Pocten,
MAIDEN WORTH.
BY CHAREERS SWAIN, OF ENGILAND,
Her home was but a cottage home,
A simnple homne and small ; 9
Yot sweeiness and affection made
It seem a fairy hall !
A little taste, a little care,
Made humble things appenr
As though they were transiated there,
From some superior sphere ;
Her home was but a cottaze home,
A simple home, and sinall,
Yet sweetness and affsction made
It weem a falry ball.
As sweet the home, so sweet the maid,
As graceful and as good
Bhe seemed a I'ly in the shade,
A violet in the bud !
She had wealth, hut maiden worth,
A wealth that's hittle fame ;
Yet thai’s the truest gold of earth—
T'he other’s hut a name !
Her home was but a cottage home,
A simple home, and small,
Yet sweetness and affection made
It seem a fuiry hall,
A cheerfulness of sonl, that threw
A sm'le o'er every lask,
A willingness, that ever flew
To serve, ere one could ask !
A sometliing we could wish our own,
A humble floweret, born,
To grace 'n its dejree a throne
Or any rank adorn !
Her home was but a cottage heme,
A simple home, and small,
Yet sweotness and affaction made
1t seem a fury linll,
MORAL POWERS.
Eagle of the tire'ess pinin,
Upward to thine ey rie hie,
'Mid the crags where sounds the thnnder,
With its hoarsest ineiody.
Emblem of the daring #pirit,
When it wanes its latent might,
And for action douh'y harnessed,
Battles sternly fur the right.
Where the craven-hearted linger,
And desponds the gloomy soul,
There the brave at once joih issue,
And relentless fale control.
Who would warble out existence,
Like a song-bird in the bower,
Heedless that he has within him,
Eiements of moral power?
Breaking on the shore of being.
Wio wouid as the wavelet die ?
When he could have won distinetion,
With the single heart to try ?
Then be up and dream no longer,
Mauuly purpases avow,
And with grent design accomplished,
Bind the chaplet to thy biow.
LAST WISHES OF A CHILD.
BX JAMES T, FIKLDS,
**A'l the hedges aie in bloom,
And the warim west wind 1s blowing;

Let me go where fluwers are growing,
Look ! my cheek is thin and pale,
And my pul-e 1s very low
Ere my sight begmns to fail,

Was not that the robin’s song,

On the orchard 1 ust look,
Ere my beating pulse is stll,
Faint and fainter grows my breath—
Bear me quickly down the lane !

Still the hedges are in bloom,
And the warn west w nd is blowing—
BLill we sit in silent gloom
Qer her grave the grass is growing.

THE OPERA OF OTHELLO.
ATEUE STORY.
Rossist reachied Naples. preceded by a
great reputativn. The first person he ene
. vountered when he stepped out of the stage,
was the impregario of San Carlos. Barbaja
recenved the maesiro with open arims and heart,
and, withou' giving him time (o take a step or
(o sav a sunmgle word @
‘1 come to make you three offers,’ said he,
sand 1 hope you will nat reject anv of them.'
*Well!" replied Rossivi, with lus shrewd
sm le.
‘1 offer my pal .ce for your use, and that of
your people.’
‘I accept your offer.’
‘Lotier my table 1o you and your friends.’
’
‘accept
‘I make you an offer for a new Opera.’
‘I do wot aceept.’
*What! do vou refuse to work for ine 1’
‘For you and everybody else. |do not in
tend to compose any more music.
*You are mad, dear sir.’
‘lt is 28 | have the honor to say.'
*And for what have you come to Naples 7’
*l hare come to eat imacaroni and take ices.
It is my passion.’
‘I will have ices prepared for you by my
confeciioner, who is the first in Toledo street.
I will prepare macaroni myself, such cs never
passed your lips. But you must give me an
Opera in exchange.
*We shall see.’
“T'ake oue month, two months, six moaths,
any (ime you may desire.’
*Sav 81X monihs.’
‘Ag'fnd.’
*Let us go to supper.’
On the same ewe}n'mgrlher palaece of the im-
presario was placed at the disposal of Rossini.
The proprictor complerely eclipsed himself,
and the celebirated maesiro made himsell at
home, io (he striciest sense of the word. Ali
the friends, orevensimple acquaintances whom
lie encountered, were without ceremony invit
ed to Barb ja's table. of which Rossini did the
honors with perfect freedom. He sometimes
complained that he was unable to find a suf-
ficient number of friendstoinvite to his host's
entertanments ; and if, notwithstanding all
his efforis not more than twelve or filteen were
assembled, he regarded it as a dull time.
