Glad songs of praise on that far peaceful shore,
Wherepain and death can enter nevermore;
The gloomy portals of the grave are passed:,
Her weary soul has found its home at last. -
She has gone home-why shod those bitter tears?
Why. (lost then mourn beside herionely bier?
Her spirit's free from anguisliand.from. pain,
And Oh ! ye would not call her back again

To feel again earth's agony and woe,
To leave that land of- rest, that glorions sphere

Aye, glad to leave this worthless earthly frame,
And seek in Heaven the God from whence it

She has gone home—her spirit's happy now,
A starry crown is on her angel-brow,
A Golden Harp she clasps within her hand,

From this cold world of anguish and of woe,
For God a promlseto the Christian's given,
Though parted here - 7 their souls unite in

We'll all go home—soon will the green sod rest
Upon the grave above our peaceful breast,

And we shall mingle with its common mold!

And ah! the water drives Us en.

The old I urnpike Is — a — pike no more ;
Wide open stands the gate ;
We have made us a road for our horse to stride,
And we ride at a flying rate.
We have filled the valleys and leveled the hills,
And tunneled tho mountain's side, ' '
And round the rough crag's dizzy verge " -
Fearlessly now we ride.
On—on—on—with a haughty front,
A puff, a shriek and a bound ;
While the tardy echoes wake too late .

And the old pike road is left alone,

We have circled the earth with aniron rail, ~

For instance it is very proper to walk Into

off till - you get to your seat. Besides you
must always come In about ten minutes
after services have commenced, so that no
body can see you. To walk very slowly
up the aisle and swing aristocratically is
another requisite which should never be
omitted. When two or three gentlemen 'oc

Almost a Ghost Story—A Real Incl-
dent. - •
BY GRACE GREENWOOD:
On a Christmas night, soinefifty, or,eixty
.years ago there was .gathered about the
wide fireplace of.a large,,New ,England;
,kitchen a happy family circle, consistingtof
a well-to-do farmer, who. was ,eke a magis
trate—known far and wide as "Squire Per
cival",-,—his comely wife, two fair daughters;
a niece, and last, but .not least; a, son, just
home from Yale for-the holidays.
- The night without was, seasonably cold,
and brilliant with moonlight and, starlight:
,The large stone farm, house stood on the
brow ,of a hill, behind a protecting line: .of
tall pine-treys-the only,green in -the wide
landscape. The steep hillside and wide val
ley beneath were heavily blanketed ,with
snow.
The early part of the evening had passed
merrily with games,jests, and song. ~But
for an hour or two the conversation had ta-
k9n.a drift into tho ronim of tho:supernntu-
,ghost. story,bad :succeeded .to
another, till, as the "witching .time of
night" approached, and the fire burned low,
the circle instinctively drew closer together
with thrills and shudders of strange spirit-.
nat dread which is yet akin to the keenest
pleasure—an awesome joy, an exquisite ter-;
ror. The solemn soughing of the winds
among the pines, heard' in the pauses of
ghostly recitals, added its, wondrous, wierd
effect to the theme. . . .
' Just as young John Percival had conclu
ded a wild German legend, which he declar
ed "-splendid stuff for dreams," the out-side
door was heard to open•suddenly. All look=
ed round, more or less fearfully, to see
standing on the threshold the slight form of
a fair young woman, clad:all in white, and
looking strangely-pure, and cold, and In
minons, like incarnated moonlight.
" With the glide of a spirit" sbe.came for
ward. Her- feet were quite bare, and her
arms were drooping wearily. Masses of
fair hair fell over her,and herfeyes were:dark
and fixed With a melanchollystare. :Her lips
were slightly parted and almost colorless.
She came Into the circle about the hearth;
and there paused, standing utterly motion
less—a beautiful, appalling figure.
For a ummont, all the startled group re
mained as silent as that strange 'visitor—
then ono young girl caught her breath in a
hvstorical scream, which was was instantly
answered by a cry from the pale lips of the
"woman in white," into whose blank-eyes
rushed a wild keen light. She gazed upon
her in terror and bewilderent, then glanced
down upon herself and sunk upon the floor,
covering her face with her hands, and giv
ing way tote childish paroxysm of weeping.
The farmer's wife, a woman of rare sense
and presence of mind, at once divined the
truth.
"Site is a sleep-walker !"- she said.—•" She
must be' half. dead with the cold I - Girls,
bring some wrappings !". " - 1•71
Immediately all Teas-bustle: -The 'farmer
and his son - discreetly vanished-Jrom: the
'scene, and the kind mother daughters, and

