" hose hearts he has made glad, tell OF his
nuu.berlegs acts Of kindness, of his deli
cate aud unceesiug watchfulness, and dal-
ly they ask Gods blessing on him whose
lie is blessing to others.
In his own home, tie wife whose love
should bless him, whose gentle ministry
should comfort and strengthen him, turns
coldIy from him because he prefers the
happiness or others to his own gratifca-
ton, because the pressing duties OF lie
claim all his waking hours, leaving him
little leisure for the claims of society, or
for the high Intellectual culture nnich
tcS attain whose lives are not wholly Ge-
voted toit.
90, Ralph, never knew you" said
the weeping wife.
The cid inan continued
"Scme men talk poetry, some write it
in their lives. The true heroism which
poets have sung, the beauty of seif-abne-
cation aud of ceuseless devotion to duty,
which have been their inspiration, Ralph
, Hall has lived. The woman who has
won the deepest love of such heart,
should reverently and gratefully cherish
it as the richest blessing of his life"
IN tie twilight of that day, Margaret
was awaiting her husbands return. Amid
the bitter Seif-rcproaching that darkened
the hour, cleaned new and holy light.
Higher purposes we're aroused within her.
/ | i the future, she would make divineIy
real in Ler life the beautiful ideals which

ings. She, 100, would live for others,
and first of all for him, whOn she had SO
misunderstood.

she was clasped in ker husbands arms.
''Tou have been very III, said Il voice
filtcring with emotion, "hut thank God,

garet's heart.
In that hour all was made clcar be.
tween them. With new resolves for the
future, with a deeper .oye for each other,
and prayer for strength, another page
.of life Was turned for tIcm.
A few years afterwards, Margaret, a
proud and happy wife, writes: II can

Tiae CGlIG's Evening Prayer.

Who, that has lived through vars of
ceaseleas gaity, or sorrow, or crime, has
forgotten that little prayer SO often MUIR
INJURED at the mothers knee -
"Now lay me down to sleep,
pray the Lord ny soul to keep;
If should die before l wake,
pray the Lord my soul to take"
The origin of this stanza it is difficult
to trace. 1t appeared in the '' New Eng
land Primer" more than four score years
ago, and was probaoly then as many years
older, although some have ascribed it to
Dr.. Watts. Many a ore, during long
long lie, never reJlreS to bed without re-
peating tic above prayer OF lis childhood
which, learned from a mothers lips, lie
has been early Taught to lisp. The pre-
vailing sentiment, SO subhrlely simple,
however childishIy expressed, so affected
some poet Of later day, as to originate one
OF the most touching little poems in our
language. The name Of the author Is not
now remembered but his beautiful pro-
dGcticn ought to be lmmortalized by gea-
erai republication every year:
The dreamy night draws nigh;
Soft airs delicious breathe Of mingled flowers,
Ald on tue wings Of slIm6er creep the hours !;
The moon Is high:
See yonder tiny cot,
The lattice decked with vines-a tremulous
ray
Steals out to where the silver moonbeams lay,
Yet pales them not!
Within two holy eyes
Two little hands clasped softly, and brow,
Where thought sits busy, weaying gar!ands
now
Ofjoys and sighs
For the swift coming years
Two rosy lips with innocent worship part
Last be thou silcnt-or skeptic, If thou art
Thou must have ears:
Now lay nc down to sleep,
| pray the Lord my soul to keep;
If | should die before | wake,
! ! pray the Lord my soul to take"
| Doth it not noiseles3 ope
! The very hoodgatcs of thy heart, and make
A better man Of thee for her sweet sake,
! Who, with strong hope,
Her sweet task ne'er forgot
/ To whisper, "Eow | lay" Ger and DER
! As thou .ls't kneel upoa the sanded loor-
Amidst the songs,
! the merry laugh, the jest,
! Come to ncr vision songs Of long ago,
/ When by her snowy couch she murmured low,
Before her rest,
! That single infants prayer;
/ Once more at home, she lays her jewels hy,
/ Throws back her curls that shade her heavy
eyes,
| And kneeling there,
With quiyering lip and sigh,
Takes from her fingers white the sparkling
rings,
The golden coronet from her BROW, and fings
The hauhes by;
Nor dC;h she tEoughtleSs dare
To seek her rest, till she had asked of Heaven
Tlat all ner sins, through Christ may be
forgiven
Then comes the prayer
Now lay me down to sleep,
l Ipray the Lord my sou, to keep;
If should die before / wake,
pray the Lord my soul 10 take"
The warrior on ;le iicid,
! After the battle plIlowing his head
/ Perhaps upon fallen comrade dead
1 Scorns not to yield
/ To the swee. memories of bis childhoods hour,
/ When fame was bagtered for a crimson flower
Tine statesman gray,
! His massive brow all hung with laurel leaves,
| Forgets his honors while hi5 memory weaves,

