The snow had begun in the gloaming And busily all the night Had been heaping field and highway With a silence deep and white. Every pine, and fir, and hemlock. Wore ermine too dear for an earl, And the poorest twig on the elm tree Was fringed inch deep with pearl. From sheds now roofed with Carrara, Came Chanticleer's muffled crow, The stiff rails were softeaed to swan's dow And still fluttered down the snow. I stood and watched by the window The noiseless work of the sky, And the sudden flurries of snow-birds, Like brown leaves whirling by. I th- . _ht of a mount in sweet Auburn. Where a little head-stoae stood— How 'he flakes were folding it gently As did robins the babes in the wood. Up spoke our little Mabel, Saying "Father who makes it snow ?"' And I told her of the good All-father Who cares for us all below. Again I looked at the snow fail. And I thought of the leaden sky That arched o'er our first great sorrow When the mount was heaped so high. I remembered the gradual patience That fell from that cloud-like snow. Flake by flake healing and hiding The scar of that deep-stabbed woe. And again to the child I whispered, "The snow that husheth ail. Darling, the Merciful Father Alone can make it fail. Then with eyes that saw not, I kissed her And she. kissing back, could not know That my kiss was given to her sister L-'i Med > :-e under deepening snow. WORTH OF A HOME. Better than gold is a peaceful home Where ail tne fireside charities come ; The shrine of love, the heaven of life. Holiowe mother, or sister, or wife. However humble the home may be, Or tried with sorrow by Heaven's decree, The blessings that never were bought or soli And center there are better than gold. iUt.BffiLiUfOiiii, NASBY.

Enraged at this interference the Deekin went before ."Squire Gavitt, complained uv Gabrel as a vagrant, and employed mc to attend to the case. Pollock, the Illinoy storekeeper, volunteered to defend the nig ■ ger. and there wuz a tremenjus excitement ; about it. I opined the ease by -tat,in that the nig ger? bhuus wuz to prove that he had visi I bie niewte of support; Pollock insisted that it wuz our businc"- to prove that he hedn t j but the court decided agin him. The nigger then swore that he reseeved from his eougrega.si.nu SSO per month for his services. I submitted that ez he wuz an interested party, other proof wood be required. Pollock introdoosed tiie elders ; of the zongr ni-hun, but I checkmated him | there, auhmittm that the testimony uv nig gers wuzn't admissible, wich the court de : ended it wuzn't. Irumejitely Pollock übmitted that wheth ! er or no hL- client coodent be considered a A LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWSPAPER, PEVOTEC To POLITICS, EDUCATION, LITERATURK AND MORAI.B vagrant, ez he eood testify himself to the fact that he (Gabrel) hcl in his house s2f in llreenbai —a sufficient support for a time at least. There wuz a immense escitement in the court. "Where duz he keep it?" asked the Squire, visibly agitated. "In his chist, at the house where he boards,'' sez Pollock. "This court stands adjourned for thirty minutes," said the Squire, Loundin over the railin in front uv him. "Hold on." sed he. '"hold on, Deekin, a fair start is ali I want. I>on't take advantage uv my age to get there first," and pell-mell over one another the entire audience, 'ceptin Pollock, the nigger and me, started on a keen run for the house. In a few mintts they return ed, pautin, and out uv breath, when the Squire called the court to order a-in. wieh beiu restored, he remarket! Ef it eood fee established that the nigger hed S3OO in greenbax it wood necessarily discharge him, ez no man with that sum eood be considered a vagrant: but he rath er thot that if the pri-ner at the bar shood look in the direction uv his house, he'd find it wuzn t there any more, ez a house, the the material uv wich it wuz built wuz lying around permiskus. likewise, probably, he woodn't be able to find the S2OO he hed in his chist.

Elihu Burritt. n->w in England, has just rubiished a characteristic treatise on "The Mission of Great Suffering-." which is rep resented in English papers as a work of sin gular interest. One says: 'lt discour-esot suffering, its mission and its power, with j wonderful profundity, intelligence and pa thos." In the la.st chapter, Mr. Burritt comes naturally to the tragic events of the i present day, among which an appropriate place is given to the life and death of Lin coin and produced an effect upon the foremost nations which no occurrence of that or other order have ever accomplished. It was an event that came in a moment with no pre monition. It was the sudden extinction of one human lite exeept its light. There was an honest hearted man who came up out of the commonest walks of the people, and was rai.-ed to the Presidential chair of the Amer ica republic to represent and execute its will The lifting up of that man to fill this high place split the nation in wader.

