The toil is hard that brings him bread; And sometimes he hath scam supply ; When droops awhile his manly head, And glistens his full eye. Yel from the Irial shrinks he nol; For he has youth, and strength, and will; And though his toil is ill repaid. Bends daily to it still. He sometimes murmurs,—^bul his pride Checks each expression at ils birili,— That blessings to his class denied Surround the drones of earlh. He passes, moruj and noon, and night, The homes of luxury and wealth; And glances al their gilded ease His eye will tahe by stealth. And shadows gather on his face. At limes—but instantly depart— He feels such weakness a disgrace Both to his head and heiirl. His calling sometimes lakes him where Wealth, worth, grace, beduty, all unile ; And lovely tones arrest his ear, And lovely looks his sight ;•— And much he thinks—and half he sighs— Yet ere bis welcome work is done. He longs for home, and Mary's eyes, And for his prattling son. His labor hath been light lo-day; And wife and child before him sleep ; .\nd he has pass'd the half-spent night In study close and deep. The lamp burns dim—the fire is low— The book is closed ^-herein he read ; But wildly swell the streams of Thought Its fountain-pages fed. With eyes fixed calmly on the floor. But varying and expressive face. He cons the lesson o'er aud o'er— The history of his race. And much he finds of word and deed. Whose virtue is example now ; But inore that makes his bosoni bleed. And darkens o'er his brow :— The thirst for wealth—the strife for power— The ceaseless struggle for renown— The daring that hath seized a realm, ' Or caught a wavering crown— The manhood that halh lamely bent And fall'n benealh tyrannic sway— The balk'd resistance, that bath lent It darkness to ihe day :— But chiefly this it is thai fills The swelling volume of his mind : The countless wrongs and-crueliies That have oppress'd his kind. And viewing them, upon his brain His own hard struggles darkly throng ; And as he feels iheir weight again, Healso deems of wrong : AVroog to himself, and wrong to all Who bear the burthens he hath borne : " A yoke '." up starting he exclaims. And oh, how^eekly worn !" But as he reads Life's riddle still. He feels, with sudden change of mood, The stern, the indomitable will. That never was subdued. The will, not lo destroy, but build ! Not the blind Might, of old renown, Which took the pillars in its grasp. And shook the temple down— But that whose patient energy Works ever upward, without rest, ¦ Until the pierced and parted sea Rolls from 'its coral breast. In the dim firelight, for a while. His tall form moveth to and fro; Then by the couch ot those ha loves. He slops, and bendelh low. Oh, holy love ! oh, blessed kiss ! Ye ask not splendor—bide nol pow'r— But in B humble home like this. Ye have your triumph hour! Ho sleeps—^but even on his dreams Obtrudes the purpose ot his soul: He wanders where the living streams Ot Knowledge brightly roll; And where men win theit own good ways. Not yield to doubt, or dark despair, In dreams his bounding spirit strays- In dreams he triumphs there. With stronger arm, with mightier heart, Thaii he hath felt or known before, Wheii comes the morrow's hour of toil, He'illeavo his humble door.

