To-Day anti To-Morrow.
BY GERALD MASSEY.
High hopes that burn like stars sublime,
Go down the skies of freedom ;
And true hearts perish in the time
We bitterliest need 'e•n
But never sit we down and say,
"There's nothing left but scarow, ,,
We walk the wilderness to-day—
The promised land to-morrow.
Cur birds of song are silent now—
There are no flowers blooming—.
But life burns in the frozen bough,
And freedom's spring is coming;
And freedom's tide comes up aiway,
Though we may stand in sorrow,
And our good bark—aground to-day—
Shall float again to-morrow.
Through all the long drear night of years
The people's cry ascended,
And earth is wet with blood and tears
E'er our meek sufferings ended.
The few shall not forever swah
The many toil in sorrow ;
The bars of hell are strong to-day,
But Christ shall rise to-morrow!
Though hearts brood o'er the past, or eyes
With smiling futures glisten ;
Lo ! now the Cay bursts on the skies--
Lean out your souls and listen.
The world roll's freedom's radiant way,-
And ripens with our sorrow;
Keep heart ! who bears the cross to-day
Shall wear the crown to-morrow.
Oh, Youth, flame earnest still aspire,
With energies immortal ;
To make a heaven of desire
Our yearnings ope a portal;
Aed though age wearies by the way,
And hearts break in the furrow,
We'll sow the golden grain to-day—
The harvest comes to-morrow.
Build up heroic lives, and all
Be like the shaken sabre—
Ready to flash out at God's command,
Oh, chivalry of labot!!
Triumph and toil are twins—and aye
Joy suns the clouds of sorrow
And 'tis the martyrdom to-day
Brings victory on to-morrow-.

" A husband."

Well, I went to Augusta, and took din

had never taken dinner before at a tav
ern in his life.- Before his plate was a
dish of peppers, and he kept looking at
them. Finally, as the waiters were very
slow bringing on things, he up with his
fork and in less than no time soused one
into his month. As be brought his
grinders down on it the tears , came into
his eyes. At,last, spitting the pepper
into his hand, he laid it down by the side
of his plate, and with a voice that stet
the whole table in a roar, exclaimed :
"Just lie there and cool"

A Lady's Advice to Young Men.
A lady who signs herself p "A Martyr
to Late Hours," offers the folic;;Niiig
sensible suggestion to young men
Dear gentlemen between the ages of
"18 and 45," listen to a few words of
gratuitous remark. When ,you make a
social call of an evening, on a young
lady, go away at a reasonable hour.
Say you come at eight o'clock, an honi
and a half is certainly as long as the
most fascinating of you,in conversation
can, or rather ought to desire to use his
charms. Two hours, indeed, can be
pleasantly spent with music, chess, or
other games, to lend variety; but, kind
sir, by no means stay longer. Make
shorter calls and come oftener.
A girl, that is, a sensible, true-heart
ed girl—will enjoy it better, and really
enjoy your acquaintance more. Just
conceive the agony of a girl who, well
knowing the feelings of father and moth
er upon the subject, to her horror hears
the old clock strike ten, and yet must
sit on the edge cater chair, in mortal
terror, lest papa should put his oft re
peated threat into execution—that of
inviting tbe gentleman to breakfast.
And we girls understand it all by expe
rience, and know what it ie to dread
the prognostic of displeasure. In such
cases a sigh of relief generally accompa
nies the closing door behind the gallant
and one don't get over the feeling of
trouble till safe in the arms of Morphe
us. Even Wen the dreams are some•
times troubled with the phantom of> an
angry father and distressed ( for both
parties) mother, and all because a
young man will make a longer call than
he ought to. Now young gentlemen
friends, I tell you what we girls will do.
For an hour and a half we will be most
irresistibly charming
. and fascinating.
Then beware ; monosyllable responses
will be all you need expect; and if,
when the limits shall have , passed, the
startling query shall be heard coming
down stairs : " Isn't it time to close up 2"
you must consider it a righteous punish
ment, and, taking your hat, depart a sad.
der and it is to be hoped a wiser man.
Do not get angry, but the next time you
come be careful to keep within just
bounds. We want to rise early these
pleasant mornings, and improve the
"shining hours ;" but when forced to be
up at such unreason - Able hours at night
exhausted nature will speak ; and as a
natural consequence, , with the utmost
speed in dressing, we can barely get
down to breakfast in time to escape a
reprimand from papa, who don't believe
in beaux—as though he never was young
—and a mild, reproving glance from
mamma, who understands a little better
poor daughter's feelings, but must still
disapprove outwardly, to keep up ap
pearances. And now, young men, think
about these things, and don't for pity's
sake throw down your paper with' a
"pshaw"—but remember the safe side elf
ten.

