Throbbing with thought, and torn with agony,
Attesr hia truth t and yet we will obey

Aloft on snow-clad mountains, on whose breast
Unspotted purity has ever lain ;
The elouda of sense and passion cannot reel
Upon its shadowy summit, nor can stain
The whits veil which enwraps it, nor in vain
Roll the whi’e floods of liquid heat t they melt
The gathered stores of Eges ; to the plain
They pour them down, in streams enkindling felt
By every human heart, in myriad channels dealt.
This is the electric spark sent down f om heaven,
That woke to second life the mail ot clay;
The torch was lit in ether, light was given,
Which not all passion’s storms can sweep away;
There is no closing to this once-ri.'cn days
Tempests may darken but the sun will glow,
Serene, uncloid. and, dazzling, at and its ray
Through some small crevices will always flow,
Nor leave in utter night the world that gropes below.

THE BACHELOR’S DEATHBED.
Mr. Ethel waite sick ! exclaimed I, hastily*-
leaving my bed. What is the matter? lsaw
bim this afternoon, and he seemed unusually
well.
“I don’t krow,” said the little hoy, “bn*
mammy heered him groanin’, and did’nt
to go and see, ’cause he alwaxs looks so
at her; so she sent me down to call you.’
Poor man ! poor man ! filled my sighs con
t'nually, until I had completed my
for braving the inclemency of the weather _
But let me not forget my readers arc unac—
quninted with the individual so abrubtly intro
duced to their notice.
On a fine morning in the month of May, a,
message came to one of our church elders that,
a stranger wished to see him. •
“Indeed!” said the good man, putting or*
his best coat in some little confusion; lor c*_
stranger was a rare phenomenon in our village,,
and those who did visit ns were of a class sel
dom disposed to trouble the elders, except, in~
deed, to gull their simplicity with some proven
bial “ notions.”
But the trepidation of the k nd elder had nc»
effect on his politeness. Down he went, to
meet the unexpected visitant with as much*
gravity as if lie had in mind the apostolic in
junction. “ let your deacons be grave,” yet as
cordiallv ns if lie felt himself equally enjoined to
be “given to hospitality,”
The stranger exhibited, in manners nntl
dress, the model of a finished gentleman. He
was, perhaps, fifty years old, and diessed it*
black, with extreme neatness. A pair ol gold
spectacles did not obscure the expression ol h x
calm blue eye, and his gold-headed cane was
grasped by a hand of most aristocratic propor
tions. Bowing to the elder’s complimentary
welcome, he observed, “ In passing your littlf
village yesterday' I was so much pleased with
its neatness and quiet, as to be t>Tripled to stop
and examine it more closely. The result is, I
have been taken with the idea of terminating
in it the span of my existence. Will you be
kind enough to inform me if there are any va
cant pews in your church 1”
“ We have several,” replied the pious elder*
almost revering the devotion that made God’s
worship the first care of its possessor—“we
have several, but they are in a lonely, unfre
quented part of the church, and may be disa
greeable to you. But my own is too large
for my family, and I need not speak of the plea
sure it will afford me to have you nidus in
filling it. The insignificance of the offer em
boldens me to make it, and my gratification
will be so great as to make your acceptance
of it a personal favor.
“Pardon me,” said the st ranger, his eyes
glistening as if the voice of sympathy was an
tin wantoned sound ; “ I appreciate your kind
ness, but if the pews you speak of are lonely,
they present fewer objects to withdraw us from
our motives of entering them. Even the house
of God is not sacred from the world, and if I
have not begun to justify, I have ceased to con.
demn their weakness, who attempt to exclude
it from their hearts, by secluding from it their
senses.”
The good elder said not another word, but,
!®’ting his hat, thev quietly walked towards the
c .urch ; one, with his eves lifted in praise to
heaven that he had at last found an Ararat fbr
the ark of his wanderings, and the other, with
his bent to the ground in humility, to think how
fur his conceptions of devotion and charity
were surpassed by those of his companion.
Nothing occurred to disturb their meditations,
until the rusty key grated in the lock of the old
church door, when they passed down the aisle,
to examine the pews. Just as the stranger had
se’ected one for his use. he happened locast
his eves back towards the pulpit, and was
gt.irtled to observe beside it a marble slab, sa.
cred to the memory of Dorcas Lindsay—who
had been, indeed, « Dorcas to our village.
