Pause not to dream of the future before us ; 
Pause not to weep the wild cares that come o'er ns; 
Hark how Creation’s deep musical chorus, 
Unintermitting, goes up into Heaven 1 
Never the ocean wave falters in flowing; 
Never the little seed stops in its growing, 
More and more richly the rose heart keeps glowing, 
Till from its nourishing stem it is riven. 
“Labor is worship?” the robin is singing; 
“Labor is worship ?” the wild bee is ringing; 
Listen! that eloquent whisper upspringing, 
Speaks to thy soul from Nature’s great heart; 
From the dark cloud flows the hfe-giving shower; 
From the rough sod comes the soft-breathing flower; 
From the small insect, the rich coral bower; 
Only man, in the plain, ever shrinks from his part. 
Labor is life! ’Tis the still water faileth ; 
Indolence ever despaireth, bewaileth ; 
Keep the watch wound, for the dark rust asaileth; 
Flowers droop and die in the stillness of noon. • 
Labor is glory!—the flying cloud lightens; 
Only the waving wing changes and brightens; 
Idle hearts only the dark future heightens ! 
Play the sweet keys, would’st thou keep them in tune. 
Labor is rest-from the sorrows that greet us; 
Best from all petty vexations that meet us; 
Best from sin promptings that ever entreat us; 
Best from the world-syrens that lure us to ill. 
Work—and pure slumbers shall wait on thy pillow; 
Work—thou shalt ride over care’s coming billow; 
Lie not down wearied, ’neath woe’s weeping willow ; 
Work with a Btout heart and resolute will 1 
Droop not though shame, sin and anguish are round 
thee; 
Bravely fliDg off the cold chain that hath bound thee; 
Look on yon pure heaven smiling beyond thee; 
Best not content in thy darkness—a clod. 
Work for some good—be it ever so slowly, 
Cherish some flower-be it ever so lowly. 
Labor!—all labor is noble and holy; 
Let thy great deeds be thy prayer to thy God.

THE 01UTIAN GOVERNESS. 
BY ANNA BCRK. 
if 
Wl 
Chapter I. 
“Well, Myra, jour new Governess will arrive 
this afternoon.” 
“Oh, mama, I didn’t know that you had pro¬ 
cured one yet. Who is she ?” and the young girl 
drew nearer the fashionably attired lady. 
“ Her name is Grace Niles. I received a letter 
from your aunt Mary last week, and she wrote to 
ascertain if I desired a teacher for you and Charlie, 
It appears that this young lady has applied to her 
for a situation. Your aunt recommends her as a 
superior person. They were formerly acquainted, 
when Miss Niles moved in fashionable circles. I 
wrote back immediately to know when I might 
expect her, for the proposition pleased me. Here 
is the reply,” continued Mrs. Atherton, folding 
the epistle in her hand, “and I find that your 
Governess will arrive in the stage this afternoon.” 
“ Well, I hope that I shall like her,” and Myra 
Atherton sighed, while a pensive sadness stole 
over her thin, pale features. She was a fair, 
fragile girl of fourteen summers, and there were 
indications of ill-health about her, for the slight 
figure was not very straight, and her head drooped 
forward wearily. There was an expression of 
anxiety on the mother’s countenance as she said, 
« What makes you look so sad ? Are you quite 
well to-day?” 
“ My head aches some, but perhaps it will feel 
better when Miss Niles comes. May we have tea 
in the summer-house this afternoon?—it is so cool 
and pleasant out there, and Charlie wants us to 
see his little ship launched.” 
“ Oh, yes, dear, if you wish it.” 
The lady pushed back the golden curls from her 
daughter’s brow, and if a correct physiognomist 
had studied Mrs. Atherton’s countenance then, 
he would have said’trat she was an indulgent 
mother, not very strong-minded, but like the gen¬ 
erality of women who are bred in the hot-house 
style of fashionable life, with no correct views of 
the solemn responsibilities of a wife and mother, 
but possessing a kind heart, and what she deemed 
a tender solicitude for the best interests of her 
children. Charlie, her youngest pet, was a bold, 
impulsive boy of twelve years, who was generally 
accustomed to have his own wishes consulted 
upon every occasion; but he was very generous- 
hearted notwithstanding, and loved his sister with 
an almost idolatrous affection. This devotion had 
resulted from education, for Myra was a frail 
child, and he was taught to respect her sensitive 
nature, and never trouble her with rudeness 
The influences which had nurtured her growth, 
had always been such as to develop selfishness ; 
but the years of her life rolled on, and discovered 
new beauties of character, which even her worldly 
mother regarded with surprise. Mrs. Atherton 
was a rich woman, and when her deceased husband 
left her large possessions, the widow was not quite 
inconsolable, for she -still had the appliances of 
wealth, and access to the elite of society. She 
usually spent her summers at Willow-dell, her 
country resort, which was situated in a romantic 
portion of Connecticut, about thirty miles from 
New York. 
