Where first the summer breezes swept,
When trees with leaves are 4aright.

And breast. with ,tern and fearless hearts
The Winter's blasts and storms.
The snow! the snow! How bright and

It gems the valley aida,. ,
Aa sweeping on before the wind
Like ocean's restless tide
It twines amid the withered leaves
That mark the autumn sere,
And weaves a sad and faded wreath...
To bind the dying-year.
The snow I the snow 1 how light it falls
As erst in other hours,
Ere childhood's hopes hal/ *tied away,
Or withered youth's gay flowers ;
Each crystal flake seems some past joy
That cheered the morning beam,
Then faded ere the light of noon
Fell on the gliding stream.

Tun Mirrsx.—Seventeen years ago,
there was a fair girl, so pure, so loiely,
BO refined, that she still rises to my mind
as almost akin to angels. She was
wooed, and ultimately won by a hand
some young man of considerable wealth.
He sported a fine team, delighted in
hunting, and kept a pack - of houiids.
He neither played cards, drank wine,
nor used tobacco. He had no ocenpa - L
tion, no calling, no trade. He lived on
his money, the interest of which would
have supiitirbidaa awn handsomely: I
never saw the fair,bride till a few days
ago. Seventeen years had passed away,
and with them her beauty and her youth,
her husband's fortune and hislife, during
the latter part of which they lived in a
log cabin on the banks of Ohio, near
Blennerhassett's Island—a whole family
in one single room, subsisting on water,
fat bacon and .corn bread. De, was
gentleman of . education, of refinement,
of noble impulses ; bit when his, money
was gone he could get, ,no employment,
simply because he didinokkniiittb4W to
do anything. 'For awhild he-floundered
about—first trying one thing, ~.then
another"; failure was written on them
all. •
Be, however, finally obtained a situa
tion ; the labor was great, the compen
sation was small, it - was that or strays-
Lion. In his heroic efforts to discharge
his duties - acceptably,' yhe - oirerworked
himself and died, leaving hie-widow-and
six girls in utter-destitution. In , seirr
teen years, the sweet and joyous snit
beautiful girl had become a broken-heart
ed, care-worn, poverty-stricken widow,
with a house full of children.' Young
women, if a rich man asks you to marry
him and bail DO occupition, of trade, err
calling 'by which he could make a - living'

MARIETTA, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 16, 1865.
THE SNOW.
From Godey's Lady's Book'.
Helice Haight.
Flelice Haight lay down,,the brush,
after smoothing her hair, and looked
steadily, at,her face in the mirror.' A ,
cold shiver ran through -.her frame as
she continued to gazNat.tho,Picture re
flected there.
"Virhat will Philip,say,and think when
he comes to us agaio ?" she murmured.
S'haclows,crept over her large eyes.
She moved.one.of her hands restlessly
over hethce, and then pressed it tight
ly to her forehead.
Efaight's voice meg heard in the
hall below, and presently, she turned the
handle of her daughter'e door.
" Nearly three o'clock. Helice, and—"
Mrs, Haight paused, and then walked
into the room. " Helice."
"Well, mamma ?"
" Teasing yourself Witk.the same old,
miserable doubts, dear ?"
Helice, raised her face. A fear glit
tered on her long lashes : she brushed
it away petulantly.
" Hosv an I hell)
mamma, for how can Philip love me
now, with these horrid small pox marks
so deeply indented upon my face ?"
" If his manly beauty had been marred .
at the fetufal battle of Cold Harbor,
would your love for him- have wavered
in consequence ?" - - -
"Oh !'mamma !"
Hence Elitighe's pretty forehead flush
,:
ed. Tears 'of indignation started in her
eyes.
"You have faith in yourself,--then
have a little in Lieutenant Stewart,
Helice," Mrs. Haight answered gently.
"If you do not hurry, dear, the Sanitary
Robits will be crowded," she continued ;
"and, as this will be your first visit
there since your illness, it will be less
embarrassing to face a few."
Belie° •did not reply, , . but tumbled
over with nervous haste the ribbons and
collars in her drawer.
" Belies Haight is - coming, this after-
noon," was being said at the Sanitary
Rooms. •
"A lice Burke saw her, yesterday, and
declares she_is quite a fright ; now;
somebody observed.
It in nothing" to us, if ,Lieutenant
Stewart doesn't think so when he cornea
home on,his furlough," chippered pretty
May Steroea.
" I always said beauty was but skin
deep."
Miss Stakely it was who- made - the
observation ; she was remarkably plain
looking herself.
May Starnes glanced up with a saucy
light in her dark eyes. .
"Not to be sneered at if it ia but skin
deep," she remarked, looking towards
Miss Stokely.
A flutter . of conversation ensued.
Others came in presently. Among the
latest was Helice Haight. May Sternes
made her way to her directly, end, while
assisting Helice tq,remove her bonnet,
whispered something in her ear.
?elle() Haight did not start; but her
face grew deathly, n its hue. Her iash
es drooped as though they would never
lift themselves again.
May's pretty lip quivered, but she
said carelessly, in au undertone--
" Don't' be a silly gonse, Helice.'"
She drew out her tiny "Geneva, 'data.
"Come,
_I w . ill w give you three minutes
in which.to smooth your ruined feathers."
Reline smiled a faint, sickly smile. and
bowed her face until her cheek rested
on May's bright hair.
How did you hear? who told you?"
she asked, in a steady voice.
"Your three minutes are not up yet.
You have been expeditious," laughed
May: " Now, - listen; Hence. Thetpre- -
cioue cousin of mine, Guy Sternes, - 's;nt
a telejiam to 'aunt Miranda, last even

