TEE LOST ONE FOUND. 
Is sweet Cashmere where the Day is boro 
To be heir to the golde* hours, 
Where the sunshine trails at the Seet of More, 
And is raveled out in flowers; 
’Twas then and there, in a garden wild. 
That a Maiden loDg had wept: 
Like a bud in the rain, the gra«*ful child 
On a white arm droop'd and slept 
She had lost, that day, a pet Gaaelle, 
And though low to the earth she bent, 
So light was the step, she never crrold teB 
Which way the wanderer went 
And the boughs above her brightly gleamed, 
And the white rose turned to red, 
And still the Maiden wearily dreamed, 
Till the summer day was dead. 
And she woke to see the landscape fade, 
And the cloud beyond the hill; 
And the dews fell fast on flower and blade, 
But the tears fell faster still. 
Then slowly into the dark she crept, 
On her sad bewildered way ; 
Where the daisies bent and the lilies slept. 
She went as if it were day 1 
And the stars came out to see the sight 
Of the Maiden in the gloom, 
Though seeking the lost, not praying for light, 
For she followed the perfume 
Of flowers, the truant’s feet had pressed, 
That had sent remonstrance up, 
And had bid the Maid, with a breath, be blest, 
And with joy refilled her cup. 
And she found her Darling fast asleep— 
Asleep, not dead nor dying ! 
Too glad to smile, she could nothing but weep, 
By the bed of violets lying. 
So the Boy, as dearly loved as day, 
To the garden of God has gone ; 
Thro’ the shadows tracing his fragrant way, 
We tearfully follow on. 
And ther>, in the golden By-and-by, 
We shall hear, with onr hearts, the sound, 
“ Alive agaiD. He did not die 1” 
And the Lost One shall be found.

ESCULAPIUS, SENIOR ANIX JUNIOR. 
BY CAROLINE A. HOWARD. 
Ja:ie and Mary Wait were orphans. They lived 
in an old-fashioned country farm-house, and though 
beloved by their own little circle of neighbors the 
world knew nothing of them and they knew as 
little of the world. Mary taught the village 
school and Jenny earned what she could with her 
needle. She was a delicate girl, deformed from 
childhood, and though always cheerful and gene¬ 
rally happy, she shrank with sensitive timidity from 
contact with strangers. 
Together, through childhood and girlhood, the 
sisters traversed the rough way of life hand in 
hand, till, very gently, the summoning angel sepa¬ 
rated them. It was very still, very lonely in the 
old house in the summer twilight, when Mary stood 
at the open window, the evening after the funeral, 
and looked through gushing tears up to that heav¬ 
en whither father, mother, and Jenny, had gone 
before her. 
With a dull sense of sorrow weighing upon her 
spirits Mary passed a few weeks with no apparent 
change in her life, nothing to interrupt the vacant 
monotony. But something must be done. She 
was neither rich nor idle that she could live with¬ 
out labor—she was no longer very yonng and was 
never very pretty, so she was not likely soon to be 
the recipient of a fortune. 
She thought she should like to be a governess, 
but she feared her acquirements would prove too 
limited. Iler education comprised only the com¬ 
mon English branches, a little French, and a little 
needlework. “ Nothing venture, nothing have.”— 
Therefore she determined to try, as she could do 
no worse than fail, as many others do. According, 
ly the following notice found its way into the 
“ Metropolitan Courier's " column of “Wants.” 
“ Wanted. —A young lady of respectability, a good prac¬ 
tical education, and some experience, would like a situa¬ 
tion as English governess to young children, oras a young 
lady’s teacher and companion. Could teach French and 
needle-work. A note addressed to M. W—, Westfield, 
would receive prompt attention.” 
Three weeks passed away during which time 
Mary watched and hoped for a letter but none 
came. The column of “Wants” was each day 
eagerly scanned in the hope of something favora¬ 
ble. At length the wave of fortune drifted this 
fragment to her feet. 
“If the young lady, whose address is M. W—, Westfield 
has not secured a situation, and will take the trouble to 
call at this office, between 11 and 12 A. M., she will hear 
of a good one. Business prevents the advertiser from 
seeking an interview at her residence.” 
The next morning a little woman in black 
alighted from the cars and presented herself at the 
office of the “ Metropolitan Courier .” She was 
politely received by the editor, and by him intro¬ 
duced to her new employer—Dr. Warner. We 
copy from her journal a few lines descriptive of 
that gentleman as he then appeared to her. 
