fled with my unchanged appearance—my girlish 
womanhood, and presented me, with evident 
pride, to my new mother. She 6eemcd pleased, 
much pleased with her “dear little daughter,” 
as she at onco called me. She kept near me, 
constantly regarding me with a look of satisfac¬ 
tion, as though she found rest and refreshment 
in my presence. 
As for myself, 1 was charmed, delighted, in¬ 
toxicated with her. She was a magnilicent wo¬ 
man. Her presotico was imposing and tier 
manner highly cultivated. She was tall and 
lull-formed, stately and dignified; hut evidently 
possessing an abundance of life and spirit.. Her 
features, though not. classically regular, were 
pleasing. Her cdtnplexlon was deep colored, 
healthful in its tints, and of singular richness. 
Her large black eyes were radiant with intelli¬ 
gence. She had n wealth of hair, black and 
glossy as a raven's wing. Her lips were full, 
and expressive of kindliness and warmth of 
heart. Indeed, it seemed that nature had formed 
her out of her richest materials, and had been 
lavish in their use. She was dressed simply 
enough; but there was an expression of elabor¬ 
ateness. One instinctively felt she borrowed 
something from sqme extrinsic advantage. 
My admiration for my mother was so absorb¬ 
ing, that, lor some time, I was not alive to any¬ 
thing else. My first thought, on arousing, was 
of Hakky. What did he think of her? He 
must admire her. hooking at him, I saw that 
he was deeply inteiefttei, He seemed in wrapt 
attention, as though studying u new phase of 
art, while his countenance bad an impassioned 
glow quite unusual. I said to him, aside, 
“ Is not my new mother magnificent ?” 
“Perfect!” lie replied, without raising his 
eyes, as though afraid to break the spell by 
which he was bound. 
The next day a lamily council was held to dis¬ 
cuss plans for the future. It was decided that I 
should accompany my parents to Boston. Wo 
would occupy the house where. I was born and 
spent the first yearn of my childhood. I was 
pleased with this arrangement, being seized with 
a desire to see more of life— to make the acquaint¬ 
ance of that capricious dame called “society.” 
Though I liked my country home, its surround¬ 
ings and associations, I longed to step beyond 
its boundary forth into the great world —with¬ 
out one thought of its inevitable temptations. 
Hauky was to spend two years in Europe, 
traveling, studying the works of the old masters, 
and receiving such instructions and inspiration 
as Italy could give. 
“ Your pieces have promise, excellent prom¬ 
ise,” said my mother to Hakky, “ bnt they lack 
something. You need to see more of life —to 
experience more of emotion. Life, with you, 
has been too serene, too calmly happy. Your 
pieces are too tame, too pastoral. Your women 
arc all Eves ’’—glancing at me. “ One can look 
at your Devils, even, almost with complacency.” 
Hakky colored. . 
" Pardon my fix* Van,” she continued, “I am 
not a disinterested if . anger. You pictures have 
much merit in composition and execution of 
form. But you often fail to bring out an idea ol 
which one gets a glimmering. Your pieces lack 
intensity —depth of expression and of coloring. 
Many of your figures are delicate to meagrencsB. 
They need more fullness and richness of life. 
Life seems too pale to you. No matter. Yon 
will learn. Yon will soon enough find many 
chapters in it — rich, glowing, fervent; others, 
cold, barren, desolate. You will, by turns, be 
scorched and frozen. Do not restrain your emo¬ 
tions—study the play of the pussious. A rich 
world lies before yon. Go and see it, and live 
in it.” 
Harry’s eye swam, and his cheek was flushed. 
That very day, tn retouching some of Lis pic¬ 
tures, he was so prodigal of his coloring that he 
made a Venus a Hebe, quite formidable to be¬ 
hold; but,; more fortunately, he gave to a 
Madonna a fullness of life much more satisfying 
than tho pale figure which lie had represented 
us the mother of CimiST. A resemblance was 
there still- not to the fair face he had studied 
lor years, hut to the one that had possessed and 
filled hia imagination In one day. 1 was jealous, 
fConcluded next week. 
sun her spirit departed. She was still beautiful. 
