Then let thy laughing eyes reveal
Joy's hallowed and enlivening beam ;
While mirth and frolic set their seal
Upon the page of life's young dream.
"Mayn't I go. with you, papa? Please
say I may go, won't you ?"
These words were uttered in a plain
tive and sadly entreating tone, the hands
of the speaker clasping the knees of the
listener.
It was a boy of seven years who lisped
them ; a beautiful boy, with a fair, high
brow, around which there clustered a
glorious wreath of auburn curls; with
dark flashing eyes; cheek's,. rosy
_with
health; lips like the cherriei of summer,
and a voice like the birds which taste
them. There were tears in those eyes at
this time, though, and the dimpled mouth
was quivering. .. -
It was a man of some five and thirty
who bad listened to his plea ; a, man who
had been of noble looks and princely bear.
ing. Aye, had been, for the blighting
truth was written over form and face.
His looks were matted, his forehead
scowling, his eyes red; but not with tears ;
there were furrows on his cheek, too; and
a brutish expression on his lips. Twice
did the little boy address him ore ho an
swered. Theo puentorthe child rudely
from' Win, he said, in a stern voice, "No,
no, it's no place for you."
Again those fair small hands encircled
the knees.
"You go, papa. Why cati l t I too? Do
let me go ?"
For a moment the heart of the inebri
ate seemed to awake from its sleep. He
shuddered as he thought of the character
of. the Owe hia pure•souled boy would
enter. He took the child tenderly in his
arms and kissed him as of old ; then put
ting him down he said kindly :
"You tunst not ask me again to take you
there. It is no place for little boys,"
and seizing his hat he hurried from the
room, murmuring to himself as ha paced
the way to the brilliant bar-room, "and
no place for men either. Would to God
I had never gone:"
For'a long time, Willie stood where
his father left Wei; then turning to the
few embers that faidtly glowed upon the
hearth, he sat' down is hie little chair,
and resting his head upon his mother's
lap, he said earnestly: ; 7 • '
"Mamma, why that pretty stores
good place for little toys ? Papa loves
to be there."
It' eves a trying question for the poor,
heart•breken woman.' She had kept eo
far from her son the knowledge of his
father's sin. She could net bear that-he
should look with shame upon him, or that
his pure and gentle heart should thus
commune with so intense a grid. Kind
ly she toyed with his long ringlets, for a
while, then said endearingly :
"Papa knows better than you what is
best for hie little•boy. 'When you get
older you will learn why he dove not wish
to take you."
Then rising, she carefully put down
her little one Upon its bed, 'and put on
her hood and cloak.
"Mind the cradle, Willie,lll come
Amok soon, and then you shal have some
'opper and a nice 'fire to-sit by, too "and
jtaking a large basket of ironed clothes she
went out._ 4 wealthy. mothetwoulithave
,been frightened at thetheught of leaving
so young a boy at night-fall alone, with an
infant to care for, and an open fireside to
sit beside. But poor Mrs. M— knew
well enough that she could trust Willie
with his sister, and as for burning up,
there was not enough coal to thaw his
blue, stiff fingers. No alte,did not fear
to go and leave him, for 14 had thus been
left many a time and be bad always
obeyed her. And he meant to'now; but
poor little fellow 1 his thoughts would
wander to that brilliant corner store )
whither he knew his father Wentat oiec.•
ing; and his brain was busy with eager
wanderings. He knew his father always
sienvatevening'; and he knew there must
be something he liked for he never came
home again till long after Willie was
asleep. What lay behind those scarlet
curtains was a-myskery , ho sought to un.
ravel.
At length he whispeied eagerly, as if
to encourage n lopgfeg Irbk, Papa used
To My Little Daughter.
BY SAMUEL BARB=
Still, like the dewdrop on a flower,
The tear that sparkles in thine eye
Reveals a heart as warm and pure
As ever throbbed beneath the sky.
No wave-born,pearl from ocean cell
E'er shed a milder, purer ray
Of light than on thy face Both dwell,
And'rciubd - tly - forely 'lips dOth play
Fain would I clasp thee in my arms,
Irpoplhy 7 cheelr.- impross a kiss,

