NO NIGHT BUT HATH ITS MORN,
There are limes of deepest sorrow,
When the h. art feel- lone and sad ;
Times when memory’s spells of magic,
Have in gloom the spirit clad.
Voulilat thou have a wand all potent
To illumine life’s darkest night 1
’Tis the thought that e’er in nature
Darkest hours precede thelight.
Win n the world, cold, dark- and selfish,
Frowns upon the feeble flame,
Lighted from the torch of genius,
Worth lias kindled round thy name ;
When thy fondest hopes arc blighted,
And thy dearest prospects fade,
Think, Oh ! lone one, scorned and slighted,
Sunshine ever follows shade,
THE ARROW AND THE SONG.
1 shot an arrow into the air.
It fell to earth, 1 knew not where ;
For. so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fill to earth 1 knew not whore ;
Fur who has sightsokecn and strong.
That it can follow the flight of song !
Long, lor gafterward, in an oak
I found the arrow still unbroke ;
And the song, from beginning to end,
1 found again in the heart of a friend.

MARRYING A WASHERWOMAN
FOR MONEY.
The Literary World translates a pleasant
sketch of Dufresny, the poet and humorist,
who, after flourishing on the bounty of
Louis XIV., as a bachelot, so prodigally
that he become poor, and was snubbed by
the king as a common beggar, married his
washerwoman for her money, and then re
ally fell in love with her and lived so till
her death. We take up the narrative just
after Dufresny had thrown his hat under
the feet of the king’s horses, and had a
crown flung at him as an unknown men
dicant. The squanderer of half a million
took it with great philosophy, thus :
Dufresny returned to his lodging, think
ing that a wife, the first he could get,
would be a treasure to him in his misery.
With a wife he would be sure of a home
and of bread, without anxiety; he had his
days of ennui, a wife would make them
pass pleasantly. A letter from Biancoletti
invoked a little of his humor for the finish
ing touch of a piece he had in hand.—
Dufresny mended his pen and sat down to
answer the letter. lie had not written
three lines, when a woman, without any
previous notice, walked into his room.
“Alas,” said he, “people formerly took j
the trouble to wait in the ante-chamber; j
here’s the inconvenience of no longer be- ‘
ing a fine gentleman, and particularly ol ,
not having an antechamber.”
The woman, who had heard Dufresny’s i
remark, said to him very coolly, “I went
through all your rooms without meeting
with a single valet, otherwise I should j
have had myself announced.”
Dufresny recognizing the voice, turned i
with a merry smile, “Ah, is it you, Ange
liquet lam glad it is, 1 was waiting for j
mv rulilcs with impatience.”
That is very well, Monsieur Dufresny,
hut you have had no ruffles in the wash
this long time.”
This woman was Dufresny’s washerwo- ;
man, a large girl, pleasent and fresh com
plexioned, and with her dress coquettishly
set off. “Do you know, Angelique,”
continued the poet, in resuming his letter,
“ that you are a very pretty girl 1”
“That is possible, Monsieur Dufresny, I
but I am not to be paid with that kind of
money to-day. You have owe !me eighty
livres this long time. I beg you to remem
ber me, for 1 am going to be married.”
“ How’s that! you are going to be mar
ried?” cried Dufresny, suddenly starting
from his chair.
“And why not’ if you please. Am I
not old enough ?”
Dufresny had become thoughtful—
“ With whom and with what ?”
“With a valet de chambre of the
Due d’Harcourt, and with twelve hundred
livres which come to me from my family.”
“ The duce ! the miserable fellow is not
to be pitied, a good match in faith! Has
anything yet ?’’
“What do you take me for, Monsieur
Dufresny ?”
“ For a fine girl who desires only to be
come a fine wife.”
“ That is all very well, Monsieur Du
fresny, but you are making me lose my
time with all your fine talk. Come, be
kind enough to settle your little bill.”
“ I have a horror of figures. See here,
to finish this matter, I will marry you, and
we are quits.”
“You are joking ? A gentleman—if I
take you at your word ”
“That is what I wish. Hut what will
yonr other friend say ?”
“ Say no more about him !”
“Are you sure he has had nothing on
account from your twelve hundred livres,
or from yourself ?”
