They aro going one by

The friends I fondly love;
They are going-to their home
In a brighter worlpove.
There is sorrow in my heart,
And the tear-drops dim my eyes,
As I watch them all depart
To their home beyond the skies,
They are going on, by o-e,
The young, the fair, the brave,
Their work on f art.!) is done—
heir rest is in the grave. '
We see the vacant chair—
VI; e hear the voice no more—
We mist their love and care,
And their early loss deplore.

They are going one by one,
The - futher an
The wife, the child, companion, friend,
The sister and the brother.

When life's ties are riven;

Can mar our joy in Heaven.

Once crowned a lovely head.

Of happier days.that were,
Long vanished from my wistful gaze,
Only one link, a link of gold,

One tender leaflet ilutt'ring still
Upon a blighted tree.
Only a relic dun with tears
Of whit was once so fair,
The image sweet of life irr death,
Only a lock of hair!

Paul was beforehand will her, however
He sprang up to open the d or, and as she
parsed through it he followe( her. •
'Evelyn, what does all this mean?'
',Oh, l'aull' sobbed the poor girl, shrinking
into the dark arqzle of the hall way, 'I am so

`But why . what has hap?ened?'

Paul tete a tete with the•lossil aunt.
'Now. ma'am, pet hap you'll- be good e

‘Ve have met with a great lass, Mr. Ot

'Law suit?' repeated Paul.
'The judge has decided that .14e Silver

Eliza, 'and there is ever So much accumula

poor, and I shall have to go and live with my

'Boy and girl prefereuzes!' echoed Paul,
indignantly. 'I don't perceive that inference

coaxed Paul; with a radiant face, 'l've got a
splendid idea—two o P them! First,
thrash the fellow that has cheated—your pro—
perty from you—'
'Paul,' interrupted Evelyn, 'we have no
right to doubt the justice of the decision.'
'l'll thrash the_rascal all—the
sisted Paul, 'and then I'll have old Fre.yburn
sue him to get it back again; that's the first
idea.'
'Rather impracticable,' said Evelyn, snail
ing in spite of her distress; 'and now wha
is the second?"
'To write a book that everybody will buy,
and get rich on the strrength of that.'
'But did you ever write, Paul?'
'N—no—not exactly, but I an: quite sure
I could if I were to try. At all:events, Eve•

rich!'"
'Had we not better get rich Orst?' :meek!
insinuated the more practical Evelyn.
'By no means,' said
,Paul, decidedly; e

SHOOTING STARS.
BY TUE REV. JOHN TODD, D..D.
Every little boy knows that if he takes a
firebrand in his band and runs_virlth
Whui
it over his head, it will,blaze, or at least, give out bright sparks o Mak
l W
ag a quick motion through the ntoes it.
So when a strong wind blows on a burning
house, the 'flames leap and flash a great deal
faster. If thereever° no wind, and the burn.
;rig house could be hurried through the. air
the effects would be the same.
Now there seem to be somewhere, in • the
lasured space which lies off far
world, little, very small fireclouds
)gether. And as' our earth, in her
:ch through unmeasured space,
eves onward, she comes among these little
fire-clouds once in about thirty-three years,
and as the earth moves so swiftly, the air
sets these little clouds on fire,and they blaze,
and fly, and sparkle in dll directions, just as
the firebrand held in the•boys hand does. w
These are the shooting stars Such, indeed,
is the theory, and perhaps it is as .good as
But what I want to say and to think of is
the amazing journey our world takes_in_these_
thirty-three years ! Who can calculate how
many miles we have travelled, what a num
ber of worlds we have passed, wha('regions
of space we have sailed :h)rough ? And how
true has been the voyage through all these
dark realms where night reigns ! Whose
finger pointed out the way, and whose hand
held the vast world, so that she should come
--back again, and set the shooting - asta - rio — rim - - -
tion at the exact year, and.menth, and day ?
What a being Got is - l — To — him — there is
no darkness, no years, no space ! How safe
ly he carries this great earth along from year
to year, from age to ages When the shoot
ing stars kindle, and bLze, he is there to
watch every one, and when the world, like a
great ship in the dark night, sails off again
through the dark recrions of space,hols_there

On a very dark, stormy night, when 'the
winds were howling as if the very demons of
the air were abroad„a poor man lay dying.
His powers of - body were all prostrated---and
he could hardly speak, but his mind was
clear, and bright, and strong. Ho had bid
den farewell to his friends, and lay calmly a
waiting the coming of the King of Terrors.
He knew how dark, and stormy, and windy
it was out of do - o - rs,anci he knew that through
all this his spirit would pass before the morn
ing. Why was he not afraid'? Because lie
had faith in God ; that he would be with
him, and carry him safely through all. lie
knew not which way heaven was from earth,
but he felt sure that God knew, and would
carry him safely there. It was a path
- which no vulture's eye had seen, and which
n o lion's whelp bad trodden, bu t God
knew the way thereof, and the dying man
was safe

And she was ow ' king as its waxen face
and hands as it lay in its rude little coffin,
ready to be buried . in the great deep, where
no stone could mark its grave. A single

and grouped

thought of the beautiful child that so lately
was their pet. One spoke of the sweet face,
avotker of its playfulness, and another of the
mother's - 141ss. All was ready now. The
coffin was pkeed on the the main hatches as
a bier. The fresh winds moaned through
the cordage. The main top was hove to the

loved a woman of English birth, whom ho
`believed to be a widow. His advances were

utmost frankness, went into all the details of
her wretched existence and ended by hoping
that a divorce suit then , pending, would ter
minate in her favor.
The gentleman, encouraged by this Confi

a treasure, insisted on her at once departing
for England, and bountifully% supplied the

A MI Drunkards.
The won E a mnn can get i*n
ois to get drunkenness every
man shows sicie r ami-reest id
ent passion, its kinds of drunk
aids, and if you go into a drinking place
where there are a dozen men under the in
fluence of liquor you will be sure to find
these six different characters, representing
different animals.
The first is ape - drunk. fie ;caps, and
sings, and yells, and dances, making all sorts
of grimaces and cutting, up all sorts - or..mok.
cy shines' to excite the laughter of his fel.
lows? -Oh, terribly aiily, is the drunken
clown.
The second is tigor druok lie bre4ks
the bottles, breaks the chairs, breaks the
heads of fellow carousers, and is full of blood
and thunder. His eyes are fired with veng
eance, and his soul raves with murderous
fury. Of this sort are those_w ; leir
families.
The third is hog-drunk. ITe rolls in the
dirt on the floor, slobbers and grunts and
going into the streets makes his bed in the
first ditch or filthy corner be may happen to
fall into• He is heavy, lumpish and sleepy,
and cries in a grunting way fora little mote
drink.
The fourth is puppy-drunk. He will
weep for kindness, and whine his love and
hug you in his arms, and • Iss yo with 'his
stobbery lips and proeln . w Inch he
loves yon. You are th best he ever
saw, and he•will lay down his money or his
life for vou. .
The fifth is owl-drunk. Ire is wise in his
own conceit. No wan must differ with him
for his word is lam lie is true in polities,
and all matters must be taken as authority.—
Ills arm is the strongest, his voice the sweet.

largest, his town the finest of all in the room

Keen to strike a bargain, lurking around with
