TO MY SISTER LIZZIE
I=l
Thy brother soon must go, Lizzie,
To brave life's stormy main,
And we may never meet, Lizzie ;
In childhood's haunts again;
And wilt thou weep, Lizzie,
When from thee I shall part,
And will my image, Lizzie,
Still dwell within thy heart?
Yes, very soon I'll go, Lizzie,
From one I lov'd so well,
Yet, ever in my heart, Lizzie,
Thy blithsome form must dwell
And when my life is done, Lizzie
Then close these aching eyes,
For we shall meet again, Lizzie,
Far, far beyond the skies.
A Poet's thoughts are mine, Lizzie,
He is the child of dreams,
His bark is oft dismantled, Lizzie,
On life's deserted streams;
His brow is often darkened, Lizzie,
His heart is bowed in woe,
And like a storm at eve, Lizzie,
Come thoughts of long ago.
And others he may love, Lizzie.
And find that all is vain,
Then wilt thou give him Lack, Lizzie,
Thy friendshi i peince again;
And wilt thou ..Mahe his brow, Lizzie,
And ease his heart of care,
And at the throne of grace, Lizzie,
Wilt thou think of him in prayer!
He may often be deceived, Lizzie,
And turn to thee in pain,
In that hour of grief, Lizzie,
Shall he seek for thee in vain ;
He bus wandered very far. Lizzie,
And farther yet mud roam—
Yet often pray at even, Lizzie,
That he may journey home.
He fain would guard thee, Lizzie
And calm tby aching breast,
And lead thee gently, Lizzie,
To the regions of the blest ;
Then breathe a prayer, Lizzie.
For thee his hopes are given ;
And send a blessing, Lizzie,
To the golden gates of Heaven.

KATE WOOED AND WON.

What romps of girls Aunt Katie has ;
I never saw 'the like, in my life, of her
Kate; she had on the schoolmaster's
skates to-day, at school, and while he was
hunting for them, most all noontime, she
was gliding like a swan all over Moss
Pond, mixed in among the boys, while her
laugh was as loud as theirs, only more
ringing and joyous, and fuller of music,'
said Uncle Nat Ilainumud to his wife and
daughters when he came home from the
mill in the afternoon of a cold winter day.
4 Well, now !' said Aunt Mercy, and she
laughed until her whole body shook and
laughed too. Didn't Mr. Miles get his
skates at all at nooning
6 I don't know,' said Ler husband, for
school wasn't taken up yet, when I came
on home ; but I guess not, for I called at
the store, and while I was there young
Harper came in, and he said when he came
away Kate was still on the pond, and the
teacher was wateltin; her anu laughing,
from behind the big maple tree, and that
he didn't seem a bit angry, for he over
heard him say, just as he came up slyly
behind him. ' God bless you, my sweet,
wild Kate,' and that he got very red in the
face when he saw that he had been over
heard.'
It may turn out with Mr. Miles and
Kate as it did with Kate's mother and her
teacher, when she was young, for she was
as wild a romp as Kate is ; Kato comes
honestly by her hoyden manners.'
'How was that ?' said Uncle Nat, as he
took off his big taped, old-fashioned, drab
overcoat, and hung it on its pin in the
closet, then rubbing his hands, sat down
to an afternoon lunch—a cup of coffee and
hot buckwheat cakes and honey.
Aunt Mercy swept the wet footprints
from the hearth, and took up her knitting,
that lay in the cushioned rocking chair by
the window.
Why, you see, the winter before Katie
was married father lived up on Stony
Creek, on a rented farm. in a real back
woods settlement, and all of us grown girls
went to district school that winter. Oh,
we did have good times, I tell you! The
scholars were all so united, and the winter
was a mild, pleasant one, and the play
ground was grassy, and clean and spacious.
The teacher was an excellent young man
from the East, and as the healthful part of
our education, he recommended exercise on
the pl ty-ground, and rambles on the sur
rounding hills. This just suited sister
Kate, the pretty lack-eyed romp.