The casket was fair as In life — the jewel, pre- 
' pared and polished by the great Lapidary above, 
had been taken to adorn His courts. 
It was soon arranged that I should remain 
with my grandparents, where my mother had 
first open her eyes on earth, and from whence 
6hc had gone to Heaven. 
“ We gave you our daughter,” they said to 
my father. “ You kept her twelve yearn. Lend 
us yours for half that time, and we will bo 
satisfied.” 
“She is yours,” said my father, “for the time 
yon specify. Only make her just such a woman 
as her mother.” 
There were tears in his voice; but, with a firm 
pressure of the hand, and a kiss dropped on my 
forehead, he left me. 
My grandparents lived-in a venerable looking 
house, on a fine old farm, by the sea shore. 
Withont seeming to possess much worldly wis¬ 
dom, they had great success. Though open- 
handed ami munificent, their store constantly 
increased. They had much treasure put out at 
usury—lent, to the Lord — aud they evidently 
received four fold. 
Though I was the'only’child in the house, I 
was not without companions. My grandparents’ 
hearts were young—as young as mine; and their 
sou, Gilman, woe also young, though he had 
seen forty years of life’s rich experience. I 
was fond of him, and he loved me as a bachelor 
uncle sometimes will love a roguish little niece. 
He would oftenj take me on his knee—look at 
me tenderly—twine my curls about his pule, 
slim fingers, and, kissing me gently’, would say, 
“You arc bo exactly like your mother, you must, 
be very good.” 
This uncle had charge of my education. Few 
could have been found better qualified. He was 
a ripe Christian scholar. He had traveled exten¬ 
sively, seeking health, which he had not found. 
Bat he had louud mind-treasures in abundance. 
Like the bee, he seemed only to have sought the 
flowers in earth’s parterres, and to have extract¬ 
ed the honey.* Of the sin, and crime, and wrong 
which he had witnessed, he never spoke; the 
storms which he had encountered he touched 
lightlylupon; but he never tired with dwelling 
on the treasures of nature and art which he had 
seen In many lands, and by study made his own. 
No wonder 1 loved him—this bachelor uncle ! 
He was formed to be loved, and to be happy. 
Ills occupation was literature, his recreation 
music. ITe always spent the morning hours in 
study or writing. lie then heard my lessons, 
and walked or rode with me until supper. The 
evening was given lo reading and music. 
I soon learned there was another member of 
this family—an orphan ward—left to them, like 
myself. He was in the university, and near the 
close of his Freshman yeur. As vacation ap¬ 
proached, they talked of Harry constantly. I 
thought I Bbould.be jealous of him, as he was 
evidently a pet. But I found my apprehensions 
groundless. He came home—a manly lad. ready 
to h»vo pinoo to tuc at ouce, hikI to pet and 
humor mejquite as much as any member of the 
household, though morcfdelicato and indirect in 
it .s demonstrations. I was always Borry when 
no left, nndjglad of his return. I was only jeal¬ 
ous of the pictures on which he constantly em¬ 
ployed his leaaure. I once told him so. He 
looked at me with a queer smile, and .said he 
was passionately fond of pictures ; to which 1 
petulantly answered, 
“ 1 wish 1 was a picture!” 
“ You shall .have your wish,” he quickly re¬ 
plied, “ if you Can sit still long enough.” 
So, adjusting my curls and drapery a little, ho 
proceeded at once to make a sketch. The pic¬ 
ture was soon finished — an almost, speaking 
likeness, lie seemed to appreciate his own pro¬ 
duction! greatly: for 1 often saw him take it 
from his’portfollo and study it, as though It were 
a master work of art! lie taught me to sketch 
and draw from nature. I readily learned the 
mechanical execution, but I had none of his en¬ 
thusiasm Jor the art. My pieces were fair, and 
he commended them; but they were not excel¬ 
lent. He could not teach me to compose pic¬ 
tures like himself; 1 could only copy, he 
delighted in originating.

