h)„:-;'V FROM TJIE HEART.
[We copy the following poem at the request of
ore of our f.iir readers. It is true poetry, and
is 1 :i of go mine pathos. Prof. Longfellow is
ra ilti Lave do lorod, when it first appeared,
•': t it was enough to immortalize any poet.—
It v.-as written by A. .T. 11. DCGAXtK. It will
not bo n w *oour readers, but we think they
wilt not be sorry to see it here. ] *
I’m thinking on thy smile, Mary—
Th ’ blight and trusting smile —
in tlu 1... ring of our youth and love,
Ere s- came—or guile:
men thine arms were tu ined about my neck,
And mine eyes latticed into thine
Am! the heart that throbbed for me alone,
Was nestling close to mint!
I sec full many’ a smile, Mary,
On v our)'-’ lips beaming bright ;
And many an eye of light and love
Is flashing in my sight .
But the smile is not for my poor heart.
And the eye is strange to me,
And lonelfues.’ comes o'er my soul
When its memory turns to thee !
I'm thinking on the night, Mary,
.The night of yief and shame,
V/hen V, itu drunken ravings on my lip*.
To thee I h .nieward came—
O, the tear was in thine earnest eye,
And thy bosom wildly heaved,
To’ a smile of lovo was on thy cheek.
Though the heart was sjre’y grieved.
But the smile soon 1-ft thy lips, Mary,
And thine eye grew dim and sad :
For the tempter lured my steps from thee,
And the wine-cup drove me mad :
ream tliy cheek the ruses quickly fled.
And thy ringing laugh was gone,
Vet thy heart still fondly clung tome,
And still kept trusting on
O, my words were harsh to thee, Mary,
For the wine-cup made me wild ;
And 1 chid thee when thine eyes were sad,
And I cursed thee when they smiled;
God knows I loved thee even then.
But the fire was in my brain,
And the curse of drink was in my heart,
To make my lovo a bane.
’T'.ras a pic ana nt home of ours, Mary,
In the sp ring time of our life,
Yv’heu I looked upon thy sunny face,
And proudly called thee wife—
A 1 ’t>vus pleasant when our children played
Before ovr cottage door—
Cut the children they with thee, 31 try,
I shall never see them more.
Thon’rt resting in the church-yard, now,
And no stone is at thy head 1
But the sexton knows a drunkard’s wife
Sleeps in that lowly bed ;
And he says the head of God. Mary,
“Will full with crushing weight
On the wretch who brought thy gentle life
To its untimely fate t
But he knows not of the broken heart
1 bear within my breast,
Or the heavy load of vain remorse,
That will not let me rest;
He knows not of the slecple-a nights,
When dreaming of thy lovo,
I seem to see thine nugel eyas,
Look coldly from above.
I have rai-ed the wine cup in my hand,
And the wildest strains I’ve sung,
Till with the laugh of drunken mirth
The echoing air has rung ;
But a pale and sorrowing face looked out.
Cron the glittering cup on me,
And a trembling whisper I have heard,
That I fancied breathed by thee!
Thou ai t slumbering in the peaceful grave,
And thy sleep is dreamless vow,
But the ical of an undying grief
Is ou thy mourner’s brow,
And my heart is oil ill as thine, Mary,
Fur the joy , of life have fled,
And I long to lay my aching breast
With the cold and silent dead !
LIFE'S _ANGELS.
SY MISS ALICE CAREY.
O still, and dumb, and silent Earth,
Unlock thy dim and pulseless nuns ;
Wanlo!iog end we iry from her birth.
Thy child se-.m refure from life's storms !
Still from my heart a shadow lifts,
And through my soul a lost voice thrills,
As the s. it starligut’s go'deu drifts
Sweep nightly o’er the western hills.
Li'V V r its angels, though unkert
TUj loveii f ,ht which their l.eauty brings,
A.it] though the blue heavens aro not swept
With the white radiance of their wings
But a dark shadow—not the grave’s—
Has clasped the One I loved from me.
