TOE OLD COUPLE.
They sat in the bun together,
Till the day was almost gou;
And then at its elm, an angel
Steiiped over the threshold stone
lie folded their hands together,
He touched their eyelids with bairn,
And thyr last breath floated upward
Like the close of a solemn
Like a bridal psi: they tratersed
The Unseen, mystial road,
That leads to the beautiful city,
Whose builder and maker is God.
Perhaps in that miracle country
They will give her lost youth bacit,
And the flowers oft vanished spring,timo
Shall bloom in the spirit's track.
One draught of the living waters
Shall restore his manhood's prime,
And eternal years shall measure
The love that enUiveth time.
But the shapes they left behind them—
The wrinkles and silver hair—
liade sacred to us by the kisses
The aagels imprinted there—
Ye'!! hide !may in the meadow,
When the sun is low in the west,
There the moonbeams cannot and them,
Nor the wind dieted, Muir rest,
isctllmteous.
MY WIFE'S VISION.
At the time of which I *rite I was
master of the brig Argonant, sailing
between Portland and Rio Janeiro,
a matter of from sixty to seventy
days length.
I -halt been married: about two
years to Emily Hasbrouk. My wife
was a young woman of uncommon
good sense, and had waited quietly..
at her mother's hOuse in Cambridge
until I was whole master of the Ar
gonaut, and my worldly goods be
came sufficient therewith to endow a.
wife, when we were married, after a
long trial of mutual loire and faith.
Between Emily, and her niotlier.
theme existed an unusual affection
and intimacy. The two liomon were
- all that , were left of a once large and
prosperous family. Little by little
the property had vanished, one by
one the Sons had died, and when.old
Captain Hasbrouk was lost down in
the Gulf, his widow and ono _ little
clithl were left alone and poorly pro
vided for. Like most New England
wothen, - Mrs. Hasbrouk know how to
wake a little go a great way, and
Emily was well educated. Mrs. Has
brouk was -like a mother to me al
ways-,-,,and when I took Emily away
ota__ - my first - voyage after we were
Married, - I think I was almost as
near crying as my bride at leaving
the old lady and the snug little
home. 'r
Emily was a wonderful sailor and
made the voyages with me like an
old tar,! Never being in the least'af;
feeted by weather or-waves, and al
ways bright and - cheerful. " The
captain's lady " was greatly admired
by the Crew for her strength of mind
and "sea worthiness," and to me she
was of course ; a great joy and coin
. fort, for I have always pitied the
lonely sea-faring men who hare to,
leave their wives ashore.-
On the 3d of August we were pre
paring for another trip, and Emily
and I went down to Cambridke to
bid her mother good-by. We had a
happy day together, and Mrs. Has
brouk was looking so well and bright
that I spoke of it, and complimented .
her on her good looks.
" Yes, George," she said, " I have
never felt' bettor, and if it were not
that you are going to take Emily
away again, I would say I never felt
in better spirits. I only hope, my
doerchildron, that we shall ell meet
again in this way when you come
home," she added, . with something
of solemnity in her touts.
Emily kissed her, and told her
that we all meant to be just so: well
and happy when we met again. "And
don't mind, mammy dear, about
writing to me, for George says there
can be no communication between
this and Rio •before we shall be on
our homeward trip."
" I cannot hear from you, my dar-
ling, before I see you ? " Mrs. Has- .
brook asked, as she walked to the
little gate with ns.
" Not unless my wrath should visit
yon," Emily said, laughing thought
lessly, as she gave her mother a final
embrace..
Mrs. Hasbronk's farewell to me
'was very loving and tender, as she.
blessed me and bade me take care of
her darling chili. She always put
Emily under my prote \ ction in this
way,jnst as she had done at the time
of our commencing the Voyage of.life
together,, so that I was perpetually
having renewed the pride and humil
ity of a naw made husband when I
was bidding Mrs. Hasbronk farewell.
When. we Were in. the cars, bound
for Portland, Emily said to me, "It
is such a comfort to me, George, to
have seen mother looking so well be
fore I sail." I was glad too, and we
started on our outward course with
fine weather and light hearts.
We had a month of undisturbed
clear sky. The wind blew especially
for our benefit, and we were making
an uncommonly swift passage. The
crew had hardly enough work to oc
cupy them, for the vessel almost sail
ed herself. Emily sat on deck most
of the timeoind did no end ofiworst
ed work and light reading and k lin the
moonlight:nights she would keep out
till midnight sofnetimes, singing and
watching the waves in the shine,and
the phosphorescence on the water.
We were prepared through all this
easy time, for the foul weather to
come,, and when the wind shifted,
and a little cloud no bigger than a
man's hand began to rise, " We're a
waitin' for the blow," said Jack Salt ;
and sere enough we had it for forty
.eight hours, heavy and strong, and
then it calmed downfsomewhat, and
we took a - run of rainy days, not fit
for any but men to be out in.
Emily staid below, except once she
pat - her head out.of 'the companion
way, all tied up in a' hood, and smil
ing and nodding to 'me she said,
I.Jgh I - how wet and nasty every
thing looks I even the sea seems more
watery than it was before. I think
I had-better go down again, Geerge.
I mall not do for a deck hand." So
she dibappearefl into our cabin.
pi. (6,110 g (il.O ff Cistlf4,l.o:lll
On the night of Thursday,the 29th
of illeptember,five days out from Rio,
I staid on deck rather later than W -
ual, talking with the mate. It was a
quiet night, drizzling a little, but the
sea smoother than it had been in
some tine. Mr. Myles, the mate,
.who was rather a queer fellow, had
been telling me some stories border
ing on the supernatural, and had
tried his best to make me give into
his belief in the communication of
departed spirits with this world. I
turned down the cabin stairs with an
incredulous shake of the head, and
left him on deck with his watch
I' had bid Emily good-night at
least two hours before, when I left
her to go on •deck, and expected to
find her asleep_in her berth. It was
eleven o'clock when I left Myles at
the ladder head, and I descended
softly, not to disturb Emily. As I
opened the door I could see that she
was not in her berth, but it was not
till I was fairly in the cabin that I
saw her.
My wife was standing in the mid
dle of the floor,her black hair stream
ing round her. Her hands were clasp
ed, ,and held a little in front of her
bosom. Her face was cuEile. as
snow - ; her eyes were staring and
blank, - as though they saw nothing
around her. Never have I behold
such awful anguish as her whole as
pect showed..
Emily! my Wife!" I cried.
She gave a sort of gasp.
" George, I have seen my mother !
—my mother is dead!"
I caught her as she fell forward in
a swoon.
When, my dear wife returned to
consciousness I tried to keep her as
quiet as possible, but it seethed that
she must unburden her mind of the
awful revelation that had been made
to her. I sat by her all that night
and held her trembling hand in
mine ; and at last she told me how
it had come.
My wife said : " I was ready to go
to bed, but the ship rolled so little
to-night that I thonglit I would read
awhile before I. turned down the
light. I suppose I had read about
fifteen minutes, when suddenly I lie
gnu to think of mother. I Often do
this .„for, somehow, when I am
thinking of other things mother
comes into my mind, and then I al
ways say, " She is thinking of me
now, or talking about - me:to some
one." Gradnally I took my eyes off
the book, and raised them toward
the door . of the caLin, and there my
mother stood before me. - She was
very pale, as though she 11 , 1(1 been
through some illness, and her hands
:ore crossed upon her breast.. I
spoke to her : " Mother, what is it ?"
She smiled, and waved her hand' to
me, and disappeared. I know that
she is dead, and 'that I shall never
see her again "
Emily was strangely. moved and
excited throughout this recital. At
first I was frightened, for I thought
her mind must be affected in some
way. Bnt last She became so calm
and sad 'that I saw she really believ
ev her mother to be dead. And I
believed it too. Why should not two
hearts, so closely bound together as
were Emily% and her mother's, be
able to communicate to each other
Such great chaffge as the leaving the
world? I believed Mrs. Hasbrouk's
spirit. had found menus to tell her
faithful daughten of its flight.
When we reached Rio,EmilY caus
ed mourning to be prepared, and our
homeward voyage was not gladden
ed by my wife's songs- She was (pike
subdued by -her sorrow and loss.
We reached Portland on the 20th
of December, late in the afternoon.
Emily found that a train loft for-Bos
ton-at, four o'clock, and finally per
suaded me to gO with her to Cam
bridge. -
" You can got back. to Portland
early enough in the morning, George
dear," she said ; and I feel that I
can not rest till I , haVe been to the
dear old home, though it will be so
changed-and sad."
I tried' to dissuade my wife from
going until we had heard some par
ticular of the !condition of her;moth
er's house; for there might be stran
gers in it, and I thought it would be
less trying to her to visit it by day
light, and after her mind was some
What prepared to Meet new people
in her mother's place.
We went to Boston, however,, and,
taking a carriage, drove out to Cam
bridge. It was nearly ten o'clock
when we reached the street on which
Mrs. Hasbronk'S house stood.
My wife was shivering, more with
restless dread than cold, as we drove
up"ito Alm once happy. little home.
She was very,quiet, though I know
she was powerfulltaffected.
The House seemed _quite dark in
front. •
'As we knocked (Emily had insis
te,d,on getting out of the carriage,and
stood close to me) —as we -knocked,
the:lock turned, and the door was
thrbwn open. • The hall was filled
with light, and in the doorway, as
bright and well as ever,
~stood Mrs.
Hasbrouk, the slum) happy lady we,
had left five months before.
Emily, of. course, went hack to