Many a time the first fortnight of
school, while she was whirling on one foot,
or playing blackumn ' with the boys, I
S,aw the teacher's pale face peeping out of
a window, with his brow resting on his
hand. No one thought of the like but
myself, and from the very first I judged
from his conduct towards Kate that he
loved her better than any other girl in
school. Iler copies were always set ' the
prettiest, and were generally a sweet line
or two of poetry ; and if she carried her
slate to him for assistance, his face lighted
up with a real love smile that must have
beamed warmly upon her. If any of the
rest of us did the same he always said
kindly, please wait till this class has re
cited,' or' in a moment.'
When boarding round,' and his week
was at our house, in the evenings, alter our
lessons were all looked over, we would
spread a mattress on the broad greystone
hearth for all to sit on, to crack nuts ; we
always reserved the corner for the master,
as the ponderous jamb stone would keep
the heat and the glare of the blaze off his
forehead. And there we all clustered
down together, cracking nuts and cracking
jokes, seasoned with merry peals of laugh
ter. Ah, those were good old days of
long, long ago !
One cold, frosty Christmas night, after
we had eaten apples, and cakes, and nuts,
Kate proposed that we should all go out
and take a ride down thet hil on the little
hand sleds. To please her we consented.
There were six sleds in all, belonging to
big and little children, and there were six
of us—the master, our brother Ben, the
two girls and myself and Dick, the bound
boy.
I'm afraid Lcan't guide the sled right,'
said the teacher to Kate, as we all walked
up the hill, through the orchard, up to the
edge of Oak Grove, pulling our sleds
after us.
Weil, I'll tell you,' said Kate, if it
won't start when you are ready to go, you
must hitch forward, with a foot sticking
out on each side of the shaft, which you
are to turn back and hold in your hands.
If it turns . to the right too much, plow
your left heel into the snow a little, till
you get it turned straight, not too much,
or it will whirl right around. If you want
to stop still, you must plow both your heels
into the ground hard.'
What a glare of light this is ! Oh,
delicious! I want nothing rarer than this
world said Kate, in all the exuberant
joy that was brimming over the fun-loving
heart.
4 We got to the top of the hill, and
placed our sleds in a row, Kate behind, so
as to have the longest
Make ready,' said Dick, take aim,'
said the master, in a voice by no means as
joyous as the occasion demanded.
Fire!' shouted Kate, in a voice ring
ing among the old oaks, like the notes of
a bugle.
4 Away we flew, like a line of winged
swallows, the fine frosted particles of fly
ing snow cutting into our faces, and pow
dering our clothes.
Faster, sir !' shouted Kate, distinctly,
above the noise of the gliding runners.
'l'll pass by your leave 1' and she flew
circling round the teacher, and came like
the chain Qf lightning down the hill, and
past the wood pile, steadily through the
open gate, when her sled jumped with a
leap across the gutter in the street, and
away she went down the road, as though
riding a wild steed who had never felt the
curb or rein. Under the elm tree, she
stopped and looked around just in time to
see he waster's unmanageable sled plunge
over the top of the milk-house, which
stood close in under the ledge that skirted
the hill.
We had all stopped our slede at the
gate, except Jennie, who had run through
the closed side gate, and bore it off with
her, into the gutter, and Ben, who had
tun up the woodpile, and fell back with
his sled on top of hint, and half a cord of
ranked stove wood rattling about his cars.'
We all ran, laughing, to the milk
house, white the tnost uproarious merri
ment iront under the.olin greeted Lt.:.
'Poor teacher ! fall had been no
cause of fun for bitn, for he lay insensible,
with the blood flowing from a gash iu his
handsome white forehead.
Dick ran to Kate, with his timer on
his mouth, a token of silence ; but she
could understand no dumb signs, for she
lay in the snow yet, in convulsions of
laughter.
Father helped carry him into the house,
and we bathed his face with camphor, un
til life returned. It was several days
before he could continue his school.
