Thy gentle Voice, in loving tortes,

When parted from thy loving side,
Upon the world a Wanderer , lone,
And 'sin's fierce darts Were acme hurled;•
Thy love, a shield; dubs o'er me throttm

When 'mid the gay. and thoughtlessilVrong;
Temptations come in Wine dip bright.
And music siteet, and plaintive song;
All lost their power when bent on me
No influence svveet:had they to char:lnt

And thus thy boy Itlas sett(' from hart.
A mrthus through all my roving life •
I felt thy love within my breast;
1 felt thine arms round me entwined,
As when upon thy bosom' pressed.
In after years; When friendship fled;
And sorrow claimed me ibr her own,•
-I felt a bliss in loving thee, .
A he ppiness before unknown.
And now, when time, with' fourseme yeL.firs,
Thy raven locks are Uinta to white,.
Thy life in peace drows near its close,
Like summer day to quiet night;

Again thine hand place on my head;;
Once rote thy loving, gentle voice,
On me its holy influence shed.

THAT AWFUL UGLY HORSE ;
OR, SAM VA'ANEY'S ADVENTUAE.
Sant Varney was a Green Mountain boy.
Ile had worked as a hired man on different
ferm i and had laid up some money lie
had frequently been employed in bringing
loads, of produce to the Boston market, and
made sales quite satisfactory to .his employ
ers. On several occasions he had made lit
tle speculations of his own which were quite
profitable.:
On on of his visits to Boston f Sam had
:ranee in with a sailor who was a native of
the same town where 'he himself was born,
'and they had a great deal of‘conVersation.— . —
One of the interesting facts which . Bani learn-
td from his townsman was, that sailors Were
—occasionally-permitted — to — tate — out a Email"
venture, as it was called, of their oWn, a lit
tle, paekige of goods, a barrel of mackerel, or
something of chit sort, which would botrtrike
up much room in the Vessel. This they sold,
antlbrought home , the proceedi 712 the pro.
(lute of the country thus visited.
(hi his return homc,'Sam meditated ptm.
'foundly na this subject) and finally couclu.
dad to make a voyage ,to the West Indies
an to to e a venture wit him, The neKt
,question was wha t 01901 that vet! taro -bc.
lie had nothing on hand at the time but a
small horse, which he had won in 'a, raffle
and had not yet been able to dispose of. He
'was pot a very beautiful horse, • On the con.
ttarY 'he was generally pronounced by the
neighbors "an ugly boss." His neck was
too short; 'his head 'too long. His body was
'lean 'and
. scroggy. •Ifis mane was rotighand
refractory, aite persisted lid. standing :up too
much in ,spite of
,triunaing
,and grooming,
'and his tail lotiked like a mop., But Sam had
h,iti repeatedly, and foUnd •that'he
was 'capable Of great speed in running.'
The sallofs lad . told Saha that whole ear
igoaa -of 011 . 308 were frequently sent from Con
nectichtp_the West ladies, and disposed of
at a large profit. So he d4tertnined that his
- hbvsn should his, venture, Accordingly,
Ile motm tad Ititn;rodo Clowo tO J3oston,put him
'into a stable and went iuseareb.roftis friend,
.I.le soon found .him, and communicated Sim
'plan. His aepittintanee,_ Tom Statidi s sit by
name; afraidihe *mild not. be able to oar-,
ry it ott; e but promised. to -lend all ,the assist
ance in 'his power. He bad just shipped in
a vbstel , bound fbr Jamaica, and. more hands
were wanted. -He introduced him to the'
captain, who made no objection tolshipping '
a green hand. When. the question of the
venture came up there was a difficulty. lie
bad no accommodation for a Irene
. on hood
the brig. Sam offered to put him on deck
and take care of him. This lould be incon%
venient and would interfere with his duty.
Determined to carry his point, ,Sam offered
to pay freight cash down, before sailing; and
