Not many days or hours have passed away,
Since aged gloom in all her grim array,
Beset thy brow; now with fond delight,
I see thee deck'd in beaming robes of light.

Dock'd years from iime—inade young thy heart,
In sporting gtces, in less than halfa week
Hits tak’n the furrows from thy aged cheek !”
“Fie.good husband! ifl tell you where I've been
And why I dress, you will not count it sin:
Did thy prophetic fancy let thee guess
As well as tell, my various modes ofdress.

Or where the store l fain would make my home :
You see tne drt:-sse’.-l as ne'er I dress’d before.

Go ihere—he’ll surely light it with a cheerful

That aged, soil‘d and holy coat.
That old cravat around thy throat,
That grey. that dull, and ugly vest,
That hangs so mesiily on thy breast,
Shall be exchanged to thy desire.
Then none will hate. but all admire
My husband?-thou wilt delight,
Nor rudely thus disgrace my sight.”

To make for rudeness, 'such happy, bright

AI’RlL.—.Bv LoNGF1:t.I.ow.
VVheu the warm sttn, that brings
Seed-time and harvest, has returned again,
’Tis sweet to visit the still wood, where springs
The first flower of’ the plain.
I love the season well,
VVhen forest glades are teeming with brief forms,
Nor dark and may-folded cloitds foretell
The coming in of storms.
From eartlfsloosened mould
The sapling draws its sustenance and thrives;
Though stricken to the heart with wi11ter’s cold,
The drooping tree revives.
The softly warbled song
Comes through the pleasant ivoods, and colored
wings
Are glancing in the golden sun, along
The forest openings.
And when bright sunset fills
The silver woods with light the green slope throws
Its shadows in the hollows ofthe hi_lls,
A_nd wide the upland glows.
And when the day is gone,
In the blue lake, the sky, o’er——reacliing far,
Is hollowed out, and the moon dips her horn,
And twinkles many a star.
Inverted in the title
Stand the grey rocks, and trembling shadows tl1_1_'o.w,
And the fair trees look over, side by side,
And see t.lietn_selves below.
Sweet April, many a thought
Is wedded into thee, as hearts are wed;
Nor shall they fail, ’till, to its autumn brought,
Life’s golden fruit is shed.
MISCELLANY.
THE WIFE OF THE SI-IOEMAKER.
I can always smell a shoemaker if there
be one in the room, said the proud and ‘lash-
ionable Elizn———--.-, whose wealthy parents
had brought her up in the foolish principle
thatlaber was degrading. Her ideas had
been cast in such a mould that when chance
threw a mechanic or a farmer in her way,
she entleavoretl by her acts, or her conversa-
tion, to convince him that she was his stipe-
rior. Indulged with all that wealth could
bestow, the haughty girl had no wish ungrat-
ifictl. A desire was simply expressed, and
her request was granted. Others attended
to her wants. so that she grew up wholly
un-acquainted with domestic affairs, and she
could not do common sewing. VVhen in
company, the proud girl took particular pains
to show her contempt for the worthy me-
chanic, by making some improper remarks,
or not deigning to cast upon hitn a single
gracious look. It was at a. public house
where a journeyman shoemaker happened
to be, present,» that Eliza made the retnark,
‘I can always smell a shoemaker.‘ The
words were ttddrcssetl to a young woman
who expected to become the wife of the very
mechanic, but shebeing more wise and less
fashionable, did not deign to reply, but trim-
ed the conversation to some more profitable
topic.
How unstable is property! The man
who to day rides in his carriage, the possess-
orof millions. to ut_at'rotv may be a bank-
rupt.
Events which the most prudent cannot
foresee, nor the closest calculators guard
against have unexpectedly dashed the loudest
hopes and sunk the largest property. It was
so in the case ofthe father of Eliza. lVhen
in the full tide of prosperity, adding riches
to riches, and never dreaming that life would
be any thing but sunshine, 3. dark cloud sud-
denly overspread his sky. His extensive
wealth was swept almost instantaneously
from his grasp, and he became a poor man,
His house, his carriage, his splendid lumi-
ture were taken from him, and the posessor
ofa fortune became a beggar. The geot-
geous palace was exchanged for a hovel,
servants were dismissed, and the delicate, the
proud Eliza was the daughter ofas poor a
father as the humblest mechanic of her ac-
quaintance. Poor girl it was an awful stroke
to her. She had lived as if riches had no
wings, but were as permanenfas her family’s
name. VVith her erroneous ideas, totally
unprepared for such a sad reverse of fortune.
it came with ten fold more poignancy.
The shoemaker married the girl of his
choice, the woman who considered it an
honor to be the daughter of a hard working
mechanic, and the wife ofa journeyman.-
He prospered, commenced business for him-
self, was steady, industrious and economical,
as amatter ofcourse. succeeded well and
lived comfortably and contcntedly. In a
few years he purchased a small but conven-
ient dwelling, and by the prudence of his
wife and his own industrious habits, became
an independent man, and lives as happy as
mortal could wish.
It was a bitter cold day in the depth of
winter, when a female, poor and destitute
called at the dwelling of th_e mechanic, beg-
ging for a little assistance. She was the
once haughty Eliza The benevo-
lent wife of the mechanic took pity on her,
and being in want ofhelp took her into the
family, Nothing hard was putupon her to
do. while she in tears expressed her grati-
tude for the kindness she received, and re-
gretted from her heart the folly of her early
days. If I had my life to live over again,
she often said, I would early accustom my-
self to labor, and do all ip my power to ele-
vate the mechanic. —
Eliza lived in thispleasant family for some
time, during which she becatne acquainted
with ajourneyman shoemaker in the employ
of her _ll‘_i(°nCl, and finally became his bride.
Having learnt a useful lesson by her misfor-
tune, Eliza made a prudent and industrious
wife and now lives comfortable and happy.
Whenever she hears a young and thought-
less giil speak in terms of _contempt of an
industrious tnechanic, or sees him shunned
on account of his freckled sun:br,otvned face
and callousecl hands she administers a gentle
reproof and relates her own experience.

