Alas, my hopes, a dawning bright, Were all at once made dim; She saw a chap, I don’t know where, And fell in love with him. Next time I went—(now how it was I don’t pretend to say)— But when my chair moved up to hers, Why, hers would move away Before, I always got a kiss, (I own with some small fuss,) But now, forsooth, for love nor fun, ’Twas non-comc-at-a-itus. Well there we sat—and when we spoke, Our conversation dwelt On everything beneath the sun, Except what most we felt. Enjoying this delightful mood, AVho then should just step in, But he of all the world whom 1 Had rather see than him. And he could set down by her side ; And she could—all the while He pressed her hand within his own— Upon him sweetly smile; And she could pluck a rose for him, So fresh and bright, and red, And gave me one, which hours before Was shrunk, and pale, and dead. i And she could freely, gladly sing The songs he did request; The ones I asked, were just the ones She always did detest. I rose to leave—“She’d be glad To have me longer stay !’’ Xo doubt of it 1 Xo doubt they wept To see me go away. I sat me down—I thought profound, This maxim wise I drew: ’Tis easier far to like a-girl, Than make a girl like you. But, after all, I don't believe My heart will break with woe; If she’s a mind to love that chap, Why, bless her, let her go. iTjjr Idimj-tfrHrr. .... _ I The Jailor’s Mother and the (Tilprit. J1Y MISS C. W. BARBER, • • Angels are bright still, tho’ the brightest fell.” Sll A KS PL ARE. j We have somewhere read of a t-pecies of; the cactus, from the bark of which there ex udes a poisonous juice, but at the heart of] which there Hows a sweet, clear current, If; this is truth and not fable, does it not teach a beautiful lesson, to-wit; that there is good often times flowing unperccived, or sleeping undeveloped, at the core of what seems en- ! tirely evil: Do not pass that drunkard by with a cold cynical sneer. There may be truth, gencr- ! osity, nobleness in his heart, and it may be I in your power to develop it. He is not en tirely a fiend, bad as he may be—there is a hidden gem somewhere in his being—a string j that will yet yield sweet music, if it is skil- j fully touched. We were once deeply affcctrd by a story j related to us by a jailor. There was a young man committed to his care, whose life for the ] last few years had been nothing but a tissue | of the darkest crimes. He seemed entirely hardened in his career of gtiilt—quite reck less of what might transpire against or a- round him. Every breath that came through his lips was loaded with an oath. Man- spurned and God-forsaken he seemed, but there was nevertheless one who felt for him deeply. This was the jailor’s mother—an old woman seventy years old. She had her self. somewhere in the world, a wild and roving son, and she said mournfully, << what if this was my Billy 1 How my heart would yearn over him 1” fcsiic took the . ey, and with trembling steps crossed the threshold of the stone pris on in which the culprit was confined. He sat with his face bowed upon his hands, and when he raised it at the sound of her weak steps tottering towards him, there was a fiendish gleam in his bloodshot eyes. He saw a sight entirely unexpected—entirely ttnlike any that had before stolen upon his dreamy solitude. An old woman bowed with grief and years, over whose brow the grey hair had been smoothly combed back under the thick white cap, whose trembling, wrink led hand grasped a stick for support, and whose faded eyes gleamed with the sympa thy and compassion of an angelic being.— He had expected to see a -stern-browed offi cer of justice, a rough voiced, rough heart ed man, perhaps, coming tn through idle cu riosity to gaze upon him. But no, it was no body but an old woman, and he sat still, wondering what the feeble old creature had come there for. .* My son,” she said, stepping before him, while tears stole down her withered cheeks, « my son, you are very bad off—can I do any thing for you ?” .. You aid me he said scornfully, sur veying her from head to foot << X' I want no aid—no blubbering—no crying—no sym- 1 pathy—Go back. What have you come here ' for ?. 1 have somewhere,” said she, a boy— ' my Billy—a good boy lie was too, when he was young—gentle as a lamb, and kind t• ■ | me, but he fell in with wicked companions, > and when 1 heard from h:m last he was in a had way—a very had way indeed, and may be now, for what 1 know, even worse off than you are. My poor Billy!