Whence are your glorious goings forth
Ye children of the sky,
In whose bright silence seems the power
Of all eternity
For time hath let his shadow fall
O'er many an ancient light;
But ye walk above in brightness still—
Oh, glorious stare of night!
The vestal lamp in Geecian lane
Bath faded long ago;
On Persia's hill the worshipped flame
Hath lost its ancient glow;
And long the heaven sent fire is gone,
With Salem's temple bright;
But yo watch o'er wandering Israel yet,
Oh, changeless stars of night!
Long have you looked upon the earth,
O'er vale and mountain brow;
Ye saw the ancient cities rise,
And guild their ruins now ;
Ye beam upon the cottage tome,
The conqueror's path of might,
And shed your light alike on all ;
Oh, priceless stars of night !
But where arc they who learned from you
The fates of coming time,
Fire yet the pyramids arose
Amid this desert clime !
Yet still in wilds and deserts far,
Ye bless the watcher's sight;
And shine where bark hath never been, ,
Oh, lovely stars of night!
Much have ye seen of human tears,
Of human hope and love :
And fearful deeds of darkness too,
Ye witnesses above !
Say, will that blackening record live
Forever in your sight;
Watching for judgment on the earth,
Oh, sleepless stars of night!
Yet glorious was the song that rose
With the fresh morning's dawn;
And still amid our summer sky
Its echo lingers on ;
Though ye have shone on many a grave,
Since Eden's early blight,
Ye tell of hope and glory still,
Oh, deathless stars of night !

DT MAUI L. LAWSON,
I met him mid the crowd to•night—
They told me I would meet him there—
My lip was gay, mine eyes were bright,
As I knew no thought of care;
I touched his hand amid the dance
And passed him as a stranger by,
I trembled 'neath his searching glance
And changed to smiles a rising nigh.
It was a weary part to play,
Yet I deceived the thoughtless throng,
I mingled with the fair and gay,
I breathed the blithest jest in song,
My seeming mirth the crowd beguiled
And he too paused my words to hear,
But only sighed when other; smiled—
He did not think my joy sincere.
For when I chanced to meet his gaze,
There was a softness in his eye
That spoke to me of other days
And woke a dream of memory;
A look, half sadness half regret,
That probed the weakness of my breast,
Though brief the space our glances met,
Width' that space the truth he guessed.
I turned with clouded brow aside,
He had no right my soul to see,
When near him stood his lovely bride,
His chosen when his choice was free;
Yet her that I had deemed no blest
Won not his fickle worship now,
Soon wearied of a love possest
He thought not of his plighted vow.
And when I saw he strove to wake
In me a feeling of the past,
I scorned him for my rival's sake
And from my soul hid image cast;
The love long nursed in lonely tears
Fled from me like a dream of pain,
My heart may mourn o'er wasted years,
But never beat for him again.
Our eyes in parting met once more, I
My pale cheek caught no deeper shade,
My eyes no hidden sorrow wore,
Nor pensive tenderness betrayed;
What bitter pain it seemed to me
When first again he met my sight,
But now my heart, though cold, is free,
Free'd with the gaze 1 met to-night.

Had I met thee in thy beauty,
When my heart and hand was free,
When no other claimed the duty

I have found thee—but too late.
For to one my vows were plighted
With a faltering lip and pale;
Hands our cruel sires united—
Hearts were deemed of slight avail!

