The Little Boy that Died.
Dr. Chalmers is said to be the author of the
following beautiful poem, mitten on the occa-
greatly loved :
I am all alone in my chamber now,
And the midnight hour is near;
And the fagot’s crack, and the clock’s dull tick,
Are the only sounds I hear.
And over my soul in its solitude,
Sweet feelings of sadness glide,
For my heart and my eyes are full flea I think
Of the little boy that died.
I went one night to my father's house-
Went home to the dear ones all——
And softly I opened the garden gate,
And softly the door of the hall.
My mother came out to meet her son——
Shc kissed me and then she sighed,
And her head fell on my neck, and she wept
For the little boy that died.
I shall miss him when the flowers come,
In the garden where he played ;
I shall miss him more by the fireside,
When the flowers have all decayed.
I shall see his toys and hlis empty chair,
And the horse he used to ride ;
And they will speak with a silent speech
Of the little boy that died.
We shall go home to our Father-’s house-
To our Father‘s house in the skies,
Where the hope of our souls shall have no
blight,
Our love no broken ties.
We shall roam on the banks of the river of peace
And bathe .in‘lt_§ blissful tide, ‘
And one of the joys of our hegaven shall be
The little boy that died. "

ELISE DE VAUX.
BY FANNY FERN.
“Well doctor, what do’ you think of
her? She has set her heart upon going
to that New Year’s Ball, and it will
never do to disappoint her, poor thing!”
The blunt old doctor hit his lip impa-
tiently, and striking his gold headed cane
in no very gentlemanly manner upon
the floor, said——- — .
"Think! I think it would be perfect
insanity {other to attempt it. I won’t.
be answerable for the consequences.’
“Pshaw! my dear sir; she has had a
dozen attacks before quite as bad, and—- ’
"And that is the very reason why she
should be more cautious now madam.——
Good morning—-good morning! - Heav-
en save me from these fashionable moth-
ers,”.he muugred, as be hanged the door
to, behind him. “She'll kill the girl,
and then her death will be laid to my
door--ugh! it would be a comfort if one
could meet a sensible woman occasional.
1 .19
y Elise was sitting in bed, propped up
by pillows, when her mother entered.--
If youth, grace and beauty eould bribe
the destroyer, or turn aside his unerring
aim, then had 3/ze been spared. Her
cheek was marble pale, and rested wea-
ijily on one little hand ; the eyes were
closed as if sleeping, and from the other
hand a few choice flowers had escaped,
and lay scattered upon the snowy coun-
terpane.
“Oh ! is that you, mama _'.' I hope you
have made that stupid doctor give you
something that Will set me up. I feel
such a deadly sinking-from want of
nourishment, I fancy. Do pray see what
you can get for me. 1 hope Dr. Wyvman
don’t presume to interfere about my go-
ing to the ball, because I intended to go
dead or alive; and mama, while my
lunch is getting ready, bring me my
dress, and let me see if Jeannet has pla-
ced the trimmings where they should be
and have a ruche placed around the wrist
of my kid gloves; and mama, don’: for-
get to send to Auster’s for that pearl
spray I selected for my hair; and by the
way, just hand that mirror, I’m afraid
I’m looking awfully pale."
“Not now,”,aaid the frightened moth-
er, “you are too weary. Wait till you
have some refreshments; and the pale
beauty sank back on her pillow, crush-
ing a wealth of dark ringlets, and closed
her eyes wearily, in spite of her determi-
.nation to be well.
A ring at the door! (a bright flush
came to her cheek.) “That's Vivian,
mama. Tell him—-tell him—(a sharp
pain through her temples forced her to
pause ;) tell him I'm better and he may
call for me at ten to-marrow night ;—-
and, mama, hand him this ;” and she
drew a little perfumed note from beneath
her pillow, with a rose bud crushed in
its folds.
“Draw aside the curtain, Jeannet!-—
Oh ! we shall have anice evening for
the dance; now hand me my dressing
gown. Mama that medicine is perfect-
ly miraculons——I never felt better.»-
Heaven knows where I should have
been, had you not called in abettercoum
0110! than Dr, Wyman. He would like
sion of the death of a young son whom he _
me for a patient a year, I dare say, but l
knew better than to line his pockets in
that way ;" and she skipped gaily across
