OUB EABLIER DATS.
Tf bsn gathered at the hearth-fire light
As evening closes round,
ffhen 'mid iu crackling embers bright,
Old pictured things are found ;
Then memory steal across the brain,
And while the fitful blase
lUvsals wild image again
ob brings back earlier days.
How oft. together, side by side,
Have other eye with mine.
Marked a proud vessel proudly ride,
Where those bright flame-wreaths shine;
Bare seen a far-spread battle-field,
Start up before our gate,
ind now fond memory bids them yield,
The scenes of earlier days.
The warm Imaginings of youth.
Within our breasts are o'er.
Bat yet one glean like rainbow truth,
Still whisr-ers u of yore ;
And thus in long, after years,
- When balking iu its rays,
W see tho' washed by sorrow's tears,
Still bright our earlier days.
And oft when tempet-winds oercloud,
. And all within is death.
Old recollections thickly crowd
Around the fire lit hearth.
Acd tho' in time-worn brows, it seems
like childhood's simple plays,
fat do I love those pictured gleams,
That tell of earlier days.
THE HEW YEAE'S GIFT.
It was New Year's Eve ; a cold, bluater
intf night. The wind dashed ihc frozen
eleet furiously against the sturdy walls of
the lied Stone Farm-house, making the
bright fire that was burning in th 2 large, old
fashioned kitchen seem doubly grateful,
and around which were gathered father Wil
liams, bis wife and his lour children.
The weather-bronzed face of the farmer
had a caro-worn and a discontented look.
He was one of those who "make haste to be
rich," and though he is surrounded by ma
ny blessings, and every reasonable want is
supplied, as the close of the. old year finds
do surplus in hia purse, his heart, instead of
being ntted up with gratitude, is tilled with
reninines.
Ilis gentle, week-browned wife 13 sitting
beside, and her countenance wears a look 01
chastened sorrow, and tears glistened in her
ayes as they wander to the corner of the
room where stands a vacant cradle, from
which smiled, a week ago, the rosy-cheeked,
bright eyed-boy, upon wbose little grave to
night the snow is drifting heavily.
The silence was broken by a heavy knock
ut the door.
Farmer Williams immediately opened it,
revealing a respectable, middle-aged colored
man, who held carefully in his hand a cov
ered basket
''Does Mrs. Williams live here?" he in
quired. "She does."
"The lady who buried a little child yes
terday?" "Yes."
"Well, her it a Now Year's present for
her."
Thrusting the basket into the farmer's
hands, he turned and walked quickly down
the road, where could be dimly seen the out
lines of a covered sleigh, from which could
be distinctly heard the sound of stifled sobs.
Bewildered and astonished, Farmer Wil
liams carried the basket into tho kitchen,
and carefully set it down upon the table.
As he did so, he was startled by a plain
tire cry ; and upon opening it, there lay a
lovely boy, apparently about three months
olJ.
Farmer Williams sprangto the door, but
the bleigh and its occupants were nowhere
to be seen.
In the meantime Mrs. Williams and the
children gathered around the basket with ex
clamations of surprise and pleasure. As
the babe saw the sweet gentle face that bent
over it, it suddenly stopped crying, and smi
ling stretched out its little hands to her.
The heart of the bereaved mother now
yearned toward the child, and taking it up
in her arms she pressed it fondly to her bo
ora. Just then the husband came back
from his fruitless search.
"I declare it's an imposition!" lie ex
claimed, stamping the snow off his boots.
'Bot I won't submit to it. I'll take it over
to the town farm the very first thing in the
morning."
"I can't bear the idea of it's going there,
John," said his wife.. "Just see what a
weetbabeitis!"
"I don't see but what it looks like all oth
er babies," returned John, gruffly, doing
his best to .steel his heart against the little
stranger, in which he only partly succeeded,
for, rough as was the fanner's way, he had
kindly nature if one could only reach it.
"Any way the authorities will have to
take care of it," Farmer Williams contin
ued, "we can't we have got more mouths
10 fill now than we can find bread for."
Mrs. Williams' lip quivered as her thoughts
reverted to the little grave in the church
yard. Ah, to her heart was one too few !
. "Dear John," said Mrs. Williams.plead
lng'y, "it seems as though God had sent
this babe to take the place of our own little
ilHe, whom he has taken to 11 imself. Let
ie keep it. It will not fail to bring a bles
sing upon us. you may be sure."
Fanner Williams' countenance relaxed
omewhat as he looked into those tearful
v.
"Well, well, Mary," he said in a softened
voice, think about it. If we do, you
nd the children will have to go without a
ood many thing3, for these are hard times
nd likely to be harder. So you had better

