From the Spiritual Age.
LOOK UP!
Although the skies are overcast.
And clouds are gathering thick and fast,
And echoes from a mournful past
Come sweeping by on every blast.
Let love and kindness conquer fate;
Fulfil by noble deeds and great,
Life’s mission, ere it be to Tate.
Look up!
There’s bitterness In unshed tears,
And sadness in unspoken fears;
And through the mists of coming years
How dim and dark our path appears.
But oh I there is a better land.
Where heart to heart, aod hand in hand.
And face to face, the loved will stand.
Look up!
From that fair land, how sweet to know.
That guardian spirits come and go
To us who toil and weep below;
They whisper soitly, ‘Grieve not so ;
Time, and time’s trials fade away ;
Work for ths right , while yet you may,
Behold ! there comes a brighter day.”
Look up!

Aunt Mary's last Flirtation.
“ Aunt Mary, please, will you tell us
a story
Thus spake my cousin Jennie, as aunt
Mary, Jennie and 1 sat before a cozy
fire in aunt Mary’s cozy little sitting
room.
“ Well, what shall I tell about ?”
“ Oh, some of your frolics, when you
were young.”
“ Then I will tell you about a flirtation
of mine. You know that when quiie
young, 1 was sent away to a boarding
school, a very fashionable one near town.
VV hile there, I imbibed a great many
school-girl ideas; one was, that there
0 0 I*l/4 Vn Wro in flirting. 1 iuft
school at seventeen, with a good educa
tion, rather a pretty face, and a warm
heart.
“It was a beautiful afternoon in Oc
tober that I returned home. You who
have never left home for any length of
time, cannot imagine how overjoyed I
was to see my parents and sisters once
more.
“ That evening 1 kept them busy tell
ing me all about my friends ; and, from
my sister Lizzie’s manner when speak
ing of a certain young man, I thought
that she was more interested in him
than in the generality of young men.—
My supposition was correct. When,
after retiring to my room, I was unpack
ing my trunk, Kate rushed in, very much
as you would have done, Jennie, and sit
ting down on the bed, said, in a very
comical manner—
“Molly, I have got something very
sad to tell you.”
“ I looked up in astonishment.”
“ Yes, just think of it, there has been
a hateful man here, and I believe he has
stolen Lizzie’s heart—the thief! Did
you see her blush to night ?
I wanted to laugh, but I was afraid
she would cry.
“ But he is rather a nice feilow, as
good as any of them, exc ”
“ Except who ?”
“ O, I’m not going to except any one
one—no, indeed ! Don’t believe them
if they say I am,” and blushing, she
kissed me, and ran out of the room. I
had a plenty to think about that night.
Both my sisters engaged, (for I knew by
Kate’s words and manners that she was
engaged,) perhaps be married before an
other year. What could I do without
them ? But I was too tired to worry
long about anything.
Till Christmas the town was exceed
ingly dull, as the dances and parties did
not commence till then. I w very dull,
because two young men had coolly ta
ken my sisters’ hearts, and, of course, a
greater part of their company. They
were married Christmas night.
The old home was so lonely after they
went away, that I mingled in all the
gaiety of the village. At the parties
which 1 attended, my beauty, ar.d rich
dress, more stylish than those worn by
the country damsels, attracted a great
deal of attention. 1 felt flattered, and
discouraged none of ihe flatterers. I
weut to parties and lectures with differ
ent gentlemen, if any young man, did
not pay me any attention, I was as fas
cinating as possible—played and sang
my best, danced as gracefully as 1 was
able, and talked about novels, both
French and English, until he was cap
tivated.
1 was not happy in all this excitement.
Olten, after returning from a ball, I have
longed to be again a child, spending
quiet evenings at home with my sisters
and mother. But that was impossible.
1 visited my sisters in their new homes
in the spring. They were surprised at
my appearance—more beautiful than
formerly, and there was ut times, a
rather wild, excited look about my
eyes which alarmed them. I enjoyed my
visit very much, and, when 1 retm ned, 1
fully intended to make home happy to
my parents, and to seek no more excite
ment. The temptation was so great that,
though at first 1 attended but a few par
ties, before the winter was out, I was the
gayest of the gay.
One night in January my mother at
tended a party with me. She was not
accustomed to the evening air, and the
next morning had a violent cold. I was
not worried at first, but as the winter
wore away, and it did not decrease, I
thought it best to have a doctor. He
said it was too late already, a-, one of
her lungs was nearly gone, and that she
could scarcely live through the summer.
