Come thou to me ! for .he sun is setting, And the pale stars peep from their azure screen ; Light dews the violet’s leaves are wetting And pearly drops on the grass are seen ! Night’s veil is tailing o’er land and sea— Come thou to me! come thou to me . Come thou to me! Daylight is fading, And the young birds have iolded their weary wines; , _ The vapours of twilight the mountains are shading, . , And silver mists rise from the cold fountain s springs! Night’s robe is closing o’er land and sea— Come thou to me! come thou to me ! Come thou to me !—for the bees are reposing, Who’ve hum’d ’mid the thyme-bank the long sunny day ; The butterfly’s wings on the rose leaves aie closing, The ants from their hillock are up and away! Night’s veil is falling o’er land and sea— Come thou to me ! come thou to me ! Come thou to me ! the ring-dove is mourning, Like the sigh of some lover amid the pine trees, Who waits with impatience the dear one’s re turning, And murmurs his griefs to the stars and the breeze! Night’s curtains close o'er land and sea— Come thou to me! come thou to me ! THE SPRING. From the German. In the early morn, Singing, smiling, pail m hand, To .he Spring I went. For water? No! Huntsman Fritz went down the path Leading to the Mary-spring— “l go for water, Mother!” Huntsman Fritz is there, Leaning gravely on his gun. “Ah, Fritz! thou here?” (Wondering eyes!) “Curious that we thus should meet ; Seldom come I to the Spring So early in the morning! Fritz knows well the girls: Winking, smiling, he replied, “Oh, I know it all! Behind a tree I hid myself before thou cam’st; Saw thee looking round for me— Oh, the cunning Meta !” Then there was a kiss, Talking, laughing, there we stood, Happy as the birds. “Fritz, I must go ; The mother for her breakfast waits ” Another kiss. “Till next sunrise Farewell, my little darling!” Then home I went, Singing, smiling, pail in hand, Thinking of my Fritz. “How slow thou art? 1 could have gone in half the time.— Give me the puil, thou lazy thing, Why, it is empty, daughter!” How the Mother raged, Scolding, frowning, full of wrath! Trembling there I stood, Beside the pail, “Wicked girl! take care, take care— I must watch thee day and night.” But Fritz I’ll see to-morrow ! [ Liter ary World. C’lic Itonj (T’rllrr. A LEGEND OF MEXICO. Fernando Cortes and his handful of adventurers were on their march toward the imperial city of Montezuma. Night overtook them as they emerged from a i deep ravine among the mountains, into an open plain watered by a small rivu let, Reside the stream they halted and pitched their tents ; and having parta ken of a slight refreshment, the whole troop threw themselves upon theground in the attitude of attention, while Don na Ma rina,the beautiful Indian interpre tress, related to them a legend of her native country. “ 1 have already told you,” she be gan, “that the city of Tezcuco was once the capital of this empire. Nezahual coyotl there held his court, which was more magnificent than that of any pre ceding monarch. Rut at the time in which my story begins, his long and glorious reign was drawing to a close He had been, successively, a warrior, a statesman, a poet, and a philosopher, and so humane and munificent a prince, ■hat his subjects might easily have been persuaded to pay him divine honours, j Vll the nations of Anahuac rejoiced un der the shadow of his arm, and though lie had fought his way to the throne, he needed now no warlike weapon to de tend it. Rut Nezahualcoyotl was old, a id he desired to see his son united in marriage to the Princess Torquosa, and firmly established as his sueces or, before his departure to the land of shades. “ -Prince Xezahualpilli, was majestic in person, grave in manners, and pos sessed of a comprehensive and philo sophic mind. He had made great pro ficiency in mathematics, astrology, and he science of war, while his royal fa her himself had instructed him in the rites of religion, charging him to wor hip alone the invisible God and his ministers, the sun, moon, and stars. — fhis prince possessed, also, in his youth, ocial and more gentle virtues. He cas just, but generous, and though a orave warrior like his father, like him ne was also humane and merciful, lie was more fond of retirement than a ourt, and preferred study to the din of arms; yet, in times of necessity or dan ger, no prince was ever wiser in council <r more brave in battle. “ Such was Nezahualpilli, the heir to he throne ofTczcueo, and the destined husband of the beautiful and beloved Corquosa. “ Descended from that illustrious but uenign race who brought to Anahuac ust laws and purer faith, the Princess Torquosa inherited their benignity of manners, their loftiness and equanimity of mind. Wherever she appeared she vas regarded as a superior being. The people prostrated themselves before ler palanquin with as much reverence is befere that of the emperor. She was •ailed by the minstrels,‘theToltec maid ‘in,’ ‘the bird of the valley,’ and ‘ the sweet singing bird of the royal eagle’s nest. Her dark, sad eyes, her raven tresses, her