My father had a fair-haired harvester ;-
I gleaned behind him in the barley-ind;
And there he put a red rose in my band: .
0 cruel, killing leaves those rose-leaves were!
He sang to me a little lovelorn lay,
Learned of some bird; and while his sickle swept
Athwart the shining stalks, my wild heart kept
Beating the tune up with him all the way. ‘
One time we tested by a ll‘lnpld steam,
War which the loose-tougued willows whispered

It cometh back upon me like a dream.
And there be told me, blushing said—sh me 1..

Like mine the color of her eyes and hair:
0 foolish hurt I thought that I was she!
Full flowed his manly beard; his eyes so brown
Made sweet confession with their tender look;
A thousand times I kissed him in the brook,
Across the flowery—with bashful eyelids down.
And even yet I cannot hear the stir
Of willows by. a water but I stop,
And down the warm waves all their length 1 amp
My empty Arum-to find my harvester.
In all his speech there was no word to mend;

SUNDAY Senders AMONG anm.—The
Rev. W. P. Paxson, missionary of the Amer-
ican Sunday School Union iii Missouri, re-
cently gave, in the name of the Union, two
packages of Bibles, books, primmers, papers,
etc, to a. Sunday School of colored people
in St. Charles, to supply a loss by burglary,
of what they had gained by hardest work.
The superintendent, whose parents were
zllaves, but who had the benefit of a little
schooling, which he is using for the good of‘
his not while seeking further improvement
wrote to Mr. Paxson a letter “ full of heart-
felt thanks to God, to Mr. P., and to the
American Sunday School Union, for which
the Sunday school implored the choicest
blessings." Their grief over their loss was
suddenly turned into joy, which found vent
in shouts—“ Thank the Lord, thank the
Lord, for lie-is good 1” “Glory to God!"—
attended with every demonstrationoflhap-
pinesa. One of the oldest scholars struck
up the hymn, “God moves in a mysterious
way,” which was sung with a. will and earn-
estness never witnessed there before". The
superintendent adds: “ we are all p'oor,
having been free but a short time, and we
have large families; but we are resolved to
make our children, with God’s help, good
Christiimmen and women.”—Indspendent.

When there is an established conviction

to ask from good men, renewed pledges of

A MAN Or Nnuvu—A Washington letter—
writer remarks of Mr. Greeley that “the con-
trol he has of his countenance is nearer

we wot of—it being said of the latter that if
any man were to kick him behold, a manin
frqtcould not tellfi'om the expression of
his face that any thing unusual was occur-

incident that occurred in Omaha: A gentle.
man who had received an' insulting missivo
determined to resent it promptly. Nekt day ,
’thinking he saw his man ahead, he hastily
overtook him, and administered several
pedal inhibitions. The~ kicked remaining
passive, tbe'kicker went round in front to
see the effect, and‘ discovered to 3his regret
that he had kicked the wrong man. He
apologized, and was answered:
“Don’t mention it. From the fieqnency

Mr. Luke Darcy shut the door of his bed-

straight to the breakfast parlor. ' '
All was bright and quiet, and pleasant
there; the coal snapping and sparkling m the
grate, the china and silver neatly arranged
on the spotless damask cloth, and the green
parrot drowsily winking his yellow eyes in
the sunny glow of the eastern window.
Bedlam plainly wasn’t located just there,

that a man can’t have a little peace once in

I thought I asked you to see that they were
fit for Christians to eat.”
Mr. Darcy gave his egg, shell and all a
vindicative throw upon the grate. Evelyn’s
brown eyes sparkled dangerously as she
observed the maneuver, but she made 110 ro-
marks. '
“And the plates are as cold as stone when
I’ve implored again and again that they
might be warmed. Well, I shall eat no
breakfast this morning.” .
“Whom will you punish?” demanded Miss
Clara. “Evelyn give me another cup of cof-

Luke‘ pushed his‘ehair back with a ven-

to the fire, both hands under his coat-tails.
“Please sir,” said the servant, deprecating-

Evelyn retreated preeipitately, Clara-rats:

“Do you know, Luke,” she said demurely
“I think you would feel a great deal better
if you would do just as Freddy does—lie flat
on the floor and kick your heels against the
carpet. It’s an excellent escape when your
choler gets the better of you.”
Luke gave his mischievous sister-in-law a
glance that ought certainly to have annihil-
ated her, and walked out of the room, clos-
ing the door behind him with a bang that
Would bear no interpretation. Then Clara
came around to her sister’s side, and buried
her pink face in Evelyn’s neck.
“Don’t scold me, Evy, please—I know I
have been very naughty to tease Luke so.”
“You have said nothing but the truth,”
said Evelyn. quietly, with her coral lips com-
pressed, and a. scarlet spot appeared on
either cheek. “Clara, I sometimes wonder
how I can endure the daily cross of my bus-'
band’s temper.”
“Temper!” said Clara, with a toss of her
chestnut brown hair. “And the pOOl' dear
fellow hasn‘t the least idea how disagreeable
he makes himself.”
“Only this morning}: said Evelyn, “be
punished Freddy with unrelenting severity,
for a fit of ill-humor which he himself has
duplicated within the last half hour. I am
not a moralist,but it strikes me that the fault
is rather more to be censured in a {till-grown

“Evelyn," said Clara, gravely, “do you
suppose he is beyond the power of euro 1”
“I hope not; but What can I do ? shut him
up, as be shut little Freddy-l”
Evelyn’s merry irresistible laugh was
checked by the arch peculiar expression in
Clara’s blue eyes.
“The remedy needs to be something short
and sharp,” said Clara, “and the dark closet
system certainly combines both requisites.
Tears and hysterics were played out long
ago in mairimonial skirmishes, you know,
Evy.” . , . ,
“Nonsense i” laughed Mrs. Darcy, rising

A Portrait for at. Ill-on.
J This sharp portrait of the political Pilate
of our day isfiom. 9 late sermon of Henry
Ward Beecher: . '
I had rather be a Puritan than? a Pilate.
What is a Pilate? A'Pilate is one of those
courtly gentlemen, polished, tasteful, expert,
who is not disturbed nor warped by convic-
tions in over-measure; who looks upon all
moral qualities as a. gamble;- looks upon
cards, which he shuffles, and plays accord-
ing to the exigeney of his game—and one
just as easy as another. A Pilate is a man
who believes in letting things have their
own way. “ Do not sacrifice yourself. DO'
not get. in the way of: movement. Do the
best thing. Livein peace with your time.
Be not like the fool who stands in his own
light. Maintain good appearances-that is
profitable. See to it that you do not go too
far,'one way or another. Study the inter-
ests of Number One all through. And,
whatever comes see that you come upper-
most. Do not be gross, brutal, fanatical—
that is not profitable. Preserve your bal-
ance. See that you keep your eye on the
chances. If they go .this way, you go with
them far enough to reap them. If they go
thoothcr Way, go with them. Do not be
too scrupulous. Be just enough so to gain
your ends. Use men, use events, use every-
thing that is profitable. Do not ‘use /your
conscience too much i” This is the language
of the Pilates of our day. Those who ride
astride of the times, and of admln‘ intrusions,
and of policies ; these men who are polished,
cold, calculating, speculating—these are the
pirates—the Pilates, I mean! It was a
blunder of the lip;
right!

A Cnumamlvifgrnnu or A SUNDAY
SCHOOL—A missionz’ify. of; ' the American
Sunday School Union in Kentucky, recently
visited a Sunday school at Russell’s school _
house, which he found prosperous and doing
good work among the children. It was
organized Dec. 24th, 1865, with only two
teachers and twenty scholars. '
Withiua short time a lady died, 102 years
old, who was the grandmother of all the
teachers and the great grandmother of near-
all the scholars. She had been a member
the church eighty years. This Sunday
school was her delight. It afforded her great
pleasure to hear the children sing and recite
eir Scripture verses. She would always-
how something to my about Jews.
This missionary speaks of another Union
Sunday school at Friendship school house,
(appropriate name) where seven teachers, of
time different denominaa'mw, are engaged
with thirty-two scholars, All is peace, har-
mony and happiness. This is the only re-
ligious meeting that can be sustained in this
neighborhood. The cam; is true of the Un-
ion Sunday School in hundreds of such neigh-
borhoods—NI Y. 0km”.
WBy Secretary Boutwell’s report, it
appears that the public debt has been re-
duced about $13,000,000 during the month
of May. The Secretary anticipates a still
larger reduction of the debt every month
hereafter. The fact also appears that the
amount of coin in. the treaseg has not di-
inished any since Mr. Boutwoll began to
11 one and two millions weekly. The
books show that there is coin intbe treasury
the amount of ninety million five hundred
and thirty-six thousand dollars, while there
a currency balance of thirteen million five
hundred and eightyone thousand dollarl.