Too LA't‘E;.
It is well, said the venerable man to his
wife, as they sat together late one evening
in July, l840, it is well that we discovered
the habits ofthe young man before he had
advanced further in our esteem; he might
else have invcigled our only daughter into
marriage, and brought disgrace upon V-US. 83
well as misery upon our child.
VVhich would have been misery to us too,
surely said the wife. ~
lttvoultl have been insupportable misery.
But thank God,’ continued he, raising his
eyes in heartfelt gratitude, I was informed
in season to prevent my child from the dis-
grace of a connection with a
VVith a what? said a good looking man,
bowing to the venerable pair, with a" what.
sit‘? speak out nowl I am your daughter’s
husband; and it seems too unlit that there
should be so little confidence between father
and son, as that the latter should know the
opinion of the former upon his pursuits,
when the former knows the relation in
which each stands to the other.
If it is too late to prevent the marriage,
said the father-—
It is too late.
Then, at least, though my rights as a
father may have ceased, those of a husband
and of a man are unimpaired; and if I can-
not rule those in my house, I can at least
say who shall be its inmates.
Father, said the bride, kneeling, with
elapsed bands, do not cast the from you;
give my—give him time"at least, to prove
that you have notdone him justice. Mother
dear mother!
The closing ofthe door at the other side
of the room, drew the attention of the sup-
plient, and she found that her husband was
tlie;.',‘only one left with her. It was too late.
Hand in hand the newly married pair
left what had been to the wife an Eden of
quiet happiness. The stem commands of
a father were there. at least to be obeyed;
and she was yet to learn that a serious act
of disobedience on her part, would ever be
forgiven by one who had seemed wrapped
up in her affections—whose life was appa-
rently entwined with her obedience.
She left that Eden then. Hand in hand
the banished pair took their tleparture; and
as the offending daughter and confiding wife
turned back to look at the closing door of
her paternal mansion, it seemed to her. in:
deed. as if some angel, severe in awful beau-
ty, guarded the portal against her entrace to
the place which she had desecratetl by filial
disobedience.
The pride ofthe new husband was just
too much for his situation. He was anxious
not only to maintain his wife independently
of her family, but to give her many of those
comforts to which she had beeiiaccustotnetl.
He could easily have attained the former,
and have metall her wishes in that respect;
but his pride induced him to neglect rational’
means of acquiring ordinary comforts. and
led him to resort to what be deemed chances
ofsudden wealth. He had before his mar,
riage suffered in the estitnation of many re-
spectable citizens, by his associating with
certain young men, who to their other social
qualities were supposed to add that of fond:
ness for games of hazard, He had amused
himself in that way without pecuniary
profits, and by careful observation, he had
learned the tricks of art without practicing
them upon others.
Time passed onward, and the young Wife
became a mother, and saw, in the birth of
her boy, a renewal of the attentions of her
husband, which, without: apparent lapse of
affections. certainly without other evidences
of unkindness, had been of late pretermitted.
He had absented himselffrom his home un-
til a late hour at night and had appeared
haggared and care tvorn. It was also ob-

