THE GATES ARE OPEN TIME=
, .
The voice of melody is hushed,
Silent the house of prayer;
But songs are echoing in heaven ;
The gates are open there.
Darkness hath locked the . orkter door—
Guards the untrodden stair ;
The "many mansions" are not dark ;
The gates are open there.
New footsteps ever pressing in
The place, prepared to claim;
New brows uplifted to receive
The new baptismal name.
Each moment of the busy week
Unbindeth loads of care,
And beareth,upward weary souls
To restless service there,
The darkest hours oflongest night
With noiseless pinions bear
Awakened ones to life and light;
The gates are open there.
Open for angels to descend
And minister to thee:
Open for prayer to enter in—
Open for you and me.
BOXE.
Home's not merely four square walls,
Though hung with pictures nicely gilded;
Home is where affection calls,
Filled with shrines the heart bath bonded.
Home! go watch the faithful dove,
Sailing 'neath the heaven above us ;
Home is where there's one to love—
Home is where there's one to love us.
Home's not merely roof and room—
Home needs something to endear it;
Home is where the heart can bloom,
Where there's some kind lip to cheer it!
What is home with none to meet,
None to welcome, none to greet us?
Home is sweet, and only sweet,
Wheu there's one we love to meet us.
GIVE US Tlll3 DAY OCR DAILY BREAD.-1118.
miserable cottage at the bottom of a hill, two
children hovered over a smouldering fire.—
A tempest raged without, a fearful tempest,
against which man and beast were alike pow
erless. A poor old miser, much poorer than
those shivering children, though he had heaps
of money at home, drew his ragged cloak
around him as he crouched down at the thresh
old of the miserable door. Ile dared not en
ter for fear they would ask pay for shelter,and
he could not move for the storm.
"I am hungry, Nettie."
"So am L I'`•e hunted for a potatoe par
ing, and can't find any.-
"What an awful storm
"Yes, the old tree has blown down. I
guess God took care that it didn't blow on the
house. See, it certainly would have killed
us.''
"If he could do that, couldn't he send us
bread."
"I guess so—let's pray 'Our Father,' and
when we come to that part, stop till we get
some bread."
So they began. and the miser crouching and
shivering listened. When they paused, ex
pecting In their childish faith to see some wi
raculot manifestation, a human Vling stole
into his heart, sent by an angel to soften it.—
He 14 bought a loaf of bread, thinking it
would last him a great while, but the silence
of the two children.spake louder to him than
the voice of many waters. He opened the
door softly, threw in the loaf, and then listen
ed to the wild eager cry of delight that came
from the half famished little ones.
• "It dropped down from Heaven, didn't it ?"
continued the younger:."Yes, I mean to love
God forever for giving us bread because we
asked him. Well ask him every day,
won't we ? Why, I never thought God was
so good, did you ?''
"Yes, I always thought so, but I never
quite knew it before."
"Let's ask him to give father work to do all
the time, so we need never be hungry again ;
hell do it I'm sure.' •
The storm passed—the miser went home.—
A little flower had sprung up in his heart.—
It was no longer barren.
In a few weeks he died, but not before he
had given the cottage, which was his, to the
poor laboring man.
And the little children ever after felt a sweet
and solemn emotion,when in their devotions
they came to those trustful words:
"Give us this day our daily bread.-
GALLANTRY OF PRESIDENT JACKSON.-
During a visit of the hero of New Orleans to
Philadelphia, while he was President, a hale,
buxom young widow greeted him with a
shake of both hands, at the same instant ex-
claiming :
"My dear General, I am delighted to see you ;
I have walked six miles this morning to enjoy
this rare felicity."
To this the President replied, with an air of
dignified gallantry—
" Madam, I regret that I had not known
your wishes earlier; I certainly would have
walked half way to meet you." „;
Ciiir The Bishop of Wurtzburg once askeV a
sprightly shepherd boy : "What are you do
ing here,my lad ?" "Tending swine." "How
much do yon get ?" "One florin a week ?"
"I, also, am a shepherd," continued the bish
op, "but I have a much better salary." "That
may be ; but then, I suppose, you have more
swine under your care," innocently replied
the boy.

TILE NOBLE REVENGE.
TEE coffin was a plain one--a - poor misera
ble pine coffin. No flowers on its top, no
lining of the rosewhite satin for the pale
brown ; no smooth ribbons about the coarse
shroud. The brown hair was laid decently
back, but there was the crimped cap, with its
neat tie beneath the chin. The sufferer from
cruel poverty smiled in her sleep; she had
found bread, rest and health.
