Let not my friend, though now .a wife,
Bid all her cares adieu ;
Comforts there are in married life,
And there are crosses, too.
I do not wish to mar your mirth
With an ungrateful sound,
But know that perfect bliss on earth
ho mortal ever found_
Your prospects and your hopes are great-
May God those hopes fulfil--é ' -
But yoh will find in every state
Some diilicultios still.
The rite which lately joined your hands,
Cannot insure content ;
Religion forms the strongest hands,
And love the best cement.
A friendship founded on esteem

It will not vanish as a dream-
And such, I hope, is yours.
But yet God‘: daily blessings cravo,
Nor trust your youthful heart ;
You must divinéassistanca have

Though you have left the parent wing,
Nor longer ask its care,
It is but seldom husbands bring
A lighter yokc to wear.
They have their immoral and their faults-
So mutable is man ;
Excuse his foibles in your thoughts,
And hide them if you can.
No auger nor resentment keep,
Whatever is amiss ; A

Thus give your tender passions scope-
Yet better things pursue ;
Be heaven the object of your hope,
And lead him thither, too.
Since you must both resign your breath,
And God alone knows when ;
So live that you may part in death
Tomcat with joy again. .
And may the Lord your ways approve,
And grant you both a sliure
In His redeeming saving love.

_ A Continual Dropping. ‘
“ On the roofs of many of the houses,”
says Dr. Hackett, in his travels in Pales-
tine, “ especially in northern Syria, I no-
ticcdu cylindrical - rolling-stone, the ob-
ject of which, as I was told, was to
smooth and burden the mud-covered roofs”
(flat roofs.) This operation is necessary
as a means of keeping out the rain ; since
otherwise the mud and gravel which
cover the poorer houses, would crack and
allow the water to trickle through the
crevices upon the heads of the inmates.-
It is customary to apply the roller espec-
ially after a shower, because the clay,
zbeing then softened, may be reduced
fmorc easily to a solid mass. Not-
withstanding this precaution, and still
more in case of its b.ing omitted, it
is found to be very difficult to exclude the
wet entirely from such imperfect habita-
tions. The more violent and protracted
rains are liable to loosen the earth which
forms tho roof and to open a passage for
the water to flow or drop, according to
the extent of the injury, into the interior
of the house.”
Though it may not be entirely certain,
it is yet probable that the comparison in
Prov. 27, 15, is derived from this liability
of the Syriad villagers to suffer such an
invasion of their domestic comfort. “ A
continual dropping in a very rainy day
and a contentious woman are alike ;-" that
is, they are equally intolerable, and
drive a man out of the house; or, if he
remains, render his situptlon exceedingly
unpleasant. As an illustration of this,
Mr. Hartley, who travelled in Asia Mi-
nor, relates the following incident : “ Last
night we retired to rest in what appeared.
to be one of the best rooms which we
have occupied during our journey; but
at midnight we were roused by the rain
descending through the roof ; and were
obliged to rise and seek shelter from the
incessant dropping, in the corridor, which
was better protected.
fie authors of the Septuagint version
evidently understood the passage under
remark as alluding to this species of an-
noyance. They translate thus, “ Drops
of rain in a wintry day drive a man out
of his house; in the same manner, also,
does an abusive woman.” Many of the
commentators recognize this as the origin
of the illustration in the proverb.”

