THE OLD MAN'S DEEAM.
Oh, f crone hour of youthful joy,
Give b:ck try twentieth spring ;
I'd rather lauh a bright haired boy,
Than reign a bearded king.
One moment let my life-blood stream
From boyhood's fount of flame !
Give nie one giddy reeling dream
Of life, all love and fame.
My listening angel heard the prayer,
And ealuiiy smiling, said :
'If I but touch thy silver'd hair
Thy hasty wish hath sped."
' But is there nothing in thy track.
To bid thee fondly stay,
While the swift seasons hurry back
To find the wish'd for day ?"
Ah. truest soul of womankind I
Vi:hout thee what wore life!
Oiie bliss I caunot leave lehind ;
I'll tale uiy precious - wile!
The anjel took a sapphire pen
And wrote in rainbow dew,
' The man would be a boy again
And be a husband too !"
"And is there nothing yet unsaid
Before the change appears?
Remember, all their gifts have fled
With those dissolving years."
Why yes : for memory would recall
My fond paternal joys,
I c u'd not bear to leave them all
I li take my girls and bojs!
The smiling an?el dropped his pen ;
"Why, this will never do ;
Tup u:an would be a boy again,
Aad Le a fuller too !"
An l so I Iauhed my laughter woke
'I lie household with its noise
And wrote uiy dream when morning Lroku
To please the gray hair'd boys.
A THSILLING ADVENTUEE !
The adventure which I am aliout to nar
rve, occurred in the spring of 162. I had
iit parsed uiy majority, and with a sn.all
capital, the lesult of a studied economy du
rir.i my apprenticeship, bid adieu to the
i shep and its varied associations, and
stupjied out into the world, tuy own mat-ter,
sr.! to be the architect of my own fortune.
I ha ) applied myself to my chosen pro-
f?-!-bn, with all the assiduity that a love, j
fc.'nojnung to almost a pas?i':n, f'r it, siiin-!
ti'atcd, and I felt, therefore, a consciousness
cf suj eiiority.
Among my thopmstes was one NeJ Wil
an, a pattern of that class of mechanics
who apply themselves only when being over
loaded, and are never particular how their
work is done. lie had conceived a deep I
sealed dislike to me, lecause of my raplJ !
progress in the mysteries of my art, and I
tting consequently often the recipient ofj
c-'ui:nen Jations from our employer. Often
times have I caught him gazing intently on
n:e. Lii face wearing a malicious smile, and
lit up by a vindictiveness hardly to be sup
pel capable of. considering the usual mf an-ine!..-s
expres.-.ion it bore. Although ha?
iw fear of him physically, yet I must
c r.r'e-s that when at such times I have de
t?'?;el him thus eyeing me, 1 would feel an
tin 1 'fined dtead, as I could see below the
siriire.anl had there a resolve to do nie an
hyary. assassin-like, if ever an opportunity
warred. Such were my feeling when I
i-ft th s'r.o;i,and I was glad to be f'r;ed from
L. c-J:i:panionship.
T.a? wre on, ami by a judicious invest-ai-p.t
of my little capital, I had become po--of
a little shop and the necessary sur
Danitns peculiar to my business. Gradu
al, but surely, I was winning my way to
sr.? fror.t rank of my profession.
' lue Jay about four years after I had bid
l:-u t'i the old shop, I was caMed up'nn to
L'.ste ai; cstiu.ate for paiuting the church
ar.-i to'wer situated at Ii street. As I

e' huiect on my own account, I had

Ul-T. when almost in despair of com-
the work in the required time for
r.f w-rktnen, I was startled by the ap-
l -anti ?e or a man whose face wore a fa
''ir fii'rejsion, and which I soon recalled
' ; ' LiLer than Wilson. A long, per

( giraients of its continuous presence. lie

a a,r -I'iication for work. Under any other
-"ani-tances an indignant refusal would

