George soon discovered what had caused
my swoon, and while he was restoring me
to consciousness, the man who was with
him examined the writing desk to see if
any papers could be found which would
throw any light on the subject. He found
a letter without any address, in which the
diseased statedhis intentions of committing
suicide, and gave as his reasons for the
crime, that he had forged to a large amount
to meet pressing necessities; and that
when it was discovered, he fed TO the West,
hoping to escape from punishment He
had trusted that he might outlive his dis
grace and be enabled to commence life
OF honest industry; but hearing through
letter from an accomplice, that the Off
GERS Of justice were on his track, he had
in despair resolved to anticipate retribu-
ton, and place himself beyond their power.
His only regret was the grief it would ec-
casion one very dear to him; but he had
explained all in letter to her, and he
hoped she would forgive him. The letter
closed by requesting the finder not to make
his disgrace public. He also desired that
he might be buried there, where he had
intended to regain his honorable name
and that his few possessions might be sent
with the letter in his desk to Miss Rachel
Staunton, the only one whom he felt still
loved him. l suppose it is hardly neces-
sary to say, that his wishes were complied
with as far as it was practicable. Under
the dark forest trees now repose the re-
mains of Walter Talbot. His name is
forgotten among men. He sleeps in obliy-
ion. But not thus can the memory of
that dreadful night perish. There is no
grave in which l can bury that. 1t always
haunts me. Ever as night comes, and
lie down on my pillow, seem to see
human form behind the curtain; and from
above, disfgured face looks down at me.

John Morgan, and the old lady, who had
"hearn on him." tainted and rolled under the
table. The girls keeled over against the WALL

into cupboard, when a long sandy-haired
chap entered the room.
"Who the h-ll are you ?" snid Sandy, eye
ing him closely.
I'm Morgan. Why~
"Im told you're hoss at kissin'; and as
you've hugged the ole oman and squeezed
the gals to death, l guess you had better drop

pale as he dropped a load of pies, corn-cakes

been eating heartily Of "Pm gone goslin !"
and dropped upon the floor.
Tho girls tied him and Sandy and the old
oman like to beat him to death, and then let

Clerk, not feeling authorized to do anything
of the kind, referred him to p. Verdant'
applying, was asked his name, which was
given. P, shaking his head ruefully,
said:
No, don't like that name. A man of

ST.. PAuL's PERsoN-How little stress is
to be laid on external appearances This
prince of apostles seems to hint concerning
himself that his bodily presence was not cal
culated to command respect. st. Chrysotom
terms him little man about three cubits or
four and half feet high. But Neciphorus
has given us the most circumstantial account
of PauPs person. St. Paul was Of small
stature, STOPPING and rather inclined to crook
edness, pale faced, of an elderly look, and
bald on the head. His eyes lively, keen and
cheerful, shaded in part by his eyebrows,
which hung little over. His nose rather
long, and not ungracefully bent. His beard
pretty thick with hair, and of sufficient
length, and, like his locks interspersed with
gray.
TRusT IN GoD.-To trust in God when our
warehouses and bags are full, and our tables
spread, is no hard thing but to trust Him
when our purses are empty, but a handful of
meal and cruise of oil left, and all the ways
Of relief stopped, herein lies the wisdom of a
Christians grace. Yet none are exempted
from this duty +; all are bound to acknowledge
their trust in Him by the daily prayer for
daily bread even those that have it in their
cupboards as well as those that want it; the
greatest prince as well as the meanest beg
gar. Whatever your wants are, want not
faith, and you cannot want supplies.
ALTHOUGH it be good and profitable that we
shonld ask and learn, and know what good
and holy men have wrought and suffered, and
how God hath dealt with them, and what he
hath wrought in and through them, yet it
were thousand times better that we should
in ourselves learn and perceive, and under
stand who we are, how and what our own life
is, what God is doing in us, what he will have
from us, and to what end he will or will not
make use of us. Thus that proyerb is still
true, "Going out were never so good but stay
ing at home were much BETTER"
That The Gospel narratives admit Of spi-
piritual application is'no accidental feature,
nor is the application itself to be regarded as
only arbitrary and capricious. Much rather
does il spring from The weight and signi6-
canoe of the Saviour's character as the centre
of all spiritual life, that everything in him
rises into higher spiritual signifcancy.
I AM THE Door (John Z. 9.)-The ancient
city of Troy had but one gate. Go round
and round the city, you would have found no
other. So to the golden city of heaven, there
is but one gate. Christs says: "I am the
door"
THE fear of God begins with the heart, and
purifes and rectiies it; and from the heart
thus rectifed, grows conformity in the life,
5he words, and the actions.

THE UNION.

