A wealthy citizen of New York has me-
chanical curiosity in the form of musical
tree. 1t is an artificial tree or bush, about
five feet high, set in large square tub OF
Russia leather. 1t looks very natural and
beautitul-every leaf, sprig and twig being
absolutely perfect in the workmanship Of
copying nature. Touch knob on the side
Of the tub and instantly the tree is literally
filled with small birds of every imaginable
hue and color, including those represented in
sing, and very sweetly, too-their soft notes
blending beautifully in harmony. Touch the
knob again and the birds disappear myste-
riously, to reappear whenever summoned by
pressure Of the little gold knob.

SERMON OF an INDIAN PREAcHER.-At a re-
cent Sunday school anniversary meeting in
Montreal, one of the speakers, missionary,
described the work and prospects of the Sun
day School Society among the Indians. and
referring to a gathering of the latter for re-
igious services, gave the following account of
the sermon
One OF the Indian preachers, stripping his
shoulders to show that he had thrown off all
deceit, stood up and said that he had had q Wis
ion. He said the Great Spirit made first the sun
which took him week He then rested He
went to work again and made the moon, and
then as it had nothing to shine on, our mother
the earth. Then he created the buffalo, the
greatest gift to his people. After this came
red men. He put them here and said, "You
stay there" He then created a little island
and put the pale faces on it and said, "You
stay there ;" but they had SO much fire in their
bones they couldn't stay there. and had to 60
everywhere, and crossed the water and came
here. The Great Spirit must have put them
in a bad country or they would have s aid in
it. They had no business to cross the big
lake at all, but they have come here. and
have got to stay here. and I've got to tell you
We had better let them alone.

A REPUBLICAN HowL.-A number of the
small fry Of the Republican party hereabouts
are raising mean howl over the retention,
in a Treasury clerkship, of Miss Amelia Jack
son, daughter of James W. jackson, who
killed Col. Ellsworth at Alexandria, early in
1861, and was himself killed immediately
thereafter by Ellsworth's forces. The average
truly loyal sentiment is greatly exercised on
this subject, and sternly demands that this
young lady, towhose character and efficiency
there is no objection, should be removed. 1t
is feared by them that this astounding
magnan unity in keeping Miss jackson in
office-will demoralize the party worse than
the late elections have already done. The
Republicans are also complaining a good deal
Of Mosby's influence with Grant. Since the
election there is rapidly increasing tendency
among them to go back on Grant Cincinnati

Then he said, in . trembling voice: Marie
my only child, your mother was noble,
Christian woman. She would die before
knowingly commit wrong action. She
knows your struggles and temptations, but

"God and my sainted mother will both ap

what has happened"

ga DOUBLE TRIUNPH.-The new play pro-
duced at the theatre last night proved to be
one Of the greatest successes Of the season.
Its name" The Frozen Heart lis sensa-
tional; the entire play abounds in beautiful
passages and startling situations
"The Frozen Heart" repeated the old
actor. "Why, that's the title of my unfn-
ished play !"
"Your play was completed by myself, dear
father /; and it was your production and my
own which was brought out at the theatre last
night, and with such unbounded success
The old man was stricken speeches. for a
moment, and then the tears started to his
eyes. But IL was only upon the examination
of the manuscript that he could convince him
self that such was really the fact.
After this point was settled, his daughter
said Father, will you hear more of the
article
"Yes; read"
"I will" Here it is:
"We must admit, however, that the splend-
idly effective and affecting acting of the debut
ante did much to insure its great success. With
regard to Marie, as she is called -.'
Marie, Marie, repeated the old man.
"Was it my Marie?"
"Yes, dear father, your own poor child,
Marie, is the one here spoken of. And if my
triumph brings me great joy, it is because I
can provide for you now, and repay you, to
some extent, tor the love and tenderness you
have always bestowed upon me-"
It is not wonder that father and daughter
both wept. But those tears were of joy and
gratitude for the blessings bestowed upon
them. Who would snatch those blessings
from the old actor and his child? Who would
poison their delights and turn their happy
home into place Of sorrow?

where he lived, in acknowledging the invita-.

though of course not intended, in inviting a.

