IVIFE AND CHILD
==!
I dream; my gentle wire is near,
A girlish figure, Final' and slight,
Say, shell I sketch her pi !Lure, ere
She passes out of sight?
More is no beauty ettungo and rare,
Fashioned by rapturous poet's.rule—
All hearts might deem her very fair,
And not one, beautiful.
Not beautiful to painters'eyes,
Because her noblest beniity lies
Not in her,features' faultless grace,
But the sweet meaning of her face.
A look or patient "gentleness
On lip
. 441 brow serenely lies,
And oh; n'world or tenderness
Shines softly in her tender eyes !
Her lips-l -to tne no ''rose•beds wet"
One half 1311 benutifol could be—
I love them that they never yet
Spoke one unloving word to me
There is it sweet end nameless grove
Floating around her form and Mee—
The beauty of a lofty 130111 •
plumes nod beautifies the whole.
And when the tiresome day is done,
And the sweet evening time comes on,
And wearied out with toil and care
I sink into my study•chair,
closing my eyes to curtain out
The vexing shades of fear and doubt—
A tiny foot, with noiseless glide,
Conies stealing softly to my side—
Bright curls mlown my shoulder twine,
And little fingers hide in mine—
'Arid gentle tones salute my ear
With.wfordo of sympathy and cheer.
Oh ! I could meet, with dauntless heart,
The stietikt, darkest ills ofJife,
With - such a . k4rditin no thou art;
own 'beloved wife!
My child! my darling bright-haired boy?
A hapry laughter loving sprite,
Whose heart in Mirth,' whose life is joy,
Undimmed by shade cr blinht,'
He him his mather's curls of gold,
Ills laugh has just her ringing tone,
And in his features I behtld
The scalped likeness of my own.
And gazing, oft I wander back
Along my boyhood's flowery track,'-
I room again beside the stream,
I see again themmtersr-gtmun, •
And See or seem to see,
My face reflected back to we!
My wife, my child, my nil on earth!
Oh! what were life bereft of them?
Beside their lore, how little worth
Seems glory's brightest diadem !
My wife and child ! these are the charms
IVltich make me cling to earth ;-1 rise
To circle them in love's fond arms,
And in the nct—unclose my eyes,
Where, where am 1? rind Wilt re are they ?
Alas! the dream has passed away—
". sit here in my darkened room,
Ay, all alone— no wife—no child—
A daydream huh my heart beguiled.
Alas! that airy fancy's sway
Should play such roguili tricks with me!
My wife and child,—.l sigh to any,
Are yet—it las l—are yet to be!

THE vouriG.mirsicil,N;
Or, the Stethoscope,
Mary Cameron at eighteen wan as charming
n little coquette as over flutterned along the
road of IA and the more so because she was
unconscious OS fl butterfly of her innocent
failing, end played off the some wilful airs and
winnitig graces wisest no ono was by thnt some
women adopt in a theatre and practice in a
hall room.
Of course we do not mean by co'qu'ille, to
signify that she was ono of that odious class of
beings, male qr female,•who play with hearts
for the pleasure of breaking them, and holding
up the fragments for time world's admiration.,
No;' Mary was incapable 'of this. There wits
nothing artificial or studied about ,her ; she
was always the some-; she came into the world
a bewitching coquette, and looked it in her
nurse's arms; and if the people would fall in
love with her Sweet face, and be fascinated by
her winning manners, she could no more dis
figure herself,'Or move a wkardly and ungrace
fully, than she could return the mmtbursts of
affection constantly offered up f . ,0 her accept 7:

gry tone. ' But, no, he niFilir could. Did he
come in when sho was rending some mournful

before ho ootild ' frame a sentence; did lit
watch her aloile in the gat don, she was flitting

