dee Of the company, Four -and-a-half street,

The MoTHER,s HAND

A wand'ring orphan child was l. 70,
But meanly, at the best, attired; ls.
For oh, my mother scarce could buy .fI
The common food each week required:
| But when the anxious day had fed,
1t seem'd to be her dearest joy 'il
To press her pale hand on my head,
And pray that God would guide her boy.
But more, each winter, more and more
Stern suffering brought her to decay;
And then an angel pasS'd her door,
And bore her lihg'ring soul away
And I-they know not what's grief
Who re'er knelt by dying bed;
All other woe on earth is brief,
Save that which weeps mother dead.
A searnan's life was soon my lot, --
Mid reckless deeds-and. desperate men;
But still 1 never quite forgot
The prayer l ne'er should hear again;
And oft, when half induced to tread
Such paths as unto SIN decoy,
TIE felt her fond hand press nsy head,
And that soft touch hath saved her boy
Though hard their mockery to receive,
Who ne'er themselves 'gainst sin had striveni
Her, who on earth I dared not grieve,
l could not-would not grieve in heaven:
And thus from many an action dread,
Too dark for human eyes to scan,
The same fond hand upon my head
That b.ess'd the boy--AGh SAVED the man!

7o In the Supreme Court Of Kings
county, New York, Judge Gilbert
decided that the fact of o citizen
having served in the Confederate
army during the war, does not de-
prive him of the right to vote in
that State. The question was de-
cided in the case where Augustus
Wheeler applied for mandamus to
compel the register of the first dis
trictof the eseventh ward, Brooklyn,
to register his name in order that
he might vote. Mr.. Wheeler ad-
mitted having served IN the Con-
federate army as a surgeon, and for
that reason his name was refused.
The judges said; "The inclination,
in my mind, is very strong to work
his disfranchisement, but 1 cannot
find authority to do SO. The fact
of his having been rebel, the
war being over, and he being no
longer in arms against the Govern
ment, so far as | can discover, has
deprived him of no right or immu-
nifty whatever. 1t has only sub
jected him to punishment for trea-
son." The decision concluded
with the issuance of the mandam-
us, compelling the register to re-
ceive his name.

ADesertetd

An interesting couple, giving
their names as Mr.. and Mrs, Palms,
took rooms in boarding house in
Detroit a few weeks ago. At the
end of the first week, board be-
came due, the party failed to ap-
pear at supper, and were accord
ingly sought form their rooms. The
wife was found in a paroxysm of
distress, occasioned by the prolong-
ed absence of her husband. She
said he had threatened to leave
her, and she feared he had carried
out.his purpose. She was among
strangers, without the means of
paying her board, only ceasing
when. the last boarder had retired. :.
Her grief was inconsolable during
the days that followed, in which
no husband appeared. ei Eoisaa
The distress of the young wo-
man and interesting wife, deserted
by a cruel husband, awakened the
sympathies of the boarders, and a
handsome subscription was taken
UP and placed in the hands of one
of the number, a susceptible youth
of eighteen years, who volunteered
to make the presentation. He
called at the door and made known
the object of his visit. Mrs.
Palms, overcome with emotion at
the unexpected kindness, leaned
her head upon his shoulder and
wept in gratitude. The interest
awakened grew stronger, and the
young man, seeking to mitigate
the suffering she was undergoing,
offered to escort her to places of
amusement. She readily assented,;
and for several successive nights
they might have been seen oceu-
pying private box of one of the
theatres. q bgg .rrofzo .-31a
The eonfiding youth, at her so
licitation, advanced her sum suf-
fcient to replenish herwinterward-
robe, which was to be returned
when she should hear from her
father. On Saturday last the land
lady determined to seek for an in.
terview with her. lady boarder,
and solicit payment for two weeks
board then due, and learn her in
tentions Tor the future. With that
view she knocked at the door of
her room, but meeting with no re-
sponse, she entered the room, which
she found deserted. A dilapidated
old trunk was the only article left
by the female. Since her depart
ure i. has been ascertained that
the husband and wife together left
the, city by the Southern railroad,
doubtless to try the same dodge on
some trusting landlady and sym
boarders of some neigh
boring city. q.,.

THEGIPsY,s WARNING

Do not trust him, gentle lady,
Tho his voice be low and sweet;
Heed not that he kneels unto thee,
Softly pleading at thy feet.
While thy life is in its morning,
Cloud not thus thy sunny lot;
List unto the gipsy's warning;
Gentle lady, trust him not
Do not turn so coldly from me, - q
would only guard thy youth e-5s
From stern, withering sorrow;
'. l would only tell the truth!
Iwould shield thee from all danger,
Woo thee from the tempter's snare
Lady, shun that dark-eyed stranger;
l have warned thee-now JelcGrel
Lady, once there lived a maiden, f...,
Young and pure, and like thee, far;
Yet, oh yet, he wooed and won her,
Filled her gentle heart with care.
Then he needed not her weeping,
J' He cared not her life to save;
Soon she perished--noN she's sleeping
In the cold and silent grave.
Keep thy gold-I do not need 1t.
Lady, have prayed for this;
For the hour when might foil him,
Rob him of expected bliss. - H
Ay! l see thour't filled with wonder
At my words, SO fierce and wild;
Lady, in that green graveyonder gg
Lies tie Gipsys only child. 20 ff-e
