To hush the storm of lifo to sleep ;

To smooth the pathway to the tomb.
To feed the orphan and the poor,
The warfare of the world endure ;

To love with tears that. Saviour's feet.
To fold an angel's wings below,
And hover o'er the cot of woe;
To lay the l'ei hlehetti babe to rest,
And pour a balm o'er furrow's brcpst.
The aged head with joy lo crown,
To e ill celestial favors down ;
To teach aspiring, ardent youth
Tlie golden bcuisons of truth.
First at the Saviour's tomb to weep,
First in the fields of faith to reap ;
The right to suffer and to prnj'.
To guide to Heaven the pilgrim's way.
The right fo bless affection's hearth,
And tt iwer the thorny roads of earili ,
To chef r the saddened brow of csre,
And paint the future realm, so fair.
To throw a gleam of sumliina round
Th o darkened chaos of each wound,
That grieves the lonely mourner's heart,
WheulilYs best treasures hcace depart.

To save from sin by virtue's smile ;

v,il c nnd a score or more of fhil lrcn,
is well blessed with tlio world's ponds,
mid of course is much admired and pa
tronized by all 1 11s neighbors.
Mr. Z, is also a public spirited man,
and nothing (lelijrlita him more tlitin to
sec s.iitio work of inteniil improvement.
Ho attends all meetings un4 other gnth
urines loikinj: towards the promotion
of these objects, and was never known
to be backward in sub-teribin to any
cau:-c calculated to advance the: best in
terests of St. Louis.
Having piven this short history of
the man nnd his aspirations, it is unnec.
cessary to add that hn ras present at
the Miller's and Flour Merc-hunt's Con
vention, held ,'.t the Merchant's Ex.
change, last Wednesday, and made one
or two vigorous speeches. When even
ing came, it required but little urging
to prevail upon In 111 to stay at the ban
quet. JJeing of a social nature and
much Mtcies'ed in the objects 01 the
convention, he came to the conclusion
that it ho could advance thc.:o cljccts
by taking his seat at tha well filled m.
per table nnd putting down a few glass,
cs of Ileidsick, he would do it; and so
Mr. Z. staid. It Wis late or . early,
r ithcr when the company broke up to
go home. There is nothing extraordi
nary in this circumstance but our duty
as a f'uitLl'ul historian compels us to dis.
cloe the fact that Mr. Z. was slightly
fuddled, or if this is too harsh a term,
elevated. II is eyes (airly twinkled witii
morriuieut, and he became oppressed
with sujh an inordinate desire for
speech making that he was only sikee
ed by a couple of gentlemen clapping
their handkerchiefs over his mouth and
leading him from the room.
In this unsteady, uncertain, and tot
tering condition, Mr. Z. was conveyed
to his room nnd left at the street door.
Here he dismissed the kiud friends who
had piloted him, with a paternal bless
ing, and then addressed himself to the
task of getting into the hou.se and to
bed without arousing the partner of his
bosom. This undei t:ikiiig,howevcr, invol.
ved considerable difficulty. The sleeping
room was in the second story, third floor
from the stairway laudiug, and although
Z. could have found it well euough at
other times, yet at this particular junc
ture he lelt mighty uncertain, lie
opened the door softly and commenced
to creep up stairs. It seemed to him as
though he weighed a ton, for each and
every stair seemed to groan and squeak
with paiu, aud iu an agony of despcra
tinn he slung to the banisters. Arriv
ing at the top h3 groped around in the
darkness until his hand came in contact
with the knob of the door, and imagin.
ing that it led to the couch where'reposed
his partner in the dreams of innocence,
he turned it softly and entered.
Ho would not light tho gas bnt dis
robed in the dark, and off came his coat,
vest and pauts, and last his boots. lie
thought that he could not be lnistukeu
ia tho aoom for ho detected articles of
dress such as could be worn by none
but a feminine. lie tangled himself in
a sett of hoops, stubbed his too against
some Fieuch corsets, and mentally
swearing at Mrs. Z. for leaving her
things where he could stumble over
them, shu filed up slowly to the bedside,
and turning down tho clothes, was iu
the act of placing his leg beneath, when
a piercing scream broke out upon the
midnight air.-and a white robed figure
jumped like lightning from the bed,
aud going (0 tho window shouted,
" Help, help ! save ine, its a man ! "
Tho whole bouse was soou in an uproar.
A policeman, three blocks distaut, hear
ing the hubbub, started lor tho sceue,
shaking his rattle vigorously as he ran ;
but Mrs. Z., who slept in the next room
adjoining, was the first to rush to tho
rescue. We shall uot attempt to des
cribe the sight that met her cyea on
bursting open the door. There in a
corner, screaming with might and main,
was the young lady guest that she had
invited to spend tho evening with her,
and there by the bedside (stood Mr. Z.
in jntn'x uattiraliljux, looking na though
ho had been fooled by lJulaam's ass aud
was about to be turned out of green pas
tures. Mrs. Z. gave one long, agoniziug
look, and muttered out : " Oh ! you
naughty man," and then tumbled back,
ward ou a death faint, while the unfeel
ing wretch alluded to. sat down i a
chair, passed his hand over his brow
once or twice, aud exclaimed : ' " Yv'ell,
I'll becutsedl"
He had strayed into tho wrong room.

