teriors, if it is delicately expressed.
The conversation proceeded. Joe
proved to the fair essayist tina: che was
! in error, and astounded her by the
depths of his thoughts, the variety of
his knowledge and the elegance ofhis
diction.
On leaving, he held out his hand
almost as soft and white as her own
and she, sitting the last traces of a
false prejudice, gave it cordial pres
sure.
''You have not long worked at your
trade2" she said.
"Since my 6oyhood," unblushingly
answered Joe, "but-"and he glanced
at his hands-"I have generally done
the nicer kinds of work-joinory, and
the like" n. .
This excuse passed very we'll with
q woman who had never had the hon

before.
The next day, when Joe heard the
window opened, he presented himself,
and after exchanging salutations, the
twain again fell into a discussion,
which become so earnest that Joe was
compelled once more to enter the
room.
Alas, for the progression OF the new
cornice! ..........
For two weeks this state of affairs
continued, and at the expiration Of
that time, Louise Huntington was
compelled, mauger her pride, to &C

, Finally, when the cornice had to b
finished, Louise petitioned her fathe
to have an ornamental wardrobe pu
up in her chamber. OF course, Jo
had the task, although the old Como
dore grumbled terribly about employ
I ing such a slow workman.
1t took Joe six weeks to make tha
wardrobel .
I BY the time the job was done
very nicely done it was, too-Joe's
theory was quite done up, and the
sweet Louise Huntington had prom,

her father-in spite of Joe's blue ov-
erals and paper cap-in spite of the
notions of the world
Sensible girl! 81.
There was only one thing left fo
Joe to do--to reveal to her his tru

A Coop 'UN.-The Pittsburg Dis.

its friends, who is styled the Doctor.
One ut them is as follows.
The Doc. had also a way of claim
ing everybody, who was at all distin-
guished, as a cousin, uncle, or other
relative Of himself. One day Jim
asked him whether he knew one Jo-
seph NJ, of - county, Mo. p
OF course the Doc. didn't know any
body else.' jim mentioned his occu-
patton, described his personal appear
ance, spoke of his wealth; all agreed
with the Doctors views-it was 'his
own uncle by his mothers side,' he
said. I'm sorry I've bad news for
you, Doc.,' said Jim, deliberately
drawing from his pocket a ST. Louis
paper, and reading an advertisement
of the Sheriff of - CO., No., offer
ing 1850 reward for the arrest of
Joseph M aforgcr, who had
escaped from custodyp There was
no getting ont Of the scrape, and 'the

Ten Degrees.

A few days since a friend came TO
US in the saddest Of plights. lie was
almost destitute Of clothing. An old
straw hat, slippers, but no stockings,
no coat, no vest, no cravat, tears run
ming down his face. lie was al dis
cOuraged. lie was about to give up
his business, his health had failed him,
his family were sick, his taxes unpaid
the crops looked bad, stocks were
down, Cleveland was dusty and de-
creasing in population. The city gov
ernment was in the hands Of scamps,
the State treasury hopelessly bank
rupt, the National treasury ditto, the
Democratic party split, the Atlantic
telegraph failure, Kansas enslaved,
the Mormons triumphant, the Indians
in revolt, the English firing into our
merchant-men-in a word, all was
going to ruin, and our friend was
about going to Minnesota. The rea-
son was the thermometer had hung at
eighty degrees from eight o'clock a.
M. till nine Z. M. more, and not less,
for a week past. IFo had no conso-
lation to offer--our heart almost melt
ed within us, as we contemplated his
misery. Yesterday he came into the
office, in patent leather shoes, white
vest, black cloth coat, silk cravat, and
beaver hat. "No tear was in his eye"
He had just invested ten thousand
dollars in rolling mill on the Lake
shore; Cleveland prospects never were
better, nor was he or his family
BreSlin was going to diSgorge. The
Mormons were giving up war and
polygamy. Kansas would be all
right. English outrages had ceased.
He intended building new house on
Euclid street. His family should re-
main here--it was as good as sarato.

Near TIE Lake where dropped the willow,
Long time ago,
Where the rock threw back the billow,
Brighter THAN snow
Dwelt A . lid, beloved and cherished
By high and low;
But with autumn's breath she persisted
Long time ago
Rock, and tree, and flowing water,
Long time ago
Bird, and bee, and blossom taught her
Loves spell to know,
While TO my fond words she listened,
Murmuring low,
Tenderly her dove eyes glistencd,
Long time ago
Can now forget her? Nevcrl
No, lost one no
To her grave those tears are given,
Ever so low
She's the star missed from Heaven

How A CHuRCu WAS CURED OF FREE-
MoYrIsM The Hartford Times relates
the following:
A Congregational church in a neigh
boring State gotso completely enlisted in
the Presidential contest, for Fremont
and jesse, that little attention was given
to religious questions. The minister
was constantly preaching, praying, and
exhorting upon political issues, and
the deacops and the laymcn followed
suit at the prayer and conference meet
,ings. Finally aworthy old fargler, ono
of the staunchest and best members o.
the church, and firm undertaking dem,
ocrat, was called upon to offer a prayer

HOME OBLIGATION.