pearly teeth, and brilliant smile, are still commemorated in our songs; and still on the lake of Tezcuco, ■n a clear evening, a solitary boatman wdl sometimes pass you, singing some strain ot an ancient melody to ‘the Tol tec maiden’s charms. In the imperial palace a long suite of apartments were appointed to the rincess 1 orquosa. They overlooked one ot the great courts and royal gar dens, and were furnished with rare taste and magnificence. Bright flowers or gay landscapes were wrought in nee dlework upon the carpets, while the ceilings were of finest wood, and carved by the most skilful artisans in the em pire. IS he sat or reclined upon luxuri ous cushions ; her food was served to her in vessels of delicate porcelain or gold, studded with gems, and fair maid ens of noble birth surrounded and at tended her, walked barefoot in her pre sence, and wearing over their rich gar ments the coarse robe of vassalage. Jhe princess herself was clothed in tine cot ton, ornamented with the emerald and torquoise. She wore also, when she left the palace, a mantle of gorgeous feather-work, while ever her long, black tresses and high, pale forehead waved the white and graceful plume of the ostrich. “ It was her custom to walk often, at evening, upon the roof of the palace, accompanied by her maidens. The prospect from thence was singularly beautiful. On the one side lay the city of Tezcuco, then the first in the em pire; on the other, the sparkling wa ters of the lake, so gay with its light boats and floating gardens; while far down in the distance appeared the fairy island of the Lord of Estapalapan, and right opposite the palaces, the teocal lis and busy streets of the ancient city of Mexico. “ Rut 1 must hasten to my tale, for the evening wanes. “ The time had been appointed for the marriage of the prince and princess. Active preparations had been made throughout the empire, and on the fol lowing day that event was to take place which had been so long anticipated.— The palace was a scene of festivity and joy. The fragrance of flowers filled all the apartments ; cooling fountains were playing in the courts and gardens ; the countenance of the old emperor beam ed with smiles; and the usually grave and thoughtful expression of the prince ly bridegroom had given place to one of open gladness. The sweet bride had sat all day in her own apartments, sur rounded by her maidens; sometimes sitting in pensive silence, the lights and shadows passing by turn over her love ly face, and sometimes singing snatches of sweet songs, with a voice so full of melody’ that they’ seemed to overflow from her very heart. So the da}’ at length passed on, and twilight was deep ening into night, when the prince sought Torquosa, and they ascended together the palace roof. It was such an even ing as this. The moon shone brightly over the stately city and the clear wa ters, while the royal lovers walked to gether and talked of the glowing future, with as much happiness as if their lot had not been so high. “ The large, bold eyes of the prince, that flashed so terrible upon his ene mies, were now softened into love ; and the voice so high and loud, that it was heard throughout his hosts in the midst of battle, was now as low and sweet as the music of the Castilian lute. And well might he thus look and speak, when he gazed upon those features, so full of trusting affection and radiant hope. The cheek of the princess seem ed to glow with a brighter and richer bloom than ever before, and an un wonted light and beauty sparkled in her clear eyes. “ ‘They tell me,’ she said, ‘that this world is one of sorrow; but 1 have never found it so. My path has ever been like that of yonder moon through the serene heavens ; no cloud has cross ed it; and such the astrologers tell me it shall he to the end. I believe them, and rejoice for thy sake. Yes, my be loved, thy path and mine are the same, and while 1 live it shall never be dark ened.’ “ ‘Ah! truly,’ replied the enraptured prince, forgetting his philosophy, ‘it shall be as thou hast said ; while thou livest 1 shall never know darkness, for thou shalt be to me a perpetual light.’ “ While the prince and princess were thus conversing, they did not observe a female figure, which crouched at a lit tle distance from them, and listened breathlessly to their words. It was the figure of an Aztec slave, who had been taken captive by the prince in war, and presented to his destined bride. “ When they turned to descend into the palace she was gone. She had en tered their presence unperceived, and unperceived departed. The prince ac companied Torquosa to her apartments, where they separated with a cheerful ‘good night.’ “ The princess was immediately sur rounded by her attendants, who assist ed to disrobe her, and she lay’ down upon her couch with a light and happy heai t. “She had sunk into a soft and pleas ant slumber, and her maidens also were wrapped in profound repose, when a light and stealthy tread might have been heard in her chamber, and the form of the Aztec slave bent over her. With a malignant and envious gaze the wretched menial bent her eye upon that innocent, unconscious face. Tor quosa’s long, dark tresses fell like a cloud over her delicate bosom, one glowing cheek rested on a slender trails parent hand, a smile still lingered on her lips, and over all, like a glow of sunlight, was shed that lofty and serene expression which marked her Toltec origin. “ ‘Beautiful and happy,’ exclaimed the Aztec, ‘ beautiful and happy, royal and beloved, thou shalt not live. The prince 1 adore is thy lover—thy hus band to-morrow. To-morrow ! —where wilt thou be to-morrow? No! his path shall no longer be illuminated by thee ! So, ‘ the astrologers have fore told that thy life shall be always hap py,’ but thou canst die ! Ay, die in thy youth, thy bloom, and by the hand of an alien and a slave. lie thought not of that last night—he thought not when he scorned my love that 1 could dream of vengeance. But soft—she may awake. 1 must be quick, or ‘ the bird,’ ‘the singing bird,’ will escape me yet. Now, hated Toltec, thy time has come!’ “So saying, the fierce Aztec drew from her robe the fatal weapon. It flashed a moment in the moonlight which streamed like a guardian over the sleeping maiden, and was then bu ried in her bosom. She uttered no groan, for the knife found a direct pas sage to her heart. “So passed the sweet Princess Tor quosa to the laud of shadows. The as trologers were right—she died before her noon, but lived without a sorrow. “ With a smile of savage exultation, the slave drew the bloody weapon from the bosom of the princess, and hastily left the apartment. “The morning dawned with more than usual glory. The valley of Mex i ico was all spread out in the sunlight, SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. glowing with beauty, and full of anima tion and joyousness. “ The population of the whole em pire were abroad at early dawn, anx ious to celebrate, with snitable festivi ties, the marriage of their renowned prince. They might be seen in gay groups in the markets, public roads,and gardens, on the roofs of the houses, and on the boats and islands of the lake, in their holiday dresses, adorned with flowers, and carrying large nosegays of fragrant honeysuckles and roses. Ban ners waved, music played, and the priests in long procession wound slowly up the sides of the teocallis,with waving censers and choicest offerings, seeking to propitiate the gods. “The young prince, with a light heart, leaped from his couch, and having been magnificently attired, sought the apartments of his bride, followed by a crowd of attendant nobles. “ Alas ! alas ! tradition tells us that, after the sight he saw there, Prince Nezahualpilli was a changed man. He became stern even to severity, and was never known to smile, lie lived to be firmly established on the throne of his father, and then to see his empire pass into other hands. Rut the changes in © . 4 his fortune affected him but little since the dark and sudden night which had fallen upon his youth. “ lie died at last in obscurity. Some say that the Aztec slave followed him through life like an evil spirit, and at last, in his age and decrepitude, des troyed him with the same weapon which had drunk up the life-blood of the Princess Torquosa,in her youthand bloom. But be that as it may, you may still see, in a moonlight evening, two stately forms hovering over the palace roof of the Lord of Tezcuco, the one resembling a warrior prince, the other a beauteous maiden apparalledas a bride.” As Donna Marina finished her tale, the Spanish general took up his guitar and played a soft Castilian air. The bold cavaliers around him were sub dued by the plaintive strainand the sad legend, and their thoughts wandered alternately from the barbaric splen dours of the New World to their native country —from “ the Toltec maiden” and her royal lover, to the homes and faces so far away. j.Mjitai|)lji! fur tljr jXuplr. Sympathies of Sounds. —lt is owing to the sympathetic communication of vibrations that persons with clear and powerful voices have been able to break a large tumbler glass by singing close to its proper fundamental note. We have heard of a case where a person broke no fewer than twelve large glass es in succession. The sympathy of vi brations, or tendency of one vibrating body to throw another into the very same state of vibration, shows itself re markably in the case of the going of two clocks fixed to the same shelf or wall. It was known near a century ago that two clocks sot going on the same shelf will affect each other. The pen dulum of the clock which is stopped, after a certain time, will resume its vi brations, and in its turn stop that of the other clock. Mr. John Elliot, who first observed these effects, noticed that two clocks, which varied from each other ninety-six seconds a day, agreed to a second for several days when they were placed on the same rail. The slowest of these two clocks, which had a slower pendulum, set the other in motion in sixteen minutes and a half, and stopped itself in thirty-six minutes and a half. These effects are clearly