A HOUSEHOLD WORD.
TO MV COfSIX HELEN.
Pleasant are thine eyes, dear Helen,
Sunny, soft, and kind,
Os” a true warm heart the token,
And a tpii t mind.
Few have seen theii looks of welcome.
Few thy heart hath known.
Round the dwelling, sisters, kindred.
All thou tali’st “ thine ■ >rn.”
Cherished yet, —a scarce-Hedged nestling—
By the Parent Dove,
Still thy sett glance, where it fid lei h,
Meeteth lore for love!
But when thou shall pass the portals
Os thy childish years.
When the narrow circle widens
Os thy hopes and tc.irs,
When great crowds of alien faces
Those sweet eyes shall see,
W lien ‘‘the World” shall greet iliee, Helen,
Then, how si tall it be?
As the sun, at early morning,
Sees the leaden streams
Glisten with a tender radiance
Borrowed from Ins beams;—
As the Moon at midnight shining
On ihe sad grey waves,—
Sees her own smile onward creeping
To the dark sea-eaves;
As an Angel's presence lighteth
Dull and common ground ;
So the spirit of thy cliildhood
Still shall linger round
When thv untried step shall wander
Forth from Home's calm r<>of,
Gooduess shall be there to guide thee,
Evil stand aloof.
Still those eyes shall keep their sunshine
Free from crime or care.
Still be gently raised to Heaven
Full of lore and prayer,
And the coldest, the most worldly,
Pronest to condemn.
Can but look upon thee kindly,—
.Vs thou look st on them !
It strikes us that Dickens himself never wrote a more
“ searching” satire than the following upon the prac
tice of Shu-liny Hum in <lriej\ as if one could i.uf or
quarter mourn tor a dear friend “gone hence, to be no
more seen!’’ The article f: out w hich it is condensed
was called “ Tut IFo,.*e <f Mv>irnimj t a Ftrce which
appeared in an English magazine mow discontinued i
some sixteen years since. It should be premised, that
“ Spare Hamper” and h's w ife, persons rather of the
rustic order, who have come up to London from the
family seat in the country, in the progress of shopping
in a street at the west end of the metropolis, stop at a
drv-goods undertaker’s, with “Mu.< <i iHuil” or
“ 1 louse of Mourning,’ by way of a sign over the
door.
“Mason de !)■ *ff!” exclaims the Squire, responding
to his wife’s translation; “some foreign haber-oashcr’s,
1 s’pose.”
The lady, however,coaxes him logo in; for, although
she has lost no friends, she longs to see the “improve
ments in mourning,” w hich site can do bv “cheapen
ing a few articles, and buying a penny worth of black
pins.” The worthy pair enter, take an ebony chair at
the counter, w hile a clerk in a suit of sables addresses
the lady, and in sepulchral tones inquire* if he “can
have the melancholy pleasure of nerving her.”
“ How deep would you choose to go ma’am ? Do you
w ish to be very poignant ? We have a very extensive
assortment of family and complimentary mourning.—
Here is one. Ma’am, just imported; a widow’s silk, wa
tered, as you perceive, to match the sentiment. It is
tailed the ’ Inconsolable,’ and is very much in vogue iu
Paris for matrimonial bereavements.”
“ Looks rather flimsy, though,” inierq uses the Squire;
“ not likely to last long, eh, Sir?”
“A little slight, pr’ups,” replica the shopman ; “rather
a delicate texture; but mourning ought not to last for
ever. Sir.”
“No,” grumbles the Squire; “it seldom does, ’spe
cially the violent sorts.”
“ As to mourning. Ma’am,” continues the shopman,
addressing the ladv, “there has been a great deal, a very
great deal indeed, this season : and several new fabrics
have been introduced, to meet the demand for fashiona
ble tribulation, and all in the French style; they of
France excel in th efttnelrre. Here, tor instance, is an
article for the deeply afflicted; a black crape, expressly 1
adapted to the profound style of mourning; makes up
verv sombre and interesting. Or, if you prefer to mourn
velvet, here’s a very ricli one; real Genoa, and a splen
did black; we call it she ‘ Luxury of Woe.’ It’s only
eighteen shillings a yard, and a superb quality ; tit, in
short, for the handsomest style of domestic calamity.”
Here the squire wants to know “ whet her sorrow gets
more superfine as it goes upward ::i life.
