I WaH for Thee.
The hearth is swept, the fire is bright,
The kettle sings for tea ; Thc cloth is spread, the lamps alight, The muffins smoke in napkins white.
And now I wait for thee.
Oome home, love, come ! thy task is done ;
The clock ticks hsteniugly ; The blinds are shut, the curtains down, The arm-chair to the fireside drawn,
The boy is on my knee.
Come home, luve, come! his deep fond eye
Looks round him wistfully ; .\nd when the wbispcriag wind goes by. As if thy welcome steps were nigh,
Ue crows e.TuUingly.
In vain!—he finds the welcome vain.
And turns his glance on mine So earnestly, that yet ag.tin His form uuto my heart I strain,
That glance is so like thine.
Thy t.Tslc i.s dono—we nii.i!.? tbcc here ;
Where'er thy footstei-s roam. No heart will speud such kindly cheer, Xo beating heart, no listening ear.
Like those who wait thee home.
Ah I now along the cross-walk fast The weU-known step doth come ;
The bolt is drawn, the gate is past.
The boy is wild witb joy at last! A thousand welcomes home!

Regina's  Revenge.
BY   M.'t.Y   KESTLKR   DALLAS.
¦•Now, good-bye, until the tenth, then you are mine—mine forever '."
lie clasped thc .slender %ure closer to his heart, and pressed pa.ssiouato kisises on thc trcuiblin;; scarlet lipsof beautiful Essie Fleming, his betrothed wife.
'•When will you come, Iiarry?" she asked, raising her head from his breast, and lifting up to him her shining love-lit eyes.
"I will be here at five o'clock in the evening, and you must be all ready, my beautiful blue-eyed bride!" A.gain a show¬ er of hot kisses fell upon tho fair upturned face.
Onc close, warm embrace, then the clinging .iruis were loosened, and he tore himself away from theside ofher he loved best ou earth.
She stood where he had left her, and watched his manly form out of sight.
'•Two whole weeks before I shall .sec you again, my Harry I" she murmured, press¬ ing her lips to the bit of bristol board her lover had given her a few months before. It was but a poor counterpart of the hand¬ some young lawyer, with his flashing black eyes, and dark curling hair brushed away from his broad white brow.
Essie's little sister Regie, said she loved hini because he had such a handsome black moustache, and such splendid white teeth. Regie was only fifteen, a spoiled black-eyed spirit, whom everybody Invpd.
The time sped on quickly, and Essie's wedding day was close at hand. For the last weak she had not heard one word from Harry Leo, and she began to fear that he was ill. Strange doubts assailed, but she banished them bravely, and began her toilet.
Very lovely looked Essie on her bridal eve. She was very pale, and the large blue eyes had a strange expression in their liquid depths.
Five o'cioek came and passed—six— seven, and still the bridegroom came not. At last Jessie's father came up lo the cham¬ ber where the bride, surrounded by her maids, stood waiting, and persuaded her to come down and join the guests below stairs.
'•Something has delaj'ed the train, Essie, and Iiarry will soon bo here !" said her mother, as she adjusted the graceful folds of the costly veil. She consented, and many were the murmurs of admiration as she floated into the room, leaning upon her father's arm. "As fair a bride as ever the sun shone on."
She stood in the centre of the room, surrounded by a score of admiring friends, laughing and chatting; the gayest of the gay. Her eyes sparkling, and her cheeks flushed with excitement.
One of the servants approached, and handed her a yellow-covered letter; seem¬ ingly a telegram. She turned pale as her satin robes, and the white hand tretnbled as she received it.
She tore it open, read the few words it contained, and the next in.stant a piercing scream rent the air, and Estelle Fleming, the bride-elect, fell senseless to the floor. Her father rushed forward and raised the insensible form, and bore her to a sofa.— The fatal letter was held tightly in the little hand, and all efforts to remove it were in vain. The startled friends gath¬ ered around the sofa, aud tried to restore her.
