Ono by ono the sands aro flowing,
One by one the moments fall;
Some arc coming, somo aro going,
f Do not strive to grasp them all.
Oao by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go to each;
Let no future dreams elato thee,
Loam thou firut what these can teach.
One by one (bright gifts of Heaven)
Joy8 are sent thee here below;
Take them readily when given,
Ready too to let them go.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed bnnd ;
One will fade as others greet thee,
Shadows passiug through the land.
Do not look at life's long sorrow,
See how small each momenta pain ;
God will help theo for to-moriow,
Every day begin again.
ICvery hour that fleets so slowly
Has its task to do or bear;
Luminous tho crown. and holv.
If thou fet each gorft with cnru.
Do not linger with regretting.

Ere thy pilgrimage be done.

Tjic Late Lord Raglan?Brief Sketch
of his Life.
The news of the death ot' Lord Raglan, com- J
- mander-in-chief of the British forces in the j
Crimea, brought bv the Arngn, was scarcely ex ;
pected on this side of the Atlantic, though the |
accounts of his illness received by the previous |
steamer prevent the intelligenccawMkening emu- j
tions of surprise. It does not appear by the '
Loudon journals that tiie announcement caused
any sensation iu England. The public mind ]
there had been prepared for his resignation, and
his successor was already known. His decease,'
however, has called forth all the generous feel j
ings of the English nation. The Queen and the j
Parliament have paid a tribute to his mein.-ry, j
and the people and the press speak kindly or in- i
old general who died in his country's service. *The
following is a brief sketch of hi> lit-.
Lord Kaglau, or, as lie was better known fur '
so many years, Lord Fitzrov Sonivr-et, was the ;
youngest sou of the fifth Duke of Hear.fori, an 1 |
undo to the present Duke, lie was bora in;
1778, and was consequently in ids M.\:v--igiuh ,
year. The Som-r^-ts arc of the "prodSest and I
most ancient blood of Britain. To tr-ud 1?..ca '
to tho source of their origin would be as h'>pt- ,
le?s a task ns to penotrat'e to the fountain of the :
.Nile " Two centuries ago," we are told, " in
prouder man was seen in England than tin* thru
Duke of Somerset, who had the highways d-ar j
od before him thai lie might u.?l be looked upon J
by vulgar eyes, and who - rebuked his .second .
wife for tapping his shoulder with a fan, saying, J
' Madam, my tirsi was a Percy, and she never j
took such liberty.'
Lord Fiszroy Somerset was a Coruetdu 1S04,
a (J plain in 1806, a Major in 1811, and a Colo- j
nel in 181*2, accomplishing in eight years what-:
c ?st Sir De Lacey Evans, who saw still greater
- i vice, forty years to achieve. Lord Fitzroy
Somerset was present at every one of the great
Pen insula battles, (lis rank, as is ever the

