A PRIZE FOR THE GENTLEMEN

The New York Sunday Times. It refers to a
yowng lady who only needs a pair of wings to

A prize! ay, a prize in the lottery of life
A beauty, au heiress—yet ht fur ass ife'!
Os such a rare gem ’tis our province to sing
’Ere Hymen the jewel shall claim for his ring.
For the present it shines with a lustre supreme
ftNot a sparkle or glare, but .a warm steady beam,)
Amid halls where all spienffwrs that mMi <au» dis
play,
.Seem but tinsel and Arc** in the light of its ray.
But a truce to all tnopea, merer metaphor yet
By Genius was shaped from the chrystals of wit,
So polished and truthful as justice to do
To Woman, whra simple and graceful and true.
So no longer with figure of speech let us toy,
But bring out tl*e swvrt figtnr <4 Alic* Lkiiot.
Her hair is dark auburn, but through it tire sim,
When she turns to the light, seems to ripple and run.
Her eyes of sett blue are congenial spheres,
For the empire alike of love. Laughter and tears :
A form ripely rounded, a step firm and free,
A soul-soothing voice, like the hum of a bee,
A mingled expression, half mildness, half joy,
And the portrait is finished of Aucc Lomov.
Let us take her at breakfast - pray how is she drost >
Is her robe faced with sariu. and cashmere the rest ’
Is she figged out with ribbons in streamer and bow,
Like a joint of prize veal that’s set out for a show ?
Not at all, not at all ; quiet, modest and plain
Is her warm morning wrapper of inousselaine de laine;
Her fingers, uncoopened by Brilliant A Flash,
Don’t look like advertisements hinting at cash.
And the pearls she 4-isplaysas she pours out the tea
Are a gift from her mother, Dame Nature, you see.
lA*t us follow her closely, unseen, through the day.
And a sketch of her doings record a.- we may
Eh ? what ' te the kitchen ’ Ye gods, is it so *
Can Fifth Avenue porcelain stoop then so low ?
Touching puddings and pica does Miss L. condescend
Her directions to give and her counsel to lend ?
Per Jove ! ’tis a fact, and economy too
She enjoins on the cook is the heiress a Jew ’
Nors VERRONS, we shall see : Lo. in bonnet and shawl,
With a step like a fairy’s she trips through the hall
Off a gadding, of course, through park, terrace, and
square,
With her liveried flunkeys and carriage and pair.
No carriage ! She’ll walk ; aee r she turns from the door,
As if walking were pleasure instead of a bore.
Her cheeks glow w ith health, and she moves ala pace
Not too swift or too tardy for natural grace,
But which leaves fur astern all the feminine throng
Who oscillate, amble, and wriggle along
To the vast admiration of big whiskered loons
Like unduly inflated, ill-guided balloons.
But she stops. What is this ? A mean, squalid abode
In which none but the wretched of course are bestow
ed.
Can it be she will climb the old rickety stair
That leads to yon attic *—by Heaven she’s there
She crosses the threshold, she flies to the bed,
On her arm lies an aching and desolate head.
And the lips of the sufferor respond to her care
With a quivering that God will accept as a prayer.
See those children that round her in gratitude throng,
They ate n \lf orphans now, will be orpu wsere long;
Oh .' how earnest their gaze on that pitying face
Where sweet Charity hallows the outlines of grace.
There’s scant fire on the hearth, yet the air is not chill.
For the w armth of her heart seems the garret to fill.
And the light of her eye s there are tears in them too
Seems to brighten the walls as if sunshine struck
through.
Now she turns to depart say what was it she pressed
In th >se hands that lie clasped on the invalid's breast *
It was gold, shining gold, slyly drawn from her purse,
