isitaa somewhat pale to-night
jtpor found me with weary and
droofriiigr eye-lids poring over my task,
end when I had completed it, a newdif-
fi^filty arose. I had a composition to
Wiite, which I had postponed from time
to time, until the last opportunity was
about to b« lost, when 1 fell too, and
completed a treatise embraced in eight
pages of foolscap, about , on ,
what would you suppose t
* You trifle with roe William/ said
she, * do you think to conceal from
the weak state of your health. I hare
observed a sad change in you, for the
lost few days : your cheek has lost its
bloom ; your eye is not gifted with that
tender, steady gaze, but flashes with
unwonted fire, which is fast undermi
ning your constitution. Will you not,
Sms my sake, relax a little from youcex
ertions, and recruit your exhausted
frame 1
4 You ask too much from mo Mary.
You do not know how ambitious I am,
and it would prey on my mind if I were
not permitted to cope with my fellow
etudenta in their contest for superiority.
4 But you might to do me a kindness,
refrain from your musty bonks. Will
you then promise to cease in your stu
dies until your health is restored 1’
At this confession on the part of tho
fair maiden, who looked al him tender
ly as she uttered her request ; the stu
dent dashed a tear fiom his face, and
raclining his forehead on bis hand, re
lapsed into a reverie, from which he
was awakeuoU by the audible sobs of
bis companion.
With a start of surprise, lie inquired
what affected her in such a manner, to
which she replied with a faltering^'
' William! oh, William, are you
Will you have!*.- * I will have nothing
more of the pathetic/ - said she, * but if
you ran fi >d something that is horrible
I will like it. .You know variety is char
ming, and without contrast we cannot
rightly appreciate what is given
if you will favor me with a stanza in
which there shall be something moving,
and startling tothe feelings, I will then
for’to-night, but do not think that
you will escape again, for I have found
out a new source of pleasure, and I will
avail myself of such good fortune/
Well Mary/ said he 4 since you lim
it me to one more,-1 will make it suffi
ciently moving so prepare yourself for
something that will make you see* hor

Nor feel the weight of wrongs for which he Lied
But sleep forever on his silent and gory bed.”
" That is enough, William/ observ
ed Mary, * and you desetve a scolding
for making me shudder, but I will not
blame you since it was at rav request
that you read such a stanza, which is , ome f a i r bei ng of earUl , then it
enough to make dry bones rattle hut I j to d j e# *

* then so insensible to my grief; alas,
you do not know the depth of womans

I derive enjoyment 1* Hero she
interrupted by her tears, which flowed
tjlisly, and burying her face in her hands
site wept bitterly. t
The young student was too affected
to apeak, aud he too, joined his grief
- -wfcfc that of his Mary ; aud while he
wept at the thoughts of being lteloved
Jrpiho object of bis ardent attachment,
{fe saw how his was’ed form confirmed
her suspicions, and were it not for tho
unna'urnl glow of the hectic spot which
mantled his cheek, he would have been
4eropt( d to disregard her admonitions
but ho know that the worm was at work
although he felt it not. Through such
a floWory path does this disease lead ii
victims ; they feel that they are wasting
a way and yet tltcy suffer no pain.
Before the student there lay an open
book over which ho had been poring,
■and by its aide a manuscript of fugitive
poetty, from which he had promised
read a few lines to Mary, whtse needle
work was thrown aside to hear it, when
they were interrupted by tho 6ccnc
which wo have just delineated.
Calming herself, Mary now requested
bimto proceed,.when taking up the MS
he inquired what subject would please
her beat; to which she replied, *1 have
been walking this evening, and have
•een a beautiful child smiling, and crow
ing with delight ; can you not read me
m passage descriptive of such a pleasing
night/ %-
• I will endeavor to please you/ said
lie, and immediately lie turned over the
loaves until having found the right place
read in a weak voice, the following
words ; .
What is death? It cannot be an eter
nal sleep, for why is there implanted i
the bosom of man, a feeling that this life
is not the only one, which he is destin
ed to share ? Why that insatiate de-
to be remembered by his fellow
man ? We see, in the lowest of our
race, a disposition to do something,
which shall perpetuate their name after
death. This is their mainspring of ac
tion, and whether the principle is found
the cottager or nobleman,it is the same.
Some pltilosophets have cheated them
selves with the hope that ‘ death is an
eternal sleep/ but the sad reality is
ipened to tbeir view; on the appear
ance of the conqueror of mankind, mid
they fell, when too late, that they have
followed a phantom, which has led them
among bogs and marshes, from which
there is no escape. But were there no
thing to inflict a pang as we leave this
life, it would be no trial to die
would leave it with joy and think
selves fortunatp in quitting a cold and
heartless world, but where there
woven round our hearts ties that bind

