’Tin morn—the sea breeze seems to bring
Joy, health nnd freshness on its wing;
Bright flow.rs, to me all strange and now
Are glittering in the early dew,
I Aud perfimA rise from every grove,
As incense to the clouds that move
Like spirits o’er yon welkin clear ;
But I am sad —thou art not here /
Tis noon— a calm, unbroken sleep
Is od the blue waves of the deep,
A soft haze, like a fairy dream.
Is floating over wood ar.d stream,
And many a broad magnolia flotver,
Within its shady woodland bower,
Is gleaming like a lonely star ;
But I am sad -thou art afar /
’Tis eve—on earth the sunset skies
Are printing their own Eden dyes,
The stars come*down, and trembling glow.
Like blossoms on the ware below,
And like an unseen spirit the breeze
Seems lingering ’mid the orange trees.
Breathing its music ronnd the spot;
But lain sad—l sec thee not/
‘Tis midnight—with a soothing spell
The far off tones ol ocean swell—
Soft as the trotheT cadences mild.
Low beneftn j; o'er her sleeping ah.il<3 ;
And on each wandering breeze are heard
The rich notes of,the mocking bird,
In many a wild and wondrous lay,
But I am sad—thou art away 1
I sink in dreams—low, sweet and clear,
Tly own dear voice is in my ear,
Around my ueck tby tresses twine—
Tby own loved hand is clasped in mine,
Tby own soft lip In mine is pressed,
Thy head is pillowed on my breast,
O, I have all my heart holds denr,
And I am happy—thou art here !

I came on the wings of the morning.
And rested 'mid earths silvan bowers,
Hung a pearl on each trembling leaflet,
And painted the capes of the flowers.
I strolled by the glassy lakelet,
Through the cool forest did I stray,
And the breeze eaug so sweet mid the
branches,
That oft I was tempted to stay.
Through the long summer days I ne’er
wearied.
And stayed not my mission witk night.
When datkne.s would tain hide the land
scape.
I o'er it threw a soft veil of light,
, Not a nook in the earth hut I entered,
And gave it a charm ul its own,
| From the coral leaf tloyu to the ocean
I Far up to the heaven's bine dome.
1 From the bright sparkling light of the fire
fly,
To the dazzling radiance of noon,
For the butterfly's gay robes of summer
To the rainbow fading so soon.
’Mid the bones of mankind did I linger,
There who w ill my presence deny ?
i kissed the soft cheek of the maiden,
And danced in the light of her eye,
I gave to the dark Cleopatra,
That glorious quean of the Nile,
Such charms that a Romau triumvir,
(lave the world in exchange for her
smile.
A Helen, a Ceuci, a Borgia-
Immortal their names ever ll shine,
And art pay them homage forever
Through the long misty ages of lime.
W iihout me earth would have been dreary,
Man weary with toil and unrest!
Ah ! gladly he welcomed my c; tiling.
Oh, say, was my mission not blest I
A correspondent, of the Steuben
Courier, writing from Hartsyille,
New York, gives the following
facts :
: ‘A young man became attached to
a young and beautiful damsel, who
died before their intended marriage
could be consummated. lie then
married the mother of the deceased,
who was some twenty years his se :
nior, but with whom he lived quite
happily until she was eighty and
lie sixty years of age. As the wife
had by"this time become quite de
crepid, they adopted a maid of some
thirty summers, who had lived with
them a year and a half, when the
old lady died. Before the time ap
‘ pointed for the funeral the man
himself was taken sick, on which
account the funeral services were
postponed four weeks. But in leffe
than two weeks he sent for ajdstice
of the peace and was married to the
maid he had adopted. The next
day the couple applied to the town
for support, and a week later the
man himself died, his funeral being
attended before that of his first wife
and the woman he had so recently
married being the only mourner.’

above the mere line of partisanship
and speak the Language of true

But so long as those who aspire to

regard political affairs lightly, the

at home, with her maternal anccs

j you and me, dear reader, or any
other chap, those same Betsy
Bounce was the meanest woman
that over lived ontsile of Massachu
setts or the Fegco Islands.
Amina Ann was a poachy girl—
| she was muchly peachy, and those
, love-lit eyes of hers would make a
j man forget his mother and every
j body he owed : fact!
IIoi; bail - —Oh ! how beautiful!
jlt was muchly, yes, more than
I muchly beautiful. Its raven hue
could only be surpassed by the U.
; S. Congress, and she wore it in a
Water Call that was as dear to her as
the “home of her chillhood,” if not
some dear.cr.
She had a nose also, Amina had;
an exquisite nose ; and chose said
nose of Amina’s turned up, oh, so
sweetly ! But her lip•! ■ Oh, Lem
on Ice dream, get out! Y’ou
I couldn’t hold a match to them!-
j Well do I remember tjic first time
! I kissed those lips. You can just
bet your stamps I remember it! I'll
j tell you about it:
’Twas a moon light Luna
j was muchly bright; -but, dearest
reader, it was late in he night.—
i Amina and I stood in tie door, and
my heart heat so fist it felt quite
sore. My arm was around Amina’s
I waist ' I looked into hel eyes; and
; they looked so bright anl sweet and
I nice, that I couldn't 'jreathe for
| sighs ! I caught Amina: n my arms
1 and to my breast I pro; ;ed her.—
; Then my lips to hers did fly, and,
,my dear boy, I kissed ncr ! Oh,
j how that kiss rpm through me ! It
; made me feel awful good; it did,
| you bet.
| One evening wnen t|ij? day-god