She said she was Lucy Ellet, the niece of
the village physicician—that she had lately
been taken from , school,:on account of ner-'
vonsness, and sent to him- for medical treat=
went, but that honiesickness and loneliness
had made her worse. She. had.occasionally
walked in her sleep.before, but only about
the house and grounds at . home, and on
summer moonlight nights. " I think the
moon bewitches me," • she said' smiling
through her tears. .That - night she said be
foregoing to bed; looked ,across the little
valley to the • pleasant house on .the hill,
wat• -- hed the rheefnl Christmas lightsgleam:.
ing through the pine trees; and longed to he
one, of the happy party there, though she
was a strager to all.. -
She had cried herself to sleep, she said;
and that was all she knew of her mysterious
midnight tramp over snow and stones and
ice; Not a .memory, not a thought could
she recall till the moment when she found
herself standing ou that hearth,in her nicht
dress, with so many-.wandering eyes fiseu
upon her.. -
-
"o dear I what' did. you think of me?
What can you think of me now ?" she
moaned.
." Never mind.w hat we think of you, my
poor child," said'good, motherly Mrs.Per
cival,' we love you already, so just drink
this nice ginger -tea, and go to sleep." •
.The "poor child" got a little natural sleep,
and inihe morning appearod somewhat less
•ghostly than the .apparition of Christmas
night.... Bu- she was still very pale, with a
painfubsby, grieved look. She was suffer
ing 'less than was expected from the, expo
sure, but, more from the nervous shock of
the ,night;before, and by the advice of her
uncle, who had been summoned, consented
to remain with her new friends for a few
Young John Percival was hospitably kind
to the invalid guest, not seeming to perceive
that she shrank from its attentions in a Ben_
sitive, disquieted way. Yet when his eye
was not on her, she was observed to study
his face with a peculiar inquiring expres
sion. She 'could not remember having seen
that face ut the fearful moment of her awak
ening, and she hoped he had not been a wit
ness of that-walking trance, which• she re
garded with absolute horror.
Finally; on , the last day of her visit find
ing herself alone with him for a moment,
under desperate impulse, she asked : " Did
you too see melhat night, Mr. Percival:
He was — iiiiiehidlslll.le — fremble In the

.Ihlways had u high regard for the Sign
ers of the Declaration of Independence, but
now they do not really seem to amount 'to
much alongside the signers of Niel - tura Falls.
TO fell the plain truth,the multitude of signs
annoy me. It was because I noticed at last
they always happened to prohibit exactly
the very thing I was - just wanting to do.
I desired to rolton the grass: the sign pro
hibited,it. I wished to climb a tree; the
sign prohibited it. ,I- longed • to smoke; a .
sign forbade it. And I was going to throw
a stone over to astonish and pulveiise such
parties as might be Pie-nicing below when a
sign I have just mentioned fOrbade that.
Even that poor satisfaction was denied me, .
(and I a friendless orphan.) There Was no
recourse now, but to seek consolation in the
flowing bowl. I drew, my flask
_from my
- pocket, but itWas all in vain. A sign' con
fronted me which'Sald : ' - .
."No drinking,..allowed on these preini

