When the sun sinks to rest
On his couch in the West,
And the moon bathes the earth in her beams;
When the stars twinkle bright
On the bosom of night,
When theangelsare whispcringinourdreams.
Oh! Angels! sweet Angels! from .that happy
place.
Ye tell us of the love
And the hnrmony above,
Where we'll never know a sigh or a tear.
In the tempest and strife
Of the buttle of life,
When the spirit is shorn of its might;
They hover by our side,
In our visions they glide,
And nerve us anew for the fight.
On! Angels! sweet Angels! guard us in the
strife;
The spirit grows frail,
And its light flickers pale.
In the gloom and the darkness of life !
Ah! sad is this earth
From the hour of our birth,
And" heavy ere the burdens we bear;
But oh! there's a balm
Our troubled souls to calm,
Fuwc know that the Angels are near!
Oh! Angels! sweet Angels! ye tell of a clime
Where skies never gloom,
-But the flowers always bloom
In the long sweet summer time !
Like the airy plumed dove,
God's own type of love,
Oh! had we the pinions to fly I
But our souls yet remain
In their cold earthly chain,
And we sigh for the freedom of thesky!
Oh! Angels! sweet Angels! when will ye come!
We are fainting for breath
In the shadow of Death
Oh! guide us poor wand'rers home!

Turning Over a New Leaf.
BY MRS. CAROLINEE. SOLE.
"Well," yawned Mr. Grey, as the clock
struck six the last Sunday in the year.
"I suppose its time to get up but some
how I don't feel much like it this morn
ing." '0, lie still and take your comfort,"
muttered his wife, drawing the bed clothes
i yet closer around her; "there's no hurry

"Just so you said last (Sunday, wife, and
yet you know you were in a hurry all the
day long. Suppose we turn over a new
leaf to-day, and get up at once."
"I'd rather turn and take a new nap

himself and dozed, another hour. Tho
clock struck seven.
"There, wife, wife we must get up now
at any rate. We shall be late again, just
as we were last Sunday."
"Well, get up. then, if you want to. I
do wish I could take a little comfort. Get
up! I get up every other day. Strange
a body can't take comfort once a week.
"Well, well, sleep away then," said her
husband, rather crossly as he slammed to
the door, "but it's anything but comfort
you'll take when you do get up. IVc

For more than half an hour did Mrs.
Grey continue in bed, striving in vain by
the indulgence of "a little more sleep and
a little more slumber," to still the quarrel
between habit and conscience. Longer
would she have tarried, but for a crash
in the children's room and a medley of
reproaches, sobs and lamentations.
"What for mercy's sake have they done
now?" exclaimed she, as hurriedly put
ting on her clothes she ran to the spot
whence issued the tumult. "I don't be
lieve there's another such a set of young
ones in the world. What have you been
about here," she said to the little ones,
four in number, who were looking pitiful
ly at the wreck of the Sunday's pastime.
The sight that greeted her was not cal
culated to compose her troubled mind, or
sooth her reproaching heart. The chil
dren accustomed to being up, dressed,
and having their breakfast before seven,
on the six days of the week, could not, in- i
deed knew not, how to remain quietty in
' their beds until near eight o'clock. In-
' deed, they always calculated on a good
j Sunday mornings, which good time meant
j sundry revolutions in the bed, not unlike
pranks of a young colt; wrapping up the
blankets to represent Indians and squaws;
rolling up quilts in mammoth babies, and
to conclude a game of ball, in which the
pillows flew right merrily. All had gone
i on as equal; till one "unfortunate" missed
the mark, and the ewer tumbled on the
I floor in ruins, its contents mingling with :
j shoes, stockings, rumpled sheets, and
, quilts, and giving new chills to the-little
: red feet anxiously paddling the wet car-
i net to save here and there a frarment,

to carry on so on Sunday morning," said

long on Sunday, 'cause my grandmother
gets up real early then and we have a
real nice time all day. I always loved to
have Sunday come when I was in tbc
country, but these city Sundays aint a bit
good."
"Well," said Frank in his particular
slow emphatic tone, "I mean to ask fath
er to move in the country then, for if we
must have Sundays, we might just as well
have good Sundays."
"Well, just at present move into the
kitchen, the whole troop of you," cried
tho mother, now hurried enough in sepa-
rating wet and dry clothes, the words of
the boys coming to her excited feelings,
like anything rather than oil on troubled
waters.

of your Sunday's roast? We can't make

and
indeed it was a golden age
Then in the vile contrast came up the
Sundays of the last two or three years,
and then spake conscience in a terrible
voice, and uttered the cause; and tears hot
and many rolled down her cheeks. The
only day of the week which her husband
could spend with his family was despoiled
comfort by herself; she was bringing her of
children up to dread and hate even the
day sacred to worship and home's purest
joy; she was learning herself to look up-
on it as a day of trial, a day of toil
and why? Because mostly of a "little
more sleep and a little more slumber."
No words passed between husband and
wife till they rose ta retire. Then taking
.her hand he said, half seriously, half jo-

"We'll try," was tho brief answer, in a
voice choked with emotion.
And she did try! Let us see the result.
It is a beauteous Sunday morning, a
Umile upon heaven and earth, and a smile

discharged his little debts, and set for

of railroads with the firmness of one
inured to long" continued marches under

sociations which make up tho sum of

determined -resolution. Not so the son.
In that grove, and by the babbling brook,
he and his dog had gambolled through
many a verdant holiday. In that dear
old cabin, often had he beguiled the win
ter evening by listening to bis father's
legends -of the war, or put up his prayers
at his departed mother's knee. To all
these affecting reminiscences he was now
bidding an everlasting farewell. Beyond
them, everything was a blank. Tears
flowed from his young eyes as he turned
away forever from the cottage of his na
tivity on the battle-ground of Monmouth.
Painfully they traveled Westward, un
til they reached the nearest branch of
the Allegheny, on which they embarked,
but poorly supplied with provisions for
the voyage, for long travel on the road

days of hardship and exposure on the
river, they made their little boat fast to a
tree that overhung the river side. The
mansion of a thriving plan tor lay in fuil
view before them, and thitherward they
directed their steps. Evening had al
ready cast its lengthened shadows over
the landscape, and a cold and comfort
less. November . night was fast settling
down upon them. Avoiding the main
entrance to the building, which was tight

veteran knocked timidly at the kitchen, J

Impressions at First Sigiii.
This subject, at the supper table, was
getting 'talked over when the lady who
presided 'o'er the cups and tea,' said
'she always formed an idea of a person
at first sight; and that idea she found was
generally a correct one.'
'Mamma,' said her youngest son, in i
shrill voice, that attracted the attention
of all present.
'Well, my dear,' said the fond mother,
'what do you want?'
'I want to know,' said young America,
'what you thought ichen you first sciiv
me?1
There was no answer to this query;but
we learn a general titter prevailed, and
that 'Charlie' was taken into the kitchen
immediately by the servant.
EF"The young woman that was lost in
thought, after wandering in her own
mind, found herself at last in her lover's
arms.'
At the breaking of ground for the
commencement of the Lynchburg and
Tennessee llailroad at Lynchburg, a cler
gyman present commenced slowly and
solemnly to read a manuscript prayer.
At the conclusion, an old negro man, who
had been resting with one foot on hi3
spade, and his arms on the handle, look
ing intently in the chaplain's face,straight
ening himself up, remarked audibly,
'Well, I reckon dat's de fust time de Lord
has ever been written to on de subject ob