MARIA CHILD. It was a blight autumnal day when two boys went forth to gather nuls. One was keen eyed, and self-important in his gait. The other had mild, deep eyes, and his motions were like flowers swaying lo a gentle breeze. Alfred, the keen-eyed, mounted the tree and shook It. '' I should like lo own a dozen such trees," said he, " and have all the nuts to myself.' ' Oh, see how beantifully the setting sun shines slanting through the boughs on the trunk and branches ! It glows likegold !' e.v- olaimed Ernest. ' If the snn were like old Midas, that we readaboufal school, there would be some fun in it,' replied Alfred; 'for if it turned all it touched into real gold I couki peal ofl' the bark and buy a horse with it.' Earnest gazed silently at the golden sea of clouds in the Wesl, and then at the warm gleams it cast on the old Walnut tree. He stood thus but a moment; for his companion aimed a nut at his head, and shouted, ' Make haste to lill the basket, you lazy fellow!' The nuts were soon gathered, and the boys stretched themselves on the grass, talking o- ver school affaire. A flock of birds flew over their head.i towarJs the Souih. ' They are flying away from winter,' .said Ernest. 'How I should like togo wilh ihem where the palms and cocoas giow. See how beautifully they skim along tbe air !' 'I wish I had a gun,'rejoined Alfred; 'I would have some of them for supper.' It was a mild autumn twilight. The cows had gone from the pastures, and all was still, save the monotonous bass of the crickets.— The fitful whistling oflhe boys gradually subsided into dreamy silence. As they lay thus, winking drowsily, Ernest saw a queer little dwarf peeping from under an arching toot of the walnut iree. His little dots of blue eyes looked cold and opaque, as if they were made of turquois. His hanils were like the claws of a biid. But he was surely a gentleman of property and sianding, for his brown velvet vest was embroii'ered with goW and a diamond fastened his hat band. While Ernest wondered who he could be, his atten¬ tion was attracted by a bright little vision ho¬ vering in the air before him. At first he thought it was a large insect, or a small bird; but as it floated ever nearer and nearer, he perceived a lovely liule fase with tender lu. minous eyes. Her lobe seemed like soap- bubbles glancing in the sun, and under her bonnet, made of au inverted white petunia blossom, the little ringlets shone like finest threads of gold. The stamen of a white lily served her for a wand, and sho held it toward him, saying in tone's of soft beseechment, ' Let me touch your eyes.' 'You had better touch my wand. You will find it rauch more to ihe purpose,' croaked the dwarf under the walnut root. ' Look here! would'nt you like lo have this V and he shook a purse full of coins, as he spoke. 'I don't like your cold eyes, and your >kii ' replied Ernest. ' ~ ny fingers,' tn- Pray who are 'My name is Utouch,'answered the gnome; and 1 bring great luck wherever I go.' 'And what is yours, dear, liitle spirit of tho air V asked Ernest. She looked lovingly into his eyes and an¬ swered' ' My name is Touchu. Shall I be your friend for life ?'¦ ' He smiled, and eagerly replied, ' Oh yes! oh yes! Your face is so full of love ar .with the plaintive cadence ofa minor-third. The deep, tender eyes of the man-child filled with tears. " We are not sundered," thonght he. "Surely my heart is in harmony with Natuie; for she responds to my inmost thoDght, as one instrument ribrates ihe tones of anoiher lo- which it is perfectly attuned.-^ Blessed, blessed is Nature in her southing power!" As he spoke, Touchu came float¬ ing on a zephyr, and poured over him the fragrance ot mignonette she had gathered ftom the garden below. At the same hour, Alfred walked in his con- seiratory among gioves of fragrantgeraniums and richly-flowering cactus. He smoked a cigar, and glanced listlessly from his embroid¬ ered slippers to the marble pavement, without taking notice of the costly flowers. The gaid- ner, who was watering a group of Japonicas, remarked, '¦ T.his is a fine specimen that has opened to day. Will you have the goodness to look at it, sir'!" He paused in his walk a moment, and looked at a pure white blossom, with the faintest roseate blush in its centre. " It ought to be handsome," said he. " The price was high enough. But after all the money I have expended, horliculturists de¬ clare that Mr. Duncan's Japonicas excel mine. It's provoking to be out-done.'' The old gnome stood behind one of the plants and shrugged his shoulders, and grinned. With¬ out perceiving his presence, Alfred muttered to himsell, "Utouch promised my flowers should be unequaled in rarity and beauty." " That was last year," croaked a small voice, which he at once recognized. " Last year!" retorted Alfred, mocking his tone. " Am I then to be always toiling after what I never keep ? That's piecious com¬ fort, you provoking imp!" A retreating laugh was heard under the pavement, as the rich man threw his cigar away, exclaiming impatiently. " The devil lake the Japonicas! what do I care'! they're not worlh fretting about." #•»»• ** Weeks passed and brought the retui^iing seventh day of rest. The Utile child vvho made rainbows flicker over the father's poem, lay very ill, and the anxious parents feareci that