Solitude.
at s. rA:;cnnii.

It is not solitude, alone

To list the wild winds piercing‘ menu :
It is not in the hour ofnight

When silent and unseen in flight,
Time steals along with stealthy tn.-ad
Nor lingers by the slumboi-or’s bod :
It is not on some hill top high

Where not a. human voice is nigh,
Where eagles only sock ll home,
shunning the town and glittering dulm: ;
No ! there the eye sees nature smile
And bcauteous scenes the thoughts bcguih-.
Ihore (;'od’s own handiwork is seen

In hills and vales of living green,

While music of the winds bolow

. ...--lino the heart to wannlv glow

And bids the mind be calm, serei...

ln contemplating worlds unseen :

No I solitude is never found

Where Nature breaths her life around :
But in the throng of cit y life

Where all in din and bustling strife.
when man alone has roared the pile
Andmaininon rules it all the while.
Where men may meet day after day
And each pursue his separate way,
Where each engrossed in thought», his own.
Wraps up his feeling all alone.

'l‘o meet these persons day by day
And greet them as they pass our way.
Yet know they feel no kindred tie,

Nor ask nor give their sympathy-

To know that thousands near you are
Yet not a single heart. to care

If yours is filled with hope or grief,
Like olive branch or withered loaf.
Causes a feeling none can tell

Unless their lot has been to dwell,
Where man grown prematurely old
Beneath that heart bennmbing cold
Which many feel whom chance has thrown
Amid ten thousand, yet alone.

The Days at long ago.

The memories of early years

How beautiful are they !

Enshrined in love, cmbalmed in tears.
They ne’or can fade away.

The castles fancy proudly builds.
To-moi-row may be low ;

But heaven’si eternal radiance gilds
The days of long ago.

The blooming dell, the vocal grove.
Where childhood-‘s sunny hours

Were passed with gentle ones, whose love-
Bostrewcd my path with flowers.

Seen basking in the golden light,

Fond memory loves to throw

0’er that glad Springtime of delight,
The days of long ago.

And though sad thoughts will sometimes rise.
l ne'er am quite forlorn,

Since I can view the radiant skies,

That cheered me in life's morn.

And down the stream of time can liear

The silvery accents flow,

Ofthosc kind friends whose love made dear
The days of long ago.

The Doctor’s Story.
I am a physician, kind reader, residing
in the beautiful city of Elms. I was
born in this same city and have always
lived here. I know its every nook and
corner well. I have reveled beneath its
lofty clms, through its streets by day and
by night, for many. many long years.-—
My business has called me abroad as of-
ten by night as by day. add 1 have heard
the old clock up in the steeple of "mid-
dle church” strike all the hours of the
night, very many tiiues—uiore than I
ever shall do again, for I am old now,
my forehead is wrinkled, and my hair
has been white in long time; and the
time will soon come when I shall be
“called up” for the last time. But to
my story-—-and in couiiiieiiciiig, let. me
say the events that I am about to relate
took place a great many years ago, and
you, my dear friends, who do not recol-
lect the great fire on long wharf, will not
recollect the time I write of. I was a
young inau then, and had been in practice
buta fewyears. I recollect as well as
though it were but yesterday the morning
that I am about to tell you of, and acold-
er one I never experienced. There was
snow upon the ground, and the cold wind
had piled its huge drifts; the wind was
blowing a tremendous gale, and the snow
was still falling fast. I had but just
come from my breakfast, and was sitting
by a hot, blazing wood fire in my office.
Iliad taken inylboots-‘pf!’ and sat warming
in feet \\ill€Il hear the door creak,aiid
tiiliiiug I behold a little girl, a very little
girl; and she could not have been more
than six years old. “ VVell, what do you
want '1” I asked sharply, (for I was not
in very good humor that cold moriiiiig.)
The little timid thing stretched out her
tiny red hand, and in her childish voice I
heard, " Please, Sir, give me a cent to
buy bread '9” Why I did not give her
what asked and more, ask me no! ; but
I drove her from my door. I have shed
many bitter tears over the fact, and have
prayed many times to be forgiven the act
of that moment. of my life. I told her to
be gone! tiniially I called her a little Mali.
She shut the door, and I took a seat again
by the fire, but I was not easy. I lit. a
cigar and pulled away at that, butl could
not forget the little giil. “Please, Sir,
give me a cent,” was ringing in my ear.
Iarose and walked to the window. I
rubbed off the frost with my hand-—aud
looking out I saw the tracks of the poor
little creature’s feet, and discovered for
the first time that she was barefoot; 1195
upon that bitter cold morning she was
wading through the snow with her little
feet bare ; yes, there were the marks of
her feet in the snow——aiid in the centre
of one of them was a 5P0‘ 0‘ bl°°_d"‘
Great heaven! whatwould I have given,
to have called that little creature back .
Alas, it was top li_It0-{Hill “Pleasev "5
give me a cent, rings in my ear to this
day, I tried every way to forget the_lit-
ile girl, but I could no_t—and every time
1 looked out of the window there were
those little foot-prints; I believe they
would have drove me mad, had I not ta-
ken the office broom and erased them.-
Night at last came, and the snow was
still falling; the wintry blast swept
through the deserted streets, the snow
fell against the windows, and the trees
groaiied before the storm. It was a dis-
nial night, and few were abroad. I re-
tired early, and was soon asleep. 11'0"‘

