TEE HEROES OF HINDOOSTAN.

On the banks Of the GangeS, in
tie ,trictest bonds of unity lived
Akujah and Sannmacl, descended
from the blood royal, the pride of
IlindOostan, and the terror of her
enemies. Together they resided,
together they roamed the forests,
tanning the frrocious tiger, and
sllllecting to their skill the furious
lion and together they fought the
lawless bands that annually d. :
Sconded the mountains to plundcl
the detcncclcss husbandlnan, and
trembling shepherd; before them
fled the maraudcrs with terror
Insepurabie and invincible, they
feared no one; for no one they in
jurcd they were respected by the
virtuous, WHO regarded them as
their protectors they We're hated
by the vicious, for TO them they
were inexorablc.
To DESTROY this connection had
long been the aim of a neighbor-

they resided, but vain had hitler

The Hearts Guests.


When age has cast its shadows
O'er life's declining way, 49,
And the evening twilight gathers
Round our departing day Is
Then we shall sit and ponder
On tho dim and shadowy past;
Within the hearts still chambers
The guests will gather fast.
The friends in youth we cherished
Shall come to US once more,
Again to hold communion
As in the days Of yore.
They may be stern and sombre,
They may be young and fair;
But the heart will have its chambers,
The guests will gather there.
How shall it be, my sistcrss
Who, then, shall be our guests ?
How shall it be, my brothers,
When life's shadows on us rest !?
Shall we not, mid the silence,
In accents soft and low,
Then hear familiar voices,
And words of long ago?
Shall we not see dear faces,
Sweet smiling as of old
TIL the mists of that still chamber
Are sunset clouds of gold?
VIXEN age has east its shadows
Ger lifo's declining way.
And the evening twilight gathers
Round our departing day ?

THE FAITHFUL WIFE.-A true
beautiful tribute to Woman by Daniel
Webster: MAY it please your hon
ots, there is nothing upon this earth
that can compare with the faithful at
tachment of a wife; no creature who
for the object of her love is so indomi-
table, SO persevering, so ready to suf,
fer and to die. Under the most de-
pressing circumstances, woman's
weakness becomes mighty power, her
timidity becomes fearless courage, all
shrinking and sinking passes away,
and her spirit acquires the frmness
of mirable -adamantinc firmness-
when circumstances drive her to p u
forth all her energies under the inspi-
ration of her affection"

In this dreadful state of sus-

tracted the notice of the two
friends on their return from hunt
ing, and learning the cause from q
fugitive priest, the hurried, with
the speed of lightning, to the re-

an instant they alighted from their
coursers; and While Akajah plum
ged his javelin in his side, the da-
ring Sammael severed the head
from the monsters huge carcass.
They then, knowing the prohibi-
ton, remountcd, and quickly fled.
For this trespass they We're,
however, summoned before the
Grand Divan of the RIah. The
court was unusually crowded, and
the prisoners We're brought for
ward. A death-like silence pre-
vailed, when the high priest, rising
from his seat, accused the heroes
of sacrilege, infdelity and aposta-
cy. The other priests, to cloak
their cowardice, joined in the ac-
cusation, and sentence of death was
pronounced on the undaunted
friends, and amid general mur-
mur of disapprobation. The Ra-
iah would not hear anything in
their defence, and ordered them to
be led to immediate execution, but
the executioner was fled /; and be-
ing of the blood roval, no inferior
class could, agreeable to the illvi-
olable laws of HindooStan, spill
their blood. In this dilemma, the
Raiah, pretending to relent, caused
it to be known that the one who'd
shoot three arrows at and after
wards behead the other, should
receive free pardon. With an
avidity not to be expressed, Aka
lal embrSed the offer; was un-
bound and received his arms. He
bent his bow, and with poisoned
arrow, seemingly prepared to MUIR
der his friend, when, turning to-
ward the Rajah, he thus addressed
him
Prince, It's at your command
my bow is bent; at Your COM
mand must this fly and rid the
world --''
"Shoot ~ cried the Rajah, in
terrup;ing him with impatience.
At that instant, having secretly
taken aim, he let fly, und the Ra-
jah fell lifeless on the throne.-
With eagerncss the quad rushed
forward to seize Akajah; but, per-
ceiving the Rajah already dead,
they shrunk back dismayed, whilst
Akajah drawing his scimitar, with

and thus spake:

OLD AoE.-The neglected portion of

OH AoE.-The neglected portion of
the American family is old age, we are
sorry to say--not that We, as nation,
are disrespectful to the old, or that they
are denied or grudged anything. We per-
form the negative duty to them by avoid
ing all which shall occasion to them Of
fence or deprivation, but we do not per-
form the duty Of .assiduously seeing that
they occupy, always and only, the places
of honor and prominence nor, more
particularly, do we study to contriye, un-
tiringly and affectionately, how to COM
fort, cheer, strengthen and recuperate
them. The old man in one house may
have his chair in the drawing room, and
his place at the table, and be listened to
when he speaks, and 0beyed when he
commands. But in another house he
will have his easy chair cushioned and
pillowed, and his arm chair at the table,
and the cook will be busted most with
what will newly nourish or refresh his
more dallcate appetite; while all listen
first to his words, and address converse
tion to him as centre, and eagerly seek
for his commands as an authority. This

weighed observation in both countries)
is q fair picture between old age in Ame
rica and old age in England. We have
been sad to admit this to the commenting
traveller. 1t is an unconscious fault in
our country, an oversight of our life too
busy, our attention too oyertasked, and
our plans of home and pleasure too un-
settled and immature, but the feeling for
better things is in use, and time will bring
this feeling into action. \. P. Willis.
