tUs question Whiteloek had nothing

THE OLD GAEDENER'S E0SE3UD.
"Ah ! Miss Issy you're looking as fresh
and swate as the rosebuds this morning."
. "O ! not near so nice as they, Jimmy.
See, here's a white one all covered with
dew; thefirst. Oh! mayl have it Jimmy ?"
"Shure you've a right to yer own. Miss ;
shure you can have it if you wish ; here, let
me cut itforyc;" the old man bent forward,
taking his garden shears, and carefully and
tenderly severed the beautiful flower.
"It's like a little" child, though, a swate
little child oh ! shure an' it's no wonder I
love the roses," he murmured, as he held
it toward the white, dimpled fingers of the
pretty Issy.
' O ! isn't it lovely! God i good.isn't He,
to make these beautiful flowers just for us?
It makes me love God," she added, fervent
ly.
"Ah ! well ye may say, Miss well ye may
say," replied the gardener, leaning on his
spade. "On e was he time, Miss Issy, I
cared as little for the flowers as I did for
the sod, and worked it because it brought
me my weekly wages. But now I don't do
that, miss," and the blue eyes of the -old
man traveled up along the calm heavens,
while a gentle smile hovered upon the edges
of his thin lips.
"What are you doing this morning, Jim
my !" queried the child.
"Doin" miss? transplanting some slips
of the same kind o' roses ye' re holdin' in yer
hands, Miss Issy. By next summer, .the
Lord williu' if I'm still alive, I'll cut ye off
some flowers as pretty as the one ye have."
"Jimmy, how old are you?" asked the in
quisitive child, hovering about the old man
and watching every movement that he made.
"How ould am I, miss?" Come nixt
C'hri.-tmas I'll be seventy-one years, glory
be to His na ne," answered the old man,
taking of his battered hat and smoothing
back the white, curling locks from a seamed
forehead,
"And isJ'B.iljjt'roally yur child?" btill
queried the little one.
"My child is it ? Bridget my child ?" he
laughed'a derisive kind of laugh under his
breath "oh! no, miss the Lord forbid
none of mine could be of that sort, miss."
"There, I thought so. Mrs. Hall heard
Bridget calling you father when she came in
the yard yesterday, and she asked mother
if it was possible that such a homely, blowsy
girl could be the Uaugter of handsome old
"Iid she say tint, miss?" cried Jimmy,
his dim eyes brightening, while he laughed
again isi a pleased way. "Ah ! well, poor
Bridget's a misfortunate (hint:, and ain't to
blame for the face that God give Iter, though
she might have manneis more decent."
"But Jimmy, didn't you iteicr have a
little girl of your own?" persisted the child,
her bright eyes twinkling in his face like
two stars.
"O ! didn't I, then !" the old man pans?d
again in his work, and his g'atiee took that
far off, spiritual expression that those who
saw him often a!mi"cd and wandered at.
"Miss Issy, the Iord gave me a child it
was only one. an' niver did I tec th": beauty
in anything human there was in that.
Sometimes, Miss Issy, I've seen something
in the look of your eyes that minded me of
her, btitl tell ye from the first she was one
of God's angels, and she used her wings to
fly away Irom me but thin she was needed
int he bet titer country. Who could blame
the wee birdie?"
"O ! Jimmy, do tell me about her?"
"Tell ye about her, miss," responded the
old man, the tears very few and large, that
had gathered in his eyes, dropping one by
one over bis pale cheeks.
"O ! yes, do, Jimmy, if it won't make
you ted rfjbad," pleaded the child. ' Tell
mc when she was born, and where ; w ho
was her mother, and and what took her
to heaven, you know," she added, with in
Minctivc delicacy.
"Ah ! Miss Issy, 'twere in the fever time
she died, and little good, jewel, the story'd
dove, mayhap," and the old man bent
dovMi to pre.-s the moist earth closer against
the root he was transplat t ng ; "it were a
time," lie added, shaking his eray lucks,
"when them that hain't no hope to flo to
was worse of than the haythen but God is
merciful, gl-jry be to his name."
"O ! Jimmy, if you only would tell me
please do that's a good man. There, that's
the luncheon bell now I'll manage it, Jim-
I my, isnugei wm nnng your luncn, aim i u
i ii i i i, t i mi
tell her to go and get mine, and we II sit in
the arbor; so while we're eating you can
tell me the story, Jimmy oh ? do please
do!"
Who could withstand a child's winning
earnestness ! surely not Irish Jimmy, for
that pleading look made him liken her
the little angel that had once made
his home a heaven. So Bridget was sent
to bring another lunch, and the o!d man
leaned his spade against the garden rail,
and taking one white hand, holding lightly,
yet tenderly, the two wended their way to
the vine-covered arbor.
"There ! here's my little cricket; you sit
cn the seat and I'll sit right here. Now tell
me all about it."
