• This plaintive song wrung, from the
heart - of. Thackery, when 'afflictions
came upon him, ,might well:,bo ours
when suffering under bereavement:
So each shall mourn, in life's advance,
Dear hopes, dearfriends, untimely killed;
Shall grieve fur hinny d forfeit chance ;
And longing prission unfulfilled. '
Amen I 'Whatever fate, hi sent,
• Pray God the heart-may kindly glow,
Although the head with 'care bo bent,
• And whitened with the Winter snow.
Come wealth or want, come good or ill,
Lot young and old accept their part;
And bow before the Awful Will,
And belt. it with an honest heart.'

But if you fail, or if you rise,

A Thrilling Adventure.
"Father will have done' the great
chimney to-night, won't he, mother ?"
said little Tommy Howard, as ho stood
waiting for his father's breakfast,which
ho carried to him at his work every
morning:
"He said that, he hoped that all the
scaffolding would be down to-night,"
answered the mother, "and that'll be a
fine sight, for I never like the ending
of those great chimneys, it, is so risky
for father to be last up."
4 -Oh ! then, but ['lt go and seek him
and help 'em to give a shout before he
Comes down," said Tom.
"and," continued the - niothet•, "if all
goes on right, we are to have a frolic
to-morrow, and go into the country,
and take our dinner, and 'lipoid all the
day long in the woods."
"Hurrah !" cried Torn, as he ran oft
to his father's place of work, with a
can of milk in one hand and some
bread in the other. His mother stood
at the door, watching him as he went
merrily whistling down the street,
and she thought of the dear father he
was going to, and the dangerous work
he was engaged in ; and her heart
sought its safe refuge, and she prayed
to God to protect and bless her treas
ure.
Tom with a light heart pursued his
way to his father, and leaving hiin his
breakfast. went to his own work, which
was at some distance. In the evening,
on his way home, no went around to
see bow his father was getting along .
James Howard, the father, and a
number of other workmen, had been
building ono of those lofty chimneys
which, in our manufacturing towns,
almost supply the place of our archi
tectural beauty. Thu chimney was of
the highest and most tapering that had
ever been erected, and as Tom shaded
his eyes front the sianting rays of the
settinr , sun, and looked up in search of
his father, his heart sank within him
at the appalling sight. The scaffold
ing was almost down—the men were
removing the beams and poles. Tom's
lixther stood alone at the top.
=l2
He then looked around to see that
everything was right, and then waving
his hat in the air, the men below an
swered him with a loud cheer, little
Tom shouting as laud as any of them.
As their voices died away, however,
they heard a different sound, a cry of
horror and alarm from above. '['he
men looked around and coiled upon
the ground lay the rope, which, betbre
the scaffolding was removed, should
have been fastened to the chimney, for
Tom's father to come down by. The
scaffolding had been removed without
remembering to take up the rope.
There was a dead silence. They all
knew it was impossible to throw the
rope up high enough to reach the top
of the ehimncy, or even it' possible; it
would hardly be safe. They stood in
silent dismay, unable to give any help
or think of any means of safety.
And Tom's father ? He walked
around and round the circle, the dizzy
height seeming more and more fearful,
and the solid earth farther and farther
from him. In the sudden panic ho
lost his presence of mind—his senses
failed him. He shut his eyes; he felt
as if the next moment he must be
dashed to pieces on the ground below.
The day passed as industriously as
usually with Tom's mother at home.
She was always busily employed for
her husband or children in some way,
and to-day she had been harder at
work than usual, getting ready for tho
holiday to-morrow. She had just fin
ished her arrangements, and her
thoughts, wore silently thanking God

blessings, when Tom ran in.
His face was as white as ashes, and
he could hardly got the words out.
"Mother! mother! he cannot get
down !"
"Who, lad—thy father ?" asked his
mother.
• "They have forgotten to leave him
the rope," answered Tom still scarcely
able to speak.
The mother started up, horror-struck,
and stood for a moment as if paralyzed,
then pressed her hands over her face,
as if to shut out the terrible picture,
and breathing a prayer to God for
help, rushed out of the house.
When she reached the place where
Tier husband was at work, a crowd had
gathered round the foot of the chim
ney, and stood quite helpless, gazing
up with their faces full of sorrow.
"Ho says he'll throw himself down."
"Thee manna do that, lad," cried the
wife with a hopeful voice ; "thee men
na do that—wait a bit: Tajo off thy
stocking, led, and •unravel it, and let
down the thread with a bit of mortar.

