The following is vouched for as truth by
the London Alhenaum During the visit of
this child of song to Bath, she happened 10
be walking with friend in front of the
almshouses, into one of which she entered.

herself, but IN reality 10 tiud some excuse
ior doug an act Of charity TO the old woman
who lived in ii aud whom she had seen
feeble and lottering at the door. The old
woman, like the rest of her neishbors, was
full of the Swedish Nightingale, whom She
heard was just ,hen in Bath, entertaining
with her voice all those who were so happy
and fortunate as to be able TO 60 TO The thea
tire.
For myself said the old woman. Il
have lived Il long time in the world, and de-
sire nothing before die but TO hear Jenny
Lind
And would it make YOU happy ? inquir-
ed her visitor.
Ay, that it would answered the old wo-
man bur such folks as | can't GO to The
playhouse, and so shall never hesr her.
Don't he too sure OF that said the good
naIured Jenny sill down my friend and
listen !; and forthwith she sang with all her
richest and mos, glorious powers, one of the
finest songs she knew. The poor old wo-
man was beside herself with delight, when
alter concluding her song, her kind visitor
observed, now you have heard Jenny Lind
II she had given the woman a hundred
pounds, she could not have afforded her half
So much pleasure. Ii was an act of noble
charity, of the renderest and most delicate
kind. Money II would have been easy for
her 10 give, and money no doubt did she
give; bu, TO sit down in an almShouse. and
there 10 call up the entertainments OF her
voice Tor the amusement of an obscure and
poor cid woman, was touching proof of
goodness of heart, which nothing we have
heard of Jenny Lind surpasses.

The Ballot Box DiSregarded.

About one year ago, the Wings o. The en-
terprisng and beautiful village OF Woodstock
Vermont, became intensely excited upon the
momentous question of Posi- Master of that
growing place. Ii was the great issue of the
day. The revolutions that were topping
European thrones down, sank iuto utter in
significance. The Slavery question, the sta
blity of The Union--what were they compar-
ed with the vital one OF postmaster of Wood
stock? The integrity of the conlederacy
hung upon its adjustment, and il became in
disPensable that the agitaling subject should
be Withdrawn from the arena of national
controversy.
Accordingly Wing town meeting was
called TO ballot for postmaster. There was
an immense rush, aud The electoneering
proceeded vigorously. So intense was the
excitement, and unfortunately so divided was
public sentiment, that two ballots was neces-
sary. On the second trial, victory perched
upon the banners of one Dean Fairbanks
not descendant of Dean Swift, by the way
He had l03 votes and one George b. War
rem, who on the first ballot had three voles,
had none. Great was the shout that went up
heavenward. The country was saved :
That awful element OF strife was Withdrawn
from the cabinet councils, and harmony
again spread lis golden wings over The eight
presidents of old Zach's administration
The apple dscord had rolted TO the core, anu
the seeds were burned in the fire OF brother
ly love.
But, alas
How frail are all things here below,
How false, and yet how fair =
Disappointment bIighted the fair hopes of
Mr.. Fairbanks. Postmaster General Cola
mar was notified of the result, but the more
they called the more Collamar wouldn't send
that commission. He paid no more respect
to Fairbanks than 10 the Pooduck clam
banks.
A year thus rolled away, and hope defer
red made Mr.. Fairbanks, heart sick

Perseverance,,


A swallow in the spring
Came TO eur granary, and meath the caves
E>sayed to make nest, and there did bring
Wet earth, and straw. and leaves.
Day after day she roiled
With patient heart; but ere her work was
crowned.
Some sad mishap the tiny fabric spoiled,
And dashed it to the ground.
She found the ruin wrought,
But not cast down, forth from the place she
few,
And, with her mate, fresh earth and grasses
brought
And built her nest anew.
But scarcely had she placed
The last soft feather on its ample floor,
When wicked hand. or chance, again laid waste
And wrought the ruin DER
But still her heart she kept,
And toiled again and last night. hearing calls,
l looked, and 10 three little swallows slep,
Within the earth made walls.
What truth is here, 0 man!
Hath hope been smitten in its early dawn
Have clouds o'ercast thy purpose, trust or plan
Have FAITH and struggle on.