produced by the small vibrations communicated from the one pendulum to the other through the shelf, or rail, or plank, on which they both rest. It has been found that two conflicting sounds produce silence, as two converging rays of light produce darkness. — Herschel. A Tall Chimney. —The New Eng land Glass Company have commenced laying the foundation for a tall chim ney, which they are about to to build for their glass works in Cambridge, Mass. It is to be about 30 feet square at the base,and carried up to the height of 240 feet, 20 feet higher than the Bunker Hill Monument! Flues under ground are to connect their various fur naces with this chimney, thus making it do all the smoking (?) for their im mense establishment. Coffee for Weak Stomachs. —A correspondent sends the following, be ing the result of experience:—Those who are not able to bear much liquid should adopt the following method: Place a quarter of a pound of ground coffee in a jug, pour a pint of cold spring water theron, and let it stand twenty four hours; then strain off the clear ex tract, which preserve in a well-corked bottle. When y r ou wish for a cup of coffee, boil half-a-pint of milk, to which add a table-spoonful of the cold extract. It will have the same effect as three cups made in the ordinary way, and possess a delightful flavour. Volcanoes. —Vesuvius, the Neapol itan volcano, is yet in its infancy ; it only counts thirty centuries of erup tions. The giant Etna, which has more than four times its elevation, wasted all its destructive force before the historic times of Sicily and of all Europe. This colossal volcano is now declining in its old age, but the time which will elapse until its total extinction, may be as long as the whole of its past existence. One may judge from this fact of the prodigious antiquity of those volcanoes, which formerly burned in France, of which the fires had ceased a long time before the first eruption of Vesuvius. At the period of the entry of the Ro mans among the Gauls they found the lava decomposed and converted into productive soil, covered with dense for ests. — Two Worlds. Suggestions for Safety in Thun der-storms. —Sedulously avoid all con ductors of electricity. Do not shelter under trees nor go near them ; the great majority of accidents arise from want of this precaution. Do not handle or be very close to metallic bodies : a ser vant cleaning a silver fork at a window, during a thunder-storm, the prongs be ing outwards, was struck, but not kill ed ; a young lady during the same storm, sewing near a window, was thrown from her seat and experienced a glow. The centre of a room, if a me tallic lustre is not pendant,is safer than any other part of the apartment. It is not safe to be betweeu the window and door, or fireplace, where there is a cur rent of air. A bed is the securest re treat; so all ye who fear, and fail to de rive pleasure, mingled with awe, in be holding this, the grandest of nature’s meteors, ensconce yourselves within the wollen folds, and, sunk in your downy couch, if ye cannot fall into a gentle slumber, think at least that you enjoy comparative safety. —Dr Thom son's Meteorology. 51 Cnlmntt Frrrtrir In jfmi.

The Stubbounest Animal in the World. —A crowd lounging about a tavern door were busy discussing what animal, of all others, was the most con trary.

Who ever heern tell of a man what had a hill against a ghost ?” “ Nobody.” “ They never has to buy hats and vit tals and liquor, nor has to saw wood and rim arrants as 1 do. Their shirts never gets dirty, nor their trowsers out at the knees, as I ever heerd tell on. — Ghosts is the only independent people 1 knows on. I railly wish 1 was one.” Too Chfap. —“ Three-and-sixpence per gal!” exclaimed Mrs. Partington, on looking over the Price Current. — “ Why, bless me, what is the world coming to, when the gals are valued at only three-and-sixpence!” The old la dy pulled offher spectacles, threw down the paper, and went into a brown study on the want of a proper appreciation of the true value of the feminine gender. llraiiings nt llanitom. It is related that when the British soldiers were about to march out and lay down arms at Yorktown, Wash ington said to the American army, “ My boys, let there he no insults over a conquered foe! When they lay down their arms, don’t huzza! posterity will huzza for you!'’ Nothing is rarer than a solitary lie; lor lies breed like Surinam toads; you cannot tell one, but out it comes with Ia hundred young ones on its back.

Why are young ladies like arrows! 1 Because they are all in a quiver when the beaux come. Why is a talkative young man like a young pig? Because, if he lives, he is very likely to become a great bore. A Dutch householder, bragging of his worldly gear, writes: I’ve got a pig cat, and I’ve got a pig tog, I’ve got a pig calf and I’ve got a pig hog, I’ve got a pig baby so pig and so tall, And I’ve got a pig vise dais pigger as all.

That all genuine packages or boxes of Joseph Gil lott’s Pens have a sac simile of his signature on the reverse side. None other are genuine.
