We Iiave received the followiog noble, fer¬ vid and patriotio Ijric for publication from its aatbor, Eev. Jobn Pierpont. It proves tbat tbe anwearied fire of geniua still glows, un dimmed hy age, in tbe sonl of au bonored American poet, whose first production waa publisbed balf a oentnrj ago. Mr. Pierpont IB 7G years old, and bis poem baa tbe " spirit of '7t>. As regarda mere age, bowever, time practices on ns a deception in regard to b.im; for bia form seems to grow more ereot, bis gait more vigorons, bia mind more vivid and cre¬ ative, as be advances in years. Tbe soul of yontb breathes and borns is bis verse and animates lus frame. Indeed, be promises in body to survive even the literary reputation of many of bis yonnger contemporaries; and tbe hyperbole of good feeling, " may be live a thonsand years," is not so extravagant a wish, in respect to bim aa it is to others.—Borfon Transcript.

Again I hear that creakiug slep I
Be's rapping at the door 1 Too well 1 know lhat boding Boiuid
Tbat uBbers In a bore. I do not tremble when I meet
The Btontest of my foes, Bnt Heaven defend me from the friend
Wbo comee—bat never goes I
He drops Into my easy chair.
And afikB abont the news; Ee peers into my maauscripts,
AodgWesbis candid Tiews; Ee tells me where he likes the line,
Aud where he's forced to grieve; Ee takes the straagest libertiea—
Eut never takes bis leave.
He reads my dally paper throagh,
Before I've seen aword; He EoauB the lyric fthat I wrote)
And thinka it quite absurd; He calmly smokes my last cigar,
And coolly aaks for more; He opens everything he sees—
Except the entry door I
Ee talks about hU fragile health.
And tellB me of the paina He suffers from a score of Ills
Ofvrhlch he ne'r complain?; And bow he struggled once with Death
To keep the fiend at bay ; On themes like thepe away he goea—
Bnt never goes away.
He tells me of the carpiog words
Some shallow critic wrote. And every precioos paragraph
Familiarly can qnote. HetblnkB tbe writer did me wrong;
Be'd like to mn hlm through ! He says a thoaaaud plea-ant thioga—
But never aays'Mdfcit/"
Whene'er he comea—lhat dreadfnl man—
Dlegulse il as I may, I know that, like an antumn rain,
He'll last tbroaghoat the day; In raiu I speak of urgent tailu;
In vain I scowl and pout; A frown Is no extlogolther—
It does oot pat him out I
I mean to take the knocker off;
Pnt critpe opon tbe door; Or hint to Jobn that I am gone
To Etay a month or more. I de not tremble when I meet
The Btootesl of my foes ; But Hearen defend me from a friend
Who never, nerer goes I
GBACE AND I.
We were (jetting on the downhill of life, and beginning to be—a little Badly—consoionB of the fact. Are people ever thoroughly re¬ conciled to growing old, I wonder? Or do they feel, at best, only a kind of forced resig- Bation? In my yonng days I sapposed, as a matter of coarse, that the spirit and the body matared and decUned together, and that the middle-aged and elderly people aroand me had minds peifectly attuned to their time of life; they looked forty, fifty, and sixty, and felt jast so. I had not heard then of the poor old lady who, beholding in the glass her wrinkled face, exclaimed, " It's none o' me 1 It's none o* me I" And if I had, eboald have regarded her as a very weak sort of individa¬ al. I have learned to sympathize with her in I later yeara. 1
Grace and I had not gone quite so far; wrinkles and gray hairs were not very evi¬ dent with us as yet, thongh they might be soon. An aunt, who had recently visited at oar house, informed us that we were now " in tbe vigor of middle life," and we had felt con¬ siderably insulted by the statement, and ask¬ ed each other, in a private " indignation meet¬ ing" on the subject, in what remote comer of second childhood the good lady put herself.— "Middle life" indeed I Why it seemed no more than yeaterday that ~we were children, and qnite too young to "go with the big girls." The remark set na thinking, however, and we found we were farther along than we had im¬ agined ; not so old, to be sure, as Socrates when he learned to dance, or even aa Cowper when he began to write poetry, but no longer very youthful. Not to make any foolish mys¬ tery about it, I was twenty-nine, and Grace just two years lesa experienced. ^
Heretofore we had felt oarselves young as any body; had thought and spokea of our¬ selves as "girls" without the least suspicion that the term could be considered misapplied. Bat, as I said, Aunt Mercy's remark set as thinking, and I realized that next year I shonid be thirty I An unmarried female ol thirty I I shivered as I remembered the vernacular for euch a person. Not that there was any dia- graoe in being an "old maid;" I had long looked calmly forward to the probability of suoh a destiny. But to Hnd that I had aotu¬ aUy got there—and withont knowing jt 1
After this for several daya I kept a keen lookout for signs of age and feilure.