the floor to a large fauteuil and called
Jeannet to.a1-range her hair.
isn't quite right yet. There, that will
do,” said Elise, as the skillful French,
woman bound trees alter trees in glossy
braids around her well formed head.—-
Now place that pearl spray a little to
the left. just over my ear,-—pretty is it
not, mama '3”
"Here, Jennnet!” and she extended
the dainty foot for its silken hose and
satin slipper.
_ "Rest awhile now, Elise,” said her
mother, as she looked apprehensively at
;the bright crimson spot. on her cheek,
that grew deeper every moment, and
contrasted so strikingly with the marble
paleuess of her brow. I'm afraid you
,are going beyond your étrenglh.”
"Mama what are you thinking about?
Look at me! and see'how well I look.
Besides, I'd go to this ball to night, if it
cost me my life. Mabel has triumphed
over me once; Qhe shall not do it a sec-
ond time. Besides there is really no
danger; I feel wild with spirits to night
and anticipate a most ‘brilliant evening ;’
and she clasped the pearl pendants in her
_,amall ears, and the light, fleecy dress
”fell in soft folds about her graceful person
and upon her fair arm placed his gift,
-and taking in her hand the rich boquet,
‘every flower of which whispered hopes
to her ' young heart, she held up her
‘check with a bewitching smile, and
said’-
"No\v,kiss me, mama, and say that
you are proud of Elise.” ‘
And now Jeannet, with officious care
draws the rich opera cloak about her
shoulders, and with a thousand charges
from mama "to beware of the droughts,
partake sparingly, of ices, and not weary
herself with dancing,” the carriage
wheels roll away from the door freighted
with their love-1}’ thurden.
"Elise de Vaux here!” said a tall,
queenly girl, attired in black velvet ;—--
and she curled her pretty lip With ill.
concealed vexation. "I thought her dy.
ing, or near it;” and as Elise glided
gracefully past in the dance, every eye
following her, and every tongue eloquent
m her praise, Mabel’s cheek paled with
anger.
"How radiant she is! how dazzling!
Sickness has but enhanced her beauty,
and how proudly Vivian bears her thro’
the waltz! Every step they take is on
my heart strings! This must not, shall
not be! Courage, coward heart!” and
mastering her feeelings with a strong
exercise of will soon brought the toe :6
1191' cheek. her aye grew wildly brilliant,
and, had not Vivian been magnetized
past recall, his eye would have- been
caught by the dazzling vision.
All eyes were fixed upon the rival
belles, and amid the voluptuous swell of
music, the flashing of lights, the over-
powering sweetuess of myriad fiowers,
and the rapid whirling motion of the
dance every brain and heart-were dizzy
with excitement,
"Heavens !,that is not Elise de Vaux,’
said a nephew of‘Dr. VVyman’s. “Wlmt
mad folly! My uncle told me if she
came it would be at the price of her life.
How surpassingly beautiful she is!”._.
Still on—and on they whirled! The
dancers! lill the stars grew pale, and
the sweet flowers drooped in the ‘heated
atmosphere.
“No sleep till morn, when youth and pleasure
meet,
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.”
"What unearthly beauty! said the old
gentleman to a young man, upon whose
arm he was leaning, as Elise glided past.
Who is she?"
“Elise dc Veaux,” said the young
man, mechanically, his eyes rivited to
her figure. ‘
“Do you know what you are a saying ?’
said he, tapping him gently on the arm.
“Yes, Elise de Veaux ”
" Well, why do you look at her so wild-
ly’! Has Cupid aimed a dart at you out
of those lovely blue eyes ?"
“Good God!” said the young man,
leaping ‘forward as a piercing shriek
came upon the air. "Make room! help
throw up the windows !” and Elise was
borne past, gasping, senseless, to the
cool night air. _ Q,
Aye, Vivian! kneel at her side, chafe
the little jewelled hands, put back the
soft hair from the azure veined temples,
press the pulseless wrist, listen for the
beating heal-t——in vain !—-Elise is dead !
And in the Arms of him for whom she
had thrown away her young life, she
was borne to her home. The diamond
sparkled mockingly on the clay cold fin-
gers, the pearls still lingering amid her
soft ringlets, the round, symmetrical
limbs still fair in their beautiful propor-
tions. The laeart she coveted was gai-
ned—Lhe dear bought victory won.