_A Few Scenes from a True History.
scam: I.
ALFRED Noam: had grown up to man-
hood among thc rocks and hills of a New
England village. A year spent in M0-
bile cmployod in the duties of a clerk, had
not accustomed him to the dull duties of
commercial life. He longed for the sound
of brooks, and the fresh air of the hills.
It was, therefore, with great pleasure
‘ that be received from'his employer :1 mes-
sage to be conveyed to a gentleman who
liked ' in tho pleasantest suburbs of the
city. It was one of those autumnal days
when the earth seems to rejoice conscious-
ly in the lightthat gives her beauty.
Leaving behind him the business quar-
ter of the town, he passed through pleas-
ant streets bordered with trees, and al-
- most immediately found himself amid
scenes clothed with all the freshness of
the country. Hand.-tomcmansions here
and there dotted the landscape, with
pretty little parks, enclosing orange trees
and magnolias, surrounded with hedges
of holly, in whose foliage numerous little
foraging birds were busy in the sunshine.
The youngmnu looked at these dwel-
, lings with an exile’s longing at his heart.
. .1-Ie imagined groups of parents and chil-
dren, brother.-1'aa(l sister , under those
slielteriug roofs, all strangers to him, an
orphan, alone in the world. The pen-
sivcness of his mood gradually gave place
to more cheerful thoughts. Visions of
‘prosperous business and a happy home
frosc before him, as he walked briskly to-
ward the hills south of the city. The in-
tervals between the houses increased in
length, and he soon found himself in a
little forest _of pines. Emerging from
this, he came suddenly in sight of an ele-
gant white villa, with colonnaded portico
and spacious vcrandas. He approached
it by a path through a grove, the termi-
nation of which had grown into the sem-
blance of a Gothic arch, by the interla-
cing of two trees, one with glossy ever-
green leaves, the other yellow with the
tints of autumn; Vines had clambered,
to the top, and hung in light festoons
The foliage, flutter-
ing in a gentle breeze, caused successive
ripples of sun-flecks, which chased’ each
other over trunks and boughs, and joined
_' in wayward dance with the shadows on
V the ground.
Arrested by this unusual combination
of light and shade, color and form, the
young man stood still for a moment to
gaze upon it. He was thinking to him-
self that nothiag could add to the perfec-
tion of its beauty, when suddenly there
come dancing un'der the arch 9. figure
that seemed ,like the "fairy of those
iv‘o’ods,f a -spirit of the mossgs and the
vines.
She was a child, apparently five or six
yearsold, with large brown eyes, and a
profusion of dark hair. IIer gypsy hat,
ornamented with scarlet ribbons and a
garland of red holly-berries, had fallen
back on her shoulders, and her checks
were flushed with exercise. A pretty lit-
tle white dog was with her, leaping up
eagerly for a cluster of holly berries which
she had playfully shook above his head.
She whirled swiftly round and round the
friskiug animal, her long red ribbons fly-
ing on the brccze,and then she paused, all
aglow, swaying herself back anti forth,
like a flower on its stem. A flock of
doves, as if attracted toward her, come
swooping down f.-om the sky, revolving in
graceful curves above her head, their
white breasts glistening in the sunshine.
The serial movements of the child were so
full of life and joy, she was so in harmony
with the golden day, the waving vines,
and the circling doves, that the whole
scene seemed like an allegro movement in
music, and she a charming little melody
floating through it all.
Alfred stood like one enchanted. He
feared to speak or move, lest the fairy
should vanish from mortal presence. So
the child and the dog, equally unconscious
of .a witness, continued their graceful
gambols for several minutes. An cider-
ly mun might have inwardly moralizecl
on the folly of the animal, apiug human-
ity in thus earnestly striving after what
would yield no nourishment when obtaini-
ed. But Alfred was too young and too
happy to morulizc. The present moment.
was all-snfiicient for him, and stood still
there in its fuluess, unconnected with past
or future. .
This might have lasted long, had not
the child been attracted by the dove shad-
ows, and looking up to watch the flight
of the birds, her eyes encountered the
young man. A whole heart full of sun-
shine was in the smile which be greeted
her. But, with a startled look, she
turned quickly and ran away; and the
dog, still full of frolic, went. bounding by
her side. As Alfred tried to pursue
them, a ho h knocked oil‘ his hat.-
Without stopping to regain it, he sprang
ever a holly hedge, and came in view of
the veranda of a house, just in time to
see the fairy and her dog disappear be-
hind a trellis covered with the evergreens
of the Cherokee tree. Conscious of the
impropriety of pursuing her further, be
paused to take breath. As he passed
his hand through his hair, tossed into
masses by running against the wind, he
heard a voice from the.veranda exclulm,—
“Whither so fast, Loo Loo? Come
here, L00 L00 !” ,_
Glancing upward, he saw.a patrician-
looking gentleman, in a handsome" morn-
ing-gown, of Oriental fashion, and slip-
pers richly embroidered. He was recli-
ning on a lounge, with wreaths of smoke
floating before him ;' butseeing the stran-
gcr, he rose, and taking the amber-tubed
cigar from his month, he said, half-lauglr
ll) ,— -
g" You seem to be in great haste, sir.-
Pray, sir, what have you been hunt-
ing I”
“Alfred also laughed, as he ‘replied,-—
“ I have been chasing a charming lit-
tle girl, who would not be caught. Per-
haps she was your daughter I”
“She is my daughter,” rejoined the
gentleman. “ A pretty little witch is she
not? Will you walk in, sir ?”
Alfr‘eil,thtinl:;ed_hini, and saidthat he
was in search of a Mr.‘ Duncan, whose
residence was in that neighborhood.
_ “I am Mr. Duncan,” l'eplied_the pa-
ttician. " Jack, go_a_nd— fetch the‘ ‘gen-
tldi’asn"s inc, and bring cigars.” _
A
A negro obeyed his orders, and after
Smoking awhile on the verandah, the
two gentlemen walked round the grounds.
Oncewhen they approached the house
they heard the patter of little feet, and
Mr. Duncan called out, with tones of
foudness,—-
" G°|"‘v‘ “W9. Loo Loo! Come, dar-
ling, and see the gentleman who has been
chasing‘ you I” .
But the shy little.fairy ran all the fast-
er, and Alfred saw nothing but the long
red ribbons of her gypsy but, as they
floated behind her on the wind. ‘
Declining a polite invitation to dine, he
walked back to the city. The llIlpl'eSSl0ll
on his mind had been sovivid, thg_t, as he
walked, there rose ever before him a vis-
ion 'of that graceful arch with waving
viucs, the undulating flight of the silver-
breastcd doves, and the airy motions- of
that beautiful child; -How would his in-
terest in the scene have deepened, _ could
some sybyl have foretold him how closely
the Fates had interwoven the destinies of
himself and thatlovely littlconc !
When he entered the counting-room,
he found his employer in close conversa-
tion with Mr. Grossman, a wealthy cot
ton-broker. This man was but little
more than thirty years of age, but the
predominance of animal propensities was
stamped upon his countenance with more
distinctuess than is usual with sensualists
twice his age. The oil of a thousand
hams seemed oozing through his pimplcd
cheeks ; his small gray eyes were set in
his head like the eyes of a pig ; his mouth
