MISOBT ?Ti A BT Y Son^ o' tI>c InTaI1(t How long the winter lasts, mother; I wish the spring would come; I want to eeo thc flowers bloom Around our cottage home. I've tried to bear tins pain, mother, To suffer and bc strongs But allin rain I feel it now, I cannot stay lu re long. 1 wish that i could live, mother, Till spring time sunny hours ; . I wish that 1 might pass away Amid thc wild Wood flowers. Fomow the snow is on the ground, The cold winds wildly moan, The very light looks sad to me That warms thc hearth of home. I gaze out on thc leafless trees, I watch their branches wave; Fd like to sec them bloom before They lay me in the grave. I long to see the meadows green, And buds begin to swell; I sometimes think the warm bright days Would cheer aud make mc well. But FU not muru.ur now, mother, I know these thoughts aro vain: I'll never see the waving corn Or hill-topa green again. Yet I shall ga? i on brighter scenes When they lay me down to r?-?i, For I shall view unblinded then Tho mansions of tho blest. A On??GOT*W POISON, In a small but populous town to wards tho West of England, tiler? occurred, sor?o few years ago, i tragical event so mysterious yet ful of suspicon iu its details as to riva any fiction put forth by a writer o romance, and by which the publi< curiosity was intensely excited, was at ono time intimate with tin family, and obtained in writing fron a member of it, the particulars whicl I now give you. It is very painful to me to write it (ao hegan Miss Halli well's letter,) bu you ku cw my dear sister before yoi left Tiome for India, and arc naturall; anxious about her fate. I need ito tell you that we two cider ones, lam Lucy, have prospered in thc schoc we established in London. Marj who was" much younger than wc were married Dr. Goring, and they wer prosperous too-as we always though -and happy in each other. Sh went with him to his home iu Middle bury, which was an easy day1 journey from Loudon, where ho ha a largo aud successful practice, piece of good fortune happened t Mary after her marriage; her got mother left her an annuity of ?31)0 year, which was to relapse back : her death. Dr. Goring was a pleasant, genth man-liko man, generous and affable and a favorite with all, especially tl: ladies-to whom I used to think 1: was rather too fond of talking noi sense, hut he* was a kind, aflectionai husband to Mary. I did not ofte go to see them-once every three < four summers. They had been married about si: teen years, (it seemed nothing t look back to!) when Mary had dangerous illness; and as it was ol Ljid-summcr holidays and leisui time with me, I went down toMiddl bury. They had then six chihlrei (without counting the infaut wh had just died)-Mary, the eldest, gentle, good girl of fifteen, just hi her mother. I found my sister i indeed, and for the first fortnight did little "but watch by her bedsid Now I am apt to take likes ar dislikes, when I meet with strange for the first time. People say it prejudice-so I suppose it is;but it a prejudice sometimes for and som times against. And I may mentio in defence of this "prejudice (which I can no more keep from n than I can keep the sun from shinii on my house,) that I never y found the instinct to mislead m There was a governess when I we down to Dr. Goring's this time, Miss Howard. Sufficiently we looking she was, with a colorless fa and a very subdued tone and mann of speaking-so remarkably gentle to impart the idea (to me at least) th it was more assumed than genuir I took a strange antipathy to tl lady when I first saw her, thou she appeared willing to be on frienc terms with me; that instincti power within me never warned i more strongly against any one. S was about five-and-thirty, but s dressed herself to look younger. I sat one afternoon in my siste room, thinking over the observatic I had made during my fortnigli stay. I did not like them all. I 8 my relatives were living at a high r; of extravagance, and which no Come snch as theirs could possi1 justify;, and I felt sure that ti governess was scheming to attr Matthew Goring towards her. 1 upon the slightest inducement, i ever ready to flirt; and Middleb knew it. "What made yon think of takin governess in the house, Mary?" suddenly asked, h-tting my wc which was a new nightcap for one the children, drop .'u my lap. "We did it by way of eco nom was Mrs. Goring's reply. "The girls' school bills were frightfi heavy, and little Jane is coming now." ' I would have retrenched h< expenses. Mary, and have kept children at school," 1 returi "Your rate of living is enormoi extravagant." "lt really is. Dut we have sn how got