In the meantime, MIR. Jones, in pet, leaves

been in search. Half the afternoon passes
before he gets over his ill humor, and then he
does rot feel happy. Mrs. Jones is by no
means comfortable in mind She is sorry
that she spoke so roughly, although she does
not acknowledge, even to HERSELF that she had

POWER OF WORDS.

The American Review has an article on w ords. |
We make the following extract therefrom:
"All classes appear TO depend upon words.
Principles are nothing in comparison with speech.
A politician Is accused of corruption, inconsistent
cy, and loving number more than number ten
thousand. Straightway he floods the country
with words, and lie is honorably acquitted. A
gentleman Of far-reaching and purse-reaching in
telligence concocts twenty millions Of pills, and
works them of to agents, and, in the end, trans
fers the whole from his laboratory to the sio-
machs of an injured and oppressed people by
means of-words. Miss A. slabs the spotess
name OF Mrs. p. with word setto. The poi
sonous breath of venomous fanatic moulds itself
into syllables, and 10! sect Of Christians is
struck with leprosy. An author wishes to be
sublime, bu, has no fire in him to give sparkle
and heat TO his compositions. His ideas are
milk-and-w neutrality-suspicious., common place,
nerveess, and wltless, and soulless; or his
thoughts are balasted with lead instead of being
winged with inspiration. What shall do 2 he
cries, in the most plaintve tones of aspiring STU
pidity. Poor poelaster! do not despair take to
thy dctionary-drench thy thin blood with gin
learn the power of words. Pile the Pelion of
Rant on the Ossa of Hyperbole, and the small
fraction of TTie shall be exalted to the heights of
the Sublime; and the admiring gaze of many
people stall be fixed upon it, and the coin shall
jingle in thy pocket, and thou shalt be denomna-
Ted Great! But il thy poor pate be incapable of
the daring, even in expression, then grope dubi-
| ously III the dismal swamps of verbiage, and let
thy minds finger feel after spongy and dropsica
words, out Of which little sense can be squeezed,
and arrange the oozy epiihets and unsubsianiial
substan,ives into lines and out Of the very depths
OF Balhos thou shall, arise mud Venus, and men
shall mistake thee for her that rose from the sea,
and the coin shall sill clink in thy fob, and thou
shalt be called Beautiful Such is the o.nnipo-
tence of words They Can sxat the little; they
can dePress the high; ponderous polysylable
Will break the chain Of an argument. or crack the
pate OF thought, as mace or a battle-axe could
split the crown ola soldier in the elder time.
"Words head armies, overthrow dynasiies,
man ships, separate families, cozen cozeners, and
steal hearts and purses. And if physiologists
and me,aphysicians are driven into a corner, and
are compelled to give the real distinction between
human beings and animals, they are almost sure
to say it consists in the power of speech--in the

AN OLD STORY WITH A GOOD LESSON.


AN OLD STORY WITH GOOD LESSON.
When Darby the setting sun,
He swung his scythc, and home he run
Sat down, drank of his pint, aud said.
"NIy work is done, I'll go to bcd.''
My work is done !" roared Joan,
." My work is done y your constant touo
But hapless woman ne'cr can say
MY work is done,' till judgment day."
Here Darby hemm'd, and scratched hi, head.
To answer what his Joan had said
But all in vain, her cfack went on.
"Ycs, woman's work is never done y"
At early dawn, ere Phebus rose,
Old Joan resumed her tales of woes;
When Darby said, "I'll end the strife,
Be you the man, and l the wife
Take you the scythc and NOW, while
Will all your boosted cares supply -
"Content 70 quoth Joan "give me thy flint )"
This Darby did, and out she went
Darby arose, and seized the broom,
And whrld the dirt about the room
Which having done he scarce knew how,
He hicd to milk the brndlc cow.
The brindle cow whisk'd round her tail
In Darby's eyes, and kick'd the pail;
The clown, perplex'd with grief and pain,
Sworc he'd nc'er try to milk again
When turning round, in sad amaze,
He saw his cottage in blaze
For as he Glanced to brush the room,
In careless haste, he fired the broom.
The fire at last subdued, he sworc
Prcssd by misfortune, and pcrplex'd,
Darby prepared for breakfast next;
But what to get he scarcely knew,
The bread was spent, the butter too;
His hands bcdaubcd with paste and flour,
Old Darby labor'd full an hour
But, haplcss wight he could not make
The dough take form Of loaf or cake.
AS every door wide open stood,
I'm came the sow in quest Of food,
AND stumbling onward, with her snout
O'crsct the churn-thc cream ran out.
AS Darby turned, the to beat,
The slippery cream betrayed his feet;
He caught the bread trough in his fall,
And down came Darby, trough and all
The children Weakened by the clattcr,
Start up and cry, ia what's the matter -
Old Jowler barkcd, and Tabby mewcd,
And hspess Darby bawlcd aloud
"Rcturn, my Joan, heretofore,
I'll play theTdouscwife's part no more
Since now by sad experience taught,
Compared 10 thine, my work is naught.
Hcncciorth, as business calls, I'll take
Content the plough, the scythe, the rake
And never will transgress the line
Our fates have marked, while thou art mine
I'll vex thy honest soul no more
BY scolding, as I've done before
Let each our proper task attend
Forgive the past, aud try 10 mend"

LOVE AND ROMANCE.

The following is the prettiest little roman
tic incident we have met with for some
time-though we have met with it before:
"Thomas A. Beckett inherited romantic
is singular one. His father Gilbert Beckett,
a hourlshing citizen, had been in his youth
a soldier in the crusades, and being taken
prisoner, became slave to an Emir, or Sara
cen prince. By degrees he obtained the con-
idence Of his master, and was admitted to his
company, where he met a person who became
more attached to him. This was the Emir's
daughter. Whether by her means or not,
does not appear, but after some time he con-
trived to escape. The lady with loving heart
followed him. She knew they say, but two
words of his language, London and Gilbert,
and oy repeating the former, she obtained a
passage in a vessel, arrived in England, and
found her way to the metropolis. She then
took her other talisman, and went from street
to street, pronouncing Gilbert a crowd
collected about her wherever she went, ask
ing, of course, thousand questions, and to
all she mad but one auswer-'Gilbert! Gil
bertD She found her faith in it sufficient.
Chance, or her determination TO 90 through
every street, brought her a, last TO the one in
which he who had won her heart in slavery, was
now living in good condition. The crowd
drew the family TO the window his servant
recognized her; and Gilbert Beckett took to
his arms and his bridal bed his far come prin-
cess with her solitary fond word.'
