In the silence and the darkness,
Darkness growing still more deep,
I listen to the little children
Praying God their souls to kee

And the mother's head droops low,
(One from out her fold is sleeping
Deep beneath the Winter's snow,)
"Take oar souls," and past the casement
Flits a . gleam of crystal light,
Like the trailing of His garments,
WalWng evermore in white.
Little souls that stand expectant
Listening at the gates of life,
Hearing far away the murmer

We who fight beneath the banners,
Meeting ranks of foemen there,
Find a deeper, broader meaning
in your simple vesper prayer.
When you hands grasp this standard,

AN ENGLISH STORY.
"Please, sit, will you buy my chest
, nuts ?"
"Chestnuts ? No," returned Ralph
Moore, looking carelessly down on the
upturned face, whose large brown eyes
shadowed by tangled curls of flaxen hair
were appealing so pitifully to his own.—
"NV hat do I want of chestnuts ?"
"But, please, sir, buy 'em pleaded
the little one, reasured by the rough
kindness of his tone. "Nobody seems to
care for them, and—and—."
She fairly burst into tears, and Moore,
who had been on the point of brushing
carelessly past her, stopped instinctive
ly.
"Are you very much in want of the
money ?"
"Indeed, sir, we are," sobbed
,the child;
"mother sent me out, and—"
"Nay, little one, don't cry in such a
heart broken way ;" said Ralph smooth
ing down her hair with careless gentle
ness. " I don't want your chestnuts, but
here's half-a-crown for you, if that will do
you any . gOod."
He did not stop to hear the delighted
incoherent thanks the child poured out
through a rainbow of smiles and tears
but strode on his way muttering between
his teeth, "That cuts off my supply of
cigars for the next week. I don't care;
though the brown-eyed object really did
cry .3is if she hadn't a friend in the world.
Haft it ! I wish I was rich enough to
help every poor creature Outof the,lough
of edspoud." .
While Ralph Moore was indulging in
these very natural .reflections, the dark
eyed little damsel whom he had comfort
ed was dashing down the street with
quick, elastic footsteps, utterly regardless
of the basket of unsold nuts, that still
dangled on her arm.
Down au obscure lane she darted be
tween ruinous rows of houses, and up a
narrow wooden staircase to a room where
a pale, neat-looking woman, with large
brown eyes like her own, was' sewing as
busily as if the breath' of her life depend
ed upon every stitch, and two little' ones
were contentedly playing in the sunshine
that temporarily supplied the place of
fire,
"Mary back already ? Surely you
'WAYNESBORO', FRANKLIN COUNTY, iPA 7 Aircrastair, No,yzman 10871.
have not,eold your chestnuts•so soon ?"
"0 I mother, mother, Seel" . ejaculated
the almost breathless child. "A gentle
man gave me a whole crown. Only thinks
mother a whole hall crown." ' ,
If Ralph Moore could only have seen
the rapture his half-crown gift diffused a
round it in the poor widow's poverty strick
en home, he• would have regarded.still
less the temporary privation of cigars to
which his generosity had subjected him.
* * * * * * *
Years came and went. The little
chestnut girl passed as entirely out of
Ralph Moore's memory as if her pleading
eyes had.never touched the soft part in his
heart: but Mary Lee never Thrgot_the_
stranger who had given her -the silver
half crown.

The crimson window curtains were

tempest of the bleak December night;
the fire was glowing cheerily in the well
filled grate, and a dinner table, in a glit
ter with cut glass, rare China and pol
ished silver, was only- waiting- for- the
presence of Mr. Audley,
"What can it be that detains papa?"
said Mrs. Acidly, a fair, handsome matron
of about thirty, as she glanced at the di

"There's a man with him in the study,
mamma, come on business," said Robert
- AutileyTa - prettrboy, eleven years - old
who was reading by the fire,
"I'll call him again," 'said Mrs. And
ley, stepping to the door.
But as she opened it the brilliant gas
light in the hall fell full on the face of
an humble
. looking man, in worn and
thread-bare garments, who was 'leaving
the house, while her husband stood in the
doomay.of his study, aliparPn

_ "And will you ?"
"I' don't know, Mary ; I must think a
bout it."
"Charles, give him the situation."
" Why my love ?"