the eaptain i rather amused at his pertinaci
ty, and curious to see bow the venture would
succeed, agreed to the proposal. So 'the
horse was shipped and the vessel piled.
-Sam was- the butt of•the sailors during the
whole passage out. There was no end to the
leers at the appearance of the little horse.--
Their nautical joked on him , wore inexausti
hie, and Sam Varney's venture was.consider
ed the most desperate and ridiculous specu
lation that bad ever been attempted.
But Sam - was perfectly impertnrable.—
Re answered all their nineties good natur
edly, and told. them "they bad better wait
and seethe upshot: He had never made- a
bad speculation yet, and beguessed he knew
what he was. about. The hoes was not a ve-.
ry handsome boss,-but he was a very good one.
He guessed- hecould sell him."
At length the - brig arrived at Kingston,
Jamai'ca,- and Sam , soon had his horse land
ed and stabled. When ho came to offer him
for sale, nobady- seemed inclined to buy.—
The horse was decidedly too ugly for a sad
dle or a gig horse; and the very draymem
turned up their noses at him. Presently the
races same off,- and everybody was hurrying
out of town to the racegronnd.
Sam monnted\his horse and rode out with
the rest. He• looked on • with much interest
at . the fi rst race. He observed that the
horses we not remarkable for their speed.
There appeared to be no through-bred blood
horses among them; and he concluded the
races had been got up by the planters from
their love of spud ; without having any real
racehorses on the island, He believed that
his little horse could beat them all'; and he
determined at all hazards to give him a trial.
So he went to the managers and offered to
enter for the next ride.
Sam's proposition was received with shouts
of laughter.' It was considered a capital
joke: lie was perfectly serious. Ile want
ed to rau his horse against the whole field,.
and was ready to bet on him. Be was ac•-,
cordingly entered, and instantly heavy odds
were offered against him. TAO to one, five
to one, and finally, one planter offered twen
ty, to one,
On hearing this offer, Sam said he would
take it. It was necessary to produce the a
mount of the bet. Ile was in the dress of a
common sailor., and his antagonist said that
he was not goinc , to be trifled with, the stakes"
must be deposited with the managers.
"Bow much would be bet."
"Five hundred dollars," replied Sam.
"Well, down with your dust," said the
planter.
epou-Satn-took-off-a-leatter-belt
which he bad round his waist, under his ,
clothes, and counted out five hundred dol
lars in doubloons. The planter's check was.
pronounced satisfactory and received by the•
managers, Many-other bets were mado by
different persons, with heavy odds against
Sam's horse.
'When Sam rode up to the starting place
there Wore shouts of laughter , at his appear
alien, and the most unsparing censure of his
presumption in entering on the-race. Sam
paid no attention to this, but matted with
the rest; and it soon became apparent that
he was not such a fool as they took him to
be. He was among the foremost in two min
utes; and at the end' of the race, "that DM.
ful ugly boss" was pronounced clearly and
Unequivocally the victor:
Sam coolly received the doubloons back
again and put them in his belt, together with
the planier's check for ten thousand dollars,
which was afterwards duly honored.
lie offered to bet on another race, but
there were no takers. For this, however,
be was compensated by the most liberal offers
for his horse. Vire hundred dollars, a thou.
sand, fifteen hundred, two thousand, were
bid for him. This last figure being the high
est, Sam accepted it.
On his retain to the brig, 'Stun learned
that no one of the crew but himself had, been

