Twas NV Mothers.

A company of poor children,
who had been gathered out Of the
alleys and garrets of the city, were
preparing for their departure to
new and distant homes in the West.
Just before the time for the starting
of the cars, one Of the boys was no.
ticed aside from the others, and ap-
parently very busy with a cast-oif
garment. The superintendent
stepped up to him, and found he
was cutting a small piece out of the
patched lining. 1t proved to be
his old jacket, which, having been
replaced by a new one, had been
thrown away. There was no time
to be lost. "Come, John, come,"
said the superintendent, "what are
you going to do with that old piece
of calico 2"
"Please SIR said John, 81 am
cutting it out to take with me. My
mother put the lining into this
old pocket for me. This was a
piece of her dress, and it is all /
have to remember her by" And
as the poor boy thought of his dead
mothers love, and the sad death
bed scene, in the old garnet where
she died, he covered his face with
his hands, and sobbed as if his
heart would break.
But the train was about leaving,
and John thrust the little piece Of
calico into his bosom to remember
his mother, hurried into q car, and
was soon far away from the place
where he had seen so much sorrow.
Many an eye has moistcned as the
story of this orphan boy has been
told; and many a heart has prayed
that the God of the fatherless and
motherless would be his friend.

veridcn,ions Of the Scriptures.

One of the most interesting Of
the monuments of ancient Rome,
and one which strikingly confirms
an important portion of the Scrip
lures prophecy, is the triumphal
arch which was erected to COM
memorate the conquest of Jerusa-
lem by Titus Vespasian. After the
destruction of the Temple, the VIC
torious conqueror made triumph
al arch at Rome bringing with him
a long train of captive Jews, and
the spells of war, among which
was the sacred vessels of the Tenn
pie. This procession is represent
ed in the beautiful arch, which thus
furnished an illustration of the BIZ
BILE that is nowhere else TO be found,
these being the only existing repre-
sensations of the sacred vessels
the table of the show bread, the
golden candle-stick with its seven
branches, and the priests to pro-
claim the year of Jubilee. The
Roman Senate and people little
thought, when they were erecting
this monument to a defied emperor,
that they were also erecting mon
ument to the true God, in the Neii-
fication of prophecy and divine
history. a recent traveller says
that not one of the Jews of Rome,
of which there are about six thous-
and, will pass under the arch of
Titus, even to this day, though 1t
spans one of the thoroughfares of
the city. They shun it as memoir
ial of a subjugation of their nation,
which has never been retrieved
and hence they regard it with aver
sion.

relieve the patient of headache in one

the liver of surrounding bile, and will

SUNDAY READING
INC KIND Of ReIIgIOn Wanted.

The annexed, from the Christian BOSTON,
is we'll worth reading and consideration,
too:
We want religion that bears heavily,
not only on the " exceeding sinfulness of
SIM" but on the exceeding rascality of ly-
ing and stealing-a religion that banishes
small measures from the counter, small
baskets from the stall, pebbles from the
cotton bags, clay from the paper, sand from
sugar, chicory from coffee, alum from
bread, and water from the milk cans. The
religion that is to save the world will not
put all the big strawberries at the top and
all the little ones at the bottom, 1t will
not make one half pair of shoes of good
leather and the other half of poor leather,
so that the first shall rebound to the max
er's credit and the second to his cash. 1t
will not put Jouvin's stamp ON Jenkins
kid gloves nor make Paris bonnets in the
back room of a Boston milliners shop; nor
let piece of velvet that processes to meas
ure twelve yards comes to an untimely end
at the tenth, or a spool of sewing silk that
vouches for twenty yards to be nipped in
the bud at fourteen and a half nor all
woolen delaines nor all-woo handkerchiefs
be amalgamated with clandestine cotton
nor coats made of old rags pressed together
to be sold to the unsuspecting public for
legal broadcloth. 1t does not put bricks at
five dollars per thousand into chimneys it
contracts to build of seventeen dollar ma
terial ; nor smuggle white pine into floors
that have paid for hard pine nor daub the
ceilings that ought to be smoothly plaster
ed nor make window-blinds with Stats
that cannot stand the wind, and paint that
cannot stand the sun, and fastenings that
may be looked at, but are on no account to
be touched. The religion that is going to
sanctify the world pays its debts 1t does
not consider that fifty cents returned for
one hundred cents given in according to
the Gospel, though it may be according to
law. 1t looks on man who has failed in
trade, and who continues to live in luxury,
as a thief

