BRYAN. “ Tarry until I come,” Oh, words with fearful meaning fraught! Words that bewilder dizzy thought— Oh, words of direful doom ! How, like a bolt from Heaven;fell that ban Upon the startled soul of that proud man ! Cursed with a deathless life, Doomed to see centuries go by, Like shadows o’er a Summer sky ; Through famine, flood and strife i o pass unscathed, loathing the boon of breath, And praying for the lethean draught of death. With weary step to tread, A wanderer, o’er distant lands, Liberian eons and desert sands, And in thy footsteps dread, ‘Oh, fearful climax of Goa’s burning wrath!) To follow pestilence and tears and death. To see the pall and bier , Follow forever in thy tread, The ghastly faces of the dead At thy approach appear. Driven onward by an*unseen demon hand, A scourge to cities pale, a terror to the land. Daring no prayer to speak, h a ’' i * Si While “on!” is still the demon’s cry, And the grim tyrant hovers nigh— His cold breath fans thy cheek; Earth’s pale and lifeless ones around him lie, But vain the unspoken prayer, that thou mays’t die. Upon the battle plain, Amid the wounded and the slain, Through flashing swords and cannon’s rain To seek for death in vain. The mark of Cain upon thy blighted brow Wards off the hand that lays thy comrades low. And flood and fearful fire, To whom are fatal missions given, All spare the outcast, doomeo of Heaven To vengeance strange and dire. The roaring flames and the engulphing wave Refuse thee, even the poor boon of a grave. Ages have o’er thee flown, The name thy proud lips dared blaspheme, Os every nation is the theme; And Calvary’s summit lone, Where first the wing of Mercy was unfurled, Is now the Mecca of the adoring world. Coldly thou look’st on all The pomp and pageantry of earth, The fate of nations, and the birth Os Empires doomed to fall; ’t’hou etand’st unmoved, while rolls Time’s changeful sea, For what have time and change to do with thee ? Erect, and pale, and proud ; The beauty of thy kingly race Throned on thy brow of hanghty grace, Thy stately form unbowed; Yet what avails, when Love instinctive flies From the stern sorrow of those changeless eyes! No hand with soft caress Shall part from thy pale brow the hair, Or lay to thine a forehead fair In winning tenderness. Vengeance divine has cast thy horoscope— Oh! what hast thou to do with love or hope ? Nor yet may glorious fame Hope to renew her fires divine Upon thy heart’s deserted shrine, Where glows no earthly flame; No flower of love, no bays may blossom there Beneath the Upas shade of thy despair. The past, the fearful past! It is a desert-track of graves, O’er which, Oblivion’s rolling waves No pitying shroud shall cast. The Future ! Oh! well may’st thon turn away From that dread view where gleams no cheer ing ray! Will it be thus for aye? Oh! will not God remove his ban Os vengeance from this haunted man? Must he endure alway This living death, or will the pitying tomb At iengthbeopened for the child of doom ? “ Tarry uatil I come Oh ! on that long expected hour, When the Messiah comes in power, And to their long lost home— Their own Jeruselem’s cherished palace walls— The scattered tribe of princely Judah calls. Then shall the shadow fall From thy repentant brow, thy breath No more bring pestilence and death, Thy form no more appal. The fearful malison shall then be o’er, And the doomed outcast pray for death no more. Thomasville. ■ * This mysterious man, whose strange doom forms the basis of Eugene Sue’s famous and fascinating novel— u The Wandering Jew"—and the no less thrilling and powerfully writ ten “ Salathiel” of George Oroiy, is supposed by some to be a veritable personage, and travellers have testified to meeting him in their wanderings, carrying with him the plague of pestilence and escaping miraculously from n Perils by flood and famine, Are and sword.” A FLEA YOB IBS LADIES. She’s a pretty girl enough, but I would as soon think of marrying the fashion-figure in Rsdam Blande’s shop. Can’t afford such an expensive lux ury coz. I would be afraid of her pawning my lan cet for a head-dress. Intelligent and accomplish ed ! Well, that she may be, but give me the girl who can handle the pudding-stick more dexter ously than the piano, and consults Miss Leslie’s cooking-book oftener than Dumas or Sue;” and my cousin shrugged his shoulders with all the self-importance that a score of years and a series of medical lectures at Philadelphia are apt to give a young man. I laughed at his consequential air, despite a little rising indignation, and telling him that his sentence was worthy of Dr. Johnson in his palm est days, I passed on; for I knew that “• A man convinced against his will, . Is of the same opinion still.” But the discussion had given rise to a train of more serious reflections, r I thought of the strength and immovability of prejudice; of that class of men all fire and impulse, who refuse to listen to reason and drown all attempts at conviction by vociferous exclamations,and of the other,and still more incor rigible class —the calm, impurturable dogmatists, who, while professing themselves “ open to con viction,” listen quietly to your