An 1 winds L„ve built their wal's of wave
Between us ia the e oia il sea.
I dare not drink the - a (ling cup,
Nor iiglit tho shrine in Love's sweet name,
Lest fre:n th* dark be lifted up
Pale hands to smother down the fame.
The music on the lip ot morn.
Wings glancing on the summer air,
Love's rone-crowa—al! tirngs earthly born—
Are links that hind me to despair.
Where’er the fires of sunset’s glow
Stream bright c ross s n me silver cloud,
I think about tho wavy flow
Os 10. g loose tresses o'er the shroud.
No more I tremble with sweet awe.
For ail life’s shining wr.-es grow dim,
Veer there one bar ing star I saw
Quench its bright axle to the rim.
Borne down a id weary with life’s storms,
O earth, receive me to tby breast—
Unlock thy dim and pulseless arms,
And cool this hunting hen-t to rest
mi r~
I bid tho” ft re we 1, and f**r ever 1
Thy tright eye is moistened with tear-.,
When heart-, cite united, thus sever,
The past like a vision appears.
A long night of w e is the morrow.
Encircled by mi-ery's chain;
For hearts that are broken —form sorrow
Can never b lightened again.
THINE EYES ARE DIM.
Thino eyes are dim with weeping,
How art thou altered now,
Since last I saw thee sleeping
With smiles upon thy brow - r
Thy youthful blonUi line faded,
As autumn flowers die ;
And the golden hair I braided
Hangs now neglcctcdiy.
Thou’rt sighing o'er the token
Thou fi: st did smile upon ;
Ere plighted vows were broken,
Iu happier years long gone ;
Death's pallid line is stealing,
With vision like caress;
Life lingers, still reveali: g
Thy fading loveliness!

FITNESS IN BUILDING,
1 The first concomitant of beauty in archi
j tecture—equally w ith the works of ‘’future
i—is fitness for the purposes to which its
J productions are applied. The beauty ev
ery where perceptable in creation, is, in
every instance, based upon the most per
fect utility and suitability to the circum
stances in which the creature is placed.—
The camel is framed in conformity with
the parching climate of the desert —the
rein-deer with that of the frozen regions—
the goat for the mountains —animals which
subsist upon the plants and foliage of trees
are provided with long legs and necks —
those that feed on pastures, with short
ones—and so on; all are adapted to the
wants and necessities of their condition;
and in that condition, and for the fulfil
ment of the uses for which the Great Au
thor of nature designed them, are, from
that very fitness and utility, beautiful. —

WINDS AND CURRENTS.
In the National Annual Scientific Con
| vention, at Cambridge, Mass., on the 10th,
jan interesting communication was made
jby Lieut. H. F. Maury, on his favorite
theme of winds and currents. By the ready
land hearty co-operation of the merchant
marine, Lieut. M. has been enable to make
such arrangements that there are now 1600
i vessels employed on the ocean in prosecut
ing these investigations, without expense,
other than the preparation of the charts.—
He has adopted the plan of dividing the
ocean into sections of five degrees each,
with the different seasons of the year dis
tinguished by color, and instituting a cer
tain number of observations from each.—
The charts already placed in the hands of
navigatiors have materially shortened the
distance from here to Roi Janerio, by an
average of four days. So that we have
here an immediate and most important prac
tical benefit.
The investigtion once commenced, soon
ltd to the discovery that there was a region
at about the middle of the Atlantic, in
which there are monsoons not before
known. Vessels have been going there at
what have been considered good seasons
expecting to find favorable winds; but
were met by disappointment. This point
ed out the probality that longitude had al
most as much to do as latitude with the
winds. Lieut. M. went on to illustrate
this. Vessels going from here to the Equa
tor, get into the region of calms; and from
that into the Northeast trade winds. By
sailing to the south they come to another
region of calms land again leaving these, if
in summer, come to the region of the six
months simoons. Charts have been pre
pared for the purpose of investigating what
influence longitude and latitude have upon
these trade winds.
