My hands have often been wcary hands, Too tired to do tLeir daily ta-k; And just to fold them for everrore Has secied the .oon tl;t was best to ask. My feet have often been weary feet, Too tired to walk anot'er day; An! i-e thoI4t. 'to sit :and calmly wait is beter far than the onward way." My eyes with tears have beon so dim That I have said; "I cannot mark The work f -Iz or the way I take, For every where it is dark-so dark." But oh, thauk God! There never has come Tbat hour that makes the bravest quail; No matter how weary my feet and hands, God never has suffered my heart to fail. So the folded hands take up their work, And the weary feet pursue their way; And all is clear when the good heart cries, "Be brave!-to-morrow 's another day." ART AND HEART. -0 Every Lapital is delirious with., merriment., Paris surpassing them MI in reckless re.velry, and the 1students' quarter" of that gay ity far beyond other wdrds in up roarious festivities. Every stu ent has a capital time, and among bhe thousands of these m_errv hearted young men who enjoyed he carnival of 1847, no one quaffed more intoxicating draughts of joy ,han Eliezar de Blivels. Nor was tbere in. th e w h )le "Lat n quarter" a finer fellow or one nore generally known and loved. He was tali and well made, with a high forelhead, large black eyes, nd a gallant beariing. Gifted With a powVerful intellect, his mind -mbraced poetry, music and paiit !jg-magfnificent trinity of art nd in eacb he excelled, devoting. iimself especially to his easel a a 1areer. His parents were Creole Louisianians, residing on a fine >lantation, and Eliezar, well sup plied with funds, passed his time t Paris in dreamy ease, occup)y-1 ing his thoughts but little with the present, and never thinking of e future. He wrote poetry, ~oposed music, painted laud ~cape. And at dance or revel, oremost among the gay-hearted brong was the Louisianian. All at once, however, "a change ame over the spirit of his dream." e neglected his palette and his pen-his piano remained mute. A dark shadow appeared to cloud his existence, which had been lear as a limpid lake. Eliezar was sad and melancholy, and his pallid figure announced mental rather than physical suffering. H was in ldve," says some fair reader. Not at all, my bright eyed friend-be had been in love. He had loved, with all his heart and with all bis soul, a young girl named Julia. That is a short! sen tence which oontains many a long story, anid all that I will add to it is, that Julia-of a good family, intellectual and beautiful-still loved Eliezar with all her heart and with all her soul. Why had the affections of the young man become changed ? Why (lid tears rest in Julia's beautifal blue eyes? Why did the bond between these two young hearts seem about to break ? Alas, it was the usual reason. Julia's parents were not wealthy, and had a large faimi ly. Eieizar was introduced to a rich widow. From that day he became morose, and Julia soon saw that she no b>ngrer had possession of his heart Wbat a change ! "Quantum umutatus ab illo," said t wo of his studeh t frien ds who were rersed in Latin, and as for Julia, she made up her mind that life had no charms for her, and that~ death would be wel come. One evening Eliezar (who was going to a masked ball at mid night) called---provoked a discus sion-lost his temper-and pro nounced the fatal nord of ~rup "It is useless," said Julia ; "you have bought this opportlunity for sevral days and have had shown me that you love me no longer. You have made me unhappy, but mark me-you will he more un "ePrhaps," replied Eiiezar, in a sarcastic tone. "But as I wish to get a nap before going to the ball, I will bid you good Ovenli,g. Adieu." Julia st.oo-i m-tnotionless. ulnable to speak. it when the door closed. it appearei like the stone of a s(1pu1chre. shuttin' out from lifN all that was near, and dar an<( worth possessing. * * * * * * Free! Free ! And rile to profit by his liberty to addrt;cs a coun tess, rich, young, and a widow. A countess, who loved him, not because he %%as rieb also, but be cause lie possessed talent ! Surely Eliazar was fortunate, and soon his marriage with the fascinating widoW was the thonle of Parisian gossip-the very day was set. But, to the astonishment ut all, 'he countess did not marry Eliezur, and did marry the Marquis do Torry. It created quite a sonsa tioni. Poor Eliezar! His star of for tunc began to descend the horizon, and then he learned with regret and reproach that Julia had com MiLted suicide. Only eighteen so fair, iio gifted ; poor girl. While Eliezar was suffering un der the ,effect of this blow, lie re ceived the sad news tbt the Mis sissippi had burst its banks and in undated his father's plantation. Both his parents had lost their lives, and their property had been swept away. He was an orphan -a beggar.. This calamity diverted the thoughts of Eliezar from the marchioness, and set him thinking how he should henceforth live. "To be or not to be," as has been remarked several thousand times each year since it was penned, and in this case the word "starved" was added. "No !" replied Eliezar to his owp question. "L will gain money." This is an easy resolution, but one difficult to carry into execu tion. Eliezar was young'-a poet, a painter and a musician. But