SPIRITS OF THE DEAD.
BY J. H. PERKINS.
It is a beautiful belief,
That round our head
Are hovering, on noiseless wing,
The spirits of the dead.
It is a beautiful belief,
When finished our career,
That it will be our destiny
To watch o’er others here ;
To lend a mortal to the flower,
Breathe wisdom on the wind,
To hold commune with night’s pure noon.
With the imprisoned mind;
To bid the erring cease to err,
The trembling be forgiven,
To bear away from ills of clay
The infant to its Heaven.
Ah ! when delight was.found in life,
And joy in every breath,
I cannot tell how terrible
The mystery of death,
But now the past is bright to me,
And all the future clear,
For ’tis my faith that after death
We still shall linger here. •
THE DESERTED HOUSE.
BY TENNYSON.
Life and thought have gone away,
Side by side,
Leaving door and window wide;
Careless tenants they!
All within is dark as night;
In the windows is no light;
And no murmur at the door,
So frequent on itsjhinge before.
Come away; no more of mirth
Is here, or merry-making sound ;
The house was builded of the earth,
And shall fall again to ground.
Come away ; for Life and Thought
Here no longer dwell;
But in a city glorious— .
A great and distant city—they have bought
A mansion incorruptible.
Would they could have stayed with me.
• * • “We live in hope” is a cheerful sort of
rhyme for the time:
We live in hope that better times
Are quickly drawing near,
And think the next glad Christmas chimes
Will bring a happier year;
And though that one be fraught with care,
And build our trust upon ;
Yet with the next a smile we’ 11 wear,
And still keep hoping on.
We live in hope; though clouds appear,
They linger but a day;
• The sun, to us a gift so dear,
Will scatter them away;
Thus life is but an April shower,
And troubles are but rain; „ ‘
And hope, the sun, that in that hour
WUI bring us joy again.

f iTY LKssisfos on the man who first invented” news-
JD papers 1 and blessings on those public bene
factors, newspaper Editors! for without their inval
uable services, the tide of political interest would
grow stagnant and half the world die of ennui.
The monthly magazines are beautiful, indeed,
with their elegantly designed covers, their accu
rate typography, exquisite engravings and choice
contributions; but their coming too much resem
bles angel visitants. They are like those delicate
plants, whose blossoms are few and rare as they
are beautiful; and we prefer the more humble
cottage rose, whose bright buds the sun beams
and breezes daily kiss into life, and whose per
fumed petals ever greet us with a home-like wel
come. The Magazine comes to us monthly, like
an elegant, elaborately attired visitor, of whose
rich dresß children stand in salutary awe; but
the newspaper is a dear, familiar fireside friend,
fUU of useful information and pleasant, but harm
less, gossip, and not too fine to repel the advances
of little hands fresh from making dirt pies, but
whose owners can yet appreciate a puzzle or a
witty bon mol.
Then, where, in magazine literature, will you
find the spicy variety, the frank independence of
sentiment and the condensed information of the
family newspaper ?
Whole romances epitomized in half a column’s
relation of an occurrence in real life, delicate
morceaux, the cream of domestic and foreign news,
wit and humor, and n6t unfrequently. an original
gem of “ purest ray serene.” The newspaper is
the mince pie of the literary epicure, the weekly,
mental banquet, whose dishes are numerous and
varied as they are spicy and agreeable.
The newspaper is the real channel to literary
sucoess, and the true friend of modest talent and
aspiring, yet self-doubting genius. Many admi
rable writers whose names (through the newspa
per medium) are familiar as household words
from Maine to Florida, are yet innocent of looks,
while many more received from the pages of the
newspaper the stimulus needful to encourage
them to bolder efforts. Our best and most cele
brated authors owe their suocess in a great meas
ure to the weekly journals who first encouraged
their genius and befriended their youthful errors.
Addison, Steele and Johnson wrote for the ram
bler, the Spectator and other periodicals; Sue,
Janin and half a hundred French writers have
won their extended popularity chiefly through
the fevMets of the Parisian journals, and our own
Irving, Longfellow, Bryant, Poe, Osgood and El
let have contributed largely to newspaper litera
ture. Who will not, then, most heartily endorse
at least part of the sentiments of Fanny Fern, re
garding newspapers? “I hate” (she says in her
sprightly, inimitable way) “ new shoes, new dress
es, new bonnets—everything new except newspa
pers, and I was born reading them.”
But why is it; that when the usefulness of news
papers is so universally oonceded, they frequent
ly languish for want of patronage, and Editors,
appalled by empty larders, are; tempted to adopt
the Fitehe and Beskely theory of immateriality?
This, it must be confessed, is true of the South;
for, while literary journals, numerous “as the
leaves in Vallambrosa,” flourish at the North, the
issue of such a paper here is attended with great
risk, and the wise ones shake their heads and
sagely prophesy that its date will be brief, for the
South cannot long sustain any other than a pol
itical or sectarian sheet.
Why should this be so? Why assume that, be
cause kid gloves, delicate muslins and embroide
ries are brought to us by railway and steamer-*
consequently, literary merit cannot exist south of
Mason's and Dixon's line? Why look askance
upon those efforts, to which distance has not lent
its magic enchantment and ask with an incredu
lous curl of the lip, “ Can any good come out of
Nazareth” ? Yes; good can come from anything,
however unsightly. “ The rose draws its redness
from the ground,” and the water lilly derives its
pure and fragrant life from the noisome mud of
stagnant pools; and why should not so fair aland
as ours produce and foster the germs of genius?
The South has talent, undoubtedly, and all that
is needed is proper encouragement from the pub
lic. lam sure you will think of this, gentle rea
ders—that you will pay promptly and gladly for
your paper, and do all in your power to induce a
better appreciation of home literature. Remem
bering the disadvantages under which the sheet
is sometimes issued, do not “ pish 1” and “ pooh I”
and throw aside the paper if a slight typographi
cal error or a blurred sentence chances to occur in
the paragraph you are reading. And forget not
to be charitable to the persecuted race of scrib
blers. Think not that because a woman chances
to step from the common beaten track, or, in
other words, is acknowledged as a bas bleu, she
must necessarily possess inky fingers and dilapi
dated stockings. Accuse her not of indelicacy
in unveiling her heart’s holy of holies, if at times
she pour forth the tide of feeling in unrestrained
and burning language—the pent up grief, it may
be, that will find vent—the utterance of a heart
craving for sympathy—the aspirations of a spirit
pining to be free from its thraldom.
I would have you deal thus gently, dear read
ers, because you and I are destined to become
better acquaintances. I shall be a weekly visitor
at your firesides and the name perchance, not al
together unknown to you, will become familiar as
a friend’s. Shall Ibe welcomed? Will any eye
grow brighter when glancing over the pages my
hand has traced? Will any gentle spirit go out
to mine in love and sympathy? Oh! this is the
sweetest reward cf literary toil! the author’s dear
est meed of praise—to know that far away some
word of ours has found ah answering echo in an
other's soul—that an eye whieh may never meet
ours on earth has grown dim over our own heart's
revealings, and some voice has exclairhed with
soul-felt utterance, “Would that I could take her
hand and “call her friend!” It is with the hope
of this reward that I shall write, well content if
any thought of mine shall beguile a sad heart of
a single moment's pain, awaken one noble feeling,
or stimulate to a single worthy action.
But not for you shall I write pretty butterflies
of fashion, who listlessly take the paper in your
jeweled fingers to while away a moment's time
while waiting for a carriage, or for the adjustment
of patterns at your dress-makers. Nor for you,
young exquisites, who carelessly glance over its
pages, preparatory to tearing the paper to light
your racy Havanas. Not for you, shall my pen
do serviee; but when I write I shall think of the
far-away village and country homes, about whose
mossy eaves the mulberry .leaves are whispering
ploasan .things all summer long, and at whoso

