The daily phoenix. (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, December 23, 1866, Image 4
From til*- Kenryenly Shore.
From tho throne of lifo-eteruaL
From tho home of love supernal,
Where the angel feet make music
( >ver all the starry floor,
Mortals, 1 have come to meetyou,
(Jonie with words of love to greet you,
Ami to tell you of the glory
That is minc forevermore.
As ono heart vearns for another
As a child turns ti) ils mother -
From the golden gates ?d' glorj
Turu 1 to tin earth once neu-, ?
W here 1 drained iii?' cup or sadness,
Where, my soul was stung to madness,
And life's'bitter burning billowa<
Swept my burdened being o er.
lint while living, striving, dying,
Never did niv soul cease crying,
"Yo who guide the fates and fairies,
Give, oh, give me, I implore,
From the myriad hosts of nations,
From the countless constellations,
One pure spirit that can love me
One that I, too, can adore!"
Then this fervent aspiration
Found my fainting soul salvation -
For from Out its blackened lire-crypts
Did my resistless spirit soar -
And mv beautiful ideal,
Not too saintly to be real,
burst more brightly on my vision,
Than the fancy-formed Lenore.
'Mid the serging seas she found me,
With thc oillows breaking 'round mo,
And my saddened, sinking spirit
In'her arms of love upbore;
Like a lone one, weak and weary,
Wand'ring in the midnight, dreary,
On her sinless,, saint less bosom,
Drought me to tho heavenly shore.
Like the breath of blossoms blending,
Like the prayers of saints ascending,
Like the rainbow's seveu-hued glory,
DU-nd our souls forevermore.
Earthly love and lust enslaved nie,
But Divinest love has saved me.
And 1 know now, first and only,
How to love and to adore.
Oh, my mortal friends and brothers,
We are each and all another's.
And the soul that gives most freely
From its treasure hath the more;
Would yon lose your life-you find it,
And in giving li ve yon bind it,
Like an amulet of safety,
On your heart forevermore!
HE DIDN'T TELL
BY MKS. DENISON.
"Never ! Dicky dear-I couldn't
boar it ; you know I couldn't-so
never tell me when .you are going to
get married ;" cried pretty Mrs. Co?
lonel Fisher to her tall son.
Poor little woman ! less like a
mother bearing the burdon of some
forty years, than a pleading child,
.she looked, for she had tho misfortune
to be so extremely youthful in appear?
ance, that even well-bred people
smiled when she introduced "that
great, handsome Dick Fisher, you
know," as her son. And he often
threatened to put her in his pocket,
ns indeed it almost seemed he might
do, if he had the mind.
The little lady loved her son idola
trously, and eyed every pretty girl
who came in his vicinity with an ab?
solute tigcrislmess of expression that
would have been most formidable in
a woman . f more inches ; but nobody
was afraid of hov, and consequently
the butterflies und moths fluttered
round her wonderful, big-boned sou,
utterly regardless of cousequences.
Now, if Diek had minded to boast,
he could have boasted of a noble,
manly beauty, such as is not often
seen among the sons of men. It was
hardly to be wondered at. that his mo?
ther worshipped him. Think of the
handsomest man you know, and then
imagine him ten times handsomer,
and you have what Mrs. Fisher
thought of her boy. Dick's eyes ?md
Dick's hair-Dick's complexion and
Dick's, feet-Dick's nobleness and
Dick's sweetness of disposition-how
Dick could fight, notwithstanding,
and had frightened her to death on
three distinct occasions, by thrashing
boys older if not bigger than himself
- these were her themes.
And Dick loved his mother. Tt
was most touching to see the fatherly,
patient way in which he nursed her
when she was ill-bore with all her
little foibles-and declared that he
didn't care for the girls-not he
mother was worth them all.
"Do yon know you spoil that boy
of your's?" said an over-busy matron
one day-"he'll never want a home
of his own, while you pet and coddle
him so."
At which the little widow bridled,
and her eyes snapped.
"Indeed ! and I think ny Dick
don't need a home while he has his
motlier," and, like a little ruffled
white hen, she shook her feathers'in?
di a nan tly.
"Ah ! but Iiis mother isn't going
to live forever," suggested Wisdom,
who wasn't pretty, anil hadn't scarcely
a tooth in her head ; "and, when
you're gone, who's to look after his
comfort, I should like to know ?"
"I don't think Dick worries," snap?
ped little widow Fisher ; "and, in?
deed, I think it rather unkind for
you to throw up such things. Dick
suits himself, I should hope, and
don't want any advisers on the sub?
ject."