" How hard my hands are growingl" I add, one moming. "Doyou think, Grace, that it can be because 1 am so thin lately ?"
"Very likely," she answered. " Ton oonld not reasonably expect good healthy bone to be soft. Console yourself, thongh, Jen, for mine ue in the same state. At our age we can't hope to retain the tender palm of youth."

: There vaa diie peraon who still considered ni aa 111 tiie"dew of our yonth"—it was mother. Thongh we tiad gradnaUy superseded her in every department of honsehold labor, she regarded ns aa novices, liable to blnnder at every step; and needing" a world of dlreo¬ tlons about the aimjpiest matter. Personal snpervision She had zenonnoed ; bat from her rocking-chair by the fireside, where she sew¬ ed, or knitted, or read the long day through, issued frequent commands and admonitions. " Tims to pnt on the potatoes, Grace—and be Burei that they are'washed, darn." "Don't forget the emptinswhen ybn mix np those bisonit." "And did you beat the eggs, Janet, befoie yon put them in the cake J I ought to stand over ypu every thing you do, yon're snch heedless ohildren 1" Grace and I laughed snd agreed with each other that it waa pleas¬ ant to seem young to somebody.
Mother was a widow, and we were poor. By that I don't mean wretchedly poor, but that we lived with great plainness, and were jnst able by so doing to make both ends meet.— Father's bealth had failed, and he was not able to do mnoh for some years before he died. He had made ont to keep the plaoe for us nn- inaumbered, bnt that was all. There were fifty acres aud a tolerably-sized house, two or three cows, a pig, and so ou. Yoa would think we could have got along nicely, bat somehow we didn't; perhaps we did not manage well, but I'm sure we were never extravagant. A neighbor took onr land on shares, but he want¬ ed so much allowance made, for his team .iiud. the seed he furnished that it ont terribly into' our profits. Then we must keep up the fences and pay for every improvement; and if he only tumed his hand over to accommodate us it was put in the bill. Then we mnst board a boy to do " the ohores," and our fuel mast be ont, and drawn, and split; Grace and I could not go oat in the woods and fell timber, however muoh we might desiie to. Bvery body seemed to think, too, that we were so wonderfully well off, and charged us full price and a little over for what they did for ns. We fonnd that it took nearly all our ready money to pay necessary expenses.
We managed in every way that we conid thinkof. Sold onr ashes and boaght calico; saved all the hen-feathers and bits of rag and bonght tin^therewith; used the smallest qnantity of batter, milk, and eggs, and sold the rest: one winter we even did entirely without apples, and sold the whole produce of onr orchard. All this helped, of course, but it did not make matters straight. Then the house needed paint, and the roof leaked, and a hundred little mattera oalled for repair; while within, though we were carefal as could be, the wood.work grew shabby aud the wall¬ paper smoky and faded.
" We have tried what saving money will do," I said; "now we must set at work and make some."
But how f was the question. There was very little demand for plain sewing, and peo¬ ple who made it their business complained that they haii not half enongh to do. Grace might have been made Female Principal at the Academy—she knew twice aa much as a good many that did fill that position ; bnt she was bom and bred In Arlington, and a pro¬ phet, you know, never has honor in his own oonntry. People would not havo thought that Grace Maltby, whom they had known from her cradle, and who had never been at boarding-school in her life, could possibly teach their cbildren " the higher branches." But there was the oommon sohool, and she got one in our neighborhood; they paid twenty shillings a week and board, or four dollars and let her board herself. She choose the latter, of conrse, and walked the three miles aday very contentedly, looking to her golden gains. The money was paid at the end of the season, and it certainly came In as a great convenience; but, dear me 1 it did not do half that it seemed we must have done. The place, somehow, swallowed up all that we could get outside of It.
We thought of buying a nnmber of cows and trying a large dairy, since butter and obeese were then selling at a high price ; bnt mother would not bear a word of it. There was no oapital for the outlay, and she had a mortal horror of debt. As for raising the money by a mortgage on onr place, she would as soon have engaged to snfier fiom cancer for a term of years. We were a good deal disappointed, bnl perhapa it wasbest after all: we shonid have been obliged to pay eo much for Iudis¬ pensibie as'slstanoe that onr profits might have been lost In our expenses.
