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. [Longfellow 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. ©laiSfiu 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. DID YOU EVER? Did you ever know a merchant that did not sell “ten percent cheaper than any oth er man in town ?” Did you ever know two men to spend six hours in sharp controversy, and not af terwards disagree more widely than when they began ? Did you ever see an old maid who had not refused many flattering proposals of marriage from “ genteel and wealthy young men,” in her juvenile days ? Did you ever pass five minutes with a representative in the Legislature, without his aching to let you know that he filled that office? Did you ever know a trader about to “burst up,” who, according to his own sto ry, was not doing a most prosperous busi ness ? Did you ever see a preacher who thought he “ had a call” from a high salary to alow one ? Did you ever know a litigious man who was not strongly in favor of kill-lawyer legislation! Did you ever have a friend, who, when you didn’t know what to do with your “ loose change,” couldn’t suggest some means of relieving you from your perplex ity ? Did you ever see a man who efpected not to become a Christian before death ? Did you ever “come the giraffe” over a blood-thirsty musquito, after getting fairly mad with him ? Did you ever know a knave that ascribed good motives to others ? Did you ever know a spendthrift that was not going to be more saving “ next year ?” Did you ever subscribe to a railroad pro ject, the cost of which did not overrun the estimates ? Did you ever want to borrow money of \ a friend, who had not “just at that moment j lent all he had” to somebody else ? Did you ever know a rich man who j couldn’t talk gloriously of “virtuous pov i erty!” i Did you ever see a man prosper in bus ’ iness who was in the habit of borrowing money at more than six per cent ? Did you ever know a critic who did not j consider everything he was unable to com j prebend, as nonsense? Did you ever see a man who in accept ing office was not actuated solely by a de sire to serve his country ? Did you ever know a mechanic to do a job perfectly well, after being screwed down below the fair living price? Did you ever see a stingy fellow who was not temperate from principle—or a fool who considered it respectable to joke,—or a young lady whose age did not remain stationary after she had reached twenty ? Did you ever ? Yankee Blade. 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.” if ! n% *lk 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. T.X^I-l-XXHTTMAXeaB.