Confused _ Pol2'teness.——Just before
the passage of the Maine Law in a
neighboring State, says a correspondent
of a contemporary, I came out of a little
establishmens in N , of a dark and
rainy evening, behind a very drunken
fellow, who "beat up” the sidewalk a
couple of rods in advance. Presently
he “missed stays” on the "starboard
tack," and ran into a tree. He pulled
' off what was tfiginally intended for a
hat, “teetered” a moment on his toes,
and apologized to the jostled individual,
with a ‘hiccup between every other
word : \
“Shuze me, shit! I ’shure you shir,
'tirely ’tentional on my part. Sho dark,
shir, I didn’t shee you. ’Shuze me——
shir-—’shuze me, if you please."
After which obsequious explanation,
and an abortive effort to put on his hat,
he essayed to continue on his way, but
brought up again on the firs: lurch
against the some free :
"I really beg your pardon, shit‘. I’m
'fraid you’ll ’spect that I’m ’tossicat.ed;
but I ’shure you, shir, I never was more

AWE!’ From Home. l
We cut the following from the Ban-
net of the Union, an excellent paper
published at Philadelphia :
Having been confined at home for the
last six weeks by a pressure of business,
we determined to "cut loose our craft,”
and pay a visit to Gotham. We accor- 1
dingly, accompanied by out ‘better half,’
on -Tuesday, the l2I.h inst., stepped on
board ofa car of the Camden and Am-
boy R. R. Co., and in a few hours was
lauded iuthe Sodom of America.
Our irip on board of the cars and the
boat was pleasant; The excellent ac-
commodations aflorded by this company
the regularity with which they perform
their trips, and the gemlemaniy bearing
of those employed by the company, is
worthy of commendation.
On arriving in New York, the mud,
ankle deep, gave us assurance that we
had not gone astray, and convinced us
that it would be useless to attempt to
reach a lodging on foot, While the con-
tinued yells of“carriage,sir, Astor House
Metropolitan, Irving house, American,
&:'c., rang in our ears from stentorian
lungs; we stepped into a mud scow on
four wheels, called in Gotham a hack,
and after devious indings, we were fl-
nally set down at t e Astor house, where
we were comfortably provided for, by
the gentlemanly proprietors.
Next day we set out on an exploring
expedition, and, passing down Broadway
the firs: object that attracted our atten-
tion, was a mock auction shop; we hal-
ted and listened Going——golng, gone!
We entered and took a survey; in the
back part of the shop, was a certain of
of uncertain color and doubtful cleanli-
ness; upon the shelves were violins and
other musical instruments and various ,
trinkets; and hanging up back of the;
counter, several watches were arranged; '
some fine jewelled levers, and some not
exactly gold, although they Wore yellow
countenances. In front of the counter
was a. motley; a "Peter Funk” was ex-
amining a repeater, and admiring the ex-
quisite workmanship, and had not the
least doubtthat it was seventy-five “car-
rots,” fine, and was very sorry that it
was to be sold that day as he was out of
money ; but if the sale could be postpo-
ned till to morrow, he could sell a “two-
thirty horse,” that had been made a pres-
ent to him by his late uncle; year by
stood a green one from the country,who
had come to town to see the sights, and ‘
was then in a fair way to see the “ele-
phant.” A little farther off were sever-
al others, who were also from the coun-
try, but it was evident that if they had
never been in that city of abominations,
they had at least heard of this disgrace-
ful feature of its civilization and morali-
ty. Ona box behind the counter, stood
thing, possessed of limbs and head, and
which, xvithout scrutiny, might have
passed for a human being. But although
there were all the outward appearances

