For Our Sick Pastor.
Rest him, 0 Father! Thou didst send him
forth
\Yilh great and gracious messages of love ;
" 13511111115 ambassador is weary now.
VVCTn with the weight. of his high embassy,
Now care for him as Thou has cared for us
In sending him, and cause him to lie down
In thy fresh pastures, by Thy streams of
peace.
Let thy left hand he now beneath his head,
And Thin-i- upholding right encircle him,
And, underneath, the Everlasting arms
‘ Be felt in full support. So let him rest,
Ilushed like a little child, without one care;
And so give The beloved sleep to night.
Rest. him, dear Master ! lie bath poured for us
The wine of joy, and wehave been refreshed.
Now fills 711's chalice, give him sweeter new
draugbts
’ Oflit'e and love, with Thine own hand ; be
’l'hou
liis ministrant to-night; draw very near
.111 all Thy tenderness and all The power.
0 speak to him ! Thou knt-wcrt how to
speak '
A word in season to Thy weary ones,
And be is weary now. Thou lovcst him :
Let Thy disciple lean upon Thy breast.
And, leaning, gain new strength to “rise and
shine.”
Rest him, 0 loving Spirit! Let Thy calm
Fall on his soul to night. 0 holy Dove,
Spread Thy bright wing above him, let him
' rest '
Beneath its shadows; let him know afresh
The infinete truth and might of Thy dear
Name—7
“Our Comforter!" 'As gmtlest touch will
stay 7
The strong vibrations ofa jarring chord,
Zach overstraiuing throb, each pulsing pain.
Then in the stillness, breathe upon the strings,
And let Thy holy music overflow '
With soothing power his listening, resting

Drxru or MAKEPEACE anxcxawav.
Died in_ Pemigcwassct on the evening of
”Tuesday the 26th ult, after a distressing
illness of a few hours duration. Makepeace
Thwackaway, in the flower of his age. Fun-
eral at his late residence, down town, on
Sunday March 3d at 1 o'clock, sharp. Re-
mains will be taken to Redding Ridgk for
interment in accordance with the last wishes
of the deceased. -
‘ ‘None knew him but to lovebim,
None named him but to praise."
011111311111”. - _
A general gloom has been cast over the
community of Pcrrigewasset by the untime-
ly demise of a most estimable young man,
Makepeace Thwackaway, Esq. He left his
home f or the Post Office on Tuesday morning,
apparently in good health and spirits, but re-
turned in a state of high fever. The fever
lasted throughout the day, and toward night-
all a'iow muttering delirium set in. His
ravings seemed to have some connection with
late articles in the GAZET’I‘E, as the words—
“my little circle"; “taking board on Redding
Ridge-'1; “next summer”; “sackcloth“; “how
unbecoming” ; “cruel misunderstanding";
"well meant efforts"; “vain bopes”—could at
.times be clearly distinguished by his grief-
stricken friends, while ever and anon the
name of Cynthy was pronounced in tones of
heartfelt anguish. This delirium was of
brief duration, however, and was succeeded
by a state of coma from which he roused him-
sell’ only to die. At. half—past. :eleven P. 11.,
the eyes of the gifted, the aimabie, the loved
the unfortunate, the ever to be lamented but
cruelly misunderstood Makepeacc Thwacka—
way were closed forever. -
It is to be hoped that no reflections will be
cast upon Cynthy’s conduct in- this matter;
An unconscious instrument of fate, she did
not know what sorrow her last article was
doomed to bring to Pcmigewasset, nor what
despair to the young ladies of that village by
causing the premature death of this most cli-
gible young man. It is hoped, therefore, that
she will not allow herself to feel his untimely
death too much. His last words were “Cyn-
thy ' forgive—J \thther he meant
to be understood as praying forgiveness from
her, or, as; seemed more probable, was bestow-
ing his forgiveness upon her, cannot now be
decided, but the expression proves that" his
last thoughts toward her were thoughts of
good and not of evil.
A few words in reference to the character
of this too susceptible young man. Sensitive
to a fault, warm-hearted, cbivairic, there was
in him too great a tendency to lean on the
opinions . of others, particularly on those of
his feminine friends. Coldness from them
cut him to the quick; “Harsh words were
blows” to him, and the thought that he
night unconsciously have wounded one of
that adorednnd adorable sex, and compelled
her who was fond of pretty dresses to ap
pear in sackcloth, with ashes, it may be, do-
ing duty as powder, was DEA'I‘II. Had it not
been for his dominating desire to improve
the village of Pemigewasset, bad it not been
for that—and Cynthy—lie might now be
alive to adorn the little circle of which he
raved so piteously in his last moments. Low
lying in the church yard of Redding Ridge,
where the long weeds shall wave above his
head, and where, perchance, Cynthy may
sometimes stroll at evening, as he would have
wished, nay, may even bestow an occasional
thought upon the sad fate of one who worked
not Wisely but too much for the village of
Penrigewassct, and whose
“Blind, that very fiery particle
Ilad let itself be snuffed outvby her article.”
Poor fellow ! his was an untoward fate.-
Appendcd is a purely original poem by an
ardent female admirer of the gifted Thwack'
away. Its blended simplicity and pathos
combined with the valuable information it
affords to Students of Natural History ren-
der it a truly admirable production.
W'herc Thwackawny low-lieth
The raven lonely sings
And there the batiet'ciings.
()‘er tread the sad crow flieth,
Black-robed funeral.
When night drops her sable pail
O'er lofty ridge and lowly vale;
\Vheu eats take up their nightly wail,
When one to another calleth
And that otirer’s face then mallcth ;
From the church-spire, slim and tall.
This lone spot the owlet spieth,
Thither,’ too, she quickly bieth,
And where, by day, the ballet slicketh.
At night the owl on him pic-niceth
And every bone of him clean picketh.
Then in melancholy tone
For Thwackaway she makcth moan,
While the willow mournful sigheth
O’cr the spot where Thwack low-lietlr.
At noon old Sol bright-pe’epeth,
Through mists and shadows gray.
But Thwackaway deep sleepeth,
Knowctirnot'tbe approach of day.
At morn the rooster croweth,
At morn the tin born bioweth,
At morn each bovine lowetb,
As she to pasture goeth
From out the yard hard by.
All this poor Thwack not knoweth,
On facts no thought hestoweth
Where he dotir lowly lie.
At eve the owlet hootetb,
(He hootetb not by day.)
At eve the small boy scooteth
Along the lone high way.
At eve, (when e’re it sniteth)
Pale Cynthy passeth too.
At night the toad then hoppeth
And by that spot he stoppeth,
A bright, round tear he droppeth,
_ , O’er him whom Cynthy slew
No more the spider skippeth
Upon the darksorne stream
' ries save clothes,
No more the waves he g1 ippcth,
No more ire backward slippcth,
As in tiratrawful dream.
No night mare c’er moiesteth
Where Thwackaway low resteth.

