The Dying hoy and tho vIolets.

A little sufferer lay in high, dreary gar
ret, and the beams above him and on every
side were black and foul. His cheeks were
scarlet with the flush of fever, and the un-
natural light ofhis eyes flashed in the 3lm-
ness of the coming evening Ikea Diamond
on its gloomy bed of anthracite. Some
thing told the child that death WIS busy
with his heart. 1t might have been an
angel, for angels gather in bands around
the despised couch of poverty. @
''Mother," he whispered, and a pale bent
woman knelt beside him. sis there one
blown now? Lookl lookp
For the twentieth time the sickly woman
lifted the tiny box of violets, and the blood
rushed to her face as she beheld one little
bud dropping, just beginning to unfold. She
carried it to the child, almost an infant, and
a sweet smile lighted up his innocent fea-
lures. -.-f.
Put it down mother, where l can look at
it until die.
With a wild sob the poor widow placed
it upon his pillow, and watched his CLASSY
eyes eagerly as they watched the flower.
Hours passed, the brow grew winter the
fingers that she clasped were now clammy,
the round lips that had SO often called her
mother were purple, fading into a blush
white, and tremulous as though the failing
voice struggled for utterance. She placed
her little face, and heard him utter distinct

After the rough pine cofiin.wa carried
away and covered with the mould, while
her worn fingers were nervously stitching
on the i'll paid for garment that mother
could see a vision of her early buried child
in the pure white robes of heaven, bending
over the box of violets.

An action was instituted against the of
fender, and he was brought up to trial for
speaking in "sarmon time" When the
penalty was about to be adjudged, the pris-

overthrew the logic of the prosecution, by
declaring to their honors and the jury, if
they had one, that he had not spoken in
'sarmon time," but in guessing time" =
The judge let him go at liberty.

esq A Gem IN tiAe IStTcEs
A young mother, with tears Of bereaye
ment in her eyes, stood over the River o
Death gazing wistfully into its dark anC
sluggish waters, as fshe would fain rest he
gaze upon some object away down-dowr
in its fathomless depths. She gazed long
and wistfully, and the black waves rolled
sullenly, slgggishly onward.
And the mother laid her hand submiss-
ivly on her bosom and wept, and said "My
gem my gent
And celestial being, like an angel,
stood near the hidden door Of her heart
and whispered in silyery voice like music,
"What seekest thou, mourning sister y
HAlasp said the mourner, 81 once, even
yesterday, wore beautiful gem in my bos-
ON. To me it was invaluable-it was nc
trivial gem, il was one that kings and mon
archs might well have been proud of. The
riches of the. east could not have purchased
it from me. In an hour that to me was evil
and miserable, the gem dropped from my
bosom into the black night of this deep
river. As / saw it floating away from me
gently as the coming of an eastern
shadow, Preached after it, but it was beyond
my grasp, and my gem-my babe, smiled
upon me, as it was riding on the waves
further from me. 1t began to sink-to
sink from my sight, and ia a moment my
gem was gone-and gone forever! and she
turned sorrowfully away.
And the angel voice whispered again,
"Stay, sister, grieve not, look again into the
dark river"
She looked as she was bid, and cry of
raptuous JOY burst from her lips. "Thanks
to thee, Fatherl I see my gem floating in
great black wave o, may not wear it
in my bosom again y
''Stay my sister, thou art deceived; what
thou seost in the river is not thy gem; it is
the shadow of what was given thee in trust.
Look, sister, heavenward, and bid the
mourning heart rejoice"
She looked aloft, and away up in the dark
beclouded sky, she saw single spot clear,
and blue, and In. tia bright star was gleam-
ing, and in its silvery rays came down and
danced on the gloomy river, giving the
black wave a brightness, as if silvered
through and through and away down many
fathoms the bright reflection rested, and
this tho mourner thought was her lost gem.
She gazed silently upon the scene, and the
star from heaven was shining. "a, "a.
And the voice of the angel came again,
like unto the sweet song of many instru-
inents Of music, saying, @Sister, the gloomy
waves thou seest though cold and dark, and
terrible, roll eeaselessly onward up to the
great gate of heaven, and thither they bore
thy mourned-for gem, which the good father
lent thee; the waves have borne,it back to
him, and it blooms and shines forever near
the throne, like yon brightly beamihg star
eThevoice was hushed, and the sorrowing
mother turned away with her eyes lifted
from the earth and gloomy river, and fixed
thcm hopefully and wistfully on heaven.

The wicked Gnash their Teeth.

