THE UNION AS IT SHALL BE.
On the rocks we read the story
Of the revolutions grand,
Which in ages past and hoary
Swept o'er mountain,, sea and land;
There we trace the mighty stages
Of the world's historic times;
And we mark the buried ages
By their monuments sublime;
And the lessen Old earth teaches,
fly her grand symbolic forms, .
Is, that she all beauty reaches,
Through upheavals, fires, and storms
History points with solemn finger
To her records dim and old,
And, as thoughtifilly we linger,
Still the lesson there is told ;
Throogh the struggles and the burnings
Tin otigh the stern and frantic strife,
Through the nation's fierce upturnings,
Put they on a fresher life ;
Then they pass to higher sfages
Both-of beauty and renown;
In the conflict of the ages
Greatness doth the nations crown.
Lo we feel the wild upheaval
Of a 'nation's hidden fires;
Right is battling with the Evil,
And the smoke to heaven aspires;
War, tumultuous and red lighted,
Sweepeth with sirrocco blast,
And our green young land is blighted,
As the tempest whirleth past :
Not the death-throe of the 'natio::
Is this wild and awful hour,

To -nobler life of power.

Shall the monster Slaller'y lie,
While the coming generations

From it's dark transition time;
In it's march of power and duty,

I ' I THE EMPEROR.
There was once a poor man who
dwelt in a hut, and gained a livelihood
by begging alms. He had an only
daughter, whom heaven had gifted with
extraordinary wisdom, and who, little
by little, taught her father to speak so
wisely, that one day, when he had gone
to ask alms of the Emperor, the - latter
was astonished at the wisdom with
which he spoke, and demanded limn
whom he acquired it. "From my daugh
ter, 0 noble Emperor 1" answered the
poor man ; and the Emperor being very
wise himself, and proud of his-wisdom,
resolved to put that of the old man's
daughter to trial ; so he gave the old
man thirty eggs, and said :
"Take these to thy daughter, and bid
her get them hatched into thirty pul
lets. If she refuses to obey, evil will
-befall her."
The poor man burst into tears, for be
saw that the eggs had all been boiled.
But when he had reached home, and
told his daughter all that had passed,
she bade him be cheerful and retire to
rest, telling him he need not fear any
danger. She then took a pot.of water,
put a: handful of, beans into it, and
placed it over the fire and on the mor
row, when hdr father hdd risen, she gave
him the boiled beans, and told him to
dig a trench in a certain field, by which
the Einperor would pass as he went out
hunting. "Andes the Emperor passes
by, take the beans and sow them in the
trench, and cry aloud, 'God.be gracious,
and grant that my boiled bekkns may
spring up quickly !' and if the Emperor
asks how it is possible for boiled beans
to grow, reply that it was as possible as
for a pullet to be hatched from a boiled
egg."
The poor man did as his daughter had
instructed him. He took his spade and
dug a trench in a field by the side of the
highway, and when he saw the Emperor
coming, he began to sow his beans in
the trench and cry, aloud, "God be gra
cious, and grant that my boiled beans
,
may spring up quickly l"
When the Emperof heard these words
he stopped, and asked how it was ,pos
sible for boiled beans to grow ? Where
upon the poor man answered-: -
"Gracious En:ipem it is as' easy as
for a pullet to be hatched from a boiled
•
egg! ,
The Emperor divined who it waslthat
had arranged this Stratagem, and in or
der still more to try the maiden's wis
dom, he gave the poor , man pack of
hemp, and said :
"Take this to thy daughter, and bid
her make me from it as many sails and
ropes as are necessary for a 'ship. If
she refuses to obey, her head shall be
the forfeit."'
The poor man•was sorely troubled at
these words, and having received 'the
pack of hemp, returned to his daughter,
weeping all the way. •
But *hen he had told her all that had
passed, she again comforted him, and
bado'him be cheerful and retire to rest,
and fear no danger; and on the morrow
when he had risen, she gave hini'a little
piece of wood - and said
"Take this to the Ernkror, and say
that if he will nut tne'out a spinning
wheel, a foom, and a shuttle, then will t
do that which' he has donimanded."'
The poor man did the second time as
his daughter had instructed him ; and
when he delivered her message, the Em
peror was more than ever astonished;at
her wisdom. To put it at a new trial,
he took a drinking glass, and said to
the poor man :
"Take this to thy daughter, and , bid
her empty the sea with it, and make, its
bed-dry enough to grow cop on. If
she refuses to obey, both her head and
thine own shall pay the forfeit.".--
At
tbis.iliti , poor man was trim Uni
ted than ever. But when he had :re--
,turned home and- his daug,hter'what
the Emperor had cominanded,
den comforted him the 'thiid-titre and
bade him Ile cheerful, retire' to rest; and
fear no'danier, And on the morrow;-
when he had risen, she gave him a pound
of tow, and Said to him :
"Take'this to, the Emperor and say
that if he Will stop _ with it the mouths
and the springs of all the rivers in the
world, then will I do that which he has
commanded."
Again the man did according.to his
daughter's counsel; and, when he had
delivered_ her message, the Emperor
acknowledged that she was wiser than
he himself, and comntanded that she
should at once be brought before him.
When, sbe: had come.• into-.his presence,
and hafkaa,luted him, he said-to her:
"My daughter, tell we what can ha

