Columbia my Home Awake, tardy muse. from thy fondest oblation, Where lib. rty's votaries ardently bow, Promulgate the praise of the glad dispensation, That placed freedom's chaplet on poverty's brow. Let Erin's eons boast of the Shamrock and ilaisica, That mingle their beauties beyond the blue foam ; Our heaven-blest clime e'en from their hearts erases A tithe of their love for their green sunny home. Columbia's vales boast a lustre ae verdant As ever illumined "The Gem of the Sea;" There springs from her bosom no measure discordant To lop the fair branches of liberty's tree. Though dear to my heart is the land of my fathers, Her emerald plains how sublime'y they bloom; • Yet 'round freedom's altar how gladly we gather, Beneath the clear skies of Columbia, my home. With joy I survey the proud mountains that tower Above the lightclouds touching heaven's blue dome, A type they appear of the sceptre pf power, That sways o'er the soil of Columbia, my home. Deep down in my heart abides the holy devotion, From infancy's dawn has its radiance shown, As well seek to check earth's rotatory motion As lessen my love for Columbia, my home. Oh, waleity the soul fill with thrilling emotion, As over her green fielus we joyously roam, For no fairer margin embraces the ocean, Than circles the land of Columbia, my home. Morg-Zelltr, THE MURDERED BANKER , The white, ghastly face of a corpse, with its wide open eyes staring vacantly up to the sky. Acre was an expression of min gled fright and pain upon the drawn fea tures, and a pool of blood stood fresh and red beside the body. A cut in the breast, from which the blood was still oozing, told the cause of the terrible death. This was what George Lintorn saw one moonlight night, in a back street of a large city. For a moment he bent over the body, with the bloody knife with which the deed was done in his hand, having fund it lying in the gore. But he had stood thus only a moment, when a heavy hand was laid upon his shoulder. He turned quickly and was con fronted by two officers. "What have we here ?" exclaimed one of the officers. "A murder. lam afraid," replied Lin "Don't you know the man ?" continued the officer. Lintorn looked close in the dead man's face. "Heavens !" he exclaimed, "it is Mr. Conway, my employer! We must remove him at once. Perhaps life is not yet ex ti oct." The officer who had first spoken placed his hand over the murdered man's heart. "lle is dead," he said, "dead as a stone. But we must move him, I suppose, all the same." ...... ZO 07 800 Lifting the body between them, the three men carried it to the police•station. There it was laid upon a bench, and the half dozen sleeping officers were aroused. "I will go and inform his family," said . Linton), moving towards the door. _ _ One of the two officers who had found him with the corpse interposed his burly form. "No," he said a little roughly, "you don't stir a step." "Why ?" asked the young man indig nantly. "Because it looks very much as though you are the one that did the stabbinc.— Leastways, I don't mean that you'll get a chance to run." Turning pale and trembling in every limb with an undefinable dread, Lintorn could not at first articulate a single word. "How dare you accuse me of murder?" he said, at length. "Well, everything looks that way," was the reply. "We found you bending over the body, with the knife, all covered with blood, in your hand." An appreciation of his terrible peril flashed upon Lintorn, and he sank into a chair, almost overpowered. He knew, too, what the officers then did not, that he that day had been discharged by Mr. Conway. Here, then. was a motive, to add to the al ready terribly strong circumstantial evi dence. He saw it all, but saw no hope. One year before this George Lintorn had come to the town, an entire btranger, with oat relations, friends, or money. His good appearance, energy, and talent 'had, how ever, secured him a position in the only banking-house in the place, that of the rich 'Mr. Conway. He very soon became a favorite with his employer, at whose resi dence he was a welcome visitor. BW2 84 The Conway family consisted of a wife and daughter, the latter a girl of twenty, named Lillie. The father was a proud, self-willed man, whose word was law and gospel in his house; but the wife was op posite in disposition. Modest, retiring, and sweet-tempered, she was as full of sweet graces as her husband was of bluntness.— Lillie united the kind-heartedness of the mother with the father's decision of char acter. Between Lillie and George there speed ily sprang up something stronger than friendly regard. There tastes were so con genial, and their society so mutually agree able, that, being sensible young people, they naturally looked forward to matri mony, for a continuance of their intimacy for life. 8162 96 On the day preceding his murder, Mr. Conway had been at his place of business as usual. In the afternoon George Liutorn entered the private office. The quick eye of the employer saw that something wore than routine bwiness had brought his clerk. "Mr. Conway," began George, respect fully, "I wish to speak a word with you." "Very well," replied the banker. "I am listening." '•lt is in reference to your daughter, sir." $1,012 57 Here the banker turned in his chair, and faced the young man, and waited fur him to continue. 