Flow holy do they seem,
When sombre twilight's shadow cool
Subdues their golden gleam,
Where, in the willow-curtained pool,
The wate-tired waters dream!
Where by the alder-circled covo
And round the reedy isle,
The peering wild-fowl softly move
In many a shadowy file,
And swallows dimple as they rove
The silent lapse the while.

No more my paddles shine;

Beneath its vernal beams,
Yet memory from its whelming snows
A blossom oft redeems,
And wafts the scent of spring's first rose
Athwart our winter dreams
And thus, although youth's locks of gold
Are turning silver-gray,
Visions of boyhood's pastimes bold
Around me seem to play,

A TALE OP POLAND.
"God tempers the wind to shorn lambs,"
said a Polish captive as she was led by a
menial to her master's palace. This girl
was one of those patricsic females enrolled
as a corps, to provide food and raiment for
the valiant, suffering sons of degraded Po
land. Eighteen years had not kissed her
cheek, yet to her discretion paid homage.
The sword of the oppressor had already
drank the blood of her father; the yawning
gates of a Russian prison had interred her
only brother, and grief for the loss of those
whom sho so justly beloved, had made her
motherless. Still her spirit drooped not,
nor did she bend when the storm passed
over her. She considered it a necessary of,
fering to purchase the emancipation of her
country, and stifled each selfish feeling. I
need not say sho was beautiful; but she was
incomparably so. Virtue, beauty, and .the
graces, it would seem, bad struggled for su
premacy. Like a guardian angel she ap.
peared to preside over the destinies of her
country; and in the hour of danger she was
ever near, nerving with new energies•the
sinking soldiers, by herenergetic appeals to
that God, by whom the weak aro made
strong. "I would," said she, "that the
helmet were fitted to a woman's brow,that I
might become a more active participator in
this glorious achievement—that Ltoo,rnight
gather unfading laurels for my country in the .
struggle that awaits her. Again the prow
lers for prey, commanded by the fell tyrant,
are at our frontiers. Hitherto God had
wrought wonders for us. The most san
guine expectations of our friends have been
more than realized, while our enemies have
witnessed the destruction of their fondest
hopes. Our wives and daughters determin•
ed to share our dangers, are already equip.
ped armed with faith and hope in heaven.
They go forth to administer consolation to
the sick and dying, and to bind zip their
wounds. Let the effort then sweep from
the minds of our foe every expectation of I
our country's downfall. Then wronged,in.
suited Poland, will be registered among the
independent nations of the earth."
This appeal to the hearts of the officers
was received, not in the usual manner with
loud cheers. Every knee was bent, and
every eye raised to heayen,and harmonious.
ly did their voices blend in supplicating the
protecting arm of Omnipotence, in behalf of !
themselves, their country, and this heaven-'
born spirit veiled in mortality.
The day dawned,and they were ready to
receive their enemy; they met, and dread
ful was the conflict. Often were the Poles
repulsed,and as often did they return to the
contest, shouting "Liberty or death."—
Their soil was enriched by the blood of her
dearest sons, but the' cry of victory mingled
with the songs of the convoy that beckoned
them away. The enemy fled in wild disor
der, after a protracted struggle.
iVearied with the toils ofwar,the soldiers
retired to the camp; nor were their women
ess in want of rest. The fair Adelia was
alone insensible to fatigue, and as she was
still wandering about the field of battle, in•
tent on her errand of mercy, "Life," said
she, "may still linger in some of the fallen;
and oven in death's last agony, I may point
them to a crucified Saviour." Superstitious
feelings she had ram p ; but in the midst of her
humane exertions, her arm was suddenly
grasped by a ruffian, who in the hour of
danger had fled from the enemy's posts.—
This offering he knew would insure his par
don, and procure for him future favors from
the Russian commander, whose watchword
was "beauty and booty;" and to this Mon
ster did he hasten with this defenceless but
invaluable girl.
During this trial her fortitude was invinci
ble, and the dignity of her manner awed .
even those to whom she was presented.—
The Russian officers had assembled, under
pretence of concerting measures to renew
