For the Spirit of the Age.
Disappointment.

disappointment what is it It is the
defeat Of hopes Varied are the channels
through which the scenes Of disappoint-
ment flow. 1t is something to which man
has been subject since the fall of our first
parents, from that state of happiness which
none except those who are freed from sin
can ever know There is no pain, no an
guish which equals that caused by disap-
pointmenG. We may suffer from the bleak
winds which go wailing O. 'er the plains in
cold winter; we may suffer from the burn
ing heat of the sun in tropical cline we
may suffer from disease, we may be shut
out from the society of parents and kin
dred we may suffer from fatigue we
may suffer from hunger we may suffer
all things else; yet will we not have expe-
rienced the pangs, the anguish which is
caused by disappointment Let man once
leave the past, and concentrate his strength
upon future hopes let him but look on
down the stream of time to that something
in which he imagines life of glory envel-
oped within it; let him be apparently ho-
ping with cause which seems beyond the
reach of disappointment; let him lay his
plans in accordance with his future pros
poets and then let the heavy hand of dis
appointment rest upon him, and he is 6
man who "knows well what sore distresses
are"
1t seems to lay prostrate all the energies
of both mind and body and leaves him
victim worthy of our sympathy and care
Let the young man of industrious hab
its start out upon the ocean of life, tn
young man of morality and respectability
say let him go on in business whicl
presents flattering prospects for futur
wealth, let him but receive the patronag
of the worthy, the intelligent and wealthy
while day after day his abundance increas
es, his hopes are strengthened, his calcu
lations enlarged, his most sanguine expet
tations realized. Let all this be the case
and then amid the darkness of night Will
he seeks rest from his labors, and perhar
is dreaming of the future as a bright pi,
ture, let that dread element which appeal
often times to defy its own defeat by mar
roll around its curling fame and swee
along from street to street, till In turn
takes the property Of him who but yeste
day lived in hope, and lays it waste, lea,
ing naught but few smoking pieces

Now confess, said the stranger, rising
and walking to and fro before the fire, con-

this

with quivering lips to the door.
Stop, stop cried the stranger, you
know you would never have returned the
purse had you not expected to be paid for
it,

her thin form towering; and oh, the wither-
ing rebukeSp her voice and manners.
The straS Ser paused, holding the purse in
his hand tHsn drawing forth the smallest
Lnossihle coiY that it contained, offered it to

For a moment she drew back, but then
remembered that her poor boys were hungry
at home, and in bed because there was no
fire, she burst into tears as she took it, say
ing - This will buy bread for my poor
children and hurrying away she buried
the bitterness of that morning in her own
heart.
1t was four o'clock on the same day. Sa-
rah Goodwin sat by scanty fire, busy in
sewing patches on the very poor clothes of
her four boys
Run to the door, Jimmy she said to the
eldest, as a loud knock was heard.
O, mother = the boy cried, returning, a
big bundle for usl What is it What can
it be?'

Widow, untying the huge package, when
suddenly there came to light four suits of

caps, each sett exactly fitting to the dimen.
sions of her boys. Almost paralyzed with
astonishment the widow remained on her
knees, her eyes rivited on the words,-' a
present for the fearless : while the boys ap
propriating their wordrobes danced about the
floor, shouting with glee.
What's in the pocket here? what's in thC
pocket 2 cried Jimmy, thrusting his hand il
that receptacle, when 10 out came the very
purse of gold the widow had returned tha
morning.
A scene of joyous confusion followed, ani
the voice of prayer ascende1 from Saral
Goodwin's full heart. Again and again sh,
counted the glittering treasure 1t seemed
an almost endless fortEne How her hear
ran over with gratitude to God and the stran
ger.
She could not rest, till throwing on be
bonnet, with cheeks glowing now with hop
and happiness she ran back to the hotel t
pour out her thanks.
A carriage stood at the door laden will
trunks behind. The driver mounted tn,
seat as she had reached the steps, and turn
ing her head there, within sat the mysteri
Gus stranger with long beard. She had no
time to speak, but he nodded his head as hi
saw her with clasped hands standing there
her very face seeming prayer embodied.
Sarah never saw the eccentric strange
again. She took little shop and stocked
Tsday sss MS fhs Ts pfoplist5F 5 ietae of ham

listers, one is doctor, and the other a thr

Nobody knows where the man with tn

The Teachers Life-Its Lights and
Shades.

