BURY ME IN TEE MORNING
BY STZPREN A. DOUGLAS
bury me in the morning mother
-0 let me have the light
Of one bright day on my grave, mother,
Ere you leave me alone with the night,
Alone In the night of the grave, mother,
'Tie a thought of terrible fear,—
And you will be here, alone, mother,
And Aare will be ehining here;
So bury me in the morning, mother,
Aud let me have the light
Of one be ight day on my grave,"inother,
Ere Pm•aloue with the night,
You tell of the SRN , ton es love, mother,
I feel It Is in my heart—
" But oh I from this beautiful wort d mother,
'Tie hard for the young to part;
Forever to part, when here, mother,
The soul is fain lo stay;
For the grave is deep and dark, mother,
And heaven seems far away.
Then bury me in the morning, mother,
And let me have the light
Of one bright day on my, grave, mother,
Ere I'm alone with the night,
I AND JERRY DAVIS
On a sunny summer morning •
Early as the dew was dry,
Up the hill I went a-berrying,
Need I you—ten you why?
Farmer Davis had a daughter,
And it happened that I knew
On each sunny morning Jenny
Tip the hill went berrying too.
Lonely work Is picking berries,
So I joined her on the hill;
"Jenny, dear." said I, "your basket's
Quite too large for one to fill."
So we staid—we two to fill it,
Jenny talking—l SVIIS BCH—
Lending where the bill was steep,
Picking berries up the hill.
'Mlle is uphill work" said Jenny ;
'•So is lire," said 1, "shall we
C limb it up alone 2' or. Jenny,
Will yon come and climb with me?"
Redder than the blushing M cries
Jenny's cheeks a moment grew,
While without delay she answered,
"I will come and climb with you."
Oti.sfrltantnito.
THE SECOND PLAYER.
'I said I would tell you my story.
Well, to begin, I was born in Burn.
ton, soniething less than sixty years
ago. My father was a small trades
man, and sent me to the best school
he could afford till I was over thir
teen. I used to recite on the public
days in school, and repeat Latin and
Greek orations, of which the meaning
was not a little obscure even to me ;
what it must have been to my bear
ers I don't know. My father took
me away from the school to the shop.
He was a tailor. It worried me to
death to sit hour after hour, stitch,
stitch,stiteh; and I used to beguile the
time by reciting and reading to the
few men my father employed, and
they did my share of the work in re
turn for the amusement I afforded
them.
"At the age of fourteen I took part
in some private theatricals in the town,
and found the bustle of preparation
much more pleasant than the dull
shop work. They went off well, and
when next the players came to the
town I went to the managerand ask
ed him to take me. He laughed, for
I was fit for nothing. Of course I
was too big for a page, and too little
for a man-at•arms; too young for a
first, second, or even third lover; and
too old for any accidental boy parts.
I was disappointed, but I soon had to
leave the then detested shop. My
father was of rather a serious turn.
He heard of my going to the mans.
ger, and locked me up, then about
sixteen, and fed me on bread and wa
ter: This was rather too bad, I took
French leave, and when the bread and
water came one morning there was
no one to eat it. I was pleased to
find myself with a pair of socks and
a clean shirt wrapt up in a handker
chief, to face the world; and try to
wring the hard held honors from stern
fortune's hands. Still, I was young
then. I need scarcely tell you that
sitting here I often regretted that fine
May morning's work that took me
from home.
'I went to one town after another,
and at each sought out the manager
of the theatre, and tried hard to get
in as anything. It was no use; my
voice was not yet set or certain.—
'Why, young sir,' said one to me, 'you
are as slim as a girl, and, if you were
to make love in the tune you've been
talking to tae, the people ..would in
sist that I had made a girl play the
lover's part. I'd take you, but you
aro no use to the at all; two years
hence you may come again, and I
may talk to you.'
felt it was true, but still wanted
to be in a theatre, so I entered a trav
eling circus company as holder and
ringraker. I kept at it for eighteen
months, and then the manager joined
another in the regular acting line.—
Now was my chance. They wanted
a lover, and wanted him to ride; their
first lover could no more sit on a horse
than a sack could; the first lady saw
him and said she should die with
laughter if he came on, so I offered.
I did well, and thought I was on the
road to fortune; I felt liemble and
the rest of the great actors were on•
ly the same.men as I was, with bet
ter chances. That is more than for
ty years ago, though. I'm wiser
now.
"After this success I became first
gentleman in that company, and re.
mained so for some years. The man.
ager took the leading parts, so I had
no chance. 1 had changed my name,
first, as G-owling did not look well on
the bill, and next, because I did not
want to hurt 'my poor old father's
feelings more than I could help—l took
the name of Alphonsu.s Montague.—
It looked well on the bills, I used to
think at one time. Somebody, 1 for
get who, says, "What's in a name ?'
I know there is a good deal in a name
when it's on the playbillei, and. the
I public being judge, Alphonsus Mon
tague was better than James Gowl
ing, for it drew better houses.
'ln the company there was a young
girl who took second lady. 1 don't
say I fell in love with her; I do not
think men of our class do fall in love.
