When the morning, half lu shadow, Ran along the hill and meadow, And with mtlk-wblte fingers parted Crimson roses, fcolden-bearted Opening over ruins hoary Every purple morning glory, And out-shaking from the bushes Blnglng larks and merry thrushes That's the lime our little baby, Strayed from Paradise, It may be, Came with etes like heaven above her, 'O, we could not choose but love her I When the morning, half ln shadow, Kan along the hill and meadow, And with milk-white fingers parted Crimson roses golden-hearted ) Opeulng over ruins boary Every purple morulng-glory, And out shaking from the bushes Singing larks and merry thrushes j That's the time our little baby, Pining here for heaven, It may be, Turning from our bitter weeping, Closed her eves as when In sleeping. And bcr while haads on her bosom Folded like a summer blossom. Now the litter she doth lie on, Strewn with roses, bear to Zlon Oo, as past a pleasant meadow, Through Ihe valley of the shadow. Take ber softly, holy angels, Past the ranks of Ood's evingels, Past the taints and martyrs holy, To the earth-born, meek and lowly. We would have our precious blossom . Softly laid In Jesus' bosom. O An infidel passing through the shadows that lying around the close of life, and finding himself adrift in the surges of doubt and uncertainty, with out anchor or harbor iu view, was urged by his skeptical friend to hold on. lie replied : "I have no objection to holding on, but will you tell me what to hold ou by I" Here is a question which men would do well to consider before they reach the closing scene. If they are to hold on, what are they to bold on by? Where ia their trust, their confidence? What certainty have they as they go down into the shadows! Surely a man who comes to his dying bed needs something better than Infidel ity can give him. lie needs the guiding band of Him who is the resurrection and the life; who has conquered death and triumphed over the dark grave, and who is able to bring us oil safely at last. He needs that hope which ls"as an an chor to the soul, both sure and stead fast, and which eiitereth into that with in the vale." f Deliverances from confirmed drun kenness are exceedingly rare. Tempo rary reformation too often ends in hope less sottishness. The power of alcoholic appetite is one of the "powers of dark ness." It is like a possession by seven devils. God only can cast them out. The solemn lesson of this fact is that the only safety lies in total abstinence. Wherefore let us exhort the sober; the, young and especially the' children that the only sure way to avoid the doom of drunkenness is to keep out of the rapids which lead swiftly down to the depths of perdition. CS" The story is told of a clergy man-r that, after preaching an interesting ser mon on the " Recognition of friends iu in heaven," he was accosted by a hearer who said : " I liked that sermon, and I now wish you would preach another on the recognizing of people in this world. I have been attending your church three years, and not five persons in the con gregation have so much as bowed to me in all that time." B2T The faults, the sing, the Imperfec tions that men see in us, or we feel in ourselves, are indeed our burdens, which we must bear for ourselves, and should bear for each other, humbly, but with out discouragement; waiting till the new man be grown up to the fullness of the measure of the stature of Jesus Christ. , x 635" Flee in your troubles to Jesus Christ. The experience of upwards of thirty years enables me to Bay ; No man ever had so kind a friend as He, or so good a master. View Him not at a dis tance, but as a prop, a stay and a com forter, ever at hand, and He will requite your confidence by blessings illimitable. C3" The pains of a noble soul are like the May-frosts of a life a spring follows them. The pains of the wicked are the frosts of autumn they precede the pun ishments of winter. O An hour should never pass with out our looking up to God for forgive ness and peace. 