Written fur Tho Woeklj Kocordor A Tear Ago To-Nlght. Tve been waiting, watching for you down by the little gate. Where, just one year ago to-night, for you I came to wait. The olimbing rose is full of fiowersyabovo tho cottage door. The myrtle trails across the path as when we met before, And the silent stars are shining, as purely, ooldly bright Aa when wo parted at the gate, a gear ago to night And as we stood a year ago beneath the starry skies. And clasped each others hands, and gazed into each othors eyes, And said that nothing undor Heaven should e'er our hearts estrange , So wo bavo stood again to night, but, 01 our hearts ar e changed. With change that ne'er oan be unwrough t, foe O t it was not right That we should have parted at tho gate a year ago to-night. Its the time when Summer's last bright days to Autumn softly melt. With change so slight'tis scarcely marked, al most unseen, unfelt, And so it is our hearts have changed, so slight, yet not tho ramo Aa when to meet you a t th e gate a year ago I came, Griefs autumn on our youthful hearts- hath left Its withering blight, Since we parted at the little gate a year ago to-night. I bad thought that when thia»weary head was pillowed on yoor breast. And your lips as in the olden time upon my own woro pressed. And I heard your well remembered voice as sweet an d low, Aa when yon spoke tho lost good bye a t tho gate one year ago, Twould drive tho darkness from my way, and make my, heart as light, As when wo parted at th e gate a year ago lo- uight. But now I know that ne'or can bo my heart bath older crown. Sinoe you parted from me a t the gate, and loft me all alone, Grown old I yes, grown old with sorrow, not with tho weight of years,— Old with the age that comes of sin, and misery, and tears, The bloom and freshness of my youth forever took its flight When we parted at the little gate, a year ago to-night. O. the bud of hope hath withered, and the dream of youth is o'er, And the Joy an d gladness from m y heart have faded eveimore. And I clasp my hands to still toy heart's tu multuous beating when We sadly speak about th e past, and sigh \ it might have been,\ Tho future lies before us, bat it ne'er can seem as bright As when we parted at the j*ate a year ago to nicbt. EDENA. IOTSCEIXAKEOTJS. JUDGING FROM A.TPEAHANCES. \ Halloa, Limpy, the osrs wOl start in a mm nte; hurry up, o r we shall leave yon behind.\ The cars wero'waiting at a etatidh of one of onr western railroads. The baggage master was busy with his ohecks. Tbe men were hur rying to and fro with chests and valises, pack ages and trunks. Men, women and children were rushing for the cars, and hastily securing their seats, while the locoi ootive snorted, and Mowed, and puffed. A man, carelessly dressed, was standing on the platform of tbe depot Ho was looking •round him, and, seemingly, paid no attention to what was passing. It '>ras easy to seo that he was lame. At a hast y glance one might easily hare suppose that be was a man of neith er wealth no r influence. Tho condnctor gave him a contemptuous loot;, and slapping him familiarly on tbe shoulder, called out • \ Halloa, Limpy, better get aboard or tho ears wii] leave you behind.\ \Tim e enough, I reckon,\ replied tho indi vidual, and he retained his seemingly listless position. The last trunk was tumbled into the baggage car. \All aboard I\ cried the conductor. \Get onj Limpy I\ said h e as he passed th e lame, carelessly dressed moa. The lomo man made no reply. Just as th e train was slowly moving away, the lame man stepped on to tbe platform of the last car, an d walking in quietly took a seat. The train ba d moved on a few miles when th e conductor appeared at tbe door of th e car where our friend was sitting. Passing along he soon discovered the stranger wbom he had seen a t tbe station. \ Hand on t yonr money here.\ \I don't pay, \ replied the lamo man, vory quietly. \Don't pa y I\ -No, sir.