AlkiNIE LAURIE
Thie-lovely song, adintred the world ;over
for -the beautiful tutnplioity of its words,its
easy', flowing - and expressive melody r hasiate•
ly received an additiorml impetus 40 its pop
ularity by' the following incident said to have
occurred in Maryland. . ,
- A. small select party had assembled [in, a
pleasant parlor; and were gayly °batting and
laughing,. when a tall young man entered
whose peculiar face anti air instantly arres•
ted attention,. He was very - paleovith, that
clear; vivid, complexion which dark haired
n
consumptives soften have. - }lielncks were
as black as jet, and hung profuse upon a
square white collar. His eyes were large
and spriteful, and' his brow such a 'one as a
poet should have. But'for a certain wonder
ing look, treasual observer would have pro
nounced him a man of uncommon, intellectu
al powers, The . words, "poor felow," and
"how sad helooks," went thn.rounds as he
came forward,- towel to the campany, and
took his seat. - 013 . , or two thoughtless girls
laughed- as-they-whisper
cracked," but the rest treated. him with re
spectful deference,
It was late in the erening when singing
was proposed, and to ask . him to sing "An
nie Laurie" was a task of uncoMmou delica
cy. Ono song after another was sung, and
at last this one was named. At its mention
the young man grew deadly pale but did
not speak; he seemed to be instantly lost in
reverie.
"The name of the girl who treated him so
badly was Annie," said a lady , whispering to
a new guest—oh, I wish he would sing it,
nobody else can do it justice,"
"No one dares sing Annie Laurie before
you, Charles," said an elderly lady; "would
it be too much to ask you to favor the com
pany with it S" she added timidly.
He did not reply for a moment—his, lips
quivered a little, and then looked .as if he
saw a spiritual presence, he began. Every
sound 'was hushed--it seemed as it his voice
was the voice of an angle. The tones vibra
ted through nerve, pulse and heart, and
made-one-shiver—with_the4 rho- his feel
ing; never was heard melody in human voice,
lik that—se soulful, so tender and earn
est.
Re sat with head thrown back, his eyes
half olosed—the looks of his hair glistening
against his pale temples, his bands lightly
foded before him; and as he sung through
the following stanzas hes seemed to shake
from bead to foot with heart-rending emo
tion: . .
Mexwelton's banks are bonny,
Where early falls the dew
And 'twos there theli t Annie ' Lsoirie
Gave me her promise true—
Gave me her promise true,
Which no'er forgot will be
But for bonny Annie Laurie
'd lay me down and dee.
Her brow is like the snow-drift;
• Her throat it like the swan,
Her fen tures are the fairest /
That e'er the sun shone on—
That.e'er the sun shone on,
And dark blue is her e'e •
And for bonny Annie Laurie
lay me down and. dee.
Like the dew on the govtan lying
In the fa'o' her fairy feet,
And like the winds in summer sighing
Her voice is low and sweet—
Her voice is low and sweet,
And she's a' the world to me,
And for bonny Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and dee.
As ho proceeded from line torline; and
:verse to verse, there was no more jesting a
mong the company—all was hushed as it' by
the silence of death. Many a lip trembled,
and but fevenyea but were wet with the tears
of spontaneous pity and compassion.
When finishing the last verse he made a
slight pause, gazed with a searching longing
expression about the room and gasped forth:
And for bonny Annie Laurie,
• I'd lay me down and die.
and slowly dropped his head 'backward over
the Omits • Thu black locks seemed to grow
blieker, the white temples whiter ] and white
lustrous.eyes to slowly closo'with mexpressi•
ble and torturing anguish.
There was a long and solemn pause. One
glanced at another—all seemed awe struck—
till the lady who had urged him to sing laid
her hand gently upon his shoulder, saying:
"Charles I Charles l"
Then came a hush, a thrill of horror crept
through every frame; the poor tried heart
ceased to beat.
Charles, the love-betrayed, wait dead.
4CESII GINO'S FOREIMAD6WED.--W hen
Gen. Sherman's army occupied SaVannah the
citizens pleaded starvation and asked to be
fed. Amongst other applications; . several
ladies called upon the Trov.ost Marshal of
the Western District, and unfolded a horri
ble story of suffering and woe. • The gallant
Gen. B—, impressed with the tale, seated
himself to write the

men, and then, we,women will fightyotz; and
if you kill ,ill. of us it' won't be' ended thee,
tot' we'll dome back ai ghosts, to haunt you."
This sanguinary oration, delivered with all
the venom of a *Soutliern female beggar,
quite appalled the General, tiliuquietly tore
up the order he was writing saying--"if
suer'

