ignatiou- He extended his hand. He
clutched Bob With q hearty grasp.
"Ifs q great deal of sickness to look Tor
ward to, but I am resigned. You see
am. By the bye, Bob, I don't feel xel.
'spose yougo home with me, and put me
to bed"
For twelve weeks Bob watched night and
day by the bedside. Every one remarked
his devotion. The committees of the various
societies who came with the g weekly bene-
fts'' for the sick brother, were delighted
with Bob. They spoke of the devotion Of
the young physician to their sick brother,
in all their lodges and divisions.
1'Sit down, my friends Bob would re-
mark in subdued voice, when committee
appeared; ''our poor friend fails fast He
has been delirious all night. Speak lov-~
the least noise disturbs him"
And then the committee would sit doHn
in that darkened roem, in the fourth story
of boarding house, and gaze through the
gloom upon the form of poor Digges, who
was stretched upon bed, his cadaverous
face appearing above the edge of the Gov
erlet.
After few moments they would leave,
first placing in the hands of Bob the sum
due his sick friend.
After the committee had left and gone
down stairs, Bob would give orders that his
patient should not be disturbed. He would
then lock the door, and would approach the
bed, address his patient in these words
''Digges my boy, wiU you take your toddy
hot or cold2"
To which the patient, dinging off the bed
clothes, and jumping out of bed, would
respond:
"PU take ithot, Bob"

LIES CHAkGEs.-A lady of Cincinnati,
who had been over persuaded by her parents
and her lover, whose affection she did not
reciprocate, to approach the Hymeneal
altar, at last plucked up courage, and when
the important question was put to her by
the officiating clergyman, resolutely an
swered 'tNo," when by the Rubric her
proper reply would have been faint blush,
a soft sigh, and whispered "Yes." The
CONSERVATION of all parties may be ima-
gined, but not described. Remonstrance
was in vain. 'tNo," said the young lady,
and no it was. The swain was embarrassed,
but not discouraged. Casting his eyes
about the room, he inquired, sis there any
lady here who will have me2 if so, let her
make it known" One arose and declared
her willingness to undergo the infiction.
A bargain was instantly struck, the nnptial
knot was tied as quickly, and the parties
have departed for the home of the gentleman
in New York.

church on certain occasion, an old, dark,
hard featured skin and bone individual was
seen vending his way up the side and TAX
ing his seat near the pulpit. The officiating
minister was one of that class who detested
written sermons, and as for prayers he
thought that they ought to be the natural
outpourings of the heart. After the singing
was concluded, the house as usual was
called to prayer. The genius we have in
troduced did not kneel, but leaned his head
devotionally on the back of his pew. The
minister began by saying.
"Father of all, in every age, by saint and
by savage adored."
"Pope," said low but clear voice,
near old hard features
The minister, after casting an indignant
look in the direction of the voice, continued:
"Whose throne sitteth on the adamantine
hills of Paradise
"Milton," again interrupted the voice.
The minister's lips quivered for a moment,
but recovering himself, he began: 1--WE
thank thee, most gracious father, that We
are permitted once more to assemble in thy
name, while others equally meritorious, but
less favored, have been carried beyond that
bourne from whence no traveller returns"

This was too much. 'Put that impudent
rascal out" shouted the minister.
''Original," calculated the voice In the
same calm proyok ing manner.

HOW THE "WIND" WAS RAISED.

"We're out of funds,' sighed Diggea
There was no denying this.
But at this moment, q very respectfully
clad parsonage, who was going down Broad
way at New York speed, tipped his hat, and
said: s'Good::morning, Mr.. Digges." When
he said this, he was gone, but his words
made q great impression upon the mind of

"Who's that ?" he asked
"Don't know his name, he belongs to my

friend.
GLOW much does the societies give to
sick brothers %
"Four dollars week"
"What proof do they require of his sick
ness p
The certificate of respectable physi-
cian,'' answered Digges.
A pause ensued. Bob seemed running
over with a superabundance of delight
"And with these facts before you, my
misguided Digges you have persisted in the
enjoyment of good health ?''
'Never was sick week in my life, only
-" he paused ''only in the pocket"
Without another word, Bob took the arm
of Digges within his own, and led him into
neighboring oyster celler. Seated within
the box, he closed the curtains, and said in
a tone Of great feeling:
"Digges, you really ought to take care Of
yourself!-You now exhibit all the pre-
monitory symptoms of bilious attack"
"Eh" cried Digges, jumping from his
seat.
'sfour skin is sallow, your tongue furred,
and your eyes feverish. In an hour, my
friend, you will be in bed, with raging
fever. By night You will be delirious To-
morrow you will net be expected to live and

''Next week" echoed Digges, becoming
pale.
"Next week. resumed Bob, "you will;
are yon listening you will draw at least
twelve dollars from these societies. I will
sign your certificate. And as you will be
sick great many weeks, you win continue
to draw twelve dollars per week for con-
siderable time. Digges, pity you"

have two little darlings,
With eyes of deepest blue,
There's just year between them,
And the younger is but two; ..
watch their minds expanding,
With fond and earnest hope,
Like fragrant little blossoms,
Whose petals daily ope.
Frank says he's mother rosebud,
And little brother Willy,
With skin like alabaster, ..s-....-
Is budding my water lilly;
call them both my mock birds,
For like music to my ear
Are their merry little voices,
So silvery and clear.
What dew is to the flowers, sl
The rainbow to the sky,
Are these children to my pathway,
Which they cheer and beautify,
To fill my heart with gladness, 49,
With thankfulness and praise;
They chase away my sadness,
And leave no gloomy days.
Though many other blessings
Around my footsteps fall,
My children and their father
Are chief among them all.
My life seems crowned with joys
Whene'er look on them;
And they the brightest jewels
Within the diadem.
Then blessings on my darlings,
Bright blessings from above,
God grant their tender boyhood
Miss not mothers love.
o, may my days be heightened
Throughout their early youth,
To lead them in the pathway
Of Honor and of Truth
God grant me, too, His spirit,
To guide their souls Alright,
TO teach them by example,
To walk Gas in His sight,
And when this life is ended,
May all whom He has given
Unite, to form family,
Within the courts of Heaven.

TRULY NoBLE.-A letter from Concord
says-"Soon after the news of the terrible
accident which caused the death of General
Pierce's little boy was received here, poor
Irish woman, formerly servant in his fam
lily, hearing of it, and thinking that the re-
mains had been brought home to Mr.. Will
liams's, his former boarding house in this
town, had the misfortune to fall on the ice
and severely fracture her leg, while repair
ing thither. AS soon as Gen. 7. returned
from Andover, and learned of the casualty
to the poor woman, he made it his first care
to repair to her dwelling, half mile dis,
tant, and minister to her wants. This, |
learn, he did with his usual beneicent and
liberal manner. The poor woman is none
the worse of, at least pecuniarily, for the
accident"
