THE EVENING STAE. 
Gotl’s benison upon thee, 
Thou bright and glorious star! 
Whoso rays are gently streaming 
Through the twilight shades afar— 
Through the wide fields of ether, 
Along the dew-bright lea, 
O’er mountain height and heather, 
And on the stormless sea. 
Oh! ever in thy radiance. 
Life hath a purer glow. 
As a thousand angel visions 
-All widly come and go. 
While o’er the landscape nightly 
Thy silvery beams are cast, 
I'hought lingers yet as brightly 
’Alid the records of the past. 
I remember, oh! how sweetly. 
The dim and distant shore. 
And the broad and billowy ocean, 
T'hat shall stir my heart no more; 
And one, whose songs of gladness 
Swept from the wayward heart 
Each darkling sliade of sadness. 
With a spell of magic art. 
That pure and spotless lily 
Hath faded from the plain. 
And those tones of melting music 
Swell not for us again. 
But bright as love’s beguiling, 
Though years yet darkly roll. 
That image still is smiling 
In the chambers of the soul. 
And I love thee, star of even! 
'I’hy mild and gentle ray 
Seems a light from yonder heaven, 
Be.aming o’er my lonely way. 
Forever and forever 
T'hou art, upon the slope. 
O’er the mountain and the river, 
“A memory and a hope.” 
GENTLE WORDS —LOVING SMILES. 
The sun may warm the grass to life, 
'I’lio dew the drooping flower. 
And eyes grow bright and watch the light 
Of Autumn’s opening hour — 
But words that breathe of tenderness, 
And smiles we know are true. 
Are warmer than the summer time. 
And brighter than the dew. 
It is not much the world can give. 
With all its subtle art. 
And gold and gems are not the things 
To satisfy the heart; 
But oh, if those who cluster round 
The altar and the hearth. 
Have gentle words and loving smiles, 
IIow beautiful is earth.

THE DANDIES REBUKED; 
OR, THE OLD SUKTOUT. 
I HAD taken a place on the top of one of 
the coaches which run between Edinburgh 
and Glasgow, for the purpose of commen¬ 
cing a short tour in the Highlands of Scot¬ 
land. As we rattled along Princes Street, 
I had leisure to survey my fellow travelers. 
Immediately opposite to me sat ttvo dandies 
of the first order, di-essed in white great¬ 
coats and Belcher handkerchiefs, and each 
with a cigar in his mouth, which he puffed 
away with a marvellous complacency. Be- 
.side me sat a modest and comely young- 
woman in a widow’s dress, with an infant 
nine months old in her arms. The appear¬ 
ance of the youthful mourner and her baby 
indicated that they belonged to the loAver 
class of society; and altho’ the dandies oc¬ 
casionally cast a rude glance at the mother, 
the look of calm and settled sorrow, Avhich 
she invariably, at such times, cast upon her 
child, seemed to touch even them, and to 
disai-m their coarseness. On the other side 
of the windoAv, sat a young gentleman of 
plain yet prepossessing e.xterior, Avho seem¬ 
ed especially to attract the notice of the dan¬ 
dies. His surtout Avas not absolutely thread¬ 
bare, but it had eAudently endured more 
than one season, and I could perceive many 
contemptuous looks throAvn upon it by the 
gentlemen in the Belcher handkerchiefs.— 
The young gentleman carried a small port¬ 
manteau in liis hand —so small, indeed, that 
it could not possibly have contained more 
than a change of linen. This article also 
appeared to an-est the eyes of the sprig-s of 
fashion opposite, Avhose Avardrobes, in “all 
probability, .Avere more voluminous; Avheth- 
er they Avere paid for or not might be an¬ 
other ((uestion. 
The coach having stopped at the village 
of Corstorphine, for the pui-pose of taking 
up an inside passenger, the guard obserA’ing 
that the young gentleman carried his port¬ 
manteau in his hand, offered to put it in the 
boot, to Avhich he immediately assented. 
“ Put it fairly in the centre, guard,” said 
one of thedandies. 
“ Why so, Tom ?” inquired his companion. 
