O? My B?rtta-day. ~~ BY niCJIlKD HENRY WILDE. Another of my wasted yeats h aa gone, And brought me nearer nothing but tho gr?re; . And thu? they wax and wane, and one by one. Leave as they found me-melancholy slave) Each ?tampa it wrinkle? deeper on my brow Each abed a ita Croat upon my scattered hair; And tko? 3 who knew mo onoo, and see me now. Speak of me aa among "the things that tfere." rve watched, through night, till dawn; the lingering sun It in mi fortieth ann-at lnncth appears. And oooms to question me-"What haat thou dose Through this long waate ot miserable years? "'Ere hi? eighth lustre, gallant Surrey died, But, dying, left behind a deathless name; And bast thou, then, no honorable pride No noble aspiration after fame? "Horace and Virgil, Cocear, Scipio lit With glory, ere thy years, their sword or E?'n wX thou liv'dst, Napoleon, Byron writ Their brief and burning annalu on tho age! "And thon!"-Enough! I know it all-'tis truel Wasting my head and hoart on love or Rhyme; While the irrevocable momenta flew, I perished, and bequeathed no name to Time! [Original. OB THE FORTUNES OF JULIET CLAYBURN -o A Tal? of Ute Palmetto State. CONTINUED. .'Fm rather sorry for her," deolarecl I Jcliet. "I cannot bear to seo a woman f get the worst of an argument." "What business has she to argue?" asked Earl, excitedly. "Let her keep to her legitimate sphere. There are enough men in the world to argue about its af? fairs." "Fray, tell me what is woman's legiti? mate sphere, Karl? If she can't argue, -what can she do?" "Shecan lore," replied Karl, solemnly. "The legitimate sphere of woman is love. To be loved and to breathe forth in re? turn, tiie gentle dew, the wild fragrance, the sweetness of her own affection, is the nighest province which a woman can oc? cupy. To be yielding and yet strong; to be the ministering angel of a man's home; bis soothing comforter in afflic? tion; his loving companion in happiness; his sympathizing, never-failing friend always. To be, in short, what yon are i to me, Liebehen-a guiding star to the man who loves her; leading his ambition and his aspirations forward and still for? ward, upward and ever upward, to all that is noble, worthy, pure and high! This is the true sphere of woman. Let her stick to it and her power is omnipo? tent-let her leave it, and she becomes powerless. Her influence is not the in? fluence of force; it is an influence more potent still-the sway, the irresistible voice of persuasion. Her dominion is not in the intellect or the reason of man, but in his heart. She must rule the world, reign over thc kingdoms of the earth and sway the destinies of nations, not through tue majesty of might, but the majesty of love. Around that cen? tral organ, whence emanate the warm pulsations, the functions, tho motive power of life, she must weave an intri? cate mesh-work of tenderness, imper? ceptible in its binding, and yet impene? trable as adamant; impalpable in form, invisible to the sight, unseen in its op?? rations, and yet moro powerful than might, more mighty than power-more invincible than force, and moro durable than the everlasting mountains!" The brilliant hours wero over, the last gnest had departed, and the household at Mrs. Thnrlow's, weary-worn and sleepy, repaired to their various places of rest. Cornelia was talkative as usual, dilating with voluminous exactness on every individual incident and all the minuto details of tho evening's enjoy? ment; but the heroine of the day, worn out with excitement and languid with fatigue, Hilently and with a secret feeling of disgust, threw aside tho rich vesture which had been donned but a few hours before with so muoh prido and pleasure. Who has not experienced this reaction of the spirits, after a night spent in revelry and dissipation? Juliet ap? proached to put out the light,but Corne? lia stopped her. "Serenaders," she whispered, mysteri? ously; "I hear their footsteps and tho tuning of tho instruments." Cornelia was right. The band played several tunes, and then there was some fine singing in chorus. "Harry Babbitt is there, beyond tho shadow of a doubt," remarked Corne? lia. "I hear his thundering boss voice above every thing. He must think you sleep as soundly as a plowman or a ditch digger." Juliet was lying on the bed, and made no reply. "Mr. Von Oppenheim is there, too," continned the loquacious Cornelia, carry? ing on a regular reoonnoissanee through the blinds. "I see him leaning against the tree and I hear bis voice. What a orowd! I believe all the young men are present. Come here, Juliet; it is a splendid place to see and hear every? thing." Bnt Juliet was-not snoring-but fast GHAVTER XV-CHHISTMAS. Professor Von Oppenheim wrote to Mrs. Thurlow that he wonld come over earlier than usual for Christmas, as he had not finished with those works in the college library. Perhaps he might even be able to stay a fortnight or more, as it was a matter of so muoh importance to him. "Howdelightful!" exolaimedCornelia; "last year he conldu'toven spare n week for Christmas holidays, and I suppose he in tonde to make amends for it BOW." The Sabbath morning preceding Christ? mas day, Juliet, ready equipped for church, went into the drawing-room to Kel hur prayer-book irom the table. Karl was lying on tho sofa, reading. At the noiuo of tho rustling silk, ho nover --?