JENNIE’S DISAPPOINTMENT. 111.
BY M. ,E. M.
I wish my readers would have seeii Mrs.
Martin’s old-fashioned tea-table a ; few mi
nutes later, the happyparty gathered
about it. The old-fashionaed tea-table is
getting rather out of date, tin recent years;
and people gather how, around a formal
looking mahogany or walnut table, and
drink tea out of tiny cups, and eat the
thinnest slices; of bread and butter, and the
driest morsels of smoked beef, as if taking
an evening meal were only a delicate
make-believe way of eating. That’s the
way fashionable people do, but Mrs. Mar
tin was delightfully emfashionable, as little
Jennie’s school friends thought, when they
now and then, spent the night with her.
There were delicious cold biscuits, white
and flaky, cold ham and in slices, quinces
preserved in sweet pure syrup, home-made
bread, crullers, richer and lighter than
ever came' from the baker’s, and golden
butter, stamped with an oak leaf. As for
the tea, the older ones who were epicures
in tea, praised it highly, and told Jennie
she had achieved a success. Very happy,
felt little Jennie, when tea being over, and ;
the family gathered for the eyening prayer,
and her mother drew her . to her side, and
and twining her arm; around his waist,
drew the brown head down upon her
shoulder, and whispered, “My darling,
you have been good—have 'you not been
happy?”
“Yes, another,”, said Jennie, smiling,”
“ almost as happy as if I' had gone to
Kittie’s, and had a good time with the
girls. And somehow, I’m happier now,
because I tried to conquer my angry feel-
ings;”
“That’s the way always my darling.
Duty puts on a hard face, and looks
sternly at us now and then, but she al
ways brings us out at last, into pleasant
and flowery paths.”
Mr. Wayne conducted the worship that
evening, and read one of Jennie’s favorite
Psalms, the one hundred and twenty-fourth:
“I will lift up mine eyes to the hills, from
whence cometb my help: my help cometh
from the Lord,’ r &c.
Softly "and'/ sweetly fell" those words,
spoken so long ago by the sweet singer of
Israel, arid Jennie tried to feel that they
were her own. Then they joined in a
hymn of praise, and afterwards knelt,
while the father of the family committed
his household to the c,are of God, and
asked pardon and protection and the Sa
viour’s gtace;,,for its every member.
How sweet to see a family .thus ga-,
thered, night and momirig, before the
mercy seat. The church in the house!
the fireside altar I the foretaste of the
heavenly home, where the family of the
redeemed, gathered from all lands and na
tions, shall at last kneel, and together cast
their crowns at Immanuel’s feet.
CHAPTER H.
Next [morning, Jennie was up, bright
and early, preparing her lessons for school.
Nine o’clock comes very quickly on a
morning in mid-winter, and Jennie found,
she had learned her spell
phy, it was the breakfast
yS\nd when breakfast was over, the
>iSds of the clock pointed to eight, and
school was nearly three quarters of a mile
off. So she dressed herself neatly, and
put on her little brown cloth cloak, her
white fur tippet, scarlet worsted hood,
and india rubber boots, and taking her
dinner basket in her hand, was ready to
start for school. Her heart would have
been as light as a feather, but for that
“long arithmetic” lesson, with its hard
examples which Jennie thought she could
"never perform and which lay like a dead
weight in her bosom now. She lingered
by the door, and her father who was
reading the morning paper observed that
she had a petition to prefer. ,
“ ( Well,' rosebud bloom, what is it: you
want,” said Mr. Martrn, who,had no end
of pet names for his only daugher.
“Father,” said Jennie coming.up close
to him, and laying her little hand coax
ingly on his shoulder, “ won’t you give me
an excuse for my arithmetic lesson ? I
don’t know a word of it, and Miss Pomeroy
will be sure to mark me deficient, and de
prive me of recess.’’
“In what rule are you ciphering,” said
Mr; Martin. -
“ In addition of fractions.”
“ Has Miss Pomeroy explained the les
son to you?”. '
“ Yes, father; but think what a long les
son—five pages to commit to memory,
word by word, and twenty-two examples
to perform. It is the second time we’ve
had it though, and you can’t convince
Miss Pomeroy that reviews-are hard ; she
says, if we baow the first lesson.perfectly,
we need only look over it tlfe second
time.” .