THE TEACHERS' MISSION.
An Essay- read biprc Me Bradford anitily
Teachers' Association, by Niss Cuun \Dim-
WC&
I come not before you this morn
ing with a labored essay, filled with
abstruse ideas. I, would rather let
fall a few chance drops from that
jeweled chalice of thought, filled at
the fountain of Truth.
I will not endeavor to unravel hard
sayingl3, .or to bring tg light hidden
truths, but numb- to catch a few of
he random thoughts that flit hurri-
edly through my mind. These I
offer for your consideration, as you
repose upon tho "most bank of lei
sure," and pluck the. "fairy. flowers
of content " that deck the time
stained rock of Meditation.
And I-trust that Charity -will be
no stranger iii our midst, for how
ever carefully the garden may have
been weeded, there will be some
tares; however diligently the grapery
may have been thinned, some fruit
will,be sour; despite the dilikence_ of
the,gnards, some foe may lurk with
in the camp. .
Teachers, our mission is a noble
one. The effect of onr.labors will be
perceptible, not merely for a (Isay, nor
for a ear; but throughout the net er
ending ages of eternity.
The children of to-day !. The mass
es of to-morrow ! ;They are the same.
How important, then, that they
should lac educated aright,, that their
minds hould be filled with pure and
holy as Arations ! We must become
betterfitted to perform our .duties,
and then they will be both pleasant
and profitable.
In order to make real our ideals,
we must help one another. Mutual
depenleeen is the great law of
,hu;
manity, and no one realizes the truth .
of this l more fully than does the
teneher .-
We often hear of the deeds of self
made nen. Self-made, indeed ! AS
if any *fin could live independent of
his fellows I lie might truly breathe,
depending for breath upon his Cr-ea-
tor alone; but is this life? Is this
the life with which we, as teachers,
.should be 'content? No 4 away with
such drones and sluggards, - who
barely exist, with no care for others,
no thought even for self beyond the
presuut moment. We must be live
men and women. We must enter
into our work with enthusiasm -and
love. We must make our schools
halls of learning, where the mind
hungering and thirsting after know
ledge, eau be fed with true wisdom
Hence we' as teachers, should not
only be learned iu the lore of this
world, but we should also be wise: in
the-knowledge of spiritual things. I
think I. am not saying too much,
when I aEsert that every teacher
should be a Christian. And why?
Because the ChriStiau, the only per
fed, type of the Great Teacher, is
alone able to guide the yoUth in the
paths-of true knowledge.
Our teachers should - aL. , .o i :be. per
son 6 of originality, not mere ',mouth
pieces of some school or system. -
Howeyer much we may prize. the
words of the old song, " Listen to
the mocking-bird, singing so sweet,''
they .oust not be spoken urreferenee
to ns.
We windingust leave the old
- .
paths, m which our fathers for gene
rations have traveled; and make for
ourselves and those under our care
new and far better. paths. We should
not.confine them , to text-books, which
are too often dull and wearisome,
but help them to learn from the
greater book of Nature. There the
songs, warbled by bright-plumed
birds, are. written by the fingers- of
the ' Almighty 'on field and forest.
Flowers are said to be the alphabet
of angels. God uses this, alphabet
to write great truths for man. The
angels pause before. r the great White
Throne, and learn these songs; then
floating away Away they mite
them all over this green earth. The
birds catch the strains,
and sweetly
pour them forth from millions of tiny
throats, until the ether vibrates with
the melody.
And shall we dare stifle the long
ing of the immortal spirit, by chain- .
ing the minds of the children down
to the hard realities of life? .No;,
they will be obliged to learn s these
lessons soon enough. Let them en
joy the beauties and .the v_ ices of
nature while they may. Fill the
school-rooms with flowers. Bring
them now a rose, now a lily, a daisy
or a violet,' and explain to them its
nature; teach them how it • grows,
what is its mission, and how it per
forms that mission. Or we can teach
them misny a valuable lesson from
the wing of a butterfly, the web of
spider, the feathers of a bird, or the
cast-off skin of a -Serpent. Thus we
make teaching pleasing and instruc
tive.
Wo should not • present merely
names and:ries, and afterwards the
things themselves; but rather give
first the thing, then its use, and last
of all its name. Thus by a pleasing
association of ideas, the facts acquir
ed Will be more readily assimilated
than couhl other Wise be possible:.
Were these lessons judiciously .in
termingled with. the more solid
branches, there Would be fewer matii
euiatical ignoramuseS, geo<T ° raphie.d.
blockheads, or grammatical dunces ;
and ruoriOne, earnt‘..•.;t men ankl. w:,-
m en., Then, and-not till then, will
our mission be accomplished. .
These arc the teachers the country
and the times demand. To such the
whole world is crying, -Come and
help us."' We live in au age of pro
gress, I may say in a fast age, and
we must nccesarily be fast teachers,
live, active, ever Working._ What
though we occasionally :lel> ahead of
the present moment, and advance
ideas. which are ridiculed by time vul
gar ? It matters not. Tile world'
will soon lise up to them. Better
this than to fall behind the
,rapid

