Lines by Milton in his Old Age.
. I am old and blind ! _
Men point at me as smitted by God’s frown.
Aflicted, and deserted of my mind,——
Yet I'am not cast down.
0 merciful One !
When friends phss by-—my weakness sin.-
Thy chariot I hear.
Thy glorious face
Is leaning towards me,—u.nd its holy light
Shines in upon my lonely dwelling place,
' And there is no more-night.
On my bended knee
I recognize Thy purpose clearly shown—-
My vision Thou hast dimmed that I may see
Thyself, Thyself alone.
I have naught to fear ;
This darkness is the shadow of Thy wing,—,
Beneath it I am almost sacred--here
Can come no evil thing
Oh! I seem to stand [been
Trembling where foot ofmorial ue’er hath
Wrapped in the radiance of Thy sinless land
Which eye hath never seen.
Visions come and go—-
Shapes of resplendent beauty round me throng
From angel lips I seem to hear the flow
Of soft and holy song.
It is nothing now,
When heaven is opening on my sightless eyes,
When airs from Paradise refresh my brow,
' The earth in darkness lies.
_ In a purer clime.
My being fllls with raptin-e—-wave of thought
Roll in upon my spirit-—strains sublime
"' Break over me unsought.
Give me now my lyre!
I feel the stirrings of a gift divine.
Within my bosom glows unearthly fire
Lit by no skill of mine.

“Well Augustus,” said Marianne, as
the former entered a little room which,
without carpet, curtain, or ornament of
any kind, served askitchen, sitting room
and nursery, “weare really settled down
at house-keeping. Don’L it seem com-
fortable, after so many privations ’."’
“Yes,” answered the young husband,
trying to smile, as he gnced first at his
handsome wife, and Iii -at the neat lit-
tle pine supper table, and then at the
cradle where slept in little charming boy
of six months, "but mine is such a life
of toll that Iwhavc no time to enjoy any-
ihing—-not even to play with Fret ."
“But it seems to me,” returned the
wife very thoughtfully, "that it need not
be just so. We are_ not in debt, we both
have health, and I am willing to be very
economical, in order that we may have
time for enjoyment and improvement,
too. Say, shall we try the experiment?

spoke, and looked up into his face with

~ :1 sweet and hopeful smile ; but his face
was deadly pale, and an unbidden tear
stood in his eye as he answered moodily:
don’t know how that can be. Ev-
ery moment taken from my labor, is so
much taken from our scuul.y income.-—
We cannot afford to aztenil places of
low
style of living we cannot mingle in the
first society, and I will never consent. to
enter any other than good :r~o_ciety, if we
live alone ; and as for improveinent, my
education was so neglecu:-d in my child-
hood, Liiat..I have little taste for reading,
and besides, we have 2:-:ia.hiii_g to read.”
“O yes,” said the wife, "we have
L‘-iliillgll to begin with. Here our
beautiful new gilt Bible, which we must
read every morning and evening, and
here is our New Yorl: paper. with good
improving matterenouggh to last. one or
two evenings in a week, and you can
easily have a sharein a public library to
fiii up the rest."
"But. how shall 1 find time, my good
pianning,wife?’’ ‘ ~ ’
-"I."hank you, Augusuie, for the com-
pliment, and now 1 Will plan on: We
will rise early, and work diligently all
day. Then if you ibink you need to
work longer, you can bring your work
into my room, or I will iake Frgd into

