Scenes I'm Our Hospitals.

Several charitable ladies visited on of
the military hospitals in Philadelphia
Every refreshment that could be furnished
they supplied. Ice cream was handed
round, and the poor individuals eagerly
partook of it. 10 one corner of the room,
however, the spoon and saucer had not been
touched. On the bed, by little table con
tanning them, lay young boy, his features
pale, his eyelids dropping. A lady gently
tanning his fair forehead, softly whispered
"the poor little fellow is asleep, we must
not disturb him.
''No ma'sm, am not asleep, he answer
ed. 1t was silvery voice, full of sweet-
ness and innocence of boyhood.
well, my little fellow" continued the
lady, as she drew near, ARE you not fond
of ice cream?"
Very much So" he replied.
"Didn't you see me place this on your
little table ?" reaching for the plate Of ice
cream.
"Oh, yes" he answered, TREMENDOUSLY.
"but l shut my eyes and cried to myself"
Cried, my child why, what made you
cry. my dear?"
'Oh, madame il you will pull the quilt
down a little. you will see"
The lady did so, and fourd that he had
no arms Both of them be haG lost in bat

Poor little fellow the sympathy of Ell
lence and tears was all that could be be-
slowed on his wounded spirit. The re-
uembranee of sister and brother, of father
aud mother, of childish frolics and play
mate lovers of yorer was awakened to
soo,he the fancy OF the little sufferer, and
to wreathe his young brow with the still
tenderer beauty of resignation to the will
of God.

A Yankees Trick.

Just before the Declaration of Independ-
ence, Yankee pedlar down to New York
to sell lot of bowls and dishes be had
made of maple. Jonathan travelled over
the city, asking everybody to buy his
wares, but no one was disposed to pur-
chase.
1t happened that British fleet was then
lying in the harbor of New York, and
Jonathan struck upon a plan of selling his
dishes. He got naval uniform, by hook
or by crook flor history does not tell where
he got it). and strutting up town, one
morning, asked q merchant if he had any
nice wooden ware, as the commodore want
ed lot for the feet
The merchant replied that he had none
on hand, bus there was some in town, and
It he would send in the afternoon be would
supply him.
Very Good" said our naval officer al
will call"
Jonathan now cut for home, by the
shortest route, and he had scarcely dotted
his borrowed plumage before down came
the merchant, who, seeing that Jonathan
had sold none of his wares, offered to take
the whole if he would deduct fifteen per
cent (; but Jonathan said he be gol darned
if he didn't take 'em home, before he'd take
q cent less than his first price.
The merchant finally paid him down in
gold his price for the wooden ware, which
laid on his shelves for many a long day
thereafter; and Jonathan trotted home in
high glee at the success of his vancouver,
while the merchant cursed British officers
ever after.

HARVEST HYMN.

At carmefs mount the prophet laid
His Offering on the altar-s.une,
And fire decen ded from the skies,
And round III holy altar shone;
And thus, when Spring went smiling mast.
Our offerings on the earth were cast.
And Gods own blessing has come iown.
Our sacrifice of faith to crown.
No eonquercr Ger our fields has gone,
To blast with war our summer bowers
Aud stain with blood of woe and guilt
The soil that giveth life to flowers;
But morning dews and evening rains
Have fallen on cur beauteous plains.
And Earth, through all her realms abroad.
Gives back the image of her Godl
Bright with the Autunn's richest tints
- Each hill lifts up its head on high,
And spreads its fruits and blossoms out,
And Offering meet beneath the sky;
And hill, and plain, and vale, and grove,
Join in the sacrifice of love;
And wind, and stream, and lake, and sea,
Lit high their hymns of ecstacy.
1t is the festival Of earth
The fame Of love DER Nature burns,
And to the holy heavens goes up,
Like incense from thousand urns.
And oh, let mans inpassiored voice
With Natures self IN song rejoice,
Until the blended notes Of love
Ring from the temple-arch above!