'Your daughter loves me," said George, coming at once to the point, "and I love her. I wish to beg your consent to our marriage." Mr. Conway was angry. His face grew red, and his fingers clutched the chair nervously. "You—a beggar!' he exclaimed, "is this the way you reward me fur the good usage I have given you? Leave my em ploy instantly, you presumptuous rascal ! Here, Bascom !" HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY,. FEBRUARY 18, 1874 Mr. Bascom, the cashier entered at the summons. "Pay Mr. Lintorn his wages to date," said Mr. Conway, "he is discharged." "You will repent this," muttered George, scarcely aware that he was using a threat that would afterwards tell against him. After his arrest George Lintorn was locked up far the night, and on thefollow ing morning, was taken before a magistrate for examination. The two officers swore to the circum stances of the arrest, and Mr. Bascom to the revengeful threat. The evidence was deemed strong enough to justify the prisoner's commitment with out bail, and shortly afterwards he was in dicted by the grand jury. As the day for the trial approached no hope for the prisoner dawned. - He was, however, comforted by one, to him, very consoling fact. The girl he loved, the daughter of the murdered man, fully be. lieved in his innocence. Without stopping to reason the whys and the wherefores, her trusting love bridged over all doubt. She visited him daily in his cell, and her mon ey fought the almost hopeless battle for his life. he engaged the best legal talent, but, when the trial came, all seemed in vain. The two officers were the first wit nesses, and their evidence W 314 direct and terribly convincing. When the trial adjourned for the day it looked black enough for the poor prisoner. That night was a sleepless one for George Lintorn; but be was not the only one wakeful with ataiety for his fate. • Lillie Conway broken with grief by her father's death, and fearfully solicitous re garding her lover, did not close her eyes in sleep until nearly morning, and when she did full into a fitful slumber it was to dream of her troubles. At length she was awakened by the sound of a window being raised carefully. Looking quickly towards a window open ing upon the rear of the house, she saw the arm, followed by the body of a man Fright sealed her lips, and she lay perfect ly motionless. In the dim light she saw another man enter, and then that they were the officers who had found her father's body. They came softly towards the bed, and Lillie feigned sleep. One took from his pocket a vial, saturated a handkerchief with chloroform, and held it to her nose. By a strong effort she held her breath until he took it away which he very soon did in or der to ascertain its effect. Her motionless body seemed to satisfy him, being na judge of such matters, and after testing her with a rough shake be said: "She's all right, Bill. Now where's the box?" "It must be safe, I reckon, to judge by the key. I only hope to get more money in it than the old buffer had in his pock et." With this they entered the adjoining room wherein stood a small house-safe, in which Mr. Conway had been accustomed to keep money and valuables. Lillie in stantly guessed the truth. These men had murdere her father, and now sought to avail themselves of the key found on his person. Leaping lightly from her bed, she softly closed the door of the room in which the murderers were now working at the safe, and turned the key in the lock. She then ran to a front window andscreamed loudly for help. Some chance passers-by rawd ed, the servants were aroused, and to officers were secured. Their opportune capture and subsequent conviction saved the life of George Lintorn, who was in due time married to his sweetheart and sa- viour, pfiaing fov Our New York Letter, The "Beautiful" Snout—Shoes Kettle Drums— tiommercc—Ruts. NEW YORK, February 16, 1874. • THE SNOW. Snow in a country is one of the most pleasant incidents of life. From the far mer who has logs and wood, to get out to a school-boy who has long waited for an opportunity to get out his slid, it is a good thing. But snow in New York is an un mitigated curse—a curse without a redeem ing feature or 4 mitigating circumstance. I write feelingly, for New York is suffer ing from snow at this time. Last week a very heavy snow fell, as it did all over the country. Here it was, and is, frightful. The moment the snow was an inch deep the trouble commenced. The street car companies were compelled to double teams, which, as they have just enough horses fur their cars, reduced tha number of cars just a half, at the very time when the ears should be doubled. Hundreds of thous ands of poor people live, of necessity, three or four miles from their places of labor. The withdrawal of half the cars compelled fully the half of then, to walk to their wretched homes. Imagine a poor, weak, half clad woman or girl walking through six inches of snow in a blinding storm four miles, after twelve hours of exhaustive la bor ! This is what the poor of New York were compelled to do this week. As a matter of course the terrific storm filled the station houses