the engagement; but in fact to spend the
night in riot and dissipation. The corn
mantr-in.chiel Of his Majesty's forces,
struck by the beauty of his captive, ordered,.
"I WISH NO OTHER HERALD, NO OTHER SPEAKER OF MY LIVING ACTIONS, TO KEEP MINE HONOR FROM 'CORRUPTION."-.T:SHAKS
from any other power." She arose,saving:
"I worship neither fronts of brass, nor feet
of clay; my trust is in Israel's God."—
"Prating fool! your life is in my hands, and
dare you defy me?" "True, you may kill
me, bdt the Christian fears no death, and
in that you will only restore me to those
sainted parents of which Russian butchery
has deprived me. Go, pander for a baser
monarch, a►nd no longer disturb my devo.
lions." Threats and persuasions were alike
fruitless. "There is no deed," said she,
"from which you or your nation would
shrink; but my brother would think lightly
of his life, purchased at the expense of his
sister's virtue. Your deeds nre written in
blood, and every triumph but deepens the
stain. Your glory may dazzle for awhile,
hut it will set in the starless night. Begone,
I command von, nor think to bribe a Polish
maiden!" He•left her,swearing vengeance;
and in the execution of which, ho ordered
a menial to bring her forth for the amuse-.
went of the soldiery, well knowing that fe
male delicacy shrinks from the public gaze.
She entered the camp calm 'and collected,
for if she had female gentleness, it was uni
ted with masculine firmness. Tauntingly
she was asked to sing. "I used to sing,"
said she, "for my father: his spirit may be
permitted to hover near and respond to the
song of his child." She sung a little ballad
composed by herself in prison. The words
were as follows:
She ceased. The demon was convulsed
with rage,and ordered her back to await her
wretched fate. Silently she followed her
conductor; but in passing a dark hall,-hor
hand fell upon a sleeping a entinel's sword.
She grasped it—be awoke not—and in her
own dungeon it drank the blood of the same
being who first deprived her of her liberty.
Woman's imagination is ever fertile.—
Quick as thought she was arrayed in the
garb of the fallen soldier, and presented her
self before the common jail, demanding cer
tain prisoners for the gratification of his
master. Their names were given, and
some of Poland's bravest officers were again
at liberty, and among them fair Adelia's
brother.
"Prayer was not invented; it was born
with the first sigh,with the first joy,the first
sorrow of the human heart or rather man
was born to pray; to glorify God or to im
plore H im, was his only mission here below;
all else perishes before him or with him; but
the cry of glory, admiration, or love which
he raises towards the Creator,does not per
ish on his passing from the earth; it re-as
cends, it resounds from age to age in the
ear of the Almighty, like the echo of his
own voice, like the reflection of his own
magnificence. It is the only-thing in man
which is wholly divine, and which he can
exhale with joy and pride, for this pride is
an homage to Him, to whom alone homage
is due—the Infinite Being,. •
"What a world is the world of prayer!-
what an invisible but al: powerful tie is the
of beings mutually known or unknown,pray.
ing together or separately for each other! It
has always seemed to me that prayer is the
only real force, or at least the greatest force
of man! Man cannot conceive? The want
which drives-man to breathe, proves alone
to him that air is necessary to his lite! The
instinct of air proves also to the soul the ef
ficacy of prayer.
"Formerly man did not go to sleep on
his deep and perfidious bed of the ocean,
without raising his soul and his voice to
God, without rendering glory to his sublime
Creator amidst all these stare, and waves
and summits of mountains—amidst all the
charms, and all the perils of night. Eve
ning prayers were always said on board
ship! Since the Revolution of July, this is
no longor the case, Prayer is dead on the
lips of this old liberalism of the 18th centu
ry, which had in itself nothing of life but its
cold hatred of the soul's enthusiasm. This
sacred breath of man, which the children
of Adam have transmitted down to us with
their joys and their sorrows, has been extin
guished in France in our days of dispute and
pride; we have mixed up God with our quar
rels. The shadow of the Deity is terrible
to some men. These insects, just burst in
to. life, to perish to-morrow, and whose bar

