NATURE! AND HUMANITY. 
Whsh Evk had led lior lord away, 
Aod Cain had hilled his brother. 
The stars aod flowers, the poets say. 
Agreed with one another. 
To cheat the cunning tempter's art, 
And teach the race its duty, 
By beeping on its wicked heart 
Their eyes of light and beauty. 
A million sleepless lids they say. 
Will be at least a warning; 
And so the flowers would watch by day, 
The stars from eve to morning. 
On hill &Dd prairie, field and lawn, 
Their dewy eyes upturning. 
The flowers still watch from reddening dawn 
Till western skits are burning. 
Alas! each hour of daylight tells 
A tale of 6hame so crashing, 
That some turn whi'e as sea-bleached shells, 
And some are always blushing. 
But when the patient stars look down 
On all their light discovers, 
The traitor’s smile, the murderer's frown. 
The lipB oi lying lovers. 
They try to Bhut their saddening eyes, 
And in the vain endeavor. 
We see them winking in the skies, 
And so they wink torever.

“DON DICKEY.” 
BY CAROLINE A. HOWARD. 
Chapter I. 
A PORTRAIT. 
Did you ever see Don Dickey? That was Dot 
his real name, but if you have known him at all 
yon will remember him better by that name than 
any other. He was, as nearly as I can judge, as 
fair a specimen of the “ swell ” as ia often found. 
He never appeared on Broadway bat. as the cyno¬ 
sure of all eyes. Attired in the very latest style, 
with an imm Calais embroidered shirt bosom with 
gold studs; spotless kids o? a delicate tint; pants 
of the latest pattern, and bo tight as to give to his 
very slender limbs a rather fong'-like appearance; 
a cane as small and flexible as a willow wand, and 
bearing on its small gold bead the coat of arniB of 
his ancient and aristocratic family, who, by the 
way, were more distinguished for pride than "pelf.’’ 
But the crowning feature of this elaborate person¬ 
age was that from which be derived the second 
part of his high title, viz, his dickey. It would, 
to use the novelist^ expression, "beggar descrip¬ 
tion”—tall and snow-white, and highly polished as 
a French mirror, it was usually displayed to great 
advantage by au expensive and inimitable “ tie,” 
set off by a diamond pin. 
How he acquired the additional distinction of 
“Don,” I cannot precisely Bay, but suppose that it 
was suggested by his lordly air and the somewhat 
foreign appearance given him by a very swarthy 
complexion, flowing black hair and a heavy mous¬ 
tache. Suffice it to 6ay that ere bo had reached 
the age of twenty-five his own proper name of 
Byron Le Roy Ckabbs had become almost entire- 
ly confined to the “select circle” in which he 
moved, and “everybody,” from the tattered news¬ 
boy to the wealthy banker, knew him familiarly as 
Don Dicksy Crabbs. 
I suppose he was what might be denominated a 
" fast” young man, that is, when he had anything 
to he “fast” upon, for there were times when 
money seemed to he a scarce article with him. At 
such times he was usually missed from the fash¬ 
ionable side of Broadway, (in these days the very 
pavements and thoroughfares are either fashiona¬ 
ble or unfashionable,) and was supposed to be 
traveling. The truth was, his finances were get¬ 
ting to a low ebb, his wardrobe needed replenleh- 
ing, and he deemed it prudent to retire for a short 
period from “public life,” or, in other words, ex¬ 
change his expensive and genteel quarters at the 
Bangup House for rooms at a plain country farm 
house, the residence of a distant connection of 
his father s. Here he passed his time, or, as be 
would have said, “killed” it, in hunting, fishing 
or flirting with the country girls, until the next 
quarterly allowance set him once more at liberty. 
Then Broadway was again illuminated by his 
presence as he blazed forth In splendors as daz¬ 
zling aa a butterfly just emerged from its ebrjsails 
Dickey’s grandmother was a southern lady of 
good family and consideraole wealth, a portion of 
which his mother inherited at her decease. His 
grandfather was still living and acted as his guar¬ 
dian, although he had been of age this five yeare 
or more. His name was Steel. He was a mer¬ 
chant, shrewd, calculating, and penurious, as was 
shown in the fact that though he had reached the 
advanced age of seventy, and had amazed a large 
fortune, he still applied himself to business and 
kept a sharp eye on the interests and conduot of 
his grandson, 
Dickey's mother, much against the wishes of 
her father, had, early In life, united herself to 
Lieut- Crabbs, a young officer whose principal 
recommendation Eoemed to be a very long pedigree 
and a very handsome face. But for her property 
they muBfc have been poor, and, as might be ex¬ 
pected, that decreased very rapidly with extrava 
gauce and mismanagement, until it became evident 
that unless something was done, there would he 
nothing left for their old age or for their children. 