Without stopping to read the < atalogim of her
virtues, he rushed out. leaving the worthy elder,
who had not observed the cause, almost petri
fied with astonishment.
Even the little boys snatched up their mar-

b'es and run to hide themselves, as he brushed
down the street, striking the ground violently
w ;th his cane, and muttering, “ Now may Go' l
forgive these worse than heathen, who defy
him in his own temple with a graven image,
and besides the elevated stand of his minister,
ing servant, record the qualities of a human
j !o!; that the virtues of the one, as recorded
on the dead marble, miay he se* over against
the pretensions of the other as proclaimed by
h's living oracle-—and that idol a woman !
The world has long ago sickened me with
its man-worship—‘but teaman- worship!—l had
thought that left for the fools of France.”
Reader, our devout godly stranger was not
oilv a misogynist, but a monomaniac.
1 had been at the hotel, visiting a patient,
and was leaving it, when he entered. There
was that in his quivering lip, slightly frothed,
and his hurried tone as he demanded his horse
of the landlord, that not only excited my at
tention, hut awakened my sympathy. I paused
at the door, in anxiety to see more of one
whore agitation was so unwonted. Scarcely
had I been there a moment, when he came ot t
and stood on the sidewalk Icfore me. Never
had I seen our little villnge look so lovely.
The long row of china-trccs on either side
g'owed with an unwonted freshness. Tie
balmy brenth of spring was laden with their
perfume, and groups of children were sporting
under their shade, like cherubs in the garden
of innocence. The scene went to the heart
of the singular being before me, and when he
turned to countermand his order, it was the
same bland expression in which he was first
introduced to the reader. Since the harp of
tbeshcplierd-king was removed to heaven, man
has found no music like the laugh of childhood,
to calm the whirlwinds ofthcsoul. Its silvery
echoes break upon us amid the clouds of i so,
and we almost fancy a voice above us, saying
“Come up hither.” Its world is, indeed, a
world above our own. Like the topmost of
Babylon’s hanging gardens, it is canopied by
heaven’s serenest blue. The dew falls upon it
in all its freshness. The bright sunbeams
dance on its folliage, and play upon the brows
of its sylph-like inhabitants—lighting them to
enjoyment, us to toil. Never is man so happy
as when he can leave the world below him,
join tlieir innocent revels, and fancy himself a
denizen of the world in miniature. The most
hardened must melt, the most profl.gate must
be abashed, the proudest must be brought low,
in the presence of those, of whom, “ such is the
kingdom of heaven.”
It is needless to recount how my acquain
tance began with this singular individual ; how
it was ripened into friendship, or from friend
ship into the most deep-rooted affection. It is
not difficult for sympathy to gain the attention
of its object under any circumstances, and
especially of one so alive to its yearnings as he
of whom we are speaking. It was not imme
diately that I ascertained either the existence
or extent of his malady, but our subsequent
intercourse displayed it to be in all its features.
I might win a smile bv depicting the ludicrous
extremes to which it often carried him ; but to
his day his memory' rests upon me like a pall,
and laughter at his expense would sound like
the laughter of demons.
A year had rolled by, during which my at
tentions to our unfortunate invalid had been
most qsiduous. 1 had seized every pretext of
giving him such medicines ns would have a
sympathetic influence on his mind, and easily
persuaded him to a regular course of diet and
exercise. Hitherto I had forborne any allu
sion to the topic of his aversion, and been very
careful to avoid, in his presence, the mention
of even the feminine pronoun. But by this
time I felt warranted to experiment on the
success of my measures.
Some kind ladies to whom I had mentioned
the fact of his derangement, were in the habit
of sending him, in my name, occasional pre
sents of fruit. On the day after his reception,
in this way, of a fine saucer of strawberries,
while he was expressing his sense of my kind
ness, I casually proposed a walk to the garden
whence I had obtained them. He immediately
assented, and thefollowing afternoon was fixed
upon for our walk.
This garden was delightfully situated in our
suburbs, and belonged to the miller of our
village. His wife, in their respective conces
sions of li suttm cuiq we,” had received it as her
special charge, and made its beauties her spe
cial lioast. To this good lady I l>ent my steps,
with the information of our intended visit. She
expressed her gratification in the most lady
like terms, both on account of our projiosed
call, and that I had given her previous intima
tion ; because she could thus see that none of
the girls should inadvertently intrude upon us.
