MONODY. 
The following lines are a slight tribute to the memory of 
Miss Sophie McNadohton, of Mumford, Monroe county, 
a young lady pf rare talents and loved by all honored witli 
her acquaintance; 
She lies the green turf under, 
Regardless of our tears, 
From sun and air excluded 
In the May-time of her years; 
Wild violets are springing 
To decorate the spot, 
And birds are blithely singing, 
But, ah! she hears them not. 
When frosts untimely falling, 
Kill fragile flower and leaf, 
Within the heart a feeling 
Awakes akin to grief; 
And often in the summer 
We mark, with look ferlom. 
Thick clouds that darken suddenly 
The luster of the morn. 
Think not of blossom withered. 
Or over-clouded dawn, 
When those of rare endowments 
Forever are withdrawn: 
Beneath the turf we lay them 
In anguish hard to bear. 
And resignation comes not 
To brighten our despair. 
I know that friends may whisper. 
Though bitterly bereaved, 
In sorrow’s funeral web-work 
Are threads of gold inwcaved; 
They died ere chilled the fountain 
Of bliss within the soul. 
Or sin’s deforming characters 
Made dark life’s chequred scroll. 
We ill can spare thus early 
A loveliness so bright; 
To helpless age more fitting 
Is death and starless night! 
We fain would clasp such treasures 
The bower of home to cheer. 
And lent a gleam of sunshine 
To earth so dark and drear. 
Though many were her rivals 
In Learning’s crowded hall. 
She won the prize of honor. 
Esteemed and loved by all; 
The modesty of merit 
Was written on her face. 
And by her mates unenvied 
She held the highest place. 
Not all of her hath perished ! 
Her young and ardent mind 
Hath left a written record 
Of burning thoughts behind; 
And memories of her outlive 
Death’s desolating power. 
Like fragrance clinging to the leaf 
When blighted stalk and flower.

UNCLE BILL. 
A SKETCH ABOUT LOVE AND GOLD DUST. 
Uncle Bill Griffin, or Uncle Bill as he 
was commonly called, with an irreverent 
disregard of his patronymic, did not retire 
from the ship chandlery business till he was 
worth something more than a plum. Not^ 
being blessed with a son to continue his 
name and inherit his fortune, he lavished all 
his tenderness and care upon his daughter. 
Sweet Molly Griffin, thou wert as unlike 
thy papa, as a canary bird is like a bull-dog. 
His face was as hard as a Dutch nut-crack¬ 
er, tliine as soft as a roseleaf. He was the 
veriest miser in all creation — thou didst 
spend thy pocket-money as liberally as a 
Prince of Wales. In liis household man¬ 
agement, Uncle Bill was a consummate skin¬ 
flint; tradition said that he used to soak the 
backlogs in the cistern, and water the lamp 
oil, and he was aided and abetted in all his 
niggardly domestic schemes by a vinegar¬ 
faced old house-keeper, who was the sworn 
enemy of all good cheer, and stinted from 
a pure love of meanness. Yet pretty Mary 
had no reason to complain of her father’s 
penuriousness, as far as she was concerned. 
He sent her to the best schools, and gave 
her a carie blanche on the most expensive 
milliners, and when she walked Washington 
street of a sun-shiny spring day, there was 
no more gaily-bedecked damsel to be seen 
from Cornhill to Essex street 
Of course several very nice young men 
in varnished leather and white kids fell over 
head and ears in love with her, and there 
was a larger number of whiskers collected 
outside of the meeting she attended on 
Sunday, than darkened the doorsteps of any 
other metropolitan church. 
Yet cold W. 1 S tlie maid, and though legions advanced, 
All drilled in Ovidian art, 
Though they langusihed and ogled, protested and danced, 
Like siiadows tliey came, and like shadows they glanced. 
From the pure polished ice of her heart. 
Besides, old Uncle Bill was a formidable 
guardian to his attractive daughter. Did 
he not fire a charge of rock salt into the in¬ 
expressibles of Tom Bilkins, when he came 
serenading with a cracked guitar ? Didn’t 
he threaten to kick Towle for leaving a Val¬ 
entine at his door ? Wasn’t he capable of 
unheard of atrocities ? The suitors of pret¬ 
ty Mary were all frightened off the course 
by her ogre of a father, except a steady 
yoimg fellow who rejoiced in the name of 
Sampson Bittles, and who was addicted to 
book-keeping in a whole.sale grocery store 
on Commercial street The old gentleman 
really liked Bittles; he was so staid, so quiet, 
anti so full of useful information. He was 
a regular price current, and no man on 
change was better acquainted with the val¬ 
ue of stocks. Why Mary liked him, it is 
more difficult to conjecture, for he was very 
deficient in the small talk that young ladies 
are so fond of, was averse to mustachios, 
disliked the opera, thought the ballet im¬ 
moral,, and considered waltzing indelicate. 
Perhaps his good looks compensated for oth-

“ Sly dog! ” chuckled old Griffin. “ I’m 
much obliged to you for the hint. I’ll act 
accordingly. Good morning.” 
Now, it happened the Californian was a 
good friend of Bittles, and that the story of 
Bittles’ misfortune was absolutely true, he
