NOT A LAUGH WAS HEARD.

Somebody, whose bachelor friend has
"been and gone" and got married, tells
all about il, in the following poetical
style -
Not laugh was heard, nor a joyous note.
AS our friend TO the bridal was hurried;
Not a wit discharged his farewell shot,
AS the bachelor vent 10 be married.
We married him quickly to save his
fright,
Our heads from the sad sight turning
And we sighed as we stood by the lamps
dim light,
To think he was not more discerning.
To think that bachelor. free and bright,
r And shy Of the sex as we found him.
Should there al the altar, at dead OF night,
Be caugh. in the snare that bound him.
Few and sbor. were the words we said,
Though of wine and cake pariaking,
We escorted him home from The scene Of
dread,
While his knees were swfully shaking.
Slowly and sadly we marched him down,
From The frs, TO the lowermost story,
And We never have heard or seen the
poor man.
Whom we lefI alone in his glory.

RING THE BELL SOFTLY.

Some one has gone from this strange world Of
ours,
No more to gather its thorns with lis flowers;
No more to linger where sunbeams must fade,
Where, on all beauty, deaths fingers are laid
Weary with minging life's bitter and sweet,
Weary with parting and never to meet,
Some one has gone TO the bright golden shore
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door !
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door
Some one is resting from sorrow and sin,
Happy where earth's conflicts enter not in;
Joyous as bliss, when the morning is bright,
When the sweet sunbeams have brought us their
light;
Weary with sewing and never TO reap,
Weary with labor and welcoming sleep
Some ones departed to Heavens bright shore.
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door
Angels were anxiously longing to meet
One who walks with them in Heavens bright
street
Loved ones have whispered that some one is
blest;
Free from earth's trials, and taking sweet rest,
Yes there is one moro in angelic bliss
One less TO cherish, and one less to kiss
One more departed to Heavens bright shore.
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape OH the door

A DR,SK1ye SroRy WITH TWO .p,sr,

A DRINKISG Story WITH TWO 'PlNTs.'
An old inebria,e named Billy, in one of
our Western towns, was induced by the
elooaence of local preacher, TO forego
the intoxicating cup and join the church.
Old Billy became an earnest convert; and
as he had been SO notorious drunkard,
his reformation was looked upon as a
wonderful argumen. in favor ofthe preach
er's particular faith: He was therefore
made much Of and allowed a front seat
during the service. 1t happened one day
10 be communion. and as The bread and
wine were handed around, Billy, occupi-
ing front seat, was among the first serv-
ed. AS the cup was handed him smile Of
inc fable light broke over his face. Cast
ing his eyes upward for a moment, he
placed the cup 10 his lips and drained ii
10 the las, drop. The Elder made dash
10 regain the cup, but was too late; 1t
was empty. With look Of dismay, the
Elder exclaimed. That was not all for
you = But Billy clasped his hands To-
gelher and grinning piously up at him,
said oh | love The Lord so much |

a Hard Story.

The following wonderful story is said
TO have been taken from the log book of a
vessel which arrived in New York
In the course Of the voyage, that dread
full disease, ship fever, broke out among
the crew. One OF the sailors, among the
first vclims, was accompanied by his son,
lad Of fourteen years, who was strongly
attached 10 his father, and remained with
him day and night, and never could be
persuaded 10 leave him for a moment.
A large shark was seen every day fol-
lowing the vessel, evidently for the pur.
pose Of devouring any one who should die
and be committed to the deep.
After lingering few days the sailor
died. As was the custom al sea, he was
sewed up in a blanket, and for the pur-
pose Of sinking him, an old grindstone and
a carpenters axe were put, in with him.
The very impressive service Of the EpIs-
copal Church was then read, and his
body committed TO the deep.
The poor boy, who had watched the
proceedings closely, plunged in after his
father, when the enormous shark swal-
lowed them both. The second day after
this dreadful scene, as the shark continued
10 follow the vessel-for there were 9TH
ers sick in the shp-one of the sailors
proposed, as they had shark hook on
board, 10 make an effort 10 take him.
They fastened the hook on long rope,
and batting i. with a piece Of pork, threw
it into the sea, and the shark instantly
swallowed it. Having thus hooked him.,
by means OF a wndlass they hoisled him
on board. After he was dead they pre-
pared 10 open him, when one of the sail
ors, STOPPING down for that purpose, sud-
denly paused, and after listening few
moments, declared most solemnly he
heard a low CULTURAL sound, which appear
ed 10 proceed from the shark. The sail
ors, after enjoying hearty laugh al his
expense, proceeded 10 listen for them
selves, when they were compelled to ad-
nit they heard similar sound. They
then proceeded TO open the shark, when
the mystery was eXplslnedr
ItaPpears that the sailor was not dead,
but in a trance; and his son, on making
this discovery when inside the shrrk, had
by means of knife ripped the blanket.
Having thus liberated his father, they both
wen, 10 work and righted up The old grind
slone-ihe boy was turning, The father
was holding on 10 the ship carpenters
axe, sharpening it for the purpose Of cut
ting their way out Of their Jonah.llke pris-
on, which occssioned the noise heard by
the sailor. As it was the hottest season
Of the year, and very little air stirring
where they were a! work, they were both
sweating tremendously.

POMPOSITY.

Hole moi thy head TOO high, my friend,
For surely thou mus, know
The heaviest heads OF whes, will bend
The stalks ou which they grow;
And everywhere the lovlies, flowers
Bloom nearest 10 the ground
The sweetest songsiers Of the wood
In lowly shades abound.
Hold not thy head TOO high, my friend,
Though rich in land and gold
The throngs that on thy steps attend
Speak not the thoughts they hold
Their true respect is only paid
Where worIhiness they see
Those deferenlisl bows are made
Unto thy wealth, not thee.
Hold no! thy head too high, my friend,
Whste'er thy station here
For brains will triumph in the end
Where then will be thy sphere
We envy not thy loudly tread,
Nor a. thy lot repine-
Who could not hold erect head
That weighs SO light as thine

Futurity.

How needless and unconcerned is NOR
tal man as 10 how it will 60 with him in
The future. How seldom does he leave
his thoughts rest upon his latter epd-'he
time when all that he so highly priced
upon earth will have 10 be parted with.
He knows that many who he had loved
have passed away from time 10 eternity;
nor would he for one moment doubt the
fact, that so II will go with him sooner or
later-,hai his body will also return 10 the
earth from whence it came, and that death
is no respector Of persons, but that II takes
away the young amidst all their hopes
and prospects, as well as the old whose
gray hairs and feeble step denote that
their earthly allotment is almost ended.
Ye, he goes on with bright and glorious
hope for the fu,ure-of gaining gres!
riches-of receiving great worldly honors
and high and exalted positions in life, and
many other things, not remembering that
future time is in the hands OF wise Gre
alor, who for some good purpose has not
permitted US 10 see into il. Perhaps il
we knew what was TO befall Us in the fu-
ture-what disappoiniments and sorrows
we would have 10 pass through il would
so weigh US down and discourage US as
10 entirely unfit Us for the performance OF
the necessary duties Of life, and eventu-
ally sinS US down TO the grave. There
fore We should ever remember the lines Of
the Christian poet, in which he says:
Tomorrow mortal, boast not thou
o time and tide that are not now
But think in one revolving day
How earthly things may pass away ~
And We ought also ever look unto Him
who has all time in His mighty hand, and
wbsonly knows what will be best for us
at present, and what will be our fate in
the dark and mysterious iaIure.
