Of beauty and gladness,—remember 'ti* wise, 
Just at twilight, on an early spring day, Jacob 
IIakiung w»* crouchingoverthc scanty lire which 
wag smouldering in the old fire place of his deso¬ 
late-lucking kitchen. The air was chilly, and the 
few little chips and hits of wood by no means 
rendered the apartment comfortable, for the walls 
had sundry ventilatois, in the shape of huge 
cracks, and more than one pane of glass was miss¬ 
ing from the windows, the vacancy being imper¬ 
fectly supplied hy fragments of boards, end bun¬ 
dles of tags. Jacob was not thinking of theae, 
nor of the lickctj chuirs anil table. He was too 
much accustomed to his household inconven¬ 
ience* to i.ake any notice of them. No, bis mind 
waB far away, roaming amid the still remembered 
scenes of youth. Never had the face of Claba 
Moktiukk faded from hi* heart. He knew not 
whether she were living or dead; but be thought 
of her as he had seen her in the fresh ness of 
youthful beauty—it never occurred to him that if 
Btill alive, she, too, must be old. Then bethought 
of hla mother and IUcjtkl, and elghcd to think 
he was all alone. 
The shadows had deepened,—it was quite dark 
ont of door*, »od t.hc dying embers on the hearth 
east but a feeble light within. Jacob started, for 
the rumbling sound of wheels stopped at his door, 
and opening it, ho saw the stage coach standing 
uetir, while an old-fashioned, hair-covered trunk, 
thickly studded with brass nails, and with a huge 
bundles;rapped on the top, was being taken down, 
and was at last deposited upon the broken door¬ 
step. A female figure no a- emerged from the 
stage, and came up to t he door. 
"Hoes Mr. Jacob Hardjko live here?” said a 
sweet voice, for the new-comer now saw the old 
man in the door-wuy. 
“ Yep, I’m he; hut what do you want of me?” 
“Hear uncle,” was the tespouse, "I am your 
sister KacqeL’S child; she is dead, and she sent 
me to live with you.” 
“Well, well! come in. then,” was the not very 
cordial welcome. " I’ll get a light and Bee how 
yon look.” And throwing another handful of 
chips upon the coals, Jacob proceeded to light a 
tallow candle, which was placed in a rusty iron 
eandlestick. Hia visitor threw hack her thick 
veil, and the face on which lie looked, inquir¬ 
ingly, was very fair, and apparently that of a 
maiden of seventeen years.

value of a new article known ns “Spalding’s Prepared 
Glue,” useful to housekeepers tor mending furniture. It is 
prepared with chemically by which it is kept in the proper 
condition for immediate u»e, the chemicals evaporating aa 
goon as it is applied, leaving the glue to harden. Wo can 
assure out render* that this article has the excellent phre¬ 
nological quality of “ large adhesiveness."

Though sometimes very clear; 
Adds lustre to the glittering spark. 
And cause* groundless fear.

Too oft a very serious caro, 
And studied for It* grace. 
But when my first reigne dark or fair, 
With undisturbed control, 
My second is put by with care. 
And gives place to my whole.

H. A. ROWLEY’S POETICAL ENIGMA. 
Six letters form good Hans ah.'a name,— 
Forward and hack they arc the ume; 
When yon omit the first and last, 
My sister Annas namo thou hast. 
Ann ts the name of some fine girl 
That dearly loves in dance to whirl. 
Ah! Ha! Anan! (you meant the first,) 
Were exclamations used in erst. 
I've read thy riddle—solved the same, 
But neither of the names I claim; 
Then come not with thy priest to me; 
TUI thou canat tell what mine may be. 
It has four forms—each is a name, 
Though not alike, meaning the same; 
Three syllables they all can show 
Save one, that boasteth only two. 
That one you’ll find in hall and cot,— 
There's scarce a home where it is not; 
’Tis famed in story, sung in rhyme, 
And borne hy queens in olden time,— 
By one whose soul was stained with blood, 
Another who wns called “ tbe good;” 
Another still we’ll not forget, 
So lovely and unfortunate! 
The second form, Sn days of yore, 
Two Ciir and hapless French queens bore; 
As also did a queen of Spain,— 
So hard and cruel was her reign, 
That she was called u the cruel queen,” 
As may by history be seen. 
An authoress of pleasant fame, 
Doth bear tbe third form of my name. 
The fourth and last form, we are told, ■ 
A Hebrew songstress claimed of old. 
This last is mine. Now, Rowley, try! 
Who were those queens, and who am I ?

At any rate, he would try. Bo, one clear Decem¬ 
ber afternoon, Jacob, dressed in his Sunday suit, 
proceeded to “the great house,” having heard 
that General Mortimer was to remain in the 
country until about Christmas time. He was 
conducted into the same apartment, where ho hud 
parted from Clara, four weeks before. Her 
father received him with his accustomed hospi¬ 
tality, and chatted quite pleasantly for a while.— 
At length, Jacob made known the purport of his 
visit, when the rage of the old man knew no 
bounds, lie called Jacob a clown, and a clod¬ 
hopper,— swore his daughter should never again 
speak to, much less wed, a beggar, such as he,— 
bade him leave the house instantly, and never 
darken Ills doors again. Jacob went forth "a 
sadder, and a wiser man," yet, with a crushed and 
bleeding heart, which would never again bound 
with youthful hope and joy. 
Fool, that I was,” he muttered, as he slowly 
walked homeward. “ 1 might as well have fallen 
in lovo with Vents, herself, and tried to bring 
her down from yonder blue sky.” (Had Jacob 
been well versed in poetry, he would doubtk-ss 
have ejaculated—“It were all one, that I should 
love a bright, particular star, and think to wed 
but I will be rich . 
parcels upon the tilde, saying. “Well, here’s a 
slice of ham, ami a loaf of bread, and a pat of 
butter, and a drawing of tea.” Clara cooked 
the meat in the frying pan, and soon the savory 
repast was ttpon the table, which, with the audi¬ 
tion of a cloth would have looked quite inviting. 
“There isn't any sugar, is there?” she asked, 
when about to pour the tea. “No,” said Jacob, 
“1 thought T had bought so much to-night, that 
we could get along without that- But there’s 
a little milk in a cup, on the lower shelf, which 
will make it do. 1 reckon,” 
Clara's long ride had given her a good appe¬ 
tite, and J acob seemed to enjoy his meal far more 
than lie usually did. It was no wonder, with that 
bright, cheerful face opposite him, and the thought 
of the busy bauds which were so ready to aid 
him. After supper. Clara was going to wash the 
dishes, and inquired for some soap aud a towel. 
o Haven't got either,” was the answer. “ As 
for soap, that eornos pretty high,—and 1 let the 
dishes dry without wiping. 1 have to be pretty 
careful about having many things to wash, for

Bitch was the experience that made Jacob 
Harding a miser; that curdled in hisbreast “the 
milk of human kindness,” and made him a hard, 
cold man. 
Bat a few months longer did he remain in his 
native town. Before the spring again opened, 
his mother died; and his sister Rachel — to 
whom, alone, had lie confided the story of his 
hopeless love,—was married to a young farmer, 
aud emigrated with him, to the Far West, Jacob 
raised what, funds he could from the sale of their 
little homestead, and, dividing it with Rachel, 
took his own share, and left his oid home forever.