"I want to see my mother," sobbed a poor
child, as the city undertaker screwed down
the top. .
"You can't—get 'out of the way, boy : why
don't somebody take the brat ?"
"Only let me see her one minute," cried the
hopeless orphan, clutching the side of the
charity box, and I il3 he gazed into the rough
face, anguished tears streamed rapidly down
the cheek, on which no childish bloom ever
lingered. Oh lit was pitiful to hear him cry,
"Only once, let me see my mother only once."
Quickly and brutally the hard-hearted mon
ster struck the boy away, so that he reeled
with the blow. For a moment the boy stood
panting with grief and rage—his blue eyes
disended, his lips sprang apart. A fire glitter
ed through his tears, as he raised his puny
arm, and with a most unchildish accent
screamed, "When lam a man, I'll kill you
for that."
There was a coffin and a heap of earth be
tween the mother and the poor forsaken child

heartless deed.

TRICKS OF A JUGGLER.
The far-famed Robert Heller cannot be sat
isifica with ban legitimsto triumphs before an
audience, but occasionally does a neat thing
for his own amusement, very much to the
surptise of those who happen to be present.—
On Saturday last, while passing an itinerant
vender of cheap provisions, Mr. Heller sud
denly paused and inquired :
"How do you sell eggs, Auntie."
"Derr eggs," was the response; "dey am a
pickaynne apiece—fresh, too, last one of 'em;
biled 'em myself, and know dey's fust rate."
"Well, I'll try 'am," said the magician, as
he laid down a bit of fractional currency.—
"Have you pepper and salt ?"
-Yes, -ir, dere dey is," said the sable sales
woman, watching her customer with intense
interest.
Leisurely drawing out a little penknife, Mr.
Heller proceeded very quietly to cut .the egg
exactly in half, when suddenly a bright, new
twenty-five cent piece was discovered lying
imbebbled in the yolk, apparently as bright
as when it came from the mint. Very coolly
the great magician transferred the coin to his
vest pocket, and taking up another egg, in
quired :
"And how much do you ask for this egg?"
"De Lord bless my soul! Dat egg ! De
fact am, boss, die egg is worth a dime, shuar.
"All right," was the response ; here's the
dime. Now give me the egg."
Separating it with an exact precision that
the colored lady watched eagerly, a quarter
eagle was most carefully picked out of the cen
tre of the egg, and placed in the vest pocket
of the operator', as before. The old woman
was thunderstruck, as well she might have
been, and her customer had to ask her price
for the third egg two or three times before he
could obtain a reply.
. "Dar's no use talkin, mars'e , said the be
wildered old darkey. "I can't let you hab
dat ere egg, nohow, for less dart a quarter. I
declare to de Lord I cant."
"Very good," said Heller, whose impurtur
bable features were as solemn as an underta
ker, "there Is your quarter and here is the
egg. All right."
As he opehed the last egg, a brace of five
dollar gold pieces were discovered snugly de
posited in the very heart of the yolk, and
jingling them merrily together in his little
palm, the savant coolly remarked :
"Very good eggs, indeed. I rather like
them; and while I am about it, I believe I
will buy a dozen. What is the price ?"
"De price 1" screamed the amazed daugh
ter of Ham. "You couldn't buy dem eggs,
mars'r, for all de money you's got. No dat
you couldn't, ree gwine to take dam eggs
all home, I ill, and dat money in dem eggs all
'longs to me. It does dat. Couldn't sell no
more of dem eggs, nohow."
Amid the roar of the spectators,the benight
ed African started to her domicil to "smash
dem eggs," but with what success we are un
able to:relate.

Some waggish students at Yale College, a
few years since, were regaling themselves one
evening at the "Tontine * " when an old farm
er from the country entered the room (taking
it for the bar room) and inquired if he could
obtain lodging. The young chaps immedi
ately answered in the affirmative, inviting him
to take a glass of punch. The old fellow, who
was a shrewd Yankee, saw at once that he
was to be made the butt of their jests, but
quietly laying off his hat and telling a worth
less little dog he had with him to lie under
the chair, he took.a glass of the proffered bev
erage. The students anxiously inquired after
the health of the old man's wife and chain,
and the farmer, with affected-simplietlirgrave
them the whole pedigree, with numerous an
ecdotes about his farm, stock, &c.
"Do you belong to the church ?" asked one
of the wags.
