The whirring wheel, the rushing sail,
How motionless and still.

And, smiling, welcomes all.
A Father’s tender mercy gave
This holy respite to the breast. *
To breathe the gale, to watch the wavs.
And know—the wheel may rest!
Six days of toil, poor child of Cain.
Thy strength thy master’s slave must be;
The seventh thy limbs escape the chain—

Thy footsteps, as their serf, survuy ;

To warn thee where thy thoughts should go

Rise mingling with the sky !

Of power from old^dominion hurl’d.

Alas! since time itself began
That fable hath but fool’d the hour;
Each age that ripens power in man
But subjects man to power.
Yet every day in seven, at least.
One bright republic shall bo known—
Man's world awhile hath surely ceased
When God proclaims his own.

THE BROKEN HEARTED.
07 GEORGE D. PRENTICE,
I have seen the infant sinking down, like a
stricken flower, ta the grave—the strong man
fiercely breathing'out his soul upon the field of
battle—the miserable convict standing upon the
scaffold, with a deep curse quivering on h ; s lips
—I have viewed death in all his forms of dark,
ness and vengeance, with a tearless eye—but
I never could look on woman, young and love
ly woman, fading away from the earth in beau
tiful and uncomplaining melancholy, without
feeling the very fountains of life turned to tears
and dust. Death is always terrible, but, when a
form of angel beauty is passing off to the silent
land of the sleepers, the heart feels that some
thing lovely in the universe is ceasing from ex
istence, and broods, with a sense of utter des
olation, over the lonely thoughts that come up
like spectres from the grave to haunt our mid
night musings. *
Two years ago I took up my residence for a
few weeks in a country village in the eastern
part of New England. Soon after my arrival,
I became acquainted with a lovely girl, appa
rently about seventeen years of age. She had
lost the idol of her pure heart’s purest love, and
the shadows of deep und holy memories were
resting like the wing «>f death upon her brow.
E first met her in the presence of the mirthful
She was indeed a creature to be worshipped—
Imr brow was garlanded with the young year':
sweetest flowers—her yellow locks were hang,
ing beautifully and low upon her bosom—and
she moved through the crowd with such a float
ing and unearthly grace, that the bewildered
gazer almost looked to see her fade into th^
air, like the creation of some pleasant dream
Shb seemed cheerful and even gay; yet I saw
that her gaiety was but the mockery of her feel
ings. She smiled, but ihere was something in
her smile which told that its mournful beauty
was but the bright reflection of a tear—and her
eye-lids, at times, closed heavily down, as if
struggling to repress the tide of agony that was
bursting from her heart’s secret urn. She look
ed ns if she could have left the scene of festivi
ty, nnd gone out beneath the quiet stars, and
laid her forehead down upon the fresh, green
earth, and poured out her stricken soul, gush
after gush, till it mingled with the eternal foun
tain of life and purijy.
Days and weeks passed on, anti that sweet
girl gave me her confidence, and I became to
her as a brother. She was wasting away by
disease. The smile upon her lip was fainter,
the purple upon her cheek grew visible, and
the cadences of her voice became daily more
weak and tremulous. On a quiet evening in
the depth of June, I wandered out a little dis
tance in the open air. It was then that she
first told me the tale of her passion, and of
the blight that had come down like mildew up
on her life. Love had been a portion of her
existence. Its tendrils had been twined around
her heart in her earliest years; and, when they
were rent away, they left a wound which flow
ed till all the springs of her soul were blood.—
“ I am passing away,” said she, “and it should
be so. The winds have gone over my life, and
tlie bright buds of hope and the sweet blossoms
of passion are scaltered down, and lie wither
ing in the dust, or rotting away upon the chill
waters of memory. And yet I cannot go down
among the tombs wilboutatear. It is hard to
is not of earth, and then pass off and Imve its
to muse upon ihetr Hided loveliness ? Why is
it that the stars, which “hoid their festivals n-
round the midnight throne,” are set above ihe
grasp of our limited faculties—forever mocking
us with their unapproachable glory? And,
finally, wiiy is it that bright forms of human
beauty are presented to our view nr.d then ta
ken from us—leaving the thousand streams of
our affections to flow back in an Alpine torrent
upon our hearts ? We are born for a higher
destiny than that of earth.' That is a realm
where the rainbow ne*er fades, where tlie stars:
will be spread out before us like the islands