"Och ! honey, ye have the winnin' way
wid ye, shure now; for it's a thing I've not
spoken of to any mortal for these tin years
at all. Sometimes, you see the soreness is
in my heart to this day when I brood over
it ; but God's been eracious, and made it
mostly a plisure to think of them both up
in the shining coorts of glory. Sometimes
I says to myself, Miss Issy, as them that, is
dead does a bigger work for them that
be livin' than if they'd been spared to grow
up in this troublous world. You see I were
very wild whin a boy, miss. The foolish
people gave me a sort ot title, as it were,
and from the first I knowed they called me
'handsome Jimmy.' Me parents, I spoze
was proud of me, and they let me have my
own wild way too much shure Miss Issy,
I was like a colt that's never broken or
trained, and like such a creeter, I've done
my 'mount o' mischief. But the Lord Mis
sed be His name, knows me heart's been
right afore Him these many years. 'Twere
a long time afore I got married, Miss Issy.
I were thirty when I first saw Mary Mac
Donough. Her father were agent for one o
thelnglishLords that oppress the poor Irish
to this day the rich sjialpeens' and would'nt
a' no more noticed me than the dirt undher
his feet. But Mary took to me from the
time the first saw me, an' that was at the
gran' weddin' in a great church in Cork. I
was nigh her, and her swate face or the
look in it went clear to me heart, and there
it staid iver since come Christmas forty
one years. Aft her that I managed to see
her agin, and as I had a decent situation as
head gardener for the Aarl O'Conner, I be
gin to save me wages and grow careful, for
the sake of that swate face. To make short
on it I got a little house ready, and thin I
made boald to ask her father might I have
his daughter. Och ! to see the rage on him !
He called me Lastly names, and all but put
his fut to me to kick me out ov the house.
It were tarrible to hear the oaths that he
took, and how he thritened me my life if I
so much as come past the place any more.
Well, I bore it quietly for Mary's sake,
though I shook inside till my heart felt
loose ; but I made a vow, too, that I'd have
the girl an' I kiptit. I've been sorry since,
but the IiOrd knows how I were puni-hed
till I put me hand to me mouth and me
mouth in the dust, and cried out in me suf
ferins that it were more than I could bear.
"Well, Miss Issy, I married her, an! I'll
only say to ye that her father didn't know
it, and whin he did he put his curse upon
us both. Well, little. I cared for it at that
time, for I were prosperin' ; but me poor
Mary poor girl, she took it hard. She
grew pale and spiodlin' like, and secretly
woriiited about her father's curse. But she
was a nate housekeeper, was my Mary, and
me little cabin always looked clane and
swate. I was happier nor a king, and work
ed hard, arly and lute, for the sake of show
ing her pioud father how well I could sup
port the woman he grudged to me. When
her pale cheeks would worrit, me, shurely,'

"So by that time little Elsie were born.
0 ! it made mc a Lett her man to see the
innicent little lace, and the "wee bit hands
sc helpless. If I'd niver loved the flowers
for their own sakes before, I loved 'em for
hers, now. I was as tinder of the bit bud
as if it were my nur.di-n' a'most. It seemed
as if I'd a flower at home a new bud with
the dew ov the morn of its life upon it, I'd
niver done watcliin' and tindin' it. O I'd
fly to ma home like a bird let loose out ov
its cage. .
"It seemed to me. Mary grew a little
betther al ter this. There did a color come
to her pale checks, and a light into her eyes,
and I niver loved Iter so well. Besides that,
I was a laytu' up of money, and felt as
if I'd be a land owner metelf if I kep' on at
the rale I were goin.'
"Me little Ei.Me, she jtst growed a beauty.
I'd sit an' wonder if the delicit crathure be
longed to me. Ye wouldn't belave, Miss
Issy, what large sparklin' eyes shehad, and
the white of her skin -och ! I ihink that
lily hanging ; ondher'd look daiktoit. Peo
ple'said that it couldn't be that she were well,
an' so white, and even the very ladies would
stop to look at her, and wondher at her
beauty. Then she had the curls for ye. Miss
Issv; I don't say as they were handsomer
than your'n, but they were such tiny things,
five rings of yellow light shining in the sun
like bits of gold. Many's the time I've kissed
and called 'em my best guinees.
"Sometimes we'd hear irom Mary's father,
but never no good. Oneet I met her mother
when I had the child. She minded to turn
off and go across, bu t the woman's heart in
her give way, an' she all but knelt down
and .kissed the little darlin,' though she
never so much as noticed me. But I never
cared. Wasn't the child mine? wasn't Mary
mine?"
