TO. AN OLD FRIEND
BY PARS BENJAMIS. _
Old friend! though many a year lath flown,
And we !lase somewhat wiser grown,
Since you and I first met—
The love that in our bosoms grew
When life was rosy, fresh and new
Is blooming brightly yet. •
Time brings a philosophimmind,
Time takes More than be leaves behind—
Time is a thief of joys;
Time turns one's golden locks to gray;
Time drays a bill which all must pay—
Time makes old men of boys.
Time, with his scythe and hour-glass, stands
To reap the harvest of our lands
-To shorten prosperous days; .•
Time eats the keenest steel to rust,
Time crumbles monuments to dust
- Time robs us of our praise. '
Much fault is found with Father Time,
In books-and speeches, prose and rhyme,
But we will not upbraid;
For he has left our hearts as young •
Aswhen. in youth. we laughed and sung
In sunlight and in shade. .
Who says that age makes friendship cold?:
A true affection .ne'er grows old,
But lasta like mountain pines,
Whose heads unfading verdure crowns,
Though Winter darkens them with frowns,
Or Summer smiles and shines.
I wish that. round our mutual souls,
While earth upon its axis rolls,
The wines of love that.run
Might spread their tendrils and embrace
The cherished. dear onis of our race,
So that from sire to son .
Our large affeetiottimight survive,
And be as brightly kept alive,
When we - exist no more,
By those we leave to guard our fames,
And keep unstained our honest names,
As in the days of yore.
Old friend, 'tis something in these hours'
Of work and hurry, when the flowers •
Of feeling scarcely bloom,
To feel that in our heart there . grows
A plant, amid life's sands and snows,
That may adorn our tomb!

"Hush, Nellie, father is coming."
There was an instant hush in the mer
ry laugh of the gOlden-haired Nellie; the
sweet smile died away from her lips, and
the light of joy from her eves, and a chill,
as of ice, passed over her heart.
And all because "rather is coming."
•The door opened and - "father" entered.
He was a man who had, perhaps, attained
the age of thirty years. On his features I
sternness sat throned, and you could read,
in every line of his lace, tokens of a will
that brooked no denialand paused at no
stumbling-block. Had you met him,
however, in. his place of business, you,
would have found him a different man en
tirely Setting in one of his cosy dike
chairs, and conversing with him up-In l
matters of buSiuess, you would have been
charmed by his courteous demeanor, and,;
won by his ease and affability. There
was ever a smile upon his face, and a
pleasant response ,upon his lips. He
greeted those who called in such a kind ,
and cordial manner, that the impression ,
rested upon the mind of each visitor—
" Mr .!
Parker is a sociable man.
"-
• And the wives of those who, having
I called upob Mr. - Parker at his place of
business, and spoke- of his affability. as
I they heard his praises sounded in titbit
; ears, came to but one conclusion. It was
-happy must be the wife of such a,inan."
But they- knew not, or, if knowing, had
forgotten, that too many men wear one
face when abroad and another when ni
home. „
S. JONES
So it was with Mr. Parker. He kept
the sunshine to garnish his and
brought home the clouds to darken his .
home.
That was all.
All, did we say? Ali t how much it
was, let the bruised heart of the wife ani
wer; let the blanched lip, and the dull
eye. and the heavy heart of Nellie respond.
The art of waking home happy is great
er than the art of gaining wealth, or hon
or, or position. It is one seldom fully
learned and appreciated. . It had not been
learned by Mr. Parker. No, Imbed been
too much engrossed in gathering up rich
es to heed the pleadings of the hearts of
those who. gathered about the home cir
cle, watched and waited his coming as
the inhabitants of the Arctic zone watch
the coming oT the sun. And when, in
stead of bright eye and sunny beams,
there fell upon the hearth-stone harlsh
looks and cold responses, do you wonder
that the dreariness of home was made still
more drear, and the bounding heart be
came chilled by their influences?
"Father is coming." ,
"Ishe ? " Yes, shut the picture-book
and lay aside the playthings. No more
laughter or innocent mirth now.
And yet, Mr. Parker had not rilitays
been so. In fact he still was, a. o' old,
the kind provider, and ever most atten
tivelo the wants of his family. He sur
rounded his wife with all the luxuries