’p YANKEE FARMS.
• We find the following accounts of two
Yankee Farms in the report for 1840
of the Farm. Committee of tho Hanford

is that of JoW B. Davis, of Derby,
whose farm consists of seventy-five acres,

Tho great profit thus secured, appears
to have resulted from tho establishment

faithfully and energetically, carried out,
and from the guiditig«f *afl Che opera-
tious by constant and accurate accounts.

To which William observed 4 You

would ; have on your nerves. 1 do not
fetter myself with measure, and the con
sequence is, that, where tender lines
would pass i rough and rugged ones are
inadmissible.
/ell I declare William/ said she,
you look like another person, and your
paleness is entirely gone. I think such
pastimes agree with you, and l will be
not to let you rest. I have almost
driven away my gloomy thoughts, and
hope my fears may all prove ground
less, for you know that when you grad
uate, we ate lo.be married, and I do hot
wish you to bp snatched away from roe
by such an untimely death.’
But Mary/ observed William, * I
feel a restlessness for which 1 cannot
account. A feverish excitement
siiming me, and yet there is a joyous
feeling connected with my disease. It
may* be an affection of the mind, brought
by .close application to books ; but it
does not become us to murmur at the
dispensations of Providence, and if it
seem fit,'and good-in the sight of the
Supreme Being to take me away from
you, do not repine at such a blow, but
remember that in another world wo will
meet again. Have you never heard
how kindred spirits are united beyond
tho grave ; there is a kind delusion,
which flatters us with the hope, that if
patted in this life, we may be united jn
the next/
• And is this the kind of talk you in
tend to favor me with while

you have grown quite melancholy late
ly, and I hear you talk of nothing but
tlte happiness, which awaits '
titer and a better home. Are you thep.
sensible that death has fixed his hand
upon you ? Will you thus inflict pangs
He was here interrupted by the grief
of his companion, who implored him to
cease, when laying aside the MS, lie
placed his hand in that of Mary, and
with eyes that glistened with tears of
happy joy ; be gazed on her in whorrt
he reposed all bis hopes of earthly
happiness, and addressed her in a fal
tering voice with feelings which almost
choked his utterance.
•* Mary now you are doubly dear to

affection, but calm yourself, and do not
thus give way to unavailing grief.
They remained together until tho
flickening lights warned them that it*was
growing late, when parting they sought
their respective chambers, but repose
came not to them until a fervent prayer
had ascended for their mutual safety.
The next morning when Mary appear
ed at the breakfast table her eyes were
red with weeping, end William’r looks
were changed from their unnatural glow
to the paleness, which the consumptive
wears. A kind inquiry from Mary i ■
regard to the state of his health, was an
swered in such a feeble voice, that she
knew he must be worse. It w
mended by Mary, that they should take
morning walk, as the fresh ait might
contribute to the restoration of his health,
In accordance with this they now went
forth, his form supported by the fair
girl, and with faltering steps they reach
romantic spot, where a large moss co
vered rock afforded . a natural seat, and
the gayest flowers lent their fragrancoto
the scene, while from tree and bush
were heard the notes of songster birds,
as they carolled their joy at the return
of spring. Seated here, the beauty of
the scene is admired in silence until
William observed, while a dry cough
impeded his utterance, 4 Mary you know

Another consideration is dwelt upon

observed that economical management
has already reached ^.its limits in Ihe
'British Factories, and that Very little if
any further saving can be effected in this
direction. In the United. States,
contrary, there is great room for imme
