IiTut long since wo were the tjuect of a
(rank, open-faced, generous man. The
white hair had found a home with him.
Once he was a poor, laboring man as aro
you and us. lie toiled manfully and
lived within his means. lie saved his
earnings, not as a miser eaves, but to
beautify and make pleasant the heme
where he 1sokcdf)r happiness. Little

self du'vn by side of v.-tek ia the grave
of time. StiP ho toiled, saved, was hap.
py and made others happy arouud him.
Looks, paintings, music, luxury, and hap
piness are the fruit v.l.ieh the tree cf so
berness and economy bears.
And there wore othcis who be.tn life
fititii him of whom we wtile. Chances
were the same, but others spent their
uights and their earnings ia useless dis
sipation while he saved. Their homes
are still uncarpcted and pictureless.
Their faces are old and wrinkled, and
their steps toileting. Tho huuiu ones
have no happiness, home has few comforts

wonderful meaning. No money brings
so large an iutercst. Speak kindly to
those under your roof. Care for them as
they will for you. Leave your business
behind you hang un your hat draw a
chair close beside her y.rj love place
one hand in hers, take a book and read
the hour away, or tu!k over the incidents
of the great voyage as becomes those
0; the great voyage
who are dear to eaeh Qlhcr and whoso iu-1
tcrcsU aro the same. Tl.or.i nr.. not
many more Saturday nights for either of
us, but there is a home in the laad of
the real where there aro no weeks, aud
from whence we can look back to the
timo or chances we neglect or improve
here iu the dressing room for eternity.
Heaven is as near or far, the ladder it
short or long, and each Saturday night is
a round in the mystic ladder for us who
are toiling upwards to rest make new
resolves for good speak kind words aud
plant acts of kindness which will bloom
over our grave and bless the lives of those
we love after we have gone where there
is no Saturday Xight.
HOW TROYIDENCE 13 SLANDERED.
Take, for an example, a ycuog girl who
lips been bred delicately iu town, ihut her
up iu her childhood iu a hoarding school
through her youth never accustomed to
cither air or exercise, two things that the
law of God makes essential to health.
She mariics her strength is inadequate
to the demands upon it. Her beauty
fades early, aud Ler fiitnds LtmentbIy
exclaim :
''What a strange Providence, that a
mother should be taken in the midat of
life, iVom her children '."
Was it Providence ? Providence had
assigucd her three score years aud ten
a term long enough to rear her children,
rsrwr ..Mum imianjn
bho did not obey the laws on which life
depends, end, of coarse, 6he lost it. "
A father, too, is cat off in the'mfdst of
his days. lie is a useful and distingui.sh-
jed citizen and eminent in Lis profession,
i A general buzz rises on every. 6idc of
What a strikinp- Providence !" The man
has been in the habit of studying half the
uight, of passing his days in his office and
in the courts, of eating luxurious dinners,
and drinking wines. He has eery day
I violated the laws on which health depends,
j Did Providence cut him off? Tha evil
I rarely ends here. The diseases cf the
fathers arc often transmitted, and a feeble
mother rarely leaves behind her vigorous
children.
It has been customary for some of our
young ladies to walk iu thin tshoes and
d'ilicato stockings iu mid-winter. A
healthy, blooming young girl, thus dress
ed in violation of heaven's law, pays the
penalty, a cheeked circulation, cold, fever
and death. "What a sad Providence '."
exclaim her friends. Was it Providence,
or her own folly ?
A beautiful young bride goes night af
ter uiglit to parties made iu honor of her
marriage. She has a slightly sore throat,
perhaps, and the weather is inclement ;
but she must wear her neck and arms
hare, for who ever saw a bride in a close
evening dress? She ia suddenly seized
with it.3auiation of the iuttg?, and the
grave receives her before the bridal day
is over.
"What a Providence I" exclaims the
world, "cut off ia the niid.-t of happiness
and hope I" Alas ! did sho not cut off
the thread of life herself?
A girl in the country, exposed to our
changeful climate, gets a new bonnet in
stead of getting a new garment. A rheu
ma'ism is tho consecjuenee. Should this
girl sit down tranquilly with the idea that
Providence has sent tho rheumatism upon
her, or Ehould she charge it to her own
vanity, and avoid the folly ia future ?

