raj ely does more than supply their
daily wants; l can never forg-ta en-
cumstance that occurred when l
was a bey. Nv mother was left q
widow when | was but nine years
old, aud she was poor. It was by
the labor Of her hands that she OBJ
tained shelter and food for herself
and three little ones.
'.Once-l remember the occur
renee rs if it had taken place yester-
day-wa were ont of money and
food. At breakfast time ear last
morsel was eaten. and we went
through the long day without
taste of bread. We all grew very.
very hungry by night; hut our
mother encouraged rs tn be patient
little while longer. until she
finished the garment she was max
ing. when she would take that and
some other work home to a lady
who would pay for the work. Thea
she said, we should have nice sup
n r. At last the work was finished
and I went with my mother to help
to carry it home. for she was weak
and sicklv, and even "a light burden
fttiguei her. The lady for whom
she had made the garment was III
good circumstances and had no want
unsupplied that money could sup
ply. When we came into her pres
ence she took the work, and after
.lancing Mt it rarelessly said, 1T
will do very well.
MY mother fingered, perceiving
which, the lady said rather rudely
.You want your money, | suppose.
How much does the work come TOT
"'Three dellars.' replied my
mother.
The lady took ont her purse and
sail, haven't the chunge this even
ing. Call over mt any time and you
shall have it And without giving
my mother time earnestly to urge
her reeuest, turned from as and
left the room.
u never shall forget the night
that followed. My mothers feel
ings were sensitive aud independ-
pnt. She conld not make known
her wants. An hour after our re-
tnrn home she sa. weeping, with
her children around her. when q
neighbor came in, and learning our
situation, supplied our present
wants"
This relation did not make me
feel the more comfortable. Anxi-
nusly I waited on the next morning
the arrival of Polly. As soou as she
came ] sent for her. and handing
her the money she had earned the
day before, said. TIN sorry I hadn't
the change for YOU last night. Polly.
I hope you didn't want it very bad
ly."
Polly hesitated little. and then
replied, "Well. ma'am, did want
it very much, or l wouldn't have
asked for it. My poor daughter
Hetty is sick, and I wanted to get
her something nice TO eat.
II am sorry" said 1, with sincere
regret. How is Hettie this morn
in:?"
She is'Lt so well, ma'am, and I
feel very uneasy abont her"
'Come up tc me in Lalf an hour,
Polly" said /.
The old woman went down stairs
When she appeared again, accord
ing to my desire, l had Il basket
for her, in which We're some wine,
sugar, fruit and various little mat
tsrs that / thought her daughter
would relish, and told her to go at
nnce and take them To the sick. girl.
Her expressions of gratitude touch
ed my feelings deeply. Never since
have | omitted, under any pretense,
TO pay the poor their wages as soon
Is carried

Site Of the Obelisk.

The park Commissioners have de
cided that the Alexandrian obelisk
shall be placed on the natural knoll
in the Central Park, lying south
west of the Museum of Art building,
and on the west side of the East
Drive, and North of the Greyrock
Arch. At this point the ground is
about one hundred and seventeen
feet above the level of the sea, and
the top ofthe knoll is about thirty
feet above the level of the drive. 1t
is the intention of the Park Com
missioners to cut away the uneaven
surface of the rock so that the knoll
will be symmetrical. A carriage
vay and walk will be laid out around
the base of the knoll, and foot-paths
will lead up to the base of the obe-
llisk. Trees will be cut down in
order,that good view ofthe mono
| lith may be had from all points.
When the obelisk is put in position
there it will be formally presented
to the city. Commander Gorringe,
Of the United States Navy, who
brought it to this city in the Des'
soug, will superintend the erection
ofthe obelisk s.

When morning is breaking, and dark
ness has fed.
And the stars sink to rest in the
fathoinless bed,
When the sun rises up from his glori'

The bright world in beauty and glad

As soft DER creation his golden beams

They speak to our hearts, 1--WE are pass

The dew drops that fall from the blue

To rest on the flowers and leaves in

Like tears that steal soft from angels

As they stoop to look down from their

Each glitteriug drop in the wood seen
to say,
Take warning, frsil morsals. ye are

We are passing away. when wa look
upou the flowers,
That bloom in the brightest and green
eat of bowers.
We view them with feelings Of joy and
Of pain.
For we know when We enter the gar
den again,
The sweetest among them will hava
gone to decay.
And the dead leaves will whisper, "W<
are passing away"

from our crime.

the beautiful sea.
And the flowers spring up from tht

| As they rise to their wings OIL their sun

They sing to our hearts, "We are pass
ing away"
We are passing away to the gloom o

We are passing away to eternity's wave
Life g valuable moments are vanishing

Aud the present. GRE long will, belong
to the past,
Then let us improve each moment o

For loi We are passing, we are passing

Judah P. BENJAMIN.

Bedianin was native of Santa
Cruz, one of the island of the British
West Indies. His father migrated
to Charleston with large family
when Judah Philip was an infant.
Settling in Charleston, the eldest
Benjamin devoted himself assidu-
ously to the support and education
OF his large family, composed of
sons and daughters of remarkably
bright and promising qualities.
Judah, almost from his infancy, dis
PLAYED his wonderful gifts of mem
orv, quickness in acquiring knowl-
edge, his versatility and the vivaci-
ty OF faculties and temper that
have been preserved to nearly three
score and ten. He learned every
thing with rapidity that astonish-
ed his family and friends. Before
he had entered hisoteens he posses
sed an amount of literary acquire
ments which would fit him to any
college. He needed no teachers

uncle. attracted by his precociety,
assumed the payment for college
term, and he was, at the age of six
teen, sent to Yale college. In
brief period after his entrance at
Yale he achieved the highest place
I'M all classes, and amazed the pro
fessors by his proficiency and ca
pacity of mastering every depart
ment of learning and science. In
volved through some of his associ-
ates in college scrape, Benjamin
had the misfortune to become
martyr to the. folly and recklessness
of his companions, and to suffer ex-
pulsion therefor His withdrawal
from the college was deeply regret
ted by the professors. who regard
ed him as their brightest pupil.
He was offered restoration, but
through pride refused, and betook
himself tossome village in Vermont,
where he engaged as an assistant
tutor in a small school. In this
humble and wearisome occupation
he passed two years, carefully Law
ing by his small earnings to paw the
expense Of returning home. Final
