TEARS.
BY THE HOW. JUSTICE MELLEN, MAIXE.
Crystals, where are your recesses,
Where the house of your repose,
When the world around caresses,
And the heart no sorrow knows ?
Then, the eye is bright and gleaming
Asa summer’s smiling day ;
Joy and peace may there be beaming,
Bull ur,influenced by your sway.
Why should sudden burst of feeling,
hy should transport flood the eye ?
Why, when from your fountain stealing,
Do ye flaw mid rapture’s sigh ?
Where’s the fi.ui.t, u hence pain and anguish
Call yt fortn for their relief?
Causing agony to languish
Into an d ar.d darkened grief?
Crystal tears, so Ireeiy pouring,
Prompt t'u ir duty to perform.
Toil when gentle gales are blowing
Round :!i- ‘v art, and when the storm ;
Messengers of gladness, rushing,
Bearin’ orders from the heart;
Showt.nn_ checks, in beauty blushing,
Laughing at the painter’s art.
MessengtiJ “ deepest s tow,
From F— f c-w 1 pah; •.
H0,..-tig ■! to-ioorrow,
Whih hop. promises ate vain!
Messengers of tender passim,
Melting empathy ar:d love,
He irts o’er flowing with Compassion.
Warm’d with influence from above.
Mess-.rigors from hearts despairing,
And from Conscience, in alarm;
Its f tiitful catalogue preparing,
And no aid from mortal arm ;
Messengers from hearts repining,
Washing out the stains of sin;
Mercy smiling—Heaven assenting—
Peace around and peace within.

THE NIGHT CF DEATH.
BY G. ZELOTFS ADAMS.
Oh! when in death's dark gath’ricg night,
Earth’s alternating scene s recede ;
When biightesi hopes no mot e are bright,—
And bancs life’s last supporting reed ;
When tearful eyes, the loved—the fend—
Subdued, . k many a question dear,
And sundering chords alone respond—
The brca'liing language of a tear, —
Wiil tl avail the parting soul,
That syren pleasure’s sparkiing bowl,
Through sunny kours lias mantled high,
With phantom jiys of ecstacy ?
That wealth wat round my pathway thrown,
Or 1 have slept n bed of down?
Or toil’d to rt git ter a name.
Upon the d-izzitig scroll of Fame?
Ah, no! but if when Memory
Recalls those ‘.ours forever flown,
I’ve dropt the tear of sympathy,
Or sooth’d". he orphan's plaintive moan
Have laid the oppressive burden down,
When weak tie beggar sought mv door,
Or left Bright ciri it sos rt nown.
To tningi -with the needfulpoor;
Have, eas’d the poignancy of woe,
Or blest, >v hen curst a frowning foe—
In holy prayer the knee oft bent.
Nor precious moments have i.iispent,—
Th*'n in that hour of hope arn) fear, —
Such recollections sv-et t will ehoer,
And Heaven’s own peaceful litlo shed,
Around the mortal’s dying bed.

THE FLIRT.—by miss m. miles.
Q-. 1 Something of a love tale, this?’
A. * A lesson to each flirting Miss.’
‘Ha! Elia Germain, flirting with young
Desmond, as usual,’ exclaimed Frank Living
ston to his friend Fitz&iian, as they entered
ft e public b.tli loom of the small but some
what lashimwW- town of L . ‘ Well!

care, Julian,her soils may he around you be
ll ire you are aware. Surely thero is a faeci
natioi. in her presence?’
‘None for me. Frank; I detest flirt—
and your dark eyed houri’s arrows will f II
harmless to the ground. lam proof against
her wiles.’
‘ Now, Fitzallan, you are a stranger, and
withal a hat-lsoni’e fellow. No flattery in
the case. Suppose you enact the sighing
swain—hover around her —pick up her glove
when she drops it—hand Iter refreshments
with an air of embarrassment —and I will
wager a dolftr she cuts Desmond in less than
an hour. 5
‘ To bestow those practised smiles upon
your humble servant, thank you, it would he
worth trying—but that I see a sweet rrirl by
her side, wiih whose face I am much more
struck than with the brilliant flirt’s.’
‘ Well! all eyes are on us, however ; and
as such exquisites as our honored selves are
not met every day in this delectable place, I
think we may venture to claim partners
amongst the fair bevy. Come. I will intro
duce you.’
Captain Fitznllen, Miss Germain ; Miss
Grey, and I'iia, turned from young Desmond,
who bit his lip, to conceal his vexation, and
gave her band to Julian to lead her to the
dance.