this beautiful vision of innocence might soon passaway from the earth. The shadows of a Madeira vine now and then waved across the window, and the chamber was filled with the delicate perfume of ils' blossoms. No sound broke the Sabbath stillness, except the little bird in the allhea busb, whose tones were sad as the voice of Memory. The child heard it, and sighed unconsciously, as he put his little feverish hand within his mother's, and said "Please sing me a hymn, dear mother." With a soft clear voice sub¬ dued by her depth of feeling, she sang Schu¬ bert's Ave Maria. Manifold and wonderful are the intertwining influences in the world of spirits ! What was it that touched the lit¬ tle bird's heart, and uttered itself in such plaintive cadences? They made the child sigh for a hymn; and bird and child together woke Schubert's prayerful echoes in the moth¬ er's bosom. And now frora the soul of the composer, in that far off German land, the spirit of devotion comes to the father, wafted on the wings of that beautiful music. Ernest bowed his head reverently, and sank kneeling by the bed-side. While he listened thus, 'i'ouchu glided softly into his bosom and laitl her wand upon his heart. When the sweet, beseeching melody had ceased, Ernest prese- :he hand of the singer to his lips, and remain¬ ed awhile in silence. Then the slrong neces¬ sity of supplication came over him, and he poured forth an earnest prayer. With fervid eloquence, he implored for themselves an humble and resigned spirit, and for their little one, that living or dying, good angels might ever carry hira in their protecting arms. As they rose up, his wife leaned her head upon hlB shoulder, and with tearful eyes whiapRred- •' God help us, ihis and every day. To live more nearly as we jJray.-' That same morning Alfred rode to church in his carriage, and a servant waited wilh the horses till he had performed his periodical cu 1,. „ i„ 1 r 11 I .

Neverthe¬ less, Ulouph whispered to Alfred that the crit¬ ic was the man lo inform him wheiher he ought lo be delighted with the music, or not. So at the close of the Symphony he spoke to him, and took occasion to say—' I invited a French amateur to come here thia evening, in hopes he would receive a favorable impression ofthe slale of Music in America. You are an excellent judge of such matters. Do you think he will be satisfied wilh the perlor- mance?' 'He may be pleased, Sir, but not satisfied,' replied the critic. ' I'he composition is a very fine one but he has doubtless heard it in Paris; and until you have heard a French orchestra, Sir, you can have no conception of Music.— Their accuracy in ihylhmical time amounts 10 absolute perfection.' 'And do you think Ihe orchestra have play¬ ed well to-night ?' "Tolerably well, Sir. But in the Cradle Song, the clarinet lagged a little once or twice; and the efleol oflhe Serenade was injured be¬ cause the violoncello wastune.l one-sixteenth ofa note loo low." Alfred bowed, and went away cungialula- ling himself that he had not been more de¬ lighted than was proper. The alleged impossibility of having any con¬ ception of music unless he went to Europe, renewed a wish he had long indulged. He closetl his magnificent house, and went forlh tomake the fashionable tour. Ernest was a painter, as well as poet; and it chanced that they met in Italy. Alfred seemed glad lo see the friend of his childhod; but he soon turned from cheerful things, to tell how vexed he was abont a statue he had purchased. 'I gave a great price for it,' said he, thinking it was a real antique; but good judges now as¬ sure me that it is a modern work. It is so annoying to waste one's money !', 'But if it be really beautiful, and pleases you, the money is not wasted,' replied Ernest; 'though it certainly is not agreeable to be cheated. Look at this ivory head to my cane! It is a bust of Hebe which I bought fora trifle yesterday. Bnt small as the market value, its beauty is a perpetual delight lo me. If il be not an antique, it deserves to be. It Irou bles me that t cannot find the artisl and pay him more than I gave. Perhaps he is poor, and has not yet made a name foe himself, but whoever he may be. a spark of the divine fire is certainly m him. Observe the beautiful swell ofthe breast and the graceful turn oflhe head!" "Yes, it is a pretty thing," rejoined Alfred, half contemptuously. "But I am too much vexed with that knave who sold me the stat¬ ue, to go into raptures about the head of a cane, just now. What makes it more provo¬ king is that Mr. Duncan did purchase a real antique last year, for less money than I threw away on this rnodern thing." Having in vain tried to impart his own sun¬ ny humor, Ernest bade him adieu, and return¬ ed to his humble lodgings, out of the city.— As he lingered in the orange groves, listening to the nightingales, he thought-to himself, 'I wish that charming little fairy who came lo me in my boyish dream, would touch Alfred wilh her wand; for the purse the old gnome gave him seems to bring him little joy.' He happened to look up at the moment, and there close by his hand, was Touchu balancing her¬ self tip-toe on an orange bud. She had the same luminous, loving eyes, the same prismat¬ ic robe, and the same sunny gleam on her hair. She smiled as she said, ' Then you do AUCTION!