Wellington, then Sir A. Wellesley, who was i
bur. too happy to attaoh to liis interest the jjow- ;
e'ful family of the Boauforts by naming hiin on
Lis stafT, and afterward raising him to the post.
1 .of Military Secretary. In this capacity heservjd j
through the whole war, exhibiting on every oc- |
casiou soldier-like abilities combim-d with f ar
less courage. He was twite sever-ey wonml.-il,
and lost his right arm at the farm ' !' ' Have
Sain to," on the day of Waterloo. Wi.-ei after
the great engagement the curiam f it or-,.! the
wars of Europe, Lord Fitzroy S"mer\..:? was a p.
pointed, in addition to other in n >v, S-eretary
-of the Embassy at Paris. Then-;-': ii- nt'-iided
the. Duke of Wellington to Vienna ami Verona
in 1922, and in 182'j proceeded ; > S* Peters
fcurg, whither ho was sent to congratulate delate
Emperor Nicholas on his atMiesMon to the
throne.
In 1819 he was appointed Secretary to the
Duke of Wellington, Master General of the Orfinance
until 1827, and in 1829 was made Military
Secretary to the Commander-in-Chi f. the
functions of which office he performed during
the reign of the several Commanders in-Chief
down to the death of the Duke of Wellington,.
On tiie death of the Duke, the command in.
chief was, much to the disappointment of Lord
Fitzroy Somerset, conferred on Lord liardinago,
and Lord fitzroy Deing uuuuung iu serve uiiI
der an officer of similar standing to himself, was
1 ap|)ointed Master General of the Ordinance, with
L n Peerage, which he assumed under the title of
Lord Raglan, that name of a. cattle which Ed ;
ward Somerset, one of his ancestors, held against J
Cromwell, as the last of the nobles.
During the long reign of Lord Ilill, and the
subsequent one of the Duke of Wellington at
the Horse Guards, of Lord F. Summerset, owing
to the ago of these veterans and the conli-,
dence reposed in him, though acting as Military
Secretary, was virtually Commander in-Chief, and i
in an office where so much tact and delicacy ,
were required contrived during that long period, J
with a strong class prejudice, to win and retain i
t\\a ??noot onrl rnorfiril nf flip armv. He nC'VPI' I
for one moment forest "his older," or abandoned J
that faith in the divine right of aristocracy which |
he inherited by birth and education, But. he
concealed his prepossessions and bigotrv, with
.Mich graceful art and Buch silvered, verbiage, as
to make the refused Com in oners who left his
hloMed in the fasr.inntlnc refusal than
in a rudo compliance with their request.
Without any military genius, Lord Raglan
! possessed a sound judgement, fearless courage J
and Inflexible sense of justice. Devoted to drill,
dutiful to death and daring to destruction, a
just and generous gentleman of honor, courage,
and deep senst* of duty lie possessed every qual
ity for a second in command, but was wholly
unfitted to govern an army. He had not the.

Lord Raglan was just that character of man
which the English system in its best form begets.
Trained in every step to memory instead of exercising
mind, .as long as tilings go on by the
prescribed regulation all is well. But when an
unruly monster like Seba-topol stands across the

The internal afforded another opportunity,

which cumbered the earth and were in process
of removing, gave out faint tokens of coming

Humorous Incident.?A !au.dial-!e incident
occurred in this country some time since, die
cireuin-tances of which wo got from one ac
qnainted with the transaction. An old gentleman
farmer, wiio had two handsome daughters,
was so cautious of his charge, that ho would
not permit them to keep the company of young
men ; however, they adopted the following
expedient to enjoy the company of their lovers.
Alter the old man retired to rest, the girls
would hang a sheet out of the window, and
the Ilea a would seize hold of the sheet, and
wiih the assistance of his lady-love, who lugged
lustily above, would thus gain nr. entrance;
but it s-> happened tli;|t one evening the girls '
hung out ilie sheet too eaily, for the old gentleman,
by some illwind, was accidentally
around the corner, and spvitig the sheet, could '
nor ( iii.-ftiirn Mm nicauiiii/ of its imincr there: 1
so he caught hold and endeavored to puil it !
down ; the "iris ahovo supposed it to he one '
of their henux, hegan to hoist, and did not dis- |
ever their mistake until the old man s head
was level with the window sill, when one of
them exclaimed 'Oh Lord ! 'tis dnd !' and let 1
ling go the sheet, souse came down the old
man on the haul ground dislocating one shoul
I
tier, whieli convinced liiiu that to make ' old
maids' out of his daughters, was a matter not
so easily accomplished, and withdrawing all
further opposition to their keeping company,
he was soon a father-in-law.