with the shiver ing poor, who, but for these refuges, would have perished in the streets. Many touch ing incidents are related. Last evening a laborer, with his with and six children, entered the Mulberry Street station and asked Captain Clinchy for shelter. The kind officer put them in a warm cell, when the woman asked him to be allowed to go out and get food for the children. Seeing how weak she was Capt. Clinchy told her to give him the money and he would send. The woman handed Capt. Clinchy four cents. "What sort of a supper do you in tend to get with this ?" "Bread, sir!" "Well, you won't get enough for yourself for four cents." "That's so, but I and my husband can do without." Handing her the four cents Capt. Clinehy went to a baker's and returned with three loaves, some ham and fish, and a subscription was raised among the men, all of whom gave their mite to assist the poor family. That night, at the Academy of Music, there was an Opera—seats s4—crowded with people clad in silks, satins, velvets and furs, and the air redolent with perfumes. In the gorgeous mansions up town society was holding high carnival, each vieing with the other in recklessness of expendiature. What extremes ! A family living on $lOO,- 000 a year—another trying to make a sup perl on four cents ! And all descended from Adam ! FASHION CHANGES • Fashion is fickle and its slaves obedient. If Fashion decrees bonnets ten feet high, ten feet high would be worn, and should fashion decree bonnets as fiat as a pie dish, these would be - worn. For several years the fashion in shoes has been absolutely cruel. The shoe was made as narrow as the foot—the sole much narrower than the upper, and the heel—Heavens ! two inches was common and three not uncommon, and it was set almost in the centre of the foot. Walking could only be accomplished with pain; with such shoes and corns, and bunions were multiplied fearfully. But fashion has blundered into a good thing for once. The new shoe, which every fashionable woman in New York must wear, is square-toed ; the soles project be. yound the uppers and the heel is not only broad but is of a proper length. and set where a heel ought to be set. This is a shoe that a woman can walk in and enjoy it. How eagerly the little dears must have looked for the coming home of the first pair of the new style ! With what a feel ing of relief they must have flung into the street the high-heeled, narrow-soled tor tures that they had endured so long ! flow like little lambs they must have leaped and frisked in their new freedom ! This act of emancipation will bring well nigh as much happiness to the world as that of Lincoln. The chiropodists (as the corn doctors style'theinselves) will mourn, but there will be rejoicing in the feminine world. THE KETTLE DRUM Is the last folly of this mostfoolish city.— Do you wish to know what a kettle drum is? Well, a lady invites her friends to her house from four to six P. N. Tea ismade by the hostess in the parlor and each lady takes a cup thereof to the gentleman whom she prefers. If he says "Sugar, please," she remains with him—if not she leaves him. She can only offer tea to one gentle man. Now it will almost happen that some one gentleman will have no tea offered him. The hostess provides a kettle drum in a cornor of the parlor, and this luckless wight must go to that drum and beat it, not loudly, throughout the entertainment, or until a later unfortunate relieves him. The rub a-dub of the druni makes just enough noise to enable the couples proper ly mated to indulge in all the soft talk they desire with ant being overheard, and the luckless drummer makes an excellent butt for all the small wits present. The tea is taken through straws, as male drink ers in saloons take cobblers and juleps.— By theway, Russian tea is the variety of fered at these entertainments. Russian tea is the ordinary tea, with a slice of lem on added to each cup. How long this ab surd thing will last no one knows, but it is all the rage now. Frivolous New York has to have something new which is not profound enough to require thought, all the time. The spectacle of a full grown man beating a kettle drum for two hours is one of exceptional sublimity. THE COMMERCE OF NEW YORK. The merchants of New York are in sore trouble. The fact is, the exporting of grain from this city is growing small by degrees and beautifully less. Montreal is taking it one side, and Baltimore and Philadelphia on the other. For instance the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Pennsylvania Central have both reached out to Toledo, the second grain market of the country— the latter having built a branch to that city—and a large proportion of the enor mous quantity of grain gathered at Toledo has been diverted to thse points. Then Toledo has got into a habit of sending another moiety of her grain to Montreal, for the Montrealers deal liberally and fair ly with the forwarders. A vessel loaded with grain from Toledo, say, goes direct to Montreal, where it is unloaded into En glish vessels, with no charges except for handling, and that charge being rea sonable. Now New York has no facilities, and no system. Grain has to be handled in trucks and loaded by all sorts of primitive appli ances, and