"Because I ask it of you as a favor, and
you haw said a thousand times you
would Lit!VOr deny me anything."
-And I will 1:, , .2.1f my word, Mary,"

Dudley told her husband why she was
interrested in the fate of a man whom
she h-d not seen for twenty years.
"That's right, my little wife;" repliei
her husband, folding her tinnily to Pas
breast, when the simple tale was co , 'hi
ded. "Never fbrget one who was,kind to
you in the days when you needed kind
ness most."
Ralph Moore was sitting in his 'poor
ledging,s, beside his ailing wile's sick bed,
when a livered servant brought a, note
from the rich banker, Mr. Charles Aud
-lev. •
"Good news, Bertha," he exclaimed as
he read the brief words. We shall not
starv.. ; Mr. Audley promises me the sit
uation."
"You have dropped something from
the letter, Ralph," said Mrs Moore, point
ing to a slip of paper on the flore.
Moore stopped to recover the estray.—
It was a fifty pound note, neatly folded
in a piece of paper, on which was writ
ten; "In greatful remembrance of a
half-crown piece that a kind stranger be
stowed on a little chestnut girl over twen

Ralph Moore had thrown his morsal
of bread upon the waters, and after many
days it had returned to him.
"Let me sleep," said my companion half
pettishly, - turning from my touch. "Let
me sleep." The words haunted me for
hours afterwards. How often has the wish
been breathed in this weary wcrld, "Oh,
let me steel, l"
The man whose conscience' lashes him
for misdeeds, evils committed and, unre-'
pented cries, as he drops his head into his
thorny pilaw, "Oh, let me sleep." With
sleep comes oblivion. The mourner who
has seen some bright and beautiful one
fade from his embrace, like a summer , flow
er, nipped by an early frost, bows his head
above the pilid face of the prostrate term
below him, and sighs, in the agony of his
soul, "Let me sleep ; sleep with the loved
one whose smiles shall never welcome my
footsteps more." "Let me sleep, says the
traveler, who footsore and weary has t di
ed long in the world, and sees hopes per
ish unfulfilled, joys wither ere they are
tasted, frindship, which he thought endur
ing, changing hue like the chameleon, and
rainbow promises, fading and melting in
to colorless, air "Oh, let me sleep, ter I
am weary.'
The rosy-checked child, the blithe mai
den, the thoughtful matron, those for
whom life puts on its finest aspect, its
most enduring smiles, all have periods in
which they long•that the oblivion of Lethe
may flow darkly and deeply over ilea.
There cometh a sleep unto all—a slheo
deep, hushed and breathless. The roar of
a cannon, the deeptoned thunderbolt, the
shocks of au earthquake, or the rush of
ten thousand armies cannot break up the
still repose. With mute lips and folded
arms one after another the ephemas of
earth sink down- into darkness and noth
ingness. No intruding footsteps shall jar
upon their rest, no disturbing touch shall
wring from them the exclamation, "Oh,
let me sleep."
Let Me Sleer.
A Surprised Lady.
,
Th.e Williamsport Pa.; 'Eu/latfa says':
On Saturday . evening last'a young gentle
man of this city concluded that/he• would
attend church. He straightway vesented
himself at the door and was taken ,in
charge by a polite sexton, :who - showed
him into a seat beside a young person' of
the femeuine gender. This young person
was attired in a white gown—fresh from
the laundry—and guileless of spot or wrin
kle. With that instinctive neatness
in n to most of the fair sex, the young la
dy had spread out the skirt of her gown ,
as much as possible, to save it from the
rumples incident to a sitting posture. The
-young man on taking his seat did not at
first observe the display of drapery beside
him. After a while he east his eyes a
round. They, fell on the white . muslin,
and he felt himself growing red and white
. • .
shirt have escaped from its confinement
in his unmentionables His hand' trem
bled, but he surreptitiously laid hold of
the lady's property, lifted his coat, under
his pantaloons: The ladyc sitrpriSed at
this, to. Vaer o muaccountable manoever,
moved a little but said nothing. The
young gentleman again became interested
in the sermon, but glancing down lit the
seat a moment or two after, beheld to his
horror, what he supposed to be unman
ageable garment. With a convulsive ef
fort ha clutched it in his shaking hand,
aihd was
,endevoritlg to put it where it
'should; Have been, it it' had inus
lin, when the lady moved fiir enough a
way to take her skirt out of the reach of
the unhappy young man. With an ex
pression of countenance plainly depicted
the unutterable thyiughts wiLthin him, the
