THE GIPSY.
BY MARY F. KYLE.
' All adown the tangled wildwood,
When the sultry day was past.
Roamed a gallant youth and maiden
'Mid the shadows gathering fast.
Where the flow’riug sweet-briar bushes
Fluttered in the evening breeze,
Sat an aged gipsy woman
'Neath two old and twisted trees.
“Cross my hand with silver, lady
Spoke the gipsy ’neath the tree,
“And I'll tell thy fortune truly,
Truly tell it unto thee.’’
In the gipsy’s nut-brown fingers
Shelias placed her own so white,
And the youth has spoken, “Gipsy,
See thou tell’st the tale aright.”
Light the task, thou dark old gipsy,
To obey the youth’s behest;
For his smile told half the story,
And her blushes told the rest.
She has said “those taper fingers
>Sooii the bridal ring shall wear;’’
She lias drawn a picture truly
Of the youth who standeth there.
Now th i gold and crimson sunset
Sinks into the silv’ry sea,
Homeward roam the youth and maiden
To the cottage on the lea.

SUMMER FRIENDS.
BY FREDERICK S. COZZEXS.
“When spring the fields in daisies dressed
And flushed the woods with maple buds,
I spied the little blue bird’s nest
Within a cedar’s branchy studs.
“Its old gray grass, inlaid with hair,
The summer’s sun had withered up,
And autumn’s acorns still were there,
Though snows had brimmed its tiny clip;
“What then? I heard a pilgrim hymn;
And half forgave the long neglect,
When perched upon the threshold rim
A little feathered architect.
“And straw by straw the walls lie wrought,
And hair by hair the floor he spread;
And when his blue-bird wife he brought,
They slept within the nuptial bed.
“Oh! how I loved my prauksome guest!
For him I loved his help-mate too;
With jealous care I fenced their nest.
And watched them as they sang or tiew.
“8o April passed; and gentle May
Went murmuring by with leaves and bees;
And two small bine-winged chicks had they
When summer broadened on the trees.
“My very solitude had made
That tiny household seem more sweet;
And often to the bank I strayed
To watch the nestlings chirp and eat.
“But when the palsied autumn came,
And shook the houghs, and bared the wood.
I scarce the feathered brood could blame,
Though void their puny wigwam stood:
“For summer friends had come like these,
Like these the summer friends had flown;
When stormy winter stripped the trees,
Thev left the cold and me alone.”

“I L O V E Y O U.”
BY MRS. A DENNISON.
Who do you suppose said it?
No! She was very beautiful, with her
cheek of rose-hue, and the curling auburn
tresses that the wind sports with so gallan
tly; hut she did not say it. Nettli at bright
creature by whose side stands a lover,
looking so tenderly in those glorious eyes.
Nor yet the dimpled babe with elierub
face, lifted to the more mature, but not
less innocently sweet features,with the holy
light of mother glorifying ever smile.
Then who do you suppose said it?
Wrong again. Not that newly wedded
husband, whose home for a few fleeting
months he has aptly called heaven—full
of smiles and tenderness, and oft repeated
vows flitting like birds of Paradise in rain
bow plumage; where a pretty, white-robed
being, with girlish-matronly air, glides
about the neat kitchen, making with her
own hands the snowy bread. Where,when
the odious shop is closed, he comes home
with a bounding heart, and sitting with her
hand in his, rove with a pair of brown eyes,
over his favorite paper, every little, while
stooping to snatch a kiss from the red lips
so close to his cheek. Although he whis
pers many times of love, yet this “I love
you” was not spoken then and there.
A third woman sits hushing to sleep her
nestling babe. Beauty mice made, that
face radiant, perhaps, but all its beauty has
gone m w. The blue eye is dim and fad
ed—the whole expression sorrowful—the
pale brow covered with lines of care. Per
haps, with that far-off look of hers, she
sees three little graves, green with as many
summers.
Her house is very humble—all day has
she toiled, and the fainting spirit almost
surrenders to fatigue, the downcast eyes
tremble in tears—she is so weary. And
every nerve twinges when the “boys” come
hungry from school, some with weeping
and tales of sorrow that mother must
hear.
