LINES :
T the memory of our Willie who departed this
lift July Uth, 18 67, aged 18 years, after a severe
Illness of nearly on year:
Li gently, on our Willie, earth,
Prest gently on hit ide ;
Eighteen yean he numbered from his birtn,
Then laid him down and died.
And let hie sleep be peaceful there.
Whose life wa wronged with pain ;
For sweet bis spirit was. and fair
His talk, like gentle rain,
itd he was braTO of son!, and true ;
Bis though U they knew no guile;
' Nor ever lell more soft the dew,
Than did his loving smile.
Patient he was, from murmur free,
Though hard his youthful lot;
Twould grieve you much his pangs to see,
And yet he murmured not.
For on his trusting spirit fell
The peace that passeth thought,
lie knew the lore of Christ full
And thence sweet wisdom eaugbt.
Tby rod and staff my comfort are,'
Thus sang oor precious boy;
'Christ leads me forth with tender aire ;
Christ light my path with joy."
''What though the Tale be dark and drear,"
So ran our Willie's song;
"I'll pass it still, and feel no fear.
. For Christ will make me strong."
Such Was onr Willie, such his plan,
And such the breath he drew ;
Thus wise was he, our little man.
Though sad bis days, and few.
So grew the leaf, the bud, the flower:
, And house and walk and ihade,
were bright and happy, with the power
Of love and sweetness made.
And grief, it was a grief most rare,
To see our blo.om fall ;
We nilns bim here, we miss him there,
Bat hupe brings strength to all.
We call, he answers not the while ;
His thoughts we cannot measure ;
This home is beet," he seems to smile,
Our lost yet living treasure.
Then lightly press. O, esrth, his breast.
And o'er biui softly blo-v
Te winds, and peaceful b hi rest
Down in the grave so low. Hattib.
CaWonia.Hlk oo., Jan. 1, 1808. ;
Solomon's Throne.
The futlowiog account of this remarkable
pieve of wechauisui purports to be taken
from the Fersian manuscript, called "The
1 1 wtory of J cr usale in : "
The fidea of it were of pure gold, the
leet of Emeralds and rubies inter mixed with
pearls, each of which were as large as an
ostrich's egg. The throne had seven sided ;
oo each Bide were delineated orchards full or'
trees,the branches of which were of precious
feiOuets, representing fruit, ripe and unripe ;
on the tops of the trees were to be seen fig
ures of plumage birds, particularly the pea
cock, the etauh and kargca. All these birds
were hollowed within artificially, so as to oc
casionally utter melodious sounds, such as
the ear of mortal never heard. On the first
step were delineated vine branches hav
ing large bunenes of grapes, composed of
precious stones of various kinds, fashioned
la tuch a manner as to represent the various
colors of purple, violet, green and red, so as
to render the appearance of real fruit. On
the seeond step, on each side of the throne,
were two lions of terrible aspect, large as
life and formed of cast gold.
The nature of this remarkable throne was
such that when Solomon placed his foot on
the first step, the birds 8pread their wings
and made a fluttering noise in the air. Ou
Lis reaching the third step, the whole as
semblage of demons, and fairies, and men
repeated the praises of the Deity When
he arrived at the fourth step, voices were
heard addressing him in the following man
ner: "Son of David, be thankful for the
bleMsingt which, the Almighty has bestowed
Vipon us." The same was repeated on his
reaching the fifth step. On his reaching
the sixth step, all of the children of Israel
joined them ; aud on his arrival at the sev
enth, all the birds and animals became in
motion, and ceased not Until he had placed
himself on the royal seat, when the birds, !
ncart at.a oiner animals, rjy secret springs,
discharged a shower of the most precious
perfumes on Solomon, after which two of
the karges descended and placed the golden
crown upon his head.
