THE ACCEPTED.
I thank you for that downcast look,
Aud for that blushing cheek ;
I would not have you raise your eyes,
I would not have you speak ;
Though mute I deem you eloquent;
I ask no other sign,
While thus your little hand remains
Confidingly in mine.
I know you fain would hide from me
The tell tale tears that steal
Unbidden forth, aud half betray
The anxious fears you feel;
From friends long tried and dearly loved,
The plighted bride must part:
The freely weep—I could not love
A cold, unfeeling heart.
I know you love your fottagehome.
\5'here, in the summer time.
Your hand has taught the clematis
Around the porch to climb ;
Yon casement with the wild-rose screen,
Yon little garden, too,
How many fond remembrances
Endear them all to you!
You sigh to leave your mother's roof,
Though on my suit she smiled,
And spurning every selfish thought.
Gave up her darling child ;
Sigh ont for her, she now may claim
Kind deeds from more than one ;
She'll gaze upon her daughter’s smiles,
Supported by her son !
I thank you for that look—it speaks
Reliance on iny truth ;
And never shall urtkiudness wound
Your unsuspecting youth;
If fate should frown, and anxious thoughts
Oppress your husband’s mind,
O never fear to cling to m6—
I could not be unkind.
Come to my borne : your bird shall have
As tranquil a retreat;
Your dog shall find a resting place,
And slumber at your feet;
And while you turn your spinning-wheel,
Oh let me hear you sing,
Or I shall think you cease to love
Your little golden ling.
Matrimony.—A man may be cheerful and con
tented in celibacy but I do not think he can ever
be happy; it is an unnatural state, and the best
feelings of his nature arc never called into action.
The risks of marriage are for the greater part on
the woman’s side ; women have so little the pow
er of choice, that it is not fair to say that they arc
less likely to choose well than we are: deceived in
the attachments they form, and their opinion con
cerning men are less accurate than men's opinion
of their sex. Now, if a lady were to reproach me
for having said this, I should only reply that it
was another mode of saying there are more good
wives it: the world than there are good husbands,
which I verily believe. I know ot nothing which
a good and sensible man is so certain to find if he
looks for it, as a good wife.—Robert Southey.
55 r e are bound to confess that it seems to us
that there is much sense in the above. Matrimo
ny is a great subject. Among young people it is
a constant theme of conversation, and they never
weary in talking about it. \5’hether in the draw
ingroom, the street, at moonlight, at public gath
erings, in the cars, the boats, the ball-room, the
euchre table, the dinner table, or in promending,
it still is the largest thread in the loom of chit
chat. 5Vell, it is a glorious theme. It involves
many considerations. For our part we are not
stinted in talking about it, but when Hymen’s
golden totch is about to be lighted, we think of
smoke and “blue blazes.”
All men arc not born free and equal, but with
a propensity to grumble, and a right fo gratify
that inherent property of their nature. Each in
dividual fancies his own fate the hardest. Moore
complained and whimpered iu this way :
“I never had a dear gazelle
To glad me with its soft black eye,
But, when it learned to know me well,
And loved me, it was sure to die.”
To which another miserable mortal adds his own
experience in this lngudous bleat:—(was it
Charles Lamb')
“I never had a piece of tost,
Particularly large and wide,
But fell upon the sanded floor,
And always on the buttered side 1
A melancholly and despairing swain after ap-
prpriatiug to his own case the last stanza, passion
ately enlarges thereon, and then melts iuto a tub
of blubber—ridclicct:
“And so with everything in life ;
Whene’er it comes my turn to draw,
Iu casting lots for fortune’s gifts,
I always get the shortest straw.
And every gal turns np her nose
If I but take a squint at she;
So that, in luck, iu love, and toast.
There’s never nothing for poor me.”