—yon being here made me think of him, and 1 couldn’t help coming to see you, and offering to do any thing for you that 1 can,” and the old wo man sunk down and covered her face with her hands. A chord in ihe culprit's heart was touch ed. Ho could not, hardened as he was, bear the right of the old woman’s tears—bear the sight of the old grey mother’s hitter anguish over her prodigal. It brought back to re- nieiubraViee the home Of his childhood—the innocent, frolicsome hours of his earlier youth, the anxious, ’ovifig face of her who had stooped to kiss his baby brow—to stroke with soft hand his sunny hair, and call him ! her brave-hearted beautiful h. y. He re membered that that mother was -till living, and, for aught he knew, weeping at that very moment over his career. He had for gotten her in the baehamilian revel—her image never came up before his mind’s eye in the heat and dust am! temptation of the world, hut li >w he heard the soft pleading tones of her voice, and became, in his grief, a child again. He could not rudely repulse ] the old woman who had stolen ill her weak ness and imbecility to bis cell, and lie sat : humbly before her as a little child. She' had unwittingly broke the proud spirit be fore her, and found a drop of sweetness at the heart. For days she went regularly to visit him in his c-.-lI. She read the Bible to him—she : made him promise that- from that hour his life should be a holier one. He kept Ids vow. After serving in the penitentiary with an humble and docile spirit until he Lad . al - isfied violated Justice, h came out, and. in the wilds of the far west, livcs’a respecta ble citizen. 0, Pity 1 Kir.dre-- 1 Love!— These are needed every where—these are; open sesames, at whose magic utterance t-lic portals of'the soul fiv open ard rcfveal the good—tiic honey drop at the centre.—Altttl- ison Family Visitor. resting calmly there, than on thy friends, to whom all thy sufferings now come back in one vivid pang—than on thy sisters, who would now share with thee thy deep-slum bering night, as before they hared each sleepless one—than on thy fund children, who, blinded by their tears, see naught but the cold grave between thy loving heart and theirs. My eyes grew dim and heavy, and the clouds lowered darkly aioiin I, enshrouding in gloom the mourners and their woe. All became cloud, as in human life. Suddenly the clouds trembled, and rays of light from a sun unknown t j 1 mortals, broke through and parted them wide asunder. The blue sky opened out in loveliness, and with warm zephyrs brought fo-th flowers from the cold, damp ground. Two lilies from the grave grew high above the rest, and the spring angels fanned them with their breath until their petals fluttered upwards into the air, and became the wings of two angels that flew down from heaven. The angels hover ed nearer over the grave from which flowers were springing up in profusion ; when lo 1 the grave opened and the mother arose.— The angels were her two children, and lay upon her breast—two angels whom death had purified from mortal life. <. W elcome, welcome,” said they, .. to our land of rest. ' dear, afflicted mother—rest now, and icncw thy weary life. Death is the solace of all earthly w» unds, the awaking to higher life.

A Hiram. FROM THE GERMAN OF JUAN FA . !. It is a current belief of the common | - pte in Germany, that whoever stands on 1 New Year's night at a erossway, or in a bu rying ground, /Gottesacker—l’iel 1 of God,) and draws a circle around him, with proper ceremonies, will see the spirits of the com- • ingvear float in shadowy forms around him. 1 The graves of the people have usually a wooden cross erected above them. I dreamed that I stood in the Field of] God” on Xew Year's night, at the hour when Faith is want to look forth within her mag- j ic circle, to see the shadowy forms puss l>y of those who are to enter the spirit land! within the coming year. As I looked, the future was laid before me, and I saw the open graves which the future year had pre- , pared as the resting places for those whom its days were to take away with them. The dark winter days first passed along in a solemn train, and each one lowered its silent dead into a cold grave, to vanish for- ! ever from this tumultuous, sultry life. But I knew not the departed ones. Then came the bright spring days, bear ing with them still heavier burdens, with which they filled the open graves. A fath er, a sister, or a friend,was dropped and van ished from mortal sight. Sometimes a child's coffin, like a little flower cup enclosing a delicate, withered flower, glided down from two reluctant arms. My heart was touch ed with sadness—a tender sorrow—softened ] as I thought, how much better for you, lit tle children, to be thus taken away by the cold hand of death. Sink down, with joy,; to your resting place, now, when it is to you the tenderest bed of flowers; for, see, the cross under which you would have suf- j fered greatly here, now stands above your grave, the emblem of your joy and triumph there. Those, again, who were laid to rest by the mild springe' -.vs, amid flowers and the sound of bells, were all strangers to me. A dark-veiled, silent morning then ap peared, bearing a shrouded human form in a coffin. A train of white robc-l motirfiers, with trembling and uncertain steps, follow ed silent and sorrowful. As they drew near the grave, the clouds lowerert-d gloomily a- round. Then the coffin was opened, and oh how deep the anstuish to at broke forth from ! every heart! My own feelings now gave! way in sympathy with the afflicted on .