THR HARP OF HRAvEE.-0ue of the sweetest
recolleotons of my boyhoodis beautiful re-
ply my mother once made me when my heart
was swelling with childish grief
Ih d Just returned from the house of
wealthy neigbbor, who had kindly given me
the use of her piano for few hours every day,
to CRAFTY my extreme love for music. Our own
cottage home looked so plain in contrast with
the one had just left, and no piano within Its
walls. | laid my upon the table and gave vent
to my OVERLOOKING heart. felt grieved, and
perhaps a little angry, that we were unable to
afford the one thing desired above all others
Ia piano--and expressed my feelings to my
mother.
Never shall forget her sweet, gentle tone,
"a she simply replied Never mind if you
cannot have piano on earth. you may have
harp In heaven" Instantly the whole cur
rent of my feelings was changed. Earthly
| things dwindled into insignifcance, and the
"harp ia heaven" with its golden strings, be
came the object of my desire felt rsproved
| for my repinings against Providence, that hi
| had placed me in an humble home, and from
| that moment the enoyme ents Of heaven SEEM
| ed far to outweigh all the pleasures of earth.
That beautiful reply has followed me all my
| life; or rather has gone before me likea brigh
| guiding star, lifting my thoughts above thi
tran sient lie, aud opening to my spirits visior
the bright scenes 10 that land of life and light
I have piano on earth now, but it's charm ha
gone. Its music no longer glsddens ny hear
as 1t once did, for the ears that loved best Il
listen to It's sweet tones are now enrapturs
| with the grand harmonies OF heaven. The dea
fingers that so often touched its keys, now swee
the golden harp. strings. Oh, that harp in heav
en- | how my soul longs for one breath ofits ric
melody.

HosKsr AND HosoRABLH.-The N. Y. Eve
ming post says. ''our fellow citizen, Mr..
CYRUS W. Field, whose name will always be
connected with the Atlantic Telegraph, has
twice nearly ruined himself by his devotion to
that enterprise. Though man OF independent
fortune when he began, he embar kea 1t In so
large q portion OF his capital as NEARLY TO make
shipwreck OF the whole. While In England,
enes ged in the expedition Of 1887, a financial
storm swept over this country and his house
suspended, but on his roturn he asked only
for time, and paid all in full with interest.
But the stoppage was q heav,j blow, and being
followed by Ere In 1859, which burned his
store to The ground, and by the panis of Dec
1860, Just before the breaking out of the war
he was finally obliged to compromise with his
creditors Thus released, he devoted himself to
the work of his life, which he has at last car"
ried through. The euceess of the Atlantic
Telegraph, we art happy to learn, has brought
back portion of his lost wealth. and mis- nrst
care has been to make good all losses to others
| he has addressed a letter 10 every creditor
| who suffered by the failure of his house In lsoo
requesting him to send & statement OF the a.
mount compromised, adding the interest FOL
nearly elk years, and as fast as presented re-
turns a cheek in full. The whole amount will
be about 5000 600. Such fact, however h'
may wish to keep it secret, ought to be knowr
| to his honor and to the honor OF the merchant'
Of New York" -.=

King Alcohol has many forms,
BY which he catches men;
He Is beast Of many horns,
And ever thus has been.
CHORUS.
For there's rum, and gin, and beer and wine,
And brandy of logwood hue,
And hook, and port, and flip combine,
To make man look blue.
He says be merry, for here's good Sherry,
And Tom and Jerry and Champagne and Perry,
And spirits of every hue.
o, are not these Gendish crew

A liar from the first;

Then drink because you thirst.

His Kingdoms crumbling fast,
His votaries are heard to say:
Our tumbling days are past.
For there's no rum nor gin, nor beer, nor wine

And now they're merry, without their Sherry,
