There are some hearts that, like the loving
vine,
Cling to unkindly rocks and ruined turers ;
Spirits that suffer and 'do not pine,
Patient and sweet as lowly trodden flowers
I That from the passer's heel arise,
And give back odorous breath instead of sighs.
But there are other hearts that will not feel
The lowly love that haunts their eyes and
ears ;
That wound fond faith with anger worse than
steel.
And out of pity's spring draw idle tears.
0, Nature shall it ever be thy will
In things with good to mingle good and ill?
Why should the heavy foot of sorrow press
The willing heart of uncomplaining love—
Meek charity that shrink's not from distress,
Gentleness does hir tyrants so reprove---
Though virtue weep forever and lament,
Will one hard heart turn to her and relent?
Why should the reed be broken that trill bend, -
And they that dry the tears in others' eyes
Feel their own anguish swelling
without end.
Their summer darkened with the smoke of
sighs?
Sure. Love to some Pair Eden of his own
Will flee at last and leave us here alone.
Love- weepeth always; weepeth, for the past,
For woes that are, for woes that may betide;
Why should not hard ambition weep - at last,
Envy and hatred, avarice and pride?
Fate Arbisrers sorrow ever is our lot,
They would be rebels—love rebelleth not.

MISCELLANY.
Front Gcdcy's Lad/'s 1>r , 0.4.
MR. AND M as. RAMER.
BY TILE AIiTLIOR OF " MISS SLI3I3IENS."
Say. Mr. Rasher, are you going to buy
a new house, or are von net ? " You
don't know ?" Well, /du! You owned
up yesterday that the clear profits of your
business this year was over twenty thou
sand dollars, and if we 're ever going to
live in a brown stone front, note 's the
time. You don't make twenty thousand
dollars every year cutting up pork, or, if
you expect to after this, it's. high. time
we was talia r , our proper position before
the world. I, fur one, intend to go out
a little more than I have. I've got things
to go with, and I intend to go.
You 're afraid people will make liyht
of-us as well as our lard oil ? Fiddle
sticks, Rasher.! I wish you would quit
them everlasting; puns. It's vulgar to
pun; a very low species of wit, indeed, I
heard Mrs. De Longue say so,- the night
I was to her reception. You can't help
it; you must interlard your conversation
with 'ma ? Good Lord, flasher! whatever
else you do, leave 3•oar business behind
you when you come home. I declare the
silk curtains in the parlor have an odor
'of it ! Don't bridle up so ? There it
comes again ; it's enough to drive a wo,nian
mad ! You can't help "cutting up; . "
you're so used to it ? Now, look a here,
1 husband, we're going to Settle this matter
about the house this morning, or we're
not going to settle it. If you'll quit that
nonsense and listen to reason, I'll toll you
what my ideas are; but ,if you don't, I
won't say another word. Then you guess
you'll keep on ? and if you do you won't
i - aet me to keep still. That's just what
j you want; you'd be glad if I never open
ed my lips, though which of us is capa
ble of speaking with the most propriety
I'll leave other pe-ople to judge,
I picked out a house- yesterday after
noon that suits vie; and, as a woman is
suppoSed to be the best judge of such
matters as the house she lives in and has
to stay in from one „year's end to another,
why, if you can pay for it, that's enough.,
It's a brown-stone front, four story and
baseinent,stoops and 4alustrades of brown-
stone, massive
.and handsome; style of
architecture modern Italie, and not sur-,
pasSed by any of 'similar size in the city.
I remember just what the advertisement,
said, which was the reason of my going
to see it. It 'II be finished next week.,
It's twenty feet front, and commands a,
beautiful view of the neighboring houses,
which are all just as nice and aristocrat.
ical as our own: It's because I liked the
neighborhood so well that I wanted that
house in particular. "What's the price?"
Sixteen thousand dollars, and considered
cheap, considering the Avenue and the
Park. Eight thousand dollars. will fur
nish it froin garret to cellar; library, pic
tures, and everything, and we can get a
man to do it ail without taking any troub
le ourselves. You've got thirty thousand
in the bank, I know, and, with your bu
siness, you need not be afraid but that
you can—" Save your bacon !" 0 dear,
Mr. Rasher! if you're going to continue
zo vulgar, I 'don't know as there'll be any
use in-our trying to get where we ought
to be,
E. A. JOXES
The girls will be home from boarclin%
school to their winter vacation in - the lat
ter part of December, and I'd like to get
all moved, and settled, and furnished,
and axed before they come home, just to
give 'em a pleasant surprise. There,
Rasher! I knew you bad some fatherly
feeling about you, if you had no pride.
