The wine-room was the jolliest arrange
msnt of the whole. Set adrift, to use
nautical phrase, the good liquor would be
sufficient to float tolerably sized schooner.
1t is said that there were not fewer than 100
different sorts of wines, embracing the
choicest brands of Champagne, sherry, claret,
Hook, &c. The supper-room cost from 81, 500

Grapes COnduce to Health.

Man requires warmth, cheer, glow,
animation, ecstasy, rapture, and exhil-
aration, especially mental-that which
is to the mind what some stimulants or
tonics are to the body-something to
animate, inspirit, and promote gayety
and hilarity. Steady, monotonous
work creates dulness. Mirth and hope
constitute two primitive mental facul-
ties, the exercise of which is an impe-
rious necessity. And the craving for
alcoholic civilizations is mainly due
to the suppression of menta! exhilara-
tions which human nature demands
and must have from some source
Hence, denied to it in this its aatura,
form, it chooses the gross form of in
toxication as preferable to a dead mon
otony. Now grapes furnish this very
cheer. 1t delights, encircles, and
warns the blood, sends into the sur
face, and thereby relieves congestion
Vivacity is its legitimate product; ne
panacea equals it as remedial agent
Nor is any form of mental discipline
equally promotive of cerebral action
for after relieving the brain of surplus
blood it reincreases its efficacy. Word
can but poorly express the beneficial
effects of the grape on human life
physically, intellectually, and morally

Mother, you told me, when the bell tolPd solemnly
and slow,
As we saw the mourners weeping, and old Robins
funeral go,
That the churchyard, then so dreary, so Aewerless
and cold,
Was the last home of the weary, the rest place for
the old;
So did not fear for long, long time to pass the
tombstones by,
For knew was not very DID, and thought could
not die
But, mother! meath the dark yews where we saw
his funeral pass,
saw, oh such little mound, half hidden in the
grass:
And could not get it out of mind, and when my
prayers said. Hat .sne9
thought of the cold, cold churchyard, and that
little narrow bed.
And then knew that such as l, Death sometimes
takes away, Tr
And if were not good, too might in the church
yard stay;
And pray God will not let go in the cold, cold
grass to lie,
Because love you, love you, love you so do not
want to die.

said the man called Thomas, giving the
pedlar violent pull, which nearly up
set him."
The Yankee turned and faced his un-
expected assailant-piacing his hands
spread out upon his knees, and bending
with his head thrust forward in a pecu-
liar manner, he looked into the face of
the man who addressed him so roughly
as if he would read his very soul
"Look a-here, Mr.. What-do-ye-call-

If any of our readers have had the
opportunity of visiting the Art Union
in the city of New York, and seen the
picture lately exhibiting there, entitled,
'sThe first news of the Battle of Lex
ington," and marked the figure of a
blacksmith in the foreground, with his
hands clenched as if in the act to strike
down some approaching foe, they can
form some idea of the appearance of
the pedlar as he stood facing the quon-
dam servant of Harry Morgan. The
doughty Thomas shrunk-not so much
from the menacing fists, as from the
stern gaze of the despised vender of
goods. But soon the attention of both
was directed from themselves to the
combatents at the foot of the hill.
The pedlar, unmolested by Thomas,
now added shouts Of JOY to his other
EXPLANATIONS, as he perceived Harry
with his knee placed npon the PROSTATE
form of leader of the troop of horse
rnen-and the rest having been dis
armed by the farmers, were now adject-
ly pleading for their lives.
"Do you know me, Harry Morgan ?''
said the defeated Briton, looking up
into the flushed face of his opponent.

but no sooner did he gain his feet, than
he called his men to mount and follow
him, and ere he gained his own saddle
he approached the young American.

CHAPTER II.

The sun had gone down in clouds the
night before, but contrary to expecta-
ton the next morning was clear and
beautiful; and though the dew drops
still hung heavily upon the leaves, they
but added to their freshness. Through
the uncut forest lay their route-and
after the deep feelings of emotion at
parting with the bride for the first time
were somewhat quieted in the bosom
of Harry Margan-his eye drank in the
beauty of the scene around him, and he
indulged in one of those reveries to
which the bouyant heart of youth, as
well as the more serious one of mature
age is often subject. AS he rode along,
sometimes brushing past the unyielding
branches of the sturdy oak, aud then
bending easily the graceful willow, he
traced resemblance in his own mind
between the trees of the forest, and
mankind in general. s'Now this giant
oak" thought he, is like a great man
firm, lofty, magnanimous, amid all the
vicissitudes of life. The pine, which
preserves it's verdure even through the
wintry SHOWS, is like the good and vir-
tuous whose characters remain unblem-
ished amid all the temptations of the
world. The willow, is the emblem oi
affection-bends beneath the storms ol
misfortune, and points to the grave as
the only refuge from care and sorrow
The locust, which sheds its leaves ere
autumn, is like the sanguine hopes Of
youth, so quickly blasted, even in theil
spring while those whose verdure
changes to the scar and yellow leaf are
like old age-the dull, cold winter o.
life, when its gay scenes have ceased
to charm. And what is to be my fate
like the oak to bear unfinching what
ever may betide-or to be overthrow
in the midst of high antisipations, and
die unhonored and unknown. "But

his sollloquy by perceiving a suddel
termination to the direct path, "we ar

As sands through opened fingers,
As grain upon the breeze,
As beads from broken rosaries,
As leaves from frost-touched trees,
So slip and fall, beyond recall,
The lost hours in Times worldwide hail.
The child's in artless prattle;
The youths in artless scheme;
The mans in vain endeavors;
The maiden's fleeting dreams;
And evermore the breakers roar,
Ger lost hours wrecked on Times rough shore
We hear low voices lifted,
About some new made grave;
We see white faces glancing,
Then sinking in the wave;
And such things wake. for sweet loves sake
The songs that seddest echos make
And as sost hours slip onward,
As with them go our gains,
We wait in vain their coming
With pleasure for our pains;
The ebb and flow that tide may know
That sweeps the open sea of woe.

The Modern Belle.
By JOHN G. SAKE.

The daughter sits in the parlor 90
And rocks in her easy chair; 300 fs
She's clad in her silks and satins
And jewels are in her hair f, T
She winks and giggles and simpers,
And shippers and giggles and winks,
And though she talks but little,
'Tis vastly more than she thinks.
Her father goes clad in russet,
And ragged and seedy at that
His coat is out at the elbow,
He wears shocking bad hat,
He's boarding and saving his shillings,
So carefully day by day,
While she on the beaux and poodles,
Is throwing them all awayl dsf af
She lies a-bed in the morning,
Till nearly the hour of noon, aeat
Then comes down swapping and snarling,
Because she was called too soon;
Her hair is still in the papers,
Her cheeks still dabbled with paint,
Remains of the last nights bushes,
Before she intended to faint. fs
She doats upon men unshaven, 81
And men with the Glowing bair'
She's eloquent over moustaches,
They give such foreign air,
She talks Of Italian music,
And falls in love with the moon,
And though but mouse should meet her,
She sinks away in a swoon.
Her feet are 50 very little,
Her hands are so very white,
Her jewels are so very heavy,
Her head is so very light; fs lss
Her color is made of cosmetics,
Though this she never will own,
Her body's made most of cotton,
Her heart is made wholly of stone.
She falls in love with fellow,
Who swells with foreign air,
He marries her for her money, ~
She marries him for his hair;
One of the very best matches
Both are well mated for life,
She's got fool for husband,
He's got fool for wife.