poor one, to such an affair without accom-
panying the compliment with the necessary

compelled to appear in the character Of

And felt my fate engraven there,
I little dreamed that such an hour
As this would be our lot to share.
I little thought that sorrows tear
Should flow from where such love did spriI
That e'er the ruthless hand of care
His mantle DER thy brow should fling.
But that alone shonld love, supreme.
Proclaim tireless sway,
And joy go hand in hand with joy,
Increasing day by day!
But, one by one, those visions hed,
And one by one were lost
Those beams of happiness which shed
Their bliss upon the past.
Oh, God! that all our best desires
Should foul e'er they could bud,
SEQ rched by the demon SANDERS fires
Then to be drowned in PHYS flood!
That, all our hopes were built upon
| Our love, our faith, our trust,-
| By human hands should be undone
And trampled in the dust!
Forgive-though We cannot forgive!
Forget-though we cannot,
And let them still, forever live,
Who'd give an honor BLOT,
Aye let them live, but not in rest
Come, Satan, do thy part,
As they desire to be all-blest,
Let blessings go depart.
Still let them see that pale, wan face,
The eye which pies ded all too vain,
nj &-4 4,
Which they bid down again!
Let in their ears that voice still sound,
Whose prayer was for life
Wherein no present stain was found
That they cast out to strife:
And when they crumble into dust,
And are the worms foul prey,
Let hope, and faith, and God, and trust
With their cold hearts decay.
And thou, fair bud, whose early blight
Was winters cursed blast,
Mark how upon the darkest night
The stars moro radiance cast.
SO on thy path will love still beam,
More bright as dsfk the hour,
While hope forever still shall gleam
Thy best and only dover.
AWAKE.
All, go! thou fond deceiver, go!
Thy tickle charms no more prevail;
The heart that's early steeled to woe
No future sorrow can assail!
Thy lustrous beauty, once so priced,
Hath no allurements new for me,
Since it but makes soul, dispised,
Where truth and virtue ne'er can be.
Thy voice SO soft, so sweetly rare,
That raised my spirit to the blest,
Alas ! tits but syren's snare
To lure fond hearts to their unrest.
And that most priceless gem-the heart,
Where virtue, truth, and love should reign,
Meath the dark curse thy sins have wrought,
Lives but sepulchre OF stain.
Thy hand, so free to give-and take,-
Forgetful of its perjured past!-
No more in gentle touch shall wake
The joys dreamt would ever last.
Thy words are false as thou art fair;
Thy VOWS all broken ere they're given;
Thy tempting lips ne'er breathed a prayer
Save such as ne'er ascends to Heaven.
Thou art deceit in every smile,
In every look falsehood lies,
md every action is q guile
Might tempt an angel from the skies.
)hl thou SO sweetly fair and foul,
Falsehood before ne'er owned such grace:
Beauty meier hid SO dark soul
AS turks meath thy deceitful face.
'arewell forever, still, farewell!
Oh, parting bitter-yet how sweet!
Vhere'er I wander, you may dwell
We part, again to never meet.

THE DREAM.
Oh, Love! with tempest breast Of signs!
Oh, breast hot pent with soft desires!
Oh, heart within that breast that lies
Oh, soul! that tempt. me with thy fires!
Oh, Love! oh, breast! oh, heart oh, soul!
Thou are my idol, worshiped whole!
Thine eyes are like the eyes Of night
That sentinel Loves warm dehght
Thy cheeks-the bushes of the dawn.
Pi llows for kisses to lie on! -
Thy rosy lips, so dewy sweet,
Brit hplace Of kisses when we meet
Thy tresses-fairy locks Of light,
In ripples strewn DER brow milk white!
Thy sniles-from Heaven stolen down!
Thy frown-it, too, an angel frown!
Thy tears-the precious drops Of Eve
Begot Of Heaven, to relieve!
Thy voice-the summer south winds song
Nellowd the orange bowers among!
Thy form-the perfect Of all thought,
Enriching, not enriched by art
Oh, Love! oh, breast! oh, heart! oh, soul
Thou art my idol-worshiped whole!
THE WAKING.
One lingering kiss-and then to part:
Embrace-and then-farewell
One sigh, to ease breaking heart!
And say, that all is well.
Is well? Because it must be SO;
For man must bow to Fate
Must share with joy his meet of woe,
With love his meet of hate
Wsep not thy tears will melt my heart.
And now it must not quail;
For all am, for all thou art,
Is persisted if we fail
When first gazed upon thy brow,
And felt my fate engraven there,
little dreamed that such an hour
As this would be our lot to share.
I little thought that sorrows tear
Should flow from where such love did spring;
That e'er the ruthless hand Of care
His mantle DER thy brow should fling.
But that alone shonld love, supreme.
Proclaim tireless sway,
And joy go hand in hand with joy,
Increasing day by day!
