Aunt Marcy's Fireside.

|
It's all mighty nice, girls to talk about who
you tsOuId marry and who you toouldn't; but
you'll jist have the one that's intended for you,
no matter how yeu turn and twist, and try to
get out of it-for have lived long enough in
this blessed world to know that what's goin' to
be ,OiH be-: tell you, am a strong believer
in matches bein' made in Heaven-though, in
comm down, must confess, they somehow get
wonderfully wrong sometimes; but, you know,
we havnt got nothing to do with that! Well
as was goin' to say, I have knowed people to
hate each other like pizen,; and then turn right
round and get married now, nobody could
make me believe that's chance: l tell you,- it. s
got to be, and they can't help it Now, there
is the case of yer Aunt Comfort-you have often
heard yer Par and me talkin' about her: She
was the oldest one of US, and a mighty purity
girl she was, too. I was nothn' but a child
then, but | remember we'll how she looked
You are good deal like her, Agnes; only she
didn't dls6ger h:rself with all them nonsenical
fixins you wear. Well, as was gon' TO say,
her case will 60 to prove what | was tellin'
you. She, as well as Iii the rest of us, had her
likes and dslikes, and, among the latter, there
was nothin' she hated so bad as your Uncle
Isaiah Doolittle. | have seen her treat that
poor man shameful but he sot such store by
her, he'd ave let her pulled every hair out Of his
head and not holered, do really believe Yer
grandfather thought there was nethn' in the
world like him. and made up his mind that Com
fort should marry him; and she was bent, bound
and determined she wouldnf. Well, things
went on in that way for sometime. Comfort
had lots of lovyers that would have given their
right eye for her, but still she kept single and
Isaiah, he kept on comm, bearin' all her bad
treatment like a martyr, and takin' no notice
of her tantrums, but was as kind to her as NOR
tai man could be, until she couldn't stand il no
longer, and married him,-and | guess there
never was happier couple lived t0gether-
Now, do you pretend to say, that was not in
tended Do you believe that Isaiah would have
stood all he did, if he could have helped it =
-YO-he ,COuldRt! So, you needn't set there
maxim yer celebrations about marry ing,-y0u
will see, sometime, that yer old Aunt was right,
IT you do think now she don't know nothin'. But,
dear me things have changed so, it don't seem
like the same world i: was once. Girls are so
high-fying nowadays, you can't make any
sense out OF 'em they never take notice of a
man for his moral worth,-no, indeed /; it's your
fne-dressed monkeys Il won't call 'em meu)
who often put me in mind Of terrapins, by car
rying all they own on their backs and nothin'
in their heads; and who, if companion in
guilt tap them on the shoulder in the street, are
afraid to look behind: expectn' to see the
constable after 'em. Thems the kind that
takes with the girls now! What will the world
come to! 1t wasn'tso in my day, girls,-sense
brought the price then, that nonsense aud fool
cry does now. III.

BY LONGFRLLOw.

Thou, too, sail on, q ship of State!
Sail on. o Union, strong aud great!
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
We know that Masters laid thy kneel,
What WOrkmen wrought thy ribs of steel,
Who made each mast, and sail, and rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what forge and what heat
Were shaped the anchors OF thy hope!
Fear not each sudden sound aud shock
'Tis of the wave and not the rock;
'ris but the tapping of the sail,
And not rent made by the gale
IN spite of rock and tempest'roar,
ln spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee.
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears
Our faith triumphant Ger our fears,
Are all with thee-are all with thee!

Winter.

IT'S done! dread winter spreads his latest gooms
And reigns tremendous o'er the conquered year,
How dead the vegetable kingdom lies!
How dumb the tuneful! horror wide extends
His desolate domain! Behold fond man!
See here thy pictured life pass some few years,
Thy flowing spring, thy summers ardent
strength,
Thy sober autumn fading into age,
And shuts the scene.''
Yes dread Winter is here. The spring and
summer of beauty have past, and the season of
old age and death has come. The strong arm
has shrunk and withered. The vigor of life
has past, and all around "The desoate pros
poets fill the SOUL"
But in winter there is bright reflection,
at doth contain another teeming spring.
Summer and Autumn have secured the seeds
of another harvest. The buds will swell again
into foliage, and the flowers bloom. The germ
OF another life is concealed within. The corn
will spring forth and mature and bless again
The germ is not destroyed-the life is yet
there
Winter is, in the seasons, as the period of
old age in human ife--that period when the
labor of life has been performed-that period
at which man arrives when he has acted his
part on the stage, in the great drama, and Is
ready to report his work and receive his re-
ward. The winter is at hand when the body
shall decay and die, but within is the germ OF
future lite. Man has the assurance that the
spirit is immortal-that he shall live again.
There is no season more suitable for solemn
reflection. DO not fail to learn from the EVIL
dences which surround you! The scowling
sky-the fallen leat-the darkened earth, tell you
OF DEATH The well filled garners and the ripen.
ed fruit tell you of the goodness and wisdom o
God The germ that lives through the frosts
of winter to spring forth again TO life, is en-
blematlc of your Immortality. Let these evil
dences prompt to that action which they con-
vince US Is proper. Let us be active in the
duties of life whi.eye the vigor of manhood is
with us, and ere our winter has come. Let us
then be able to sit down among the fruits aud
blessings of well-spent life, and look with
confidence to the life which is in the future

Woman's Love,
BY AMELIA.

BY AMELIA.
Like the desert blooming rose,
Like the pearly stream that flows
In some far off, foreign land,
Through the waste of burning sand,
And upon the trav'ler's burst,
Hailed to crafty their thirst.
Like the lately prison'd bird,
Whose sweet notes of joy are heard
Like all these things, woma MS love
Doth a source of pleasure prove,
And unto the weary heart
Peace and gladness doth impart.
Like the ivy still it clings
To the ruin whence it springs,
And its tendrils ever twine
Greenest on mould'ring shrine.
Like the stars that shed their light
Brightest in the darkest night;
Beauty all, below, above,
Emblems woman's peerless love.
Bali. Patriot.
