Winter will not last forever ;
Spring will soon come forth agaiu. And with flowers of every color
Deck the hillside and the plain ; Lambs again In fields be sporting.
Birds ro<echo from each tree, *• Winter's gone! Us days are ended!
Wo are happy—we are free I" Hedge and tree again be budding.
Again with leaves be covered o'er, Winter will not la.st forever ;
Brighter days aro yet in store !
sorrow will not lasl forever;
Brighter times will come again, Joy our every grief succeeding,
.\s the sunshine after rain; AS tbe snow and Ice in winter
Melt at the approach of Spring, SO will all our cares and tiials
J oy aud peace aud comfort bring. When Ih^ heart is sad and drooping.
Think, though you be vexed aud sore, Sorrow cannot last forever
Brighter days are yet In .stoic;
A comFEssioir.

Mo.it men woulil Iiesilate al lelliug Bucli a atory of tliouiselvea. But I am convinceil llmt it will afforil a .sugges- tiou of mercy toward sueh as tlo fall, ami some may be turiit'il away from ttimptatiun by its rei'ital.
r Had been an undcv-clerk in a large establishment for many  yeais.   Katit rally ecoiiomieal, my suvings  bad at¬ tained lo ftueli a i-eEipeetuble sum that I veutured upon married  life, (|iiite as much as a refuge from  tlie munotoiiy of my inexpensive style of living, 41s in obedience to those yearning.t of na¬ ture whicii tnan is very foolish or very bad uot to heed iu due season.   lAko most meu, however, adventures of this kind are not fallowed by  tbe comfort and ease whicli depend upon   money for their possession.   Jn  the course of lime I came to repent the undertaking, for I was in debt,  my family had  iu¬ creased, while inj' incoQiehudnotkept pace   with   my   expenses.     My   wife lacked the courase lo practice the self- denial   whicb   would   be   consequent upou a retretichtueiit of our expenses. I was daily annoyed by dun.s.    I   had borrowed mouey   in   every   availnlile quarter, ami   a   walk   in   the  pubiie Hlreels was literally denied me hy the fearof encounterlngsomeonetowhom I ivas indebted for my house expenses. Returning home late one night, jaded by a listless stroll throngh the town, I found the junior member of ths lirm waiting for me.    The houso had re¬ ceived    intelligence,    after    business hours, of a transaction entered into on their account which required the im¬ mediate transmission to an isolated is¬ land town of several thousand dollars, together with certain papers the state¬ ments necessary to conclude the afiair. It was to tba delay and uncertainty of the mail at that time.   Upon a consul¬ tation of tbe members of the firm, I had been selected to perform the necea¬ aary two day's journey.   I accepted the mission with alacrity, for the laaaon, among others, that it would he such a recreation as would divert my thoughts for a time from the perplexities of my miserable condition.
With the usual foresight of the flrBi, everything necessary to my prompt de¬ parture had been prearranged. Tbe needful papers and accounts, and the indispensable money requisite to ftnlsll the transaction, were placed in ray hands In an envelope adclressed to the gentleman who had acted as agent of the concern in the matter. A letter of instructiou was likewise inclosed.
I remember well the bright Septem¬ ber mornibg on which I started horse¬ back and alone on my journey, of wkich I accomplish half the flrst day, arriving at a farm house, whose ocou¬ pant unhesitateingly granted my petl- tiou for a share for the night of its humble hospitality'.
The weather had grown colder as the evening came on, and by the time I had reached the house I experienced a sensible chill. I had with me a flask ot liquor, and was furnished at my re¬ queat at bedtime with a small quantity of hot water with which to compound a aort of punch, as an antidote io tbe cold I apprehended haviug takeu.
