OLD FOLKS
"I often think each tottering form •
That limps along in life's decline.
Once bore a beart as young, as warm,
As full of bile faults as mine?
And each has had its dreams of joy,
Its own unequalled, pure romance;
Commencing when the blushing boy
Fink thrilled at lovely sromfin's glance.
"And each could tell Ills tale of youth,
Would think its scenes of love evince
More passion, more unearthly truth,
That any tale before or since.
Yesi they could tell of tender lays
At midnight penned in classic shades,
Of days more bright than modern datys--
And maids more fair than modern maids
"O( whispers in a willing ear;
Of kisses on a blushing cheek ;
Each kiss, each whisper far too dear '
Our ntreleyn Ups to tiles or speak;
Of beaming eyes and tresses gay,
Elastic form and noble brow,
And foram that have all passed away,
And left them what we see them now.
And is it thus—la human love
rto very light and frail a thing?
And must youth's-brightest vision move
Forever on time's restless wing?
"Must all the eyes that now are bright,
And all the lips that told of bliss,
And all the forms so fair to sight,
Hereafter only come to this?
Then• what are all earth's treasures worth,
Uwe at length would lose them thus—
if all we value must on earth
Ere long must fade away born Per

CAN -r' COOK.
It is tt sad defect when young ladies are
incapable of directing their own servants
—shoes without soles, or wristbands with
out a shirt, are not more u Aeless than one
of these. One day shortly after his mar
riage, a young merchant went home, and
seeing no dinner ready, and his wife ap
pearing anxious and confused, asked:
. "What is the matter?''
"Nancy went off at ten o'clock this
morning," replied his wife, "and the
chambermaid knows no more about cook
ing a dinner than the man In the moon."
"Couldn't she have done it under your
direction?" inquired her husband, very
coolly.
"Under my direction! I should like
to see a dinner cooked under my direc
tion."
"Why so?" asked the husband, in sur-
FiZI2
"You certainly do not think I could
give direction," replied the wife; "how
should I know anythingabout cooking?"
I The husband was silent, but his look
of astonishment perplexed and worried
his wife.
"You look very much surprised," she
said, after a moment or two had elapsed.
"And so I am," answered he, "as much
surprised as I should be to find the cap
tain of one of my shipi unacquainted
with navigation. You don't know how
to cook and the mistress of a faintly!
Jane, if there is a cooking school any
where In the city, go to it and
,complete
your education, for It is deficient in a
very important particular."

MRS. 'BRENT'S CHRISTMAS.
BY nELLA F. BURTON
ft was the day before Christmas. Mrs.
Alrent stood at the window, drearily
watching the snow fall, as though neith
er summer's sunshine nor winter's snow
could ever more have charms for her. A
great sorrow had come to thiii pile, sad
eyed woman, and changed the glad sum
mer of life info the dreariest winter.
Last Christmas Eve how happy and
busy she had been. How impossible it
seemed to keep cc rtain articles from pry
jilt.; eyes and little meddlesome fbr.Ters
till the proper time for displaying them
arrived! How little arms went round
papa's neck, and red lips whispered elose
to his ears that he must "teep it se'tret,
but mamma had some slippers hided
away-for him." "T'rismas, and that San
ta K'ause, was going to bring her a dolly,
'cause she saw it in the clothes p'ess."
Mrs. Brent thought of these things
with an agony words cannot express, for
the little pet was done with all - earthly
things. Months before, when the Octo
ber leaves were piling the ground with
gold and crimson heaps, she had closed
her eyes and .gone to keep , her next
Christmas in heaven. There was none
left. She was the one pet lamb of the
fold, this little three-years-old girl that
they had made their idol. Oh, if and•
who read this are mothers who love their
little ♦tines with too tender, too all absorb
ing a love—Hi - Ink of it In time; set them
not up in your hearts before Him who
gave them to you, for the time may come
when you will waken to the fact that your
Idol was only clay ; beautiful clay, and
dear as the casket that held the gem so
dear to you—hut only clay after all. And
you combed out the fair hair for the log
time; how often you have' wished you
could keep it smooth a moment. Poor
mother, you can keep it smooth now;
the little restless head is forever still.
