KINGS OF TILE SOIL
Black sins may nestle below a crest,
And crime below a crown ;
As good hearts beat 'neath a fustian rest.
As under a silken gown.
Shall tales be told of the chiefs who sold
The sinews to climb and kill,
And never a word he snug or heard
Of the men who reap and till ?
I bow in thanks to the sturdy throng
Who greet the young morn with toil;
And the burdens I give my earnest cing
Shall be this—The Kings of the boil!
Then sing for the kings who have no crown
But the bins sky o'er their head;
Never Sultan or Pey had such power as they,
To withhold or'to bn ad!
PivUul ships may hold both silver and gold,
The stealth 01 a distant strand;
But ships would rot, and lie rained not,
Were there none to till the hind.
The wildest Muth and the wildest brake
. • .
Aro rich as Um richer[ fleet, .
For they gladden the wild birds when they wake
And give them food to eat;
And with willing hand, and spade, and plow,
The gladdening hour shall come,
When that which is railed the "waste land"now
Shall ring with the "Harvest Iltime."
Then sing tar the Kings who have mi crown
But the blue sky o'er their bead:—
Neither Sultan or Dey has such power as they ..
To withhold or to offer bread.
I value him whose toot can tread
By the corn his band bath sown;
When be hears the stitmf the yellow reed,
It is more than tuusie's tone.
There arc people's sounds that stir the grain,
When its golden stalks shoot up.
Voices that tell how a world of men
Shall daily dine anti sup.
Then shame, nit , shame on the miser erred
Wbich holds hack praise or pay
From men whose hands make rich the land—
For who tarn it more than they?
Then sing for the kings who have no crown
But the blue sky u'er their head ;
Neither Sultan or Dey had such power as they
To withhold or to oiler bread.
The poet bath gladden'd with song the past,
And still sweetly he strikellt the tiring,
But a hrighteLlight on hint is cast
Who can pito. , as well as sing.

Ile could nut pass a lady on the street
witln.ut making himself ridienlons in
trying to avoid her ; and to be obliged to
sit opposite one at the ta!,le overwhelm e d
him with confusion. If requested to pass
a certain article of food, he was sure to
pass the wrong one, and, in his mortifica
tion, would cap the c'imax by upsetting
his coffee upon himself or his neighbors.
The only time that Nathaniel was ever
known to involuntarily present himself
in ladies' company was on th e oche a ,i a ,
of a picnie.goi ten up by the ladies of the
village : but when he arrived at the scene
of festiviths, and found himself sur
rounded by such an array of female love
limas, his courage forsook him, undotrmd
the jeers at his comrades, he ran home
for dear life.
A ieapegrace by the name of Tom Job , .
son, a character famous for playing tricks
upon everbody, conceived the idea of
"getting a good one" upon Nathaniel.
A young married lady by the name of
Mrs. Lane, whose husband was tempora-
rily absent on business in a foriegn coun
try, had lately taken up her residence in
the village. Having learned this much,
Toni sought Nathaniel, and, in a very
earnest and confidential manner, said to
him :
"Nat, rye got something very impor
tant to tell you—the best piece of news
you ever heard, warrant,"
"What is it ?" inquired Nathaniel, ea
gerly.
"Well," began Tom, lowering his voice
almost to a whisper, and assuminga most
earnest expression of confidence, "you
have seen this Miss Lane that has lately
moved into the village ?"
" Yes," replied Nathaniel, " and a
mighty fine looking young woman she is,
too."
"That's so," said Tom ; " and what do
you think—she has taken a great fancy to
you, Nat.
"Pshaw, "exclaimed Nathaniel.
"Fact," declared Tom. "She was talk
ing with my sister Agnes about you yes
terday, and when she heard so good a re
port of yor,ind that your only failing was
being so she of women. she said she wish
ed she could get acquainted with you.
but she supposed that would be. impossi
ble. She said she bad made up her mind
that if she ever married it would be to
some respectable, honest man in the
a ountry, for she had become disgusted
sith the deceit and heaftlessness of city
men; It's clear enough that she came
here for no other purpose than to pick np
some good, honest fellow like you."
"If I only thought you were in earnest.
Tom." said Nathan ie . ), after a moment's
pause, and in an animated manner; "but
I'm afraid your'o paying orie of your
tricks upon me." •
"Nut," replied Tem,.wittrn offended
air, "I'm telling you the truth.. Plenty
of high born ladies have the same notions
about matrimony as Mias Lane has; ther's