“ Certainly—yes, Sir—by all all means,” responds
the clerk; “at least, a liner texture. The mourning of
poor people is very course, very ; quite different lroiti
that of jiersons of quality. Canvas to crape, Sir.”
The lady next asks if he lias a variety of half-mourn
ing; to which he replies:
“ t>, infinite—the largest stock in town; full, and half,
and quarter, and hall-quarter mourning, shaded oif
fioiu a yrlf p, -n.-n.ce to the slightest nuanc of regret.”
The lady is directed to another counter, and introduc
ed to “ the gent, who superintends the Intermediate
Sorrow Department; ‘ who inquires:
“You wi-h to inspect some halt-mourning, Madam?
the second stage of distress? As such, Ma’am, allow me
tn recommend this satin—intended for grief when it has
subsided; alleviated, you see, Ma’am, from a dead black
to a dull lead color. It's a Par.s.an novelty, NL am,
called * Settled Grief,’ and is very much worn by ladies
of a certain agaf who do not intend to embrace Hymen
a second time.”
“ Old women, may!tap, about seventy,” mutters the
Squire.
** Exactly so sir, or thereabout. Not but what some
ladies. Ma’am, set m for sorrow much earlier; indeed,
in the prime of life; and for such eases it is a very du
rable wear; but pr'aj.s it’s too hujubre ; now 1 lore’s
another—not exactly black, but shot with a warmish
tint, to suit a woe moderated by time. Toe 1 ranch
call it a ‘Gleam ofOowfort.’ We’ve sold several pieces
of it; its very attractive; we consider it the happiest
pattern of the season.
“Yes,” once more interposes the Squire; “some ,
people are verv happv in it, no doubt.”
“No doubt. Sir. Thera’s a charm in melancholy.
Sir. I’m loud of the pensive my sell. Praps, M.iuui.
\ou would prefer something st.f! more in the transition
Stale, as we call it, from grave to gay. In that easy, i
would recommend this lavender Dncape, with only just
u souvenir of sorrow ii\ it *
ing, to distinguish it from th<-garb ol pleasure. But
possible you desire to see an appropriate style ol cos
tume for ihcjuA eiiife biau-itcs, when sorrow their young
days lias shaded ? Os course a milder degree of mourn
ing tliau for adults. Black would be precocious. 1 liis.
Ma’am, for instance —a da:k pattern on gray; an inter
esting dress Ma am, ler a littlegill, just initiated iti the
vale of tears: only t i Dce a ytn .l, Ma am, and
warranted to wash.”
The “latci mediate So; row Department,” however,
derives no patronage from ti e “hard customer; and
we next find her iu the “Coiffure Department, ’ looking
at caps, and ime: rogalit.ga show-woman in deep mourn
ing, who is in attendance, and enlarging ii;*u< the beau
ty of her fabrics: “This is the newest style. Ma'am. —
Affliction is verv much irt demized, and admits pi moie
‘/tut than formerly. Sme ladies, indeed, for their
morning grief we. r rather a pi oiler cap; bttt Cu
evenin'* sorrow, this is not s.f all 100 orue . 1 , ecch j
t.is;e has introduced rery considerable alleviation-..’
Failing, however, iu “setting her eujs for the new
customer, the show-.vomau “tries the hamikerchiel”
enticement; exhibiting one with a fringe of artificj*.;

Tin- Squire intimates that as a handkeremef t <>■’ tse,l,
it would most likely be found “ rather scrubby’ for the
eves.” . But the show-woman removes .h:s objection;
“ O dear, no, isir—if you mean wiping Ihe wet style
of grief is quite gone nut —quite! iiie dry cry is de
cidedly the genteel thing. ’
No wonder that the Squire, as be left the establish
ment with his “ better-half,” was lain to exclaim:
“ Humph! And so that's a Mason de DooL YY ell.
if it’s all the same to you, Ma'am, I’d rather uie in the
country, and bo universally lamented after the old
fashion. ‘■—// r/tt's J lau-tzin*.