Advice to Young Women.
3'EO3IISES OF MARRIAGE.
How many young females are ruined by
trusting to promises of marriage! Ilan in
vestigation were made, a great portion of
those in our cities, who themselves ruined,
are ruining others, have become what they
are, by trusting to such promises. Some
unprincipled wretch has insinuated himself'
into their affections and their confidence, and
then, under a sacred promise, accomplished
their ruin, and abandoned them to shame
and wretchedness. Disappointed, heartbro
ken, and covered with infamy, the victims
have found their way to the common haunts
of vice. The ruin of thousands effected thus,
ought to serve as an effectual warning to the
virtuous young females ofour land.
One thing they ought to know, that a base
proposal under the promise of marriage is
proof strong of an intention to deceive . and
desert. As such it ought to be regarded by
every young female. It shows at once the
character of the suitor. No confidence
whatever should be placed in his promises
who can, under these circumstances, des
cend thus to insult and degrade one whom
he professes to love. Let honorable mar
riage put him in possession of a wife, but
never, under promises ever so sacred, give
him the opportunity to ruin and desert.
He may, the better to cover his base de
signs, offer to marry if you will accompany
him to some neighboring town or city.—
His object . is to get you into, his power by
removing you from your friends and home,
and then when you are dependent on him
disgrace and ruin follow. He may flatter
you with promises, but - he never intends
fulfil them.

"My dear, I'll thank you for a little more

"My dear! don't "dear" me. I'd as soon
have you call and my devil as my 'dear.'"
" Well, my devil, then—l'll thank you for
a little more sugar in my coffee."
At this proof of affection on the part of
her husband, Mrs. Snapdragon burst into a
rage of tears. She had got up as the say
ing is, "wrong end foremost" that morning,
and nothing could please her. • She was no
more satisfied with being called my devil
than my dear, though she had a minute be
fore declared that she preferred it. On the
contrary, she took her husband bitterly to
task for his ready compliance with her sug
gestions.
"Oh you vile, wicked, good-for-nothing
man!" she exclaimed; "is it thus you treat
your affectionate wife? Is it thus you apply
names to her,which I dare not mention?"
"My devil, you did mention it just now.
You suggested the idea—you put the very
words into my mouth; and 1 always like to
comply with your wishes, you know. So,
my dear—my devil I mean—a little more
sugar it you please."
"Sugar! 1 wont give you a jot more. I'
see you hanged first. You use more swee
Fling than your neck is worth."
"I've acquired that habit from having so
sweet a wife. Besides I pay for it out of
my own money."
"Now reproach me with my poverty,will
you? I did not bring you any money, 1 bro't
you respectable connexions, and—"
"True,you brought all your connexions."
"Now you reproach me with that, do
you! I dare say you grudge my relations
every mouthful they eat while they're here."
"I grudge nothing,my dear—l would say
"Dont use that word again, Mr. Snap

"Thank you, my love—then I'll help my
self to sugar."
"Yes, and you'd help yourself to another

"I'm afraid there is but little chance for
that. But my coffee is cooling, while I'm
waiting for the sugar."
"Then it'll be like your love, which has
been cooling ever since wo were married."
"Thank you, my dear, there's nothing
like a sharp acid for a cooling draught."
"Sharp acid! Do you call me a sharp acid?
I'll not endure your taunts any longer. I'll
go home to my connexions. I'll have sepa

"Whenever you please, my dev—my
darling."
"I wont take such peskey language from
you." (Going with the sugar-bowl in her
hand.

