And the swallow Bleeps in t'oo caves, And the night wind ia niurmuriag secrets
A part to tho listening leaves ; Thon I open tho inner chamber
That was closed fram tho dust of daj, Asd gontly undraw tho curtain
Whore ray holiest treasures lay.
Sweet spirits that may not slumber ;
Cool shadows from lights now gone; Aad the echo of voices sounding,
All sounding for me alone. Aad, blending among tho other:*.
One echo is softer jct; One shadow is cooler, dotpcr.
And my dimming eyes grow wet,
Por tho imago I gaze on longest
If the image that blessed my youth ; The ingel that lit my journey
With her lamp of lovo and truth. Wo traveled life's way together
A Utile while sido by sido ; And when i grew faict and weary,
Tbat light was my etrcngth and guids.
And dearer it grevr—how dearer 1
Till I watched it wane and fade; And my angel said as wc patted—
Be patient, be not afraid. And when I am sick and weary
With thaheatand tho dust of lho day. How tho eense ofher words comea o'er me—
Her words ero sho went away.

RET'S
CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
" There! and while wa are bo cosy and comfortable orer our tea, poor Mr. Maiden ia oat in that cold office over those nasty ledgers, without a mouthful, and likely to be there bours for all I know; and ho'.? not strong, I'm sure. N»llie, I moan to go right out and ask him in."
If Ket had never said thia, our story might never have been written, for, as she turned her bright eyes upon her sister's face, she saw carnation tints bathe her brow and cheek and chin, and saw tbe bo¬ som under the dove tinted dreas rise and flatter, and knew at once, with womanly intuition, what theso signs meant. She paused a moment, thinking of her own discovery, and pain and pleasure wavered in the balance far that brief space of time Tho next iastant she had decided that sho was pleased, and her round face beamed with smiles again. "It must have been somebody sometimes," she said, "and I'm glad it's him insteadof any body else." And sho gave me one littlo half-hysterical laugh, turned her back to put another spoonful of Young Uyson in¬ to the teapot, and began ag,iin, as though the sentence had not been interrupted— " I say, Nellie, I'm going to aak Jlr. Maiden in to tea."
Kellie found the voice by this time.— "What will father say?" she half .whis¬ pered.
" I believe you think father is a heath¬ en," cried Ket. " 1 absolutely believe you tbink our dear father is a barbarian."
"Oh, no, indeed," pleaded Nellie.— "Butyou know, Rst, just .is well as I do, how particular father is about some things, snd I'm sure I shouldn't venture on suoh a st»p: not but that I'm glad you dare, Ket, and I hope you won't bo stopped by anything I have said." And Nellie grew crimson again, and would not meet her sister's eyes.
* As if I ever minded i/ou," said Ket.— " As if minding you, who don't exactly know your 3wn mind, wouldn't be tha most idiotic thing in the world. Father would feel grieved to think that any one lost comfort in his service."
" I'm sure of that, Ret," replied Nellie. " Father would say, *Send theyoung man some refreshments.'   But asking hira in—
a clerk, you know, and "
"Oh, if yoM objeot," said Ret, demurely "You know I don't," answered Nellie. " But, Ret, I understand farther, and I hope I understand my duty; and you'll say Ihis of me, I trust, after I'm gone, »nd I alwaya try to oljey farther even when itwas tbe hardest. 'Write this upon my tomb-stone, 'She was impulsive and wrong headed, butshe always minded'— in better language, of course—and I'm con¬ tent."
" When do you mean to die ?" asked Ret.
"Oh, Het, that's almost wicked, indeed
it is.   But I'm sure I shouldn't mind an
oarly death.   There isn't a great deal  in
this world to live for, except one's duty."
Nellie said this if a dreary  sort of a 1
^     tone, and shook her head wisely.
" Very well," said Ret, "and all this iime Mr. Maiden has had no tea."
