For the Gazette.
On the deatlaol’ Mrs. Susan Abbott.
A lovely form is lowly laid,— ' -

A gentle: spirit lost to eurth,— V

A soul immortal winged its way,
To that bright landthat gave it birth.

Oh, Death l relentless foe. of man!
Could’st thou no fitter victim. find!

Is’t not enough, life’: little span,
To three-score years and ten confined? ~

But thou must still forestall his doom,
And bring such Hydra’s to thy aid;

Thy reckless path that: mark’st with gloom,
Though Christ himself the ransom paid!

And dire Consumption claimed its own.
The pallid cheek—the altered brow-

They told that life, and’ life alone,’
Could satisfy its cravings now.

She felt, she knew the fatal sign,
_Prepared to mect.it ere it came;

The District School--A Portrait.
Here’s our ‘old! school house 2 _ where, with
“ ahiping face,” '

We first began fair learning’: mighty race ;
Mastered the mysteries of our A B C’s,

And spread her sails in wisdom’s freshening
breeze;

Traced cabaiistic problems on the board,

And o’er our slates, whole lines of figures
poured; ‘
Mingled with pictures of the master’s face,
Portraits not flatter’d by the artist’s grace-~
Not drawn from memory‘, but all fresh and fair,
Just as he sat enthroned upon hischair,

Stood forth these sketches of this man profound.
Whose fame extended many miles around ;

No faint impressions were we known to traoe,
But gave each frown itsjust',and prcper place ;
No Rubens taught us in that magic art-

We had his very mein and form by heart,

-For his impressions, made by rod andcane,
Were well daguerrcotyped on every brain.
The District School--Staying at
Noon.

Some stay at noon—a mother’s tender care
Oft filled our baskets with the daintlest fare ;
The mammoth doughnut, and the apple pie.
Appealed at once to every hungry eye ; I
Crackers and cheese, with apples red and round,
A ready market at these noonings found;
The game of tag, in which the girls took part,
The merry laughter, spriqging from the heart,
The o’erturned benches, spreading ruin there,
The upset inkstand, and the broken chair,
And all the mischief school-boys" ever do,

Is bravely done, from twelve o’clock till two;
Then comes the master,—aud the noiseless
, chains

Of thought, and study, bind our burning-brains.

Dear scenes of youth! our busy memory, true
To nature's promptings, brings them all to
_view, '

And we would linger with the sacred past,
“That was too bright, too beautifuito last,"
Recall again each vision long since fled.

Each ‘happy day that with our childhood sped,
Each scene of life—each well remembered scene
Kept by the fountains of our memory green.-
Shail live. and bloom, and gladden all the way
That leads triumphant to a brighter day.

THE ORPHAN.
“The, birth of a child, is the imprisonment of
asoul.” _ . ,

It was a lovely boy—born in thubleak
and barren months of winter, when the
earth was clothed in its garment of
white, and the branches of the old forest
trees, the. hemlocka, the cedars and the
pines, bowed heavy headed to the earth.
loaded down with a cumbrous weight of
frozen rain.

It was _a low roofed cottage in the
country—-homely, the panes of lass old
fashioned seven by nine, wit frames
weather beaten and brown, over which
hurig the pent eaves, dripping with icic-
les. Huge piles of wood stood but a few.
yards from the house, at the end of which
a flock of sheep were browsing, nipping
the tender buds from the tips of the
white maple branches, or eating the bark
from the trunks. The old barn stood
near at hand, crippled and decayed, but
well stocked with hay and grain; while
ranged in stalls, stood about twenty head
of cattle, the chief place being assigned
to a noble pair of oxen, brindled, and
star foreheadb. Next to these were stau-
cheoned a fine yoke of three year old
steers, then. came the cows, inatronly
and mild-eyed, with the ‘heifers and
younglings bringing up the line. As
you stood in front looking at their meek
faces, what perfume came from their
breath, what delicious odor pervaded the
place, sweeter than new milk or fresh
trodden clover. In a stall opposite stood
the horse, the faithful servant of the fam-
ily for years, but now getting old and
weary, and, withal, possesing a seeming
consciousness that his labors were al-
most at an end. Food he took sparingly
and mashes had to be carefully prepared
for him. He had been the family horse
for seventeen years. He hnddrawn
them to meeting every Sabbath for un
numbered seasons; he -had been with
them to many a holiday festival, and pa-

