I will Woo again.
BY LIZZIE.
I will woo, but the brightest gem
That ever met these eyes of mine,
Shell be the rval diadem—
The holy light of love divine.
And be this pearl of priceless worth
The only jewel of ur> heart,
Till earth ahull turn to mother earth,
I’ll woo him, never to depart.
I'll woo him in the calm of life—
i'll woo him in temptation’* storm.
Amidst tue tins la of passion’* strife,,
I'll woo llim to protect from harm.
I'll woo Him in the earthly blight,
When I’m of worthy comforts shorn —
I'll woo Him in the depths ol’ night,
I’ll woo Him in the wake of morn.
I’ll woo Him as my only guide
To those celestial courts above ;
I'll woo no other love beside,
For other love might faithless prove.
I'll woo Him as my only friend,
Who'll be closer Ilian tt brother—
Who will be faithful to the cud,
I tnay not, will not trust another.
I’ll woo Him as the mighty Lord—
The Sovereign King of earth and Heav'n,
And yield obedience to Ilis wind.
And love Him, for we’ve much forgiven.
I’d woo Him,yes, with all my soul,
With all tny mind, with all my power—
Till every part I'm made whole,
I’ll woo him to my latest hour.
And in anticipations bright,
Ambition’s joyful wing won't! soar
Up to the brightest realms of light,
And much the highest note— that lore
Tho praise of Him I love to woo.
O, mny Ho over he the gem —
The beautiful, the kind the true —
My lore, my all, my Diadem.
Cuthbcrt, Aug. 1850.
Love nnd “Niggers.”
Why still, sweet Helen, thus severe:
Abate at length those cruel rigors,
Thou knowest how I love thee, dear,
Thou knowest how I loye thy niggers.
Oh ! lift me from this dark abyss
Os anguish, dear bewitchihg*railer !
I have r;o other coal but this,
I Ituve no credit with my tuilor.
My bruins, at times, wild visions scire,
Chill fears around my heurt ate flocking,
Mv pants grow white about the knees,
My hat is absolutely shocking.
This feeblo frnmo is wasting Ih-t,
For love is strong and hunger stronger ;
The bracelet that I tent lliee last
Was bought cm tick—they trust no longer.
Why tell me that my words are wild ?
Why my in.id feelings bid me tutor ?
The man that wins thy father's child,
Thou knowest, Helen, wilts the ‘pewter.’
‘Tis vain to talk to Love of rale,
The heart is no such docile scholar;
1 love thee, Helen, like n foul.
For thou bust tlic almighty dollar.
I love thy pouting, cherry lips,
Dearer than ever bee loved honey;
I love thy rosy finger-tips,
Thy laughing eyes, thy ready money.
I love thy little fairy feet,
So small tho merest child could spun ’em,
Tliv checks like peaches fit to eat.
Thy hundred cotton bales per annum.
1 love thy glorious golden cm Is
That grace thy neck of alabaster;
Tliv little ‘itipgei 1 boys and girls;
1 long to Iteut them call me master.
Ah ! yes, to sunt tny love for then
Would lu, file all the power of figures;
Mv heart were flint indeed to sec.
Unmoved, that splendid lot of'niggers.’
1 love tho nlr that plays around
Thy brow, thy form, thy habitation ;
I worship e’en the very ground
Thy footsteps press—’tis thy plantation.
E’en win it iii slumber's arms I rest,
My spirit still thino image follows ;
1 clasp tliee to my throbbing breast.
And find thee—joy I—a sack of dollar*.
The vision changes: now I kneel
Bolote thee, and a speech bcgitini g,
1 see thee—rapture ! —head to heel
Turned to a score of ‘niggers’ grinning.
Can dreams so blissful, so divine,
Prove cheating I'unri sos a minute?
Oh I no: that lilly hand is mi tie —
That hand and all the tin that’s in it.
Then, then, delights untold
Bltall we, sweet Helen, be partakers,
Winn bound in one bright chain of gold.
We settle on thy father’s acres
Thy Pear ItciiKinhort'd Name.
