letter dated Washington, September 30,
1859:
About midday to-day | started for the
Capitol, feeling unusually buoyant and
spirited, expecting a reunion Of my whole
family this evening. In passing down
Fifteenth street, opposite the Treasury
Department, met the venerable Chief
Justice Roger b. fancy, who has been
absent for some months in Virginia. lie
greeted me most cordially, cnquircd after
my health and that Of my family, and
begged me to come and see him before
the time for holding his Delaware circuit.
He was thinner, and stopped more than
usual, but his countenance boamed With
cheerful and happy smile, which could
only proceed from the heart, and that
heart ono Of peace with the world and
with the author Of all He had walked
with a feeble but regular firm stop CIR
more than mile, and was near ST. Nat

THE OLD FARMER.

The twilight of lifes autumn time,
How sweet its holy spell
To those who rest from earthly toll
And know they've labored well.
Such joy as thine, those hands have taught
The wilderness to smile,
Thy patient years Of toll have won
A garden from the wild.
Thy cheek, that harvest suns have tann'd d.,
Still wears healthful glow;
And loves sweet fountain in thy heart
Still glides with peaceful aow.
The years that upon other brows
Have set the seal Of care,
But lightly passed DER thine and left
A crown Of glory there.
The hoary head is beautiful
When found in wisdom's ways,
With honor shc>has crowned thy brow,
Blessed thee with length Of days.
On sunny hillsides stronger hands
The ripened shcaves shall bind
And younger voices raise the song,
At merry autumn time.
Thou'll wait amid the mellow light,
Till angel rcapers come
To bid thee join triumphantly,
A sweeter !" Harvest Home.n

MY Withered bouquet.

Beautiful in death one long, linger-
ing look ] gave to my withered bouquet,
once SO blooming and bright. Flowers
yet fragrant, though times relentless
touch had scared their petals. How they
bring to mind friends of other days,
BERTHE, Ella, and Lucy, whose pictures
are as bright in memory's gallery as the
day when first Natures true Inner por-
trayed each feature-they have gone
from my gaze now. BERTHE was my rose !;
her sweet but fragile form dropped, ere
yet sixteen summers had shed their bloom;
how oft her dear hand was clasped in
mine, and when | twined a wreath of
white rosebuds 20 place upon her coffin,
| felt that earth had lost one of its rarest
flowers. Ella was my cedar; her friend
ship and constancy endeared her to me
No new friend could turn her thoughts
from me; often in a playful mood she
would say, "Old friends, like old swords,
arc trusted best"
We parted to meet no more on earth
her fondness for travelling led her to make
long tour; an epidemic laid its scourg-
ing hand upon her-and lol Ella was
no more. Lucy was my sensitive-p plant I;
a tear fills my eye when thoughts Of her
come over me; her gentle, coniiding
heart was given to one who loved money
who was totally unfit to have the care Of
sweet Lucy. She dreamt not that it was
hsr fortune he sought, and after he had
squandered all, would treat her unkindly.
Alasl that matches should be so i'll
assorted, or the rose bear q thorn-but
Lucy was transplanted soon she could
not Withstand the cold, chilling winds of
Indifference. Thank Heaven, Lucy is
happy now Her little tomb in the
church-yard is never passed by any who
kDaw sweet Lucy without weeping the
true tear--the memory of the good and
pare is ever sacred < 4 =
Wy bouquet teaches me how mutable are
ell things beauty so witching to gaze
upon, vanishes away like my flowers
withered before me now. 1t points me
10 the alter of the Most High, where my
heart should bow in grateful alteration !;
it tells me Of the bonovolence Of the
great Architect of the world, who made
weet flowers to please our sight, and
teach lesson Flowers beautiful even
IN death; turn away from them, and
thoughts fit before me Of the time when
ye were so fresh and smiling, when the
ievy gems rested upon your bosom, or a
moonbeam fingered near 10 court your
smil,s. # \ Oh, what
would Garth be without the sweet, sweet
flowers what could be the bearer OF
of loves message? Surely thou dost
''unite upon the hills and dales mysteri-
Gus truths. - Leisure Moments.

The eastern proyerb, which declares
that there arc no ungrateful children, is
nearer the truth than it appears. 1t is
but another version of the Biblical max
i'm Train up child in the way he
should go, and when he is old he win not
depart from it. The parent who does
really train up child in the way he
should 60 is the parent who truly deserves
the gratitude Of bis child, and be is tie
only parent who can hope to receive it in
full measure. How many parents there
are who, after INDUCING their childr MS
every desire, are sincerely astonisht to
find them making no return of love and
gratitude. Gratitude For what should
they be grateful? For an impaired d.
gestion? For a will uncurbed? For an
appetite unregulated ? For heart cold
For mind empty? For hands unskill-
full? For childhood wasted2 For
chance Of forming noble character lost
These are poor claims upon the gratitude
Of child. Bring up your child SO that,
at mature age, he has sound constitu-
ton, healthy desires, an honest heart, q
well-infcrmcd mind, good manners and a
useful calling, and you may rely upon
his making you such a rich return Of
grateful affection as shall thousand
times repay you for the toll and self-de-
NAL which such training costs. No
there are no urgrateful children It is
hard saying. But is it not true?