young man took up his hat and hurridly
left the sanctuary.
A Non-Conarnital Captain.
Captain Ward, of Portsmouth, was in li
eccentric of_the first water; and one of his
• • udiarities - was - that he never—gave—the
desired answer to a direct question. An
amusing instance of this evasive habit_is_
related. One morning, four of his friends,
who ware aware of this trait in his char
acter, observed the captain going to mar
ket, and, after some bantering, entered in
to a bet as to the "racticability of learn
ing from him the price he had paid for
his purchase. They accordingly settled
the preliminaries, and stationing them
selves at different points along a street
which he mustpass on his way home, a
waited his coming. Very soon the bluff
old gentleman made his appearance, with
several pigeons in his hand. As he ap
proached, the first questioner accosted him
with :
"Good morning, captain! What did
you give for pigeons this morning ?"
"Money," raid the captain, bluntly, as
he passed up the street. The second gen
eman, a little futher on, addressed him
an• 4 - ed :
"Ho.o pigeons this morning, captain?"
"They don't go at all ; I carry ''em !"
was the equally unsatisfactory reply,—
Shortly . after he met the third, who asked,
the time of day and inquired :
"How much are pigeons a doten; -cap
tain ?"
"Didn't get a dozen-ronly bought half
a dozen I" said the old gentleman, still
plodding on his way. Finally, the fourth
and last a f the conspirators cottoned to
the wary old salt by observing, in the blin
dest tones :
"A fine• lot of pigons you have here,
captain I Wnat did you get them for ?"
• "To eat," was the pertinent and em
phatic rejoinder, and the captain reached
home without further molestation.
A Strange Case:
A sad incident occurred, at Steuben
ville County Infirmary a few •'days ago,
resulting in a horrible death, the bury.
ing of Small lad named ,Murphy, aged
five years—a reel-footed child, who was
deserted by the mother to cloak her shame.
It appears that two other pauper children
named Philip Sheridan and Andy Stewart,
dug a large hole in the orchard adjoining
the infirmary. After effecting this part
of the diabolical act, the two little fiends,
whose ages, were respectively five and ten
years, repaired to the infirmary grounds
and caught the reel-footed boy, and 'car
ried him to his living grave. Shrieking;
Yet without power of being heard, the 'lit
tle victim was caught by the young exe
cutioners, and forced into the hole.—
Holding hint down they shoveled in the
earth and stone upon his 'writhing body,•
stifling his cries as best they could; until
the puor deformed body ceased to "strugle
and the spirit took its flight to Him who
gave it. The two young murderers' vent
back to the house without informiner b any
one of the deed, and the burned boys.ab
sence was first noticed by Mr. Porter, the
Superintendent, about one o'clock. Up
on making inquiries, a little black boy in
formed him that Andy Stuart and 'Phil.
Sheriden had "buried ‘l2impy' down in
the holler." On goinc , to the spot, Mr.
Porter found the newly made grave, and
below the surface the lifeless form 'of lit
tle `Litripy.' The little murderers have
been sent to the reformatory. This is•
one of the saddest incidents we have ever
had to'record.
MoNEv.—Men work for it, beg for it,
steal for it, starve for it, and' all the while
from the cradle to the grave, nature and
God are thundering in our ears the solemn
question: "What shall it profit a man if
he gain the whole world and lose his own
soul?" The madness for.money is the stron
gest and lowest of passions; it is the,Mcp
lock of the human heart before whose re
morseless alter all the finer attributes of
humanity are sacrificed. It makes mer
chandise of all that is , sacred in the hu
man affections, and ,often trafies in the'
awful solemnities tb the eternal.
Butter is ninety-fire cents per pound.
A Wonderful Balsam.
A manufactUrer and vender of quack
medicines fijr rheumatism` and the growth .
of hair combined, recently *rote to a
'friend'for a recommendation of his (the
manufactiirer's) "balsafn." In a few days
he received the following ; which we , call
pretty strong: -
• Dear &•K:---The land 'composing this
farm has hitherto.- beervso poor' that - a
Chinaman could; not get a., living . off, lt,
and so stony that we had to slice our po
tatoes,- and. plant them edgeways ;- but,
bearing ok*your balsam,, ,I put some no
the - corner of a ten-acre field surrounded
by a rail fence, and in the morning' I
found the stales had disappeared
and a neat wall encircled the field ; the
