NIGHT AND DAY.

Night and Day disputed with each 9th

The fiery, glittering boy, Day, commenced
the dispute: er 1au J..

SYMPATHY FOR SoLDIERs-We have on
exemplifcation of the practical love of the
Jacobins for soldiers. They will make a
great ado over an officer if they think they
can thereby make political capital, but the
common soldier gets no show at their
hands. At Waterbury Center last week
a blind soldier. man who had lost his
eye,sight fighting for his country, was
about to take the stage for Waterbury.
The only vacant place about the heavily
loaded vehicle was on the baggage
Among the inside passengers were G. s.
Page, a noted radical of Hyde Park, an
Ohio Jacobin, and Others of that ilk.
Did they show their love for the soldier,
by proffering their comfortable places to
the blind veteran whom that sturdy Dem.
ocrat, "mine host AS. Wrisley. was
getting passage for? Not they. They
were immovablc, and but that Democrat

PICTURES IN SMOKE.

Wapt in dreamy quletude sit, N.
Leisurely putting at my my choice cigar,
While down the moorbeams, with a noiseles
tread,
throug Of elves come tripping from atar.
HalEconsciously the fairiest I invoke
To pant me pictures In the tinted smoke.
Old scenes of boy hoods carless romps ant
sport
Faces of schoolmates, fresh, and young, ant
fair
Grim pedagogues with frowning front and brow
Long shining curls and braids of silken hair
Soft hands rcd smarting meath the ferule'l
stroke,
Or clasped in pictured in smoke
Familiar 1ireside scenes-the light of home
The goodnight kiss and trudging off to bed
The petty qusrrels and the 'makings-up''-
The mothers cool hand resting on the head
The shadowy moonlight on a hillside oak.
And fancies vague-all radiant in the smoke.
The shy coquetting with the first boy,love-
The awkward gallantry of unripe years
The childish gifts-the long walks after school
The Sights that brought burst of angry
tears
The feuds and duels that such sights provoke
How vividly they're painted in the smoke.
The first time leaving home-the last goodbye
The aching sense of loneliness and pain
New cares and trials-real life commenced
The Grst sad longing to be young again
When worn and weary with the cumbrous yoke
How true to life these pictures are, in smoke.
pray ye, gentle fairies, leave me now,
You've brought the Past to me with nem'rie
glad;
The pictures vanish, but the trace is left,
The BOY is happy while the MAN is sad.
A boy no more--a man Times ravens croak,
And youth has vanished with the fragran
smoke.
How Life is like this vapor Calm-eyed Hope
In fairy guise, paints it with pictures rare
But while we gaze and stretch out eager hands,
We start to fndthe pleasure is not there
We dip our life barque oars stroke by stroke,
And grow old--watching picture IN the smoke

Young man, how is it that you have
dared to carry on Irritation with my
daughter without my consent ?"
THAT is false, sir, utterly false" the
young man replied. "your. daughter came
to the house where We were at work, and
I saw her and loved her. I could not
keep my eyes from looking at her. sbe
returned my look, and interest, and asked
me questions Almost every day she has
been to the house, and her coming makes
it seem q heaven to me, sir. But knew
I was only poor mechanic, with moth
er on my hands, and that yen would not
consent to my Offering her any particular
attentions. So have kept away, Am
going off, sir. as soon as the job is done
for | cannot live here without seeing
aer, and I would not do anything
dishonorable, or that her father would
disapprove,'
The young man turned his face toward
the window to hide fewsstray tears
which came into his eyes. The father
looked steadi|ysiuto his secretaey, at if it
contained something of unusual interest.
After not unweIcome silence he turned
to the young man and said: ......
"You have acted hOnorahly in this
matter. You shall see my daughter all
yon please. | hear that you are worthy,
industrious young man, and prefer
such an one for son to any dissolutc
snob. | an sorry your education has
been so much neglected. But it is not
too late to remedy that matter. | will
pay your wages regularly to your mother
and send you to school for year or two
After you get good foundation laid, !
will take you into my business and il
you bear yourself in worthy manner,
one of these days my daughter shall be
your wife. You may quit work at
once"
Our readers can imagine the scene and
the joy that followed this speech OF q wise
and kind father far better than we can
lescribe them The young man has just
finished a years course at school, where
he has made wonderful progress
The father seems to be as proud Of him
as we'll he can be and he has found that
life in his new and elegant mansion on
the banks of the Hudson, with an accom-
|t'iished daughter who cannot express her
gratitude for his kindness, and the occa-
3ional visits of noble minded young
man who is working his way up in the
world, is only sweet fOretaste of elys-
ium. If other fathers would follow his
example there would be fewer elopements
,ud far less misery than at present, and
\ great many happy hearts and happier
aomes. ....

