From the Youth's Cabinet 11 Mary Miller and Helen Parks : or the folly of discontent. Many years ago, I read a story which for- i cibly illustrated Tolly of discontent, ft , was in poetry, bur here is the ttrr substance | <jf it, in address of plain prose. A farmer's daughter, I will call Mary ! * Milter, was permitted to take a walk in the' fields one Saturday afternoon. She had J i b*en to school all the week, and this privi- 1 lege delighted her very much. She soon | left the dusty rond, and rambled from hit lockjto hillock, gathering the flowers which pleased her fancy. Some'imes she watch i .1 - I ed the glassy brook, and listened 10 me merry birds. Sometimes she bounded af ter the gay butterfly, and then ran to pick some flower whose gaudy colors nttr icted her ye. In short, wherever her light heart prompted, her nimble feet carried her. She was near die road-si le, when she saw a glittering coach pass slowly by. There was no one in it but a little girl about Mary's nge. A driver sat in front, guiding the sleek horses, which trotted in their rich harnesses. When the t'iri wi>hed to sop, instantly checked them; when she wh.shed to go forward, they started at his word. A j footman was on his "stand" behind. If the j little girl saw a flower in th?- field, or by the J road.side, she had only to speak, and the carriage stopped while the footman ran to fetch it. In short, she seemed to have no wish ungratified- As Mary looked at the coach, her heart sunk, her feet lost their lightness, and her spirits their gaiety, and her face its smiles. She walked gloomily along, and w ith sour looks and pouting lips, she entered her mother's humble dwelling. Have you not hud a deligh'ful wulk, my -U.i.I V* -i.? i ujiw ' ofni o *u* 'O no," said Mary, pettishly. 4,I should have enjoyed it pretty well, but Helen Parks came along in her carriage, and when I saw how happy she appeared, with her coachman and footman to wait upon her, and remembered that J was n poor girl, and must always go afoot and wait upon myself, I could hardly help crying. If she wanted anything, she had only to speak, or point to it, and the footman instantly ran and brought ! it to her. But when I something I wanted, if it was ever so far off, I must go and get it inyaelh I don't menu to walk out by ttnu road imy more." Her fretful voice was scarcely hushed, when Mrs. Parks came in. How did your daughter enjoy h"r ride this afternoon f'* said Mrs. Miller, when.her wt-a'thy guest had thrown herself languidly upon an unciishioned chair. H re the reader should know that Hel? n was lame, so that she had not walked several yars. Sue would have enjoyed it pretty well," said die lady, in a tone of condescension," hut just as she came where she had the fines prospect, she saw u little girl skipping about the fi'iIs. She watched her happy movements as she ran wherever her fancy led her, and when sh? rememberer! that she could never enjoy herself thus, she suid s'ie couid scarcely restrain her tears." *You cannot think,'said sic ; *how sad it was to feel thut I must be lifn d into the carriage whenever I wish to take the air; and when j I j?h pretty flower, I cnn never pick it j myslf. but must wait till some one, who I works for money, cnn go and fetch it to rne. | 1 watched ih?? happy g'rl.' s??id she, 4for a few minutes, as shed.inced so gaily among the birds and flowers, and then ordered the fool man to bring me a few daisies which pew by tl?e road side; but I soon threw I them away,' she added; *for I could not bear to look at them.' She directed the coach, man to drive home, that her feelings might no longer be aggravated by the sight of pleasure which she could not share. When the footman brougat her in, and plard her i carfully upon the sofa, she laid her face j upon my lap, and wept profusely. Mother,' j said she; 'I will never ride out by those ! fields again.'" Life.?"How truly does the journey of a tingle day,its changes and its hours, exhibit the history of human life! We rise up in the glorious freshness of a spring morning. The d 'ws of night, those sweet tears of nature, are hanging from each bough and leaf, and reflecting the bright and myriad i hues of lho morning. Our hearts are beat- ; ing with hop", our frames nre buoyant with : health. We see no cloud, we fear no storm; and with our chosen and beloved rnmiuinmn? clustering around us. we com. : vw"'l c mence our journey. Siep by step, the scene becomes more lovely; hour by hour, i our hopes become brighter. A few of our companions huve dropped