The streets are smothered in the snow,
The chill eyed staes are cleaving keen
The frozen air, and, sailing slow.
The white moon stares across the scene.
She waits beside the fading fire,
The gasping taper flickers low,
And drooping down, and raising higher.
Her shadow wavers to and fro.
No foot disturbs the sleeping floor.
No motion save the wintry breath
That stealing through the crannied door,
Creeps coldly as a thought of death.
It chills her with its airy stream,
O oold, O careless midnight blast!
It wakes her as her levered dream
Hath , skimmed the sweetness of the past.
She stirs not yet. The night has drawn
Its silent stream of stars away,
And now the inlnut streaks of dawn
Begin to prophecy the day.
She stirs not yet. Within her eye
The half crushed tear-drop lingers still;
She stirs not, and the smothered sigh
Breaks wavelike on the rock of will.
O heart that will nnneeding prove,
O heart that must unheeded break!
How strong the hope, how deep the love,
That bums for faithless lolly's sake!
For the Herald.
Kimobton, Somerset, Co., Md., March 4, 1861.
To tht Editor of tkt Rutland Herald :
la your paper dated February 7th, I noticed a
" puzzle," which puzzled m lor a few minutes, Dut
I think the following is the correct reading of it.
Once I bad money, aud a friend,
On both I set great store,
I lent my money to my friend,
And took his note therefor;
I asked my money of my friend.
And nought but words I got,
I lost my money and my friend
For sue him I would not;
If I bad money and a friend
As I had once before,
I'd keep my money and my friend,
And play the fool no more.
E. A. L.
We thank our Maryland friend for the answer to
bur " puzzle " of February 7th. Fj.

GLEN WOOD INSTITUTE.
Mr. Orcutt has happily chosen his new lo
cation in Brattleboro. This town is second
to none in the State in natural advantages.
It is surrouuded by the most pictursque hills,
and is traversed by the beautiful Connecti
cut. Its reputation is so well eataoiisiiea,
that it has become a favorite summer resort,
lor many persons seeking pleasure or health.
The inhabitants lortunaieiy appreciate ineir
favored situation. lliey have aispiayeU
much taste in their dwellings and in the abun
dance of beautiful trees, which they have
oared and cultivated. No objection could
be suggested to Brattleboro as a location for
a school, except that the summer cayeties
miht distract the attention of the pupils too
much Iroui their studies. Air. circuit nas
wth his usual thought, provided against this,
bvloeatin. his school at West lirattleboro, a
distance of two mile, yet easily accessible by
means of a coach which accommodate the
passengers of every tram, tor the trifling
sum of twenty cents, the driver takes us up
. -. m
with our baggage, ana will leave us at air.
Orcutt's door. This drive is exceedingly
pleasant. We find the road studded with
handsome country residences and neat farm
houses, so near each other that it seems al
most like a continuous village, and yet re
mote enough, so that there are no public re
sorts, and none of the bustle of business.
Now we come to West lirattleboro, with its
one hotel, two stores, two churches, the nec
essary number of physicians, Perfect
quiet prevails. The branch ot the Connec
ticut, which we have toliowed troui the otner
village, here winds around with marvelous
ingenuity, and, lise the river in the "Isle of
Calypso," seems loth to leave its enchanted
precincts. Pleasant walks and drives, in ev-
ry direction. i"v,t i. i.,i-i. i, tr.e here

much devotion to her art.
The prettiest building in the village is the
chapel of the school. It is of a warm, creamy
tint, and surrouruieu, except on uie iroui,
with a light and elegant pia-za. It contains
the lar"e room, where the whole school as
semble for religious exercises. 1 his building
also contains the recitation rooms, the paint
ing room, the gymnasium, and ten music
rooms. There are two entrances: one is
used by the pupils of the Last Hall, the other
bv those of the West Hall. The East aud
We.t Halls contain the dinintr rooms, culin
ary department, parlors, and the sleeping
and studv rooms of scholars and teachers.
Mr. Orcutt and his lainuy nave a ?u. oi
rooms in the East building. West Hall is
under the maternal supervision of a lady who
z. ' i -
has Ion" been connected with the school as a
teacher, and who. by her peculiar efficiency,
and strong hold upon the hearts of all, is well
fitted forher place. This division of the
school, while it must necessarily increase the
exnense of the boarding department, has the
recommendation oi avowing mucu lumuaiuu,
r . - Ti: u .,.,:.,
and rrivino- more of a home air, and much
home comfort to the establishment. Much
pains is taken in furnishing the table ; and,
when the parents compare the fare with that
of other similar institutions, they have much
reason to be satisfied, that this is added to
nthAr excellences. It miht at first sight seem
a disadvantage to be obliged to step trom the
boardim houses to vernations; uuisuidi nuw

