Come home my wandering thoughts awhile, And turn thyselves within And see how many ways Go* takes, To bring us to our end. The Lord hath sent to us again, By his Almighty hand And from our side has taken away, One of our little band. 8Stf O S E One Thursday, in the afternoon, That sad and mournful day Four little boys went to the woods, To gather nuts and play. It was their intent to fall a tree It being very late Poor little souls, they could not see What was one of their fate. The boy was chopping on the tree, When it began to crack A dry tree leaned against the same, And instantly slid back. It fell, and struck him on the head, Me instantly did fall The children seeing what was done, They loudly for help did call. But when they saw no help was near, Unto the house theytied And all crying as they went, Phileman, he is dead!" The news unto his parents flew, Their hearts with grief werefilled And crying, Oh Lord must it be so, That my poor child is killed." They took the sufferer in their arms, And brought him to his friends With bitter cries, and streaming eyes, They met his weeping triends. He lived from four 'till ten at night No hand his life could save, His anxious friends sweeping round, Could not save him from the grave. For God did take him to himself, His unknown power to show to us louder than words, To be prepared to go. He was a lovely little boy, Not far from ten years old He was the choice of all his friends, But now is dead and cold. A word unto his parents dear Prepare to meet your son And children you must be prepared To go where he has gone. His sermon preached by Elder Gray, We laid him in the ground. Farewell, Phileman, fare you well, Until the last trump shall sound. It is the Lord will come and take The children of his love Oh may we all then, be prepared To meet with him above. Jewelry, Bed Wing, Minnesota. BESSI E ELMORE Bessie Elmore was my cousin. She is my cousin now,but she is not Bessie Elmore, though she is the same Bes sie. Bessie was not a "flirt"—at least not a wicked or heartless one but certain it is, that, until she was subjugated, she had always a captive in her train. Let no one suppose that she was a gentle, sentimental, long ringleted lair one. Gentle she was not, nor isthrough, now, unless the winds and waves of foreign lands have strangely changed her, though none could falfill the ten der ministrations of woman with a softer grace. She spent a summer with me a year or two after her mother died, and long talks we had—of things in heaven and things on earth for there was nothing into which we did not dabble. Love and marriage came in for a share of attention and Bessie's indig nation grew hot and high as as weardent, discussed the mairied lite of many of our acquaintances, wich exemplified what she called the popular ideas of marriage. "A man expects his wife to fulfill all the duties of a housekeep or, and often of a cook and seamstress to yield to all his Ugliest wishes 'with sweet attractive grace*' to smile upon him whenever he comes into her pres ence, however ill or weary she may be never to put forth her own wishes and above all, never to be entrusted with a family purse, but meekly to ask for a 'sixpence to buy me an apron!" At this point of illustration Bessie's holy wrath rose past fever heat, and wafirmed only expressed by fierce "snorts'* and tossing* of her round shoulders,which took the place of words to those who knew her. One day in August my brother Joe camo in, having been "down street," in village parlance, and of course be ing "posted" on all matters. Bessie," said he, "one of your beaux has followed you here—Mr. Browing, Harry Browning. I just left him he came in town last night— 'has business iu this section of thechord country,' he says but lawyers have business in all secttons,I think." Bessie turned to me: "Now is your time, I've always told you he was your man it is all coming right." *'Well done, Queen Bess!" said Joe "yon speak as if he were yours to give —one of your subjects. You area genuine specimen—the *reai' coquette." "Ah Joe, you should not give me Minnesota Forever. RED WING, GOODHU E COUNTY, MINN., WEDNSDAY, APRIL 24, 1861. more than, my share of sins. I'm in nocent here. lie is one of your solemn chaps. I've always told" Annie she could have him. He doesn't take kindly to such butterflies as I the strong-minded female is his ideal and she made low bow at my feet "Settle it between yourselves, girls, and don't come to Mows. He told me he should call this afternoon and Joe went ouL He opened' the door, put inmight his hcad—^Don't be too much set up, young Indies, it "was% otfly because 1 urged him!" and he made his final exit, a stream of exclamations, ques tions, and laughter following him thro' the hall. The afternoon brought with it Mr.the Henry Browning, and also a discovery. After the introductions were accom plished, and we,comforlably arranged, were launched upon the social scat, 1 missed Bessie. Where was she? She had a peculiar charm of conversation, by which she could make herself'if she choose, equally agreeable to old andour young, and was always to be relied on in chance calls. Had she gone out of the room? No. She sat close by, listening with perfect well bred at tention to our discourse. Whenever Mr. Browning addressed himself te her, she responded just as any nice, pleasant young lady would do, but not at all like my cousin Bessie. The truth flashed upou me with such quick ness that I, meek, innocent, blushed like any rose while Mr. Browning was making some veery unimpressive re mark about elm trees and seemed a little surprised at my* susceptibility. I regained myself with as little delay as possible, and answered him. Mean time, I thought