Where the light deer-treads tha lawn, Followed by the timid fawn ; jj Where the swifter antelope J Rushes through the woody code ; AYhere the wild horse, free from rein. Spurns with lightning feet the plain ; Where the condor sweeps the skies ; Vhere the kingly eag'es rise, j v Soaring, with unshrinking gaie. Sunward, through the vaulted maze ; Where the old, with hilvry head, Walk with flow, unsteady tread ; Where sweet childhood's sunny face Gldw9 still brighter in the chase ; Where the lark skims o'er the meadows Swift pursue the fleeting shadows. Where the Albatross doth rest On the tea her glossy breast ; Where the Swan her head doth pillow On the Ocean's topmost billow ; Where the clouds sail swiftly o'er Azure seas that have no shore ; Where cold sleeps the walrus strong ; Where ghost-icebergs float along ; Where the Indian maiden dark Down the smooth lake rows her bark ; Where the tall ship saileth slow There the wave-wash'd shadows go ! , By the cottage and the hill, j By the river and the rill Where the tall banks darkly frown, And theplacid skies look down By the rock that lifts its head High above its sandy bed ; J By the cliff, that rears its side Far beyond the raging tide ; I By the lofty pyramid, In the dreary desert hid ; By the covert in the glen ; By the w'dd-goat's mountain den ; By the grassy Indian mound, j With the warrior underground ; By ths lone white marble tomb, Where the weeping wild flowers bloom, And the mourner bendeth o'er Those who mourn, on earth no more By the forest tow'ring high ' There the dark-wove shadows lie ! Siowly, slowly turning round On the long accustomed ground, As the Day, with flaming eye, Rolls his chariot through the sky. And the Hours, who fill his train, Sweep their light wings o'er the plain- Shadows, for the seeming gay, Led by pleasures lure astray -Shadows for the withered hearts, When the bliss of life departs Shadows, for their portion, where Sits the wrinkled brow of care Shadows, for the lost one's fat1, When repentance comes too late ! Shadows, for the orphan child, ' Left upon the widowed wild ; Shadows," for the poet breast, All too,tender e'er to rest ; Shadows, for the misanthrope, Warm with love yet dead with hope Shadows fill the worldling's cup ; Misers heap gold-shadows up This the guerdon of their strife, This the sum of human life ! Naught that plaure's vot'ries gain . : rE'er is real, but the pain I Scorpion Disappointment brings -' Piercing Conscience, with its stings ! Even joys that Christians know, In this tearful vale below, Arc but shadows, to the light Tliat shall meet their ravished sight, When they reach that blissful home, mere no thadotcs ever come ! " E. P. H. Woon. Leaf, May, 1859. J56T" The subjoined article presents the claims of that most excellent monthly, Oo- dey's Lady's Book, in a graphic, bat un doubtedly truthful light. We speak in th south of our own 'peculiar institution;' but Godey by industry, skill and judicious outlay vof large sums of money has made the Lady's Book an institution for the Ladies, not 'peculiar' to any section, but necessary for all Upon the receipt of 4, we will farnisb the Lady's Jjook, and the Banner foi one year Professor Grey and the tady's Book, Professor Grey was a learned man ; a tall, and dignified, handsome, thoughtful, quiet man was Professor Grey, .having all tue tnLe& on his finders' tins, and occu- - o o r ' pying the chair of a most learned univer sity. Now Professor Grey had a little wife, a charming woman, well skilled in the dead languages, a good student, and, withal, a pretty, graceful, and elegant wo man They are a happy couple every body knew it. Altboughj both were so agreeable, neither was jealous of the oth er's attractions. People mentioned them almost in the same breath The Profess- or is so excellent a gentleojan ! Yes, and wbat a wife he has !' I , " At your sewing again, Elly, cutting, shaping, making. O dear! I was going to ask you to translate this bit of Ovid for little Jacques, my 'poor scholar. Well, never mind ; I se;e you are engaged deeper literature" this with a peculiar smile. j . Elly Grey had open before her the La dy's Book and she was puzzling orer a queer succession of Hoes that seemed most ungeometrically placed. j " None of your sarcasmr sir !" said Mrs. Grey, looking up, her beautiful mouth dimpled with emiles. "I don't know why it is, but'jou seem to think my time is thrown away over this useful maga zine." . . : v " Useful !" exclaimed Professor Grey, stroking hi? dignified whiskers. I should be most hippy ta :be enlightened as to the modus operu mli of its usefulness. -Why, it is a mtre book of fashiotiB, jsBt it " Well, isn't fashion well CDough in ifs way ? I like to be fashionable ; so do you, some litfcratujre." " Well h'm yea, well enough to be fashionable, as you say, provided it isn't at the expense of money, health, and brains. One wants to look tolerable iu this day of vain show." - " Well, don't you think I look tolera ble?" asked Elly Grey, dimpling again. "Why, yes, I think you do, and rather more. By the way I didn't notice a new head dressy hey ? Quite a costly ar ticle, I should think, but I don't find fault remember. , And you are at some showy looking silk, just now; what is it? a nightcap for me ?" And Professor Grey, it may be, bewitched" by the beauty of his agreeable little wife, relaxed somewhat in his dignity, and sat down by her -side. " You impertinence !" and one of his whiskers was slightly pulled (who would have thought it, to see him in the lecture room that night ?) "a nightcap for you ! No sir, I'm making a bretelle for myself ; but no matter for that ; you couldn't com prehend, if I should tell you all about it. want to vindicate the outraged honor of Godey's Lady's Book. Listen! You know Professor Hensbaw's wife ?" " To be g'ure I do ; a nice looking wo man she i?, too." " What, do you think of her way of dressing generally ?" " Well, I don't think much about it.