THE LANGUAGE OF TUB REAM
ROBERT H. BROWN
There is a love that speaketh 4 -
But is not heard aloud;--_____
Its sacred language breaketh -
Not on the-husy_crowd.
'TM heard in secret places
Its sorrow to-disguise ;-.7
'Tie writ in anxious-faces, .
And meditative eyes.
It ever comes to render-- =
Kind t.oug is tv.en
Its tones are sweet and tender,
'Tis the language of the heart.
No art of man can teach us
This secret speech of • love ;
Though here its tones may reach us,
They echo first above.
'Tis heard in gentle praises,
In - pleadings-soft-and-weak-;
It tills in silent gazes,
What lips could never speak.
With strong electric fleetness,
Its holy breathings start,
No speech can match its sweetness—
The hinguage cf the heart.
Is there Room in Angel—Land ?
A short time since a Methodist preacher
related• the following touching incident :
mother_who was re arinp• some flour to bake
into bread, left it for a few moments, when
little Mary—with childish curiosity to see
what it was—took hold of the dish, which
fell to the floor, spilling the contents. The
mother struck the child a• severe blow, say
ing, with auger, that she was always in the
way ! Two weeks after little Mary sickened
and died. • On her death-bed, while delirious,
she,asked•ber mother if there would be no
room for her among the angels. "I was al
ways in your way, mother•—you had no room
for little Maty! And will Ibe in the an
gels' way? Will they have no room for me ?"
The broken-hearted mother then felt no sac
rifice too great could she have saved her
child. •
Is there room among the angels
For the spirit of your child _
Will they take your little Mary
In their loving arms so mild I
Will they ever love me fondly,
As my story books have said ?
Will they find a home for Mary—
Marynumbered with !he dead 1
Tell me truly, darling mother !
Is there roolii - for such as me?
Will I gain the home of spirits, _
And the shining angels see
have sorely tried you mother—
Been to you a constant care !
And you will not miss the mother,
When I dwell among the fair!
For you have no room for Mary—
She was ever in your way,
And she fears the good will shun her !
Will they, darling mother, say !
Tell me— tell mo truly. mother.
Ere life's closing hour doth come!
Do you think titat they will keep me,
In the shining angels' home 1
I was not so wayward, mother !
Not so very —very bad,
But that tender love would nourish,
And make Mary's heart so glad !
Oh ! I yearned for pure oil ction,
In this world of bitter woe !
And I long for bliss immortal,
In that land where I must go !
Tell me once again dear mot her,
Ere vou take the parting kiss !
Will the angels bid me welcome
To that world of perfect bliss'!

The long winter nights are coming. Towns
and cities are full of young men whose edu-
cation has been very limited—young men of
good manners, of lair business capacities, who
are seeking their fortune, but who have not
learned that intelligence and integrity are the
indispensable condition's of influence, of hap
piness, and of success !
What plans have yon, my friends, for this
winter ? Business will be attended to of
course. Perhaps, in addition, the prospect
of several parties, a' ball or two, the skating
ring; give - a
cheerful pro3pective. Or, you

necessities of life, or as luxuries ?
A young man ought to arrange as systema

Every year there ought to be the account of.
books finished and mastered.

Newspapers and magazines have their own
place, and indispensable uses—but they are
selves are to be classified and wisely chosen.
Novels and light literature, taken sparing
ly, furnish wholesome recreation, and sound
knowledge. But history, travels, biography,
works on science, criticism, art, mechanics,
should be the staple of your selection.
It ought to offend the self-respect of a
young man to spend a whole year without
having mastered a single neW book. He - niay
be improving in business tact, and in that
knowledge which comes from mingling with
men ; e may re glowing in wea t an s.
to manwEr riches, but these things do not
reach in far enough They do not touch the
place where manhood resides.
Now is the time to consider, resolve and
arrange. It will require rt - firm purpose and
steady hand to carry you every week through
an agreed amount of reading. But, if the
plan is once arranged, begun, and carried
forward a month, the etecution of it will be.
come easier every week, and the interest will
increase at every step. Nothing Increases
self-respect in a young man more worthily
than the habit of sound reading.