No two women were ever outwardly in greater contrast to eaoh other than Hen. rietta and Ellen Anderson. The first was forty, the latter twenty. The first alwaya styled " Ret" by every one who knew her was very short and very fat, with glitter¬ ing, black eyea and kinky black hair, hands that were all dimples, and no per¬ ceptible waiat. When dreased according to her own taste, she won all the hues of the rainbow at once, flounced to her waist—had ruffles on her sleeves and quil" lings on Jier boddice, and, at times, man¬ aged to make of her little person a bright colored ball, not unlike one of those gutta petoha women in the toy shops, who. thrown whichever w«y they may be, always come down feet first, and fall to rooking- A brisk Uttle manager, too, who saw to •T«rything, settled with tha tradesman, t tad-Mt the servants to order, u she faad fT*r doM* ^C( b«r aothtr"! dMth-.u
odd, !-oom&rtabie sort I'of little' 'wcimapi who,;old maid though she was, .neVer would be old in reality.
Nellie, on the contrary was tall,aind slendor, fair of jkin,Bndwith.«yesotbaby blue—roses came and went-upon h?r cheeks.' Her teeth wero pearly, and her hair pale brown, with a touch of gold in ' the sunlight. A moonlight aort of beauty •lovely enough to inspire a poet. Very timid, nothing of a manager, with a strong sense of right and wrong, and a great many romantic fancies, Loving and du¬ tiful by naturo, a darling littla woman as ever walked this earth, but by no means self reliant. Old Mr. Anderson was proud of this fair daughter, butin cases of emer¬ gency went to Ret.
Fanny little Ret. This night sho wore a pea-green merine dress, a jacket of scar¬ let hue, and a blue head-dress, and looked like some Dutch doll as she left the room, and trotted along the narrow carpeted passage which connected the dweUing with tho counting-house. For old Mr. Anderson, rich as he was, had not forsa¬ ken tho lower part of the city, but lived in a groat gloomy house, with carved mantles and massive doors, which stood b.ick to baok with his place of business, and scowled upon the altered street like somo unsettled old Philadelphia aristocrat besieged by plebeians. Across this pas- sago, which great storerooms lay, Ket An¬ derson tottled, and, coming at Irst to its end, opened a door and stood within tho private offico ot Anderson & Co.—the sano' turn, on the outer doorof which was pos ted the notico, " No admittance except by invitation."
A jet of gas was turned on here, and under it hastily writing, sat a young gentle¬ man. He had a strange, sensitive, beau¬ tiful face, exquisite hands, and a figure which looked graceful as it bent over tbe table, and his eye, when it turned upon Miss Ret, was of a velvety brown, softand sparkling as the stars upon a frosty night- "Good evening,Mr. Maiden." " Good evening. Miss Anderson," and he paused and looked an inquiry.
'• Setting Couain Bertie's mistakes right, I suppose, Mr. Maiden."
" Y'fs!" ho laughed, and lifted his head wearily. " I fancy Mr. Anderson will never make an accountant of Master Ber' tie."
"Nor anything else," Ket answered, curtly. " And I can't see wby you should fog for him.. Put tho book down, and come and take tea with us, will you 1"
Henry Maiden's face flushed as Nellie's had ten minutes before, and Het watchiad him also.
With myself and sister, I mean," she said. " Come; you'll be here an honr or two, and then it will take another to get to your boarding-house, and you'll starve by that timo if you are like me. Doh't say no, but eomo along." And the fat litlle hands shut the ledger in away which defied resistance.
Perhaps the young clerk had no wish to resist, With some polite common place remark of acceptance, he arose and followed Ket out into the passage; and, as he did so, you would have seen, had you been there, that he was lame. That was the meaning";of the sensitive expres¬ sion on bis handsome face. He was no lamer than Lord Byron, and no more dis¬ figured by tho defect. But Lord Byron's whole life was embittered by that broken anklo of his, whioh he could not forget for a moment, though so conscious of his tal¬ ent and beauty and power of fascination. And this young clerk, who did not know tbat he had a handsome faco, had the samo morbid sensitiveness. It made him feel glad that fat, good-natured, forty-year old Mias Ret walked on before bia.