fresh air, and acquire so much relish for the
element, that they do not evince tuat uismcn

did in Granville, when Mr. Orcutt had his
school there. A community so free from
n.A.U and snfferinir so little bodily, we have

WHAT IS BEAUTY '(
This question is often asked, and the gen
eral reply is, that it i whatever pleases the
eye. I do not wish to meddle with meta
physics ; but I contend there is beauty which
exists in the soul, and is peiceived only
through its actions. The symmetry of form
and features, which is termed beauty, is
gift, the same as talent ; and it is not to be
despised. There is a spirit of beauty pervad
ing the works of nature. God's finger has
touched them, and left an impression which
we term beauty ; and it speaks of him from
every pearly drop of dew, from the tiniest
blade of grass, from every leafy bower, from
the bow of promise, and from the worlds th?t
aparkio cmo ; i-l-lr ef cmon, ana ii
the milky way. No palace of eastern mon
arch, nor any work of art, can compare with
the beauties of this earth, the diamond, the
rose, or the dew drop spatkling in the morn
ing sun light.
The mind, ever watching for something
new and strange, does not perceive the beau
ties around us. They have become eoinmou
place; but they are not less real. The hour
of sunset has more to please the eye, though
it does not appeat more to our perceptions of
beauty, than any others. The sky of bur
nished gold sec ujs to cast a ppeli over the
other beauties of Nature ; and as it fades into
the calmer, softer twilight, we seem to inhale
a part of its magic. The voice of our better
nature speaks to us, drawing us from earth,
and ?e are communing with those who have
gone before. The watchful sentinels, one by
one, emerge from the darkness; and each
retains his place on his e the rial throne, until
the liuht of morning causes them to fade and
sink silently away in space. They are watch
ers that never tire ; emblems of immortality, i
lhere is a beauty ot soul, existing mchar-1
ty, gentleness, patience, justice, iutegrity.and
humility ; and ia every noble thought or ac
tion. When we see a firmness of purpose
that will not be baffi!, under circumstances
which seem to make success impossible, and
that purpose is governed by a pure and lofty
motive, there 13 associated with such a motive
an idea of the beautiful. J here was beauty
n the spirit in which the wido.v j;ve
h".r two mites: in the humility and lakh
of Moses; in the integrity of the puritan la
thers ana patriotism of the American people
n the Kevolution. Ihev were conscious of
being rght, and that was motive and secu
rity enough. Truth is beautiful. It may be
crushed or concealed, but it cannot be de
stroyed, ncr its beauty marred. Beauty is
in the "chanty "that thinketh no evil ; m the
spirit which forgives, and can feel as cheer
ful when opposed as when it is praised.
Beauty, whether of soul or form, is all ot
Heaven ; its germs are implanted m every
thinir that God hs made, iiis own charac
ter is glowing with it, and th; soul is iis tem

