Like gentle' spirits from aboye,
With balsam for our woes, • •
I've mid trio down with hoevY
Toil, spent, and sick with cares,
'I'M sleep, doled o'er my heasy.eyes;
Their lids hegem'll with tears. ..
Then soft'drearny spirits come
And spread their 'dewy wings,
O'er all the sorrows' of my lot,
And all detested things.
Then toils andpains of recent yeare,
And _darker stains are hid;
And soft they kiss away the tears
And soothe the gushing lid.
And now from 'memory's treasur'd wreath
They cull the holiest &nem;
And build and deck in brightest hUes,
A thousand fairy bow'rs, .
And tenant them with fair bright things
That long from me have fled; •
Some on their own inconstant wings,
Some to : the narrow bed.
My early home, with all its joys, •
Is spread before me then,
-And soothing tones,'and love bnght eyes,
Speak to my soul again.
Again the nrden Odd, and grove,
Display: their (mita and flowers
And birds are warbling joy and toys,
In ail the.fragrant bowers.
And voices, sweeter' than the !aide,
More fragTant thOn the flow're;
With the rich, melody of words, ,
Enchant the fairy hours.
And every tone, and glance and smile
Is InnocenCe and truth; -
And teartsmeet joyously the while
With the firm faith of youth.
Affection's long since cold and dead,

cut yourco - at according to your cloth, is en o
maxim and a wise one; and if people will'onlY
square theirideaeaccording to their circumstances
how much happier might we all be !, If we only
would come down a peg or two in our notions, in
accordance, with our waning fortunes, happiness
would be always within our reach. It is not what
we have, or what we have not,, which adds or sub
trim from our felicity. It is the.longing for more
than we have; the envying of those who possess
that more; and the wish to appear in the world of
more consequence than we really are, which de
stroy our peace of mind,.. and eventually lead - to
ruin.
I never uritnessed a Man submitting to circum
'stances with good humor and good sense, So 're=
markably rut in my friend . Alexander Willemot.-1
When I first , met him, since our school days; it
was at the close of the war, he had been a large
;contractor with govemment•for army clothing and
accoutrenients, and was said to have realized an
;immense fortune, although his accounts were not
yel settled: Indeed, it
,was said that they were so
vast, that , it .would.eMploy .the , time of six clerks,
t for two yeari, to examine them, previous to the
balance-sheet being struck. As I observed; he had
.bein at School' with me, and, on my return . from
(the East Indies Is called 'upon him' to renew our
old'acquaintance, and congratulate him upon his
lateness.
"My dear Reynolds, Ism delighted to see you.
You must 'come down. to Belem Castle; Mt s. Wit
'lermit will receive you'with pleasure, I'm sure.--
You shall see my two girls."
I consented.. The chaise stopped at a splendid
mansion; and I was ushered in by a crowd of live
ried servants. Every thing was on the most
sumptuous' and magnifieent scale. Having. paid
my. respects to the lady of the house, I retired; to
!dress, as dinner was nearly ready, it being then
half past seven o'clock. It was eight before we
sat 'doviti. To an observation that I made, ex
'pressiag a hope that Thad not occasioned the din
ter tiein g put off, Willemot replied, "on the con
trary, my dear Reynolds; we never sitdown until
ibout this hour. How people can dine at four or
five o'clock, I cannot conceive. I could not touch
a tnouthful.''
The dinner was oxcellenk and I paid it•the en
ceniums , which were its due.
oDonot be afraid, my dear fellow—my cook is
an artiste extraordinaire--n regular Cordon Bleu.
You may eat any thing without fear ofindigeetion.
How peoide can lira upon the English cookery of
the present day, I cannot conceive. I seldom dine
out for fear of being poiaonedr Depend upon it, a
good cook lengthens your days, and no price is too
great to .ensure one."
When the ladies retired, being atone, we enter
edinto friendly conversation. I expressed my ad
knirstion of his daughters, who certainly were very
handsom‘ and , elegant girls.
.4Ve r y true: they are more than passable," re
gs W e -have many ofitte, but not such as
come' up to my expectations. ,Baronetirare cheap
now-e-days,'and Irish lords are nothings; I hope
to geld° them comfortably. Wit ;Mall, see. Try
this clare4 you'll find it excellent, not - e headache
in a hogshead of it. How people can drink port,
I cannot imagine,
The next morning. he proposed that I should

