• Yes. conn- ill. ami hear Lunevs ioiUcs>imis.
said Mrs. Lawton.
Another lady, tin- sister of the bright, merry
MolUe came into the room. The ladies were the
onlv occupant of the lion*? itt that hour, if we ex
cept the servants, and having congregated, let me
describe them: Mrs. Lawton, the hostess, was n
brunette of tin- Itrilliant. nitty kind, and her sister,
who was onlv a year or two younger, Miss Meta
Hill, was like her in fare, form am. disposition.
Louise Hill, the visitor and cousin, was a blonde,
fair gentle and petite, who having just passed her
seventeenth birthday, was announcing herself as
engaged to lie married to Rolph Gottsletn, pro
fessor of languages in a German university.
.1 What is there to tell?” asked Lonise, with a
little conscious laugh, “We met. we loved ! There
is the whole storv in four words ”
“ Not a bit of it. Answer your elders, Miss
Hill," said Mrs. Lawton. “ First, who is he ?”
“ He is the only son of Rolph Gottsletn, of Wir
temberg, who was a professor of languages, as his
son is, only in a different place. He, my Rolph,
was left motherless when he was only Bve years old
and his sister Berta, only three, and they were ed
ucated, together by their father for fourteen years
Then he died, and having Been both liberal and
hospitable, he left his children without anv prop
erty but with a most finished and remarkable ed
ucation. Music, languages and sciences were the
atmospheres of their life; hut they were young, and
had lived a life almost recluse. Berta was taken
into the familv of her aunt, and Rolph then came
to America. 'He brought good letters from his fa
ther's old friends, and soon made a class of schol
ars in New York. For ten years he lived there,
and then came to our town, with the appointment
of professor in the college over which father pre
sides. He has been with us for a year.
“ And the sister ?”
“Berta married, and went to Berlin, hor
some vears they corresi>onded. Then her husband
removed to a more remote part o. Germany, ana
the letters were not so frequent. At last they
ceased, until within a few months, when Rolph
received a letter, telling him of Berta’s widowhood
and intention of coming to America with her little
girl Since then, he has heard nothing. She
may be waiting to send him word exactly when to
expect her, or she- may have started, and be on her
! wav.”
“ What is her name?’
“I never heard him call her anything but
Berta, and I never inquired her husband’s name.
There girls, von have all the story. Now, it is
my turato question. What in the world, Mollie,
sent you out of town at this season?”
r" »Oh ! we are going to have a Christmas in the
English stvle. Harry can come down by the cars,
yon know,"every day; so ho allowed me to come
here last week'to get ready. I have sent out my
invitations for the twenty-fourth, to give every
body a day for rest, and the guests will stay till
after New Year, when wo all return to town to
gether. Write to-day, Louey, and ask Rolph to
join ns. It is holiday time.”
“Oh! yes, he will be delighted to come.—
Where is Will, Meta ?”
Oh! he comes up and down with Harry, said
Mrs. Lawton. “Yon must haves doable wed
ding, girls. When, Louey ?”
“Next spring. Shall you have a house full,
Mollie ?”
“ For the week there wilt be twenty or thirty,
and on Christmas Eve we give a ball. Ho\V it
i snotvs! I meant to go to Dayton to-day for some
NOTICE.— 1 would hereby notify those trifles that were forgotten in town. Bnt we must

Through swamp* and creek, and reedy fen.
Marched the bronzed troops of gallant men.
Where the stained brooklets ran.
Jove! how the crimson currents swell,
The sky (teems an exploded shell.
And rings like a Plutouion hell,
That shakes the earth and sea.
On neighing chargers strong and fleet.:
Through the gray smoke and stifling heat,
Like (Htgiy waves the armies meet —
Freedom and slavery?
When th« dun smoke had roiled away :
When from the sky came down the day

Were sweltering in the sun.

What is it?” ,
*• Suppose it sho'Ud be a child lost in the snow!”
“ Stop, John,” cried Mrs, Lawton. “ Come,
girls, we will get out and see.”
A child lost in the snow! Aye, a little child,
crouching down near a deserted house, her arms
round the nick of a dog. her face hidden in her
I*llll' dress, mul her wailing cry growing weaker
with each repetition. They found her very soon,
tor the dark stuff of the dress was distinct as she
lav on the cold white snow bonk. Lunev’s cloak,
was off in a moment, and Mrs. Lawton raised the
1 shivering form from its cold bed.
My child! my poor child! how came you