At last she opened her eyes, a'nd gazed wildly around. Her mother bent ovor her and asked :
"What is it, my child ?"
'•Oh, mamma ! mamma ! he'sgono; gone
forever "      Her voice died away in
a moan.
'•Is he dead, Essie ?" asked her mother, in a hushed voice.
"Yes, oh! yes. Let me go to my room, mamma."
She rose and staggered towards the door; her rich satin robe? trailing after ber like a shroud. Her parents helped her to her room, and when they had en¬ tered and the door was closed, she turn«d and confronted them, with flushed cheeks and flashing eyes.
"Soe, Papa, see," she exclaimed, hold¬ ing outthe tatal letter toward him; •'Har¬ ry Lee has deserted me for another. Last night they left for Canada. Oh ! my God! my God! help me to bear this blow I" she cried, burying her faee in her hands; her whole form shaken with convulsive sobs. Her parents gazed at her in horror; speech¬ less, and thunderstruck at the gross insult cast upon their child. Her mother tried to soothe hor, but she begged her to go down stairs, as she would be better alone.
The friends of the unhappy girl return¬ ed to their homes with saddened hearts, little dreaming of the terrible news they would hear on the morrow.
The next morning when Mra. Fleming entered her daughter's room, she approach¬ ed the bed, drew aside the lace curtains, and bent over to kiss her daughter, but started back with a ery of wild, anguished horror, for there lay Essie, still in her bri¬ dal robes; the rich dress crushed into a white shining ho.ip; the diamonds on the white throat gleaming and sparkling brightly in tho uncertain light; she was lying very sti'l and quiet; sleeping, her last, long sleep. The large blue eyes were fixed in death; the rose-bud lips were slightly parted, revealing the pearly teeth, and the bright golden hair fell nround like
a cloud. Beautiful Essie—sent to an early grave by thc treachery of the man she loved. Suffering from a severe toothache, a few days before, she had procured some laudanum, and with it she had ended her life.
Her father's grief was terrible to see.— He swore he would be revenged on the base villain who had murdered his child. It broke the fond mother's heart, and in a few months after she was laid beside her daughter, in tbe quiet churchyard.
Regie, the wild little spirit, had become strangely quiet since tnat fatal night. Uer gay laugh no longer made tho grand old house ring with music as of old. She mo¬ ved from room to room, only a shadow of her former self. She was thc darling of her father's heart; his only joy and com- f jrt. She settled down quietly to her stu¬ dies, and (50 the years flew on.
The handsonio parlors of Mrs. General Stacy, were brilli^intly liglited, for it was the night of tho grand ball of the season. The c.irriagcs of tho favored few had bo- gun to deposite their dainty passenger at the door ofthe splendid mansion, and soou the large roonis would be filled with wealth and beauty.
In a bay window, surrounded with rare plants, stood two gentlemen. With one we have nothing to do, but the other de- mand.s a word of description. Uo was a tall, dark, handsome man, apparently about thirty. There was n settled melancholy expression in his blaek eyes, that made you think he must have known some great sorrow. Suddenly his face lighted up with a rare smile, and he turned tohis companion, and askod eagerly:
"Who is that queenly beauty in the black velvet robe ?"
'•Miss Regina Stacy, niece ofthe Gen¬ eral, a nioft notorious flirt, who counts her victims with as much grim pleasuro as an Indian does his scalps. "
"Introduce me, will you ''"
"Yes, bui,guard yourself"
"Do not be thc least afraid. I'm not so easily caught. Forewarned is forearmed, you know; so come along."
The next moment after, Iiarry Leo, thc distinguished lawyer made his most courtlj' bow, to the proud, beautiful belie.
Did he mark tho sudden paling of the lovely face, and the quick flash in tho lustrous black orbs ? In an instant it had all vanished, and Regina Stacy was the charming belle, and gay coquette again.