"They step out well, don't they?. We shall be
down in plenty of time to put on a pair of shoes
by, five o'clock.,which is our dinner time. Late
dinners don't agree with me—they produce indi
gestion. Of course you knew that Louisa has a
little bop" ' '
I did not; but congratulated him.
“Yetc and has now gone out to India with her
husband. Mary is also engaged - to be married—a
very-good match—a Mr. Rivera, in the law. He
.has been called to the bar this year, and promises
well. They, will be a little pinched - at first * bOt
we meet see what we can do for them." ; . •
We stopped , at. a neat row of bongo", I forget the
name, and, as we drove up, the servant, the. nly
man servant, came out, and took the ponies round
to the stable, while the maid received ray, luggage,
and one or two paper baga,containing a few extras
for the occasion. I was met with the same warmth
as usual by • Mrs. Willemott. The house was
small, but very neat; the remnants of former gran
deur appeared here and there, in one or two little
articles, favorites of the lady. -We eat, down at
five o'clock to a plain dinner, and were attended
by thefootman who had-rubbed down the ponies
and pulled onhis livery.
4tA good, plain cook is the beat thing, after all,"
observed Willenaott., "Your fine cooks won't con
descend to roast and ' Will you take some of
thit sirloin?, the undercut is excellent. .My dear,
give Mr. Reynolds acme Yorkshire pudding.",
When we were ..eft alone, after dinner, Willa
mots told me, very unconcernedly, of hie losses. '
'hit was my. own Ault," said he; “I wished .to
make up a little sum fin the girls, andoisking what
they would have had,l left them almost pennylesa.
However, we can alvisys command a bottle of port.
and a beef steak, and what more in this world can
you have? Will you take port Or white? I have
no claret to offer you.",
We finished our port, bet I could perceive no
difference in Willemott. He wee just as happy
and as cheerful as ever.. He drove me to town
the next day. During our drive, he observed. aI
like,porties. they are so little troribleg',.asiiil prefer
them to driving one horse in this vehicle, as I can
put my wife and daughters into it. It's selfish to

Our ride was very pleasant; and, in such amuse-.

'weeks that I ever , remembered. Willemat vrai

. 'core, as when a•boyat school. • left him. pleated
with hie protiperity, and acknowledging that he
was well deserving of it, 'although his ideas had
assumed such,* scale of magnificence. • -
I went to India whets my leave expired, and was
absent about four years. On my return, I inqui
red after my friend, Willemot, and was told that
his circumstances and expectations had been
greatly altered. ..From many causes, such as a
change of the government, a demand for economy,
and the wording of hiecontracte, having been dif
ferently:rendered from what Willcmot had suppo
sett their meaning . to be, large items had been,
struck out of his balance sheet, and instead of
ing a millionaire, ho was how a gentleman With a
handsome property. Below Castle had been sold;
and be now lived at Richmond, as hospitable as

this is really kind of you to come without

VVillomet, will be delighted to see you."'
I found the girls still unmarried, but they were
yet young. 'Thewhide family appeared, as cOn- -
tented, and happy, and as friendly as befOre. We
sat down to dinner at six o'clocki the footman and .
tfie Coachmen attended. The dinner was good,
bat not by the artiste extraordinctii•e: I praised
every thing.
oYes,".'rePlied he, ""she is a very good:cook; she
unites the Solidity of the English, with the delicii4
cy of the trench 'fare, nod, altagether, - I think it a
decided impracement• ,Jane is quite a treasure."
After "dinner he obserVed, "of course you knosi

