NOVEMBER THOUGHTS.
BY LILY MAY.
It is not that my heart is sad
With thoughts of dear ones fir awayi
My aoul ia not in ashes clad
This dark November day. ,
Within the grate the fire burna bright,
Shedding its warmth u round the foem,
W Inch charms my spirit, like tho light
Of summers verdant bloom.
I know tho storm beats wild, without,
I hear tho pattering rain-drops full;
And yet I Icel that I could about,
. God rulclh over all.
'1 he fire that burns within my breaat
Shotls such a glow around my heart,
'Twill make, my lifo too truly blest,
To let it e'er depart.
I'll pray thnt nothing may destroy
The hope that innkea my being bright,
And share w ith friends' the earnest joy
That fills ins with delight.
The glow of health is on my brow,
I feel my pulses bnumling free, ,
Joy triumphs o'er tho present now,
What shall tha future bo.
A thrilling whisper, seems to come
From tho dcp chambers of my heart;
Where happiness is found til home,
Oh let it not depart, i
'Tis thia that mukes the present bright,
Gives all En rlh 'a joys a plea.-injr.zest;
If guided by this trusting light,
The future shall b Must.
Sweet Anna, sister of my soul,
Thy joys like mine nro fondly blent
E'en with a tido that brooks control,
Whoso force may not ba spent.
May each in sifety, down that title,
Bo guided by some gentle hand;
'Till o'er life's waves we'll softly glido
On towards the belter land.
Such thoughts havo nll'd my earnest soul
With audi a deep nud holy trust,
tremble, when I think the whole
May crumble into dust.
But let us feed the burning flamo
E'en from tho fount that gave it birth,
So that Eternity may claim
Tlie truest light of Earth.
Though chilly grows the air without,
Wo fael a pleasant glow within;
Thus life ia compasa'd nil about
With tempting deeds of sin.
Though now the sky is dark, and drear,
And steady fulls the chilling ruin,
We know full well, when all is clear
Tho sun will sliinu again.
Thua may tho glow within each breast
Shed such a light around our way
We'll ne'er havo cause to feel distrest,
E'en of a rainy duij.

the carriage passed, its sweet and solitary in-j
mate glancing out anu smiling w itiiui, anu ,
wish. blie wanted to select n set of silver
wore, not too elaborate in design of workman
ship, nor yet too plain, tomclhiiig nont,
tnsiefu! und beautiful. The various patterns
were shown und a set valued ut tjUU was
selected by tho lady of the stalely trend.
bhe desired the articles put up, u bill made
out, and she would settle it. Her wishes
were complied w ith, and the ludy took out
her elegant port monnaie, but alas! there
wore but uboul $40 in it. She hnd picked up
her wrong porte monnaie, she said with be-
witchinii sweetness, and she wns vexed ut
her stupidity, She, however, could urrangei
. She was the wile of Dr. , theprin-
ipui physician ol tho Insane Hospital, and
she desired her attendant to accompany her
to that place , when sho would pay bun at
once. vno cou:u resist such a request irom
growing radiant with a thought that requirea,
j another paragraph to leurn.
She alighted, und glided into the bazaar of
gold and silver and precious stones, with alii
the statelincssof a queen. One or two ol
the gentlemanly uttendiints ran to learn her
a heautilul woman a request spoken as much
with the eyes as the voice! Nut the clerk
certeinly.
The two gut into the carriage together,
and back it whirled to the Hospital. The
lady jumped fiom tho carriage, und was
warmly greeted by Uia doctor, wijo wusut tin)
entrance.
Doctor, this is my husband," said she, with
an air ut once sweet and sorrow I ui.
Tho poor attendant started. He was
struck aghast. He could not fathom her
meaning.
"What did you say, madam." he stammer
ed, as he bcst.could, "what did yuu say!"
"Doctor, this is my husband, pieuse take
hi in in charge."
"Too devil, uiudiiin, I'm not your husband,
what do you iiieuu!"
Uurslui'' into tears she sobbed aiuud. "II
has another spasm he has another attack,
Oh: Doctor, if you have pity in your soul
secure him, and save voursell and mo Irom
violence."
In vain the poor fallow attempted to ex
pluin. Ho was hurried ulong t he corridor
and into u mom, and confined securely the
woman all the while fulhiwini! closu beniud
weeping as- though her heart would break.
Tho Doctor und tho lady returned to the re
ception room, and the lutler, after giving the
other an out'inc of tho peculiarities of her
allegei husband's attacks, together with some
directions in reference to the cure sho de
sired tu have bestowed upon him, alio left,
promising to come again in a few days. And
awoy whirled th6 carriage, the silver ware,
and the ludy; neither of which bus been heard
of since.
The poor attendant Was confined three diys
bo 'ore any one about the establishment could
bo induced to convey a letter to his employ
ers, who, all the time, were suspecting his
honestx . and nrenarinir to advertise him

