'There's aunt Nancy just co: ing;
I into the gate,'said her daughter Betsey,
I as, looking up from the apples she was
! paring, she chanced to glance oat of
' : the window.
Indignant as she was, it. was not in
good-natured Mrs. Lane's heart to re
fuse a kindly greeting to her -i.-ter in
law, who was evidently too full of her
! own concerns to have noticed any lack
of cordiality, had there been any.
'How dy'e do, sister lame. I L-vv
• dy'e do, Betsey/ she said, seating her
r self in the tirst chair she eaihe to, as*
j if quite exhausted, though her keen
black eyes looked us bright and sharp
as ever. 'Always cooking, Ido declare.
' Ah ! how it makes my heart ache to
see yoa spending so much precious
- time in caring for this poor perishing
body.'
'Folks can't live without eating,' re
sponded Mrs. Lane, a little tartly, as
, this remark called to mind what she
considered to be her sister-in-law's re
missness in the care of her family.—

'You always' did make nice dough

composedly helping herself to one.
• 1 best are as light as a honey-comb,'
she added, as she broke it open and
proceeded to dispose of it with evident
satisfaction. 'X don't know when 1

Spare, who lectured here last winter,
says that thej* are very unhealthy, en
tirely destroying what ho called the
disgustive apparatus.'
•Yes, J know/ returned Mrs. Lane
drily. 'Husband invited him home to

that le had any particular object ions

'Certainly; that is what wo cxp.v-t

there'il bo ome among them that

meeting is just a week trorn from to-day
at Squire Mayo's.
There was a merry twinkle in Mrs.
Lane's eyes that night, as site superin
tended preparations for supper, which
over and anon deepened into a siaii";
but though the children were anxious
to know what their mother was smil
ing about. she kept her own counsel.
l ite next Wednc-day afternoon a
score or more ladies were seated in
Squire Mayo s parlor, with hu.-y ling*- r
an-i still mora bn -y vt illi tin ir longUt s.
There i.- Mrs. Lane coming up the
walk,' exclaimed Mrs. Mayo, who was
seated by the window. '.I est see what
a wretched looking buy she is loading
by the hand 1 It can't be one of her
chiidivn, for they are all models of

Mrs. Shaw was too .busy distribut
ing work to even glance out the win

•i forgot to t-ell you, ladies,'she said,
'that my si-Ler-in-law join.- ouf Hi ciotv
this afternoon. ihe boy with her is
no doubt the one she spoke to me about
the other day as a fit subject for our
charity. 1 take considerable credit to
myself,' she added, quite complacently,
'for persuading her to thi- step. Sister
Lane is such a home bodv—so wranped
tin in herself ami family."
'Mrs. Luno is a kind-hearted wo
man.' rep. ! an old lady, who was
knitting corner uJ." the room,
* 'and does a.. t deal of good m a quiet
way.'
'Sister Lane means well—there is no
doubt of that, responded Mrs. Shaw,
with a magnanimous air. 'But, accor
ding to my way ol thinking, charity
without system and organization is
worse than thrown away.'
By this time Mrs. Lane was in the
room.
'Good afternoon, ladies/ she said,
looking around with a pleasant sinilo.
'Y'ou see, sister Shaw, that X kept
my word, and did not come alone,' she
added, as that individual fixe 1 her eves
m undisguised astonishment upon the
j boy. whose reluctant hand she held.
X found this poor lad/ she continued,
j *' n an alleyway, playing marbles with
. a number ot profane and vicious box s,
I and who were uttering words in his
hearing that I shudder to think of.
Ihe black eye ho got in a fight with
| one of them, in which it seems lie had
i the worst of it. JI ois very dirty and
ragged, as you see; but I offer no apol
ogy for bringing him. to yoa in this
condition, as 1 know your society was
formed for the benefit of such, and
trust that under yonr kindly care lie
wid soon present quite another ap
pearance.'
Twice did Mrs. Slauv essay to inter
rupt the speaker, but anger and shame
choked her utterance. When she had
concluded she sprang to her feet.
'Malitllhi Lane,' she ejaculated, 'do
you moan to protend that you do not
know that that is my boy?'
'N our buy!' exclaimed Mrs. Lane,
starting with we!! dissembled amaze
ment. '1- it possible? Now. thai X
look at him closer, it does look like
J >: nny. But who would have thought
it?'
•1 leave it toy ;u,'she added, address
ing the other ladies, ' i the mistake
•was rot a natural one, or if ever child,
apparently, stood more in need of your
friendly otiieos.'
This assertion could not be denied
by any present, certainly not by Mrs.
.S aw, who was completely silenced,
though she looked unutterable things.
Not long after, she could have been
seen with poor, luckless Johnny in
tow, taking a round about course in
the direction lor home, for unlike her
- -tor in law, when she escorted him
thither, she went by the darkest and
least frequented streets.
1 ins suarp, but much needed lesson,
La i a most, happy result,; as was evi
dent by not (ny Johnny's improved
appearance, but by the increased com
loft of the whole family. Mrs. Shaw
learned, what it is to he feared that too
many f >rg< t, that no ol V-j, however
praiseworthy, can excuse the xvi.e and
mother in the neglect of home duties.