arguments, until you are sure of having gained your point, and then coolly “beg leave to prefer their own opin ion,” in which, in reality, they have remained as firm as the rock of Gibraltar. To this latter class belongs my cousin- s*i s The young lady about whom we had been dis puting, was the belle of the village—a beautiful girl with a form which might have served a sculp tor for a model, and one of those rare faces, that unite the charms of intelligence with classic reg ularity of feature. Nature indeed had denied “ naught, save the pelf, That buys the sex a tyrant o’er itself.” She was poor, but her dress was alwayß exquis itely tasteful, her manner graceful and self-pos sessed, with a dash of the independence and the pride of conscious beauty and mental superiori ty. Consequently, she was said to dress above her means; to be only intent on capturing a wealthy prise; to do nothing at home but keep her pretty hands white and soft, and to resemble the lillies of Solomon in more than one particu lar. And thus this high-bred, noble-apirited girl endured rehufft from those who should have hon ored her for her brave struggle with poverty.*— Unmerited rebuffs they were, for I soon discov eved that, the extravagant dressing waa merely *r Wander. The graceful form, the taste of die fair wearer, and her lady-lift: bearing, gave a M j cherche look to the njqst common toilet; the jewels | she wore, were an heir-loom in the family in the days of their prosperity, and the light flounces that added grace to her figure, the delicate em broidery and tasteful trimmings, was the work of the same pretty fingera that seemed only fitted to thrill the strings of a harp, or pluck apart the petals of a rose in “ maiden meditation.” And thus, if the zealous partisans of economy would take the trouble to investigate, they would find that the extravagance against which they raise such a hue-and-cry, is in a great measure mythical. Not that there are not extravagant Women. Heaven knows there are: women who never know when they have a sufficient quantity of jewels, ribbons and laces heaped upon their over-loaded bodies—who judge of quality by the number of flounces, and of merit by the cost of a bonnet; but there are many who are slanderous ly classed with these perambulating dry-goods’ advertisements, and in defence of these, I would throw down the gauntlet. There are individuals who affect to despise per sonal attractions, but this, (besides being a great piece of hypocrisy) is a very wicked declaration; for no gift of heaven should be neglected or de preciated. Others there are, (mostly envious spinsters, and crabbed misanthropes) who, think ing the, wish to please a vain and sinful desire, caution their younger friends against it. This is an extreme of modesty which I confess I cannot appreciate. Do not follow the advice, pretty girls, in whose veins? are dancing the warm blood of youth—follow your own natural impulses, curl your rich tresses, wear flounces, bright colored ribbons to match yonr brunette or blonde com plexions, and dresses that will afford, at least, a glimpse of the ivory neck and shoulders, that nature never gave you to conceal. Os course, your own good sense will lead you to “ make hay while the sun shines”—to store your mind with knowledge that will cheer and glad den you when the bloom and brightness of youth is no more. But this need not prevent your en joyment of the present. Like the bee, you can revel amid the flowers of summer, even while you are gathering provisons for the coming winter. Besides, I cannot endure prudery, and fully en dorse the sentiments of Pope, that “ ’Tia a beldam Known to wit and beauty seldom.” There is yet another class of cavillers, who find fault with the too elaborate style of dress; pro fess to admire extreme simplicity, and repeat the hackneyed quotation, that “ Loveliness Needs not the foreign aid of ornament, But is, when unadorned, adorned the most.” Now, with all due deference to the admired author of the Seasons, (who probably knew as much about dress as about the delights of bath ing,) I beg permission to differ with him in this respect. I appeal to every man who has not a heart of stone, if there is not a charm in dress, a magic in delicately colored ribbons, in French gaitors enveloping a fairy foot; and if the dainty frost-work of lace, half veiling snowy arms and bosoms, is not a veritable net, in whose silken meshes, hearts are frequently entangled. I call upon every man who has a : pretty wife, to answer if the kiss pressed upon her rosy lips, was not given with more impressement,, when she met him tastefully and becomingly dressed, with the glos sy braids of hair giving a charm to her sweet face, and a snow-drift of cambric peeping from the pockets of her dear little silk apron, than when he found her in the kitehen in a loose wrapper, bending over the stove flushed with her exertions over a refractory mutton chop. Not that I would underrate domestic accomplishments not by any means! Sooner banish beans and cabbages forever from vegetable existence, for the sake of rosea and carnations, but the beautiful and useful should be combined. Knowledge