THE LITTLE BOY THAT DIED.
I am all alone in my chamber now.
And the midnight tonrie near, And the fsggot'a crack, aud the clock's dull tick.
Are tho ouly sounda I hear; And over my eonl in its aotUude.
Sweet feelinga of sadneas glide; Formy heart and my eyes ore full wfaen I think
Of the Uttle boy that died.
I went one olght to my father's houee,
Went boma lo the dear ooes oil % And aoftly i opened tfaa garden Rate,
Aud foJtly the door of Ibe faall. My motfaer came ont to ropet faer son.
She kisaed me aod then she slffbed; Aod her faead fellon my neck oud she wept
For lbe Utile boy that died.
I sfaoll mlFa falm wfaen the flowers come
In th" gard<-n where fae played: I Fb 11 mifs him more by tho flrealde.
When tbe flowois ore oil decayed; I Shalt aee his toys and his empty cfaair.
And the faorae fae used to ride. And tfaey will speak wlifa a silent apeecfa.
Of the Ilttle boy that diod.
"We ahall bo home lo onr Father's honae—
To our Father's houfe in the skies. Where tba hopa of aoula afaall faavo uo blight,
Onr love no broken ties: We aboil roam on the hanks t,f tfae river of peace.
And bathe In Ks bliaEful tide; And one of the Joys of life afaall be
Tfae tittle boy that died.

'Tenty"scean'.
[concluded.]
So Ked sailed for Valparaiso, and 'Tenty stayed al home, Anut 'Viny got no hetter in all those winter-snows and hlow3: they are not favorable to rheumatism, these New-Eog- landairs; so 'Tenty had enoogh to do; hut she ¦washappyand contented. And winter crept hy and merged into spring, and spring into au¬ tumu before Deerfield heard any news of Ned Parker; thoogh, in the mean time, one re¬ port after another aa to his heing engaged to various girls, at length settling wilh marked weight ou Uannah-Ann Hall, spread over the village and was the theme of Sunday-noon gossipsandsewvng-sociely meetings, greatly to 'Tenty's contempt and amusemeut,—thongh the contempt was too bitter and the amuse¬ ment too tremulons to be pleasant. For did not Bhe know better? i'eople don't kiss peo¬ ple when they don't like tLem : a self-eviJent proposition, bttt oue that required some asser¬ tion and repitition to weigh its right weight in her mind.
Poor little 'Teuty ! In that cold ^*ovember there came al«tter to Doctor Parker juat as he was getting out of his gig after a round of visits. The postmaster, going home todinner handed it to Uim, aud, goiug back from din¬ ner, was called in lo lift him up-stairs to his bed. Ked Parker had been wrecked off the Hom, the crew took to their boats, and only one boat, with one surviving man to teU the tale, was picked up by a whaler coming back to New Bedford from the Pacifio; all the rest were gone. Doctor Parker was old and feeble; this only child was all he had; paralysis I smote bis body when bia smitten mind bowed ¦ before that dire knowledge, and he never look¬ ed up again. Content would have given any¬ thing to go and nujse him ; bnt she, too, was Bttmned, and in the whirl of that great grief even Aunt 'Viny's demands were no more to her than a dull mechanic loutine that she could hardly force her trembling steps to carry through. So she stayed at hom«, sewing all day and crying all night, and looking gener¬ ally miserable, tbongb ghe said nothing ; for whom could she speak to ? Aunt 'Viny had resolutely kept her suspicions about Ned Parker to herself, though well she knew who had walked home from meeting with 'Tenty in those pleasant autumn Sundays now gone, pleasure and all. But Misa. 'Viny believed in silence on such matters, and held her peace; now it was too late to break it. Nor was 'Tenty disposed to tell her anytbing I for it | occured for the first time to her innocent soul \ that she had nothing to tell. So they both . went on their way, witb secret pity and still endurance.
After a brief illness of three days, poor old Doctor Parker's  weary soul and hody gav^ out; he died on Thnrsday afternoon, and, in ' country fashion, it was proposed to bury bim on the following   Sunday, from the church. Sunday came, cold and raw and blustering. 'Tenty took her usual seat in the gallery, but took it early that she might see the " monm¬ ers" come in and fill tbe front pews kept for tbem.    She wiped the tears from her eyes, and looked on with a feeling of half envy^ thinking of the son to whom no funeral hon¬ ore would ever now be paid, slumbering in the cruel seas that break and roar about the HoriL   She counted tbe bearers, all known faces ; she watcbed P.irson Goodyear into the pulpit; she saw Mrs. Parker on her brother's arm.    But there was one other veiled figure, shrouded also in blnck, wbose presence she could no way accouut for;  aud when Parson Goodyear made bis fiist long prayer, and sent up an earnest petition for tbe doubly bereav¬ ed woman before bim, what did he meau by adding,—" And thine other handmaid, in  the bloom of her years bereaved of hope and promise,—her whom Thou hast afilicted from afai off, and made a widow before Tbee?" "What did it mean ?    'Tenty's breath lluttered,: and ahe turned cold. .Inst at that moment, one of her neighbors murmered under her bon¬ net,—"That'a Hannah-Ann, next to Miss Par¬ ker ; only think how sly she's kep' it a hull yearl   And she engaged to Ed'ard all that time (   1 wouldn't never ha' believed it ef she hadn't had the letters to sbow   for't an' a gold watch he gin ber; an'Miss Parker says she's knowed it all the time."