Gossip set dawn the handsome young lawyer as another victim of the black-eyed sirene. And so he was. Day and night ho was her constant shadow. If llegina would suddenly raise bet eyes, and fiiid his Seeking hor own, they would drop, and the bright carnation would leave the sweet face.    Did she love or fear him ?
Madam rumor wondered why she did not discard him, and take up the golden chains that Percy Bennet, tha millionaire, laid at her imperial I'eet. But gossip was destined to meet with a grand surprise iu the shape of the announcoment of the in¬ tended marriage of Harry Lee to Regina Stacy.
The «v«ninjr bef<>r« the weddinv. Re¬ gina and Iiarry stood in the large parlor. His arm was twined fondly about the slen¬ der waist, and was trying to. look into the beautiful eyes. But the white lids were drooped, aud the dark curling lashes swept the d.:imask cheek.
'Why are you so silent to-night, my dearest ?" he asked, drawing her closer, and raising her white hand to his lips.
"I was thinking," she murmured, "that this will be tbe last day that Regina Stacy and Harry Lee will ever be together."
'•Yes, dearest, for to-morroW you will be Mrs. Regina Lee I"
She shuddered, and he clasped her al¬ most fiercely, and cried out passionately :
"Regina, tell me, for heaven's sake, be¬ fore it is too late; tell me do you love me ?"
'•Love you ?" The large eyes, now lu¬ minous with love, were raised to his face. Yes she loved him. There was no mis¬ taking that look. It spoke volumes. It told ofa burning, passionate love.
"Forgive inc for doubting you!" he whispered.
What a handsome eoupio they made standing before the minister of God to be made one. He, so strong, so grand, so kingly. She, so fair, so beautiful, aud so proud. Regina in her white satin robes, rich lace veil, aud orange flowers. Her blue-black hair brushed away from her low white brow, and sweeping in heavy curls over her shoulders, made a picture for an artist. Their hands were clasped together; her slender white one resting confidingly in his. The ceremony proceeded. Harry answered all his questions in a clear voice. Then the minister turned to Eegiua, and asked :
"Wilt thou have this man to be your wedded husband,'and etc.?"
Thero was a solemn silence. All wait¬ ed to hear her reply. It came; but. not as they expected. Snatchinj, her hand quick¬ ly from HaiTy's, she flung back her veil, and in a tone loud enough to be heard in all parts of the room said :
"No, I will never marry him." Then turning to Harry, said : 'Know me now at last. Not as llegina Stacy but as Regie Fleming, the sister of her whom you killed by your falseness. At her dying bedside, in thc middle of the right of your perfidy, she called me, told me what you had done, and made me swear to avenge her. And now. Harry Lee, there is the door, and al¬ though I loved you better than my life, you must go. 1 could never marry a man upon whose soul a murder rests."
The fine figure was drawn to its full height; the dark eyes flashing, the beauti¬ ful head thrown proudly back, and the ruby lips wreathed themselves into a scorn¬ ful smile. Every eye was turned upon her, and the silence of death reigned in the brilliant room. Harry Lee stood look¬ ing at her. A deadly pallor overspread¬ ing his handsome face. Thc next moment he was on his knees at her feet. Clutch¬ ing her dress with both hands, ho pleaded like a child.
"Forgive ! Oh, Regie ! forgive. I was but a boy then ; another led me on, and then deserted me. Oh 1 Regina, for six long weary years have I repented of that one base act of my life. For thc sake of our happiness, forgive me '"
'•Never ! Go, snd never let me see your face again. It was for thiu I led you on. I never loved you; no never !"
But the proud voico quivered, and all there knew that it was a falsehood that .she uttered.
He rose from his knees, and drew him¬ self up, and in a voice, full proud as her own ; said : "Regina, I have humbled iuy- solf to you, and asked you to forgive an act of folly committed in my boyish days, but you refused. I forgive you, for I love you still. But I will go, and never come again.
