There are some hearts that, like the ovlng vine,
Cling to unkindly rock- a>.d ruined towers,
Sp rits that suffer and do not repine—
Patk-Dt and sweet as lowly-trodden flowers
That from the passer's heel arise.
And give bck odorous breath instead ofeighs.
But there are other hearts that will not feci
The lowly love that haunts their eves aid ears;
That wound fond faith with anger wome than steel
And outof piU’sepringd;aw idle tears.

Why should the heavy foot of sorrow press

Gentleness, doth her tyrants to reprove?
Though virtue wrep forever and lam, nt.
Will tine hard heart turn to her and relent ?
Why shpuld the rent be broken that will bend.

and ns I thought of her who once smoothed

God help the motherless ! ’Tis a sad and
weary life to live; and, oh ye who weep with

dead 1 No, not one tear for the dead, though
the form we loved is laid in its last bed ; al
though the eyes that once beamed ujton us
but smiles of love are closed forever, and the
pale lips are dust. No tear for the dead, for
they live again. But the living—thty who
wander over the broad earth, desolate and

“ I’ve no mother!”
Ah ! little Georgi e , hut yo u hare amother,

keep your heart pure, little one, and your

her, though she can never return to thee!
The Sen Ipi or’* First Hodel.
We would bid the reader come to a beau
tiful scene in a land abounding with beau
ties—in Italy. It is a deep valley, surround
ed on every side covered with luxuriant
vines. Higher up, amongst distant moun
tains that form the back-ground of the pic
ture, the dark pine rises gracefully amongst
the rugged peaks and jutting points of recks
scattered about in the most fantastic manner.
Toward the upper end of this valley the pre
cipice is narrow, until it becomes a deep ra
vine. Across this chasm, in the rudest man
ner, from rock to rock, is thrown a light
wooden bridge, beneath which raves inces
santly a brawling stream that leaps madly
from stone to stone into a boiling abyss be
low—the depth of which is hidden by its
perpetual vapor and spray.
Near the spot where the wooden bridge
crosses the ravine, stood a little chalet of
Tyrol—for the scene is in the north of Italy,
and possesses as much the wild features of
the north as the luxuriance of the south.—
The cottage had an overhanging roof and
balcony, and the door-way was ornamented
with quaint old carvings. The casement
was diamond-paned, and a number of flow
ers crept around it lovingly, as if in gentle
contest with the sunlight, as to which of
them should oftenest peep at the fairest of
its inmates, the peerless Guilia; but Guilia
is from home. At the head of the valley
the stream is kept back by a circular bed of
rock, forming a kind of basin, and thither
went Guilia frequently for water, which was
here as bright as crystal. But Guilia has
been longer than usual at the stream to-day.
He mother wonders at it and fears some ac
cident has befallen her. Her fears are at
length relieved, for Guilia comes.
“ Well, well, child,” said the dame, “you
have been long enough to-day. Was Mat
tia, the courier, there?—or probably the
young goldsmith detained thee.”
“ No goldsmith detained me,” said Guilia,
uneasily.
“Did you speak with no one, child?”
Guilia hung down her head and blushed
deeply.
“Guilia,” said her mother, “ I must see
for myself who it is that engages you so
much. I fear some scapegrace youth, who
will only bring you into trouble. You should
not treat the goldsmith with disdain, girl;
he is rich and handsome, and truly I cannot
think it is possible for a maiden to be loved
more than he loves you; yet how distant and
cold you have lately appeared towards him.”
“ I do not treat him with disdain, mother;
on the contrary, I have the utmost esteem
for him.”
Still, the worty dame was not satisfied.
Guilia had lately been silent and reserved—
had often blushed without apparent cause
on being suddenly interrupted in her reve
ries—had more than once been seen to shed
tears on returning from the fountain. All
this had perplexed the mother, who, as is
usual with mothers, could see farther than
her daughter was quite aware of, and she
said to herself, “I will find out this myself
when Guilia least expects it.”
Not long after an opportunity occurred.
Guilia went to the stream, and her mother
quietly followed, coming upon her unper
ceived at the head of the valley. A narrow
pathway led down to the stream, between
rocks that rose up on either side as steep as
a wall. Guilia was leaning in a vacant man
ner against one of these ridges, while beside
her stood a young man intently gazing upon
the lovely girl, and alternately gazing down
at a bust he had placed on a juttrag point
of rock.
There was no mistaking the original of
this bust The beautiful forehead, the ex
quisite shaped nose, mouth and chin, the
perfect contour of the features generally, and
the easy manner in which the head rose as
it were, from the shoulders of the figure,
told too plainly enough that Guilia was here
represented. The young girl was glancing
at her second self almost in wonder, while
the gratified scultor could not entirely keep
down a little self-complacency. The youth
ful pair seemed so lost to everything around
them that Gailia’s mother crept near enough
to hear every word they uttered.
“ You see the admiration with which I
gaze upon this figure ?” said the sculptor.
“Certainly,” replied Guilia, “ nor can I
wonder at the pleasure the labor gives you,