You're in no hurry this morning, I know.

CHAPTER I
THE NEIV HOUSE
COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1860
Just wait a minute till rget my bonnet
and shawl, and let's go round and luoli
at it.
Ain't it a beauty ? Them balusters
are superb! Step in and look at the par
lors; two and'nn extension; and behind
the staircase here's a sweet little room,
which I shall fix up as a boudoir. I'll be
as much at home in it as a pig in a flow
er-garden ? Humph ! You're extremely
complimentary to your wife, my dear; but
I sba'u't resent it here, before all these
workmen. You can say what you please
I suppose it was my misfortune to marry
a man in the pork•packing business whose
mind - is always running—on all fours ?--
will you quit interrupting me, or not ? —
whose mind-is always running on his
business. If you'd only drop it at home
and in company, I wouldn't care, seeing
it's made us so -much money; but, as it
is, I am almost driven--into a pit: pen?
—almost driven to distraction. You're
uncommon provoking this mornintr, Mr.
Rasher.
This is a splendid house to give a par
ty in; and.l've made up my wind to give
the biggest one of the season, if we get
moved and settled in time. You -hate
parties ? Of course you do • you hate ev
erything that I like. You'd be contented
to sit down, and / smoke your pipe, and
drink your- sherry forever in the back sit
ting-room of that little, mean, three-story
brick. You've no ambition, and you've
no feeling for your wife. Oh, you needn't
be putting your aru. around my waist and
hugging me, with that fellow there a
painting them friskoes looking Tight at
us.. I wish you'd remember what I've
told you so often—that it's dreadfully
out of taste to be showing yotir family
feelings in public. When we go out to
gether you shouldn't speak to me, no
more'n if I wasn't there; 'stead of that,
you invariably keep hanging around we,
'and every once and while burst out with:
'" Say, Marier, did you hear that ?" or,
," Come here, Marier, and set side of your
busbalid a while • " or, " 3larier, I won
der if the children are doing well to
' home ?" And / that night we played for
feits to Mrs. Fitz-Simmorts's and you was
judged to kiss one of the ladies fur a pun.
ishment, what did yon do but kiss ///e
right before the hull crowd ! Wasn't
[that punishment enough? You need.ft
try to turn it off with a joke. You know
it was a bleach of etiquette, if not actu
-1 ally immodest, to choose out tour own
wife in all that company. You was too I
bashful to choose anybody else ; and, be- !
sides,' you hadn't yet got tired of kissing
-
[your own partner? Pshaw ! that's all
' well enough to home. I could see the!
Widow Granger looked disappointed. Oh,
now, don't voter up, dear! Come up
stairs and look at the next story. There!
This is the apartment I've settled on for
ourselves ; it's eighteen by twenty, and/
you always like an airy c [coping room ;1
and, what makes it pleasant for me, is
that it looks right over at Dr. Yellow
Dock's house; and, as I shall set here al
great deal, I can see their company going
in and out, and when they take a ride in
their carriage, and how they dress their!
servants,-ard everything. They're very
fashionable people, and they've made
their money, every cent of it, within live /
years.
Speaking of carriages, Rasher, we can't
net along any longer with our one horse
and our single chaise. We must, after
we go into this Imes°, have a pair of black
horses, and a carriage with our arms upon
it, and a place for the footman to hold on
behind. Sit down in the window here,
,
and take it easy; I want to settle it about
the livery, eta. You don't see as there
will be any necessity for us going to the,
livery, if we have an establishment of our
own ; and as for arms . , we'd better keep
1 eur arms la it instead of on it ? Dear,
dear ! husband, I wouldn't have bad Mrs.
Fitz Simmons - beard you say that for the
world; she'd have had her whole set gig
gling about it the nextl time we came
where she was. Of couise bin- servants
must dress In - liven' ; at least have capes
to their coats and - buttons en their caps.
Don't you know whether any of the Rash,
ers, in the old country, over had a coat-1
of-arms? You might consult the book,
of 13eraldkr, and fled out. If there was,!
you must have it painted oa the carriage
door, mad engraved on all the plate; if
there Lever was, why, we'll just invent
one, that's all. What arc you cluing on
that scrap of paper, Rasher ? A coat-of
arms ? Dear me! I didn't know as you
knew enough. Let we see it, won't you?

