"A gentleman recently travelling from
the West in a sleeping car witnessed the
following scene: In the same car with
him was gentleman trying to still a cry
ing child by carrying it to and fro in the
car, and which, by its screams, finally IL
ritated imam in one Of the berths to such
degree thathe could endure itno longer,
and cried out profancly, "What in is
the matter with that young one| And
soon again, "Where is the mother OF that
child that she is not here to pacify it|
At this the poor gentleman in charge OF
the child stepped to the berth and said:
"Sir, the mother of this child is in her cot
fin, in the baggage car" Our informant
says the gruff grumbler Immediately
arose, compelled the afflicted father to re-
tire to his berth, and from that time until
morning took the little orphan under his
own care.

WoMAN.-To the honor, tho eternal OF
the fair sex, be it said, that in the path of
duty no sacrifice is with them too high or
too dear. Nothing is with them impossi-
BILE, but to shrink from what love, honor,
innocence and religion require. The
voice of pleasure or of power may pass
by unheeded, but the voice Of afiietion
never. The chamber Of the sick, the pill
low of the dying, the vigils of the dead,
the affairs OF religion, never missed the
presence or sympathies of woman. Timid
though she be, and so delicate that the
winds of heaven may not too roundly
visit her, on such occasions she loses all
sense of danger, and assumes prefer
natural courage which knows not and
fears no consequences. Then she displays
that undaunted spirit which neither
courts difficulties nor evades them that
resignation which utters neither murmurs
nor regrets; and that patience in suffer
ing which seems victorious over death it.

THE EMPTY CRAp1E.-There is a whole

THE EMPTY CRADLE.-There is whole
volume of poetry in the following little
sketch, which we find in the last number
of Miss Barber's Weekly:
We met John on the stairs. He was
carrying an old cradle to be slowed away
among what he termed ''plunder," in the
lumber-room One rocker was gone, and
the wicker work of the sides broken; it
was an old willowy affair, but we could
not refrain from casting sad look into
it's empty depths.
"Gonew we said dreamily, "all gone%
What golden heads were once pillowed
here, heads on which the curls grew moist
in slumber, and the checks and lips flush
ed to the hue of rose leaves. When sleep
broke, the silken fringed lips opened
heavily from the slumberous eyes; smiles
fitted like sunbeams over the face J; the
white fist was thrust into the mouth, and
when mamma lifted the muslin and peep
ed to see if baby was sleeping, cooling and
growing were heard
The little feet began to kick out ofpure
delight, and kicked on until both of the
tiny red shoes were landed at the foot of
the cradle. Where are those heads now?
Some that were embrowned by vigorous
manhood are sleeping on battle-felds !;
some are bleached with time and cares,
and the feet have grown sore and weary
on the rough paths of life.
Perhaps some little one, once tenderly
rocked here, is sleeping in the coffin.
Over it grow hearts ease and vigorous
box, and white candy-tuft, and the starry
iessamine. The blue-bird filters it's bright
wings through the willow bough and
the cool summer wind whispers to the
green leaves and grass blades on the
grave. What Of? perhaps of its immor-
tality. Sleep on, little dreamless one.
"Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven"

A DELICATE BRIDE.-Between Yreka
and Jacksonville, Oregon, there was a
wedding last winter, about the time OF
the deep snow, when Mr.. Pelham and
other citizens were corralled in that cold
country The families of the respective
parties to the marriage were in attend
ance, and the party was rather after the
old fashioned style, made up of neighbors,
their wives and babies, and anybody that
happened to be stopping anywhere with
in accessible distance. 1t was pleasant
affair; but, like all similar assemblages,
it dispersed, and the bride returned to
her chamber, first having whispered to
the fond groom, "Don't come up for half
an hour" This being first request, he
obeyed, waited the time anxiously, nor
let the hand of the ticking clock pass by
second of the limit ere he had gone to
her with whom his life was joined.
Rapping gently at the door of the bri-
-dal chamber, and receiving no reply, he
entered unbidden and saw his wife lying
on the bed, arrayed in night-gear of the
purost white, presenting picture of beau
ty, taste and loveliness beyond compari-
son. One step further, q closer look, and
the blood rushed back to his heart-she
was dead Loudly calling for help, faith
cr mother, brother, sister, bridemaids, all
the household rushed to the room. The
mother discovered that her daughter still
breathed, but horror. upon'horrors there
lay the empty vial from which the fatal
draught had been taken. Messengers
were dispatched fer physicians, the pa
tent wasrubbed and sprinl1lcd, and hopes
were entertained of her revival, symp-
toms looking favorable. At thisjunctnrc,
somc one picked up q piece of folded pa
per from table, on which was written,
in the delicate hand of the fair young
bride:
"Be not alarmed, dear husband. Feel
ing that the occasion would be too much
for my nerves, have taken chloroform,