“He was tall, and seemed the personification of 
neatness—his plain suit of black broadcloth, glos¬ 
sy hat, shining boots and black gloves, being alike 
free from spot or blemish. No one would have 
called him dandified, yet a love of dress was evi¬ 
dent. He appeared to be about fifty years of age; 
bat though his face was plentifully wrinkled, his 
hair was still as black and shining as a raven’s 
wing. His nose was thin and sharp, and his eyes 
were blue, keen but smiling in expression. In 
short, but for the amiability of his countenance, I 
should have called it an extremely homely one.— 
But beauty of features is something upon which I 
should not be fastidious as I am generally acknowl¬ 
edged to be ‘ decidedly plain’ myself.” 
Dr. Warner had just been appointed guardian 
to a yonng girl of nearly seventeen years, the only 
daughter of one of his most intimate and valued 
friends. Fanny O’Neil was a wild, untamed little 
beauty whose home culture had never been of the 
best, and who seemed to set all wills and ways but 
her own at, defiance. 
In education she was as deficient ns a child 
though she hRd almost arrived at womanhood._ 
Phe lovp.d nothing so much ns her own way, but 
ahe had such a pretty, half-tyrannical, half-coaxing 
way of making her wishes known that one could 
scarce resist her. To cultivate this wild flower 
was henceforth to be the task of Mary Watt, and 
at Oreendale, the Doctor’s country house, we shall 
And her. 
Onee more we have recourse to her journal, for 
we can thns learn better than in any other way, 
Vr first impressions and emotions in her new 
heme. 
“ I am not greatly prepossessed with my new p 
pil, a plump, rosy-cheeked girl. She is pretty, 
there is no denying that Her black eyes seem to 
twinkle with preconcerted mischief, and her rosy 
lips are ready at any moment to part and give vent 
to peals of merry laughter. But there is, witbal, 
in both face and form, a saucy imperiousness so 
strangely at variance with her apparent good¬ 
nature, as to be almost ludicrous. 
“ She received me with as lady-like civility as 
she knew how and made proper arrangements for 
my comfort, but I could plainly see that she watch¬ 
ed every look and motion with a jealous eye.— 
While I changed my dress and rearranged my hair, 
I saw in the mirror that she scrutinized each arti¬ 
cle, and seemed to be in serious thought—not quite 
favorable to its subject to judge from her face. 
“ At first I thought I would take no notice of her 
manner, but thinking it might be better to show a 
good-natured consciousness of her criticism, I 
turned and said laughingly, 
‘Well, how do I suit?’ 
‘ I haven’t made up my mind yet,’ she replied 
with perfect gravity. ‘ Let’s go to tea.’ 
“ Ere we reached the dining hall her spirits had 
returned, and with a mocking air, she said to a 
young fellow who was leaning upon a window 
frame, 
‘Oscar, allow me to introduce yon to Miss Wait, 
my new teacher. Miss Wait, this is Dr. Oscar 
Warner, to be—a nephew of my esteemed guar¬ 
dian, and at present a student of medicine.’ 
“After this ostentatious introduction, she took 
her place at the head of the table with due 
propriety. 
“During supper Dr. Warner conversed with me 
at intervals and I found him a very sensible and 
affable man. I said but little myself, for I was 
painfally conscious that Oscar listened to and ob¬ 
served me attentively, while a pair of roguish black 
eyes at the head of the table, seemed to take ns 
both into their line of vision, and never wandered 
except when exchanging a mirthful glance or a 
witty sally with with Dr. Warner or Oscar. 
“ After tea I sat down near a window in the par¬ 
lor to eDjoy the soft Jane twilight, the beautiful 
scenery, and reflect upon my new position. The 
Doctor’s library adjoined this room by folding 
doors and was entered from the hall. I soon heard 
voices within and easily distinguished the tones of 
Fanny and her guardian. Without any wish to he 
a listener I could not help overhearing what she 
said. Her guardian had just asked her how she 
liked her new friend, Miss Wait. 
‘ 0,1 don’t know, Doctor, really? She’s a queer 
little body with her black dress and short curls.— 
Don’t you think so? What made you get a lady in 
black, guardian? You know I have a horror of 
anything gloomy.’ 