62" If rich be not joyful ln having, too solicitous in keeping, too sorrowful In losing. O" nidden virtue Is often despised, inasmuch as nothing extols it in our eyes. SUNDAY CAGED BY A WOMAN. Wi: LIVED on the banks of a river one of the loveliest streaniB ln Louisiana a quiet spot some distance from any plantation : but as soon as our man luge took place we young folks were to remove to a neighboring parish, and thither Frank went, shortly before the wedding to prepare our new home. He left me busy as a bee with the trousseau and arrangements for the afl'alr, which was to be a grand one for the country, as my father was a well-to-do planter, aud I the only child. He had been absent about a fortnight, and I was expecting him back daily, when one day, father came, with a trou bled face, into the room where I was sitting, surrounded by lace, aud muslin, and dainty necessaries of the toilet, which were Just as much the fashion then as they are now, Bessie, popular cunt to the contrary, noth withstand ing. "Lettle," said he, hurriedly, "I've got to go over to Squire Bent's to see about some titles. I came near forget ting the appointment, and I'll have to hurry right fast to get there now on time. Can you do without me V" I laughed and nodded : then suddenly an uneasy feeling took possession of me. I remembered the money quite a large sum with which Frank and I were to " begin the world," and which lay securely hidden away In the house, the nest egg of our future fortune. I knew that I was destined to a lonely night of it, for father could not possibly return within twenty-four hours; the servants had all gone to a " break down," on a neighboring plantation, except an aged cione, Aunt Dinan by name; my mother was an invalid, weak aud nervous ; I felt that, ulone as I was, the outlook was not very enlivening. Father observed my troubled expres sion. " I don't see how I can help it, daughter," he said, gravely. " This is a very important matter, aud admits of no delay. It is the fault of my treacherous memory ; had I only remembered the engagement with the squire, I would have kept some of the servants at home as protection for you." But I was no coward, and so I kissed him and laughed away his anxiety, and saw him depart with assumed cheerful ness ; but as he rode down the avenue, which led to the outer gales, I saw him turn in the saddle, and gaze after me anxiously once more. I returned to my household duties, and my pleasant task, amid the billows of ltice and muslin, aud so, sang aud worked the long, bright day away. It was nearly Bunset. I had persuaded mother to lie upon a couch, which I had pushed out upon the vlne-covered gallery, and Beated myself beside her, I began to read aloud some wild old tale of supernatural horrors, upon which I had stumbled. Before I had half finished, I had worked myself into a state of nervousness, and as I noticed the paling face of my mother, I tossed the book upon the table, with a contemptuous expression, and arose to make her tea. At that moment the gate latch click ed, and as I turned in its direcllou, I could not repress a cry of alarm. My eyes fell upon a strange Bight. The ilgure of a woman a very dwarf ln size and stature clad In a faded black dress, with a battered bonnet upon her head, and a torn ehawl about her tiny, stoop ing shoulders. Slowly and hesitatingly the creature moved up the walk, until she reached the gallery. Here she paused to gaze curiously upon ub, with a pair of round, bead like, black eyes. Then she spoke, in a voice clear and well-modulated : " I have lost my way, - ladies," she said, beseechingly, .".may I crave ft night's shelter V" I glanced at my mother. She was pale, and trembled violently. ' I had conceived an uuaccountable aversion to the small stranger ; but who could have the heart to turn a woman away into the pathless forest, with night coming down, dark and threatening, for the sky was overcast, and there were signs of an approaching thunder storm, and the wind moaned drearily in the boughs of the pine trees. So I told her that she might remain; but I resolved to know no slumber that night, but to watch the long hours through. ' My mother must not be alarmed ; so sending the stranger to the kitchen with Aunt Dinah, to get some refreshment, I coaxed mothor to take her tea, and carried ber off to bed, In triumbh. It was ten o'clock before I left her sound asleep, and stole off to the kitcheu to take an observation. On the thresh old I paused, my heart beat wildly, my brain seemed on fire; I trembled bo that I could scarcely stand ; I pushed the door ajar, and glanced in. What a night met my astonished ryes. The dwarf was standing erect, and young, and lithe; the woman's garments had been discarded, and I saw before me a man, small, but muscular, and with a diabolical face. He was stooping over the form of Aunt Dtnlih, in one hand a" vial, which lie held to her nostrils. I comprehended the situation at a glance, Aunt Dinah was drugged; even the frail protection of her presence was gone, and tbenext step would be robbery, perhaps murder. The