and offers to take it off his hands at an
advance of fffty dollars, if he will call at
his father’s store the next day, and as an
earnest of his sincerity, will pay five dol-
lars down. This secures the green one,
and he bids one hundred and sixty dol-

As they are about to pass behind the

been silently looking on, give the bidder

BY H. c. F.
As it is an inherent trait in human na-
ture to love excitement of some kind,
and as society is at present constituted
old fashioned employments and occupa-
tions in Bunkumtown become stale and
monotonous, and amusements scarce
and costly, Ipropose to relieve the tedi-
um, (appropriate 9. portionof the sur-
plus currency,) and benefit. the commu-
nity generally, and Bunknmtown in par-
ticular, by getting up an Extra Grand,
Anti-Gambling, Moral, Hoe-Axe, Hum--
lotterybug Scheme, peculiarly lofty and
high toned in its character, as there is
not the slightest trace of gambling in
its nature, as every ticket draws a. prize
and the smallest prize is worth at least
the price of the tickets, which are only
One Dollar! Whoever draws either of
the first Four Grand Prizes, -can in the
sublime language of the poet,

the lucky recipients of',these splendid,
gorgeous, and magnificent prizes. They
will become suddenly enriched, which
will render honest labor with head or

of their lives, and they can swing on a

The Picture Gallery.
Let us turn this morning to a gayer
theme, here is a spirited sketch by an
amateur artist, which is irrestibly comic
it would win a smile from the gloomiest.
misahthrope. The scene is the interior
of a country mansion, in the sitting
ro0m——that paradise between the pa:-‘Jr
and the kitchen—-the locality 9' ways
Quggested to our minds at the mention
of home. Opposite to the open fireplace
is a settec—a name given in a country
parlance, to a. seat about the length of a
sofa, which has the intense rigidity of
half a dozen kitchen chairs grown to-
gether laterally, covered in this case,
with a comfortable upholstery of furni-
lure calico. Upon this seat, in a half
reclining posture, is a young man with
every appearance of robust health, savi-
in the pallid hue of his features, into
which the current of blood seems just
returning. From his forehead there is
trickdng adown one check a dark unc-
tuous liquid, while his eyes are fastened
with an inquiring gaze upon a young
lady. who seems just recovering from
the not of bending over him. An open
bottle in her hand elucidmes the mystery
of the fluid, but the expression of her
countenance ls indescribable, and can
only be explained by a narration of the
circumstances which led to the scene.
Julia ,VVatson, the herome -of this
scene, was not only in beautiful girl with
dark brown hair that would curl In
spite of comb and brush, bright flashing
eyes that had concealed in their depths
:1 world of mischief, and plump cherry
lips which seemed made for temptation,
but, she was the only child ofa wealthy
farmer, a combination of charms which
is semom found, even in the country.
Strange to say of one in her situation-
it is so different from our usual observa-
tion-—-she was neither haughty nor co-
quettish ; she wore no shield of. cold
disdain to repel approach, nor did she
invite the attentions of suitors, only to
triumph in their rejection. She was
fond of fun and fioiic, fun of such inno-
cent mischiefs as are merely provocative
of good-humored gaiety, but she never
trifled with honest affection. Her un-
successful admirers with a single excep
tion, were ever warmest in her praise,
a tribute to her character worth vol-
umes of panegyric. The exception was
a dandyish fortune hunter, who was
willing to take the charming girl 35 3“

There lived in the r:eighb9rh00d,
young farmer. whose parents were both
dead, and who kept open the paternal
mansion, through the assistance of an
antiquated colored domestic, an hei_r_- ’
loom in the family. After receiving in
his boyhood all the polish which could,
be bestowed upon rising genius in the
village school, he had gone t-,).etudy_ "nut".