THE LOST AND FOITXIl.
BT MINNIE S. DAVIS.
A large and motley tjrowd had gathered t.
hear a philanthropic preacher, who felt his
especial mission to be tit the poor and erring.
There were soino respectable citieens there,
but many poor and fallen men and women,
who were starving for the brea-1 of life.
The speaker's voice was full often of pa
thos, for it flowed from t a heart of love J
pity. He spoke as to brothers and sisters.
lie told them of their Father in Heaven, and
of their inheritance on pigli. He dwelt long
upon the Infinite value ot the human soul,
and the love of Jesus who died for them.
They might curse God, but they could not
change his love; they might hide in haunts of
wickedness, but the blessed Saviour would
find them t The meanest, the vilest in his
hearing, were more precious in the sight of
the Father than all the uncounted treasures
of earth and sky. Oh, would they not turn
from the paths of sin and folly, and love and
obey that God ?
- Some smiled with wondering joy; some
wept for, the matchless story, so old yet ever
new, thrilled all heartsJ
A wretched, sin-stained woman stood at
the door of the vestibu
e. She felt unworthy
to enter and sit with the multitude, but she
hrd the words of M ' -i ,
and all tho hardness land bitterness of her
soul was softened, and blessings fell like a
mantle upon her. Lclng, long ago, she had
heard of Jesus, but it was among the half for
gotten things of her childhood. She had trod
the path of sin, and knew its horrors and woe
better than any could tell her and oh, was
it possible that she could leave it that she
could find the heaven of purity and peace!
Was she of such value in the sight of Al
mighty God ? Would Jesus find and save
her
She covered her face, while her form shook
with convulsive sobs. At that moment the
people came crowding out, and she heard the
kiri'l voice of the preacher near her. She
looked up to see his benign face, then weep
ing more bitterly than before, passed out into
the darkness.
Next morning's sun shone brightly over
the city, bringing a day of peace and gladness
to many hearts, aud one of pain and anguish
to many more. The autumn days were be
ginning to be cool, and a cheerful fire spark
led in the grate of a certain easy si'ing-room.
A grey-haired gentleman sat in the fire shine,
with his eyes closed a though he mused.
And near him a mother held a pra'tling little
girl. The mother was young, and the child
was beautiful.
'' And sure, ma'am, there's a woman in the
kitchen as would like to see ye," said Betty,
abstractly opening the door.
"Who is she, and hat does she want ?"
asked the lady, looking up from the face ol
her child, which she harl been contemplating
with idol'zing affection.
"Her name is Nancj Cole, au' uhe's a bad
woman, indeed not fit tr the likes ot ye to
spake to."
"Give her something to eat and send her
away !" 1
"But it is the lady she is after seeing, for
work to do." j
"Then tell her I have no work for such as
she," sai 1 the ladv, with a shade of annoy
ance in her tone.
"ludade, that's whai

ih a satisfied air.

Eirlv "in life Nancy1 Cole had been thrust
out into the cold and selfish woi Id. Without
the cuide of principle or the safeguards ot
home ;tii 1 friends, she easilv fell a prey to
temptation. For years she had been the
companion of vile men and women, and of
late she had fallen still lower, so that she had
no spot, however wretched, to call home.
P I'.ut hv ;ie i lent uav. providential. v she
had heard the persuasive words of the city
missionary, and she awoke to the sense of
h. r degradation and miserv. She was halt
prenzied that morning, but something like

good minister had said, that she should lay

until the hunger of her heart was more tor-
tnrin-'than her physical need.
She sought for work to keep her from star
vation and sin. but from every door she was
turned eoldiv wav. When Mrs. M ty's ser
vant told her with an expression of contempt
upon hel; honest features, that her mistress
had no work for such as she, her heart har-
,1,-neil ulith bitterness and hate.
She stole around the house and locked in
at the win. low. The old gentleman had left
the room, but the mother aud child were still
there. The lady sewing with a pensive air

The glimmer of hope went out in a storm
of passion and despair. With upraised hands
she invoked maledictions upon the moth
er and child, and then resumed her wander
ings in the streets. But she called at no more
houses; she had only dreamed a bright mock
iniz dream she could never lay her burden
of misery down, she would never try, but
would hug it close to her heart and be miser
able and wicked always !
Just at nightfall she found herself by the
brid i over the river. Even above the din
o 'machinery she could hear the rushing of
the water. Gladness was on her b rain, and