SONG. 
BY JOHN MC INTOBH. 
A babe old fellow is neighbor G., 
A worker in Iron and steel, is he; 
Clinky, clink clank, with vigorous bang, 
Echoes his anvil with Id sty clang; 
All the day Jong 
Ills M de rol Bong 
Blends with the lium of the mill beyond. 
Brawny and brown Is his strong right arm; 
Ilis honest heart is its void of harm 
As the bird that yesterday sweetly sang, 
Measuring notes with his clink, clink, clang, 
Trilling his beet, 
So close by the nest, 
High on the pear tree hough by the pond. 
Up with the dawn is my neighbor G.,— 
The sun never finds him asleep, not he; 
Never a stave has the robin sang 
Ere has resounded his clink, clink clang: 
Tho gayest chime 
That ever old Time 
Gave to the winds in onr valley fair. 
In the wheezy voice of his old gray forge, 
High up in the chimney’s dusty gorge, 
Set to the music that ever has rang 
From his simple heart, and clink, clink, clang, 
. Again, again, 
Like a soft refrain, 
I’m heating a;chorus rich'and rare.

THE LOST JEWELS 
BY ELIZA A. SANDFOKD 
ARTIFICIAL LEG 
At approaching twilight of a fine spring day 
I was called to my mother’s room. I was not al¬ 
lowed to spend much time with her uow, and 
this afternoon was so bright, and the air so 
balmy, that, hashing in the sunshine, I had neg¬ 
lected to ask admission. I was glad of this 
summons, and answered it immediately. 
My mother was half reclining—supported by 
pillows. She looked brighter and more cheer¬ 
ful than 1 had seen her lot weeks. I had often 
heard her called beautiful. She was, at this mo¬ 
ment, surpassingly so. tier countenance was 
radiant with an inward light that spoke of peace, 
and hope, and joy. Clustering curls of fair hair 
fell about her brow, pure as the drapery of the 
couch on which she rested. Her cheeks were 
faintly flushed. Her cyea, of the clearest blue, 
seemed to Lave caught a beam from the world 
toward which her feet were hastening. 
I sprang towards her with that impulsiveness 
of manner with which childhood always ap- 
proachesjwhat is pleasing— my affection adding 
to my empresmne.nL 
“ Ah!” said my mother extending her arms to 
enfold me, “my little daughter is hapjiy —her 
countenance in suggestive ol’bird-aon#, and tun 
shine, and spring flowers. May her life always 
be as bright as these spring days.” 
Releasing me, and holding me off a little, she 
regarded me with something of the same feel¬ 
ing, I think, that I did her —a sorrowful am. 
affectionate admiration. With both her hands 
she smoothed my hair; then, dropping them, 
they tenderly imprisoned both of mine, while I 
as fondly kissed her lips. 
“ Will you bring me a box, darling,” said she, 
“which you will find on my dressing-bureau?” 
It was brought—a rosewood box, inlaid with 
silver, marked with her name and mine—our pet 
name—“K xttie.” J unlocked the box and 
placed it near her. It had several apartments 
and cuuniug little eases, lined with velvet, and 
satin of various shades, soft as dowu. Site 
opened t hese cases arid displayed their treasures. 
Then, taking a email, delicately enameled watch 
from beneath her pillow, she added it to the 
contents of the casket. 
“These jewels, my daughter,” said she, “I 
give to you. Some of them are heir-looms, 
which have long been in the family. Some have 
been given to me by my friends at. different I ime, 
many of them on my marriage. These,” (point¬ 
ing to a magnificent set of diamonds,) “belonged 
to your father’s sister, left, by her request, to 
me. I have never worn them. Keep these 
jewels, my dear, all of them. They will be u 
treasure to you, both because they were mine, 
and because they are pure and valuable.” 
She raised a lid at one end of the box and took 
out a book. This apartment was lined with 
delicate blue velvet. The book was bound in 
drab turkey morocco, richly embossed. 
“This case,” said she, “contains jewels far 
more valuable than those—jewels of eternal 
truth, which-shall exist when those are dust. 
