Between thy memory and my heart,
That time will bring the healing halm,
And soothe at last the bitter smart.
But no—l would not have it so ;
I never—never would forget ;
The weary years may come and go,
They'll find thy memory dearer yet.
Alone—alone I still must be
In gayest throng or crowded mart,

Thou dear lost idle of my heart.
Since thou art gone, my precious one,
The birds sing but.a mornful tune,
The brightness from the sky has gone—

Back to earth's sin and and misery.
And give thee in'its - lirtieeTharth's tears
Nor for thy crown of joys untold,
Give thee a mortal's griefs and fears;
But I would have thee sometimes come,
When shadows thicken 'round my way,
And whisper of that better home
With thee, in the bright realms of day.
And when this weary, aching heart
Feels its slow-pulses-throbbing low,
And near my feet, with joyful start,
I hear the sullen river's flow.
My angel daughter, be thou there

And guide to that land so fair,

THE SPRING JOURNEY.
Oh, green was the corn, an I rode on my way,
And bright were the dews on the blossoma of May,
And dark was the sycamore's shade to behold,
And the oak's tender leaf was of emerald tad gold.
The thrush from his, holly, the lark from his cloud,
Their chorus of rapture sung jovial and loud ;
From the soft vernal sky to the soft grassy ground

The mild Southern breeze brought a shower from

ROMANTIC REALITY. •
An Episode in the Life of a Prominent
Aferch.c:.t.
A New York paper of a recent date has
the following romantic sketch :
About fit teen years ago there went to Cin
cinnati from this city, a very young man,
who engaged himself as a light porter in the
e&tablishment of a firm, then doing a largo
grocery and commission business on Walnut
street. It bas now changed hands one of
the former proprietors has retired, another
has removed to this section and the third is

gently and to the satisfaction of his employ.
era. In the meantime, during his leisure
hours, he made himself a proficient book
keeper,
and at this period, there being a ye-,
°army, he was promoted to this position.
Mr. 8., the youngest partner in the firm,
took especial notice;of A., whom he frequent
ly invited to the house, of which a younger
sister constituted, in the estimation of the
impressible youth, one of the most attractive
features. But Miss Carolina--her name—
was somewhat of a haughty beauty, and poor
Mr. A. was soon taught the disagreeable
truth that her aspirations went far above the
state of a poor book-keeper's mate. Thus
being brought to appreciate the value of
money, he set his thoughts upon procuring
it, but with only a scanty salary there was
no avenue for speculation, and it seemed a
hopeless case. Unfortunately an acquain•
tanee at this time chanced to draw a prize
in the Havana lottery, an event which must
have gone far to prove that the age of mira
cles was not past. It presented the hopeful
young man an easy and rapid path to wealth,
so that every dollar that hkeould raise was
invested in lottery speculations. Alas I blan k
after blank met hie gaze, and still, with the
proverbial desperation of a gambler, he con
tinued the game, until in his case, as in that
of thousands before and thousands who aye
to come after, he abased his responsible po•
ire.,c9.er>e• - ticle)x3.t rlerartil:r` , l.NTeoatiosprt •
sition, and the almost inevitable fate in such
cases was realized : he was discovered and
disgraced.
The elder member of the firm was a stern,
hiog luau, who - would — have made an
example of the unfortunate young fellow, but
for the intercession of the juvenile partner,
Mr. 13., who, from his own purse, made up ,
the deficiency in his accounts, and provided
him with means to leave Cincinnati and seek
his fortune eltiewlmei - unburdened . with the
disgraceful load which would attach to him
in that city.
Time passed and the sister of Mr. B. mar
ried a wealthy Kentuckian, who took her to
Europe, where it is said she for some_ time
figured as the most prominent_belle from this
side of the water; but her husband was as
'fast' as she was thoughtless, his fortune was
soon - squandered, and he returned to this
city, where his brother-in-law was at this
time located, only to become a burden upon
him, until three years, ago he died of chol
era, leaving his widow with two children.
In the meantime matters had not gnne_well-I—e

pelled to obtain a situation "in a prominent

had purchased a cozy place for a summer
residence, which at much sacrifice, he was
enabled to retain.
Three months ago he died, and was bur
ied, and thus we are coming to the denoue
ment of ,this simple, yet romantic, life sketch.
A., for it was he, upon his return to Halifax,
saw the letter, and, first replying, afterward
visited this city in search of the writer, but
he had left his situation, and the parties were
not informed of his then abiding place. He
subsequently made several business visits
here, but up to the last time failed to hear
anything of his old friend and benefactor.—
This was in January, when one of the clerks,
remembering his inquiries, told him of the
death of -- 31 - 03; - and - lrow - his - sister - , -- a widow
lady, was keeping a juvenile school ie Ston
ington. It is needless to state that mingled
feelings of curiosity, friendship, and a re•
membrance of the—old love; led him to the
place, and our tale is ended with the follow
ing nuptial announcement, copied from the
Halifax, N. S., papers :
'Married, by the Rev. Alexander Ross,
Mr. A—, of this province, to Mrs. Caro
line late of the United States of A
merica. The newly married pair, immediate
ly after the ceremony, left in the pack° ship
for Liverpool.'
Was in the_ habit of Paying.
Near the village of Oswego resides a vete
ran retired merchant, a man of groat wealth
and benevolence, but matter of fact as to ec
centricity. Sentiment is entirely foreign to
his composition, and all poetry, to hts prac
tical mind, is an abomination.
Although through a long mercantile ca
reer he had been eminently prosperous in mo•
ney matters, he had invariably met with poor
success in matrimony. Dry goods had bless.
ed. him with a rich basket and a full store,
and experience pronounced him a gaod judge
of such materials; but evcry mortal 'piece
of calico' in which he invested soon faded
and failed.
He had reached a ripe old ago when the
'weaker ressel, l his fourth female venture—
stranded,and sunk.
With the promptness and enterprise which
had ever characterized his commercial car
reer ho soon selected another partner for
life.
As usual, a numerous circle of relatives
and friends were bidden to celebrate the nup-
tials.
A distinguished Presbyterian divine was
summoned to 'boss the job.'
The solemn ceremony concluded, friends
crowded around the happy pair to offer their
congratulations, when our hero of the five
weddings drew forth his ancient calf skin
wallet, coolly counted out twenty five dollars,
and handing the goodly greenbacks to his
reverence, blandly but distinctly remarked :
'That's what I have been in the habit of