, Are you sorry for me, Katie?' he said
plaintively, as he. leaned back on the pil
lows in the rocking chair, when he detect
ed traces of tears in Kate's black eyes.
' Yes,' said she, 'for I am to blame,' and
the pent up tears burst forth anew.
, No you are not, Kate,' said he kindly :
but let us leave such sport for children,
and we will spend our evenings studying
Astronomy. I will teach you these bright
starry eves. Oh, Kate,' and softer grew
his wanly voice—' you will ripen into a
glorious woman if you lay aside your over
sportiveness, and merriest moods, and seek
to beautify your mind, and make it worthy
of the beautiful casket that enshrines it
Will you Kate ±' and he took her hand in
his ;so pale and thin. She rose in tears
and left the room.
What a good influence the master ex
erts in our family! have you observed it,
father ?' said my mother one evening.
Yes, bless him !' was the answer.'
I've been thinking, because of his good
influence, and because he has poor health,
and boarding round gives him a fresh
cold every few days, we'd better have him
board here the rest of the term, said my
mother, iu all the mirth and goodness of
her motherly, womanly nature.
Very well, Mercy, and my father went
on with his whittling.
" With many thanks to my poor mother,
the master accepted the kind offer, and
then the front bed room was his, and cal
led the master's room.
We all observed, with joy and corp. se,
that our Kate was surely growing more
womanly, Inure firm in her good resolves,
and though very cheerful still, was far lm.s
rude and wild. We made Letter progress
in our studies now that the teacher was
with us, and that winter, in our after years,
was one to be pleasantly remembered.
One day at school, in the morning the
teacher stood lookit out from a back
window, watching the little boys and girls . Little Lucie Gorham, said Ella Hess,

ly down the bill, knocking everything in
its way, making sparks fly from splinty
rocks, splitting little sand stones, pitching
sticks hither and blither, until its force was
exhausted and it rolled down slower and
slower until it stopped.
A straightforward, upright life is to be
yours, Mary ; neither temptation, nor mal
ice nor slander will harm you, for you will
walk straight ahead in the line of duty,
said the teacher, looking towards Lucie,
with a mock air of seriousness.
And so we all rolled each a stone down
the hill until it came the turn of the mas
ter or Kate, Now it's your turn, Kate,'
;aid he ; wait till the last and have
the best fortune of any.' Kate stood near
the teacher, as she let her's fall from her
hands, and at the same moment, either pur
posely or accidentaly, his dropped too.
4 Would you believe it l They rolled
along side by side, steady keeping even
pace with each other—no knocks, but per
fect unity—if large stones impeded their
way, they skipped over them, and trotted,
and capered, and gamboled along together
as nicely as Deacon E'lliot's span of dapple
Then as they came to where the hill
stretched oft into a gentle swell their pace
slackened, and they moved along side by
side until they rustled in among the dry
fla7s and sickle grass, on the bank of Crys
tal Creek, and then with a low splash-, not
h a lf so loud as a grassy sod falling upon a
coffin they dropped over the bank, not
three seconds apart.
You two would work together well,' said
Lucie ; but there was no word dropped
from the master's trembling lip in reply,
and Kate, her head was turned aside ex
amining sonic fossils that Lina Rice had
found on the brow of the hill.
To hide the teacher's visible einharra•i , -
meut, I laughed heartily, and said that it
was a real funny play of Lucie's, after all.
We all ran down the hill to school, and
I ob.-,erved that Kate tried to keep away
from the master, by linking her arms iu
with a girl on either side of her. I guess
she began to see twitters in a true light.
That evening, there was a t iffy party at
Nora Grove's house, to which the whole
neighborhood was invited, besides the
teacher and all his scholars. It was sugar
ing off times in the old sugar camp, and
Squire Grove had told Nora to invite
everybody, and we might spend the even
ing in the big old kitchen, and that we
might have three pa is of syrup to make
into taffy, sugar wax and sugar. The
teacher said, when he dismissed in the
evening_ we must not wear silk aprons to
the party, or head dresses, awl the boys
oust not wear their Sunday vests or Dice
neck ties, for it would mar the pleasure of
tIM party if any of us had on clothes that
would be easily spoiled.