of domestic affairs is a very essential qualification, but it is not the only requisite in a wife. I have heard gentlemen of reputed sense and refinement, speak as though the only qualifications necessa ry in a lady, were to be a good cook and house keeper. As though digestion were the grand business of life, and gastronomy the most impor tant of sciences! Now, a capital cuismiere and femme de menage will not always make a suitable companion for life for a man of education, or even ordinary mental endowments. During the many hours when he will be dependent upon her for entertainment, when the honey-moon has slightly waned, will she amuse him with a list of receipts, or with the idle gossip and scandal which, thank Heaven, few men can endure T I knew a young man once, a very dear friend of mine, (admirer, if you please,) who married, at his mother’s recommendation, a girl, good and pretty, but with a soul not removed above biscuit making anddaming socks. When they were cos ily settled in their new home, the young husband proposed to enliven the long winter evenings by readings from the Poets. She assented, and when tea was over, the fire burning cheerily, and he pleasantly seated at the round table opposite his wife with her dainty gold thimble and embroid ery, he began with the glorious Manfred of By ron. Poor Sue tried to listen, for she really loved her husband, and to please him smothered sev eral yawns; but she grew sleepy and listless, and presently, when her husband, with flushed cheek and kindling eye, looked up to mark her appreciation of the passage that had awakened his enthusiasm, she asked tenderly, “ Harry dear, what would you like for breakfast?” After that, the poets were read in silence, and the young Benedict, finding no congenial society at home, became a frequenter of billiard saloons and a jol ly fellow about town. The cleverest, quietest little house-keeper I know of—a perfect household fairy—hardly knew Indian meal from flour before her marriage, and was quite ignorant of all the mysteries of tailoring. She learned rapidly, however, for love ‘is an excellent and pleasant teacher —and then is there not a charm in having a husband to en courage you in ypur first attempts, praise your efforts, laugh with you at your little awkward ness and declare that you succeed admirably? Dear, excellent old ladies, whose half dozen daughters have grown up model house wives un der your maternal care, do not elevate your eye brows in righteous indignation.! I repeat that eookery and housekeeping Me very essential branches of female eduoation y hut there are other and more important requisites to which they should be made subservient. The cultivation of the mind, of the heart and of natural graces, are of paramount importance. It is far easier to become a proficient in domes tic affairs than to acquire polised manners or a cultivated intellect; and since, after all, we must confess that influence over the other sex is the great object of our lives, I leave it to your excel lent judgment to decide ts thin is hot best affected EDITOR & PROPRIETOR. by the charm of intellect and the grace of man ner, which does not pass away with youth. Heigh-ho 11 ha?e given you quite a sermon from the text furnished by my cousin. Will it make any impression upon him think you ? I shall send him the paper,"but I will tell you what he will do: It will not hare the slightest effect upon his prejudices; and after spending a third of his life in searching for a paragon, he Will eventually marry a clever house-keeper, and as lie is soberly inclined,fbecome a quiet, good cit izen, sink to her mental level, grow to be some what of a gourmand, thanks to her culinary skill -i-go through a gradual stultifying process, and pass through life, leaving untasted the oup of sweetest and most refined pleasure, the high and pure happiness that only flows from a union of Congenial spirits; from soul responding harmoni ously to soul, like the chords of a perfectly attun ed instrument. “ I have found violets—April hath come on,” Sings the sweetest of our American poets, but what would he say to finding’theee blue-eyed first-borns of the year, instead of springing up ill the footsteps of coquettish April, adorning the stem brow of*January. Yet so it is, as is proven by this bouquet of vio lets and daises (so'large that 1 can scarcely clasp it with my fingers) that lies beside me as I write. I found them in my morning ramble, brightening the sunny hill-sides, blooming in fairy beauty in bidden works and sheltered coverts, betrayed by their azure; gleam through the russet ferns like the sparkle of a child’s laughing eye ’neatli its fringe of silken lashes. Willis has said of Win ter that “ God has given him a hand of steel and an unlovely aspect.” Did that eloquent inter preter of nature look with me now, upon the marvellous beauty of this winter day, he would recal the words. The delicious softness of indian summer breaths in the lucid atmosphere, the wind spirits have rocked themselves to sleep in the topmost boughs of the young pines, whose light shadows fall across the page as I write, and the wondrously rich sun fight lends