Tell them this Union, so great, cannot sever
Though il may trembe beneath the rude shock I;
As it hath lived, so it shall live forever,
Strong as the mountain oak, firm as the rock.
Let them not deem, in a moment Of weakness
We can surrender our birthright and name,
Strike the old flag, and with patience and meekness
Bear the foul blot on our hardly earned fame
Soon shall our land, to its Old peace returning,
Spring to the duties that make nations great;
And while in every heart valor is burning,
Calmly and bravely her destiny wait

A TOUCHING ScENE.-Rev Horace Bush
nell, who is blind, city missionary for twenty
years in Cincinnati, in his late report relates
the following:
Leaving the omibus one day. and feeling
for the sidewalk with my staff, woman's
voice inquired: -
"Are you blind, sir2"
"Quite blind"

"Well, you are good at guessing; but can
you tell why God has deprived you, holy
man of sight, and left me, drunken sinner,
with my eyes ?"
"Even SO, Father, for 50 it seemed good in
thy sight.p

mine."
"Have we not all one Father? Hath not
one God created us ALL"
'One God created us, but am now an
enemy and not child"
at may be SO, yet through the blood of
Jesus, they who were sometimes alienated,
and enemies by wicked words, become recon-
ciled to God"
''It may be you would be offended if 1 offered
to lead you over this rough placer
Now Simon, the Pharisee, said silently in
his heart, if this man were of God, he would
know what manner of woman this is that
touches him. for she is sinner; but the scene
of Bethany was present, and 1 said, 4" will

"She did so, saying, "Thank God Thank

"For Whatp

servants, for am not fit to touch the hem of |

She was weeping. The hearse passed be-

THE RIGHT-HAND ROAD.

George aud I-better known as Mr.. and
Mrs. Ogden-about tive years after our
marriage, settled our affairs in the great
metropolis, and took our departure for the
" far West" Georges uncle, when dying,
had bequeathed to him farm of, 1 really
can't say how many acres, situated about
fourteen miles from the village of Smokie-
ton, which contained a mill, a blacksmith
shop, and one store. As George was not
getting along very nicely-our income
amounting to six hundred dollars a year,
and our expenditure to but little less than
twice that sum-he thought it better to
try what he could do on the above-men-
toned farm, having no doubt of speedy
increase in worldly wealth for, as he said,
We wouldn't see any one, and so we
needn't try to keep up appearances. A
very little plain furniture would be all
that would be necessary, under the cir
cumstances; and, as regards dress, why
We could dress anyhow"
At length we arrived at our new home
and very small one it was, so far as
the house was concerned. There was only
one room on the first floor, which 1 called
the universal room, and corresponding
number up stairs; but 1 afterwards per-
suaded George to build partition, in
creasing the number of apartments, and
decreasing their size in, the same ratio
but L have always vowed, that if COM
PEELED to sleep In the kitchen myself
soould have spare bedroom in my house.
1t has never been of the slightest use
but l am always hoping it will be, and
remain true to my first resolve.
The first year we had very hard work
to make both ends meet, but since then
we have had much better success. George
goes to Smokieton about three or four
times a year, for essentials; and sometimes
accompany him, but not often--for / al
ways have so much to do, that / find it
impossible to give up nearly whole day
to mere pleasure.
Before / came here, used to promise
myself an unlimited amount of enjoyment
in riding round the country; but | seldom
tried it-neyer indeed but once, and then
my experience was not of nature to
make me wish very ardently for second
trial. 1t is about this one ride am going
to tell. aai Hn aI
MY STORY.
One evening in the early part of No
yember, as George and 1 were sitting by
the fre-he taking journeys into the land
of Nod, and mending his clothes-I
suddenly remembered the empty state of
our larder; and at the same time noticing
my husbands condition, by philanthro-
pic and disinterested effort brought him
to life again, metaphorically speaking, by
asking the following very natural and
seemingly harmless question:
sGeorge, when do you intend to go to
Smokieton 2" a s' rsl - -
swell, my DEAR" replied he, with
scarcely recovered faculties, and in tone
of voice that showed he thought it most
extraordinary and highly disagreeable in
quiry, "what in the world do / want to
go there for?" -. a.

are concerned, that to want thing done,

LIFE,s ROYAL wORK.

Tender of thy dignity as Of thy pain,
Now hear Gods word for thee, 0 soul Of ours
"What to do 7" Lo calm--the burning bush,
And out of it, the Voice that spake to Abraham
Calls thee; "Thou art not alone; but /, Jehovah
And thy Christ, with our fair universe
That goes before, preaching the kingdom
Are beside thee"
The Union. [volume] (Georgetown, Del.) 1863-1866, 1863-09-25
"what to do ?" Wen, thou, too, give me thy

"What to do? ?" Well, thou, too, give me thy
"son
Isaac" to slay at will upon my altars ia
Give me back mine own of every name.
In whatsoever secret place thou hast hid
My treasures-go bring them mo;
Let daylight in upon them. Gather
Them together, and make holocaust
Heap them; keep none back-no jewel rare,
Pearl, or burning OPAL emerald,
Resonant sea-shell. Spare no pets;
All are mine and have loaned thcm only.
Give them to me back, just in this way as Abraham
Gave back Isaac. This Is faith-bcsdes, like
Abrahams-faith as "gran of mustard seed"
That freely gives its weakness, as its strength
And joy, up to Gods agents and so his will
Is done.
Through faith like Abraham's,
Creation stood its ordeals. 1t neared,
The Godhead always-passing up out of chaos
Into his full presence, through obedience;
After each success called higher mp, to take
Back larger orders. ne tt
And was not Christ in this
He by whom God worked from the beginning?
Creation conquered "void" and chaos
Through the same Lord Christ that saves souls
Art still in trouble
As to "what to do" soul of ours7
Creations throne touches -
At every door-sill. Go, sit down meekly
At her royal feet clasp thy hands upon her drapery
Press and kiss her pearl and emerald garments;
Touch her jewels. Let thy heart get softened;
Then, out Of all her ways of setting forth
Her dear Lords doctrine, choose the one you like,
And with the dew of her ripe lips upon the Gospel,
Give it place where the great trouble lies,
Twill heal and ransom thee.
