a new poet celebrated in the July 'number of

My little wife often round the church hill,

And nothing seemed sweeter ,
To me than to meet her, Q
And tell her what weather ."twas likely to be
My heart the while glowing, '
The selfish wish growing 'E
That all her afi‘ections wereiceuteredin the.

Sweet little, dear little, loved-troubled Jane,
So deeply absorbed in her tiny-dreaming grow,
The bell chimed and ceased, yet she-heme '
not its strain, 3 g - . . " ‘ ' I'
And 1, walking near her,
(May love ever cheer her,‘ »
Who thinks all such wondering Ol‘ sin void J
and free,) ' ’ ‘ 'I

That He who had made her
Had destined her heart-love for no one but
me. ' 1

of housewives could make it -! In one cor-

over its head,"wliich,' tradition said, had
at o remote period, followed the rising
and setting of its great. prototypes-in the

;. .Neverwere therasachs apples as those
which swung around and around upon
strings before the fire of. a winter’s eve-
ning, never such baked potatoes as those
buried deep in the ashes. upon the hearth,
A'never such cornstalks as . those which
caught golden has from the blazing em-
hers, or turkey like these turned upon a
spit, filling‘ the room with savory odors
Eas suggestive- of a dainty repast.

Before the fire was the wooden settle,
and here the children were wont to sit in
the long evening, telling stories, cracking
unts, conning their lessons for the morrow
or listening in silence to the words of wis-
dom that fell from the lips of their supe-
riors, and each gazing in silence into the
bright fire, and conjuring up all sorts of
grotesque fanciful images from among the
burning cnnlé. .No . fabled genii, with
their magic lamps of cuchantment, could
build such gorgeous palaces, or create
such gems as the child could discern amid
the blazing embers of the old fashioned
fire place. ' I

And we must not neglect the chimney
corner, where sat our grandfather in his
accustomed sent, his hair silvered with-E.
the Silowsof many winters—a venerable“
man to whom old age had come “ frost-
ly but kindly,” and whose last dsvs were
like, those of an Indian summer, serene
and bltautiful, even till the stars appeared
in heaven. .

How pure'was the air in those days i
the large fireplace, with .its brisk draught,
carried off the impurities of the atmos-
pherle, and left the air pure, life-giving
and healthful. Now, we crouch around
hot cooking stoves,}and think it strange
that we feel so stupid and drowsy of an
evening; or we huddle. about air-tight
stoves, and wander that the air seems bur-
ned and impure;for,we's_it down in chilly
rooms heated by a furnace,1aud~marvel
that 'with: all our coldly '- furniture, soft
carpets, bright mirrors «and- damask cur-
thins, they are cheerless places—so on.
like our ideas of a New England home.
Alas that with all E the uncalled im-
provements of our advanced civilization
the fire should be permitted to go out
forever in our old-fashioned fire-places,
thus burying in the ashes of the past so
many means of health, home-comfort, good
cheer and happiness.

GENERAL Roossam’s Swan—A cor.
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
relates the following of that noble Ken.
tricky Unionist, General Reusseau:

“ I was in his tent not long since when
a gentlman came before him requesting
permission to go beyond our lines and
visit his wife. He had never taken up
arms against the Union, but he had aided
and abetted those who had, and admitted
that he was still a secessionist-

~‘You can’t go 1’ said the General.

'ItE seems very 'hard,’ replied Secesh,
