TUB VilDO W'S LAST I'M A 1KR.
A. eye nngry, ye winds?
Or why blow so wild ?
Cease, cease your loud raging,
Thin clad is my shiM j
And our hut here so lonely,
Is leaky and o'd ;
Blow softly, blow gently,
Or she'll die with the co'd.
Oh ! why are ye'angry.
Y'e winds, with my dove ?
She's pure as the snowflake
That falls fram above !
And she loved you, when warmly
Y'e blew o'er the world ;
Blow softly, blow gently,
Or she'll die with the cold !
0 God! listen to me
Heed, heed my prayer ;
She's all I have left, me .
Oh, spare her ! oh, spare !
Or it Thou wilt her,
That hour, do I pray,
Free my sorrow-bowed soul
From its fetters of clay.
She's dying ! The cold winds
Still pitiless blow
Through the old leaky hovel,
And pile high the snow;
They care not for sorrow
They shruik not from death ;
But wilder they blow
O're tho dark, fircss "hearth.
She's dead ! closely locked
In the widow's embrace,
With band clasped in hand,
And face close to face.
The niether and child
Have gone upward to God;
And, together, thtir bodies
Will rest 'ncath the sod.
Blow on, then, ye winds!
i'e can chill them no more
Blow wildly, and bold,
Through the old hovel dour;
Y"e may howl ye may shrieic,
Y'e may freeze with your coid;
But the mother and babe
Are safe in Christ's fold '.

illE GRAVE ITOX THE BILL.
I saw it but a day or two ago a plain
white stone, carved over with a name and
date, that stands on the brow of a green
and sunny bill, nnt a stone's throw from the
comfortable farm bouse where the tenant cl
that grave once resided, and where his wile
and son still rcmaiucd.
It was the lonely wife who pointed it
out to uie, as we leaned together, in the
calm Sabbath evening twilight, over the
gate of the little churchyard.
'Ho died suddenly,' she said, with a ten
der glance at the white handstone. "lie
was taken from ns by accident, and all in
a moment, as I tuny say. One hour he
left the house as well as you and I a?e
now ; and before another bad gone
by they brought him in and laid him down
before me oh, so pale, so changed, and
suffering so terribly, that I may truly say I
was glad when his last breath was drawn !
Yes, dearly as I loved hitu, and long as we
had lived happily together, I was glad to
close his eyes, and know that he was out of
misery and pain, aud safe in a better world
than this."
"And do you like to see tho grave so
uear you so near your own home ?" I
asked.
''Why not?" she answered, with her sad
yet cheerful smile.
If it had been my husband, 1 never
could have looked upon bib grave. I should
wish to put the earth aud seas between me
and such a sorrow as speedily as possible.
I doubt if I could beir it with any degree
of resignation, where it wa3 brought so con
stanely before uiy miudas this uiu&t be be
fore yours."
"Ah ! I thought so once ; but it was iu
(he days when I knew uot the mercy and
loving. kindness oi the hand t hut struck the
blow," the said geutly. "I am wiser uow,
aud I can see even the gain of suffering, as
you may ouo day live to do. It does not
pain or grieve me now to look at this white
stone. I think no longer of the moulder
ing dust beneath it. I muse rather over
theglories of the ransomed tant in heaven,
of which this marblo seems to me an cu
during type and sign. There, as you sec,
is the place that is kept ior me beside him,
I shall lie there before many years have
passed over my bead who shall say how
soon ? And my only prayer is, that my
boy may look on my grave with the same
cal'ui happiness that I feel as I look upon
that of his dear father now. If I was sure
1 that this would indeed be so, I believe the
bittcrucss of death would entirely be past
for me."
'Yill that prayer ol hers for her only 6on
be answered ? Who can say?
But surely her thought is a gentle and a
tender one ; and thus, if we were wiso' and
brave enough should we all learn to thiuk
of our beloved dead. So might we, per
haps, iu tho end, If to us all it was given ta
mourn openly and before all men for that
which wo have loved aud lost. Rut the
dark ways of life are m&ny j tlio darker se
crcts of tho human heart arc not a few.
Reader, have you never mourned a loss
within your secret heart on which, with the
gaze of .the world regarding you, you have
been obliged to look with dry aud appa
rently indifferent eyes? With your whole
lifo ruined and wasted beyond the hope or
power of redemption by the Iosj of one frail
and erring human creature like yourself,
have you never been obliged to show that
life to the world, still lull of purpose still
alive and eager with ambitious plans?
Ah, these arc the losses that wring the
heart most deeply ! These are the graves
that hold, beneath their daisied turf, tho
'sorrow's crown of sorrow j" that make tho
world a desert to u-i lorcvcr after those un
wept graves are closed ?
Happy those who have never mourned
iu secret beside such mausoleums ! Ilap.
py those whose dead tha world may know,
who are mourned openly, tenderly and loy
ally, like the sleeper iu the grave upou the
hill!
Lettlu fom the Neouo Printer who
Worked with Brick Po.mkroy.
Tallmadge, Jan. 1.
To the Editor of the Cleveland Herald.