“ It may capsize the coach,” rejoined the 
first; a sally, at Avhich both indulged in a 
burst of laughter; but of Avhich the OAvner 
of the [portmanteau, though the blood mount¬ 
ed slightly into his cheek, took no notice 
Avhatever. 
While Ave Avere changing horses at the 
little toAvn of Uphall, an aged beggar ap¬ 
proached and held out his hat for alms.— 
The dandies looked at him Avith scorn—I 
gaA^e.him a feAvhalf pence; and the young 
AvidoAA', poor as she seemed, Avas about to do 
the same, Avhen the young gentlerqan in 
the surtout laid his hand gently on her arm, 
. and dropping a half croAvn into the beggar’s 
hat made a sign for him to depai-t The 
dandies looked at each other. 
“ ShoAving off. Jack,” s<ud the one. 
“Ay, ay, successful at our last benefit, you 
know,” rejoined the other, and both again 
bunst into a horse-laugh. 
At this allusion to his supposed profession, 
the blood again mounted into the young 
gentleman’s cheek, btit it Avas only for a mo¬ 
ment, and he continued silent 
We had not left Uphall many miles be¬ 
hind us, Avhen the Avind began to rise, and 
the gathering clouds indicated an approach¬ 
ing shower. The dandies began to prepare 
their umbrelhus; and the young gentleman 
in the surtout, surveying the di-ess of the 
AvidoAV, and perceiving that she Avas but in¬ 
differently provided against a change of 
Aveather, inquired of the guard if the coach 
Avas full inside. Being answered in the af¬ 
firmative, he addressed the mourner in a 
tone of sympathy; told her there Avas evei-y 
appearance of a smart shoAver; expressed 
his regret that she could not be taken into 
the coach; and concluded by offering her the 
use of his cloak. 
“ It Avill protect you so far,” said he, “and 
at all events, it Avill protect the baby.” 
The widoAv thanked him in a modest and 
respectful manner, and said, that for the 
sake of the infant, she Avould be glad to 
have the cloak, if he would not suffer for 
the Avant of it liimself. 
He assured her that he shoixld not, being 
accustomed to all kinds of Aveather. 
“ His surtout Avon’t spoil,” said one of the 
dandies in a voice of affected tenderness, 
“and besides, my dear, the cloak Avill hold 
you both.” 
The young AvidoAv blushed; and the young- 
gentleman turning- (juickly around, address¬ 
ed the speaker in a tone of dig-nity Avhich I 
shall never forget. 
“ I am not naturally quan-elsome, sir; but 
yet it is quite possible you may pyoA'oke me 
too far.” 
Both the exqusites immediately turned 
as pale as death; shrunk in spite of them¬ 
selves into their natural insignificance; and 
they scarcely opened their lips, even to each 
other, during the remainder of the journey. 
In the meantime, the young gentleman, 
Avith the same politeness and delicacy as if 
he had been assisting- a lady of quality Avith 
her shaAvl, proceeded to Avrap the AvidoAv 
and her baby in his cloak. He had hardly 
accomplished this, Avhen a smart shoAver of 
rain, mingled Avith hail commenced. Be¬ 
ing- myself provided Avith a cloak, the cape 
of Avhich Avas .sufficiently hu-ge to envelope 
and protect my head, I offered the young- 
gentleman my umbrella, Avhich he readily 
accepted, but held it, as I remarked, in a 
manner better calculated to defend the Avid- 
OAV than himself. 
When we reached West Craig’s Inn, the 
.second stage from Edinburgh, the rain had 
ceased, and the young gentleman, politely 
returning- my xxmbrclla, began to relieve the 
AvidoAV of his dripping- cloak, Avhich he shook 
OA'er the side of the coach, and afterAvai-ds 
hung it on the railing to di-y. Then turn¬ 
ing- to the young AvidoAV, he inquired if she 
Avould take any refreshment; and upon her 
ansAvering in the negative, he proceeded to 
enter into a conversation Avith her as folloAvs: 
“ Do you travel far on this road, ma’am ?” 
“ About sixteen miles farther, sir. I leaAT 
the coach six miles the other side of Airdrie.” 
“ Do your friends dAvell thereabouts ?” 
“Yes, sir, they do. Indeed, I am on my 
Avay to my father’s house.” 
