Stay, stay, my husband, do not leave
Our cottage home to night ;
A storm is near--there's uot a star
To guide thy steps aright.
And hark ! the wailing ol the wind
Seems like a spirit'-* moan :
I tremhlc, dearest. - do not go
And leave me here uloue.
I pmy thee. Arthur, hasten not
Where maudlin ribalds meet.
Whose noisy mirth and curse* loud
Awake the slumbering street.
Clasp the strange Circean cup,
Refuse the wine to sip,
Else soon the adder's |H>ison fang
Will fasten on thy lip.
Oh! stay and I will sing the songs, „
Trilled in our happier year*,
When tin! Ilrst power *K love was owned

When sheeny castles lose in air,
With laughter and with jest,
And thou did’st seek, like errant knight,
Hiy loyalty to test.

Thou wort his treasure and his pride—
He loved thee next to (Jod.
Think of thy mother! of the kim
She pre-sod upon thy cheek—
Thou feel'st it yet. that last caress
From lii» that could not speuk.
Oh. let their memory check the uow
In this insane career ;

Of pleasantness and love.

“Lift Me Higher.”

A beautiful girl of thirteen summers w as slow
ly dying, and ending her eyes to the ceiling of
the room In which she was lying said : 11 Lift
me higher!” her purciits raised her with pillowy
but slut faintly snhl, •' no, not that, hut then-!"
i Again costing her eyes heavenward, thither her
t-oiil soon fled. What u beautiful Idea of dying
—- Lift me higher!”
'• Hilt me higher!'' saida dying girl.
A* kindred drew near her sighing,
“ To that Is ight and belter world,
My soul will soou be flying.’’
-- Lift me higher! amid you shining spheres
I see that heavenly porUl;
llnw serene and lovely it appears,
There I'll live, for aye, immortal.
“ Lift me higher! amid those happy scenes,
Then- Dover la sorrow and tears ;
There no rude thoughts and passions intervene
To rouao anew more grief or fears.'"
On silv'ry wings, her soul immortal,
Culm as u summer's suu at even’
Was borne through llmt ever sliining portal,
To dwell lorevcr in heaven.
Alt! softly she sleeps In her lonely grave,
No rude passions now disclosing—
An early spring sweet flowers will bring
To bloom w here slip's reposing.
No gloomy fears, no sorrow and cores
Will ever again come nigli her—
An angel has come from his home in the skies
And home her higher and higher.
Many tears were shed for the lovely dead,
And ail knelt in prayer beside bur
in the church yard iouc a marble stone
Is engraved : •• Lifted Higher !”
The editor of tho Alubama Argus
allows himself jolly under what oil)
people might consider serious : “\Vo
see tho sheriff, during our absence, has
advertised tho Argus for sale. We
hope the bidders will have a merry time
of it. If the sheriff can sell it ho will do
more than we ever could. Like a damp
percussion cap, we think it will fail to
gooff.” .
A Hard Lick.—Prentice, of the
Louisville Journal, is rubber emphatic
in expressing himself about suob men as

says :
If men maybe judged by their ene

President Andrew Johnson, whose bit
terest enemies arc General Butler and
Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, who ought to bo in

