ven?"
"Heaven! no, darling, it is earth but
God sent you here to our hearts, and you
shall be loved and cared for. See, here is
a little sister, and you win be'very happy
with her. Kiss him, Nelly"
Her rosy lips touched his pale ones, and
a heavenly smile lighted up in his face
The past was not forgotten, but it was
gone. No more mouldy crusts, oaths,
harsh words and blows. No more beg
ging at basement doors, and looking half
famished to envy dog gnawing bone in
the streets. No fear of rude children
who never knew where their own hearts
lay, no more sleeping on doorsteps, and
listening in terror to the drunken quar-
rels of the vicious and depraved.
Yes, the past was gone, and in the rosy
future were love, home, even God and the
angels. Certainly, sweet spirits had
guarded that child, and guided him out of
securing evil into positive good. Surely,
henceforth he would put his hand trustfully
in theirs, and turn his face Heavcnward.
Yes, it was SO to be. The dear, teachable
child-a jewel picked from the mire, a
brand snatched from the burning-was
yet to illumine the dark paths Of this
world with his holy, Heaven.like teach
ing. Like dove he was to go forth over
the waters, and find the olive branch
with which to garland his glad tidings.-
Blessing, then on all who hold their arms
out towards needy little children, making
their homes arks of refuge. Beautiful
stars shall they have in their crowns of re-
joicing, for surely there is no jewel brighter
in all the world, and perhaps in all eterni-
ty, than the soul of little child.

"Well," said the clerk, 1--WE take all

''But these are good Ones" said the
countryman, "red waters got head onto

The clerk suddenly got an idea as to
the state of the case, asked to look at the
new currency, found them to be good
three cent stamps, and decided that he
did stake waters in pay.'

home. The hour of evening has come,
the lamps are lighted and the good man
in middle life-though very old he seems
to me-takes down the Bible and reads a
chapter from its hallowed pages. A
sweet woman sits at his side, with my
sleepy head upon her knees, and brothers
and sisters are grouped reyerently around
me. l do not understand the words, but
| have been told they are the words of
God, and | believe it. The chapter ends
and we all kneel down, and the good man
prays. ! fall asleep with my head in the
chair, and the next morning / remember
nothing Of how I went to bed. After
breakfast the Bible is taken down, and
the good man prays again, and again is
the worship repeated through all the days
of many golden years. The pleasant
converse of the freside, the simple song
Of home, the words of encouragement as
I bend over my school task, the kiss as I
lay down to rest, the patient bearing with
the freaks of my restless nature, the gem
tie counsels mingled with reproofs and
approval, the sympathy that meets and
assuages every sorrow and sweetens ev-
cry little success-all these return to me
amidst the responsibilities which press
upon me now, and | feel as if had once
lived in Heaven, and straying had lost
my way.
Well, the good man grew old and wea-
ry, and fell asleep at last with blessings
on his lips for me. Some of those who
called him father lie side by side in the
same calm sleep. The others are scatter
ed and dwell in new homes, and the old
house and orchard have passed into the
hands of strangers, who have learned, or
are learning to look upon them as l do
now. Lost, ruined, forever left behind,
that home is mine to-day as truly as it
ever was, for have I not brought it away
with me and shown it to you? 1t was
the home of my boyhood. In it I found
my first mental food, and by it was my
young soul fashioned. To me, through
weary years and many sorrows, it has
been perennial fountain of delight and
purifying influences, simply because it
was my home, and was and is part of me.
The rose at the gate blooms for me now.

FLOW ER s.

Flowers-decked with beauty bright,
Sparkling in the morning light;
Flowers-scenting the noon-tide air
With their fragrance, rich and rare;
Flowers-closing at set of sun
When mans daily task is done
Tell me- can ye-why thou art
So beloved by every heart?
Flowers-sweet fowers-fresh and rare
In yon maiden's auburn hair,
Tinging her cheek with thy rosy hue,
Darkling her eye with thy lovely blue
Tell me, dear flowers, must that loved one fade,
In the church-yard cold her form be laid2
Why must she perish-so young and gay
Can ye answer me this-say, flowerets-say2
Flowers-gay fowers-to deck the bride
In her queenlike beauty by her lovers side
A noble twain-alike they stand
United forever in heart and hand,
Around her form we will twine the wreath,
While filled with love, beats the heart beneath,
AS the tender ivy to the stout oak clings,
So true is the love that woman brings.
Flowersi-dear fowers-to cover the dead
AS we gather around their dying bed,
They solve life's mystery, they tell us why
The brightest of earth are the first to die.
They point to the flowers as they scent The air,
And tell us that our lives are written there.

Thepurest of earth must pass away.

Curiosities Of the Earth.

At the city of Medina, in Italy, and
about four miles around it, wherever the
earth is dug, when the workmen arrive at
the distance of sixty-three feet, they come
to bed Of chalk which they bore with an
auger, five feet deep. They then with
draw from the pit before the auger is re-
moved, and upon its extrication, the water
bursts up through the aperture with
great violence, and quickly fills the new
ly-made well, which continues full, and
is affected neither by rains nor droughts.
But what is most remarkable in this oper-
alton is the layers Of earth as we descend
At the depth of fourteen feet, are found
the ruins of an ancient city, paved streets,
houses, floors and different pieces Of ma
sonic work. Under this is found soft
oozy earth, made up Of vegetables, and
at twenty-six feet, large trees entire, such
as walnut trees, with the walnuts still
sticking to the stem, and the leaves and
branches in perfect state of preservation.
At twenty-eight feet deep soft chalk is
found, mixed with vast quantity of
shells, and the bed is eleven feet thick
Under this vegetables are found again.

