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.

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! § L J a, 111 IF J i’ J JF > 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. — Westminster Review. 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. !o©aai©© 0 waiEit ©a3ii®i a 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.” ij &* mm u (E j sir ♦ 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.