Nellie sat near the table, and bent her head in conscious welcome. Her cheeks were very red, but that may have been tho fire. Ret said it was ao, and made her sit upon the opposite side ofthe table. "And help Mr. Maiden to everything do," sho continued, "for I have my hands full with tbe teapot."
So tho conversation began by passing of bread and butter, and headcheese and jam, and honey and crisp cruillers. And blue eyes and brown eyes met, and hands nearly touched. The ice was broken and the two began to lalk. After awhile Ret grew silent, and listened. They had read the same books, they loved the same mu¬ sic. They warmed with their subjects, and grew merry and eloquent and poeti¬ cal, and Ret said to herself, "Just suited to each other." Over the tea pot unseen, she nodded her wise Uttle head, and be¬ gan to plot like a very innocent Gay Faw- kea.
It was the beginning of December. Christmas time waa rapidly drawing near. Already Ret had began to hide mysteri- oas worsted in table drawers at thesound of approaching footsteps, and to have whispering interviews with people with bundles in the hall. What she was think¬ ing of I do not know, butshe said to her¬ self or the tea-pot, "Only a fortnight. It's a short time, but I fancy I can do it.— Stranger things have been done in fewer days." .\nd as she thus thought, the bronze blacksmith on the mantle brought his hammer down upon the anvil, and tho hands upon the clock face below pointed to the hour of eight. Uenry Maiden arose. "Much as I am enjoying myself," he said, "I must not forget my task nor fail to remember that I am clerk in the coun¬ ting-house of Anderson & Co."
He uttered the words in a light, jesting tone' but his faco gave the lie to his ac¬ cent, and tho sensitive flush was upon it again, as he bowed at the door and turned to take his w.ay along the carpeted passage to the ofllce.
"We shall be happy to see you here again," quoth Ret, but Neilie never said a word; she only bowed her head, like a willov waving in the wind. Yet when the sound of that halting footstep had died away, she went to tbe mantlepiece and put her arm upon it, and buried her head in tho lace sleeve.
Ret came behind her and drew her back and saw that the blue eyes were full of tears.
I    "Ah, ha!" sbe said, shaking her blue
ribbons and her blaok curls together,
"how long has this been going on, Nellie!"'
"How long has kJuU boen going on,
Ret'"said Nellie.
"Don't be deceitful, Nellie," said Ret; i'you know well enough what I mean."
Nellie sobbed—"Ret^ upon my word, nothing has been going on. He has hard¬ ly spoken to me oftener than you.    He
has never said a word like like what
you mean, indeed he hasn't. And I, Oh! Ret, you don't think I would be so im¬ modest ! No, I told you once tbat I would obey father if he told me to strangle my¬ self, and I know my duty. I hope I knew my duty. If Henry Midden and I do go tu the same church, and do occasionally meet out of this house by pure accident; and if I can't help seeing thathe is supe¬ rior to anybody I ever knew,.and think¬ ing—as who wouldn't ?—what » sweet dear face he has, that is- not-to say thst either he or I ever forget father,,or his prejudices, or our duty. -Xixi imind'Set, I/don't tsytbat Ur.UaldM carMUj.
'thing alwiit'ine. I hiven't. the least idea heaoes.' Tlieweakneisand thefoiiy-may be aU on my side; but, as I said before, I -knpw'my dtity."
"The fset of Uie.m^tter i»,".said Eet,, testily,  VthBt both.of jou. consider dear father a heatheo." ¦^OhrEet!"   '
"You.do. What objection can-he have to Mr. Maiden."   .
"Oh! Ret you know he's poor, andhe is clerk, and father alwwa. said that I must marry well, andhe means by that some rich man for whom I do not caro a cent.   I know he does."
"Perhaps hemay,"said Ret. "Old gen¬ tlemen are poor judges of girl's hearts.—^ But again I say, father isn't a heathen. How long lias this been going on—this church-going, and accidental meetings, and aU IhatT" "Two years. Ret."
"And you are not tired of each other yet?"