the darling in fearful anxiety. A cruel, ex
ultant joy filled her breast as she lifted it in
her arms. "They shall never find her I" she
cried aloud, eha shall sleep with me in the
liver bed. That mother scorned me, and
now I hold her baby close to my heart ! Oh,
wouldn't she speak lair to me now wouldn't
she go down on her knees and pray for mer
cy? but I'll have no mercy, even as she had
none for me !"
"I can't find my mother ; will you take lit
Aiinie May home V
What a soft pleading voice ! somehow it
softened the half insane woman, and she
smiled upon the child.
"It wiJl not hurt the little one," she thought,
"the water will seem cold only for a moment
and then iu happy mother will know what
misery is !"
Annie's wistful, frightened blue eyes looked
confidingly into the pale, haggard face of
Nancy Cole. " Please take me home," she
lisped in touching accents.
Nancy slowly shook her head.
"I know you will take little Annie home !"
and the loving child flung her arms around
her neck and pressed her fresh, rosy lips uon
her hollow cheek.
That caress, that kiss, the fragrant breath
mingling with hers, changed her cruel pur
pose in an instant. She could not harm a
ojugie nair oi i the little neaa. rn
take you home," she said, with a revulsion of
leeling. "I will tell your proud mother that
I hate her, and unwillingly I bring a blessing
instead of a curse to her home."
At that moment she heard a watchman
cry, "A child is lost ! a girl three years old
missing since noon blue eye and curly
hair had on a piuk dress and white aprcn
a child is lo.it!"
Nancy wrapped little Annie in her own
tattered shawl and hurried along the way,
never faltering an instant, though she was
worn with excitement and long abstinence.
She had found the child, but felt no joy in
the thought of that which she was to im
part to others, only a spiteful, unholv sense
of triumph, that the woman who had scorned
er should owe her so much !
Mrs. May had grown quite wild with anx
iety and fear. "Oh, Bettv," she said to her
servant girl, "it is night, and my dsrling is
not found ! I will go out and search lor her
again, I will not stay here inactive."
-Jetty wiped her eye, saying, "I am cure.
ma'am, the sweet crayther will be found, and
the master told ye to stav here and take care
of her when they bring her home."
"ISut it seems to ma that I could find her
before anybody el-e ob, where i my little
Annie who will take care of her to-night V
hark, somebody is coaling ia 'tis my d.r
Lng, I hear her voice!"
Nancy Cole staggered into the mom with
her precious burden and sank down exhaus.-
:d.
The mother clasped Ler child in silent
ransport, and Betty exclaimed, and wiped
her eyes vigorously.
Heaven biesj yu for bringing my datlmg
home ! where did you find her if" said Mrs.
May to Nancy.

Is it possible are you the woman who

It was a moment ot jov and surprise, and

This is the person we must thank and re

awav down ov the bridge and brought her to

But Nancv shrank awav from their cordial
and grateful words. She knew the grav

had moved her so strangely. He in her eves
was so noble and exalted that she ieit un
worthy even to breathe the same atmosphere.
She drew her shawl about her and rose to
depart.
"Don't go now !" said Mrs. May, gently de-
t lining her. "Look at fie-, father: she is the
one I sent awav this morning. Has she not

"God bless vou, mv good woman !" and the
ol J gentleman took her hand in his and look

Nancv trembled and cried, "I am not good

"I 'nor woman, tin? sha 1 be vour home, we
will be your friend-, and we will help you t

Still the wretched woman looked into fhe
kindly lace of the old man. "I heard von

"Yes. father." said Mrs. Mav, "she won!