“To your father’s?” 
“Yes sir, said the poor young AA’oman 
raising- her handkerchief to her eyes, and 
sobbing audibly; “I am returning- to him a 
disconsolate AvidoAv, after a short absence of 
tAA "0 years.” 
“ Is your father in good circumstances ?” 
“ He Avill neA'er suffer me or my baby to 
Avant, sir, Avhile he has strength to labor for 
us; but he is himself in poverty— a day la¬ 
borer on the estate of the Earl of H-.’ 
At the mention of this nobleman’s name 
the young gentleman colored a little, but it 
Avas evident that his emotion Avas not of an 
unpleasant nature. 
“ What is your father’s name ?” said he. 
“ James Anderson.” 
“ And his residence ?” 
“ Blinkinbonny.” 
“ Well, I trust, that though desolate so 
far as this AA^orld is concerned, you knoAV 
something- of Him Avho is the father of the 
fatherless and the judge of the AvidoAv. If 
so, yoiu* Maker is your husband, and the 
Lord of Hosts is his name.” 
“ Oh, yes, sir, I bless God, that through a 
pious parent’s care, I knoAV sometliing of 
the poAver of Divine gi-ace, and the consola¬ 
tions of the gospel. My husband, too, tho’ 
but a tradesmjm, Avas a man Avho feared 
God above many.” 
“The remembrance of that must tend 
much to alleviate your sorrow.” 
“ It doe.s, indeed, sir, at times; but other 
times I am often ready to sink. My fath¬ 
er’s poverty and advancing- age, my baby’s 
helplessness and my OAvn delicate health, 
are frequently too much for my feeble ffiith.” 
“ Trust in God, and he Avill provide for 
you; be assured he Avill.” 
By this time the coach AVcis again in mo¬ 
tion, and though the conversation continued 
for some time, the noise of the AxLeels pre¬ 
vented me from hearing- it distinctly. I 
could see the dandies, hoAATver, exchange 
looks Avith one another; and at one time, 
the more foi-Avard of the tAvo Avhispered 
something to his companion, in Avhich the 
Avords “ Methodi.st Par,son,” alone Avere au¬ 
dible. 
At Airdrie nothing particular occurred; 
Avhen Ave got about half Avay betAveen that 
tOAvn and Glasgow, Ave arrived at a cross 
road Avhere the AvidoAv expressed a Avish to 
be set doAvn. The young gentleman, there¬ 
fore, desired the driver to stop, and spring¬ 
ing himself from the coach, took the infant 
in his arms, and then, along Avith the guard, 
assisted her to descend. 
“ May God rcAvard you,” she said, as he 
returned the baby to her, “ for your kind¬ 
ness to tho AvidoAv and fatherless this day.” 
“ And may He bless )' 0 U,” replied he, 
“Avith all spiritual consolation in Jesus 
Christ.” 
So saying, he slipped something- into her 
hand; the AvidoAV opened it instinctively. I 
saAv tAVO soATreigns glitter on her palm; she 
dropped a tear upon the money, and turned 
around to thank her benefactor; bxit he hak 
already resumed his seat upon the coach.— 
She cast tOAvard him an eloquent and grate¬ 
ful look, pressed her infant convidsively to 
her bosom, and Avalked hurriedly aAvay. 
No other passengers Avishing to alight at 
the same place, Ave Avere soon again in rapid 
motion tOAvards the great emporium of the 
Avest of Scotland. Not a Avord Avas spoken. 
The young- gentleman sat Avith his arms 
crossed upon his breast; and, if I might 
judge by the expression of his countenance, 
Avas evidently revolving- some scheme of be- 
neA'olence in his mind. The dandies re¬ 
garded him Avith bhmk amazement. They 
also had seen the gold in the poor AvidoAv’s 
hand, and seemed to think that there Avas 
more under that shabby surtout than their 
“puppy” brains could easily conjecture.— 
That, in this, they Avere right, Avas speedily 
made manifest 
When Ave had entered Gla,sgOAv, and Avere 
approaching- the Buck’s Head, the inn at 
Avhich our conveyance Avas to stop, an open 
traveling carriage, draAvn by four beautiful 
horses, drove up in an opposite direction.— 
The elegance of this equipage made the 
dandies spring- to their feet 
“What beautiful greys!” cried the one, 
“I AA’onder Avhom they can belong to?” 
