THE WILDWOOD HOME.
RI LYDIA. PANS PIERSON.
Oul show a place like tho wildwood home,
Where the air in fragrant and free,
And the first pure breathings of morning come
In a gush of melody.
A■ she lifts the soft fringe from her dark blue eye,
With a radiant smile of love,
And the diamonds that over her bosom lie,
Are bright as the gems above.
Where noon lies cloWn to the breezy stmde
Of.the glorious forest bowers,
And the beautiful birds from the sunny glade,
Sit nodding amongst the flowers.
While the holy child of the mountain spring,
Steals past with a inurtmir'd song,
And the wild bee sleeps in the bolls that swing
Its garlanded banks alorg.
And spotted fawns, where the vines are twin'd,
Aro dancing away tho hours,
With feet as light as the summer wind
That hardly bends the flowers.
Whets day steals away with a ' young bride's
blush,
To the soft, green couch of night,
And the moon throws o'er with a holy hush,
Her curtains of gossamer light.
Tho seraph that hides in the hemlock dell,
Oh! sweetest of birds is she,
Fills the dewy breeze with a trancing swell
Of melody rich and free.
Where Nature still gambols in maiden pride
By valley and pine-plumed hill,
Hangs glorious wreaths on each mountain side,
And dances in every rill.
There are glittering mansions with marble walls,
Surmounted by mighty towers,
Where fountains play in the prefetned hulls,
Atnonget exotic flowers;
They are fitting homes for the haughty minds,
Tot a wildwood home for me,
Where the pure, bright Waters, the mountain•
winds,
And the bounding hearts are free.

What Makes a Beauty?
BY SIECTCIIgII.
"And so, Frank, you will have none oth
er than a beauty for your u ire!"
"A woman of common personal appear
ance shall never call me husband. No!
she to whom I give my hand must possess
something more than that—nay a good deal
more."
"Indeed."
•• "Yes—indeed. She must have features
the most regular-that-ever_nature cut; a
skin white as the driven snow; eyes as dark,
and sparkling, as the Gazelle's; hair black
as the raven's wing; lips finely chisselled,
of ruby. red; and a form tall, and stately,
yet graceful as that of the Gazelle."
ha, ha! Methinks, my good friend
Frank, that you will have to search in the
world of romance for your "sweetest of life;"
you will find it a somewhat hard matter to
come across such a one in this sphere of re
alitids."
"If I do not, then I will never marry."
"Pmhaw! you will not, ehl"
"No, I will not."
"Than you do not believe that a woman
can be charming, and not possess Gazelle
eyes, ruby lips, and au firth!—that an in
telligont, at.d cultivated mind can beautify,
and light - up common-place features, until
they become bewitching—that an amiable
temper and gentle heart, can surround !wr
with a loveliness more irresistible th an t h e
most exquisite peisonal charms!'
"1 do nut."
onco believed so myself, Frank, and
pit you knovi my wife's beauty is not of
the most glarinj description. 1 would wa•