The Em pk ess Eugenie.- Without being by
any means the perfect beauty her flatterers declare
her to be, the Empress is certainly ono of J (
the very loveliest looking women that could be (
found. Her face is lighted up with such an (
innocent, gentle, and vivacious expression, and a |
smile of such exceeding sweetness, as render her |
perfectly charming, iler manner is at once |
graceful, digniiinl, and gracious; she looks ab
solutely radiant on a public occasion, and per
forms Iter patt so pcifectly, and with sucit a ,
look of absolute happiness, that she seems not j
only as though she bad been born tothestation |
to which her singular fortune has raised her, l
but appears, beside her impassable and uude- ,
monstrative partner, as though she was some '
sovereign in lior own right, who had espoused
some man of humble rank, and sought, uuconsciously,
to atone for his comparative cold and |
Ungracious manner, by the overflowing of Jier ,
own royal ami native courtesy. And yet, to see (
her small, sweet, but pale and weary-looking
face at other times, one. wou^d say that she had
already entered upon that ue-tiny of sorrow of j
which the lino of pain across her brow would ,
almost seem to be nature's own prophecy.

Behavior at Watering Places.
If a traveller were to visit an American watering
pjace at the height of the season, we fear
that lie would conceive a poor idea of our
iM.litonfw lie would lind so iriany i
1""' B
people putting on airs, so many rendering themselves
absurd with pretension, so many exhibiting
a mere vulgar love of display, that lie would
infallibly becuine disgusted, and overlooking the i
really well bred, would pronounce us all a sot of
conceited puppies.
Foremost at such places he would find the
would be exclusive*, who fancy they are proving
their gentility by violating all the ordinary courtesies
and customs of life. To be singular, tliey
think, is to be aristocratic, and so they stultify
themselves by appearing in sun-bonnets at
church, coining down to dinner hi dishabille,
MIIU (ILlL'l.UilJ^ it 1IVJ.' Ill ?i vwiiiuuiv* w
he would see such persons affecting to be disgusted
with everything thev eat, and pronouncing
excellent accommodations " absolutely wretched."
Have people any business aw;iy from
home with sucfi ridiculous airs? Watering
places are essentially democratic, and have bee?
so considered ever since Beau Nasb ruled at
Bath. The general comfort demands that all
should bo affable, especially as an acquaintance,
formed at such resorts, is understood, among
really well bred persons, not to involve an intimacy
in town, unless by mutual consent.
Next in prominence are the gossips and talcbearers.
These are always busying themselves
about other people's affairs, retailing small slanders,
winking iuueiidoc-s manufacturing falsehoods.
They pry among servants and children,!
poison the judgment of their li>teticrs, and 11
sedulously aim at setting everybody by their j
ears. X.'.vl eoino the v ultrar pretenders, who.
by dim of extravagance and show, hope to bo
regarded as people of consideration. Then th"re
are the empty fashionables, who follow slavishly ,
what they fancy the latest mode, and deride all j
who difllr from them in diess, manner, or style j
of acting. They will laugh cruelly to her face ;
at an innocent girl, who dances more c'aboratclv i
than they have been taught to, forgetting that j
at the court of St. James, their polkas and'
sehottishfe would be considered insufferably
low. It is the mark of a radically base and
vulgar heart to find matter fur ridicule in everything
except vice or crime. No class of persons
is really less well bred than those pretenders
to fashion.
Uut the ladies are not She only offenders. It
is a common thing, in g"iug to a watering place,
to see men rush into the ears. monotiolizin<r all
the best sgats* Or they are seen snatching the
choicer viands, at a steamboat dinner, from under
tlje vr*rv eyes of the ladies fur wh?nn they
were intended. Or I hey diive recklessly past?
hay, almost over?nurses and children walking
on the beach. Or they keep invalids awake at
night, and offend the ears of ladies, by thoir
bacchanalian shouts and songs. Or they puff
their cigar smoke in the faces of women. Or
they suffer an unprotected female almost to
starve at table, by bribing the waiters to bring
very thing t<> them. Or they gormandize liko
g'uitotis. t ? the infinite disgust of all persons
I ss Lastly than themselves.
People at watering places should re m amber
that there ij no public resort where their foibles
atv. more easilv d- tected. for every one has lei
? ' J
sure to observe his neighbor. T?> be natural,
nttable and courteous, is, therefore, the only safe
plan. Generally, when people put on airs, they \
deceive nobody but themselves, and instead of j
exhibit!no their importance, they only betray ;
their silliness and vulgarity.