vile, has been postponed to the fourth
Tuesday (the 24th) Of January, to ena-
bic the committees to complete their re-

charge of the duty which entities them
10 the thanks of the Board. They have
had the services Of Mr.. Patrick Burke
for several weeks in arranging and COL

the exhibit, for a panic year, will be We

TnE VIRGINIA TRAaEDY.-Great excite
ment has prevailed in Suffolk, Va, caused
by horrible outrage on the person of Mr..
VIM. Brothers, respectable citizen, by two
negroes. Several of his ribs were fractured,
one of his arms was broken, and the hand of
the other entirely chopped off. Other parts
of his body were so mutilated that his recov-
cry was despaired of. The instrument used
was an AK, with which one of the fends tried
to dash his brains out. By great exertion
the unfortunate man succeeded in warding
of the blows from his head, but they fell
with terrible effect upon his body. Believing
they had succeeded in killing him, they went
to his house, where they destroyed the furni-
ture, and robbed the drawers. They were
arrested, however, and Immediately exc
cuted.

TOILET INTELLIGENCE.

Cologne, according to distinguished
modern poet, is tbs most unsavory of cities.
New York, in the muddiest season, is q rim
aioretts III comparison with it. But if the |
efAuva of the streets Of Cologne cannot be
matched in this country, the toilet water for
which it is celebrated is OF least eoualled, II
not surpassed, by an article of American
manufacture. We profess to be something
of connoissicur in perfumery, and can dis
tinguish the varieties of fragrance, and assign
to each its place in the scale OF excellence,
as accurately as musical critic can discrim-
mate between different styles of music. We
have shifted the finest Maria Farina made
in Prussia, and we have inhaled tho aroma
of the purest floral essence ever prepared in
| this courtry-MrIRAY d LANMAN's FLORIDA
| WATER. Unless prejudice in favor Of
home article perverts our judgement. the
| latter is the superior perfume. tits less pun
gent, more delicate. and equally lasting
| This opinion comedies with that of our lady
acquaintances, and "a the finely organized
nervous system of the sex renders them the
| very best authorities in such matters, we con-
slider the rule "made absolute" as the law
yers say. 1t is not exactly poetical to min
gle pecuniary considerations with the breath
Of flowers, but perhaps 1t may not be amiss
to hint, for the information OF those who are
fond Of dollars as well as scents. that the
Florida Water is much less costly than the
German or even the French Eau de Colognc
There was q time when American luxuries
and elegancies had small honors in the land
of their manufacture; and our iashionables
recognized nothing as supcr-excellent in tha
line that had not the foreign stamp. Blu
we believe the day when the perfumers t
, royalty were supposed to possess exclusivel,
the fragrance creating faculty has passeC
: away with other funkeyisms Of our ancestors
4 Besides, MURRAY e. LANMAN's FLORIDA WA
TER has foreign reputation at least equal Z
that of the veritable Farina. Look at tn
South and Central American papers and yo
: will set it quoted in the prices current as
v staple of trade. The consumption in tina
. region, in Mexico, and in Cuba, is immense
e and, in fact, it had reached the acme of &c
: lebrity there, before the proprietors intro
d duced it in the United States. 1t is alread
v a standard article with our first-class drug
:. gists, and its popularity is likely to interfei
's seriously with the importations Of Europea
d Toilet Waters. "Comparisons are oderous,
h as Mrs. Malaprop sententiously observes, b.
&c we really prefer it to any of them.- Gdzet