Tho bnsinop.s of making people laugh
is no. joke. otiekt, whoso speciality
is to set tho table in a roar, arc generally,
when , off duty, n chop-fallen tribe.
Writers who produce largely for the hu
morous papers arc, iu at least thtee cas
es out of five, gloomy and taciturn,
('otnic uctors, as a class, have always
been notorious for their melancholy
bearing behind tho scenes. Litton, the
Knglish comedian, the expression of
whose face, even in repose, was "so fir.
dicrous that it provoked laughter, was
one of tho most confirmed hypochondri
acs of his day; and "Hilly Wiiliams,''
for years tho leading representative of
broad farce in this country, used to
blubber like n whipped schoolboy when
anything went, wrong with him. When
Dominique," the French'Iferne, was
convulsing all I'aris with his drolleries,
a phy.-neiau of that city was one day vis
ited by a miserable locking man, who
asked what he should do to get rid of a
horrid desire to commit suieido which
continually haunted him. " Go nnd see
Dominique," said the doctor. " Alas! "
replied tho unfortunate wretch, " I am
Dominique. Forced humor is indeed a
r.crrj business. There is a reactionary
principle iu human nature which rem
ders depression tho inevitable conse
quent of overstrained merriment. The
philosophy of all this is, that although
wit nnd humor ore cheerful faculties
when suffered to develop themselves
spontaneously, they nro quite tho re
verso when compelled to drulge. In
fact, no one faculty can bo overworked
except at the expense of all the others.
To keep the body 111 a healthy, vigorous,

Oa the steamer which recently parsed
up to Montana, was a young girl of
scarce eighteen, who goes to the distant
laud of gold to .mpet her affianced.
Four years ago she met and loved a
young student in a German University.
Their trystiug place might not have
been at " Uingeti on the llhine," but it
was at just such a romantic spot not
many leagues distant. Her attachment,
was reciprocated, and troth was plighted.
Three years since tho bridogroom came
to America, and sought his fortune
among the placers of Montana, shortly
securing a lucrative position as superin
tendent of a successful mining company.
A few weeks ago a brief message darted
across two continents, aud three thous
and miles of ocean in a day, and found
this beautiful, unsophisticated girl, sur"
roundod by all the endeat incuts of a
home of wealth and refinement. It
fold her that uear the far off shores of
the l'aoifio some one waited her coming.
A few days later she was rocking upon
the bosom of the broad Atlantic, and
later still she disembarked iu a strange
land, the language and customs of whoso
people were new to her. She is now
slowly and happily ascending the Mis
souri, confident that her bridegroom is
expecting her, having travelled alone
from the banks of the Baltics to ine3t
him. Supposo he should have died
during her journey ! What then9

A couple of weeks ago, an old woman
went to the house of Mr. Caleb, ia Elk
Neck, and asked for in ilk. Having
drank freely, she left, and was no mere
thought of, till a few days after, when
James i. Oldham, I.iq.; in crossing
Caleb's cornfield, was attracted by tho
tumbled condition of soma of the shocks,
which, on examination, appeared to
have becu arranged into a kind of tent.
Making search, he found in a neighbor
ing gully the same woman, then taking
rcf ago under a brier bush. She seemed
quite wild, and talked so incoherently
that notntug caa bo louid out of her or
igin. Her accent ia Iiish. , The con