The promise of having supper served in the 
arbor seemed to animate Myra, and thanking her 
mother, she left the room saying—“ I’ll go to find 
Charlie, for he must be ready to welcome our 
Governess.” 
“Yes, I wanted you to tell him first, for he may 
rebel, and perhaps you can influence him. He is 
such a spirited boy.” There was a mother’s pride 
in her tone. Myra soon found her brother, upon 
the bank of a little pend below the garden, where 
he was busily engaged with his boat. 
“When will you be ready to launch, Charlie ?” 
said a soft voice, while a hand was laid upon his 
bowed shoulders. 
“You here?” he exclaimed, turning up his 
handsome, boyish face. “Oh, before a great while! 
This plaguey mast won’t stand up straight all I 
can do.” 
“ Don’t say plaguey— it isn’t a pretty word ; M lor 
Myra possessed a natural refinement, both in 
manner and language. 
“I am so vexed with this thiDg, sister!”— 
Charlie’s face seemed quite flush' d with exertion, 
for it was a warm day in the latter part of June. 
Stately elm trees lined the banks, and cast their 
shadows nearly across the poDd, but a dry, wither¬ 
ing breeze occasionally lifted the leaves with its 
hot fingers, and crept through the short grass, 
leaving no trace of coolness in its track. 
“ Let me help you, brother! I can bold that up 
while you are fixing it,” and Myra knelt down 
upon the mossy turf by his side. 
“ Well, I guess you may. There, hold it so.” 
Charlie proceeded to fasten the mast without 
further difficulty. 
“What have you named your ship?” 
“The Pirate King of the Seas.” 
“ Oh, Charlie, don’t call it a pirate ship.” 
“Yes I shall, and I wish that you would make 
a flag and put the name on it.” 
“How can I?” 
“Oh, sew the letters on somehow—I won’t 
launch to-day, for I must have the flag first.” 
“ Then some one else will be here to see your 
boat launched.” 
“ Who ?” aDd the boy looked up. 
“ Our new Governess. Mama says that she i3 
coming to-day.” 
Charlie jumped up, and threw down his knife 
with a low whistle of surprise. 
“ I wonder if mama thinks that I’ll be ruled over 
by a prim weazen-faced Governess ? I won’t, any¬ 
how, that’s a fact 1” and Charlie’s tone was very 
decided, while he placed his hands in his pockets, 
and drew up his frame proudly. 
“ Don’t say so, brother. I am sure that she is 
not prim, nor weazen-faced, either, for aunt Mary 
writes that she is a superior person.” 
“Well, I don’t care a fig if she is. I hate 
superior folks.” 
“Will you treat her politely, brother ?” Myra 
pressed her little thin hand to her brow, for a 
sudden spasm of pain contracted it. 
“Does your headache?” Charlie was by her 
side in a moment. 
“Some; but will you promise?” The pleading 
voice and pale face touched the right chord, and 
the warm-hearted boy conquered his obstanacy 
with a strong effort. 
“ Y-e-s, I will try to for your sake—but I won’t 
promise not to tip over my inkstand, at least once 
a day.” 
“We are going to have tea in the arbor, and I 
shall gather a boquet to present to Miss Niles.” 
“Well, I’ll give her one of these great double- 
breasted sunflowers, as our gardener calls them,” 
and CnARLiE laughed mischievously, while he re¬ 
turned to his work. There was a wearied, pained 
expression upon Myra’s pale face, and alien her 
brother observed it, his conscience smote him 
again. 
“I’m going to shut my mouth now, so the ugly 
things won’t come out any more; it does seem as 
if I am full of them sometimes.” 
“I knew that you did not mean it Charlie,” 
and Myra went languidly up the path to the house. 
A delightful garden framed it in on this side, and 
the choice collection of roses were in full bloom. 
Mrs. Atherton met her daughter upon the 
piazza. “Your Governess has just arrived. I 
have sent her up to her room, for she looks fatigued. 
