WESTMINSTER ND THURSDAY MORNING. JUNE "a, 1862

may be wishing at this very moment
that she had her paper to read while he
is paying almost its full price for year
--lor what? Aud yet how smilingly
he docs it. All those poor, sympa.
thizing wives How many clouds often
darken upon them from tho brows Of
their husbands when they ask for trif.
ling sums of money, aud how srudging.
ly the mite is handed over when given
What perfect foods Of joy that dollar
and forty cents might have poured upon
the children of the unsuccessful bill
lard player. All it is well for such
wives and children not to know where
the moucy all goOs."
They had finished at the nearest
table. The two gentlemen move | on,
and Albert Landman arose from his
seat aud left the house. Never before
had he such thoughts as aow possessed
him; he had never dwelt upon the same
grouping of ideas That very morning
his own true, faithful, loving wife hid
been sad and heart-sick because he had
harshly and uukindly met her request
for small sum of money. Aud his
sweet Lizzie had erept away to her home
almost broken. hearted for the want of
a simple toy, such as her mates pos.
sessed. And yet the sum Of both their
wants amounted to not US much as he
had paid away that evening for billiard
playing.
Albert Landmap wanted to be an
honest husband aud father, and the
lesson was not lost upon him On his
way home he stopped at Mr.. Grants
aud purchased the best and prettiest
hoop to be found, with driving stick
painted red, white and blue, and in the
morning, when he beheld his child's
delight, and hid received her grateful,
happy kiss, the question came to hi:
mind: Which was the best and happiesl
result, this or the five games of illiards?'
The hoop had cost thirty cents. lie
could play two games of billiards less
aud be the absolute gamer Of ten cent.

arose from the breakfast table, he de,
tected an uneasy, wistfpl look upon hi.
wiie's face.
"Kate, what is it ?"
Albert, could you spare me half {
dollar this moment
And out came wallet, aud the money
was handed over with a warm, genia
smile.
What! Tears at that? Wa i
possible that she had been little used u
such scenes on his part that so simple
an act of loving Kindness thus affected
her
How many games Of billiards would
be required to secure such satisfaction
as Albert Landman carried with hin
that morning to the shop.

how many may gain lasting profit b,

Why People 40 TO CHpRcH.--The
motives which induce different people
to 60 to chqrchop Sunday, or any other
day, are diverse, aud in any particular
case rather difficult to determine. In
the words Of poetic correspondent,
some 80 to spend m hour Of idle time,
some to hear new organ, aud some TO
criticise the preacher. Some GO to
show their boinets, some 10 see their
friends, some to flirt. Some 90 to gos-
sip with their neighbors, aud some for
respite from their labors. Some 20
from an inward sense Of duty, and some
from an outward sense OF beauty -
Some 60 to church because they are
afraid 70 DO otherwise. Some 20 to
sing, some to sleep, some TO gsso, aud
some to weep. But Of all this mixed
and thrnnging crowd, joining in the
responses aloud, how many Of them on
Sabbath day go thera 70 hear, 70 heed

CHILDREN GONE.

Sometimes, when the day grows dusky.
And the stars begin to come,
When children from their playing
Come singing and laughing home,
| think, with sudden sorrow.
As they press through the open door,
or the faces OF the children
That we never shall see more.
Children in snow-white caskeis,
Laid away to their rest
Their still hands lying folded
Over their pulseless breastl
Children who came and tarried,
As IL were, only for night,
And passed, at the break OF the morning,
on a far journey out OF sight
On long and lonely journey,
Where We could not help or hold,
For we saw but the closing of eyelids,
The finding Of locks of g0ld
Aud knew how now was but silence
where once bad been prattle and song,
And only chill and shadow
Where was sunshine the whole day long.
Away from our cares and earesses,
"God knows where they are," we say,
And we know that we tarry behind them
Only little way;
FOR we, too, haste on our Journey,
And we know II will not ho long
Till we come 10 the City Eternal,
The rest and the rapture Of song.
Yet oft, when the sun Is setting
In unspeakable splendor of light,
Or the day grows dim and dusky,
And the shadows stretch into the night;
When the children, tired with their playing,
Come in through the open door,
think Of the dear, dear children
Who never will come any more.