PRAYER EOR SIINDAY-20H6L13.
The committee of the Condon Sun
day-school union has retently Wtucti
the following call to prayer :
TTNYVERSAL PRAYER FOR OER SUND IY-
13CIIPOLS.
"Arise, cry out in the night: in the
beginning of the watches pour .out
thine•heart like water before-the faee
of the Lord: lift up thy hands. toward
him for the life of thy young chil
dren, that faint for hunger, in the
top of evertstreet.—Lam., ii : 10.
.It has been thought by 'the com
mittee of .the Sunday-school union,
that in view of the solemn and in
creasing' responsibilities of their
work, their fellow-laborers' would
gladly welcome the proposal to ap
point a day on which teachers thro'-
out the land might offer special pray
er, both unitedly and- privately, on
behalf of those committed to Their
.charge. -
In ansiirer to_such a prayer, a new
blessing might be confidently expect
ed; while the effect of the hallowed
fellowship would be felt by both the
teacher and the taught; the former
being stimulated to more fervid pie
ty and zeal, and the latter being' led
to, a more- thoughtful concern for
`their immortal intere,sts.,
• The- committee therefore propose
that Lord's Day, ithe 20th of Octo
ber, and.Monday,° tho - - 21st of Octo
ber, should be set apart for the above
purpose, and suggest that the follow
ing order should be as closely as
possible observed.
That on Lord's Day morning, Oc
tober 20, between seven and eight,
all teacherS should offer siecial pray
er, in private, for God's bleSsing up
on their work; especially in the con
version of their scholars to - Himself.
That the usual services of the day
should be varied, and. each school'
gathered for prayer, the Proceedings
being intersp : , rsed by suitable • ad
dresges.
That in VA , - evening -of the day the
eaehers-tur. , et for prayer, 'either be,; :
ore or after public worship.
That on 31ontlay, October 21, be-
tw eon seen and eight A. at., all teach . -
ers should agniil offer special prayer
in private for God's blessing upon
their work. _
That in the etnirso of the day the
female teachers of each school should
hold a prayer rh,eting:
That in the evening a special-pray
er meeting should be - - held, by every
church on behalf Lf the Sunday
school, suitable and stirring address
es being intermingled- _with the pray
ers.
Appropriate topics for supplication
and intercession win - preaent them
selves to all. Above everthing, .the
piayers - shonkl be frit- a • special out
pouring of the Holy Spirit, impart
ing tc'the scholars docility and seri
ousness; enkindling the deeper in
terest of the churches 'in the work;
and leading, as thehappy result, to
a large ingathering of the young in
to the fold of Christ.
It is intended to call upon teach
ers in every
. part of the world to'
blend their supplicaiions, : so that the
poet's thought may 'be realized inla
glorious sense, and -
"The whole round world be every way;
Boned with gold chains about the feet of god."

