' With a smile upon the earth, Singing as it wanders through Medows crowned with violets blue, ? Throwing many a pearly gem ; O'er the lily's bending stem, Floating calmly to the ocean . ( With an easy graceful motion, And a tone that seems to say "Happy, happy all the day." How can darknes shroud the heart, When the tones of gladness start From each leafy bush that glows, With the brightness of the rose ? From the velvet wreath that twine Where the beams of summer shine, Down amid the valley bowers,

Where are clustering bright-hued flowers, And along the forest aisles , Where the queen of beauty smiles On each modest, half hid blossom, Bowing to the earth's green bosom i -How the wild-birds golden wing Sweeps across each lovely thing, While its mellow, thrilling notes Tremble on the balm that floats From the laden flowers that lie Smiling 'neath the cloudless sky. How can sadness shade the brow, Or the spirit murmur now ? Learn a lesson of the bird, Whose soft notes are gently stirred To a song of grateful praise Through the long, bright summer days, Of the little laughing rill Wandering down the sunny hill, And the flower that lifts its head. From its dewy, shining bed ; Of the peaceful azure sky, Where the starry islands lie, . And the clouds all tipped with gold, Round the glittering gems enfold, And the gorgeous crimson track Throws its rays of glory back, : When the sun has sunk to rest In the radient glowing west, Learn from nature how to throw Shadows from the care-worn brow, And to make within the heart Founts of love and gladness start, Blessing Heaven that bird and flower Come to cheer the summer hour ; Come with tones so sweet and mild . Unto nature's listening child,' Teaching lessons fraught with love, Pointing to a realm above. Springfield, Mass., Aug. 1S52. . MY WIFE'S HEW ffUEND.

One afternoon, as I was tending my doll, Ophelia, who was sick in bed, I heard a brisk discussion among these girls, which, I may al most say, decided my fate for life. The first words that caught my attention, came from an animated, romantic girl of sixteen, scold ing because the heroine of a novel she had just read, was left unmarried at the end of the story One of my sisters did not seem to sympathise with this burst of disapprobation ; and then came the pithy question "What! would you be willing to die an old maid?" " Mary said, very quietly, " Yes, " and sister Ellen added, "So would L." Then such looks of amazement and incredulity. "You can't mean what you say," cried one. " If I did not know you too well to think you a hypocrite, V said another. "Why, it was meant that all women should be married," exclaimed a third. "Then why are they not all married?" asked Mary, with simplicity. Eager and hot grew the controversy, and I lost not a word, while Ophelia lay flat on her back, her stiff kid arms sticking out and her croup Quite forgotten. Then first did I take notice of that terrible combination of monosylables "Old Maids." In how many different tones of contempt, dread, and deprecating, did I hear it uttered by those juvenile voices. $ What anecdotes came forth about cross old maids, and fidgety so much scandal in one afternoon, as was poured forth bv these bloomin? vounsr creatures, t. l wo or; three friends of my mother's, whom I had always, cherished in my innocent affection, because they klked so pleasantly, and were so kind to me, now appeared like new personages.

In short, I neither loved nor reproached him, but I watwillihg to; marry him, because I should be Mrs Somebody, and should net be an old maid. ' ; My parents said " No," ppsititely. , s Of course;. I thought them unreasonable and crueVi&ad made myself very miserable. -Still, it was sepe thing to have had "an offer' of any kind, and my lips were not hermetically sealed, I Jiad several confidants, who took care that sli my acquaintances should know Jthat I had refused Mr. Somebody. 1 I went on with increasing uneasiness a few years longer, not seeking how to be .useful, or trying w nnu uui ior waat ooa purpose x was made. Neither was I looking for a companion who could sympathise 'with my better aspirations and elevate mfhole character, for I had no right views of marriage. I was simply gazing about m anxious suspense upon every unmarried man ot my acquaintance, for one who would lift me out of that dismal Valley of Humiliation into which I felt myself descending- Had I met Apollyon himself there : with tki question on his lips, I believe I should have said " Yes. At thirty-six I wore more pink ribands than ever, was seen everywhere thataresnectablewo man could go, wondered why the girls went into company so young, found l was growing sharp faced and sharp spoken, and was becoming old maidish in the worst sense of the word, be cause I was an old maid against my will ; I forgot that voluntary celibacy never affects the temper, t My sisters, be it remembered, were older than I. They too were single. But they had lived more domestic lives than I had, had read fewer works of fiction, had been cultivating their own natures, and seekteg- to make everybody around them happy. And everybody reverenced them, and loved to look upon their open pleasant countenances, I mean everybody worth pleasing, and they were very happy. -3 -" At last my good parents died, and. left each of us a little independence. Within r a year I was married. , . i I was married for my money. Thatwas tea years ago, and they were ten years of purgatory. I have had bad luck as a wife,; for my hus-4 band and I have scarcely one taste in common. He wishes to live in the country, which I hate, Hike the thermometer at 7.5 degi which he hates. He likes to have the children brought up at home instead of school, which I hate. I like music, and want to go to concerts, which he hates.
