. A DEE AM OF SUMMEB.
Bland as the morning breath of June, .
Ths south went breeies play ;
And through it hase. the winter noon
Seems warm as summer's day.
The snow-plumed angel of the North
Has dropped his icy spear ;
Again the mossy earth looks forth,
Again the streams gush clear.
The fox his bill-side cell forsakes,
The muskrat leaves bis nook.
The blue-bird in the meadow brakes,
Is singing with the brook.
"Bear op, O, Mother Nature !" cry
Bird, breese. and streamlet froe,
"Our winter voices prophesy
01 summer days to thee!"
So, in those winters of the soul,
By bitter blasts and drear,
O'erawept from memory's frozen pole,
Will sunny days appear.
Reviving Hope and Faith, they show
The soul its living powers, -And
how beneath tbe winter's snow
Liegnrmsof summer flowers f
The Night is Mother ot the day,
The Winter of the Spring,
And erer upon old Decay
The greenest mosses cling.
Behind the cloud the starlight lurks.
Through showers th sunbeams fall;
For God, who loveth all His works,
Has left His Hope with all.
APEIL TOOL'S DAY.
"Well I don't think anybody can ever
deceive me again, on that day. Once in a
lifetime is enough for any sensible person to
be tricked on the first day of April." And
pretty Mabel Hughes looked djtiance of all
jokes, tossing back her sunny eurls with a
little white hand, and flashing a merry sau
cy look at the company around her.
There was quite a group of young folks,
assembled to dance the old year out, and
the new year in. Mabel Hughes took prece
dence at most of the village gathering.-, by
right of acknowledged belleship, and her
father's large hospitable house was the ren
dezvous on the present occasion. The young
folks had been discussing aniversiries, nd
while on that theme April fool's day had a
riace in the list of memorable days of the
year. Mabel had been fooled the. year be
fore by a gift of an exquisite basket con
taining apparently clusters of rich red straw
berries, far in advance of the New England
season. . With a little cry of pleasure she
had put one of the luscious locking berries
into hr mouth, to find it a painted decep
tion. Laughing, yet thoroughly in earnest,
she had vowed never again to believe in a
gift or speech of the date again.
As he uow made her speech she looked
full in the face of the supposed perpetrator
fif the last year's jokes, and was answered
by a pair of sunny frank eyes, that looked
fully equal to fun of any sort.
r can deceive you again," he declared in
answer to her implied challenge. "You
Lave no idea how pretty you looked when
you curled up your nose aud puckered your
lips over that berry."
"Why where were you ?"
"In the hall enjoying the joke."
"Weil make the most of the recollection,
lor you will never see me ia a like scrape
sgain."
"Until next April."
"Never!"
"Well see! I shall take the next three
months to invent something absolutely im
penetrable." "I defv you !"
"Hark !"
Slowly the peal of balls from the neigh
boring church sounded the midnight hour.
As the first stroke fell upon the air, the
group rose to their feet, joined bands, in a
ring, and so stood motionless till the last
echo died away. Then "Happy New Year,"
Wst simultaneously from their lips, and af
ter joyous greeting all- around, the party
separated, and the house was soon wrapped
in darkness and repose.
"So John Martyn will play me another
trick this year," thought Mabel, the next
mornitig,as she stood before her glass twist
ing the bright curls round her fingers. "He
may try his best, but he will not catch me
'gain. 1 Ieigh-ho ! he will have other things
to think of by that time, and perhaps will
furijet me altogether."
For John Martyn was going into the
orld to seek his fortune. One year ago he
tad left college, having spent his whole
small patrimony to obtain an education. He
tad left home a frank bright boy, with un
armed manners, a country bred youth in
H senses. He had come home frank and
sunny as ever, but with the quiet courtesy
f a gentleman, and an education won by in
case application during the entire college
wurse. One year he had given to home,
though alone in his cottage a trotharless
jrphan. He had not intended to stay so
ornAtium in (k'ahpl
Hughes' dark eyes that bound him to the j
rid. - j J .
until tne aa niration aeepeneu mw
neere, earnest love and then the convic
tion grew that he must win, wealth before
w dared tell his passion. '
Mr. Hughes was wealthy, a lawyer in
J1! Maetir bnt there were nine children
10 the luxurious home, and the estate would :
Pv but moderate competency to each one. j
John Martyn was not the man to woo Ma- j
wsl from her home, unless hs could offer at ,
comfort in his own, and he had drain-;
f hi purse in the year following his return
from college. Somewhere in Texas he had
V1 nncle who had written to him that he .