tare in the Red Stone Farm-house. lie
few up a merry, winsome boy, twining even j
und the iarnter'a ragged nature,and tak
" h tte heart .of. hit adopted mothrthe
place of her lost darling, and loved and
cherished by her with equal tenderness.
Many sacrifices did Mrs. Williams make,
many toilsome hours did she spend, in order
that her husband might not feel the expense
of his maintenance too heavily. And well
did his growing intelligence and beauty, and
the ardent affection he evinced for her, re
pay her for all. There was nothing about
him that would give the slightest clue to his
parentage. Simply a bit of white paper
pinned to his frock, on which were these
words, evidently written by a woman, in a
graceful but unsteady hand :
"Arthur, born Sept. 23. I was a stran
ger and ye took me in."
Farmer Williams made some inquiries in
the neighborhood, and learned that a lady
with an infant, accompanied by a servant,
had been stopping for a week past at the
village tavern ; that she was very beautiful,
but very pale and sad, and kept her room
most of the time. But they had disappear
ed from there almost as suddenly as they
caiiie.
It is just ten years since Mrs. Williams
received her New Year's pift. Let us take
another peep into the Red Stone Farm
house. The group is smaller than then.
The farmer who murmured that he had so
many mouths to feed, has now only one child
left him the little flaxen haired girl that is
sitting by his knee. The rest are sleeping
in the little churchyard.
A heavy misfortune has befallen him :
the thirst for riches has brought its usual
curse. Possessed with the mania for spec
ulation, he mortgaged his fat m-house and
all it contained. The gilded bubble burst,
and the dawning of the New Year found
him a mined and homeless man. This was
the last night that he and his were to stay
in the old homestead, that had been in the
family for four generations, and was linked
to his heart by so many tender memories.
On the morrow they knew not whither to
go. It is true, that many of the old neigh
bors kind, good souls had offered him a
temporary home; but it was hard for the
proud self reliant man to accept charity
from any.
"What can we do? Where can we go
to?" he groaued as he thought of the mor
row. "The Lord will provide, John," sa:d his
wife, lifting her patient eyes to bis. "He
uever has fmsaken us. Neither will he for
sake any who trust in him." .,. . ..
But the farmer lacked the christian resig
nation that made the gentle heart such a
haven of peace and love.
"Aye, .that's what you've always said,
wife," he returned, imputienly, "and you
see what we've come to. For my part, 1
don't think the Lord troubles himself much
about us any way."
Mrs. Williams might have said that he
had brought this upon himself, but she
wisely forebore. Just then there came the
sound of a quick, buoyant step, and dure
burst into the room a fine, sturdy lad of
about ten, his eyes bright, and his checks
glowing from the keen, frosty air.
"It's bitter cold, I tell you ?" heexclaim
ed, flinging his cap boyf-ashion upon the
kitchen settee and stepping up to the kitchen
fire. "Not but what I've ucen as warm as
a toast, all but my ears and fingers," he
added, blowing up the latter as he spoke.
"Here is something for you mother," he
said, seating himself ou a stool at her feet,
and tossing into her lap a shining piece of
gold.
"Why, Arthur, where did you get this."
"The strange gentleman down at the tav
ern gave it to me, mother. He asked me
into his room and gave me as many nuts
and raisins as I could eat, beside."
"I wonder who he is," she said musingly.
"I can tell you," exclaimed her husband,
his eyes flashing angrily. "He is the owner
of the Red. Stone Faimhouse ! He is the
man who Lid against me on the lew articles
1 wanted to reserve. The curse of the
homeless rests upon him 1"
"Nay, John, interposed his wife, gent
ly, "perhaps he did not know how highly
you prized them."
"Yes he did ; Parson Brown stepped up
and told him, but he only smiled and said
he wanted to buy everything just as it
stood."
"Well," said the boy, gazing thoughtful
ly into the fire, "I can't help pitying him,
he looked so sorrowful. He asked me a
great many questions about you, mother,
and all the rest of us, and kept walking up
and down the room, wringing his hands and
groaning as if he was in great trouble."
"I will buy you a new coat with this,
Arthur," said Mrs. Williams, as she ex
amined anew the gold coin. . "You need
one badly . enough, ' she added, glancing,
with a sigh, at his well-patched roundabout.
"You shall do nothing of the sort, mother,
said the generous hearted boy. "You shall
buy yourself and sissy a nice warm shawl."
Before Mrs. Williams could reply there
was a quick knock at the door. Farmer
W llliams opened it. it was omy a ooy wno
brought a small parcel for Mrs. Williams.
"Another New Year's gift. I suppose," he
said bitterly, as he handed it to her, for he
was in a bitter mood. Mrs. Williams glan
ced reproachfully at her husband.
"God grant that it may bring us much
comfort," she said, laying her hand fondly
upon the head that was resting against her
knee.
As she opened it she uttered an exclama
tion of surprise. It was a deed of Red
Stone Farmhouse, made out in her name.
On the inside wrapper were these words :
"Inasmuch as ye did unto the least of
these, ye did it unto me."
There were graieful and happy hearts be
neath the roof of the homestead thai night,
though with Mrs. Williams' joy there was
mingled and uneasy feeling. She was well
assured that it was in some way connected
with Arthur, and trembled with apprehen
sion lest some one should appear who had
stronger claims to him. This foar was dis
sipated the next morning by a letter that
came to her in the first mail. It contained
a cheek for five thousand dollars, together
with these words :
"The boy that you so generously received
ten years ago, and have so tenderly cherish
ed since, will never be taken from you. The
mother, forced to relinquish the babe, dear
er to her than life, is now in heaven. The
father, who so basely lorsook his child, and
her whom he had sworn to cherish, is un
worthy of so sacred a trust. In the S
Bank you will find the sum of twenty thou
sand dollars deposited in the name of your
adopU d son, of which he is to come into
possession when he is legally of age, and
the interest of which is to be appropriated
to his support and education during his
minority.
To this singular letter there was neither
date nor signature. There were various
conjectures.in regard to the stranger, who
hud been in the village for some days, and
from whom it was evident this letter came,
as well as the package received the night
before.
But when Arthur recalled to his mind the
look of sad, remorseful tenderness with
which he had regarded hitr , he felt that it
must have been his father. Yet he of teu
said, as he looked into the face of his adopt
ed mother, that he wanted no dearer friends
than those he had already had. And as for
Mrs. Williams, among all the blessings that
surrounded her, there was not one that
brought her a purer joy than he whom she
had taken to the heart, when a friendless
babe, as her New Years Gift