B irbaja, fatthful 1o the part of cook, which
he had imposed upon himself, invented new
dishes every duy ; empiied the oldest bottles
o his eelar, and feasted all the adventurers
who i Ross 01 was pleased to bring with him,
as 1t they were his (ather's oldest friends. =
Tow.rd the end of the repast, however, with
an sy air, and a soale on his hip, he would
s'ipin a word with regard to the promised
Opera. and the bnllisnt success which must
follow 1s producaon. But, notwithstanding
the address and delicacy with which the han
est inpresario reannded hs guest of the debt
he hiad eontracted, the words prodiced an
excesdingly nopleas vt effect upon the ma
estio : ond Barbaji, whose presence had. un
nlthen, heen tolerated, was politely desired
by Rossini 10 absent himsell from the desert.
Mouths rolled by ; the libretto had been
completed for some time, and siili the coin
poser gave no evideace ol any intention to en
ter upon his work. To dinners suceseded
promenades : to promenades, champaigo par.
ties. Hunting, fishing and riding. divided Ihe
time of the nuble masier, but nothing was said
whout @ single note. Barbaja fel: furious a
dozen Yines duily, and wag tempred 1o break
viiinto open rupturey but he contyolled him
sell, fur ne one hind greater confidence in the
incomparable genius of Rossini. He kept si
lent lor the space of five months, with the
most exemplary resignation. But on the
morning of the first day of the sigily mouth,
peresiving that he had no more time 1o lose,
he diew the maesiro aside and began the fol
lowing conversation g
‘Do vou know, my dear friend, that twenty.
nine doys, ouly, of the time figed, are remain.
g ¥
*What time 1 said Rossini, with an expres.
sion of countenance like that of 3 man 10 whom
some i compreliensible question had been ad
diessed by mistake,
“T'he thirtieth of May.'
“T'he thirtieth of May »
Same pratomime.
*Have you not promised me a new Opera 1o
be performed on that duy "
*Ab! | heve promised, have | 1
‘ltis unoeeessary to appear surprived !* ex
clsimed the impresario, whose patience wae
completely exhausted. ‘1 have waited patient-
Iy.counting upon the extrerne (acility of produc:
tion with which [leaven Las gilied you; but
it is impessible to wait any longer. I must
have my Opera,’
‘C'ould not some old Opera be re-arranged
with a new title 1’
r *Can you thiok of such at hing? What
willbecome of all the artistes engaged express
ly to perform io a new Opera !
‘Fine them.'
*And the publiec ¥
*Close the theatre.'
‘Aod the king Y
‘Hand o your resignation.’
‘All that 18 true up to a certain point. Bt
though neither the artistes, the public, nor
the king himself, could force meto keep even
my promise, yet [ have given my word, sir,
and Dominico Barbaja has never yet been
known to violate Lis wurd of honor.'
*T'hat makes a difference.’
*You'il promise me then, to commence your
work to-morrow !’
“T'o morrow, impossible! | am engaged
apon a fishing excursion at Fusaro.’
*Very well," said Barbaja, burying his hands
io his pockets ; *let us say no more about it.
| see the couise which remains for me to
pursue.’ . i =
~ Aud he went away without another word
In the evening Rossini supped with a fine
appetite, and did honor 1o the good things
of the impresario, as if he had entirely forgot
ten the warm words of the mornieg. Ou re
tiring he directed hie servant to rouse Lim ut
day break, and have in readiness a boat to take
him to Fusaro ; after which hesleptthesleep
of the just,
Ouw the next day the hour of twelve struck,
upen the five hundred clocks of the happy
city of Naples, and Rossint's servant had nat
yet gone up to his master's chamber. The
sun'srayspierced throughthe blinds. Rossini
woke with a start, and sitting up in bed, rub
bad his eyes, seized the bell cord and pulled ;
the cord broke away and remained in his hand,
tle called from the window, which look
ed down upon the court, but the palace was
as silent as the tomb. He tried the door of
his chamber, but the door resisted hisefloits
it was fastened on the ouiside ! Rossimi then
returned (o the window and shouted, *Help,
treachery, murder!" and had the satisfaction
ot hearing echo reply to his eries. There
rematned but one resource, which was to jump
from the fourth story to the ground. To the
creditol Rossinh icmust be said, how ver, that
this idea never, for a moment, entered his head.