In a late issue of your paper, you say
that Brick l'omeroy has said Miat he once
woiked at a case alongside of a negro priu.
tcr, and says he is proud of the fact. You
then say, "now let us heir fcjm the dink
ey. '
Wei, sir, I am the very darkey whom
Buck worked alongside of, and if ho is
proud of it, I must say that urn not ; on
the contrary, I am aJiamcd of it. Brick
was good enough iu his way, but if he
could not have that, even the devil was no
match for him. Please remind Brick that
he owes me 82.70, borrowed money, at
that, aud if he is proud of any one thing,
perhaps he may be proud to say I owe no
negro. Who knows? If he ever gets in
that frme of mind, he will find me at TalN
mage, Summit county, Ohio. I am now
rather crippled up, but my Heavenly Fath
er knows that I w ould starve before I would
s'arve before . I would agaiu work at a ca'se
alongside of Brick l'omeroy. Very Jle-
pectlully, Noah Pickett.
Stoop a Little. The following story
related by Br. Frnkliu iu a letter to Dr.
Marther, has been often told, aud is well
worth telling agaiu :
"The last time I saw your father," says
Dr. Frauklio, "was in 1724. Iu taking
my leave he showed me a short way out of
the house, through a narrow passage, which
was crossed by a beam ovlihead. We
were still talking as I withdrew, he accom
panying me behiud and as turned toward
him, he said hastily : Stoop ! Stoop !" I
did not understand him till I felt my head
hit against the beam. He was a man who
never missed an occasion of giving instruc.
tion, and upon this he sat upon me. "You
arc young aud have the world before you ;
stoop little as you go along through it,
aud you will avoid many hard thumps!"
This advice thus beat iuto niy heal,has lre
quently been of use to moj and I often
think of it when I see prido mortified and
misfortune brought upon people by carry
iujj their heads too high."
Dr. David Livinotone.. The foreign
mails bring later intelligence of the salety
of this celebrated traveller. The ?ecrctary
of the Central African Mission, under date
ol January 5th, has written a letter to the
Loudon newspapers of tho following effect
"Bishop Tozer, writiutr from the Mission
House, Zanzibar, under data October 25,
1800, Bays; "I spoke a few days siuce w'th
an Arab trader, who informed mo thut ho
had seen Dr. Livingstone four months be
foro at Uj'gi." This brings us to July. Up
to that time, thercforo, he had not .been
eaten by the cannibals to whom he alluded
in his last letter.
A miserable specimen of a male- man
says that giving the ballot to woman would
uot amount to much, for noue ot them
would admit that they were old enough to
vote untill they were too old. to take any
interest in politics.
MURDERER ARRESTED.
Tho muadercrof Dr. Meade has been ar.
rested. A young man by the name of
Nichlos, who has been on tho police force
at Buffalo, was arrested for the crime, aud
the following is his confession : "I am sor.
ry I am in this position, but it is 'oo late
now. If they had not found the watch I
should have been safe ; but the evidence is
too strong and I suppose I shall be hung.
When I left Olean I had no intention of
doing any thing of the kind. As I passed
Dr. Meade's ollico I saw the doctor, aud
made up my mind to get his money. I
wont in and sat down, asked tho doctor to
loan mo two dollars to go to Duukirk ; he
declined fo loan mo any money, and 1 wait
ed an opportuui'.y and grabbed him with
tho intention of taking it from him. The
doctor was too strong for me, and got mo
down. We had a severe souffle, and the
doctor got up and went aud locked the door
and locked ma in. I thought he was going
to get a gun to guard mo, for the doctor
keeps a gun, and he's an awful tempered
man when he gets mad, I seized a small
shovel by the stove and hit him over the
head two or three times, and the store key
fell from his hand and I dou't know but I
struck him oneo er. twice after that. I then
took his watch and the money, unlocked
the door after me, and started, for Oleau.
McKean Jl'n.r.
An "Awful" Story. There was onco
an awful little girl who had an awful way of
saying "awful" to everything. She lived
in au awful house, in an awful street iu au
nwful'villago, which was an awful distance
from tv. ry othe- a fu" iluc3. She went to an
awful school, whe.e she had an awfuUeach
cr, who gave her awful lessons out of awful
books. Every day she was so awful hun
gry that she ate an awful amount of food,
so that she looked awful healthy. Her
hat was awful small, and her feet were
awful largo. She wont to an awful church.
and her minister wa3 an awful p.reacher.
When she took an awful walk she climbed
awful hills, and when she got awful tired
she sat down underu awlul treo to rest
herself. In summer she found the weather
awful hot, and in winter awful cold. When
it didu't rain thcro was awful drought, and
when the awful drought was over there was
an awful rain. So this awful girl was all
the time in an awful state, and if she don't
get over saying "awful" about everything,
I am afraul she will, by and by, come to an
awful .end.
Doctor and Laiy. "Doctor," said an
old lady to her family physician, "kin you
tell me how it is that some folks is born
dumb ?" "Why, hem ! certainly, madam,"
replied tho doctor. "It is owing to tho
