[This pcx!in lias been published over and ^iver again In the newspaper* of America, yet it neror grows old. We pity the nun Win ciiui')'. r»il with ititen.se pleasure half dozen tlinco a year.] ?'Oh! a wonderful stream is the river of Time, vVs it run* thro' tin* retilm of tearc, jAVlth a faiiltie«s rythm and musical rhyme, .And a liroudT Kweep anil a Mirx** sublime,

And blends Willi th: mi-aii of years.

'How th':

I liny go

On th-- river's breast with its ebb and Mow,

.Ah

it elides In the shadow and .shade.

"There's magical Isle tip the river of Time, ..•••Where I lie softest of ulr.s are playing. There'•4 a cloudless sky and a tropical clline,

And a son im sweitt as a vesper chime, And I tii» Junes with the roses are stay ins?.

'•And ill" name of the lsl- Is the Lonij Ago, And we bury our treasure there. There it re brows of beauty and bosoms of khow: There are heaps of dust but we loved them

There ur.s trinkets and tresses of hair

"Ther- are fragments of song that nobody kinas, And a *ori of an infant's prayer There'! a lute unswept and a harp without n!rin«s There are broken vows and pieces of rings, And the garments that she used to wear.

"There are hands that are waved when the j'airv shore By the mirage Is lifted in air And we sometimes hear thro* the turbulent wur Sweet voices we heard in the years gone befwre When the wind down the river is fair.

"Oh! iiii'finbe.-. for aye the blessed isle, Ail the (lay of life till night. When the evening comes with Its beautiful

Mtiule

And our eyes are closing to slumber a while May that 'greenwood' of soul be in sight."

XOSEYW" HURST."

When 1 was an apprentice hoy, there lived in our neighborhood an old fellow whose most prominent featuro was a very long and hump-backed nose. It was prodigious, and would throw John Tvler's proboscis entirely in the shade, ife kept a little store, where he sold apple*, cigars, pies, beer, and a little whisky on the sly.

Most all the boys that lived near his place used to meet in Nosey's back room at night to hear the old man spin yarns, and rasp out "Old Dan Tucker" and "Dandy Jim" on his liddl -, which he loved to play a.s long as the boys ordered in tho beer. Many a joke we

used to play on the old fellow when ho would get about half full I don't think we ever had stamps enough to till him, for I never saw him full.

But our meetings in Nosey's back room were brought to an end at last, by carrying the joke too far. It happened this way

Two of the boys worked in a marble shop near Nosey's, and the old fellow used to often call in and look at them carving little lambs and flowers on hoads!ones, and Nosey would tell us what line artistw they were, which they proved to him afterwards.

He took a great fancy to a plaster bust of Washington that stood in the shop, and asked the boys for it but they put him otl'by promising to make him one, a every time Nosey met J, them he would "bone" them for his "bursty" tilf at last they go: tired of

I iiift, unil it^uoUiilod it Kim

out of /•'$ own head.

They had often heard tho jours talking nli.iut taking easts of dead men with plaster of Paris, so they agreed to try it on Nosey if he would consent. One night ho asked about that "burst," and I hey told him what they had coneluded to do, giving him a full description of tho operation.

This tickled tho old man to death. lie got tho old woman to agree by telling her how nice it would look

the

window. Everything was fixed for the next night, and all hands were on deck to see the operation performed.

It was late when the artists catno, but wo kept the old man's spirits up by pouring his beer down, and had him in good fix for tho sculps, Avho hail all the tixings for making the cast. So, after taking some more of Nosoy's beer, not forgetting the old man, who put himself outside ofabout a quart, they commenced tho job by laying Nosey full length on the floor.

One of them put the old woman's apron on his breast, in order to keep

the plaster from his clothes, and inserted a toothpick in each of is nostrils for him to breathe through while the plaster would be selling on his face, and told him to keep perfectly still. The other hail mixed about a p:iilful of plaster of Paris that they ad brought from "'thevhop.

Now ibis plaster sets very quick so, telling N'osey to shut his eyes, they commenced to daub the plaster on his mug. ell,/ sir, you ought to have se^n the fellows spreading that stuff on the old man's mouth, nose and even to his ears, lie eoiilmeneed to snort like a quarter-horse, but he stood it like a hero, while the sculps kept piling on the plaster. It look about all they had mixed, for he had a fearful horn, and thev had to cover it to make the cast perfect.

I'll never forget the shines the old woman cut up about "my dear Hilly: vou'll kill him, vou loafers get up, Hilly!"

But he lav like a dog, ami shook his list for the old wvman to stop, and kept up his snorting while the plaster was setting, which took but a short time.

We all took a drink and I think this was the only time that Nosey didn't .Join us but ii was no go for him that "time he was last and every time I would look at him stretched out I had all I could do to kwp from laughing for if any one of us had laughed it would have spoiled the So wo kept as -quiet as we could under tho circumstances.

The plaster having sot the young sculps started to remove it with the irreatest care but, to their surprise, I .found it stuck as fast as tho old man's skin to his tlesh for they never thought» to grea.so his eyebrows, which were verv heavy.

His board was about llijve days old, and the east was on as tight as a drumhead.

Nosov tried to sit up, but was prevented by some plaMer that hail run down his hair to the lloor. But the -sculps soon knocked this loose, and the ••old man got up, and commenced tryitiir to get the i*ast ofT but uo go.

Me must have been in a Searftil state, yet he could not mutter a word. But snort he did with a vengoanec.

At last one of the artists got good hold on each side of tho cast, ne:ir the oars, and gave it a sharp jerk, and it venule.

LAW AND MA Mil A GE.

•BY 31A It A. LIVKUMORE.

The laws of our country thua make marriage a penal institution to women. If unmarried and of age, lier name is vnliil when signed to a note or cont ract. If unmarried and a mother she owns her children. If unmarried and possessing property she holds it and uses it according to her judgement. If unmarried she can iill certain otliccs—she

is somebody in the eyes of our astute

winters are drifting like Hakes of and wonderful laws." Bnt it she have snow, ..\nd the summers like birds between. And the ywir In the ahuaf .so they runic! and

tin) temerity to marry tha man she loves, then our laws punish her. for it. She I immediately drops into legal nonentity.

She is Nobody. Her name at the foot I of a note or contract is as worthless as blank paper, unless her husband clothes it with authority, by adding his own to it. A married mother—legal ownership in her baby is denied her, except in the two Slates of New York and I Kansas. In most of the States bhe can not own tho money she earns after her marriage, nor dispose of what belongs to her, exclusively, except her husband graciously permits it. And a.s a wife, "she can not hold an office ofhonor, trust or emolument under the laws I of the Uuited States." What do such I laws signify? Contempt for married Women? Is it their object to oiler a premium to celibacy in women? Are married women so dangerous an element in society that it is neccessarv to curb and fetter them and keep them under the feet of men? I grow hot with indignation thinking of it, and am ashamed of my country. It is no easy thing for high-spirited women, who are self-sespecting and conscious of their intellectual and moral' equality with men, to contemplate tho status of womanhood in this American republic without a feeling of bitterness. Is the time ever coming when it shall bo as good a thing in the eyes of law and society to be born a woman as a man?
