The heart—the heart, oh I prize it well
For it is slender made ;
A cruel word, an angry look
May cause its bloom to fade.
We may not know what hidden grief
Lies deep within its core;
Then do not add despair to that
Which kindness may restore.
The heart—the heart—'tie like a rose
That blooms mid fades from sight
Affection's tear dropp'd in its soul
Will make it glow more bright.
But if we leave its tender growth
Its life will soon be flown ;
Then oh I he careful of the heart
That you would make your, own.
The heart-=the heart—the throne Where life
Holds its majestic seat—
Where passion reigns, and loving thoughts
Oft find a firm retreat.
Oh ! be you ever kind to it—
For we may easy wake
A joyful strain within its zone,
Or bid its fibers break.
]For the Glob.]
"Thank you. No when I was
in Philadelphia, last winter, I answered
another the question that you, Maurice
Alden, are asking me ! Consequently,
I have a neat little contract to fulfill,
in an amazing short length of time!
And even if I were 'a bird,' it would be
silly business to sing such a song as
that, to me ! How stupid you are,
Mr, Alden!" and the girlish laugh of
Helen Craig rang out musically
through the great room.
"Now, Helen. Craig," - answered the
gentleman, "That old song you ridi
cule, was first sung in the garden of
Eden, and the older that 'ilove you !'
grows, the denier it is. And, as to
your thinking, stupid, you know,
Helen, that's 'all bosh!' Stupid ! my
little girl !" And ho laughed, merrily,
as he puffed away at his cigar, sending
the smoke curling about his head, in
tiny clouds.
"Why, little Helen, I thought you
wanted to marry me !" remarked Mau
rice Alden, with a self satiated look.
Miss Craig's pretty wLito face and
pink cheeks, grow crimson, at the
gentleman's intimation of her desire,
to sustain a nearer relationship. Her
checks glowing with an angry flush,
her brown eyes shadowed with tears,
she arose from the sofa, and stood be
side Alden.
'IS . ell, Helen, little girl, come to tell
me you've reconsidered that decision?'.'
"No, Mr. Alden I I have come to tell
you I did not expect an insult from
the brother of my friend Mara Alden."
"Nor did I conic here to seek a pro
posal. If not before, be just to me
now."
A troubled look come in "Maurice
Alden's grey eyes, as he questioned
himself, "have I-played badly, and lost
the prize?" Why, since Helen's days
of little girlhood—when she was a tiny
one, he Ad loved her! Must he lose
her, now ? The thought was full of
bitterness, of anguish. Down upon
the marble table, he laid the unfinished
cigar, looking repentant enough, now.
Helen tenderly questioned Maurice
Alden. "Is it true that you do hate me?
That you do love some ono else, my
little Helen !" And the low, sad tones
were full of sorrow.
UUNTINODON, PA
Tears trembled upon Helen Craig's
dark lashes, and sobs come swelling up
the delicate throat. Had she realized
this great love, when it was too late.
She wept as she acknowledged its
truth. But, in sight of God and the
angels, she was already Royer Heade's
wife, for two weeks would find them
united.
"You don't hate me, then, Helen."
and the grey eyes, for a moment, look
ed roguish.
With a pained look upon the now
pallid face, she told him how she, Hel
en Craig, would ero long wear the
"orange blossoms" for another. We
turn aside from the picture. It is such
as humanity, daily, aye, hourly, aro
living.

