BY D. A. & O• H• BUEHLER VOLUME AVM} TIRE CHILD'S STORY This story is one of the most beautiful pictures of life we have ever seen. Mark how the child is lost in the youth, how the youth merges into the man at the ad vent of the pretty Fanny, how life gathers interest as the children one by one join the travelling pair, and then scatter in their several ways—bow, in the autumn, each go to their long home ; and the lone old man, just at the setting of ids sun, brings them back to his recollection, a perfect family, as beautiful as ever. Once upon a time, a good many years ago, there was a traveller, and he set out upon a journey. It was a magic journey, and was to seem very long when he begat it,and very short when he gut half through. 110 travelled along a very dark path for some little time, without meeting any thing, until at last he eaine to a beautiful child. Su he said to the child, "What do you. here Aud the child said, "I am al ways at play. Coke and play with me." 8o he played w ith that child the whole day long, and they were vnky merry. The sky was so blue, the sun was so bright, the water was so sparkling; the leaves were so green, the flowers were so lovely, and they s ticard such singing birds, and saw so many butterfliesithat every thing was beautiful. This was in fine weather. %Vile!' it rained they loved to watch the falling drops, and to Stria the fresh scents. TieU it blew, it was delightful to listen to te wind, and fancy alit it stud, L it Caine rushing from its home—where was that, they wondered: —whistling and howliag, driving the clouds before it, betiding the trees, tuna, hug iu the chimneys, shaking the honey, cud making the sea roar in fury. But, when it snowed that was the best of all; h 4 they liked not hittg so well as to look up at.l the white flakes falling thick and' fast, like down limn the breasts of millions of white Lads; aud to see how smooth and deep the drift was; and to listen to the bush up on the patisrand roads. They had plenty of the finest toys in *he world, and the must astonishing picture books; all about scituetars, and sluipe&,' find turbans, and dwarfs, and giants, and genii, and fairies, and blue-hearths, a nd beau-staiks, and riches, and caverns, and forests, and Valentines, and °realm; ; and all new, and all true. lint oue day, of a sudden, the traveller lost the child. II 1. called to hini over and rvtid over again, but gut no answer. So he went upon his road, and went on for a lit tle while without meeting ainy thing until at last he came to a handsome boy. So he said to the boy, "What, do yon here ?" and the boy said, "1 8111 always learning. Come and learn with me." So he learned with that boy about Jupiter and Juno, and the I;reeks and the Ronal's, and 1 dun'; know what, and learned more than I could tell, or he either, for he soon forgot a great deal of it. But they were not always learning ; they had the merri est g ItHeo that et er were played. They r o wed mem the river in mitioner, and ska- tell on the ice in winter ; they were active ou foot, and active on horseback ; at crirk• et, and all games at ball ; the prisoners' base, hare and limitols, follow tuy lader, and mote sports than I can think of ; no body could beat them. They had holidays, too, and t.ellth e:ikes, and parties w he re they danced till midnight, and real thea tres, where they saw palaces of real gold and silver rise out of th e earth, nod saw all the wonders of the world at once. As to friends, they had such dear friends and so many of them, that I want the time to reokon them up. They were all young, like tkitt• handsome boy, and were never to be strange to one another all their lives through. Still, one day, in the midst of all these gay pleasures, the traveller lost the boy as had lost the child, and after calling him in vain, went oil' upon his journey. So be wont ou for a little wiiie without seeing any thing, until at last lie came to a young man. So he said to the young man, "What do you do here ?" And the young man said, "I am always iu love. Come and love with me !" So, he went away with that young man, and presently they came to one of the pret tiest girls that ever was Been justlike Fanny in the corner there—and she had eyes like Fanny, and hair like Fanny, and dimples like Fanny's and she laughed aqd colored just as Fanny does while I am Mitt jog about her. So, the young man fell in love directly—just as somebody I won't mention, the first time ho mune here, did with Fanny ; and they quarreled some times—just as somebody and Fanny used to quarrel ; and then made it up, and gat in the dark, and wrote letters every day, and never were happy asunder, and wore always, looking ontisTor one another and pretending not to, awl were engaged at Christmai time, and sat tilos° to ,ene anoth er by the fire, and were going to bo mar ried very allon—all exactly like somebody I wont mention, and Fanny But tlut-tkavelter lost them one day, as be 4d lost the rest of his friends, and, af ter' calling to tholu to come back, which they never did, went.upon Sig journey.