love for Lionel was just strong enough
to torment without killing her so as an
inevitable consequence she lived on year
after year, fretful, fractions, old maid.
Violet was shocked at Lionel's treach
cry, but in losing him she gained a
dearer friend; for Henry, who came
home about the time of Lionel's depar-
ture, in trying to soothe Violet in her
affliction found solace for his own, and
in short Violet and Henry were married,
and we need not add, were none the less
happy for their former trying, yet tran
sient sorrows.

ynoA THE IRisH OF BILLY o'RoURKE.
Bachelors Hall, what queer looking place
it is!
Kape me from such all the days Of my
life:
Sure. but 1 think what burning disgrace
il is,
Never at all to be getting q wife.
See the old bachelor gloomy and sad enough,
Placing his takettle over the FIRE:
Soon it slips over: st. Patrick! he is mad
enough,
uf he were presently to fight with the
squire.
Now like hog in mortar bed wallowing,
awkward enough) see him knading his
dough-;
Quoth if the bread he could ate without
swallowing,
Why IL would favor his palate, you know.
His dishcloth is missing, the pigs are devour-
ing il,
In the pursuit he has battered his shin:
A plate wanted washing, grimalkin is scour-
ing it,
Thunder and turf, what pickle he's in.
Pots, dishes, and pans, such crazy COM
moditics,
Ashes and pratie-skins cover his floor;
His cupboard's . store-house of comical
oddities,
Things that had never been neighbors
before.
His meal being Ger, the tables left setting
so;
Dishes take care of yourselves IL you can /;
But hunger returns, then he's fumming and
fretting so;
Och (; let him alone for the baste Of man.
Late in the night then he goes to bed shiv-
erin,
Never the bit is the bed made at all
He creeps like a tsrripin under the kiverin',
Bad luck to the picture of Bachalor's Hall

Are the stars fock of lambkins,
Which Craze, when the suns clear light
Has gone, In the blue fields Of heaven,
Their shepherdcss, the Night'
Or are they silver lilies,
Which open their vases fair,
And waft their slumbsr-fragrance
Through oil the weary air'
Or are they waxsn tapers,
Which on Nights high alter shine,
when the spacious dome of midnight
Is Alled with the darkness divine'
No!-they are silver letters,
With which the Angel Of Love
Has written her glorious anthems
IN Heavens blue book above!

"Thou willest then, Oh, my father ?"

sinking on his knees. cit is my part
to implore thy pardon for having dis

through his tears as he raised his son
from the ground, could l refuse to par

" Father, young people often deceive
themselves in the choice of career;
and to be acknowledged and respected,
their vocation has need of more than
one trial. All the severity you ever
showed me was concentrated in your
adherence to very prudent opinion
that wise maxim which says
Rather be good artizan than q
artist
" You were right, my father, and yet

to act as l have done. There are ex-
ceptions to every rule"

inflated the boy into the first rules of

o adopt that career. "Return thanks

highest order; he is also one of the
most skillful engravers, architects and

MACMILLAN has named him first painter

The Goldsmith of Nure mberg,
TRANSLATED BY THoMAslNE.

1t was beautiful October day, in tn
year l49s, and large group of inquisi
tive idlers and strangers had collecte,
round one of the pillars in front of tn
Hotel de Vile, at Nuremberg. Thil
pillar was almost entirely covered by an
enormous placard, on which you might
read the following:-
JOSEPH DRUER,
GOLDSMITH OF THIS CITY,
Informs his fellow citizens, that he will
hold this evening, in his Shop, in
the place de rHorloge, gen
eral sale of the objects of
Art, in gold and sill
yer which he
possesses.
The list Of those articles is too ex-
tensive to be here set forth.
The sale will commence
at four in the after
noon.
"What 7" exclaimed one of the by
standers, who by the fashion and rich.
ness of his attire appeared to be foreign
er of rank, and who was visibly affected
as he spoke
"What the rich goldsmith, Druer,
obliged to bring to public sale the mar
vellous creations of his art By what
strange casualty has he been reduced
to this harsh extremity -,
Probably you do not know, signor," {"
replied an artizan, 6 Joseph Druer has
made the greatest sacrifices to sustain
the house of his son -in-law, lately one of
the first merchants in Lubbock. This
merchant has fed, leaving his house
considerably in debt, and it is to remedy
this disaster; It is to save the honor of
his grandchildren, to preserve to them a
pure and stainless name-that the good
old man parts from his precious works,
which were the joy and. pride of his age )
those masterpieces which, from long
had become in some sort
identified with his existence. This
noble and upright conduct is very
worthy of loyal citizen of Nuremberg,
and has excited strong and general
public feeling in his favor. But where
fore must a disagreeable reminiscence
be mingled with this concert of praises,
and interfere, in some degree, with the
exhibition of his unanimous sympathy."I
"Might 1 without indiscretion, ask
you for an explanation of your last
words :" said the richly clad stranger
to his informant.
"Freely, signor. You must know,
then, that Joseph Druer had three sons
and one daughter. THE girl he gave in
with great fortune, to the
who has just failed His two
eldest sons, by incredible exertions and
sacrifices on his part, were placed, one
at the court of the Elector of Bavaria,
the other at the Grand Duke of Weimar.
There they met with a brilliant and
rapid success, and soon forgol their old
father, whose plain, honest bourgeois
name they have exchanged for the {
titles of Count and Baron"
"And what became of the third
son 7" L
"Albert 7" resumed the artizan.
g Why, Albert, poor fellow, longed to ,
be an artist, and Joseph Druer opposed
the notion altogether.
"Thou shalt be goldsmith like me,"I
said he when the boy implored him for
pencil and canvas, cor else thou shalt
leave my house, for l will not support
thee unless thou learnest under my eyes
TO handle the chisel and the graver !"
"And what happened to him :" said
the stranger. II
"Why, it happened that, one fine