And after they are hushed with kisses
orchidings, it is time to get supper for
seven hungry mouths; and then the ac
customed ne\ er-ending routine of putting
away and clearing up, till the worn-out
creature wonders with a sigh if there really
will ever come a rest to her, an eternal
rest.
At last she can seat her weary limbs in
the old corner rocking chair. The babe,
whose eyes close fitfully to a low lullaby,
lies in his father’s lap. He is a plain man,
that good father, with an honest face, and a
great heart, that would ifit could, take
in all the care and sorrow of the house
hold.
The babe sleeps. With a rude gentle
ness he lays it on its mother’s bosom, and
as the ruddy firelight [days over her care
worn features, he looks upon her with eyes
suddenly grown lustrous and beautiful. He
lifts his great hand softly, till it rests on her
shoulder, as lie says—
“I lore you, dear Mary.”
How the poor heart leaps into love, light
and rest! How vanish the cares that trod
upon her very soul! She no more remem
bers that toilsome washing. She reflects
not now that the pretty babe, with its pink
flushed cheek against her breast, has worn
her patience threadbare with its constant
tears and unrest. She forgets that the fire
would smoke—that the broth was burnt—
that the children teased her—that the line
broke, and that every limb in her frame
ached with fatigue.
What were these in comparison with the
steadfast love that had burned for eighteen
years in the sunlight of happiness, through
the clouds of despair, when beauty made
her winning, and when her charm of lovli-
ness had gone, and the freshness of her
youth departed forever? What cared she
for anght outside her home, though she had
many sorrows,while such words thrilled her
whole being?
“I love you, dear Mary.”
Ah! you long married, repining hus
bands, wlio exact every attention as a du
ty—how much would it cost you to make
your home thus beautiful with all its cares?
I tell you one word of lore will loosen
great burdens from the shoulders of the
toiling woman you eall wife. Try it. Go
home some night, and look upon her with
the eyes of Jong ago. For one little mo
ment think how great trials iriic took into
her heart when she married you. Then
tenderly clasp her ltand, and as she looks
with wonder-opened eyes, say to her in a
low and steady voice, not carelessly, nor
sportively, hut earnestly, “I lore you."
Trust me, it will be to her and you both,
“better than diamonds.”
THE MISER AND HIS BAG OF GOLD.
Hawoja Yacoob was accustomed to sit
by his money-bag, wishing that some great
spirit would endow it with the marvellous
qualities of Fortunatus’s purse. One
night the voice of the great bulbul was
echoing louder than ever through the des
olate old castle, and the miser’s heart
trembled with anxiety and fear. Some
how or other, he had a secret presenti
ment that all was not right—that some un
seen evil hung suspended over his head in
the air. ‘I)rat the bird!’ quoth the miser.
‘Her hateful song draws silly people forth
from their houses, even at this late hour,
till darkness and the terror connected
with this neighborhood are fast being over
come. Drat the bird!’
“A v. aye! What’s that you say?” growl
ed a deep unmelodious voice close to the
startled miser’s ear. “Drat the bird, sir?
Why that bird is our sovereign lady the
Queen of the Forest.”
The trembling old man could scarcely'
gasp for breath, as clutching tight with
both hands his favorite sack of gold, he
looked fearfully over Iris shoulders, and
saw a face and head without any body,
floating in the middle of the room, with a
pair of dreadfully ghastly-looking eyes,
staring at him full in the face.
‘That’s my gold!’ ( quoth the head, with
a terrible oath. Now, although the miser
was ready to faint away with fright, the
hare idea of relinquishing his darling trea
sure brought him to his senses again; so he
stoutly denied that any one but himself
had the ghost of a title to a farthing’s val
ue of what he possessed.
‘But I do,’ said the head. ‘I lay claim
to all the gold in the world; and, to prove
to you that I am correct, I’ll bet you that
there are fifty millions of billions of doub
loons iu that sack, and a hundred million
times as many more.’
‘I take the bet,’ was tbe miser’s reply,
as hia heart leapt for joy again, so confi
dent was he of success.
Well, it took him a long time to count
before he came to within fifty doubloons of
what he knew the sack ought to contain—
now he only wanted ten—now only five
now one, and still the sack was as cramful
of doubloons as ever.
‘There is some cheating here,’ quoth
the miser ‘I wont count any more.’
‘You dare stop, and see what I’ll do to
you,’ was the ogre’s terrific reply.
