THE HAUNTED CHAMBER. 
Ik thy heart there in a chamber— 
None hut Gox> »d< 3 thou hast seen it— 
Darkened by the sombre shadows 
From the folds of thought that screen it. 
On its walls are many pictures 
Painted by the hand of Time, 
Sketches of those mystic regions 
In the Infinite sublime. 
There are portraits of the faces 
That hare passed away from earth; 
Glimpses Of those tunny plnceB, 
Sacred to tby childhood mirth. 
Of the homestead, old and mossy. 
Close beside the meadow greeD, 
Where tbe brooks like threads of silver, 
Wound their graceful curve between. 
And it Is a haunted chamber, 
There the ghosts at midnight stray, 
Silent as the stars that wander 
Down the white pav'd Milky Way. 
You behold the light forms Irembltng 
In tbeir pure robes like a bride, 
And they look so much like liviog, 
You forget that they have died. 
You forget tbe marble fentures 
Of the friend you laid to Test, 
You forget the pale bands folded 
On a pulse less, soundless breast. 
But yon see him slowly walking 
’Mid tbe glow life’s sunset weaves. 
When his lips dropp'd iarswell blessings, 
And the trees their autumn leaves. 
Thus comes he long since departed, 
Reaching out his hands to thine. 
And hiB Ups UDto thee murmur 
In a tone which seems divine. 
In this chamber stands a mirror. 
Memory’s lamp hangs overhead, 
Throwing down a soften'd radiance 
On these pictures of the dead. 
In its clear depths were distinguished 
What we were, and wbat we are, 
There our inner life reflected, 
Shows us hideous or fair. 
Oh ! ‘tts In this secret chamber 
That we loam a solemn truth, 
As in links Of spirit union, 
Age is join'd again with youth. 
for a nmd nymph, I might, have a chance.” And 
I began to pick myself np. 
“Shall I heir you, Miss?” suddenly said a deep, 
rich, manly voice. 
I looked np, and saw a young maD, the sup¬ 
pressed merriment of whose black eyes brought 
the blood to my cheek, and made me, for an in¬ 
stant, ashamed and angry. But on glancing again 
at my dress, 1 could not help laughing in spite of 
myself. I stood in the mud at least six inches 
above the tops of my shoes. My Tiding skirt was 
plastered all over, so that it was almost impossible 
to tell of wbat it was made. My hands and arms 
were mud to the elbows, for I had instinctively 
extended them, as I fell, in order to protect myself. 
The young man, as be spoke, turned to the 
neighboring fence, aDd taking off tbe top rail he 
placed It across tbe puddle, then putting his arm 
around iby waist, he lifted me out, though not 
without leaving my shoes behind. While he was 
fishing these out, which he began immediately to 
do, I stole behind the enormous oak, to hide my 
blushing face, and scrape the mnd from my stock¬ 
ings and ridingskirt. 1 had managed to get the 
first a little cleaner, but the last was still as thick 
as ever when my companion made his appearance 
with the missing shoes, which he had scraped till 
they were quite presentable, and leading Milo by 
the bridle. 
“Pray, let me see you home,” he said, “If yon 
will mount again, I’ll lead the colt; and there will 
he no chance of his repeating his trick.” 
I could not answer for sliBme, but. when in the 
saddle murmured something about “ not troubling 
him.” 
“ It’s no trouble, not, tbe least,” he replied stand¬ 
ing bat in hand like a knightly cavalier, and still 
retaining his hold on the bridle, “and I can’t 
really let you go alone, for the colt is as vicious as 
he can he, to-day. Look at his ears and the red in 
his eyes. I saw you coming down the road, and 
expected you to be tbrowu every miDute, till I saw 
how well you rode. Nor would it have happened, 
if he hadn't wheeled and stopped, like a trick horse 
in the circus.” 
I cannot tell how soothing was this graceful 
way of exensing my mishap. I stole a glance un¬ 
der my eyelids, at the speaker, and saw that he 
was very handsome and gentlemanly, and appa¬ 
rently about six and twenty, or several years older 
than myself. 
I hud hoped that uncle would be out in the fields, 
overlooking tbe men; but as we entered the gate, 
I Baw him Bitting, provokingly, at tbe open win¬ 
dow; and by the time I bad sprung to the ground, 
be came out, his eyes brim full of mischief. I did 
not dare to step, but turning to my escort, I said, 
“My uncle, sir, won’t you walk in,” and then rush¬ 
ed np stairs. 
In about a half an hour, just as I had dressed, 
there was a knock at my door, my uncle’s knock, I 
conld not but open. He was laughing a low silent 
laugh, his portly body shaking all over with sup¬ 
pressed merriment 
« Ah! ready at last,” he said. "I began to de¬ 
spair of yon, yon were so long, and came to hasten 
you. He’s waiting in the parlor still,” he said in a 
malicious whisper. “You’ve my consent for I like 
him hugely, only wbo’d have thought of finding a 
husband in a mud puddle.” 
I slipped past my tormentor, preferring to face 
even my escort than to run tbe gauntlet of uncle’s 
wit; and was soon stammering my thanks to Mr. 
Templeton, for as such my nude, who followed 
me down, introdnoed him. 
To make short of what else would be a long 
story, what was Baid in jest, turned out to be in 
earnest; for in less than six months, in that very 
room, I stood np to become Mrs. Templeton. How 
it all came about I hardly know, but I certainly 
did find a husband on that day. Harry, for that, is 
the name by which I call Mr. Templeton, sayB that 
I entered the parlor so transformed, my light blue 
tissue floating about, me so like a cloud wreath, my 
cheeks so rosy, my eyes so bright, my carls play¬ 
ing such bide-and-seek about my face, that not ex¬ 
pecting such an apparition, he lost hiB heart at 
at once. He adds, for he still knows how to com- 
pliinent as well as ever, that my gay, intelligent 
talk, so different from the demure Miss he had ex¬ 
pected, completed the business. 
Harry was the son of an old neighbor, who had 
been abroad for three years; and before that had 
been at college, so that I had never seen him; but 
uncle remembered him at oDce, and had insisted 
on his staying till I came down, though Harry, 
from delicacy would have left after an inquiry 
about, my health. My uncle was one of those who 
will not be put off, and so Harry remained, “The 
luckiest thing,” he says, “I ever did.” 
Milo is now my favorite steed, for Harry broke 
him for me; and we are all as happy as the day is 
long, uncle included; 1 or uncle insisted on our 
living with him, and I told him, at last, 1 would 
consent, “if only to keep Poll Wilkes from cook¬ 
ing his dinner.” To which he answered, looking 
at Harry, “ Tou see what a spit-lire it is, and you 
may bless your stars if you don’t me the day sbe 
went out to find a husband.” — Petersons