Fancy the feelings of the_blushing bride.
ANGER.—Verily, what reason is there for
hating those who fall into the,hands of the
law,. or into sins of any kind ? It is not tbo
part of the wise man to bate those who err;
indeed, if he does; he himself should hate
. hiaiself.Met him think how much of what
he does is base, how many of his actions call
for pardon. Will be hate himself then ?
Yet a just judge does not give one decision
in his own case, another in a stranger's. No
one is found who can absolve.biuiself. Who
over says he is innocent, looks at the proof
rather than his conscience. How much
more human is it to show a mild, kind spirit
to those who do wrong; not to drive them
headlong, but to draw them back, It a man
wanders out of his path through ignorance
of the country, it is better to set him right a•
gain than to urge him on further.--Sencea.

A private soldier, by the name.of Richard
Lee,waa_taken_before the magistrates of
Glasgow for playing cards during divine ser•
vice. The following account is given :
A sergeant commanded the soldiers at the
Church, and when the parson had read the
prayer, ho took the test. Those who had a
Bible took it out, but the soldier had neith
er Bible nor common prayer book, and pulled
out a pack of cards, and spread them before.
him. He first looked at one and then an•
other. The sergeant of the company seeing
him, said—
---'Richard, - put up the cards ; this is no
place for them.'
'Never mind that,' said Richard.
When services were over, a constablnii:rog .

'He sent for water for them to wash. The

the greatest knave, hut I know he is the
greatest fool.'
The soldier continued :
'When I count how many spots there are
in a paek of cards, I find three hundred and
sixty-five, as many days as in a year.'
When I count the number of cards in a
pack, 1 find fitty•two, the number of weeks
in a year.'
'I find there are twelve picture cards in a
pack, representing the number of months in
a year, and, on counting the tricks, I find
thirteen, the number of weeks in a quarter of
a year.'
'So, you see, a pack of cards serves as an
almanac, Bible and common prayer hook.'
THE VALUE OF A NAIVE —The value of
a name ! Can it be estimated ? is there any
known standard in dollars and cents by which
to graduate it? Will it c tate within any of
the known laws of political economy ? As
well might a jury assess the pecuniary dam
age of taking away the life of another.—
W hen I reflect how dear the reputation of
every man is to himself, I am amazed at the
light use be will make of the reputation of
another. Private slander is a large ingre
dient in the petty gossip of the day. Indeed,
it often seems to form the very spice of con•
versation, which gives - it - all — its - fftvor; — 'A
good name,' says Solomon is rather to be
chosen than great riches.'
WnEN TO CATCH Fist'—An old fisher•
man says if a man wants to catch fish when•
ever he visits tho creek, lot him not pick
the full-moon days to do it in. Ile gives
a philosophical reason for the adi'ioe—wheth•
er sound or not, we cannot decide. lie says
when the moon is full, the nights being
bright, enables the fish • to do all their fora
ging in the night time. Of course, having
their wants supplied, they lie up all day, and
consequently there is a scarcity of 'bites'—
Under a new-moon season, the fish have to
sleep at night, and work by day, that makes
the difference in the, fisherman's string.
A philosopher explains the science of got.,

A MYRTERY EXPLAINED.-REV, Mr.—,
of Lawrence, Mass, is a bachelor. Noticing
early in the seasen, that ono of his members,
a married lady, was not at meeting for sever
al Sabbaths, he called to ask the reason. As
ber reply was somewhat evasive, he surmised
that she had 'nothing to wear,' and said,
'you are waiting for your Spring bonnet, I
suppose.' Weeks passed, and still she did
not make her appearance. Ho therefore,
thought be would call again. Approaching
the house, he saw her sitting at the open
window, and blandly remarked, havn't seen
you at church yet, hasn't that bonnet come?'
'Yes, sir,' she archly replied. 'Shalt. I
show it to you ?'
'lf you please,' answered the wondering
pus tor.
Holding up a wee bit of a baby. she said
blushing, 'this is the Spring bonnet I was
waiting for, did I do right ?'
. BEGAN TO LAUGG.-A elerical friend at

seemed, however, on the brink of the grave
fler cheeks ureic hollow and wan, her wan.
,nor listless, her step languid, and her brow
wore the severe contraction so indicative
both of mental aid physie4l suffering, so that
ebe was to all observers an object of pity.
Scmo years afterward he encountered the
same lady, but so fresh and youthful, so full
of healthful buoyancy, and joyous in exprias
sion, that he questioned himself if he wan
not mistaken with regard to identity.
'ls it possible,' said he, 'that I see before
me Mrs. 8., who presented such a doleful
appearance at the springs several years ago?'
`The very same. •
'And pray tell me, madam, the secret . ' of