\ \We'll see about that , I shall put jrou off at th e next station 1\ and h e seized tbe valise which TTSI on the rack over the head-of our friend. \Better not bo so rough, young man,\ re turned the Rtrangor Tho conductor released the carpot-bag for a moment, and Reeim; that he could do no more tliou liu passed on to collect tho fare from other passengers, and as be stopped at a seat a few paoes off, a gt-ntleman who had heard tlio con versation just mentioned, looked up a t tbe oon- duotor and asked hiiu \ Do you kuow to whom you wero speaking just now!\ * Ne. sir \ \That was Peter Warborton, tho President of the road.\ \Ar e you sure of that,\ replied the conduc tor, trying to oooceal Ilia agitation. \ I know him.\ Tho color rose a littlo in tho young man's face, but with a strong effort ho controlled himself, and went on collecting his fair as usual Meanwbilo Mr. Warberton sat quiotly in his soot—uono of those near him could unravel the expression of his face, or tell what would be the noxt movement in tho scene. And he— of what thought he! Ho had been rudely treated , he had been unkindly tauntod with the infirmity which perhaps had oomo through uo fault of bis. Ho could revengo himself if ho chooso. He oould tell the Directors the simple truth, and tbe young uisn would bo de prived of his place at onoo. Should be do it I And yet why shoul ho caro i He know what ho was worth. He knew that ho had rison from his own exertions to tho position he now hold. When a little orange peddler, he stood by the etrcot-orossings, he had many a rebuff. He bad outlived thoso days of hardships , he was respected now Should lie aaro for a stranger's roughness or taunt f Thoso who sat noar him waited curiously to see tbe end. Presently the conduotor came back. With a stoady energy lio walked up to Mr Warborton\s side. He took bis books from his pooket, the bank lulls, the tickets which bo had collcoted, and laid them in them in Mr Warberton's hand. \ I resign my plaoe, sir,\ he said. The Pees idont luukod over tho accounts for a moment, then motioning to the vacant seat besidu bim said \ Sit down, sir, I wouldijiko to talk to you.\ As the young man sat down, the President turned to him a face in which was no angry feeling, and spoke to him in an undertone. \ My young friend, I bavo no revengeful feel ing to gratify io this matter, but you bavo been vory imprudent. Your manner, bad it betu thus to a stranger, would have been in jurious to tho intoreata of the company I might tell them of tins, bnt I will not. By do lag BO 1 should throw you out of your situation and youmight find it to be dcflicult to get an other Rot in futuro remember to be polito to all you meet. You cannot judgo of a man by the cout bo wears, and even tho poorest should bo treated with civility Take up your books, sir. I shall tell no one of what has passed. If you cliango your courso, nothing that has hap pened shall injuro you. Your situatioaja-stili continued. Good morning, sir,\ Tbe train of cars swept on, but within it a lesson had been given and v loarned, aod^the lesson ran somewhat thus—dou ijudgo from ap pearances. An Incident. As a train of oars was approaching the sus pension bridge, noar Niagara, rocently, tbe conductor found a young man who could not pay his faro. The poor fellow was evidently in the last stages of consumtion, and emaciat ed to skeletomo proportions. He sat by him self, and his eyes were red as though he had boen weoping, but tho laws of tbe company could not be transgressed, and h e must leave tbo tram. Not a person moved or spoke as tho conduotor led him from bis seat, all shiv ering with tbe cold; but just as he reachod the door, a beautiful girl arose from her aeat, and with bright, sparkling oyes demanded tho amount charged th e invalid. Tho conductor said eight dollars, and tbo young noble girl took that from ber pocket book, and led tbe sick youth baok to bis so at The aotion put to shame several mon who witnessedut, and thev offered to \ pay half,\ but tbe wholo souled woman Indignantly refused their assist ance. When the train arrived at Albany, the young protectross gavo tho invalid money enough to keep him over night in that city, and send 1dm t o his friends tho noxt morning. Two thirds of tbo women of the world suffer in comparison with hor WHAT Warrmos RrooinB A STAMP.—1st In struments of writing datod beforo Ootober let, 1862, do not require a stamp. 2d.

