The winds, that kiss me as they pass— 
The starry shadow ol the rose 
Sitting beside her on the grass— 
The daffodilly, trying to bless 
With better light the beauteons air— 
The lily, wearing the white dress 
Of sanctuary, to be more fair— 
The lithe-armed, dainiy-fingered brier, 
That in the woods so dim and drear, 
Lights np betimes her tender fire 
To soothe the home.-slck pioneer— 
The moth, his brown sails balancing, 
Along the stubble crisp and dry— 
The ground-flower, with a blood-red ring 
On either hand—the pewet’s cry— 
The friendly robin’s gracious note— 
The hills, with carious weeds o’erruo— 
The althea, with her crimson coat, 
Tricked ont to please the wearied sun— 
The dandelion, whose golden shape

The coming on of eve—tbc springe 
Of day break, soft and silver bright— 
The frost, that with rough, rugged wings 
Blows down tbe cankered buds—the white,

Of August, falling still and wide— 
Broad corn-fields—one chance stalk ol wheat, 
Standing with bright head hung aside— 
All things, my darling, all things seem 
In some strange way to speak of thee; 
Nothing is half so much a dream. 
Nothing so much rcaiity.

O most beloved! most beautiful! 
I miss, and find thee everywhere!

THE WEDDING DRESS. 
BY L. JARVIS WILTON. 
Mary CARTER°and her cousin, Julia Sack- 
ett, were enjoying a cozy, friendly, morning 
chat, in Mrs. Sacicett’s snug little sitting- 
room, when Ella Ross presented herself be¬ 
fore them. Seating herself in the rocking- 
chair, she began: 
“Girls, did you ever hear of such a strange 
being as Miss West? I always thought she 
delighted in inconsistencies. I don't see how 
she can occupy such a prominent position in 
society as she does, when she does such ridicu¬ 
lous and absurd things. Nothing but her 
wealth allows her to be tolerated in high and 
fashionable society.” 
“I have never observed anything more stange 
or remarkable in her conduct than might be 
found in that of any other person,” quietly re¬ 
plied Mary. 
‘•You have not observed it? Why, every¬ 
body is talking about her. She has just exposed 
her vulgarity by her marriage. Only think, 
she wore plain calico for a bridal dress, with no 
ornaments, and people think that, to save ex¬ 
pense, she dispensed with a marriage feast. As 
Mr. and Mrs. Nor ton have not been seen since 
the occurrence took place, it is supposed they 
have retired into some qoiet nook in the coun¬ 
try for a while, sufficient to suggest the idea of 
a bridal tour. Nothing but low, mercenary 
motives, could actuate persons in their circum¬ 
stances to appear so foolishly. It is very strange 
when she, an only child, can command the 
whole of her father’s fortune.” 
“ Miss West certainly had the right, and 
probably the.privilege, of selecting her own 
apparel, and making such arrangements as she 
desired for the occasion, without consulting 
Madame Demorkkt's Fashion Magazines, or 
asking her towm-peopleif such and such things 
would be agreeable to them. She was certain]y 
a sweet-looking bride, even in a * calico dress, 
without ornaments,’ and doubtless had some 
good reasons, best known to herself, for this 
apparent singularity.” 
Miss Ross appealed somewnat discomfited at 
this remark, but continued the thread of gossip 
doing have pledged myself not lo wear or coun¬ 
tenance the use of imported goods. Our sex 
have, by extravagance in dress and living, by a 
foolish weakness for ‘high life,’ done great dis¬ 
honor t<^ our nation. We have sent our gold 
abroad to enrich other nation?, and received no 
substantial equivalent in return. We have re- 
: ceived that which our own land might now be 
producing equally as well, had we encouraged 
a home manufacture. Besides, we have tacitly 
intimated an in ability in our own country to 
produce things good enough or nice enough for 
us. We have contracted a habit, which is fast 
becoming a national fault, of Indulging In costly 
fabrics and luxurious extravagance. This is 
certainly the height of disloyalty. From duty 
to my country, I have joined this Covenant. 
As a member of it, as an American woman, 
loyal to her country, I must, and will make my¬ 
self a practical example of what I think Amer¬ 
ican ladles should do in times like these to save 
their country’s finances and reputation.” 
“ Your sentiments do you honor, my Lillie. 
I wish that every woman in the land was like- 
minded. But still, I think you could wear that 
dress, as a present from me, without compro¬ 
mising your principles.” 
“Indeed, I can not. It would be unpatriotic. 
I should be unworthy the blood of my Revolu¬ 
tionary ancestors, false to my pledge, and false 
to my convictions of duty, if I should do so. 
Our young men have given their lives to put 
down this rebellion, to preserve tbe integrity of 
the nation. Our old men have giveu their 
property and lifted their voices in cheering 
tones to those upon the battlements, 1 and shall 
not woman give her mite, her influence, to the 
noble cause ? I can not look upon it as a sacri¬ 
fice, but deem it a privilege to deny myself any 
luxury which my country can not afford to 
have me use. It is a matter which concerns us 
individually and socially. By our lavish ex¬ 
travagance we nourish habits which will inevi¬ 
tably lead to profligacy. We have only to look 
around us, in the streets of the smallest village, 
to find the effect of our social follies. It is 
quite as much a subject concerning morality as 
patriotism.” 
“ You are right, Lilllik. It is true that, as 
a people, as individuals personally concerned, 
we have not viewed this subject as we ought. 
I am with you in all measures to begin fight. 
But do you bear in mind that people will mis¬ 