into tliia style ofhouse-k ing, and Matthew would not lilt retrench. I fear, though ho will acknowledge: it to me, that we living beyond our income. An Iliad died during this illness, as too likely at one period of it, . annuity would have been lost to him." "300 a year is a heavj sum to lose in a family," I remarked. "It is not so much as that," si e quickly replied. VThe insurance takes up-I- forget exactly what, but I think more than a hundred of it." "What insurance ?" I said. "I insured my life some years ago. Did I never tell you of it? I should think I did." Dut she had not. I never hctrd ol' it till then. "lt was after a ^e-ry bad confine? ment, when Jane was born," my sister went on. "They thought then that I should lose mv life, and so did I.think it. And-whilst I lay j here, getting better, it occurred to ?al? that though I could not continue the annuity to my children, I might insure my life with part of it, and thus secure them something. So I insured it for ?3,000." "I am very glad to hear it," 1 I said. "Your husband ought to in? sure his.*' j "He has often talked of it, but ha? j never been able td spare the mouey. I We live quite up to our income. Hester-or beyond it.". "Which is tho height of impru dence. Suppose you were both suppose unythin r. were to happeu tc you both, there would be absolute!; uothiug for the children but ?3,000.' "Nothing. Except tho. furnituri and anv book debts." "Six" children, aud ouly ?3,000,' I mused, "whatever would be come of them?" And I put on nr considering-cap again, and began ti work out an idea which had beei haunting me sor some days. "Mary,* I said, after a while, "suppose I rc ? lieve you of ono ot' the girls, Mary j if you can sparc her, and take her t< Loudon with me, and liuish her edu cation, free of expense to you? Coull you not put the other two to school discharge the governess, and retron? your home expenses? You migh i retrench them, it seems, by one-hall anel yet live in suiliciont style." "I am quite willing to retrench : you can bring Matthew into th mind," said Mrs. Goring. "But d you believe it would be more ecoiu i my to place even two children i school, than to keep a governess?"' "Yes, I do," was my decided ai swer. "If I am to help in this ma ter at all, Mary, Miss Howard mu: leave. "' I suppose I spoke too pointed!; aud so overshot my mark, for m sister lookcVl at me, and a warm Una came into her face. "Hester! do you not like Mi: Howard?" "She may bo a good instructress, I coldly answered, "but, iu my op nion, is not altogether a desirab person to retain iu your house, tl guide and companion of Mary." "I see what you think," cried ir sister, nervously throwing one ar out of bed-"you thiuk she is t( familiar with my husband?" "Her manners are certainly n what I approve," I observed. "Dut you know that Matthew tall anel laughs with every one," aga said Mrs. Goring. "And son young women are so vain as to mi take that for pointed attentions." . "There's not much harm iu laug iug anel talking, when it's coufim to that," I growled, feeliug ang with Matthew iu my heart; "but! children's goveruess should be ? exceptiem, even from this." "So I told him," said my siste "for I did remonstrate with him o; day about it. In the drawing-rooi in my presence, he will pay her mo attention than he does me; at t dinner table the same. Once, coming home late at night, he ga; her his arm, and left me to walk wi Mary; anel he seems to talk to b about all sorts of confidential thinj often in a whisper-family mattel money matters, which ought to conversed on only with me. 11 lieve, too, they go out walking 1 gether, or, rather join each otl when they get . outside the tow which is very bad on Miss Howan part. But it is not so much the br fact of all this I dislike, as-" "As what?" I asked, fiuding Mt hesitate.. "Their manners to each othei though I scarcely know how to < press what I meau. They are mi considerate, more tender, implyii seemingly, a mental understaneli between themselves and against r But I must do my husband the j tice to say that I believe he ne would have thought of all this 1 for her first advances to him. I ? them, quiet anel covert as they wer "And. seeing this, noting this, ; have kept that woman in y house?" 