evening his friend sat by him as he
wakened from sleep. His lips
moved silently, but smile such as
never rested there was on his face.
"Were you dreaming Charley ?"
"Perhaps it was dream, I hardly
know; it was a place more beauti
full than any plain or grove or field
1 ever saw, and seemed passing on
with great ranks Of soldiers, and it
was no weary march. I heard my
own name called in the sweetest
voice, and beside me stood my old
teacher, the same loving eyes and
gentle touch, but such a glorious,
happy face. He led me along to
one more beautiful, who reached
out to receive me, and he clasped
me in his arms I saw in his hand
the print of nail. Oh! I am so
happy. I know I am forgiven. All
my sorrow is changed to joy.'
A few days more and the Colonel
was there again. Charley had
just fallen asleep, but not to
dream. The nurses stood by,
waiting to lift the sleeper on a
stretcher, but they all stopped, and
silently looked. On the pillow lay
the open Testament, the stiffening
finger pointing to- these, "Unto him
that loved MS, and washed us from
our sins in his own blood" There
Charley had gone to realize his last
dream in that peaceful home where
every faithful teacher, and repentant
scholar, after the discouragement
and SORROWS life, shall be crowned
with everlasting iOy.

in his own mind, had considered
that any work but his earned the
money that paid for the farm and
supplied the provisions for the fam
lily. Every cent that came into the
family Golfers he regarded as his by
right of acquisition, and his wife
and daughters as dependents upon
his bounty.
Now comes our inquiry. Who
did earn the money that paid for
Johns farm -? If this wife perform
ed for him all the service for which
he paid tailor formerly, did she
not earn that money as really as the
tailor? If John had been obliged
to hire a woman to perform the la
bors which Mary performed in the
house and dairy, how much week
would he have been obliged to pay
her? And did not Mary fairly earn
this sum-as fairly as John earned
his days work in the field 4?
But suppose Sohn had been oblig-
ed, in addition, to hire a woman, not
only capable of experimenting his
dairy, but of training his children,
and instructing them in morals-a
woman, in short, who should be
nurse, cook, housekeepcr, and NOR
al guardian, in addition to being
tailoress, seamstress, and dairwo-
man-how much would he have had
to pay for all these things united, if
he had been obliged to pay, his wife
earned every week Of her life, and
ought to have had freely put into
her hands-not as a husbands gift,
but as her own lawful, proper earn
ings. 1t should have been her sal
ary, and the choice left with her to
spend it as she pleased. Then
she could, and probably would, have
paid her portion to raise the mort
gage and secure the farm.
But because this salary, fairly
earned, has never been paid her, her
husband cherishes the idea that he
alone has earned the money paid for
the farm, and that he supported his
wife and daughters.
Query: Has not his wife support
ep him quite as much as he has sup
ported her?

Pere Hyacinthe at Plymouth
Church-Mr. Beecher and the
Father Have a Little Talk.

Probably there were never so
many people assembled in Plymouth
Church as yesterday. Hundreds
stood up, and hundreds went away
unable even to get inside of the
building. Mr.. Beecher came in at
his usual hour, and great was his
surprise to behold seated in Mr..
Clafin's pew Father Hyacinthe. AIr.
Beecher said that he had no more
idea of his coming there to church
than he had Of the Pope of Rome.
He recognized him at once from his
resemblance to his photographs,
and by the bald SPOT on the top of
his head. Mr.. Beecher spoke with
great fervor end eloquence-
After the benediction was pro
nounced, che people crowded around
Father Hyacinthe by hundreds.
Every person in the body of the
church pressed towards the great
orator. Ladies mounted the back
rail of the seats, and stood there
supported by the gentlemen who at
te0Qeu Iuclu. MI. DCSCuCI AsiflllS
received word that he wished to see
him, went up and gave him a very
cordial greeting. Mr.. Beecher spoke
first. He said that all this demon
stration was not pure curiosity of
their people, but their very genuine
sympathy for him in the stand which
| he has taken in behalf of manly
Christian liberty. The Reverend
Father said that he was much pleas
ed with the reception they gave him.
He further responded by express
sions of gratitude and of sympathy.
He presented two letters of intro
duction, one from Mrs. Merriman
formerly of Plymouth Church, and
now Catholic), and one from Mr.
Persance, a celebrated French di-
vine. He came to church in his
coach, accompanied by DR.. Darling
Consul, and by Mr.. Tuck, from the
office of Monroe d Co., bankers. who
acted as interpreter. Mr.. Beecher
in speaking of Father Hyacinthe te
a friend, said "He is noble man
An acquaintance of mine in New
Haven says that he is simple, child
like, and true hearted; and I be
lieye it,"

The Girl with the Calico Dress

A fig for your upper-ten girls,
With their velvets and satins and laces,
Their diamonds and rubies and pearls,
And their millionaire figures and faces;
They may shine at party or ball,
Emblazoned with half they possess;
But give me, in place ofthem all,
My girl with the calico dress.
She is plump as partridge. and fair
AS the rose in it's earliest blood;
Her teeth with ivory compare,
And her breath with clover Perfume;
Her step is as free and as light
As the fawns whom the hunters hard press
And her eye is as soft and as bright
My girl with the calico dress.
She is cheerful, warm hearted and true,
And is kind to her father and mother;
She studies how much she can do
For her sweet little sister and brother;
If you want companion for life,
To comfort, enliven and bless,
She is just the right sort of wife
Ny girl with the calico dress.

Till in at the window that dawn-rays glis-
ten.
But that is all in the regular way
There's nothing at oil in the paper to day.
Nothing at all in the paper to dayl
To be sure there's a woman died of starva-
ton,
Fell down in the street as so many may
In this prosperous Christian nation.
Or two young girls with some inward grief
Maddened, have plunged into the inky wa
ters,
Ora father has learned that his sons thief
Or a mother has been robbed of one of her
daughters.
Things thas occur in the rugular way
There's nothing at all in the paper to day.
There's nothing at all in the paper to-day.
Unless you care about things in the city
How great rich rogres for their crimes must
pay
Though all gentility cries out "pityp)
Like the meanest shop-boy that robs till
There's a case to-day if Pm not forgetting,
The lad only borrowed as such lads will
To pay some money he lost in betting.
But there's nothing in this that's out of the
way
| There's nothing at all in the paper to-day.
Nothing at all in the paper to-day,
But the births and bankruptcies, deaths and
marriages,
But life's events in the old survey,
With virtue begging, and vice in carriages
| And kindly hearts under ermine gowns,
And wicked breasts under holden gray,
For Goodness belongs not only to clowns,
And o'er others than lords does sin bear
sway.
| But what do I read?-"Drownedl wreckedi''
DidI say
There was nothing at all in the paper to- day?
