POETRY.
O, sweet girl ! where is my heart?
You broke it ere I thought,
In sport and play you took each part,
And for it left me naught.
Wlut shall I do, dear ATiaa ?
In such a state of g> icf,
How longer live without the bliss
01 gaining you for my relief.
How dare you have so many beaux ?
When the life you would not save,
Without cue hopeful smile of yours,
Is siukiug iu the grave.
Revenge, I'm bound to take,
In spite of all you sny ;
Into your sweetest slumbers'break,
And steal your rest away.
My wailing ghost shall limit you up !
And mingle with your fears,
And pour into your bitter cup
My unavailing tears.
‘ Ah me ! he’s surely come,”
Y'our mournful spirit cries,
“To make mv heart a weeping homo
For all my flattering lies.”
OER NATCH DAY NIGHT.
Sleeping for the Morrow.
Saturday Nigut ar/ain ! Good-by
blotted record ! Farewell maogicd,
crushed and withered bouquet of seven
flowers which now lies bleeding at our
feet. Seven times has llis revolving
glance passed thee over, and thy mission
is ended--tby tccord gathered—thy la
bor done—into forgetfulness, and soon
wc will follow.
Will any one who may read this,
when comes the finis of the week, ever
give one thought to the wiiter of this
chapter and “wish he were hero V
Yes!
Who ?
She !
Perhaps others. But certainly she
will. Who is she ? Our Darling.
Sleeping now—just there, close with
in reach. We had too much to do this
week, and so all the evening have we
worked with the pen in our little room.
Our home room. She wai tired to-night,
and her brain was full of wild pain.—
We tried to smooth and sooth it away,
butvould not all. And she would uot
let us devote all the time to her, but
sail she would be well in the morning,
and then she would read what we had
written.
So we wrote our items and said our
say for those who look therefor, and la
zily, drzamily, wearily, sat and watched
our* Darling. She stood by the glass
and let the long, beautiful hair fall over
her snowy bosom whereon our tired
head has rested. Who cou'd help gaz
ing and thinking ? Not we. And she
shook ou' the rich Lair, laughed at a
joke as she drak our health from a gob
let filled with water, put her soft arms
about our neck, kissed ns good night,
and hade us ‘come quickly,and now
she is sleeping. Sleeping for the mor
row !
We have watched the rising and full
ing of the counterpane—have been
there to place our arm around her neck
and waken her once with a kiss.
And we think aud write. It is past
midnight—two hours since the worry
hand to k up the pen to write ibis. The
great bell of the clock has just driven
twelve nails into the coffin-lid of the
week, and down the winds it rides on
the echoes fast dying out 1
She is sleeping fur the morrow.—
Pretty soon we .hail sleep for the mor
row Shall all sleep for that great
morrow over there ! God grant that wc
who love may sleep together and waken
together in the morning of llis love.
We love her. She is very good to
us. As we know each other better we
love each other. She said she never
would si eak a harsh word to us--we shall
not to her. It matters not for wealth
ours is of the heart. Her life is much
id ours—ours in hrrs. She bel eves iu
us —we iu her. She would not tell us
ar. untruth —we would not tell her one
If wc do wrong sho forgives us, and we
ptay God to. All of us do wrong at
times—who does not?
She has laughed with u=—rompod
with us—wept with us—hoped with us
—borne with our imperfections—given
us all there is of woman’s beautiful
love, and keeps it all for us.
Some may not like her, tut we di,
and more some may not and do not tke
us, but sho docs, and more. Wc arc
happy in each other’s love. Over yon
der, across the way, in odo more beau
tiful than she who is sleeping just there,
but she is not so good. She may be to
] t ; m —jf to, wo are glad, but wc are
coutent just as it is, for bo it is—we
must be, we will be happy. For by
this we are happy 1
She is good to ue When cur head
aches, and aches, she pets us, and we
forget pain. Sho comes and sits by us
—on our knee—by our side. She works
for us as we do for her. Sho tries to
encourage us—sho tries to make us bap
py__sbe has no unkind, cruel, cold, cut
ting, chilling, love-blighting words for
us—she is ever glad when we come, aud
generous welcome gives. She does’not
care for others as for us.
There are larger homes than ours,
but what of it? Here we aro contcn'.
This carpet—this table—this lamp we
earned. And all theso beautiful things
on the wall and shelves, wo earned.—
Once wo had no homo. Then wo had
Once wo had not one foot of carpet—a
book save the Bible ; a pioture, or arti
cle of luxury. Now we b*vp (nany.—
Wo earned them little by little, Riab
people passed us by—sneered at jus—
bade us stand aside, or dance in the
next set! Rut what ol that? We
do not live for others—that is, ju fear
of others, or afraid ol their spcooh.-
They may tbiok of us as they please.
God knows and wc know*, aud that of
others is not of us ! We love those
who lovo us, &bd all who do uot may go
j their way —wo will not follow. Lovo
I sown by the waysido is wasted lovo
' sowu at homo grows into the guide wo
: foil 'W to Heaven !
Some are richer than we—yot they
are not. Wo have a home—loved ones
—h"pe, confidence, good intentions, and
tho respect of all who truly know us
and what more ouu wo ask 7 She who
is sleeping says we should be content—
.ve arc.
Little by little we add to tho comforts
of life aud the uttraetions of home.—-
What wo earn wo save, fciomo liir bus
iness, some for the poor, sumo fur tho
poor little orphans ol those whose la
thers and mothers died drunkards, or
whose lathers were soldiers. It is not
what we have that makes us happy; as
it is what we don’t ico.nl! Wo never
want what we cauuot get. When able
to get it we waut it. Then we get it.