Nathaniel accepted the intitnlinn. and
dropped into the proircied chair with a
fluttering heart.
"Nice day," he ventured to remark in
a husky tone.
"A beautiful day," replied Mrs.. Lane,
with a cordial vigor which made him
start..
" Nice wen ther to ride out—and see the
crops—and things," stammered Nathan
iel. after a long " a-hem ing" and
hitching uneasily in his seat.
"Yes, indtion," said Mrs. Lane, rinzzled
at her visitor's strange manner, and curi
ous to know what. he could be driving at..
Another painful pause ensued. Na
thaniel looked at the lady, then at the
llonr, then at the ceiling; his face turned
all colors, arid his muscleaawitt lied ner
vously. Its felt that be lot undertaken
the most stnpetplous and trying fiat of
hts life. All his' zormer mis,:ons dwin
dled into nothingness compared wit
this. Its wished he ass at home! But
the lady was anxiously awaiting his pleas
e. and he made a desperate effort.

me that you have spoken of me in a fa
'4..orable kind of %ray, and advised MC to
dome sod s.e you, Will you marry me:?'
It is strange how susceptible of sudden
charge is one's temper, nud especially a
woman's! Mrs. Lane, not dreaming of
such a termination of affairs, was astoun
ded. and very properly, highly indignant,
-What du you mean, sir, by insulting
me, a married womau, in this way ?" She
exclaimed; leave my house immediately!"
and she or n^d the door to accelerate her

hip seat and stood trembling from head to
foot, and in his fright and confusion he
bolted out of the door, leaving his hat
behind him.
Ou board the tram that left the vil
lage of M. that evening, there might have
been seen, in one corner of the car, a woe
begone man holding with one hand a
huge carpet, bag upon his knee, while
with the other He now and then wiped
his lace with his pocket handkerchief.
This individual was no other than poor
Nathaniel Wilson, who, filled with grief
and mortification at his ridiculous per
formance of that afternoon, had hastily
gotten together his worldly all, and was
flying from the scene of his disgrace.
But “all's well that ends well ;" and
never had the proverb a more striking
illustration titan in the cruel hoax of
which Nathaniel Wilson had been made
the victim. But a few days had elapsed
atter Mrs. Lane's interview with Nathan
iel, when the lade received news of the
I death of her husband, which occurred
several weeks previously in the distant
country whither lie had gone. In the
meantime the heartless joke that had
been played upon Nathaniel had come to
the ears of Mrs. Lane, and with it so fa
vorable a mention of Nathaniel's moral
standing in the community, that the la
dy In her goodness of heart, wrote to Na
thaniel a letter of-regret for the injury
she had innocently done him, and assur
ing him of the respect with which she
had come to regard him.
The missive received from the over•
joyed Nathaniel a propt response. A cor
respondence was established and -contin
ued between'-the two so' ludicrously
brought together, and in little more than
a year after his departure, Nathaniel re
turned home to consummate in marriage
the courtship so inauspiciously begun.
His short experience among strangers
had wrought a wonderful change in him;
. the awkward, bashful fellow had indeed
"made a man of himself," and none- are
more highly esteemed in the village of M.
than Mr. and rd. "