"Hush, Ret! I swear—at least I would awear, if it were not .wicked—that I have noreason to know tbat Mr. Maiden likes me. It is immodest of you to so much as hint at it, when you arenot sure."
"I think I am sure," said Ret. "You and he arq both alike. You believe fa¬ ther a heathen, and you have all sorts of ideas about duty aud self-sacrafice. I must take you in hand, I've agood mind," continued Ret, laughing, "to have a wed¬ ding at Christmas."
It was such a broad joke that Nellie smiled. And little Ret settled her blue headdress at the glass, and fell for the first time in her life into a brown study. At ton Nellie retired, but Ret sat up still. At half past ten the bell rang, :ind the master of the mansion entered. He had just been dining out, and was rosy and genial. Just enough old port had he taken to make him good-natured, and he kissed Ret very affectionately and called her a good girl. A hale old man, he was, past sixty-five, with snow-white hair on his head, like masses of floss silk. An old aristocrat if ever there was one in feeling; though, he forgat that, in all the world, was any one above himself, and fancied that if a man were not a prosperous mer¬ chant he was nobody. The Andersons had always been merchants and always wealthy men. It was a theory of his that no gentlemen would be poor, and that on¬ ly a merchant could be quite a gentleman. Ret had supper for him,and he satdown to it in a pleasant mood—Ret perohed on the arm of a sofa opposite, with muoh ex¬ hibition of plump foot andankle in open-: work stookings and sUppers, wilh purple rosettes on them. Eet was fine all over always.
And out popped a confession which would have awakened ire if murmered | with hesitation.
"Father, I had Mr. Henry Maiden in here tonight." "Ah 1"
The old gentleman's eyebrows were ele vated in surprise.
" How's that? Did the young man ask for tea?" " Askf—oh no.   I asked him." " Why!"
" He was out there in the bleak offioe, and we were so cosy, and it's injurious to go without one's meals. Nellie said you'd be angry but I told her you ware not a heathen who wished to starve people in your employ. Mr. Maiden is a very su¬ perior young man, tlther."
" Ah, yes! a very pleasant person—for a clerk."
" And he'll be here often now before Christmas—late, won't he?"
"Yes.   There is muoh to do, besides the trouble your Cousin Bertie has  given us.   The boy dom't understand the mul¬ tiplication table." " May I always ask him in, father ?" " You are housekeeper, Ret." " It'a settled, then," and Ret descended from her perch and kissed her father ex¬ actly in the centre of the spot among his white floss silk' tresses.   She had gained her first point.
Mr. Maiden was asked in every night and came. He used to vow resistance, but he always yielded. Only he knew how delightful this constant intercourse with Nellie Anderson was to him, or how miserable and bappy it made bim at once. Nobody, unless it was that odd little Bet. She came to him one evening in theoffice, shut the door, and then regardless of pro¬ priety, bolted it. Looking him straight in the face, she said, in a whisper— " Why don't you tell her sot" Henry Maiden's face, flushed, but he woold not understand her. So he eaid, " To what do you aUude, Miss Anderson 1" with suoh an icy tone as would have re pelled anybody but Ret.
She had no angels about her, mentally or physically, and rolled softly where others would have stuck fast.
" I allude to you and her," she said— " to my sister Nellie and yon, you young goose. Why have you gone on this way for two years, Insteadof popping the ques¬ tion and trying to find out whether Nel¬ lie like.a you, eh ?"
The ice melted. Ket had looked into his heart. The flush faded from his cheek and he grew pale again.
" It is cruel of you. Miss Anderson," he said. " You must know why. If you bave read my secret, you'muat understand why it is one and must be one forever.
"Stuff and nonsense," said Ket, perch¬ ing, with great disregard  to decorum, on a high stool.   The slippers were bronze, j with gilt buckles this time.  " I say again, why?" " Do you know my salary ?" "Yes."
" And my position here ?" " That also."
" And your father's prejudices." " I ought lo have learned them in forty years."
" Do you suppose, Mias Anderson, that a poor salaried clerk would be received with favor as an applicant for the hand of Mr. Anderson's daughter ?"
