'lost—SOMEBODY'S CHILD.
DV  TDOMAS  MACKELLAR.
isomcbody'fi cbild is lost to-night!
I hoar the hellman ring; Aud tfao eartb ie frozen bard and white,
Aud tho wiud has a nipping sting. I know my babes aro long abed,
A tender motherly hand. Laying a blessing on every head After their evening prayers were aaid—
Rod keep tbat filumbcringbandl Yet somebody's child is loat, I eay,
This uigbt so bitterly cold, Somo ionuccnl lamb baa gone astray
Uowiltingly frotn its fold. " Bellman t ho, bellman, whoso child is lost?"
And I grasp my atiCf and cloak; But the ringer over tho world has cross'd
Dcfurc I tardily spoke. The neighbors aoon gather, and far and near
Wo pry into ditch and fen. Till, hark ! an answering shout I hoar—
Tho rover is found again. Ah! mother, fund motber, your heart is light
With Juy to your bosom bound j But many a cbild is lost to-night Who'U novor, no, never bo found.
Ay : somebody's child is lost to-night.
While tbe wind is bi^b and hoarse. And tho scudding ship, liko a bird a-fright
Flics fbivcringon its course. Sbo suddenly drops in tbo yawning dcop
As never to return ; Sho leapi atop the watery steep,
A-creaking from stem to stern. Hold well, good hark! for a score of lives
Compri:^o tby costliest freight; Else loving niytbers, and maids, and wives
Will evor be deaolate. And welt aho holds, witb a single sail
Outspread to guide her way, While dU tbe furies oftho galo
Around her bulwarks play. Tbo sailor-boy, with a feiirlui heart,
Sigbs for his diitaut bomi:. And thu hasty teuri from his eyelids titart,
And drop in ihe^riny foam. In tbo months aguno a fatber sigh'd,
And a mother trembled witb fear.s ; But that father's law had ho deQod,
Aod he scorn'd lhat mother's tears. Tbo pitiless blast now'mocks his grief,
And a hugo and hungry wavo Bears bim away beyond relief,
To lho depths of an ocean grave— The brand is blazing upon tbe hearth,
The work of the day is dune, And lho father's heart ruus over the earth
In search of the wandering son. "Oh ! whero is our poor boy to-night—
Thia night so bleak and wild ?" The mother shuts her oyes to tho light.
And inly prays for her child. Tbe busy needles all ceaso their flight,
Whilo their hearts say, " Where is he?" They dream not ho has sunken from sight,
Down, down, down in tho sea. Tho mother may pray, and sbo may woep
Till ahe weep her lifo away. But never more will sbo find tbe sheep
That wilfuUy went astray.
Somebody's child is lost to-night)
Oh i sorrow is ou the day When a virgin's fame is marr'd with blight
That CBDDot be cleansed away. An humble family sit in the gloom.
Bemoaning their hopeless shame— Would that she were safo in tho tomb
With honor upun her namo! While deck'd in garments of aatin and sin,
Tbo fallen daughter, I ween. Is scorcb'd wilh a fever of heart within.
Though reigning as wanton-quocn. 0 merciful Father! is this tho child
Thy hand created so fair, "With eyes where simple innoconco smiled.
And eoy and maidenly air ? Is this tho promiaing morning-flower,
The brightest its rivals among? Is this the bird tbat sang in tho bower
With sweetest and merriest tongue ? Ah me! thia child is more than lost;
Forher low-fallen form. On sin's voluptuous surges tost.
Will perish in passion's storm. And the mother may sigh, and she may weep
Till she weep her Hfe away, But never mnre will sbe find tho sheep
Tbat wickedly went astray.
Somebody's child is lost to-night—
A widow's only son, With brow as light and eye as bright
Asyou ever look upon. *' And be wiil bo my staff and atay"—
Her words wero inly spoken— Wben I am old and my beart is gray.
And my natnral strength is broken." Her motherly soul witb pride o'orran As thc lad grow up to tbo estate of man, And said, in her joy, Thnt nobody's boy Could match her paragon hy a span.- Ttme stole along, and her locks wero gray.
But ber heart bad lost its prido; For the man had wander'd so far astray,
'Twero better tho boy had died. A loathsumo, rile, and gibbering thing, Stung by tho fatal still-worm sting, Despised of man, contemning God, And gnashing at tho avenging rod Wherewith his passions scourged him sore, Tiii, faiuiiug, he could ieel no moro,— Ah! somcbjdy'a cbild was luat in him When ho touk up Tbe wassail cup. And sipp'd perdition from iis brim. Tben bis manhood died,
Aud the beautiful boy Ofbia mother's pride Spilt'd in the saud tbe cup of ber joy. loEtead, sho quaff'd A wormwood draught, A eorely-smitten woman; Yet loved she still, Through every ill. The child so scarcely human. In weariness and wnlcbings often,
Unmurrauriugly her grief sbe boro, Until, unwrapt in shrowd or cofBn, Uer son lay dead befure her door. Her sorrows had como so thick and faet They clustered round her everywhere, Till, reason utterly overcast,
The darkness bid away her care. Yet oft-times would ahe ask for one Long gone from humo, ber beaatiful son ; And while she cbided his long delay, 8he would sigh, and whimper, and pray. That motber will sigh, and sho will weep
Till she weep her life away; But never more will eho find tho sheep That wickedly went astray.
So many children are lost to-night
That I, even I, could weep Aa 1 bear the breathings, soft and Hght,
From the crib wbero Tommy's asleep. And I strain my vision to pieroa tbe clouds
That hang over years to come j But utter darkness tbo future shrouds.
And tho tongue of tbe sAr is dumb. So I lay them down in tbo bosom of grnoe
The children whom Ood haa given, Trusting he'll bring them too see bis faoe,
Tfae faoe of our Lord in heaven.
L&dy Yarmouth aaked Garriok one day wby Lore was alwajB represented as a ofaild t E^ xeplted« "becanse Lore never reaobea the ag« of wiidom and experienoe."
