And the gems of the morning lay white in-theair; A seraph-like child on the bosom of Spring, With a heart full of glee like a bird on the wing. And her sweet sunny eye was a charm against pain, For a vision of gladness was Rosalie Vane. I mother when nature was fragrant with flowers, And the glory of summer encircled the bowers ; With a wreath on her brow and a smile on her lip, Like a dew lighted dower a bee loves to sip— For Eros had bound her a bride in his train, And the fairest and rarest was Rosalie Vane. I met her when leaves that the wild summer gave, Had faded like mist on the foam-covered wave, The angels had whispered, sweet sister we come! And the truant from heaven went back to her home; The winter passed over, and never again Shall I see thee and love thee, dear Rosalie Vane. J. W O. From the Boston Post. A Stranger in fburrh. BY Sl'SIE OF THE GLEN. Once I saw a sprightly stranger— Bright the smile upon his brow, As sunshine on the dewy dowers— Ah! me thinks I see it now. And a holy faith inspired him— When he breathed a silent prayer! The spirit whispers—-joy eternal. When H deigns to meet him there. ■ Y'es! a smile of Christian beauty— Peace aud joy together blend,— Like sunbeams on the tranquil ocean. Heavenly light, his steps attend; How strange, I know when he is near me. Instinct whispers he is nigh! • And when he joins the solemn chorus— ’Tis like music from the sky. The Editor of the Eagle of the South, who by the way, we suspect, is ail old bachelor, grows elo quent over a visit to his sanctum from some ladies. They must have made an impression. Hear him : “ ’Twas Bright, 'twos Hcactniy, but ’Its past.”— We had a visit yesterday morning, at our oflice, from some fair ladies of Vicksburg. They came like sun-shine and departed liko dreams. Their radiant smiles and silvery voices made, glad the heart, and when they were gone we felt “like one who treads alone some banquet hall deserted.” For the compliment in calling to see us, they have our kindest, sincerest remembrance. The adversity or tbe happiness of other days to come will not make them the less remembered. Let the fates decree a destiny as bright as the gates of morning, or the furies make miserable tbe days of the fu ture, memory of them will linger unfading as the beauties of the tropics. May their walk in life be like moon-light o’er the waters.” If you wonld not be avoided, despised and shun ned, dou’t fret. A grumbler is universally disliked. Clouds may lower around you casting gloomy shadows where once smiling sunshine rested, but look beyond, anou the clouds will break away and the light beam forth, more glorious an ac count of the recent darkness. Then be not dis couraged—don’t let “shadows strike terror to your soul.” “Work ami wait,” and rest assured that there is no such wold as “fail” to tho patient and persevering. And above all carry sunshine with you—and.remember that those who try to make otbeis L.nppj nrc ouro to auwppj in mnkinff them selves so; while on the other hand those who are eternally prating about their misfortunes, troubles and disappointments will be miserable themselves and make every body else miserable that they come in contact with. filrard, tbe .Honey Maker. A recent number of tho “Household Words” contains a sketch of Stephen Girard. It is not correct in all particulars, and yet it embodies many interesting facts, in the history of the cel ebrated banker. After giving tbe leading events in the early life of Girard, the writer proceeds as follows: “In 1812, Stephen Girard, the one-eyed cabin boy of Bordeaux, purchased the banking premises of the old Bank of tlie United States, (whose charter was not renewed,) and started the Girard bank, a large private establishment, which not only conferred advantages on the community greater than the State institution upon which it was founded, but, while tho public credit was sha- Fooalc Ready. “Dean Swift proposed to tax female bounty, and to leave every lady to rate ber own charms. Ha said the tax wonld be cbeerfBlly paid, and very productive.” “Fontenelle thus daintily compliments the sex, when he compares women and clocks—the latter serve to point out tbe boors, tbe former to make ns forget ;hem. “1 he standards of besnty in woman vary with those of taste. Socrates call* beauty a short-lived tyranny: Plate, a privilege of nature: Theo phrastus, a silent cheat; Theocritus, a delightful prejudice; Carneader, a solitary kingdom; and Aristotle affirmed that it was better than all the letters of recommendation in tbe world.” “With the modern Greeks and other nations cn the shores of the Mediterranean, corpulency is the perfection of form in woman; and those very attib- ntes which disgustthe Western European,form the attractions of an oriental fair. It was from the com mon and admired shape of his countrywoman, thit Rubens in his pictures delights so much in vulgar and odious plumpness; when his master was desirous to represent the “beautiful.” he had noidea of beauty under two hnndred weight.— His very Graces are all fat. But it should De re membered that all his models were all Dutch women T he hair is a beautiful ornament of woman, but it has always been a disputed point which color moat becomes it. W e account red hair au abomination; butip the time of Elizabeth it found admirers, and was in fashion. Mary of Scotland, though she had ex quisite hair of her own, wore red fronts. Cleo patra was red haired; and the Venetian ladies to this day counterfeit yellow hair.” “After ali that maybe said or sung about it, beauty is an undeniable fact, and its endowment not to be disparaged. Sydney Smith gives some good advice on the subject. Never teach fulsome morality. How exquisitely absurd to teach agirl that beauty is of no value, dress of no use!