BY CHARLES MACKY, I cannot give thee all my heart Lady, lady,— My faith and country claim a part, My sweet lady. But yet I’ll pledge thee word of mme That all the rest is truly thine ; The raving passion of a hoy, Warm though it be, will Tjuickly’cloy— Confide thou, rather; in the man Who vows to love thee all he can, My sweet lady. Affection, founded on respect, Lady, lady, Can never dwindle to neglect, My sweet lady. And while thy gentle virtues live. Such is the love that I will give. The torrent leaves its channel dry, The brook runs on incessantly— The storm of passion lasts a day, But calm true love endures alway, My sweet lady. Accept then a divided heart, Lady, lady, Faith, honor, friendship, each have part, My sweet lady. While at one altar we adore, Faith shall but make us love the more; And friendship, true to all beside, Will ne’er be fickle to a bride. And honor, based on love and truth, Shall last beyond the charm of youth, My sweet lady. From the Saturday Evening Pest. St. Ambrose in the Donjon. BV EMMA ALICE BROWN Like a star my soul shall shine With her triumphs over earth, When her future fate divine Blossoms into newer birth, Far across the vale of tombs, Far beyond all mortal strife, Where God’s love perpetualblooms On the endless hills of life. Crowned with one eternal day That shall never pass away. What if earth, despise me now?— What if no one judge aright ? And I wear on burning brow Bitter wreaths of wrong and spite? There is rest and peace for u e Where the world’s harm comethnot— And my soul shall gloriously Live when sorrow is forgot— Dust and ashes to the sod— Spirit safe at home with 4 God! On,the world’s rough cross of scorn My pale youth was crucified— I am weary and forlorn, of soul, and fiercely tried— Out of wretchedness and pain, Oh! thou Jesus, crowned and risen, Lead me to the light again, Throu’ the gravo’sjunyielding prison ; Seal the stone, and at the fc door Set thine Angel'evermore ! With this wasted wine of youth Sprinkle thou tho barren sand That the splendors of thy truth, Which have touched me like a brand, Blossom round the feet of those Who must tread this path of pain, When this bleeding heart of woes Long in silent dust hath lain. By thy splendors and my pains, For my losses give them gainb ! They have cursed me —I forgive, Feeling nobler for this strife. I am dying—they shall live. But the death comes well as life E’en as thou tho scoff and bruise In the ancient days forgave, They who blindly me abuso I’ilv thou—oli, God ! and save. Give them roses for my thorns— For mv nights unclouded morns! Maryland. MISCELLANEOUS. The value of a good wife. —In the true wife the husband finds not affection only, but companionship with which no other one compare. The family relations give retire ment without solitude, and socity without the rough intrusion of the world. It plants in the husband’s dwelling a frioiul who can bear his silence without weariness—who can listen to the detail of his interests with sympathy, who can appreciate his repeti tion of events, only important as they are embalmed inthe heart. Common friends are linked to us by a slender thread. Wo must retain them by ministering in some way, to their interest, or their enjoyment. What a luxury it is for a man to feel, that in his own home, there is a truo and affec tionate being, in whose presence he may throw off all restraint without the fear of treachery, and bo sick or unfortunate with out being abandoned. If iu tho outward world he grows weary of human selfishness, his heart can safely trust in one whose soul yearns for his happiness, and whose indul gence overlooks his defects. A Little Girl’s Example. —A little girl, about nine years of age, the daughter of a minister, was visiting a family where the father did not pray, but was in the habit of reading]a chapter ; the child, not knowing that all was done, knelt down, as she was in the habit of doing. Tho father saw the child on her knees, and knelt himself, — The rest of the family followed, and soon that father prayed, for the first time, in his family. That little girl was the instrument of rst amily-p fayer. Child’s Paper- Lot© and Catnip. A Sketch of Actual Occurrence. BV EDUAB SOMC.RS. FT'iJHE dim light of the lamp illuminat \ I a P a rtment for a while, but at J f last went out, leaving the room hi darkness, save when an occasional flash of light from the fire gleamed for a[moment ‘upon the obscu rity. In one corner, seated upon a sofa, were the forms cf a gentle maiden and her adoring lover. The youth was pleading his passion with all the burning eloquence of impetu ous love, and imploring his charmer to name the happy day that was to unite them forever. But what was his grief to find j that she did not meet his wishes with corrcs poudin ardor . 1 Susan.’ I k tlieu . ceived myself in fondly believingjthat your gentle heart reciprocated my passion?’ She fixed her liquid eyes upon him, but her words were few and coldly uttered. ‘I rather think you have.’ What! you cannot mean that you do not love me ! You will not tear from the skv of the future the bright sun of hope, and leave me to grope forever in darkness! Oh,'Susan,? by the happy hour we have passed together—by all the bright dreams of happiness we have cherished by the vows you have sworn to love me. I con jure you revoke what you havo just uttered and promise to be mine! But all unmoved by his appeal, she curls her ruby lip and scornfully answer*. ‘I shan,t do no such thing !’ ‘Merciful heavens ! do I hear aright ? must I then live on in loneliness’ with all my hopes withered and dead like a solitary sunflower stalk iu the chilling winter ? Nay, by the whole universe I swear it shall not be I Mark me, cruel one ; thou hast been the bright polar star by which I guided my whole existence. Thou wast the rock on which I founded my hopo of happiness ; and if thou wilt not consent to be mine, I swear by the blazing sun, that when he rises as usual to-morrow morning, before breakfast, his rays shall shine on me a cold corpse beneath the angry waves of the ra ging Merrimace—or perchance my bloody remains will be found upou its banks ; and if these means of death fail me, I will swal low jtoison ! dc you hear, and expire for love of thee. Then you will have nought to remind yon of him who loved you better than a thanksgiving dinner, save the con soling reflection that you are his murderess. But his agony, his threats, affected her not. She vtos as cold as the icicle that in midwinter hangs from the nose of the town pump. Cruelly—deliberately did she crush his last hope, and with a mocking incredu lonse smile she said— ‘ You dare’snt do it.’ He sprang to his feet; despair was pain ted on his features ; desperation glared in his eye. With his hands clasped in ago ny he turned an imploring look toward the mistress of his heart and exclaimed— ‘Once more I implore you to reflect ; re call those cruel words or I go to fulfil my thieatand with his hands upon the latch he awaited her decision. It came like a thunderbolt to the unhappy youth : ‘You may go—if you wish —to grass!’ With one bound he gained the street ; fu riously he dashed along, and turning the first corner ran aginst a gust of wind that was rushing the other way. The breeze knocked off his tile ; it had cost a V but the week before, yet ho heedeij not its loss. Like a whirlwind he swept along the side walk,Jand espyingj a blue bottle in a drug gidt’s window, he made tracks like a longi tudinal stripe of crude and solified city mlk, towards it. Opening the door with aniimpetuosity that made the clerk spring ovjsr the counter and seek safety behind a gUss case, he fixod his eyes with tho feroc ity of a bereaved maternal tigress upon the firm and trembling attendant and borsely growled— ‘Poison! give mo poison.’ ‘Eh—ah—what ?’ gasped the horror stricken clerk from his place of refuge. ‘Poison! do you hear?’ thundered the youth furiously. With a t shaking hand tho clerk filled a phial and,overrun the liquid on his new inexpressibles,] but not heeding this mishap he placed the significant lable ‘poison,’ on the bottle, and standing on tiptoe reached it over the top of the show-case to his dan gerous customer. Clutching it fiercely, the doomed young man hurled a quarter at the head of tho clerk, and then hurried to his lodgings. WTien he readied his own room the ex citement had passed,but it was succcedod by a cool deliberation and determination that was as absolutely blood-cliilling as a cold bath in December. Undressing, he pre pared for bed, and then seizing the phial of poison he drank its contents unfalter ingly. Getting into bed he aroused his chum, who had slept through the whole of this terrible 6cene, and bade him arise and call his parents ar.d also send for his false lady-love to come and see him die. His request was complied with, and soon his weeping parents arrived to bless their dy ing son. While they were lamenting over liim\the door opened and Susan—the cruel, but now repentant object of his love—en tered the room. As she approached the bedside of the dying youth, ho raised him self up and said : ‘Susan, for thee I die! and sank back helpless on his pillow. Who shall paint tho anguish, the agony of the lovely maiden ? With shriks that rent the air into shred and drove the ancient tabby from the room, she rushed to her doomed lover and implor ed his forgiveness. She called him by ev ery endearing epithet, but alas, it was too late—too late ! Fondly she embraced, him —tenderly she parted the hair from his brow and kissea his pale forehead. They were reconciled while he was on the brink of eternity. But