We three girls wore pink gingham dres
ses and white aprons, and mother made the
master wear one of father's homespun
linen coats, to save his nice black cloth
one, for she said taffy was as bad as tar on
one's clothes.
I thought Kate never did look sweeter
than she did that night. The waist of her
small checked pinked gingham dress was
gathered full behirrcl and before on to a
belt, her while jaconet apron was full and
short, her brown wavy hair was done up
plain,white glossy fragrant geraneum leaves
were fastened in her hair behind, and
around so as to almost lie on the left
temple. her cheek wore an unusual glow
and her eyes deeper tenderness, while a
smile, born of joy that was holy in its pure
new happiness, radicated about her sweet
lips 'Tat day's nooning had told her a
revelation.
Mrs. Grove put on her sun bonnet and
went to the sugar camp with her husband,
saving, we would enjoy the evening sports
better if there were no old folks about.
Carrie Hill all , / our Dick superintended
the hnilinp-, while the rest of us amused
ourselves looking over Mr. Grove's books
and Nura's hair book, and scrap book, and
album and magazines, and geological speci
mens. As soon as the specimens were
boiled enough Dick called us, and we had
fine sport making candy and wax, and su
gar, in that great old kitchen, With its wide
iiro place and massive jainbs.
When we were quite done, and had fixed
our candy away to cool on the shelves in
the pantry, Dick proposed a game of
4 blind wan's buff.' And the chairs were
all set on the porch, and we took off our
shoes so as to slip around slyly. Dick
made a capital blind man, for his arms
were so long and muscular ; he could take
great swathes, like a mower in a meadow,
and gather us in laughing, and dodging,
and holding our hands over our mouths,
and slipping about on tiptoes. Oh, it was
rare goo t sport, but better yet when Kate
was blindfolded and caught the teacher
by the long lined tail of his borrowed coat,
and hung dangling to it until she had
twisted it up like a stout cable, and though
very weariness had let him go. Oh, what
merry shouts went up then in that old
kitchen.
and some one crouch down in the old corner
close, near me. An instant more and a
light tread came in and ran into the same
old closet. It was sister Kate, I knew by
the pink dress and neat apron.
Is this yon, Katie, darlin ?' I heard
whispered in the same schoolmaster's
voice. Oh are you here, master ?' was
the frightened reply, and Kate darted out,
but only a step, for his hand held her arm,
as he bowed his face down close to her's,
and his tones were low and musical as a
soft ripple of a rill in a meadow.
Dear Katie, can we not walk through
life ? more than mother or sister do I love
you ;' and his trembling voice was hushed
in tears.
A womanly curiosity made me peep oat
and lean forward just in time to Bee our
blushing Kate burst in tears too, and lay
her hand in his. They stood by the -- old
paper window, and through the broken
roof streamed down the moonlight, with a
silvery sheen enwrapping them. They stood
side by side and wept, and though my own
eyes were full of tears, I wondered why
they should weep.
4 Do you love me, Kate V said his low,
sad voice, and he drew the weeping girl to
his side and looked into her face.
Kate ! frank, noble, honest Kate—how
I loved her when I saw her, in all the
beautiful faith of true womanhood, raise
her hand to his brow, and pushed back his
soft brown hair, looked into his eyes and
whisper Dear Louis ! dearer than all the
world beside,' and then, with a touching
grace bent forward for the seal of betrothal.
Reverently as a benediction, and as, holily,
was the first kiss laid upon her forehead.
Darling ! mine !' said his glad, full soul,
and the words dropped as pure as pearls.
Just then hasty steps came up to the cabin
door, and the teacher had merely time to
slip in the closet out of sight, while Kate's
dress exposed her hiding place.
