UNLIKE, YET LIKE
There is a blue which paints the sea at morning,
When skies are bright and treacherous breezes fair
There sea-gulls sail, the snowy wavelet scouring,
And out-with tireless wing the fragrant air :
A darker - hue in solemn distance warning,
Where gallant fives have grappled with despair.
How : like the ey r e of Woman, ead and tender,
Revealing, hiding all her heart•profound ;
Telling of storms from which no walls defend her,
Or of some trust the tempest boo not found ;
Flashing inlove's bright morn with burning spice
dor, •
Or darkening where some mighty hope went down
There is a blue the distant mountain folding,
When autumn sun-sets linger on the height;
The oraggy outline all to beauty moulding,
As slowly robing for the coming night :
A solemn court the giant monarch holding
Above the world, , in lone, majestic night.
Bo looks the eye of him whose patient seeking
Beholds bow all thin , their order stand :
No idle vengeance o the sinful wreaking,
lie strives to find what ighty Love has planned
To him the earth, in myriad voices speaking,
Tolle of a glorious thought in structure grand.
But looking upward from the waters glancing,
And from the mountain, solemn and at rest,
Above the clouds in gOlden radiance dancing,
Behold a blue, the beauteous and the beet!
A sapphire path o'er which the coursers prancing,
Bear Phoebus onward to the glowing West.
O Eyes of Childhood ! with thy blue supernal,
Fair, countless world- are is thine azure deeps:
As spring hides summer 'south her vesture vernal,
As skies hold stars and suns while nature sleeps :
What promise fair, what gleams of hope eternal
The gazer finds, and choice the vision keeps.
THE PEACEFUL WAITING
A little longer yet, a little longer,
Shall violets bloom fur thee and sweet birds sing
Arid the lime branches, where soft winds are blow
ing,
Shall murmur the sweet promise of the spring.
A little longer yet, a little longer,
Thou shalt behold the quiet of the mom;
While tender graeles and awakeningellowera
Send up a golden tint to greet the dawn.
A little longer yet, a little longer,
The tenderna=s of twilight shall be thine,
The rosy clouds that float o'er dying daylight,
To fade till trembling stars begin to shine.
A little longer yet, a little longer,
Shall starry night ho beautiful to thee
And the cold moon shall look through the blue si
lenge,
Flooding her silver path upon the aoa.
A little longer yet, a little longer,
Life shall be thine—life with its power to will,
Life with its strength to bear, to love, to conquer,
Bringing its thousand joys thy heart to fill.
A little longer still—patience, beloved ! •
A little longer still, ere Heaven unroll
The glory, and the brightness, and the wonder,
Eternal and Divine, that wuit thy soul.
A little longer ere life true, immortal,
(Not this our shadowy life.) will be thine own,
And thou shalt stand where winged archangels
worship,
And, trembling, how before the great white throne.
A little longer still, and Heaven awaits thee,
And fills thy spirit with a great delight.
Then our pale joys will seem a dream forgotten,
Our sun a darkness, and our day a night.
A little longer, and thy heart, beloved,
Shall beat forever with a love divine,
And joy so pure, so Mighty, so eternal,
No mortal knows and lives shall then be thine
A little longer yet, and angel voices
Shall sing in heavenly chant upon thino ear,
Angels and-saints await thee, and God needs thee
Beloved, can we bid thee linger here?

TEN YEARS AGO
BY • DAISY HOWARD
We stood in the gloaming, Willie and I,
listening to the wind sighing among the
trees, and to the beating of our hearts.—
We stood there silently, fearing to trust
ourselves to speak, for we were to part in
just one hour for three long years!
We bad agreed to bear this parting
calmly ; but it is no light thing to part
calmly from your only friend. Willie
thought so, too, for the deep eyes that
looked down into mine were unutterably
sad, and the proud lips trembled like a
woman's. I had, striven for strength all
day, long., but now I trembled, and should
have fallen if 1 had stood another mo
ment. We sat down silently, each heart
faint with the anguish that must not be
spoken. The stars came out one by one,
and stood sentinel in the very spot where
they had stood on other nights, when I was
happy.
