THE WAY BY WHICH HE LED THEE
When we reach a quiet dwelling
On the strong, eternal hills,
And our praise to him is swelling
Who the vast creation fills;
When the paths of prayer and duty,
And affliction,
all are trod,
And we wake tosee the beauty
Of our Saviour and our God:
With the light of resurrection,
When our changed bodies glow,
And we gain the full perfection
Of the bliss begun below;
When the life that flesh obsoureth
In each radiant form shall shine,
And the joy that aye endureth
Flashes forth in beams divine :
While we wave the palms of glory
Through the long eternal years,
Shall we e'er forget the story
Of our mortal griefs and fears?
shall we e'er forget the sadness
And the clouds that hung so dim
When our hearts are filled with gladness,
And our tears are dried by Him!
Shall the memory be banished
Of his kindness and Ills care,
When the wants and woes are vanished
Which Re loved to soothe and share?
All the way by which He led us,
All the grievlngs which lie bore ;
All the patient love he taught us,
Shall we think of them no more?
Yes! we surely shall remember
How lie quickened us from death—
How he fanned the dying ember
With His Spirit's glowing breath ;
We shall read the tender meaning
Of the sorrows and alarms,
As we trod the desert, leaning
; On his everlasting arms.
And his rest will be the dearer,
When we think of weary ways,
And His light will seem the clearer
As we muse on cloudy days.
0, 'twat be a glorious morrow
To a dark and stormy day !
We shal recolleot our sorrow,
And the streams that pass away.
THE MIDNIGHT HOUR.
I love at midnight s hour to roam
When stars bedeck the glorious sky,
For then my soul can muse alone,
Without the murmuring concourse nigh.
Come, Solitude, with all thy charms;
Come, Peace, and lot me hail thy reign !
I want no meddler in my path ;
The thoughtless trace my steps in vain.
I gaze on many a spangled orb,
Think there, perchance, same forms may be
With brows ne'or soared by sorrow's mark,
And hearts where dwell serenity.
No matter, man, - what I surmise,
Go roar thy dwelling—count thy gold—
I'll draw my rapture from the skies,
And richer be a million-fold.
-----
FANNY AND I.
No, John Blaiklie, I shall never marry
you,' I said, in a tone which I meant should
be particularly severe. ' Let the conver
sation end here.'
Mr. John Blaiklie laughed in my face,
which by the way, was just what he ought
not to have done. The consequence was
that I grew angry in a moment.

Again John Blaiklie laughed a good

at my decision. Of course I grew more

been expected of me.

The neat Sabbath John attended cousin
Fannie to church. This was such a new
and strange order of things that it set the
whole congregation to staring. Cranston
could not sleep under anything so incom
prehensible, and for that Sabbath, at least,
gocd Parson Green preached to a wakeful
set of hearers. But they could only con
jecture as to the cause of the change, and
conjecture they did without leaving but
little time for any other mental specula
tion. Some were ready to declare that
cousin Fannie had supplanted me in John's
affection, and that I was breaking my heart
in a secret kind of way about it; others
said that the fault rested with me, and that
I was looking in another and higher direc
tion for a lover. But I had the truth, and
most sacredly did I guard it. It grew to
be a very plain truth before the summer
was gone. As time wore away, and I saw
plainly into the depths of my heart, I knew
that for a childish, girlish whim, I had put
the happiness of a life-time away from me.
But I could only wear a brave face, and
keep my secret away from the prying cu
rious gaze of those who were searching for
it.
I did not often meet John, and but twice
during that summer were we thrown into
each other's company for a sufficient length
of time to exchange a dozen words. Once
we met at a pic the. From the moment
that I stepped upon the grounds I knew he
was intending to speak to me, Perhaps I
felt it by the way he watched me as I went
from place to place. _When he came to my
side, it seemed that the whole party hushed
voice, heart and soul to listen to us. Ho
smiled at this, and commenced talking in
a pleasant, gossipy way about the weather,
appearing not to notice my flashed face
and slightly disturbed manner.
6 Are you enjoying the best of health,
this summer ?' he asked, at length, with
I thought, a faint touch of mischief in his
face. •
The very beat of health, Mr. Blaiklie,'
I answered, curling my lip. Perhaps
you have been informed to the contrary,
however,' I continued, more in answer to
his smile than,aught else. Cranston
gossips, have, I believe, given me the
credit of bearing up under a settled heart
disease.'
They are inferior judges, Bessie. Do
not class me among them.'
6 I never have,' I answered, dryly.
No, I suppose not,' he said smiling
again. This is a beautiful grove!'
Very !' I answered, feeling that it was
my turn to smile now.
Have you noticed the arrangment made
for dancers ?'
I shook my head.
Come this way, then, if you please.'
He offere r d me his arm, which I took
without thinking to thank him. For a
little moment I forgot that the right of
claiming his attention was not mine. It
seemed so like old times to be walking by
his side, watching his feet and listening to
the tones of his voice. Before I could
help it, 1 found myself sighing long and
deeply. If John noticed it he was very
forbearing, for by look or word he did not
reply to it i but I thought the silence was
a little too long for an ordinary one, and
so I made a bold push to break it. Again
I forgot myself.
What a nice place this it !' I said.
Do you remember, John, how crazy 1