“ He is a happy felloAA', any Iioaa-,” replied 
the other. “ I AA^ould give half of York¬ 
shire to call them mine.” 
The stage coach and the traveling car¬ 
riage stopped at the Buck’s, Head at the 
same moment, and a footman laced in livery 
springing- doAvn from behind the latter, look¬ 
ed first inside and then at the top of tho 
former, Avhen he lifted his hat AA'ith a smile 
i-espectful of recognition. 
“ Are you ail Avell at the castle, Robert ?” 
inquired the young gentleman in the sur¬ 
tout.” 
“All Avell my Lord.” replied the footman. 
At the sound of the monosyllables the fa¬ 
ces of the y ouvlg exquisites became A'isibly 
elongated; but Avithout taking- the smallest 
notice' of them or their confusion, the noble¬ 
man politely Avished me a good morning-; 
and descending- from the coach, caused the 
footman to place his cloak and despised port¬ 
manteau in the carriage. He then stepped 
into it himself, and the footman stepping- up 
behind, the coachman touched the leaders 
vei-y slightly Avith his Avhip, and the equi¬ 
page and its noble OAvner Avere soon out of 
sight. 
“ Pray Avhat nobleman is that ?” said one 
of the dandies to the landlord, as Ave enter¬ 
ed the inn. 
“ The Earl of H-, sir,” replied the 
landlord; “one of the best men, as Avell as 
one of the richest in Scotland.” 
“ The Earl of H-repeated the dan¬ 
dy, turning to his companion; “ Avhat asses 
Ave have been I there’s an end to all chance 
of being- alloAved to shoot on his estate.” 
“ 0! yes, Ave may burn our letters of in¬ 
troduction Avhen Ave please,” rejoined his 
companion; and silent and crest fallen, both 
Avalked up stairs to their apartments. 
Fish Fascinated by Music.— In Ger¬ 
many, the shad is taken by means of nets 
to AA'hich boAvs of Avood are affixed, hung 
Avith a number of small bells, Avhich are at¬ 
tached in such a manner as to chime in har¬ 
mony Avhen the nets are moved. The shad 
Avhen once attracted by the sound, Avill not 
attempt to escape Avhile the bells continue 
to ring. HHian mentions that in ancient 
limes the .shad ’-as allured by the sounds 
of castanets. 
History.— Whatever instruction is reap¬ 
ed from history may be reaped from a neAvs- 
paper, Avhich is the histor}- of the Avorld for 
one day. It is the history of that Avorld in 
Avhich Ave nOAV live, and Avith Avhich Ave are, 
consequently, more immediately connected 
than with those Avhich have passed aAvay, 
and exist only in remembrance. 
Valuable Products.— A stranger pas¬ 
sing- through one of the mountain tOAvns of 
Noav England, inquired, “What can you 
raise here?” The ansAver AA"a.s, “Our land 
is rough and poor, Ave can raise but little 
produce, and so Ave build school-houses and 
churches and raise men.” 
A Bright Girl.— An infidel remarked, 
Avithin the hearing of a little girl of thir¬ 
teen, that all things came by chance, and 
that the Avorld, like a mushroon, sprang up 
in the night. “I should like to knoAv, sir,” 
she asked, “where the seed came from.”

FAIR HITS. 
A LATE loAva paper in descanting on the 
etymology of Texas, derives it from “talca 
ns” By Avay of illustration, the editor in¬ 
troduces the folloAving lines: 
“ When every land rejects ns. 
Here is the land tliat freely t.akes us.’’ 
A Texian editor thus returns the compli¬ 
ment on his loAva brother, deriA'ing loAva 
from “hie aAA'ay:” 
“ Wlicn for our country's good from hence \vc stray, 
To some more lawless land wo niK away.” 
This reminds us of the. poetical Avarfare 
of a native of Ohio and ilissouri. The ^lis- 
sourian leveled the folloAving impromtu at 
his opponent: 
“ Your men are women, and wlierc’er they go 
You hear their sickening whine of on hkigh on.” 