THE HEROIC SISTER.
BT “lR1NCB88 ANNIK.”
The city of Munich, capital of the
Kingdom of Raverin, in Germany, is sit
uated ou the river Iser, made immortal
by Campbell's lyric of llohcnlindon;
‘tho Iser rolling rapidly,’ as it well de
serves to be called— a rough unbridled
torrent. Tho Tyrolean Alps,stretching
south and wost, make tho winds chill ;
the wido, marshy, borrow plains that lie
around send forth dense, white fogs that
look and feel like ratified snow. But
ono building in tho city more than makes
up for these draw backs—the Glyntho
thok, or Gallery of Sculpture, which,
with its twelve galleries, abounding in
many of the most deathless relics of un
dent Greok art, would of itself alone re
pay ton times over tho lime and expense
of u voyage from the United States to
Europe.
In thin city dwelt a family by the
name of Scholler, fivo children, consist
ing of three sons and two daughters.—
To the few who looked deeply into char
acter, the youngest in the household, a
girl remarkably tall and handsome,
might have excited moro interest than
any of the others ; so ohoorftill, so se
rene, so firm was she ; but in tho wide
circle of their acquaintance, and in the
fumily ilsolf, tho commanding figuro
around which all their hones centered,
was tho cldeat brother Bernard, lie
hud early displayed talents so eminent,
utid such love of study, ns had fixed the
thought in their mind that through his
enreer groat distinction would bo confer
red upon them nil
Bis futhcr, therefore, sent him to llio
university of Hullo, where ho obtained u
first-rate classical education, and having
afterward thoroughly qualified himself
for the Lutheran ministry, ho manifested
so deep an acquaintance with tho learn
ing and philosophy of his profession,
that ho was appointed professor of the
ology in the univorstly of Riga, in Cour-
inud, a position won by him in his twen-
ty-fourh year, an appointment of tho
highest honor, very seldom conferred on
so young a man ; the only drawback
on which was its being under tho des
potic and corrupt government of the
Czar of Russia.
But though tho young professor wax
an enthusiast in philosophy and in sacred
loro, he had, unhappily lor himself, eyes
in his head and a very susoeptiblo heart
in his bosom. As Im was returning to
his boarding houso one afternoon from u
very eloquent lecture he had delivered,
ho encountered a young lady on tho
street, whose face and form impressed
him greatly. He was strongly tempted
to turn and look at her, instanter; hut
this most unprofessorlikc propensity, by
an immense effort, ho overcame, and
marched most resolutely on his way
down tho streot for no less than a block
and a half, when suddenly recollecting
that ho had important business in tho
opposite droction, ho wheeled round and
hastened on his journey up tho street in
the same direction which tho young
beauty bail taken, and by dint of rapid
strides ho overtook her just ns she step
ped into the store of tho principal book
seller in tho city. Of course ho hud un
important hook on theology lopuicliafle
mid so it was inevitable that lie should
go in after her.
Bho had not anything to buy, but as
she proved to be an intimate acquaint
ance of tho bookseller’s she had some
conversation with him, and when she
left ho informed tho professor that the
young lady was a Jewess of a most re
spectahlo family, with which, notwith
standing tho difference of faith, lio and
his household had for several years been
very inti mute.
'Well, then, you can introduce me to
her.'
'I will bo happy to do so. You have
seen that like many of her rucc, she is
beautiful, and on acquaintance you will
find her to be talented, as is ulso com
mon with tho children of Israel. Indeed,
ufter long observation and much intei-
course with them, I am of tho opinion
that the Jews are, upon the whole, tho
most talented people in tho world—as
suredly destined to a splendid future,
and very capable of it. 1 have met with
many Jews, and I never yet met n stu
pid ono. But spend tho evening w ith
us on Tuesduy evening next, and judge
of her for yourself. In singing and on
tho piano she will give you a treat.’
The evening enrno. Tho two were
introduced and boenmo deeply interest-1
cd in each other. Her conversation
was lively and intelligent, for she lmd
read extensively. His theological zeal
mingled with tho passionate love f< r her :
which ho began to entertain; here-]
solved to try to convert her, and then j
make her Ins wife. Ho found out that
like not a few educated people of her i
race, she was anxious to hour of the
prophet of Nazareth, and wus an ad
mirer of his moral teachings.
In tho courso of numerous meetings
she at length declared herself convinced
of the t: nth of Christianity. All this,
however, could not bo concealed from
her parents ; her father, a highly influ
ential merchant,interfered and forbade
her fo sec or to correspond with her
lover ; yet, despite of this opposition,
they met in secret, and she consented
to flee with him across tho frontier into
Silesia, to be baptized and bocomo his
wife.
They fled accordingly, but by stern
mishap, her relatives and the police pur
suing the fugitives, they were over
taken before they reached tho frontiers,
and brnugln back to Riga, where I ho
Jews are specially protected, and where
to carry oil i Jewish woman by force is
a capital crime.
Sclmllcr ras therefore tried for his
life, lie deluded himself by declaring
that tho lady had fled with him of hot-
own accord that she was a Christian,
and betrothed to him ; that they hud
solemnly exchanged rings, and that
they were to hive been married tho first
hour they got jnwSilesia.
‘My (laughin' denies all this,’ cried
the incensed fither. ‘She affirms that
sho was forceiDinto the carriago against
her will and inllefiunce of struggles.’
•Confront mi with her. I am confi
dent sho will hover say so. She has
pledged lior tith to mo. It is certain
that no such wul and false accusation
or came fronvior lips.’
The lady wndbrought into court, pale
and trembling, hipportcd by her father
and others of for family. The judge
ait the qucstionVo her, whether it was
iy her own free 4'nseut that she had
fled with tho prisVier at tho bar.
For a minute ore.wo sho made no 1'0-
ply. A profound ktspenso hushed the
crowded court-hoiie to stillness ; his
fate hung upon hernoxt words anil her
adherence to truth. Tho question was
repeated.
‘Did you go off win tho man of your
own free will V’
Bho at length replied in a faint
voice,— f
'No. 1

