. From the Democratic Press.
The Old Stage Coach.
The good old times when our fathers rode
In safety by the stage. _ I .
Have passed before the onward march
Of this progressive age ;
And now, no goodly coach-and-four
I Rolls down before the stage-house door.

How rang the laugh, the jest, and joke,
As all together rode,
Coached up in friendly jollity,
Like boys of one abode; _ _
The weary miles-rseemed shorter then,
3. As thus we rode o’er hill and glen.

N igh half‘ the pleasure of.the way

Were appetite and fare; _ -
This, gathered from ‘ "mine host’s’ full board,

’ That, frbm the mountain air. "I

Oh! then we went Life’s flowery ways,
They ended with our staging days.

How proudly down the village street
Through noise and dust it goes!

The boys“ about” cried “ Cut behind”
The driver, “ Here; she goes I” _

The gallant landlord tookhis stand,‘

To press th’ alightiug traveler’s hand.

Oh 1- that was music !—when at morn,
As winding round by you old "mill,
The driver blew his long stage horn,
And echo answered from the hill ;
No echoing horn, nor prancing team’,
Is heard amid this “ age of steam.” .

But down beneath some shattered shed,
The old stage coach neglected stands,
Its curtains flapping in. the wind,
The ghost of Ruin’s wavering hands;
While’ on-the wheels the gathering "rust -
Proclaims the fatal “ dust to dust.’.’

White in the fields their scattered bones,
Or on the common turned to die, ‘ .
Their " trips” all o’er, the routes all run,
The wheelers and the leaders lie,
The driver’s pride and glory gone, ' ,
And he " likeionc who stands alone.”

Gathering Flowers, Mother.
BY H. B. WILDMAN.

Oh !'I’vc been gathering flowers, Mother,
For J iilia’s grave to-day ;

Oh I I’ve been wandering down the glen
Where once we used to play;

And there, beside the grape-vine swing,
Where mountain flocks repose,

I found this dear soft silken band,
Twined round a lonely rose.

0 Mother I ’tis the braid of hair

Dear little Julia used to wear!

And farther down the vale, Mother,

Where morning zephyrs rise,
I found, this dear, dear little book,

These ribbons, and these toys; , _-__
‘ And there I found thisllittle doll,

Within our play-house shed ;
Its little hood and silken shawl

Lay on a violet bed.
Within the book, dear Mother, see,
Here are the words, “ Remember me.”

Now I have plucked the rose. Mother,
The silken band to save,

And gathered all the summer flowers
For little Julia’s grave.

I’ve plucked the daisy from its mold,
The lily from its lair ;

For such were all the ‘gems, Mother, ..
Dear sister used to wear ;

Now. gently, ’mid the sweet perfume,

I’m going with them to her tomb.

The Welcome Back.
‘ Br ELIZA coon. '

Sweet is the hour that brings us home,
Where all will spring to meet us-

Where hands are striving as we come,

To be the first to greet us. _
When the world hath spent its frowns and wrath,
And care been sorely pressing,

’Tis sweet to turn from oiirgoving path,

And find a fireside blessing.

Oh, joyfully dear is the homeware track.

If we are but sure of a welcome back.

What do we wreck on a dreary way,
Though lonely and benighted,~

' If we know there are_lips to chide our stay,

And eyes that will beam love-lighted?
What is the worth of the diamond’s _ray
To the glance that flashes pleasure,
When the words that welcome back betray
We form a heai-t’s chief treasure!

Oh, joyfully dear is the homeward track.
If we are but sure Of I} welcome back.

W - in LOST BOY. A
An Incident of the Ohio Penitentiary-

 

BY THE WARDEN.

 

I had been but a few months iiicharge
of the prison, when my attention was
attracted to, and deep interest felt in
the numerous boys and young men who
were confined therein and permitted to
work in the same shops with old and
hardened convicts. The interest was
increased on every evening, as I saw
them congregated in gangs, marching to
their silent meals, and thence to their
gloomy bed-ropms, which are more like
living sepulchres, with iron shrouds,
than sleeping apartments. These young
men and boys, being generally the shor-
test in height, brought up in the rear of
the companies, as they marched to the
terrible‘ "lock-step" and consequently
more easily attracted attention. To see
many youthfulforms and bright counte-
nances niiiigled with the cold and liar-
deiied scoundrels, whose visages befo-
keiied vice, malice and crime was sicken
ing to the soul. But there was one
among the boys, a lad about seventeen
years of age. who had particularly at-
tracted my ,aIIention;_ not from any-
iliing superior in his cotiiitenance or gen-
eral appearance, but by the look of ut-
ter’ despair, which ,ever sat upon his
brow, and the silent, uncomplainiug
manner in which he submitted to all the
hardships and_ degradations ,of prison
life. He_vvas often _ complained of by
both oflicers and men, "and I I thought
unnecessarily, for light and trivial offen-
ces against the rules of propriety, yet
he seldom had any excuse or apology,
and ,lit:Yv-if tieiiied an charge. He took