he had written and his nephew gladly
his invitation. He h4 remained
to see ths New Year in, but Mabel knew
his call on that day would be to say farewell
tor montfes,years, perhaps perhaps, she
thought sadly, "never to meet again.'.'
She had never questioned her heart about
John Martyn, content to take his gallant
speeches, his deferential words ; or in,
other words, his half saucy jokes, his laugh
ing badinage for the amusement of the
hour. But op that New Year's day she
was restless nervous, and excited, finding
herself talking at random to her callers,
saying yes where she should have said no,
and listening intently for a footfall and voice
that lingered away from her. At last he
came, timing his can to miss the morning
visitors, and when the luncheon tall cleared
the room of the family. Declining Mr.
Hughes' invitation to join them at the ta
ble, be kept Mabel for a few parting words.
He did not bind her, he did not ask a return
of his love ; he only told her his prospects
and hopes, and then said if he ever had a
home to offer a bride, he should come to his
native village to seek one. Very vague
this, but Mabel looking into his dark ear
nest eyes, silently resolved that his bride
should be waiting for him when he return
ed. Night found him Kpeedmg over the
iron road to New York, on the long journey
to Texas.
My little heroine spoke no word to any
one of the hope in her heart. Some day,
she thought her secret fount of hope aud
happiness might be open to her friends, but
not now not until words were given that
made her blissful dream a certainty of joy.
Three months four sped away, and one
April morning, when the feet of May were
pressing closely on the confines of the pass
ing month, Mabel had a letter all alone in
her pretty room ; she read the words, her
heart full of joyful surprise over the con
tents. - ...
John Martyn wrote a strange story. Up
on his arrival in Texas he had found h's un
cle fast sinking under a fatal disease, partly
the effect ot starvation and exposure. In a
miserable hut, with no bed but a blanket
spread upon the mud floor, half clothed
and half famished, the prematurely old man
lay dying. Shocked at such a sight,. John
had at once sent for a physician and some
comforts to the nearest station, but the old
man was so distressed at the expense, that
it was not until his nephew assured him his
own purse still held the needful funds, that
he consented to havea bed a chair, a stove,
and some medicines. For weeks he linger
ed, the young man faithfully ministering to
his wants, then died, leaving all he possess
ed, by will, to his beloved nephew, John
Martyn. The miserable hut seemed a poor
legacy, but the young man's amazement
may be imagined when he found his uncle
had left an enormous fortune scraped to
gether in a lifetime of miserly accumulation
and avaricious hoarding. After this tale,
he poured out his whole heart to Mabel,
telling of his love, his hopes, and plans.
One woid from her would bring him at once,
to her side. His uncle's affairs would keep
him a few weeks in Texas, but before let
ters could be exchanged he would be free to
hasten to her. Might be hope? If she did
not love him, silence would deal that blow
to his heart.
I cannot tell the rush of happiness that
flooded Mabel's heart as she read the letter.
She had pictured years of anxious waiting,
had let her fancy even run upon death dur
ing seperation, hid thought at best they
would be middle-aged folks before John
made his fortune, and had tried to think
how emigration to Texas would suit her lit
tle self; and now he could come home rich,
free, loving, to make her his bride. Out of
her full, loving heart, she wrote him a frank
letter, then, before taking both to gain her
parents' consent to her answer, turned to the
date, to be certain of her address. With a
quick, passionate cry, she threw the letter
far from her, and sprang from her seat. All
the joy was gone from her smiling lips, the
flush from her cheek. Pale, with a concen
trated anger blazing in her eyes, she paced
the floor, cleuching her little hands, aud
muttering, in hasty, choking accents :
unmanly! Utigentlemanly ! April Fool s
Day ! This is the result of his three months'
meditation. . Idiot I was to be so tricked by
that romantic story. I might have seen it
was copied from some old novel. Uncle dy

And try to win from me thin" and she tore
her letter into shreds as she spoke. "If I
had sent if, before looking at that date but
he shall see that his base, ungenerous trick
failed to deceive me."
Then hot tears poured down ber cheeks,
for remember &be loved him. Keener than
a knife-thrust Was the pain of thinking he
had trifled with the love she had made the
hope of her life. No true knight this, to
make a jest of the holiest, impulses of her
heart. She began to think she bad been
uu maidenly, and let him see too plainly the
affection she bore him ; and the weary day
wore away, leaving her pale and sick with
conflicting emotions and pain. A headache
will answer for pale cheeks and red eyes for
one day; but as weeks wore ou. and Mabel
became more languid and wretched each
day, her mother's fears were aroused, and
she anxiously sought for some help for her
bright, winsome child, now so dull and pal
lid. A spring and summer of intense heat
had added to the depression of Mabel's na
ture, and after much consultation, it was
decided to send her to New York for the
winter, to visit her father's sistr, and see
if city gayeties would not restore her roses.
