8O M E THING YE T. BY BALLIE M. BKYASL They call we beautiful, and fame Forever echoes on try name, And crowds before me bow; Yes, I have love linos and grace, Where ■ -ai- a . yet have left no trace And laurals bind my brow, Like an •nchank i palace, r:.i ed Rv pre t-dr<‘:>. ■ f',-. t'li.'-l With burning glory, seems Me home! that place < f ui! most bx : — '1! ■ ' ask of refuge and of rest, That aleps in golden gleams. Its graceful marble-spires float high, As if to kiss the smiling ti;y; And iii its dreamy halls, ‘Mid all things bright, 1 pass the hours, While far in starlight grove* and flowers Sweet music swells and falls. And he—no form of marble mold, Whose classic charms, all fair and bold; Stand sadly in the real, Where dreamy poets sigh to view, Silent and calm and soulless too. Their idolized ideal— These, these are scarce more bright than he Whose heart and genius shrine for me A heaven of love and light! And infant angels in my dreams Are not more beautiful Ilian seems My smiling child to-night. Fame, riches, beauty—ay, and lore— By woman prized all else above, Are mine— but one regret, Faint, strange,and shadow, haunts my brain, And grasps afar—in vain, in vain— Ah, there's n something yet! ' “EYES OPEN ” ‘Our minister said in his sermon, last! evening,’ said Mrs. Beach, the wife of a prosperous wholesale dry goods mer- ■ chanton market street, as she dusted her I mantel ornaments of procelain and mar- I bio, on Monday morning, 'that we who wanted to do good must be on the constant look out’ for opportunities; that God does not find our work, and bring it ready fitted and prepared to our hand; but spreads the world before us, and we are to walk tbrogh it as Christ and the Apostles did, with‘eyes open,’ looking for sick and the suffering, the poor and the oppressed. ‘Now, 1 am certain,’ continued the la- > dy as she replaced a marble Diana in the ! centre of a mantle, I should like to do some good every day; one feels much better when they go to rest at night; and I’ll just keep my ‘eyes open’ to-day, and see if I come across any opportunities that, under ordinary circumstances, I should let slip.’ Half an hour later, Mis. Beach was in i the nursery, with the washerwoman, who had come for the cloths. ‘I wish, Mrs. Simms,’ she said, as she heaped the soiled linen into the basket, ‘that you would get Tommy’s Aprons ready for me by Wednesday. We are going out of town,! ♦o remain until Saturday, and I shall want I a good supply on hand fcr such a careless j little scamp as he is.’ 'Well, I’ll try, ma’am said the wash-| erwoman;‘l’ve got behind hand a good i deal since Sammy had the whooping! cough; but now he’s better, I must try j to make up for lost time.’ ‘Has he had the whoping cough? poor I little fellow? How old is he questioned the lady. ‘He was three last April, ma’am.’ ‘And Tom is four,’ mused the lady— Look here, Mrs. Simms! won’t you just open the lower drawer of that bureau, and take out the four green worsted dresses in the corner? Tom’s out grown them, you see, since last winter but they’re almost as good as new. Now, if you want them for little Sammy, they’ll do nicely, without altering, I think.’ ' IFanl them, Mrs. Beach!’ answered the washerwoman, with the tears starting into her dim eyes. ‘I haven’t any words to thank you, or tell you what a treasure they’ll be. Why, they’ll keep the little fellow warm ns toast all winter.’ ‘Well, I’ll place them on the top of the clothes,’ said the lady, smiling to herself, as the thought, My eyes have been open once to-day. Not long afterwads Mrs. Beach was on her wify to to the market, for she was a notable housekeeper, when she met a boy who had lived a short time in her family the year before, to do errands, wait ou the door, <fcc. He was a bright, woodhearted, merry-faced lad, and had been a great favorive with the family, end Mrs. Beach had always felt interested iu him; but this morning she was in quite a hurry, and would have passed the child with a cordial but hasty. 'How are you, Joseph, my boy. Do come and see us,’ had it not struck her that Joseph’s face did not wear its usual happy expression. She paused, as the memory of last night’s sermon flashed through her mind and asked. ‘ls anything tin 1 matter with you