Before the throne was a column of bur
nished gold.on the top of which was a golden
dove, which held in its beak a volume round
in silver. In this book were written the
Psalms of David, and the dove having pre
sented the book to the King, he read aloud
portion of it to the children of Israel. It
is further related that on the approach of
vil persons to the throne, the lions were
wont to set up a terrible roar, and to lash
their tails with violence t the birds also, and
the demons and genii to utter horrid cries ;
t for fear of them, no one dared be guilty
f falsehood, but all confessed their crimes,
pach was the throne of Solomon, the son of
David.
. A Venerable Man. There is now liy
'Di in a cabin stending on a narrow alley in
Poor quarter of Detroit, a man who has
webrated his one hundred and thirteenth
birthday. "Old Father Robinson" was born
n the plantation of Col Du Chielle. of
Extern Maryland, in 1753. The Colonel
rved in the Revolutionary army. Robin
f accompanied him as body-servant, los
'nga forefineer and receiving a sabre cut on
the head. He was present at the surrender
? Cornwallis. He also had the luck to be
'? the battle of New Orleans, in 1815. Un-
fortnight ago, he kept his memory,
nd told his stories of the wars to many of
'he rich ladies of Detroit. Robinson was
tomimiued nearly forty years ago. Very
ntly, his eyesight and hearing have be
frs uf-il. He himself says : Thestock is
Miiost run down."

FELIX AITO THE PIBE-PLY.
fkok the SEEK AN.
On the evening of a sultry Summer's day,
Mary, a poor widow, was seated by the win
dow of her little room, and was looking out
on the orchard that surrounded her cottage.
The grass, which had been mown that morn
ing, was made up iuto cocks, and the delight
fuland refreshing perfume was wafted in at
the window. The sky was clear and cloud,
less, and moon shone into the room, casting
the shadow of the windows and the vines
which surrounded them an the floor.
Her little Felix, a child of six years old,
was standing near her, and bis blooming
face aud golden hair were lighted by the
moon.
Tha poor young widow sat there to rest
herself, but great as the labor of this hot
day had been to her body, a still greater
pain oppressed her mind, and made her for
getful of her weariness. There stood by her
a basin of milk and bread, of which she had
scarcely tasted a spoonful. Felix was quite
disturbed, and did not play or make any
noise, because he saw his mother so unhappy.
He also, on observing that she wept bitter
ly, instead of eating hs supper, had laid his
spoon aside, and his little earthen basin
stood nearly full on the table.
Mary had become a widow in the begin
ning of the Spring. Her husband, one of
the best voung men in the village, had laid
by so much money by his industry, and fru
gality that he had bought this little cottage
and orchard, but had not quite enough to
pay for them. The poor man had planted
the green with young fruit-trees, which al
ready bore fine fruit. He had chosen for
his wife, Mary, an orphan, a pious and in
dustrious young woman, who had been well
brought up. They were living happily to
gether when the typhus fever came, and the
husband died. Mary too, who had nursed
him through his illness with the greatest
care, took the fever, and was very near join
ing him in death.
On recovering from her illness she found
her circumstances were very bad. Still she
hoped not to be obliged to quit her cottage.
Her husband had long been in the service of
a rich farmer, who had valued and respect
ed him for his industry, fidelity, and good
character, and who when he bought this
house and garden, had lent him 300 florins,
on condition of beii-g repaid twenty-five flo
rins yearly. This had been puctually paid
every year until the time of his illness, and
the debt now only amounted to fifty florins,
as Mary knew very well. The farmer also
died of the fever. His heir, the daughter's
husband, found the bond for 300 florins
among his father-iu-law's papers. He knew
nothing of the circumstances, and demanded
the whole sum of the widow.
The poor woman assured him that her
husband had paid 250 florins, but this avail
ed her nothing. The young farmer did not
believe her, and took her before a magistrate.
As she could give no proof that any part of
the sum had been paid, she was declared li
able for the whole debt; the young farmer
was impatient for his money, and as poor
Mary had nothing but her cottage and gar
den, these must be sold to meet the demand.