The little one looked up gratefully at the kind,
tender voice, but only shook her head, sadly.
" Stic must lie a foreigner, Mollie,’’ said Meta.
•• Try French. 1 '
The question in French was succeeded by one
in Italian, hut only the sad negative was an
swered.
•• Mv stock of German is very scanty,” said
Louev : “but it will do no barm to try."
One word onlv fell on the little girl’s ear, and the
dark eye kindled and the pale face flushed with
keen pleasure.
■ Yes. yes, lady,” she said, eagerly, in German ;
" Maria is German.”
•• How came you here ?”
“Maria walked from New York.”
"Walked 1 Why, it is twenty miles.”
“Yes; Maria started yesterday.”
" Take her to the carriage, Louey, and we can
talk on the way home. I must postpone going to
Dayton till afternoon, and make this poor child
comfortable. Come, little one."
But Maria clung to Louise, not heeding the re
quest in a strange language.
,Louise was hut little skilled in Gentian; yet by
dint of attention she made out the child’s story.
Her name was Maria Berkmann, and she had come
from Germany in the summer, with her mother,
who died on the ship before they reached New
York. One of the other emigrants had taken
Maria because she could sing, and made her go
out with a hand organ to sing in the streets. The
little girl showed the welts on her neck and arms
where a cruel hand had strapped her for any de
ticieiu v in the supply of pennies, and told how she
had nm awav to walk back to Germany ; but the
miow storm covered the road, and she was tired
and cold, and thought she would sit down in the
miow. an 1 ]K*rbaps God, would take her to heaven,
to her dear, lost mother.
Mollie’s generous heart suggested every eom
lort. and Louey s imperfect German conveyed
some consolation’to the jioor little wanderer. Af
ter a hearty meal, she was put into a warm bed,
, uud soon forgot her troubles for a time in a sound
After some deliberation, the ladies decided to
1 keep her until Rolph came, to see if he could find
! some clue to her relatives or friends, and return
Micr to them. Everything about the child de
noted her claim to a' place in a good circle. Her
beamv was delicate, her hands and feet small and
perfect, her accent pure, and her manners gentle
and graceful. No mark of coarseness or low
breeding showed any fitness for the trade she had
pursued after arriving in New York, and her quiet
look at the handsome bouse and furniture, and
ease at the well spread table proved that such a
home was not entirely new to her.
“ Rolph will lie here to-morrow; so let her stay
with von, Louev. till he conies."
Loitev’s heart was already open to the child
who came from Rolph’s home, and she readily
consented to share her room with the poor little
stranger for the time before Rolph arrived.
The next day, however, brought not the ex
pected guest, but a letter saying that he could not
join them until evening. It was nine o’clock be
fore the train reached Dayton, and Mrs. Lawton |
drove over to meet the new comer. Maria was
lying in bed trying to mind Louise and go to
sleep, when the carriage drove up and she heard
the glad welcome given to Rolph. The tears
coursed silently down her cheeks, till, as the sad
ness grew too oppressive, she stole quietly to the
window, and sat pondering over her loneliness
and troubles. The moon shone down through
the clear glass, making the shadows dark, and the
light wierd and ghastly, and the child brought
memory to people the scene till her poor heart
seemed breaking. Her home, her mother, the
sea voyage with its trying incidents and desolation,
all rose vividly before her, and in sad connection
came the uncertain future. For two long hours
she sat mourning, till suddenly a sound fell on
her ear that brought the flush to her pale cheeks,
dried her tears, and started her, trembling, to her
feet. With a rapidly beating heart she groped
for her clothes, and with shaking hands arranged
her dress. , , . ..
Leaving her, let us look m on the family m the
parlor. Rolph, as the greatest stranger, comes
first He is a handsome man, with sad, earnest
eyes!, that light only when they rest on Louise.—
His fine face speaks of intellect and cultivation,
and his manners are courteous yet quiet. In a
verv little time the whole party were charmed
with their guest. ■ All restraint was thrown aside,
for thev were yet a family party, as the guests for
Christmas did not come until the next day. Af
ter some conversation, the gentleman opened the
piano, and several songs and pieces of music filled
up an hour pleasantly.
“Now, Rolph, it is your turn,” said Lomse.
“ Do von plav?” said Mollie.
“ Indeed he 'does, but I love best to hear him
sing. Sing my favorite, Rolph,” said Louise.
“ Her favorite,” said Rolph, “is a song my fa
ther wrote for my sister and myself. He was
passionately - fond ,of mnsic, and ntT mean com
poser, and when any event affected him deeply, he
would often give his heart voice in mns.c. After
mv mother died, he went one evening to the room
where my sister and myself lay sleeping, and
there he sang, as if by inspiration, this Frayer for
the Motherless.’ It was sacred to him, and he
never gave the music to any one. We were al
lowed to sing-it only when alone orwith him, and
it never passed my lips after he died, until I sang
it for Louise.” . , «* v
The symphonv was plaintive; but when Holpn
