THE FIRST GRAY HAIR.The matron at her mirror, with her hand upon

her brow,Sits gazing on her lovelyface?aye lovely even

nowWhy doth she lean upon her hand with such a

look of care?Why steals that tear across her cheek?? She

sees her first gray hair.

Time from her form hath tS.!en away but little ofits grace;

His touch of thought liaili.dignified the beauty of

her face:Yet she might mingle in the dance where maidens

gaily trip,So bright is still her hazel eye, so beautiful her

lip.

The faded form is often marked by sorrow morethan years;

*The wrinkle/in her check may be the course ofsecretliars:

The mournful lipmay murmur of a love it ne'ercanfest,

And the dimness of the eye betray a heart thatcannst rest.

But she hath been a"nappy wife; ?the lover of heryouth, _ -

May proudly claim the smile that pays the trialof his truth;

A sense of sL'ght?of loneliness ?hath neverbanish'd sleep;

Her life hath been a cloudless one^?then,wherefore doth she weep?

She look'd upon her raven locks.:?what thoughtsdid they recall?

Olf! not of nights when they were donk'd forbanquet or,for ball;

They brought back thoughts of early youth, ereshe had learned t cheek,

With artificial wreaths, the curls that sportedo'er the neck.

She seemed to feel her mother's hand pass lightlythro' her hair,

And draw it from Iter brow, to leave a kiss of

kindness there;And seemed to view her father's smile, and feel

the playful touchThat sometimes feigned to steal away the curls

sli* prized so much.

And now she sees her first gray hair! oh, deem

it nota crimeFor Ber to weep when she beholds the .first foot-

mark of Time!She knows that one by one, those mute memen-

tos will increase.Arid steal youth, beauty, strength away, till life

itself shall cease.

'Tis not th# tear of vanity for beauty on the

wane?

Yet though the blossom may not sigh to hud andbloom again,

It cannot but remember witli a feeling of regret,The spring forever gone?the Summer sun so

nearly set.

Ah, lady! heed the monitor! thy mirror tells thetruth,

Assume the matron's folded veil, resign the

wr#ath of youth;Go! bind iton thydaughter's brow; in her tliou'lt

still look fair:Twere well would all learn wisdom who behold

the Jirst gray hair !

From the Britannia.

"UNCLE COBB."BY MRS. 9. C. HALL.

"Unele Cobb" h ob like?what??a sunny dayin March? Even so. Part stormy, part sunny,part hot, part cold; but all healthy and vigorous,sturdy, and of great value. He had a round,red, happy fade, a bright blue, keen, froaty'eye,that would have been altogether disagreeable,but for the benevolence of lus smile, which was

warm and invigorating, indeed, when he smiledhis whole countenance became as it were illu-

minated ; and his inflated cheeks arose so as tobury hisjeyes; you would have lost them altogeth-er, but that their position Was indicated by the

long dark eye-lashes that peeped forth, andvibrated with delight. When he smiled, youforgot his waywardness and obstinacy?his "I

r 'shall" and "1 will," which set his householdtrembling; but when he laughed,- it was thejubileeof Momus. I dely you to avoid tlie in-fection?it was worderful! Melpomene herselfmust have laughed with him. Laughter burstfrom his rosy lips?a huge torrent of enjoyment,up springing, and gushing forth from his heart;it was the "Ha! ha! ha!" of a joyous, jovial spirit?the music of a generous soul. "Uncle Cobb"possessed a large estate in Lancashire; and itwas a cheering sight to see him walk forth, the

very Leviathan of benevolence, amongst histenants. He always wore a drab coat and whitewaistcoat; with either top boots or drab gaiters,a broad-brimmed hat, and walked with a stoutstick ?cane I cannot eall it,'for itwas as unpolish-ed as Uncle Cobb himself; this he would alter-nately strike npon the ground and elevate in theair, progrcssng rapidly onward, attended by atroop of dogs of various size and disposition,whom it was his will and pleasure should livetogether in perfect harmony and good faith.There was a jolly and noble Newfoundland,called Nelson; a thorough-bred, lissome, curly,water-spaniel, Pento, who certainly entertainedno good-will towards Nelson, and Nelson knew