‘ Has your friend a heart, Miss Grey ?’
asked Frank, as he followed them with the
sweet girl, whose character was so opposite.
‘ 1 am in. litted to doubt it sometimes,’ re
plied she laughing. ‘ Site is a strange girl,
wayward and wilful; but nevertheless with
some redeeming qualities.’
‘ Which it would puzzle one to find, I trow.
But see, ti e cotillions are forming.’
Apart from the dancers sat one, upon
whose face beauty had not set her signet.—
She was
1 Not beamlful, save, when the cheek’s warm blush
Gr w ffoq- n? with momentary flu h
Os fee:in<’, which made beauty not to last,
And scarcely felt, so quickly bad it past.’
And neglected and alone, that breathing
scene of mirth and festivity was fraught with j
bitterness So her. Why had she mingled ini
the crowd ? to gratify Adela Grey, at whose J
house site was a guest, and her dark thought-1
ful eye was fixed full upon the face of her!
friend in fund admiration of its exceeding
loveliness. Fitzallan caught the look, and in
an interval Ql’the dance inquired her name.
‘ Therese Malcolm. She is a good soul, I
but is sadly deficient in manner —and her j
face will never recommend her, poor thing, I
for her eyes are the only features that are I
passable. Besides -site never dresses with the ‘
taste of others;’ and Ella Germain turned
away with a sneer on Iter beautiful lip.
• Miss Grey, will you introduce me to your j
friend?’ said Fitzallan, as he saw Adela seat!
herself by Miss Malcolm. The introduction
took place ; Therese’s start of surprise, and j
gratified blush, as he engaged her in an ani-j
mated conversation, was not unnoticed by
him who called them forth. He found that, j
there was a rich gem hidden within the plain j
casket, and her figurative and enthusiastic [
manner of expressing the rich snd poetical’
ideas with which her fair friend was teeming,
was consonant to the taste of the somewhat
romantic Fitzallan.
‘ Captain Fitzallan, do you dance this
(time?’ asked Ella German, who could not
bear that the handsome stranger should pay j
I homage to any save herself, and therefore!
sought his dde.
‘Acs. Miss Germain, with yourself, if you{
W'll do me the honor;’ but ever, whilst he led (
her away there was a sarcastical smile on his 1
handsome lip, well understood by more than .
one present.
‘ Miss Malcolm, ere I receive another invi
tation to dance, wi l ! favor me with your hand
for the next,’ .sniJ Julian, laughingly, as be
1 ag iin placed himself beside her!
Therese danced finely, and Aiieia and Li
vingston enjoyed the vexation under which
Miss Germain was evidenly laboring. She
had determined upon enlisting Fitzallan in
her train, and hardly brooked the unpretend
ing Miss Malcolm as a tival.
L was an army station, and the arri
val of Captain Fitzallan and one or two
brother officers at their head quarters, was
flailed with delight by the coterie of bells,
who so especially esteem the air militaire. —
He was an only son, and his parents were
ranked amongst the wealthy and aristocratic
of Virginia’s proud aristocracy. Generous
and noble, with inflexible principles of honor,
he was alike esteemed and beloved ; and as
Thereee Malcolm looked upon his face, so
brilliant in its dark beauty, she inwardly won
dered that he should have singled out her
from amidst the crowd of gay and beautiful
beings present.
‘ Why, Therese, this ball lias absolutely
transformed you!’ said Desmond, who was
an old and dear friend, as he affectionately
wished her good night. ‘ Your eye is spat k
iing, and your chtek is bright.’
‘ And yours a shade paler, dear Charles,
where ii was wont lobe. Are you not pur
suing a fleeting shadow ? Break this spell,
Charles—site is not worthy that generous
heart.’
‘ Would lhat I could, Therese, hut ’tis now
too late. Wayward as she is, I have cast
my happiness upon a die.’
A week or two passed by, and Fitzallan
was flirting desperately with Ella Germain.
She had rejected Desmond, and in return fbr
his generous affection given him scornful
words and ridicule, that stung hint to the
quick. lie seized her hand ere he left her.
and hoarsely muttered, ‘ Ella, may you one
day feel all you have inflicted on me. Fare
well, forever ft
‘ Miss Grey, to you I wili confess how
much f have beer won by your friends gen
tleness and sweetness of disposition. I know
mv conduct is inconsistent, but do not doubt
me.’
