BY WILLIAM LEooErT.
Ifyon bright stars, which gem the night,
Be each blissful dwelling sphere,
Where kindred spirits re-unte,
Whom death hath torn asunder here;
How sweet 1t were at once to die,
And leave this blishted world afar,
Mkt soul and soul to cleve the sky,
And soar away from star to star.
But oh, how dark, how drenr and lone,
Would seem the brightest world of bliss,
Ifwandering though each radiant one,
We fail to find the loved of this
lfthere no more the ties shall twine,
That deaths cold hand alone could sever;
All! then those stars in mockery shine,
More hateful as they shine forever,
1t rannot be each hope, each fear,
Thatllshts the eye, or clouds the brow,
Proclaims there is a happier sphere
Than this black world that holds US now,
There is voice whch sorrow hears,
When heaviest weighs life CALLING chains
'Tis heaven that whispers-dry thy tears,
The pure in heaven shall meet ag1in.

WIRING FOR THE PREss.-The Pitts
burg Advocate recommends to, those who
write for the press the observance of tbs
following rules. Disregard of fthem often i'm
noses a deal of unnecessary trouble on pub
fishers and their workmen, and it OCCASION
ally happens that manuscripts are sent in
shape SO totally unfit forth. printers hands
that they are, for that reason alone, thrown
under the table:
Every word, the sense of which is not
perfectly obvious, should be so written that
every letter will show for itself. This
should be particularly observed in wriiing
proper names. An observance of this rule
will secure the author against the vexatlon
of having his article incorrectly copied and
what to conscientious man will be an
equally strong nducement, 1t will save the
compositor great deal of time and trouble
the first of which is money to him, and
of the secord he has plenty, without finding
it in decypherlpg heroglyphics.

THE LAST HERRING.
" "Hcot away despair,
Never yield to SORROW
The blacklist sky may wair
A smiling face to morrow"

1t was Saturday night, and the
widow of the Pine cottage sat by her
blazing faggots, with her five tattered
children at her side, endeavoring by
listening to the artlessness OF their ju.
venile pratllc, TO dissipate the heavy
gloom that passed upon her mind.
For long year, he own hands had
provided for her helpless family, for
she had no supporter-she thought
she had no friend in all the wide
world around. That mysterious
Providence,t the wisdom ofwhose ways
are above human comprehension, had
visited her with wasting sickness and
her little means had become exhaust
ed. 1t was now mid winter, and the
snow lay heavy and deep through
the surrounding forests, while storms
seemed gathering in the heavens, and
the driving wind roared through the
bending pines that rocked her puny
mansion.
The last herring smoked upon the
Goals before her; it was the only arti-
Gle Of food she possessed; and no Won
der if her disconsolate state brought
up in her lone bosom all the anxieties
of a mother when she looked upon
her children; and no wonder, foorr
as she was, if she suffered the hear
swelllngs of despair 10 rise, ever
though she knew that He whose
promise is to the widow, and to the
orphan, cannot forget his word
Providence had many years before
taken from her an elder son, wh'
went away from his forest home tt
try his fortune on The seas, since
4 which she hat heard no note or IL
4 dings ofhim; oud in latter times sh,
had been ty ne hhaTTf q death, Dc
prived ol a companion and staff .
support in her husband. Yet to til
hour she had been upbornc; she ha'
been not only able to provide for he
little flock, but had never lost one op
portunity administering to the want
: of the miserable and destitute.
: The indolent may well bear pow
erty while the ability to gain sus
tenance remains. The individua
who has but his own wants to suppl
: may suffer with forttude the wnte
r Of want; his affections are not wound
ed, his heart is not wrung. Th
most desolate of populous cities
e may hope, for charity has not out
closed her hand and heart, and shu
:, her eyes on misery. But the indus
trious mother of helpless and depend
ing children. far from the reach {
human charity, has none of these
console her. And sucha one was tn
:; widow of the Pine Cottage, but 9
she bent over the fire. and took Il
I. the last scanty remnant of food
e spread before her children, her spir
y seemed to brighten up, as by SON
D. sudden and mysterious impulse, ;
# Cowper'S beautiful lines came uncaI
N ed across her mind

'e But trust him for his grace,
Behind rowning Providence,
He hides smiling face"
