MAUI) W V LLEIl. jonn o. wniTTiK. Maud Muller. on a fine summer's day, Haked tho meadow, sweet with hay. r torn hat plowed tho wealth Of simplo beauty and rustle health. Singing, she wrought, and her -merry gloo The mock-bird echoed irom b But, when she glanced to the far-off town, Whtto from'its hill-slopo looking down. The sweet song died, and a vago unrest And a nameless longing filled her breast A wish that she hardly dared to own, For something better than sne ttau anown. The Judge rodo slowly down the lane, Smoothing his horso chestnut mane, And dipw his bridle in the shad Of the aple tree to greet the, maid. And ak a draught from the spring that flowed, Through the meadow across tjhe road. She stooped where the cool spring bubbled up And filled for him her small tin cup. And blushed as she gave it, looking down On her feet so bare and her tattered gown. "Thnnks !" said tho Judge, "a sweeter draught From a fairer hand was never quaffed." He spoke of the grass and flowers and trees. Of the sing birds and the humming bees ; They talked of the haying, and wondered whethor The cloud tn tho west wouia bring luui wcataer. And Maud forgot her brier-torn gown, Andher graceful ankles baro and brown; And listened, while a pleased surprise Looked from her leng-luhed haxel eyes. At last, like one who fordelay Seeks a vain excuse, he rode away. Maud Muller looked, and sighed : "Ah, me! That I the Judge's bride might bo I He would dress me up in silk so fine, And praise and tout me at his wine. My father should wear a broadcloth coat; My brother should sail a painted boat. . I'd dress my mother so grand and gay, And the baby should have a new toy each day. And I'd feed the hungry and clothe the poor, And all thould bless me who left our door." The Judge looked back as he climbed the bill. And saw Maud Muller standing etilL "A form more fair, a fare more wect, E'er hath it been my c banco to meet ; "And her modest answer, and graceful air Show her wise and good as she is fair. Would she were mine, and I to-day, Like her, a harvester of hay; No doubtful balance of rights and wrongs, Nor wary lawyers with endless tongues, Eat low cf cattle and song of birds, And health aud quiet and loving words. But be thought of bis sisters proud and cold. An 1 LLs mother vain of h-r tank an I gold. So. closing his heart, the Jude rodo on. An i Maud was left in the fiVl 1 alone. But the lawyers smiled that afternoon, WLcn he bummed in court an old love-tune ; And tic young girl muse 1 beside the well, Till the rain on the unraked clover fell. He wedded a wife of richest dower. Who lived for fashion, as he for power. Yet of oft in his marble health's bright glow, He watched the bright picture come and go ; And sweet Maud Mailer's baicl eyes Looked out in their innocent surprise. Oft when the wine in his glass was red. He longed for the wayside well iaetead; And closed his eyes on bis garnished rooms, To dream of meadows and clover blooms. And the proud man sighed, with secret pain ; "Ah, that I were free again ! Free as when I rode that day. Where the barefoot maiden raked her hay." She wedded a man unlearned and poor. And many children played round her door. Bat care and sorrow, and childbirth pain, Lent their traces on heart and brain. And oft, when the summer sun shone hot On the new mown bay in tho meadow lot. And she heard tho little spring-brook fall Over the rovdsidc, through the wall, In the shade of the apple tree again She saw a rider draw his rein, And gazing down with timid glance. She felt his pleased eyes read her face. Sometimes her narrow kitchen walls Stretched away into stately halls ; The weary wheel to a spinnet turned. The tallow candlo an astral burned. And for him who sat by the chimney lor, Dozing and grumbling over pipe and mug, A manly form at her side she saw, And joy was duty and love was law. Then she took np her burden of life again Saying only, "It might have been." Alas for maiden, alas for Judge, For rich refiner and household drudge 1 God pity them both ! and pity us all, Who vainly the dreams of youth rccalL For of all sad words of tongue or pen, J. tie saddest are these : "It might have been V Ah, well I for ns all some hope lies Deeply buried from human eyes ; And in the hereafter angels may Boll the stone from its grave away. No Snakes. The Hawaiian Lcoisla- ture, says the Butte Record, has ordered a bill engrossed which prohibits the intro- duction into that kingdom of venomous reptiles. It appears that Dr. Hillebran, sent as a special commissioner to China and the East Indies, to procure coolies, reports that ho saw in Java snakes which were used by the natives as rat-catchers The Sandwich Islands are infested with rats ; but, as in Ireland, there is not a snake to be found.

