The Icicle and lite Snow Drop.
An icicle, so runs my tale.
Hung from a cottage wall;
. Below, there lived a snow-drop pale,
Sheltering her petals small.
The icicle all solid seemed,
And hour by hour he grew;
liightiy the passers by, he deemed.
Turned round his form to zv.
He chanced to look upon the ground,
And there the snow-drop spied,
Just peeping though a snowy mound.
And space he in ptsce: "
"Look up, small thing, a woaJrous sight
Is hanging o'er your head;
See me in growing splendor bright,
While thou ar t nearly dead.
Such talk he held, when lo! a breezo
From southern iuarters came;
And soon the air had ceased to freeze.
All moist he felt his frame.
Drops from him full upon the Cower,
While sunshine came in gleams;
Refreshed, as by a gentle shower,
Sho sprang to meet the beams.
But fears within his bosom woke.
He trembled to his fall,
Till with a suddeu bound he broke.
And daahed against the wall.
And rolled into the kennel soon.
All wet with muJ and mire;
No form was left to him by noon,
I saw him there expire.
But first he groaned out, "Lrv-.k ou me,
(I speak to or e and all;)
Great ws .ny pride; now learn from me
That p.ride will have a fall.

A RIITI.V.TIIG CLOrD.
BY T. 8. ARTHUR.
Andrew Lee came home at evening from
the shop where he had worked all day. tired,
and out of spitits; came home to his wife, who
was also tired, and cut of spirits.
"A smiling wife," and a "cheerful home
what a paradise it would be !" said An
drew to bitnstdf, as he turned his eyes
from .hj clouded face of Mrs. Le, and
sat uoa'o, with uitted brow, and moody as
p C-
t a word was spoken by cither,-Mrs. Lee
was getting snppor, and she moved about
with a weary step.
Come," she said at last, with a i-ide-glance
at her husband.
Ti.cre was invitation ia the worJ only, none
ia the voic of Mrs. Loo.
Andrew arose and went to the table, lie
was tempted to pcak an aury word, but
controlled hiiu-sclf, and kept silent. He
could Cud no fault with the chop, nor the
sweet houic-iuale bread, nor the fragrant tea
They would have cheered his inward man, if
thre had only been a glsam of sunshine on
the fice of his wife. He noticed that the did
cot cat " ' '
Are you not well, Mary ?" The words
wcra on his lips, but he did not utter them,
for the face of -bis wife looked so repellant,
that he feared au irritating reply. And so.
in moody silence, the twain sat together until
AaJrow uad bin shed his supper. As he
pushed his chair back, his wife arose,
and commenced clearing off the supper ta
ble. "This is "purgatory !' said Leo to him
self, as h. commenced walking the floor of
theii little breakfast room, with his bands
thrust dc.spoiattly away down in his trouser's
pockets, and his chin almost touching his
breast.
After removing the dishes, and taking them
m:o tue Kiicuen, Airs. Jjee spread a green I
cover oc me laoie, ana placing a iresu trim
med lamp thereon, went out, and shut the
djor after her, leaving her husbaud alone with
his uupleasent feelings. lie took a long,
deep breath as she did so, pausedfin his walk,
stood still a few moments, and then drawing
a paper froai his pocket, sat down by the ta
ble, opened the 6heet and commenced read
ing. iSiogularly enough, the words upon
which his eyes rested were, "Praise your
wife." ' They rather tended to' increase the
disturbance of mind from which be was suf
fering. "I should like to find some occasion for
prasing mine." How quickly his thoughts
expressed that ill-natured sentiment. But
his eyes were on the page and be read
on.
"Prabie your wife, man ; for pity's sake
give her a little encouragement ; it won't hurt
her."
- Andrew Lee raised bis eyes from the pa
per, and muttered. "Oh, yes. That's all
very well. Praise is cheap enough. Bat
praise her for what. For being sullen, and
making: your home the most disagreeable
in the world" Ilia jea fell again on the
paper.
"Sho has made your home comfortable,
jour hearth bright and chining, your food a
greeable ; for pity's sake, tell her you thank !
tier, if nothing more She don't expect it, it
might make her eyes open wider than they
have for ten years; but it will do her good
for all that, and you too ' j
It seemed to Andrew as if this -setiteLce
was written just for him, and just for the oc- '
casion. It was the complete answer to his J
question, ."Praise her for what?" and he felt j
it also a rebuke. He read no farther, for
thought came too busy, and in a new direc
tion. Memory was convicting him of injus
tice towards his wife. She had always made
his -Lime as comfortable for him as hands
could make, and had he offered the light of
praise or commendation? Had ue told her
of the satisfaction he had known or tho com
fort experienced? He was not able to recall
the time or the occsasion. As he thought
tnus, Mrs. Lee came from the kitchen, and
takice her work-basket from a closet, placed
it on the table, and sitting down, without
speaking began to sew. Mr. Lee glanced al
most stealthily at the work in her hands, and
saw it was the bosom of a shirt, which she was
stitching neatly. He knew that it was for
him that the was at work.
"Praise -.your wife-V Tho words were
before the eyes of his mind, and he could not
look away from them. But he was not ready
for this yet He still felt moody and unfor
giving. The expression of his wife.s face he
interpreted to mean ill-nature, and with ill
nature he had no patieuce. His eye fell upon-
the newspaper which lay spread out be
fore him, and he read the sentence.
"A kind cheerful word, spoken in a gloo
my home, is like the rift in a cloud that lets
the sun through."
Mr. Lee struggled with himself a while
lo.igcr. His own ill-nature bad to be con
quered first: bis moody, accusing spirit had
to be subdued. But he was coming right,
and at last got right, as to will. Next came
the question as to how he should begin. He
thought of many things to say, yet feared to
say them, lest his wife should met his advan
ces with a cold rebuff. At last, leaning tow
ards her and taking hold of the bosom upon
which she was at work, he said, with
a voice carelully modulated with Kind
ness "Yoa ara doing that work very beautiful
ly. Mary."
Mrs. Lee made no reply. But her hus
band did not fail to observe that she lost al
most instantly, that rigid erectness with
which she had been sitting, nor the motion of
her needle Land ceased.
My ebirts are better made, and whiter
tbaa those of any ether man in our shop,"
said Leo CECouraged to go on

