A Popular Poet Sketched BY A VISITOR Miss Alice Carey is a dignified, lady-like woman, quietly but handsomely dressed i n a suit of black silk. She is of medium height, neither stout or slender, though. in cliuiug to the former rather than the latter. /ler expression is pleasing, though some• what sad, and the face is one that a stran ger would return to again and again, raiding at each look an added charm, so that what was at first pleasing but rather plain face, produces at length the effect of positive beauty. Miss Carey is an habitual invalid sad great sufferer. She has a colorless coat plesiuo, soft dark hair, showing hero and there a thread of silver, and dark expressive eyes. She is no longer young as the world reckons age, ha: essential youth beams in her not too uufrequent smile, and from the tranquil depth of her earnest eyes. She has gathered wisdom, from the experiences of nearly fifty years, years brightened not only by the waimth and beauty of summer,, but some of them rendered memorable by long, dreary winters of loneliness and sorrow.— She is a native of Ohio; with the blood of the Huanemits, the Puritans, and the heroes of the ltevolution flowing in her veins. In the quiet life described io her "Clovernook Pa. pers," all the early-years of her life went by. The shadow of bereavement fell early upon the quiet, thoughtful girl. First, the moth er was taken, then an older sister who had in some measure'filled her place, and later, a young sister, the idol of her love. Speaking of the older sister. Alice says: "She was more cheerful than I; more pelf-reliant. I used to recite to her my rude verses, which she praised ; and she in turn told me stories of her own composing, which I at the time thought evinced wonderful ability; and I still think that sister was unusually gifted. Just as 1 came into woman-hood, deat sep arated, us, aed that event turned my dispo sition, naturally melancholy, into almost mor bid oom." Since 1850, Miss Carey has been a resi dent of New York, one of the brightest or naments of its literary society, and one of the moat valued and constant .contributors to the literature of the day. She and her sister own a pleasant home, No. 53 East Twentieth street, where the people best worth knowing, drop in 'of an evening, with out ceremony, and exchange views on the most interesting topics of the day. The Hon. Horace Greeley is a warm personal friend of the sisters, and has a long estab lished custom of taking tea with them on Sunday -evening.. Many of h i s friends, knowing where to 'find him, take this oppor tunity of calling on him, and in this way the most eminent politicians, statesmen a a d thinkers are to be found in Miss Carey's pleasant drawing-room. The mu hers of the sisters are as simple and unaffected as When they were living in their Clovernook home; while their quick sympathies, large hearted ness and liberality of thought, have wade them a power for good, and endeared them t 6 the wise and pure, not only for their own, but of other countries. - Miss Carey is the friend of progress; a believer not only in God, but in humanity; not only in the past, but in tbeluture—a fu• cure in which woman • will assume her true position, and share the work and the wealth of the world with man. - Study wisdom and you will reap pleas are.

'Now,' said the iudgo, 'you have sworn as a witness.

'I. shall never g4T-U-111-etvenr-she—repli ed.

'llas any one talked with you about your being a witness here in court against this man ?' inquired the judge. 'Yes, sir.' she replied. 'My mother heard they wanted me to be a witness, and last night she called me to her room and asked me to tell her the ten commandments; and then we kneeled down awether, and she prayed that I might understand bow wicked it was to bear false witness against my neigh bor, and that God would help me, a little child, to tell the truth as it it was before Him.

