God’s unseen angel o’er our pathway crost, Looked on us all, and loving them the most, Straightway relieved them from life's weary load. They are notlo£t ,* they aro-witbin the door That shuts out loss. And every beautiful thing, With angels bright, and loved ones gone before. In their Redeemer’s presence evermore, And God himself their Lord, and Judge, and King. And this vre call a t( loss.” 0 selfish, sorrow ' Of selfish hearts I owe of little faith ! Let us look round, some argument to borrow, Why we in patience should await tho morrow, That surely must succeed this night of death. Aye, look upon this dreary desert path, The thorns und thistles wherespe'crwe turn ; What trials aijcl what tears, what wrongs and wrath, What struggles and what the journey hath ! , They have escaped from these; —andlo ! wo mourn. Ask the'poor sailor, when thq wreck is done, Who with his treasures strove the shore to reach, While with the raging waves be battled on. Was it not joy, where every joy seemed gone, To see his loved one landed on the be'aeb ? A poor wayfarer, leading by the hand A little child, bad baited by the well, To wash from off Her feet the clinging sand. And tell the tired boy of that bright land Where, this long journey past, they longed to dwell, When lo! the Lord, who many mansions had. Drew near and looked upon the suffering twain; Then, pitying, spake, “ Give me the little lad; In strength renewed, and glorious beauty clad, I'll bring him with me when I come again. 0 Did she make answer selfishly and wrong : 14 Nay, the woes I feel he too must share! 0 Or, rather, bursting into grateful song, She went her way rejoicing, and made strong To struggle on, since he was freed from cure. Wo will do likewise. Death hath made no breach In lovo and sympathy, in hope and trust. No outward sign or sound our cars can reach; But there's an inward, spiritual speech. That greets us still, though mortal tongues be dust. It bids us do the work that they laid down— Take up the song where they broke off the strain; So journeying till we reach the hpavenly town, Where are laid up, our treasures and our crown—- And our lost loved ones will bej found again. Select siovff. [From the American Union.] THE BEGGAR BOY. or stsnez Herbert; Jlr. Moneypenny shook his head, t4 43ure, eir, you're not going to let me pass this comfortable place at night fall, when I only ask the same shelter that your horees and oxen a ,toss on the straw which will be none the worse for it V* -Still Mr. Moneypenny shook-his head. ■ “ The night is keen, sir, and very, very cold ; and I have nothing to pay for my lodging and it is very hard that you won’t give me a privi lege that-costs you nothing, and is of the very greatest consequence to me.” ■“ I’ve answered you—and that should be enough. 1 can’t let stragglers into my out houses, and I’ve 00 spare beds. There ore tav,- erns enough—try one of them.” “ But I’ve no money.” • - “ That’s not’my fault, that I’m aware of.— You have words enough. You ought to. be in Congress, or the State Legislature, at least. I never heard such w tease, in the shape of a beg gar, in 'my life.” The poor boy—for hoy ha was—turned away. He, was a stranger and a traveler r but be never had, till now,-heard the hard word beggar ap plied to him. His little stock of money had held out till this evening, by careful economy ; for be had usually obtained food as he walked, almost without asking, and lodging beside.— He was chilled through and dispirited, and without any definite purpose walked into tbs village inn, whose light shone invitingly. No body objected to bis drawing near the fire, where be warmed bis shivering limbs, and in the present comfort which that afforded forgot his destitution. He mechanically read the va rious handbills and written notices, in the vain bope of finding something that might offer him a-bome. Finding nothing there, ho studied the faces of the party in the room, with no better result. Warmth obtained, he began to feel the cravings of appetite, as be had .eaten nothipg for several hours. And he was tantalized, moreover, with the sound of the hissing fry and the smell of comestibles which came through the often opened door. “Supper fur the gentlemen,” at length was announced.' A great, rosy-faced, good-natured roan, who sat by the fireaide, and had, unsuspected by our hero, been attentively observing him, arose to follow the not unwelcome summons. The poor boy looked wistfully and sighed. “ Gomel” said rosy face. ■ “Me?” asked the boy; and he drew near the gentleman’s warm check! and whispered, “ I’ve no money 1” “ Who could’nt see that?” said the other.