During the cross-examination of a

Elias Howe, whoso fame as the inven
tor of the Sowing machine is world-widj.
died at his residence in Brooklyn, New
Voik, on the evening of the od inst.
Fur tho last three niuntha Mr. Howe
was ttfllicted with that tetriblo disease
known as Blight's disease of the kid"
tipys, and although he flas supposed to
bo gradually gaining, he took n suJJcn '
cold a few (lays previous to his death,
whieli carried him oil". He was boin
in spencer, Massachusetts, in tS 11). and
was sub.'-cqiicnt'y -1 J yi.in.s of age.
Mr. Howe's lite nnd fdru::;;lo. aro an
almost exact parallel id nearly every
great invcutor, and read ia pot lions
more like nromuiuo lh:,n the relation
of facts. Ilis hoy hood was. marked by
hard labor on farm and in a mil! own
ed by his father, o that he had ve'.y
lew educational iidvuiilagt'S. At tho
age of tixteen ha went to J.ewcll f
learn the machinist's trade, where l.e
remained about two ycirs.' From there
he w.tit to Cambridge, ttrar Boston,
wheto tho ilea cf inventing a sewing
machine first pj-:scssod his mind. Oti
this iJca ho worked, giving his entire
attention to it to tlio neglect everything
el.-e. About tho time be came of a(t;9
lie married. At this time he was re
ceiving nine dollars per week, ou which
he was obliged to support himself.
Worried by family carosj si ;kncss, and
unable lo keep his head .ibove water,
Howe never fur a moment despaired of
accomplishing his idea, but until ll-i-I I
reached nothing which was sa'.it.f'aetory.
In this year be confided his idea to a
friend in Cambridge, who poscrscd a
small capital, nnd ho uf;t isled him with
means to get out a model machine,
which was finished iu the early pr.rt of
May, 184,. Full of hope, he exhibi
ted his machine in Bot.ton, where he
convinced the tailors of its usefulness
and won their commendation, qualified
by tho expression of their opinion which
accompanied it, that it would ruin the
trade. Their praise of tho machine was
all tho support the inventor received.
Not one of them would invest a dollar
iu it. Again iu desprr, with all his
money gone, his friend came once more
to his rescue, and between them the
machine was patented. This was the
extent of his friend's support; tho fail
ure of further efforts to introduce tho
invention to public notice and patronage)
broke dowu his cotifi lencc. Ho was
obliged to give up and seek employ,
mcut to keep his funily fiom sufiu'hii.
For some time he worked as ar. cngi..
necr on a railroad, uutil his constitution,
naturally delicate, gave way, and ho
was again reduced to almost destitute
circumstances. At last he concluded to
seek the patronage in England denied
him at homo, and, assisted by his fath
er, his brother Amasa left with the ma
chine in October 18-Ki Amasa found
tliere in William Thomas, of Chcnpsid.;,
London, the first financial success, and
Mr. Thomas got a bargain, receiving for
120 sterling tho machine which iho
brother had brought with him, aud tha
right to use as many as he needed iu his
own business of c:rset, Itmbrclla and va
lice making. He offered Xd per neck
if Elias would come to him nud woik
tho machine. With thi3 offer Amasa
returned, aud as' the -i)Q were only
temporary relief, Fl as concluded togo to
England and accept tlio offer of Mr.
Thomas, which he did, aocompanied by
Amasa, Here he worked eight mouths,
but Thomas was exacting, and Elias left
him at the expi ration of that time. In
tho meantime, his sick wifo and three
children had joined him. Tho story of
his life for several months after h's dis
missal from the works-hop of Thomas,
is most paiuful iti iU details, ending iu
absolute penury an J his return how,
after an absence of t,vj years, with nn
empty pocket. Ho landed at New York,
where he learned that his wife, who had
preceded him, was dying of consump
tion at Cambridge. Ho had not money
enough to enable him to reach h j r. In
a few days, however, ho succeeded,
reaching her ledside juit before her
death.
Fate had not yet done her woiv:t.
The ship in whuh he had embarked
tho few household goods he ha 1 gather,
ed together in England was lost'at sea.
This it would appear was fortune's lant
blow, lie soon found himself iu good
employment, aud better still, iu a short
time he realized that his machine had
become famous during his nbs.-nco.
Ingeneous mechanics, regardless of his
patents,' had coustiuclel yiic simt'c.i.
They were being exhibited abcut tin
country as wonders, and iu some places
had been introduced in important man
ufaeturics. Howe now fouul friends,
and after soma delay, the necessary
funds to establish his rights. In lSj'J
he was suporintcn ling in this city tha
construction of machines to order. With
tha litigation which accompanied tho
first stops of tho inventor on the load to
wealth our readers aro familiar. It ii
known that so protracted were theso law
proceeding, that it was not until IS.")!,
four years after his return, from Eng
gland, that Mr. llowo established bis
prior claim to tho invcutiou. Then sole
proprietor ot his patent bis years of in.
creasing revenue began, which increased
from $300 to S 'O'J.UUO. Ou tlio 10th
of lust month his patent expired, at
which time it was calculated he had re
