WASHING DAY.

1t CHANGED to be washing day,
And all our things were drying,
The storm came roaming through the line
And set them all flying.
saw the shirts and petticoats,
Go riding off like witches,
l lost t. ah! bitterly wept,-
lost my Sunday breeches.
saw them straddling through the air,
Alas too late to win them,
l saw them chase the clouds as if
The devil had been in them.
They were my darlings and my piide,
My boyhood's only riches;
Farewell, farewell, family cried
My breeches, 0, my breeches.
That night saw them in my dreams,
How changed from what knew them,
The dew had stepped their faded threads
The wind had whistled through them;
saw the wide and ghastly rents
Where demon claws had torn them;
A hole was in their hinder parts
AS if an imp had worn them.
l have had many happy years
And tailors kind and clever;
But these young pantaloons have gone
Forever and forever,
And not till fate has cut the last
Of all my earthly stitches
This aching heart shall cease to mourn
My loyed-my long lost breeches.
My health found was failing fast
When 0! ye Gods and little fishes,
l found a remedy, cure at last,
Moore replaced my darling breeches.

MEMORY.

Soft as the rays of sunlight stealing
On the dying day;
Sweet as chimes of low bells pealing,
When eve fades away;
Sad as winds at night that moan
Through the heath DER mountain lone,
Come the thoughts of days now gone
On manhood's memory.
As the sunbeam's from the heaven
Hide at eve their light.
As the bells when fades thee
Peal not on the night;
AS the night winds cease to sigh
When the rain falls from the sky,
Pass the thoughts of days gone by
From ages memory
Yet the sunlight in the morning
Forth again shall break,
And the bells give sweet voiced W lrning
To the world to awake.
Soon the winds shall freshly breathe
Der the mountains purple heath;
But the path is lost in Death
He hath no memory.
The Democratic sentinel and Harrison County farmer. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1851-1852, 1852-04-21

l often wonder that | was able to study
at all this time, for Grace, beautiful, grace
full Grace, was never absent from my thoughts
- she had become the dream of my life
the object, of all the love son nets, which had
till now been scattered on va rious rival beau
ties. l did study, however and study hard
and at the end of the term passed examina-
ton with high honor--much to my dear
mothers pride and Joy.
determined to be wiser whenI saw Grace
again--to discover be yond doubt if were
indeed beloved, before committed myself
as had done by foolish speeches.
In order to satisfy myself on this point, and
perhaps also to crafty a little pique, when
| returned home | di rot 20 Immediately to
see Grace as my feelings dictated, but
waited TILL, at my mothers summons,
she spent an evening with u.s. Even then
though my heart was full of tenderness for
her, effected coolness; had made up my
mind to play, part, and suffer as | might

tribute to her amusement. | devoted N.Y.
self to her the whole evening, and felt the
sw etest pain ever experienced when saw,
by Grace's dear, changing, sensitive face,
that she was deeply panied and wounded
When this foolery had been carried to its
height, perceived Grace suddenly rise
and steep through the open window out on
the piazza. In few minutes | followed
hel: She had retired to a little distance from
the window-and stood with her head lean
ing against the railing weeping, Stealing
softly behind her. | passed my arm around
her and whispered,
"Ah, dearest Grace-do not deny i'll
You love me.'
There was little pauSe-then laughing,
yet still crying, Grace turned aside her head
and said
"Alas! | KNOW IT."

The Coming Of the Stage Coach.
By MRS. NJ. A. DEN1soN.

The distant wheels roll up the street,
A horn sounds on the hill,
Out springs the farmer from his wheat,
The Miller from his mill,
The village beauty, Annabel,
Smooths back her shining hair,
Her heart beats quick-she cannot tell
Somebody" may be there.
The "host' grows merry, as the horn
Rings on the even-tide,
The milk maids, hidden by the corn,
Haste from the heifer' SIDE;
The white-haired dame lays by her fax,
The blacksDnith's ore grows pale,
The cobbler leaves his bench and wax,
And John throws down his fail.
On roll the wheels, the Gathering hoofS
Fall fast upon the road,
Nor cease till meath the old Inn roofs,
They bear the weared load;
How gather now the aged sires,
The latest news to hear;
To tales of crime, of flood, or fires,
They lend an eager ear
IT'S night; the moon shines full and white,
On the dark brow of earth;
And many heart beats free and light,
Round many cottage hearth,
The messenger OF myriad Joys
Came with that stage coach old,
Letters from brave and wandering boys,
And some brought cheer of gold,
And pretty Nelly blushing stands
Beneath the dropping vine,
Somebody" folds her little hands,
And whispers "yoll'll be mine;;"
Her brow is bright with happy years;
Olmay few sorrows dim
Those soft blue eyes, that look through teal
So tenderly on him.
The Democratic sentinel and Harrison County farmer. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1851-1852, 1852-04-21
FROM pETERsoN's S MAGAZINE FOR MARCH.
II X N low it,
BY E. W. DEVICES.

At seventeen years of age | was more oI
man than have ever been since. | wore
long tailed coat and boots, 10 which ap-
purtenance of spurs was generally added a
moustache was quite visible on my upper
lip, and consciousness of ripe maturity
never left my mind. WIS studying for
the legal profession, but at the time ofwhich
write, was spending my summer vacation
at my fathers house in the country.
Though SO manly, (almost soldier like,
as fancied, in my appearance, my inner
man was by no means SO stern as my outer
man. / could not help loving my moth
er with childish tenderness, and sooner than
pain her pious heart, unmuringly accom-
paniedherevery Sunday the village church,
TO listen tolong sermons of which | could not
hear a word, for the tremulous accents of
the very aged minister, who conducted the
services, were so faint as to be inaudible
where we sat Tho melted by love and
duty to subject myself to this weekly pc
nance, my conscience yet did not prevent
me from willing away the time by such
amusement as lay at hand-that, namely,
of observing and specializing on the counte-
nances of my neighbors, an, occupation OF
which / was fond. .at5
The physiognomy which interested me
more than all others, was that of a yonng
girl who sat not far from us, and who was
accompanied by an aged lady, probably .hel
grandmother--the object of herevery watch
full care. This girls face, from first elicit
ed my careless admiration, gradually absor.
bed my whole attention. 1t wasvery eau
tful, but apart of that, it possessed the
greatest possible interest for me. Never
had | seen countenance which donated SC
much sensibility; each emotion Of her mind
was plainly written upon it, by itsquick, del
icate changes; nothing was wanted but the
key Of a corresponding degree Of sensibility
in the beholder, to read her tender, innocen
soul like an open book. For hours gazel
and speculated on that fair young face
thought how sad would be the lot of so sen
sitiye being, should fate unite her to one
who would not know how to read Alright wha
was SO delicately written--to whom the va
rying expression Of that sweet counte
nance would NSputa blankr-who should b.
