Memories.
BY UEOKGK D. FRENTicS.
Once more, once more, my Mary dear;
I sit by that lone stream,
Where first within thy timid ear
1 breath’d love’s burning dream.
The birds we loved still teil their tale
Os music on each spray,
And still the wild rose decks the vale—
But thou art far away.
In vain thy vanished form I seek,
By wood and si ream and dell,
Ami tears of anguish bathe my cheek
Where tears of rapture fell;
And yet beneath these wild-wood bowc.'S
Dear thoughts my soul employ.
For in the memories of past hours
There is a mournful joy.
Upon the air thy gentle words
Around me seem to thrill,
Like sounds upon the wind harp’s chords
XX neb all the winds are still.
Or like the low and soul-like swell
Os th t wild spirit-tone
XVhich haunts the hollow of the bell
VX hen its saddening chime is done.
I.seem to hear thee speak my name
In sweet, low murmurs now,
I seem to feel thy breath of flame
Upon my cheek and brow;
On my cold lips I feel thy kiss,
Thy heart to mine is laid—
Alas; that such a dream of bliss.
Like other dreams must fade.
What is Home without a Mother ?
XVhat is home without a mother,
XX hat are all the joys we meet,
XX’hen her loving smile no longer
Greets the coming of our feet.
The days seem long, the nights are draary,
And time rolls slowly oil;
And O, how few are childhood’s pleasures
XX’hen her gentle care is gone.
Things we prize are first to vanish,
Hearts we love to pass away,
Am! how soon, e’en in our childhood,
XX 6 beho : d her turning grey;
Iler eye grows dim. her step is slower,
Her joys of earth are pa sed,
An 1 sometimes, ere we iearn to k now her
She has breathed on earth her last.
Older hearts m.iy have their sorrows,
Grief that quickly dies away,
But a mother lost in childhood
Grieves the heart from day to day.
XX’e miss her willing hand.
Her fond and earliest care,
And 0 ! how dark is life around us—
XVhat is home without her there!
The Light oh the Shore.
Our life is a bubble,
And Tinie is the ocean ;
Each wave is a trouble,
And Love the commotion.
Our breeze is a sigh,
That wafts us •Ase u’er ,
And soft woman’s eve,
The light on the shore.
From the rock of Despair
XX’e let go the rope,
Through the breakers we wear
XViih the anchor of hope;
“Heigh ho!” is the cry,
True Friendship the store,
And soft woman’s eye
The light on the shore.
Though we weather the blast,
And cherish the cargo,
Grim Death comes at last!
And lays an embargo 1
XX’hen thus called to die,
May we still look before,
Still keep in our eve
The light on the shore.
IST* Men and women are never more fre
quently outwitted than when they are trying
to outwit ollieri'.
It is b' ttir to have ofie God on your
side than a thousand creatures; as one foun
tain is better than a thousand cisterns.
Never be idle Always have some
thing to go. Remember moments are the
golden sands of time.
There is an efficacy in calmness of
which we are unaware. The element of se
renity is one which we peculiarly need.
The purest joy we can experience in
one we love, is to see that person a source of
happiness to others.
a® There is no exception to the rule of
three. As your income is to your expendi
ture, so will the amount of your debts be to
your cash in pocket.
There are three kinds of friends
friends who love you, friends who do not
trouble themselves about you, and friends
who hate you.