and there was sonic recess within; where love
and sympathy were lurking, could ho but find
the spell that should open it. And in this
faith he persisted, sure . of'On ally in Aunt Lu
cy, who desired nothing better than to see her
sweet Mary ne worthy doctor's wife. And
this the excellent old lady believed she would
finally become; for though all the maiden
(lies of her acquaintance positively asserted
that Mary was evidently born to ho one of
them, and the married were sure that, accord
ing to the vulgar phrase, she would find' a
crooked stick at last, there Was no convincing
Aunt Lucy of any danger. Mary was rather
young and wild, but all would be well some
day; and so the pretty maiden lived in the
sunshiny life, and Frederic's problem of 'does
she love me or not?' was as fur from being
solvddae ever.
There wee a secondary Motive for Aunt
Luey'swish to see Mary united to Frederic,
and this was, the desire of having a medical
'nun in_the family, with whom she could hold
as ninny consultations as she might deem ad
visable.
It is the Weakness of a certain class of peo
ple to fancy themselvess ill, or, if they are in
,ue;1 1 evident good health the assertion is too
broad to be believ'ed, they have always symp
toms on hand pot tending some frightful and
imminent disease. Now this weakness, it must
be owned, was A4int Lucy's; but, in her else,
it was not parried to soy very . disagreeable
pXCPE.f. it - was a harmless one, which all her
friends 'gave into, partly because it awoke in
her a greater amount of sympathy for the
sufferings of others, which she always prefer
red alleviating, even to expatiating on her
own.
have every sympton of a severe attack of
jiundice, my dear Mrs. Smith,' she would say
to an inquiring friend ; 'but at my age you
know I must expect that kind of thing. Now
pray sit down and tell me all about the dear
childrerr.
To do Aunt Lvcy justice, she never went
beyond the symptoms, either in theory or
practice; but, if you could believe her, •she
had suffered from those of every disease under
the min. However, the delusion was rather
ammingthan otherwise, as it only led her to
say—'The year I expected to have the small
pox,' or, , the summer I was so nearly -laid up
with the scarlet fever.'
Having run the gauntlet of every other mal
ady, Aunt Lucy hod now ofirm conviction
OM she was about to fall a victim to OCll
sumption, the chief basis of the ide'a• being
-that-her appetite was excellent.
Mary gently laughed at her fears; Frederic
promised the-very-next-timo-he-enme-to-put
her mind nt rest:, by giving her good proof
dick.° was nothMg the matter with her lunge;
and Aunt Lucy herself remarked, in her usual
placid way, that they meant it for the best,
but at her ego what could she expect? So
k'rederib departed, and returned the following
week, bringing with him his friend Leicester,
and a stethoscope in his pocket.

Honor to the talent tli it invented it! woo to
the heart whose parting pang it has hastened I
The trial of Aunt Lucy's rtinl my was n con
vincing one ; both Fred and Leicester declared
there tins 'no disease or probability of disease.
Lven then bewover Aunt Lucy's nerves seemed
little shaken, though she pronounced her
recovery 11 , miraculous ono, the more so -ne an
uncle of her brother's wife Lad died of eon
euMption, and therefore it ni!lght be considered

'Let me offer ynu my arm,' said Leicester,

Aunt Lucy accepted the invitation, and they
left the room. Frederic turned, apparently
with the intention of following them, when he
was arrested by Mary, who laid her hand up ,
on his arm. 'Stay a moment, Mr. Staunton,'
she said, 'what did you menu just now I''

matter, it is impossible there should be,' he
adedd hastily
'Mr. Staunton,' said Mary, placing the ste
thesonpe in his hand, JI entreat you to try

- Ile no longer attempted to resist; leading
her gently to a sofa, he seated her, and mos
teringdhe lover's emotion, tried to look and

moving her dress aside, he Pinned the steth

ehernisette, and again listened for the result.
It was but for,n moment; sprim;ing up he flow
to the' window. 'Leicester! Leicester!' he
cried.
In an instant- the young man stood beside
him. Pointing to platy with one hand Fredric
gave him the stethicope with the other ; he
did not attempt to speak, ho oould not. Lei