The air became redolent with delicate perfume, like fragrant violets kissed by the soft South wind. A rainbow arched the hea,ven8, and reflected its beautifnl image on a minor of mist.

Then he felt himself falling through the air, and all at once he was on the ground. Birds, flowers, rainbow, all were gone. Twiliglil had deepened into a dreary evening; winds sighed ihrongh ihe trees,and the crickets kept up their mnurnful creaking tones. Ernest was afraid lo be alone.

Gorgeous in crimson mantle, with a topaz glory round his head, shone the meek son of Joseph the carpenter, and his humble fishermen of Galilee were re¬ fulgent in robes of purple and gold. The fine haze of dust on which the sunbeams fell, gleamed wilh a quivering prismatic reflection of their splendor. From the choir descended the heavenly tones of Schubert's Ave Maria. They flowed into Alfred's ear, but no Touchu was with him to lay her wand upon his heart. To a visiter, who sat in his chushioned pew, he whispered that they paid the highest price for their music, and had the best that money could command. The Sermon urged the necessity of providing some religious instruc¬ tion for the Poor, for olherwise there could be no security to property against robbery and fire. Alfred resolved within himself to gel up a subscription immediately for that pur¬ pose, and to give twice as rauch as Mr. Dun¬ can, whatever the sum might be. Utouch, who had seotelly suggested the thing to him, turned somersets on the gilded prayer book, and twisted diabolical grimaces. But Alfred did not see him; nor did he hear a laugh un¬ der the carriage when, as they rolled home, he said to his wife—' My dear, why did n't you wear your embroidered crape shawl! I told you we wern to have straiigere in Ihe pew. In so handsome a church, people ex¬ pect to see the congregation elegantly dress¬ ed, you know.' But though Ulouch was a mocking spifit, Alfred could not complain ihat he had been untrue to his bargain. He had promised to bestow anyihing fie craved from his kingdom of the outward. He had asked for honor in the Church, influence on 'Change, a rich, handsome wife, and superb horses. He had them all. Whose fault was it that he was RICHARD R.

'The day is pasi;—the quiet night
Toward its mid-hour weareili on ; His work shop has been closed for hours—
A good day's labor done. The toil is hard that brings him bread;
And sometimes he hath scam supply ; When droops awhile his manly head,
And glistens his full eye. Yel from the Irial shrinks he nol;
For he has youth, and strength, and will; And though his toil is ill repaid.
Bends daily to it still. He sometimes murmurs,—^bul his pride
Checks each expression at ils birili,— That blessings to his class denied Surround the drones of earlh. He passes, moruj and noon, and night,
The homes of luxury and wealth; And glances al their gilded ease
His eye will tahe by stealth. And shadows gather on his face.