used to say if my heart would always keep

you keep too closely in the house. But
you need not shake your head ; you will
go, John will be there, and we will have a
pleasant time of it.'
And I went in spite of myself, although
every step towards the house that was
once to have been mine, was like very tor
ture to me. 0, what a pleasant house it
was ! and how simply and tastefully fur
nished, from the cunning, neatly-grained
kitchen to the well-carpeted parlor !
Everything was just as I had planned it,
a hundred times, in a laughing jocose way
to John. Had he indeed remembered it
all on purpose to torture me with it now ?
It seemed so.
Do you like the house, Bessie V he
asked, as if divining my very thoughts.
Very much -indeed,'
_I answered.—
, Everything is neat and tasteful. Is it
too early to wish you joy 1' I asked, feel
ing that he was,expecting me to say some
thing.
No, not too early, bat it may be too
late.'
I looked up into his face. Its expression
puzzled me.
6 I do not understand you very clearly,'
I said. But never mind,' I added, notic
ing that Fannie had gone from the room.
I have a wretched headache to-night, and
hardly know what I am saying.'.
Headache ! when all the time it seemed
as if my heart was breaking !
Where is Fannie ?' 1 asked a moment
after seeing that she did not return.
Gone home !' he answered, in the cool
est tone imaginable.
4 What, and left me here !'
Yes, and left you here ! Are you
frightened ?' •
6 Not much—my poor head—l will go.'
Wait a moment, if you please,' he
said, detaining me. 4 I have something to
say to you.'
Something to say to me ! Did he know
that every kind word that he spoke to me

way. lam afraid you made a hard de
cision in casting me off forever. It seems
to me that I know your heart better than
you know it yourself.'
I looked up into his face. It seemed to
me that I was dreaming. I told him so,
between my sobs and tears.
God forbid!' he said, taking both my
hands in But the past summer has
been a wretched reality of doubt and
despair to me. Tell me, Bessie, is it ended
here 1'
I could not answer him in words, only I
pressed closer to his side, and nested my
hands fondly in his.
4 This shall be your home then, Bessie,
he said, kissing me. But, remember, my
dear, I cannot allow my house to go with
out an encumbrance, as the newspapers
say. Does that idea please you 3'
0 yes?' I answered. And John be