— ■“lt’s the very reason I asked you. Will you dome?”- “ With many thanks—” “ Not a word of that, my boy. Do you take anything before f” Tbelad declined. But his new friend addressed himself to a preliminary modicum of spirits, and then led the way to a substantial supper, to which the boy did grate ful and ample justice. The landlord, not to be outdone in generosity by his guest, refused to accept payment for the young man’s supper, and added the favor of telling him that he might sleep in the haymow, if ho chose. Of course the homeless wanderer gratefully accepted the proffered shelter, and as he required no servant to light him to his lodgings, at once repaired to the place designated, lie had scarcely taken possession before he beard voices below : '“ls the old man going to-night?” some one asked the hostler. The hostler bad not heard. And then our hero beard a conversation be tween two other persons, to the purport that it would not do to let tho “ old man,” os they called him, off until morning. IJo had sold his cattle that day, and was well furnished with money, Oliver was uneasy. He waited a few minutes, slippeddewh from' his impromptu bed, •find roturnedto the bouse. Neither bis absence nor his return was noticed, and he saw, with some uneasiness; that his new friend was fur nisbed with soma “ warm drink,” which ha was enjoying with great gusto, Oliver was direct and straightforward, and ha went at once to the side of the “ old man,” as the stable inter locutors had termed him, and asked for a word out of doors. “ Have you sold cattle to-day, sir ?” he asked. 1 To be sure,” said the other, placing hie bond inside'of his waistcoat, to satisfy himself that his pocketbook was still there. “ What of that, my lad 1” Oliver recountSfi what he had heard. “ Oh, bo !” said the other with a chuckling laugh, “ I’ll stay and face them out!” “Well, sir—l’ve done my duty, and hope yon do’nt think me impertinent." “ Not a bit—not a bit. Come to think, I won’t stay. I’ll go. Who are you 1" “ I’m a young man looking for shelter, clo thing and food, and willing to earn them. I’ve no father and no mother—am many miles from what I used to call home, and have no friends. And r answer to the name of Oliver.” “Well, Oliver, go tell the hostler to put that sorrel horse into the York wagon, and as yon have no particular engagement, go home with me to-night. There are no highwaymen in the house, or footpads, but there are some people not much better—they are gamblers.” Oliver did as he was requested, and was not at all unwilling to change bis stable,quarters for a bed in the farmer's bouse. Not to multi ply words, the end of the adventure was, that be was engaged as a farm hand by his new friend. Mr. Gregory was a farmer, well to do in this world. Everything about his homestead had an air of abundant and substantial comfort.— He rejoiced' in the possession of many acres, from which he was content to draw the means of living, without inourrifag debt; satisfied if ho derived income sufficient from his farm, to pay bis taxes and meet his cash expenses. The thought of accumulation or investment never ocojirred to him, although, in spite of bis care lessness, ready money would sometimes gather on his bands until he was compelled to >; put it out.” He had a thrifty, managing wife, and three children. The daughter was qt home, her mother’s assistant. The two sons were away—like many farmers’ sons, despising the honest independence of their father’s avocation. And Oliver came along very opportunely to ba to Mr. Gregory what one or both of his sons should have faeciu^ Oliver, as he had said, was on orphan boy, but his conduct proved that helmd-ureceived a good training. lie caused Mr. Gregory’a farm tn yUld profits most gratifying, as they wore; unexpected ; for losses which-had previ ously occurred from want of attention and fore sight, ceased under his closer management. — lie bad an innate aversion to idleness, and a habit of seeking and planning dailj precau tions against waste and inconvenience. And be insensibly and unintentionally so ingratiated himself with the female members of the house hold, that when a year or two had passed away, the thought of any parting or separation had ceased to be entertained .by any of them. Oli ver was an undoubted fixture. It was in his power to introduce reforms ond changes, and nobody objected to the rude bed which he had constructed in an outhouse for the benefit of travelers, who, like him, on the night on which ho came under Mr. Gregory’s notice, had nei ther shelter nor the means of paying for it. ' lie would gladly have persuaded,his master from daily potations, but that was-an evil which, however much ho desired, bo could not imme diately reach.’ He was forced to content him self with preventing, so fur as possible, the evils of the habit which he could not induce Mr. Gregory to forego 5 and on many occasions be stood between his friend and loss or danger, ff Oliver was not strictly a disinterested friend, he came as near meriting that designation as the nature of tillage permits. Providence has so ordered things in this world, that it is next to impossible for a man to do his neighbors good, without some reaction of that good to bis own benefit. I Others, who would have Mr. Gregory consi der them friends, were certainly not disinter ested. Among these was Mr. Moneypenny.— That individual bad an acquaintance with gamee of chance, modes of betting, and other hazards, which usually resulted in his own ad vantage, to the cost of whatever unfortunate be could inveigle into his meshes. He was oue of the company whom Oliver frustrated at the inn the first night upon which he met Mr. Gregory. True to the selfish and savage instincts of a gambler, he kept his eye upon the “youngbog-' gar.” Perhaps he might have forgotten the first offence—but Oliver repeated it; and as often as Mr. Gregory was exposed, managed to protect him. The interference with their voca tion made the-whole coterie angry, but none more so than Mr. Moneypenny. That applied himself industriously to the purpose of breaking up the connection which savtid Gregory from becoming completely the dupe of himself and his companions. In ueudoes and insinuations against Oliver’s cha racter were far a lung time plied with little ef fect. Gregory knew too well the honesty and industry of bis faithful foreman, to have Ids faith in his integrity shaken by interested stran gers. Every man, however, has a blind side; and Moneypenny discovered the weak point in Gregory’s character. And after that alb went swimmingly awhile with the confederates. “ Don’t be in such baste, Gregorysaid Mo neypenny to him oho evening; “ ypurforeman will overlook it, if yon do’nt get home for once until ten or eleven o’clock.” Gregory glared on him with anger and aston ishment. “ Perhaps you did ask Oliver’s permission, and were to stay with us. If you did not, I will give you a written apology to him.”, , Gregory paid no further attention fo this sally, than to order hia horse peremptorily. — Stilt the shot told, and the man felt mqro than be was willing'tii acknowledge, a false shame that he had submitted even to good direction. Ho grew less cordial andikind to his friend, his true friend, the “ beggnrijboy,” and gave him self more license in drink and in idleness—to prove that he was his own master! Many a man has made a similar error. Moneypenny was too skillful a tempter to repeat the provo cation. lie saw that it was doing its work, and that was enough. To overdo the matter, would have been to defeat his purpose. Still there was left too much influence of the man over his master, to suit the ends of the clique, and they bethought themselves of a new moHe to lessen it. “ Are your sons at home, Gregory?” asked Moneypenny. “ No—they neither of them take to farm ing.” ” It’s very well, then, that you have this Oli ver What’s-bis-name to look after matters.” “ I could’nt have a better.” “Interest, man—interest. Everybody natu rally guards his own, and is careful of the pro perty to which he hopes to havo a title." “ I do'nt understand you.” “Perhaps not —but perhaps your daughter does. It’s all, very well on some accounts to keep a faithful servant; but most people dislike the idea of harboring a stroller to marry into the family.” “ Nonsense 1” exclaimed Gregory. But the shot had told as well as the other ; and when the fanner walked bis horse past bis kitchen window, and saw the cheerful fire and light within, the scene was not pleasant to him.