turn her face, but her husband eaw sho lean

through the ice of preserve, and all was easy
now. His hand was among the clouds, and a
few feeble rays and already straggling through
the rift it had made.
"Yes, Mary," he answered softly, "and I
httvo heard it said-more -than onco-'what a-
gocd wife Andrew Lee must have."
Mrs. Lee turned her face towards her hus
band. There was light ia it, and light in
her eye. But there something ia the expres
sion of her eye that puzzled hiro.
"Do you think so r she asked quite.sober-
"Nvhata question T ejaculated Andrew
Lee, starting up, and going around to the
side of the table where his wifs was sitting.
"What a question, Mary!" he repeated as he
stood before her.
"Do you ?" It was all she said.
"Yes. darling," was the warmly spoken an-
sit .
swer, and ue stooped down and kissed her.
"How strange that yoa should ask me such a
question .
"If you would only ill me now and
then, Andrew, it would do me good." And
Mrs Lee arose, and leaning her face against
the manly breast of her husband," stood and
wept.
What a strong light broke in upon the
mind of Andrew Lee. Ho bad never given
to his faithful wife even the smallest reward
of praise for all her loving interest she had

her thick darkness. No wonder that her
face grew clouded, nor that what he consider
ed moodiness and ill-nature took possession of
ner fpirit.
"You are good and true, Mary. My own
dear wife. I am proud of you I love you
and my first desire is your happiness
Oh. if I could always see your face in sun
shine, my home would be the dearest place on
earth
'How "precious to me are your words of
love and praise, Andrew, said Mrs. Lee,
smiling up through her tears into his face.
"With them in my ears, my heart can never
lie in shadow."
How easy had been the work of An

the cloudy horizon of his home, and now
the bright sunshine was streaming down

St3T Its 13 a jc.st saying of an old writer,
that men, like books, r began and end with

