GOING AFTER THE cows.
By MRS. NELLIE c. FEM.

May" said my uncle, as he passed
his cup to be filled the third time,
'wc'rc all busy this evening don't

after supper, and bring up the cows ~
Certainly ! | will so with pleas,

congratulatory rcjoindcr, and, having
finished his meal, he showed back his
chair, and, with a come, boys" don,
ned his slouchcd straw hat, and led
the way to the cornticld.
1t did not take me long to put away

neigh, toward me. "Thcre, let that

bread and butter, and holding him by
the forelock till he had dcvourcd it, |
slipped the bit into his mouth, pulled
his pretty ears through the hcad.stall,

him around to the stable door, | ad.

THE BITTERNESS OF FALSEHOOD

\ dying father once stretched out
his hand to his little white-headed boy,
youth of seven years old, and said
aflectionatcly, "My little boy, am
very sick, and wish you to run down
to Mr.. BIS and get me the medicine
written on this paper" The drug
glst's store was half mile distant,
but when the boy got there he found
it shut ; and, although Mr.. B. lived
but quarter Of mile further off, he
concluded not to go and find him, but
to return home. On his way back he
contrivcd what he should say, and, in
doing SO hc called in the aid of false
hood. Ut length arrived, his father
said, "my son has got the medicine,
| hope, for am in great PAIN The
reply was, " No, sir, Mr.. b. says he
has none" The dying man answered,
My little boy will see his father suC-
fer great pain for want of that mcdi-
cine" The child went out of the
room, alone, and wept bitterly. Soon
after, he was called back to a fond
farewell of his best earthly friend, for
the little boys mother was in Heaven;
and as the dying father told his little
son that in "a few hours he would be a
tatherlcss orphan" that now he
must make God his father, and love
and obey him that he should ALWAYS
speak the truth, because the eve of
God was always upon him, with many
other suitable admonitions, accompa-
MED by prayer-it seemed is if the
child would sink, he felt SO guilty.
Sobbing, he rushed from the bedside,
and wished he could die. The dying
man could now speak no more and,
oh how much would that little boy
have given to ask his fathers forgive
ness for the lie he had so wickedly
told him Oh, how his heart ached!
lie ran to the druggists, got the med
icine, rushed to the dcath-bed scene,
crying out, "Oh, here father" but
he was hushed-his dear father was
dead And the last thing he ever
spoke to him was to tell him a lie
Oh, bitter, bitter falsehood gall aud
wormwood are sweet compared with
thee
Twelve years aiterward, and while
in college, this little boy, now young
man, went to the grave of his father,
and, as he stood over his tombstone,
he seemed to see his pale face again,
and to hear his voice Hear what the
young man says over his fathers
tomb: "Oh, the thought of that sin
cuts me to the heart 1t seems to
me that worlds would not be too much
to give could | onl y call loud enough
for him to hear me ask forgiveness.
But it is too late, and must live and
die weeping over that ungrateful false
hood. which no earthly being can now
forgive. | must sorrow over it with
q Godly sorrow before Him who
abounds in mercy; and from whom
alone the penitent receives forgive
ness

A HEROINE.

Recently, died at Hammcrsmith, in
England, Mrs. Ross, celebrated for her
beauty and constancy. Having met
with opposition in her engagement
with Capt. Charles Ross, she followed
him in mems clothes, when after such
research and fatigue as scarcely
any of her sex could have undergone,
she found him in the woods, lying for
dead, after skirmish with the Indi-
ans, and with pon;ard wound. Hav-
ing studied surgery in England, she,
with an ardor and vigilance which
only such a passion could inspire,
saved his life by sucking his wound,
the only eXpcdiont that could have eff
fccted it at the crisis he was in, and
nursed him, with scarce q covering
from the sky for the space of six
weeks.
During this time she remained I'M
suspected by him, having dyed her
skin with lime and bark, and keeping
to a mans habit, still supported by
the transport of hearing his unceasing
aspirations of love and regret for that
dear, though, he then thought, distant
object of his soul, being charged by
him with transmitting to her, had the
captain died, his remains, and the dy-
ing asseverations Of constancy and
gratitude for the unparalleled care
and tenderness of his nurse, the bear
cr of them but recovering they moved
to Philadelphia, where as soon as she
had found a clergyman to join her to
him forever, she appeared as herself,
the Priest accompanying her.
They lived for the space of four
years in fondncss almost ideal to the
present age of corruption, and that
could only be interrupted by her de-
clining health. The fatigue she had
undergone, and the poison not proper
ly expelled which she had imbibed
from his wound, undermined her con-
stitution. The knowledge he had Of
it, and piercing regret at having been
the occasion, affecting him still more
sensibly, he died with a broken heart
last spring at Johnstown, in New
York. She lived to return and implore
forgiveness Of her family, whom she
had distressed so long by their igno-
rance of her destiny. She died in con-
sequence of her grief and affection.
at the age of twcuty-six.