In a eer tain sense the people of the North might have said, he bore the iniquities of us all. For all who hated the northern cau.-e hit him and braised his spirit with their hard and cruel sayings. "In addition to ali this burden of reproach piled upon his shoulders, beeau-e they were higher than the peoples" whose he was and whom he served, his personal antecedents and associations were thrown in hi- face in •ill the epithets that ridicuh enuhl invent. Foreign satirists lampooned him with their witici.-ms and caricatured him with then pencils. Friends fell away and foe* fell uu him, as the sanguinary confiict went on from year to year.

He saw the wie rent in the nation closing. With a foa on either side, he stretched out his loot, guant arms and es sayed to press the tw> sections, like estrang ed sisters, to iu- brod and tender breast. "His was a great if'e, but his death was greater still —thegrotest, perhaps, that had moved the world fir a thousand years.

Then began the sublime tnushn of his death While those -unken eys were shining with the gladness of his oui at the glimpse given him as to Mores on 'is/ah s top, of the Canaan side ot his counry's future, in a moment their ligbc was tueuehed forever on earth.

Not discouraged by reverses of fortune, he left his eastern home and came to California, and failing to obtain a si mat in in the city a- he thought himself entitl d ro. he went into the moun tains and established himself a.a hunter and a trapper among the Sierras.

During the winter the -now fell to the depth of twenty eight feet, and a snow drift cov- ! ert.d Lis cabin twenty five feet bdow the sur face, and so great was the pre--ure that it required thirteen m issive timbers to support the roof.

At one timep when besieged -rurms. he was kept a prisoner in his. cafen for thirty-two days, the snow being at that time over four teen lent deep over the surrounding country. In 13' 1 he brnri fr-in -ome herdsmen who had been ranching their cattle in the mouu tains, that the • untry round about Meadow Lake abound' in lodges of - -.me k/od of metal, of what they were unable to tell.

A company of - makers in Berlin, led bv i some benevolent motive, formed a society and sign d a pledge ' They did not pro py nor promise to ah tain from the use of the weed, that would be too much to expect of a German smoker, accustomed to sea-/n with the fragrant fumes bia social chats < polities, literature, and metaphys teal gcieoce. fiut they pledge themselves to save th : tips of their segars, cut off pre paratory to smoking, and to sell them to the manufactnrers of chewing tobacco. The money raised in this way was to be devoted, under fixed regulations, to the education of orpnan children. At the present time, ai t In; ugh the project is of recent origin, the r< ceipta support twenty-two children in pro cess of education. Phis is an illustration of the power of ac~ •utnaiation. of the might >? littles. In view of such a fine example of economy and benevolence, one in our utilitarian age and country can hardly refrain from asking two questions of cariosity. First how ma ny children would these liberal smokers ed ucate, did they, instead of tips, expend the cost of the entire -eears on the object? And. seeond. does the society allow smoking among their beneficiaries, as a part ot their education ! Whether or not, the idea and the object of the society are wor "Vcf the originality of the German mind, and the tips are destined to a highly lauda ble end. A FIRST COI'SLTS HOTEL. What is that, pray? Let us tell you a story, reader, and then you will underhand the point o! the thing. A farmer living in the western part of Massachusetts applied to the proper authorities for a license to keep a hotel. It was replied, that he lived in a >v> e roui. and little traveled, and where en tertainments wore seldom asked for. "I know it, he answered. " and yet there is a considerate demand for horse feeding and single meals of victuals. The result was that his application wa.-granted. He raised his sign "entertainment for man and beast " and from that hour his traffic tell off. In two years time he disappeared from the landlords of the country and the sign was removed. Our informant asked him What ;n the name of common sense induced him to a-k for a license?" "'I had most excellent reasons tor the application. Before I raised my sign, I had lots of cousins, more than I nad any idea, to visit me. to feed their hors an 1 themselves over night. A soon a.- 1 hung out my sign, ray cousins begaa to fa!! off. and in a year or more m.body come to S; • itie. Keeping a hotel has killed that business If ever a m; i filled the idea of knowing how t.c,_ keep a 1: tel. as the cant pi,ra eL* that V> estern Massachusetts farm er did. Born and brought up at a forks of the road, just at a dinner distanc • from the town. we appreciate that story, and our hon ored father himself might have kept a hotel at no inconsiderable profit. A POPIXAB DAXIMi STORY. In the village of Kbberup. in Funco, fired a very wealthy farmer, who had gone one day w Assens with a load of barley; so one of his neighbors, a cottager, asked leave to go along with him for the sake of fetching home goods in the emDty cart. The farmer had no ejection, so the cottager followed cl.i . cart oa Piot, and, as it was a very hot day. lie pulled .ff his worsted stockings and wooden shoes, and duffed them under the barley in the 1r k f the cart. It happened to be on Sunday, and they had to pass close by a church on the road side. The man got a little way behind the cart. so that he could It was in the pulpit, vh'i vi'ry si'.*.' wis dri-1 hear a bit of the sermom MiP LM r P, an d j make u, to the cart again. He did not liKfe to go so far into the ehurch that the minister luld see him, so he stood inside the door. The Gospel for that day was about the rich man ar.d the beggar. Just as the traveler entered the church, the minister shouted ' ur. Bat what has become of the rich man? The Kbberup man thought that the minister was speaking to him, so he stepped forward and said, ' He drove on to Assens with a load of barley." No. thundered the minister, "he went to hell. "'Mercy on us!" cried the other, running out of the ehurch, "then 1 must look after my shoes and stockings! A GOOD Tm.NT;.—Ajokist. of Somerset.