WANE OF THE YEAR.

rains that last for days together; upon
the hill the horn of the hunter is heard,
and in the mountain solitudes the eagles

Heavily hangs the hollyhock.
Heavily hangs the water lily. .e
The air is damp, and hushed and close,
As a sick mans room when he taketh repose
An hour before DEATH
My very heart faints and my whole soul grieves
At the rich moist smell of tie rottirg leaves,
And the breath
Of the fading edges Of box beneath,
And the years last rose.
Heavily hangs the broad sunfower
Over the grave i the earth SO chilly.
Heavily hangs the hollyhock,
Heavily hangs the tiger-lily.

all the changes Of the earth pass round,

THE SEA.

In watching the sea, the mind never
becomes weary each wave, as it curls its
silvery foam and dashes on the shore, has
somesnovelty in it. There is no monoto-
py in the motion of the waves, and the
mind speculates momentarily in each va
riety of motion and of form, finding in
all an inexhaustible fund of amusement,
excitement. pleasure and wonder. 1t is
no less true than remarkable, that the
ocean is the only substance which, in its
movement, has not wearying effect upon
the gazer. All other forms, animate or
inanimate, may amusO for moment, a
minute or an hour /; but their charm is
gone, there is a monotony in themselves,
they are unchangeably the same in their
gene, al form. Even the brook, ripping
along. has mOnotony which is not in
the motion of the sea. Perhaps the near
est approach to the pleasing variety shown
in the movement of the ocean, is the ever
varying display in the features of the hu-
man face one moment expressing the
calm of resignation or repose, the next
the varying ripple, as the ever changing
tboughts--like the uncertain winds, play
ing over the waves, display themselves
upon its surface---and, anon. the bolster
Gus storm Of anger, madness, or revenge

A GOOD WIFE.

Woman depends for her fame on the
voice of affection. Her virtues are exer-
cised at home, her talents are mainly
called forth and exerted in the domestic
sphere. Happy for her, when she finds
in her nearest and dearest friends those
who can appreciate her worth and who
are willing to render her merits due
praise. Juaa 11 sysd 9a br- .r
1t seldom happens that the eulogist of
female character is capable of doing JUS
tice to his subject. 70 describe good
womon is not to invest her with all good
qualities in a lump, as it we're and the
man must possess a high order of intel
lect, who can comprehend the lofty hopes,
the deep and holy affections which warm
and move the soul Of the good wife and
mother, who devotcs herself to the happi-
ness of her family. She lives in the con.
stapt exercise of the noblest faculties Of
our nature, directed to the welfare and
improvement of the circle, over which
she is the guiding star, aud dark is the
household from which such light is
withdrawn, Many a bereaved husband
has doubtless felt this. '''- '", .''

Boftomiess

Near the summit of a mountain in
Portugal, in the province of Beira, is
situated the Lake Eskra-the waters Of
which are of a dark greenish hue.
Although no fishes have ever been seen
ia this lake, yet frequently fragments Of
ships, such as broken masts, spars, etc.
have been found floating on it, though
inland, as is its position. This circum-
stance has very naturally led to the be-
lief hat it communicates with the ocean
by some subterraneous passage-a belief
which las been still further strengthened
from the fact that the face of the lake
becomes either rough or smooth as the
ocean is found TO be agitated or calm :
and also that, during stormy weather, in.
PRODUCES a rumbling noise, which may be
heard at a distance Of six or eight miles.
1t Is a notorious fact that, to the present
day, though frequently tried by the
curious, its bottom has not been Giseov-
cred. At a short distance from Rosinere,
in Switzerland, a remarkable spring is
known to arise from the center Of a nat
r basin Of more than thirteen square
feet in its arena. OF the power which
operates on it we may form ONE con
ception, when it is known to force, with
much violence, q column of water of
eighteen feet circular, far above its sur
face. Although tried by the most inge-
NOUS and perseVeriBg virtueses in natu-
raj philosophy, its depth has not yet been
ascertained thus leaving to conjecture
the only plausible conclusion that this
spring Is the outlet of some accommodating
subterraneous lake which has no other
for its Watershed York San.