it; there was a most beautiful, fairy-jjke Italiangreyhound, the play thing of the canine race, and

tolerated by all?except a surly, cross-grainedpepper-and-mustard terrier, called Toby, as nemome impune lacessit a quadruped as ever left his

native land, and who classed cats and rats as"varmint;"twe exceedingly lady-lilw(Blenheim3;and foppish King Charles sported with a greybearded wolfhound?while a very old Englishmastiff (a regular John Bull) brought up the rearof this motley group in company with a lean,slender, silky, long-coated minikin nf a dog,acreature which, I see, Edwin Landseer calls the

"Lion-dog of Malta," but which, I have been. tgld,was a/'Persian terrier;" an animal of this

species always companioned Talbot, the mastiff}they came to "Uncle Cobb" at the same time, and

i had grown old together, and one always waitedfor the other. The animals I have mentionedformed what mightbe called the old gentleman's"staff}" but there was commonly a rear-guard of

puppies and curs?the hanger-on and poor rela-tions of the parlor dogs, who spread far and wide,yet still kept in the wake of "Uncle Cobb's" pets.

! Jt was net a little strange that "Uncle Cobb,though a confirmed old bachelor, was a P®*promoterofmatrimony inothers. He had portion-ed, during his longlife, various nieces and cousins,who needed each a set-oft' to their personal charms,and every lass inthe village having attained theage of sevanteen, well knew that slio was on

"Uncle CabbV hst-cfor a husband."Ah ah!" he would exclaim to & oottager s

wife?"Ah! ah! ah! So Lucy is growng up?-

sixteen last hirth-day?don't blush Lucy, but

learn to bake, \u25a0nil mend stockings. I'llfind a

husband"for yle, lass, when you're turned seven-

teen. I like my girl's.to marry young, for whoknows but I may then live to marry their chil-dren??l've done that before now; why, there's

my sister's daughter, Julia, her eldest girl is now

at the very liead-of my list! We'll have a rare

feast the day she marries?and, Lucy, I promise(ifyou learn to bake bread, and mend stockingswell), you shall be one of the llower strewersah! ah! let the widow's cat alone,nevermind her back, Toby! don't you see thecreature has got kittens. There's one thing,Lucy, you must premise me, that wh en you marry

and have a cat of your own you will never drown

its kittens. Amother, who drowns blind kittens,

is without a heart ?the creature loves her kittens.Unless you promise me that , Lucy,, you shallhave no money of me." And then Lucy's mothercurtsies?and thanks ''his worship," and says,

what is true, a<SLuev's soft brown eyes testify"that indeed she need not promise, except justto satisfy 'his worship,' for she drag Red larmer

Jolliff's pup out of the ditch and gar e it to the

eat, who is bringing it up with her ovrn kittens;as 'his worship'can'See, ilhe is so good as

into her 'poor place,' and look at 1 he wholefamily, cat, kittens, and pup, in harmo. sy togeth-er

"

And "his worship," who, I forgot to sajvis.a,country justice, does so; and after being" greatlydelighted with the exhibition, he is still more-s©

with a nest of martins that the storm di slodged,and which Lucy placed in a basket close to a holein the wail, where the parent birds come

their callow young jand the bluff, rosy old gentle-man, watohed on tip-toe, for full ten minutes, and

had the satisfaction to see papa or mama martin*drop an insect into the gaping beak of the yatmg

bird whose turn it was to receive food; a. id thisgave him an opportunity of making sundry;observations on the wisdom and goadness of theAlmighty;who not only teaches the weakes tofhiacreatures their defence against the strongest, hut

implants the wonderful love of offspring in every

heart; ay, in what is not bigger than an itona.

