Their seats of flag and -their Trauma of wood, With their backs so straigl,t and tall. Then the sire shouk his silvery Woad, And with trembling voice hegently said,— "Mother, those empty chairs ! They bring us such sad, sad thoughts to- night, We'll put them forever out of bight, In the small, dark room upstairs." But ahc answered, "Father, no, not yet; For !look at thew and I forget That the children went &Way ; The boys come back, and our Mary, too, With her apron of checkered him!, And Fit Lore every day. "Johnny still whittles his ship's tall masts, And Willie his leaden bullet, 4 casts, While Mary her patchwork sews ; At evening time three childish prayers Go up to God from those little chairs, So softly that no one knows.

[For the Star anti Sentinel BIOGRAPHICAL *KETCHES. ill MRS LINCOLN PHELPS MARTIN VAN BUREN. The lion and fox might be considered as in some degree represented by the two men whose public lives were fq many years blended. The younger, Van Buren, doubt lu ^ by the free of a vulpine Wisdom, sway ,- ( 1 in a great degree the mind of the lion-herrted Jackson, who would have re sented the imputation of being led or hood winked by any man. The administra tion of Van Buren may be considered as but a continuation of that of Jackson, whose measures were, doubtless, in a great degree prompted by his prime minigter and adviser. As President Van Pairen was unmarried, having been a widower from early life, the Washington Court circle, in his time was not marked by the brilliancy of some oth er periods. Still, there were not wanting aspirants for the honors of the Presidential Mansion among the belles who figured in the drawing-rooms of Cabinet Ministers, Senators, and other officials. lint Presi dent Van Buren's policy in love, as in pol itics, was noncommittal, and if it was whispered in fashionable circles that he had offered himself to Mrs.— or Miss--, this was considered rather as the illusion which sometimes beguiles lailies who draw on Im agination for facts. ' _ History will give to Martin Van Buren a respectable niche-4e was certainly a fortu natetit map, if, not, great one. He avoided entanglements ith foreign. nations, , and kept the peace, t home and abroad, with the exception of the war - with the Indians in . Florida; he retired.thmthis high -office to the shades of private fife, inhere he paned many years in the chltivatloti of his litera ry tastes, and the mlioyment of congenial society. ' ' Tgi 1854, the writek, :With a party of friends, met Mr. Van.` Buren at Verity, in Striiihriand, where he was sojourning, for a short time.

She inquired 'of ksome, English men who were in the 'parlor of our hotel, if they had read the aeminta of the fire in Troy. Their answers were ifrigid'and in- Mixon. Some one, snore sarcaatically than kindly, remarked, "The ea President of the 'United States, whir is eoming, may be able to tell you."' At this enter ed lir.

One bitter cold day in winter a merry party of us, nestled down , ::ale: furry robes, went to Meet art appoint, t with a friend, living a few mites distan ..ith whom we were to spend the afternt and in the eve ning attend a concert to lie hold near by. The sleighing was delightful, the air keen and inspiring, the host and hostess genial as the crackling fires in the grates, and the invited guests, of whom there were many besides ourselves, in that peculiar visiting trim, which only old time friends, long patted, can enjriy. Restraint was thrown aside ; we cracked jokes, we chatted like magpies, and talked a little of the coming concert, which promised a rare treat to our unsophisticatedi ears. All went merry as a marriage bell,' and merrier than some till just before tea, when I was seized with a sudden and unaccountable desire to go home, accompanied by a dread or fear of something, I knew not what, which made the return appear, not a matter of choice, but a thing imperative. I tried to reason it away, to revive antici pations of the concert ; I thought of the dis appointment it Would be to those who