Why, after all our close joined hopes are riven
Our plans, long cherished, failed beyond recover

My soul still seeks the sunshine of your kindnessi
Why all to me seems ovelier and better

As sentient iron. filed with force magnetic
Gently inclines unhindered and unbidden
And trembling, yet true, unerringly prophetic
Shows where the lies meath the rubbish hidden:

Shows far within the cavern family cleaning
Gold that for years has been in darkness hiding;
SO woman true, filled with divine affection,
Drawn by force unfelt by any other
Inenes her constant soul in the direction
OF worth, concealed in some unnoticed brother.
So womans love- where faith has left portal,
Noiseless, intense, unwavering and unceasing,
Lights up and makes some hope to shine immortal
Where long the gloom Of doubt had been increasing.
All this and more your life to mine has given
Nay, tell me not that must forget you!
BY looking up to you l first saw heaven
Earth was a desert drear until met YOU
Our mingled tears. with fructifying power,
Fell on the sands and from them now forever
Grows friendships fair and ever lovely flower;
I'll cherish it for aye, but pluck it never.

The John Brown Homestead.

Waterbury Comm American.
very interesting letterby the late John Brown
enables US to call attention TO another matter
long on our mind-the restoration and preserya-
ton of the Brown homestead in the town of Tor
rington, or rather the house in which the
great anti-slavery agitator and Harpers Ferry
martyr was born. 1t is fitting that the people
of Connecticut, certainly in their private ca
pacity, honor the memory of the man to whom
history has already accorded niche by the side
of those occupied by the worlds greatest phi
lanthropists, heroes and martyrs. The oppor
tunity is presented in this house in Torrington,
which should be purchased and set apart as
precious memorial. If no better plan is offered,
we would suggest that the newspapers of the
State constitute themselves committee to re-
ceive such contributions may he deemed
necessary to carry the idea into effect.

''She is dead!' they said to him. Come away;
Kiss her and leave her-thy love is clay.
They smoothed her tresses of dark brown hair
On her forehead of stone they laid it fair.
Over her eyes that gazed too much
They drew the lids with gentle touch.
With tender touch they closed up well
The sweet, thin lips that had secrets to tell;
About her brow and beautiful face
They tied her veil and marriage lace;
And drew on her white feet the white silk shoes
Which were the whitest, no eyes could choose!
And over her bosom they crossed her hands
Come away, they said, God understands"
And there silence, and nothing there
But silence, and scents of eglantere;
And jasmine, and roses, and rosemary;
And they said: las lady should lie, lies she."
And they held their breaths as they left the room,
With shudder, to glance at its stiffness and gloom.
But he who loved her too well to dread
The sweet, the stately and beautiful dead,
He lit his lamp and took his key
He turned it. Alone again-he and she.
He and she; but she would not speak,
Though he kissed in the old place the quiet cheek.
He and she; yet she would not smile,
Though he called her the she loved erst.while
He and she; still she did not move
To any passionate whisper of love.
Then he said 'Cold lips and breast without breath
is there no voice, no language of deathl
Dumb to the and still to the sense
But to heart and soul distinct, intense?
"See now; will listen with soul, not ear
What was the secret of dying, dear!
Twas it the infinite wonder of all
That you could let lifes flower falla
'Or was it greater marvel to feel
The perfect calm o er the agony steall
WAS the miracle greater to find how deep,
Beyond all Dreams sank downward that sleep
''Did life roll back its record, dear!
And show as they say it does, past things clear9
"And was it the innermost heart or the bliss
To find out what a wisdom true love isl
'Oh perfect dead! Oh, dead most dear!
hold the breath of my soul to hear!
Il listen as deep as the horrible hell
AS high as the heaven, and you do not tell

II would tell you darling if / were dead
And 'twere your hot tears my brow she'd
81 would say, though the angel of death had laid
His sword on my lips to keep it unsaid.
You should not ask vainly, with streaming eyes.
Which OF all death was the chiefest surprise;
''The very strangest and suddenest thing
OF all surprises dying must bring.
''Ah, foolish world, Oh most unkind dead!
Though she told me, who will believe it was saidl

