O, this is the beautiful month of May,
Tin-season of birds and of (lowers;
rite young and the lovely are out and awav,
Mid the up-springing grass and the blossoms
at play;
Anti many a heart will be happy 10-dav,
In this beautiful region of ours,
Sweet April, the frail,the capriciously bl ight,
Hath lassed like the lovely away,
Yet we momn not her absence, for swift as
her flight
Sprang forth her youngsister,an angel of light,
And fair ns a sunbeam that dazzles the sight,
Is beautiful, beautiful Mny.
What scenes of delight, what sweet visions
she brings
Ol freshness, of gladness, tint! mirth,
Os lair sunny glades where the buttercup
springs,
Os cool gushing fountains, of rose-tinted
wings,
Os birds, bees, and blossoms, all beautiful
things,
Whose brightness rejoices the earth.
How fair is the landscape ! o’er hill-top and
glade,
What swift varying colors are rolled—
The shadow now sunshine, the sunshine now
shade ;
Their light-shifting lutes for the green earth
have made
A garment resplendent with dew-gems o'er
laid—
A light-woven tissue of gold !
O yes ! lovely May, the enchantingly fair,
Is here with her beams and iter flowers’,
Their rainbow-like garments the blossoms
now wear,
And nil in lileir health-giving odors may
share,
For the breath of their sweetness is out on
the air,
Those childien of sunbeams and showers.
The fragrant magnolia in loveliness dressed,
The lilac’s more delicate line.
The violet half opening its aznre-hued vest,
Just kissed by a sunbeam, its innocent guest,
The light -floating cltmdsles like spirits at rest,
All pictured in motionless hue—
These brighten the landscape, and softlv un
roll
Their splendors by land and by sea ;
They steal o’er the heart with a magic control,
That lightens the bosom anJ freshens the
soul —
O! this is the charm that enhances the whole,
And makes them so lovely to me.
Row sweet, witen the month's in the flush of
its pi ime,
To hear, as we wander alone,
.Some bird’s sudden song from the sweet
scented lime,
And catch the low gush of its exquisile chime,
And set it to music and turn it to rhyme,
\\ 1 1It a spirit as light as its own.
And sweet to recline ’ueath the emerald
robed trees,
Where fairy-like footsteps have trod.
With the lull of the waters, the hum of the
bees.
Mi lting into the spirit delicious degrees
Os exquisite solim-ss! in moments like these,
I have walked with the angels of God. j
Sweet season of love, when tire fairy queen
trips
At eve through the star-lighted grove,
Wliat vuws are now breathed where it.e hon
ey-bee sips!
What cheeks, whose bright beauties the roses
eclipse,
Are crimsoned with blushes! what rose-tinted
lips
Are moist witli the kisses of love!
Yet, loveliest of months! with die praises I
sing,
Thv gloties are passing away
With tile dew from the blossom, die bird on
the wing,
Yet round thee a garland poetic I fling.
Sweet sister of April! young child of the
spring!
0 beautiful, beautiful May!

All tilings unto mt- show their tiark shies: Somewhere

How cold, how dreary, the day was!
The wind sounded serdv a< it moaned
among the bare branches of the trees, and
died away in distant murmurs. A white
frost had (alien the night tielore and nip
ped leaf and flow ret. The sky looked
like lead, and nnv and then a cloud,
fleecy and white as if laden with snows
drifted in mid air. Blue lipped, shiver
ing little children, w it|i satchels and hooks,
hurried by to school or stopped for a tew
moments at the street corners.
‘I had taken my drawing pencils and
portfolio, and seated myself before the
blazing fire. When the wind rattled the
casement, I drew my viseltc closer about
me, and thanked God for a ‘comfortable
shelter from the inclemency of the north
ern blast. A piece of bristol board was
beneath my pencil. Scene after scene
grew beneath its touches. Rut all was
dreary. A frozen mill, an ice-bound
tree, a snow storm, a man striving to hold
his cloak on in the blast—these were the
prominent features in my pencil sketches,
I could not be cheerful, do what I might.
/ con hi not forget the dreary aspect of
Nature without.
1 threw aside the pencil and wheeled
my chair nearer the fire. The e./nis
gjowed almost fiercely in the grate, and l
began tracing pictures and images among
them.
The door opened and a strong blast
swept through. 1 looked up ami saw a
cloaked figure —a tall, noble and coni
i mantling person. He Abrew a.ide his
traveling cap—unclasped the steel buck
les confining his mantle in (root, and unde
Roger sat down beside me to thaw out
before the genial blaze his stiffened fin
gers.