To kiss thee t - 610Yrry - that is bliss.
Let no foreboding fears come nigh
To chill the heart's outgushing flow
Thou'rt happy now and so . am I;
The future's not for us to know.

very bad, Ito persevere, and I would find
it out. Now I want to know what Makes
him love to go there so. I knoi there
must be pretty things behind theie win
dows. I shouldn't wonder.-.-mid his
cheeks were glowing 7 4f it was like a
fairy house, Why can't Igo ?"
Poor Willie The temptation to know
was toostreng to be resisted; se he Inlet
ed, up a candle, for be was a thoughtful
little fellow, and would not leave his little
sister-to.the only danger that could men
aoe her, that the flame_lab_ t
11111t1TP *may
the, rats andluice, should they sally out
ere his return.
"I won't stay long, pretty dear," said
he pressing a tender kiss on her sleeping
lips, and drawing the blanket close over
her fair arms. ' "No, I'll came back soon
but I do want to take one peep."
Swiftly his little , feet bore him over the
pavements, and in , a tries lie steed before
the curtained door.
"How light it is, and how they laugh
and talk. It moat all be very funny in
there."
A cold November blast swept around
the corner as he spoke, penetrating ,his,
worn, summer clothei, and.:eausing hisj
flesh to quiver and his teeth to chatter.
"I don't believe they'd hurt me ,, if I
should go in l aihiler I am such a !little
boy, and am so cold here,",he said as he ,
pushed the door carefully from
him,; slip
ping in and closing it without a breath of
noise. Per a moment be was bewildered,
with the light and clatter, add half wished
he was away. But the warm air! was
grateful to his limbs, and finding that no
one seemed tonotioehim he stole towards
the glowing grate and spread out hisput
ple palms before the blaze. The group
of men that encircled the bar were drink
ine when be entered. Soon, however,
they sat down their glasses, and dispersed
about the room.
"Hallo," said one, in a loud tone, as
going to the fire he spied little Willie.
"Who, aro you doing hero ,
;pay little
fellow,_ who are you, and what do you
want 7"
sit: don't want anything only- to , see
what you do here. My name is ,Willie
M—. My papa loves to come here,
and it looked so pleasant through
,the
window, I thought I'd like to. But I
must not stay long, for I've left the baby
alone."
"And , where is your mother, boy ?"
"Oh, she's gone to take home the wash,
sir. Papa don't have so much :_work as
he used to once, and we're very poor now,
and she has to help him." -
"And does it look as pleasant in here
as you thought it would, my Child ?" .
"0, yes, it does, air. I don't wonder
papa loves to come hers so much, it's so
dark and cold at ' home. But Irshonld
think he'd bring mamma and me and lit.
tle sis. How she would laugh to see this
-6re and all these pretty bales, and these
'ileirera. with lights in them. Please sir,"
and be earnestly seized the rough hands
of tha listeners,"plesse, str, tell me 'why
little boys can't.' come' here with their
fathers ?":
"For God's saki do not tell him, Ban
croft" said a deep distinguished voice.l---
"He deems me pure and holy. Heavens!
what a wretch lam l My boy, my bey i
you have saved ine from earth's' vilest hell.

I promise never again to touch the cup I

there. Willie may go too." •
silently,tbe door closed after them, and
silence dwelt the saloon behind them.
The preacher had been there in oherub
form; and crazy, loose, unholy thought,or
light and ribald jest, was' hushed:' One
by , one they stole away, and tr - any a wife
wore smiles that night; nor did the old
bar-tonder even curse the' little one that