SINGULAR FACT.
Professor Agassiz saiJ, in a recent speech
before a scientific body : I found that the
young animals, in almost all classes, differ
widely from what they are in their full
grown condition. I will state at once a
few’ of the results: for instance, a young
bat, or a young bird, or a young snake, at
a certain period of their growth within ihe
egg, resemble each other so much, that I
defy the most able zoologist of our day to
distinguish between a bat and a snake, or to
distinguish between a robbin and a bat, or
to distinguish between a robbin and a
snake. There is something of high sig
nificance in this fact. There is a thought
behind these material phenomena, which
shows that they are all combined under
one rule, that they only come under differ
ent laws of development, to assume, final
ly, different shapes, according to the object
for which they were introduced.
PRESERVING SUMMER FRUITS.
Such fruits as Strawberries, Raspber
ries. Blackberries, and the like may be
preserved in the following manner, cheap
ly, and ihcir flavor be retained : Put sugar
over the fire at the rate of half a pound to
the pound of berries, add a little water and
when hot take up the fruit in a skimmer
and dip it into the sugar, holding it there
for hall a minute perhaps, then take it out
and spread it on tins. Go throgb the whole
lot in this manner. Then boil down tiie
sugar to a thick sytup and pour it over lhe
fruit. Set the tins either in the sun or in
a warm oven till the berries are dried
through in thin gelatinous cakes. When
’ thoroughly dry, put the cakes in a bag and
hang it up out of the way. The cakes will
keep as long as wanted, and may be fitted
for the table in a few minutes, by the addi
tion of a little hot water —more sugar being
I added if necessary. The beauty of this
j mode is that the flavor of the fruit is retain
’ ed, while there is no danger of its spoiling
by fermentation. Fruits, when preserved
| in the usual way—pound for pound—are
made too sweet, and lose their distinctive
j flavor so much that it ditiers little whether
iitis a preserved peach or a potato. Be
sides, without care, preserves are apt to
ferment and spoil.— Southern Cultivator.

NIAGARA SUSPENSION BRIDGE.
The correspondent “Sentinel,” of the
Courier and Enquirer adds this pleasant bit
of description to the items, always of in
terest, relating to the classic topic of Niag
i ara:
“But imperfect conceptions can he for
med by description of the exquisite beau
ty of the Suspension Bridge, as it has re
cently been perfected. It is absolutely
, fascinating, by its own loveliness and the
| surpassingly beautiful scenes that on ei
! ther side are visible. The floorway is
I now composed of small hut closely an !
: compactly fitted boards, very neat and am
j pie in strength. Four large cables of
; strong wire have been added. Guys of
wire are placed from rocks beneath, so
! that the biidge cannot swing in the wind.
‘ r he immense towers on either side are
| painted black, the larger cables red, and
, the flooring and ornamental side work
white. The ellect of the mingled colors is
j
charming. I wandered from the Falls
down to the Bridge, close on the river ;
side, or rather on the heights, ami was
| constrained to stop often to gaze at the
I successive scenes of wild and superb pre
sentation. Viewed from a short distance.
: the bridge looks like a collection of 61a
; ments of glass, spun by some curious and ,
! adventurous artist, thrown like the woven ,
i web from one to the other shore. The
true way to enjoy the view is to cross on
foot; and, indeed to linger on the bridge.
To day it rose and fell in the strong wind
with the motion of a wave, slow and gen
tle. Its side framework is light, and like
a bird-cage, but it is strong enough ; and
thus with the whirlpool’s rage beneath,
and the peaceful heaven above the swift
white foam of the water, and the passing
white cloud on high, it realizes what Hal
leck means when he says,
* Borne, like Loretto’s chapel through tho air!’
Firm as the bridge is (and it transits safely
very heavy loads,) if walking upon it, and
another person enters on it, you can feel it
vibrate under you like an artery.”

