i i lie pictur'd wall*—
c.stml bull*,
i o return no more ; for the evening air
Has fuituM y our brow—und death is there !
The lovely are met in the dancing room,
With their brilliant eyes, nnd (lushing bloom ;
Amid festoon’d columns they lightly trend ;
And thcycenlcd lamps their liugnwice ahed
()’«•)■ their grace)id forms, like tiie hrenth of morn
On tho bounding stops of the woodland fawn.
Ye part in smiles—hut ye meet no more,
your step is lost from the chequr’d door;
The hriylit and heautiliil pass away,
I roin the b.ilI-room's glow, to the grave’s decar ;
ripring ilow’rs were wreathed round the. fair young
That iudcutli’s last sleep lies mouldering now.
When shall ve wnkr
Fair oncaaial dear o
The cold pale forchend their lips may press—
Alas ! ye return not the warm caress ;
Life, w ith tin: spirit, has passed away—
To the tomb—to the tomb—with liio seusuless clay.
Go ye not there—go ve not there—

I hough tlie clicek with health’s rich crimson glows,
’Tisihc parting brilliancy sunset throws;
auc nt tin* breath of the poison’d air—
i that sleep again f
patliy upon me ? Is it tt liglit tiling that I have
sulfercd a daily martyrdom through life; that my
very parents loved me not, although my young
heart uas htirsiHig w ith love for them; that my
brothers mocked me, ami my sisters (eared me ;
that, in .uv riper years, tiie one fair bring to
whom 1 poured out the riches ef a hoarded affec
tion, the whole of that love which had been turn
ed hack and repelled hv all other*....that she, who
did love me*, who saw through its miserable veil
of humanity, thu warm and generous and lofty
spirit within me....even she should have been torn
from me by those who knew me not, save by
that most utiiormnate criterion of merit, my out
ward appearance? 1s it nothing that l am now a
lonely & disappointed man, stricken into thw “sere
and yellow leaf,” befoie my time, with tho frost
of misery if not of years predominating over
the dark lock of my boyhood ! I* it nothing
that I urn now a solitary wanderer in tho tho
roughfare of being, my sympathies fettered down
in my bosom, my affections unshared, unreci
procated, anti wandering like the winged mes
senger of the Fatriareii of the deluge over the
broad waste of an unsocial humanity, Pud finding
no icm, no place of refuge, no beautiful island in
the eternal solitude, no green •branched forest look
ing above the desolation, where the weary wing
iuhv he folded, and the fainting heart have rest ?
Basin!— I have been penning nonsense, sheer in
excusable nonsense; and yet it lias brought mois.
| lure to my eye, and a tremor to my heart, l’failht
i I should like to nee a tear of mine. It is a long,
a veiv long time oince I saw one. Manhood in
its desolation has no tuns. *• Woman-kind,*’
says King James, the old Scotch pedant, “ espe
cially her* able to slicde tcares at everie light occa
sion, wlieu they will—yea, although it were dis*
scmhlingly, like the crocodiles.” And Reginald
Scott affirmed), “ there bee two kindes of tearex in
woman’s tie; one of true greefe, the other of de-
ceipt.” Well, it i* a happy faculty, this tear shed
ding, after all. It is woman’s last and most pow
erful appeal. There are few hearts capable of re
sisting it. It excites pity; and pity, by gradations
almost insensible, melts into love. 1 have often
admired the truth of a remark in Godwin’s Cfou-
tteedy. “Beauty in tears, is the adversary which
ba* thrown down its w eapon, and no longer defies
us. It in the weak auil lender (lower, illustrious iu
its lowliness, which asks fora friendly baud to raise
its drooping head."
Rain, rain—drip, drip! fog wrapping the hills
like a winding-sheet. And here am I, sitting by
niv dim and whitening eonl-fnc, a wretched tnfcuii
tlirope—a combination of the ferocity of Timon
ami the spleen of Rochefoucauld—solitary, cutu-
paniouless:—
“Alone, nlono! all, al! alone!”
No beautiful creature of smile* and gentle tones
to cheer my failing spirits, and melt away tho
sternness of care w ith the warm kiss of her affec
tion. Rut wherefore these murmurs ? Matrimony,
i alter all, i* hut a doubtful experiment. W hat saitii
my Lord Bacon? “lie that hath wife and chil
dren hath given hostages to fortune ; for they are
impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue
or mischief. Certainly the best works, and of
greatest merit to the public, have proceeded from
unmarried and childless men.” And Count Swe-

