Vesrs—eventful veers have paspe’d.
Sweet Hister,since I met thy smile;
I'm thinkin/jnow whnt change the’ve east
Upon euch other’s form the while. ^
Thy girlhood’s day* with them are flown—
A calmer light must (ill thino eye;
Thy voice have now* an added tone,
I hv tresses fall more dark and free.
Yet, in my dream n( then and home,
A slight pale gii 11 ever *ee;
Whilst: smiles to her mild lip do come
Like etara in heaven—tremblingly !
For with thy young heart’s wish to bless
There uye seemed blent some troubled fear;
As ifit knew all tenderness
Must see its worship perish here!
And oh! the prayers I pour’d to heaver*
That time prove not to Hire, how golden links are
riven!
And I,oh sister! /urn changed;
You scarce would know the dreaming boy,
Fur all too fur liis steps have rang'd
Through wildniin^ ways ol strife and joy.
Oh, falcon-ey’d ambition’s schemes,
The thrill that conies on mounting wings,
Have left no love for quiet dreums,
And team’d contempt for lamer things !
And pleasure to my youthful cheek
So many a hot wild flush has won.
That to her foils have grown too weak.
Some nerve must still bo pussion.spun!
And, if'mid scenes nil bravery—glow ;
The night Iiuh found mo proud and blest,

Have struck sad music from my breast!
And wliHiint times, thought leaves mo culm,
And dim,sweet metnor ics flout by,
Oh! then I feel bow cliangi-d I am—
Yet manliness forbids llio sigh!

THIS SIS VERITY OF PARENTS AND
TEACHERS.
We have recently read a borrowing instance of
the effect of a blow on the head, inflicted with a ru.
It-r. Dr. Wigan, in whose work on tho Durulily
of llio Mind the account is found, stales Unit lie
Knew the parties, and con vouch for the general ac
curacy of the narrative. We give merely
t brief summary as a warning against sc.
teritv, and especially against blows on the lieiid.
f Two children of a respectable family, one five
J end the other ten yuurs old. allowed for years it re-
, markable attachment for each other, such, tlml nf-
t ter several trials it was decided to he dangerous to
I separate them, and they were sent away to school
together.
At first nil went well: the ardent affection cnn.
t tinued and their education promised to be attended
d 4-illi the happiest results.
In llie midst of this happiness, news urrived
from the school muster, that from some unexplained
cause, the eider boy hud begun to exercise u very
unreasonable and tyrnnicnl authority ovor the
younger; that he had been repeatedly punished fur
it, but that although lie always promised amend,
mem, und could ussign no cuuse, reasonable or un
reasonable, for his conduct, be soon relapsed into
liis usual habits, and the schoolmaster requested to
know what was to be done. The father immeili
atnly sent fur both boys, and entered upon n long
investigation. The little one was almost licurt-
peurunce. Her outer shell of plump sluggishness
is entirely removed, and she is both thin and spirit-
uellc-looking, ns if the removal of flesh bad disclos
ed the spirituality. She is somewhat less bcuuti-
ful nbout the neck and shoulders, much more beau-
tiful in countenance and nction. Still, one quality
of an uctress—that capability of inconstancy in
herself, without which it cannot be represented in
stage character. Never wns any thing inure con
vincingly in earnest than Fiuridigli’s first refusals
to listen to u new lover—never was anything more
ill done and palpably ugainst the grain, than her
yielding nt last to the lover’s persuasions. Any
body in the theatre would have insured Muduine I
Castellan to have (ofi'tlie stage) no idea lliut women
could ever do such a thing. Muduine Rita Borio,
on the contrary, w ho represented the other betroth-
ed sister, played the yielding much belter than tho
refusing.
Castellan lias not sung in all the Capitals in Eu
rope without improving ns a singer. She has fill
ed up the crevices in her throat, so to speak, and in
listening to her, now, you do not come to lliosu
places where the enr is caught and left wondering |
fora nolo or two, as if something was there that
required smootliiitL’, either by the composer or sing,
er. Those exquisite descents into the lower but
most enjoyable Heaven of the contralto, for which
Custodian wits so invariably upplaudod in ourcoun-
try, '.old with great effect lust night, and indeed, the
audience seemed eager to applaud hor whenever
there was nn opportunity. One thing wo lost by
hot appearing only in concerts—Iter smile—which
finds its way somehow to the car, for Iter voice
MISCELLANEOUS.
INSTINCT OF REASON.
Tiie New York eveniug Gazette tells the follow, j
ing story of a dog : •
What will our friend of the Knickerbocker,?
vrliom ivo know to bo a iuver of dogs, sny to the I
following instance of sagacity and reasoning power j ry torrent and whrilwind of liis rage, if this lady
broken, and excluirned, *‘ He might bent me every
day iflie would but love me ; but be liutes me, and j s '",’ d ' ed sweeter after seeing it
I shall never he happy again.”
The father now resorted to severe measures,
chastisement, long incarnation, and days together
w ith only brend and water for bis diet, but ull to no
purpose. The boy promised amendment, but up-
on the first occasion resorted to ull liis former vio.
lencc, uud finally attempted tho child’s life w ith all
the fury of a maniac.
The family next culled in medical udvicc, nnd
years pussed in hopeless endeavors to remove n
disposition obviously depending on a diseased brain.
Hud they taken this step earlier, these (loggings
and imprisonments would have been spurod,as well
as the father’s heart rending remorse.
Tho youth now advanced toward manhood.—
When about the age of fifteen he wns taken with a
violent, but Plutonic passion, for a lady more than
forty years of age, nnd llie mother of live children,
llie eldest older than himself. His paroxysms of
fury now became frightful ; lie made several
attempts to destroy himself; but in the vn-
Rita lioriu is diseoiiragitigly plain und course.and
I need not describe her singing. Brumbilla is n
handsome woman and n second rate singer. Rossi
Caccin I described in a former letter, mid liked her
no better last night. Ltibluucbe you know ull
about, except, perhaps, that lie is grown so mon
strously large that liis stomach makes any part
that lie represents comical. He must be wholly
unfit for tragic opera. Mario mid Moriani arc fine
singers, hut poor after Iliihini.
But Julia Grisi seems to have missed the way to
grow old, and quite forgotten that Iter voice should
by this lime stop mellowing and improving. Till
“CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET."
•Dorothy,’ said Ichubod, pale nnd trembling to
liis wife, ‘Dorothy, l have a secret; nnd if I thought
you would keep it inviolable. I would not hesitate
to reveal it to you; but oil, Dorothy, woman’”
‘Why, Ichubod, it must certainly bo a secret of
great importance, for you ure in a w oful agitation.
You know, husband, you can place implicit couti-
dencu in your wife. Have I ever given you uni
uccas on to doubt my fidelity ?’
‘Never, never, Dorothy ; hut I 'no secret 1 have
to communicate is one that requires inure than or