"KNie were just turned oour whin the
faver come. It was stealthy enough at first,
only a case here, an' a few cases there ; that
when people harked they didn't care much,
but the hot summer came on, and the rains
every day, an' the mists by night, and the
copper sky, that looked as it it would hiss
if a shower came, always at the nightfall
and oh ! the woe ! There begun to be many
processions then the rich and the great
folks, they hurried from the cities, then the
shopkeepers, an' so one afther another all
left but the poor an' the midlin', an' a few
of the good gentry as wasn't afeard. Pretty
soon, Miss Issy. it come marching along.
We'd hear of it in the street near by and
thin it'd be in the next house, and I were
all but crazy for fear ov me wife au' child
ketchin ov it. At last it come iicwm that
Mary's father were sick, aud the poor girl
wint to see him. I hadn't the heart to .-ay-no,
thotlgh I wish I had, for his last words
were bitter, bitter. So she come away fath
erless and motherless for the pestilence had
taken both ov them. O ! but that awful
time! I went, to and fro to me work, but I
didn't dare expect to see modther and child
alive ivery night whin I'd come home. The
faver swept like a hurriken, ye see, Miss
Issv." It diJn'ttake one or two, and stop ;
no it just reaped em down -whole families
to a time. The cabins were deserted the
grass growed among the stones in the street,
sometimes doors swung wide open into
houses, and nobody cared nobody went to
see what was lift. One night, I'll niver for
git, I come home latter nor usual, for I had
been huntin' for herbs that I heard were
rood to prevent faver, when I come across
a little bundle in the street. I touched it
with my foot, whin up conies a head and I
see it were an ugly little child. With that
it begin to cry, such a cry, it set me heart
to aching.
"Says I, 'what are ye doin' here ?"
"Says she, 'they're all gone mammy,
daddy, aunty, and grand'ther. Susie died,
too, last night, and now I aint got nobody."
"Poor wee thing ? I couldn't stan' that,
speciBlly when she said she were hungry, so
I told her to come home with me, and O 1
woe, we wint home to see what ?"
"O! Jimmy!" cried the little girl, clasp
ing his hands, while her lips quivered and
her eyes were moist "what did you see ?''
"I see my Mary, my beautiful Mary
dead!" sobbed the old man, "aud Elsij "
"I'm so sorry," plained Is-y, laying her
cheek against his hands, ijie tears running
freely. A
"And Elsie just going," quivered on his
trembling lips. ' -
"Poor Jimmy !" sobbed the listener.
"Yes, I wint to her, I took her in my two
arms. She give a smile, though she didn't
know me. She was saying something ; I
held my ear down close, she was whispering,
"pretty roses ! pretty flowers!" and saying
them words lookirT as though she saw 'em
in so.ue shitiin' garden she laid her. head
closer to my bosom aud "
"0! Jimmy, Jimmy, don't cry so ; she
went to heaven, you know, quivered from
Issy's read lips.
"O! child, I'liixure of that," said the
old man, huskily. "It-were all right, though
I couldn't feel it then. She is in God's gar
den, and I never see a rose that I don't
think of it, and aint tender to it. Her
name contes to me when I talk to thstn as
if they heard "me. Yes, Miss Issy" the
old man gave bis eyes a final rub, and smooth
ed back his white hair "that's why I love
the flowers, not as I were used in the ould
country ut as sotuethin' made by the great
God arid her swate sake, who died blessin'
ov 'em, as it were. Now, child, we've bin
here longer nor we should your mother'll
be callin" for ye."
"But Jimmy," said the child, thought
fully, "was that poor little girl Bridget?"
"Yes, miss, I brought her wid me fo
Ameriky, and Tfori-the fcrlTrCtild by her.
She was a quare child, but she loved mc,
an' would go to the end o' the warld to serve
me."
"Poor thing!" said Issy, in a low voice,
"I'll always be kind to her. How dreadful
it must be to have unhodif left !"
An hour after that Jimmy was working
vigorously at a vine that needed his care.
There was a shade of sadness tinting the
grave beauty of his features, and sometimes
he sighed in a weary way. But following
that sigh came a trusting glance heaven
ward, ami if he turned to the roses a smile
rarely bright glorified his face.
A Rich Ski.i.. A few days since, an ex
tra train, loaded with jackasses, was trans
ported over the Louisville and New Albany
railroad. The Telegraph operator at Salem,
a boy, getting wind of it, set afloat a rumor
that a large delegation of Democrats would
pass through at a certain hour. Rumor, in
creasing as it flew, said that many e.iiiuent.
speakers were aboard, and thot bauds of
music accompanied the expedition. Im
mense crowds of enthusiastic Seymour men
repaired to the depot, hat in Kand, ready
for the expect i-d cheers. When the train
thundered in, and an aged and reverend
owner of a pair of fabulous ears stuck his
head out of a stock car, and gave vent to a
long, agonizing heehaw, that fairly shouk
the hills.consternation seized the crowd, and
in two minutes not a Democrat was to be

Scarce politicians who don't want offices

A writ of error a slip ot the pen.