Historical Reminisccnccs.
HARTFORD, Feb. 261b, 1878.
Two historical events have conspired to
render Hartford memorable. .
The one occurred November 101b, 1687—
thc other November 15111, 1814. Soon after
Sir Edmond Andross was appointed Govern-
or of New England,—-wl1ich was in 1686—11
most exciting scene took place in Hartford,
threatening the peace and liberty of the lit-
_ tic Colony. This tyrannical Governor, in
company with sixty. men to aid him in his
project, arrived in Hartford, Nov.1_01h, 1687,
and demanded of the Assembly, then in ses-
sion, the surrender of their Charter; declar-
ing the Colonial Government'dissolved. Tire
other New Eng-hind provinces, except Con-
necticut, had surrendered theirs. The de-
bates on this question were protratctcd till
evening, when the Charter was brought in
and laid upon the table; and just as the
Usurper was going to lay hold of it, the
lights were put out, and Captain \Vadsworth,
an ofliecref the Colony, seized the precious
document and concealed it in the hollow
trunk of an oak tree standing near the State
House. When the lights were restored, the
Charter had disappeared, and Andreas falling
to obtain possession thereof, left in a rage.
The old oak was ever after regarded with
veneratiou—proteeted and watched over with
great care for a period of one hundred and
fifty years or more. Since its downfall it is
still commemorated by various mementos.
The large and magnificent arm chair (a splen-
did specimen of art) now occupied by his
Honor, the President of the Senate, is espec-
ially worthy of notice. Said chair was manu-
facturcd at a cost of five hundred dollars.
Here was held that frightful “Hartford
Conven:ion," originated in treasonable de-
signs on the part of its members, as the dem-
ocrats charged the Federalist, (every member
which was a Federalist) but since proved by
history to be false. There were twentysix
members from different New England States
comprising this body,—all able men of expe-
rience,many of whom were legislators, judges
and senators. They were all appointed “for
the purpose of devising and recommending
such measures for the safety and welfare of
these States, as may be consistent with our
obligations as members of the National
Union.” Among the members from Cou-
nectieut were Roger M. Sherman, Nathaniel
Smith, and James Hillhouse, all distinguish.
ed lawyers. I quote the following arousing
anecdote from Goodrich’s History.
“Hiilhousc possessed an iron frame, and
his industry and devotion to his duties knew
no bounds. He usually slept but four or
five hours in twenty-four. Ilis personal ap-
pearance was remarkable. lie was over six
feet high, of a large, bony frame, his com-
plexion was swarthy and his eye black and
keen. He was thought to have something of
the Indian in his physiognemy and his walk,
and he humorously favored this idea. He
was once challenged by a Southerner for
something uttered in debate in the Senate.
lIe accepted the challenge but added that as
the choice of weapons fell to him be selected
tomahawks! Ile was full of wit,and it is said
that one day, as he was standing on the steps
of the Capitol with John Randolph, a drove
of asses chanced to be going by—thcsc anni-
imals being .then raised in Connecticut for
the South—“There are some of your constitu-
ents,” said Randolph. “Yes," said IIillhousc,
“they are going to be scheolmasters in Vir-
gini’n.” ,
This famous Convention was held in the
room now occupied as the Senate Chamber.
‘an day, while 11011. II. R. Hinman was
Secretary of State, a man from the South, I
believe from South Carolina, who had doubt-
less been reading Ingcrsoll’s History, came
into the office of the Secretary and desired to
be shown the place where the Hartford Con-
vention sat. Mr. llinman accordingly took
him into the room. The stranger looked
around with much curiosity, and presently
he saw Stuart's likeness of Washington—for
in this chamber is one of the most celebrated
of the full length portraits of the Father of
his Country. '
The stranger started. “And was this pic-
ture here when the Convention held its sit?
tings?” said be.
"Yes, certainly,” said the Secretary.
“Well," replied the man, - observing the
high color which Stuart lrad given to the
countenance of \Vashington, in the picture,
“I’Vcll, I'll be (1—11 if he‘s got the blush off
yet 1” ' .
This is a sharp joke; but yet, it is natural
to ask—if Washington‘s picture should blush
for the Hartford Convention—which above
all things advocated the preservation of the
Union—what should it have done in the
presence of that Convention in South Caroli-
na in November, 1832, which resulted in an
open and avowed opposition to the Union,
and thus laying the first foundations for the
doctrines of secession. S.