a wierd charm to the scene. White clouds are floating in the sky and a stream winds at the foot of the hill, its course betrayed by the dark-green laurels and myrtles that surround it, and the music of its dancing feet as light as though summer zephyrs kissed its sparkling wat ers. My seat (oh, never was damask fuuteuii or spring sofa more luxurious !) is a bed of \vrre-gr<m that covers the earth with its green carpet, and with the faint aroma of these wild-wood flowers stealing upon my senses, I might fancy myself transported to some tropic clime where “ The birds have no sorrow in their song, No winter in their year.” And certainly some magic has metamorphosed the seasons, giving to winter the fresh loveliness of spring. The laurels and maples of the brook side are spangled with the golden stars of the yellow jassamine and the gardens are flushed with bloom—roses of crimson and creamy beauty blossoming everywhere like scattered gems. Surely Flora has charmed the fro9t-king with her syren r.eauty and disarmed him of his terrors, that thus fearless of being chilled by his icy breath, she dares to lay her flowery chaplet on his “front severe.” And so, while the far-off denizens of the city are searching hot-houses and conservatories for floral offerings to the “ladyes of their love,” our southern girls are luxuriating in the rich sponta neous beauty of “ Token flowers that tell What words could never speak so well.” Os all their souvenirs of love, there is no gift more appropriate and more delicate than an of fering of flowers —the mingling of beauty and fra grance—the rich crimson of the rose telling a tale of passion and the sweet incense of jassa mine and heliotrope breathing of gentle, yet infinite tenderness. But from these splendid fa vorites of the parterre, I confess I turn with more affection to the wild children of nature and my bouquet of simple violets—their breath fresh as a peasant girl’s, and the dew “ yet in their blue cups trembling,” is dearer to me than the more brilliant queen-flowers of the conservatory. “ There’s to me A daintiness about these early flowers That touches me like poetry. They bloom With such a simple loveliness among The common herbs of pasture and breathe out Their lives so unobtrusively, like hearts Whose beatings are too gentle for the world.” Squeezing the hand.— lt is but lately that we understood the strange constructions that are sometimes put upon a squeeze of the hand. With some it is entirely equivalent to a declara tion of love ; this is very surprising indeed. We must take hold of a lady’s hand like hot po tatoes ; afraid of giving a squeeze lest we should burn her fingers. Very fine truly 1 Now it was our ancient custom to squeeze every hand that we got in our grasp, especially a fair one. Is it no won der that we have never been sued for a breach of promise ? We would not give a rusty nail for one of your cold formal shakes of the hand. Every person who intrudes one or two fingers for your touch (asif he were afraid of catchingadistemper) should go to school awhile to a jolly old farmer. He shakes with a vengeance; and shakes your body too, unless you should happen to be as thick a a himself. Well, there is nothing like it; it shows a good heart at any rate, and we would rather a man would crush the very bones of our fingers, and shake our shoulder out of joint than that he should poke our paw, as if he were abont to come in contact with a bear or a hyena. The ladies may rest assured of this; that a man who will not squeeze their hand when he gets hold of it, does not deserve to have a hand in his possession; and that he has a heart 749 times smaller than a grain of mustard seed. The trees of South America are more vari ous and graceful, than in the Old World, many of the largest being adorned with the most bril liant flowers. We meet with magnificent palms, odoriferous lillies, balsams, cinchonas, ana jesa mines. The passion-flower grows as lofty as the European oak, besides a number of beautiful flow ers. Sugar-cane, wheat, barley, Indian oorn and potatoes flouriah. Among the fruits, oranges, limes, coooa-uiit#,, pine-apples, mangoee, bananas, pome- jambas, aracas and mangabas, flourish in these regions where there is a due proportion of heat and moisture. The bitter quassia, rosewood, indigo, coffee, abound. “ Individual plants, lan guishing in hot-houses,” says Humboldt, can give us but a faint idea of the majestio vegetation of the tropical zone.” Beau Brummel was once sitting at a table with <me Btigh, who was known to be insane. The Beau having lost a considerable stake, affeeted, in his farcical way a very tragic air, and cried out* “ Waites bring me a flat candlestick and a pis tol ’’ Wpon which Bligh, who was sitting oppo site him, calmly produced two loaded pistols from his coat pocket, which he placed on the table and said, “ Mr Brummel, if you are really desirous to put a period to your existence, I am extremely happy to offer you the means without troubling the waiter.” The effect upon those present may be easily imagined at finding themselves in the company of a known madman who had loaded weapons about him. , * VOL XXIV.