William Fartington had reached his
twenty-fifill year, and wasatill unmar-
ried. Many -an aspiring damsel had.-
to be caught, and at last Dy common
consent of all the gossips of the» place,
he had been elected as a suitable bride-
groom for our heroine. Had his-kind‘
fri«.-nds who thus voted him- a bride,
known how ardently he loved the object
of their choice, they would have Wop-
dered still more at his prolonged bache-
lorship. The truth was, William could '
not summon su ient courage to do-
clarc his love. lthough he had no '
skill in the polished small-talk of mod-*
ern drawing-rooms, he could still appear
in society to very good advantage, save-
when incompanv with the girl he loved. ‘
Then his presence of mind always for-
souk him; his strikingly handsome fig-
urc, became by his carriage rude and
clumsy; his two hands seemed vonetoo
mny, and his tongue lost the power of
utterance. .
‘ Julia was not insensible to the attach
mam she had inspired, nor of the diffi-
dence which stood in the way of its dec-
i[':l‘d[l0l'l. Through all the granite, she
had the good sense to discover the heart
of gold; but a certain mnidenly modes-
ty prevented her from _ making any ad-
vances to'rem0ve' the dnt'rh‘.:1lry. Besides ~
there was plenty of lime, and she had
full faith in her father’s of: quoted max,
im, " Wherever there's a will, there-'0 I
way.” ' ,_ ' . ‘-
William on his part, made man}: des-
perate resolves but they all failed upon
trial. He had essayed Writing, but he
could not trust the secret of his ‘heart
wen to the paper, and never got be-
yond : few broken sentences. Often af-
ter the labors of the day were over, had
be gone to her dwelling to seek an in-
:erview, but his courage always failed
him at the last moment, and e would
hastily retrace his steps, or if iszovered
by the family, feign some other erran.d.
At length he resolved to test his cour-
age by daylight, and accordingly to-
wards the close of a fine afternoon he
found himself before the door. Ila lif-
ted the knocker, and let it fall lightly
against the brazen ball.‘ It was: mod-
est appeal for admission, but to him in
. his nervous excitement, the report see-
med louder than the stroke of a church"
bell, and he would fairly have run away
had he not heard approaching footsteps.
.."_j‘|ia herself came to admit him,‘ and
the slight flush upon he; check as shot
encountered the unexpected visitor, ren-
dered her doubly charming to his'eye§.
“Good afternoon, Mr. Farringtori,"
raid she, in the usual style of New En-
gland greeting for this hour of the day.
“will you walk in T” 1
"Very well, I thank you,” he replied,
in answer to an imaginary question, (for
in his confusion he had not understood I
word she had uttered.) and followed her
into the house.
He took his seat upon the sauce,
where he is placed in the picture, and
attempted some preliminary conv,€1'53'
tion, but the words clung to his heat‘
like a hook in the moutn of a fish. 8115
he delivered them gaspingly. _
"Miss Jnl——hem—-—MiSS W8fiI0n—

He knew this was an inglorious con-
clusion for such a spasmodic ‘effort, but
he seized upon as a drowning‘ mln
would catch ata straw.
“Yes, father‘is about home, shall I
call bun ?” she replied, half rising from
her seat.
"No!” he said with startling energy
——-then frightened at his impetuosity ad-
ded : “that is—I would--hope he is
well!” I
It was evident he was not "getting
an” and here he came to a dead ' halt.
She saw that he had some communica-
tion of importance to make, and her
heart whispered the secret in advance,
instead lh refore of coming to his relief
by turning the conversation into a smoo-
ther channel, she left. him to flounder on
