“ ANSELS UNAWARES.” 
BY IDA FAIRFIELD. 
With laugh of ringing music 
Forever by our side, 
Gladdening like the sunbeams, 
Across our paths they glide. 
Bounding on before us. 
Wherever we may stray, 
Their tiny feet scarce crushing, 
The blossoms in their way. 
No wings upon the shoulders, 
No crown upon the brow, 
We know them not, for angels, 
As they sport beside me now. 
We fold them to our bosoms, 
We claim them as our own— 
We hush our hearts wild throbbings, 
To catch each music tone. 
We know they bring no gladness, 
They crown our life with love; 
But we pause not to consider 
That they bring it from above. 
A sudden chill creeps o'er them, 
A breath, and they are gone. 
Our homes become so desolate, 
Our little birds have flown. 
And then in that wild sorrow, 
A whisper in our hearts— 
A gleam of seraph pinions, 
The sudden truth imparts. 
And we know that in these objects 
Of all our hopes and cares, 
Like some of old, we’ve cherished 
Bright “ Angels unawares.”

UNCLE JAKE’S EXPERIENCE: 
OB, THE AGOSIES OF COMPOSIXIOH-WEIITSTG. 
Some years subsequent to that desperate 
struggle which secured the independence of 
no inconsiderable portion of the Western 
Continent, there lived in one of our scmi- 
barbarous western frontier towns a curious 
compound of flesh and blood known under 
the very euphonious appellation of Jacob 
Powderhorn, familiarly denominated Uncle 
Jake. The natal placo of this original was 
a matter of profound mystery, even to his 
most intimate associates; and it is tho gen¬ 
erally received opinion that every porson 
on this terrestrial ball is kin to some other 
persons, it was shrewdly conjecturod by 
some of tho most renowned savans of tho 
neighborhood that he might have been a 
spontaneous production of the western wilds, 
inasmuch as ho was discovered there by the 
first emigrants who had gathered courage 
to ponetrato tho trackless depths of the 
great American forests beyond the Missis¬ 
sippi. 
Our hero was at tho time of which we 
speak, far beyond the meridian of his years 
and strength; yet, having no other means 
of subsistence, he engaged with all tho zeal 
and ardor of youth in those hunting and 
fishing excursions which to many a lover of 
tho wild and romantic in nature constitute 
one of the principal charms of border life. 
His koen, gray eye, peering out from under 
its heavy lashes with a somewhat cautious, 
guarded expression, couldy et take unerring 
aim, and no rifle was more fatal to whatever 
game chanced to cross tho track and desire 
of its master than tho rusty time-worn one 
of that same Uncle Jake. Tho rudely con¬ 
structed log habitation of which he had 
been for many years sole occupant, with tho 
exception of a faithful hound, was situated 
under the brow of a hill, remote from the 
settlements, and scantily furnished with 
utensils necessary for preparing the rustic 
fare of a real, genuine backwoodsman. His 
companions in tho chase were often invitod 
to partake the hospitalities of his hut, and, 
seated with them around his humble board 
spread with venison, buffalo meat and the 
varieties of fowl usually afforded by the 
lodge of an experienced hunter, he know no 
wish ungratified. 
Every means that curiosity could devise, 
not excepting direct interrogation, had been 
employed to ferret out something in rela¬ 
tion to the origin of the lono one; but no 
satisfaction was received, and now myriad- 
tongued rumor was beginning to busy her¬ 
self with the fato of the unconscious squat¬ 
ter. Somo of his comrades entering the hut 
unexpectedly, at a certain time, had sur¬ 
prised the old man in tho midst of several 
rusty, ancient-looking volumes, and, though 
he colored somowhat and seemed slightly 
embarrassed, ho did not refuse their very 
civil request to be allowed to examine them, 
but if the exterior was sufficiently remarka¬ 
ble to excite observation, what astonish¬ 
ment seized their senses, when, on opening 
the lids, pages of letters and words wholly 
unknown to them before, met their gaze.— 
Instinctivoly they turned to each other for 
a solution of the mystery; yet the same va¬ 
cant look of wonder was depicted on every 
countenance, and no word of explanation 
escaped the lips of tho hunter; but, hastily 
gathering up the books, without any apolo¬ 
gy for his withdrawal, for Undo Jako was 
no stickler in tho matter of outward forms 
and ceremonies, he abruptly retired behind 
a rude partition that screened one corner 
of his cabin from tho eyes of tho intruders, 
and there remained until they had taken 
leave. From this time forth there was a 
very perceptible change in tho feelings of 
that littlo community toward the hunter.— 
One recollected to have heard him mutter- 
ins over some unintelligible words which ho 
now verily believed wero an invocation to 
somo ovil spirit; another had seen tho old 
man seated under a tree near tho door of 
his hut intently studying ono of the afore¬ 
mentioned wonderful volumes, and a third 
sagaciously remarked that it was evident 
enough ho was a sorcerer in leaguo with tho 
Prince of Darkness. By degrees, all came 
to look upon him with an eye of suspicion, 
and he, naturally enough divined tho causo. 
secluded himself more and more from socie¬ 
ty, less frequently invitod friends to his 
house, and finally becamo strictly a hermit. 
Good old Uncle Jake ! he has long since 
settled his account with this world of trial 
and tribulation, of which he had his full 
share; but never was there a warmer heart 
than that which beat beneath tho deer-skin 
vest of Jacob Powderhorn. 
After his decease the old hut underwent 
a thorough examination, tho fruit of which 
was a discovery of those self-same mysteri- 
I ous volumes, together with a package care¬ 
fully sealed and directed to an individual 
in tho eastern part of Mass. Tho books, 
being considered tho work of demons and 
vile spirits, were religiously consigned to the 
flames ; the package, with a few words of ex¬ 
planation, was sent as directed. 
While visiting Massachusetts in tho sum¬ 
mer of 184— chance throw me in the way of 
a lady, who in the course of conversation on 
tho school systems of our respective States, 
introduced the subject of Composition ; and 
on my expressing an opinion that every in¬ 
dividual possesses somo degree of literary 
talent, she narrated to mo tho following 
story, related to her by one of the oldest in¬ 
habitants of the place in which she resided. 
James Sanford was to finish his school 
education at a flourishing Academy, a few 
miles from his native town, at the age of 
nineteen, about which period young people 
are usually most keenly alive to disgrace of 
whatever nature. Possessing an uncommon¬ 
ly retentive memory, together with an ar- 
dont lovo of the sublime and beautiful, he 
naturally succeeded well in the polite litera¬ 
ture of tho ancients, which constituted, in 
the institution at which he was educated, a 
large share of tho regular academic course. 
It was then as now tho custom in higher in¬ 
stitutions of learning for tho teacher to re¬ 
quire of each pupil at stated intervals a 
a literary exercise, which was submitted to 
him for criticism and then returned to its 
author; and this regulation was in the school 
which our friend James attended rigidly en¬ 
forced. In that duty at loast no scholar 
dared be delinquent. James, with all the 
fine qualities of his mind, seemed to pos¬ 
sess no command of language. No ono 
doubted that he had ideas, and good ones 
too, hut the attempt to commit them to pa¬ 
per induced a singular embarrassment and 
hesitation ; so that composition week, as it 
was called, was looked forward to by him 
with feelings of dread and despair. No 
commendation was ever bestowed upon his 
productions, for they never merited any; 
and he toiled hopelessly on without the least 
perceptible improvement. Too proud to 
solicit aid, too honest to indulge in literary 
pilforing, he taxed his own powers to the 
utmost; and although unable to equal those 
who in other respects wero far inferior to 
him, yot, as his effusion never met the eyo 
of any ono except his teacher, in whom he 
had implicit confidence, he was able to pre¬ 
sent them to him with some degree of com¬ 
posure. But the trying time was yet to 
come. The term which was to be James’ 
last closed the academic year, and the Prin¬ 
cipal, desirous of having his school do credit 
to his instruction, in duo season set himself 
about making preparations for tho annual 
examination. Ho strongly urged upon his 
pupils tho necessity of making an extra ef¬ 
fort if they expected to sustain the credit of 
their institution, and finished by requesting 
that they should particularly exert them¬ 
selves in the matter of Composition. Poor 
Jamos ! after having vainly protested his 
utter inability to produce anything that 
would pass muster, he betook himself to the 
solitude of his own room and thero sat down 
to meditate. Tho first thing to be decided 
upon was a subject, Buch a variety of which 
presented themselves to his mind that it 
was next to impossible to make a choice; 
however, as it was to bo a masterpiece, ho 
finally selected The Progress of the British 
Empire, and collecting somo authors around 
him, in case he should need to consult them, 
commenced his laborious task. 
Night and day, every hour ho could spare 
from other duties, was spent endeavoring to

