BEING WoUND UP.-A lady acquaint.
ance informs us that, as she was passing
through 23l street, she saw an elegantly
dressed woman creeping along the pavement
and up the steps Of a house, where che rang
the bell in great haste. Guess what was

hoops had brolsen and wound round her
person with tenacity that rendered it i'm

"My Home"

A wandrcr in cherries land,
Uncarcd for where roam!
Yet, still, my heart with silken chords
Is linked unto my home!
OFT, in the melancholy hour,
Doth sweet remembrance come,
And bind me with its pcnsivc power,
More strongly to my Home!
I've stood upon the sea. wasl ell deck,
Mil black despair and storm,
And lravcd the horrors of the wreck,
And death in varied form;
Fen then, each surge, with snowy form
That rushed me swiftly by,
Like mingled voices from my homo,
Seemed bidding me good-by!
Where buoyant feet to music beat,
Amid the festive dance,
And lip met lip with nectar sweet,
And eye the blushing glance,
I've mingled; yet my heart was snd
And weary with the thronc,-
No charms for me the music had,
No gladness in the song.
For even then, soft Ger my soul,
Like perfume from Spring flowers,
A silent, melting music stole
Fresh from my natal bowers,
Oh, sacred spot. more dear to me
Then all the pearls Of ocean:
For thou has treasures, rich and rare,
Which claim my hcorfs devotion!
And Memry 'twcrc indeed "waste"
OF withcred hopes, and gloom,
But for the green.spot on my heart
Th'oasis Of my ll"me.
Can I forget the simple prayer
"Fn!hcr, who art in IIeavcn!'
Repeated from my mothers lips.
When mcckly bowed at event
Can l forget the manly voice,
Heard in my youthful days,
Which called mc to my fathers knee,
In censurc or in praisc2
Can forget my brother, true,
My sister, gentle, kind;
And al the simple joys of youth,
BY innocence refined!
No! they are twincd about my heart,
And ivied round my soul;
Aud never will they witlcr off
Till am pale AMI cold.
When shall sink beneath the stream
OF lifc's unnnmbcrcd ills,
Oh, take me back and let Inc dream
Beneath my native hillsi

The Chevalier Wyckoff, the very prince
of volunteer diplcma,ists and love makers to
ladies of uncertain age, is among the distin-
gnishcd strangers now in Washington.
Really, on seeing him we fancicd our eyes
were playing lis false. Instead of being
the d;.Shing bandit looking fellow, with an
eye like a hawk Mt one moment and like
Shylork's at another, As folks are apt to pic
.urc him, he appears as though bashfulness
was his bcsetting sin above all others, and in

tlcman as one would expect to meet in a

a SCENE At EDWARD EvERErr's Lee.
TuRE At ALnASY.-A letter alIudine to the
eul"gy on Geo. Washington pronounced by
the Hon. Edward Everett, at Albany, a few
evening, ago, says:
81 cannot soon forget the scene on the
stage of last evening. In the spacious pull
pit Of the Church of the distinguished cIer-
gyman and author, the Rev. DIR. Sprague :;
at his side were Judge Conking and the
venerable Mott, who more than f.iv-three
years since melted the heart Of the people
over the grave of Alexander Hamilton. On
the stage, the Chancellor of the Regents of
the University, Mr. Lansing and Gov.
King sat together. On the other side, Mr..
Fillmore. Immediately in the rear, Philip
Church, and John MilIcr-in their dav,
companions Of Washington and in front,
the great orator.
"Mr. Everett introduced an culogv on
Rufus King. which was telicitously express
cd. lie did not forgct-hc never does
to aiudc TO the fortunate men who in active
health and bright mind, could recollect
how the Father Of the Country walked
and talked among men. Scene after scene,
character after character of history, like pic
lures from the pencil Of Macauay, passed
before the audience, aud the national heart
beat high, and the fire of patriotic Telling
sparkied and shonc from hearts whence par
ty had seemed to have cursed it out.''