She had implored the farmer to have pity
on her; her little Felix joined his entrea
ties to hers, but all in vain.and she had new,
just an hour before her day's work was, en
ded, learned from a neighbor that the sale
was appointed for the following morning.
It was on this account that she was sitting
so mournfully at the window, looking some
times up to heaven, and then again at her
little boy; at one moment weeping bitterly,
and the next plunged in the deepest melan
choly. "Ah," said she within herself "I have
made hay to-day tor the last time in my lit
tle garden ; the first yellow plums which I
plucked to-day for my Felix are the last that
my child will ever enjoy from the tree which
his father planted for him ; perhaps this is
the last night we shall spend under this roof.
To-morrow the house will be the property of
another ; and who knows whether we may
not be turned out immediately? Where
shall we find shelter to-morrow? Perhaps
we may have no roof to cover us?" And
she began to sob violently.
Felix, who till now had not stirred, eame
nearer, and said, "Mother, do not weep so
bitterly. Do you not know what my father
said when he lay dying on his bed ? 'Do
not weeD,' said he ; God is the father of
the widow and the orphan : call upon Him
in the time of trouble, and He will take
care of you. ' He aid so ; is it not trne ?' '
"Yes dear child," said Mary, "it bin
deed true."
"Well then," said Felix, "why do you
cry so? Pray to God, and He will help you.
O, when I was with my father in the forests
and he was cutting wood, if I was hungry,
or if a thorn had run into me, 1 did not cry
a good deal ; I went to my father (for he was
then alive), and he gave me bread, or he
took out the thorn. And God is our Fath
er, and will He not help us, His children ?"
"Yes," said the poor mother, still crying.
"My father often said the whole world
wasGod'8; then why should we weep?
Come, mother, let us pray to God : He will
certainly help us."
"My dear child, you are in the right,
said Mary, and her tears were somewhat
moderated, and comfort began Jo take the
nlane of crief. She knelt down and raised
her eyes and hands to heaven ; and the littler
child did so too. Mary began to pray, ana
Felix repeated each word after her.
- "Holy and Heavenly Father," said she,
"look upon the widow and her child. A
poor widow and a poor orphan look up to
Thee we are in great want, and have no
refuge on earth. We pray toThee that Thou
wilt not suffer Us to sink -under onr sorrows ;
but if, in Thy wisdom, Thou seest fit to af
flict us, help us at least to find another
home; and give lis comfort in our hearts,
and true confidence in Thee, through our
Lord Jesus Christ. .
Mary's sobs prevented her from proceed
ing; she looked towards heaven, and wnssi
lent; when Felix who was still by her side
in the attitude of prayer, jumped up, and
stretching out his hands exclaimed : "O,
mother, what is that? There is a little light
hovering there ; it is a star flying. See it is
hovering about the window 1 O, see, it is
coming in 1 How beautiful it shines 1 It is
like a green light. It is almost as beautiful
as the evening star. Look, now it is hover
ing about the ceiling. It is very wonder
ful." "That is a fire-fly, my child," said Mary;
"by day it is a mean little insect ; and by
night it is Very beautiful."
"May I catch it?" said the child. "Will
it not hurt me, and shall I not be hurt b
the light?"
"It will not burn you," said Mary, and
she smiled through her tears ; "catch it and
examine it carefully without hurting it: it,
is one of the wonderful works of God."
Felix had now forgotten all his sorrow,
and tried to catch the glittering fly, which
was at one moment under the table, and at
another under the chair, and sometimes
near the flocr.
"But, O dear!" said the child, for the fly
had concealed itself behind the great chest
that stood agaiust the wall, at the moment
when he held out his hand to catch it.
He looked under the chest. " see it
very plainly," said he, "there it sits, close
to the wall ; and the white wall and the floor,
and the dust shine quite bright around it,
just as if the moon were shining on them.
But i cannot reach it, my arm is not long
euough."
