I romninkor when wo parted On that glnriour summer inoni, llow the pearly tear drop started,— Tlutiking how the rose and thorn ■ E’er on coith must grow together, And who seeks and plucks the one, That he would oi would not slum ! I remember well the sorrow Wo were doomed at. heart to feel, Knowing that wl.on came the morrow, And o’er earth its blush shall steal, Then we should not see each other, Nor rejoice in converse sweet, — But wo each must from another Some cold, heartless welcome great! I remember then a vision r Had wc of a happier day, When should come life’s joys elysian, Cheering all its ragged way. And we little thought that never Should wo meet, each other more, In a land where chill winds ever Poison pleasure's golden store ! But how sail indeed the real, Like a dread o’orshadowing cloud, Banishing each dream ideal, Willi its cold and dreary shroud. Fur hi ! tliou art gone before mo To a land unseen, unknown, And what pangs of grief steal o’er mo When I feel that Pm alone 1 When I feel that l shall never See again those soul lit eyes; That thy voice is hushed forever. By 4^,.'if “oiler's sacrifice, But why'grieve f To hopeless sorrow 1 would not a violin dwell, But iioin heaven would pray to borrow | fstri ngtli to say ‘‘Ho doth well.” : ‘ , Some weotv Os ten days ago a young ! man, originally n the country, became i .M,gaged In marry a >dy equal In him in ; rank and fortune. Sho vv:ls ■’ Parisian, lie occupies a lucrative place,"’ one of the railway company's oflicis I.ere. j.'mfa'li er lives on the family osiate, which w mt tiated in tno of tho inqim'ain gorges nea,’ the Franco-spiuiisli frontier, and separated | almost completely from the world. He ‘ lmd passed fora wiunwer above twenty i years. The young man paid a visit to the i edd family se. it, wlmra indeed ho was ne i custonied to spend his summer vacations, : to collect tho inmiiTierahle. and euiiieiits the. j French law require* the etiicr who per • forms the marriages lo have in his hands 1 before he stamps the civil contract made before him with iis Mcdoan and Persian character. He asked his father for his mother's Initial certificate. The father was ex tremely embarrassed by this appeal; hat no hands could he published until the buri al certificate had been lodged at the may or’s office, where the mnriiagc was to he contracted. The father at last broke si lence, saying, “My clear boy, 1 have for a great many years concealed a secret from you, because its possession would prove it painful burthen to you because the honor of out house is interested in its mainten ance, mid your tender year* have hitherto rendered you incapable of preserving it. Your mother lives. She is a lunatic. Gome with me mid I’ll let you see her.” He carried his son, who was trembling with emotion, into on old tower which formed psst-t of tho architecture of the chateau, and fliey went to the top of it. The ehamber on tlio last floor was tho lu natic's cell. He, opened the door, tho son entered it, mid kneeling at the poor wo man's feet, sobbed: “Mother! Mother 1” in a most heart rending mnnucr. These touching appeals, which would have mov ed stone idols almost, made no impression outlie poor lunatic. Her staro continued as vacant and her lips as speechless as ever. Tho son, liiu soul sick at the sail spectacle, there gently upbraided his fath er for denying him the melancholy solace of sharing the attentions he, the father, had bestowed on his wreck for qo many years ( The father repeated the excuses lie had given of his sou’s youth and the impor tance of the secret to the family happi ness. It became necessary to avow this mis fortune to tho bride’s family, and they naturally desired to see tor tlieinselvos. as the story that the wife was dead and the story that sho was crazy, seemed some thing awkward, which needed explana tion. Several mouthers of tho faintly went down to the distant cfiatcau, and the poor lunatic was introduced. As soon oh she saw herself surrounded by witnesses, she said in a calm tone : “1 am not toad. My husband becoming the pioy of a most un reasoning jealousy, and 1, being helpless sand alone in this secluded mansion to es cape his continual scenes of violence, and to avoid tlm foqr I was coutiiually iitidci of being