A BIBIE-STCRY I0R MOTHERS.
BY X. P. WILLIS.
RACHEL. (Genesis, xxviii. to xxx.)
'Twas sunset in the land whore Eden was
Ha ran, the fertile in the limes ofuld.
And now the flocks, from far off field and hill,
Home followed to the fold at Lnban's well ;
And, when for them the stone wasrolled away,
They drank, and Jacob numbered them. For
such
As of its life had well fulfilled a day,
The sunset seemed the giving of it joy
Joy for the horu'd cattle with their calves;
Joy for tho coals with kids, the sheep with
lambs;
Joy for the birds, that tilted on their nests,
Singing till twilight should enfold their voting
And, from the lowly lint bevond the well,
Uose-tlm sweet laughter of the t-hepuerd's
batieV
And Zipahs son, and Billah's, on the clean
Smooth floor between the household's circling
tents,
Played with the children of the unloved Leah.
Bit, in the shadow of the tallest palm.
There stood, a. tent, jip-irL TV uutranpled
Told of no frolic feet familiar there;
And silence reigned within its guarded room;
And, by the half-drawn curlain of the door,
Sale one who felt her life too orowful
To let the greeting of the sunset in
For, on the herds that watered at the well,
And on the children that played joyous by,
And on the flowers, and bird.-, und laden
trees
"Each lacking nought of life that was its own
How could she look and feel she was of them
Rachel the ckildlcss I
'Twas another eve ;
And other summers had on Huran smiled
An eve of golden glory, that, again,
' Found Jacob with his flocks at Laban's well.
And now uncovered, as at prayer he stood,
And looked where glowed the I3ethcl of his
dretun;
For, mVt lie' glory of lthal Western sky,
He taw again the ladder rise to Heaven,
And the ascending and descending troop
That ministered to him w ho stood above
The place none other than the house of God
There.wbere he poured the oil upon the stone, '
As he came East from Canaan. And. as wont,
In the devoutness ofihat evening hour,
He recognised the covenant fulfilled:
For he had food, and raiment to put on
His cattle and hi flocks in peace were there
A Fod still with him who increased his store,
And kept him in the way. that he should go,
And who the holy promise would fulfil,
Dearest to Jacob in thai straner land.
To bring him to his father's house once more.
Thus-prayed he, w ith the setting of the sun,
But oh, there was another gift from God,
And far more precious, tho' unnamed with
these;
Whose joy had waited not the sunset's glow
To kindle it to prayer, but whose fond fire
Burned a thanksgiving incense all the day:
She whom he loved had borne to him a child.
Aud to the tent that stood beneath the palm
The tent apart, that was so shut and lone
The glory of the evening entered now ;
The Bilken cord drawn eagerly and far
"That the BtwrV greeting should.be all let in
The rosy record of a day fiulfilled
Being the mirror of a mother's joy
For, on the floor, rejoicing in its light,
Lay the boy habe of Bachel- She, of all
The daughters of tthe land most fair to see
Most loved, and so most needing to bestow
A jewel from her heart on whom she loved
She who of woman was reproached to be
Barren tho' beautiful and thus unblest,
Refusing to be.comfoited behold !
God had remembered her !

FUOM REAL LIFE.
Reader, you have probably seen many
noble-lookiug men, hut never one more
so than Charles Fraukly. His looks did
not belie Lim, for he was all he seemed
to te. lie was the sou of an honon-d and
retired merchant, that dwelt far up in the
upper part of the town, away from the
bum of business and tbu cares of business
life. His business he had given up to
Charles, who carried it on with much en
ergy and tact that it could be but thri
ving and prosperous, and
bid fair, ere

to becoiLC the best
Metropolis.
Many were the temptations which dai
ly beset the path of Charles Frankly; yet
he passed through them with a character
untdomishfd aud without a pot to mar
the treat uanie he bore. Many a proud
belle bowed low before him aud sought
to win bis smile, but 'twas all iu-vain, for
he saw through the thin u.auze that screen
ed them, aud scorned tbcm the more for
wearing it.
A beautiful bride his father had chosen
for hnu; gay, dashing and brilliant; they
callrd ht r Isabella Leroy. Yet, he fan
cied sOJictimcs that a false robe shroud
ed her, too.
WTalkiug .-lowly up the steps of the Le-
r0y uiausious was a scemin-'ly old mau
It wa Chaales Frankly, thus disguised
to see through the ijauze that others wore.
Ringirig the bell, he was answered by I-.-'
abella in per-on. with but one look at his
old tattered ganm-uts and outstretched
palm, she said, "Begone, sir,' aud shut
the door in his face. With a curse upon
his lips, he walk"d away.
Eveuing came; the mansion of James
Leorp was brightly lighted, aud all was
gaiety and mirth within. Yet there was
oue that joined not the gay throug; in her
room she sat pale aud tremtliDg, holding
in her baud a crumpled note; again the
read.s it over to see that there is no possi
ble mi-take:
Miss Leiioy. I cannot attend your
party. 1 was the poor old that ntood be
fore you this morning; you remember
your words to me)1
Charles Frankly.
P. S. It would have beeu better for you
and me had you bceu a friend to the poor.