When I was happy !" flow long ago
that seemed. I felt to-night as though
never could be happy again; and looking
beyond the floating clouds, I wondered if
nay precious mother could see he' child—
could know her heart was aching !—my
loving mother th;,t two months before had
gone to dwell in that g , Beautiful city" that
lay beyond those fluted pillars ! •
We sat on the steps of my old home,
which, after mother's death, had been sold,
and was now unoccupied. 1 had stolen
down here to say good-bye to Willie. I
was governess now in a fine house in town,
and in all that palace-like mansion there
was not a spot where I could meet my dar
ling. I wish 1 had not written that word
rf darling," but somehow it seems as if it
springs unconsciously to one's lips in
speaking of ones they love and in all
this wide sivorld I loved only Willie !
We safi on the old steps, battling for
the strengi.h each so sorely needed. A
pleasant summer wind was blowing, drift
ing a shower of leaves from the white rose
bush that was planted the day I was born.
I almoSt wished we could die there and
be covered with the pure leaves, like the
"Babes in the Wood."
Willie was the first to regain his calm
nOss, for' he was older and stronger than
While he talked of the necessity of
this parting, I could only think of the
dreary to-morrow, and of how I could ever
live without him. Willie was poor, and so
.was -I; and he could not get anything to
do hero -- that`tiorddikelplim to_grow rich ;
so he accepted the situation of tutor to a
rich man's son, the said son being on the
eve of departure to Italy, where he was to
remain for three years. .
* a * a IF
And now the solemn old town-clock
rang out the hour of ten, and at eleven
Willie must be g afloat.'
4 Ten o'clock ! is it possible ? Come,
Clare, we must go.'
Go where 1 0 that we could go to
gether ! 0 Willie ! how can I see you go ?'
Do not grieve, darling ; it unnerves
me, and I have need.. of all my strength
to-night. .0h ! Clare, it is almost more
than I can bear to leave you and this dear
old home, where I wooed and won you.'
He stooped down, and gathering a hand
ful of the white rose-leaves that had drift
ed like a snow-wreath at our feet, he
pressed them to his lips, and then folded
them in between the leaves of a little
pocket Bible that I had given him the
night before. Our parting words had
been said long before ; so he only raised
me up; and folding me to his heart, pressed
a last kiss upon lip, cheek, and brow, then
he left me. I flung myself down, and lay
upon the earth till the night dews pene
trated my thin garments and sent shiver
ings over ,my weary frame. I then flung
my shawl over my head, and passed rapid
ly to my new home.
Once there, I had, no time for thought,
for the children I had care of were waiting
to be put to bed, and their mother had
grown impatient at my long delay. I un
dressed each little form and laid it to rest ;
and then I was free, as my two older pu
pils were in the dressing-room with their
mother.
I sat down by the window, alone with
my wretchedness, and tried hard to rea
son myself into calmness. But, alas !
was powerless to banish thought and mem
ory. A kind face would come between
me and the starry sky, and a rich voice
kept saying, ' Good-bye, Clare.'
There was no one to call me darling
now. I belonged to no one ; nobody
owned me ; I was only Clare Summer
field, the poor governess!
From very weariness I laid my head
upon my pillow, feeling that I was indeed
alone.
This was ten years ago.
To-night I sit writing in the same home,
Clare Summerfield still. To-morrow lam
to take a new name, and—but I must not
anticipate.
After Willie left, I toiled my days out,
and watched my nights out, as I had done
the night we parted. Then came his long,
loving letters ; and carrying them next my
heart, I grew happier.
The first year was one of dreary unap
preciated toil. After that my employers
grew to love me, and the children loved
me, too. I will not weary you by relating
my every day life. Suffice it to say that
the weeks and months rolled on till the
third year of waiting drew near its close.
hen a new sorrow filled my heart; for
suddenly his letters ceased, and for months
I heard no tidings of him. Then came
the stunning news that lie was married !
George Leland, the son of my employer,
had a letter from a friend in Rome, giving
him an account of the wedding. After
this, 1 knew nothing for many weeks ;
and when I recovered, they told me I had
had a brain fever.