 

I raded his master, on "training day,” over

the mimic field of battle. and no war
horse ever felt prouder, or p’ranced more
gaily to the notes of the bugle; he had
done many a good day's work upon the
farm, and load after load of produce had

be taken to market, bringing home in re-
turn, sucii necessary articles as the farm

1

would not produce. .But his day was
now well nigh spent; the sun was now
_settl‘_ng upon his long. t,eriii.of-'nervi,¢=9. and
as the veteran nibbled among his food,
he sighed heavily with occasional faint

groans.
I-at not the reader smile. I Then are

i

of his approach, many, many days before
the last breath is drawn. The horse and
the dog will serve for instance. They
seem to feel the approach of the grim ty-
rant—to understand his presence in the
death of companions-'—to be sensible that
such is to bathe inevitable fate of them-
selves. Thus felt poor old Jupiter in
his stall.

The night was drawing on apace.——
The fowls had gone to their roost, and

stalls; they had been fed for the last time.
Twilight brooded over the scene, and
lights began to giisten through the win.
(lows of the cottage, and the shadows up-
on the walls of the old wainscotted kit-
chen, moving to and fro, indicated the
preparations that were going on inside
for the farmer’s homely meal. Let us

may be, and study the‘ scene that there
may be presented. Seated nearly in front
of tiielarge old fashioned fireplace, sat
thepatrisrch of the’househoid—'a stal-
wart, stron iy built man, of threescore
and ;ten. I-fie hair was scarcely tinged
with gray, while‘ his teeth, that glimme-
red occasionally in the firelight, and his
lips were ever and anon parted to give
expre‘ssi‘on to a thought or passion, that
flirted like clone or sunshine over stern
but classic features, were white and reg-
ular, almost“ as in youth. Pots and ket-
tleswerc suspended by books and tram-
mels that hung upon barsplaced high
up in thechimney; while before the fire
were baking ‘two or three cakes, one of
which was made of Indian meal, flank-
ed on each side by "short cakes," made
of the whites: and sweetest of flour.-—
Withiu an iron baker, or shallow kettle,
with live coals heapeed well upon the
cover, were baking and browning a score
or so of the most delicious potatoes,-
In the centre of the floor stood the table
spread with its white ‘linen cloth, set
with dishes and brightly polished knives
huge platters, and the family ‘silver-
what there was of it—-and all the requi-
site paraphernalia of a farmer’s supper
table. Busiiy attending to the prepara-
tions, ranged about the room the matron
in homespun dressed, while two young

side table, busily employed with their
needle-work. The wood was piled up
bravely upon the hearth dogs, and its
bright and cheerful blaze cast grotesque
figures upon the walls and ceilings from
objects along ‘ the room. But we have
not yet finished the picture.

In one corner of the fire-place, seated
upon a low stool, was a blue eyed, flax-
en haired boy of about five years of age.
His features had something soft and win-
ning in-their expression, and regular
withal, and chiseled as finely and as clas-
sically as ever form sprang from the vir-
gin marble at theinsplration of the poet.
His lips were scarce parted, while his
eyes, arched by faintly penciled brows,
were fixed upon the fire-, as though in
deep thought, or making pictures in the
glowingcoals. His hands were clasped
upon his knees, and his whole attitude
seemed one of intense thought or calm
repose. The only perceptible motion
about him, was at times when his thin
and transpareiit nostril slightly expiintled
or contracted, or the pupil of his eye, di-
Iated, as it were with a thought of won-
der. It was a beautiful study for an ar-
tist,-that figure andattitude, all so har-
monized and beautiful. One could
scarcely believe but that an angel dwelt
within, so sinless and harmless seemed
that living creature-—sn pure and unear-
thly that shnpe of human mould.

The supper is reiidy; the family is
seated at the table; but where is Willie l
Unperceived, and silently as creeps a
shadow iacro-s a lawn, had be left the
room. But Willie must have his supper
and so they call him about the house, and
out at the door, butvatili no answer from
Willie; and so they search. Out by the
woodpile and in the shed; at the kennel
of the dog, and where the chickens roost
but still no Willie.

"Perhaps he has gone clut to the barn,”
says one of the young women. "You
know that Jupiter is not well of late,
and he and Willie are great friends ;—-
and Willis is much worried about him.”

