THE ORPHAN GIRL.

James Carter was poor, yea, very poor
Left an orphan al an early age he was cast
upon his own resources, Tor friends were
few, and day after day he would set forth
with his pack upon his shoulders 10 dispose
of his goods. To passsr by, The face of
James would have been merely glanced at,
without thought whether it was handsome
or not, shut 10 close observer of human
nature, it would have seemed marked with
the traces of beauty. His dress was not in
The fashion of the day, for poverty had
bounds which he could not pass, but his
garments were nevertheless in a state of
neainess. To those who knew James II
was a matter of surprise, how, under his
weight nf misfortune his heart was SO light.
His voice could be heard al night singing
some scraps of old songs though his 10;
was humble, smile was ever on his lips.
His life was indeed lonely; there were no
voices OF affection to greet him in tones OF
tondness, when at Eight he arrived home
weary and faint he had no bosom 10 which
to confide his sorrows but there amidst
the loneliness of his humble hut, his years
were passing in dreariness and sorrow. 1t
is easy sor those who dwell in large houses,
and who are surrounded with every comfort
70 be happy and gay; bat TO maintain
light heart amid the gloom and darkness of
poverty is heroism, let Tie world say what
it will.
Ii vas lovely day in summer, as James
took his pack and wended his was through
the Streets Of the city. 1t had been TO him
an unfortanate day, for at every door he
stopped he was met with cold reception,
and the cry of "wsnt nothing TO day"
With feelings of disappointment he turn
ed his weary steps homeward, mediiatipg
on his way Of The cold charities Of this
world On passing through miserable all
ley, ii1e abode of the vicious and the unfor-
tunaie, his ears were saluted with the cries
of poverty, and the blasphemous epithets
of crirse. There was one hltIe girl who
struck his attention BY her lender years and

RATHER ExPREssIvE.-Thate eccentric Dow,
Jr., in one of his discourses in which he
describes the contrast between semblance
and reality, thus hits off ball scene:
ga woman may not be an angel though
she glides through ihe mazes of the dance
like spirit clothed with a rainbow aud
studded with stars. The young man may
behold his admired object on the morrow in
the true light of reality, emptying wash
tub in the gutter, with frock pinned up be-
hind-her cheeks pale for the want Of paint
her hair mussed and fuzzy, Except what
lies in the bureau, land her whole contour
wearing the appearance of an angel jam
med through brush fence into world OF
wretchedness and woe."

SAINT JONATHAN.
By JOHN c. SAKE.


There's many an excellent Saint
St. George, with his dragon and lance
St. Paterick, so Jolly and quaint;
St. Vitus the saint OF the dance
ST Dennis, the saint OF the Gaul
ST. Andrew, The saint of the Scot
But Jonathan, the youngest OF all,
Is the mightiest saint OF the lot
He wears a most serious face,
Well worthy martyrs possessing
But it isn't all owing 10 grace.
But partly 10 thinking and guessing;
In soolk, out American saint
Has rather a secular bias,
And never have heard complaint
or his being excessively p:ous
He's fond OF financial improvement,
Aud is always extremely inclined
To be starring some practical movement
For mendiug the morals and mind,
Do You ask me what wonderful labors
ST. jonathan ever has done,
To rank with his Calender neighbors
Just lisien, moment, 10 one:
One day when fash in the air
Split his Westinghouse ialriy asunder,
.Quoth Jonathan, Now declare
They're dreadfuly careless with thunder J
So he fastened rod 10 the steeple,
And now when the lightning comesround,
He keeps it from building and people,
BY running it into the ground
ReAectiBg, wilh pleasant emotion,
On the capital job he had dome
Qucth Jonathan, al have notion
improvements have barely begun
If noihing's created in vain,-
As ministers often inform U.S.
The lightning that's wasted, It's plain,
Is really something enormous ga
While cyphering over the thing,
AT length he discovered plan
To catch the Electoral King,
And make him the servant of man
And now, in an orderly way,
He flies on the fleetest OF pinions,
And carries the news of the day
All over his masters dominloEs
One morning, while taking stroll,
He heard lugubrious cry
Like the shrek of suffering soul,-
In Hospita, standing near by ;
Anon, such a terrible groan
Saluted ST. Jonathan's ear,
That his bosom-which wasn't of stone,-
q Was melted with pity 10 hear.
That night he invented charm
So potent that folks who employed it,
In losing leg or an arm,
Don't suFer,-but rather enjoy 1t
A miracle, you must allow,
As good as the best of his broihers'-
And blessed ST Jonathan now
Is pairoc of cripples and mothers
Thess's many an excellent Saint
s. George, with his dragon and lance
ST. Paterick, so jolly and quaint;
StVitus, the saint of the dance;
ST. Dennis, the saint of the Gaul:
81. Andrew, the saint of the Scot;
But Jonathan, youngest of all,
Is the mighiiest saint Of the lot

ADVENTURE OF AN ARTTsT.-The Sierra
(Cal.) Citizen says that Taylor, an artist,
went ont to sketch the magnificent scenery
and while in The mountains the battle broke
his poeticaI and artistic fancies. Hasten
ing down, he was confronted by a body of
retreating Indians, and having tufrt' an-
other way, he was seen and shot al by the
whites; turning another course, he was
pePpered by the regulars, who took him
for redskin The deuce Of it was 10 get
to camp, each party firing at him on sight.
Reaching high bank, he was again shot
at by Indians, and leaning down he DIS
lodged big stone, which rolled after him,
until, the rock having blocked up hallow
place, Taylor crawled under and stayed
till midnight, when he reached camp, alter
running the further risk of being shot BY
the sehtries.