In the meantime John Martyn waited in
Texas, watching every mail from the earli
est that could have brought a reply to his
letter, not daring to leave lest the detained
epistle might be 'ost, if sent after him. In
bis strange bewilderment at the unexpected
turn in fortune's wheel, the rush of hope
came with Mabel's image to his heart, the
anxiety to write at once, to communicate
his news, and try his fate; he had never
noticed the unfortunate date of his lmpor-
I tant letter. The foolish challenge of New

meant more than friendship. Summer heat
was warning him from lexas, and, arran

and the miserable hut.and started lor a tour
of the United estates, previous to an inten
ded trip to Europe. lie would travel and
forget this boyish love and folly.
It was on ChristraasEve.andMrs. Green
way was to give a large party, towhich all
the upper crust of New York society were
invited. Mrs.Greenway was to introduce
her niece, and when an old friend requested
permission to bring his son's college chum
a young millionaire, on a flying visit to
New York, and about to start lor Europe,
Mrs. Green way graciously gave the reques
ted permission.
So they met--' Mabel was listlessly look
ing over the room full of strange faces, try
ing to feel the interest her aunt expected in
her guests, when John Martyn entered the
room.
"Who was that, Aunt Helen? How came
he here?" she asked in an eager whisper.
"Where, my dear? Oh, that must be
the gentleman Mr. Lee was telling rue a
bout. Quite a romantic story," and she
told Mabel what she had believed to be a
cruel just.
Une part of the letter true. Was the rest
so ? The quick blood flashed through her
veins -with suffocating tpeed; her breath
came in short gasps, but with nervous self
control she stood quiet. They came forward
to greet the hostess, and as John turned
from Mrs. Greenway to acknowledge the in
troduction to her niece, his eyes fell upon
Mabel.
She did not pause to think whether it
was forward or not. With both hands ex
tended, her eyes lifted imploringly, her
whole face quivering with emotion she
said: ,
"Oh, John, was it an April joke ?"
And then the date of his letter flashed
upon his memory. With quick tact he
drew her hand through his arm and led her
toward the door.
. "Where can we be alone?" he whispered,
for she trembled violently, while the o!or
was fading from her face with alarm ipg
rapidity.
In the library. Uome.
W" ell, reader, you and I need not go to.
When, in the early spring, John Martyn
sailed for Europe, Mabel was by his side, a
fair, sunny bride, and the April day that
threatened to crush the bappinerss of two
lives, will do to recall for an old woman's
warning when silver threads creep in among
her clustering curls.
The Uame "Protestant."
The name of Protestant took its rise from
the following circumstances At a diet ot
the princes of th empire held at Spires in
Germany, in the year 1529, it was decreed
by the majority there present, that in those
places where the edict of Worms had been
received, it would be lawful for no one to
change his religion ; that in those places
where the new religion (the Lutheran) was
exercised, it should be maintained till the
meeting of a council, if the ancient (the
Popish) religion could not be restored with
out danger of disturbing the public peace ;
but that the mass should not be abolished,
nor the Catholics hindred from the free ex
ercise of their religion, nor anv one ot them
allowed to embrace Lutheranism ; that the
bacramentarians should be banished from
the empire; that the Atiabaptists should be
punished with death and that no preach
ers should explain the gospel in any other
sense than what was approved by the church.
cmx princes ot the empire introduced their
protest against this decree ; namely, John,
Elector of Saxony ; George, Margrave of
Badenburg ; Ernest and Francis, Dukes ot
Brunswick and Luenburg : Philin. Land
grave of Hesse ; YVolffgang, Prince of An
halt. To these were joined the following
free cities of Germany, namely, Strasburg,
Norinburg, Ulm, Constance, Lindon, Mem
mingen, Kenler, Nordilingen, Halibran,
Reutingen, Isus, St. Gall, Messenburg and
Windsohinn ; and from the protest., of the
Lutherans first obtained the name of Pro
testants, which was afterwards given in com
mon to all who separated ihemselves frm
the practices of the Church of Home.
