- ' SPIRIT-LOVE,
He loved her not as one might love a pure
And gentle sister, for his pulses leaped I
To hear her name, and his dark, restless eyes
Grew-calm when in her presence, as the waves
That fall into a charmed sleep when come:
The large, lone moon to take its place on high.
He loved her as the holy devotee O ' _
Adores the saint in Heaven that he inv_okes,_
The gentle guardian angel that he feels ‘
Is hovering o’er.his destiny. -
And~yet
She was not very beautiful—her’s was
A calm, sweet face, lit by her large, clear eyes,
Through which the deep, pore soul within look-
edout, '
A: God shines on us through the Universe. I
Ohl very lovely was her pale, high brow,
Where never sorrow, passion, or the world ~
Had written one hard line; it only tuned"
To need a hole to be like a saint’: f
In all its look. Her voice was low and soft,
As music and sweet song together go. ,. ,_
Herwords. and their soft symphony went hand
In h§_§Id- Her form was fragile in it_s.niouldj,-
Not moving in a proud and statelyair,
As if accustomed to the marble roof ' H
Of kings, and prnctised ineach graceful step
As to the sound of late and vlol sweet-— ‘
Yet was there grace and poetry in each
Light motion ofher form, the grace that seemed
The circle of a high and gentle soul
Extended wide until it reached and charmed
Her slightest act.
' A
-vvv
He could not date the time
Or name the hour when her sweet visage come
And filled the lonely temple of his heart.
He only knew his thoughts like organs swelled
To deep cathedral‘ music when her voice
Fell on his car; he only felt that life
Was more intense when he was at her side,
Though ’twas but mournful pleasure that her
. pure,
Bright presence gave. She came to him like
some I ‘
Lone, beauteous bird from southern skies that
perched,
Uponthe altar of his heart, and filled
His ears with song by day and night ; he knew
Not when nor how she came; he only felt
That she was there forevermore.
Oft though
He trod the banquet hall a favored guest,
And pledged in wine the bright eyes glistening
there,
And whispered love vows softly into cars
That liked his silver-voice right well, and timed
The gleeful measures of harmonious chords
With blue-eyed girls that seemed totread the
air .
Like tissue-clouds and floating stars that gleam
Along the wide aerial palace halls
On high, yet was he never false to her.
Her clear eyes trembled o’er hismemory like
Calm stars that glisten down on deep, still seas,
And, though the storm and rumings of the
world '
Obscured awhile their bright reflection there,
When quiet came again, with holy light
They-shone upon his spirit’s depths and seemed
The watchthat God had set upon his wild .
And stormy life. She saved him oftentimes
From sin. for there was tal-ismanic power
Linked with the thought of one so pure.
When ‘life
Seemed weary, dark, and cold, when through
the night
Not one my gliminered even faintly out,
When wild the world glared on him with its
chill, _
Unsympathizing eyes, her memory like
A voice from Heaven swept o'er his troubled
dream, ‘ .
And shed peace there. making a hallowed light
Above the atmosphere of storm and gloom.
When on him fever laid its fiery hand,
And brought is languid frame almortto death,
She mingled ith the strange, faptastic dreams
That swept his weary, aching brain, and
seemed -
An angel clothed in shining robes that God
Had sent to scatter cooling’ dews around,
And charm the pain away that throbbed be-
neath
Hls burning brew. And in the night, the deep
And holy night, she was a part of all
The wild, bright visions wandering thro’ the
dim -
And haunted halls of thought that lay like
lone,
Deserted chambers in the pale moonlight,
Where spirits of the past, and dim,‘gray forms
From unknown stars were keeping measured
time .
To soft and airy music, all unheard
Of other care.
She was the deep, sweet thought
That lay concealed within his folded heart ;
She was the one pure feeling of his life-
The aloe of an hundred years that bloomed
Within his soul—-his spirit’s vesper hymn,
Its matin song; she was the path that led
His thought on high—the lone, charmed circle
I where

The Umbrella Girl.
Quaker ’Philnnthropist, was emphatical-
ly the friend of the friendless, and sedu-
lously devoted .his long life to deeds of
benevolence. Untold numbers of per-
sons have been rescued-from misery, deg-
radation and min, by his kind assistance
support and counsel, and now live to
bless their benefactor. The following
interesting tale of truth shows how ten-
derly he wooed a wanderer back to vir-
tuc’s path, and how sternly he r_eb'uked
those who meditated the destruction of
the poor and the lowly.] --
A young girl, the only daughter of a
poor widow, removed from the country
to Philadelphia, to earn her living by cov-
eiiug umbrellas. She was ‘very hand-
some; with glossy black hair, large bea-
mingeyes; "and Olipaligke wet coral.”-
She ‘was just at that acceptable age,
fines youth is ripening into womanhood
when the soul begins to,be pervaded by
that restless principle; which impel: poor
humans to seek perfection in union." j
‘ At: hotel near the store for which
she worked, an English traveller, called
Lord Henry Stuart, had taken lodgings.
