PATH TO THE GRAVEo
_ The beautiful have passed this way-

. But lo !..'t is failing from the sight;
, i It gives no glory hack.
. A mournfiilness is resting here-—
. Oh death I thy way is full of feai l
' Theipoiverful have departed hence,
' The mighty and the brave;
‘ And the deep echo of their faine—-
' ' [Ins perished in the grave.
Oh"lanie! I tremble at thy breath.
Thou art such pleasant food for death 9.
The young, the gay, the joyous one,
Has left a song behind ;
But all its line and touching tone
, Must perish from the mind.
, Oliyouth! oh beauty! power and fame!
, VVliat are ya but a_ gilded name?
' But still there are an humble few,
- Ilow blessed is their lot—-
‘ They passtliis dark and lonely way.
. :Ilut shall not be forgot ;
‘or Io! all glowing from afar-'-
Behold their bright and morning star.
‘ Be joyful, oh ya rainsomed souls,-—
Your help is from the sky ;
" And iieraphs guide your fearful path
To your bright homes on high.
_Oh death. thou art the gate of heaven,
'I'o those who feel their sins forgiven.
‘Dear Saviour, in l.IIe‘l0Wl)' grave
Thv sacred body lay ;
O theh, and shall thy followers shrink—
- Since thou hast passed that way I
The grave—how blessed is the night.
Which comes before immortal light !

TI-IE ORPHAN GIRL.
I have no mother !—-for she died
, ‘whet! [was very young I»
" But her memory still, ‘around my heart,
Like morning mists has hung.
, They tell me of an angel form
' That watched me while I slept,
And of a soft and gentle liaml
That wiped the tears I wept:
And that same hand that held my own
When I began to walk,
And the jo that sparkled in her eyes
When rst I tried to talk-
Por they say the mother's heart is pleased
When infant charms cxpaud—-
] wonder if she thinks of me
In that bright, happy land:
‘For I know she is in heaven now-
That holy place of rest-
For she was always good to me,
And tliegood alone are blcst.
I remember, too, when I was ill,
She kissed my burning brow:
And the tear that fell upon my cheek—-
I think I feel it now.
And I have still some little books
She learned me how to spell ; _
And the chiding. or the kiss she gave.
I still remember well.
‘And then she used to kneel with me,
And teach me how to pray.
And raise my little hands to heaven,
And tell me what to say.
0 mother! mother ! in my heart
Thy image still shall be,
And I will hope iiyjieayen atlast
That I may meet with the.

_ LOVI-PS RECOMPENCE.
It was, then, in that beautiful Vale of
Vire, some twenty years agoite, that F ran-
cois Lormicr went out to take his last
May walk with Mariette Duvzil, ere the
relentless conscription called him from his
happy home, his sweet valleys and his
early love. It was a sad walk. as may
well be imagined; for though the morn-
ing_ was bright, and nature, to her shame
be it spoken,’had put on her gayest smiles
tie if to mock their sorrow; yet the sun-
shine of the scene could not find way to
their hearts—-and all seemed darkened
and clouded around them. They talked
it great deal, and they talked a long time;
but far.be it from me to betray their pri-
vatc conversation. I would not for all
the world-'-«specially as I know not one
word about it—-except, indeed that Fran-
cois, Lormier vowed that the image of
Mariette should remain with him forever;
shouldiinspirc him in the battle, and cheer
himgin the bivouac; and that Maricttc
pro'to'.stedthaf she would never marry any
body; except Francois Lomicr, even if rich
old Monsieur, Latousefort, the great Fou-
rlan, were to lay himself and fortune at
--herilfcetr; and, in short, that when his
-sovetiyears were out,Francois would find
lierfstill a spinster, and very much at his

the inipartielity of his recompense.-
Francois was rewarded as well as he could
be rewarded; but at length in one of those
unfortunate battles by which Napoleon
strove in vain to retrieve his fortune, the
young soldier in the midst of his gallant
daring was desperately wounded in the
arm. Pass we ever the rest--Mutilated,
sick, weary, and rugged, Francois ap-