The Reginninz of a Biter.
hen I was a small boy, 1 was very fond of playing
marbles. 1 had no pn u* tor the game, and lost time i
offe wr th ui 1 won. 1 Avas not care in, and would enter
I as readily with a firstrat* player as tvitfi any “of my
I oqu is. By uicl bv I began to grow tired of losing,
j and always spending my pocket-: nuiev to replenish my
stock. 1 gntmhltsl aloud. Then came a sensible ad-
I visoc. A boy of the world—of. he marble world—which
: was as much to me Then as ilie kingdom overthrowing
j wor din w hich 1 now live. Hie sage teacher told me
j his experience, lie had once been foolish like myself;
j now he was wise. He said 1 tnus: never play with any
i but my inferiors, or reckless fellows who .Acre iudiH'er-
J ent about 10.-ing; while I m ist never to -get myself, aiul
! indifferent about uln ,hig. He sail I must m.t
make a C.cl of my sell by being liberal with the privile
| g s os: he gam , but keep every boy up to the mark.—
lie did no: advise any posi!ive rascaliiv, but he led me
s;> near .he borders, that I hat a mil v e\v of the realms
of dishonesty. However, I followed his counsels. M a
pockets w. re empty from a recent deteat, and he le-.it
me a few marbles to begin the world with. That nfoht,
1 wen* home out of debt, with a nice little stock ohm’
own iri lire jacket-pocket. 1 had quickly caught the
idea of t* new system, and every dav 1 managed it
” _ RT't'ater skill. I became ten times’ mote fond than
cai iot 14; guile, but it was not a pleasing fondness, i
v. as 1:0 Ifffigvr amused. A feverish excitement took the
place (4 my former qmet enjoyment. But 1 improved
wonderfully I learned to shoot well, and s.aoi, took
the ni-st rank among second-rate players; but l stood
dfar 11 Ik,th equals and superiors, ailhongli 1 had the
boast that I could win more marbles than ;mv of them.
1 played win t ivas called a <■■,,€ licit,y game.* I risked
nothing for the glory ot a splendid shoi. Mv eve was
a,ware on the “ main chance;” my glory wa’t dropping
the additional marble into mv pocket ut'the end of eaefi
in< ’’ And 1 did drop them mat a round rate. At
lirst I carried all my winnings in my pockets, but these
sinn overflowed. Then I used a private draw er at
home, lor a sale; but I soon began to consider die in
security of the place, so I made a long narrow bag to
co .tain mt board. To this bag I went every evening
to deposit my winnings. But 1 did not g-> out in th**
1:101. dug widmut taking a look to see if all was right,
and gaze at its swelling projiortions. 1 liked to squeeze
it in my hand to g- 1 a pivqier idea of its increasing bulk,
and 1 s.iinefiincs shook it up and down to hear the hea
vy rattle of -iic-h a mass of marbles!
Now, vv.ls I truly happy under this excitement ? 1
.eel convinced, in tracing buck my recollections, that 1
was not. My mind was uctiveh employed on the one
and a from morning till nijht, and I certainly felt the wil
dest tlelight in re. timing home with well-tilled pockets ;
but 1 hud lost the feeling of dignity which I formerly
[to'sessed, tv lien I used to enter the game with the best
|>layers, ancl show myself liberal toward inferiors. But
lor this ftvling, f had a.substitute with which to console
myself. I gloried in my own cunning, mv world!v wis
dom, and laughed in my sleeve at the simplicitv of the
loosers. 1 chuckled at the thought tlia! I, by mv supe
rior tactics, could enter a game, in which lack \vas vul
g.u l v supposed t lx* the greatest element, with the pos
itive certainly of winning largely in ilie long run.—
Moreover, I had another pouL.ee for my conscience. I
was s:ric:ly honest, according to the laws of our mar
ble Avorld. It is true that I would teinjtt boys youn
ger than myself to play ; that I would tempt a losing
adversary to continue longer than he intended, and if he
grew n -rrous and desjie: ate, woultl nurse his excitement
and win from him by wholesale; that I would receive
favors in ihe way of relaxation of the strict rules of the
seme, and yet never grant any iu return; but I was
siill careful of mv moral constitution. 1 would not play
Avith a very small boy, even if coaxed, nl hough 1 took
care‘.o let my companions know how often l was sub
ripi'ed in such temptation. 1 never slipped my marble
nearer the mui k, and never tried to take two shots when
only entitled to one. There are ragged, dirty-faced fel
lows, whose homes are down dark alleys, who would
sometimes dodge around the play-ground and steal our I
marbles by slipping them between their toes. For the
crini sos these wretches, I felt the utmost horror. I
made stjeeches to mv companions, to ihe effect tha: the
whole Marble-World would come to an end if such ter
rible villainy were not put down. I thus acquired it
line reputation. 1 was the enemy of disorder. 1 ueiiL
er eh -iietl nor encouraged others in cheating. The very
■ **pockets 1 bad emptied, testilied to mv i‘aii-j
dealing. 1 rue, there were a le'A’ clear-sighted fellows
who sneered once iu a while at m v seeming fairness, I
and denounced my real meanness; but as these same
censors would at another time come to me with propo
sals to enter into partnership, I cured but little for their
opinions. In laci, 1 pitied them, as persons whose mor
al natures were depraved, and reviewed mv own con
stant equanimity wiih a sumt-likc feeling ol satisfaction.
