"It needed no explanation. I have

"And permit me to thank you, too,
Mrs. Simmons" said Mills, stepping
generously forward, "for, trust me, am

for her foolish resolution of teaching q

of US were aware what he was doing, he
caught the weeping governess in his
arms, pressed kiss on her brow, and
passed her over to my wife.
When we looked for Mrs. Marabeatt,
she was gone; how she had made her
exit no one had observed. An hour
later, and she was served with notice
that her rooms would be wanted at the
end of the month; and thus we were

THE WOMAN OF INFLUENCE.

Something must be done.
Speculation in gold and oil stocks had
run riot with my once handsome income
and l was brought, unwillingly, at last
to consent to my wife's project of taking
a few select boarders.
And Miriam, dear, good little wife
that she was, took all the disagreeables
such as house, hunting and bantering
with "agents" upon herself, leaving
me naught to do but loaf in our elegant
apartments, and whistle melancholy
tunes to the walls.
At last the "hated thing" was accom-
plished. and leaving our expensive
boarding-pla where for two years we
had enjoyed every luxury the city af.
forded, we took possession of pretty
brown.stone house in fashionable To-
cality, and advertised our rooms.
How Miriam expected to pay the
enormous rent and supply the table on
what she would receive from the few
boarders a three story house would con-

my own folly had swept away princely
fortune, | held my peace, resolving that
she should pursue her "pet scheme

BUILDING ON THE SAND.
BY ELIZA COOK.

BY ELIZA COOK.
IT'S well to WOO, tits well to wed,
For so the world has done
Since myrtles grew, and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have care, ye young and fair,
Be sure you pledge with truth;
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days of youth!
For if ye give not heart for heart.
As well as hand for hand,
You'll find you've played the unwise part
And "built upon the sand"
'Tis well to save, It's well to have
A goodly store of gold,
And hold enough of shining stuff,
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hope and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust
Unmixed with purer things,
And he who piles up wealth alone
Will often have to stand
Beside his Golfer chest, and own
'Tis "built upon the sand"
'Tis good to speak in kindly guise,
And soothe where'er we can;
Fair speech shall bind the human mind,
And love link man to man.
But stop not at the gentle words,
Let deeds with langnaage dwell, dwell
The one who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as we'll.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend helping hand,
For those that talk, yet fail to do,
But "build upon the sand.''

The lamented Rev. John Pierpont, now
deceased, often let fly some sharp arrows, in
his powerful orations against intemperance.
Contrasting on certain occasion, the liquor
traffic with other offenses against society, he
said:
The highwayman, from his lurking place,
springs into your path and, presenting his
pistol to your head, demands your money
But mark his language, Your money or your
life!" Here now is a chance to choose and
as men generally prefer to part with their
money on the instant rather than their lives,
you give up your purse, and the chances are
that you thus save your life. But what is

Grow gray and grayer hiding the warm sun ::
The bees and birds, their happy labors done,
Seek their close nests and bide.
Screened in the leafy wood
The stock doves sit and brood
The very squirrel leaps from bough to bough
But lazily-pauses-and settles now
Where once he stored his food.
One by one the flowers close,
Lily and dewy rose
Shutting their tender petals from the moon /;
The grasshoppers are still; but not SO soon
Are still the noisy crows.
The dormouse squats and eats
Choice little dainty bits,
Beneath the spreading roots of broad lime /;
Nlbbllng his ill, he stops from time to time
And listens where he sits.
From afar the lowings come
Of cattle driven home;
From farther still the wind brings fitfully
The vast, continual murmur of the sea,
Now loud, now almost dumb.
The gnats whirl in the air,
The evening gnats; and there
The owl opes broad his eyes and wings to sail
For prey; the bat wakes and the shell-less
snail
Comes forth, clammy and bare.
Hark that's the nightingale,
Telling the self-same tale
Her song told when this ancient earth was
young;
So echoes answered when her song was sung
In the first wooded vale.
We call it love and pain
The passion of her strain;
And yet we little understand or know;
Why should it not be rather joy that so
Throbs in each throbbing veins
In separate herds the deer
Lie: here the bucks, and here
The does, and by its mother sleeps the fawn !;
Through all the hours of night until the dawn
They sleep forgetting fear.
The hare sleeps where it lies,
With weary, half-closed eyes;
The cock has ceased to crow, the hen to cluck:
Only the fox is out, some needless duck
Or CHECKER to surprise.
Remote, each single star
Comes out till they are there
All shining SO brightly; now the dew falls
damp;
While close at hand the glowworm lights her
lamp
Or twinkles from afar.
But evening now is done
As much as if the sun,
Day-giviEg, had arisen in the east
For night has come, and the great calm has
ceased;
The quiet sands have run.

CONGRESSIONAL ELEcTIoN.-The bill lately
passed by Congress, calling that body to as.
semble on the 9th of March, 1867, in lieu Of
the usual and prescribed time heretofore rec

California to hold special election for the
purpose of being represented in the 40th
Congress. The term of our present delega-
ton will expire on the adjournment OF the

absolutely necessary. In view of the import