JC3T A son of Hon. Lewis D. Campbell, of
Ohio, aged about 24 years, was run over at
Hamilton, Ohio "on Thursday last, by a
heavy freight train, and was instantly killed
An Aclrenture on the Cars.
There were five of us yea, five as happy
fellows as ever were ever let loose from col
lege. It was "vacation." and we concluded
to make a trip to 4he Falls We got aboard
the cars at N , and were soon travel
ling very rapidly toward our destination.
We had just seated ourselves and prepared
for a comfortable smoke, when in came the
conductor, and who should it be but our old
friend Fred B .. After the common
salutations "how are you, old . fellow," ect.
had passed, Fred said he had some business
for us to attend to. '
"Out with it, old chum," said we; "any
thing at all -will be acceptable, so let ua have
it " ' y
V Well, bej;" ftild Fred, in a very confi
dential tone, "ia that next car there is as
lovin' a pair as it was ever my lot to see,
They are going dawn to n to get mar
ried, and now if you can have any fun over
it, just pitch in. They must be cared for,
and I don't know who can do it better than
you."
In a moment Fred was gone, and we set
out heads together, to form a plan for taking
care of the lovers.
"I have it boys," said Bill Severs; "we
must make that girl think that her lover is a
married"
"That's it. Bill that's it," said we, not
giving him time to finish the sentence.
"That be is a married man and the father
of children," said Bill.
"Thais tho game, boys, now let us play it
out."
It devolved upon me to commence opera,
tions. Accordingly, I entered the car in
which we were informed the lovers were. The
girl thinking, I suppose, that she must give
her lover au toe-seat, bad taken a seat on his
knee; and he, for the purpose of protecting
her, of course had thrown his arm around her
waist: and so they sac, in real, soft lovers'
style.
Ail this I gathered at a glance. Stepping
up to them, I said:
"Why, Jones, what in the duce are you
doing with this girl?
The girl arose, hastily and seated htraelf
on the seat.
"See here, stranger," sajd the fellow,
you're a mite mistaken: my name ain't
Jones.'
"Why, Jones," said I, "you certainly hav
en't left your wife and children, and tried to
palm yourself off for a single man have you?
"I te-1 you my name am t Jones; it s Har
per, it never was Jones; "taint n gom to
be nuther
1-too rely sbovt- tay head, and passed on- to
another seat to 6ee the rest of the fun. The
girl looked "will" after I eat down; but Jones
alias Harper, soon convinced hc-r that I was
mistaken.
"Why, Jones, von here? now did you
leave your wife and babies?"
"2Sow sec here stranger, you ain t the fust
man that's called me Jones to-'day, an' I rec-
on I must look artfully like him; but I ain't
Jones, and mor'n that, you musen't call me
Jones. I hain't rot a wife' nor babies either
but this ere gal an' me is going to splice, an'
then you can talk about my wife, aod I
woldu't wonder but what in the course of time
you might talk about the babies, too; but you
musn t call me Jones!
This retort brought forth voicferous laugh
ter from the spectators, and also brought
blushes to the face of "the gal that was goin'
to be gpliced. .- u
"Ab, Jones'iraU Gregg, "you will re
gret this in the ' future. I pttty your wife
and children, and this poor girl?"
"So, Mr. Harper, your real name is Jones
is if; an' you've been foolin me, hava you?
Well, we ain't spliced yet an I don't think
we will be soon," said the girl,-and her eyes
fairly flashed fire.
"Jane, Jane," said Harper, "don't you
know I'm Bill Harper? Thar ain't a darn
drop of Jones blood in mc, an I'll prove it to
you."
At this moment, Jeff Jackson. Bill Jevers,
and Jim Beyers entered, and of course their
attention was called to Harper by his loud
talking. They stepped up to him and Baid:
"Why, Jones, what is all this fuss about."
This was more than Harper could stand.
He leaped upon a seat.
"Now." said he, "bit name ain't Jones,
an' lean lick the feller that says it is." .
By this time we had got to U and
our friecd Fred came into the car and made
Harper keep quiei. The girl that wouldn't
be "spliced" requested Fred to belp her on
the train that was going back to N ,
which he did, and the notorious Jones, alias
Harper, followed her. We learned after
wards, that he proved himself to be Bill liar
per, instead of Bill Jones, and he and his gal
Jane "got spliced."

Great Wedding at St. Louis.
The St. Louis Republican comes to us with
a tall and very able report of the great wed
ding"of Mr. Timothy McKillgubbin and Miss
Sophia Simlichgoot, of that city. One paper
alone r-mployed nineteen reporters to procure
the fullest particulars of the affair, stimulated
to this enterprise, no doubt by the uncounted
affluence of the -happy bridegroom, and his
rather novel choice of one of the fair daugh
ters of the Kh'.ne, together with other circum
stances too wearisome to enumerate, which
made this wedding an event of remarkable
hugeness, justifying the papers in giving all
the interesting particulars.
Timothy McKillgubbin, is a native, , as his
name would indicate, of one of the cautions of
Grcecs. His mother never had but one child
a boy and by a coincidence, Timothy wm
the ehild. He was exceedingly young at the
time of his birth, and is, consequently now in
his forty-third year.
The splendors unmatchable of the bride's
troutseau are thus faithfully given :

illustrated with a representation of the Har

The following anecdote, from Harper's
Magazine for July, illustrates the indefinable
position of certain wavering latter-daj politi
cians :
"During tho agitation in 1812, relative to
the declaration of war with Great Britain, it
is well known that the subject met with a
strong opposition in the New England repre
sentation in Congress, as well as in a great
portion of tie people in that section of the
country. Meetings expressive of hostility
to the bill were held throughout those States,
and it was proposed that the good people of
L., should manifest their pacific spirit and
define their position. A public demon
stration "was agreed nponandold Parson M ,
being considered the 'man for the times, was
called upon by .a committee appointed for
that purpose, with the request that he would
prepare an address appropriate to the occas
ion. "The yarson did not yield a rsady
compliance, but illustrated his reply in this
wise :

Scotland who bad an only eon. Upon him
she had expended much to enable him to ac
quire an .education He was absent from
home for a long while attending school.
Having completed his course of studies, he
returned to his good old mother. 'Come

home, and when they were about making
preparations to retire, you've been a long
time away from me, my aon, and have stud

have never heard ye pray. Try it, John; for
