The Old Maid;
She glides in our midst unassuming and mild,
With the heart ofan angel, the mien of achild ;
She asks not for plaudits to blazon her name,
Nor shrinks she from duty though coupled with
blame.
And iftrials assail in the path where she moves,
She adheres to what God through her con-
science approves;
And whether by smiles or by nialisons paid,
Her course is unswerving--the dauntleu Old
Maid.
There’s an undefined charm on a time-honored
face,
Wrherc youth-bloom but yields to mnturity’s
grace;
Where intelligence blends with affection and
truth,
Out-vieing the brief fascinutions of youth.
And though Time strcws that visage with
wrinkles and care,
And scatters his silver ’mid dark-flowing hair,
Yetshe wastes no regrets on attractions that
fade,
But clasps th_e enduring—-the model Old Jlfaid.
In the but where gaunt Poverty weeps o’eritI
, woes.-
In the chamber where anguish in vain seeks
159030,-
By the couch of the dying her presence is
found,
Screnely dispensing her blessings around.
A friend to the stricken, the aged and young,
No venom of slander c’er fall from her tongue,
But a heart that can feel and a hand that will
aid,
Are the traits that distinguish the noble Old
..Mai:I.
When gloom’s heavy pall settles down on the
soul,
And the dark flood of feeling resists our con-
trol,
Like the Angel of Mercy she steals to our side
And turns from its channels the wide-sweeping
tide.
Then her spirit, like dew to the sun-stricken
flowers,
Bears its own healthful vigor and freshness to
ours,
Till, emerging from tombs where our bright
hopes we laid,
We put off our sables and bless the Old Jlfaid.
Do ye ask for the motive that thus prompts
her part‘! _
I answor—-no impulse that reigns in the heart-—
But her acts have their source in that genuine
Faith
Whose ken reaches far past the portals of death.
And sweet though the meed which the grateful
award,
Yet her soul looks beyond for her perfect re-
ward ;
And when Earth-missions end, in her saint-
robe arrayed,
The glorified hosts will receive the Old Maid.

Change of Feed /or Horse:.—'l‘he
kind of feed for animals should be chang-
ed frequently. A horse long kept on
shorts, will pe affected py a fever in his
legs and feet producing a result similar (0

should never be given except in a mixed
state with cut hay or straw. This will
require them to eat slower, and the food
is better prepared for digestion. If given

p uces a general fever, injures the di-
gestive powers, and finally produces a

these results are discovered the remedy is
a change of food. Continued feeding on

as shorts, or meal ; and many a founder
is caused py it as well as by feeding, or
drinking when the horse IS warm. If

one who gets into a pet and goes pom-
ing about in that manner."
"But is it right for you to act so? A
word of inquiry or expianauon, nngh:
restore all In a m -mem.”
"Right or wrong, I never did, nor
never will humor the whims of such
kind of people. No, no. Let her pout
it out. That’s the way to~cure such
people.” ,
"I don’t think so, Louisa. She is un-
happy from some real or imaginary
cause. That cause in no doubt in your
power to remove.”
"But she has no right to imagine cau-
ses of offence; and I don’t choose to
have people act as she is now acting to-
wards me from mere imaginary causes.
No, let her pout it out I say. I will
teach her a good lesson.
Louisa spoke with indignant wrath.
"Were you never mistaken "."’ asked
Mrs. Appleton in a grave tone.
“Of course I’ve been mistaken, many
a time.”
"Very well. Have you never been
mistaken in reference to another’s ac-
tions towards Ybu F”
“I presume so."
“And have not such
times given you pain?”
“I cannot recall any instances just at
mistakes some-
this moment, but I do not doubt. they
have.”
“Very well. Just imagine yourself
in Maria's position ; wou.'d you not think
it kind in any one to step forward and
disabuse you ofan error that was steal-
iug away your peace of mind ?”
“Yes, but Mrs. Appleton, I don’t know
anything about the cause of Maria’s
strange conduct. She may see that in
her "character or disposition to which she
is altogether unnon-.zemal, and may have
made up her mind not to keep my com-
pany any longer. Or she may feel her-
self nll at once, above me, and I’m not
the one, I can tell you, to cringe to any
living mortal. I am as good as she is
or any one else!"
“Gently, gently, Louisa! Don’t fall
into the very fault you condemn in Ma-
na, that of imauinmga sentiment to be
entertained by another which she does
not hold, and then growing indignant
over the idea, and at the person suppo-
sed to hold it.”
"*1 can’: see clearly the force of what
you say, Mrs. Appleton, and thereforel
must come back to what I remarked a
little while ago. She must pout. it out.’
“You are wrong, Louisa,” her friend
ieplied, “and I cannot let you rest II]
that wrong, if it IS in my power to cor-
rect it. Perhaps by relating a circum-
stance that occurred with myself a few
years as-o, I may be able [0 make an
unpression on your mind. I had and
still have, an esteemed friend amiable-
and sincere, but extrernely sensitive,-—
Shela [00 apt to make mistakes ‘about
other people’s estimation of her, winch
I have often told her is a decided fault
of character. That she was only to be
self conscious oflntegrity, and then she
will be truly estimated. Well, this
friend would sometimes imagine that I
treated her coolly, or indnflerently, or
trust at her feelings, when I felt towards
her all the while a very warm affection.
The consequence would be, that she
would assume a cold or 0fIended exteri-
or. But I never said to myself, “let her
pout it out!” I knew that she was mis
taken, and that she was really suflering
under a mistake, and I would always go
to her, and kindly inquire the cause of
her changed manner. The result was,
of course, an immerliate restoration of
good feeling, often accompanied by a
confession of regret at having injured ,
me by imagining that I entertained un-I
kind sentiments when I did not. On
one occasion I. noticed a kind of reserve
in her manner, but thinking there niight
be some circumstances known only tu
herself that gave her trouble, I did not
seem to observe it. On the next morn-
ing I was exceedingly pained‘ and sur-
prised to receive a note from her, in
something like the following language;
‘The fact is, Mrs. Appleton, I cannot,
and will not bear any longer your man-
ner towards me. You seem to think
that I have no feelings. And besides,
you assume an air of superiority and
patronage quite unassuimn«.r. Last
night your manner was insulIerable.—
As I just said, [cannot and will not
bear such assumption on your part And
now let messy, mat I Wish hereafter to
be considered by you as a stranger. A.-
such I shall treat you. Do not attempt
to see me for I wish for no humiliating
explanations.’
"Now what would you have done in
that case, Louisa.”
"I should have taken her at her word,
of course," was the prompt reply, “did
not you?" A
"Oh, no, that would not have been
right.”
"I must confess, Mrs. Appleton, that
your ideas of right. and mine are very
different. This lady told you expressly
that she did not wish to hold any further
intercourse with you.’
"Exactly, but then she would not
have said so had not she been deceived
by an erroneous idea. Knowing this it
t became my duty to endeavor to remove
the false impression."
“I must confess, Mrs. Appleton, th...
I cannot see it in the same Ii«_:ht. I
don’t believe that we are called upon
to humor the whims of every one, It
does such people as you speak of, good
Hurnorins Whims, or let her pout 3