Tho following pretty lit tie story is nar rated by Frcderika Frcuicr, who vouches for its truthfulness : In tho University of tlnsalo, in Swe den, lived a young ntudont, a noble yonth, with great lovo lor ntudy, but without tho means of pursuing them. Ho was poor, and without connection. Still ho stud ied, lived in great poverty, but keeping a cheerful heart, aud trying to look at the luturo which looked no grim to him. His good humor and excellent qualities made him beloved by his comrades. One day he was standing at the square with somo of them, prattling an hour of leis ure, when the attention of the young man became arrested by a young and ex cellent lady, who, by tho side of an elder one, was slowly walkiug over tho place. It was the daughter of the (lovernor ox Upsala, living in tho city, and tho lady was her governess. She was generally known for her gootlnt sn and gentleness of character, and was looked at with admira tion by the students. As tho young men stood gazing at ht'r as she punned, like a graceful vision, one of them suddeuly ex claimed 'Well, it would be worth something to have a kiss from such a month !" 1 lie poor student, toe hero ol our story, who looked on that pure, angelic lace, exclaimed, as if by inspiration : "Well, I think I could have it." "Well," cried his friends in a chorus, "are you crazy ' Do you know the young lady ".Not at all" answered he; "but I think she would kbs me if I should sutk her." "What ! in this place aud before all our eyes : A a a "Yes." "Freely?" "Ves, freely." "Well, if she will rivc vou a ki.s in that manner. I will civc vou a thoiwan! dollars, exclaimed one. "And I :" "and I !" cxrlaimcl three or luur others, for it hantKMicl that never al rich men were in tho proup, and the beta ran iujh on mo improhahlo an event The challenge wa made and accented in I less time than we take to t-l it. . . ...

Tho youn lady listened attentively, and, at hia ceasmir to n-cak. she faid. iblashinjrly, but with jrreat fcwtctnesa: "If by jo little a thins o much irood can be effected, it would be foolish for me to refuse your request;" and publicly, in the open square, hhe kivsed him. Tho next day the student was sent for by the Governor. He wanted to sec the man who dared to seek a kii from 1m daughter in that way, and whom ahc con sented to kiss. He received him with a scrutinizing bow, but, after an hour's conversation, was so pleaded with him that he ordered him to dine at his tabic durinir his .studies at ITpsala. Our younpr friend pursued hi studies in such a manner that it Boon made him regarded as the most promising student in the l!niversitv. Three years were now passed since the firt kif-s, when tho younpj man was al lowed to give the second kiss to the Gov ernor's daughter as his wife. He became later one of the most noted scholars in Sweden, and was much re spected for his character. His works i will endure, while time lxsts, among the works of science ; and from this happy union sprung a family well known in Sweden at the present time, whose wealth and high position in society arc regarded as trifles in comparison with its goodness and love. A Scientific Hun. A patron of a village newspaper once said to the pub lisher : "Mr. Printer, how is it you have nev er called on me for your paper?" Oh," said the man of types," wc never ask a gentleman lor money. "Indeed, replied his patron, "then how do you manage to get along when they don t pay ( "W hy " said the editor, "after a cer tain time we conclude that a man who fails to pay for hia paper is not a gentle man, and then we ask him." "Oh, ah, yes ! I sec. Mr. printer, please give mo a receipt, fhands him four dollars, and make my all right on the books."

CltAVTKR THE ONE. "I'll steal the heart of tho old man's durtcr." rOld-fcllovr. A yountj grocer of good character and correct habits, commenced business in a good and improved neighborhood. His stock was small, as wcro his means, and his stock of customers still smaller. His sales hardly met his expenses, and ho was evidently going "down hill," and an old grocer, on tho opposito corner, predicted that ho would soon be at too bottom. Tho vounc trrocer had reason to retrret this opinion of the old grocer, as will ap pear. Tho latter had a daughter that had won tho heart of the former. Ho offered himself to her and was rejected. It was done, however, with tho asuuranco that ho was tho man of her choice, that she acted in obedience to her. lSuler'a com- mands. Assured of tho affections of tho women of his choice, he sets himself about re moving the obstacles in tho way of their union tho father's objection to his pecu niary prospects. CHAlTElt TWOTIILY. A "presto chanjrc" comes over them both. Deservedly anonymous. A year elapsed, and lo ! what a change ! I he young grocer now going up hill with the power of a steam locomotive, costom- crs flocked to his store from all quarters, aud even many had loll tho old establish ed stand on the opposite corner, for tho young favorite. J hero was a mystery about it which puzzled tho old grocer sorely, and which he could not unravel. He at length became nearly sick with losses and aggravations and with vain at tempts to discover tho secret of hw neigh bor's success. CllAITElt THREE. "I'll relent come to my arms." Never written. At this juncture, Angelica (for that was the daughter's name) contrived to bring about an apparently accidental in terview between the parties. After the man had become, through the interven tioti of the daughter, tolerably good hu m red, he inquired with great earnestness of the yrung man how he had contrived to t fleet so much in a single year, to thus exteud his huMtie-s and draw off the cos tomcrs from the older stands? The young man evaded an answer, bu inquired if he had an further objection to Ins union with Auirclica "None," replied he, "provided you rc veal the secret of your great success to me. This th: youn man nr "mucd, when his haiiiiu's made couitdctc. The old man commended his prudence on Uiat toint. The affair wa all m;ttled, and t-ho mar riage soon took place. CHAPTER rot'RLT.

