Oh ! love is left in bygone years,
• Yet there has been no broken vow.

"We met of yore; 'tis "you and I"
That sometimes meet each other mow.
A quite indifferent he and she,
Though once enshrined in lover's' we."
That time, 'tis now long, long ago—
Its hopes, its joys all passed away ;
On life's calm tide three bubbles glow,

Hope paints them bright as bright can be—
Or did when you and I were "we."

The distant isles of future yearsl
Gleam brightly through the golden haze;
Time's sea a reflex heaven appears,
In which the stars are happy days ;
At least 't was always so with me
When lovers you and / were "we."
My life was all one web:of gold,
Where thoughts of thee like gems were set;
But soon the light of love grew cold,
And gems and gilding faded ; yet;
The "gilt" and "paste" reemed true to me,
Tut 'twas when you and I were "we."
Lang, long ago, with life-hope shone,
fragments of a gladness gone,

AN OLD TIME MYSTERY.
will not tell you sir
The young bead was thrown back haughti
ly, and the blue eyes flashed with passionate
excitement.
She was a beautiful creature this fair gold
en-haired girl. She was very yonbg and her
petite fig, , nre looked almost childish.—Bat
for the rounded, Hebe-like form and perfect
outline, one would have thought her a child
--a lithe-girl indeed,-with- the sunny hopes
and dreamed fancies of childhood—but these
disclosed a womanhood full of nameless grace,
rich and rare in beauty. :Few knew , the
world as well as she, this brilliant little
meteor, that had flashed upon society, turn
in men's heads and makin: a fair lady mad
wifh — jaouey.
But a few months before she came to New
Orleans • the iroteoe of a wealth EriOish
lady, who hud for many years spent her
winters here. Her history none knew, until
the events which procured me an introduc.
lion-to-h er r -none-ea terd-to—imptire.---Itr-was
evident to all she was loved by the lady as a
daughter, but she was presented to the world
as her niece.
There were just the faintest disoetnible
accent in the rich mellow voice and liquid
speech. The lair Canadian queened in roy
alty over the haughtiest belles. Men said
that accent charined as none other could;
rival beauties tried to imitate it. But her
fascination lay in her winsome face and eyes
that seemed so true; in the passionate regret
that fevered there at a sense of woe; in the
hand open as day to charity.
As she stood before me in her fierceanger,
I thought I had never seen a being so love
ly. The golden curls, shaded face and brow,
and the chiseled lips had assumed their
haughtiest curve. Proud as a queen she
looked, the indignant blood staining neck
and brow, while the cheek flushed and paled
alternately; but the blue eyes never lost their
passionate flush nor the 'lips the, curl of
__ --
The night before, the house had been rob
coutainina diamonds stolen,
Myself and Mr. I— Cad been sent for
by Mrs. hl s, to investigate the case.
It was evidently the work of an experienced
burglar, and he must have passed through
the room of Miss M—s to reach the
-apartment of"the lady from whom the jewels
had been stolen. I asked Miss M sif
she had heard nothing in the night to excite
her alarm. At my question, which was
somewhat abruptly spoken, she hesitated and
appeared unduly excited. I felt surprised
at this and repeated the question.
,Did you hear or see anything during the
night?'
'I did, sir.'
'May I- inquire what it was ?'
'I declind, to tell.'
'But why, iss M—s I'
cannot inPfirm you.'
'At all eventsvu.4l-I—tell--me if you saw
or heard the persOn,who -committed the rob•
bery ?'
1 both saw and heard him. Sir, you will
excuse me , but that 1 may end an interview
extremely painful to me, I will say to you
that I saw the person who came into the
house, saw . the robbery committed, but am
withheld by reasons 1 cannot disclose from
giving you his or her description.'
The avowal was made in a low, choking
utterance that showed how profoundly the
young creature felt the shame of the disclo
sure. Shocked and surprised, I scarcely
knew what I said, but I remember appealing
to Mrs. M s to unite her entreaties
with mine to induce Miss M s to
change her determination, or at least give a
reason for it. But she did not hear me.—
Fier eyes were fastened on the young girl's
face with a wild entreaty that thrilled me to
the heart. She seemed to understand why
the girl refused to tell ; and gazing for an
instant, threw up her hand with a wail like
one broken' hearted, and sank sobbing to the
'Miss M--s, this is very strange.—
You do not wish me to think you a confeder

to think'
It Was then that her expression changed,
and her face lit up with indignant excite.

innocence in the look. Whatever the mys

young girl by the hand, turned to me.

