Song for the Times

BY sQUlBOB JR.
The drops of rain came falling fast,
As through NJ lain street o1s day there passed
rustic youth, who strange to tell,
At every step was heard to yell
.Hurrah for Moakp'
His clothes were wet, yet all the while,
Upon his face there a smile;
And as he walked, it his choice,
To shout with his stentorian voice
''Hurrah for Moak!"
On, on he went, until at last
Off Main Third he'd almost passed
And when he saw THE cheap cash store,
This rustic youth did shout the more
''uurrah for Moak -
The eager crowd soon came around
And asked .'Why this terrific soundl''
Our youth replied-stDo you not see
The man who sold these goods to me ?''--
'sHurrah for Meak !'
''see here young man. said Marshal Hanes,
"Ifyou'd keep free from bodily pains,
Just quit your yelling in the street,
And don't be heard to again repeat,
''Hurrah for Moak!'
''This noise, said he s'I'll have you know,
Must stop, ar III take you down below ~
Yet the brave lad held not his tongue
But with the loudest accents sung
'sHurrah for Moak !"
The plueky youth, Marshal Hanes now seized
Which caused him to be dspleased:
And as he thrust him in the caboose
The boy said, ''Marshal it is no use'j-
''Hurrah for Moak ~
There in the lookup, for shame was he
An honest lad who should be free
But who, while on bench he lay
With cheerful voice was heard to saw
''Hurrah for Moak I''
When before Squire Miller he came
The Marshal was accused of blame
And then the boy did shout the more
For the man who keeps THE cheap cash store
s'Hurrah for Moak ~
A crowd had gathered round to see
Whether our lad would be set free:
And when twas known, then all did cry
That ''Moaks is surely the place to buy
''Hurrah for Moak ~
And now, dear reader, you ought to know
That for Dry Goods the place to go
L Moak 's-on Main street, thirty-twc,
You'll find stock, large, cheap, and new
''aurrah for Moaki''
The Machine having broken I am compelled to
top night here, and can only add that

Patriotism i'm Paris:

PARIS, May, IS6l,-Crossing ovet
from Brighton, where | had held Mis-.
sionary meetings, | passed the last Sab
bath in Paris, and preached in the Amer
lean chapel. A DAY or two previous, two
or three scores of americans were invited
to assemble at the rooms of Mr.. Sanford.

GUM, now here on his way to his new
post. Stirring patriotic speeches we're
made 81 Mr. Strong of New York, Who
was chairman, and BY DR. MeCllntock,;
and others, and Four Thousand Dollars
were subscribed on the spot to purchase
cannon for the American Government;
and it was not doubted that $4,000 more
would be added. by gentlemen in Paris
who we're not present and by the Ladies'.
1t was not the fruit of any angry ebulli-
ton, but of deep and fearful determiha-
ton to do ALI their power for their loved
native land, now SO f6fely wronged and
disgraced before the Christian world, by
infatuated rebels, for the support of
system which heathendom hardly equals.
The lowest subscription on this ocea-
sion was literally and emphatically at the
head Of the list, as was that of the widow
mite in the Gospel. It vas from Dr.Mac.
gowen, an excellent missionary physician
from China, who, with d fine patriotic
speech, modestly apologized for the small
ness of his contribution, by stating that.
he is away from his post on account of
i'll health, and not to be burdensome to
his society while absent from his work,
he is delivering lectures on Japan and
China. when able to do so. to obtain bread
for himself and his family and from his
little pittance his country must share. !.
The astonishing energy and devotion
of the free states, at last so thoroughly
reused, awaken the deepest joy and graf
itude of their sons and daughte S abroad,
and command the profound respect of
foreign nations. Let our suffering couu.
trymen keep in mind that they are now
reaping only the legitimate .Jruit Of stare
ry, bitter as it is, aud never provoke high
heaven BY guilty compromises with the
relentless monster IF they must still
wear the CALLING yoke of the hard bond

-'Come nearer, my son." answered the
mother, looking with pride and affection
on her child. Come nearer that may
bless you. God never forsakes the inno-
cent and the good. o, may He watch
over you in all your paths f! A physi-
clan has just been here. He was a
stranger, but he spoke to me with COM
passion and kindness that was balm to
my heart When he went away he left
that prescription on the table, see if you
can read it."
Henry glanced at the paper and started
bacK-he took it up, and as he read it
through again and again, cry of wonder
full astonishment escaped him.
"What is it, my son ?" exclaimed the
widow, trembling with an apprehension
of she knew not what.
"Ah, read, dear mother God has
heard us"
The mother took the paper from the
hands of her son, but no sooner had she
fixed her eyes upon it than, g My God y
she exclaimed, cit is Washington" and
fell back fainting upon her pillow.
The writing was an cbligation-for it
was indeed he-by which the widow was
to receive the sum of one hundred dollars
from his own private property, to be
doubled if necessary.
Meanwhile the expected physician
made his appearance, and soon awOke the
mother from her fainting fit. The joyfu
surprise, together with good nurse, with
which the physician provided her, and ;
plenty of wholesome food, soon restored
her to perfect health.
The influence of Washington, who Wis
tied them more then once, provided foI
the widow friends, who furnished hel
with constant employment, and her son'
when they arrived at the proper age, were
placed in respectable situations where
they were able to support and render thu
Iremaiuder of their mothers life comfort
able and happy.
Let the children who read this story
remember, when they think of the grea
aud good Washington, that he was not
above entering the dwelling Of poverty
and carrying Joy and gladness to th'
hearts of its inmates. This is no fict;
,ious tale, but only one Of thousand in
cidents which might be related of him
and which stamp him one of the bes
OF men.