\\ ithout a doubt, it there hail been a Boy-Church in
this Marble-W orld, l could have sat in mv own pew,
dropjied a marble into the collection for the benefit of
the boys whose pockets I had helped to emptv, applied
the texts blessing the charitable to myself, and the texts
denouncing the avaricious to my neighbors, and in fine,
regarded inysell as oueof the elect; but for ail this, as
i said before, I was not truly happy. —Pittahurj S-Uur

R t Dive Lot's Incident.—The following incident, which
oceuned at the baptism of Daniel Webster, is taken
from mi article in the New York Courier and Enquirer:
“Tin* day was bright and beautiful, and the follow
ing incident is told to show how readily certain persons
can step from what they would have us think the sub
lim *, to what others laugh at as ridiculous.
There was a lady of the congregation by the name of
Mrs. Clay, doub less an excellent woman, but she was
proud, and passionately fond of dress and display.
Iter bonnet was one of the most ample dimensions,
and at this particular time it was in that respect at the
very extreme of fashion. It was moreover bedecked
with a large veil, numerous beaus of ribbons and Lath
ers, and among which a fresh wind created a deal ofj
fluttering. The ceremony of the altar being over, this j
lady as she was accustomed to do on such occasions j
when the parties were sufficiently respectable, assumed
promiuent position in the blond aisle as the congrega
tion was leaving the house, and there waited until the |
Rev. Air. Jsearle, Col. Webster, and Ids lady came along, |
that she might speak to them, especially to congratu-l
late the latter on the interesting event that had just I
transpired. Having made lc-r compliments to the par
ty and {Kitted Daniel on the cheeks, she walked along
by the stately parson across the green. In the midst oi
the salutations of the pompous clergyman to her lady
ship, a mi -chievous daw of 'ind struck her bonnet and
I carried i! away floating like a balloon on the breeze,
whirling and R aping down the hill-side. Mrs. Clay, of
course, was anxious for the fate of her best bonnet, and
spoke to the parson.
The j arson, of • sirse, condescendingly strutted after
it, but he could not so far unbend his dignity as to run
in the pres.-ac *of his congregation. His walk was not j
sufficiently rapid to overtake the bonnet. She again
appealed to him, at the same time following close to his
heels.
“ Reverend, sir, do stop my bonnet, it will be min
ed !”
The parson increased his strides, and as it hung by a
twig, came near capturing it; away it went again.—
She then concentrated into her voice and manner, ull
pathos—
“ Do, Reverend and dear sir, be so good as to hasten
on and slop my bonnet; what shall Ido ?”
The clergyman now extending his strides to the ut
most extent of his long legs, and was on the la-test walk
which dignity would permit, but the bonnet still whirl
ed and twitched on beyond Ids reach; destruction
seemed inevitable; her patience was exhausted; she
threw aside all restraint, aud at the top of her voice, for
getting the dignity of the pat son, she cried out—
“Seaile, you >ifU </ ,u, why don’t you run?”
The appeal spurred him into a ki n, by which he
caught tiie truant bonnet and restored it to the half’
frantic lady. The nice down meeting house hill, by the
Rev. Mr. fecit He and Mrs Clay, in pursuit of the bonnet,
will never be forgotten.

My collection of Peaches contains, at present, about
seventy varieties, amongst which are many valuable
kinds, mostly seedlings of Southern origin, which will
require another year's trial before I can recommend
them to the public. I have not the least doubt but
what in a few years I will be able to supply varieties,
so as to ripen in succession, from tbe beginning of June
to the middle of November. All my trees are grafted
on native slocks. ROBERT NELSON.