Sreakfast wu jtut orer at the Parsonage, the table waa oleared away, the chain setback and Mzs. Ashton in a neat morning dresa, with a pretty Uttle oap on her pretty little head, waa etandlng with her arm orer her tall hns- banl'a shoalder looking at the mornilog paper. And aa fine looking a pair they were as yoa are likely to see on a sammer*a day. The Rer. Clement Ashton was indeed regarded as tbe handsomest man in the world, and that with good reason. Whether he ever had an idea of his own on the sabjeot, was entirely his own sffiilr.
Mra. Ashtonj aa she was styled by the parish —Christiana aa her godfather and godmother named her—Chrissy as her brothers and her hnaband called her—was not asnally regarded aa remarkably handsome. Her featares were not very regalar, and ahe waa not Tery fair, bat her eyes were so bright and so clear, her fignre so elaatio and trim, her abandant hair, and above alt, her frank easy manner, and tfae expression of sanny good temper and perfeot opennesal ighting np her faoe,mad6 moat people consider her a very attraotlre woman. Every one in the parish liked faer, from the two old people who aat near the stov<i in ohoroh and always came aroand to get their dinner at the parsonage on Snnday, to Mrs. Br. Rash, who was by far the grandest lady in the parish.
Mr. and Mrs. Ashton had been married aboat six month8,-after~ an engagement of almoat three yeara, daring which time they faad ooiresponded vigoronaly, bnt faad seen very Uttle of eaofa other, for Mr. Aahton was an assistant in sn overgrown parish in one of onr larger cities, and oonld seldom be apared; and Chrissy waa a teacfaer in anotfaer great city, wfaere sbe sapported faerself and helped by her labors to edncate one of her brothers for the ministry. It was not till this brother had fioished fais studiea, and was on an inde¬ pendent footing tbat sfae had oonsented to be married.
" George oannot snpport faimaelf entirely," she said, in anawer to the remonstrance of her lover; "he is not atrong enough to labor aa many of tfae yonng men do, and he needs my help. I know tfaat fae has talenta tfaat will make him eminently usefal in tbe oalling be has ohosen; I know, too, that if fae attempta any more than he is doing, fais faealtfa will fail, and he will become diacouraged. Yoa must content yoarself to board awhile longer with yoar good friend Mrs. Bicker, Clement."
And to thia resolation sfae ste fadfastly adher¬ ed, despite Clement's persuasions and those of George faimself, who was much distressed at the thonght that fais sister's marriage afaould be put off on his acconnt. Under these cir¬ onmatances the lovers did not see eaoh otfaer, and tfaey were finally married witfaoat ChrisBy ever faaving auspected faer fausband of any in¬ firmity of temper. Bhe had snffeied mnch on discovering that sacfa was tbe oaae, and felt inclined aometlmea to wisfa efae faad never been diaenofaanted; bnt sfae was a very wise woman; she knew her hnaband^s intrinsic excellencies, and his strengtfa as well as weakneaa, and altering an old maxim to anit faer pnrpoae, ahe resolved both to endure aud cure.
" What do you set about to-day ?" said sfae, as Mr. Ashton, arose from the comer of tbe sofa, having exhauated the paper.
" Visiting," replied hia reverence. " I mnat go np to old Mrs. Calcomb's and see tbe Joneses, and try to prevail on Phil Taggart to let fais children oome to Snnday Scfaool onoe more. Tfaen I have to aee Maggie Carpenter wfao is much worse again; and lfi have time I ahall get Into tfae omnibus and ride out to the mills to aee that girl Mias Flower mention¬ ed to me yesterday."
" Wfaat a round I" exclaimed Chrissy.— " Yoa will never get home to dinner at two o*clock. I think I will pat it off till six, and ran the risk of being thought " stuuk ap," like poor Cousin Lilty." " Wbat do yoa mean ?" " Why, you know they always dine at sis to auit the Doctor's arrangements. One day Lilly called abont some aociety matter on a lady who live not a faundred milea from faer street, about five o'oiook in tfae afternoon.— The lady heraelf oame to the door, and Lilly was abont entering, when she tfaougfat she per¬ oelved the smell of roast beef in the faall, and said very politely perhaps it is now your din¬ ner hour ?"
" ' Ko indeed 1' replied madam, with indig¬ nation. ' We don't dine at this time of day; we sre not so stuck np. I' "
"Poor Lilly!" exolaimed Mr. Ashton, laughing.    *' What did he aay ?"
" 0, afae did her errand and retired, of conree.   There was notfaing to be aaid."
Mr. Aahton tnmed to go into the atudy, and as he did so, fais foot caught in the oarpet, and he was nearly tlirown down. Chrissy started in alarm, bnt he recovered himself, and aaid pettishly—
"Ido wish yoa woald have that carpet nailed down. I faave stumbled over it twenty times in tfae oourse of a week, I realty be¬ lieve.* '
"I thought Amy faad faatened it down,*' replied hia wife with perfect mildness. "I am sore I saw faer at work there. Tbe door muat pull it out of place, I tfaink."
"01 of oourse there is some excellent rea¬ aon for it being out of order. It seems to me that witfa all yonr ingenuity you might find some way of making it more aeonre."
He tumed into his stndy, shutting the door after him witfa unnecessary force and Mrs. Ashton retamed to to tfae fire and arranged her work basket for tfae day, witfa sometfaing of a cloud on faer face. Sfae waa not left long andislnrbed, for Mr. Asfaton'a voice was soon heard calling her in an impatient tone. She sighed, but arose and entered tfae next room, wfaere ehe found her fausband before his bareaa partly dressed, and with sbirta, hand¬ kerobiefa and cravats scattered abont bim, like a new kind of snow, while his face bore an expression of melancholy reproach at once painful and Indioroua.