He turned and walked firmly from the room.   She gave a low, sobbing cry, and
clasped her hands over her heart. The next moment the sharp report of a pistol rang out in the hall, accompanied by a heavy fall. Regina ran from the room into the hall shrieking, "I have killed him ! I have killed hini I" She was at his side in a moment, and when he saw her, his face lighted up with one of his rare smiles. He raised himself, and held out his arms towards her. Sho sprang into them, and winding her arms about his neek, sob¬ bed aloud.
"Do you forgive me Regie ?" he whis¬ pered.
'•Yes, Oh, yes ! I forgave you long ago," she cried, "but I swore to avenge Essie, and I have done so; but at what a cost I
"Neve- mind, my darling. Perhaps it is bettor so. I did not mean it, God knows I did not!'
His voice grow weak, and a deathly pallor overspread his face. A doctor, who chanced to be amongthe guest came quick¬ ly forward, but it was too late ; the ball had entered a fatal spot.
Regie was clasped in his arms, and his spirit had flown, thc doctor touched her gently, saying: "Come, my child, it is ovor'."
She did not .answer, and he raised her drooping head from her dead lover's breast. But he laid it gently back, and turning to the wonder stricken friends ; said softly. '•She is dead ! I knew it must come soon; she has had the heart disease for three years."
Rcgina's revenge was completed !

A Word tc Young Men.
It is as easy to be a good man as a poor one. Half the energy displayed in keep¬ ing ahead that is required to catch up wh,n behind, would save credit, give moro timu to attend to business, and add to the profit and reputation of those who work for gain. Be prompt; honor your engage¬ ments. If you promise to meet a man, or do a certain thing at a certain moment, be ready at the appointed time. If you go out on business, attend promptly to the matter on hand, thon as promptly attend to your owu business. Do not stop to tell stories during business hours. If yon have a place of businesa, be thero whon wanted. No man can get rich by sitting around stores and saloons. Never '•fool" on busi¬ ness matters. Have order, system, regu¬ larity and promptness. Do not meddle with business you know nothing of Never buy any article you do not nead, simply because it is cheap, and the man who sells will take it out in trade. Trade is money. Strive to avoid harsh word§ and personali¬ ties. Do not kick every stone in the path —more miles can be made in a day by going steadily on, than stopping to kick. Pay as you go. A man of honor respects his word as he does his bond. Aid, but never beg. Relieve others when you oan, but never givo what you cannot afford to, simply because it is fashionable. Learn to  say  No.    No necessity for snapping it
uul, Ju- rasltit.tt ,   liui say it a.uil_y ailU ILJ.-
pectfully. Have but fisw confidants. Use your own brains rather than those of oth¬ ers. Learn to think and act fbr yourself. Be vigilant. Keep ahead rather than be¬ hind the times. Voung man, cut this out, and place it, by careful perusal, in the golden store-house of your brain, and ifyou find that there is folly in the argument, let us know.
A Pure Heart.
A pure heart is a blessing above all price. It gives a tone, harmony, and beau¬ ty to life that nothing else can give. And then it brings a man into such communion with God aud divine things as to make them present with him. Blessed are thc pure in heart fbr they shall see God, says Jesus. A pure heart rather than a strong intelkct is the faculty through whieh we apprehend the spiritual truths. It appre¬ hends by sympathy rather than by logical movement—it feels the truth like thc seeds feel the dew and sunlight, or thc mercury feels the cold and heat, rather than rea¬ sons itself into it. It kno'.vs it, not in the light of solution, but in the feeling of lonc- ness and affinity with it.