let his voice join the music every one of the listen
ers were spell bound. Not only the atr, hat the
deep rich melody of the fine voice, and touching
expression he gave to each word made the song a
praver indeed. He sang one verse, and then the
Soot behind him opened slowly, ana with a hushed
step, an eager yet sill face, Maria came in.—
Softly, her ej-es fixed on Rolph, she crept to his
side, and then suddenly, as If by an irresistible im
pulse, she poured forth a wailing volume of song.
Rich, clear, true, yet heartbreaking in It® emo
tion, her voice sang, unheeding that Rolph had
censed, and with white lips and quivering frame
was watching her. The last note died away.and
then with a cry of agony the child fell at Rmph's
“Take me home! Oh ! take me home!" she
sobbed. , t
« Child, child, where did you learn that songr
he cried, taking her up in his strong arms*
u ltls mamma’s tong. AH her own song* inn
told me once. Grandpa wrote it when her
mother died. Oh! shall I never see my mother!
Can I never go homo!” .
All the pent up agony of months was shaking
her frame now, as she lay sobbing in the arms
that shook so with agitation they conW scarcely
support even her light figure.
•■Tell me your name. Where is your mother V
said Rolph. ’ , ■
“ Mother died on the ship. My name is Maria
Berk maim.”
“ Berta's child! My child !”
It was long before Maria could realize that such
happiness lay in store for her. Her uncle, and the
sweet lady who hadTound her in the snow, promi
sing her home, love and care. It was too bewild
ering for belief.
There was a merry Christmas at Mrs. Lawton’s
but with some hearts prayers, at once sorrowful
and glad, sad, yet grateful, went up on that holi
dav. for the loved lost and the loat found.
THE DOMESTIC OPEB^
Since the night that Ike went to the opera, he
has been, ns Mrs. Partington says, as crazy as a
beci bug, and the kind old dame has been fear
ful lest he should become “ nohpompons mentus”
through his attempt at imitating the operatics.—
The next morning after the opera, at the break
fast table, Ike reached over his cup, and in a soft
tongue sang—
Will yon, will “yon, Mrs. P„
Help me to a cup often? .
The old lady looked at him with_ surprise, his
conduct was so unusual, and for a moment she
hesitated. He continued in a far more impas
sioned strain—
Do not, do not, keep me waiting,
Do not, pray, be hesitating.
I am anxious to be drinking,
So pour out as quick ns winking.
She gave him the tea with a sigh, as she saw
the excitement in his face. He stirred it in silence,
and in his abstraction took three spoonfuls of sugar.
At last he sang again—
Table eloths. and cups and saucers,
Good white bread and active jaws, sirs, y
Tea —gunpowder and souchong—
Sweet enough but not too strong,
Bad for health to eat hot biscuit,
But I’ll risk if—butter’ll fix it.
“What mean, my boy?” said Mrs.
Partington, tenderly.
All right, steady, never clearer,
Never loved a breakfast dearer,
I am not bound by witch or wizard,
So don't fret your precious gizzard.
“But, Isaac,” persisted the dame. Ike struck
his left hand on the table, and swung his knife
aloft in his right, looking at a plate upon the table,
singing—
What form is that to me appearing? - ■
Is it mackerel or is it herring?
Let me dash upon it quick, .
Ne’er again, that fish shall kick— .
Ne ’er again, though thrice as large—
Charge upon them Isaac, charge!
Before he had a chance to make a dash upon
the fish, Mrs. Partington had dashed a tumbler
of water into his face to restore him to “con-
scientiousness." It made him catch his breath for
a moment, but he didn't sing any more at the
table, though the opera fever follows him else
where.
Tbk Tubs of Life. —Between the ages of
forty and sixty, a man who has properly regulat
ed himself may be considered in the prime of life.
His matured strength of constitution renders him
almost impervious to the attacks of disease, and
experience has given soundness to his judgment.
His mind is resolute, firm, and equal; all his
functions are in the highest order. He assumes
mastery over business, builds up a competence on
the foundation he has formed in early manhood,
and passes through a period of life attended by
many gratifications. Having gone a year or two
past sixtv, he arrives at a standstill. But athwart
this is a viaduct call the “ Tarn of Life, around
which the river winds, and then beyond which, if
crossed in safety, leads to the valley of “ Old
Age," around which the river winds, and then be
yond without a boat or causeway to effect its pas
sage. The bridge is, however, constructed of
fragile materials, and it depends upon how it is
trodden, whether it will bend or break. Gout and
apoplexy are also in the vicinity, to waylay the
traveler, and thrust him from the pass; but let
him gird up his loins and provide himself with a
fitter staff and he may trudge in safety with per
fect composure. To quit metaphor: the “Turn
of Life" is a turn either into a prolonged walk or
into the grave. The system and powers, having
reached their utmost expansion, now begin to
either close in like flowers at sunset, or break
down at once. One injudicious stimulant, a single
excitement, may force it beyond its strength •
whilst a careful supply of props, and the withdrawal
of all that tends to force a plant, will sustain it in
beautv and vigor until night has entirely set in.