" No. But then father ia not the bar¬ barian you fancy him,"
" I beg your pardon, Mias Anderson; 1 fancy him so entirely civilised that I would have no hope of his relenting.—
But " he broke off suddenly.   "This
is folly. Why ha,ve you led me to .talk thus 7 It is imposs^le that my presump¬ tuous passion—yoti iiave forced it from me—can ba returned by one so besnti' ful!" " Why, again ?"
Bet crossed her sUppers. as she spoke and -waited for an answer.
!* Were I the highest and richest in the land I should not dare to hope, crippled, deformed^ as I am."
Ret descended from her perch and be¬ gan to touch, his shoulders with her fat hand. " Feeling for the hnmp,'^ she said apolegetically jnd explanatorilly. "I don't see it."
She was so comical lhat the ^esparing lover absolutely langhed. "Ah I I begin to know that you mean that littlelimp of yours} so that's ithe obstacle?"
" iiiu Ellen Andersott hss never pven mt the sUghtut hope, eTea wen itbrn •ny."
»¦ I wash my hands of. that," said Eet,- " I put bertut the -question. If a man wants to know a girl's heart, he must find it out for himself, manfully. But a limp 4«-not an obsUcle. Women are not Uke -inen. If yoaabsolutely hada humpback, sonie,W;Omen would loveyou; and, you are aagoqd looking as most people, after all."
'^Miaa Andereon, you are different from most womenrr-better—yeu can't judge for them.
"You think beoauae I'm not pretty I would not have been so particular when I-waa young."
What answer oould he make? He put his arms upon the desk and rested his forehead on them. " If I only were hand¬ some and rich," he almost sobbed.
" Make believe you are; forget farther, who is not a heathen; forget that limp of yours, that your brood over as though no one ever limped before. Find out whether Wellie loves you, and, ifshe don't, make the beat of it. I can't bs fidgeted any more; I've lost two pouuds over it; I have, indeed."
She did not show the loss. " What a goose you are," sho went on. " Two years of good chances and not one step nearer than at flrst. Look here, Henry Maiden, I'll give you one opportunity, and, if you lose that, you ahull never know wether Nellie likes you or not; for I'll marry her to somebody else at once, I wUl indeed. You don't deaerve her, faint heart, you actually don't."
" I know it. I have known it all along."
Ret laughed. " There," she said," I'm going. Take tea with us to-night and I'll givo you an opportueity, you morbidly sensitive fooliah orealure, with your bad opinion of dear father. Listen, there's a vorse in a queer old book upstairs, and it runs in this way:
"Oae iritbout itockiaj^B mny irear a.shoo.
And travel all daj as tho plow men do;
Bat delicate aentioieat thiaha a shoo ehockiag.
And travels io mire with only a stacking."
And put went Ret, unlocking the door to let heraelf out, to the great scandle of a very proper housemaid wHb happened to be passing and who told the cook soon after that she " never expected to blush for Miss Ret."
NeUie, making roses on a pair of velvet slippers for the patient's feet, was aston ished by seeing Ret soon after standing in her scarlet Welch flannel gown before her, shaking her fingera menacingly. " If Henry Maiden tells you tbat he loves you," she said, "and you break both your hearts under the false impression that you excellent father is a brute, I shall hate yon." This was her speech, and Nellie caught her skirt nervously in both hands.
" Oh, if he should, dear Ret, what should I ever do, my feeling are so at strife ? It's very hard to be obliged to do such dread¬ ful things; you cruel creature you will kill me."
" I iitoto he'll pop the question soon,'' said Eet, and if you like him say ' yes,' and be married on Christmas day."
