I‘m thinking of the schoolhouse, Ned.
“ Where we not side by side,"
And studied Webster's spelling-book,
And laughed o'er Gilpin‘e ride;
And tended jack-hives new and than.
WM n not engaged in play,
And got our locket: nicely warmed-
How often I'll not lay.
I‘m thinking of the roadside green.
01‘ every tree and nook—
And how in sultry hours of noon
We swam in Pantry hook;
And when upon the easement cum:
The mler'o tnttoo loud,
How eech of no. in pacing lo,
Took 08' his hat Ind bowed.
I‘m thinking of the benches, rude,
And desks, so brood and steep,
On which we left our notogrsphc
In letters wide and deep;
And where our lint. new writing-book.
So free from stein And 0pm.,
We soon ndorned. on every page,
With many an off-hand blot.
I‘m thinking of the “ uld slough," Ned.
And its water: dark null cool,
In which we bodied our Inn-burnt feel
While on the wny to school;
And where the youthful “poles lay,
in spring-tine. may I were,
And golden-linen richly bloomed:
In summer, our the shore.
I‘m thinking at the (can. cool.
Where In and coder: grew.
And where our fect in Images sank
As we hunted gun to chew;
And of the plenum neudows where.

W TWO Unfortunates.
It was pant midnight. The lanterns on
Blackfriur‘a bridge shone dimly on the few
pedestrians who were still out of doors at
this unvcnbonuble time. A young man was‘
coming hurriedly from the city, while from
the opposite side an old man was stealing
slowly along. They had not yet met, when
the latter turned, and walking to the para-
pet of the bridge, made unmistakeable prep-
arations to precipitate himself into the
Thames. The young man who had followed
him drew him back.
“ I think, sir, ycu wish to drown your-
self ?"
“ You think right, sir; but what business
is that of yours?”
“None in the least, sir; but I only wished
to ask of you the favor to postpone your
purpose a few moments. and allow me the
favor to join you. Let us embrace each oth-
er cloMy, and make the airy trip together.
The idea of undertaking this' expedition in
the company of a stranger, who hnsoome
here for the some pummel: myself, uphea-
edsopiqunntthat I could nothelpukin;
you to .nllow me to join you. Rcdly, sir,
nothing has seemed so delightful to me for
I long time; and 1mm have be
lined maritime-emu"
hoppcned tome inlay dyinghoor. ’ Douc-
l
“ Hold, sir," said he, while he trkd to dis-
tinguish the features of the young man op-
posite to him, by the dim, midnight light,
“ you are still very young, and alreadyrwlsh
to renounce life. I am afraid you are too
rash. For a man of your age life must still
have joys and pleasures."
" Nothing but deceit and falsehood, selfish-
ness and deceit, vice and crime. Come, [let
us end this."
“ Young as you are, you seem to have al-
ready had sad experiences, and appear to re-
gard all creatures bearing- the form of man
as vipers.
“ Vipers are noble twinge compared with
men, for they only follow their natural in-
stincts; they are not hypocrites, with wit--
the on their tongues and vice in their
heartn"
“I pity you. sir; believe me, there are
many honorable exceptions to the rule which
you have etnblhhed."
“ Ha,ha! Exceptions!” laughed the young
man sneeringly and bitterly. “ I have found
none."
“ Then I can give you at least the poor
consolation that in thisl solemn hour you
have found one. Much as men are given to
lying, there are very few who will do so in
their dying hour, when they are about to en-
ter the niystct'ious eternity. I have never
lied during my life, and Would under no
circumstances enter the valley of death
with a lie upon my lips. I am no villain, as
you appmr to think, but a good and honest
man.“
“ lit-ally l 'i‘hutgia interesting. I must have,
therefore, Incl-the only honest man whom I
have cver seen, just in lime to bid, in his
company, ‘ ”71¢" to the world."
“ Let mc go alone, and you mmnin. There
Mist many more just no good and honest
men. who can beautify ynurlifc. 1f youwill
only sock. you are bound to meet them."
“ Well, at any rate, I have found one.
But if life presents itself to you in such 2:
paradise-like view, why doyou wish to lawn
it like me?"
“ Because I am poor and old, and at the
game time a sick and feeble man who can-
not earn anything, nnd who cannot betray
longer to see his only child, an angel in a.
daughter, mil almost to death day and night
to support a miserable and useless person—-
yes, even to procure some little pleasures.
No. air, 1 would be u bmte—a barbarian.
were I to exact it any longer."
“ What. sir," cried the other, “ you have a
daughter who sacrifices herself for you?"
" ()b, with what patience and gentlcntfl,
with what perseverance and love she does it.
I are llt‘l' {mic a“ n) under her work and dc-
privntion, and yet nucnmplninl m-t-r escaped
llt'l' lips Slu- works and nerves, and has al-
ways a living Word—u cheering smile for