In 1822, M. Labouchere. then A clerk in tho banking house of Hope <& Co., Amsterdam, wa s sent by bis patrons to Mr. Baring, tbe London hunker, to negotiate a loan. He displayed in the affiur so much ability as t o entirely win the esteem and confidence of the great English fin ancior \ Faith,\ said Labouohere one day to Baring, \your daughter is a charming ereature; I wish I could persuade you to. give mo hor hand.\ \ Youug man, you are joking , for seriously, you must allow that Miss Bariug could nuvor become tho wifo of a simple olerk.\ \ But\ said Labouabere, \ if I wore lu part nership with Mr Hope!\ \ Oh 1 that would be quite a different thini, that would entirely make up for all other de ficiencies.\ Returning to Amsterdam, Labouchoro. said to hps patron— •• You must tako mo Into partnership.\ \ My young friend, bow can yon think of such a thing I I t is impossible Yoa are with out a fortune, and \ — \But if I becomn the son-in-law of Mr Baring I\ \ In that case tho affair would be soon set tled and so you have my word.\ Fortified with these tw o promises, M La- boiiahore returned to England, and in two months after married Miss Baring, becauso Mr. Hopo promised to tako him into partnerships and he thus became allied to the house of llppo & Co. His was a magnificent career. AN ENGLISHMAN ox -ran SUBMBSIVKNESS o r AiiEntOANS.—I am spending this summer twen ty milos up tho Hudson river, and bavo to use the railroad to get in and out of town overy day. There U a contempt for the comfort, con venience, and legal righta of the passengers displayed on the line which would in England lead to twenty lawsuits a week. Here an ao tion against th e company is a rare tiling, aura- plaints to the conductors almost as rare. So also in the matter of the income tax. It might be doubled, and few would propose to head an opposition as long as the general sentiment aequicsoed in its necessity -Tho cause of tbis passivenesa in submitting th e minor inoon- venienoes and troubles, forming a striking con trast to the enorgy and vigor displayed iu re sisting the greater ones, is t o be found, like many other peculiarities of American lifo, iu tho oxternal circumstances of the people ever sinco tbe country was first settled. The vir tuo whioh is most strongly called out In conoo- ial life, or perhaps more strongly after that of enorgy. is that of patient enduranoe. Its hard ships, trials and disappointments are so great that tbe vory first lesson-' the settler has t o leara, is t o meet them with pbilosophio rosig natioa. It has now peen so long praoticod here that it has bocome a feature iu the national character'. I think Americans take as much pride m not being put out o r ruffled by these things as Englisbmsivin being grumpy and obstreperous over them. If a hotel-keeper o r tax-geatherer imposes on him, he will be as much ashamed of seeming to be annoyed by i t as an Englishman would be io submitting to it. MANAGEMENT o r POULTUT m WINTER.—Fowls like most, if not all animals, yield roturns ac cording to the manner they are kept, though wo will admit that a warmhouao and plenty of corn will not always secure a gratofut return. It then becomes us t o inquire what will, If wo study the habits of fowls, we neod not be long in coming to conclusions. Like the human family, they like condiments with their food, and they liko also a large cheerful homo or house. Give them a window or two, so that they can peer out a t the snow and ice, enjoying their warm home moro fully, and that the trusty patriarch may give timely notice of the approach of day, and that each hen may know hor own nest, for which light is nucessary. Like tbe human family, their health is greatly promoted by change in their food, and this ensures a greater supply of eggs. For popper and salt, give them time, charcoal, gravel, Ac Boiled potatoes, buckwheat cakes, bone, and refuse meat, either boiled or raw, will not be refused. If their food is warm, it will tend to their laying. Tbo ladies of a family can easily find amuBoment, if tboy wish, by feeding th e ohiokens and poultry in winter. Plenty of nests prepared with straw, so. litter, will often promoto the laying in winter. Air is neoessary and the door of tbh henery should be left o^en, that they may go out and in a t thoir p'.oasure on pleasant days. TEACH CHILDREN TO THDTZ.—Children roust bo taught to work out their knowlodge. They will acquire a great deal more, and remember it much better, if tliey are made so t o do. If humored in this way, and permitted always to be asking questions about things whioh a lit tle tho't on thoir part would enable tbem to find by their own thinking apparatus, they will never learn tot.be independent and t o help themselves to information. _ Th e best method of giving tbem knowledge is t o teach them to think. And tbis learning to think is one of the most important parts of youthful Jnitruo. tion, yet one grievously neglected. PERSONAL LIBEETT.—Condemn n o man for not thinking as yon think. Le t every one en joy tho free and full liberty of thinking for. himself. Let every man use his own judgment since every man must glveTao account of him self to God.

We quote from the Ohrmical Gatettt: \Take a -clean watertight barrel, or cask, and pu t into it a half-bushel of lime. Slack it by pouring; boilng water over it, and in sufficient quantity to cover fivo inches deep, stimnfM-tbrrsfcly tiK thouroughly slacked. When_)£acked complete ly,] dissolve in water and add two pounds of sulphate of zinc and one of common salt.

If dcaireable a beau tiful creard.'color may b e communioated to th s obovo Vash, by adding three pounds of yellow ocb; e, or a good pearl or lead oolor by the addition of lamp vino o r ivory black. For fawn color, add four pounds of umber^—Turk ish or American—the latter is cheaper—one pound of Indian red and one pound common lamp black. This wash may b e applied with a common whitewash brush, and will be found much superior, both in appearance and dura bility to common whitewash,\ 8INGULAB OCCUH&INCE.—An Albany paper o i last week Bays: A singular and Interesting cassis related b y one of our cptom'porarUs, off a child coming to life after being apparently dead.