Little moro did 'Tenty know of psalm or aermon; some whirling sonnds passed her, and then a rash of people. She was last to leave the church; and wben she got home, aud went to make Miss Viny's tea as she tilted the long well sweep down and up to draw her pjul of water, she looked earnestly down tbe depths of the crystal, as" if to see what lay I below, then quietly opened her left hand j above it;—sometbing bright fell, dashed the olear drops, from a fern tbat grew half way i down, tinkled against a projecting stone, made a little,splash, and was gone. 'Tenty took up her pail and went into the shed; and Ned Parker's locket lies at the bottom of the well, for all I know, to this day. Thenceforth 'Tenty cried no more; thongh for many weeks she was grave, wretched, pining.
"Winter set in with fnrious storms and heavy snows* but strange to say, Auut 'Viny grew better; she oould sit up; at length conld move about; and at last, one night wben she Bat by the fire knitting, saddenly looked up at 'Tenty and said,—
"Yon haven't seen Misa Parker lately, have you, Content?"
Tenly shivered a liltle. "No, I have not, Aunt *Viny." "WeU, it appeara as thongh yoa should go and Bee her; she's a weakly woman, bnt she oan Bet her back up dreadful againat the Lord's doings, and I don't know but what snch Mnd ofpeople need comfortin' more'n others. Jt*B a world fnll o' galea, this is, and every¬ body hasn't leamt the grass's leason, to bend when the wind blows." "The IfOrd sends the wind, Annt 'Vlny,»> <*The Lord sends eVerytHing, only folM
don't allow It; they'd rather lay it to the door ofman, ao*8 to feel free to worry. But the worst thing He ever does send to people Is their own way, 'Tenty; and you'll know it before yoa die*"
'Tenty tamed away to her work, hardly oonvinced by Misa 'Viny's wiadom, and In-^ wardly thinking sbe should like to try her own way for all that. However, 'Tenty suff¬ ered far lesa than she might have done, for indignation helped her; the feeling that Ned Parker had deliberately amused himaelf with her. while ahe waa in mortal earnest, had low¬ ered him not a little from his height. Then Aunt 'Viny'a care diverted her sad thoaghts from heraelf, by sending her upon daily er¬ rands to the poor and the siok, so that 'Tenty's pleasant faoe and voioe beoame the hope of the hour to more tban one poverty-striken or dying woman; and bo her own grief, meas¬ ured by theiis, ahrank and withdrew itaelf day by day, and became aomething ahe oould now and then forget. And more than all, her naturally sweet temperament and healtliy or¬ ganization helped her to recover.
Myriads have died of a hroken heart, no doabt, but it was physiologically broken; grief torments into sleeplessness, aleepleasness destroys the appetite, then strength goes, the circulation fails, and any latent evil larking in the constitation springs on the helpless and willing victim and completes ita work. This is a shookingly nnromantio and material view to take of the matter, and brings to nought poems by the hnndred and novels by the thousand; bnt ia it not, after all, moro true to God and hnman nature to believe ih thig view than to think He made men or women to be the sport of passion and circumstance, even lo their destruotion ?
'Tenty Scran' was too healthy to break her heart,—and too unselfish; so ahe gradually recovered her bright bloom, and went to her work, and took care of Aunt 'Viny, as ener¬ getically and gaily as ever. Hannah-Ann Hall married a lawyer from Meriden, and moved away, quite consoled withoat Ned within three years but 'Tenty favored no lovers, though oue or two appoached her. Tbere are some women who are like the aloe,—then- life admits of but one passion. It comes late and lasta long, bnt uever ia repeated; the bloom dies out of its resplendence and ordor, but no second flower¬ ing replaces it. She waa one of theae. Bat what one mau lost in her love, a thousand of her fellow-creatures gained. 'Tenty was the Deerfield blessing, though she never knew it herself. All the sick wanted her; all the j children palled at her gown, and . smiled at I her from their plays; her heart and her hands were ao full, no regret found place to nestle there, and ailenoe brooded dove-like over that sorrowlul time gone by.
After a while, some ten years after Ned Parker's deatb, Misa 'Viny took to her bed again,—this time never to rise. Slow con¬ sumption had fastened on her, and ahe knew well wbat was before her, for ao had her mother died ; but no saint was ever more patient than she. 'Tenty was the best of nurses, and had even learned to speak of her aunt's dealh without a tremor in her voice, the last triumph of her unselfishness; for Mi-ss 'Viny could bear no agitation, and yet needed to speak of the event she neither dreaded nor deaired.