At CCo5;:r*...^2i April Day.
Rain—rain!—no, not precisely rain—but worse,
infinitely worse—an April day of mist and sha
dow—such as (Issian’s ghosts might revel in,—
mud and water below, cloud-rack and moisture a-
bove !—Faugh,—Coleridge says that the mind
gives nature its gloom ami its beauty—it* light
and sombre coloring. No such thing. Nature
colors the mind. 1 (cel at this moment her sha
dows closing around me. I am out of humor
with her. It seems to me as if she ha* assumed
tier most dreary ami uncomfortable aspect for mv
own especial annoyance. 1 can hare some pa
tience with thunder-storm. There is some
thing of a grandeur about it,—the slow, iiprolliug
clouds—the. lightning flashing out of their thick
blackness, like tho eye-glance ofnn angry spirit —
the solemn roll of the far-off thunder—or the
simultaneous (huh ami uproar, as some hill-crag
or tree top trembles with it* fiery chastisement.—
A sweeping Northeaster is a disagreeable visi
tant ; but within doors you can easily reconcile
yourself* to it; and there is somewhat of amuse
ment in the gusty clashing ol the rain—the flood
ing of the street*—the swaying of the tree-tops
—the rending of umbrellas, and the forlorn ap

A. Ay. sir—I can’t afford them cheaper.
<{. Half a dollar ! 1 wonder people will bring
such dangerous things into market. 'They’re the
most hurtful things in the world-—there’s cholera
enough iu that single peek of beans, to kill all the
people in New-Yoik. Half a dollar indeed!
Why, good woman, you ought to be prosecuted
for selling thu cholera.
A. I must sell something for a living.
(1. How do you sell these potatoes ?
A. At a shilling a peck.
({*. At a shilling, eh ? Well, tliat/vill do
that’s not so very bad. Potatoes are not danger
ous like tfie Lima beans. I'll take a peck. How
do you sell turnip*.
A. Sixpence a peck—cheap as the dirt they
grew in.
(I Eh ! Quite reasonable, I think. They’re
very healthy too—only sixpence a peck- quite
healthy.
(Proceeds to the next stand.)
'These peaches look very fine. How do you

must make a little profit on them, you know.
A dollar a peck ! Don’t you know, good
woman, that them peaches are chock full of the

ungalluntly confines the common scold, communis

were all represented as females. For one, J vnl-

charm ol’ women. I would have it soft, low and
faintly musical, like the straying of the south wind
over harp-strings—an articulate breathing, mellow
ed and rich with the earnestness of soul, soothing
and gentle as the whisper of an angel. The an*
cienis represented Veniu by the side of Mercury,
to signify that the chief pleasures uf matrimony
were in conversation. 1 have ever admired tlic»e
lines of old Atfsoniu*:
“ Yana quid atlbctn* laciom niiiii pingeru piclori
Si uiihi similoin jiingero, piugo souum.”
And if is thus I would have my “ lodge love” de
lineated, not upon perishing canvass, but on the

“Tho voieulevs spirit of a lovely sound.”

