A TALE OF WOMAN'S INFLUENCE.
BY C. s. r.
concluded from our last number. !

Concluded from our last numberl
THE comm: :ttee member soon found it was
no place for dignity falsely so called, in this
little company. Completely carried away
with the enthusiasm around him, he found
himself utterly unable to explain the Won
derful effects produced in so short a time by
such an unobtrusve influence. Many of the
scholars he knew we'll He marked one little
fellow in particular. Everybody knew him.
Six months before, wilder. w;ckeder boy
could not be found out Of Randall's Island
Coarse, vulgar. rude, hated because he was
ugly, and ugly because he was hated, he was
ostrac;sed from all boys society whose par
ents hoped for them better things Now he
was neatly dressed. orderly quiet subdued
in his demeanor, and no one noticed that his
voice was worse than the others, though it
did rise a little higher when he became excl
ted in singing. There was another close be-
side him. six months before one of the dullest
LATEST boys that ever found it his misfortune
to live; stupid blockhead that he was. every
idea had been put into his head by rule.
Now. there sat on that bench no scholar from
whose eye brighter fire shone than from his.
Backward, indeed. hewas; but ambition was
aroused. Some gentle hand had rolled away
the great stone from his sepulchered soul. and
it had risen to life and to light Dr. Irving
saw all this. and he left the school-room that
day wiser, and, it is to be hoped, better
man.
A week after this. Kate Stewart met her
visitor at a small party in the village. He
appeared to seek her society with a kind of
exclusiveness perceptihe to all but herself
In conversation they differed often but. al
though she opposed no opinion of his he.
strangely enough. almost always yielded to
her at once. On this evening. Kate was in
fine spirits Worn upon somewhat by the
weary lahora of school room she was hear
tlv reioiced at the opportunity of seeking
that cOngeniality of society that would give
play to higher class of thoughts and feel
inga. In Henry Irving she found most a.
greeable companion, and she had too mnch
simplicity of character not to make much of
her chance association with him. It was

sETALK1NG OF HATS" said our friend. =" re.
minds me of good repartee made by Prof:
Kingsley. of Yale College. One day when he
was hearing our class, some rough cub of a
student wrote the word hog on card, and
slipped it in his hat When the professor
stepped down from the tutors desk, and he
always stepped very quickly, and snatched
up his hat, and was hurrying out, when the
card caught his eye. He glanced hastily at
it, jerked it out as quick as thought, and
holding it up, said in his short keen-as a-bri-
ar way
Gentlemen, gentlemen. one of you has
left his card in my hat" Then depositing it
on the table, the spry little man stepped out.
Then there was my little friend John Trum-
BULL of Sharpstown, the most logical reason
er in our part of the country. Clear as
sunbeam in his perceptions, he never failed to
exhaust all the hypothesis Of which subject
would admit. I'll give you name in an in.
stance of this. He had written his name in
the crown of his hat in letters thus John
Trumbull, Lawyer. Sharpstown, Pa One
night some young fellows, who had got corn
ed. took his hat, which was large one, and
shifted his name into one of much smaller di-
mensions.--John came out into the entry, in
that booZy state when a man is the most
grave. He looked for his hat, and reading
the card allowed. tried to steady the beaver
on his head. But it wouldn't 90 on. Taks
ing it between hs. hands, he read out again
the name JOHN Tfumbull lawyer, Sharps-
town, Pa. new was right" Another in
effectual attempt to smash it on" There's
mistake, somewhere" He looked puzzled;
A sudden idea seemed to strike him. 90 Ben,"
said he, "come here, look at this man, and
tell me whether he's John Trumbull, lawyer,
Sharpstown. Pa'' The answer was affIma-
tive. "All right" said John, as he gave
another tug at the hat, hut it wouldn't go on
yet, "Well Ben" said the bewildered logic

Feellng.-BY GLYCUs
Thought is deeper than all speech
Feeling deeper than all thought
Soul to soul can never teach
What unto itself is taught.-THE DIAL
o could we the bosom's strange secrets unfold,
And freely say all that we feel;
What throng of emotions that may not be told,
What our tremulous accents reveal
But feelings lie hid in the hearts secret caves,
Too secret, too deep to disclose
Like gems that unseen meath the fathomless waves
In quiet and beauty rspose.
Some trace of what passes within may appear,
By the treacherous features contest
A drop will gush up to the eye in tear,
From fountains that weep in the breast;
And from the hearts sunshine ray often mounts,
To break on the lips in smile
But the warm of that sunshine, the depth of those
founts,
Are searchless springs of the Nile
The glittering cavern though gorgeous and vast,
: Qts mouth by wild thickets o'ergrown)
From the stroller who brushes unconsciously past.
Keeps al its bright secrets unknown
Even so at the door Of the spirits deep cell,
stre loiteIer orgltlessly treads;
Nor dreams of the glorious wonders that dwell
Behind its dark rampant Of weeds!
Full many word from the lips we love much
Though trace of emotion be shown)
Strikes chord in the bosom that thrills to the touch
With exquisite deepness of tone;
The heart is harp of such delicate mould
No mortal can master its strings;
Awhile ii bres theS music imrassioned and bold
Then tunelesE discordantly rings.
The deer that is wounded forsakes the dense herd,
In secret to suffer and moan
And the spirit withdraws when its sorrows are stir
red,
To bleed o'er the anguish alone;
But o could we speak to genial heart,
And share with another grief
What sweet consolations might friendship iThpart
To give the sad spirit relief
Alasl must it ever be counted sin,
Cur innermost thought to anve?
Must the vehement feelings that struggle within,
Apart from all sympathy dwell?
Unseen an / in silence the passion stream flows,
Whose tides the fuA bosoms employ
Never sounds in its surgeSour wiidering woes
Nor lips in its ripples our joy.