After a short time B übaja showed s eot
ton cap at the window of the third story. Ros
sint, who had not left his window, was lemt
ed to launch o tile at him, but he contented
himself with pouring down the most biter
nprecations upon his head.
‘Do you wish anything 7' asked the impres
drin, 10 A tapntalizing tone,
‘I wish to leave my room instantly.’
*You can come vut when your opera is
complered.’
‘But this is an arbitrnry sequestration.’
*You may call it arbitrary il you choose,
but § must have my Opera.’
‘I will complam 10 all the artistes, and we
shall see the resull.’
‘1 will fine them.’
‘I will inform the public.’
‘I will close the theatre.'
‘I will go to the king himself.’
‘I will hand in my resignation.*
Rossini perceived that he was taken in his
owa nets, and suddenly changing Ins tone and
manner, said in a calm voice ;
‘| take the jest and am not angry; butsiace
your pleasantry has had its course, may 1 ask
ahen | am 1o be liberated !’
*When | shall have received the last scene
of the Opera. replied Barbaja, raising his cap.
*Very well, send this evening for the ever
ture.’
lo the evening Barbaja punctually receivel
somesheets ol music upon which were written
in large characters : *Overture to Othello. '
His ssloon at the momeut when the first par
cel from the prisoner was delivered, was filled
with performers of celebrity. The new chef.
d'wuvre was deciphered and performed on the
piano. It was concluded that the composer
was not a man, hut some supernatural heing
who created at will. Barbaja, whom happi
ness rendered almost mad, lore the morceau
from the hands of the admirers, and seot it at
once to the copyiste. The next day a new
parcel was received, labelled, ' First Act of
Othello.” T's, also, was seat immediately to
to the copyists, who jerformed the duty with
that mute and passive vhedience to which Bar
baja had accoustomed them. In three days
the whole of Othello had been delivered and
copied.
The impresario was overwhelmed with de
light. He thivew himself upon Rosini's neck,
made athousand sincere and louching excuses
for the stratagem he had been compelied 10
employ, and begged him to complete his work
by attending the rehearsals.
‘I will Lear the singers repeat the r part at
their own houses,’ smid Rossiui, with a care
less air. *As to the members of the orches
tra, I will do them the hovor 10 receive them
at my room.'
*Very well; my presence is not necessary,
and [ will admire your chetd’ @uvre at the gen
eral rehewrsal. Ouvce more, | pray vou 1o
pardon me for the eonurse | have pursued,’
- N taword more of that or | shall be of
fended '
*Wae shall meet at the general rehisarsal *
‘Yes, at the general rehearsal.’
The day of the genaral lehearsal arrived at
last; it was the one before the notable thiri
eth of May, which had been the cause of such
a panic to Barbaja. The singers were at their
posts, the musicians took their places in the
orchestra, and Rossini seated himsell at the
piano. A few ladies of rauk and some privil
eged gentlemen occupied the boxes. I'he
triomphant Barbaja, radiant with joy, walked
up and down the boards of his theutre, whist
ling with delight.
The overture was plaved. Applause al.
most frantic shook the roof of the St. Chrles?
Rossini rose and bowed. .
‘Bravo !" ¢ned Barhija. *Let us pass to
the cavatina of the tenor.’
Roussinireseated bimsell at the piano; every
one was silent; the leader ol the orchestra
raised his bow, and then recommenced the
overture. Plaudits, more enthusistic then
before, it it were possible, greeted the con
clusion of this mouicean. Rossini rose and
bowed.
‘Bravo ! bravo ! repeated Barbaja ; but let
us now pass (o the cavatina.
T'he orchestra again commenced and play
ed the overtu @ for the third time,
‘All this is very charmning,' cried Barbaja,
hecom nz exasperated, ‘but we have not time
to remain here ni'l 1o morrow. Come, to the
cavatina,'
Butin spite of the injunction of tha impres
-4110 the orchestra again commenced playing
the overtuce, Barbuju rushed towards the
leader, and seizing him by the collur, cried
out ;
*What is the matier with you? You have
played the same thing for an hour
*We play what has been given ue,’ retnrn
ed the leader with a phlegm which would have
Jdone honor to a (Ferman.