THE COUNTRY BACHELOR.
Bill Siinpkiiis was a clever sort of a
fellow, liviugin one of our country towns,
with money enough, sense enough, and
just education enough to be a pretty res-
pectablc sort of a man. Bill wasi1’t
tnucli of ii. dandy, though he did. have
money, He was a great gauky-looking
man wig; ,, puritaiiface, which some
of the girls by way of a ]9l\ei called 8
hatchet face. He wore cow iiid.':'i.IL‘f‘t5i
a home-spun coat, and a streaked hand-
kerchief,th:it was tied with such a knot
as none but Bill Simpkins could tic.---
Bill always had a tariial longing, to use
his own language,!after the gals. He
never veiitered to be very intimate with
any one out of his own family, since he
was two feet high, yet there was not a
girl in the neighborhood whom Bill had
not edged round, ‘lfiistuck up to.” Bill
diiid’t do his courting by making his vis-
its on it Sunday night and by sitting
down in the kitchen, talking nonsense,
and pulling fingers, or casting slieeps'
eyes ; but when he saw a girl whom he
took ll shine to, be dressed up in his best
bib and tucker ; tied his cravat in his
best knot; greased his boots ; run the
pipe stem through the locks of his hair
about his cars, so as to curl them up like
a cigar; and then strutted off to the dear
one’s house. Bill never had the cour-
age to eiitera house, though he had sworn
to do it for a thousand times---Often, to
be sure he would get up under the win-
dows and peep in to see what Polly or
Kate was about; and he has even taken
his jack knife outto knock on to the door,
so as to hear the “come in” of Squire
Topknot, but he never but once had the
courage to knock and then his heart fail-
ed him and he ran off full tilt, as soon as
they bade him come in. All this while
there was not a girl in the neighborhood
who had not made quiltings, and got up
scrapes on purpose to get Bill Siinpkins
there. Squire 'I‘opknot's daughter,
Ka.‘e,had got lialfa dozen quilts all made
up, on purpose for him, I was going to
say. Pol Iciies had quilting after quil-
ting, and she always had her eyes pretty
sharp on Bill -wlieiievcrhe came with the
rest of the “ fellows.” Tlic fact is that
Bill Simpkiiis had two or three good
farms left him by his father ; and tie .‘:_ad
a house, too, all fitted up; and therefore
he was a slick prize to any of the gals
that could catch him. Bill was no fool
of a bean neither, when he was in com-
pany. All the gals owned he was the
cutest follow for ascrape, jest git him set
out, that ever danced in doulile sliufllc, or
played hunt the thimble. The ruinatioii
of Bill was his baslifulliiess or sheepisli-
ticss, as the gals called it. Put him a-
lone, and lie could’nt say his soul was
his own. I have known him to go home
many a time with Sukcy Dyer, and for
it mile and a half on’ a stretch, all he
could find to say was “'tis pliiguy bad
going,” or “ ’tis quite slosliy,” or some-
thing of that sort. Onecold nigh I bc-
olicvc _lic,_did get hold of Suky’s hand, but
friglitencd’ him sotliat -he bluslicd buck
toiliis ,ears, a‘nd.felt'vcry much l_ike afoul.‘
"""Bill was now getting to be in higggu,
year: and began to feel. quite serious,
“Tlicre," said he to himself oi-ic'duy_
“tliere': was Kate Topknot, I might have
had her, and she .was~ii whale of “ii gal.
I reinenilier we-ll'wli‘c’i'i sli‘e‘tu'rncd‘ii'p her
plaguy black eyes to me, when the mooti
shined right in our faces, and said (oh
how I felt.) “Mr. Siinpkins, this is the
very time for falling in love. Tis hard
to keep oiie's heart from going pit-a-pat.”
VVhat a fool I was I did’nt pop the ques-
tion thcri. I know she wanted me to.
I only said ‘yes ’t.‘s, Miss 'I‘opknot;’ and
looking as killing us I could and squeezed
up her arm it little. Oh you fool, Bill
Simpkiiis, why (lid’nt you tell her she
was the gal you liked, and not go like tl
great: booby, and kiss the coat where her
arm touched. But slic’s gone now ;—
she was mm‘,-ic¢1t.lirccyears coining next,"
Cliristmas night.
“There Was” (Bill coiitinued his so-
liloqtiy) “Pol Jones; I liked Poi“; she
was a master piece for fun, and _wlieii
she was on her high heels, iiobodygcoiiltl
come up to her. Pol always used IOVBOIDG
a good ways to kiss me, wliciic er, we
played Pawns : and I always tliought she‘
liked the fun as well as the rest "of us.
Butlslie is married too, and she dont like
her husband a bit they say. I wish
her name was Simpkins this very mo-
ment. How it would sound, Mrs. Simp-