After that the days and weeks passed
uncounted. I did not heed the flight of
time. I lived in a kind of stupor, caring
only to fulfil my duties faithfully, and
render a full equivalent for the money
paid rue.
Doubtless the family knew of my sor
row, for they were strangely kind to me ;
even George seemed as though he could
not do enough to make me less sad. The
girls, too, treated me with the tenderness
of sisters. 1 yielded myself passively to
their guidance, for the heart must have
some oue to love, and kindness is never
so precious as after some great sorrow.
When I had been an intimate of Mr.
Leland's home five years, the two elder
girls, Mary and Louise, were married ; and
from that time I became as an own child
in the house. Then three more years
passed away, when an event happened that
destroyed, for a time, the sweet borne
feeling 1 was beginning to feel. This is
how I came about. The family had all
gone to the opera, leaving me alone,
as I had a headache, and did not wish to
go.
I was standing by the window, lost in
thought, when I was startled by an arm
stealing gently around my waist, and turn
ing quickly, I stood face to face with
George Leland.
Oh, George ! how you frightened me.
I thought, you had gone to the opera.'
He did not notice my remark, but pass
ing his hand onco or twice over my hair,
said :
Your curls are beautiful, Glare ; and
you are beautiful to me.'
There was something in the tones of his
voice that set my heart to fluttering, and
sent the hot blood surging through my
veins. I said, quickly :
You are pleased to be complimentary
to-night, my brother.'
Do not call me your brother Clare.—
I am not your brother.'
And then he poured forth a hurried tale
of love that distressed me beyond mea
sure. I told him that I could not love him,
that he was a brother to me, and no more.
But he would take no denial, saying he
would wait years, if I would only be his
wife at last ; that he had waited years, for
he had loved me from the first, and many
times the confession trembled upon his
lips, but he feared to risk the story of his
love till time had destroyed my love for
Willie. That night I passed more wretch
edly than any night for years. Next day,
Mr. and Mrs. Leland both talked to me,
saying they loved me as their own child,
and begged me to be indeed their child.
Though distressed, to seem ungrateful I
told them I could not be his wife ; that I
had loved William Halstead from a child,
and though he had proved false, there was
for me no second lovings.
I now felt that I must leave my present
home, for I could not live under the same
roof with George Leland. But this they
would not hear of ; George was going'far
away, with his uncle, and I must remain
and be a daughter to them, in affection
if not in name. So it was arranged, and
I breathed more freely when he was
gone.
Then things settled back in their old
way, and once more I was happy---no, not
happy, happiness and I had parted long
ago, but I was, Oontent,
Two years had drifted away into the by
" THAT COUNTRY IB THE mon PRORPAROUB WHIM LABOR 00111IAND8 TER GRIATUT BUCHANAN.
LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20, 1863
gone. In those years I had learned much
—among other things, to suffer and be
strong.' I was no longer the sensitive
girl that had bartered her whole life's hap
piness away for love, and lost.
I was a woman now, strong and self
reliant, with all an outraged woman's ram
pant pride to hold in check ; all her many,
many memories to ignore. I had fought a
desperate battle with my own heart, and
came off conqueror. I had entered my
room one night, determined to destroy
every relic of my faithless lover. Then I
was to forget him ; that was the plan. I
had a picture of him, that I had hung in a
large closet in my room, to keep it from
other eyes. It was like many of the old
fashioned closets, with shelves at one side,
and a window at the other. There was
room for my little tables and workstand,
and there 1 had been wont to dream my
dreams. Now it was different, and for
many long months—ay, years—it had been
closed and locked ; like the love-dream at
my heart, it must see the light no more.
On the night in question, I unlocked the
door and entered. I had determined to
destroy every token of the wild dream that
had. brought me so much misery. The
sight of the bright face hanging there
almost maddened me. The firelight shone
full upon it. At first, it seemed to smile
down tenderly upon me, and I thought the
beautiful lips whispered, Darling Clare.'