Romance in Real Life.
The Hague Journal contains the following
recital of a horrible event that has lately oc
curred at Deux Ponta:
Nine years age, a young man, living as
servant in the family-- of Adam Kettenring,
at Hurmersburg, becamo..enamoured of a
daughter of his master, and fouad in Lisette
a return of affection. The parents,however
treated him with harshness, and turned-him
out of doors. Shortly after a rumor was.
spread in the village, that the young man
and Lisette had eloped; the father insinua
ted that they had gone to America, and the
report, was believed. Nine years passed a
way in this manner; but, some time ago, the
village watchman announced to the burp
master, that, having been seated during the
night at the door of Kettenring's house, he
had heard groans and sighs proceeding from
the cellar, and had therefore deemed - it his
duty to inform the proper officer of the cir
cumstance. The burgomaster, in whose
mind this intelligence awakened a suspicion,
against which, ho had been struggling for
more than a year, ordered the watchman to ,
keep strict silence on the subject, and gave
notice to the superior authorities of the eir
cuOsfance, and of his own suspicions.—
Meaeures were immediately taken,the house
of Kettenring was surrounded by gendarmes,
and himself arrested. The agents ofjustice
then descended to the cellar, and to their
horror,found that the groans proceeded from
a kind ofa cupboard,formed ofotrong planks.
The cupboard was opened,a.fcet id odor came
from it, and a frightful object was seen—a
person naked, covered with filth; crouching
in a corner, and hardly showing any signs
of life. It was Lisette, Kettenring's daugh
ter, who had been shut up for nine years in
the tomb by her inhuman parents. Here
this unfortunate creature had been kept like
an animal, upon coarse food,and the monster
au father, afraid to kill his daughter, had
left her there to perish gradually. The mis-
shapen being who was thus discovered, had
only a few remains of her chemise about
her neck, of all the clothes she had on, when
first shut up. She was half brutalized, and
in a dreadful state ofexhaustion; she no long.-
er knew how to speak, and the words . dibd on
her lips. Proper care, however, - having
been taken of her, her mind and body began
to recover, her memory began to return, and
she is now in a fair way of being re-estab
lished. The question now is, since the girl
is here; where is her lover? Every atrocity
may be expected to have
_been
. committ.ed
by such parents; and it is generally suppos
ed that the young man was assassinated be
fore the eyes of his mistress, and that she,
as a witness of this crime was shut up in her
tomb. The assizes will soon clear up this
mystery.
VARIETY.
icrw. have heard of many "fish.atories," "dog.
stories" and various other kinds of"atorioa"—but
the following is the first "cow-story," wo have
noticed on record:—
KINDNF:SR . OP A Cow . —Tho inhabitants of the
neighborhood of Auxonne, wore long annoyed by
a wolf, which at ono time devoured a young girl.
A boy named Fourcauft, about 14 years of age,
was minding some cows in that canton. It is well
known that these animals, when urged by com
mon danger at the approach of a wolf, are led by
an instinct to collect and range themselves into a
kind of circular phalanx, presenting to the enemy
those arms with which nature has furnished their
heads, and thus securing their bodies which would
be otherwise exposed. Tho cows which Fourcault
watched, adopted this natural tactic the moment
they perceived the wolf, which however, directed
itself not towards them, but the boy, whom it soiz
od, and was beginning to shake him to pieces.—
One of - the cows immediately separating itself
from the phalanx, attacked the wolf and made It
drop its prey. Tho boy availed himsolf of the con y
test between his adversary and protectress to seek
safety by flight. The wolf quittod the cow, pur
sued the boy, seized and shook him as before.—
The cow rushed forward again for the defence of
the youth, and harrassed the wolf so much as to
oblige it to relinquish the victim once more, but
being soon repulsed, the boy was a third time in
the jaws of the wolf, when two inhabitants of Vil
liers le-point came up and despatched the animal.

THE UNDERTAKER.-A few days ago,an
undertaker was observed to shed tears at
the interment of a quack. A friend asked
him the cause of it. "Why," said he, "you
see I have just buried one ofmy best friends."
Paganini has found a rival in a Norwe
gian fiddler, Ole B. Bull, who has made his
appearance at the King's Theatre in Lon
don. He performed some pieces ofhis own
composition, which electrified .his auditory,
and drew tears from the eyes of the ladies.
It is said that . for sentiment, and what may
be termed "sing:lug" on the instrument,pow.

of execution, he surpasses Paganini. Ole
Bull, therefore, it is surmised, will make a
fortune out of Vs/in Bull."