At limes—but instantly depart— He feels such weakness a disgrace
Both to his head and heiirl. His calling sometimes lakes him where
Wealth, worth, grace, beduty, all unile ; And lovely tones arrest his ear, And lovely looks his sight ;•— And much he thinks—and half he sighs—
Yet ere bis welcome work is done. He longs for home, and Mary's eyes,
And for his prattling son. His labor hath been light lo-day;
And wife and child before him sleep ; .\nd he has pass'd the half-spent night
In study close and deep. The lamp burns dim—the fire is low— The book is closed ^-herein he read ; But wildly swell the streams of Thought
Its fountain-pages fed. With eyes fixed calmly on the floor. But varying and expressive face. He cons the lesson o'er aud o'er—
The history of his race. And much he finds of word and deed.
Whose virtue is example now ; But inore that makes his bosoni bleed.
And darkens o'er his brow :— The thirst for wealth—the strife for power—
The ceaseless struggle for renown— The daring that hath seized a realm, ' Or caught a wavering crown— The manhood that halh lamely bent
And fall'n benealh tyrannic sway— The balk'd resistance, that bath lent
It darkness to ihe day :— But chiefly this it is thai fills
The swelling volume of his mind : The countless wrongs and-crueliies
That have oppress'd his kind. And viewing them, upon his brain
His own hard struggles darkly throng ; And as he feels iheir weight again,
Healso deems of wrong : AVroog to himself, and wrong to all
Who bear the burthens he hath borne : " A yoke '." up starting he exclaims.
And oh, how^eekly worn !" But as he reads Life's riddle still.
He feels, with sudden change of mood, The stern, the indomitable will.
That never was subdued. The will, not lo destroy, but build !
Not the blind Might, of old renown, Which took the pillars in its grasp.
And shook the temple down— But that whose patient energy
Works ever upward, without rest, ¦ Until the pierced and parted sea Rolls from 'its coral breast. In the dim firelight, for a while.
His tall form moveth to and fro; Then by the couch ot those ha loves.
He slops, and bendelh low. Oh, holy love ! oh, blessed kiss !
Ye ask not splendor—bide nol pow'r— But in B humble home like this. Ye have your triumph hour! Ho sleeps—^but even on his dreams
Obtrudes the purpose ot his soul: He wanders where the living streams
Ot Knowledge brightly roll; And where men win theit own good ways.
Not yield to doubt, or dark despair, In dreams his bounding spirit strays-
In dreams he triumphs there. With stronger arm, with mightier heart,
Thaii he hath felt or known before, Wheii comes the morrow's hour of toil,
He'illeavo his humble door. No wavering hence he'll know—no resl—
Untilthe -new-seen goal be won; But firm, arid calm, and self-posiessed.
Bear resolutely on. And this it is, that year by year,

UTOUCH AND TOUCHU.
BY L. MARIA CHILD.
It was a blight autumnal day when two boys went forth to gather nuls. One was keen eyed, and self-important in his gait. The other had mild, deep eyes, and his motions were like flowers swaying lo a gentle breeze. Alfred, the keen-eyed, mounted the tree and shook It. '' I should like lo own a dozen such trees," said he, " and have all the nuts to myself.'
' Oh, see how beantifully the setting sun shines slanting through the boughs on the trunk and branches ! It glows likegold !' e.v- olaimed Ernest.
' If the snn were like old Midas, that we readaboufal school, there would be some fun in it,' replied Alfred; 'for if it turned all it touched into real gold I couki peal ofl' the bark and buy a horse with it.'
Earnest gazed silently at the golden sea of clouds in the Wesl, and then at the warm gleams it cast on the old Walnut tree. He stood thus but a moment; for his companion aimed a nut at his head, and shouted, ' Make haste to lill the basket, you lazy fellow!'
The nuts were soon gathered, and the boys stretched themselves on the grass, talking o- ver school affaire. A flock of birds flew over their head.i towarJs the Souih. ' They are flying away from winter,' .said Ernest. 'How I should like togo wilh ihem where the palms and cocoas giow. See how beautifully they skim along tbe air !'
'I wish I had a gun,'rejoined Alfred; 'I would have some of them for supper.'
