Ter parted hair in rich profusion fell
Over neck Of snow. The orient pearls,
Pure emblem of her spotless mind; the flowers,
Bright symbol Of her joyous path, were twiped
Amid those flowing ,resses. Night and morn
Seem'd mingiing there, sable were her locks,
So pale her marble brow How fair che was!
How envied and how rich Rich in the gifts
That ART yields not, that gold can never buy,
Rich In the fanltless features Of her race,
Rich, IL the feryem love Of faithful friends
Could make hcr wealthy On that heavenly brow
The high born ehieftain 'urn'd his rapturous SHze
The traveller felt the sunshine Of her smile
Light up bis weary way: and, she passed,
The loviy hind forge, his wonted toll;
To greet her 18th his humble benson
Such was the beautiful object which
called forth this hasty illusion, as | saw
her fur the first time by the ligh, Of

after my departure from Ovar; she was
journeying towards Oporto, attended
by three servants. greeted her ac-
cording to the custom Of the country,
and, as We were travelling on the same
road, we naturally Tell into q CONVEX
satIon, which she kept up with livcli-
ness and spirit. Her servants were
bare fOotedj they wore red sash, q
laced jacket with rich silver buttons,
large hat, and EARRINGS of solid geld.
The curious mixture Of familiar jia.

which appeared IN her intercourse with

and yet the whole neighborhood praised
Mary Hemphill and loved her. She
was kind. without ostcntation-socia
Bile. without being troublesome. And.
While few people lived more comforta.
BILE, none lived more economically.
The results Of such management can
never disappoint the reasonable rxpec-
tations Of those who build upon them.
Even the angry frown Of misfortune is
almost put n. defiance. A vantage
ground IL soon gained which the storm
seldom reaches; and full reward
comes, in its proper time, 10 crown the
need Of lives thus spent.
The music of Harry's tools were in
full play on the morning that LETT the
village for distant residence. II was

dence Of the ,illagcr, I saw the door

There are certain signs perceptible a.

most casual observer.
On my return to Aylesbury, many
years afterwards, motto ed beautiful

Of wealth and taste. Richly cultivated
fields spread themselves out ON every

the sun was just setting behind the
western hills; and while a group of
neatly dressed children sported on the
adjacent school-house green. the mel
low notes Of the flute mingled with
their noisy mirih. "There,n said an
old friend, "lives Harry Hemphill-
that IS his farm-those are his cattle
here is his school house. and these his
own and some orphan children Of his
adoption, which he educafes at his ow n
expense. Having made . noble for
tune by his industry and prudence, he
spends his large income in deeds of
charity--and he and Mary mutually
give each other the credit Of doing all
this"
My heart expanded thcn-it expands
still when ] think Of them. And I
pen their simple history in the hope
that, as it is entirely imitable, some
who read il will attempt TO initiate it..

IRON THE AMERICAN FARMER.
THE FARMERS NERNAL ODE.

The farmers joyous season,
Comes tripping gaily on;
Its heralds are the gentle air,
Warmed by genial sun.
Aud now he weods him DER each 6cld,
Each hedge and fence along;
And through the groves and DER the hills,
His giaddened herbs among.
And joyously he views them all,
From dresry winter free,
And feeis ~ doth the mariner,
just from the boistcJous sea.
Though heritage sere and icafless boush.,
Arrest the careless view;
He sees the living germs that peep,
Their winter shelters through.
And gisdsomely he grccts them all,
Those little buds of hope;
Which soon will meath the genial sun,
Their fragrant flowers opc;
From which bell see the future fruit,
Emerge and ripcn soon;
And thence the farmers store of ioy.-
OF hope the promised boon.
O! deem not tame such pleasures,
AZ come with springs return,
To fill the farmers bosom
Nor yet their Offering spurn.
For o. OF earth the sweetest,
The purest Joys We sing,
Are those the farmer feeleth,
On the rcturn Of spring.

