Rev.
No night of trembling such as those
We passed beside that dying bed,
Fearing the sleeper’s calm repose
Would be the slumber of tne dead.
No nights of weeping, as we wept,
ihed,”
Shedding our bitter tears like rain;
As on that coueh the loved one slept,.
Never to wake oh earth again.
No waking nights of anguished dreams,
When come the ghosts of murdered yean;
And each a dread acouser seems,.
Scourging our guilty souls with feare.
O morning sun 1 whose rosy light,
Brings on the bright and gladsome day:—
O silver moon 1 whose lamp at night .
Strhles on the earth with modest ray ;—
Ye shall not shine upon those plains
omedclothed in white,
. W here,walk the ranson
Where God the Son in glory reigns,.
And is himself ‘‘thereof the light.”
Then what thongh many a gloomy night
' fl
Should yield but to a gloomier day!
Wart for that morning, clear and bright,
Which will all nights of grief repay.

Mother!—Fondlv you gaze up
on the noble, manly form of that
son; proudly you see his mind ex
panding, his brilliant talents un
folding to the astonished and en
raptured gaze of the world. You
look away into the dim future, and
behold him a ‘bright particular star,’
in some grand sphere of action,
with a laurel wreatn upon his brow,
and a fountain of truth and honor
gushing up in liis heart. You
lean upon his strong arm, and
flowers, beautiful even as the flow
ers of youth, spring up in your
pathway; and the sun of your life
is more brilliant in its setting than
in the rosy morning of your exis
tence.
Ah, fond mother, do you con
sider, when you set before him
those tempting viands and rich
sauces, so skillfully compounded
with wines, brandies, and other
strong stimulants forming the chief
part of their ingredients, that you
are kindling a fire which shall
consume those brilliant talents,
thatflashing-wit, and all of honor
and true manliness in that cherish
ed son? And their ashes shall be
heaped upon the ruined altar of
pour own heart! - '
■ Wife!—Trustingly you lay your
head upon -that husband’s faithful,
loving heart—and with hope you
bid him God speed, as he hastens
to his labors of love for the dear
ones at home. The sun is sinking
into the crimson sea which floods
the west; the shadows are lengthen
ing, and you are eagerly listening
for the dear familiar footsteps, and
with the passing inoments you
glide into dreamland)
Oj the long blessed years in that
happy home, where the stln ever
shines, and flowers ever bloom,
which rise before your enchanted
vision! O, the grateful incense of
love which fills the mellow air;
the gushing melody of gladness
ttiat swells on-every- tneezw. Bat
he comes ah, devoted wife, do you
not see in the depths of that spark
ling cup which you proffer 3’our
dearest friend, to dispel the cares
and anxieties of the day, even
though it be but the ‘pure juice’
of the luscious grape from your
own arbors—do you not see' down
deep in its sparkling depths, your
own bitter tears, and the life-blood
firoift. your bursting heart ?
Many suns.may rise and set, ere
you know the sad reality; but
light temptations, pave the way
that leads to gross indulgsuce,
darkness and wo! And, O, what
afearfutretribution shall comeat
last'
Sister!—Proudly you stand be
side that noble brother, and listen
with that beloved brother, and
sip' the ruby, wine, that your exam
ple YvilL prove, a fatal snare that
shall destroy- those fascinating
powers of heart and mind, and
sweep them, with your own bright
hopes, into speedy oblivion?—
Fearful and darkness that shall
shroud your soul, when the star of
hope shall have set for ever!
Mother! Wife! Sister! When
you kneel before the great Father,
and pray,.‘lead us not into tepta-
tion,’ pray also to be delivered
from the sin of setting temptations
before the cherished objects of
your heart’s holiest and purest af
fections.

