The pare, the bright, the beautiful, That stirred our hearts in voutb; Tho impulse to a wordless prayer, The dreams of love and truth; The longings after something lost, The spirit’s yearning cry; The strivings after better hopes— These things can never die. The timid hand stretched forth to aid A brother in bis need ; The kindly word in grief's dark honr. That proves the friend indeed ; The plea for mercy, softly breathed, When justice threatens nigh; The sorrow of a contrite heart— These things shall never die. The memory of a clasping band, The pressure of a kiss, And all the trifles sweet and frail, That make up love's flrst bliss ; If with a firm, unchanging faith, And holy trust and high. Those hands have clasped, those lips have met. These things can never die. The cruel and the bitter word, That wounded as it fell; The chilling want of sympathy. We feel, but never tell; The hard repulse, that chills tho heart, Whose hopes were bounding high, In an uufading record kept— These things shall never die. Let nothing pass, for every hand Must find somo work to’do; Loso not a chance to wakeu love Bo firm and just and true; So shall a light that cannot fade Beam on thee from on high. And angel voices say to thee : These tbiDgs can nover die. —All the Year Round. ELLIE’S HERO. BY ANNA SHIELDS. ‘ So ycu will go, Ellie !’ Ellen Morton took up her muff from tho ta ble, and said very quietly : * You know I will go, Thalia. The poor wo man is dying; so don't be anxious if I do not return till morning.’ ‘ I wonder,’ Tbalia answered, sitting erect in her low easy chair, and facing her sister, ‘ what Gordon Randolph would say, if ho heard you bad gone down to the factory quarters to stay all night! I am sure Tom would have been perfectly disgusted if I had done such a thing before we were married.’ ‘Tom cannot be expected to feel as I do about the factory hands, Tbalia. When Uncle Will left me the factory in his will, I felt that with the wealth I assumed also a great respon sibility. I have tried faithfully to keep it ever before my mind that tbo bauds are not mere machines making money for me, not mere ser vants earning their wages, but human beings, men, women and children, who suffer and en joy as I do. I have tried to make them feel that I am their friend as well as employer, and when I selected my new overseor I was very careful to tiud one who bad a heart and pity for tboso under him, os well as a compe tent guardian of my owq interests.’ * Tom says you are completely spoiling tho whole lot. The idea of your taking Roger Oakes away from the factory to send him to srbool!' * Tho boy was unhappy, and he was too weak for the work.’ * Then discharge him and bo done with him.’ ‘ I think he will become a good scholar, and will probably weli repay mo in the future.’ ‘ And now you are going to sit up all nigbt with bis mother, a mere pauper!' ' Tbalia! The poor woman worked os long as she could—worked until she fell fainting on the floor.’ ’ The town provides an alms-houso,’ said Thalia, coldly. At this moment a colored servant woman entered the room with a covered basket on her arm. Like her mistress, she was well wrapped np, in anticipation of a cold walk, for January winds were blowing, and the streets were full of snow. ‘ Have you all I ordered in the basket, Katie!’ asked Ellie. Yes Miss. Chicken broth, jelly, wine, bis cuits, cologne water—’ * Upon my word,’ said Tbalia, with a short hard laugh. * Why don't you take a diamond ring, Ellen V * I would if it was needed,’ was the grave reply. ‘ Are you ready, Katie ! It is time we were starting.’ ‘ All ready,' Miss. We will be there before dusk.’ The walk was not a very long one, and the two soon reached one of tho small honses where the many factory hands made their homps. As Ellen Morton passed tho quarters, more than one voice said: * There goes Miss Morton, carrying comfort to some poor body. God bless her!’ The woman Ellie was seeking was a widow with two sons, one of whom was at sea, the other in a good school, where Ellie had placed him, believing that be was capable of making a position for himself in the world of intellec tual labor, if he had education, and also real izing that his physical health could not bear the close confinement, and monotonous toil of the factory. The mother, bard-working and patient, yet bore on her pale face the sugges tive stamp of * better days,’ that contrast so cruelly with coarse, poor garments and unre mitting toil. Ellie bad felt, from the honr when she first saw Mrs. Oakes, a strong in terest in her welfare; and when the widow was taken ill, she bad been a kind, true friend to her. Yet, though she bad persevered so bravely in ber errand of mercy, Ellen bad felt keenly one of Tbalia’8 shafts. What would Gordon Randolph say if be knew yon bad been in the factory quarters all night 1’ Every woman past sixteen has her boro. El lie Morton at twenty-two bad hers. It was not quite a year since her nnele had left ber heir ess of bis property, tbe factory, in£ , from which she drew a handsome income. To Thalia tbe same uncle bad left bia hand- somo house and grounds, and an interest in a wholesale store, a depot for tbe factory work The sisters bad at once moved to E , and Thalia's husband bad assumed tbo position of tbe nnele in the store, while Ellie showed a clear business head in the management of her legacy. It was but natural that tbe aristocracy of E should call upon tbe sisters, offer every hospitality, and give them cordial welcome. And amid the circle of new friends Ellie met one who, whatever might be tbe end of their friendship, must always be different from all other friends in her heart. It was not for beauty or wealth that Ellie admired Gordon Randolph. He was a tall, strong man, with rather large features and keen gray eyes, a broad forehead, and a month as sensitive as a child’s, unbidden by beard or mnstacbe. He earned a good salary as cashier in the Liberty bank at E , but was by no means very wealthy. But never bad Ellie met any one who so perfectly filled her ideal of a true Christian gentleman as Gordon Randolph. It was true she had been forced to iudge more by words than deeds, but surely the words proved a heart sound and noble, an education of rare culture and a high standard of manhood, as well as a delicate