wealth anti' taste could obtain, - and even
prided himself on ;the comforts he was
daily showering upon her..
: But there Wes a painful, comparison in .
the Mind of that wife as she watched the
autternigs of a golden-winged canary in
its gilded-cage The sense of iMpriSon
ment Wei keenly felt. The bird was fed
and kept in royal slavery. ;And how
Much better was she than the bird before
her ?
' We said that Mr. Parker had not al-
Ways been So: There was a time—and it
could have been measured by years— .
when his sweetestsmiles, and , his softest
tones., were reserved for the uiric circle
of home. :To fail of .greeting' his Agnes
With a smile, would have heen an offense
against his affection. To fait in kissing
her when he left her gentle presence,
would have caused the ghost of injured
love to haunt him through the day, and
stand ever by his side until hiS penitence
and neglect were wiped away by those
t •
neglected lips.
How the change came w3Pld be &ID-.
cult to narrate: Doubtless it 'was not in
tentional, but it was no less effective. As
sternness usurped the place of smiles and
Moroseness took the throne affability had
abdicated, the change made fearful havoc
in 'Mr. Parker's home. Yet all this wnile
no cross words were spoken except by the
eyes and conduct of the 'husband. And
Agnes, as she saw how indifference was
gradually taking the place of love, as she I
watched the complete engrossment of her I
husband's mind in his business, g rieved
in* her heart at the black prospect before '
her. She had set out with such high
hopes of wedded bliss,- such a fair prom
ise of connubial felicity had been hers,
that the fall was all the more severe by
reason of the height she had once reach
ed. With no heart to sympathize in her
Sorrows, she, too, had relapsed into grad
ual indifference, and—since on his part
'There was no effort to scatter thc.cluuds—
so, on hers there was no desire to procure
:them by the sunshine of affection.
This way have been, doubtless was, all
.very wrong. Had she sought to win hini
back to his'old allegiance, the task might
have been an easy one.' 'The crust Of
'selfishness add world ways may have coin=
'nletely covered his heart. But she gave
herself up to the tide, without an f attempt
to stem it. The current at first! was nut
so strong but what a few- words would
have chant , r , d,its course and returned it
.to its natural channel. But the few
words had not been said. The seal on
her lips had done, more to,close_the loan- I
fain than all else. She had forgotten a
wife's first duty, and hence all the ills
that had followed.
~So grew up a partial estrangement of
heart. The sympathies were nut in com
mon, their. feelings were riot the same...—
Not that they were wanting in hnsbandly
duty or wifely faith. But there was a
link. once possessed, but now lost. Could
it be found and restored to its posit'i'on,
perfect harmony would be the result.—
Happiness would again brood over the
hearth -stone, and peace spread her white
unsullied wings over them.
But the lost link. Where was it ?
Could a reward, be offered for it? Could
they, by lighting a candle, search and find
this priceless pearl Under what rubbish
of years did it lay hid ?
Father is coming."
As he enters, the mother whispers to
Nellie and the child leaves the roow. She
returns in a moment and makes some re.
ply. Mr. Parker look's on but says.uuth
-
" Dinner will soon be served." said hia
wife iu answer to the thought that evi
dently engrossed his attention at the mo
ment.
A few moments passed in silence, each
busy mWI their thoughts. He vexed at
the. delay; she conscious of having given
no offense, was irritated at the morose
manner,* gave up all idea of •conciliatory
measures, and sti widened the breach.
If at fault, surely she.was - pardonable.
At last the dinner bell sounded.
The meal was soon over and Mr. Par
ker rose from the table, took his bat and
was about leaving, wheri his wife asked i
"What time will you be at home this .
evening?"
I cannot tell," was the response." My
business may detain me longer than usual:
Why do you ask the question ?".
"I thought :of taking Nellie out to see
her aunt Eunice."
" Well, you can be at borne when I re-
tam"
- If I knew what him you would come
up, yes." -
Mr. Parker paused. Then remarkinz:
Well, be home early at any rate,"• left
the room.
The uncertainty of - the reply almost
tempted Mrs. Parker to adhere to her in
tention, and pay the , visit contemplated.
For a moment or two she pondered over
it; and then .her good angel triumphed.
She would give no cause for-complaint.
She would remain at home even at the
sacrifice of the pleasure of Nellie. The
child heard the decision
_;_ if it brought a
tear to her eye, we need not wonder. And
in the heart-aeli . e of. the oue the other
joined..
“Never mind, motlierj can wait.”
"Thanks, "darling," was all the mother
could reply. .
Early evening came, but not :Mr. Par
ker. " His wife patiently watched and
waited.
The hour went on. Still he came not.
On the sofa Nellie lay, her gulden hair
falling over her face—asleep. She had
grown weary watching. The mother, too.
sat in an easy chaic near the centre table
endeavoring to read. But the words ran
into each other, and she was forced to
close the book, and as her head dropped
upon her hand, and there came a vision
of the - years when every cloud had its
rainhoW„she contrasted the happy ‘•thei," .
to the unhappy "now" and sighed over
her condition, She had learned the les
son that
. wealth did not confer peace; that
gold cannot purchase happiness.
Her eyes softly cloSe,l, ,and
sleep—
"best boon to mortals given"---came to
her in her grief, and waved her Wings
over the perturbed heart. And as she
slept she must have been dreaming sweet
dreams, for a smile played about her lips,
and she murmured "Love we love," as
though, as of old, a sweet confession was
being made.
, The door opened, and Mr. Parker en
tered. Ile paused just as the threshold
had been erdssed; and. gazed fora few mia-.
nients on the picture before him. It was
one worthy the pencil of a waster painter.
And little Nellie speaks. But she does
not move. Mr. Parker listens.
"Mother, - mother, why don't father
love us-? Why don't he smile as he once:
did, and kiss you. and me as he used to
du ? • Mother, mother, why don't—he
The low voice Of Nellie dies away, and
the heart of the father is smitten as with
a rod. Truly conscience asks, whys
ellie still sleeps. - So does her mother:
And as the husband and father draws
nearer to them.' again a smile played
about the lips of his wife, - and again she
murmers, "Love rue, love."
Mr. Parker is on his knees. He takes
the hand of Agnes in his own.
.She
awakes with a sharp low cry of surprise,
but as she hears the words, "Forgive me,
my Jong suffering. yet . patient Agnes,"
she buries her face in his bosom. Nellie,
too, awakes, and is added to the group.
And as she wonders and looks with smil
ing eyes front . the face_of one to the face
of the other, she feels that something must
have happened while she slept.
Truly, something had. The lost link
had been found, and to it "a little child .
had led them."
Thereafter, in Mr. Parker's house no
clouds were seen. and "father is cowing"
became a sign of - 'greater sunshine.

