pN@W@Y,
OH, | DID LOVE HER DEARLY.

BY OLIVER WENDALL HOLMES.
Oh! did love her dearly,
And gave her toys and rings,
And | thought she meant sincerely
When she took my pretty things:
But her heart has grown as icy
AS a fountain in the fall,
And her love, that was so spicy,
It did not last at all.
Igave her once locket,
Il was filed with my own hair,
And she put it in her pocket
With very special care.
But a jeweller has got it
He offered it to me,
And another that is not it
Around her neck see.
For my cooings and my billings
do not now complain,
But my dollars and my shillings
Will never come again.
They were earned with toll and sorrow,
But | never told her that,
And now have to borrow,
And want another hat.
Think, think thou cruel Emma,
When thou shalt hear my woe,
And know my sad dilemma,
That thou hast made il so.
See, see my beaver rusty,
Look, look upon this hole,
This coat is dim and dusty;
o let 1t rend thy SOUL
Before the gates of fashion .
/ daily bent my knees,
But sought the shrine of passion,
And found my idOl-thee
Though never love intenser,
Had bowed a soul before il,
Thine eye was on the censor,
And not the hand that bore it.

Washim gtOm with his mother
FOR THE LAST TIM I


Who that has parted with an aged motE.
er, and received her last blessing as he was
about 10 go forth into land of strangers 10
seek home for himself, can read the fol-
lowing last interview between Washington
and his mother, and suppress the rising tear
that starts unbidden, al the remembrance Of
such a scene. Time may dim the recollec.
ton of many of the incidents of youth when
we come in contact with the world, but
there is a magic in the mothers voice-the
well-remembered tone of admiration, her
kindness aud unceasiug care will rise up be-
fore him who loved her, and follow him as
a guardian angel in all the varied scenes of
life. Happy the man who was blessed with
such mother, and loved her-happier he
who. having such. forgets not her love, her
kindness and instructions.
Immediately after the organization of the
present Government, Gen. Washington re-
paired TO Fredericksburg, to pay his hum.
BILE duty to his mother preparatory to his
departure for New York. An affecting
scene ensued. The son feelingly marked
the ravagts tortuing disease had made
upon the ged frame ofhiS mother, and thus
addressed her:
"The people, madam, have been pleased,
with the most fatlering unanimity, to elect
me to the Chief Magistracy of the United
States, but before I can assume the AUCTIONS
Of tina office. have come TO bid you an af-
fec,ionate farewell. So soon as the public

somewhat prepared for better. But go,
George, fulfil the high destinies which Heav-
en- appears to assign you; 60, my son. and
may Heavens and your mothers blessing
be with you always"
The President was deeply affected. His
head rested on the shoulder OF his parent
That brow, on which Fame had wreathed
the purest laurel virtue ever gave to created
man, relaxed from its lofty bearing. That
look, which could have awed Roman Sen

He had become seriously worse during

al HATE THAT MAN"

Groundless prejudices are often imbibed
and INDUCED. by one person against another
without reason aid against right.
{" hate that man." says one.
"Why do you hate him 4? Did he ever in.
jure you in character or in person ?"
No-but don't fancy him?"
"Do you know him"
No-neither do ] want to-"
"That is just the way of the world. A
stranger passes by and we form an opinion
Of hm-if favorable, when an opportunity
presents, we speak TO him, draw him into
conversation, and finally become his friend.
If unfavorable, we avoid him. If he asks
us question, we answer by quick mono
syllable, and have no desire to seek his ac'
quaintance. Is this ri ght, just or honest?
There are scores of men we dislike, because
we are not acquainted with their characters,
and by the dislike we have taken to them
seek no opportunities Of ar acquaintance.
Such course is ungentlemanly, unchriI-
iian and savage.
" 1T is not the looks nor the general APP
pearance Of the person that makes the heart
good or bad. The plainest man We know OF
possesses the best heart we ever become &C,
quainted with, The homelest woman of our
acquaintance is the most affectiOnate, kind
and admirable of her sex. At first sight
you would turn away from these excellent
persons, not dreaming that the outward APP
pearance is not an irdex Of the heart. in
future we trust you will be governed more
by truth and justice, and not condemn and
hate one you do not know, and against
whose character a word ofreproach was new

THE YOUNG LANDLoRD.-One Of the best
and soundest lawyers that ever sat on the
bench of Massachusetts was Judge p.
He was always distinguished tor the urban
ity of his manners and the true benevolence
of his spirit; and the story have now to
relate illustrates, quite forci5ly, this charac-
teristic.
Judge p. was raised in Barnstable, and
at the time we refer to, assisted his mother,
as much as possible, in keeping country
inn a mode Of subsistence to which she
had been driven by the death of her hus-
band.
Che evening a way. worn traveller, armed
with bundle suspended from cane, enter
ed the inn and asked for something to eat.
His dress was not calculated 10 impress a
beholder with any vast ideas of wealth ;
but rather of one who lived Ivy travelling on
foot and begging nights Logging from be-
nevolent inn-keepers. Mrs.P. cast glance
at the traveller, and seeing his shabby coat,
formed pretty accurate estimate OF his a

She left the room to examine her larder,
and in short time returned, and having

Our traveller attacked the beef, and afle:
