True of the changing leaf, and dying flower; Of all the seasons we with joy do greet, Throughout the passing year, for solemn thought And fancies sweet and sad, thou art most meet. L look upon thy woods, clad in rich robes Of gold, and,purple, red, and rus-et brown, So bright, the sunshine seems upon them shed, Even when skies above do darkly frown. I watch the leaves, loosened at last from life. Fall slowly, one by one, without a sound, ‘To mingle with their sisters, ofte Sb fair, Now lying deadand withered on the ground And in each leaf, each changing, dying leaf, I read a tale of life, so like my own, Ican but take a lesson to my heart, And think, soon shall my life, like theirs be flown. ; I do not shrink from death, for I hire lenaned That life is not all Joy and sunshine here; The fair yay dreams of youth haye passed away; And I have brighter hopes beyond this sphere. But oh, [ do not want to die, to breathe My last sigh outin death's cold chill em- brace, When Spring, bright Spring, is flinging o'er the earth A wondrous spell of loveliness and grace ; Ah no, not then, when balmy breezes float Above, around, with richest blessing rife ; I would not fade away and be forgot, When all things else are springing into life. In Autuinn let me die; that Autumn winds Their mournful dirges o'er my grave may moan, And falling leaves around my tomb may rest, Murmuring low, ** Thou diest not alone.” Select Piterature. | THE ZOUAVE MIRACLE-WORKER. Onk of the lions of the day in Paris is 9 certain trombonist of the band of the Zouave Guard named Jacob, who is re ptited to cure all diseases by the mere agency of his will. The halt. the blind, the deaf, the palsied, the sick, and the dying went to him, betore the Govern- ment. stopped him, in actual mobs, and cune away, it is asserted, whole and well, without taking any medicine, or sabmit- tint operation, ‘Theeourt- yard ol he wouked his) time to. vivalt qrocdde la Roquette, where it matles, bade fair fo nous Cemetery of Medard. There to be daily s there almost as grea x crowd of cari: and pedestrians as were to be seen in the same neighborhood when a ciiminal was to be guillotined. Two hours betore the arrival of the Zouaye the court was throng ed with invalids, sitting, standing, and lying, who beguiled the time spent in widiing by relating stories of his cures 7% e-of policemen were always on hand to keep order. As the cured came out they were greeted with cheers by th: spectators, many of whom would climb to the tops ot the houses to get a nearer view, The manner in’ which his cures were effected and his miracles worked is thu- described by a correspondent of the Bir mingham (England) Gazelle, and, as th story of an ¢ witness, is well wortl perusal. He writes: The Zouave admits no one to his pre sence who is not really aflicted with dis- ease or infirmity, those who ed to the Rue de la Roquette by et ty being compelled to remain in the ing-room Fortunately I was furnished with a letter from his best {riend, and became priviluge | utonce, I entered the voom with twenty of the most ragged and dirty of the wiole mob, and am thas enabled to deseribe the whole scene. The Zourve was standing asif in a reverie when we entered, ps tl- mell, into the long, low apartment where the cures were performed, He was lean. ing against the, wall, with his eyes halt open, after the fashion of Somnambula b « fore entering completely into trance—thy only difference being in the intence light shot out from the living orbs beneath the drooping eyelids. He neither spoke nor moved while his father basied himself in arranging the visitors upon the low wood- en benches before him, Every erateh and stick Was trken from the infirm patients, and placed in the corner behind the door, amidst the timid whines of the poor frightened creatures, accustomed to: look upon the help afforded by these olyjeets ax absolutely necessary to their safety. When all. were. seated thus, leaning the one against the other, the father. going close up to the son, whispered in his ear, He was aroused in a moment, and éoming forward with a moyement brusque and hurried, savoring of the militury camp, and not in the least of the solemnity of the magician’ sanctuary, he walked up and down for 2 few miautes belore the eager line of sufferers. ‘To each he told the disease under which he or she was sulfer- ing, and the origit of the malady ; and as no object as made in any one case, 1 am led to suppose him to have been right in all, Presently, however, I ob served him to stop suddenly, and fix his eye upon one of the patients who sat at the extreme end ot the second bench, and alter examining him for a moment, turn de with a slight shudder, whieh I ob- lisgust nor dread, He said abruptly, pointing with his forefinger straight into the face of the individual he addressed: ‘Lean do nothing for your disease; it is beyond my powers go, and remember it ig useless to return.” This was all, but the words acted upon the man like a magic spell, He shook trom head to foot, like the aspen eal, and tried to gasp out a few words, but whether ol prayer or expostulation it is impossible to say, for his tongue seemed paralyzed and clung to the roof of his‘mouth, while the Zouave turned aside with an indescribable expression of fear, certainly indic: a kind of intimidation. But this was soon : served was neitier of ¢ : but a kind of involuntary recoil. shaken off, and again passed before the ‘ine, uttering simply the words, * Bise and walk!” ‘Lhe sound which simultane- ously broke from the assembly could find no fitting deseription in any linguage. It was a sort of moaning whine, a kind of infuntine wailing, «vidently produced by fear and doubt. One feeble old beggar- woman, whose head had stopped its palsied shaking from the moment the Zouave Jacob had tixeed his glittering upon her, was the one who gave exp m to the feeling which had tsken possession of them all. **Oh, how can I move without iny crutches?” and, having turned a yearn- ing look toward the corner where these olfriends and supporters were standing, with a host of others, she began to mumble and mon most piteously. But the Zouave looked for an instant down the line, with in ominous trewn on his brow, as he tound that not one of his patients had obeyed bis wders. No pretension to the sacred chia- vacter of & prophet or inspired seer was there, for he stamped with such rude yio- tence on the floor that the easement shook win, THe almost uttered an oath, but it was unfinished, as he onee more uttered the command to rise and walk, so that others might be admitted in their place. Chen came the mo t strange and mys- ierious moment of the whole ceremony. One by one did every individual seated apon those low wooden benches rise and stand erect. No words can describe the the singular spectacle offered by this fear ing, hoping, doubling crowd as each ong found himself standing firm upon the legs Which ior yeurs had ceased to do their ol- jive. Some laughed like foolish children, some remained wrapped in stolid wonder, while many burst into the most heart-rend- ing paroxysin of weeping, It was then that the Zouave stretched forth his arm and Dade them pause. All was hushed and silent for amoment. ‘The pause listed for stime. L have been told that itis al- 3sv, but have not been able to account tor its necessity; and then the door was thrown epen, aid the crippled and the paralyzed, the halt and the lame of the nour before, walked trom that long, low, halt-darkened chamber, with somewhat timid gait, it may be, but with s ytened limbs and measured steps, as though no ailment had ever reached them. One or two among the number turned to thank ibeir deliver, but the Zouave dismissed them brutally. **Be olf; don’t stand suilly:shally. Vou are cured, ain't you 2— ihals chough—now picltez mot le camp !” in plain English, **Cut your stick, and begone 1” Betore leaving the room I tuta ad to look at the single patient whose case Jacob had pronocuced to be beyoud his power to cure—the mia was paralyzed in yoth arms, and his neck twisted all awry. tt was # hang-dog + ouulenance—worse than any Lever bebeld—and the expression rage, and hate, and tear which it) eou- veyed wits nomistakeable, His feet were paratyzed likewise dud taurucd outw Phe Zouave’s father searched among the sticks and crutches lettin the corner for those which belonged to the only cripple lestined to remain so, and as be toucued wach one, looked with inquiring ghince to- d the unbappy teh, Who answered with an awkwiad jerk of his wiry peek, until he seized upon a sort of wooden shelf or gwo-cart pon Wheels, Which the cripple had been used to push belore him.

ENTERS Sniowiateminer a ANECDOTES OF QUEEN VIC- JORIA, ici The following anecdotes of Queen Vie- toria, from the Chicago Advance, the new organ of Northwestern Congregationalism the pen of Grace Greenwood :— are from When L wag in England I heard several pleasant anecdotes ol the Queen, and her iamily, trom a lady who received then ivou her friend, the governess of the reyal children, ‘This governess, a very intetest- ing young lady, was the orphan daughter ota Scottish clergyman, Daring the first year of her residence at Windsor, her nother died. When. sho first received news of her serious filness, she applied to the Queen tor permission to resign her situation, feeling that to her mother she owed amore sacred duty than even to her Sovereign. ‘The Queen, who had been inuch pleased with her, would nog hear ol her making this sacrifice, but sa in a note of the mdst geutle sympathy once to your mother, ehild; stay with her as long as she needs you, and then come back to us, I will Keep your place for you, Prince Albert and F will hear the Ghiidren’s lessons; so in any event let your mind be at gest in regard to your pu- pile.” ‘Lhe governess went, and had eoveral wecks of sweet, mourntal communion with g¢ mother:—then, when she had her dyiug gocn that dear form laid to sleep under the just whe daisies in the old kirk yard. ehe returned to the palace, where the loneliness of 109" grandeur would have oppressed ber sone rowing heart beyond endurance, had it not been for the gracious, womanly sym- pathy of the Queen, who came every day to hér schoolroom,—and the considerate kindness of her young pupils, A year went; the first anniversary of her great loss dawned upon her, and she was over- whelmed as never before by the utter loneliness of her grief She felt that no one in all that great household knew how much goodness and sweetness passed tua mortal life that very day a year ago—or eould give with her one tear, one thought, to that grave under the Scotttsh daisies. Every morning before breakfast, which the elder children took ‘with their father and mothe, in the pleusant crimson parlor looking out in the terrace at Windsor, her pupils came te the school room, for a ree ligiouy exercise. This