A puro heart is a good pilot. It keeps a man out ofall mischief and so out of all inward misery and rcaiorse. It steers him clear of breakers and reefs and gjvcg steadi¬ ness and poetry to all his motions. It puts beautiful pictures in the eyes, ano so makes the outward world a delight and glory. For to the pure all things are pure. It exhales its own fragrance through evcry function and so makes the whole man re- doleatof grace and nmscular with strength. It chases all fear out of a man and makes him bold, brave truo. It is calm and poised iu great trust, f'or it "sees" and therefore has knowledge. It is a law to itself and a light to itsolf It is in the joy ofall bless¬ ings, for perfect purity is perfect life aud perfect life is perfect peace. First pure, then peaceable. It keeps a man from col¬ lision with cjn.science, Christ and God, and makes his lifo a part of the rythm of the universe, a full note in tho hymn of the angels.— Cliristian Radical.
Persuasion Better than Force.
Deal gontly with those who stray. Draw them back by love and persuasion. A kiss is worth a thousand kicks. A kind v.ord is more valuable to the lost than a mine of gold. Think of this, and be on your guard, ye who would chase to tho grave an erring brother. We must consult the gentlest manner and softest season of ad¬ dress; our advice must not fall like a vio¬ lent storm, bearing down and making these to droop whom it is intended to cherish and refresh. It must descend as the dew on the tender herb, or like melting flakes of snow; the softer it falls the longer it dwells upon and the deeper, it sinks into the mind. Ifthere are few who have the humility to receive adviee as they ought, if is often because there are few who havo the discretion to convey it in the proper way, and who can qualify the harshness and bitterness of reproof, agaiust which human'nature is apt to revolt. To probe the wound to thc bottom, with all the boldness and resolution ofa good spiritual surgeon, and yet with all the delicacy and tenderness of a friend, requires a very dex¬ terous and manly hand. An affable de¬ portment and complacency of behaviour will disarm the most obstinate; whereas if, inste.id of calmly pointing out their mis¬ takes, we break out into unseemly .sallies of passion, we cease to have any influence.
Frugality may be termed the daugh¬ ter of prudence, the sister of temperance, and the parent of liberty. He that is extravagant will quickly become poor, and poverty will enforce dependence and invite corrnption.
Modes of Walking.
An ingenious eotemporary gives the following summary of the different modes of walking adopted by those who go to and fro upon the earth :
Observing people move slowly; their heads move alternately from side to side, while they occasionally stop and turn around.
Careful persons lift their feet high and place them down slowly, picking up some little obstruction and placing it down by the side of the way.
Calculating persons generally walk with their pockets and their heads .slightly in¬ clined.
Modest persons generally step softly fijr fear of being observed.
Timid persons often step off from the sidewalk on meeting another, and always go around a stone instead of stepping over it.
Wide awake persons "toe out," and have a long swing of their arms, while their hands move along simultaneously.
Careless persons are forever stubbing their toes.
Lazy persons scrape abnut loosely with their heels, and are first on the side of the walk and then on the other.
Unstable persons walk fast and slow by turns.
Onc idea peisons are always very selfish ones, and "toe in."
Cross persons are apt to hit their knees together,
'Jood natured persons snap their fingers and thumb every few steps.
Fun-loving persons have a kind of jig movement.
How to Dress Children.
Now that winter is approaching, it be¬ hooves parents more than eve; to see that their children are clothed in such a man¬ ner as to protect them from the inclemency and sudden changes of the weather. Thc chief cause of infantile mortality, in addi¬ tion to foul air, too poor or too rich food, is the false pride of many mother.?. Chil¬ dren are killed by tho manner in which they are dressed as eertainly as by any other cause. In our changeable climate children of the most tender age are left with bare arms and legs and low-necked dresses. The mothers, in the same dresses, would shiver and suffer with cold, and es¬ pect a fit of sickness ae the result of their culpable carelessness. And yet the moth¬ ers could endure such a treatment with far less danger to health and life than their tender infants can. A moment's reflec¬ tion will indicat-f the effects of this mode of dressing, or rather want of dressing, on the child. The moment the cold air strikes its bare arms and legs the blood is driven from their cxtremeties to the internal and more vital organs. The result is conges¬ tion, to a greater or less extent, of those organs. In warm weather the heat will bring on affections of the bowels, and this mode of dressing may be reckoned as one of the chief causes of summer complaints. But in cold weather congestion and inflam¬ mation of the brain and Innss are the tp- sult. It is painful to see children thus drc^.sed like victims for sacrifice.
