There's not light upon life's tide, above the ruff
Not cen fowret decks the shore that its dark
waters lave;

sllvery sea, -.,,.

There are clouds upon yon ether dome,
There's cloud upon my brow,
And il shrouds the starlight of my home,
With its darkening shadows now;
The frowning- arch of yonder sly--a dim and
shadowy scroll IE

my soul; .a ~ e -1
would uiH tine clouds away, and bring sunshine
bright and free,
Had thy wilfu spirit, commanding lisa Lee!
There's tempest in the forests deep,
There's tempest in my mind;
1t rudely woke The zephy's sleep,
-- And it banished those bright visions mine;
The sad winds ftful gusts, and the wild, wild
jtempest's roar, ~ h.a aa-. ..r
Should find an answering echo in my bosom never
If my triF could quell emotion with its stoney-
wrought decree,
Like thine own undaunted spirit, noble, proud

As the bird on wearied pinion,
Meath its weight sinks hapless down,
So my eye-lids weak and sorrowing,
Droop beneath life's angry frown.

And grieve the waning glory of its bright poetic

An American Bride.
BY MISS Bremen.

/ went at ST. Louis, to pay morning visit to
the bridal pair, who are now residing at the hotel
1t was in the forenoon; but the room in which the
bride sat was darkened, and was only family light
ed up by the blaze of the fire. The bride was tall
and delicately formed but too thin but for all this
lovely, and with a blooming complexion. She
was quite young, and struck me like a rare hot
house plant, scarcely able to endure the free winds
of the open air. Her long, taper fingers played
with number Of little vsluables fastened to q
gold chain, which, hanging round her neck, reached
to her waist. Her dress was costly and tasteful.
She looked, however, more like an article Of luxu-
ry, than young woman meant to be the mother of
family. The faint light of the room, the warmth
of the fire, the soft perfumed atmosphere
thing, in short around this young bride, seemed to
speak of efeminacy. The bridegroom, however,
was evidently no effeminate person, but man and
a gentleman. He was apparently very much
enamored of his young bride, whom he was now
about TO take, first to Cincinnnti, and then to
Florida and its perpetual summer. We were re-
galed with bride-cake and sweet wine.
When l left that perfumed apartment, with its
dollhouse atmosphere and its half daylight, u which
was carefully tended beautiful human flower, /
was met by heaven as blue as that of spring,
and by resi-, vernal air, by sunshine and the
song of birds among the whispering trees. The
contrast was delightful. All, said /, to myself,
this is a different life After all, it is not good;
no it is not good, it has not the freshness of ma
ture, that life which many ladies lead in this
country; that life of twilight in comfortable rooms,
rocking themselves by the fresides from one years
end to another; that life of efeminate warmth and
inactivity, by which means they exclude themselves
from the fresh air. and from fresh invigorating life
And the physical weakness of the ladies' of this
country must, in a great measure, be ascribed to
their effeminate education. 1t is sort of harem-
life although with this difference, that they unlike
the Oriental woman, are here in the Western
country regarded as sultanesses, and the men as
their subjects. 1t has, nevertheless, the tendency
to circumscribe their Development, and to divert
them from their highest and noblest purpose. The
harems of the West no less than those of the
East, degrade the life and the consciousness of vo-
man." Homes Of the Nerc World.

YES, dear Mr.. Miner! little he thought how
many comforts we wanted. Now we need not stint

That evening the CRATE, heaped with Lehigh, gave
the little room an air Of ruddy comfort. Eva sat
near, her surls bound softly back from her pure
forehead, inditing touching letter to their ben
efactor Her mothers face lighted with the loss of
cankering care, shone with placid smile, and her
every thought was prayer calling down blessings
upon the good rich man.
In another room, far different from the widows
home, but also bright with the blaze of a genial
fire, whose red light made richer the polish of cost
ly furniture, sat the noble merchant.
"Pa, what makes you look so happy" asked
Lima beautiful girl, passing her smooth hand over
his brow.
Don't always look happy, my little Lna!"
"Yes, but you keep shutting your eyes and smil-
ing-so;" and her bright face reflected his own
Il think you've had something very nice to-day;
what was it?'
docs my little daughter really want to know
what has made her father SO happy Here is my
Bible; let her turn to the Acts of the Apostles,
Goth chapter, 35th verse, and read it carefully"
The beautiful child turned reverently the pages
of the holy book, and as she read, she looked up
| in her fathers eyes
"And to remember the words Of the Lord Jesus
how he said, is more blessed to gire than to re-
| cetus."
"Ah! know" she said, laying her rosy cheek
upon his hand; "you have been giving something to
some poor beggar, as you did last week, and he
thanked you, aud said, God bless you, and that's
what makes you happy" .......Er
Lima read confirmation in her fathers smile
but he said nothing, only kept repeating to him.