ot what might and might not be, It was discovered by my father th&t Mr. Browning had a great eye forsick farming,and by my mother that he was a zealous politician and thus, between them, he had a general invitation at our house at all times and seasons, of which ho availed himself. Agreeable at first, he continued to improve upon acqi aiutancc. He did sometime have a very solemn air. Bessie used to say he was then sitting in judgment upou onr follies. Meanwhile the long .August days, filled each with sunshine and dying in purplo mist, melted into each other and passed away.' ""Many of-their hours were spent with Mr. Browning. He was a college friend of Authur El more's, and. as a consequence every vacation had brought him home with Authur for a day or two so they were old acquaintances. I knew many of Bessie's admirers: they were still her fast friends. We always spoke of them by brief titles ("Will," "Lewis," "Buel," etc.) but never, through all my kuowlcdge of her, had she spoken of this acquaintance otherwise than "Mr. Browning." Her manner to him was pleasantly cordial—precisely what it would have been to any friend and cotemporary of her father's,except that it lacked the reverence which superior age would have received from her. For if his opinions differed from hers, or ever approached, as she thought, toward the verge of mean ness of any sort, or displayed a false taste, the crust of reserve was broken and her indignation revealed itself iu varied wit, ridicule, and irony. But when he revealed a lofty man liness, keen intellect, or any deep feeling, Bessie sat calmly listening, her eyes industriously bent upon her needle-work, with which she fortified herself and sometimes she slightly averted her face, as if 6he disturbed her self-control. In a word, while in his presence she completely transform ed herself, and was, to all intents and purposes, another person, and not my great-hearted Bessie. I was thoroughly vexed at her. But remon strances would have been useless, if I possessed the daring to attempt it. For, open as the day about everything else, and peculiarly attractive to those she loved and trusted in her unreserv ed and thrilling revelation of herself, ou this subject I could easier scale the Andes than have uttered a word. Indeed she so perfectly assumed that there was no "subject she talked ot him, when abeent, so precisely as if he were a middle-aged friend of her fath er's, that I was often completely baf fled but then the next interview con mc in my first opinion. I passed many unhappy hours that summer in thinking of her. For, not withstanding her gayly-careless air whenever he was talked of or present, there were times, and- they increased in number and in anguish,- when she was very wretehed. She used often to sit at the end of the piano, while 1 in the long summer twilight, would play, at her decree, some of those bits of Beethoven which have in their deep and mazy wanderings such strong, passionate life and longing, and for the heart disquieted and aching such arrows of sympathy and despair -r and when? I had ended, her face show I had closely watclitd Browning from beginning, and was at length convinced, much against my will, that he did not love her, though I was sure she interested him. but mere ly because he was a student of human nature. When I was reluctantly obliged to confess to myself that she was indifferent to him I felt equally crushed and hopeless, as if had glanced at the veritable book of fate. Indeed, I began to wish that Mr, Browning's business, whatever it was, be speedily accomplished. My woman's heart was sorely greived for Bessie, and my fancy began to be tilled, with visions of a trip to the Niagara, Newport, Nahant-any where to cheat the dear one from herself And yet I knew that she was one of very few who would never be thus cheated. About half a mile behind our house was an old saw-mill. It stood in a wild glen, and the little mill-pond behind it, edged with small trees and shrubs of various kinds, which made a green mosaic on its placid face, was favorite resort. It was in the early September that, by mutual thou't hardly spoken consent, we found our selves in our accustomed seat. Bessie was in one of her bitter despairing moods. An uncle of mine, who had been for long years a missionary in a distant country, had left us this morn ing. He was on a brief visit to the land of his youth, to get fresh vigor for himself and new teachers for his work. Wo had been speaking of him. "He cannot but be happy," said Bes sie, "whatever he may lack, for he knows he is constantly creating hap piness. But what kind of a life do I lead? Who is the better for it? Oh, I'm sick of myself." She was silent for a moment, and then turned to mcwith with a sad smile: "It wouldn't be a proper reason for going on a mission though, would it, because one was of one's self?" The sorrow deep need in her face, and she went ou:— "Sometimes I say I have made no growth these years—fool—from a lit tle child that 'lelt its life in every limb,' I'm come to have a sorrow grow out of every joy—that's progress, I'm thinking!" She hid her face in her hands, and her sobs shook her. It was the rarest thing in the world for her to weep, and when she did the passion seemed to rend and tear its way like a destroying flood. I sat silent and sad, knowing that I could not console, and that "sair grief maun have its- will." I looked up and saw Jane, the servant-girl approach ing. "Miss Anne, your mother wants you in the house for a little." "I'll be back soon, Bessie," said I, and ran home. Various causes com bined to detain me, and it was full three quarters of an hour before I again came in sight of the mill. And what a