From an Irish Servant Girl.
Masses Enr'1‘orrs:—-Allow1ne through the
columns of your invaluable paper to address
the author of a comment on the “Irish Ser-
vant Hit-l3] which appeared in the GAZETTE
of January the 29th, but evaded my observa-
tion until recently, when I accideutiy picked
it up among some waste paper. I shall con-
sider myself addressing a female as the signa-
ture was in the feminine gender. As I sit
down to write, I can look across the broad
Atlantic and there behold the place of my
nativity on the verdant bosom of that little
sea girt Isle, having lived there exactly the
fifth of a century. I then directed my course
towards this western hemisphere, where I’ve
lived these three years and nine months in
the capacity of servant; therefore I think
myself amply justified in saying a few words
in defence of the “Irish servant girl," whom
Jenny June makes the “motto" to hurdle her
unqualified, opprobrious and satirical diction
at. Stating or rather portraying her home in
one's family, for years supplying all necessa—
which she gets of the
warmest; also instructing her ignorance, she
being the only one now—a days that has money
plenty at hand. ller employer suggests re-
trenching her wages ,a couple of dollars in
the month, and notwithstanding all the past
favors, she places her arms “akimbo,” sticks
11p for her rights, leaves the family, caring
nothing for the inconvenience a prompt de-
parture causes. Now most probably Jenny
June is a person whose literary acquirements
is confined within very narrow limits and
consequently incapable of instructing the
“Irish servant girl,” save in the science of
drudgery; using reproofs and epithets en-
tirely too commonplace for refinement; turn-
ing from her kitchen she puts on the mask
of “quality,” receives her lady visitors, en.
tertains them with exhilarating joy, using as
many hyper-boils and and exaggerations in
fifteen minutes conversation as would be too
many to find in volumes of romantic matter,
iler admirers go home to their families and
describe her as an intelligent, bright and love-
ly character. If Divine Providence had re-
duced Jenny June to such an extremity
that she would have to seek a distant land
to earn herself a livelihood, she might be
just as wreen as the Irish girl. But no, in-
decd,l1er hands were not made to work ; she
would take a dose of arsenic to rid herself of
a miserable existence rather than submit to
such modification. But the Irish girl does
not do that; she remembers that beautiful
maxim, “Man is born to labor," without this
there can be no true piety nor virtue. There
are exceptions in all classes and communities,
and undoubtedly the Irish pcopichave faults,
and what people have not. Now as to the
Irish servant girl‘s wardrobe and money mat-
ters I decline to give any explanation, as it is
an exaggeration and perfectly absurd. By
experience, during my sojourn here, I see
the Irish are made the subject of opprobnum
chiefly on account of their religion. “the
Irish sold their birthright for a “mess of pot-
tage," there need not as many seek other
’climcs _ for the means of subsistence, but the
Irish loved too well that faith which was-
plantcd on their shores one thousand, four
hundred and forty-five or six years ago by
that glorious and immortal St.-Patrlck; They:
preferred death, starvation and exile in other .
lands, and withstood the persecution and. re-
morseless tyranny which England was pleased
to inflict upon them. She imprisoned their
best men, slaughtered their priests, demolish-
ed religious houses, and spread desolation
men-like manner in which she treated Ireland
is unparalleled in history, and shall forev-
er remain as a stain upon her brow. The
Irish will adhere to their religion until this,
terrestrial orb shall cease to revolve upon its
axis, and the hand of- that Almighty Being
who first created it shall destroy and disperse
it throughout the endless and mysterious-
space which surrounds it. Now that I havg ,
shown Jenny June the real cause of the Irish;
girl‘s ignorance, I trust in future she wilk
choose her servant out of some other nation-
ality, and leave the Irish girl to be employed
and instructed by her more qualified, ccm-
men-sensed and considerate neighbors.
BRIDGET.
Then flourish forever my dear native Erin,
Whrlosadly I wander an exile from thee;
And firm as thy mountains no injury l'caring’
May Ileavcn defend its own ma chrcc.