As he sal tl.pre, his deep olive com
plexion became almost scarlet in line.—
His keen black eye rested musingly upon
the coals. Was he too tracing imagery
among them? 1 1 might lie, but it was not
probable. My unde liaftl little imagina
tion, and was never, to mv knowledge,
fanciful, It was, more probably, that he
was weiuhitig in his mind some East /n
----dia speculation, for all his latter lilt’ had
been spent there. It was to its torrid cli
mate that he owed his nine complexion,
quick flashing eye, ami susceptibility to
cold. The fire was peculiarh agreeable
to him. Witen lie went into the I rig id
atmospheie w iiliooi, Ins broad stoiii per
son shook like an aspen, and lie clasped
ami drew his cloak closer, and still closer
about him. He was a bachelor, one
nearly fifty veins old. Hi- hair was
sprinkled with grey, but it looked hand
some nevertheless; indeed all who looked
upon mv uncle called him even at that
age, a fine looking man. I had often
times puzzle.l my brain to discover why
I he had all Iris lile remained matchless ;
I why one, with his love of social life, af
fectionate di-pnsiltou, and domestic tastes,
hati lived without enjoying life’s great
charm—a home.
But mvsterie-are cnrions ihinus, and
this (act remained a mystery in spite of
all my speculations. I could not fathom
it, but tow a stronger desire seized me
than ever before, t<> know why lie had
never married. As he sat in the light of
the grille, lie looked so statelv, genial,
and handsome, the mystery grew greater
to mv mind than ever, and I dvtermiied
by direct questioning, to find out the se
cret.
‘A cold day, uncle,’ I said hy way of
introduction —‘a cold day, and 7 imagine
you feel it sensibly ; it is not much like
the East /ndia climate.’
‘No,’ said he abruptly, and relapsed
back into the dreamy slate lie had sat in
before.
‘Yon do not like this climate, 1 in ac
me,’ l continued.
‘Not much,” was the laconic an-wer
wrung from him again.
‘But you didm one tune like to live in
your native land.’ I said—‘why did you
in the first place go lo the East Indies,
uncle?’
‘To trade,* said lie, ‘to lu.y and sell
and get gain. That is ntint all ihe wot Id
lives for. Gold is the lever that move
the world’*
’True,’ I Siti I ; ’but von have won
gold ; you are what the world calls licit;
are von happy?’
Hi- brow contracted.
‘Happier ihnn 1 should have been with
out wealth, l presume,* said he. ‘But
perfect happiness is not the lot of mail.*
‘You never had a family, uncle,’ Icon
linnet!, yon have lived alone all y our life.
Why did yon never marry * did you nev
er love?’
A deeper shadow stole to his check—l
saw that 7 had touched upon a tender
point. 7/e did not reply immediately,
hut sat, I imagined half moodily, before
the fire ns still as a statue.
At length he turned abruptly towards
me. ‘Yes I have loved,’ he said, ‘hut it
was, long years ago. The romance of
life is over with me now. The flame has
gone out that passion kindled; there can
scarcely be found one smoldering ember,
that has survived the wrecks of time and
its accompanying sorrows.
‘Tell hip all about it, uncle,’ 7 suit! anx
iously. ‘When was it that you found
your beau ideal —where did you meet with
her? In America or in the East Indies?’
‘lt was long years ago,’ he said, ‘long
before I tveufln the East Indies that 7 first
met with Atlelaid Sullivan.’
‘Was she very beautiful, uncle?’ 7 que
ried. ‘Had she blue eyes, a Grecian nose,
and delicate features? Was she very
lovely?’
‘To me,’ he replied, ‘she yvas ns hpan
liltti as an angel, although you perhaps
might not at first sight have termed her
very fair. She had eyes as blue ns tlm
violets which opened in the spring woods
lips and cheeks that might have stoien
color front I tie n>S’ bud, and a forehead
while as snow. But beautiful as sin was
in person, she was more attractive in
mind. She liar) w it, sprighililies*, intel
ligence. She was gpnlle and refined. To
me she seemed in those days of all her
sex the paragon.’
l A ud still you did no; rnairy her,’ 7
said, ‘wliv was this?’
•Merc ■nary parents slood in the way—
parents who said that something more
than ‘love’ was wanted to commence
housekeeping upon : parents who frowns
ed upon my schemes, until in a fit of pas
sion I vowed to amass gold until their cu
pidity was satisfied, and with ihi- vmv up.
on my lips I bade adieu to yjdelairl, and
sailed for the Indies. For long years 7
toiled unsuccessfully. My head gtew
grey with lime, and thought, anil car*'.
At length the news reached me of Ade
laid’s marriage. From that hour I relin
quished all ideas of ever possessing a
homos my own —of forming the centre
of a domestic citric. 7 amassed gold,
for nequisiti m had grown into a passion
—a habit with me, and it is a passion
with me still. Ju.-l now I was planning
the sale of some ten acre lots on uiv plan
tation. There was not much romance
about tii.it operation you will admit.’
‘No,’ I said thoughtfully, ‘hut wliaf of
Adel ii<l! do you know limbing of her
now? Have you never sought her out
since your return to your native land?’
‘No, not I! Why should I? She is
ihe wile of another, and has forgotten
me. At any rate she lias no business re
membering me; a pretty chap I should
consult ) myself, looking up married wo
men, and reviving old flames. No! no/’
and my uncle shook his In-ad decidedly.
