“JESUS WEPT.”
by mrs. marguerite st. i.kon loud.
Draw near ye weary, bowed, and broken hearted;
Ye onward travellers, to a peaceful bourne:
Ye, from whose path the light hath uli departed;
And ye who’re left in solitude to mourn;
Though o'er your spirits hath the storm clonds swept.
Sacred are sorrow’s tears—since “Jesus wejJt.
The bright and spotless heir of endless glory
AVept for the woes of those lie < a nr. - to save,
Ami angels wondered when they heart! the story,
That lie who conquered death wept o’er the grave,
For ’twas not when his lonely watch he kept
in dark Getbsaimino, that “Jesus wept.’’
But with the friend* lie loved, w hose hope bad perished,
The Saviour stood; ami through Ids bosom rushed
A tide of sympathy lor those he cherished.
While from Ids eyes the burning tear drops gushed:
And bending o’er the tomb where. Lazarus slept,
In agony of spirit “Jesus wept.”
Lo! Je*us’ power the sleep of death hath broken,
And wiped the tear from sorrow s drooping eye,
Look up ye mourners, hear what he hath spoken,
“ lie tlmt believes ou me shall never die.”
Through faith and love jour spirits shall ho kept,
Hope brighter grew on earth when “ Jesus wept.”

her head and confined with a silver pm, which
was the only ornament slie wore, the rest of
her dress being composed of the simplest and
coarsest materials. Though labor and ex
posure had somewhat stained the whiteness of
her hands and arms, their beautiful symmetry
could neither be altered nor concealed. She
appeared thoughtful and leaned against the
side of the well in silent abstraction. Unwill
ing to disturb her, they were turning into an
other path, when their steps were arrested
by a strain of rich and untutored melody, which
arose in a still airlike enchantment; the words
were simple, but tho sweetness which tlu-illed
through every note surpassed any thing they
had ever before heard.
“ Mon JDicu !” exclaimed Madame Villaret
“ it is that peasant girl; she must be ours.
Such a voice with a little cultivation, would
bewitch all Paris, and make our own and the
girl’s fortune.”
They returned und entered into conversa
tion with the young villager, the result of
which it is not difficult to guess. Pauline Du
rant was poor, but innocent and happy. She
only felt sad when she looked on the bowed
ana wasted form of her old father, and reflect
ed upon her own helplessness, lt was on the
evident love which she bore this aged parent
that madame Villaret worked, she represented
to her in how short a time, by tlie exercise of
her talents in cultivating that gift of song
which Clod had so graciously bestowed ou her
she would be enabled to raise him from a state
of indigence to one of comparative aflluence
and comfort; and Pauline was more than half
persuaded.
During their Interview at old Durant’s Cot
tage, there was one among the group avIio
stood apart with his arms crossed and his lips
compressed. He marked all that passed with
a stern and vigilant glance, listened to the spe
cious arguments of the lady with s contemptu
ous sneer, and watched the struggle betwee
visions of grandeur, and a deep rooted love of
her own simple home and habits which rent
the breast of Pauline, in silence. He longed
to speak, but did not, he was determined she
should speak for herself. She did so, and ma
dame triumphed in the success of her oratory.
But the young girl turned away from her con
gratulations and promises, aud for the first time
perceived who had made one of the audience.
“You here, Andre,” said she. “Oh! I am
so glad !” and then she paused, for there was
nothing in the expression of his countenance
to make her glad. “ You think I have done
wrong,” she eagerly continued. “ I know
you do, and are anury with me. But it is not
too late, only say the word and I will not go.”
“ And could you stay here and share my hon
est poverty after all the golden promises that
have been made you 1” asked the young man
doubtingly. .She leant her head upon his
shoulder, and looked up silently into his eyes,
there was no need of words, lie felt the deep
devotion of that look. “And yet, Pauline, you
would like to go ?
“ I confess 1 should. Only think Andre, in
a few years I should be quite rich enough for
om happiness. 1 will then return and live
with you forever!”
“ Let us consent toiler departure,” said M.
Durant ; “ even in the great city to which she
is going, the remembrance of a father’s love
and the lessons of a sainted nYother, will shield
her from harm. My grey head will not he

