Sing Away Your Grief.

We can sing away our cares easier than
we can reason them away. The birds are
the earliest to sing in the morning the birds
are more without care than anything | know
Of Sing in the evening. Singing is tho
last thing that robins do When they have
done their daily work when they have flown
their last fight, and picked up their last
morsel of food, and ceansed their bills on
napkin Of a bough, then on top hvig they
sing one song Of praise. | know they sleep
sweeter for it. They dreammusic; for some-
times in the night they break forth in singing,
and stop suddenly after the first note, startled
by their own voice. Oh that we might
sing evening and morning, and let song touch
song all the way through.
As | was returning from the country the
other evening, between six and seven o'clock,
bearing a basket Of flowers | met o man that
was apparently the tender of a mason. He
looked brick and mortar all over He had
worked the entire day, aud had the appear
ance of man that would not be afraid to
work. He was walking on with light step,
and singing to himself as he passed down the
street, though he had been working the whole
day and nearly the whole week, Were it
not that my good thoughts always come too
late, | should have given him large allot-
ment of my flowers Ii he had not been out
of sight when the idea occurred to me-
should have hailed him and said, Have you
worked all day2" "Of course have" no
would have said. Are you singing2' "Of
course | am" Then take the flowers home,
and give them to your wife, and tell her
what blessing she has in you"
Oh that we could put songs under our
burdens Oh that we could extract tho
sense of sorrow by song Then these things
would not poison SO much. Sing in the house,
Teach your children to sing When troubles
come, go at them with songs When griefs
arise, sing them down. Lift the voice Of
praise against cares. Praise Godby singing;
that will lift you above trials of every sort.
Attempt it. They sing in heaven; and
among Gods people upon earth, song is tho
appropriate language of Christian feeling,

| Dan is a Watchdog in an iron 1undry,

an air Of calm satisfaction delightful 70 be-

with the meat, but was called away 40 the
instant and, as 10 was not quite time, he
hung it up on a nail, meaning to return de
rectly Dan didn't like that arrangement
but sat down and waited, with a resigned ex-
preston, both funny and pathetic
The clock struck, but no one camo and
Dan barked, to remind his master that dinner
waited Master didn't hear and there hung
the delicious meat, just out of reach, in the
most tantalizing manner. Dan bor6 it as
long as he could f; thought over his wrongs
and growled his opinion, that it was a mean
shame to keep hard-working fellow waiting
when he was rayenously hungry. Presently,
he made up his mind that he wouldn't bear
it. He had a right to that meat aud he
would have it, in spite of other peoples neg
lect. Up he jumped, took good look gave
a spring, and didn't get it, Over and over
he tried, growing excited as he leaped up
and bounced down, each time getting Just
one momentary sniff, as he snapped and miss
ed.
One Of the workmen, attracted by -le
noise, peeped in at a window behind him, and
enjoyed the fun, wondering when Dan would
give up But Dan had no thoughts of giving
up, for d" Na-deSperaHdum' was his motto
so, he jumped and paved and snatched till
he was exhausted, then sat down to consider
the matter.

Robbing God.

One Sunday gentleman was going to
church. On his way he saw number Of
boys playing on the common. He wanted
very much to show them how wrong it wa.
for them TO be SO doing, but he knew that il
he began to reproye them they would not
listen to him. So he walked leisurely up to
them. and sat down on the grass. Presently,
in pleasant, familiar tone, he said, " Boys,
| want to tell you a story"
Directly they all gathered unsuspectingly
around him, aud he began as follows:
"Thcre was once good man who was no
ted for his Kindness and liberality. At the
time Of which | speak, he was on journey
As he was pursuing his way along lonely
road, he met man who represented himself
as having suffered great loss, in consequence
Of which he was in deep distress With his
usual kindness the good mau drew out his
purse and after examining it, he said, O.
have only seven pounds with me, but | think
with one pound | can get to the end of my
Journey, and you shall have the rest With
this he handed the man six pounds. Was
not that generous Would not you have
thought that the beggar must have gone off,
feeling very grateful and contented2 Ger
tainly, we should have expected this. But
he did no such thing. lie was not beggar
at all, but robber, aud seeing the good man
had still one pound in his purse, he knocked
him down with a club, and stole his last pound
from him."
The boys were very indignant on hearing
this They all cried out against the shame
ful conduct of the robber One of them went
so far as to say, he didn't think anybody could
be found quite so wicked as that.
"Now, stop" said the gentleman let
me tell you, boys, this is just what you are
doing. God has given freely six days cut Of
seven for your own use. He has kept only
one for Himself, to be kept holy, and spent
in worshiping Him; and yet you are so mean
as to rob him even of that 9!
The boys hung down their heads. They
had not word to say but broke up their
play and went off-The Bibtical Treasury.

