Byron’s Furc TUco Well.
Yet, farewell! farewell forever’;
Tliou thyself bant fixed thy doom,
Coda hope’s sweetest blossoms wither,
Never more for uic to blooin.
"Unforgiving” thou bast called ino,
Dldht thou ever say “forgive V
For the wretch whore wiU« enthrall'd thee
Thou didst seem alone to live.
Short the span which time hath given,
To complete thy love's decay ;
Ity unhallowed passions driven,
Boon thy heart was taught to stray.
Lived for me that tecltng tender,
Which so well thy rente can show ;
Front my arm* why didst thou wander,
My endearments why forego?
Wrapt in dreams ot Joy abiding.
On thy breast my head hath lain,
In Uiy love and truth confiding,
Jllh* I cannot know again.
When thy heart by me "glanced over,”
First displayed the guilty stain,
Would I hose eyes had dosed forever,
Ne'er to weep thy crimes again.
But by Heaven's recording spirit,
May that wish forgotten bo,
Idle, though Dow n load I'd bear It,
For the bubo I've borne for thee.
To whose lovely features (let me
All my weakness here coiiCbm,
While the struggling tears pc mit me),
All her father's 1 cau trace.
Ills, whose Iramage never leaves me,
Whose remembrance yet, I prise,
Who this bitterest feeling gives me,
Still 1 love where I despise.
With regret and sorrow rather.
When our child's first ncccnti flow,
I shall tench her to say ‘‘Father,*’
But his guilt she ue'er shall know.
Whilst to-morrow and to-morrow,
Wake to me a widowed bed,
In another’s arms n^sorrow
Will thou ltd ? no tear wilt shed ?
For the world's applause, I sought not,
When I tore myself from thee.
Of its praise or blame I thought not—
What's its praise or blame to me ?
He in whom my soul delighted,
From hb heart my image drove,
With contempt my truth requlttcd,
And preferred—a wanton's love.
Thou art proud, and mark me, Byron,
I'.e a soul proud as tbiue own,
Soft to love, but bird at Iron,
W ben di'pita on me is throw n.
But, farewell! I'll not upbraid thee,
Never, never, w ish thee ill,
Wretched though thy crimes have made me,
If thou can’t -be happy still.

My G od, Is any hour so sweet,
From hluib of morn to evening star,
As that w hich calls me to Thy feel—
The hour of prayer ?
Blest b that tranquil hour of inorn,
And^lest that solemn hour of eve,
Whoa ou the wings of prayer upborne,
The world 1 leave.
For then a day-spring shines on me,
Brighter than morn's ethereal glow ;
And richer dews descend from Thee,
Thau earth can know.
For then tny strength, by Thee renewed,
Then are my siiis by Thee forgiven,
Then dust thou cheer my solitude
With hope of heaven.
No words can tell what sweet relief
There for my every want I find ;
What strength for warfare, lialiu for grief,
What peace of mind.
Hmhed Is each doubt, gone every fear ;
My spirit seems in llcnvcn to stay,
And e'en the penitential tear
Is wiped aw ay.
Lord, till I reach yon blissful shore,
No privilege so dear shall be,
As thus my inmost soul to pour
In prayer to Thee.

