* PLATONIC LOVE.
BY f. S. PERCIVAL.
0! tell me, maiden, some sweet name
For that sweet lie which binds u> ;
That, kindred to love’s atdent flame,
Vet of no (>ain reminds us ;
A love, but not of passion born—
The rose of love without the thorn.
It is a fresh anil rosy dawn,
The dull noon ne’er attaining;
A dew, ave sparkling o'er the lawn ;
A tuung niiHiu never waning;
A flower that blooms a hundred years,
Vei swei.t r, brighter still appears ;
A tide that never ebbs, but flows
With melody unceasing;
A star no culminating knows,
Vet still its light increasing—
Ah ! tell me, maiden, whence it came,
A love so sweet without the name.
We parted, and no bitter tears
From tortured hearts were flowing
No thwarted hopes, no anxious fears,
Our calmness overthrowing.
Each knew no rival heart couid win
The love each fondly trusted iu.
Through years of absence, far away,
Thy presence, near me beaming.
Inspired my sweetest thoughts by day,
liy night my sweetest dreaming;
And welt 1 knew ilia I memory
kept bright thy loving thoughts of me.
We met, and from thy proffered lips
Mine found a blissful greeting;
Thy lover’s joy could scarce eclipse
The rapture of that meeting;
Vet might he all my bli-s have seen,
Nor felt one jealous pang, I ween.
The sun may love the I’arsee most,
Nor seoni the adoration
Os any wouderer ocean tossed,
Who brings a pure oblation—
And thou an evermore as free
To smile with loving beams on me.
Thy kindness, when not all were kind,
Thy faiih, when some believed not,
Thy truth, which, though the false maligned,
My trusting heart deceived not —
These wove that blessed tie of yore.
Which can be sundered never more.
James Pipes’ Musical Criticisms.
“ Having heard these two illustrious singers, Sontag
and Atbonv, wee proposed to gi'e the pnblick the bett
iiit of our opinion, premising tirst that the turms we
make use of will l>e understood by our readers. Alhony,
from the fust, stiuck us hard, but did not hurt us; her
voice, guggling up os it does from the innermost depths
of her resplendent bosom, frizzled in dreamy voluptu
ousness through the warbling kader.ses of her match
less organ, satisfying us that it wos a buitraltti ot the
highest order. Her inverted distances are really im
mense, and the ease w ith witch ihe roolards of the defi
nite Fifth, coining on the dominant, are worked so that
tilt- mezzotiuto quality is artlessly swollen in the inver
ted passage, taking in its compass three octaves, four
flutes and flageolet. She sings 11. w ith perfect distinc
tion, and her low A wos very line indeed. Her shake
resembled the feathery flickering of some ortumnal bird,
as it glides through the adamantine meandering* of
some ori.othological meadow ; w i le her sus'enooto died
away upon the left ear like the magic humming of a
lais. mcflilinous bee. We never shall forget it. Son
tag. on the contrary, makes us almost like Marvel, pos
m “!i _r, as shedus, a voice of such fleksrbilily using no
) -'mi sto astonish her orditary. She ran up theKro
inatii scale, taking the double stops and accidental fif
tceoths iu one breath ; while the tripley warblingness
of her descending passage wos received with perfect de
light. She evidently belongs to a good school -say
,-ib-r Institute. The few-roar she created in that
gem of Doctor Arne, ‘ Tin SI Her T-red ts Lstsiny his
Arum,’ wos orful; so mnch so that we feered the
Light Gard would have been korled in. We made otir
mind up that her voice could be herd with ease at the
farthest end of Hall and Son’s, Broadway; and that
her powers of extenuating a note for sixty or ninety
days had never been fully tried. Her shake on the
dominant key of K miner left us nothing more to de
sire ; and her kadence, as she took the major cord E in
the undn tmtjf ajfetnom eon a more alleyro ot/ libitum pas
-■ ■ . drew down thunders of applause. She made a
grate hit.”
Ik. Marvel and old “ Corinth.”
The editor of the Knickerbocker attributes the fol
ic.* mg to Ik. Marvel, and it is certainly w orthy of him;
i ast evening, as we were walking leisurely along,
the music of the choirs in three churches came floating
out into the darkness around us, and they w ere all new
and strange tunes but one. And that one it was not
sung as w e have heard it, but it awakened a train of
h t .-buried memories, that rose to ns even as they were
before the cemetery of the soul had a tomb iu it.