I had removed the package of money from my pocket and laid it on the ta¬ ble, with a view of putting it under my pillow before going to  bed.   As it lay on the table the address was upper¬ most; on the left hand  tipper corner was a memorandum, "85,000 inclosed." I was standing with my back lo the door.   Succeeding a few momenta of entire silence, I lieard a  step   behind me, and almost think a breath upon my face.   Turning suddenly round I beheld my host, with the hot water I had called for in a tumbler In his hand. He was quite beside me, and his eyes rested, or I fancied they rested, on  the package npon the table.   X must con¬ fess that I was sensibly started by this Incident.   My concern was not dimin¬ ished by observing that he had removed his boots frotn his feet, and was stand- Ingashe had come up—in his stockings. Hy flrst Impulse ami act was to take the water out of his hand.   Not being quite ready to uae it, I put the envel¬ ope «f money on the top of it, as the most convenient thing to keep it hot. X did not turn the superscription doan- ward, because I feared it would betray the suspicion which I now positively entertained, of evil intentions on the part of my entertainer, who had quit¬ ted the room as noislessly as he had entered.   I   imagined   a great many ways in which he could have become acquainted with the object of my jour¬ ney, and came rapidly, to the conclusion that my employers' funds were in dan- ger.   That they were   actually  so be¬ came evident  before  the night  had passed.   I recalled the man's counte¬ nance vividly to my recollection,  and examined from memory bis  features, BO as to make some estimate of the character with which I had to deal. Physically he was more than my equal. Whenlfirst alighted at the house it stmck me I had seen Lim betore, and after gome moment's of further  and profound reflection, I distinctly recal> led him to my mind as a. merchant who had dealt with our firm daring my earlier connection with It, and who had failed through the dishonestly of friends whom he bad  helped.   I le msmbered him as having beien apoken of ss being disgusted with trade, and having sought a home in the wilder¬ ness with his family, and earning a living literally by  the gweat of his brow.
There were but two bed-rooms in the bouse, both on the same floor, a pas- Mga .which commenced at the head of
patslnf thiDDgh my mind, I heard volcw inthe other bed room, and quiet¬ ly opened my door, which my host bad closed behind him. Standing out In tbe passage, I conid distinguish a man's and woman's voice. At flrst their langasge was auinteliigible, bnt gradually my ear became accustomed to the duty I endeavoretl to put it to, snd I could distinguish that the bur¬ den of their talk was their domestic expenses and tbe general current of their thoughts was the difiicalty of getting through witb certain undertak¬ ings which they had in contemplation, or had commenced. It was evidsnt that the man was more hopeful than the woman. My exsited Imagination at once framed the theory that the treasure in my possession was designed by them to solve this difllculty, and that the reluctant mau waa being urged on by the lesa scrupulous or brave wo¬ man.
A suddeu movement of one of them toward the door caused me to retreat intq my room. I beard the bolt of their door move, and supposed it was to uu-' fasten it, I Iiurried back to my own apartment and caught at the euvelope, intending to hasten it out of sight.   In my eagerness to grasp it. it fell tumbling with the wafered side uppermost and opened!     Tbe wafers liad been so far dissolved by the beat and moisture as to split in two, leaviugoue-half of eaoh (there were three) ou the flap, and the other half of each o'u llie budy of the euveloxie.     Mean wliile there was  no sign or souud of iuroad lulo my room, of which I had seeu it was impossible to fasten thedoor, save by uioviugsome of tbe furuilure against it.     I became convinced that .is yet everylhiug was safe, aud yielded lo a feeliug of curi¬ osity, I drew lho money from the in¬ closure and couuted  it over.     Thero were teu SI,000 bills ! I was astounded, aud I'ur a  lime forgot tbe fear that so recently harassed me.   I looked at the memorandum ou lbe back of the eu velojie.   It was  "So.OOO."   Tbe lelter waa opeu.before lue. I reail it over.  It named   8-3,000   as   llie  sum   iuclo.sed There was evideully au error. I couuted it over again.   Ten  tbousauil dullars was the sum before!   Agaiu and agaiu I counted it. I had beeu used to haud- liug large sums, and counted large suuis of money daily; but I actually found more ditlicully in arriving at tlieactual count of the ten bank bills before me, than I ever before or since encountered in any aum. however large or however uumerous the notes.   l''iiially, putting a chair against the door, I siiread the uotes out singly on the littlo table, iua row, aud couuted Uiem with my fiiigcr; then made two rows of five uotes each, aud again counted them.     I llually, though slowly, became satislled that I bad in my possession double the amount of money I was expected deliver lo my employers' agent.   Temptation entered my soul.   Five Ihousaud dollars would relieve mo of all my debta.   Hera it was within my graap. I had but to seal up the envelope by rewetting the wafer. Inclosing half the mouey, and deliver it sealed to the agent, and my trust, would be, to all appearance, faithfully discharged. Once the thought occurred that possibly it was a trap set for me by my employers. But their confidence In me was*unbounded,and the suspicion waa dismissed.   I do not attempt to glaze over the dishonesty of what I contemplated; but I had been unceas¬ ingly worried and annoyed by domestic troubles arrlsiug from limited resources, and so persecuted by creditors, that I almost argued myself into the convic¬ tion that appropriating the money was simply authorized self-defense. I would pay ali my debts, get clear of the world once more, insist upon my wife's adopt¬ ing my views of living, save money, get into business for myaelf, and finally pay back the sum.
