The power who p.tie, man, has shown
A blessing for the eyes that weep.
The light of smiles shall fill again
The lids that overflow with tears;

And grief may bide ali evening guest,
But JOY shall come with carly light.
And thou, who DER thy friends low bier
Shcddest the bitter drops like rain,

Though, with pierced and broken heart
And spuned of men, he goes to die.

TIME AND CHANGE.
BY MRS. MARY G. VAUGHAN.

In long, wide, lofty room, will
many high and narrow windows, through
which the binding, scorning rays of the
midsummer sun purcd unimpcdcd, anC
where the buz and roarr of machinery
sounded with but short half hour's
cessation, all the day great number of
girls were busily employed. The hot
air was filed with almost invisible float
ing PARTICLES Of cotton, and the wearied
workers found no refreshmcnt from its
Inhalation, but still the work went on.
On rolled the rapid stream, round
wbirled the mighty wheels, and still
clanked the vast intricate machinery-a
tyrannous and rcmorseess task master
to its painting human slaves. There was
scarce time for rest or pause, but more
than once the eyes Of those tired girls
glanced out OF the open window, with a
fcverish longing for the fresh breezes of
heaven, and the cooling shade, aud the
soft murmur of the river, but the tyrant
clankcd and roarcd, and the busy fingers
were forced to do his will.
Beside the windows which looked up
on the river, stood several looms, all
tended by one young girl AS she pass
ed from one to another, stopping here
to fasten a broken thread, and there to
adjust a shuttle, guiding the wonder
workinu machinery in its task, and lend
ing all it needed-intellcct and knowl-
edge, she glanced frequently aud wist-
fully mt the fair scene before her. The
broad river rolling on in its majesty, the
green cultivated shore beyond with here
and there pretty farm house, with
cluster Of barns, and, beyond the first
gracelul curve Of the stream, the white
white spire of the village church, as it
stood al the head Of the clm-embowercd
street.
Nearer the mill, and on the same side
of the river ust over the po'nt of land
round which it curved and beneath a
group of ancient trees which threw their
long shadows far beyond it upon the
emerald turf, small unpainted house
stood all alone. A little garden, gay
with Haunting flowers was in front, and
beyond the bank of vivid green sloped
down to the waters edge, and there two
or three sleek cows stood, with the waves
rushing against their sides, in the cool
shade of those giant trees Outside the
cottage door, a woman sat, busily en-
gagged in sewing, and two little girls by
her side, while boy of some twelve
summers was digging in the garden
beds.
1t was beautiful scene, but not for
that alone did the young girls eyes turn
SO often in that direction. That cottage
was her home, and there dwet her moth
err, the brother and her little sisters, for
whom her weary days of toll were will
lingly undertaken and heroically endur-
cd.

toll, though rendered less painful by th

Ancient Families.

It is well known that the Hiehlanders are
great Sirieklers for hereditary honors, and
trace back, with the most earnest veneration,
the origin- Of families into the rsnio,est ages.
An amusing instance Of fthis ienacity TO hold
to the dignity and antiquity of their kindred,
may be found in the case we sub1oin.
A dispute arose between Campbell and
M'Lean upon This never-dying subject
M'Lean would not allow that the Campbels
had any right 10 rank with the MT.eans in
antiquity, who he insisted, were in existence
as clan from the beginning Of the world
Campbell had little mere biblical lore than
h1 antagonist, and asked him if the M'Leau
clan lived before the food!
Flood! what food I" said M'Lean.
"Why the food that, you know, drowned
all the world but Noah, and his family, and
bis flock, +" replied Campbell. s'1 =,
" Pooh! you and your food" said M'Lean,
"my clan was afore the food"
:" have not read in the Bible, !" said Camp
bell, "of the name OF M'Lean going into No
ah's ark ~
"Noah's ark !" retorted M'Lean, in con.
tempt, "who ever heard of M'Lean, thai
had not boat of his own :"

m0nkish Legends.

In one Of his notes to "Laeon," Cotton
gives the following aocoun, of the marvel.
Ious things wrought in the bosom OF the

the saints, especially Dunstan, Dominicus and
Lupus, must have been fond Of a practical
joke, and pretty 'cute hsnds at playing il of,
too. to have so far gotten the westher-gage oI
the devl-for he is said to be "full hand.''
These legends abound with stories of pro.
diglous things, some of which are very ludi'
crous such as 81 Swilhin's making whole q

tricious making the stolen sheep bleat in the

Bridges's bacon, which in grsa, charity, she
gave 10 hungry dog, and was, after the dog
had eaten il, restored again in her kettle. OF
the like nature is the story of St. Dunsian
who took The devil by the nose with the tongs
and held him until he roared with pain
Dominicus made him hold the candle ill he
burned his fingers. Lupus imprisoned the
devil in pot all night. A eonsecraied hos

10 us. The Turks by intermarriage with
their lovely neighbors have turned the for
mer ugliness TO elegance, while the de.
scendants of the Prophet (the handsomes'
man of his tiine) at Medina, on the same
principle have almost transformed them.
selves, into negroes. During the time the
Turks were conquering people they re-.
tanned their ancient unloveliness, but soon
after they settled in Turkey, they grew idle,
married women better educated than them
selves, and the latter transmitted their beauty
to their offspring.
The face of beautiful good women at
home is like the spirit of an angel in the
house, with the air of heaven still about her,
and the light of the Eternal City in her face;
but false countenance, like veneer, cannot
stand in the sunshine of truth but warps and
twists, and turns into every fantastic form,
yet never by chance comes straight.

would be without any reference to the inter-
est OF each district, communityIin its peace,
security and order and without regard 10 the
duty of parental provision for Instruction.
The opposite system Of private schools is
based on sort Of poll tax, which contem.
plates only the duty of the parent, and ig-
nores the duty Of the State and its interest in
the peace and progress Of society. The poor
could not bear their share of poll school
tax and, therefore, the present method OF
supporting schools in part by a district tax,
and for the rest by State tax, is fair COM

Rents in Chieago.-We learn from. gen.
tleman just arrived from Chicago, that three
months since, on his arrival at that city, be
tried to lease store for stock of carriages.
He could at that time find but one, and that
not very eligible one, which was offered
at rent of $500 per month. He declined
it, and the store remained unoccupied fol
months, when it was finally offered to him
for nothing The falling of rents in Chica-
go is not at all surprising. The depression
in money matters has cooled the fever Of
land speculators, and thrown large amount
of property upon the market.