Mr. Steel therefore interfered and bad the rem¬ 
nant settled on the heirs, of whom there was as 
yet but one, and was himself appointed guardian. 
Scarcely was this done ere Mra. Crabbs died, and 
her husband, finding bimself suddenly deprived 
of the luxuries to which he had been accustomed, 
threw up his commission and went to California 
among the first who flocked to the newly discover¬ 
ed Eldorado. 
Young Crabbs early gave evidence of his strong 
resemblance to bis father, iu a fondness for luxury 
and display, and an utter aversion to everything 
useful or respectable ia the way of employment— 
Prudently foreseeing such a state of mind on the 
part of his grandson, Mr. Steel had so arranged 
it that, until Dickey should enter into some profit¬ 
able and permanent business, his mother’s legacy 
- should be dealt out to him iu quarterly allowances; 
and It was likely to be so tor life. 
Chapter II. 
CITY FRIENDS. 
It would be difficult to imagine a happier man 
than Dickey appeared to he, when jost reinreed 
from one of his "traveling excursions,'' as he saun¬ 
tered down one of the ivennes by the side of some 
city belle, or aeeompaTiied her in her carriage on 
a round of morning calls. As the elegant Mins 
Delia De Dash josrly remarked to her friend, Miss 
Felicia McFlash, he was "a perfect bijou of a 
man.” No cue knew better bow to put on a lady’s 
shawl, carry her parasol, or turn ovir her music 
for her. He was always flrst ou the floor at a hall, 
and first at a whist table. Was a wedding to take 
place among the "upper ten,” no one could per¬ 
form the part of " groomsman” like Dickey, and 
of course he always gave the bride a handsome 
present. Did it rain, and some languishing fair 
one resign herself to the “blues” and a dull day 
at home, Diceey was sure to come to her relief, 
brimfull of the latest fashionable gossip, and pre¬ 
pared to stay the afternoon. 
With his mascnline friends he was equally pop. 
ular. To see them rash upon him after a week’» 
absence, yon would have thought he had been 
gone six months, and that they had done nothing 
bnt sigh for bis return. There was Doltttle and 
Doty, eous of the millionaires, with Dodge, who 
: did not seem to have either fame or family, bnt 
always contrived to keep bis pockets supplied wir.h 
money, and was esteemed by his “set” a “capital 
fellow.” There was Spear Mintk, the young Mr. 
D., and Pallktto, the “ fast » Italian artist who 
played at billiards and faro and “ fleeced ” more 
parses than he painted pictures; with young Ring, 
whose father was of the firm of Ring, Golding, 
Carat A Co., manufacturing jewellers; and Tokay, 
whose father made his money in the liquor trade 
and left him to spend it- Theee, and a host of 
others, were eager to clap him on the hack and 
cry—“Hurrah, boya tbe Don’s come back! • Rich¬ 
ard’s himBelf again!’ Now tor an oyster 6upper 
and a general good time, by way of welcome.” 
Did not they know wheie and why he had with¬ 
drawn himself ? Did not they know the tight 
rein that his grandfather kept on his expenditures? 
To be sure they did, and while they inquired how he 
had enjoyed himself at Saratoga, Newport, or the 
Catskills, they Wtoked and smiled at each other,and 
in his absence speculated on the chances of his 
grandfather’s disinheriting him. 
Bat Dickey’s attentions to the ladies ceased 
after awhile, to be promiscuous. He reveled in 
tbe smiles of Miss Felicia McFlash, and she gra¬ 
ciously received his exclusive attentions. A; 
home, on the afternoon promenade, at the concert, 
ball, or opera, he was her devoted, bumble ser¬ 
vant, rendering himaelf ao agreeable as to pnt all 
other gallants, and her lap-dog. qniteinthe shade. 
Miss McFlash was a year or more bis senior, (du 
not mention it, for it was by a mere accident that I 
came to know it,) but what of that; she was a 
“splendid creature,” Ull an! queenly, with ma¬ 
tures that would have been faultless but for a 
slightly “turn-up” nose. She was very wealthy, 
too, having s fortune in her own right, and without 
incumbrance. To a man in Dickey's situation 
these were considerations. 
