Softly falls the ieecy snow,
DER bleak hills the cold winds blow,
Yet with curtains closely drawn,
We heed not the pelting storms;
Gather'd round the blazing hearth,
No loud laugh or noisy mirth,
Disturbs the winds low signing,
Or our hearts sad replying;
As it tells Of flowers dead,
And fond hopes forever fed,
OF sweet voices hush'd and still
And tender eyes clos'd and chill
AL that made our hearts once glow,
Lying now beneath the snow.
But calm aud patiently we walt
The Op'ning of the "Peariy Gate"
AS it hangs amid life's, clouds and mist
In the dim distance, yet oft kist'd
BY the dancing light Of hopes beams,
That still above the storm-cioud CLEANS;
Where loving ones will calmly wait,
To guide US through that heavenly gate;
And sorIows from our souls shall glide,
AS snow melts ON the mountain side;
Still, still our tears must often flow,
For those who lie beneath the snow.
Yet oft we dream how blest twill be,
When from the cares Of life set fee,
Well calmly sink to our last rest,
AS snow. fakes on the meadows breast,
And we try to be still and know
There's wisdom in each flake OF snow,
And lingering, wait with trusting hearts
Till the chill snow Of life departs,
And bitter tears no more shall flow
For those that sleep beneath the snow.

a Remarkable preservation.

''Do you see this lock of hair?"
said an old man to me.
eyes, but what of 1t? 1t Is, sup
pose, the curl from the head of dear
child long since gone to God"
sit is not. 1t is lock of my own
hair, and il is now nearly seventy
years since it was cut from this
head"
"But why do you prize a lock Of
your own hair so much?"
1T has a story belonging to 1t and
a strange one. l keep it thus with
care because it speaks to me more of
God and of his special care, than
anything else L possess.
II was a little child four years old,
with long curly locks which in sun
or rain or wind hung down my
cheeks uncovered.
zone day my father went into the
woods to cut up a log, and l went
with him. | was standing away be-
hind him, or rather at the side,
watching with interest the strokes
of the heavy axe, as it went up and
came down upon the wood sending
off the splinters in all directions
Some of the splinters fell at his feet
and eagerly stopped to pick them
up. In doing so stumbled forw ard,
and in moment my curly head lay
upon the log. 1 had fallen just the
moment when the axe was coming
down with all its force. 1t was too
late to stop the blow. Down came
the axe. | screamed, and my father
tell to the ground in terror. He
could not STAY the stroke; and in the
blindness which the sudden horror
caused, he thought he had killed his
boy.
awe soon recovered; l from my
fright and he from his terror. He
caught me in his arms and he looked
at me from head to foot, to find out
the deadly wound which he was sure
he had inflicted. Not a drop of
blood, not scar could be seen. He
kuelt upon the grass, and gave thanks
to a gracious God. Having done so,
he took up his axe and found a few
hairs upon its edge. He turned to
the log he had been splitting, and
there was a single curl of his boys
hair, sharply cut through and laid
upon the wood. How great was the
escape! 1t was as if an angel had
turned aside the edge at the moment
when it was descending upon my
head. with renewed thanks upon
his lips, he took up the curl and
went home withme in his arms.
That lock he kept all his days as
memorial of Gods care and love-
That lock he left to me on his death
bed"

A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN.
A scene at saratoga.

Cor. y. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
One OF tie sweetest, pretiiest in
cideuts of our watering-place life is
enacted daily at the Clarendon
While the thOughtless watering
place thrOng sway in and out of the
great dining and the endless
Gathering tongues and cutlery seem
70 drown every holy thought, a ven
cradle silver-haired old gentleman
walks slowly in at the head of his
Christian family, and takes his seat
at the head of the table. Instantly
the laughing faces of table full Of
diners assume a reverentiaI look
The knives and forks rest silently on
the table, and the beautiful, silver
frosted Christian, with clasped
hands, mOdestly murmurs prayer
of thanks sweet benediction to
God! The scene lasts but moment,
but all day long that hallowed prayer
of the Christ-child seems TO float in
the air, guiding, protecting and con-
secrating the thoughtless army OF
the WayWard souls. Icould not find
out who this brave old Christian
was; but last night his name came
all at once. Il lovely woman, with
her beautiful children, arose early
from her seat at the Congress hail
hop, to return to the Clarendon.
"Why do you 90 50 early, Mrs.

leaned forward and whispered:
..Well, my dear, you know L stop

and he does pray so beautifully every
night that l kneel down by his door
with the children TO hear him, and
then / 90 TO bed so happy, for ! know
nothing can happen to us when we
are so near him."
Wiping tear from her eye, the
friend said: "Let me go with your

their children, walked to the CIaren-

The Clerks story.