taste acquired at so much pains departs sud¬ 
denly. Civilized men enjoy ono kind of 
food, and cannibals another. Somo are 
very simple in their habits, and like the boy 
Cyrus, at tho courtly table of his grandfath¬ 
er, wonder at the multitude of dishes. But 
no man, Christian or heathen, ever quarrels 
with his bread and butter. It is acceptable 
tho year round; and the tasto for it is uni¬ 
versal, and never palls. You cannot eat it 
to a surfeit or over return to it with disgust. 
If it is of a bad quality, that does not de¬ 
stroy your affection. You blame the baker, 
but stick to tho broad. Good broad and 
butter in the summer-time are peculiarly 
delicious, the very staff of life. When the 
flour is of the finest wheat, the yeast of a 
buoyant nature, and the loaf, with its crust 
properly baked, has the whiteness of snow 
and lightness of a sponge; when the butter 
has tho flavor of tho fresh grass and the 
color of new-minted*gold, oat to your heart’s 
content, and desire nothing else. When 
you have come in at the noon-tide hour, 
wearied with your expedition to the moun¬ 
tain-top, your walk in the woods, your sail 
on tho lake, or your botanizing in the inoad- 
ows; when you have labored faithfully in 
the garden, rooting out the woods from the 
cucumbers green peas the sweet corn and 
cauliflowers, which are to grace your table, 
contracting a sharp appetite from tho smell 
of the mold; when you have returned with 
woodcock from tho swamp, or have been “a

fresh bread are set bofore you, garnished, 
perhaps, with a well-dressed lettuce, or a 
fow short-top scarlet radishes, each crack¬ 
ling and brittle as glass, well may you dis¬

an anchorite might not refuse, and which 
an epicure might envy.— Knickerbocker .