when the chisel follows so readily the im
pulse of its master.”
“ The mere labor in which I have been
engaged is not unpleasing,” said the sculptor,
“ when the subject resembles the dream of
the imagination; but there is a gratification
here that art alone could never have given
me.”
Guilia was evidently moved, but did not
reply.
“May I not tel! you in plainer terms?”
the sculptor continued.
“NoI no, indeed,” said Gutiia.
“ Why not, maiden ?” What wrong can
it be to express innocent feeling, or,” said lie,
passionately, “to whisper a first affection ?'*
“ Say no more, Signor, I beseech thee,”
said Guilia. “My hand is already promised.
My parents are poor, and look forward t<>
my advancement in life by marriage. My
future husband is both wealthy and amiable,
and bestows on me far greater than I de
serve.”
“ Ob, why this sacrifice ? Tho day may
come—nay, it must come —when my name
will resound beyond this quiet valley, when
nobles and princes will m e by the
hand, and wealth flow in upon me in abun
dance. A few short years, sweet Guilia, and
your parents mieht be blessed with a
wealtthier son-in-law than they dream of
now.
“It cannot be,” said Guilia. “ Indeed, I
wonder what spell your words have had to
hinder me thus much in the paths of duty.”
“Os duty, Guilia! Then you do not love
this man ?”
“ I respect, esteem him, and shall in time,
no doubt, love him, as he is worthy of being
loved. Had I been free to choose, or had I
known you earlier, I will not say my heart
had not been yours. Farewell, we must not
meet again ; may your dreams of fame be
realized.”
It was in vain the sculptor would have ar
gued with her. The maiden was gone.
He stopped, lifted the bust on which 90
much labor had been spent, and covered it
with kisses mingled with tears, then strode
mournfully through the valley to the cottage
of the shepherd.
The shepherd was ignorant of even his
tenant’s name. The sculptor, when taking
up his residence there, had given as a reason
for living in such a remote spot the vicinity
of a marble quarry, and consequent cheap
ness of the material of his art It was the
shepherd who had first told him of the ex
traordinary beauty of Guilia. Thus the sculp
tor, attracted at first by art, had fallen a vic
tim to the greater seductions of nature.
Ruturning to the cottage, his care was to
deposit the bust in a place of safety, in the
little room where he slept. As he retired to
rest the light fell upon the lovely features,
and it seemed to him as a guardian angel
who would watch over his slumbers.
“Yes, sweet saint!” he murmured, “all
my hopes of fame, all ray artistic aspirations,
are forevermore mingled with thy image.”
Guilia’s mother had gone away as quietly
as she came. Satisfied with her daughter’s
firmness, she had foreborne to interrupt the
scene we have described, but she said to
herself, “ Guilia must no longer meet this
young dreamer; though ’twas beautiful, in
deed, and the young man seems to have ex
traordinary talent. But I know the world,’’
thought the old lady ; “let him struggle, let
him hope, let him labor —he will not be the
first man of genious who has lived in pover
ty and died in obscurity.”
So time passed on, and the sculptor left
the valley. The time also drew near for the
gold-mith to claim his bride. Guilia thought
of the sculptor, and was not quite so cheer
ful or gay as he could have wished; but he
loved her truly, and doubted not that in time
his affection would be returned with equal
warmth.
******
It is a few years later.
Signor Barani, a wealthy Italian, has
brought his beautiful wife on a pleasure tour.
They have come to reside some time in Pa
ris. There was at this time an exhibition of
works of art in Paris, and Barani, who in
herited the natural feeling of his country
men for art, went to view it. They had pa
raded about the exhibition-rooms for some
time, when they were met by a friend who
strongly advised them to see a pice of sculp
ture which was pronounced by all to be a
master-piece.
“ One figure, indeed,” said their friend, “is
not to be surpassed for loveliness; and,
strangely enough,” he added, “it strongly
resembles Madame Barani.”
They went to see this extraordinary work
of art, and Madame Barani turned towards
the object of their friend's admiration. A
host of recollections floated over her mind in
a moment. The picturesque valley, the wood
en bridge, the little cottage, the fountain, the
enthusiastic young sculptor—it was the same
form and featurt s that had been carved by
the unknown sculptor—she herself had been
his model!

Hymn from the German,
We find in the Lutheran Standard the following fragment
of a hymn by Lange, translated from the German:
Our beloved have dejiarted.
While *f tarry br< kt-n hearted;
In th dreary empty house.
They have ended life s brief story,
They have reached the home of glory,
Over (lea li victorious.
Hush, that sorbing, weep more lightly,
On we travel, da ly, nightly.
To the rest that they have lound.
Are we not upon the river,
Sailing fat to meet forever
On more holy happy ground ?
On we ha-te, to home invited. *
There with tilends to he united
In a surer baud than here:
MeetlLg s on—a’ and meet forever!
Glorious ln,pe! forsake u* never.
For thy gliinuierng light is dear.
Ah 1 the wav is shiniDgclearer.
As we V limey ever nearer
To the home;
Comrades who av ait o iT landing, ,
FTieuds! who r and the tl,p ne are standing.
We salute you, and we come !

