Hast though witness’d the angels’ bright em- ploy ? Then mayst thou spoak of a mother’s joy. Evening and morn hast thou watched the bee Go fo; th on her errands of industry ? The bee for himself hath gath’rd and toil’d, But the mother’s cares are all for her child. Hast thou gono with the traveller’s Thought afarâ€" From pole to pole, and from star to star ? Thou hastâ€"but on ocean, earth, and sea, The heart of a mother has gone with thee. There is not a grand inspiring thought, There is not a truth by wisdom taught, There is not a feeling pure and high That may not be read in a mother’s eye. And over, since earth began, that look Has been to the wise an open book, To win them back from tho lore they prize To tho holier love that edifies. There are teachings in earth, and sky, and air ; The heavens tho glory of God declaro ; But louder than voice beneath, above, He is heard to speak through a mother’s love. THE POT OF GOLD.

SKENE neighbor would have been propose changing her MILL, WRIGHT, ALTONA, B1 Deacon Bancroft, though a very good man in the main, and looked up to with respect by all the inhabi- tants of the village of Centrcvillc, was rumored to have, in Yankee parlance, “a pretty sharp eye to the main chance”â€" a pecularity from which deacons arc not always exempt. In wordly matters he was deci- dedly well to do, inherited a fine farm from his father, which was growing yearly more valuable. It might be imagined that under these circumstances, the deacon, who was fully able to do so, would have found a helpmate to share his house and name. But the deacon was wary. Matrimony Was to him in some measure a matter of money, and it as his firm resolve never to marry unless he could thereby en- hance his wordly prosperity. Un- happily, the little villiage of Center- ville, and the towns in the imme- SiiLL 1 diate vicinity, contained few who were qualified in this important particular, and of those there were probably none with whom the deacon’s suit would have prospered. So it happened that year after year passed away until Deacon Bancroft wras in the prime of life, forty five or thereaboutsâ€" and still unmarried, and in all human pro- bability likely to remain so. Deacon Bancroft’s nearest neigh- bor was a widow. The widow Wells, who had passed through matrimonial experi ence, was a few years young jr than the Deacon. She was still a good looking woman. Unfortunately the late Mr. Wells had not been able to save sufficient to make her indepen- dent. AH that she possessed was a small old fashioned house which was not sufficient to support her, and a little son of seven, though hardly to be classed as ‘ productive’ of anything but mischief. The widow was therefore obliged to take three or four boarders, to eke out the scanty income, which of couicc imposed upon her a good deal of anxiety and labor. It is not surprising, then, that under these circumstances she should now and then have be- thought herself of a second marriage as a method of bettering her con- dition. Or again-need we esteem it a special wonder, if, in her reflections, upon this point she should have cast her eyes npon her neighbor, the Deacon. The Deacon, as we have already said, was in flourishing circumstances. He would be able to maintain a w'ife in great comfort ; and being one of the chict personages in the village, could accord her a prominent social position. Some sagacious person has ob- served, however, that it takes two EGS to intimate that he is now pre- pared to erect MILLS of every description, by contract or otherwise, on maj{e a match, a fact to be Seri reasonable terms. Ho is also agent for some of the best Foundrys in Canada. All contract jobs warranted from three to six months. From thirteen years’ experience he hopes to give general satisfaction. Altona. August 20. 1858. 63-Gm ously considered; for in the present case it was very doubtful whether the worthy deacon, even if he had known the favorable opinion of his next inclined to name to Bancroft, unless, indeed, a suitable motive was brought to bear upon him. Here was a chance for finnacing. One evening, after a day of tiresome labor, ihe widow Wells sat at the fire in the sitting room, with her feet resting on the fender. ‘ If I ever am so situated as not to have to work so hard,’ she murmur- ed, ‘ I shall be happy. It’s a hard life, keeping boarders. If 1 was only as wrell off as Deacon Ban- croft.’---- Still Ihe widow kept up her think- ing, and by-and-bv her face bright- ened up. She had an idea, which she resolved to put into execution at the very earliest practical mo- ment.â€"What it was tnc reader will discover in the sequel. â-  Henry’ said she to her son the next morning, • I want you to stop at Deacon Bancroft’s as you go to school, and ask him if he will call and see me in the course of the morning, if he finds it convenient.’ Deacon Bancroft was not a little surprised at the summons. How- ever, about ten o’clock, he called in. The widow was sewing. She appeared somewhat embarrassed. ‘Henry told me that you would like to sec me,’ he commenced. ‘ Yes, Deacon Bancroft, I do, but I am very much afraid you will think very strange of itâ€"at least of what 1 have to say to you.’ The Deacon very politely promis- ed not to be surprised,although at the same time his curiosity was visibly exe'ted. * Suppose,’ said the widow, cast- ing down her eyesâ€"‘mind, I am only supposing the caseâ€"suppose a person should find a pot of gold pieces in their cellar, would the law have a right to touch it, or would it belong to them V The deacon pricked up his ears. * A pot of gold pieces, widow ! Why, unquestionably, the law would have nothing to with it.’ ‘ And the one who formerly owned the house, couldn’t come forward and claim it,â€"could he, deacon,’ inquired the widow,further with great anxiety. * No,madam, certainly notâ€"when the house was disposed of, every- thing went with it, as a matter of course.’ 41 am glad to hear it, deacon. You won t think strange of the question, but il happened to occur to my mind, and I thought I would like to have it satisfied.’ ‘ Certainly, widow, certainly,’ said the deacon, abstractedly. ‘ And deacon, as you are here? I hope you’ll stop to dinner with us. It will be ready punctually at twelve.’ ‘ Well, no,’ said the deacon, I’m obleeged to ye, but they will be expecting me home.’ 4 At any rate, deacon,’ said the widow, taking a steaming mince pie from the oven, ‘you won’t object to taking a piece of my mince pies.’ The warm pie sent forth such a delicious odor, that the deacon was sorely tempted, and after saying, 4 Well, really,’ with the intention of refusing, he finished by saying ‘ On the whole, I guess I will, as it looks so nice.’ The widow wras really a good cook, and the deacon ate with much gusto the generous slice the widow cut for him ; and after a little more chatting upon important subjects withdrew in some mental perplexity. 4 Was it possible,’ thought he, ‘ that the widow could really have found a pot of gold in her cellar? She did not say so, to be sure, but why should she show so much anxiety to know as to the proprie- torship of treasure thus found, if she had not happened upon some V To be sure, as far as his knowledge extended, there was no one who would be in the least likely to lay up such an amount of gold ; but the house was one hundred and fifty years old, at the very least, and undoubtedly had many occupants of which he knew nothing. It might bo after all. The widow’s earnest desire to have him think it was only curiosity likewise gave additional probability to the supposition. ‘ I will wait and wTatch,’ thought the deacon. It so happened that Deacon Ban- croft was one of the directors in a Saving’s Institution, situated in the next town, and accordingly used to ride over there onec or twice a month, to attend meetings of the Board. On the next occasion of this kind, Widow Wells sent over to know ii he could carry her over with him, as she had a little business to attend to there. The request was readily ac- corded. Arrived in town, Mrs. Wells requested to be set down at the bank. ‘Ila, ha!’ thought the deacon ; 4 that means something.’ He said nothing, however, but determined to come back, and find out, as he could readily, from the cashier, what business she had with the bank. The widow tripped into the of- fice looking very nonchalant. ‘Can you give me small bills for a five dollar gold piece V she in- quired. 4 With pleasure,’ was the reply. ‘ Bv the way,’ said she, 4 the bank is in quite a flourishing condi- tion, is it not V 4 None in the State on a better footing,’ was the prompt response. 4 You receive as high asâ€"as five O thousand dollars? 4 No,’ said the cashier, with some surprise ; 4 or rather w’e do not al- ow interest on so large a sum.â€" One thousand dollars i3 our limit,â€" Did you know of any one who----------- 4 It is of no consequence,’ said the widow hurriedly, but I asked for curiosity. By the way, d d you say how much interest you al- lowed on such deposits as come within your limit ?’ ‘ Five per cent per annum.’ 4 Thank you, I only asked for cu- riosity.â€"What a beautiful morning it is r And the widow tripped lightly out. Shortly afterwards the deaeon entered. 1 How is business now, Mr. Cashier ?’ he asked. 4 About as usual.’ ‘ None of any magnitude.’ 41 brought over a lady this morn- ing who seemed to have business with vou.’ ‘ The Widow Wells?’ ‘ Yes.’ ‘ Do you know,’ asked tho cash- ier, 4 whether she has had money left her lately ?’ * None that I know of,’ said the deacon, pricking up his ears,â€" ‘ Why ? Did she deposit any ?’ 4 No ; but she inquired whether we received deposits as high as $5,000.’ 4 Indeed 1’ ejaculated the dea- con. ‘ Was that all she came for?’ he inquired a moment afterwards. ‘ No ; she exchanged a gold piece for some bills.’ ‘ Ha 1’ pondered the deacon, re- flectively, 4 did she give any reason ior inquiring V 1 No,’ she said she only asked from curiosity.’ The deacon left the bank in deep thought. He came to the conclusion that this 4 curiosity ’ only veiled a deeper motive. He no longer entertained a doubt that the widow had actually found a pot of gold in her cellar, and ap- pearances seemed to indicate that its probable value was $5,000.â€" The gold piece which she had ex- changed seemed to confirm the sup- position.’ 