Is it not so ?—Are there not hearts that in
one fleeting moment have found an object to cher
ish through all the days and dreams this side of
the tomb i Have we not at times met up with
those whose smiles have made a fairy land of
memory, and whose voice of music has lingered
as constant as the tones of the sea? Why clings
remembrance around some scenes, and forgetting
others ? Why is that tiie shadows of melancholy
come upon us like the gloom of night, when cer
tain names are mentioned .' Why is that little
songs move the spirit, and call to the eyelids burn
ing tears 1 It Is because the heart has something
cherished, deep down in its innermost recesses.
There have been those who have gathered in the
dawn of youth the brightest flowers, and then pass
ed on to long years of sorrows. There have been
those who have fondly loved, and yet known no
day of returning affection They have treasured
for their hopes the happiest anticipations in the
sunshine of a moment, and then watched the fa
ding of those joys that bloomed in the heaven of
their hearts. They have found objects to cherish
with bitterness, and cliug to with fondness. They
say with Byron:
“From the wreck of the past which has perished,
Thus much I at least may recall,
It hath taught me that what I most cherish’d
Deserved to be dearest of all:
Iu the desert a fountain is springing.
In tlie wild waste there still ts a tree,
And a bird in the solitude singing,
Which speaks to my spirit ot thee.”

“They 8ay!” 5Vho are they! who are the cowl
ed monks, the hooded friars who glide with
shrouded faces in the procession of life, muttering
in an unknown tongue words of mysterious im
port? Who are “ they!” The*midnight assassins
of reputation, who lurk in the bylanes of society,
with dagger tongues sharpened by invention and
evenumed by inaiice to draw the blood of inno
cence, and, hyena-like, banquet on the dead?
Who are "they!” They are a multitude no man
can number; black-stolid familiar of the inquisi
tion slander, searching for victims in every city,
town and village, wherever the heart of humanity
throbs or the ashes of mortality find rest.
O 1 coward, coward world skulkers! Give me
the bold brigand, who thunders along the high
ways with flashing weapon that cuts thesunbeams
as well as the shades.
Give me the pirate who unfurls the black flag’
emblem of his terrible trade, and shows the plank
nliick your doomed feet must tread; hut save me
from the They Sayers of society, whose knives are
hidden iu a velvet sheath whose bridge of death
is woven of flowers; and who spread with invisible
poison, even the spotless whiteness of the winding
sheet.”—Extract form “Earnest l.inwood.”
Here is a piquant extract: “He kissed her.
and promised. Such beautiful lips 1—Man’s us
ual fate—be was lost upon the coral reefs.”
*‘A young man in New York advertised for a
a wife. In less than two hours says 4 an exchange,
eighteen married men sent him word that he might
have theirs.”
Don't believe a word of it,
D. Lochrane, of Lancaster, Pa., getting tired of
his wife, aud not having the patience to wait for
a divoice, tossed her out of the window—just
I brew her away.
A lady writing upon the subject of men’s hearts
says:—“55'hen men break their hearts, it is the
same as when a lobster breaks one of his claws—
another sprouting immediately and growing in its
place.”
The happiest man in the world is the man with
just wealth enough to keep in spirits, and just chil
dren enough to make him industrious.
A cloud upon the soul darkens the world more
than a cloud in the firmament.
‘No man can tell,’ says H, W. Beecher, "wheth
er he is rich or poor by turning M his ledger. It
is tlie heart that makes a man rich. He is rich or
poor according to what he is, not according to
what he lias.’
To see a wasp-waisted young lady in ringlets,
and an abundance of flounces, gracefully sail to
the head of the table, and with a voice as angelic
as a tenor flute, call the waiter for a plate of cold
poi k aud beans, is the most trying thing romance
can encounter.
The Beggar—a True Tale.
One cold winter morning, the last Sunday of
December 1849, a half-naked man knocked tim
idly at the basement door of a line, substantial
mansion, in the city of Brooklyn. Though the
weather was bitter, even for the season, the
young man had no clothing but a pair of ragged
cloth^pants, and the remains of a flannel shirt,
which exposed bis muscular chest in many large
rents. But in spite of this tattered apparel, and
evident fatigue, as he leaned hea’rily upon the
railing of the basement stairs, a critical observer
could not fail to notice a conscious air of dignity,
and the marked traces of cultivation and refine
ment in his pale, haggard countenance.
