ADVENTURES.

In September, 1910, there came passengers
in a vessel from New York TO New Orleans,
young mechanic, who had Just been married,
and his wife, and his wife's sister. The latter
was not quite seventeen years old, but had been
well educated, and came Southwark with the
hope of living with her sister, and earning
livelihood by teaching small school, or assist
ing in a larger one. She was not handsome
nor could she, indeed, be deemed the opposite !;
but, possessed of more than ordinary intelli-
gence, and lively and agreeable disposition,
she appeared to be more successful in winning
admiration than would have been deemed by
any one who had never made her acquaintance,
or observed her manners, and listene TO her con-
versation.
Soon after the departure Of the vessel from
New York, young physician, also, among the
passengers, inquired of the captain whether he
had any knowledge Of this family, previous to
their coming on board. The captain replied,
that he had not, but that they had been intro
duced to him on embarking by persons of the
highest responsibility, and that he entertained
no doubt they were most unexceptionable peo-
pie The young disciple Of Esculapius there
upon exhibited to the captain his own letters,
which contained most satisfactory proofs of his
fair standing with the world, and of the respec-
liability of his connections, who reside near Bal
timore, in MARYLAND, and begged the favor of a
special introduction to the young lady. The
captain replied that it would be to him an office
of pleasure, but suggested that moments
conversation with her brother-in-law could do
no evil. The Doctor readily acceded to this,
and after giving the captain an opportunity of
conversing with that gentleman, was formally
introduced to him, and his wife, and her sister.
During the rest Of the voyage, all went mer-
rily. The married couple were happy in each
others society; and a smile Of bengnity beam
ed upon their faces, as they looked upon the
glad and happy countenances of their sister and
new friend. The Doctor was very handsome ;
and, though the lady was not, she seemed like
one who had been born TO love and be loved.
Her voice sounded upon the young physicians
ear like the tones of richest melody, and her
full, intelligent, and witty conversation, excited
the liveliest admiration, and induced the capt.
waited youth to believe that every hour that
should pass away while she should De absent
feed They read together, promenaded the
decks together, and when there was occasion

OUR COUNTRY.


W. >. fkAboDf.
Our country lis glorious land
With broad arms stretched from shore TO shor,
The proud Pacific chafes her strand,
She hears the dark Atlantic roar;
And nuturd on her ample breast,
low many goodly prospect lies
In Natures widest grandeur drest,
Enamelrd with her lovelest dyes.
Rich prairies, deck'd with flowers of gold,
Lake sun-lt ocean roll afar;
Broad lakes her azure heavens behold,
Rejecting clear each trembling star;
And mighty rivers, mountain born,
Go sweeping onward, dark and deep;
Through forests where the bounding fawn
Beneath their sheltering branches leap.
And Graded mid her clustering hills,
Sweet wales in drcam-likc beauty hide,
Where Love the air with music fills,
And calm Content and Peace abide;
For Plenty here her fulness pours,
In rich proflsion Ger the land
And sent to seize her generous stores,
There prowls no Tyrant's hireling band.
Great God we thank thee for this homel
This bounteous birh-land OF the Free,
Where wanderers from afas may come,
And breathe the air Of Liberty;
Still may her flowers untrampled spring,
Her harvests wave, her cities rise;
And yet till time shall fold its wing,
Remain earth's Ioveliest Paradise

She sleepeth yet and fears no evil nigh;
But the death angel hovers round her couch,
And feelcth for her heart strings-and they break

To guide the kindred spirit to its home.
Her place is vacant; wait not at the door,
As she did wait last night for us! She'll come

SPRING.
BaIGnr goddess of the Southern cline!
Bedewer Of tho wings Of timel
Wandering tn eternal spheres among,
For ever fair, for ever young,
And still from world to world renewing,
What Time and Death are still undoing-
Q Spring: Earth's visitant from Heaven
What countless gifts by thee are given
Thou passcst or old Winters reign
Asunder bursts his icy chain
Thou breathest- regions at thy breath
Awaken from the sleep Of Death;
Thou visitest the gloomy North,
With thy soft train Of whispering Hours,
And all the stars come brighter forth
To gaze upon tho opening flowers;
Thou speakest with thy gentle voice,
And birds in green wood bowers rejoice;
Thou smilest-lo the mountains blue
Bright dreams Of ancient years renew,
And brooks and fountains running free,
Haste TO embrace the calling sea.
But most when worn with woe and pain,
Or years Of sickness lingering reign,
Unto the human mind and heart
An angel visitant thou art.
The faded eye grows bright to thee
The low pulse beats less languidly;
The pale cheek wins fresher hue;
Exhausted thought revives anew:
Fen palsied Age thy presence greets
And from the grave one step retreats
Thou only canst not from their bed
All would thou couldst awake the dead:
How would the minstTel's heart run DER
To meet the loved, the lost, once more i
Yet why awake to Life's wild fcvcrl
o thrice-beloved, sleep for everi

THE SLANDERER.
81 hate him for his poisonous breath,
More deadly than the dcws of death.
hate him for his horrid hes
His peace destroying calumnies.
His words hate-so arch-so sly
So void ofgenerosty,
So deep so empty-yet SO full
OF what will social JOY annul;
His heart is ga-his tongue is fire,
His soul too base for generous ire"
We frequently hear the character Of virtuous
and worthy persons, traduced in the vilest man
ner, by the foul slanderer, who is too cowardy
TO meet the object of his resentment face to face
and thus vents his malice by deluging the ears Of
scores of his acquaintances with tales Of reckless
calumny and detracton Almost every depart
ment of society is tainted with his pestilential
vapor, and mingled IN his communications

boy, from the aged maiden TO the lisping miss,
SANDER and detraction range with appalling
strides.
II is unnecessary 10 say that discord, strife,
contention, and variance among neighbors, the
name of friendship annihilated where il has long
existed, and friends changed to bitter enemies,
and in short, great part Of the discord in socie-
ty, are the deadly effects Of this demoniac vice,
this bane of social ntercourse--SlandeT.
The primary object of the Slandcrer general
ly is TO inure the reputation OF the person SLAM
dered, to lessen him in the esteem of others
What is dearer TO person than his reputationl
You take from a man his reputation, his good
name among his fellow men, you take his all, so
FAR as his life is concerned. Here is where the
sanderer aims his deadly arrows, here he com
.mences his deeds Of darkness, here he accom-
plishes his evil designs--his ignominious purpo-
ses. What ray Of comfort can be found to
cheer ones path through this world Of trouble
when that which is as dear to him as life ITSELF
has been torn from him by the ruthless hand Of
this demon Of Plyto-the Slanderer ?-Mdin'