came with me to give it ap, and running over in my mind the condition in which things were left at home, could find no ground for alarm. For many yeara a part of the house had been rented to a trusty family ; our children were often rocked in the same cradle, and half the time ate at the same table ; locks and bolts were thing stmused, and In deed as in word we were neighbors. In their care had ben left a boy of ten years, the only one of the family - remaining at home, who knew that when he returned from school he was expected to bring in wood and kin- Wings for the morning fire, take a supper alone, or with tttle Clara E , as he chose, and otheralse pass the time as he pleased, only he thust not go in the street to play or on the pond to skate. He had been left many times in his way, and had never given occasion for the slightest uneasiness; still, as this nameless fear grew upon me, it took the form ofd conviction that danger of some sort threatened this beloved child. I was rising to go and ask Mr. A to t-ke me home, when some one said, “You are very pale ; are you ill ?" "No," I answered, and, dropping back in the chair, told them how strangely I had been exercised for'the last few minutes, add ing, "I really must go home." There was a perfect chorus of voices against it, and fora little time I was silenced though not conviticnd. Some one laid the matter before Mr. A-, who replied : "Nonsense, FAldie is a good boy to mind ; he will do milling in our absence that be would not do if we were there, and is enjoy ing himself well at this moment, 11l war rant." This answer wilt brought to me in tri umph, and I resolved to do as they said, "not to think about it." But at tea my hand almost refused to carry food to my lips and I found it utterly impossible to swallow a mouthful. A deathlike chill crept over me, and I knew that every eye was upon me as I left the room. Mr. A. rose, saying in a chanced voice and without ceremony: "Make haste ; bring the horse round : we must go right away. I never saw her in such - a state betore; there is something in it." He followed me to the parlor, but be fore he could speak I was pleading as for dear life that not a moment be lost in start ing for home. "I know," said I, "it is not all imagination, and whether it is or not, I shall certainly die it this dreaful incubus is not removed shortly." All was now confusion ; the tea table de- serted, the meal scarce tasted; and my friends, alarmed as much at my looks as at my words, were as anxious to hurry me off as they had been to detain me. To me those terrible moments seemed hours, yet I am assured that not more than half an hour elapsed from the time my fears first found expression before we were on the road to wards home. A horse somewhat noted for fleetness was before us, and-with only two in the cutter—the rest staid to the concert, and made Mr. A. Promise that if nothing had happened he would return—we went over the road at a rapid paea. I knew from the frequent repetition of a peculiar signal that the beast was being urged to his best, yetlgrew sick with impatience at the re straint.,,l wanted to fly. All this time my fears had taken no definite shape. I only knew that the child . was in danger and I felt impelled to hum to: the rescue. Only once was the silence broken in that three mite Journey, and that was when, on reach ing an eminence from which the house Was in full view, I said, "Thank God, the house isn't on fire." "That was my own thought," said Mr. A-, but there was no slackening of speed. On reaching home a cheerful Ilirbt was glimmering froth Mrs. E-'s win dow ; before the vehicle had fairly stopped, we were clear of it and opening the door said in the very slime breath, "Where's Eddie T : "EAdie? why, he Was here a little while ago," answered Nei E—, pleasantly, trying to dissipate the alarm she taw written on our countenance: ; "Ili ate supper with the children, and played awhile at marbles then spoke of Zihby pose haying a new pic ture book, and that Ile . 4; , antet to .