It was abont this time we began to realize, and, as I said, sadly realize, that we were get¬ ting oldish, and had Uved onr best days. Before this I had always been hopeful, thongh withont any particular reason for being so > and thonght that somehow it would all oome right in the end. Now I discerned the tme state of mattera—that we had passed cur prime, and that, pecuniarily, things must grow worse with us from year to year. Mother never wonld Incur expense nnless she' had tbe means of meeting it at once; the land would yield us less and less retnm as it be- ame poorer from want of oare; we must .live closer and cloaer, our property depreciating all the time, and end np—^how ? The pros¬ pect was not a cheerful one; we had practiced a pinching economy for a long time, and It was hard to think no Improvement was possi¬ ble ; that all the change mnst be the other way,
I did not mind It so mnoh for myself.    I should have liked as well as anybody to have a light, pretty paper in our sitting-room; to take a Magazine, and have plenty of books; to uae Java or Mocha coffee instead of Eio, and white sugar Inatead of brown.   I liked to see napkins on the table, aud preferred silver forks to steel.    But it was not for my own sake half as mnoh as Grace's that I minded these things.   You msy think it strange that I do not speak of mother's oomfort;  bnt If yon bad known her, you would have under¬ stood it all.   She had a supreme contempt for dainties; I believe she would have lived the year round on " Johnny-cake" and milk, and liked the fare.   As for dress, her simplicity was Spartan.' She took the old gowns which we had wom to the last verge of endurance and made them over for herself; three breadths or four fora oalioo dress-it was all the same to her. Several good snits of olothes she Indeed pos¬ sessed, but these she obstinately refused to wear except on Btate occasions—ThankBgiving dinners, or a visit to some neighbor.   Yet suoh Is tbe foroe of native comllness, that ahe was aa nice-looking an old lady as yoa will often see, spite of her scant attire..  1 don't know what ample means could bave  done for mother siuce, like the Apostle, she " had all things and abounded " as it waa.   Onr fnmitaio ahe considered as more than good enoagh; oar mode of life aa comprising not only oomfort but Inxury; and for the three.breiadth cali¬ coes, she never made them over withont some remark on our evtravagance in throwing a*ay snoh serviceable garments.
At eighteen Grace was the prettiest girl, it eeems to me, that my eyes ever encountered; and she hadnotlost mnoh at the time of which t write. Such a sweet suiiie, snoh a clew bloom, snoh delioate and graceful features 'small hands and feet, and a tjuoat as white as swan's-down. I had alwaya faneied that she 'Wonld'inarrj well; some stranger—for boob* in the place waa good enough for her.. Some tall, dark, handsome man, who wonld cai^ her away andglve-lier'all.the' luxuries and lady-like belongiogitfaatwen so salted to her.

' ~'8BeWa^i'«^'^IBireiit'Mm me.-IWU'a' pretty: good; sehtdai in imy^day; bnt, Graoe went far ahead of me In eveiything, and she was-,always.learning something, eyen.now..— For my part, when work was done, I oonld fliid'thlngB to do that pleased me better than plodidlng over German', or vexing my soiii With'trigotiometry. I liked to .read pretty novels and poistry or the newspapersj hit she delighted In Shelly and Keats and snoh w:riters, whom it would kill me to read a page of, and went into soientiSo works and history and inetapbyslcs. I admired it all very mnoh In her, though I could never have ^one it myself. 'Then ihe had siich a pretty taste in dress, and always looked nice, thongh her elothes cost almoet nothing. She loved flow¬ ers snd had a perfeot passion for books and pictures. It was no wonder that I was always hoping the fntnre wbuld arrange itaelf so that slie wohldhave meana to' indulge her tastes, and lead altogether a more reHoed and conge¬ nial life than had yet been possible to her.
You may think that being so pretty and in¬ telligent she would have plenty of elegible of¬ fers. Well, there were not many yonng men left In onr place ; most of them had gone to seek their fortune iii the Weat, or in distant cities; and Grace was very qniet and nsserv- ed. Two or three opportimities of marriage she had and had refused, thongh one of the suitors. Lawyer Graves, was very well-to-do and a rising man. Mother was rather dlsap- pciinted that Grace did not listen tb liim moie kindly; and prophesied, aa elderly people are apt to do on auch oocaaions, that she would go thiough the woods and piok up a crooked stick at last. But even this fearfnl prospect did not move her to reconsider the decision.
"Why wonldn't you have him, ohild?" I said, one day when we were alone. "He is tolerably good-looking, tolerably gentlemanly, and would have made you very comfortable." " I shall not marry any one: on those grounds," she answered.
" They may be very good grounds for all that. I wonder what you demand in a hus¬ band."
" In the first plaoe, said ahe," " I demand that I shall love him so much that I shonld'be miserable without him."
'' Why, Qiaoe, I had no idea you were so sentimental."
"I intend.to be always sentimental enongh for that," sbe maintained. " Don't be impa¬ tient Jenny; I am not. Wait' for the hour and the man ?;''
"But suppose they never come?" I asked, a little ruefully.