eyes cleared, I perceived to my astonish-
iiicnt, a little boy standing shivering on
the steps. He was poorly clad, and the
poor little fellow was almost frozen; but
he looked up into my face, and the tears
rolled down his little red cheeks, as he
said, “Good, kind Mister Doctor, will
you come and see my poor mother? she
is very sick, she is indeed——and mother
is very poor, and she says she is afraid
you won‘t come because she can’t pay
you, Sir: and little Sis says she’ll never
come to your place again and make you
angry, Sir, because she’s very sick, and
she says she going to die, Sir.” Could I
refuse such an appeal, and from such a
source? No! I went with the little fel-
low to his home. Away up in the top
of an old frame house, Ifound what he
called “ home.” I tlioughtl knew soma-
I thought that I had
seen pu.--riy—but I must confess I nev-
er saw a sight like that before. A small
piece of candle was him-i.n9; from the
mouth of an old junk battle, by which I
got a view_of the premises; the windows

were entirely gone, and a large drift of
snow had fallen upon the floor. Upon I
bundle of straw, covered with old rags.
I found a woman, and the little girl of
Yesterday. “ My God!” I exclaimed,
" how can you live here on such a night
35 this '3" The poor woman opened her
eyes——she was too far gone to speak-
and pointed to a crust of bread upon the
floor-—for she had no table—I broke off
a piece, and she motioned to me to give
some to the little creature "by her side,-
I took the little girl by the hand, and up-
on doing. so, she opened her eyes, and
recognizing me she exclaimed, " Oh, Sir,
you will not hurt me, will you '3” I as-
sured her I would not, and she fell asleep
again. They were both very sick. Cold
and want lcad ‘brought them very near
the grave; they were too sick to be re-
moved, and I was thinking how I could
best make them comfortable, when the
little boy—who had been standing by all
the while, spoke. “ Oh, Sir,” said he,
" can you do any, thing for them? you
won’: let mother and Sis die and be bu-
riod up in the ground as poor father was,
will you. Si!‘ ?" I told the little fellow
I would do all in my power to save
them. I asked him why he did not call
me before. “ Oh, Sir,” says he, “ I was
just going to see you yesterday, when
little Sis came in, and she said you was
a dreadful cross man, and she said you
had driven her away—and I was afraid
to go sir ; I was afraid you’d put me in
the poor, house, and I didn’t want to go
there. Sir.” Don’t tellmeits“ unmanly
to cry!" he must. have had a hard heart
indeed, who could stand where I did and
not feel as I did. I told the little fellow
I was very sorry, and that he should not
want for a home or friend while I lived.
I told him_ to watch fby his mother and
sister, while I would go and get some
Wood for a fire, and some other things to
make them comfortable, I did so, and re.
turned as soon as possible, and I found
the little fellow, completely exhausted
had fallen 351°-9P5 the mother was dead
and the little girls fever much worse.\3
If it had been my own child, I could not
have done more for it than I did for than
lime girl. but death had marked her for
IIS Own; it was too late; and before the
siiuhad set the following day, her lime
spirit had goneqto Him who gave it, I
saw them both buried. I never shall
forget that scene in the burying ground;
the grave—digger with his pick-axe, that
heap of frozen earth mixed with snow;
that dismal looking opening in the earth;
all form part of apicmre [span "eve,
forget. The old minister who otliciged
has long beendead ; there were no long
line of carriages, no mourners but that
small boy and myself. The minister and
myself lowered them,-.--mother and
daughter into the same grave, where
they will rest until the judgmem_ God
knows I wept bitter tears that day and
it. made me a better and a wiser ma,n..._
A few words. about the boy, and I am
done. He lives,—I took him to my
home, reared and educated him ; some
tvveiity years since, he made the South
his home, and this day, that little fellow
who was, is one of the most eloquent
members of the bar at , and an 01--
uanient to his profession. He has been
a member of the State Senate three terms,
and of the United States House of Rep-
reseniativs once.
MY friends. my story is finished—and
the old doctor will conclude by saying,

£t3r" The New York Times has a good
hit upon one of the vulgar vanities of the
day, especially noticeable in New York
and other great cities, the New York
Times quotes the correspondent of a. coun-
try paper as telling the truth, when he
says:

No common man can now be ‘quietly
inurned,’ at a less expense than four or
five hundred dollars. An ordinary collin
costs fifty dollars; “*6 fee exacted by
those who are regarded as necessary ofli-
cars of the gloomy ovation will amount to
a corresponding sum; and if the family
of the deceased make the smallest preten-
sion to moderately fashionable life, they
cannot consent that the deceased shall be
followed to the grave by a. cortege of less
than one hundred carriages, at a. cost of
five dollars each, amounting in the aggre-
gate to five hundred dollars.

The Times adds:

Thai-é is, indeed, a. solemn foppery in
ourcounlry at fashionable people’s funer-
als, that violates all taste, and challenge-
the wonder of spectators at every rehear-
sal ; a distribution of black kids to the in-
vited mourners, and scarfs of fine linen to
be worn over the shoulders in the procai-
sion, and valued as_ worth so much 9. yard

.4sh¢sfo1 the .Plum.—A hint derived
from your pages. saved me, the last sea-
son, 3 large crop of plums, the first we
have had, of any amount, in some years.
This was the sprinkling of some dry ash-
es on the young fruit tree, as recommen-
ded by one of your correspondents, to
prevent the ravages of the curculio.—-
Every morning or two, until the plums
were full grown, the trees were well
dusted, and the result was a bountiful
crop of fine fruit. If any one has not
tried it-, let him do so the coming season.