'Yes, sir,' said the cbi'd, with a voice that showed her conviction of its truth was per leer. 'God bless you, my child,' mid the judge, `you have a good mother. This witness is competent,' he continued. 'Were I on trial for my life, and innocent of the charge a gainst me, I would pray God for such a wit ness as this. Let.her be examined.' She told her story with the simplicity of a child, as she was, but there was a direct ness about it which carried conviction of its truth to every heart. She was rigidly cross oraminod. The counsel plied her with infi nite and ingenious questionings, but she va• rise& front her first. statements in nothing.— The truth, so spoken by that little child, was sublime Falsehood and perjury had pro ceeded her testimony. The prisoner had intrenched himself with lies till he deemed himself impregnable. But before her testi mony falsehood was scattered Like chaff The little child for whom a mother prayed for strength. to be given her to speak the truth as if it was before God, broke the cun ning devices of matured villainy to pieces like a potterls vessel. The strength that her mother prayed for was given her, and the sublime simplicity—terrible, I mean, to the prisonerankluis . . _associates—with which r she spoke, was like rove lion from God him • THREE THINGS TO AVOID.- I. Avoid bad thoughts.-We cannot help bad thoughts coming into our hearts sometimes ;, but we can help keeping them• there• As somebody bah said, (.We cannot prevent the crows from flying over our heads, 'but ,we can prevent them building nests in out hair' Fight bad thoughts, for just as sure as you let them live and grow in your hearts, they will breed mischief and misery. 2. A void bad words. Bad thoughts are parents to_ bad words, and the children arc e• von more mischievous than their parents.— For bad thoughts, so long as they are confin ed to your DWG hearts, only hurt you, but bad words hurt others. They lead to anger, strife and a'l kinds of black sin. 3 You must avoid bad deeds. Do not allow yourself to do an evil action. If you know an . sot to be wrt ng, never consent to it. Keep yourself pure. Dare to dO right, though it be sometimes hard, Remember, 'Thou, Gull, seen me,' MANIA FRIDAY MORNING Learn a Trade. The value of learning a trade becomes more and-more-tortain-ovetv . day,_ -Scarcely a week passes but some young man is asking Us to point- out a field of labo r for him.— With good attainments, perhaps, or an in satiable desire to be at work at • something whereby an honest penny may bo turned, he finds_ himself landed---as-it were at diet first ebb of the tide: The'slightest recession of the waters deposits him on the shore among the weeds of idleness, and unwholesome va pors becloud his mind. There- is scarcely a man in business but has an experience like ours; bis young friends continually envying him the privilege of working in a well-de fined field, and wishing that like him they bad something to strike at. These young men are generally afflicted with the disease of ambition. They want to be something more than common, and mis. takin_ often their desires for the ability to I satisfy ate fit for something better than the common trying to achieve manhood without serving an apprenticeship to it, and they find them selves, wEen they should be prepared for their life•work, wondering what it will be, tnl=f ' i v :. ;'t -doesn't-de c lare itself, and nine cases out of tea waiting ii •z' such a call, go into polities ' agencies, &e.

So it is with us. Gur characters are like unknown blocks of marble,-rude, misshapen, _comparitively worthless. And God is e:ulp• turing them into forms• of divine simmetry and beauty that may forever illustrate to the Universe the power Millie grace. The heavy block of adversity and tlke.rasping cares and petty annoyances of our daily lith are but different parts of the same divine and loving process. And shall we look simply at the hammer and chisel, and doubt the glorifying work for which God is using thew ? Shall we think only of the chips which the blows of fits prftencc strike from us, and overlook the immortal characters which the Great Sculptor is seeking thus to perfect for his celestial temple ? TUE SNOW. PRORLENS -- Lt was reported last winter that the sheds built by the Pa. Mile Railroad Company to protect their trucks from the deep snows of the Sierra Nevada mountains were crushed by the weight of snow that fell upon them, and that some oth• or method of protection would have to be de viled It seems, however, by a letter in the San Francisco Bultetin, that this plan of shielding the track has not been abandoned. The company aro now engaged in erecting sheds over the cuttings and ocher exposed points. They are of heavy timber frame work, with pointed gable• roofs, and look as if they could withstand any pressure of snow. Nearly forty mi'es of the stack will have to be thus covered, and the quantity of timber required - wdt be euortugus. Not less than twenty-two saw mills, mo'st of them worked by steam, are ran night and day, employing nearly two thousand man, and yet they do not work up the needs of the company. In a few weeks twenty•eight mills will be run— ning. It is estimated that it will require no less than eight hundred thousand .feet of lumber to construct a mite of sheds. So great is the demand that the country on both sides of the track is being rapidly denuded of its forests.