Softly, softly, o’er my heart-strings,
Sweeps the music of thy name;
t And that music, in remembrance
I would evermore retain.
Like the softened breath of evening.
O’er the green and floiver.crown’d hill,
!'would have that gentle cadence
Linger round toy heart-harp still.
O, ’tis thrilling, sweetly, wildly,
O’er my spirit’s fluttering chords,
Lut tny lips can ne’er express i t
By the softest, mildest words
Yet as puio as ever star-beam
Glistened from the heavenly plain t
On my spirit fulls tho music
Os thy dear remembered name.
Liiietb
When morning lifts the veil of night.
And spreads o’er earth its blaze of light,
I turn and look thy smile to see,
But ’lis not here to beam on me.
When noon-day comes with all its strife,
And nature seems so full of silo.
My anxious thoughts run after thee,
Toough thou art far away fiom me.
When evening’s twilight gently comes,
And others seek their happy homes,
My heart, dear one, will turn to thee.
Though thy fair lace I cannot see.
And whpn the hour arrives for rest,
“I he thought hes heavy on my breast—
Thou art not here !—and fancy free.
My spirit rushes after thee. B;
Short of News.
Some time ago, rt lady noticing a neigh
bor who was not in her seat nt Church
one Subbath, called on her return home
to inquire what should detain so punctual
an attendant. On entering the house,
site found the family busy at work. She
was surprised when her friend addressed
her—
“ Why, la ! where have you been to
day, dressed up iu your Sunday clothes ?’’
“ To raccting.”
“ Why, what day is it ?”
“ Subbath day.'’
“ Sal, stop washing in a minute ! Sab
bath day ! Well, I did not know, for
my husband lias got so plaguy st ngy he
won’t take the papers now, and we know
nothing. Well, who preached ?”
“Mr. ”
“ What did he preach about ?’’
“ It was on the death of our Savior.”
“Why, is he dead? Well, all Boston
might be dead, and we know nothing
about it. It won’t do ;we must have
the newspaper again, for everything goes
wrong without it. Bill has almost lost
his reading, and Polly has got quite mo
pish again, because she has no poetry and
stories to read. Well, if we have to take
a cart load of peaches to market, 1 am
resolved to have the paper.”
[Only $2 a year, in advance ]
One hatty heart. —listve you made
one happy heart to-day ? Envied privi
lege ! How calmly you can seek your
pillow ; how sweetly sleep 1 In all this
world, there is nothing so sweet as giving
comfort to the distressed ; as getting a
sun-ray into a gloomy heart. Children
of sorrow meet us wherever we turn ;
there is not a moment that tears are not
sited and sighs uttered. Yet how many
of those sighs are caused by our own
thoughtlessness? How many a daugh
ter wrings the very soul of a fond mother
by acts of unkinduess and ingratitude ?
llow many husbands, by one little word,
make a whole-day of sad hours and un
kind thoughts ? How many wives, by
recrimination, estrange and embitter lov
ing hearts ? How many brothers and
sisters meet but to vex and injure each
other, making words that no human uit
can heal ? Ah !if each one worked upon
this maxim day by day—strive to make
some heart happy—jealousy, revenge,
madness, hate, with their kindred evil as
sociates, would forever leave the earth.
Waste no Time. —Enjoy life moment
by moment Let not an hour pass in
which you do not catch one pleasing im
pression. See the sunlight lying in guld
en shafts upon the carpet at your feet
Enjoy its spleudor. Let your mind re
vert to the wonder that the sun perforins
on its ceaseless round—the movement
wanning the heart of the shrouded vege
tation that shall spring up to life, giving
joy iu its turn to others.
A Sweet Sentiment, —There are re
fined kinds of sentiment as there are of j
sugar ; man, for instance, takes his in the
lump—hard, though easily melted with a
tear; but with a woman, it is always
moist.
Gentility. —Gentility is neither in
birth, wealth, manner, nor fashion—but
in the mind. A high sense of honor, a
determination never to take a mean ad
vantage of another, an adherence to
truth, delicacy, and politeness toward
those with whom we have dealings, aro
its essential characteristics.