There is crape upon the goer of a
palatial mansion -up town. Muffled is
every bell. Sorrow is here! Enter.
How dark ! How gloomy ! Crapo upon
the pictures, the mirrors, crape every
where.
The husband sits mourning in his
study-4or it was there she so often
sat. She that laid so quiet, so still,
robed for the tomb. Her chair, that
she had playfully insisted was better
than any his study afforded, was
brought hither, as she would tap light
ly at the door, her lips wreathed in
smiles that were forced therelest the
knowledge of her unhappiness, would
make him, too, miserable. She grew
-more weary, and God gave her rest.
Every breath is laden with anguish,
to Royer Ronde. low elegant in form,
feature and intellect is he. Amongst
the locks of glossy black hair,is here and
there a thread of silver.
Stricken! How deeply! Heaven
help hia! All life held dear to him,shiv
ered at one blot! Why was he, too,
not called ? He sigh's and mourn,: as
only a strong man can, and asks him
self why. Only two short years of
happiness, since ho married Helen
Craig.
And Helen, pause a moment,--look
tenderly in the wan face— then ask if
there has been no sorrow here. The pale
hands aro folded meekly over the bo
sotn—a cross of white buds upon the
still heart, as is befitting.
She, Helen,was his idol, and now, in
this groat sorrow that shadows Royer
Ifoade's life , ho knows no other God.
Maurice A lden, too,low.ect little Hel-
en, add the thought of the cloud that
hovered over their lives, was full of
anguish. A vessel went down in the
angry, sectlying SOU, and all on board
were lost. Maurice was one of thu;t,
vessel, and we trust, is now in the Now
Jerusalem.

HELEN CRAIG,
BY MERIE N
-PERSEVERE.-
Billiousness.
With a greater amount, of bile in
the blood than is natural, the result
is that the eyes and the skin begin to
wear a yellow appearance, various
other symptoms manifest themselves,
according to the temperament, habits,
and peculiarities of the individual; one
has sick headache ; another complains
of Want of appetite, sometimes loath
ing the very appearance of food; a third
has cold feet and bands : a fOurth has
chilly sensations, involving the whole
body, or running up and clown the
back ; a fifth is costive ; women be
come hysterical, and kingh, cry, or
talk, while men are moody, peevish,or
morose. Bile is naturally of :t bright
yellow color, but as a man becomes
more bilious it grows darker, and is
at length as black as tar, causing a
state of mind which the old Romans
called attrability, attra meaning black;
a scowl is on the countenance, and the
person is ill-natured and fretful,p.nding
Malt with everybody and everything ;
hence, when a man is cross he is bili
ous, and ought to be pitied, and at the
same trine be made to take an emetic.
The ill-natured are never well; they
are "bilious," the system is clogged,
the machinery does not work well,and
both mind and body are disordered.
The safest and best method of getting
rid of biliousness is 'steady work in the
open air for six or eight hours every
day, working 'or exercising to the ex•
tent of keeping up a gentle moisture
on the skin. , This moisture conveys
the bile away out of the system: The
same result will be accomplished, but
not so well, by a good steam bath, or
by wrapping up in bed, drinking hot
teas, thus "getting up a perspiration ;"
but the atmosphere of the room should
be pure, and We diet for several days
should consist of coarse bread and
fruits. Medicines which "act on the
liver" will do the same thing, but they
should be advised by the physician,
when other means have failed.
The office of the liver is to withdraw
the bile from the blood. It is the• larg
est workshop of the body and is at the
right side, about the lower edge of the
ribs. When it does not do its work it is
said to be torpid,--asleep—and medi
cines are given to stimulate it, awake
it up, make it act, work faster than
common, so a.; to throw off the excoss
of bile. When it does not withdraw or
separate the bile from tho blood the
skin grows "yellow jaundice." When
it separates the bile from the blood,
but retains it within its'elf, — ofistielt•
tion ensues, appetite is lost, spirits be
come despondent, and the person is
languid, lazy, fretful, and irritable.
The liver is in a sense like a sponge,
and the bile may be pressed out of it
as water out of a sponge, by pressing
the ball of the hand over the region of
the liver downwards, from the hip to
"pit of stomach," two or three minutes
at a time, several times a day. This is
a good remedy in dyspepsia, and also
relieves the stomach of wind, giv
ing immediate and grateful relief some•
m es.— Hall's Jiotrnal of Hettlllt.
Stories of the late German War.
The German press still continues to
retail stories of the late war. A contri
butor to a Prague journal gives the
following to prove that shrewd May
ors are still living. As the Prussian
troops entered ono of the larger towns
of Bohemia, they
.were amazbd at the
desolate appearance of the streets, and
especially at the rows of solemn black
coffins at the town gates and other
places.
Having marched his troops to the
public square the Prussian general in
quired grimly of the Mayor what the
coffins meant.
To which the latter replied wit 4
great coolness :
"Nothing—only the cholera is'raging
hero terribly. it is in almost every
house, and the dead come so fast that
wo have to keep the coffins ready for
the l:oor people."
'hum !" quoth the General; that'll
do. Forwaerts—forward. march !"
Arid the Prussian regiment fled at
double-citric:k from the angel of death;
nor did they feel safe until in the nest
town.
It is said, however, that the Mayor
must have been mistaken, as the med
ical report for this week made no
mention of cholera in the town. .
Lately in Berlin,-says a traveler, I
met with an old German whom I had
formerly known in Aiberica. To my
amazement he had taken unto himself
a buxom Snavian wife.
"Well, old fellow," said the traveller,
"how under the sun come you to be
married ?"
"Oh, why, that's simple enough,"
was the-reply ; "my wife hadn't airy
husband, and I hadn't any wife, and
so we married one another,"
Not long since, in Saxony,a peasant
appeared before a judge to make it
charge. The judge being fully persua
ded that the man was about to commit
perjury, and bring a false charge for
the sake of injuring his neighbor, tried
in vain to make him by all manner of
representations of future punishment
and Christian laws to desist froin his
purpose. Finding it to be of no avail,
he suddenly exclaimed, turning to his
clerk :
"Well, then, open the window !"
"What shall I do that fur, when it's
so bitte' cold ?" replied he.
"Why—because if this fellow swears
a false oath the devil will come and
fly away with him, certainlY—L-and 1
don't want to have my windows bro
ken for such L goodd-for4mthing seoun
drcil'!"
The peasant looked aFed at the judge
—the judge looked solemnly at the
peasant—the peasant looked at the
open window—shuddered—put on his
hat, took his cane,, and bidding the
judge good morning, took his depart