THE PLAYMATE.
EY JOHN G.. WHITTIER.

The pines were dark on Ramoth hill,
Their song was soft and low;
The blossoms in the sweet May wind
Were falling like the snow.
The blossoms driftcd at our feet
The orchard birds sang clear;
The sweetest and the saddcst day
1t seemed Of all the year
For more to me than birds or flowers,
My playmate left her home,
And took with her the laughing spring,
The music and the bloom
She kissed the lips of kith and kin,
She lail her hand in mine:
What more could ask the lastful hoy
Who fed her fathers kline,
She left us in the bloom of May:
The constant Years told o er
Their seasons with as sweet May morns,
But she came back no more.

REMEDIES FOR SOCIAL EVILS.

The Rev. T. b. Thaycr thus closes
his recent discourscs on the Causes
of the Growth of Crime in ITi~h
Places" After stating that every
man and every woman can do some
thing toward discouraging the vices
and diminishing the crimes which
darken SO many pages of our domcs-
tic, social and civil history, the preach
er proceeds
Let us make our religion more prac-
teal, and our morality more severe g:
and show by well ordered and rightc-
Gus lives the wisdom and blcsscdncss
of snhjccting the passions and appc.
titcS TO the conscious and moral sense.
Let us hold in check the fierce lust
OF gold, and be in no haste to acquire
a fortune, but show in all our transac-
tons that Il good name is to be pre-.
tcrrCd to great riches.
Let rs trown upon all extravaganza
upon all who live beyond their means;
and learn to call all things by Their
right names. IF man steals anoth
el's money, no matter what the meth
od OF doing it, gentecl or vulgar, call
him thicf-and treat him as a thief
whether in broadcloth or rags. Treat
all labor of the hands or the brain.
and all honest workers, with the res
pcct and attention they deserve. Show
that you mean it by educating your
sons and daughters to some kind of
employment, by instructing them in
the knowledge of some useful art. bv
which, in the day Of calamity and
want, they may get bread.
Finally, look well to the moral and
religious home'training of your child
rcn, especially the boys, who are most
exposed to the dangerous influences
ofthc street. Danish from your houses
all books and newspapers, whose ten
dency is at all questionable. BE gen
tie and loving, but wise, consistent
and steady in your family government
Make home cheerful, welcome and
desirable to the young members of
the family, more so than any possible
place outside Of it. Let them see
that religion in your hearts, and in
your homes, is not mere profession
and talk ; dead form only, but liv.
ing and controlling force-and that
the on y hope Of permanent happiness,
the only safety in temptation, the only
consolation in sorrow, and the only
triumph in death, is a perfect faith
and obedience toward God.
When these things shall be needed
in all the families Of the land, then
there will be such diminishing of the
criminal classes, and such an increase
of good men such a dcclcnsion OF
wickcdncss, and such q growth in
rightcousncss-that all hearts every.
where shall rejoice and glorify the
Lord.

THE HUMAN HEART,
BY FINLEY JOHNSON,

There Is no heart so Stccpcd in sin,
Within world like this.
But what can find some memories
To fill its depths with bliss,
To shed around the light of love
Throughout the deepest cell,
Ioiind within its chambers wide
\ place fOr love to dwell
As flowers scent the evening air
With sweet and fresh perfume;
As they expand before the sun,
And in their beauty bloom,
So in the heart, however rude,
The light of love shall CLEAN;
And hy its rays give peace to all
Beneath its sunny beams.
There is no heart however bowed
Ey sorrow : crushing weight,
But what has felt within its life
\ far more happy state;
And which has memories of the past
To love and call its own:
The joys of which they would not chang
To fill a monarch throne
There is no heart however stccpcd
Within the depths of sin.
But what has some secure retreat
For mcrcy's entrance in
Since joys do take the sting away
From sorrows gloomy hours
As the bright sun the dew does take
From OF the early flowers.