cluster the love, admiration and

All English Countess Astray.
While Lord Ellenborough, the
ex-Goyernor General of India is
busily engaged in the House of
Lords supporting the Tories, in the
hope that he may become, in the
event of Earl Derby supplanting
Lord Palmerston, a Cabinet Minis
ter; his wile now separated from him
some twenty years, is leading a wild
life among the Arabs. A corres
pondent of the New York Observer
writing from Damascus, March 23,
thus speaks of her:
You have heard of the eccentric
English Countess who married an
Arab Sheikh. Rumor said she
was dead. Rumor as usual was
false. I was in her villa this morn
ing, just out of the gates of Damas
cus-. She is at Palmyra with her
husband, who is a pretty Arab,
small in stature, and generally con
temptible. Is it not a strange his
tory ? She was lanihe Countess of
Ellenborough, young,- beautiful,
worshipped. Her only daughter
was the affianced bride of Austria.
How do I know that she was beau-
tl£h! ? _J wj]] tell you. T saw Rev
Boudoir this morning, and one of
its ornaments was her portrait at
twenty years old. She was royal
ly beautiful. Time and care have
changed het perhaps. Among her
books I saw familiar volumes. One
was “Daily Food,” a well worn
copy too. Another was entitled
“Marriage from a Christian Point
of Yiew,”. a French Yvork. -Her
boudoir was; splendidly orniriented,
and had portraits of her father, a
fine looking old English gentle
man,*and her children; one living
now, the other dead, I believe.—
Her history is but half known.—
Divorced from Lord Ellenborough
for intrigues with a German Prince,
she went to Greece,. where she
married a Greek Count. Tired of
him, she went to Damascus, where
in a visit to Palmyra she was pro
tected from robbery by this fellow,
whose name is Medjul. She de
termined to marry him. He ob
jected . and ran away. She em
ployed Arabs to bring him back.
The English Consul interferred.—
The Turkish Governor objected.—
said she was worth £1500. a year,
and all Turkey could not prevent
her doing as she wished. So she
followed Medjul into the desert
and was married to him in.Turkish
style or Arab style. No one thinks
it will be lasting-. She keeps him
supplied with moneyj has given him
tin elegant place near .Damascus,
and before long" will travel away
in search of new adventures. Her
friends are desirous of keepiDir her
as far away from England as possi
ble, and it is a matter of Surprise
that they sent her elegant presents
of money on hearing of this, marri
age, thongh they knew it to be both
illegal and immoral. I assure .you
that I found it almost impossible to
believe that I was in the villa of
one who had ruled in the splendid
circles of St. Jftrnes, who had been
a special favorite with the Iron
Duke, who had rivalled royalty it
self in England, and who was now
in an Arab tent, the wife of a dog
of an Anazee. He is not even a
respectable Sheika of. the tribe—he
is merely a common Arab.
The Brare Boy.
I was sitting by a window in the
second stoiy of one of the large
boarding-houses at Saratoga Springs
thinking of absent friends, when
I Heard shouts of children from tire"
piazza beneath me.
‘Oh,yes; that’s capital! so we
will! Come on now I There’s
William Hale! Come oa, William,
we’re going to have a ride on the
circular railway. Come with us/
‘Yes, if my mother is willing;—
I will run and ask her;’ replied
William.
‘Oh, oh! so you must run and
ask your ma, Great baby—run
along to your ma! Ain’t you
ashamed 7 I didn’t ask my moth- 1
erZ
‘Nor I,—nor 1/ added half a
dozen voices.
‘Be a man, Wiftiarn/ cried the
first voice; ‘Come along with us
if you don’t wish to be called a :
coward as long as yon live. Don’t
you see We afe all waiting ?’
I tamed forward to catch a view
of the children, and saw William
standing With one foot advanced,
and his hand firmly clenched, in
the midst of the group. He was ar
fine subject for a painter, Just at
that moment. His flushed brow,
flashing eye, compressed lip,- and
changing cheek, all told how that
word coward was rankling in his
hreast. Will he prove himself, in
deed, one, by yielding to them?
thought I. It was with breathless
interest I listened for his answer,
for I feared that the evil principle
in his heart would be stronger
than the good. But no.
‘I will not go without I ask mjr
mother,’ said the noble boy, his
vcnce trembling with, emotion, ‘and
I am no coward either. I promised.
without her permission, and *5
should be a base coward if I were
to tell her a wicked lie/
There was something command
ing in his tone, which made the
noisy children mute. It was the
power of a strong soul over the
weaker; and they involuntarily
yielded him the tribute of respect.
I saw him in the evening among
the gathered multitude in the par 1
lor. He was walking, by his moth
er’s side—a stately matron, clad in
widow’s weeds. It was with evi
dent pride she looked on her grace
ful boy, whose face was one of the
finest I ever saw, fairly radient
with animation and intelligence.—
Well might she be proud of such a
son—one who could dare to do
right; when all were tempting to
the wrong.
To the Girls.
Habits of- neatness, cleanliness
and order,-are indispensable to a
female, if she has any regard to the
comforts of others or of her owiL
The sex are designed not only to
extend the comforts of domestic life,
but to be its principal ornaments;
an attention to dress therefore is
necessary, How many females
fun into the error of thinking that
to dress Well, when tlie two things