I Can Not, Sir.
A young man—wa will call him hone.st Frank—.who loved truth, v,'as a clerk in the oflice ofa rich merchant. Oue day a letter camo recalling an order for goods, which had beon received the day before. The merchant handed it to honest Frank, and, with a persuasive smile, said:
••Frank, reply to this note. Say thatthe goods were shipped beforo the receipt of the letter countermanding the order."
"Fr.ink looked into his employer's face with a sad but firm glance, and replied:
"I can not, sir."
"Why not, sir'!" asked the merehant angrily.
¦Because the goods are now in the yard, and it would be a lie, sir."
'•I hope you will always bo so particu¬ lar," replied tho merchant turning upon his heel, and going away.
Honest Frank did a bold, as well as a right thing. What do you suppose hap¬ pened to him? Did he lose his place? No; quite diffe;"ent. The merchant was too shrewd to turn away one who would not write a lying letter. He knew the untold value of such a youth, and at once made him his confidential clerk.
The Ku Klux Committee.
Wa.suingto.v November 1, 1871 Senator Scott, who is now here, lias be¬ gun thc examination of the Kuklux testi¬ mony for the purpose of preparing a draft ofthe report to be submitted to the com¬ mittee wheu it reassembles here on tbe 20th. The evidence taken here covers over twenty-two hundred printed pages, and that now being taken in Georgia, the Carolinas, Florida, Alab.ami, Mississippi, and Teflnessce will cover nearly as many more. About four hundred witnesses wore examined here, and more than that number have appeared beforo the travel¬ ing sub-couiniittee. The report on the financial condition of the South, whioh Senator Pool's subcommittee is endeavor¬ ing to make as completo as possible, will cover several hundred pages, and altogeth¬ er it is probable the report accompanying tlie testimony and documents will fill be¬ tween six and seven thousand pages. Sen¬ ator Scott feels quite confident that the Kuklux will be broken up in South Caro¬ lina, and that most of the leaders will eith¬ er be arrested or leave thc State. Judge Iloge writes from Columbia that they are terribly alarmed, and that the full over¬ throw of the conspiracy is more than pro¬ bable.
George 0. Evans was brought before Judge Pearson on a habeas corpus, on Friday last, on tho charge of embezzlement. A rule had .also boen granted on the Com¬ monwealth, to show causo why Evans should not be discharged from bail on the civil action to recover the money. The commonwcaith was represented by the Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General, and Hon. Wayne M'Veigh, and Mr. Evans by JIessrs. Hall and Briggs. On Monday Judge Pearson announced his decision, discharging Evans on tho embez¬ zlement, and reduced his bail in the civil action from $400,000 to 8100,000. And now that it is judicially determined that Evans is not guilty of embezzlomeiit, we hope the publio will await patiently thc trial of thc civil suit, which will determine how mach he owes the .State, and will en¬ force thc payment of whatever is due. Of all senseless clamors that ever disturbed the Commonwealth, that made about Evans, or rather the State Administration, has bsen the silliest, as most people now see, and all will in the end bo convinced.— Carlisle Herald.

Grumblers.