'"Tenty," said ahe, one day, " I feel a sight easier to leave you than if you'd married Ked Parker,',
"Why, Aunty?" aaid Content, a light blush only testifying her surprise at this addresa.
" Because he was a selfish feller; he alwaya was. I believe aome women are better offto marry, thougb I can't say but what I believe a single state ia as good; but a womau that gets a real lazy, aelfish feller geta pretty near the worat thing there is. I seemed kind of hard, 'Tenty them days, but I had feelin' enough."
" I don't doubt but what you had. Aunt 'Viny; only one can't see far ahead, you know when it raina. I'm sure I've beeu aa happy as a clam these last six yeara, and I don't calculate to risk that by gettin' married, never. Besides, I've leamed what yoa used to call the grjiss's leason, pretty well."
Here Parson Goodyear Interrupted the con¬ versation, and it never was resumed ; for the week after Miss Viny died, and Content was left alone in her little house, "to battle with the world," as people say. But no con¬ flict ensued, since it takes two to make a quarrel, and 'Tenty wsa on good terms with the Deerfield world. So she lived on, peace¬ ful aud peace-making, till forty found her as' comely and as happy as ever, a source of perpetual wonder to the neighbors who said of her. _" Sbe has got the dreadfolleat faculty of gettin along I ever aee," and thereby solved the problem, for all except one, and tbat other one 'Tenty's oppoaite in every trait, Jliss Mebitable Hall, Hannah-Ann's old¬ er sister, an old maid of the straitest aect, and one who waa no wise sustained under the inflictions of life by the consciousness of en¬ ough money to sapport her, and her friends to care for her approaching age.
If was Miss Hitty Hall's delight to be mis¬ erable : rather an Irish expression, but the only one that snita her oase. One bright October afternoon abe came over to aee Con¬ tent, briDging her blue knitting, snre symptom ofa viaitation. 'Tenty welcomed "her with hei uaual cordial homeliness, gave her the easiest chair ahe had, and commenced hoapi¬ talitiea.
"Do lay off yoar things, Mi^a HaU, and set awhile; I haven't aeen you for quite a spell." "Well I don't really know how to," replied Misa Hitty. " I don't know but what every¬ thing will go to rack while Pm away. Sly help is dreadful poor,—I can't calculate for her noway. I shouldn't wonder if sbe was settin' in the keepin'-room tbia minute looking atmy beat booka."
" Oh, I gueas not Miss Hitty. Now do let me take off yonr bonnet, and make ^youraelf easy. Bridget can't do much harm, and you're such a atranger."
" Well, I don't kuow but what I will,— there I Don't put youraeU out for me, 'T«nty —I'll set right bere. Dear me! what a clever houae thia is I A'n't you loneaome ? I do tbink it is dreadfal to be left all alone in this wicked world ; it appears aa though I couldn't endnre it noways, sometimes."
"Why, Miss Hitty 1 I'm sure you're ex¬ treme well off. Suppoaing now, yoa had married a poor man, and hsd to work all your life,—or a crosa man, always a-findin*  faalt.
" "Wall, that's a consideration, re'lly.—Now there's Hannah-Ann's huaband,-he's always uag-naggin'at her for aomething she'a done or ha'n't done the whole enduring time. Sbe'a real ailing, and he ha'n't no patience,—but theu he's got means, and ahe wanta for noihing. She had, lo aay, seven ailk dreaaea,  when I
was there last time,  and thinga  to match,	
that's aometbing.—Bat I'm sure yon have to work as hard aa though yoa waa a minister's wife,'Tenty. I dont see how you do keen np."
"Oh, I like to work. Miss Hitty I It kind of keeps my spirits up; aud all the folks in Deerfield are as clever to me as though I be¬ longed to 'em. I have my health aud I don't want for anything. I think I'm aa well off aa the Queen."
"Youhaven't had any great troubles," groanedMlaa'HItty. "I've snffered ao many 'flictiona I'm moat tired out; them is what wears on people, 'fllotions by death."
" I don,t know," meekly answered 'Tenty " I've had aome, but I haven't laid 'em up much. I felt bad while they lasted; hut I kuew other folk's waa so much worae, I was kind of shy about feeling' too bad over my troablea,"
"Well, youv'e got a real facalty at takin* iMngs easy; now Vm one the feelin' kind. I set down often and often to knit, and get a- thinkin' over times baok, and things people BMd and did years ago, and ibw bad I felt, tm IfeeljestBo (ig'ln,aaa I get ft^Byin' till 1,
aeems aa thongh I shoald screech right out, and I oan't sleep, nor I oan't do nothing."
"A'nt yon borrowln' troable a little bit. Miss Bitty? I've Mnd of figured It out that it's best to let tbinga that's dead and done for atay so. I don't know as we've got any oaH to remember 'em. "Tbe Lord reqalreth tbat whioh Is paat," it says in the Bible; and Pve alwaya looked npon that as a kind of hint to men tbat it wa'n't their buaineas, but the > Lord's."