Then either my mood changed or the
picture did, for I aould have sworn the
handsome mouth grew haughty, and the
dark eyes flung taunting glances down
upon me, while the words forsaken, fore
saken,' rang in my ears. I snatched up a
heavy paper-weight, and though when I
raised my hand to strike, the old, pleading
look seemed to come into the face, I
dashed the weight right through the dear
eyes I had once loved, shivering the
picture to atoms. Then there were letters
to be destroyed, and a curl of glossy hair,
that had been given to me when a school
girl, a few faded flowers, and a ruby ring ;
and 1 destroyed them. Then I flung up
the window and sat down, in the bitter,
mid-winter night, feeling that a wall of ice
was built up between me and the only one
I ever loved. My lip curled scornfully,
as I thought of the past. Talk about
meek women, indeed ! I felt that night
as if I had the strength of a thousand men.
I felt like some triumphant general. I had
won a great victory !
Two more years drifted away. It was
my twenty-eighth birthnight, and I stood
before the mirror robing for a grand recep
tion to be given at the house of Judge
Stanmore. I was indifferent as to my toilet
generally ; caring little at any time for
dress. Why should I, when no loving
eye would look upon me ?—no father,
mother, sister, or brother in all the earth !
But to-night it was different ; there were
to be some distinguished strangers present
from transatlantic shores, and I must make
a mere careful toilet than usual. I deba
ted a little while—an unusual thing for me
—between ts€dresses, a black velvet and
a rich white satin. At last I decided in
favor of the velvet ; the sombre color
suited my sombre heart best. It seemed
strange that I who had felt no thrill of
vanity for years, should be vain to-night;
did it not ? I combed out my long hair,
and brushed it into heavy Rrls, gathered
them into a knot behind, an thrusting a
jewelled bobkin into the skinint mass, left
them to trail over my neck. Black,as
singularly becoming to me to-night i ,yor
my cheeks and lips were a vivid crimson,
and my eyes flashed like diamonds. The
rich black dress showed off my white neck
and - round arms to good advantage—
rounded for all my eight and twenty years.
I suppose I was called an old maid ;'
women of eight and twenty generally are ;
I believe. The close-fitting bodice, with
its berthc of rich lace, covered a bleak and
barren heart. But what did it matter ?
the world did not know it.
1 wore no jewels, save a tiny diamond
star, that flashed and gleamed above my
forehead—the gift of Mrs. Leland. Read
er, do you know for whom this toilet was
making ? Among the distinguished stran
gers from abroad was William Halstead,
one of the most popular authors of the day.
The rooms were crowded ; but among
all the many faces I saw only his face.—
His face was pale, and his eyes large and
shadowy. lie had thought and studied
his life out—that was plain to be seen.—
But what need I care This William
Halstead was nothing to me. A moment
more, and we stood face to face. My heart
gave a fierce bound ; I shivered, for I
thought it was going to prove a traitor
heart ; but in less than a moment it ceased
its throbbings and grew still.
I am happy to see you, Mr. Halstead.'
He held out his hand, silently 5 but I
took no notice of it; and as others came
up to clasp the hand I had refused, I
moved haughtily away.
Later in the evening, I stood alone on
the veranda, as far as I could possibly get
from the sound of human voices. It was
bitter cold. night wind blew keenly
upon my uncovered neck and arms, but I
did not heed it;
it was not half so cold as
the chill at my heart. I shuddered at the
darkness of my future, wondering if I
could bear it.
The distant hum of voices added to my
gloom. I moved farther into the shadow
as a footstep fell upon the gravelled walk.
It passed on, and once nitre I sank into
revery. Same time must have ,passed,
when a voice startled me.
6 Clare, this is madness, standing in the
winter wind, without even a shawl about
you. Mr. Leland is not over-careful of
the treasure he has won.'
I turned suddenly and met the dear
eyes that, ten years ago this very night,
had been dark with the anguish of our
parting. '
For a moment my heart grew faint, and
my limbs trembled; but, pride soon came
to my aid. •
? You had better return to the drawing
room, Mr. Halstead. Your wife will feel
lonely among so many strangers.'
4 My wife, Mrs. Leland? What mean
you?'
