Wlater's stern fettering cloud is passed!,
E at tweet Spring where art thot!
Tit! whit cloud floats 'mid smiling blue,
The broad bright sunshine's ijokbm hue,
Bathes the Still frosea earth:
Til changed! above, black vapors roll
We turn from our expected stroll,
And seek the blazing hearth,
Hark that sweet carol! with delight
We leave the stiiing room
The little blue-bird meets out tight
Spring, glorious Spring, hat eone!
The south wind's balm is in the air,
The melting snow-wreaths every where,
Are leaping off in showers;
And Nature, in her brightening looks,
Telli that her flowers and leaves and brooks,
And birds will soon be ours.
A few toft tunny days have shone,
The air has lost its chill,
A bright green tinge succeeds the brown
Upoa the southern hill.
Off to the woods a pleasant seen! -Ecre
sprouts the fresh youag winbirgreen,
There swells a mossy mound;
The wandering wind is sweet and mild,
And buds are bursting round.
Where its long rings uncurls the fern,
The violet nestling low,
Casts back the white lid of its urn,
Its purple streaks to show,
Beautiful blossom! first to rise
And Bmile beneath Spring's wakening, skies,
The courier of the band
Of coming flowers what feelings iweet
Gush as the silver gem we meet
Upon its slender wand!
Warmer is each rmecessiTe sky,
llore toft the breexes pass;
The maple's gems of crimson lie
Upon the thick green grass,
The dogwood sheds its dusters white,
The birch has dropped its tassels slight,
Cowslips are round the ril';
The thresher whistles in the glen,
Flatters around the warbling wren.
And swamps have voices shrilL
A simultaneous burst of leaves
Ilath clothed the forrest;
A single day's bright sunshine weavta
This vivid, gorgeous show.
ILasses of shade are east beneath,
The flowers are spread in varied wreath.
Night brings its soft, sweet moon;
Horn wakes in mist, and twilight grey
Weeps it bright dew, and smiling May
ilclta into blooming June!

TJp in the mountain solitude,
Beside a "pile" of clay,
A wi,ht, with shovel, pick and pan,
SUiod at tlie close of dsy;
His shirt and sash were very red,
UiH nose was very blue,
And tho' the sces around was grand,
TheraosrECTS wouldn't do.
JJLjbat enough, 'twas shocking bad,
His sunburnt neck was bare;
One eye looked drolL the other sad,
Beneath his unkempt hair;
Hi, muddy jack-boots of all jet
Were long ago bereft,
And unto them, like unto him,
But little SOLS was left.
From out hit pale, unsmiling lips,
With rank beard overgrown,
Outspske this lonely mining man,
In semi-growling tone;
Whil restlessly his jack-boot kept
The devila tattoo drumming
"I had no sense in coming here,
I've gained no cents by coming.
"I have not sinned as tome folks do;

And tlio' my wayt of life are hasp,

My neighbor's failings I let pass,
I covet not a shade
Of all his goods, nor ox, nor ass,
Nor man, jior servant maid.
"But fcr this last I claim no grace,
Though some may not approve it,
Because in this infernal place
There are no maids to covet;
Nor sparkling eyes, nor beaming smH.es,
That filled my dreams of yore;
Alas! alas! those days are past,
My dsy dreams now are ore!
"Oh, for one hour, where some one's ye
Are bright and purely glancing,
And some one's dainty little feet
To joyous measures dancing; -
Where graceful forms are floating round
Mast potent heart dissolvers;
None but sors dancers here are found,
Surrounded by revolvers.
Oh, for one hour where early life
Flowed passing merrily,
Where youth still hung oa low-toned words,
And not upon a tree;
Where friends eould wrangle and debt te,
About each passing trifle,
And meet the flash cf wit, instead
Of bowie-knife or rifle."