« Oh, it's all very well to talk, 'Tenty Soran¬ ton 1—talk, do I—but 'tisn't ao mighty easy to praotiae on't."
«' Why, now, I thmk it'a the eaaieat way, by a aigbt, Miaa Ilitty. I didn't mean to oaat it up agamat yon, for I know it'a partly na¬ tur', more'n they're generaUy willing to allow. I know It does seem as if you oouldn't help thinkin' abont troablea sometimes, and it's qnite a ohore to keep bright; but then It seems so mnch more obeeiy not lo be fretted over things yon oan't help, and it ia snoh a aight pleasanter for everybody else I I deolare, it does aeem jest as thongh the Lord had made thla world for folks to have a good time in, only tbey don't all know how, and I always feel a oall to help 'em."
" You're a maater-plece to talk, 'Tenty,— bat it don't make the differenoe with me it does with some folka ; itseems as if I ehoald ha had a better time almost any way beside my way. I get more and more failin' every day,—I'm pretty near gone now. I don't know but what I aball die any time. I auffer 80 with rhenmatiz, snd I'm troubled consider¬ able with a risin' of the lunga; and sometimes I do think Pve got a spine In my back, it aehea and creaks so nights."
•• Why, I waa thinking, since you aet herer Miaa Hitty, how spry you be, and yoa've got a real 'hullsome look to your face; I ahould aay you'd grown fat."
" Fat!" exclaimed the Indignant spinster ; " about aa fat as a hen'a forehead 1 Why, Content Scranton I I'm dreadful poor,—poor aa Job'a turkey ; why, my arma is all bones and eiuners."
" Yon don't eay ao t I guess that's knittiog, Misa Hitty; you do knit beautiful. Is that worsted or cotten you're at now ?"
Praiae allayed Miaa Hitty's wounded aelf- pily. She grew amiable under Ita slow drop¬ ping dewa always, as 'Tenty knew.
"Oh,   this a'n't anything to boast of.    I call thia common knitting; It's a pair of socks I promised Misa Warner for her boy.    Speak¬ in* of her boy Ned makes me think;—have , you heard the news, 'Tenty ?" No, I haven't beared any." " Well, it's jest like a story-book.    Ned Parker,—he't was Doctor Parker'a son, an' promised to our Hanner-Ann,—he's tnrned up, it appears.    Ha wa'n't drownded, but he wss washed asbore, and tbe Indians tbey took bim, and he wasn't able to get away for ten years; then a whaler's crew catched sight of him, bavin' atopped there for water, and took him aboard, and he's been the world over since.   He oalculated everybody to Deerfield was dead and married,  ao he didn't come back; but now he ia a-comin' back, for he'a lost a leg, and he's got aome money, and they say he is a-goin' to settle down here." " Haa be oome yet, Miss Hitty?" " No, they're espectln' of him to IMisa War¬ ner's every day;—you know she  was Mis Parker's half-brother's wife."
"Yes, I bave beared ahe waa. But, Miss Hitty, don't roll up your work."
"Oh, I mnst be a-goin',—it's time; mj help will be atandin* on her head by thia time, like enough. I don't see but what one Irish girl ia about aa coufinin' as seven chil¬ dren, I'm anre."
With which despairing remark, Mias Hitty put on her shawl and calash and departed;- while Content filled her teakettle and prepar¬ ed for supper.
But while the kettle boiled, she sat down by the window, and thougbt about Miss Hit¬ ty's news. Her first feeling was one of sur¬ priae at heraelf, a sort of sad surprise, to feel how entirely tha love that once threateued to wreck her life ba 1 died out of It. Hard, in¬ deed, it is to believe that love can ever die 1 Thy young giri clings passionately even to her grief, and rejects as an insult the idea that snob deep regret can beoome less in all a lifetime,—lhat love, immortal, vital, all-per¬ vading, can perish from its prime, and flutter away into dust like the dead leaves of a rose. Yetia it not the less true. Time, cold reaaoui bittter experience, all poison Its life-apringa; respect, esteem, admiration, all tum away from a point that offera no foothold for tbeir clinging; and she who weeps to-day tears hot as life-blood, ten years hereafter may look with oool distaste at the paat passion she haa calmly weighed and measured, and thank God that her wiah failed and her hopo was cnt down. Yet Ihere is a certain price to pay for all such experience, to such a heart aa sat in the quieted boaom of Coutent. Had it been posaible for ber to love agaiu, abe wonld have felt the cbange In her nature far less; but with the atream, the fountain alao bad dried, and ahe waa consciona that an aridueaa, un¬ pleasant and unnatural, threatened to desolate her aoul, and her conflict with this had been tbe hardest battle of all. It ia so hard to love voluntarily,—to satisfy one's self with minor affections,—to know tbat life offers no mtire its grandest culmination, ils divineat triumph,—to accept a auccession of wax-lighta beoause tbe aun and the day can retarn no more,—above all, to feel thai the capaoity of receiving that sunlight is fled,—tbat, so far, one's own power Is eternally narrowed, like the loss of a rigbt hand or the blinding of a right eye 1 Patience endnres it, but even patience weeps to think how the fair Intent of the Maker is marred,—to see tbe mntilated image, the brokennesa of perfection I
Not that 'Tenty was conscious of all theao ideaa. They simplified themaelvea to her simple nature in a brief soliloquy, as ahe sat looking at the splendid haze uf October, glori¬ fying tbe scarlet maples aud yellow elma of Deerfield Street, now steeped in a sunset of purpled crimsou that struck ils level raya across the sapphire hill-tops and tranaOgured briefly that melancholy earth dying into winter's desolationa.
