THE XOVED KOT LOST.
a0m strange It seems with so much gone
Of life and love, to still live on !
Ah, brother, only I and thou
Ari left of thatcirole. now
The dear home-faces whereupon
That fitful firelight paled and shone.
Henceforward, hasten as we will, '
The Toicea of that hearth are still ;
look where we may the wide earth o'er,
Those lighted faoes shine no more,
We tread the paths their feet hare worn,
We fit beneath their orchard trees,
We hear like them the hum of bees
And rustle of the bladed corn.
We turn the pages they read,
Their written words, we linger or,
Bat in the sun they east no shade, : ,
No roiee is heard, no sign is made,
Jo ilflji T? on the conscious floor !
Yet love will dream, and faith will trust,
Since be who knows bur need Is'just :
'rpj. -it somehow, somewhere, meet we must.
7' t0t him who never sees
- shine through bis cypress trees !
lhrlKs the breaking day,
Asn-s the mourrJulmarbles play !
Who hath not learnt " hours of faitE,
The truth to flesh and t'ense unknown,
That Life is ever Ixrd of .oeatn,
.And love can never lose its oO.
A FATAL MISTAKE.
It a pretty "little brown Louse, with
-plate-glass windows, and fancifully paryed
cornice, while the green plumes of the .eJi
suihas trees brushed softly against the roof,
m if tremulously anxious to remind people
that summer was in its golden prime. At
least such was the impression conveyed by
xheir unsjllablcd murmur to Adrian JMorley,
'16 he2me up the steps, and dexterously fit
ted hit) night key into the paneled rosewood
door.
"Well,'; quoth Adrian to himself, "it is
pleasant to-have a . home to come to when
the day's weary work is over!"
And a home-like room is what he entered.
And Mrs. Morley, in her delicate little sew
ing chair, with rainbow-hued avalanche of
Berlin wools about her, was toying with her
needle while her thoughts were far away.
She was a rosy, brown-eyed little creature,
with full red lips, cheeks round and smooth
as early peaches, and silky brown hair wav
ing over her forehead in natural ripples a
wife of whom a tolerably reasonable man
might well be proud. -But just at this mo
ment there was a discontented curve to the
mouth, a droop in the fringed eyelids, that
Mr. Morley understood too well.
"Grade, what's the matter?"
"Matter? nothinc onlv 'I'm tired to
death of being penned up here in the -city;
when everybody one knows is oil having a;
feason of change."
Adrian Mork-v sat down bv the window.
rather dispirited and began fanning himself
with a cover of a book.
"1 thought we had discussed and decided
that matter long ago, Grace ?"
answer ; Grace s eyelids only fell a de
cree liiwer.
t "Grace, I say don t you hear me r
'"Ves, I hear you."
"Well, then, do pay a little attention
"hen a fellow U speaking to you. ' ' Adrian's
tunny good temper was becoming a little
chilled. '"Tou remember that I told you
how very inconvenient it would be for me
to leave town this season nay almost im
possible?" 'lhe Grangers have gone.
'Possibly b it Granger is not in business.1
"And Mrs. Erhardt."
''Yea: her husband don't care whether
his law office is open or shut, as long as he
can help himself from the long purse."

"I am only speaking the truth, my dear."
"But it is so stupid here and all my
dresses are hanging useless in the wardrobe. ' '
"Can't you dress here as well as at a fash
ionable watering place ?"
'"Nonsense, Adrian 1you .-know what I
mean perfectly well. There's nobody in
ton to appreciate a handsome toilette, and
-and-"
Adrian Morley sprang to his feet and be
gan pacing impatiently up and down the
room.
"Grace you're not ridiculous enough to
fry over such tin absurd grievance as this ?"
ft s too bad to cramp me up here when
Grace did not say as she thought, when
'my pretty face and winning manners would
create such a sensation in fashionable circles
-she stopped short instead, and retreated
behind her embroidered pocket handker
chief in a flocd of tears.
. "But Grace, arn't we very happy here,
our snug little home ?"
You may be, but I am miserable." .
, 'Miserable ! Oh Grace ! when I should
Jsh no greater happiness than to sit down
here by your side, niffht after uicht. and lis

just as I used to do in the courting days.

Ixrace my little wife are we less dear to

"I am wearied to death by this humdrum
'hfe, Adrian," pouted Grace, "and some
change I must and will have 1"
Lhange may not be for the better, Grace.
u'I don't care whether it is or not."
