" No nobler THJOIE ever engaged the pen of poet. It is the roul-elevating idea, that no man can consid­er himself entit led to complain of Fate; while in his adversity, he still retains the unwavering love of woman."—[E. A FOE.

Though the day of my destiny's over,

And the star of my fate hath declined, Thy soft heart refused to discover

The faults which so many eould^find ; Though thy soul with my grief was acquainted,

It shrunk not to share it with me, And the love which thy spirit hath painted

It never hath found but in TUBE.

Then, when nature around me i3 smiling,

The last smile which answers to mine,

1 do not bel ieve is beguiling, \

Because it reminds me of thine ;

i A n d when winds are at war w' th the ocean, *

As the breasts I believed in with me.

If the bi l lows excite an emotion, It is that they bear me from THEE.

Though the rock of my last hope is shivered,

And its fragments are sunk in the wave,

Though I feel that my soul is delivered

, To pain—it shall not be its s lave; There is many a .pang to pursue me ;

They may erui-h Lut they shall not contemn—

They may torture, but shall not subdue m e —

Tin of THEE that 1 think—not of them.

Though human, thou didst not deceive me. Though woman thou did«t not forsake, •

Though loved, thou forborest to grieve me,

Though slandered thou never couldst shake,

Though trusted, thou didst not declaim me, Though parted, it was not to fly,

Though watchful it was not to defame me, Nor mute, that the world might belie.

Yet I blame n o t t h e world, nor despise it, Nor the war of the many with one—

If my soul was not fitted to prize it. T w o s folly not sooner to shun ;

And if dearly that error hath cost me,

A n d more than I once could foresee,

I have found that whatever it lost me, It could not deprive me of THEE.

j t , CHAPTER k ir . "

I T is a New Year's morning. The footfall of eighteen hundred has died^tipon the ear, and close upon its lingering footsteps, its younger brother presses. The church bells hove pealed out the notes of welcoming^— there is gladness upon every lip, andjoy in every eye. Of the past there is little thought, to-day, when tho present is so bright, and tbe future so radiant with promise.- VV ell-dressed throngs of callers, a te . soon seen hurrying from boose to house, and all seem fall of mirth and happiness..

Mrs. Wilmot had lookdd forward to the oc­casion so eagerly awaited by many, with fear and trembling. I t had always been her hus­band's custom, and she supposed that this year, as formerly, he would wish to make his. New Year's visits. A day or two before, she had broached the matter to him. saying she had thought it best not- to receive calls her­self. T o her great joy, instead of objecting, he told her he had not intended makn g any, and proposed that they should take a jaunt to Philadelphia instead. •

Unfortunately, however, she awoke this morning, with a violent headache.

her side, sits a bright eyed little girl, bnsily engaged in playing With a beautiful maltese ciit, and every now and then she looks up in­to her oipther s face, and asks her Xo see how famnj' pussy behaves. Upon thevother side of the- stove, a boy about nine or ten years of age, is sitting, and entirely absorbed in the fascinating.pages of Robinson Crusoe. The room seems to be the only one occupied by the family, for a bed is in one corner, and a small crib at the foot, and if we should look underneath the first, we might discover a small trunqle-bed, which was too modest to appear by daylight.

If you should watch the countenance of the mother, for a few moments, } ou could not fail to notice, that it wore an anxious expression. She listens to the sound of every approaching footstep, and a look of disappointment suc­ceeds) the look of expectation, as it passes by. AU. at pnee she seems absorbed in thought, her sewing falls from her lap, while one deep and hpavy sigh escapes ber.

*W!hy what's the matter, mother V said the boy, as disturbed by it, he raised his eyes from the book, and noticed ber position.— 'What 's tbe matter, ma?' Le repeated, and laying down his book, he left hU seat, and kneeling by his mother's side, looked up into her fa£e, with an expression of earnest en quiry, and ardent love. He \v;is a noble-look: Ing io6y, for now we can see his face, shaded by dark- auburn locks, which curled broad, clear brow. His eve was,of

a broad collar, tied with

fresh air, she might drive it away. But it was all to no purpose, and with great regret, she was obliged to tell her husband, it wuold be impossible for her to go with him. He seemed much disappointed for a moment, but only for a moment. ~~«iS5&e^J&nsorry, Mary, but it can't be help­ed, a l i a ^ V i r - t ? r i f y ' * & 4 & ^ 1 ^ ^ ^ day with yon. ' * «™*+aissi

'You are very—Very kind, F rank / and o-verjoyed at the favorable result, of what had seemed so unpropitious, she immediately set about devising some means by which tho day could be made to pass pleasantly.