" WeH, it is curious to think I ever cared so muoh for anybody aa I did for Ned Parker I poor, aelSah cre'tnr', just playing with me for fon, as onr kitty does with a mouse ! and I re'lly thought he was a fine man I Live and leara, I declaie for't! He let me know what kind of cre'turs men are, though. I haven't had to be pestered with one all my life, I'm thankfal: that's one good thing lo come out of evil. I don't kuow but wbat I shonld like to feel as wide awake again as I did then; but 'ti:5n't worth the price."
Sayiug which, Mias 'Tenty brewed her tea, spread her bread and batter, and with a bit of cheese made ber savory meal, cleared it away, washed the dishes, and resumed her work aa peacefully aa if her life had been all as aerene aa to-day.
Ned Parker did oome back to Deerfield, and settled there,—a coarae, red-faced, stont, sailor¬ like man, with a wooden leg. Teu years in Patagonia and teu years.of whaling had not improved his aspect or his morale. He swore like a pirate, chewed, smoked a pipe, and now and then drank lo excess; and by way of ele¬ gant ¦ diveraion to these amusements, fell in love with Content Scranton! Her trim figure, her bright, cheerful fa^ie, her pretty, neat lit¬ tle houae and garden, the rumored " interest- money," that waa the fruit of years of hard work and aaving, all attraoted thia lazy, selfish man, who, remembering his youth, fancied he had only to ask, to receive; and was atmofc wilh aatonlahmeut to hear,—
" No, thank you," In a y%xj calm, olear tone, answered to his proposition.
" Good Lord I yon women are queer oraft I swear, I thought yon'd lay to whenI h'iated aignala; I ha'n't forgot past thmea and the meetin'-honae steps, if you have, 'Tenty Soranton."
"Yon've forgotten Hannah-Ann HaU, I guess," t^totted Uie indignant litUo wobuuu
Ked Parker awore a great oath; he Aad for¬ gotten that passage,—though only for a mo¬ ment.
"Look here I" said 'Tenty, coloring with quiet wrath. "I cannot be friendly, even, with a man that talks that way. Yon had yonr si>ort, makin' believe yon liked me, and I didn't know better than to believe yoa was an honest man. I did think a aight of yon I then, Ed'ard Parker. I a'n't ashamed to own it. I had reaaon to,—for yonr aotions was louder than words. But when I oame to know you hadn't meant nothing by all yonr praiaes and kiaaea and fine words, except juat to have yonr own fuu while you stayed, no matter what became of me, I see, after I'd got the teara ont of my eyes, what kind of a self- seekin*, mean, paltry man it was that could oarry on so with an innocent young girl, and I hadn't no more reapeot for yon tban I have for a potato peeling. I've lived to blesa the Lord that kept me from yon, and I a'n't going to take my blesainga back, It'a becanse I do remember them timea that I aay Ko, now.— Your looket Is at the hottom of our well; bnt any love I Itad with it Is drowned deeper, ; down to the bottom of nothing. I wish you | weU, and to meni your ways; bnt I don't want to aee yon here, never I"
After thia pungent diamission, nothing was left for Ned Parker but to hobble from the honse, ouraing to himaelf for ahame, while 'Tenty baried her faoe in her apron and oried as bitterly as If fifteen, inatead of fifly, aaaailed her with ita aorrowa.
Why did ahe cry ? Who knowa ? Perhapa, if you, my dear friend, longiug for the face that bloomed, the lipa that kiaaed, the eyea tbat smiled for you, years ago, should aud¬ denly be confronted by those featurea, after years of deatb and decay had done their ghast¬ ly work on them, bones grinning from their clinging morsels of olay, yon, too, might hide your head and cry with terror and disgust and regret. And again you might not. Aa I aaid before, who knowa ?
But after thia, Content aubsided into her peaceful routine. Ned Parker drank himaelf inlo delirium-lremena, spent all his money, and came npon tbe lown. But at that juno- ture, the Reverend Edward Goodyear, Parson Goodyear'a aon and auccessor, interfered Id his behalf, hired a room and a nurse for him, and had him taken oare of in the most gent-r- ous and faithful way for the remaining year- mid-a-balf of hia life. Mr. Goodyear aaid he was acting for Parker'a friends; aome aaid he had a rich unole, who was moved to compaa- sion at last; some thonght it was Hannah- Aun Hall; but only one person knew, and ahe aaid nothing.
