A FASHIONABLE WIFE.

A BRIEF STORY WITH A GOOD MORAL.
You know. my dear, am spoiled child |

a beautiful bride 10 her adoring husband.
Ii was a matter of consequence 10 Finlay
that she should not have her own way this time.
II was the first time her wiil-hat odious, pos
tive word-had made its appearance, and now
was the very time to crush, to subdue it, before
it had llerculean strength.
Finay was young lawyer Of fine talents,
just getting into extensive practice ; it wax ne.
cessary that he should remain in the city, but
strong necessity was upon him, his cara sposa
would go 10 the country, 10 be present at the
wedding OF a friend.
But dearest, sou know have several i'm

which should find its instant way to woInan's
heart.
N'imporie; let them 90. You will have some-
thing besides clients to live upon, you know,
some oI these days.
There was much pridc little sense, and great
wan, of feeling in this speech. Mrs. Finlay's
expectations depended upon kind indulgcn' ia.
lher, during whose lifetime they could not be
realized. Fiulay let it jar upon his hsar'.slrings
and vibra,e to the very core, but he excused it,
or set il aside. She is beautiful lhoughtless
creature, she cannot be unfeeling.'

Finlay, i shall have exquisite pleasure in point

her notice. We must sometimes make sacri.
fees 10 those we love; leaving town, after all,
was matter Of little consequence

with fashionable friend, upon the spirit OF
their respective miliners. Il have seen the
tighlanders thousand times; all that roman.
tic stuff is out of fashion; quite outrp; nobody
talks of the beauties OF nature, but boarding
school misses
The repulsed Finlay left her, and took his
seat upon the deck with sigh.
Out of fashion, thought he, and his noble
forehead was wrinkled with frowns, his proud
lip curled, and a momeniary fash illuminated
his dark eyes with unwonted fire. Out o

PITY.

Woman may err-woman may give her mind
To evil thoughts, and lose her pure estate;
But for one woman who affronts her kind
By wicked passions and remo.seess hate,
A thousand make amends in age and youth,
By heavenly pity, by sweet sympathy,
BY patient kindness, by endearing truth,
By love supremest in adversely.
Theirs is tine task to succor the distressed,
To feed tie hungry and control the sad,
To pour the balm upon the wounded breast
And find dear Pity even for the bad.
Blessings on women! In the darkest day
Their love shines brightest in the perilous hour
Their weak hands glow with strength our feuds to
stay.
Blessings upon them! and ifman could shower
His condemnation on the few that err
Let him be calm and cease his soul to vex;
Think of his mother, and for the sake Of her
Forgive them all and bless theiI gentler sex.

The Dying Maiden to her Mother.
I am going home-Oh! mother press
Me fondly to thy heart,
In one last, long, and warm caress,
And let my soul depart,
Whilst locked within thy tender arms,
My head upon thy breast,
Life for me has no charms
l long to be at rest.
Then seek not mother, to detain
My spirit from the skies;
This feeble frame cannot contain
The hopes that now arise.
Hearest thou moi the songs Of praise!
How sweet they seem to flow
From Angels harps! divinsstl lays!
Dear mother, let me 60!
Weep not, mother, tear drops dim
The brightness ofmy home,
Lift thy thoughts in prayer to him,
Who bids thy daughter come.
She shall be first TO welcome thee,
In that bright land above.

severely beaten by its driver, who perceivIng
that the camel had treasured up The injury, and
was only waiting favorable opportunity for
revenge, kept strict watch upon the camel
Time passed away the camel, perceiVihg that
il was watched, was quiet and obedienI, and
the driver began to think that the beating was
forgotten, when one night, after the lapse of
several months, the man, who slept on raised

Satisfied that its revenge was complete, the
camel was returning to its corner, when the
driver sat up and spoke al the sound of bis
voice, and perceising the mistake 1t made, the
animal was so mortified at the failure and dis
covery of It's scheme, that il dashed Its head
against The wall, and died on the spot.

The camp has had its day Of song;
The sword, the bayonet, the plume
Have crowded out of rhyme too long
The plough. the anvil and the loom
Oh, not upon our tented fields
Are Freedoms heroes bred alone;
The training Of the workshop yields
More heroes true than War has known.
Who drives the bolt. who shapes the steel,
May, with heart as valiant, smite,
As he, who sees foeman reel
In blood before his blow of might!
The skill that conquers space and time,
That graces life, that lghtens toll,
May spring from courage more sublime
Than that which makes a realm it's spoil.
Let Labor, then, look up and see,
s His craft no pith of honor lacks;
The soldiers rifle yet shall be
Less honored than the woodmah's axe.
Let Art his own appointment prize,
Nor deem that gold or outward height
Can compensate the worth that lies
In tastes that breed their own delight
And may the time come nearer still
When men this sacred truth shall heed,
That from the thought and from the will
Must all that raises man proceed
Though pride should hold your calling low,
For US shall duty make it good,
And we from truth to truth shall GO,
Till life and death are understood.
