Taking the Census in Chey-

not seem to understand the
necessity of taking the census
and naturally resist such
things. To one Mr.. Pierce,

'That is an impudent question

Pierce. I'm only H. indig-

CHAPTER vi.

Among unequals what society can
sort
What harmony or true delight"
Mrs. Barksdale, my hostess,
a robust looking woman of a.
bout forty, with a keen hawk
like eye, which seemed to find
out everybody's faults, no mat
ter how charminglY they were
wrapped in human shape-and
then such a nose as she had !
projecting out in bold relief
troln hor flat looking face,
which seemed to have the pow
er of detecting beyond belief,
or shifting up q whole tribe of
what she called ordinary
trash. She knew well enough
if you had even touched, much
less tasted a glass Of Port or
!Sherry-or had one of those
abominable 'Hivannus' as she
called them] in your hand
and if you had a game at cards
you needn't try to deceive her
no indeed, for she knew by
your very look that you had
bet your money on the contes-
tible' things /; so poor Mr..
Barksdale had to submit to a
Caudle twaddle-dum on account
of this knowing propensity Of
his wife s-but then she was a
woman of the most extraordi-
nary judgment, and it requir-
ed considerable tact to reach
the position which she had al
ready attained. She was the
mother Of six very great
responsibilities ; the eldest a
youth of eighteen, whom they
called witt and why they had
ever given him such a name |
was at a loss to find out, for
his monkey-like actions render
ed him a positive contradiction
to the name-and then his fiery
red. hair, and the down which
grew out on his upper lip, gave
him more of a savage look to
me, but which the family con-
Icluded made him handsome and
| more manlike. The next was
a girl of that interesting age
sweet SIXTEEN tall and gaw-
ky, thinking much more of
beauty than of mathematical
problems, and whom they call
ed 'Pinkey,' I suppose in conse-
Iquence of her very near resem-
blance to that sweet and grace
full flower but to me she look
| ed more like a-not a mountain
daisy--but a thistle, sticking a
briar into every passer by
Then came the other four, step
! by step, until the bottom was
reached (which was in the shape
of a fat bluffy child of six,
whom they called Beauty and
who never failed to get every
thing she would set up a yell
for.
Then came Pinkey,' about
nine, and who graced her name
to perfection; then another OF
twelve, called Katy and by
far the flower of the whole
groupe-then there was Ro-
isey,' who was fourteen, max

CROSS AND CROWN.

How bright and warm the sunshine lies
Upon that western hill;
| hear the children's laughing shout,
While playing by the rill;
o mother shall ever run,
And play with them again
Will God remove me from this lot
Ofhelplessness and pain
The mother stroked the dark brown culs,
And kiss'd that aching brow;
My son, we ask God of His ways,
But he replies not now;
Through devious paths His chosen ones
Were led for many q day,
Whilst the fair Canaan that they loved
Beyond the desert lay.
He silent on bis pillow turned;
She took the Word of God,
And read how through the Holy Land
The Saviour's feet once trod;
How in the garden low He knelt,
I Bow'd underneath our woes,
Then at the Gentile's judgmentseat
Stood meekly mid His toes.
His sacred temples scared and torn,
His gentle words reviled,
His heavy cross with patience borne
Ah, think of this my child;
And how, while rocks asunder rent
And skies were yelled in night,
He spoke to lift one dying soul
From darkness into light.
0 yes, He bore for you and me
That load of pain and care;
And shall we murmur at the cross
Which for time we bear ?
Nay, rather let us be like Him,
And suffer patiently,
Till He shall stoop to lift US up,
His glorions face to see.

Here was a real state of ex-

off, from time to time, until at
last, | told him that a
few words were all that
were needed, to satisfy his
longing anxiety, for Lolu
was poor, and could not lay the
great attraction, Dollars and
Cents at the foot of admira-
tion--but how earnestly did he
swear, by all that was pure and
holy, that he adored beauty OF
mind far above Dollars and
Cents, which he said, l SEEM

very happy he would be, TO
