The Little Vacant Chair.

There is little chair that stands alone in
corner of the room. II is never moved out of
that place. and only touched by reverent
hands, which softly wipe the atoms of dust
from its arms and the little cane seat, tears
dropping over it fast but UNDECIDED.
That little chair has not always stood there
alone so still only few short weeks ago,
and it was the constant companion, the sharer
in all the restless fancies Of bright and busy
child. Up stairs is seen the cradle, and in
the hall stands the little carriage there il
always stood, and cannot be put away now,
though it awakens grief anew whenever seen.
There are drawers picked full of little gar
ments in which she looked so pretty, laid away,
for they will be wanted no more and 20 many
little toys and picture books which she often
held up, and only at night the little eyes
dropped YEARLY, and the little hands rested
from their play.
But alas the little eyes are closed with
the seal of death the little tresses parted
smoothly over a placid brow, and the little
hands lie peacefully at rest over the heart
whose quick pulsations have been suddenly
checked in the very beginning Of young life.
Death has been there--that fearful destroyer
which shows no mercy, who kills hope with
one icy glance and leaves to tender pity only
the poor consolation of tears. Street, street.

A Boys Trials.
THE FIRST LONG TAILED coAT-GoING HOME
WITH TIE GIRLS.

THE FIRST LONG TAILED coAT-GoING HOME
Win TIE GIRLS.
We do not think that any boy ever put on
his first long-tailed coat without a sense of
shame. He first twists his back half of look
ing in the glass, and then, when he steps out
Of doors, it seems as if all creation. was in a
broad grin. The sun laughs in the sky the
COWS turn to look at him there are faces at
every window his very shadow mocks him.
The very boards creak with consciousness of
the strange spectacle, and the old pair of pan
falcons that stop light in the garret window
nod with derision.
If he is obliged to pass group Of men
and boys, the trial assumes its most terrible
stage His legs will get mixed up with em-
barrassment, and the flap of the dangling ap-
pendage is felt against them, moved by the
wind of his own agitation he could not
feel any worse were it dish-rag, to be worn
by him as badge of disgrace. 1t is hap
py time for him when he gets to church and
sits down with his coat-tail under him but
he Is still apprehensive with thinking Of the
Sunday school, and wonders if any of the
children will ask him to swing his ong-taied
blue.
The entrance into society may be said to
take place after boyhood has passed away,
yet multitude take the initiative before
their hearts are presentable. 1t is a great
trial for a tender or tough age. For any
oyergrown boy to go to door, knowing that
there are a dozen girls within, and knock or
ring with absolute certainty that in two min
utes all their eyes will be upon him, is a Sc
we're test Of courage. To 60 before these
girls and make satisfactory tour Of the room
without stepping on their toes, and their sit
down and dispose Of ones hands without put
ting them in ones pockets, is an achievement
of which few can boast. If boy can 90 so
far as to measure off ten yards of tape with
one of the girls, AMI cut it short at one end,
he may stand chance to spend pleasant
evening but let him not hatter himself that
the trials of the evening are over. There
comes at last the break up, The dear girls
don their hoods and put on their shawls, and
look saucy, so mischieyous and unimpressible,
as if they did not wish any one to 90 home
with them. Then comes the pinch, and the
boy having the most pluck makes up to the
prettest girl, his heart in his throat, and his
tongue olinging to the roof of his mouth,
and crooking his elbow, stammers out the
words, " Shall | see you home ~ She touches
her fingers to his arm, and thus they walk
home about foot apart, feeling as awkward
as goslings. As soon as she is safe inside
her own doors, he struts home, and really
thinks he has been and gone and done it.

The Stolen Cherries.

Frederick Second of Prussia, paid much
attention to the raising Of fruit, and in his
extensive greenhouses the finest varieties
were cultivated, so that he might have enough
all the year round. One Christmas eve his
gardener brought him a branch containing a
new variety of cherries and so large and
luscious were they that the King after tast-
ting one or two, enclosed the rest in a hand
some box, and after he had written note to
his wife who was then a. one Of the royal
castles in Berlin-tied and sealed il with his
ownsoal. Then sending for page-who it
seems had been all the while looking through
the keyhole--he commanded him to take the
box and deliver it to Her Majesty.
The page started, but being little more
than boy, like all boys, he was fond Of cher
ries and each step Of the way his mouth
was watering for the tempting fruit
II | could only eat few he thought I;
but the box was sealed must have a
taste - and riding into by-path he dis
mounted from his horse, hastily broke open
the seal, and began to eat One after another
was eaten, before he fairly realized what he
had done. What should he say to the king ?
Then the rogue tore up the note and break
ing the box into small pieces he hid them in
a deep snow-drif.
Returning home, he sought the king
our mission was soon accomplished,
said Frederick. What said the queen ?"
d" She was delighted with your gift, and
ate all the cherries in my presence" said the
page boldly.
When New Years day arrived, and the
queen aud royal family came to pay their
respects to the king, Frederick wondered that
nothing was said about the cherries so after
giving several hints on the subject he asked
her pointedly, " how she had liked them 2'
What cherries | do not understand"
Then the king told her what he had done
and he could not help laughing, when she
said she seen neither the page note, or cherries
But such fault must be punished. So a
few Us after, he handed the page seal
ed note, and requested him to hand it to a
certain adjutant
The guilty are always suspicious and the
page, who bad observed on New Years day
the king and queen talking seriously, then
laughing together, feared his guilt was dis
covered and as he carried the note, he fear
ed he should be unable to escape the merited
punishment Seeing misery old money!

and whom he knew was no tavorite, he offer

and handed the adjutant the note, who, break

A short time since at wedding in South
Carolina, young lawyer moved that one
man in the company should be selected as
President; that this President should be duly
sworn to keep entirely secret all the commu-
nications that should be forwarded to him in
his official department that night that each
unmarried gentleman and lady should write
his or her name on piece of paper, and un-
der it place the name of the person they
wished to marry, then hand it TO the Presi-
dent for inspection, and if any gentleman and
lady had reeiprocally chosen each other the
President was to inform each Of the result.
and those who had not been reciprocal in
their choice were to be kept entirely secret.
After the appointment of the President, COM

is not life. To eat, and drink, and sleep
to be exposed to darkness and the light to
pace around in the mill Of habit, and turn the
wheel of wealth to make reason our book

of trade-this is not life. In all this but a
poor fraction of the consciousness of humani-
ty is awakened, and the sanctities still slum-
Der which make il most worth while to live.

the future near the doubt which makes us
mediate the death that startles us with

beautiful than Sterne's celebrated figure of
the accusing spirit and recording angel
"Eyery man." said the deryish, " has two
angels, one on his right shoulder aud one on
his left When he does anything good, the
angel on the right shoulder writes it down
and seals it, because what has been well done
is done forever. When he does evil, the
angel on the left writes it down, and he waits
till midnight If before that time the man
bows his head and exclaims, Gracious Al
