head as little Ella did, when, a mo-
ment later, she was ushercd into
where Ben was lying.
But she did, and he, great, awk-
ward fellow that he was,
actually cried as she sat there and
told him of his mother, who was un-
able to come when they read the
news, and of poor, dear Charlie,
sleeping so quietly in the church
yard at home.
With her to nurse him, he was
soon able to travel, and not many
weeks later found them again at
home.
But it was long before he was
again the same great, stI ong-breast- L
Cd fellow that he had once been.
But both health and spirits seem
ed to come back to him more rapid
ly, after a certain day in the early
spring, when he and Ella had gone
to see Charley's grave, and, sitting
there by his head-stone, she had told
all about the poor fellows death, and
of his little sweetheart away down
in the sunny South" and Of the
message he had left for her, TO be
sent with his picture.
All this she told him sitting there
by the little green mound-and more

hands within his own, and, looking
again into the misty depths of the
violet eyes, asked her if she could
love suc'. a great, olsi, aWkWard OeaI
as he was, She told him yes.
And gathering the weeping form
to his heart, he felt that he was IN
deed very rich in the legacy which
his friend had left him. = Cincinnati

HOPE ON.

HSpe on, tired heart, hope on!
Though dark thy lot,
Not one bright spot
To cheer thy lonely way,
Let not thy courage fail thee;
When doubts and fears assail thee,
Hope on!
Here shines a guiding star above; look up
and find its ray.
Hope on, brave heart, hope on!
Friends may deceive,
And thou may'st grieye
And mourn affections loss.
But do not yet despair, love;
True friends, like pearls, are rare, love:
Hope on!
And through the growing darkness, nobiy,
brayely bear thy cross.
Hope on, true heart, hope on!
Let friends depart,
One faithful heart
Is fixed and constant still.
Then let this one thought cheer thee;
In spirit am near thee;
Hope on!
Thy star is watching DER thee, TO guard
thee from all i'll.
Hope on, sweet heart, hope on!
BY night and day,
For thee pray,
Till all thy toll be past,
These days so dark and drear, love,
Are passing-neyer fear, love;
Hope on!
The star of love prevails DER all; twill
bring thee rest At last.

Marriag &c.

At the present time, when the
marriage relation occupies so much
of the public attention, the follow
ing views of the late Theodore Par
ker on this subject are not without
interest:
''Men and women, and especially
Young people, do not know that II
takes years to marry completely two
hearts, even of the most loving and
weIl-assorted. But nature allows
no sudden change. We slope very
gradually from the cradle 10 the
summit of life. Marriage is gradu-
al, a fraction of US at time. A hap
py gradlnek is a long falling in love.
/ know Young persons think love
belongs only to the brown hair, and
plump, round, crimson cheeks. so
it goes for its beginning, just as Mt
Washington begins at Boston Bay
But the golden marriage is part of
love which the bridal day knows
nothing of. Youth is the tasseI and
silken flower of love, age is the full
corn, ripe and solid in the ear
Beautiful is the morning of love,
with its prophetic crimson, violet,
purple and gold, with its hopes
of davs that are tocomc. Beau
tiful also is the evening Of love,
with its glad remembrances, its
rainbow side turned toward heav-
en- as well as earth. Young
yeopIe marry their opposites in
temper and general character, and
such a marriage is commonly a
good match. They do itinstinctive-
". The young man does not say,
'AIy black eyes require 10 be wed
with blue, and my over vehemenee
requires to be little modified with
somewhat of dulIness and reserve"
When these opposites come togeth-
er to be wed, they do not know 1t;
each thinks the other just like itself
Old people never marry their op-
posites; they marry their similars,
| and from calculation. Each of these
two arrangements is very proper
In their long journey, these two

Keep il 90 Yourself.