tiethari whose name we Shall call' Brown,' was
passing- a few . daYs ene of our Western
cities, he,had the, misfortune unintentionally
to offemi the susceptible honor . of a Mil
colonel„ . Wltai was one of his rebels!: board
ere. ARl'ogies being unsatisfactory; a dal ,
lenge was sent .to 'him,- Which, however, be
declined from conscientious serup)es.
The colonel ; who, by the way, bad won in
two or three encounters quite &reputation as
a duelist, at once conceived' the idea thatills
opponent was a-coward; and reaelved to disk
grace him in the face of all • the assembled.
wisdom of the house. Accordingly the next
day, at dinner time r in maraca the duelist
armed with a cowhide, and advaneing„to
Brown's chair, proceeded to dust his)acket
for•him in thb most approved style. Brown
was astonished. Lucki . ly,, he 'had been , a
lieutenant in militia in 1;os native State, and
he knew the importance of incommoding his
enemy by a. diversion. So, seizing a gravy
tureen' he tossed the contents into the fact)
of the belligerent — 6lonal,ai - n1 before he
could recover from the drowning sensation
thus occasioned, he sprang upon the table,_
and •began to sbower - uptei. Min with a liber
al
hand the contents of the dishes around.
"You are au-infernal ".
as "love
"Coward !" the colonel was about to say,
but at that moment a plate of' peens struck
full upon his mouth, and the word, was block
aded arid lostforever.—
"Ha 1" cried the New Englander; whose
blood was now up, "fond .of greens, are you?
Take a potato,
too," and he hurled a telling
volley of hard potatoes at him. "Excellent
eegs here, capital with calf's head," and
crash came a plate of s_oft boiled eggs against
the side of his cranium.
The . blows of the cowhide, which had hith
erto descended upon the Yankee's head and
shoulders, now began' to fall more weakly and
wildly, and it became evident .that the assail
ant, half stunned, chocked, and blinded, wao
getting the worst of it. His courage • was
oozing out.
"Take a turke ?" shouted 13rown, as a
noble old gobb er eseended fairly upon the
colonel's head, and bursting„ filled his hair
and eyes with delicious, stuciug. "Here's
the fixings," he continued, as the squash
and jelly followed after.
By this time the colonel was irretrievably
defeated, and, his . opponent seized a huge
plum pudding steaming hot, and holding it
above his head with bbth hands, seemed to
bury him beneath it, be quailed in terror,
and throwing down his • cowhide, turned a
bout and wade a rush for the door,
"Stop for the pudding, colonel, stop for
the, pudding!" screamed all the fellow-board
ers, amid convulsions of laughter. But the
colonel was terrified, and did not cease run
ning until ho had looked himself into his
room.
But although the colonel escaped from the
the•pudding he did not escape from the rid
icule which the affair occasioned. lie sub
sequently challenged four persons, against
whom his ire- was particularly excited, and
they all consented to fight, but availing them
elvea-of-tha-privilege-of-the-ehallengedi
ty, appointed, pudding bags for -their weap
ons. At length the unhappy duelist, find
ing no one 'willing to
,shoot or be shot, was
obliged to quit the State.
What a sublime idea! With the aid of a
telescope is presented to the view such An
object as the planet Jupiter, a globe fourte‘n
hundred times larger than the world in which
wó dvve!l, and whose surface would contain a
population one hundred times more numer
ous than all the inhabitants that have exis
ted on our globe since the creation And
how is the sublimity of• such an idea aug
mented, when we consider that this immense
body is revolving round its axis. at the rate
of twenty-eight thousand miles in an hour,
and is -flying at the same dale, through the
region of spade, twenty-nine thousand miles
every hour, carrying along with it four
moons, each of them larger than the earth,
during the whole course round the centre of
its motion! And if this planet, which ap
pears only like a luminous speck on the noc
turnal sky, presents such an august idea,
when its magnitude and motions are investi
gated, what an astonishing idea is presented
to the mind when it• contemplates the size
and splendor:of the sun--a body which would
contain within its bowels nine hundred globes
larger than Jupiter, and thirteen hundred
- th(7,lWalt - d7gTolres, of the bulk of the earth;
which darts its rays, in a few, moments, .to
the remotest bounds of„ the planetary sys
tem, producing light and color, and life and
.vegetation. , ' thrrou.ghout t b e , surrounding
worlds! And how must our astonishment
be still• increased, when we consider the num
ber of such globes which exist through the
universe! that within the range of our • tele
scopes,more•than a hundredmillions of globes