of the history And literature .of
America, are well known to our
readers, was. in early - life an appren
tice to a watchmaker- in the city of
Poughkeepsie. But so fond was _lie
of reading, that every spare moment
while at his day's work, was devoted
to
. the pages of Some.: volume, and
many were the -hours stolen- from
needed sleep to satisfy his craving'
after. knowledge. His first sight of
a history cl any kind-, was when he
was nearly fourteen years old, when
he.accidentally fcill in- with an odd
volume of Cifibboia's " Rome," and his
biographical 'reading at • 'that time
was- limited to the Bible and 'one
volume of Marshall's "-Life 'of Wash
ington." These books'probably - form
ecl the bent of his genius, which has
been almost entirely toward the tro
duction of historical volumes. As:
hapPy with the pencil as with the
pen, he has labored i with the two al:-
tereately, and has illustrated his
hooks largely from thelife.. To ~a th-\'

in old Maryland as the brightest that
are, to be seen in Naples. This sun,
here is very trying to the eyes, but
it is owing to the fact that the houses ••
are white, the streets are white, the
pavenients are white, and that even
the earth is white, all partaking of
the whitened lava of 'gold Vesuvius,

when the latter stepped - .to the

Now Brown, who was-more nlited
for his quielmess of temiier amtpro

manner, his ire was quickly aroused.
" Blast it!" he exclaimed, "-if 3 , 0 u
don't like the teeth, you, need not
take them, but there is no-nee ssity
for Owearing.so about it."
The astonished minister drew
back; . .