assassinated by him, (lie threat- I ened more than once to kill me.) 1 say, 1 . fuigncii madness in the hope ot enjoyitif j something like quiet, 1 preferred languish • ing in prison all my life to being liourlj hurrusscd liy these drendfe.! scenes nfjeal ousy.” Yi.it may imagine the effect of this do t (ration. Tho persons assembled tho't first this accusation was hut an addition evidence of ihe distracted state of lie* l mind, for madness ofton borrow’s reason’s j I mask, and wears it so well as to deceive , J even the most practiced physicians of the , j mint). r l lie Faculty wero appealed to. , [ Before they could decide, her husband, , whorind been in a state of agitation ever | sincolhis wife charged him with her so- , questration, became raring mad. His | pnporprere inspected, and it appeared , ihnt l.fc had been crazy—a monomaniac— , his phYenzy arising from jealousy. Ho , wan caiVied to a mad-housc, and his wife | signed the marriage contract of her son!— , N. (>. P\ayune, j To Yoslag Mon Starling Into Life. \ The first great, lesson a young man | should learn is, that he knows nothing.— , Tho emler and nmro thoroughly this les- , son is learned, the better. A home-bred ( youth, growing up in the light of parental | admiration, with everything to fester his , vanity and self esteem, is surprised to find, t and often unwilling to acknowledge, the | superiority of other people. , But be is compelled to learn his own in- i sighilienneo ; his airs are redicule I. his , blunders exposed, his wishes disregarded, , avid he is made to cut a very sorry figure, , until his self-conceit is abased, mid ho feels ; that ho knows notligin.g j When a young man has thoroughly com , prehended that fact, that lie knows noth- , ing, and that, intrinsically, he is of hut lit- j tie value; tho nest lesson is, that the , world cares nothing about him. lie is the ( subject of no man’s overwhelming ad mi t ration; neither petted by the one nor en viod bv the oilier, ho has to take care us . himself, lie will not he noticed until lie , I becomes noticeable; he will not become , I n.ivicoablo until lie does something to j , i prove that he is of seme use to society.— I ; No recommendation nr introduction will f i ,-ive hiii) this, or i"i.udiU to give him Ibis; j X c* srvinohoilv. There is no surer sign el an unmniil) ’ and cowardly spirit*than a vngo desire for ( i Jielji—a wish to depend, t-olean on some- ( | holly,aijd enjoy the fruits of other people’s | I industry. There are multitudes of young ( i men wlio indulge in dreams of help from , ! soiiie quarter, comingin %t a convenient mo ‘ ’ nie.it, to enahl; them In secure llm success ! .file which they covet.

A writer thus undertakes to convey sonio idea of the greatness of tho [ opttla- ( - lion of China: _ ( •■The mind can not grasp tlio real im port of so vast a number. Four hundred • millions! —Wliat does it mean? Count it. Night and day, without rest, or fo6d, t or sleep, you continues tlio weary work; yet eleven days lias passed before you , couitteij tliO first million, and more than as many years before the cud ol tho tedious ( task cun bo reached*” , lie also supposes this mighty multitude to take ii;) its lino of march, in a grand ( : procosbion, placed in singlo file nt six foot , apart, and marching at the rate of thirty miles per day, except on the Sabbath, which is given to rest — ■•Day after day tho moving column ad- , ’ %uhhsub. tho head pushing on far toward 1 ( the rising sun, now bridges the Pacific. now bridges tlio Atlantic. And now the < 1 Pacific is crossed, hut still the long pro cession marches on stretching across high ( mountains, and sunny plains, and broad I rivers, through China ai\d India,, and the ■ European kingdoms, >nd on again over r tho stormy bosom of the Atlantic. But the 1 circuit of tho world itself affords not stand ing room. The endless column will double l upon itself, and double again ad again, -and shall girdle tho earth eighteen times •’ before the great reservoir which furnishes those numberless multitudes is exhausted. • Weeks, months, and years roll nway, and ! still they come, men, women, and chil s diam, Since the march bogan tlio little a child lias become a man, and yet on they • come, in unfailing numbers.