One of Train's Tricks. The advocates
of women's voting have made a great parade
of the nine thousand votes cast in favor of
the measure at the election in Kansas last
fall ;. and, indeed, these votes were not with
out portentious significance of an impending
revolution in our whole social and political
system. It has since leaked out, however,
that they by no wean represent the senti
ments of as many as nine thousand Kansas
electors, but were obtained through a bar-
Jain between George Francis Train and tha
democratic leaders. Train had so ingratia
ted himself with the women's party that they
allowed him to manage matters his own way,
and he agreed with the Democrats that if
they would support the vote for women's suf
frage, he and the women's rights men would
vote against suffrage for the negroes. The
Democrats carried, but their allies did not ;
and now, of course, if the question were to
come up by itself, women's suffrage would
not probably command more than half the
votes it did.

, ' . A French Bomance.
Several months ago a young man, sales
man in one of the leading houses in Paris,
saw a young lady enter, to whom, during
the . past eight or ten days, he had sold a
number of dresses, shawls, gloves, &c. By
her account he surmised that she must be a
New York lady. The stranger was very
pretty, and naturally the young man made
himself agreeable and attentive. Whenev
er she visited the store she always address
ed herself to him, and, while examining the
articles he placed befcre her, talked much.
The day we speak of she was far less com
municative than usual ; and after having
made a somewhat hurried'sclection,she said
to the clerk :
"I shall be at the hotel in one hour ; here
is the address. Be kind enough to accom
pany t,he porter when he brings these articles.
With these words she bowed reservedly,"
and left the store.
The young man was at a loss what to
think. However, an hour later he entered
the apartment of the American lady, who
invited him ansfaco7i, like an acquaintance
of long standing, to lunch with her. Al
though thinking his customer's manners
jomcwhat strange, the clerk accepted.
While partaking of tea and cakes. the joung
lady somewhat abruptly addressed her guest,
saying: ,
4iSir, are you brave enough to protect a
woman against any insult to which she may
be subjected? Answer me with truth and
candor." . - ,
"Without conceit, I saj', yes," answered
the voung man. .
"Very well. You work in order to make
money. Is it not so ?"
"Certainly?"
' jThis is what I wish to propose. I am
alone, or almost aloue, in tha world ; my
fortune or my actions concern no one but
myself. -I wished to 6ee the exhibition and
know Paris. But I perceive that there is
nothing more difficult than for a woman to
be in your country without a protector.
You please me, and if you do not object,
you shall be my champion. I will repay
you for your lost time."
The young man tried to speak, but she
immediately resumed :
"I insist on remunerating you; this is
strictly a matter of business ; I regard it in
that ht,ht Accent or decline. Which shall
itbe?:. - , - -
:"ljiccept," answered- tha clerk, after
moment's hesitation.
"I am satisfied," continued the stranger,
"that you area gentleman, and wi 1 not
make yourself ridiculous by making love
and flattering rue, for I warn you that the
very first compliment you pay me ends our
contract. Is it agreed?"
"Madam, lam at your service."
"From to-morrow ?"
"From this moment ! I require only time
to write to my employers."
And the terms of this extraordinary com
pact were entered into by the latter.
The clerk was charming-; he proved him
'e'f intelligent, attractive, delicate, w-thout
all that small talk men generally delight to
inflict on women. Jn fact, the American
lady wa truly delighted with the choice she
had made. Two weeks ago she handed the
amiable clerk a heavy roll of bills,. and they
separated mutually pleased with each other.
But it happened as the lady was about to
embark for England, thence to embark for
America, a commissioner hastened toward
her and inquired if she was Miss X. Upon
answering in the -affirmative, he placed a
small box and a letter in her hand. The
box contained a diamond set, the letter a
few words only, but so well chosen U express
true affection that the young lady started,
not for London, but back to Paris. It is
needless to sav that the letter was from the
young clerk, who had taken this method of
returning the money forced upon him by the
young lady for services rendered. (He had
not given her hisaddress,thinking the mat
ter was ended.) He was not likely to have
returned to his former employer. Ultimate
ly she learned he had taken in another house
a situation far inferior to the one he had
formerly occupied. Probably till then she
was undecided as to her course, for when
she heard this her mind was made up. She
wrote ; he came at once. They wi 1 be mar
ried soon.
The Difference. The difference be
tween Grant and Johnson is the difference
between a law-observer and a law breaker.
Grant savs: "The law is binding on uncon
stitutional or not.until set aside by the proper
tribunal." But Johnson says: "Ihc law
is not binding on me. constitutional or oth
erwise, unless consistent with my will, or
until it is ratified by the Supreme Court."
