PEBBLES asked the Old Man.
BY JOHN QUILL.

PEBBLES had just asked Mr.. Merriweath
er's daughter if she would give him a lift
out of bachelordom, aud she had said yes
1t therefore became absolutely necessary
to get the old mans permission, 50, as
PEBBLES said, that arrangements might be
made for hopping the conjugal twig.
PEBBLES said he'd rather pop the inter-
rogatory to all of old Merriweather daugh-
tiers, and his sisters, and his female cousin,
and his aunt Hannah in the country, and
the whole Of his female relations, than ask
old Merriweather But it had to be done,
and so he sat down and studied out fine
speech which he was going to disgorge to
old Mcrriweather the very first chance he
got to shy it at him. So PEBBLES dropped
in on him one Sunday evening, when all
the family had meandered around to class
meeting, and found him doing sum in
beer measure, trying to calculate the es-
act number of quarts his interior could
hold without blowing the head off him.
''How are you, Peeb?' said old Merri-
weather, as PEBBLES walked in as white as
u Cuulk vi C1dlk, duu Do IL LIZ
had swallowed condensed earthquake
PEBBLES was afraid to answer, because he
wasn't sure about that speech He knew
he had to keep his grip on it while he had
it there, or it would slip away from him
quicker than an oiled eel through an auger
hole. So he blurted right out:
.Mr Merriweather: Sir, perhaps it may
not be unknown to you. sir, that during
an extended period Of some five years
have been busily engaged in the prosecu-
ton of a commercial enterprise"

ers. The day was Intensely warm, and,
filled with pity tor the poor, tised-looking
men, | sent some three or four of my ne
groes out with buckets of cool water for
them. In the meantime two young ladies
who were with me on the piazza made some
thonghtless remarks about the prisoners,
which were well calculated to wound their
feelings. Girls, said [, please remem-
Der that we are eonquerors in this instance,
and it's neither generous nor just to stab

heard by soldier who stood near, May
God bless you, madam twill never forget

Nearly three years have passed since
then, and had entirely forgotten the in

Tell me, ye winged winds,
That round my pathway roar,
Do. you not know some spot
Where mortals weep no more?
Some lone and quiet dell,
Some valley in the West,
+ Where, free from toll and pain,
The weary soul may rest?
The loud wind, softened to whisper low,
And sighed for pity as it answered.. .No p
Tell me, thou mighty deep,
Whose bllows round me play,
Knowst thou some favored spot,
Some island far away,
Where weary man may find
The bliss for which he signs?
Where sorrow never lies
Where friendship never dies
The loud waves, rolling in perpetual flow,
Stopped for WHILE and answcred-..No!'
And thou, SereneSt n00n,
That with such holy face
Upon the world looks down
Asleep IN nights embrace
Tell me, in all thy round,
Hast thou not seen some spot
Where miserable man
Mi hit find happier lot
Behind cloud the moon withdrew in woe,
And voice, sweet but sad, responded !"
Tell me, my secret SOUL,
0! tell me, Hope and Faith
Is there no resting place
From sorrow, sin and death?
Is there no happy spot
Where mortals may be blest?
Where grief may find balm,
And WEAKNESS rest?
Faith, Hope and Love, best boon to mortals
given,
Waved their bright wings and whispered
eyes, in Heaven %

Nhe Bruised Heart.

How soft y on tac bruised heart
A word of kind lps ais,
Aad 10 the dry and 49, IL -
The moist NJ -,
o,.--.o.~-Fgoy~ knew who walked the earth
Mid sorrow, grief and pain,
The power a word of kindness hath,
'Twere paradise again.
The weakest and the poorest may
The simple pittance give,
And bid delight to withered hearts
Return again aad live;
Oh, what is life, if love be lost?
If mans unkind to man
Or, what the heaven that waits beyond
This brief and mortal span?
AS stars upon the tranquil sea
In mimic glory shine,
Sc words of kindness in the heart
Reflect the source divine;
Oh, then be kind, who'er thou art,
That breathest mortal breath,
And it shall brighten all thy life,
And sweeten even death.