Fighting,

I" 1t is no use trying any longer, mother, must
just give up and go to fighting, as the other boys
do" exclaimed George, as he flung down his hat,
and pushed back his curls from his moist forehead
His mother gazed sadly upon his flushed face for
moment, ere she answered. "My dear son, try
little longer for my sake"
Mother, have tried aid tried, until the bows
all boot at me, and call me a coward; don't care
so much for that, either, but they say-even the
best boys in school-that they can't respect boy
who won't fight, and I'm sure don't want to lose
the respect of all my playmates. Mother" he
continued pleadingly, "you don't know the boys
in this town; it seems really necessary to fight,
now and then they will think you hare no spirit"
Il can't bear to think of my son engaging in
street fight, to gain the respect of his assoc
ates," replied the mother.
"And can't bear to think, that none Of the
boys respect me-" said George, as he hastily left
the room.
"The boy is right, mother" said his father, " he
will certainly lose caste among the boys, if he don't
now and then buster out, and deal few blows, to
show that he is not going to be imposed upon
You had better give your consent to it, he will
certainly have to do so without it"
40, hope not yet said the mother, in de-
jected tone.
All that day the subject was upon her mind,
causing deep anxiety, and earnest prayer. At one
time she sympathized in her boys feelings, and was
ready to say, stand up to your own rights
Then the thought of those gentle hands inaicting
wounds upon his associates, caused her to shndder
and as in fancy, she saw those blows returned up
on him, with all the force of larger and stronger
boy, and his dear face bruised and blaekened by |
them; the mother grew sick at heart, aud again |

CAMADEVA,

THE HINDoo GOD OF LOVE.
The sun, the moon, the mystic planets seven,
Shone with purer and serener fame,
And there was joy on earth, and joy in heaven,
When Camadeva came.
The blossoms burst, like jewels of the air.
Putting the colors Of morn to shame.
Breathing their odorous secrets everywhere,
When Camadeva came
The birds, u on the tufted tamarined spray,
Sat side by side and cooed in amorous flame;
The lion sheathed his claws and left his prey
When Camadeva came
The sea slept, Pillowed on the happy shore;
The mountain peaks were bathed in rosy fame
The clouds went down the sky to mount no more.
When Camadeva came.
The hearts of all men frightened like the morn;
The poets harp then first deserved its fame,
For rapture sweeter than he sang was born
When Camadeva came.
: All breathing life newer spirit quaffed,
second life bliss beyond a name,
And death, half conquered, dropped his idle shaft
When Camadeva came.

In the dim recess of thy spirits chamber.
Is there some hidden grief thou mayst not tell
Let not thy heart forsake thee but remember
His plying eye, who sees and knows it we'll.

And art thou tossed on pillows of temptation,
And wouldst thou do good, but evil oft prevails
U think amid the waves of tribulation,
When ear thly hopes, and earthly refuge fails
God knows it all la
And dQst thou sin, the deed of shame concealing
In some dark spot no human eye can see,
Then walk in pride without one sign revealing
The deep remorse that should dsquiet thees
God knows it all
Art thou oppressed and poor, and heavy-hearted,
The heavens above thee in thick clouds arrayed
And well nigh crushed; earthly thought impaired
No friendly voice to say, "Be not afraidr'
God knows it all
Art thou a mourner are thy tear drops flowing
For one too early lost to earth and thee
The depths ofgrief no human spirit knowing,
Which mourn in secret like the moaning seal
God knows 1t ali
Dost thou look back upon life of sinnings
Forward and tremble for thy future lot :
There's One who sees the end from the beginning,
Thy tear of penitence is unforgot-
God knows it all
Then go to God Pour out your hearts before him
There is no grief your Father cannot feel;
And let your grateful song of praise adore Him
To save, forgive, and every wound to heal
God knows it all (!