"Have patience," said Mary; "it will
soon come out again."
The chikl waited a little while, and then
went to his mother, and in a gentle entreat
ing tone of voieesaid, "O mother, do reach
it for me, or move out the chest a little
from the wall, aud then I can easily catch
it."
Mary stood up and moved the chest, and
Felix took the lire-fly, and looked at it as he
held it in the " hollow of his hand, and it
gave him as much pleasure as another would
have derived from the purest diamond.
But Mary's attention was directed to an
other object. In moving the chest, some
thing which was between it and the wall had
fallen to the ground. She picked it up, and
uttered a loud cry, and said, "God has
brought us through our troubles! This is
the last year's almanac which I had sought
for so long in vain. I thought it had been
destroyed by some of those who were here
during my long illness, and who, durinsr the
time that I lay almost without recollection
did not take the best care of my house. We
shall now find that my husband paid the
money that i demanded of me. Who would
ever have thought that the almanac lay be
hind the chest that he bought with the
house, and which has probably never been
moved since it was first placed where it
stands?" .
She instantly lighted a candle, and looked
over ths almanac with tears of thankfulness
running down hercheeks. All was regular
ly entered ; what her husband still owed at
the beginning of the year, and what he had
paid off by his work and in cash. At the end
of the account were a few words written by
the old farmer: "At Martinmas I settled
accounts with John Blun, and he only owes
me fifty florins." Mary clasped her hands
with joy, embraced her child, and exclaimed
with rapture, "O Felix, thank God with
me, for we shall not be turned out ; we shall
not have to quit our home."
"Did I not say po?" said the child : "now
this is owing to me. If I had uot begged
you to move the chest you would never have
found the almanac."
But Mary said, "My child, it is God's
doings, not yours. I feel overpowered with
awe and thankfulness when I think of it.
Even whilst we were praying He sent that
brilliant fly, and by its light pointed out to
us the very place where those papers lay con
ceah d. Yes, God indeed directs all things.
Without His knowledge not a hair fa Is
from our heads. Remember this as long as
you live, and trust to Him always, especial
ly in times of distress. He does not require
an angel to help Him, but can use a little
fly as a messenger of His mercy. And how
soon has He answered our prayer 1 O my
child, let us never forget to pray to Him !"
Early the next morning Mary went to the
magistrate, who caused the farmer to be
brought before him. When he saw the pa
per, ne could not help feeling ashamed of
his unkind behavior; and when the poor
woman proceeded to relate the whole story
of her prayer, and the entrance of the fire
fly, he became much affected, and exclaim
ed with tears in his eyes, "Yes, it is indeed
true that God is (he Fatherof the widow
and the fatherless. He is also their aven
ger. Forgive the cruelty I have used to
wards you. And now to recompense the
injury I have done yon, keep the remaining
fifty florins, and if ever you shou d be in
want, come to me, and I will always help
you. I see clearly that whosoever trusts in
God will never be forsaken."
Only love and fear the Lord,
Serve Him still in faith and prayer,
Do His will, and keep His word,
, God will for His chidren care.

Caught in my Own Trap. -Dora
and I had been silent fully fifteen
minutes an unusual occurrence for us
when she suddenly broke out into one of her
gayest, sweetest peais of laughter. The
cars were going at the rate of forty miles an
hour, Dura s laugh rang out above all their
noise and confusion. ""
"What is it Dora, yon witch you?" I
said, half piqued that she had not at first
told me what pleased her, and laughed af
terwards. "Nothing, Nell, only I was just thinking
of something funny. Do you see that gen
tleman just in front of us with the beautiful
black whiskers and dreamy brown eyes?
Well, he's been watching you behind that
book for the last half hour, looking as if he
would love to take a bit of the red roses on
your cheeks. Don't blush; but he's in
love with you ; I'll bet my gold thimble on
it. I was just thinking ot some of the sto
ries I have read about young ladies mistak
ing handsome young fellows for their broth
ers, &c, and thought what fun it would be
if you could only manage to mistake that
gentleman for your brother Fred."
