And the midnight hour is near;
The faggot's crack, and the clocks full tick,
Are the only sounds hear.
And over my soul IN solitude,
Sweet feelings of sadness glide, =
For my heart and my eyes arefull when think
Of the little boy that died.
I went one night to my fathers house
Went home to the dear ones all
And softly opened the garden gate,
And softly the door Of the hall.
My mother came out to meet her son,
She kissed me, and then she sighed
And her head fell on my neck, and she wept
For the little boy that died.
I shall miss him when the flowers come,
In the garden where he played;
I shall miss him more by the freside,
When the flowers have all decayed.
I shall see his toys and his empty chair,
And the horse he used to ride;
And they will speak, with silent speech,
OF the little boy that died.
We shall 60 home to sour Fathers" house
To s'our Fathers house in the skies,
Where the hopes of souls shall have no blight,
Our love no broken ties. =.
We shall roam on the banks of the river of peace,
And battle in its blissful tide;
And one of the joys of our heaven shall be
The little boy that died.

TRIAL AND TRIUMPH,
BY THE AUTHOR OF ''GRAcE TEMPLEToN," "THE
WIFE," AND OTHER TALES.
CHAPTER III.

1t was q brilliant evening at Saratoga !!
Seldom had such an array of beauty and
wealth met together even in its crowded sa-
looms. Merry feet were beating joyous time
to the music of the dance happy hearts
were throbbing high with pleasure, and gay
ETY. and Joy ruled the hour. RESTING upon
the arm of a distinguished Senator stood
Clara Manvers. No art was required to set
off that 1.-THE and graceful form. Her dress
mis- ght have served as a robe for the Madon-
ma, so pure, so chaste its perfect arrange
ment. The heavy folds of her raven hair
were wound in classic braids around beau
tiful head. A pendant spray of ruby fus-
chias dropped on either side. A rich color,
deepened by excitement, rested her cheek
and gave an added lustre to the dark eyes.
She was intently watching the movements Of
the most graceful of the dancers, when a
manly voice, musically low, addressed her.
"Can it be that the glowing promise Of
Clara Seaborne's childhood is fulfilled in
such a glorious womanhood as this? The
laughing Hebe has become the perfect Aph.
rodite"
Slowly, calmly, moved the beautiful head
not muscle trembled, till, her gaze resting
full upon the speaker, the freezing "Sir %
left the shadow of scorn upon the beauti'
full lip.
"Forgive me, if I have offended; but
Clara Seaborne's name has been so familiar
in heart-memory that I gave utterance to
what the eyes alone should speak. Clara,
you have not forgotten me, or if the out
ward man is changed, tell me you remem

upon his finger.
A flush of crimson spread over cheek
brow-even the neck was flooded with th'
rosy hue; for an instant her lip was tight.
compressed, then the burning blush died a
way leaving the face shade paler than wa
wont, and calmly she spoke, 81 remembe

Her hand was partly extended. He hur

TOM HOBSON.---No. III.
A NEW DISCOVERY.

A NEW DISCOVERY.
The last view our readers had of Tom
Hobson, he was seen standing with mouth
widely distended and eyes intensely fixed, as
though he was gazing upon the mixed mul-
titude, part of which had run almost out
of breath, and others quite out of funds,
while giving chase to the phantom offashion.
And while with others, the adjusting of ap-
pareI, so as to attract and please the ftful
whims ofpublic taste was matter of choice,
yet with Tom it was serious thing-a sober
reality-a stern necessity. His physical de-
formity obliged him to summons to his aid
the devices of art, before he could pass with
credit, the ordeal of fashionable criticism.-
The question was not whether he could keep
apace with the uncomfortable and ever chang
ing creature of fashion-of this he had long
despaired; but the matter of debate was,
might he not with impunity, make some in
novation upon the skin-tight trowsers, girted
down to the heel with raw-hide straps, which
in dry weather were never satisfied unless
they were drawing the feet upward, as II II
was unsafe for them to dwell upon the
earth!
Between the raw-hide straps below, and
the copperas-cloth suspenders above, there
was waged continual warfare. The sus,
penders at the first we're not so obstinate, but
after they had been twisted into round
cord and knotted to suit the varying demands
of the straps, they at last refused to yield
another inch The straps would surrender
in moist weather, but when the SUD shone
out, they would pull and draw downward
most resolutely. In the midst of these rest
less disputants, Toms outer self was chafed
and tortured beyond endurance. To thi:
chafng, however, he could have submitted
if these contrary forces had not so clampet
his locomotive as to prevent its motion being

than doubt, suspicion, or discomfort, is worse
than the incendiary who fires at midnight
the dwelling that projects helpless house

other kindles in the soul a fire of torture that
never dies in life or death"
"Look you, Dudley, am not disposed to
be patient under censorship, I'll do and dare
more than I'll bear and suffer. My blood
be upon my own head-your lecture has
cleared your skirts. Be satisfied, pleasure
is the god of my idolatry and l follow it to

Good and bad Luck.

Good and bad luck are much more in

There are men who supposing Provi'

them bemoan in poverty Of a wreiched
old age the misfortune Of their lives.
Luck forever ran against them and for
others. One. with good profession,
los, his luck in the river, where I've idled
away his time fishing, when he should
have been in the office. Another, with
good trade, perpetuslIy burnt up his
luck with his temper, which provoked al
his employers TO leave hin. Another,
with a lucrative business, lost his luck by
amazing diligence at everything but his
business. Another, who was honest and
constan, al his work erred by perpetual
misjucgments be lacked discretion.
Hundreds lost theT luck by endorsing :

Fashionable Women,

An energetic and truthful writer thus
sums up the case Of fashionable women
Fashion kills more women than toll and
sorrow. Obedience TO fashion is great
transgression of the laws 0. woman's ma
ture, a greater injury 10 her physical and
mental constitution, than the hardshlps OF
poverty and neglect. The slave woman
al her tasks will live and grow old, and
see too or three generations OF her mis-
iresses fade and pass away. The wash
erwoman with scarce ray OF hope 10
cheer her in her tolls, will live 10 see her
fashionable sisters all die around her.
The kitchen-mad is hearty and strong
when her lady has to be nursed like ba-
by. II is a sad truth that fashlon.pam-
pered women are almost worthless for all
the good ends OF human life. They have
but little force of character /; they have
sull less power Of will, and quite as little
physical energy. They live for no great
purpose in h(e-they accomplish no
great ends. They are only doll forms in
the hands of miIliners and servants, TO be
dressed and fed to order. They dress no.
body; they feed nobody; they instruc,
nobody they bless nobody and save no.,

no rich examples of virtue and womanly
life. If they rear children, servants and
nurses do all, save to conceive and give
them birth. And when reared. what are

A Fearful Accident.

"A Nan Jerked up 10 The Top Of q
Heepie.-An extraordinary accident oc-
CURED in Wheeling, Va, last Friday, 10
a workman who was assisting in putting
up a new bell in the Catholic church
there. The Wheeling InleIligencer gives
the following account Of it.
There was a windsss erected on the
ground to which was attached a snatch
block and shieve. Immediately above

The bell was 10 be drawn up, there pro-

was to have been conveyed TO the top by
means of strong ropes, working through

bell had been raised in this way most

the men were ust ready to pull II IN. A
man named Thomas Newton was below,
engaged in guiding the folds OF tie ropes