From Godey's Lady'* Book.]
“Well I don’t think anybody enn ever
dt ecivo mo again on that day. Unco in
a lifetime is enough for any feasible per
son to bo tricked on the first day of
April." And pretty Mabel Hughes look
ed defiance of all jokes, tossing back her
sunny cut Is with u little whito hand, and
dashing a merry, snucy look at the com
pany around her.
There was qnito a group of young
folks, assembled to danco thu old year
out, and the new yenr iu. Mabel
Hughes took precedence at mosti f tho
village gatherings, by right of acknowl
edged bellcehip, and her father’s largo
hodpitoblo house was tho rendezvous on
the present occasion. The young folks
hod bden discussing nnuivcisnries, and
while on that theme, April Fool's day
had hud n place in the list of memorable
days of tho year. Mabel hpd been fool
ed the year before by a gift of an ox-
qukdto basket containing apparently
dusters of rich red strawberries, far in
ndvauco of the New England season.
With a littlo cry of plonsurosho had put
one nftho lucioiis looking berries into her
mouth, to find it a painted deception.
Laughing yet thoroughly in enrneet, she
Imd vowed never ngain to believe in a
gilt or speech of the duto ngain.
As she now mado her speoch she
looked full in the face of tho supposed
perpetrator of tho last year's jokes, mid
was answered by a pair of sunny frank
eyes, that looked fully equal to fun of
uny sort
“I cun deceive you ngain," he de
clared in answer to her implied chal
lenge. “You have no idea how pretty
you looked, when you curled up your
noHO mid puckered your lips over that
terry."
"Why, where wero you ?"
“In the hull, enjoying tho joke."
“Well make the most of the recollec
tion for you will never sco mo in a like
scrape again."
“Until next April."
“Never I"
“We’ll see! I shall take tho next
three months to invent something abso
lutely Impenetrable."
“I defy you I"
“Hark I"
Klmvly tho penl of bells from the
neighboring church sounded the mid
night hour. As the first stroke foil up
on tho air, tho group rose to their feet,
joined hands in a l ing, and so stood mo
tionless till the last echo died away.—
Then “Happy New Year," burst simul
taneously from their lips, and after joy-
ous greetings all round, the party nope-
rated, and the house was soon wrapped
in darkness and repose.
“So John Murtyu will play inc nnoth-
•r trick this yenr," thought Mabel, tho
next morning, ns sho stood before her
glass twisting the bright curls round
her fingers. “Ho may try his best, hut
ho will not catch me again. Heigh-ho !
he will have other lliiugs to think of by
e nf-
that time, arid perhaps will forget me
together."
For John Marlyn wns going into tho
world to seek his fortune. Ono year
ago he hud left college, having spent
Ins whole small patrimony to obtain an
education. He had felt homo a frank
blight boy, with unformed manners,
rough wav*, n country bred youth in all
senses, lie had come homo Trunk and
sunny as ever, I ut with the quiet courto-
sy of a gentleman, and an education
Won by intense application during tho
entire college courso. One year lie
had given to home, though alone in his
littlo cottage a brotherless, sistcrlcss or
phan He had not intended to stay bo
lung, but there was a magnetism in Ma
bel II ughee’ durk eves that bound liiin
to the village, until the admiration deep
ened into sincere, earnest love, mid thou
the conviction grow that ho must
win weallli before be dured tell his pas
sion.
Mr. Hughes wns wealthy, a lawyer in
good pructico, but there wero nine' chil
dren in tlie luxurious homo, and the es
tate w-ould give but moderate competen
cy to each one.
John Martyn wns not the man to woo
.Mabel from her home, unless ho could
offer at least comfort in his own, and bo
had drained his purse in the year fol
lowing his return from collego. Some
where in Texas ho had un undo who
had written to him that ho had an open
ing for uq enterprising young man, ns
stock farmer
"I am very old,” so the letter ran,
“and very poor, so you must not coino
out here with any idea of finding wealth
made to your hand. You will have to
work hard—very hard, but if you are
not afraid of that, I will give you a start,
some practical advice drawn from expe
rience, and a shake down in my
raacbc."
Soho had written, and bis nephew
gladly accepted his invitation. lie had
remained to see tho New } ear in, but
Mabel knew his call on that day would
be to any farewell for months, years per-
Imps—“jMTliaps," she thought, sadly,
“never to meet again.” .She had never
questioned her bruit about John Mar
tin, content to tuko hia pleasant atten
tions, his gallant sjwoches, his deferen
tial words, or, in other words, bis half
sarny jokes, hie laughing badinage for
the ;■ muniment of tho hour. But on
that New Ycor’s day sho whs restless,
i.eivons and excited, lidding herself talk
ing at random to her callers, saying yes
where she should liuvo said no, and lis
tening intently for n footfall and voice
that lingered away Irom her. At last
ho came, tuning his call to miss the
morning visitors, and when tho luncheon
bell cleared the room of the family.
Declining Mrs. Hughes' invitation to
join them at tho table, ho kept Mabel for
u few parting words, lie did not bind
her, ho did not nsk n return of his lovo ;
ho only told her his prospects and hopes,
and then said if he ever had a homo to
offer n bride, ho should come to his nn-
tivo village to seek ono. Very vague
this, but Mabel looking into his dark,
earnest eyes, silently resolved that bis
bride should lie waiting for him whon ho
returned. Night found him speeding
over tlie iron rood to Now York, on the
long journey to Texas.