- She looks very well, however, much the same as you do; dresses in good taste, now I think of it, extremely good taste." " Well, Professor, we were comparing notes, yesterday," returned Mrs. Grey, "and her hill for' clothes, making, and trimming, for the last year, waak twelve hundred dollars." ! Professor Grey lifted his long eyelashes, and opened his eyes in the greatest aston ishment. "Twelve hundred dollars for clothes!" he slowly ejaculated. Why, I didn't know it was possible to spend half tnat." . " Yes, it is, very possible ; possible to spend twice that amount; and she consid ers herself extremely reasonable.". "Twelve hundred dollars!" exclaimed the Professor again, knitting his brow, "why, how splendidly that would stock my library."' ' " To u sure, said little Mr. Grey, ap- plyir-g herself 40 her needle, "arid I'm go ing to show you that Gody ia helping you to tock yeur library every month in the year. . " And ProfcsscT Henshaw goes a'most out at the. elbows !" exclaimed Professor Grey, ?gain, enable ! to accommodate the assertion to his common sense propriety of things. "Twelve hundred dollars ! well mv doar." " Why, you see,iu the first place, what I do I get of the best, or rather, the best I can afford." " I see, mv dear and vet you don ttrou- t. -ble me a great deal for money." "Oh, no! because if I did, I never should look forward to that nat little cot tage' in Brooklyn that we are goiDg to own one of these days, and where I shall be by father and mother; Bat about dress and Godey ; ray last silk you admired so much, you remember." "Charming! charming!" returned the. Professor, "as nearly a3 I know what is oharming in the dress of a woman." " Pshaw ! oome down from your stilts, now ; you know as well as I do what looks well. I have often had you point out to my notice those who were elegantly at- tired, and 'those otherwise.-. Your criti- eisms on mv arrearance are alwavsingood tate." a a w " Because flattering ?" put in the Tro feasor. , v j " I should be eorry to think 66," return ed his wife ; anything bnt flattery from my husband." " You know I was jesting." " Yes, of course. - But abtut the silk; by following tne directions in Godey's .nn.ls.w T n.ac ti1a tr onf - trim ! ! make that rich dress myself, thereby sav log to your purse some eight or nine dol ! hrs perhaps ten or twelve." " Good ! but your time ?" Oh, a woman's time is not to be taken i into accowUt, you know '' replied his wife, ia ! vith a little touch, of irony. " At any rate; the earing ten dollars is something." "I ahnutd think it wms.said the Pro fessor. f Come, I begiriktolook with gret respect upon Godey's Httle savings institu tion." ' . 'l "Then, when Professor Hensbaw's wife bought that beautiful etady-chair for her husband, did you ever know what she gave for it?" f " A fabulous pricej I expect," said the Professor,. " But it is not as handsome as mine. ; j " Thirty-five dollars," returned his wif I, following Godey's here, bought my wool and embroidery materials where I could depndi on, tbe.m, ordered the frame, work ed it wth leather,:celrdHgto Gody, and all at the ostcf ten dollars, whieh I earn ed nijHelf by a transbtion " s " BriiVo, wife! rou arc- letting out se cret?, thought that! cluir was worth, at the least estimation, a hundred dollars; but asjit was a gift, I asked no questions. I wouldn't take a hundred for it, however thank you a thousand times' " Now you see you are getting my hair out of iorder !" exclaimed Mrs. Grey, with a pout; and a smile, as she struggled away from the Professor's kiss. " And speaking of hair reminds me of my headdress. Isn't it pretty?" J " Beautiful, and j becoming," replied the Professor, regarding it with admiring eyes. '. " Well, I priced one in Broadway yes terday ; and' what do you think they char ged ?" : ; : 1 . ; " Don't know, I'm sure." " Fire dollars ; and I paid for the mate rials of this one eighty-seven cents ; and it took me an hour to make it." 5 " Bravo !" cried the Professor. Did you learn how from Godey ?" V Exactly so," said little Mrs. Grey. " The; directions were1 so plain that I could have made a dozen of them, all different and tasteful. Then there's my bonnet." "That little thing? Was that expen sive ?;' j "';." 'Little as it was, I should have been -i ' ohliged to pay from fifteen to twenty dol lars for it in the shops ; and it cost me six dollars, including every thing; you see I made it myself. Then there are nice un dershirts I knit for you at times when nothing else could occupy my hands, spare moments those beautiful vases that oxca ment our parlors, and . that are very expen sive at the shopsthose frames of leath er work that only cost for the gilding, those ottomans, the sofa pillows, my beau tiful patterned tidies, your handsome toilet and collar boxes every body admires so much. - O dear, things innumerable I have made I and there is no knowing what I save every year by this judicious expendi ture of three dollars ! Z." VeH done, wife !" exclaimed Profess or Grey, i I am astounded !" . " Oh,! I forgot my collars !. and I know they are equal to the best French work. Indeed, ladies have asked roe, among them ProfUsor Hensbaw's wife, where I found Si ' - . - ...... .'- such beautiful patterns ; and they are very muck astonished when I tell them I work theta myself having one alwajs on hand. They nil wish they; could da so; and I tbiuk within six months I have stmt Godey ten jiubscribers apon the strength of my embroidery." ' Upon my word! Let me Bee that book." ' ' rs.

But wife, Godey's would be nothing to you if you had not the genius." . . , M Not BO The genius of utility is in everybody. It only wants patience and perseverance to overcome little obstacles, when one m not so quick as another. I saved Irish Mary in the kitchen fiom four to five dollars, last week, in cape, sleeve, - and body patterns, and learning her to. out and fit for herself.