And she did not. She died on the 25th
of August. My father was overwhelm
ed with grief. I wished to comfort him,
but he would see none but the servant,
who carried his food to his study.
Thus left to myself, I was lonely and
discontented when winter came. I ac
cepted all the invitations which were
sent to me, thinking to drown sorrow in
mirth and gaiety, but it was impossible.
One day in June I was lying in the
shade of a pine grove near home, read
ing a novel. Suddenly, I heard a man’s
voice exclaim, “ Here’s some gume;
come rover, seize it,sir.’ A small span
iel came running toward me barking fe
rociously. I jumped up, and turning;
-aw a young man leaning against a tree
near by, holding a gun in one hand and
using his hat asa fan with the other. He
was tall and handsome; his hair not
dark, but a golden hue; his eyes grey,
but so piercing, they seemed to look me
through and through. Nevertheless, he
looked good-natured as he whistled to
his dog, who seemed not inclined to make
friendly acquaintance with me.
I felt embarrassed, and commenced
running toward the house, and in my
haste forgot my book. I did not per
ceiveit, until, looking back, I heard the
voice saying, 4 Miss Mary, excuse me,
you dropped your book, here it is.’ The
voice was very pleasant, but it was also
firm. I said very humbly, ‘Thank you,
sir,’ and went on. I thought how differ
ent he is from young men here. lam
handsome—l must get acquainted with
him—l wonder if he will pay me much
attention ?—of course he will, all the
rest do. He called me Miss Mary. I
wonder how he knew my name 1 I look
ed round. He was walking leisurely,
only a few paces behind me, for uncon
sciously I had slackened my pace. Again
he spoke :
‘Miss Mary, don’t you remember me ?’
‘ No, sir.’ Strange I was so respect
ful.
‘ You remember my sister, Annie
Dana V
‘O, yes sir, now I remember. You
are her brother Will.’
He laughed ; I was angry, it was such
ail Indifferent, cartlotiu laugh. I thought
he was making fun of me, and com
menced a saucy remark, but looking up
into those grey eyes silenced me; I did
not finish. He walked home with me,
and I invited him in, but he refused,
promising to call some other time.
How strangely this man had affected
me. Never before had I seen any one
of my own age who had the slightest
control over me. I never could have
dared to disobey that man. In a few
days he called again. I could not flirt
with him—it was impossible. He com
manded, I obeyed. In a few weeks I
was really in love. In all my flirtations
my heart had never before been touched.
In the fall a cousin of m.ne made me
a visit of a day. I mentioned Mr. Da
na’s name.
‘ Oh, where is he from ?’
‘ B I replied.
* Then I am acquainted with him ; he
spent part of last summer at A ,
where I was, you know. He is engaged
to a Miss Tilsfon.’
‘ Engaged,’ 1 exclaimed, then mutter
ing something about my house keeping,
1 left hei. I rushed to my room, bolted
the door, and threw myself on the bed.
‘My punishment has come; it is more
than I can bear; how can I say the will
of God be done V My mind had under- j
gone a change within the last few weeks.
I loved, and knowing how miserable 1
would be if 1 was not loved, 1 pitied
those who had really loved me, if any
such there were. 1 had bitterly repent
ed of all my flirtations. Now 1 was
anxious they might not suffer as 1 did.
Presently the waiter knocked at the
door, saying, ‘ Dinner is ready.’ By a
gnat effort J calmed myself, and went
down to the dining room, where my
Cousin was awaiting me. She exclaim
ed,
4 Why, Mary, how pale you are!’
4 My head aches a little,’ I said. I
made the greatest exertions to talk calm
ly and lightly. They succeeded so well
that she soon forgot my paleness.
Just as the clock struck three the door
bell rang. How well I knew that ring !
As I started, my face turned crimson ;
my cousin did not notice me, as she was
standing by’ the window with her back
toward ine.
Betty opened the door. ‘ Mr. Dana,
Mis.”
“ Ask him in here,” 1 said, deter
mined not to see him alone. lie came
in, my cousin turned, looked at him; he
did not recognize her. She said,
4 Don’t you recognize me, Mr. Dana V
‘No!’
‘ That is strange; don’t you remem
ber visiting in A last summer V
He burst into a hearty laugh, and
she looked vexed.