heard the furthest-?" and she answered,
"Gracious Emperor, thunder and a lie."
The Emperor then took his beard In
his hand, and demanded of his counsel
ors how much it was worth, , When
they had placed upon it - a value,—some
greater and some less,—the maiden
said
"Most gracious Emperor, none of thy
counsellors have answered well. The
beard of the Emperor is worth three
showers of rain in a dry summer."
These words.delighted the Emperor,
whodeclared that the maiden had
swered better than all his counsellors.
He then asked her if she would become
his wife, saying that he would receive
only one answer. The maiden prostra
ted herself before him and, replied
"Gracious Emperor, it is thine to
command, and mine to obey what , thou
commandest. Let me ask of thee but
one thing, namely, that thoa shalt give
me a writing, written with thine own
hand, that if it should ever be thy pleaS
are to send me away, I may carry from
thy castle whatever single thing. I. may
love best." - •
The Emperor gave her .the writing
that she askod,•and then had her placed
upon the throne beside him.
For many summers the Empress was
loved by her husband ; but it came to
pass in time that he ceased to cherish
her. Ecrthen said to her one ,day, "I
do not, wish thee, any longer .to be my
wife. Leave my castle, and go where
thou wilt.".
She answered,, ‘4llnatrious Emperor,
obey thee. Grant :me• only that
I may stay until to•morrow."
The Emperor granted what she asked,
and in the evening she poured some of
the juice. of a certain herb into - a cup of
wine, and preiented it to' him,' and
said : '
"Drink, illustrious Eniperor; and be
happy ! To-morrow Igo away, and to
-morrow I shall be more joyful than I
was even on my marriage morn."
The Emperor drank;' nd soon his
eyelids became heavy; and`he fell asleei;
while he slept; the Empress had laid
lifted.into a carriage which was in readi
ness, and therein conveyed to a distant
grotto, which she long ago - hid prepared
in antiapation of such ademergency.—
Whed the EMperor awoke,' and rotinil
hiniself in the grotto; he*angrilY &mend:
ed how he had come. thither. "I hive
had,you - ; brought liere,".replied the Em
press. Ard he then asked, very.angri
ly, wherefore she had-done tlais,,adding
"Did I not say thou shouldst no looger
• .
be my wife ?" The Empress took out
of her bosom the writing which the Em
peror had given her before her.marriage
and answered : . , 7
"It is true, illustrious Emperor , ; but,
this writing, which was giv.en by thine
own hand, accorded me the, right to
bring away with me, when. I quitted the
castle,
, whatsoever I. love best ; I ex
ercised'my- right ; and brought thee,most
most gracious Emperor."
When the Emperor hearolthese words,
he vowed never:tot part thin 'so faithful
and, viise a wife. So -he embraded her;
and .returned with her to the castle ;' and
they two slit thereafter side by side upon:
the throne, for many summers; and
when the last; summer had passed, death.
reaped 'them both together, like a cloud
ble ear of corn.
A PITY LAss.L 7 Two you__ a ies in
Albany were spending the summer in
northeastern New ',York. During their
visit they took several long rides with
the daughter of their host ;about the
country. On one of Ojeda occasions as
they had been traveling some distance
and the driy.wai warm, and`as:a trough,
of running water stood by the road side
they concluded to give the pony a drink.
One* the city ladies'agreed to get out
and arrange matters for that purpose.,
The' others' remahllng' in the carriage
and deeply engaged in conversation, for
some time paid no attention to the pro
ceedings of their comprinion. ',When. at
last 'surprised at the long delaY; They'
discovered her endeavoring to unbuckle
the s crapper:. (the strap which passes ,
around-the horses tail.) •
"Why what, in the world are you.do-'

Firlor Courtship,
The folloCng emphatic and sensible
protest against one of the most atrocious
of the many fashionable follies of rirod
ern society•is from the pen of "Jenny
June," of
~the Sunday Times. Would
that every parent could , read and heed
"Years and s.yeara ago,. 'bundling', is
said to have been practiced quite com
monly, even in the county of Lancaster,
by our ancient Dutch ancestors, and was
so respected as an old andhonorable
method of courting, that it was kept in
countenance long, after a finer instinct
and more correct taste had condemned
it in the minds of all intelligent people.
The precise signification of the term
employed we shall leave to, old Knicker
bockers to determine. The facts come
to us only by way of tradition, and are
now so completely lost sight of that it

it' is n'ot our' object to enter into re
searches upon the` subject, hiit simply
show that; shocking as it may have been
to fastidious seniibilities, the style of
to-day, in 'the midst of the'professed
taste', delicaey, refinement, and- culture
.of our best society, is 'scarcely less ob
jectionable. Is this -startling ? But
who will dare to say it is not true ?
"Careful parents will not permit their

Two country lads came at. an early

and each little merchant saw with plea
sure his store steadily decreasing, and an

.Harry's stand when a gentleman came
by,and•placing his hand upon it, said :
‘•WlittVa largo melon ; I think I must

Ilgir "o'o'r:lbn:irritation" means the
application of a corrosive substance or
liquid to any part_where disease is sup
posedl to exist, which irritates, burns,
and destroys the

the .muscles underneath ; thus a new
disease is created, more powerful and
inflammatory in its action than the one
which is internal, and therefore it may
be said to counteract it. This' frequently
gives temporary relief; but it is liable
to objection, because a new disease is
thereby introduced, and the patient has
then to contend against two maladies
instead of one-. A blieter, for instance
talle',effect on overt' part of the body
and on constitution, whetheihealthy or
unhealthy; so will. tartar-emetic oint
ment, catharides, Bcd.
