German love.

The story we give below, could only have
happened in Germany, or be reluted Of Germans.
A young girl Of twenty.one, Rose koble, shop
tender, became acquainted with student OF
pharmacy. one Theophllus Keppler. This ac-
quaintance, apparently very slight was soon
forgotten by the young man, but excited love-
violent almost to madness, in the heart Of Rose.
A peasant girl, an intimate friend af Rose. who
had discovered the secret Of her passion, made
shameful profit of its intensity. She addressed
the poor girl letters purporting TO be written
by Kepp.er. and cajoled her for fourteen years
During the whole of that period she never once
saw her fancied betrothed, but letters asking for
money, sugar, brandy, and even linen, poured
thick upon her. The excuses for not seeing
her were Of the most strange and improbabls
nature such as that in consequence Failure
on his examination he was taken to house OF
detention in Holland, constructed expressly for
the punishment Of defeated candidates. Such

Sickness suffering, and especially destituton

had sent eleven thousand francs, an enormous
sum for one in her position, to collect which
she was obliged to deny herself all but the ne
cessaries of life, and to sacrifice her little patr
mony and that of a sister. At last, after four.

Rose read in the newspaper an announcement
OF the death of Theophus Keppler, apothecary

A PRAYER IN SICKNESS.

Send down thy winged angels, God
Amid this night so wild;
And bid him come where now we watch,
And breathe upon our child!
She lies upon her pillow, pale,
And means within her sleep,
Or wakeneth with patient smile,
And striveth not to weep
How gentle and how good child
She is, we know too we'll,
And dearer to her parents hearts,
Than our weak words can tell
We love--we watch throughout the night,
To aid, when need may be
We hope-and have despared, at times,
But now we turn TO Thee
Send down thy sweet. souled angel, God,
Amid the darkness wild
And bid him sooth our souls to night,
And heal our gentle child.

The last Words OF n respectable Man.
"Such were the last words Of one, UNIVERSAL,

"Beware of evil spendthrift ways
And wasteiul company;
Be wise ard frugal all your days,
If you would virtuous be-
"Opinions current in the world
Adopt with deep respect,
New tangled thoughts and things, at once,
My prudent son, reject

For all morality.

Constant your prayer book new,
Dress well, and do not fail to choose

And all things ont of Joint
Good tables seek--and dinners give,
As your best interest points
"lf any woman you have wronge6.-
Vice causes sad expense

"For marriage in my will you'll find
A safe directing voice,
Where birth and competence combined,
Will bless your fathers choice
Something had to say on truth;
Something on honesty;
My memory fals--but stick to both,
When the best policy.
Gather my bills up-pay my debts,
And call my credits in;

And all good memories win
