The trees "are still osvfresh and green
As ever branches were ;

Is “God is hereto day.”

As sweetly sings to me.
The bleakest winds that Winter blows
Can chase disease away,
And shower blessings in the snows
That hide the earth to day.
And everywhere 3 thousand gifts
Invite us to rejoice-—
To grieve nomore the days of yore,
But raise is thankful voice ;
That tell us though the world were fair
In years removed for aye,
The earth, and sky, and sea, and air
As lovely are to-day.
Then tell me not that childhood’s days
Alone are fraught with joy ;
That manhood’s fancy cannot raise
The structures of the boy.
The childish inindislost in dreams
Of pictures far away ;
But man beliolds majestic themes,
The wonder of to-day.

And thank Him for to day.”

“I want to be an Angel,” or the
last days or little Freddie.‘
An interesting child of four eummerer
lay weaiily upon its . couch of suffering»
For days and .weeks.he had endured ox-
trome agony from a painful scald, which
the tendereet care of friends nor skill
of physicians could alleviate. His pn-
tience, which was often severely tested,
was remarkable for a child so young.-
When an interval of ease. or relief come.
he would turn from his own sorrows to.
sympathize with the trill: of his moth-
er, or to talk of Jesus "and his love to
children, of heaven ‘and the angel.
throng. .
Before his illness be delighted to. go
to church, and asked many questions as
to. the. meaning of the exercises there.
The music especially interested him,
and during the performance of the choir.
his gaze was fixed steadfastly upon them.
- He often asked his mother to repeat
the words of the Saviour, when he says‘,
"Suffer little children to come ‘unto me,
and forbid them not, for of inch is the
kingdom of Heaven." He dearly loved
to repeat the sweet lines :
“ I went to be on angel
And with the angels stand,
A crown upon my forehead,
A harp within my hand.
And there before my Saviour,
So glorious and so bright ;
l’d wake the sweetest music,
And praise him day and night.
I know I’m weak and sinful,
But Jesus can forgive,
For many little children
Have gone to Heaven to live.
Oh, blessed, piiro and holy,
I’d dwell in Jesus’ sight,
And with ten thousand angels
I’d praise him day and night.
And then I’d be an angel,
And’ with the angels stand,
A crown upon my forehead,
A harp within my hand.
Two days after his injury, he waked
in the night, and after talking awhile
with his mother, wished her to sing
with him,
vvsv»
I
sufficiently suppress her emotions to
sing. At ‘length she succeeded in
calming her feelings, and there in the
still and solemn hours! of night, they
sang together thateweet hymn.
As time «passed on, hope began to
down in thehearts of his friends, that
their beloved one would again be res-
tored to his wonted health. Something
of the sportivexiees of childhood began
to manifest itself, and his wounds were
thought -to be healing rapidly. But He
"who sees the end from the beginning,”-
“siw fit tovdinppoint the fond rising hope
and lay the darling low. Freddie de-
clinedvrspidlynnd it soon ‘become sp-
pnrqntthat earth was not long‘: to be his
home.
A short -time before his death, he
would sing in a sweet, plaintive voice,
two verses of his favorite hymn,
“I want to be an ‘angel, .
And=witli the angels stand,” die,
his e'trength- failing him before he reach-
ed the close‘. A I
' When it became manifest that be was
failing, the physician was resuinmoned
to attend him,- but human aid’ w|s'gow-
erleu, howailfiietiink-lug to the tomb.-
One morning the sands of life seemed
ebbing‘, but it was thought proper to at-

released from in severe euflbrings, and
is, we trust, enjoying the sweet experi.
once of pl'IiIiIIg"'IIlI ‘Saviour day and
night, in the world where there" is no
more pain or .sufl'ering,vand "where God
shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes " '
The clayey tenement was left-brcsth-
less, but looking most beautiful and life-
like. Ah Death, thou hut in lovely
prey when thou makes: laughing, hep-

"About what '!”
"My going to the city wrong side out-
ward.”
"What do you mean?” said Eunice.
"Oh, I see you never heard the story,
so I will tell you. Two years ago, I
spent a few weeks with my friends, the
Wilmotii, near the city of A ..
in the family were two young ladies
who found it necessary to do a. great
(l8_Il of shopping, and not a little visiting
in the city, and of course patronised the
railroad connecting their little village
with the "Green Street Depot” [0 no
trifling extent. .
“Now you shall see what a handsome
and gentlomanly conductor we have on
this route,” said Bell Wilmot to me, as I
took a luxurious cushion in a crowded
car for my firet "miscellaneous" tripto A.
“ ‘He is my beau-ideal of a conductor’
added Kate; “let the car be ever so
crowded, lie is sure to find a place for
the ladies. and never objects to our band
boxes and our carpet bags, as many ill-
natured fellows, dressed in a little brief
authority, are apt. to do; and if our pur-
see are short after .a shopping excursion,

