HYMNFOR
BY BIWALL S. COMING, D. D.
Free by thy might, O God,
We sound thy praise abroad
' In grand acclaim l '
Through night and storm and tears,
Through dark and- bloody years,
More than all strength that cheers
Was thy» great Name!
So ever led by Thee,
Right on to liberty
Our fathers strode 1
Their children own thy hand
And o'er our goodly laud
Uncovered, reverent stand,
' To worship God!
Free in the vows we speak——
Free in the laws me make—
Here freedom’s seat!
Fair cities rise in might,
Fair fields the eye delight,
Truth free upholds the right——
0 joy complete !
Rise, sons of liberty 1
Rise, maids and matrons free !
Rise, children, rise 1
Hail now the Hundredth Year,
Hail with resounding cheer.
Let all the nations hear
Freedom’s emprise 1
Sacred the tears we shed,
Over the honored dead
Of that great time 1 _
Shout we adown the years, ,
Ye who are freedom’s heirs,
Guard ye the ark that bears
Our hope sublime 1
Faith, law, and liberty,
Triumphant trinity,
By thee we stand 2
Long as the rivers run,
Long as endures the sun,
Our flag and country one——
God keep our land !

Those old fogies who feared thattheir chil-
dren would never know a silver quarter by
sight, have their forebodings made in vain by
the little flurry of it from the tremny- It
is no unusual thing down town to get dimes
and quarters, and it is the correct thing for
ladies’ stores up town to pay out at least one
piece of new silver with the change to each
customer. But the streets are not exactly
flooded with it just yet, and there is not so
much in circulation as was anticipated, for
the reason that when the banks paid out sil-
ver everybody began ‘to board it . up; those
who had large sums, to sell when it‘ was a
premium again, and those who had little,
kept. the first quarters paid them for pocket-
pieces. The businessmen and banks find it
difiicult to get enough specie for their wants
after all.

The Amateur Theatrical Society, made up
largely of young people connected with Mr.
Frothingham’s church, has plenty of laurels
and substantial success to look back to at the ‘
close of its seasons. It has played on Staten
Island, and I believe in Brooklyn, for chari-
ties, and in New York repeatedly for the
Centennial and for benevolent objects, reali-
sing over $5,000 clear. Their last entertain-
ment was by no means their least flattering
success. These theatricals are quite recherche
chairs, the audience all that is most fashiona-,
ble, as it is something of' a favor to secure'
tickets, which are only obtained frOm the
committee, and the playing is good enough
to call out special commendation from the
best critics of the daily‘papcrs. , Mr. George
Wm, Curtis, of Harper's-Magazine, drama-
tized his‘old sketches, “The Potiphar Pa-
pers," for this society, prominent among
whose members are Calvert Vaux, the Archi-
tect, and Mr. Frederick Stedman, theoldest
son of the poet Stedman; whilea daughter
of the artist, Frank Carpenter, counted by
judges one of the most beautiful girls in New
York, is one of the favorite actresses in 1a-
dies’ parts. JudgeBarrett and his daughter
played in one piece a week or two before the
Judge left the city, in which he took the
part of a young man, looking about twenty-
five, while the daughter was his sweetheart.

There is misery enough in the city, but
thercis a pitifully ludicrous side‘to not a few
of the. appeals made for aid. For instance,
there is the lady—usually Of Southern ex-
traction—who has suddenly lost a large prop-
aerty, and is thrown on her own resources,
pnd must make a living by her talents. Mind,
it is the talents, pure and single ; for she.
Wilt wait for such trifies as training and
business management. She either elects to
go on the lecture platform or give readings,
for which somebody has to provide her with
a costume, more or less gorgeous, and a hair-
dresser. There used to be a middle-man for
this sortcf thing, in the shape,of an unfor-
tunate lyceum agent, but a not very long con-
tinued 'course of lyceum bureaus having suf—
ficéd to bring every one conuected_with them
to bankruptcy, the. fair aspirants have to do
business themselves. A well-dressed woman
OOmes into one’s ofiice,- suave and smiling.
She has heard of you as a man of- liberality
and taste; she has had occasion to admire
you often for your, success in anything you
happen to pride yourself'ou a little; she tells
her piteous story of dcstitution‘, names her
address at a four dollars a“ 'day hotel, and begs
you to assist her by taking ten or twenty
tickets for her coming lecture. On asking
Our
the subject of her lecture, inquiry reveals .
she does not know—she has not yet decided
what to choose—and the lecture is neither
written nor announced. You are to take the
tickets, all the same, and pay for them 'on the
spot; for the lady wants the money to live
on, and, as she remarks, “ she is such a child
in these matters, it is so hard for her to have
to go round and distribute them in this way.”
This is no fancy picture, but'what took place
0 in the writer's presence in an ofiice, a few
days ago. ' ~ . I"

