POETRY.
- T II E L O S S.
When on my -ear your loss was knelled.
And tender sympatliy upburst.
A little rill from memory swelled, _
VVhich once had soothed my bitter thirst.
And I would fain to bear to you
Some portions of its mild relief,
That it might be as healing dew;
To steal some fever from your grief.
After our child’s untroubled breath
Up to the Father took its way,
And on our home the shade of death,
Like a long twilight. haunting lay.
And friends came round with us to weep
Her little spirit’s s\vift remove,
This story of the Alpine sheep
VVas told to us by one we love.
“ They in the valley's slielteiing can,
soon crop the meadow’s tender prime,
And when the sod grows brown and bare.
The shepherd strives to make them climb.
“ To airy shelves of pasture green,
That ha nits along the mountain’s side,
VVhere flowers and grass together lean.
And down llll oug hmist the sunbeams slide.
, " But noiiglit can tempt the timid things,
That steep and rugged path to try.
Though sweet the shepherd calls and sings,
And seared below the pastures lie,——
“ Till in his arms their lambs he takes,
Along the. dizzy \'(’!l‘_L{H to go,
Then heedless of the rifts and breaks,
They fallow on o’er rock and snow.
“ A ud those pastures lifted fair,
More downy soft than lowland mead,
The Shepherd drops his tender care.
And sheep and lambs together feed."
This parable, by nature hreatlied,
Blew on me as the South wind free,
O’er frozen brooks that float unsheathed
From icy tliraldom to the sea.
A blissful vision through the night
\Vonld all my happy senses sway,
Of the good Shepherd on the height,
01' climbing up the stony way.
Holding our little lamb asleep;
And, like the burthen of the sea,
Sounded that voice along the deep,
Saying, “ Arise a7ul_'/allow me.”
MISGELLANY.
A LBARG-AIN.
A celebrated essence pcdlar, who had per-
ambulated the streets of'Newbni‘yport near-
ly the whole of along summer’s day, with
out selling 21 single vial of his wares, called
upon a hatter in the market place, and told
him that he should like a good hat, provided
that he could pay for it in essences. Trade
had been rather dull with the batter also,
that, day so he was not backward for an
“ operation,” and in a short time a bargain
was struck up for a “ tile,” the price which
was fixed at five dollars, to be paid in essen-
ces.
“ There, by thunder,” exclaimed the man
of extracts, “ I've made one trade to-day,
any how.”
“ lt’s the first bargain I’ve closed to-day,”
returned the hatter.
“ Now,” continued the pedlarman,“I
don’t want this hat, it’s too nice for my
business, exposed as I am to all weathers-
sun, dust and rain; what will you give me
for it in cash .7”
“] sell, but do not buy hats,” returned
the man of top-pieces.
“ You shall have it cheap,”said the ped-
lai"; “ I’ll sell it to you for three dollars.”
“No you will not,” replied the batter.
“ Well,” continued the vendor of tinctures,
“ What will you give for’t E”
“ I tell you I sell, and do not buy, at any
rate,” returned the trader.
“ But,” continued the indefatigable dis-
penser of pep'erniint and lavender, “ it cer-
tainly must be worth some thing to you ; it
must have cost you something for stock and
labor; and please make me an offer, and
l’ll not ask you farther.-
The hatter vrearied with his customer,
took out a dollar‘ and a half, threw it upon
the counter, and said, if you want that for
the hat take it and be off, for it is all you’ll
get from me.” ,
The essence man took up the money, put
it into his pocket, and started for the street.
Just as-he was closing the door he said to
the batter. “ Well old cockaloreni, I've
made seventy-five cents out of you any
how.”
A Fox Story.
Any body who has heard Rory O’More’s
famous story of the fox, in Lover’s amusing
play of that name, will confess that it is not
quite equal to'the following, which we get
from the St. Johnsbury Caleclonian, a Ver-
mont paper:
“Last week, in the town of Newbury, :1
fox—hunter, with two hounds, got upon the
track of a. poor fox, which was pursued un-
til the close of day. Fox found that things
were drawing to a desperate crisis with him
——and, just at this time, the whistle of the
railroad trainwas heard, when he struck off
in the direction, and approached the track as
the train came up, and leaped over it imme-
diately preceding the engine, and the two
hounds close in pursuit. Each hound was
caught by the wheels of the engine-—the
foremost lost about a foot of his tail, and the
one in the rear was cut off‘ just behind his
hips—and off went the fox, “alone in his
glory.” However improbable this may ap-
pear, we are assured by a director of the
road that it is a fact.”
. [7 A short man became attached to a
very tall woman, and somebody said that he
‘had fallen.in.love with her. “Do you call
that falling in love 1? ” said an old bachelor ;
, it is !¥t9_r¢ like vlinibing up to it.”

The Old Surtout—A Rebuke.
I had taken a place on the top of one of
the coaches which run between Edinburgh
and Glasgow, for the purpose of commenc-
ing a short tour in the highlands of Scotland.
