II Know It.''

AT seventeen years of age, I was
more Of a man than have ever been
since. l wore a long tailed coat and
boots, ito which the apputenance Of
spurs was generally added,) a nous
tache was quite visible on my upper
lip, and consciousness Of ripe maturi-
tY never left my mind. [ was study
ing for the legal profession, but at the
time Of which | write, Twas spending
my summer vacation at my fathers
house in the country.
Though SO manly, (almost soldier
like, as fansied,9 in my appearance
my inner, was by no means as stern as
my outer man. [ loved my mother
with childish tenderness, and sooner
than pain her pious heart, [ unmm-
muringly accompanied her every Sun
day to the village church to listen to
long 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 in
audible where sat. Though melted by
love and duty to subject myself to this
weekly penance, (well deserved by my
weekly sins) my conscience yet did not
prevent NE from willing away my time
by such amusements as lay at hand
that, namely, Of observing and specu-
lating on the countenances of my neigh
bors, an occupation of which l was
fond.
The physiognomy which interested
me more than all the others, was that
Of young girl who sat far from us,
and who accompanied by an aged
woman, probably her grandmother-
the object of her ever watchful care.
This girls face, from first eliciting my
careless admiration gradually absorbed
my whole attention. 1t was very
beautiful, but a part from that it pos
sessed the greatest possible interest for
me. Never had | seen a countenance
which denoted so much sensibility;-
each emotion Of her mind was plainly
written upon it by its quick, delicate
changes; nothing was wanting but the
key Of a corresponding degree of SEN
sibility in the beholder, to read her
innocent soul like an open book.
I Sometimes, by chance, the fair OBJ
ject Of my busy fancies would catch
my eye, or without looking at me,
seem to know or feel that | was gazing
at her, and | wickedly delighted in no
ticing the blush which deepened on
her cheek till l withdrew my eyes.
One Sunday happened, in coming
out Of church, to be close to my lovely
neighbor-immediately behind her
my hand touching her unconscious
garments. felt an irresistible desire
to force her in some way to notice me
to speak to her-to occasion one of
those charming bushes, anything |
knew not what. In short, like an i'm
pertinent coxcomb as | was, | stopped
forward and with an insuhrerable inso-
lence, which | blush now to remember,
whispered in her ear:
"You are very prettyl"
Never was | more surprised than
when she calmly replied:

EXTREME PoLrrEyEss.-The mos

since at a Hbernan ball.
As related to US by one of the sons Of
Erin, who keenly appreciates a good

quest Bridget's hand for the next reel.
stumbled over the outstretched foot of
Mr.. Terence O'Grady.
Misther O'Grady promptly arose, and
in the politest manner imaginable, said:
Il beg your pardon, sir"
"No ofence-no offence, sir, at all, y
replied the other; "it was my fault"
Il beg your pardon, sir, it was en-
t'rely my fault" was the response, ac-
companied by graceful bend Of the
body and wave of the hand.
"No, sir" answered Misther O'Toole,
yer entirely in the wrong, sir; tell
ye it was altogether my fault.''
81 tell ye it was not, SIR responded
O'Grady, edo you name to say I'd be
telling lie, sir, when I tell you it was
not yer fault?' responded O'Toole, wax
ing wrath.
''Bad luck to yer bad brading, yer ig-
norant gossoon; dye think ye'd be get
ting the bether of me in maDners:''
shouted O'Grady, as with a trip and a
blow he laid tAe unfortunate O'Toole
upon the floor.
O'Toole rallied, and rough and tum-
bic fight ensued, which ended in the ex-
pulsion of both gentlemen from the ball
room.- Pioneer Magazine.

He looked--was that pale woman,

He looked--was that pale woman,
SO grave, so worn, 50 sad,
The child, once young and smiling.
The bride, once fair and glad,
What grief had dimm'd that glory
And brought that dark eclipse
Upon her blue eyes radiance.
And paled those trembling lips?
What memory Of past sorrow,
What stab Of present pain,
brought that deep look Of anguish,
That watch'd the dismal rain.
That watch'd with absent spirit
That looks, yet does not see)
The dead and leafess branches
Upon the Judas Tree.
The slow dark months crept onward
Upon their icy way,
Till April broke in showers,
And Spring smiled forth in May,
Upon the apple blossoms
The sun shone bright again,
When slowly up the highway
Came a long funeral train.
The bells told slowly, sadly,
For a noble spirit He'd;
Slowly, in pomp and honor,
They bore the quiet dead.
Upon black plumed charger
One rode, who held shield,
Where azure feur-de- lis and stars
Shone on a silver field.
Mid all that homage given
To Auttering heart at rest,
Perhaps an honest sorrow
Dwelt only in one breast.
One by the inn-door standing
Watched with fast dropping tears
The long procession passing.
And thought Ct bygone years,
The boyish, silent homage
To Child and bride unknown,
The ritying tender soorrow
Kept in his heart alone,
Now laid upon the coffin,
With a purple flower, might be
Told to the cold dead sleeper;
The rest could only sec
A fragrant purple blossom
Pluck from Judas Tree.

less than four princes and ffty-seven
dukes-more, We believe, than Great

which furnished all these dignitaries
with principalities and dukedoms is on

BURNT ALIvE.-A letter in the New
Orleans Picayune, dated January %,
written from Lexington, Mississippi,
says:
"a daughter of a very worthy gen
t'eman, while riding on horseback to
visit neighbor, was assaulted by ne
gro man, who made the most hellsh at
tempt to violate her person. She strug-
gled in his demoniac grasp until her
strength was exhausted, and she was
sadly bruised and lacerated, when gen.
tleman came in sight The negro fled,
and the gentleman carried the almost in
animate girl to her fathers house. Af-
ter deposiling her there, he raised the
alarm, and the people hurried out to
hunt the negro. They were not long in
finding him. He belonged to the Wade
estate They brought him into the town
Of Lexington, and then, in the most pub
lie street, chained him to stake and
burnt him alive. 1t is thought the young
lady will not survive her injuries"

TRUE POETRY FROM THE PERSIAN.
The heavens are a point from the
pen of Gods perfection; the world is
bud from the bower Of bis beauty;
the sun is a spark from the light of his
wisdom; and the sky is a bubble on
the sea Of his power.-IIis beauty is
free from the spot of sin, hidden in
the thick vale Of darkness; he made
mirrors from the atoms Of the world,
and threw a reflection from his own
face on every atom.
