passing: Away. 
I asked the stars In the pomp of night. 
Gliding its blackness with crowns of light, 
Bright with beauty and gilt with power. 
Whether eternity were not their dowerl 
And dirge-like music stole from tlteir splieres. 
Bearing the message to mortal ears. 
We have no light that hath not been given, 
We have no strength but shall soon be riven. 
We have no power wherein man may trust. 
Like him, we are things of time and dust; 
And the legend we blazon with beam and ray. 
And the rong of our silence is passing away. 
We shall fade in our beauty, the fair and the bright; 
Like lamps that have served for a festal night; 
Ami shall fall from out spheres, tlie old and strong. 
Like rose leaves swept by the breeze along; 
Though worshipped as gods in the olden day, 
We shall be like a vain dream, passing away. 
From the stars of heaven to the flowers of earth. 
From the pageant of power and the voice of mirth, 
From the mists of morn on the mountain’s brow. 
From childhood’s song and aflection’s vow; 
From all save that o’er which soul bears sway, 
Breathes but one record, passing away. 
Passing away, sing the breeze and rlll. 
As they sweep on their course by vale and hill; 
Through the varying scenes of each earthly clime, 
’Tis the lesfon of nature, the voice of lime; 
And the man at last, like his fathers grey. 
Writes on his own dust, passing away.

OUT OF HEART. 
BY KLLEN ASHTON. 
“Why so sad, Ernest?” said the young 
•wife to her husband, affectionately twining 
her arms around his neck and kissing liim. 
fie looked up with a sad smile and re¬ 
plied : 
“ I am almost out of heart, Mary. I 
think of all pursuits, a physidan’s profession 
is the worst. Here I have been, week after- 
week and month after month — and I may 
soon say year after year—waiting for prac¬ 
tice, yet without success. A lawyer may 
volunteer, in a celebrated case, and so make 
himself known j but a physician must sit 
patiently in his office, and, if unknown, see 
men without half his acquirements rolling 
in wealth, while he perhaps is starving.— 
Apd it Avill soon come to that,” he added 
bitterly, “ if I do not get employment” 
An unbidden tear stole into the wife’s 
eye, but she strove to smile, and said: 
{ “Do not despond, Ernest; I know you 
^ have been unfortunate so far, but you have 
j talents and knowledge to make your way 
( as soon as you get a start And depend 
I upon it” she added with a cheerful look, 
“ that will come when you least expect it” 
“ So you have told me often; but the 
lucky hour has never come,” said her hus¬ 
band dcspondingly. “ And now every cent 
of my little fortune has been expendcd,_and 
our credit will soon be gone when it is 
found we do not pay. What then is to be- 
\ come of us ? ” 
^ Ernest was in a mood which the most 
( sanguine sometimes experience, Avhen dis- 
• appointment has crushed the spirit and the 
\ voice of hope is no longer heard within.— 
I His wife Avould have given way to tears, if 
) she had been alone; but she felt the ne- 
) cessity of sustaining him, and answered 
j cheerfully: 
“And Avhat if every cent is gone?— 
Have no fear that we shall starve. God 
sent ravens to feed Elijah, and He will yet 
interpose for our aid. Trust in Him, dear 
Erndst” 
The husband felt rebuked, as she thus 
spoke, and answered less dcspondingly: 
“ But really, Mary, this want of success 
would try the stoutest spirit The mechan¬ 
ic, the day laborer, the humblest farmer, is 
sure of his food and raiment; but I, after 
having spent years in study, have wasted 
years besides waiting for practice; and now 
ivhen all ray fortune is gone, if I resort to 
other means of livelihood, I lose all that 
I have spent, both of time and money, and 
) must forever abandon the idea of pursuing 
{ my profession. It is too hard! ’’ and he 
I) arose and walked the room with rapid 
I ^ strides. 
( His wife sighed and remained silent. 
