wait, too? Oh, it will be so nice Il
have supper together again!
And he began to dance ahOnt th'
room, he was so wild with joy. An'
whenever the wind rattled the ontel
latch, or shook the door as it whistle,
past down the lane. he wonld start
and fancy that he heard footsteps
and imagine that some one was sure
ly coming in at the gate.
But after while, rs the excite
ment of the dream wore away, and
he looked at his mother bending 50
wearily and sadly over her work. and
the clock was just IN the strike of
nine, he ceased to listen for footsteps
without, and wondered how he'could
have given himself up so entirely to
believe in Il foolish dream. The old
house cat purred drearily aud monOt-
onously on the hearth, and it was
very lonely and silent, and Jack grew
rs sad as he had been joyful.
The doors were bolted for the night,
and Jack and his mother were pre-
pairing for he'd, when the gate latch
did indeed click, and there were foot
steps upon the crisp snow without.
Jack rushed wildly for the door. snd
Jacks mother trembled 50 that she
could hardly stand. She leaned
against the table and listened.
'-Oh, fatherr' sang Jacks clear,
jOvial voice, Il knew that YOU were
comingr
And into the room where she stood
stepped the sailor, and clasped his
wife in his arms, and it was certainly
father, alive and well. as Jack had
dreamed on this happy New Years
Eve. He, with another brave com
rade had been saved from the wreck
of the Orient, after floating about un-
til they almost died of hunger. and
thirst, and cold, upoa some detached
spars: and the ship that took them in
at last was bound to foreign port.
Then for six months after reaching
that foreign port he had lain i'll in Il
hospital, for the exposure and suffer
ing he had endured had brought on
Il distressing sickness. This had
been the cause of his silence and de
lay. And if ever Il little sprite has
come to Jack in his dreams since, he
has believed firmly in what she has
said.

The Dying ChiId's Last Thoughts,

A little girl of this city, aged six

died in two hours. While in intense
suffering she spoke frequently to

PRESSED FLOWERS.
By KATHERINE II. GREENE.

| have dainty volume
Enshrining here and there
Between its leaves, some flowers
Once blooming sweet and fair.
Now faded, dead and withered
Though these sweet flowers he.
They hold within their ghosily forms
A nameless charm fer me.
Pressed flowers, How very precious
To every human heart
Are these pale, sweet mementoes
Which form of life Il part.
They breathe of happy moment
They speak of golden hours
| And twine their fragrance in and ont
Of these frail hearts of ours.
Pansies! now but shadow
OF beauty once displayed
Petals of gold and purple
With dewdrops fair inlaid.
Oh the pansies of past summers!
Street pansies cluster still
Within my hearts lone garden,
Like those beside the rill.
Liliesi pure, spotless lilies
Fair lilies of the vale!
\ blight hath softly fallen
Upon their faces pale.
Yet, still the music fingers
Within each snowy bell,
Like the sweet, yet far-Off mnrmur
Within some pearly she'll.
Violets, sweet spring violets--
April violets these
Which once bent in humility
Meath every passing breeze.
Their blue eyes gaze upon me
Like biue eyeS now at rest:
And their perfume still surrounds me
Though long they have h'e" pressed.
Daisies bright, laughing daisies.
In a field far, far away,
They once raised up their silvery heads
To greet the suns warm ray.
Those silver heads were gently laid
Against the stainless page;
And now are yellOwimg slowly
Beneath the hand of age.
ROsebuds. beautiful rosebuds!
Rosebuds white and red,
Like these which in the summer
Such heavy sweetness shed.
These twined in rich luNuriance
About easement wide,
And with an olden memory
Are very close allied.
ruberoses, too, are pressed herein,
Whose fragrance fingers yet
About my life, embalming it
In swaths of sad regret.
1t breathes throughout each lonely day,
Enfolds each night in pain,
4 nd in 81 hal N
\ low and sweet refrain.
Ivy. shining ivy leaves
Of'dark, unchanging green
Which rest so lovingly against
The pages waXen sheen.
oh, the memories creeping DER
The ruins of the past
Soft-veiling with their tenderness
The moldering temple vast.
A spray of purple heather
Culled one bright morn for me
In the pleasant fields of Scotland
Beyond the briny sea.
A tiny Alpine blossom
Bushes against the spray
Together forming precious link
TO one now far away.
Pressed flowers, How very precious
70 every human heart!
They touch the chords of memory
And sweetest strains impart.
Relics of days departed
MementOes frail, yet dear,
Which bring the past before us
Through many Il weary year.

An old and weather-w worn trapper
was recently seen sauntering along
the main street of one of our Wes-
tern villages. Pausing in front of q
little meeting house for moment, he
went in and took his seat among the
congregation. The preacher was dis
cOursing on the text of ''the sheep
and the wolves" and had evidently
been drawing Il contrast between the
two subjects. Says he: ave who
have assembled here from week to
week and do our duty, and perform
our part, are the sheep; now who are
the wOlves?" A pause, and our
friend, the trapper rose to his feet;
''Wa'al, stranger, rather than see the
play stopped, | will be the wolves"
The preacher was vanquished.

THERE will be no general elections
to speak Of for five months, when
Maine will hold her State election.
This will be followed by elections in
California. Wyoming, Colorado, and
New Mexico. Ohio will elect Gov
ernOr in October, Iowa will have an
October election, and Massachusetts
and several other States will hold
elections in November. These cleo
tions will test the public sentiment
and prepare the way for the great
contest Of next year, and perhaps
will forecast the result.

in his coantenance, and he was yisi-

Judgment of tho peoplo,

Judgment of tho pooplo.
His words arc rather those Of dis.
appointed and despairing ambition
bewailing fruitless political past,
in anxious longing for future more
propitious.
Governor Scott may be assured
first, that the oolored American will
attompt no independent political
organ ization proffcriug his voto to
the democrtic party upon tho torms
suggested by him; nor, in the
second place, is it possible to play
upon his fears in such manner as to
scare him into the democratic party
for thc sake of gaining succor whcr
defeat overtakos the republican par.
ty. Whatever others may do, what
over may bo their course, as yot the
colored American fluids no just cause
for pursuring any other oourse than
that adopted heretofore, and to which
he has 30 persi ,tcntly adhered.

Because your neighbors advertise,
And draw away the dimes
But boldly, do as thoy have dono,
Pursue the course they have begun
And drive away dull times.
