The materials and devices Of
tho wedding rings arc scarcely
more various than the explanations
given by learned writer's OF the
Significance Of "tho puro and per-
feet arrabo." That the gift Of n
ring was held by the ancient peo-
pie ofthc earth to be u token of
the giver's affections for tho conf
denco in the person to whom he
gave it, the illustrators prove by
references to sacred scripture and
classic literature. 1t follows, there
fore, that the bridal hoop embel-
ishes the groom's devotion to and
perfect trust in the bride. 1t is
single object, and, therefore, signi-
tios the perfect oneness of two
persona united in wcdlock. 1t
having no ends, the circlet is n
type of the endless and perpetuity
of matrimonial love. 1t denotes
the fidelity with which the man
WEEDS the woman; oven rs the
Episcopal ring tokens tho faith
with which u bishop takes the
church of his spouse.

4 Story for BOYS.

a few years ago a boy who was left
without father or mother, went to New
York alone and friendless, to get situa-
ton in store as errand boy, until he
could command higher position; but
this boy had been in bad company, and
got IN the habit of calling for "bitters"
and cheap cigars.
On looking over the paper he noticed
that merchant on Pearl street wanted a
lad, and he called there and made his bust
ness known.
"Walk into my office" said the mer-
chant; I'm attend to you soon."
When he had waited upon his customer,
he took a seat near the lad and espied ci-
gar in his hand. MY boy" said he, II
want an honest, faithful lad, but see you
smoke cigars, and in my experience of
many years, L have found cigar-smoking
lads to be connected with various evil
habits, and if am not mistaken you are
not an exception. You will not suit me. ="
John hung down his head and left the
store, and as he walked down the street, a
stranger and friendless, the counsels of his
mother came forcibly to his mind, who,
upon her death-bed, called him to her side,
and placing her hand upon his head said f.,
Johnny, am going to leave you now.
You well know what misery your father
brought upon US, and / want you to prom
Use me before 1 die, that you will never

The tears trickled down Johnny's cheeks.
He went to his lodgings, and throwing
himself upon his bed gave vent TO his feel
ings in sobs that were heard all over the
house.
But John had moral courage, and ere an
hour had passed he made up his mind new
er to touch another drop Of liquor nor
smoke a cigar.
be went back to the merchant and said ,
"Sir, you very properly sent me away this
morning for habits / have been guilty Of !;
but L have neither father or mother and
although l have done what ought not to,
L have now made a solemn promise never
to drink another drop Of liquor or smoke

them their chief, little man dressed in a
fur pelisse, stepped forward towards me,
and said:
"'What are you doing here? Why are
you away from your regiment"
ing first to the captain, and then to my
bleeding arm.
"'The man says true, SIRE said one of
those who followed him; Il saw him

cross which decorated his green coat and
gave it to me. At that instant l was no
longer hungry, no longer cold; l felt no
more pain from my arm than if that awk-

"'Davoust' added the Emperor, ad-
dressing the officer who had spoken to him,
see this man and his captain placed in one
of the baggage wagons. Adieu y And
making me motion of the head, he went
away"
Here the veteran ceased and resumed his
pipe.
"But tell US what became of Captain OBJ
stinate," cried many impatient voices.
THE captain recovered, and is now a
general on the retired list. But the best of
the joke was thata as he got well, he put me
under arrest for fifteen days, as q punish
ment for my infraction of discipline.
This circumstance came to the ears of
Napoleon, and after laughing heartily, he
not only caused me to be set free, but pro-
NOTED meto the rank of sergeant. AS to
the decoration, my children, here is the
ribbon at my buttOnhole, but the cross l
wear next to my heart"
And opening his vest, he showed his
eager audience the precious relic, suspend
ed from his neck in little satin bag.

every day fills the Morgue with the bod
les of suicides. And where, where will
this end? They are on the verge of anoth-
er revolution, on account of poverty and
debt. 1t may be bloodless one, but If it
is It will not be the fault of the Paris mob.
You remember that after i had seen the
battlefield of Waterloo, and the wonder
fully strong position of Wellington there,

more respect for French valor. Well,
French valor may be all right, but French
discipline is miserably poor. Their best

and he looks so helpless you are sorry for
him. You see them relieve guard-they
handle a gun about as q woman would
handle broom. There is no snap in their
walk, in their march, in their manual of
arms, no promptness to execute, no decis-
ion of movement, and unless their officers
put the men to work and infuse discipline
into the ranks they are very long way
off from repaying the other debt they owe
Prussia, or any othey nation. The truth
is, except the Prussians, there seem to me
to be very poor soldiers on the continent
compared to our soldiers. The Shah at no
review here saw such soldiers
as he might have seen ut Wash

Swiss are next to the Prussians. The En-

The summer is gone and the autumn is here.
Andtbe flowers are strewing their earthly bier /;
A drearv mist o or woodland swims,
While rattle the nuts from the windy limbs;
From bough to bough the squirrels run,
Al the noise Of the hunters echoing gun,
And the partridge flies where my foofstep heaves
The rustling drifts Of the whitening leaves.
The focks pursue their southern flight
Some all the day and some all the night;
And up from the wooded marshes come

On the highest baugh the mourner crow
Sits in his funeral suit of woei
All nature mourns and my spirit grieves
At the noise of my feet in the whitening leaves.
Oh, l sigh for the days that have passed away,
When my life, like the year, had its season of
May;
When the world was all sunshine and beauty
and truth,
Then my heart felt its wings, and no bird of the
sky,
Sang over the flowers more joyous than /
For youth Is fable, and beauty deCeives;
For my footsteps are loud in the whitening

While they tossed the light sheaves with their

Through the field, with boy daring, barefooted

But the stubbles foreshadowed the path of the

Now the uplands Of life lie all barren of

While my footsteps are loud in the whitening