All love's own sweet prospect faded—

TEE POOR LAWYER.
I had taken my breakfast, and was waiting for my
home, when passing up and down the piazza, I saw
a girl seated near the window, evidently a visitor.
She was very pretty, with auburn hair and blue
eyes, and was dressed in white. I had seen nothing
of the kind since I had left Richmond, and at that
time I was too much of a boy to be struck with fe
male beauty. She was so delicate and dainty
looking, so different front the hale, buxom, brown
girls of the woods--and then her white dress! It
was dazzling! Never was youth so taken by sur
prise, and suddenly bewitched. My heart yearned
to know her, but how was Ito accost her? I had
grown wild in the woods, and had none of the habil
itudes of polite life. Had site been like Peggy
Pugh, or Sally Pigham, or any other of my leather
dressed belles of the pigeon roost, I should approach
ed her without dread; nv had she been as fair as
Shurt's daughters with their looking-glass lockets, I
should not have hesitated ; but that white dress, and
those auburn ringlets and blue eyes, and delicate
looks quite daunted while they facinated. I don't
know what put it into my head, but I thought all at
once I would kiss her! It would take a long ac
quaintance to arrive at such a boon, but I might
seize upon it by sheer robbery. Nobody knew me
here. I would just step in and snatch a kiss, mount
my horse and ride off. She would not be the worse
for it ; and that kiss—oh, I should die if I did not
get it.
I gave no time the thought to cool, but entered
the house and stepped lightly into the room. She
was seated with her back to the door, looking out of
tim window, and did not hear my approach. I
tapped her chair, and she turned and looked up.--
I snatched as sweet a kiss as ever was stolen, and
vanished in a twinkling. The neat moment I
was on horseback galloping homeward, my heart
tingling at what I had done.
After a-variety of amusing adventures Ringwood
attempts the study of the law, in an obscure settle
ment in Ky., where he delved night and day.—
Ralph pursues his studies, occasionally arguing at a
debating society, and at length become quite a I
genius in the eyed of the married ladies or the
village.
I called to take tea one evening with one of these
ladies, when to my surprise, and somewhat to my
confusion, I found here the identical blue-eyed little
beauty whom I had so audaciously kissed. I was
formally introduced to her, but neither of us betrayed
any signs of previous acquaintance, except by blush
ing to the eyes. While tea was getting ready, the
lady of the house went out of the room to give some
directions and left us alone. heaven and earth !
what a situation ! I would have given all the pit
tance I woo worth to have been in the deepest dell
of the forest. I felt the necessity of saying some
thing in excuse for my former rudeness. I could
not conjure up an idea, nor uttei a word. Every
moment matters were growing worse. I felt at
once tempted to do as I had done when I robbed her
of the kiss—bolt from the room and take to flight;
but I was chained to the spot, for 1 really longed to
gain her good will.
At length I plucked up courage on seeing her
equally confused with myself, and walking despe
rately up to her, I exclaimed,
"I have been trying to muster up something to
say to you, but I cannot. I feel that lamin a hor
rible scrape. Do you have pitty on me and help
me out of it !"
A smile dimpled upon bet mouth, and played up
on the blushes of her cheek.—She looked up with
a shy, but arch glance of the eye, that expressed a
volume of comic recollections; we both broke into a
laugh, and from that moment, all went on well.
Passing the delightful doscripiton that succeeded,
we proceeded to the denouement of Ringwood's
love affair—the marriage and settlement.
That very Autumn I was admitted to the bar,
and a month afterwards was married. We were a
young couple, she not above sixteen, I not above
twenty, and both almost without a dollar in the
world. The establishment which we set up was
suited to our circumstances, a low house with two
small rooms, a bed, a table, a half dozen knives
and forks, a half dozen spoons,—every thing by
half dozens, a little delph ware, every thing in a
small way; we were so poor, but then so happy.
We had not been married many days when a
court was held in a country town, about twenty-five
miles. It was necessary for me to go there, and put
myself in business, but ho* was Ito go I I had
expended all my means in our establishment, and
then it was hard parting with my wife so soon after
marriage. However, go I must. Money must l,e
made, or we would have the wolf at the door. I
accordingly borrowed a horse, and borrowed a little
cash, and rode off from my door, leaving my wife
standing at it, and waving her hand after me. Her
last look, so sweet and becoming went to my heart.
I felt as if I could go through fire and water for her.
I arrived at the country town on a cool October
evening. The inn was crowded, for the court was
to commence on the following day. '
I knew no one, and wondered how I, a stranger
a mere youngster, was to make my way in such a
crowd, and get business. The public room was
thronged with all idlers of the country, who gather
together on such occasions. There was some drink
ing going forward, with great noise and little alter
cation. Just as I entered the room, I saw a rough
bully of a fellow, who was partly intoxicuted, strike
an old man. He came swaggering by me, and She came to me before I had finished, and asked me accepted him, not because she thought him the best

My whole spirit was in arms. I answered with
promptness, for I felt the cruelty of such an attack
upon a novice in my situation. The public prose
cutor made a kind of apology. This for a man of
his redoubtable powers, was a vast concession. I
renewed my argument with a fearful growl, car
ried the case triumphantly, and the man was ac
quitted.
This was the making of me. Every body was
curious to know who this new lawyer was that had
suddenly risen among them, and bearded the Attor
ney General in the very onset. The story of my
debut at the inn on the previous evening, where I
had knocked down a bully, and kicked hint out of
doors, for striking an old man, was circulated with
favorable exaggeration. Even my beardless chin
and juvenile countenance was in my fitvor, for the
people gave the far more credit than I deserved.—
The chance business which occurs at our courts
came thronging in upon me. I was repeatedly em
ployed in other causes, and by Baturday sights
when the court closed, I found myself with u hun
dred and fifty dollars in silver, three hundred dollars
iu notes, and a horse that I afterwards sold for two
hundred dollars store.
Never did a miser gloat more on his money and
with more delight. I locked the door of my room,
piled the money in a heap upon the table, walked
around it with my elbow on the table, and my chin
upon my hands, and gazed upon it. Was I think
ing of the money I No—l was thinking of my
little wife and home.
Another sleepless night ensued, but what a night
of golden fancies and splendid air. As soon us mor
ning awned, I was up mounted the burrowed horse
on which I had come to court, and led the other
which I had revolved as a fee. All the way I was
delighting myself with tlio thoughts of surprise I
had in store fur my wife; for built of us expected
I should spend all the money I had borrowed and
return in debt.
Our meeting was joyous as you may suppose;
but I played the part of the Indian hunter, who,
when he returns from the chase, never for a time
speaks of his success. She had prepared a rustic
meal for me, and while it was getting ready, I seated
myself at an old-fashioned desk, in ono corner, and
began to count over my money and put it away.—

talked eloquently about love and poetry, music and
painting—was witty, sentimental and good natured
—was .. invincible always, absolutely always the
colquerer. The young ladies of the village saw
themselves undeservedly deserted—looked month
after month on the success of their general rival—
and prayed probably, if young ladies ever pray
about such matters, that Anisette might speedily
make a choice among her worshippers, and leave
them the remainder. It was a forlorn hope; she
intended to do no snch thing: she was the village
belle; and the village belle she meant to be.
It so happens, however, that great beauties, like
all other great folks, who have to lake their common
chances in the fortunes of humanity, sometimes in
the end outwit themselves. In process of time, one
and another, and again another wedding took place
in the village; tlse girls whose names were seldom
spoken ; whose modest pretensions and retiring ha
bits were perfectly eclipsed by the brilliancy of the
reigning star, secured their favorites, were wooed,
