And the slender form it still and low. Which we thought would be this night A r raved injhose robes of spotless snow And decked with thole jewels bright. " We'll wrap her form in the winding sheet, And a rose-bud white shall rest (Of her own pure life an emblem sweet) Ou her cold and pulseless breast. Her runny locks we will leave as free As they were in by-gone days, When she touted them back in girlish glee From her fair and smiling face. Oh, then away with the bridal veil And the orange garland fair, Tor the smooth young brow is cold and pale That we destined those to wear. f And the crimsou lip aud eye of blue ' No longer of lve may speak, And goue is the trembling, wild-rote hue That played on bur pearly cheek. m The angel bands in the world above Have welcomed a sister borne. And bright is she in that land of lore, Where the ills of earth ne'er come. Awsy, away with the llBuhiug gems , And the bridal robes of white. For her brow is girt with a diadem, And ber rubes are like the light. But there is one who will see her rest In her silent beauty there, With speechless woe in his aching breast, And a look of mute despair Be will come with jovful henri to claim His lovely and youthful bride; lie will go again,but not as he came With a soul of joy aud pride. He will go with weary, weary heart To mourn for the treasure (led, To bear in his breast grief's poisoned dart, And arinh thnt he. too. were dead. Oh. joy for the young bride, pore aud bright, w'.l t f i. : U1....I vi un me auei iejrivu unw, But woe for him on whose soul the blight Of a mourner's grief doth rest. Miscellaneous. COL. CRICKLEY'S HORSE. ' I have never been able to ascertain the cause of the Quarrel between the Crickley1 nd the Drakes. They had lived within a aiile of each other in Illinois for five years, and from their first acquaintance, there had bee a mutual feeliiie of dislike between the tw6 families. Then some misunderstanding about the boundary or their respective larms, reveal ed the latent flame, and Col. Crickley having followed a lame buck all one afternoon and vouuded him, came up to him and found old Drake and his sons outline him up! This in cident added fuel to the fire, and from that time there was nothing the two families did not do to annoy each other. The? shot each other's ducks in the river, purposely mistf-king them for wild ones, and then by way of retal iation, commenced killing off each other's pigs and calves. , One evening Mr. Drake the elder, was re turning home wiih his "pocket full of rocks," from Chicago, whither he had been to dispose 'oft load of grain. Sam Ilarton was with him on the wagon, and as they approached flic grove which intervened between them and Mr. Drake's house,he observed to his compan ion !' ' "What a beautiful mark Col.Crickleys'sold Roan is over yonder ?" , "Hang ill" muttered old Drake, "so it is." .The horse was standing under some trees, alwtit twelve rods from the road, k Involuntarily, Drake stopped his team. He glanced furtively around, then with a queer mile the old hunter took up his rifle.from the bottom of the wagon, and raising it to his boulder, drew a sicht on the Colonel's horse. "Beautiful !' muttered Drake lowering his rifle with the air of a man resisting a power ful temptation. "I could drop old Koan easvl" "Shoot." suggested Sam Barton, who loved fun m any shape. "No, no, 'twouldn't do," said the old hun ter, glancing cautiously around him again. ' i "l won't tell," said Sam. "Wal. I won't shoot this time, any way, tell or no tell. The horse is too nigh. If waitfifiy rods off instead of twelve, so there'd be a bare possibility or mistaking mm lor 3eer, I'd let fly- As it is, I'd give the Colo nel five dollrs for a shot.!' . At that moment the Colonel himself step ped from behind a big oak, not half a dozen paces distant, ana stooa oeiore mr. ura&e "Well, whv don't vou shoot ?'' . The old man stammered in some wolds confusion: "That you Colonel. I I was tempted to declare! And as I said, I'll give you a V ' one pull." 'Say tn 'X' and ils a bargain !" ' Drake felt of hi rifle, and looked at. Roan: "How much is the boss wutht" he muttered in Sam's ear. "About 150." ' "Gad, Col. , I'll do it. Here's your 'X !"' ' '. The Colonel, took and pocketed the money. muttering "Haneed if I thought you'd lake me up." ' With inch glee, the old hunter put a fresh i rap on his rilfe, stood up in his wagon, drew a close sight at old Roan. Sam Barton L chuckled. The Col. put his hand befure ' face and chuckled too. 1 '! "Crack!" wqnt the rifle. The hunter out a hor.u) oath,' which t wilknot repear, 't. Bam wa,i astonished. SHie Colonel laughed.