The door was speedily opened, and disclosed a
large, comfortably-furnished room, with its glowing
grate of anthracite; before which was a luxurious
ly-furnished breakfast table—a fashionably-attired
young man, in a brocade dressing-gown and velvet
slippers, reclining in a “faufeual,” busily readhtg
the morning papers. The beautiful young wife I
had lincored at the table, giving to the servant in traversing its face showed a stratification of lime
breast, weening tears of Sweetest joy and thanks-
giving.
Dr. Haywood retired from the room, and left
sister and brother alone in that sacred hour of
reunion, saying to himself;
“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for
thereby some have entertained angels ontwms. ,r
A Daring Deed of Horsemanship,
A MEXICAN SKETCH.
‘If you feel disposed to risk a donbloon—I am
bat a poor hunter and cannot place more I shall
attempt what a inuchacito of ten years would con
sider a feat perhaps.’
‘And what may that be Senor Cabalero?’ asked
tke other sneeringly.
‘I will check my horse at full gallop on the
brow of yonder cliff!’
‘Within two lengths from the brow.’
‘5Vitliin two lengths—less the same distance
that is traced here, on the banks of the Sequai 1
The surprise created by this announcement held
the bystanders for some moments in silence. It
was a proposal of such wild reckless and daring
that it was difficult to believe that the maker of it
was in earnest. Even the two officers were for a
moment staggered by it and inclined to fancy the
Cabalero was not serious, but mocking them.
The cliff to which Carlos bad pointed was part
of the bluff that hemmed iu the valley. It was a
promontory, however, that jutted out from a gen
eral iine, so as to be conspicuous object from tha
plain below. Its brow was of equal bight with
the rest of the precipice of which it was a pert
a sort of buttress; and a grassy turf that appeared
along its edge was but the continuation of the up
per platteau. Its front to the valley was vertical
without terrace or ledge, altho’ horizontal seams
waiting orders for the household matters of the
day, when the timid rap attracted attention.
She commanded the door to be opened, but the
young master of the mansion replied that it was
quite'useless. being no one but some thieviih bag-
gar; but the door was already open, and the
sympathies of Mrs. Haywood enlisted at once.
“Come in to the tije,” cried the young wife
impulsively, “before you perish.’
-Thoju^iiflcant, without exhibiting any surprise
at such tYmsual treatment of a street beegar, slowly
entered tl.h room, manifesting a painful weakness
at every step. On bis entrance, Mr Haywood,
with a displeasing air, gathered up bis papers and
left the apartment. The unwise lady placed the
half froztfn man near the fire, while she prepared a
bowl of fragrant coffee, which, with abundant
food, was placed before him. But, noticing the
abrupt departure of her husband, Mrs. Haywood,
with a clouded countenance left the room, whis
pering to the servant to remain until the stranger
should leave.
She then ran hastily up the richly-mounted
staircase, and passed before the entrance of a small
laboratory and medical library, and occupied
solely by her husband, who was a physical chemist.
She opened the door aud entered the room. Mr.
Haywood was sitting at a small table with his head
resting on his hands, apparently in deep thought.
“Edward,” said the young wife, gently touching
him on his arm, “I fear I have displeased you;
but tlie man looked so wretched I could not bear
to drive him away,” and ber sweet voice trembled
as she added, “You know I take the sacrament
to-day.”
“Dear Mary.” replied the really fond husband.
“I appreciate your motives. I know it is pure
goodness of heart which leads you to disobey me,
but still I must insist upon my former command
that no beggar shall ever be permitted to enter
the house. It is for your safety that I insist upon
it. How deeply you might be imposed upon in
mv frequent absence from home. I shudder to
think. The mau that is now below may be but a
burglar in disguise, and already in your absence
taking impressions in wax of the different key
holes in the room, so as to enter some night at bis
leisure. Your limited experience ot city life
makes it difficult for you to ciedit so much
depravity. It is not charity to give to the street
beggars, it only encourages vice, dearest.”