? But after a moment or two she arose, 
went up to him, and fondly encircling him 
with her arm, said: 
^“Dear Ernest, you must not worry your¬ 
self so. You think it painful for me to bear 
poverty, I know, or you would not take it 
so hard; but a woman never regards such 
things when she loves. A crust of bread, 
a log-cabin, would be preferable to me if I 
shared them with you, than a palace with 
any other. But it will not come to this.— 
Something within assures me you will yet 
be great and rich. Have patience only a 
little while longer. There—there is a knock 
at the door now—it may be for you.’’ 
As if her words had been prophetic the 
little girl, their only servant, appeared at 
this crisis, and said the doctor was wanted 
in a great hurry. With an exulting smile 
his wife ran for his ha4 and then sat down 
with a beating heart to wait his return. 
It was almost the first summons that the 
young physician had. received, though he 
had resided in the village for more than a 
year. The place, too, was large and popu¬ 
lous, but there resided medical men of large 
practice, and all these combined to put 
down their young rival. More than once 
heretofore Ernest would have abandoned 
the field in despair; but his young wife 
cheered and encouraged him, though some¬ 
times her own heart felt ready to give up. 
Mary Linwood was, indeed, that greatest of 
all blessings, a good wife: she sympathized 
W'ith her husband, economized to the ut¬ 
most, and by her sanguine words chased 
despondency from his heart 
Hour after hour she sat there awaiting 
her husband, yet still he came not At last 
darkness sat in and she began to feel unea¬ 
sy. She was about rising to go to the door, 
when she heard her husband’s foot on the 
step, and hurrying out she met him in the 
hall. 
“ God bless you, Mary, for an angel as 
you are,” were his first words. “ If it had 
not been for you I should have given up 
long ago, and now my fortune is made.” 
Breathless with anxiety to hear all, yet 
not unmindful of his probably wearied con¬ 
dition, Mary hurried her husband into the 
little sitting-room where the tea things were 
laid, and began to pour the refreshing bev¬ 
erage with a trembling hand, while Ernest 
told the history of his day’s absence. 
“I found,”*he said, “ I was sent for to 
old Governor Houston’s—the richest and 
most influential man, you know, in the coun 
try—and when I got there I learned to my 
surprise that the Governor had been thrown 
from his earriage and was thought to be 
dying. All the physicians of the towm had 
been sent for one after another, but none 
could aid him. In despair, his wife, with¬ 
out orders, had sent for me. I saw his on¬ 
ly chance for life depended on a new and 
difficult operation, which none of the old¬ 
er physicians had ever seen performed.— 
Luckily T had assisted at one when a stu¬ 
dent. I stated what I thought could be 
done. The old Governor is a man of iron 
nerves and quick resolution, so when he 
heard the others say they could do nothing 
for him, he determined to commit himself 
to my hands. I succeeded beyond my 
hopes; even the other physicians were for¬ 
ced to acknowledge my skill, and there is 
nothing now but care required to make ray 
patient as well as ever. On parting he put 
this roll of notes in my hands.” 
Mary was in tears long before her hus¬ 
band had finished his narration; but her 
heart went up in thankfulness to God for 
having thus interposed just at the crisis 
when hope seemed gone. 
From that day Ernest Linwood was a 
made man. The fiime of his skillful ope¬ 
ration was in every one’s mouth; and, by 
the aid of his patient, who now became his 
patron, he stepped at once into practice 
among the best families, of the place.— 
Wealth as well as reputation flowed in upon 
him; but he always attributed his success 
to his wife, whose affection, he said, had 
cheered and sustained him when out of 
heart. 
“ There is nothing,” he would sa}’, “ like 
a faithful Avife: under God our weal or woe 
for this life depends on her. If she is de¬ 
sponding, your own sanguine spirit catches 
the infection; but if she is full of hope and 
energy, her smiles will cheer you in the 
darkest hours and enable you to achieve 
what you, at first, thought impossibilities. 
Our success in this Avorld, as well as hap¬ 
piness, depends chiefly on our wives. Let 
a man marry one, therefore, “ equal to eith¬ 
er fortune,” who can adorn his riches or 
brighten his poverty; and Avho, under all 
circumstances, will be truly his helpmate.” 