villain replaced the vial ln his pocket, with a grin on his ugly face. " There 1" he ejaculated, "that will work. With the old nigger out of the way, the rest is easy. Lucky that I know where to look for the money ; it's ln the old woman's room, 1 saw the gal put it there. Let me see, right hand corner, top drawer in dressing table." It flashed over mo then, my own care lessuess, when father had given the pocket-book into my keeping; the open window near us, aud some gny words that I had uttered, all came back to me. I was bo frightened, It seemed as if I should die. Then calmer thoughts suc ceeded ; and I resolved to fight for that money to the death. Softly I Btole away, aud re-entered my mother's apartment. Taking the pocket-hook from the drawer, I hid it ln my bosom , aud then, pausing, to assure myself that she still slept, I turned to the ball where our small provision of fire arms was stored. Oh, heavens! They wore gone I A low, horrible chuckle fell upon my ears. The robber stood at my side, a look of triumph on his hateful face. " Well," he sneered, boldly, " where Is It?" " What do you mean V" I gasped. " The money, of course I I've just been to the old woman's room but I find you've been too many for me. Now, girl " he stepped closer to me, and raised oue hand threateningly; his awful eyes glared into mine ; his lips, as they opened, resembled those of some huge wild animal. " I know you have the 'rocks,' baud 'em out I" With a low cry of fear, I turned and fled. Back to the large, old kitchen ; my heart surging and beating madly, I flew like the wind. Old Dinah still lay upon the floor, in blest unconscious ness. I shook her, and called aloud, and shrieked for help, but no other sound broke the stillness, save the low, dreadful laugh of the robber, who had followed me. "Stop that noise 1" he growled. "You're wasttng breath, you know. The nlgger'B drugged, and won't wake up till I'm safe out o' this. See here, I want that money. Give it to me, and I promise to leave you in peace; refuse, and " I thought of Frank, and our future. " I never will I" I cried, as bravely as I could. Again, that horrible, mocking laugh. He sprang forward, and seized my arm ; one hand passed around my walBt, ond held me tightly ; the other, prepared to close about my ttJroat. Just at that momeut, my eyes fell upon the huge brick oven; something unknown, in these days, Bessie; an immense structure, occupying one Bide of the kitchen. I noticed that the wide door bad been left open,and a sudden thought an inspiration darted into my mind. It was worth risking, at all events. The villain's hand was pressing closer about my slender throat; I felt a dread ful, choking sensation. I was sure that I should die. - Now or never I thought. I thrust one band, quickly, into the bosom of my dress, and snatch ing the pocket-book there-from with a quick, sudden movement, I threw it into the oven away ln I could hear it all upon the bottom with a heavy thud, for most of the money, was in gold. With a horrible Imprecation, the wretch released his hold, and darting forward, sprang into the oven. I darted towards the hugo door. I seized it ln both hands; with superhuman efforts, I pushed it shut, aud slid the heavy bolt into its place. I was saved I Then I sank upon the floor ln blissful insensibility. I was aroused by the pressure of lips upon my own ; and felt my head pillow ed in somebody's arms. I opened my eyes. Frank was holding me close to his heart, bis face pale and anxious. Ho had returned unexpectedly; and seeing a light burning In the house an unusual occurrence at so late an hour, for it was midnight and fearing that I was ill he bad ventured to stop. I told blm the whole story ; and, old as I am, I have never forgotten the look on bis face as he clasped me to his heart. It did not take long for him to ride to the nearest town, and summon the sheriff with a posse of men. The oven was opened, and the wretch within, insensible and half dead, was dragged forth and away to Justice. He was proven to be an old offender, and soon received a long sen tenee. I was quite the heroine of the country arouud, for a long time afterward ; but heroics were not ln my line, and I never wished for a repetition or that night's experience. For The Time A Visit to ihe Moon. The following was written by a thir teen year old boy at the Loysville Orphans' school, and shows vivid imag ination: Avlsitlotho moon is a very fins visit. If you want to go to the niooii,yoii must goin a balloon. The first time I went, I came first