The Pen of Heaven.
The day grows yet more solemn. Its so
lemnity reaches its highest point and culmi
nates in the momentous issue of judgment.
It is the day of God's settlement with the
world, which has had long credit. It is the
winding up of this earth's bankrupt estate,
and each man's individual ii terest. It is
the closing of an open account that has been
running on ever since the fall. It is the
day when the balance is struck, and our
fate is heaven or hell ; and by the manner J
in which we walked in these statutes, aud
kept these judgmeuts, and did them, our
d estiny is detei mined.
The most common action of life, in
every hour, is invested with a solemn gran
deur when we think how they extend their
issues into eternity. Our hands are now
sowing the seed for that great harvest. We
shall meet again all we are doing and have
done. The graves shall give up their dead,
aud from the tombs of oblivion the past
shall give up all that it holds in keeping to
be witnesses for or against. Oh ! think of
that, and in yonder hall of the Inquisitions,
see what its effect on us should be ! Within
those blood-stained walls, for those atro
cious cruelties Rome has yet to answer, one
is under examination. He has been assur
ed that nothing he reveals shall be written
for the purpose of being used a-ainst him.
While making frank aud ingenious confess
ion, he suddenly stops. He is dumb a
mute. They ply him with ipi ;stions, flatter
him hf answers not a word. Danger
makes the senses quick ; his ear has caught
a sound ; he listens ; it ties his tongue. An
arras hangs beside him, and behind it he
hears a pen running along the p-iges. The
truth fl islies on him. Behind that screen a
scribe sits, committing to the fatal page ev
ery word that he says, and he shall meet it
aain on the day of t.ial.
Ah! how solemn to think there is such a
peu going in Heaven, and entering on the
books of judgment all that we say or wish,
and all we think or do. Would to God we
heard it! What a che-k ! and what a stim
ulus! Are you about to sin, how strong a
curb! If slow to duty, how strong a spur
What a inotive to pray for the blood that
blots out a guilty past, and for such grace
as in time to come shall enable us to walk
in God's statutes to keep hisjiidgmeiits and
do them. "Knowing, therefore, the terror
of,the Lord, we persuade- men."
How to Become a Millionaire.
John M'Donough, the millionaire of New
Orleans, hal engraved upon his tomb a se
lies of maxims he had prescribed as the
rule for his guidance through life, and to
which his success in business is mainly at
tributed. They contain so much wisdom
that we copy them :
IiCI.K.3 FOR Gil DANCE OF My LlFE IX
1804. Remember always that labor is one
of the conditions of our existence. Time
is gold; th.-ow not one minute away, but
place each one to account. Do unto others
as you would be done by. Never put ofl
till to-morrow what you can do to-day. Nev
er bid another do what you cart do your
self. Never covet what is not your own.
Never think any matter r-o trifling as not to
deserve notice. Never give out that which
did not first come in. Never spend but to
produce. Let the greatest onW regulate
the transact ion ! of your life. Study Tn
your course ot life to do the greatest amount
of good. Deprive yourself of nothing ne
cessary to your comfort, but live in an hon
orable simplicity. Labor, then, to the last
moment of your existence. Pursue strictly
the above rules.and the Divine blessing and
riches of every kind will flow upon you to
your heart's content ; but first of all, re
member that the chief and great duty of
your life should be to teiul, by all means in
your power, to the honor and glory of our
Divine Creator.
The conclusion to which I have arrived is,
that without temperance there is no health ;
without virtue no order; without religion
no happiness ; and that the aim of our be
ing is to live wisely, soberly, and rjligiously.

large towns, says they live too luxuriously,
and their habits of eating ar.d sleeping are
too artificial and irregular. Our young
women are often trained in female boarding
schools, which, with rare exceptions, are
academies of mental, moral and physical
deprivations; while novel reading in secret
aud a smattering of everything in public,
with thorough practical knowledge of noth
ing, is the order of the day. From the time
they leave school to marriage, nothing is
done to establish the .'onstitution, to make
firm the health no instructions given as to
how that health maybe preserved; no ac
tive teaching as to household duties, no in
vigorating morning walks, no wholesome,
elegant, aud graceful exercise on horseback.
Tie days, are spent in eating, in easy loung
ing, in ceremonial visitings, in luxurious
dreamings over sentimental fictions; their
ninhts in heated rooms or crowded assem
bles of hot and poisoned, if not putrid, air.
No wonder that, with educations like these,
the cirls of our cities and large towns fade
away into the grave long before they reach
the maturi'y of womanhood.
Dr. Chalmers was wont to say, "a house
going minister makes a church-going people
as the people are sure to show the courtesy
of returning the minister's week-day visits
by their Sabbath-day attendance."
Why is a blade of grass like a note of
hand 1 Because it is matured by a note of
falling dew.