3 , Augustus took up the Bible, and read
,= a good chapter in Proverbs, on the prac-
tical duties of life, and declared that he
} had never beforepread such a chapter.-
f The plan was fairly begun.
_ Augustus was a pale, spare young
man of nine and twenty. His education
ins he said, had been sadly negleccedin
} his youth. He had been bound appren-
: tics to a rough shoemaker in the coun-
try, and had unhappily settled the ques-
tion in his own mind, that he was doo-
med to ignorance and a low and degra-
ding employment for life. He had im-
agined also, that his relations were wil-
ling to lose sight of him, and his nature
was stung to the quick. Afters few
years of vexation and toil, he wandered
far. away from home and friends and fa-
miliar aspociations ; and a wonder it
was, that he was not hurried aulay by
the awful whirlpool of error and vice,
and dashed upon the rocks of utter des-
truction !
He had however been favored with
the instructions and prayers of 2: Chris-
man mother, and had seen examples in
his ownfamily, of high purpose and no-
ble nnd successful effort. . He had there-
fore, preserved an unsullied reputation,
badpacquired a little property, had mar-
ried an intelligent, cheerful, healthy girl
I of twenty summers, had removed to a
;."city of shoemakers,” where his occu-
pation was honorable, and where his as-
piration after respectability and indepen-
, deuce might hope to be realized.
‘But. on the afternoon. preceding his
conversation, he had been unusually an-
noyed. He had suffered some embar-
rassment in getting settled in his humble
, tenement-—had sustained some losses,
and heard a bitter sarcastic remark from
an aristocrat of that place, which crim-
soned his pale cheek and sent him home
through 8 cold rainstorm, wearied in
body, depressed, vexed in spirit, and al-
most determined never to make another
effort.
He was, and supposed he ever
be a poor shoemaker of L: .
it * #0 ¥ *
Twenty years had elapsed, and a fam-
ily group were arranged around *1 mar-
ble ceutre table,in the parlor of a mag-
nificent house in the city of L———. A
gentleman of some fifty years, had just
divested himself of his outer garments,
and dressed in a rich velvet gown and
embroidered slippers, sat reading the
journals of the day. A lady some years
younger, sat by his side, her face beam-
ing with intelligence, benevolence and
gratified pride, as she gazed at her dig-
nified and honored husband, and then at

table. One was a noble youth just re-
turned to spend his College vacation at
home, another was a tall graceful ‘girl of
sixteen, who had finished a long recita-
tion to her brother, and was preparing
to cheer the circle with her ever wel-
come musio on the piano. A bright boy
of twelve was performing a problem in
mathematics, and a little cherry-cheeked
girl was drawing pictures on her slate,
and teazing everybody to teach her.
Presently the door-bell announced a
visitor. A person entered and presented
a subscription -for religious charity.-
“Put me down a hundred dollars,” said
the good man’, and the collector departed
blessing the giver. When he was gone,
the gentleman said, "my dear, did you
think to send the coal and flour to the
poor woman on the corner I” “Yes,
and Frederic and Mary have been round
to that sick family, and carried the
clothes and the medicines.” "Yes, pa-
pa,” said little Kate, looking up from
the house she was drawing, “they car-
ried away my new stockings.” “Shall
I send and get them back again?" said
the father. ‘'0 no, indeed,” said the
chiId,“I sent them. Poor little Char-
ley's feet were cold andbleeding.”
The father now remarked that it was
time for family worship. In a moment
all was silent—-books, slates, papers and
work were all laid aside. A "neat gilt
Bible, bearing the marks of constant
usage was brought; The son read an
interesting portion. The whole family
joined in a familiar hymn, and the father
led in prayer, and worshipped the Father
of merciesin spirit and truth, from the
fulness of a grateful heart.
After an interval of silence, the son
looked up as if from a reverie and said
——“Father, I think I have heard you
say, that your youth was neglected, that
you were once poor, illiterate, almost an
infidel and entirely discouraged. It
would be extremely interesting to us to
learn by what means the mayor of this
good city, the honored trustee of our col-
lege, the Superintendent of our Sabbath
School, and the deacon of our church,
has arisen from so unpromising begin-
nings, to his present station.”
The eyes of the good man filled with
tears, his lip quivered, he covered his
face with his handkerchief, and for some
time no whisper was heard from the as-
tonished audience around him. He was
thinking of the poverty‘ and ignorance
of his early days—of the religious er-
rors which had well nigh caused his des-
truction--of the way in which a kind
watchful Providence had led his thought
ful steps, amid all the dangers around
him-—of the blessing he had received in
his lowly, admirable wife, of the days
of toil and nights of hard study, in which
she had shared, and cheered him on like
an angel of no t and love, and lastly of
the countless b -ssings and honors which
now surrounded him. At lengfhlie un-
covered his face and amid stifled sobs
said to his wife, “tell the children, dear,
the conversation we had together,‘ just
twenty years ago to-night, around our
little pine tea-table.”
He was the shoemaker of L