For Avhich the Buckeye’s retort on the Mis¬ 
sourian Avas 
“Where are the d—d? Wliy, where they ought 
to be. 
In tlic lost state of sin and .Missouri.'’ 
MATERNAL SOLICITUDE. 
YVe are amused and annoyed, pleased 
and half disposed to be angry, Avith an in¬ 
stance of maternal solicitude, of Avhich Ave 
Avere made tlie innocent victim, a fcAv days 
since. YVe had spent that evening- from our 
boarding house, and on the folloAving morn¬ 
ing we Avere subjected to a catechizing after 
this manner:— 
“ Y ou Avere out last night ?” 
“Yes, madam.” 
“YVas you at the office ?” 
“No, madam.” 
“YVas you far aAvay ?” 
“Not vei-}L” 
“Spending- the et’ening A\ith some lady 
friend, perhaps ?” 
“Yes, madam.” 
“Ah! \-eiy pleasant to do that!” 
“ Y'Yi'}’.” 
“YVlio Avas she, Mr. S. ?” 
“Lord, madam”—Ave began to be a lit¬ 
tle impatient—“if you and your amiable 
daughter must knoAv, 1 called on the Avash- 
Avoman to get mij other shirt!” 
The landlady vanished.— Ex.'paper. 
Quick in her Applic.4tion.— “It amaz¬ 
es me ministers don’t Avrite better sermons 
— I am sick of the dull, prose affairs,” said 
a lady in the presence of a parson. 
“ But it is no oa.sy matter, my good avo- 
man, to Avrite good sermons,” suggi^sted the 
minister. 
“Yes,” rejoined the lady, “but you are so 
long about it ; I could Avrite one in half the 
time, if J only had the text.” 
“Oh, if a te.xt is all you want,” said the 
parson, “I aauII furnish you that. Take this 
from Solomon: ‘It is better to dAvell in a 
corner of a house-top, than Avith a braAvl- 
ing Avoman in a Avide house.’ ” 
“ Do you mean me, sir ?” inquired the 
lady, quickly. 
“Oh, my good AVoman,” Avas the graA'e 
response, “you Avill never make a good ser- 
monizer! you are too soon in your cqypHca- 
tion” 
D.ancing. —The folloAving- nautical meth¬ 
od of dancing- Avas found among the papers 
of the late Admiral Sir Joseph York, of 
facetious memory: 
“Third figure. Heave ahead and pass 
your advei-sary yard arm and yard arm— 
regain your birth on the other tack in the 
same order—take your station Avith your 
partner in line—back and fill—fall on your 
heel and bring- up Avith your partner. She 
then manoeuvres ahead—heaves all back 
— shoots ahead again—and pays off along¬ 
side you. Then make sail in company Avith 
her till nearly astern of the other line— 
make a stern-board—and cast her off' to 
shift for herself—regain your place by the 
best means in your poAver, and let go your 
anchor. 
Led Astray.— A good story Avas recent¬ 
ly told at a temperance meeting- in Ncav 
H ampshire. A man came up to a YVash- 
ingtonian, Avith the inquiiy: 
“Gan you tell me AA'here I can get any¬ 
thing to drink ?” 
“Oh, yes,” said the other, “folloAV me.” 
The man folloAved him through tAvo or 
three streets till he began to be discouraged. 
“ lioAV much further must I go ?” said he. 
“ Only a few steps further,” said the Wash¬ 
ingtonian, '■'■there's theimmp!” 
Tlie man turned about and “moved his 
boots.” 
The St. Louis Organ tells the folloAving 
good story; 
“ A friend tells us that in coming doAvn 
the ilississippi, a short time ago, on a steam¬ 
boat, one of the passengers one night at¬ 
tracted his attention by exclaiming in his 
sleep, ‘I can beat that dive anyhow.’ Our 
relator immediately looked tOAvards the man, 
Avhen lo! he saAV liim tumble headforemost 
from his berth on to the floor. ‘There,’ 
said the diver, ‘I touched bottom, anyhoAv,’ 
and then climbed up into his berth again 
Avithout Avaking.”