"Can I allow that angel tn kill herself by
degrees? That is what lscerales my heart,"
wept :mtl subbed the old gentleman.
“ Sinyou must drink a bollleuf wlnc \\ ilb
me at the restaurant there, and relate to me
your Jory. If you like, I will return the
compliment, and tell you mine. Belorehnnd.
however, I will say that you need not jump
down there, for I am rich, 8 very rich man,
and it your story proves true, there will be
nv nccd of your daughter working any more,
nor will cithcr of you have to suffer hunger."
“ My story is soon told," commenced the
rider of Mir two, in a firm tone. " I am a
merchant, but fortune bus not smiled upon
“11‘; lhati no money of my own. and had
married a poor but lovely girl. For these
reasons I was never able to establish myself
on my own footing, but was obliged toserve
in other mercantile houses as clerk or book-
kct-pcr, until they could make no further use
of m3, or rather would not do w, and pre-
fcrrml ”to services of younger uxcn lo mine.
But if my means were limited, my happiness
at home was not. My wife was an angel of
goodness. luv-3 and gentleness, pioun and
true, industrious and intelligent, and shelled
educated her daughter to be like her. But
sit‘kntws and age have reduced me to abject
poverty, and my conscience will not permit
that the best of children shall continue to
sacrifice herself for mc. It is not possible

nud God will surely pardon me when I de—
. prive myself of a few dozen days or weeks
to save thereby the health and life of my
' Lena."
“ Old man, you are a happy being.” cried
the youngvr one. “ 1 have never met a hap-
pier one. What you call misfortune is noth-
ing but u more bngatellc. That is now and
forever done away with. I will make my
will tomorrow, in which I shall constitute
you my heir, and will postpone for a day
my leap in the Thames. But first, I wish to
make the acquaintance of your Lena, that I
may behold a person before my death who
really deserves to be called a human being.”
“ But, sir, you are stil‘ so young and yet so
unhappy, what is the cause of it ?“ cried the
old man in a pitiful voitx.
“ I think the money of my father. i am
the only son of one of the wealthiest bankers
of London. and, like you, out also a mer-
chant. If I tell you my name, which you
have no doubt often heard, it will convince
you that I am telling the truth. My father
died five years ago, and I inherited his colon

A Stage Coach Adventure.
Once upon a time a traveler stepped into
astage coach. Hf‘ was a young man, just
starting in life. He found six passengers
about him, all grey-headed and extremely
aged men. The youngest appeared to have
seen at least eighty winters. Our young
traveler, struck n ith the singularly mild
and happy aspect which distinguished all
his fellow passengers, determined t J ascer-
tain the secret of a long life and the art of
linking old age comfortable. He addressed
the one who was apparently the eldest, who
told him he had always led a regular and
abstcmions life. mixing vegetables and drink
ing water.
The young man we: rather damned at
this, inasmuch as he had a liking for the
good things of this life. He addressed the
second, u ho astounded him by saying he
had always eaten roast beef,and gone to bed
gloriously foddled for the lust. seventy years,
adding that. “ all depends on regularity."
The third Md prolonged hisdayn by never
beekiIIgOt'a-coepling office; the fourth by
resolutely abstaining from all politieul or
religious umtmvu-sien, and the fifth by get-
ting mhedm outset and rising at dawn.
The sixth was apparently much younger
than the other five—his heir was less grey,
and there we: more of it—a placid smile, de-
noting it perfectly easy conscience, mantied
his few, and his voice was jocund and
strong.
They are all surprised to learn that he is
by ten years the oldest men in the coach.
“ How,” exclaimed our young traveler, “is
it you have thus preserved the freshness of
life 1’" '
“ I have drank water and drank wine; I
have eaten meats and vegetables; I have
held a public office; I have sometimes gone
lobed at midnight and at noon; Ihavedntr
bled in politics and written for reli gious
papers, but [always pn‘d mypriuter‘s bills."

()0th by Scripture.
The late Elder John Smith, of Kentucky,
who died recently at an advanced age, was
one of the most eccentric wits south of the
Ohio river, and a true gentleman. He was
familiarly known throughout Kentucky and
the West, by the aobriguzt of “ Racoon
Smith." While still in the Baptist ministry
and attending one of the annual meetings of
the body, a. tall, lank, green specimen of hm
manity presented himself before the Amoci'
utiou as a candidate for the ministry. He
was not regarded as being of entirely sound
mind, and labored under the hallucination
that he was especially “called to preach,"
and kept constantly importuning the Associ-
ation to grant him the necessary license. In
addition to his partinliy unbnlnnwd mind,
young Weeks was the possessor of as huge
and ungainly a palrof feet as ever trod shoe-
leather- mmmmms. and not
being disposed to grant the licence, them
elation handed him over to Smith, With In-
structions to make an end of the clue, and
between them took place the following con-
vefsation :-—

you have nopecial call to prench 2"
Ween—“Yes, the Lord has called me to
the work, but. the Association refm the II-

Weeks—“Know it? I feel it in my heart
of hearts. I want my license."
Smith—“Do you believe the Bible, Brother
Weeks—“Certainly I do, every word of
it”, ,