bad the expression of :2. sntyr; and his
nose seemed perpetually snilfing the sp-
vory prophecy of food. Whenthc clerk
had iieliverccl his xncssagc, he slapped him
familiarly on the shoulder, and said,.—
" So you’ve been out to Duncmfs, have
you, eh ? Pretty _nest there at Pine
Grove, and they say has got a rare bird
in it ; but he keeps her so close, that I
could never catch ‘sight of her. Perhaps
you got a peep, eh ?”
“ I saw a very beautiful child of Mr.
Duncan-'s,” replied Alfred, “ but I did not
see his wife.”
“'l‘hatis_very likely,” rejoined Gross-
man: “because he has never had any
wife.” ‘
“ He said the little girl was his daugh-
ter, and I naturally inferred that he had
a wife,” replied Alfred. ’
“'That_don’t follow of course, my gos-
ling,” said the cotton-broker. “Yoo’1'c
green, young man ! You’rc green! I
swear, I’d give a good deal to get sight
of Duucau’s wench. She must be devil-
ish handsome, or he wouldu’t keep her so
close.”
Alfred Noble had always felt an antip-
athy to this man, who was often letting
fall some rema.rk thotj;:i':'ed.,harshly with
his romantic ideas of _womcn,,——-something
that-sesmed to insullzthe memories of a
spirit world. But he had never liked
him less than at this moment; for the
sly wink of his eye, and the expressive
lecr that accompanied his course words,
were very disagreeable things to be asso-
ciated with that charming vision of the
circling doves and the innocent child.
T scam»: Il.
Time passed away, and with the aver-
age share of changing events. Alfred
Noble had becomejunior partner in the
counting-house he had entered as clerk,
and not long afterward the elder partner
died Left thus to rely upon his own eu-
crgy and enterprise, the young man
gradually" extended his business, and
seemed in a fair way to realize his favorite
dream of making a fortune a— returning to
thcNorth to marry. The subject ofSlavery
was then seldom discussed. North and
South seemed to have entered into a toe-
it agrcement to ignore the topic com-
pletely. Alfrcd’s experience was like
that of most New Euglauders in his situ-
ation. He was at first annoyed and
pained by many of the peculiarities of
Southern society, and then gradually be-
came accustomed to them. But liis nat-
ural scuse ofjustice was very strong, and
this, added to the influence of early edu-
cation, and strengthened by scenes of pet-
ty despotism which he was frequently
compelled to witness, led him to resolve
that he would never hold a slave. The
colored people in his employ considered
him their friend, because he was always
kind and generous to them. He sup-
posed that comprised the whole of duty,
and further than that he never reflected
upon the subject. —
The pretty little picture at Pine Grove
which had made so lively an impression
on his imagination, fndcd the more rapid-
ly, because unconnected with his affec-
tions. But a shadowy semblance of it
always fiitted lll'.‘0l]glI his memory, when-
ever he saw a beautiful child, or observed
any unusual combination of trees and
vines.
Four years after his interview with Mr.
Duncan, business called him to the interi-
or of the State, and for the sake of heal-
thy cxcrcisc he chose to make the jour-
ucy on horseback. His route lay most-
ly through a monotonous region of sandy
plain, covered with pines, here and there
varied by patella of cleared land, in
which numerous dead trees were prostra-
ted, or standing leafless, waiting their
timc to fall. Most of the d\\'elIizi_:';s
were log-houses, but now and then the
white villa of some wealthy planter might
be seen gleaming through the evergreens.
Sometimes the sandy soil was intersected
by veins of swamp, through which muddy
water oozed sluggishly, among bushes
and dead logs. In ‘these damp places
flourished dark cypresses and holly-trees,
draped with gray Spanish moss, twisted
around the boughs, and hanging from
them like gigantic cobwebs. Now and
then, the sombre scene was lighted up
with a bit of brilliant color, when a scar-
let grosbeak flitted from branch to branch
or a red-headed Woodpecker hammered at
the trunk of some old tree, to find where
the insects had intreached themselves-—
But nothing pleased the eye of the trav-
eller so mnch as the holly-trees, with
their glossy evergreen foliage, red berries
and tufts of verdant mistleto. He had
been riding all day, when, late in the af-
ternoon, an uncommonly beautiful holly
trcc uppcaredto terminate the l'0.l:d".:ll.
tho "bend ‘where it -stood. Its boughs
were woven in with a cypress on the oth-
er side, by long tangled fringes of Span-
ish moss._. The settingsau shone bright-
aslsat the mingled foliage, and lighted
beloved mother ‘and sister ‘gone ‘to thc_
up the red berries, which glimmered
through the thin drapery of moss, like
the coral ornaments of a handsome bru-
nette, seen through her veil of embroid-
ered lacc. It was unlike the woodland
picture he had seen at. Pine Grove, but
it recalled it to his memory more freshly
than he had_ seen it for along time He
watched the pccnli~.u' effects of sunlight,
c‘:-miging as he approached the tree, & the
desire grew six'on_9; within him to have the
fairy-like child .v..- the frolicsomc dog make
their appearance beneath that swinging
canopy of illuminated moss. If his
nerves had been in such a state that
forms in the mind could have taken an
outward shape, he would have 1‘eull;$e(l
the vision so distinctly painted on his im-
aglnation. ' ~
But he waswell and strong ; therefore
he saw nothing but a blue heron flopping
away among the cypresses, and -a flock of
tm'kcy-buzz-.u'cls soaring high above the
trees, with easy and graceful flight. His
thoughts, however, cominued busylwitfn
the picture that. had been so vividly rc-
callcd. He rccollcctcd having heard,
some time before. of Mr. Dunc-un's death,
and be queried within himself what had
become of that beautiful child.
Musing thus, he rode under the fantas-
tic fcstoons he had been admiring, and
saw at his right a long gentle descent,
where a small stream of w-.itcr- glided
downward over mossy stones. Trees on
either side intcrlacell their boughs over
it, and formed a vista, cool, dark, and
solemn as the aisle of some old Gothic
church. .A figure moving; upward, by
the side of the little brook, attracted his
attention, and he checked his hor.-1c to in-
quire W11-atlic-1' the people at the ncazest
house would entertain a stronger for the
night. Wheat the figure appro-.1chcr_l
ne=.=.1‘e-r, he saw that it was a. slender,
barcfooted girl car1'ying.a pail of water.
As she eu1ex'_gcd from the dim aisle of
across her face for an instant, and im-
parted a luminous glory to her largo
bro'.vn eyes." Shading o. mm with her hand,
she paused iimidly before the stranger,
and answered his Inquiries. Tlzc modu-
latiou oiher tones suggested a degree of
refinement which he llilil not expected to
meet in tlmtXloncly region. He gazed at
her so intently, that her eyes sought the
ground, and theii‘ loo,é_r, dark fringes rest-
ed ou her l)lushin_v._r_ clieel-;s. Vfhat was
it. those eyes recalled 2’ They taut-alizeci
and eluded his rnznicry. “ My good
girl, tell me what is your name,” he said
kindly. _
“Louisa,” she replied, lyaslifiiliy, and
added, “ I will SIICT-T you the way to the
house.”
“Let me carry -the W-.1t.c1' for you,”
said the kincl-hearte-'.l traveller. He dis-
moiixited for the purpose, but she resisted
his impor'cu11iIjics, sayiixg that 5.7.-e would
be very aur,:;r_v with he".-
“ And who is she 2”’ asked.

