'air The following, from the pen of James
G. Percival, Is one of the most touching pr , nns
In the Enolish language. It, moreover; tells
the story of many a breaking heart: '
TIIE DESERTED .WIFE.
He comes not—l have watched the moon go
Bat yet be comes not. once It *as not , so.
De thinks not koWthese bitter teari.do
The while he holds his riot in that town.-,,
Yet he will come andchide'and T, Shall Weep,
And he will wake my infantfroin its steep,
To blend its feeble wailing's with my tears.
01 how I lore a mothees watch to keep, •
Over those sleeping eyes, that smile, which
cheers
My heart, though sunk in sorrow fixed - and
deep.
I had - a husband once, who loved me—now
He ever wears a frown upon his brow, .
And feeds his passion on a wanton's lip, •
As bees from laurel flowers a poison sip.
But yet I cannot hate: 01 there were hours
When I could hang for erer on hiS eye,'
And Time, who stole with silent swiftness by.
Strewed, as be • hurried on, his path with
flowers.
I loved him then—he loved me, too. My heart
Still finds its fondness kindle if he smile;
The memory of our loves will ne'er depart;
And though he often sting me with a dart, .
Venomed and barbed, and waste upon the vile
Caresses which his babe and mine shouli
share,— •
Though he should spurn me,- 7 —l will calmly
bear
His madness; and should sickness come - and
lay
Its paralyzing•band upon him, thew .
I would with kindness all my wrongs repay,
Until the penitent should weep sad say
How injured and how faithful I had been. •
Crowned with limp dew pearls, lot the jewelled
morn
Peeps coYly oer the mist-plumed eastern hills;
I trot ere long she'll make the si! . ..ery ril:s,
That now lie sleeping like pale maids forlorn,
Smile as young mother when her firstling's
born;
A':d lay her finger on each flowret's lip;
Softly as swalloW iu the pool doth dip
Its airy wing, till blushes rich adore
Their tingling cheeks, and Flora sings for joy.
Sweet morn I I wculd not now be dead in
sleep,
Whilst thou rid'st forth in crimsnn chariot fair,
Fur all the treasures of yon u-,een deep.

With these compared : wealth seems an idiot's
toy!
'ln the way of true, forcible, and poetic
similes, the following. by Adelaide Proctor.
I:as not been often surpassed. A boy is speak
ing of his infantine recollections of his dead
mother.:
The mere thought
Of her great lore for me has brought -
Tears in my eyes. Though far away,
It seems as it were yesterday.
And just as when .I look on high -
Through the blue silence of the sky,
Fresh stars shine out, and more and more
Where I could see so few before;
So, the more steadily I gaze,
Upon those far-off misty days,
Fresh words, fresh tones, fresh memories start
Before my eyes and in my heart.

Just where the Tioga winds out from
among the - hills in -the on hero part of
Tioga county, stanns miniature Potts
ville, called Blussbur Blackburg, would
be truer to its complexion ying noth
ing of its other attributes. From the
. eights above, the Vile presents a wild,
wierd aspect. Its. painted buildings on
either side of the dark streets, look like
the white sails of commerce 'fluttering
through a dark. whirling sea of coal dust.
This coal den stands at the terminus of
the Corning and Blossburg railroad, but
preparations are beihg made to extend the
line seven miles deeper into the heart of
the coal region. .The.mines are,not very
extensively worked at present, they dis
charging only about one hundred tons
daily. Not the least interesting among
the features of the place, is the inclined
plane, by means of which-the coal is trans.
potted from its home among the hills, to
the level grade below. - A - cranch strikes
off at a right angle from the main track,
and goes up the steep hill a quarter of a
mile, double track ; forming an inclination
of over five degrees. It is exceedingly
interesting to see the cars ascend and de
sceed,the heavy grade, passing each oth
er, one laden, the other empty; yet one
goes up as far as the other comes down.
for they balance each other by means of
a heavy wire cable with the ends attach
ed to each car, and the middle passing
over a huge drum at the heid of the plane.
The speed of the drum is regulated by
brakes, and the whole operation is simple
and effective.
Havino ° a curiosity to follow the empty
car that kept sweeping' round a curve
above the drum house, and returning full
of the. black diamonds; my companion
and myself started fm: a visit to the mines
this morning The . day was bright and
warm, : and the water "•eleog

gleamed in the early ann-liglit as it came
trickling down the rocks. it had a string

