A YOUNG LADY,s soL1LoauY.

Usclessly amlessly drifting through life,
What was born forl "For somebody's wife,"
i am told by my mother. Well, that being true,
Somebody" keeps himself strangely from view
And If nought but marriage will settle my fate,
! believe shall die in unsettled state.
For, though Pm not ugy-pray, what woman iS'
You might easily find more beautiful phiz;
And then, as for temper and manners, tits plain
Who seeks for perfection will seek here in vain,
Nay, in spite of these drawbacks, my heart Is
pcrvcrse.
And should not feel grateful 'for better worse
To take the first Booty that graciously came,
And offered those treasures, his home and his
name.
think, then my chances Of marriage are small,
But why should ] think Of such chances at all .
My brothers are, all of them, younger than
Yet they strive iu the world, and why not let me
try7
| know that in business I'm not nn adept,
Because from such matters most strictly Pm kept
But--this is the question that puzzles my mind
Why am / not trained up TO work Of some kind
Uselessly, aimessly drifting through life,
Why should / wait TO be " Somebody's wife 2"

A STRICT REGARD TO TRUTu.-A
strict regard to truth should influence
the conduct of mothors in their daily
intercourse with their childre, 81
houhM yow would not do mrong," said a
young lady to her mother, referring to
her childhood, "and L watched you
closely to see whether you would or
not. / even hoped that / should de-
tect you in falsohood. One day
went to school in the morning, fully
believing / had done so but found on
returning home that / was mistaken" T"
OF all this the mother was ignorant.
How strikingly does this fact prove
that our children are constantly acting
as spies upon our conduct, and that
we may easily lead them into course
of evil without being sensible of it,
The fact was simply this; the child
had frequently expressed a strong de-
sire for particular kind Of food, and
had often been told that she should
have it as soon as convenience per-
mitted. This had occasioned delay,
until the child believed that her moth
or had not spoken the truth. As it
proved otherwise, her confidence in her
mothers integrity was restored, and
the little incident never forgotten. 1t
is to be feared that many an unsus-
pecting mother has thus, prepared tho
way, and even given the force of her
daily conduct in her family, to any
thing rather than truth; and her
children, being left to make their own
inferrences aud observation, are left
to act accordingly. :" Train up your
child in the way he should go" should
be written in legible characters, by
fathers and mothers, in all family mat
ters. ff He.m. ,a, = -. !,

COMING OF WINTER.
BY T. BUCHANAN READ

BY T. BUCHANAN READ a
Autumn Is signing,
Moaning, dying;
Clouds are flying
On like steeds
While their shadows
Ger the meadows
Walk like widows
Decked in weeds.
Red leaves trailing,
Fall unfaiing,
Dropping, sailing,
From the wood,
That, unplaint,
Stands defiant,
Like giant
Dropping blood.
Winds are swelling
Round our dwelling.
All day telling
Us their woe,
And at yespcr
Frosts grow crisper
As they whisper
OF the snow.
From the unseen land,
Frozen inland,
Down from Greenland,
n Winter glidos,
Shedding lightncss,
Like the brightness
When moon whiteness
Fills the tides.
Now bright pleasures
Sparkling measures
Overflow
With this gladness
Comes what sadness
o, what madness!
o, what woe
Even merit
May inherit
Some bare garret,
Or the ground;
Or, n worse i'll,
Beg n morsel
At some door-sill,
Like hound
Storms are trailing,
Wini is are wailing,
Howling, railing
At each door.
Midst this trailing,
lIowling railing

WHAT WAS TO HAVE BEEN.

| We printed yesterday rather noticeable
editorial from Tie London Times. containing
the views Of that journal upon the military
situation in America not long before the battle
of Gettysburg, and the surrender of Vicksburg
and Port Hudson. The views were OF course
prophetic, for The Times is as fertile OF pre-
dictions as an American Secretary OF State.
and though, like him. it is regularly contra
dicted by events, its courage never falten.
Its American readers have the pleasure Of re-
gardiDg these productions of British perspcaclty
IN the light OF the facts subsequently occurring.
and if, therefore, they do not possess exactly tho
same historical value for us, which our British
friends set on them at the moment, they at
least afford us a means OF estimating what
those amiable creatures would like to have
happen. if they had tho ordering OF our affairs.
In other words, they are another Illustration
Of the inestinabls advantages Of what is called
British Neutrality, aud shall have due con.
sideration accordingly.
The Times, then, assures US that
The Con.derstes prepared either TO demolish 0ss

loss of that place " as great and critical

announces that Gen. Grant has "an impossible
task before him, with an advancing foe and

dreary prospect, hardly CLEAN Of hope from
any other quarter" and concludes on tho
whole that 10 the state of things in tho

cess, and a very wide margin indeed for every
conceivable amount Of disasters
Considering what were the actual results n
the different cases thus anticipated, we can
afford to laugh both at the plumbers aud tho
malignant i.will of The Times. The only
thing We have really to fear is that the news
Of our subsequent victories may convince taas
journal that the end OF the Rebellion 10 as
hand, and that it may, in consequence, desert
the cause which it has 90 long upheld, and
appear as tho partisan Of the Government. and
the eulogist of the Republic. Let us hope to
be- spared that humiliation. We have borne
with indifference its tnunts, and ISLANDERS, and
insults. but it is too much to expect that
Americans should endure its praises with good
temper, or patiently suffer its congratulations
on victory which it has steadily done its At
most to prevent.