Ho bides.?The London Times commences
an editorial in the following style :
"Theie are no men without their weak .
points, on which their best friends would gladly ,
tic their hands or shut up their mouths if it ,
were possible. IVuhably their wish to do so '
is a mistake, as the supposed weakness is, after
all, a necessary relief to some morbid craving, ;
and a salutary vent for what would otherwise 1 ,
fill and overwhelm the mind. Here's one man,1
otherwise sensible etioflgh, always talking i:
about emigration, another about peasant pro : 1
prietors, another about church organs, another 1,
about pipe drains, another about hearses and ;
colli us, another about women, another about <
perpetual motion, or flying; another altnut

they are practical, and even dull; but, once on ,
their liohhv. they lire up like flu* chaiger at the 11
wniud of the tiumpet. Their e\esglisten, their i
tongues become more flexible, and their voice i

both ready t?> rave about 0>sian, though the j
Alican dignitary outlived his craze ratiicr soon- j
?r than the Corsican soldier. It is far better
that a man should talk about his hobbies, even
though he exposes himself to the pity of his',
friends, than that ho should attempt to conceal jj
them in the recess of his mind, aa the Spartan I
lad tried to hide the fox in his bosom. They j,

sionally drivel like other men, thankful that he j <
Joes not go on all fours and eat grass- If you 1

ruction, and there is some chance of a cure, or j
:it least a mitigation. So, good people, stern
nen of sense, kind or candid friends, cool men <
jf the world, do not f>e too severe 011 our
neighbor in his inspired moods. Let him have |
tiissay ont. Possibly we may ho able to divert
his thoughts to the working world, but *
snubbing will only make him worse."
Rules fop. Study.?The other evening, Pro
lessor Davis, the eminent mathmatician in c->n*
rersation with a young friend of his upon the importance
of system in studying, as well as in cve y

The Beuuty of Cheerfulness.
" Is it not worse than vain to close our eyes
Upon the azure eky and golden light,
Because tho tempest-cloud doth sometimes rise,
And glorious day must darken into night?"
It is a sad tiling to be peevish, fretful and discontented.
There are titties and seasons when
it is almost impossible to rally a remarkable
flow of spirits, even when there is apparently
little or 110 cause for despondency. But these,
with the great majority of the lilt man family,
are, or should be, few and far between. There
are some persons who are constantly making
themselves unhappy, and without reason. They
see nothing hut the dark side of life, and close
their eyes and their hearts to the bright. They
get up in the morning out of humor, not only
with themselves, but with all mankind; and
wherever they appear, or in whatever circle they
1*11 1 " i i rr?t

themselves to indulge in idle jealousies, foolish
fears and vague apprehensions, and even if prosperous
for the present, they predict some sad
calamity in the future, and thus prove them
selves morbidly infirm, and, in fact, insensible
to the blessings of Providence. The effect is i
not only to distress themselves, but to annoy j
and disquiet others. They cast a gloom over
everything for the moment, and serve to drive
away the sunny influences which are so admirably
calculated to brighten the pathway of life.
In what happy contrast is the cheerful spirit
?the individual whoso heart is full of kindness
and generosity, who is ever ready to say a good
word, or to do a benevolent act, and whose daily
life may be likened to a constant beam of sunshine
! He may be disturbed and depressed
for the moment, but it will only be for the mo- ,
ment. A shadow may pass over his brow, and j
silence may seal his lips, but his natural buoyan- j
cy will soon acquire the ascendant, and his
joyous laugh and cheerful smile will soon be !
heard and seen again. If be cannot say any- '
thing kindly or complimentary, lie has the good j