oiranger from the country, stirred the
'time to hear the stranger’s defiance to
Don Fight in F1-ogtown.
There is an excellent moral to the fol-
lowing story which is told with great
skill. It shows us how a whole village,
or a whole church is sometimes torn to
pieces, by a fight between two puppies :
The most remarkable dog fight on rec.
,ord came off at Frogtown, on the fron-
tier of Maine, some years ago. It en.
grossed the entire community in one gen-
eral indiscriminate melee--interminable
lawsuits, or suits of lawsuits, distraction
of the town,‘its downfall and ruin !,
A fanciful genius named Joe Tucker,
a man about town-—-a. lounges, without
visible means of support, a do-nothing, a
ioafiing, cigar smoking good natured fel-
low, owned a dog; a slick, intelligent,
and rather pretty beast_ always at Joe's
heels, and known as well as his master
and liked far more by the Frogtowners.
One day. Joe and his dog were passing
Bunion’s grocery story, when a great
piebald ugly-looking dog, standing along-
side of a wood wagon, bounded on to
Joe Tucker's dog, knocked him heels
over head, and so frightened Bob Carter's
wife, who was passing towards her hus-
band's blacksmith shop, with his dinner;
that she fumbled backwards, and her old
sun bonnet flopping off. scared the horse
attached to the wagon. He started; hit
Lathai-em’s barber poie—upset the load
of wood, half of which falling ‘down
Gumbo's refreshmem. cellar, struck one
of Gumbo’s children on the head, killed
it for a time, stone dead ; and so alarm-
ed Mrs. Gumbo, that she dropped a stew
pan of hot boiling oysters into the lap of
a customer who sat waiting for the sa-
vory concoction by a. table in the corner.
Mrs. Gumbo rushed for the chi!d—the
customer for the door. Mrs. Gumbo
screamed, the child screamed, and the
customer yelled!
“Oh, oh! oh-oh oh-oh, my poor’ child,"
cried Mrs. Gumbo.
“Eh,~eh-e-e-e-e !” screamed the child.
"Oh, murder-r-r? 0, my everlasting
sin, I'm called to all eternity 3 Mur-
der-i-r roared the customer.
The horse, the part of a wagon, and
some of the wood, were on their mad ca-
reer. The owner of the strange dog
came ‘out of the store just in time to see
J oe Tucker seize a rock to demolish
the szivage dog ; and not waiting to see
Joe let drive, gave him such a. pop on
the back, that poor Joe fell forty rods up
the street, and striking the foot. of a. lad-
der upon wbich Jim Edderby was per-
ched, paint pot in hand, some thirty feel‘
from terra firmn brought ladder, Jim and
paint pot sprawling to the earth; crip-
pling poor Jim for life, and sprinkling
blue paint copiously over the broadclotlis
satinetts, and calicoes of Abraham Mil-
ler, a formal and even tempered Quaker,
who ran out to the door, just as the two
dogs had gone fairly at it, hip and thigh
nip and catch. A glance at matters
seemed to convince Abraham of the case;
and in an unusually elevated voice, he
called out to Joe Tucker, who had righ-
leil llp,
“Joseph Tucker, thy dog’s fighting."
“Let ’em fight it out," yelled the.pug-
nacious owner of the strange dog. “Let
my dog can eat. anv dog in town, and I
can eat the owner.”
We have said Abraham Miller was a
mild man; Quakers gre proverbially so.
But the gauntlet thrown down by the
gal! of Abraham, and he rushed into the
store; from the back yard, having slip-
ped‘ his collar, Abraham brought forth a
brindle our, strong, long, and all power-
ful. '
“Friend,” said the excited Quaker,
‘fthy dog shall be well beaten, I promise
thee! Hike seize upon him ! Turk, here
boy!” and the dog went at it.
Bob Carter, the Smith, coming up in
the town, and bent on afight with some-
body, for the insult and damage to his
wife, clamped the collar of the sranger,
and by a series of ten pounds ten upon the
face, back and sides of his bully antago-
nist, with his natural sledge hammers,
Bob, stirred up the strength and ire of
the bully stranger, to the top of his com-
pass, and then made the sparks fly dread-
fully.
Joe Tucker's dog, reinforced by that
of Abraham Miller, took -a fresh start,
and between the two, the strange dog
was being cruelly put to his trumps.-—
Deacon Pugh one of the most pious and
substantial men in Frogtown, came up,
and iudeedthe whole town Was assem-
bling, and Deacon Pugh armed with his
heavy walking stick, and shocked at the
spectacle before him, marched up to the
dogs, exclaiming as he did so.
“Fic, fie, fie, for shame! disgraceful !
you men, citizens of Frogtown, will you
stand by, and-
“Don’t thee, don’: thee strike my dog
Deacon Pugh!” cried Abraham Miller, 1
advancing to the Deacon, who was about
to cut right and left among the dogs with
his cane. “-
Gumbo's collar with a frighful velocity!
The friends and fellow churchmen of
Deacon Pugh took sides against the Qua-
ker antagonist, and the shop boys of
Abraham, seeing their employer thus be-
set, came to the rescue, while two Irish-
men,'fuli of fun and frolic, believing it
to be a "free fight,” tried their hands
and sticks upon the combatants indiscrim-
inately, so that in less than an hour, the
quiet and happy town of Frogtown was
shaken from its impropriety by one grand
sublimely ridiculous and terrific battle
Heads and windows were smashed, chil-
dren and women screamed, dogs barked,
dust flew, labor ceased, and sq furious,
mad and excited became the whole com-
munitymhat a quiet locker on, if there
had been any, would have sworn the evil
ones were all in Frogtown.
A heavy thunder storm finally put an
end to the row, the dogs were all more
or less killed, a child severely wounded
a man sculded, a wagon broken; the
horse ran himself to death, his owner
was beaten awfully by Bob Carter,
whose wife and the wives of many others
were dangerously scared; the painter

