I downa laugh, I downa sing, 
Though sweet, bewitching looks I see. 
Though smiles abound, and wine goes round, 
And every eye is turned on me; 
For there is one out of the ring. 
Who never can forgotten be; 
Aye, there’s a blank at my right hand. 
That ne’er can be made up to mel 
’Tis said, ns water wears the rock. 
That time wears out the deepest line; 
It may be true, wi’ hearts anew. 
But never shall apply to mine; 
For I have lived to know and feel. 
Though losses should forgotten be, 
That still the blank at my right hand, 
Can never be made up to me! 
I blame not Providence’s sway. 
For I have many joys beside. 
And I would fain wi’ grateful heart 
Esteem the same whate’er betide. 
A mortal thing should ne’er repine. 
But stoop to the Divine decree,— 
Yet, oh ! the blank at my right hand, 
Can never be made up to me I

THE SHEEIFF'S VISIT. 
BY SYLVANUS COBB, JR. 
On the banks of the beautiful Kennebec 
stood a neat cottage, around which were to 
be seen all those marks of neatness which 
denote the presence of the New England 
dame. No one ever passed that dwelling 
without bestowing a mental approbation up¬ 
on the handiwork there expressed, and stop¬ 
ping to admire the beautiful walks border¬ 
ed with their rich foliage and variegated 
flowers. The inmates of the cottage were 
an old lady, over whose head the silvering 
frosts of seventy years had laid their blight¬ 
ing touch, her widowed daughter, and a 
bright-eyed girl, who called the old lady 
“grandmother,” and whose features were 
so nearly a reflection of the face of the 
young widow, that we at once recognize her 
daughter. 
At the moment when we introduce the 
reader to the cottage, there were marks of 
sadness upon the features of its inmates.— 
Long years had passed since Mrs. Green 
had been blessed with the protection of her 
husband, and her declining years were ren¬ 
dered dark and dubious by the remorseless 
grasp of poverty. Her daughter, Lucy, 
had lost her husband three years previous¬ 
ly, and sickness, with all its concomitants, 
had so reduced their little store, that the 
cottage was already advertised for sale. 
“Alas! Lucy,” remarked the old lady, 
one evening, as they sat beneath the little 
trellised arbor which was raised over the 
front doorway, “ we shall soon be obliged to 
leave this home of your childhood. For 
myself I care not much, for the sands in my 
glass are well nigh run out, and I have but 
a short time, at best, to experience the evils 
that threaten us. 13ut you, my child, you 
who are even now weak and helpless from 
disease — ’tis for you that I most fear.” 
“ Don’t weep for me, dear mother,” re¬ 
plied the stricken widow; “ surely you need 
a home for yourself, and ’tis for you that I 
should weep.” 
And they did weep. The little bright¬ 
eyed Kate put forth her ruddy, rounded 
arms, and told them not to cry. She could 
not understand why her mother and her 
grandmamma should weep, when all around 
appeared so fresh and beautiful. Then, in 
the instinctive sympathy of her young heart, 
she fell upon her mother’s neck and her 
own tears mingled with those she fain would 
have stopped. 
That night Mi-s. Green and her widowed 
daughter laid their heads upon their pillows, 
and the agonizing thought that this might 
be the last night beneath that time-endear¬ 
ed roof, kept them long awake. On the 
morrow they knew that the officers of the 
stern law would sell their house, and from 
the character of the creditors, it was an 
easy conclusion to arrive at, that they 
should receive immediate orders to quit 
The morrow arrived, and as the sun came 
peeping over the tall trees that waved over 
the gently flowing waters of the Kennebec, 
the crowd began to collect aorund the de- 
• voted cottage. The sheriff was there, and 
as his ominous badge met the gaze of Mrs. 
Green and her daughter, the old lady ut¬ 
tered a heavy groan and sank back into a 
chair. 
“ 0, kind sir 1 ” exclaimed the poor wo¬ 
man, as the officer entered the house, “ can 
nothing be done to avert this blow ? ” 
“I fear not,” replied the sheriff, who 
seemed really touched by the miseiy of 
that family. 
“ But surely Mr. Vamp will not tmm us 
out of our house till we can find some other 
roof beneath which to seek a shelter,” 
cried Lucy, as she drew the wondering 
Kate to her side and imprinted a warm kiss 
upon her blooming cheek, and at the same 
time threw her arm around the neck of her 
aged mother. 
“His orders are imperative,” replied the 
sheriff’; “ he says he has waited for his mo¬ 
ney long enough, and as yoxx apjgear to have 
no means of settling the interest, he is obli¬ 
ged to foreclose the mortgage.” 
Even that functionary who for years had 
executed the laws of Kennebec County, 
wiped a struggling tear from his eye as he 
turned away from that sorrow-sticken group. 