And she whispers the children to send for a nurse,
As she glides from tiie room, of their graritude coy ;
Now may God ever bless thee, fair Alice
She has shopping to do, and at Stew art A Co.’s,
A seat takes in one of the petticoat rows
That border the counters, and counterfeit well
An ind i tie re nee to buy w hat the clerks wish to sell.
And what is her purchase? Full quickly ’tia made,
For she ne’er with caprice clogs the movements of
trade.
It is sumptuous, no doubt ,as becomes her high place;
Is it satin, or sables, or Honiton lace ♦
What I flannel, merino, yarn mittens and hose - i
What on earth should a maiden be doing with those*
*Tisa mountain of comfort, that big woolen pile.
And ’twas purchased by Wealth to make Poverty
smile.
She has dresses befitting drive, dinner or ball.
But she thinks not this moment as much of them all
As of yon coarser fabrics, that soon w ill enfold
The poor shelterless victims of hunger and cold.
Ye helots of Fashion, well known far and wide
As the popinjay daughters of Folly and Pride,
Could ye know, could ye feel the ineffable bliss
That exalts the whole soul after actions like this,
Could your petrified hearts have their marble an
nealed.
Could the well-spring of love in your hearts be un
sealed,
Then life, that fa life ye might learn to enjoy,
And rise to the level of Alice Leroy.
At home—dressed for dinner—bow beautiful there,
As she smiles on that old man with time-silvered hair.
At the meal, at her glance, all he wishes is brought,
For the love of that daughter prefigures his thought.
The mother is gone where full surely at last
The lots of those twain shall forever be cast;
But meanwhile the world seems not dreary nor dark
To life’s voyager grey and the dove of his ark.
Lt is evening —ah ! how does she finish the day ’
Ata ball, a grand party, the op’ra, the play*
No, behold her encircled with friends—men of sense.
And women who live not fur show and pretence.
Scandal taints not the air, and Frivolity’s tongue
Is heard not that gifted assemblage among.
Belle-Letthes, art, science, historical lore
That the “ Smallturks” of ton would consider a bore,
They discuss, and of thought open many a mine
Where the jewels of knowledge invitingly shine.
No effort to dazzle the harmony mars.
None claim to be “lions,” none wish to be “stars,”
And nor pushing pretensions nor clap-trap alloy
These delightful ke-cnions of Alice Leroy.
Who’ll marry our heiress? Don’t all speak at once.
And mark ye she weds not rake, puppy, or dunce:
Brains, brains he must have, moral stamina too,
Who would charm the dear girl from the home where
she grew.
She’s refused more tfyau twenty y*oungexquisite* rare,
Whose reliance, like Samson’s, was chiefly in hair;
Snubbed a dozen whose teeth, white and even, might
win
Any beaut} on earth that’s alive to a grin.
And rebulied half a score who supposing she'd dote
Like th cm sc Ives, on the style of a vest or a coat,
Essayed with all patterns that e'er graced a card,
To tailor their way to the lady’s regard.
But if’mongst the aspirant* one can be found
Intellectual, good tempered, of principles sound,
Who smokes not, who drinks not, who bets on no
game.
Who esteems above riches true honor and fame ;
Whose religion is not a thing worn on his sleeve.
But whose spirit responds when he says “ I believe,”
Why then for bis partner, in sorrow and joy,
Let him tako - happy fellow our Alice Lerot.
A little explained, a little endured, a little
pa-sed over as a foible; and 10, the nigged
atoms will tit like smooth mosaic.
There is no greater obstacle in the way of
success in life, than trusting for something to
turn up, instead of going to work and turning I