And you know what very disastrous cir-
'-umstances may ensue from my neglect of
business insr. nnv "
"TW. .. .,rr T
believe thero'a a nrnnl nf trnth in it."
Adrian was silent for a moment. He
stood with contracted brow evidently con
sidering. . 1 am sorry I have not made home a lit
..n0re P8011 to you, Grace."
. Home," repeated Mrs. Morley petulent
f Vything but a man who is 'always
Harping about home ; I often wish there
auo8uch word."
, "Would it really add so much to your
Wpinesa to tpend a month at Saratoga or
Newport V
"Oh, Adrian, I should enjoy it so much 1"
Iler eyes were sparkling now and the eoft
coior rose to her cheek, 'Will you take me
there, Adrian f
"If you insist upon it but remember
that I don t at all approve of the arrange
ment."
"Oh, I'll assume all the responsibility,"
laughed Grace, merrily. "And when shall
we go?"
"When you please:"
"I could be ready by Monday."
i ou are in a great haste to leave your
pleasant home, Grace ; 1 wish 1 could sum
mon up an equal fervor of enthusiasm."
Grace put her hand on his shoulder, and
leaned down to Deep archlv into his face.
"What a darling, old-fashioned fellow you
are, Adrian ! I shall spend this summer in
trying to make a modern husband or you.
"Do you think the modern article would
be preferable ?" smiled Adrian.
,.f"0h, infinitely f And now dou't talk to
me ; I must make out a list of things to be
purchased. Only think that I'm really
equipping for a summer at the Springs 1"
And she clasped her hands so gleefully,
that Adrian had not the heart to damp her
bright anticipations with his own indefinite
misgivings.
"The prettiest woman at the Springs, by
all odds.- .
"Who is sire?"
"Mrs. Morley, of New (York. Nobody
ever heard of her before, butane has flash
ed into society like a meteor. The young
fellows are all infatuated about her, and not
without good rcaMn."
Grace Morley' s cheek flushed with con
scious triumph, as she heard these words,
half snoken. haif whispered, in her stately
sweep through the long piazza from a moon
light drive with the most stylish young cav
alier at the hotel. And she did look very
lovelv in her drfls of uC?o blue grenadine,
floating around her like afure billows, with
a fleecy white shawl drooping fro2? uer snoui-
ders and the showy plume of a jaunty Jittle
fepanih hat hanging low over the rippled
luxuriance of her golden brown hair.
Yes, Mrs. Morley was a belle at last! and
most completely did she enjoy the intoxica
lliiit atmosphere of flattery and adulation
thai surrounded her every footstep.
"Well, Grace, what sort of a time have
jou had?"
Adrian was 1 lunging under the gaslight
in their room with a half read volume in
his lap, looking tho very victim of hopeless
ennui.
"Oh, delightful ! But Adrian, how bored
you look 1
Vo more so than 1 leel, 1 am quite cer
tain." "I wish you would 4ry and enjoy 3'ourself
a little."
.-"How.?"
"Play billiards suicfce do as other gen
tlemen do."
Adrian Morley openedliislmok once more
with a tremulous yawn, as Grace l-egan to
Unfasten her bat and brush out the disor
dered w'asses of her hair. To him Saratoga
was nothing more nor less than vexatien of
spirit ; but for Grace's sake he was patient
ly willing to be bored.
"Don t you think it is almost time to re
turn home, Grace?"
" Adrian, what -an idea ! Not for two
weeks yet. The gayest "season is yet to
coue."
"Two weeks !" sighed poor Adrian. "It
is a long time." .
" No time at all," said Grace, positively.
" It will soon pass."
Alas ! had Grace Morley but dreamed of
the years of anguish and despair that Were
to hinge upon those two weeks !
As the days passed on she f-aw less and
less of her husband. He was uo longer
wearily awaiting the coming of hir foot
steps from drive or walk no longer leaning
dreamily against the window of the ball
room, watching her flying figure as she float
ed by him in waltz or polka ; nor did Mrs.
Morlev reeret the gradual change.
"I am so glad he has found some way of
amusing himself, she thought. It was
such a nuisance to have him every few min
utes asking if I were net ready to go home."
She was returmeg from an evening stroll,
a night or two subsequently, w bar prettiest
toilette of blue silk aiid white opera, cloak,
with her little hand resting lightly on Mr.