' Why, then, I" make no donbt that we Bhall get along very comfortably without them," she answered, laughing. And with this I was obliged to be content.
It was In the spring of the year—early aprlng—the last of March. The oattle lowed their welcome to the Eeaaon, and jubilant crows Bounded from the barn yard where the fowls paiaded. Patches of snow yet lingeied in the fields and by the roadside, bnt In onr door" yard tbere was a visible greenness springing up among the brown debrie of last year's grass; bluebirds and robins Bang now aud then their prophecies of sammer; the air waa mild . and the brook, freed from ita Icy slumbers, made Itself heard all day in soft delioions murmurs. I don't know if auoh weather af¬ fects other people as it does me; I feel—not exactly discontented—but such a longing after something. It aeems as If freedom, change, travel—seeing new scenes and new faces- would be BO delightful. However, there was no use in thinking of that. The most excit¬ ing event we bad to look forward to waa house-cleaning—and that brought up afresh our lack of means. Grace and I went to the bam to hunt for eggs, peered Into eveiy cor¬ ner of the mangers, climbed all aorts of steep places at the risk of our necks, bnt found nothing. So we eat down on a bay mow and fell into conversation about our affairs.
"We really ought to paint and paper the house thia apring," said I. "Yes—if we could."
" -And the sitting-room carpet is too shabby for anything. I'll never bny a cbeap article of that aort again; there's not a bit of econo¬ my in it."
* "Well, you know it was a choice between that or nothing. We had not the money for a good one. It looked .much better than a bare floor."
" I suppose It did. Then the wall must be mended If we oau ever get the mason to spare us an hour-^and oh, that loof, It leaks so badly?"
" It can't be helped, Janet; we haven't tbe mouey to repair it. You know Mr. Brown said it would be qnite an expensive job, if done thoroughly."
"But when shall we bave any more ? I,m tired of hoping for better crops or better prices ; they never come. And the outside of the house Is getting so bad; it looks more like a brown building than a white one. It ought to be painted, if only as a matter of economy. The longer we wait the more it will take to do it."
" Yes, If we oould," said Grace, again. " The fact is," I continued, "that we want two hnndred dollars this very minute to do what really needs to be done—^not what we would like, bnt what we want, to be respecta¬ ble. Two handred dollars, and we haven't two hnndred oents I And there's no way of getting them that I can see, now or ever. The amount of It is, Grace, that I shall go dis¬ tracted 1"
" Don't," said she, byway of cheering me np. "That wonld only be making fresh ex¬ pense."
" Oh no. They have a ward in the poor¬ house for lunatics of a harmless sort, and I don't think 1 shall be violent." " But mother and I would mias yon so." "Yonmaycousole yourself with thoughts of following soon. You can regard me as *not lost, but gone before."
Grace smiled. " It is rather wicked for ns to talk so, even in jest," ehe said. '* Things haven't come to quite that paas with us yet. Bnt I do wish we could think of something to brighten up the scene a little." And forthwith we reaolved ourselves moat vigoronsly into a committee of ways and means, bnt with very small reault.
"_Graoe," said I, "anppose yau take to au- thoiahlp. I dale say you oould do as well as a great many of them."
" Thank you," she replied; "bnt I fear I haven't the competent and critical knowledge of cookery and mantua-making necessary to success In that line."
" You mightn't do books, bnt you could be a • Maude Meeke,' or something of that sort in the Bensation papers."
" I haven't sufficient' intellect,' Jenny. You know the heroes and heroines of those stories are always of tbe loftiest stamp. Yonremem¬ ber what our little consin used to say, 'Brag is a good dog, but Do is a better.' I am afraid that when I liad proclaimed my hero, for Instance, as posaeaaing a mind of the higheat orde.r, and then had to famish him out bf my own brain with thoughts and remarks In nniaon with his exalted genius, the contrast between *Brag' and ' Do' would be rather overpowering.— Can't do It, my dear; haven't the first requi¬ site." A clever thonght stmck me. "Grace," said I, "let us prevail on mother to sell the faiml 'i "Sell the farml" cried she In amazement; "what are yon thinking of? Mother would no more do it than—" She paused for wantof a -strong enongh compars'o'n. "Bnt listen," I contiued, earnestly. *'Nearly all the money we raise from It goes baok on the land again-Iil the shape of seed, labor, and 'Improvementa' geuerally. Now if we sold the jplace we shonid bave-r-" 'And 1 paused-to: -do a sum in mental arithmetic. So many aores at snoh a snm per acre. "Dear mel" lezclat- med,''%ow IttUe it is, attei all."
