TAE, SXJAISWS WE CAST 4.
A child was playing with seine building
blocks; and, as the wiatic castle rose he
fure his eyes iu grae r efulpropurtions, a new
pleasure swelled in his heart, lie felt
himself to be the creator of a " thing of
beauty,' and was conscious of a new born
power. Arch, wall, butress, gateway,
drawbridge, lofty t , ,owcr and battlement,
were all the work Of his hands. He was
in wonder at his own skill in thm creating
from an unseemly pile of blocks, a-struc
ture of such rare design.
Silently he stood) anti gazed upon his i
castle with something of the . pride of an 1
airehiteet who sees, after months or years'
of skillfully applied labor, some grand con
ception in his art, embodied in his imper.l
- stone. Then he moved around, i
viewing it on every Side, It did not seem
to him a toy, reaching only a few inches
in 'height, and covering but a square foot
of ground, but a real castle, lifting itself
hundreds of feet upwards to the blue sky,
and spreading wide upon the earth its
ample foundations.) As the idea grew
more and more perfect, his . strange pleas
ure increased. No+ he stood with folded
arms, wrapped in the over-mastering illu
sion—now walked slowly around, viewing
the structure on all sides, and noting every
minute particular and now sat down, and. l
I bent over.it with theLfundness of a mother{
bending Over her ehild. Again he arose,
purposing to Obtain another and a wore
distinct view of , his ,work. But his foot
struck against one of, the buttresses, and
instantly, with a crash,.wall, tower, and
battlement fell in hopeless ruin.
In the room, with the boy, sat his fa
tifer, reading. The crash disturbed him;
and he uttered a sharp. angry rebuke;
glancing, for a moment, towards the start
led child, and then returning his eyes to
the attractive pages before. him, uncoil-
scions of the shadoW he had cast- upon i
the heart of cliil4. Tears came lute
those fair blue orbs; dancing -in light_ a
moment before. Frrn the frowning face
of his father, to whitili his glance was sud
denly turned, the child looked hack to the '
shapeless ruins of- his castle. Is it any
wonder that he bowed his face in silence )
1
upon them, and wet Itheui with-his tears.
For more than fivci minute's, he sat as
still as if sleeping; Ithen, Iwo. mournful I
kind of way, yet almost noiselessly, he
commenced restoring to the: -box from
which he had taken them, the,niany shap
ed pieces that, fitly pined gibether, had
' , nom] into 4 a
noble ktuildiu After the
17
box was ailed, he replaced the cover, and'
laid - i. carefully uponia shelf in the 'closet.

and tone, with a power in them to shadow
the heart of his childi
A young wife hadbusied herself for
many days in preparing a pleasant sur
prise. for her huSbadd. The work_ was
finished at last; and now she awaited his
return, with a heart fUll of warm emotions
A dressing-gown, and a pair of elegantly
embroidered slippers, wrought by her own
skillful fingers, were the gifts with which .
she meant to delight hiin. What a troop
of pleasure fancies was in her heart! - How
almost impatiently did she wait for the
coming twilight, which was to be dawn
not approaching darkness to her. .
At last; she heard- the step of her -hus
band in the passage, and her pilfse leaped
with fluttering delight. Like - a bird up
on the wing, she almost flew down to meet
iMpatient fur the kiss that awaited
her.
To men in the world of business; few
days pass' without' their disappointments
and perplexities. It is men's business to
bear this in a manly spirit. - They form
but aportion of life's discipline, and should
make them stronger, braver, and More.eu
during. Unwisely, and we maisay un
justly, too many men fail to leave their
business cares and troubles in their stores,
workshops or counting rooms, at the day's
decline. They wrap thenrin bundles and
carry them home to shadow their house
' holds.
It was so with the young husband on
this .particula`r occasion. The stream of
business had taken an eddying whirl, and
thrown his vessel backwards, instead of
onward 4, for a brief space, and though it
was still in the current, and gliding safe
ly onward
. against it, the jar and —disap
pointment; had fretted his mind severely.