Tho day Ked Parker died, the young minis¬ ter atepped in to aee 'Tenty Scran', and told her he was gone. Content did not ory nor smile.
" Pm glad he'a rested," aaid she; " tbougb I haven't no certaiuty about his state here¬ afler."
" Yon muflt leave that with the Lord, Miaa Content," said Mr. Goodyear. "You have done what was right: You can't think He will do less."
" That's a faot; aud now I expect my last trouble ia over."
" But it has taken almost all your money,'' heaitatingly replied the miniater.
" Well, that's the least ofmy concerna, Mr. Goodyear," smiled 'Tenty. " I'm apared my handa yet, and I shan't want for nothing while they last. When I get helpless, fexpect the Lord wilUake care of me. I shan't worry about it tlU it comea."
"Thatis philosophy, certainly," said Mr. Goodyear.

A PICTHEE OF LIFE.
DON'T GET ^SCOXJRAGED.
Don't get discouraged I Who ever gained anything by drawing down the comers of his aioutb when a cloud came over the snn, or letting his heart drop like a lead weight Into his shoes wben miafortnne came upon him 7 Why, man, If the world knocka you down and joatles past you in Its great race, don't sit whining under people's feut, bat get up, rub your elbowa, and begin again. There are aome people who even to look at Is worae than a dose of chamomile tea. What if you do happen lo be a little puzzled on the doUar- and-cent qneation ? othera besidea you have stood in exactly the spot, and struggled brave¬ ly ont of it, and you are neither halt, lame, nor blind, lhat you can not do likewise! The weather may be dark and rainy—very well- laugh batween tbe drops and think cheerily of the blue sky and sunshine that wUl surely come lo-morrow! Business may be dull; make the best of what you have, and look forward lo sometbing more hopeful. If you catch a fall, don't lament ovor your bruises I but be thankfal that no bones are broken. If you can't afford roast beef and plum pudding, thank your stars for the indigestioD and dys¬ pepsia you thereby eacape ! Bat the momen t you begin to groan over your troubles and count np tbe calamities, you may as well throw youraelf over the docks and be done witq it: The luckiest fellow tbat ever lived might have woea enough, ifhe set himself seriously to work looking them up. They are like in¬ visible specks of dust; yon don't see'em tlU yon pat on your speotacles to discover what is a great deal better let alone ?
Don't get discouraged, little wife I Life Is not long enougb to spend In Inflaming your eyes and reddening your nose becaaae tbe padding won't bake, and yoor husbaad says the new sbirls you worked over so long " set Hke meal-bags." Make auother pudding- begin the new shirts anew! Don't feel " down in the mouth " beoanae dust will settle, and clothes will wear out, and orockery will get broken. Being a woman don't prooure you an exemption from troable and care; you have got to flght the battle of lifo as weU aa yon' huaband, and it will never do to give np with, out a bold struggle. Take tbings aa they oome, good and bad togetber, and whenever you feel inclined to cry, juat change yoar mind and laugh ? Eeep tbe horrors at arm'a length; never tum a bleaaing rouud to aee if it has got a dark aide to it, and always take it for granted that tbingB are blesainga until they prove to be something elae.
Kever aUow yourself to get diacouragedi and yon'll find tbe world a pretty comfortable sort of a place after all.
" Gharlea, come here." Slowly the boy approachea hia mother, when tbe latier gives him a smart box at the ears, adding: " There, take' that; and now go to work." >
" Why, motber, what have I done ?" " Done, you bavo not done anything, only set poring over that old paper for an hour."
"But, mother, the chorea are done, and it is atormlng." " Go under the shed, then, and saw wood." And he went, the boy of fourteen, dwarfed alike iu body and mind, the former by hard la¬ bor on the farm, the latter by hard worda and " hard knocks."' Poor boy 1 and thia was the nephew that I had ao longed to see, for I re¬ membered him as a sprightly boy of three years, aU life and animation; and this was the aisler that I had come ao far to viait, and thia waa my firat obaervation day in thefamUy cir¬ cle, for slokneaa had hitherto confined me to my room, where all had been amiles and Mnd at¬ tention. My siater was aome yeara older than myaelf, bnt being only aisters, we were much together, and had few if any secrets tbat we concealed from eaoh other, and for awhile after wa married, the ono going toward the riaing, j the other the aetting aun, we had kept up a reg-1 uiar correapondence, but the owea of a growing family and poor hoalth aoon checked the letters and at laet they ceased entirely. Once Bhe had visited her " old home" and friends, and bronght Charlie ber first born with her, a bright lad of thrae summers.- 'Eleven yeara had pasaed when I decided to make her avislt and see how she prospered in tbe far Weat. Success bad crowned their labors, and to the casual observer, nothing was wanting to make life agreeable.