Six of them uniform!!y appeared at the break fast table on eabbath morning, shaved, drepcd, and prepared for public worship, whicn they attended Loth forenoon and af ternoon. _ All become highly respected an 1 u.-.eful citizens. The other nine were ordi narily absent from the breakfast-table on .t a loath morning. At noon they appeared at the dinner-table shaved and dressed in a decent manner. In the afternoon they went out, but not ordinarily to church : nor were they usually seen in the place of wor ship. One of them is now living, and in a reputable employment: the other eight be came openly vicious. All these failed in business, and are now dead. Souse of them came to an untimely and awfully tragic end. Many a man pi ay say as did a worthy and wealthy citizen. "'The keeping of the Sab bath saved me."

TBE CRETAN LXSCRRECTIO.V. —The fol lowing extract from a letter written by a young Greek of education who is now" In A a.-hintrton, to a friend in Boston, will be read with profound and painful interest: * had very-ad letters from home. Nine oi my fellow scholars while in the college the university of Athen.- have been killed by the Turks. Three of them have been taken prisoners by the Turks and have been roasted at the fire. The Turks asked them to submit thorn-' Ives to the Sultan, and gi ve up the Christian faith, which they re f use Jof cour-e. The Pascha asked tc-ee u. >se three, and after he -aw them he asked them to .übmit to the Sultan attain, which they refused again; then he ordered his sol dier s to take them away, to make fire, to r< ist them, and give them to the dogs, which they executed immediately. They were young men of education and spirit, graduates of the university, and spoke as many language- a- I do. except Kngllsh and Arabic. Two of them practiced law and ne of them the civil engineering. They have died the death of the hero and they have slept their last sleep in the arms of Liberty." DOS'T COMPLAIN. —Don t eompiain of your birth, your training, your employment your hardships : never fancy that you could be something if you only "had a" different lot or sphere assigned to you. God under stands his own plans, and know- what you want better than you do. The very things you most deprecate as fatal limitations and want. probably what you most eouragement. are proba6iY , <?W : S dis nities, and it is nothing to dislike his med icines, or any certain proofs that they are poisons. No ! a truce to all such impatience. Choke that devilish envy which gnaws at your heart, because you are not in the same lot with others ; bring down your soui, or rather bring it up to receive God's will and do his word, in your lot, in your sphere, under your cloud of obscurity, against your temptation, and then you shall find that your condition is never opposed to your good, but really consistent with it.

If a youne woman would spend as much time in cultivating her mind, training her tem per. and cherishing kindness, tuercy. and other good qualities, as most of thera do in extra dress and ornaments to increase their personal charms, she would at a glance, be known among a thousand — her charaetsr would be read in her coun tenance. j.iivAiwfc utvir; "may be left to run wild in every sort of company and temp tations for several yeare. and then it will be time enough to break them in.

A BRIEF SERM<>N. —A Rochester clergy man made the following remarks in the pul pit on Sunday morning: "l am informed that a lady who attended a funeral in this church last Sunday lost in this house, as she thinks, a valuable breastpin. I hope that the 10-er wa- not a member of this con gregation: and that if any of you should be the owner of such costly jewelry, it would not be worn when you come to the house of God on the Sabbath, but that all would adorn themselves for such occasions in a meek 1 and quiet spirit. If any one has found the j Jost jewel, irhey are requested to leave the same with the sexton.' J.