To FREsHEN SALT FIsH.--Mauy
perrons who are in the habit Of fresh
ening mackerel or other salt fish, never
dream that there is a right and wrong
way to do it. Any person who has
seen the process Of evaporation going
on at the salt works, knows that the
salt falls to the bottom. Just SO it is
in the pan where your mackerel or white
ish lies soaking; aud, as it lies with the
skin down, the salt viii fall to the skin,
and there remain; when, If placed with
the flesh side down, tho salt falls to
the bottom Of the pan, and the fish
comes out freshened as it should be-
In the other case il ia nearly as salt as
when put in.

AN ELOQUENT PAssAGE.-Probably
of all the beautiful and eloquent passa-
ges ever written by the inimitable
George d. Prentice, the following is
the finest:
at can not be that earth is mans
only abiding place. 1t can not be that
our life is bubble cast by eternity to
float moment upon its waves and sink
into nothipgness. Else why is ii that
the high and glorious aspirations which
leap like angels from the temple of our
hearts are forever wandering ensatisfed?
Why is it that the rainbow and cloud
come over US with n beauty that is not
Of earth, and then pass of to leave US
to muse on their loveliuessY How is it
that the stars which hold their festival
around the midnight throne are SGT
above the grasp Of our limited faculties,
forever mocking us with their unap-
proachable glorys And, finally, why
is it that bright forrs of human beauty
are presented to our view and taken
from us; leaving the thousand streams
Of our affection to fow back in an AL
pine torrent upon our heartsf There
Is realm where tho rainbow never
fades; where the stars will be spread
out before us like the islands that
slumber on the ocean, and where the
beautiful beings which pass before us
like shadows will stay for ever in our
presence"

Saving for Old Age,

No Que denies that it is wise to max e
provision for old age, but We are not all
agreed as to the kind of provision it is
best to lay in. Certainly we shall want
little money, for destitute old man
is Indeed . sorry sight. Yes, save
money by all means. But an old man
needs just that particular kind ofstrength
which young men are most apt to waste.
Many foolish young fellow will throw
away on holiday a certain amount OF
nervous energy which he will never feel
the want Of till he is seventy; and then
how much he will want it 1t is curl
Gus, but true, that bottle Of cham
pagne at twenty win intensity the rheu-
matism at threescore. 1t is a fact that
everlasting the eyes at fourteen may
necessitate the aid ofspectacles at forty,
instead of ofeighty. We advise our young
readers to be saving of health for their
old age, for the maxim holds good in
regard to health as to money--"Waste
not, want not" 1t is the greatest mis-
take to suppose that violation of the
laws of health eau escape its penalty.
Nature forgiycs no sin, no error. She
lets off the offender for fifty years some
times, but she catches him at last, and
inficts the punishment just when, just
where, and just how he feels it most.
Save up for old age, but save knowl,
edge, save the recollection of good aud
noble deeds and innocent pleasures
pure thoughts, save friends, save love.
Save rich stores of that kind of wealth
which time cannot diminish, nor death
take away.

How BEDs Should SFAsp.-A
physician writes TO the Dublin Journal
Of Medicine in support Of the old notion
that people sleep much better with their
heads to the north. He has tried the
experiment in the case Of sick persons
with marked effect, and insists that
there are known to exist great electric
currents, always crossing in one direc.
tion around the earth, and that our
nervous systems are ip some mysterious
way connected with this electrical agent.
Let the beds all head toward the north
pole.

A PURE EXPRESSION Every word
that falls from the lips of mothers and
sisters especially, should be pure, and
concise, and pearls, such as fell from
the lips Of the princess, but sweet, good
words, that little children can gether

blame, or anyregsets to pain through all
their lives.