— Beauty is of value—her whole prospects in life may depand upon a new gown or becoming bon net: if she has five grains of common sense she will find this out. The great thing is to teach her their just value, and there must bo something bet ter uuder the bonnet thon a pretty face, for real happiness. But uever sacrifice truth.”—Salad for the Social. Hymn of tbc Marseillaise. The Marsaillaise was inspired by genius, pat riotism, youth. beauty andc hampagne. Rouget de Lisle was an officer of tho garrisou at Strasburg, aud a native of Mount Jura. He was an un known poet aud composer. He had a pleasant friend named Dietrick, whoso wife and daughters were the only ferities and admirers of the soldier poet's song. One night he was at supper with his friend’s family, and they had only coarse bread and slices of bam. Dietrick, looking sorrowful at De Lisle, said: Plenty is not our feast, but we have the courage of a soldier's heart, I have still one bottle left in the cellar—bring it my daugh ter, and let us drink to liberty and our country!” The young girl brought tbe bottle; it was soon exhausted, and De Lisle went staggering to bed; he could not sleep for the cold, but his heart was warm, and full of the beatings of genius and patriotism. He took a small clavicord and tried to compose a song: sometimes the words were composed first—sometimes the air. Directly he fell asleep over the instrument and waking at daylight, wrote down wliat he had conceived in the delirium of the night. Then he waked the family, and sang his production; at first, the wo men turned pale, then they wept, then burst forth into aery of enthusiasm. It was the song of the nation, and of terror. Two months afterwards Dietrick went to ths scaffold, listening to tho self-same music, compos ed under his own roof, and by the inspiration of his last botile of wine. The people sang it every where; it flew from city to city, to every .public or chestra. Marseillaise, adopted the song at the openiug aud close of its clubs—hence the name, “Hymn of the Marsillaise;” then it spread all over France. They sung it in the houses, in public assemblies, and in the stormy street convention.— De Lisle’s mother heard it, and said to her son, “What is this revolutinary hymn,sung by bands of brigands, with which your name is mingled!”— De Lisle heard it and shuddered as it sounded through the streets of Paris, and rung from the Alpine passes, while he, a royalist, fled from the infuriated people, frenzied by his own words.— France was a great amphitheatre of anarchy and LfooJ, uml LI# I.islu’a song was the battle-cry. There is no national air that will compare with the Marsaillaise in sublimity and power, it em braces the soft cadences full of the peasants home aud the stormy clangor of silver and steel when au empire is overthrown, it endears the memory of the vine dresser’s cottage, and makes the Frenchman, in his exile, cry “La belle France!” forgetful of the torch and the gullotine, which have made his country a spectre of blood iu the eyes of nations. Nor can the foreigner listen to it sung by a company of exiles, oi executed by a band of musicians, without feeling thatit is the pibroch of battle and war. The Early Loss of Purity of Character. We find the following very beautiful extract going the rounds of the papers credited to no pa per—no author. Its exceeding great beauty leads us to call spe cial attention to it by these brief prefatory re- Let the young read it aud treasure up marks. the moral it would illustrate and inculcate in their ken, the government finances were exhausted by *heart of hearts. war, the Girard bank could command large sub scriptions of loan, and put itself in the position of the principal creditor of the country. In 1814, Girard subscribed the whole of a large govern ment loan, from patriotic motives, and in 1817 he contributed by his unshaken credit and undiniin- islied funds to bring about the redemption of spe cie payments. In 1831, his operations were so extensive that when the country was placed in ex treme embarrassment from the scarcity of money, by reason of the balance of trade being against it, he was enabled by a single transaction with an eminent English firm, to turn the exchanges and cause specie to flow into tbe States. To add to this singular and deficient character, he was deaf in one ear, could ouly speak broken English, never conversed upon anything but Jmsi- ness, and wore the same old coat, cut in the French style, for five years together. An old ricketty chaise, remarkable for its age, and mark ed with the initials “S. G.” drawn by a faded horse, was used when he rode about the city. He had no sense of hospitality, no friend to share his house or his table. He was deferential in appear ance to rank aud family; violent and passionate only to one man—an old aud faithful clerk, named Roberjot,. His theological opinions were hetero dox in the extreme, and lie loved to name his splendid vessels after Voltaire aud Rosseau. He was devoted to the improvement of his adopted country-, and he was a determined follower of os tentatious charity. No man ever applied to him for a large public grant in vain, while the starving beggar was iuvariably sent from his gate. He steadily rose every morning before the lark, and unceasing labor was the daily worship of his life. Stephen Girard began his remarkable trading career with one object, which he steadily kept iu view all his life—the making money for the power it confered- He was content, at starting, with the small profits of the retail trader, willing to la bor in any capacity to make these profits secure. He practiced the most rigid personal economy; lie resisted ail the allurements of pleasure, he exacted the last farthing that was due him, and he paid the last farthing that he owed. He took every advantage the law allowed him in resisting a claim; he used men just as far as they would accomplish his purpose ; he paid his servants no more than the market price ; when a faithful cash ier died he exhibited the utmost indifference, ma- ‘ Over the beauty of the plum and the apricot there grows a bloom and beauty more exquisite than tlie Iruit itself—a soft delicate plash that overspreads its blushing cheek.