Ardenhaiu's arm, when she suddenly stop
ped close to the dense wall of shrubbery
that half concealed the brilliant sparkle of
lighted windows and doors of a show build
ing just on the outskirts of the grounds. -
I have dropped my fan, Mr. Ardenham
how could I be so careless?"
" Rest vourself a moment on this rustic
seat Mrs. Morley," said Ardenham gallant
ly, and I will go back for it in halt a unn
ute."
Frank Ardenham went off, vowing that
Mrs. Morlev's fan was worth any degree of
trouble that icould by any possibility be be
stowed unoo it. 'and Grace waiting nis re
turn, mechanically playing with the fasten
ing of her pale blue glove.
Suddenlv the loud, discordant tumult of
voices struck upon her ear as a party of men
issued from a lighted door beyond, the shrub
bery. In the moonlight she could see their
flushed faces quite plainly and she invol
untarily recoiled further back into the shad
ow, although she was aware of being quite
invisible. v
"Hush! what's that?" said one pausing
as a loud fierce shout rose high above the
bedlam of voices within the gambling bouse,
for such Mrs. Morley knew it to be.
" It's only Morley," returned another.de
liberately biting off the end of a cigar.
" I fancy he's pretty well over the bay to
night." Drunk, is he?"
"Just that and playing as if there was
an evil spirit at his elbow. The thousands
are slipping out of his hands like quick
silver to-night."
'" I'm very sorry, Mrs. Morley, said Mr.
Ardenham, coming to her side a moment
aiterwara ; put jl cannot rind the tan any
where, l will take a second look for it to
morrow."
"It it is of noconsequencei" said Grace,
in a low. strange voice. " riease take me
home, 31 r. Ardenham."
And Frank Ardenham obeyed, marveling
much at the sudden change that had come
over hid beautiful companion's spirits.
Iler adieuxin the parlor were brief enough
ere she hurried up stairs, With her feverish
blood beating like pulses of fire in her veins.
She sat down, 6ick and trembling, uuder
the white glare or the gaslight, ana tried to
realize the full horror of her situation.
Adrian Morley, her husband, was a drunk
ard and a gambler ! Was it all a dream or
was it indeed true that she had waked to
this horrible reality of grief and shame and
yet live on ?
As she bowed her head on her hand with
a low shivering groan, a new phantom of re
morseful agony rose solemnly up beforo the
accusing judgment seat of her open con
science. "It has been my fault all my own fault,"
she wailed aloud. "If I had not torn him
from the home to which he was so tenderly
attached if I had not kept him here to
gratify my own individual vanity,this would
never have been. O, God 1 the punishment
is greater than I can bear."
And she remembered with a sick heart
the arguments the had used to win him
away from home the eagerness with which
Mie had resumed all the responsibility of the
thange the very words she had spoken in
her reckless folly.
"I teld him that I was miserable at home."
she thought. "Miserable! iflh-dknown
the meaning of the word. But to-morrow
I will beg lib. ott my beuded knees to re
turn once "more I will tell hixn how foolish
I have been how mad. And perhaps per
haps we may be happy in our quiet honae
once more. Uh ! it 1 had never Jelt it.
"One, two, three!"
As the little clock sharply spoke out tie
hour, Grace Morley started to her feet.
" What iletams him so ? What can keep
him away from me? I will go myself and
look for him."
She drew the white opera cloak rouhd'her
shoulders, and hurried with trembling liiiiba
towards the door.
But while her touch was on the handle, vt
swung; rudely open, ana a croup ot men
came in bearing something prone and life
less in meir miaas. m-.. ,,
And Grace Morlev. while all the blood in
her veins seemed frozen into ice, knew that
she was looking into her dead husband's
face! '
" Take care of the lady she s fainted,
said a i-ude voice. " Doctor you better see
to her." . .
But the had not fainted. W hue, speech
less, powerless as she was, the blessed relief
of insensibility had been denied the bereav
ed wife ; she saw and heard with agonizing
distinctness, all that passed around her.
li;s wite ! said the young surgeou.pity-
insly. "I did not know that he was a mar
ried man. She should have been prepared
for thif. Poor creature poor crushed crea
ture ! Lay down the dead man, Somers,
and come here. He is past help now. Call
in the women rnd take away that mob of
Btaringmen."
