Gas the dove viii clap its wings to its
side, and cover and conceal the arrow
that is preying upon its vitals, 50 it is the
nature of woman to hide from the world
the pangs of wounded affection. With
her the desire of the heart has failed -
The great charm of existence is at an
end. She neglects all the cheerful exer-
cises that gladden. the spirits, quicken
the pulse, and send the tide of life in
heartfelt currents through the veins. -
Her rest is broken---thc sweet refresh
ment of sleep is poisoned by melancholy
dreams-'dry sorrow drinks her blood,
until her feeble frame sinks under the
least external assailant. Look for her
after little while. and you will find
friendship weeping over her grave, and
wondering that ono who but lately glowed
with all the radiance Of health and beauty
should now be brought down to dark
ness and the worm You will be told
of some wintry chill, some slight indis-
position that laid her low, but no one
knows the mental malady chat previously
Slapped her strength, and made her so
easy a prey to the spoiler."
The above is from Washington Irving.
Now hear Julius Caesar Hannibal, upon
the same interesting topic:
81 ey may rail against women as
much as dey like, dey can't set me up
against dem. | hab always in life found
dem fust in quarrel, fust in de dance.

tleton's permission / will kick you into
the street."
Suiting the action to the word, the
indignant lover dragged him through
the entry, and " booted'' him down the
front steps. Mr.. Littleton threw him
his hat and the friend of the family picked
himself up; and vowing vengeance,
made his way back to the hotel, where
he still occupies an attic, hated and de-
pissed BY all who know him.
Helen, deeply wounded by the con-
seriousness that her willfulness--if the
vindication of her outraged feelings, her
wounded modesty, deserves so hard a
name-precipitated her fathers misfor-
tunes: had confessed to her lover the stu
alton of her family. He had promptly
supplied the means not only of paying
Mr.. Dillenburg, but also of meeting his
other pressing liabilities, and joy was
again restored to the family.
And shortly after Charles Brooks led
Helen to the altar. Young, beautiful
and full ofspirit, he had found in her his
idea of wife, and his ideal was fully
actualized in her possession. They are
as joyous as the sunshine, and often
laugh over the remembrance of Adolphus
Dillenburg, Esq, and especially over
Charles prompt action when he kicked
him out of the door; and thus ended the
last scene in the farce Of

When the immortal Col. was

was wont to have a high old time. Ono
day, as he was assessing the valuables Of
the occupants of log cabin, situated in

manner, popped the questions" to tho
old woman, while the old man had Como

with to rcgale his guest.
How many horses, cattle, sheep,
chickens, &c, have you got, my dear
madam, and how much are they worth p

they amt wutll cent-tlirce cows, but
they've bin lost this spring two years.
nary sheep, 'cept my old man, and he

WOULD NOT BE A BOY AGAIN.

BY Il.
Bear on, old times resistless wave,
Its tireless flow I'd not restrain,
Tho future ills and woes enslave,
would not be Il boy again.
A score of years or more have fed,
Since dawning childhood feeble reign;
Tho many joyous hour hath sped
would not be boy again.
The murmuring streamlets soothing flow,
Has banished many childish pain,
Tho now love its whispers low
would not be a boy again.
While modest buds and smiling flowers,
Glistening in dew-drops or rain,
Calls back my childhood's happy hours
would not be boy again.
I've often watched with boyish fear,
The rcd-wingcd lightning's fiery train,
With deep-toned thunders rolling near,
Which filled with awe my childish brain
But swifter than the lightning's wing
More fearful than its rumbling strains
The slight, the frown, so whitening
That chills the blood in childhood's veins.
Full many time the crimsoned cheek,
Has told the tale Of slight and wrong;
And learned too soon, twas not the weak,
Should brave with puny arm the strong.
With bitter heart roamed afar,
And sought mid stranger wales and hills,
The guidance of some better star,
No more the sport Of other wills.
Fen now, find the proffered hand,
That comes unsought, treats with disdain
The friendly hand that asks for aid
But, I'd not be boy again.
Frown, flwn, or 1atter, all is nought,
know its worth, and well can prize,
A lesson that's so dearly bought
And frowns and smiles alike despise.
Come on, then, care, the joy that mocks
Altho' thy silver threads are plain
Thou dalliest now with older locks,
Than if were boy again.

