The Old Folks Room,

The old man sat by the chimney side
lis face was wrinklcd and wan,
And he leaned both hands on his stout oak cane
AS if all his work was done.
His coat was of good old fashioned gray,
The pockets were deep and wide
Where his specs and his steel tobacco-box
Lay snugly side by side.
Tie old rIan liked to stir the fire,
So near him the tongs were kept;
Sometimes he unused as he gazed ON the Goals,
Sometimes he sat and slept
What saw he ii the embers therc2
All! pictures Of other years;
And now and then awakened smiles,
But oftener started tears.
His good wife sat on the other side,
In q high backed, flag sea; chair;
see meath the pile of her muslin cap,
The sheen of her silvery hair.
There's a happy look on her aged face,
And she busily knils for him,
And Nellie takes up the stitches dropped,
For erandmother's eyes are dim.
Their childrereas.ne and read the news,
To pass the time each day;
Haw Ii stirs the blood in an old mans heart,
To hear Of the world away.
It's q homelv scene told you 50,
But pleasant it is to view;
At least thought it so myself,
And sketchcd it down for you.
Be kind unto the old my friend
They're worn with this worlds strife,
Though brayely once perchance they fought
The stern, fierce battle of life.
They taught your youthful feet to climb,
Upward lfe's rugged steep;
Then let us gently lead them down
To where the weary sleep.

Marian. Jimmie has never forgotten
you. Since the day you were so kind to
him and gave him this book, his life has
had one great aim, and that was to attain
to greatness, and in after years to meet
that ministering angel who was the
sweetener of my days of poverty. When
| left your house with this book, re-
turned to my humble home ten times
happier, and went assiduously to work to
learn to read. My mother was an inva-
lid, and ere long learned well enough
to read to her.
"When my mother died, found good
friends, and was adopted by gentleman
in W. AS his son | have been ed
ucated. A year ago he died and left his
property to me- OF all the pleasant
memories of my boyhood, the one con-
nccted with you is the dearest. have
kept this primer next to my heart, and
dwelt upon the hope Of again meeting
the giver. I have met her. see all
that my Imagination pictured, and ask
if the dear hand that gave this book can
not be mine forever"
Louise felt deeper grief than ever,
when Marian told her she was to become
the wife of Mr.. Hamilton, the poor boy
whom she once spurned from her door,
and derisively called "intellect in rags"
But she learned a severer lesson, and
one that soon changed the whole current
of her life. For while she Stunned
Mr.. Hamilton, but by persevering kind
ness he made her feel easy in his pres
ence, and she became the acknowledged
friend of the Congressman and his wife.
Years have prssed since then, and
Louise is training up a family of little
ones, but she is teaching them to despise
not intellect in rags, but be guided by
Marian's text, "The rich ard the poor
meet together, and the Lord is the Maker
of them ALL"

BcneyoIence of Pope Plus

We translate an anecdote from DR..
Mach Jerusalem. In Greece our travel
err met an American lady-Miss Dorothea
i. Dix-who, impelcd by the philan-
thropic desire to contribute towards an
Improvement in the treatment of luna
tics, also visited Rome. She told the
Doctor: II visited the lunatic asylum,
and my heart revolted at the sight !
did not see sick persons whom man should
pity, unfortunates whom we should en-
deavor to cure-thoy were brutes in
chains, the dens of which seemed never
10 have been cleansol Several days
after my visit to the lunatic asylum, |
was presented TO His Holiness the Pope,
who knew the object Of my travels. The
Pope asked me- in the most friendly
manner, whether had yea visited the
Asylum at RomeY had the courage
to answer, yes, and am convinced that
your Holiness has not yet paid it visit.
Pic Mono quickly raised his head, and
only asked with an expressive attentive
look | understood him, and related to
him, in voice full Of emotion, all the
horrors and barbarism | had Witnessed.
| ventured, trembling within myself,
upon TIE bold expression of the unchris-
tian treatment of the unhappy beings.
The respect-commanding man Of Chris
tendon listened with earnest attention,
and said briefly, after | had concluded,
Come again in weeks time, and |
then left his presence Ny anxiety WAS
unutterably great. The Protestant, the
stranger, mad perhaps risked too much.
Although ! was conscious in my inner
most heart of my good intentions, | yet
passed sleepless night and a day of the
deepest inward agitation II created
deep sensation when the holy father, two
days after | had been presented to him,
while taking one Of his drives, stopped
before the gate Of the lunatic asylum.
and spent an hour in it The week had
passed, and | stood, as had been COM
manded, in the Vatican before the Pope
In manner as grave as il was calm, Pic
Mono said to mel have appointed
commission charged to lay before mo
propositions concerning tho erection Of II
lunatic asylum conformably to the rules
Of humanity and morality, in the short
est time possible When you visit Rome
again, your just and pious wishes will
have been fulfilled | think you for
your communications. May Heaven
bless you bent my knee, deeply

Christcndom, hut before the wise prince
and good man. "-.IcwiM Chronicle

CURING HAMS.

Az killing time is near at hand, the
following receipt for curing hams, which
we cut from the Scientific AD,eyfcon
will not be out Of place Tho American
says
"As the time is at hand for preparing
these useful stores of rich and sayory
food, few words will not be out Of place
in regard to them The logs Of hogs,
short in the hook, arc the best for hams,
and should be chosen in preference to
lauky hogs They may be sailed by i'm
mersion in clean pickle, containing a
little sugar and saltpetre dissolved, or
they may be sailed by rubbing ground

pepper added 10 the salt will much im-
prove the favor of the meat ltrequircs
about month TO salt hams by the wet
process, and three weeks by the dry sys-
TEN. At tho end Of this period they
should be hung up for a few days to drip.
and then they are ready for smoking -
Much depends on the kind Of matcriui
used for smoking, so as to secure a sweet
favor. Whatever fuel is used for this
purpose, ono condition should never be-
overlooked; il should DO perfectly dry.
or else IL will be liable to impart bitter
taste to the meat. Dry corn cobs and
some dry sweet hay are superior to all
other agents that we have ever seen om-
ployed for smoking beef and hams. --
Mutton hams may be prepared in the
Same manner as those Of pork, aud they
are exceedingly palatablc when the meat
is good, and caro- exercised 10 smoke them

INTELLECT IN RAGS.

It was a black wintry day. Heavy
snow-drifts lay piled up in the streets of
New York, and the whole appearance of

"Out OF thy own mouth" 90.

The Gazette says that Illinois and
Wisconsin money is only worth 80 cts.
on the dollar. The people of this To-
callty very gladly pay 10 cts. premium
for Illinois and Wisconsin, in Florence.
We stated the value of Florence to
be Gs cts. on the dollar, which we
consider a fair estimate. Now the Ga
zette admits that it is worth 20 cts. on
tho dollar. Doing pretty we'll, al
though it is at least two cents too
much. Keep talking. The tendency of
men is to tell the truth, and when they
don't plan to the contrary they gener-
ally do It.

Cook 4 Sargent won't take their own
money for collections, but will take
Illinois; the Rail Road Company won't
take Florence for back freight, but will
take Illinois; wheat is worth so cents

few facts speak louder than all this
