POETICAL ASYLUM

From Mrs. Hide's Mjgazine. OLD AND NEW TIMES When my good mcthcr was a, girl Some thirty years ago, Yo'ing ladies then knew how to knit, As well as how to sew. Younj ladies then couM spin and weave. Could 1) ike, and brew, and sweep, Could sin ; and play, could dance and paint, And could a secret keep. Young ladies then were beautiful As any beauties now Yet they could rake the new-mown hay, Or milk the 14 brindled cow," Yoang ladles thru wore bonnets ton, And with them their own hair ; They m:ide them from their own good straw, And pretty, too, tiny wt re. Young ladies thi wore govns with slccvcj Which would just hold their amis; And did not have as m my yard; As acres in their farms. Young ladies thni oft fell in love, And married, to, the mtn ; When tiK-n, with willing liearts and true, Loved tlicui all b:ick ;r-aiu. Young ladies norj can knit and tew, Or read a ptetty bo -A ('an sing or paint, ami joke and (pi.:, Hut cannot bear to cov!;. o in ladies ncv ran blithely ?pn Of "street yarn" many a spool, And weave a "web cf scai.dal tij, And dye it in the wool. Yonng ladies now can bake their i;a';, Can brew their own cologne ; In fjcrro-vfd plumage often shine, While thev nt gleet their own. And as to secrets, who would think Fidelity a pearl ? None but a n det little Mis Perchance a country r.hl. Young ladies tiqvj wear lo rlv r7, What pity tliey should buu he;n ; And then tlieir bonnets, heav 'n ' they flight The beau that venturcj ni'ii tlu n, Tiicn as to gown?, I've heard it said They'll hold a dozen men ; And if you once get in their skeven You'll ne'er nat on: a", uu, I'.Vn love is changed fom w!nt il as Although true love is known : ' ri? wealth adds lustre to t'l? eh;;ek. And nudts the heart of sice, Tim- time works wonders ; young1 and old Confess his in u jo enri . Ueauty will fade ; hut Yirtue proves Pure. Gold m man's b t hour '

THE FIRST QUARREL. Mary Conway was the turner ol her father's family. She was young, and well do I remember that bbc was beautiful most beau tiftil. There is n object hvne ith the Sun n lhing in this wido wo' Id, foil a it is of allurements, rich as it is in the glorious promise?, and golden hopes, and spirit stirring dream?, l! iat burn? in the heitt like the !resh visions of yonu.r angoJio lovci'mcs, in the ?:eyday of the p lsnrns. Th:re is something

pure, and innocent, and holy, in the mild lustre of her eve ; and something heavenly in the S'lt and gentle smile 1 5 :i t pkwsupon her check ami lips. I luek buk through a mist of years, but 1 see ni object beyond il mote distinctly that Mary Con.vay. She married early in youth, advantageously and happilv; in age and fortune her partnei v? entirely suitable for her their mind:?, too. wec similar, above the ordinary cast, firmly moulded, foil of sensibility, d.vicacy and spirit. And the morning of their matrimonial life wore every prospect of a long, and delightful,, and quiet day of joy. If it seemed bright to others, it seemed doubly so to them; and, lost in the plentitu !e of their happiness, they forgot, if it had ever entered their minds how much care and caution, what watchfulness and foibcarancc, what kindness and prudence, wia necessary to secure the peace and tranquility they now enjoyed. Love docs not burn always with

1he brightness of its first liht but it often .'rows more deep, sincere, and unclunging, as time rolls away. The feelings remain as tcr tier and susceptible, alter the shield that protected them from every unkind word or act, ha been broken The business in which they were engaged was a profitable oir; and Henry was a man of business, industrious attentive an 1 intclli pent. Every one who spoke of them propivoted tint they wuild speedily realize a

3pl:n lid in dependence. They were the pride . of the village. But how smal! a matter 5o!iieritiu,s gives ati uuevpectrd direction to

