keep (be heart as light as you can
We have always enough to hear,
We have always something to do :
We have never to ask for care
When we have the world to get thro’!
But wha!Hhough Adversity test
The courage and vigor of man,
They get through misfortune the best
Who keep the heart light as they can.
If we shake not the load from the mind,
Our energy’s sure to be gone ;
We must wrestle with care, or we’ll find
Two loads are less easy than one!
To sit in disconsolate mood
Is a poor and profitless plan ;
The true heart is never subdued,
If we keep it as light as we can.
There’s nothing that Sorrow can yield,
Excepting a harvest of pain;
Far better to seek Fortune’s field,
And till it, and plough it again.
The weight that Exertion can move,
The gloom that Decision can span,
The manhood within us but Drove!
Then keep the heart light as you can.

THE BEWITCHING WIDOW.
BY FRANK FITZHERBERT.
Kate Warren! bright, beautiful, be

talked to her father and mother, aud father
and mother talked to Kate; but she told
them iliat she married to please them, aud
was now ‘her own woman,’ and ‘could not
allow her domestic arrangements to be med
dled with by other people.
One day Kate’s husband was compelled
to walk three miles, because she, contrary
to his expressed wishes, had gone ou a drive
What his thoughts were, the reader can
guess from the fact, that iu less than a
week the old mare had been swapped for a
five-year old colt, which Kate was told was
too high sjir.ied f r her to drive.
An on every other subject, Kate differed
with her husband ou this—the more so as
the colt was a beauty—and she admired
him, besides, the idea that be could ‘go,’
which made her anxious for the Oj portuni-
ty to test liis qualities; and as soon as the
breakfast things were cleared up, Kate led
out the colt, and ‘hitching him to the wagon
started to see ‘sister Frank,’ who lived some
four miles off. The colt was a ‘prompt
traveller,’ and Kate told her sister she ‘lov

An Interesting Husband.
One of the go-a-head ladies of this pro
gressive age thus writes of her husband to
the Boston 01iv#Branch. It does seem to
be a pity that such a woman should have
been caught in the same net with such
man as this lady describes her husband to
be—but such accidents do happen occasion
ally:

I am naturally a happy, bright, energetic,
warm-hearted, chaiu-hghtning, impulsive
woman—born after stages were exploded,
and in the days of railroads and steam en
gines. I have the most capacious heart
that ever thumped against a silken bodice;
cau hate like Lucifer, and love in proportion,
and be eternally grateful to any one who is
kind to me. Now. S-o l-o-m-o-n is a per
petual calm. Nothing ruffles him, nothing
disturbs him. Mount Vesuvius couldn’t
make him hurry; he does everything, mer
cantile and matrimonial, by rule, square
and compass.
When the proper time arrives, it “comes,
off.” and it don’t a fraction of a second be
fore. Were the house on fire, he would stop
to take the lint off his coat, and brush his
teeth before starting. If I ask him a ques
tion at breakfast, I never get an answer till
after tea; he walks arouud the house with a
noiseless, velvety tread, like a superanuated
pussy cat. Should the children, in their

we have, than that we should bring joy to evils of riches. There was poor Mr. Aslor

when he peiceives that there is such a thing ■ poor rich Mr. McDonough, in Louisiana,
in the world, and in the order of tbi'igs, as nigh about starved himself, and only had
comfort and joy, to begin to break out
from the prison ot his sorrows at the door
of sighs and tears, and by little begin to
melt into showers and refreshments ? This
is giorv to thy voice and employment fit
for the brightest angel.
So I have seen the son kiss the frozen
eaith which was bound up with the images
of death and the colder breath of the North;
and then the waters break from their en
closure, aud melt with joy, and run in use
ful channels, and flies rise again from their
little graves in walls, and dance awhile in
the air to tell that joy is within and that
the great mother creatures will open the
stock of her new refreshments, become use
ful to mankind and sing praises to the Re
deemer; so is the heart ot'a sorrowful man
under the discourse of wise comfort; breaks
from the despair of the grave and the tet
ters and chains of sorrow—he blesses God
and he blesses thee, and he feels his life re
turning ; for to be miserable is death, but
nothing is life but the comforter. God is
pleased with no music below so much as the
Uiauksgiviiig song of relieved widows, aud
supported orphans, of rejoicing, comforted
aud thankful persons.
Aristocracy.
It is always a perilous thing for haughty
people to look back along the line of their
ancestry. Twenty years ago, says the Mer
chant’s Magazine, this one’ butchered, that
one made candles, another sold cheese and
butter, a fourth carried on a distillery, an
other was a contractor on canals; others
were merchants and mechanics. They are
acquainted with both ends of society, as
their children will be after them though it
will uot do to say so out loud. For often
you will fiud that those toiling worms hatch
butterflies, aud they live about a year.
Death brings division of property ; and it
brings new tinanciers. The young gentle
man takes his revenues and begins to trav
el—toward poverty, which he reaches be
fore death—or his children do, if he do not.
So that in fact, though there is a moneyed
rank, it is not hereditary, it is accessible to
all; three good seasons of cotton will send
a generation of men up; a score of years
will bring them all down, and send their
children again to labor. The father grubs
& grows rich; his children strut and use the
money; their children inherit pride and go
to shiftless poverty ; their children, re-in
vigorated by fresh plebian blood ai d by the
smell of the clod, come up again. Thus