Shades
First among the professions of the
world, and second only to that of the
ministry, ranks the teachers profession.
And yet scarcely any class of honest
laborers are more poorly paid or re-
ceive less gratitude at the hands of
those for whom they labor. The Law
yer, the Doctor, the Farmer, the Me-
chanic, each has his trials through life,
but they receive liberal recompense
for their toll, and now and then a CRATE
full smile of appreciation darts athwart
their pathway. They breathe the pure
air and enjoy health of mind and body +;
but the teacher wears himself away,
mentally and physically, SO that when
he emerges from the school, he is a
mere walking shadow, and is Stunned
because of his morose and melancholy
habits. AS our sympathies are drawn
out towards those Of our own sex who
sacrifice themselves at this shrine, We
will select sketch from among them
Look at that delicate young form as
she moves gracefully through the fami
ly circle the idol Of parents, brothers
and sisters. She is the oldest daugh

where she has won for her fair brow
laurels green and fresh from the .: Hill

finds her trunk all packed and fastened
on the familiar old family coach. Ther
come tender embraces from tiny arms
hearty good-byes from sturdy youths
and a mothers blessing on her first
born. The father brushes mani,
tear, hands the daughter in, and drive
away. She has felt that she must la
Dor, and has gone forth, hoping to fin,
field white unto the harvest.
She tries to feel herself at home i
the family where she boards; but
though they are kind to her, yet, some
thing is wanting-a mothers tender
ness and fathers care, she finds mo-
She enters her school room, probabl
some old dwelling which has been fol

Then throwing on her shawl She went forth
noiselessly from the house into the colo

large windows afforded them a view into
the sitting room, but Mr.. Laverne was not

Along that narrow passage, unaccustom

Laverne and her attendant; and down the
narrow steps they went.

nifty, then will that parenk know what the
pangs are Of which we leak. Let that

step are all gone. That languid eye, those
sunken cheeks, that care-worn brow all be-
speak the miseries of Disappointment
That husband in whom her hopes were all
centered, has become raving maniac
by the hand of intemperance.
All the workings of the mind caused by
disappointment. There are many cases of
disappointment which we might introduce.
There is way by which the sad tale of
disappointment may be told, but having
Fbeen victim ourselves to it's dread infu-
ences, we forbear its mention. All, memo
ry, pass it by and let me live without its re-
membrance
But though numerous the disappoint-
ments of life, yet there is a hope if proper
ly founded which knows no disappointment.
A hope which when lost in full fruition,
satisfyeth and maketh glad the heart. 1t
is a hope whose foundation is the Rock Of
Ages, whose enjoyment is constant, and
whose end is in participation Of joys to
earth unknown, and which are unfading
and ever enduring. Let our hopes here be
| placed upon Heaven, then shall we knew
what it is to hope and not be disappointed

Mr. Monroe shares even his grave with
another man. He had no wealth when he
died, and in his death no tomb of his own.
We owe it to his memory that we provide
for his ashes resting place that should be
his own, or at least that creditable monu-
ment be raised over them where they lie
Shall the dust be transferred to Greenwood,
or, leaving it where it has rested from TWEEN
ty-fve years, shall noble column Of pure
marble be erected in token of our apprecis-
ton of the worth, excellence and services Of
one who had no enemies, or, if there was
those who envied him, of whom the envious
could say no harm? Who is ready to move
in this matter IN. T. Times.

DR.. YoUNNG's HAPPY IMPRoMTU.-
Perhaps one of the happiest and most ele-
CANT impromptus ever uttered was the fol-
lowing, by DR.. Young, author of the
Night Thoughts, when walking in his
garden with two ladies, one of whom he
afterwards married. On being called a
way by his servants to speak to parish
ioner on some pressing business, he was
very unwilling 10 leave the ladies, and, on
being almost driven into the house by
their gentle violence, he thus addressed
them:
"Thus Adam once at Gods command wa,
driven
From paradise by angels sent from Heaven
Like him go, and yet to go am 10th
Like him go, for angels drove US both.
Hard was his fate, but mine still more un
kind
His Eve went with him. but mine stays be
/ hind.o