a woman is returned ; it ought to make us

i Politeness is not, an article to b- worn in full

Tho Face at the Window.
It was a woman’s face Lsaw as I drew
rein at Cuthbert Hall—a pale, calm, al
most proud face, with larfe Creole eyes,
and coal-black hair, looped away from the
cheek in heavy and shining folds.
I had seen many more beautiful faces
during my winters in h’«w Yoik and
Washington—my summers at Cape Mav,
Newport, and Nahant; and, besides, I was
expecting to meet at the ball a certain
Southern belle and heiies.-. r ii sister-in law
of the friend who had inviied me at his
house. So I gave only glance
to the pale stranger, aihiLjdism uiiiting,
rang the bell. A slave answered the sum
inons, and, conducting me into the libra
ry, went to call Ins master. In a few mo*
inents the door opened, ahd the lady whom
I had seen at the window came in, with
two curly-headed children clinging about,
her, She Dade me good morning in a
voice stVeel as the thrill of a lute string,
and sai<l. with some embarrassment I
“1 am sorry that Mr. and Mrs. Cuthbert
are both out riding ”
“Ah ! and so am I,” was the answer;
“out I suppose they wid not be long; for
though they did not expect me to*day, 1
wrote them I sluuld probably be here this
week.”
“ Then, yon are Mr. Vincent ?”
‘•Richard Vincent, at your service; and
now introduce yourseif?”
“I—l—l am"—she paused, wound one
of the little girl’s ringlets about her fin*
ger in her confusion, and began again,
“1 am’’—once mure she hesitated, and 1
resumed:
“1 have guessed it —you are the gov
erm ■« !’’
t>he smiled, but the color mounted to
tier very temples.
“Foor and proud/’ 1 soliloquized; “how
dial Idiisli becomes her
At tins moment we heard the t amp <•(
hoir-es’ feet, and saw Cuthbert ,-i;d his
beautiful wife dashing up the bsoad aven
ue leading to the mansi-m. The govern"
ess nastily left me, ami I shortiy alter saw
her talking to my friends in the veiandah.
Their brief conteicnce over, my host ami
hostess entered and gave me the cordial
welcome which is the characteristic of
the South. When the greetings had been
tiiterchangid. 1 turned to Cuthbert and
said;
“Pray where is Miss Dupont, the charm*
ing sister in*law of wnom you spoke?’’—
He and his wife exchanged significant
glances, and I contained—“l am all impa
tient to see this pioagoii; don’t keep me
long in suspense 1* ■
“I will not —you will meet at dinner I’’
The next moment the dressing bell
rang, and the host led the way to the
guest Chamber where he left me to make
my toilet. In those days I was not in
different to personal appearance, and with
the aid of an attentive slave I arrayed
myself in the most elegant suit my ward*
robe afforded.
“1 wonder if I shall suit the heiress?’’
I queried, mentally, as I took a lass sur
vey tn the mirror and descended the dins
ing'hall. There, near the table, sat Cuth
bert and his wife, the f'aCe I had seen at
(he window, and not far from the govern
ess a young lady with a fair complexion,
a blooming cheek, the sunniest of blue
eyes, and a profusion of golden hair. 1
was a connoisseur In ladies’ dress at that
per od, and took in at a glance her costly
India muslin robe, with its frills of Meeh n
lace, the splendor of her bracelets, neck*
lace and eardrops, and the exquisitely
wrought, golden comb, which looped up
the rich tresses. Why was if that my
face wandered from her to the pale, cahn
governess, with her bands of raven hair,
and her great eloquent eyes, and a dress
that fell about her like a “Dnnmist ?”
"Blanche,” said my host, “allow me to
present an old and valued Ir.etid, Richard
Vincant !”
The blone beatify* colored, simpered,
and with an inclination she intended to
be like that of a prima donnatoan applaud
ing crowd, acknowledged my bow.
“Miss Marguerite." resumed Cuthbert,
•‘this is the guest we have been expect
ing’’’ She bowed with the grace of a
queen, and I as resp<‘ctfuily as if she had
indeed been one, as I said.
“We have bad the pleasure of meeting
before, Cuthbert I"
“As I told yon,” murmured the govern
ess, “I went down to tell him you were
absent.”
The ceremonies of dinner now began,
and as a seat had I ”en assigned me be
side Blanche, I tried to play* the agreea
fj£. but I often found my thoughts Wan*
dering to the pale, silent girl opposite.—
When the meal was over, and the ladies
had left the l’o m. we lingered at <mr wine.
“What do you think of my sister I’’ ask
I ed Cuthbert.
“She is very beautiful,” I replied,
“And have you fallen in love at first
sight ?’’
“If I have f shall not tell yon !” I ex*
I claimed, and then we went tin e.liatti’ g
Ina merry strain. When we adjourned
to the great, cool, luxurious p.o'or, 1
I found Mrs.Cutlibert and her s ; > r. but the
I governess was walking loand fro -,>n the
- terrace, apparently absoib -d t:„,
i The uanal small talk ensued, and .t last,
! at my request, the lleirtiss sat d iwn at
i the piano, am! played and sang with much
I skill. I had »l>sei v.-d a harp :n 'lie holt*
doir adj; nt, find lugged her to sweep
its sti ings l'ii me.
‘ I cannotsite KiiiJ. M iss M ,