Mary sat awatiog him; perfecitri,im.. but
very pale. Her eyes :were fixed on Fredric's
.face,—as-if-she-nought-to-read her doom there;
her two hands were crossed over each other
anti clasped on her heart, as if to still Its hur
ried beating.
'Come and see if it is true,'-said Mary in a
whispered voice, when
,Loicester drew near;
and still she looked at Fredric.
The unhappy young man stood beside his
friend holding his breath in an agony of sus
pence and dread, while
,he watched his every

Leicester knelt down by her side and fixed
the stethe•cope. As he did this he could hear
the beating of the heart beneath the small
white hands that so bravely sought to quiet it.
Ile placed his ear upon the Met iloBCope. lie

he could have numbered the .dojs flint:

feeling of sorrow for the fair young creature
doomed to die no soon, he dropped the instru

Fredric caught his arm and looked into his
face.. The big manly drops rolling front his
eyes told hint more thlin his heart could have
done; with a bitter groan he saillt upon a seat
and covered his face with his hands.
'llr. Leicester,' said Mary, 'go book to the

Verry solemn and sad was the converse of
the' o two lovers, who, as it seemed stood - on
the brink of an open - grave; and there for the
first time understood and opened there hearts
to . each other. The portrals of eternets yawn:
ea before the fair young girl, and gave seri
ous, earnest tone to her 'answering word of
love. She seemed to Fredric like act angel
visiting on earth, enveloped as she was by the
mistery of the naming change ; and holy and
pure as an angel's was the sail whose inmost
depths he was permitted to explore.
There was uo cold coquettish concealment
now; one by one the treasured . memories of
long hidden love were called up to oons'elo him
hereafter, when she should not be prerent;
words, not forgotten by her, though he bad
deemed unheeded, were recalled and repeated,
—though _fair as the lips that spoke them re
vealed the pure maiden love she had so long
concealed ; and when this bursting heart pour
ed forth its earthly regret 4, she spoke to him
of heaven, led him to look upward beyond the
present, and to rejoice in the olotious future
of another world, while every tear she drop
ped fell not for the months of pain, the sleep-.
less nights the lonely:pang of death she was to
endure, but for him, for his solitude of heart
and home, for the long wearied trial of his be
reaved spirit. If one thought of self-love min
gled with her grief for him, it was lent the day
should come, when her place being filled up in
hiS heart and home should be forgotten ; but
she did nut wound him' with the doubt, hilt
stifled it to he recalled and wept over when a
lone in her chamber.
Sights and sounds - of every-day life came to
rouse, them from their desolate thoughts.—
How they - jarred on their excited nerves 1—
Aunt Lucy soot to summon them to tea-in an
other room. The servant who delivered the
message setting down a lighted lamp, procee
ded to close the shutters. As she crossed the
room she stumbled over the unhappy cause of
all their woe, and little thinking of the renew
al of Misery the mere sight of it occasioned,

kin had been doing penance in amusing Aunt
Lucy with commonplace talk for the last two
hours. Ito .dreaded to see his poor friend,
yet longed to say some word of sympathy, and
if possible or consolation. file courage failed
him when ho looked at Fredrio and Mary ; ae
he could not speak he turned to the table to
bide his emotion. Ile stood there a few min
utes, nervously playing with the stothscope,
trying to swallow something that rose to his
throat and choked his utterance.
They watched hhn with a sad but quiet smile,
they understood why he' was endeavoring
thus to amuse himself, and Fredric was going
to spealeto him, when ho was stopped by Lei
ceeter who shiuted, 'Como here, Fred I lOok
here—it is all a mistake l',
, What are you talitiag about, -Leicester?
•The stethoscope!' exclaimed Leicester.—
.This paper
'{Sell; what of it?' interrupted Fredric.
'I found, the paper inside it,' replied Leices
tert7-'iuside the stethobeape. We were de
ceived—the sound deceived us.'
They were beside hint as he spoke; they
saw the paper ho. i,ad drawn out: they under
stood it was a false alarm, that Mary was not
to die, that the misery of the last 'two hours
had vanished like a dream.
There are words ,In the human tongue which
can paint sorrow and woe, for they are of the
earth; but no language can deseribo the ever
lloiving happiness of such a mbinent.as this.
At last they remembered Aunt Lucy, whose
scientific investigations had probably occasion
ed all their recent sulferings, and who was
being punished for her involuntary fault by a
prospect of cold tea. Rut this she ceased to
deplore when Fredric brought Mary to her
and claimed hef 'blessing for his promised
bride. And when they recounted all thitt had
transpired, she altertntely wept and laughed
with them, for they were all very tenilul' to
gether during the happy evening that follow
ed..
It is posalhle that had it been in the power
of Mary sho would have gladly'imeall'ed some f
her tender cotifessions, and placed a little res•
ervation on the entire surrender of her heart;'
but it was to' late; Pred'had heard all; and he
would not, forget a single word, or' allow . one
exPresison to be modified;' but thou ho was so
grateful for het' love, so proud 'of it, that any
lurking regret oho might have felt was quickly
vanished.
And' now. when years of happiness have
proved to each . other's worth, and deeds oT
lore hgvo testified the 'truth of evgy word