I concluded to leave the envelope un¬ fastened until morning, so as to give myself that much more time before finally deciding upou an act which all my arguments with myself had not made entirely reconcilable. Arrived at tbis  couc.Iusiou, my  attention agaiu turued to my host and his wife.     I could hear his voics aloue now. It had been sounding long In a somewhat ele¬ vated tone forsome momen ts.   I crept quietly to the partition dividing tbeir apartments from  the  passage.     The bright autumu moou, which was on their side of the house, shone through their windows aud through the spaces betweeu the shrunken  plauks of the partition aud out into tbe passage, and upon its floors, in brilliaut bars of light. It was easy  for me lo see what was passing wilhin the room.   Man and wife were kneeling at llieir bedside iu prayer—the mau, with uplifted head and closed eyes,  utieriug an earnest supplicaiion, his   wife beside him, and one arm passed ail'ectionately through oneof his, aud her head reatiug agaiust his shoulder.     Tbey were kueeliug ut the side of the beil opposite tu me, aud his face was plainly visible.    Its calm aud pioua expression was a sufficient rebuke to my unjust suiipiciotis.   I be¬ gan lo listen In time lo hear him say. '•Pardon, O merciful Father, not ouly the sins of Thy humble aervant and Ills household, but luru tbe liearts of those who liave done evil  uulo him, who have harbored unjust suspicions of him. Bless such, O Lord, and preserve them in order that tliey may turn from thair ways and seek the paths of rightoous- ne.'i.i)."
His serious, earuest and manly voice struck a chord iu my heart, not only lusympathy with thehonestand teuder supplication that was passing from  his lips, but of oontritiou for the wrong I bad done him In my suspicians.   I In¬ voluntarily compared him, whatever were hia good or bad deeds, at least an humble penitent before his God, with the wretch that I had decided but a fetv moments ago to make myself, by the misappropriation   of   my   employers' money ; and still haunted, however, by tbe relief it could obtaiu for me, would not quite give way to the feelings of repentance whieh were knocking for admission at my breast. I had half de- aided to turn away and drive these thoughts from my mind, when I ob¬ served somelhing moving iu a small crib that was placed at the side and to¬ ward tho foot of their bed.     Its occu¬ pant, a grandchild, whose parents they had informed me, were dead, awakened probably by  itn grandfather's  voice, rose  up, looked   around   and   settieti down upon ita knee3,2and clasping Its little bands as its grandfather's were alasped,   and   looking   upward   out through the window at the moon, whose bright light fell upon its darling face, bagan moving its lips aa if trying to repeat the words.   !N'othing so Ijke an angel ever met my sight.   The grand¬ father began the Lord's Prayer.   The little fellow seemed to bave this by heart.   He repeated it word for word, bis tiny, silver voice sounding in sweet accord.   I could not turn away, nor any longer resist the better emotions which I had hitherto kept down.   A nish   of   repentant   feelings passed through me with an effect that shook
joined in the concluding words of the prayer.
I need not say I changed my mind with regard to the money. I passed a qniet night and rose early and hastened away towar* my journey's end, so as to give myself tbe least possible time or opportunity for changing my new- forined' resolution. In' handing the package to the figent, I said to htm, that as there wa|fmoney iu it, it might oa well be opened In^iriy presence, to see that it was all correct, &c. He, of course, discovered the error, and hand¬ ed me back the amount that was over with which I returned home and de¬ livered it up to the proper owners in due time.