TIiobo answers fell On him like a
stroko of lightning, 'lie look of confid
ing tenderness with wleli ho had re
garded her when aholirst came into
court, gave way to agaze of frenzied
disappointment and dJpnir. Jlis rea
son scorned shaken froj its throne, lie
had counted so undojutingly on her
truth.
As if seized with a ulden frenzy ho
made a hopeless and t spernto attempt
to rush upon the faith ss ono. On bo-
iug prevented ho drov t knife from his
pocket, which he atti pled to plunge
into his own breast, bt it waa wrested
from him; in tho i ugglo ho was

young lady swooned awy. The sight
of her insensible form, til his own flow
ing blood, restored hiiato his senses,
but ho became sullonllcalm, brought
forward not another won in his defence,
refused to reply to thehuestions that
were put to him, and walero long, con
voyed to prison.

enquired of her.

of tho family were assembled. Bo|

wont into hysterics, or mndo an it sho
would go into them, at sucll a proposal.
Then shouo forth that quiet, uuthmight
of honesm of tho female heart which so
often manifests itself to make up for tho
doilciouces of man.
Theresa, tho youngest of thorn nil,
suddenly left the room and returned
speedily, a servant bringing in a largo
travelling trunk, which hau been newly
bought.
‘1 foresaw,’ sho said, cheerfully and
without the least of self-conceit or ol up
braiding in her voico, ‘that it wns impos
sible and improper for Robert or NYil-
holm to go. Lot it be min®. I will sot
out this day week. As a woman my
chance of success in such an attempt is
far greater than a man’s would ho. I
bought this trunk, therefore, this morn
ing. Lot us all begin without further
words to hasten forward my preporn
lions.’
Bho wns furnished amply with the
means of travelling, and the old mother
gave her a parting blessing. On tlio
day named, she left, for Riga, which she
reached without any accident. Furnish
ed with all necessary papers properly
attested, so that it appeared beyond all
reasonable doubt that the Professor's
account of tho affair with tho Jewess
was truthful, his sister went on to St.
Petersburg. But there her troubles
commenced, The official rolurn of her
brother's condemnation, place of exile,
punishment, oto. etc/, sho wrung from
tho polioo authorities only by the great
est putHcvorauco, determination and
tact; and thou, with tho assistance of a
German clergyman to whom hIio had
letters of introduction, sho drew up a pe
tition to tho Emperor.
With this petition in her hand sho
sought an interview with the minister of
tho interior. By no moans easy to ob
tain a hearing of so great a man, appli
cation alter application wus required
ere sho succeeded ; and at last, when
admitted into his august presenoo, ho
treated her with tho utmost harshness,
and absolutely rolusod to deliver tho pe
tition for her.
‘Your brothor wns a bad character,
and deserved nil lie met with.'
She had thrown herself on her knoop
before him, but ou hearing words so un
just she sprang to her feet, and stretch
ing her bunds towards heaven, she
cried,—
•1 call God to witness that my broth
or is innocent. But, thank God, you
lire m>k the Emperor, and I can still
hope.’
'Do you daro to speak so to me ? Do
you know who I am V
‘Yes you are Ids excellency, the minis
ter. But what of that 7 You aro a cru
el, unjust nmn I But I put my trust in
God, and tho Emperor.’
Bho then indignantly left tho room,
even without a courtesy, ho following
her to the door with loud and angry
words.
Rejected by all tho ministers, sho now
resolved to appeal to tho Emperor in
person. But to roach him wus dillioult
in the extromo. In vain she spent hun
dreds of dollars ii. bribes to l ho inferior
officers; in vain she besot tlio imperial
suite at reviews, at tho theatre, on the
way to church ; hut she was thrust
back by tho guards, and could not rcuch