THE SABBATH.

Fresh glides the brook and blows the gale,
Yet yonder halts the quiet mill
The whirling wheel, the rushing sail,
How motionless and still !
Six days of toll, poor child of Cain,
Thy strength the slave of want may be;
The seventh thy limbs escape the chain
A God hath made thee free
Ah tender was the law that gave
This holy respite to the breast,
To breathe the gale, to watch the wave,
And know the wheel may rest!
But where the waves the gentlest glide,
What image charms to light thine eyes 7
The spire reflected on the tide
Inspires thee to the SKIES
To teach the soul its noblest worth,
The rest from mortal coils is given;
Go snatch the brief reprieve from earth
And pass-a guest to Heaven.

A GooD W1FE.-A good wife is one
who puts her husband in the side of the
bed next to the wall, and tucks him in to
keep him warm in the winter, splits the
wood, makes the fires in the morning,
washes her husbands face, and draws on
his boots for him, never suffers rent to
remain in her husbands small clothes,
keeps her shoes up at the heels, and her
stockings darned, never wonders what
her husband sees interesting in the young
woman who lives across the way, never
slams the door when her husband is speak
ing, and always removes the children
when they eat up their fathers supper.

A YOUTH WHO NEVER SAW A WOMAN.
Meadows history of the Chinese, lately
published in London, in chapter on love.
has the following story:
A Chinese who had been disappointed
in marriage, and had grievously suffered
through women in many other ways, re-
tired with his infant son to the peaks of q
mountain range in Kweichoo, to spot
quite Inaccessible to the little footed Chi
nese women. He trained the boy to wor-
ship the gods and stand in awe and alb
horrence of the devils, but he never men
toned women to him, always decending
the mountain alone to buy food. At
length, however, the infrmities OF age
compelled him to take the young man
with him to carry the heavy bag of rice
AS they were leaving the market togeth-
er, the son stopped short and pointing to
three approaching objects, cried, Father,
what are those things. Look look what
are they~ The father instantly an
swered with the peremptory order, Turn
away your head; they are devils% The
son in some alarm turned away noticing
that the evil things were gazing at him
with surprise from behind their fans. He
walked to the mountain in silence, eat
no supper and from that day lost his ap-
petite and was afflicted with melancholy.
For some time his troubled and anxious
parent could get no satisfactory answer
to his inquiries, but at length the young
man burst out, crying with inexplicable
pain, "Oh, father, that tallest devil! that
tallest devil, father"

UNFoRGoTTEN.

Sweet lady mine, the faded rose
Is often dearer than the flower
Fresh-gathered; SO each memory grows
More precious since the parting hour;
And oil loves artist-hand can give
Of glowing tint and tender shade
Is with me, that your face may live
In colors that can never fade.
And still my fancy paints you near,
Though oil the room is lone and drear /;
And oft at eventide hear
Your phantom footsteps on the stair;
A presence in the gathering gloom
Thrills al my pulses with delight,
And seems to glorify the room
With loveliness denied my sight.
And little reok I that long miles
OF smiling lands and foamy sea
Divide us love at distance smiles,
And holds the willing winds in fee;
And every wind that racks the clouds,
Or gently moulds them in the blue,
Bears love-thoughts in tumultuous crowds,
Or softly watts prayer for you.