In no particular lias the present genera tion heromo more fastidious than in wlmt is requisite for the use of ladies in their own dressing-rooms. Eseneos, powders, pastes, washes tor tho hair, washes for the skin, recall tho days of one's grandmoth ers, when such appurtenances were thought essential and wore essential; for our great-grandmothers were not rigid in points of personal cleanliness; and it is only unclennlinoss that requires scents to ‘ conceal it, and applications to repair its ravages. Our great-grand mothers wore powder ami pomatum, and lmd their Imir . dressed three times a week; going to bed in the cushioned structure, after suffering torture for some hours, lost they should, in tho weakness of human infirmity, lean hack in their chairs. Our great-grand mothers, too, had their whim kid gloves sewn to the bottom of each sleeve, lest > they should incur tho calamity of a sun burnt arm. Our great-grandmothers were afraid of cold water, and delicately wiped ‘ their laces with the corner of a towel no larger limn a pocket handkerchief. There were those among them who boasted that they had never washed their faces in tlioir 1 whole span of existence, lest it should spoil their complexions, hut had only pass- 1 ed a cambric handkerchief over the deli- 1 ieoto brow and checks, wotted with elder ‘ flower water or rose water. I believe the 1 nearest approach to the ablution wo nojv . diurnnlly practise was tho bathing their lovely countenances in May-dew. esteem- 1 ed the finest thing iti the morning for tho . skin by our hollos of the last century; so 1 they turned out betimes in high-heeled 1 shoes and negliges, trotted down the old avenues of ninny a patriarchal home to the meadow, and, saturating tlicit handker chiefs in May-dew, refreshed with it the cheeks flushed over night at quadrille or ( great casino, nod went homo contented that a coiiseieiilou) duty had been per formed.— The Habits of Good lin/th. - H kat is a Zouave. A fellow with a red hag having sleeves to it for n coat; with two red lings without | sleeves to them for trowsers, with an cm- , brnideved and braided hag for a vest, with | a cap like a red woolen saucepan; with ( yellow boots like the fourth robber in n ( singe play; with a moustache like two hull pound paint brushes, and with a sort of ( sword-gun nr gnu-sword tor a weapon, Hint ( imks like tho result ot n love affair he- , twomi an amorous broftdswonl and a lonely musket, indiscreet and tender—that is a ■ Zoi'llVC. A fellow wlm can “pull tip” a hundred- ( iind-ton-piiund•dumb-bell; who can climb up ati eighty font rope, hand over hand, with a barrel of Hour hanging to his heels; ; can do tho “gait swing” on a liovizon- - tal'bnr u'?*-b fifty-six tied to each ancle; j who can wait P f"'”’ il'gklH of stairs, , holding a heavy h.”U >' ch hand, at. , arm’s length; and whooflU climb a greased ] polo l'eet first carrying ft htuve! 1,0,k1 ,o, k in - his teeth--that is ft Zouave. A follow who can jump seventeen feet four inches high without a smiug hoard; who can tie his legs in a double how knot i round his neck without previously soften ing his shin bones in a steam bath; who cun walk Bloudin's light rope with his stomach outside of nine brandy cocktails, a suit of chain armor outside his stomach, and a stiff noft'ioast gale outside of that; who can take a five shooting revolver in each hand and knock the spots of the ton of diamonds at eighty paces, laming sum •uiersaults all tho tune ami firing every shot in the air—that is a Zouave.—"Don sticks,” in the. Sunday Mercury. Sensitive People. Thcteis no help for being sensitive, hut it ought to teach a person temlurnoss to wards other*. It- does not however. A great many people who pride themselves upon their “liwikncss,” and always “speak their mind,” are the very last ones who will hear the same things iron) anybody else. They never are untrue to their con victions,—not. they. They mean to ho faithful and do their duty, and so they are always Haring your faults in the most offensive manner. ’ But go to one of these people, —say to him, “Air. llotehel, l feel ii. my duty to toll you that j our temper is not the sweetest, that your children behave had at school, that tliey lie, pinch, play truant, and are dirty into tho bargain and lo 1 you have disturbed ft whole wimp's nest of evil passions, and probably your family and tlio lletcliels will ho put in non-intcrcourso nil the rest of your life. — Speaking one’s mind, with tHeso people, means their privilege of sticking needles into every one's feelings they choose, whereas all the neighborhood must he sweet as summer toward them.