It was fortunate fur me in every way that I pursued the course.! liad adopt¬ ed. It appeared that the money had been obtained from .the bank after bauk hours, in the absence of the tel¬ ler, from one of the officera. There iva.'< no loose money on band of the larger denominations, but there were sheets of thousands and flve hundreds signed by the President and Cashier. £itber two sheets were picked up in mistake for one, or the wrong batch of sheets were selected from, tbat Is, tlionsands were taken Instead of five huudreds. The notes were hur¬ riedly clipped, strapped, aud indorsed "0,000," without recounting, aud so enveloped, handed over to me. The bank had discovered the error, and uo doubt was entertained but that the missing money was with me. Wheth¬ er I should have hail the fuce to with¬ stand the implualion, eveu with the apparently undisturbed condition oftlie envelope iu my favor, ia more tban I con saj', but 1 doubt it.
But tlie notes, in pursuance of a pre¬ caution still lu use In some banks, were payable to the order of oue ofthe clerks, and had not been endorsed by him. I could not, iherefore, have used them, or if so, tliey could have been traced back to me. I found, alao, that tbe numbera had been carefully ascertained of all I had taked with me, and thus another chance of detection existed. What an escape,'
Upon returuiug and entering the counting-room I handed the surplus back to my senior, with feeling some¬ what of pride, bnt mixed up with other feelings uot easily described.
My precaution of having the money opetied by tbe ageut iu my presence was highly commended, and the possi¬ bility of ills misappropriating the un¬ due amonnt—as very little personal knowledge uf him was poasessed bythe firm—was duly discussed. What was said on this]>oint brought blushes to uiy cheeks.
Ju course of ti.i e my senior occount- aut was takeu lulo the firm. I was put iu bis position, and with his salary, I saved money, finally got into business ou my owu accouut, and nm now, as you kuow, rich. I never forgot my farmer host and his grandchild ; but at the death of tbe former, I took charge of lbe boy. He is now my partner and husband of my daughter.
Thkee Ci.ases of Dbu.vkards .—At the second meeting of the " American Association   for the Cure of   Inebri¬ ates," Dr. Joseph Parrish delivered an essay—the result of long-experience in the care of iuebriates.   He divides tbe latter into three cla.ses ; the flrst, con¬ firmed inebriates, or   professional  de¬ bauchees, whose purposes iu life seem to be limited to tfae gratification of ap¬ petites or passions; tlie second is the emotional clas.9, who are described as persons "without decided Intention to do wrong, and  without any abiding purpose  to  do  riglit,  and   who  are victims   of   their own   moral. weak¬ ness,    or    of   their    own    cupidity or   recklessness    of   others ; "     and the   third  are   accidental   inebriates, "men of good principles and character, who-know and acknowledge their in¬ firmity and endeavor to overcome it. •Students, aulliors, salesman and over¬ worked busiuess men furnish a consid¬ erable per centage of this class."   Tba majority of the firss-class, according to Dr. Parrisli, areincurable, aud herecom- mends that such persons be detained in special ospitals.   Of this class Dr. Par¬ rish iias eighty-four under his   care, twenty-four  of   whom   improved   so as to be capable of partially attend¬ ing to busiuess; seven  were radical¬ ly cured, and two became iusaue.   Of the second  class tho  doctor has had aa patieut3seventy-two,of whom torty- two of tbem were so improved as to atleud mostof the time to their aflairs and tweuty one were cured of their Jn- flruiitj'.   He has liad in charge of the third   class   sixty-six   persons,   forty- seven of whom were entirely cured, aud sixteen of whom nearly so.