NOTABILITIES IN CONGRESS. 
Grace Greenavood, Avho has been spend¬ 
ing some time in Washington, pays her re¬ 
spects to the great men of Congress in a 
very pleasant strain. She thus Avrites in 
the Saturday Evening Post, of what she 
saAV on her first visit to the Capitol: 
Webster and Clay I had seen before, yet 
I should have singled them out, I think, had 
I not knoAvn them. The unapproachable 
grandeur of Webster’s head—the imperi¬ 
ous eye of Clay—the Wellingtonion front 
of Benton, Avho could mistake ? 
There Avas that morning, an animated dis¬ 
cussion on the Compromise bill, of Avhich 
you will liAve seen the report. Clay, Web¬ 
ster, Benton, SeAvard, and Foote, .Avere a- 
mong the speakers. Mr. Clay Avas suffering 
from recent indisposition, but he spoke Avith 
great energy and Avith keen flashings of his 
wonderful eye. It cannot be denied, how¬ 
ever, that he oftener parried the attacks of 
his opponents with Avit, than met them in 
argument. At one time, Avhen Benton Avas 
thundering out a severe passage directed es¬ 
pecially to him, he bent forward and placed 
his hand to his ear, in the attitude of listen¬ 
ing, saying, “Speak a little louder!” But 
ere the close of the debate, this early morn¬ 
ing coolness forsook the distinguished Sena¬ 
tor—there Averesome keener passes betAveen 
him and Benton, and both the honorable and 
venerable Senators seemed somewhat obliv¬ 
ious of the little proprieties naturally to be 
expected of such “ potent, grave, and rever¬ 
end seigniors.” 
Webster’s manner in speaking had a sort 
of solemn heaviness, which may have been 
impressive, but Avhich certainly was not in¬ 
spiring. I Avas surprised to find Senator 
Foote a slight, genial-looking, elderly gen¬ 
tleman. I had supposed him to be a yoimg- 
er and a more fiery-visaged individual. He 
is a most restless statesman—seems afflicted 
with a sort of patriotic form of the dance St 
Vitus—is on his feet with every opportuni¬ 
ty, pouring forth “ burning fluids” of speech 
and inflammable gases of Southern democ¬ 
racy. In strong contrast was the calm, self- 
possessed Yankee coolness of Seward, Avho 
ncA’Cr moves from his positions, nor suffers 
himself to be “riled” in the least. Gen. 
Cass has a good, easy, uncle-ish appearance, 
and his face has a rather dull, after-dinner 
expression, ftot indicative of transcendent 
abilities, but Avhich may do him injustice.— 
Senator Houston amuses me greatly as I 
look doAvn upon him from the gallery. He 
sits at his desk and ivhittles diligently and 
deliberately by the hour, very much with 
the air and expression of some Avorthy, com¬ 
placent, stout spectacled old lady at her 
knitting—pretty well satisfied Avith things 
in general, and thinking of nothing in par¬ 
ticular. Now and then, he pauses to take 
a fresh piece of timber, or sharpen his knife, 
as said worthy old lady might pause to take 
up a stitch, or regale herself Avith a pinch 
of snuff. Apropos of snuff, I perceive that 
most of the honorable Senators are “ up to 
that.” A Avhig may be seen passing his 
box by a democrat who passes it to a 
Southern ultraist, Avno passes it to'a North¬ 
ern “ incendiary” — and all three forget 
their factional diffei^nccs in a dreadful con¬ 
cert of sternutation. No business is too 
grave, no speaker too eloquent, to be 
“sneezed at” 
Mr. Clay has a peculiarly gracious man¬ 
ner of acknoAvledging snuff-box courtesies, 
and a peculiarly graceful Avay of taking a 
pinch—but I do not perceive that he 
sneezes more harmoniously than his hum¬ 
bler felloAv-citizens. 
