ASHAMED.


I know woman weak, and old, and poor;
Her hair is gray, here eyes are dimmCd witl
tears; rETfNU Ih.a con
Her lot has been TO work and to endure,
For many long, and dark, and dreary years
Down in an alley gloomy and obscure
Where want abides aud misery has her home,
She lives, shut out from all things good and
pure;
Scarce mas she seen the blue heavens dome.
She never stood IN grasses wet with due,
Nof SAW the flowers OF the early spring
The yellow buttercups and violets blue,
Nor heard the Wild birds in the Woodlands
srrp ''n sig KAwgFp g'UwkTzOoE
She never breathed the sweets beyond compare
That come in June, from swaths Of new
mown hay;
Nor that with fragrance loads the sultry air
Where eroses bioom and1honeysuckleo stray.
No grace or beauty has her sad fife known
No kindly influence has round her been,
Hardships and sorrow has she called her own,
:. Yet has she kept herself aloof from sin
To tbankfess drudgery her days were wed,
And now, when seventy weary winters have
passed
In ceaseless industry, she still must dread
Starvation may o'ertake ut the last,
DNla a.A eIl tA|I. -s.f- a u n
Aud all life's Ills combine her trust to prove;
And yet this woman keeps her faith in God,
And more than that believes that God is love.
And thinking of her humble faith and trust
Who In life's blessings has so little share,
/ bow my forehead to the very dust, -...r
Ashamed, and penitent, and full of prayer.

Boys wanted.

Boys and girls everywhere have their little
wants. Men and women their larger ones.
And the wide world has its great ones that
are hard to satisfy. 1t wants men, but it
wants boys also-honost, noble, manly boys.
Some one has said that the boys the world
wants-and they will make the men the world
wants-should possess ten points which are
thus given
l. Honest 2. Pure. g. Intelligent. a.
Active. 5. Industrious. G. Obedicnt. :.
Steady. s. Obliging. Q. Polite. 10.
Neat. One thousand frst-rate places are
open to one thousand boys who come up to
this standard. Each boy can suit his taste
as to the kind of business he would prefer.
The places are ready in every kind Of occu-
patton. Many of them are already filled by
boys who lack some of the most important
points, bnt they will soon be vacant.
One is in an Office not far from where we
write The lad who has the situation is To-
sing his first point. lie likes to attend the
circus and the theater. This costs more mo-
ney than he can afford, hut somehow he man
ages to be there frequently. His employers
are quietly watching to see how he gets so
much extra spending money; they will soon
discover q leak in the money drawer, detect
the dishonest boy, and his place will soon be
TGdON lOT SUUle one MuO lS HOW BellliS Ieuuy
for it by observing point No. L and being
truthful in all his ways
Some situations will soon be vacant be-
cause the boys have been poisoned by read
ing bad books, such as they would not dare
to show to their fathers, and would be
ashamed to have their mothers see. The i'm
pure thoughts suggested by these books will
lead to vicious acts; the boys will be ruined
and their places must be filled. Who will be
ready for one of these vacancies? Distin-
guished lawyers, useful ministers, skill(ul
physicians, successful merchants, must all
soon leave their places for somebody else to
gill. One by one they are removed by death.
Mind your ten points boys; they will pre-
pare you for stepping into vacancies in the
front rank. Every man who is worthy to
employ boy is looking for you, if you have
the points. DO not fear that you will be
overlooked A young person having these
qualities will shine as plainly as the stars at
night.
We have named ten points that go toward
making up the character of successful boy,
so that they can be easily remembered. You
can imagine one on each finger, and so keep
them in mind; they will be worth more than
diamond rings, and you will then never be
ashamed to show your hand.

LIGHT IN a DARK PLACE.-Let US rejoice
that light is breaking in upon the Democracy.
The n. Y. WORLD advises its party to aban-
don its policy of "nigger' prejudice. The
n. Y. DEMOCRAT compliments negro press
men with whom the editor worked side by
side for years without injury, drinking from
the same tin dipper and washing from the
same basin. The Boston Posi-, leading the
New England Democracy, refers to the cow
nrdly attack upon The printer Douglass in
Washington thus sensiby. There will be
hope for the party when they all surrender
prejudice for principle:
We see no reason, ifa negro be respectable,
we'll behaved and competent why he should
10. be permitted to follow any avocation he
desires, and to serve whosoever wishes TO
employ him. One of the most faithful men
we ever had in our Office was negro, who
lived with rs for twenty-five years, and when
he died we sincerely mourned the loss of a
true friend. We think oil combinations of
the many to oppress the few not only unjust,
but mean and Observation-Disclosures of these
personal rights which are the vital attributes
of republican liberty