laundering Spring. a deep
glen. IN the northwest corner Of Up
son county, is q curious fountain, popu
larry known as the Inmdering Spring.
Ii Is situated in the middle Of caney
branch, at the bottom Of high steep
hill. The basin Of the spring is about
ten feet over, perfectly round, with
bright shining ZONES around u, rescm-
bling gold and silver belts, caused by
the deposit of fine yellow sand and
isingIass. Though the sand boils I'd
below with considerable vcheme nee,
the surface Of the water is per.
fec'iy smooth and transparent, and
runs OF SO gently that its current j.
scarcely perceptibIc, and many sup.
pose, that the water sinks as fast as il
rises. The transparency Of the wa.
ter extends about six inches. Below
that depth, il appears like boiling sand,
or soap kettle IN state Of cbullition.
The water is nearly blood warm, and
has 4 slight sulphurous taste and smell.
The ebull,tion is so strong, that il L.
SAID To be impossible for a person 10
sink in this spring. Bathing here is
said TO be certain cure for rheuma-
tism and many cutaneous affec tons.
The boiling IL irregular, sometimes be
ing scarcely pcrcep,ible, at other times
strong and Violent. The basin il said
to be very deep, and many iguaran,
people suppose IL has no bottom. The
most remarkable feature. however. a.
bout this singular spring. is low rum
bling noise. heard at short intervals.
resembling distant thunder. or the low
mutter'ngs Of the tempest.
This Spring was held in n good ,lea
Of venera,ion. We are told. by the In.
dams, who imagined IL the laboratory
OF thunder and storms! and they had d n
idea, that by agitating the water, they
could cause it 10 thunder and rain
Nearly on the top Of the hill over the
fountain. is a deep sink or pit. which
they say was the former situation al
the Spring, and that the thunder Spirit
removed il down from the valley to

" her superior in rank. Acquaintance
gave birth to attachment, and the diff
cuities which prevented their union
heightened that feeling into the most
ardent love. Her lovers family con.
templated the possibility Of such an
event with dread; but her father en-.
couragcd their intercourse, and the
plighted couple met every evening
under the shade Of the garden fig-
tree. and exchanged vows Of eternal
fidelity. The impetuous bot resolute
attachment Of her young admircr At
length appeared to overcome the oppO.
sition Of his family. and he arrived
one evening at the trysting place in
high spirits, and entertaining sanguine
hopes. They spent 4 few delightful
hours in the full enjoyment Of rccipro-
cal confidence, and separated with the
belief that they would be speedily uni.
ted to part no more; but from that
hour they never met again, either in
sorr"w or in joy. Her lovers father,
anxious TO avert from his family
the disgrace Of an unequal alliance,
had appeared TO reient, for the pur.
pose Of executing his design with
greater facility. He had already con-
ferred with the civil authorities, and
that very night his son was arrested
and conveyed to place Of strict con.
finemcnt. There he was siezed with
an infectious fever, Of which he died
IN few days, in spite Of every exer-
ton 10 save him.
She married two years afterwards,
and confessed to me that she was per-
fectly happy. A prior attachment
sometimes continues to exist in q wo-
mans mind long after her marriage !;
but, except in persons Of deeply rooted
affections. rarely survives the birth Of
a child-from that hour the current
Of her thoughts becomes changed new
duties, new feelings. new hopes arise
to Danish former regrets, and
'.She who lately loved the best,
Too soon forgcts she loved At all"
! observed in my pretty heroine a
striking instance OF those sudden bursts
Of quick and sensitive feeling. which
seem inherent in the Southern tempera-
ment. Altbo' she spoke OF her FIRST III
fated lover with calmness. almost with
indifference, and confessed that she had
long ceased to regret the difficulties
which prevented their union; yet snce.
as she dweltuPon past scenes. and re-.
called q thousand instances Of his bow.
ish devotion. her voice changed. her
dark eyes filed with tears, and her
whole soul seemed to revert with undi-
minished affection to the object Of her
early love. Her emotion was bat
transient; yet ! am convinced, that
while il lasted she would have renounc
ed every human being To be restored
to the unforgotten youth Who had been
the first TO win her affec tons, and was
then Numbering in the grave.
