JAMES BROTHER JOHN.

Only three little months since that
Saturday morning, and yet how the
worlds changed to me! l had promised
my little son his favorite dish of stuffed
meat for Sundays dinner, and had for
gotten thyme, the very root and essence
of all ilavors; so, in hot haste, with my
sleeves rolled up, my white apron on,
and nothing but dusting-cap on my
head, l rushed in to Jane, singing
cheerily to myself,
know bank whcroon the wild thyme blows.
In truth, Jane was bank where some
thing else could be had besides this frag-
rant commodity. Many time l had
tided over a Sundays dinner with the
help of a pudding or pie from her ca
pacious larder; and on rare occasions,
seasons of dire necessity-for Jane was
more chary Of money than any thing
else in the wide world-she had lent me
bit of currency, which always paid
back at my earliest convenience, even if
l was compelled to borrow it from some
body else, because knew that, to be in
James favor, one must not forget what
she called 4 business transaction. l
confess with shame and remorse that
have lost count of half loaveS of bread,
Jumps of butter, small quantities of vim
egar, pepper, mustard, even scuttle of
coal. These things have passed from
my memory, and left no distinct trace;
but never have failed, when have
been compelled to borrow money from
my sister-in-law, to put the amount
down on the kitchen door, and have
even worn a string on my finger till the
debt was wiped out. She wasn't exact

Murray's Plan for a
New Church.

The speaker proposed that 400 be-
nevolent persons of Boston should each
subscribe $500; that they should be re-
garded and held in remembrance as the
founders of the enterprise, their names
being properly displayed within the edi-
flee itself; the 100000 thus raised to
be intrusted to the keeping of twelve
trustees, of whom the Governor of the
State should always be chairman, the
eleven others to be chosen by the 400
founders, and to be taken from the sew
eral denominations of the country, as
impartially as could be arranged, five
from Boston and six from the New Eng
land States at large, one from each
State; only through death or resigna-
ton any vacancy to occur, and to be
filled by the remaining members of the
board. To the control of these men
thus elected should be committed the
temporal affairs of the church. The
building contemplated should be of
stone and capable of seating 5000 per-
sons, the seats so arranged that each
one might command an unimpeded
view of the platform. The platform
should be capable of seating 1000 sing
ers, and the organ the best that can be
built.

Susan should have every thing. To
crown all, saw somebody else pass my

give her the violets, with some nice lit
