Saturday Evening.

How many kiss has been givep-how
many caress-bow many q look Of hate
how many kind word-how many q
promise has been broken--how many q
heart has been wrecked-how many
soul lost-how many loved one lowered
to the narrow chamber-how many q
babe has gone forth from earth to heaven
how many little crib or cradle stands
silent now, which last Saturday night
held the rarest Of the treasures Of the
heart! A week is history. A week
makes events of sorrow or of gladness,
which people need heed. Go home, you
heart-erring wapaerer. Go home to the
cheer that awaits you, wronged waits on
earth's pillows. Go home 10 your fami.
ly, man Of business. Go home TO those
you love, man Of toll, and give one night
to the joys and comforts fast flying by
Leave your books with complex figures
lsave everythipg-your dirty shop-youl
business store. Rest with those you love-
for God alone knows what mex. Saturday
night may bring them. Forget the world
of care and battles with which life furrow
ed the weed. Draw close around tht
family hearth. Saturday night has awai
ted your coming with sadness,in tears anc
silence. Go homo to those you love, ant
as you bask in the loved presence, and
meet 10 return the embrace of 5 our heartI
pets, strive 10 be better man, and te
bless God Tor giving His weary children
so dear a stepping stone in the river to the
Eternal, as Saturday night.

The MAN OF INTRGRITY.-We love to
gaze upon some beautiful planet in the
heavens, and watch its course every night
as in majesty it travels on among the
stars. We are filed with admiration t;
and like ourselves thousands are gazing
on the same planet, filled with ine1pressi-
BILE emotions.
Like planet in a dark sky is man OF
unbending integrity. We look upon him
with the same feeling of love and admira-
ton, as we watch his daily course among
his fellow men. In troubled times his
ligh. goes not out, though it may burn
feebly. He still exerts the same glorious
influence, and hundreds gaze upon hin
with delight. No seats Of honor dazzl
him, no wealth can seduce him. II

The Future.

When We look forward into the future,
how little do We see, that assures US of
length Of life, or brighter prospects. But
all uncertain do we take the step, as it
were, in the dark. We make our plans
as we will, we may promise ourselves that
the morrow may bring some pleasing as.
sociations, but we only awake to find our
joys turned into sorrow and disappoint-
ment. But hope, high hope, buoy, us up
to renew our journey, and thus We are led
on, step by step, through changes and
trials, until tho final change comes, which
unveils the great mystery of death, to our
eyes. Gould we forsee tho path we must
tread, who could for . moment have the
courage to travel on No hear. would be
brave enough to encounter the trials which
beset them. But with our ignorance of
the future, and Hope leading her Syren
voice to win us onward, We trust her in
child like simplicity, and 60 on rejoicing,
ofteutimes at the verge Of destr9ctien.-
How wisely has it been ordained by the
Fathers, that we should be unconscious of
our future life. as it would destroy all iu-
terests of life in onr earthly existence we
should remain tn apathctic Indifference to
existence and usefulness. But the uncer-
tainty brings Hope, and Hope gives Lie,
which animates US to press onward, sur
mounting obstacles, overcoming pain and
anguish, with the consolation that the fu
ture will be brighter, and our life will yet
be clothed in flowers. Thus we journey
on. hoping for the best, trusting in God
who has wisely hidden these things from
us,

The following Interesting letter was

Rourrem ard De,u Brother:
Attracted by the title Of your discourse

half through the columns of your discourse
the church bells sounded and l iel, myself
quite unable to break off abruptly ia the

loyalty. lnasmuch, therefore, my dear
brother, as you are responsible for my
absence from church feel that cannot
employ my leisure at home better than in

perusal of your sermon. Of course wha.

your own, and beg of you to destroy

The mos. pleasing and striking feature,
my dear brother, in your discourse, is the
immense encouragement i, holds ont to
loyal sinners. No Universalst ever opened
the gate of Heaven wider or made the
road thither smoother for the general
public than you haze done for your polit
ical brethren, among whom I am proud te
be classed. Instead of the old straigh
and narrow path through which it wa
once vulgsrly supposed the pilgrim mus
needs struggle and scramble to reach th'
Heavenly height, you have substituted al

The Soldiers Welcome Home.