no charms for him, and malignity is utterly for- \
oigri to his disposition. He constantly tries to i
gladden and encourage, to cheer the desponding
and unfortunate, to assist aud relieve to the extent
of his ability. The head of a household, or
the master-spirit of an extensive establishment,
possesses, to a considerable extent, the means
of making or marring the comfort and happiness
of all who look up to, depend upon, or
feel the exercise of his influence. Imagine a
peevish, fretful and dissatisfied individual under |
these circumstances! His very appearance |
creates a shodde', for he is certain to say some j
thing harsh, cold or uncivil, and thus to irritate j
feelings, trample upon sensibilities, or stimulate ,
prejudices and passions. He is miserable himself, |
and, according to the old adage, misery loves com- J
panv. He moves about like a troubled spitft,:
and instead of a smile, a cheering -word an en-1
couraging look, a frown, a rebuke or a grumble j
are certain to characterize his progress. How !

until it is as1 familiar as household wopls,' and

But wu heard on Saturday of an in

eloquent; if by -eloquence wo uro to understand

In this case, the eloquence was the result of
accident and not design, but none the less powerful
for that but the story.
Once upon a time, in a certain city, there lived
a merchant, whose name is not at all necessary.
Times were hard, as they are now, and the merchant
had received from one of his customers at
a distance, in answer to a previous dun, a letter
stating his difficulties, and requesting time.
Agitated, not with that matter only, but ma
ny others, the merchant paced tho floor of his
counting room, with arms behindjiis back, and a
lowering brow. Stopping, suddenly, he turned |
to his clerk and said :
'Mr. jwrite that man without delay.'
' Yes, sir.' i

Ail Interesting Chapter iu the Career
of a Scoundrel*
The Mayor in this city received a letter from
Kentucky yersterday, desiring information in re
gard to thw whereabouts of one William Winter^
alias Geo. Wentworth, whose career during the
pitst few months has been diversified by deeds
that will, we hope, eventually insure bini a home
in some of our excellent prison houses. This
William Winter, while travelling in Kentucky
some months ago, made the acquaintance of a
young and beautiful girl, named Eliza Ella
Hunter, nnd after a brief courtship, induced her
to elope and marry him, lie passing at the time
under the .'issumed name of George Went worth.
From Kentucky the new couple went to Philadelphia,
nnd from thence came to Hoston.?
Here Winter, as wo shall call him, boardded
with the family of a Mr. l'carce, 011 Charleston
Neck. While with this family his
wife invariably addressed him as "mv husband,"
nevercalling him by name. This circumstance,
together with the fact that the lady always appeared
dejected aiyi sorrowful, ied the family to
suspect that all was not right, and upon men
tioning these sflspicionS, Winter, left the house
and boarded his wife at Milliken's, in this city.
About tins lime, ?inter tormed a connection
with Miss Jennie L. Deshon in the publication
of.a weekly periodical called the Zarfica' Enterprise,
lie attending to the general business affairs,
and she managing; the editorial labors.
9 O O
Female agents were employed to obtain suo
scriptious for a new paper, and a great deal of
noise was made about woman's rights, moral
reform and the amelioration of the condition
of woman in all parts of the habitable globe.?
Winter made a "soliciting" tour through the
State of New York, and collected about 8500
of which, however, he was robbed one day
while looking at a procession passing down
brondway, in the city of New York. In view
of his character it may be reasonable to suppose
that he robbed himself. Shortly after this
pretended robbery the Ladies* Enterprise was
discontinued "for the want of adequate support,"
and Winter left for New York in company with
his business partner, Miss Deshon. His lawful
wedded partner was left behind at Mililccn's, he
iraforming her that businevs had calied him away
for a short tiniq.
Tho partners in the Ladies' Enterprise soon
turned up again in Albany, where they started a