An Affecting Scene.
I was conversing, not long since, with a
returned volunteer.
6 I was in the hospital as nurse for a
long time,' said he, and assisted in taking
off limbs and dressing all sorts of wounds ;
but the hardest thing I ever did was to
take my thumb off a man's leg.'
Ah !' said I, how was that?' Then he
told me :
It was a young man who had a severe
wound in the thigh. The ball went corn=
pletely through and amputation was neces
sary. The limb was cut off close up to the
body the arteries taken up, and he seemed
to be doing well. Subsequently one of
the small arteries sloughed off. An incis
ion was made and it was again taken up.
it is well it was not the main artery,'
said the surgeon, he might have bled to
death before it could have been taken up.'
But Charley got on finely, and was a favor
ite with us all.
I was passing through the ward one
night, about midnight, when suddenly, as
I was passing Charley's bed, he spoke to
me. H , my, leg is bleeding again.'
I threw back the bedclothes, and the blood
spirted in the air. The main artery had
sloughed off.
Fortunately, I knew just what to do,
and in an instant I had pressed my thumb
on the place and stopped the bleeding. It
was so close to the_ body that there was
barely room for my thumb, but I suoeeded
in keeping it there, and arousing one of
the convalescents, sent him for tha sur
geon, who came in on a run. lam so
thankful H ,' said he, as he saw me,
that you were were up, and knew what
to do, for he must have bled to death be
fore I could have got here.'
But on examination of the case, he
looked exceedingly serious, and sent out
for other surgeons. All came who were
within reach, and a consultation was held
over the poor fellow. One conclusion was
reached by all. There was no place to
work save the spot where my thumb was
placed ;they could not work under my
thumb, and, if I moved it, he would bleed
to death before the artery could be taken
up. There was no way to save his life.
Poor Charley ! He was very calm
when they told him, and requested that
his brother, who was in the hospital might
be called up. He came and sat down by
the bedside, and for three hours I stood,
and by the pressure of my thumb kept up
the life of. Charley, while the brothers had
their last conversation on earth. It was
a strange place for me to be in, to feel
that I held the life of a fellow-mortal in my
hands, as it were, and stranger yet, to feel
that an act of mine must cause that life
to depart. Loving the poor fellow as I
did, it was a very hard thought, but there
as no alternative.
The last words were spoken. Charley
had arranged all his business affairs, and
sent tender messages to absent ones, who
little dreamed bow near their loved one
stood to the grave. The tears filled my
eyes more than once, as I listened to those
parting words. All were sad, and he
turned to me. Now H--, I guess
you had better take-off your thumb.' 'Oh,
Charley ! how can ll' said I. ' But it
must be, you know,' he replied cheerfully.
1 hank you very much for your kind
ness and now good-bye.'
g He turned away his head, I raised my
thumb, once more the life current gushed
forth, and in three minutes poor Challey
was dead'