“It was sweet old ‘Corinth’ they were singing;
(•’rains we have seldom heard since the rosecolor of life
” i- branched ; and we were in a moment back again
t ’h. old village church, and it was a summer aftcr-
Ui-.n, and they ellowsnn-beams were streaming through
ii.- west windows, and the silver hair ofilie old Deacon
who sat near the pulpit was turned to gold in its light,
ami the minister, who we lists! to think could never die,
so good was he, had concluded ‘ application’ and ‘ex
hortation,’ and the village-choir were singing the last
hymn, and the tune was —Corinth.
“It is years —we dare not think how many—since
th i, ‘the pravers of David the son of Jessee are ended,
the choir are scattered and gone. The girl with
blue eyes that sang alto, and the girl with black eyes
that sang air, the eves of the one were like a clear June
heaven at night and those of the other like the same
heaven at noon. They both became wives, and both
im- tiers, and they both died. V\ bo shall say they are
not singing * Corinth’ still, w here Sabbaths never wane,
auii congregations never break up! There they sat
•Sabbath after Sabbath, by the squ ire column at the
right of the ‘leader,’ and to our young eves they were
passing beautiful, and ’o our young ears their tones
were the very ‘soul of music.’ Thai column bears still
their pencilled names, as they wrote them in those
day -in life’s June, 1S> —, before dreams of change had
erne,line their spirit like a summers s cloud.
Alas ! that with the old singers most of the sweet
old tunes have died mon the air; but they linger in
memory, and they shall vet be sung again in the sweet
reunion of song tint shall take place by-ami-by in a hall
” ho~e columns are beams of morning light, whose ceil
ing is pure pearl, whose floors are all gold, and where
Lair never turns silvery and hearts never grow old.
‘ ‘he that sang alto, and she that sang air, will be
!: ‘ Amir places once more: lor what could the choir do
taou: them?”
Lapland.
Tlte New York Trll vnt translate from recent Russian
journals the following particulars of a country and peo
ple but little known.
“The number of the Russian Lapps does not exceed
’; lh-.se of Swedish Implant! were estimated in
• !■ at 4, •• •; and those of Northern Norway .-,,0.h —an
“s'gregute of only 11.000 souls, Besides ibe Lapn jtop

‘'si't at the ntouth of the Totiloma, a distance ot 213
“vrsts, (141 miles) there arc seven (Hist stations, the
■ i Is living carried from otic to another by reindeer,
* ” lr of which animals are kepi at each station. 1 his
,a, *L- of transport, however, is only employed in win
!i'r; in summer everything being transported first, a
few miles bv land to Lake Imandra, then the whole
feng h of that fine body of water, some 6<* miles, thence
aen.’-s to the river Totiloma, and down that stream to
i ’lu. The navigation of the Lake, by the way, is not
a '' :i ys free from danger. _
Hie language of the Lapps is similar to that of the
finris, front which race they are originally an offshoot
. “*■* Lapps iu general are of middle stature. 1 hev have
hr 4 ’ heads, short necks, small brown red eves, owing
til th - constant smoke in their huts, high-cheek bones,
tbm beards and large hands. Those of Norway are
’
ilrttmgn sh'd from the Russian I apps, by the blackness,
luxuriance and glo-s of the ha r; the more northern
p >rtion of the rice an- somewhat 1 iige , mu.-cula -. and
<f a lighter complexion than the res . Those of Swe
den and Norway ate to - .me extent more cultivated, en
j terp) ising and industrious than those if Russia, and
I make fight ot the greatest [>rivations and hardships.—
t The richest of the fatter h ive not more than s i > rein
deer, while ilte former possess from 2,** to 8,0 hi. —
| In Sir-’ ion and Norway, whoever owns from 4.M too *0
passes for a man in moderate circumstances; with •4CH)
a small family, with propier prudence, can five without
suftering from want, hut 1 --s than this number plunges
a family into ail he troubles of poverty. Whoever ins
not more than s>', adds hi-, heard to that of some
rich man, and becomes hi< servant—alinos; his slave,
and is bound in the proper season to follow him to
the minting or fishing grounds.