: * “ I quite agree with your teacher,” said
Mr. Martin; “ but p will give you an ex
cuse,dear, if you really think you ought to
have one. You know that my rule and
its ' conditions about excuses,* is very
much like that;of the Medea and Persians
of bid, and is ; not subject tp change;
Sickness is .the first reason for. an' excuse;
and that, yohr rosy cheeks andibright eyes
forbid you to plead; but if you had ho
time to prepare the. lesson, I’ll: excuse
you!” * ■
Jennie laughed^,;
“ I had "plenty of time, papa, before I
wenit; to bed. ,last .night, but. I forgot ’all
about my lesson, bo I’ll go to school now;
aiid -throw myself on Miss Pomeroy’s
mercy.” ,
Jennie had only gone a little way, pick
ing her steps daintily through the snow,
when she heard a voice behind her; call
ing her name fondly Turning, she saw
her brother Horace.
“Halloo; Jennie, ain’t this a glorious
morning I splendiferous ! Want a ride
on. my sled ?” ' 1 .
Gh ! yeß, indeed, brother. Here I am,
bag and baggage. Did you have a nice
time at grandma’s ?”
“ Guess I had! Grandma let the Bruces
come over last night, and Tom Bruce and
I are making a great big ship, to sail in
the duck pond, A fellow has good times
at grandma’s, I tell you ! Why, we lit
tered up the kitchen floor with whittlings
and scraps,-until aunt Jane was quite pro
yoked; but grandnia said, never mind. Janfe,
it’s only clean dirt. Hold fast there
Jennie!” .' :
Jennie tried .to. hold fast, but in vain,
the sled flew on, leaving her 'floundering
in a great heap pf snow. .
“That’s .the way with girls,!’said Ho
race* with boyish contempt, as he helped"
his laughing sister to shake the soft sriowi
from her cloak and hood.
“No harm is done,” said Jennie, “ but I
must run, or be late.”
Miss Pomeroy’s school stood on the
bank of a river.' Her residence was in
front, and the school house, an oblong
building, white with green shutters, stood
at the back On one side, its windows
looked out upon a garden, in summer
gay with flowers, and even in winter,
looking trim and pretty with its hedges of
box and evergreen trees here and there.
On the other side, there was a large and
pleasant play-ground, and at the hack of
the school house, green banks sloped down
to the winding river of A——-, which
gently murmcred . along, past meadows
and forests and tbwns, turning mill-wheels
here, and giving drink to the thirsty there,
till all at once, a precipice surprised it on •
its tranquil way, and foaming, dashing,
playing, singing, with: wild tossing of
spray, arid rushing of wave, it fell into the
dark bosom of the rocks beneath. Many
a school girl, looking put from the pleasarit
seats commanding the river, found sunriles
for her compositions, in the flow of the
waters, so hushed and still here, a little
farther on so stormy and wild.
Jennie’s own particular teacher was
not Miss Pomeroy, but her younger sis
ter, Miss Eva. The academy was pre
sided over by the older Miss Pomeroy,
and her, sisters, Misses. Catherine and Eva
assisted her. Miss Catherine taught the
composition and botany classes, and, pre
sided over the penmanship, drawing, and
needle-work; Miss Eva took charge of the
PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY >B, 1864
lower classes, while Miss Pomeroy super
intended the progress of the older pupils,
oryoung ladies. Faithful and conscientious
in the performance of their duties, striving
to educate their pupils, not only for this,
but for another world, bringing to the
task high excellence of talent and charac
ter, cultivated minds, and a love of the
work, for its own sake, the pupils of these
ladies were highly favored.
As Jennie reached the school door, she
bethought herself of her “lint,” and peeped
into her satchel to see if it was there, _Yes,
there it nestled, white and pure as the
fallen snow, in among Jennie’s books, and
other treasures, for this was sewing day,
and she was constructing a wonderful
crotchet purse; of silk and beads, for her
mother, which purse wasi at home, a pro
found secret.
Ab she opened the door, she saw that
school was not yet in. Some of the more
studious girls, were at their desks, taking
last peeps at their lessons; one young
lady was. drawing a map upon the black
board; groups of girls gathered here and
there,' earnestly talking, and several of the
new comers were standing by the stove,
warming their hands. None of the
teachers wore yet present, but therts was
only; a ■ subdued hum in the school room,
and no confusion or rudeness was to be
seen. The scholars were on their honor
whenever left alone, and were directed to
do nothing in the school room that would
not be quite correct and proper in their
parlors at home.