—Now, if you strike your hand over that, and it is once gone it is gone forever; for it never grows but once. Take the flower that hangs iu the morning impearled with dew—arrayed as no queenly woman ever was arrayed with jewels. Once shake it so that the beads roll off. and you may sprinkle water on it as carefully as you please yet it can never be made again what it was when the dew fell silentiy upon it from heaven! On a frosty morning yon may see the panes of glass covered with landscape-* mountains, lakes trees, blended in a beautiful fantastic picture. Now lay your hand upon the glass, and by tbe scratch of your finger, or by the warmth of your palm, all the delicate tracery will be obliterated! So there is in youth a beauty and purity of eharacter, which, when on* touched and defiled, can never be restored; a fringe more deli cate than frost work, and which when torn aud broken, will uever be re-embroidered. A man who has spotted and spoiled his garments an youth, thongh he may seek to make them white again, can never wholly do it, even were he to wash them with his fears. When man leaves his father’s house, with the blessing of his mother's tears still wet upon his forehead, if he once loses that early purity of character, it is a loss that can never make whole again. .Such is the consequence of crime. Its effect cannot be eradicated, it can ouly be for- giren. It is a stain of blood that we can never make white, and which can be washed away only in the blood of Christ, that cleanseth from all sin.” A Story wbirfa can Re Believed. It became necessary a few days since to pull down an old building in the vicinity of tbe St. Mary's Market, for the purpose of erecting on its site, one more roomy and suitable to the times. Accordingly, the workmen were engaged and the work of demolishing went on. When the base ment had been reached, and the removing of the ground sills had commenced, one of the workmen discovered a singular looking animal, seemingly imbedded in one of the sills. The attention of the whole party was then di rected to the spot, when some one exclaimed,: king no provisions for his family, and uttering no \ the animal showed the broadside of huge claws! S IXTY days after date appliaction will be made to the Court of Ordinary of Twiggs county, for an order for leave to sell all the land belonging to Ira Burkett, minor heir of A. A.

Thus ho attained his eighty-second year, in 1839 ; he had nearly lost the sight of his one eye, a**d used to be seen groping about his bank, dis regarding every offer of assistance. Crossing one of the Pliiladeiphia roads he was knocked down by a passing uagon, his face was bruised, and his right ear was nearly cut off. His one eye, which before opened slightly, was now entirely closed; lie gradually wasted away,and his health declin ed. On the 26th of December, Stephen Girard expired, in ihe back room on the third floor of his house, in Water street, Philadelphia, leaving the bulk of his large fortune, upwards of a million sterling, to found charities and to benefit the city and the country ill which lie acquired it. He left his monument in tho “Girard College,” that marble roofed palace for the education and protection of the orphan children of the poor, which stands the most perfect model of architec ture in tho Now World, high above all the build ings of Philadelphia, visible from every eminence of the surrounding country. Every detail of the externa! aud internal arrangement of this orphan college was set forth clearly aud carefully in his will, showing that the design upon which he had lavished the mass of his wealth was not the hasti ly developed fancy of a few hours or days, but was the heart-cherished, silent prijectof his whole life.

But the most wonderful portion of this story is yet to be told. We said it was Imbedded in one of tire sills. This was not exactly the case, for the sill was imbedded in its back, and had thus held its captive for years. It must have some how or other caught itself under the sill when quite small, for it had grown up nearly the height of tire sill on each side, leaving, when it was ex tricated, a furrow down its back lengthwise a half foot deep. One of the workmen, in attempting to take hold of it, hail his hand nearly torn iutwo by one of its huge claws. It has a tail about four or five inch es long, and a genuine snapping turtle head. The probability is that this turtle or terrapin is at least, a quarter of a century old, and has been, without doubt, under this house and in that posi tion since its erection. The mystery is, what sus tained life during that time. The ground around was quite damp. This curiosity, we learn has been preserved, and is in the possession of one of the workmen. It is worth teeing.—New Orleans Delta. Queer Epitaph.—The following epitaph is said to be on a a tomb-stene in Upper Georgia; “To all my frends who come this way, A few kind words I wish to say— Should any of you drink old rye. Think of me as you pass by." The epitaph is rather inexplicit. Whether the chap wanted to remind those who passed by of the virtues of “old rye,” or of its evil consequences does not appear. What good men do, is said to live after them, and this man may be anxious to perpetuate the remembrance of the good things he enjoyed while here below. A pure article of old r) e, to those who relish it, is no doubt a very re freshing reminder—and this may have been a jolly Hard-shell who believed that none of God sgood creatures should be forgotten.—Aug. Dispatch. A min or is tbe only tolerated medium of reflec tion upon woman’s beauty and it is the last that is discarded.