He was a strikingly handsome man, and
of princely carriage. As this distinguish-
ed stranger passed to and from his hotel,
he encountered the umbrella girl, and
was attracted by _her uncommon beauty.
He easily traced her tothe store, where
he soon after went to purchase an um-
brella. This was soon followed up by
presents of flowers, chats by the wayside
and invitations to walk or «ride ;- all of
which were gratefully accepted by the
unsuspected rustic; for she was as igno-
rant of.-.the dangers of a city as were the
squirrels of her _ native fields. He was
merely playing a game of temporary ex-
citement. She, with a head full of ro-
mance, and a heart melting under the in-
fluence of love, was unconsciously en-
dangering the happiness of her whole
life. . ,
Lord Henry invited her to visit the
public gardens on the Fourth of J uly.—
In the simplicity of heart, she believed
. all his flattering professions, and consid-
ered herself his bride elecr; she there-
fore, accepted the invitation with inno-
cent. frankness. But she had no dress fit
to appear in on such a public occasion,
with a gentleman of high rank, whom
she verily supposed to be her destined
husband. While these thoughts revolved
in her mind, her eye was unfortunately
longing to her employer. Could she not
take it without being seen, and pay (for
it secretly, when she had carried money
enough! The temptation conquered
her in a moment of weakness. She can-
cealed the silk, and carried it to her lod-
gings. It was the first thing she had
ever stolen, and her remorse was painful.
She would have carried it back, but she
dreaded discovery. She was not sure
that her repentance would be met ‘in a
spirit of forgiveness.
On the eventful Fourth of July, she
came out in her new dress. Lord Hen-
ry complimented her ‘upon her elegant
appearance, but she was not happy.
their way to the gardens, he talked to her
in a manner which she did not compre-
hend. Perceiving this. he spoke. more
explicitly. ‘ The guilfless young creature
stopped, looked into his face with mourn-
ful reproach, and burst into tears. The
nobleman took her hand kindly and said,
"My dear," are you an innocet girl?"
"I am, I am," she rcplied..,with con-
vulsive sobs. "Oh, what have I ever
done or said, that you should ask me
such a question T’ . '
The evident sincerity of her words,
stirred the deep fountains of his better
nature. "If youare innocent,” said _he,
‘"God forbid that Ishould make you oth-
Butyou accepted my invita-
tions and presents so'readily, that 1 sup-
posed you understood rne.’,’ _
"What could I understand,” said she,
"except that you intended to make me
your wife ?” ’ ‘ ‘
Though reared amid the proudest dis-
tinctions of rank, he felt no inclination
to smile. He blushed and was silent.——
The heartless conventionalities of ~the.
world stood rebuked. in the presence of
affectionate simplicity. He conveyed.
her to her humble home, and bade _her
farewell, with a thaulfiil cousciousness
that he had done no irretrievable injury
to her future prospects. _ The’ remem-
brance of her would soon be to him as
the recollection of last year's butter-flies
With her, the wound was deep. In the
solitude of her chamber, she wept in bit-
terness of heart, over ruined air castles.
And that dress which she had stolen to
make an appearance befitting his bride !
.Oh, what if she should be discovered?
And would not the heart of her poor
widowed mother break, if she should ev-
er know that her child was a thief?.”
Alas, her wretlied forebodings proved
too true.—_-The silk was traced to her;
shawas arrested on her way to the store
and dragged to prison. There she wept
incessantly. On the fourth day the keep
er called upon Isaac T. Hopper, and in-
formed him that there was a young girl
in prison, who appeared -to be utterly
friendless, and determined to die by star-
vation; The kind hearted friend imme-
diately went to her assistance. He
found her lying on the floor of her cell,
with her face buried in her hands, sob-
bing as if her heart would break. He.
tried to comfort her, but could not obtain
an answer. _
"Leave us alone," said he to the keep-
er. (‘Perhaps she will speak to me, if
there is no one to hear.” When they
were alone together, he put back the
hair from her temples, laid his hand kind-
ly on {her beautiful head, and said in
soothing tones, “My child, consider me
as dry father. Tell me all thou hast
done. If thou hast taken this silk, tell
me all about it, I do for thee as I would
for my.own daughter; (and I doubt not
that ]. can help thee out of this difiiculty.
After a long time spent in affectionate
entreaty,-she'lea_ned her young head on

“P¢|’h3P° We can manage that ' she
never shall know it," replied be. Allo-
ring her by this hope, he gradually ob.
tained from her, the whole story of hu-
acquaintance with the nobleman. He
bade her be comforted, and take nourish.
ment: for he would see that the silk was
paid for, and the prosecution withdrawn.
