at the station, but we heard the whistle Of the
locomotive, not very distant; and those few
sweet waiting moments-what world OF bless
ed anticipation they held. The sun was rising
-ah, Lizzie! Lizzie
At last the train came up-stopped. We
looked at the windows; only row of sad ia
ces! Lizzie must have sat on the other side.
A few passengers came out, solcmn-faced and
silent. We pressed forward-so did those who
were going out of the train. The conductor
appeared and waved everybody back, then mo-
toned to somebody in the car. Two men came
out and slowly descended the steps, bearing a
lfeless body-a woman, her features covered
by veil. They bore it into the saloon, and
laid it reyerently upon the sofa. Still the con-
ductor waved the crowd back-eXcept our par
ty. He knew us, and turned away his face as
we approached.
Then we knew how it was all except father;
he could not believe. Firmly he raised the veil
from the dead face. Oh, God! all merciful Is
it thus we meet thee, Lizzie, darling, our best
beloved, iLnl IF our hearts!
In brief time we learned the story. Learned
how the Angel If tile Lord had met "Lizzie
before us, in the still twilight Of that Au umn
morning, and after unc pang, terrible, we knew,
but brief, had waited her gentle suirit t. those
who waited FIR her in the hume Of angels"
At the very last stopping-place, Lizzie had
left the car to procure some food for little
child that had fretted all night in the arms Of
a wearied mother. The train stopped but a
moment; it was dusk and none Of the officers
had seen ler lcaveit. She returned hastily, to
find it moving; made a mis-step, fell forward
and the rest is common tale, such as newspa
pers chronicle every week. The beautiful head
with its sunny curls-was what we saw at the
station-housc

SENSIBLE BRIDAL.-The ,Easton {Pa.) Times

Reeder, in which the festivities continued for
number Of days, in series of entertainments
given by the relations of the bride and her
friends. Upon this departure from the too fash.
ionable mode of getting married, and then leav-
ing in the first train, the Times says
We like this old.fashioned, joyous mode of
celebration, which makes such formidable war
on "dull care" and melancholy, because it
marks the happiest era of life with the highest
enjoyment, and making for the anxious editor
an interesting local item and if we could,

TIE OLD MAID.-From book entitled "a

"thc Old Maid :"
She has not married. Under Heaven her
home, her life, her ot are all of her own making.
Bitter OR sweet they have been-it is not ours to
NEEDLE with them, but we can any day see their
results. Wide or narrow as her circle of iutiu.
ence appears, she has exercised her power t.
the uttermUst, and for good. Whether great or
small her talents, she has not let one of them
rust forwant Of usc Whateverthe current of her
existence may have been, and in whatever circun,.
stances it has been placed, she has voluntarily
wasted no portion ofit-not year, not month,
not day. Published or unpublished, this wn.
mans life is goodly chronicle, the ttlc.page of
which you may read in her quiet countenance
her manner, settled cheerful and at ease; her
unfailing interest in all things and all people
You will rarely fn'l she thinks much about her.
self; she has never hal time for it. And this
her lite-clroaicle, which out OF its very fulness,
has taught her that the more one does, the more
1ne finds to do-she will never flourish in your
face, Or the face of Heaven, as something un.
commonly virtuous and extraordinary She
knows that, after all, she has simply done what
1 was her duty to do.
But-and when her place is vacant on earth, |
his will be said of her assureily, both here and
She haM done wItat she could."

ON WHISKY.


OF all the plaques that scourge mankind,
There's none that so impairs the mind,
And renders it to virtue blind,
AS whisky.
Whut is the cause of every i'll
That does with pains the body fill?
1t is the oft repeated gill
Of whisky.
What is it some do love so well,
For which their bodies they would sell,
And send their very souls to hell
'Tis Whisky!
What is it poisons all their lives,
And makes men beat and curse their wives
Aud thousands Y destruction drivcs7

HEAVEN.

HEAVEN.
Oh, Heaven is nearer than mortals think,
When they look with trembling dread
At the misty future that stretches on
From the silent home of the dead.
'Tis no lone isle in boundless main,
No brilliant but distant shore,
Where the lovely ones who are called away
Must 60 to return no more.
No; Heaven is near us-the mighty veil
Of mortality blinds the eye,
That We see not the angel bands
On the shores of eternity.
Yet oft, in the hours of holy thought,
To the thirsting soul is given
That power to pierce thro' the mists of sense
To the beauteous scenes of Heaven.
Then very near seem its pearly gates,
And sweetly its harpings fall;
Till the soul is restless to soar away,
And longs for the angel call.
I know, when tho silver cord is looscd,
When the veil is rent away,
Not long and dark shall the passage be
To the realms of endless day.
The eye that shuts in dying hour,
Will open the next in bliss;
The welcome will sound in heavenly world,
Ere the farewell is huShed in this.
.
We pass from the clasp of mourning friends,
To the arms of the loved and lost;
And the smiling faces will greet us then
Which on earth we have valued most.

WHAT DRUNKARD MEANS,

Some one answers this question after the fol-
lowing style-we know not the author-and in
the absence of that knowledge, appropriate the
article:
Lest should seem to claim too much for the
name of God and thus loose all, I will take q
few illustrations and show that the names of all
things designate our notions of those things, and
that the name enlarges in proportion as our no.
tions enlarge. For example: What is meant
by the word "drunkard ?" it is o name; and
what is implied in this name? To the unthnk-
ing, it means nothing more than a worthless,
disrcputable, despicable wretch. 10 the rum.sel-
Ter, it means poor ragged, thirsty customer,
who brings his pay in small sums who is always
thirsty, always profane, and always welcome
when he has money. But to his family what
different meaning the name of "drunkard"
has! 1t means faithless husband, a brutal
father, an everlasting shame, and a perpetual
dread.
And what does this word "drunkard" mean 10
the thinking man, the philanthropist, and the
Christian? 1t means a violater of the laws Of
health and, deeency; an offender against the du-
ties and charities of home a neglector and des-
piser of morality and religion. A blot, a stain,
and a burden. A living libel on his race. An
outcast from the decencies of life poor, pita.
bic offender, who is destroying every fair thing
in his body and SOUL and while bringing blush.
es and tears to the eyes and cheeks of all about
him, is preparing to make his bed in hell.