--?I I I I moved, never eren looked np, for he imagined the intruder woe Cornelia. He bad long sin oe discovered it was useless to hope for a private moment with his Liebchen, when Miss Thurlow was about the premises. Hot finding her book in its proper placo, Juliet perceived that Karl held it in his hand; so, approaching the sofa, she said: "It is time for church, Karl." There was something in the magical voice which so electrified Karl, he bound? ed from the sofa with the energy of an Arabian courser. "Church*? Well, I'm ready na soon as I find my hat." But he never pretended to search for it. There waa certainly a magnet iu Juliet's liquid eyes-his glance sought hers-or perhaps Karl thought his chapeau was hid somewhere down in their lustrous, azure depths. Mrs. Thurlow called impatiently from the frontdoor: "Juliet! Cornelia! Karl! Rudolph! come on, all of you. Wo will be late, for the bell is ringing, and I beliovo it ia tho last," Mrs. Thurlow's elegant equipage was standing at tho door, the fiery horses, with distended nostrils, foaming at the mouth and pawing tho ground, in their restivo impatience. "Rudolph, you will have to walk," said his grand-mothor, "or tako a seat with the driver." "Ho can have my place inside," said Karl; "it is such a flue, bracing day, I believe I'd prefer walking myself." "Are you going to walk, also, Juliet?" and Rudolph, actuated by some special powers of divination, jumped in the carriage and adroitly, slammed the door. "Let me out, too!" cried Cornelia, petulantly. But the horses dashed forward nt a terrific speed, which promised speedy destruction, not only to the vehicle, but its frightened inmates. "The door! the door! open the door, Rudolph!" Mrs. Thurlow cried in accents of terror. "No, aunt," remonstrated Cornelia, catching Rudolph's hand; "father says the best thing is to sit still-never jump out; and don't you see the horses are getting quiet?" "Don't be oneasy, M?SSUB," oalled the negro driver; "it is only the cold air and a keepin of 'em standin and awaitin so long." Rudolph, at least, among the party, did not altogether appreciate the force of these sound and logical arguments, hav? ing witnessed the private signals Daddy Sancho had received from a certain quarter to use tho lash freely. "This ia Heaven 1" said Karl, when thc carriage was out of sight, which was nol many minutes, you may be sure, at thc rate they started. Karl continued: "That boy Rudolph is 'a gem of pnresl ray serene.' I heard him wish yester day, for that horse Tom Bailey hos foi sale, and I'll buy it for the lad, if it take: the last cent I havo on the face of th? earth." This speech was greeted by ono of Ju liefs low, merry laughs. "Is this your boasted economy, Karl' Let his grand-mother buy tho borso fo: him-she is better able to do it thai you." "Sosho is," said Karl; "but her buy? ing it, will bo no evidence of my grate ful appreciation of this glorious niorninj walk." He prolonged tho walk as much as h< darod, going through by-streets, tin most round-about way imaginable. VVhei they woro almost at the church, Julie looked down and said timidly "Karl, I havo a great favor to asl you." "Well, what is it?" ho replied. "Any thing, even to my lifo." "It is not yon r life, "said his betrothed "Do you think I could ask auythiug s suicidal? Am I yet. ready to die myself But this request, Karl, is something H repugnant to you-something you dislik so much -I fear it will make you frow at mo." "Could I frown at my littlo Julie? asked Karl, and a radiant expressioi like tho up-blazing of a meteor, flushc across his face. "This matter was forced upon me, continued Juliet, in a deprecatory toni "It is intensely disagreeable to make request, which I know is disagroeablo t you-but Cornelia positively refused 1 again nudertake a thing in whioh si: hos failed so often, and then, tho chu said, I must ask for them." "I know what it is," remarked Kai "thoy want me to play the organ c Christmas day." "Yes-that is it;" and Juliet lookc up with a wistful, pleading expressioi as if to avert the vials of wrath whk were to be deluged over her head. "The dear little scared thing!" sa Karl, reading her face and greatly amii ed at its deprecatory expression. "D you expect me to get augry with yo Julie? How littlo you know me-if ye did!" "Not angry. Karl, but only a little pr voked, that I should make a reqne whose performance is disagreeable you." "It is disagreeable, I confess," beg? Karl. Juliet interrupted him. "Why do you object to playing public, Karl? You, who play so well, cannot assign