A very considerable proportion of a
childs education must of necessity be
communicated at home. This is a fact
which parents and guardians of youth do
not sufficiently consider. At school, I'M
der the management of system and by
the rule the scientific studies are pursued
but at home in the familiar process of
affectionate intercourse and without sys-
TEN, information is communicated and
impressions are made, Which in spite ,of
the system of the school, 4ber the con
troll in the formation of character. AS
sisted by the home Influence, the teacher
is all potent in the control of his pupil,
and in the building up and establishment
of his character. But in the neglect of
home, the labor and difficulty of the
teacher is more than doubled. He has
to overrule and overcome the evil of neg
lect and influence of habit which indul-
gence produces. This struggle is against
both wind and tide, his chance for sue
cess most uncertain. The experience of
almost every instructor of youth impcls
the charge of wrong, aud frequently
ruin, by the culpable neglect of pupils
at home.
But it may be asked what can be done
at home in order to sanction the teachers
efforts and to tighten his labors The
answer Everything that is necessary
to secure the desired result. And of
what elements is that everything COM
posed? But few of these clements may
be named in brief article upon sub
ject which requires volumes to elucidate.
Regularity Of habit in study and in COM
mon affairs of the household, may be
followed and encouraged at home. A
stricter discipline may be enforced. -
Looseness Of speech and conduct may be
avoided. Asystematic course of train
ing may be pursued, and this systematic
course of training may be enforced in
the amusements of the household Books
and other agents Of study and intelligence
may be substituted for the common toys
Of the child's pastime. Something in a
business way may be given the youth and
chlld 10 do, as the keeping OF record Of
the operations Of the family during each
day, or Of his own pursuits, including
his pastime and his plays. A regular
diary Of the days proceedings. An ac-
count of individual operation A regis
ter Of the condition of the weather, and
remarks upon it. A recognition in the
way of record of the thoughts that GER
tain events produce. These and other
innumorable agents in the accomplish
ment Of tho desired object may be used
and if continued with the regularity of
system, they must be clTectual in the ac-
complishmcnt of the purpose for which
they are intended. Let the experiment
be made by the heads of families, and
results will soon be apparent. Nothing
perhaps, is more effective upon the mind
and heart of child than the frequent
account to which it may bring itself in
relation to conduct character and the
affairs Of life. Let those having charge
Of youth make the experiment and thoy
will find that it will repay their exer-
tions.

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF THE NEGRO. -
The Liverpool Post says 4" There are
twenty times as many 'niggers' in Afri-
ca as in all the West India Islands and on
the American Continent, and five hundred
fold worse. They are the most misera-
bic Of human beings-the most degraded
of men. They have always been SO
the sun for six thousand years at least,
has looked down upon and found them
not only black and curly" but the most
debased of slaves. 1t was not the white
man who did this-the black man was
the tyrant. A transfer to the white man
was bliss; bondage remaincd-but how
different from chains imposed on them
on their native soil and their original
dwelling place." The Post again asks (:
" Is there any hope for the future ?'-
which it answers, "not if things arc
allowed to remain as they are. The
aptitude Of the negro for civilization
presents only individual example; the
mass have been savage They arc now
savages in Africa. There is no use
questioning the fact-it is true. Brought
within the control and influence Of the
white man it might be difTerent-would
be different; but ordinary circumstances
will never overcome obstacles to the ex-
tent Of that influence. Released from
the presence of civilization, the negro
will relapse into the barbarism Of his
race"

Wild OATs Tho definition Of "wild

filled with small Walls and medical pre-

TIE SISTER. -- There is something
lovely in the name Of sister, and its ut
teranco rarely fails to call up the warm
affections Of the gentle heart. The
thoughts that circle round it are all quiet,
beautiful, and pure. Passion has no
place with its associations. The hopes
and fears Of love, those strong emotions,
powerful enough to shatter and extin-
guish life itself, find no home there. --
The bride is the star, the talisnan Of the
heart, the diamond above all price, bright
and blazing in the MONDAY sun; a sister
the gem Of milder light, calm as the
mellow moon, and set in corones Of
pearls.