As the sale commenced, the attention of 
those who stood nearest the bank was ar¬ 
rested by the appearance of a small schoon¬ 
er which had just come up the river, and 
which was now coming-to opposite the cot¬ 
tage. As her head came into the wind, 
her halyards went by the run, and her an¬ 
chor splashed heavily in the water. 
As the small boat which had been lower¬ 
ed from the schooner’s stern touched the 
low, sandy shore, an old man, bent under 
the weight of years and apparent affliction, 
stepped from its bow and and took his way 
up towards the cottage. He walked swift¬ 
ly for one so old, and .there burned in his 
eye an unwonted fire, that told of some sin¬ 
gle purpose upon wliich his whole mind 
was fixed. The crowd around the house 
instinctively gave way as the stranger ap¬ 
proached, and the last sound of “Jive hun¬ 
dred — going, going,'’ died away upon the 
lips of the auctioneer, as he arrived at the 
stand of that functionaiy. 
“ Five hundred and Jifty ! ” exclaimed the 
new comer, as he cast liis eyes around upon 
the comfortable arrangements presented by 
the cottage and its fixtures. 
Until the present moment, Mr. Vamp had 
seemed determined to get possession of the 
cottage, and in order to do so had outbid 
several individuals, who, had they obtained 
possession, would have exercised some mer¬ 
cy towards the bereaved family; but he 
seemed not disposed to go over the last bid, 
for he had not the ability; nor could any of 
the widow’s friends help her in this last 
emergency, and the property was passed 
over by the hammer to the old man who 
had so imexpectedly appeared upon the 
scene. 
The crowd had dispersed, and the old 
man entered the humble dwelling. His 
heart was touched by the distress of the in¬ 
mates, and his apparent sympathy did not 
fail to attract the attention of Mrs. Green, 
and feeling a strange confidence in the pow¬ 
er of her sorrow, she sprang forward and 
grasped his hand. 
“ 0, kind sir,” exclaimed the old lady, 
while the tears trickled down her deeply 
furrowed cheeks, “ you will not drive us out 
from our home.” 
“•No, don’t make poor grandma go away 
th the old poor house. O, you won’t will 
you ? ” supplicated the little curly-headed 
Kate, as she clasped her arms around the 
stranger’s knees. 
From the aged grandmother and the 
bright-eyed child, the old man turned his 
eyes to the weeping widow who sat by the 
open wmdow, and covering his face with his 
hands, he sank into a chair and wept 
For the first time the younger female 
raised her eyes, and closely regarded the 
features of the old man, from which he was 
now wiping the falling tears. With her 
heart leaping fearfully in its narrow prison 
house, she started forward and fell upon 
her knees before him, then frantically throw¬ 
ing her arms around his neck, she buried 
her face in his bosom, and murmured— 
“ Father ! ” 
“ Great God, it is! ” burst from the lips 
of Mrs. Green, as she strained her weak, 
SAvimming eyes, and drank in the image be¬ 
fore her, “ it is my husband! ” and the next 
instant her head was pillowed upon that 
breast within which, beat the noble lieart 
that years before had been pledged to her, 
wi.th all its holy affections. 
The old privateersman had spent long 
years in an English prison, but the close of 
the war and the restox'ation of peace set him 
once more at liberty, and through the in¬ 
tervention of influential friends, he had se¬ 
cured a large portion of the prize money 
which was taken with him, together with a 
liberal sum from the proceeds of his vessel. 
The little Kate has grown to be a woman, 
and any one who may chance to sail up the 
Kennebec in our company, shall be point¬ 
ed to a neat, white cottage, peeping out 
from the graceful foliage by the bank of 
the river, beneath the roof of which she 
rears a loving family, happy and contented. 
Dreamy Life.—W ouldn’t you call a 
man a fool Avho should spend all his time 
fishing up oysters with the expectation of 
finding a pearl ? But is he really more un¬ 
wise than hundreds, Avho, Avith their hands 
in their pockets, and cigars in their mouths, 
are Avaiting for something to turn up or over, 
that will throAv them at once into business 
and fortune. They may Avait until dooms¬ 
day, and longer, if possible, before their fond 
expectation Avill be realized. If there is a 
kind of life Ave abominate, it is a lingering, 
waiting, lazy, dreamy sort of existence, over 
which angels and true men weep with un¬ 
feigned sorrow. 
A GENTLEMAN Avas lately inquiring for a 
young lady of his acquaintance. “She is 
dead,” very gravely replied the person to 
whom he addrssed his inquires. “ Is it possi¬ 
ble! I never heard of it—what was her 
disease?” “Vanity,” returned the other; 
“ she buried herself alive in the arms of an 
old fellow of seventy, with a fortune, in or¬ 
der to have the satisfaction of a gilded 
tomb.”

DOING A DANDY. 