married and be a man."
"It won't Ulu fellow to call on a wo•
man, even if lie does get the alip," said
Nathaniel in a state of high excitement.
"Of course it won't," replied Tom, and
again exhorting 'Nathaniel to lose no time
in securing so rich a prize, hi departed.
Poor Nathaniel was in a pitiable state
of anxiety and uncertainty, But love,
the great conqueror,- soon decided his
COUISe,
"I'll go and see her !" he exclaimed.
"Ira man ain't a man at twenty six years
old, when is he going to be I"
And the next hour saw Nathaniel Wil
son, the moat bashful man in all the
country round, attired in his hest suit,
and nearly frightened to death, standing
on the doorstep of Mrs. Lane's dwelling.
With a trembling hand he gave the MI
convulsive pull. Thecall was answered
by the object of his adoration herself.
`Good morning,”Nathaniel managed to
artictilate, elilivions of the fact that it
is throe hours past noon.

HOW TILE DEACON WAS SOLD
never shall. have you ettledst
wiee in tan prevent it. A city dandy like
him indeed ! I'd just as leif ou'd mar
ry Dan Meeker, the idiot, as to become
the wife of that popinjay."
And Deacon Merriman delibenitely
tipprd his chair against the side of the
house, or rather against the sink-room
door—a habit that was a favorite with
him—and seemed to regard the case as
settled.
Little began to cry a little,then thought
better of it, and, drying her eyes, grew
rapidly indignant.
"lie isn't a popinjay I" she said ; "he's
as good as anybody, and a deal better
than Peter Bridge, if you did but know
it."
Peter Bridge was her father's favorite,a
shady, nail.tu-do young tarmer, though
people did say he was a trifle passimon
ions.
-Well, I don't know it. and nobody
else don't know it either," he cried un
grily. - Peter Bridge is a king to him,
and has rot four times as much money;to
' say nothing of the old Bridge farm, that
is worth time thousand if it's worth a dol
-1 lar. I tell ye, Letty, a gal could do much
worse than to marry Peter Bridge."
"And much better, I hope," said Lefty.
"At any rate I shall try, for I won't wile
my :slippers on Peter Bridge."
"Well, as I said before, you never shall
marry Russ Ilardinge." snapped Deacon
Merriman grimly, "so that's the end on't.
And if you won't hale Peter, why you
can be an old maid, I suppose."
"I shall not do either. I nave promised
already to be Ross llardinge's wife, and
have no intention of breaking my word
—so there !" And then, astonished at her
own temerity, Letty burst into tears.
The deacon sat silent a moment. In
all his life long he had never encountered
spii it quite so rebelious as this.
"I never !" he cried, and in his dismay
endeatored ro again the perpendicular.
But his chair was tilted back so far that
it n gnired some exertion to do this and,
giving a sprinr,the door amainst which he
r
wax eating new open. an d ' Lover he went
amongst the pots and kettles, and down
came a pail of dirty water upon his de
vonid head.
We are afraid the deacon made use of
expresxians that woald be wicked even
for it sinner to ii*ter. Ile rattled around
some time before he succeeded in getting
opt it his feet. am] when the difficult ope
rtaon accomplished, his features rtj
seintiled that of an Indian chief with the!