EATING HABITS.—The most common
way to a premature grave and one of the
shortest buts to that destination is down s
man's throat. There is a multitude which
no man can number, daily eating immoder
ately, thus sapping the constitution and
laying the foundation for innumerable ills
and a too early grave. The wise man does
it, and the fool ; the virtuous and the aban
doned ; the kind and the cross, of all °limes,
are among the errorists. But there are
some who are wise as to this point, and the
number is increasing ; the number of those
who are men and women of force ; who think
for themselves ; who have vigor of intellect
enough to compare causes and affects, ante
cedents and consequents. There is con
stantly 'coining to us the knowledge of
mothers, who by the teachings of this Jour
nal, have been led to regulate their house
holds rationally, and are reaping a rich re
ward in the shape of health for themselves,
and what is dearer still, increasing health
for their children.
The first point in the philosophy of eat
ing is to perform that very necessary busi
ness with the greatest regularity. A young
Scotch trapper, Thomas Glenday, told us
thirty years ago, that the Indians, with
whom he had been bunting, ate but once a
day, and that was in the early evening ;
that then, a single individual would con.
same several pounds of meat, smoke his
pipe, lie down - to sleep, get up by the dawn
hunt all day, eating nothing until the night
again. An old beau of Washington city
took it into his head that eating was a
trouble, and that he would perform that
process but once a day. On Occasions of
his being invited out in the evening, he
felt compelled to take something, although
he had eaten his regular dinner ; but then
he would eat nothing at all next day.—
These irregularities were very rare ; he
died when nearly eighty years of age, a
sprightly and gallant old beau to the last.
On the other hand, persons who are regu
larly irregular seem to live a good while.
Captain Hall lately stated to the Historical
Society, in this city, the case of some Es
quimaux, w,ho, being carried to sea on a
cake of ice, ate absolutely nothiug for the
space of thirty days when each man swal
lowed about thirty pounds of meat and oil,
and neither bursted up nor died. But ob
servation has shown that, both as to man
and beast, regularity in the hours of eating
is indispensable to a healthful, thriving con
dition. Most articles of food require sev
eral hours to be placed in condition to be
passed out of the stomach ; and if a new
supply of food is introduced before this pro
cess of digestion, or conversion, is comple
ted, the former food is not passed out until
the latter has been brought to its own con
dition ; the result of its being kept warm
for so long is, that it begins to decay, gas
is generated, and the whole tnas3 is cor
rupted. Those who eat often, who eat be-
tween meals, always have wind in the stom
ach and other places : but if it cannot
escape, it causes a feeling of weight or op
pression, and this is dyspepsia, that horrid
bag which has a thousanc, ails in her traiM
Half the girls' have dyspepsia before they
are seventeen, in consequence of their ev
erlasting nibbling at every eatable in the

times for eating would seem to be at day
light, noon and sundown ; the last meal
being very light indeed.—Hall's Journal
of Health.
LONGEVITY OF THE ANTEDILUVIANS.-
There are so very many causes contribu
ting to shorten considerably the length of
human life, that we have completly lost
evey criterion by which to estimate its origi
nal duration ; and it wonld be no slight
problem for a profound physiological science
to discover and explain from a deeper in
vestigation of the earth, or of astronomical
influences, which are often susceptible of
very minute application, the primary cause
of human longevity. By a simpler course
of life and diet than the very artificial,un
natural, and over-refined modes we follow,
there are, even at the present day, numer
ous examples of a longevity far beyond the
ordinary duration of human life. In India
it is by. no means uncommon to meet with
men, especially in the Brahmineal caste,
more than a hundred years of sge, and in
the robust, and even generative vigor of
constitution. In the laboring class of Rus
sia, whose modes of life is so simple, there
are examples of men living to more than a
hundred, a hundred and twenty, and even
a hundred and fifty years of age ; and, al
though these instances form but rare excep
tions, they are more numerous there than
in other European countries. There are
even remarkable oases of old men who after
the entire loss of their teeth have gained a
complete new set, as if their constitution
had received a new sap of life, and a prin
ciple of second growth. What in the
present physical degeneracy of mankind,
forms but rare exception, May originally
have been the ordinary measure of the du
ration of human life, or at least may afford
us some trace and indication of such a meas
ure, more especially as other branches of
natural science offer corresponding anali
gies. On the other side of that great wall
of separation which devides us from the
primitive ages, in that remote world so lit
tle known to us, a standard for the dura
tion of human life very different from the
present may have prevailed; and such an
opinion is very probable, supported as it
is by the manifold testimony, and confirmed
by the sacred record of man's divine origin.

SINGULAR ANECIDOTE.—There was
young woman left in the care of a house ;
her master and mistress being in the coun
try. One night on her going to bed, when
she was undressing herself. she looked in
the glass and said, How handsome I look
in my nightcap.' When she arose in the
morning she found the house robbed. She
was taken into custody on suspicion of being
concerned in the robbery, was tried and
acquitted. Some time afterwards as she was
walking in company with another female,
a man passing her said, 4 How handsome I
look in my nightcap.' The expression so
forcibly struck her mind -that he was the
man who robbed the house, she seized hold
of him with the utmost intrepidity, and held
him fast, asissted by her, companion, till he
was given into custody, at which time he
confessed than when he was under the bed
he heard her use the ei - preserdmi previously
to his robbing the house, , and he suffered
accordingly.

