A Baby at Our House.

The Boston Post is the author Of go,d
s ory of bachelor rr end -
Our friend was riding day or two age
through Athol, in this State, when he over
took little girl and boy apparently on theil
way to school The little girl appeared to be
five or six years old, and was as beautiful as
a fairy. Her eyes were lit up with CLEAN
of intense happiness, and her checks glowed
with the hucs of health. Our bachelor looked
at her for moment admiringly. She met
his glarce with smile, aud with an eager
voice saluted him with,
"Ilave you got baby?"
lie was s,ru k abark by the question, ard
something like regret st' lie over his mind As
he looked upon the animated and beautiful
little face before him. "No," he answered.
"Wcll, she replied, drawing her tiny form
proudly up, "we have" and passed on, still
smiling to tell the joyous news to the next
one she might meet. What a world of hap
illness TO her was concentrated in that one
idca--the baby And in her joy she felt as
if all must have the same delight as herself;
aud it was n matter of atfeetinnatc pride To
her that lifted her little heart above the reach
of ordinary envy, for in the baby was her
world, and what else had she to crave? Su h
was the reflection Of our friend, and he re-
membcred it long enough to tel it recently
in State street.

Employment.

1t is dangerous for man Of superior
ability to find himself thrown upon the
world without some regular employment.
The restleSsness inherent in genius, being
left thus undirected by any permanent influ-
ence, frames to itself occupations out of acci-
dents. Moral integrity sometimes falls prey
to the want of fixed pursuit, I'd the man
who receives his direction in active life from
the fortuitous impulse Of circumstance, will
be very apt to receive his principles likewise
from chance.
Genius, under such guidance, attans no
noble ends, but resembles rather a copous
spring conveyed in fallen aquednct, where
the waters continually escape through the
frequent creviccs, and waste themselves inef-
fectually on their passage. The law of nature
is here. as elsewhere, binding, and no power
ful results ever ensue from the trivial exercise
Of high endowments.
The finest mind, when thus destitute of n
fixed purpose, passes away without leaving
permanent traces of its existence-lusing its
energy, by turning aside from its course, it
becomes as harmless and inefficient as the
lightning, which, of itself irresistible, may
yet be rendered powerless by slight con-
ductor.

The Cure Of Cancer.

Mr.. Anderson, of Dulic-strect, London,
sends the following recipe Simple as it il,
he speaks confidently os its effectiveness in
the cure of cancer:--
Boil fine Turkey figs in new milk, which
they will thcken when they are tender,
split and apply them as warm as they can
be borne to the part affected, whether brok en-
or not; the part must he washed every time
the poullice is changed, with some of the
milk use fresh poultice night and morn
ing and at least once during the day and
drink aquarter of pint Of the milk the figs
are boiled in twice in twenty-four hours. Ii
the stomach will bear it, this must he steadily
persevercd in for three or four months at
least. A man aged l05 years was cured,
about six years before his death, with only
six pounds OF figs. The cancer which begun
at the corner Of his mouth, had eaten through
his jaw, check, and halt way down his
throat; yet he was ST. perfectly cured MS never
to show any ,cndeucy to return. Should it
ever do so, the figs should be again applied.
The first application gives a great deal Of
pain. but afterwards each dressing gives ease
A woman cured by this remedy had been
afili ted 10 years; her breasts bed exccs-
sively ten pounds cured her.

A Touching Scene.

A corr spondcnt of the Elmira Republican
says, that in recent trip over the New York
and Erie road, an incident occurred that
touched every bcholder's heart with pity. a
paratively young lady, dressed in deep
mourning--hcr husband having recently
died--was travelling southwark, having in
her care and keeping young daughter Of
some six years. The little girl was mild eyed
as an autumnal sky. and as delicate as the
hyacinth; her cmaciatcd fingers as delicate
and transparent as the pearls of Ceylon.
Touchinglv beautiful was the affection of her
heart for the mother, whose solictudc for the
daughters comfort was increasingly mani
tested. Looking ever and anon from the car
window she turned to her mother, saying,
"Mother, | am weary. when shall VIC get

sIumber, and awaking suddenly radiant

Love In Humble Life.

| In East Boston, few weeks since wa:
borne to the grave, maiden wife Of less than
twenty yeans Of age. Her husband and
lover, a young man Of twenty three, vas 4
mechanic. They had loved each other from
childhood, and were to hnve been married
some six or seven months since, when she was
prostratcd by consumption. Nearly all his
leisure from labor was passed at her bedside,
cheering her with prospects of restored health
and life of happiness; but the fell disease
was too firmly implanted in her system to
leave any hope Of recovery. When the ply
sician said that her death was inevitable, she
expressed desire to partake Of the sacra-
ment Of the Lords Supper, and her wish was
gratficd. Her lover procured carriage, sat
by her side, and bore her in his arms to and
from the Lords table. She returned to her
bed never again to leave it in life. About
fortnight before her death, she said that she
had only one earthly wish ungrati6ed; she
desired to be united to him who had loved
her so long and so truly, in the hope of being
lis in heaven. lie could deny her nothing
he married death Bolstered up by pillows,
aud supported in the embrace of her mother,
she was united to her lover. her feeble voice
was hardly audible in responding to the ques-
tions of the marriage ceremony. She was
his, and she could die without regret From
then until she passed away. she was unable
to speak above a whisper; but she appeared
happy. and though wasted to skin and bone
a pleasant smile left its impress un her face,
as hel soul returned to God who gave it.
Many cases have been recorded of people
being married on the brink of the grave, to
accomplish some material cnd--such as to
sivea legal title to property or to render an
act of delayed Justice but rare or never have
we heard of poor people marrying under
such circumstances, purely for love. The
stern realities of lite press SO hardly upon the
laboling poor, that the finer feelings Of their
souls have to make way for the cares and toll
Of providing for the wants of the body. The
only legacy which this afiectionate maiden
left her husband was lock of her hair, and
favorite copy of the Bible.