Close the dear eyes whose glance will nev
er woke you glad again ; fold the little
waxen hands That will never "bother''
you any more in all time to come. Close
the coffin lid, mother, lay your baby in
the churchyard, that never seemed'so fur
away and cold as now. Go hack to the
deserted house that will never be "home"
to you again; take up your "burden of
life again." You will see happy mothers
from time to time who have missed no
lamb from their fold—you will hear little
voices cry "mother" just as shy used,
whose lips are now so white and mute in
death. All this will be too much for you
sometimes, and you will cry oat in your
agony, but you have learned a lesson—
that it is not well to make yourself idols
when He has said, "Though shalt have
no other gods before me."
Mrs. Brent had been alone all the morn
ing.' All of her preparations for the mor
row were complete. Her husband, was a
minister, and she had prepared :many
gifts for his poor parishoners. As she
stood by the window in tier bonnet and
cloak, a brisk battle was going on in her
breast between duty and inclination. In
clination whispered, "St's at home ; go
up to the nursery and look over baby's
playthings—the things you gave her last
Christmas.. There - is no lit tie stocking to
fill to-night. You nerd notgo out," Du
ty said, "Go out and distribute your gifts.
You will then meet your husband with a
bright face instead of eyes swolen with
weeping. Go."
Duty had al ino4 prevailed; she moved
a step forwards, but the patter of little
feet to the hall arrested her. She listen
ed 'with bated breath; little bungling
hands turned the knob—hots natural
souhded—a little head peeped in, eurfS ,
and gOlden, hut matted and unkempt ; the
little hand that held the knob was purple
with. cold. She advanced unhesitating
ly into the room. "fs this heaven?—ls
my mamma here?"
Mrs. Hrent took one little Muni in hers.
—"Are you lost, little one? How came
so small a child as you, out alone ousuch
a day?"
"No, I'm not lost; I. live in that street
where the high steps go up. Ole Moll
sent me out to beg and I ran up the steps
and thought maybe they went to heaven.
My mamma is there."
Mrs. Brent thought of the little idle gar
ments up stairs, of the pairs of idle shoes
and stockings, as she looked at the numb
little feet, but her heart rebelled. "No,
no," she though t, "My darling's clothes, I
cannot give them away."
She took the child to the kitchen and
bade Bridget warraherand give hersomo
thing to eat, then wended her way up
stairs. Going into her own room, she
took off her cloak and bonnet, then went
into the nursery. There had been a - tire
there that morning, and the room Wail
waro3, and had the appearance of being
used every d There was a little chair
with a large doll in it, a Noah's ark with
part of the ani als set up in procession;
altogether the room looked as if the little
occupant had gone out for an airing in
stead of lying cold and coffined under time
winter snow.
Mrs. Brent took one little garment af
tor another. There were the little home
dresses, bright-colored and warm, with
the pockets full of little trinkets just as
she had left them—then dresses of softer
fabric and daintier make. She took out
with tender, caressing touch the soft little
stockings and dainty little shoes, and
with the thought of how busy and tireless
the little feet that wore them used to be,
how cold and silent now, she bowed her
head with au agonized prayer for help in
this terrible. trial. Peace came after
awhile and with her Sleep; and as she
slept she dreamed she saw her darling,
beautiful beyondexpression, in her heav
enly happiness. Her heart stood still as
the bright vision approached. The words
'came to her clearly, "Take in the little
wanderer in Allie's place, love her ssyou
loved me, keep her for your own." The
voles., the glow, the form faded, and Mrs.
Brent awoke to a new resolution. It
was only a dream, but It taught her a les
son.