UNEXPECTED FRHEND.

widow, wlping away the tears which
slowly trickled down her wasted checks
There is no other resource. | am too
sick to work, and you cannot, surely,
see INC and your little brother starve.
Try and beg a few shillings, and perhaps

Go, Henry, my dear, | grieye to send
yea on such an errand, but 1t must be
done"
The boy, noble looking little fellow
of about ten years, started up, and throw
ing his arms around his mothers neck,
left the house without a word. lie did
not hear the groan of anguish that was
uttered by his parent, as the door closed
behind him and it was well he did not,
for his little heart was ready to burst
without it 1t was in a by-street in Phil
adelphia, aud as he walked to and fro on
the sidewalk, he looked first at one per-
sou aud then at another. as they passed
him, but no one seemed to look kindly on
him, and the longer he waited, the faster
his courage dwindled away, aud the more
difficult it became to muster courage to
beg The tears were running fast down
bis cheeks, but nobody noticed them, or
if they did aobody seemed to care; for
although clean, Henry looked poor and
miserable, it is common for the poor and
miserable to cry. Everybody seemed in
a hurry, and the poor boy was quite in
despair, when at last he espied gentle
man who seemed to be very leisureiy

in black, wore three -corncred hat, and

Somehow, when Henry looked at him he
felt all fears vanish at once. His tears
had been flowing so long that his eyes
were quite red and swollen, and his voice
trembled-but that was with weakness,
for he had not eaten for twenty -four hours.
As Henry, with low, fatering voice,
begged for little charity, the gentleman
stopped, and his kind heart melted with
compassion as he looked into the fair
oountenance of the poor boy, and saw the
deep blush which spread over his face,

a REMEDY FOR SLEEPLEsSNEss. How
to get to sleep Is to many persons mat
ter of great Importance Nervous persons,
who are troubled with wakefulness aud
excitability, usually have tendency of
blood on the brain, with cold extrem-
tiles The pressure Of the blood on
the brain keeps it in stimulated or wake
full state, and the pulsations in the head
are often painful Let such rise and chafe
the body and extremities with brush or
towel, or rub smartly with the hands, to
promote circulation, and withdraw the
excessive amount of blood from the brain,
and they will fall asleep in few moments.
A cold bath, or sponge bath and rub
bing, or a good run, or going up or down
stairs few times just before retiring, will
aid in equalizing circulation aud promot-
ing sleep. These rules are simple, and
easy of application in castle or cabin,
mansion or cottage, and may minister to
the comfort Of thousands who would freely
expend money for an anodyne to promote
" Natures sweet rcstorer, balmy sleep"

AFTER THE BATTLE.
THE WORKING MAN.

The noblest men | know on earth,
Are men whose hands are brown with toi
Who, backed by no ancestral graves,
Hew down the woods and till the soil,
And win thereby prouder fame
Than follows king or warriors name.
The workngmen, whate'er their task,
To carve the stone, or bear the hod-
they wear upon their honest brows
The royal stamp and seal of God
And brighter are the drops Of sweat
Than diamonds in 4 coronet
God bless the noble working men
Who rear the cities of the plain,
Who dig the mines and build the ships
And drive the commerce of the main;
God bless them, for their swarthy hands
Have wrought the glory Of all lands.

THE MIME RIFLE-The first rifle IN
vogue in France was the so called pillar
rifle of Thorvenin, but the invention of
NJ. Mimic is the one which has practically
revolutionized the firearms of the present
day. The improvements made by NJ.
Mimic are confined almost wholly to the
form of the gun out Of which it is fred.
The ball is of an oblong conical form,
something like an acorn without its cup
bnt instead of being solid, this cone is
followed out at the base into cup fornl
The advantages Of this form of Drojectilo
are that it offers less resistance to the air
than a round ball would, and that having
its centre uf gravity in It's foremost part
it has no tendency to turn over in its
flight but its chief merit in a military
point of view, is that With it the rifle can
be loaded az easily as the ordinary smooth
bore gun, the forcing of the ball into the
grooves of the barrel being effected by the
ramrod. The form of the rifle proper to
these conical missiles differs very little
from those used with the old spherical
bullets, except that three grooved gun,
and it is still an unsettled question wheth
er four grooves would not be better than
three. With this weapon the soldiers
can make far better practice at five hun
dred, or even one thousand yards, than
he could with the old musket at one or
two hundred yards.

COMING, LOVE.
BY NARY H. c. BOOTH.

Z hear the rustic of the leaves,
| see a shadow glide
From the sweet stiffness Of the ewes
When we were side by side,
And all the world was wide,
And we were all the world-miue own,
Its JOY, and melody, and moan,
Until their crept an undertone,
And swelled to this deep dirge-ALoNE.
Thy shadow, love, is coming
Across the weary years;
Ny heart is family humming
A song tiny name endears
1t almost breaks to listen
feel thy tread SO still,
And all the dew-drops glisten.
And all the roses thrill;
And all the blessed angels
Are smiling from above,
And singing sweet eyangels,
For thou art coming, love.

The world has acquired curious nc
tions concerning the comparative obliga-
tior of men and women to be constantly
busy. It is thought mark of idleness
in woman to sit whole evening, unless

ment and if she go abroad to spend an
afternoon, she must carry her knitting or
sewing, but her husband or brother may
accompany her without any work to oc~