Ou that spot I might have perished of
thirst, but for the saving words of an bon
ored•maxim that Bitted through' my mem
ory at the critical moment. " All signs fiiil
in a dry time." Common law takes prece
dence of the statutes. I was saved.
TILE NOBLE BED MEN
The noble red man has always been a der:
ling of mine. I love to read about him in
tales and legends and romances. T. love to
read of his inspired sagacity, and his love of
the wild free life of mountain and forest ;
and his grand truthtulness, his hatred of
treachery, and his general nobility of char
acter; and his stately metaphorical manner
of speech ; and his chivalrous love for the
dusky maiden ; and picturesque pomp of
dress and accoutrement. When I found the
shops at Niagara Falls fujipEdainty Indian
bead work, and,, ! st.ttoning moccasins
and equally stunning toy figures , rep&
resenting human beings who carried
their weapons In holes bored through
their arms and bodies, and had feet. shaped
like a pie, I was titled with emotion.,
knew that now at last, I was going to come
face to face with the Noble Red Man. A'
lady clerk in a shop told:me, indeed, thanalt
grand army of curiosities were made
by the Indians, and that they were friendly
and it would, notbedangerous 'to speak to
,them. , And sure enough, as I approached
the -bridge leading over.to Luna Island, I
came upon a, noble old. Son. of the Forest
sitting under a tree, _diligently, at work on
a bead reticule. lECe;wore a slouch hat and
brogans, and had a short black pipoin his
mouth. Thus does the baleful contact with
our effeminate civilization dilute the pic
turesque pomp which is so natural to the
Indian when : far removed from us, in. his
native haunts. :.I :lie relic as ibl-'

A CuEzniur. Rrthotos - .=:-Leemen 'be
taught.that thete is as ranch religion in the
good robust, rejoicing, enthusiastic sing
ing of God's praise, as in the, sedate and
'doleful way thafis usually styled thO Most
devotional ; let theni kaciw that the earnest
prayer need not be a drawling jeremiad; let
them feel that good Gospel ,preaching may
be in asprightly delivery of pleasant truths,
more than in a whinnlng recitations of in
anities rlet them believe that Christianity
is a live thing, that it Is in sympathy with
the active, rejoicing spirit of our humanity,
and it will bo better commenced to their ac
ceptance. .SerlousUess aught always to
characterize the Christian. .Butseriousness
does not consist in sullenness, Diereses:toss,
or even .in the sobriety that drives , away
smiles and the taste for rational pleasures.
He 'almost serious who best brings an ear
nest, healthy, rejoicing nature to. the per
formance of his duty. Men are most hean
tifully serious when truthful smiles are
playing on their lips, and when their whole
countenances are lightetnip' With a benig
nant joy.,
Nor YET. Not' Yet" says a little boy
as he -was busy with his trap and ball.
" When I grow older, I will think about my
soul." '
The little boy, grew to be a young man'.
" Not yet," said the young man. 1" I am
now about to enter into trade. When I see
my business prosper,then I shall have more
time than now."
Business did prosper.
."Not' yet," said the man •of business.
" My children must have my care., When
they are settled in life, I shall be better able
to attend to religion."
Ile lived to be a gray -headed old man.
" Not yet,",still he cried. "I shall soon
retire from trade, and then I shall. Lave
hotbing else to 'do but read and pray."
And so be died' He put off to another time
what should have done when a ehiid. Be liv
fed without God and died without hope.
BE manly, if you claim to be a man ; and
if you are a wornan;be womanly, and re
member that love begets love. It is strength
power, bravery, self-reliance, devotion,
trust, hope, and kindness, that we admire
most in man ; in woman, the real womanly
qualities, inch ns modesty, virtue, frank
ness, affection, fruitfulness.
As birds sing oftener on lowly roots than
palace domes, and roses love best to climb
o'er lowly'window sills and cottage caves,
so to the poor God's blessing come freighted
with dearest wealth—and to the humble
heart his love Is sweetest.
SAID one whose life commended his phil
osophy, " Ifl could see allthe way instead
of only a stop, I should wish things to be ex
actly as God orders_ them . " So I will trust
Him who does see all the %cap.'? A very
sensible idea.
