Alone I stood on the sanded shores
Ot a deep but rolling sea,
And heard the mule of distant oars
\ Come faint but merrily;
And as I gazed o'er the waves so blue

And •i*hiaperecl to me of a "better land.
He pointei to the gates of gold
Around yen shining dome,
And told of glories I'd behold
Within that blissful home;
Whei, lo !, as I stood in wonder bent,
He turned him fm the shore,
I caught one gleam* the snow whits sal
And stood 'lone as before—
Alone, alone, with the Moaning sea,
For the Dark had gone, or waited me.

for the reader than those given above.
Mother,] Home, Heaven 1 . the three beacon
lights of life's ocean. Far out over the drea
ry waste of waters, they shine with cheering
light to the storm-tossed mariner : and when
sorrow's dhrk cloud hides the blue sky, and
troubled 'raves rise higher and higher, war
ring with the winds, he steers his bark to
Memory's ksle, and carefully avoiding the bro
ken hopes ;that, like rocks, lie hidden beneath
e
the trench ous waters, rests his tired heart in
the golden rays of the starlike words, Mother,
Home, 1:1 yen ! Rudely may the waves dash
against the I rocky coast below him ; loud may
the winds'rar and qhant their solemn psalm,
and lightni ig may flash, and thunder roll, yet
he lingers calm and untroubled in time's old
castle, turning otter the records of the past,
and reading with serene eyes thedim prophe :
cies of the inure. Far back in those beauti
ful days of long ago he sees the form of liis
Mother, and feels the soft touch of her lips as
she presses] loving kisses on the baby brow :
or in the qt et of his loved Home, hears her
sweet voice as she teaches him, with closed
eyes and reverently folded kends, tko repeat,
"Our Father who art in Heaven ;" 'and then
looks far inea the pages of the distant future,
and fancies the time already at hand when he
shall anchorihis bark on the shore of Eterni

of the Heavenly city, or linger by the crystal
waters of theiri ver of life, with glad strains of
welcome to him from the angel hosts gathered
around God'S Throne.

A father o ce related to his children, the
following luoty : The governor of an island
was once balled to appear before his king to
give an; aceoiSnt of his stewardship. Those
friend§ in whom he most confkied, parted
with him at h bk . house : others went with him
to the ship, while many in whom he had
placed but little trust, and whom he scarcely
recognized as' friends, much to his surprise.
escorted him bn his journey, spoke for him,
and secured hin the favor of the king. '
"So man, - continued the father, "has on
earth three kind of friends whom he only
learns to knout arig,lit when he is called to
leave this world and render his account to
God. The first of these—gold and lands—
remain behind the second—friends and re
lations—go only to the verge of the grave;
the third—his good deeds—aecempany him
in his journey to the better land. and-are-with
Christ his advocate before the throne, and
purchase for him favor and pardon. How
foolish is man to prize so little here what will
constitute his Wealth hereaftors
A clergyman in an adjoining town, who is
being blessed with a revival of religion in his
church, went one evening to attend a neigh
boring prayer-meeting. The house was full,
and all present seemed deeply interested in
the exercises. At the close of the meeting he
invited those who desired to hold a personal
conversation with him as to the state of their
feelings, to remain. Quite a number did so,
and among them a "hardy son Of toil," who
we will call Mr. B. The good minister in his
round of conversation with each one, came to
him ; and upon enquiring the state of his feel
ings received the reply that he "felt happy."
"Ab, indeed, , '-' said the preacher, "I am re
joked to hear you say so ; may I inquire how
long you have enjoyed this happy frame of
mind "Perhaps, mostly since last week,"
said Mr. B. "Well, my friend," said the
clergyman, "to what particular events, cir
cumstance, or occasion, do you trace this hap
py change in your feelings ?" "Well, Mr.
minister," replied Mr. B. "I reckon, perhaps,
the news of the election of Mr. English for
Governor of the State of Connecticut, was
• bout the spot to start from." The minister
bit his lip and, passed on to the next.

The following beautiful sentiment, are from
Meister Karl Sketch Book, entitled the
"Night of Heaven." It is full of touchingten
derness :
"It is dark when the honest and honorable
man sees the results of years swept cruelly
away by the knavish, heartless adversary.—
It is dark when he feels the clouds of sorrow
gather round and knows that the hopes and
happiness in others are fading with his own.
But in that hour the memory of past integrity
will be a true consolation, and assure him
evep here on earth of gleams of light in hea
ven. It is dark when the dear voice of that
sweet child - Once fondly loved is no more hear, d
around in murmurs. Dark when the patter