"'Dish up!" he exclaim id," it's a I

"But T am eighteen," cried Letty,turn•
mg as red as a peony.
•"1 don't care if yon are eighty-one!
No daughter of mine shall marry a fool,
and he is a fool if ever there was one."
The deacon was asgood ae his word in
regard to the lock. fie had one put on
the door of her room, and Lettv became
n prisoner. Then lie told Ross iiardnige
that he shou!d never have Lettir.
"Why not ?" asked Ross, quite coolly.
shall marry an Idiot."
Ross smiled.
"Look here, old gentleman, if you
wasn't 'to he my father in law, I'd make
you ail pardon fur that little speech. As
it is. I impeose hate to consider upon
it instead."
"And if I wasn't a deacon, I'd teach
you better things you puppy !"
And with that the deacon hurried away
to the blacksmith's shop for the iron bars
to be placed over Letty s windows."
"A fool, am I?" mutterers koss iTar
dinge, after he was gone. "We'll sklld
gentleman ; the case is by no means t e
eidetl. Perhaps there are - bigger fools in
this world than I, and one of them may
be a deacon. I like Lab?, and she likes
me, and I'm not going to give her up
without a strnggle of some kind."
So he sat down and wrote this quixot
ic letter ;
"l7enri' TOM—You once said that you
would oblige me by giving me halt of
your fortune, if I would accept it. I told
you I would accept the will for the deed
(for I knew it was nothing but foolish
enthusiasm in you to offer to pay me for
dragging, you out of the river, but now,
if you will simuly,tratiefer the whole of
your bank stock to my credit for a few
days, it would be a great accoraniodation.
I pledge you my word that I will return
every cent of it within a month."
And then he signed„ it, and sealed it,
and sent it away to the postnffice. Three
days later he walked into the office of
Squire 'llerriman,f e dean brotheroind
told him he wished to obtain his advice.
"In what respect ?" demanded the
squire.
"The investment of money. My prop
erty is mostly in bank stock, and I wish
to invest a portion in something else.
What would you advise ?'
"I would prefer to see your certificates
of stock as is preliminary," dryly observed
the squire.'
Out came pocket books and memoran
dums, and sufficient stock was accounted
for to amount to thirty thousand dollars.
The deacon's brother began to rub his
eyes.
"By .Tovel" he said to himself—he
wan't a :deacon, you,know—"if ho has got
us much money as that, old Reuben is
making .a fool of himself. I'll put a flea
in his ear forthwith."
Then. turning to Rois, he added aloud:
"I'l out it in real estate."
Ross handed him ten dollars, and left
the office. 'And .beforo night Deacon
Merriman was posted.
Off came the leek and key and the iron
bars, Int;iug never been pnt on, were
stowed away with other old rubbish in a
burry.
The next day RCM ventured to call,
and the warm reception he met was a
great surprise to Lett}, who never had
known her father to relent before. She
held her peace, however, and did not al
lude to it after he was gone.
•
•
Her father did.
"I've ehanged my mind,Letty," hesaid.
"I've heard something about Ross Har
dinge that has convinced me be is not so
bad as I thought him. Young people
will be young people, and if you wish to
marry him, forget what I have said."
But he did not tell her what he had
heard.
Of course, the deacon's objections re.
moved, it was all smooth water, and Ross
drove his wooing su furiously, that in
three weeks they were married.
Then her liiitiand explained his arti•
flee to her, fearing that she had been de
ceived, but her father had never told her
what had changed his sentiments. And
instead of blaming him. she kissed him,
and called him a dear, nice fellow.
In a week the deacon began to talk
hank stock.
"It don't trouble me," said Ross, with a
laugh.
"It don't trouble you 1 Haven't yon
thirty thousand dollars invested in bank
stock ?" thundered his tither-in-law.
"No, sir—not thirty cents."
The deacon said something that dea
cons are not supposed to ntter.
"What has become of that wealth you
showed my brother ?" he asked.
"o,that was borrowed for the occasion,'
said Ross quietly. "I returned it as soon
as I had accomplished my purpose. Yon
called me a fool once, and I vowed to be
even with you, as I rather think I am."
If the deacon prayed mcre fervently
that night than usual, it was because he
had a terrible struggle with old Adam
within him.
After all. Ross Hardinge did not make
a bad son-in-law. Arid when be got to
own hail Cedardale, the deacon forgave
him entirely.
An Editor In heaven
—o--
Such is the caption of an article which
has been going the rounds of the papers
fur a time, and which appears to be some
thing new "nniler the sun." Just as if
editors were not in the habit of going to
heaven. We'll venture to say that a
greater proportion of them go to the home
of those who have performed their m 8:
sion of mercy on earth, than any oilier
profession or calling the poor mortals fill.
"An editor in Heaven." There's nothing
strange about it at all. ft's almost a
morel as well as professional impossibili
ty for them to go anywhere else. Once
upon a time after the demise of a mem
ber of the corps editorial, he presented
himself at the gates of the "Golden City"
and requested admission. The door keep
er asked him what had been his occupa
tion while on Terra Firma ? He replied
he was an editor.
Well, said the watchman, wo have a
crowd of of your kind here now and they
all came in as "dead heads." If you pay
your passage you can come in, if not, von
must place yourself tinder the control of
a personage you ruled tvranioilly down
below, meaning the devil.
Not having the wherewith to go in,
nor brother of the quill and scissors pos
ted off and 'presented himself at the en
trance of Clootle's dark domains. A very
ilxrk complexioned gentleman stood
slrntry, and asked in a gruff voice, who
comes.
An humble disciple of Faust, was the
calm reply.
Then hold on you can't be admitted,
exclaimed the gentleman in black, evin
cing considerable agitation, and fiercely
scowling upon him.
Why not? aemanded the typo, who be
gau to get somewhat huffish and looked
around for a sheep's foot with which to
force an entrance,
Well, replied his sable majesty, we let
one of yonr profession in here many years
ago, and he kept up a continual row with
his former delinquint subscribers, and as
we have more of that class of persona
hero thah any othei, we have passed a
law prohibiting the admission of editors,
quly those who have advanced our inter
est in their paper on earth, and them
we keep in a separate room by themselves.
You have published many things ope
rating against ns, and always blamed the
Devil with everything thai went wrong,
so von can't come in. We enforce this
rule without respect to persons for our
own safety. Now tmveL.
Casting a leer at the outside sentinel.
our typographical friend started off again,
determined to get above. This time he
took an old file of his paper and present
ing it to the guardian of the Celestial
City, requesting that he might be care
fully examined, and they could see if he
was entitled to a free ticket, in duo course
of time the conductor came along and
took him in, telling him that he had been
a martyr to the cause of human improve
ment, and that resolutions bad been piss
ed to admit all members of the "art pre
servative" who bad abused the Devil
while below.
He addtd that as they were punished
enough there by being with the Devil, all
their future punishment is commuted.
Ile further stated that not onedelinquent
newspaper subscriber could be found in
Heaven.