began to examine as far as I could recol-
lect them, all words and actions towards
her on the previous evening. In one or
two thingsl thought I could perceive
that which to one of her sensitive dis-
position might. appear in a wrong light,
I remembered too, that in her domestic
re-nation.-= there were some circumstances
of a painful character, and I knew that.
these weighed heavily upon her mind
often depressing her very much, .()ne
of these circun1stances, though perfect-
ly beyond her control, was extremely
humiliating to a high-minded, and proud
spirited woman. All these things I
turned over in my mind, and instead of
suffering myself to feel incensed against
her for the unkind note she had wrmen
to me, I endeavored to find excuses for
her, and to palliate her fault all that I
could. VV’nat troubled me most was
the almost insurmountable barrier she
had thrown between us. ‘Do not at-
tempt to answer this; do not attempt to
see me," were strong positions; and my
pride rose up, and forbade to break thro’
them. But pride could not stand before
the awakening of better feelings. "I
VVIII see her,” Isaid.
This resolution taken,I determined
that I would not call upon her till to-
wards evening, thus giving her time for
reflection. The hour at l€l'l_$._Iill came in
which I had made up my mind to per-
form a most painful duty, bud I dressed
myself for the frying visit. VVhen I
pulled the hell, on pausing at her door,
I was externally calm, but internally ag-
uated
"Tell Mrs. that :1 friend wish-
es to speak to her,I said to the servam
who showed me llli0 the parlor. Idud
not feel at liberty to ask her not to men
tion my name; but I emphasised the
word friend, in hopesthat she would
understand my meaning. But she did
not or would not, for ma few moments
she returned and said in a confused and
hesitntmg VOICCI
‘Mrs says that she does not
wish to see you ’ ”
"And you left the house on the ins.
tant?” Louisa said in an indignant tone.
"No, I did not,” was Mrs. Apple-ton’s
calm reply,
"Not after such an insult! Pardon
me-—but I should call it a breach of po-
liteness, for anyone to remain in the
house of another undefisuch circumstan
ces."
“Bur, Louisa, you must remember that
there are exceptions to every general
rule; and also that the same act may be
good or bad. according to the end which
the actor has in view. If I hail propo

by ineemig her. and letting her ear take

‘Tell Mr.-. ,’ I said to Ihe ser
vant, ‘that I am very anxious to see her
and that she mu.-t not refuse me an ll’)-

ed with the positive refu.-al of Mrs.
to see me. There was one tiling
that I did not want to do—one thing
that I hesitated to do, and that was to
force myself upon my estranged friend,
by intruding upon he.-r,even ll] her own
chamber, where she had retired to be
secure from my importunity. But I
looked to the end I had in view.
‘Is

mused over the unpleasant. position in
which I found myself. '\V1ll not even

she has perceived her error.’ Thus I
argued with myself, and finally made
up my mind thatl would compel an in-

to see me.
As I resolved to do, so I acted

"Perhaps-so," Marin said, with some-

silence embarrassing in some degree to
both parties followed, which was broken
by an lIlllSlOll of Mrs. App§eton’s to.
Louisa Graham.
To this Maria made no answer.

To this appeal Louisa remained silent
a few moments, and then looking up
said :
“What would you have me do, Mn.
Appleton?” V
“Nothing but what you see to be
clearly right. Do not act simply from
my persuasion, I urge you as I do that

"It seems to me that you should go

said after mu~ing a few moments.
"But does ll. seem to you right

"It does when I lose sight of myself,
and think of Maria as stanrlingto anoth-

to me,"
"I am glad that you have thus sepa-

wsrils others. Go then, to your estran-

I lrxmw the result will be pleasant to

“I am fully convinced that It is right
for me :o do so; and more, I am fully
resolved xodo whatl -see to be right.”
About an hour after the closing of
this lIllPl‘VlE:'\V Louisa called at the house
of her friend. It was some minutes af-
zer :-he had sent up her name before Ma-
rin descended to the parlor to meet her.

There was a pause for some momenta,
Lillflllg \VlllCll Maria was evidently on-

uonal response to what had been said.