The lantern was lighted, and the mas-
ter of the house, accompanied by his two
daughters, wended their way to the barn
By this time the stars were shining, piid
the cold beams of the moon glittered over
the snow clad plains, and through the
branches of the old apple orchard. As
they approached the barn, their ears are
saluted with groans and lamentation, and
entering, and holding the lantern over
into the stall of Jupiter, they beheld the
faithful beast, flat upon his side, in the
last throes of death, and little Willie up-
on his knees beside him, with his arms
around his neck, sobbing most pitiously.

"Oh, don’t. die, J upe, dear,” said the
child “don't dle,Jupe, dear! What-will
poor Willie do if you go away and leave
him '1’ I shall die,too, if you go and leave
me. Oh, don’t, don't die.”

And the poor dumb beast partly raised
his head, and gazed affectionately and in-
teiiigently into the face of the child, as
though he would communicate his move
and tell him all it suffered and felt; and
bid him farewell forever. And then
came such a pious moan from his deep
chest, and his flesh quivered in agony.
and beads of froth began to gather round
his mouth, and the sweat to reek from
his sides. it was a sad and piteous sight
enough to touch the stoutest heart; and
yet poor Willie hung around his favorite’s
neck, and mourned for him, and wept as
though his little heart would break. In
vain was all remonstrance; the child
would not be quieted, but still persisted
in his iamentation, using the fondest
terms qf endearment, and pleading with
all the eloquence of-childhood. But the
struggle was.-brief; a few short convul-
r-ive twitches-—a low moan or two, a
brightened gleaming of the eye, one look
of agonizing appeal, as though beseech-
ing for ielief, in his dire extremity, and
Jupiter, for many years the tried and
faithful servant, ceased to breath, and
night and death spread over his eye that
dark, impenetrable veil, that never thro’
all future time-,shail again be lifted’!-—
Thus fearful is the gloomy kinz. even in
his approach to animals. Pooi-- Willie,
he believed his first and only friend had
gone from him, and it seemed as though
there would be no end to his sorrow.-

the cattle began to lie down in their;

peep into the window,s, however rude it_

ladies, her daughters, were sitting at a’

body of Jupiter, and burst forth into pas-
sionate exclamations; nor forsome time
could all aigument or coaxing induce
him to come out of the stall, leave his
dead friend, and go into the house; and
when he did so, it was still in tears, still
talking and murmuring to himself. And
thus last he is appetite for supper, and
he was put to bed unappeased, and still
in tears, and it was long after midnight
ere the poor child had got to sleep.
wherein, amid his sobs, he still dreamed
of Jupiier,or‘ enacted over again the
scene of. his death. _

Willie was an orphan. Never knew
he father he father nor mother. Both
died_soon after he was born, and: some
distant relatives, those whom we now see
him with had taken him to bring up.”

He scarce knew the name of mother,
only as he heard from other children as
he went forth to play with them ; and
often on Spring nights, when the frogs
were singing in the neighboring brooks
and swamps, would he lie awake and cry
and when questioned as to the cause,
ashamed to confess a weakness which he
himself understood not, he would ascribe
it to a headache, fortunate, indeed, if it
were not the cause of his being dosed
with medicine. -Anti on long summer
days it was his chief delight to roam
over the fields alone, gathering wild
flowers; or sitting in the tall grass, be-
neath the overshadow branches of trees,
he would listen to the warbiing of birds,
or watch the white, fleecy azure of the
sky, picturing them as chariots in which
he longed to be riding. , But his favor-
ite haunts were in the depths of the for-
est, which he would penetrate, solitary
and alone, to its gloomiest recesses, and
sitting down upon a mass grown log, or
half decayed stump, he would listen to
the strange and mystic music that came
to him from every forest aisle and tree
trop. There was within him an instinc-
tive sympathy for the surrounding soli-
tude; it. possessed an awe like that
which the cloister inspires in a devotee.
Trees to him were mysteries, and the
stones, and the mass which covered them
and the little ponds, with grass still green
in their bottom; and the trickling brook
and the smooth pebbles within, and the
eiittie insects that skated briskly over its
surface, and those ofevery size, that swam
in darker and deeper places, or crawled
along on the bottom, or along the sedgy
margin; and the birds that flew over
his head, or lit near him, from the hoarse
throated crow, to the diminutivechlrrup
of the sparrow. All these and every-
thing about hlm, were as full -«of myste-
ry as the evening skies are full of stars;

be thy name !" He had never felt her
warm breath upon his cheek, nor hei-
soft kisses upon his brow, Yet in his Ori-
sons, when he had Iaidiiis head upon his
lonely pillow, and the pale mellow moon
came streaming through the Window Of
his room, throwing a halo around the
apartment and a radiance over his hum-
ble cot, illuminating his pure and -"placid
features, he would breath a prayer Of
trust and love, in which was blended his
inether’s name, with a plaintive suppli-
cation that she would come down to him
from the blessed realms above, to which
he knew she had ascended.