somebody whdcsred. for the poor boy,
if-indeed it was him, perhaps amother,
his father, his brothers and slsterswiio
were searching for him- The advertise-
ment was nearly ayear old—-yet I doubt-
ed not, and as soon as the convicts were
locked up, I sent for Arthur Lamb. He
came, ass .m,aI,t,ei-iof course, with the

. same pale, unccniplaining face and hope

less gait, thinking, no doubt, that some-
thing had gone \Vl'O_Ilg, and been laid to
his charge. , - ’

I wnsexamining the Convicts’ Reg-
ister when he came in, and when I look-
ed up, there _he stood, a perfect image of
despair. I.asked him his name. _ He
replied '‘

"Ai-tliur.”,

“Aithiir what ?f_’ said I sternly.
'fArthn'r,-‘—_——-Lamb,” he answered
hesilatingly. j '_ '

"Have you a father or mother living 8'’
His eye brightened, his voice quiv-
cred, as he exclaimed:

“Oh, have you heard from mother?
Is she alive? Is she well?” and tears
which I had never seen him shed before,
ran |ill’e".~3,reat. rain drops down his cheek-
‘As=h‘e' b‘t~‘éame'" calm from suspense, I
told him I had not heard from his par-
ents, but that I had a paper I wished
him to read. He took the advertisement
which I had cut from the paper, and as
he read it he exclaimed,

“That's me! that’s me 3” and again
sobs and tears chokod his utterance.

I assured him that the advertisement
was all I could tell him about his par-
enIs——and that as it requested informa-

tion, I desired to know what I should

write in reply. -The advertisement di-
rected information to be sent to the edi-
tor. of the Christian Chronicle, New
York.

"Oh, do not write,” said he, “it will
break poor moiher’s heart!"
I told him I must. write, and that it
would be a lighter blow to his mother’s
feelings, te know where he was, than
the terrible uncertainty which must
haunt her mind night and day. So he
consented, and taking him to my rooui,

_I drew from him, in substance, the fol-

lowing story.

His fatlierwas a respectable and weal-
thy mechanic, in an interior "town in the
State of New York. At the holding
of the State Agricultural Fair, in his
native town, he got acquainted with two
stranger boys, older than himself, who
persuaded him to run away from home
and go to the West. He foolishly con-
sented, with high hopes of happy times,
new scenes, and great fortune. They
came as far as Cleveland, where they re-
mained several days. One morning the
other two boys came to his room early,
and showed what. they said they had
won at cards during the night. Know-
ing that he was in need of funds to-pay
his board, they pressed him to take some
of it, for means to pay his landlord.-
But before he had disposed of any of it,
they were all three arrested for burgla-
ry, and as a portion of the property was
found in his possession, he too, was tried
convicted and sentenced. He had no
friends, no money, and dated not write
home, so hope sank within him- he re-
signed himself to his fate, never expec-
ting to get. out of prison to see his par-
ents again.

Upon enquiring of the two young
convicts who came with him on the
same charge I learned that what Arthur
had stated was strictly true, and that
his crime was keeping bad company,
leaving his home, and uuknowiiigly re-
ceiving stolen goods. Questioned sepa-
rately, they all told the same story, and
left no doubt in my mind of Arthnr’s in-
nocence. Full of compassion for the
unfortunate little fellow, I sat down and
wrote afull description of Arthur, his
condition and history, as 1 obtained it
from him, painting the horrors of the
place, the hopelessness of his being re-
formed there, even if guilty, and the
probability of his never living out his
sentencc. and describing the process to
be used to gain his pardon. This I sent
accbrdiiig to the directions in the adver-
Iiseineni. But week after week passed,
and no answer came. The boy daily
inquired if 1 had heard from his moth-
er, until at last, “hope deferred seemed
to make his heart sick,” and again he

drooped and piiied. At last a letter
came—sucli a letter! It was from the
Rev. Dr. Bellows of New York. He

had been absent to a distant city, but
the moment he read my letter the good
man respbnded. The father of the poor
boy had become almost insane at his
son’.~'z long and mysterious absence. He
had left his former place of residence,
and moved from city to city, from town
to town, and travelled up and down the
country,-seekiiig the loved and lost.‘ He

had spent the most of a handsome for-

that his crimd was burglary and larceny .