The following is from the Washington
Union, organ of the Pierce and Buchanan
Administrations:
PRIEST RIDDEN NEW ENaLAND. The
result of the presidential election in New
England proves that a majority other peo-
pie have bowed their necks to the dominion
of religious fanaticism. While their hearts
are bleeding over the condition of slavery in
which the negroes at the South are placed,
they seem to be wholly unconscious that
they are the victims of far worse servility
themselves. They are the slaves of passion
of prejudice, of religious tyranny !; and yet
they hug their own chains of absolute sub
lection to puritanical fanaticism, and think
they arc doing God service in shedding
tears over the servility Of southern slaves,
who neither desire orneed their sympathies.
New England is to day groaning under a
despotism which challenges PARALLEL in
any other part of the world. They labor
under thedelusion that they are free men,
and they boast loudly of their devotion tc
freedom. But there is no freedom in New
England. The Church is supreme over the
minds of the priest-ridden people. They dc
not think for themselves, but the political
oracles of the pulpit do their thinking. The
worst species of despotism is that in
which the mind is enslaved. That is the
despotism which bfoods over New England.
The slave of the South is happy and con-
tented with his condition He knows that
he is not fitted by nature for freedom, and
he is contented with the guardian protec-
ton which he enjoys from humane and kind
masters. The New England men are de
ludod with the idea that they are free, and
yet they are wearing the chains of enslaved
intellectual beings. They look to their re-
ligious teachers for their thoughts aud they
follow the dictates of bigotry and fanaticism
with slavish submission. They accept
whatever falsehood, whether of doctrine or oi
fact, that their religious guides choose to i'm
pose upon them. Church and State are
virtually one in New England. The power
of the pulpit is supreme, and it has just
been exerted in debating the vote cast fol

SUccEss.-Suceess prompts to exertion,
and habit facilitates success. Habit also
gives promptnesS, and the soul Of despatch
is decision. One man writes book or prints
a picture, while another is deliberating about
a plant ora title-page. The more we do,
the more We can do. If we go forward
with spirit and confidence, we shall succeed.
The best are idle half the time, and he who
does nothing, renders himself incapable of
doing anything, while capacity is invigora-
ted by occasions of necessity. Our expen-
diture of intellectual wealth makes us rich,
and we ACQUIRE ideas by imparting them.

Passing neat little martinbox of house
last evening, we happened to see a man
waiting at the door for admittance. AT
the Instant a green blind above just opened
a little way, and by the gas light we caught
a glimpse of a pair of brilliant eyes, and a
fluttering of something white and a bird
toned voice softly said, :'Who's there p sits
me- was the brief response. The eyes and
the futter disappeared from the window,
like stars in cloud, and we almost fancied
as we passed on, we could hear the pattcr-
ing of two little feet upon the stairs, winged
with welcome.
Itwas trihe; it all happened in an in
slant but it haunted US for an hour. It's
me! Amid the jar ofthe great city those
words fell upon the quick ear alof and met
a glad response.
Its me! And who was me? The pride
of hearts life no doubt; the tree a vine
was clinging to; the defender of the faith
fal, in the best sense in the world.
I Its mel Many there are who would give
half their hearts, and more than half their
hope in them, for such recognition, in this
wide, wide world" On Change, in the
Directory, at the Post Office, he was known
as A. B. c., Esq, but on the threshold, and
within those walls Hit's me" and nothing
more; and what more is there one would
love to be? ... ----
Few ofalI the hearts that beat so wildly,
warmly, sadly, slowly, can recognize true
soul amid the dim and darkness of the world
in that simple but eloquent It's me. As if

SUFFERING IS UNIvERsAL.-Suferings
fill a large space in the present life; they
press upon US on every side. Throughout the
intertangled web of existence may be seen
its dark threads and sombre colorS; and no
condition of life, however fortunate, but
which has its full share. Over the entire
field of human existence the thorn and the
thistle spontaneously grow. They may in
some measure be rooted out by constant
care, or cut down before they reach maturi-
ty. But in some nook or corner of the in
closure, some neglected spot often, indeed,
where the soil is the richest, they will spring
up and reach their perfection, and scatter
a new harvest over the most cultivated por-
tion of the field.

THE SHADOW on THE PILLow.-A High
land soldier iu the Crimea had his arm so
severely mangled that it was about to be
amputated, when that heroic lady, Miss
Nightingale requested the operation delay
ed, as she thought that under careful nurs-
ing the arm might be preserved. By her
unremitting care this was accomplished, and
the poor soldier, on being asked how he felt
towards his preserver, said that the only
mode he had of giving vent to his feelings,
was by kissing her shadow when it fell on
his pillow, as she passed through the ward
on her nightly visit.
