THE POsTMAN's RING.

or all the parallels, day by day
That thrill the heart of this life OF mine
Making strange and beautiful sign
OF gracious meaning in common way
The very blithest and dearest thing
Is the sound in the house ofthe Postman7s ring'
/. tells story. Though deep and far
Stretch the want and the wish OF man,
Hid in the bud OF an infinite plan
All blessed aud sure provdings are
Gods love rings the bell at the door
That the postman stands and waits before
For he knew when he made eit-earth and sea
The world so wide, and his child so small
Something must reach across 1t all
From heart TO heart that would listening Be-
And so from the first He laid away
Seed Of purpose that fruits to-day.
And because no service OF man 20 man
No thought or method that matches need
With outward emblem, can halfway read
The depths divine of the Heavenly plan,
Almost the dearest and bopeiulest thing
In the livelong day is the Postman's ring.
II minds me well il so sure hand,
So glad a summons may tell and send
Our earthly tidings from friend to friend,
There cannot be less in the Perfect land
Soul-messages may not be stayed or crossed ;
Ont Of Gods mails no letter is lost
Dear heart! that dwellest l know not where;
SO near. so Distant may not see--
While sit below with thoughts OF thee
Is some such usage OF gladness thereY
Do the angels come 10 thy door and say:
1--WE have brought thee word from her to-
day ?"

Sunny Faces.

How sweet in infancy, bow lovely in youth,
how sanity in age There arc few noble ma
lures whose very presence carries sunshine
with them wherever they go; sunshine which
means pity for the poor, sympathy for the
suffering, help for the unfortunate, aud benig-
nifty for ALL How such a face enlivens every
other face it meets, and carries into every COM
pany viyacity, JOY, and gladness. But the
scowl aud frown, begotten in a selfish heart,
and manifested in daily, almost hourly fret
fulness, complaining fault-fnding, angry
criticism, spiteful comments on the motives
and actions Of others, how they thin the cheek,
shrivel the face, sour and sadien the counte-
nance No joy in the heart, no nobility in
the soul, no generosity in the nature the
whole character as cold as an iceburg, rs hard
as an Alpine rock, as arid as the wastes Of
Sahara Reader, which of these countenauces
are you cultvating? If you find yourself
losing all confidence in human nature, You are
nearing an old age Of vinegar, Of NORWOOD
and of GALL and not a mourner will follow
your solitary bier, not one tear-drop shall ever
fall on your forgotten grave.

Greeley and Bennett.

A New York correspondent Of the Troy
Times writes: Greeley aud Bennett, waen
tbey were Ann street editors, were both tall
and slender, but their personal appearance was
widely different. Their Offices were near, but
they approached from different directlons.-
Greeley generally came in from Broadway,
while Benuetts beat was from Nassau street
corner. Greeley, though slightly stopping
looked people clearly in the face, while Ben
nett. who was four inches taller, stood bolt
upright. but as he walked be fixed his eyes
downward, as though to conceal the obliqalty
of visien which was almost detormity.-
Bennett walked stifly aud carried cane
Greeley would have felt as awkward with TIE
latter as he would with q sword OF pitchlorS'
Bennett dressed neatly Greeley was SloYen.
Bennett wrote legible hand ,be once was a
,eacher,. while Greeley's calligrsphy was abom-
inable. As an editor it was Benefits forte TO
dictate. while Greeey's was to write Ihe
Herald's best articles were done by the stan )
the Tribune's ,hunderbolts bore the stamp oil
its chief. Both Of these men were Of abste-
mious habits, aud although Bennett was often
the apolosist ior vice, his life, as regards mere
morality was as pure as Greeley's. His indu-
ence was for sale in professional manner, just
like that of lawyer In this poin! be differ
ed from Greeley. Each of these eccentric edi-
tors courted successfully and became married
men. Few have less time for love matters, or
less grace to win woman's favor, but the
course of "true love in each case led them
smoothly to the wedding day. To bring the
parallel to close, they died the same year
and are buried not far apart 10 tue cemetery.

Home.

Best of all things to us is home. In hours
of ambition and pleasure we may sometimes
forget its exquisite sweetness, but let sickness
or sadness come and we return to itatonce Let
the hollow hearts that feign friendship which
they do not feel stand revealed before us-let
us know as we all must at moments, that how
ever important we may be in our own estima-
ton our places would be filed at an hours
notice should we die tomorrow then we
whisper 10 ourselves the magic word Home,
aud are comfJrted.
Home, sweet homep 1t matters not how
humble it is, nor is less home for being a
place. 1t is where those we love dwell
wherever that may be-wherc we are valued
for ourselves and are held in esteem because Of
what we are in ourselves, and not because Of
power, or wealth or what we do for other
people.
Who would be without a homer Who
would take the worlds applause aud honor in
place of the tenderness of few true hearts
and the cosy freside meetings where the truth
may be spoken without disguise, and cnvious
earnings are unknown? In life's battle even
the hero finds many enemies, and much abuse
and SANDER aud detraction, but int1a home, if
it is what it ought to be, these things never
find their way There to his wife the plainest
man becomes wonderful tbing-as age, a
man who ought to be President Of The United
States, and would be were his worth known.

" Cut the Tree Down Samson !"

The following story is told ofthe late Judge
Keyes of Vermont. The Judge always has
about him a number Of workiugmen. Among
them was man named Amasa. One day he
told Amasa-or, as the Judge always called
him. Samson, to cut down a crooked, insight
" tree on the brink of bis mi-pond.
The Judge stood by watching the progress
Of the work. Samson was, like most young
Verronters. at home with an axe, and soon
reached the heart of the tree two or three
more strokes would suffice. Seeing the Judge
was in a position to be hit with limb Of the
tree when it fell, be said
"You had better move, Judge, or you will
be hit
aCnt the tree down, samsonI" was the re-
sponse.
Two more strokes, and seeing that unless
the Judge moved he would be hit sure, the
axepan renewed the suggestion.
"ou. the tree down, slmsoa--just as ~
old man tells you !" said the Judge.
One more stroke, and the last. Down came
the tree-and down came the old Judge, also,
into the water Samson quickly jumped into
the pond and dragged the Judge on shore, his
face scratched and bleeding, aad nearly strang-
led by his sudden bath Blowing the water
from his mouth like a spoutiug whale he said +:
"That's right, SamsOn-thats right ! Al
ways do just as the old man tellsyo I"
