Ah ! my heart is weary waiting, Waiting for tha May ; Waiting for the pleasant rambles, Where the fragrant haw thorn brambles, With the woodbine alternating, Scent the dewy 3lay. Ah ! my heart is sore with sighing. Sighing for the May ; Sighing for the sure returning, When the summer's brains are burning, ❑eyes and (lowers that, dead Of dylutr, Al! the the Winter lay. Ah ! my heart, minivan is throbbing, l'ltrobbing for the May ; Tim.!thing for the sea-wide Or the water:wooing willows, When., in laughter and in sobbing, Glide the streams away.

Can you not, boys and girls, in such way lessen the load of sorrow, or add to the joys of some sons and daugters of affliction? 1U Mother Alums be§it. A party of little girls stood talking be neath my window. Snore nice plan was on foot ; they were going into the woods, and they •meant to mike oak leaf trim mings, pick berries, and carry luncheons. Oh, it was II fine time they meant to hare. "Now," said they, to one of the number, "Ellen, you run home and ask your moth er if you may go. Tell her we are all go ing. and you must." Ellen, with her green cape bonnet, skipped across the way and went into the house opposite. Site was gone some time. The little girls kept looking up at the win dows very impatiently. At lengtli the door opened. and ]glen come down the steps. She did not seem to be in a hurry to join her companions, and they cried out : .You got leave ? You are going, aro you ?" Ellen shook her head, and said that her Mother could not let her go. "0," cried the children, "it's too had ! Not !it is really unkind in your moth er.' "Why I would make her let you." "U ! 0 I" "I would go whether or no." "3ly mother knows best," was Ellen's answer, and it was a beautiful one. Her lip quivered a very little, for I suppose xlie wanted to go, and was much disap pointed nut to got leave ; but she did net look angry or pouting, and ,b_er voice was very gentle, but very fir in, 1&:n she said, "My mother knows best " There are a great ninny occasions, when mothers do not see fit to give their children leave to go and do where and what they wish to; and how often are they rebellious anil pouting in consequence of it ! But this is-not the true way, fur it is not pleasing to God. THE UNFINISHED LETTE R. -A lady, being, absent on a visit to some friends, wrote a letter home, describing how she had enjoyed herself, and saying how much happier -she: doubtless would. have been had her husband and children been present with be r. The letter was posted,.received by her httaband, and read by him to the children, who were all delighted with the good news and 'kind wishes it contained.

Y• Tribune 11OLD:111E, A THRILLINO SKETCH The stage horn was ringing in my ear its warning that, like time and tide, it waited for no man, or woman either, but as I hurried no through a dim passage, I had a glimpse through a half open door at a sconce that has impressed itself on My memory indelibly. "Why didn't they hold mo," were the words uttered in such an anguish that they thrilled in my ear when the stage I had borne me far aalay from that, great city and its sins and sorrows, and I deter mined to fling them us an alarm on •the I winds. until the statesmen and people, mother and teacher, should set about forg ing bands to hold those that follow iu the footsteps of that dreadful sufferer. A half dozen fine looking men surround ed his bed, the thrifty growth of hair on their faces, and the glittering of jewelry about their persons, indicated as plainly us I their haggard features, nod wary eyes, the order to which they belonged. They were of that mysterious order of knighthood, who seem to have found the alchemist's coveted power, nr at least to enjoy is cov eted results. They live in first class ho tels, wear first class clothes, gold abounds with them, and yet they hold labor, prac tically at least, in supreme. contempt. I knew the object of their cats was one of their number ,who, the night before, in a lit of deleri.sin tremens, had thrown him self from the window of the upper story of the hotel. lie did not toss from side to side as men do usually when a burning fever ra ges on them, for head, spine, limbs, had all been rendered useless by that fall; but his whittle frame quivered with agony, and from underneath the matted, streaming masses of hair that fell over Lis face, at ready wan and wasted with suffering, his eve- glared out fiercely as a wounded tiger s.

So they mocked, and jeered, and incited hint on to combat with his phantom foes, until the window caught his eye as a hope fur escape, and so, wirh a yell and a bound, he made that desperate leap, and the next moment there was taken up from amid the mire end blood and shivered glass in the street, a shrieking sad mangled wreck of humanity. Whether that reckless and restless spirit has gone up to its awful account of misspent time, or has to beat out its Wa ry life against the prison bars of a crippled frame, I know not. God be merciful, and heal, if he 14sgers, both soul and body.— Why didn't they hold him ? Not those careless, heartless watchers of the other night; the demon of drink was in him then too strong fur mortal coutr6l, but long, long ago, when he was a blithe r bright boy, as I remember him ; then his mother might have held him in the bonds of good habits, and trained-him as she did those fragrant vines about her door, and thus virtue might have rendered another house as fair as did those clustering branch es her own sweet cottage. 1 remember that household well. The father was a man of high standing, filling a responsible and respectable office. The mother gay and indulgent, and affection ate, surrounded by a band of rosy girls and frolicking boys. Fashion entered the holy circle first, with its bonefish habits of idleness and extravagance. With it came' the custont ofdrleking, because of fog or frost, becau se they were merry or because they were sad. The wind was sown there; long years they have been reaping' the whirlwind, A taste for drinking rendered useful oc cupation distasteful ; gaming afforded at once excitement and a !nowise of a living without labor. Thy boys drifted off into vagrancy, the father was degraded from his station, and died in disgrace and penu ry. The girls dropped like cankered flow ers, and God, in pity, took thorn. The homestead has passed into stran gers' hands, and nnw the poor old mother sits alone in a comfortless cabin. beside the same stream which rolled by the home of her early happiness, and doubtless, as it wanders by, it often whispers of the time when eh might have held them all back, by her counsel and example, from their ruin. • The following was' picked 'up inside the bar at the Court House, in Springfield, Mass, on Saturday, and challenges admi ration, equally for its wit, its poetical per. fection, its philosophy and its orthogra.