tbe supply of verses is ever above the dematnd-pictures do not find sale, unless they are flattered por traits-and there are too many old composers w-hose wvorks can be pifered, for young ones to have any chance of success. Poor Eliezar ! There he sat, hour after hour, his head resting on his ands, his eyes fixed, arid the pal lor of melancholy vailing his coun tenance. At last, an idea struck him. Why could he not sing i-n opera? As luck would have it the man ager of the Toulouse opera house was then in Paris, searching for a tenor singer. Eliezar was pre sented to him-sang a few airs and in an hour's time signed an engageient which guaranteed him a handsome income. Two days more, and he was at the scone of his anticipated triumph, where he immediately began, to study and rehearse. Possessing a fine voice and a good knowledge of music' e made rapid progress, and was soon announced in the papers as a vocal prodigy who would eclipse the famous Duprez himself. At last thbe evening came for his debut. The house was packed from pit to do me, briflian t toi lettes gracing the aristocratic boxes; while the students crowded the pit. Many fair hands carried bouquets, and it was evident that the debutant would meet with a flattering re ception. Up rose the curtain, and Eliezar appeared. Loud applause greeted him. and he advanced with easy confidence to the front of the stage; but not a sound escaped his lips. In vain did the leader of the orchestra, with violin bow up raised, wait the first note of his voice, that be might accompany him. Not a sound was heard; and the public, at first curious, soon grew impatient. Hisses, groans and other signs of dissat isfaction rang through the house; and at last the curtain fell. Man agers, actors and machinists flock ed around the debutant, and de manded the --ause of his extra Iordinary silence. The audience was indignant, and among a volley of boots and r...s was heard the question: Is he unmu " No ! 1he man ajcr ('ame before the curtain and anIhonce that be hIld lost ili bearng. Whereupon the pub'"W retired, receiving their nionev at the door. A las, it was too true. Eiiezar do Blivels wais deaf. All his dreais of' vocal I iam had vanished, and refusing a colilcction Which the actors iad nulde foUr L hir , h set out oi floot !ur the capital, al hopit hop'n that Sole a,-cident weuld deprive him of life. l1e had but a pittance left, anld his iisfortune wat a barrier to all eT)piolCIit:. One after noon, ater a long walk, he sat down before a village ale house an.d began to sing. The peasants gathered around him, and some throw coppers into his hat. Eliezar de Blivels the great artist, who had squandered so much gold, picked up the coppers and pock eted them with thanks. Thus be made his way to Pais, singing in the evenings at the lit tie hamlets where he halted, and receiving the pitiful alms which the public pity accords to wander ing minstrels. Once within sight of the capital, however, he took courage. Paris is the city of catastrophes and of good fortunes -of revolutions, happy or unhap py-and it is there that one may be seen rolling along in an elegant carriage, wLo that evening before bad not a whole pair of boots to walk in, or vice versa. On entering the gates of the metropolis, the wandering vocalist took heart, vnd he hoped he might become a bookkeeper to an apothecary or measurer tc a wood mcrchant. Passing down Odeon square, he saw a large man, dressed in black, who was about to write upon the wail with a morsel of chaik. Watching the unknown, he saw him writc--and with increasing astonishment as each successive letter was formed: "Eliezar de Blivels is heartless." Uttering a cry of rage, be rush ed forward and seized the writer quickly by the shoulders. The unknown turned fiercely around, shook off his grasp, and retreat in.g to the wall, used his cane to ward oftf any further attack. Thben, with an air of derision, he pulled out a card, and offered it with his left hand. Eliezar accepted - it, anid the unknown vanished. The artist, left alone before the inscription, endeavored to efface it, but in vain. Tbe more he rubbed, tbe more distinct the white letters stood out upon the wall, and Boon a crowd collected around him. Some recognized him, and began to shoot in derisive tones: "Eliezar de Blivels is heartless." He was forced at last to desist, and to escape from his tormentors. At sunrise the next day twc men stood face to face, in the wood of Vincennes, near Par-is Each one was armed with twc pistols, and there were no seconds Vainly had Eliezar sought to ob. tain an explanation- the unknown remained as glacial and .mute.at fatality. The duelists placed themselves forty paces apart, and at the wort given by Eliezar, tbey were t< turn, advance toward each other aid fire. One-two-three ! Elie zar fired first, but only the per cussiori cap of his pistol exploded At the same instant a ball shat tered his right arm, and his pistol fell to his feet. Then did the wounded mat ear, in tones which eeboe< through his heart ; "You hav< made me unhappy, but mark m< -you will be more unhappy your self." A second ball pierced Ehezar'1 eart. * * * * * Nine o'clock in the morning struck. Tbe second pistol sho corcluded his dream and he sprang to his feet. I will not