HoTEL LrrE rN NEW YORK.

In speaking of the gregarious, ex-
trayigant, and cosmopolitan existence
which so many families habitually lead
in hotels in New York city, CORES
pondent of the Boston Transcript lays
stress upon this special feature:
Take, forinstance, woman brought
up in one of our New England or
western towns, of good parentage,
some culture, and decided attractions;
you have the germs of superior
character. Choice society, retirement,
a life of tranquil improvement, would
develop the bud into consummate
flower. Perhaps such girl marries a
business man, who brings her to New
York hotel of the first class. For the
first time she is exposed to an epitome
of the great world; daily she is seated
beside foreign adventurer or an old
coquette. The rude and the gentle,
the pleasure-seeker and the speculator,
the politician and the trader, the vulgar
and the cultivated-aH mingle in the
sphere of her daily life. Having nc
housekeeping to attend to, time hangs
heavily on her hands; she loiters in
the drawing-room, and chats on the
staircase; she dresses elaborately fol

whose companionship fritters away hel

Two beggars, Lame and Lazy, were
in want of bread. One leaned on his
crutch, the other reclined on his couch.
Lame called on Charity, and humbly
asked for cracker. Instead of a
cracker, he received a loaf.
Lazy, seeing the gift of charity, ex-
claimed: "What, ask for cracker and
receive loaf? Well, I viii ask for a
loaf" oh
Lazy now applied to Charity and
called for loaf of bread.
"Your demand for loaf" said
Charity, "proyes that you are loafer.
You are of that class and character
who ask and receive not; you ask
amiss.''
Lazy, who always found fault, and
had rather whine than work, complain
ed of Ill treatment, and even accused
Charity for a breach of an exceeding
great and precious promise: "Ask and
ye shall receive" be
Charity pointed him to a painting
in her room, which presented to his
vision three personages, Faith, Hope,
and Charity. Charity appeared larger
and fairer than her sisters. Henoticed
that her right hand held pot of honey,
which fed a bee disabled, having lost
his wings. Her left hand was armed
with whip to keep off the drones.
''Don't understand it" said Lazy.
Charity replied: "It means that
Charity feeds the lame and fogs the
lazy"
Lazy turned to go.
"Stop," said Charity, instead Of coin

commence shooting for the season.
They should not only be. well fed, but
they should be fed as soon as they return
home after their days work, not be
forced to- wait until after your meal
shall have been prepared and finished.
Feed them first, after you have eaten
you may supply them with something
from your table by way Of dessert, and
they will be the more grateful foryour
kindness, and the more obedient in the
field on account Of the greater affec-
ton they win bear you. Feed them
yourself too, they take it more kindly,
and kindness always pays when
bestowed on a dog. See to it that
they are well and comfortably lodged,
that they have good and clean beds,
water within reach, a dry place, and
plenty of air. See, too, that they are
not foot sore, and let them, if they
choose, take bath in some pond or
stream, when they return from the
field, or after eating. Examine them
too, the next morning, whether you are
to take them out,that day or not, and
don't trust them to True Dick and
Harry, any more than you can help.
The trouble of all this is t1.ifing, and
the advantage to the dog and master
boths are great. q3 .

retain the greatest beau, is the goal Of
her ambition. She soon forgets how
to blush, and learns to talk loud, loses
all charm for the refined and intelligent,
and prides herself upon being fast.
When some country cousin or early
friend meets her unexpectedly, it is
difficult to believe sheis the same person
known Of yore, so completely is the
down rubbed of. the peach, 50 wholly
is the original interest of character
eyaporated. To unsex sweet and
modest girl, there is no quicker process
than unmodifed hotel life in Gotham.
The picture, however, must beseen and
studied to be appreciated.

KEEP YOuR SABBATH HOLY.