4 You mean my twin brother James,
who is crazy about painting and a cer
tain young lady ; not Mary, although
he nearly lost his heart w’heu he met her
at school. He decided to deliver her up
to another young gentleman, and to fall
decidedly in love with a Miss Tilston.’
I uttered a cry of joy. My cousin,
seeing how matters stood, left the room.
Returning an hour or two alterward,she
was introduced to the future Mrs. Dana.
Jennie—'That ended beautiful, and 1
believe uncle Will is at the d*or now.
Yes ; aunt knows his step now as well
as his ring then, and she has gone to
meet him. How good and happy she
and uncle are.’
‘ Madam, you said you son was a lawyer

Chi Melt'd IleartM.
Why is it that, poets make CupiJ a
little archer, sing of his swiftness, and
rhyme hirn in with hearts and darts, and
painters pin pretty golden wings to his
shoulders that he may fly, but before
they finish him tie a bandage over his
eyes to hinder him ? After all this tram
meling, lovers so fear his weapons that
they stand trembling in the presence of
their fair ones, fainting from the sup
posed loss of blood which the fatal stab
has caused!
Now, we do not believe that Master
Cupid is any such fairy-like abstraction
as he is represented to be, but a real
bona fide matter-of-fact personage, one
whom the ladies would do well to treat
with common courtesy, at least. Such
intangible wreaths of orange-flower sen
timentality will do very well to trim the
ideal bridal cake, but seem quite out of
place around the brown-bread loaf life
of every-day life.
Once on a time our little fair-haired,
sly-footed hero pulled the bandage from
his eyes, turned geologist, and with bas
ket, hammer, and chisels, went forth
among the fair ones of his village to ex
amine their hearts, and if possible as
certain of what material they were
made.
Coming to an elegant mansion, he gave
the bell a pull, and was waited on by a
servant girl. “ Take my card to your
mistress,” and tell her I am come to ex
amine her heart!”
The servant girl, though somewhat
surprised, did as she was directed. Miss
Clara—for Clara was the name of her
mistress—was young, handsome, proud,
and an heiress; and was at that very
moment, by her sallies of wit, cutting
sarcasm, and mild evasive answers, tor
turing a pale young student who had the
presumption to sue for her hand.
She received the card with a haughty
air, and jocosely said, “ show him up
theu resumed her coquettish flirtations
with the student, alternately inspiring
hope and awakening fear ! So absorbed
was she in this heart-blighting business,
and so lightly fell the footsteps of the
geologist along the carpeted halls that
he entered unperceived, and was soon
chiseling away at her heart.
It took but a few’ strokes of his ham
mer to enable him to decide upon its
quality. “ Slate stone,” said he, “ and
rather scaly, also. Ah ! this heart will
never do for me—it is susceptible of
only a light impression, and that is soon
effaced; but it wounds never to heal. I
will write upon it, 4 Know thyself,’ but
1 suppose the injunction will soon be for
gotten.”
So the geologist departed, leaving the
proud beauty to reap the reward of her
flirtation.
He next came to a low mean dw'elling t
in the rear of a great thoroughfare;
seated near the only window in the room,
was a pale, thin damsel, clad in a neat
but humble attire. The shades of sad
ness fell darkly over her young brow,
and often a deep sigh would escape her
lips. Her fingers were ‘busily plying
the needle, as the thread was drawn
forth by her weary hand, seemed to
strike a telegraphic wire which recorded
in Heaven, 44 Oppression of the poor.”
The geologist struck one rap with hia
hammer on her heart.; ’twas all’unheed
ed, no response was there, no elaaticity.
He tried to chisel—’twas cold, hard and
heavy, and the print of both hammer
and chisel was left. Upon a closer cx
emination he discovered that it was cov
ered all over with indentations of vari
ous depths and figures. 44 Poor girl!”
said he to himself, 44 your heart, whatev
er it may be, is encased in lead; no
wonder it looks hard, and cold, and dull,
for such has been your lot in life that
this leaden shield was necessary to keep
your heart from destruction ; but if the
rays of friendship could shine upon it,
and the fires of love warm it, this leaden
case would melt, and the gem within
glow with a silver brightness. But I
cannot wait to bring about this change ;
I must find me a heart today, for 1 may
lose all my sober judgment to-morrow,
and be nothing but a winged Cupid
again.” So he wrote on it with a sharp
style, 44 Blessed are they who mourn
now, for they shall be comforted,” and
went his way.