,n? icriunes ni mou mm, i mes, aou inotvidtnls. U h opcncd one aPemoon, several vv ntti? ftPer her marriage, tint Mary had a little tea party, at which several matrons of the village w ere present, and as it is often the c?e a long ami learned dissertation on the nv.inr.cr of managing husbands had been givcn altei nately by cue ami another; husbands and prurient wives know what such amount to, and hoc much value, they are to young h mc,: keepers. Unfortunate Henry returned, bene in the evemng, fatigued and wearied in both body and mind, with the labors of the day, and look his scat at the table. His

favorite dish was Rot tlicrtf. He inquired fJ

it in a style that savored a little of reproach; it was unintentional. Mary was in the pre-

senccof her self-constituted preceptors; she

was ashamed to appear too submissive be fore them, and beside her feelings were wounded by her husband's manner, she re

plied, as she thought, spiritedly; but it was really harsh. Henry cast a single glance across the table, pushed back his plate, and rising, left the room. It was the first error.

Thev were both sensible of it in a moment.

Hut who should make the first concession,

where both were plainly wrong?

As Henry walked down the street, engaged

in unpleasant meditations, and enveloping

himself in the gloom, a bright hght Irom the upper windows of the village inn attracted his notice, he stepped over, a party of gay young men were about sitting down to sup per: they urged him to join the club, the temptation under the circumstances of the ca?e, was all powerful. Supper over, he delayed a little longer, and a little longer taking his leave; liquor was introduced, and he drank; music came next, and cat ds followed; though he did not partake in the lat, he look

cd on the game without abhorrence; the dread of evil he had been brought up in, had

been broken.

Returning late at night, his spirits heated with wine, and the recollection of his wife's

behaviour bcforeJiim, he found her ictir'.d,

and passed the nigGt in another room. The morning brought aVol meeting: the formal interchange of a few words, nnd a parting without an explanation or complaint. The seed of discontent was sown; it bore the fruit that might be expected. His hoine was tu longer the centre of attraction to Hen ry. His tavern companions were gay, good humored and attractive, and he left the fireside o! his own mjnion, which no longer wooed him as zealously and powerfully as the ale house club of which he wa3 very soon the centre and life. The second error waa committed. 't hough unseen by their friends, a dark cloud now brooded over the fortunes of our young couple. It gathered darknt ss until pcrceptib'e to every eye; and when it burst carried ruin and desolation with it. Dmcn

to the dangerous ccmpny of dissipafed fashionable men, Henry contracted all their habits; he became a drunkard and a gam bier. The domestic circle was deserted, and its obligations forgotten. Mary met her husband's harshness and faithlessness; they

both began in error and continued so ThcfcU

occasioned loud, long and violent collision's; a fearful example was set before their chil dren, who grew up disobedient end passionate. And though for many years the impending bolt of ruin was stayed just above their heads, at last it sped. I lent y died a lingering and awful death His estate was found to be insolvent; his children grew up to ruin, and Mary, the once beautiful and enchanting Mary Conway , ended her life in poverty and obscurity Thus faal in its direct and natural consequence wa3 an error; a single error: the offspring rather of .accident than of intention. I leave the moral for other s to trace out and apply.

generally kicked out ol doors Forty years ago, men of property could labor, k wear homespun to church. Woman could spin ar.d weave, make butter Et cheese, whose husbands were worth thousands. Forty years ago, the young ladies of the first respectability learned music, but it was the humming of the spinning wheel, and learned the necessary steps of dancing in following it. Their piano forte was a loom, their parasol was a broom, and their novels the Bible. Forty years ago, the young men hoed corn, chopped wood at the door, anil went to school in the winter to learn reading, writing and arithmetic. Forty years ago, there were no such things as balls in the summer, and but few in the winter, except snowballs V Forty years ago, if a mechanic promised to do your work, you might depend on his word; the thing would be done. Forty yea' s ago, there were but few merchants in the country, few insolvent debtors, and very rarely imprisoned for debt.

Then she displays that undaunted spirit which neither courts difficulties nor evades them; that resignation which utters neither murmurs
