The niatit of grief and sham,',
When with drunken raving my lips,

Ami thy bosom wildly heaved,
Yet a smile of love was on thy cheek,
Though thy heart was sorely grieved.
0, niy words wore harsh to Ihee, Mary,
Fur tin wino-cup 'drove u.e wild,
And I chid ttf when lliitie eyes were sad,
And curs'd thee -vheu they smiled,
God know, I lov'd thee even then,
But the fire was io my brain,
And the curse, of drink was in my heart
To nuke my lve a bane'
Thn.i'rt rest nu in the church-yard now,
And no Biono is atthy luad ;
But the sexton knows a drunkard' wile
Sleeps in thnt lowly bed;
And he says the hand of God, Mary,
Will fall with crushing weight
On the wretch thai brought thy gentle lite
To its untimely Ute.
But U Wnowj not of the broken heart
I bear within my bread.
Or tho heavy load of vain remorse
That will not let "I" reit '

There lived an honest fisherman,
I knew him passing well,
Who lived hard by a little pond.
Within a litllo dell.
A itrave an I "1'iiel man was he,
Who loved his'hooU and rod ;
ho rvn ran his line ol lile,
His neij-hbors tlioobt it oU.
For seieni-H and for books, he said,
lie never bad a wish,
No school to him was woith a ,
Kxi-ept a "schiinl of fish,"
The sinijle minded tisbi-rmau
A double callim had.
To tend his Hock in winter time,
In summer lish for shad.
In shmt.this honest fisherman
All olher toils forsook,
And tlunh no vagrant man was he,
He lived by"io- uiul riaak."

BY I. C COI.PsW'OH I 111',
Let others sing ol lips ai:d eyes,
As more than hall divine ;
The virtues of the heart I pn.e,
And these, I know, are thine.
Til 'de v irtues ol the l.ea.t
In every look 1 tui'e ;
The .ji aces smile where'er Hlou alt,
And 'lis a pleasant place.
' As he tunes are are hard, mother, and you
find it dilhYult lo get along, 1 have been ll.inki.ig
of learning a trade.'
' Learnii.g a trade, Kllen .' Your father vjouM
never consent to it I know.'
Why not .;'
Because he has repeatedly nid that none ol
his daughters should go into a tailoi's shop. II"
believes It to be injurious to a female's health, to
be confined all d..y in a close shop, and obliged
to work a, hard as some ol the poor girls do. And
then, your father is a pr.oid-spiriled man, ami
would think it too humiliating lo have a daugh
ter learn a trade.'
1 believe father would consent to it ; I will
ask him at dint.er time. Why, mother, if I could
I ,r,.t a trade, only think how much I coui.l earn
and every dollar helps in family like ours more
especially u w have become somewhat reduced
in our circumstances.'
' You may ask your father, but I have no idea
that he will give his consent. '
When Mr. Thomson, Klleu's father, came home
to his dinner, his daughter remarked
'Father, what do you suppose I've been think
ing aboul."
' I'm sure I cannot tell ; what is it :'
'If you will not object lo what I want to do, 1
will tell you.'
'That I cannot do, unle-s ! know about it.'
' Well, I will tell you then. You know you
have to work hard to gel along, having an expen
sive family to support I've an idea o( learning a
trade.'
' Pshaw, child you know I will never consent
to it '
' And why not, father."
' Bec.itHU, 1 am not so poor as to he obliged !..
come to that. Ho.v do you think I should ted
to have a child at worn in a l.uloi's shop, among
I don't know who. No, no as long as I can
siippnlt my children, they shall never become
slaves to others, and drag out a miserable exis
lence at the n"'dle.'
'Why, lather, I could go with Mr. Ch-..-e, ami
he would not make me w.nk hard. Clara White
is learning her trade of him, and she tells u! it
is a pleasant shop to work in, and that Mr. Chat-e
is one of the kindest ol ln. i."
'No matter for that : I a:n decided upon it I
cannot give my consent.'
'Think how liri 'b I eould assist v.u, after I
l,-l le.nrned mv lia. bf. could buy all ir.y own
..l,,tl,..4li..ln ii.iv our new lax. and bruit! a s;reat

think about it a littl" while pel haps you maybe

I don't think 1 sb.dt ever mve my cm -en. I
have too mm h regard tor my children':; health
ami future weF'are, to permit tin in to do any
thing that will injure them. Yon have no idea
how hard and diliienlt a tailoi's trade is.'
' I'm sure, f.ith.-r, 'hsn't hard. 1 should not
have lo do halt' as miHi us mother doe". The wok
would not be hilf as hat. I. N.c.v yon think of it
a little while, and let me Uou . I do hope you
w ill g've your eniment.
' Well, I'll think about it.'

his family sat down l the lab';.'.

as neat work as any female in the neighborhood.
.Now he lo ik hold ol her new business as if she
understood it, and in a very short lime, soma ol
Uie nicest vests lor customers were put into her

more cheerful and contented.
' I shall soon be through rny trade, she would
often remark lo her father, 'and then I shall cam

When the mind and hands are asjreeably em
ployed, a few months slip away almost impercep

She had completed her trade, and Mr. Chase re.
marked to her
I shall depend upon your working for me. I
never had a better vest maker in my shop, and I
shall (jive 3011 the higheut wages.'
Pleased with her trade and her employer, F.l
len ('"dly engaged to work for Mr. Chase, and
every moment of her time was diligently employ.
Oil.
Mr. Thomson, iiutcad of regretting that his
daughter had learned a trade, was pleased at her
success, more especially as the lirst iri'.r-y she
earned, went for the purchase of a vest, which
die cut and made, and presented to her father.
One morning, a gentleman called upon Mr.
Chase. ' I have a vest which I wish to have cot
and made to dav,' said he. I wish it to "rloVlon.
well, by one of your best hands. Can y on do it ?'
' Yes, sir I think we can accommodate you.'
And Mr. Chase took the gentleman's measure,
cut the garment, ami carried it to F.llen. 1 lb-re
is a very nice vest,' said he, ' which must be don's
to. day. I want you to finish it in your veiy best
stvle. It is for a gentleman w ho will call for it
to-night.'
Kllen commenced on the vest, and worked ihl-
ii.'.-!iitly all day upon it, and just at sunset, com- j
p let rd her task. In a few uiomer.ts it was called sua i t he t'ii 1 lem t. l w o',! i, ,, ui. I

to take her wivi at the house, ;is during the win-

Mr. Chase sent her woik as often as he had it tn
do, and as usual, found it neatly ami failblully

One cold morning, as I'.llf.n w,ii assisting her 1
mother in ironing clothes, some one rapped at the '
door. Mrs. Thomson went, to see who it was,!