“Some Time is Pretty soon.”
‘915 there a pocket in this apron ?" Birdie
most always asks when I dress her in a fresh
one ; and her countenance lights up with
pleaSure and her eyes sparkle with joy when
there is, and she can have a “hang-er-chief”
of her f‘very own."
“Oh, ,no pocket !” she says doiorously
when she misses one, and runs her hand down
her side in a disappointed way, while it
grieves my heart. to have her wishing for so
small a thing, that would not harm her in
the least, or coat more then a. slight effort on
my part to obtain for her.
The other day she came to me, asking,
“Marnma, won’t you make a pocket for Bir-
die‘s apron ?”
“Yes, some time,” I answorcd.
“Mamma, some time is now.”
I looked around on my many cares, and
just then baby was a calling loudly for me.
Now was among the impossibilities, so I
answered, “I cannot now; but just as soon
as I can I will."
“Well, then, mamma, sometime is pretty
soon," said she, brightening up. Today. I
made a new apron and put on it the promis-
ed pocket. She tried it on, and running her
hand down into its depths, exclaimed delight:
edly. “Oh.mamma, Sometimes has come i"
Parentsshould gratify as far as possible their
children‘s harmless wants, although they
seem so very trifling to us, for often their
little hearts are as full of grief over childish
troubles as grown-up people's are over their
own. Surely a bright childhood is as health-
ful for them as a sunny day is to the world.
If ever we reach the Shining Portals and look
back on the devious pathway trodden here, I
think we» shall find that runny of our deires
and aims in life were as 'smali in the Father’s
eyes, and perhaps not as worthy, as Birdie’s
longing for a pocket.