And so so the wretched miser went on
counting and counting, and never came to
the bottom of that sack, though, heaven
only knows, how many long years; and
when the last crumbling ruins of his tene
ment fell in, people came to graze their
cattle in the neighborhood; hut the shep
herds could never be induced to remain
there overnight, because they said the
noise of people counting money, and let
ting coins drop and tingle again on the old
stones, was really too awful to listen to,
especially if the night proved to be partic
ularly dark and stormy.
Railways in the Night.—There is con
siderable fear on the subject of night trav
elling on railways, that to a certain extent,
is the result of prejudice, or unreasonable
fear. It ought to bo remembered, how
ever, that many sources of danger are
avoided in the night. As the Albany
Register remarks, “all work upon the
track is stopped. Comparatively few oth
er trains are ou the road. Very few cat
tle, carriages, or persons, are upon the
road. No draw bridge would ever be
likely to be open iu the night. Switches
art- more likely to be right than at other
times, as they are not in use for other
trains, and are locked. The signals made
for the night trains being made lights
would scarcely fail to be observed and
obeyed, and, what is more important, they
would be seen at a greater distance than
aiiy other signal in day-light. The en
gineer has less to attract his attention than
in the day time.”
Remarkable Prophecy!—Friar Bacon,
who was bom in the year 1214, thus re
markably prophesied:
“Bridges unsupported by arches, will
be made to span the foaming current. Man
shall descend to the bottom or the ocean,
safely breathing and treading with firm
step on the golden sands never brightened
by the light of day. Call but the secret
powers of Sol and Luna irtto action and
behold a single steerman, sitting at the
helm guiding the vessel which divides the
waves with greater rapidity than if she had
been filled with a crew of mariners toiling
at the oars, and the loaded chariot, no
longer encumbered by the panting steeds,
shall dart on its course with resistless force
and rapidity. Let the simple elements do
thy labro; hind the eternal elements, and
yoke them to the same plow.” “Here,”
sax-s a certain writer, “is poetry and phil
osophy wound together, forming a pon
derous chain of prophecy.”
Slang Phrases.—Among the many
“bye-words that are used now-a-days, that
have great popularity (!) or are still in
vogue, are the exclamation—“Hip-tedoo-
dle,” “Let or rip,,’ “Dry up,” “Nothing
shorter,” “Over the left,” “I shant do any
thing else,” Sac. We have recently heard
of a young lady using this latter phrase in
a very ridiculous manner. She had a beau
tiful and very showy ring on her finger.
A friend asked her if she intended to wear
it to church. She replied—“I shan’t wear
anything else!"
ADVICE
In Bome advice to conanaqplivea.
Dr. Hall says:
“Eat all yon can digest, and exercise
a great deal in the open air, to convert
what yon eat into pure healthful blood.—
Do not be afraid of out-door air, day or
night. Do not he afraid of sudden changes
of the weather; let no change, hot or cold
keep you iu doors. If it is rainy weather,
the more need for your going out, because
you eat as much on a rainy day as upon a
clear day, and if you exercise less, that
much more remains in the system of what
ought to be thrown of by exercise, and
some ill result, some consequent symptom,
or ill feeling is the certain issue.
If it is cold out of doors, do not muffle
your eves, mouth and nose in furs, veils,
woolen comforters, aud the like; nature
has supplied yoti with the best muffler,
with the best, inhaling regulator, that is,
two lips; shut them before yon step out of
a warm room in the cold air, and keep
them shut until you have walked briskly
a few rods and quickened the circulation
a little; walk fast enough to keep off a
feeling of chilliness, and taking cold will
be impossible. What are the facts of the
case: look at railroad conductors, going out
of a hot air into the piercing cold of win
ter and in again every five or ten minutes,
and yet they do not take cold oftener than
others; you will scarcely find a consump
tive man in a thousand of them.
It is wonderful how afraid consumptive
people are of fresh air, the very thing that
would cure them, the only obstacle to a
cure being that they do not get enough of
it; and yet what infinite pains they take
to avoid breathing it, especially if it is
cold; when it is known that the colder the
air the purer it must be; yet if people can
not get to a hot climate, they will make
an artificial one, and imprison themselves
for a whole winter in a warm room, with a
temperature not varying ten degrees in six
months; all such people die, and yet we
follow in their footsteps. If I were seri
ously ill of consumption, I would live out
of doors day and night, except it was
raining or mid-winter, then I would sleep
in an unplastered log house.
