TDB YOUNG WIDOW.
She is modest, but not bashful,
Free and easy, but not bold;
Like an apple, ripe and mellow,
Not too young and not too old.
Half inviting, half repulsive,
Now advancing, and now shr--
There is mischief in her dimple, •
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature,.
She is schooled in all arts;
She hes taken her diploma,
As the mistress of all hearts; •
She can tell the Very moment,
When•to sigh and when to smile;
, a ma[[is some ones c arming,
Bat a widow ail the while. •
Are you /lad I how very serious,
Will her handsome face become !
Are you angry I she is wretched,
Lone, friendless, tearful, dumb !
Are you mirthfiil how her "laughter,
Silver sounding, will ring-out !
She can lure, and catch and play you,
As the angler does the trout. •
Ye old baChelors of forty
Who have grown so bald and wise,
Young America of twenty
With love-looks in your eyes,
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall;
But I know a little widoW
Who could win and fool you all..
A LESSON FROM TQH BEL
Uprising, as the day awakes,
The lark goes forth to soar and sing;
Bathed in the hues of morn, he shakes
The pearly dew drop from his wing.
He mingles with the sunbeam's rays;
He_trills-along - the - peaceful sky,
His joyous matin•song of praise.
Till hues of even paint the west,
,The joyous songster warbles on,
Then, sinking-to his lowly nest,
He chants his evening orison.
Thus may we cheer life's onward way •
While fleet-wing'd moments steal • along;
Begin and end each passing day
With heads attuned to thankful song.

UNCOMFORTABLE. QUARTERS
A SEA SKETCH.
BY ROGER STARBUOK.
Daylight was fading; the shadows of even
ing trembled upon the waves, and the masts
of our ship, the Mermaid, looming up in the
gathering gloom, looked like three great sen
tinels watching for signs of a tempest.
Leaning over the weather-rail forward, old
Tom Wendels suddenly heard behind - him a
noise which resembled the groan of some hu
man being in distress. He turned, but saw
no person near him. His shipmates of the
watch had all gone aft, and were seated un
der the round-house, spinning yarns, play
ing. cards, an d otherwise amusing them
selves.
Tom was therefore much surprised ; and
the mysterious noise being repeated, h e
quickly 'crossed himself' —for, being of
Spanish descent, he was superstitious, and
believed that 'the cross' was a 'safcgaard'
against all evils, both 'spiritual and tempor
al.
Bleapwbile the groaning continued; it seem
ed to proceed from the forchold. and muster
ing courage, Tom concluded that the noise,
after all, was not that of a spirit, as he bad
at first supposed, but , I Simply an expression
of pain from some poor fellow who was jam
med between a couple of casks or barrels in
the hold.
Accordingly, •he :threw off the hatches,
and springing though the opening, glanced
round him.
Who's making that noise ?' he inquired.
•
'Any body hurt .
'Help I help ! for God's sake, ' help•l'
shrieked a half smothered "'voice.
The speaker suddenly paused - ; neither
words nor groans came' from him • again.—
Tom's inquiries . as he eontioned'h is' search,
were nnansWereZ „..
Be shaddered, and again superstitions' feel-•
lags ereptinto his heart, - The sweat came
oat upon 'his brow; he procured a lantern
and lighted it with a trembling hand. The
luild rays streamed - 6er• every part "of, the
hold, btlethe'tdd sailor saw nothing except
ropes, barrels, casks, 4e. He listened, for a
repetition of the. noises mentioned, but in
vain; and ,tihuddeting;• he, extinguished his
lantern, and scrambled to theleek, fully,con
vineed that he'litid'been 'victimized' by some
evil . spiiit.
'Kno,iing; ovrever, that his .shipmates, if
he should ielate story 1p their, would