to expect.
EXPAND THE C.HEST.—Those in easy
circumstances, or those who pursue sed
entary, indoor employment, use their lungs
but little, breathe but little air into the
chest, and thus, independent of position,
contract a wretchedly small chest, and lay
the foundation of the loss of health and
beauty. All this can be perfectly obvi
ated by a little attention to the manner of
breathing. Recollect that the lungs are
like a bladder in their construction, open
to double their size with perfect safety,
giving a noble, chest and perfect immunity
from consumption. The agent and the
only agent we require, is the common air
we breathe ; supposing however, that no
obstacle exists, external to the chest, such
as tying it round with stays, or having the
shoulders laying upon it. On arising from
your bed in ihe morning, place yourself in
an erect position, the shoulders thrown off
the chest; now inhale all the air you can,
so that no more can be got in ; now hold
your breath and throw your arms off be
hind, holding your breath as long as pos
sible. Repeat these long breaths as much
as you please. Done in a cold room is
much better, because the air is much
denser and will act more powerfully in
expanding the chest. Exercising the chest
in this manner will enlarge the capability
and size of the lungs.
SATISFACTION IN PEIISPEOTITE.-A
very zealous and devout layman of the
Freewill faith, at a certain factory village
in New Hampshire, who was ever ready to
do his share of speaking in meeting,' had
the ill luck to board at a house where the
most of the inmates were anything but
good, steady pious men—awl who seemed
most delighted when they could play some
mischievous prank upon our good man.
One Sunday morning our saint, to complete
his toilet, inserted his two fore fingers into
the straps, and his foot into the leg of a
pair of bran new boots ; he gave a smart
pull, and smack ! his toes oame full tilt
against an egg of dubious age—dropped
by some cruel wag. After a little time
and trouble, the martyr was ready for
church, although late, somewhat. During
the sermon, our victim bit his lip and
nursed his wrath ;' but as soon as the dis
course was finished he arose and thus let
off his ire : My brethren, the reason of
my being late this morning at the sanctu
ary, was on the account of a prank played
upon me by one of those children of sin who
sojourn under the same roof with me. I
don't know for certain who it was that did
the mischief, but it was one consolation to
know that at the great judgment day we
shall see then, all of us know who laid the
rotten egg in my bran new boot !'
How HE CAUGHT HIM.—In the neigbor
hood of Chicago lived old Uncle John
Johnson. He came from the land of stea
dy habits a long time ago, and would be
right glad to see the friends he had left
behind. Bat it was a long way to go, and
he was old and stiff in the joints. He sent
his son Tom to visit and bring him a full
report of all the folks he once knew. Tom
was right glad to make the trip, and when
he got to Norwich he soon found the , girls
so agreeable that he forgot all about the
old cronies his father wanted him to hunt
up, and went back after a month's visit.—
His father asked him about his old neigh
bor Perkins, but Tom didn't recollect the
name:
c Well, bow is Deacon Huntington
But Torn hadn't seen the deacon.
Did you see Mr. Rockwell ?'
No,' Tom had missed seeing him. And
so the old man went on with his questions
till he saw that Tom had been fooling him ;
and to try him once more he asked :
c Did you see old Parson-Noyes 1'
Tom thought it about time to have seen
somebody, and answered promptly.
c Oh, yes; he's first rate—sent lots o
love— wants to see you badly.'
c Oh, murder !' gasped the old man.—
Yon little pesky liar, Parson Noyes has
been dead these forty years!'
Tom took a candle and went to bed