You have trouble; your feeling

treat YOU Just right, and things in
general move unpleasanuy.
Well what of it? Keep u toyour-
self. A smoldering fire can be found

Goals are scattered who can pick
them up? Firebrauds when to-

sons foxes, il is difficult % tell
where they will bum.
Bury your sorrow. The place Tor
sad aud disgusting things Is under

proved by pulling of the rag, and
Striking il in every body's face; tic n
up and let il alone; il will get wen
itself sooner than you can cure II.
Charity covereth the multitude OF
Sins. Things thus covered are often
cured without a scar; but when they
are once published and conhded TO
meddling friends there Is no end To
the trouble they may cause.
Keep il 70 yourself. Troubles are
transient, and when a sorrow D

a night Picture.

1t is night now, and here is home.
Gathered under the quiet roof, ell
ders and children lie alike at rest
In the midst of a great peace and
calm, the stars look out from the
heavens. The silence is peopled with
the past; sorrowful remorscs for
sins and shortcomings, memories
of passionate joys and griefs rise out
of their graves, both now alike calm
and sad. Ewes, as l shut mine,
look at me, that have long ceased to
shine. The town and flir landscape
sleep under the starlight, wreathed
in the Autumn mist. Twinkling
among houses, light that keeps
watch, here and there, in what may
be a sick chamber or two. The
clock tolls sweetly in the silent air.
Here is night and rest. An awful
sense of thanks makes the heart
swe and the head bow, as / pass to
my room through the sleeping house
and feel as though hushed bless
ing were upon it.-IhGckeTdy.

BE economical.

Look most to your spending. No
matter what comes in, if more goes
out YOU will always be poor. The
art is not in making money, but IN
keeping it; little expenses, like mice
in a barn, when they are many,
make great waste. Hair by hair,
heads get bald; straw by straw, the
thatch goes OF the cottage; and drop

When YOU mean TO save, begin with
YOUR mouth; many thieves pass
down the red lane. The ale jug Is a
great waste. In all other things
Keep within compass. Never stretch
yoar legs farther than the blankets
will reach, or you win soon be cold
In clothes, choose suitable and last
ino stuff, and not tawdry hneries. -
To be warm is the main thing; new
er mind the looks. A fool may
make money, but it needs a wise
man to spend it. Remember, 1t is
easier to build two chimneys than
to keep one going. If you give all
to back and board, there Is nothing
left for the savings bank. Fare hard
and work hard while you are young,
and Won will have a chance to resi-
when YOU are Old.-COdt and Iron

1t is said that when Mahomet first
declared his system of religion TO

his miraculous power, such as Chris

Mahomet replied that 1T would be

1t Is bad plan TO grease the up
per leather of the shoes for the pur-
pose of keeping soft. 1t rots the
leather, and admits the dampness
more readily. 1t is better 10 make
a varnish thus: Put half a pound of
gum shellac broken up in small pie
ces in q quart bottle or jug, cover il
with alcohol, cork it tight, and put
it on a shelf in a warm place, shake
it well several times a day, then add
a piece of camphor rs large as q
hens egg, shake II well, and in a
few hours shake it again and add
one ounce of lampblack. If the al
cohol is good it will be dissolved in
three days, then shake and use. II
it gets too thick, add alcohol, pour
out two or three teaspOOnsful in a
saucer, and apply it with a small
paint brush. Ii the materials are
all good il will dry in about five
minutes, and viii be removed only
by wearing it of, giving a gloss C.
quai TO patent leather. The advan-
tage of this preparation over Others
is, it does not strike into the leather
and make it hard, but remains on
the surface, and vet excludes the
water almost perfectly. The same
preparation is admirable for har-
ness, and does not soil when touch

AinIcss Education.

Here is a rich mans son, who has
been educated at great expense and
pains, who has graduated from col

He has studied, not with a view of
fitting himself for any vocation in
life. but with the view of being a
gentleman. Soon, his father breaks
down, aud he, when he is about
twenty-five years old, finds that he
is a poor mans son, and dependent
ON his own exertions. He says to
himself, "what shall l do for a liv-