it did not lake them long to discover that
they hid been sold most brilliantly; and upon
their appearanc ) at the hospital, it did not
tuke the Doctor long to discover thut ho had

satisfied, upon his arrival ut the hospital that

"Yes, if it is really so."
"Well," the continued, "father remained
til the adjournment, and heard it pnsse.l, and
1 1 aslcd him if I mi"ht not run over and tell
10e far the future, lor through all his
cullies and iriali, that never forsook him.
The next morning, an he was coing to break-
foitl no of the waiters informed him that a I
dy Wae in the parlor waiting to see hi.n. !
He went in immediately, nnd found that the j
young lady was MUs Ellsworth, dntiglitcr ofj
the Commissioner ol I'aients, w.io nitu neen
his most ateudfusl friend while in Washing
ton. , 1
"I come," said she, "to congratulate you."
"For wh.it!" said Prof. Morse.
"On the passage of your bill," sho replied.
"Oh, no you must be mistaken," nid he.
"I remained in the Semite till a late hour
1 you.
Annie," said the Professor, his emotion
almost choking his utterance, "Annie, the
first message that ia sent from Washington
to Baltimore, shall be sent from you."
"Well." she replied. "I will keep you to
your word ."
While the line was in process of comple
tion, Prof. Morse was in New York, and. up
on receiving intelligence that it was in
working order, he wrote to thoso in charge
telling them not to transmit uny message
over it till his r.rrival. lie' then set nul im
mediately for Washington, ojid on reaching
that city, sent a note to Miss Ellsworth, in
forming her that he was now ready to fulfil
his promise, end asked her w hut messng.) he
should send.
To this he received the following reply
"H7ifl hath (ind wrouuhll" words that
ousrht to be written in characters of livm
litflit. Tne message was twice repeated, and
each time with tlie greatest success. As
so.Mi as the result of the experiment was
made known. Governor Seymour, of Con
necticut, railed upon Prof. Morse and e.lnim
cd tho first message for his Stale, on the
ground that Miss Ellsworth was a nativo of
Hnrifoid. We need ccarcely add, that his
cluiin w.ts udmitled, end now, enirruvod in
letters of gold, il is disp'ayed conspicuously
in the archives ol tho Historical Society

A few nights since tbero passed through
this city, on iho ruilroad, bound lor Canada,

these the leading spirit of the whole was
a woman sixty years of ngo, a bold, courage
ous, nromnt and eneraetic woman. 1 wo
years ugn rdio wbs living as a slave in the
South. Sho was the uioilier ol si:: children;
! t.l of whom sho had seen lorn from her arms
when old enough to be useful, and sold aw
from her. One day she overheard her inas'
cr bargaining with a Miuldriver, w ho desired
to purchase, far the South, lur grandson,
boy of some fifteen years old. Smug to the
quick by this ilcsign of gripping her to the
last of her kindred, she instantly resolved