was as active as a Squirrel; had been seen to
climb the leeches of the sails in . a gale of.
Wind, and to run along the yard-arios, when
the ship was rolling heavily, with the aetiv
ity of a eat or monkey. •
The men mourned for him as they would
hail) done for a little brother; . they all bs
lieved that he had fallen overboard and been
lost during the night.
. .Suddenly, , it struck old Tom that the
groans he had heard might have come from
the spirit of the poor lad after be was drown
ed, and with ram idea in his mind, he be
came very silent and thoughtful.
'What are you thinking of?' inquired a
shipmate; neOer saw you in such 's brown
study before."
Tom explained in a few words. Ills com
panions who had gathered around 'him, then
exchanged dismal glances. The mate, who
was an eccentric man, 'clapped' a hand to
his brow and staggered back as if be had
.een s.o
"God help MM! God help the lad!' he
gasped; 'l—l—am afraid that—' He
paused and motioned toward the hold. 'A
way you go, men!' he exclaimed, 'away you
go, and take a look into the lower hold.-
1 sent the boy there last night, to knock the
head away from a half-filled liquor cask, and
get a jug full of brandy for the steerage!"
r ggitig - their aboulde rs
heavy hearts rbshed forward, and throwinc ,
of the hatches were soon peering into the
lower hold.
A cry of horror broke from all: for their
wont fears seemed realized the feet of little
Lampwiok projected from the opening in the
top of the Caek.
''Ay, it's as I thoughtl' cried the mate,
'he has fallen head foremost into . the liquor
and is drowned! God have mercy on his
poor little soul!'
The men seized the protruding ankles, and
pullina' ° the body from the cask, were sur
prisedto perceive that the eyes moved and
the lips trembled-.-----All-the spectators shout
ed for joy; ten minutes after they assisted
the boy to his feet. •
`Thank God! thank God!' cried .the mate
'he is alive? he is saved! but- how he con
trived to live in that liquor—'
'My face did not tough the liquor,' inter
rupted Lampwriok. 'Owing to the cask, be
ing partly turned over upon its lower edge,
I was able with my hands and,arrns to keep
my head from going under although owing
to the way my limbs were cramped in that
narrow opening, 1 found it impossible to get
out of my uncomfortable situation.
'lf I had only known it was you; if you'd
only been able, in fact, to groan and sing out
a little .louver last night!' cried old Tom,
now somewhat ashamed of his. Superstitions
fears. ...I'd soon have had you out of your
uncomfortable quarters.'
We will add that for weeks afterwaid
Lampwick's adventure was t h e principle
topic of conversation i a the ship,—New
York 'Weekly.
Very Good.
The Richmond "Religious Herald tells
the following good story :
Many years ago, a Baptist minister was
called to the pastoral care of a church' in a
famous old Baptist Association, He had
just preached his first sermon, and the body
had gone into conference with the young
minister presiding. It was suggested by an
. aged brother that it might be well for the
church to fix upon some amount'as the sala
ry of the pastoryso that he might know what
to depend upon; but instantly objection was
made all over the house. "It is time e
nough'," said they, "to•think about that.—
We might fix upon a sum and not be able
to raise it. Let that remain undetermined,
and the church unclmmitted." With this
disposal of the salary question they passed
to the next itenr of business, whith was to
decide on what days the' regular service of
the ehureh should be held. All eyes were
now turned to the new pastor,
expecting
that he .would state definitely what days ho
could be with them. In answer to their in
quiries on this point, ho remarked, in a care
less mariner : "Brethren, 1 want,my preach
ing days to stand on the same footing on
whic'i you have put the salary. I can't cow
tnit myself to come any particular day, for it
may not be convenient always to do so.—
'Sometimes I will come - the first Sunday in
the month,.then again I may happen here on
the second or fourth, and. then again, I
may not find it onvenient to come ~at all all—
Just leave this matter as you have done. the
salary-,wunsettled.' an a -few momenta. a
specified amount had. been fixed upon as' the
pastor's salary, and the pastor himself had
announced definitely - the days upon which
he would officiate..' '