1 uttered. "Hester, at times I have been the very point of discharging 1 but then the thought lias occurree me>, that it may be all nothing, t Matthew's attractive manners maj alone in fault, and that I might depriving the cb'"ben of a good strnctress, through an absurd, j ons chimera. When I sin)];.' to "? thew, as 1 told you, ho univ lang at me, and wondered how 1 coule HO very ridiculous. So I drop the subjet ', thinking I was, perin ridiculous. But has the idea str you. Hester, during your short s that there ;s too goodall underst; ing between her and my husband "Oh, I don't say so far as that evasively replied, for I saw she more alive to the affair than I suspected. "Your husband's n ners are very free, though they g rally meau nothing.'" "If I thought there -was anything wrong between them," murmured my poor sister-"I do not mean real? ly wrong," she added, interrupting herself, "of courre I do not, and could not, suspect that; but if I thought there was any positive at? tachment, that he loved her-as he once loved me, I think it would kill me. I have lain here, when I was at the worst, conjuring up a picture myself gone and forgotten, and she the second mother of my children." "Now, Mary, you are going from one extreme to the other," I remon? strated. But what more I would have said was interrupted by tho en? trance of thc sick nurse. Mrs. Gill, who came to take my place, and I went down stan's to find my brother in-law. I had heard him come in uot Long before, and supposed I should find him in the surgery. This surgery had two entrances to it-ono leading from thc passage just past thc door of the dining parlor, the oilier from the garden at the back of the house. Thc passage door, by which 1 was about to enter, was pushed to, but not closed, and as I was going to push it open, I heard the voice ol Miss Howard inside. I have, all my life, endeavored to bc honorable in my actions, and I hope I have shun? ned everything mean; but I thought it my duty to listen then. "? shall soon become a chemist, ii you bestow these pains upon me,' she was saying, with her soft, " isinu ating accent, falseas she wai. "And what is this?" "Oh, that's very common-place arti ele,*' responded tho merry voice of 1113 brother-in-law-"that's castor oil." "Oh dear! And this next?" "That's more common still. It i? distilled water."' I "That little bottle, up there, la I holed 'poison'-it is always by itscl in that same place, I observe-is i I prussic acid?" "No; but a poison quite as deadly It isa preparation of strychnia."' "How is it administered?" "A very minute portion in wak would destroy lif.>. Shall I try i upon yours?'' " \Vbulcl you?" she murmured, witl an affectation of submissive tendel noss. "I will give you leave to d so. it" you wish." . "My darling girl," he replied, "yo know I would rather try it upon nv own." Then came a silence, ami 1 pushe open thc door; but may I never spca truth again, if I did not first hear sound like a kiss. Matthew (lorin had got her hand in his, and wc whispering, as . ' e stood there, pa; sively, her hand passively restin there, her countenance and her eye ernst down in a passive attitude of li.? teniug. It was evident that, if he wi ready to court, she was more tha willing to be courted. On his side I believe so, even now-it was prob; bly only the passing amusement of a idle moment; her conduct wore a aspect far deeper and more rcprehei siblo. I have asked myseli, sinci whether I was blinded by projudit in thus judging her to be worse tha he, and I cannot bring myself to thiu so. What business had she out ( her own proper place, tho school < drawing-room? What business ha she to go hunting, to his profession; apartments, after him, with her wicl ed excuse of wanting to learn cb mistry, and ber soft voice, subdue to child-like innocence? I think we all looked rather foolisl The governess drew her hand awa; and was the first to break the silenc which she did with tho utmost equ nimity. "Dr. Ooring is willing to give n a little insight into the matter 1 drugs and chemistry," she begai "so I endeavor, in my few leisu: moments, to profit by his kindnes A woman, as instructress of youl! cannot know too much; do you thir she can, Miss Halliwell?" "I think a woman may acquire f insight into things entirely unfittc for her, unless she takes care wh she is abou t, " I answered, quite s vagely. "A knowledge of drugs not necessary for the instruction Dr. Goring's daughters." She said no more to me, but tnrni away and thanked him in a mode: retiring tone, perfectly charming any one who had not seen her wi her hand lying in his, and heard 1 kiss upon her lips. "Matthew," 1 sharply said, for felt terribly cross, "all this must put an end to." "What must bo put an end to?" inquired, busying himself with 1 tubes and chemical glasses, the us of which he had no doubt been c plaining to her, and whistling wi unconcern. "More things than one," 1 fl swercd. "This familiarity with ye daughters' governess is