"And think of parting with our home^-the placb we were bom in and where we harb al. wi^Hved? Why,Jenny,yondonHkiioirwhiit

' I felt all this too; but the substantial bene¬ fits to be-reallisdattraoted ma.

There wss no manner of donbt that I shonid do well. "Of oomsewe shallhave to keep bnsy," I " said; bnt that we are nsed to, and shall not mind. It will givens a great deal more to spend; and what is better, we shall know what we have. It won't go for things that make no return.
Onoe started, we went on as rapidly as the girl with the milk-pail. New carpets and ohairs, and varions other desirable acquisi¬ tions, shone npon as from the future. By- and-by, perhaps, if we did well, we might try some larger village; keep a boardlnjg-school on a limited soale, Grace doing the head-work and I the hand. Our projects were woiiderfnl, and we saw ourselves " laying np for old age," besides enjoying a great many comforts aa we went along.
There was one terrible hindrance to the fulfilment of ons desires—the getting mother to consent. Whenever we came tb consider that branch of the snbject we were bronght np standing. It was like proposing a consti- tational monarchy to ail absoliite sovereign, or Informing a venerable president that the in¬ terests of the college require hiih to resign. It wonld be better for her as well as ns could she only be bronght to see it; but who shoald braach the matter?—who argue and convince her ? We talked it over many a time, and got onr courage almost to the point,'as timid people wilh the toothache ponder tha only remedy tbat oan avail them,andwishBO much they could, yet never quite accomplish it.— Like them we deferred the dreaded moment.
One day mother had gone t<t take tes with a neighbor. Grace and I, as we tnmed and trimmed, and generally revamped those " best drbsaes " that we might have been known by any time during the last eight years, discussed otir project for the thousandth time. A noise in the yard presently attracted my attention, and, looking out, I exclaimed, " Why, here's Dr. Ohnsted 1"
Dr. Olmsted was onr Dr. Kittredge. Not that he owned two or three fine horses—his only steed was a very Bqnare.bullt sorrel pony, with a stumpy little tail tbat was no sort of defense against the flies; and Io sum¬ mer-time be used to go by decorated with so many green bongiis tbat he migbt have passed for Bimam wood on Its way to Dnnsinane.— Nor did our worthy Doctor dive into psycho¬ logical canses and effects, as did that kindly philosopher. He was a member. In " good and regalar standing," of the Baptist Church; and If he did not consider immersion as exact¬ ly needful to salvation, regarded it ss the only " door," and thought that people who did not go iu thereat had got into the fold in a very unauthorized manner. I call him our Dr. Kittredge, because he was the oracle for all that seotion of the coantry in everything per¬ taining to medicine. His devotees were aa absolate, if not quite as numerous, as those of Buddah or Brahma. If people died any wbere about it was their own fault. In that " they didn't have Olmsted;'' aud supposing him to have been infinitely divisible, so that every clime and country could have had him, there was no good reaaon why the present generation sbonld not endure forever. To be sure, once in a gieat while patients did die under his care ; but that was because their time had come, when of conrse no skill could save them.
For the rest, he was the kindest, best-heart¬ ed man living, aud a great favorite with Grace and me, who had known him all our lives, HiB wife, now some four or five yeara dead, had been our dearest friend; one of those women on whose steadfast regaid, chary of profession bnt prompt In deed, yoa ooutd im¬ plicitly rely. Tbe Doctor was now perhaps fifty-one. or two, bnt very well preBerved. As he dismounted from his sulky, which appear¬ ed to be a " caat," only done in mnd Instead of plaster, there was no one We could have been better pleased to see.
Good aftemoon, yonng woman," he said, gianoing in at us. "I hear your mother haa Bome oats to sell.    Can I look at them ?"
" Certainly, Doctor. You will flnd them in the carriage house." He went his way, aud piesently retnmed, bidding ns tell mother that he '.' would take the lot." Then disem¬ barrassing himself of a very rongh and shab¬ by overcoat, he announced his intention of spending half an hour with ns. " Can't yon stay to tea. Doctor ?" said Grace. " Have you anything very nioe to tempt me ?" he inqnired.
" Nothing more than warm biscuit and ma¬ ple symp.   Have yott had any- sugar yet ?"
"Not an ounce have I seen; the season bas been very-unfavorable. Well, If you'll give me an early tea I will stay for it," And we talked a while of neighborhood matters.
"Have I any thing of a purse-proud lookl" he asked, after a time. "For I have reoeived a heavy fee to-day."
"A oonsultation?" said I, for we know he was often sent for from a distance.