And see you, and love you, and kiss you dear:

heard the quivering snatches Of song
Struggling adown the foliage wet with dew,
And as the budding music burst and blew
Into bower of melody along
The murky corridors there woke among
The galleries wild applause that grew
Until the fattered milstre forth withdrew
With utterng heart to have pleased great throng
All the long night he sang above his nest,
Praise to himself but when before his eyes
Just at the peep o. light in the high skies
Fluting to the cold stars, scared glad lark,
He wept until his tears drowned the last spark
Ambition kndled in his purple breast.
I proud man walking the proud ways
Fame paved for him. He wrote tender lay
saw his eyes agleam, and marked the way
His trembling hand with artistic grace
Added the last touch to the raptured face.
He poured his soul out, as poet may,
Painting each feature in bright array
OF words, the which his brain seemed all ablaze.
He viewed his masterpiece with joy complete
And infinite was his soul of love;
But turning to the purer blue above,
And gazing DER the drowsy fields of wheat,
Tears filed his eyes and closed was his lip
Upon curse for his poor scholarship!
Poor poets! thought me, thine is great skin
To mount the pinnacle of fame. and stand
To look with sorrowing eyes over the land
Of art, and find, bending above it still
Gods countenance, whose smile does naught but fill
Ye with empty madness! Whose dear hand
Upon thy temple pressed hath command
Over thy spirit, and ami bilious will
Unruly children sure all must bel
Each with his bosomed soul of vain desire,
That burns until the unquenchable fire
Scorches loves face, and when our lives done
We all go praying to our God that He
Hath yet pardon for each Absalom!

The Princely Colonnas.

Lucy Hooper7s Letter.
Respecting the Colonra family it must be con-
fessed that they amply fulfil ones ideas as to what
European nobility should look like. One meets
with so many fat duchesses that look like house
keepers, so many counts that resemble BARRIERS,
such coarse-looking earls and commonplace
looking princes that one is apt to part with all
ones illusions on the subject. But the two
Roman features, silver locks. and spare, erect,
well-proportioned figures, and the tall graceful,
elegant-looking lady who accompanied them,
looked, every inch of thcm, as the representa-
tives of one of the oldest and noblest families Of
Europe ought to look. certain elegance of
figure and grace of bearing seem TO be amongst
the attributes of the Colonna family, Prince
Ferdinand possessing them to a marked degree.

FELL OvERROARD.
Marrow Escape of Young Lad From a
Wafery Grave.


Mr. II. @. Mason has charge of the electric
lights after midnight, and it is part of his
work to go around on the wharves and streets
and replace the carbons. This morning be-
tween u aud / o'clock, as he was walking
down franklin " gharf to attend to the lights
at the foot of the wharf, he heard faint cry.
He stopped and listened: then, thinking tie
noise was caused by two vessels grazing to-
gether, started on again. Then the cry wss
once more heard, and he distinctly heard q
call for help
Dropping his ladder, Mr. Mason ran along to
the west side of the wharf and looking over
the side in the dim light, discovered boy
submerged to his shoulders In the water and
clinging to q spile for life.
Capt Sterling, night watchman of the
Emita, also the watchman of the Portland
Steam Packet Company, were quickly sum-
moned by Mr.. Mason; and they held the lat
ter's ladder while he went down on it to the
water, then grabbed the boy and brought him
to shore.
The boy, who, by the way, is a bright, active
lad, was taken to ths Steamboat Company g
Office, and after having warmed himself and
dried his clothes, he told his story. He said
he arrived in the city yesterday with his
parents from the Eastward on the schooner
Horizon. He had been up town and was on
his way back to the schooner, which was lying
at franklin Wharf. In walking along the
plank to the deck he slipped and fell over
board. He said his cries for help failed to
raise anybody on the vessel, and he had been
In the water about ten minutes. When dis
covered, the boy was nearly chilled through,
and would not have held out much longer.
MI. Mason and the watchmen could not
rouse any one on the schooner, SO Capt. Ster-
ling took the lad to his room ON the Emita.