RICHARD HENRY WILDE.
A son of this lamented gentlciuaii is now en
gaged in preparing for the press a biographical
memoir, embracing nlsw the correspondence,
speeches, lh<*mry and political remains, etc., of
his father, which, together, will make one of
the m*4 interesting works of the day. Among
the literary p.qiers are many that have never
yet been published, in prose and verse. The
follow inggem, which has Jong been familiar
w hli the public, stamps the author as a tine
poet, and places his name high in the list of
fame. It can never be reproduced too often.
Mr. Wilde was reared iu <*eorgia, and died in
New Orleans, in 1x47.
STANZAS.
My life is like the Siuxuix r rose
That opens to the morning sky,
But ’ere the shades of evt niug close,
Is scattered on the ground to die!
4 Yet on the rose's humbk* lied
The sweetest dews of night are shed,
As if she wept such waste to see.
But none shall weep a tear for me.
My Fife is like the autumn leaf
That trembles in the moon's pale ray;
Its hold is frail —its date is brief.
Restless mi mJ soon to pas- away .'
Yet ’ere thM leaf shall fall and fair.
The parent tree shall mourn its shade;
The winds bewail the leafless tree,
But none shall breathe a sigh for me!
My life is like the print w Licit feet
Have left on Tampa's desert strand,
Soon as the rising tide shall beat
All trace shall vanish from the sand;
Yet as if grieving to efface
All vestige of the human race,
On that lone shore loud moan the sex
But none alas! shall mourn for me!