‘But turn the leaves, simpleton "
‘We have turned them all over—th-re is
nothing but the overture.
‘What! nothiog but the everture? eried
the impresario, growing pale; there is, then,
some atrocious mystery !’
Rossini rose and bowed. Barbaja fell mo.
tionless into @ chair. The prima-donna, the
tenor, and everybody, pressed around him.—
For « moment he seemed to have suffered
stroke of apoplexy. Rossini grieved that his
pleas ntry had (aken such a serious turn, ap
prosched him with much uneasiness. Bot at
thej-ight of him, Barbsja bounded up like a
lion, nnd shouted out in his loudest voice ;
‘Get away, traitor! or [ shall be tempted 1o
commit sume excess.’
‘Stop ! stop ! svaid Rossini smiling, *is there
no remedy "
*What remady, heartless wreich? Is not
to-morrow ¢vening the time for the first rep
resentation I
~ *T'he prim donna has been takenill !" mur
mured Rossini in the ear of the impresario.
On the following day a notice appeared stat
ing that the first representation of the Opera of
Othello, at the St. Charles T'heatre, was post
ponad on account of the indisposition ot the
prima-donna.
Eight days after, the Opera of Othello was
performed ; the whole world is now acquaint
ed with it, and with regaid to it, we have no
thing mare 1o add. Eight days had been suf
ficient to enable Rossiuito complete his chel
d'wuvre,
APIECE OF LEGAL ADVICE.
Rennes, the ancient Capital of Brittany, is
a tamous place for haw. People coms there
from the extremines of the country to get in
formation and ask advice. To wvisit Rennes
without getting advice appears impossible (o
a Breton. I'his was true at the latter end of
the last century, just as it is at present, and
espectally among the country people, who are
a timid and cautious race.
Now it happened one day that a farmer
named Barnard, having come 1o Rennes on
husiness, bethought himselt that as he had a
few hours to spare, it would be well to employ
them in geting the advice of a good lawyer.
He had olien heard of Monsieur de la Ger
mondaie, who was in such high repute, thu
people believed a lawsuit gained when he un
dertook their cause. ‘l'he countryman inquir.
ed for his address, and proceeded 1o his house
in Rue St. Georges. The clients were nu
‘merous, and Bernard had to wait some time, |
At length his turn wrvived, and he was intro
duced. M. Potier de ta Germondaie signed
to him to be seated; then taking off his spec
tacles, and placing them on his desk, he re
quested to know his business.
*‘Why, Mr. Lawyer,” said the firmer twirl.
ing his hat, *1 have heard so much about you, |
that, as 1 have come 1o Rennes, | wish 10 toke
the opportunity of consuliing you.'
S thank you for your confidence, my friend ;
you wish to bring an action, perhaps ' i
*An action! oh. I hold that in übhorrence ! |
Never has Pierre Bernard had a word with
ny one.’
*l'hen itisa settlement—-a division of prop- |
erty I' |
‘Excuse me, Mr. Lawyver, my (amily and |
have never mode a division. seeimng that we all
draw from the sume well, as they say.’
*Weil, it is 10 negotiate a purchase or a
sale?
*Oh, no; 1 am neither rich envugh to pur
chase, nor poor #»nough to sell!”
*Will you tell me what von want of me Y
soitd the lawyer with surprise,
‘Why | have already lold you, Mr. Law.
ver," repiied Bevoorl, 1 want yoor advice
for payment, of course, as 1 am well able to
give it to you, and 1 dout wish to lose this
apportunity.’
‘M. Pouer took a pen and paper uud asked
the countryman his name.
‘Pierre Bernard,! replied the latter, quite
happy that he was at length understood.
‘Your age?
*Thirty years, or very near it.’
*Your vocation 1’
‘My vocation? Oh, that means whatl de?
I am afarmer.’
The lawyer wrote two lines, foldad the pa
per, handed it to his sirange client,
‘s it finished already ! Weli aud good.—
Whatis the price of that advice, Mr. Lawyer !’
‘Three (rancs !
Bermard pad the money, and took his leave,
dehighted thit he had wuken advantage of his
upportanity.
When he reached home, it was four o'clock ;
the journey had fatigued him, and he deres
mined to rest himself the remamnder of the day.
lo the meantime the hay had been Iwo « ivs
cut, and was completely curved. QOoe of the
working men came to ask il it should ve
drawo in.