Among the patients in the general Hospital, at
Philadelphia, is a secesh soldier. He was very

is recovering, his surliness begins to show itself in
a manner that his comrades don’t care about put
ting up with—at any rate from a secesh.
In the same ward with him is a Union soldier—
an adopted citizen, from the land of kraut. The
other day Union German said something.to secesh.
Secesh vouchsafed only in reply,
“ Go to ”
“Do vat?"
Secesh repeated his remark.
The German was not at all exasperated.
“Ah!” said he, “mine frien," yon ish too kind.
I cannot go to dat place.”
“ Whv not ?” . . ,
“ It ish now full. It ish very crowded dere.

EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS
BE SYSTEMATIC.
It will add more to your convenience and com
fort through life than yon can imagine. It savea
money. For a while it may be a little trouble
some, but you will soon find it easier to do right,
than wtong—that it is easier to act by role than
without one. '
Be systematic in everything ; let it extend to
the very minutest trifles; it is not beneath you.—
Whitfield could not go to sleep at night, i£ after
retiring, he remembered that his gloves and riding
whip were not in their usual place, where he 00013"
lay bis hand on them in the dark ' on any emer
gency ; and such are the men who leave their
mark for good on the world’s history It was by
his systematic habits from youth to age that Noah
Webster was able to leave the world his great
dictionary. “ Method was the presiding spirit of
h is life,” writes the biographer.
Systematic men are the only reliable men; they
are the men who comply with their engagements.
They are minute men. The man of system is
soon known to do all thist he engages to do; to do
it well, and to do it at the time promised; conse
quently he has his hands full. When 1 want any
mechanical job done, 1 go to the man whom 'I
always find busy, and I do not fail to find him
to be the man to do that job promptly and to the
hour.
And more, teach your children to be systematic.
Begin with your daughters at five years of age;
give them a drawer or two for their clothing;
make it a point to go to that drawer any hour of
the day and night, and if each article is not
properly arranged, give quiet and rational admoni -
tion; if arranged well, give an affectionate praise and
encouragement. Bemember that children as well
as grown-up people will do more to retain a name
than to make one.
-As soon as practicable, let your child have a
room which shall be its own, and treat that room
as yon did the drawer. Thus you will .plant and
cultivate a habit of systematic action which will
bless that child when young, increase the hies-'
sings when the child becomes a parent, and ex
tends its pleasureable influence to the close of life.
A single unsystematic person in a house is a
curse to any family. Pi wife who has her whole
establishment so arranged, from cellar to attic,
that she knows on any emergency where to go for
a required article, is a treasure to any man (my
experience, reader!) while one who never knows
where anything is, and when it is by accident found,
is almost sure to And it crumpled, soiled, or out of
order, such a wife as the latter is unworthy of a
name, and is a living reproach to the mother who
bore her.
B£&.A Singular story is related of an occur
rence in a cotton mill in Lancashire in 1787. A
girl put a mouse into the bosom of another girl
who bad a great dread of mice. She was instantly
thrown into convulsions, which lasted twenty-four
hours. The next day three more girls were thrown
into similar convulsions, and the follwing day six
more. A physician was sent for, but before he
arrived twenty-three girls had been seized’the same
way, and one titan who had boen employed in
holding them during the fits. The work in the
factory was stopped, and the idea prevailed that
some disease had been introduced by a bag of cot
ton, which had recently been opened. This con
viction spread through the country, and more
factories four or five miles distant were infected
although the workers in them had never seen any
of the original patients, but like them, were im
pressed with the belief that the plagne had been
caught from the cotton. The convulsions were so
violent as to require four or five persons to pre
vent the sufferers from dashing their beads against
the wall. The doctor bethought him of trying
the effect of electric shocks, and the application
was uniformly successful. As soon as a few bad
been relieved, and the disorder was thus shown to
be a nervous affection, easily enred, and not in
troduced by the cotton, no fresh case occurred.
Hazei.-btkd Gikls. —Major/Uoah said a hazel
eye inspires at' first sight a Platonic sentiment,
as securely founded as the rock of Gibraltar.—
A woman with a hazel eye never elopes from her
husband, never chats scandal, never sacrifices her
husband’s comfort to her own, never talks too
much or too little—always is an intellectual,
agreeable and lovely creataie.
We never knew, says a brother editor, of but
one hazel-eyed woman who was uninteresting and
unamiable, and she had a nose that looked, as we
Yankees say, like the little end of nothing whit
tled down to a point.
The gray is the sign of shrewdness and talent
Great thinkers and captains have it. In women
it indicates a better head than heart. The dark
hazel is noble in its significance, as well as its
beauty. The blue is amiable but may be feeble.
The black —take care. There’s thunder andlight