atlas: my-i-heye»-fell upon "an -a“dvértiee-‘-

firsvborn, and would not be comforted.”-
They then lived in a Western city,

or forgetting their boy, or that achange
of sceueinight a-ssuage'tiieirogiief.- He
thanked me for my letter, which he sent
the father, and promised his assistance
to procure the young convict’s pardon. '

.Tliis news I gave to Arthur, he
seemed pained and pleased. Hope and
fear, joy and grief, filled his heart al-
ternately, but from thence his eye‘beam-

hope seemed to dance in-every nerve.
Days passed-4‘and at last "there came
a man to the‘ prison, be rushed frantically
into the oflice,'dferi'iandin_q to see his son.
“ y buy! my boy! Oh let me -see
him.” , . . .
The clerk, who knew ‘nothing of the
matter,‘ calmly asked him for the name
of his son.
"Arthur ”

“No such name on our books; your
son cannot be here.” - ‘
“He ishere! Show him’ to me 3—

you mock me?” A I I .

iron door and the grating sound of its-
hinges, ‘indicated the‘ approacli of Ar-
thur, and I conducted the-excited parent.
into a side parlor. Ithen led his son to‘
his embrace. Such a half shriek and

agonizing groan as the old man gave

when he beheld the altered appearance

of the boy, as he stood clad in me de-

grading siripes, and holding a convict’s

cap inliis hand, I never heard before !

I have seen many similar scenes since,

and become inured to them, but this

one seemed as if it would burst my

brain. -

I drew up and signed a , petition for‘
the pardon of the young convict; and
such a deep and favorable impression
did the perusal of the letter I wrote in
answer to the advertisement, make upon
the directors, that they readily joined in
the petition, though it was a long time
before McLean consented. He was
exceedingly caiitious and prudent, but
the old man clung to him——foll‘owed him
froiu his officeto his country residence
and Ill!-.‘|‘6‘lll the presence of his family
plead anew his cause. .AI_ le,iigtli, ex-
cited b'y'thé"c’arnest a‘ppe'ai of the fairliér,
the director looked over the papers again
—his wife becoming interested, picked
up the answer to the advertisement,
read it, and then tears came to the res-
cue. Mac said, rather harshly, that
the warden would let all those young
rascals out if he could. Those who
know Gov. VVood, will not wonder that
he was easily prevailed upon in such a
case and the pardon was granted.

Need I describe the old man’s joy-—
how he laughed and wept, walked and
ran, all impatient to see his son free.--
Wlien the lad came out in citizen's dress,
the old man was too full for utterance.-—-
He hugged the released convict to his
bosom, kissed him, wept and prayed.——
Grasping my hand, he tendered me his
farm, his watch, anything I would take
Pained at the thought of a pecuniary
reward, I took the old man’s arm in
mine, and his boy by the hand, and es-
corted them to the gaIe—litei'-ally bow-
ing them away.

—I never saw them more, But the
young man is doing well, and long may
be live to reward the fond affection of
his parents.

This case may be but one among a
hundred. Where guilt is clear, there
slionld be pity for youth. and some prop
er means taken to restore them to the
paths of rectitude and honor.

New York taste? Refresh my aching
eyes, oh Philadelphia! with a sight of
thy broad brims and drab bonnets. New
York has gone rainbow mad. Dresses
with plaidsa yard square or striped like
the pennants of aship. Ridiculous lit

poppies, marigolds, asters, lilacs, roses,
wreaths, sprays, buds, blossoms, beads,
gauze, ribbons. plumes, lace, spangles,
fringe and frippery, adznfinitmn. Their
wearers, with forms frightfully compres-
sed between wlialebones, no sparkle in
their eyes, no spring to their step, list-
less, eiinuied, jaded, dead and alive spec-
imens of womanhood, utterly incapable
of :1 new sensation.

And the men? What shall we say
of them? With three exceptions there
is not a handsome man in New York !
Epicurean, sensuous, hirsute, wine-bib-
hing, oyster-fed, cigar-siupefied, snake-
skin pamalooned bipeds—puffing smoke
into ladies faces, peeping under ladies’
bonnets, and looking as though they had
exliausted life before they were out of
round jackets. The sight of Horace
Greeley’s clear, child-like face, and pure
calm eyes is as refreshing to the sight in
Broadway as the first snow.drop blos-

The Dreamer. '
BY ZADA.

