There is a something in the little daughter’s whisper above -all human philosophy -. We were crowded in the cabin • N-t n soul would dare to sleep: It was midnight on the wat-rs, And a storm waa on tbe deep. Tis a fearful thing in winter To be shattered by theblnat. And to '.tear the rattling trumpet fit under, “Cut away the mast!” So we shuddered, there in silence— For tbe stoutest held hie breath— While the hungry ava was tearing. And the bfcakei* talked with death. As thus we sat in darkness. Each one busy with his prayers, ** We are bet!" thr captain shouted. As he staggered do wn Lite stairs. But his little daughter whispered, As she took hi a clayey hand.

He could now study better. Jed was not at school the.next fore noon. George asked where he lived; none of the hoys knew, none at least that he asked. After school the mas ter told him, and away he scampered to find him. It was in an old block of buildings in another part of the town, which he made a business to search through nnd through when he got there. Presently there was a tap at.one of the basement windows, and George spied Jed’s face atone of the squares. “Hallo,” cried he. Jed came to the door and peeped out,— “Where are you hound, down here he asked. “Looking up you, old fel low,” said George. “Mother is lin ing my trowsers, and I’re got nothing to wear while she is doing it,” said the boy; “I cannot go cut, so you come in.” George went into the little room where the Little’s lived—a poor widow with fonr children, whom the long and severe wintor was pinching to the very extent of their scan ty means.

His Honor kept a demijohn of good old Jamaica :n his private office, for his own comfort and the entertainment of particular friends. The Judge had noticed for some time that on Monday morning his Jamni ca was considerably lighter than he left it on Saturday nights. Anoth er fact had gradually established it self on his mind. Iiis son Sam was missing from the paternal pew in church on Sundays. On Sunday af- teraoon Sam came in and went up stairs rather heavy, when tho Judge hailed him: “Sam, where have you been?’’ • “To Church, sir,” was the prompt reply. “What church, Sara ?’’ “Second Methodist, sir.” “Had a good sermon, Sam ?” “Very powerful, sir; quite stag gered me, sir.” “Ah! I see,” snid tbe Judge, quite powerful, eh, Sam ? The next Sunday the son came home rather earlier than usual, and apparently not so much “under the weather.’’ His father hailed him with: “Well, Sam, been to the Second: Methodist agaiu to-day ?*’ “Yes, sir.’’ ‘•Good sermon, my boy ?” “Fact was, father, that I could’nt get in; chuich shut up, and a ticket on the door." ’“Sorry, Sam, keep going—you may get good by it yet.’’ Sain says on his going to the office for his usual spiritual refreshment, lie fouud the “John” empty, and bearing the following label: “There will be no service here to-day, this schoolmate. “Titanic you, ever so cliarch being closed for repairs.” much for coming,” said Jed ; “it’s good in you.