It was impossible to resist the grave dig
nity of this grand old lady. We took our
leave in a perfect whirl .of amazement. I
confess to my share of curiosity, but all the
events of that morning bewildered me. I
thought of nothing all that day save the
mysterious burglary. I did not speak of it
to others, for it was evident that Mrs.
M---s did not wish it canvassed, and my
own powers of reflection were uoablo to solve
it.

Edgar A: Poe.
The following inelderit was related by
,a
member of the Baltimore bar, who, at the
time of its occurrence, was but recently ad
..itted to praetim — The truth - of-the—state •
merit may be depended on, and even the con•
versation introduced I giVe, word for word,
as reported to me :
At the period referred to, there were sev
eral single-storied houses on the east side of
St. Paul streets, each of which contained but
two rooms. They were rather massively—
according
to present ideas—constructed of
brick, but have been for a long time displaced
by tall and stately buildings. One of these
single•storied buses was occupied-by-my-in=
formant. The front apartment was used as
a law office, the rear as a sleep room.
One calm and clear moonlight winter
night, when the snow lay deep upon the city
streets and roofs, Mr.— was making prep.
bell rung. He aroused his negro servant
-bowhoy s wasJactdd in g is=s tool=by- the
chimney corner, and sent hith to open the
door to the late visitor. The boy almost im
mediately returned atone. He said that no
body was at the door, but that a gentleman
was standing in the snow in the middle of
the street,-talking—to-himself and tossing_his
arms about.
Mr. now went to the front door
himself. When he opened it he found one,
who was evidently a gentleman--he could
see by the moonlight—standing on the pave
ment facing him. •
'Was it you who rang my bell ?' he asked.
'Yes, sir,' was the reply, owe you an
apology for disturbing you at an hOur so un
seasonable. But the fact is some thoughts
"hive Come into my head which I wish to
commit to paper, and seeing a light in your
back window' (the house mood upon the
corner of an alley) 'and considering it a mat
ter of course that a lawyer's office is supplied
with stationary, I took the liberty of ringing
your bell.'
'You are very welcome, indeed,' said the
young lawyer. 'Walk in, sir.'
The stranger followed him into the inner
apartment, where it bright fire was burning
in the grate. The manger of his guest was
so impressive of intellect that Mr.
offered him his bed; • but the visitor only
asked the use of a chair, table and writing
materials. So the negro boy laid down upon
his pallet on the floor, and the young lawyer
retired to hie bed, leaving the stranger bend
ing over the table writing.
I'v ben Mr. awakened in the morn•
ing' his strange visitor was sitting in a chair,
with his head on the table, asleep. The
motion made by the young-lawyer on awaken
ing roused the stranger. The latter seemed
at once to be wide awake. He -arose from
his seat, thanked his host for his hospitality,
and gracefully apologized for his intrusion
on the previous night. He was then about
to leave the room.
'You are forgetting your manuscript,' said
the young lawyer pointing to some pieces
of paper on the table.
have a copy of what I have composed,'
said the stranger, 'and leave the original with
you as some acknowledgement of your kind•
nese under circumstances so trying?
The stranger left. The' lawyer did not
knowuntil a long time afterward, when the
'Song of the Bells'—of which he still has
the original—had been published and became
fainous, that his singular visitor was Edgar
A. Poe. •
A PRACTICAL A TPLICA TIO N.!--Nicholas
Wain, though a regular Quaker preacher, a
great wag, was once traveling on horseback
in the interior of Pennsylvania in company
with two Methodist preachers. They dis
cussed points of difference in their respective
sects, until they arrived at the inn , where
they were put up for the night. At supper,
Wain was seated between the two Methodists,
and before them was placed a plate contain
ing two trout. Each of the circuit-riders
placed his fork in a fish and transferred it to
his plate, after which each shut his eyes and
said audible grace before meat. The quaker
availed himself of the opportunity to trans
fer both of the trout to his own plate, merely
remarking, when the others opened their
eyes, 'Your religion teaches you to pray, but
Mine teaches me both to watch and pray,'