He had not proceeded far before he
perceived a group of young ladies stand-

ing near one of the street crossings',
eagerly engaged in conversation. A
beautiful brunette fixed his attention—
she was richly dressed and sparkling
with jewels.
“ 1 must have a tap at your heart,”
said he, for one would suppose by the
setting that, the gem wjis of rare value.”
So he glided u|, i:!.perceiv*-d, and
gave it a i.q A ..i.r ugh a •*. u r, d

write on it, ‘ Ttukiiiig ey nibaT—tit heart
for a belle!”
He next tried his hammer upon th
heart of a damsel who stood beside the
brunette. She was very fair, with a
cold leaden eye and passive rnien. At
the first stroke of his chisel pieces flew
off into his face. *■ This,” ••aid he, “is
nothing bul . h:lk ; one might make a
rough sketch with it, but could never
produce a beautiful picture. *Tis quite
too earthly for me.’ So he wrote ‘ Fic
kleness’ upon it, and turned his attention
to a third figure in the group. She was
a maid, of thirty years, tall, trim and
neat, but there was a sort of preciseness
and band-box air about her which at first
quite intimidated him.
At length he summoned resolution to
give her heart a rap, and soon learned
that action was equal to re-action, for
his hammer was repulsed with a violence
proportionately to the foroe of the blow.
* Ah me, he exclaimed, ‘a marble heart
smooth and beautiful’ but cold! Fit
monument for buried hopes! I must
have something warmer.* The geologist
now became quite discouraged, and was
about to return home and give over the
search, when the sound of music arrested
his attention ; it proceeded from the op
posite side of the street. He listened,
and the sound grew more and more se
raphic, and he imagined the performer
must be angelic.
‘ How fortunate,’ said he, * that 1 did
not retrace my steps, for here is, doubt
less, just the heart for me ; at any rate,
1 must try my chisel and hammer upon
it.’ He crossed the street, and entering
unperceived was for a moment entranced
with the superior loveliness of his charm
er.
He now took his hammer and chisel
and began upon her heart, but not the
least impression could be made upon it.
There it was, unmoved, in all its brillian
cy 4 This must be a diamond heart,”
said he, 4 and I will possess it. I will
cut tny own image upon it. and it shall
be mine forever.’ So he hammered and
chiseled away, and his charmer sang on.
The strokes grew harder and harder; —
his chisel became dull; the face of his
hammer was broken ; his arm was tired
and not even a faint out-line of his own
image appeared. 4 lt will be labor lost,
after all,’ said he. 4 This heart, though
it may be a diamond one, can never be
assimilated with mine, and if I did pos
sess it, 1 fear it would not make me hap
py. It seerm to be a h*-art more for orna
ment than use. 1 must have both quali
ties in one.’ He would have written up
on it, 4 Mfie, mene. ieirel, vpharsin but
the temper of his steel was too hr<ltie.
He now resolved to search no further
but in the retirement of his ihamber to
reflect calmly and dispassionately oo the
subject, till he could come to some de
finite conclusion respecting the kind of
heart be most needed, and oould the roost
devotedly love. While he was walking
along in this contemplative mood, he
came to a neat farm bouse, which wore
such an air of contentment, through all
its surroundings, that he determined to
go in and rest himself. Giving a gentle
tap at the door, it was opened by an art
less damsel, who gave him a cordial wel
come, and peroeiving that he was weary,
brought him a cup of cold water. Her
cheek was radiant with the hue of health
and through her eyes shone out the peace
and light of the soul; her face was brim,
ful of the 4 milk of human kindness.*
The thought soon suggested itself to
our treveller that he would try the heart
of this simple girl, so he rapped light
ly upon it. The response was full and
clear. 4 This is good metal,’ said he, 4 1
know it by the ring;’ so he continued
to hammer it In a short time it grew
warm.
4 Ah,’ said he, 4 there is life here.’—
Soon sparks were elicited. ‘These is an
active, undying principle here!’
He now tried the chisel upon it; the
strokes were bold and the impression
full—no roughness, no bitterness —he
could cut it whore he pleased, write his
own thoughts there; the impress was
permanent, yet the heart was warm,
ductile, hut Jinn. 4 1 am a happy man
at last,’ said he ; 4 this heart is iron. 1
will endure all suffering, brave all dan
ger, and fit myself to any emergency;
and though it is not brilliant like the
diamond, or fair to took upon like the
marble, ’tis susoeptiWe of a Cur higher