part of this State, from which its principal streams 
originate. The soil in the north is a strong clay. 
Along Delaware river, and for about ten miles west 
of it, the soil is generally a rich clay, well adapted 
to agriculture; but between this and the swamps 
the soil is light Bnd sandy. Proceeding toward 
the south, the soil becomes more sandy, and in 
Sussex county sand greatly predominates. Kao-

WASHINGTON’S FAREWELL. 
The following extract is from a letter written by 
a lady npwards of eighty years old, residing in 
Philadelphia, to her grandson in Washington: 
“When General Washington delivered his Fare¬ 
well Address, in the room at the southeast corner 
of Chestnut and Sixth Btreets.I sat immediately in 
front of him. It was in the room the Congress 
had occupied. Tbe table of the Speaker was be¬ 
tween the two windows on Sixth st The daughter 
of D r . c-of Alexandria, the physician and in¬ 
timate friend of Washington, Mrs. H-, whose 
husband was the auditor, was a very dear friend of 
mine. Her brother Washington was one of the 
Secretaries of Gen. Washington. Yonng Dan- 
dridge, a nephew of Mrs. Washington, was the 
other. I wbb included in Mrs. H-*s party to 
witness the august, the solemn scene. N-C- 
declined going with Mrs. H-, who had deter¬ 
mined to go so early as to secure the front bench. 
It was forumate for N- C-(afterwards Mrs. 
L-) that she would not trust herself to be so 
near her honored grandfather. My dear father 
stood very near her; she was terribly agitated,—

