Last Moments of Richter.

Noon had by this time arrived. Richter,
thinking it was night, said-''it was time to
go to rest!' and wished to retire. He was
wheeled into his sleeping apartment, and all
was arranged as ii for repose; a small table
near his bed, with a glass of water, and his
two watches, a common one and a repeater.
His wife now brought him a wreath of flow
ers that a lady had sent him-for every one
wished TO add some charm to his last days.
As he touched them carefully-for he could
neither see nor smell them-he seemed to re-
ioice in the images of the flowers in his mind,
for he said repeatedly to Caroline-' NY
beautiful flowers, my lovely flowers J"
Although his friends sat around his bed,
as he imagined it was night, they conversed
no longer; he arranged his arms as if pre-
pairing for repose, which was to him the re-
pose of death, and soon sunk into a tranquil
sleep.
Deep silence pervaded the apartment. Car
oline sat at the head of the bed, with her eyes
immovably fixed on the face of her beloved
husband. Otto had retired, and the nephew
sat with Plato's PhRdOn in his hand, open at
the death Of Socrates. At thai moment a tall
and beautiful form entered the chamber and,
at the foot of the bed, with his hands raised
to heaven, and deeply moved, he repeated
aloud the prayer of his Mosaic faith. 1t was
Emanuel, and, next to Otto, the most beloved
of Richter's friends.
About six o'clock the physician entered.-
Richter yet appeared to sleep; his features
became every moment holier, his brow more
heavenly, but it was cold as marble to the
touch; and as the tears of his wife fell upon
it, he remained immovable. At length his
respiration became less regular, but his fea-
lures always calm, more heavenly. A slight
IconvuIsion passed over the face; The physi.
clan cried out, ''That is death ~ and all was
quiet. The spirit had departed
All sank, paying, upon their knees. This
moment, that raised them above the earth
with the departing spirit, admitted of nc
tears
"Thus Richter went from the earth, great
and holy as a poet, greater and holier as q
man /"

The Little Girl and her Dog.

A Memphis correspondent of the New Or
leans Commercial Times, relates the follow
ing beautiful little incident as occurring a
short time ago in that city. 1t seems the
city Marshals had been for several days car
rying on a crusade against the dogs.
"a little girl playing with two ~favorite dogs,
left them for a few moments, and on her re-
turn saw the marshal approaching them gun
in hand. By commands and entreaties she
succeeded in getting one of them beyond the
reach of danger, INSIDE of a gate) but was
too late to assist the other in eliecting his
retreat. The marshal had now approached
within shooting distance, and took deadly
aim at the dog. For one instant the sweet
child hesitated, and the contending emotions
of personal apprehensions and love for her
playmate, were legibly depicted on her beau
tiful face it was but for one moment-the
next, and with a bound, she had reached her
friend, and clasped him round the neck, for
ming a complete shield to him from the mes
senger of death, and exclaiming all the time,
in the most thrilling accents of duplication,
but still with the look of a youthful POca-
hontas, 'he's not mad, Mr.. Marshal-he's NOT
mad The marshal brought his gun over
to the shoulder, came TO the about face and
marched off, remarking to a gentleman, that
he would not kill HAT dog for all the may
ors and aldermen in creation"

The Honest Boy.

A gentleman from the country placed his
son with adry-goods merchant in - street.
For a time all went well. At length a lady
came to the store to purchase a silk dress, and
the young man waited on her. The price de-
manded was agreed to, and he proceeded to
fold the goods. He discovered, before he had
finished, a flaw in the silk, and pointing it
out to the lady, said, MADAM, | deem it my
duty to tell you there is a fracture in the
silk
OF course she did not take it.
The merchant overheard the remark, and
Immediately wrote to the father of The young
man to come and take him home for said
he, She will never make a merchant
The father, who had ever reposed conf
dence in his son, was much grieved, and has
tened to be informed of his deficiencies.-
why will he not make a merchant asked
he.
because he has no TACT was the answer.
'Only a day or two ago, he told a lady volun-
tarily, who was buying silk Of him, that the
goods were damaged, and l lost the bargain.
Purchasers must look out for themselves. If
they cannot discover flaws, it would be fool
ishness for me to tell them of their exist
ence.'
And is that all his fault2' asked the pa
rent.
Yes answered the merchant, she is very
well in other respects
Then love my son better than ever; and
! thank you for telling me of the matter; l
would not have him another day in your store
for the world

smilingly said, ''You cannot be set at liberty

Brother and Sister.

A French paper says that Lucille Romeo,
a pretty little girl with blue eyes and fair hair,
poorly but neatly clothed, was brought before
the Sixth Court Of Correction under a charge
Of vagrancy.
"Does any one claim you?" asked the mag
istrate.
'Ah! my good SIR said she, 81 have no
longer any friends my father and mother are
dead have only my brother James, but he
is as young as am. Oh, dear what could
he do for met"
"The Court must send you TO the House
of Correction"
'Here am, sister-here am! do not fear!"
cried a childish voice from the other end of
the court. And at the same instant a little
boy, with a sprightly countenance, started
forth from amidst the crowd, and stood before
the Judge.
''Who are you?" said he.
'James Romeo, the brother of this poor
little girl"
"Your age!"
''Thirteen.
"And what do you WANT"
81 come TO claim Lucille"

"Oh, how good you are, James!'
"But let us see, my boy" said the magis-

some explanation"
"Aboui a fortnight ago, sir" continued the
boy, "my poor mother died of bad cough,

TIE INDIAN.