She is quite pretty, and very lady-like, too.” 
“ Who are you talking about?” inquired Char¬ 
lie, coming through the shrubbery, fanning him¬ 
self with his hat, for his broad, fair brow, around 
which the dark hair clustered in curly rings, was 
moist with perspiration. 
“Miss Niles has come,” quickly replied Myra. 
“ Oh, you have been upon the grass with those 
white linen pants,—do go and change them, you 
careless boy,” exclaimgd Mrs. Atherton. 
“ Oh, pshaw! who cares for a Governess,” and 
these words floated up through the open window 
of Grace Niles’ room. She heard them distinctly, 
and a shadow swept over her countenance. The 
weary look grew heavier, and, somehow, you wo’d 
have thought that it was a heart-weariness. She 
appeared to be scarcely twenty years of age, but 
there was a patient, resigned expression about her 
mouth, which indicated that her soul had felt the 
withering blasts of sorrow, and battled with stern 
necessity. Grace Niles was an orphan. Three 
years before she is introduced to the reader her 
father became a bankrupt, and survived his losses 
but a few months, for despondency seized his 
mind, and a rapid decline of health brought him 
to a premature grave. • Grace was the only child 
of her widowed mother, but the sudden descent 
from wealth to poverty did not incapacitate Her 
for duty; traits of character were developed 
which no other discipline could have discovered, 
and Grace supported her parent, whose health 
was feeble, by her own untiring efforts. Mrs. 
Niles was now dead, and as the superior educa¬ 
tion of Grace qualified her for teaching, she con¬ 
quered the dread of seeking the unenviable situa¬ 
tion of a Governess, and applied to her former 
friend, Mrs. Kaymond. The sadness which had 
shrouded her eyes in misty gloom throughout the 
day now descended, and wrapped a pall about her 
heart, and as the voices came floating to her from 
the piazza, she burst into tears and wept for some 
time uncontrollably. But at length the bowed 
figure raised from its kneeling position by the 
carved oaken bedstead, and the weary voice said 
—“This will never do, Grace Niles. You must 
rest. God will give you strength,” and she push¬ 
ed back the silken hangings. 
An hour later, Mrs. Atherton rapped softly at 
the door, but received no reply. “ I will go in, 
perhaps she is asleep,” thought the lady, and she 
did find Grace resting sweetly. There were 
traces of tears upon her cheeks, but a settled 
peace, which none but Jesus can give, was ap¬ 
parent in her countenance. “Poor thing! she 
feels bad to come among strangers! I will let her 
rest—we can wait tea awhile.” These words were 
prompted by Mrs. Atherton’s kind heart, and she 
softly withdrew from the room. Another half 
hour glided by, aud this time, Myra rapped at 
Miss Niles’ door. 
“ Mama sent me to see if you were awake. My 
name is Myra,” and there was a modest blush up¬ 
on the youDg girl’s face a3 she extended her hand 
to Grace, whose eyes filled with glad tears, for 
she was not anticipating such a welcome from 
either of her pupils. Myra was naturally very 
sympathetic, and when she saw the mourning gar¬ 
ments, a sudden impulse caused her to throw her 
arms around the stranger’s neck and exclaim—“ I 
know that I shall love you!” 
“ I hope so darling,” said Grace, tenderly kiss¬ 
ing her, and as they went down to the parlor to¬ 
gether, she thought “ Oh, I cannot help being 
happy with such a lovely scholar, and how thank¬ 
ful I ought to feel that God has raised me up a 
friend so soon.” 
They sat down to supper in the arbor, and 
Grace eDjoyed the meal exceedingly, for Mrs. 
Atherton was in her usual chatty mood. She 
had a lively social temperament, and was still in 
the prime of life, with a fresh countenance, and a 
habitually good-natured expression. She also 
possessed an easy flow of language, which render¬ 
ed her an agreeable conversationalist, and when 
animated, her racy style was peculiarly charming. 
