In the experience of even two years, I have found
great difficulty in obtaining Spectacles that wetw
w exactly adapted to the weakness of my sight. This
inconvenience Mr. Tobias seems to hare removed
lor (he present by the substitution for me of better
and more suitable Glasses. They are clear, crystallike,
and sum fort able to my eyes. I would comt

WIlTTER'a MOSES.
T Gone ia the summer with her wreaths of rosea,
The autumn winds chaunt dirges o'er her grave,
On the wet mould the dark brown leaf reposes,
in the bleak east winds barren branches wave,
.g Nothing remains of all the light, the splendor
That decked the earth as with a monarch's crown ;
Winter bath called on summer to surrender
e~ Jier sceptre, and ahe leys it, weeping down.
I hare no vaulted chamber, where, defying
jg. December's tempests, (lowers may dwell enshrined,
Bnatclied from the dark decay around them lying,
Q>- Unscathed by cold, Unshaken by the wind,
jt Mv cottage home ao crystal roof incloses,
Dt Where southern warmth gives suunmr impulse
*j i et i, too, hwre my bloonriag winter roues,
gl A wreath of light around Urn blazing hearth.
Oh, flowers of home! the bright, the ever vernal!
At The waning summer robs not your domain,
Ite Where'er yv dwell the sunshine is eternal,
u. And, when ye perish, wslcdtne winter's reign!
be Onrh.? that hgll, though wealth snd pride surround
| i'") j
ty Where your young, glowing fitces enter not,
e> And oold the hflurt, wlien ties like these hare hound
gg it,
at That turns, nnpitying, from the orphan's lot.
ut
Mr Parents! amid your cherished buds, remember
ne The desolation ' f those lonely flowers ,
>ct Whieh#dwell unsheltered in this bleak December,
nt bowed down by more thou winter's chilling showof
ers.
,te Let not the heart be closed against their sound;
to believe the olden legend of the wisela,
An angel deigned in human form to bound
re That mercy which we covet from the skies. j
:ot
gs When ye hare raised each bowed and brokeu blossom
a; Whose parent sort lies deep within the grave,
tie When ye nave filled each young and grateful bosom
n- With trust and hope (your power to soothe and
n- tave,)
an Ye shall bare faintly rendered to the Father
re A tribute lor the blessings of y ur health;
d- It is from deeds like these ihut angtls gather
oy His incense from the altars of the t at tb.

wl Then as your footsteps seek your happy dwelling,
'j wncre ngnt and laughter welcome your return,
With Hweeter mutsue shall those sounds be swelling, I
m With brighter radiance shall your hearihstoue

w And as lbs parlor twilight round yon closes,
And lire-light gleams, light e*ery flitting form,

Unscathed by want, unshaken by the stnrm!

BEARD.
"e" Several metrical attacks upon beard hare been
made duriag the past year. The beat we remember
iy to have seen is the folloing parody on Cumpbells
en ditbyerambic on Huhenlinden:
e? On manhood, when the race was yonng,
*y The beard in unshorn beauty sprung,
e" And nations felt what pouts sung?
Mun's great and matchless majesty.
118 But manhood saw another sight,
P* When fashion bade each luckless wight <
J. With lather make himself a fright,
And use the keen edged cutlery.
i With napkin near his glass arrayed,
^ Each man then drew his raaor blade.
With soup and brush a lather made,
0f To hide the dreadful butchery.
u- ,
py And whiter yet that (ace should grow,
le When all the glorious beard laid low,
10 His glass s w. nun's face shall show.
? Shorn of its manly majesty,
id ni
s The razor glides.' Befhre It fall
Jfuataehio and imperial ?
The stately beard and whiskers, all
The victim of its treach#y.
Ah! few. continue to be men,
For many even glory, when
i Each day the soapy foam again
Js made their maubood'a sepulchre.

y Anecdote of Tristam Burgess.
Oliver IT. Smith, of Ind ana, in one of his Rem*
iniftcenoes, published In the Indianapolis Journal,
tells the following story:
During the debate in Congress on the Tariff in
1828, an amendment wat offered to increase the
duty ou molasses ten cents per gallon, being an
increase of a hundred per cent, ad valorem. Its
object was to choke off the northern members,
and indirectly to kill the bilL The moment tho
amendment was announced by the chairman, in
committee of the whole, Mr. Burgess, of Rhod<?
it Island, aroso and implored the mover to whhdra*
>r it, Ho showed its effects upon the t ado between
the eastern States and the adj i?cnt islands, in
? timber and -the return fat goes of molasses, which
was the dally food of the po ?r. His speech was
abort anil to tho imiuL Aw hp took. hia aot Haair
Daniel, of Kentucky, tprmug to his feet ?nd loved
out at the top nf his voice : "Mr. Speaker, let the
constituents of the gentleman from Role Mind
v. sop t heir bread only one side in molasses, and th< y
5C arid pav the same duties they do *<> ." Mr. Banb
left, of New Hampshire, remarked to me: "Now
ly look out Ibr Tristam, Harry will citch It." Mr.
s, burgess arose, wltli fire beaming (mm lite oounteh
nanoe, and addreased the cliair. "Ihe relof pro*hl
posed by the gentleman from Kentucky is but
adding insult to injury. Does not that gentleman
j! kneir that the established haWt becomes second
a, nature, and that all laws are craet sod oppressive

y To illustrate,?what would the gentleman think of
me If I should offer an amendment that neither
s> himself nor his constituents shall hereafter have

i, of all animals partakes, in a greater or lesa degree,
pi of the food on which they are fed ? The horse is

grass. The beer (looking at Daniel, who was
a heavy, short man, dressed in s blue coat, with a
? velvet collar) will eat bog and raw hominy. You
m may domes Irate him, dress him in a hhto Coat
with a velvet collar, learn him to stand erect, awd