besides, there are charges piled upon charges from the time it strikes Buf falo till it gets upon ship-board. In Buf falo it has to be taken from vessels into elevators, and charges are loaded on it for elevating, insurance, and re-loading into canal-boats. Then comes the toile on the canal, and then in New York the charges for unloading, insurance, carting, handling and re loading. It is easy to see why grain avoids this route as much as possible. The Cheap Transportation Association of New York are trying to better this con dition of things. Their Committee on Terminal Facilities recommend the con struction of warehouses of large capacity along the water front to which freight may be taken by a double-track railway, and from which it may be shipped without cartage. Several plans for effecting this are discussed. It is claimed by the com mittee that tiwe, expense and loss by weather and theft will thus be saved. The establishment of grain elevators on the river fronts of New York and Jersey City is also urged, and of large warehouses for storing and buying and selling cotton. This is well enough, as far as it goes, but it is not enough to hold the trade for New York. The Erie Canal ought to be en larged so as to admit boats of twice the present capacity, and it should be kept free to all, without tolls. Then grain should be loaded from the lake to the boats, with out paying tribute to Buffalo. This, with the improvements mentioned above, will restore the trade to New York and nothing del will. BATS. A society has been organized in the city—for what Y Why to promote the con• sumptiou of rats as food One enthusiast seers that as compared with rats, squir rels, rabbits and chickens are diminutive tubers. The Parisians ate them during the seine, and the rat was pronounced good eating. People could live cheaply in New York if they could only come to liking rodents. PIETRO. Benefit of one Advertisement If there is cne man on this continent above another who appreciates the benefit of advertising, it is Orange Judd. A number of years ago, when he and his wife spent their evenings in putting up pack ages; and a penny had its fell value to them, lie sent a buy with a check tier $lOO to the "Herald" office, with instructions to pay what was due, and leave the rest for future advertising. The boy, being dull of comprehension, did not understand him, and told the book-keeper to use one hundred dollars for one day. The next morning what was Mr Judd's horror on taking up the "Herald" to see "Read the American Agriculturist' repeated for nearly a whole column. He rushed down to the office for an explanation and found that they oul .• followed [instructions and there was no help fork. "We are ruined," he said to his wife, "a whole year's adver tising one in a day." But instead of being his ruin it was the beginning of Lis success. Immediately subscriptions poured in from all parts of the country. The Agriculturist soon became an institution, and its proprietor was one of the richest men in New York. How the Lover was Lost , Everybody wonders how Lucy Wills lost her lover. She is a very pretty girl as well as accomplished and intelligent. Dr. Hampton was a great catch; and when he came to Nortonsburg , Lucy was not the only girl who determined to "set her cap" for him, and Mrs. Grundy wondered who would captivate him; but very soon the young physician showed a strong prefer ence for Lucy, and pretty little Lucy was delighted. Every few days they were seen together, riding, walking, sailing, etc., and the little boys counted the dimes they had made carrying water-melons and things from the doctor to Miss Lucy. But all at once his attention ceased. For a time he moved about in a very quiet way ; then he began to visit Alice Leigh, and the village gossips wondered why it was so. But you see they didn't know anything of the buggy ride Lucy took with the doctor, the accident that happened, nor what came of it. Lucy knows why she lost him, and so does the doctor, but she never will tell, and he's a perfect gentleman. You . must understand the doctor had not fully declared himself, but he intended do ing so and concluded 'twould be so nice to whisper the words in her ears as they drove along the shady turnpike. He in vited her to drive out with him, she ac cepted, and away they went. They were very gay, quoting poetry and making love in the round-about way that comes just before the declaratien, when the doctor's horse backed his ears, shook his head, kicked and did so many things that Lucy became frightened, and before her lover could prevent it, jumped from the buggy. Dr. llampton, after quieting his horse, went to her. "Darling, are you hurt 7" be asked, Lucy blushed.. "1 believe—l think I've sprained my— my foot. It was very foolish in me to do so —but I can walk to the buggy, and we must go home." She attempted to walk, but fell back powerless in her lover's arms. "You are hurt," he said, "you must let me see your foot," clad in a neatly-fitting boot. "Your shoe will have to come off," he said, "the ankle is swollen very much." "Oh, no, no, no, go away," she said, as he began unlacing her boot. ''You shall not take off my shoe." But here the keen pain struck her again, and she faint