Labor by the Hour.-The subject of hiring farm labor by the hour is at¬ tracting atlention as the best method of settling the  number of houia that constitute a day's work;  Jt makes pro¬ vision for paylug men for the time tbey are actually engaged, and nothing for rainy  days   and   the   lime  they   ure standing still.   A correspo.ndent of the Biiral New Yorhvr haa tried  it,  and says: I find it pays. I keep threomen— usually one by the month.   ThemenI (hire by tbe day usually have families to support.   Wheu I pass them by the day, without any understanding as to its length, they arrived lale or early, as was couvenlent for them.   Now tliat I pay by the hour they generally want lo work as mauy hours as I ueed them ; but if they do not, they know that they get paid only for the work they do; and if they do not regard my wishes some¬ what, laboring until the work is accom¬ plished, they feel very certain that I shall hire someone wbo will stick by me; and I fiud men are mors willing to accomplish all the work regardless of tlie number of hours, if they are sure of being paid proportionately, as they are by the hour system.   I think we shall adopt the same rule in reference to house¬ hold help.    It requires a little time to .break In and and make laborers under¬ stand it; but wiien they do, lhey like It better, and so do I.
Ileal foresight consists in reserving our own forces. If we labor wilh anx¬ iety about the future, we destroy that strength which will enable us tu meet the future. If we take more iu hand nuw thau we can do well, we break up, and tbe world is broken up with us.
The great mau is he wlio chooses the right with invincible resolutiou; who resists the secret temptation from with¬ out and within, wlio bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully wbo is calmest in storms and most fearless under mena¬ ces and frowns; and whose reliance on truth, on virtue, on God, is most un¬ faltering.
Silence is in truth the attribute of God, and those who seek him from that side invariably learn that meditation is not the dream, but the reality of life; not its illusion, but its trutb; not Its weakness, but its aterength.

FOR THE LITIIE FOLKS.
"SO.METHING." " I wiil be aomething," declared the eldest of flve brothers; "I will be of use in the world, be it ever so liumble a position that I may hold, let me be but useful, and that will be aomethlng. I will make bricks; foik cannot do without them, so I shall, at least, do something."
" So.metbing very little, though,"re¬ plied the second brother. "Why, it ig aa good as nothing! it is work that might be done by a machine. Better be a mason, us I intend to be. Then one belongs to a guild, becomes a citi¬ zeu, and has a banner of one's own. Xay, if ail things go well, I may be¬ come a master, aud have apprentices and workmen uuder me. Tliat will be aomething!"
"Jt will be .nothing at all, then, I can tell youi" rejoined the third.— " Think how many different ranks there are lu a tuwu far above that of a master-musou. You may be uu hon¬ est sort of a raan, but you will never be a'gentlemaii; gentle and simple, those are tbo two grand divisions, and you will alwaya be one of the 'simple.' Well, I know better than tbat. I will be an architect; I will be one of the thinkers, the artists; I will raise my¬ aelf to the aristocracy of intellect. I may have to begin from the very low¬ est grade; I may begin as a carpenter's boy, and run about with a paper cap on ray iiead, lo fetch ale for the workmen; I may not enjoy it, but I shall try to Immagine it is only a masquerade. ' To¬ morrow,' I shall say, ' I shall go my own way, and otliers shall not oome near me.' "I'es, I shall go to the Acad¬ emy, learn to draw, and be called an architect. That will be something! I may get a title, jierhaps; und I shall build and build, as others have doue before me. Yes, that will be some¬ thing!"
"But, it is something that I care noth¬ ing about," said the fourth. "I should not care to go on, on, in the beaten track, to be a mere copyist. I will be a geni¬ us, cleverer than all of you put together; I will create a new style, provide ideas for buildings suited to the climate, and materials of our country, suited to our national character, and the require¬ ments of the age."
" But, rupposlng the climate and the materials don't agree?" suggested the flfth,"how will you geton then,if they wou't co-operate ? Aa for our national character, to be fullowing out that in architecture will be sheer afiectation, and tlie requirements of modern civili> zation will drive you perfectly mad. I aee you will none of you ever be any¬ thing, thougii of course you won't be¬ lieve me. Eut, do as you please, I shall notbe like you. I shall reason over what you execute; there is something ridiculous in everything; I shall find it out, show you your faults—"That will be something !"
