NE The following stanzas from the
Wheeling Intelligencer were written by
our friend Oliver |. Tsy lOr of that place,
who sometimes writes poetry for our
paper. A correspondent Of the In
telligencer, who has himself won much
reputation as poet, speaks of them thus !:
Is the poetry, ""Tis such Night" in
Mondays 1ntelligencer, really of Wheel
ing origin ? If SO We must have an AL
ice Carey among us, for it bears the
mark of feminine authorship; the grace
of women's sensibilty ; though it may be
a mans but only such a man as she has
tempered to her own sweet appreciation
of the delicate and the beautiful.
TITS SUCH A NIGHT.
'Tis such night, it angels were
To wander from their homo
They would forget the glory there,
And linger hero to roam
1t is a night when to tho earth
Such u loveiness is given,
We deem it not of mortal birth
But like our dreams of Heaven!
Beneath the tresses of this grove
The thrObbing moonbeams restI
AS if they'd found what most they love,
And slumber'd on its breast
And TO the landscapes dmpIing face
The SIX les bend fondLy down,
AS if they sought one sweet embrace
From all they gaze upon
On such night, the throbbing oul
With loves pure vow accords,
And yields to dreams beyond control,
And thoughts that have no words
No words, lov'd one save what thine eye,
Thy soft aud moon-lit check,
Our heart to hearts responsive sigh
None save what these may speak !
Oh could deem, in such an hour,
That Heaven is not so far
As some havo taught me and power
That's not beyond each star,
Can FREQ us from corrupton's thrall
Fen in world like this,
And crowd within one moment all
Tho soul can know of bliss

and pulled her lamp into the room As

looked like ghost standing there by the

face was as white as the pure linen she
wore. Once the king moved heavily in

unquiet sleep held the monarch, and he
seemed to be under the influence of some
dream that sent various shades fitting

hand she let fall upon it several drops of
the liquid she had prepared That part
of the linen upon which the liquid had
fallen was placed carefully over the sleep
ing man's mouth, and then Emma let a
! drop fall upon his upper lip, just under
the edge of the nostril. After this was
done she sought Mohammeds kerchief,
and upon this she put some of the prepara-

The woman placed the phial back into

stood and gazed upon the sleeper A look

gazed, and tear trembled upon her long,

upon her hand, and quickly starting from

took up the lamp and carefully closed the

CHAPTER Xxx.
THE PooR DECEIVED.

IT was towards noon of the day succeed
ing the events last recorded. Ben Hamed
was i'll his own dwelling engaged in exam
lining some papers that related to the af-
fairs of justice that came under his official
supervision. 1t was certainly not easy
for him to fasten his mind on the business
he had in hand, for ever and anon he would
push the documents from him, and start
to his feet as if other matters usurped his
thoughts. Ben Hamed was far from be-
ing happy man. 1t is not certain that
his conscience troubled him much but he
knew that he was playing false cards to
every one about him, and he could not but
fear that detection might, sooner or later
overtake him. Detection from the king
would surely cost him his office, and de-
lection from any one else would fasten
upon him a shame that he could not over
come. He knew that be was hated by
most of the knights of Granada, and tho
his arm was strong in battle, yet his heart
was weak In honor
Again and again did the alcalde seat
himself to his official task, but no sooner
did he begin to reason upon the matters
before him than his brain became confus-
ed, and he was obliged to give over the
trial so he folded up the documents, and
sat and gazed upon their outer blankness.
Thus Ben Hamed sat, when the door of
bis apartment was opened. 1t was Husam
Ben Abbas who entered.
Ben Hamed, bear thee message from
the king, said Husam.
Il listen
'Mohammed awaits the coming of your
daughter, and be desires that you will haste
to bring her.
'Husam, in what mood seems the king
this morning2'
AS usual, save, perhaps, that he is more
testy.
'Testy2 l think he should be different
from that. The Christian is in his power,
and Zebra is soon to be his
Nevertheless, he is out of sorts this
morning, and l, for one, was glad to get
clear of his presence
Ben Hamed looked troubled.
What ails him 2 he asked
in truth [ know not
Has he seen the Christian knight since
his re-capture 2
No, nor will be be likely to-
'Ah,-Charles of Leon has again escap-
ed
No; but he is soon to die
Good ? uttered the alcalde He was
unable to conceal his qualification.
It's very easy to say goo" returned
Ben Abbas, in a meaning tone, but all is
not good that sounds so. If | am not
much mistaken. there is a counter current
to the affairs about US, and tie waters
may not run so smoothly as you think
4 do not understand you. Husam'
Il mean that Mohammed is playing at
game too high for him It's well enough
to trap a hawk. and even child may do
it, but that child must beware when he
thinks to kill his game
The alcalde started, sad gazed earnest
ly at his visitor
DO you understand me. Ben Hamed 2
Not quite
Then you must wait. But for the
present you had better hasten to the king
with your fair daughter. He is anxious
for her presence. Alb, Ben Hamed, you

LEARN TO sPELL.-Bad spelling is dis
credltable. Every young man ought to
be master of his native tongue. He that
will not learn to spell the language that
is on his tongue and before his eyes every
hour, shows no great aptitude for the
higher duties of an intelligent, observing
man.
Bad spelling is therefore an unfavorable
indication. 1t indicates a blundering
mana man that cannot see with his eyes
open. Accordingly we have known the
application Of more than one young man,
made with great display of penmansbip
and parade of references, rejected for its
bad spelling.
Bad spelling is very conspicuous bad
indication. He who runs may read it
A bright school-boy, utterly incapable Of
appreciating your stores Of science, art
and literature, can see your bad spelling
at glance and crow over it You will
find it hard to inspire that boy with any
great respect for your attainments.
Bad spelling is therefore very morti-
fying and inconvenient defect. We have
known men, thrown into prominent posi-
tions so ashamed of their deficiency in
this respect that they never ventured to
send letter till it had been revised by
friend This was, to say no more sufi-
ciently inconvenient.
I say again, learn to spell, young man.
Keep your eyes open when you read, and
if any word is spelled differently from
your mode. ascertain which is right
Keep your dictionary by you; and in wri-
ting. whenever you have the least misgiv-
ing about the spelling of word, look 1t
ont at once, and remember it. Do not let
your laziness get the better of you.

A QUIzAcAL SPlRIT-The Hon. j. W.

who ordered hin to dig two feet deeper.
This was done and with tue same i'll sue

THE WIDOWED BRIDE.
Her hearts with the lost one she weepeth clone!
For the star of her future has faded and gone;
The hopes of her bosom are pulssess and cold
As the form that lies sleeping beneath the shroud's
fold
She saw the death shadow sweep over his brow
She knows the hearts frozen that loved her till
now;
And her head droopeth low, and her spirit is bowed,
For she gazeth her last on the gathering shroud
t is past slow and sad through the pitying throng,
To the home of the dead, they have borne him
along;
They have buried him out where the shadows
stray,
And the widow has turned in her sorrow away!
Alone in her anguish, while memories dim
Are haunting her spirit with dreams of him;
No eyes looking gladness-no love-frighted tone
Can lull her deep sadness-She weepeth alone!
GAY SrANKKR.
Steamboat Poetry.
Amid the crowd there walked youth
Whose heart seemed charged with woe
His eyes were bent upon the deck;
His steps were sad and slow:
1t was not unrequited love,
Nor disappointnent's fruits,
That marked with the cheek ofyouth;
He COULDN'T FIND HIS BOOTS!