WO. 30.
A Yankee in tbe Smith Family.
Well, I put up with a first rate, good na
tured fellow that I met at a billiard table. I
went in and was introduced to his wife, a fine
fat woman, looking as though she lived on
her face so full of fun. After
awhile, after we'd talked about my girl, and
about the garden, and about the weather, iu
come three or four children, laffin’ and skip
pin?, as merry as crickets There was no
candle lit, but I could see they were fin
looking fellows, and I started for my saddle
bags, in which I had put a lot of sugar can
dy for the children as I went along.
“ Come here >” l “you little rogue ;
come here and tell me what your name is.”
The oldest came to me and says: “My
name is Peter Smith.’’
“ And what’s your name, sir?”
“ Bob Smith.”
The next said his name was Bill Smith,
and the fourth said his name was Tommy
Smith. I gave ’em sugar candy, and old Mrs.
Smith was so tickled she laughed all the time.
Mr. Smith looked on, but did’nt say much.
“Why,’’ says TANARUS, “ Mrs. Smith, I would not
take a good deal for them four boys, if I had
’em —they are so beautiful and sprightly.”
“ No,’’ said she, laffin’, “ I set a good deal
on ’em but we spoil ’em too much.”
“No, no.” says TANARUS, “they’re well behaved
children, and hy gracious,” says I, pretending
to be startled by a striking resemblance be
tween tbe boys and the father, and I looked
at Mr. Smith, “I never did see anything
equal it,” say TANARUS, “your own eyes, mouth, fore
head, and perfect picture of hair, sir,” tap
ping the oldest on the pate.
I thought Mrs. Smith would have died
laffin’ at that, her arms fell down by her side,
and she shook the whole house laffin’.
“ Do you think so, Col. Jones?” said she,
looking towards Mr. Smith, and I thought
she’d go off in a fit.
“ Yes,” says I, “ I do really.”
“ Haw, haw, haw,” says Mr. Smith, kind
o’ half laffin’* “ you are too hard on me now
with your jokes.”
“ I ain’t a jokin’ at all,” says I, “ they are
handsome children and do look wonderfully
like you.”
J ust then a gal brought a light in, and M
be darn’d if the little brats didn’t turn out to
be niggers, every one of ’em! and their beads
was curly all over 1 Mr. and Mrs. Smith
never had any children, and they sort o’
petted them niggers as playthings. I never
felt so streaked as I did when I found out
how things stood. If I hadn’t kissed the
nasty things I could a got over it ; but kiss
ing ’em showed I was in airaest.
Waltzing Described.
The following daguerreotype we find
in the St. Louis Advocate :
“ Look ! look! ’ said half a dozen *
lady voices one pretty night, as we sat
leaning against the outside of the ball
room. We did 100k —alas! for our
poor modesty, we ought not to have
done so. ‘lf my children were among
them, I'd whip them well for it. Yes, if
they were full grown, I’d give them the
hickory.’ So said the wife of one of our
princes, as she turned away, in utter dis
gust. Let me describe a little—if the
public may look, certainly it may read,
though it run. A group of splendid ones
is on the floor, and lovingly mated. The
gents encircle their partners’ waists with
one arm. The ladies and gents stand
closely face to face. The gents are very
erect, and lean a little back. The ladies
lean a little forward. (Music.) Now,
all wheel and whirl, circle and curl.—
Feet and heels of gents go rip-rap, rip
rap, rip. Ladies’ feet go tippity-tip,
tippity-tip, tip. Then all go rippity,
clippity, slippity, tippity, bippity, skip
pity, hoppity, jumpity, bvmpity, thump.
Ladies fly off by centrifugal momentum.
Gents pull ladies hard and close. They
reel, slide, sling, look tender, look silly,
look dizzy. Feet fly, tresses fly, hoops
fly, dresses fly, all fly. It looks tuggity,
huggity, pullity, squeezity, pressity, rub
bity, rip. The men look like a cross
between steelyards and ‘ limber jacks,’
beetles and jointed X’es. The maidens
tuck down th ir chins very low, or raise
them exceedingly high. Some smile,
some grin, some giggle, some frown,
some pout, some sneer > and all sweat
freely. The ladies’ faces are brought
against those of the men, or into their
bosume, breast against breast, nose
agninst nose, and toes against toes. —
Now they go again, making a sound like
Georgey-porgey, derey-peery, ridey-pi
dey, coachy poachy. ‘ This dance is not
much, but the extras are glorious.’ If
men were women, there would be no
such dancing. But they are only men,
and so the thing goes on by woman's
love of it. A secular writer says:
‘There is no established standard of
propriety about this matter. If I were
a lady, I might object to these dances ;
but being a man, I do not. We cer
tainly ought to be satisfied, if they
are.’ ”
Information has reached Washington in such
from as to place the fact beyond question that
a large number of Mexicans, residing in Sonora,
have entered into a league to revolutionize that
State with a view to its annexation to the Uni
ted States.
The deaths o* unknown persons id New York
have averaged five hundred annuallv or three