' i the v. iitdov , t-’!' ( xela med, impel i >is
ome Marguerite, a<j w sh you to t.'tly
smho airs on the Itaip.”
f i,e g'-.vertieSs lie§itatl'd a moment,
Came in am! to..k a seat (it tip. hatp. As
Site sat Ih-ne I noticed fm the liisf time
the Riiphib f.i,,;, t-tmns of her lingers, the
ifi'aCelttl pifise f her head tip the stately
imrk; but I * <r,,| thrive wltt'ii she smoie

I xVaa sh.. n.n impiuvisalriUU ? 1 thought
she must be, so full of soul was the music
she poured forth, and wlietl she concluded
I asked .Mrs. Cuthbert whose Ccmpositton
it was.
“Her own,” she replied, “and she never
knows what she is going to sing when
she commences.”
I littered no fulsome words of cotnmen
dation to Marguerite, but my eyes must,
have spoken volinnes of approval
That night when I retired to rest, fflv
dreams were tmt haunted by the heiress,
but by the pale face 1 had seen at iliti
window—the face of Marguerite the gov
erness.
The next morning I was awake at. an
early hour, and glancing out saw Margue
rite, gliding across the lawn. 1 liast< tied
to join h t ; her cheek wote a rich glow;
het dark, lustrous eyes were full o| light:
her lips tremulous with smiles; her White
apron was full of snowy blossoms, and
she bad wreathed a spt ay of jasmine amid
the blackm'ss of her hair. How we be
gan to talk 1 scarcely know, but I never
was so entertained by any woman as by
her. I could touch upon no suljec in lit
erature or art w ith which she was not fa
rtiiliar, and Madame de Siael might have
coveted her Con Versa! imial powers. On
the lawn we subarated, but when we met
at breakfast in the presence of the Cuth
berts and the supercilious heitbss, 1 saw
that the old governess’ look had come
back to her face, and she was more reii*
cent than ever. My friend proposed a
horseback excursion to a boiling spring
in the r.eighboihootl, and wtien ottr patty
assembled on the verandah, I noticed w ith
the keenest disppoiutment dial the gov
erness had been exclm ed,
I rode at the bridle rein of the fail
Blanche, who looked very pretty in the
blue habit, aiid with her vet.el cap set
Coqnettishly above tier golden i.Csses,
but I found it an eil’o.t to interest my sell
in her common place chit ciiat. 1 fell a
sense of relief when we dismounted al the
hall, and as soon as I tiaU led my parinei
in, bounded up the siancase. Un the
way to mJ’ Cham er 1 parsed an op i.
door, atld through it caught a glimpse

correcting a sketch wutch <ii,e ul liu-m
had made. A portfolio .ay lieslde her,
which, I doubted not, was rilled with hei
own drawings. She heaid my step, and
looking up saw me on the Huusirimid.
“What ' ’ she exclaimed, ’’ “have yon
returned so soon ? 1 did not expect you
for an hour or two. 1 hope you nave en
joyed yiitirsclf.”
“No, 1 have not. I was really* disap
pointed because you did not go.”
A faint smile passed over hei face.
“!—1 ” she muiteied; “you can’t under
stand etiquette, it you sdipose a govern

1 felt the blood rush to my brow, us I
replied.
“There are many false notions in soci
ety; 1 am sore Mrs. Cuthbert’s governess
is the equal of any one here, and as such
1 legard her.”
Her face crimsoned, and for a time there
was a silence, which i broke by say ing:
“Is this the schoolroom ?”
“Yes.”
“It looks very cool and plesant; may I
come iu
“I suppose Mrs. Cuthbert would have
no objection.’’
“1 hope not,” and with these words I
moved to the table at which she was sit
ting.
“Does that portfolio belong to you ?” I
enquired, laying my hand on the article
inquestion. She bowed assent, and 1 re
sumed —"Shall 1 have the pleasure of ex
amining its contents ?’’
“Certainly, sir.”
She was calm, grave, quiet, but when
I drew forth the pictures and began t>
expatiate upon tin in, her leticence vaic
ished. Her eyes lit, ihe pale cheek glow
ed, her lips —those mobile lips of hers—
parted, and she talked with the enthusi
asm ot girlhood I'ne sketches were in
deed wonderful, and at last I said:
“It is a shame for yon, with vour ge
nius for painting, to dmdge as a govern
ess I’’ (
Again that peculiar smile flitted < ver
her features, as she murmnied:
“The poor must do what they can—not
what they would.”
At this moment we were interrupted
by the children, and I left her.
In the afternoon, as I was lounging on
a luxurious sofa in the library, the door
opened, and Marguerite appearted, but at
sight of me precipitatel retired
“Stay I stay !’’ cried I. following her.
“No, no, I cantiot, —I did not dream you
were here; I was lonely, and came down
here for a book.*’
“Come and get it.” With sohm relnc
tatice she entered and look a splendid] •
bound Copy of Tasso from the -lielf. 1
glanced at it and said: “What! do Jon
read Tasso ? b
“A little.”
“Then take a seat beside rhe, and we
will read together.”
She hesitAted an instant, and then as
sented. 'Hie liquid Tuscan language
sounded Very beautiful, syllabe'ed in her
accents, and the spell with which the gov
erness bad bound me, deepened w.itb every

