a fortunaio o happy day,
When new household finds It's place
Among the myriad homes OF earth,
Like new star just sprung 70 birth
Ana rolled on ie harmonious way
Into The boundess realms Of space
20 said the guests in speech and song,
As In the chimney, burning bright,
We hung The Iron crane tonight,
And merry wa the feast and long.
BAhY.
Seated seo the two again
But not alone, they entertain
a little angel unaware,
With Nce n round ns is the moon
A royal gueit with haxen hair,
Who thr0nci upon its lory chair,
Drums On the table with HE spoon,
Then drops @ careless on the floor,
To grasp At things unseen before.
Arc thesa celestial manners These
Tho ways that win the arts that please
All, yes consider we'll the guest,
And whatso'or he does seems best
lie ruleth BY the right divine
OF helplessness, so lately horn
IN purple, chambers Of the morn,
A. sovereign over fhee and thine.
lie speakoth not tnd yet there lies
A conversation In his eyes,
The golden silense OF the Greek,
The rravest VISION ef the wise
Not spoken 10 language but In looks
More legibie than printed books,
Asii he could but would not speak.
TuE GOLDEN WEDDING.
Aner day ofcloud and wind and rain
Sometimes the setting sun breaks out again,
Aud touching all the datks0me woods with light
Smiles onathC lolds until they laugh and sing,
Thcu like a ru1y from the horizons ring
Drops down INTO the night.
o fortunate, ohsppy day
The people sing, the people say.
The ancient bridegroom and the bride,
Serencly smiling on the scene,
Behold we'll pleased on every side
Their form aud features multiplied,
A. the reelection of a light
Between tyo FURNISHED mirrors CLEANS,
Or lamps upbn a bridge at night
stretch on aid on before the sight,
TlI the lolg vista endless seems.

II angling n Boy.

The st. Joseph (Mo.) Herald describes the
murder OF James Ross, who had been arrested
Tor making tree with the steeds of the farmers
IN mat vicinity. Ross, in the custody of an of
ncer, was on his way to Jail, when he was seized
I'D spite OF the constable's remonstrances, by a
mob or armed men. Resistance was useless
ROSS was dragged from his horse and taken into
"the TIMBER" Then, for the first time, this bow
seemed TO comprehend the awful fate which
awaited him. He shook with fear and cried for
mercy. With one end OF the rope about his neck.
he burst into tears; he admitted that he had
stolen horses; but then he added piteously that
The was mere boy, and wanted time TO re-
iorm." The only answer to this was the stern
warning that he chad but five minutes left:u
snd four stout men significantly took hold of
the rope. The lad was so agtated that he
would have fallen to the ground If he had not
been supported. Then he rallied again, and
again besought mercy: He might as well have
spoken to the deaf. Then came ''silence for a
moment" broken only by the tick of the watch
IN the spokesman's hand. There was no pity in
their rigid faces. The shadows OF night were
gathering, and only minute remained TO him,
when the boy began to pray, although in a tone
so low that his words were indistinguishabIe
Then came from the executioner the cry of
"Time's up" and after the single exclamation,
go, my God" the body OF the young horse
thief was dangling ten feet from the ground
His hands were thrown wildly MP to catch the
rope, but moment after they dropped lifeless
on each side, and the boy horse thief was dead
The executoners mounted their horses aud rode
rapidly away, leaving the corpse there alone
with the night.

ANOTHER STRUGGLE BETWEEN A JERSEY
PASTOR AND His CoNGRRGATIoN.-The diff
Guilty between the Rev. Mr.. Hack, of the Ger.
man Lutheran church, in Jersey CITY, and his
congregation is not yet adjusted. a similar
conflict has taken place between the Rev, i.
Sweetland, pastor of st. Luke's EPISCOPAL
church, on Central avenue, and his congrega-
ton. The latter allege that he Is incompetent
ana that he interferes with the prerogatives of
the vestry. They have accordingly called on
him to tender his resignation. The pastor de-
cl'nes TO accede to this demand until the term
Tor which he was engaged has expired. The
pastor attempted to conduct the services on
SUNDAY last, but was forcibly elected by one of
the vestrymen. Another clergyman, the Rev
Mr thompson, read the service to a congreea-
ton numbering eight persons. Policemen were
stationed at the door OF the church to prevent
further trouble. The discarded clergyman
accepted an invitation from the congregation of
the Episcopal mission, on Bowers street, TO
preach for them; but he announced that he had
taken his case en- appeal to Bishop OdeR-
heimer.-N. J.. Herald, 2stb.
