THE DocroR--Everybody knows the doctor
very important person he is to us all: What could
we do without him2 He brings us into this world,
and tries to keep us as long in it as ne can, and as
long as our bodies can hold together; and ne ls
with us at that strange and last hour, which will
come to us all, when we must leave this world and
20 into the next When we are well we perhaps
think little about the doctor, or we have our small
Joke at him, and his drugs; but let anything 60
wrong with our bodies, that wonderful tabernacle
in which our soul dweIs-let any Of its wheels go
wrong-then off we fly to them. If the mother
thinks her husband or child dying how she runs to
him and urges him with her tears how she watches
his face and follows his searching eye as he exam
ines the dear sufferer; how she wonders what he
thinks! what would she give to know what ne
thinks what would she give to know what he
knows how she wearies for his visit how cheer
full word from him makes her heart LEAF, with Joy,
and gives her spirit and strength to watch over the
he'd of distress Her whole soul goes out to hlm In
unspeakable gratitude when he brings back to her
from the power of the grave her husband or dar-
ling child. The doctor knows many Of our secrets,
of our sorrows, which no one else knows; some of
our sins, perhaps, which the great God alone else
knows. How many lives and hearts he carries in
his heart and in his hands So you see he isa very
important person, the doctor, and we, should do
our best to make the most of him, and do our duty
to him and to ourselves. ...

Peeping forth, bright Heavenly blue,
Sprinkled DER with sparkling dew.
From out thy folding leaflets green,
Thy modest beauty gladly seen,
Halls first the mornings rosy dawn
That plays upon the grassy lawn.
greet thee gentle sweet of love,
Thou seem'st herald from above;
A harbinger of hope and truth
To light the gloom of waywards earth.
Thy sweet perfume borne on the air,
Recalls season bright and fair,
When joyous songsters plume their wing,
Gay, glad ming notes of pleasure sing.
love thee-frail and tender flower
Born but to bloom pensive hour;
I'll Gull thee from thy parent stem,
Bright Heavenly creature, darling gem.
I'll shield thee from the chilling breath
Of winter cold, who brings thee death,
And water thee and bid thee bloom,
Within students silent room.
Thine azurehue, like Heavenly skies,
Will cheer me ere it fades and dies,
Thy fragrance sweet, will frequent lend,
yoiceless thanks while thee tend.
To shield thee from the winters harm,
And keep thy beauty bright and warm,
This will my fondest care repay,
Then thou must droop and fade away.

Not suspecting her uncle's object in summoning
her, Elinor entered his presence.
''You sent for me, uncle?" she said inquiringly.
IT did," said Mr. Westvelt, briefly.
'Has anything happened?" she inquired, no
ticing an expression on her uncle's face which
seemed to indicate that he was under the sway of
some excitement.
''Something that hope will happen" said Mr..
Westvelt.
"And what is that? asked Elinor, unsuspici-
ously.

HISTORICAL F1cT1oNs Gen. Early, of the late
Confederate army, in his pamphlet giving history
of bis campaigns in the Valley Of Virginia, asserts
that the Federal generals, including Generals Nc
Clellan Grant, Meade and Sheridan, never failed,
in all their dispatches, to place the forces of the
Conederatesopposedto to them at three or four times
their real number. In these assertions, General
Early is supported by other Confederate command
ers. At the battles before Richmond, when! Gen.
Mcclellan estimated General Lees army In de.

the Confederate force did not exceed 79,o9o; al

THE DYING CALIFORNIAN.

Lie up nearer, brother, nearer,
For my limbs are growing cold,
And thy presence seemeth dearer,
When thy arms around me fold.
I am dying, brother, dying
Soon you will miss me in your camp,
For my form will soon be lying
Beneath the oceans briny surf
Harken to me, brother harken,-
I have something would say,
Ere the vale of vision darken,
And 90 from hence away.
am going, brother, going,
But my hope in God Is strong
I am willing, brother, knowing
That He doeth nothing wrong.
Tell nv father, when you greet him,
That in death prayed for him,
Prayed that I might one day meet him
In the world that's free from sin.
Tell my motherhood assist her,
Now that she is growing old
That her child would glad have kissed her,
When his lips were pale and cold.
Listen, brother, catch each whisper,
For it Is my wife speak of now;
Tell, Oh! tell her, how I missed her,
When the fever burned my brow.
Listen brother, closely listen
Don't forget a single word;
Tell her, in death my eyes did glisten
With tears to memory shed.
Tell my wife to kiss my children,
Like the kiss last impressed,
Hold them as when last held them,
Folded closely to my breast.
Give them early to their maker,
Putting all her trust in God;
And He never will forsake her,
For He has said 80 in his word.
Oh! my children, Heaven bless them,
They were all my life to me:
Would I could once more caress them,
Ere I sink beneath the sea.
Twas for them crossed the ocean;
What my hopes were, I'll not tell,
But gained an orphans portion
And He doeth all things we'll
Tell my sister, remember
Every kindly parting word,
And my heart has been kept tender
By the thoughts their memory stirred.
Tell them never reached the haven
Where sought the precious dust,
But I've gained brighter Heaven,
Where the gold will never rust.
Tell them to secure an entrance,
For they will find their Father there;
Faith in Jesus and repentance
Will secure for each a share.
Hark! I hear my Savior calling
IT'S his voice know so well;
When am gone, Oh ! don't be weeping;
Brother, here is my last farewell.