incurred by intemperance in eating or
driukiug, or in study, or in business; by
neglect of escrcite, cleanliness and pure
air, by indiscreet dressing, tight lacing,
etc., fpuietly imputed to Providence. It
is the opinion of those who best under
stand the physical system, that this won
derful machine, the body, this good tem
ple, should gradually decay, and men die,
as few now diu, as if falling asleep.
A CUKE FOR SLANDER.
A lady sends us the following recipe
fur the cure of that troublesome disease
of the mouth called slander. Like a good
many patent medicines, if it docs co good
it may do no harm :
"Take an ounce of good nature, one
ounce of an herb called mind your busi
ness, mix this with a little charity for
others, add two or threo sprigs of keep-your-tongue-bctween
your teeth ; L-imuiet
them in a vessel called circumspection for
a short time, nnd it will bo fit for use.
Application : the symptoms are a violent
itehins iu the tonguo and roof of the
mouth, which invariably takes place when
vnn am in r- i-nrianv with .1 suc-eh nf an
imals called gossips. When you feel a fit
of it coming on, take a teaspconful of the
mixture, hold it in your mouth, which
you will keep closely shut until you get
homo, and you will bo completely cured.
Should you apprehend a relapse, keep a
small bottle full about you, and on the
slightest symptoms repeat the dose."
THE FOURTH 0? JULY AND THE SOUTH.
If the Into rebels have become loyal to
the Government of the United States,
and tlevotcd to the Union, why did they
not. celebrate the Fourth of July as of
old ? That day is the birth day of the
nation one peculiarly appropriate to be
celebrated by all who really have any na
tional love and pride. Put, throughout
the whole. South, with tho exception of
the ever-faithful, ever coctemncd colored
citizens, the late national anniversary was
almost entirely unobserved. This fact
speaks volumes. Its true explanation ia
to be found in the character of the great
doctrines cf tho Declaration cf Indepen
dence, which are the foundation of the
Union, and which it was the express woik
of the rebellion to discard. Mr. Ste
phens openly afiiraicd iu his great :;cor
ncr stone speccu. uai uo tne reo-oio
think of putting superior political power
into the hands of the reboks who are not
yet sunicieutly reconstructed to celebrate
the Po urth of July ?
WHOLE NUMBER 1005.
A LITTLE OFFICE OF TRUST-
"What shall I do with Joo Smith ?"
said Jirs. L. to herself, as she dismissed
her school for tho night. ,:I have ex
hausted every expedient ; he will whisper,
and smile, and bewitch the boys general
ly. There I have it ! I'll givo him a
responsibility. Ifo has Self-esteem, Ap
probativcnpjs, pnd a fair conscience, I aia
sure. I think he'll bo honest I'll risk
it at all events."
The next day the lady happened by a
little calculation to meet the boy iu a con
venient place.
"Joseph," said she, "do you know
where I live?"
'I guess so ; it's in South street, i.-a't
it ?"
"Vcs, Xo. 225; you know that is a
good way from the post-office, and my
mails are a great trouble to me ; I really
need a penny poiit ; how would you like
to be one ?"
"Pirst-rate," said Joseph, t;but," ho
added, glancing down upon himself, as if
his clothes were a diawback to promotion.
"Oh, your coat will do very well," said
Mrs. L , "I oa!y want a bey 1 can trust."
Joseph straightened up and looked ev
ery inch a man four feet nine inches high.
She might trust him to be sure she
might.
"And I will give you a penny for every
letter you 2nl in Pcx 134."
Mrs. L. had no difficulty after this m
cettiag her letters in early season, bul
Joseph scorned tj take the penuies.
Strange what effect a little eonCdcnco
had in tho school room ! It fr.rly ntada
Joe over. He cou'J go ia and out quiet
ly, sit still in his shair, and mind Lis bu
siness like a man. He was as good a boy
as ever need bo fur a shob term, and then
ho was promoted to a higher department.
Xo child always suspected, or unap
proved, or disliked, however he m:y do
sorvo it, will ever bceomo good. No
better heart will ever be persuaded, or
driven, or woa to its duty. It is human
nearness, and warmth, aud sympathy that
the wayward want ; and it often takes but
a trifle to save as well as to ruiu a little
transgressor.
A child's waywardness is very often not
so much a wicked spirit as it is an outlet
of the restlessness of childhood ; and it
is mrtny times cuicd by diverting a tho't
or giving occupation to an unemployed
i'lcultv. A whole term cf discomfort and
disadvantage was prevented by giving
Joseph a little office tf trust ; he waj
proud of the service, and his gallantry
made him, both for his teacher's sake and
his OTrn, ambitious of good behavior as a
pupil.
There is seldom a child too bad to be
ia a great measure controlled in theschcol
rona by a little wit added to a great deal
of kindness. Some sentiment of love,
honor, ambition, or conscience, if skill
fully p'ayed upon, will in nearly every cafe
effect all that a sterner punishment eould
hope to accomplish.
A BOY STRUCK BLIND FJR BLVSl'IIEJIY.
The Drighton (England) Ohfi.ro r re
lates a case where tho vengeance of tho
Almighty was visited oa a youth named
ILichards. The youth was thirteen 3-cau
cf age, and had beca pl-jing for sumo
time with his companions, whea a dispute
aroso between them as to the "notches"
Pilchards had scored. Ho declared that
he had made raoro than twenty, and his
opponents protested that lie had not made
so many. High words aud bad language
were freely used oa Loth hides. LacLt
boy accused tho other of falsehood, and
at length Pilchards, failing to convince
his companions of the tinthfu'ue.-ti of bis
statement, flow into a rage and emphttti
caily shouted, "May God strike me blind
ii I haven't made more than twenty."
lie Lad scarcely uttered tho at.'juratiou
before he let the "dog" fall out cf hL
hands, and, throwing up his arms, tx.
claimed, "Oh ! dear, I cannot tee." His
companions ran to him, and Sliding wha5
he said was true, af his request led him
home, where, on examination, it was found
that a thick fdra had overspread each of
Ilia eyes. In this miserable condition tho
unhappy youth has remained ever since,
and we are informed that there is iitdc or
no prospect of his sight being restored.