spectacle saluted my infallible, philosophising eyos! My cousin Bessie with a face like a dewy rose-bush in bloom at sunrise, both her hands in the manly clasp of Henry Browning! I stand bewildered. Mr. Browning, whose fine eyes area little dimmed', turns to me and says: "My dear friend let me introduce to you—my dearest friend on earth." Bessie, suddenly restored to her faculties, with low bowing head, says: "I also introduce mine to you." I still stand stupefied. My ownMajesty, clear, critical Judgement and the results thereof, are fast drifting down the tide, and my tongue refuses to "utter the thoughts that arise in me." "But how—why-what," at last in homely Saxon, why in the world did you seem so cool and indifferent all the time? I don't like that in you" said I, waxing warm (Bessie, meanwhile, the transformed, mildly imploring me with her eye) "you came to spy out the land and it is unworthy of you." Mr. Browning linked one arm into mine, put the other lightly over the shoulder of his Bessie, and we turned homeward. "My triend Anne." said he in his deep voice. "Bessie and I have at least one point in common—a wicked pride. Never, through all the days of our acquaintance, have I dreamed that she cared for me. I have lived in steadily-growing sorrow in that belief. Until just now, seeing her in tears, my sympathy stifled my pride, and love spake. That first 'dear Bessie' con quered." We walked on in silence.. As we drew near the house I said, "And shall yon go on the mission, Bessie?" She smiled into his eyes. "Oh yes,in I have already started." I have never recovered that keen ness of observation and unfailing judgment for which I previously was so remarkable. I am afraid I never shall. And years of wedded life have not shaken Bessie's love and faith in Mr.n Henry Browning, but rather have added thereto.

Five minutes later the stream ofdate. liquid fire left offbubbling and emitting scoria it became, indeed, so limpid and brilliant that it scorched our eyes at a few yards off. All at once my companion walked up to the furnace and calmly began to wash his hands in the metal, as if it had been lukewarm water. I confess, at the moment, my heart beat as if it would burst, and yet, when Bouligny ended his strange ab lution, 1 walked forward in my turn a determination that proved a certain strength of will. I imitated my Professor's movements and, in my joy I took a handful of the metal and threw it high in the air, and it fell back iu afire shower on the ground.—Me moirs of Robert Houdin. E EMANCIPATION O E RUS SIAN SERFS We have now before us the text of the manifesto of the Czar of Russia an nouncing to his subjects the emancipa tion of the serfs. His Majesty tells them that on ascending the throne he resolved in all sincerity to acquire the affections of his subjects of every rank and condition "from the warrior who nobly carries arms for the defence of his country, to the humble artisan en gaged in works of industry from the functionary who pursues the career of the highest employment of the Slate, to the laborer whose plow furrows the fields." His Majesty proceeds to glance at the patriarchal relations which have hitherto existed between the peasants and their proprietors, and to show that, as simplicity of manners has disap peared, the condition of the serfs has been unfavorably affected. He was convinced, therefore, that a great ame lioration of their lot was a mission to which he was called by Divine Provi dence. The steps which have been taken in consulting the nobility, in forming the committees,: and in consid ering the various propositions, are successfully detailed and the mode of emancipation ultimately agreed to is described at length. The co-operation of the nobility is warmly spoken of in the manifesto. Hussia," says his 4 will never forget that the noblessc,moved solely by their respect for the dignity of man and by the love of their neighbor, have spontaneously renounced* the rights which the serf dom now abolished had given them, and have laid the foundations of anew future for the peasants." They are then called upon to carry out faithfully and conscientiously the regulations which have been deemed fittest for tho great end iu view. The manifesto was read in all the churches ot St. Petersburgh and Mos cow on Sunday, the 5th tilt., and was followed by solemn prayers for the preservation of the health and the pro longation of the life of the Emperor. The manifesto and tho accompanying regulations are being sent as rapidly as possible to all the chiefs of depart ments, proprietors of land, and com* muues of peasants thro'out the Empire. THE EXGMSU SEXSATIOJT MARRIAGE CASE.—The remarkable trial of thePrince Yelverton marriage suit has terminat ed in Dublin, before the Court of Com mon' Pleas. It is a cause brought to establish the validity of a secret mar riage, celebrated by a Catholio priest Ireland, between the Hon. Major Wins Cha8. Yelverton, ofthe British army, heir to' tho Avonmore peerage, and Miss Teresa Longworth, who was one ofthe French Sisters of Charity in the Crimea. In consequence of a dis graceful law, making it a penal offence Irelandfora Catholic priest to per form a marrhtge ceremony between a Catholic and a Protestant, Unless first celebrated by a Protestant minister, the husband, whose family are Protest ant, and whose own religious convic tions sit loose' upon1 him treated the marriage as a shuur, deserted his Wife, and contracted another marriage with a wealthy widow. The trial now haiil has. resulted in a- verdict that his first marriage was valid. Miss Longworth is, therefore, the Hon. Mrs. YelK rton, and her husband stands in the power ofthe criminal law as a'bigamist RATES OPADVEUTIsiNG.