— So, he went on for a little while without seeing anything, until at last he carne to a a middle-aged gentleman. So he said, to the gentleman, "What are yeti doing here ?" And his answer was, "I am alwaysbusy.— Conte and be busy with me 1" So, he began to be very busy with that gentleman, and they went on through the wood together. The whole journey was through a wood, only it had been open and green at first, like a wood in spring ; and now began to be thick and dark, like a wood in summer; some of the little trees that had come out curliest, Were even turn ning brown. The gentleman was Lot a alone, but had a lady of about the same age with him, who was his wife ; and they had children, who were with them too.— So, they *ll went on together through the wood, cutting down the trees, and making a path through the branches and the fal len leaves, and carrying burdens and work ing hard. Sometimes, they came to a long green avenue that opened into deeper woods.— Then they would hear a very little distant voice crying, "Father, father, I am anoth er child ! Stop for me !" and presently they would see a very little figure growing larger as it canto along, running to join them. When it eerie up they all crowd ed :wound it, and kissed and welcomed it ; and then they all went on together. Sometimes, they came to several ave nues at once, and then they all stood still , apd one of the children said, 4 4Futher, I tins going to sea;" and another said, "Father, I uui going to India ;" and another, "I am going to seek toy fortune wl,►ere I can ;" and another, "Father, I am going to Ma ven !" So, with many tears at parting, they went, solitary, down those avenues, cacti child upon its way ; and the child who went to flown, rose into the golden air and vanished. Whenever these partings happened, the traveller looked ut the gentleman, and sow him look at the sky above the trees, where the day was beginning to declitm, and the sunset to come ott. Ile maw, ton, that hn, hair was turning grey. But they never (weld rest long, for they had their journey to perform and it was necessary for them to be always busy. At last, there had been so.many part ings that them was no children left, and only the traveller, the gentleman and the lady, went upon their way iu etimpany.— And now the wood was yellow, and now brown ; and the leaves, even of the forest trees, began to fall. S'o they came to an avenue that;was darker than the rest, and were pressing forward on their journ4 without looking down it when the lady stopped. "My husbaud,'' said the lady, "I am They listened, and they heard a voice long way down the avenue, say, "Mother, in,ther !'' It was the voice of the first child who had said, "I am going to Heaven !" and the father said, "I pray not yet. The sun set is very near. I pray not yet ?" laid, t voice cried, "Mother, mother !" without minding him, though his hair was now quite white, and the tears were on his face. Then, the mother, who was already drawn into the shades of the dark avenue, cud moving away with her arms still around lii.,. ucek, kissed him, and said, "3.1 y dear ; est, I am summoned, and Igo !" And the traveller and he were alone together. And they wet:t on and on together, until they came to very near the end of the wood; so near, that they could see the sunshine shining red before them through the treof. Yet, once wore, while he broke his way among the branches, the traveller lost his friend. He called and called, but there ! was no reply, and when ho passed out of I the wood, and saw a peaceful sun going j down upon a wide purple prospect, be came to a❑ old man sitting on a fallen tree. So, he said to the old man, "What do you do here ?" And the old :uau said, with a calm smile, "I am always remem bering. Come and remember with me !" So, the traveller sat down by the side of that old man, face to face, with the serene sunset; and all his friends came softly back and stood around him. The beauti ful child, the handsome boy, the young man in love, the faiber, mother, and chil dean ; every one of them was Mere, and be had lost nothing.

"Your hands, what is the matter with your hands ; not been scalding them I hope." No! worse than that ; I have got them all blistered up. trying to cut out the chil -1 dren's fall clothes, with my old scissors.— ' I've had *ern these ten years, and they are just as dull as a hoe, and evert• time I cut a roundabout, shirt, or pair of pants. I have just such a time of it. Susan Williard is sewing for me now, and I wanted to get my cutting done while my hand was In, so I just wanted to see if you would not lend Ins your nice tailor shears, a day or two, for I won't do another thing with mine for a week to come."