“ Oh, no, indeed I" was the hasty rc-
ply_ “ I am——I——I live there.”
The disclailner was sudden and earnest
as if the question struck on 21 wounded
“ Is she
nerve. Her ey s swaui with tears, and
the rcn1=.x'.:uEs.-r of her answer was sad and
reluctant. in its tones. The child was so
clclicatcly formed, so shy and sensitive,
so very beautiful, that she fascinated him
strougl'.~'. He led his horse into the lane
she had entered, and as he walked by her
side he comimiecil to ob:-:crvc her with
the most lively interest. Her xnotiozis
were listless anal languid, but fiexile as -.1
willow. "I‘llc_v puzzled him, as llGl‘£'_‘.'a,'S
had done, for they seemed to remind him
of soinctlxing he llad seen in :1 l::nlf'-forgot-
tun Llmani.
'l‘hcy soon came in sight of the house,
which was built of logs, but larger than
most. houses of that description, and two
or three huts in the rear indicated that
the owner po.-tscssed slaves. An open
porch in front was slunled by the pl'0jccl:-
lug roof, and there two l.lll]gy,bl.‘1Ck‘ll6SUil.
dogs were gx'0wlin;_: and tonsling each
other. I’igs were rooting the groan.-J
and oumng them roll-.-cl :1 black baby, cu-
veloped in a bundle of dirty rugs. Tin.-