“It may be so,” responded Mrs. Haywood, bat
it seemed wicked not to relieve suffering and
want, even if the person has behaved badly—and
we know it. But I will promise you not to ask
another into the house.”
At this moment the servant rapped violently at
the door, crying out the beggar was dying.
“Come, Edward, skill can save him I know,”
said the wife hastening from the room.
The doctor did not refuse this appeal to his pro-
and sandstone alternately with each other, From
the sward upon the valley to tho brow above the
heights was 1,()()(»feet short. To gaze up to it was
a trial to delicate nerves, to look down put the
stoutest to the proof. Ail stood watching him
with anxious eyes. Every movement was noted.
He first alighted lrom the saddle, stripped off his
manga, had it earned back and placed out of the
way He next looked at his spurs, to see if tho
straps were properly buckled.
After this he retied his sash, and placed the som
brero firmly on his head. He buttoned his velvet
catzomers down nearly to bis ankles, so that their
leather buttons might not flag open and discom
mode him Ilis hunting knife along with tho
whip he gave to tiie charge of Don Juau. His at
tention was next turned to the horse that stood
this lime with his neck curved proudly as though
he divined that he was to be called upon for soms
signal service. Tlie great bit—an Matnelu—was
carefully examined lest there might be some flaw
or crack iu the steele. The head strap was
buckled to its proper tightness, and then the reins
were minutely scanned. These were the hair of a
wild horse's tail closely and neatly plat ted. The
saddle now had its turn. Passing from side to
side Carlos tried both stirrup-leathers, and exam
ined the gr> at wooden-blocks which formed the
stirrups. The girth was the last as well as tho
most important object of his solicitude. He loo
sened the buckles from on botli sides and then
tightened them, using his knee to effect his pur
pose. When drawn to his likiDg, the tip of his
finger could not have been passed under the strong
leather band.
No wonder he observed all this caution, as ihe
snapfiing of a strap, or the slipping of a buckle,
might have hurled him iuto eternity. Having sat
isfied himself that all was right, he gathered up the
reins and leaped lively into the saddle.
He first directed his horse on a walk along the
cliff, within a few feat of its edge. This was to
strengthen both himself and the animal. Pres
ently the walk became a trot, and then a gentle
canter. Even this was an exhibition fearful to be
hold. To those regarding it from below, it was a
beautiful but terrible spectaale. After a while he
headed back towards the plain, and then stretching
iuto a gallop—the gait in which he intended to ap
proach the cliff—hi-suddenly reined up again so
as to throw his horse nearly on his flanks.
Again he resumed the same gallop, and again
reined up; and this raanauvre, he repeated about
a dozen times, now with his horse’s head turned
towards the cliff; and now in the directian of the
plain. At last lie was seen to turn his horse’s
head toward the cliff, and take his firmest seat in
the saddle. The determined glances of his eye
showed that the moment had come touch for the
final trial. A slight touch of the spur set the
noble brute in motion, and In a moment be was in
fessional vanity, for he immediately followed bis | full gallop, and heading directly for the cliff?—
eife's flying footsteps as she descended to the
basement. They found the mendicant lying pale
and unconscious upon the carpet where be had
slipped in his weakness from the chair where Mrs.
Haywood had seated him.
“He is a handsome fellow,” muttered the doc
tor, as he bent over him to ascertain the state of
bis pulse.
And well he might say so. The glossy locks of
raven hair had fallen away from abroad white
forhead; bis eyelids were bordered by long raven
lashes, which lay like a silken fringe upon his pale
bronzed cheeks, while a delicate acquiline nose,
and a square massive chin, displayed a model of
manly beauty.