The patriot John Adams, II is said, was
designed for a shoemaker, like his father -
One day Deacon Adams, his parent. gave
him some uppers to cut our by pattern
that had thIee-cornered hole In 1t, by
which il had hung upon nail, and it was
found ,ha, he had followed the pattern ex-
acty, triangular hole and all. The Deacon,
upon seeing this, declared that John wasn't
fit TO be a shoemaker, and so he concluded
to make lawyer of him.

A FUNNY INCIDENT-Not long since one
of our most popular ministers was informed
while in his study, that party was in the
paror waiting TO engage his services.
The reverend gentleman laid down his
hen, while visions of fee foated before
his eyes, as he donned his black coat and
thought few good words of advice that he
would give the couple, anxious TO be made
one.
Upon entering the parlor, he encountered
an old lady, and a young lady, and her beau.
The old lady spoke as follows:
81 wish you 10 marry my daughter and
her ieller," displaying much more agitation
and excitement than the parties most inter-
ested.
"Certainly-I am happy 10 see you. Al
low me TO look at your certificate"
The young couple complied with the
request.
The reverend gentleman glanced over
the document, and look of disappointment
appeared upon his face.
"Hallo !' the would be bridegroom ex-
claimed "Nothing burst, hope?"
81 am sorry TO inform you that your GER
tifcate is informal. and consequently can't
marry you until another is obtained"
"But, Mister" cried The lady, can't you
half marry um for tonight, and tomorrow
we'll get new certi6kit and make it all
right. 1t will be dreadful disappointment

Fading Out,

The total extinction of the aboriginal races
of this continent, is only question Of time
Their decay seems as much matter Of des-
tiny, as the growth and spread of the white
race. The red line of savageism refusing to
blend with paler colors 10 tie web Of human
progress is fading out as rapidly as the forest
leaves fade in the breath of Autumn. Proud,
stoica), and filed with he bitterness Of sorrow
and hate, The Indian, spurning the allurements
and discipline OF civilization, retreats to the
wilderness, his tribes melting away to return
no more forever. The forest recedes not SO
rapidly, nor the buffalo, nor the salmon.
Vi all the dusky bordos who fitted to and
fro in the chase and on the war path, when
the Pilgrims landed on tho rock bound
coast scarcely trace or shadow is lett
Lines of kings as old in lineage and equal
in dignity and worth to Bourbon, Planta-
genet or Hapsburgh, where now are their
thrones, their people, their empires? Van
ished like morning mist like the swift fig
ures of vision of The night. Wampanoag
and Pequot, Penobscott and Narragansett,
and many generously named tribe, hereafter
namcless in living annals, have all gone be-
yond the land Of the setting sun. And to
the last, gone with their wild independence
uncurbed, as free as the race that su cceeds
them. No memorials even remain-neithor
temple, nor column, nor tomb--nohing save
here and there some Wipnipissiogec or HJr-
icon, or Hu on or Ontario, beautiful water s.
or some kypercing mountain peak, refusing

Never before in the history Of mankind
persisted people so rapidly, so sien ly, 10

which much that is Hottest in human charac-

by an irresistible law, potent as gtavitation,

Never Jest with Sacred Things.

Not long since | heard Christian gentle
man, while urging the improperly Of young
mems entering even the UeStibWIe of Church
with lighted cigars, made use of this Ian
guage: "These are sort of burning and
shining lights that never wish to see in tho
courts OF Gods house.
Shortly afterwards heard minister in
a sermon on tho power of Christian influence,
announce as his text the words of our boss.
ed Savior concerning John the Baptist, " He
was burning and a shining light;" and
though the sermon was unusually solemn and
oppressive, moving me frequently during its
delivery oven to tears, yet as from time to
time, the minister would repeat the words of
the text, the ludcrous application I had so
recently heard made of it would force itself
upon my mind, making it difficult, often ut
terly impossible for me to bind myself down
to the solemn sense in which the text was
used by Him who "spake as never man
spake;" and by the effort required to do SO,
much OF the beauty and harmony of the dis
course was lost.
Such is doubtless often the effect of coup.
ling some thoughtless jest with words of
Scripture, and the result can be only evil
This practice is criminal triAing with things
sacred, and by implication at least, a daring
impiety towards the divine Being himself

The Greatest Summary.

The Preside is a summary of infinite i'm
portance. 1t is important because it is uni.
versal, and because the education it bestows
being woven in with the wool of childhood
gives form and color to the whole texture OF
life. There are few who can receive the hon.
ors Of college, but all are gratitudes of the
hearth. The learning Of the university may
fade from recollection its classic lore may
moulder in the halls Of memory. But the
simple lessons of home, enameed upon the
heart of childhood, defy the rust of years and
outlive the more mature but less vivid pic
lures Of after days.
SO Deep SO lasting, indeed, are the imnles.
sions of life, that you often see a man it the
imbeciity of age holding fresh in his recolec-
ton the events Of childhood, while all the
wide space between that and the present hour
is blasted and forgotten waste. You have
perchance seen and old and half obliterated
portrait, and in the attempt have seen it fade
away, while brighter and more perfect pic.
ture, painted beneath, is revealed to view.
This portrait, first drawn upon the canvas,
is no inapt illustration of youth and though
it may be concealed by some after design, still
the orig nal traits will shine through the out.
ward picture, giving it tone while fresh, and
surviving it in decay.
Such is the Gresido-the great institution
furnished by Providence for the education of
man.
