THE VOICE OF LOVE-
BY ISAAC F. S II EPA It D.
Oh I nerer speak with angry tone
To one within this erring world ;
Let no vindictive look be shown,
Nor be thy lip with passion curled ;
For man at best is frail as dust,
And God alone is truly just.
Speak kindly to the little child.
Lest from his heart you drive away
The light of love whose visions mild
Are opening like the dawn of day ;
Force not one cloud across the heaven,
A God of loTe to him hath given.
Speak kindly to each fallen one,
Nor harshiy judge his sinful deed ;
There lives no soul beneath the sun
Tha!uoes not of compassion need;
Our race is erring at the best,
And judgment is not thy behest.
lie kind to all, and thus fulfil
The first great duty here below ;
Let wonts or love our heans distil,
To mitigate thy brother's woe ;
For though in pride and guilt he swells,
His heart its own deep anguish tells.

THE OLD SOLDIER.
"Kan here, girls, juiek ! Just look at
this awful old wan, with his wooden leg
and white beard," said Mary Norton, as
she stood on the cross-bar of the feuce
enclosing the tcboul Louse grounds.
''Come quick, for Le stumps along pretty
fast. It is Mathu?alah come back agaiu,
I reckon," added the witty but irrevercut
girl. ''Let us go out aud have some fun
with the old man."
A general rush followed this announce
ment ; but at the siijht of the aged vet
eran, there was not the shout of merri
ment that .Mary had expected Some
laughed a little, at first; but with most
ef them, curiosity gave place to a fjuiet
awe ; aud on one sweet face, there was an
expression of affectionate reverence, which
couid nut be mistaken. One word from
Nellie Mati.-field at that momeDt, would
have called forth from many of those
young hearts an expression of the feelings
which e&histed iu her own.
"Why don't you laugh ?" said Mary.
"1 do not see anything to make fun of,"
said Nellie. "I cannot laugh at white
hairs. They remind u:e of dear grand
papa." As she brushed away a tear that
gathered in Ler dark eyes, the gir!s invol
untarily drew nearer to her, and shrunk
away from their more boisterous compan
ion, j
15y this time, the old soldier for sueh
he proved to bo had advanced aloug the
retired road that skirted t'ie play-ground,
and was directly opposite the gates. The
girls a'l flocked out iuto the road, and
stood silently gazing at him.
He stopped aud leaned ajainst a tree
wearily. "Well, children, you have come
out to see an old man ; and lie is a queer
looking object, isn't he ?" His voice was
kiudly in its tone, and even Mary Norton
forgot that she bad intended to make
sport of his iufiniKilics.
"You seem (o be very tired, Sir," said
Nellie Mansfield. "There are some bench
es in the grounds. Will you come in and
rest yourself ?''
''Thank you, my child ; you arc very
thoughtful. I am tired, for 1 have walk
ed a long distance." As he approached
the gate, the children instinctively drew
back. "Don't be afraid," be said, "I love
children too well to harm them, but age
and infirmity are not pleasant to the eye.
I remember well when I felt as you. do
now."(r
"We aro not afraid," said one or two,
drawing near to him, and regretting that
they had wounded him.
"No, sir, we are not at all afraid," said
Nellie, "and here is a seat for you."
As he sat down he drew a long breath,,
and said cheerfully, ''You sec, my dear,
that I have not only niy wooden leg, but
the weight of almost eighjy years to carry.
It is a heavy burden but God wills it
and it is a long time to be in this world."
"Yes. sir," said Nellie, "and the day is
very warm."
"But the warm sun comes gratefully to
the aged," he replied. "Thank God, we
can see that, and feel it too. His sun
shine3 for dl. Blessed be bis name !"
He lifted his bat reverently, and his eye
involuntarily glanced upward.
The act drew Nellie at once to his side.
"Tba is tfce way- dear grandpapa. tlwajWiEod bless you, children !" Bent them
peaks of r," eho thought;'1" $ Wpi-t fiw-fbrfcavios terun to d
1 wonder why younger people do not
love Him so?" She sat down oa the
bench beside him. "Can we do anything
for you, sir V
"A glass of water, if you please, my
child."
Half a dozen at once ran to bring it;
and Nellie, from her lunch lasket, took a
piece of cake which he gratefully receiv
ed. "So you are not af'rjid of . such an
ugly old fellow, after all," he said, smil
ing, and looking rouud upon the group.
"Oh, no, sir," came from many voices.
"Well, the leg went in a good cause,
children. So I will not complain; and
its loss saved the life of a comrade."
. "Please tell us about it, sir," aud the
children drew closer around him.
"I lost it in the war of 1S12. I sup
pose you have read about that in history.
But war to the readers, and war to the
actors in it, are two very different thiugs,
X we Bcarina, kl m y4iy cuiurt f.lcw,
when I lost my leg on the deck of 'the
f.i-ate Constitution,' but I've n.t been
od for much since. I was removing a
wouuded friend from an exposed positidwlt
when the ball came. I was glad that I
saved him, for he had a wife and children,
and I had none then. 1 had a right to a
pension, but I never applied for it."
"Why not. sir '!" said several of the
girls at once, with sympathy in their tones.
"Well, I lived far b-ek in the country,
and had no friends in Washington. So,
as long as I could labor, 1 managed to
support myself and to lay by enough fur
my few remaining years. I have one
comfort in my old age. God has given
me a daughter. Blessed be His name."
Seated ia the shadow of the school
house, the old soldier seemed comfortable
and happy, and his young auditors listened
to him with attention and revereucc.
After pat taking of the refreshments of
fered hiui, ho said, "Well, children, you
are all young now, but if you live lung
enough, aire with its infirmities will come,
and then you will know how gratifying it
is to receive such kindness, as you have
shown me to day. Ouee in a while I go
Dut to enjoy the air and sunshine; and
they have enticed uie farther than I have
walked Jur a year before. I am now
awhile from home, and when I reached
this r,ate, I was wishing that seats by the
road.-ide had been provided for travelers.
But I am keepiug you too long from your
pl.iy, or your studies," aud he made an at
te:i pt to rise.
Half a dozeu voices exclaimed at once,
"Oh, no, sir, sit still, our recess lasts a
whole hour, and we do not care to play
now."
"You aro good children," he said, "and
very different from those who mocked the
prophet Elisha. You have read that
storp in the Bible 1"
Some of theai remembered it, others
did not.
"Let mo tell you then. Elisha, the
jrophct, the servant of God, was on his
way to Bethel, when children came out of
the city and mocked him, saying, 'Go up,
thou bald head ! Go itp, thou bald head."
Then the prophet turned back, and cursed
them ia the name of the Lord. And
God, in order to punish them, sent two
bears out of the'wood, and they tore in
pek.es forty and two of them. So He
matiifestea His anger against them. But
He will bless you all, I am sure, for your
kindness to the aged."
As she listened to his cotnmendation,
Mary Norton shrank back into the crowd,
mortified and self condemned for having
ridiculed his infirmities. He left them,
refreshed and gratified. Thai nightNellie
Mansfield lay down upon her pillow, hap
pier 1'ar than Mury Norton, at the retro
spect of thetday ; but Mary was ansious
to atoae for the rust, aud she did not rest
till she had discovered the home of the
veteran. She was among the first who
visited Lim there, aud front time to time
the school girls cheered his declining days
by carryiag to him flowers from the woods,
or some little delicacy procured for him
from their homes. But Nellie Mansfield
went farther than all. She told the story
to her father, who applied to the I'ensioa
Agent at Washington, and the sum which
was found due to the old soldier ot 1812
was sufficient to make a little fortune fui
his declining years, and to enable him
amply to provide for the devoted daughter
he was to leave behind