Well, you may .nl yourself at rest on that »cor*
fur I am not dead, though I’ve been horribly fright*
ened, jTtst as every body else has in Ncw-York—
hut I didn't clear out of the city—'cause
I hadn’t die ready funds to dispose of, and six
concluded tu stick it out. On the average, I *n>
not sorry that I Staid here, for I hare been a pret
ty cute observer of the cholera, ami have picked
up lots of curious information about it, which I
mean to publish iu a hook one of these days, All
the doctors here arc doiug the same thing ; and t
don’t see why I ha'nt as good a right to publish
my observations and turn a peony by it, as any of
them.
You see the cholera is a mystified sort of
case, nnd not being treated p'f the doctors’ books,
it Is clear they don't know more about it than
common people. 1 don’’t like to boast much, but
in fact I was the first one that suggested to Mon '
gcheer Itis grand presidential (I dislike the word
Sovereign") specific for tiie cholera—but ho
stole the march on me, and I didn’t make much to
speak of, by the operation. He got his name up-
by getting all hispatients that didn't die looertify
that lie cured them, and publishing theiraffidavys
Ut the newspapers. F.veiy body believes what
the newspapers say, whether true (>r false, anif •d
every body went to be cured of the kollapse—but
some folks humbugged the tlucior, or tho doctor
humbugged them, 1 don’t know which ; but
'shall judge for yourself.
You see there was one fcllrr at our house that
conceited he had go; the cholera—he waked up
in the middle of the night, and sung out that ho
had kollapsed—that he was a dead man. In less
than no time,some half a dozen of us jumpt up
ami run to his room, and sure enough there he lay
rolling and roaring just like a stuck pig, and look
ing in a great agony'. By gimminy ! it made my
hair stand right up of an end! but we set lo and
rubbed the feller till he was redder than pickled
beef, and then got him up on his legs and walked
him about as hard as wc could. After this ho
come to considerably, and we asked him how ho
felt. “Oh dreadful—dreadful—I’ve got the last
symptoms—my tongue is black as night,” he blub
bered, at the same lime running out his tongno
before the glass and lolling it round fur our inspect-
lion—“Oh, do send for the doctor—quick-
quick !’’ he again cried out, und threw himself oil „
the bed writhing as before.
One of ii* started off, nnd in less than an hour
came hack with the doctor. lie felt of his pttrsa
and looked wonderful wise, but said nothing, itis
patient all the while expecting to hear his doom
pronounced, and looking the doctor anxiously in
the face. In this way they sat on (he bed for
• onte time, till at last the doctor pare it as his
opinion, that the man had no cholera at all. “Oh
hut I li.ive, doctor—I’ve got the black tongue—
the last stage of mortification—only one door off 1
from the ko-ko-Iapso!” his voice faltered as ho
uttered this terrible word, and he sank hack ot»
the bed quite exhausted, while the sweat rolled
down his face in drops as big us potatoes. Tha
doctor now drew out his spectacles, and moun
ting them on his nose, proceeded tu examine tha
patient’s tongue. There was no mistake about it
—it was is black ns his bal--aud the sight of it
made tiie doctor look black too. “How long has
this been the ease V’ said lie. “ Oh I’ve been a
case these six hours, doctor....but dou’t report mo
....lor heareu’s sake don’t, doctor!” 1 meat! your
tongue, man—-bow long lias it been coateu ho
black?” “Oh, it was just us the old Dutch
struck twelve when 1 first discovered it....from
that hour I’ve had the most exclusive pains—oh,
I’m dying—du--du, do something fur uie, dear
doctor !”
The doctor then gave hint a dose of something ]
that smelt wonderfully like cam fire, which he oaiu j
was his grand specific. After this the feller seem
ed easier and got into a comfortable nap, aud the
doctor left him. The next morning when thesei
circumstances were told at the breakfast table, it
made nn -mall consternation. One said he should
leave the house, and annlher said he should, and
sn on to the number of a dozen, till the old lady
began to be iu a great taking lest she should lose!
all her boarders, when down came the cholera pa
tient half dressed, right into the room. “ Oh I
am well—1 am well!” cried tie “ “ 1 hare found
out what was the matter of my tongue.” “What
was it—what was it ?" exclaimed tweuty voices,
while some of our number lied to the opposit
part of the room, so frightened were they by tlv
appearance of a cholera patient so near to them,
“ 1 have found out the cause,” said he—“ it wat
the hlack-berry pudding we had for dimer yester
day !” and sure enough on looking al our tongue:
—which we now tor the first lium thought of— *v
found that they were all coated over in the stun
manner as the cholera patient’s. The inyster