“GOOD TO MAKE MEN OF.” 
A gentleman once asited a company of little 
boys what they were good for? One little fellow 
promptly answered: 
“ We are good to make men of.” 
Think of that my yonng friends; yon are all 
good to make men and women of. We do not 
mean, nor did that little boy, that you are merely 
good to grow up to the size of men and women.— 
Xo, we mean a good deal more than this. You are 
to make persons that will bo respected and useful 
—that will help to do good in the world. No ono, 
who is not useful, and who does not seek to make 
the world better, deserves the name of man or 
woman. 
You should not forget that, if there are to be any 
men and women—any that deserve such a name— 
twenty to thirty years hence, they are to be made 
of you who are now children. What a world this 
will be when you grow up, if all only make men 
and women l Will you not ponder this subject, and 
“ show yourselves men?” 
“Good to make men of.” What kind of men 
will our youthful readers be twenty years hence?

entrap him into matrimony. Before he could re¬ 
ply, I gave Milo his head. 
John Gilpin, we are told, went fast; but I went 
faster. It was not long before the colt had it all 
his own way. At first I tried to check his speed; 
hut he got the bit in his mouth; and all I ooold 
do was to bold on and trust to tiring him out.— 
TreeB, fences and houses went by us like wild 
pigeons on the wing. As long as the road was 
clear, we did well enough, but suddenly coming 
to a blasted oak, that started om, spectre-like from 
the edge of a wood, Milo, Bhied, twisted half 
around, and planted his fore-feet stubbornly in the 
ground. I did not know I was falling, till I felt 
myself in a mud-hole, which lay at one side of the 
road. 
Here was a fine end to my boasted horseman¬ 
ship ! But as the mud was soft, I wsb not hurt, 
and the ludicrous spectacle I presented, Boon got 
the upper hand ot my vexation, “ A fine chance I 
have of finding a husband, in this condition,” 1 
said to myself, recalling my jest with uncle, “if I 
could find some mud dryad now, and pasB myself off

The latter always wore a full suit of bright drab ( 
with slash, or rather loose cuffs. He also wore 
wrist ruffles. He had not changed bis fashion.— 
He was a short man, with a good head. With his 
family he attended our church twice a day.

ternational Telegraph Company have organized a 
branch of their establishment for that purpose.— 
Money deposited with the company will be advised 
by telegraphic order, and ire paid out to the par¬ 
ties named in the order, iu accordance with the 
conditions printed on the company’s forms. The 
townB between which these remittances can now 
be made are:—“From London to Liverpool, Man¬ 
chester, and NewcaHtle-upon-Tyne; from Birming¬ 
ham, Bristol, Dnblin, Edinburgh, exelcr, Glasgow, 
Hull, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle- 
upon-Tyne, Plymouth, Portsmouth,Sunderland aud 
York, to Loudon. By order, J. S. Fourdrinler, 
Secretary.” Thus, by a sort, of natural necessity, 
the new “Mercury,” the swift “ Messenger,” while 
he holds in one band the magical transporting 
wand, in the other grasps 'the purse. These money 
remittauccB by telegraph are, doubtless, the begin¬ 
nings of a great Bystern which is likely to super¬ 
cede post-office remittances; we trust with Bafety 
equal to its swiftness. 
Seek to be pardoned; but above all tieek to be 
beloved.