I suppose that beauty is not precisely the 
forte of the Senate of the United States— 
so I trust I commit no offence Avhen I say 
that a rotundity of figure, slightly trans¬ 
cending the lines of grace and beauty, and 
a substantial, democratic plainness of fea¬ 
ture, constitute the prevailing style in that 
august assembly. The President, Mr. Fill¬ 
more, is a very handsome man, hoAvever, 
and Col. Benton is one of the most impres¬ 
sive men of the Senate, in person, air, and 
manner. He looks the perfect embodiment 
of a great, inflexible, untiring will—a will 
which one can only doubt when the eye is 
turned to the other side of the Chamber, 
Avhere sits his Avatchful, skillful, irresistible 
opponent, with the old fire of his Avondrous 
intellect unquenched, and the old strength 
of his Napoleonic Avill unbroken. 
A most remarkable person is Mr. Soule 
of Louisiana. His figure is rather slight, 
but firmly and finely formed; his face has 
a dark, dramatic style of beauty, Avhich 
lights up most splendidly and effectively 
Avhen he speaks. His action is exceedingly 
graceful and his voice melodious, tliough he 
speaks Avith a marked French accent. I 
like to look from him to his political and 
natural antipode, Mr. Hale, of New Hamp¬ 
shire. This Senator has the appearance of 
one Avho takes the Avorld kindly and easily. 
He is rather stout in person, but looks vig¬ 
orous and active; in the form of his head 
and the outline of his face, he is strikingly 
like Napoleon, but the expression is more 
frank and genial. Personally he is, I hear, 
quite popular Avith all parties here, and po¬ 
litically he moves on in a straight and open 
course, not antagonistic in spirit, but most 
uncompromising in principle. 
Mr. Clemens of Alabama, the youngest 
member of the Senate, and a gentleman 
quite well knoAvn of late for his unflattering 
estimate of Northern ladies, is one by him¬ 
self—a decided individual. The leng-th and 
disposal of his locks, and a certein ornate 
style of dress, bordering on the flashy, are 
remotely suggestive of a favorite character 
Avell known to Philadelphia play-goers.— 
On the Avhole, I should say he Avas a gen¬ 
tleman likely to smoko vehemently, drive 
rapidly, and Avear his hat Avith a one-sided 
inclination. 
Mr. Chase of Ohio, makes a fine appear¬ 
ance, Avith his powerful figure, and his no¬ 
ble, earnest face, but I have not heard him 
speak. 
Mr. Coi’Avin has, as you Avell knoAV, a 
head and face of great character. I hope I 
may yet listen to his peculiar and powerful, 
oratory. 
On the second day, I visited the House, 
when I could hear but little, yet was deep¬ 
ly and pleasantly interested by noAV scenes 
and impressions. 
The House, most of the time, is a strange 
scene of confusion^ The Speaker, Mr. 
Cobb, is kept hard at Avork, calling honor¬ 
able gentlemen to order, and making de¬ 
cisions—pounding and expounding. His 
office is evidently no sinecure, and his chair 
no easy seat for quiet meditation. 
In the gallery, I had the pleasure of see¬ 
ing Horace Mann, one of my enthusiasms, 
and a most delightful person, I found—Mr. 
Giddings, a man as agreeable in manner as 
he Ls impressive in appearance and strong 
in character—and one or two other gentle¬ 
men, whose conversation more than recon¬ 
ciled me to losing the speaking on the floor, 
which, in my position, I found it impossible 
to hear. 
A HUCKSTER OUTDONE. 
Away doAvn in the smart village of Cin¬ 
cinnati, there vegetates a certain hotel-keep¬ 
er, who for cuteness is “some,” you may 
depend. Having frequently been imposed 
upon, Avhile supplying his bountiful larder 
Avith the article of geese, by the Avide awake 
“Buckeye” huckster, he deemed it high 
time to try if cheating Avas not a game 
that two could play at. So one morning, 
bright and early, he presented himself be¬ 
fore one of the numerous Avagons surround¬ 
ing the market square, Avith a — 
“ I s-s-say, friend, g-got any g'-g-geese ?” 