There was uu heart-warmth in the kiss he
gave his wife, and beeause he had let care
overshadow love. He drew his arm around
her ; but she was conscious of a diminish
ed pressure in that embracing arm.
'• Are you not well ?"
With what tender concern was the ques
tion .asked
"Very well."
lie might be in body, :bid not in - mind;
that was plain; Ibr his voice was far from
being cheerful.
She played and sang her favorite pieces,
hoping to restore, by•thecharm of music,
brightness to his spirit. But she was
conscious of only partial success. There
was still a gravity in his manner never
perceived before. At tea-time she smiled
upon him so sweetly across the table, and
talked to him on such elective themes,
that the right expression returned to las
countenance; and he looked as happy as
she could desire.
From the tea-table, they returned, to
their pleasant parlor. And now the time
has come for offering the coveted reward
of glad surprise, followed by sweet.kisSes
and loving words. Missile selfish ? Did
she think more of reward than of the
pleasure of she would bestow ? But that
is questioning too closely..
. " I will be back in a moment," she said;
and, passing from the room, she want
lightly
,up the stairs. Both tone and
manner betrayed her secret, or rather the
possession of a secret by which herhusbabd
was to be surprised. Scarcely had her
loving face faded • from before his eyes,
when thought returned, with a single
bound, to an unpleasant event of the day;
and the waters of his spirit were again
troubled. He had actually arisen, and
crossed the -floor once or twice, moved by
a restless concern, when his wife came
back with. the dressing-gown and :slippers:
She was trying to force her countenance
into a grave expression, to hold back the
smiles that were continually striving to
break in truant circles around her lips,
when a single glance at her husband's
faro told her that the spirit driven away
by the exorcism of her love, had returned
again to. bosom. He looked at her
soberly, as she came forward.
" What are these ?" he asked, almost
coldly repressing surprise, and affecting
an . ignorance in regard to the beautiful
present she held in her hands, that he
did not feel.
"They are for you, dear'•, I made them."
" For toe ? Nonsense ? IYhat do I
want with such -jimerackery I This is
woman's wear, Do you think I would
disfigure my feet with embroidered slip
pers, or dress up in a calico gown ! -Put
them away, dear. Your husband is too
witch of a man to robe himself in gay
colors, like a olown or an actor." And
he waved his hand with an air of contempt.
There was a cold sneering manner -about
him, partly affected and partly real—the
real burn of his uncomfortable state of
mind. Yet he loved his sweet wife; and
would not, of set purpose,. have wounded
her for,the world.
This unexpeeted repulse—this.cruel
re
ception of her.presenyover which she had
wrought, patiently, in golden , hopes, for
many hours,--this dashing to the earth of
her brimful cup of joy, just as it touched
her lips, was more than the fond young,
,wife could bear. To hide -the tears that
came rushing to his eyes, she turned away
frOm her husband; and, to Conceal the
sobs she had no power to rePres's, she went
almost hurriedly froni the:room ; and going
back to the chamberfrom whence'slid had'
brought the present, she laid it away. out
of sight in a closet. Then kovering her face
With her hands,
she sat down - and strove
with herself. obe calm. But that. shad ,
ow eras toe deep---the heartache to heavy.
In a little while her husbarid, followed .
her, and 'discovering, something to his
surprise, that she was weeping, said'in a
blightly reproving voice.:—" Why, bless
me ! nut in tors! What a silly little
puss you are! Why didn't you tell me
you thought of making a dressing-gown
and a pair of slippers, and. I would have
vetoed the matter at once ? You couldn't
hire me to weir such - ,flaunting things.
Come back to the parloe r —he took hold
of her arm, and lifted her from the chair
—"singand play for me. ' The Dream
Waltz' or"‘ The Tremolo . ," Dearest May,'
or The Stilly Night' are worth more to
me than forty' dressing-gowns, or a cargo
of embroidered slippers.".
Almost by force, he led her back to the
parlor, and placed her on the music stool.