— Monthly Religious Magas ine. — - An old lady sleeping during divine ser vice in a church ir. Liverpool, let fall her Bible, with clasps to it, and the tiniso partly waking her she exclaimed aloud : “\Vhnt ’ you’ve broke another jug, you slut, have . yolfr b ‘ “Have you found a verdict ?’ said a 1 judge to the foreman of a jury. ’ “No. your honor, wo have limited in . every corner ottlie room, and there isn t one there.” l Terms—sl,so Always In Advance. WAYSIDE (iUIHMXUS. -- —-— v* Bh:.vetl. In a certain English parish a Quaker burlier received a note for church rates five shillings ami sixpence.—Ho called upon the Clergyman, and said ; l’ray friend, what do you mean by this note ?” “Mean! why it is for the church rate— don’t you see/’ “Yes, friend but wliat is that for V “Why for tlio repair of the enroll, and for the maintenance of public worship to bo sure.’ “Well, friend hut what have 1 to do with that ? 1 don't attend tho church.” “Oh, that don’t signify ; the enreh is all ways upon and its your own fault if you don’t come ! Besides it is the law and you must pay. “Well friend 1 take leave to toll tlieo that 1 think that is a very unjust law that obliges me to pay ministry and a religion which I don't attend Fare tlieo well.” A few days alter wards the barber, by way of straitening accounts with tlio par son sent his reverence a note—“JJootni*’ to Timothy Salters, for shaving ami hair cutting five shillings and sixpence.’ The receipt of this note by tlio parson very quickly brought him to tho shop in no good humor either. “What do you menu by sending mo this, hill? You never out my hair nor shaved me in your life.” “Nay, friend, hut thou knowostmy shop is always open, ami its thine own fault if tlion dost not come to bo shaved.” Freak of Nature. —A story is told of an apple tree planted over tho graze of Roger Williams to this effect: Tlio tice hud pushed downward one of its main root’s i a sloping dii'oo.tton, and nearly straight’ course, toward tho precise spot that had boon occtipiediby of Roger Wil liams; thbre, mnJGcg a turn vonlinmAop, with its circumference, tlio root followed’ tlio direction wf tho hack-bone to the'hips,- and thence divided into two blanches,- each’ one following the log-bone to the lieel-k where they Both turned upward to the ex tremities of the toes of the skeleton. One of tho roots formed a curve at the part oc cupied by the knee-joint, thus producing an increased rcscinhJaimo to tho outlines of tlio skeleton, ns if, indeed, molded thereto by the powers of vegetable life. This singularly formed root has been care fully preserved, as constituting a very impressive exemplification of the mode in which the contents of the grave lied been entirely absorbed. A Cure far S/ijiyery Siiteioalks. —The Niagara Falls Gazette tells a story of two young ladies wlm were promenading along the streets icontly. when one of thum slipped and on mo down’ on tho icy pave ment “like a thousand of bricks.” Jump ing quickly up, sho exclaimed, so/o race, “Before another winter I’ll have a man to hang on to; son if 1 don’t!” A man eats up a pound of sugar, and the pleasure he lias enjoyed is ended ; but tho information he gets from a news paper is treasured up in the mine, to bo used whenever occasion or inclmatiou calls for !t. A Mrs Fox, a German woman, was pla ced in tho New Allmn jail, for being disor derly and whipping her husband. Upon * promising better behavior slio was let off by paying jail fees. Tim following hill, rendered by a car ponter to a farmer for whom he had wor ked, seems at least curious: “To UangV* ing two barn doors and myself ..even hours! ono dollar ami a half.” \ Not long since a gentleman took his lit tle daughter to tlio Dentist’s to linve ft tooth extracted. After the operation, her lather said to her: “Now, my dear, if you don't put your tongue where the tooth came out you’ll have a gold tooth.” To which she replied : “If 1 should have one father, it wouldn’t be long before you would he trying to got it out.” Minnie one day talking to her little class in Sunday-school about God's great • love to man. Wishing to impress upon tlioir minds, nnd to know whether they m.dorstoad her, she asked : “Now, chit dien. who lovos nil men ?’ Tlio question was hardly asked, before a little girl, not four years old, answered quickly ; “All - women!’ -•- Nothing in It. — A venerable grand mother, alter returning from church one night, asked her grandson for n gourd of water. ‘ Give mo a light, aim said, wishing to know wlmt ho was drinking. ••Thor nint nothing in it, grandma,” replied the young hopelul. ‘•How do you know, Johnny t” “Cnso 1 felt in it 1” The old lady fainted.