She bail her considerations too. Mrs. Byron 
Lb Roy Ckaebs was not a name to be lighily re¬ 
fused; its owner was young, handsome, and, on 
the mother’s side, well connected. She had her 
suspicions that bis fortune was not large, or was 
a fable altogether; bnt she knew that that of his 
grandfather was a “fixed fact,” and that Dickey 
wns the sole heir. Yet here again occurred doubts. 
What if Mr. Steel should see fit to disinherit h s 
extravagant grandson ? Would the name of Byron 
Lb Roy Crabbs sound quite as well, without the 
ring of metal as an accompaniment? Miss Feli¬ 
cia therefore jodged it expedient to proceed with 
cautloD, and tboB it happened that &Ye kept poor 
Dickey “in durance vile” lor nearly three yt-ais. 
Longing to know bis fate, yet fearing tol se her 
by presumption, bo was as constant as her shadow, 
and as separate. Whenever he approacned too 
near, or Bought to commit hittBelf.she was sure to 
punish him by a sadden coolness, or a flirtation 
with one of his numerous rivals. 
Chapter IXX. 
COUNTBY FRIEND8. 
Splendid aud gay &a was Miss Felicia McFlash, 
she could no more compare to Dickey’s little rus 
tic cousin, Rose Wii.dk, than a flaontieg peony to 
a moss-roBe-bud. Simple, affectionate little Robe, 
who thought “Cousin Byron” the nearest to per¬ 
fection of any insn that she had ever seen. And 
wall she might, for g^e feed never seen any that 
she could love, except her father and the kind old 
pastor. The young men around her, sturdy, bon- ! 
est young fame’s as they were, seemed too rough, 
too uncultivated, to sympathize with her, and she 
had little acquaintance with them. 
Robe’s father was a farmer, well to do in the , 
world, benevolent ana genial. His barns and i 
store-houses were always well Blocked with “Hie , 
fat of the land,” and he kept “ oped house, open 
heart, and open hand” to all who chose to partake i 
of his hospitality. Dickey’s father was Mr. i 
Wilde's nephew, and towards Dickey he bad al- < 
ways felt and showed the kindness of an uncle. f 
When Dickky was a little boy, and his mother's < 
health wax delicate, ehe used frequently to spent) I 
a aumiuer with him at Uncle Wilde’s. Miss Robe 1 
was then taking her first lessons in walking, iu 1 
which acquirement Dickey rendered her valuable i 
assistance. A few years more, and, as a schoo'. 
boy, he found her home a capital place at which 
to spend vacations. Rofh was jnBt the girl to go 
nutting or berrying with, and it was her delight, i 
at Borne juvenile party or pio-nic, to be the envied 
recipient of Cousin Byron’s attentions. 1 
Thus the years sped, and through all their I 
changes, there ever remained the s. me warm nook 
at their fireside, the same warn spot in their hearts l 
for Dickey at. Uncle Wilde’s It fs true hiB oucle 
Bometimea thought Dickey rather too dandified 
in his appearance, and though he knew little of 
his character, ha feared that, be was both idle and 
extravagant. 
When Dickey paid a visit to Heath Farm, be 
always made it a point to lay aside, as much uh 
I possible, bis snobbish manners and affected airs. 
For here he f»H that he was known as h§ really 
' was, and such things would only lower him in the 
; f steem of thoBe who made the plaoe home to him, 
for it di) seem like home; it was all the one he 
had. Though weak minded, artificial and conceit¬ 
ed, he still had Bcnse enough to value, iu a great 
measure, these, his only true friends, aod to en¬ 
deavor to appear <o good advantage in their eyes. 
In Rose he felt aa especial interest. They had 
, associated lorn childhood almost with the famil¬ 
iarity of bro her and sister. She was unaffected, 
, Rcmle, sad confiding; Dickey would as Boon have 
. thought of flirting sirh or deceiving au angel.— 
True he had not always been as respectful towacda 
her as was becoming; he would Sometimes throw 
bis min too familiarly about her, or rudely snatch 
a kiss, bnts mb lib rtii s were always repulsed by 
su< h a reproach ul astonishment and mortification 
as to effectually check the spirit of levity. He 
would langh heartily, and call her “a little old 
maid;” bnt- be reverenced her delicacy. 
Chapter IV. 