being cheated. The loss whether real or
fancied, of a few cents, would give him
more pain than the-destruction of our en
tire navy. He one day bought a large
cake of tallow at a country store at ten
oents a pound. On breaking it to pieces
at home, it ;,was found to contain a large
cavity. This he considered a terrible dis
closure of cupidity and fraud. He drove
furiously back to the store, entered in great
excitement, bearing the tallow, and exclaim
n g :
Here, you rascal, you have cheated
me ! Do you call this an honest cake of
tallow It is hollow, and there ain,t near
so much of it as there appeared to be I I
want you to make it right.
Certainly, certainly,' replied the mer
chant. I'll make it right. 'I didn't know
the cake was hollow. Let me see ; yon
paid ten cents per pound. Now Mr. N.
how much, do you suppose that hole would
weigh
Mr. N. returned home with the dishon
est tallow, but was never quite satisfied
that the - had not been cheated by buying
holes at ten cents per pound.
THE WRONG MAN. — Presence of mind
often saves one in emergencies. In the fol
lowing case, an old toper seems to have
been peculiarly blessed:
A good anecdote is told of a man named
Bently, a confirmed drinker, who would
never drink with a friend or in public, and
always bitterly denied, when a little too
steep, ever tasting liquor. One day some
bad witnesses concealed themselves in his
room, and when the liquor was running
down his throat, seized him with his arm
crooked and his month open, and holding
him fast, asked with an air of triumph :
Ah, Bently, have we caught you at last ?
Yon never drink, eh? No one would
poso hut that Bently would have aoknoWl
edged the corn. Not he ; with the most
grave face and inexpressible calmness, and
in a dignified manner, he said—'Gentlemen,
my name is not Bently !
1:17" It is reported that a Yankee down
East has invented a machine for corking
up daylight, which will eventually super
sede gas. He covers the interior of a flour
barrel with shoemaker's wax—holds it open
to the sun, then suddenly heads up the bar
rel. The ight sticks to the wax, and at
night can be out into lots to suit purchasers.
11.7 .- Old Nick's favorite game, the
game of poker.
BE CHEER= AT YOUR MEALS.—The
benefit derived from food taken depends
very much upon the condition of the body
while eating. If taken in a moody, cross,
or despairing condition of the mind, diges
tion is much less perfect and slower than
when taken with a cheerful disposition.—
Very rapid and silent „eating should be
avoided, and some topic of interest intro
duced at meals that all may partake in,
and if a hearty laugh is occasionally in
dulged in it will be all the better. It is
not uncommon that a person dining in
pleasant and social company can eat and
digest well that which, when eaten alone
and the mind absorbed in some deep
study, or brooding over cares and disap
pointments, would be long undigested in
the stomach, causing disarrangement and
pain, and, if much indulged in, become the
cause of permanent and irreparable injury
to the system.
AN INGENIOUS TEST.-A short time
ago a merchant, in proseonting his morn
ing tour in the suburbs, found, as he walked
along, a purse containing a considerable
sum of money. He observed a lady at
some distance, who he thought would be
the owner and loser. Determined to be
correct in the party to whom he delivered
it, he fell upon a strange yet ingenious
plan to effect this ; he resolved to act the
part of a poor, distressed man and boldly
went forward hat in hand and asked alms.
This was answered with a polite Go away !
I have nothing to give you.' The poor
man, however, persisting in his entreaties,
would not go until he had got assistairte
for his famishing wife and children. At
last the lady condescended ; but to her
dismay found the wherewith was gone.
The merchant, with a polite bow, returned
the purse, with the advice in future to be
more generous to the distressed.
117" That was a very pretty conceit of a
romantic father whose name was 'Rose,
and who named his daughter Wild,' so
that she grew up under the appellation of
Wild Rose.' Bat the romance of the
thing was sadly spoiled in a few years, for
she married a man by the name of Bull.'
lC At a Sunday School, the other af
ternoon a bright looking little fellow was
asked, What.is conscience !' He answer
ed, very properly, An inward monitor.'
And, What is a monitor V ' Oh, one of
the iron-clads.'
117" Silent gratitude was Well exempli
fied by the little boy, who when asked
whether he thanked the lady for the stick
of candy she had given him, replied : ' Yes,
but I didn't tell her so.'