THE FRIEND OF THE FAMILY

claimed HELEN Littleton, pretty miss
of seventeen summers, as she rushed into
the room and threw herself upon the
sofa.
The "conceited old FOOL referred to
in this pert speech. was Adolphus Dill
lenburg, ESD, bachelor of forty, who
had resided with the Littletons for the
past ten years
Z" lie meant no harm, HELEN; it was
only little pleasantly" replied Mrs.

on purpose. Perhaps he will let me
alone then"
4" But you must remember, child, that
he is the friend of the family"
" Humph 1 should think he was. /
wish father would drive him out of the
house,"
"What should we have been without
him?"
+" Enough sight better off than we are
now. He is a nuisance, a regular blood
sucker! He is a great black spider,
that builds pretty houses for little flies,
and then sucks the life out of them"
q You don't understand it, HELEN, or
you would not say So"
" Yes, / do understand it," replied
the wilful girl; "and | mean to drive
him out of the house, too"
=" Don't be rash, HELEN; you must
treat him with little more respect. He
has threatened to leave US once or twice

mortgage on the very bed upon which
he slept" added HELEN.
Z" He would have failed long ago, if
it had not been for Mr.. DilIenburg."
"He had better fail than be bled to
death by degrees"
There, he's coming, don't be rude
TO him, HELEN" added her mother
4" Remember that he is the friend Of the
family"
SO my little puss, have caught you
again" said Mr.. Dillenburg, as he boun-
ded into the room and grasped the arm
of HELEN
We don't blame the pert Miss for dis
liking him, for it would be hard to find
a more repulsive looking individual, even
in the madhouse.
"Let me alone !" said HELEN, spring
ing from his grasp. "Don't be wasp
ish, little one" replied Mr.. Dillcnburg,
as he caught her again.
Let me alone, you old fool" cried
the prosecuted maiden.

Don't be SO rude, Helen" interposcd
Mrs. Littleton.
Madam, such language is highly
improper" said the friend Of the family
his check flushed with anger.
1t was something new for him to hear
harsh epithet applied to himself, even
in jest. He had always been treated
with the most profound respect.
Don't mind her, Mr.. Dillenburg-
she don't mean anything" said Mrs. Lit
Teton. anxiously.
Yes, do mother, mean just what

Louisville has lost by death her oldest
inhabtant. Yesterday died "OLp BEN
DUKE" as he has been styled from time
immemorial, at the age of one hundred
and ten gears eight months and three
ddysi The deceased was man of color
and native of Maryland, from which
State he emigrated when Kentucky was
complete wilderness and our city but
a mere outpost on the frontier All of
those who were then residing in this sec
ton of the State have long since passed
away, With the forest, the aborigines
and savage grandeurs of untamed Ma
ture. Old Ben, however, survived
more than two generations, and Witness
cd the progress of Louisville from the
telling of the first tree in Bear Grass
Valley to the attainment of her present
commanding position among the cities of
the nation. He was many years a resi-
dent of Virginia, and at the age Of thir-
ty entered the service of Washington, of
whom he retained the liveliest recollec-
tons, always being happy when he could
relate to young listeners the story of his
campaigning with the Father of the Coun-
try. With Revolutionary incidents he
was abundantly supplied and often fought
his battles DER, proud of the part he had
taken in freeing the country, although
but man of color himself.
His death was without pang or a
moments sickness. Indeed, he had
never known disease ora doctor; on Sat
urday, the day previous to his decease,
he was out upon the street as usual. He
was an honest, upright man, member
of the Baptist church, and known to be
devout christian Yesterday morning
there was prayer meeting at his residence.
and after the service he walked to the
door Then he became suddenly faint
His son observing that he was about to
fall, ran to his aid, and assisted him up
stairs to bed. He lay quietly for few
moments, and then peacefully expired
Thus the lamp of his life, which had
burned so long and so brightly, vanish
ed into darkness, with scarcely a mo-
ment's warning.
So protracted a life could moi, of course,
be without many and strange incidents
We have heard him narrate these, and
always with the greatest pleasure. Ben.
Duke was originally slave, but the en-
tire race of his owners has become ex-
tinct, and he has been free man for a
long time. OF late years he sustained
himself by selling wood, driving a small
onc-horse wagon about the city His
features were somewhat of the Indian
cast; his form manly and imposing,
though slightly bent with age, and his
beard and hair very long and white -
