ORICINAL POETRY (For tbe Journal. TI»« old Ib«N Tliouglila ul Ttviliglil. BY A Jh twilight fulls o'er my head, It remiuds me of years that are pas/ ; And briugs night, like death, so near, iriiich / know will come at last. 1-ife is a long, long - road to me, When 1 view it in sorrow’s light, But wlitn 1 schu its joy and mirth, It seems brief as a summer’s night. As / sit in the twilight here, -4nil the lone bird sings in the wild, Memory wanders back to the days •When the gray headed man was a child. To inuoecnt child hood's ha;>py hours— The little friends and schoolmates dear, That time has scattered o’er the world, And parted them for many a year. The days I remember well, When steadfast friends I made;- 1 loved them all with youthful pride, And thought they’d never, never fade. Hut, as we journey’d on through life, Our sports wc all forgot , And sought, amid the worldly throng, A richer, foreign spot. Aow r .7know not one of them ; The few that are on the earth, Are far awav o'er land nud sea, And care not for their boyish mirth. If twilight passes o’er like years, In its deep dusk, then 1 should smile; For life once more, I’d have to tread, If ere 1 again a little child. And now the days are o’er and gone, I would not cull them bach; No; life’s weary path is far too long To wish again to course its trace. All that claimed my heart on earth- - Those darling ones, that made me “we,” Arc sleeping now—their last long sleep, beneath the graveyard tree. ITliy, then, should 1 wish to stay. Friendless and lonely here below : When all the forms I loved are cold. And long since gone before. When evening shades rest on my head, And kiss my wrinkled brow, A voice whispers “Peace 1 best old man, 7here is no sorrow now. Thy journeying here is done at lust; Care on earth shall be mor.e ; For soon we’ll near thy soul away To a realm of bliss—a happier shore.” Perhaps the young oft' pity me, ylnd look on me with rising tears ; Ah ! my heart o#t sigh« for them, but for itself it has no fears. For-all the dangers here, by me, J feel are safely pass'd ; ,-fnd I’ve the gift, the priceless gift, A home in heaven at last. •Youth musttroau tlic same old road, Wi h all its cares and strife : While mine are ended her below— The old man now is done with life. M I S C ELL ANEOU S. ] Kruiii tlu- New York Sunday Tiiaec. The Stolen Portrait. There was once a poor peasant, named Pierre Arnot, who dwelt near Arles, in the South of France, together with his wife and little daughter called Pauline. This little girl at ten years of ago was not of.ly exceedingly love ly in person but was gifted with a voice w liich was the delight of all who heard it —so s\\ eot; so clear and so powerful were its tones. And when the good priest took her into the vil lage choir, persons li'om tho neighbor ing hamlets and even from Arles, would coino purposely to hear her sing. Yet no persuasion or represen tation could induce Pierre to pari with his little grand daughter; for tho pur pose of having her educated for the opera. Pierre, tho’ practically know ing nothing of the world beyond his own neighborhood, knew something of the trials and temptations that be set stage singers and actresses, and | not for ail tho riches or fame taut might thereby be brought, would he lmvo subjected, his little Pauline—his pretty treasure, his home’s sunshine — to such an ordeal. Ono day there came two (rangers very fine, and polite gentlemen, they seemed to Piern‘ and his w tie to ne gotiate lor the little girl. They would j educate, lier and treat her hLe a lady , ! they would guard her as though 6he were a princess; they would pour into Pierre’s hands- uncounted gold it he would only couscut to let tiletu. tako Pauline and educate her as a public singer. But Pierre was deaf to all entreaties, and the little girl herselt was sorely frightened at the idea of I leaving her dear grand parents and the humble vine-wreathed hut in ! which she had dwelt since her birth. | y;,, the negotiations for the Theatre Koyale went away disappointed a*d i Lt sonic weeks after, as little Paul ! i ue stood leaning upon the crazy wiek ! t , r gate, gazing dreamily, at. the rose tinuul clouds which the sunset had j lclt (for the little child loved all beau j tiful sights and sounds) softly andlotv- Ij v from the meadows below came the ' round of music and the sweetest and j most fairy-like music that she had ev er heard. At first she fancied it must I come from the clouds, so seruphically | soft and dreamy was it; and then she 1 advanced a few steps and then listen- o A a nd advanced again, and finally her little bare feet wont tripping through the grass and duu. m quest of the mysterious sounds. And this ■ toa.to.y4B ; U re in its white peasant s dre,s. lit up , the rosy halo of a summer sunsei I I —was the last glimpse that the gooc '’old grandmother calling aftei hei r j from the cottage fence ever had of he; * 1 little Paulino. , , ■j Home people ''ho f* 0 Joare '! that heavenly nutato, said that, tne ht I tlo girl had bec-n enticed away hy fa. .