As we rattled along, I had leisure to survey
my fellow passengers. Immediately oppo-
site to me sat two dandeis of the‘ first order,
dressed in white overcoats, and Belcher
handkerchiefs, and each with a cigar in his
month, which they puffed away with mar-
vellous csmplacency; beside me set a come-
ly young woman in a widow’s dress, with
an infant in her arms. The appearance of
the youthful mourner and her babe,indicatcd
that they belonged to the lower class of soci-
ety ; and although the‘ dandies occasionally
cast a rude glance at the mother, the look of
calm sorrow which she invariably cast upon
her child, seemed to touch even them, and to
disarm their coarseness. On the other side
of the widow sat a young gentleman of plain,
yet prepossessing exterior, who_seemed es-
pecially to attract the notice of the dandies.
His surtout was not exactly threadbre, but it
had evidently endured more than one season,
and I could perceive many contemptuous
glances thrown upon it by the gentlemen in
the Belcher handkerchiefs. The gentleman
carried a small pormianteau in his hand, so
small indeed, that it could not possibly have
contained one changehflinen. This article
also appeared to arrest the attention of the
sprigs of fashion opposite, whose wardrobes
in all p1'0l)abllll_V,\VCl'e more voluminous;
whether paid for or not.
The coach having stopped at the next vil-
lage for the purpose of taking up an inside
passenger, the guard observing that the gen-
tleman carried his portmanteau in his hand,
asked leave to put it in the boot, to which he
assented.
“Put it fairly into the centre, guard,” said
one of the dandies.
“lVhy so, Tom '2” inquired his companion.
“It may capsize the coach,” rejoined the
first; a sally at which both indulged in a
burst of laughter, but of which the owner of
the portmanteau, though the blood mounted
slightly to his cheek, took no apparent no-
tice. « .
While we were changing horses at the
little town of Uphall, an aged begger ap-
proached and held out his hat for aims.
The dandies looked at him With scorn. I
gave him a few half pence, and the young
widow, poor as she seemed, was about to do
the same, when the young gentleman in the
surtout, laid his hand gently on her arm and
dropped a half crown into the beggar’s hat
and made a sign for him to depart.
“Show off,” said one of the dandics, as
they cxclianged glances. “Successful at our
last benefit,” and" a chuckle followed from
the pair.
At this allusion to his supposed profession,
the blood again mounted to the young gen-
tleman’s check, but it was only for a mo-
ment and he continued silent.
\Ve had not left Uphall many miles be-
hind us, when the wind began to 4 rise, and
the gathering clouds indicated an approach-
ing shower. The dandies began to prepare
their umbrellas, and the young gentleman in
the sourtout, surveying the dress of the wid-
ow, perceiving that she was but indifferent-
ly provided against a change of weather,
inquired of the guard if the coach was full
inside '2 Being answered in the affirmative,
he addressed the mourner in a tone of sym-
pathy ; told her there was every appearance
of a smart shower ; expressed his regret that
she could not be taken into the coach ; and
concluded by offering her the use of his
cloak. ’
“It will, at all events protect the babe.”
The widow thanked him in a modest and
respectful manner, and said, that for the sake
of the infant she should be glad to have the
cloak, if he would not suffer from the want
of it himself.
He assured her that he should not, being
accustomed to all kinds of weather.
“- His surtout \\on’t spoil,” said one of the
dandies, in a voice of affected tenderness;
“and, besides, my dear, the cloak will hold
you both.”
The young widow blushed, and the young
gentleman, turning quickly, round, addressed
the speaker in a tone of dignity which I
shall never ‘forget; ‘‘I am not naturally
quarrelsome, sir, but yet it is quite possible
you may provoke too far.”
But the exquisitcs turned pale as death,
and shrunk in spite of themselves into their
natural insigniticance ; and they scarcely
opened their lips, even to each other, during
the remainder of the journey.
In the meantime the young gentleman,
with the same politeness and delicacy as if
he had been assisting a lady of quality with
her shawl, proceeded to wrap the widowand
her baby with his cloak. He had hardly
accomplished this when a smart shower of
rain mingled with hail, commenced. Being
myself provided with a cloak, the cape of
which was sufficiently large to envelope and
protect my head,I offered the young gentle-
man my umbrella, which he readily accept-
ed, but held it, I remarked, in a manner bet-
ter calculated to defend the widow than him-
self.
When we reached Craig’s Inn, the second
stage from Edinburg, the rain ceased, and
the young gentleman politely returned my
umbrella, began to relieve the widow of his
dripping cloak, which he shook over the side
of the coach, and afterwards hung it on the
railway to dry. Then turning to the young
widow he inquired if she would take any le-
freshments ; and upon her answering in the
negative, he proceeded to enter into conver-
sation with her as follows :
“ Do_you travel fin‘ on this road,ma’am .7”
“-About sixteen miles further, sir, I leave
the coach six miles on the other side of the
Airdrie.