-s, for I knew them and the departed one whom they followed hither. It was a tender moth er, who now followed two children into the silent land, and the mourners were her daughters. Thou pale, cold form, whose j eyes are now forever closed, no more to be wet with tears—thou who hast suffered much —why must thou too go down thus torn and wasted to the earth ' Thy tender flowerets stripped rudely off by death before he snatch ed thee away at last. Alas, on every fea ture pain has impressed the last lineaments, and thy hand chilled by the ice-cold grasp . of death, which tore thee, wounded, away: But what do I say ? Thou art more happy now than they who grieve around thy de- . erte I firm I would rather he,; upon thee The Way to Fortum*. OB, IT IS BETTER TO WORK TIIAX TO 1 BEG. Let tin poor boy after reading the following ; interesting fact, ever despair of making u ] respectable living. A gentleman was otice walking down one • if the streets of P , when a beggar loudly craved for a o few coppers for a night's lodging.” The gentleman loked earn-1 estly at the poor man, and inquired, a Why- do-you not work? you should be ashamed of! begging.” “ Oh ! sir, 1 do not know where to get em ployment.” * Nonsense ! replied the gentleman. 4. you can work if you will. Now listen to me.— 1 was once a beggar like you. A gentleman gave me a crown piece, and said to me, ! - Work and don’t beg; God help those who help themselves.’ I immediately left B , end got out of the way of my old compan ions 1 remembered the advice given me by my mother before she died, and I began to j pray to God to keep' me from sin, and to give me Ids help, day by day. 1 went round to the houses in the country places, and with part ol my five shilling bouqlit old rags.— These 1 took to the paper mills, and sold them at a profit. I was always willing to give a fair price for the things l bought, auT did not try to sell them for more than I be- • lieVed they were worth. I determined to be honest, and God prospered me. Mv pur chases and profits became larger, and now I have got more than ten thousand crown piecs that I can call my own. One great tiling that lias contributed to my success is ' this : 1 have kept ft*.111 drink and tobacco.” As the gentleman’spoke, he took out his purse, and drew from it a five sinking piece, and handing it to the astonished beggar, lie said, 11 Now you have the same chance 01 getting on in the world as I had. Go and ] work, and never let me see you begging a- gain. If I do, I will hand you over to the police.” Years passed away. The gentleman had forgotten the circumstance, until one day,; when traveling through P , he entered ; a respectable looking bookseller's shop, in order to purchase some books that he want ed. He had nol been many minutes in conver sation with the bookseller, before the latter looked into tiie face of his customer, and in quired, .4 Sir, arc you not the gentleman who a few years ago, gave a five shilling piece to a poor beggar at tlie end of this . street ? 44 Yes, I rc-member ii well.” 4. Then, sir, this house, this well stocked shop, is the fruit of that five shilling piece.’' Tears of gratitude trickled down his cheeks, ] as he introduced the gentleman to his happy wife and children. He was regarded as their benefactor. When gathered round the table ! to partake of tea, the bookseller, recounted ills history from the above eventful day. It was very similar to that of the welcome vis itor. By industry, honesty, and dependence upon God's help, he had risen, step by step, from buying rags, to selling papers and tracts in the streets, then to keeping an old bookshop, and ultimately, to be owner of; one of the best circulating libraries in the . place. Before the happy party separated, tlie large old family Bible was brought, out, ot which a psalm ol thanksgiving it as read, and then all bent round the family altar. Words could not express the feelings of those who formed the group. For some moments, silence, intermingled with subdued sobs, e_ vir.ced the gratitude to the Almighty Iff - renter cf all event: which t:-.s a. sending to heaven 1 Lift nf :::t Editor.

Godfrey, the chclf, took five papers, and could not road a word. Our paper was called the 4. Pern Forester,” and being print ed in the woods, that title was appropriate. The town of Peru had a number of magni ficent names for its streets, such as Pearl, Broadway, &e.. which street exhibited the animating and bustling spectacle of stumps and trees as high as a man's Lead. The stirring events which transpired in that city imperiously demanded a couple of chroni clers, & Pike and I were at hand to discharge this important function.

The fame of this family spread through the country, and at last reached the ears of a Georgian, who for a long time had held undisputed pass -ssion of the ■ .dobruted p.-.n- I knife.
