MY BIRTHDAY GIFT ;
A Stray Leaf from my Journal,
BY E. NJ.

Thirty years old tomorrow Why does
my pen reluctantly trace these words p
Why am 10th to acknowledge the years
that are gomez I may as well confess it to
my own heart, and learn betimes the bitter
TRUTH am an old maid! Ay, and more
than that: there is no gentle mother to
softly kiss my brow, and whisper, "never
mind, my darling we will love each 9th
er." No fathers loving glance, no broth
ers kindly tone. Throughout this dreary
world there are none to claim me kindred.
I am alone! Clouds and thick darkness
overwhelm me and almost my despairing
heart echoes the wailing cry-"My God,
why has thou forsakcn me2"
How beautiful is the night The sum-
mer air, laden with fragrance blows fresh
ly on my cheek the stars are glittering
in the clear blue ether like myriad eyes
while over all is spread silence as pro-
found and calm as the dreamless sleep of
death. Oh, wearied, grieving heart, be
still! Do I not know that he who formed
this lovely sceRe-He who guides the pla-
nets in their course-can also pierce the
depths of my unquiet heart-can see and
know this longing, eager pain for human
love and sympathy and it, in His good
pleasure He withholds them from me-if
/ am never to meet one earnest, loving
glance-never to hear one such burning
word as knits heart to heartfelt me bow
in submission to his will, and remember
He has said
"My peace give unto you-not as the
world giveth, give | unto you"
Now l am calm; but as my brain is still
too troubled for sleep, let me place clearly
before myself my prospects for the present
and future. Here l am, plain Lucy Ben
ton, governess in Mr.. Marvin's family, be-
ing neither very talented, accomplished or
beautiful-but my mirror is before me and
will draw a -and-ink portrait for my
own qualification.
see a round English face, clear COM
plexion-just now flushed and heated with
tcars--honest, kindly-brown eyes, and a
wide mouth, but with pretty teeth, and, l
think, possessing pleasing, genial ex-
preston. OF that l am glad, for be-
lieye in the theory of the mouth being the
index Of the character. But, alas the
stamp of my thirty years is indelibly i'm
pressed on lip, cheek and brow. Never
could be mistaken for my pet and pupil
pretty Laura Marvin. Dear child! She
glided into my room tonight as the dusk
was closing in, looking, to my fond vision,
like some peri strayed from her starry
home. Her white dress enveloped herlike
angel drar cry the csrls of her hair fell
in grape-like tendrils upon her rounded
shoulders; her eyes, usually so radiant
with mirth, now had serious, loving light
in their clear depths, that made her beauty
seem unearthly. The tones of her voice,
always musical, now had murmuring ca
dence that thrilled my ear, as though
heart tones, never touched before, had been
struck aud sent up glad melody.
As she lightly pressed her lips to mine
she said
ais not this beautiful night, Miss Lu'
cy2 The flowers seem 40 fragrant my
little brook is ripping such sweet music at
the foot Of the garden walk--it even seems

A PULPIT ANECDoTE.-Somed days since
we CHANGED to be in company with several
eminent divines, who were relating nume-
rous amusing anecdotes of the pulpit
Among others, the following struck our
fancy as deserving of record:
"I was" said the reverend gentleman,
attending divine service in Norfolk, sever
al years ago, during season of some ex-