ed while her lover removed her tiny boot. But immediately he started back in amaze ment, for there before his bewildered gaze were the five tiny toes of his lady-love peeping out from an immense hole at one extremity of her stocking , while at the other was a little round heel peeping out as slyly as the toes, and then the doctor knew his little dream was over, for of all things, he admired neatness in a woman more than anything else. When Lucy re covered, he carried her to the buggy, was kind and gentle, took her home, but the intended proposal was left unsaid. Lucy knew she bad lost him, and rea soned with herself. "He had no business to take off my shoe." And he thought to himself, "She had no business wearing stockings with holes in them." Accidents will happen, young ladies, and the safest plan always is to be neat, and not think as Lucy did, "Oh, those holes will never be seen, they're away down in my boot," for if you do, your fate may some day be the same as hers. How our Girls Commit Suicide. Mrs. Stanton lectured in Harlem, a short time ago, on "The Girl of the Fe. ture." The burden of her remarks was an attack upon the present fashion of dress. She said: When nine-tenths of the wives are inva lids, and the number of girls sent to the lunatic asylums increase every year, it is time to look after the causes of this condi tion; for when the human current sets toward the hospital and the lunatic asylum, we may well say, what are we coming to? When we remember that deep breathing is essential to deep thinking, we see the relationship between scholarship and clothes. The cadets at West Point once threw away their suspenders and fastened their garments around their waist. In a few weeks a disease broke out which was unaccountable. When it was suggested that the waist band had something to do with it, the suspenders were resumed, and soon the disease disappeared, Artists turn away from the daughters of Adams and Hancock to copy the Venus and Madonnas which were taken from living models ofthe past. Women affect to dislike small waists, always declaring when attacked that their clothing is loose, that they are small naturally ; which means that God, by way of makinc , variety in the human species, lapped the ribs of the American woman. The tight waist pre vents free action of the blood, heart and lungs, and paralyzes a belt of the nerves and muscles at least six inches in width. The time will come when we shall be as much ashamed of headache, dyspepsia, scrofula. and pneumonia, as we now are of committing perjury, theft, burglary or arson - 0 —.......-....--__ The Local Editor's Dream Once upon a time a local editor dream ed that he was dead, and in another world. He approached the gate of the city befbre him, and knocked for admittance, but no one answered his summons. The gate re mained closed against him. Theo he cried aloud for" an entrance, but the only res ponse were scores of heads appearing above Ote wall on each side of the gate. At sight of him the owners of the heads set up a dismal howl, and one of them cried : "Why didn't yon notice the big egg I gave you?"At this horrid and most unexpec ted interrogation the poor local turned in the direction of the voice to learn its own er, when another voice shrieked, "Where's the piece you were going to write about my soda fountain ?" And close upon this was the awful demand. "Why did you write a piece about old Peddle's fence, and nev er say a word about - my new gate ?" What ever answer he was going to form to this appeal was cut abruptly off by the aston ishing query: "What did you spell my name wrong in the programme for ?" The miserable man turned to flee, when he was rooted to the spot by this terrible demand : "Why did you put my marriage among the deaths ?" He was on the point of say ing the foreman did it, when a shrill voice maly cried : "What made you put in my runaway, and spoil the sale of my horse ?" And this was followed by the voice of a female hysterically proclaiming : "This is the brute that botched my poetry, and made me ridiculous !" Whereupon hun dreds of voices screamed : "Where's my article? ;ire me back my article." And in the midst of the horrid din the poor wretch awoke, perspiring at ever pore, and screaming for help. The next day he re signed, and we had to hunt up another local editor.—Danbury News. Tit-Bits Taken on the Fly Bricks are now manufactured from coal shale.

They are the threads that make its woof and warp, and the life is dark or bright accordingly as these little threads are black or golden. It is grains of sand that make the ocean beach, the globules of water that make up the ocean itself, and singularly enough, these grains of sand, and these globules of water are, each, se parate, detached and distinct. Each forms part of the mass of a myriad of atoms; each day of the years that make it up is a teeming history of acts, words, adventures, incidents, relations, thoughts, hopes, griefs, fears, and emotions, each standing by its self. but all connected together. We may not neglect these individual trifles, and expect the mass they compose to be satisfactory. Even a word or a tone of vaice may make a day bright or dark ; the shadow on the face of a friend casual ly met, will