The issue between the two men is the issue
between the President and the people.

Jem and -the Pocket Book.
"Jem, I dropped my pocket-book some
where oat here. Have you seen it?" asked
a farmer, one day, of a boy who was hoeing
potatoes for him in a field.
"No, sir," said Jem, "I have not."
"Well, suppose you help me to find it.
you look along that side of the field towards
the gate, while I look on this," rejoined Mr.
Beers, pointing in the direction shown.
"Yes, sir," said Jem, cheerfully, and
dropping his hoe in the furrow he started
along the edge of the field, carefully looking
for the lost pocket-book.
When he reached the gate he found the
farmer there before him, with the pocket
book in his hand. Jem looked pleased, and
said : "You have it, sir?"
"Yes," replied the farmer, "I have, and
I guess you knew very well where it was. I
found it right beside your dinner kettle, un
der the grass", where, I suppose, you leftit."
Jem felt the color rise to his temples and
anger burned iD his heart; but the latter he
kept down, for he was a Christian boy, and
quietly answered: "I know nothing about
your pocket-book, sir. I cannot tell how it
came to be near-my dinner kettle."
"You are very innocent, dare say," said
the farmer, with a sneer, "but facts don't
favor that opinion. I don't want suspicious
boys about my place, so you may quit as
soon as you like.
Poor Jem was dumb with surprise and
sorrow. Taking up his dinner Kettle, he
left the field and went directly home to his
mother. , He told her tha story of his mis
tortui.e,and closed by saying : "You believe
ine, mother, don't you?"
"I do, my son," she replied ; "Idon't be
lieve you coujd either lie or steal for the
best filled pock"et-look in the world."
Jem was comforted. His mother had
faith in his word, and a voice whispered,
"Jesus knows." His own heart, teo, freed
him. Though suspected of lying and dis
honesty, he was at peace, because he knew
the suspicion to be unjust.
.The farmer, believing that Jem had hid
the r;ket-book,toldthe story to his friends.
Sonierrbelieved it, but many shook their
heads and said, "It can't be. Jem has al
ways been a truthful and honest boy."
Jem felt sad to know that any thought
him guilty. But he told the story over and
over to his Heavenly Father, and was com
forted.' Jesus made him strong to bear
this eore trial. , Alter a lew days a gentleman
sent for Jem and offered to hire him. Jem
fasked if he knew about tha pocket-book.
I "Yes," said he, "I know more than you
do about it ; I saw your dog with a book in
his mouth going towards your dinner kettle.
I supposed you had sent him to do it, until
I heard this morning from Farmer Beers
that you were suspected yourself."
Thus the mystery was solved ; Jem's dog
had found and hid the pocket-book. The
boy's honor was now clear. He jiad a bet
ter place than before, and his heart was as
happy as the love of Jesus could make it.
Happy Jem ! He lived to be a very useful
man, the trusted clerk of his employer, the
support of his mother, and an honpr to the
church of God. Suppose he had been guil
ty of hiding the pocket-book, and lying
about it, would not the story of his life have
been a very different one? You know it
wo ild. Learn, therefore, to be as true.
Your life will then be happy, honorable,and
useful to yourself and the world.
Household Ornaments. Articles of
ornament in the household have 60 much
influence in the family as educators, that we
consider theui quite as importont as objects
of utility. Indeed, we should prefer to spare I

miss the articles of taste that speak to us
daily from t he walls of our home. Ti ey are
not only beautiful in themselves, but they
remind us pleasantly of the friends who
have thought of us at our household anni
versaries. Costly pictures and splendid up
holstery are well enough for those wno can
afford them, but those who possess them
are not always people of taste, and they are
by no means essential to the cultivation of
taste in U3. We may have beauty t f form
and color on a small scale and inexpensive
material, that shall kindle the imagination
and give pleasure to the feeiings quite as
effectvely as the gems of art The homes
of many who have a competence are utterly
bare of ornament. Nothing is done, noth
ing is seen within to adminster to our wants.
The whole aspect is cheerless, and one es
capes to the sunshine and verdure without,
with a feeling of relief. It is worth much
to children to have around them objects of
refinement and taste, to cultivate in them
an appreciation of the beautiful. It great
ly helps the formation of habits of .neatness
and order in them and tends to make home
cheerful and happy.
With love, the heart becomes a fair and
fertile garden glowing with sunshine and
warm hues, and exhaling sweet odors ; but
without, it is a bleak desert, covered with
ashes.

posed tew ardent spirits as a bevridge, but