Boys‘ nghls.
I wonder now if any one
In this broad land has heard,
In favor of down-trodden boys
A solitary word?
We hear enough of “Woman’s Rights,"
And “Rights of Working llen,"
Of “equal rights,” and “Nation’s rights,"
But pray just tell us when
Boys' rights were ever spoken of ?
Why we’ve become so used
To being snubbed by every one.
And slighted and abused,
That when one is polite to us,
We open wide our eyes,
And stretch them in astonishment
To nearly twice their size!
Boys seldom dare to ask their friends
To venture in the house;
It don't come natural at: all
To creep inlike a mouse,
And if we should forget ourselves
And make a little noise,
Then ma or auntie sure weald say,
“Oh, my! those dreadful boys."
The girls bang on the piano,
In peace, but if the boys
Attempt a tune with fife and drum,
It’s “Stop that horrid noise !”
“That Horrid noise 1” just think of it ;
ercu sister never fails
. To make a noise three times as bad
With everlasting “scales.”
Insriited thus, we lose no time
In beating a retreat ;
So off we go to romp and tear,
And scamper in the street.
No wonder that so many boys
Such wicked men become;
’Twere better far to kl them have
OPERA and FIELD GLASSES ‘
Their games and play: at home.
Perhaps that text the teacher quotes
Sometimes—“Train up a child"
Means only train the little girls,
And let the boys run wild.
But patience, and the time shall come
When we will all be men,
And when it does, I rather think
Wrongs will be lighted then.
The Early Bird Catches the
Worm.
Poor foolish worm ! if he had lain
Snug in his earthly bed,
' That early fowl had never made
A breakfast of his head.
At noon, no doubt, the bird had sought
, Some distant forest bough;
And if the worm had slept till then,
He might have lived till now.
Take warning, early risers, all,
And heed the lesson taught;
The worm that lies in bed is safe—-
The early worm is caught.
Let Bygones be Bygones.
Let bygones be bygones; if bygoncs were
clouded
By aught that occasioned a pang of regret,
Oh, let them in darkest oblivionbe shrouded;
’Tis wise and ’tis kind to forgive and forget.
Let bygones be bygon’es,and good be extracted
From ill over which it is folly to fret ;
The wisest of mortals have foolishly acted—
The kindest are those who forgive and for-
get.
Let bygones be bygones ; 0h,cherisb no longer
The thought that the sun of affection hasset;
Eclipsed for a moment,its rays will be stronger,
If you, like a Christian forgive and forget.
Let bygones be bygones; your heart will be
lighter,
When kindness of yours with reception has
met; '
The flame of your love will be purer and
brighter ‘
1f, Godlike,you strive to forgive and forget.
et bygones he bygones; oh, purge out the
leaveu '
Of malice and try an example to set
To others, who, craving the mercy of heaven,
Are sadly too slow to forgive and forget.
Let bygone: be bygones; remember how
deeply
To heaven’s forbearance we all are in debt;
They value God’s infinite goodness too cheaply
Who heed not the precept, “Forgive and
forget." —0]zamb¢r’3 Journal.
Lures 11: AN Amuse—Could any thing be
more deftly done than the following, written
in November last. in the album of a lady who
has the felicity of having for her husband one
of the brightest writers of poetry and prose
in the country—a man of the very prime
facz'est class? Its author is a writer of “lead-
ers" on one of the leading New York journals:
In calm and trustful confidence the mission-
ary sat,
While the energetic sexton was a-passing
round the hat. ’
The services were over, and now had come
_ the pause
To grve an opportunity to help along the cause
But varnly went the sexton teetering up and
down the aisle—

Then smiling on the audience, he returned it
to the rack,
With the words, “I'm very thankful that I've

You’ll doubtless say, as o'er this page you
give an anxious look, '
“At least he has done better than return 111:

Then I think I hear the Colonel this doggerei

And say, “Like Silas Wegg, my dear, he's
done a little worse.”

A Dead-Beat Beaten.
A Detroit saloon-keeper has suffered. much
pecuniary loss at the hands of deadobeats,
and has ransacked his brain for a remedy. It
does not pay to knock a man down because
he has no money, and harsh words collect a
crowd and give a place a hard name. The
other day the- saloonist got the idea ballad
been struggling after. He rigged up a wire,
a mouth piece and other parts of a telephone,
and was ready for the first case. It came
along yesterday morning. A well-dressed
and decent-looking man called for brandy,
swallowed it, and softly said:
“I’ll call around and settle as soon as I get
a check cashed.”
“All right, all right,” smiled the saloonist,
and he stepped back to the mouth-piece and
called out:
“Chief of police, are you in i"
The beat halted to hear what was going on
and the saloonist continued :
“ All right. I want to give you a descrip-
tion of a suspicious-looking character—just
gone out of my saloon. Are you ready f”
There was an interval of two or three
seconds, and the saloouist went on:
“About five feet eight—light hair—blue
eyes-goatee—brown overcoat—blue "
“Say, you,” exclaimed the beat, “here's
your fifteen cents for that brandy l ,I had
some change in my vest pocket."
"Oh—ah—yes,” smiled the saioonist, and
taking the money he went to the mouth-Piece
and called:
“It’s all right—I made a mistake—man is
as good as Wheat 1”
The beat walked out without a word, but.
' as he reached the street he growled:
“ That was a dead give-away on me, an] '
I’d like to punch old Prof. Bell’s head about
half an hour."—Detroit Free Press.