[ near-by hay stack, I pit on a clean
I duplex paper collar anti wended my
| way in the dircctioi of Amina
j Ann’s residence.
She was at the gate :o meet me,
i and she looked as lovey and sweet
ias peaches and cream She hold j

I "oh!’’ I sqttozc again. You can |

, Betsy Bounce was in the parlor*
when wc entered. Sin' looked us
though she intended to stay there.
V sour look rested aroun'd her sharp j
| nose, aud her mouth was closed as
i tight as a steel trap,
1 seated myself on a sofa by the
side of Amina Ann, and waited for j
her sour maternal ancestor to ro-[
tiro. Shi* did not appear in anv '
hurry to retire indeed she didn't!
These mothers that stay in the
parlor and keep an eye on you
when you wish to talk sweetly tin-(
to her pretty daughter, are much
ly aggravating. They ought to be
impeached.
Well, time rolled on, and still
Betsy Bounce kept, her scat; she
also kept one eye on tno. She was
getting very sleepy J was certain,
for she occasionally glanced at the
Mock.
At length her face grew more
sour ; her lips closed lighter togeth
er, and 1 knew something was com
ing. Something did come, too !
(I- “Young man!” she said unto
me, wiping a tear from the end of
her nose, “its bod time.”
“1 haven't any objection,” said i.
“Any objection to what?” she
asked.
“To your going to bed !”
F’lie looked as black as Thai! Ste
vens, and then she arose and left
the room.
“Jerusalem !” thought 1 to my
self, “She has really retired.—
What’s going to happen ? Where
fore is thusly ? Now’s my time to
talk much Sweetness unto those fair
girl by my side 1 I’ll take it !”
IHcv WtftLo hand \ay ir\ \\cr \vv\y,

ungracious squQge mine ft
and what a thrilling squoze if was !
Reader, if you ever squoze a
beauteous female girl’s soft little
band, you will know my fooling felt
when 1 passed Amina Ann’s. Os
course you will.
“I'll press Amina’s rosy lips,” I
said, as she looked up in my face
with those bright eyes ; but before
the kiss was o'er, I heard some foul
invisible fiend whisper words as
follows:
“By all the dogs that hark at
night! by all the rats that fear tho
light! by all the #nisskceters• and
miskeetercscs too, come forth, oh,
yon. and quickly too. By all tho
snakeses that ever crawled ! by all
the cows that ever bawled ! by all
the pigs that ever grunted ! by all
the niggers that ever voted ! by all

She appeared with *a kettle of
boiling water, and. dear reader, be
lieve me when l say I sloped in a

I A Wonderful. Dome. --The dome
jgjf the Capitol at Washington is the
most ambitious structure in Amer
ica. It is a hundred and eight ft.
higher than the Washington Monu
ment at Baltimore, sixty-eight feet
higher than that of Bunker Hill,
and twenty-three feet higher than
the Trinity Church spire of New
York. It is the only considerable
dome of iron in the world. It is a
vast hollow sphere of iron weigh
ing 8,200,000 pounds. JV>\v much
is that ? More than four thousand
tons, or about the weight of seven
ty thousand full grown people , or
about equal to a thousand laden
con! cars, which, holding four tens
apiece, would reach two miles and a
half. Directly over your head is a
figure in bronze, “America,” weigh
ing Id.OSJ pounds. The pressure
of the iron dome upon the piers and
pillars is 13,477 pounds to the sqr,
foot. St. Peter’s presses nearly
20,000 pounds more to the square
foot, and St. Genevieve at Paris,
6C,000 more. It would require to
crush tho supports of our dome a
pressure of 77.5,230 pounds to the
square foot. The cost was about
$1,100,000. The now wings cost
about $6,500,000. The architect

“The number of Southerner:.:
living at the North, particularly in |

They are working banking estab

magician : of society in Charleston,

Tiif. Human Figure. —The pro
portions of the human figure are
strictly mathematical. The whole
figure is six times the length of tho
foot. Whether the form be slender
or plump, the rule holds good ; any
deviation-front it is a departure from
the highest lx>auty in proportion.—
The Groekjj made all their statues
according to this rule. The face
from tho highest point of the fore
head, where the hair begins, to tho
chin, is one-tenth of tho whole sta
tue. The hand, from the wrist to
the middle finger, is the same.—•
Ftorn the top of the chest to highest
point in the forehead, is a seventh.
If the length of the face, from the
roots of the hair to the chin, be divi
ded into three equal parts, the first
division determines the place where
the eyebrows meet, and the second
the place of the nostrils. The
height from the feet to the top of
tho head, is the same as distance
from the extremity of the fin
gers when the arms are extended.
The True Life.— The mere lease
of years is not life. To eat and
drink and sleep ; to ho exposed to
darkness and the light; to pace
round the mill of habit, and turn the
wheel of wealth, to make reason our
bookkeeper, and to turn into an
implement of trade—this is not life,
in all this, but a poor fraction of the
consciousness of humanity is awak
ened. and the sanctities still slumber
which make it most worth while liv
ing. Knowledge, truth, love, beau
ty, faith, alone can give vitality to
tho mechanism of existence, the
laugh of mirth which vibrate
through the heart, the tears that
t freshen the dry waste within, the
I music that brings childhood back.
1 the death which startles us with
(mystery, the hard 'flips that force
|us to struggle, tho anxiety that
| cuds in trust, are the true nourish