After she ran and had been gone a
moment be followed, and when he was
gone out of sight, I ran too. They never
knew, even to this day, that I witnessed
their avowal and betrothal. I never told
them yet ; it was a scene too holy to make
merry over. After that Kate didn't go to
school any more. They were married the
following year, and moved to Connecticut,
and staid there till her little Kate was two
or three years old, and then they came to
Ohio to reside.
And is Uncle Louis the very same
schoolmaster ?' said Annie, with wide open
eyes and parted lips.
The very same,' said her mother, and
it it not a fortnight since I heard you
wondering how he got that scar on his
forehead, just under his hair. You
know that he got it when he took 'his last
ride on a handsled.
How, Kate, thilliaughter, was cured of
her mischievous propensities I will tell
some other time ; but it is a sad story, I
would not overshadow this merry one with
gloom.—Ladies Home Magazine..

TWO PIC L'UItES.
IMEMBIEI
What a vast amount of pleasure a man
must experience, who sees his sons and
daughters doing well. It must, in
deed, be a source of never-ending joy to
him in his last days, when the winter of
age is coming on, when his hoary head
begins to droop towards the ground, and
his limbs are beginning to totter and fail
—to see his sons and daughters blossom
ing into manhood and womanhood, and
acting the part of men and women, with
an aim and a purpose in view, more lofty
than any earthly thing—that of Heiven.
It must surely be great satisfaction to such
a man that he has children, and who, by
seeing them doing well, is ready at any
time to exclaim—" I am satisfied ! My
children are doing well ! They are act
ing their part nobly ! And I am very
thankful that God has spared me to wit
ness them thus nobly following my teach
ings." Surely, the man who sees his
children obedient, who sees them acting
their part nobly,-who sees them shunning
dissipation, and pursuing the right and
avoiding the wrong, must be happy.
But on the other hand : how is it with
the man who sees his children sinking in
to all kinds of vices 1 Gambling, drink
ing, swearing, fighting, and in fact doing
every evil thing that can be thought of ?
The case must be the very opposite with
the man-who secs his children doing well.
With such a man his children are an eating
canker of the worst kind to hits. They
are eating--by their sins and dissipations—
into his very vitals. Ile sees them even
in his sleep, at the gambler's table, or at
their bar room festivities, gambling, drink
ing, and calling on God to damn their poor
souls to the lowermost pit. They are
never out of his mind. They are, as it
were, living ghosts to him. And he can
not find where to lay his aged and infirm
limbs to rest. The trouble that they
bring to him is breaking him down faster
than any one is aware ot. But he cares
not how soon the good angel may conic to
bid his soul depart from its house of clay,
and enter into that rest which awaits the
weary and heavy laden.
Oh! young man and young woman, be
careful not to load your parents with
trouble if you can help it. Be careful not
to let yourself be caught in the snares that
wickedness and folly are continually weav
ing to ensnare the young. But act nobly
and conscientiously; that your parents may
in their old age thank you for strewing
their paths with flowers more sweet than
all the pleasures of their past lives. Re
member, that in obeying their teachings,
you are fulfilling one of God's commands,
, and you will not only have the approval of
your parents, but of your God, who sees
and notes your every action.
It is the case, sometimes, that parents
are to blame_ for the bad doings of their
children. They set up bad examples for
their children, and thus lead them into
bad habits before they are old enough to
know what is right, or what is wrong.—
This is a fault with a great many pa
rents. We would advise all young men
and women who have been led into bad
habits, through the wrong management of
their parents, to reform as soon as possi
ble. If they do this, or if they try to turn
from the errors into which they have been
led, they will find those who are willing to
give them the necessary advice, and help
them to shape the course of life which
they wish to lead.
Therefore, if young men and young wo
men have become dissipated, and wish to
reform, they should not be discouraged,
and think they cannot return to what is
-BUCH.A.NAN
right ; but they must persevere and try
to do what is right, and they will find
friends to help them in the very ones whom
they thought were their worst enemies,
when they were running riot in vice and
shame.