I ish, g line and the flesh of ihe reindeer are the
mn 1 tood itt a- i.a- ; .s. Bread thev never eat, though
of the rye meal, which they procure in Kola or of tlie
lishermen in bare r !•• the (iroduet of their rendeet
It ids, tiny make a sort of flat or pan cukes, mingling
the meal with the pounded bulk of trees. For this pur
pose the meal is fir.-t soaked in cold water, and the
cakes baked upon a hot iron. They a eca en wi h but
ter <>r codfish oil, which is esteemed a grcit luxury.—
Ine mingling ot tSi-* bark with the meal is not done
merely tor the ‘ike of economy, tfie Lapps considering
it an excellent anti-scrobuiic. They are very fond of
salt, and eat nothing uncooked. Tiieir cookery is all
done in unturned copper vessels, j>crhajis because in all
Lapland there are no (wwterers; more probably, how
ever, i: is a long -lose tided custom, since in all Northern
A-iu, the use of copper was formerly universal, and the
art of overlaying that metal could hardly be known bv
rude inhabitants. Never, helcss cases of poisoning from
the cojiper never occur, being rendered impossible bv
the perfect cleanliness of the copper vessels, which ut
ter every me,;! are scoured with simil tiil they shine
like mirrors. Besides, after the food is sufficiently
cookrtkil is immediately poured into wooden vessels of
home nianufactare.
The Norwegian and Swedish Lapps make cheese of
reindeer milk, and carefully save for use nil the whey,
Ac. They milk their animals summer and winter, and
freeze the milk which is set apart for cheese. The wo
men consider this a great luxury. It is remarkable for
its pleas nit oilor, and lias a r-adv sale in Norway at a
rathet highpt i-s-. The Russian Lapps have no idea of
making cheese from the reindeer ;-u!k, id hough the
manufacture, bevond a doubt would lx: a great advan
tage to them. Thisginilk is distinguished for its excel
lent flavor; in color and consistency it is like thick
cream from the milk of cows, and is remarkably nour
ishing,”
Tub Lady Fueecason. —Hon. Elizabeth St. Leger
was the only female who was ever initiated into the
ancient and honorable mystery id Freemasonry. How
she obtained this honor we shall lay before our readers,
premising Ihat our information is derived from the bes
sources. Lord Dotiftwile, .MissS:. Leger’sfather,*vety
zealous Mason, held a warrant, and occasionally ojtened
lixjge at Doneraile’s House, his sons and intimate friends
assisting; and it is said, that never was Masonic duties
more rigidly performed than by the brethren at No.
L‘><, the number of their warrant. It appears that pre
viously to the initiation of a gentleman to the tirst steps
of masonry, Miss St. Leger, who was a young girl,
hup; ened to be iu an aj ai linent; darming the room gene
rally used as a lodge room ; but whether the young la
dy was thereby design or accident, weemnot confident
ly sta e. The room at the time was undergoing some
alteration; among other things the wall was considera
bly reduced in one part, for the purpose of making a sa
loon. The young lady having heaid ihe voices of the
freemasons, and being prompted by the curiosity natu
ral 1o all, to see this mystery so long and so secretly
locked up fioiu public view, had the courage to pick a
brick from the wall with bet scissors, and tints witness
ed the two first steps of the ceremony.
Curiosity gratified, fcarat once took possession ofher
mind, and those who understand this passage well know
what the feelings of any person must be who eould un
lawfully behold that ceremony; let them judge what
were the feelings of a young girl under such extraor
dinary circumstances. There was no mode of eie-ipe,
except through the very room where the concluding
part of the second step was still being solemnized, at
the far end, and the room a very large one. Miss St.
Leger had resolution sutficicnt to attempt her iscape i
that way, and with light but trembling steps glided
along unobserved, luul her band u; on the liandle of ihe
door, and opening it, before her s o and, to hoi dismay,
a gritn and surly Tyler, with h s long sword un
sheathed.
A shriek that pierced tnrough the apartment, alarm
ed the members of the Lodge, who, all rushing to t hi?
door, and finding that Miss rit. Leger had been iu ihe
room during the ceremony, resolved, it is sanl, in the
paroxysm <>! their rage, to put the fair spectatress to
death ; but at the moving and earnest supplication of
her youngest brother, her life was spared on condition
of her going the two remaining steps of the solemn
ceremony she had unlawfully witnessed. This she con-’
sen ted to, and they conduct and the beautiful and terri
fied young lady through those trials which are some
times mote ihau enough fur masculine resolution, little
thinking that they were taking into the bosom of their
craft a member that would afterwards reflect a lustre on
the annals of Masonry.
Miss Sr. Leger was directly descended from Sir Rich
ard de St. Leger who accompanied William the Con
queror to England, and was ut that high repute that he
with his own had supported the prince when he tirsl
went out of hL ship to land in Su-sc\. Miss St. Leger
was cousin to General Anthony St. Leger, Governor of
St. Louis, who instituted the interesting race and cele
brated Doncaster St. Leger stakes. Eventually she
married Richard Aldworth, Esq., of Newmarket, a
member of a highL honorable and ancient family.—
Whenever a benefit was given atanv of the the theatres
in Dublin or Cork for the Masonic Female Orphan Asy
lum, Mrs. Aldworth walked at the head of ihe Freema
sons, with her apron and insignia of Freemasonry, and
sat in the front row of the stage box. The house was
always crowded on these occasions. The potrait of this
estimable woman is iu the lodge room of almost every
lodge in Ireland.