Jennie Martin was a favorite, at school,
and as soon as she opened the door, her
name was pronounced by a half-dozen,
eager voices, and two or three little girls
advanced to- meet her. Kittie Redpath
rushed towards her, threw both, arms
around her neck, and kissed her as if they
had not met for a month. On all;sides.
were voices telling of the joyful time of
yesterday,' and loud regrets. that Jennie
had not been there, , „
■ :l, It waß too bad !” s'aid Emma liillefe'
“Mrs. Redpath was so kind, and we had
oysters for ' supper; and fruit cake, and-
Kittie’s father showed us the Magic Lan
tern, and her sister Ella played for us/*—
oh!; Jennie, I’d have cried my eyes opt .if
I’d had to stay home.” . >:t nr
• “ I pitied you,” said Mary Bruce “ moping
at home. there, all. by yourself; I’d have'
bundled, up my brother and• brought him
along; rather than stay. ' Confess now,'
Jennie, were you not'as blue as indigo all
the afternoon ?” ' ‘ . *;
“No 1” said Jennie, candidly, “I really
was quite contented and happy. I was
doing my duty, and you know our copy
book maxim is, Duty brings its own re
ward.”
The prettiest girl in the school, was
Jemima called Mima usually, “for.
short.” She had long thick ringlets of
golden hair, deep violet eyes, with long
sweeping lashes softly fringing her roseate'
cheek. Her complexion was soft and
pure, and.hermouth was a tiny little but
ton. wheh shut—opening when she smiled,
over teeth like pearls. But, for all her
beauty, Jemima was no favorite at school.
From her cradle, a spoiledd child, she was
so apt to say unkind things, to perfqrrh
sejfish acts, that whenever an unkind or
;selfish act was heard of in school, the girls,
not knowing the facts, would at once set.
; it down to Mima’s account. When Jennie
said, therefore, that she had enjoyed' hef
self at home, .Mima replied in a sneering
way: ; 1 -v"-;-"
. “ Hear , the little saint! ' Don’t you think
she’s smart now ? - Where’s my grandma’s :
cap arid spectacles, for the young . lady
that’s done her duty.”
Nobody likes to be made fun* of," and
Jennie was about to make an angry reply,
when one of the older girls, looking up
from her book, said,
“Oh I for shame, Mima ! How can you
be so unkind ! Never mind her, Jennie I
If she don’t mend her manners, I’ll make
Sophy leave her out at the next party;
it’s to be at our. house, remember Miss
Malapert.”
Mima blushed, but did not say anything
in • return, for Miss Catherine had come
in, and taken her seat. Miss Eva .was
standing near the door, talking with one
of the senior class, and presently Miss
Pomeroy herself came in and glided softly
np the room to her desk.
One, two, three strokes of the tiny silver
bell, and the room was so hushed, that
the sound of a dropping pin could have
been heart on the floor. Nearly every
pupil was in her place, and the door was
closed, so that none could enter until the
opening services were concluded.
. Miss Pomeroy read a hymn, which the
children sang sweetly.—■
Ye radii nt soldiers of the cross,
Ye happy praying band,
Though in this world ye suffer loss,
Press on to Canaan’s land.
All earthly pleasures we’ll forsake,
When heaven appears in view,
In Jesus’ strength we’ll undertake,
To fight our passage through.
Oh! what a glorious shout there’ll be,
When we arrive at home.
Our friends and Jeans we shall see,
Arid God shall say, “ Well done."
The chords of this hymn, which is sung
to. a quick martial tune, is the following,
and I never heard it sung, or sing it my
self, without being thrilled to the very
soul:
Let us never mind the scoffs and the
frowns of the world,
For we’ve all got the cross to bear.
It will only make the crown, the brighter
to shine,
When we have the crown to wear.
LITTLE HANDS; OE, WHAT CAN
YOU DO?
A little girl, whom we will call ;lucy,
stood looking on one day, while her mother
and some other, ladies, packed -a Box to send
to one of the hospitals. One after another,
the things went in, sheets, and quilts, and,
slippers, arid flannel shirts, and socks.'. '
i : “ Well, daughter," said Lucy’s mother,
“ don’t you - want ; to put' in something,
too?”
-Lucy considered.
“Why, mamma,’’"she . said* “I haven’t
got anything that.l love very much except,
my paint-box.” For Lucy thought that, it
was bard to find anything good enough- for
the soldiers. ~ ...