Thlsnaine includes all the rows except the
Central just now, for the annual spring
amusement of cutting rates is going on in
lively earnest. The 2d of March last, the
roads enteréd into a compact to raise rates,
making the price of carrying a. bushel of
grain to this city thirty-five 'cents a bushel on
all fines. The officers of the New York Cen-
tral claim that they immediately put this rate
in force on their road, acting in good faith,
while other roadde not give notice of the
change of terms to their agents for a month
- gifterward ;- of course giving them slarge ad-
vantage over the Central as long as they ad-
hered to the old rates. Forced to defend
* themselves, the Central cut their rates down
to 29 cents per hundred pounds, or about 12
cents a bushel, which makes good times for
the grain buyers. Since the Central cut
loose from the combination, their receipts of
rain, which were some 40,000 bushels per
mil": run up to 400,000; The compe-
tition so far he". been confined to east bound
freight, but the fight is so fierce between the
contending roads, that it is confidently ex~
pected that the rates on, west-going freight
will ' y be cut, and shippers are holding
their cargoes in anticipation of the fall. Not
.- long since the freight lines oflered to entry
packages at client 16 cents each, to out under
the pestegapacket rates,but dropped it when
Congress had bken action on thebill to reduce
third‘class'postsge. Still this ection draws

Apropos of Mr. Blaine’s resolution in the
House of Representatives, directing the com-
mittee of ways'andmeaus t6 consider some
measure to relieve the country from the
threatened scarcity of fractional-currency,
comes a paragraph from Macaulay’s diary in
Rome, where he speaks of drawing one hun-
died pounds Worth of coin from Torloria’s
bank, and lugging it through the streets in a
large canvas bag, muttering, with strong feel-
ln'g, Pope’s “Blessed Paper Credit." The
truth is gradually dawning on legislators,-that
both paper and specie are necessary for con-
venience in business. Those who do not
think so are waiting for the return of the
good old days when bank officers had to sit
up nights to count their coin. and ‘trowscrs
pockets . bulged. ungracefully with money
enough to go on a day’s sporting.

I spoke above of women who might be
classed as dead beats, but there are too
many worthy ones who deserve both sympa-
thy aud encouragement, to allow sport on the
. subject. The other dayalady went to the
ofiice of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children to get the particulars of a‘
case for the newspapers. While she was
there, a gentleman came in to haud'Mr. Bergli
a check for $200 in aid of the Society. * Mr.
Bergll said that,with the utmost thankfulncss
for hisI generosity, he, personally, must prep-
test against receiving it, as the gentleman
just proportion. The donor refused any dep-
rccation of his gift, saying he had neither wife.
child or relation in any way depending on
him, and it was more pleasure for him to give
than to withold, for _“ if I tooklt back." he
. said, “I should not know what to .do with
it." What sort of sickness went through the
women’s heart who heard the words? She
was trying for dear life to make a living f0
three children by writing, as ‘ she could get
employment here and there, but through the
winter they had sdlfercd from want of "food
and fire. They had been well to do till the
hard times came, when their pretty home was
swept away, and she was thrown upon here
own exertions. She‘wasflwell. dressed from
the remains of .hcr wardrobe, and had no
complaints to -make, but any mother can
guess how bitterly and louglugdy» she listened
to‘ this rich manOspeaking' of money with
which he did not know what to do, while she
stood by in her sore want, forbidden to make
One sign for the help which would have been

right souls who Only asked to be allowed a
chance to earn a living. There ‘ is work
enough the world wOuld be better for having
done if anyone had the wisdom and the heart
to find it out, and bring it in reach of the
willing worker. In hopes that this mention
may bring the tWO together, I speak of one'
case that lately came to my knowledge. A
young Swedish pianist, who graduated from
the conservatory. at Stockholm, after six years
study, with high honors, and came to this
country to teach music; but coming without
knowledgc‘of the language, and without in-
fluential friends, has been unable to make
more than the barest living. _ She is a very
brilliant and finished performer, as'I Can say
from acquaintance, and I can but hope ; that
her wish to find some place where her musi-
cal services would secure her a home in any
part of the country may be realized.