A SCENE IN THE RAILROAD CARS.
BY PAUL CKEYTON.
Not long since a sober middle-aged gen
tleman was quietly dozing in one of the
Eastern railroad trains, when his pleasant
drowsy meditations were interrupted by
the sharp voice of the individual by his
side. This was no less a personage than
a dandified, hot-blooded, inquisitive French
man, who raised his hairy visage close to
that of the gentleman he addressed.
“ Pardonnez, sare ; but wot you do viz
ze pictair —liein I”
As he spoke, he pointed to a pair of
beautiful steelplatc engravings, in frames,
which the quiet gentleman held in his lap,
and which suited the fancy of the little
French connoisseur precisely.
The quiet gentleman looked at the in
quisitive foreigner with a scowl, which he
meant to he very forbidding, and made no
reply. The Frenchman, nothing daunted,
once more approached his hairy visage to
that of his companion, and repeated his
question—
“ Vat you do viz de pictair— hein ?”
“1 am taking them to Salem,” replied
the quiet gentleman, gruffly.
“Ha! you take ’em 1o sell ’em V’ chim
ed in the shrill voice of the Frenchman.
“l be glad of zat, by gar! I like ze
pictair. I buy ’em of yon. How much
you ask ?”
“They are not for sale,” replied the
sleepy gentleman, more thoroughly awake,
by the way, and not a little irritated.
“ Hein ?” grunted monsieur, in aston
ishment. “ Vat you say, sare ?”
“ I say I don’t want to sell the pictures,”
cried the other at the top of his voice.
“By gar! cest drole ,” exclaimed the
Frenchman, his eyes beginning to flash
with passion. “It is one strange circum
stance, parblue! I ask you vat you do
viz ze pictair, and you say you will not
sell ’em ! Vat you mean, sare, hein ?”
“ I mean what I say,” replied the other
sharply. “ I don’t want to sell the engra
vings, and I didn’t tell you I did.”
“ Morblue /” sputtered monsieur, in a
tone loud enough to attract the attention of
those of his fellow passengers who were
not already listening. ‘Morblue! you
mean to say I'ave not any earl Non
monsieur ! By gar, I hear ver’ well vat you
tell me! You say you sell ze pictair. Is
it because I be one Frenchman, zat you
will not sell to me ze pictair V’
The irritated gentleman, hoping to rid
himself of the annoyance, turned his back
upon his assailant, and made no reply.
But monsieur was not lo be put off thus.
He laid his hand upon the shoulder of the
other, and showing his small white teeth,
exclaimed—
“ Sacristie! Monsieur, 7.is is too much !
You ’ave give me one insult, and 1 shall
“ave satisfaction !”
“By gar, monsieur,” continued the
Frenchman, “you are not one gentleman, 1
shall call you one poltroon —vat you call
‘em I—coward !”
“ What do you mean V ’ retorted the
other, afraid the affair was beginnig to be
serious. “ I have’nt insulted you sir.”
“Pardonnez , monsieur, but it is one
grand insult! In America, perhaps not
—but in France one blow your brains out
for zat.”
“ For what, pray t”
“ For vat 1 Parblue ! you call me one
Mentuer, how you speak ’em, liar 1 you
call me one liar 1”
“Oh, no, sir. You misunderstood —”
“No, by gar! I‘ave got ears. You
say you will sell ze pic’air; and when I
tell you vat, you say zc contraire —zat is
not so!”
“But I didn't tell you I would sell the
pictures,” remonstrated the man with the
engravings, beginning to feel alarmed at
the passion manifested by the other. “You
misunderstand —”
“1 teel you no! It is not poseebl - !
When I ask you vat you do viz ze pic
tures, vat you sav 1”
“1 said I was taking them to Salem.”
“ Tes, parblue'.” exclaimed monsieur
more angry than ever, “ you say you take
’em to sell ’em.”
“ No, no,” interrupted the other ; “ not
to sell them , but to Sa-lcm , the city of Sa
lem.”