A Safe House to Sleep In
A gentleman of high standing, from Phil
adelphia, was once travelling in one of the
Southern States, and being belated one eve
ning after a long day's ride, was compelled to
turn into a house on a solitary plantation,
and ask for.sheiter and hospitality for the
night. His request was granted. 'ln' the
course of the evening be thought he noticed
something reserved in the master of the
house, which awakened his suspicions. At
length ho was conducted to his chamber,
which was next to tho family loom. There
he thought over the' circumstances which a
larmed him, till his excited imagination was
filled with thoughts of nightly robbery and
assassination. He proceeded to barricade
the room as well as be could— He fidtened
down the windows and pilled up against the
doors the tables, chairs, and everything that
was moveable in the room. While thus en
gaged, words uttered in a low voice caught
his car at the keyhole, and listened. The
man of the house was engaged in family
prayer. Ainong other intercessions, he was
praying for "the stranger whom the Provi
dence of God had unexpectedly brought to
lodge beneath his roof that night." Though
not himself a Christian, the traveller knew
that the prayers ofChristians are like guardian
angels to the 'abode in which• they are offer
ed up, and a sure pledge of safety while with
those who offer them; and he went to bed,
and slept soundly and sweettly,•feeling that
he was in no danger in a house where God
was feared and worshiped;
Words of Wisdom
The mornin g s and evenings are just at this
time decidedly cool. During the day the
sun is warm, and hence, persons who have
regard for their health, should be particular
ly careful about their clothing. Sudden chills
or severe colds' caught through carelessness,
may result in serious if not fatal consequen
ces. Tho ripening corn and yellow fruit
herald the rapid approach ot'autunyand 'in
a little time .ho summer will be ended, "the
time for the singing of the birds will be pass
ed, and the voice of the.turtle heard no more
in the land." Thus our days and years glide
'rapidly away, mature manhood with its cares
and anxieties is upon us, and old ago and its
infirmities, and finally - the night of death,
will come in their order. If is a sad and sot
emu reflection, yet nevertheless true, that of
the-great mass of living and moving human
ity around us, but little will be left a quar
ter of, a century hence. The green earth and
the golden sky, with the changing seasons,
will be greeted. by other eyes; other hands
will pluck flowers from the wayside, and oth
er voices tune their notes of praise and re
joicing. We should make all we can of the
brief period allotted to us here, always` hav
ing in view the importance of a strict obser
vance of those rules which will meet the ap
proval of our fellow men- and the favor of
heaven.

James McHenry—for such was his i name--
had two daughters, the pride and envy of
the community, Lhad beard so much about
them I was anxious to see"them. • !
It seemed, •however, I was to be disap
pointed.
When We arrived I learned the .girls had
gone-to-a-party l ou the other side bf the creek;
so I . went to•bed execrating luck' which de
prived me of seeing them that night. The
) 1 / 4.,
night bailtiell advanced when
. 1 heard one
of the girls come'home an passing into the
adjuining room, she warme herself before
some coals which were alive on the hearth.
It teemed the old • lady • an' - entleman slept

then. Having warmed herself, she turned
to leave the room when the old man: "Girls,"
said he, "the schoolmaster is in _your-bed."
"Very well," said Sarah, and •passing
through the room I slept in, . went up stairs.
About an hour had elapsed when I heard
Judy, the other one tome. She stood at
i oor-a-lotitne-talk-ing-with-h-er-sweet
heart, then entered the room where I lay,
in her stocking feet, carefully undreqsed-her
self, and coming to tbeside of the bed. pre

I rolled over and wltipped'itbe corner of

squeak. The old man beard' it and called
'Judy?'
'Sir?' was responded in a taint tone from
the bed beside me.
'The schoolmaster's in that bed.'
With' ono loud yell, and 'Oh heaven?' she
landed on the floor, and fled with the va

the last of that I can tell you.
HELL BROKEN LoosE.—lt appears from
all accounts that hell has broken loose. and
sane devils are roaming through the South
ern States. • The assassination of the offi
cers of the Freedmen's Bureau is quite com
mon. Murdering negroes is quite a pastime.
Even shooting down negro women for steal
ing a few ears of corn is justified by the re
constructed (?) newspaper organs, when they
know there is civil law to punish theft.
These thing cannot remain long. Peace
an d quiet must be restored. The hell
hounds of the South that drove the country
into war are now inciting their deluded fol
lowers to deeds of the most hellish barbari
ty. The streets of New Orleans have flown
with loyal blood. Union men are fleeing
North for safety. The best citizens of the
State have been slain by a rebel mob, ineit-•
ed to their hellish work by a rebel May
or.
If we know our heart we desire peace, but
we begin to fear that thetie rebels are in for
another war. If such be their desire the
Northern States and the loyal people of the
Southern States are ready for it. When we
conquer them again, as we assuredly will,wo
will have no trouble in reconstructing them.
We will conquer them so effectually that
they will stay conquered. All the recon•
struction necessary at the close of another
war; if the rebels force it on us, will 'bo to
survey and sell the lands of the rebel States.
May God in his mercy keep us from another
war, and may the devils, which are legions,
be cast out of the South before the Govern
ment is forced to destroy their agents.—Ex