“ Do your friends dwell theroabouts '2”
“Yes, sir, they do. Indeed I am on my
way to my father’s house.”
“ To your father’s !”
- .-.. -._.__ -_....-.- . ...o—.
\
."Z>.i ~
her handkerchief to her eyes, and sobbing
audibly: “I am ‘returning to him a discon-
solate widow, after a short absence "of two
years.” 1
“ Is your father in good circumstances?”
“ I-Ie .Wlll hever suffer me or my baby to
want, sir, while he has strength to labor for
us; but he is himself in povertv-—a day
laborer on the estate of the Earl of H ”
At the mention of this nobleman’s name,»
the young gentleman colored a little, but it
was evident that this emotion was not of an
unpleasant nature.
“ What is your father’s name,” said he.
“ James Anderson, sir.”
“ And his residence?”
“ Blinkbony.” . V
“ Well, I trust that though desolateas far
as this world is concerned,you know some-
thing of Him who" is the Father of the fath-
erless, and the judge ofthe widow. If so,
thy Maker is your husband and the Lord of
Hosts is his name.”
. “ Oh I yes, sir, I bless God that through
a pious parent’s care, I know something of
divine grace, and the consolation of the gos-
pel. My husband though a tradesmen, was
a man who feared God above many.”
“ The remembrance of that must tend
much to alleviate your sorrow.”
“ It does, indeed sir, at times; but at oth-
er times I am ready to sink. "My father’s
poverty and my advancing age, my baby’s
helpliness and my own feebly health are fre-
quently too much for my feeble stren-Llh.”
“Trust in God and he will provide for
you ; be assured he will.”
By this time the coach was again in mo-
tion, and though the conversation continued
for some time the noise of the wheels pre-
vented me from hearing it distinctly. I
could see the dandies, however exchange
looks with one another; and, at one time,
the more fortunate of the two whispered
something to his companion, in which the
words “Methodist parson” alone were
audible.
At Airdre nothing particular occurred;
when we got about half way between that
town and Glasgow, we arrived at a cross-
road, where the Widow expressed a wish to
be set down. The young gentleinan, there-
fore, desired the driver to stop, and spring-
ing himself from the coach, took the infant
in his arms, and then, along with the guard
assisted her to decend.
“ May God reward you,” she said, as he
returned the baby to her, “for your kind-
ness to the widow and fatherless this day.”
“ And may he bless you,” replied he,
“ with all spiritual consolation in Jesus
Christ.”
So saying, he slipped something into her
hand : the widow opened it: instinctively.-—
I saw two sovereigns glittered in her palm ;
she dropped ,a tear upon the money,and
turned round to thank her benefactor; but
he already resumed his seat upon the coach.
She cast towards him and eloquent and
grateful look ; pressed her infant to her be-
som_and walked hurriedly away.
No other passenger wishing to alight at
the same place, we were soon again in rapid
motion towards the great emporium of the
west of Scotland. Not a word was spoken.
The young gentleman sat with his arms
crossed upon his breast ; and if I might
judge by the expression of his countenance
was evidently resolving some scheme of be-
nevolence in his mind. The dandies regard-
ed him with blank amazement. They also
had seen the gold in the -widows hand, and
seemed to think that there was more under
that shabby surtout than their “puppy
brains” could easily conjecture. That in
this they were right was made .speedily
manifest. V S’
When we had entered Glasgow, and
approaching the Buck’s head, the inn at
which our conveyance was to stop, an open
travelling carriage, drawn by four beauti-
ful horses, droveup in an opposite direction _
The elegance ofthis equippage made the
dandies spring to their feet.
“ VVhat beautiful greys!” cried the one.
“I do wonder towhom they can belong.”
“He is a happy fellow, any -how,” re-_
plied the other‘; “I would give half of
Yorkshire to call them mine.”
The stage coach and the traveling car-
riage stopped at the Buck’s Head at the
moment, a footman, in laced livery spring-
ing down from behind the latter looked first
inside and then on top of the -former, when
he lifted his hat with a siniie of respectful
recognition. '
“ Areyou all well at the castle, Robert ?”
inquired the young gentleman in the sur-
tout ' '
“ All well my Lord,” replied the foot-
man. ,
At the sound of that monosyllable, the
faces of the exquisites became visible elon-
gated; but without taking the smallest no-
tice ofthem or their confusion, the noble-
man politely wished me good morning; and
descended from the coach, caused the foot-
man to place his cloak and portmanteau in
the carriage. He then stepped into it himself
and the footman getting up behind, the
coachman touched the leader very lightly
with his whip, and the equippage and its no-
ble owner were soon out of sight.
Pray, what nobleman is that?” said one
of the dandies to the landlord, as we entered
the inn.
“ The Earl of H , sir,” replied the
landlord, “ one ofthe best men as well"as
one of the richest in Scotland.”
