What the wind saws.

"Do you know what the winters
wind says, grandpa?" asked little
child at an old merchants knee.
"No, puss; what does it?'' he ans
wered stroking her fair hair.
Remember tho poorp Grandpa,
when it comes down the chimney it
roars, Remember the poorp when
it puts its great mouth to the
keyhole it aOhistles, Remember the
poorp when it strides through crack
in the doorit wbispers it; and grandpa,
when it blows your beautiful silver hair
in the street, and you shiver and button
up your coat, does it not get at your
ear, and say so too, in a small voice,
grandpa?"
"Why, what, does the child menn?
cried pa, who, I am afraid, had been
used to shut his heart against such
words. "You want a new muff and
tippet, I reckon; a pretty way to get
them out of our old grandfather"
"No, grandpa said the child, ear
nestly, shaking her head; ''nO; its the
no muff and tippet children I'm think
ing of; my mother always remembers
them, and so do try"
After the next storm the old mer-
chant sent fifty dollars to the treasurer
of a relief society, and said, "Call for
more when you wantit." The treasurer
started with surprise, for it was the
first time he had ever collected more
than a dollar from him, and that he
thought, came grudgingly.
"Why," said the old merchant,
afteward, 81 could never get rid Of
that child's words; they stuck to me
like glue"

Did He Die For Me?

A little child sat quietly upon its
mothers lap. Its soft blue eyes were
looking earnestly into the face which
was beaming with love and tenderness
for the cherished darling. The maternal
lips were busy with story. The
tones of the voice were low and serious
for the tale was one of mingled sadness
and joy. Sometimes they scarcely
rose above whisper, but the listening
babe caught every sound. The crimson
deepened on its little cheek, as the
story went on increasing in interest.
Tears gathered in its earnest eyes, and
low sob broke the stiffness as its
myther concluded. Amoment and the
ruby lips parted, and in tones made
tremulous by eagerne8s, the child in
quired:

of pure water, refreshing to many a
faint and disheartened denizen of this
cold world Of ours. No new measure
is propOsed-no new principles of
science, art, politics or mechanics is
promulgated, but these busy printers
these ready thinkers-seize upon it,
and proceed to enlighten the public
upon its bearings and applications
for wonderfully practical setare they.
Educated, as they generally, are in the
sternest of all systems, that Of hard
won experience, they look at life as a
reality, divested of false adornings and
outward shows. By the time thatthey
arrive at manhood's years, for their
printer life must commence early
they have the right to stand among
men many years their seniors and call
them equals. The poor boys college
has fitted them for such life struggle
as few outsiders know of. With a
brave heart and slim purse-often
with naught but his rule in bis pocket
many tJpo leaves the scenes of
his earlier experience to go forth to
seek his fortunein some dissatisfaction.
If every thing else fails him you may
rest assured that his stock of brass
will not. With this and an indomita-
bleperSeverence, and without particle
of greeness, you may trust the jour
printer to make his way wherever he
may place himself.

How Murat Died.

The sentence of the military COM
mission was read to him with due
solemnity. He listened to it, as he
would have listened to the cannon of
another battle during his military life,
without emotion or bravado. He
neither asked for pardon, for delay,
nor for appeal. He had advanced of
his own accord, toward the door as if
to accelerate the catastrophe. The
door opened on a narrow esplanade
lying between the towers of the castle
and the outer walls. Twelve soldiers
NTH loaded muskets awaited him there.
The narrow space did not permit him
to stand at a sufficient distance to de-
prive his death of part of his honor.
Murat, in stepping over the threshold
of the chamber, found himself face to
face with them. He refused to have
his eyes bandaged, and, looking at the
soldiers with firm and benevolent
smile, said
"My friends, do not make me suffer
by taking bad aim. The narrow space
compels you almost to rest the muzzle
of your muskets on my breast; do not
strike me in the face aim at my heart
here it is"
AS he spoke thus, he placed his
right hand upon his coat, to indicate
the position of his heart. In his left
hand he held small medallion, which
contained, in one focus of love, the
image of his wife and four children
as if he wished thus to make them
witnesses Of his last look. He fixed
his eyes on this portrait, and received
the death-blow in the contemplation o.
all he loved on earth. His body pierced
at so short distance with twelve balls
fell, with his arms open and his face
towards the earth, as if still embracing
the kingdom he once possessed, anC
which he had come to re-cOnquer fol
his tomb. They threw his cloak upOr
his body, which was buried in th'
Cathedral of Pizzi. Thus died tn,
most chivalrous soldier of the imperia
epoch-and the greatest-but the mos
heroic figure among the champions 0
the new Alexander.

keen YOur Temper.

Emma, almost stamping with vgEatiOn.
"Somebody always takes my things
and looses them" She had mislaid
some Of her sewing Supplements.
aThere is one thing" remarked
mamma, ''that think you might keep
if you would try"
81 should like to keep even one
thing" answered Emma.
"Well, then, my dear" resumed
mamma, "keep your temper; if you
will only do that, perhaps, you would
find it easy to keep other things. 1
dare say, now, if you had employed
your time in searching for the missing
articles, you might have found them
before this time; but you have not
even looked for them. You have only
got into a passion bad way Of
spending time, and you have accused
somebody, and very unjustly, too, of
taking away your things and losing
them. Keep your temper, my dear ;
when you have mislaid any article,
keep your temper and search for it,
You had better keep your temper, if
you lose all the little property you
possess; getting into passion never
brings any thing to light except dis
tOrted face, and by losing your temper
you become guilty of two sins-yor
yet into passion, and accuse some
body of being the cause. So, my dear

The Tragedian Booth and the Lords
Prayer. d -

Booth and several friends had been
invited to dine with an old gentleman
in Baltimore, of distinguished kindness
urbanity and piety. The host, though
disappearing Of theaters and theater-
going had heard so much of Booths
remarkable powers, that curiosity to
see the man in this instance, overcome
all his prejudices. After the enter
tainment was over and company re-
seated in the drawing room, some one
requested Booth as a particular favor,
and one which doubtless all present
would appreciate, to read the Lords
Prayer. Booth expressed his willing
ness to afford them this qualification,
and all eyes were turned expectantly
upon him. Aae
Booth rose slowly and reverently
from his chair. 1t was wonderful to
watch the play of emotions that con-
vulsed his countenance. He became
deadly pale, and his eyes turned trem-
bling upward, were wet with tears
As yet he had not spoken. The silence
could be felt. 1t became absolutely
painful, until at last the spell was
broken, as if by an electric shock, as
rich toned voice, from white lips,
syllabled forth, "Our father, who art in
Heaven" &C., with pathos and SOL
emnity that thrilled all hearts.
He finished. The silence continued.
Not voice was heard, or a muscle
moved in his wrapt audience, until
from remote corner of the room, a
subdued sob was heard, and the old
gentleman, their host, stepped forward
with streaming eyes and tottering
frame, and seized Booth by the hand.
"Sir," said he, in broken accents,
"you have afforded me pleasure for
which my whole future life will feel
gratifed. I am an old man, and every
day from my boyhood to the present
time, thought I had repeated the
Lords Prayer, but I have never heard
it before, never"
"You are right" replied Booth, "to
read that prayer as it should be read.

So great was the effect produced
(says my informant, who was present,

soon after, at an early hour, the com
