BEAUTIFUL INcIpENr.-One Of the
sweetest incidents which we have noticed
for many day, and one which shows the
effort of early training, assisted By
simple and undefled Imagination, has
just fallen under our observation It's
thus relateds
A lady lately visited New York city.
and saw one day on the sidewalk, rag
ged, cold and hungry little girl, gszing
wishfully at some cake in shop window.
She stopped, and taking the little one
by the hand, led her into the store.
though she was aware that bread might
be better for the child than cake, yet do

one, she bought and gave her the eGks

A SMART BoY.-At school exami-
nation previous to the holidays, the
master determined to give finishing
stroke to show off the proficiency of the
scholars, as well as to give the parents
and visitors touch of his quality, as 3
superfne professor of penmanship shows
the copperplate style. Proponnding
and expounding the questions to his dear
scholars, he concludes-not very gram
matically, you will say-with this grand
question and key to the art of writing ::
WHATS the three first requisites to
penmanship?" A shock headed and
auburn genius, with decided love to
the vermi.lion, burning to be distin-
guished as a prize-holder, shrieked out,
"Easiness, legibilitiveness, and dispatch
itiveness!" "Who't that?" says the pro-
fessor. "I, Bill Vickers." Old Mr..
Vickers, who was present, with . tear
of pride at the achievements of his SON
Billy, exclaimed, "WeH, Billy, after

A "rale hard sinner" native of the
Emerald Isle, went to confession the

HONESTY AND TRUST.

The following pleasant anecdote ii
from 'Glances and Glimpses,' a new
book by Dr. Harriet K. Hunt, who wal
once teacher in Boston.
A cousin of mine in Charlestown
having passed away, it became proper
that should attend her funeral. Il
was school afternoon did not dismiss
the scholars, aud, as they disliked q
monitor I hit upon the following plan
of leaving them. I placed in the chair
the large old fashioned slate (it had been
my father's) wrote on it the name of the
scholars in the order in which they sat !;
arranged the needldwork and reading
for always had some interesting work
read aloud by some elder pupil every
afternoon-and then said, Now, chill
dren, when the clock strikes five, leave
your seats orderly, go tony chair, and
place on the slate by each'of your names
q unit for good behavior, and a cross
for bad When Ireturn, I shall anx-
ieusly look at the slate, and in the morn
ing, when you are assembled, I will read
the list aloud that every thing may be
confirmed. But trust in your On
my return Visited the school room, and
found but one cross on the slate; and
that where least expected it, append.
ed to the name of beautiful, open,
bright brave child; who then promised
much for the world-the fact of her
having rich parents being her greatest
drawback. She was the last child in
the school should have thought capa-
BILE of any misconduct. Well the next
morning came f; the list was read it
proved truthful; but when l came to
this name, said, my dear child you
must explain; why is this'-what did
you do? Looking up to me with those
soulful eyes, and speaking with soul
full tone, which ever made her an. object
of sacred interest, she replied, I laugh

"a WHOLE FAMILY In HEAvBsp-=Ths
following passage is from the pen Of Rev.
Albers Barnes, of Philadelphia:
"a whele family in heavsn-pho can
describe their everlastingJoy? Nc one
is absent. Nor father; nor mother, nor
son, nor daughter, are away. In the
world below they were united in faith,
and love, and peace, and Joy. In The
morning Of the resurrection they ascen-
ded together. Before the throne they
bow together in united alteration. On
the banks Of the river of life they walk
ed hand in hand, and as family, they
have commenced career of glory which
shall be everlasting. There is hereafter
to be no separation in that family. No one
is to lie down on bed of pain. No one
to wander away into temptation. No one
to sink into the arms ofdeath. Never
in heaven is that family to move along in
the slow procession, clad in the habilia-
ments of wo, toconeign one ofits members
to the tomb. God grant in his infinite
mercy that every family may be thus
united

NO GLOOM At HOME.


ABovE all things, there should be no
gloom in the home. The shadows o.
dark discomfort and wasting f:etfulness

And let the husband strive to forget
his cares as he winds around the narrow

Smart is red pepper and cider mixed.

But bri hter far than Autumn leaf,

Is the pride of my heart my own true love

And loved her more when older.
And never once shall forget,
When first my love told her:
She blushed, and sighed, and turned her head
(Her eyes were filed with water);

And whispered-" Polly CarterP'
She only blushed deeper red.
And sweeter looked than ever;
My heart it seemed to run q race
With my old "patent lever"
I told her that loved her well,
And that Re'er would barter
For aught on Garth. however priced,
The love of Polly Carter.
I told her that had farm
Well titled was every acre
And that had snug farm house
To which longed to take her;
And told her that unless she'd go,
For life I'd be martyr
To Cupid's cause, and break my heart
For gentle Polly Carter.
She turned. and OIL how sweet she smiled
And said she loved me dearly:
Then what cared for aught besidef

And ne'er did feel smarter;

"Old Uncle Hector was famo1s fsF
having the largest nose in all cape Fear

but unfortunately his habits gave il
bright rosy color, which, with it's size,
made it a natural and artificial curiosity.
One night he retired to rest after indulg-
ing pretty freely all the evening, and
waking up in the course of the night
with 3 raging thirst, he rose and set of
for something to drink. It being dark aud
for fear be would pitch against the door
of his room, which vas usually left stand

+ DEATH-BEAuT1FU1. ExTRAcg.
following vail, afoat on the sea Of read
ing,' we clip from an exchange We do
not know its paternity, but It contains
some wholesome truths, beautifully set
forth:
Men seldom think of the event Of
death until the shadow falls across their
own path, hiding forever from their eyes
the traces of the loved ones whose living
smile was the sunlight of their existeness
Death is the great antagonist Of life, and
the cold thought of the tomb is the
skeleton of all feasts We do not want
to go through the dark valley, although
its passage may lead to paradise: and,
with Charles Lamb, we do not want to,
lie down in the muddy grave, even with
kings and princes for our bedfellows
But the fat of nature is inexorable.
There is no appeal or relief from the
great law which doems US toldust. We
flourish and we fade as the leaves Of the
forest, aud the flower that blooms and
withers in q day has not frazier hold
upon life than the mightiest monarch
that ever shook the earth with his foot
steps Generations of man appear and
vanish as the grass, and the countless
multitude that throngs the world tc-day,
viii tomorrow disappear as the foot-
steps on the shore.
In the beautiful drama of Ion the IN.
stinct of immortality, SO eloquently ut-
tered by the death devoted Greek, finds
deep response in every thoughtful
soul When about to yield his 3oung
existence as a sacrifice to fate, his below
ed Clemanthe asks if they shall not mech
again, to which he replies:-'I have
asked that dreadful question of the bills
that look eternal-of the clear streams
that flow foreter-of the stars, anene
whose fields of azure my raised spiFit
hath walked in glory. All were dumb.
But whils I gaze upon thy living face,
feel that there Is something in the
love that mantles through its beauty
that cannot wholly perish. We shall
meet again, Glemahthe.'