Just then a rougher blast shook the
easements—the day was in Irnili a most
iiieleincnf one. The wind not only shook
the easements, but forced open the door,
my uncle jumped to Itis feet and sprung
to close it inimedinlely. But lie did not
itcctimplisli his design —a weak voice ar
tested hit hand. The figure of it pale,
and half frozen child stood upon the door
steps, as it hesitating whether a welcome
wailed lor him inside or not,
‘Come in hoy! come in!’ said tny uncle
hastily; ‘a dog should not he abroad in
sm'li w t allier—murli less a delicate child.
Com*’ in, and thaw out your stifiened fin
gets.’
Tin boy mounted the threshold, and
loin ted lowauls the fire. He was very
weak, ii might be through hunger; it
might h” through cold perhaps from
both eotnhiued.
I arose an : offered him a low chair hy
the grate. He sunk into it, and ns he fell
ihe genial heal of the room stealing into
his benumbed lc > me, a few tear-drops
rolled down his wan cheek,

that much contact with a rough world
had not entirely dried up the fountains of
sympathy in his heart.
‘Why are you abroad in such rough
weather?’ he asked. ‘Your parents cer
tainly cannot have sent you foitli.’
The child's underlip trembled with e
motion, and tears sprung into his eyes.—
‘My father is dead,’ he said, ‘and my
mother is very ill and destitute of bread.’
•Poor child!’ said my uncle compas
sionately, ‘arid this is the reason why you
are out; you are too fine a little fellow to
be sent on begging expeditions.’
The hoy’s cheek flushed, but it was
with mortified pride and anger.
‘I am not a beggar!’ he said disdain.,
fully— lam not a beggar. I never took
a copper in my life, and never mean to,
without giving something in return. My
mother sent me out this morning to sell
tins, and not to beg.’
As lie spoke lie drew from his pocket
a small roll, /watched and admired the
little fellow as lie untied tiie string, and
unrolled the brown paper that enclosed
his treasure.
7 was surprised when I saw it at last
held up for exhibition. It was a white
satin apron, beautifully painted and trim..
ined; one which must at some time have
belonged to the most honorable of the
fraternity.
My uncle was a brigl t mason; I saw
his eye kindle and his cheek flush at the
sight of the satin texture, now i ff red in
exchange for bread—for the common ne
cessaries of life.
‘To whom did this belong, mv boy?’
said my uncle in n mild voice, ‘was this
your ('ailu-r’s? 1
‘Y es,’ said the child; *my lather i.
often to wear it, and a pretty siglu it was.
Sir, to see him dressed out in hi- beautiful
regalia. My mother hates to part with
it, sir; indeed she lias parted with every
tiling else before slip would pari with this,
Inn site is sit k ami in gn m distress. This
morning site said I must oiler this for
sale, for she cannot hear to sec me beg,
and we have nothing else to sell. A man
up town tt* whom I offered it. told me that
lie was not a mason and had no use for
such regalia, but that if 1 would come
here, perhaps l could sell it. 1 accord
ingly came, and now would you like to
buy it sir?’
•Buy it,’ eried my uncle. ‘No, I would
not buy it for a world, but your mother,
if site is the widow of the man who wore
this, slia 11 never again send you forth oil
such :in errand. I pledge ihe word of a
gentleman and mason. Take your hat,
boy, and show me the way to your resi
dence.’
My unde had taken his cloak and was
already clasping it around bin,.
‘Yon will not go forth surely, uncle, in
such an hour, and with your East India
constitution, to brave this inclement
storm,’ I said rising and standing before
him. ‘Y'ou can send money nr.d relief to
this unfortunate lady without exposing
yourself.’
■1 cannot send,’ lie said implicitly. ‘lf
the w blow and child of a mason can brave
the rigors til the storm, I certainly ,un
not too weak—too effeminate for the task.
Give me my cane and hat.’
I handed them to him, and taking the
child by the hand, lie went forth in the
wind and sleet, for the latter had com.,
mem ed falling. I went lo the window,
and watched them both until they were
out of sight. I fell, ns I saw my uncle’s
stalwart frame braving the inclemency
witlmut, and yielding support to the deli
eate fragile hoy. that he was indeed one
of God’s nnlileiiien, and I mused over
that mysterious organization of men, lo
which lie belonged, and the benevolence
of whose creed had led him forth lo peril
the safety of a constitution, rendered pe
culiui ly sensitive to cold, from a long res
idem e in a foreign dime.
• • * • •
j It was quite dark before my unde re
turned. He cair)£ in, and to my surprise
exhibited no great symptoms of cold; he
leisurely unclasped his cloak, and sat
down to the supper table, which was al
ready spread, without a remark.
I looked into bis face, as I sal down to
turn hi* coffee into the cups, but it was as
itnreadable ns a scratdied and torn page;
I could not unravel his thoughts. He
ws serious without being sad, and gave
brief answers to all my questions.
‘Did you find dial woman in great dis-
Ires-?’ I queried.
• Y)•*,’ said he.
•She urn suffering for all of the neces
•Hiics of life I suppose.*