New, York*opendent
"I saw a pile of knapsacks the other even
ing at the cottage on Fourth street; kuapaaCka
and haversacks left behind for safe keelig
by the boys who went to the front and narer
came back. The eloquence ( - 4 these worm
, eaten and moulded bags cannot be written.—
Here was a piece of stony bread uneaten, the
little paper of coffee, the smoked tin cup in i
which it had boiled so often over the fire on
the eve oftiattle.' There was the letter, seal-
ed, directA, and never sent, for the soldiers
could not always get even , a stamp. Here
was a letter half written, commenced "Dear
Mother: How I want to see you ;" "Dear ,
Mother: my time is nearly out." The rusty I
pen just as it 'was laid down in the half-filled
sheet by the gallant and loving hand which
hoped so soon to finish it. Here was a scrap'
of patriotic poetry, and inspired lyrics
.care
fully copied on sheets of paper tinted with
red, white and blue. Here were photographs
of the favorite Generals, and photographs of
the dear onewat home. Here were letters of
heart-breaking love, anti loyalty to duty, *l4
holy faith and cheer, written at home ; and here
' was the testament given him by the woman he
loved best, soiled and worn. For the Ameri
can soldier, if he rarely read it, still would
carry his testament as a dear talisman to save
him from harm. Dere were - those mementoes
of brave, living, loving life gone out. They
never came back ! The mourners at home do
non all know where they fell, or whether they
were buried. To one unfamiliar with the sol
dier'llife, these relics might mean little. To
me they, mean all love, all suffering, all hero
ism. I lbok on them, and again seem to me
the long line's of men file past, dust covered
and warm, on their way to battle. I see the
roads of Virginia shimmering in the. white
heat, lined with exhausted men lying down to
sleep and to die; after the last defeat ; hear the
cry of the wounded,`the moan of the dying ;
see the half-filled grave, the unburied dead.—
All the awful totality of war comes back. So.
too, do Imightly'days and, dauntless men.-
Peace walks among the Max time flowers,
and already our soldiers send almost forgot

A CLERICAL JOKE. \
Some time since, one of the most popular
clergyman in this vicinity had an exchtnge
with the pastor of a church 'some dozen miles
away, and feeling the need of exercise, start %
ed on Saturday to walk to his appointment.—
He was well on his way at noon, and, feel
ing an unusually good appetite, be halted at
a wayside farmhouse, and asked the good lady
if she could give him a dinner. She very pru
dently referred him to her husband, who was
digging potatoes in a field near by, and, in ap
plying to him, the clergynian Raid he was wil
ling to work to pay for his dinner, and picking
up a hoe, did his row in good style, till they
were summoned to the house. The farmer
observed that the stranger could handle the
hoe, and being short of help, he suggested, af
ter dinner, that he would be glad to hire to
help complete the harvest. The clergyman
said he did not know ashe could leave other
engagements, but if no one else was engaged,
the farmer might write to him in a week or so,
sad ha should have an answer. The farmer
agreed, and asked for his address, and was
told to direct to Rev. Kr. , of
The astonishment of the worthy couple can be
imagined; and the apoligies were far more
profuse than coherent. The clergyman decla
red no apology necessary, and, after inviting
his new friends to attend church and hear him
preach next day, he went on his way.— Wor

"TOO DUCH DITTO."
In a small village in New England lived an
old chap, who, though very wealthy, did not
possess a good education, as also did act his
Wife. Ile purchased most of his household
goods at a dry goods and grocery star. in the
village, and at the end of the year the - bnl was
presented for payment. On one occasion in
looking it over, he observed the word "ditto"
occurred frequently. On reaching ;home he
said to his wife :
"What have you been doing with so much
ditto this year ?" showing her how it stood on
the bill. "I haven't bought any, and what
have you been doing with so much:'
"I haven't bad a bit," she replied.
"You must have had it," he returned, "for
M. always deals honestly by me, and here
it is on thu bill. You can see for yourself."
"I don't care if it Is; I haven't had any.
and 31. has cheated you I always said he
would." 71
"Well, then I must see about it,' he repli
ed. So he trudged back to the stare.
Look here, M., what do you mean by char.tr,

When the old gentleman returned home, his

LITTLE THINGS
The preciousness of little things never was
more beautifully expressed than in the follow
ing 'c
Little marten boxes of homes are generally
the most happy and cosy little villages are
nearer to being atoms of a shattered paradise
than anything we know of: and little foitnnes
bring the most content, and . little hopes the
least disappointment. Little words are the
sweetest to hear little charities fly farthest,
and stay longer on the wing; . little lakes are
.the stillest, little hearts the fullest, and little
farms the best tilled. Little. bobks are he
most read, and little gongs the most loved.—
And when nature would make anything espe
cially rare and beautiful, she makes it little,-
little pearls, little diamonds, little dew's. Ev
ery body calls that little they love best on earth-
We once heard a good sort, of a man speak of
his littlewife, and we fancied that she must
be it perfect little bijou of a wife ; we saw
her, and she weighed 210 pounds ; we were
surprised; bnt,,then it was no joke; the man
meant it; he could pnt his wife in pia heart,
and lave room , for .9therthings beside; and
whit was she but little? "loch in little is the
great beauty of 14.1 we love best, hope for most
andremember the longest.