understand you, will yiink strange of any prac¬ 
tical reformations, and will impute to you 
wrong motives, for what may appear strange to 
them? \ou know theories are very beautiful, 
but practice is positively ugly.” 
“But practice appears ugly only because 
people have not the moral courage to do it,” 
responded Lillie, 
“Gob bless you. Liluk, the noble woman 
that, you are. Although there is nothing too 
good or costly for such a bride as you to wear, 
I would not have you tarnish one of your noble 
principles for all the. splendor of the world. 
Hold them fast, my dear, for they arc .jewels of 
priceless value. Any fabrics you choose will 
look beautiful to me wheu I think of the truth 
you love bo well. But of our future home? 
where snail it be ? Shall we board, or hare a 
home of our own ? There is an elegant house 
on Walnut street,—a three-story front, with all 
desirable conveniences,—for sale or rent. It is 
one of the handsomest places I know of. If 
you wish, we can board and have a suite of 
pleasant rooms for a home, without the cares of 
housekeeping. Which shall it be ?” 
“Neither of those places, Henry: but I ’ 
should like a small house, not quite so fashion- 1 
ably situated. We can makeitaspleasant as we J 
choose. We can keep house ourselves; it will * 
seem more like home, and we shall be much 5 
happier in having the care of our home. I al¬ 
ways pity people who live at boarding houses. > 
While there are soldiers and soldier’s families 1 
suffering for comforts which the wasted wealth 1 
of the rich might procure for them, 1 believe It 1 
wrong to indulge in. ar.y needless expense. In * 
times like these, our festivities will become sub- I 
lime when clothed in simplicity and plainness, f 
if the superfluity be devoted to good purposes.” * 
A sweet, mellow voice tremblingly sings 
some of those beautiful home sougs that every¬ 
body loves to hear. With more of tenderness 
and softness of melody, she sings of the home 
“beyond the river,” but very near to some 
within that, room. There is a tranced silence 
all over the room, only broken by an occasional 
sigh of pain caused by wounds received ou the 
field of battle, and in the holy stillness many 
hearts go back to their early homes, lo the 
places where they have left their dearest treas¬ 
ures. 
“What’sthat?” asks one, who has lain for 
some time, in a state of unconsciousness. “ Am 
I in Heaven ? I thought I heard my mother 
sing. I remember now; I was in a battle; I 
saw a Yankee shoot down otxr Colonel.; I aimed 
at him, when something pressed heavily against 
my head. I knew the bullets were flying like 
burning hail around me, but I did not think of 
being shot- Now I waken to hear her singing. 
I can't look in her face. How can I, when I 
fought against the old flag, which she told me 
always to cherish ? It can’t be Heaven, either, 
lor how could they let me in there with my pure 
and sainted mother. It must be a dream.” 
“Is your wound very painful?” quietly asks 
the attending surgeou, 
“My wound! Then I am on earth yet. 
Yankee uniforms! I see, I am in a Yankee 
hospital. I dreamed I heard my mother's voice 
as she sang to me when I was a boy.” 
“A Northern lady has been singing some 
beautiful songs to the poor boys, and I guess 
more than one of them thought of home aud 
Heaven while she sang,” said the surgeou. 
“ I wish she would come this way, so I can 
see her,” sighed the man. “ Perhaps she will 
sing something for me.” 
“I will ask her,” said the surgeon. Turn¬ 
ing, be heckonetl the lady to the side of the cot. 
“I am a rebel prisoner, or was till I heard 
you sing; but now, if I ever recover, I will 
never lift my hand again against the old flag my 
mother loved so well. 1 thought it wa 3 her 
singing when I heard you. She died when I 
was a boy. Had she lived, if. would have killed 
her to see me wearing this uniform. Won’t 
you sing to me, ma’am, the old song she always 
loved, ‘ The Star Spangled Banner?’ ” 
We have heard the song many times. It has 
been sung by thousands. Tt 1ms been sung 
upon every sea, and the hills of many lands 
have echoed the sweet melody, but in that room 
it was as good as something newer, and tear- 
dimmed eyes looked upon tbe singer as she sang. 
WIT AND WISDOM. 
Tite man who has good judgment in perfection 
is master of his companions without letting them 
see it. 
Why are the wicked like corn and potatoes? 
Having eyes, they see not; having ears, they 
hear not. 
The truly great are humble, as those ears of 
corn aud boughs of trees that are best laden 
bend lowest. 
It’s odd how folks will force disagreeable 
knowledge upon us—crab-apples that we must 
swallow and defy the stomach-ache. 
When you are trying to sleep, it is not pleas- 
ant to hear two dog?, half a mile apart, discus¬ 
sing a dogmatical difference of opinion. 
A man thanks you the less for presents, the 
more inclined be is to give presents of his own; 
the beneficent is rarely a grateful person. 
Foote expressed the belief that a certain 
miser would take the beam out of his own eye 
if he knew where he could sell the timber. 
The blooming of the renovated earth is the 
best balm for sorrow over those that lie under 
it; graves are better hid by blossoms than 
snow. 
A case of starvation in the Btreets of Lon¬ 
don is called by a high-toned English paper, 
death “from a morbid antipathy to the work- 
house.” 
Write your name with kindness, love and 
mercy on the hearts of the people you come ill 
contact with year by year, and you will never 
be forgotten. 
A Vermont paper savs that a man in that 
State who was lately drinking through a hole 
in the ice, caught a big trout with bis nose.