from divulging it. Ob, dear 1 shudder when l think

Noblemen bud wagered that with this singular

Foolish one! w midst thou forsake thy sisters for

Tlie fairy rejoicing in her new and splendid lot,
lanced gaily under tlie gleaming forest roof, and
sting many a rich enrol among the boughs which
niched over like n jewelled canopy. The snow
spirit listened with admiration to her song, as a
rang clear and sweet thro -git the wood.
But long ere tiie moon waned, Iter voice faltered,
and Iter step became languid. She had forgotten
that Iter fragile form was made for a sunnier clime, I l ied wl
and might not beur lltu chill ait which pervaded
about her. Slowly she ytulded to the piercing cold,
and al last sttttk benumbed upon tt snow w reath !
Olt! huw site longed to nestle in the arms of one
of Iter sisters, amid tlie silvery fountains nnd ptiion
tiial flowers of her own loved und lovely fairy land.
Tile snow spirits, in their spangled robes, gathered
bur, hut titeir voices were strange, and their
breath fell like ice upon Iter cheek The stars
looked down upon her with n cold, distant glance.
Flashes of radiance shot ever and anon athwart the
llio sky above Iter, seeming to mock Iter agony. Ail
about Iter wus glorious as tiic land of dreams ; hut
what tvttsits brightness loiter.
Faintly arose the last cry of tile fairy ; ‘Sisters !
O, sisters ! take me home ! — I am freezing !’

such circumstances, we were much gratified w itit a
piece of intelligence accidentally received, which
relieved us from litis disagreeable dilemma. By
boiling your soap witii salt, about a quart of the

You may then out it tip into hat s of proper dimen