,\ud this helps make us coutcut.
She would not be cross to us, for we
try to bu g to her Aud this is why
worn u love--vvhy men lovo—why a 1
do love. If all men wore good to their
wives, their children, their darlings, wo*
men would be better, aud men would
be better, aud the wotld happier.
There are those iu greater houses,
tbwse who sleep on down, iu silken rust
ling;, who are not happy. Ttreir love
sloops for the morrow which is never to
waken this side the great river ! God
pity them if they are rich. Tho poor
are happier. That is, if they try to
be.
How many who sleep to-night as wc
write this are happy. Oh God ! D n’t
answer it! M>w many a good mother
is there who is not sleeping, waiting for
some wandering boy or girl to come
home? How many a loving sister it
there waitiog for a brother t) return ?
How many a wiU, weary with watching,
boart-sore from nogleot, trombliug from
drunken abuse, unluVed, uncarcd sot by
him who is oaruusiag as we arc work
ing ? How many a worn in is there
who sleeps a troubled sleop, on poor
bed or none, neglected, uuluved ? Aud
how many men are there wtio have uo
care for home, uo desira to make their
loved on s happy or attractive; who
rquauder their money, and then blame
others for their own failures ? How W3
wish such men had the pluck to do righ !
Let them go home never so still; lo k
at the cot, the couch, the bed, where
their wives or little ones; their darliugs,
are sleeping for the morrow, and, while
all is quiut, tlunk —thkk of the past

TlieGol I roomnfferthe Panic*
The Herald of Sunday says :
But yesterday the gold room might
have stood against the world. Confla
gration in its wildest fury never made
more terrific wreck. It was a scene to
be witnessed with sympathetic feelings,
for, setting nsido the utter recklessness
of the worthless component parts of
the flame, the transaction was disas
trous and furnishes subject for regret,
although in the main the result must
be hailed w ith gratification. D.sconso
lute the monetary animals prowled
around the arena where the mighty
struggle was attempted. Neither
“bears” nor “bulls” assumed the offen
sive yesterday. Reluctantly whipped
into obedience —forced into decency by
complete exhaustion —« compelled to
forego the greedy appetite for gain by
popular inoignati on —t e mporarily
thrust aside as crawling reptiles that
bad glutted themselves w i h their prey;
mortified at the resultot the fea>t (same
of the guests at the board having been
poorly soived,) and generally dissatis
fied, the majority of the gamblers wo-e
non cst yesterday. Although the
streets were crow ded, but little busi
ness was transacted. A pall hung
over the assemblage. A \t noon it was
like a “wake” the crowd of sympathi
zers waiting to convey their murdered
friend “speculation” to his lasting place.
Rut the gold room was a picture iu it
self. Not many horns before it re
sounded with eager shouts and vocif
erations—the hoarse cries of infuriated
demons —whose thirst for gold was
stronger than their voices- Indeed
they so strained that they cackled and
fiualiy broke down. The ruins of Pom
peii are grand tp contemplate; the
blight on the gold room leaves a sad
and miserable spectacle tp behold. On
Friday lust the Furies were exercised,
Gorgous grinned and harpies ravelled
iu delight.

“On night rrot long since, ten
men nnd three hoys went down into a
coal pit at Hrierly-hill. They had
just eutm their suppers, and got to
their work again, w hen a sudden hurst
of water from an old working flooded
all tho pit, nnJ cat them off irom thn
shaft; hut for the fact that some of the
workings were much higher than tho
shaft bottom, they must have boon
drowned at once. Not liil morning
was the accident discovered by thoso
on tho surface, and to pump out the
flood—what a task! For four days
tire engines elunkud, aud amidst :t
breathless crowd of watchers tho water
ceaselessly poured out Not till Sat
urday afternoon was there any proof
that tl o volume of water was sensibly
diminished, and long ore then it was
thought tho poor fellows must t.avu*
succumbed to lear, huugor or foul air.
Hut on Sunday evening shouting from
the bottom of tho was heurd, and.
immediately a party went down at the
ri.-k ol their own lives, to search and
save. After some ineflootual attempts
a raft was made, which was pushed
along tho surface of tho vvuter till the
first party of imprisoned miners wertr
reached, and five of them were brought
safely to tho upper air. tSlill works the
ceaseless pumps, another day passes,,
and in a further working, six more
were found alive, and finally on Mon
day afternoon at) elderly man was
found in a remote part of the pit, stand
ing up lo his neck in tho wate - , and
wonderful to say, he too was alive,
though he had tasted no food for six
days They all got fresh air by put
ting their mouths down closo to tho
water, and breathing each time a rip
ple was caused on its surface by tho
splashing of tho barrel used in draw
ing the water up the shaft. One only
of the company was lost. He had
frantic at tho prospect of death
in the mine, and had perished in des
spair. Tho others w ent to prayer and
so got the patience which saved thetn-
Thev were on their kne.g when they
first heard the shout of those who were
coiui ig to their rescue. One had
written in a tobacco box:—‘Dear wives,
we are singing and praying while we
are Hying. Tell my brothers and sisters
to follow God more thuu I ever did. I
wrote this on Wednesday night, about
a quarter past six o’clock. Dear pa
rents, prepare to meet in heaven.’—
They knew, hour by hour, the time by
feeling the fingers of a tvateb. What
“nobier story ran be told than that of
these poor miners, expecting to be en-<
tombed in that horrible place, yot pray
ing and calmly waiting the event!”—