I wish ’twas always sum mer, George, like the tropics, the ge ography tells about.” “ Poor Jed,” said George to him self, ns he ran home; “Mother,” he cried, as he bounded into the house with his glowing cheeks,. “I want to make up a bundle of my clothes for Jed Little; quick, mother, quick.’’— utate on earth;' and w down before him with an humble spirit and contrite heart, it is all the same, whether you are clad iff purple and fine linen or in rags.— Selma Reporter. The Enjoyment or Exercise. It is commonly understood that ex ercise is what is wanted to restore to health him who is suffering from what is termed “general debility.” Now, it is not so much exercise that is wanted as the exhilarating effect which the enjoyment of exercise pro duces. Take a familiar illustration: An invalid is able to walk a half a mile n day. He goes out on a beautiful ■fnn<» TfflMMTi iltft-yi “T 1 * nature is smiling around him, and comes back enlivened by his communion with her. Supposy instead of this, he has gone out into his back shed, where he had a tread-mill put up for him, under the delusive notion that it is merely walking which he wanted. He takes his half mile on this, and to make the case stronger, with blind folded eyes. He comes back to his room without a tithe of advantage to be derived from the out-door ramble. Indeed, if he be a man of ordinary sensibility, he is worse off than with out his accustomed exercise, for his mind is all disfigured with his tread mill performance. It is, then, the enjoyment of exer cise in which consists the chiefest ex cellence. It is the diversion of -the mind from the ails of the body. The man is by this drawn away from him self. Now, what can better accom plish this object than amusement? Any one who has over witnessed the effect of a good story on a convale scent need hardly be told of its bene fit. Who has not had the headache relieved bv the genial talk of a friend? We have known it cured by twd hours’ lively chit-chat with a good-humored and witty companion. We have even known a moderate fit of indigestion carried off by an im moderate fit of laughter, and a case of constipation to yield to a treatment of side-splitting, button tearing cuchi- nation. We believe, then, most fully, in using all proper mexns of amusement as a means to health, and commend all such of our renders, from the play things of the nursery to “Punch” and “Vanity Fair.” With the poet we emphatically say— "Car*, to onr coffin ailJa a nail, no doubt— Aud.ever}-grin so msrry draws one out." 55*8 sive; but exceedingly uncertain. But his commercial credit depends upon this uncertainty, and he is.often com pelled to fall back upon * nothing, a ruined man. “Ninety-five failures in a hundred, among most business men in the city, tell a sad tale of the perplexities and sorrow, the corroding cares and Anguish of mere mtile life. How can a father, goaded with anxieties, from the beginning to the end of the year, do justice to liis children, even if his business allowed him to be with them a part of the time ? He is not in a frame of.mind to superintend their education and to perform a father’s office. Want Strides In the Nineteenth Century It, iff a world of wonders nobody can deny, we take up the periodical of the day with the expectancy of 1 reading Some new theory o* discovery, as well as seeing news in the abstract. Tbe trans-atlantie electric cable, at the time We write, is fast expanding from its central point in mid-ocean to its two “termici’’ oil land, to link the hemispheres! but at the same time that we justly look upon this as a convincing -proof of the great “march of intellect,” we must not lose si ght of another and no less great palpable evidence of what a giant intellect, single-handed, can accomplish. _ T.

Oh, how we pity then.! It is true “pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before, a fall;” but it ia equally true, ns some sensible writer remarks, that where all self esteem is lost, and sensibility entire ly deadened, the man or woman is bnt one remove from a mere animal. While the simple fact of being poor is no disgrace, yet even where the utmost stoicism exists, there is a bitter sting in the reflection that your humble garb averts the glance of recognition, hushes the voice of greet ing,. and like the fabled head' of Medusa, turns all who look upon it into stone. However much you may strive to emulate the meek and lowly Jesus in humility, fet your heart will rebel, and the red of indignation will mantle your cheek; to See your Farm Lire a School or True Manhood. Tbe men who bare left their mark upon the ages in which they have lived, have done a great and noble work for the race, have been, with a few exceptions, men of noble physi cal mould. The foundation of their greatness and of their Tame was laid in the patient training of their phy sical powers. Such a man was Wash ington, and most of the worthies who were associated with him in the struggle for our liberties. Such were Clay and Webster, and many of their cotemporaries in our national Sen ate. Their early days were spent on the farm, and the thoughts of their declining years were given to the im provement, and the cultivation, and the embellishment of their respective homesteads.

No occupation can be more favorable to the cultivation of those B i ties which are the charm of the estic circle. The farmer is m»ch more at home than is possible with any other men. How many are there in. our cities who only see their families at evening, or on Sunday ? They live for their business, and this, from its location,v^tak**- them from home early and late. How many, from the same cause, forsake house keeping and huddle into boarding houses and hotels, where the charm and beauty of the family, aa God in- Stitated it, is entirely lost, and chil dren fall under a thousand unfriendly influences that would never touch- them at home!

Romance of a Hotel—A Dneal Landlord. In one of the hack quiet streets in Hoboken is a small wooden hotel called the “Hotel Napoleon.” It is under the control of a foreigner, aud is kept up in French stylo.

But above all this, at the head of the hotel is a Duke—a live Duke.— His pedigree is unquestionable. For political reasons, he was compelled to flee from his home and his estate near Naples.