"No; a oase delunatico inquirendoj a father taking out a commission to manage the afijairs of his son, who is insane. I gave my testimo¬ ny and was about to leave, wben the man's lawyer reminded him that I must bave my fee. He teudered me this coin, inquiring if It would satisfy me; and I informed him that it wonld, perfeotly." So saying, he displayed— a dime!
"And he actually had the face to offer you thatl"! exclaimed.
"My dear, he waa jmrfectly honest about it; he no doubt considered that it was an ample remuneration for my time and trouble."
"It takes all sorts of people to makea world." I remarked, with truth if not origi¬ nality.
"And a docter gets acquainted with most of the varieties, Speakiog of oonaultations, I had a oase last week that waa a little too much for flesh aud blood. A man over beyond the Guernsey had bnrt his leg very badly"—(if yonimagine, oh reader, that the Doctor said "limb" in oompliment to ladies' society yon are very mnch mistaken)-"and they sent for me. I went as soon ss I could, and found quile an array of the brethern ; tbree—four —physicians, they called themselves. We looked at each other, as wisely, ss wisely as we knew how, and then retired Into a room by ourselves to consult. The youngest, as In dnty bound, gave his opinion flrat—to save tbe life the limb must be amputated; the nest one followed suit—I could hardly believe my ears' and so on till they came to me. !Gentlemen,' said I, politely,'I shall be glad to have yoa tell me whieh ol his legs yon propose to am¬ putate?' Pack of ignoramnsesl disgrace to the piofetsioni The man vill be aionnd agidn in amonth; and they wonld have sent him hobbling about on corkfor the rest of his daysl'< And the Doctor's pleasant face glowed with indignation.
"Very fortunate for him," said my sister, "that he had snoh an aooompUsed sorgeoo to ioteifere in his behalf."

He thought tbe ooUdn a'veiy good one,' ahd vol¬ unteered tb say as much to mother, if vre liked. This took such a load from our minds, and the whole thing seemed mnohlnore feasi. ble when a business-man like Dr. Olmsted liad approved it.
"I'U mention it day after to-morrow, when I come for the oats," he said, at parting. "Ah, girls I how cbmfpHable yon make a mau.

"Whidhofns would take you, yon mean 1" I answered, laughing.
" Nbusesse 1 you would either of yon jnmp at the ohance'of siioh a handsome'yoang has¬ band," he said, as he drove away.'
I shut the door and we talked about him; how merry and kind he was, and how like a father to ns I We speculated a little—not much—on the coming physiciau; whether he were really as " nice " as Dr. Olmsted boasted; whether we shonid consider bim worth know¬ ing or not.
"For that matter," obaerved my sister, "we shall not probably be caltei;on to decide. Suoh an Adonis will hardly trouble himself to make tbe acquaintance of 'single:ladiea of a certain age.'
Now if ever a speeoh sonnded abaurd it vas this of Grace's, whea yon looked at her fkir, sweet face and girlish figure. I Jold her so ; and then ve talked of-what lay a- great deal nearer our hearta than'any doctor, yonng or old. Our plans seemed almost realised nov that ve had: ventured to confide them to a third party, and ve awaited, with mingled hope and anxiety, the Doctor's decisive visit. He came as was agreed, and gently and skillfully worked the: conversation-round.to the desired point. Hownervooslywelistened to him I and :made errands, out -of the room eveiy now and then to eicape the first bnrst of mother's surprise and wrath. . For amazed and horrified she tmly was. WhatI wehad grown too genteel to live on a farm, hay?- 'Wanted to move Into .the viilage and set np for ladies 1 SeU the farm, indeedi and leave herself without a home 1 The tiling was too pieposteious to be thought of for a moment. The Dootor waited for her indignation to set, before he. proposed to. lay-before her allthe propoaed advantages. She fought every inch of the ground; but men have always a way, somehow, of domineering us about every thing of a business nature— putting ua right down as ignorant or inoapable where we differ.from them. Tbe Dootor so clearly proved to mother her utter imfitness to take charge of the farm—so set before her that she was the lawfal prey and spoil of any one who had to deal withber—that in the end she premised to think about the matter. So we cousideied the viotory as almost gained, and at once, In iinagination, selected onr house, engaged our boarders, and were In the full tide of snccesafai operations,
But a sudden period was put to all our plana—Grace fell siok. Whether she had taken cold in houae-oleaning, or got her feet wet In some of our long spring walks, we oonld not teU; but one day she complained of fever and a headache, and was soon prostrate with a severe and dangerous Illness.