"Lost! lost!"' she paid to herself.
i "Gone forever! But who cares?" And,
' suddenly springing up with a forced mile
''she entered thp presence of her company.
Not long ofter, Chai l s Frankly brought !
to hi- city house a truly lovely auf trans
- cendeutly
beautiful briee. With her
w hole soul
she loved her noble husband.
aud that love was fervently returned.
"Please, good sir, do come and see my
poor mother, .-be is so sick," said a little
girl one dark aud di-mal night looking
r up into Charles Fraukly's face.
Ten years bad changed somewhat the
i . . c . . . . .
j appearauce of Charles Frankly, yet that
I bright, shiuing smile still lightened up
bis countenance. Through him the dis
tressed found comfort, aud the poor food
j and raiment. The poor aud rich alike
, honored him.
i "Did you say youruiothcr was very
sick?" asked he, taking the little hand af-
fectionately.
"Yes, sir," she answered, timidly.
'WTell then," said he, "we will -stop
and get a doctor." t - .
So; pressing the street," and' ringing a
door be)), he was answered by a man
I ..with, a light. ' '
"Come with me, doctor, if you please,"
said brunkly.

Horse meat Suasages Again.
Our Philadelphia friends who have

will be gratified to learn that the manu
facturer and vender of the same have
been fairly quartered for the uext eigh

to reflect upon the mode of imposing ou
them. The Evening Journal says, in its
Court proceedings :
"Among the oases finally disposed of
was that of Joseph Hoffmauand William
Dunn, convicted of the sale of "pony sau
sages. " Judge Allison, after some whole
some remarks, Kenteuced tbe defendants
each to eighteen mouths imprisonment.
"When the case was beard by Alder
man Enue, Hoffman stated by meant of
an interpreter that he was ou ployed by
Dunn to sell the sausages, but he did not
know of what meat thoy were made. If
he spoke truly in this his convictiou and

fenced in about twenty acres, planted itj

' "compelled to live on boiled greens and
weeds sometimes a little brau or shorts.
Iu this way he rubbed aloug until bar-
vest. His children were now all taken
sick with tbe measles, and he him-elf
prostrated with the typhoid fever. For
two weeks there. was little hopes of bis re-
coverp. and he was persuaded to give hia
two oldest daughter- to a neighbor, who
promised to take care of them. They
would not receive the children, however,
until deeds of gift were given to them.
He wasnow left alone, with one small
sick child, aud had it not been for the
kindness of a poor neighbor, he would
have perished froui. Jiunger and neglect;

was determined to escape from the valley,
but was yet unable, on account of health
and means to accomplish hi.- purpo-c. -He
returned to his bouse, t ut was too un
well to cook his own victual-, aud an old
Scotch woman came aud mixed up a lit

saye, "a k olid as ever you saw bricks,
and had to get a hatchet to cut it to pie-

On this and two quarts of buttermilk,

his wife wai not dead, as was told him,
but a prisoner closely guarded. He con
trived means for her escape, and hid her
at tbe hou-e of a friend until be could
niako arrangements for leaving. By tra
ding off his farm for a wagon and two
mule4s, the means were procured for con
veying hi? family out of the Territory.
He first endeavored to eseape by travel

of Brigham's minions, who staled them

A Word to Little Boys.
'Who is respected ? It is the I oy who
conducts himself well, who is honest, dili
gent and obedient in all things. It is the
bov who is makimr an eflort continually
to re-p-ct his father and mother, aud o-
beys theai in whatever they direct him to
do. It is tbe bov who is kind to other
littlb boys, who respect age, and who nev
er gets iuto quarrels and difficulties with
his companions. It is the boy who leaves
no effort, untried to improve himself in
knowledge and wisdom every day; who
is busy and active in eudeavoriug to do
good acts toward others. Show us a boy
who has re-p ct for old age and who al-
ways has a friendly disposition, and who
applies himself diligently to get wisdom,
and do good acts towards by every person,
mere is no -urn inmg as irum uuo tue

you will be respect d by others, and will

Lieut. Iiaury has written n Icfterjsayj
ing that the-general impression tbVt Ariz
zoua (The Gad-ten Purehase)i a worth
less and barren country, is entirely erro
neous. The universal testimony of trav
elers, of ofil"ers of the army, and the
; Boundary Commis-ioncrs, establishes the
fact that more than half of the purchase
is the finest grazing country in the world;
while the rapid stttleme.nt, within a short
time, of the central valley of Arizona, and
tbe abundant crops of the past Fcason,
are an earnest of their fertility and fti'
ture promise. Of its mineral wealth ho'
entertain- ai exalted idea-, and believes"
that the developments of its, silver mines'
will effect as great a change in the -com-
mercc of the world as the gold of Califor-i

Thon.p-on s Detector quotes the bills of
the Honesdale Bank as uo Bale. That is"
hi cause Thompson, Morse & Co., tried to
Blaek-mail the Bauk, and did not succeed!
in the operation.
This shows how much dependence ought
to be placed on Bank note Lists, used by
brokers. They arc got up to swindle bilF
holders. Many a shrewd STew York
merchant has beeu -haved tweuty-five per
cent, on Honesdale money m consequence"