“1 should have liked to have seen him
try to! It is only to you that people give
anything on account.”
I “ Well, embace me, and let ns be off to
the next tavern. What a pretty wife 1
‘am going to have! By the by, have you
a little money about you ?”
“ Do you know that you do me a great
deal of honor ? A man of your rank and
! of your talents to marry a poor girl incap
able of playing the part of a duchess.”
“It is you who will be the dupe; look
at the matter twice; see to what a state 1
; have arrived with alt my talent and my
j forty-five years.”
Angelique, weeping, embraced him. —
“Tomorrow,” said she, with charming
I naivete , “I will make you look as’well as
II have seen you formerly. But, first and
’ foremost, you must ask me in marringe of
■ my aunt Durard, for form’s sake, it is not
| far, quia des Tournelles. She is a good
j woman, and, besides, she keeps my money
j for me.”
“ Let us go instanter; we should never
; put off anything to the morrow. If you
j will take my advice we will afterwards
say a short prayer together at Notre Dame,
’ and it will be all over.”
“ So this is the style in which you wish
to marry me; thank Heaven, I do not agree j
with you.”
“Oh, I am willing to marry you in any
style you wish. 1 will not even object to
the marriage contract, though all these
[things are superfluous!”
Three weeks afterwards the marriage
took place rather privately. Such was the
manner in which Dufresny married his
washerwoman. Nothing was ever more
natural than this marriage, which caused
so much scandal. But what mattered the
vain satires of the world to Dufresny! he
had a young and handsome wife who lov
ed him, so he said those who pitied him
were jealous.
Le Sage thus relates this singular adven
ture, in the tenth chapter of his “ Devil up
on Two Sticks.” The devil is showing
Cleophas the people who should be put in
the madhouse.
“ I also wish to send there,” says he
“an old fellow of pood family , who no
soonei gets a ducat that he spends it, and
who, not being able to exist without mon
ey, is capable ol doing anything to obtain
it. Fifteen days ago his washerwoman,
whom he owed thirty pistoles, came to ask
him for them, saying that she needed them,
as she was about to marry a valet de cham
hre who had proposed to her. “You
have other money then,” said he to her
“ for where the plague can you find a valet
de chambre willing to become your hus
band for thirty pistoles?” “Eh! but,”
answered she, “ I have two hundred du
cats besides that.” “Two hundred ducats!”
replied he with emotion ; “ malopcste , you
have only to give them to me, l will mar
ry you, and we will be quits.” He was
taken at his word, and his washerwoman
has become his wife.
The news of this marriage was soon ex
tended far and wide, thanks to the bon
mot of the Abbe Pellegrin, who had been
present at the celebration. Dufresny some
days alter rallied him at Vise’s for always
wearing dirty linen ; the Abbe, piqued at
at this, responded that everybody was not j
fortunate enough to marry a washerwo
man.
STRONG MEN.
In later ages, indeed, we have some ac
counts of amazing strength, which we can !
have no reason to doubt of. But in these, ‘
nature is found to pursue her ordinary
course and we find their strength accident
al. We find these strong men among the
lowest of the people, and gradually rising j
into notice, as this superiority had more op
portunity of being seen. Os this number
was the Roman tribune, who went by the
name of the second Achilles; who, with his
own hand, is said to have killed, at differ
ent times, three hundred of the enemy ; and
when treacherously set upon, by twenty
live of his own countrymen, although then
past his sixtieth year, killed fourteen of
them before he was slain. Os this number
was Milo, who, when lie stood upright,
j could not he forced out of his place. Pli
l ny also tells us of one Athanatus, who
walked across the stage at Rome, loaded
: with a breast-plate weighing five hundred
pounds, and buskins of the same weight.
But of all the prodigies of strength, of
j whom we have any account in Roman his
| tory, Maxitnin, the emperor, is to be reck
oned the foremost. Whatever we are told
relative to him is well attested ; his char
acter was too exalted not to be thoroughly
known; and that very strength, for which
he was celebrated, at last procured him no
less a reward than the empire of the world.
Maximin was above nine feet in height,
and the best proportioned man in the whole
empire. He was by birth a Thracian ; and
from being a simple herdsman, rose through
the gradations of office, until he came to he
emperor of Rome. The first opportunity
he had of exerting his strength, was in the
presence of all the citizens, in the theatre,
where he overthrew twelve of the strongest
men in wiestling, and outstript two of the
fleetest horses in running, all in one day.