" What ia the mattei f" she aaked. "0, the old atory. No button wfaere it ought tobe I Not a sfairt ready for wearl I do not mean tobe unreasonable," fae con¬ tinued .in an agitated voioe aa he tumbled over tbe things, to the manifeat diaoompoaure Ofthe clean linen, "bat really, Cbriaay I think yoa might aee that my olothes are in order. I am sure that I would do more thao that fer you, but bere I am delayed and put to the greateat inconvenience, because you oannot aew on these buttons. I shonid tbink tfaat a little oftfae time yoa apend in writing to George and Henry migfat as well be bestow¬ ed on me."
Tfais address was delivered in a tone of mournful diatresa whiofa migfat have been jostified, perfaaps, if Mrs. Aahton had picked bia pocket of his sermon as fae was going to ohnrch.
" What Is the matter with this sfalrt?" awd Chiaay, qnietly examining one ofthe discarded garments. " It aeema to have all the buttona in their plaoe; and this one, too, is quite per¬ feot; and here is another. My dear hasband how many shirts do you nanally wear at a time?"
"01 it ia very well for yon to smile, my love, but I do assure you I found aeverai with no means of fastening tfae wriatbanda. We faad breakfasted late; and now I shall be de¬ tained half an faonr wfaen I ought to be away. I know yon mean well; bnt Ifyon faad aerved a year's apprenticeahip to my motfaer before yon were married, it migfat faave been all tfae better for your houaekeeping."
It might have prevented it altogether," tfaongfat Chrissy; but the thonght was re¬ pressed in a moment. Bhe picked up and re¬ placed tfae scattered apparel, folded the snowy cravata, warmed her husband'a overahoea, and saw tfae that beaiitifal little oommnnion service presented by a lady of the parish, and conse¬ crated to snoh sii^rera as Maggie Carpenter, was in radiness. Before hs left tbe Honse, Mr. Ashton had forgotW both fall fretfuiness and IU cause.   He Idased his wife, thankwl
her for her trouble, and proposed tbat she shoald send for Lilly to spend the day with her, and strode away withhis Tuaal elutloity of step.
Chrissy watched him from the door till he tnmed Into tfae next street,' and then went back to the fire side, and her own reflection.
The fretfalness and tendency to be disturb¬ ed at little matters, was almoat her husband'a only fault. He was aelf-aaorlfioing to the laat degree; falthfal and indefatigable aa an apos¬ tle, almoat, in faia profeasional labors, liberal to a fault, and In hla adminiatration, of pariah matters, wise and oonolllating to all. He ooald bear injurious, real injuries, with the greatest patience, snd was never known to show resentment.
Bat with all these good qaalitiea, Mr. Aah ton had one fault—a faalt whioh threatened to diaturb and finaUy deatroy the oomfort of married life. If hia wife by extravaganoe or bad management wasted fala Income and in¬ volved him in difficulties, it ia probable that he would never have apoken an unkind word to faer; but tfae fact of a batton being miaaed, or a book removed from its plaoe, would pro¬ duce a lamentation half indignant and half patfaetio, whioh mng in Cluissy ears and made her faeart ache after Clement had forgotton the ciroumstance altogether. Strange as it may aeem, Mr. Aahton never thought of tfaia habit, of which he waa bat imperfectly oon¬ scions, as to ita being a fault.
He thought, indeed, tfaat it waa a pity fae ahoald be aensltive, and sometimes said that he wished he had not auch love of order and aymetry, for then he ahonld not be so often annoyed by the disorderly habits of otfaer peo¬ ple. He faad aaid to himself tfaat It waa one of hia peculiar trials, tfaat even Cfariasy, per¬ feot aa sbe waa, did not oome op to his ideas tfais reapeot; bat that the temper with whiofa fae met wfaat fae was pleasted to oall his pecu¬ liar triala, ever became a trial to other people, he did not imagine. He faad indeed remarked in spite of himself, tfaat Gfariasy's faoe was not as ofaeerfnl, nor her spirits aa light aa wfaen tfaey were first married, and he regretted that the cares of hoaaekeeping should weigh so heavily npon her; faut notbing was furtfaer from faia thoaghts tfaat anything ia himself could have produced tfae change.
Mr. Asliton exhausted with fais day's work, tamed towards home with hismind fullof all he had seen and felt. He said very little dtiring dinner, but when the table cloth was removed, and fae eat down in faia dresaing gown and slippers before the fire, fae related to fais wife all tfae eventa of the day, deaerib¬ lng with all the enthuaiaam ofhis earnest natnre, the patience and faoly resignation he had witnessed, and ended by saying—
"Certainly religion haa power to auatain and console nnder all triala, and under every misfortune—"
"Excepting tfae lossof a button," replied Chrissy, seriously. " That is a misfortune which neither philosophy or religion can en¬ able one to anstain."
The Rev. Mr. Asbton atarted as tfaongfa a pistol had been diacbarged at his ear. " Why, wbat do you mean, Chrissy ?" " Jnat what I aay," returned Chriaay, with the aame soberness. '* Yourself, for instance; you can bear with the greatest resignation the losa of friends, and misfortane.
"I never saw you rnfled by rudeness or abnse from others, or show any impatience nnder aevere pain ; bnt tbe loss of a button from yonr shirt, or a nail from the carpet gives you a perfect right to be unreasonable, unkind, and I must say It—nnohriatian."
Mr. Ashton aroae and walked np and down the room in aome agitation,
" I did not tbink, my love," he said at last, in a trembling tone, " that you wonld attaoh so much importance to a eingle haaty word;— perhapa I apoke too quickly; fant even if it were so, did we not promise to be patient witfa eacfa otfaer's infirmitiea ? I am very glad to bear with—"
Mr. Ashton paused; he waa an eminently a tmthfol man, and npon oonaideration, he could not remember that fae ever had anything to bear from faia wife, satde from tfae sfairt but¬ tona, etc., wfaiofa he was now beooming oon- aoious he had not bome very patiently.
" If it were once, once my dear fausband, I should aay nothiog about It; but yoa do not aeem in the least awar^ how tfae habit faaa grown upon yon. Tfaere haa not been a day thia week in wbloh yoa have not made my heart ache fay some sncb outburst of fretfnll- ueaa.