This, dear reader, is no faint picture
of the imagination. We have seen that
boy, in his solitary wanderings through
the forest, sitting by the bubbling springs
or musing by puriing brooks, or sleeping
in the sweet and fragrant grass, beneath
the oiitspreadiug branches of the trees.
We knew him wiien he had no mother
to watch over him, and guide him with
her counsels. We knew him to be cra-
died by those who were unconscious that
the rose had fragrance, and Whose pas-
sions were as wild as the sea-scud that
flies over some stormy strait of ocean ;—
and thus was he’ tutored in a rude and
hard school, without the solace of a ten-
der tone, such as might throwaradiance
over the heart in Grief’s most dreary
mood, and light with joy a Weary solitude!

What wonder, then, that his young
heart bounded at the glad sound of hap-
py voices, and gushed with love like a
young bird that rejoices in its first wild
flight, or the young kid that gambols
amid the sunshine, and over the flowery
less of Spring time? ~

What wonder that a shadow and a
gloom was cast over his young heart,

‘when, midst the echoes that flew past
him in the forest or in the meadow, the
name of Mother made him start—chiiied
as it were, like a wanderer in a northern
blast!

What wonder, when he strayed thro’
pleasant pathways, amid a gay throng of
playmates, he begged them to tell him
stories about their mothers, and their love
and the biest and pure affections that
swell their bosoms !

What wonder ! And when he learn-
ed from them the story of a mother’s
tender care, and the deep love she cher-
ished for her children, he would raise to
heaven his tearful eyes, as though to seek
his mother where the purple tint of twi-
light fades, and the last rays of sunset
deepen into night.

“Oh!” he would excialm, “ye are all
such happy lads! Ye all have mothers;

and manya setting -sun found him still
lingering in the forest, far away from
home in a blessed dream of childhood,
the sentiment of which was too profound
for expression. Nor even did winter’s
snow deter him. Summer or winter,
most pleasant days were sure to find him
amid the scenes so dearly famiiiarto him
nor even seemed be cold, nor feeble, nor
tired of roaming. ' Satiety grew not up-
on him ; for day after day, and month af-
ter monih, he visited the same haunts
with the same freshness of feeling. But
he had a sorrow--above all things he had
one sorrow that never left him night or
day—-he had no mother !

He had no mother. Poor Willie.--

1-low siiould he know of a parent he
had never seen. Why should he mourn
for what he had never possessed '! But
he had companions, and he knew that
they had mothers who loved them and
who cared for them; but alas! he was
an orphan in the world, without either
parent, and cast among strange kindred,
who strove but little to understand the
feelings of the child, and wiio oft times
chided him for his strange fancies, and
many a time, when for the love of rock
or tree he wandered away from home,
hard words and blows were sure to meet
him on his return, yet still undaunted
and unchecked, his passion thrived.

He had often made enquiries for his
mother, and they told him‘ she was in
I-leaveif. “Ah,” he would exclaim, “I
wish I knew the way; I would go there
in search of her, even though the road
was choked with stones and briars."

And when out at times with his play-
mates amid the fields, he would ques-
tion them of their mothers and ask them if
they were kind to them and if they ever
expected to lose them as he had lost his.

Oh, it is a hard thing for a young child
beleft of his mother, to be taught the
rude, harsh lessons of the world, and the
wild bad passions of unbridled thought
in place of prayers! And no one need
doubt that a mother’s eyes, windering,
from the pure regions of the biest, beam
like stars in the midnight skies, placid
and calm, on those they love ; and, if it
were possible, would warn them from
the path of danger and of error; for the
heart of a child is so tender and full of
trust, and so full, also, of fear, that the
simplest griefwill wring its c|iord's, and
the simplest word as quickly bring 'tbe
sunshine back again—just as a lute will
render music if you but touch e strings.
Therefore, how much caution should be
used in training a child.