Mrs. Leland 1 I can but ask, in re
turn, what Mr. Halstead means ?
Are you not the wife of Mr. George
Leland, Clare
No, sir ; I am Clare Summerfield still.
But ere I return to the drawing-room,
permit me to congratulate you upon your
marriage.'
Clare Summerfield, there is some dark
mystery here. I have never been married
—never loved any one but you—never—
never ! I was to embark for America in
, a 'fortnight, when a letter reached me from
George Leland, saying you and he were
to be married in a week, and inclosing
wedding-cards done up in the usual dainty
fashion. I need not tell you of the sor
row that almost overwhelmed me. Here
was the reason why, for two or three
months, my letters remained unanswered.'
I never received one of them. It was.
George that told me of your marriage,' I
said, hurriedly, a light beginning to break
in upon my mind.
Reader, I will not weary you by relat
ing all,that passed between us ; suffice it
to say, before we parted, all was explained.
We found out the bitter wrong that had
been done us ; bat for the sake of Mr.
and Mrs. Leland, we resolved to bury the
secret of their son's dishonor in our own
breasts. It was a hard thing to do, when
we thought of how much precious time had
been lost in vain regrets ; that for ten long
years our hearts had been aching, and we
had been losing faith in mankind and wo
mankind.
Willie said he could forgive him, for it
was his love for me that had caused him
to sin ; that he did not blame him very
much—he did not see how he could very
well help loving me. I pressed my hand
over his mouth, to shut in the flattering
words ; but, dear reader, I will tell you,
in confidence, that I felt just as proud and
happy in hearing them as a woman could
well be.
Bat the little clock on the mantel tells
me that it is creeping on into the wee
sma' hours ;' and as I am to be married
to-morrow, I must say good night.
Lesson in Composition.
A writer to the Y. Observer, relates
the following of the late Dr. Murray, alias
Kirwan :'
Dr. Murray pursued his collegiate course
at Williamstown, during the Presidency
of that acute and accomplished critic, Rev.
Dr. Griffin. In his fourth year he was
brought into more immediate contact with
the venerable President, whose duty it
was to examine and criticise the written
exercises of the graduating class. Dr.
Murray, when a young man, and even
down to the day of his last illness, wrote
a free, round and beautiful hand—and his
exercise at this time, which was "to-undergo
the scrutiny of his venerated preaepr,
had been prepared with uncommon neat—
ness and accuracy. Dr. Griffin was accus
tomed to use a quill or pen, with a very
broad nib.
Introduced into his august presence,
young Murray, with becoming diffidence,
presented his elegantly written piece for
the ordeal. This discerning eye of the
President passed quickly over the first sen
tence, and with a benignant look, he turn
ed to his pupil, and said in his peculiar
way.
4 Murray, what do you mean by this first
sentence 'l'
Murray answered blushingly : mean
so and so, sir.'
4 Then say so Murray,' and at the same
time drew his heavy pen through line after
line, striking ontlabout one-third of it.
Having carefully read the next sen
tence, the venerable critic again inquired :
6 Murray, what do you mean by this ?,
He tremblingly replied : Doctor, 1
mean so and so.'
Please just to say so,' striking out
again about one-half of the beautifully
written page.
In this way, with his broad nib, (which
made no clean mark) he proceeded to de
face the nice clean paper of the youog col
legian, so that at the close of the exercise,
the erasures nearly equaled all that re
mained of the carefully prepared manu
script.
This trying scene was not lost upon
young Murray. He considered it one of the
most important events of his college
course. It taught hid to think and write
concisely; and when he had anything to
say, to say it, in a simple, direct, and in
telligible manner.
Indeed, much that distinguished him,
as,one of our most vigorous and pointed
writers, may be attributed to that early
lesson, Say so, Murray.'
A MOTHER.—By the quiet fireside of
home, the true mother, in the midst of her
children, is sowing, as in vases of earth,
.the seeds or plants that shall sometimes
give to heaven the fragrance of their blos
soms, and whose fruit shall be as a rosary
of angelic deeds, the noblest offering that
she can make, the ever-ascending and ex
panding souls of her children, to her
Maker. Evpry word that she utters goes
from heart to heart with a power of which
she little dreams. Philosophers tell us, in
their speculations, that He cannot lift a
finger without moving the distant spheres.