CnRIsT1AYiTY, like little child, goes wan
dering all over the world Fearless in its
innocence, it is not abashed before princes
nor conrounded by the the wisdom Of synods!
Before it the bood-stained warrior sheathes
his sword and plucks the laurel from his
brow. The midnight murderer turns from his
purpose, and like the heart smitten deciple,
goes out and weeps bitterly. 1t brings lib
erty to the captive, joy to the mourners, free
dom to the slave, repentance and forgiveness
to the sinner, hope to the faint-hearted and
assurance to the dying.
1t enters the dwellings Of poor men and sits
down with them and their children; it makes
them contented in the midst of poverty, and
leaves behind an everlasting blessing. 1t
walks through great cities, amidst all their
pomp and splendOr, their ignoble pride, and
their unutterable misery, an ennobling, cor
recting and redeeming angel.
1t is alike the beautiful companion OF
childhood, and the agreeable associate of old
age.
1t ennobles the noble, gives wisdom to the
wise, and new grace to the lovely. The pa
triot, the prelate, the poet and the eloquent
man derive their sublime power from its in
fuences.

A MAN FALLS DEAD IN a KENO RooM-A r1T1A.
BLE SPECTACLE.

A MAN FALLS DEAD IN a KENO RooM-A P1T1A.
BLE SPECTACLE.
About half-past nine o'clock last night an
unknown man fell dead in the gambling
house, No. &C, st Charles Street As usual
on Saturday night the house was crowded to
sutIocaton. The young and old, the rich and
poor had gathered in to spend the earnings
of the week. The light of many a brilliant
gas jet flashed over a crowd of men, earnest
and eager in the passionate excitement of
the game. Suddenly q tall, dark looking
man from one of the center tables, rose from
his seat and walking n few steps unsteadly
fell back upon the floor. One convulsive
shudder passed through his body and limbs,
and the man was dead; died from heart dis
ease, or the excitement of gambling. For a
single moment, stiffness like death fell upon
the crowd, and then some one said he had
only tainted, and the game went on. But
life was extinct.
Hes dead! some one cried, and then men
rose hastily from their seats, and left the
room The game was stopped, and little
circle gathered around the dead man on the
floor. The face had grown waxed; ard the
death look had settled darkly around him
1t was foreign looking face-an Italian or
Spaniard-and in life had been handsome,
but now its rigid lineaments wore q sacred
expression, as if the heart had struggled
vainly to live but TO get out Of that bad
place.
Suddenly, all unprepared the man was
hurried into the presence of his Maker, dead
with the gamester's passion fierce in his
heart, with all his evil thoughts and guilt
upon him. The lights were turned low in
the darkened room, and the Coroner's jury
gathered around the nameless dead Below,
in the halls, the rattle of dice, the noise and
strife Of gambling broke sadly on the ear.
What contrastl None seemed to heed the
spectacle above them or take warning by the
awful judgment SO suddenly pronounced.
| The games went on, and the low voices the
jury and witnesses were scarcely heard in the
uproar beneath. Men could not pause in
that eager strife of hazard. What If dead
man lay above? They were hazarding the
earnings that'should be devoted to family's
necessities-the bread, may be, of their chill.
dren. What need they care? The insanity
of gaining ran riot in their veins. The pale
wife's tears, the childrens wall were harder
ar to meet, and yet meet them they must,
for they had put their all upon the hazard oi
the cast.
One can reconcile his feelings TO see death
upon the battle field but death in a gam
bling house seems out Of place. Who cares
for the dead man ? some one will say.
Take the fellow out--go on with the game.
At last the inquest was over, the brilliant
ly lighted halls again resumed the excite
mont of the game; and one entering an houl
afterwards would never suspect that death
had so recently snatched victim from among
them.

The Governor elect of Virginia beginswell.
Ills speech at Richmond was conceived in the
right spirit; and the invitation given to o
colored man to follow him in congratulating
the people on the result Of the election was
well considered. But the Governor has @

CHESTER county furnishes us with the last
sensation item. No matter how sickening,
heartrending, or cruel it may be, we cannot
refrain from placing it before our readers in
all its deformity John Yatta was working
in his stable; he took his vest off and threw
it over STALL his pocket book falling out.
Soon after he went to the house. A calf saw
the pocketbook. Some greenbacks happen
ed to be sticking out Being illiterate, and
consequently not knowing the value Of the
scraps, he stopped down, pulled them out of
it, drew them IN his mouth, and in lieu of
"pig-tail." commenced to work his jaws Wig
orously on them. Some of them happened
TO have molasses on and the calf finding them
palatable made quick work with them, and
so they were in an incredibly short space OF
time within the robbers stomach. When
John returned for his vest, his treasure was
missing. Looking around he detected small
piece Of greenback sticking at the side of the
mouth of Mr.. Calf Suspecting the true
state affairs, he became at once enraged, and,
without stopping to inquire, he with one
blow disposed of his victim. Cutting open
his stomach, three $40 bills were found in a
damaged condition. Moral, don't leave
green backs laying around with calves about.