ted by the starting of the train.
_. "We were whirled off to A in
about twenty minutes, yell had oppor-
tunity to notice that the labled official
was, indisputably very considerate and
attentive, at all events, to our party.-
;Hc opened the window which wac'swol-
len by damp weather, at a look from
Kate, and ordered a Dutchman, smoking
meekly upon the platform, into the bag-
gage car, at a symptom of fainmess from
Bell. I-could but acknowledge that
Fanny Fern should add to her list of
models “ a model conductor,” taking
this one for her original. ‘
"Arrived out our destination I was
again entertained with my friends’ prais-
es of. the various merchants and milli:
nets they were accustomed to patronize.
" ‘I always purchase silks at Weav’
er’s, they are so conscientious, and nev_
ertry to palm off an inferior article up-
on a customer. , At Mrs. Laselieis you
will find a superb assortment of gloves
and embroideries. The proprietress is a
reduced French countess, and one of the
most lady-likepersons you ever saw,’
rattled Bell Wilrnot.
“And if ' you wish to buy shoes, be
sure to call at Marvin's: they are so ac-
.commodat_ing ; they never make wry fa-
ces, if you happen to break a string or
lose a clasp. or any such trifling accident’
said Kate. ‘
"This was enough, yet if I needed
more to convince me of the superior ex-
cellence of these aristocratic shopkeep-
ers, that afternoon's observation would
have furnished it. No sooner did the
rich brocades, and capes, and ribbons of
-the fair Misses Wilmot flutter inside a
shop door than every attendant, from
proprietor to errand boy, proceed to don
their most ohsequious smiles and agree-
able department. It was not strange,
Eunice. . The young ladies carry heavy
purses, and were easily persuaded to
lighten them.
"The afternoon passed pleasantly and
fatiguinglyly enough, in chatting and
shopping, in shaking hands with old ac-
quaintances, and trying to bow graceful-
ly to new introductions, and on our re-
turn, mid many expressions of satisfac-
tion as our purchases were unrolled and
exhibited before Mrs. Wilmot. and Aunt
Lucy, the girls forced ‘me to confess that
the A merchants and the A
and O-———- conductor far surpassed
any in the known world.
“And so it was, almost daily, for the
first. fortnight of my stay. At one time
we called on a celebrated dentist for some.
trifling tooth operation. He was an ac-
quaintance of Bell's, and she presented
him to me as a friend. He was very
handsome, and his voice and smile cap-
tivating to one who could appreciate

Eunice! I had only seen the silken side!
" ‘Pray go on,’ said Eunice.
" ‘One rainy morning, I received a
letter from home, giving notice that my
young sister was about to take Western
tour with a‘ friend. ‘New dresses, of
course, are requisite,’ wrote my mother
and I wish you toprocure and send them
immediately. Then follows a list of the

“The articles must be purchased that

noon the rain abated, and I notified my

The young ladies started with astonish-

said Bell, ‘but not to day. Why, you're

"I dressed, walked to the station but
a few rods distant, and found myself half
an hour too early. Very soon the clouds
lowered and rain fell in cataracts. S Ne v-
enheless, I stubbornly adhered to my de-
termination, the more stubbornly that I
knew the girls would ridicule me with-
out mercy if I returned. But I looked
at my dress_, and thought of my bonnet;
and was thankful that the old brown
veil I found crumpled in my pocket
would protect it. My man tilla was of

to wear it.

I did ? I turned it wrongg side omtwnrds
fit of an eight by ten looking glass. I
glanced in it, and seeing what a ludi-
crous figure my old veil and rusty outer
garment made in contrast with my fine
cashmere travelling dress with its richly
trimmed basque, the idea of going to the
city thoroughly disguised, at once pre-
sented itself. The skirt of my dress was
separate from the body, and I had lined
it for comfort in winter, with an old
gingham dress, clean and whole, but I
must confess, sadly faded. VVell, I turn-
ed this wrong side outward, also.”
"You don't mean that you went to the
city in that style,” said Eunice.
“I did, and enjoyed it, too, convinced
that I was doing a sensible thing. But
you shall bear. Scarcely was my old
toilet completed, when the whistle soun-
ded, aud drawing the thick veil tightly
over my face, I made my way to the
nearest car. And now commenced the
developments. The handsomely and
gentlemanly conductor nearly knocked
me over in the doorway, in his willing-
ness to pioneer a lady in blue silk with
four flounces, a sachel ; a hat-box, a par-
asol, and a. lap dog, safely out upon the
platform. Returning while I stood ga-
zing vacanily at the rows of hats and
boots, none of which moved to relinquish
a seat in my behalf, the model conduc-
tor pointed to an uncomfortable corner
seat, between a black woman with :1 ba-
by and white woman with two babies.
Of course I accepted it, and the cunning
pranks of the little African made my
hard seat endurable. -
"Well, I reached the city and made
my way to Weavei-’s fashionable store.
The skies were weeping briskly, and I,
carrying a blue cotton umbrella, proba-
bly did not call up golden visions to the
eyes of the young gentlemen clerks, who
louuged upon the counters, or sat with
feet elevated. When I enquired for silks
tissues, grenadinee, any fine summer
dress goods, there was one undivided
stare.
"It would take too much time to tell
how some strainer silks, and half otton
bareges were first produced, and how I
eventually convinced them that I under-
stood their proper quality. Suffice it to
say I purchased nothing there. though
tempting articles were finally displayed
before me, but I suited myself at less
pretentious establishments.
"Next to Mrs. Lasall’s I went, whose
anathemas upon me for detecting the
cotton laces presented me for linen, I
will not repeat, but must say they were
delivered in a very uncountess like rage
though in excellent French. I
“I did not try the shoe-store that day
but in passing Dr. R’s office, something
prompted me to enter. I had been amu-
sed, and not the least disappointed by
my afternoon's experience but now a lit-
tle anxiety mingled with much
curiosity. I bethouglit me of a nervous
toothache that had robbed me of sleep
for a portion of several nights, and which
I had seduously concealed from the fam-
ily, chiefly because Aunt Lucy's infalli-
ble remedy in such cases was whiskey
and ginger, boiliug hot, a remedy to me
Infinitely worse than the disease. Per-
haps Dr. R. could name something less
objectionable.
“I rang gently, and was admitted.-—
The doctor who was tallcing and smo-
king with a dashingyoung man, glanced
at my dress as I entered, and without no-
tice went on with the coiiversation.—
Finally I iiisinuated a slight cough, and
he turned towards me, with-
"Well old lady, what is the matter
with you P”