Solemn is the thought, but not more solemn
to the Christian mother than the thought
that every word that falls from her lips,
every expression of her countenance, even
the sheltered walk and retirement of home,
may leave an indelible impression on
young souls around her, and form, as it
were, an underlying strain of that educa—.
tion which peoples heaven.
PUZZLED FOR AN EXCUEE.—Some years
since, while the cholera was prevalent in
Virginia, the inhabitants,especially the [le
groes,were greatly alarmed. Among - othery
was a negro boy, who, having heard his
father say the cholera would soon be along
that way, left his work one day and betook
himself to the woods. Here he was found
by his overseer, soon after, fast asleep.—
Being taken to task for leaving his work,
he excused himself on the ground that
'not being prepared to die, he had gone
to the woods to meditate.'
c But,' said the overseer, ' how was it
that you went to sleep ?'
c Well, don't know, massa, how dat
was 'zaotly,' responded the negro, ' but I
speok I must have overprayed myself'!'
EIY A negro preacher was holding forth
on Sunday, and in the course of his remarks
said, Dar be two roads. De fust is a
brought straight road leading to death and
brimstone. De oder is a straight and nar
row road leading to hell and damnation.'
If dem be de fae,' shbuted Samba, rising
from his seat, die are nigger's for de
woods.'
Ira" An Irish lawyer lately addressed
the court as. , gentlemen' instead of your
honors.' A brother of the bar reminded
him of his error. He immediately rose to
apologise thus : ' May it please the court,
in the heat of debate 1 oalled your
honors gentlemen. • I made & mistake; yer
honors.
Hosr CONVERSATION.—ChiIdren hun
ger perpetually after new ideas, and the
most pleasant way of reception is by the
voice and ear, and not the eye and the prin
ted page. The one mode is natural, the
other artificial. Who would not rather
listen than read 2 We do not nnfrequent
ly pass by in the papers a full report of a
lecture, and then go and pay our money to
hear the self-same words uttered An an
dianoe will listen closely from the be
ginning to the end of an address, which
not one in twenty of those present would
read with the same attention. This is
emphatically true of children. They will
learn with pleasure from the lips of parents
what they deem as drudgery to study in
the book ; and even if they have the mis
fortune to be deprived of the educational
advantages which they desire, they cannot
fail to grow intelligent, if they enjoy in
childhood and youth the privilege of listen
ing daily to, the conversation of intelligent
people. Let parents, then, talk much and
talk well at home. A father who is habit
ually silent in his own house, may be, in
many respects, a wise man, but he is not
wise in his silence. We sometimes see
parents, who are the life of every company
which they enter, dull, silent, uninterest
ing at home among their children. If
they have no mental activity and mental
stores sufficient for both, let them provide
for their own household. It is better to
instruct children and make them happy at
home, than it is to charm strangers or
amuee friends. A silent house is a dull
place for young people—a place from which
they will escape if they can. 1 hey will
talk or think cf being ' shut up' there ;
and the youth who does not love home is
in danger. Make home, then, a cheerful
and pleasant spot. Light it up with cheer
ful, instructive conversation. Father,
mother, talk your best at home,
AN ORIGINAL DUEL.—OId Col. S., of
Wisconsin,, was an odd genius, a queer
compound of comic seriousness. Replete
with jokes, both original and selected, he
was not slow in hatching them up and deal
ing them out in small doses on different
occasions. One evening at a party, a
young gentleman upon whom the colonel
had told some cutting jokes, feeling him
self insulted, challenged the colonel to
mortal combat. The challenge was ac
cepted. Having the choice of weapons and
the appointment of the place of meeting, the
colonel told the young man to repair the
following morning at six o'clock to a cer
tain spot, and added, that he would see
that the weapons were there.' The fol—
lowing morning, at the indicated time, the
young man repaired to the indicated spot ;
said spot being among the lead mines, was
naturally furrowed with mineral holes.—
Well, youngster,' said the colonel, stick
ing his handa in his pocket and ejecting a
superfluous quantity of tobacco juice from
his capacious mouth, are you ready ?'—
Receiving an affirmative answer, he contin
ued : ' Here's where we are to fight,'
indicating a mineral shaft near by, which
was at least fifty feet deep, and here are
our weapons,' pointing to a pile of rocks.