The constant exercising of the imita
tive power in delineating the passion,
weakens, I think, the power of feeling
it as other men feel it. I liked her;
she was good, industrious, and rising
in the' profession, and I married her.
There never was a better woman liv
ed, and she had her reward. I don't
suppose that there ever was a woman
more respected in any company. I
never had even a row about her but
once, and then a man had been very
insolent to her; she came and told me
just as I came off as 'Macduff' in Mac
beth. I went to the manager and
told him - that the man must leave the
place at once. The manager said it
was impossible; he waa.son of the
noble' owner of half ihe town- '
his
father was then in the house; these
things must. be endured. I said that
they should not be endured, and that,
if he would not protect the ladies in
the company, I should take the liber
ty of protecting my wife.
'And bow did it end 7'
'Why, I went to the little beast, ti
tled as he was and kicked him out at'
the stage door. I did, sir, though you
would not think it to look at me now.'
'And the manager ?'
'Came and thanked me. Said he
was much obliged to me; ho had more
annoyance from the complaints of the
girls about that fellow than any oth
er cause. He raised mine and my
wife's salary that same week.
'We went, on very well for some
time. I began to find I was not a
star. Once or twice I went up to
London and heard some of the best
men, and found that I could not equal
them. I don't know.a more painful
sensation, sir, than that attendant on
the discovery of the limit of your
powers. - Every man, not blinded by
conceit, who is over thirty, must have
more, Some less, but still it is very
painful to feel conscious that the emi
nence that the man has attained to
whom you are listening is beyond
you. Young men—Very young men
—feel that, what man has done they
can do. It does not last. Most men
at thirty know their pace well enough
to tell them that they will be in the
ruck of the wheel of life.
'Well, some few years after I was
married, the conviction came to me;
I knew. I could never be a star—a
great actor. It was not in me. I
was simply a respectable one. I could
take any part, do that part so that 1
was not laughed at; but, there I was
stopped. I could go no further. 1
never could raise the enthusiasm of
my audience. They listened, and did
not disapprove; but when I played a
leading part the boxes did not let and
the pit was not full. I could not help
it, you know. I can safely say I new
er wept on without knowing every
word of my part. l was always cor
rect, and in the second and third parts
did well: Stars liked me. They used
to come down for benefits occasional
ly,'and used to say, 'Let me have
Gowling with. me ; he's a safe man—
never too forward—no clap-trap with
him ; he's net showy, but he's safe.'
Now, you see, praise is a good thing,
but when a man has dreamed for ten
years or so that he is to be a star in
the theatrical world, it is rather hard
to wake up and find a star of no very
great magnitude telling him lie's very
good background to shoW that star's
light. Alil me—those hopes of youth
—how the large bud brings forth the
little flower.'
'Still, Mr. Gowling, it was some
thing not to have failed utterly.—
There must be backgrounds, you
know, and there must be second
parts as well as first.
"True, sir, true; and human na
ture soon adapts itself to circumstan
ces. Though months after I knew I
was no genius, the ambition to be one
left me. I Was content to do my
part and enjoy life. I had four chit..
dren—three boys and one girl.—
'That's her child—poor little thing.'
And he stroked the head of little Al
ice caressingly, while she played with
the buttons on his coat.
'The boys, of course, we tried to
make useful in the profession. Christ
mas was a family harvest; all were
busy then, all making money. You
know that the profession is not favor
able to health. The excitement—

men. You can not persuade boys of
twelve and fourteen that they ought
to wrap their throats and not run out
into the cold at night. We could not,
and we lost two of the three boys

her the wife of a respectable actor

AN OLD-TIME SCHOOL MASTER
There are many persons now resid•
ing in Philadelphia, who, remember
ing back some thirty years, can recol
lect the honest face of a sturdy peda
gogue from the Nord► of Ireland, by
the name of \\ , a stern disci•
plinarian of the old school, who be
lieved that learning as often went in
with a "thwack" as an inclination.—
Among the pupils of honest old W.
was one who has since risen to some
distinction, hut who, during his school-
boy days, was generally. regarded as
a thick-headed, lazy fellow, and as
sure to get Old W 's attention
in the "warming.way," every- semi
occasionally. One day when Johnny
had forgotten to study his lesson, as
usual, the old dominie blandly re.
quested him to take his place on the
floor, as he had a few words which he
wished to say to him. Johnny of
course stepped with fear and trem
bling, and was greatly astonished to
bear his stern teacher address him
in a very kind and gentle tone.
"Johnny, my son," said Mr
"ye're of a good family, so you are."
Johnny, who was expecting a pret
ty severe punishment, and had al
ready begun to whine and dig his
knuckles into his eyes, looked up in
the g reatest imaginable surprise.
"I say, Johnny," pursued the dom.
inie, "you're of a good family—d'ye
understand ?"
"Ali, thank you, sir!" said the lad
with some confidence.
"Yes, Johnny, I repeat, ye're of a
good family, as good a family as my
own. 1 knew your father, Johnny,
in the ould country and this, as a lad
and a man, and an honester lad and
man, Johnny, I never knew on ayther
side of the big deep."
