Armand this lovely valley rise' '
The purple hills of Paradise.
Oh, softly on yon hanks of haze .
Her rosy face the Summer lays I • .
- Becalmed along. the azure sky,
The argosies of.cloudland lie, .
Whose.shores, with many a shining rift,
Far'off their peal-1.-white peaks Uplift_ •
Through all-the long midsummer-day
The meadow-sides are sweet with hay.
I seek the coolest sheltered seat
Just where the field and forest meet,-;--
Where grow the nine-trees tall and bland,
The ancient oaks austere add grand,
And' fringy roots and pebbles fret . •
The ripples of the rivulet. .
I watch the mowers as they go -
Throngh the tall grass, a white-sleeved row ;
With even stroke their scythes they swing,
In tune their merry whetstones ring; -
Behind- the nimble youngsters run
And toes' the thick swaths in the sun ;
The cattle graze , while, -warm- and still,
Slopes the broad pasture, basks the hill,
And bright, when summer breezes break,
The green wheat crinkles like a lake.
The butterfly and humble-bee
Come to the pleasant woods with me;
Quickly before me runs the quail,
The chickens skulk behind the rail,
High up the lone wood-pigeon sits,
And.the woodpecker pecks and flits,.
Sweet woodland music sinks and swells,
The brooklet rings' its tinkling bells,
The swarming insects drone and hum,
The patridge beats his throbbing drum.
The squirrel leans among the boughs,
And chatters iu his leafy house.
The oriole flashes by; and, look!
Into the mirror of the brook, . •
Where the vain blue-bird trims his cue;
Two tiny feathers fall and float
As silently, as tenderly,
The down of peace descends on me.
Oh, this is peace I have no-need
Of friend to talk, of book to read:
A dear Companion here abides :
Close to my thrilling heart he hides; . -
The h. ly silence is His Voice
I lie and listen, and rejoice.
Give las the morning that flows out-of heaven ;
Give I as the waves when their channel is ri
'Ven ;
Give.? as the free air and sunshine are given;
-,Lavishly, utterly, carelessly give.
Not the waste drops of thy - cup overflowing,
Not the faint sparks - of thy earth ever
_glow-
lug;
Not a pale bud from he Jume rose's blowing ;
Give as Ile gave thee, who gave tboe to live.
Pour out tby love like the rush °fa. river
Wasting its love forever and ever,
Through the burnt sands that reward .not the
girer.
Silent or songful, thou nearest the sea.
Scatter the life as the Summer shower'§ - pour
- ing
What if clo bird through the pearl-rain is
•
soaring ?
What if no blossom looks upward adoring:2
Look to the life that. was lavished for thee I
Give I though thy heart may be wasted and
weary;
Laid on an altar all ashes and dreary;
Though from•its pulse a faint miserere
Beats to thy soul the sad presage of fate,
Bind it with cords of ashrinking devotion;
Smile at the song of its restless emotion ; .
'Tie the sterns hymn of eternity's ocean;
Hear ! and in silence thy future await.
Eo the wild wind strews its perfumed caresses,
Evil and thankless the - desert it blessei,'
Bitter thaWave that its soft Pinion presses,
Never it ceaseth to whisper and sing.
What if the hard heart give thorns for. thy
.
roses ?
What if on rocks thy tired bosom reposes?
Sweetest is music with minor-keyed closes,
Fairest the vine That on ruin will cling.
Almost the day of thy giving is over;
Ere from the grass dies the bee haunted' clo-
ver,
-Thou wilt have vanished from friend and from
lover
What shall thy longing avail in the grave?
Give as the heart gives whose fetters are
brettking,
Life, love. and hope, all thy dreams and. .thy
waking,