My little heroine spoke no word to
any one of tho hope in her heart. Some
day, she thought, her secret fount of
hope and happiness might bo upon to
her friends, but not now—not until words
wore given thut made her blissful dream
a certainty of joy. Three months—
four—sped nwoy, and one April morn
ing, when tho feet of May wore press
ing closely on tho confines of the passing
month, Mabel bad a letter all alono in
her pretty room; sho rend tho words her
heart full of joyful surprise over tho con
tents.
John Martyn wrote a strnngo story.
Upon his arrival in Toxas he had found
his uncle fast sinking under n fatal dis
ease, partly tho effect of starvation and
exposure. In n miserable hut, with no
bed but a blanket aprond upon the mud
floor, half clothed und half famished, the
prematurely old man lay dying. Shock
ed nt such a sight, John had at onco
sent for a physician und some comforts
to the nearest station, hut tho old man
was so distressed at tho expense, that it
was not until his nephew assured him
his own purso still held tho needful
funds, that ho consented to have a bed,
n chnir, a stove, and some medicines.
For weeks ho lingered, tho young man
faithfully ministering to his wants, then
died, leaving all ho possessed, by will,
to his beloved nephew, John Murtyu.—
The miserable hut seemed a poor lega
cy, but the young man's aumzcmont may
bo imagined w hen bo found his unde
had left an enormous fortune scraped to
gether in a lifetime of miserly accumula
tion and avaricious hoarding. After this
tale, ho poured out his whole heart to
Mattel, telling of his lovo. his hones, and
plans. One word from her would bring
him nt onco to her side. IIis uncle's af
fairs would keep him a few weeks in
Texas, hut before letters could bo ex
changed ho would be freo to hasten to
her. Might he hope ? If sho did not
love him, silence would dual that blow to
his heart.
I cannot tell the rush of happiness
that flooded Mabel’s heart as nIio read
tho letter. Sho had pictured years of
anxious waiting, hint let her fancy even
run upon death during separation, had
thought nt best they would bo middle-
aged folks before John insde his for
tune, and had tried to think how emi
gration to Texas would suit her littlo self;
and now ho could come home, rich, freo,
loving, to make her his bride. Out of
her fall, loving heart, she wrote him a
frank loiter, then, before taking both to
gain her parents’ consent to her answer,
turned to the date, to ho certain of her
address. With n quick, passionate cry,
h!io threw tho letter far from her, and
sprangfromherse.it. All the joy wns
gone from her smiling lips, the flash from
her cheek. Palo with u concentrated
anger blazing in her eyes sho paced the
floor, clenching her little hands, and
muttering, in hasty, choking accents :
“Unmanly I Ungentlcmaaly I April
Fool’s day! This is tho result of his
three months’ meditation. Idiot I wns
to bo ho tricked by that romantic story
I might hnvo seen it was copied from
some old novel. Undo .lying in » hut
und leaving him n millionaire I And to
try to win from mo this,” and sho tore
her letter into shreds us she spoke. “If
nevor noticod tho unfortunate date of hi®
important letter. Tho foolish challenge
of New Year’s Eve had been crowded
from his memory by tho hurrying change
of ovonts, and, therefore tho explanation
of her silence did not occur to him. No
she did not lovo him ; ho hnd been fool
ish, blind, vain, to believo that nil her
gcntlo winning ways mount more than
friendship. Summer heat was warning
him from Texas, and, arranging his af
fairs, he left his uncle's grave, nml the
miserable hut, nndatnrtod fora tour of
the States, previous to nn intended trip
to Europo. Ho would travel and for
get this boyish love an folly.
It wns Christmas Eve, and Mrs
Groenwny wns to givo a large party, to
which nil tho upper crust of New York
society were invited. Mrs. Groenwny
wns to introduce her nioco, nnd whon nn
old friend requested permission to bring
his son's college chum, a young million-
nniro, on n flying visit to Now York,
nnd about to start for Europe, Mrs
Groenwny graciously gave the icquest-
od permission.
So they met. Mabel wns listlessly
looking ovor tho room full of strnngo
faces, trying to fool tho interest her mini
expected in her guests, when John Mur
tyu entered tho room.
“Who is that, Aunt Helen ? How
came ho horu ?" she usked in nn eager
whisper.
“Where, my dear ? Oh, tlmt must bo
tho gentleman Mr. Leo wns telling me
nbout. Quito a romantic story," nnd
then she told Mabel what she imd be
lieved to bo n cruel juet.
Ono part of the letter true. Was tho
rest sot tho quick blood flashed through
her veins with Huffuouling speed; her
breath entne in short gasps, but with
nervous self-control sho stood quiet.—
They entne forward to greet tho hostess,
nnd as John turned from Mrs. Groenwny
to acknowledge tho introduction to her
nioco, his eyes loll upon Mabel.
Sho did not pause to think whethor it
wns forward or not. With both hands
extended, her eyes lilted imp'oringly,
her whole face quivering with emotion,
sho said:—
“Oh, John, wns it nn April Joke ?"
A nd then tho duto of his letter flush
ed iipod his memory. With quick tnct
ho drew her hand through his arm, nnd
led her toward the door.
"Where enn wo bo nlono?" he whis
pered, for she trembled violently, while
the color was fading from her face with
alarming rapidity.
“In thelibrury. Como.**
Well, reader, you and I neod nof
too. When in the early spring, John
Martyn sailed for Europo, Mabel wits
by Ins side, u fuir, sunny bride, nnd tho
April day tlint threatened to crush tho
happiness of two lives, will do to recall