“IT'S THE SLOGAN OF THE HIGHLANDERS -
A THRILLING MOMENT AT LUCKNOW
The war with India ha* been attended w ith
many scenes of thrilling interest, and there have
not been wanting pens to picture them with
startling effect. The following graphic descrip
tion of the scene al the moment of the arrival
of the relief, so long, so painfully aw aited by
the lieleagued inmates of Lucknow. written by
a lady of the rescued party, equals in dramatic
intensity the best descrijHive passages of Sir
Walter Scott, ami surpasses anything done by
Hassell in the Crimea :
‘•Death stared us in the face. We were fully
persuadtd that in twent)-four hours all would
lie over. The engineers had said so and all
knew the worst. We women strove to encour
age eac h other, ami to perform the light duties
w hich bad been assigned to us, siwh as con
veying orders to the batteries and supplying
the men w ith provisions, especially cupsofcof
fee, which w e prepared day and night. I had
gone out to try and make myself useful, in com
pany w ith Jessie Brow n, the w ife of a corporal
in my husband's regiment. Poor Jessie had
been in a state of restless excitement all
through the scige. and had fallen away visibly
within the last few days. A constant fever con
sinned her. and her mind wandered ocrasiomd
i ly. especially on that day, when the recollec- .
tionsof home seemed powerfullv present to
! her.
At last, overcome w ith fatigue, she lay dow n I
on the ground, wrapt up in her plaid. I sat
, beside her, promising to awaken her, when, as
1 she said, her lather should return from the
ploughing.'' ami at length fell into a profound
slumber, motionless and apparently breathless,
her head resting in my lap. 1 myself-could no
longer resist the in< lination to sleep, in spite of
the continual ro;.r of camion. Suddenly I w :ls
aroused by a wil l im artldy scream close to
'my car; my companion stood upright beside
me. her arms rai -v I. and her head bent for
ward in the attitude of listening, A look of
intense delight broke over her countenance, she
■ grasped my han I drew me towards her, and ,
exclaimed, ‘ Dina ye hear it ? Dina ye hear it?
Ay. I'm no drvamin', it's the slogan o' the ,
Highlander.-! We’re saved, we're saved:”
Then, flinging herself on her knce> shethank-
( e l God w ith passionate fervor.
I felt utterly bewildered : my English ears
heard only the roar of artillery, and I thought
, my poor Jessie was still raving, but she dart
; ed to the batteries, and I heard her cry incess
antly t<> the men, “Courage ! hark to the slo
gan!—to tin* Margregor, the grandest ot them
a\ Here's help at last." To describe the ef
fect <»t these words upon the soldiers would be
impossible. For a moment they ceased tiring
and every soul listened w ith intense anxiety.—
; Gradually, however, there arose a murmur of
; bitter disappointment, and the w ailing of the
’ women who had flocked out began anew as ,
the Colonel shook his head. (>nr dull lowland
cars heard nothing but the rattle of the mus-.
ketry.
A few moments more of this death like sus
pense, of agonising hope, and Jessie, who had
i again sunk on the ground, sprang to her feet
and cried, in a voice so clear ami piercing that
i it was heard along the w hole line—ill ye
jno believe it noo ? The slogan has ceased, in
deed, but the Campbells are coinin'! D'ye
; hear? d’ye hear f ’ At that moment we seem
<‘d to hear the voice of God in the distance,
w hen the bagpipes of the Highlanders brought
us tidings of deliverance ; for now there was
no longer any doubt of the fact. That shrill,
penetrating, ceaseless sound, w hich rose above
all other sounds, could come neither from the
advance of the enemy, nor from the works of
the sappers. No, it was indeed the blast of the
Scottish bagbipes, now shrill ami harsh, as
threatening veangeance on the foe ; then in
softer tones, seeming to promise succor to their
friends in need. Never surely was there such
a scene as followed. Not a heart in the Resi
dency of Lucknow hut bowed itselfbefore Go<l.
All, by one simultaneous impulse, fell upon
their knees, and nothing was beard but burst
ing sob- and the murmured voice of prayer.—
t Then all a’ ose. and there rang out from a thou
sand lips a great shout of joy, which resound
ed far and w ide, and lent new vigor to that
blessed bagpipe. To our cheer of “God save
the Queen” they replied in the well known
strain that movesc\cry Scot to tears —“Should
auld acquaintance be forgot." &c. After that,
nothing else made an impression on me. 1
scarcely rememl>er w hat followed, Jessie was
presented to the General on his entrance into
the fort, and at theofleer-' hampict, her health
was drank by all present, while the pipers
marched round the table, playing once more
the familiar tune of “Auld lang syne,”
A CHRISTMAS TALE.
Whilst the last century was flourishing, there
dwelt in w hat is now a famous city, not a
mile from Boston, an opulent widow ladv, who
once afforded a queer illustration of that cold
compound of incompatibles, called “human na
ture.”
It was a Christmas eve, ofone of those old
fashioned winters w hicdi were so bitter cold.—
The old lady put on an extra shawl; and a
• she hugged ber shivering frame, she said to her
faithful negro servant:
“It's a terrible cold night. Seip. lam afraid
my poor neighbor, Widow Green, must he suf
fering. lake the wheelbarrow, Seip. Fill it
full of wood. Pile on a good load ; and tell the
. poor w oinan to keep herself w arm and com
fortable. But before you go. Seip. put some
more wood on the fire, and make me a nice
mug of flip.”
These last orders were duly olieyed ; and the
old lady was thoroughly w armed, both inside
and out. And now the trusty Scipio was about
to depart on his errand of mercy, when his
considerate mistress interposed again:
“Stop. Seip. Yon need not go now. 770
weather hat moderated."
A city hunter being in the country deer
sh<M4ing r wa> Um»frightened to shoot at a burk,
as he went by. The huntsman came up and
asked him why he did not shoot ? His lip*
trembled as he replied. “I saw nothing but
the devil go by with an armchair on his head,
and bi* handkerchief stic king out behind."
WIT AND HUMOR.
An I nanswtrable Appeal. A father hold
ing his little* son across his knees and spanking
• him, the urchin hit him severely on the leg;
• on which the parent said : “\ ou young dog,
how dare you bite ?’’ The boy turned his head,
auff, looking him in the face, said : “ Father,
who began tirst ?”
> I A countryman passing over a railroad in
’ northern New York, which is proverbially
slow, asked the conductor why a cow-catcher
w as attached to the rear car instead of the usu
al plate, he wa- Jr termed -by <t luit officer that
it was “in order to prevent the cows on that
, road running into the train.”