the poison was at work within; he felt it coursing its way through every vain. He was conscious that he had but a few short moments to live, when his chum, who had entered to bid him farewell, inquired what he had taken. Perhaps there was an antidote. ‘Alas—no,’ murmured the uuliappy vic tim ; ‘it is too late to think of remedies. I am almost gone. The bottle of poison is on the rnantlepiece; I do not know its name,’ The chum seized the phial; he looked at what remained of the fatal drug —dubuously Le sighed, and extricating the cork applied it to his olfactory proboscis — Three long sniffs took he, and the phial fell with a crash from his almost palsied hands, while in tones of wonder he ejaculated— ‘Catnip—by thunder!’ What !’ exclaimed the expiring lover, springing bolt upright iu bed. ‘Extract of catnip, sure as skunks; you are not poisoned at all. With ono bound the dying man gained the middle of the room. His lady love fled iu dismay at beholding him iu his scanty attire, and he, picked up the phial, soon satisfied himself that it was indeed catnip that he had swallowed. Great was his rage at the discovery ; with horrid imprecations on the luckless wight who had deceived him, he got into his clothing and arming himself with a big stick, he sallied forth to wre ik vengeance on his devoted head. But to his deep dis appointment the drug store was closed and the attendant gone. Taking the edge off his wrath by shaking out of his boots a boy whom he encountered on his homeward way, he swore a deep and terrible oath of vengeance on the druggist’s clerk, to be in fleted the first time he encountered him at large and in the open air after sun-down. Horrible to hear were the words he breath ed, and the oath was registered somewhere. And now each night may be seen a slen der strippling, wending his way homeward : at a rapid pace. Hejlias a big bowie knife, and a revolver in each hand, yet he starts at every footstep and trembles at every shadow ! Ever and ,anon, he casts long looks of terror behind, for be fears the avenger. It is the doomed druggist’s clerk, and since the threat of the poisoned man has been told him, he has grown so thin that his employer intends to use him as an illustration to a course of lectures on anat omy. Moral. —When a rejected young man bent on suicide, seeks to purchase poison, let him have it; it is decidedly the best thing he could take, and by complying with the request the apothecary may escape a future drubbing. Secondly, young men—when you ‘get the mitten,’ don’t commit suicide in a hurry, if you do you may live to repent it. Poor Peter Gray. Here is a song to be sung, as Capt. Cut tle would say. The tender sex are advised to take warning from the sad fato of the fair, unfortunate Lizinanny: My song is of a nice young man, Whose name was Peter Gray ; Tbe State where Peter, he was born Was Pemisylvani-a. This l’eter Gray did fall in love All with a nice youg girl ; The name of her, I’m positive, Was Lizianny Querl. When they were going to be wed, Her father he said “No!” And brutally did send her off Beyond the Ohio. When Peter found his love was lost He knew not what to say ; He’d half a mind to jump into Tho Susquelianni-a A trading he went to the west, For furs and other skins, And there he was in crimson dressed By the bloody In-ji-ins. When Lizianny heard the news, She straightway went to bed, And never did get off of it Until she di-i-ed. Ye fathers all a warning take— Each one as has a girl— And think upon poor Peter Gray And Lizianny Querl. Some Nose.— Deacon C , of Hartford. Con., is well known as being provided with an enormons handle to his countenance, in the shape of a huge nose ; in fact it was remarkable for its great length. Lately when taking up a collection in the church to which he belonged, as he passe 1 through tho congregation every person to whom he presented the box seemed to be possessed by a sudden and uncontrollable desire to laugh. Tho deacon did not know what to make of it. He had often passed it round before, but no such effect had he witnessed. The deacon was fairly puzzled. The secret, however, leaked out. He had beenafilictcd a day or two with a sore on his nasal append age, and had placed a small piece of sticking plasterover it. During the morning of day in question, the plaster had dropped off; the deacon seeing it as he supposed, on the floor, picked it up and stuck it on again- But, alas for men who sometimes make great mistakes, he picked up instead a piece of paper which the manufacturers of spool cotton paste on the end of every spool, and which reads “warranted to hold out 200 yards.” Sueli a sign ou sueh a nose was enough to upset the gravity of any congre gation. Envy, —Whoever feels pain in hearing a good character of his neighbor, will feel a pleasure in tho revere.