“HOPES LONG CHERISH'D, WHEHE ARB YBNOW*>” 
It was a lovely October afternoon, when the fu¬ 
neral of "our venerable and lamented fellow-cili- 
zen, Ichabod Steel, Esq.,” took place. By the 
hour of threp, the stores of all those merohant6 
with whom he had had dealings were closed and 
hnng with festoons of black cambric, and a long 
lice of nearly a hundred carriages, beaded by a 
hearse d aped with a heavy pall, and drawn by 
black ho'sua on whose pioud heads waved clusters 
of sable plumes, was drawn up along the avetrae 
leading to the handsome but gloomy residence of 
the late proprietor. Conspicuous aa chief mourn¬ 
er appeared our hero, whoFy unconscious ot the 
becks and nods of some of his friends, as he ever 
and anon wiped his eyes with his white handker¬ 
chief, bordered with black. 
The white robed divine came at last to tbe close 
of his exhortation and prayers, the gentlemanly 
sexton adjusted the silver-plated lid above the 
cold, stern features ol ib© dead, and in a few mo¬ 
menta the stately man-ion was left alone, while 
the proce8sIon moved ou to the cemetery. As the 
imp sing cortege passed through the principal 
Htrec ts, men left their business to gaze, women aud 
children flocked to doors aud windows, and another 
funeral traiu, beariog a poor man's child, and 
composed of two carriages and a little band of 
friends on foot, drew close to the Bidewalk aud 
houses, to let the other take precedence. 
Arrived at the cemetery, the handsome coffin 
was placed upon a bier,aud when the minister hid 
repeated over it the beautiful burial service of the 
Episcopal Cburcb, it was consigned to the dark 
ness aud gloom of the family vault, the ponderous 
doors Bbut with a clanging sound, and the “rela¬ 
tives, friends, and acquaintances,” returned once 
more to the cares and scenes of every-day life, sat, 
-felled that they had done all that was required of 
them. 
Every one was of course impatient to know the 
disposition of the rich man's estate, and they were 
not Jor-g kept in suspense. The bulk of it was 
distributed among various benevolent institutions, 
as If he, who had never be* n kuown to do a kind 
action while living, sought in death, to atone for a 
life ot selfishness and cupidity. Life annuities 
were bestowed on Jack and Chloe, two faithful 
old black people, who had followed Mrs. Stkkl 
from her Southern home and Berved her aud ber 
family, long and well. Legacies were bequeathed 
to Peter (5hi-b, hia aged and feeble head e'erfc, 
who for more tbaa thirty years had tolled to in¬ 
crease and uphold bis employer’s fortune; and to 
the Rev. Benedict Sanctus, D. D., whoee eloquent 
aud practical dipcoarai-s had edified him daring 
every Sunday of several years, and whose conso¬ 
ling aud exalted tribute to the virtues aud memory 
of the deceased, so moved hlB hearers at the 
funeral. 
To Dickky, nothing was left but the remnant of 
his mother's fortune, which, owing to bis grand¬ 
father’s carelul management, still amouoled to 
considerable. Jn a letter resigning his guardian¬ 
ship, he took occasion to state that nothing could 
have given him greater pleasure than to have set¬ 
tled his property on a member of hia own family, 
bnt he considered that it would be wore© than 
wasted upon the nearest relative that he possessed, 
bis grandson. 
It cannot be denied that though Dickky was 
not greatlv surprised, he was disappointed. He 
had “hoped against hope” that, his grandfather 
would feel rr.ore kindly towards him at last, and 
now thar. hope was dead. But he oonsolcd himBelf 
with the reflection that he was at length his own 
master and should not want for friends or pleasure, 
at least so Jong as his money lasted. 
Flushed with hia o»wly acquired power, he pa’d 
his devoir* to Miss McFlash with renewed ardor 
and hope. To bis surprise, III advances were more 
coldly received «h>in ever before; and to increase 
his aferra and chagrin, he discovered that Jupok 
Clinch, an old bachelor beau of longstanding, for 
whom she had never had any particular fancy, 
was now coming into favor. To cu* a long atory 
short, before a year had passed Dick by was invi¬ 
ted to “ stand up” at their wedding, but declining, 
received cake and wedding cards. 
This was the de»th of his last and greatesthope, 
and as might be expected, it told on hia character 
and prospects. Ho plunged madly into deeper and 
darker d s-ipsttoc, reckless of consequences. The 
society of hia “ fus ” voting friemls, the excitement 
of tbe gaming ra'ile and tbe w no cup, were tager- 
ly songht, for iu them he hoped to forget that he 
wcH I bat weak, dissolute and wretched being whom 
his conscience was continually setting before him, 
and whom he actually iieapfeed. 