Oh how little, how worthleaa every ambition we had felt looked to me as I sat by her bed¬ side In tbose long nights, watohing her uneasy Blnmbers, and oppressed by the dread that she never would recover I Nothing was of any conseqaence except to see her well again; or If that could not be, to reat assured that she had passed into a happier state. We had a long lime of suspense, for when the first vio¬ lence of the disease was over the Dootor dread¬ ed a decline, and for weeks we watched and waited; but at last there came a day when he had nothing but good news for us, and thence¬ forth she recovered rapidly. How happy we were 1 and what a miracle of skill we thonght the doctor I
"While Grace waa at the worst our frieud trusted her case to uo oue but himself. As she grew better he occasaionally Bent up his partner, or " parduer," as he was more oom¬ monly denominated. Nothing but an angel diieot from heaven could possibly have looked sweeter than she did in her convalBcence, and I could not wonder that his visits were contin¬ ued long after they oeaaed to be stiictly necessary.
"' Single females of a oertain age,'" I re¬ marked to Grace one day, "do not Beem to frighten Dr. Morris as much as you appre¬ hended."
Bhe blushed a very gnilty crimson. "I have DO doubt," she said, "that he thinks us a couple of very nice old maids."
"Us I" Idid nnt consider such barefaced hypocrisy worthy of a single comment.
It is a good thing that people In real life are not obliged to liuger along, and have quarrels, and be miserable, as they are in novels, in order to " make out the story." Grace'a tme love contradicted the proverb aud ran entirely smooth. Summer pasaed and autnmn waned, aud in the drear days of Deceinber ve had a quiet wedding. It realized my every ambition for this darUng sister. Dr. Morris was aU that onr old friend had claimed for him: hand¬ some, gentlemanly, with mind and cnltivation that more than satisfied her best ideal. Not wanting, either, In worldly prosperity, and, best of all, fitted to aid her progress in that path which, siuce her iUness, she had moat earnestly deaired to tread.
In the course of the winter mother sold her farm, and we removed to the yUlsge; but we do not rely upon boarders for subslstenoe. It was very lonely withont Grace, and Dr. Olm¬ sted used to come in frequently to oheer ns. 'Whether It is trae, as he says, that he " had thoughts of me for a long time," or that now, when only one was left he fonnd it easier to make np his mind aa to which of us he reaUy wanted, I oan not say. But he managed to persuade me that thirty and fifty-two are not such very different ages, and tiiat looking on a man as a father fbr a good portion of your life is the best poBsIble preparation for legaidlng him as a hnsband dniing the remainder of it. Mother divides her'time between the twb housea, and Is alternately " ridden over" by the youngsters of eaoh, vho coneeive that grandma has ^0 business in life but to make herself useful aod agreeable to them. As for juy owu— But, as I live, there Is the Doctor's sulky, audi must-put away, my writing and hnrry Ann about the-dinoer, for he will be so hungry after his ride.

"Always gay" is a soldier's life. A volun¬ teer's recent letter says:' "My wife oame onto see me at our oamp. Thank Heaveu I she bronght needles and thread vith her.

Ub. Behioi had left hla native viUage to take chaige of a amaU farm ia the neighboihoodj qf a Jarge oity.
Uother," said he to his vife one'evening, as became in from a veailaome-valk after some stray oovs, "I must hire, a boy to do thesa"ohorsa;' what do you say. to Peter Sannderai"
"Feter SanndersI" ejaculated the good woman, -" why, what made yaa thiiik ot Atm ! Ooe of that mfseiable &mUy vonld not an¬ swer your pnrpose at aU.!*
" It is simply because the boy Is miserable tbatlvishto take him. I beUeve that he has some nataral ablUty, and if left: to grov up athome he wUl bea oursa to society. If our- OhUdren ven stiU young and at home It would beadangerona experiment because of evU example, but as they have already gone out into the world for themselves, I beUeve tbat it ia our dufy to try Peter Saunders."
- Mrs. Benton waa , silent. She wished to examine the subjeot In aU its healings, but in this case her hnsband vas sure of faer final deoision; BO taking up his bright tin mUk- pails he tradged offto the barn and left her to her reflections.
"So dirty I" soUloqnised Mis. Benton vith some disgust, (for she was a patteru of neat¬ ness,^ "so Ulmannered; what oan the good man be thinking of to take such a child?" Ah; Mrs: B, you have a dnty loperform in this oaae, and jnst as soon as yoa view it in that Ught yon vUl hesitate 00 longer, eveo thongh the sacrifioe shoald oost yonr Ufe.
¦' Father,"" said Mrs: Benton as they sat down to their comfortable eyeidhg meal," I havo been thinking over what ytm said abont poor Utile Peter Saunders, and I believe you are right. Suppose yon go forhim early next week."
It was no hard matter to obtain the consent of the idle, dissolute, parents, and Peter re¬ turned with Mr. Behton. Toward evening the tired horse, with apparent satisfaction, stopped before the door,; and Peter bonnded out like.a young bear just loosed -from a cage. Mra. Benton met him al the door. " Well, my boy, how are you ? Tired aud hungry, I snppoae.   Come along with me."