nary personal attractione, after all your
assertions to tho contrary."
"Never Ned."
"Well, we'll see in time. I was going
to ai.k you to go with me tonight, that I
might introduce you to a witching little
fairy, whom I 'had set my heart upon
getting you to marry. But it's of no use
now. You wouldn't look at her. Alas!
for my first attempt at rnatch.making.—
Good bye."
Tho above was a conversation between
two young men. Frank Chesterton, and
Edward Carroll, boaom friends. They
were both men of fortune. The latter
was, as we have seen, married; his wife, as
he expressed it, did not possess personal
"beauty of the mast glaring description."
yet was he rich in her, for she possessed
that higher merit, beauty of mind. Many
a young lady of his acquaintance—and
some of those too, who were accountO ,
lovely—would have been Wad to have call
ed the handsome Frank Chesterton hus
band. But none of them, however, daz
zling, approached his exalted notions of
beauty. They all alike appeared to him
commonplace. Why was thial It was a
question he had never telly considered, and
therefore answering himself at random,
concluded that it was want of more perfect
contour of features instead of a more beau
tiful expression—a more pleasing counte-
nance—the loveliness of which seems to
depend upon the sweetness of the mind.
A few evenings after the foregoing con-.
versation Frank went t o a party at the
house of a lady of the first circle in society,
named Mrs. Roland, Many were the
bright glances shot from sparkling eyes
toward him, but he gave nc more attention
than what politeness required. lie was
not cold, or uncivil, for urbanity was nat
ural to him, but ho paid his attentions in
such a manner, that they could not be mista
ken for aught morn than those of friend
ship. Having a kind word, and a warm
smile for each, he glided from one to anoth
er, until at last he found himself beside a
group of beaux at the upper end of the
apartmtut. He could not see who it was
they surrounded, but just then he heard
a merry peal of.laughter ring out from
within the circle. Tho tone was of silvery
sweetness, and he involuntarily stopped to
listen. At • that instant his hostess Lip
preached him, and perceiving his curious
look, asked if he wished an introduction to
the lady, who as she trmed it, the bevy of
gentleman wee"monoritising." He assen•
ted, and at a word from Mre. Roland the
circle opened, and disclosed to Frank's view
a vision of loveliness such as he had never
beheld, in the shape of a young girl, appa
rently about °lnge. • She appeared to be
rather under the middle height; and her
form though slight, was full of grace; her
hair of golden hue fell in rich clusters
down her snowy neck; and her eyes wore of
clear deep blue, and played and sparkled
incessantly. Her features were nut regu
lar, but when gazing on her bewitching
countenance ono lost all recollection of their
defects, so laughing and Helm like was its
expression.
..Miss Stanley, allow me to present to
you, Mr. Chesterton," said Mrs. Rolar.d,—
and aftera moment's conversation, she re•
tired to another part of the room.
She was followed by a portion of the
beaux wh had surrounded Miss Stanley,
and soon after the others dropped off, one
by one,—so that eventually Frank was left
alone with the fascinating stranger.
Frank was soon deep in a conversation
with her; and he found that under the appa
rent light hearted gaily, flowed a strong
current of that rare article in fashionable
life, excellent common sense. She had,
moreover, a heart alive to every warm and
delicate emotion. There was no giddy
trifling, no affectation in her words,—but
what she said she seemed to feel, whether
it excited her joyous laughter, or caused
-the crystal tear, to dim her clear blue eye.
What was the matter with Frank Ches
tenon, that evening? Why did he follow
the fascinating stranger whithersoever she
moved? Why did he dwell upon her eve•
ry look, and drink in each tone of her sil
very voice? Why did he show attention
to her, such as ho never showed to mortal
woman before? Could it have been that
Cupid's arrow had found a sheath at last in
his hitherto impenetrable heart? Alas !
Frank! •
When the party broke up he accompa
nied her to the carriage in waiting—end as
he handed her into the vehicle, he asked
" When shall 1 have the pleasure of see
ing Miss Stanly again?"
"I shall be happy to have you call upon
mo et No. —, W— street, any time af
ter to morrow, as I expect to be out of town
then," was her answer.
Frank bowed.
"Good evening," she said, with a sweet
smile.
“Good evening,” he responded, as the
carriage rolled away.
"No. —, %V— street !" he muttered.
"Why that is the residence of Ned Car•
rol's father-in-law. She must either 'have
made a mistake, or else I heard her wrong.
Yet tt may be so, for she told me, she had
been in the city but a week, and that she
was from Baltimore. She told me she was
staying nt her uncle's;" can Mr. Norton be
-tier uncle?• However, I will ask Ned about
it; though jilt were Leon, I should have
thought he would have informed me of it
before. Yet, I will see -him to morrow
shout it, for she is the most beauttlul being
I ever beheld."

ed the distance of half a square together,
and Frank was about to ask him respecting
Miss Stanley; when , she herself, accompa-
nied by a middle aged lady, who appeared
to be her mother, was seen approaching
on the opposite side of the way.
"By heavens! is she not beautiful?" said
Frank, with his eyes rivited upon her.
"W here?—whor asked his friend..
"There—there," said Frank, still keep•
ing his eyes upon her.
"That pretty actress, with the velvet
bonnet'!"
"No, nol A fig for the actress! Thu
younger of those two ladies just behind
her."
'•Oh! I see."
"Is she not lovely?"
''You cannot certainly think so."