So oft' went interloper, snubbed ;
and Dick, coming home, found his
little mother in tears.
"Why! what's the matter ?" hum?
med Dick, bending his great body
down, and looking up for a moment
as if he was going to pick her np and
hoist her to the ceiling, as thought?
less fathers do with their crowing
babies sometimes. Who have I got
to fight now ? Who has -been over
here troubling my little mother ? Let
me know all about it."
"O ! Dick," sobbed this undigni?
fied mother-"I-I wi-wish they'd
let us alone-I-w-wish they would
mind their own business."
"They'd better," said Dick, looking
fierce and very much like his father,
the Colonel, who did guard duty for !
two years, aud came homo to die
quietly in his own bed.
"They-they do concern them?
selves so with you-wliy can't they
let me have yon, while I can, without
hinting, everytime they COP-.O iu re,
about your marriage-and my dying
-yes-they even talk coolly of ray
dying."
"They're a set of' snakes ! ' cried
Dick with vindictive energy, and a
(meer lo->k in his eye-"they'd bet ter
not let nie hear "em, that's all. But
I wouldn't mind 'em, little motlier
mine."
"Of course itv natural that they
should set one thinking, you ku JW, "
said the little woman more composed?
ly-wiping her eyes slowly with a fia?
handkerchief ; "and it distresses and
makes me feel very miserable-for it
is only two years since your poor,
deai father died; and you know, Pick,
darling, you are all 1 have."
"I know it, mother," replied Dick,
ruefully-he always did speak rue?
fully, when his mother referred to
the Colonel ; "but isn't it most time
for dinner ? I'm confounded hun?
gry. As for your venerable adviser,
I'll settle her! I'll tell her I'm going
to open an intelligence office for
spinsters. That'll stop lier. The fact
is, little mother, they're all of 'em
envious of your good looks and your
big Dick ; that what's the matter.'
"I know it's foolish of me ;" sighed
his mother. "1 cau't uuderstaii'l
why the* thought of your marrying
makes mc so wretched. I'm afraid
you'll think me very selfish ; but il
ever you do contemplate gettiug mar?
ried-pray don't tell me of it. Fin
sure it would kill mc, for my heart is
bound up in you, my darling. Yon
see I am so all alone-if I had sisters
or brothers-or-or-a husband
which is out of tho question entirely,
dear Dick-I-"
.'Don't thiuk of the thing, mother
I shan't get married tins year 01
next -or next cither. Not but wlial
I have a little lady in my eye who re
sembles my mother, and-there
don't go to being frightened-foi
don't I declare to you that I am aol
going to marry her ? Now plea?
don't ask me any questions."
"But I will," cried the little mo
thor-"of course, if she is like me
and you like her, don't I want to likt
her too ? To be sure I do-so tel
me all about her. Is she here ?"
Dick shook his head.
"She's many a mile from here," lu
said.
"And where, pray, did you mee
with her ?"
"When I was with father in tin
army. "
"O ! Dick-it's a goue case then
you'll marry her."
"I tell you I'm not going to marr;
her-and I'm very certain I slial
never marry any other woman; s<
make your mind easy mother mino. '
"My poor darling-if she jiltei
you-I'd-I'd-"
"Horsewhip her, mother," laugh
ed Dick, quietly stowing away hi
portion of dinner. "But she didn'
jilt me. I've renison to know sh
thinks as much of me as I deserve.
"Well, but that's a queer kind o
friendship," persisted Mrs. Fisher
puzzled and annoyed. "Does sh
correspond ?"
"Why ! yes-no-that is, sonic
times," said Dick, blushing like
girl ; "once iu a very great while, yo
know, just to keep up acquaiutance
you couldn't object to that."
"O ! no-of course not," said hi
mother; "but, Dick, it's very queei
You'll tell me about her soiutime
and show me her photograph."
"Well, mother-yes, if I ever thin
of it again," r aid Dick, carelessly
"but I must I. j off to the oflice-so"
he caught the little lady round th
waist, kissed her plump on tho li[
and vanished.
She was a pretty woman, undenii
bly, that soft, shining little Mr
Fisher, and she had been kept, ?
the saying is, like a doll iu a bandbo:
all lier life. long. Consequently cai
or its shadow had not touched hi
serene brow-her hands were whi
and exquisitely shaped-her taste
dress was absolute perfection, ai
her little whims and wishes had bei
commands by those who loved h
best. People made it a matter
duty to talk about it-of course tb
did-and not always in tho sweett
way. You have heard the tone tli
some affect in gossipping about tin
neighbors.