the house to enquire whether entertain-
meut could be flll'lllSllC\.l. for hiu1='clf and
horse. It was some time before the _p::»-

pcuz-;_mco. At last be (time slowly saun-
tcriug round the cod of the house, his hat.

He was accompanied by a. large dog,
which rushed in alnong the pigs, biting-
their cars, and making them race about,
-quealiug piteoxisly. Then he seized hold
of the bundle of rags containing the black-
baby, and began to drag it over the
ground, to the no small astonishment of
the baby, who adtlccl his SCl'L‘ECll to the
cliamv-.n'i of the pigs. With lcod shouts
flaughter, Mr. Jackson cheered on fills:
‘ugh animal, and was so’ much enter-
tained by the scene, that he seemed to
have forgotten the traveller cntir<3l_v.—-
When at lost his eye rested upon him, he
merely evclaimeal, “That’s :1 hell of :1
dog 1*’ and began to call “S!'aboy !” again.

praise for his performances.
The traveller availed himself of this
scene of quiet to renew his former inqui-
ries.
“Well,” said Mr. Jackson, ‘f I reckon
we" can accommodate ye. \Vhar are ye

Mr. Noble having stated “ wlm1"’l1c_
wasfrom, was required to tell “ whar"
he was going, whether he owned tho-t
“ bit of horse-flesh,” and whether he wan-
ted to sell him. Having unswcred all
these interrogatories in a sat.isfactol_\:
manner, he was ushered into the house.
The interior was rude and slovenly,
like the exterior. The doors wsre open-
ed by wooden latches wit-l1lenth_er strings,
and sageycd so much on their wooden
hinges, tliat they were usually left open
to avoid thé dlfiiculty of shutting them.
Guns and fishing-tackel were on the wall.-‘v,

so incredible, and the tra.ve_ller eyed her
with scrutinizing glance, striving in vain
to find some trace of colored nucestry.

She tried to obey, but native; timidity
ov'er'c‘ame the habit ofsub'n1‘s'sion, and af-
ter one shy glance at the stranger;-her
eyelids ‘ lowered, and their long, dark
fringes rested on her cheeks. . .
“ I reckon yc don’t oftcn see it pootie

I-'v'.lIiic he was speaking, his wife came
in from the kitchen, followed, by 9, black
woman with a dish of sweetpotatocs and
some hot corn-cakes. She. made her
prcscnccmanifcst by giving “ Leewizzy”
a violent push, with the exfctsm-mau,~_—
“ What are ye shading-thnr-for, . yer la-
zy Wench ‘? Go nnd help Dinah bring in

band, she said, “ You'll make. n. -fool 0’
that or gal. It’s high time she was sold.
Shc’s no account here.” .
V _ M1‘. Jaclcsou gave a knowing, wink at

The subject of his discourse was listen-
ing to what he said; and partly from
tremor at the, import of his words, and
partly from fear that shewould not place
the dish of bacon and eggs to suit her
mistress‘, she tipped itiu settinglt down,