" Mother, -mother, :" pleaded 'a
little cherub boy, with blue cues, anx

serious face, as she tenderly laid him up
on his soft, warm bed, and lovingly fold-‘

ing with-grief; tumultuous subs break

pillow is drenched with penitent tears,
and the little dimpled hand is extended
so imploringly. Relent!

few moments and the sobbings cease. the
golden head droop, the weary eyelids
close, and the little. erring one is laid
back upon his couch, penitent and Lulu

What's in a. kiss—al simple kiss?—
Much, very much ! M r ore potent than

countless wealth. Who has nut felt its
magic influence? 'Tis the lover's tender
pledge of undying Constancy 'tis a bond

it dear to. the 'youthful and ardent, but
also to old age, to the withered heart and
blooniless cheek.
How to make Home Happy.
Do not jest with your wife upon a sub
ject in which there is danger of wounding
her feelings. Remember that she treas
ures every word you utter, though you
never think of it again. Do not speak of
some virtues of another mates. wife, to re
mind your own uf a fault. Do not re . -
pnaach your wife : with personal defects;
for if she has sensibility, you inflict a
wound difflcult to heal. Do not treat your
wife' with inattention in company. Do
not upbraid her in the presence of a third,
pe'yson, nor ,entertaiu her with Ipraising
the beauty and aecutnplisfnusnts of . other
Wunien. If ;i:11. would have a pleasant
home and cheerful wife, .pass your even•
lags under ypur own roof. : . Du not be
seem and silent in Your own house,.and

!
member that your wife has as much need
of recreation , as_ yourself, and devote a
portion, at least, of your leisure hours to
such society and. amusements as she may'
join. By so doing, You will secure smiles
and increase her afieettun. Do not, by
being too eXact - in pecuniary . matters,
wake your wife feel her dependence upon
yourbounty.:. It tends to lessen. her dig
nity of character, and does not increase
- her esteem of you.. If she is a sensible
woman, she should be acquainted with
your business and know your income that
she may regulate her household ! expenses
accordingly. Do not withhold this knowl
edge in order to cover your own extrava
gance. Women have a keen perception
—be sure she .wid discover your selfish
ness—and though no word is spoken, from
that moment her respect is lessened, and
hercoutidence diurioished, pride,wounded,
and a. thousand, perhaps unjust, suspi