‘Annette, my dear, what country is op
posite to ns ou the globe ?’
‘Don’t know, sir.’
‘Well, now,’ continued the perplexed
teacher, ‘if 1 were to bore a hole through
the earth, and you were to go in at this
end, where would you come out. at ?’
‘Out of the hole , sir,’ replied the pupil,
with an air of triumph at having solved
the great question.
Men talk in raptures of youth atul
beauty, wit and uprightness ; but after
seven years of union, not one of them i*
to be compared to good family manage
ment, which is seen at every meal, and
felt every hour in the husband’s purse.
To one who said, ‘I do not believe there
is an honest man iu the world,’ another
replied, ‘lt is impossible that one man
should know all the world, but quite pos
sible that one may know himself.’
Iu ancient days the celebrated precept
was, ‘know thyself;’ in modem times it
lias been supplanted by the more fashion
able maxim, ‘know thy neighbor, and ev
erything about him.'— Johnson.
Palace Discovered under Ground
The remains of a magnificent palace have
been discoverd under a garden in the Isle
of Capri. It must not only have been
splendid in structure, but in situation,
commanding a view of the bay of Paler
mo and Naples. Marble of various colors
was used in its construction, and all ap
artments, as far as the excavations have
proceeded, are of the most spacious and
elegant character. The floorway is twelve
(eel wide and of w hite matble ami tfie
rooms are paved in mosaic, while the
walls are painted red, blue, &c. Several j
coins of tiie reign ol Augustus and Tibe
rius have been found, some of them dis j
closing the curious fact that the coins of;
one reign were at times recoined in an-’
other. — Boston Journal.
The smiles that encourage severity of
judgment hide malice and mcinceriiy. j
No Cl loom at Home.
Above all things thete should be no
gloom in the home. The shadows ofdatk
discontent and wasting fretfulness should
never cross the threshold, throwing their
large, black shapes, like funeral palls ovei
the happy young spirits gathered there.
If you will, your borne shall be heaven
and every inmate an angel there. If you
will yon shall sit on a throne and be the
presiding household deity. O! faithful
wife—what privileges, what treasures,
greater or purer than thine ?
And let the husband siiive to forget his
cares, as he w inds around the long, nar
row street and beholds the soft light illu
mining his little parlor, spreading its pre
cious beams on tiie red pave before it.—
The night is cold, and cheerless, perhaps,
and the December gust battles with the
worn skirts of his old overcoat, and snatch
es with a rude hand and wailing cry, at
the rustv hat that has served him many a
j year. He has been harrassed, perplexed,
persecuted. He has borne with many a
cruel tone, many a cold word, and nerv
! ed himself up to an energy so desperate,
i that his frame and spirits are weakened
and depressed. Anil now his limbs ache
j with weariness; his temples thrub with
j tfie pain-beat caused by a too constant ap
plication He. scarcely knows how to
meet his wile with a pleasant smile, or sit
down cheerfully to their little meal which
she has provided with so much care.
But the door *, opened—the over-coat
thrown hastily off. A sweet, singing voice
falls upon itis ear, and the tones ate so
soft and glad, that Hope, like a winged
angel, flies light into his bosom and nest
les agirist his lieait.
The latch is lilted, and the smiling face
ol his wife gives an earnest welcome.—
The shining hair is smoothed over her lair
brow—indeed she stole a little coquettish
glance at the mirror hanging in its nar
row frame, just to see il she looked neat
and pietty, before she came out Her
eye beams w ill) love—her dress is taste
ful—aod—what ? Why! tie forgets all the
trials of that long, long day; as he folds
her in ids arms and imprints a kiss upon
her blow.
A home where gloom is banished
presided over by one who ha- learned to
rule herself and her household, Chiislian
ity ! —oh ! he is thrice consoled lor all his
trials. He cannot be unhappy —that
sweetest, best, deaiest solace, is Lis—a
cheeiful home. Do you wonder that the
man is strengthened anew for to morrow's
cares?