Mr. Wilmot had just finished cutting the pages of-a ne.w periodical, and commenced reading it, when all at once, there was a ring at the door, and in walked Mr. Richards, the identical bachelor friend, of whom we have before spoken.

'Good morning, YViJmot! A happy New Year to you.' i

'Thauk you. Richards; I frOpo your long life may be made up of them, iyt down.'

'Can't wait but a moment. 1 came to get you to make calls with me. l""ve a great many to make, and there are a great many young

" ty , thing! loath, they sal-down again, and~another halfljour glided swiftly by. And when ask­ed tri take some refreshments, and the w;iv was Jed into tbe other room, tiiey found an­other} proof of the colonel's old fashioned ideasiof politeness. He was obliged to remain • paiiiy, was ckpro-so at holme, on- account of the infirmities of ag

Kolmuch 1">VIL\ mingled with so much sun-• $ • ' •

face, that a smile ol pleasure drove the cloud from his mother 's

intellectual refreshments to support the inner maiV'Ond although the latter may be more re-linedj he hadn't yet fbund it out. So he took care (hat Mrs. B r-'s table should be pro­vided! with everythi(g desirable, and under Mary|s supervision itt arrangement could not fail of being in admirable taste.

Net; one had a rar<r lot of wines' than the colonel, and he pride! himself not a little up­on'it.,; I t always gra<fied him to hear his old Madeira praised. It,was part of a lot pur-chased by his father,and was only produced upon occasions.

Of course, Mr. Rithards and Mr. Wilmot must ^aste his Madeiia, or there was port, if they preferred, or c)ampaigne, which latter,

larose, with all feelings of revenge Bwallowed ppf in bis intense, overmastering thirst. He had staggered home, not to remain, but to get more money, and so low was Tie sank, that he Iwas willing to return to the very groggery from which he bad been throst oat, and re­ceive a dram from tbe very hands which had ibused him.

Frank had placedja* chair for his father as ?oon as he came in. 'Sit down, Frank,' said Mrs. Wilmot: 'I'm very glad you have come ionic. Here's a nice fire, and I've kept your supper warm for you.'

'L>anin the supper: Mary, give'me some Tioney.'

Mrs. Wilmot trembled, as she saw tho mad­ness in his eye, and her voice shook as she re­plied, 'I havn't any, Frank. My last work tasti't been paid for, and 3'ou took all I had, (this morning.' j 'Don.'t tell me yon "havn't any. I know better " J must have some, if it isn't but a ^hilling.' ! '.I havn't a single cent, Frank.' I He hesitated for a moment, and then turn­ed towards tbe door. j 'Don' tgo oat again, Frank. I'ts so stor-tmy. I am afraid to have you. Don't,go out aga'in.'

'Stop your noise. J tell you I must have drink, and I will have it,' and looking at his son, he noticed the Bible, which he still held in his hand. 'What's that you have got, Frank I" 1 It was with fear ainf trembling, that Mrs. ) \ ilmot saw him take the Bible, while a drunkard's emtio lit his face, as he look it, for a moment.

!] 'fjpi'e, Frank, take this, and go and get all itlie money you can for it, of old Smallsoul, jand biing me home a bottle of gin." ] 'Oil, don't—don't, my dear husband. It was mother's BifJfe. 1 can't part with it.'

But her intoxicated husband, was deaf to all entreaty, and again he turned to Lis son.

"TTo'asl bid you, Frank.' 'I can't, father,' said the boy, and he drew

himself up with a resolute ."yet respectful air, ,1 can't go, sir.' 'You can't, hey? The devil you can't! —

{'•o, you impudent dog, or I'll flog you within an inch of your life,' and he„nioved with up-iii'ted fist, towards the noble boy, who stood like a statue, though his face was as pale as death, and his lip quivered. But his eye was

'I arrived in "town1 yesterday, si^tsr. But don't talk. Try tr» compose yotirself, and steep, if you can, for you need quiet, very much.' . / . j

All t!iis whil/, Frank had been half in doubt. He had beaird his mother call hitri 'brother,' and he had |ieard of Up tie Harry. But still h'e did not feci sure, and he eyed him •with the half-doubtful, half-acquainted look of childhood. As soon as Mrs. Wilmot slept, his uncle called Franli to him, andjasked him,

tinned him more and more, and although at first the little fellow w--»s very shy, qnd showed great unwillingness to say anything against his father, he gradually so won uppn his con­fidence, as to draw from him' the {particulars' of whai had happened that cvenihg, and tho

Mr. D e L a n c y wrapped, his cloak About him, and seated in a rocking ehair by the sUixc, thought long and anxiousljj upon what he had see'sPand heard. Unpleasant rumors had come to his home in the t^est, but he knew nothing definite, for until riow he had not visited New York, since his rejmoval.