worthy poeple were fearing that hia zeal
was without knowledge or wisdom.
One of his first measures was to open
a school io a remote part of the pari.h,
and get the room licensed for a week-day
preaching. But all the drunkard rose
against such unheard of proceedings
They wquld run after him, cursing, hoot
ing, and discharging volleys of sods aed
o:her misales. Fiuding remonstrance in
vain, be adopted another course on the
Wednesday evening in the'week bcfjre I
heard the story. Making a stand in the
middle of the road at the entrance to the

ing the savages in the face, he addressed
tbeni thus, iu a firm, quiet voice, which
commanded their affcntion :

throwing his coat aside, he-added :
"I am in earnest send your man."
The ruffians put their heads together
and then a burly giant s'epped forth and
made a furious dash at his reverend chal
lenger, who quietly parried the unskillful
blows, and played with them for a few
seconds. But then a fist was planted in
the peasant's chest, and he lay, at full
length on the ground. Quietly gathering
himself up, however, he skulked away
and joined his companions.
"Now s?ud your next best, and I'll go
through the lot of you."
Again their heads, drew together, and an
other drew down his jacket, going to work
however with a more cautious euerjry.
But at once a stomacker stretched him
on the road.
"Your next !"
Once more a conglomerate of dense
pates was formed.
"Bill, thee teck him." Bill eyed the
hero askance and shook his head.
"Thee, Jim." A shake of the head
from Jim also.
"Dick, the'll take the parson ?" A
shake more decided and stiff. "Nay, nay,
I see thee hung fust."
And now the Erst one who wai van
quished stood forward, and, like a brfve
man, called out ;
"I say, parson, yo'r a rare young un,
you are. l'se tell thee what, we'er going
to hear you preach."
And they all followed him along the
little street, said the writer, and heard
the word quietly, adding, it remains to be
seen what will become of the fiirht.
What did come of it? I heard a long
time nfterward that fiom that day the
men doffed their hats, women courtsied,
and children looked awe stricken when
they met or passed him, that the beer
houses were nearly all shut up, and that
a great moral aud religious reformation
was in progress. That gentlcutoa had
previously been the instrument of like
changes in equally demoralized, parishes.

Melancholy Case A Troy paper
states that a few weeks since a well knewu
gentleman living in Mechauiesville lost
an only daughter a beautiful, educated
and accomplished, young lady. She was
the pride and glory of the father's heart.
His auguish was of that character which
refused all comfort and consolation. Bu
riLg the coldest nights he would often
leave his home, go to her grave and lie
down upon the lrczen clods that covered
her remains, uttering the wildest and most
heart-reuding lamentations over the tomb
of his darling. In this way he spent
many nights, when not forced or kindly
entreated home by the other members of
the household. The father's grief was
too intense for human endurance. Grad
ually the strong frame began to show
signs of decay the mind to give evidence
of growiug weakness. Three or four days
since, this disconsolate mourner died
literally died of a broken heart.
