A Vision.

Wrapped in the gloom of night, the moon
obscured,
l looked in sadness on the murky skies;
Darkness had fall'n like solemn pail,
Upon the face Of all terrestrial things.
When swiftly as the clouds dispersed,
A bright and brilliant Southern star appcard
So bright and beautiful, that mine eyes
Were dazzcled and my desponding heart.
Felt cheered with the inspiring thought,
That henceforih joy, should rule the land,
And doubt and darkness ever disappear.
Bnt yet again, the skies were darkened,
The clouds of fearful omen clothed
The heavens in black when there arose
Another start ir the mid heavens,
And passing to the West, shed its sweet
Lustre o'er the scene.
Again the skies were d Tken'd moon and stars
Obscured; dark and universal gloom
Shut out the light ofhcaven,
And hope seemed now forever gone;
When Lo in the far Northt another star
hPPOatSo % iSStIouS, tIab an
Things seemed as in the light of day
Though no pervading signs of storm
Or tempest intervened, yet suddenly
There came cloud Of darkness
Der all the land that bright and brilliant
STIR, so full of joyousness, had disappeared
There fell a darkness so profound,
That sight itself seemed gone and all
Things bright and beautiful, must now de-
depend,
Not on what was, but what had been.
Yet sweet to say, while hope seemed dead,
And all was darkness and despair,
A Light! appear'd, faint, first and glimmering
In the Southern skies,-
Which gathered brightness as it rose,
Dispelled the darkness of the scene,
AMI chesre the truthful heart
To life again.

For THE LEDGER
OF Tell Ne Not!
By J. NJ. II.

Oh, tell me not of face that's fair
OF marble brow and nut brown hair,
Nor of an eye so heavenly bright,
1t mocks the gemming orbs of night
Nor coral lip-nor cheek so fair,
That roses bloom forever there.
But tell me of the bubbling fountains,
Or of the distant snow capp'd mountains,
Or of the Springs exulting green,
Where Flora's blooming bowers arc seen,
Where meath the ever genial skies,
Insence from fowery gardens rise.
Then paint no other charms again,
But let me seek the shady glen
Or balmy Southern orange grove,
Where bird and bee forever rove,
And sing gay songs the livelong day,
To Danish sorrow far away.
Then paint no other charms to me,
yield no more to phantasy,
/ bow no more at Loves sweet shrine,
Nor make an offering of mine;
I've passed the dreadful ordeal through,
And felt its direful settings too.
Those fair bright dreams are sadly past,
Too bright-too beautiful to last,
From the dim past sweet echos rise,
And urge me on to win the prize,
But hearts warm love once cast in vain,
Can ne'er be warmed to love again.

Sorrow.

The flowers live by the tears that fall,
From the sad face of the skies
And life would have no joys at all,
Were there no watery eyes.
Love thou thy sorrow grief shall bring
Its own excuse in after years -
The rainbow !-see how fair a thing,
God hath built up from tears.

Contempt OF Court.

An amusing incident occurred in y
courtroom, some years ago, in one Of
the back counties Of Mi. do not now
recollect whether | heard it related, or
read of it: but, amy way, It is too good
10 be lost. If it has ever been published,
beg pardon of the author Of the origi.
nal for using my own words in giving a
version of the matter, but | think it has
not.
The court, on the occasion alluded to,
was seated, and a case about to be tried.
Now, his honor, the Judge was man
we'll stricken in years, yet he could ride
:. race, shoot Il rifle, and deal as well as
the next man, and when not engaged in
his official duties, was exceeding atiable
with everybody. Indeed, such were his
manners, that had he lived in the vicinity
of Manhattcn-without stepping over
the strictest bounds Of propriety, | think
can safely say, he would have been
termed" one OF the b'hoys," yet with
all his playfuness, when fairly seated on
the woolsack, he was like Moses Of old,
can austere man," and he who presum-
ed ito trife with the dignity of "the
court" on these occasions, generally suf-
tered some.
Well, as l was saying-"his honor
was; seated, and a case about to be COM
menced, when, in voice of thunder, the
sheriff proclaimed "si!ence." There was
4 pause-the Judge looked up and saw
an elderly man near the lawyers table,
who had not yet uncovered his head.
The Court could not brook such disre-
spect to the ermine; its dignity was as
sailed and his honor called out in all au-
thortative tone:
{" Mr.. Sheriff, remove that mans hat!
.I1sat functionary, who had until now,
stood in q corner leaning upon his rifle,
sseppedup and politely knocked off the
hat with the muzzle of his murderous
weapon, whcreupon Mr.. Badger. (that
was the Offenders name, seized, not the
sheriff, but the hat, and exclaimed
"Judge Pm bald"
"Mr. Sheriff." said the court, GIVE
instruct you again to remove MIR. Bad
gers hat from Lis head"
The order was instantly executed. and
10 sooner done, than Mr.. B. replaced

the hat on his head the second time,
again insisting that I" he was bald"
The offended Judge now waxed warm,
and rising in his seat, ordered the clerk
to enter up fine of five dollars for con-
tempt for Court.
MIR. B. was thunderstruck. He de-
liberately walked up to the bench and
laying down half dollar before his
honor, in solemn tone thus gave his
views of the case to the Laws expoun-
der -
"Your sentence, Judge, is t-d
ungentlemanly, but the law is imperative,
and reckon iii have to stand it, so here
is four bits" and the four dollars and a
half that you owed me when we quit
playing "pokcr" this morning, makes us