After an instant another attempt was made, and this time on a lounge directly undei the window, he stumbled on the insensible form of little Eddie, smothered in smoke! Limp aisaap patently lifeless, he was borne into the fresh; cold air, and after some rough handling, was restored to consciousness. From that hour I think I have known how Abraham felt when he lifled Isaac from the altar unharmed, and, in obedience to the command' 4)l' the angel of the Lord.— True I had ba] subjected to no such trial of strength and faith ; my Father knew I would have shrunk utterly before it ; yet if it was not a similar messenger that whisp ered to me in the midst of that g;)y party an hour previous, I have no wish to i,c Con vinced of it, and were the book placed in my hands which I knew had power to rob me of this sweet belief, I would never open it. Eddie said, on returning trim school lie made a good fire, and as the wood was snowy, he thought he would put it into the oven to dry ; something he had never done before. Then on leaving Mr. E-'s room he went in for an apple before going to sue Libby Ruse's picture book; and It seemed so nice and warm he thought he would lie down a while. Ile could give no explanation as to what prompted him to turn the key ; it was the first and last time, but this would have made no difference in the result, for no one would have discovered the smoke in time to save his life. The wood in the oven was burned to ashes, but as the doors were closed there was no danger of fulling embers setting the house on fire ; and had we staid to the con cert everything would have been as when we left, except that little Eddie's voice would never more have made music for our ears. Every one said that with a delay of five or even three minutes we should have been to late. Many years have passed since then, yet now,when the lamp of Faith burns dim,and God and His promises seem a great way off, I have only to go back to this—the first, the lastrand only manifestation of his nature— to feel that, "As a lather Gareth for his chil dren so careth He for us." "Deliver us from evil, for Thine is the power," "is no mere formality, bat words pregnant with mean ing. Losr Srans.—alLose who study the heav ens, say that often a star drops out of the armament or dies there, and is lost to sight forever after. It may been the bright star of Lope of many a mariner on the uncer tain sea of life. Its calm, gentle radiance may have shed good cheer and comfort upon many a path that is dark with doubt, sor row, and dread. Like these dropping, dying stars, our loved ones go away from our sight. The stars of hopes, our ambitions, our prayers, whose light shines ever before us, leading on and np, they suddenly fade from the firmament of our hearts, and their place is empty and dark. A mother's steady, soft, and earnest light, that beamed through all our wants' and sorrows ; a father's strong, quick light that kept our feet from stumh bling on the dark and treacherous ways ; a sister's light, so mild, so pure, so constant, and so firm, shining upon us from gentle, loving eyes, and persuading us to grace and goodness ; a brother's light, bright, and bold, and honest ; a lover's light, forever t sleeping in our souls, and illuminating our 'goings and comings; a friend's light,true and trusty—gone out—forever? \o'-! The light has not gone out. It is shininT, be yond the stare, where there is no night and no darkness, forever and forever. A Larrits from one of the civil engineers on the Central Pacific Railroad, thus de scribes a pond of warm water In what seams to be the crater of an extinct volca no, near the North Fork of Humbold River, in Nevada : "I must tell you about one remarkable natural curiosity we en camped near—a curious hot spring. It is situated in a crater about two hundred feet in diameter, on the top of a knoll which rises about fifty feet above the river. In the bottom of the crater is a long elliptical pool, perhapreno feet long in one direction and 75 in the other—a mammoth bath-tub in shape. The depth of the water is un known; no lines brought here have been long enough to reach the bottom. In one part of it the water is just hot enough to ena ble the hand to be held in it, and the remain der of the pool varies from this to lukewarm ness. The walls are nearly vertical, and you can imagine the luxury of a plunge Into it, with no fear of strikinz bottom. Just think, too, of swimming about on a cold November day, with the rising steam deposited in frost upon the rocks, in 'water which is of a temperature perfectly luxuri ous. When I went in I had so severe a cold as to be unable to speak aloud, and it cured me entirely. The water tastes slightly of sulpher, iron and lime." A. GOOD JOKII.-.A. loafer, while stopping at a tavern up the country, used to lounge about the bar and drink other people's liquor. Not a glass could be left alone for a moment, but he would slip up and drink its entire contents. One day a stage driver came in, and called for a stiff horn of bran dy toddy. Jelin immediately played pos sum by leaving his brandy while he step ped to the door. The bait took. On re turning he - saw his glass empty, and ex claimed with all We diabolical horror, he could affect: "Brandy and opium enough to kill forty men! Who drank that Oren ?" "I!" stammered the loafer, tem:3y to give lip the ghost with affright. "Yon are a dead man!" said the driver. "What shall I do ?" beseeched the other, Who thought himself a.gone sucker, "Down with a pint of lamp oil, oryou're a dead man in three minutes!" - answered the wicked driver. And down went the lamp olh and up came the brandy and opi um, together with his breakfast. The joke was told and be has never drank other peo ple's liquor since. A Bar circus-rider performed. the aston ishing fat of turning 25 consecutive somer saults, on horseback in Louisville the other day. 'A dispute having arisen between him and the manager as to , bow many he was capable of ,turning,, the latter promised him the horse, pad, and bridle with which he performed the act if he turned 25 times.— After being introduced into the 'ring, and perfbrming a number of very difficult bnt banditti acts of horsemanship, he threw aside the whip and prepared himself for the trial.'