away, but in | the multitude remaining, and the beauty of the scenery, their lots is unfelt. Suddenly we have entered upon >i new coun:ry.? The dews of the morning are exhaled by the fever ol the noonJay sun; the friends that started with us art; disappearing.? Som^ remain, but their looks arecoid and estrange; others have become weary, and have laid down to their rest; but- new faces I are smiling upon us, nnd new hopes beckoning us on. Ainbhion and Fame are before us, but Youth and afT-ciion are behind us. The scene is more glorious and brilliant* but the beauty and freshness of the morning have faded forever. But still our steps fail not. our spirits droop not.? Onward and onward we go: the horizon of happiness and fame recedes as we advance to it; the shadows begin to lengthen, and the chilly airs of evening are usurping the Noonday. Still we press onward; the goal is no: yt't won. the h^v.,.?i yei reached, j The orb of Hope that had cheered us on, J is suiking in the West; our I'nibs growing ' fa nt, and our hearts sad: we turn io ' gaz?* upon the scenes that we have passed, but the shadows of tire twilight have Interposed their.y? il between us; we look around Tor the old and familiar faces, tho con.pan. iorts of our travel, hut g.?z?* in vain to find tSerinJ we have outsripped them all in the ra^e after plea<ur , anij the phantom yet uncaugl.t, in a land of strange s, in a sterile and inhospitable country, the night f.me overtakes us; the dark nnd terrible ni?l,t time of death, and weary nnd heavy laden, we lie down to rest in the bed of the grave ! Happy, thrice happy is he, who has laid up treasures for himself, for the distant and unknown to-morrow.?Knickerbocker. ra? COBRA DE CAPELLO, HOODBA 08 SPECTACLED SNAKE. This deadly serpent is so denominated from its being in the habit of expanding, when irritated, a hood over the face, similar in appearance to the cowl of a monk. There are also two large livid spots, resembling a pair of uniform lenses, connected by an arch, alike com plexioned, which correctly represent a pair of! spectacles. The bite of this snake occasions ! death after it has inflicted its wound. It is very common in most parts of India, and during the rainy seasons is extremely apt to steal into < houses, to shelter itself against thejnclemency of that destructive element, proving a dangerous inmate among families, who are not aware, until -it proves too late, that this deadly reptile is living unobserved, in the midst of them. There is however, one vigilant little enenry to this snake, which is ever in pursuit of him, and that it is the "mon goose," or snake weasel. This creature is about the size of a ferret, partakes largely of the ardour of musk, and is capable of being domesticated, so as to become as familiar as a house cat ? When a "Cobra .de Cappello" perceives this weasel, he coils himself up, emitting at the same time a most foetid effluvium, to the nal. ural effect of terror and alarm. The mon goose runs round his enemy backwards and forwards, its eye being fixed on its victim, and when the critical opportunity offers itself, effects a sudden spring-upon his scaly foe, seizing him behind the occipit," and pressing its teeth through the spine. Should the weazel be bitten it immediately scampers off into the Sarden, or some wood near at hand, and meicates upon a peculiar herb which proves an antidote against the "venuem" of the serpent. There are few families in India that are without those little useful animals which run about the house and are exceedingly familiar in their habits. They are equally destructive to rats, mice, and other quadrupedal vermin. There are a certain class or rather "caste" of native termed "Sampe" Wallers," or snake catchers. These men are in the habit of going about exhibiting a varietjrof venomous serpents, which they carry with them in fitly constructed baskets This is a dangerous practice. About three years since, one of this vagabond fraternity whilst amusing a small assemblage of spectators by the exhibiti >n of his feats with six large "Cob a de capellos," during the act of charming them with the modulations of his pipe, one of the snakes contrived to seize him (?*i the wrist. The poor itinerant immediately fell conscious of his horrid fate; brandy was copiously administered to him but without producing any salutary effect. He was conveyed to an adjoining outhouse, where in less than 20 minutes he expired, under the most agonizing convulsions. ROMAN CEMENT. BARRELS for sale low, by j&\? A. P. LACOSTE.
