THE FIRST DEATH OF THE HOUSE.
HOLD.
BY AMELIA.

Oh many mournful year hath flown
Since first amid our family-band
Death came and stole our loveliest one,
And bore her to the spirit-land.
Yet shrined with many sweet sad thought
That lov'd ones memory fingers still;
For oh she left a void that nought
But mournful thoughts could fill.
Years have passed by, said and yet
1t only seems the other day,
Since aronnd her dying bed we met,
With breaking hearts to weep and pray,
Her gentle soul we strove TO think.
Would linger yet mid earthly flowers,
Even when it was trembling on the brink
OF loveler words than ours.
Yes there cen when all hope had flown
We wept away each lingering hour,
Until the shades of death came down
And closed at last the shutting flower,
And yet it seemed like sin to grcve
For one so patient and resigned;
For if she mourned twas but to leave
Such breaking hearts behind.
She died. Yet death could scarcely chill
Her smiling beauties, tho she lay
With cold extended limbs, for still
Her face looked fairer than the day.
Those eyes once eloquent with bliss
Were closed rs soft as shutting flowers.
Oh few could bear sight like this
Yet such sight was ours.
How slowly wore that long, long day:
Like spirits in some baunted place
We'd sit and sigh, then steal away
To look once more on that pale face.
We could not think her soul had past
The awful bounds of mortal strife;
That that warm heart was cold at last,
That loved US more than life.
And when the funeral rite was said,
They bore her from our happy home,
And left her with the silent dead,
pae-faced tenant of the tomb.
They re red no marble mid the flowers
Above the grave to mark the spot
Yet many Il heart as fond as ours
Still holds her unforgot.
Months passed, yet sill our sorrow gushd
The free glad laugh no more was heard
And many little voice was hushed
That used to warbe like bird.
And tho at times we strove to smile
Scrcncy for each others sake,
We wcpt in secret all the while
As flour hearts would break
Yet why should death be linked with fearP
A single breath, low-drawn sigh
Can break the ties that bind us here,
And warft the spirit to the sky,
Such was her end. A calm release,
No clingings to the mortal clod,
She closed her eyes, and stood in peace
Before a smiling God.

To Young Men.

Remember that hasty rush into manhood
lessons the vital powers of being, and detracts
from the strength and energy which attend a
gradual but natural development. Those
creatures-bugs. ants, vermin-that are born
in the morning and become mature at noon,
are aged in the evening and die before the
morrow! Tho young men who would fain do
their part in building up society, and giving
solid and enduring strength to their country
must distrust their own abilities, must culti-
vate modesty and diffilence, must learn be-
times to put the rein upon themselves in eve
ry respect of their nature; must be willing
patiently to postpone the period of response
bility; must husband their powers, in the ear
ly period of life, to give strength to maturity
and to preserve vigor for old age.

CoRRY O'LANUs.
LEARN TO THE LAST.

Socrates at an extreme age learned to play
on musical instrument for the purpos of resist
ing the wear and tear of old age. Cato, at
eighty years of age thought proper to learn
the Greek language Plutarch when between
seventy and eighty commenced the study of
Latin. .-Boccaccio was thirty five years of age
when he commenced his studies in polite lit
eraturc yet he became one of tho three great
masters of the Tuscan dialect Dante and Po-
trarch being the other two, There are many
among us ten years younger than Boccaccio
who are dying of ennui, and regert that they
were not educated to taste at literature; but
now they are too old. Sir Henry Shelman
neglected the sciences in his youth but COM
menced the study of them when he was be-
tween fifty and sixty years ofage. After this
time he became most learned antiquarian
and lawyer. Our young men begin to think
of laying their seniors on the shelf when they
have reached sixty years of age.-How diff
ferent the present estimate put upon expert
ence from that which characterized certain
period of the Grccian republic when man
was not allowed to open his mouth in political
meetings who was under forty-f years of
age. Colbert the famous French minister, at
sixty years of age returned to Latin and law
studies. How many of our colege-learnt
men have even looked into their classics since
their graduation Ludoyico at the great age of
1l5 wrote the memories of his own times. A
singular exertion noticed by Voltaire who was
himself one of the most remarkable instances
of the progress of age in new studies Ogily
the translator of Homer and Virgil was unac-
quaintcd with latin and Greek till he was
past fifty.-Franklin did not fully commence
his Philosophical pursuits till he had reached
his fftieth year. How many among us of
thirty, forty and fifty who read nothing but
newspaper for the want of taste for natural
philosophy. But they are too old to learn.
Acoorso, great lawyer being asked why he
began the study of law so late he answered
that indeed he began it late but he should
therefore master it the sooner. This agrees
with our theory that healthy old age gives the
man the power of accomplishing difficult
study in much less time than would be neces-
sary to one of half his years. Dryden in his
sixty-eighth year commenced thcl translation
of fthe Dad and his most pleasing productions
were written in bis old age. We could GO on
and recite thousand of examples of mon who
commenced a new study and struck out into
an entirely new pursuit either for livelihood
or amusement at an advanced age. But eve
ry one familiar with the biography Of distin-
gushcd men will recolect individual cases
enough to convince him that none of the old
and ndolent will ever say, am too old to
study.