Would your husband complain if you should trim your btinnets with ribbon that cost only half that sum. and appropriate the balance to the pur chase of a new pair of scissors ?" "No, of course he would not, but who, I'd likikto know, is going to make them selves flie town talk for the sake of gratify ing a husband's whims 1" "Do it to gratify yourself, to add to your own comfort. My bonnet trimmings and all will not east over one dollar and a half. and I don't believe the town will trouble itself one hit about it. Town talk or no talk. you may he sure I'll never run about with my fingers in rags while I can save the price of a patrol' scissors in one bonnet trimming.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT PIERCE MY CousrravAtax :—lt is a relief to feel that no heart but my own can know the penisi)nal regret and bitter sorrow over which I have been borne to a position so suitable for others rather than desirable for myself. The circumstances under which I have been called for a "period to preside over the destinies of the Republic. fill me with a pro found sense of responsibility, but with nothing like shrinking or apprehension. I repair to the post assigned tae not as one sought, but in obedience to the unsolicited es.- pression of your will—answerable only for a fearless, faithful and diligent exercise of my best powers. I ought to be, and I am, truly grateful for the rare manifestations of the nation's confi dence: but this, so far from lightening my obli gations. only adds to their weight. You have summoned me in my weakness : you must sus tain by your strength. When looking for the fulfilment of reasona ble requirements, you will not be unmindful of the great changes which have occurred, even within the last quarter of a century, and the consequent augmentation and complexity of the duties imposed in the administration both of our home and foreign affairs. Whether the elements of inherent force in the republic have kept pace with its unparalleled progression in territory, population and wealth, has been the subject of earnest thought and discussion on both sides of the ocean. Less than si sty-four years ago, the Father of his Country made the (then recent) accession of the important State of North Carolina to the Constitution of the United States one of the subjects of his special congratulation. At that moment, however, when the agitation conse quent upon the revolutionary struggle had hardly subsided; when we were just emerging from the weakness and embarrassments of the confederation. there was an evident conscious ness of 'vigor equal. to the great mission so wisely and bravely fulfilled by our fathers. It was not a presumptuous assurance, but a calm faith, springing from a clear view of the sources of power in a government constituted like ours. It is no paradox to say that al though comparatively weak, the new-born na tion was intrinsically strong. Inconsiderable in population and apparent resources, it was ' upheld by a broad and intelligent comprehen sion of rights, and an all-pervading purpose to maintain them, stronger than armaments. It came from the (unarm of the revolution, tempered to the necessities of the times. The thoughts of the men of that day were all praoti. cal as their sentiments were patriotic. 'rhey wasted no portion of their energies upon idle and delusive specitlations, hut a ith a firm and fearless step advanced beyond the governmen. tel landmarks which had hitherto circumscrib ed the limits of !111 WWI freedom, and planted their standard where it has !mood against the dangers which have threatened from abroad, and iritkrnal agitation, which has at times fear fullymenaced at home. They apprevied them selvelgequal to the solution of the !creel prob lem, to understand which their minds had been illuminated by the dawning lights of the revo lution. The suldpot sought was not a thing dreamed of—it was a thing realized. They had exhib. lied not only the power to achieve, bat what all history affirms to be so much more unusual, the capacity to maintain. The oppressed throughout the world front that day to the present have turned their eyes hitherward, not to find those lights extinguish. ed or to feu lest they should wane. but to be constantly cheered by their steady and incest. ing radiance. In this our country has. in my judgment, thus far fulfilled its highext duty to suffering humanity. It has spoken. and will continue to speak, not only by its word', but by its acts, the language of sympathy, encour agement and hope to those who 'meetly Ile• ten to tones which pronounce for the lured, rational liberty. Hut, after all, the most gni- I mating enoouragement and potent appeal forl fropdq. will be its own history. its trials, and i its triumph. . : .1 Pre-eminently die power of our advocacy rows, in cur eitifiiple; but no example, be it miliplowed, can be powerful for la tips good. .wbsd/Pror apparent pinning** may be gained, which' Ai nut bean the ateratt pri - tripl a a of righbaudijas . 4 Our hallow d for.