In the year 1840, some experiments
were instituted in the Glasgow prison on
the diet of a selected number of the in

lowing fare: For breakfast they had eight
ounces of oatmeal made into a porridge
with a pint of buttermilk ; for dinner three
pounds of boiled .potatoes, with salt; for

There are. two mode3 of administering

quantity ofitto be inhaled in a very short
time, with hardly any admixture of atmos
pheric air. Patients are in this manner
i^nckly rendered insensible. The method
is dangerous; and though but comparative
ly few accidents have occurred, the latter
have struck such terror into - practioners
aud members of the community, that this
mode should never be followed. Chloro
form should first be inhaled with a large
quantity ot.atmospheric air ; respiration is
allowed to go on regularly and formally,
the chloroform is then gradually inhaled in
a more concentrated form, and left off as
soon as any unpleasant symptoms occur.
Eeight or ten minutes, and from three to
five drachms of chloroform, are thus em
ployed in obtaining aaethesis; but this loss
ot time and chloroform is made up by the
absence of danger. Operations of the most
delicate kind can thus be carried on for a
whole hour; as much as three ounces or
more of chloroform are consumed, and no
accident occurs.

A Relic of a By-Gone Age.—On Thurs-
y last a powerful blast was made in the
rockm Meeting House Hill in Dorchester,
near Bostou, a few rods souih of Rev. Mr.
Hall’s meeting house. This bla*t threw out
an immense mass of rock, some of the
pieces weighing several tons, and scattered
small fragments in all directions. Among
them was picked up a metalic vessel in two
parts, rent asunder by the explosion. On
puttiug the two parts together it formed a
bell shaped vessel, 4 1-2 inches high, 6 1-2
inches iu the base, 2 1-2 inches at the top,
and about an 1-8 of an inch in thickness.—
The body of this vessel resembles zinc in

health, each p- rson had gained four pounds’
weight, and they liked tbe diet, the cost of
which, including the cooking, was two
pence three farthing per day. Other ten
men were fed for the same time solely on
boiled potatoes and salt; each had two
pounds for breakfast, three pounds for din
ner, and one pound for supper. They
gained three and a half pounds each ; and
they declared that they preferred this fare
to the ordinary diet of the prison. Twelve
others were ted on the same allowance of
porridge and milk for breakfast and supper
as the first ten; but for dinner they had
soup, containing two pounds of potatoes to
each, and a quarter of a pound of meat.
At the end of two months they had lost
in weight one and a quarter pounds each,
and they all disliked this diet. The ex
pense of each, daily, was three-pence sevec-
eighths. Twenty others had the same
breakfast and supper, with one pound of
potatoes for-dinner, and a half pound of
meat. They preserved good health, but
decreased in weight, and preferred the or
dinary diet of the prison. The expense was
four-pence seven-eighths each. In the ca
ses, perhaps, the previous habits and tastes
of the prisoners had some influence: yet it
appears that the six pounds of potatoes,
daily, was a better diet than the smaller
quantities of soud or animal food.

A Dream Realized.
Some time during the past summer, a
stranger stopped at one of the watering pla
ces ou the mountains south of Waynesboro,
Pennsylvania. After his arrival there he
was taken sick, and for several days was ap
parently deranged. On his recovery he in
formed- the proprietor of the house that,
during his illness, he had dreamed for three
nights in succession that he had discovered
at a certain distance in the mountain, un
der a rock, an earthen crock, containing a
large amount of silver. At this the worthy
host expressed surprise, and spoke of it as a
mysterious dream.
Afterwards, however, they were walking
together in that direction, when the dream
was again adverted to by the stranger, and
the proprietor at once proposed an examina
tion to satisfy their curiosity. The rock
was soon found, and after carefully brush
ing the leaves away, it was removed, and to
their utter astonishment, there sat a crock
full of silver. They took it out and convey
ed it to the house, and on examination it was
found to contain $400, all in half dollars,
which was divided equally between them.
The day after this discovery, the stranger
was about to take leave of the mountain,
and complained to bis friend,, the proprie
tor of the springs, of the inconvenience of
carrying the silver, when an exchange was
proposed and made, the stranger receiving
bankable paper for his silver. It was not
long after his departure, however, that the
proprietor made another discovery—his
four hundred dollars in silver was counter
feit, and he had thus been ingeniously swin
dled out of two hundred dollars.—Norwich

There are two brothers in the Rhode Is-
land.Legisluture,named Christopher Colum
bus Potter and Americus Vespucius Potter,
who are so much alike, that it is doubted
whether either knows himself from his broth
er. The Providence Journal says:
“Christopher is a whig, and Americus a
democrat; and there will be a pretty muss
when they get to Newport. Not a soul in
the House can tell one from the other; and
the democrats will be running to Christo
pher, and the whigs to Americus, with# all
the secrets of their respective parties. We
have ourselves sometimes commenced a po
litical conversation with the democrat broth
er, who always had the generosity to inter
rupt us before we got upon dangerous
ground. Now, when we meet either', we
say, as we take his hand, “is this vou* or
your brother?” If it be Christopher, he says,
‘it is I,’ aud we talk about politics; if it be
Americus, he savs, ‘it is not I—it is my
brother,’ and we talk about the weather.
We should advise them to wear a badge
around their hats, like the rail-road con
ductors; but then they would be sure to
change hats, and that would make it worse.”