"Crack away," cried the Colosrl, pocketing the note. Drakt did crack away with deadly aim too but the horse did not mind the bullet m the least.. To the rage tud unutterable as tonishment of the old hunter, old Roau look ed him right in the face, as if he rather liktd the fan. "Drake." cried Sam "you're drunk I A nrse at doien tods oh, my ye ! ' "Just shut voue mouttn or I'll shoot you I" Uiundered the excited Drako. "The bulM was hollow I'll swear. The man lies that savs I cant shoot ! Last week I cut off a goose's head nt fifty rods, and I cando it again. By the Lord Marry, oionei, you can laugn, but 1 11 bet now, thirty dollars, I can bri g down old R"an at one shot." The wager Was readily accepted, lhe Stakes were placed in Sam's hands, Elated with the idea ol winning back his two tens, and making an "X" into the bargain. Drake carefully selected a perfect ball, and even buckskin patch, and beaded the rifle. It was now nearly darn, oui ine oia hunter boasted of being able to shoot a bat on the wing by starlight, and without hesitation he drew a clear sight on old Roan's head. A minute later, Dnike was driving through the grove the most enraged, the most desper ato of men. His rife, innocent victim of his ire, lay with a broken stock on the bottom of the wagon.

As pathos and June oit nearly oppositdvides of the same thing, so women cry os easily as they inugn, ana, we are inclined to lliiek enjoy the latter diversion quite as much aa the former.' "The luxury of woe,"a s'imefeiitimeiilniist has called it, is to them a satisfaction even more intense than that of making a lover jealous or a rival envious. Sometimes, indted, crying becomes an evil, (a enjiig evil, of course,) like any amusement wheh it is indulged to excess. Tears.no doubt, rtay be "run into the ground," which iscertainlj "carrying the thing too far." Yet, for real, htartfelt grief, handsome eyes, whether black or blue, are n l often spoiled by w eping.

The busy throng which has swept the thoroughfares until late et night, Las ceased to flow, and the great metropolis ho longer throbs its living tide thrjugh the accustomed arteries. The snow has lecn falling far an hour, and the sharp gusty wind sweeps round the corner and goes wailing down the dim avenues as if sorrowing for human woe. The lamp lights gleam pale and sickly out through thestorm. The police man, or some reveller, and the winds alone disturb the silence that reigns. Turn nownward where the lepers of want and vice aave gathered as ir in sympathy. The foul crater is active, for its more deidly fumes ascend in the darkne-sof Hie night. I'own below the aurlnce ot the eartn, are p ts. where the ruffianly end the vile are at their revels. There is a faint deadly glare from the dirty windows, and in spite of the wintry blast, an occasional breath of the r im hell reeking beneath And an occasional ha I ha ! to mingle with the shrieking of the wind, Here is a dark alley scar e wide enough, to admit a person; running back where no light beaks in upon the impenetrable darkness. The foot strikes a step, and we climb upward upon a creaking flight ol stairs. The snow and wind whirl fiercely over the roof and shako the crazy structure to its foundation, but we lean closer to the walls, aud mount upward. Five stories up, and we stand upon the narro pisiform ond peer down w.th a whin ing brain into the black ocean below. Turn ing into a narrow hall we stand before a shat tered door, revealing a feeble light within. Even in this winter night, the miasms of pol lution Hoots through the building like a pesti lence. What a scene as we enter that chamber ! Here poverty and want reign in their ghostly loneliness and solitude. The silence of deso lation broods over all, and the faint lamp light nickeung to its wane is like the beam which creeps up from the exhalations of the grave. There is not u coal in the grate, nor a chair in the room. The gusts of wind sift the snow through the cracks by the door, and an invol untory chi'l steals over the surface and then into the heart. Starvation, gaunt, pinched, and spectral, stalks before the imagination and mingles a toottaii with every gust that rattles the shattered door. . And do human creatures dwell in such abodes as this J Hist I Tbe're is a sound in that dark corner. There is a sound as if a life of agony were at once crushed from the heart. And then t spectre form slowly rises and stalks towards the light. It is a woman, but God! how thin and hag gard ! A fiercer gust shakes the old building. She stands in a listening attitude as its low wail dies away, and then, wildly staring at vacancy, takes her seat mechanically on a box by the light. Her face is thin, and every fea ture the fool print of unalterable agony. The eyes are sunken and inflamed, but as tearless as her cheek and lip are bloodless. The latter is thin and drawn closely, as if in mortal suf fering, over her teeth.' She leans over the waning taper, and takes a garment in her hand upon which she has been sewing. How fearfully tearless and calm she appears. We look until some night-mare fascination chains us to the spot. Save a startling wilduesa about the eye, it would not seem that those features had ever been stirred by a human passion. She holds her hands towards the light in the attempt to thread her needle but fails; and still, with her bauds distended, ftares at the dim taper. There is a stirring in the heapof rags beside her and tl.e woman starts as if stung by an adder. The faintest flush passes over her cheek, and she mutters to herself as she hur riedly essays to thread her needle. From that heap of rags a boy has come forth! Child of ten years he stands before that spectral mother, and in husky whispers asks for bread. She stares strangely into his face, and still muttering to herself. The boy is almost.naktd and shiveringVith cold, and upon those childish features hunger has written enough to pierce the hardest heart. The very look is hopeless, heart-breaking ag ony. The child bows his head in that wom an's lap with a sob-like moan, and then moves with a languiJ step to the g ate, and lays his fingers already blue with cold, upon the frosty iron. The chill causes him to start, and he re turns moaning to the woman. The hand has fallen into her lap, and the boy lays his cold cheek uponfit and weeps. She laugh), but it is the low, horrible ha I ha ! or the maniac. "Mother, dear mother! give me one mouth ful of bread. Hain't there enough where Pn has gone?