•Why—eh—I don't know.' 'Oh pshaw! I'm afraid you've got the

blues, or something of the sort. Come, there's nothing like running about to drive them a-way.'

At this moment, Mrs. Wilmot entered the room. 'Good morning, madam. Can't you persuade vour husband to make calls with met '

Mrs. Wilmot feigned a smile, and her hus­band, in an undecided tone, said something about their not receiving calls fliewselves.

'Never mind tha t ! AH we shall call upon, will be just as glad to see you. Come, put oi\ your coat, and we will be off.'

J e w would have influe'ficed Mr. Wilmot So much as did Mr. Richards, for be was a long an,d tried friend. When, in the reverses of fortune, others had seemed to turn the cold shoulder, he was more kind and trure than ev­er, and saving his occasional dissipation, there could not have been found, a nobler man, or a better friend. It was, therefore, almost impossible to refuse an invitation so tempting, and unexpected, and .Mrs. Wilmot's heart sank within her, as she heard her hus­band say, 'Well, Richards, to oblige you, I believe I'll go.'

persuillsiv e than the \vine> saying, 'You will take a.: glass of wiuo with me, Mr. Wilmot,' there Was no refusing.and having drank, with repeated wishes for a 'tappv New Year ' thev left the house. J

He left the room, and soon returned, pre­pared to call, and as they went from tin house, Mrs. Wilmot endeavored t4

e .„ reply

cheerfully to their merry good morning. .; But when she had sat down alone, to think over

the past, and over what might happen, «he could not help giving uncontrolled'expression to her sorrow. Long she wept, and yet hop­ed, in tbe midst of ber tears, that her husband might be 'delivered from evil,' though 'led in­to temptation.'

As we have said, it was a beautiful morn­ing, and etfery one seemed bent upon «njoy-ing it to the fall I The Btreets vierb crowded with w e U - d r e s B e d , * n 4 b * r ^ l 6 o t e ^ t h i ^ « ^ and many wWPttfir%88WiM^^ went jingling bye. "The gaily painted omni-8

bos-sleighs, holding about as mariy as Noah's nxkr and charging, little more for paajjsge, af-forded fe tho 'great unwashed' facilities for cheap sleigh-ride's. ^Eveh in the; voice of the ragged little urchin, who doffed his liat, and throat out his hand, with a 'Happy New Year,' there was the melody of gladness. " The old apple Women upon the corner were in a smi­ling mood; and every body and.every thing seemed brighter, happier, npon tbe bright and happy morning of tbe glad New Year.

None seemed in better spirits than Mr. Wil.

- It was a pleasant cal, but a sad one in its consequences to Mr. Wilmot. A number of visits still remained, an! there was no further need of urging him to .rink. Again was his slumbering appetite aroused, and veuy soon

N ? ! tQ fi"d t h e v e a t h c r 80 c o W tbat nothing but drinking could keep him comfor-table. It seemed to graw colder too, with every ,additionnl visit, u n $ at length, even Mr. Rifshards was obliged to suggest, tlrat he was dijinking rather more than was good for Ijrm. °

At about eight in the evenmg, when some calls 8 tp remained, Mr. Wtmot was so much intoxicated, U»at even withhis friend's assist-ance hfe could hardly walk steadily, and with dimcoity, assisting hhn down the steps of the ast boiise at whreb thev called, he drove him

home. 1 Yesvlthe work was dona And when Mr.

Richards saw the illdisguised expression of anguishj, aye, of very agoni , upon the coun­tenance, of Mrs. Wilmot, as he assisted her drunken husband into the house, bitterly did he regret his own mistaken kindness, in mak­ing himj so. And oh ! had she, at whose so-licitatityi the first glass was taken, known the extent of the evil she was causing, sooner than haVg ogered and urged its acceptance, she would have.wished ber right hand palsied. Oh, it ii a fearful temptation, when the hand of beaolyt proffers it, with the smiling Hp and tnebr ig l i teye! . ' . . ^

We c| >uld not, nor would we, 'if we could, depict fljufs. Wilmot's a^ony, when she saw her fond hopes so terribly, so utterly blasted. She had hoped, ob hpw fervently! that tbe dark .clduds of trouble ^ were now ever past,

He'went to a bureau and took from one of jfi,xed steadily upon hisf; the drawers a richly bound Bible. It was fastened by a ve*y heavy gilt clasp, and seem­ed a relic of better days. 'Where shall I read to-night, ma ?' !
