What is SANDER.

'Tis an assassin at the midnight hour urged
on by envy, that, with footsteps soft steals on
the slumber of sweet innocence, and with the
dark drawn dagger Of the mind, drinks deep
the crimson current of the heart. 1t is a
worm that crawls on beauty's checks, like
the vile viper in a vale of flowers. and riots
in ambrosial blossoms there. 1t is coward
in coat of mail, that wages war against
the brave and wise, and like the long, lean
lizard that will mar the lions sleep, it wounds
the noblest breast Oft have seen this dc
mon of the soul, this murderer of sleep with
visage smooth, and countcnance serene as
heavens own sky; but storms were raving
in the world Of thought; oft have I seen a
smile upon its brow; but like the lightning
from stormy cloud, it shocked the soul and
disappeared in darkness. Oft have seen
it weep at tales Of woe, and sigh as twerc the
heart would break with anguish; but like the
drop that drips from Javas tree. and the fell
blast that sweeps Arabian sands, it withc..-d
every aoweret Of the vale. | saw % tread
upon q lilly fair, a maid of whom the world
could say no harm; and WHEN she sunk be
meath the mortal wound it broke into the
sacred sepulchre, aud dragged its victim from
the hallowed grave for public eyes to gaze
on it hath wept, that from earth its victim
passed away ere it had taken vengeance on
it. Yea, have seen this cursed child of envy
breathe midew on the sacred fame of him
who once had been the country's benefactor
and on the sepulchre of his repose,- believed
with many tributary tear, dance in the
moonlight of summers sky, with a savage
satisfaction --l.i Ton Baird, ado

don't like to interrupt narrative at
point so critical, but after consulting the
best models, in the Ledger and Weekly, I
am driven to admit that the artistic mode of
publishing story is to get the readers curl
csity excited to the highest pitch. and then
suddenly kick the next chapter from under
them, and let them hang by the rope of an
ticipation until the next issue brings them
reprieve. That's the style in the Ledger and
other dispensers of classic fiction They get
their readers excited-sort of tarantuIa bit
ten-and then they are bound to have the
next number to see what bit then. The
Ledger readers all have a sort of hungry.
hankering expression, which they derive from
the habit of looking into next week. ]-BH

THE RIGHT KIND OF REL1atoN-]

THE RIGHT KIND OF RELIGION
Alexander Clark, in his " Gospel Trees, says
Unless your religion changes you from a
mummy to man, makes you honest in bust
ness, pious behind counters, temperate at din
ner tables, loyal to your country, afectionate
to your family, neighborly at the ballot box,
patient in affection, humble, cheerful and
hopeful everywhere and always unless it
links you in brotherhood to the poorest of
Gods children, unless it leads you on errands
OF mercy to novels and hospitals and prisons,
as we'll as to the cushioned pcws and sacra
mental boards, unless you love Christ on
week days, as we'll as worship him on Sabbath
days-then your religion is spurious, hypo
critical and abhorrent-a refuge of lies It's
sounding brass and tinklng synbal, entice
but the giddy hearted and warn the wise te
beware

From the Southern Home, Gen. D. H. Hill
paper, at Charlotte, N. c., we clip the following
beautiful poem.
b. all waters, showing wide
Toi.ing till the even tide;
Painting not for summers heat,
Hating not with weary feet,
"Workng," were our guerden less
Than crown of righteousness.
By our paths of pain and care
Still the Lily blossoms fair,
And the sparrow builds her nest
By our mansions of unrest;
Teaching with the voice that saith
Be YE "faithful' until death.
Visit we Of the seed we SOW
How the tender blade shall grow
How the little germs enfold
The Harvest of hundred fold
And how the sun and summer rain
Awake to life the buried grain?
He who fixed the Planets place
Clothes the Lily with its grace,
Hewho marks the sparrows fall
Hath HIS mercy for US all,
And his tender love declares
That cur lite is more than theirs.
Forth, until the even tide
By all waters sowing wide
He that sows the stars and sees
Thai our souls are more than these,
Shall we falter when he SAITH
"Be ye faithful until death %