The delicious strawberries, which were served with 
fresh cream from the dairy, was also a rare treat 
to the city girl, who had not breathed country 
air in a long time, or enjoyed any of its luxu¬ 
ries. A variable crimson came and went upon 
her cheeks, and Charlie’s heart was won while 
he peeped slyly’ over his bowl of milk. His 
welcome had not been very cordial, but still po¬ 
lite, for he had promised Myra this, and Charlie 
always remembered his promises. When their 
meal was concluded, Mrs. Atherton left the new 
Governess to get acquainted with her pupils, 
while she went to ride. Grace had a peculiar 
faculty of winning the confidence of the young, 
and her pleasant, cheerful ways, soon drew 
Charlie from his restraint. He was naturally 
very strong in his likes and dislikes, and possess¬ 
ed an unusual penetration for one of his years.— 
Myra seemed satisfied to sit by and listen to their 
conversation, so Grace thought it best to improve 
this opportunity in observing the peculiarities of 
the wayward boy. When the mother returned 
she found the trio upon the piazza, engaged in a 
familiar chat. The twilight shadows were creep¬ 
ing up the lawn, and myriads of insects were 
humming in the air. 
“Come in, Miss Niles, and play for the children, 
we are very fond of music,” and Miss Atherton 
opened the piano. Grace had a sweet voice, with 
not very powerful compass, but well suited for in¬ 
strumental accompaniment, and Charlie turned 
the music while she sang several old songs. It 
was- a long time since she had touched a piano, 
but she w y as thoroughly versed in the principles 
of music, and her natural love for it soon recalled 
much which a discontinuance of practice had 
nearly erased from^^rnind. Mrs. A. was well 
pleased with he*jpP£ilrmance, and after the 
children were gofci i =’je remarked—“Now, Miss 
Niles, I feel perf</ct confidence in yonr judgment, 
and I shall therefore let you pursue your pwn 
course with the children. Myra is a weakly 
child, and cannot bear much, but I want to have 
her become accomplished in music, and her other 
studies must he superintended with care. Our 
family physician advises considerable exercise in 
the open air, and jou can take her to walk or 
ride very often, for I shall leave her almost wholly 
to your charge.” And the mother did, for she 
soon discovered that Grace was worthy of her 
confidence. 
The month of July came, and one day Mrs. 
Atherton received a letter from a city friend, con¬ 
taining a pressing invitation for her to join a 
party, which were just ready to start for Nabant. 
The temptation was irresistible, and knowing 
that Myra could not leave her studies, she resolved 
to have both of the children remain at home with 
Grace, whom she began to esteem very highly. 
Her arrangements were soon made, and Charlie 
and Myra saw their mother depart without regret, 
for they were warmly attached to their faithful 
governess. Perhaps, if Mrs. Atherton had not 
been so much engaged with the gay company 
which thronged her elegant mansion, she might 
have noticed the gradual decline of Myra’s health. 
Grace had spoken to her about it, but she replied, 
carelessly, “She has always been so from infancy; 
you must not let her study too hard;” so Grace 
said no more, but she watched the gentle girl with 
increasing anxiety, for sometimes there was a 
hectic spot upon her cheek, and she breathed 
quick and hard. One day, about a week after 
Mrs. Atherton’s departure, the young governess 
said to her charge, “ You are not well to-day, my 
dear.” 
“I am tired, that is all.” 
“But you look sick. I’m afraid that you are 
growing weaker.” 
“I think not;” but Myra leaned heavily upon 
the arm of Grace. 
“We will sit down here, if you are tired,” 
drawing her into the arbor. 
“ What a beautiful world this is! I wonder if 
it isn’t a reflection of Heaven.” 
Myra had a dreamy way sometimes, and Grace 
always encouraged her to talk, for there was a 
peculiar beauty ip her language. 
“Since you have told me about the city of the 
Great King, and marked those places in my Bible, 
I do not care to read anything else.” 
“ I am very glad that you like it so well, darling, 
for it is the best book in the world.” 
“My father used to love it, and I almost always 
found him reading in it while he was sick; 
mama never liked it as well — she thinks it is 
dull and prosy—I heard her tell a lady so one day. 
But I never read anything half so beautiful, and 
I am glad you have come to live here, so I can 
hear you talk about it. 0,1 used to wish that 
some one would.” Myra paused, and seemed lost 
in thought, but suddenly arousing—" I wish that 
Charlie loved his Bible more, and I think that he 
does since you have read and prayed with us, for 
I have found it in his hands several times; hut he 
would always throw it down, as if he was ashamed, 
when I came near—he is such a queer boy !” At 
this moment, the subject of her remarks appeared 
at the end of the walk, accompanied by a gentle¬ 
man, a stranger to Grace, and Myra gazed at 
him intently while he approached. Charlie 
seemed full of ecstasy, and soon called out, “Ob, 
sister! don’t you know cousin Herbert?” 