It is an easy matter to do right, if we
once make up our minds to follow the
right. And we do sincerely hope, that if
this article should happen to fall into the
hands of any one who has at any time
added a sorrow to the heart, or a furrow
to the brow of an aged father or mother,
that they will repent, and ask forgiveness
before it is too late. Obey your parents,
then, young man and young woman. Add
not a sorrow to the heart, or a furrow to
the brow of them who gave you birth, and
who nourished and protected you when
you were unable to help yourselves. Think
of this and smooth the pillow for them in
their old age, when they are not able to
help themselves, as they did for you
when you were not able to help yourselves,
and Heaven and a clear conscience will be
your reward.

WHAT I DON"I' LIKE
BY THE GLADE BARD
I don't like the person with a treacherous heart,
That is smooth before face, and dissembling apart ;
There's so much of the serpent, of which we read,
In his nature, that causes disliking indeed.
I don't like the persons who've something to say,
Disrespectful of neighbors, or those who're away,
And can put on a smile, fascinating and sweet .
When next the same persons, they've slandered, they
meet.
1 don't like the persons who two faces wear,
One to servo for the present, all smiling and fair;
The other disfigured by slander and scorn,
To apply to the absent, or those who are gone.
I don't like the man who has too much to say,
Whose tongue runs too fast for his wits all the day ;
He'd better learn sense, and this fact with it too,
That magpies and fools gabble more than men do.
I don't like the persons who always can find,
And see faults in others, but to their own blind,
And build up a mountain from a moleh , ll of fault,
To injure their neighbors, and themselves to exalt.
I don't like the persons, such ones as I've saw,
Who aro constantly seeking to pick out a flaw,
To blacken the name and the character too,
Of their neighbor,—no difference 'chether friend or
a foe.
I don't like the men who their business neglect,
And employ all their time others' faults to correct,
While their wives are at home, perhaps sick and in
bed,
And their children near starving and crying for bread.
I don't like to coo a man who spends all his cash,
Just solely in order to out a great dash,
And waste all in costly equipment and gear,
While his family at home is left stinted and poor.
I don't like the Ladies who put on their best looks,
And rig themselves out in their finery and hoops.
And run o'er the country, in dry and in wet,
While their husbands or fathers are pour and in debt.
I don't like to see Ladies in crinoline skirts,
When their husbands or fathers wear coarse, torn
shirts ;
They would better be at home and learning to sow,
Than running 'round idle and making a show.
I don't like to hear girls, when they'ro outside the
Betraying their ignorance by laughing"too much ;
For laughing and fidgeting, all ought to know,
Are very poor ways to enamor a beau.
I don't, lika to moo a girl Itavo too molly beaux,
It sets bad examples,—but so the world goes ;
If but ono she would have, 'twould bo better I'm
sure,
'Twould the love and respect of the virtuous secure.
I don't like a female with white tender hand,
Too modest to work, that her health may expand;
But feeble and pale on the uld sofa lounge,
And into hysterics the Piano thumb.
I don't like to see Ladies too weakly to work,
But able to dance a whole night without hurt
And never grow weary of parties or ball,
But can't cook a breakfast or dinner at all.
I don't like to see females who their bodies do lace,
Into human jackspaniards, to give them a grace ;
'Tis madness and folly to attempt to adorn,
Or to out-rival nature in shaping the form.
I don't like to see wives who good nature assume
When abroad, but are demons and fiends when at
home, --
And have smiling faces and kind words for all,
Except their own households, to whom they are gall.
I don't like to see boys too soon mixing 'mong men,
When they should be at home with their papa and
mom ;
The world to the youth is sometimes a bad school,
And instructs the young mind with a very bad rule
I don't like, in conclusion, what's idle or vain,
Contrary to nature's great law and design,
Or that's calculated to injure the mind,
And weaken forever the race of mankind.