'And then he went on to show that we oug 'ht to

treat ail living things with tenderness, bee uuse

the ALL WISE clothes the lilies of the i ield. ,and careth for the sparrow; and he might 1 lave Iso talked till now, but that the Newioundl anddog had a serious disagreement with the wa'.ter vspaniel, concerning a stick that one of the villa'.ge

boys had thrown into the great pond, and whichboth dogs having brought out each claimed p< is-,

session of. "Uncle Cobb" was the only one w. lo

sou Id separate the combatants, and knowingfro, 11

experience, that in a dispute, though the firstaggressor .is the worst, both are somewhat toblame, lie thrashed them both inhis passion; thenreasoned with them as he would withquarrellingboy&, and gave Lucy a golden guinea to buy her

a new rown.This was.one of the daily, hourly occur-

rences inthe life of "Uncle Cobb;" he was loved

and feared at one and the same time, everyonefeared to offend a*d lotcd to please him; his habits,

manners, and customs were those of the good old

English school; he patronized horses and '/ox-hunting and got over the alleged cruelty of the

sport, by declaring "that the horses liked if,"and

that foxes did,not.feel it much. Wrestling, foot-

ball, cricket, and archery he gloried in; shootinghe grumbled at, having a trick of feeding thepheasants in the preserves until the birds knew

him. And as to the fishponds, they became so

overstocked that "Uncle Cobb" was obliged U

order fresh ones to be formed, whichthe double purpose of giving additional employ-ment to the peasantry, and saving the.fish. Theyoung men in the neighborhood often rallied "hisworsliip" upon the iullnessof his ponds, and "hisworship," invariably stammered out, as an apolo-gy that there was an old carp or two that had

beh fed by lus grandfather, and he would not

have one of their fins hurtfor a thousand pounds.The pheasants multiplyto the great profit ef the

their crops are invariably destroyed, they are

certain to receive double their value at first

with a round dozen of oaths from "Uncle Cobb,"most certainly followed by as round a number ofhind words, crowned by a foaming tankard ofthebest ale in Cobb-ball.

Who thunders against tithes all the time the

pavs them? ?"Uncle Cchb."Who added, at his own expense, a room to the,

Parsonage, that the delicate curate might have,a window with a southern aspect to sit in, and;insisted on his accepting a horse which he decla-red could only eat the hay and oats grown on

the farm where he was foaled, and was quarterlysupplied therewith? ?"Uncle Cobb."

And who, the very next day, told the aforesaidson that he was a?rascal, but should have chanceof reforming, and set him up again in business-

having first paid his debts?that lie might notbegin life with a log round his neck?? Why,"Uncle Cobb."

Who marched into the very midst of the poorlaw guardians?with the pauper's allowance of

food ready cooked in his ample pocket?and then

demanded which of them would like such fare??"Uncle Cobb."

Then, again, who announced that, every dayfrom December tillMarch, an ordinary for thepoor would be opened in his barn, where everyman might have one dinner, and every woman

two ??"Uncle Cobb."The blind said his step sounded like a blessing;

and even sinners?creatures whom the worldfirst blights , and then bans ?knew that thoughhis reproofs were sharp, his acts werefull tooverflowing of mercy and charity.

I remember o.ice passing some days at Pet-

worth?Petworth, hallowed by the remembranceof the most liberal, most noble, most God-servingman that ever dispensed the treasures of the Al-mighty to those who needed. He, was not at all,either in person or manners, like "Uncle Cobb,"for his mind was too highly polished to be distur-bed by the turmoils of every-day life; whereasthe master of Cobb-liall, the worshipful justiceof the peace, entered into every village quarrelwith the greatest earnestness. But there was onepoint of resemblance between them?they enter-

tained the most affectionate desire to make everything around them happy. I saw a troop of veryshabby, dirty, gipsey-like donkeys luxuriatingbeneath the trees in the noble park at Petworth,and I took an opportunity to inquire of the house-keeper how they came there. "Ah, madam,"she replied, "my lord likes to see every thingenjoy itself."' Now, this was precisely the casewith "Uncle Cobb;" he liked to see every thingenjoy itself; but he sometimes wanted things toenjoy themselves according to his will and

pleasure, which they were not always disposedto do. For instance, though he was not by anymeans so anxious to see his nephews enter thestate matrimonial as his nieces,* still he wouldfuss and fidget until he had the satisfaction ofgiving the wedding breakfast. One of his sistershad an only son, a troublesome, wilful, town bredyoung man, whom, having thoroughly spoiled,she sent down to Cob-hall to be reformed.