"Chips, absolutely, iu the park
my dear, I saw them myself, and tl:
dear, darling little Fred in a tu
pinafore, and a broom in the corni
and, upon my word, the breakf;
dishes standing yet ! How in t
world they do contrive ! and she sc
etc., etc., etc., "and a great, stro
girl-such enormous wages, y
know ! I pity him, poor fellow, fr<
the bottom of my heart-brining
forever aud forever-and all goi
like water through a sieve-and I
sure I savfr in the kitchen," etc., et
etc.
Well, in this case, it was
"Pity that little Mrs. Fisher did
have more to do-lolling on sofas a
readiug all day long-keeping tl
great boy tied to her apron-string:
abominable ! Wonder what she'd
if she was left alone-better peo
than she have had t?i work for tli
living-and then to seo them make
much fuss with each other," e
etc., etc.
It Avas true-Dick did make a gr
fuss over his mother ; but I have
the course of my life, seen men
tho : ame with their wives. If
wife ought to have tho best seat
l linest outfits-tho nicest titbits-pray |
to what is thc mother entitled ? I
have seen, haven't you ? men all
honey over their wives, while their
widowed mothers might go to tho
cold stones for comfort, for all they
were regarded-or their little wishes
made a matter of care. But Dick was
not one of that kind. He loved his
mother, and, however much he might
have loved Iiis wife, that little, weak,
widowed woman would have shared
his regards equally with the stranger
who sat at his board but a few days
or weeks. 1 think he would have
done anything to save her feelings,
consequently his tenderness was al?
ways overflowing towards her, and he
covered all her faults with his great
love and wisdom.
Poor little Mrs. Fisher was puzzled,
and moved about her pretty rooms
uneasily.- She was tempted to do a
terrible thing, and tho temptation as?
sailed her in numberless forms. Here
was Dick's desk conveniently open
the careless fellow never locked up
things. There hung his coats-a for?
midable array-and he sp often put
letters and money in loose. Indeed,
the washerwoman came one day with
a woe-begone face, and a crushed,
discolored mass in her hand.
"And her Pat said it was money,
sure," said the good woman with i
glorious brogue, "but how was any?
body to know it, in that shape ? hai?
ring that it was in Mr. Dick's Mar
shales vest, and she never sot eyes or
it till sho came to turn the pocket!
inside out. "
Dick thought, and rememberer
that ho did put a ten dollar bill, am
a live dollar bill, and several littli
bills into that vest pocket one day
and forg?t all about it.
"There !" cried tho excited washer
woman, "and if I'd found the moue;
whole ye'd never been nomi th
wiser."
So-should she explore Dick"
I pockets ? Should she overhaul Dick'
correspondence ? Should she mah
I herself unhappy, miserable, guilty
for tho sake of gratifying a foolisl
curiosity ?
She hovered uneasily about des
and drawers, like the moth fluttering
in the charmed light of a candle
flame-nearer and nearer-till aeti:
ally in her hand rested a small pack
ago of letter';. None of them, how
ever, were written in a feminin
hand-but peppered with blots au
exclamation points and expletives
drove all thought of perusal from lu
mind. Another package-her ow
missives, neatly tied with blue ribboi
and fondly labelled,
"Mother's dear letters."
The tears came to her eyes as sb
gazed. The threw them hastily dowi
and was about turning away, whe
her attention was arrested by a letti
partly burned, the very delicate cali<
graphy of which drove her new-flet
ged penitence away at once. Si

opened it. Tho letter was readab
only in the body of it, date and si;
nature being gone. Of course, it wi

"(?o?d heavens !" cried Mrs Fish
aghast-"shirts and socks ! Why

that style-oh ! can my bi y have ?
ceived me ?"
Thc poor little woman was nea
worried out of her wits. Of cour
she did not dare to question him,
hint that she had so much aa
thought of his correspondence.
The next day Dick breakfas
alone. His mother was ill, the ni
said, with a bad headache. At c
ner-time he came home on her
count. She was not visible.
"By Jove ! but I'm going to
her, anyhow," he said, and pus]
the girl who barred his entra
aside.
Once within, and poor Dick
frightened. His mother laid ii]
her bcd, the ruffles round her i
scarcely whiter than her wau che?
Dick had never seen his mothei
caps before, and the powder lavis
laid on, gave her an appears
deathly in the extreme.
"Why, mother, darling, are yoi
very sick ?" he exclaimed, instar
accents.
"Ah ! Dick," she cried fair
"you have brought me to this. A
didn't you tell me you were"
gasped the word-"married."
Dick staggered back, nearly as
os she was.
"You-you don't-why -how -
did you ever know it? I never to
i "O ! Dick, Dick," wailed his
happy mother.