Mr. Ashton waa astoniahed; bnt aa he be¬ gan to reflect he waa stilt more aurprised to find tfaat fais wife's acogaationa were qnite true.
One day it faad been about the front door mat, the next about a mislaid review, and then a lost pair of gloves, which after all were fonnd in hia own pooket. He felt that it was all true, and his own conaoience brought for¬ ward one instance of unkindness after another —real unkindnesa—he sat down again ahd covered his face with hia hands.
" Bnt tbis ia not the worst," oontinned Chrissy, beooming agitated In time. "I fear —I cannot help fearing—that I sfaall be led to feel as I ought not towards you. I fear lest I shall in time loae tfae power of respecting my husband; and when respect goes, Clement, love does not tast long. Thia very morning I fonnd myself wishing I had never known you.*' Chiiasy bnrat into teara, an unuaual demon¬ stration for her; and Clement aprlnging up once more traversed tfae room onoe or twioe, and then sat down by his wife's side.
"Christiana," Ue said moumfnlly, " I bave deaerved—I feel tfaat I have but to loae yoar respect, your love,—my punishment ia greater than I can bear, Chrissy.**
** It was but the thonght of a momeat," re¬ plied Cfariasy, cfaecking faer sobs ; " faut I am frightened that tbe idea shonid faave entered my faead. If I sbouid, I would rather die tfais moment."
" God forbid 1" ejaoulated faer hasband, as he clasped her in fais arms. " But wfay, my dearest, faave yon never told me of tfaia be¬ fore ?"
" It is neither a gratefnl uor a graceful offioe for a wife to reprove faer hnsband, or a woman her paator," replied Chriaay, laying her head oh fais shonider; "and if I faad not been left faere all day, I tliink I ahould hardly got np my courage now. But if I you are not angryj I am glad tbat I have told yoa all tfaat was in my faeart; for indeed^ my dear, it has been a ead, aofayig faeart this time. And now I mnst tell yon how tbose two anluoky shirts came to be buttonlesa."
*'No,don't say one word about them, my love," aaid Clement impatiently. "I will never complain again, if the sleeves are miaa¬ ing aa well aa tbe buttona."
"Bat I muat tell you, beoause I really mean to faave my faonsekeeping affairs in as good order as any one. I waa looMng over yonr shirts yesterday afternoon, and pnt them all to rights but tbese two, when Mra. Lennox oanie in in great distress, to asy tfaat faer sis¬ ter's efaild waa mncfa worse, and tfaey feared dying; ao I dropped all and went over tfaere. You know how it was. No one faad any calm- nesa or preaence of mind. The ohild's oon- Tulaiona wfaere firightfnl to witness; the moth¬ er was in hysterics, and Mrs. Lennox waa worse tfaan nobody at all. It was nearly mid¬ night before I oonld get away, and in the meantime Amy had put the room in order, and reatored the ahirta to theirplaoea."
Here Amy put her head Into the room. " If yoa pleaae, Missus, a yoang woman in tfae kitchen would like to aee Missus a minute." Missus aroae and went into the kitchen, and Mr. Aahton, taking a candle from the table, entered the study and looked himself In. Chrissy waited for a long time, and at last went and tapped at the door. It was opened to her with a fervent kiss, and though there were not many words said on eitfaer side, there was a light In the eyea of tfae has¬ band and wife whioh showed the nndentand' Ing was p«r&ot between thfm.
A GOOD IBYESTUENT.
BT VBSBMAS  HUHT.
"Can yon lend me two thonsand dollars to establlsh'xayseU In a small retail bnaineaa ?" inquired ayoung man not yet out of fala teens, of a middle aged gentleman, wfao was poring over fais ledger in the counting room of one of the largeat establiahments in Boaton. The peraon addresaed'tnmed towarda the apeaker, and regardAg faim for a moment with a look of surprise, inqnired,—
"What seonrity can you give me, Mr, Stroaaer ?"
" Nothing bnt my note," replied the yonng man promptly.
'* Wfalofa I fear would be below par ia mar¬ ket," replied tfae mercfaant, smiling.
"Perhapa ao," sud the young man; "but, Mr. Barton, remember that the boy la not tfae man; the time may oome when Hiram Stros- aer's note will be aa readily accepted aa tfaat of any other man."
" True, ,Tery trae," replied Mr. Barton, mildly; " bnt yon know busineaa men seldom lend money without adequate aecurity; other¬ wiae they might soon be rednoed to penury."
At thia remark the young man'a countenance became very pale, and having observed a si¬ lenoe of aeverai moments, he inquired, in a voioe whose tonea indicated his deep disap¬ pointment,—
" Then yoa oannot accommodate me—oan you?"
" CaU upon me to-morrw, and I will give you a reply," said Mr. Barton, and the yonng man retired.
Mr. Barton resumedhis labors at the desk; fant hla mind was so muoh npon tfae boy and faia aingular errand, that he oonld not pursne hia taak with any correctness ; and after faav¬ ing made several sad bluadera, fae closed the ledger, and took his hat, and went out npon the street.
Arriving opposite the atore of a wealtfay merohant npon Milk Street, fae entered tfae door.
" Good moraing, Mr. Hawley," said fae, ap¬ proaching the proprietor of tfae establisfament, who was aeated at his desk, counting over the profits of tfae week.
"Good morning,'* replied the mercfaant, blandly. "Happy to aee you. Have a seat? Any newa ?   How's trade 7"
Witfaont noticing tfaeae ineterrogations, Mr. Barton said,—
" Young Stroaaer ia deairoua of eatabliafaing' himaelf in a small retail buainess in Wash¬ ington Street, and oalled this morning to se¬ oure of me a loan of two tfaousand dollars for tfae pnrpoae.'*
"Indeed 1" exolaimed Mr.Hawley, evident¬ ly aurprised at tfals announcement; " but you do not think of lending that aum—do you ?"
