Like stars behind a cloud are hid ;

That God has drawn upon thy face.
My wife! thy btiath is low and soft ;
To catch its sound I listen oft;
The lightest leaf of Persian rose
Upon thy lips might find repose.
So deep thy slumber, that I.press'd
Nly trembling hand uplu thy breast,
In sudden fear that envious death
Had rohb'd thee, sleeping, of thy
breath.
My wife! thy npeaklng face now seems
To show the tenor of thy dreams:

THE MINISTER ♦ND THE BOY
Many years ago a certain minister was
going oue Sunday morning to his school
loom. He walked through a number of
streets, and, as he turned a corner, be saw
assembled around a pump a party of little
boys, playing marbles. On seeing him ap
unmet), they began to pick up their marbles
and run away as fast as they could. Oue
little fellow, not baying seen him as soon.as
the rest, before he could succeed in gather
ing up his marbles the minister had come
to him anti placed his hand upon his shoul
der. They were face to face, the minister
of God and the poor little ragged boy, who
bad been caught in the act of playing
marbles on Sunday morning. And how
did the minister deal with the boy ? That
is what I wanted you to notice.
lie might have said to' him, "What are
you doing there? You are breaking the
Sabbath: . Don't you deserve to be punish
ed ?"
But he did nothing of the kind. He
simply said, "Have you found all your mar
bles r
"No" mid the boy, "I haven't."
Theo said the minister, "I'll help yam' ,
Whereupon he knelt down and began to
look for the marbles ; and as he did so, be
remarked, "I liked to play at marbles when
I was a little boy, very much, and I think I
can teat you ;" but he added, "1 never play
marbles on Sunday."
The little boy's attention was now arrest
ed. He liked his friend's face,and began to
wonder who he was. Then the minister
said :
-I'm going to # place where I think you
would like to he ; will you come with me?"
Said the boy, "Where do you live ?"
"In such and such a place," was the an
swer.
'Why, that's the minister's house !" ex
claimed the boy, as he did not suppose that
a kind man and a minister of the Gospel
could be the same person.
- Yes, - said the man, "I am the minister
myself; and if you'll come with me I think
T. can do you some good.
Said the boy, "My bands are dirty, I can't
MI
"Bat," said the minister, "here's a pump
why not wash them ?"
Said the boy, "I'm so little I can't wash
an l pump at the same time."
"Well," said the minister,
11 pump."
He at once set to work, and pumped and
pumped ; and the boy washed his hands and
lace till they were quite clean.
Said the boy, "My hands are wringing
wet, and I don't know how to chy 'em."
The minister pulled out a clean handker
chief and offered it to the boy.
/Lid the boy, "but it is dean."
"Yes," was the reply, "but it was made
o be dirtied."
The boy dried Lis hands and face
with the handkerchief, and then accom
panied the minister to the door of the Sun
day school.
Twenty years after, the minister was
walking In the street of a large city when a
tall man tapped him on the shoulder, and
looking into his face, "Yon don't remember
me ?"
"No;" said the minister, "I don't."
"Do you remember twenty Years ago ;
finding a little boy playing marbles round a
pump? Do you remember that boy's being
too dirty to go to school, and you pumped
for him, and speaking kindly to him, and
taking him to school ?"
"Oh !I said the minister, I do remember."
"Sir, said the gentleman, "I was that
boy. I rose In business and became a leading
man. I have attained a position In society;
and on seeing you to day in the street, I
felt bound to come to you and say that it is
to your kindness, and wiadom,and Christian
discretion—to your having dealt with me
persuasively, that I owe, under God, all
that I have attained, land what I am at the
present day."— Unitarian Herald.
CRAWLED Ur.—Once upon a time a gen
tleman found in his henroost a simple mind
ed soul of the vlcinity,,,who lived without
visible Means of support.
"What are you doing here, you rascal ?
Stealing my chickens ?"
"No, sir, was the response;
thought of doing nothing of the sort."
It unfortunately happened that the sim
ple minded individual wore a - high straw
hat, of the diniensions of a bee hive, .and
the crown thereof was dilapidated tea seri
ous eitent. Just as he had put in his de
nial, the head of a half grown pallet-maa
seen to protrude from the aperture.
"See there," 'said the gentleman ;
did, the chicken get in your hat ?"
"Well!" exclaimed the simple minded
individual, with an air of honest surprise
and embarrassment, "that is the strangest
thing that ever happened tome: I suppose
the darned critter most have crawkil up my