My consumptive friends, you want air,
not physic; you want pure air not medica
ted air, you want nutrition, such as plen
ty of meat aud bread will give, and they
alone; physic lias no nutriment, gaspings
for air cannot cure you; monkey capers in
a gymnasium cannot cure you, and stimu
lants cannot cure .you. If you want to
get well, go in for beef and out door air,
and do not he deluded into the grave by
newspaper advertisements, and undefina-
ble certifiers.
How to Begin Business.—One of the
wealthiest merchants of New York city
tells us how he commenced business:
I entered a store and asked if a clerk
was not wanted. ‘No,’ in a rough tone,
was the answer, all being too busy to
bother with me—when 1 reflected that if
they did not want a clerk, they might want
a laborer; but I was dressed too fine for
that. I west to my lodgings, put on a
rough garb, and the next day went into the
same store and demanded if they did not
want a porter, and again, ‘No, sir,’ was the
response—when I exclaimed, in despair
almost, ‘A laborer? Sir, I will work at
any wages. Wages is not my object I
must have employment, and I want to be
useful in business.’ These last words at
tracted their attention; and in the end I
was hired as a laborer in the basement
and subcellar at a very low pay, scarcely
enough to keep body and soul toge ther.—
In the basement and snbcellar I soon at
tracted the attention of the counting-house
and chief clerk. I saved enough for my
employers in little things wasted to pay
my wages ten times over, and they soon
found it out. I did not let anybody about
commit petty larcenies without remon
strance and threats of exposure, nntl real
exposure if remonstrance would not do.
If I was wanted at 3 A. 3L, I never
growled, hut told every body to go home,
‘and I will see everything right.’ I load
ed off at day-break packages for the morn
ing boats, or carried them myself. In
short, I soon became indispensable to my
employers, and I rose, and rose, until I be
came fiend of the house, with money e-
nough as you see, to give me any luxury
or any position a mercantile man can de
sire for himself and children in this great
city.
Prejudice.—All men are apt to have a
conceit of their own understanding, to he
tenacious of the opinion they profess; and
yet almost all men are guided by the un
derstandings of others, not by their own;
and may be said more truly to adopt than
beget their opinions. Nurses, parents, pe-
dagougues, and after them all, and above
them all, that universal pedagogue, cus
tom, fill the mind with notions which it
has no share in framing, which it re
ceives as passively as it receives the
impressions of outward objects, and
which left to itself, it would never have
framed, perhaps, or would have examined
afterwards. Thus prejudices are estab
lished by education, and habits by cus
tom. We are taught to think what oth
ers think, not how to think for ourselves;
and whilst the memory is loaded, the un
derstanding remains unexercised, or exer
cised in such trammels as constrain its mo
tions, and direct its pace, till that which
was artificial becomes in sort natural: and
the mind can go no further. It may sound
oddly, but it is true in many cases, to say
that if men had learned less, their way to
knowledge would be shorter and easier.—
It is, indeed, shorter and easier to proceed
from ignorance to knowledge, than from
error. They who are in the last condition
must unlearn, before they can learn to any
good purpose; and the first of this docile
task is not, in many respects, the least
difiicult for which reason it is seldom un
dertaken.
Printers' Toasts.—At the Franklin Fes
tival at Lowell, the following were among
the toasts or sentiments proposed and
heartily applauded:
The Printer, the Master of all trades.—
He beats the farmer with his fast Hoe, the
carpenter with his rules, and the mason in
setting up tall columns', he surpasses the
lawyer and doctor in attending to his case,
and heats the parson in his management of
the "Devil."
True Progress.—Subscriptions in ad
vance!
Old. Fogyism.—Owing a printer’9 hill!
The City of Lowell.-Her fame is world
wide and her heart democratic, for she cot
tons to all creation!
“Sweethearts and Wives.''-Forms which
printers ever delight to lock up; ■ when
furniture and quoins are plenty, numerous
small editions may be worked off with much
profit and satisfaction!
Our Revolutionary Fathers.-Like good
printers they locked up the forms of the
Tories and double leaded the British Col
umns!