The world is full of grumblers. It is impossible to please everybody. Men grum¬ ble at fheir wives, their children, their friends, their preacher, their lawyer, and, more particularly, their editor, 'lhe latter named person is perhaps, of all others, most subject to kicks and cuffs, criticisms and objections, from evcry quarter. AVhen his duty is faithfully discharged, he is sure to displeaso some one. Al! men do not think alike, and hence what suits Peter does not always suit Paul, by any means. Ifwc write iu favor of temperance we of¬ fend the liquor men, aud it wo chance to say a word in favor of thc much-abused liquor men we have the temperance advo¬ cates about our ears. If we see merit iu some special act done in one of our churches and compliment it, we have to take the censures of others about whose churches we did not write. It wc expose hypocrisy by a fciV well-timed hits, the saints get it into their heads that we mea.i them and we are interrogated ou the street and in our office and subjected to loss oftime and a .score or two of annoying question.s. And so it goes tho year around, and doubtless will Conlinue to go until the grave closes over us, and even then, probably, some one will curse our memory andarish a man like us had nuvor lived. This is the way ofthe world. An editor has a hard life of it here. He earns his bread and butter with something even more thun thesweat of his face, and the crust is very often bitter from the recollection of the taunts and insults by which it was purchased. It re¬ quires the patience of Job, and a little superadded, to get along with some people, and yet v.e are satisfied that our readers are as clever as thc most of men and wo¬ men, and probably a little more so.

A Family Remarkable for Twins.
Jamestown, Russell county, Kentucky, there lives one of the most remarkable of families. Mr. James Jeffries, lately at¬ tending the United .States court in Lousi- villo, as a juror, tells the story. He says that ho Was married beibre he was .seven¬ teen years old, his wifu boing only five days younger than himself. They lived together seven years without children, when his wife gave birth to twins, a boy anda giil. In tho fifteen years whicii followed nineteen children were born to the happy couple, each of the first throe births being twins and each subsequent birth alternating between twins and single births until fifteen years were t cenmplished and nineteen children co'nposed the i'amily circle, seven pairs of twins being born during tho time. Mr. Jeffries is only forty- five years old and is still youthful in ap¬ pearance aud very stout. His wifo never had better heallh in all her life than at present, though she will not weigh 100 pounds. Ilcr greatest weight at any time was 110 pounds. The boy of the first twins now weighs Itif) pounds, the girl 125 pounds. All thc boys who are grown have made largo men; the girls arc ofgood size and all the children healthy. Bui r. .„ ...o uT L.c luneieua nave Qiua. Mr. Jeffries has ten brothers, all of whom are large men, and within the families of the eleven brothers there are thirty-seven pairs of twins, .jiaking seventy-four twin children ; to s.iy nothing of the host of single births. Five of jlr. .Jeffries' chil¬ dren are married, and added to all those singular facts, notwithstanding the absence of silvery locks on his head, he is the grand¬ father of five children.

Weariness.
BY HEV. r. A. KOBLK.
The clouds hang languid in the west.
Like sails when windj have sank to rest.
And slowly rolls the sun throngh haze.
As though the round of endless days.
From dawn till night, and night 111 dawn
Again, the ages on, had drawn
The spirit ofhis life away.
And quenched his zeal, and dimmed each ray.
And made the circuit ofthe sky
A task too difficult and high.
The brook runs low and slow and still,
•More stagnant pool than dancing rill;
And where it leaped in bright cascades.
And poured through grassy palisades.
Now scarce a ripple marks its flow.
Or flashes in the morning's glow.
With beauty gone and 'miuished force,
Aud hushed in all its sweet discourse,
And fel no more by mountain spring.
Tis but an empty, weary thing.
All sounds die out upon the air
Before its vihrunt chords can bear
Them over hill and mead and glen.
To be returned in sound again.
The birds, inactive, rest on vine And sheltered twig, nor once incline To break, with liquid note of song, The si.ence reigning over-long. Or if, for flight, they spread their wings. Rise awkwardly, with buffotings, LiKC aliens to the element la which their happy lives are spent. Thc cattle droop ; the flocks recline Beneath the shades of beech nnd pine; And something kin to tiredness All life QOth burden and oppress.
The quaint old mill within the vale,
Where orchards meet and merge in swale,
Xo longer grinds tho farmers' grists
Of golden grain, and nicely sifts
The line from coarse.    It rests and waits.
And pants for water nt the gates.
A few months gone, the splashing wheel
Went round and round, and corn to meal
It turned, and wheat to flour, and our
Hearts bent in awe before its power.