"Thank you, sir," said Johnny, With
a pleasant smile, and a furtive glance
at his playmates.
"And I knew your mother, tao,
Johnny, and a dear, sweet little girl
she was afore she grew up and mar
ried your father, Johnny ; and after
that she was a blessed Wide, and as
kind hearted and lovely a mother
and mistress of a family, Johnny, as
ever left the blessed shores of Ire
land."
"Yes tir—oh, thank yoti, sir," re
sponded the delighted Johnny.
"Ah, John ny, your father and moth
er and myself have seen some happy
days across the great seas !" sighed
the sentimental schoolmaster; "days
•that I'm knowing now.will never r 0
turn to me again. And then your
sisters, Johnny—you've got fine sis
ters, too, that I've known since they
were toddlings, and which same now
are ornaments to society, Johnny"
"Oh, sir, I am much 'obliged to
you 7" responded the happy pupil,
scarce knowing how to express the
joy that he felt at finding himself'
such a'great favorite with his hereto
fore stern master.
l'And then, there is yourself, John.
ny, that I've known since your birth
=the son of me mild friends and com
panions of me youth."
"Oh, thank you, sir."
"Ah, yes, Johnny," went on dotni
nie, with somewhat between a sigh
and a groan, and some slight indica.
tion of tears, "it's the whole blessed
family I have known so long, and so
well, and so favorably, Johnny ; and
now that I look back with pride on
these same bygone reminiscences, I
think I wouldn't be doing justice to
your noble father, your kind mother,
and your lovely sisters, nor to myself
and the rest of mankind, if I were to
.let such a lazy, good for-nothing ras
cal go without a good thwacking.—
Honld out your hand, Johnny, hould
out your hand, you young rascal !"
"And before Johnny had time to re
cover from his astonishment, he found
himself in the process of a thwacking,
that he never forgot to his dying day.
A GERMAN FAIRY TALE
There was once a poor old woman,
and shehad no dearer wish than once,
by accident or a miracle, to obtain a
great deal of money, because she be
lieved, that if she only had money,
all sorrow and suffering would be as
good as gone. The accident and the
miracle did not happen for a long
time, however, till •,the woman • one
day heard that on :the slope of the
hill there grew among other grass a
weed, and if any one were sa fortu
nate as to pluck it, the mountain
would open, the plucker would walk
into a largo cave, at which seven men
sat round a table, who would allow
her to take. away , as much of their
'treasure . aS abo etinkt! carry. From

this moment,. the poor woman had
nothing more pressing to do than to
fetch hill-grass daily daring the sum
mer for her cow, because she, hoped
to pluck the miraculous weed among
it. And so she did; ono day thewo.
man had again collected grass, carri
ed the heavy basket on her head, and
led her little daughter by the hand,
when a largo rock opened -noiselessly
before her like a well-oiled door, and
allowed her to seein to the cave, where
seven old men with long beards were
sitting round a table, end piles of gold
and silver were heaped around them.
The woman naturally soon took ad
vantage of the opportunity, emptied
her basket upon the ground and - fined
it with gold. When this was done, as
she was going out again, one of the
old men suddenly said, "Woman, fore
get not the best thing !" but she did
not listen, and went off. But she had
scarce -reached the entrance of the
cave when the rock closed again, and
shut in the woman's little daughter,
who had remained behind playing
with the gold. Then, the woman's
grief and agony was great; she ran
lamenting to the clergyman, and told
him what had occurred. The latter
said she must wait other seven years
till she could find her daughteragain;
after that period she must go again to
the mountain at the same hour in
which she lust her child, and wait for
what might happen ; but she had
Made a grand mist:lice in quite emp
-tying her basket for the sake of her
gold, because the miracle weed was
among the grass she threw away.---
.Now she remembered the old man's
words, and learned to her sorrow
that she bad done wrong to consider
wealth as the highest blessing. How
slightly she now valued the gold she
had brought home, when she had to
pay for it by the loss of her child !
She thought farther, and found that
there were many blessings in the
world which if lost., reduce the value
of gold to nothing—yes, even make
it appear in an odious shape. He
who gives for gold and property the
loss of a dear child, beloved parents',
his fatherland, a good conscience, his
honor, &c., could not say that he has
gained, for he was really and truly
lost. This, and many other things,
the poor-rich woman had ample time
to reflect on during the seven years,
and, to her honor be it said, that, till
the expiration of that time, she would
not look at or handle the gold. At
length the day came on in which she
hoped to find her child again. The
woman hurried to the hill in the
neighborhood of the rock where her
child was shut up; and see therel—
from a distance she perceived the
treasure of her heart, herchild, sleep
ing in front . of the rock ; it was as
young and blooming as when she lost
it. She lifted it tenderly, and kissed'
it a thousand times, with tears, on
the road home, thinking, "If all the
gold were out of my room, I should
be as happy as if I bad found all the
treasure in the world !" Bnt the gold
was not gone, and so she was grate
ful for that, and enjoyed the advan ,
tages of wealth, and spent much on
the good education of her daughter,
and thus the well-trained maiden be
came a great and invaluable treasure.