* Why child, how did I know she wore black un¬ 
til I came to see her. And when I did see her I 
was so well pleased with her appearance that I 
thought yon would be sure to like her.’ 
‘0, la! uncle Esculapihs, you and I are two 
different people. You like little primmy folks. I 
want some spirit. But I dare say I shall be able to 
get some fun out of her. She will certainly do 
better than being alone, a3 I have been nearly 
every day since I came.’ 
‘My dear, I do not think you regard this young 
lady in the right manner. She has not come here 
to furnish amusement for you, but to do you good, 
if she ©an; and allow me to add, that my little 
ward is not so perfect or so polished yet, but there 
is room for considerable improvement.’ 
“I presume there was some pouting, for I next 
heard a half-fretful, half jesting voice saying,” 
‘There! I knew it would be so. I knew you would 
be ashamed of my ill-manners, and lecture or scold 
me before I had been here a month.’ 
‘Fanny! ’ 
“It was all he said, bnt it was so gently, depre- 
catingly spoken, that you might almost have 
thought it was a woman’s voice that uttered the 
word. A moment after I heard a ki9s, which I 
knew must have been given by Fanny to her ‘dear 
old Esculaphts,’ and then she flew ont of the 
room.” 
The days flew fast during that first summer of 
Mary’s experience as a governess. She had some 
trials, mostly on Fanny’s account, but the doctor 
was so kind, and rendered her situation so pleasant, 
that she would have felt sorry to relinquish it. 
She endeavored to do her duty faithfully, and 
trusted to patience and perseverance to win the 
love of her undisciplined charge. A petted child 
of wealth and fashion, she had been too long ac¬ 
customed to follow the dictates of her own will, 
to submit with propriety to guidance. Mary per¬ 
formed towards her rather the part of a friend 
than a governess. Their employments were shared 
in common. They read, walked, rode or studied 
together during the day, and passed the eventogs 
in quiet home pleasures; usually Miss Wait sewed 
or conversed with the Doctor, while Fanny played 
the piano and sang with Oscar. 
Miss Wait sought rather to make of Fanny a 
refined and agreeable companion, than a learned 
woman, therefore her teaching was more by sym¬ 
pathy and example, than by precept. 
Fanny was rather indolent in her habits, more 
the result of a want of motive, than a love of 
idleness. She had not even sufficient love of dress 
to take pride in appearing becomingly. Miss 
Wait really loved her yonng friend. She could 
not long be with her aud not love her. Fanny, 
too, in time seemed to part with all prejudice 
which she might have entertained towards her 
kind and faithful teacher, so that the difficulties in 
her path, if not entirely removed, were greatly 
lessened. 
At this time Miss Wait wrote thus of her: 
“ I find her to be as affectionate and true-hearted 
she is lively, and though she seems to be guided 
>re by impulse than principle, still there is in 
r nature a strong foundation of good, moral 
{tialitseB. Sorry for a fault as soon as committed, 
-he is never tardy or sulky in acknowledging her 
repentance, and will not rest until re instated in 
"avor. Her ready wit, and cheerful, sunny face, 
• the life and light of our otherwise quiet house- 
ieid, and though her guardian has occasion fre¬ 
quently to curb her excitable temper, or reprove 
her saucy thoughtlessness, she generally clings to 
him with Bnch a playful, jet regretful appeal, that 
te can never be really vexed with ker. I cannot 
k I i perceiving that her very faults are daily 
lering her more precious in the sight of him 
tries to think himself her disinterested pro¬ 
tector ! ” 
No pains were spared by Dr. Warner or Oscar 
in making them enjoy themselves. One summer, 
it was a trip to the White Mountains, the next, 
perhaps, Saratoga; and in winter, parties and con¬ 
certs furnished ample food for pleasure, while 
Christmas and birthdays, were marked with beau¬ 
tiful and appropriate gifts. 
Never had Miss Wait been so happy. She had 
never imagined that she could have so pleasant 
a home among strangers. It was easy to bear with 
Fanny’s inequalities of temper, in the happifiess 
of knowing that she had secured her love, and that 
all sought to contribute to her welfare. 
But ere long she had a new souroe of anxiety, 
and one which did not so readily leave her as any 
of which Fanny was the cause. 
Through a more intimate acquaintance with Dr. 