Miss Ross appeared somewnat discomfited at Biarried. There was no costly bridal veil, no

He is junior partner in the firm of Wjnthrop, Wends besought her to dress more in aeoord- 
Stakr & Co., in the city of C. I should think 
he would want his wife to occupy a position in 
society corresponding to his own in the com¬ 
mercial world, to maintain a style of dress and 
equipage in keeping with their means. If she 
only would, she might rule the very highest 
circles of fashionable society.” 
“Perhaps,” Baid Mary, “she is not ‘one 
born to rule.’ i think she has no ambition in 
that way. I have always considered her as a 
lady of firm principles and sterling worth.” 
" Hut it looks so mean in her, so stingy, for 
one in her circumstances to have bo plain a 
wedding,” said our advocate for “high posi¬ 
tions,” and “fashionable society.” 
Let us make the acquaintance of Mrs. Nor¬ 
ton, who has been commended to our notice 
by that popular institution, "morning (-alls.” 
We will take the privilege allowed by authors 
to readers, and see her prior to the evening of 
that “strange wedding,” us Miss Rosa and her 
friend? would call it. 
“Well, Lillie, 1 will send you a wedding 
dress from the city, if you will let me. There 
is an exquisite piece ol satin, which J think 
must have been designed and woven expressly 
for you, and i know it will look charmingly 
upon you. May I send it?” 
“No, Henry, I can not wear it. I have 
joined the Ladies’ National Covenant, and by so 
j A few weeks after the opening of our story, 
’ we find the same persons again together, 
“I never was so disappointed in any person 
t iu my lire, as in Mrs. Norton’" said Ella 
> Ross. 
, “In what respect are you disappointed in 
: her?’’asked Mary Carter. 
“ Why, every way. She is not such a person 
: as I thought her, at all. You know how much 
everybody wondered at her strange conduct in 
having so plain a wedding, when she is so 
wealthy? Then nobody knew where they 
went afterwards. Well, they returned yester¬ 
day. People really say that Lillie’s father 
gave her five hundred dollars with which to 
procure her bridal outfit. They made a tour 
among the army hospitals, and used the greater 
part of the money to purchase comforts for the 
sick and wounded soldiers.” 
“It was just like her; I knew her loo well to 
credit the reports which have been floating 
through the village concerning her,” said 
Mary, who knew that most conspicuous among 
the “everybody,” who had wondered and talked 
so much about her friend, was Mias Ross. 
“ You know Susan Lee, who has been sew¬ 
ing at our house?” continued Ella. “ Her 
brother is in the army. She had a letter from 
him last week, and he wrote that Mr. and Mrs. 
Norton had visited the hospital where he is 
sick, and hiul been so kind to them all that 
when they came to leave many of tite boys 
fairly cried. Besides giving John Lee some 
money to supply his own personal wants, they 
gave him fifty dollars to send to his mother to 
pay her rent with. You know they are very 
poor, Mrs, Lee is sick, and the money that 
John sends home is their sole dependence, with 
the exception of the small amount that Susan 
earns when she is able to sew. I think it is 
| very good in Mrs. Norton, and I don’t know 
but she did perfectly right in wearing calico for 
a wedding dress.”