A friend in Stocktridgo (Mass.)
sends np the following anecdote of
Rev. Zeb. TwitchelLa Methodist clergy
man in fall and regular standing, and
a member of the Vermont Conference.
At one time he represented Stock-
bridge in the State Legislature
oh." says our informant, "is a man
of fair talents, both as a preacher and
musician. In the pulpit he is rare,
solemn, dignifieda thorough, ' sys
tematic sennonizer; but out of the
pulpit, there te no man living who is
more full of fun and drollery. On
one occasion, he was wending his way
toward the seat of the Annual Confer
ence of ministers, in company with
another clergyman. Passing a country
inn, he remarked to his companion':
"The last time I stopped at that tavern,
slept with the landlord 1 vnjeT In
utter amazement, his clerical friend
wanted to know what he meant. "I
mean just what I say," replied Zeb.;
and on went the travelers in unbroken
silence, until they reached the Confer
ence. In the early part of the session
the Conference sat with closed doors,
for the purpose of transacting private
business, and especially to attend to
the annual examination of each mem
ber's private character, or rather con
duct during tnc past year. For this
purpose, the clerk called the roll, as
was the custom, and in due course
Zeb.'s name, was called. "Does any
one know aught against the conduct of
brother Twitchell during the past
year?" asked the Bishop, , who was
the presiding officer. After a moment's
silence, zeo.s traveling companion
arose from his seat, and, with a heavy
heart, and grave, demure countenance,
said he felt that he had a duty to per
form; one that he owed to God, to the
church, and to himself. He must
therefore discharge it fearlessly, though
with trembling. He then related what
Zeb. had told him while passing the
tavern, how he slept with the landlord's
wife, etc. The grave body of ministers
was struck as with a thunderbolt; al
though a few smiled, and glanced first
upon Zeb., then upon the Bishop
knowingly, for they knew, better than
the others, the character of the accus
ed. The Bishop called up "brother
Ii" and asked him what he had to say
in relation to so serious a charge. Zeb
arose and said: "I did the deed! I never
lie." Then, pausing with an awful
seriousnes's, he proceeded, with slow
ana solemn deliberation: "mere was
one little circumstance, however, con
nected with the affair, I did not name
to the brother. It may not have much
weight with the Conference, but al
though it may be deemed of trifling
importance, I will state it: when I
v . l i v ii ii y
slept witn ine lanaioras wile, as 1
told the brother, I kept the tavern my
self I JLhe long and troubled coun
tenances relaxed; a titter followed;
and the next name on the roll was
called."