And he  kept  his word; and folks said of  this fifth brother, " There is something in him, certainly ;   he has plenty   of brains,   but he does noth¬ ing."   But he  waa   content, he  was something.   BuC whut became of the flve brothers? We will hear the whole. The eldest brother, the brickmaker, fuund that every brick he turued out whole yielded him a tiny copper coin —only   copjier—but a great many of these  smull   coins,   added    together, could be converted into a bright silver dollar, and through the power of this, wheresoever he knocked, whether at the  bakers,  butchers, or   tailors, the door flew open, and he received what he wauted.   Buch   was the virtue of his bricks; some, of course, got broken before lhey were fiuished, but u use was fouud even for these.   For up  by the trench would poor Juother Marga¬ ret fain build herself a iittie iiouse, if ahe might; she look all the broken bricks, aye, aud abe got a few whole oues besides, for a good heart had the eldest brother, though uuly u brick- maker. The poor thing built her liouse with her own hands; it was very nar¬ row, ita oue window wus all dn  one side, the door was luu low, and the thatch ou the roof might  have been laid ou better, but it gave her sheller and a home, aud couid be seen far over the sea, which somelimes burst over the trench In its might,   and sprink¬ led a salt shower over the little liouae, wblch kept its place there years after he who had made the bricks was dead and gone.
As fur the second brother, he learned to build after another fashion, as lie had resolved.   When he was out of his apprenticeship,    he   buckled  ou   his knapsack, and started, singing as he went, on his travels.   He came home again, and became a master in his native town; he built, house after house, a whole  street of houses;   there   they stood, looked well, and were u credit to the town;   and these houses soon built bim a  little house for himself. How 7   Ask the houses, and they will give you no answer; but the people wiil answer you and say,  "Wby, of course, tbe street built him bis bouse." it was small euough, and iiad only a ciay floor, but when be and his bride d*nc- , ed over it, tbe floorgrew as smooth as if it had been polished, and from every stone in the wail sprung a flower, that looked as gay as ths costliest tapestry. It was a pretty house and a happy- wedded pair.   The banner of the Ma¬ son's Guild waved outside, and work¬ men und apprentices shouted, " Hur¬ rah!"   Yes, that was something I  and at last he died—that, too, was some¬ thing! [   ITezt comes tha architect, the third
brother. He began aa\a (Wpenter's apprentice, and ran about th«^wn on errands, wearing a paper cai^';;-l)at he studied Industriously at the academy, and rose steadily upward.';.'- If the street full of booses had ballt i house for his brotber.tbe mason, the street took its name from tha architect; ^^h^. hand¬ somest house in tbe whole street was hiB—tbat was something, and he was something! His children were geutle¬ men, and could boast of their birth ;" and wheu he died, bis widow was a widow of coudlli>n — that is some¬ thing—and hisnamestood on the corn¬ er of the street, and was on everybo¬ dy's lips—that is somelhing, too!
Now for the genius, the fourth brother, who wanted to invent some¬ lhing new, something original. Some¬ how, tbe ground gave way beneath big feet; he fell and broke bis neck.— But be bad a splendid funeral, with music and banners, and flowery para¬ graphs in the newspapers; and three eulogiums were pronounced over bim, each longer tban the last, and this would bave pleased bim mightily, for beloved speechifying of all things.— A monument was erected over his grave, only one story high—but that is something!
Bo now he was dead, as well as his three eider brother»; the youngest, the critic outlived tbem all, and that was as it should be, for thus h& Bad the last word, which to bim was a matter of the greatest importance. " He had plenty of brains," folks said. Now his hour bad struck, he died, am' Iiissou I sought thn gates of heaven. ""There it stoou side by side with another soul—old mother Margaret from the   trenches.
" It is for tbe sake of contrast, I sup¬ pose, that I and this miserable sotri should wait here together," thought the critic.
" Well now, who are you, my good woman ? " he Inquired.
And the old woman replied with as much respect as though St. Peter him¬ self were addressing lier, in fact, "she took him for St. Peter, he gave liim¬ self sucb grand airs,—"I am a puor old soul, I have no famiiy, I am oniy old Margaret from the house near the trenches."
" Well and what have you done down below?"
" I have done as good as nothing in the world! nothing whalever! It will beme'rcy, indeed if such as I, um suf¬ fered to pass through Ibis gale."
And how did you leave the world ? " inquired the critic, carelessly. He must talk about somelhlbg; it wearied him to stand there waiting.