Your'er to go down that ar hole and
throw rocks up, and I'm to stay up and
throw rocks down.,
It is needless that the challenge was
withdrawn.
THE TRUTH OF HISTORY VINDICATED!-
LINCOLN gets off the following piece of ex—
traordinary philosophy in his last message,
to wit :
4 It is not so easy to pay something as it is
to pay nothing, but it is easier to pay a
large sum than it is to pay a larger one, and
it is easier to pay any sum when we are
able than it is to pay it before we are able.'
We insist that the idea embraced in the
foregoing is not original with ABE, but
that it legitimately belongs to BEN LUCAS,
whose oddities are so familar to this com—
munity. Sitting at a table of a hotel one
day, when no one happened to be disposed
to engage in conversation, BEN, in = his
stuttering style gravely inquired of a
stranger sitting next him whether he knew
what would make more noise than a pig
fast under a fence.
The stranger replied with an emphatic
No!
BEN.—T-t-t-two f-f-f-fast un
der a f-f-f-fence !
And from this anecdote ABE must have
borrowed all his philosophy.
A GOOD EXAMPLE.—A pastor was ma—
king a call on a parishioner, an old lady,
who had made an habitual rule never to
speak ill of another, and had observed it
so closely that she always justified those
whom she heard evil spoken of. Before
the lady made her appearance in the parlor
several of her children were speaking of
her peculiarity, and one of them playfully
added—
Mother has such a habit of speaking
well of everybody, that I believe if Satan
himself were the subject of conversation,
mother would find out some virtue or good
quality even in him.'
Of course this remarked elicited some
smiling and merriment at the originality of
the idea, in the midst of which the old la
dy entered the room, and on being told
what had just been said, immediately and
involuntarily replied--
Well, my dear children, I wish we all
had Satan's industry and perseverance.'
Bill H—took a jug to the shop
and asked for a gallon of whiskey. He gave
his promise to pay for it on the spot. The
jug was not empt . But he stated that he
had already bought a quart, but wished
the concern filled as fall as it could hold.
When the gallon was poured into the jug
the money was not poured out of Bill's
pocket, for the latter was as empty as the
former was fall. Promises to pay were not
received, and the grocer poured the gallon
back again into the measure, leaving Bill
to truge off with his quart of rum, not much
worse for the little water with which it was
diluted. The grocer's gallon was a little
weaker, but Bill's quart had become a great
deal stronger.
1:1' A chap out west named Barnes,
who had made a speech at a war meeting,
was criticised in the village paper, which
said it was a very patriotic address but the
speaker, slandered Lindley Murray awfully.
The nest day Barnes wrote a note to the
editor, declaring he never knew such a
man in his life as Lindley, Murray, and
therefore could not have slandered him.
Mrs. Barnes, the wife, being at a tea party,
also took up the cudgel for her husband,
when the matter was discussed, by dealer—
Murray - began it by abusing
her husband, and got as hegave-P

"IN LUXURIANT CURLS
It makes the Hair soft and glossy. It Invigorates the
Hair. It beautifies the Hair. It cleanses the Hair: It
has a most delightful perfume.
it prevents the Hair from falling off; it fastens it to the
male. It is the only article ever yet discovered that will
curl straight Hair in beautiful curls, without injury to the
Hair or scalp.
The HYPERION does not in any manner Interfere with
the
NATURAL SOFTNESS OF THE HAIR.
It neither scorches nor dries it. The HYPERION can be
eo applied as to cause the Hair to curl for one day, or for
one week, or for one month, or any longer period cleared.
The HYPERION is the only article in the world but
what can be counterfeited or imitated by uprincipled per

for increased encouragement in this great enterptise, and