--ins to acit me in the completion of the
'rch. and forgetful of his old malice, and
t9 lte mward monitor that bade me hes
' I engaged him to commence work for
oa the next day, taking occasion, howev
er, to require strict abstinence from all in
toxicating liquors, as a precedent to contin
uation at work. At the usual hour on the
morrow, Wilson was at the church, with
brushes and kettles, prepared to commence
work. My hands had given the first outside
coat to the tower, and on that morning were
to begin the application of the second.
High up in the clouds raised the spire, and
from its tip humanity below had assumed
lilluptian proportions. The scaffolding had
been placed in position the evening before,
and nothing prevented my woikmen from
pursuing their labors. .
I half expected, or some unexp'ainei tu
ition told me, that "Wilson had been indulg
ing in liquor, though nothing in his manner
indicated it. Yet the impulse was irresist
ible, if .inch had been the fact, against Ids
commencing to work at that altitude.. In
stead of considering my kindly meant admo
nition in the sene which I had intended,
his face assumed the old. remembered ex
pression, of deep, intense hatred. Then
rushed to my recollection the old shop days
and his threats of future revenge of fancied
wrongs, rear tor the consequences of Lis
wrath induced me to order him below, as
signing a portion of the work in the chancel
to his care. Sullenly he gathered up bis
brushes, and muttering to himself, slowly
descended. Necessity now compelled me
to take his place upon the tower, and to a
void tr e remaining workmen from observine
how far I was annoyed at the occurrence, I
placed a trestle from a window on the oppo
site side of the tower from where they were
at work. This trestle was so framed that
by turning a screw it would widen .or clo.-e
at will, by means of a groove, so as to apply
it to any window ; and by entirely removing
the screw, it could re taken apart. I had
fitted it to a window, ai:d securing a short
ladder to it, was at the top of the ladder,
busily cngaced in my labors, my mind. how
ever, creating disturbed fancies, tjie result
of my encounter wiih Wil , on.
How long a time had elapsed I do not
know, but suddenly a feeling of insecurity
possessed me. I essayed in vain to dispel
it as an illusion produced from the excited
st, 0 r?rvei , (norp I tried to
believe it a whimsical fancy, the stronger I
became impressed gf impending danger. No
longer able to resist the warning of the in
visible monitor which at times attends every
one, and forewarning of coming evil, yet
faiiing to indicate a moans of escape. I do
scended the laddcr.intending to abandon my
work until I kit sufficiently calm to resume
it, when oh, horrors! upon the inside of
the tower, b:fore me. with the malignity of 1
bell depicted upon his face, stood Wilson.
The screw had been removed from the trcs
tie, and with one hand he h;l i it over his
head, while with the other he balanced the
trestle.
Never, so long a brent h remains in this
body, v ill the memory or that face leave
me. Like a demon's, lit up with a sardon
ical grin, the acme of revenge was written
on every lineament; an unnatural glare
gleamed from the distended eyeballs: foain
oozed from the corners of his ghastly mouth
he seemed no longer a man. but a devil.
"Ha! ha! ha !" he screatitel", "I've got
you new's the lime to square old scores.
By the God's, you've but a minute more to
live : so if you've any prayers to say, you'd
better be quick !"
Itooted to tho spot, and with hair standing
on end, I essayed to beg him for my life, but
the words choked in niy throat and refused
utterance. In vain I attempted to call to
the workmen on the opposite side of the
tower for help my lips refused their duty.
With the desperation of despair I sprang
forward hoping to reach the window, when
the uplifted screw fell with crushing force
upon my right shoulders, missing my head,
at which it wjs leveled. At the same in
sfant the trestle tipped, and with my footing
gone, I wildly flung my arms about.
Oh, the agony of that moment! Within
the time between the stroke of the pendu
lum, there passed in review before me every
action of my w hole life. No single one,
however trivial, failed to start up in exact
rotation as they were enacted. Every tho't
that ever passed through my brain stood
before me in bold relief. A pleasure, heav
enly in intensity, attended the recollection
of every good deed done, and an agony as
bitter succeeded each thought, word or deed
which had not been in accordance with mo
rali'y. At last, after an eternity of time
crowded into one second, the latest actions
of uiy life passed in review, and as thej
passed away my consciousness returned.
'Twas but an instant of time, and who can
measure the distance traversed by thought
in that one instant? Slowly, like one awa
kening from the influences of a powerful o
piate, I began to think, uncertain if alive
or dead. I soon heean to realize that I'hung
suspended in mid air, and discovered that
in my fall I hadeatiaht by the waistband of
my panU to a spike, which had been left by
my workmen. Still my lips refused to utter
a sound of alarm. Above me but a few feet
stood Wilson. No rsleDtiog look, but the
same fiendish hatred beamed down on me.
Hell gave him its attributes at that hour to
exult over rue.with all its attendant horrors.
Too tar below the casement to reach it, I
hung suspended by the brittle thread. Pres
ently the blood commenced rushing to my
head, and then slowly the band commenced
to rip, astiteh at first, then, as if gathering
more strength, two and three at a lime. A
few more breakirgs of the thread, and I
knew that I would be dashed to the hard
pave one hundred and fifty feet below.
All this time, which occupied but a few
seoonds, yet which appeared of endless du
ration, I had been orfering to God uiy pray
ers for the reception of my soul. Another
break, and my life upon one single thread.
Casting one more look above, my eyes burn
ing with pain, and almost blinded by the
rushing of blood, rested upon that same