I heard a tap at my door, and Cuthbert
(Uitered.
“Well,” he said; “A pciinj* for your

“I am thinking,” I replied, “how mys
terious a thing love is!”
“You are in loVe. then —glad of it—

“’Tis— 1 tie hot BlahciitJ!’’ I stammered;
“ ’tis not, Bliinche my heart has chosen —I

“The governess I” said Cuthbert.—
“Zounds, man; what dp you mean i”
“1 have to-day laiid hand, heart and for

envy nobody in the wide world.”
Cuthbert meditated awhile ere he re
sumed.
“You must be sincere. or you
would noi,marry M r:guertte.”
“Oihcere-pGo<! knows I am!”
My host gazed at me, ami laughed il
nerry laugh, that lang loud and long

“My dear fellow'.” he began, “you are

Facts for Pc or Farmers.
“Those farmers who have most difficulty
to make both ends meet; always plough most
and keep most stock. Now tnese men take
the true plan to keep thumselves always poor,
because their crop and stock arc always poor
aud bring little.” So writes John Johnson
iu a letter to the Secr.taiy of our Society ;
aud he thus illustrates his statement : “ it is
good profit to raise 3UU bu-hels of wheat
from teh acres, but when it takes thirty acres
to raise that amount, it is raised at a loss.—
So it is with cattle and sheep—you will see
the thinking farmer making lour year old
steers worth ftom to each, and In.-
neighbor s at the same age not worth over
$23 to {>4o.” His advice to the latter is,
“ if his land is exhau.-ted. he should plough
no more than he can thoroughly manure.—
Seed with clover and grass, and let it rest,
and that field will not only pay well for til
lage, but :t will furnish manure (if rightly
managed) to make another field of the same
size rich also.”
And then keep it tich, do not run it with
grain until again exhausted, or the end of
that laud wi I be worse than the first,—
Country Gentleman.
Goodness, like the river Nile, over
flows its banks to enrich the soil, and to
throw plenty into the country. Goodness is
generous and diffusive: it is larg'.ness of
mind and sweetness of temper- balsam in
the blood, and justice sublimated to a richer
spirit Goodness is justice and somewhat
m .re. Goodness is modest aiid sincere, in .
oil■ nsivc ..ml obliging : it rutiles and dis !
turbos nobmiy, nor puts anything to pain
Without uiccs-lty.
God never accepts a good inclination
instead of a good action, wheie that action
may be done ; nay, so much the contrary,
that if a good inclination be r.ot seconded by
a good action, the want of that action is
thereby made so much the more criminal
and inexcusable. A good inclination is Lut
I the first rule drautrht of virtue; but the tin

A Yankee Story.
Once while steaming down the Ohio, I
heard one that was genuine. I had been sit
ting in an arm chair under the lee of one of
the chimneys, and on the huricane deck,
reading a late novel, in which I was so much
absorbed that I did not notice what was pass
ing around hie, until my attention was attrac
ted by a Yankee at.d a Cockney, who were
evidently trying to find out who could tell the
mos unbeltevab e yarn.
Ihe Cockney led the way ; and turning
the subject upon hog killing, told of a gang
of six hands in Menie England, who would
kill s ! x hogs a minute, and clean them.
“ Wai, squire,' responded the Yankee.
“1 beli.-ve 1 know o’ somethin’ a leetle ahead
<>•’ that, notwitbstandin’ that's a purty big

“ ’Ow’s that ?’’