41 rather think,’ said the deacon complacently, ‘ I can sec into a millstone about as far as most peo- ple,â€"a statement, the literal truth of which I defy any one to question, though as to the prime fact of peo- ple’s being able to see into a mill- stone at all, doubts have now and then intruded themselves upon my mind. Next Sunday the Widow Wells! appeared at church in a new and stylish bonnet, which led to such i remarks as theseâ€" 4 How much vanity some people have, to be sure 1’ 4 How a woman that has to keep boardei's for a living, can afford to dash out with such a bonnet is more than I can understand 1 I should think she was old enough to know better f This last remark was made by a lady just six months younger than the widow7, whose attempts to catch a husband had hitherto proved unavailing. 41 suppose,’ continued the same young lady, ‘ she is trying to catch a second husband with her finery. Before I would condescend to such means I’dâ€"I’d drown myself.’ In this last amiable speech the young lady had unwittingly hit upon the true motive. The widow | was intent upon catching Deacon Bancroft, and she indulged in a costly bonnet, not because she supposed he would be caught with finery, but because this /^ould strengthen in his mind the idea that she had stumbled upon hidden wealth. . ! ! â-  The widow had calculated shrewdly, and the display had the effect she anticipated. Monday afternoon, Deacon Ban- croft found an errand that called him over to the widow’s. It chanced to be about tea-time. He was importuned to stay to tea, and, somewhat to his surprise, actually J i cl - The polite widow, who knew the deacon’s weak point, brought on one of her best mince pies, a slicO of which her guest partook-of with great zest. ‘ You'll take another piece, I know,’ said she, persuasively. 4 Really, I am ashamed,’ said the deacon, and he passed his plate. ‘ The fact is, he said apologetically, £ your pies are so nice I don’t know where to stop.’ %.-»+ , ‘ Do you call these nice,’ said the widow, modestly. ‘I only call them common. I can make mince pics, when I set out to, but this time I didn’t have as good luck as is usual.’ ‘ I shouldn’t want any better,’ said the deacon, emphatically. ‘ Then I hope if you like them, you’ll drop into tea often. Wu ought to be more neighborly, dea- con.’ Deacon Bancroft assented, and he meant what he said. The fact is, the deacon began to think the widow was a very charming wo- man. She was very comely, and she wras such an excellent cook! Besides, he had no doubt in his own mind that she was worth a considerable sum of money. What objection could there be to her be- coming Mrs. Bancroft ? He brought this question before her one even- ing. The widow blushed, professed to be greatly surprisedâ€"in fact she had never thought of the thing in her lifeâ€"but, on the whole, she had thought highly of the deacon, and to cut short the matter, ac- cepted him. A month afterwards she was in- stalled as mistress of the deacon’s large house, somewhat to the prise of the village people, could not conceive how she brought him over. Some weeks after the ceremony the deacon ventured to enquire about the pot of gold which she had found in the cellar. • Pot of gold 1’ she exclaimed in surprise, 4 1 know of none.’ ‘ But,’ said the deacon discon- ce rtcd ; 4 I do know you asked me about whether the owners could claim it.’ * O, lor ! deacon, I only asked from curiosity.’ ‘ And was that the reason you made enquiries at the bank?’ 4 Certainly. What else could it be?’ The deacon went out to the barn, and about half an hour sat in silent meditation. At the end of that time, he ejaculated, as a closing consideration, 4 After all she makes good mince pies !’ It gives me pleasure to state that the marriage between the deacon and the widow was a very happy one, although to the end of his life, he never could quite understand about ‘ That Pot of Gold.’ sur* who had DEAD-IIEADS. Railroads occasionally complain of dead-heading but no Institution suffers so much from it as the Press. A sensible writer says : 44 The Press endures the infliction cf dead-headism from the pulpit, the bar and the stage ; from corpora- tions, societies and individuals, it is expected to yield its interest ; it is required to give strength to weak institutions : eyes to the blind : clothes to the naked, and bread to the hungry; it is asked to cover up infirmities, hide weakness, and wink at improprieties ; it is expected to herald quacks. bolster up dull authors, and flatter the vain; it is, in short, to be all things to all men ; and if it looks for pay or reward, it is denounced as mean and sordid. There is no interest under the whole heavens that is expected to give as much to society without pay or thanks as the press.’ Common Sense Young Ladies. â€" If young ladies only knew it, they would be making themselves far more attractive in the e\es of sensi- ble persons of the other sex, by a little labor, than by a mawkish impression that they are above work. Young men of brains while of course despising that slavery which would continually keep the ladies at the wash-stand or at the sewing tabic, without amusement or relaxation at all, love to see a desire in young ladies to make themselves useful, and in selecting a wife would vastly prefer such a one. It is all a mistaken point that ladies need be dressed in .iurs, silk and feathers to win the admiration of young men. We know of half a dozen renowned men who fell in love with their wives when dressed in the plainest clothing.