" I do not know," repUed Mr. Barton. " Mr. Stroaser ia a youngman of business talent aud atriot integrity, and will be likely to succeed in whatever fae undertakes."
" Perhapa ao," replied Mr. Hawley, doubt¬ fully ; " but I am heartily tired of helping to eatabliafa tfaeae young aapirants for oommeroial faonors."
" Have you ever suffered from sucfa a conrae!" inqnired Mr. Barton, at tfae same time casting a rognlafa glanoe at Mr. Hawley.
" No," replied the latter, " for I never felt inolined to make an investment of that kind."
"Then here is a fine opportunity to do so. It may prove better than stook in the bank. As for myself, I faave concluded tfaat, if you wiU advance faim one tfaonsand doUara, I will oontribute an equal aum."
" Not a single farthing would I advance for such a purpoae; and if you make an invest¬ ment of that kind, I shall consider you very foolish."
Mr. Barton was silent for several minutes, and then arose to depart.
" If you do not feel disposed to share with me in thia enterpriae, I shall advanoe the whole aum myaelf."
Saying whiofa, fae left tfae store. *********
Ten yeara faave paased away ainco the oo¬ onrrence of the converaation recorded in tfae preceding dialogne, and Mr. Barton, pale and agitated, ia atanding at the same deak aa wben firat introduoed to tfae reader's attention: As page after page of fais ponderous ledger was examined, fais despair became deeper and deeper, till at last fae exolalmed,— " I am mined—utterly ruined I" " How BO I'* inquired Hiram Stroaser, who eutered the counting room in season to hear Mr. Barton's remark.
"Tbe laet European ateamer brought newa of the failure of the faouse of F^rtefa, Jackson and Co., of Loodon, who are indebted to me in tbe aum of nearly two hnndred thouaand dol¬ lars. Newa of the failnre has become general, and my oredltors, panic stricken, are preaaing forpayment of their demands. The banks re¬ faae me credit, and I faave not tfae meana to meet my liabUIties. If Icould paaa this crisis, perbaps I conid rally again; but it is impoasi' ble ; my oreditora are importunate, and Ican¬ not mnoh longer keep above tfae tide," replied Mr. Barton.
" Wfaat ia the extent of your liabilities ?" inqnired Strosser.
" Seventy five thouaand doUars," replied Mr. Bai ton.
" Would that sum be sufficient to relieve yoa ?" " It would."
''Thensir, yon shallhave it,"saidStrosser aa be atepped up to the deak, and drew a check for twenty tfaousand dollars. " Here, take tfaisi and wfaen yon need more, do not heaitate to call upon me. Bemember that it waa from you I received money to eatabliafa myaelf in busineaa."
"Bat that debt waa oanoelled aeverai years ago," replied Mr. Barton, as a ray of hope ahot across his tronbled mind.
"True"' replied Stroaaer, "but the debt of gratiiude that I owe has never baen cancelled; and now that tfae scale is tumed, I deem it my duty to oome up to tfae resone."
At tfaia aingulat tnrn in the tide of fortune, Mr. Barton fairly wept for joy.
Every olalm against him was paid as soon aa presented, and In less than a montfa fae faad paased tfae orisis, and stood perfectly safe and secure; faia credit increased and fals basiness improved, while several others sank under the blow, tfaey oould not rally, among whom was Mr. Hawley, aUuded to at the commence¬ ment of this artiole.
" How did you manage to keep above the tine?" inqnired Bir. Hawley of Mr- Barton, one moming, several montfas after the events last recorded, ashe met the lalter upon the street, on his way to his plaoe of business.
"Very easily, Indeed, Itian assure yon," re¬ plied Mr. Barton.
" Well, do teU me how," oontinned Mr. Hawley; " I lay olaim to a good degree of shrewdneaa, bat the atrongest exeroise of my wits did not save me; and yet yoa, whom li- ablitities were twice as heavy as my own, have stood the shock, and have oome off even better by the storm."
"Tfae trutfa is," replied Mr. Barton. "I cashed my paper as soon as it waa aent in."
* * I snppoae ao," said Mr. Hawley, regarding Mr. B. with a look of surprise ; bnt how did you obtain tbe money ? I could not get a dol¬ lars oredit: the banks refused to take my paper, and my friends even deaerted me."
" A little inveatment tfaat I made some ten yeara ago," replied Mr. Barton amUing, " baa recently proved exceedingly profltable."
" Investment I', echoed Mr. Hawley—"what investment ?"
" Wfay, do yoa not remember how I estab¬ lished yoang Strosser in baslneas some ten yeus ago.
"O, yes, yea," repUed Mr. Hawley, as a ray of suapicion lighted up hia coontenanoe * bnt wfaat of that?"
"Heia now one of the litest dry gooda dealers In the oity, and'when this oalamity oame on, te cam* fbrmud, and Toygenexoos^ lyadraaotd ma for«B^:&T9. tfaonMiid doUazs.

Daring this announoement, Mr. £[awley*s eyea were bent intently upon the groand, and, drawing a deep aigh, he moved on, dejeated and sad, while, Mr. Barton retamed to his place of fauaineaa, witfa faia mind cheered and animated fay tfaoughts of faia aingalar iuveat- ment.

A 6T0BT FOE THE LITTLE FOLKS.
WHEIT VACATION COMES.
Maroua Farman was attending aofaool in tfae lovely town of Bingen on the bank of the Rhine. He waa only eleven yeara old, and his parenta lived ten mUea'in the ooantry.— He was boarding with a widow lady wfao took very good oare of him. But every Fri¬ day aftemoon the stage atopped before the aofaool house door to take him out to his coautry home, and ths next Monday moming fae returned to sohool again.
'' Wfaat are yoa looking for Maroua ?" asked fais motfaer one Friday evening, about a faalf- faoar after they faad all got up from the sap¬ per-table.
" For tfae Almanao, mother, I oan't find it anywhere."
