SELECT POETRY.
The Young Widow.

She is modest, but not bashful;
Free and easy, but not bold,
Like an apple-ripe and mellow;
Not too young, and not too old
Half inviting, half repulsive,
Now advancing, and now shy,
There is mischief in her dimple,
There is danger ii her eye.
She has studied human nature;
She is schooled in all her arts
She has taken her diploma
AS mistress Of all hearts;
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile;
@. the maid is sometimes charming,
The widow all the while.
Are you sad (? how very serious
Will her handsome face become;
Are YOU angry She is wretchel,
Lonely, friendless, fearful. dumb
Are YOU mirthlul how her laughter,
Silver sounding, viii ring out;
She can lure, and catch and play out,
As the angler does the trout.
You old bachelors Of forty.
Who have grown 50 bald and wise,
Young Americans Of twenty

The COOP SHEPHERD. 49, Beneath the
burning skies and starry nights Of Palestine
there grows up between the shepherd and his
flock 4 union Of attachment and tenderness
At any moment the sheep are liable to be
swept away by some mountain torrent, or car
ried off By hill robbers, or torn by wolves
At any moment their shepherd may have to
save them BY personal hazard The shepherd
king tells us how, in defence Of his fathers
flock. he slew lion and bear, and Jacob
reminds Laban how he watched I4aban' sheep
in the day when the drought consumed them.
Every hour Of the shepherds life is risk.
Sometimes. for the sake Of an armful Of grass
in the parched summer day, he must climb
preciplces almost perpendicular, and stand on
a narrow ledge Of rock where the wild goat !
will scarcely venture. Pitiess showers, dri-
wing SHOWS, long hours Of thirst, all these he
must endure to keep the flock
How much IN all this connection there is Of
heart, of real personal attachment, is almost
inconceiyable to Is. It's strange how deep
the sympathy may become between the high
er and the lower being Alone almost in tho
desert, the Arab and his horse are one family.
Alone i'll those vast SelitudcS with no human
being near, the shepherd and the sheep feel
lte III common Differences disappear
the vast interval between the man and the
brute the single point Of uaion is strongly
felt. One is the love Of the protector, the
other the love Of the grateful life, and 50,
between lives 50 distant, there Is woven by
night and day, by summer suns and winter
trostS, a living network Of sympathy The
shepherd knows his sheep and is known Of
them.
Try to feel, b, imagining what the lonely
Syrian shepherd must feel towards the help
less things which arc the daily companions Of
his daily life, for whose safety he stands in
jeopardy every hour, and whose value is meas
ureable to him not by price but by his own
jeopardy, and then we have revealed some
notion Of the love which Jesus meant to rep.
resent that eternal tenderness which bends
over Us, infinitely lower though We be in ma.
ture and knows the name of each and the
trial, OF each. and thinks iur each with sep.
arate solctude, and gave himself for each
with a sacrifice as special. and love as per-
sonal. as ii III the whole worlds wilderness

WITTY PERvERsIoN.- a minister had a

Thus weeks passed | wasted away, for

could not work. De Witt saw all this, and
became TO me kind and gentle, treating me
more kindly than was his wont, though our
friendship had been ever Of the warmest
kind, prior to this fatal occurrence. Finally,
one day, he proposed to me that / should
visit bar short distance below our loca-
ton, and see if could get claim there.
My heart leapt for JOY when / heard this
proposition, though did hot dare to let him
know it. l had to play the hypocrite with
him, so as to mislead him. told him did
not want to 20 alone, that be should accom-
pany me, etc. 1t was finally arranged that
should 60 alone, and return in the evening
of the same day. The next morning I
started. AS soon as got out of his sight,
started on run, taking the direction of
Bidwells Bar; staid there that night.
didn't sleep wink, however, for | antici-
pated seeing De Witt every minute. The
next morning started bright and early
towards Shasta, intending to go on to Ore

thoughts; my conscience smote me. At

told me to go direct to Marysville, and make
known to the authorities there the facts
had developed to him. Acting under his
advice, went to Marysville, and had just
reached the United States Hotel, when l was

appear before the Court then in session, as
juryman. | went to the Court House imme-
diately, where saw this gentleman, (point-
ing to the writer.) and made known to him
all the facts have testified to.
This was his statement, made by him
without an interruption, and written down
by the Justice, at the time it was given.
During its delivery, the prisoner sat looking
the witness in the face. Not change came
over the countenance of Shattuck, except an
occasional look of surprise, which was easily
read to mean, How is it possible for a man