He stood on the hill where his fathers had
stood
And gazed on the plains, the fields and the
wood
But the smoke of the wigwam had faded in
air,
And the shout of the warrior no longer was
there.
The forests were gone, and the wild deer
had fled !;
The mounds were u~pturned that had covered
the dead;
The stream and the lake rose to his view,
Where the sport Of his youth was the light
bark canoe.
But the track of the white man was seen on
the shore;
In the field was his plough, in the stream
was his oar;
And the focks of the farmer were cropping
their food,
Where the bark-covered hut of the warrior
had stood.
Then, the last of the red men, he FASTENED
away
From the graves where the bones Of his fore
fathers lay,
To the grass-covered plains of the far-distan
West,
There alone in the desert unhonored to rest

THE ERRING.

Think gently Of the Erring!
Ye know not of the power
With which the dark temptation came
In some unguarded hour.
Ye may not know how earnestly
They struggled, or how well,
Until the hour Of weakness came,
And sadly thus they fell.
Think gently Of the Erring!
Oh do not thou forget,
However darkly stained by sin,
He is thy brother yet.
Heir TO the self-same heritage!
Child of the self-same God!
He hath but stumbled in the path,
Thou hast in weakness trod.
Speak gently TO the Firing!
For is it not enough
That innocence and peace are gone,
Without the censure rough?
II sure must be a weary lot.
That sin-crushed heart to bear
And they who share a happier fate
Their chidings well may spare.

POETRY.
From the Morning Star.
THE FLIGHT OF THE SLAVE.

THE FLIGHT OF THE SLAVE.
Low in the West the crescent moon
Pours down her silvery light,
And twinkling stars come one by one,
To deck the brow of night;
The birds have ceased their evening song,
And camly sunk to sleep
And DER the willow fringed stream,
The winds of midnight sweep.
This is the hour-the holy hour,
When men forget their care,
For sleep, a balmy opiate, pours
Upon the dewy air;
And many a wretch, who wakes to weep,
Doth now forget his tears:
And many a bright and blessed dream
The careworn spirit cheers.
But now the wrongcd and hunted slave,
Whose heart for freedom yearns,
Doth gaze, with wild and anxious eye,
Where the North Star dimly burns;
And now, while others calmly sleep,
With hasty step he fees;
Trembling at every shadowy form,
And every signing breeze.
His back is scanned with many a scar,
A brand his forehead bears,
And on his ankle worn and sore,
The shackle's span appears;
But he has heard that freedoms star
Beams Ger a distant land,
Where even Afric's sable sons,
Their rights, as men demand.
Hopes, strange and new, his bosom thrill,
And light his care-worn brow;
He seems to breathe the blessed air
OF freedom even now.
Though faint with hunger and with toll,
He presses on his way,
For well he knows, the morning light
Will wake the bloodhounds' bay.
He presses on-but morning dawns,
And freedoms star grows dim -
TIE birds awake their matin songs
But what are they to him?
All things around are glad and free,
And all are fair and bright,
But dearer, doarer far to him,
Were the shadows of the night.
And like a wild and hunted deer,
He seeks the darkest dell,
Where ancient pines, and hemlocks grow,
And poisonous serpents dwell =
Where undisturbed the savage beast
Doth make his lonely den 3
Less feared by him,-that flying slave
Than homes of Christian men.
He crouchos mid the tangled vines,
Concealed from every eye;
He hears the hungry panther scream,
And sees the wolf pass by
He needs them not--a deadlier fear
Thrills every nerve with pain,
And more, far more than death, he breads
The whip and Ceiling chain.
Thus many a day he lies concealed,
And many a night ne flies,
His only guide, that holy star,
Which beameth in the skies.
Nor dearer seemed to ~Israel's sons
The fire and pillar dim,
Which guided all their wandering way,
Than seems that star to him.
The gaol is won-the prize is gained
The holy, priceless prize!
His foot is on Victoria's soil;
And DER him freedoms skies,-
Look up thou worn and weary mani
Thy letters now are riven,
Thy God hath kindly led thee on,
To him let praise be given!

THE HEART AND THE SwoRD.-It is re-
corded of the Duke of Luxemburg, that he
would have cherished more deeply the mem
DRY Of having given a cup of cold water TO one
of his fellow-creatures inpoverty and distress,
than all the victories he had achieved, with
their scenes of blood, desolation and death.
An admirable lesson is conveyed in this brief
expression Of opinion;
Heart-work is better than head work; and
it is better temper to be fervent in charity
than in disputes.