“I thought that it was you,” and a joyoua light 
beamed from her eyes, as she sprang to the neck 
ot the young man, who clasped her to his heart. 
“ My dear little Myra ! now you have grown 1” 
Then he held her from him a moment. “ You are 
looking very thin—are you well?” 
“Oh, yes! but this is my governess—Miss Niles, 
cousin Herbert Leslie.” 
Grace arose, and bowing, excused herself, for 
she knew that the children would like to be alone 
with their visitor. “ And this is the cousin whom 
have heard so much about. He has returned 
quite unexpectedly,” she thought, while gliding 
swiftiy up the piazza steps. [To be continued.]

scientific series of Mathematical Text-hooks for Common 
Schools, Academies, and Colleges, ever issued. 
The special attention of Teachers is invited to 
THE PROGRESSIVE ARITHMETICS, 
inst published, and believed to be the most complete, com¬ 
prehensive and progressive series ever yet given to the 
puolic. The arrangement and classification of the subjects 
are more strictly systematic, and in accordance with the 
natural order of Mathematical science. The definitions, 
rules and analyses are conspicuous for their brevity and 
conciseness, as well as for their accuracy and logical 
fullness The typography and mechanical finish is nne- 
guaUd. The Examples arenumerous, and superior in their 
practical utility, and their adaptation to the real busi¬ 
ness of active life. It is the aim of the author to present, 
the subject of Arithmetic to the pupil more as a science 
than an art; to teach him methods of thought, and bow to 
reason, rather than wluii to do; to give unity, system, and 
practical utility to the science and art of computation. 
ROBINSON’S NEW ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA, 
is now ready, and one of the best, if not the best work of 
the kind published. It contains 3*2 pages: its typography 
and arraneement are beautiful. It contains a vtry large 
number of practical examples. While it is a simple, clear 
trea'ise, adapted to the comprehension of beginners, its 
gentral tone and spirit are elevated. It is just such a work, 
as is needed to introduce the pupil from the study of Arith¬ 
metic to the study of a higher slgebra.

The subscriber begs to Inform the public that he continues 
to manufacture this popular machine, and pledges himself to 
produce an implement that will fully sustain its former repu¬ 
tation, as the best combined machine yet introduced, and 
inferior to none, either as a Reaper or Mower. 
It has had a st eady and increasing popularity from the first 
l > »ohie'»ip,'' a complete success in the first Important trial. 
'^Geneva in 1852. It carried off the highest honors at the grea. 
National Field Trial at Syracuse in 1857; and amidst all the 
competition and trials of 1858, came out with more and better 
established points of excellence than ever before. 
The general principles peculiar to this machine, and upon 
which It is.constructed, have proved so successful that there 
has been no attempt to change them. 
The main effort during the last year has been to Improve 
its mechanical construction, to make it stronger and more 
durable, and sustain its reputation as the leading and most

Patented February 22d, 1859. 
During the six years I have been engaged in the manufac- 
fure of the Manny Combined Reaper and Mower, I have 
f l ven much thought and attention to the construction of what 
foresaw would be a great want of the Farmers—a lighter 
and cheaper machine expressly for mowing, than had yet 
been made. , 
And now, after the most thorough and repeated experi¬ 
ments and tests in every variety of field, and in all kinds and 
in every condition of grass, 1 am prepared, with entire confi¬ 
dence, to offer to the farmers and dealers of the United 
States, the great desideratwmm this department of Agricul¬ 
tural labor-saving machines—a Mower, superior in its capac¬ 
ity for good work to any hitherto introduced, of essj draft, 
light, cheep, and durable. 
This machine I now offer as my latest Invention, to meet s 
special want of farmers, and to place within the reach of all, 
a Mower that for practical working, cheapness and simplici¬ 
ty, will be without a rival. „ „ ,,, „ 
1 build Two-IIorse and One-Horse Mowers. The Tivo- 
Horse Mower weighs 425 Its., and cuts a swath rnur leet wide 
(or more if specially ordered.) The One-Horse Mower weighs 
30 its. less, (395 as.,) and cuts a swath three and a half feet 
For a more full description of the Mo ,/er, re erence ismade 
to my Pamphlets, which will be furnished on application.— 
With each machine will be furnished two extra guards, two 
extra sections, one wrench and oil can. 
Warranted capable of cutting ten acres of grass per day in 
a workmanlike manner.