Warner, she had come to feel for him the highest 
regard. His upright character and excellent dis¬ 
position were calculated to win the admiration of 
any one, but placed as she was, in a dependent 
position, yet treated with the consideration of an 
equal, it was not strange that she felt for him a 
deeper respect than Bhe had ever felt for any man 
save her father. 
You will say that she loved Dr. Warner. I will 
not contradict you. I only ask you to place your¬ 
self in her position, and say whether you should 
have loved him. I hope that neither Mary or any 
other woman whom I admire, will ever be so weak 
and desperate as to throw away her heart unasked, 
yet this much I will Bay, that had Dr. Warner 
cared enough about her to wish to make her his 
wife, I think she would most likely have accepted 
him, and tried to love him as she ought It would 
not have been a great trial either. 
But it was no hopeless affection of hers which 
furnished her a subjeot of anxiety. With her 
knowledge of human nature, and her intimacy 
with Fanny, she had learned to tell the signs and 
qualities of her attachments. Bhe knew that the 
dependent, almost childish fondness which she 
lavished upon her guardian, was a different thing 
from the, at times, shy, often petulant, or as sud¬ 
denly softened manner which marked her inter¬ 
course with Oscar. Very different indeed. 
But if Cupid is blind, Dr. Warner was not less so. 
Wherever the party were Been, Oscar seemed 
by general consent to be Fanny’s escort, while Dr. 
Warner was left to attend on Miss Wait. How¬ 
ever, he seemed as well suited with this arrange¬ 
ment as the young people,—content, apparently, to 
watch the Sashed cheek and beaming eye, or 
hear the merry laugh of his ward, happy, because 
she was so, aud because he had power to give her 
happiness. 
At such times he talked much of Fanny —made 
numerous inquiries into her tastes, and progress- 
listened with delighted attention to her sayings 
and doings, as related by Miss Wait, or would 
draw attention to her as, in some gay mood, her 
animated face was turned towards him. Was this 
disinterestedness? Dear, foolish old gentleman! 
Yet not more foolish than thousands have been 
before him. He was deluding and intoxicating 
his matured brain, with a boyish dream — yet all 
the while try iug to persuade himself that be was 
broad awake, 
[Concluded next week.] 
SCOTCH AND HANCHESTEK PRUDENCE. 
We are indebted to a respected foreign contem- 
| porary, Frazer’s Magazine, for two capital illustra¬ 
tions of genuine prudence: 
“About sixty or seventy years ago, when the 
manufacturing trade was in its infancy, several 
poor Scotchmen settled in Manchester, who ulti¬ 
mately became millionaires, and whose descendants 
are still connected with the city. We were speak¬ 
ing a short time ago with a very old woman who 
knew one of these men in his early struggles._ 
His landlady thought he paid too little for his 
room, and was determined to raise his rent from 
Is. Od. to Is. 8d. per week. This the Scotchman 
stoutly resisted, and was resolved to pack up his 
baggage and be gone, rather than pay a fraction 
more than eighteen-pence. After gaining this 
point, he concluded the dispute with this maxim, 
which ought to be remembered by our young men: 
‘ It isn’t that I mind sae muckle for the odd tup¬ 
pence—but ye ken, Betty, it’s the breakin’ into a 
fresh piece o’ siller!’ 
“ We met ourselves with a similar illustration of 
Manchester prudence in connection with onr great 
Exhibition. ‘Why did you not take two guinea 
tickets for yourself and family ?’ we asked a gentle¬ 
man of considerable property, ‘ the guinea invest¬ 
ment, you know, does not admit you to the gay 
promenade days.’ ‘ Listen to me, young man,’ he 
said, ‘ don’t talk without thinking. It is not that I 
care for four two guinea tickets; but,’—dropping 
his voice as though he wished to impress on me a 
secret, a new truth—‘ don’t you see, it would have 
involved a twenty guinea dress a-piece for my wife 
and two daughters.’ ” 
“Young America” should take these lessons to 
heart. 
Addison has left on record the following impor¬ 
tant sentence: — “Two persons who have chosen 
each other ont of all the species, with the design 
to be each other’s mutual comfort and entertain¬ 
ment, have, in that very action, bound themselves 
to be good-humored, affable, joyful, forgiving, and 
patient, with respect to each other’s frailties and 
imperfections, to the end of their lives.” 
The chief secret of comfort lies in not suffering 
trifles to vex one, and in prudently cultivating an 
undergrowth of small pleasures, Bince very few 
great ones are let on long leases.