"Yes, the Lord be praised, and so did my
father before me. "
"Well, I suppose you would not tell a lie ?
replied the student.
"Not for the world," added the farmer.
"Now what will you take for that dog ?
pointing to the farmer's cur, who was no
worth his weight in Jersey mud.
"I would not take twenty dollars for that
dog."
"Twenty dollars? why, he is not worth
twenty cents."
"Well, I assure you I would not take twen
ty dollars for him."
"Come my friend," said the student, who
with his companions was bent on having
some capital fun with the old man. "Now
you say you won't tell a lie for the world, let
me see if you will do it for twenty dollars.—
I'll give you twenty dollars for your dog."
"I'll not take it," replied the farmer.
"You will not ? Here let us see if this will
tempt you to tell a lie," added the student,
producing a small bag of half dollars, from
which he counted small piles on the table,
where the farmer sat with his hat in his hand,
apparently unconcerned. "There, - added
the student, "there are twenty dollars all in
silver. I will give you that for your dog."
The old farmer quietly raised his hat to
the edge of the table, and then as quick as
thought scraped all the money into it except
one half dollar, at the same time exclaiming.
"I won't take your twenty dollars' Nineteen
and a half is as much as the dog is worth—he
is your property !"
A tremendous laugh from his fellow stu
dents showed the would-be wag that he was
completely "done up," and that he need not
look for help from that quarter ; so he good
naturedly acknowledged beat, insisted on the
old farmer taking another glass, and they
parted in great glee—the student retaining his
dog, which he keeps to this.day, as a lesson
to him never to attempt to play tricks on men
older than himself, and especially to be care
ful how he tries to wheedle a Yankee farmer.
A CONFIRMED GRUMBLER
Some time ago there lived in Edinburgh a
well-known grumbler, named Sandy Black,
whose often recurring tits of spleen or indiges
tion produced some amusing scenes of sense
less irritability, which were highly relished
by all except the:brute's good, patient little
wife. One morning Sandy rose bent on a
quarrel; the haddies and eggs were excellent,
done to a turn, and had been ordered by him
self the previous evening, and breakfast pass
ed without the looked-for cause of complaint.
"What will you have for dinner, Sandy ?"
said Mrs. Black.
`A chicken, madam, said the husband
"Roast or boiled," asked the wife
"Confound it, madam, if you had been a
good and considerate wife, you'd have known
before this what I liked," Sandy growled out,
and, slamming the door behind him, left the
house.
It was in the spring, and a friend who was
present heard the little wife say, "Sandy's
bent on a disturbance to-day : I shall not please
him, do what I can."
The dinner-time came, and Sandy and his
friend sat down to dinner ; the fish was eaten
in silence, and, on raising the cover of theslish
befote him, in a toNteriug passion he called
out, "Boiled chicken! I hate it, madam. A
chicken boiled is a chicken spoiled."
Immediately the cover was raised from an
other chicken,:, roasted to a turn.
"Madam, I *on't eat roast chicken'" roar
ed Sandy: "you know how it should halve
been cooked!"
At that insant a broiled chicken. With mush
rooms, was placed on the table.
"Without green peas!" roared the pun-
bier.
"Here they are, dear," said Mrs. Black.
"How dare you spend my money in that
way ?"
"They were a present." said the wife inter
rupting him.
Rising from his chair and rushing trout the
room, amidst a roar of laughter from - his
friend, he clenched his fist and shouted, "How
dare you receive a present without my leave !"
A DISAPPOINTED WOMAN
A few months since a gentleman had the
misfortune to lose his wife, a literary lady of
some reputation. After grieving for a num
ber of weeks, a bright idea entered the head
of the widower. He though 4 that he could do
something to lessen his sorrow, and for that
purpose he callediupon a lady of his acquain
tance, and requested to speak a word with her
in private. Thinking that she was about to
receive a proposal, the lady prepared to listen
with becoming resignation.
"Myrrha," said he, with downcast eyes, as
he took her hand, "you knew my wife !"
"Certainly."
"It is not good for a man to be alone !" •
"Perhaps not."
"Did you ever reflect upon that part of the
marriage service which requires couples to
cleave unto each other till death do them
part ?"
"I have." •
"I have often reflected upon it myself.—
Now death hai parted me from my wife, and
I feel very lonely."
"I should think it likely."
"I nst do something• to restore to
me her kind co tions, and the memory of
her tiirtues."
He'pressed the lady's hand and sighed.—
She riturned the pressure and also suffered a
sigh to escape her. • .