blesses tlie fortunate accident that transform

THE LOVE STORY--iCoulluTOed:
A few weeks ago we copiod from the N. Y.
Spirit of the Times, a humorous poem, entitled
'• Lovo Story," in which tho lovers finally,

of the story appears in the Cooperstown paps
which is too good to loss. The last line ol•t
the story mist—lle said, "shunt we, my
dear?" and they shantiedl The continuation
goes on:

THE CORN GRUB
We direct the attention of our friends to the
following remarks on the Grub, some seasons
so very destructive to the corn. We request
farmers to try the remedy, and apprise us of
the result. The article is from the editor of
the Germantown Telegraph :
On many farms the common and destructive
corn girth is more numerous than on othErs ;
or, more properly speaking, certain lands are
more subjected to it than others. This pest
sometimes thetroys whole fields of corn, after
it is up an inoh- or two, cutting it off just
above
.the ground, and dragging it partially
into their holes. Many a one we have de
stroyed while at Re work of destruction-, and
many a hill of 'corn have we replanted that
had been entirely destroyed by it. ,
Latterly, however, several remedies have
been found by which the young plants may be
protected against its depredations; the most
effectual of which, tici‘knr es our actual knowl
edge extends, is in applying "plaster," to mix
one pert of fine salt with it: that is, to three
parts of plaster, add one of salt; apply about
one' tablfiepoonzfdll to" each 'hill, taking care
that the mixture does not come in contact with
the young corn, or the salt will injure, if not
destroy it.
This has been found to boa sure protection.
Fields that were treated in this way, in alter
nate rows, - proved;' - that — while not a grub was
to be found in the salted rows, the others were
'seriously affected by them. •
It is true, there is some extra trouble atten
ding it, as care must be taken in applying the
mixture, yet what farmer has ever succeeded
in raising any large crop, on which extra care
has not been bestowed
We advise our friends to try this remedy
the present month—on a portion of their fields.
Apply only to alternate row's, and let us know
the result next month. It will then come
fresh; and have doe effect, either to disprove
or approve thei remedy, solealled
It must be remembered, also, that the mix
ture of salt, will in addition operate most bon.
efioially on the crop as manure ; for it is be
lieved that the same amount of money can
scarcely be bettor appropriated than occasion
ally iu a slight application of salt to farm lands.
EASTERN NARCOTICS
Bayard Taylor relates the following amusing
anecdote in his own experience in Arabia:--
While in Arabia I had a very remarkable Ms-
perience. There is a drug in the East whose
effect is lice that of opium; it is prepared
from the Indian hemp. It was much used bar
the Saracen warriors when. about to outer
battle, as a stmulue. It produces on the im
agination a double consciousness; ono part of
the mind seems to study while the other part
looks on. • Frem motives of curiosity, I was
persuaded to try the effect of it on my system.

'taking the drug, tno effect of it began to ap 7

with the company, and yet I seemed to' bo

stone appeared to me like huge squares of.
Virginia tobacco. The scene changed, and.l
