He's gone Ye stood beside the little bed
And watched the breathing of the last deep sigh
And bitterly with grief your bosoms bled
To think that he the only one, must die;
Softly the tiny limbs ye soothed to rest,
Now pale and liteless as the chiseled stone
One last long kiss, upon whose cold lips pressed,
Then left him with his God aud Death alone.
He's gone Ye stood beside the open grave,
And heard the cold clod on his coffin fall;
Thus back to God his choicest gift We gave.
His choicest blessing, and your cherished all
Oh ! it was bitter bitter grief to know
An agony too great for words to speak
An agony of fearful, speechess Woe;
Yet woe the heart must bear-or, bearing break.
He's gone Yet, oh were it not better thus
To lay him in his little grave away;
The virgin gold, untouched by tainting dross,
Spotless and pure on his natal day
Were it not better thus than see that brow
Grow cloudy with the storms of wrath and care;
That frame with guilt, and sin, and sorrow bow
That bright glance quail in anguish and despair.
Ave better, better, far its hard to bear;
'Tis hard to feel forever he is gone;
Hard to suppress the overhowing tear
To bear the rod and say Thy will be done =
But He who watcheth DER a sparrow's fall,
Aud tempereth the wind to the shorn lamb,
viii turn your tears to smiles of joy, and all
The sorrows Of your bnrdened hearts will calm.

BAYARD TAYLOR WITH THE FINNISH GIRLS
Bayard Taylor has come novel adventures in
his Northern European tour, and meets with
strange customs and curiosties
In his last letter he tells about stopping a
couple of nights with vary friendly old Finnish
lady, where he got bed with sheets. The first
night the mother and her sons were amazed to
see him uudress before retiring, that they were
curiosity hound, and did not leave their stand
point in the room until he was snugly covered
up. The revelation of what they had seen, to
other members of the family, produced most
wonderful audience the second night. On this
occasion he writes :
Three buxom daughters. of age ranging from
sixteen to twenty two appeared about The time
for retiring and stationed them in a row near the
door, where they watched us with silent curos-
ty. As we had shown no hesitation in the first
case, we determined to be equally courageous
now, and commenced removing our garments
with deiberation, allowing them to fully inspect
them. The work thus proceeded in mutual 81
lence until we were nearly ready for repose, when
by pulling off stocking and displaying the mus
cular calf, suddenly alarmed the youngest, who
darted to the door and rushed out. The second
caught the panic and followed and the third and
oldest was obliged to do likewise though with
evident reluctance. Tho perfect composure Of
the girls, and the steadiness with which they wit
messed us, showed that they were quite uncon-
scious of having committed any improprety.'

hotels sent out for clergymcn, and were mar
riod The young man paid the fee, took mar

couple.
A few days since the young man called upon
the clergyman with his certificate and wished
to get it dated back.
How far back do you wish to get it dated 2
enqurcd the clergyman.
Why, as near as we can calculate, about
couple of months, replied the young man.
This the clergyman seemed to decline doing.
but the young man wished ho would, as he had
rather give FIVE dollars than not to have 1t dated
back The clergyman regretted the necessity OF
dating back the certificate, aud was very sorry
he could not comply with his wishes and the
Young man left with his i've do liars and marriage

adopted u. We will at give something. 2.
We will each give according to our ability. 8.
We will give willingly. At the close OF the
meeting leading negro took his seat at the Ia
bic with pen and ink, to put down what each
came to contribute. Many advanced to the ta-
bic, and handed in their contributions, some
more aud some less. Among the contributors
was an old negro, who was very rich, almost as
rich as the rest united. lie threw down smah
silver coin.
Take dat back again" said the chairman of
the meeting. 4" Dat may be 'cordn to the fust
resolution but not 'cordn' to the second"
The rich old man accordingly took 1t up, and
after another came forward, aud all giving moro
than himself, he was ashamed, aud again threw
piece of money on the table, saying
Dar--take dat p
II WAS valuable piece of gold but il was
given with so much ill-temper that the chairman
answered
:" No. sab, dat Won't do Dat may be 'cordin'
to the iust and second resolutions, but not cor
kin ia de third"
lie was obliged to take il up again. Still an
CRY with himself tho rich old negro sat long
tune, until nearly all were gone and then ad-
yanced to the table, and with a smile on his
countenanes, laid large sum Of money on the
table.
Oar, now, berry well,r said the presiding
negro dat will do dat am 'cordin' to alt do

This simple narrative contains in a nut-sheli
the whole formula OF benevolence.