"You will find in it my work-basket. But I oan tell you the day of the montfa witfaont that trouble.   It is the eighth of Jane."
" Oh I I know the day of the month. That is not wbat I wiafa to flnd; but on wfaat day oftfae week tfae eigfateentfa of July comes, and tfaen faow many days our vaoation will laat. Let me see now—tfairty-aix daya I— That is plenty loug enough for what I want." " What do you want to do in vacation, Marcus 7" bis mother asked.
" I will tell you. I want you and pa to let sister Flora and me make a visit to 0nole Thomas. What a splendid castle he has down tfae Rhine I What vineyards, and fiooks, aud parks, and gardens I And just tfaink, motfaer, that we have not seen Uncle Tfaomas for a whole year."
"Bat where wUt yon get money from, to pay yout travelling expenses ? Your fatfaer may not faave it to spare. Besides, you will need some very faandaome clothea .if yon spend yonr vaoation with your Unole Thomaa. And whom will you get to go witfa you ? I would not trust yon ahd little Flora alone ao long a distance."
"I tfaink that can all be fixed," answered Marcus, whoae eyes sparkled like two great diamonds, in ho^'e of tfae vacation jonmey.— "Flora and I faave already twenty-five dollars in our money-ohest, and if we can add ten more to it, I am sure we ahall faave enougfa for aU our wants. I will work every Saturday in Mr. WaUen's vineyard, and I think there wUl be no doubt about raiaing the whole aum. We would want Annt Julia to go with ua.— She would take good oare of us, and walk ont with us every day wfaile we are making our visit to Unole Thomaa."
JasL then Aunt Julia entered tfae room.— Marcus told faer all his plana, and she agreed to accompany tfaem if their parents would give their consent to tfae joarney. So next day it waa fnliy decided that Aunt Julia, and Marcus and Flora, sfaoald pay a long visit to Unclj Thomas.
Marcus pat tfae Almanao into fais pooket, 80 sbat Le could often refer to it, and ooant tfae days and hoars that mnst pass before va¬ oation. Many a time dii he apeak afaout it on Satnrday and Sanday, and aay to hia mother: " Wtiat a good time we wiU have wfaen vaca¬ tion comes 1 She invariably told him that he must not depend too mnoh on his plana. " It is never aafe to trust to the fntare," sfae would add; "fori faave many a time been disappointed wben I least expeoted to be."
"Bat, mother," fae answered, "wfaat contd faappen in so sfaort a time to prevent our visit to Uncle Thomas ? We are all well, Aant Julia ia going with ua, we will have money enough, and I can't think faow anything oonld hinder us from our journey down the Rhine. What a good time we'll have token vacation comea.'"
Again his mother told faim not to depend on tfae fatnre. " Kven if you were intending to go to-morrow," sfae said, "aometfaing might break np all your plans. Sappose some of na were to be very sick; I am sure you would not want to go and leave us."
'* I don't see faow that oan be. None of ua have beeu sick, pa said tfae otfaer day, for two years. So it is not likely that any one In oa** family will get aiok between the eigfatfa of Jane and the eigfateentfa of July. And that ia ¦when vacation comes!^'
Marcus was unconvinced, but atiU hla mother told him that " man propoaes bnt God dia- poses." lie and Flora went oat to take a Uttle walk, and they talked about nothing else- What flowers.tfaey would pluck, wfaat sails tfaey would have on the Rhine, what presenst they wonld getfrom Unole Thomaa. All thess, and a handred more thiuga they talked afaout, expeoting to enjoy tfaem xohen vacation comea. Wfaen Marcus went to scfaool next week fae told his playmates what fae was going to do and wfaere fae was going in vaoation. And wfaen fae retumed to his parents on Friday evening, he did nothing bnt talk abont his splendid jouraey. His first expression was : i' Another week less before vaoation comes 1*' He counted the faours, and every time fae oame home he used to say: " How long the days are I Time never went so slow before.*' Finally, the laat week came. And as Marcos went oat to get into the atage fae aaid:
" When I oome faome again, vacation will ba here. Now, Aunt Julia, faave everytfaing ready, eo tfaat we can start next moming. Good-by, won't we faave a pleafant time when vacation corneal"
"Haiti halt 1" ahouted Marcus's fatfaer to tfae atage driver aa he waa driving off, " I have a parcel for my son.*' And out oame Mr. Forman witfa a good sized package.
" Marcus, take tfaese pamphlets to ths book¬ binder in Elm atreet, and tell faim to have them bound for you in time to bring tfaem out with you on Friday evening.*'
" I wUl attend to it, pa. There witl be no miatake, and when you get tfas books, vaca¬ tion will be here.**
When noon oame that day, Marcus took the booke to tfae bookbhider. He lived In tfae third story of an old honse, and whoever went to aee him had to fae very oareful tfaat hs did not faU down tfae narrow, dark atairs. But Marons waa not a&aid,and soon he was in tfae preaence of tfae old bald-headed bookbinder. He told him what he wanted, and that the booka mnat be dons by next Friday.
"I have never disappointed anybody wfaen I ooold pnT«atiV'said tiu old maa.   'fToa
"Vaoation oomea next Friday," said Marcos to tfae old bookbinder. " I sappose yoa hard¬ ly know wfaat vaoation is, do yon ?"
"Oh! yes. Sofaoolboys* vaoations are like a great many otfaer things .tfaat cannot be trusted. My son Andrew was looking forward to his vaoation a year ago with a great deal of pleasure. Bnt jnst before it oame, he was taken sick with a severe rheumatism, and fae has never been able to help me bind books sinoe. Hannah, his Uttle aister, spenda all her time in nursing faim. He Is now lying in tfae faat&room on his bed, and would bs glad to faave yoo cfaat with him awhile."
" I haven't got tfae ttme now," eaid Marons, " bnt may be I ahall faave when I come after tfae books next Friday."