Well I can hardly tell how I left it; I have been sickly enough during tbese last few years, and could not wel 1 bear to creep out of bed at all during the cold weather.   It has   been   a  severe winter, but now that is all past.   For a few days, a< your highness must know, the wind was quite still, but it was bit¬ terly cold; the ice layover the water as far as oue could see.   All the people in the town were out on the ice; there was dancing, and music, and feasting, and sledge-racing, I fancy; I could hear something of it all as I lay in my poor little chamber.   And when it was get¬ ting toward eveniug, tiie moon waa up but was not yet very brigbt; I looked from my bed through the wiudow, and I saw how there rose up over the sea a strange white cloud; I lay and watched It, watched the black dot In It, wbich grew bigger and bigger,   und tiien I knew what it foreboded;  that sigu is not ofteu seen, but I am uld and ex¬ perienced.   I knew it, and I shivered with horror!   Twice before in my life bave I seen that sign, and I knew thai there would be a lerrlble storm and a spring flood ; it would burst over the I poor thinga ou the ice, who were drink¬ ing, and dancing, and merry-making. Youugand old, the whole town was out on the ico; who was to warn tliem, if no oue saw it, or no one knew what I knew.   I felt ao terrified, I felt  all alive, as I hao not lelt for years !   I got out of bed, forced the window open; I could see the folk running and dancing over the ice; I could aee the gay-colored flags,   I could  hear  the   boys  shout "Hurra," and the girls and   lads  a singing.   All were so merry, and all the time tbe white oloud with its black speck rose higher and higher, I scream¬ ed as loud as I could, but no one beard me, I was too far off.   Soon would the storm break loose, tlie ice would break in pieces, and all that crowd would drown.   Hear me thej' could uot, get out to them I could not; what was  to be done?   Then our Lord sent me a a good thought; I could set flre to my bed; better let my house be burnt to th'e ground, than that eo many should miserably perish.   So I kindled a light, I saw the red flame muunt up; I got out at the door, but then I fell down; but Hay there, Icouldnofgetupagain ; the flames hurst out of the window and over the roof, they saw it down below, and they all run as fast as they could to help me; the poor old crone they be¬ lieved would be burnt,  there was not one who did not come tn help me.   T heard them come, and I lieard too, such arustlingin theair.and thenathunder- Ug as of heavy cannon-shots, for the spring-flood was loosing the ice, and it all|broke'3p. But the folk were all come ofTit to the trenches, where the sparks were flying about me; I had them all safe.   Bnt I oould not bear tho cold and the fright, and that is how I have come np here. Can the gates of Heaven be opened to such a poor old creature as I ?   I have no hous* now  at  the trenches; where can I go, if they refuse uie here?"
Then the gates opened, and tbe Augel bade poor Margaret enter, as ahe passed the threshold, she dropped a blade of straw—straw from her bed which she had set a light too, to save the people ou the ice, and Io! It had changed into gold I dazzling gold! yet flexible withal, and twisting into various forms.— " Look, that was what yonder poor woman brought," said tho Angel."— But what dost thou bring? Truly, I know well that thou hast done nothing, not even made bricks. It Is a pity thou can'st not go back again to fetch at least one brick—not thut it ia good for anything when it is made, no, but be¬ cause anything, the very least, done with a good will, ia Something. But thou may'st not go back, and I can do nothing for Ibee."
Then poor Margaret pleaded for him thus: "His brother gave me all the bricks and broken bits wherewith I built my poor little bouse—thst was a great kindness toward a poor old snul like me! May not all those bits and fragments put together, be recorded as one brick for bim ? Itwill be an act of mercy; be needs It, and this is the home of mercy."
" To thy brother, whom thou did'st despise," aaid the Angel, "to him whose calling, in respect of worldly honor, was tbe lowest, shalt thou owe tbls night of heavenly coin. Thou Shalt not be sent away; thou shalt have leave to stand here without, and think over thy manner of life down below. But witbin thoa can'st not ai|ter, nntil tbpa. bast done something that is good—Something 1"
" I fancy I could have expressed that better," thought tbe critic, but be did not say it aloud, and tbat was already Sometbing. :
THE BEAVIT-OF HOUE.
