WoMAH.-Those disasters which
break down the spirit Of q man, and
PROSTATE him in the dust, seem 20
call forth all the energies Of the sot-
ter sex, and give such intrepid ele-
vation to their character, that at
times It approaches to sublimlty.-
Nothing can be more touching than
to behold a soft and tender female,
who had been all weakness and ue-
pendence, and alive TO every trivial
roughness, while treading the pros
perous path Of life, suddenly rising
In mental force to be the comforter
and supporter of her husband under
misfortune, and abiding, with un-
Shrinking frmness, the bitterest
blasts of adversely. AS the vine
which has long twined its graceful
foliage about the oak, and been Int
ed by it in sunshine, will, when the
hardy plant is rifted by the thun-
derbolt, cling round II with It's ca
ressing tendrils, and bound up Its
shattered boughs; so is IL beauuful-
" ordered by Providence that Wo-
man, who is the mere dependent
and ornament Of man in his happier
hours, should be his stay and solace
when smitten with sudden calami-
ty; winding herself in the rugged
recesses of his nature, tenderly sup
porting his dropping head, ana
binding up the broken heart

to speak further, he seated himself
and covered his face with his hands.
Chances of surprise and pleasure
were cast from one to another among
the Brethren of Hiram Lodge. No
one spoke, however, but all eyes
turned upon the Master, Nr. Tur-
ner- For a moment he seemed re-
fiecting, then taking q slip Of paper
from the secretary he wrote:
Mrs. Turaer.-Do not allow Eva
to retire until ] return home tell
Ter l am going to bring a strange
gentleman who wishes to see her"
And calling the Jun. Deacon, Mr..
Turner gave him the note, saying IN
low Yoice, stake this note to Mrs.
Turner Immediately"
"Hhy, Eva" said Mrs. Turner,
when she had read the message,
''you are going to have company.
A strange gentleman is at the lodge
room who wishes to see you"
"Who can it be? 2"
Eva looked perplexed and thought
ful, suddenly her cheeks flushed, her
eyes lighted, and clapping her little
hands, she sprang to her feet and ex-
claimed, "Oh, it must be papai no
one else would wish to see me; no
one in the world" and before Mrs.
Turner comprehended the ehild's
Interpretation, she had passed the
threshold and was fitting through
| the moonlight toward the lodge
room. The Tyler looked amazed
when Eva burst into the ante-room,
her cheeks burning, her eyes fash
| ing with Joy and excitement.
EDo not stop me; l am going ln!'
she exclaimed. But the inner door
was fastened, and the impatient Eva
nearly cried with Vexation.
f'Wait moment" SAID the Tyler,
who having heard nothing Of what
l had transpired within, was at a loss
TO account for the strange conduct
of the child; "wait a moment, and
l win send your request to Mr.. Tur-
ner. He win come out and see you"
l shall not wait. / do not want
to see Mr.. Turner, want to see my
papa"
"The child is crazy, that is evil
dent" said the perplexed deacon to
himself; but calling out the deacon
he bade him say that Eva was there
and had determined to get into the
lodge room.
| line deacon went 10 IQ0 Ed5IJ AuU
delivered his message in q low tOnc,
aud a moment afterward moved
"that the craft be called from labor
to refreshment."
'CNow," said Mr.. Turner, "tell the
Tyler to let her come in"
And Eva did come, or rather
bounded into the hall, more beauti-
ful in her excitement than ever be-
fore. She advanced to the centre OF
the room and stood beside the altar;
. half poised upon the tiny foot she
scanned rapidly the faces of all
Her eager eyes soon detected the
strangers, who were seated behind
the rest, and for a moment she
seemed irresolute, then darting for
ward with glad cry she threw heI
arms about the neck of Mr.. Durani
crying, "Oh, papa, my dear papa
YOU have come home at last! You
were not burned in the ship?"
We VIII not attempt to paint the
scene further, but win leave ouI
readers to imagine the joy Of th'
fond father, and also leave them tt
. decide whether the tears that we
the cheeks of the Brethren of Hiram
Lodge were caused by sympath!
with the happiness of their httl
charge, or grief that they shoul'
lose one whom they all loved.