Ella had discarded her host of admirers,
and devoted herself to Julian. With him
she flirted, waltzed and walked ; and the
world ftwgan to imagine there was something
serious in it. v
1 Desmond has gone South,’ said he to her
one day.
‘ Bon voyage.’ she carelessly rep'ied.
‘Can this girl have any feeling,’ thought
he; and his eve turned from her to Therese,
and he felt mat there was beauty that might
well be worshipped—the beauty of character
and the magic of mind. Therese was less
cordial than upon their first acquaintance,
but he knew one little word would recal the
smift s that gave a strange kind of beauty to
her face, when they beamed, relieving its
plainness.
There was a spell to hush the troubled
spirit, in the quiet of the deep green wood
that skirted the town of X.- . Therese
Malcolm wandered there alone, treading
with sad step the forest, path. ‘No! no!’
she exclaimed Passionately, ‘Adela is mis
taken—Julian Fitzall*-'!) coukl not love one
kke me. No! he will single out some beau
tiful being to make the sunlight of his home.
Ella Germain, with her radiant loveliness,
will be to him ‘ the b ight particular star.’ ’
‘ Nay,’ added she, proudly, ‘ I will burst
this thrall. I cannot unsought he won. He
!i>vh hip ri-t TLit !-}\> —thniuih I smile at

which bears on its leaves—so the old legends
say—the words of destiny. I,et me consult
them: ‘He loves me not.’ ‘He loves me.”
‘ Yes!’ a dear voice cried, and her lover
knelt at Margaret’s side.
Therese covered here face in the deepest
confusion as Fitznllen playfully took her hand.
‘Ah! dearest! sltail I consult the flower,
or will a glance at that cheek tell me all I
wish to know. My eve. even word, is fixed
on the ‘ bright particular star.” And he
gently drew away her hands and gazed into
her blushing face. ‘ Just tel! me, Therese,
that its rav shall not he withdrawn !’
‘ Is th s generous, Mr. Fitzallan ?’ and j
again covering her face she burst into tears.
FuzalFn i:t a moment dropped bis playful
manner, and in a tone of deep and manlv
tenderness offered his hand and fortune to
her acceptance.
‘ Nay ! Therese,’ said he, in reply to an ob
servation of hers, ‘ this is worse than foolish.
Must I call in a more powerful auxiliary to
convince-you lhat I sought you for this in
tention. Ask Livingston, ask vour sweet
friend Adela, who has been my confidant
from the first, if i have not loved you lonr
and well?’
‘ But Miss Germain; your attentions to
her ?’
‘ I wished to find if I could not awaken
some pity in her hen rt for Desmond, whom
she has led on till I fear his hrtppiness is
wrecked. This was the sole object of mv
seeming attention to her; but I find her ut
terly heartless. Are you now convinced,
dearest ?’
And slowly did Therese allow herself to be
won into a confession of her own affection—
and ere they left the ‘greenwood bower’ site
had plighted her troth to him with all the de
votion of a woman’s first and grateful love.
Livingston was wedded to Adela Grey,
aud Therese was one of her bridesmaids.—
There was such a look of happiness upon her
face—such a light in her full dark eye—that
even Ella Germain could not but acknovv
j ledge that Ibr once she was handsome.
‘ How well Miss Malcolm looks to-night,’
l said a lady in her hearing.
‘Yes! there seems to have been some
strange nietamorphis,’ said Elia, turning
: quickly round, with Iter accustomed sneer.
‘A melamorphis, indeed!’ exclaimed the
1 gay voice of Livingston, at her elbow ; ‘ that
iof happiness. Don’t you know, Miss Ger
■ main, my t’riend Fitzallan has won her heart,
| and next Tuesday we shall have another
I bonny bridal?’
Ella Germain turned deadly pale. Site
| had cast off Desmond in disdain to win this
! rich and courted stranger—and his parting
| words rung in her ear as she struggled sr.c
----| cessfully to conceal, even from herself, the
bitterness of her disappointment.
Three years in their course had gone hv,
j and Livingston and Adela were upon a visit
to Fitzallan. who had resigned his coramis
j sion and devoted himself to the happiness of
his gifted wife.
‘ Desmond will be here to-morrow,’ ex
’ claimed Therese, looking up from a letter
she was reading—‘ and he says he shall sur
prise us all. He writes tne word he is now
cured of his heart sickness. Are you not
thankful, Julian ?’
‘Yes, dear; I always thought Elia Ger
; main unworthy of him. I shall claim a long
; visit on your account.’