It was a mild autumn twilight. The cows had gone from the pastures, and all was still, save the monotonous bass of the crickets.— The fitful whistling oflhe boys gradually subsided into dreamy silence. As they lay thus, winking drowsily, Ernest saw a queer little dwarf peeping from under an arching toot of the walnut iree. His little dots of blue eyes looked cold and opaque, as if they were made of turquois. His hanils were like the claws of a biid. But he was surely a gentleman of property and sianding, for his brown velvet vest was embroii'ered with goW and a diamond fastened his hat band. While Ernest wondered who he could be, his atten¬ tion was attracted by a bright little vision ho¬ vering in the air before him. At first he thought it was a large insect, or a small bird; but as it floated ever nearer and nearer, he perceived a lovely liule fase with tender lu. minous eyes. Her lobe seemed like soap- bubbles glancing in the sun, and under her bonnet, made of au inverted white petunia blossom, the little ringlets shone like finest threads of gold. The stamen of a white lily served her for a wand, and sho held it toward him, saying in tone's of soft beseechment, ' Let me touch your eyes.'
'You had better touch my wand. You will find it rauch more to ihe purpose,' croaked the dwarf under the walnut root. ' Look here! would'nt you like lo have this V and he shook a purse full of coins, as he spoke.
'I don't like your cold eyes, and your >kii ' replied Ernest. ' ~
ny fingers,'
tn- Pray who are
'My name is Utouch,'answered the gnome; and 1 bring great luck wherever I go.'
'And what is yours, dear, liitle spirit of tho air V asked Ernest.
She looked lovingly into his eyes and an¬ swered' ' My name is Touchu. Shall I be your friend for life ?'¦
' He smiled, and eagerly replied, ' Oh yes! oh yes! Your face is so full of love
ar .with the plaintive cadence ofa minor-third. The deep, tender eyes of the man-child filled with tears. " We are not sundered," thonght he. "Surely my heart is in harmony with Natuie; for she responds to my inmost thoDght, as one instrument ribrates ihe tones of anoiher lo- which it is perfectly attuned.-^ Blessed, blessed is Nature in her southing power!" As he spoke, Touchu came float¬ ing on a zephyr, and poured over him the fragrance ot mignonette she had gathered ftom the garden below.
At the same hour, Alfred walked in his con- seiratory among gioves of fragrantgeraniums and richly-flowering cactus. He smoked a cigar, and glanced listlessly from his embroid¬ ered slippers to the marble pavement, without taking notice of the costly flowers. The gaid- ner, who was watering a group of Japonicas, remarked, '¦ T.his is a fine specimen that has opened to day. Will you have the goodness to look at it, sir'!" He paused in his walk a moment, and looked at a pure white blossom, with the faintest roseate blush in its centre. " It ought to be handsome," said he. " The price was high enough. But after all the money I have expended, horliculturists de¬ clare that Mr. Duncan's Japonicas excel mine. It's provoking to be out-done.'' The old gnome stood behind one of the plants and shrugged his shoulders, and grinned. With¬ out perceiving his presence, Alfred muttered to himsell, "Utouch promised my flowers should be unequaled in rarity and beauty."
" That was last year," croaked a small voice, which he at once recognized.
" Last year!" retorted Alfred, mocking his tone. " Am I then to be always toiling after what I never keep ? That's piecious com¬ fort, you provoking imp!"
A retreating laugh was heard under the pavement, as the rich man threw his cigar away, exclaiming impatiently. " The devil lake the Japonicas! what do I care'! they're not worlh fretting about."