The next day we drove out e not in an open car
riage as before, but in a chariot and with a pnieof
“Tlnia am handsome horses,” observed I.
"Yee," replied he, fond of good horses ;
and, al I,ouly keep a pair, I haie the best. There
is a certain degree of pietension in four horses, I
do not-much appears as if wished to
overtop your neighbors." .
I spent a few very pleasant days, and then quit
ted his, hospitable roof. .A severi cold, caught
that winter, induced me to take the advice of the
physicians and proceed to the south of France,
where I remained two years. On my ,return, I
was informed that Willemot had speculated, and
had been unlucky on the Stock Exchange; that
he - had . left Richmond,. and was now living at
Clapham. The next day I met him near the Ex
change. .
“Roynolds, I,am happy to,see you. Thompson
told me.that you had come back. If not better
engaged, come down to see me; I will drive you
down at 4 o'clock, if that will suit."
It suited_ me very well; and at 4 o'clock I met
him according to appointment, at a. livery stable
over the Iron Bridge. Obi vehicle was ordered
out; it was a phiton drawn by two long tailed
ponies--altogether.a very neat concern-.-we set
off at a rapid pace.
In 11,ThIrr wheeled double anal° iiipesua • 'like an
tmon the pobr•inirital." I
• :
went to Scotland, and remained about a :Year.
• On my return I found that my friend Willemott
had ihtfted IMF quarters. lie Was •at litighton,and
• having 'nothing better to do, I, 'Put rifiself In the
"AtTimes," and strived atthe Bedford Motel. It wits'
not until after some inguyy, that I could find out :

but not fashionable part of the overgrown town.-

I accepted his invitation to dinner. A parlor
maid waited, but every thing, although very plain,
*as clean and comfortable.
. .
al -have still , a bottle of wine for a friend; Rey

part, I, prefer whiskey-toddy. It agrees - with me
better. Here's to the health of my two girls, God
bless them, and sueces.s to them in life."
. . , .
“bly dear Willemon," said I, of take•the liberty

pretty much all over that country)—l. used
to stop sometimes en the top of a' hill, look

I. 'what a country this iti,'-;-there was wide

is, not to -take any thing along with him

for they , don't know what it is; tiler go for
hard currency entire. They go the Gine.
ral's doctrine about money thatters s up to the

tera entirely separate, and so wide apart you
can't see nary one on 'ern. I ask'd some on
'em there why they did not go -to Work• and
earn an honest liven and put on decent'
lotheirt and feed thehratatein_families4lll;„,
-said ltiere VMS no wield trying that,for
as soon as any man got a leetle forehanded
in the world, all thnir property was taken
away from-'em to feed the sogers, or pay
taxes---or - was stolen.. Well, says I, why;
-ttley
don't- you take the law on•'em then? •t i atv7
'What law? There Hint no law fiere,lait jist
each law as 'the government' chuses to Make
--and 'the govitrinnent' has got allthe :regent'
and all the office holders on their aide, and
they out namber ustwo te one. Well thinks
I, as far as that goes that sounds democratie
at any rate,but shows the difference between
a 'government democracy' and" a 'people's
democracy.' •And ' thil put the to thinking
considerable how it &meant - tout in the course
of time that a government can manage to
work along, first with poiver granted by the
people for . the good of the hull people, and
then sometimes with a teethe glory (for Spain
has had its glory too and is now so full met
there hint no vessels in port, or industry in
the country—there pint no room for• arty
thing but rage and misery,) and then agin,
with a leetle party management, contrive to
bring things so. as to make power beiet
power, and smash every thing that dares to
talk agin the party that has the control. And
what is the consequence? All the laws that
were made for the good of the hull people
are put aside, and only such laws are made
as suit the party in power; that party has
got all the.offices,; and got all the hard mo.
net; and they wont allow any other kind of
money; they wont encourage commerce, or
trade or manufacturing; betause they know
that trade,and commerce and manufacturing
would create a power right off that would
upset their apple cart mix'd up with corn;
and every man of good character would come
in for ashore met; and borrow upon his ere&
",u eleetle somethin till his labor would - lift
him out of the dart and' rags he is now in.—
Trade and eommerce,.too sharpen the wits
of folks generly,and makes 'em keep a sharp
eye on the law makers—and that don't suit
dome folks. I have always noticed myself;
and I have heiirn tell ever since I Aimee boy
—arid what leethi I hive read of what 'actin
ed history says so too—that no country can
be free and 'happy without good laws made
expressly for all classes alike—then all
classes prosper; for all are dependant on
each other,; a farmer raises wheat,anci pork
and beef; the merchant takes,,theso, to all
parts of Creation' to the best market, and
brings hOme what is mtist wanted id turn.
The ship builder buirsabipa for the market,
and that gives employ to .ropemakers and
blacksmiths and sail makers and cartmen;
and so on through all branches of mechan
ics. Foreign and home trade all goes
on, one working into the Other; marcher'.
dize; and folks in steam boats, and •cin