He selected a favorite piece, and laid it
before her. But tears Were in her eyes;
and she could nut see a note. Over the
keys her fingers passed in skillful touches;
but, when she tried to take up the song,
utterance,failed; and sobs broke forth in
stead of words: ,
" How foolish !" said the husband in a
vexed tone. ' I'm surprised at you !"
And he turned front the piano, and Walk
ed across the room.
A little while the sad young: wife re
mained where she was left thus alone and
is partial auger. Then, rising., she went
slowly from the room—her husband not
seeking to restrain her—and, going back
to her chamber, sat- down in darkness.
Die Aadow which had been cast upon
her spirit was very deep; and although
the hidden sun came out again right early,
it was a lung time before his beams had
power to scatter the clouds that floated in
love's borrizon.
The shadows we cast ! Father, hus
band; wife, sister, brother, son, neighbor
—are we not all casting shadows, daily, on
some hearts that are pining for the sun
light of onr faces ? We have given you
two pictures, not as a mirror, but as a
kaleidoscope. In all their infinitely varied
relations, men and women selfishly or
thoughtlessly—from design, weakness or
ignarauce—and casting their shadows up=
on hearts that are pining for sunlight..
A word, a look, a tone, an act will cast a
shadow, and sadden a spirit for hours and
days. Speak kindly, act kindly, be for
getters of self, and you will cast but a few
shadows along the path of:life.. The true
gentlemen is always tender of the feelings
of others—always watchful, lest he wound
unintentionally--always thinking, when
with others, of their pleasure instead of
his own. He casts but few shadows. Be
gentlemen—ladies, or—in word that in
cludes all grace and excellencies—Chris
tians ; for it is the Christian - who casts
fewest shadows of all.-

LETTER FRO;tI NEW YORK.
From our Regular Corrcgpondent.
NEW YOR4i, May IA 1858
.
MR. EDITOR: The second week in
May of every year, for us sojourners in
Gotham . , is . always. a season not only of
freshets but of great refreshing. The
clouds at that genial springtime -season
pour out their fatness, and spouters from
every part of the country,' just full ,
enough for utterance, pour out their;
platitudes upon the just and the unjust.
Every—institution of our country which
thrives by talk, and grows on freedom of
speech., holds -an anniversary here on - the
second week in May to compare notes,
hear reports of committees, -lay plans for
future operations, discuss ways and means.
and go into a little harmless mutual ad
miration generally.- -
But which of the many anniversaries
shall I attend? Where shall I go to
pick up the- most interesting incidents.
for your readers ? I am attracted most
where there is strife, agitation, commo
tion; where there is eoinhat - between opin
ion, struggle of ideas againstideaS, con
tention among, intellectual giants. That
place, 'preiiminent over all others this
time, is the .anniversary meeting of the
American Traot Society. There a mighty
question. is under discussion—shall the i
Society publish a trait -against Slavery?
—and the _cohorts of either host have
mustered fronuall parts of the country to
mingle in the combat. Fifteen hundred
clergymen and laymen filled one of our
commodious • churehes at-9-in the morn
ing and' Dr. Adams, Chairman 'of the
Publishing Conamittee, read a tell argued
and temperate ;report, - setting,. forth, the
I ditEdalties which had arisen unexpectedly
i during_ the year to prevent the publica
-1 tin of the.anti-slavery tract, - and stated
that, the committee had simply delayed
its issue to confer farther with the entire
. , . .