She is swinging at anchor in the channel Of that
stream, (Which she seems to 6ll entirely up) for,

THEN AND Now The church bells Of the old
en- time are ringing in our ears and their melo-
dies are stirring the heart-waves until they al
most overflow out of our eyes Their music Ia
sounding smoothly over the green graves of low
ed whose bright spirits are far away In bet
ter land. 1t is gliding among the flowers which
brightly bloom among those tiny mounds, and
which seem to grow brighter for the harmony.
II is mnrmuring through the green leaves and
US it passes they whisper 1t an Affeotonate fare
well. 1t kisses the babblng brook in the mea-
dows, and sails onward, to the great unknown
void. We hear 1t in our dreams by day, and
when slhmber shuts the eyelds, 1t lulls us to-
sleep at night. 1t brings back old memories OF
those dearer than life, who have not yet passed
away and we fancy heaven to be nearer than the
cold world would have It. II leads us backward
to the golden world of childhood, and tinges the
gloom of maturer years With the sheen OF that
happy time. IL whispers OF u beloved mother
and aifectonate father. by whose side we have
wandered of beautiful Sabbath morning to the
house Of God. IL has mingled with an unseen
choir whose music like warbllngs from Angel
lips has soothed us until We thought that life
was glorious dream, and earth was an Elysium
where spirits might dwell In spotless purity for
ever.
Alas how the scenes have changed In our
mountain home the bells chime not on tho quiet
Sabbath. and the voice of praise ascends not to
that upper country" high above the highest
of our mountains. The birds In the forest chant
Ing their songs the green leaves rustling in tue
breeze, the flowers with their perfume, aud the
insects hummiug in the bright sunshine are all
the same, and all praise the unknown author Of
their existence, but here the chinking gold is
pleasanter to the ear than the sounding chimes
aud the calculations of cent. per cent more
agreeable than calculations for happiness in
better world hereafter. Give us a connecting
link between here aud there-a ladder on which
we can climb at least one day In seven and be
beyond the reach OF Mammon and bis votares-

What is 9 letterS Let affection tell .., F.;
A tongue that speaks for those who absent dwell,
A silent language uttered to the eye,
Which envious distance would In vain deny;
A link to bind where circumstances part, ,,
A nerve of feeling stretched from heart to heart,
Formed to convey, like an electric chain,
The mystic aash---the lightning Of the brain
And thrill at once, through its remctest link,
The throb Of passion by drop of ink.

He lived faithful, died pure and rests in

his bosom filed with fear, remorse and despair,
till life itself shall be burdensome to him-Par-

great who have gone before, and be waiting in
anticipation of glorious rection-while the
name Of his assassin shall be first execrated, then

A Coon ONE--A young parson lost his way in
forest, and it being vehemently cold and rainy,
he happened upon poor cottage, and desired n
lodging or hay loft to stay in, and some fire TO
warm him. The man told him that he and his
wife had but one bed, and IL he pleased to lay
with them, he should be welcome. The parson
thanked him, and kindly accepted it. In the NOR
ming the man rose to go to market. and Meeting
some of his neighbors he fell to laughing. They
asked him what made him SO merry about the
mouth, Why says he, can't but think how

THE WAY TO HEALTH.

Which is the way to Health? the Hy-
dro-path, the Allo-path, or the Homco-
path? Where there are so many paths
it is so hard to know which to follow
Elnaira republic.
The Syracuse Journal makes the fcl-
lowing sensible answer to our queries:
"The only true path" to Health is
that which common sense dictates to
man. Live within bounds of reason
Eat moderately-drink temperately-
sleep regularly-avoid excess in any
thiDg-and preserve conscience "void
of offence" Some men eat themselves
to death-some drink themselves to
des'h-some wear out their lives by
in6olence-and some by over exertion-
others are killed by the doctors, while
not a few sink prematurely into the
grave under the effects of vicious and
beastly practices. None of the Pathies
are worth farthing to a man who is
constaetly and habitually violating the
laws Of his own nature. All the medical
science in the world cannot save him
from premature grave.
We know scores of young men who
are thus running themselves. 1t is sad
to see the strong frame of manhood en-
ervated and effeminated in the prime of
life-to see the cheek become pale, the
eye dim, the nerves unstrung, and the
mind enfeebled at The very line when
strength is needed and d,health most de-
sirable. Yet such cases are numerous
in this age of excessive indulgence and
youthful depravity. The remedy must
be sought in something beside the apoth-
ecary's shop, or the doctors kuspsack.
Moral culture. temperance, and dis
Greet economy Of the natural resources
of body and mind, constitute the true
"way to Health"
The Hydropath, the Allopath, and
the Homeopath may all be very service
able 10 those who are wise enough to
take care of themselves. But they
might as we'll "throw physic to the
dogs" as to prescribe it 10 fools, brandy
/ drinkers and debaucbees
(Which is the way to health?" Con-
suit your own good sense avoid grog.
shops and evil associations, and pre-
serve unimpaired the functions of your
heinn
