’ , THE ANGEL'S SEARCH.
~ _ BY mis. JANE L. swim‘.
I cannot find the thing I seek g
Througlt earth, or air, or sky,
.’Twill still elttde my eager grasp,
"l_‘will still my search defy,
. In every ft'cque'i1teil olime.
In every well known spot.
I've sought in vain the prize to find—- *7‘
One thing that changes not.
They told tne earth was beautiful :
A "garden full of flowers,
Of scented shrubs, and pleasant plants,
" Ofvittes and myrtle bowers.
‘I thought so,‘till I saw the bloom
Upon the roses" fade,
And ntarked the dry and withered leave:
That strew-ad the wintry glade.
They told mo that the sunshine slept
Upon earth’s verdant liills,
And sparkled in tlielimpid course
Of rippling mnttutain r-ills,
I knetv not that the glowing ray
Must pale as night came on.
And darkness shroud each fav'rite spot
The suit had shone upon.
They spoke of towers. and palaces,
Of dome and gilded fane;
I marked the ruins time had made,
And felt my search was vain.
In vain I‘ve winged my rapid fljg-ht
To carth’s remotest spot,
In vain I've sought my prize to Find--.-:
One thing that changes not.
They told me that the mind pfman
YVas noble in its aim, H
Endowed with gifs which angels share.
‘With powers which gods might claim ;
Iiitinortiil in its destitty;
It could ttot know dcca_v—-
A spark ft-om Heaven can ne'er go out,
However faint its ray._
Elitte with hope. I hovered near,
At last my prize to find:
But ah ! the mind of changing man
Is fielder than the wind:
For prejudice and wrong have warped
Those minds I've drired to scan ;
And gilded baubles change of mar
This better part of‘ man.
They told me the human heart
Knew strong and chaitgeless ties:
That. nought but death could break the linl_t_s
0f'kinilre.rl svtnpatlties.
I marked the glow that t-.arlhl_v love
O’cr every scene cottld fling;
E‘en to an angel's eye it seemed
A pti.t't3 and holy tbinrr.
Yet tiine. would quench-—estrangement chill
The current in its flowf;
Nattszlzt bttt a mother's love could hide
Through this wot-ld’s weal or woe.
I saw it Clltl!1 tn worthle-is ones,
Her love herself forgot; ~
It was a l m o s t the prize I sough—-
One thing that changes not.
The-v said that hope would cheer the soul
\Vitb an tindyinz ray:
But [have seeii its light illttinc—
Gt-m.v.pnle and fade away.
Olt ! earth has not one boon to give, ‘~
VVithin its widest range.
That feels not time's decayittg touch,
That knows not blight orchange.
I'll spread my wings. and speed my flight
Back to my starry home.
\Vliere kindred spirits chant their songs
To greet me as I come.
Farewell. ob earth. itt yonder sphere
Is cast my happier lot,
There ye may seek it beiter world-—.
A world that changes not,

But never tell my step motlter
Of all this bitter weeping.
No earthly sleep can case my smart.

For there‘.-t ti p2t",<_v at my young heart
That never more can leave it !
Oh, let nit‘. lie. and weep my fill
(Nor \l\-Ttlltrtls that hotel can mv-r:
And oh. kind Heaven l were it thy will.

For how can mriid's affections dear

Or how can heart of _m:tidi-n bear
'l‘o know that heart fbrsakeo '.'
Oh. why should vows so fondly made.
Be broken ere the trttirrrm‘-—
To one wlm loved as never nistitfl
Loved irt this world of sorrow !
The look of scorn l c nnot brave.

And tire dear home beyond them.

it was deemed expedient by M r. Vermont
to retire with his family from the fashionable
strert and mansion in which they then resi-
ded. Every vestige of former splendor was
now gone gg it was tvith it feeling of reliefthat
the husband and wife sat down together to
lay plans for the future, They. determined
to, and eventually did take lodgings in a re-
spectable boarding house, where there was a
single transient boarder besides themselves.
This gentleman they learned was from Al-
batty, and would remain but a week or ten
days at most, having merely come totlie city
to pnrchgtse some articles, of merchandise
which were not to be obtained at Albany.
The dinner bell rang, and the little group
assembled in the diminutive dining room:
the new comers were introduced collectively
to Mr. Albeit Orville, who at once recog-
nized Lelia. Dinner passed in a very
agreeable manner: Mr, Vermont having
just retired from mercantile life, could speak
of the turmoil attendant thereon of the losses
the’ failures and fluctuations of the inarkrt.
of the restless anxiety. of the perturbed state
of mind incident to such a life; to all ofit
Mr. Orville was a perfect stranger; consc-
qucntly to him it was an interesting subject,
inasmuch as he was preparing to embark in
a mercantile career.
To Lelia 'twas a luxury to gaze upon
this self made nobleman of nature rather
than to feast upon the choicest viands before
-her. His slight but elegant frame, evidently
beaming with tile beauty of an ardent soul,
a forehead singularly fair and high, a well
formed head, a calm and graceful address;
all, all were objects of admiration to the
wondering _I._eli'a.
The limits we have allotted to this narra-
tive will not admit ofa minute detail of cir-
cumstances; let it sttffice to know that Mr.
Qt‘vill's stay was protracted some four or
five weeks beyond the time appointed for
ltis departure in consequence of growing
attachment between himself and Lelia.-
Duty, however, called him to dash away for
atiine the /cup of happiness he longed to
drain to the bottom. T
Six months after this period Mr. Orville
returned to replenish his store; but more
especially to stiggest the following proposi-
tion to Mr. Vermont 2

The Crime of Serluctz'on.—-Tlic recent
horrible tragedies in different quarters grow-
mg out of cases ofseductiou, have awakened
public attention to the subject, and wefbelieve
public sentiment would now sustain and
approve latis to punish seduction as a crime
against the peace and happiness oftbc com.
munity, the same as robbery, theft and for-
gery are punished. It is a monstrous ano:
rnaly and wrongthat sends the perjurer in a
case involving a few dollars, to the State
Prison, while the more base seducer, who
by fiendish macbinzittons and the blackest
falsehood has effectccl the ruin of some guile-
less. confirling creature, and plunged a
whole family in anguish and, disgrace. is
allowed to go wholly “unwliipt of justice."
Every ope who justifies or in any degree
_ . _ ,palli..tes the act of him who slays a seducer
spirit worn, a pale intellectual face, eyes‘
like young Mercer, by so doing accuses and
condemns the law for affixirig a penelty to
seduction.
We regret to percievc that the Judiciary
Committee of our Assembly, through its
Solon of a chairman. has asked to be dis-
charged from the consideration of this sub-
ject. and have sent it to a Select Committee.
This is shuffiing. lfthose who believe a
law to punish seduction ought to be passed
would only act zealously and firmlv, its
passage would soon be secured.--—N. ¥_'T-r_i1;,