A boy whose honesty is to be more com
mended than his ingenuity, once carried
some butter to a mercha'nt in exchange tor
goods. The butter having a beautiful ap
pearance an! the merchant desirous of pro
curing such for his own use, invited the boy
to bring him all the butter bis mother could
spare. "I don't think she can spare any
more.", said the boy, "for she said she
would not have spared this, only a rat fell
into the cream and she did like to use it
herself." ,
A person meeting with an acquaintance
after a long absence, told him ho was sur

"But," says the other, "you find the re

"Tis hard to determine," he replied,
"for the man who told me was one whose
word I would sooner take than yours."
Jennie Hamilton,a fast young girl of Mil

and together they started on a bridal tour to

commence the labor of life and love with
new views.
Old Elwes, the miser, having listened to
a very eloquent discourse on charity, re

To see a young lady walking as though a

"Oh, I don't know ma'am, without it is
because my heart leels so happy."
"Happy, are you happy? Why let me
see, you don't own a foot of land in the

"Foot of land is it?" she cried with a
loud laugh ; "Oh, what a hand ye are alter
a joke. Why, sure, I've niver a penny, let
alone a foot of land."
"Your mother is dead?"
"God rest her sowl, yis," replied Mary,
with a touch of genuine pathos. .
"The Heavens be her bed."

"Ye may well say that. It's nothing but

The Split Pig.
Somewhere . near Camden lives a man
who is not smart enough tor Jersey.
Last Fall he wanted to leave home for a
-Mh'TDr more." but- bad no on-t ulw
charge of his pig ; so he proposed to a neigh
bor that he should take the animal home
and fatten it, mkI then keep one half when
it was time to kill.
The bargain was agreed to. The pig was
tran-ferred to Smith's pen, and off went
our friend on his journey.
He was gone 01 ly a week, and the day of
his return walked over to see his pig.
lie found Mr. Smith with his shirt sleeves
rolled up, hard at work dressing a hog.
"Halloo 1" cried our friend, and a slight
suspicion entered his mind that he had been
sold. "What have you been killing?"
"Our pig," answered Smith, as cool as
an iceberg.
"Our pig ?" faltered the victim.
"Yes; I thought it fat enough to kill.
But you needn't be alarmed ; you will get
your half."
Our friend returned homo a sadder and a
wiser man. He had paid about twenty-five
dollars for a week's board for his pig.
The Eight Collar at Last.
"Let me look at some collars,' said a
gauut, rough looking fellow, addressing the
proprietor of a country store not a hundred
miles from Montreal.
"With pleasure, sir." was the response ;
and the stock of collars was shown to the
custounr, who fumbled them over, and then,
with a gesture of contempt, turned away
with tha remark that they were not the
kind he wanted.
"What kind do you want? queried the
shop keeper. "We have almost every
kind "
"Well 'it's secesh collars them's the
style for me."
"Walk right this way; we have that
kind too," was the response, as the shop
keeper unrolled about eight feet of hempen
cord, and quickly twisting it into a loop,
held it up before the astonished gaze of the
"secesher."
He had no more to say, but quietly took
his departure.
A Streak Ahead of Noah.
A dispute once arose between two Scotch
men named Campbell and McLean, upon
the antiquity of their families. The latter