dreadful face. I once more prayed to God
and closed my eyes. The last thread parted,
and down down down until my brain
whirled, and it seemed as if the revet Dera
tions of ten thousand belching cannons were
rolling through my head, and my eyes were
startled from their sockets then a stillness
the seraphic from heavenly choristers
struck upon my cars, and then I was awa
kened ! to find that I had been dreaming,
and had fallen from my chair. Put the ev
idence of my internal agony that night re
mained with nie, for my hair. which was be
fore a beautiful black, had in that short hour
changed to white ; and for a long time there
remained with me the impress of that face,
as I saw it looking down on rue. Even at
this late day, I never recur to the experi
ence of that night without a shudder, and 1
often glance furtively about tore-assure my
self that I am indeed alive and well.
Oar Children.
How can we give our children sound bod
ies ?
There is not much need to ask this ques
tion about our bodies. The customs of so
ciety allow them five use of their limbs.ample
exercise in the open air, and suitable cloth
ing. Girls who live on farms, and who are
reared in the country, have all these also.
The fanners' daughter makes a hasty toi
let : runs lo the barn, climbs up the scaf
folds Oiled with fragrant hay, to find the
fresh laid et'gs then to the chicken-coop,
where the ''dear, downy darlings" wait for
the food her handy fingers have prepared;
then bhe drivei the cows to pasture while
the last star fades out of the sky, which
glows with the ro-y morning. She is ready
for breakfast, with an appetite that needs
no coaxing, and which a queen might envy.
Her share in the morning work over, she is
out and away, over fences, up among the
branches of the trees, to ste whether the
four blue eggs of the old robin have become
baby robins ; she knows the note of every
bird, and the color of its eggs ; hhe knows
the hole of the woodchuck, the Jiouse of the
mukrat, and the nest of the squirrel. She
watches the hatching of the tadpole, and his
wonderful tran.-formation into a frog. She
dabbles her small bare toes io the brook
where the minnows play, and maybe breaks
her childish heart when she first learns that
the silvery fi.-h will die when taken from the
great Master.
In the summer she spreads the hay by the
side of her father, and in the autumn lath
ers the apples and the nuts. So h,-r days go
on, '"with book and healthful play." Grown
to a woman, she is strong to take up her du
ties, and when three score years are gone,
she is still fresh and rosy, with capacity for
many years of work.
The girls in the city cannot get this sim
ple, natural, heahhy life, but if they are
warmly dressed overthe arms and shoulders,
and so simply as to allow the largest free
dom for the wil iest sport ; if warm leggings
covered the thin stockings, if substantial
boots.with square hcels.could take the place
of those now commonly worn, with heels so
high and narrow that they furnish no ade
quate support to the small ankle, which
bends in and out till actual deformity results,
it would go a great way toward supplying
healthy conditions for girls whose city life
excludes tl em from the natural, health
giving influences of the country.
Sunny Rooms.
Every woman is wise enough an 1 careful
enough to secure for her house plants every
bit of available sunshine during tho cold
winter months. Great care is taken to get
southern exposure for them. Indeed, if
one can secure no other than a north
window for her plants, she has too much
love lor these unconscious, inanimate things
to keep them at all. She would rather leave
them out in the cold to die outright, than
linger out a ruartj-r existence in the shale.
Folks neel sun.-hin3 quite as much as
plants do. Men and woaien who have a fair
degree of strength and the use of their legs
can get out into the world, and get a glimpse
of the sunshine now and then, anl if they
choose to do so, let them live in rooms with
only a northern exposure; but if it is pos
sible, let us socute rooms into which every
ray of sunshine that falls in winter may en
ter, for the little babies who are shut up in
the house, invalids who cannot leave Weir
rooni.and aged people who are too inarm
to iret out of doors. Lot us reflect for a
moment that these classes of persons, if
kept In rooms wiih only north windows, will
suffer just as much from the absence of sun
shine, as green, growing plants would do in
the same rooms, and their suffering is of
account in proportion as a human being is
better than a geranium or a fuchsia. Every
body knows how a bright, sunny day in win
ter gladdens every one who is situated so as
to enjoy it. Let us make some sacrifices, if
need be.in order to give the feebleones their
measure of sunshine.
Dr. Wilson, an English authority, states
tbit one persuQ iu eighteen has some defect
of vision, occasioning an inability to distin
guish colors. This peculiarity is known as
"color blindness," He says one person in
fiftv-five confounds red with green.
As there is much to erjoy in the world,
so there is much to endure; and wise are
they that enioy gratefully, and endure pa
tiently. The happiness of every one depends more
on bis own mind, than upon any or all ex
ternal circumstances.
Tragic Incident of tfca War.
A surgeon who was present at the burning
of Bazeiiles tells of what he saw, as follows :
I was one of the first to come upon the
sceue after the full tide of the fight had ta
ken the combatants up towards the further
end of the village, leaving the lower part of
it comparatively quiet. Here the dead, lay
pillowed upon the wounded ; and there, the
wounded upon the dead. Hundreds of fast
glazing eyes were strained appealingly upon
me qs I passed. I shivered all over, and
moved forward, hardly knowing what I did,
not knowing whom I ought first to sucl-or.
Suddenly, from a houe on my right, a gun
was fired, and the shot whizzed past me and
struck a carrier of the wounded, who was
bearing in his arms a dying man. He stag
gered and fell into the dust with his helpless