TASTE VERSUS TI^iSEL,
I18GAL   NOTICBS.
The lavish expenditure required by modern habits and tas.tes places the beauty of a home in furniture and hangings, costly pictures and a thous¬ and and one articles of luxury whoae value is almost entirely estimated by the cost. Tf the carpets are ofa certain texture and value. If tbe ciirtain cost so much per wiudow, and the whole house and its appurtenances represent so much currency, "social status" is satisfied to enter and give it the sanc¬ tion of its scented presence. The aris¬ tocracy of money is regnant over taste, and snobdom is quite satisfied that it should be so.
Yet beauty, exquisite beautj', is at easy command, almost at our doois, and does uot require the "opeu sesame" of a prethoric bank account to enter and take up its abode witii us. It is a free oiTering not to be paid for iu dol¬ lars and cents; but even beauty must be utilized to become a permanent pos¬ session. Take a home, humble and small, so (hat the roof does not leak or the chimney smoke, and the occupants are cheerful and content. Let it have one brigbtoutlook wbere the sun can enter, and a few feet of ground where beautiful plants oan be cultivated. And the windows, too, can have their own special gardens in pots, in hanging baskets, in boxea, in,pverything which can hold a little earth. Woodbines can be trained—and honeysuckles- over cbeap trellis work; roses can al¬ waj's find room, and evergreens aud ferns and other plants and vines which aflect indoors. On porch, in vestibule, in parior and in windows we have seen tbese beautiful children of the auii clinging aud blossoming in the richest luxuriance. A few well-chosen bookri, thenatural accompanieut of plants and flowers, a little furuiture, not tuo fine for daily use, a piano, if the inmates are musical—us tbey are most likely to DO with sucb surroundings—and, to our miud, tliere is more thorough refine¬ ment in such a home than iu the lan¬ guid atmospbero of a bedizened pal¬ ace.
We are confident that the occupants of auch a homo are in full accord with nature and the benefits ofthe creation. They pasa understandingiy throngh its works, gleaning that arch of verdure from some rural nook, tiiu^o rcrn,i r.<<,ni some brookside, whieh tbey stimulate bya vase of water near which they grow. They have studied tho soil where'tlie fuehias Ihriveso luxuriant¬ ly, and have calculated the amount of shade required fortholiverworlsin the corner. Altogether, the homo ia a bright oue, snggcstiveol happiness and pleasant and instructive conversation. There is nothiug slale and vavid about It. The chapter of daily life is read from nature's great book, and has noue of the commonplaces of fashionable and "aocialalatus" gossip.
Why should wc not have more of these refining and genteel homes? Our ample suburbs, north and west, invite our pent-up residents to these semi- rural retreats. Why is so much of lifo confined within tlie lim its of brick and mortar, and gazing only ujion cobble¬ stones? Why tbis constant struggle for fino clotiies and finer furniture and rich feasts and Itigber seats in the syn¬ agogue, than our neighbors? Don't imagine, kind reader, that we are preaching up humility, and delivering a counter blast against wealth. We have lived too long In this world for that. We would as soon go about the streets singing pastorals as undertake lo depreciate the power of greenbacks, and bonds, and railroads, and all sorts of corporations and monopolies devised for tlie purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer, and which, for a consideration, our legislators are ao anxloua to protect and increase.
We only wish to say that people, with reasonably well-regulated minds, can have bright and pleaaant homea at very expense, and without the interiainable and vulgar wear and tear of "social status" requirements. If i;ffs. A. in¬ atead of spending ber husband's spare cash on trashy imitations of Mrs. B's brocatelle curtains, would purchase a few ferns and window plants, with white muslin drapery, her prete 'ioua and stufFy little parlor would be more inviting and a great deal raore refining to her aud her children. Plants cost ao little In comparison with other things, and lhey educate the eye aud ripen the lasle. Madame McFlimsey would have never laid down that vile carpet of yel¬ low, red and blue if she had been prop¬ erly educated in the school of lilies, ferns and helitropes.
We Iiave aaid our says about econo¬ mical beauty and sensiblo home lite. The orange of nature is to-day in our heartl, though there have been times, pereliance, when we were as much captivated as others with the glitter and (lusel of tho world.