Things were going on pretty much in
when a handsome looking ll’Illll G‘

a week or so to enjoy the country air.
Miss Henrietta Angusthia Adeline Jeffer-
soii Balinbroke for that was her name,
end heard about the rich Squire (he had
got to be a Squire four years ago)
had no sort of objection to catching liiin
if she could, for ten tliousaiid dollzfrs
were no small sum in her estimation.

.5 Niiw-roux NEGRO AND A I(EN'l‘UCl{IAN.
Not long since, ii gentleman from Ken-
tacky was standing at the door of one of’
our hotels whence he was about starting
fur the src;§;;iboat. \Visliiiig for sonic
one to carry his baggagc, and seeing 8
spruce looking negro passing along the
street, he called out to liini-—‘Hci'e, you
nig, take my trunk and carry it down to
the steamboat.’
The negro stopped, and raising his
quizzing glass to his eye, stared at the
Kentuckian with a mixture of indignation
{and astonisliinent. Ilaviiig scanned him
sufliciently with his glass, he gave his hat
on independent twist to one side, pulled
up._liis'disky about his ears, drew himself
‘:.ip;'~t_o his fullest hcight,and thus replied,"
‘Did you ‘dress that language to me,sii' ’!’
‘Yes, you black rascal ; I want you‘ to
akc my trunk to the boat.’
‘Indeed l I guess you come from the
slave lioldin states, did’iit you, if I may
take the liberty to ax '2’
‘Ay, you blaglfrlog---aiid what if I did?
You take too ifiucli liberty,I can tell you.’
‘\Vliy, I was sure you must have come
from the slave states, otherwise you
w'oiild’nt treat a gentleman in this super-
silly manner, just because his skin is’nt
of the same color as your own.’
‘Shut up your thick lips, or I'll stick
my fist down your throat.‘
‘VVc do'iit have gag laws in this state.’
‘\Vell, you ought to have, to stop the
mouths of such saucy black rascals as
you are. I wish 1 had you in Kentucky
once.’
‘I sposc you’d gouge me then. But,
thank heaven, I’m not in Kentucky, and
not a slave, neither. And what’s more,
I‘ undertake to tell you Mr. impotence,
that th::“:’:: no gou'g:'?*g, no gagging if
this free state, and one man is as muc..
inspected as anotlicr,if he behaves as well,
although he is a black man, or a Nig as
you call him. Behaviour makes the man,
sir. For my part, I should be ashamed
to show my face among other gentlemen,
If I ‘dressed a man in the supersilly man-
ner you did me.’
Having finished his speech, the dark
colored beau again raised his quizzing
glass to his eye, and giving his antago-
nist a look of ineffalile disdain, walked
on ; while the Kcntiickiaii almost doubt-
ing his senses, wondered what sort_ of
mpubncm, pgmcipte that could be which
gives a black man as €tlllCl1 liberty. as a
white one. N. Y. C0728l(.'ll(ltI-071.

The following extract from the Diary

early friend to the rights of the blacks.
It seems, however, that he was as little

There are persons in every community who
are itidustriously employed in exciting preju-
dices against religious men. If a candidate
for office, is really and sincerely pious, he is an
object ofdistriist and hatred; but if to his
godliness is added eminence in the Church,
an elevation to some ecclesiastical ollice, he is
held up to public derision, and no effect is o-
mitted to enlist the worst passions of the hu-
man breast in opposition to him. VVe feel the
most thorough and unrningled contempt and
detestation for cant, fanaticism, and that in-
tolerant, exclusive, clannisli spirit, which

ofchurity and every kindly affection; bnttlie
