MARY, do you still remember the wild.
worthless boy, TO whom in earlies. girliood
you plighted your tro,h?''
'God knows do,'' said she with unaf.
fec,ed truthiulness.
II have come back TO claim the hand
which blessed Providence has preserved
!, for me- said Ash.nead solemn,y.
1t is impossible 10 touch more fully up-
on this welcoming of one who had arisen
from the dead. / he feeble powers Of pen
and ink cunnnt paint the hpppiness Of the
reunited family. ~. e
Charles Ashmead Archer, such was his
name. related bis history since the time Of
" -hnrass.-- U. he sank into the
water, he was determined to die, though
for few moments he unconsciously exer.
ted himself TO keep his head above the sur
lhce. A rich burst Of bird music in an
overhanging tree caused him to raise his
head and look about him The orb of day
was sinking to res, beneath mantle Of
glorious cleuds, the csol water exerted
subduing influence, and involuntary Charles
lifted his soul in prayer, and the love Of
lille grew strong within his breast.
"Why canno, / live in praise and rev.
erence The benefcient Cre.to tor instead Of
sending my uncalled soul in'o his presence;
surely there are other places in the wide
world where | can live as fought Then
he swan vigorously for the shore, and crep,
under tbicket Of young willows,
and remained concealed there, until the
dal kness of night had settled around him.
He then set off al rapid pace resolutely
banishing the oft.returnipg wish to go back,
and let his mother and Mary Grey know
he was not dead. @ ~A
"A homeless wanderer," muttered he al
most desparingly-and then inspired by n
sudden hope he cried, "t,riN he somebody
yeti" and this determination sustained him,
as hungary, wet, and weary, he measured
the sandy road. And as years progressed
he became somebody; he diligently cult.
waited The talents entrusted to his care. and
among men of brilliant abilities ranked ms
equal, and was respected for high princi.
pies and purposes.
A large portion Of ear,h's wealth was
lent him for n space, and this procured OBJ
sequious9 attention from those smaller
branches OF the human family, wi no esti
mate perishable gold above the undying
treasures Of the mind. -7'ea = #Fs q.
Thus the once reckless youth was saved,
and permitted to fill the lofty place to which
his talents entitled him. Would to Heaven
that many others who are upon the very
lserso saf@Tuii, Insght see 'tiiei1 s1arHes snd
retreat before 1t is too late