burden. Three or four Bavarian soldiers
who chanced to pass just then broke open
with the butts of their ri3es, the door of the
hou.e from which the shot had been fired.
As it fell they f and themselves fronted by
a tall, handsome woman of about fifty, with
noble, grief stricken features, and with her
lovely grey hair falling about her face. In
her hands she had a double-barrelled riSe,
still smoking from the recent di.-charge,and
as she met our gaze she broke into a horri
ble laugh. As soon as I heard it I recogni
zed in her a maniac.
"Monster !" exclaimed one of the soldiers.
Her laughter ceased as suddenly as it had
begun, and she replied calmly and sadly,
while the tears rolled over her cheeks :
"No, Messieurs ! I am only an unfortu
nate woman ! I was a wife and a mother
but you have killed my husband and two
sons. And now kill me, too!" she said in
a choking voice, "or." and here all her for
mer fury seemed to return, "I shall kill
you!" And leveling her gun she was just
about to fire the remaining barrel into the
croup, but the soldiers who had uot whol
ly understood her words, which were spoken
in French were too quick for her, and two
bullets entered her body almost instanta
neously. ' Let her die in peace," I s-iid to them
sally. "Poor thin, she hr-.s lost her hus
band and two 50ns to-day. " The soldiers
now comprehending the whole, turned si
lently away. I remained and bent over her.
The worn is were mortal. She stared wild
ly armind. I took her hand in nvne, and
lonking into hfr fast filming eye, I said in
voluntarily, "I'oor woman !"
The aceen'a of kindness nnl pity wers
exatefu! to her even then. She grasped my
hnnd convulsively, then a change passed
over face an 1 her eyes became serene and
full of peace, as the hut sigh struggled from
her bleeding Losoru.
As I arose from my knee,a wild unearth
ly yell, like that of a horror stricken animal,
burst upon my cars, and looking up I saw a
French peasant dragging a wounded Bava
rian soldier into a burning pile. In this he
was assisted by a woman, probably his wife,
who unrelentingly kicked the resisting vic
tim with her sharp pointed wooden shoes.
But the unearthly cries of the German at
tracted the attention of the retreating tol
dicrs, and a well directed bullet caused one
persecutor to roll over into the fire which
he ha J designed for his victim. The woman
w.n also wounded, b;it she did not fall, and
before the soldiers could prevent her, she
had stamped with savage fury upon the face
of the prostrate wounded man. "Into the
fire with the wild beast!" cry the enraged
soldiers for she had quite killed their poor
comrade. He was a handsome young fel
low but ah ! it was well that neither his
mother nor his sweetheart could hear that
awful cry of terror which broke from him as
he was dragged into the fire. It will haunt
me to my dying day.
A capital joke, and all the more palatable
because it i true, and can be vouched for,
took place a few Sundays since at one of the
prominent churches in New Jersey. It
seam, that a very worthy deacon had been
very industrious in selling a new book cost
ing seventy fire cents. At the service in
question the minister, just before dismissing
the congregation, rose and spid, "All you
who have children to baptize will please pre
sent them next Sabbath." The deacon,
who, by the way, was a little deaf, and hav
ing an eye to selling the books, and suppos
ing his pastor was referring to them, imme
diately jumped up and shouted, "And all
you who haven't any.can get as many as you
want by calling on me, at seventy five cents
each."
The preacher looked cross-eyed at the
brothers, brothers looked at the clergyman,
the audience punched the audience iu the
side, the bubble grew larger until it burst
into a large guffaw ; ladies colored up,blush
ed. and thanked the Lord for the low price
of peopling the earth. There was no ben
ediction that morning worth speaking of.
The deacon, after he had found out the
mistake, changed his pew f:om the front of
the church to the third from the rear, and
though he cannot hear the sermon, he is
consoled with the thought that the young
ludies can't snicker at him.
A gentleman was passing through Hills
borough. Mo., recently, when he came upon
a youth of apparently seventeen summers,
who was furiously scratching at the side of
a gravelly hill.
"What are you after, my friend," inquir
ed the stranger.
"After a ground hog I saw run in this
hole."
''Why, you don't expect to get him iu
that way?"
"Git him ! Bound to git him!' "We're out
of meat."
Some rather reflect truth than practice it.
Hearing the Otter Store.
W hen, after the weary voyage that I first
made across the ocean, sick and loathsome,
I arose one morning and went upon the deck,
holding on, crawling, I was but a worm, I
smelt in the air some strange smell, and I
said to the captain, ''what is that odor?"
"It is the laud breeze from o!f Ireland."
I smelt the turf, I smelt the grass, I smelt
the leaves, and all my sickness departed
from nie ; my eyes grew bright, my nausea
was gone. The thought of the nearness of
the land came to me. And when, afar off.
I saw the thin line of laud, joy came and
gave me health, and from that moment, I
had neither sickness nor trouble : I was
coming nearer to the land.
Oh ! is there not for you old man, and for
you weaTied mother, a land breeze blowing
off from heaven, wafting to you some of its
sweetness ? Behold, the' garden of the Lord
is not far away ; I know from the air. Be
hold, the joy of home ; do I not hear the
children shout ? TL c air is full of music to
our silent thoirght.
Oh, how full of muie when our journey
is almost done, and we stand upon the bound
and pieeinct of that blessed land ! ft jldon
to your faith. Believe more firmly. Take
hold by prayer and faith. Away with trou
ble and buffetuiis. Be happy; you are
saved. In a few hours, visions of Goi and
all the realities of the eternal world sTiali
be yours, and you shall be saved with an ev
erlasting salvation.
The Grand Ju-y ignored a bill araint a
negro charged with stealing. Before the

