The Brink of the River.

have been to the brink of the river,
The cold, dark river of Death;
And still in the valley | shiver
Where my child yielded up his breath.
Chill, chill was the touch of the billow
AS it closed DER my darling's head,
Then left him asleep on his pillow
My beautiful, beautiful dead!
Oh! dark was the day when the token
Was sent from the palace on high,
That the sweet silver chord must be broken,
And the pitcher all shattered must lie.
Oh! that midnight was starless and dreary
When our child had to fight the last foe
At length, of the conflict aweary,
Love loosed him, and sobbed, "Let him
60"
" Great Father, receive the sweet spirit
That is bursting its letters of clay ~
He slept-he has gone to inherit
The crown and the kingdom of Day.
That smile, like an infants escaping
From danger to mothers own breast,
Told the moment the angels were taking
Our weary one home to his rest.
We pressed to the edge of the river,
And caught but one vanishing CLEAN,
AS he entered the portals forever
That oped the bright city to him.
And still on the borders we linger,
And gaze up the pathway he trod:
We hear not the voice of the singer,
But we know he's at home with his God.
And silently still though wander
Mid wrecks that are left by the tide,
Repeating the fearful surrender
Of the life that with Christ must abide:
hear soft whisper of pardon,
And promise of wiping all tears;
A meeting, beyond the dark Jordan,
To last through Interchangeable years.
And oft in my solitude musing,
Sweet breezes my soul seem to stir.
Such balm and such fragrance diffusing,
AS come from the mountains of myrrh:
The hills, past all sin and all weeping,
Where our lost ones are watching for day,
Soon, soon in Immanuel's safe keeping,
We shall meet-where cen Deaths fled
away.
Green, green are the pastures, though
lowly,
Where the mourners are led by their
Guide;
And the ground wet with tears should be
holy,
Where we, for a while, must abide.
Oh! green be the fruits from such sowing
Of patience, of faith and of love!
Thrice precious this season for growing
More meet for the kingdom above!

"A good story is told of a rather YER
dant agricultural laborer, who, having by
hook and crook scraped together fifty dol
lars, took it to his employer, with request
to take charge of it for him. A year after
the laborer went to another friend to know
what would be the interest on it. He was
told three dollars. SWELL" said he, 81
wish you would lend me three dollars for a
day or two. My boss has been keeping
fifty dollars for me a year, and want to
pay him the interest for it."

A Curious Document.

A Paris journalist passing his vacation
at the Faux EVANS found in lot of old
papers which he purchased, the following
document, on parchment, and bearing the

repairs in the Abbey Church, made charge
OF 70 1orins 10 sous, Brabandt money
The abbot, thinking the demand too high,
called for detailed bill, which was fur

Good Rules to Remember.

Loose ideas on the subject of business will
not answer. 1t must be reduced to something
OF u science. To embark ia business without
this preparatory knowledge, is to set sail with
out a chart and without an acquaintance with
Observation-Disclosures that insure ship
wreck.
BE neither lavish nor niggardly; of the two.
avoid the latter. \ mean man is universally
despised, but public fame is IL stepping stone
to PTeteTment, therefore, generous feelings
should be cultivated.
Remember that self interest Is more likely
TO warp your judgement than all other cir
cumsiaHces cUmbIued; therefore look we'll TO
your duty when your interest is concerned.
lhe world estimates meu by their success
IN lie, aud general consent is evidence Of SUI
PeriorI'y of u certain kind
Never, under any circumstances. assume n
responsibility you can avoid consistently with
your duty to yourself aud others.
Base all your actions upon n principle of
right, preserve your integrity Of character, aud
doing this, never reckon the cost.
Let your expenses be such as to leave bal
ance in your pocket. Ready money is friend
in need.
Wine drinking and smoking are bad habits.
They impair the mind aud pocket and lead TO
a waste of time.
Education pays an annual income for life
without expenses for insurance, repairs or
taxes.
Never relate your mision,unes. and never
Grleve over what you cannot prevent.
Never make money ut the'cxpcuse of your
reputation.

There is o1 exhibition in this citv a mo,t
remarkable freak of nature. To those Who
delight III ecceniTicities of this character tb,,

twreo years since in tie wilds of Afrie,
would be exceedingly interesting, When
seven years ago he was captured ia COMPANY
With boa constructor, which is supposed 10
have charmed the young specimen Of tho
genus homo from the parental hearthstone.-
There Is a remarkable likeness between tho
boy aud the snake ia respect Of color. each
bearing the same flesh marks aud the aHec-
ton which made them companions in their M.
tive Jun"les continues TO this time By their
Keeper they are said to be inseparable. The
alternate nut-brOwn aud cream spots which
mark the one are identical in the other. The
larynx IN the boy, as in the snake is wanting.
and cUscGuenily each is dumb as an oyster
at least they remain to this day as reticent OF
their origin as the most polite President in the
United States could wish
The DInc-StTUke of our evening town clocLs
consIgus them to the same couch, and, winding
their young and tender forms about each other.
they go TO sleep TO dream OF mother and home.
Tar from the land in which their young infancy
was rocked.
The boy is as impartial compromise be-
tween the pure Caucasian aud the genuine
African as a Congressional Te reconstruction com.
mitiee could wish, and the sngulari,y Of his
appearance increased the interest excited by
his mysterious origin and the outer Of his
social affiuiIies.

SHAD.-The ScottsviIIe Register ssys:-
The shad lives but single year. 1, is
ha'ched in the early summer-deScends the
stream as soon as large enougIl-ieeds and
tattens in the winter At the mouth of the
stream sscend+ in the spring to depo i, IL.
sPaWn-descends to die At the bottom ,F the

Our contemporary is mistaken in his facts
The male shad does not become fecund until
It Is one year old, and the female does no,
carry spawn until the age OF Two. when
two years old both sexes are fecund and seek
the river together. These are half grown. or
two year Olds. The third season tbey are
large fish, and may be termed three year oIds."
See Norris on American Fish Culture. p IG2
The same author on p. 163 says: The im-
preston that prevails among f.hermeD. both
here and in Europe. that shad die after spawn
ing. the first year. comes only from the familiar
fast that fshes are in a meagTe condition after
Spawning. and that some of the weaker prob
ably do die, aud are seen floating"
