"Can we doubt it, when we know that
God over.rules all things for good aud wise
purposes? 2"
When Marah was in her third year, her
mother one day was playing with her under
the orchard trees. The child, in playful de-
iiance, mounted upon the high stone wall be-
| yond her mothers outstretched arms. man,
coming up tie road on horseback, saw the
playful race, and drawing his steeo up close
to the wall be snapped his whip at the little
thing, thus thinking to drive her down to her
mothers arms ere She fell. Instead Of fright
eDing her, she held her arms out to him.
Something about the beautiful face arrested
his attention, and springDg eff his horse he
caught her in his arms and leapcd the wall,
and--Malcolm and BerDice Whately stood
face to face He uttered such an ejaculation
of astonishment ard remorae that Marah
slipped down from him, and climbed up into
her mothers arms.
The recognition was instantaneous on both
sides, but Bernice with the step of an en-
press turned away, having not uttered either
word or sound.
"Stuy," he cried, catching her by the hand.

near to giant you all the reparation in my

"It comes too late" was the calm, cold
answer. 81 accept nothing from your hands,

'' You must accept something at my hands,
Bernice. l love you better than ever loved
any one else, or ever can love any one."
You took singular, method of proving
your love-" was the bitter answer.
But let me prove il pow;" and his hungry
arms stretched out towards the bravo mother
and her child.
"Too late. You come too late!" she sim
ply said.
"Oh, no, not that; say not that"
~ rcpeat-too late"
Z" But for the sake of your child, our child,
Bernice. She will need father, a protector"
"Yes, she needs protector p aud Bernice
moved away, while the beautiful child's face
smiled back upon the wretched man, "apd
shall give her better one than you could
ever be-"
"My God what mean you ?" and he strobe
up beside her.
"SimpIy that ere long shall marry the
best man in the whole world, who, knowing
my entire history, glories in becoming the
father of my sweet, little Marah, and the
husband of Marah's mother"
A groan of anguish escaped him.
"One moment, Bernice, just one. Is there
nothing that Lean dog"
Nothing; only get you hence back into
the world whence you thrust me to fight it
alone with my babe. If, in future, you long
for true, faithful, wifely heart to lean on, or
a fair daughter to study your comfort, con-
sole your solitude by thinking that your own
hand hurled both these blessings from you."

Thoughts. of Heaven
No sickness ther

No sickness there
No weary wasting of tho frame away:
No fearful shrinking from tSe midnight air;
No dread of summers bright and fervid ray:
No hidden grief
No wild and cherries vision Of despair;
No vain petitions for swift relief;
No fearful eyes, no broken hearts arc there
Care.has no home
Within the realm of ceaseless praise and song!
It's billows break away and melt in foam, -
Far from the mansions of the spirit throng.
The storms black wing
Is never spread athwart celestial skies !
It's wailings blend not with the voice of spring,
AS. come too tender Aoweret fades and dies
- : No night distils "a
It's chilling dews upon the tender frame;
Ne moon is needed there the light which fills
That land Of glory, from its Maker came!
No parted friends
Der mournful recollections have to weepj
No bed of death enduring love attends,
Te watch the coming of a pulseless sleep.
No blasted flower,
Or vi,hered bud, celcstiasgardcns know;
No scorcbing blast or fierce descending shower
Sca.ters destruction like aruthless foe.
No battle word
startles the sacred host with fear and dread;
Tho song of peace, creations morning heard,
Is sung wherever angel minstrels tread.
Lot us depart,
If homo like this. s.await tho weary soul
Look up, thou stricken one! Thy wounded hear
Shall bleed no more at sorrows stern control.
- With faith, our guide,
White robed and innocent to lead the way,
Why fear to plunge in Jordau's rolling tide,
And End the ocean OF eternal day?

BULLY FOR BEEcHEn.-The following from
q recent address by Rev. Henry Ward Beech
er, makes extremely distasteiul reading for
some of his political associates:
"I should be sorry to see any more Gov
ernment agents spreading out throug h the
land. If the President would call home
every Treasury agent that is disgracing the
North and the Government and humanity,
aud alternating the South, I, for one, should
be glad. Here and there are no doubt men
who stand above bribery and suspicion Of
corruption noble men and true-but all
through the South, taking them COM
preheasively, they are as locusts eating
up the land. They are predatory nuisances,
and degrade the North, from which they
come, and the Government under which they
serve"

sIutiny on shipboard.

Much exc:teu cnt was created yesterday
by mutiny on board the bark Scotland,
Captain Benjamin e. Maynard, loaded with
cotton, l5ing in the stream, opposite Browns
wharf, bound to Liverpool.
1t appears that o new crew of six men had
beer shipped o. board the Scotland, from
one of the Shipping Offices on East Bay, and
went on board yesterday morning before the
vessel left the wharf. The men at first re-
fused to obey the orders of the mate when
hauling oul into the stream. Between ten
and eleven o'clock the Captain went on board
for some of the ships papers, and was about
returning when the crew made rush for
him, demanding to be .aken ashore, and say.
ing they had not received their advance The
Captain, who was about clearing his vessel.
said he had no time to talk with them then,
and with his hand beckoned them back. One
of the men Immediately gave him severe
blow over the right eye with knife, cutting
him in two or three places. His companions
drew their sheath knives and rushed both on
the Captain and other officers, threatening
to cut the hearts out Of them. The FIRST mate,
Mr.. Sias Duell, who was standing on the
poop deck, seeing the danger of the Captain,
drew a revolver and fired, killing one of the
crew named James Kelly, and wounding an
other of the samo name i'll the left arm. The
deceased was shot in the left side, and ex.
pred almost instantly. The rest of the.crew
then ran forward, when tho Captain set
signal OF distress-union down. A boat with
Captain G. G, Nell, Custom. house officer,
and crew from the bark Orion, at Kcrr's
Wharf, Immediately pulled out to the vessel,
and was followed by boat from the U. S.
steamer Tacouy, (aag-ship,) anchored some
distance in the strcan q, but which made q
prompt reply to the signal for assistance,
The crew were disarmed. their knives taken
from them, and ali the offenders put inirons,
Information of the affair was,seut to Coroner
Whiting, who obtained the assistance Of
Officer Cotes and police force under Lieut..
Hendricks with whom he visited the vessel
and brought the dead body, with officers aud
crow, to the city. The names Of the crew
who have been committed to Jail are as fol-
lows; Cornelius Mahoney, James Sweeney,
james Whitley, James Kelley, Charles Nc
Cabe. A'number Of witnesses in the case
have also been retained. An inquest will ba
held, this morning, on the body Of the de.
ceased. 1t is believed that the affair was
premeditated by the crew-that they intend
ed to force on advance from the Captain and
then desert the vessel.-CharDeston Courier.