As the cars were about leaving a village 
in the interior of Massachusetts, not long 
since, a rather verdant looking specimen of 
humanity in the form of a tall Vermonter, 
was seen making large tracks for the depot, 
which he reached just in time to jump 
aboard the train as it departed. After for 
a moment drawing breath, Avhich he had 
lost it the race, Jonathan walked boldly into 
one of the cars, containing some twenty or 
thirty passengers, and pushing on with long 
ungainly strides, seated himself by the stove, 
and after taking a long stare at the passen¬ 
gers, commenced warming himself. 
Among the passengers in the car, was a 
young man belonging to that class general¬ 
ly known as “city dandies.” His person was 
small and thin, yet he was dressed in the 
extreme of city fashion; his upper lip, as 
was a portion of his face, was covered with 
a growth of sandy-colored hair, while a 
stiffly starched collar reached nearly to the 
top of his head. Indeed he had a most ex¬ 
quisite air, and whenever he spoke his words 
were pecuharly mincing. 
The dandy sat looking listlessly out of the 
window as Jonathan entered the car.— 
Turning round, and observing the character 
of the intruder, he seemed convinced that 
there was a rare opportunity for fun, which 
he determined not to let pass, and Jonathan 
suddenly found himself the subject of the 
dandy’s Avit But he calmly bore the taunts 
and jeers of the dandy, and seemed, in fact, 
unconscious of what was going on, until the 
latter had nearly exhausted his fountain of 
blackguardism, when Jonathan for the first 
time looked toward the seat occupied by the 
dandy. As his eyes fell on that personage, 
he looked surprised, his face grew radiant, 
and relaxing his bronze features into a sort 
of grin, he arose and strode across the car 
toward him. 
“Wall, I swow!” commenced the Ver¬ 
monter, as he grasped the dandy’s skinny 
hand Avithin his own and gave it a tremend¬ 
ous squeeze, “ who’d a thought it! didn’t 
hardly know you at first. I say, old feller, 
how’d dye du ? I’m railly glad to see ye!” 
Here a shriek from the dandy, followed 
by a volly of curses, as he drew his now al¬ 
most crushed hand from his grasp, caused 
Jonathan to halt suddenly in his exclama¬ 
tions, and he commenced apologizing for his 
rudeness. 
“I swow, I didn’t mean to hurt your 
hand, but it does seem good to meet old 
’quaintances, ’specially amongst strangers; 
perhaps tho’, you don’t remember me, but 
I do you, and that’s jest as well.” 
“ What do you mean, you impudent pup ?” 
exclaimed the dandy, his shallow face crim¬ 
soned Avith anffer. 
O 
“ Oh, Mister, there’s no use in flashing 
up; you can’t deny it” 
“ Deny what ?” demanded the dandy em¬ 
phatically. 
“ I say. Mister,” continued Jonathan, not 
heeding the interruption, and with a know¬ 
ing wink of the eye, “ hoAv long is it since 
you got out?” 
“ Do you mean to insult a gentleman ?” 
shouted the dandy, springing from his seat 
“Be quiet friend,” said Jonathan, and 
then continued,- “ didn’t they use you Avell 
there — didn’t give you good fodder, eh ! 
or Avan’t your cage large enough ?” 
“Begone you scoundrel!” shouted the 
dandy huskily. 
. “ I say. Mister, have you got that ring off 
your neck yet ?” continued Jonathan seizing 
hold of the stiffly starched collar of the 
other, and pulling it back to examine his 
neck, with such force as to start it from its 
foundation, and cause it to hang by one cor¬ 
ner down the dandy’s back. 
This was too much; the dandy could not 
endure it; pale and trembling with anger, 
he attempted to speak, but words failed him. 
“ Look ’ere, friends,” said Jonathan, ad¬ 
dressing the amazed passengers, while he 
took the dandy by the arm and turning him 
around two or three times, so as to expose 
him to their view, “ perhaps you don’t ImoAV 
it; but this is the very same Ourang- Outang 
that was exhibited at the managerie that 
came up to Vermount a spell ago!” 
The roars of laughter that rang through 
the cars at this announcement were really 
alarming; every one Avas seized with con¬ 
vulsions and the conductor, startled by the 
universal noise, rushed in to see what was 
the matter. The train stopped at this mo¬ 
ment at a way-station, and the last seen of 
the crest fallen dandy he was clearing the 
train, muttering curses too fearful to repeat 
A Hard Blow.— On the shores of Lake 
Ontario, near the village of Oswego, or 
‘’Swago,’ as they used to call it in the 
‘ked’ntry,’ there are hundreds of those pe¬ 
culiar holes or cells made by bank-swallows. 
On one occasion there was a tremendous 
gale on the lake, the effect of which was 
thus described by an eye-witness to the 
‘ear-witness’ who gives the record to us:— 
“I never see such a gale in my life — never! 
It blew so hard that it blew all the sand off 
the bank, and left the swallow-holes sticking 
out afoot and a half!”