GETTYSBURG, PA., FRIIIA I •Whlskey, Mr.,' There is a deep, dark alley not far From where we live. It is a dirty alley. ill-ra ved and"unwholesome, It is lined with old rickety wooden houses, with damp col lars and crazed garrets. It terminates in a sort of vinare court, where there is a boiler factory a and tireless, panting, steam engine. This alley is inhabited by a myr iad of people, chiefly poor Irish laborers. with their families—large families, too.— We believe our alloy would turn out more little ones, of both sexes, than any other alley of its dimensions in the city. Poor creatures 1 ragged, dirty, barefooted. hun gry—yes, half starved, sometimes. Scores of such children live here. There is a great deal of drunkenness, quarrelling, fighting. swearing and hunger, and want, and cold in that alloy. We wish a foreign missionary would visit it.— Perhaps some of our good people who are so interested in the 'heathen could find objects of charity there. We are very sure they could. Night before last we were going home about ten o'clock ; as we passed the mouth of the alley, a little girl turned in from the street. She was half clad in thin summer clothes, bare-footed, wet and shivering—for it rained heavily. She was a miserable looking object. In her hand was a battered tin cup., which she ,held carefully while she stepped across the swimn:ing gutter. It was a strange impulse, but we said— " What have you got in that cup. sin ?" She stopped, and turaing her thin pale face towards us—there is a Lamp near the. alley—she bnswered iu a hesitating, timid tone— "Whiskey, sir." , Who is it for ?" "Father and mother." "Do they drink it?" "Yes sir—sometimes," she said, with a hesitating, half-frightened tone. "Where did you get it r "At the grocery, air." " , Show um where you got it." ''o, I can't ; I must go —it's so cold !" And she vanished up die dark, damp allev. Now I knew the secret of the noises, the oaths. the poverty, the wretchedness of that all, y--"or ut ka,t oue great cam.e. "Whiskey, sir." Look at those Idc4itetl, brutal men— those ragt , ed, brawling, obtletle woincit— tho•te starving, freezing, th,pele:is, joy less children. Why are they so— " Whiskey, sir." What brought that man, stained aryl bloody, before the police court this morn ing I What sent that wretched female to the ‘9,graut'eold, ttoy.or, Biel lq the house of refuge 7 "Whiskey, sir." And if the criminal isasked by the ju 17,0 if he has aught to say why the sentence of the law should not be passed upon him, nny plea to make, any defence to put in, what should be his honest reply 1— "Whiskey sir." There goes a man, who five years since was in excellent circumstances, had n good business and a happy family. lii is 'low a dissolute loafer ; his family suffers ev ery day• for the necessaries of life.— W hat brought them to misery, despair and want I—, "Whiskey, sir." See those little children growing up in sin, ignorance and poverty, with no child. ish joys, no buoyant feelings. tin pure thoughts, no' feud hopes, no affections, no respect for their wretched parents. What keeps them in such a terrible condition ? "Whiskey, sir." AL ! child with the tin cup. von spoke a volume them; a volume that bringsno joys to the reader. You told a story of much crime and beggary, ruin and death, of woo that has no consolation. But, there stands a beautiful and costly building. money has been lavished to adorn it in every style of elegance, inside and out. It it a noble structure. Who was the builder ? "Whskey,' sir." Yes, there was a great volume in thf child's words—n volume of splendor, of wealth, of sudden tickles, of money accu mulated year by year, of aristocratic fam ilies, of young men and beautiful woolen, who, for eveything they have tend enjoy, are indebted, and to nothing else indebted, but to- "Whiskey, sir." NVo have noticed that girl with her cup ninny times before coming tionra grocery near by, but never did we imagine her er rand. We thought the days of retailing rum to children was passed ; God knows it should be. Remember—" Cursed is he who putteth the cup to his neighbor's lips." There was a murder in that alley last winter. The corpse was found i the coro ner was summoned , an inquest held.— The verdict was—" Came to his death by a violent blow on the head, delivered by somebody unknown to the jury." That was no verdict! At the time that man was killed, there was a drunkenrow—sev oral persons, men and women, were inju red ; and there was rioting and brawling all night long. The verdict might have been shorter—two words would . have ex pressed it— " Whiskey, sir." There will be much suffering in that al loy this winter. The spirits of cold, crime and hunger have rented it, wo opine, and moved .in many tenants. But Ahem . is one who pays up rent, who carries misery with him, who brings sorrow, contention, yea death! Who is he? "Whiskey, sir." Ile is a ruinous, quarrelsome, ferocious tenant.