"You must be going orazy. Ret." and Nellie thought so. ^
" No; I'm not even in love, it it comes to that. I'll manage father; I know him. Remeraber—yes."_
"He hasn't asked me," cried  Nellie, " and I don't believe he will—I bope not; we both know our duty."    But Eet left her, and that night Mr. Maiden was ask¬ ed onca more to tea; and left in the room alone'for one goo5 half hour with Nellie. He came out white and trembling, and ran against Ket in the long dark passage. She clutched his arm.   "Haveyou done it?"   She waited for an answer and only heard a sob.   " What did sho say ?   Not no, eh ?—not no 1" Anda broken voice sobbed— "Ah, my darling! my own darling !— She loves me 1 sbe loves me!"
" Good!" said Ret. " I'll havo a Christ mas wedding, and prove tbat father is no heathen." Inside the door sat Nellie in tears. " Oh ! wicked girl that I am," she said. "You tempted me. Ret.   I've done so wrong. I couldn't help it.   How he lovea me, Eet!" "Didn't I say so?"
" And father, oh ! faiher. He has rea¬ son to disown me."
" But ho won't," aaid Ret! "and now we must hurry. Miss Bliss is ooming to¬ day to make your while silk dress. I bought it yesterday—mone antique. What 0 pity a bride couldn't wear pink." " A bride!"
" Yes, Christmas is your wedding day. Rev. Matbias Ringdove will ofiiciate, and ru be bridesmaid." '•And father?"
" I'll fix all that. I repeat onco more father is not ac ogre."
Nellie was aghast. Ket began lo mea¬ sure the breadths of the splendid skirt; and soon Miss Bliss, the dressmaker, ar¬ rived, to be astonished at its splendor, and think to herself what an extravagant thing it was to dress in whito moire an¬ tique for a family Christmas parly at home, for Ket said nothing about the bride to her; and Mr. Anderson, inno¬ cent victim that he was, who but he went with Ket to Harkinson's, the confection¬ ers at Germantown, when she ordered an immense bride cake, iced with Cupids on il, and then brought home from Evan's, Chestnut street, in his pockets, lace for a veU.'
Henry Maiden and Nellie Anderson had drawn swords hanging over their heads by less than a single thread that week.
And so Christmas day came—absolute¬ ly dawned—and the chief conspirator had all to do to make her last point
She made it boldly. At dawn sbe en¬ tered her father's room, bearing a gorge ous dressing gown, after her own heart, in both her hands.
"Happy Christmas, father! See "what Santa Claus has sent you."
"Splendid! Thank you, child. You'll find something upstairs, also, I fancy."
"I knew I should; but, dearest father, I wantyou to give me something else- Promise first. I want a Christmas present of my own choosing." " You shall have it.
"Positively?" I
"Why not?"
" Because it's  very valuable.   Beoause you'U not like to give it.   Because I ahall break my heart if yoii do not." " Eet, what is it?" " I want you to give me Nellie." "Haven't you anough of ber?" " Yes, but I want her to give Aitay." "To-rgive—away!   Whfl(rto?" The truth, or part of it began to dawn uponhis:mind.
" Dearest father, don't be mad—please don't be mad. If you will give me Nellie, I shall give her to the nephew of the great merchant, Edward Maiden, who, before he faUed, years ago, was worth a million. To a good young man, father, who loves her-and would die for her, and who respects you so much that, thongh he almost broke his heart, he would not have preanmed to pop thequestion if I hadn't made hiii-^ibsolntely made him.
ty years bf age, r couldn't see two dear yeung things so wretched. I know you are good and a Christian. Say yes, father —jay yes." . 1
" Mj- clerk," cried Mr. Anderson, "tbe nephew of the great merchant, Edward Maiden I"
"And your partner—for of course you'U take him into the firm now," said Eet.
It was too comical. Mr. Anderson laughed, tried to scowl, laughed again, and said:
*' He is a fino young fellow, too. And poor Uttle Nell."
And Ret put her arms about his neck.
"Gn and comfort her, father," she said. "Iwlll never, never leave yon, even if anybody wanted me to."
.And she never did, despite a sunny- haired old bachelor, wbo soon after pop¬ ped the queslion six times in as many weeks.