cosy firesides the weekly paper is received as a

around them, and the red sunlight streaming in
through the crevices of the roof, read aloud the
story, or poem, which to their unsophisticated
minds possesses all the charm of truth.
Os all quiet and comfortable places of retreat,
a barn is the most delightful 1 The dearest and
sweetest recollections of my life cluster around
the ample walls and hay-piled floor of an old
barn in a country farm-yard. Oh, what blessed
hours of solitude I have there enjoyed! What
delicious reveries—what golden dreams I have
there revelect in ! What air castles I have built
—what tears I have shed with my arm around
my pet kitten and her pitying eyes raised to mine
—those wonderful eyes! they had in them such
a look of intelligence—such a depth of human
feeling—and once nothing could have shaken my
belief, that when I wept they were filled with
tears—that my poor dumb companion understood
and sympathized with me in my distress—yes,
distress; for they err who believe that childhood
has no real sorrow. It has griefs as intense and
difficult to be borne as those of maturer age. The
little heart is often swelled to bursting with an
guish, rendered more severe because it is so
lightly regarded—so little understood.
“ The tear down childhood’s cheek that flows,
Is like the dew drop on the rose” —
Is a couplet often more poetical than true; for,
childish sorrows, unalleviated by tender sympa

cast a baneful blight over the young, unfolding
nature.

THE BROKEN VOW.
BY MARY E. BRYAN.
The moon in the west was waning,
And the stars shone pale and high ;
Yet still went on the revel,
And the dancers floated by.
She paused in the waltz’s gay whirling—
That lady, young and fair—
And tossed back the tresses curling,
Os her dark, abundant hair.
“ Drink,” she said to the youth beside her,
“ Drain the cup my lips nave press’d ;
Drink to me\ and woe betide thee
• If thou slight my Jirgt request.”
She smiled, and her eyes out-darkled
The wave, when moon-beams shine,
And her glowing lip out.sparkled
The red of the ruby wine.
“ Nay ; recall the words, I pray thee,
For a holy vow is mine,
And not even to obey thee
May I quaff the tempting wine.
I would drink to thee forever,
But would you have me clasp,
Veil’d in flowers, yet treacherous ever,
The fair and deadly asp ?”
Still she said, “ by this one token
Shall I prove your love for me;”
And the words were coldly spoken,
And her lip curl’d bitterly.
And her eyes flash’d coldly, brightly,
As she crush’d his token flower.
Should he lose her love thus lightly—
The idol of the hour !
“Stay!” he cried, “I’ll do thy bidding,
Though the deed shall be my bane ;
I will drink, though death lie hidden
In the bowl you bid me drain.”
So the lady proved her power,
And yet prouder grew her brow,
But the angels wept that hour
O’er the rashly broken vow;
For they knew, that now forever
The die of his fate was cast;
That this one false step would ever
Lead him downward to the last.
Blasted hopes and slighted duty,
Ruined fortune, heallh and fame,
Blighted honor, youth and beauty,
And a drunkard’s death of shame.
Dimmed for age, the lustrous glory
Os his genius half divine ;
This, the sequel of the story
Read within the glowing wine.
Oh ! ye whose gift is beauty.
Best and brightest under Heaven,
There’s to you a sacred duty,
And a holy mission given.
By your eyes’ bewildering splendor,
By your cheek’s soft roseate hue,
By your tones of music tender,
By your ripe lip’s crimson dew,
By your tresses’ glittering shower,
With whose ripples, sunbeams toy,
Do ye wield a fearful power—
Power to save, or to destroy.
Thomasville.