"I say she is not plain, sir. She's a

"Why hat's bliss Stanley. She biting

ture cut," said his friend, with a most pro
voking smile.
l'hey're charming for all that."
"Her eyes'are net dark r.nd gazelle
like," continued Carrot.
"'They're heavenly blue," said Frank.
"Her hair is not as black as the raven's
wing."
"It is of most beautiful auburn."
"Her lips are slot as finely chiselled as
those of a Grecian statue."
"They're like torn rose leaves, though."
"Besides, :she Lai not a tall and stately
form."
"But she has a graceful one."
"You must ndmit that many of your fe
male acquaintances are more perfect mod
els,' continued his friend.
"Al! yea, but then there is something
winning about her they have not. Her
mind is beauteous, and imparts a sweetness
to her less finished person."
"Yes, yes, man, but then you know *a
woman cannot ho charming without she

tour of face and form.
"Pshaw 1"
"Well, well, Frank, since I find you're
becoming somewhat of a sensible fellow,

YANKEES ABROAD;
Or, —the Vermont Schoolmaster.
Tho most contemptable and cowardly
species of affectation that ever came under
our observation, is that which leads a man
born in the North or East to disclaim his
birthplace, or even to attempt to conceal
it, lest be should be called a "down Eat
or" or a"Yankee." Much more entitled
to scorn are those who have sprung from
a dunghill in some New England State,
emigrated to the South, and then encour
age the belief that they sprouted into exist
ence on Southern soil, expressing at all
times a thorough contempt for the "land of
wooden nutmegs" as they are pleased to
term the land of Lexington, Bennington,
and Bunker Hill. One of this latter class
of renegades was very pleasantly rebuked
nut long since,_ and so very effectually
withal, that he will not be likely to forget
the lesson for many years.
A gentleman of this city was traveling
North by . tjuk . keguler stage the oug h A lobe
ma & Georgia. At a town in Georgia the
coach stopped, for the pUrpose of
. giving
the passengers a chance to swallow a has
ty dinner. On leaving the table and light
ing his cigar, preparatory to resuming his
place in the coach, our friend found that a
new passenger, belonging to the town, bad
taken the seat ho hod occupied ever since
starting. The inside oldie coach was thus
completely filled. A drizzling rain had just
set in, which promised to increase, in duo
time, to a very respectable shower. &rid•
rytkipsets of the stage, at no time very - a=
greeablo, and tho fatigue of travel without
sleep, had considerably encroached upon the,
good nature of our worthy traveller, and he
did not feel at all inclined to surrender
whnt'be thought to be his right. It scarce
ly needed the rather arrogant air pc the
stranger, therefore, to bring him tol. a de
termination to make no concessions.
"My friend," said he, "I am sorry to
disturb you, but that seat is mine-"
"You are positive of that, are you'?" re
plied the stranger, with rather a contempt.
woe smile.
"Pretty positive sir," said the other,
surveying the interloper coolly.
"1 regret to say that I can't help it,"
answered the iitianger; "I have paid my
fair to Augusta, and there is a strong pro
bability that 1 shall go to Augusta, and in
this seat too."
Our friend hesitated, for he was a can
tious man. His firs impulse was to try
his own strength, ih illustration of the
doctrine "might makes right;" but en in•
disposition to quarreling, united with the
consideration that the stranger appeared
to be the strongest man of the two, and
might prove victor in a personal contest,
induced him to make application first to
the stage agent, who stood in the vicinity.
"1 believe I have a right to that seat,"
said he, "to Augusta. I have occupied it
so far, and by the enmity existing between
the sovereignties of that little world, a
stage coach, it aught not to be taken from
me now. What ►s your opinion?"
"IT' have a right to the seat, and you
shall hey° it," said the agent,
He was about to invite the usurper to
take on outside passage, when a rough,
good humored and intelligent countryman,
who could we but little difference between
an inside ride end the wind and rain. with
the congenial company of the driver, ten
dered the new comer his own twat, which
he immediately vacated.
It there were symptoms of a storm out
side, thera were likewise symptoms of a
storm inside: as the stranger gave way to
the necessities of his situation surrendered
his first seat, and took the one so generous
ly offered him by the countryman. As he
assumed his new seat a muttering about
"d—d Yankee" was easily distinguished.
A few auxiliary jolts of the stage aided in
arousing his temper, and al last he broke
out into a regular tirade against the univer
sal Yankee nation.
"1 hate the whole essence peddling set,"
said he to an easy tempered fellow by his
side, "and always did; I never could sufli.
cientiv thank my stars that I Wtls born and
brought up south of the Potomac. They
send out their meanest specimens to the
South," continued he, "and in the proper.
i
tion to ficir numbers, they always remind
roe of the vermin which overrun Egypt.
Ono of the first and most useful lesson's I
over learned was to damn a Yankee."
ft would have been amusing" to have
watched the face of our traveller from
New Orleans. lie had very carefully
surveyed the features of the stranger as
he settled into his seat, and a smile gather:
ed upon his lips which seemed to say he
'knew his man. He listened quite patiently
to the denunciations of the other, and final
ly said, in a pleasant tone—
" You don't seem to like the Yankees?"
The stranger looked at him closely be.
fore he answered, fur he scarcely liked the
expression of his countenance; it might be
friendly or it might riot; for beneath its
placidity there was something which
slightly resembled a sneer. He replied
briefly,
"No, sir; I do not."
'Teel,le's tastes will difTer; there is no
accounting fur them. Your face, pardon
me, sir—seems not unfamilliar to mo. II

