POETRY.
RING THE BELL SOFTLY.
By pExrKR SMITH.

Some one has gone from this strange world OF
ours,
No more to gather Its thorns with its flowers;
No more to iinger where sunbeams must fade,
Where, on all beauty, deaths fingers are laid;
Weary with mingling liie's bitter and sweet,
Weary with parting and never to meet,
Some one has gone to the bright, golden shore
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door,
Some one is resting from sorrow and sin,
Happy where earth's conflicts enter not In
JOYOUS as birds, when morning is bright. :.
When the sweet sunbeams brought US their light;
Weary with labor, and welcoming sleep,
No more to sorrow-no more to weep;
Some ones departed to Heavens bright shore;
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door,
Angels we're anxiously longing to meet,
One who walks with them in Heavens bright
street;
Loved ones have whispered that some one is blest-
Free from earth's trials, and taking. sweet rest,
Yes there is one more in angelic bliss
One less to cherish and one less to kiss;
One more departed to Heavens bright shore,
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door'

NV blood shot like melted lava through my
veins, and | covered my eyes to keep out the
sight.
It was-O God how horrible-it was my
own loving Wife and her babe frozen to death
With true mothers love, she bad bowed her
self over the child to shield it, and wrapped all
her clothing around it, leaving her own person
exposed to the storm. She had placed her
hair over the face of the child, and the seet
had frozen 1t to the pale cheek. Tho frost
was white on the lids Of its half-opcned eyes,
and upon its tiny fingers.

boy"
Here the old man bowed his head, and wept;
and all in the house wept with him. Then in
the low tones of heartbroken sorrow be contin'
ed:
al was arrested, and for long motnhs was
raving maniac. When / recovered, l was
sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years
but this was nothing to the tortures | have en-
dured in my own bosom. And now desire
to spend the remnant Of my life in striving to
warn others not to enter a path which has
been so dark and fearful to me-"
When the old man had finished, the temper

the people to come forward and sign it. The
father of the boy referred to, leaped from hi'
seat, and pressed forward to sign the pledge

The Young man wrote, Mortimer Hudson.
The old man looked. He wiped his eyes, ano
looked again. His face flushed with fiery red
and then deathlike palencss came over it.
"Itis-no it cannot be yet how strange J
he muttered. "Pardon me, sir, that is TIN

The young man trembled. and held up hi

Among the novelties Of this season have
been several balloon ascensons by female AERO
nauts. The Utica Herald gives an account OF
singular balloon chase which occurred in the
clouds over Poughkeepsie. A Mr.. Squire and
Miss Thurston-the latter said to be well
educated young lady of nineteen--started to-
gether but in separate balloons. Squire as
cended nearly to the clouds, but seeing that
Miss Thurston was not following him very fast,
descended to give her instructions. Before be
reached the young lady, however, she threw
out the contents Of two sand-bags and shot up
like rocket into the clouds Squire allowed
his balloon to drift under the clouds and in
sight Of the earth until over Hyde Park, when
he threw out ballast and went up through the
clouds into the clear sunlight. He says be
must have assembled nearly half a mile above
the clouds before he caught sight Of Miss Thur
ston's balloon, which was then at least four
miles above the earth, and looked to him no
bigger than a mans hat. In due time both
of the arial voyagers made safe descent.

What Love is to q Woman.

What wonderful thing love is to woman
How it helps her to know that some one Is al
ways fond Of her; that he rejoices when she
reioices. and sorrows when she grieves; to be
sure that her faults are loved, and that her face
is fairer to one at least, than faces that arc far
more beautiful-that one great heart holds her
sacred in its innermost recesses above all wo-
men She can do anything be anything,
suffer anything, thus upheld. She grows pret-
tier under the sweet infuence-brighter, kin
der, stronger-and life seems but foretaste Of
Heaven; and all she secs is beautiful, and all
her dreams are gold.
But when this Is gone-when the sods arc
piled over the true lovers breast--or when her
role has been played in one Of those too fire.
quent tragedies and the curtain has dropped
and the footlights arc out, and it is all over
forever, then God have mercy on the woman,
for life holds nothing more for her.
How weary is her work when no one helps
or praises How desolate her lesurel How
ioyless the things that gave her JOY The
pain that she could bear when some dear voice
praised her patience and pitied her, grows in
supportable; ambition porishcs; fer who shall
care to hear her praises The little innocent
vanity that made the wearing Of pretty things
a pleasure, forsakes her soul when no one
hos
with word or glance. Her heart withers
her life fades she grows old as love-flled
years could not make her grow in a very little
while, for love is all to woman-her hope and
comfort and power. And let those who have
it, thank Heaven, and pray that they may live
no longer than love dwells with them, for all
that cometh after is but Dead Sea fruit-cold,
bitter r-aches at the heart