GIVE WILLING BOYS A CHANCE
he lesson inculcated. in the fol:owing
brief sketch is worth studying:
A green, rustic lad came years ago to the
metropolis from a Connecticut village. At
home he had done well in an honorable
way, but be bad read and beard of the won
derful city. He made up Ills mind he could
do something in it. When be. re.cherl the
city no place seemed open to him. Day
after day he hunted for business. Want
sured him in the face. He would not go
back to bis fe lends. Dropping into a large
dry goods house one day in the search for
work he chanced to come face to face with
the proprietor.
"We have nothing for you to do, sir,"
this great business man said in reply to his
inquiry, "but stay, what can you do?" be
continued, "you seem to be an honest look
lug lad."
"Oh, sir, I can do anything—only try me
Only give me chance to do Some thing!.'
And the tears came out and trickled down
the cheeks of the almost forlorn boy, though
he tried as hard as he could to repress thtm.
"I will take the poorest place and do my
best."
He was engaged and set to work. He
was seat down to the celler and commenced
his business career in New York by pound
ing bent nails, which had been thrown in
pile beside the packing boxes, so they could
be used. This was his work for two weeks,
and he barely kept body and soul together
on the pay he received. Then he was put
in a better place. Then he rose to be a
clerk, and no clerk was so hard-working, so
faithful, so interested In this great house as
himself. He saw bis chance and counted
up In his own busy brain every point In the
game.
In five years from that time he sat on the
manager's seat and hammered the crooked
ins and outs of the business straight.
During his' clerkship he never missed a
day ; and no morning went by without re
porting promptly at seven o'clock. He
saved money and Prospered as the years
went by. Go up BrOadway to-day, and
you will see his name in golden letters over
the entrance to one of the largest and finest
establishments. In that building there are
seventeen million dollars worth of stock.—
His trade extends all over the land. His
fortune is princely. And even now, though
the great merchant is getting gray, and the
old time energy is waxing slow, a new light
will come into his eyes, and a new life to
his form, when he tells of those past days
of striving, and says to the young men
around him :
• 'Work, if you would succeed. Be atrue,
faithful, earnest clerk, if you would become
a mei chant of position and importance."
A GOOD STORY or LlWlBC.Ll3B.—Captain
A--, of Missouri, Is known all the way
on the Mississippi from New Orleans to
Dubuque, as a big hearted, jovial fellow,
who does not stand on the ceremony of an
introduction before commencing an is
quaintance. The Captain is fond of a
drink, and moreover does net like to drink
alone. It so happened that business called
him to Washington, and he had as a cam
pagnon de voyage a stout, flick-set man
well up in years, who wore a wig, and who
presented a ettikingratembhinee to the late
Lewis Cass. To beguile the tedium .of the
voyage, they chatted together and drank to
gether.
Captain A-, one evening 'after his
arrival, thought he espied his companion in
the densely crowded office of Brown's
Hotel, and stepping up to him, be briskly
steppe him on the back, and remarked,
"exile, old lelluw, let's take a drink."
"You mistake' your man," replied the
other, with great gravity. "My name is
Cass, Senator CO" S om Michigan." -
The Captain, it Is hardly necessary to
say, was greatly discomerteci, and slunk
away.
Iu the course of the evening, however,
he was certain that he spied his man, and
rushing up to him, be broke out with great
glee, "Well, I've found you at last. He!
be! he! Capital joketo tell you. Ile! he!
he! Don't you think, met old Casa, and
took him for you. He ! he ! he ! and says
"if you'll wash
I, come, let's take a drink, he he ! he !
and when he told me I mistook my man,
thunder and lightning! didu't I slope, he !
he! he!" The Captain observed, however,
that his companion did not appear to ap
preciate-the joke, but for a time preserved
a rigid countenance, and then broke in up
on him, "I, air, am Lewis Cass, as I told
you before, and I cannot allow you to in
dulge farther in these famillarties."
The Captain made no furtherattempts to
hunt up his ftwmer companion. He Is yet
hale and jovial, but he is not fond - of boast
ing how he made the acquaintance of the
late distinguished ffer.ator horn Michigan.

A minister was traveling the backwoods,
and espying a cabin, entered it on a mission
of mercy. The lady of the house !she be
ing present alone, end judging his errand)
when she saw him approaching seized the
Bible, and as he entered was to all intent
busily engaged in perusing the volume. He
noticed, however, that she held the letters
reversed, or in other words, upside down .
After the usual courtesies the minister in
quired what she was reading.
"Oh, 'bout the old prophets," was the
evidently self satifactory reply.
"It is very edifying to read of the suffer
ings and death of Christ," said the minis
ter.
"And so that good old man is dead, is

interested.
"Certainly he is."
"Well, that is just the way. I've been a t

the Treacher, with an elongated face.

"I know that I am weak ; and I guess

woman, in rather an angry tone of voice,
and half an octave higher than usual. ..
The minister left.

on his way back to New York with a cargo
of immense value when he suffered complete

her removed to Bellevue Hospital, where