The death of Rogers, the poet, at
the age of ninety-one, suggests-what
vast changes have occurred within Ms
vast lifetime. He has left on record,
in his "Table-Talk," that he saw the
heads of the rebels on Temple Iar;
that he saw several girls, who were
mere children, going to execution for
having participated in the Lord George
Gordon riots; and that he had talked
with General Oglethorpe, who had
taked with men who remembered the
rebellion, and were cotemporary with
the death of Charles the First; What
mighty changes rise before the memory
in thinking of such a life? The progress
made in manners, in laws, in material
progress, among all civilized nations,
since Rogers was a child is almost in
credible. Bull-baiting and cock-fight
ing, for example, were the amusements
of the Mghest classes then; while now
such exhibitions have ceased to be
attended, even by the lowest and most
vulgar. Men were quartered for great
crimes, and their quarters left to rot in
sun and wind, m presence of a whole
city tnen; wnne now, lor tne same
crime, transportation is the severest
punishment, and it is generally follow
ed by a speedy pardon. . FinaUy, the
difference between "Tom Jones" and
the"Kewcomes" in decency, illustrates
the difference in manners of that age
and this. ; . .-.
The laws hve changed not less, and
invariably for the better. It tMs coun
try primogeniture has been abolished,
and republicanism substituted for colo
nial slavery. In England a penal code,
almost as bloody as Draco's, has been
replaced by one comparatively mild
taxation has been more eqitably ad
justed; the law courts have been re
formed, and -legislation generally im
bued with a more popular character.
The world before the Deluge, and the
world after it, were scarcely more
different in these respects, than Eng-
and when liogefs Was born, and Jbng-
andwhen he died. The advances made
in material progress are even greater.
liogers Found turnpikes just coming
in; he left railroads everywhere thread
ing the land. He found slow, clumsy
ships; he left s?nft-going steamers.
He found a tardy post for the trans
mission cf news end letters; he left
the magnetic telegraph. " He found the
suburbs swarming with highway-men;
he left a police that kept guard over
he whole kingdom. Perhaps never
since the world began, has there been
so much progress, in every department
of civilized life a3 during the ninety
years of Rogers. Phla. Ledger
There is great danger of Christian
wives losing sight of the unconverted
state of their husbands, when those
husbands are affectionate partners, and
kind, exemplary -citizens. And there
is no less danger, perhaps, of circour-
agement, if many prayers have gone
up for their conversion without appar
ent effect, and many tender words have
been spoken in seasons when the heart
seemed open and impressible to receive
them. We have seen wives who had
tacitly abandoned all hope of the con
version of their companions in life,
and cherished no real and vital solici
tude for them. But the true Christian
should never despair, but rely on the
promises of God never repealed, and
sow beside all waters, assured of find
ing fruit after many days. Rev. T. S.
Cuyler gives, in the Christian Intelli
gencer, an incident in point:
" 1 am forever done with church-
going and preaching said a skeptical
husband to his pious wife, after listen
ing to a pungent sermon on infidelity.
But the wife vraved. That is what
every wife can do. She prayed. My
dear said she, one evening, with gentle
voice, 'will you grant me one little re
quest? Go "with me to-night to meet
ing.' 'I will go to the door, but no
further,' he replied. That will ' do
said the amiable wife. They went to
gether. They parted at the entrance,
her heart absorbed, as she took her
seat, in fervent prayer for her beloved
partner. Some minutes elapsed; ser
vice had commenced, when suddenly
the door opened, a heavy step advanc
ed, and, to her unspeakable joy, her
husband calmly seated himself near
her. That night Mr. H. was interest
ed and affected. The next evening.
after tea, as they sat conversing at the'r
pleasant fireside, the husband rose, and,
while a tear trickled down his cheek,
vviie, said he, w it not time to qo to
Churchf She sprung from her chair,
ana, though it was early by a whole
hour, she feared delay. Taking hat
and cloak, they went. That was the
happiest night of their wedded life;
for Mr. H. took liis place among the
inquirers and for the last ten years
has sat beside his wife at the communion
table. Header, have you done aKyour
duty to your unconverted friends?

If there be any one thing in wMch
English travelers usually exMbit either
their prejudice or their stupidity, it is
in attempting to describe the language
and manners of our people. The fol
lowing is a ca-se in point. The Hon.
Miss Murray, in her book on the
United States, give ; the following as
an actual conversation which she heard
between ten younr ladies in a first
class American Hotel:
"Miss, it's feeding time, I guess ;
what will you eat?"
"loure very po-lite, to be sure;
what's the ticket?" .
"Chicken and corn fixings, and pork
with union fixings."
"Well, Fm hungry some; 111 have
some pig and fixings."
The twain retired, and brought a
profusion of viands, wMch elicited the
remark
"Well, that's substantial."
The young ladies appetites appear
ed to be good, for I heard the observa
tion "Well, you eat considerable; you're
in full blast I guess."
"Guess I am, too; it s so all fired
cold, and I have been such an
lasting long time off my feed."

Vised:
"A printing office is like a school:
it can have no interlopers, hangers-on,
or twaddlers, without a serious incon
venience, to say nothing of loss of
time, which is just as much as gold to
the ' printer as though it metalically
glistened in Ms hand. What would
be thought of a man who would enter
a school, and twaddle first with the
teacher and then with the scholars
interrupting the studies of one and
the discipline of the other? And yet
tnis is tne precise enect ot the loaler
m the printing office. He seriously
interferes with the course of business,
distracts the fixed attention wMch is
necessary to the good printer. Xo
gentleman will ever enter it and pre
sume to act loafer. He will feel above
it, for no real man ever sacrifices the