Chapter i.V, 
“THE THINGS OF THIB WOULD PASS AWAY." 
Toe first sweet airs of Spring kissed the crocuses 
and windflowers bencatu tbe front windows at 
Heath Farm. A young man pale and emaciated 
from long aickuesa, >vas lying propped up by pil¬ 
low*, on ti couch in the pleasant sitting-room. A 
young girl hat beside him with a booh on her lap, 
from which “be had been reeding, in her we readi¬ 
ly recognize Bosk Wj L dk, though she iB older and 
there is a calmer, more womanly expression on 
her countenance than when we la»t bsw her. The 
young man is “Cousin Pyi>on,” though no one 
would ha ve known him. His long dark hair is 
clus’ered around his pule, thin face from which 
the curling moustache has disappeared, and there 
is a wild brilliancy to his eyes which speaks of 
days and nights of suffering which are not all passed. 
The change in his looks is not greater than in 
hia fortunes. His money is long since squandered^ 
hia “summerfriends” have forsaken him; plunged 
in debt and disgrace, and at hist brought low by 
disease, he was found and rescued by good, gener¬ 
ous Uncle Wilde. Here, in their quiet home, 
watched by friendly hearts and tended by gentle 
hands, he had passed the winter. 
The book which Rose has been reading, ia the 
Bible, and tbe chapter, the thirteenth of the first 
of Paul’s beautiful epistles to tbe Corinthians.— 
In ft clear, sweet voice she read until she had fin¬ 
ished tbe eleventh verse, and during the time her 
cousin’s eyes never wandered from her face. When 
she had rend thus far, he sighed deeply and closed 
the book, saying “ Alosl how true I When I became 
a man I did put awny childish things. Would to 
heaven I had died then, when I was young, inno¬ 
cent and hapgy!” 
Rose made no reply, hut turning again to her 
bible, read, “Blessed are they whose iniquities are 
forgiveD, and whose sins are covered.” 
"0! if I could only feel that I am among those 
1 blessed’ ones! Since I have been sick I have had 
so much time to think ana have thought of so 
many things, that sometimes my brain iB almost, 
crazed. But most of all I have thought how few, 
how brief, tbe days will be ere I shall be laid to 
rest in the earth now warming and brightening 
with the breath of Spring. Tney muBt bury me 
here, Rose, in your quiet country church yard. 1 
do not wish to be laid on a shelf in our cold and 
dark old family vault. I would rather lie In the 
ground, where it seems as if I could hear the birds 
sing, and hear your light stepB as yon come to 
plant flowers on my grave. 
“ And when I think of these things I think of 
my past lile and how unfit I am to die. I cannot 
dwell long on this thought, it is too dreadful. I 
find myself longing to be well again, to live a new, 
a better life. And then, forgive me dear Ross, a 
thought of you comes, like a spirit of holiness, to 
my mind, and I dream, ’tie only a dream, of a 
brighter futare, a time for improvement aud 
reparation, with you for my guardian angel, my 
sweet counselor. Bat the vision fades quickly, I 
am all unworthy even to dream of you. I never 
knew until since I have been here, a helpless inva¬ 
lid, that I was capable of an honorable and eia- 
cere affection for a woman, but you are very dear 
to me, I always placed you above all others of 
your sex. 
“But these are vain fancies for one whose feet 
are on the verge of eternity. When I am gone, 
dear Rosk, think of me, as you have always thought 
of me, 88 your early and loved playmate and friend. 
Remember my sins and my deficiencies with char¬ 
ily, and pray that they may be so remembered in 
heaven. I sometimes think that had my parents 
been alittle lens worldly minded, had they thought 
more ol ibeir child's spiritual, than his temporal 
welfare; and had my grandfather been lees cold and 
hard, had he spared time from the pursuit of 
we..l h to find out whether I had a heart or not, I 
might have been a different being; ‘a brand pluck¬ 
ed from the burning.’ Bat it is not for me to 
complain.” 
It was August when they made for Dickey a 
grave inihe church yard behind the village church. 
Old Jack and Chlob came from the city, by in¬ 
vitation, to attend the funeral, and as they turned to 
leave the pleasant spot where they had laid him 
Chlok wiped her eyes with her handerebief and 
murmured, “Poor yonog Massa! He was good- 
hearted, but not half brung up.” 
A month later and the Autumn winds, like the 
friendly robins of the nursery tale “covered him 
with leaves,” even as your pitying charity, dear 
reader, must cover the remembrance of his trans¬ 
gressions.