upon her time and affection.
A Remarkable Region.
An expedition against the Doxvdcr
Uiver 'Oregon') Indians passed thro'
a very remarkable tract of country
which is described by Mr. L. Bennett,
engineer. Rising from the plain, some
times to Hie altitude of five hundred
feet, were masses of hard clay in the
form ot pyramids or ruined temples,
crowned with spires and minarets,and
worn by the winds into a variety of
fantastic shapes. Often these huge
mas-os of clayey rock were standing
iu the mi (Ft of the plain isolated ami
alone. At other times they stretched
away in long ranges of bare hills.
Veins of trap rock traverse these
! hills, while on the plain around them
are scattered iron, quartz, scoring and
various crystalizcd and igneous rocks
indicating the action of heat. On their
i summits and around their base aro
1 found fragments, and sometimes al
- most perfect fossils ol marine and other
i animals, the most common of which
; were turtles. NI any of those seen by
- Mr. Bennett were Ibrec feet across, and
- one that measured seven feet across
; the shell.
i : Other parlies reported seeing one
i that i mas ired sixteen loet across. —
1 hose have generally fallen down front
cliffs, and are more or le-s mutilated,
u but enough remains to show the out
•- lines, and det< rmine the --ize of these
t monsters of a former age. Mastodon
; bones and enormous teeth are com
r moil Among the petrifactions of a
f more recent period was a wolf, nearly
entire.
On the ridges separating the Kik,
Boar, Minniwuk. Si, and Boar Butte
creeks were lound large masses of fi.s
, si I ti-ii and other marine animals, some
r of a huge size. Often tho hills seemed
s entirely composed of these remains.—
t Exposure to the air and storms have
r broken them into fragments, vol tho
) outlines of turtles, shell fish, and or
. thosera e add be distinctly traced. The
r region presents indications both of
I volcanic action and of a deluge.
A Prayer for Landlords.
The f Bowing prayer, says the Chris
tian Times, was formerly used in tho
X'rirner, or Book ot Private Devotions,
in the itelbrm Church, until the acces
-3 sion of Queen Mary.of England. We
re-produce it now, in the hope that it
. may bo adopted once more in our
.r churches of all denominations:
a '• The earth is thine, O Ijord, and all
that is continued therein; notwith
(3 ing Thou hast given possession thereot
to the children of men to pass over tho
I, time of their short pilgrimage in this
' vale of tears. We heartily pray Thee
t to send tho Holy Spirit into the hearts
JKJSJSfc
of those that possess the grounds, pas
tures, and dwelling places on the earth,
that they, remembering themselves to
be Thy tenants, may not rack and
stretch out tho rents of their houses
and lands, nor yet take unreasonable
fines and incomes, after tho manner ot
covetous worldlings, but so lot them
out to others that the inhabitants
thereof may be able both to pay the 1
rents and also honestly live to nourish
their family, and to relieve the poor
(five them grace to consider that they
are but strangers and pilgrims in this
world, having here no dwelling place,
but seeing one to come; that they, re- 1
mcmbering the short continuance of;
life, may be content with that which ;
is sufficient, and not join house to house,
nor couple land to land, to the impov
crishmcnt of others, but so behave
themselves in letting out their tene
ments, land and pastures, that after i
this 1-ifo they may he received into
everlasting dwelling places, through |
Jesus Christ our Lord.''
THE LITTLE CUB OF TEARS.— We find j
the following North German legend j
in "Thorpe's Yuletide Stories," one of'
Holm's antiquated stories. It is too '
beautiful to remain in the sole keeping !
of antiquaries: "There was a mother
xvho loved her first child with her
whole heart, and thought she could
not. live without it; but tho Almighty
sent a great sickness among children,
which seized this little one. who lav on
its sick bed ex'en to death. Three days
and three nights the mother watched
and wept, and prayed by the side of
her darling child, but it died. The
mother, now alone in the wide world,
gave way to the most violent an ! un
speakable grief; she ate nothing and
drank nothing, and wept, wept, wept,
three long days and three long nights
Fiiis the mother did without ceasing,
calling constantly on her child. The
third night, as she thus sat, overcome
with suliering, in the place where her
child had died, her eyes bathed in tears,
j and faint from grief, the door soltly
opened, and the mother started, for
before her stood her departed child.
It had become a heavenly angel, and
smiled sweetly as innocence, and was j
beautiful like the blessed. 11 had in j
its hand a small cup that was almost !
running over, so full it was. And I lie |
child .-poffe: "Oh! dearest mother,
weep no more for me; the angel of
mourning has collected in this little
cup the tears which you have shed lor
.me. If l'or me yon shed but one tear
more, it will overflow, and I shall have
no more rest in the grave and no jo}'
in heaven. Therefore, 0 dearest mo- j
ther! weep no more for your child ; for |
it is well and happy, and angels are its i
companions." It then vanished. The!
mother shed no more tears, that she j
might not disturb her child's joy in
i heaven."
_
My Courtship.
When I was sixteen, I fell in love.— ;
There was nothing remarkable in that, '
for most young men of that ago do the
same tiling. But what 1 atu going to
tell you is, how my courtship tormina
i ted.
it was at a party I sawSallie B ,
who was one of the sweetest girls in
Ticktoxvn ; and, I tell you. she looked
sweet in her white muslin ball-dress, ;
! with her hair falling loosely over her
j j shoulders.
I got an introduction, danced with
her once, twice, thrice, and I was just
the happiest man in ail Ticktoxvn.
Well, at last tho party broke up ;
hut 1 had an invitation to call on Miss
B . That was all I wanted, and I
didn't sleep much before Sunday even
ing—for that was the time I'd fixed to
L ; call.
1 called; saw Mies Sallio to church
—saw her home: and when I left !
! had a pressing invitation to call again,
and I <ud not forget it, I assure you.
At the end of a month 1 was com
j plctc'.y gone. At last I resolved to
pop the question," and fixed on my
next visit for the time; studied "Court
j ship Made Easy" thoroughly, and con- !
eluded I was ready for the task.
The time arrived. Here 1 was, sit
ting by the side of my beloved, with
my arm around her xvaist! I took her
! hand in mine, and screxved upmycour
age to say, " Dear Sallie, do you love ;
1 mo ?"
She made no answer; but her eyes
were east down, and I hoped—yes, I
was certain —she loved me. I put both
my arms around her neck, and pressed
one, txvo, three kisses on her rosy lips.
) She did not resist, but raised her head
> and said :
I - " Why, you're as bad as Sa))'. Sini
r 7H071S !"
I fifeiT*One rarely repent# of having kept:
j silence; but often of having spoken.
t Modesty depends upon good nian
. ners; happiness ou security; good society
!" on good education; wisdom on experience,
4 and for the safety or protection of a tried
3 man is often more valuable than a re-!
3 no-vned warrior.