With a full heart the young girl knelt down
to receive her father’s blessing, a blessing not
1 of the lips, but of the heart. Andre was rritiv-

j scarcely audible whisper,
j “ Pauline, no other kiss must efface this first,

are requested to present them to the^siioacribei^ for pay- ment a crowded city and in the intense
course of study through which she was eblig-
universal favourite. That night she had been
even more than usually effective, and the peo
ple held their breath lest one note of that
sweet melody should be lost. Suddenly the
songstress paused and the air was abruptly
terminated by a wild shriek ; there was music
even in that shriek ; it was the voice of hu
man agony. Many thought it but the startling
effect of premeditated art, hut those who were
nwar enough to mark her livid brow, and shud
dering frame felt it to he the language of irre
pressible emotion. She" was borne from the
stage to her own dressing room, where she
soon recovered, at least the outward ajipear-
arree, of composure.
“ Vanvitelli,” she said in a whisper to the
handsome young Neapolitan, who washending
anxiously over her couch, “ return instantly to
the theatre and seek out the young man who
wore a green jerkin and scarcely took his eyes
off me the whole evening.”
“1 saw that yon noticed him.”
“You must bring him to me, I would speak
to him in private.”
The Count hesitated, and Pauline perceiv
ing the frown which gathered over liis brow,
laid her white jewelled hand upon his, and
added with a persuasive smile—
“ It is an old friend, a countryman of mine;
I would but ask if my poor father is yet alive.”
Subdued by the tears which dimmed her
beautiful eye, the Count bowed and withdrew,
to fulfil her request.
Tlie following morning as Pauline sat sad
and alone in her desolate, yet splendid apart
ments, the door was suddenly flung open, and
the accents of a never to be forgotten voice:
thrilled her to her very soul.
“I have brought tho stranger you wished to
see,” said Vanvitelli; and drawing nearer he
added in a whisper, “let your conference be a
short one, I shall return in an hour.”
She did not look up—she dare not! The
again his own, liis pure, his first, and only love.
Suddenly Pauline lifted up lieu palo wan
face from his bosom, and shook baclfc the damp
and dishevelled masses of hair which had hall’
concealed it. Her mind was e\idemly wan
dering to the past, her eyes shone with in
tense lustre, and she sang. It was an air from
the opera in which she should have made her
reappearance at Naples. The notes were
beautifully, touchingly sweet, and the peasant
girls clung to each other, aud listened as U10’
under the influence of a spell. The strain
terminated abruptly, and a thrilling cry from
Andre proclaimed that the soul of the vocalist
had passed away in its sweet but unholy me
lody.
The following is a very good hit at the ex
travagances of the system alluded to, but of
the system itself, divested of its ultraism, we
have rather a favorable opinion than otherwise.
At any rate, in these no business and no money
times when, “to cat or not to eat” a “good
dinner,” is hardly a matter of choice with ma
ny of us, one might as well make a merit of
necessity and speak commendingly, or at least
not disparagingly, of a system of ditetics which
accommodates itself to the pocket ! It is hard
ly necessary to add, that it is the hranhread
system, which the burlesque has in view.
cannot ho owing to their change of diet, but to
tlie roast turkios they ate last winter. There
is u class of young ladies at Mrs. Nippo’s
boarding house, who are living (those, I mean
who still survive) in exact accordance to the
principles of Dr. Sawdust, and find their com
plexions lughly improved by it. They have
excellent soup, made of pebble atones boiled
iu cleaT spring water; sometimes they strain"
it through a culander of turnip-tops ; but this
the Doctor culls high living. The sawdust
dougli-uuts never gave them the heart-burn;
and if you shake a bunch of radishes at them
once a week it is all they want. You never
saw a more beautiful and interesting sight than
these young ladies; they resemble fair and
delicate cabbage plants growing under the
shady side of a barn. Their strength is so
much iruprovod by their diet, that they have no*
occasion for exercise, and never feol tho least
desire to walk ubout. Indeed, this would be
somewhat hazardous, for oue of them, being
abroad on a windy day last week, was acci
dently blown against the side of a newly
painted house, where she stuck till somebody
came to her relief. Siuco this catastrophe;
they have all kept within doors, which, in fact,
is much tlie l est way for true Sawdustrians.
Since writing the above, I have received ac
counts from the neighboring town of Noodle-
ton, where Dr. Sawdust has also been lectur
ing. The good work is going cm tlieixi. Tke
people liavo given up eat lug entirely. Most
of them do nothing but gape, though even this
is censured os a superfluous luxury, as well Be
the practice of smoking fog through rye
straws. T©e-total fast day forever associations
are rapidly forming. Several people have
sewed up their moutl>9, and assure mo the
sensation is delightful; others hold back, and
think that knocking their teeth out la going far
enough. However, the general cry is “ go
uhead,” and I think these last must knock un
der, hi spite of their teeth. , ,
Brother Sappy lectured cm water-porridge
last evening, and delighed a most enthusiastic
audience. He gave a flaming description of