I was ready for fun in a moment.
"Tell you what I'll do," I broke out ea
gerly. "You know I haven't seeu rred
since I went to schooll three years ago ; and
of course he's changed a great ceal since
then. Well, if that literary gentleman with
brown eyes (he is handsome, isu't he, Do
ra ?) should get off at our station. 1,11 wait
till he gets mixed up in the crowd, sue him
suddenly for the first time, rush up to him
in a flutter of delight, cad him brother
Fred, and give him such a kissing as he
hasn't had since he saw his sweetheart
last.';
"Yes, I would, if I were you," sail Do
ra, sarcastically. "You daren't you know."
"Dou 1 1 dare , though 1 Wait and se.
And so I dropped back into the cu-biun
in silence till the train stopped at our sta
tion. Dora gave me a wicked look, and whis
pered that she knew my courage woul;l fail
me, for the gentleman was really getting off.
I was not to .be triumphed over though ;
and so, as we stepped out on the platform,
raw the literary gentleman standing amid
the crowd, and with a little bound threw
myself in his arms and kissed him fall in
the mouth, hysterically exclaiming :
"Fred, my dear brother, how do you do ?"
I caught a glimpse of Dora she was in
danger of going into convulsions. I was ex
pecting to hear the stranger say, confusedly,
that there was some mistake : but to my
surprise, he gave me a hearty embrace, kis
sed me two or three times, said he was well,
and that I had grown a great deal, inquired
for my little friend Dora who, all this time
was exciting the sympathies of the crowd,
a3, they supposed she was insane, judging
from her frantic laughter.
"Father and mother are expecting you,
Nellie, and are m impatient they can scarce
ly wait to see you. I was afraid you would
not know me, but I am really glad that my
image has been treasured up so carefully in
my sister's heart."
I was bewildered beyond measure. It re
ally was Fred, then, and I had not known
him ! 1 felt slightly ridiculous, and while
introducing Dora to my brother, whispered
her to keep quite in reference to my intend
ed trick.
I was too much confused to think of in
quiring how be came to be in the cars with
out seeing me ; so we all went to tne car
riage which was in waiting for us, and drove
rapidly to our home.
I had never known Fred to be so affec
tionate, He held my hands in his own all
the time, kissed me at unnecessary inter
vals ; but, to tell the truth 1 had never lov
ed him half so well before never thought
him half so handsome.
We reached the gate. Mother kissed mc
and cried over me ; father repeated it ; and
finally a frank, hearty voice spoke out with.
"Hallo, sis ! aren't you going to notice
your scapegrace of a brother at all?"
And to my astonishment a handsome fel
low I had not yet seen gave me a genuine
hug and kiss that you could have heard a
cross the yard.
"There is some mistake," I murmured ;
"are you my brother Fred? I thought that
gentleman was," pointing at the handsome
gentleman I had embraced at the depot.
"Why sis, you are crazy ! Of course I'm
your brother, and that fellow there is my
college chum, Archie Winters, who went
half way up the line to meet you. What
are you blushing at, Nell? I didn't have
time to go, and let him take your picture
with him, so that he would be sure and kuow
you. He's been playing off some of his mad
pranks, and passing himself off for me 1 11
I looked at Archie Winters beseechingly ;
and as they were all going into the house I
whispered to him :
"Far pity's sake, do not speak or that
mistake. How could it have happened ?"
"I overheard you in the cars, and( Will
keep your secret only on one condition."
He whispered something to me that made
my face flush scarlet ; but I was at his mer
cy, and said that I would think of it,reader,
and to the delight of the whole family Do
ra and Fred in particular Archie and I
were married in less than two months. And
Dora said to me as I bade her god bye,
that it would give unspeakable delight to
Fred and herself if I would attend their
wedding in a month, and I did so.