“J* And this belief grew into pop ulaf tradition ps vtiar aftor year pass ed, and nothing more v.-tu seen a ; heard of Paulino Arnot. Those years had % hrought sad clnin ; gos to good PiorrtJ. His wife wa: j dead, no was alone in the world, in firm and unable to war or indued, tc ; do anything hut play on his violin which he did with marvelous shill, foi j a talent for music was inherent in tin | family, 110 had to sell his little cot j fijge ; and then without a house tc j shelter him, and too proud to accop ! unrequited charity, ho took his violin in hand, and set forth in his old ag* to earn a precarious livelihood by play ing from town to town. ’ And at length I came to England and, after vainly try ing his fortune in the streets of Lou ! don proceeded to the- SSfcnmtry amont | whose green fields and shadowy lanes tho country-bred old matt felt more at home. One day ho stopped at a small vil ! Upsh'nm. Observing i I shopTyhere bread and cheese and bee: were Sold lie entered and "humbly, ir his broken English requested to b< ‘favored’ with soino of them. The keeper of the shop, a good looking kind-hearted dame-, set before him the desired refreshment, and as lie ate half famished, she marked his poet clothing, and infirm appearance and the careworn look of his face, and gradually chew nut Jtis whole history It was with bitter sorrow that lu dwelt upon the disappearance of his liftle Pauline, lie had but one me morial of her, he said—a portrait ol her mother, taken when the latter wat a. girl of eighteen, by a young travel ling artist whom the cottagers had nursed through a dangerous illness. The miniature the young man had painted and left, with a token of his gratitude; and this poor Pierre had brought with him from hornet, and wore constantly in the bosom of his coat. He now drew it forth and showed it tc tho sympathizing hostess. It was, lie said, a good likeness of Pauline’s mother, but far more resembled the little girl herself at the time slio wa stolen by the- fairies. The kind heart of tin; woman was touched. “1 can get you a good job, friend,' she said, ‘if you will remain here un til to-morrow night. Jrir John Bol ton’s second son Arthur, Captain Bol ton, of the clrngooiw, was married last week, and to-morrow they and their guests go to a grand entertain ment given them at (Skidmore Park : and the servants of Sir John s (that’s his place. Moorlands, that you sec away yonder) are to hove a ball oi their own to-morrow night in celebra tion of tire marriage, and it was only to-day that Pierre, the captain’s own man was down to the village, inquir ing for old Luke lpxt r tho fiddler. Now Luke’s got a fit of the rheuma tism, and they’ll be glad to have you iu his place, if you’re a good hand at your instrument: and they’ll pay you well,for the job. W hat sac you '! ill go over at once, and speak to neigh bor Brown who will let him know. Pierre had no objection, and having made an exhibition of Lis skill in the presence of neighbor Brown, to the entire satisfaction of that lady, the re port was made and the bargain wa completed. » Tiie old violinist found tho evening at the Moorlands a very pleasant one. His performance was greatly applaud ed ; the butler the steward, and othei great distinguished personages, were condescending, and the iv t gracious and attentive to Ids wants. Captain Bolton’s own man took him up stair.-: with one or two other favored person ages, in order that he might have n sight of the splendidly furnished sail of rooms that had been prepared lot tho newly married pair, and so bo en abled ‘to toil in Pruned how such things were done in Lin gland.’ “It’s fit for a bride, even if she wn; | the Princess Royal herself, ’ observed one of tho favored admiringly. “And hi'ta sure that biessit Princess couldn’t be more deservin’ of hit than 1 my ladyY ’ said tho captain’s man loft j ily.” ‘She’s tho beautifulost lady hi J hover set hoyos hen. She bought tc | been a born Princess hinstead of : | foreign lady of good family, lial: | which his deceased.’ ; Aiul with the utterance ol this opin ion, the group descended, and in din ! time the company broke up. j On the day following, Pierre was about again setting forth, on his wan -1 derings, when ho was surprised by a , visit Horn tSir John Bolton’s balilf, in I company with tw o personages, armed | witli very official looking clubs. Their I business yvas soon told. They had come to arrest the Fr ench ! violinist oil suspicion ot having appro ! printed the miniature of Airs. Bolton, I the bride of Captain Arthur, which the latter had caused to bo taken and richly 6ot in diamonds. It had been left by the captain on Bis dressing ta j ble, and being missed upon their re i turn from ihiadmore Park, and the i captain’s man questioned thereupon, ! the latter had been foiced to coldest 1 as to his introduction ot the visitors into his masters apartments. Where upon each of these has been arrested, the violinist among them, and wen now taken to Moorlands for oxamiua tion before Sir </ohn and a magis trate. Pierre was the last called upon am ns ae be.rayed some unwillingness U j having his pocsets and yvailot search 1 i ed, the constable proceeded to do it and drew- forth a dingy and won leather case, which he first gianoed a ' ami then held up triumphantly belort ‘ j Sir John. j “It’s the picture of Mrs. Captau • Bolton, as you see, yenr honor,” hi • said; “only the dimants has boo: picked ont. by this ’ere jjd rogue, who’ no doubt hid em somewhere*, and tin - 1 painting been’ put in this old frame, r j (Sir John examined it attentively. “It is doubtless the portrait of Mrs - Arthur Bolton, my daughter-in-law,’ s i ho said, in Lis formal Way: “yet cai - not bo tin l same that, was lost, judgin; i from tho stylo of painting.” , And he handed the picture to hi r son. '■ Tito latter examined it, ut first wit! ■ surprise, and then with ah exprossiot > of curiosity and bewilderment. t ‘lt is Surely the portrait of nty wi f’e, i he remarked; ‘yet, as you say, sir, i » is not tho one that has been lost. Tin ■ painting is much inferior, tho ares i different, and oven tho expression i, - not tho same. When*- dirt you gt • this picture, my good, man if’ lie eon ; tinuod, turning to Pierre, aud. speak ingin French. ‘lt is the portrait of my daughter Monsier,’ replied the violinist, “an,, was taken more than twenty year: ' a S°‘’ Captain Bolton to his father. “Ya how wouderously like. ‘Pauline ? repeated Pierre, turnluj, suddenly to the speaker; and thoi adding dreamily, as if to himself, ‘Ah it was tike Paulino—my iittW Paul ine.’ Hurried and eager questioning fol lowed on both sides. ‘There is no doubt of it, ’ said Cap tain Bolton, at length, grasping tin old musician’s hand. “You are I’iorrt Arnot, my w ife’s grandfather, of wlion sho has so ofte# spoken. She told nn all she could remoniber'of her earl\ life before site \\a, stolen ttwaj from home, and was extremely anx ious to find you, but hud unfortunatelj forgotton the name of tire place whence sho came. How glad she will bo And for myself, old friend, I am glad also thus to have found you. ’ ■ Thereupon tho young wife was in formed of the nows, and soon entered tho room, Hushed and eager. Oiie glanco between the two was sufficient, fu eight years Pierre hail but little changed, and though the graceful, beautiful creature before him steed in woman’s 'stature,, and arrayed In silk and jewels, yet the eyes of the old man easily recpeiuzyd.tJie sweet' tax'", 4 the golden hair, and large luminous eyes of his darling. And the joy aiul ten derness of that meeting who may de scribe ? Little Pauline had boon niliect away out of sight of her home, not b’ fairies, but by Lcclerk’s inimitabh j flute-player, whom the clover “nego ! eiuteurs” before mentioned had take! j tho trouble to- bring all tiro wav froh Paris for this special purpose. Ani ! then they had fitted her into a dost j carriage in waiting, so gaining posses siou of tho prize which they had fails.. 'to purchase with gold. They hac j however, kept their promise to tin j grandfather, and Pauline had beet well educated, aud treated and trough up ‘Hike a lady,” as they said sin j should bo. And her beauty, her ac I com, lislmients, aud refinement, hat j won the heart of Captain Bolton, wliei j introduced to at a private enter : tainmont just before her proposed do | but, and as we have soen, sho becamt j liis wife. And this story I had frou i a descendant, one high among the so j cial circles of the British capitol. I (if course this ended tho wandering: •of the grandfather. lie was at one transferred from the road to handsonu ! quarters with his darling Pauline where the remainder of his life wa spent in the swot t >st tranquility.