nent,l should like to be favored with your

"My name is Jones, sir."
"You arts
"Cashier of the - Bank."
"Exactly, 1 remember, and
"Alderman in the same town."
"Ay, come to remember," said our
friend, scratching his head as though en
deavoring to bring to memory something
he had half forgotten. "1 recollect having
heard of you. Did you not once teach a
district school in the town of Pomfret,
State of Vermont?"
"Eh? Pomfret? No! yes, hey?"
"Yes, you remember," pursued his tor
mentor, as if not noticing his disturbance
—"the old red school house up them on the
hill; close by the big rock; tho butternut
woods in the rear. I taught in the district
adjoining, you know• Let me so e," said
he, in a slow and thoughtful tone, and with
imperturbable gravity, "I think our pay,
that winter, was ton dollars a month, wasn't
it? There was a proposition, you remem
ber, to drum you out of town for—"
Our Alderman and Cdshier could stand
it no•longer, but leaning forward to our
New Orleans traveller, said fiercely,
"Who are you, any how?"
"Nobody in particular: merely one of
those 'd—d Yankees,' of whom you
spoke a minute ago."
There are those besides Falstaff who
have considered "discretion the be:ter part
of valor." Long before the stage reached
Augusta, there was not a mbro agreeable,
sociable fellow in it, than the quandom.

I.—lt you have ever noticed the form of
that capital letter I, you will have observed
that there is a great deal of character about
it. There is not another letter in the alpha
bet so distinguished- It is as upright as a
dart, and as stiff as a poker—and then it
'anises, as it were, its form into almost all
other letters. This is I, is it not? I the
typo, very literally speaking, of that very
eorsequential thing the human I. Take
almost any man, and the first person singu

it, and showed his love when he wrote in

NOT A MANIITING MAN.—The editor
of the St. Louis Bulletin, who is un incor

'uniting the marrying with the piloting in

gle sheet without being bothered with little

SWEARlNG•—Whatever fortune may be
Made by perjury, I believe there never
was a man, who made a fortune by com
mon swearing. It often happens that men
pay for swearing, but it seldom happens
that they are paid for it. It is not easy to
perceive what honor or credit is connected
with it. Does any man receive promotion
because he is a notable blusteted Or is
any man advanced to dignity because he
is expert at profane swearing? Never.—
Low must be the character which such
impertinence will exalt; high must be the
character which such impertinence will
not degrade. Inexcusable; therefore, must
be the practice which has neither reason
nor passion to support it. The drunkard
has his cups; the !etcher his mistress; the
satirist his revenge; the ambitious man, his
preferments; the miser his gold; but the
common swearerlas nothing; ho is a fool
at large, sells his soul for nought, and
drudges in the service of the devil gratis.
Swearing is void of ull plea; it is not the
native offspring of the soul, not inter
woven with the texture of the body; nor any
how allied to our frame. For,lis Tillotson
expresses it, "though some men pour out
oaths us if they were natural, yet no man
was ever born of a swearing constitution."
But it is a custom, a low and a paltry Cus
tom picked up by low and paltry spirits
who have no sense of honor, no regard to
decency, but are forced to substitute some
rhapsody of nonsense to supply the vacancy
'of b creed sense. Hence the silliness of the
praciice can only be equalled by the sine
ness of those who adopt it.—Lamont.

GOOD ADV.(CE AND Tnon.—The money
paid for advertising, says a contemporary,
should never corm tho least difficulty to a
man who has any thing to gain. It should
be to him as a mere drop of the ocean. .A

printer and nut the painter that has made
my wealth."