D9- DR.. Thomas W. Evans, the cele-
brated American dentist in Paris, who is
dentist to all the crowned heads of Eu-
rope, has made lucky strike with the
Viceroy of Egypt, who is now in England.
He will SO to Alexandria next year to
perform some professional service for the
Viceroy's favorite wife. DR.. Evans visited
his royal highness on his yacht at Wool
wich, and describes him as magnificent
ly wealthy and liberal and amiable prince.
Among his table service are plates worth
SO, 900 each; gold pitcher, set with dia-
monds, worth a. least 100000; and the
Viceroys toothbrush alone, set richly
with precious stones, is worth at least
$4,000, and the stand upon which it
rests half that sum.

A PICTURE OF HOME,

recall home long since left behind
in the journey Of life, and its memory
floats back over me with shower of emo
tions and thoughts towards whose precious
fall my heart opens itself greedily, like a
thirsty flower. 1t is home among the
mountains - humble and homely, but
priceless in its associations. The water
fall again sings ia my ears, as it used to
through those dreamy, mysterious nights.
The rose at the gate, the patch of tansy
under the window, the neighboring Or
chard, the old elm, the grand machinery
Of storms and showers, the little smithy
under the hill that famed with strange
light through the dull winter evenings,
the wood pile at the door, the ghostly
white birches on the hill, and the dim
blue haze on the retiring mountains all
these come back to me with an appeal
that touches my heart and moistens my
eyes. | sit again in the doorway of a
summer nightfall, eating my bread and
milk, looking off upon the darkening
landscape, and listening to the shouts Of
boys on the hillside calling or driving
home the reluctant herds. | watch again
the devious ways Of the dusky night-hawk
along the twilight sky, land listen to his
measured note, and the breezy boom that
accompanies his headlong plunge towards
the earth.
Even the old barn, crazy in every tim
ber and gaping at every joint, has charms
for me. | try again the breathless leap
from the great beams in the haymow. Isit
again on the Threshold of the widely open
doors rs-open to the soft south wind Of
spring-and watch the cattle, whose faces
look half human to me, as they sun them
selves, and peacefully ruminate, while
drop by drop the melting snow on the
roof drills holes through the wasting
drifts beneath the caves. The first little
lambs Of the season tottle by the side of
their dams, and utter their feeble bleat-
ings, while the flock nibble at the hay
rack, or pair of rival wethers try the
strength Of their skulls in an encounter,
half in earnest and half in play. The
proud old roosters crow upon the dung
hill throne, and some delighted member
of his. silly family leaves her nest, and
tells to her males and to me that there is
one more egg in the world. The old
horse whinnies in his stall and calls to me
for food. ! look up to the roof and think

CONCLUSIVE EvIDENoE.-Some years
ago, and soon after the 'Santi license law
came into force in the Green Mountain
State, traveller stopped at hotel and
asked for glaas of brandy. sDon't
keep it," said the landlord forbidden
by the law to sell liquor of any kind"
"The deuce you are" retorted the stran-
ger, incredulously. "Such is the fact"
replied the host, ''the house don't keep
it." "Then bring your own bottle,o ? said
the traveller, with decision; 'you needn't
pretend to me that you keep that face
Of yours in repair with water" The host
laughed heartily and brought his private
bottle.

MistMlanfous,
AN ANGEL.

A little pauper boy sat down on the
curbstone and tried to think. His feet
were bare, red and cold; but never mind
that. The chill air penetrated his ragged
garments; but never mind that. He
wanted to think. Who are those people
passing him, looking SO warm and COM
Portable? !? What did it mean that they
should be happy and cheerful, and he SO
sad? None of them had such heavy
hearts; that he was sure of. He looked
up into the cold blue sky. What was it,
and who lived up there? Somebody said
once that God would take care of him.
Where was God. Why didn't He take
care of him? o. be could only see God
for one little minute, or the angel that
the good man told him of when his moth
or died Did folks ever see God I? Did
they ever see angels I?
An organ-grinder came near and took
his stand. The melody he played light
ened the little boys heart somewhat; but
it didn't warm him, it didn't make him
less hungry. He kept shivering in spite
of music and he felt SO all alone, SO de-
spairing. Then the organ grinder passed
away; he never needed the little child
sitting on the curbstone he had so many
things to think of. The carriages passed
by, and the carts, and company Of. SOL
diers but it was all dumb show to him
he was trying to think, with such dull
pain at his heart. Presently three or four
coarse-looking boys gathered behind him,
and winked and laughed at each other
In another moment tho youngest gave q
thrust, and over went the poor little home-
less child into the gutter. One scream,
one sob ofanguish, as be gathered himself
up and looked after the boys, now flying
away with shouts of mirth. O how cruel
it seemed in them how cruel The lit
tie hungry boy walked slowly on, sobbing
and shivering to himself. He didn't
know what he was walking for, or why he
was living. He felt out Of place--a poor
little forlorn spirit that had lost its way
"a bruised reed thatany one might break