He could draw a chariot loaded, that two
strong horses could not move; he could
break a horse's jaw with a blow of his fist,
and its thigh with a kick. In war he was
always foremost and invincible; happy had
it been for hint and his subjects if, frombe
j ing formidable to his enemies, he had not
! become still more so to his subjects; he
reigned, for some time, with all the world
his enemy; all mankind wishing him dead,
yet none daring to strike the blow. As if
fortune had resolved that through lite he
should continue unconquerable, he was
killed at last by bis own soldiers while lie
was sleeping.

POWER OF LOVE.
The senlirrfent of Itive is too frequently
made light of; that which has been the
central fire of many revolutions, is mock-
I ingly referred to as if it were a subject for
trifling. But love in a woman has a true
meaning. Love in man is an ennobling
passion; it is as dew upon the flowers, as
purple dawn upon the sky, as the quiet
streamlet in the valley as an orchard res
plendent with early blossoms ; it is a morn
ing prayer; it is an evening hymn; it
is a child asleep dreaming of heaven. It
may he as a deluge that spreads around a
viewless waste, without adove,olive branch,
or rainbow; it may be as a fruitful field
’ withered with a poisoned wind ; it may be
’ as a delectable mountain thrown asunder
j by the inward fire; it may be as the home
sicknes of the exile; it maybe despair; it
may be insanity, that Bings low and melan
choly airs; it may be insanity that laughs
aloud and then expires. Love, while its
I object lives in purity, makes a poet of him
with whom it dwells—the plough-boy in
the field—the sailor in the shrouds has his
dreams and glories; he has in his own way
the most passionate imagination—it kin
dles up the dormant faculties—it rouses fan
cy in the stupid—it looses the tongue of
the stammerer—it lends the most illiterate
[ speech and eloquence—represses sensuali
ty; and tames even the savage—it gives
joy and fear and happiness, it renderseven
the mean heroic, and fills them with self
respect. Out of visions of youth may have
come the flames that have illumed the path
to greatness. The captain in his floating
castle, the general in his tented field, the
magistrate in his duties, may each, if he
will, look back and find in love the in.pulse
that led him on to power.— Giles’ Lectures
on Don Quixotte.

Tut Fly on the Ctur.ior Wheel. —
There are some little fellows in the world
who fancy that they have a finger in the
production of every big pie with which
they are thrown into juxta-position. Some
satirist, who has no great reverence for
these Lilliputians, thus amplifies the old
fable of the fly on the chariot wheel for
j their benefit:
“‘Put on the steam! 1 am in haste,’
cries a snail that has crept into a railroad
car. ‘Crack it again, my good fellow!’
ejaculates a fly that has lit on the folds of
a thunder cloud. ‘What a prodigious re
verberation !’ says a woodpecker, tapping
a hollow tree cm the roaring verge of Ni
agara. ‘ I fear my house will be shaken
down,’ mutters a mouse, as the walls of
the cathedral rock with the throes of the
earthquake. ‘What a deal of observation
we excite!’ says a bumble-bee buzzing
aloug in the trail of a comet. *We leave
the very ocean split asunder 1’ exclaims a
perch darting along in the wake of a whale.
‘Bury me with my face to the foe!’ cries
a cockroach dying in the battle of the Nile.
‘ What a long shadow I cast!’ hoots an
owl gazing at an eclipse of the sun. ‘The
spoils of victory !’ screams a hardy hawk,
pouncing on an elephant struck by light
ning.”

AN ENLIGHTENED MECHANIC.
