every year; how he had been kind to
the suffering, and forgiven such wrongs
as make men friends, and striven
through all the trials and temptations
of his long, sad life, to be true TO God
and himself. SO the angel wrote UNI
der the last chapter of this mans life,
and every letter shone like some rare
setting of diamonds, "He died rich"
And the old man knew it, when he
stood at the silver gates of the Eter-
nal City, and they led him in, and
showed him the inheritance to which
he was heir.
There was the house not made with
hands, with its columns of pearl, and
its ceilings of jasper, with its pleasant
rooms, and lofty halls and its mighty
organs, from which peal forever the
notes of praise to our God.
There, too, was the pleasant land
scape with its green avenues, its gold
en- pavilions, its trees waving in the
Joy of eternal leaves, and its silver
meadow lands, sloping down to the
river of eternal waves. He was heir
to all these things, for he had laid up
for himself crown of glory in the
kingdom above, where ''moth and rust
doth not corrupt"

A children's party is given in an up

These are signs of the times-are
they not evidences of state of things
unhealthful, feverish, threatening To-
the honest simplicity of our political
life; and threatening not less evil to
the ideas and the principles of which
that life has hitherto been fair expo
nent?
Is there nothing worthier than per-
sonal adornment! One man spends
two hundred thousand dollars upon
dwelling honse; but he might build
with this sum long row of decent
cottages, to rent people in moderate
circumstances; he might enable fifty
or a hundred families of working men

York, and thus make himself public
benefactor--and that without sinking
his money where he can never recov-

Or, instead of dressing few chill

them of the freshness and charm of
youth, by these vanities, why not spend
the money in sending homeless chill
dren to comfortable farmhouses in the

In England during the French war,
useful enterprises of all kinds were orig
mated and prospered. There was then,
as with us now, an inflated currency;
great fortunes were made by specula-
tive ventures, as here now. No doubt
there was extravaganza but there
arose at the same time spirit favor
able to useful enterprises of many
kinds-such as we wish could obtain
among us. The citizen who wastes his
gains upon ostentatious houses, furni-
ture, dress or food, commits crime
against his country.

fell fainting at his feet before he could
save her.
Edward Barber remained for months
in the neighborhood, recruiting his sad
ly thinned regiment but it was long
before he again put himself in the way
of meeting Jessie, who, grown to a
shadow, with blanched and ctiolated
cheeks and form, seemed to be fast be-
coming too ethereal for earth She
was waiting--only waiting till the shad-
ows had grown little longer for the
voice of the angel that would summon
her to JOIN him she loved in the land
where strife is unknown and the battle
drum is never beat. Well the discard
ed sutton knew that she moumed bit
terly, but time he thought would dry
her tears, and he could yet gain her
consent to be his wife.
Seated on low stool by her moth
ef's side, when the shadows of an au-
tumnal evening had gathered thickly
around, and the leaves whirled in ed

she was trying TO read the blessed
words Of promise lined upon the pages
of holy writ, but could not for her

dark and the dead leaves falling thick

Father, there is somebody at the
door; will you go and see, please ?" she
said, suddenly starting up.
Every sound was n terror to her now,
and her parents petted and humored
her every whim, deeming that she
would soon pass away from their NOR

the neighbors' girls, I'll be bound, he
said, as the knock was repeated more
loudly, and he hobbled to the door.
Does Mr. Avery live here?' asked
the gruff voice of a man, who, as the
lights flashed upon him, stood revealed
in the dress of a soldier, and with the
stripes of a sergeant glittering on his
arm.

do You want, my good man ?"
Good Well, l do believe I've done
one good deed in my long, useless life.
But here is a piece of war timber--a
sort of sword without an edge-a bat

and lifted pallid-faced, trembling form
in his arms and carried him into the
room.

he DIED RICH.

People said this everywhere, when
the morning papers announced the
death of John Russell, President OF
the -- bank They said it on Wall
street, where they count wealth by
hundreds of thousands, and they said
it in elegant parlors, and by luxuriant
breakfast tables, all over the squares
and avenues of the great city They
said it, too, in dark alleys and squahd
homes where all his thousands could
not buy back to the millionaire one
hour of the life that was to them a
burden and misery. Everywhere it
was the same story, He died rich"
His family and his friends thought
SO when they gathered around the
bedside of the dying man and you,
reader would have thought so, too, if
you could have looked around that
chamber into which death was enter
ing with his footballs and CHASTITY pres
ence.
OH it was a princely room. Rare
pictures flushed the walls that winter
day with the glory of Arcadian sum
mer; the fairest blossoms of Southern
Mays were piled thick upon the costly
carpet; and the daintily embroidered
drapery fell in soft, crinkled clouds
from the massive bedstead. And the
owner of all this magniicence lay there
dying; and through all his life of more
than three score years he had toiled
and struggled for this--to die rich.
He had bought lands and sold them
he had sent richly freighted ships to
foreign ports; he had owned shares in
the railroads, and stocks in banks, and

ALI there was an angel who stood
at the bedside of John Russell in that
dying hour, and the man had nothing
out of all his life to give him; no gen
erous, noble, self-sacrifcing deeds
which would have been pearls and
gold, and all precious jewels on the
hand of the angel; SO he wrote down
at the last chapter of John Russells
hfe-"He died poor"
"He died poor" A very few per-
sons said this of an old man who lay in
back chamber of dilapidated build
ing, whose solitary window looked out
on the back garden of John Russells
residence. The floor was bare, and
there were only few chairs, table
and low bed in the room. BY it's
side stood an old black woman, whom
the dying man had occasionally fur
nished with an armful Of wood or
loaf of bread. She moistened his lips
with water, or held the tallow candle
close to his dim eyes so he might once
more see the lights Of the world. He
had not dollar upon the earth; his
fortune had taken wings and flown
away; his wife and children had gone

ARMY DEsERTIoNs.--In recent speech
in the Senate, Mr.. Wilson stated the
following interesting facts, relative to
assertions from the army:
1t had been represented that there
were sixty thousand deserters from
our army. This was mistake. There
were not more than forty thousand.
Many of these had escaped from the
army through hospitals and other
means.
1t was also represented that twenty
eight thousand deserters had been re-
turned to the army in the past few
months through the provost marshal
system. In connection with the enroll
ment act, there are now few deserters
IN the army. He thought there were
eight or ten thousand deserters in
Canada or the British Provinces. They
had gone there when desertion was
not considered so great a crime as it
is now, when discipline was slack, and
when 1T was comparatively easy to OBJ
tain troops. He cited the fact that
over thirty-fve thousand troops were
absent without leave at Harrison's
Landing.
He had learned that many of these
deserters in Canada were anxious to
return and serve their term out, as the
war had lasted longer than they had
expected. They find that living in
Canada is much harder than serving
their country in the field. He thought
that if the President would name such
places as Detroit, Buffalo, Ogdensburgh
or some points in the State of Maine
where these deserters might come un-
der the terms of this bill, quite body
of men would return to duty.