a broad grin, "I woulln't be here dis tiac,

"I thought I understood you to say that

' It is true, ma'am ; my father kept a pea:

Self control is the best evidence of a cul

said without prejudice, and with or without
advice, commit no errors. Nothing is so
difficult to do, nothing so rarely done.

XI. T, IIcLwaoi.n. Iiruggist:
Dear Sib : I bare been a sufferer, far upward
of tuenly years, wi'.h gravel, bladder and kidney
affections, daring which timo I have ased various
medicinal preparations, and been under the treat
inent cf the root eminent Physicians, experiea
cirg but little rcli-f
Having seen yaur prejia-ation extensively ad
vertised, I consulted with my family physician ia
regard to Oaii g jcur Ksuac: Eucbu.
I cid this because 1 bed used all kind of ad
vertised remedies. ar.d had found them worthless,
and ti'Ui qaiie injurious; in fait, I despaired of
ever getting well, ar.d determined to use CO rem
edies hereafter unless I krretr of the iugredieLU.
It wa this that prompted roe to ue your remedy.
Asyon advertised tLiit il wai Composed of bochu,
.ubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
my physician aa an excellent combination, and,
with his advice, after an examioatioo of the arti
cle, atd conul;ing agata with the druggist, I
concluded to try it. I commenced iu us about
eight months ago, at which time I was confined
to my room I'icm the Irst bottle I was astonish
ed aad cratiEcd at the beG-ial effect, and after
using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt
much like writingyou a lull et.;einent of nay caso
at, that time, but thought my improvement saigbt
only be temporary, and therefore eoncluded to
defer and ice if it would effect a perfect cure,
ii nowing then it would be cf greater value to you
and more satisfactory to u.e
I am now able to report that s care is effected
after using the remedy for five mouths.
I have cct used any cow for three icentis, aad
feel as well in all respects as I ever did.
Your Eucba being devoid of any rnpleasanl
tas a atd edor. a nice toni.' acd invigorator of th
system, I do not mean to be without it whenever
occasion Eiy requite t:s use in such affections.