. Her mother said nothihg, and the pack
ing of the box-went on. But presently
Luoy erept away; up-stairs, and came 'back
with her dear paint-box. ' : ~
: “ Here, mamma,” she: said, “ please put
this in.” So the little paint-box, was- stow
ed away between two flannel shirts,- and
the box was nailed up and sent away.
■ Now the hospital, to -which this box was
sent was but a few miles from Lucy’s hoirfe;
and, in the hospital was a wonnded soldier
who had lost one hand. And hour"after
hour he lay there, with nothing to do, very
weary and in pain. They brought him little
Lucy’s paint-box, and you oa'nnot gu’ess
what a comfort-it was to him. I suppose
he had been fond of drawing before, ahd
now he amused himself all' day long with
the paints and brushes. And do you think
Lucy’s mother gave her another paintbox?
Not so; she did something mneh.- better
than that. For every now and then * she
took her little daughter down to the hospi
tal, and let her. see-the soldier at work/and
let her talk to hint, apd belp'him; telling
him how she used to make her pictures;'siri A
seeing how ho made his. ' ' ; "
Willie is a little hoy who has’-been, ill a

THE FAMILY AND SOOIETY.
„ It were better to discard every other
agency in our efforts to save the nation and
the wprld, than the Family institution. If
its radical power ’ be not invoked, alt. our
toils-and sacrificea will bo futile. If the
children be .not.looked after,, and eduoated•
and trained at home in their early years, im
the fight way, in vain will the State seek
to guard their moyals 'and prosper them,
and the Church' strive to win ’them"‘to'
Christ. ; : . .. The Family no longer oc
cupies that high and sacred position which,
it did in the earlier days of our history.
There is. less ot reverence and importance
attached to it. .There is less attention and'
pains given to the cultivation of the home
virtues, and the'Wise training and develop
ment of 'under the fosterin gin-,
fluence of parental'.love. - Family instruc
tion and family religion are not so faithful
ly attended to . The reins of family gov
ernment-are: slackened. Parental authori
ty is, not exercised and represented as' it'
once was'.: The itifluence of : home is less,
potential bn ; character .and much ofiW
sanctity is gone!" .Society—a mddernVjtmt
expressiye. wofdTr-rljui*. come,, in a great -de
gree, to take, its place,rand exercise its pre
‘rOgatives.-!: What the Family once was tp-'
man—-his intructor, his life, his solace and
power—Society has grown to be. Society
has.come to overshadow the ..Family and.
dictate opinions arid laws to the world.
Society is the one idea which now early
gets posession of the mind.-- Society; is the
influence which moulds opinions, and
shapes character. Education has come to
be essentially faSed on the tastes and max
ims which prevail in Society. The family
life is regulated by Society. Society-forms
the marriage contract, disposes of our chil-.
dren, and settles the grave questions in
volved in life arid duty: Society steps ini
between the parent and the child, and over
rules parental fear and love, and' the max
ims of the Bible, and the lessons of provi
dence, and decides how the family power
shall ; be exercised; to : what ■ ends and on
what principles our children shall be trained.
In instances without number, the hearts of
the fathers are not tarried to the children,
nor the hearts of the children fo their fa
thers, but both to society. There are tens
of thousands of families in our land to-day
who have no such head, distinct, personal,
and responsible, as God ordained in 'the
Family arrangement; they have really no
father, no mother but Society. Society,
owns them : society educates them; society
forms their principles and habits; society
directs their; aims and disposes of them.
The father virtually vacates his sacred office
for a usurper to fill. The mother hands
over her infant to'a ! stranger to bring up;
and it often draws its nourishment, its life’s
blood, not from the mother, but from an
alien. Society invades the nursery with
its false ideas, anil superstitious stories, and
artificial training. Childhood and youth
hear only of society, and are taught to think
only of society; and mind and heart are de
veloped mainly With reference to society.
A fashionable education is given them, i. e.,
they are unfitted for home duties, and edu
cated to play their, part genteely: in society.
And when their education is complete they
are" given over to society, and given up to it.
And what can be expected of those who
have received such a training ? Where is
the Family institution, with its sacred rela
tions, and holy influences, and moulding
forces, in such a state of things? What
sort of home influence will such persons
carry with them into life ? What sort of
husbands and wives, fathers and mothers,
citizens and patriots, will they make ? Can
the Church of Christ thrive in the midst of
such a .generation? Will the bonds of
social order and virtne be kept strong?