Lizzie slept soundly for two hoursond
thee awoke siiddenly. She sit up,
glanced_ at the'olock, and Sighed .dreadily
at the - prospect-of the lotto.. interval still
to be spent alone before bed time: •
The library was just over the room in
which she sat, and down the furnace flue,
througli the - registers, a voice came to the
young ears; it was her iiusband's.
" Moore, what's a • man to do ?-Z.
I was disappointed and must-have pleas
ure somewhere. Who would' bare fan
cied that Lizzie Jarvis, so petty, spright
ly, and loving, could have changed - to the
fretful dowdy she is now ? :Who wants
to stay at home to-hear his wife whining
all the evening about her troublesome
servants, and her headache and all sorts
of bothers ? She's got the knack of that
drawling whine so pat, that, '.pon iny.life,
I don't believe she can speak pleasantly."
Lizzie sat as if stunned.
.. Was this
true ? She looked into the glass. If not
dawdy her costume was certainly not
suitable for an evening, even if it were
an evening at home with only Williays to
admire. She arose and softly went to
her own room, with bitter sorrowful
thoughts, and a firm resolution to win
back her husband's heart, and then, his
love regained, to keep it.
The next morning William, came into
the breakfast room with his usual careless
manner but a bright smile oaths to his
lip as lie saw Liizie. A pretty chintz
with a pretty collar and sleeves of snowy
muslin, and a wealth of soft-, full curls,
had really metinaorphosed her; while the
blush her husband's admiring glanee
called up to-her cheek, did not detract
from her beauty. At first, William tho't
there - must be a guest, but glancing he
found they were alone.
"Come, William your e,offee will be
stone- cold,' said. rLiztie;i• in , tr cherry,
pleasant voice.
"It must Cool till you sweeten my
breakfast with a kiss," said her husband
crossing the room to her side; and Liz
zie's heart bounded as she recognized the
old lover's tones and manners. -
Not one fretful speech, .not one com
plaint fell lapi] William's ear through
the meal. The newspaper, his usual so
lace during that hour, lay untouched, -as
Lizzie chatted gaily on every pleasant
subject she .could think of, warming by
- his gratified interest and cordial manner.
"You will be home to dintier 7" she
said as he went out.
"Can't to-day, Lizzie, I have . business
out of town, but`l'll be home wily to tea.
Have something substantial, for I don't
expect to dine. Good-bye," • and the
smiling look, warm kiss and lively whis
tle were a milted contrast to his careless,
lounging gait of the evening previotis..
" I am in the right path," said Lizzie
in a low whisper. " COL! what a fool 1
have been for, the last two years ! A
fretful dowdy William, you shall
never say that again."
Lizzie loved her husband with real
wifely devotion, and her lip would quiver
as she thought of his confidence to his
friend Moore; bat like a brave little wo
man she stifled back the bitter feel
ing, and tripped off to perfect her
plans. The grand piano, silent • for
months, was opened, and the-linen covers
from -the furniture, Lizzie 04.0-
ing—" 11/3 shan't ,find•any parlors • more
attractive than Lis own, I am

Tea time came, and William game with
it. A little figure in a tasty, briglit, silk
dress,
smooth ':curls, and, h such a lovely
blush and smile, Stood ready to welcome
Williatqas he came in ; and tea time
passed : as the morning meal had done.
After tea, there was no movement, as
usual, ,toward .the hat-rack. William stood
un beside-the table lingering; chatting,
till Lizzie also arose. . She led him to the
light, warm parlors, in• their pretty glow

have awakened. to spiritual life hundreds
or, millions of dormant souls. In things
of less moment, reading ;has a wondrous
power.. ~Geotge Law,, a :boy, on his fath
er's. farm, met an' old :unknown- -book,
whkh - told -the - Stery-o - fitariner's son- who
went away to Seek,hia fortune,and
.came
home after many yours' iabsente,, a rich
man, and gave treat sums to all ,his rela
tions: • From that moment, George was
uneasy, till he set out on his travels to
imitate the adventurer he lived- over
again the life he had readotandactually
did return a millionaire, and paid all his
father's debts. Robins)ii Croscie has sent
to sea more, sailors than the press gang.-
The story about little George' Washington
telling the truth about the hatchet and
the plumtree, - has made many a truth
teller. , We owe all the Waverly Novels
to Scott's early reading of the old tradi
tions and legends ; and the whole body of
pastoral fiction came from
Sketchei of Sir Roger DeCoverly, in the
Spectator.. But iliustrations are num
berless; i Tremble, ye who write,and - ye
who publish writiag! 'pamphlet- has
precipi:ated a revolution. A paragraph
may quench or kindle the celestial -spark
in a' human soul—in, my triads of souls.

A Won w YotiNci 31Ex.—One of
the meanest things a Young man can do.
and it is , not of uncommon occurrence, is
to monopolise the time and attention of a
young girl for a year,, or more, without
any definite' object, and to the ekclusion
of other Fentiomen, who supposing. him
to ha:ve , matrimonial inteotions,"absent
themselves from her society.' This self
