TUE PARTIN DOUR.
There's somethingin the "parting hour,"
Will chill the warmest hear t--
Yet kindred, comrades, lovers, friends,
Are fated all to part;
But this I've seen—and many a pang"
Has pressed it on my mind—
The one who goes is happier
Than those he leaves behind
No matter what the journey be,
Adventurous, dangerous, far,
To the wild deep or bleak frontier,
To solitude or war—
situ something cheers the heart that dares
In all of human kind,
And they who go Etre happier
Than those they leave liehind.
Th e 'nes to the bridegroom's home
With do btings and with tears;
But toes no Hope her rainbow spread.
Across her cloudy fears?
Alas ! the mother who remains,
Whet comfort can she find,
But this, the gone is happier
Than pne she leaves behind ?
God:wills it so—and so it is ;
The pilgrims on their way ,
Thorgh weak and worn, more cheerful are a
Then all the rest who stay.
And when, at last, poor man subdued,
Lies down to rest resigned,
May he not still be happier far
Than those he leaves behind 7_

'About thirty years ago,' said Judge P.,
stepped into a book store in Cincinnati in
search of some books that I wanted. While
there, a little ragged boy, not over twelve
years of age, came in and inquired for a
geography.'
'Plenty of them,' said the salesman.
'How much do they cost 7'
— l on e-d olio r r my lad.
The little fellow drew back in dismay, and
taking his hand out of his Rocket, he com

silver pieces that he bad held until they
were all damp with sweat. Three or four
times bp counted them, at last looking and
saying :
J. didn't know they were' so much,' be
turned to go out, and even opened the door,
but closed it again and came back have
only got sixty-one cents,' said he , 'you
couldn't-let-me have a geography and wait a
little while for the rest of the money 7'
How eagerly his little bright eyes looked
up for the answer; and how he seemed to
shrink within his ragged clothes when the
man not very kindly told him he could not.da
it.
The disappointed little fellbw looked up to
me with a very poor attempt at a smile, and
then left the store. I followed and overtook
binqi•
'And what now,' I asked kindly.
•
'Try another place, sir.'
Shall I go too, and see.how you succeed ?'
I asked.
‘Qh, yes, if you like,' said he in surprise.
Four different stores I entered with him,
though none of them knew that we came
together, and each time he was refused.
`Will you try again P I asked, as we left
the fourth one.
'Yee, sir; I shall try them all, or I
shouldn't know r t hether I could get one or
not.
We entered the fifth store and the little
fellow walked up manfully, _and told the
gentleman just what be wanted, and how
much money he had.
'You want the book very much ?t asked
the proprietor.
'Yes, sir, very rutich.' *
'Why do you want it so very, .very thuela'
'To study, sir. .1 can't go to school, but I
study when I can at borne. All the boys
have got one, and they will get ahead of me.
Besides, my father was a sailor, and I want
to know about the places where be used to
go.'
'Does be go to those places now ?'
•Ile is dead,' said the boy softly. Then
he added, after a while, 'Trim going to be a
sailor too.
'Are you though F' asked the gentleman
raising his eyebrows curiously, •
'Yes, sir, if I live' •
'Well, my lid, I'll tell you what I will do;
I will let you have a new geography, and
you can pay 'the remainder of the money
when you can, or I will let you have one
that is not new for fifty cents. '
'Are all the leaves in it, and just like the
others, only not new :'
'Yes, just like the new ones!
'lt will do just as well, then, and I'll have
eleven cents left towards buying some other
book. I'm glad they didn't let me have any
at the other places.'
The bookseller looked up inquiringly, and
I told him what 1 had seen of the little fel.
low. Ile was much pleased, and when he
brought the book along, 1 saw a nice, new
pencil and some white paper in it.
'A present my lad, for your perseverance.
Always have courage like that, and you will
make your mark.'
'Thank you, sir, you are very good.'

I gave him a back note. 'lt will buy

Tears of joy.eame into his eyes. 'Can I

(Yes, my lad, anything'
'Then I'll buy one book for mother,' said
_he. thank you very much, and-some day
I hope to pay you back.'
He wanted my name and I gave it to him.
Then I left him standing by the counter, s
happy that I almost envied him, and ma
years pased before I saw him again.
Last year I went to Europe on one o the
finest vessels that ever plowed the wa rs of
the Atlantic. We had beautiful eather
until we neared the end of our voyage; then
came a terrific storm that would have sunk
all on board, had it not been for captain.—
Every spar was laid low, the rudder was al.
most useless, and a great leak bad shown it
self, threatening to fill the Ai,. The crew
—e all strong, Willing men, and the mates
were practical seamen of the first class, but
after pumping for one whole night, and still
the water was gaining on them, they gave
up in dispair, and prepared to take to the
boat, though they might have known that no
small boat could ride in such a sea. The
captain, who had been below with his charts,
now came up; be saw how matters stood, and
with a voice that I heard distinctly above
the roar cf the tempest, he ordered every
man back to his post. •
— lt -. was surprising to see all those men bow
before the strong will of their captain, and
hurry back to the pumps.
The captain then started below to examine
the leak. As he passed me I asked him if
there was any hope. • He looked at me, and
then at the other passengers, who had crowd
ed• up to hear the reply, and then said rebuk

Thrice during that day did we despair ;
but the captain's dauntless courage, perse•

mind on board that strip and we went to work
again.