morning, the voice of the governess trembled in reading the seripture for the day; some words of divine tenderness were too much for her poor, lonely, grieving heart—her strength gaye way, and laying her head on the desk betore her, she burst into tears—innr- muring, ‘Oh, Mother, Mother!” One after another the children stole out of the yoom and went to their mother, to tell her how sadly their governess was feeling; and that soft hearted monarch exclaiming. “Oh, poor girl! It is the anniversary of her mother’s death,” hurried to the school room, where she found Miss ** * strug gling to regain her composure. ‘My poor child,” she said, * J am sorry the children disturbed you this morning. I meant to have given orders that you should have this day entirely yourself, ‘Take it as asad and sacred holiday—I will hear the lessons of the children.” And then she added, ** ‘Po show you that ] have not forgotten this mournful anniversary, I bring you this gilt,” clasping on her arna an beautiful mourning bracelet, attached to which was a locket tor her mother's hair, marked with the date of that mother’s death. What wonder then that the orphan kissed with tears this gift and the more than royal hand that bestowed itt) Thia wits Victo fifteen yearsago; and I don't believe she has mortilly * advanced back- ward” since then, Another little aneedote which shows her simplicity of character and shrewdness of perception, was told ine by a gentleman that once enjoyed the pleasure of a very informal interview with her, under rather peculiar circumstances, My friend, Mr. W.*** isa person of very artistic tistes —\ passionate picture lover. He had sven all the great paintings in the public galler- ies of London, and had a strong desire to sve those of Buckingham Palace, which, that not being a show-house, were inave vessible to an ordinary connisseur. Fors tune favored him at last. J1e was the bro- ther of 2 London carpet merchant, who had an order to put down new carpets in ‘Tthe state apartments of the Palace—and so it chanced that the temptation came to my iriend to put on a workman’s blouse, and thusyuter the royal precincts, while the Hag indicating the presence of the august tumily iloated defiantly over the roof, So he effeeted an entranecs, and when with in the royal hall, dropped his assumed character, and devoted himself to the pics tures. one of the apartment had left, and when qu came tripping in, wearing « plain white It happened that he remained in ter the workmen alone, the Queer morning dress, and followed by two or ed through the pl fh and terrible effet imaginable, 1 subse- three ol her young children, dressed with queatly inquired of the Zou by alike simplicity. She approached te sup- ‘ if posed workman and siid—"* Pray ean you teil me when the new carpet will be put down in the Privy Council Chamber?” and he thinking he had no right to appear to recoguize the Queen ander the cireumstan- ‘es, repligd—"* Really, madam, cannot —but 1 will inquire.” ‘ Stay,” she said abruptly, bet not unkindly, ** who are you? Tperceive that you ave not one of the workmen.” Mr. ***, blushing and stammering somewhat, yet made a clean breast ol it and told tle simple trath, he Queen seemed much amused with his ruse, and tor the sake of bis love for art, forgave it —then added, smiling, ** Eknew, lov ail your dress, that you were a gentleman, because you did not ‘your Majesty’ me. Pray look at the pictures as long as you will, Goodimoruing $< Come, Chicks, wo must go.” Another auecdoty illustrating Victoria's adiravle good sense and strict domestio discipline came to me dircetly from one who Witnessed the*occurrence. One day, when the Queen was-present in her car- tiage at a grand iilitary review, the Princess Royal, then rather a wilful gird of about thirteen, sitting on the front sent, seemed disposed te be rather fanriliar and coguettish with some young officers of the esvort, Her Majesty gaye several reproy- iigiooks, without avail. Atlength, in flirte iuggher handkerchiet over the side of tho carriage, she dropped it—too evidently nut accidentally... .dustantly two or three young heroes sprung trom their saddl lestu return it to her fain -hand—but the voices of royalty stiyed them, ‘Stop, gentle. men!” exelaimed the Queen—*leave it it lies. -New, my daughter, vet down and pick up your handkerchief,” Lhere was no help for it. The royal foots min let down the steps tor the littie royal iady, who proceeded to'lift vom the dust the pretty plece of cambric and lace, She vlushed a good deal, though she tossed L saucily, and wasdoubtless angry h; but the mortifying> lesson may }ipped in the bud of hor first impalss towards coquetry. It was hard, but it was whblesome, How many American mos thers would be equal to such w piece of Spartiu discipline, WHAT 18 AN OLD MAID? Never be atraid of becoming an: old maid, fair rendex. An old maid is far more honorable than a heartless wile; and * single Licssedness is greatly superior, in point ol happiness, to wedded lite withous ilove. ‘Fall notin love, dear girls—be- ware!” says the song. But we do not agree with said soug on this question. On the contrary, we hold that itis agood thing to fall in love, or get in fove, il the object be a worthy one, ‘To Iall ja love with ag honorable man is as proper as it is for sa honorable mau to fall in love withya Virtue oug and amiable woman; and what could be a more gratifying spvetacie than a rigla
