INES ON THE DEATH OF A LADY.
,Tfs Spring, and flowers will bloom again,
And birds return with merry strain,
And streams awake and dance along
With truant pride and echoing song:
The gloomy clouds will pass away
And azure form the arch Of day,
And deeper blue adorn the night
with moon and stars of sacred light.
Rut hou-the loved, the fair-no more
Green hill or vale shall wander DER;
And song, and bloom, and sky may be
A Joy and pride-but not for thee!
Oh, sweet in ether years the Spring
When Hope was gay, and swift Of wing
And sought the smiling world around,
And offered all of bliss she found -
When friends, who shared thy tender breast
With look and voice their love confess'd:-
Alas! tbs dark and silent now
They drop in tears,-and where art thou!
Behold! the scene is grand and fair!
Look father! for thy child is there!
And bark the hymn-the music tone,-
She stands before Jehovah's throne! ZoNA

FEMALE SERvANrs.-The temptations
TO which female servants are exposed, es-

~ numerous. The thief, the pedlar. the
fortune teller, and the libertine, alike reck-
on upon them as their prey. Nor is their
danger exclusively from without. The
love of dress-.he lax state of morals
which exists among the great majority OF
female domeslics, and the unrestralned
and unrestricted communication which
commonly occurs with their fellow serv-
ants.of the opposite sex. with their irregu-
lar and dissipa,ed habits of many of their
employers-are temptations great and
powerful, before which many female serv-
ants fall. and make shipwreck of character
and of a good conscience. From inqui-
ries at our various peni,entiaries, !. has
been ascer,ained that three-fourlh OF their
female inmates have been domestic serv.

THE WIFE FOR ME.

Domestic virtues share part;
Not fond of gaudy dress or show,
To please some fopnish. scnselcss beau;
VINO rather at her work I've seen,
Than pace the town with naughty mieD,
Addressing every male she meets,
In hustle mart or crowded streets;
But one intelligent and kind,
With every virtue well refined,
Who loves her home, and there will shine,
A devotee to VISIONS shrine;
Such if meet, true she will be,
And make happy wife for me.

vile Tropical Plant gives the following
sketch Of the noted Sam Jones:
This celebrated Seminole chief and
fisherman has proved himself to be one Of
the mos, consummate generals and skilful
warriors that ever existed in any age
With handful Of men and squaws, he
has baffled, for the past seven years, the
most experienced. successful and dis,ln-
guishd of our military commanders and
naval lieuenan,s. and now roa,ns free and
unmolested on the glorious shore Of the
Florida Atlantic. and the romantic and fer
Tile isles of the Everglade-an unrestrain-
ed ,rapper of the ST. Lucia and Jupiter
hunting grounds. and skilful adept of the
we'll stocked ranches Of the Locha Hatch
es-a terror to wrecked crews, and a dan
gerous all dfearful neighbor to the hardy
South Florida settlers. Of our knowledge,
Sam has not been visible 10 the pale faces
since '37, and nothing definite has been
received from him until lately when at the
polite request Of Gen. Worth for him to
"oome in," he returned the uncourteous
answer " tustenuggee wahoo bosh -
which literally means. when translated,
''l'il see you hanged first"