[The poor felloAv has got Charles Lamb’s 
defect of speech.] 
“ Yes, fine lot —” 
“ W-Avell, I’ve g-got up at my house the 
all-firedest set of b-b^-boys for g-g-geese you 
ever did see, and I Avant to h-head ’em off 
AV-AA’-Avith some tough ones — can’t you pick 
me out some old h-he felloAVS ?” 
“Well, I don’t know but I might find 
one or two;” and so, turning over his 
pile of poultry, he collected some eight 
or ten geese, Avhose claims to the title of 
“old he-felloAVs” needed no corroborative 
fact, but might be pronounced clear and 
unquestionable. 
“ Mine host” eyed the progress of separ¬ 
ation, with evident satisfaction. 
“ Are these all the tough ones you’ve 
got?” 
“ I A’OAv, I did not knoAv I had so many.” 
“Well,” Avas the reply, “I g-guess I’ll 
take the o-other lot” 
TAKING THE CENSUS. 
“Madam, Avill )’Ou please to inform me 
of the number of inhabitants in this house ?” 
“ Sir?” 
“ The population of this mansion ?” 
“Well, tliere’s eight in the room over 
head.” 
“ How many ?” 
“ Eight” 
“Are they all adults?” 
“No; they are all Smiths, except the 
tAvo boarders.” 
“ Smiths; black or Avhite smiths, madam ?” 
“ I’d have you to knoAV’ that I don’t live 
in a house Avith niggers.” 
“ I didn’t allude to their color, I meant 
their calling.” 
“0, that’s it, is it? Well, if you had 
been here last night, you’d have found out, 
for they Avas calling the watch, as loud as 
they could scream.” 
“M-adam, I merely Avish to know hoAv 
many people you have in this house, and 
Avhat tliey do for a living.” 
“Yes, yes, noAv I understand. Well, let 
me see, there’s the tAVO Mullens — that’s 
one.” 
“ That makes tAVO, madam.” 
“ Well, if you knoAv best, count them for 
yourself.” 
“ It is my business to inquire, madam.” 
“ Well, you had better attend to it, then, 
and not bother me.” 
“ Madam, I am out Avith the census, and—” 
“ YVell, you act out of your senses, I should 
think, to come into my house asking me such 
questions.” 
“ It is in accordance Avith an act of Con¬ 
gress, madam.” 
“ Well, you tell Mr. Congress, or Avhat- 
ever his name is, he acts very foolish, send¬ 
ing you round a.xing sich shaller, silly ques¬ 
tions.” 
The man left 
Wanted to Know. — If steam-ships are 
used in navigating the “sea of troubles.” 
If it is OAving to the rate of interment be¬ 
ing cheap that so many are “ buried in ob¬ 
livion.” 
If ships in “stays” are addicted to “tight 
lacing.” 
Whether the sun shone during the “dark 
ages.” 
Whether the “tale” which the ghost of 
Hamlet’s father could unfold, Avas “founded 
on fact” 
The elevation of the “pinnacle of fiime,”. 
above the ocean. 
If hydropathic treatment would be like¬ 
ly to cure the “eruptions” of Mount -^tna. 
He Must Do.—Among the papers of a 
female bigamist, brought before the metro¬ 
politan magistrates, were the following lines 
in manuscript — 
A thousand faults in man we find, 
Merit in liiin we seldom meet; 
Man is inconstant and unkind, 
Man is false and indiscreet; 
Man is capricious, jealous, free; 
Vain, insincere, and trifling, too; 
And yet tiie women ail agree, 
For want of better — uk must do ! 
Despatch. — A native of Washington 
has just invented a new system of short¬ 
hand, Avhich has been tried Avith great suc¬ 
cess in the House of Representatives, In 
a speech of an hour’s duration the reporter 
was enabled to get twenty minutes a-head 
of the speaker! 
Very Tight. —Ladies’ tight sleeves are

The Herald says that some of the sleeves 
are made so tight as to prevent the ladies 
from laughing in them.