Be jealous on this point. Whether
you live in town or country, resolve
not to profane your Sabbath. Once
give over caring for the Sabbath, and
in the end you viii give over caring
for your soul The steps which lead
to this are easy and regular. Begin
with not honoring Gods day, and you
will soon not honor God'shOuse; cease
to honor Gods house, and you viii soon
cease to honor Gods book; cease to
honor Gods book, and by and by you
viii give God no honor at all. Let any
one lay the foundation with no Sab
bath, and I am never surprised if he
finishes with the top-stone of no God.
It was a remarkable saying of Judge
Hale, that Of all the persons convicted
of capital crimes while he was upon
the bench, he found few who did not
confess that they began their career Of
wickedness by a neglected the Sabbath,

THE VOICE BEHIND THE CLOUDS,

By j. f. KING.
Sitting side a ripping stream,
Basking in the moons pale beam,
Gazing on the waters gleam,
Was one summer ewes
whispering zephers fOated by,
SilYsr clouds sailed round the sky
Dreaming glowing dreams was L
Such dreams as lovers weave.
Dusty day, and all its glare,
Foolish folk, and all their stare,
Chatter, hustle, all of care
Were gone-fOrgotten nealE-
Twinkling stars peeped brightly out,
(Angels winking Heavens scout
Glancing, spying all about,
To see what happens here
Signing seemed the sleeping Earth,
Mourning DER a eonciOus dearth;
Thoughtful too, of all its worth,
And silent then in pride:-
Incense told the tale above;
LisVning, aye, itself to prove,
Heaven seemed to kneel in love,
To kneel and kiss and chide.
: Nestle closer, Earth to sky
Bent the zenith in reply;
Gently then voice heard l.
Avoice behind the cloud
"Murnur not, it sweetIy said,
Shadow now is Ger thee spread;
Sunshine sOou win reign instead;
Bright rObessucceed thy shroud
Winter chased by Spring away,
April melting into May.
Darkness dawning into day,
Are emblems ali to heed:--
Ev'ry shrub or weed that dies,
Sheddeth first seed to rise,
Greeting once again the skies
Each time the less weed.
MOrtals yielding unto clay,
Flowers wasting in decay,
Waiting Resurrection Day,
Lend Earth awhile their SOUL
Vigor swelling all their veins,
Earth, unconcious, life regains;
Grateful gives, but yet retains,
And fairer grows the whole.
Ever thus, above, below,
Brighter, better all things grow,
Surely, silent--Oft times slow
But truly still the same,
Gaining strength by day, by night,
Speeding with increase of might
Nearing, nearing Heavens light,
Then, Earth, 0, why complaint"
Echo caught the words, 40, whyl"
Whirled them round the vaulted sky,

And tainted; finding mono.

Startling me from Out-a dreaml

THE MIDNIGHT NAIL COACH.
BIZ GEO. W. HURN.

By GEO. W. HUIEN.
'Tis midnight-all is peace profound,
But IOl upon the murmuring ground
The lonely, swelling, hurrying sound
Of the distant wheels is heard.
They come--they pause . mOment--
Their charge resumed, they staris--
Are gone-and all is peace again
As not d leaf had stirred.
Hast thou parent, far away
A beauteOus child to be thy stay
InIife's decline; or sisters, they
Who shared their infant gleef
II A brother on foreign shore, f1
Is he whose breast thy token bore,
= Or are thy treasures wandering Ger
A wide, tumnltuous seat
If ought like these, then thou must feel
The rattling Of that reckless wheel,
That brings the bright or boding seal,
On every trembling thread
That strings thy heart, till morn appears
To crown thy hopes or end thy fears
To light thy smiles or draw thy tears,
As line on line is read.
Perhaps thy treasures in the deep;
Thy lover in adrealnless sleep;
Thy brother where thou eanst not weep
"a Upon his distant gravel H5
Thy parents hoary head no moro 5.-
May shead a silent Iustze DER
His children grouped; nor death restore
Thy son from out the wavel
Thy prattling tongues perhaps are stilled;
Thy sisters lip is pale and chilled;
Thy blooming bride, perehanee has filed
Her corner Of the tomb.
Maybe the home where all thy sweet
And tender reccollections meet,
Has shown its flaming winding sheet
In midnight's awful gloom!
And while alternate DER my soul,
Those cold or burning wheels shall roll
Their chill or heats, beyond control,
.s Till morn shall bring relief,
Father in heaven, whate'er may be
The cup, which thou hast sent for me,
know 'tis good; prepared by Thee,
Though flIad with joy or grief.

oppTTrEs on eREET MEN.

The greatest men are often affected
by the most trivial circumstances,
which have no apparent connection
with the effects they produce. An
old gentleman, of whom we know
something, feltsecure against the cramp
when he placed his shoes, on going to
bed, so that the right shoe was on the
left of the left shoe, and the toe of the
right next to the heel of the left. If
he did not bring the right shoe round