which may appear , doubtful, but many
ladies might, object to the operation, Un

atives."

DEDICATED-TO ALL NEWSPAPER READERS
That apparitions do not' always wan.
der veithOut sufficient' cense, is proved
by the Well attested ' facts Which we give
below : '
Last Tuesday fortnight, as M --,
rclady of rather literary taste and stadi
ons habits, sit reading in the drawing
room, when the clock on the mantle
piece,strucktvelve. As the last stroke
reverberated through the apartments,
the door was flung wide opeal In the
act of raising her head to repel the in
trusion (unrung for) of her late husband
she screamed and,fell senseless on the
carpet. This, brought Much members
of the family who had not retired to rest,
restoratives were administered and when
Mrs.—,.had regained her suspended
faculties, and being a woman of strong
and highly cultivated intellect, she felt
disposed to consider the whole distress
she had undergone as the result of cer
tain associations between the melancho
ly tale she had been perusing, and her
late loss,.operating on a partially ner
vous system. She, however, considered
it advisable, that a maidservant should
repose-in her chamber, lest 'any return
of what she considered a nervous affec
tion should.distress herself and alarm
the family.
Last Tuesday night, feeling in better
spirits than she had been for several
months past, Mrs.---, dispensed with
the presence of her attendant, retiring
alone to her chamber, went to bed a
little before ten o'clock. Exactly as
the clock struck twelve, she was awaken
ed from her sleep, end distinctly beheld
the apparition she had before seen, ad
vancing from ihe table: on which stood
her night lamp, till it stood opposite
to and drew 'aside the curtains of her
bed. She described hervery blood re
treating with icy ehiliness to her heart
from every vein. The countenance of
her beloved in life wore not its benevo
lent aspect, the eyes once beaming with
affection ; were now fixed with stern re
gard on the trembling, half dissolved
being, who. with the courage of deeper- '
ation, thus adjured him : "Charles
dear Charles I—tvliy are you come
again ?"
"Jessie," slowly and solemnly aspira-
ted the shadowy form, waiving in his
hand a small roll of writing paper—
" Jessie, pay my newspaper accounts,

feeling aggrieved at the castigation
'Which her'child had received in one of
the public schools, retaliated by cowhi
ding two of the - teadhers—the male prin
cipal and female assiitant. Before en
gaging in her Amazonian exercise, she
asked, the name - of the lady teacher.
"Mies Webb," was the reply. "Then
I'll make a cobweb of you," was the
grimly-iamoroas retort, as straightway
she seized the astonished teacher by the
c goon and began her belaboration.

owing to a want of punctuality on the

THE GREAT BENEFACTOIL-It hi stated

Europe on the let of May. The picture
of the Queen of England, to be presented
to Mr. Peabody, is now on board. the
steamer Scotia. The presentation will

he will at once proceed—by the British
minister in person. Ultimately the pic-
ture will be placed in afire -proof room in
the Peabody Institute at South Danvers',

United States, has received an autograph
letter from the Empress Eugene, highly
complimenting him for his uneicampled
liberality to the poor on both Bides of the
tlantic, and speaking of him as the
great benefactor of humanity.

A pet ram, which the boys had tamed,
among other things, was taught to regard
this posture as extremely offensive. He
instantly pitched into the old gentleman's
undefended rear, and laid him full length
in. a mud bole. Picking himself up, the
deacon discovered the cause or his over
throw standing in all the calmness and
dignity of a concioes victor. His rage
was boundless, and he sainted him with
