ami exclaimed Charles, who entered
just at that moment, thanks be TO an
all-wise Providence that directed me
to my fathers house. 1t is CHARLES
that stands before you!'
With a shrek of delight Helen
threw herself into his outstretched
arms, and wept tears Of JOY upon his
bosom while the old man stood mo-
tionless, but his eyes were wet and his
lips quivered, though not with grief.
When they had become somewhat
composed, Charles related 10 them
what had occurred since he left them.
The Joy that beamed in the swimming
eyes of the delighted girl, as she hung
fondly on her lovers arm, was only
equalled by the tenderness with which
he returned her look of affection
How deep was the bliss of that moment
making amends by its delight, for the
long years of doubt and absence. /
was not long before Charles renewed
again the boyish VOWS he had pledged
to Helen, and the blushing girl listen
ed, smiling and weeping by turns
| Need it be added that in a short tins
Helen and Charles were united at tn

BIRTH DAY OF WASHINGTON.


BY GEORGE d. PRENTICE.
Why swell million hearts as one,
With memories of the past!
Why rings out yon deep thunder gun
Upon the rushing blast!
Why hold the beautiful the brave
The jubilee Of earth!
1t Is, it is the day that gave
Our patriot hero birth.
We offer here a sacrifice
Of hearts to him who came
To guard young Freedoms paradise
With sword of living fame
To him who, on wars whirlwind loud,
Rode like an angel form,
And set his glory on the cloud,
A halo Of the storm.
A hundred years, with all their train
Ofshadow. have gone by,
And yet his glorious name remains,
A sound that cannot die!
IT'S craven on the hill, the vale,
And on the mountain tall,
And speaks in every sounding gale
And roaring waterfall!
No marble on his resting spot
Its sculptured column rears,
But his is still nohler lot,
A grateful nations tears.
Old Time, that bids the marble bow,
Makes green each laurel leaf
That blossoms upon the sainted brow
Of our immortal chief.
His deeds were ours, but thro' the world
That mighty name viii be,
Where Glory's banner is uniur'ed,
The watchword of the Free
And as they bend their eagle eyes
On Victory's burning sun,
Their shouts will echo to the skies,
Our God and Washington :"

THE NEW YEARS NIGHT OF
THE UNHAPPY MAN.
FROM THE GERMAN OF RITcHER.

An old man stood one new-year's
night by his window, and cast a look
of despair toward the immoveable,
.ever-garnished heavens, and down
upon the still pure, white earth, upon
which no .one was now so sleepless
and wretched as himself.-Fcr his
grave was lying beside him; it was
covered only with the snow of age,
not with the verdure of youth /; and he
had brought down thither from long
life ofwealth, nothing but errors, vices
and diseases, a wasted body and a
desolate soul, bosom full of poison,
and an age full of repentance. The
bright days Of his youth now returned
upon his mind like spectres, and car
ried him back to that lovely morning,
when his father first placed him upon
the cross-way Of life, which leads on
the right through the sun-path of virtue
into land full of light and harvests,
and on the left, down into the mole
walks Of vice, into dark caverns full of
distiiling poisons, kissing serpents, and
black, sultry, vapors.
Alas, the snakes were even now
hanging at his breast, and the poison
drops on his tongue, and he knew not
where he was. Distracted and with
nnspeakable grief, he cried to heaven:
"Give me back my youth o father,
place me once more upon the cross
way, and let me choose again. But
his father and youth were gone long
ago. He saw ignes fatui dancing upon
the marshes and disappearing behind
the cemetery, and he exclaimed =
Those are my foolish days. He
saw star flying from heaven, glitter
ing in its fall, and finally vanishing
upon the earth THAT am l. sale
his bleeding heart, and the snake teetl
ofrepentance pierced deeper therein
His flaming imagination showed hin
flying night spirits, upon the roofs, ant
the windmill appraised its arms as
threatning destruction ; and skull
remaining without the house of tn
dead, gradually assumed its features
His emotions began to soften. ii
looked around the horizon and owe
the wide earth, and he thought on til
friends of his youth who now, happlt
and better than he, were teachers {

and he said: 20, | might also hay

In these feverish membranes

the form of living youth. And tn
again he could see it no more; he &C