"I tell you what, my fine fellow," said UncleCobb, after he had been there for a week, "though

j your coat is not out at the elbow your estate is,

and yjur mind is even more ragged than youestate. You must marry, sir."

"I'd rather not, uncle.""You must. Your wife is in my eye, and you

must marry. Must is must, at Cobb-Hall.""Well, sir, if I must, I must, but Iwill choose

my own wife.""Don't you think I have mire experience in

these matters than you, youcubbof a Cobb.'"said the old gentleman.

Now George had not always been with his

uncle, and did not know how very determinedhe was, and how little accustomed to contradic-tion; and so he repeated that if he must,he must,but he could not agree with his uncle in thinkinghe had a great deal of experience, as he was anold bachelor; upon which Uncle Cobb, insteadof growing angry, as might have been expected,began to laugh, and told his saucy nephew thatthat was the very thing that gave him an opportu-nity of judging impartially; and Aat whetherhe chose, or whether he did not choose, he mustmarry; that the lady he had fixed upon was, inevery sense of the word, one certain to make himhappy, and endowed with a fine fortune; that,unless he was the most perverse dog in existence,he could not fail to be pleased. But still theyoung man persisted that, if he must marry, hemust, but that he must also choose his wife.?Uncle Cobb became angry, and made a greatfuss, and marched up and down the library untilthe oak beams creaked again: but still his neph-

kw declared thatitwas bad enough to be obligedto marry, even ifthe power was given to choosefor himself, bnt that lie would never marry at all,unless he might marry whom he liked.

A week passed, and " Uncle Cobb" renewedthe subjeet; his nephew had grown more reason-able, as he had received divers bills from Lon-don tradesmen, which must be attended to?butstill he would choose for himself.

"Then why don't you do so at-once ?" inquiredi Uncle Cobb. "You haven't got to write a book,

, or go on an overland journey to India; it is simply: to say to a lady; will you have me?yes or ne.I That was my plan," added Uncle Cobb in his

- flurry-; upon which George looked at him signifi--1 cantly, and said, "But it did not succeed, sir "

, How deyeu know, youpuppy?." inquired the; old gentleman.

"Because I never had the pleasure of knowing; an Aunt Cobb," answered his hopeful iffiphew.

The Bachelor Uncle looked provoked, and his ii red face became still more red, while he hastily

observed, "Well sir, as you please; but if youdo not marry, you must starve."

"Ifyou please, uncle," replied the scapegrace, 1? "if you please to let me, I shall, I know, be

served as I dcecrve."Uncle Csbb marched out of the room, and his

nephew remained "bvrie.d," a the authors say,i' "inthought." What his thoughts were like, X\u25a0; cannot tell; but this Ido know, that the fallow-

ing Sunday he stationed himself aTthe door oftheparish church; and watched all.,the ladies asthey came therefrom with an earnestness of rn?in-

i net which made the old ladies look dignified andparticular, and the young ones, blush.

Atlast, the young gentleman selected one fro mthe many, followed her home, ascertained hi'.rname, ami told his uncle he had made his choice.

"And pray, sir, what may her name be?".inqui-rtsJ his uncle.

"Rather aqueerane; the first to begin with isMabel."

"AVeil sir? go on.""The,nex tis Qliphcnt.""My dear George, you have the discrimination

of a gudge," exclaimed Uncle Cobb. "MabelOlipliaiit! sweet Mabel! pretty Mabel! gentleM abed.' ay, and wise Mabel, for wisewomenarealways gentle, though gentle women may not b

alw'ayc wise! Mabel Oliph.mt was the girl I Iwished you to many!"

How gloriously nappy was "U.N'CLE COBE!"