rails ., were split' up into firewood, and pil
ed up symmetricalltin my backyaid. 'I
put half an ounce in the middle of a huck
leberry. swatnp; two days saw it clear off,
planted with corn and pumpkins, - arid a
row of peach trees in full blossom through
.the middle. As an evidenc%of its tre
mendous strength, I would say that •it
drew a striking likeness of my Son out
of a mill-pond, drew a blister all over his
stomach, drew a load • of potatoes four
miles to market, drew W grease out Ora. flint,
and eventually ! drew a prise of ninety-sev
en dollars out'of a defangt lottery."
A certain old Vermont farmer /re
served his constant good nature, let what
would turn up,4, Oue, , day one of his alien
came in banging the news that one of his
oxen was dead.
"Is he," said the . old man..
"Well, he was Always a breech) , cuss!
Take his hide..off and take. it down to
Fletcher's it will fetch the cash."
An hour or so afterward the man came
back with the: news that Lineback and
te_were_tiothAlead.
"Are they'?" said the old man.
"Well, 'I took them of B. to"sirire a bad
debt that I nerer expected to get. It _is
lucky it aip't /LAI • • .
After the lapse of another hour the
man came again to tell him that the nigh
brindle was dead:
"Is he?' said the old man. .
"Well, he was 'a. very. old ox. , Takooff
his hide and take it down to Fletcher's;,
it's worth cash, and Will' bring more than
any two of the others." •
Hereupon his wife, who was a very, pi
ous soul, reprinianded . ber hushing severe
ly, and asked hini if he was not aware
that the loss was a judgment from heaven
upon him for his. wickedness, •
_ "It is r 'said the the ,old man.
"Well, if they will•talie the jUdgmeUt,
in cattle it is the;Thiaest way I can pay
it." .
- • Ugliness of Otrrion Women.'
A late writer says : Nothhig ifnpresseii
as more in . Sall Lake city than 'the honie
liness of women:. -IV may to ungal-,
laut to mention it ; but, *as every, one
that goes there - thinks - it, here goes .the
statement of the fact:' Now, homeliness
of feature is not a disadvantage. • There
is a hauclsome• ugliness and a,pious, heme-.
Thiess ; but, with these Mormon women it
is a vicious, outrageouiuncomeliness,
'dicative of moral disfiguremeit: The'Tah-`
ernaele was alive with them. They ,Made
us shudder: It is "assault and 'battery"
to have them look at you..- What arig
ham or any otherman would want,ofsev
enteen such preatures I cannot imagine.—
One of them, I should think would lie a
great horror.' Sueh - dislocations 'of noses
and misplacements of • mouth, and- ruins
of eyebrows, areaotgathered.inany.other
place on this continent..,. There must be
a good many witches among them. We
.would not have been much: surprised x:1
see them riding home on a broomstick.--=
The only excuse that we can see for poly
gar* is that it would take at least fifty
such women to make one wife. .
MY LIFE A VAPOM—How beautifully
descriptive of life's short, fitful dream • is
the followiug from the pen "of Dr. Chal
mere : •
"The time in which I live is but a small
moment-of - this *world's. history. It is 'a
flight of a shadow ; it is a dream of vani-.
ty ; it is the rapid glance of a meteor ;. it
is a flower which every, breath of heaven
can wither into decay ; it is a tale Which
he ieniemberance vanishes; it -is' -a day
the silence of a long. night -will darken ,
and overShado4 In a few ycars ourheads
will be laid. in the cold grave, and the,
green turf cover us. The children who
,come after us will treat upon our graves;
they will weep for ;us a few , days ; they
will talk of us foi: a feed Years; 'when our
memory shall disappear- from the titre of
the earth ; and not a tongue shall be:found
to recall it." •
Um WIFE. —lt is astonishing -to see.
how well amen may live on a small _in
come Ayho has a 'handy and industrious
wife. Some men live and make a far bet=
ter appearance six or eight dollars a
week than othe7l7 on sixteen or eighteen
dollars. The man floes his part well, but
his wife is good fbr nothing. She will'even
upbraid her husband for not living in as
good style as his neighbor, while the fault
is entirely her own. His neighbor, has a
neat, capable and industrious wife, and
that makes the difference. :His wife, on
the other hand, is a whirlpool into, which
a great many silver cups might be thrown,
and the appearance of the water - Would,
not be changed. ' No Nicholas the Diver
is there to restore the treasure. It is -on
ly an insult for_ such a woman to . talk to
her husband about her love and devotion.
Let not an injury or an insult corrode
in your bosom, for, so doing,.you increase
the injury by your oUrn act.: •