growing 1 youd a joke, and-" "You surely do not look upon tl nonsense as serious?" he interrupt? holding a glass cylinder between ! eye and the light, to see that it \ clean. "I don't know what you cali ' rions,'" I indignantly said. "Ihe? you kiss her." "Now, Hester," he remonstrat laughing provokingly all the wh "you have not lived to these ye? without knowing that wc men likt snatch a kiss from a pretty girl, 1 der the rose." "Girl! pretty!" I ejaculated; "si not much of either." "An attractive woman, then. H yon snap one np, Hester. And disloyalty to our wives, either." "Your behavior to Miss Howard, and especially hers to you, is unbe? coming in itself and a disgrace to both of you when carried on in the sight of your wife and daughters," I persisted. "I sa}- nothing of my sister; that she feels this deeply, I have discovered to-day, but her re? tiring, generous disposition induces her to bear in silence what few wives would do. But your daughter! Mary is of an age to Ree and understand | these things. Miss Howard must I leave." "I'm sure I don't care whether she. leaves or not," responded the gentle? man, with thc most apparent uncon? cern. "But who tho deuce is to take caro of the children il' you send her away, and "Mary ill in bed?" "That is quite a secondary consi? deration," 1 remarked; "have I your permission to discharge Miss How? ard V "Well, I don't know. It will look absurdly strange; and so unnecessary. You do her great injustice, Hostel-, and me, too, if you think tbore's any? thing wrong. What do you suppose I care for Miss Howard?" "That you 'cart;' for her to any ex? tent I do not fear," I replied; "for when a woman, be she young or get? ting on in life, so far forgets herself as to step between man and wife-to endeavor to worm herself clandes? tinely into his affections-all respect for that woman leaves his mind; and though he may frequent her society for thc amusement of the hour, that" woman has lost for him her greatest charm." "Egad, you are right there. Hes? ter," cried ])r. Goring. "When a single woman lapsos into a flirtation with a married man. and takes pains to conceal it from the world and the wife, Ave set her down as a silly fool, who might become something worse if she were tempted." "Just so. They suit you for amuse? ment, but they are not such as you l would place in your home and at your hearth. Many a married man has his 'amusement1 in this way, and will have it, I suppose; but whoo vcr is placed about your wife and chil? dren, be it friend, governess or ser- j vant, should be4madc an exception to j your rule of admiration." "1 declare I don't much admin; Miss Howard," he laughed; "1 think i the admiration is mostly on her side." ? "1 think it is." I answered, dryly; j "and that ought to have rendered j it tho more encumbent on you '. J dis? courage it." Was his indifference put on? I have often wondered since. "Aud now to something else that must be put a stop to," I continued. "I told you, Matthew, there were more things than one." "To my chemical experiments?" he asked, by way of mocking me. "To your house extravagance. Mary says you are putting by nothing out of your income." "Putting by! I should think not. The boot's ou the other leg." "Yet you must be in the receipt of ?800 or ?U00 a year. " "Not much less, with Mary's mo? ney; but look at the expenses, Hes? ter-the servants, thc horses, the carriage, the visiting., the children. Matthew's school bill, for last year, was ?80." "You might live upon ?500, and put by the rest. You ought to do it." "We 'might' livo upon two hun? dred, I suppose, if we were driven to it. But I must keep up my position in tho town, and that cannot be done i with less than I spend." "Yes it can," I earnestly added. "You do not need the carriage, you do not need so many servants, and you do not need to give your extra? vagant dinner and evening parties. I am going to run away with Mary, and see what sort of a woman I can turn her out. I will promise 3-ou that she shall not be a second Miss Howard. ! The other two girls you can put to school. If I were mistress here, Matthew, I kuow I could diminish your expenses one-half, and only lop off superfluities-uo comforts, no essentials." "I wish to goodness you could, thcD," he said, with a good-humored, but incredulous, curl 011 his lip. "Our bills aie confoundedly heavy, and I don't always know whero to pick up the money to meet them." He put on his hat as he spoke, for he had to attend a consultation; but I stopped him to say that I should at once discharge Miss Howard. "Well, if it must be so, it must," was his reply, standing still and look? ing at me. "But you cannot turn her out of the house as you would a dog-you don't mean that. She must have a mouth's notice." "If she insists upon it," I grum? bled to myself, as I went to look for the governess. But I felt that any woman, with a spark of delicacy, would prefer to leave at once, under the circumstances. [CONTINUED IN OUE NEXT."] Sausage Cutters and Stutters. | At ll,,- Shn< of (!"'