The street is thronsed with eager crowds.
The breeze bears onward cheer on cheer,
On ev'ry face thete beams smile,
On many cheek Joy sheds tear.
The sun shines brightly in the heavens,
The flags are futtering in the air,
The joyous bells peal merry chimes
The cannons boom. the trumpets biate
A moments hush, a short.iivcd pause,
And then is heard distant drum.
And now, with myriad ste ,ter shouts,
The cry is raised, they "comc they GOMEZ"
They come is echoed in each heart,
They cone is beamed from every eye
They come ! is wreathed in every smile;
''oh, that he would !" some mourners Sigh.
Nearer and nearer beats the drum,
The steady tramp sounds loud and near.
The swaying crowd surge like the seu,
On every lip is, "They are here'"
With sun bronzed hue and gait erect,
The war-scarred veterans, marching by,
Show ball pierced flags and faded dress
Butbearing firm, and eagle eye.
Each sunburnt face is fondly scanned,
To 6nd brother, husband friend
Oh happy hearts who view their mates,
And feel their fears are at an end.
Then like the wave upon the beach,
That dashes on the golden sand.
And bears some trophy back to sea,
Won from the stoiid. tteadfasi iaud
SO breaks the seething, surging crowd.
Upon the steadfast warrior host.
And to affections heaving tide.
Ea h veteran is embraced and lost,
o, then, from tnis grief stricken earth
One distant CLEAN of fheav'n is seen
moment ofunsulied Joy.
An hour anmarred by Griefs grim mien.
Though wpr stained, wounded, weary. sore
The heros only called more dear.
The loving hearts tender care
His wounds TO heal, his woes 10 cheer.
Cursed be the land Of ingrats souls
Who in the day of peace forget
The battered, war worn veterans
Who Wars night hthonors brayely met!
80 blessed be we, if grateful hearts
Shall eer revere our heroes slain,
And honor and provide for those
Who from the war return again,

TO ADVERTISERS,

Th. circulation of the Philadelphia Age.
is steadily and rapidly growing, makes it
q, least as valuable medium for advertis.
ing as any other commercial and business
newspaper in Philadelphia and tho fact
that i, reaches large class OF conservative
readers, scattered over vast extent OF
country, who do not take any other Phila-
sdelphia paper, commends it, to an extra
ordinary degree, as a means of communl-
eating with the public not possessed by any
other journal published in this city.
THE AGE is now on sure and per.
manent foundation. The publishers could
easily 6ll their columns with the unsought
and most liberal Communications Of the
pre.s throughout the country but they
nreler that il should stand altogether upos
claims to public confidence well-knoWn and
established. 1t will be, as heretofore, the
support Of true National, Conservative
Democratic, Union principles, opposed
alike to radicalism and fanaticism 10 every
form, and devoted to the maintainance o
rood Government, Law, and Order. Th
reyiyal of oil the business relations of tn
country, consequent upon the suppression
of the rebellion and the restoration o
peace will enable the Publishers to make
number of improvements in the variou
departments of this journal, and they
therefore, respectfully solicit the supPol
Of all who wish to secure one oil the bes

There is no death | Tho stars 60 down
Torise upon some faircr shore;
And bright in Heavens jewclcd crown
They slime forevermore.
There is no death The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
TO golden grain or mellow fruit.
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganzc
To feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death The leaves may fan.
the flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours,
The coming Of the May
There is no death An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread,
lie boars our best loved things AWAY,
And then we call them dead"
Pe leaves our hearts all desolate--
lie plucss our farest, sweetest flowers
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adofn immortal bowers.
The bird'like voice whose Joyous toAes
Made glad this scene sf Joy and strife,
Sings now ia everlasting song
Ann the tree Of life
And whero flc sees n smile too bright.
Or hearts too pure for taint and vice.
