two months have put the planters hopelessy iu the

them will never be able to extricste their crops

 NEVER MIND THE REsT.-Twas in the lovely month of June, conrted Lizzie Lee j. the crested wavclets mur- mured, and the moonbcams kissed the sea. l whispered in herear soft words her hand in mine prcst; and, as I drew her nearerstill-well, never mind the rest! We wandered slowly, hand in hand, with heads together bow'd our words were low and softly said our sighs were long and loud ! aslx'd her if she loved me, and her head droop'd on my breast; 1 listened, and the answer was-Well never mind. the rest! The evening deepened into night, the stars lit up the sky, again I whispered, and again her answer was a sigh. At that fair shrine I humby knelt my hope and love confessed was absolv'd: day was named, and never mind the rest The happy mo- ments passed away the day at length arrived my bliss was so ecstatic, 'tis a wonder 1 survived.

BRIGHT EYEs.-As $ the ladies are fond ofhearing the power their attractions descanted on, and have not been sated with such diet of late, we make no further apology for transferring to our columns the following exquisite mor- ceau from the pen ofa gifted English writer: 9
 A pair of bright eyes with a dozen glances suffice to subdue a man; to en- slave him and infaine him; to make him even forget; they dazzle him so that the past becomes straightway dim to him; and he so prizes them that he would give all his life to possess them,
 What is the fond love of dearest friends compared to this treasure? Is memory as strong as expectancy? Fruition as hunger? Gratitude as desire? have looked at the royal diamonds in the jewel rooms of Europe, and thought how wars have been made about them :; Mogul sovereigns deposed and strug- gled for them or ransomed with them {;
 millions expended to buy them and daring lives lost in digging out the lit- tie shining toys that value no more than the button on my hat. And so there arc other glittcring baubles (of rare water too,) for which men have been set to kill and quarrel ever since mankind begin, and which last but for score of years, when their sparkle is over.

THE CITY OYER THE RIVER.

There's city OCT the river, In the Eden of the blest, Where the heart is always happy, In calm, unbrokeh rest, E. And its gates arc white and pearly, And it's streets'are paved with gold, And no hearts are ever aching
 In cur Heavenly Fathers fold. In that city skies are cloudless,
 And tae flowers never die, What are blooming by the river,
 As it softly murmurs by. Where the lilies give their incense, AS the fragrant breezes blow, And they lift their balm to angels h their perfumed cups of snow. In thatcity o'er the river Angels chant celestial psalms, And no storms or tempests ever
 Come to mar eternal calms. There is never night nor darkness In that quiet. peaceful land, -z For the sun is ever shining,
 And the breezes ever bland. Oh that city Ter the river.
 Flying in the meadows green, Oft we long 10 reach it's borders,
 But the river rolls between We have loved ones waiting for us In the mansion of our King, And we long to share their quiet, And their triumph anthems sing.

 When brought to the block with only a few hours notice, she acted in strict accordance with these longings, and her only emotions were, while prepar- ing her neck for the axe, for her faith- ful attendants, and for the son who de- served so little from her. A thousand similar instances mightbe cited. Why, then, will men grieve and whine at what they cannot avoid, and think it so hard thing to lningle with the earth whence they came? They would con- tribute much more to their, happiness in this life and prolong it, too. were UHcy tO ICs5 ttt VI it ilhC tilC iStsts S.i u9, who never spoke more calmly or more philosophically than in his admirable address to his sons, announcing to them that his end had come, advising them how they should behave through life, and begging that they should not ell close his body in gold or silver, but to return it to the earth; for what, he said, could be better than to be mixed with the earth, which produces and nourishes all things that are great and good?

LOVE OF HoME.-M Men have lived long and comfortably at a great distanco| from the place of their nativity, the neighborhood of which is surely no necessary of life; yet there have been| men who have sickened and died of an] excessive longing to revisit their native| land. To this malady the Swiss were| formerly so subject that they gave it dl name signifying the disease of the coiiii4l try; the Scots, too, have suffered from it; and Homer makes Minerva say of the wandering Ulysses, that to eniov' the happiness ofagain seeing the smoke ascend from his native Ithaca he would willingly die.

B@y@A plain dress may pass current, even among handsome dresses, by be- ing worn with a neatly-fitting or dain- ty little jacket, in a color that harmon izes or contrasts. Many styles are in vogue. A simple and pretty one Is as follows: A white pique, cut to fit the form loosely; two points in front, one at each side, and three behind, the points being not more than a finger deep. These are edged with a band of celored muslin, in pattern, say lilac chain on white ground. Four stripes of the same are laid down the front, which are fastened with pearl buttons. One crosses each shoulder, and two or more in cashmere, with bright borders of embroidery, or strips of cashmere, in crimson, green and gold. Small crochet stars, in black or white set on pink or red ribbon, atregular intervals, form a pretty and effective style of trimming. Another style, equally as effective, and one still easier to make, consists of little squares of black silk, fringed all around, and tacszed on strips of yellow, green, or red ribbon. A few beads or bugles, of black glass or jet, forming star or cluster in the cen ter of each square, are great improve ment.

WEALTH. equal diffusion of riches, through any country, ever con- stitutes it's happiness. Great wealth, ill the possession of one, stagnates, and extreme poverty, with another, Keeps him ill unambtious indigence, but the moderately rich are generally active ; not too far removed from poverty to fear it's calamitics, nor too near cx- treme wealth to slackcn the nerve of labor; they remain still between both in q state of continual huctuation. How impolitic, therefore, are those laws which promote the accumulation of wealth among the rich, more impo- litic still in attempting to increase the depression on poverty. Bacon, the English philosopher, compares money to manure; if gathered ill heaps (says he) it does no good on the contrary, it becomes offensive; but being spread, though ever so thinly, over the surface of the earth, it enriches tho whole country. Thus the wealth anation pos sesses must expatiate, or it is of no benefit to the public; it becomes rather a grievance, where matrimonial laws thus confine it to a few.

With this fac, ,any man that knows the multiplication table, can arrive at the costs of any number of spindles.

The War is OVer--A True Incident.

A few weeks ago, two ladies, await ing conveyance to the cars, met in the parlor of a hotel at Lenox, Massachu- setts. They were strangers to each other. One was from this city: the other from Staten Island, New York. Both were clad i'll deep mourning, and it was very evident that these gar ments of woe covered broken hearts that beat responsively. Each felt strangely drawn towards the other by a sympathy of kindred sorrow; and, at'- ter repeatedly exchanging kindly. ten der looks, the New York lady addressed the other: : ''You, too, journey this moining?"
 '.Tes, we have a long journey before us."
 "How far do you go ?"
 ''To St. Louis. We reside there."
 You Missourians must have had a sad experience during the war l felt for you, l assure you"
 ''lndeed, madam, no one can tell what many of us have gone through. "
 Did you sylnpathize with the south ern people ?" 'l
 ''Y es madam; for l am a native of Missouri, and knew the suflerings ot the people in the seeded States, and more than all, my son. my only child, was Confederate soldier, and was killed"
 And too, my friend, lost my only son in the Federal Army" FIFE
 And with that, the mother of the Union soldier arose, crossed the room, grasped the hand and kissed the cheek of the mother of the Confederate brave saying as she did so, your son and mine laid down their lives, each con vinced that he was doing his duty."#