That mother smiles as she still stares at vacancy. of at tainments a The storm has passed, and the morning lit'lit of the Sabbath dawns upon the great city. The church bells are pealing out the Sabbath melody, and gay throngs of people are vending along to the ricniy turmshen churches. Here are shawls which a queen might envy, and equipages of princely splcn ib. . Enr'y this Sabbath morning, a co'd-hearted Landlord goes up the lone stairway for the promised rent and knocks at the door which the reader lias already entered. He awaits but a fnoment and angrily enters. "No playing games with me madam. I hat itiney or leave. D'ye hear, woman?" The ruffian was used to scenes of suffering, but he started back at the one before him. That pale, haggard woman-'pectre was still seated by the lamp now burned out, (he gar ment a id needle in her hand, and that horrible smile upon her feotu es, and that wild eye gaznig into vacancy. The lamp ot life, loo, had waned during that cold dreary night, and a corpse there, holding the needle in the emaciated fingers, and smiling in death.

Tfi AmtTinn enn Arrtn rveA it f rtaitrnail ami locomotive, a dariieireotyping annatatUi. and an electric telegraph as presents to the a Emperorof Japan. An officer on board writes: The presents were taken on shore and de posited in houses built for their reception. Suitable persons were appointed to learn their use to the Japanese, lhe railroad was bunt Circular, making a circle of four miles. The telegraph they cobH not understand so well. The daeuerreotyping operation likewise filled them with wonder. Japan is not so much of a civilized country alter all. What we have seen did not come up to our expectations. Exaggeration, their own exclusiveness and mystery, have help d to give these peop e a higher stand than they are entitled to as a nation. We have found thtrh, when it was to be expected they would be most effective in the vicinity of their capital, and the oppor tunities of a year to prepare, weak and con temptible. As to the military prowess of the nation, it is absurd a more whimsical farce cannot be seen than that exhibited when they received us on shore. Their miserable at tempts at display with tawdry flasjs, racged dresses, and painted canvass, are a perfect contrast to our neat un norms and solid ranks they, with a few rusty match locks or Tower muskets, broadswords, arrows, and such rude weapons, and the Americans with everything in the perfection of science and order. The dense mass of the lower classes are servile to a disgusting degree, as they may be under the band of despotism the despotism of the learned few the peculiar despotism of ,'a pan, and a perfect system lound nowhere else on earth. The upper classes, with whom our inlecoursehss been confined almost exclusive ly, and by their own policy, too, are possessed of good manners, and a breeding not unworthy of civilized life; but a nearer acquaintance shows them corrupt, immoral, effeminate, and timid, to an offensive degree. I am unable-lo give you any information es to the resources of the country, its productions or its wants, farther than is now known. My own opinion that a Jong time will elapse before anytrade will be carried on; their wants must first be aroused, before our goods will find a ready market. The wealth of the coun try is confined among so few that a demand for valuable manufactures is very doubtful. Coal, they say, they have in abundance, and have sent specimens for our inspection; it is light ond inflammable, but indifferent and useless for sea steamers. Of gold and silver, we see plenty, ai ornaments upon swords and in their coins. Theirswords, I should remark, are worthy of all that has been written about thtm finetemper,liigh polish, and keenedgtd; the hilt beautifully ornamented with gold and ailver. The wedge which we have driven in to Japanese exclusiveness, completely and forever separates them from their old polioy; and many intelligent men who visit us. ac knowledge that they must fall into the spirit of the see. They already talk of building vessel on our models, and of visiting different parts of the worm. The great mass of com mon people seem remarkably Inendly to us, but the officers. The Japanese have no hogs, sheep, ducks, Vo., and but few cattle, which they never kill, contenting themselves with fish and vegetables. They eat no animal food. The day after the official interview, one of our marines, who had died on b 'trd ship was buried on shore, with the honors of war. This solemn event was not without its effect. It was on important point yielded by the Japan ese to ollow this burial; but when consent was once given up, they entered with obliging cheerfulness into the arrangements. Home on shore by a long procession of boats, with ensigns at half mast, a detachment of his corns in full uniform met the body ot the de ceased wi'.h presented arms, and so, "slowly and sadly they bore bim" to Ins quiet grave. in a far distant land, mid laid him beside the bones and dust of the ancestors of a people who for centuries bad closed their doois and their soil to the Christian. There in a Japan ese buryinK firound, the prayers and beautiful words for the dead were said; the pealing musketry rang over his coffin, the enrth closed over our comrade, and we relumed to cu ship, solemnly and silently.
