troubled, unequal motion, even now,
while | recall that scene. His throat
hadbecome so swollen, that to breathe
was almost impossible. He lay pants
ing and gasping befre US, and we could
not even smoothe his passage to the
grave. The mother supported the
head of her darling, and the father stood
looking on apparently unmoved, but
there was tempest of feeling subdued,
not stillcd, in his bosom. The former
had ceased to weep. Her sorrow was
to profound TO allow Of fearful relief
The breathing of the little sufferer
grew quicker and fainter, but he still la
bored learfully. Each respiration con.
vulsed his frame and distorted his fea-
lures. Even to the last grasp, the strug-
gle was painful. But when the spirit
disengaged itself from the body, how
calm, how still, how love y was he in
death! l, was like Sabbath rest after
week oftoil and pain.
Bowed down in spirit we stole away
from the chamber OF death. What had
we done that our delight was taken a
way, and our hearts stricken with sor.

the agony Of the mothers heart! 1t can
not be told. 1t was known only to
Him who sustained her in her afflic-

sweetness, whispering even from the
inner temple other spirits, said, "Hc is

grief of Christian mother, than the

Counting for the Millions.

Lesson for the ladies-By Joe Miller
If YOU have lover you must seek to
attach him TO you as much as possible
for this purpose you must plan early
morning walks, for the benefit Of your
health; forenoon excursions for the pur-
pose of shopping; afternoon visits to all
the Miss Smiths Of your acquaintance,
and be always at home Of evenings; so
that he can have no excuse to call else
where-require his attendance on all
these occasions, beau cannot be tied
in too hard knot. Ii you should be
so fortunate as to have two lovers, you
must exert all your arts TO keep them
both strong in their attachments; with
this view you must be peculiarly gra-
cious to each when the other is absent
by a judicious equipolse Of this com.
pensating balance, you may keep them
In order for long time, so that you
may not only have "two strings 10 your
two beaus on one string.
If one of your admirers should be.
come unruly, treat him with disdain and
indifference. If he should be much dis
affected prove the extent Of your cold
ness by eating ice cream with his rival.
If you have but one adorable, you
can test the thermometer OF his admi>
ration by sending him on various little
errands for you-for instance, 10 carry
your dear little iap-dog Fido in his arms

The Time to Die-An Extract.
BY THEOPHILUs FISK,

Look sat that smooth and bloodless

lost treasurc-health. Like pale per.

guileless infancy, amidst the happy
scenes to which her memory fondly
clung. The hopes that had nestled in
the heart of many a faithful friend, had
one by one departed as they ma rked

A Mothers Tears.

There is a sweetness in a mothers
tears, when they fall in the face Of her
dying babe, which no eye can behold
untouched. 1t is holy ground, upon
which the unhalowed foot Of profanity
dares not cncroach. Infdelity itself is
silent, and forbears her mocking; and
here, woman shows not her weakness,
but her strength; 1t is strength of at
tachnent which man never did nor
never can feel. 1t is perennial, depend.

it knows no shadow or turning. A

returns to his fresidc, the sportive
laugh comes up to his remembl ancc, ,the

grief, and it finds no permanent seat.

sees its playful mirth, and hears its
plaintive cries: she seeks In the morn

alive that thrilling anguish, which the
dying struggle, and sad look produced,