commenced lining his carwith thin piee

with its blackend aides, and in a moment'
we entering the region of mists and gloom
which, closed around -us with more than
midnight darkness. ', The road was low
and narrow, not . permitting a very long
smoke pipe on our human engine; brit
through the nicely lubricated Valves there
eiu.e an occasional shriek which we in
terpreted as meaning "look out for your
heads." - .Then by the dim light of his
lanip could be sent] the solid masses of
rock sweeping down close to our car and
gliding sullenly- past. Now a rumbling
sound and a twinkling light-- far ahead,
warned us of the approach of another car
going out. This we passed after a little
delay, when our guide began pointing out
great-boulders of 'rock which had fallen
from -over head, and rather coolly, we
thought, asked us ; "how would you like
to, have been under that ?"- After hav
ing assured him that the idea was not at
all agreeade, we hastened to leave the
spot, and came presently upon` what leek
ed like a group of spectres, but they prov ,
ed to be . hutuan beings like ourselves,
and 'not:as : fancy it, ghouls,
ready to pack us a•vay in the halls of 'per
dition. They evidently considered the
heart of a mountain as dot . being exactly
the place for exchange of drawing-room
courtesies with every stray waif that
might fancy a peep at their dominion;
for they were as silent as the rocky walls
on which they were looking. To one of
an imaginative turn of mind, here was an
atuedance of room fur the exercise of a
poetic fancy. Strange fancies would now
and then dart through our matter-of-fact
and practical brain. _lndeed, it was hard
sometimes to keep these flighty fellows
from running away with ; reason. The
exceeding 'narrowness . , of .the way—the
dismal rumbling of our car—the gliding
of the walls and the strange looking eves
of our guide, that constantly peered at
us tarough the almost fiendish glare of
the smoke and flame that diffused-itself
over his countenance, making him look
like an illuminated death's head set in
black marble, and following us with som
bre wings that seemed to hover around in
every direction—were suggestive of any
thing but the realms of. light and peace.
4 short turn, a sudden halt, and a faint
light from a vault at the right, told- that
our journey was at an end—that we were
imthe place of the coal king; whose royal
privilege it is to difftise light and glad
ness, daily, over thousands of hearth's
and homes. Thus it is; from such bum
ble and obscure sources as these ; there
issue -streams ot blessings thatiflowing on
ward, falland mingle together idthe great
sea of eternal good. And thus it is - that
every earnest demand, backed by tin ac
tual necessity which is made .upon Na
ture; is sure to meet With an answering
revelation of her secret treasures.
In the low chamber before us were clus
tered the laborers, praying with blows;
petitioning with spades and Mattocks for
the favor of their - ged: We left them at
their voiceless invocations; and in a few
moments looked out on the blue, rejoie•
ing sky once more.
In the evening, just as the twilight be:
gan to fall; the opening ehime of the Cath
olic Church bell, ,and the ,crowds. below
flocking towards the building, proclaimed
evening service. It was a dull, uninter
esting performance, for such it might be
justly 'calla':
. The: singing was nothing
but .a continued, monotoLous chant, Which
with the other exercises was quite in
comprehensible. How different were the
emotions awakened here, froku those ex
perienced in a Gerinan .meeting houSe,
visited at 1 o'cluek of_the same day. We
arrived only in time_ to hear the conchid

his adze around a cask. '"Ali r said he,
"mine is 'a hard lot-r-forever trotting

" Heigho I" sighed our' neighbor, the
blacksmith, in one of the hot days, as he
wiped the drops of prespiration from his
brow, while , his red hot, iron glowed on
the anvil; "this is life with a vengeance,
melting and frying one's self over the
fire." " Oh, that I. were a carpenter!"
ejaculated a shoemaker as he bent over
his lap.stone; "here I am;day after day,

head over some perplexing.case, or pours
over some dry record, "happy fellows ! I
had rather hammer stone than cudgel my

Evening before a Wedding
" I will tell you," continued her aunt
to Louisa, 'two things' which . I have
fully proved. The first go far to
wards preventing the possibility, of any
discoid after [ marriage ; the second is
the best and surest preservative of fem
inine character."
" Tell me 1"1 said Louisa, anxiously.
" The first is this—to demand of your
bridegroom, as sooti as, the marriage cere
mony is over, a solemn vow, and promise
yourself, never; even in jest, to
,dispute,
or express any disagreement, I tell you.
never!, for what liegings in mere, ban
tering:, will lead to serious earnest. Avoid
expressing any irntation at one another,s
Words. Mutual forbearance is tho one
great secret of domestic happiness If
you have erred, confess it freely, even if
confession costa you some tears. Further,
promise taithftilty and solemnly never,