instead."
"And now the blessing shtll return to

At this moment Annie went to her side

A TOUCHING stoutT
The fbl'uywinj beautiful incident is told br
Pomeroy, of the La Crowe (Wis.) Union and
Democrat, in a late editotial correspondence,
from Dunkirk, New York
" On the train Last night which left Chi
chago on the Pitubors and Fort Wame road.
here was a touching incident that showed
Km.0 noonday mb, the deep and
la-tin'? l?e of sister. There was on board,
ia the aePin? car Toag fro Al
bany, NOw York, the only aister of a pale,
emaciated ,'nvaJid who lay on a couch, the
motion of the cars as it seebied, hastening
with a sort of ,ager tremble the Life from
him. . A little over four years since, duty, as
he thought, called him from the store in which
he waa engaged, to Kansas. He thought
some one there might be in danger he went
forth concluded to make hu home there
bravely toiled till he fell ck with consump
tion, and sent at last for Li suiter, a girl of
about twenty, and his only living relative, to
come and ka the death damp from hu brow.
She went, and her gentle care seemed to re
vive him, till be determined to set hu face
towards the east and there seek health, or a
quiet grave beside his mother.
They started, but the travel was too much
for his wasted energies, and at Chicago be
was carried on board the train, and laid in
the berth, as though he were an unconseioua
infant A he lay there, pale and coughing,
it was beautiful to see with what holy, sister
ly devotion would that girl watch beside him,
fearful least a wiah might be formed, but yet
unbreathed, that she did not anticipate, febe
wiped the clammy perspiration from his pale
brow. She gently smoothed back hi camp
hair, and softly kissed hi reheul aa she
bent over him. At timet he would rally a
little, and ask bow far they had come, and
then sink back exhausted. Passengers gath
ered about, ready and anxious to relieve him,
but it was little they could da At time be
would, as be turned bis weary bead and
closed his aching eyes, mutter "OA how tloto
I never shall see my borne V" About mid
night he abked the conductor "how last they
were going '"
About thirty miles an hour."
"And I am going fatter tftaf he
muttered half unconsciously, as he opened
bis eyes and turned his head which lay in the
lap of bis sister, so he could the better look
up into her moistened eye.
A little past one, be asked his sister the
hour. She told him. A few moments later
he reached out his skeleton hand to place
within bers, and almost whispered, "ira me,
iiiiler, before I deep," and closed his eyea.
Slowly the muscles of his neck relaxed, his
head fell gently to one bide a though he was
sleeping, his fingers loosed their scarcely per
ceptible grasp, and he lay there as quiet a a
babe on its mother's breast. He wj dead !
While the can were hurriedly bearing him
to the home he so longed to see, his spirit too
impatient to wait tbe rapid pulsation ot the
engine, had left the body, and gone to fiod a
mother in the invisible world. While the
cars were rumbling along at a rate ot speed
fearfd, if one stop to think of it, death had
overtaken, entered, and borne cfl in triuniph
a victim, and hastened on for another one.
There were more tear abed last night than
those that fell Lke rain fro2 the eyes of the
tired, wearied and loving tister. fbo car
seemed to become -till silent as death, as
aind friends gently laid his bead down from
her lap, and led her weeping away. There
were tearful e-yes, moistened cheeks, aud
trembling hands, ready to do all that could
Pe done tor ih- deserted prison hou of Ihe
Hung spirit, and there were kind words, but
none loo kind lor ihe sister who cow at ood
alone in thi world. And there were those
preaent who gladly volunteered lo take
charge of and accompany both ihe dead aui
living to the home now completely desolate.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A "GOOD
EDlTOPw"
The editor of tbe Alexandria Gazette gives
expression to a truism teat tnoui i ue reau
and ponderel over by Us oretnren oi every
locality. Notwithstanding that the b.lk of
rbe Press of tbe Union is conducted with a
degree of tact that is really remarkable, vet
too many are managed on the verbose "
principle ; and lor tbe special Decent ot those
whom the " eboe pinches we reprint nis
Franklin-like hints in a con-pkuous column.
Manv people estimate the ability ot a
newepaiter. and the industry and tlent of its
editor by fhe quantify of editorial matter
which it contains, it is comparatively an
easv task for a troth writei to pour out daily
columns of wcrda words upon any and all
ubieeta. Hi ideas uav now in " one wear.
washy, everlasting flood," and his command
jf langaage may enai le mm to string mem
o "ether like bunches ol cnions, and yet lis
Ai.er wav be a meager and poor concern.
Uut what "is the labor and toil of such a man,
who displays his 44 leaded matter " ever so
1 . .i . . i: . 1 1
ar.'elv, to that imposed on le judicious,-c
nlormed editor, who exercises h;s vocation
with an hourly consciouws of refponsibil-
tiea and devotes himself to the conduct ot
his paper with the -an a care and assiduity
that a sensible lawyer bestows upon a suit, or
a humane physician upon a patient, without
rear! to show or display V Indeed tbe mere
f . j ' . I -. . 1 1
writing part ol editing a paper is um m i-iu
portion of the work. The care and the time
empIOVCd in eiecun; i.i us-
matter, and the fact of a good editor is better
thown by his selections than anytning euse.
and that we know is half tbe tattle. Hut, as
we have said, the editor ought to be etdtmat-
e 1. and appreciated by the general chat acter
of his pajser, its tone its temper its uni
form consistent course its unm-ipi ...
aims its manliness its dignity iu propri
ety. To preserve these as they thould te
preserved isenougti to occupy i- j- -
and attention of auy man. If to this U aoded
tbejiencral sutiernsion of the newspaper s-
tabliehment, which most eu.. ; -
counter, the wonder is how they can find
time or room to write at all.