The suspense was of short duration. Twenty
strides brought horse and horseman close to the
verge, within half a dozen lengths. The rein stil
hung loose, Carlos dare not tighten it. a touch he
knew would bring his horse to a halt, and that be
fore he had crossed the line, would only be a fail
ure. Another leap, another. Ho 1 he ia inside.
Great God he will be over 1
Just as the horse appeared about to spring over
the horrid brink, the reins were observed suddenly
tighten the fore hoofs became fixed and spread,
and the hips of the noble animal rested upon the
plain. Ho was poised at scarce three feat from
the edge of the cliff! While Th this atitude tha
horseman raised his right hand, lifted his som-

Oh, no, it is only a fainting fit, induced by sud
den change of temperature, and perhaps the first
stage of starvation,” replied the doctor sympathiz-
ingly. He had forgotten for the moment his cold
maxims of prudence, and added. “He must be
carried to a room without fire, and placed iu a
comfortable bed.”
The coachman was called in to issist in lifting
the atlieletic stranger, who was soon carried to a ! and motionless the spectator might have fancied
room in the chambers, where the doctor administer-! an equnstrian statue of broilze,its pedestal tho
graceful attitude was fully developed against tho
blue background of the sky. The arms, the
limbs, the oval outlines of the steed, even
the very trappings could be seen distinctly; and
for the short period in which they were poised
ed with his own hand strong doses of port wine
saugaree. The young man soon became partly
conscious, but all conversation was forbade him,
and he sunk quietly to sleep.
“He t is doing well—let him rest as long as he can;
should lie awake in our absence, give him beef, tea
and toast ad libitum,” said the doctor profes
sionally, as he left the room.
In less than an hour afterwards, Dr. Haywood
and iiis lovely wife entered the gorgeous church of
•‘the most Holy Trinity ”
Amid the hundreds of fair dames that entered
its portals dressed with all the taste and magnifi
cence that abundant wealth could procure, not one
rivaled, iu grace and beauty, the orphan bride of
the physician. Her tall, graceful figure was robed
in a violet silk, that only heightened, by contrast,
her large azure eyes, bright with the lustre of
youthful happiness; yet there was a touch of
“tender pity” in their droping lids, that won the
confidence of every beholder. The snowy ermine
mantilla, which protected her from the piercing
wind, revealed, but could not surpass, the delicate
purity of her complexion. Many admiring eyes '
followed the faultless figure of Mrs. Haywood, as ’
pinnacle of-the cliff.
Shaving a Hole.
Old Skinflint was the most colebrated broker in
Philadelphia—liis “shaving” operations were fa
mous, as he usually took not only the beard and
whiskers but “one pound of flesh in addition.’’—
Young Harry Scarum was one of those dashing
chaps who love wine and horses and who form a
majority of the borrowers. Harry having many
wants, on various occasions borrowed of Skinfliut
at three pe>- cent, a month “off,” and having at
sundry periods made “raises," paid off his respon
sibilities. At last be got tired of such constant bor-
borowing and repaying. It would be six years be
fore his estatecould be sold, under the terms of hig
father’s will who had prudently postponed that e-
vent until Hary should reach the age of jthirty and
Harry concluded it would be better to mak*a heavy
operation at once, and be rid of the brotberation
of continual borrowing. Away to Skinflint’s he
hied, determined to procure a good round sum and
so.be done with it.

The stately organ had peeled its last rich notes
which were still faintly echoing in the distant
arches, when a stranger of venerable aspect, who
bad previously taken no part in the services of the
alter, rose, aud announced for his text the oft-
quoted but seldom applied words of the Apostle:
“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for
thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”
Dr. Haywood felt his forehead flush painfully; it
appeared to him for the moment that the preacher
must have known of bis want of charity towards
strangers, and wished to give him a public lesson;
but be soon saw, from the tenor of bis remarks,
that his own guilty conscience had alone made the
application in his particular case. I have not
space nor indeed the power to give any synopsis
of the sermon; but that it, combined with the
incident of the morning, effected a happy revolu
tion iq the mind of at least one of its hearers. [
So much that on the return of Dr. Haywood from ;
church lie repaired at once to the room of the j

“Hem! well, here’s a bond for ten thousand dol

right.”.
