The morning winds moved gently The reddening maple tree, Where the blue birds and the robbing Piped their spring-time•minstrelsy. The audience roes, was very large, The audience rather small— Peering through half closed window blinds, One "family circle'; all: The curtain rose at break of day, Dissolving int:, air ; The singers promptly were in place, For morning praise and prayer. The little chirping soloists, — And choristers as well, Thrilled clearly all the higher noses, And to the lowest fell. So perfectly, in time and tune, So blithely, and sb gay, While the King of Day, from the eastern sky, Throws his robes of night away. And in his car of molten gold, With cloud-steeds snowy white On perfumed breath—the morning air, Rode up the Empyrean height, In regal robes and royal state, Passing our maple tree, Where the blue birds and the robins Sang their morning melody. No flats, no sliarps, not one false ;rote, None hired to cry "encore;" The daily programme warbled through, All this and nothing more, Comprising spring-time songs of joy, At early break of day, From the blue-birds and the robins, In a genuine matinee. _ _ With earnest listeners only— With only those who hear The song of-the-birds - in spring-time, With ewer listening ear ; The sky for an auditorium, The budding.trees fer bowers For 4 gueSt the Sun of the morning, Stich atvery precious hours. , But, ah, the concert closes • Too soon, by far, each day, And we look, and wait, and listen, As the bird•notes die away In the dips and vaulted distance Of the blue, ethereal sky, Leaving rainbow tints of beauty, At our feet, as the world goes by.

IC. Late Hours. Late hours are:carrying more people to untimely graves than the . deadly missiles of warfare. The bullet and the crashing shell mangle limbs and inflict flesh wOtinds, but. midnight dissipation impairs the whole system, and hurries all .ages and sexes under"the sod. This trrowing ten dency to turn night . intq day 3s one:of the most serious of our social evils and should receive the earnest consideration e. those interested in this welfare of: the huut}n race. By looking back at the newspapers of that time. it Will be found that New Yorkers, fititelie6=ing or this century, departed from places of amasemecit nht far from the time-at rthialt they nowester them. The doors of the theatre opened at 'half-past five O'clock, and the Curtin Arose at half-past six." The early kni4erboak ers attended parties and other social gath erings at seven, and returned home be tween nine and ten Now all this is changed, and "between nine and ten" is the fashionable he - ur Tim going out. And what is true of grOWn people is rapidly -becoming true of juve niles. .Youngsters in roundabouts—and misses in short dresses are arrangiugtheir finery keg alter the hour when children of the last generation were tneked away in their trundle-beds. Little ones-=service loosened from their motherkeer aprorrotrings '—and dispatched in carriages to "chil dren's parties," from half-paA eight until half 7 past nine, and brought home at mid night Of later. "Don't Nave the 'carriage yet,' said a little miss in our hearing a few evenings since; no one else .will thEre until lf-past nine;" and, with, that she gave a toss of her head, as much as to say that shd was not going to keep an less fashionable hours than her matnnia: There is certainly no oe,:asion'to go be yond. this condition of afikirs for an ex planation of the physical deterioration of both sexes. Ilow very few __robust men and women are to he .found now-a4lays! Ilan we not each count on our fingers' ends all the friends and Acquaintances who gre free from bodily- ailments and•renjoy good health? We comment upon the:fact that young men become bald and prema turely grow old ; that young ladies are al most invariably complaining Of pain balite bead or side, have a pale weary look; • and rarely exhibit those . ruddy catutenances which are Fo _ common among their English sisters. But does it occur to pa rents that they are to a &Teat extent re sponsible for this; that they"dre mainly to blame that fashionable revelry and dis sipation are now protracted far into, the night, robbing old and young. health ? If they in throwing open their houses to company trill that the guests shall retire at a reasonable hour, the guests will do so. • The prevailing fashion cannot he per petuated without the consent of the "heads of the establishment." However late the "young folks' may desire to prii tract their festivities, they must conform to the• requirements of the: "old folks," the lio4se-holders. We say, then, it is not the young, the youthful pleasure seekers who are responsible for the late hour folly so much as the parents, who have it in their power to stop it. So fhr as children are concerned,' parents do them great wrong in either encouraging or permitting an indulgence in late hour festivities and entertainments. If they will not conform themselves to the laws of health, the least they can do is to prevent their children from adopting their own ruinous practices. "Early to bed and early to rise" is a mai im which cannot be to strictly observed by both old and young.—Hearth. amt Home. Pat's Colt A gentleinan who favors us with some reminiscences re.ipecting the early settle ment of old De.rryheld, N. }l.,—relates the following anecdote: . Wheti my grandfather resided at Gogg town and Derryfield, then sated by the Irish, he hired a wild sort of an' Irishinan to work on his farm. One day soon after his:arrival, ho told him to take abridle and go out in the field and catch theblack-colt. "Don't couio without him," said the old gentle Men.