ished, and the wife began’ to feel many. very
many of her comforts curtailed. The de-
scent was rapid, and with its the renewal of
absence of the husbantl_at~-‘ night; but no
open unkindness was exhibited. nor was
lllPl'€ reproach on her part, unless‘ the pale
cheek, and emaciated frame, and the heart
broken sigh could be so construed.
Misery. wretchedness, absolute tvant beset
the family, and the husband tore himself
away from the bed of his wife and child
early in the evening with a dcterntination to
bring home to them some means ofcoinfort.
He metan old friend, who informed him that
a place was vacant in an office, which, with
security for fidelity would be his.
And who will be that security?
Who 7 Any onc—l ivill. I told you so
two years ago.
“fill you now, indeed .7
Present yours-lfto me to morrow free of
debt, and I will insure you the place.
He was not free from debt, but a few
hundred dollars would make him so. He
felt assured that a few hours at the gaming
table, the last time he would ever darlten
the acctirscd doors, would supply him with
means to pty those debts-_~inore than that he
would not receive,
H_e hastened to the place, and paused at
the last step of the door. Why should I go
in .7 The few hundred dollars which I owe,
I can soon save; and he who, knowing my
povert_v, would be security to my fidelity,
would notthink worse of my character. ifl
confess my indebtedness, and my determina-
tion never to place myself within the chance
of such dangers again.
The resolution so excclltrnl, relieved his
heart, and he turned with new feelings to
adopt a course of virtue. It was then “too
late."
He saw near '"him, one of the officers of
the institution in which he was to have a
place of trust. To have turned frcm the
door would be to expose himself, and he
could not stand where he was. He entered
he played, and at midnight had won a few
dollars. His luck ha? turned, he said; he-
"-followed up the luck,” and daylight saw
him possessed of more than the desired sum.
He left the gambling room a titan of bet-
ter resolves than he had been though he
had always resolved well. He thought of
the pleasure in store, of the good he would
do, and the delights he could yet enjoy.
The outer door of the house in which he
livcd was open. lie stole quietly up the
stairs, and gently lifted the latch of his room
door. It was dark and still. The child at
length moved. He felt that his wife had
occasion to complain of his longabsence,
butthe joy of his heart tvas to make her
understand the resolution be had formed.
and the means he now possessed of carrying
it into effect. He called her by name-she
did not answer. He felt that his new intr-n
tion deserved more kindness. He called
again but in vain. ‘He then opened a new
window shutter, and the light of themorning
poured full upon the face of the infant. He
ivent to the bed to awa_ken his wife. He
laid his hand upon her arm, and its icy
chillness struck to his heart. He threw
himselfupon the bed, and groans-d in an-
guish. The crying of the child called
some of the tenants ofthe house to the room.
The Coroner’s aid was demanded over
the dead body of his wife. The verdict
ofthe jury, "Died ofthe visitation of God.”
But one or l.\V0 thought that distress bud
weakened hcr frame so much. that the anxi-
ety and cares, the new feeling of suspicion
‘or the sense of utter abandomemt that night,
had been too much. Her heart broke with
its overfrcight.
The pride of the injured father at length
yielded, and with quiet efforts, be traced out
the residence of his daughter.
Determined to meet her more than half
way towards reconciliation he came just as

The New York Observer publishes some in-
formation respecting the relative positions ofthe
established Church of England and the leading
denominations of dissenters as a body, which
possesses much interest; and as that respecta-

this information. we think our readers will not

Rev. Dr. Tyng. in his letters, remarks;
front my own observations I was therefore
necessarily drawn to the conclusion, that the
Esutblished _Church is every where in the
nscendant. in popular favor, while dissent jg
very much lost its hold upon the people of
England, and its prospect is very far from
the hope of prosperous ipnrepse. This cop-
tinued observation of facts around me led
me to many convergations and inquiries, the
result of which was always to confirm -the
accuracy of the conclusions which I have
draivp from what I say, The power of dis-.
sent scems to be comparatively "small, and is
certainly diminishing, and the general pop."
ularity and ipfluence of the Established
Church is probably greater than it ever was
and is continually increasing. Ten year;
ago the popular feeling was strongly ex-
cited against the Establishment, if we may
judge from the publications of that day, and
its overthrow and d:3:rtv.-tion were boldly
demanded. The possible continued existence
of the Church was denied, and its early
passing away anticipated by its enemies,.._
But that tide of hostility has passed its flood,
and isebbipg as rapidly as it rose. Every
week is bringing out the resources of ;,_h‘p
Church more fully and remarkably; and
the potver of dissent seems to be more that'-
oughly broken, than moderate dissenters
could then have dvsired that the influence of
he Church should be.‘
