"I don't see how I am to get through this year and pay my rent, and support my wife and children," said a young man to a friend as they were walking home together at night fall. "It looks darker and darker every day. My receipts are not half what they used to be, and my expenses are a great deal higher. Mary is a capital manager though, and if any body can-eteerthe ship safe through in doors she will. Such contriving and cutting over of old' things to make new ones for Frank and little Fan boats everything I eversaw. But the rent is what plagues' me.' This house just suits us, and I wouldn't move, I believe, unless I was turned out ;" and the young man tossed a cigar out into the street, heaving a sigh and quickening_ his pace, as troubled people are wont to do. "There goes a part of your rent," said his friend, pointing to the cigar just thrown away, "A pretty small part you would say I guess; if you had fifty dollars to make up every quarter, when you could not see where five of it were to come from," "I can put you in the way of paying ono quarter with perfect ease." "Be so kind as to doit, then—the quicker the better." "Just step in here and let e draw up a ---you,-for-which me draw -off cigars, and then when you are tempted to buy one slip the paper out of your vest pocket and read it over.

The Gift I GEt.ve My Country. It was a little more. than - three years ago that I met him for the first Hine. Alike in thought, feeling and action, we seemed ex actly suited to each other; at least we thought so ; and hope painted_the_future_ with rose ate hues. Our home might be an humble one, but-love and confidence, with a mutual trust in our Heavenly Father, and each oth er, would well make up for the lack of world ly fortune; and_many a bright hour did we spend together , dreaming fairy dreams of the future. But, thank God, •we did not set our hearts upon them, for both of us harlearn ed to say, "Thy will be done !" Together we studied God's holy word, and 'walked to the house of God in company;' together we courted the society of the Mus_es, and many a glad hour have we passed 'writing for each other. He was everything to me ! Many friends are very, very dear, but none can fill his place ! It is vacant now. It was a beautiful summer evening, nearly midnight; the moon sailed majestically over head, and seemed to look laughingly down upon us as arm in arm we wended- our way home from spending the evening with a friend; but my heart was very heavy, for the call for six`hundred thousand more sol diers had just been made and we had been speaking of a draft. My only brother is not a Christian, and it lay heavy .on my heart that perhaps ho might be taken from us, and die without hope. I said some such words, and he (I cannot write the familiar name yet) drew me closer to him, and said earnestly, "If the draft comes I will go instead of Ben." The draft did not conic, for laravely, and of their own free will, the sons of New Jersey 'responded to the call of' the President, and hundreds left their pleasant homes to .go forth boldly and fight the battles of their country. see-IM proud, elastic' step; still feel-the pressure of his warm hand as we said our last good bye; still see the dear form as he rose in the stern of the boat to call it yet once more to the sad little group on the shore; still see the boat dwindling. in the Mist as it boars him away from me forever—the gift I gave my country! 0, Fredericksburg ! softly sleeping in the ,moonlight, a few months ago, how little didst thou dream that thy soil would yet drain the blood-of-thousands !

Th 3 Real High and Low Classes. A "high and low class" certainly do exist in all cities. But who constitute the high class? Why, the orderly, the sober, the quiet, the law-loving, and the peacepreserr ing citizens, without reference to rich or poor. Were it otherwise society could not hang together for an hour. Who constitute the "low . ela,s" but the law-breakers, the peace-_ disturbers, the riotous, the brawling inebri ates, and the incorrigible loafers ? Not the poor, for there are at lest as Many poor a-• mong the sober and quiet portion of the com munity as rich. The distinction' of "high and low," in etas. sea, when properly defined, involves no indi viduous sarcasm or ignominious degradation of the poor. Who constitute :the police ? The pour. Who makes up the ranks of the militia ? The poor. If the sheriff calls out his posse eomitatus, who obey the call ? Not the rich, but the poor. Who fight the bat tles of the country, in war? The poor.— Who produce property, and then protect• it, but the poor ? We have but two classes, the idle and the industrious, and the latter only discharge all the duties of good citizens.

The aggregate of credit surpassed the debt.some three or four dollars which he immediately produced paid ' over to the, and we parted in mutual friend= ship and love. Hope.

She is called HOPE. With_lier_eheering form beside us, with her little lamp trimmed and burning with us, the petty trials and difficulties of -to day vanish before the brilliant sunshine of the futUre. .But without her, without the light her presence lends, we are indeed undone; truly in the depths of darkness and despair.

MEI= The following incident occurred in a Hos pital eighteen)menths ago: The Ladies vis iting the patients were in the habit of giving ashes of strawberries and cream to the very sick ones, but none but those unable to be off their beds received any of the delicious fruit. This did not suit the approbation of Jemmy B—, a patient who had nearly re• covered from his sickness and was assisting the nurses in their duties; so he resolved on a plan to change the arrangement. One afternoon the ladies came, and as usual, well laden with berries, which they commenced distributing, as above described.

She gave him a dish, heaped full and went on down the ward ; soon she returned, gath ering up the dishes; but as Jimmy looked so wistful and sick, he received another - dish full, which he ate with a gusto, and being satisfied, got up and went out doors. The kind lady retarnad for-her dish and bid Jim my good bye, the dish was there but not a vcstage of him. 'Where was be, and so sick!

Various answers were returned by the chil dren, after which the minister proceeded to speak of the omnipresence of the Deity, con cluding his remarks with this admonition:— "Remember, dear children, that God is ev eiywhere."