"pi;Opte stood around in breathless si

Mother coul be thinking of,
and - Why she sent him in such hea l s)
for the carpenter's ball of twine.
"Let down one end of the thread
with a bit of, gtone, and keep fast , hold

The little thread came waving devil]

- TOM held, the ball of twine; while
his metier 'tied one end' of 'it- to' tile

grew heavy and hard to pull, for Tom

as the string was drawn higher. •
There was but ono coil—it had retell

the' wife. Bho hid her face in• her
hands In silent prayer, tiotrembling
ly rejoiced. The iron 'to which it
should be fastened was there all right
—but would, her husband
-be able to
make use of it? Would not the terror
of the past have so unnerved him as
to prevent him from taking the nec
essary measures for safety? She did
not knew the magical influence her
few words had exercised over him.
She did not know the strength
that the sound of her voice, so calm
and steadfast, had filled him—as if the
little thread had carried the hope of
life once more, had conveyed to him
some portion of that faith in, God,
which nothing ever destroyed Or 0100 k
in her pure heart. She did not know
that, as she waited there, the words
came over him: "Why art thou cast
down, 0 my- soul, why art thou dis
quieted within me ? hope thou in God."
She lifted' her heart to God for hope
, and strength ' but, could do' nothing
i more fur her husband, and her heart
turned to God and rested upon him as
upon a rock.
There was a great shout.
"lie's safe, mother ; he's safe !" oried
Tom.
"Thou bast saved my life, my Mary,"
said the husband, folding her in his
arms. "But what ails you ? thou
seemest more sorry than glad about
it." But Mary could not speak, and
it' the strong arm of her husband had
not held her up she would have fallen
to the ground—the sudden joy, after
such tear, had overcome her.
"Torn, let thy mother loan on thy
shoulder," said his father, "arid wo will
take her home." And in their happy
home they poured forth their thanks
to God for his great goodness, and
their happy life together felt dearer
and holier for the peril it had been in,
and in the nearness of the danger that
had brought them unto God. And

- The Mystery of an Old Fort.
A letter writer, in describing Fort
Marion, one of the defences of St. Au
gustine, Fla., gives the following story:
Fort Marion has an old, solemn, and
rather threatening warlike appearance.
The outer wall, five feet thick, of the
material called coquina (kokoina),
found in great abundance on the beach,
near the lighthouse, has quite a slant,
or inclination inward, several degrees
from a perpendicular. An inner wall,
two and a half feet thick, standing per
pendicular, keeps in position a bank of
sand eight or ten feet thick between
the outer and inner walls. Behind
these walls are arranged the casements,
strongly arched overhead, ant extend
ing all around the interior, Upon
these arches and the walls a floor of
brick, stone, and concrete is laid,
whereon the heavy guns of the fort
are placed; very few are in position
now. Within the enclosure of the fort
below aro piles of cannon balls and
quite a number of old Spanish guns,
partly eaten by rust. In 1858, while
pulling some heavy guns in position
on the fort an arch gave way, making
a hole some fivo feet wide, disclosing a
cell hitherto unknown to any person
living. In this new and strange apart
ment wore found one or two gun car
riages, made of mahogany, finely
wrought. During the excavations
made by the officers, one of theM acci
dentally discovered the appearance of
a doorway that had been masoned up.
They determined to test the reality of
the suggestion, and removing a few
stones revealed an opening into anoth
er coil, whore was found a bedstead, on
which lay the skeleton of a mau chain
ed to a huge staple in the wall ; beside.
the bed stood an open mahogany chest
five feet long, two and a half feet wide,
sides of plank two inches thick, mount
ed with huge iron strap hinges and three
enormous locks. .No clue has yet been
found to the history of this case, or
the offence of this -terribly punished
victim.

of the occupant in many cases. The

is the state of the undriod plastering.

The process is somewhat like that by
which nature converts certain miner
als in the earth into steno.
When plaster is applied to laths, it
dries rapidly and thoroughly; but yet
it is wholly unsafe to inhabit a dwell
ing only recently plastered. When a
house is occupied too soon it is as if the
walls consisted of water and the damp
ness were inhaled at 'every breath:"
Very. obstinate 'cases of sickness pro

When, sleep is affected by damp

The main cause, the dampness of the
house, is a continuing cause of disease.
Mary houses are now being con