Every cloud has a silver Lining.

1t is we'll known to every one how
often the brilliant rays of the sun
are intercepted as they are passing
on their course of cheering gladness
10 our world. Dark clouds inter-
yene and lessen the gladdening beau
ty of his light. Yet no one suspects
that the sun shines less brightly be-
vond the intervening mist than he
did before. And all recognize the
benefits for animate nature born IN
the bosom of the clouds.
But there is q class of clouds
which frequently cast dark and
gloomy shadow on the soul even of
| the Christian. Yet it is a consoling
truth that every cloud which spreads
/ its misty wing over the Christians
heart, has also ga silver linging."
True. the trials and troubles of the
| Christian are often real rather than
imaginary, but it is equally true,
and gloriously true, that behind the
threatening clouds beams the loving
face of " our Father" Often does
the child of God forget in the day of
his affliction, that all things work
together for good to them that love
God"
Christian, has death taken some
one near and dear to you from your
midst? If SO, it should be your con-
ISOLATION to remember God your Fa-
ther has so ordered. II is not for
YOU to doubt that this cloud, though
dark and impenetrable to human
. gaze, has a silver lining. Call tC
mind Jacob, and imagine how black
the clouds must have been to him
when his sons would take Benjamin
TO Egypt. He said, call these things
; are against me-" But in the enc
how abundantly were call these
things for his good?" Are you af
, fiicted in any way? 1t should be {
: balm to your pain, and a relief FOL
! | YOUR trouble, that God does no
! willingly afflict those who love Him
!. He, as a Father, is chastising yoI
: for your own good. "As one whom
his mother comforts, SO (says He
. will l comfort YOU" The mothe
disregards none of her offspring
. but she afranges things with pc
culiar view to her poor, weak, sick
. ly infant. The knee, the bosom, tn
: delicacy, the softest bed, the breath
:, less movement is for him. SO ha
= = it been, as Scripture and experienc
4 have testified in all ages, wit
!, Christians; as their sufferings hav
L abounded, their consultations hav
abounded also.
"Bastards may escape the rod,
.e sunk in earthly, vain delight;
is But true-born child Of God
Must NOT, would not, If he could"
l. The history of the past exempt
q fies the truth of the Scripture
T. s.Whomsoever He loveth, him d
t, also chasteneth." How true was
v with John, and yet was not the daI
d cloud that hung over him gloriousl
ID silvered? Was it not striking
s. true also in the case of Lazarus
N And in this example we were pc
IN mitted to see the silver lining Of Il
r. cloud which brooded over Lazaru
to as we see him borne to Abraham
Id bosom. Oh, Christian, how CT

The Marriage Alter.

| have drawn for you many pic
lures of death; let me sketch for you
a brief, but bright scene of beauti-
full life. 1t is the marriage alter; a
lovely female, clothed in all the
freshness of youth and surprising
beauty, leans upon the arm of him
to whom she had just given herself

gloomy pbi4osphers, and tell me if
YOU dare, that there is no happiness
on earth. See the trusting, heroic
devotion, which impels her to leave
country and parents, for a compare
tive stranger. She has launched her
frail barque upon a wide and stormy
sea;ehe has handed over her happi-
ness and doom for this world to an
others keeping; she has has done it
fearlessly, for love whispers to her
that her chosen guardian and protec-
tor bears a manly and noble heart.
We have all read OF the husband
who, in a moment OF hasty wrath,
said to her who but a few months
before united her faith to his-'lf

duct, go, return to your friends and

The six years that followed the
death of his wife and the loss of his
| child passed wearily to James Du-
rant. He visited nearly every coun-
try in the Old World, seeking among
| scenes of natural beauty and gran
deur as well as of historic interest,
| for the mental rest which could new
er be found. Once more he turned
his steps toward America, and
sought his Masonic friend Wads-
worth. Finding that gentleman
about setting out with his family on
a Journey to the Atlantic coast, Mr..
Durant accepted the invitation to
accompany them to Saratoga and
Niagara, then to New York, where