best cure for an aching tooth.”
" ‘ Crooked iron, marm, applied cold,
is the best thing, and animal magnetism
is next best. Ever try it hey T’ And
the man of science winked and grinned
to his companion, who in turn ejected a
‘quid of tobacco from his mouth, quite
near my poor gingham skirt, and laugh-
ed imnioderately, In two seconds I was
in the street, and on my way to the de-
pot questioning within myself whether
there are such qualities yet remaining
in our world, as unbounded honesty and
kindness. My doubts were to be iemo-
ved. The train stood at the depot as I
came in sight, and I Ihnrried my steps
least it should depart wi then: me.
"I managed to gain a seat, but had no
time to purchase a ticket, and when the
conductor came, I felt for my pone mon-
neie to pay the necessary fare. It was
gone. An exploration of my pocket to
its lowest depths availed nothing, and I
in ii dilemma. I explained the matter
to him, assuring him I should leave the
cars at the next station, and would there
borrow the amount. He left me, mut-
tering his suspicions that the story was
a lie, and went on his rounds.
“Soon after some one touched my el-
bow, and on looking around, I was gree-
ted by a lank, ragged, uncombed Irish-
man, who smiled and held something to-
ward me. It was my port monnaie.
“ ‘Faith an’ havn’I: I been sa.rchin' the

have had for it.’ Bless the untutored
Irish heart! _

NEW YORK, April 11th. 1355-
The orijlamme of the Spring is bring-
ing out the music all over the land.—-
The song of birds is sounding through
‘he groves, and the chime of the dollars
is circulating through the pockets 50
long empty and silent. The monkeys
have returned from the South, and add
their buffo chattering to the strains of
their music grinding masters. Even
from the depths of the sea, the p0l'p0i-
ses are leaping up in gfolesque 8amb°!s
to greet the great water-birds in iheit
circling flight through the IOYIHS bree‘
zes of Spring. The old Adams and the
tempting Eves are re-appearing in the
budding Edens of city and county, and
Satan is also among them. It is strange
"to observe how the old serpent will pop
in wherever there is music and beauty
and ought of human happiness, and
change it all to discord and sin and sor-
i-Bw_ Our every day snakes of the nine-
teenth century liavn’t forgotten the trick
of their slimy original. A bird’s warble
or a woodland flute will bring them out
of their holes in search of prey. There
seems to have been sound reason in the
old Puritan's and Quaker P"°j“di°°
against music. Satan is a great lover
of church choirs, especially if he detects
any femnle voices around. The Episco-
pal church in this city is being exercised
on this subject by discoveries and reve-
lations in some of their organs.
Some years since, on the occasion of
our religious anniversaries, Satan in-
troduced the fii-st troupe of model BN5“
in our country. Scriptural subjects at-
tracted large audiences, and many of the
dominies from a distance had their moral
feathers sadly singed. FinallY- when
they got down as far as Susan and the
Elders, the old serpent’s tail was discov-
ered, and he was obliged to leave Bibli-
cal expositions and go back to the clas-
sical illustrations of Jupiter and Venus.
The ancient dragon is now opening the
spring on the same dodge.
This time he has taken good care to
get the endorsement of the Pope. How-
ever, he hasn't managed the thing with
his usual tact. A few strong resolutions
from the Know Nothing councils and a
recommendation from Beecher and the
Independent, should have been his tick-
et. Probably he regarded them as rath-
impracticable Republicans, and therefore
somewhat opposed to the Pope, the Dev-
il, and Model Artists. We refer to the
late exhibitions in one of our principal
theatres, where the crucifixion and last
moments of our Saviour have been rep-
resented in alternation with the Feast of 2
Bacchus, and received nightly with the
“Hi! Hi !s” of hundreds of the modern
“allies” of Lucifer. Those Who W351‘ ‘°

should witness these performances.