dipper down on the table. Then he turned
upon the girl, and drew a broad bladed kite
from his pocket.
'Look ye, my young lady; he said, 'I know
there is money in this house, and I know
that you are alone. Show me where the
money is ! If you don't I'll kill you, and

DAY AND NIGIIT IN SWEDEN —The pe.
culiarities of the day and night in Sweden
strike the traveler very forcible, after being
accustomed to the temperate zone. In June
the .sun goes down in Stockholm a little be•
fore ten o'clock. There is a great illumina•
tion all night, as the sun passes round the
earth toward the North Pole, and the refiec•
tion of its rays is such that you can see to
read at midnight without any artificial light.
There is a mountain at the head of Bothnia
where, on the 21st of June, the sun does not
appear to go down at all. The steamboat
goes up from Stockholm for the purpose of
conveying those who are curious to witness
the phenomenon. It emirs only one night.
The sun reaches the horizon—you can see
the whole face of it, and in five minutes more
it begins to rise. At the North Cape, lati.
lade 72 degrees, the sun does nut go down
for several weeks. In June it would be a
bout 25 degrees above the horizon at mid•
night. In the winter the sun disappears,
and is not seen for weeks; then it comes and
remains for ten or fifteen minutes, after which
it descends, and finally does not set at all,
but makes almost a circle round the heavens.
The London Spectator gives the philoso,
phy of the worin a nutshell when it says,
'Europe must pass through a year, perhaps
years, of misery in order that one single man
may secure the career and the position of one
single child. This war bas no cause, no mo
tive, no justification, save the fear of Na
poleon Bonaparte, that without it his boy's
succession would not be clear.' This is the
fourth war he has begun for purely family
considerations. Does it not seem as if a dy
nasty which requires so much and such cost
ly plopping up had much better come down?
A traveling insurance ogent had been ex
plaining to a Western pioneer the advantages
of an insurance policy. Plithfinder mused a
moment in grave silence,. and then said:--
'See here, mister, I have lived out id this
country now twenty-five years, - and have
bucked agin most all the games they've
started, but darn me of I want to play a
game where you have to die to beat the

Young Snobs Snubbed•
Young Smith, the colored cadet at West
Point, has heavy rowing against the tide of
Prejudice and hate which has set against
him from the start. lie is showing noble
qualities, apd the miscreants who have so
repeatedly insulted him may yet have oilea
don to repent their folloy. A short time
ago his courage gave wdy, and in his-despair
determined upon resigning, and accordingly
sent his note to that effect to Commaedant
Upton. General Upton sharply reproved
the cadets, and sent for Smith, to whom he
said : 'Young man, I shall not accept your
resignation. You are bete, an officer in the
national army. You have stood a severe ex
amination; you have passed honorably, and
now you shall not be persecuted into resign
ing. lam your friend. Come to me and'
you shall have justice.' Smith, thus en
couraged, determined upon remaining. A
few days afterward Cadet Lieutenant Pardee,
acting officer of police, happened to come
next to young Smith in the large mess-room.
Young Pardee, with all the chivalry of a
Carolinian, refused to sit beside the nigger.
This was open revolt. The hall "was in an
uproar. The commandant, true to his prom
ise, had the fastidious Pardee put under ar
rest, along with Cadet Grimshaw, who re
fused to drill the hated student. The at
tention of Congress has been called to the
matter, and the prospeot is -that if the re
fractory students do not make the most
courteous amends they sear expulsion.—
Already there are signs of yielding, in their
attempt to persuade Smith to withdraw the
charges made against them. Congress can
stand a colored senator, the Supreme Court
of South Carolina a colored judge. The
young snobs at 'West Point ought to be in
struated after the old fashion of country
sehool•wasters, if they can learn by no
other.
HARM—Those who never experienced
what it is to be the Editor of a newspaper,
have but little sympathy with those who
have. The most of people think it is a light
thing to run off shout a column of matter
every day, for a whole year, and many of
them are disposed to envy the situation of
the man who is thus employed. To all such
we would say try it and yon mill find it out.
An editor who disohargee his duty faithful.
ly , is about the hardest worked man in the
world. He must write and fill up his columns
wether he feels like it or oot ; and in doing
this, he has so many different tastes to sane
ly and interests to subserve, that it is simply
impossible for him to please everybody.—
When the wheather is cool and his wind
composed, he generally gets along very well,
but with the mercury at lOU degrees, the
flies lighting all the time on the end of his
nose, aud.every other person, almost, gone
to the country or taking matters cool iu a
comfortable parlor, who can stand it ? And
yet, if a line is not gramatically stated, every
period handsomely rounded, and every para
graph finished in the best of style, somebody
complains. Again we say, if any one thinks
the life of an editor is easy, just try it and
find it out.— York Democrat.
PROVERBS.—Borrowati garments seldom
fit well.
Haste often trips up its own heels.
%len often blush to bear what they are not
ashamed to do.
What is not needed is dear at any price.
He who buys too many superfluities may
be obliged to sell•his neeessaries.
A fool generally loses his estate before he
finds his folly.
A man that hoards riches and enjoys them
not; is like an ass that curries gold and eats

world's late bereavement make it sadly ap•
propriate now: 'There is nothing—.oo, nett)•

purified affection would be seen to have their
growth in dusty graves.'