a reason for it." "It is n real silly pieoo of business answered Karl, "and unworthy a man sense, but you know tho sort of odin which attaches, in this country, to a m who is a musician. It is consider something derogatory to the dignity o gentleman. Before I ever came to Are rica, I was advised by a friend, who h passed many years in the United Stat? to keep my musical proficiency entire in the hack-ground, for that it was t prevailing opinion in this country, arno all classes, that a man who could play tho piano-forte, or strum on the guiti was utterly unlit for anything in tho < di n a ry affairs of lite. Musical abili: they consider, argues tho possession faoultiee ineotnpatlble with those on er? go tio qualitics of ptind which o paoitate a man to battle bravely and suooeeafully with the stern realities mod trials of life. " * "I tbink I hsd a similar notion on the subject once, myself," Juliet smilingly acknowledged; "bat I am now convinced of ita fallacy. Yon are an eminent ex? ample of the contrary doctrino, and, hereafter, I will never believe again that I a talent for musio and the attributes of common sense is an impossible combina? tion. Aunt says. Karl, the reason she admires you so much is, not merely on i account of tho high character and repu? tation for learning which you have estab? lished, but for your early struggles in lifo-voor oonrage under difficulties your 'brave and unfaltering determina? tion to carvo out a name and a position for yourself. She says you deservo to be happy, and to enjoy lifo now, to repay you for your years of toil and study iu tho past." "My happiness, at this moment, Ju? lie," roplied Karl, with iU-coucealed emotion; "tho happiness to which I look forward when you oro my wifo, tho sun? beam on roy hearth-stone, fully-more than fully-repays mo for all." "You play a great deal at tho univer? sity; do not you?" inquired Juliet, after musing for sumo time. "Yes-a grout deal. Your aunt gavo mc tho piano I now have, and I often practico un tho organ in tho chapel, too. You may consider it settled, Julio, that I will officiate on the organ, Christmas day." "Do not hesitato to refuse, because tho request comes through me," said Juliet. "If you dislike it eo greatly, I would rather you would not; though, for my part, I am very proud you possess such au elegant accomplishment." "I have decided to perform," answered Karl. "I suppose thero will bo a graud display. Mademoiselle told mo they wore practicing a selection from Beet? hoven." "Oh, yes! it is magnificent!" said Ju? liet, enthusiastically; "and, now that you will be so kind ns to play fer us, everything will be splendid. Don't for? get to bring in that exquisite melody from Mozart, you played at St. Agatha's. It is tho sweetest thing! And, Karl" hero Juliet enhanced the interest of her conversation by one of thoso swe?.t blushos described by Mr. Lylo, in a former chapter-"perhaps you do not know I'm to be a member of the choir for Christmas day; and Cornelia, who doesn't sing, will sit, as usual, in tho pow." "I declare," affirmed Karl, laughing, "I wouldn't miss being organist on Christmas day, for tho world. If I'd known what I do now, I would certuinly havo tendered in a petition for tho place." "And then the practioings, too!" sug? gested Juliet. "We are to have ono every evening." The thought of which BO transported Karl, he passed tlie church door without knowing it. So Karl played for them on Christmas day, aud everybody declared tho music was superb. Tho practicing*, however, wero a perfect failure, as fur as Karl's pleasure was concerned, for Cornelia per? sisted in attending the rehearsals, declar? ing, with an egotism splendid to behold, "that, although sho conldu't sing, she was a capital judge of music and might bo able to oller a suggestion now aud thou." So she ulways went along, to see that things wero well done. Wo four UH much, thia course of conduct made Karl Von Oppenheim daily commit tho sin of profunity. Tho walk to church was the ouly glimpse vouchsafed to him of what ho citilt/d Heaven. Mrs. Thurlow's mnr ' ried .sou and his family came for a visit HO tho house was overflowing with com? pany, and the lovers enjoyed not a mo? ment's privato intercourse. Merri meut and frolics of every description consumed tho time Thom was a beautiful Christ? mas tree, Rudolph taking upon himself tho responsible position of master ol ceremonies and undertaking to conduct tho arrangements as ho last saw thom j conducted in Deutschland. Thero, too, : was tho grand dining party at Doctoj I Key wood's, the venerable President ol i Ashburn College, to which they wore ul i invited, and besides any amount of hopi I and dancing parties about town. Bul j tho crowning event of tho season, ant that which excited the highest inter?s aud the liveliest anticipations of pleasure in tho Ashburn fashionable, world, wai tho ball at Judge Babbitt's, which was t< take place on New Your's night.