As the pungent breath or some power! ui
restorative crossed her senses, Grace fainted
in the young surgeon s supporting arms
life and consciousness could not uphold their
domain against the great billows - of agony
that wore sweeping across her soul.
When she came to her senses the first ob
ject on which her eyes rested was the kind
race ot the j'oung doctor. v ith a convul
sive effort 6he strove to start from her couch.
"Gently gently-," said the young man.
"Lie still a littk Jeger ; you are hardly
strong enoKgh to rise yet. " -
"Tell me !" she gasped with colorless lips,
"tell merll."
"Not yet;you will be stronger presently."
"Iknow it all," she moaned. "He's
dead, but how?"
The surgeon saw' that 'ccnoealment would
be in vain ; he bent over "her sefii with a
pitying gentleness.
" Your husband had lost everything he
possessed at the gambling table, and in a fit
of despair, partially aggravated by the influ
ence of liquor, shot fiimsself through the
temples. Your friends have been telegraph
ed for, and will soon arrive. In the mean
time, perfect quiet is what you most need
it may avert the syraptoies of brain fever
that are impending.'
Contrary to the doctor s expectations, she
neither screamed nor wept, but lay silent and
voiceless as a statue.
" She takes it easily," thought he. Ah,
could he have seen into the depth of her
broken, crushed heart.
A few days afterwards she returned to
the home she had been so eager to abandon,
only to mourn with the bitterest remorse that
one fatal mistake which had darkened her
whole existence with its baneful shadow.

Laying up for Children.
Parental affection naturally inauires what
f 5"fcan test do for the welfare ot its children
in future years, and when the bosom which
now throbs with love to its offspring bhall
be cold in death. Many plans are laid, and
many hours of anxious solicitude are spent in
contriving ways and means of rendering chil
dren prosperous and happy in future life.
Uut parents are not always wise in the pro
visions which thev seek to make for their
children ; nor do they always seek direction
and counsel from God in this matter. The
best inheritance forchildren, beyond all con
tradiction, is true piety towards God,the sal
utary truths and principles of relitrion laid
op in the hearts of children a good educa
tion good and virtuous habits Min bending
principles of moral conduct the fear of
God, and the hope of heaven. This is the
inheritance for children, and which all pa
rents should be most anxious to lay up for
them.
Many an unwise parent works hard and
lives sparingly all his life, for the purpose
of leaving enough to give his children a
start in the world, .s it is called. Setting a
young man afloat with . money 4eft him by
his relatives, is like tying bladders under
the arms of one who cannot swim ; ten
chances to ons he will lose the bladders, or
go to the bottom. Teach hiin to swim, and
he will not need the bladders. .
Give your children a sound education.
See to it that his morals are pure, his mind
cultivated and his whole nature made sub
servient to the laws Which govern man, and
you have given what will be taere . valuable
than the wealth of the Indies. You have
given him a start which no misfortune can
deprive him of. The earlier you teach him
to depend upon his own resonroes and the
blessing of God the better.
Ax Unpublished Incident oftheReb-:
ElConuress. It is stated that a few months
before the fall of Richmond, Va., while the
rebel Congress was deeply concerned about
the crttelty and barbarity of the North, a
woman of that city walked into the House
of Representatives and attacked three mem
bers with a cowhide, castigating them mer
cilessly. At last the Speaker caught the
Tirago in his arms, and held here until she
went into hysterics. She said her inten
tion was to chastise the entire body because
of its abuse of the North, and she made a
very good commencement certainly. After
her departure the House passed a resolution
that the body recommend to the press the
impropriety of making public the unhappy
incident, as a matter calculated to bring re
proach upon the dignity of Southern legis
lators. The Richmond papers never men
tioned the unhappy circumstance, and only
recently was the story told by a rcconstruc
tedjnember of the defunct House.
A boy near Buffalo accidentally shot him
self, and the ball remained nine months in
his brain, when he began to recover from
the almost death-like condition into which
he was thrown. It was some time before
consciousness returned to the boy.but grad
ually his senses came back.and he recognized
his friends. But his power of speech was
gone he could not, with the exception of a
disjointed word or two, talk atall.and the pow
er to read was gone entirely from him : yet,
strange to say, his arithmetical powers were
not only preserved, but appeared to be in
creased wonderfully. He could figure up,
with marvelous csplerity, very difficult prob
lems ; in fact, the losa of the organ of speech
seemed to be counterbalanced by the in
creased power of calculation.
