time calling out;
"Return, Jonathan! Return, Jona-
than!"
To him they were the sweetest words
that ever fell upon mortal ears. He re-
turned, and the day was speedily fixed
for the celebration Of their nuptials. The
first child born to them was son, and
the happy father, in commemoration Of
the blissful words which had biddcn him
into his earthly heaven, had him baptised
and christened Return Jonathan" And
the child thus curiously named grew up
into an important manhood. Among
the officers of the American revolution
he was one of the best and bravest, and
for his brilliant exploit against the Brit
ish at Sag Harbor he received the thanks
of Congress and asword. He was warm

Agent 10 the Cherckces, smorg which

Home. Wife and Saturday Might.

Happy is the man who has a little
home and little angel in it of Satur-
day night. A house, no matter how
humlly furnished, provided there is hope
in it; let the winds blow; close the cur
tains. What if they are plain calico,
without border, tassel, or any such thing?
Let the rain come down; heap upthe fire.
No matter if you haven't a candle to
bless yourself with, for what a beautiful
light glowing Goals make, rendering
cloudless, shedding sunset through the
room; just light enough to talk by, not
loud as in the highways; not rapid, as in.
the hurrying world; but softly, slowly,
whisperingly, with pauses between for the
storm without and the thoughts within
TO Gil up with. Then wheel the sofa
round by the fire; no matter if the sofa
is settee, uneushioned at that, if so be
it is longenough for two and a half in it.
How sweetly the music of silver bells
from time TO come falls on the listening
heart then. How mournfully swell the
chimes of 1.-THE days that are no more"
Under such circumstances and at such
time, one can get a; least sixty-nine and
a half miles nearer Kingdom come" than
any other point in this world laid down
in the Malte Brun.' Maybe you may smile
at this picture; but there is a secret be-
tween us, viz; it is copy of picture
rudely done but true as the Pentateuch
Of an original in every human heart. =