‘Yes, 5 site gaily replied, ‘he was a dear
‘ friend of mine of old. We will prepare him
j a welcome.’
Desmond arrived as the winter day was
, closing in, and to the astonishment of aft.
j brought with him a most beautiful girl,
whom he introduced as his wife.
‘Ah 1 Charles! I do not wonder that that
sweet face should cure you of your penchant
for the brilliant Miss Germain. You are!
happy, then ? that joyous look tells me so.”
‘ Yes, yes, Toerese ! happier than I ever
dreamed of being. Lizzy is all perfection.’
Therese gave a party to the young bride,
and ag’.in Desmond and Ella met. A look
of discontent and irritation was on her
changed face, and as she saw him pass her
without a glance, wiih his sweet wife upon
his arm. ami saw his look of pride and love,
she felt she was punished. A coarse looking
man—ami one who held the magic wand of
wealth —had already called her bntie ; and
as he now sought her side, to lead her to her
carriage, she almost shrunk from his pre
sence. Just at the moment her eye met
Desmond’s. It was his hour of tl iuiitph over

Extraordinary Jingling Adventure. —A few
summ.-is ago, 1 was pursuing toy favorite
amusement, when I met. with the following
ludicr <us incident, over the recital of which I
have/- iuce had many a hearty laugh, in which,
i hat ‘t o doubt, my readers wili join. The
scrr.r my adventure *v- a small Jake in
P*!v ‘lc.'e, beautifully situated at the head
ol a rich wooded glen, and the undulating
bills, which slope- down to the water’s edge,
ate clothed with the noble specimens of the
Scotch fir; the reflection of the jjlofiy trees,
the gray rock, and the purple heather upon
the quiet deep water, gives the picture t ! 1(J I
cast of the most intense solitude, and t j )e !
spirits gradually sink into a state of r e | an _ i
cholv pleasure. It is the recollection <v wan _
drring amid such scenes as this whia, ‘ ro _
duces a sort of mania for fishing, nli'. i we
often see in some anglers, and surely it j, an
excusable one where the imagination cnn
revel on the wonderful and stupendous wo.; (S
of our Creator I was diligently working
the little silvery Lout with which my hook
was baited, when my reflections were dis-
turbed I v a low muttering from the wood
behind me. i had not listened long before
a loud crashing among (he branches warned
me that if was time to cut: and, as a bull is
an ugly customer at ali times, I seized mv rod,
and dashed for the nearest tree, hut a pike at
this moment, not aware of my alarm, follow
ed my example in dashing at my bait. There
was no time to spare, so letting the reel run,
with the atd of a little gymnastics, I estab
lished myself firmly on the first stock of a
stout pine, and viewed, vvi'h great satisfaction,
my savage, blear-eyed fi>e just in time to be
too late; beseemed determined, however, on
a blockade, and kept tearing up the turf, and
butting his broad foretfad against mv house
of iHuge, giving me n good sample of his
bloody intentions. My attention ;vas quick
ly recalled to my aquatic friend, who was
making most wntul depredations on mv line,
which, fortunately, could boast of nearly
ii tree-score yards and ten; be had nearly
run it out, and it was with jov lhat I saw
him throw his huge carcase a couple of fee*
out ol the water, with the view <ff‘ breaking
his bonds by the weight of his fall. I was
prepaied for this ; and, after a few wild and
unruly runs, he became much more tractahle.
It was out of rry power to come to terms
so long as obi horney stood sentrv below, so I
sat very comfortable playingmv fi-di 1 Ai this
part of the lake the water covers a shallow
bank to the depth of a few inches. It was
here, after in vain seeking to ease himself rtf
my steel, he made his last and grand strug
gle for liberty. IT* took a furious dash,
* v n r ’ °”l m!|>d about, anti at length run
himsi jj aground, producing an infernal com
motion in the water, which he lashed into
foam around him. It was not long before the
bull’s fancy was tickled ; and, possibly, rea
soning from mv earnest attention to the mo
tion of the pike, that there existed some con
nexion between us, made furiously at his new
acquaintance. Here commenced one of the
rarest combals that was ever loitght. hut the
knight of the water proved himself more than
a match for his lordly antagonist.
II owever skillful I may he in playing my fish.