If Judge Clinton did not make speech
on that occasion, it was because MIR. Vennot
did. As the address was fully reported at
the time of its delivery, we will not report it
here, but simply refer to that part Of it which
relates TO our heroine:
" ! am happy" said Mr. Vennet, that
this prize has fallen to the daughter Of my
friend, Judge Clinton, Of Clintonville. She is
worthy daughter Of a worthy sire. She may
well be proud to have received this token Of
her teachers appreciation, for she won it un-
der peculiar and trying circumstances. Young
ladies' do not forget that though you are
beautiful when adorned, you are more attrac-
tive more intellectual, more sefreliant while
you remain satisfied with what Providence
has placed at your disposal"

Warning to Young Men.

Charles Lamb told his sad experience, as a
warning to young men, in the following Ian
guage The waters have gone over me
But out Of the black depths, could be heard,
would cry out to all those VINO have set a
foot in the perious food. Could the youth
to whom the flavor Of the first wine is as de-
licious as the opening scenes OF life or the
entering upon some newly discovered para
disc, look into my desolation, and be made
to understand how drear it is when he shall
feel himself going down precipice, with
open eyes and passive will to his destruc-
tion, and have no human power to stop it, and
yet feel it all the way emanating from him
self; to see all godliness emptied out of him,
and yet not able to forget time when it was
otherwise to bear the piteous spectacle Of
his own ruin; could he see my icvered eye,
ieyered with last nights drinking, aud fever
ishly looking for to-nights repeating Of the
folly could he but feel the body Of death
out of which cry hourly with feebler outcry
to be delivered, ii were enough to make him
dash the sparkling beverage to the earth, in
all the pride Of its mantling temptation"

THE PREsIDENT,s FAMILY.

Mrs johnson, Il coniirmcd invalid, has new
or appeared in society in Washington. Her
very existence is a myth to almost every one.
She was last seen at a party given to her
grandchildren. She was seated in one OF the
Republican Court chairs, dainty affair Of
satin and ebony She did not rise when the
children, or older guests, were presented to
her she simply said My dears, | am an
invalid !" and her sad, pale face and sunken
eyes fully proved the expression. Mrs John
son looks much older than the President and
her age does exceed his by few swings of
the scythe of time, She was never beautiful,
but an observer would say, contemplating
her; ct noble woman--God's first, best gift
to man." Perhaps it is well to call to mind
at this time that it was this woman who
taught the President to read after she became
his wife, and that in all their earlier years
she was his counselor, assistant and guide
None but wise and good mother could have
reared such daughters as Mrs. Patterson and
Mrs. Stoyer. When Mrs. Senator Patterson
found herself the first lady in the land"
she made this remark, which has been the
keynote of the feminine department Of tho
White House from that eventful day to the
present time "We are plain people, from
the mountains Of Tennessee, called here for a
short time by u national calamity. | trust
too much will not be expected Of u.s." When
Anna Surratt threw herself PROSTATE upon
the floor of one of the ante-rooms Of the
White House, begging piteously to SEQ Mrs.
Patterson, she said "Tel the girl she has

right to speak than the servants Of the White