A Child Eaten by Snakes.
In the early part of the month of
August last, a girl named Eliza Drum
mond, about 11 years of age, whose
parents live near West Monroe, in this
county, left home ono morning for the
purpose of picking berries, and never
since returned. The most diligent
search was made for her by the par•
cots nud neighbors, but no traces
could be found. The event, which
created a profound sensation at the
time,had almost passed from the minds
of all, save the stricken parents, when
it was painfully recalled by a recent
occurrence. On Tuesday last, five
or six lads went out hunting in the
vicinity, and during the day come up
on a spot whore a largo number of
black snakes were discovered and kill
ed.
The appearance of the reptiles in
such numbers and at this season of
the year was considered remarkable,
and it was suggested by ono of the
party that a breeding den must be
some w hero near. A search was i mine
din tely commenced, which resu!ted in
a manner far different from their ex
pectations.
In the side of a little hill near the
edge of a swamp, was found a sort of
opening, which in the summer was
concealed by tall grass and bushes. In
this opening
was found a human skele
ton from which every particle of flesh
had been taken. The bones were as
white as ivory, and all perfect. Near
by was a tin pail in a rusted condition,
and a tin cup. The boys were terribly
frightened, and gave the alarm. The
remains were taken from the mouth
of the den, and an examination show
ed that the place had been, and proba
bly now was, a breeding place for
black snakes. The boldest hesitated to
enter. The entrance, wnich was largo
enough for the admission of a man's
body, grew smaller and tendered down
ward. Lighted balls of hay, soaked
in kelosene, were thrown into the cav
ity, and in less than fifteen minutes
eighty-two snakes, rangin , 's in length
from one and a -half to four feet, were
killed.
The pail and cup were recognized
by Mr. and Mrs. Drummond as those
taken by their child when she went
away for the last time, physicians
pronounced the remains those of a fe
male child, and there can be no doubt