Villain.
In April last there came to thiaolty from Peoria
111,, a young My named Martha Van Barer. My
the death of her mother she was left an orphan
and being at the same time in ill health, owing to
constant watchf ulness at the bedside of her p irent
during a long iilneas, aho came to St. Louis In
search of an uucle who was > uppnaed to reside
here and who aha thought would siford her a home
until she could regain her strength. Upon arriving
she examined the directory, but did not find his
address. She wrote numerous Utu-is, hut noticing
they were advertised every week the knew they
did not reach hlrt}. Finally, becoming disheartened,
she reluctantly relinquished the idea of finding
hi... an.l ?i>> .Iwnt ...Mf... J- ? ? -
?..TO.?y?in Bvcmug BUIIieWUUg 10 U?. Alter
having buffeted many disappolritments she at
length obtained employment at the business of
biudiug aboea Tot one of the extensive estabtfebmeuta
in the ci'.y. It was not luwd work, and
gradually her health improved. With the return
of health to her cheek she began to think pf
returning to Peo.ia; but fearing to go baok
to the place where her mother died would start
afresh the agonizipgpain ocgasieped by her death,
she concluded it would bte beet to remain until
time should fill up the great void that the loan of
her parent bad left in her bosom.
About this period there appeared a young qua
of an affluent and respectable family, who, having
heard her story from some quarter, called upon
her told her who he was, and said h; had been
deeply iuiereeted in her welfsie, and hoped il aha
wauled assistance she would not hesitate to make
it known, and he would endeavor to enlin some of
his friends in her behalf. Miss Van Buren was
gratcfkl lor his kindness, and told him so at the
time adding that she did not need any help then,
and was getting along vry comfortably. She
thanked him sincerely for his well wishes and the
interview was ended. A few days afterwards the
same geutleinan addressed her a note in which ho
stated his f'eur that Miss Yau Bu uu had refused
assistance from motives of delicacy and on account
of his not hnvlltcr Irnnurn tn *> ' !I"
0 .... ..
her Joe had been actuated by no selfish or dishonorable
design and in conclusion begged her, if ha
could be of any aid to stand upon mo ceremony in
confessing it. To this Miss Van But en replied
as before, taking care to exouorate herself to him
of any suspicion that his coudqct was not creditable
to his heart.
Thus an acquaintance sprung up between the
rim young man and the poor youug woman. The |
former was delighted with bin new found friend.
She wus pretty modest and charming She spoka
of her dear, dead mother with a warmth of feeling
and pathos of devoted love which showed a purity
and gbilessnesfi of roul that put to blush the brazen
pretences too often met in fashionable society.
And so he to d her. They were more and more in
each other's society as time passed. A proposition of
marriage was made and act epted. But from that ?
time the young man's visits became fewer, and
bis conduct more and more reserved. To lift the
poor girl lo the elevatiou in society which he had
attained, chiefly by means of bis wealth, would be
shocking to his friuily and degrading to buusel&
W ithout a pang he deserted her aloue in the wide,
wide world, with scarce a friend. Ue did more.
He basely eland; red her good name, and boasted
of a conquest of which Ue had uevcr dared to hint
in her presence. The girl grew despondent,
weary, sad. Her health slowly declined, and last
week she died of a broken heart* though the
physician gave aoue other name for the disease.

Another Swindle.
When shall we have so end to tbs swindling
operations of members and officers of tlis late
Black "itepubliaan" and Know Nothing Congress?
of these gentlemen who set themselves up as of
superior intelligence and honesty ? The aflstys of
Matteson, Gilbert, Greelj, A Co have hardly faded
from the public mind, when we find William Culloui,
the late K. N. Cltikof tbs lloute, arraigned
by the Congressional Globe as making a$lOO.uuO
strike. During the 1moments of the term of
the Thirty-third Congress a drkcioucy bill was passed,
one prevUiou of which was au appropriation of
1128,000 "to indemnity the Clerk (Cullom) for
such sums ss he inay have expended for books fur*
nished or to be furnished to members of the House"
?but which books ho never furnUii -d, but made
arrangements with members by whiuh they w?ro
to receive s certain amount of money aud pass re*
etipft for bookis Cullom pockotiug the remainder
of the money. Soon after the acjjournrnent of Congress
It Is charged that he applied to tli# Treasury
Department for $00,000 to indemnify him for books
already supplied. His claim was refused by Mr.
Whittleay, then Comptroller, on the ground that no
vouchers were presented.
He, on the accession of Governor Mcditl to the
same office, renewed his application to him, asking
inii nine 0111 lor f 2ij,uut>.
It wm refused on the same ground that Whittleay
declined } Cullom presenting no vouchers proving
the expenditure or a single dollar Tor tbe purpoee
indicated.
The House of Representatives owes it to itself
to thoroughly Investigate thia whole subject.