.\nd then it feebler grew, as daya
And weeks wore on, and all its ways
Were changed to lower keys, till one
By one each stone bad ceased to run.
And now a silent sentinel.
Whose lips refuse, but actions tell
The story of a round of deeds.
Whose usefulness is best of creeds.
It stands—imbrownei^, alone, acd mute,
A te.stimony none refute
To the lonr, impotent estate
Toward which all things do gravitate.
And halfway down tho long, steep hill, Close by a tree whose branches fill The sacks of boys at Autumn time, With nuts to match tjeir stores of rhyme, A bent old man, with locks of gray. That whiter grow from day to day. And limbs that once could leap and play, And now his weight can hardly stay. Toils upward, stepping low and slow. As laggard pulses beat and flow. But hard the task the bight to gain, Aud long tfao labor, sharp the pain, 'Neath burdeu of fourscore and ten He halts and rests and walks again, And forward looks, and backward, too. And wonders ifit can be trne Tbat this old hill remaius as yore, When he, and other youths a score, And maidens, roseate with health Aud resolution—best of wealth— Could scale its top ; nor feel it more Tban kittens sporting on the floor.
And more the helplessness of life. Till broko sbnil bo tho golden bowl. And loosed the silver chord of soul.
With weariness the whole world  groans ; And mingled are the sighs and moans That heavy hearts and aching brains .A.nd tired hands and feet in chains Force through the lips of those who bond Beneath their burdens, asking end Of trials, toil and sore distress; But finding more, instead of less.
It is not here.    Our rest remains Beyond this realm of tasks and paius ; And He who gives bis loved ones sleep Will grant it wheu the time is meet.
"Where is the Liquor?"
On a certain occasion one Paul Denton, a Methodist preacher in Texas, advertised a barbecue, with better liquor than is usu¬ ally furnished. When the people assem¬ bled, a desperado in the crowd cried out, "Mr. Paul Denton, your reverence has lied. You promised not only a good barbecue, but better liquor.    Where's the liqnor ?"
'There 1" answered the missionary, iu tones of thunder, and pointing his long, bony fingers at the matchless double spring, gushing up in two strong columns, wilh a sound like a shout of joy, from the bosom ofthe earth. •There I" he repeated, with a look terrible as lightning, while his ene¬ my actually trembled at his feet; "there is thc liquor which God, tho Eternal, brews for His children!"
"Not in tho simmering still, over smoky fires choked with p.oi9onon9 gases, and sur¬ rounded with the stench of sickening odors and corruption, doth your Father in heaven prepare the precious essence of life—pure cold water. But in the glade and grassy dcll, where the red deer wander and the child loves to play, there God brews it; and doTvn,low down in the deepest valleys, where the fountain murmurs and the rills sing ; and high up on the mountain tops, where the naked granite glitters like gold in thc sun, where the storm cloud broods and th'! thunder storms crash; and out on the wide, wide sea, where the hurricane howls music, and the big waves roar the chorus, sweeping the march of God—there he brows it—beverage of life, health-giving watQr. And everywhere it is a thing of beauty, gleaming; in the dewdrop, singing in the summer rain, shining in the ice-gem, till they seem turned to living jewels; spreading a golden veil over the setting sun, or a while gauze around the midnight moon; sporting in the cataract, sleeping in the glacier, dancing in the hail-shower; folding its bright curtains softly around the wintry world, and weaving the many- colored bow, that seraph's zone of the air, whose warp is the raiu-drops of the earth and whose woof is the sunbeams of heaven, all checkered ov.irwith thc celestial flowers of the mystic hand of refraction—that blessed life-water. No poisonous bubbles on its brink; its foam brings not madness and murder; no blood stains its liquid glass ; pale widows and starving children weep not burning tears in its depths! Speak out, my friends; would you exchange it for the demon's drink, alcohol V
A shout like the roar oftho tempest an¬ swered, "No "'—John B. Gough.
