The field* ate still, the woods are dumb t
In glassy sleep the waters lie.
And mark yon soft, white clouds, that reat
Above our vale, a moveless throng; *
The cattle on the mountain's breast,
Enjoy the grateful shadow long.
Oh, how unlike those merry hoars
In sunny June when earth laughs not.
When the fresh winds make love to flowers,
And woodlands sing and waters shoot.
When the grass sweet voices talk.
And strains of tiny music swell
From every moss cup of the rock,
From every nameless blossom's bell.
But now, a joy too deep for sound,
A peace no other season knows,
Hushes the heavens, and wraps the ground
The blessing of supreme repose.
Away! I will not be to day.

Away from desk and dust, rway !
I‘ll be as idle as tbe air.

Among the plants and breathing things,
Tlte sinless, peaceful works of God,

Come thou, in whose soft eyes I see
The gentle meaning of the heart.
One day amidst the woods with tliee,
Frcm men ana all their caret apart.
And where, upon the meadow's brenst.
The shadow of the thicket lies,
Tlie blue wild flowers thou galherest
Shall glow yet deeper uear thine eyes.
Come—when ainid the calm profound
I torn those gentle eyes to s;ek.
They, like the lovely landscape round.
Innocence and peace shall speak.
Rest here beneath tlie uumnving shade.
And on tlie silent valleys gaze.
Winding and widening till ibrv fade
In yon soft ling of summer haze.
The village trees iheir summits rear
Still as its spire; and yonder flock.
At rest in those raltn fields appear.
As ci-cled from the lifeless rock.
One tranquil mount the scene o'erljoks.
There the hushed winds their Sabbath keep,
While a near huiu from bees anil brocks,
Cotues faintly like ike breath of sleep.
Well might the gazer dream, that when
Worn with the struggle and the strife.
And heart sick at the wrongs of men.
The good forsake the] scenes of life.
Like this deep quiet, that awhile

beam"'uVWor.a?— li.Til}irvi\isrr
There’s a living atom in the ssa
That weaves a flinty shell.
For itself n lasting shroucl to t>£.
And a home in which to dweJl.
In «h> briny wnVte of ocean wares
It builds its ccraj home.
Jfrid mocks at the healing surge lii’ai lares
Its dreary abode with fuain.
There — in deep cerulean gMorn,
Unnumbered myriad swarms
Are forming a coral hoint? and tomb —
A shield to their insect forms.
And the rocky sepulchres made fast,*
The leagues thus covered o’er.
They uprenr a mausoleum rasf
tin the ocean's sandy floor.
’Neath the shallow waves of the inland see.
Where gentler waters flow—
As bright as flowers on the upland lea
The blanches of coral grow;
And dredged from their watery element;
And wrought witii skilful care.
To beauty’s bower their hues are sent,'
To ccck the forms of the fair.
But coral rocks dr the tropic clime,'
Roilt up ’tnid the ocean wave.
And form'd of the ocean's briny slime,'
For the coral's hetne and grave;
How mean would the grandest works compare,
Tltnt pride of man can form.
With the mighty power in progress there.
The skill of the insect worm !
'Tij n wondrous work to mortal eye*,’
And ocean's waves can tell
Of spreading elfmes that yet win rise
From the coral's rocky shell;
On the shores the wind* and waves will fling
The wealth of other lands,'
And in time to come their harvesting
Will be reapetl by mortal hinds.

ON Tllfe DEATH OF MISS VIRGINIA' SCOTT.
Daughter of Maj. Gin. IVmJicli Scott, V. Si A.
She’s gone—with Summer’s fading flowers,'
The beaultful has fled l
With hearts of bitter anguish,'we
Have laid her with thi dead.
We saw tlie rose's softest tint
Fade from her lovely cheek,
And while the lily clustered there.
We watched her spirit meek.
Submissively she bowed io Heaven —
Methiuks I hear her say,
“Oh, ask me not to linger It re,
While angels call away.”
Her spirit sought abetter world —
Borne on a seraph's wingi;
She trill* an angel's h* r p of g„lJ >
And strikes its heavenly strings.'
The music of that blissful sphere,
Should soo.he each murm’ring sigh.
We would not bring her back to earth*,'
We'll teclt her in the sky.
And wh'en at evening's pensive hour,
The reaper hymn 1* heard.
Thoughts, that are dear to memory,
Shall in our thoughts be stirr’d.
Upon her fresh and early grave
We'll strew the brightest flowers;
And. though the leaves may wither there,
2'he fragrance atilt is ours.

