NATURE.
0 NAT nE, bow fair is thy face,
And how light -is thy heart, and how friendless thy
g race I
Thou false mistress of man I thou deat sport with him
lightly
In his hours of ease and enjoyment ; and brightly
Dost thou smlo to his smile ; to his joys thou inclinest,
Bst his sorrows, thouImowest them nor, nor divinest.
While he ooas thou art wanton, thou lettest him love
thee ,
But thou art not his friend, for his grief cannot move
thee.
And at last, when he sickens and dies, what dost thou ?
All as gay are thy garments, as careless thy brow,
And thou laughest and toyest with every now-corner,
Not a tear more for winter, a smile lees for summerl
Haqt thou never an anguish to heave the heart under ?
That fair breast of thine. 0 thou feminine wonder I
For all those-the young, and the fair and the strong,
Who have loved thee, and lived with thee gaily and
long,
And who now on thy bosom lie dead I and their deeds
And their days are forgotten I 0 hast thou no wyeeds
And not one year of mourning-ono out of the many
That decks thy new bridals forever-nor any
Regreis for thy lost loves, concealed from the now,
0 thou widow of earth's generations ? Go tel
If the sea and the night-wind know aught of these
things,
They do not reveal it. We are not thy kvags.
Had Lucile found in life that oommunion which links
All that woman but dreams, feels, conceives of and
thinks
With what man acts and is, concentrating the strength
Of her genius within her affections' at length
Finding woman's lull use through man's lifo, by man's
8kill
Re-adapted to forms fixed for lifes, the strong will
And high heart which the world's creeds now recklessly
braved,
From the world's crimes the man of the world would
have saved ;                          I f
neconciled, as it were, the divine with the human, I
And, exalting the man, have comnreted the woman.
-Erle-ctsffrom        , by Owe Meedith.
BE good, my dear, and lot who will be clvor,•
Do noble things, not dr'am them all day long;
And so make lif, death, and tao vast Forever
.. One grnd sweet song.

CHAPTER I.
THE8 nRICEMAIERS.
Hunn' up boys, burr' up; its gain' to rain
pjtchforks; stop to a double quick, and bring
hero the bricks that have been sot into rows,
and are dry 'nough to be sot into tlio kiln, and
them 'taint dry 'nough, lay some boards onto.
Hurr' up your cakes, I say! 
 Whew!  whistled a ]al, who, having lost
his boy's voice, and not yet gotten his man's
beard, was not inclined to talk much ; Whow I
whow I He then unslipped the tow apron he
was about tying on, threw it carelessly over the
moulding-trough, and enquired of his nearest
neighbor, what kept Mr. Killigrew away so
long ?
What keeps him?  thundered the first
speaker, his own free will, I reckon ; but no
matter what keeps him, he isn't hero and I am,
and I am at the head o' the yard, and over you ;
so on with your tow apron agin, and at it with
might and main, or I'll know the reason.
Walsh Hill, was the name of the man who
fulminated this order, and having felicitated
hini el1 for a moment on the happiness of his
rhetoric, he stepped forth from beneath the
shed where the brick-kiln was beginning to
t.ke shape, wiped his muddy hands on his hair,
and shook his fist at the youngest hand-the
lad who had taken off his tow apron-in the very
teeih of his commend.
• Whew !  whistled the boy again, and then
folding his arms, be leaned against the mould-
ing-trough, as though, for his part, he saw
nothing-else to do.
Walsh Hill, feeling perhaps, that he could not
enforce his order in that direction, turned to
another of the hands- What are you at, Mr.
Go.easy? -he said- don't you hear, and
don't you see it's a-gem' to rain like the devil,
and all the bricks '11 be spilt?
My name's Barber, if I am the gentleman
-you're talking to, replied the  man addressed
na Mr., Go-easy, and then he added: -,Seems
to me your mighty considerate for other folk's
interest, all at once-'taint five minutes past
one yet, and Mr. Killigrew 'aint the man to
waste mueh time-he'll be here himself directly
and save all trouble..
Mr. Barber,' said Hill, coming forward and
offering his hand, I meant no disrespeet to
o, 'open my honor as a gentleman, but I was
tj; owed off my guard a little by this everlast-
ing reference to Killigrew. rm   sick of his
name, I hate it, and hate him into the bargain !
,No, no, sir; I wasn't putaig on no irs, not to.
Wixiyou..

#

I don't want you'to Mister me, replied
Barber, giving his hand.  A feller just talks
to bear himself, sometimes, you knqw ; but I
do th ik your hatred of Mr. Killigrew rather on-
reasonable ; come now ! 
I tellyou, Mr. Barber-
Don't mister me, call me plain Joe, I don't
waist no handle onto my iame.
Well, then, I tell you, Joe, you don't know
that rascal, he's bound for to keep ahead of us
all, and for to keep us down.
Don t b'lieve in that doctrine, one man don't
keep another down if its into him for to go up-
but it's going to rain, as you said, so let's to
work.   And thrashing his goad across the
fly-bitten shoulders of the oxen, that stood with
drooping faces and mired to their bellies -in
the pit, wherein they had been treading all the
morning, he cried, Come 'long, Back! come
'long, Bright?  and, pulling their legs slowly
out of the stiffened mortar, they begnu their
weary round.
 Hold on! exclaims Hill, I want to
bring you to your senses about this Killigrew-
you're about half blind, but I think the scales
would fall from your eyes, if I was to tell you a
thing or two! Will you hear, or no ?
Hain't the time to spare now--gee 'long,
Buck !-gee 'long, Bright !
Hill jerbed tlie goad from the hand of his
friend, and striking it across the honest faces
of the oxen, brought them to a sudden halt.
Poor beasts!-man had joined them together
contrary to the wise intimations of nature. One
had long legs, the other short ; one bad horns,
of the longest and broadest, the other had no
horns ; one was lean, the other fat; one .black
and the other white. Even the rude man, who
had'struck them so wantonly, seemed to catch
some faint perception of the unfitness of things,
and to be moved with coarse compassion as he
saw them standing there so mismatched, fetch-
ing short breath and lolling their tougues, for,
litting.his hand,' he sprang it like a trap against
the quivering side of one of them, and then with
his fingers combed away the loosened hair  and
murdered flies.
, In the first place, Hill began, what busi-
ness has old Killigrew to be away at this time o'
day? its half an hour late.
Not so much, and besides, he isn't the only
one that's away. Mr. Smith isn't here.
 Well, sirl-Smith has got a right for to do
perty much as lie pleases I I hain't got a word
to say agin Mr. Smith, be's gbt capital to back
him-but old Sime Killigrew. Lord ! 
Its essy to say that, but I don't see that it
means much.
,It.means This much, Joe, it mesas that I
hate him with the profoundest hatred-that's
what I
No love lost, I reckon.
,Well, sir. I don't want none for to be lost.