Receive them. Make them your owu. Wear 
them. They will always be fitting and becom¬ 
ing. Accept this Bible as a sacred bequest from 
the Father of 11 s all. 
“There are other jewels, my dear, which I 
would have you preserve. They are contained 
in the. casket of your child-heart,,—jewels of 
simplicity, meekness, love, trust, purity, iuno- 
cenccand t ruth— of all that the Saviour blessed 
when he said ‘ of such is the kingdom of Heav¬ 
en.’ Guard them Do not permit tlie Tempter 
to steal them away. Do not allow them to he 
displaced by any bad passions or principles. 
May time and intercourse with the world only 
serve to polish and refine this soul-wealth. May 
you be kept pure in heart and right in life, 
and be found ‘ without spot or blemish, when 
Christ shall come to make up liis jewels.’ ” 
All this I distinctly remember; and I after¬ 
wards found it traced in pencil lines, very faintly 
— as faintly as it had been spoken —in a note, 
placed In a little pocket formed by the double 
lining of one side of the case containing tlie 
Bible. 
I did not sec my mother again until “ tlie 
golden bowl was broken.” With the next day’s

the woman—“a perfect little piece of cultivated 
rusticity,” my uncle said, “healthy, happy aud 
beloved.” 
It is true, I was beloved. With the first 
awakening of my woman’s heart, the first 
suggestion of another want than the love 
of my good uncle, and of my dear, kind, morc- 
than-parents, that love was satisfied. Had not I 
always liked Harry? Did not he like me ? I 
felt that I did a wrong when my heart told me 
that 1 loved him more than any one else on 
earth more than my grandparents, rny uncle 
or my father I But Harry said that he had their 
consent to win iny regard, and they told mo he 
was good and noble, and would doubtless make 
me very happy. 
Six years had passed, and I was now sixteen. 
Harry, since finishing his college course, had 
spent much of bis time on the hirnt, recruiting

eye it was easy to discern from whence he drew 
his inspiration. Something about the eye, lip, 
brow or hand,- would he familiar. They were 
not portraits; but they evidently belonged to 
one family, and possessed a perceptible family

State of Illinois. 
Tho rapid development of Illinois, Us steady iucruugo In population and wealth, and its oapncilj’ to produce 
cheap food, aro matters for wonder and admiration. Tiro United States Commissioner of Agriculture estimates 
the amounts or tho principal crops of IBM, for the whole country, as follow-.- Indian corn, 680 ,.581,403 bushels; 
i wheat. 100,696,823 bushels; oats, 170,090,Off! bushels; of which the farms or Illinois yielded 138,880,186 bushel* 
of Indian corn; 83,371,173 bushels of wheat; and 24,'.’73,751 bushels of oats- in realjiy more than one-fourth of 
the corn, more tliuu Otle-flflh of the wheat, and almost ono-sm-entli of iho oats prod need in all tiro United 3" talc*. 
Grain Stock Raising. 
Pre-eminently Iho first in Iho list of grain-exporting nates, Illinois ! . a]i o the great euiltlo Plate of tiro 
Union. Its fertile prairies aro well adapted by nature to the raising of rattle, sheep, horses and mules- and In 
the important interest of pork packing, it la far in advance of every other .Slate. Tho seeding i f these prairlo 
lands to tame grasses for pasturage or hay, Offers to fnrrocrs with eapiud ilro most profitable results. Tho 
hay crop or Illinois in 1864 is estimated at 2,1615,725 tope, which is more Ilian half a million tons larger than the 
crop of any other Btute, excepting only New York. 
Inducements to Settlers. 
The attention of persons, whoso limiled means forbid the purchase of a homestead in the older States, Is 
particularly invited lo these lands. Within ton years the Illinois Central Bullion,! Company has sold 1,400,000 
acres, to more than 20,000 actual settlers: and during the la-t year 204,422 acre?—a larger aggregate of sales 
than in any one year since tiro opening of the road. Tiro farms aro sold In tracts of forty or eighty acres,