Society. Then ishop[Mellyaine of Ohio
and Dr. Tyng o this city followed ; the
one in
_enthusiaStic support of the com
mittee, and. the ther in an able and well
considered spec h,. alo supporting i the
committee, but : closing .with a motion -to
instruct, the. , coMinitte,e to publish ,the
tract, during the coming year or as-soon .
as practicable. .IDr. Tytig's motion was
voted down. Then came other sinillar
propositions and along With theta a scene
of confusion, noise and disorder seldom
witnessed in a,churcli. Cries of "ques
tion," ."order,'" "Mr. President," laugh
ter; applause and hisses resounded from
tinie to time through the house, and for
many minutes at a time. Dr. De Witt,
pastor. of the church, had repeatedly to
appeal to members to "preserve the sanc
tity of this house." • The occasion was
certainly the rarest specimen of "church
militate_ that ever came under my ob
sertration. Dr. Bethune of Brooklyn,
Dr. Bacon of New Haven and Dr. Thomp
son, editor of the Independen4 were the
principal gladiators wlitil contended in the
arena arid commanded a hearing in spite
Of distil, batice,'and they mach wretched
havoc with each other,inositions.
As an impartial obsetver . I should say
much of the confusion arose from the
amiable inefficiency of the President of
the assembly. In his endeavo - r to hear
all sides and respond to. every call on
"Mr. President," he failed to protect a
speaker after he had assigned him the
floor, and so the audienCe fell into con
fusion from slicer lack of government,
rather than
.from any specie.'
. proneness
to disorder or determination on the part
of the members to create confusion. Af
ter a contest of six hours the report was
adopted and the committee sustained by
re-election, which is taken to he air indi
cation that no tract against slavery will
be issued for some" time to come.
The -next meeting where passion ran
high and the clash of argumentative arms
reverberated to the
.echo, was the Gar
risonian Abolition and Disunion Society.
There the - flag of the Union was torn to,
tatters, the church denounced as the
"Bulwark of American Slavery," the late
revival of religion chara r eterized as spu
rious, Russia patted on the back for eman
cipation of her Serfs, and all our political
parties, Democrats, Auericans and Re
publicans, were consigned-to one common
infamy as alike recrcant to freedom,-
Dere l also, sharply defined .antagonisins
jutted out, prominently luckless oppo
nents were mercilessly impaled on the
spears of warriors madd skillful by the
drill and practice of years in the arena of
debate, and whb, despising carnal weap
ons, make all the wore trenchant use of
the sword of the spirit.; and here too the
cheers of the faithful and hisses of those
who were "sound on the goose" every
where prevailed.
Then came the Convention of Women
and those who do battle for the rights of
women.. Mozart Hall, one of the largest(
in the city, was kept full two days, and
three sessions a day, to hear the olcistag
ers and prominent debaters on the "We
man Question." Here the . women, as
usual, had things pretty much their own,
way. The large and intelligent audience
seemed to have coine, for instruction rath
er than for dissent. The principal right
claimed by the advocates was the right
to rote—all other rights, it was contend
ed,
would follow.and be gained for women
in that single central one, A - few speak
ers wandered .off into anti-marriage and
impracticalisms of that. sort; but they
were mostly outsiders and the convention
was kept pretty,firmly to the question of
the ballot: Mrs. Lucy Stone Blackwell
and the Rev. Mrs. 'Antoinette L.
Brown, exhibited the case, propriety
and dignity with which women could,en
,
* a ,, e in the lighter brandies of agricul
ture, and maintained that there was the
best kind of remuneration in it: The
crops raised by a woman would sell at as
- high a price as. those of the sturdiest
man farmer. It is a ina4im in commerce
everywhere, that corn is corn and "eggs
is eggs," and there could be no cutting
down to half price because produced by a
woman. Mrs. Stone said there was a
woman in the audience,
and, she. had a
o.ood mind to ask her to let the audience
see her, to shot how delicate, refined and
womanly she was, who last year made
$1,600 by two mouths work of her own
hands in her - OWn little strawberry gar
den.. In view of results like these, Mrs.
Stone continued, she was ashamed of ever
baring claimed clerkships and the paltry
wages thereto attached as belonging to
the sphere of woman.
Our Bible, Missionary, Sunday School,
Temperance and, other Soeibties held their
anniversaries according "ta i the usual pro
gramme, and were troubled with no bick
erings nor bomb shells. There has been
a slight falling l otr in the ;general funds,
but that, it is thought, will be more than
made up this year by thereeent r additions
everywhere made to the elmrch.