tin cads creep in among her clustering
curls.

The evening train wnslonving the city
ns un old man in plain clothes, earring a
heavy carpet sack, ontcrcd tho passen
ger oar. Finding it much crowded ho
took a sent by tho sido of nn Irish labor
er, who divided the space liberally with
him. After traveling nn hour the pns-
songers wero much thinned out; the
Irishman loft, nnd tho old man had tho
whole seat to himself. Presently n fash
it in ably dressed young innn, with some
thing of n red fuce, roso from his seat nt
n distance, approached tho old man nnd
ordered him peremptorily to sit further,
and without waiting for answer or com
pliance crowded himself in, and turning
his back to his companion, threw his
logs across the m m ol the sent into tho
gangway, nnd routed his body against
his companion’s side. Tho old man en
dured lor a while without complaint,
hut finding the situation being oppios-
sivo, expostulated with tho youth nnd
doslred him to sit up nnd straighten him

sured him ho was d—d comlortnblo ns

train, nnd the young gentleman having
lost his support, rested his elbows on
the buck of the sent before, him, nnd
again made n convenience of his fellow
traveler's shoulders to support his
weight tho old man moved front side to
side to throw off his tormentor, hut nil
in vain ; tho young guntlemnn laughed
derisively ut the effort. Tlioro wore
now plenty of empty seats, nud tho old
man removed again to a muro distant
one, nt which tho city traveler express
ed tho opinion thut ho was d— d “mine-
aummodaling." Another wurning by
tho whistle—tho train stopped; tho
young man stopped out on the’platform;
the old nmn was at tho end of his journey
and as ho left tho car ho discovered his

making inquiry of tho stntion-koeper.
After a short interview with tho station

A dying father onco stretched hit

youth of BoVen years u'd, nnd said af
fectionately :
“My littlo boy, 1 nm very sick, and
wish you to run down to Mr. B's nnd

The druggist's store wns nbout half a
mile distant, but when thu boy got there
he foifnd it shut; nnd although Mr. H.
lived but n aunrtur uf n mile further off
ho concluded not to go nnd find him, but
to return homo. On his wuy buck lie