Will the.sacred duties of life be discharged
by them? Will not God “smite, with a
curse” for such things l—Rev. J. M. Sher
wood.
THE COLD WEATHER.
'The statements which have been reach
ing us from the West relative to the ex
traordinary cold weather which setup there
about the close of the year would seem fa
bulous were they not corroborated from
nearly every quarter of that vast region, ,
and somewhat supported by what hasbeeri
experiencedieven along the Atlantic coast;
At St. Paul,.Minnesota, the highest range:
of the thermometer during the three first,
days of January was ten degrees below
zero, antfinost of the time it was between
twenty and thirty-'below, On : the morn
ing 'of the. 3d, at: 9 .o?Qlock, it was thirty
degrees below, and in the night it was
thirty-eight.‘ l At Fort Snelling, the ther
mometer was fifty degrees below zero.
At Milwaukee, Wis., for the forty-eight
hours, previous to the 2d inst., the mercury
ranged from thirty to thirty-five degrees
below zero, with a driving wind most ter
rible to encounter. People had their ears
and feet frozen while going but a few
blocks, and many persons were, picked up
in the streets insensible from the effects, of
the cold, ■ Numbers of employees on- the
railroads were, badly frozen, and crippled
for life. At Madison, Wis,, it, is reported
that, on New Wear’s day, the thermometer
stood at " thirty-four degrees below zero,
and, on the 2d'inst., at thirty-nine'degrees
below, while at the Harvey. Hospital,! in
that place, it is asserted that “the mercury
congealed!”
: The sufferings of passengers on the va
rious railroads in the North-West were
unparalleled. The engines froze up, the
tracks became impassable, th 6. fuel. gave
'out, and food' was, exhausted. , As _ they.
traversed the vast prarids, or were 1 showed
in on their, boundless stretches, remote
from towns and assistance, their condition
was most deplorable, Fences were torn.,
down' for fuel, but the stoves, e.ven when
heated tb ; ' redness 1 , appeared t& make iib‘
uripressiori, 'even for a few feet, upon the
rigid, air, to which new accessions, ;of >crild
were added by, the ...shrieking
. and penetrating blasts of the tempestuous
Wind.; On the Michigan' Central Railroad,
: a transfer was made of the chilled passen
gers Of ope of its trains, to a train on the,
..Jdicbigan .Southern Road,. and,_ although
distance 1 to be fravprsed on foot, be
tween the tVvo, was* ! 3OO feet, the
Sddne was'a terrible one. ’ Says ariac
count: “The snow had drifted deeply;'
the .yind was sweeping the snow and frost
over the pathway like a storm, of,grape-,
shot; strong men fell down by the way
benumbed and frozen; women dropped,
unable to step, and were earned into the
carS insensible; children were rescued,
half frozen; and, almost all were.marked
by /white’and deeply frost-bitten ears,
hoses, faces, and hands. As the .frozen
passengers reached the‘ cars* that awaited
them the scene beggared description’: mo
thers were, separated from their children;
people with frozen members pushed out
Again into, the tempest for snow tp, lave
their face and hands and those of the suf
fering women arid children; 'children were
crying, women inoanmg and fainting, and
men shoutingou paroxysms of anxiety arid
alarm. Qne child about. three years 01d,.,
though carried.in the open air only 300
1 feet, hid'his arin hoveled with frost blotches
from tbe wrisf to the'elbow.' ’ ;
“A railroad conductor who did not know
thatihis feet were frozen; when,he reached
a heated, room, found t.hat., both had suf
fered,;>nd he will probably lose the use of
ori.y 'forever! In’ Chicago, a mother return
ing,, home 'ft>iind ! both" her children; two
Jioys, of jfive ! and> two years; lying* dead;-
;t)n the floor lay the youngest, child in a
. heap:of snow; he was frozen stiff, and was,
of course, dead. The eldest hoy lay on
the bed ; .h 6, too ; , was dead, but not quite
hold. :He had built a fire s against a trunk
which stood-near, and ,a hole was. burned
in its. side,; another; in the floor, and the
bedclothes had been on fire. He had pro
bably been asleep. The door'having been
left opeD, the room was filled'with snow;
and, on awakening, perishing with cold, he
found his brother . dead. ,He then closed
the door, lit a fire on the floor, and sank
down benumbed.”
i The cold has- also been extreme further
down the Mississippi valley, and a number
of white and negro soldiers were frozen to
death at the military postß.rr-J£vangeMsl. .