Thanking her for her kindness, and observing
that her suggestion in regard to the girls had
anticipated my chief des'gnj n waiting upon her,
I withdrew, feeling in my breast the alternations
of hone and fear—'
“Like light and shade upon a waiving field.
Coursing each other, when the flying clouds
Now hide, and now reveal the sun."
At the appointed time we started on our pro
posed walk. He was a most interesting com
panion, and well versed in general literature.
; Our way was so beguiled by his fine fund •!
i anecdote and judicious remarks, that the beau
| ties of the garden, broke upon us before wc
j had imrgined our walk half completed. This,
of all others, was the very thing 1 most desired,
: and to prevent his mind from being suddenly
j called off. I engaged him so deeply in the dis
; rujs’on pending between ns, that we were
I delightfully seated in the shady arbor, before he
i seemed even to notice that we had enteivd the
garden. When he realized the little paradise
■ into which we had entered, and saw before us
a table on which were placed some deliciou
s rawbetr es, his admiration knew no hounds.
\Vaile he was expressing his sense of the kind
ness displayed hy the owner of the garden, I
interrupted him by saying—Well, wc shah
make hut a poor return, unless we pay some
attention to the strawberries Iter bounty has
prepared for lis. Afraid to give him an oppot -
tu :ity of replying, or even speaking, I hastily
.landed him tlie sugar and cream, which, tomy
infinite delight, he to ik without remark. It is
as impossible for me to describe, as it is to for
get, the sensations of joy that almost convulsed
me, when I observed that my allusion to ti e
sex ofour hostess had fallen fiom me unnoticed.
Afraid least my emotions should betray them
selves, I hastened back to the topic that had
occupied us on our entrance, and found him as
ready to renew the discussion as himself.
It is unnecessary to tax the reader’s patience
by a detad of the daily visits we continued to
the same place. Suffice it to say, that I con
tinued to make casual mention of the sex, and
was daily more and more pointed in my allu
sions. I c mid observe no ch tngc in hi non
these occasions ; he only seemed i.ot to notice
my remarks. Yet it was a matter of delight
te me that he would at all suffer them to be
made in his presence, since, formerly, the least
mention of the feminine gender of any species
whatever, would produce u; on him a sensible
expression of disgust—an allusion to a woman
had never failed to call forth a torrent of in
vective.
I pursued my original plan with him for
wools Every opportunity cf i t odu< n;the
subject was embraced, and with mote and
more satisfying results. At length I ventured,
occasionally, to touch upon instances were
women had proved signul blessings to the
world. He would listen to n.e—and that was
all.
One afternoon tl c miller himself made or.e
of our party in the little summer-house. Just
as he was becoming warmly engaged in con
versation, a servant came with a message ic
quiring his personal attendance. He left us,
expressing his sorrow that he was called away’
so soon, and lagging that wc would not let his
departure affect our stay. Scarcely had he
gone, when Mr. Ethel waite remarked, “How
r trely do wc meet with such unaffected urbani
ty in the lower walks of life.”
Ah, said I, he owes every thing t > his wife.
He was once a degraded sot, hut her affection
and her prayers won him back to the paths of
duty. She in turn owes every thing to otsc
who has entailed a debt of gratitude upon us
all. I mean Dorcas Lindsay, to whose worth
the marble slab in our church is a feeble tribute,
1 do not like the practice of blazoning forth the
virtues of the creature in the temples of the
Creator, hut Miss Lindsay was of so pure and
saintly a nature, that we could hardly reckon
the atmosphere of earth her natural element.
Fearing that the eulogium into which I had
been drawn would make him impatient, I
changed the tone of my discourse by remark
ing—Her manner of coming among us was
rather rnyrt r uns. We had long felt the want
of a good female teacher, and the trustees of
our female academy advertised so t'te purpose
of obtaining one. Shortly after the publicat on
of the adverti.-cnent, a letter was received from
a lady stating that she had hut lately arrived
in this conntv from London. On her voyage
she had suffered ship wreck, and was now a
stranger among strangers, and destitute. She
had left England because she was friendless,
and it had been her design to engage in teach
ing from choice, even if shipwreck had rot
made her anx : ons to do so, from necessity.
The dchcacy of language in which the note
was couch 'tl, and here and there a tear, which
had blotted its pages, togetherwith the unfortu
nate circumstance of the writer, won the
sympathies of the trustees, and they sent for
her immediately. It is thirty years since she
came among us, hut I remember her first ap
pearanee as if it was but yesterday. She had
the brow of a queen and a full h'ack eye. that
might once have been bright and flashing—hut
sorrow had softened it. A gold chain around
her neck was attached to a miniature almost
concealed by her belt. This was the only
earthly treasure the waves had left her.