the Gzar.
After six weeks’ Agony of this kind,
a lady of rank who hud heard of her
story, lent her conch, her dress and her
servants to her; with those she drove to
the palace at the next levee, being mis
taken for the Countess ; she was pre
ceded by a running footman with three
Incod lackeys in full dross, mounted bo-
hind the chariot. Bhc was announced
ns the Countess Elise D , who sup
plicated a Hpeeiul audicnco u( his majes
ty.
In a few minutes she was in tho Em
peror's presence. Ho advanced to meet
her with an air of gratification, but sud
denly started back. Without a touch
of four or hesitation, intent solely on her
object, for which she was ready to die,
she sprang forward and knelt at his
feet, exclaiming, with clasped hands,—
‘Pardon, imperial mujesty! Pardon !’
'Who are you ?’ ho said, astonished,
‘and what can I do for you 7'
Blie burst into tears, melted by his
‘Your majesty is a god upon enrth.
Do you indeed pardon my brother?
Your ministers would not suffer mo to
approach near you, and oven yet 1
lear—'
•Fear nothing; you have my prom
ise.’
Ho then rained her from tlio floor and
conducted her to the door. She tried to
thank him, but her words were drowned
in emotion. Ho held out his hand for
her to kiss, and bowed to her as sho loft
tho apartment.
Fivo days after a lackey in tho imperi
al livery came to her hotel, and put into
her bauds a paekut with tho Emperor’s
compliments. It contained her brother’s
pardon, with the Emperor’s seal and sig
nature.
The minister, now ns subservient ns
ho had before boon tyrannical, offered to
forward tho pardon to .Siberia; but
Theresa would not let it out of hoi
hands; sho resolved to curry it to the
beloved Sufferer herself.
After throe days’ sho reached Mos
cow. The town in Siberia,Jo the gover
nor of which she was recommended, was
nine hundred versts, or six hundred and
sevonty five miles beyond Moscow ; the
place of exilo lay many and many a
verst further still,
After leaving Moscow sho travelled
post ton days and nights, sleeping in the
carriage. Bho then rested for two drys,
after which, resuming her journey, she
posted on foi other ten days and nights,
away into that pitiless dime which has
been for many generations the fit tor-
turo-houHo of a crushing despotism.
Siberia I The very name reminds us
of struggling patriots borno down by
bayonets and consigned to an imprison
ment of eternal frosts ; yet those frosts
are easier to molt than tlio heart of the
ruthless government. Desert plains and
treeless steppes from which an endless
winter banishes tho arts and social life I
Tlio cold in tho northern part is far
keener and much more constant than
that of Lnplun.l, so that at times, the
very mercury of the thermometer is con
gealed. The oak, with its heart of iron,
tlio hazel, tlio eldor, tlio piano, tho wild
apple disappear in tho neighborhood of
tho Urnticn mountains, and on tho banks
ol river Tobol. Tho common gooseber
ry-bush, which grows oven in Green
land, cannot survive further north than
Turukansk, on tho Youesoi. Potatoes
diminish in size till nt tlio latitude of sixty
dogrees they arc no larger than perns ;
while tlio cubbago acquires no head.—
And who can describe tho damp horrors
of a Biborinn fog shrouding tho frigid
earth ns if in a death-mantle.
At lust sho roachod tho gloomy for
tress where her brothor hud for seven
long years been toiling in fottors. Tho
eommandnnt recoivod her courteously,
satisfied himself that tho pardon wns
correct and official, and hastened with
her to tho chain-gang.
It wns twelve at mid-day when she
arrived ; she could not rest u moment
till her brothor was in her arms. The
commandant and the lady woro soon in
tlio prosciiee of sixty men. Rough, mi
couth figures, their bodies bent with toil,
their faces wrinkled by exposure, their
eyes, alas, rnyless through want of hope