attempt to describ< the emotions of the young mai as he carried his hand to his heart and then shook his right arm, t< see if he was wounded. But b< was unscratched. He had slep all night, and had dreamed. I was morning, and he had awok< ynge rich, n. happy child, anc not deaf or woutide<. Then as i recalled his imaginary misery, h4 thought (f' Julia-he renmembere her suicide and hastelled to he] They rioun gil had a violei 'ever, an1d had pa(ssed a i,illt o int:'se sufferinr. But the sig-ih of ELiczar-his repwitant air and :is-; protestations Of repent ;Ui ad oftfetinso re storcd her. The cure was nor speedy than could have been ef fected by all the phyicians ii Pait. Eliezar sooin married Julia, ail returning to America, they noN pass a happy existence with thcij parents, enjoying all they desire and often calling to mind the car nival of 1847. ASAEL INN AN'S SILENT LIFE Remarkable Career of a Man Who "Swor Off" Talking for Seventy Years. Zecording the death of Asaol P Lnman, whose funeral took plac( two miles east of Utica, N. Y., f correspondent says: Inman was t highly eccentric character. Seven ty years ago he built a log cabir on one of the hills that slope t< the Mohawk river. He was theL sixteen years of age,.had a wif( and $30. Sometime during th( first year of his wedded life In man informed his wife that be in tended to preserve silence for th( remainder of his days. This con elusion was the result of an ex citing dialogue which Inman over heard between his father and near relative. Expressing a be lief that more harm than goo< is wrought by speech, he an nounced his determination t< place a permanent padlock on hi lips. This was in 1810. The following year his firs child was born. When that in teresting event was approaching a near clhmax inma~n rode sevei miles in the night to Fort Herki rier in quest of a-pbysician. H carried slate and pencil, wrote statement of tho situation, and re turning with the medicine man received the announcement of hi paternal responsibiJities in silence The followmng year-in 1812 whben the yeomen of Central ani Northern New York were sum mnoned to the defense of Sackett' Harbor, Inman reported for dut; at a post near Adams, Jefferso1 county, riding alone nearly 10 miles through the forests to th recruiting station. Producing hi slate he wrote: "I come to figh -not to talk." Some years ago Inman had 0< casion to visit.Buffalo, and as a sui in law was in prospective he wer prepared for a siege. Enterin one of the leading hotels in Buffe lo, the old gentleman wrote "Best room. No meals. I bur wood. Thorght you might nc have enough, so I brought som along." The big trunk, packe with wood, was taken up to hi room, and it sufficed to keep tb eccentric warm and cook his sin pie meals during his sojourni Buffalo. Kerosene oil was a pe aversion. His theory was the the glare strained the eyes, whil the oil left an unhealthy tainti the atmosphere. He was neCVe known to sit by a coal fire, an always avoided gas, and his sot from whom I gather these detaili assures me that rather than siti a car heated by a coal fire, th old gentleman preferred to rid twenty-six miles on the platform on a bitter cold day in wintcr. His wife, who survives hin says that no woman ever had kinder husband. The relatior between the couple were alway pleasant, and Mrs. Inman has r< marked to her neighbors: "J Asael talked as much as I do, tb Lord knows what might happen. srs. Inman is eighty-eight year Sold, and vigorous. She state that during the first few years c er husband's silence he woul Sfrequently mutter in his sleep. Some of his written replies t Lthe questions of acquaintances ct rious to know why he preferre silence to speech are worthy -mentin One retort frequenti used was "A good listener is to be preferred to a poor talker." 1 Another was: "I want to provei tha'j a man can be happy and hold his tongue." Another: "1 am try Lo i ) to think of somethinatr grood eiU;h to .SLV ut lo;d. A clergy man onee asked Inman whether - e (it'rit think the Lord gave him his tongue to be used. The pen Sciled replv w:-s "The Lord gave mie a miid that tells me when to use my t()ogue." In 1842, while traveling with his wife iM a stage between Syra I cusb and Rochester, the vehicle was halted in front of- a smail country 1avern. A child was sleeping on the porch. In1man, looking out, saw a large black snake crawl to the side of the in fant. Grasping his wife's arm, he shouted :"See !" and, pointiag to the snako, sprang from the stage. pursued the reptile some distance, and finally killed it. He leaves a carefully written record of his life during some sixty years of his silence. Portions of these diaries are quite interestiig, but, as a rule he enlarges upon the absurdity of giving utterance to .frivolous -thoughts. Ho seems to have regarded speech as a sacred gift, to be indulged in only when it promised benefit to the human race. Here are some of his "axioms:" "Most lives are pro ductive of empty noise." "As one million is to one, so is sense to sound." "IHe who talks most feels least." "The fool talks while the wise man thinks." In man leaves a snug fortune, v hich his son inherits. His last written message was: "Silence is golden." His oft-penciled admonition to his son was: "Keep your mouth abut."