baked beans. We are all as thriving as corn

The following hit at a certain dietetic school
is extracted from “ Yankee Notions,” by
Timothy Tittervvell, Esq.
The Sawdust Journal, ft newspaper which
has been for some time established in this city,
must, we think, convince any man who will
take the trouble to read it, that eating is a very
dangerous business. It is astonishing to per
ceive what multitudes have diet! of roast beef,
mutton broth, and such like slow poisons. A
considerate man wonders to find himself alive,

Extract from tfie Wifs, by Dr. Alcott
MORAL INFLUENCE OF IHE WIFE ON
HUSBAND.
Every wife has it in her power to make her
husband either better or worse. This resnh
is accomplished, not merely by giving advice
and instruction alone. Both these have their
influence; and as means of improvement,
slunild not be neglected. But it is by tire
general tone and spirit of her conversation, us
manifesting the temper and disposition of die
lieai’L that she makes the most abiding im-'
pressions. These are modifying his charao-'
ter daily and hourly; sometimes even when
absent.
It has been said of the wife of Jonathon
Edwards, that by enabling him to put forth
his powers unembarrassed, she conferred a
greater benefit upon mankind, Ilian el! the fe
male pnblic characters that ever lived or wftf
live. A similar remark might be applied *0
the mother of almost every great and good
man’. Woman’s true greatness consists, so it
seems to me, in rendering ethers nseful, rather
than in being.directly useful herself. Or, in'
other words, it is less her office to be seen and
knomi in society, than .to make others seen
and known, and their influence felt.
I might give numerous examples and Illus
trations of the principle I am endeavoring to
sustain, both of this country and elsewhere.,
I might speak of the mother and the wife of
Washington, of the mother of Dwight, Frank-
lin, Wflbcrforce, Whitfield, Timothy, sffid
hundreds of others; for it was by the exercise
of the duties not only of the mother, but the
wife, that these illustrious characters were
brought forth to the world. But I will confln/a
myself to a single instance; end that one In
which the influence upon the husband was
direct.
The case to which I refer, is that of SVr
James McIntosh, whose fame as a jurist, a
statesman, nnd writer, is well known, not only
in Europe nnd America, but in India; and
whose efforts in the causo of science and hfr
manky, have rarely been equalled. Few men
have done more through the progress of a long-
life, th?n he; nnd few have at any late Deen
more distinguished for extensive learning,
large views, and liberal principles, in law,
politics, and philosophy; but especially in Lis'
favorite department of the law’. It was he of
whom Sir Walter Scott said, on a certain oc
casion, that he made “ the most brJlMtti*
speech ever made, ot bar or in forum.” Yet
this great mail, if we may believe bis own sto
ry, owed no small share of his greatness to the
assistance and influence of his wife. Of this
the following extract from a letter of hi* ft
friend, describing ber chmiicter, after her de