Weeks passed and brought the retui^iing seventh day of rest. The Utile child vvho made rainbows flicker over the father's poem, lay very ill, and the anxious parents feareci that this beautiful vision of innocence might soon passaway from the earth. The shadows of a Madeira vine now and then waved across the window, and the chamber was filled with the delicate perfume of ils' blossoms. No sound broke the Sabbath stillness, except the little bird in the allhea busb, whose tones were sad as the voice of Memory. The child heard it, and sighed unconsciously, as he put his little feverish hand within his mother's, and said "Please sing me a hymn, dear mother." With a soft clear voice sub¬ dued by her depth of feeling, she sang Schu¬ bert's Ave Maria. Manifold and wonderful are the intertwining influences in the world of spirits ! What was it that touched the lit¬ tle bird's heart, and uttered itself in such plaintive cadences? They made the child sigh for a hymn; and bird and child together woke Schubert's prayerful echoes in the moth¬ er's bosom. And now frora the soul of the composer, in that far off German land, the spirit of devotion comes to the father, wafted on the wings of that beautiful music. Ernest bowed his head reverently, and sank kneeling by the bed-side. While he listened thus, 'i'ouchu glided softly into his bosom and laitl her wand upon his heart. When the sweet, beseeching melody had ceased, Ernest prese- :he hand of the singer to his lips, and remain¬ ed awhile in silence. Then the slrong neces¬ sity of supplication came over him, and he poured forth an earnest prayer. With fervid eloquence, he implored for themselves an humble and resigned spirit, and for their little one, that living or dying, good angels might ever carry hira in their protecting arms. As they rose up, his wife leaned her head upon hlB shoulder, and with tearful eyes whiapRred-
•' God help us, ihis and every day. To live more nearly as we jJray.-'
That same morning Alfred rode to church
in his carriage, and a servant waited wilh the
horses till he had performed his periodical

How can he, be charmed by the me- lodrous flow of the verse, while he is dotting an i, or looking out for an inverted s7 The critic seemed less attentive to his business than the proof-reader; for he was looking round ami whispering, appatently unconscious that sweet sounds fifled the air. Neverthe¬ less, Ulouph whispered to Alfred that the crit¬ ic was the man lo inform him wheiher he ought lo be delighted with the music, or not. So at the close of the Symphony he spoke to him, and took occasion to say—' I invited a French amateur to come here thia evening, in hopes he would receive a favorable impression ofthe slale of Music in America. You are an excellent judge of such matters. Do you think he will be satisfied wilh the perlor- mance?'
'He may be pleased, Sir, but not satisfied,' replied the critic. ' I'he composition is a very fine one but he has doubtless heard it in Paris; and until you have heard a French orchestra, Sir, you can have no conception of Music.— Their accuracy in ihylhmical time amounts 10 absolute perfection.'
'And do you think Ihe orchestra have play¬ ed well to-night ?'
"Tolerably well, Sir. But in the Cradle Song, the clarinet lagged a little once or twice; and the efleol oflhe Serenade was injured be¬ cause the violoncello wastune.l one-sixteenth ofa note loo low."
Alfred bowed, and went away cungialula- ling himself that he had not been more de¬ lighted than was proper.
The alleged impossibility of having any con¬ ception of music unless he went to Europe, renewed a wish he had long indulged. He closetl his magnificent house, and went forlh tomake the fashionable tour. Ernest was a painter, as well as poet; and it chanced that they met in Italy. Alfred seemed glad lo see the friend of his childhod; but he soon turned from cheerful things, to tell how vexed he was abont a statue he had purchased. 'I gave a great price for it,' said he, thinking it was a real antique; but good judges now as¬ sure me that it is a modern work. It is so annoying to waste one's money !',
'But if it be really beautiful, and pleases you, the money is not wasted,' replied Ernest; 'though it certainly is not agreeable to be cheated. Look at this ivory head to my cane! It is a bust of Hebe which I bought fora trifle yesterday. Bnt small as the market value, its beauty is a perpetual delight lo me. If il be not an antique, it deserves to be. It Irou bles me that t cannot find the artisl and pay him more than I gave. Perhaps he is poor, and has not yet made a name foe himself, but whoever he may be. a spark of the divine fire is certainly m him. Observe the beautiful swell ofthe breast and the graceful turn oflhe head!"
"Yes, it is a pretty thing," rejoined Alfred, half contemptuously. "But I am too much vexed with that knave who sold me the stat¬ ue, to go into raptures about the head of a cane, just now. What makes it more provo¬ king is that Mr. Duncan did purchase a real antique last year, for less money than I threw away on this rnodern thing."
