Hlow oldly falls upon the heart The words 'lie's gone astray ! ]From those who shared with him the joys Of fortune's brighter day. 'Tis human for the soul to err, Beguiled by visions fair; Then crush it not with words of scorn, Nor drive it to despair. When some frail son of earth shall pass Benesth misfortune's cloud, 1c thou a light to gild the gloom Of error's suble shroud. P'erchance if you desert him now, Because he's gone astray, No other friend may fling a smile Of sunshine o'er his way. 'There's many a heart that strays afar From virtue's beaten track, Wkich, like the dove unto the ark, Will ere long wander back. One gentle word of kind rebuke, May call the romer hone; No more in paths of vice and shame, His wayward feet may roam. But, oi1, one harsh, ill-spoken worl May chill the erring soul, And drive the victim far beyond The limits of control. To see the friends of bappier days In coldness turn away, Oft proves the bane that maadly drives The sin sick soul astray. . When you upbraid the faults of youth, Let not your words be cold; For chilling tones, like melted lead, Soon harden in the mould. Sut speak in accents soft and kind, The wayward to reclaim : And thus you'll dry the turbid stream, From whence his errors cnse. Wipe off the penitential tear That glisten on his clecek ; And bid him turn to virtuel's paths, And there forgiveness seek. Upon his conscience, sick with sin, The balm of comfort pour; And, like the Savior of mankind, Did him" go, sin no nore LEIARMING GRAIMAR. .1R. EDITOR:-1 have been sendin' my dater to school to a scholmiaster in this naber hood. Last Friday I went over to the scool just to see how Nancy was getting along. and I sees things I didn't like by no means. TIhe Scoolmaster was larnin her things en. tirely out of the line of eddyeation, and as I think improper. I set a while in the school .house and heered one class say their lesson. They was a spellen, and I thot spelled quite exceedingly. Then cum Nancy's turn to say her lesson. She said it very spry. I was shot! and determined she should leave that scool. I have heerd that grammer was an -uncommon fine study, but I don't want eny more grammer about my house. - The lesson that Nancy said was nothing but the fIoolish. est kind uv talk, the ridieles luv talk you ever seed. She got up and the first word she sed was " I lore !" I looked rite at her hard for dain so im-~ proper, but she went rite on and sed: " Thou loccst, He loves," and I reckon you never heerd such a rigger. myrohe in your life-love, love, love, and' nothing hut love. She sed one time, ea I did loce." Ses I, "who did--.yer love I" Then the; schollers lafi'ed, but [ wvasn't to be put off, and I sed " who did you love, Nancyi I want to know-who did you love ?" The; schoolmaster, Mr. McQuillister, put in and med he would explain when Nancy finislhed the lesson. This sorter pasified me, and: Nace went on with awful love talk. I got wvus and was every word. She med " I might, could or wouli love." I stopped her again, and sed I reckon I would see about that, and told her to walk out of that house. Thela schoolnaster tried to interefere, but I wouldn't let him say a ,word. He sed I was a fool and I knocked him down and made him holler in short order. I taukt the strate thing to him. I told him I'de show him how heede larn my (later grammer. I got the nabers together, and we sent Mr. McQuillister off in a hurry, and I reckon Aharl he no more grammer teechin in these parts soon. if you know of any rather 01 4ish man in your region that doant teach gramtmer, we would be glad if you wood send him up. But in the footure we will be akoerful how we employ men. Young school .masters wont do, especially if they teeches grammer. It is a bad thing for morils. Yours till death, THOMAS JEFFERSON SOLE.

A recent traveler relates, that a favorite dramatic piece in the towns of Genoese terri tory is founded on the following tragic story ; A few years sinco there lived at Port Mau rice, near Oneglia, two loves named Anna and Guiseppa, the children of widows in good circumstances, the former eighteen, and the latter twenty years of ago. The. parents had given their consent to their union, and the wedding day was soon to be fixed; when during a short absence of Guiseppa, proia bly brought about by artful contrivance ; an intriguing friend of the family prevailed on the mother of the bride to give her daughter to a more wealthy lover. Anna, overcome by maternal importunity, did what she had not firmness to refuse to do, and promised to bestow her hand on a man for whom she had no affection. Grief, however, soon under mined her health, and by way of amusement, she was sent to the mountains to the olive 1 harvest. Her mother also went to see some relations in the country, and an elder sister was left home. Anna, nevertheless, grew worse: nay, she was so ill, that her friends, alarmed for her life, sent her back to her mother's house. Meanwhile Guiseppa had returned and the report of Anna's intended compulsory mar riage soon reached his ears. On the follow ing Sunday ho met her sister at mass, with the urgency, and with the resignation, of des. pair, he implored her to procure a last inter. view with his beloved. They agreed that he should find Anna in the garden -in the even ing by moonlight, while the only guardian domestic, an old sailor, was at the public house. At the appointed time Guiseppa was in the garden,'and there lie found his Anna, weak, melancholy, and silent; she went up to him with faltering steps; but in vain he questioned her ; in vain lie endeavored to draw from her the acknowledgement that she still loved him, and acted by compulsion-not a word could he clict-mute, pale, and motionless she stood like a beauteous statute before him. At length he clasped the adored object in gn ardent embrace, during which he buried a poignard in her heart. She fell without a groan. The niurderer hastily fled over the wall of the garden. The sister, alarmed at Anna's protracted absence, wont out into parden, where she found her lifeless in her blood, and with the assistance of ihe old sailor, who had returned too late, carried her into the house. The wretched assasin, impeled by savage Frenzy after strolling about all niight, again saled the wall o.f the g;Irden, whercjw no longer found his Anna, but only her blood, which he was busily employed in wiping up with his handkerchief; when the mother, ig norant of what had happened, returned early in-tle morning from the rillgiaiura, accom pamined by the friend who was the cause of the catastrophe, and, unlocking the gate, en tered the garden. The frantie Guiseppa ran to meot her, and holding the bloody hand kerchief close to her face, wildly cried, " Conosci tu quel sangue f'. (Do you know the blood ?) The mother rushed with a fear. ful presentiment into the house, where the corpse of her murdered child. The maniac again fled to the cavern of the neighboring montains. The corpse was decorated after the Italian fashion, crowned with a garland of myrtle, and deposited the night before the funeral in a. open cofin in the church before the high altar. Here a personi was placed to watch it by the light of consecrated tapers. After midnight the assassin suddenly forced his way into church ; the affr-ighted watchman ran off, but stopped at a distance to observe his motions, and beheld the unfortunate Guiseppa covering the remains of her whomi he had murdered from affection, with a thousand kisses and burning tears ; after~ which, with the rapidity of lightning, lhe dis patched himself by several pistol-shots, and fell lifeless on the corpse of his beloved vic tinm. T1he unhappy mother wvent raving nmad. During her insanity she frequently exlaim ed,-"- Cinnsei tu quel sangue ?" anid sunk into a premature grave. TuE eonly substitute for money is polite ness.