I had never been in the habit of looking at
Mr. Ethclwaite, when conversing with him in
this way, least he might suspect some design ;
but a deep groan hastily arrested me, and
turning towards him, I saw the very soul of
agony depicted on his sea tures. The veins of
his forehead stood out like cords, and were
swelled almost to bursting. His eyes scemi and
starring from their sockets—his mouth was
slightly open, as if to drink in every word that
fell from my lips.
Shocked beyond the power ofspccch, I took
his arm to lead him home.
Hastily repulsing my attempt, he gasped out
“ Dorcas Ad Lindsay ?—Go on.
My dear sir, I have no more to sny. She
lived among us like a saint, and died as she
lived. Let me lead you home, you arc un
well.
“ The miniature.”
She carried it with her toher d\ ing day, and
by her own request I had it buried with her in
her coffin.
“ Was it this ?” grasping my arm, fixing his
hair in a particular way that displayed a large
scar, and glaring upon me with his eyes as if he
would pierce my very soul.
The miniature certainly had a scar upon the
head, but it was of quite a young man. Do
let me lend you home.
“ Was it this ?” dashing hin hand into his
pocket and out again, with a miniature which
he held full before my eyes, his own glaring
upon me os before.
j C. R. IIANLEITEIt, PRINTER.
What could I say ? The miniature in his
hand was fellow to the one I had hurried with
Dorcas Lindsay.
He rightly interpreted my silence. Grad
ually his muscles relaxed, till he sunk upon i ii
seat with a deep groan. I took his arm, and
lid him forth like a little child to my own
louse. All that night, all the next day, and
all tlie night following, he was in a raging fever.
On the morning ofthe second day he toil into
a sleep so hushed, that my wife, wno was stand
ing with me by his bed side, gently felt his
pulse. Tlie touch aroused him ■; -and opening
his eves he grasped her hand, snying, in a sub- ’
dued vo*ee, “Dorcas, have you come back to •
me?” H’s brain was still confuted, blit ins
senses were gradually returning. When they
were more fully restored, he recognized me,
and spoke ofthe long, long dream hie nd had.
From this time he gradually recovered. I
fu'n have prevailed with him to continue his
abode at my house, but no ; he had become
attached to his little room, and expressed him
self tnx Vis to die there. Taking ao nffe<t on
nte leave of my wife, and venting his grat tude
to her by n tear, he started, myself accompany
ing him. for his solitary residence.
“ You will show me her grave.” said he, ns
he pressed my hand, at parting. 1 bowed as
sent, and the next day complied with his re
quest. After this, I visited him daily for three
riavs, and always found him writing. Il was
on the night of the third day, that the little boy
came for me. as above
With a mind full of solicitude, I reached his
door. I could hear him pacing the room in
violent agitation, and venting at intervals,
groans that "nmc from his soul’s deepest
chambers. I rapped, but received no answer.
I rapped again, but still no answer was return
ed. I mentioned my name ; still he continued
walking to and fro. I repeated it. louder.
The sound arrested him. lie suddenly un
locked the door, and then went on pacing the
room and groaning. I entered, and what a
sight met my vision ! There was Mr. Ethcl
ivaito. his coat soiled and muddy, his features
worked up to the highest pitch of anguish, and
ever and anon, venting those unearthly gro: r s
that even now chill my blood. He held two
miniatures, one in each hand, at which he alter
nately gazed, after which he would groan out
—“Too true! too true!”
lie took no notice of my entrance, nor of
my entreaties that he would lie down. At
length he suddenly turned lo me and said vc
hement’y. “ God has sent you here. T<so true !
too true ! This night I entered her grave and
found tlie miniature that xvas to be, to her, my
type, during my absence. She was too happy
as she gazed on it, and the fiends of hell first
envied, and then stole her joy. Oil!—rny—
Go—’’
The rush of thought choked his utterance.
He would have fallen, but I caught and bore
him to the bed. His breath became harder
and harder—his groans less and less audible—
when suddenly raising himself, lie grasped my
hand with a dying effort—said faintly, “You
will—find—all—explained—in- —that—.” I
followed with my eyes the motion of his hand,
as he pointed to a small writing desk, and when
I turned them on him again, lie was dead !
