Joke on his better half the other dav. Being
somewhat of an epcure, he took il into his
head that he would like to have a first rate dim
ner. SO he addressed her a note politely inform
ing her that "a gentleman of her acquaintace-an
old and true friend, would dine with her that
day" As soon as she received it, all hands went
to work to get everything in order. Precisely
at ID o'clock, she was prepared 10 receive her
guest. The house was neat as new pin, good
sumptuous dinner was on the table, and she was
arrayed in her best attire. A gentle knock was
heard, and she started with palpitating hear; to

THE BLIND BOY.

An editor, from whose selections we take tn
following lines, has beautifully said, that for him
self he could not see to read them through:
1t was blessed summers day;
The flowers boomed, the air was mild
The birds poured forth their sweetest Law.
And everything in nature smiled.
In pleasant thought | wandered on
Beneath the deep wood simple shade.
Till, suddenly, came upon
Two children who had hither strayed
Just at an aged beach trees foot
A little boy and girl reckned;
His hand in hers she gently put
And then l saw the boy was blind
The children knew not was near
tree concealed me from their view;
But all they said well could hear,
And | could see all they might do.
Dear Mary" said the poor blind boy,
THAT little bird sings very long;
Say, do you see him n his Joy,
Ard is he pretty as MS song?'
Yes, Willie, yes, replied the maid,
81 see the bird on yonder tree"
1De poor DOy SlSicu, dHu SeHtiy odii,
"Sister, wish that could see!''
The flowers you say, are very fair,
And bright green leaves are on the trees
And pretty birds are singing there;
How beautiful for one who sees
Yet l the fragrant flowers can smell,
And | can feel the green leafs shade,
And | can hear the notes that swell
From those dear birds the God has made
So. sister, God to me is kind
Though sight, alas he has not given;
But tell me, are there any blind
Among the children up in Heavenq''
No, dearest Willie; there all see;
But why ask me thing so odd2'
Oh, Mary, He's SO good to me,
| thought Id like to look at God"
Ere long disease his hand had laid
On that dear boy SO meek and mild;
His widowed mother wept and prayed
That God might spare her sightess child
He felt her warm tears on his face,
And said, " Oh, never ween for me,
I'm going to bright, bright place,
Where Mary says | God shall see
And you'll come there, dear Mary, too;
But mother, dear, when you come there,
Tell Willie, mother that It's you
You know l never saw you here!''
He spoke no more, but gently smiled,
Until the final blow was given;
When God took up the poor blind child,
And opened first his eyes-in Heaven.

mortals covered with turbans By this
strange procedure they want to decide
whether tract of land. to which none OF

THE AMERICAN IDEA.--We need constantly TO
keep in mind the American idea. What Is that
idea2
( In nutshell, IL is to be, and act, and feel and
liYe an AMERICAN; TO embody, illustrate, actualize
AMERICAN PRINCIPLES; TO throw aside all other
political issues, and cling alone TO those on the
times and in all places, to the American creed TO
be willing to suffer for it TO take up arms, IL need
be- in its Defence TO talk, work getrubs and blows
for it, This is the American idea. And IL is a
great, grand one. II s this moment revolution
izing the nation, making the old parties shake in
their boots and tottle in their weakness
