perilous undertaking. Noiselessly she made
her way to the tree, and accomplished her
purpose. There was no time TO delay, yet
one instant the mother turned to look upon
her child, yearning to clasp it to her bosom,
but not daring to lift the cloth which con-
cealed its features, and assure herself wheth
er or not it lived A little while before, she
would have given worlds to be able to do
this, but now she felt that to behold it wrap
ped in the slumber of death would unnerve
her arm, and render her unfit for the fur
ther prosecution of her trying task. With
a frnness that would have done honor to a
stole, conquered the promptings of natural
love and hastened away. With step as
nolseess as the falling Cew, she glided to-
wards the slumbering savages; as she drew
near, her frame trembled so violently she
could scarcely support herself and when
she put forth her hand to take the knife, the
beating of her heart was so audible, she fear
ed it would awake the sleepers, and she pres
sed her hand convulsively upon it to still its
tumultuOus throbbngs. One terrible in
slant she thought the eyes of the Indian
opened, glared upon her with fierce and
malignant expression; but this was mere
fancy for he still slept, and the next moment
she was gliding away with the knife firmly
grasped in her hand. With few rapid
strokes she liberated her husband, and then
bent down and uncovered the child.
To her unspeakable JOY she found it in a
slumber as sweet and peaceful as though it
had been hushed to rest upOn its mother
bosom. With prayer of gratitude upon
her lips, she lifted it from its resting place,
turned to her companion, and motioned the
way to their home. With rapid and noise
less steps they hurried away, speeding on
ward with tremulous yet hopeful hearts.
Not a moment did thc fond mother spare to
caress her infaut-not word did she utter
to greet her husband The spell of new
found uncertain happiness had settled upon
her spirit, and she feared to break its thrill
ling charm. For a time they travelled thus
in silence and darkness moving as near as
they could judge in the direction OF their
home, and anxious to be farther, still farther
away from their enemies. At length weari-
ness compelled them to rest awhile, and as
the dawning day began to shed a trembling
light abroad, they erept into thlcket and
sought repose.
The beams of the rising sun lighted the
wanderers on their homeward pathway ; and
when that sun was sinking to repose, its
parting rays fell calmly over the woodman's
home, revealing a scene of bliss such as sell
dom visits the abode of man. How radiant
with greatful joy was the face of the fond
mother, as she clasped her recovered treas
ure closer to her bosom how full of admi>
ring love was the eye of the rescued hus-
band, as it rested upon its fair preserver-;
and oh how warm and fervent was the pray
er, breathed in that hour of safety bearing
up to heaven the deep devotion of thankful
happy hearts.

SOCIETY OF WoMEN.-There is no socie
ety In the world more profitable, because
none more refining and promotiVeof of virtue,
than that of refined and sensible women.
The beauty of woman is made to win, her
gentle voice to invite, the desire of her ia
vor to persuade mems sterner souls from
strife to peace We honor chivalrous de-
ference paid to woman. 1t evinces not only
respect to virtue, and desire after pure af-
lection, but that our women are worthy of
such respect. But women were not made
merely to win men to society. To be com
panions, they should be fitted to be friends;
to rule hearts, they should secure the ap,
probation of minds And man dishonors
them, as well as disgrace himself, when be
seeks their circle for idle pastime, and not
for the improvement of his mind and the
elevation of his heart.

Grass in his Liquor.

a tavern-keeper in Pennsylvania, whose
sign swung and croaked at the foot of Laurel
Hill, " once received a call from a guest from
Virginia, and said guest called for mint
julep'' to slake his thirst. -,
what is mint 'ulep?' inquired the
landlord.
"A mint-iulep is a iulep with mint in it, -
replied the FIrginian.
''Will you make one yourself? Here are
the liquors, the sugar, the spices, but l
hayn't any mint.
Il will make two, enc for each of US, if
| can find the mint"
In a few moments the guest returned
from field where he found some mint and
he made the coveted beverage
The tempting doses were repeated over
and over again, and the delighted landlord
was grateful for the lesson he had received
in mixing liquors and making julepS The
Virginian left the next day and directed
his steps homeWard. Six months
afterward, he had a business call in the
neighborbood of Laurel Hill, and meet
ing boy in theroad, he inquired the where
abouts of his old friend, the landlord.
He has gone, said the boy.
where has he gone said the stranger.
He has, gone up, " replied the boy.
''What do you mean p
Am you the man who put grass into
father liquors, some time ago z?
Yes, taught your father how to make
mint juleps
''Well, the old man got to be very fond
of drinks with grass in them, and kept on
taking them from early in the morning un-
til late at night and he never stopped until
he went under.
What do you mean?'
Il mean that he kept on taking grass in
his liquor until he died.
Did he die drinking mint-juleps p
''fes, he died three months ago; he took
too much grass in his liquor

FALSE ECONOMY. About this time, !"
as the almauacs say, look out for talk OF
economy. This Is WE'LL for there never
was time when there was more need for
the practice of that virtue, or when that
virtue was more a necessity. lines are
hard and business dull, but in retrench
ment, don't begin at the wrong end. Let
your family newspaper be among the last
things touched. You can spare many mat
tiers of household use far better than you
can spare your paper 1t tells You of all
that is going on in the world around you ::
it instructs you in morals and religion; 1t
interests you IN your leisure hours; Its
timely information saves you many dollars,
and enables you TO earn as many more 1t
assists your wife in her household duties,
you in your farm, or shop, or store; 1t makes
you intelligent among your neighbors; 1t
has its word of encouragement, OF aid, of
fitness for every condition of life. it is a
member of your family, and the most mex
pensive one, and pays its way thousand
times over Look well about you before
you begrudge the one cent a day that your
paper costs; retrench on your table, your
clothes, your adornments, your horses, dogs,
tobacco, etc., etc, before you give up your
paper. And yet, this is the spot where
many begin to economic - they deprive
themselves and their family of what they
can spare the least. IF any one doubts this,
let him take a single number of the family
paper and examine it in all its departments,
see what it contains, and then think whether
for the few cents it costs, he can afford to
dispense with it. Many a paper, indeed,
almost every paper has some single para
graph which is practically worth the sub
scription price for several years. Watch
man and Reflector.

DAY AND NIGHT.

Day" cried the Earth, AWAKE AWAKE -
And with rulers power
Summoned its legions to their tasks,
In city, vale and bower.
She bade the weary traveller rise,
And onward wend his way,
And raised the savage hunters bow
Against the flying prey.
She warned the merchant to bis desk,
The student to his tome,
The sailor to his toll and strife
Against the salt seas foam,
She called the farmer to his plough,
Amid the furrowed glade,
The whisker'd soldier from his tent
Forth to his siaughter-trade
The seamstress to her needle turn'd,
The sad. brow'd laborer bent,
And downward to his cavern dark
The mournful miner went
The old man leaning his staff
A quickening mandate feels
And from its cradle soft and warm,
The tottsrisg infant steals.
Night speaks to Day-sYour tasks are heard
You've wearied all the race;
I'll fold them in my pitying arms
For downy Sleeps embrace
Of care, smooth the wrinkling trace
That you deep have made,
Take from the statesmans breast its load,
From Labor's hand the spade.
OF Grief, sOothe the gushing tear,
OF meagre Want the sigh
And draw healing curtain Ger
Vexed brain, and bloodshot eye.

And thus the holy Night began

An old bachelor editor thus, in his spite,
comments on recent moonlight incident:
I'VE left our sanctum at midnight, last

They were evidently indignant at being out
so late, and we saw them bite each other
several times"