Having in vain tried to impart his own sun¬ ny humor, Ernest bade him adieu, and return¬ ed to his humble lodgings, out of the city.— As he lingered in the orange groves, listening to the nightingales, he thought-to himself, 'I wish that charming little fairy who came lo me in my boyish dream, would touch Alfred wilh her wand; for the purse the old gnome gave him seems to bring him little joy.' He happened to look up at the moment, and there close by his hand, was Touchu balancing her¬ self tip-toe on an orange bud. She had the same luminous, loving eyes, the same prismat¬ ic robe, and the same sunny gleam on her hair. She smiled as she said, ' Then you do

A rainbow arched the hea,ven8, and reflected its beautifnl image on a minor of mist. The old tree reached forlh friendly arms, and cradled the sunbeams on its bosom. Flowers seem¬ ed to nod and sin-tle, as if they knew him ve¬ ry well, and the little birds sang into his in¬ most soul. Presenlly, lie felt that he was rising slowly and undulating gti the air like a winged seed when it is breathed upon; and away he sailed on fleecy clouds- under the arch of the rainbow. A mocking laugh rous¬ ed him from his trance, and he heard Utouch, the gnome, exclaim jeeringly, " There he goes in one of his alr-castle, on a .voyage to the moon !' Then he felt himself falling through the air, and all at once he was on the ground. Birds, flowers, rainbow, all were gone. Twiliglil had deepened into a dreary evening; winds sighed ihrongh ihe trees,and the crickets kept up their mnurnful creaking tones. Ernest was afraid lo be alone. He felt round lor his companion, and shook him by the arm, exclaiming, ' Alfred! Alfred, wake up! 1 have had a wonderful fine dream here on Ihe grass.'
'So have I,' replied Alfred, rubbinghis eyes. ' Why need you wake rae just as the old fel¬ low was dropping a purse full of money into my hand !' 'What old fellow?' inquired Krnest. ' He called himself Ulouch,' answered Al¬ fred; 'and he promised to be my constant companion. I hope he will keep his word ; for I like an old chap that drops a purse of gold into your hand when you ask for it.'
' Why I dreamed of that same fellow,' said Ernest, ' bnt I did'nt like his looks.'
'Perhaps he did'nt show you the full purse? said Alfred.
'Yes he did,' replied Ernest; ' but I felt such love for the little fairy with tender eyes

'Oh, no indeed,'replied he. 'Thoii hast been the brightest blessing of my life.'

peacock's plumage. Gorgeous in crimson mantle, with a topaz glory round his head, shone the meek son of Joseph the carpenter, and his humble fishermen of Galilee were re¬ fulgent in robes of purple and gold. The fine haze of dust on which the sunbeams fell, gleamed wilh a quivering prismatic reflection of their splendor. From the choir descended the heavenly tones of Schubert's Ave Maria. They flowed into Alfred's ear, but no Touchu was with him to lay her wand upon his heart. To a visiter, who sat in his chushioned pew, he whispered that they paid the highest price for their music, and had the best that money could command. The Sermon urged the necessity of providing some religious instruc¬ tion for the Poor, for olherwise there could be no security to property against robbery and fire. Alfred resolved within himself to gel up a subscription immediately for that pur¬ pose, and to give twice as rauch as Mr. Dun¬ can, whatever the sum might be. Utouch, who had seotelly suggested the thing to him, turned somersets on the gilded prayer book, and twisted diabolical grimaces. But Alfred did not see him; nor did he hear a laugh un¬ der the carriage when, as they rolled home, he said to his wife—' My dear, why did n't you wear your embroidered crape shawl! I told you we wern to have straiigere in Ihe pew. In so handsome a church, people ex¬ pect to see the congregation elegantly dress¬ ed, you know.'
But though Ulouch was a mocking spifit, Alfred could not complain ihat he had been untrue to his bargain. He had promised to bestow anyihing fie craved from his kingdom of the outward. He had asked for honor in the Church, influence on 'Change, a rich, handsome wife, and superb horses. He had them all. Whose fault was it that he was