A .single traveller, however, might have been
feet) wrapped in a thick overcoat, urging his
way against the tempest, by the light of dim
J imps. Suddenly, as lie passed a ruinous t> ne-
ment, the figure of a girl siarit-d up before him.
“Please, sir, she said, “if it’s only a penny,
mother is sick and we have iiad nothing t u eat
to-day.”
'1 he first impulse of the moment was to go on,
the second to stop. Her face was thin and pale,
aiid Iter garments scanty. He was a nit-n of
good unpul-es, so h« put his hand tovardj his
pocket, intending to give her a shilling. Cut
the traveller had forgot ilmt his overcoat was
buttoned up tightly over his pocket.
‘•It is too much Iroublo,” said iie to Isitijself,
“and this wind is very cutting. Besides these
beggars are usually cheats. I’ll warrant this
girl wants the money to spend in some g-n
shop.” And, speaking hatshly, he said, l, l
have nothing for you! If you are really desti-
tJte, the guardia s will take rare ol you.’
The girl shrunk back wjshout a woid, and
drew her tattered garments around her shiver-,
ing form. But a tear glistened on her cheek in
the light of the dim lump.
The man passed, and, turning the next cor
ner, soon knocked at the door of a splendid
mansion, through whose richly curtained win
dows a rosy light streamed out across the storm.
A servant obsequiously gave him entrance. At
the sound of his footsteps the parlor door was
opened, and a beautiful girl, apparently about
seventeen, sprang into his arms,'kissed on-the
cheek, and then began to assist him in remov
ing bis ovsrcooL
‘•Wkat kept you so long, dear papal” she
said, “Ifl had known when you were 1 would
have sent die carriage. You never stay so
late at the office.”
“No, my love, I was at my lawyer’s busy,
very busy, and all for you,’ and be kindly pat
ted her on the cheek,” “But now Maggy, can’t
you g ve me some supper!”
The daughter rang the bell and ordered the
supper to be served. It \va< just sticlt an one
as an epicure would delight in, just the supper
fori traveilermi a tiinlii like that.
“Pit,” said the daughter, wln u it was finish
ed, “1 hopeynt are ma good humor, for 1 have
a favor io ask ol you,” and she threw her arms
around his neck, end lookmg up in hit face With
that winning smile and hose beautiful dark eves
of hers. *‘l wish to give n ball on my e gh-
tcenth bjrth-d tv. It tviJI cost, oh! a sight of
money; but you are a kind, ged papa, and I
know you hate been successful or you would i
not have been at your lawyer’s.”
“Yes my darling.” lie said, fondly kissing
her, "the c< ttou speculation has turned out well.
I sold all I had o* the article tnis a fern 1 ‘oti, re
ceived tlie money, and took it lo my lawyer’s.
Celling him to invest ii in feat estate. I think I
shall irivo up the business.”
"O! do, tie, papa. But you will give me this
hall, won’t you?”
sixike smilingly; and, 'putting Ills'llamrin fiis
pocket-book, he took out a note of five hun
dred dollars and placed it in his child’s hand.
‘ Take, this; if it is not enough yoit must have
another, I suppose. Bui don’t trouble me any
m >re about it.” , , -
The next morning broke clear, but ihe snow
was a font deep, and lay here and lhoio?n huge
drifts, blocking up tlie doorways. At ten
o’clock the rich merchant was on Ins way lo his
counting room- He turt.ed down the same
Street up' which he had c< me the preceding
evening. A crowd luul g IthetiiS round the
open cellar door ofa ruined tenement. T lie
merchant paused to inquire what was the mat-
ter; .
“A woman,'sir, 1ms been found dead below
there,” said one of tlie spectators; “.she starved
to death, it is said, and they have sent alter a
coroner. Her daughter has just co’m'e hack,
af cr being out dll night. I believe she was
begging; 'f lmt is her moaning.”
"Ah!” said the rnercha t, and a pang went
through his heart like an ice bolt, for he remem
bered having denied a petitioner the night be
fore. A 2irl cowered over an emaciated corpse
that lay on a heap ofstraw in one corner of tlie
damp apartment. It was ttie same gn 1 he had
leared it would prove. The merchant was
horror struck.
“My poor child,” he said,' laying his hand on
hef shoulder, “you must be eared for; God for
give me for denying you last night. Here, take
this!” and lie put a bill in her hand.
The girl lboked up, and gazed vacantly at
him; then she put hack the proflereB money.
“It will do me no good now,” she stud;
“mother is dead,” and she burst into hysteric
tears.
The merchant at that moment would have giv
en half his fortune to recalf her life.
The les'son thus teamed he never forgot.—
The merchant personally saw that a deceni bu
rial \Vas prclvided for the mother, and after
wards took the girl into bis house, cducaied her
lor a high station in life,' and on her marriage,
presented her a proper dowery. He lived to

exercises a material andsalutary influence, can
not be denied. Our laboring population have
no evils of a physical nature lo encounter—no’
physical wrongs, real or fanci'ul to redress.—-
They are clothed, fed and nursed in infancy,

which is not so comp'etely enjoyed in those
communities whdre we aud our institutions are
most violently abused. This comparison isf
not made in any invidious spirit, nor to sustain'
the theory that trader any and all circumstances,

trad those ofa very high order, is unquestiona