! Joseph. Yon don’t look as happy as yot used to? ‘The boy looked up a moment, with r half-doubling, half-confiding expression into the lady’s faee; the latter triumphed Mr. Anderson’s moved out of town,’ he ! said, pushing back his worn, but neatly ■ brushed cap from his hair, ‘so I’ve lost my place, then little Mary’s sick, and that I makes it very bad jnst now.’ ■So it does,’ answered Mrs- Beach, her ■ sympathies warmly enlisted. ‘But never mind, Joseph; I remember only night be- ; fore last my brother said he would want ! anew errand*boy, in a few days, for his ■ store and he’d give a good one two dollars a week. Now I’ll see him to-day, and get the situation for you if you like.’ The boy’s whole face britghtened,. ‘Oh! j I shall be so glad of it Mrs. Beach.’ I ‘And see here, Joseph; I’m going to i market, and perhaps we can find something nice for little Mary.’ The lady remembered that Josephs mother, though a poor seamstress, was a prond womon, and felt that this world be a delieate way of presenting her gift. She found some delicious pears and grapes and a nice chicken, to make some broth for mary, whom, she learned, was ill with fever before she proceeded to do her own marketing. But it was a pity that the lady did not see Joseph as he sprang into the chamber where little Mary lay moaning wearily ou her bed, while her mother sat stiching busily in one corner, and held up the chicken, and the fruit, crying ‘Good news, I’ve got all these nice things for Mary, and a place at two dollars a week!’. Oh! how little mary’s hot fingers closed over the bunches of white grapes, while the se wing dropped from her mothers fingers, as the tears did down her cheecks. • It was evening, and Mrs Beach sat in the library, absorbed in some new book, when she heard her husband’s step in the hall. Though the morning had been so pleasant, the afternoon was cloudy, and the day had gone down in a low sullen penetrating rain. Now, Mrs. Beach loved her husband with the love of a true wife but he was not a particularly demonstative man, and the first beauty and poetry of their married life had settled down into a somewhat bare, everyday, matter of fact existence. But her heart was warm to-night, with the good deeds of the day, and remembering her resolution of the morning, she threw down her book, and ran downstairs. ‘Henry, dear, ‘has the rain wet you at j all? Let me take off you coat for you. I ‘Thank you, Mary; I don’t thing I’m anywise injured. But you may help me, just for the pleasure of it; and be stood still while she removed the heavy coat, with all that softnes of touch and movement which belongs to a women. She hung it up, and then her husband drew her to his heart with all the old, lover tenderness. ‘You are thoughtful of me, Mary my i wife,’ he said. And there was music in Mrs. Beach’s! heart as she went up stairs—music to the words ‘Eyes open! eyes open!’ Virtues and Vices. A reader cannot be more rationally enI tertained, than by comparing the virtues and vices of his own times with those which prevailed in the times of his forefathers; and drawing a paralel in his mind between his own private character I and that of other persons, whether of bis own age, or of the ages that went before I him. The contemplation of mankind un- ; der these changeable colors is apt to shame us out of any particular vice, or animate us to any particular virtue; to make us J pleased or displease with ourselves in the , most proper points, to clear our mind of | prejudice and prepossession, and to rectify i that narrowness of temper which inclines us io think amiss of those who differ from us. If we look into the manners of the | most remote ages of the world, we dis- . cover human nature in her simplicity; and the more we come downward towar.d our : own times, may observe her a hiding in i artifices and refinements, polished insen- ■ sibly out of her original plainness, and at length entirely lost under form and cere- ! mony, and (what we call) good-breeding, j Read the accounts of men and women as they are given us by the most ancient writers, both sacred and profane, and you would think you were read ing the history j of another species. The ancients were of opinion that Echc was a maiden, who had pined away foi I love, until nothing but her voice wa' left.