"I was thinking whit mamma weal

Taking np-a-Co-11ectIon.'
Rarely Ittve we had a better story, or
a better told story, than this,.from a rev
erend gentleman in Missouri:
The life qf a preacher: in 'a new coun
try, from a smear point of view, is hard
ly as smooth and free from diffioulty se a
position in mere culiiirated and populous
communities usually appears to be. The
people are thiOly scattered here and there,
onoaied - in ;differeni
chiefly agricultural.: Being collected
from all parts of the 'older States, and
gathered from every class of society, they
meet upon the same common ground, up
on terms of easy familiarity, and restrain
ed by co irksome conventionalities. Peo
ple in a new country generally have a
pretty hard time of it. They live a sort
of "rough-and4umble life, wearing out
their best efforts in a struggle for exis
tence. Under these circumstances the
material sometimes,absorbs completely
the spiritual ; • and the people not antra
queutly "get so far behind" with the
preacher that they have frequently to be
powerfully "stirred up" from the
. pulpit.
On one • occasion we had -a visit from
the presiding elder of our districkat one
of our quarterly meetings. We bad not
paid our circuit preacher r"ary dime,' as
the boys say, and we expected a acorins
from the elder. • I
Well, we were not disappointed.' The
elder preached us a mewing discourse from
the text' "owe no man anything." At
the close of his sermon he came at once
to the "subject in hand." ; •
"Brethren'," said he, "have you Reid
Brother anything this year T—noth
ing at all I understand. Well, now,•your
preacher can't lire on the air, and you
must pay up—pay up, that's the idea.
He needs twenty-five dellara now, and
must have it I Steward, we'll take up a
collection now."
Here some of the audienCe near the
door began to 'elide' out.
"Don't run' don't run exclaimed
the elder. "Steward lock that door and
fetch me the key I" he continued, coming
down out of the pulpit and taking his
seat by the stand table in front.
The steward locked the door, and then
deposited the key on the table by the
side of the elder.
"Now, steward," said be, "go round
with the hat. I must hztveltiventy-five
dollars out of this crowd before one of you
shall leave this house."
t ilers was a "fix."
,The congregation
were taken all aback'. The', old folks
looked astonished; the young folks At.
.tared. The steward gravely' proceeded
hulk, discharge of his official duties.—
Tile- Eat was parsed around; and at leligth
deposited on the elder's table. 1 The elder
poured out "the funds" on the table, and
counted the amount.
"Three dollars and a half! A slow
start brethren ! ' Go round again, stew
ard., We 'must pull up a heap stronger
than that'!"
Aronnd"went the steward with his hat
again, and finally pulled up at 'the elder's
stand.
•'Nine dollars and three rriarters ! Not
etiongb yet. Go round again, steward !"
•Aroundgocethe steward the thiraltime,
"Twalve dollars and a half I Mighty
slow, brethren; 'Fraid your dinners will
all gat cold before you get 'home to eat
'em I Go• round:twin steward 1"
By this time the - audience began to be
fidgety. TheilVidobtly thought the joke
was getting to be serious. But, the elder
was relentless. Again and again circu
lated the indefatigable hat, and slowly,
slowly, but surely, the "pile" on' the table
swelled toward the requisite ! amount.
'Twenty-four dollars and a half I Only
lack, half u dollar. Go round again, stew.
and I"
Ju'et,then th ere was;a iap on - the win

waitin' for her."
"It was 'the• last • hair that broke the
camel's back" and, the preacher could ex
claim, in the language of "Ike Turtle,"
"This 'ere meetin's dune bunt up 1"
A country ischoolj teacher, preparing
for an exhibition of hit school, selected a
class of pupils and wrote down the quest
tions which he would put , to them on ex
amination day. The day came; and so
did the young hopefuls, all but one. The
pupils took their places as had been ar
ranged, and all' went glibly on till the
question came for the absentee, which the
gentle!' asked : .
"In what do you beliove ,

words concerning the health and morels
of the army. , It Can not be denied that
oban i ge °fit:dime, undue exposure, and ir
regn ar, or slovenly habits, makes fearful
inroads upon the health. TO remedy the
evils flowing from the latter oiluain--ind
theylare greater than those of the other

regimental surgeons exercise constant
vigilace, and they are, clothed with
iau

Yr frelluently bear I suppose of the
min temptations of the camp. ‘The fell
diseases toa Southern clime, or even the
fatal Irebell
bullets are scarcely less feared
by - anxious fathers, sisters and mothers
than 1 these dreadful temptations, truly
they, - are dreadful. Insomuch as they
frigben good people - nearly out of their
wits, they !may well be called formidable.
They
i i
are 4owever for the most part ficti
tious Ifriglits" having an existence only
in t e, imagination. The faet is, there
are f i 'fewer temptations here than among
the associations of home. The main dif
ficulty is a want of proper restraint; so
that men cionstitutionally disposed to, in
dulge lin immoral. or sinful practieei ' do,