might expect him, and that. Lieutenant .

for, would accompany him. Bat 'mum':

but I declared I would prepare you for,

into - the bargain if be felt so inclined.
Zunt "Miranda's last shot - w e Ets that I had
better stay at home, the next two days,
and mend my stookitigi, instead of going
to the Sanitary Reoms."
May looked very beautiful, as she
stood there, her little head poised on
one side, and her cheeks matching `the
delicate cherry ribbons at ber throat.,
She was a'litile . out of breath with her
rapid 'chititering, and her'eyes half flash
ing defiance:

out, at a side wibdow of the Saniiaiyr
Rooms, thought, as'he had often done
before,' how pretty and piquinf she was
in - those moods. The slight, elegant
figure standidt beside May'looked fa
miliar, to- him, but "but the highly colored
scarred face . deceived him,
" Heliee is not there," he said, retra
cing his steps, and speaking to Lieuten
ant Stewart, who was half way up the
hall. " I saw 'cousin May, though," he
„
continued, a warm glow spreading over
his sunburnt cheek "As'iisnal, she was
in a flutter of agitation about acitnething."
" I am glad Helicie was not there,'
Philip Stewart said, as he shook Guy's
hand at parting.
Philip strode rapidly on to - -Mts.
,
Haight's house . The veranda, Witfi its
Cool, green sprays of vines, looked de
serted. 'Through - the open door' he
made his way to the`music room. A
little riding glove had been negligently
throvin upon a pile of sheet' Inas*:
With a throb of 'pleasure, Lieutenant
Stewart recognized_ it as belonging 'to
Malice. Many slight indications. of her
taste and refinement :wale lavished
aboatthe apartment. kle gazed . a 4 each
and all, a, tender e.xpresOon softening
his frank, , dark ens, and t:hrowing,him-

with : closed eyes, and head luaned .hack,
tried to count the is!ays—the depth, and
breadth, and,,,heigh6— r his soul could
reach in loviog Ilelice Haight. Her
fair, @oft beanty row be(ora him, like a
vision- of Lielight ;, sweet, half-shy ,bro
eyes, the delicats,,paesionate mouth, the
qpick,sparlding, smile; whigh-chased the
calmness from her forehead. There
were no neutral traits about Helice
Haight. Bright, beautiful. Hence 1 The
thought broke into words.upon his lips.
A. smile came down , upon his
.face, his
cheek dropped easily, against the stuffed
back of the rocker, and still in dreams
did. Belice's wondrous beauty mingle.
Ear, half an )1014 Philip ~§tivkart slept.
The long walk, and, the A.ugukt, sou had
overpowered him, at, last, unawares.
When he did awake, he slowly unclos
ed• his eyelids, scarcely knowing where
,he was. Belice stood directly; .before
him, a faint,. sickening fear creeping
over her heart ea' her eyes remained
faste.ned on his conutenence. The de
scending sun threw a resplendent glow
over the room, lighting , up her motion
legk face. A. quick sob parted her lips.
Her eyes grew dark with a nameless an
certainty" and terror ; but when Lieu
tenant Stewart, half eatdhing his breath,
ieid out hisaimilo hex:, stiying, " It is ;
yes, it is my little Belies-r_ the sob
grew into a strong, pasaionate cry.
He did not wait for her to come to
him, but, when the trembling lips were
quieted, and the sobbing breath came
evenly, he said, holding botlt , ofher lit
tie hands to his heart--
"So Bailee has been doubting ' the
strength'of Lieutenant -Stewart's love'
for her?" '
Hence did 'not speak—folded safe
there-to his greatiheart: -Freed' from
the tormenting.doutte •and team-which'
had relentlessly' pursued her since her
:lciathsome illness, her content and hap
piness wereqoo - great for utterance. : . .A
•fluttering sigh told of past anguish and
pres'entlOy.= • -
Philip Htewartiooked down upon the
face nestling against his shoulder. A
keen pain was at life heart. Helios had
been the fairest blossom of 'her circle
accivaiiitanae, and he had been mo't
proud of her neadtk She had been

And asks about the news;
He peers into my manuscript,
And gives his candid views ;