Female Piety.?The gem of all others
which encircle tile coronet of a'lady's character
is unaffected piety. Naturo may lavish much
on her person?tho enchantment of the countenance?tho
gracefulness of her mind or
strength of her intellect; yet her lovliness is uncrowned
till piety throws around tho wholo
sweetness and power of her charms. She then
becomes unearthly in the temper?unearthly
in her desire4 and association.', Tho spell
which hound her affections to things below is
broken, and she tnounia on the silent wings of
her fancy and hope, to the habitation of God,
where it will bo her delight to hold communion
with the spirits that has been ransomed Ironi
the thraldom of earth, and wreathed with a garland
of glory.
Prettv Good for Pat.?The other day the
conductor of r train on our railroad discovered
an Irishman in a car, soon aftler starting from

he had no money. The conductor, after lecturing
him, told him to leave at the first stopping
place, not far distant. Accordingly, Pat was

Immortality.
'And this mortal shall put on immortality.'
How this glorious thought bouys me up, as I
tread the rough paths of my wayfaring. The
unshed tear has gone back to its fount, as I have
opened the Holy Book and put my finger on
the word immortaility. It is written on the
delectable hills that rise just beyond the haze
1 that clouds material vision; yet there are times
! when the spirit asserts its supremacy, and rises
! on strong wings upward till it catches its affec!
tion on the burnished sky. The long grass
takes i!0 root in soil, ami the mould of tiino
never cree|* with its.slimy foot over the beautiful
structure. There is neither silence nor darkness
around it, and the shadow of tbo grave passes
before tlio sunlight of its glory.
Ilave you not heard its sound breathing like
an under tone through the loug pauses of the
tolling bell? Mourners whisper it to each other
between their tears and wear it in their bosoms
as an amulet, wheu thev lav one whose foot
j faltered in the course to rest just outside the
crowded thoroughfare of life. "
Immortality! It has rung in my cars, till
even the wind grew inharmonious, and the midnight
thunder discordant with the melody that
filled my soul. It has shone before my eyes till
the sun went to sleep in his gold and porple'
chambers, and the sentinel stars come out on
tho high walls of uight. One by one the weatli- *
crs ceased and strong as a giant, tho sun rose
up again at the bidding of day, Yet the brightness
of this word paled not. It waxed brighter
aud brighter till my eyes grew dim with its insupportable
splendor.
! Henceforth tho ways ot life took a sunnier
! course and the flowers grew thicker and sweeter
j along their borders, bo I learned to breathe it
ofteu to myself, as I lie down and rise up?'This

| l.v Favour or Marriage.?Powers, the
j sculptor, writing to a friend of what' people call
| the folly of marrying without the means to sopj
port a family, expretaea franlily his own fear*
when ho found himself in this very position; but
he adds with characteristic caudor: "To tell the
truth, however, family and poverty have done
more to support mo than 1 have to support thim.
; They have compelled me to make exertions that
I hardly thought myself capable of; and often,
when oil 'he eve of despairing, they have forced
me, like a coward in a comer, to fight like a
| hero, not for myself, but for my wife and littlo
i 0110s. I have now* as much work to do a* I can
! execute, unless I can find some more assistance
| in the marble, and I have a prospect of further
j commissions." ?
The truth, as expressed above by the gifted
! sculptor, is like a similar remark wo heard not
j long since, by a gentleman from Boston, who
; tried matrimony in the same way and fouud
' afterwards that the loose change in his pocket,
j which he had before squandered in "foolish no.
tions"?young men's w hims as lie called them
?was enough to support a prudent wife, who
by well regulated economy, has proved a fortune
in herself aud had saved a snug sum of money
| for her once careless husband. "A wife to direct

j As Exception to the General Rcle.?
! Among the passengers by the last steamer from
j California, was a citizen of Boston, who has for
' six years been trying bis luck on the Pacific
coast. When he left home he was worth little
or nothing, but by industry has returned home
with some 170,000, it ia said. Such exceptions
to the general rule are very rare.