SLEEP AND DEATH.-As men begin to
be about fifty years old, especially of Sc
dentary habits, the feeling on rising in the
morning is as if they had not gotten
enough of sleep, not as much as they
used to have, and as if they would like to
have moro but cannot get it. They look
upon a healthy child sleeping soundly
with feelings of envy. But it is curious
to observe that there is a bliss to all in
the act of going to sleep, bliss we be-
come cognizant of only when we happen
to be aroused just as we are falling into a
strong sleep; and there are strong phys
biological reasons to suppose that this
state is q counterpart of the great event
that comes to all, the act of dying. In
fact, those who have, in rare cases been
brought back to life when on its EXTREMIST
verge, and in several cases as to those who
have been recovered from drowning and
other modes of strangulation, or simple
smothering, the expressions have been on
returning to consciousness, GLOW deli
oiousw "Why did you not let me goF
An eminent man, thus brought back,
represented that the last remembered
sensation of which he was conscious were
as if he were listening to the most raw
ishing strains Of music. Let us all,
then, cherish the thought that our ap-
proach to the sleep of the grave is the
strict counterpart of the approach Of
sleep.

STOLE HIM, BUT DIDN'T EAT HIM.-The
Baton Rouge Advocate relates the follow
ing:
Last week a case was up before the
jury, and the district attorney had ex-
hausted all his eloquence in the attempt
to convict darkey for stealing goose.
The Judge was tired, the jury wearied,
and the bar officials and spectators all
hoped the case would be speedily closed,
but they were doomed to disappointment.
Up rose the old major, the hero Of a thou
sand contests at the bar, and for two
hours flow of eloquence poured forth
upon the ears of the jury, evidently con-
vincing them of the prisoners innocence.
Shrugs and gestures denoted that all they
wanted was chance to get out of the
jury corner, and that goose, darkey,
prosecutor and all concerned, might go to
Guinea if they could be released.
The major piled it on thick, he showed
them law after law, read supreme court
condensed decisions, referred to every
thing relative to geese from the Roman
time down to the present, and closed his
brilliant appeal by calling their attention
to the honest countenance of the client
"could such man steal-the Heavens
forbid, look at his face, you perceive ster-
ling honesty in every lineament-could
you steal, prisoner at the bar, could you
steal a-goose? show the gentlemen your
innocence by the sincerity of your an.
swer. eyes sar, 1 did steal um but ]
didn't eat um," was the unexpected re-
sponse, and the gallant major, thunder
struck and exhausted, caYed.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1866-08-02

The W1FE.-Only let woman be sure
that she is precious to her husband-not
useful, not valuable, not convenient, SIM
ply, but lovely and beloved; let her be
the recipient Of his polite, hearty atten-
tions; let her feel that her care and love
are noticed, appreciated and returned
let her opinion be asked, her approval
sought, and her judgment respected in
matters Of which she is cognizant; in
short, let her only be loved, honored and
cherished, in fulfllment of the marriage
vow. and she will be to her husband, her
children and society, well-spring OF
pleasure. She will bear pain, and toll, and
anxiety, for her husbands love is, to her,
a tower and fortress. Shielded and shell
tered therein, adversely will have lost its
sting. She may suffer, but sympathy will
dull the edge of sorrow.
A house with love in it-and by love
mean love expressed in words; and looks,
and deeds, for I have not one spark OF
faith in love that never crops QUITS to a
house without love as person to ma
chine; one is life, the otheris mechanism.
The unloved woman may have bread just
as light, q house just as tidy as the other
but the latter has spring Of beauty about
her, joyousness, an aggressive and pene-
trating and pervading brightness, to
which the former is stranger. The deep
happiness in her heart shines out in her
face. She is ray of sunlight in the
house. She CLEANS over it. 1t is airy,
and gay, and graceful, and warm, and
welcoming with her presence; she is full
of devices and plots, and sweet surprises
for husband and family she has never
done with the romance of life she, herself
is lyric poem, setting herself to all pure
and gracious melodies. Humble house
hold ways and duties have for her a gol-
den significance The prize makes the
calling high, and the end sancti6es the
means Glove is heaven, and heaven is
love-"