" Before yoo leave, however,*' said the old man," let me tell yoo not to depend too mnoh on your vacation. Yoo may be slok a-bed, A great many people are sick in Bingen. The dootorssayit is tfae ofaolera; and yoo know wfaen that disease gets hold of anybody, he oan not Uve long. Yon may get siok, too.— Yoo moat fae very oarefal of yoor food. But mind, don*t truai too much to your vacation. If 1/ou donH get the cholera^ aomatking. elae may happen io prevent your pleaaure."
"You'll aee, faookfainder, tfaat I won't get disappointed. I am aa well now as I ever waa, and only tfaink, it ia but flve days before vacation eomea."
" Afa I my aon, wfaen you get as old as I am, you wiU see how foolish it is to truat to the future. I'U try and faave your father's booke ready. Call again on Friday at twelve o'oiook. in time to faave a littte talk with Andrew. He is only flfteen years old, and you would be good oompany for falm."
Marcus was soon off to aohool again. Every few faonrs fae went to look at tfae barometer, for fae wanted to know if fae wotUd faave good weatfaer. " When vacation comea," fae said to himself, " I wiU be as happy as a king and queen."
At last Friday came. The son was brigfat, and tfae barometer said, " good weather."— Marcus waa a diligent student, and passed a good examination. At noon he went around to Elm atreet to get hia father's books,
" I hope you faave time," said the old book¬ binder, " to talk a little with Andrew. He is BO lonely. All his old friends aeem to faave forgotten faim."
I am very sorry, faot I faave juat flniahed my examination, and this aftemoon I muat bid my soboolmates good-by, and get my new clotfaes from the tailor'a, and my new boots from the shoemaker's. Yon aee I haven't got tbe faolera, bat am aa well to-day as I oan be.— To-morrow I>m going down the Rhine to spend vacation with Unole Tfaomas. How happy ons feels when vacation cornea!"
" The booka are ready for you. Here tbey are; and a pretty good package tfaey make, too."
Marcus settled tfae hiU, and started down stair.^. But the books were very heavy, and he waa not oareful enough in going down the dark, ateepstairs. All atouce he fell, and rolled down to thenextfloor. Helay thereaenseless, and when the bookbinder, oame to piok him up, fae found a large cut on fala forehead.— The blood streamed down fais faoe and over his olothea. He was taken up-stairs and laid npon a littie cot In tfae same room wfaere sick Andrew was. The doctor waa sent for imme¬ diately, bat by tfae time fae oame, Marons was returning to faia aensea again. The wound was aevere, and the dootor said It would be at least a week before he oould be taken home again,
I might make my account of Marona and his great diaappointment a very long one, but lwill not do BO. The news of fais aocident was sent out tfaat day to fais father, and fae oame tbe same night to see him. The next day his motfaer, and Aunt Julia, and sister Flora oame by tfae stage, and wfaen tfaey saw faow great a anfferer Marcua waa, they all wept yery bitterly. Little Flora aaid, wfaen ahe came up and kisaed him; * 'I'm so sorry we cant go down lhe Rhine to viait Unole Thomas." Marcus wept as ahe spoke tfaese words, but fae answered: "Nevermind, dearsisler; itmay be all for tfae best. I will bear it as well as I oan. Here la poor Andrew, wfao faaa been aiok a year witfa the rhenmatiam. His father says he never complains, and I won't complain either."
" How good he must be," aaid Flora. " I wish we oould help faim."
" May fae we oan," replied Maroua. " Tfae doctor says if fae oould ba token to tfae mineial spring at Warmbrnn, he would be cured in two or three weeks' time. Yoo see we oan't visit Uncle Thomas; ao let ua give our money to poor Andrew, and fais fatfaer will take faim to be cured.
Andrew, and gtves falm as mnoh attention as if he was the Prinoe ot Proasts.   Good-by 1
' Year trae friend, the bookbinder's dangh¬ ter, " LrriLE Hahbah."
In due time Andrew got well and oamehome. Marcus was aUe to commence school again the next term. During that year his onole died, and when fais will was opened tfaeae worda were foond:—
" To my nephew, Blarooa Farman, I bequeath my oastls on tfae Rfalne, and all my lands and fiooks, aud fumiture and books. If it should ever be asked why I do this, let it be said Mar¬ cus was kind to the poor. May fae be patient, and never trost too mooh to the fatore. Idie witfa tfae fervent prayer that his aevere acoi¬ dent in the old bookbinder's hoose may teach faim alwaya to put his confidence In God, and never to forget to say, wfaen fae makea his plana, aa St. James did— * Iff THE Loan WILL, wa shall live, and do this
OH THAT.' "

BEEVITIES. Wise and Otherwise.
Wise anger is like fire from a filnt; tfaere ia great ado to get it, and when it does oome it is gone immediately.
The cap of patience is carved by angeUo faands, set round witfa diamonds from the mines of Eden, and filled at tfae stomal fount of goodneaa.
Life muat be regarded aa incomplete in ita higheat aenae, whioh is not controlled by the power of Christian principle. It may bs en¬ terprising, hold and fearless. It may be ex¬ alted by a stern porpoae faitbfally carried out. It may be graced witfa rare aocial gifts. and yet if it lacks the vitalizing element of Chriatian experienoe, it is more to be pitied tfaan scorned. Witfa all ita lofty stature, and ricfa foliage, it Iteara no fruit!
A man wfao marries a ricfa wife must expeot ocoasionally to faave it flung In his teetfa. We have faeard a report, faowever, wfaicfa we tfaink moat have ailenced sucfa thrusts. A gentle¬ man who had tfae misfortune to marry a for¬ tune was once exhibiting tbe fine points of his horse to a friend. " My horse," said the wife; " my money faongfat tfaat horse."—" Yes, mad¬ am," replied the husband, bowing, " and yonr money bought me."
Words are nice things, bat they atrike^hard. We wield them so easily that we are apt to forget their hidden power. Fitly spoken,tfaey fall like tfae sunshine, the dew, and the sum¬ mer rain—bnt when unfitly, like tbe frost, the haU, and tfae desolating tempeat.
