swindles, give them put1s when
they marry, and write leng obitna.

For the Democrat-Star.
THE VACANT CHAIR,


Where the waves, in ripping sweetness
Leave their traces on the beach;
Where the whippoorwill's wild singing
Some fond, tbrobbing heart may reach.
Even, where the orange blossoms
With Its perfume rich an d rare,
We may find some nOurner weeping
We may 6nd a vancant chair.
While the smiles of those who meet us,
May happy heart portray;
Curtained by the winning laughter,
Fond delight may sink away.
For within the bosom, cherished,
Hidden from the MONDAY glare,
There may be some lurking sadness
Some mem'ry of a vacant chair.
In the grand and kingly palace,
There may be "A night of grief
Curtaned by the glowing splendor,
Which we think but brings relief,
Oh We never know the sorrow,
Which the smiling worldlings bear,
For behind their smiles, may linger,
Mem'ries of some vacant chair.
Often when the heart is weeping,
Smiles upon the surface play;
And the pleasures lips are speaking,
Never chase our cares away;
Yet, when in the silent chamber,
Christians kneel in prayer,
Though the world refuse to comfort
God will fill the vacant chair.

Boswell: &" Sir, the lawyer is not

Was it my place, when George
Gilbert's little SORROW worn wife,
with tears glistening in her eyes,
besought me to do what l could for
her imprisoned husband, virtuOusly
to turn my back and leave her tired,
struggling heart to break or not, as
it might! | was neither Il priest
nor a Levite to find ready excuse
for passing by on the other side !
Yet what could ! do? George Gil,
bert had been sent on a collecting
tour, and had gambled away money
received for his employers. 1t was
a plain case of embezzlement, aud
the penalty was term of years in
the State prison.
"Fm sure he never meant to be
dishonest" pleaded the loyal little
woman; "he was tempted by
crafty and designing man, but, in
stead of running away, as others
would have done, he came back
and confessed his fault, offering to
let his whole salary go toward
making up the lost money, till
every cent was paid. Mr.. Meek,
the junior partner, was inclined to
to be merciful; but Mr.. Mangle,
the head of the house, who return-
ed just then, after a years absence,
insisted that the law should take
its cOurse.'

The pale and despondent face
cheeIed up a little. Ny words
seemed to have inspired a sort of
underlined hope, which l was far
from feeling myself.
Mr.. Mangle received me with
stony pOllteness.