The blessed days of spring are here,
The happy golden hours:
The birds are singing In the trees,
The woods are full of flowers,
The mayflower from her mossy couch
Lifts up her dewy bead,
And sweet wild violets round my path
Their delicate odor shod.
The alder swings her aniern fringe,
Above the shining rill,
And the milk white tassels of the ash
With balm the zephyrs fill.
The wild-rose buds are swelling now,
For summer to unfold,
While cowslips daintily unbind
Their tresses of pale gold.

Every living being r•s rest and sleep. A

of sleep." This painful mode of death is car

falling asleep night or day." About the eighth
day 'the suffering Is intense and the prisoner
implores the authorities to end his sufferings by
any other mode of death.
Sleep is necessary to repair the waste that is
constantly going on In the system during the
waking hours. Prof. Hammond says, "the
bocy is undergoing continual chance. The
hair 'of yesterday is not the hair of today; the
muscle which extends the arm is not identically
the same muscle. after as before the action old
material has been removed and new has been
deposited to an equal extent, and though the
weight and form, t h e chemical constitution and'
histological character have been preserved, the
identity has been lost." This constant change
goesum, mostly during activity, and only sleep
can repair the waste. A person of active hub
its requires about eight hours sleep. After the
contraction and dilatation of the auricles and
' ventidcles of the heart, there is an interval dur
ing which the organ Is at rest, which amounts
to cnte-fourth of the time requisite to make one
pulsation and begin another. During six honra
of die twenty-four the heart is Ina state of rest.

And so it is, oven to a greater extent, with oth

time to rest. But for the brain thou Ls no rest
except during sleep.
Ong-third of our lives is passed In sleep; and
it is accessary to use this time to the best of ad
vantage, for our lives are short at best. As we
can economize time and strength by knowing
when to sleep, I propose to lay down% few well