NEVER complain of your birth, your employ
mcnt your hardships; never fancy that you
could be something ifyou had different lot and
sphere assigned you. God understands his
own plan and he knows what you want great
deal better than you do. The very thing that
you most depr recate as fatal limitations or OBJ
structions, are probably what you most want.
What you call hindrances, obstacles, discour-
ement are probably Gods opportunities and it
is nothing new that the patient should dislike
his medicine on any certain proof that they
are poisons. No, truce to all such impatience
Choke that envy which guaws at your heart
because you arc not in the same not with
others, bring down your soul, Or rather bring
it up, to receive Gods will and do his work
in your lot and sphere, under your clouds of
obscurity, against your temptations, and
then you shall find that your condition is ne
yer opposed to your good when consisted with

KNIGHTS OF TIM GOLDEN CIRCLE.
CONCLUDED.

But sir, I am straying from the end had
in view when | commenced this note which
may only serve to fasten the shackles of the
captive on my wrists and yet for which l care
much less than one would suppose since my
liberty can in no way effect the great ends and
objects, the actions or labors of the X. G. G.
We have labored too long and earnestly to
leave such interests dependent on the liberty
of any one man.
IF the United States Government had imme
diately on my arrest summoned me before the
Departments of State and War, it would have
been at once satisfied that it had acted under
a misapprehension and that SO far from either
myself or the Order having any connection
with the Confederate Government it had ever
stood aloof from all connection with either of
the contending sections and have been since
the beginning of the war up to the present
moment most solicitous for peace honorable
alike to both sections. Our membership is in
both armies and in both sections, for which
reason as an Order the K. G.. G. could not
take part with either Of the contending powers,
The X. G. G. is only the military circle of
Americanism and the occurrence of the war
rendered it absolutely necessary to suspend,
| until further orders all those departments in
any way affecting North or South. But, sir,
let me again assure you that beyond and
above all sectional and political considerations
there is something in the public heart, both
North and South which still binds together
the lovers of Saxon democracy, of constitutions
| al liberty throughout North America: and it
has been the constant effort of the Knights of
the Golden Circle North and South since the
war began to reach the public ear through the
press by social teaching and by books and Pc
riodicals in a way to show Americans that we
were tending to such system of disintegra-
ton as to endanger if not as early to destroy
every hope of our fathers to plant here such
permanent system Of constitutional democra-
cy as to afford at all times and to all people
refuge from tyranny in the old world Let
| the public remember that our theory is that
the real question of the world to-day and foi
ten years past has been one of Democracy Us,
| Observation-Disclosures Us. Saxonsm and that
the X. G.. C. has been proved to stand forth
the great vanguard of Savorism. The Order
warned the American people as early as 1855
of the Franco-Spanish Alliance against Mexi-
co. 1t showed that the monarchies of Europe
were determinded to disrupt us by dangerou;
sectional issues and so weaken the power o.
the United States as to accomplish their ends
with the smallest possible expenditure of Euro
peau blood. The present civil war was TO b.

How Scholars are Made.

Costly apparatus and splendid capinets
have no magical power to make scholars. In
all circumstances man is, under COP, the
Master of his own fortune, SO is he the maker
of his own mind. The Creator has so con-
sisted his human intellect that it can grow
only by its own action it must certainly and
necessarily grow. Every man must, there
fore in an important sense educate himself
His books and teachers are but help; tho
work is his. A man Is not educated until ho
has the ability to summon in act of emergen.
cy all his mental powers in vigorous exercise
to effect his proposed object. He is not the
man who has seen most, or has read most,
who can do this such one is in danger Of
being bore down like beast or burden by an
overloaded mass of other mems thoughts
Nor is the man who can boast merely of ma
ture vigor and capacity; the greatest of all
the warriors that went to the siege of Troy
had given him strength not because he car
ried the largest bow but because self-dis.
ciplne had taught him how to bend it.

HOME LOVE.

The Peoples Journal Of Health says:
"Eyen as the sunbeam is composed Of
millions Of minute rays. the house light must
be constituted of little tendernesscs, kind looks
sweet laughter, gentle words and loving coun-
sells. It must not be like the torch light OF
unnatural excitement, which is easily quench-
ed. but like the serene, chastened light, which
burns as safely in the cast wind as in the
stilest atmosphere. Let each bear the others
burden the while let each cultivate mutual
confidence, which is gift capable of increase
and Improvement, and soon it will be found
that kindness will spring up on every slde,7
displacing constitutional unsuitabiiity and
want of mutual knowledge. even as we have
seen sweet violets and primroses dispeiling
the gloom of the gray sea rock. Such life
is worthy to be lived-such home well
worthy of a name and it is by no means be-
yond the reach Of any who will earnestly and
truly seek to attain it. Yet it comes only
through loving watchfulness, not on the part
of one alone of the family number, but through
the kindly contribution of all =; an interest Of
each in the other, and a determined purpose
of all to secure the greatest degree Of happi-
ness by the exercise of patience, gentleness
and forberrance, With the consciousness that
as all are imperfect so all require the Chris.