She showed the way onto her tidy kitchen, where a snbstantial aupper awaited him, vhich waa speedily devotired.
"Now, Peter," said she, "IwiU show you to your room."
The chamber waa smaU but very neat. Upon a chair by the bedside lay a obange of Unen, pnre and white, and a suit of farm- clothea, whole and oomfortable.
"Look here,Peter," and Mra. B. opened the door of a large unfinished closet, "yoa see that tub of warm water, soap, and coarse lowelB ? I wanl yoa to go in there, wash your¬ self Ihoronghly' then put on the clothes, and oome down atairs that I may see bow you look."
When Feter made his appearance he had undergone a complete transformation. He entered the chamber lookiug mnch like a Hottentot; he oame onl a white, rosy, fali- haiied boy.
Mrs. Benton expreaaed her satisfaction wilh the change.
" Only one thing more, Peter. I must oat and comb yoor hair, andafter that you mnst use this nioe new brush three limes a day before you oome to the lable."
When Mr. Benton look down the Bible for family worship, Pet'erstared. II was evident¬ ly a new phase in his life. After prayers, Mr. Benton oaUed him to his side.
" Can yon leU me, my cluld,  who made you?" "Nol"
" Did yon ever hear of God f" The child altered a dreadful oath.   It was evident that It was tbe only way In which he heard the sacred name. When Peter had reti¬ red for the nighl,'Ur. Benton, said,
"There, mother, is a little heathen for you, brought up in Christian Nev Bngland, within Bouud of the churoh bell."
"I see it, father, and I am afraid poor little Peter is not the ooly instance of the kind. We have much to do for him, and we'll en¬ deavor to be faithfnl to our trasl."
The neglected child found a good home. Mr. and Mre. Benton labored assiduonsly to leach him to read and work, and to awaken his blunted moral sense. After months of ear¬ neat effort It was diacouraglog to allot him a reasonable taak, go away for a time, and re¬ luming, find it only half doue. Feter was an eye servant, for he had not been early laught the text. "Thou, God, seeat me." Sometlmea his friends vere ready to despair, bul they thought of the iong-suffering kindness of their heavenly Friend, and look courage. They did uot labor In vain. In the autumn, Mr. Benton had a severe illness. Hia afihira Boemed dark Indeed, for the work vas pressing, and he never had supposed that Peter oould be trust¬ ed with the eUghtest matter without super¬ vision. He found he had been mistaken. Pe¬ ter was not imgratefnl: he vaa only ignorant. He took hold of the work vith atrong hands and a wiling mind : and Mr. Benton, on his recovery, was aatonlahed to flnd how Uttle his bnainess had suffered during his Illnesa.
''If we remain upon the farm auother year." aald Mr. B.," Peter wUl be invalnable to ns." Butthey did not. Eeveraes came. They were obliged to remove, and a great addition to their trouble was the faot that they could no longer keep Peter.
He left lhem, and the worthy couple lost sight of him for a few yean. They did not forget him, as years passed by; aod ofteo, io tbe Btill hour of vorahip, In their humble abode, petitions arose that he might be guid¬ ed in the right way, and preserved from evil.
A few Sabbaths since, as Mr. and Urs. Ben¬ ton were entering the vestibule of the church, they sav a handsome yonng man in neat uni¬ form awaiting their approach. At first they did not reconize tbeir protege of years gone by. Very respectfully he accosted them, and they were oveijoyed to see the improve¬ ment of their yonng friend. He had valked nearly thirty miles In the dnst aud heat of the previous day to find bis aged friends, and thank them for sll their kindness. He accom- canied them home, and they spoke to him serionsly and affectionately in relation lo his interest for :time and for eternity. The youn^ man drew from hlB pocket a oopy oj the Bible, the gift of his pastor. "I wish to make this my guide and refuge both in the camp and upon the battle-field. Uy kind friends, you flrst induced me to think of these things. AU lhat I am I ove to the blessing of God upon your labors in my behalf. WIU yoa not pray for me lhat I may not yield to temptation as I go forth, to take np arms in defense of oar beloy.ed.cotmtry.
So saying, vHh^floshed oheeks and tearful eyes, the -.youthful soldier, departed, and In another veek he was at his post at Washing- tbn ready for his ooimtiy's service.
"Blessings on the boy t" exclaimed good old Ur. Benton, "if beholds to his resolntion biUlets cannot hann hini. They may open a shorterpassage tothe world of glory, but it vUl be a blessed exchange—^his earthly lau¬ rels for a heavenly diadem."