That night, at the Christmas party, the Rev. Mathias Rmgdove married Mr. Hen¬ ry Maiden, nephew of the late Edward Maiden, and youngest memberof the firm of Anderson & Co., to Miss Ellen, young¬ est daughter of Jonathan Anderson, Esq; and Miss Ret, as bridesmaid, appeared in a dress of royal purpio with yellow floun¬ ces and pink roses in her hair, and wore blue satin slippers, and caused the com¬ pany to wonder wby Miss Ret would make herself such a fright, and what she meant by alluding in thai mysterious way to her
CnRISTM.<.3 PRESENT.
Henry Maiden has more lhau realized all the expectations entertained about him, as a devoted and affectionate hus¬ band; as a man of high mentol cuUure; and as one af the most prosperous, repec¬ ted and high-toned merchants of Phila- adelphia.

For many a merry yo've eoon
t'iaco boyhood's gloe and manhood's greon;
Come bless hia gravo vith amilrs and tears,
Ue brought you hopes aa well aa fjars.
Restless spirita—ye that dream -
AU tho night and,all tho day, Te that are not whaC ye seem,
Wakol the old year hica away. Como, your almoner is Ijw,
Scarcely baati his pulae e'en now. The next rclenilosa drift of snow
WiU sweep tho laat ray from hia brow Ah! ye soom a motley crowd,
What hath made your cheoks 80 pale 7 What hath wrapped youia the cloud? FcUowa OQco ao strong and bale— LoTo of woman, lovo of fame, L'jTO of g jld for rank and name. Love of all but hoaven and truth, Theao wero tho oaly dreams of youth.
Come, how farea it with your auits.
Meet yo not a common fato ? laste yo not thc longed-for fruita.
Are yc rich, beloved, or great ? Gather round thc dying yeai^
Toll of all your hearts' complaint, (Jive your lost remorseful tear.
That can never hurt nor taint. Tell him of tho wearied soul,
JadO'i in ambition's laee. Tell him glory's crimsou'a aeruU
Uuth tno bloom oneo on thy face; Tell him how yo toiled for gold.
Hiding it 'neath rusty keya. Now tbat bope and time are old,
TeU bim ifthe dumb coins pleaac.
He's almost gooe; tho midnight hour. So full of peace hath yet no power To mako him linger.    Oa hia brow Hut one lono beam of ligbt p'aya now. Ah mo ! in that expiring ray Mothiiks tbo light of muny a day Poth hhnd in colors that icvcal What none may speak, though many feel, Tho year ia dead—the year is dead. Its last palo star forever flod.
Uut look, for in lho Eastean skies. Doth not another star arise ? Behold, e'en now its gcnt'e ligbt. Shedding beauty cn tho night. Silvering all tto clouda and hills, Banciog on tho rocks a'jd rills.
Is it not a glorious day.
That no chilly wind can spoil ? All created things look gay.
Mirth hath lightened caro and toil, Childrea's eyes aro wild with joys
Manhood dreama of early days, Sires and matrons, girls and boya,
Givo themselves to cbitdish plays. Frienda and couaios moot again,
Luvera kiss tlicir doubts away, Woundod hearts forget their puin.
Oh, it is a glorious day.
Men and women, have yon wealth 7
Think then of tho poor man's woes. Havo yen cheerful heatts and health ?
Givo to othor hearts repose. Think from whouco tbo day-springs fiow.
Think who watches o'er your tloep. Round tho heaitn atone meekly bow,
And your early promise keep.
Como to Zioa's holy mount.
Walk wo with her faithful flock. Drink wo from hor living f ,unt,
Stand wo on har Uviog rock. Lift t J Gud the gratelul song.
Let no a ain come on thy heart. Bid tho stricken soul bo slrong,
FoUow peace and peace impart.
Living thus we may rejoice. Living thus wo'll ever hear,
2^ight and mum, tho angel's voieo Promising a bappy year.