*What, thisevening 7' exclaimed Ihe farm
er's wife, who had come in to meet her hus
band. ‘lt would be a pity toe commence the
work so late, since it ¢can be done toemorrow
without any inconvenience.” The man ob
jeected that the weather might change: that
the horses were all ready, and the haods idle.
But the farmer’s wife rephed that the wind
was in a good quarter, and that night would
sct in before the work could be completed
Benard, who had been listening (0 the argn
ment, was uncertain which way 10 decide,
when he suldenly recollected that he had the
Liawyers advice in his pocket.
*Wait a minute,” he exclaimed ; I have an
advice=and a funous vne too—that 1 paid
three (rancs for; 1t ought to tell us what to
do. Here Theresa, sce what it says: you
can read written hoand better than [.°
The wuman took the paprr and lead these
lines—='NEVEß PUT OFF TILL TO=MORROW
WIHAT YOU CAN Do TO DAY,
‘Thavs ! exclvimed Bernard, struck with
@ sudden ray of light. *Come, be quick; get
the carts and away, boys, girls, all to the hay
field !
His wife ventured a few inore objections, hut
he declared he had not bought a three-franc
uptnion to make no use of il, and he would
follow the lawyer's advice. He himsell se:
the example by (aking th= lead in the work,
and not returning till «ll the hay was brought
in. T'he event seemed to prove the wisdom
of his conduct, for the weather changed dur
ing the night; an unexpected storm burst
over the valley ; and 'he next morning it was
found that the river had overflowed. and car
ried away ail the hay that had been left in the
fields. T'he crops of the neighboring farmers
were comoletely destroyed ; Betrand alone had
not suffered
The success of his first experiment gase
him such faith in the advice of the lawyer,
that from that day forth, he adopted it as a
rule of his conduet, and breame, by his ordey
and ailigence, one of the richest (4rmers in the
country. He never furgot the servica done

WILDER'S PATENT SALAMANDER IRON
SAFES,
MANUFACTURMD BY
SILAS C HERRING, New York
A TRIAL was made before a Committee of emiment Mer
chants at the foot of Wall street, New-York, for the
purpose of !ellin? the fire-proof qualities of Wilder’s Patent
Salamanderr Safe, as compared with those claimed for
Jesse Delano’s, C. J, Gayler's Patent Double, and Scott’s
Patent Ashestos Bafe. The subjoined extract from the
Committee’s Report, with the names of the gentlemen who
rendered that decisive verdict attached, presents clearly and
concisely the result of the experiment,
EXTRACT,
The above was a fair trial, and was tous a convineing
proof of the superiority of the Salamunder Bafe over all oth
ers; and considering that it was exposed to an intense heat
tor a period of eight hours, while each of the others were
destroyed by the same heat in less than two hours, We
have no hesitation in saying, that we consider Wilder's
Salamander Safe really fire-proof, and affording perfect se
curity to books and papers in case ol hre. We therefore
take much pleasure in making this statement to the publie,
and in recommending to them Wilder’s Patent Salamandey
Safe, as fully entitled to their confidence.

CAUTION.
AB my Spanish Lustral and Medicated Hair Preservative
has acquired a Ligh reputation, and is almost universal-
Iy used for promoting the growth and preserving and beauti
fying the hair, nnmfwr article has been brought before the
public under the same name, but emirely different in its
composition and effect, and [ hereby caution the public not
to be taken in by it, but always to inguire for “Camm »
Spanish Lustral” and use no other, if they wish to be se
cure from deception. The Ingrodfenu, and a portion of
them can only be obtained from the Sparish markets, and
the manner of compounding the Lustral are known only to
myself, the secret having been communicated to me 1%
yoars since by a distinguished surgeon in Ed nburgh, Sco:»
land, and was by me introduced to the public for the fir-t
time. My flrnni-h Lustral may be known by its bright gold
on color, being free from all coloring matter which is al
ways injurious to the hair, and { would caution the public
not to use any article of red color for the hair, as it must
tend to injure it very mnterhl!,y, and above all to purchase
no article bearing the name of Spanish Lustral unless my
name is attached to it, as all others are vile imitations, cai
culated to deceive those who are unacquainted with the
genuine and highly approved Camm’s Spanish Lustral.—