— There sat his wife and daughter, each occupied with her needlework, while Oliver amused them by reading alood. There was an air of domes tic comfort there, which appeared to lose no thing by his absence. It looked like a party, the members of which were pleased with each other—so well pleased, that there seemed no doubt of a closer union by and-by. Gregory was furious, and believed nil, and more, than his artful enemy had suggested. As he entered the kitchen, Oliver rose and went out to take charge of the horse. There was a moody and sullen look on Gregory’s face, at which his wife and daughter were not aston ished, for, as he had become in toe habit of ab senting himself from home, gloom had gathered upon bis brow. Tonight bis discontent was more, apparent than ever, and was increased rather than abated, by the efforts of his wife and daughter to dispel it. Ho was resolved upon a quarrel with Oliver; and when such a determination exists, the pre text will not be long wanting. But why quar rel? it may be asked.. Two reasons. Gregory was in the wrong, and knew it. And he was in long arrears of debt, and really dependent upon one whom the custom of the world regar ded as ms dependent. Under such circum stances, how could he part with Lira on plea sant terms ? Part with him he did, and speedily went to ruin. But a few years were necessary ’to ac complish great changes. Gregory’s habits grew from tad lo worio. Ills farm ceased to support itself. Ilia ready money found its way into the pockets of his thievish companions, and in bis old ago he was obliged to mortgage his prop erty. On the mortgage he was soon unable to pay the interest, and foreclosure was threat ened. In vain he appealed for assistance to his “ friends.” They had plundered him of all ha possessed, and he ceased to be an object of interest, or even tolerance, to them. They surely regretted, with hypocritical sorraw, that he had thrown away his property, and they professed to fear.that he would throw himself away besides. But nobody would even credit him for necessaries, much less supply him with money. Drink had become a passion with him —a passion which, in bis poverty, he could no longer always gratify. He was furious, when fiia forgotten debt to his old servant, with its airears of interest, was put in suit, and judgment went against him,by default. Other creditors followed, and Mr. Gregory was a completely ruined man. A Sheriff’s sale wound up his affairs, and at the end of - it he was doubly bankrupt, for the pro ceeds were not sufficient to satisfy the mort gage and the expenses of the sale. The judg ment held against him by bis discharged fore man, took the whole mortgage of the personal property. The conveyancer to whom the farm had been mortgaged, was the purchaser; and the same party also bought in all the farm stock, except such as happened'to sell for mure than its value. “I wish Oliver!had remained with usl” sighed the wife, as they sat round the hearth, no longer theirs, anld dooked painfully and un certainly forward ti their forced removal. “ Wishing does no {good," said Gregory;— “and if it did, I cannot see why you should wish that. Oliver was one of the first to hurry this ruin, by bringing his suit, like an ungrata ful vagabond. If he had refrained, the others would not have thought of it.” “ Do’nt flatter yourself,” said hia wife, with some.asperity. “ And for my part, since we must lose oqr home, I am glad that the just debt has preference over the others. There .was a knock at the dour. In answer to the usual summons to “ walk in,” the sub ject of their conversation entered. Mr. Greg ory offered him a chair, with formal politeness. Mrs. Gregory offered him her hand—Mias Gregory did not refuse hers, when he essayed to take it. There was an awkward effort to enter into conversation. None of the party knew how to commence. With an apology for doing so, Oliver at length ashed what were their plans. While Mr. Gregory was endeavoring men tally to concoct something which should be suf ficiently dignified and contemptuous, Mrs. Gre gory answered that they had no plans. Would you like to remain here ?” “Of all things, if possible,” slfe answered. “ But that cannot be.” “ Certainly not,” said Mr. Gregory. “We have been unfortunate, but wo have not lost am, spirit. We could not consent to coma un der obligations to those who have ruined us.” jOliver smiled with the slightest shade of bit terness, at Gregory’s idea of spirit and magna nimity. He felt the intention of the remark, but his conscience acquitted him ; and he pnsr ceeded to tell them how they might continue in their homestead, if they chose.