Brigham Young's Harem. -
We have aforetime given gtissipy extracts
from the letters of visitors to Normoniiom,
relative to Brigham Y-oung!sfcloatestio-affairs;=
but the following, from a communication in
the Cincinnati Gazette contains some details
we do not remember to have previously
seen :
The rooms of the women are very mach
alike, and furnished nearly alike. They are
plain, but comfortable. The women live in
them precisely as people do at a hotel. Each
lady has her own key, and when she goes
out she locks her door. There is little visit.
ing back and forth, -and the ladies behave
very much as guests do at a first-class hotel.
Every morning and evening, at the ringing
of the bell, the inmates of the harem meet
in the great parlors, to attend prayers. They
sing a hymn, and Young prays fervently.--
The prophet used•to eat at the harem with
his wives, but he seldom does so mow. In
the morning, on rising, each woman puts her
room in order, and if she has children, dress
es them for breakfast.
After prayers they all go to breakfast, the
ladies with children sitting at little family
tables, and those without children at the
common table. The same food is given to
all, and the bill of fare is by no means a poor
ono. Brigham, from time to time, designates
some of his wives to take charge of 'the 000k
iog, and they remain on duty until relieved;
during the day the women, walk out, .sew,
sing, play the piano in the parlor, or walk
with the children, Most of them spin, make
cloth, and color it. They are very proud of
their cloth and embroidery. 'ln the evening,
all hands go to the theater, where every one
of Brigham's wives has a reserved seat. It
is said that Young liberally supplies his
wives with money, and on fine days they
drive out and go shopping, lie employs a
music teacher, French teacher, and dancing
master for the use of his hodsehold. Brig
ham's women are well dressed, but still they
have to work hard, and be keeps up a whole
some discipline over them. " •
Ben Franklin said, 'Time is money.' Now
I tried to pay a note at the bank with time;
I tried to pay my grocer's bill with time,
I tried to pay my printer the same way; and
the only satisfaction I got was that 'lt was
time to pay up.' They didn't see it as Ben
did, at all. 'Time is money" only when it
passes.

Now I have known her personally all my
life, but I could not invent any way to get
a living without work,
Going to bed is a good institution, but
getting up is rough, and lam down on the
man that invented it. It is said to be healthy
to 'rise with the kik' if you have not been
on a lark the night before—when it ain't
healthy. It is said, too, that 'the early bird
catches the worm,' but you don't want any
worms—they ain't healthy. 8o you need
not hurry about getting up.
By taking the various remedies for differ
ent diseases advertised in the papers, you
will be a healthy invalid, and will help a
healthy growth of quacks. You will also
assist in supporting some doctor, and after a
while the undertaker.

A Word to young Women.
The readiness with whiob American girls
accept the attention of a comparative stranger
is forever a matter of astonishment to for
eigners.. It would be as much a matter of
astonishment to ourselves if we once stopped
to think about it. A gentleman is casually
introduced, a lively conversation follows, calls
are made' the best day and for a week to
come, rides, flirtations, and love-Making en
tered upon, and oftentimes, after no less than
a fortnight's acquaintance, confidences are
given that no less than half a year's acquaint
ance should warrant.
A rase of this sort of eager intimacy oe•
carted in a pretty inland town not more than
three hundred miles from New York, whieh

stopping temporarily in the town saw and

the two were married. Almost ithmediately