A little girl went to oamp meeting, and when ahe got home abe said tfae aiaters in tfae variotis tents told her a good many things, and asked faer qneatlons about tfae bible. On being pressed to state wfaat tfaey told faer, sfae said one tfaing tfaey told her was about Peter, " who swore three timea before he crowed."
Sleep is called "death'a oonnterfeit," and tfais is a oase in wfaiohthe counterfeit is gen¬ erally preferred to tfae gennine.
Tfaere are great men enougfa to inoite ns to aim at true greatness, but not enongb tomake ns fanoy tfaat God oonld not exeoute fais pur¬ poses without them.
Hypocbisy.—Many wfao would not for tfae world utter a falsehood, are yet eternally scheming to prodnoe false impressions on the minda of otfaers respeoting faola, charactera and opinions.
The temptation ia not here where you are reading about or praying about it. Itia down in your afaop, among bales and boxea, ten penny naila and aand-paper.
A doctor'a wife attempted to move faim by faer tears. " ^ 1" saidhe," tears are uaeless. I have analyzed them. Tfaey contain a little pfaospfaate of lime, aome chlorate of sodium, and water."
A paper oan publish the appointments after the coming in of a new administration, but what paper in the world is large enough to publish half the disappointments ?
Refieotive minds cannot be wfaolly idle. Even In play, tfaey work on, in spite of them¬ selves. Seasons of intermission of ten give rise to tfae best tbonghts.
A gentleman faaving a faorse tfaat ran away and broke fais wife's neok, waa told by a neigfa¬ bor tfaat fae wisfaed to purchase it for hia wife to ride npon. " No," aaid the wretch, " I in¬ tend to marry again myself."
Some country editor geta off tfae following: " The Battle of Life.—Courtship is the engage¬ ment ; tfae proposal is tfae assanlt; and matri¬ mony the'victory." Then we conclude tbata treaty of peace ia made ou tfae appearance of tfae Envoy Extraordinary.

taken home. He Btill kept to his parpose of giving his money to poor Andrew, to get onred by the mineral water. His father and mother, and indeed everybody in the house, agreed to it. Tfae box was opened. There were thirty- dollars in it. Then Mr. Farman took the stage for Bingen, and oalled first of all to see the old bookbinder.   He said:—
" Yoa would not receive anything for your kindness to my aon. Here are thirty-six dollars in silver which, he and his sister Flora make a present to your son Andrew. They have been saving it for many months, bat as they are disappointed in their vacation-jour¬ ney, they have no ase for It. Accept it with my thanks for all your tronble."
The old man ooald hardly believe hia own eyes when he saw the bright silver dollars. The tears stole down his cheeks, and all he coald say was:
"Tbe Lord ba praised 1 The Lord be praisedl May the good Lord bless yoa and yoars in timeand eternity I"
The next week Andrew started for Warm¬ brnn. The great present that be reoelved did him much good, even before he left Binger.— It was not neoessary for his father to go with him, bat his little sister Hannah accompanied him. She was a very sweet girl, and was eleven years old. When they reached the place, the first thing sha did was to write a letter for Andrew baok to Marcus; and she oontinaed to write every few days. Each let¬ ter found Maroua a great deal better, and he would always say: " How happy I feel when I think that poor Andrew is getting better. I wish I had a thousand dollars for himl" must tell you a part of one of little Hannah's letters. She had never writteu ona before she went to Warmbrunn; so you must not laugh at it.   The address was:
" To tbat good young gentleman, Marcus Farman, who gave brother Andrew thirty-six dollars to oome here and get onred. The post¬ master at Bingen will please send it oat to him hj tbe firat stage."
Now that waa enough to make anybody smile.    But little Hannah didn't know any better.   The letter read thns :— '* Dbab, aoon, YOUKa Mb. Mabcus :
" The weather here in the mountains is quite oool. Andrew can walk about very easily with a oane. It Is the same one yoar father gave him when he haaded him the money. It rains here almost every day. At five o'oiook in themornlng all the siok people get oat of bed. Then they drink the mineral water- Andrew haa a great appetite, and oan eat nearly all the time. Bvery day the good Lord per¬ forms wonders. People who come here lean¬ ing on orutohei, soon get well enoagh to walk wlthoat them. I plait atraw every day for hats. In this way I oan pay my own board. So all the money goes to Andrew. I was afraid yoa might think that some of it had 1° pay my expensea. We both pray, every day for yoa and little Flora. When I aee ao many siok people, I often thiuk of this vene in the Bible:—'For we knov that if our earthly house of this tabemaole were dissolved, we have a baildlng of God, an house not xnado with bands, eternal In the h«aT«ni.*

A aailor who had served on board the Bom¬ ney, after returning home from India, findiDg that wigs were all the faahion, bespoke a red one, wbich he aported at Portsmouth, to the great sarprise of hia companions. On being asked the cause of the change of color in his hair, he said it was occasioned by his bathing in the Bed Sea.
The greatest oharm of books is perhaps that we see in them that other men have snfiered as we have. Some sonls we ever find who could have responded to all oar agony, be it wbat it may. This at least roba misery of it lonelinesa.
It is statei tbat a minister of Fitchburg lectured ao powerfully a few days ago against the use of tobaooo, that several of hia audience went home and barned their oigars—holding one end of them in their months.

Preaident Linooln is said to be a joker, and when he asked Horaoe Greely tbe other day for a oopy of his lecture, he achieved an ex¬ cellent thing, for none coald oopy it bat Gree¬ ley and his writing ia unintelligible to ordinary readers.

In illustration of the power of fancy, tbe oase of the old lady who watched tha vane to see wben her rheumatism was going to begin, is not equal to that of the store-keeper who painted the lower part of hia store red and saved seventy-five per oent, in the oousump¬ tion of wood thereby during the winter. Tbe Illusion was so complete tbat one man tried to make him pay for-'a pair of boots that be had burnt at the stove.