"Too Mum DITTO."—In a small vil
lage in New England lived an old
chap, who,:though very wealthy '
did
not possess a good education, and also
Aid not his wife. lie purchased most
of his household goods at a dry goods
and grocery store in the village, and
at the end of the year the bill was pre,-
sented for payment. On one occasion
in looking it over, ho 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 ?"
"rhaven't had a bit," she replied,
"You must have had it," he return
ed, "for M. always deals honestly by
me, and here it is on the bill. You can
see for yourself."
"I don't care if it is; I haven't had
any, and M. has cheated you; 1 al
ways said he would."
"Well, then I must see about it,"
he replied. So he trndged back to the
store.
"Look hcro, - 111.,wkat do you mean by
charging me with so much ditto ? I
haven't had any and my wife says she
hasn't."
When the old gentleman returned
home, his wife inquired if he found out
about the "ditto."
"Yes," said be, "I Dare found out
that I was a fool, and you was a dit
to."
re .= . The following story, is told of a
Yankee captain and his mate : When
ever there was a plum pudding made,
by the captain's orders, all the plums
were, put into one end of it, and that
placed next to the captain, who, after
helping himself, passed it to the mate,
who never found any plums in his
part of it. Well, after this game had
been played for sonic time, the mato
prevailed on the steward to place the
end which had no plums in it next to
captain. The captain no sooner saw
the pudding than he discovered he had
the wrong end of it. Picking up the
dish, and turning it in his hands, as if
merely for examining the china, he
said, "this dish cost'ine two shillings
in Liverpool," and put it down again
as though without design, with thci
plum end next to himself. "Is it possi
ble ?" said the mate, taking up the
dish ;"1 shouldn't suppose it was
worth more than a shilling," and, as it'
in perfect innocence, he put down the
dish Willi the plum end next to him•
self. The captain looked at the mate,
the mate looked at' the captan. The
captain laughed, the mate laughed,
"you've found mo out, so we'll just cut
the pudding legthwise thi§ time, and
have theeplums fairly distributed here
after."

a few days ago, is a woman of' the true
Christian stamp, full of faith. She
writes the story of her sorrow to her
friends who give her love's sympathy.
The sweet submission to God, and her
resignation under the bereaving
pulsation, is beautiful indeed. In af

"There were seven others made wi

"cic of these, living in Cincinnati,
when suddenly told of the death of her
husband, looked up a moment in utter
despair, and fell dead without a strug.

When my husband's body was brought
to my little desolate home, two weeks
ago, I said in my anguish, to a neigh
bor who had come in, 'I feel as if every
thing would go into the grave with
him.' My little Freddy, nine yearS
old, looked up and said, 'Mother, you
must not forget that we have God still;
Ho will take care of us.' Oh,' said she;
"how lie comforted me If it were
not for the hopes which religion brings
I do not think I could live."

Reformation of William Wirt,
The distinguished William Wirt,
within six or eight months after his
first marriage ' became addicted in
intemperanco,the effect of which operat
tell strongly on the mind and health
of his wife, and in a fow months .morn
she was numbered with the dead. Her
death led him to leave the country
where he resided, and he moved to,
Richmond, where he rose to distinc
tion. But his habits hung about . and
occasionally he was found with a jolly:
and frolicsome spirits . and bacohana

tulated with him to convince him of
the injury he-was doing himself. -8 . 4
he persisted. His practice vegan tet
fall off :and many looked on him wag on
the sure road to ruin. He-was adVis
ed to get married, with a view of cor,
recting his habits. This he:consented
to do if the right person offered. He
accordingly paid his address to veil

you evinced for me. But I cannot
yield my assent until you make a
pledge never to taste, touch or handle
any intoxicating drinks! This reply
to Wirt was as unexpected as it watt
novel. His reply was that he consid—
ered the proposition as a bar to alf
further consideration on the subject,
and he left her. Her coursetoNvardS
was the same as ever—his resentment
and neglect. In the - course of a fetq
weeks he went again and solicited her.

and regarded the terms- she propoged
as insulting to his honor ; and vowed
it should be the lagt meeting ony

run headlong to ruin.

skirts of the city, near a little grocery,
or grog shop, dead drunk,a young lady,