Future Housekeepers —We often
catch ourselves wondeiing flow many of
the young ladies whom we meet will), are
able topeilonn the part ol housekeepers,
when the young men, who now eye them
so admiringly, have peisuaded them to
become their wives. We listen to those
young ladies of whom we speak and hear
them not only acknowledging, but boast
ing of their ignorance of all household
Julies, as if nothing would so lower them
in the esteem of their friends, as the co
-of an ability to bake bread and
pies, or cook a piece of meat, or a dispo
sition to engage in any useful employment.
Speaking from our own youthful teiollec
tion, w e arc tree to say, that taper Sogers
and lily-white hands are very pretty to
look at with a young man’s eyes, and
sometimes we have know n the artless in
nocence of practical knowledge displayed
by a young miss, to appear rather inte
resting than otherwise. But we have liv
ed long enough to learn that life is lull of
rugged experience, and that the most lov
ing. romantic, and delicate people must
live on cooked or otherwise prepaied lood
and in iio ties kept clean and tidy bv in
dustrious hands. And lor all practical
purposes of married life, it is geneially
found, that for the husband to sit and gaze
at a wile's taper fingers and lily hands, or
lor a wife to cit and be looked at and ad
mired, does not make the pot boil, or put
the smallest piece of food in the pot.
The Newark Advertiser ridicules the
idea of travellin g at this season of the
year, for the purpose of keeping cool, and
makes these sn rgestions;

Rising in the World.
Experience continually contradicts the
notion that a poor young man cannot
rise. If we look over the list of rich men
in Philadelpha, we find that nearly all of
them began life worth little or nothing.—
Giraid was a poor boy, The late Mr.
Ridgway came to this city acounlrv lad,
almost penniless What is true of Phila
delphia is true, also, of New-Yoik and
Boston. Astor began with nothing. Ab
bott Lawrence had only a pair of stout
hands, a willing heart, and a good charac
ter, for his original capital. To any per
sons familiar with the millionaires of the
United States a score of similar examples
wiil occur. On the oilier hand, the sous
of rich men, who began life with the cap
ital which so many pour young men cov
et, friquently die beggars. Il would
probably not be going too tar to say that
a large majority of such moneyed indi
viduals either tail out-right or gradually
eat up the capital with w hich they com
menced their career, And the reas nis
plain. Brought up in expensive habit*,
they spend entirely too much. Ednc-ted
with high notions of personal importance,
they will not, as they phrase it, “stoop”
to hard work. Is it astonishing theietore,
that they are passed in the race ol lile by
others with less capital originally but
more eneigy, thrift, and industry ? lor
these virtues, after all, are worth more
than money. They make money, in fact.
Nay, alter it is made, they enable the
possessor to keep it, which most lich men
pronounce to be more difficult than ma
king. The young man who begins lile
with a resoluiion always to lay by part of
hit income is sure, even without extraor
dinary ability, gradually to acquire a
sufficiency, especially as habits ot econo
my, which the resolution renders neces
sary, will make that a competence for
him which would be quite insufficient for
a mote extravagant person. Il is really
what we save, even more than what we
make, which leads us to fortune. He
who enlarge his expanses as last his earn
ings increase must always be pour, no
matter what his abilities. And co t“nt
may be had on comparatively little. It is
not in luxurious living that men find real
happiness.— Ledger.
The Beautiful —We teach our chil
dren the Good, but we neglect the Beau
tiful. At the mother’s knee, the Sab
bath school and the sanctuary, virtue is
inculcated—but inculcated alone. Truth
and Beauty are twin sisters, and should
never be separated. The precedence be
longs to Truth, but her Hold upon the
youthful mind is weakened by the neg.
lect o( her sister. A love of the Beautiful
is purifying He whodwells most among
the Beautiful, other things being equai
will have most regard tor virtue. How
i mpoitant, then, that asthelic as well as
the moral nature of children should be
educated! Do Ibis, and they w ill instinc
tively turn hum everything vile, distor
ted and vulgar. —Portland Transcrijit.