But, reader, there is a "good .Nigh:•; that
contains a deeper atea.ning than then. Vim
the lug pad "Good Night" of life, when, like a
tired wanderer, the spirit bids farewell to
earth. Yes, it is the night of death that 4n
gm 'round ourtgarling footsteps. Yet,
blessed thoughtyt t when the last • "Good
Night" has been. said, it is not an "eternal
sleep" irs take ; but only a peaceful Slumber
while the spirit soars to heaven. Aye, only
a dreamy sleep, for faith whispers that a
"glorious morn" will come to the gentle sleep
er when the spirit enters a lovelier elhno
than this. •
Good night !
May the great one afore
Look down on all in love :
Till we gather round His Thrum,
Where "farewells" are unknown.
Good night !
Whatever you wish your child to be, be
yourself. If you wish to be happy, healthy,
sober, truthful, affediionate, honest andgodly,
be yourself all these. If you wish it to be lazy
and sulky, and a liar, and a thief, and a drun
kard, and a swearer, be yourself these. You
remember who said, "Train up a child in the
way he should go, and when he is old he will
not depart from it" 'And you may, as a gen
eral rule, as soon expect to gather grapes from
thorns, and Mg! from thistles, as to get good
healthy, happy children from diseased, and
lazy, and wicked parents. Be always frank
and open with your children. Make them
trust you, and tell you all their secrets. Make
them feel at ease'with yoti, and make free with
them. There is no such good plaything for
grown up children like you and me, &swains,
wee ones. It is wonderful what you can get
them to do with a little coaxing and Am.—
You all know this as well as I do, and will
practice it every day in your own families.—
Here is a pleasant little story out of an old
book ; "A gentleman having led a company
of children beyond their usual journey, then
began to get weary, and all cried to him to
carry them on his back, but because of their
multitude he could not do this. But;' says he,
get horses O or us ; all,' then cutlittg little
wands out of the hedgis as poniet for lit ' em,
and a great stake as a charger for himself; this
put mettle in their legs, and they rode cheerir
ly home." So much for a bit of ingenious
fem.

OneNSunday morning an old gentler= was
going tochurch. He was a happy, cheerful
Christian, ,who had a very great respect for
the Sabbath. He was, however, somewhat
singular in the manner of giving reproof.—
As!he was going alpng he met a man
.drivipg
a heavily loaded cart through the town.
Whk , n the old 'gentleman came opposite
the carte he suddenly stopped and lifting up
both his hands, as if in plan he exclaimed as
he gazed under the act
"There, there, you are going over it; you
have gone right over it. .
The driver was fri

He then looked ttn.
to see mangled ret
child, or at least some poor dog, or pig that
had been crushed to death.
But, after gazing all about and o: •
thing wider the wheels,_he looked ai the 7
tleman who had so strangely arrested his at
tention, and anxiottaly asked, "what hale I
got over, sir?
('`Over the fourth commandment, my Mend,'
was the- reply ; •Remember the Sabbath day
keep it holy."
PATINE LIKE A SIDINEIL
Several years ago, in Worth Carolina, where
it is not customaq for the tavern keepers to
charge the ministers snything for lodging and
refreshments, a preacher presumingly stopped.
at a tavern one evening i r.„&nacle himself com
fortable during the night, and in the mcrmlngi
entered the stage without offering to pay for
his accommodations. The landlord Soon came
running up to the stage, and said:
There is some one who has not settled his
The passengers all said they had, ,but the
preacher, who said he understood that minis
ters were never charged anything.
"What? you a minister of the goapel—a
man of God" cried the inn keeper; you came .
to my house last night; you sat down at' the
table without asking a blessing; Ilit you up
to your room, and you went to bed without
praying to-ymr Maker, (for I stood then un-
til you retired ;) you rose and - washed without
praying ; ate your breakfast without saying
grace; and, as you came to my house like a
sinner, 'and ate and drank like a sinner, You
have got to pay like a skitter!"
LEIELEMME
The Rev. Samuel Clawson, s Methodist
preacher of ecceßtric manners, sometimes
called the "wild man," was very popular in
Western Virginia some twenty years ago.—r
He was cross-eyed and wiry made, and vary
dark skinned for a white man. /t times he
was surprisingly, eloquent, •always excitable,
and ocMionally extravagant. He once ac
companied a brother minister, Rev.. Mr. R., a
prominent pastor, in a visit to a colored church.
Mr. R. gave the colored preacher the Witt,
and, of couse, \ Clawson was invited to preach.
He did so, and during
s the' sermon set the im
pulsive Africans to. 'shouting all over the house.
This, in turn set" Clawson to extravagant
words tions, andhe leaped out of the !
pulpit like a deer, and bepn totake the hands
of the colored brethren and mix in quite hap
pily. wept for joy . Then, In.essiu,g
through the crrrtd, he found Breittter k and.
sitting down beside him, he threw his arm a- ,
round bis neck, and, with tears, slimming
down his cheeks, he said : "Itiothsirll. I at
most wish I had been bora a nigger. Thew
folks halve more religion than we have."
" well," said Brother R "you come
so near It that you needn't cry about it.?