Dec 20 The (ircat American Blood Purifier ! g , THE QUEEN'S DELIMIT ! mHE QUEEN'S DELIGHT, thc great .L American Alterative and Blood I'uri fier, ia the mont perfect vegetable com? pound of alterativos, tunics, diuretics ?nd diaphoretics; making it tho most effective invigorating, rejuvenating and blood cleansing cordial known to tho world. in introducing this new and extraordi? nary medicine to tin; public, observation leads us to remark that too little attention is paid to the "lifo Of all flesh," the blood. Many diseases, and, too, many complaints, which have their origin in a vitiated state of tin: blood, arc treated only as symptoms and results; whereas, if the remedy had been applied to enrich tho blood and ren? der it pure, both cans*; and effect would have been removed. Tho Queen's Delight ts offered to the afflicted as a sure remedy for those diseases arising from an impure condition of thc blood, lt has a direct and specific action upon that fluid, and consequently renders the blood pure. It Ls said, on high authority, t hat "man no sooner begins to liv..' than he begins to die, and that tho characteristics of tho living organism ure ceaseless change and ceaseless waste." lt is obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that unless the blood is pure, in supplying the waste tis? sues with material, it must be thc cause ot" innumerable ills ami constitutional disor? ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He? patic Disorder, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, Ac. Life and health is only to be maintained by the circulation of pure arterial blood. We therefore advise every ona whose blood ?3 in thc least vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whose constitution is im? paired by disease and is butlering from Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Consump? tion, .Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles, Boils, Itching Humor of the Skin, Erysi? pelas, Skin Diseases, Tetter, Roughness of tho Skin, Pimples, Blotches, Pains in the Bones, ?dd Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilictie Sores, Indigestion, Inflammation ol' tho Bladder and Kidneys, Pains in the Back, General Debility, and for all complaints arising from deficiency and poverty of blood, to use the Queen's Delight. Females of delicate constitution, suffer? ing from weakness and depression ot mind in consequence of those complaints which nature imposes at the period of change, have a pleasant and sure remedy in tho Queen's Delight. Children whose fair and rudd-" complex? ion gare early promise of health ami beauty, but too soon become blanched and pale by some hereditary taint of the blood, wdl have the rich boon restored by using the Queen's Delight. Thc uuacclimated amt persons traveling into warm count rles will lind thc Queen's Delight a great protection from all malari? ous affection and diseases which originate in a change of climate, diet and life. Thc extraordinary and unprecedented cures performed by thc Queen's Delight Compound is attracting the attention of every ono, not only at home, but abroad. The merits of this compound arc being felt and appreciated everywhere. Hear what they say of it in Now lork: "It is a remedy of much importance and value, exerting an influence over all the secre? tions which is unsurpassed by any other known alterative. It is extensively used in all tho various forms of primary and secondary syphilitic affections; also, in scrofulous, hepatic and cutaneous diseases, in which its use is followed by the most successful result-s." Its properties as a remedy were first in? troduced to the notice of the profession by Dr. Titos. Young Simons, of South Carolina, as early as 1S2K. as a valuable alterative re? medy iii syphilitic-iHcctions, and othersre quiring use of mercury. Dr. Simons'state? ments have been endorsed and extended by Dr. A. Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. IL li. Frost, of Charleston. From the reports in ita favor, there seems no reason to donbt th? efficacy of this medicine in Secondary Syphilis, Scrofula, Cutaneous Diseases, Chronic Hepatic Affections and other com? plainte benefited by alterative medicines.