Three lovely giils wandered from room to room. Let us follow them to the aitting room. The eldest threw down ber book, whioh In¬ atead of reaching the table as she had de¬ aigned, feU to the floor. Inatead of saying, " Piok it up my daughter," the molher gave her a quick slap on the head whioh sent her reeling ; and picking it np herself. Qniet was i acarcely restored ere anoiher offender, for some slight cause, received a box and an angry word, and thua tbe afteraoon waa spent. I was in hopea lhat such scenes were not common, and wailed impatiently for the evening, but, alas ? it oame all to soon, for as much aa my feelings had been tried through the day, they were worse tried In the evening. The candle was placed on the atand in the centre of the room; the father tired, with his day'a work In the woods, bad loaned hia chair againat the wall and waa already snoring; the mother with her young^ in her lap, rooking by the fire; I with my feet on the fender aud nobody by the light. Charlie hunted np his paper fwhich had been tucked away) and timidly drew up his chair np to the staud in hopes of finishing his story, bat hark 1 Come boy, juat move your chair back, and not make yoarself qaite so oonspiclous." Ue moved back, and aoon alipped out of the room and was aoon forgotten by all but myself; but oflen in ihe course of the evening did I won¬ der where the boy was. About nine he came in, and I expected a scene, but no question was aaked, and he passed on to his room. I could not refraiu from asking my sister where Chariea apent his eveninga. "Ob," sbe aaid, " be generally goea over lo the other houae; they take the Ledger, and always read it aloud, evenings. Tbia ibeu was the mystery ; the boy could not have the priv¬ ilege of reading at home, -and went lo the neighbora.
I felt sick, heart-sick, and home-sick, and longed for the qniet of my owu home. But a whole winter was before me, and something mnst be doue. At last all had sought their pillow save isij sister and myself; au unpleas' ant silence pervaded the room; I was tbinking how to begin ; I knew that my sister'a heart was In the right plaoe if I could reach it ; abe aeked me what I was thinking about; X told her I was thinking of our motber ; I asked her if ahe remembered how tenderly and lov¬ ingly she roared her family—how she sympa¬ thized with all oar little imaginary wrongs and troubles—bow she taugbt us to pray and sing, aa well as read and work; how pleasantly we apent our eveuings, wben mother woald lell us some pleasant slory, or brotber Charlie would read the newspapers ?
It waa enough, already she was weeping on my bosom ; no promiae was asked or given, but I heard ber go softly to her boy's room, and as she returned I heard ber murmur, " God bleas him," and I knew the good work was begun. It was some time before all the little outbreaks were dispensed with, but a look was suifieieut lo slill the tempest, and ore apring, the time for mydeparturo, had arrived a lovelier and pleasanter family coald not be found. Charles accompanied me home to fin¬ ish his education, and he promises slill to fulfill the hop^s of early years.

OmGIN OF CONSUMPTION.
The .American Medical Monihly for Septem' her contains some novel and interesting views relative to the nalure and treatment of con- anmplioD. Tbe seat of this terrible malady is affirmed to be the lymphatic syatem of vessela ; and as these miaute tubes form a close inter¬ lacement throughout the whole body, being also endowed with mnob aotivity, diseaaed fluids transmitted throagh them are liable, an¬ der cerlain conditions, to be deposited any¬ where, and to be spread or accumulated wilh prodigious rapidity. The nature of consamp¬ tion is stated to conaist in a deprivation of the fluids whicb are propelled throagh theae tiny lymphatic conduits. Two theoriesare proposed lo accouut for tbe presence of tbe pernicious elements which here taint and poison the springs of life at their source. One party af¬ firms that the process of nutrition is at fault, and that part of the food is eaten lazily and imperfeotly assimilated, ofiering itself iu a crude, half-prepared alale, to the action of vessels not adapted to deal wilh such material, bat only with that which bas beeu submitted to a completer preliminary elaboration. Iience cellular development, the first step in organiza tion, is impossible. The fluid cannot bs taken np. It never becomes vitalized or forms a nniou with any living tissue. On the contrary, it ia a burden, and soon canses mischief. Anoiher party thinks tbat the material thus existing in the far-reaching network of lymphatic ves¬ sels is due to decay, and conlains the products of organio dissolution.
Both opinions are well supported, and per¬ haps bolh may prove to be true. That some noxious materials, whether thedcirts of os«d- np tissues, or withered dead elements refusing to beoome new tissues, are thrown copiously near the lymphatics, ia agreed ; aud also that tbe qaautily of such products is so great that this active sewerage-apparatus cannot carry it away. It accumulates and hardens iuto tuber¬ cles. The canse of this dreadfal malady is stated by onr author to be primarily the want of oxygen, whose presenoe iu sufficient qnan- titywontd either jrevent the formation of the tuberculous material, or would give power t** cast it out aa soon as formed. A care iu tbe early stages of the disease is said to have some¬ times beeu secured by the use of chlorate of potass, and other remediea whioh supply oxy¬ gen to the blood. Prevention, however, here aa everywhere, is easier than cure, and ia sel¬ dom impossible, wbatever be the hereditary tendency to the malady. Muscular exeroiae, regalar habita, fresb air, suitable food, ample rest, aotive occupation, well ventilated apart¬ ments, proper olothiug and exemption from oorrodinganxiety, are among the indispensable and most ordinary precautious.

