linger lovingly many sweet remembrances
of the Golden time''-when with light heart
Ihave gathered wild flowers, and clambered
high up these rugged sleeps for the wood
bines, which in Summer hangs in such
gorgeous festoons from every peak, and
when wearied sat resting on some gray
old rock, and bathed my naked feet in the
bright waters below. It is here in this
same old seat that have had many day
dreams, and INDUCED in many bright hopes
hopes that faded as my girlhood passed
away.
Just above my head, on this moss-grown
old beech against which am now leaning
is my name, cut here years ago. The one
by whose hand it was cut is not with me
to-day, but tossed by the "eontending
winds of fate' is away, struggling with the
winds of life's stormy ocean. love to
wander to this lonely place. and forget, if I
can, the strife, passion, and ambition of the
world-to call up the memory of bygone
days, and live over the early hours of child
hood--the bright visions of youth, when
all was promise and anticipation, and even
to glance into the dark vista of the future.
Oh! the mysterious futurel It is well that
we connot look into it-well that we can't
see the dark hour when the death-dews will
lie chill and damp upon our brows, and
when the gathering mists of life's evening
will shut out from our eyes the scenes we
so much love. a H
Daylight is fading, and I must bring this
letter to close; but I quit this spot with
reluctance. I love to commune with nature,
for always go back to the world wiser,
better. and happier. LUELLA.

We never remember to have seen the
field canvassed from the point of view here
chosen. It is presented for the considera-
ton of our readers who may feel interested
in such matters:
g No one will contend that there are no
crimes committed by married men. Facts
would look such an assertion out of counte-
nance. But it may be said with truth, that
there are few crimes committed by married
men compared with the number com mitted
by those who are unmarried.
Whatever faults Voltaire may have had,
he certainly sho%airh himself man Of sense
when he said: ne more married men you
have, the fewer crimes there will be. Mar
riage renders man more virtuous and
wise
An unmarried man is but half of per-
feet being, andlit tssouirs the other half tc
make the thing ri ID it cannot be ex.

crimes against the peace of the community
the foundation of these acts, was laid while
in 8 single state. or where the wife is, as is
sometimes the case, an unsuitable match
Marriage changes the whole current of /:
mans feelings, and gives him a centre fo
his thoughts, his affections, and his acts
Here is a home for the entire man, and th,
counsel, the affections, the example and thu
interests Of his sbetter half keep him from
the erratic course, and from falling into
thousand temptations to which he woulc
otherwise be exposed Therefore, tn
friend to marriags is the friend to societ,
and to his country. And we have no doub
but that a similar effect is produced b,
marriage in the woman; though from tn
difference in their labors and the create
exposure to temptation on the part of th
man, we have no doubt that man reaps
grerter advantage from the restraing in
fuence of marriage than woman does.''

of his journeyings after a pardon: Had a
personal interview with the Chief Magis-
trate, and asked him for small pardon, il
he had any left. Chief Magistrate wanted
to know what position held in the rebel
lion. The answer was faint, somewhat
hesitating, and little shaky. I said
'Quartermaster.' Chief Magistrate chuck

To Lillian

never saw thee, but the music
Of thy lutte I've often heard,
Soft and plaintive, low and touching,
Like the warbling of a bird.
Ever twinkling stars, and moonlight,
Fragrant blossoms filed with dew,
Comes upon my fevered fancy,
When 1 sit and think of you.
If purchance Pm sad and lonely,
Crossed in life's uncertain aim,
The golden sunlight in the future,
Beams once more with thy sweet name.
Sunhower-ike, my heart it turns,
To gaze in dreams upon thine eye,
When thou hast gone, sunhower-like,
My hearts fond joys too often die.
Imaginations rosy fingers
Sometimes paint thy brow to me;
Hazel eyes and raven tresses,
In the airy type see.
Clustered round the spotless marble
OF thy forehead, lilly fair,
Many happy, sunny visions,
Like the smile the Angels wear.
But thine eyes, so bright and hazel,
Sometime swim in liquid tears;
And thy face, still sweet in sadness,
Sometimes sorrowful appears.
thoughts, long Durled ana forgotten
By the world, cold and untrue,
For the sleeping Southern heroes,
Still in memory are with you.
Sparkling dew-drOps, like the spangles,
On the sainted cross they bore
Falling tear-drops, like that emblem,
With the honored dead laid low.
No proud chieftain in the bosom .-
OF the grove without a bier,
Could even ask a nobler tribute
SIN rembrance +" than thy tear
Tune thy sad Eolian music,
Sing the gallant Private's fame,
He who dyed the earth with crimson,
By his deadly rifles aim.
Let the Northman's martial measure
Praise his legions who were brave;
But thy song must be of sadness,
For tits sung above the grave.
Sing low and sweet: fathers bosom
Heaves and sighs with every strain;
Sing tenderly-a mother listins-
'Tis her darling who was slain.
Sing at twilight: some heart stricken
Maiden means a soul now fed;
Sing to sad Eolian measure,
'Tis the music for the dead.

A Washington correspondent of the
Worcester Spy, signing himself observer
has seen Andrew Johnson In one of his
earnest moments. The occasion was the
great Washington meeting near the White
House, on the 22d of February. "0bser-

to the affrighted brethren of the Radical
church:

inconsequential logic, his egotism, his repe-

he faces such assemblages as were arrayed
about him yesterday. Andrew Johnson
is an able man; how able I never realized
till yesterday. An results are involved in
his policy. Had he cabinet as able and
as desperate, the dire results which the near
future would bring could hardly be esti-
mated now. We stand on the verge Of

More Precious than Rubies.

Would it not please you to pick up strings
of pearls, drops of diamonds and precious
stones as you pass along the street? 1t
would make you feel happy for month to
come. Such happiness you can give to
others. How, do you ask? By dropping
kind, sweet words as you pass along. These
are true pearls and precious stones which
never can be lost; of which none can de-
prive you. Speak to that orphan child;
bright diamonds fash his eyes. Smile on
the sad and detected; a JOY suffuses his
cheek more brilliant than the most precious
stones. By the wayside, amid the city's
din, and at the freside of the poor and
unfortunate, drop words apd smiles to cheer
and bless. You will feel happier when
resting upon your pillow at the close of the
day, than if you had picked up a score of
perishing jewels, The latter fade and crum-
BILE in time; the former grows brighter with
age, and produce happier reflections forever.

And true lovers knots ween;

But there's never bond, old friend, like this

We have drunk from the same canteen?

And they quaff to each other in sparkling wine
From glasses of crystal and green;
But guess in their golden potations they miss
The warmth of regard to be found in this
We have drunk from the same canteen
We have shared our blankets and tents together
And have marched and fought in all kinds Of
weather,
And hungry and full we have been:
Had days Of battle and days o. rest,
But this memory cling to and love the best
We have drunk from the same canteen!
But when wounded lay on the outer slope
With my blood lowing fast, and but little hone
Upon which my faint spirit could lean;

And, bleeding 50 fast 1t seemed both must have