"Ain't it sweet, Mrs. Basher? My
father used: to think a great deal of that
wotto; and that's 'the way I came to be
rich. It means, literally (Lye got it in
_Latin there), that Discretion is the better
parl of valor."
If-you cah't do anything but cast
}cute on yourself and your wife from morn
log till night, we. might as well stay in
our obscurity: You aren't casting ridi
cule on me; the wild boar forms part of
the coat-of arms of some. of the noblest
families of Scotland and England ? Oh,
that alters the easel If you really think,
IRasher, it Would be aristocratic and just
, the right thing, and if you think our
!friends will see it in the same light you
'do, why, I like it well enough. When
will you get it engraved ? I wish you'd
stop to Ball Black's and order a set of
solid silver to be made, to be done in time
for the party, and our arms on it.
Chine, let's look at the wine -collar;
you must learn to talk about your wine
cellar, Rasher, if you want to make. an
impression on the men. Everything
down here is mighty nice and convenient
—but, la! that's the servant's business. '1
I'm c aoin ,, . t' to pretend, when I gat a new
set, titatl don't know a coal bin from a
wash-tub. That'll be a pretty way to
have myself imposed upon ? Well! you're
able to stand a little imposition, and you
don't suppose I'm going to let 'cm see
ever stepred -in a kitchen. My hands
'show it? No, they don't; and I'm going
to keep 'em done up nights in old gloves,
and oil 'em every- night with—lard oil ?!
—stuff! with rose cream.
Let's go I tell me first uhether you've
concluded to take the house. You s'pose
I must have my own way about it? That's
a dear good Basher; as you are. And to
pay you for consenting, w•ithcut a fuss,
I'll trauble you as.little as possible about
the change, moving, and all that. I'll gtvc
the upholsterers orders about the ftkrui
tore, and get a bookstore man to fill the
library; and when everything is ready for
es to step in and take our dinner, we'll
ride over and tale• possession. get
an auctioneer to sell off our old 'stuff, ev
ery article Of it, for what it Will brim , .
I expect, perhaps, it_ will come to enough
to pay for the new set of silver, centre•
piece and all, for the piano, you know is
'most new, and the carpets are only six•
months old.
You hope I'll reserve your old secrets
ry and arm-chair, and that sofa? U
door': 1 suppose I ear, have 'em set in the
fourth story. where you can go and look
!at 'em once and a while. I don't see
why you need to set such great store by
that sofa, because' you and - I
used , to set
on it together, in our little parlor, the
!first winter we was married. It's stiff
l and old-fashioned now, and has been coy-
erect twice. I allowed it to set in my
roost up stairs, seeing you thought so
much of it; but it might as well go to
the auction-room as up into the fourth
story, where. it will have' to stay, if it's
kept in the new house.
What are you thinking of, to walk ,
right over that curbstone without seeing
it? You was thinking, of old times? No!
I doubt you'd like to go back to the days
when I did my own work, and set and
sewed for the children, evenings, but /I
wouldn't. It's a great burden off my 1
mind to have - the girls to Madatue
mery's school; she's very genteel, and will!
give 'em an air, which I know /couldn't,
though I'm naturally more genteel than
their fatter. What's that ? we're setting
them up above us, so as to wake them
ashamed of us ? ,AlVell, Arabella was a.
little sniffy the last time she came home,
but,,when we move on to the Avenue in
the new house, have more respect
fur us. Ah, here we arc-at the corner !!
Conte home early to-night, Basher; I;
want to talk over the plans.
(amtintral next week.)
nolra Tree and a Spire Grow.
Think of the pair of green leaves that
have come out of the ground, as they
make their way steadily up through the
rain aud - througb the sunshine, through
the day and through the darkness, until
they reach the limit of the' law of oaks,
and the breezes make music in their
branches, when the moos is breathless.