I "But then you begged mo no

"O ! Dick, Dick, I know it
kill me. You have given your mc
her death-blow," sho wailed.
"Then I'll go and blow my b
out," cried Dick, impetuously.
"How long, Dick-tell nie kow
long?" moaned the widow.
"A year-since I must make a clean
breast of it," replied Dick.
'?Yes, mother-a year I have tried
to live without her, not seeing the
first opportunity to break it to you.
I'm such a coward-and I-I was
afraid of this."
"O ! Dick, and didn't / send you
shirts and stockings enough when
you were in the army ?"
"Shirts!" muttered Dick-"stock?
ings!"
"Yes, she said so."
"She-has she been here?" A sud?
den light broke over his face.
"No-but her let-there, Dick, I
was foolish enough to read her let?
ter-thar burned one. you know. I
happened to see it in your desk, aud
so"
Here she was interrupted by a
hearty peal of laughter from Dick.
Another and another burst upon her I
bewildered senses.
' Poor Kate Long's letter"-at last
Dick found breath to say-"oh! mo?
ther, that's too good! Poor Dick,
though!" and his voice grew pathetic.
"Don't you remember, mother, I
wrote you about Dick Long, of the
twenty-sixth? How he went through
(ughteen buttles without a scar, and
died of last of fever in the hospital ?
Well, I took possession of his effects,
poor fellow, and ?turned all his hit?
ters to his sister but that oue, which
someway got loose. Ile burned it,
by accident, one day. Poor Dick
poor Kate! so you thought," and he
laughed again till his mother had
nearly joined him froui sympathy.
"Why, mother, it was in that hos?
pital I first saw my little Mary, and
it was there we were privately mar?
ried by a friend of mine. It was all
done and over so quietly-that Mary,
not being of age, and I fearing for
the consequences on your poor little
tender heart, agreed to keep it still
for a year or more, and you see we
have. Don't you know you have
counselled me, yourself, not to tell
you when 1 was going to marry? and
I didn't. Now, come-it's all over,
and I've the dearest little daughter
for you you ever laid eyes on. Her
father is dead ; she is with an aunt,
and dependent. Shall she come
home ?"
"Dick ! isn't she your wife ?" cried
Iiis mother, indignantly. "T should
like to know where she's to go if not
to her husband ?"
. 'Bravo !" cried Dick, gathering
her up in his arms like a bundle.
"You're the cleverest and best little
mother in the world, and I love you
better than ever."
"Not better than her, though,"
said his mother, in a lachrymose
tone.
"Differently, darling, but just as
well-I sw"-his mother's little hana
was on his lips, for she never counte?
nanced profanity. "You are better
now ?" he asked a moment after.
"Well, I-I can't say I'm worse,"
said Mrs. Fisher, sitting up erect,
with eyes shining., "Now go and
bring your wife home, right away.
To tell you the truth," and she
laughed a little hysterically, "I guess
I've been afraid all along that you'd
never get married, and then, if I
should-should die"
"That'll do, little mother ;" and
big Dick kissed the obnoxious words
from her lips, and went off the hap?
piest man alive. So little Mrs. Fisher
has got something to pet-a pretty
daughter, and the prettiest baby
there is in the whole count,). That
is, she says so.
As for Dick, whenever his mother
talks of old times, he laughs and de?
clares that "he didn't ti ll."
THE FASHIONABLE SEASON IN NF.W
YORK.-Fashion is now, even thus
early in t!ie season, at its full height
in New York. The receptions are
daily, and of the most brilliant order,
and the balls are nightly. The upper
part of the city is thus kept about as
noisy, from 10 or ll o'clock at night
to 2 or 3 a. m., as it is in the day time.
Weddings, too, are numerous, and in
front of the churches, on or about
Fifth Avenue, almost every day can hjj
seen crowds of carriages that brought
brides and bridegrooms, bridesmaids,
Ac, to the altar. There is one new
rising fashion, however, particularly
damaging to the. old folks, and that
is, exclusive young ladies' parties,
(with young gentlemen, of course,)
from which all married people are
kept out, aud where the old folks are
kept under the ban. Such parties as
these occur every night, and in our
own great city we hear of, and see,
young ladies, almost unattended,
going home from "the German," from
1 to 3 a. m.
If fashion thus riots and rollies so
early in the season, before the Christ?
mas holidays eveu, what will come
by and by, in January and February,
say? The drosses, wo may even add,
are without regard to cost, and the
jewelry and laces on many a lady
would pay well for robbing them,
though we do not say this to suggest
the idea to the robbers, but to put
the police on guard.