Gov. Everett of Massachusetts, in one of
his public addresses, thus speaks of a
Mechanic of his acquaintance :
“I scarce know if I may venture to ad
duce an instance, nearer home, of the most
praise worthy and successful cultivation of
useful knowledge, on the part of an indi
vidual without education, busily employed |
in mechanical industry. I have the pleas
ure to be acquainted, in one of the neigh
bouring towns, with a person, who was
brought up to the trade of a leather-dress
er, and has all his life worked, and still
works at this business. He has devoted
his leisure hours, and a portion of his hon
orable earnings, to the cultivation of use
ful and elegant learning. Under the same
roof, whichcovers his store and workshop,
he has the most excellent library of Eng
lish books, for its size, with which I am
acquainted. The hooks have been select
ed with a good judgement, which would
do credit to the most accomplished scholar,
and have been imported from England by
himself. What is more important than
having the books, their proprietor is well
acquainted with their contents. Among
them are several volumes of the most cost
ly and’magnificent engravings. Connected
with his library, is and exceedingly inter
esting series of paintings, in watercolours,
which a fortunate accident placed in his
possession, and several valuable pictures,
purchased by himself. The whole form a
treasure of taste and knowledge, not sur
passed, if equalled, by anything of its
kind in the country.”
Govenor Everett might have added that
the leading traits in Mr. Dowse’s charact
er are sound sense and good taste; and no
more decisive proof of these characteristics
could be given than his steady adherence
to his original business. In the same ad
dress from which the above paragraph is
quoted, the eloquent orator urges upon
all working men the same duty of mental
cultivation, not as affording the opportuni
ty of abandoning their trade; but as giving
them the means of embellishing it. Lo
renzo de Medicis by commerce raised his
family to princely rank—they were the
merchant kings of their age. The Ameri
can mechanic has no occasion to seek any
advancement of this sort, for every voter
in our country is something greater than a
king; by virtue of the elective franchise
he is a maker of kings. When 1 speak of
adhering to one’s trade, l would by no
means he understood to lay down a rule
without exeptions. Emergencies may oc
cur which shall render it a paramount duty
to enter upon anew and difficult profession.
The mechanic, like any other citizen, may
be suddenly called upon to shoulder his
musket and defend his country from inva
sion, as happened in the case of General
Greene; or he may he required to aid the
same great cause by his wisdom in council,
as in the case of Sherman and Franklin.—
When a country is to be saved by valor or
wisdom, it becomes a matter of absolute
necessity that the working men should
contribute a large contingent towards the
grand army of defence as well as well as
the council of the nation. For a time, at
least, anew course of life must then be em
braced. But the greatest, and most cele
brated among those who have been detach
ed from their trade, or any other, have al
ways shown an honest pride in their origi
nal calling. Girard wrote himself mariner
in his will; and Franklin called himself
printei in his epitaph.
STRIKES.
The northern press chronicles the aban
donment of work by different classes of la
borers, because the price pf labor is now
reduced to the starvation point. It has al
ways appeared as the result of deliberate
reflection, that this species of contest be
tween capital and toil was unequal, and
must terminate by the submission of labor
ers. But they have in their own hands, if
they would properly use them, the means
of victory. Let them associate together,
combine their skill—their credit —their
money, and open shops on their own ac
count. Let them repudiate altogether their
connection with employers, and as a joint
stock company, whose capital is mainly la
bor, set up for themselves, and they will
soon have the control of prices in their
own hands. In many cities groceries have
been established by a joint stock company
of laborers, one of the members conducting
the establishment, and every member of
the association purchasing all his supplies
from the common establishment, paying
the smallest possible advance on the cost
price of necessary articles of consumption,
and sharing in the profits of the establish
ment in the ratio of the stock contributed.
No establishment of this kind has proved
unsuccessful where it has been judiciously
managed, and the proprietors have lessen
ed their expenses and made profits on the
money invested. The same principle may
be indefinitely extended, and labor, which
is the true source of all capital, may con
trol the business, with its profits,which now
is in the hands of monied men alone.
This is what we would term practical as
sociated labor, and the hint is thrown out
for the thoughtful consideration of our
readers. —Louisiana Statesman.
There must be harmony between the
employer and the employed. The former
has the capital at his command —and this is
what controls things everywhere.
„,£|iis fault is not so much in the em
ployer as in the system; anil this we see
no way of permanently regulating, except
by one of two means: either workmen
must turn farmers, which will give them
an independence above the reach of their
fellow men ; or they must join together
and, with aggregated capital and labor,
form large establishments and unite the of
fice of workman and employer. This lat
ter plan has never been tested , and so many
obstacles stand in its way that we doubt
whether it can he looked to as a means of
relief. —Mobile Herald.