More careful perusal has excited misgiv ings, cue says (wje JJuilctin) : "Partner A lady lady lately from the East, and possessing capital, would like to enter into partnership with a gen tleman in any good paying business where the 8crvices of a lady partner would be required." There arc sevcrai points about it which we like. First, a partner; wo like a part ner. Second, a lady j we arc notoriously partial to a lady. Third, lately from the East; we prefer them lately from tho hast, fourth, possessing property: now, if thero is one thing which, more than another, excites in us a lively sense of af fection ato regard, it is capital! tifth, would liko to enter into partnership with a gentleman : that is us. sixth, in a bust ness ; wo moan business, seventh, in which the services of a lady are required: tho services of a lady are required. Eighth, which shall be "good" ; Madam, "good" is no word for it I Ninth, and last, it must pay I Ho there is but the single question: Will it "pay?" The desirability of creating a properly edited female department in tho News Letter is obvious, and there is, of course, no ques tion that a share of its present enormous profits (our income tax last year being $12,100 sco list) would magnificently "pay" the lady. But would it pay us to possess tho lady 7 Wo will reflect over it.

The Minister delivered to his Maccsty the reply of tho Kin of 1'russia to the rrench note dc an cxtcntion of the frontier of the Em pire to tho Rhine. Tho State paper de- clarcs that the demand is madmissable, a and that Prussia will not accede to it.

In no other countrv than this. ?av tho New York h'unday Mercury, could audi an assemblage convene as that which as sembled recently in Philadelphia. Any where else the majority of them would have been in the penitentiary and lunatic asylum. The character of the member and the tone of the proceedings were in perfect harmony, ocedy parsons without flocks, thrcad-baro and played-out politi cians longing for the spoils they bind to relinquish; Jong-haired fanatics whojthink the world is out of joint because their di gestive organs are torpid and biliary se cretions in a state of stagnation ; fe males who would have been men but for an er ror of nature, and disgrace the sex ivbich has the mis fortune to claim their amnity who unite the coarse indelicacy c f tho male sex with the infirmity of judgment of the other; and, in short, the odjU and ends of creation, which nature amnios herself by manufacturing out of the khrcds and clippings of humanity. Their' abuso of the Prcnident would turn the stomach -of a Billingsgate fishworaan, and their blasphemous ribaldry make the bones of J om Paine rattle in his coran. One of them declared that Theodore Til ton was Hecond edition of Christ, which was lailed with general acclamation. Inmates of Bedlam often imagine them.-.clve?i kings and queens, but it is rarely that de moralized insanity imagines itself to bo a person of the Trinity. The fact is, that many of the attendants on the Convention are more in want ot medical treatment than an extension of the elective fran chise. To have their scalps traversed y a keen razor, followed by an application of the shower-bath or a bluster, would tend, to harmonize their ideas, and render them ess revolting to commen sense and offen sive to common decency. The Indian Without Poetical E M u eli s H m enth. A correspond e n t , one who has been to the "Far West," has seen the noble Indian, and been hunted by him, writes : "Much has been piid by poets and romantic young ladies, about the picturesque aspect and. noble form of an untamed, untamable warrior cf tho prairie, and far be it from me to gainsay them. An Indian is a noble spectacle in a picture or at a safe distance but when this "noble spectacle," in common with a dozen other "noble spectacles, is moving his moccasins in your direction, and you have to do some tall walking in order to keep the capillary suostince on the summit of your cranium, all his 'no bility" vanishes, and you see him only a painted, greasy miscreant, who win. it you will give him a chance, lift your hair with the Fame Christam spirit, composed and serene, with which he would ak an other "spectacle for a little more ot that roast dog. I used to think like the poets ; now the sight of an Indian gives me cramp in the fctomache." Tnr. Bible. Upon every reading, the Bible grows more and more precious. The variety and antiquity of its history, the light it affords in various researches, its inimitable touches of nature with the sublimity and beauty of its ascriptions and appeals, constitute by no means its chief charm; but the accomplishment of its prophecies, the splendor of its miracles, the attestation of its martyrs, the consis tency of its doctrines, the importance of its facts, the plentitude of its precepts, the treasury of its promise, the point of its truths, the pertinency of its applica tions, the abundance of its comforts, the proportion and symmetry of its parts, present such a fund of instruction to the mind, light to the path, assurance to tho heart and aspiration to the soul, that it is deplorable to know that its covers aro so seldom opened, its pages so rarely con sulted.

Parsons, who seceded fron the Meth odist Church South, somo years siuce, on account of his Northern proclivities, is again before the publio. It appears Fred. Turner, of New Albany, Indiana, brought an action against him for alleged criminality with his wife. The suit was farmally withdrawn by the preacher pay ing a thousand dollars or more, and costs. Parsons has been a ranting, canting preacher for many years, but has made less reputation than, by his melodramatic acting in his vounger years.