Famiijons.—“ Grandpa, where do people get
their fashions from ?’’
“ From Philadelphia."
“ Well, where do the Philadelphia people get
i them ?”
“ From England.”
“Ah! and where do the English get

“ From France."
j “But where do the French get them from?”
“ Why, straight from the Devil—now stop
your noise.”
i Tight Lacing.—A learned doctor, referring
to tight lacing, avers that it is a public benefit,
inasmuch as it kills all the toolish girls, and
leaves the w ise ones to grow up to be women.
A fellow stole a saw. and on his trial told
the Judge he only took it in a joke.
“How far did vou carry it?” asked the
Judge.
“ Two miles,” answered the prisoner.
“ Ah. that's carrying the joke too far,” re
marked the Judge, ami the prisoner got three
months unrequited labor.
Light and Life—When one was about to
construct a light house he w as asked w hat was j
his object. “My object,” said he, “is to give
light and save life.”
Among the a<lveilisenients in a late London
paper, we read that “Two sisters want wash

“ Mr. Jones, don't you think that marriage is
a means of grace ?” “Certainly, anything is a
means of grace that leads us to repentance.”

“ The eyes of your beloved, after she has

“ Eliza, my child,” said a prudish old maid to
her niece, who would curl her hair in pretty !

“So he did, Aunty, when I was a baby, but
he thinks I am big enough now to curl it my- 1

A recruit going through the exercise of
swore’- uit. asked how he should parry. “ Nev
er you mind that," said the hussar, “only you
cut; let the enemy parry.’’
“Do you know the prisoner, Mr. Jones?”
Yes, to th.* hone.” “ What is his character.'’’
“Didn't know he had any.” “Does he live
near you ?” So near that he has only spent ss.
, for fire-wood in eight years.”
MISCELLANY.
Lamb was complaining that the more he
spoke in public the more diffident he grew ; ns
it i’ we re strange, rejoined Erskine, that a lamb
should grow sheepish. A strange humor |x»s
ses'C 1 Erskine to w itirv<s fires, so that, accord
ing to Sheridan, a chimney could not smoke in
the borough without hi- know ledge.
One penny <say -a mathematician) put out
at 5 per cent., coinpnund interest, at the birth
of Christ, would, in 1810, have amounted to a
sum exceeding in value 357,000,000 of solid
globes of standard gold, each in magnitude as
large as this earth !
Mr. Parton, the biographer of Aaron Burr,
. is understood to Im* engaged in preparing a
Life of Gen. Andrew Jackson, for which he ob
tained much new material while w riting the

elevation to the Presidency to the secret sug
' gestions ami aid ot Burr.
The consumption in Paris of snails has in
creased to such an extent as to seriously injure
the oyster trade. A whole side of the new
fish market is devoted to these delicacies among
shell fish, the rest being frogs and
Paris, last year, used to eal 5,000 baskets of
oysters per diem, (the basket holds 12 1-2
dozen*:) it now only swallows4,ooo panniers;
the snails have evicted the oysters.
When the cholera was at its worst in 1819, in
New Orleans, an old negro, w ho had weathered
the yellow fever many times, at length got
frightened at the havoc the cholera was making
among all classes. His master heard him pray
ing one night to the “angel ob de Lord,,, by
the light of a tallow candle “to spare him dis
time—to let him live a little longer, an’ den to
take him to glory.” But he concluded his pray
er by professing perfect submission to the will
of “de angel ob De Lord.” even should be be
called upon immediately to goon dat long jour
ney. Sambo’s master determined to try the
sincerity of his profession. He knocked loudly
and distinctly at the door.
“Who'sdar?” says Sambo.
“The angel of the Lord,” was answered.
“What you want ?”
“I have come for Sambo."
The ma-ter heard the candle suddenly extin
guished with a “w bof ’ and Sam bo energetically
answered ,
“He’se not here! Dat nigger's dead three
weeks.”
MISTAKING THE HYMN
A young clerical gentleman relates the fol
lowing anecdote of one of his Dutch breth
ren :
The old fellow was about commencing one
of his spiritual exercise.-when to thedi-anvant
age of his being a little near-sighted was added
the poor light of a country church. After
clearing his throat, he gave out the hymn, pre
facing it with the apology :
De light is had. mine eyes is dim,
1 cannot see to read dis hymn.
Thu clerk supposing it was the first stanza of
the hymn, struck up the tune of common me
tre. The old fellow taken somewhat aback by
the turn of affairs, corrected the mistake by say
ing :
I didn' mean to sing dis hymn
J only meant mine eyes is dim,
The ckrk still thinking it a continuation ot
the couplet, finished in the proceeding strain.
The old man at the top of his voice :
1 think ter ty val’s in you all :
Dat vash no hymn to sing at all.
A Good Christian.—A missionary once re
buked a South Sea Islander for the sin of |M»ly
gamy. After a week or two. the cannibal re
turned. his face radiant with joy. “Me all
right now; one wife. Me very good Christian.'’ ,
What did yon do with the other?” asked the
missionary. ‘ \f. eat her up.”