Mistress of the Robes is an office of great importance, aod one of the best in the gift of tho Ministry. The duties distin¬ guish the holder above all others—for in¬ atance, that of riding in the royal carrioge on all slato occasions, and robing the Queen at the ceremonials of importance, though the actual manipulation connect¬ ed with the duties of tbe Mistress of the Robes is usually performed by attendenls on the person of the Sovereign. Groom of the Stole was rather a ourious offioe to attach to that of Mistress of the- Robes, but requisite when a female was on tbe throne. The Slolo is a narrow vest, em¬ broidered with roses, Jlcurs dc Us and crowns, and Uned wilh sarsenet. Sarah, Duchess of Malborough, held both of these offices in the reign of Queen Anne, and BO did the Duchess of Somerset.. Tho ladies of the Bedchamber—the duties are connected wilh all things appertaining lo the royal sleeping and dressing apart¬ ments, of which they have complete super¬ intendence and conlrol, as well, also, of the apparel of the Queen. The Bedcham¬ ber women are aeven in number, and tbeir salaries and duties are similar to the Ladies of the Bedchamber. Maids of Honor are of ancient dates and ot consid¬ erable importance. They were always well paid and well cared for by royaUy. Tiieir dutiea are to attend to the Queen— The turn of the eigbt ladies being accord- log lo an order drawn up eaoh year. The salary is £300 per annum.

AVliatever be iu origin, ic is hereditary in tlic constitution, descending "from parenta to chihlrcu i:n:u thc third and fuurth generation;" indeed, i: Ecenis to be the rod of Uim who sayj!, " I v.-iU visit tho iniquities of the Cithers upon ilieir children." Thc diseases it originates take various namea, according to the organs jt attacks. In tlie Iiinip!, Kcroftila producea tuhercles, and iinaily Cousumiition; in lho glands, fiwollings which Buppuralc and be¬ come ulcerous sores; in the stouiaeh Ji::d bowels, derangcmcnis which produce iiali- gcstion, dyspepsia, and livctcomidaints; on thc skin, oruplivc and cutaneous aneetioii.^.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla is compounded from the most ofrectunl ar.ii- dotes that medical science has di.-^covercd f/r this afilieting di£tcmiK:r, and for the cure -f the disorders it entails. Thnt. it is far FUpe- rior to nny other romedy yet devised, is known by all who have given it a trial, 'i'hr.i it docs combine virlues truly extrau''din::vy in their etfect upon tins class of couiphiiiu s is indisputidily proven by the great imiltitiil'.' of publicly known and rcnmrliable curt3 it Iia-*; made of the following diseases: King^''.

Coughs ironi tuberculotis deposits in tho lungs, Whit3 Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Nenraigii. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis an;! SyphiUtic Infections, BTercun'al Discirc', Fennle Weaknesse"*. 'ind- indeed, ihu whole scries of complaints that urise from inipuriiy of tlie blood. Minute reports of individual cases may Ijc found in Avi:i:*a Ajilkican Alm.\nac, wiiich is furnished lo tiic druLjgi.'ts for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be learned thc direetious fur \U u?e, nnd fon.c of thc remarkable cures which it has n:rdc when all other remedies had failed to aJlcid relief. Those cases arc puiposcly tckcn from all sections of the countiy, in order lliat every reader tnay have access to toiiic one who can speak to him ofits benefits fro::: personal experience. Scrofula depre.^ycs the vital energies, and tlius leaves itslvictims far more &ui4,cct to disease and its futal resuit.^ tlmn are healthy constitutions. Hence it tends to sliorten, and docs greatly shoifcn, tlic average duration of human lifo. Ti;e vast importance of those considerations Iia.'s led us to spend years in perfecting a rcn:cdy which ia adequate to its cure. This we r.uvr olTcr to (he public under the name of Avi.r.'s S.MtSArAniLLA, allhough it is con.i:oscd of IngrcdientF, some of which exceed tl:e bcet of Sarsapaiilla in alterative power. V.y i'.» aid you m.iy protect yourself from i!:c ullkr- ing and danger of these diioidcrs. l'ur;:o out the foul conuptions ihat rot and fc-iLr in thc Uood, purge out the causes of di.'caje, nnd vigorous health will follow.