Having given them this information, and de sired them to postpono their answer till the morrow, Oliver took bis leave. Curtain colloquies are remarkable fur their influence over husbands who are rebellious when wide awake and stirring. Sleep is a pa cificator, and Mr. Gregory having been talked into slumber by his helpmate, awoke in tha morning disposed to be placable. The issue will readily be conjectured. Oliver entered into possession very much on the old footing, only that Mr. Gregory had no longer the temp tation of large sums in his pocket on cattle market days. Oliver furthermore verified Mr. Moneypenny'a prediction, by marrying tha daughter; and it is shrewdly suspected that this was an event to which she bad never ceased to lojak forward, though Oliver was driven away from> the homestead. Matters soon resumed their cheerful look as the Gregory farm. Not only was the interest on the mortgage promptly paid, but the princi pal was annually diminished, until in a few years the estate was Oliver's property in fee simple. And Mr, Moneypenny ? For many years he disappeared from the neighborhood. His claims against Gregory were contested, and si.own on trial to be “ without consideration.” liisgraca followed the exhibition which thfi suit caused, and losses of various kinds followed disgrace. Ilia fellow harpies devoured the remnant of his ejects, and their evil practice finally brought down the whole of the knavish coterie to their true level. The bed for the stranger Is still kept up at the Gregory farm. One night an old man, whi>< applied for shelter, was put there to rest. In the morning he was reported ill, and Oliver was shocked to recognize in him his old enemy, Mr. Moneypenny. "He was brought to tba house, and well cared for until he recovered. And then, perhaps yon are ready to say, he was given constant shelter and employment. Nut at all. Oliver is not romantic in his generosity, and would not endanger bis own household to serve a stranger. Mr. Monejypenny went hi* way when he was restored to health, and find* in this land of plenty no lack of food when ha is hungry, or of labor when he is disposed U» undertake it. Every condition has its consolations. And Mr. Moneypenny is not without his. Fur when ever the course of the Hon. Oliver , in Congress, is alluded to in his hearing, Mr. M. says: “ Knew the fellow when he was a boy. Al ways told him be would make something. Told him myself he would get into Congress.” I But further than this, relative to his early know ledge of lion.

Yates, of was the principal spea ker. In the course of his remarks, be said : “ I am anti-slavery, not because I was born in "New England, and have my pnjudicea against the southern people, but because I was born in the South. There center all the mem ories of my youth ; there is the home of mV kindred,; and I believe that the jjvarni, genial pulsations of humanity flow in as deep a cur rentrthrough Southern veins, as in any people beneath the sunf —but slavery has been the canker of tbe South, to eat out both its sub stance and its manhood, and to subject it to a boastful, insulting, arrogant aristocracy, which, from the habit of tyrannizing over the poor slave, has become too pampered and arrogant to submit to the rightful authority of good gov ernment and laws: Slavery not only oppressed tbe African race, sundering husband fruui wife, and father from son, exacting service without remuneration, but degraded the poor’wbite, de prived him of his rights, reduced the wages of bis labor, divided the laud into large planta tions, so that the white population was sparse and schools few and remote. It stood us a per petual living wall, a black and ghastly specter, to roll back the, tide of emigration which was pouring from Europe and. Yew England, ami which sought the prairies and woods of the Northwest, and which, under the genius and life-giving energy of free labor and free institu tions, has marched forward with stalwart giant tread, to wealth and power, while the South, with its fertile soil and genial sky, has drooped and withered beneath the curse of slavery. “ It is for the good of the South, as well as fur tbe welfare of the country, that I wish to see sla very extinguished. Small farms, free labor, free schools, a free press, and open Bibles, wiihfreu institutions, will make the South bloom and blossom as tbe rose. [Loud cheers.] Hhcu ever, self-poised and conscious of her moral status and power—when every man can lift up to God unfettered limbs and soul—then tfa<» - South will start with a bound ; emigration, and genius, and art, and enterprise, will seek her sunny bills and vales; and these shall ha the Lookout Mountains upon her deliverance, and a race of unending progress to wealth, power and renown." [Lengthened applause.] One of the Vice Presidents of the MoClei.- AN-mceting recently held at Cooper Institute, New York, was a man named Henry Grins£U., who is regarded by the Southern rebels as au open and ardent champion of their cause.
