The Yankee Abroad.
BY .NoGGS.

1t is the easiest thing in the world TO tell a
Yankee, even amidst a crowd of foreign
ers"; ave, you can not only tell him when
you see him. but you can tell where he has
been long after he has departed. In fact |
could trace one as easily through the tn ronp.

as | could an ostrich upon the sand they
both leave their mark, the one of his foot,
the other of his filth.
The Londoners used to stare without be-
ing wiser, at the huge, round, dark sploshes
on the sidewalk at regular distances. They
thought no doubt that somebody had spiit
sonething-some elixir Pro-" or some
thing of that sort but we, initiated ones,
knew in a moment, when we put our eyes on
that fertile cause of wonder to others, that a
son Of Brother Jonathan had passed along,
and that this was an "Americanism,' and
nothing else. l well remember tracking a
Yankee friend from the Bank of England
through Cheapside, up the strand, from
thence TO High Holborn-a distance of two
miles or more, simply by watching the spit
tations of tobacco juice on the ide-walks-
and when ! came TO an end of those, | turned
boldly into the first door, and 10 there was

The Bay State and Connecticut Tin

'One day." said the Bay State pedlar, as

tin came out of a by-road, and followed right
along in my tracks. Mister says !, which

Be Always Giving.

The sun gives ever so the earth
What it can give SO much It's worth,
The ocean gives in many ways
Gives baths, gives fishes, rivers, bays;
So too, the air, it gives us breath,
When it stops giving, comes in death.
Give, give, be always giving,
Who gives not, is not living;
The more you give.
The more you live.
Gods love hath in US wealth unheaped
Only by giving it is reaped;
The body withers and the mind,
II pent in by a selfish rind.
Give strength, give thought, give deeds
give pelf,
Give love, give tears, give myself.
Give, give, be always giving,
Who gives not, is not living;
The more we give,
The more we live.

The Light of Home.

A pilgrim fastened back from a far coun.

hope for he had not seen his parents and
brothers for many years. OF course he was
in much haste. But when on the mountains,
night fell around him, and it was so dark
that he could not see the staff in his hand
And when he came down trcm the noun

and sighed out, 90, that some man might

Whilst the lost pilgrim SO I'd there, full of

peace! thou informest me Of the vicinity of

He FASTENED with firm step toward the dis

a fisherman, calling to him out of his boat.
Why, he asked, shall not follow the friend

Do you so call the decisive light that allures a

cheerfulness, and before him in the distance
the light Of home glimmered between the

The Mysteries of a Mailbag.

How heedlessly, and thoughtlessly, the
world goes jostling along. Every soul among
us is wrapped up in a maze of its own du-
ties and Screenings, its repinings at misfor-
fortune, plans for success, and strife with
fate. Now and then society gets shock,
by some strange and stirring event that starts
the whole mass of its bee-like routine of toll
and care for self-but it must be something
very momentous and marvellous, something
imposing, wonderful, horrible, vast, 10 arrest
very particular attention.
All society is changing. Each state is
hut a chrysalis, out of which a new and diff
ferent being springs. In the good old times
of our fathers, this was a very orderly, regu-
lar, quiet existence-at least compared with
ours-and so TO generations following us,
this " hurley hurley !" age will seem a very
staid, sober, l~ifeless affair. People formerly
died in routine, with orderly regularity and
propriety and the sudden demise of half a
dozen people, was perfectly astounding
But now, by the superior facilities of steam,
we slaughter them by scores and a hundred
or two human beings are sent into eternity
by a single rotten boiler, and the most that
people condescend to give of notice or regard
TO the event, is the hasty perusal of two or
three newspaper paragraphs, reciting the par
~ticulars, with every possible adornment OF
the horrible and shocking TO give it spice and
relish. Trade and its events are now upon
an equally advanced grade of magnitude and
marvel. We are up at one moment, and
down the next. The country lourishes one
year, and wholesale ruin sweeps along imme-
diately after. We are now at peace, and
anon at war at one time boast Justify of
owing no debt, and in a few years are deeper

Another hand is reckoning us,
Another call is given;
And CLOVIS once more with Angle steps,
The path which reaches Heaven.
Our young and gentle friend whose smile
Made brighter summer hours,
Amidst the frost Of autumn time
Has left US, with the flowers.
No palling of the cheek of bloom
Forewarned us Of decay /;
No shadow from the Silent Land
Fell round our sisters way.
The light of her young life went down,
AS sinks behind the hill
The glory of a setting star;
Clear; suddenly and still.
As pure and sweet her fair brow seemed,
Eternal as the sky,
And like the brook'slow song her voice,
A sound which could not die.
And half we deemed she needed not
The changing Of her sphere,
To give TO Heaven a Shining One,
Who walked an Angel here.
The blessing of her quiet life
Fell on us like tue dew;
And good thoughts where her footsteps fell,
Like fairy blossoms grew.
Sweet promptings uuto klndest deeds
Were in her very look;
We read Ter face, as one who reads
A true and holy book.
The measure of a blessed hymn,
And by the hearth-fre's light;
We pause beside her door to hear
Once more her sweet % Good Night J"
There seems a shadow on the day
Her smile no longer cheers;
A dimness on the stars of night,
Like eyes that look through tears.
Alone unto our Fathers will
One thought hath reconciled;
That He whose love exceedeth ours
Hath taken home His child.
Fold her, oh Father in thine arms,
And let her henceforth be
A messenger Of love between
Our human hearts and Thee.
Still let her mild rebuking stand
Between us and the wrong,
And her dear memory serve 10 make
Our faith in Goodness strong.
And grant that she, who trembling, here
Distrusted all her powers,
May welcome to her holier home
The well beloved Of ours.