would pierce to the quick. A man who
draws sufficient pleasure from books is inde

need company ; but booics never go out from

they are never busy; they do dot scold us,
and they do welcome us with uniform and
genial delight. What are you going to read
this winter
There is an almost universal dread of
sudden death. Nor can we wonder at this
dread, when we consider how momentous an
event death is, and how solemn the realities
it involves. But after all does it not spring
—does it not receive force and point=main•
ty in the consciousness . that we have no ha•
bituai preparation for death, and the (tense
queut "something after death 7" Does it
not spring from a consciousness that we are
leaving something undone, which we would
wish to repair in a dying hour ? And yet,
how rare arc the instances in which death
does not come suddenly ! Down to the last
hour of life, and almost to the last gasp, the
wasting consumptive will repeat his ofttold,
delusive story of 'being n little better,' thus
hugging the delusive hope of life till its last
sand is already falling from life's emptied
glass. Who of us will die when, and where,
as we suppose ? Probably not one. The
fact is death comes suddenly to ail. It breaks
in upon all the unfinished plans of life, and
hurries the victim away. No startling ad
monition breaks upon the air.
CONTENTNIENT.—Thero are a hundred
successful men where there is one contented
Man. I can find a score of handsome faces
where I eao find one happy face—happy in
all wheathers, and radiant with the sunshine

o'er brooding love of God sits as a robin does
on its bough, singing and swinging, without
one troublo in its heart, or one discord in its
minstrelsy A downright contented Chris
tian is rare, and all the more attractive for
his rarity What did Paul mean when he
said, have learned in whatsoever State I
am, therewith to be. contented ?' fle meant
that he was perfectly willing 'to be just
where God placed him, and to do just what
God told him, and to suffer just what God
laid on him, and to woak out, through mani

and how to abound—how to be full and how

Many a child goes astray, not because
there is a want of prayer and virtue at home,
but simply because home lacks sunshine., A
child needs smiles as-much as flowers need
sunbeams. Children look little' beyond the
present moment: If . a thing dial leases them
they are prone to avoid it If home is the
place where faces and words are harsh, and
fault-finding is ever in the ascendant, they
will spend as many hours as possible else
where. Let every father,tind rnother,try to
be happy. Let them look happy.. Let them

Monday, Moznthge
Moot has been written of Saturday night,

who of ns has ever written of Monday morn

mind ? And yet, Is there not an importance
attached to Monday

The Miseries of a Rich Man
The New York correspondent of the Re - -
Amer Democrat is responsible for the fol
lowing :
Alexander T Stewart clears one thousand
dollars per day, Sabbaths excepted, all fhe

guilty . to double that sum, while William B.
Astor rates his income at four thousand three

he cendat unburden his mind fur ten min
utes without feeling the burden increasing
in his" pocket, and he cannot walk Broadway,
however the wheather maybe, without meet
ing a shower of money". At every turn cash
stares him in the face in the most insolent
manner. Banks fling their dividends at his
head; ruthless financiers beat him with cou
pons; unpitying and soulless corporations
dump their filthy lucre at his doorstep, and
contemptuous bill stickers plaster his door
with greenbacks. One might inquire what
the fellow has done to merit this treatment,
loci the only charge that can be brought is
that he was a rich man's son, and , therefore
must suffer.
ABRAIEIAM LINOOLN.—In his speech at
Carlisle Ohio, Mr. Stanton says: 'I have
been told by those who visited their friends
in Europe shortly after the close of the war,
that in every household, in every place, by
every fireside, there hung the portrait, more
or less rude, of Abrtgam Lincoln.' INlr.
Lincoln's portrait is found in Asia, as well
as in Europe, and in parts of Asia where
Americans are rarely seen. Mr . . Thomas
W. Knox, in big' journey through Siberia
two years ago, frequently saw portraits of
our martyred President hanging on the walls
of the wayside stations and in the hands of
the wealthy citizens. At Ekaterineburg, in
the Ural mountains, he was shown a bust of
£2r. Lincoln that was being made to the order
of a wealthy Russian. The bust was fire
or six inches high, and cut in topaz rom
a model procured in America for the pur
pose.

TIEALTu OF FARMERS.—There 1111 T Avon
reasons why farmers aro, healthier than pro.
tessional men, viz :
1. They work more, snd ,develop all the
leading muscles of the body.
2. They take their exercise in the open
air, and breathe a greater amount of oxygen.
3. Their food and drinks are commonly
less adulterated, and far more simple.
4. They' do not overwork their brain as
much as industrious professional men do.
5. They take their sleep, commonly du•
ring the hoots of darkness, and du not,try to
turn night into day.
6. They are not so ambitious, and do not
vrAnf themselves out so rapidly in the fierce
contest of rivalry.
7. Their pleasures are simple and less ex

A machine for har'vesting corn, by taking
the ears from the stalks while standing in
the field, was exhibited at the recent State
fair in Illinois.: The apparatus is construct.
ed so as to strip two rows at once. The
stalks are • taken between projecting metal
faced fingers, and as the machine advances
the butt of tho,oar is brought in contact with
a short sickle, playing at the rear of the fin
gers, cutting it off, while the stock passes
under the machine without being pulled up;
the ears are received into a large hopper at
the'rear of the machine, and discharged when
it is full.