to Claytown. I stop ped there to get my supper, and got cross-eyed beans and bread and-butter. They sent me to bed, aud I fouud I would have to lie ou the floor. But a man came up and tied a string around my walstand bung me up against the wall. I tell you I felt good after I got asleep. The next morning after I got up, they gave me a dish-pan to wash myself out of, and a curry-comb and scrub brush to comb my hair. Then they invited me breakfast, and 1 expected to get a good breakfast, but I got bread and molasses, and coffee tbat had water and flour ln It to make it white. After breakfast I started off again and my balloon went very fast, but It did not gr fast enough. I threw out a pound of sugar, and it went up. Then night came on again, and I saw a city not fur off, but the balloon would not come down. So I broke off a chip of my seat, and threw it down. It hit a man on his bald bead. Then he threw up a rope. I got hold and he pulled me down to Oiltown. There I stayed all night. I ate my supper and went to. bed. I slept on a bed there, but when J got up in the morning, I had to go- to the river to wash myself, and I combed my huir with an oyster shell. Then I went to the hotel and they gave me a piece of bread and raw pumpkin for my breakfast. Then I got another fellow by the name of Clyde Hooper, and we started ofl'aguln together. The gas Boon gave out ; but that did not matter, for Hooper gassed so much, that the balloon came near bursting. But still it did not go up as fast as if there had been only one man ln it. so I threw Hooper out and he caught on the church steeple at Loysville. Then I weut like forty and reached the moon on the 20th of Decem ber, about three minutes after six o'clock. Uncle Sam was very glad to see me. 1 asked him how he got there and he replied that he was picking up brush on Sunday and got put there for punish ment. His building was made of green, cheese, and was stuck up there with three barrels of sticking plaster; but still It was a very nice place to liva in. I went round the farm with him, aud he gave me a peach that weighed three pounds. The weuther begau to get cold, and 1 got Uncle Sam to make me a sleigh, and I started off. I went so fast that I got home in a pinch of a minute, and stuck in the snow over my head and ears. I could not get out, so I went home aud got a pick and dug myself out. A Soldier's Joke. f T ET me give you an anecdote of JLi some of the jovial and lively boys whose presence ln a company did more to promote health and happiness than the hospital drugs, its quinine and opium pills. In the old Twelfth Indi ana regiment there were four or five of these kind of men, full of life and fun. Here Is one of Enooh Taylor's " gouge games," as he called it. If Taylor is living he knows it's true, and I hope he will forgive me for using his name. "While at camp in Darnestown, Md. ln 1861, an order was Issued for knap sack drill every afternoon. The men were required to pack their clothes, etc, as if going on the march, and drill in that shape for two hours. As the regi ment was forming, Colonel V. H. Links, riding down the line, observed a few straws protruding from Tay lor's knapsack. The Colonel reined up his horse with, "What have you in your knapsacki"' "It's straw," said Taylor. "What have you got it in there fori", "Why, Colonel, it ain't as heavy a clothes." "Go to your quarters, and to-morrow I want you ln the ranks with everything; you have got. Do you hear?" "All right," says Taylor; "I always obey orders;" and he walked to bis tent. The next day he appeared in line with a knapsack well stuffed, his overcoat and blankets forming a roll about the size of a ten gallon keg and long enough to ex tend six inches beyond bis shoulders each way, causing him to occupy the space of two men in the ranks. The Colonel rode down the line ; Taylor's ap pearance caught bis gaze, and he baited in front of him. " What in thunder is the matter with you?" " Nothing at all, Colonel," says Tay lor " you told me yesterday to bring every thing I bad, aud I've done so." Colonel I should think you had. Taylor Jes' so. Colonel Do them all belong to you Taylor Yes ; but I forgot my frying pun ; it's down to the tent. Colonel For God's sake go and get it, and when you get it stay with it, Go to your quarters ! "All right," sys Taylor ; " I always obey orders. " I'll go and write to my mother while you drill, and I'll tell her all about this, and hereafter I dou't aim to be imposed on. I can carry as big a bundle as anybody, and no straw in it."