She had been selfish In hersorrow, nev
er thinking that while applying balm to
the wounds of others she could heal, in a
great measure, her own. She gave up
and selected a suit of clothes and carried
them down stairs. Opening the kitchen
door she found the little girl asleep on
two chairs, with pillows brought from
Bridget's own bed. Bridget herself sat
before the fire with her ;ace buried in
her apron, sobbing.
"Why, Bridget:" was Mrs. Brent's
amazed ejaculation, "what's the matter?"
"Oh, Ma'am, she's so like—so
look at her, ma'am."
Mrs. Brent did look. Bridget had
washed the fair little face and combed
49TH YEAIL-NO. 13.
out the golden hair, but her hands, all
unused to such work, were too clumsy to
curl it, and it had gathered itself up into
little irregular curls around the white
temples. Ah, she was "like !"
"Bridget, go up stairs and build a good
fire In my room, and leave the nursery
door open, and ar the blitniets on poor
little Allies bed."
"What ever's 'some over the mlssus !
iihe spoke so cheery like; and it's the
tint time I've been allowed to go anigh
the nursery."
Something had "come over the missus."
She took up the little waif, washed and
dressed her without wukiug her. "Poor
little lamb, she is so tired !" then she car
ried her up stairs herself and laid her on
Al lie's little crib. Then she ;Tethered up
the playthings and put them away, closed
the door and went softly down stairs.
When Mr. Brent came home that eve
ning, the little purloin was bright with
tire and lamplight. Bridget was singing
in a high quavering key in the kitelien,
and Mrs. Brent sat by the fire filling a
little stocking with toys and sweetmeats.
"Annie, this is. wrung—it is sinful to
"No, it isn't wrong; you shall see why.
—Come up stairs."
So they kept the little wanderer, and
years4fterwank when the old house tang
with merry childish - voices, Mrs. Brent
found in this sweet elder daughter an in

VOLTAME ONSit:IMAGE. %
Voltaire said:--The mor^married men
you have, the fewer erinws there will he.
Marriage renders a man more virtuous
and more wise. An unmarried man is
hut half of a perreet being and it requires
,the other half to make things right; and
it cannot be expected that in this imper
feet state he can keep the straight path of
! rectitude any better than a boat with one
ear or bird with orie wing can keep a
straight course. In nine cases nut of
ten, where married men become drunk
ards,, or where they commit• crimes
against the'peaec of the community, the
foundation of these acts was laid in a
single state, or where the wile is, as is
! sinnetitnes the case, an unsuitablematch.
Marriage changes the current eta man's
feelings. and gives him a centre for his
thoughts, his atnetions and his acts.
Here is a home for the entire man, and
the counsels, the affections, the example,
-and the interest of his better half, keep
him from erratic courses, and from falling
into a thousand temptations to which he
would otherwise be exposed. Therefore,
the friend to marriage Is the friend to
society, and to his country.
CkZ''Many amusing anecdotes are rela
ted of the Rev. Joshua. Brooks, of Man
chester, England, a clergyinan of irrita
ble temper. Perhaps the following is the
best: The churchyard was surrounded
by a low parapet wall, to Walk along
which required nice balaneiug of the
body, and was one of the favorite feats of
the neighboringboys. The practice great
ly annoyed Joshua, and one day, while
reading the burial service at the grave
side, his eye caught a chimney-sweep
walking on the wall. This caused the
eccentric chaplain, by abruptly giving au
order to the beadle, to make the follow
ing interpolation in the solemn words of
the funeral service: "And I heard a voice
from heaven, saying—knock that black
rascal elf the wall!"
sEfe•A gentleman who recently put up
at a log tavern in Wisconsin, was awa
kened by a young man who commenced
a serenade thus:
"Oh Sully Rice,
I've calk.' you twice,
And yet'you lie and snore !'•
I pray you wake
And see your wake,
And ope to him the door; or the
window, I don't care much which,

It makes hut little difference
To either you or I—