that slumber on the ocean, and where the beau
tiful being3, which here pass before us like vi
sions, will stay in our presence forever. Brigh t
creature of my dreams—in that realm 1 shall
see thee again. Even now *liy lost image in
sometimes with me. In the mysterious silence
of midnight, when the streams are glowing in
the light of tlie many stars, that image comes
floating upon the beam that lingers around my
I pillow, and stands before me in irs pale, dim
loveliness, till its own spirit sinks like a spell
from Heaven upon my thoughts, and ihe grief
of years is turned to dreams of blessedness
and peace.
' DRESS.
Some persons of weak reasoning powers, or
inordinate vanity, suppose that elegance and
gentility consist in dress, and expend immense
sums, according to their means, in procuring
new varieties and styles of costume. It is re
corded of Queen Elizabeth of England, that
she indulged in self-idolatary to a very great
extent, and lavished large sums on the deco
ration of her person. She had a rich dress for
every day in the year, and varied its form to
three.hundred and sixty-five inventions of her
fgney!
The Empress Elizabeth of Russia is also
said to have been & victim to this singular ma
nia—this longing to acquire a variety of wear
ing apparel. A thick quarto volume wus filled
with the simple detail* of the wardrobe of > his
magnificently attired Empress. When this
mania prevails among persons whose means
are limited, the consequences are peculiaily
unfortunate, nndofitimes produce unhappiness,
and sometimes poverty.
But this weakness is not confined exclusive
ly to the fair sex, as many of our readers are
probably aware from actual experience. The
most singular case of this species of hallucina
tion recorded, is probably that of Count Bruhl,
a Saxon warrior and a statesman, who flourish
ed during the last centmy. When Dresden
fell in the hands of the Great Frederick, dur
ing the seven years’war, there were founds-
mojig ihe effects of this great nobleman, no les#
than tight hundred pairs boots, which Freder
ick ordered to be distributed among tbe Gren
adiers of his guard—also twelve hundred toigt r
which had sat by turns on ihe brow of ihe
statesman—besides many hundred dozen of
shirts, silk stockings, laced cravats, and other
articles of masculine finery, which were all sent,
to different marts, and converted into cash for
the royal treasury.
Every person should aim to dress with neat
ness and taste, with a due regard also to the pre
vailing fashion, that there may be no appear
ance of oddiiy or excentricity. This is due tc»
ourselves and society at large. So long as this
is accomplished, but very few will care whether
a person has one solitary dress or five hundred,
whether tho eame neat and becoming dress is
worn in company month after month, and year
after year—or thrown aside with contempt lif
ter being once worn, and replaced with one
*spic and span new.”—Boston Journal.
OLD AGE.
The nightingale sings the sweetest in the
evening; the woods assume their gayest and
most cheerful aspect in the autumn ofiheyear;
the suri is brightest when it is about *o disappear
beneath the horizon; it cannot, therefore, b«
contrary to the unalogy of nature, that the sun*
set of life should be even more cheerful and joy
ous than its meridian. Every body believe!
senility to bean evil, because lie has heard it a
thousand times, but how many have found tiiat
“the fear of ill exceeds the ill we fear,’* and that
the enjoyment of life sutlers no diminution from
the increase of years. When Fantenelle, in
extreme old age, was asked what inconconveni-
ence he experienced, he replied—“None, but
that of existence.” Confessing that he had no
real subject of complaint, bo must needs urge
a fictitious one, by taking it for granted thnt
great age must of itself be a great evil. What
would Methusaleh have said to these grumbling
boy grey-beards ?
CC/^It appears by the Boston Transcript that
we are at length to have an American female
vocalists to compete with some of the European
prima donnas. Miss Isidora Hansen, a daugh

which, from day to day, have caught the color
of my life, and sympathized with itii joys and

ten strayed with my buried love, and where,
at times, even now, the sweet tones of his voice
seem to come stealing around me, till the whole
air becomes one intense and mournful melody
—that pensive star, which we used to watch in
its early rising, and on which my fancy can still
picture his form looking down upon me, bow 5 -
oning me to his own bright home-—every flow,
er. and tree, and rivulet, on which the memory
of our early love 1ms set its undying seal, have
become dear to me, and I cannot, without a
sigh, close my eyes upon them forever.”