No sooner said than done. Harry affixed hig au
tograph, and hummed a tune while Skinflint gat
his check book and made a calculation.
“Have you got ten dollars about you?” asked
Skinflint in a moment; if so let me have it.”
“All right, aid boy,” said Harry, supposing he
wanted to make change here it is.”
“Hem! hem!' said Skinflint, locking up his desk
an 3 making preparations “to shoot.”
“Stop, old feilow,” said Harry. “Where’s my
money.”
“Your money! you’ve got it!”.
“Got it? what do you mean?”

from cold and hunger, had it not been for you and
your wife’s charity. I was repulsed from every
door as an importer; and could get neither food
nor rest. To be exile front one’s native land
ten years, and then, after escaping from the perils
of the ocean, to die of hunger in the street of a
Christian city, I felt was truly a bitter fate.”
“My name is Arthur Willet, added tlie stran
ger.”
“Why, that is my wife’s family name. She
will be doubtless pleased at her agency in your
recovery.”
“Of what State is she a native!” asked Arthur
Wiliet, eagerly.
“I married ber in the town of B., where she was
born.”
At this moment Mrs. Haywood entered the
room, surprised at the long absence of her hus
band
Arthur Willet gazed at her with a look of the
wildest surprise, murmuring;
“It cannot be—it cannot he. 1 am delirious to
think so.”
Mrs. Haywood, with little less astonishment
stood motionless as a statue.
“55'hat painful mystery is this?” cried Dr.
Haywood, excitedly, adderesaing his wife who
then became conscious of the singularity of ber
conduct.
“Ob, no mystery,” she replied, sighing deeply,
“only this strangei is the image of my lost brother
Arthur.” And Mrs. Haywood, overcome with
emotion, turned to leave the room.
“Stay one moment,” pleaded the stranger,
drawing a small mourning ring from his finger,
and, holding it up, asked if she recognized that
relic? .
“It is my father's grey hair, and yon are”—
“His sen, Arthur Willet, and your brother.”
Mary Willet Haywood foil upon the mendicant’*
boy—a fair business transaction.
Too Good tc be lo.t, hand it around.—Several
days ago a well dressed scamp got upon the cars
at Chattanooga, and by some means escaped the
vigilance of the conductor until he reached Hunts
ville. Here conductors changed and Mr. Fowler
took charge of the train, and in making the first
round to collect tickets, between Madison and
Huntsville, he found the Joorofone of the private
saloons fastened. The brakeman assured him
that there was a man in the saloon, and without
suspecting foul play he told the brakeman to point
out the man to him when he caiue out, so that he
might collect his ticket. Fowler had no sooner
made his round than out came the gentleman,
thinking all was safe. When he took his seat in
the ear, he removed his hat from his bead, and
put it under bis seat Y.'hen called on for his
ticket he remarked that, while in the saloon ha
poked liis head out of the window to breathe fresh
air, and was so unfortunate as to loose bis hat,
with bis ticket in the band, and he could not
think of paying twice. Tbeconductor told him ha
regretted the circumstance veryfmuch, but, as it
was one for which the railroad was not to blame,
he would be compelled to make him pay a second
time—or else make him leave the train at
Madison station. The scamp was indignant
—Fowler remonstrated in his usual polite, bnt
firm way, until the station was reached, when he
informed him that he was at the end of his rope,
and leave the cars he must- Finding there was
no backing dowD, he reached under bis seat, drew
out his hut and started to leave the cars, when
Fowler told him he would have to exercise hi*
duty as conductor again—and the fact of his hav
ing lost his own, did not entitle him to take a fel
low traveler’s hat—for that the company would be
responsible. Whereupon he took charge of the
hat. and ehoved the gentleman off the cars.—Hunts