BRANDY AS A SLEDICINE. nnHE following article was voluntarily

BBANDY AS A MEDICINE :-Tbl8 now mneh abused alcohelio sUmulaut was never inteuded as a baverage, bnt was used os a medicine of greot puteuey and relia¬ bility in the core of some of tbe moat destructive and virulent dlseaaut,wfaich aweptbeforetbem their aunnol thouaanda uf victims. Aside from tfae indlspenaoble use of oleufaol io the arta ond nionufacinrea, we, wltfa a purely pbllontfaroplc motive, intend lo preseot to tfae fovombln notice of moa/ids—especlolly those alllicted wltb that protoon and miserable dlaease. Dyspepsia— a HpHcUlc romudy ia notfalng more nor leaa than BRANDY. Tbo aged, with feeble appaUtes, and more or la^-a datillliy. will find tbia simple mediciue, wban nt-od pioperly, a aovereign romedy for all tfaeir Ills aod achns. Bnt eluce we faavt) recommeoded lhla as a remedy, ba it, bowever, strictly undersiood that we pre¬ scribe and nse butono articte, and tbat Is ^REIGART'S OLD BRANDY,'"—iiold by our entarprlalug young fiiuud.U. E. SLAYMAKlfu. Thin brandy baa t-tood tfae teal for yeaia. und has never fallod, as far oa our expe- riouce extends, ond we therefore give It tha preference over all other braudias—no matter wltbhowmony Javr- hreoklng Frt-acfa tiUea Ihoy are branded. Oue.fourlh ofthe money that ia yearly thrown oway ou varlons lmpotealdyapep«l»«peclflc8,would auSlce lo boy all ibe brandy locure any aucb caao or casea. We faave ofteo been odvlsed by promiuent cltliena Io GUI' neighbor¬ hood—whoare strictly temperate—to pahliah tbe vir¬ tues of lhla braody, in tbls oil pervading malady, aa It would in a manner obolisfa the fagat of wonld-bd quack remedies, with wfaich involld^ are so ontrageoualy hnmbngped, and bring cfaeer Xhitfomfort to mauv o deaolate fireside. Io proof of wfaat ReigarVsOld Brandy bas accomFll'-had as a remedy, in the dlanaaea to whicfa wefaaveallnded. we caaanmmon quite a respectable nnmber of peraoos, who wUl freely le^Ufy aa to tfaa great and loaUuR bouefils they have derived from lra aae aa a medicine. Soveral caaea of the moat luvetenite fonu of Dy>pepria—where it proved auccCEafuI—ahouM aloue anlflce to couvloce any liberal mlod that Old Brandy la Iofallible. Ona caae in parUcnlar we will cite:—A hard working farmer bod been afliicled with auvxhaUHtiug dyapepaia for a numberof years; bis ajomacfa would reject almost evory klndof food; fae had t(nj^,«ructations cunstaully—oo appotlte—tn fact, he waa obliged to reatrlct his diet to crackers and »talo hTeitd,'and au a faaToraga fae uaed McOrano'a Bo^tBtter, Ua tn a Methodiat. aud then, as now, preached at times, and In his dlscouraa often declaimed earneatly againat atl klnda of Urong drink. When aJvUed to try Rci. gart't Otd Brandy in bis caao, b» lookod up wlih oston- lafament; bnt after relating Ita wonderful effecta in the cases of aomo of hla near acqnalolaucas, be at lost con- sented to follow our advice. He oaed the broody foitb- fnlly and steadily; the Aral boUlo giving bim an appetite, and before the second wsa oil uken he was a souud man, wltfa o atomaih copuble of dIgeBllogooy Ihing which he choae lo eat. Ue atill keepa It ood naea a Utile oceaaionally; and. moreover, aince he has thie medicine, he faaa beeu of very Uttle pecaniary benefit to tfae doctor. If auy aro skeptical, or helieva tfala !fl wrltloa tobenefltany liquor dealer wecan, If required, give acertiflcatf endorsed hy qnlte a reapectable uumber of petBons. who hive been cured by It, and who wlU at anytime cheerfaily tesUfy aa to Its auperior healthy Tirtnes in dyapepaia. and aU diseases of a debUlaUog cfaaracter. Thoae dealing to nse this brandy wIU obtain foU dlrecUons of Ur. Slaymaker; but auch as desire to UM It for Intoxicating parposes, we advise to rother suffer with dyspepsia, and let Retgarfs old brandy get older, or untU tbey cau form a rssotuUon to use It aa ft medlcUie.