and a pang, ns wns to Dives in woo the

Requesting her to draw her voil over

How eagerly she gazed but in vain.
Despair, common to them nil, had given
to tdl their facos a certain degreo of
sameness. She wept floods of tears in
her pity, in hot' tremor, in her joy. She
feared, too, lest tho shook of rapture
might lie too grout for him. To break it
to him she took from her neck n miaturc
of her mother. The commandant went
up to one of tlm men and gave it to him.
lie gazed on it and recognized the saint

greater tliHti her husband's ; for tlio ono,
the first cause—mutuul love and confi

oxtrnvngnnce and mismanagement; and
moro is spont in trifles than woman
would easily believe. The ono great
oxpenso, whatever it may be, is turned
ever mid carefully reflected on, tlio in
come is prepared to meet it; but it is
pennies imperceptibly sliding away
which do mischief; and tho wife alone
can stop, for it does not come within a
man's province. There is ofton na un
suspected trifle to bo suvod in every
household.
It is not in economy alone that tlio
wife's attention is so ucccasury, but in
thoso niceties which innko a well rogulu-
tod house. An unfurnished cruet-stand,
a missing key, a buttoaless shirt, a soil
ed tnblo cloth, a mustnrd pot with its old
contents slinking hard and down about
it, aro really nothings, but each can rniso
an angry word and cause discomfort.
Depend upon it, there is a great deal of
doinoHtio happiness about a well dressed
mutton chop, or n tidy breakfast table.

A woman may love her husband do-
votedly—mny sacrifice! for' uno, friends,
family, country, for him—she may havo
tho genius of u Bnppho, tho cnohautod
beauties of un Artnida ; but melancholy
fact—if with these she fails to muko his
homo oomfortublo his heart will inevita
bly escape her. And women live so
entirely m the uffootiouH, that without
love their existence is void. Bettor sub
mit, then, to household tasks, however
repugnant they may be to your tasts,
than to doom yourself to a loveless
homo. Woman of n higher order of
mind will not run their risk ; they know
that their feminine, their domestic, are
their first duties.
Cut Tims Out.—The M.eroantilu Times
gives the following seasonable rules for
young men commencing business :
The world estimates men by their
success in life—nnd, by general consent,
success is evidence of superiority.
Never, under any circumstuuccn, as
sume a responsibility you can avoid con
sistently with your duty to yourself and
others.
Ruse all your actions upon a principle
of right ; preserve your integrity of
character, and in doing this, never reck
on the cost.
Uomoiubor that self-interest is moro
likely to warp your judgement than all
other circumstances combined ; tlioro-
foro, look well to your duty, whon your
interest is concerned.
Never make money ut tho oxponso of
your reputation.
Bo neither lavish nor niggardly ; of
tho two, avoid tho lattor. A mean man

An Editor Tight.—Wo beliovo it is
rare that an editor indulges in a drop,
but when they do, their readers are sure
to find them out. A cotompornry was
called upon to record a “melancholy
event” at a time whon his hood was
rather heavy, and did it Up after tho
following manner :
“Yesterday morning, nt 4 o’clock, P.
M., a man with a heel in the holo of his
stocking, committed arsenic by swallow

the verdict returned a jury that tho do-
ceased catno to tho facts in accordance

“Where ?”
“Just yonder.”
“Will you show mo tho place ?”
“That I will, in less than no time,"
said tho man, approaching a small wood
of young timber. “Ay, tnoro bo is suro

Making Liciiit of a Grave SurjkcT.—
A medical gazette in Lyons advunces