AUNT J ANE’S LESSON.
Once there was a little boy who lived with
his Aunt Jane; .
He was as dull as. could be, as '1 _ will ~goon
make plain.‘ ‘
Auut' Jane was good and loving and very
kind and mild; .
But aunts cannot, like mothers, understand it
child.
And one of Aunt Jane’s rules was a rule no
mother could
Have made, I think; at any rate, a. rule _ no
' mother should. . .
Each child must eat at every meal whatever
food was set . .
Before him, and until he had, no other food
he'd get.
Now, Gerald's brothers, hearty boys, did not
so greatly mind, '
So long as they had'plenty, they didn’t'care
about the kind. .
But Gerald was particular, and had dislikes
so strong, , ‘ ,
He’d wait till he was almost starved—some-
times a whole day long——
Before he’d touch a fish-ball or a pudding
made of rice,
Or corn-beef hash, whichall the rest declared
was nice. -
Aunt Jane gave one good reason, which they
sooften heard _
They knew it like a story or'proverb, word
. for word :
.“ Children should always learn to eat while
they are very young, ,
Each sort of food, for they some: day may
find themselves among
People where they can Only get one kind of
food to eat, '
And if they cannot swallow that will die for
want Of meat.” 4
As I have told you, Gerald was as droll as he
could be ; _
And when my story's done I thinkthat you'll
agree with me. ’
One day at dinner, when the rest, each child
' in his Own place,
most sober face,
Satstately at the table’s head, small Gerald
came in late,
Walking with countenance denim "and at}he
slowest gait, .
And bearing iu.his chubby hands splatter
. covered tight,
The children shouted loudly in wonder at the
sight; '
And old black Sam, the waiter, had to run
'out of the door,
He laughed so. But the more they laughed
small Gerald grew the more ‘
Demure and grave, with no change of muscle
in his face, ' .
_ He walked straight to Aunt Jane and set the
platter in its place;
Then lifted off the cover, and there, all nicely
brown,
There lay a little roasted mouse, most care-
fully split down
The breast, as cooks split chickens, and with
its little tail, '
All stiff and straight and standing up, like
mast to carry sail. .
Aunt Jane~wss so astounded» she could not
speak a word, .
And the children roared so loudly that noth-
' ing could be heard; ,

As grave as any preacher, with his sober,

He says he can’t remember what it was that
Aunt ,Jane said, ' '
In answer to this speech of his, I think that
she turned red, '
And had the sense to see that there wasnoth-

schoolUnicu,in South Carolina, finds, by
experience, that the best way to promote the
object of Home Missions, to secure the right
observance of the Sabbath, and to lay the
foundations of churches in new, or partly
settled and destitute places, is to plant Union
Sundayschools. These gather together the
scattered elements of Christian strength, and
combine and compact them in a, common
work for Christ. .
As a recent illustration he ofiers this case :
“Less than a year ago I found a neigborhood
composed of a few families, Baptists, Metho-
dists, and Presbyterians, too far removed
from the Churches of which they were mem-
bers to take their children to the Sunday—
Schools connected with them, and consequent-
ly those children were growing up in igno-

the parents and children, and organized' them
into a Sunday-school in the woods, under the
protecting trees. Now they meet every
week, as a Sunday-school, and for religious
worship, in a comfortable house erected on
that very spot ; and they are growing and
thiiving."——07mrch Union.

ing the mistake, went on with the ceremony
and began marrying the bridesmaid to the
bridegroom. when the bride served an “in-
junction” on him by exclarming‘ ' that she was
the marrying party. The mistak' e being rem-
edied,.the clergyman made another attempt,
and the performance went smoothly along un-
til it came fer the bridegroom to produce
the ring, which was essential to the
completion of the ceremony. But when that
gentleman felt inhis vest pocket, it wasn't
there; in the other; not there 3‘ in the
trowsers pocket, not there ; and then he felt
to the bottom of the remaining pocket, and
finally exclaimed: “Well, sure, there is a
hole in my pocket, and the ring slipped
down into my boo ." And- the only way to
finish the ceremony was for the bridegroom
to sit down, pull of! his boot, take out the
ring, pull on his boot, and put the ring where
it ought to have gone, and walk out with
his bride, all' of which he did-Nam -