How lightly those ponderous arms
swim* '' out into the middle region of the
air between cloud and cloud; -how the
birds flash in and out of their green re
cesses • hop; the shadows in sunny weath
er, vibrate; cart and west, far out fromits
bare ; a beet a-day ; how the rosy fingers
of the Morn are laid in blessing on its
corona', and its leaves burn ;vim the lin
gering SULKS "good night." -
So, like the temple of God, has it gone
noiselessly up; the stroke of its great
pulses is never heard; more silent in its
building than the nest the robbing are
making; softer in its going, Than the crys
tal lapse of the reedy stream.,
And all 'the way along it xvent.witbout
an effort. The stag often rubbed his,
antlered head against the swaying sapling,
a little While ago; the oak wrestles with
the ; wind to-day, and its arms prevail:
But when that frame begins to be dis
mantled, and Nature to take 'down the
column she has builded, how different is
the order of its aoing. She has muffled!
it with moss ; she has removed one by I
one its creaking branches but she cannot!
alleviate its fall; when it comes at last,t
there-is a crash, and an cchein the sound-
l ing l in woods, and a wre4 along,the grouu;.
'Row lightly the spike springs into the
air, as if it would tonet the heaven With
its silent finger; how vacefully it rctiue
away, as it rises, and *tell the workman
swinging higher and hlgher, as it visitlY
grows, from - day to day; tor the sound of
I hammers comes faintly . down; like the
( I tick of a distant clonk, and the men
!creep like atomics nearer to its point, an 4
.- gatherers hon like 4 , of 4aphire above .thti
r-
world. ' I
But when time lays his heavy hand
upon that swaying spitie, and its pure
white is tarnished into gray, and the . '
worms are busy in crumbling timbers,
and it crashes downward in a cloud—of
dust, and lies an unseemly wreck upon
the earth, and we look upward at the
empty air, that closes,silently above its
fall as if it had never lie l en, ail grace and
bcnuty are stricken from the thought.—

Personal Observutions,ojii - Mr. Thaddeus
Hyatt.
L
[To . the Editor of the Nesi• 'll i ork Times.
Let me ask the attention of the humane
reader to the following extracts from
private letters received by not from time
to time. A more vivid picture of the ac
tual condition of thingS in. the famine
land will be thus obtained than by any
word painting of mine—fir the - sketches
of my friends are from nature, taken on
the scot.
Under date of Oct., al, Gen Pomeroy,
thus writes : am now ,out of pocket
about a-100, Two cart-loads have just ar
rived 'lly office Js tilled daily
with applicants; the cold, weather auil
rains are w a kin g olipeoplil. , frantic :"
Two days later, he thus Writes :
"How glad I was to get your telegram
to day, and Theodore's contribution of
$2OO. It was a God-send ! just in time
to pay freights. - Illinois is in -earnest to
supply us. Cases of st.fferitig meet me
daily. There.are a hundred now where
there was one when you were here. God
only knows what January and February
will -bring forth."
Two days later he writes:
"Your telegram to-day todraw for 5400
!was just in season. 1i brought me out
all` straight, and made we feel light
again. This is Saturday night late. I
have not yet left my office; and such a
day as this has been I . Thir , y two ap
plieations for aid ! Two young ladies not
over eighteen years of age, came a lung
1 way to see what could be done for their
little brothers and sisters at ho:ne; one
lof them said shc had never known a sor.
i i row until now. 'I can stand anything,'
said she, 'la hunger ." Shelcame from
a township not: yet organized; so I em
ployed her to du this work, and gave her ,
some of the statistical blauk prepared
by you while here. Ste very gladly took'
hold of the work, and added, 'I wilt fur
nish you, Sir, with a list of theltttle chil
dren who cannot conic to Sabbath-school'
for want of shoes and r.lothing.'l, Ah, uty
dear Hyatt, how I thought of the happy
Sabbath-school children that I had often!
seen and addressed by hundreds in 13J3-1
ton, Cambridge, Lowell, Springfield and i
Northampton, and knew well how gladly!
tbey would respond to a contribution for
shoes fur the little Larefeet that are al- )
ready reddened with the frosts of an ap
proaching Winter ! On; local .lletho-,
dist preacher has nine childreri in this {
county, not shoes for any ry tla4n.
Garnicnts fur children could be made
herein almost any of the destitute fam
ilies if they had the materials, simple
and warm. But boxes of shoes are a.
great desideratum; they are 'indispens
able.
Neal sacks we want very much, or
cloth to make them of• Woolen blankets
are invaluable here, as :ijou know, from
severe _experience in '5(3. In short, my
dear Hyatt, the whole Territory who are
poor, are looking to us: and having be
gun, we cannot look back!
Your funds bare just kept we so far. If
}our cwn purse bad not been deep and
free, we should bare bad to .s./Op last
week. The moment I refuse to pay fur
and take the car off the bands of the Rail
road Company at Winthrop, that moment,

The freight it costs. I am still