It was always a mystery to him why
his mother died while those of his coin-
panions lived. He could not conceive
why she went away, as he had been told
locked in the icy house of death.

"I don’t know,” said he one day to a
few of his companions who were sitting
around him, "I don’t what it is to die ;-
nor can I see what it is that we. who
can laugh out so merrily. should not live
always under this blue sky.”

And then it was an equal mystery to
all the children about, and none could
explain why it should be so. ,

"But I shallsee my mother,” he would
say. "I know the way to heaven. I
have seen its gates at sunset, gleaming
with gold and purple. And I have seen
angels standing there, dressed in daz-
zling robes; and certainly it must be
the way to heaven. it looks so very.beau-
iiful. And some day, when I have been
whipped for nothing and treated unkind-
|y—for I am not a slave-—-I will take
Tray and start for the hills away yonder
where the sun sets, and travel 0I1W3Td
from there until I reach ‘heaven. and
there 1 know we shall be hapPY f°*'°‘7°’-"

Alas, for so sweet 11 looy! He'h8d
never known the beauty and the holiness
of a mother's love. lie had never known

: she was so beautiful!"

but I only have mine in dreams,and then
I see a face so fair and beautiful, binding
above my pillow; or, at times, visit
that lonely place, beneath the weeping
willow, where she sleeps sweet and si-
lent, and sometimes seek to trace her
name on the cold white marble at her
head. But why sherdied, to me is all
so wonderful and strange—and they say.

Tiius often made he a sad mournfui
plaint, when he found kindred hearts
around him ; and it was a strange sight
to see, this bright—haired boy so early
tinged with his doleful music. It was
like the story of a'soul imprisoned, to the
chains that bound it; or like: the mur-
mur of the sea siieil to the waves that
roll !

He had often said, as we have stated,
that he meant, on some pleasant after-
noon, to start on a journey after his moth-
er. He believed she was in heaven. he
had heard so; and when lie was asked the
direction to heaven, he always told, with
hands pointed to the sky, that there lay
the happy land, the golden country, there
the pleasant hills and happy valleys, and
when his eyes scanned the space that
lay between him and the may hues of
even, the distance seemed but short, and

,,the way but easy of travel, to gain the
‘portals of that promised land of ever bliss-
fulolor .

End :0, one afternoon, late in the au-
tumn time, after having been chastised
and chided for his dreauiiness and wan-
dering, he bade farewell to a few of his
companions, and with a little siaffin hand,
and in company with his little dog Tray,
he started for the hill tops far away dis-
tant, over which was shining the golden
lgfit ofan afternoon’s sun. His compan-
ions smiled at the conceit, but concealed
their laughter, for they loved the ciiild,
they only thought he would go but a little
way. and return again as usual. And so
they watched hlrn with lingering eyes,
till he went over the crest of a little hill
and disappeared from their vision; then
each one sought his home, thoughful and
silent, wondering if Willie really was on
his way to heaven, and if it was so blast
and happy at land as he often told. them
They were too wonder-stricken to tell
their parents what VV‘il|ie had done, and
each that night went to his bed a dream-
less, sleepless child.

Yes: Willie was on his wayito heav-
en. Wiih a manfui, brave heart, he
travelled on, through pleasant meadows
and skirting forests, and as the last rays
of the sun fell upon the landscape, he
stood upon a mountain top, and saw
the sun go out of sight away in the far,
far distance, over rich valleys, and som-
bre woodlands and tears filled his faves
when he saw he was farther away will
the goal of his hopes than when he star-
red from the cottage of his kindred. So
he sat him down and wept and °“"ed
upon his mother, and little Tray looked
up in his face with tvoiiderirxél _"Ye5- am‘
kissed him, and whined, and mtie Wil-
lie threw his arms around the d°8 3 “°‘_’!"-
and wept abundant tears. and made him

sobbed himselfio sleep, while poor, poor,

Ali! what dreams possessed that poor
boy's brain that long and solitary night.
How many times came his rnotlier down
from her bliesful home, to cheer ‘him in
his lonely slumbers! And the twinkling
stars, and the round full moon, cast their
soft and placid beamsvover the landscape
and shed as it were, a transient warm-
ness over the spot whereon slept the un-
conscious Willie, guarded by his faithful
Tray. ..