The assertion that they are thoroughly
dried will unquestionably be made by
persons having them for sale or to let;
and although many of them will bo
stimulated by ambitious wives and
husbands to move into them, for the
sake of losing no time in making ap
propriate display-, it will be far wiser to
wait for a whole year after a house is
finished, and use in the winter furna
ces, and in the summer drying winds,
to render it safely habitable.
Although moving from a dry to a
damp house ought to be regarded as a
sufficient cause for serious ill-health,
there arc but few who perceive it, in
asmuch as it is the interest. of many
persons to keep the true cause away
trom observation, in order that new
houses may not remain on their hands
unoccupied by tenants, and also that
there may be patients needing to be
cured. The condition in this respect
of the house into which one designs
moving cannot be too carefully weigh
ed, or a new case may bo furnished to
aid the too popular conviction which
ignorance so readily assigns in such
cases as a cause of death if it occur.—

LTho Philadelphia Ledger pub
lishes a much longer list of marriages
and deaths than any other paper in
that city. Many of the defunct per
sonages are fond of poetical notices of
a hopeful or mournful nature, and
there are several quite remarkable
verses which aro popular for this sort
of work. For instance, the line "gone
but not forgotten" is as popular as it
is absurd, for the subject of the notice
is so recently gone and as yet unbur
ied, so that even the worst memory
would find it difficult, under the cir
cumstances, to lose him. Here is a
badly rhymed favorite :
To that bright land our Mamie's gone,
For Jesus bade her come •;_
Ho took her from this world of woe,
To live with Him at bane.
The last line is forced to close this
remarkable production :
Short was her suffering,
Hard was her pain,
No murmur escaped her,
None heard her complain,
May the sun shine brightly
And the rain fall lightly
On our little Sarah's grave.
Gone, but not forgotten.
And for all full grown men this pe
culiar little gem is the especial favor
ite. We have often seen it three or
four times in the same paper
None knew him but to love him
Ms strong spirit's fled
To the Lord above,
While his active limbs
Lie mouldering in the dust.
Funeral Thoughts,
Fellow mortals, what are the feelings
which prompt you to attend funerals? Are
you influenced merely by idle curiosity?--
Did you go to syrnpathip with bereaved
friends? Or was it to hear what the minis
ter had to say on the Occasion ? It conld not
be through idle curiosity, for this is too
solemn a place—sobs: tears, a shroud, a cof
fin, a grave. Oh 1 who could seek to while
away time here? To sympathize with friends.
This is right, your presence cheers in some
degree, the mourning ones. For oh, how
hard it is to see that dead one carried away
from home, neglected. But this is humane.
We should weep with 'those who weep; Jesus
wept with Mary and Martha, and well you
may weep. You knew him well ; you walk
ed, talked.and• enjoyed yourself with him,
but you shall do so no more. The light is
put out of his eye, hie voice has lost its mel
odies and his beauty hai faded and gone.
Yes. weep, your tears become you, your sor
row is just. This tender overflowing of the
soul humanity requires and reason well ap
proves.
Here, too, contemplate your latter end.—
Topr present place is a favorable one for this.
Let the shroud, the coffin, the grave, dark
ness, corruption, worms, duet and bones
speak--,.theee are sure to become your appa
rel, house, bed, cover, portiqq, companions,
and eta Think of your breath failihg, your
throat rattling, your eyes growing dim; cold
sweat gathering en your forehead and friends
weeping. Think of all these ne you hear the
words, "earth to cArth, ashes to ashes, duet
to dust." ALPLIA.

GOING HOME WITH THE GIRLS.—Thei
entrance to society may be said, to
take place after boyhood has passed
away-, yet a multitude take the initis,
tive before their hearts• are presenta
ble. It is a great trial to tender op
tough age. For any overgrown boy.
to go to a door, knowing there are a
dozen girls within and knock or ring
with absolute certainty that in two
minutes all their eyes will be upon
him, is a severe test of courage. To
go before these girls and make a satis
factory tour of the room without step:
ping cp their toes, and then' sit down
and dispose of one's pockets is aq
achievement of which few can boast.
If a boy can get so far as to measure
off ton yards of tape and manage to
cut it short at one end be may stand o
pleasant chance to spend a pleasant
evening; but let him not flatter the
trials of the evening are over. Thera
comes at last the breaking up. The
dear girls don their hoods and put on
their shawls, and look so saucy, se
mischievous and impressible, as if
they did not wish any one to go Immo
with them. Then comes the pinch,
and the boy having the moot pluck
makes up to the prettiest girl, his
heart in his throat, and his tongue
slinging to the roof of his mouth, and
crooking his elbow, stammers out the
words : "Shall I see you home r" Shp
touches her finger to hiti• arm, and
thus they walk home about a foot
apart, feeling as awkward au goslings.
As soon as she is safe inside her own
doors, he strata home and reallye
thinks he has been and done it.—.Ayie,