Address 11-om the Japanese at
Jeddo Bay on Board Ship Lady
Pierce.
With pleasure we welcome you to
J eddo Bay, and in doing so, can assure
you that your ship. the Lady Pierce, in
the first foreign vessel that has been re.
ceived by us with pleasure.
Commodore Perry brought with him
too many large guns and fighting men
to be pleasing to us, but you have-come
in your beautiful ship, which is superior
to any we have before seen, to visit us,
without any hostile weapons, and the
Em eror has ordered that you shall have
alfikindness and liberty extended to
yo t Commodore Perry received.
You have come here, Mr. Burrows,
relying on our friendship and hospitali-
ty, and we assure you that although we
have been shut out for ages from other
nations of the world, yet you shall bear
with you, when returning to your coun-
try, the knowledge that our Emperor
and the Japanese, his subjects, will nev-
er fail of extending protection to those
who come as you do to Japan. But the
Emperor is particularly desirous that you
should extend the terms of the treaty
made with Commodore Perry. wherever
you may go, to prevent any more ships
coming to J eddo Bay, as all must here-
after go to Simoda or Kakadada.
It has has given the Emperor and all
the Japanese great pleasure that you
have returned to Japan our countryman
Dee-yo-no-skee, who was shipwrecked,
and who has been residing for some time
in your country, where he has been trea-
- ted with the greatest kindness, and par-
ticularly so on board your ship, the Lady
Pierce. That you should have made‘ a
voyage to restore him to his friends and
home. without any other inducement, as;
you say, except to see Japan, and to form
a friendship with us, merits, and will ev-
er receive our most friendly feelings ;—
and be assured if any of your country-
man or other people are shipwrecked on
our shores, we will extend the same kind-
uess to them that you have to our coun-
trymen, and place them at Simoda or
Kakadada, and thus open to the world
that our religion, which is so difierent
from yousr, govern the Japanese in all
rheir dealings, by as correct principles
as those which govern you.
I We understand what ships and mer-
chants are; but we never before heard
until yo ame here, of such a ship as
yours——a private gentleman's pleasure
ship, gaming so far as you have, without
any money-making business or trade, and
only to see Japan, to become acquainted
with us, and bring home one of our ship-
wrecked people, the first that has retur-
ned to his country from American or
foreign lands.
You offer us as presents all the rare
and beautiful articles you have in your
ship; but we have received orders from
the Emperor that we must not tax your
kind feelings by taking anything from
you, as on have already been sufficient-
ly taxe in returning Dee ya no skee.
The Emperor also directs that all the
gold pieces* you have presented to the
Japanese must be collected and returned
to you, and to say that he alone must
make presents in J eddo Bay. He has di-
rected presents to be made to you in the
Emperor’s name, by the Governor of
mode, where he desires you will pgoceed
in your ship, the Lady Pierce, and land
Dee ye no skee, which will be in com-
pliance with the treaty.
Your visit to Japan in the Lady Pierce
has been attended with great interest to
us, and you will not be forgotten by the
Japanese. We hope we may meet you

we leave them thus, “nip and tuck,” to
look to the stranger and Bob Carter, who
fit and fought, until the Squire, lawyer
Hooker and the town constable came up,
and in their attempt to preserve the
peace, and arrest the offender,the Squire
was thrust through the window of a