of mind that perhaps Mary had made a
mistake in the columns of the book. He
seized the volume and verified his sus-
picion. The innocent note that he had writ
ten was actually transformed, by the simple
process of reading it with the wrong col
umn as key, into the incoherent, but OBJ
viously impolite letter, which had wrought
such unhappy consequences.
Pennington sank into his chair utterly
overwhelmed. He called himself all the
choice names that old Morris had applied
to him, together with large selection of
other epthets. He spent an hour in this
profitable occupation. At the end of that
time he had formed a resolution which he
proceeded to put into immediate execution
He rose up, and going to his trunk, took
out his secret society emblems and solemn
ly threw them into the CRATE He next sat
down and wrote twelve separate resigna-
tions for twelve different lodges. Then he
wrotea solemn pledge never, 10 the day of
his death, to meddle with cipher or any
other mystery, and, finally, writing out a
full history of the cipher letter, sent it, to-
gether with book which he had used as a
key, his pledge to solmenly abstain from
mysteries, and an humble apology to old
Morris.
Of course his explanation was accepted,
and Mary forgave him. Several years have
passed since that event, butif you want to
make Pennington Smythe blushed with
wretchedness, all that is necessary is to
ask him if he knows of any good, trust
worthy cipher.

That Nose.

At one of the mi-French reunions, not
long since, little scene occurred which
amused few who witnessed it. About
ten o'clock a monsieur entered very cor
rect in his "getting up" unexception-
able in his demeanor, of fine figure
altogether an accomplished gentleman
gifted with very considerable nasal organ.
The old proverb says, GA large nose never
spoiled a handsome face,' and the stranger
justified the proverb.
Advancing to the mistress of the house,
he made the formal reverence which cere-
mony requires on first visit, then taking
q more familiar tone he said, cit has been
very happy to accept your invitation, mad
am an honor of which it is quite unwor-
thy"
This was said in low voice, but so dis
tinctly articulated that it could be under
stood by those who stood near
The lady, who, though very distin-
guished person, is somewhat timid, be-
cause still young was somewhat embar-
rassed at this address, and, thinking she
had misunderstood him, replied
Excuse me, sir You were saying
81 said, madam, that it was very CRATE
full for the invitation to your soiree.''
The bystanders exchanged looks and be-
gan to whisper; the lady became more and
more out of countenance.
81 do not understand you, ''she said,
at length "of what arei you speaking?"
The gentleman did not speak again, but
pointed in reply to the prominent feature
in his face.
"What, do you know? Oh, imprudent !''
exclaimed the lady and blushed from her
chin to her eyes, she concealed in her hand
kerchef face half laughing and half en-
barrassed
The explanation of this little mystery
soon came out. The hostess had met this
gentleman the evening before at the house
of her sister, where he had made himself
very agreeable, as was his custom. On her
return, recollecting her own soiree of the
next day, she wrote hastily the following
concise note to her sister

Her madcap relative amused herself by
sending the invitation as it was, and the
gentleman responded to the joke in man
ner which brought the laughter on her

Stern Reality.

1t may seem strange, but it is neverthe-
ness true, that alcohol, regularly applied to
a thrifty farmers stomach, will remove the
boards from the fences, let cattle into the
crops, kill the fruit trees mortgage his
farm, and SOW his field with wild oats and
thistles. 1t will take the paint off his
buildings, break the glass out of the win
dows, and ill them with rags. 1t will
take the gloss from his clothes and polish
from his manners, subdue his reason,
arouse his passions, bring sorrow and dis
grace upon his family, and topple him irr
to drunkard's grave. 1t will do this to
the artisan and the capitalist, the matron
and the maiden, as well as to the farmer,
for in its deadly enmity to the human race,
alcohol is no respecter of persons.

"COME TO JESUS"
DON'T DRAW WATER
AT MY WELL.

The good man saw his mistake. He had
not meant to be mean but he had done an
illiberal thing. If he was calling his neigh
bors to drink of the water of life was it the
right thing to forbid them the filling their
buckets at his well? He threw down the
bars and threw open his gate, and let the
people come and take of his well water
freely. And he felt that the goodwill of
his neighbors was more than compensa-
ton for annoyance.