The Age of Smo.ne.—A writer for the London Fam
ily lltraLl, in an article on the use of tobacco,’thus re
fers to w hat he calls “;he age of smoke:”
It was precisely at the commencement of the present
era that smoking was introduced. The Council of Trent
was just sitting —our own ITotestautism was just lay
ing its own foundation; the people of all Europe were
just beginning to make use of the new art of printing
m contioverling every variety of subject, and circula
ting their opinions as they gradually developed them;
ami natural philosophy was just beginning to portrude
its branches, aud division to rumifv itself into sects and J
parties innumerable, when a weed was ini|>oried from |
the new world, a bitter narcotic which w as destined to j
plav a most distinguished (>art on the stage of mod
em society. This weed is really one of ihe signs of j
the times; more so than a comet oia conqueror; inner so ;
than tvi n a great philosopher or a scientific discoverer ;!
more so than even a Crystal Palace, for it is more uni
versal. Who has not seen a tobacco pij eor cigar'!— I
Who has not inhaled the vapor of the burning weed? —|
What child in all Christendom knows not the name of j
it almost as soon as he knows the name of dog or cat ? |
How rapidly it has penetrated into ail the nooks aud |
corners of society! Where books aud periodicals arej
vet unknown, there the pipe is familiar. Where reading*
aud writing have not yet been learned, the art of wno
king has been thoroughly acquired. Men delight in it, j
women indulge in it, and boys regard it as the first evi- j
dence to manhood—a substitute for wh.skcrs in the:
morning of existence. All the world now smokes, in
China tlicy smoke opium ; and in Europe and America,
and the greater lart of Asia they smoke tobacco. The
opium is the most narcotic and dreamy, and that is just
the character of the people who use it. Tiie Orientals
are all a dreamy race; the people of the west arc the
leaders of civilization. The tobacconists have ihe pre
cedence in the list of smokers. If smoke we must,
then let iis use the Nicotian. Bad as the habit of smo
king is, there is solidity in it, and men seldom quarrel
wish pq>es in their mouths.
Wealth of the United States. —The property,
real and personal, in the United States, is estimated by
the census at ifT, 188,86i,72‘i. This will make an ave
rage of between £Bo‘> anil to each individual, or
about *l,so” to each family. Considering the great
distribution of wealth in comparison with the accumu
lation of foreign wealth in few hands, this shows a de
gree of material prosperity which, we presume, no oth
er country can approach. The fourth of July taik about
our being, “as we ourselves have voted,” the trees: and
most enlightened nation on earth, is rot an idle boast.—
It is literally and strictly true. No whore else is there j
so much freedom; no where else is intelligence so
generally diffused, although in many parts of the world,
science ’ami learning is carried to a far greater -height,
no w he' - © else are the ; hysical comforts of life so wide
ly distributed among all the j toj le, and fln-sc comforts i
are ihe only sure foundation of moral and intellectual
improvement. How deeply it concerns us to guard
this great inheritance, and to transmit it as we have
received ii. Most of all can we do this by assuring the
prosperity of the country in all the peaceful ai t', in the
development of all its mighty resources ami in all its
means of contributing to human happiness and human
advancement. We cannot do it by an insane desire for
terriotri.il aggrandizement, by unscrupulous means of
extending or area, and by bad f i it with the nations
around us. Never was the course of j ower and great
ne” more plainly marked out to a people. It will b
sinning against the light of Heaven if we fail to pursue
it. Our punishment will be as well deserved as tt will
be signal Mid severe.
A Be Arm'd. Prayer.—Lord, Hess and preserve
that dear person whom thou bast chosen to be mv hus
band ; let his life be long and blessed, comfortable and
hole ; and let me nl-o become a great blessing and
comfort unto him, a sharer in all bis joys, a reireslimcnt
in all bis sorrows, a meet helper for him in all the
dents and changes of the world; make me amiable for
ever in his eves, and very dear to him. I mte his heart
to me in the dearest union ot love and holiness, anil mine
to him in all sweetness, charity, and compliance, n-eep
me from ail ungentleness, all disintcre.-eedness, and hu
mor; and make me humble and obedient, useful anil
observant, that we may delight in each other according
to thy blessed word and ordinance, and both ot us may
rejoice in Thee, having our portion in the love and sei
vice of God forever. —lSusii AT nt tyue. t