Night had long since folded its sable
mantle around the earth ; the myriad
voices of nature, which through the day
had ceased not their rejoicings, were
hushed, and silent brooded heavily over
mankind. , -All the world seemed wrap-
ped in deep slumber. . The bright stars
gleamed through the misty folds of the
curtain of darkness which now draped

. the heavens, _-as clearly “and brightly, as

ages ago, When God first placed them ill
their setting of azure. And gazing forth
into the_nigm,.,w,rapped in gorgeous vis-
ions of_ the untold future, was an enthu-
siastic d_reamer._ The light of...genius
sparkled in his eye,,an,(,l _in,tellcct sat_e_n-
ihroned upon,his;l_o_fIy- brow. He. was
‘in manhood’s earlyprime, and liIe.witli
all its‘ attractions seeinedspread _out be-
fore his view- - . - . , ,

How brightly in the longvista opened

'_;liefore him shone ever the _-smallest of

,efarthly joys! _ How like the merry
"chimp of bells, siiigingtlirough his soul,
‘came the thoughts of what he would do
"and be! How softly shaded were the
‘distant glimpses he caught of life's cares
and sorrows! How fraught with joy,
momem of his future
existenre! Sweetly iii imagination to
his ear, came whispering voices of adu-
latiozi, he dreamed, 0! how falsely, that
fume would satisfy all the yeaniings of
the human heart. He thought it would
be a fitting substitute for the holy ties of
nature; Lhatllie inner sanctuarv of his
affections, would never be invaded by
any other claimant, that the freshness
and beauty of those bright flowers of
hope he was cherisliiiig would never
fade away leaving them to wither and
die. “Proudly as an eagle soaring :al0ft
to seek its mountain cyric, will I scale
the dibzy higlils of a. world’s known glo-
ry, and there raise a triuniphanc song of
victory. Alone by the inight. of my ge-
nius will I rise; crowned by my own
hard-earned laurels will I stand, and lis-
ten to the million voices sounding my
praise,” was the language of his soul.

Alas! vain enthusiast; hast thou not
one thought, in all thy lofty imagings to
give to thy Creator"! Dost thou not re-
member ,t_h,aI,t,iiougli~ye,iled from human
‘sight, Iliere_is yet an all seeing eye,
which keeps watch and guards over all
the tenants of earth ‘I that, at his bidding
the mighty fabric thou art rearing will
crumble away, and leave not a trace to
tell of its former existence? that ere the
blossoms of summer, the iflllls Of all—
tumn and the snow wreaths of winter.
have again visited the earth, thy proud
form may lie “low in the ground," and
thy spirit waited away to regions un-
kiiown? Hast thou no thought for the
dread eternity, which will then open
before thee? Caiis’t not with the eye
of a prophet discern that dark spe-ck in
the distant horizon, which may soon
spread and blacken the sky of thy hap-
piness?

When the laurels, which you dream
will be yours, have faded and perished.
when the vigor of youth. and the strength
of manhood have departed, when the
hand of disease has placed its withering
liliglit iipou your frame, when your hair
is bleached by the frosts of many win-
ters to a snowy white, and you toner
trembling along; when you stand upon
the verge of the grave in which you
will soon be laid, and the lily of the val-
ley bloom above your powerless body,
where then will you turn for comfort ?
Those dazzling stars you are now ga-
zing upon, one of which you have fond-
ly imagined to be an emblem of your
future love, bright, never varying, will
shine the same, ages after your very
name has been forgotten, and your deeds
wrapped in ave-il of oblivion. The tiny
insect which you so reinorselesslv crush
beneath your iron heel will not be of less
importance than you a thousand years
hence, unless by deeds of love, and not
of selfishness, you strive to do your Cre-
aior’s behest. The wild mountain flow-
ers which now you pass so carelessly
by, will bloom again and again, Lb glad-
den the hearts of the true lovers of the
beautiful, long after you sleep with
your fore-fathers.

Reuirn then to your childhood home’,
where long ago you spent years so
frauglit with happiness; to that aged
father whose counsels you have so re-
cently despised; to that gentle mother
who strove so earnestly to guide your
youthful lllllld ariglit ; to those brothers
and sisters with whom you used to speak
so gaily beneath the shadow of those no-
ble trees, surrounding youi once loved
dwelling place; Return and dream no
more! Quail‘ deeply from the fonnt of
purity and truth which are no he found
in those once familiar haiiiiis. Casi
from yourselftliat poisoned vine of am-
bition, you have twined so fondly around

falling from the lips of 3'0"!" "e“""=‘l"e

and step forili bold?y, strong in conscious

the cause of right.

And when the time draws near in
which you shall “softly lie and sweetly
sleep,” in the holy quiet of the .l't‘Sl.ll'lL{

of joy will go pealing through the inner