reflect a shadow on our own heart, gives us a feelitrz of depression that we cannot comprehend, and which cannot be thrown away. A letter containing a few brief lines from an absent relattve, will sometimes drive all the clouds from our sky and make the dreariest winter day as sweet as sum mer. We read the letter in an instant, cast it aside, and imagine it is forgotten— so trifling and foolish it is; but it is not forgotten ;it floats like a cadence around wherever we go ; it makes us strong, buoy ant and hopeful. Our moods have much to do with hap piness; they come over us like a bath of sunlight, or creep upon us like a shadow —we cannot tell how ; but there is al ways a specified cause for them. It may be so minute as to escape attention in the mass of events and incidents that make up the day's history; but if we search pati ently we will discover that the joy that has attended us all day long, had its source in some look of love, word of sympathy, or some gratifying success in the execution of a triliug task ; and that the "blues" that haunt us, are the reflections from a cold face, or the result of some petty annoyance. Happiness does not come to us in heaps, and it is foolish to imagine that we can by a great heroic effort of perseverance and care, bring down an avalanche of it enough to last a life time. Nor is it dependent on times and seasons; we cannot be hap py at some distant day by being very mis erable now. Joy comes in batches—some times in specks, which we should make the most of while they last. It is like a scant shower of gold dust, scattered through our lives—not to make them all happy, but to relieve them of their heavi ness and sorrow. Do Rright Everywhere. Man's only safety is in doing right at all times, and under all circumstances. It is Satan's trick to make our doing right depend on times and seasons, on persons and places. He who does wrong because no one will know it, will be terribly dis appointed when his sins shall find him out. He who ceases to be watchful and circum spect in the presence of his friends, will find that those friends in whom he thus confided in an unguarded hour, will betray his confidence and become his foes ; will rebuke what they:have before justified, and accuse him of the very acts which they aided and encouraged him in. Do right everywhere. There is no safe ty in sin. Confide, in no one; presume upon nothing, sufficiently to do that which is wrong. The watching eye of God is upon us, and when we depart from him he has ten thousand rods with which to chas .ten us and correct our faults. Trust not in friends; trust not in secrecy, trust not in lies—do right everywhere, and trust in God to give victory and rest. Do not fol low the multitude to do el il. Do not be a time-server nor a tool. Stand boldly up fbr truth and righteousness, and ever live with a solemn consciousness of direct and personal responsibility to God. Make no compromise with error, sin, and wrong; strike no bargains with Satan, everything which he proposes is a trap, everything that he promises is a delusion and snare. Man is weak, Satan wily, only God is true. Trust in Him; do right everywhere, and He shall protect, direct, and save you at the end. Rest in Heaven There are no weary heads or weary hearts on the other aide of Jordan. The rest of heaven will be sweeter for the toils of earth. The value of eternal rest will be enhanced by the troubles of time. Jesus now allows us to rest on his bosom. He will soon bring no to rest in his Father's house. His rest will be glorious. A rest from sin—a rest from something—a rest from sorrow ; the very rest that Jesus himself enjoys. We shall ;est not only with him, but like him. Thanks be unto God for the rest we now enjoy ! Ten thousand thanks to God for the rest that we shall enjoy with Christ! Wearied one, look away from the cause of thy present suffering, and remember there is rest re maining for thee ! A little while, and thou shall enter rest. God's Presence.. A city missionary visited a poor old women, living alone in a city attic, and whose scanty pittance of a half a crown a week was scarcely sufficient for her bare subsistence. lie observed, in a broken tea-pot that stood at the window, a straw berry plant growing. He remarked, from time to time, how it continued to grow, and with what care it was watched and tended. "Your plant flourishes nicely, you will soon have strawberries upon it." "Oh, sir," replied the woman, "ii is not for the sake of the fruit I prize it; but I am too poor to•keep any living creature, and it is a great comfort to me to have that living plant ; for I know it can only live by the power of God; and as I see it live and grow from day to day, it tolls me that God is near." MURMUR at nothing; if our ills are ir reparable, it is ungrateful; if remediless, it is vain ; a Christian builds his fortitude on a better foundation than stoicism ; he is pleased with everything that happens, because he knows it could not happen un less it first pleased God, and that which pleases Rim must be the best. He is as sured that no new thing can befall him, and that he is in the hands,of a Father, who will prove him with no affliction that resignation cannot conquer, or that death cannot cure."