When l used to tend store at SYRIA
cuse, the old man came around one
day, and says he, "Boys, the one that
sells the most between now and
Christmas gets a vest pattern pres
emit" May be we didn't work for
that vest pattern! / tell you some
tall stories were told in praise Of
goods Just about that time; but the
tallest talker, and the one that had
the most cheek of any Of US
was a certain Jonah Squires, who
roomed with me. He could take a
dollar out of n mans pocket when
he only intended to spend sixpence;
and the women, Lord bless you, they
just handed out their pocket-bOoks
to him and Let him lay out what he
liked for them. One night Jonah
walked me up with, "By Jove, old
fellow. if you think that ere's cot
ton in it I'll bring down the sheep
that it was cut from and make him
own his own wool. 'TwOH't wear
out either; / wore q pair of pants
of that stuff for five years, aud they
are as good now as when first put
them on. Take il at thirty cents,
and say YOU don't owe me anything.
Eth, too dear? Well call it twenty
eight cents. What dye say? Shall
tear it? All right, it's a bargain"
We could feel Jonah's hand play
ing about the bed-clothcs for an in
slant, then rip, tear went something
or other, and L hid my head under
the blankets, perfectly convulsed
with laughter, and sure that Jonah
had torn the best sheet from top to
bottom. When L awoke the next
morning, l found that the back of
my night-shirt was split from tail
to collar band.

Three wive. in T.venty Days.

Wonders mover cease, and the &C.
centric doings of individuals keep
pace with the progressive strides of
civilization. Society suffers much
from these strange persons, and its
conventionalities, however whimsi-
cal or even truly founded on moral
grounds, are Oftentimes disregarded
and its injunctious disobey ed. Men
are strange, nowadays, as i'm the
past, and some have, among other
desires, a tendency 20 marry as often
as possible, irrespective of its con-
sistency with the propriety of cir
cumstances and feeling or even hon
or. Such a person resided near
White Bluff, Dickson county. This
mans name is Leathridgc, and his
fondness for matrimonial connec-
tions, cannot be well explained.
Not mouth ago he married u Ia
dy living in that neighbOrhoOd,
whose position in society was good
and most respectable. Five days
after their marriage his wife was
corpse, having fallen u victim TO that
terrible scurge smallpox. Three or
four days were all the time desired
by the bereaved husband in which
to mourn for the lost of his heart.
Five days after the death Of his wife
Mr.. Leathridge married her sister.
Not long was he allowed to share
the Joys of his second and speedy
marriage, for the hand of destiny
again sent its death angel TO this
man ofstrangeness, and within eight
days the bride was cold in earth's
embrace, for like her sister, she was
attacked with small poX and quick
lY hurried from earth-from among
the scenes of new made love to
another land. While this might
have been a heavy blow to the feel
ings of others, it only served to
nerve the twice lonely made heart of
Leathridge for something still worse
in the matrimonial line. After try
ing in vain to find some maid to
share his widowed affections imme-
diately, he had almost concluded to
give up in dispair. This feeling,
however, gave way to "hOpe eter-
nal in yonder sphere sublime" for
within five days he had met with
another mans wife and tried his
persuasive powers to induce her to
prove false to her marriage VOWS.
After two days he succeeded, and at
the end of that time they eloped for
parts unknown. What a sad COM
ment upon the civilization and NOR
al influences, by good and religious,
to exist in the society of the pres
ent age. What fearfully true pic
ture of depravity is this, made more
glaring in its moral deformity by
the contrast of its social position in
a county noted for the virtues of its
citizens Union and american.
How is that for hirh2
