Given up TO Sadness.

Winds Of the summer twilight hour
Whence came your tones mysterious power
Ye bear no griefs DER which to pine,
Nor vet a heart to melt at mine;
Yet oh sweet winds that bear your tone
Like sighs DER some heart broken one
1e whispering zephyrs wandering free
That mourn so sweeily- mourn for me
And YOU, We waves with murmurs sweet,
Soft sighing as ye kiss my feet.
liow like to mine your troubled breast,
That heaves and sighs, and knows no resi-
list your melancholy swell,
That with my sad heart suits so we'll
Oh, murmuring waters, wild and free,
That sigh so sweetly-sigh for me |!
And you We gentle dews that fall,
As twilight drops her dusky pail
Ye trembling dew gems-tears of even
That seek 10 bring balm from heaven.
Say--weep We for the sad ones sake
Who bears heart that's fit to break!
Then dews ftwilight-falling free
That weep so soltly--weep for me

Anecdote of stephen Girard.

The following capital aiiecdoe illustrative
of the pecuarities of the late Stephen Grad,
of Philadelphia, is from the New Bedford Msr-
curry:
"Mr. G. had favorile clerk, one who svery
way pleased him, and, who, " hen at riie ags
Of lwenly-one years, expected Mr.. 6. to say
something 10 him in regard TO his future pros
Pecis, and perhaps lend him helping hand in
starting, him in the world. Bdi Mr. g. said
no,hing, carefully avoiding The subject of his
escape from minority. AT length, after the
lapse of some weeks the clerk mustered cour-
age enough TO address Mr.. G. upon the sub
ject,
| suppose, SIR said the cletk, 81 am free;
and-I though, | would say something to you
as to my future course What do you think
had better do?'
Yes, yes, know you are free,' said Mr.. G.
and my vdsice 10 You is ,ha, you GO and learn
coopers trade
This announcement well nigh threw the
clerk of the track: bul recovering his equili-
brium, he said if Mr.. G. was iu earnest, he
would do so.
8 | am in earnest and the clerk rather hesi-
ta,ng'y sought one of the best coopers, agreed
with hip. upon the terms of apprenticeship, and
went al it in good earnest, and in course oi time
ma9e as good barrel as any one. He wSa!
End told Mr.. g. that he had graduated with all
the honors of the craft, and was ready TO set
up his business a, which tie old man seemed
gralified, and told him to make three Of The best
barrels he could get up. The young cooper
selected the best materials, and soon pul into
shape and finished three Of The bes, barrels, and
wheeled them up 10 the old mans counting
room. Mr.. G. said The barrels were 6fst rate,
and demanded the price.
One dollar said the clerk, is as low as
can live by
Cheap enough said his employer, make
out your bill and present IT,
And now comes the cream Of The whole
Mr.. G. drew check for $40, 900, aud handing
i. TO the clerk cooper, closed with ihe.e words
There, take that, and inves, i, III the best
possible way. and if you are utifo,,una'e anil
