And then the apple parings
or " bees," as they were called, when yoting
men and maidens came together to pare apples,
and talk and laugh, and play old-fashioned
plays, and say soft things to one another, and
eat pumpkin pies, and be happy after the
fashion of the country people when you and I
were young. Primitive times those were,
Margins, and our proud daughters and city
dames would turn up their noses hugely wete
they to be present at an old-fashioned apple
bee, such as they used to have out in old Steu
ben when the country was new, and the
fashionS were primitive.
We remember, when we were young, there
was a. favorite tree in our father's orchard
which bore choice winter apples. It was
called the big tree, because it was the . 11trgettt
In the orchard. The fruit of this tree was (a
rrays left until the last, and was gathered with
great care. There was a worthless fellow
living in the neighborhood who one year cov
eted a portion of the fruit on the " big tree,"
and was not deterred from its acquisition by
the divine commandment, "thou shalt not
steal." A quantity of the apples disappeared
one night, and the tracks of whoever stole
them bail a strange resemblance to those made
by the heelless boots of our dishonest neigh
bor. There were two inseparable friends cn
the old homestead in those early days.; the
ono a " colored gentleman," by the name of
I shadrach, who came to our father's possession
in payment for a debt; and who ran away
regularly two or three times a year, and then
as regularly ran back again, just as his mantel'
began to indulge the hope that he had got rid
of him for good. The other was a great thig,
half mastiff and half bull, of a noble presence
and fettt.les.l courage. •• Drive" and "Shad

• One chilly night in ()ember, Shadr•dch and
Drive bad been out along the cornfields on an
unsuccessful Coon hunt. On their return the
dog dashed off through the orchard, end in a
minute or two commenced barking, and Shad
'ltch of course supposed he had treed a coon,
on ono of the fruit trees. Nov, Slrolrtich had
ati abiding faith in spirituel manifestations,
and stood in mortal fear of the " gentleman in
black," and all manner of spooks in general.
Upon arriving at the big tree, by the foot of
which Drive sat, and looking up among the
branches, he saw there in the darkness a great
black object, with something which seemed
like a winding sheet in its band. Shadrach's
hair begot to uncurl as ho looked, and halloo- '
ing 'seek him' to Drive, broke like a quarter

exclaiming, "Masse, Mrysa! Drive got do

, .

A torch was lighted, and upon going 'into
the orchard, there sat, our thierish.,neighbor
among the branches, with a bog half tilled with ,
the coveted fruit. Our father said not a word
to him, but after giiing Sitadrach -dertalu•
di
rections, returned quietly to the house. Old :••
"Shadrach" laid his jacket doste by the roots