I could riot pretend to have any power over
the motions of ihe assailants, but sat almost
splitting with laughter, whilst mv line, which
was immediately broken, was twisted round
the horns and legs nf the bull, who was go
ing right and left into the stranded fish, who
was, not withstanding, scarcely hurt, as nothing
very effectual could be done against his shiny
sides, whilst every now and then lie would
turn to pat his enemy. An opportunity was
not long in occurring, ids long jaws and
hooked teeth were firmly fixed in the nether
lip ol the enraged and terrified animal, who
hounded along the shore, tossing his head,
and using every effort to get rkTof his tor-
mentor; but it was ali in vain, his rearing
ami his rage were equally useless.
I was quickly on terra firma ; leaving my
rod, 1 dashed on in pursuit, in which f was
joined by two herdsmen, with their doers, who
had come up on hearing the noise. What is
coursing, what is fox-hunting, what is any
chase that can be named, in comparison with
the sport we were now engaged in ? ‘l'here
was the bull teuiingon, tail erect, and bel
lowing with pain, and three dogs keeping up
with him and every now and then vendiring
a spring at his nostrils, or at the dead and
torn tish which was stiii appended to him, his
grasp in death as deadly as in life. This,
however, could not last long, and the poor
bull, completely exhausted, sank down van
quished by a dead fish. The dugs were
taken oil him, as likewise the remains of mv
pike, which could not have been hut little
short of twenty pounds, and it was so torn as
to be fit only lor the dogs, who did not, how
ever, seem to relish it. The herdsmen were
much amused with the recital of my adven
ture, and assured me the bull would quickly
recover from the effects of his spree; and
-ocli another I hardly think lie would wish to
be engaged in nggin.
Cure for Rheumatism. —A correspondent
of the Pittsburgh Gazette, who describes
himself as a*m dical practitioner of twenty
years standing, furnishes ttie following highly
valuable, if well founded, information*:
At the aoe of about seventeen, I was first
attacked with the inflammatory rheumatism,
when, alter the prompt use of the lancets’
cathartics, blisters, and diaphoretics, I was
restored. From that period until about
twenty years ago, I had six or seven similar
attacks, generally requiring venesection, pur
gation, blisters, ami diaphoretics, before 1
count recover. In these attacks mv extremi
ties would be so inflamed that I c mid scarcely
btar to be’ touched. Abut the year 1918, ]
had suggested to me ihe use of cotton instead
of the woollen, which I had worn next to the
skin in the form of a shirt and drawers. I
immediately conformed to the suggestion,
aban oried the woollen, have ever since worn
the cotton, and now, fir afoul twenty years,
have never.been confined one day bv the
rheumatism.
My observations also in an extensive prac
tice. have furnished unequivocal confirmation
of ilie facts, that woollen worn next to the sk : n
is utterly incompatible with a rheumatism
constitution, and that cotton is most deei
d<“d.y advantageous. A ladv whom I at
tended during a severe attack of rheuma
:i-m, found, while in a state of convalescence,
that her fingers were becoming rigidly con
tracted, I recommended to her the use of
cation, and now for many years she lias been
iree from ihe complaint. Having had occa
sion, while pursuing my professional avoca
tion m I hiiadelphia, to protect my hands,
when driving n.y gig, against the cold, that
would have rendered them both unpleasant
to myself and unsuited to the wrists of the
pattern, 1 procured the fur lined gloves, but
these I could not endure by reasorfof return
ing rheumatism, and had inv gloves lined
with Canton flannel.
As to the therapeutic principles on which
to account for the salutary effect of the cot
ton dress, we are perhaps not prepared to
give the entire rationale; but one circum-
stance deserves particular notice. When
woollen is worn next the skin, the perspira
tion, not being absotbed by the flannel, be
comes inspissated, and of course obstructs
both sensible and insensible perspiration.

Female Society. — If lie re is any particular
recreation which more than all others tend to
preserve the moral senses from pollution, the
affection from going into decay, to ‘raise the
manners and improve the heart,’it is in the
frequent intercourse with sensible and well
educated females. Ido not mean that these
advantages are to lie sought for or expected
in the crowded hall room or fashionable par
ties. Those are too often the hot beds where
the rank weeds of dissipation shoot up their
deadly luxuriance, and wither the g-'eds of
virtue. It is rather in the exchange of
thought in the hours of social intercourse,
that the influence of woman delights, cheers
and improves. Here there is artificial ex
citement to lend a false glory to her check, or
a deceitful volubility to her longue. I value
far higher one hour passed in the society of
an intelligent, accomplished female, than rill
the giddy scenes of the theatre or the ball
room. I had rather stand in the shadow of
such a woman by moonlight, than promenade
Broadway with the most fashionable belle in
our city.