“Ze city of Scll’em!” exclaimed the
Frenchman amid the roars of laughter that
greeted his ears. “ Sarcastiel Zat it is
one grand mistake. Pardon monsieur.
Quel bete ? Ze city of Sell’em 1 Ila, ha!
I will remember zat, by gar!”
And he stroked his mustache with his
fingers, while tlie man with the pictures
once more gave way to his drowsy inclin
ations.
MORE CURIOSITIES.
A brace of curiosities carefully wrapped
up and labelled as follows lias been recent
ly sent to the National Museum.
The rope with which Jacob “lifted up
his voice.”
A few stiches taken by a Taylor in a
coat of paint.
We will send on in a few days a little
perfume from the flower of the army; a
respectable Irishman washed ashore by the
tide of emigration; a minute quantity of
jelly made from the current of the Missis
sippi ; a few soaked logs from the drift of
a discourse ; and a thimble-fnll of steel
dust supposed to have been made when
Macbeth “filed his mind.”
Titles. Some few years since, there
was a young English nobleman figuring
away at Washington. He had not much
brains, but a vast number of titles, which,
notwithstanding our pretended dislike to
them, have sometimes the effect of tickling
the ear amazingly. Several ladies were
in debate, going over the list. “He is
Lord Viscount so and so, Baron of such a
county,” &c. “My fair friends.” ex
claimed the gallant Lieut. N., “one of his
titles you seem to have forgotten.” “Ah !”
exclaimed they, “what is thatl” “He is
Barren of Intellect ,” was the reply.
A Repartee. The best “lick” we
have seen lalely at official dignity, comes
from the Picayune. The incident transpir
ed some years since in the Legislature of
j Louisiana. “Sir,” said a member from
Assumption, “ I am here, the proud repre
sentative of my constituents; I am here
from the Parish of Assumption, and while
1 stand on this floor 1 and Assumption are
of a piece.” “ Yes,” said an honorable
opposite, “ and you are the d—Jest piece
of assumption that was ever heard of.”
OP IS A !L V a
PURE WATER TIIE BEST DRINK.
There is no axiom of health more just
than that “ men never have a true appetite
till they eat with relish any ordinary food.”
It is told of John Bailes, who lived to the
age of one hundred and twenty-eight, that
his food for the most part consisted of
brown bread anff cheese, and his drink
water and milk. He had buried the town
of Northamton twenty times over, except
ing three or four; and it is said strong
drink killed them all. Water manifestly
is the natural beverage of all animals:
whole nations, as the Mahometans and the
Hindoos, use it alone as a beverage; and.
unlike other drink, it will not sate the ap
palite, but the contrary; indeed, it was ob
served by Hvpocrates, above two thousand
years ago, that water-drinkers have gener
ally keen appetites. It is a fluid that re
quires no digestion, for it is not necessary
that it should undergo any changes ; it is
the natural menstruum that holds in solu
tion both what is essential for the healthy
functions of the body, and what has be
come a refuse, after serving its destine of
fice and intention in the animal kingdom.
Water, therefore, from its congenial quali
ties, can never much disturb the system;
and when it does, it is speedily expelled by
its natural oulets, the skin and kidneys.—
It is told of Lord Heathfield, so well known
for his hardy habits of military discipline
and watchfulness, that his food was vege
table and his drink water, never indulging
himself in animal food or wine. And Sir
John Sinclair, in his work on longevity,
| says, in’his account of Mary Campbell,
I then aged one hundred and five, that she
perferred cure water to any other drink.
One of our city watchmen having
found an inebriate stretched out at full
length in a cast iron pipe, Jem remarked
that the fellow was “pretty well off for li
quor, as he had laid in a whole pipe at
once.”
BeS- A little management may often e
vade resistance, which a vast force might
vainly strive to overcome.
A Philosopher once told a miser:
“ You do not possess your wealth, but
your wealth possesses you.”