- He went immediately to her employer
-and told him the story. "This is her
firs: offence,” said he. "The girl is
young, and ‘she is the chi_ld of a_ poor
widow. Give her a chance to retrieve
this one false step, and she may be res-
tored to society, I ‘useful and honored
woman. I will see thou art [jd for the
silk.” The man readily agreed to with-
draw the prosecution, and said he would
have dealt otherwise by the girl, if he
had known all the circumsiauces._—-
"Thou should'st have inquired into the
merits of the case,” replied Friend Hop-
per. "By this kind of thoughlessnese,
many a young creature is driven into
the downward path. who might easily
have been saved." '
The kind hearted man next proceeded
tohhe hotel; and with Quaker’ simplicity
of speech inquiredfor Henry Smart.---'
The servant said his lordshiphad not yet
risen. 7 "Tell him my -business ie<of-im-
portance," said F lend “Hopper. The
servant soon returns and conducted him
to the chamlhr. The nobleman appear-
ed surprised that astrauger, in the Qua-
ker costume, should’ thus intrude upon
hisluxurious privacy. When he heard
his errand he blushed deeply, and frank-
ly admitted the truth of the girl’: state-
ment. I-Iir benevolent visitor took the
opportunity to "bear a‘ testimony” against
the selfishness and sin of profligacy. He
did it in such a kind and fatherly man-
ner, that the young man’s heart was
touched. I-le excused himself by saying
that he would not have tampered with
the girl if he had known her to be
virtuous. "I have done many wrong
things,” said be, "but, thank God, no
betrayal ofconfiding innocence weighs on
my conscience. I have always esteemed it
the bases: act of whicha man is capable.’
The imprisonment of the poor girl. and
the forlorn situation in which she had
been found, distresseed him greatly.-
When friend Hopper represented that
the silk had been stolen for his sake, that
the girl had thereby lost profitable em-
ployment, aud was obliged to return to
her distant home, to avoid the danger of
exposure, he took out a fifty dollar‘ note
‘and offered it to pay her expenses. _
"Nay,” said Isaac. "Thou art a very
rich man, I presume. I see in thy hand
a large roll of such notes. She is the
daughter of a poor widow, and thou hast
been the means of doing her great inju-
ry. Give me another.” .
Lord Henry handed him another fifty
dollar note, and smiled as he said.’ "You
understand your business well. But you
have acted. nobly, and .I reverence you
for it. If ever you visit England comeoand
come, andtreat you like a nobleman.”
"Farewell, friend," replied the qua-
ker. ‘The’ much to blame in this sf-:
fair, thou hast behaved nobly. May’st
thou be blessed in domestic life, and tri.
fie no more with the feelings of poor
girls; not even with those whom others
have betrayed and deserted.”
When_ the girl was arrested, she had
sufficient presence of mind to assume a
false name, and by that means her true
name had been kept out the newspapers.
"I did this,” said she, "for my poor moth-
er's sake." With the money given by
Lord Stuart, the silk was paid for, and
she was sent home to heinmother well
provided with clothing. Her name and
place of residence forever remained a se-
cret in the breast of her benefactor. .
Years after these events transpired, a
lady called at Friend llopper’s house,
and -asked to see him. When he enter-
ed the room, he found a handsomely dres-
sed young matron, with a blooming boy
of five or six years old. She rose quick
ly to meet him, and her voice chdred as
she said, "Friend Hopper, do you know
me I" He replied that he did not. She
fixed her tearful eyes earnestly upon him
and said, "You once helped me when in
great distress.” But the good mission-
ary had helped too many in distress
to be able to recollect her without
more precise ' information. With a
tremulousvoice, she bade her sun ‘go.
into the next room for a fewminutes ;—
then dropping on her knees, she hid her
face in his lap and sobbed out, “I am ch!
girl who stole the silk.- Oh, where
should I now be, it had not been for you!"
- When her emotion was somewhat
calmed, she told him that she had mar-
ried a highly respectable man, a’ Senator
of his native State. Being on a visit in
Friend Hopper’s vicinity, she" had again
and again passed his dwelling. looking
wistfully at the windows to catch a sight
of him; but when she attempted“ to en-
ter, her courage failed.
"But I must return home to marrow,"
said she, "and I could not go away with
out once moreseekiug and thanking him
_who saved me from ruin." She recalled
her little boy and said to him, "Look at
him, and remember him well ; hr he
was the best friend your mother ever
had.” With an earnest invitation to
visit her happy home, and a fervent God
bless you ! she bade her benefactor thro-
well. ’