A GOOD YANKEE SToltT, A "Yanhee story," heard by as some two years ago in England, may not be new to our readers, since its "texture" seems to show the sis-Atlantic loom. In :our spin= ion, however, it IS so good that we are tempted to give it, at the risk of its beings repetition. An American—a veritable'Down Easter,' and not to be mistaken for any - er stripe—was riding in an English railway carriage, his sole companion being an Eng lishman, equally unmistakable as a typical "John Bull." They were strangers to one another, and bad traveled some five miles or more, without a word passing between them. The "whistle" was heard interrupting their unsociable meditations; when the Yankee, whose curiosity could not any, longer be kept in restraint, asked what it was for. "Aw—aw !" yawned the Britisher., "Signal: we are going to stop at a station." Jonathan cramme his neck outof the win dow, but could see no sign of a station.-- He said so to his traveling companion. `•Of course you can't see it," was the re ply. •It's more than five miles from heaw. our railways make such speed, It Is abso lutely necessary to sound the signal five miles WT, to give the engineer time to stop off his steam, put on the bweak, and sus pend the motion. I pwesume you don't make such speed on the other side of the Atwantic !" "Wal, stranger !" somewhat tartly re joined Jonathan, seeing that his nationality was discovered, "we make considerable speed t'other side too. We tried the whis sel, but it wouldn't do nohow. I deestioct ly remember, travelin' on a train, atween Busting and the Green Mountings o' Var mount, on the which war a conductor who depended on his whissel. Wal, as we were streakin along, we seed 'beowt ten' miles ahead, a team o' comen in a wagon wl'thar driver whippin, 'em &crest the rails. Our conductor ordered the loudest kind o' screech on the whissel; and that war the last thing I heard, 'cepting ,an all &Mired smash, that knocked sound out o' my ears, and daylight out o' my eyes. I reck'n must u been dead for more'n five minutes. "When I kim to my senses Agin, I seed the wagon lyin' on the railway track, broke up into spokes, the oxen knocked into squash, an' the driver lyin' dead on top o' 'um. An' besides, the hub o' the railway cars war off o' the track; that passengers crushed an' squirmin,' and the conductor lyin* close by the engine, looking as If he'd been drawed an' quartered! Just at that minit the whissel he'd ordered to no sound ed 'beowt ten miles back kim past but it kim to late. It wan't quick enough ; an' we'ar now usin' electric lights." John Buil, who, as a matter of course, newspaper, madeprovided with a Times made no rejoinder; but unfolding the broad sheet and raising it so as to hide his ruddy face, remained absorbed in its con tents the rest of the journey. WHAT A CIIILD CAN DO. -"1"//, I have signed the pledge," said a little boy to his father, on coming home one evening; "will you help me to keep it!" "Certainly," said his father. "Well, I have brought a copy of the pledge, will you sign it, papa ?" "Nonsense, nonsense, my child.

Some weeks after, two officers called in to speed the evening. "What have you to drink ?" said they. "Hive you any more of that prime Scotch ale?" "No," said he, "I have not, but I will get some. Here, Willy, run to the store, and tell them to send some bottles up." The boy stood before his father respect fully, but did not go. "Come, Willy! why, what's the matter? Come, run along." He went, but came back presently with out any bottles. - Where's the ale, Willy?" "I asked them for it at the store and they put it upon the counter, but I could • not touch it. 0, pa! pa! don't be angry; I !told them to send it up, but I could not touch it myself." The father was deeply moved, and, turn ing to his brother officers, he said : "Gentlemen, you hear that? You can do as you please. When the ale come yop can drink it, hut not another drop after - that shall be drank in my house, and not anoth er drop shall pass my lips. Willy, have you , your temperance pledge ?" "0, p 4, I have. ". "Bring it then." And the boy was back in amoment. The father signed it, and the little fellow clung around his father's neck with delight.— The ale came, but no one dank, and the bottles stood on the table untouched..