Variety in Employment.
"Ono tiling at a time" is a thread
bare maxim; within proper limits it is
always applicable; but he who sits
down in a pin manufactory and makes
pin heads for forty years isn't likely to
develop much force and depth of char
acter.
r.lihu Burntt. the learned black
smith, can hammer away at his anvil
eight hours per day, (ho believes in
the eight hour system,) and then lay
down his sledge and take up and read
the books and manuscripts of fifty or
sixty different languages. Dr. Lyman
Beecher found relief from his ministe
rial duties in some sand from
one side of his cellar to the other and
in playing with his little grandchildren.
: And what a healthy, cheerful old man
he was—nothing morbid about him.
The venerable Efiphalot Aott. lately
deceased, at the age of eighty-six years,
presented another striking illustration
id the healthiness of feeling, and vigor
of thought that may he preserved bv
variety in employment. For a period
of fifty-six years he was at the head of
I nion college, bearing a load of re
sponsibility, anxiety and labor that
would have broken down an ordinary
man. An intimate friend of his, Prof
Tavlor Lewis, says that in the morn
ing lie might be occupied with stove
patents, or improvements in steam
machinery, or the filling up of* water
'.ots, or troubles over financial opera
tions connected with them, and after
his daily duties in teaching, onerous
as they were, he might he seen in the
evening praying by the bedside of the
dying, or healing by his spiritual con
solations the wounds of afflicted souls.
l)r. Arnold, the great liugby school
master, found time amidst his arduous
duties as a teacher, to prepare his cel
ebrated history of Home. And it has
been facetiously remarked of Daniel
\\ ebsier that it was difficult to tell
which afforded him the most satisfac
tion, his great orations or his line thor
ough bred cattle.
From such as well as
: from the constitution of man, and the
! philosophy of mind, we have long sinco
come to the-conclusion that every far
: mer, mechanic, and other working
man ought to havo at least an hour
! every day during which he Pmld drop
his toil, and cultivate a quite different
portion of his nature, the mind and
soul, by reading, study and reflection;
j while he whose mind, nerves and sym
; pathies have been at work in "the
I school room, or in any sedentary occu
pation, should throw aside his cares
i and engage in some sort of out-door
physical employment, bo it sawing
! wood, cultivating fruit, or some simi
j lar exercise. H.
A PLUCKY SCHOOL-MA'AM. —Miss Em
ily Batchelder, teacher of a school in
Orange, \ t., yielding to a disagreeablo
necessity, and being assisted by a lov
al boy, punished a large and unruly
! scholar, who defied her authority and
! attempted to create a rebellion." The
punishm* nt was so severe that the cul
prit begged for mercy 11 is father pros
ecuted the teacher; but when the caso
came to trial, it was found impossible