refinement of taste and feel- iug. This last was the ordeal from which El lie felt she shrank a little. She knew Gordon Randolph loved her, al though there bad been no spoken words of love a9 yet, but be bad seen ber only in Tha lia's elegant drawing room 3, or in those of mu tual friends; had met her only in the tasteful costumes of a lady of w e altU and taste. Would he love her if he saw her in the poor, shabby room of ber poor patient ! saw ber in tbo sim ple dark chintz sbo had felt was tbe best dress for her nursing duties! Ellie was sure it would have made no differ euce in her couduct if Gordon had uttered one of bis curt but gentlemanly sentences of dis approval at her course; yet, ah! yet she would bavo liked to feel quite certain be thought she was right. While these thoughts were stirring in her heart, she was moving noiselessly but busily about Mrs. Oakes’ poor room, putting it in or der while Katie warmed tbe broth and coaxed up the tire. ‘ I shall not trouble veu much longer,’ the widow said faiutly, as Ellie put a supwy hand kerchief wet with cologne water upon her fore head. ‘ You do not trouble me,’ said Ellie in a very gentle manner. • 1 am very glad to stay with you.’ * I would like to ask one more favor. Miss Morton,’ Mrs. Oakes said, after a moment of silence. , * If I can grant it, it will give me pleasure,’ Ellie answered. ’ First let me tell you something of myself. You know already that I came bore from St. Louis, a widow with two sons, sought and ob tained work in your Uncle’s factory. But be fore I was married I lived in E . My father was a bauk clerk here for many years, and I had one brother, youuger than myself. I am not strong enough to tell a long story. I lov ed a man of whom my father kuew much that was bad, and ho forbade our marriage. I do not wish to excuse myself, but love had tbrown a glamour over my eyes, and I believed my handsome lover, rather than my kind, good father. I doped with Harry Oakes, who tired of me in less than a year. My marriage was a long.martyrdom, and I was enduring tbe sharpest ol all agony, that of seeing my boys being led and coaxed into their father's low, vile haunts, wheu death freed me from my ty- rant and my children from their tempter. Then the desire to be reconciled to my father and brother became unendurable. I sold my small stock of furniture and came here to find my father dead, and my brother occupying bis place In tbe bank. I bad not tbe heart to bur den bim with my poverty, and sought employ- ment. Harry, my oldest boy is at sea; Roger you have befriended; but I long to ask their uncle to be their friend. My pilgrimage draws near its close, and dying, he may forgive me. He was fond of his big sister when bo was a little boy.’ Shall I send for him !’ Ellie asked, after a long silence. * Yon will find tbe address here,’ Mrs. Oakes said, taking a folded note from under her pil low. * I wrote a line inside. I have tried to bide myself from him, Miss Morton, for his sake, but I cannot disgrace bim in my grave.’ Ellie took the note, and 6ent Katie for one of tbe factory men to act as messenger. By tbe light of tbe candles she bad brought she read the address: * Gordon Randolph, 374 L street: When the man bad taken it she sat down again by tbe bedBide, longing to know if ber lover bad tbe tree, noble heart she kad believ ed be possessed. Upon his treatment of his sister hung more than the man himself imagin ed. for ELie felt that one harsh or unkind word to the poor suffering sister would separate her self and Gordon Randolph forever. . She rose when there came a ring at the bell and stepped into tbe little sitting room, where tbe darkness concealed her. Across this room, almost touching her as he passed, Gordon Ran dolph strode with rapid steps. Into the little bedroom, straight to the side of the dyiog wo man, be went without pause, to bend over her, saying: Oh, Alice, Alice, it was eras! not to ssnd for me sooner!’ •You forgive me, Gordon!’ ’What have I to forgive, my own dear sis- terf’andhe kissed the wasted face. ‘Yon must get well, that yon may brighten my home.’ Then Ellie, beckoning to Katie, stole away, leaving the brother and sister together. It was some time after midnight when messenger came-tf summon her once more to Mia. Oakes, and she hastened again to her beside. Gordon Randolph was standing beside hie sister, holding her head upon his shonlder. The breath was coming in quick, short gasps through tbe parted Ups* and the large soft eyes were growing dim, but a smUe greeted Ellie as she came forward. Gordon Randolph spoke, in a low, husky voice; * You know my sorrow. Miss Morton. I have fonnd my dear sister only to. lose her again. She wished so much to see yon that I could not thwart her desire.’ ‘ I thank you sincerely that you did uot,’ El lie said. Bat whatever the widow had desired bo to Bay was never spoken. No words catne through the pale lips until, at tbe last, she looked at Gordon to sigh: ‘ Good-bye 1’ and the spirit was free. It was some weeks iater before Ellie again met Gordon Randolph, bnt when he called upon ber to thank her for ber kindness to his sister and nephew, he spoke words that prov ed that Elbe's kindly charity and gentle min istrations among the poor around her were bat added virtues in those of tbe woman he loved, and asked her to be bis wife. And Tbalia says she supposes that ’ Gor don and Ellie will keep on poking among low people and in nasty miserable places until they die.’ And I, gentle reader, really think they will. Singular Marriage of a Tennessee BeUe. Miss Sallle Belle Martin, of Alabama, lately a reigniog belle in Memphis, Tennessee, re cently dared a young gentleman named Joe Stone, a well known society man, while walk ing in tbe streets of that city, to lead her to the altar. When the gentleman got that far be halted. They left the charch and continued their walk, and called at tbe office of Fred. Martin, who kept a milk route, but who had, before the war, been wealthy and moved in the best society. After the usual greetings bad been exchanged between Mr. Martin and bis friends, Joe Stone laughingly remarked to Martin: * Miss Sailie has just backed me out on a proposition to get married.’ * Well,’ replied Martin, turning to the lady, ‘ you can’t back me eut!' ‘Yes, I can,’ laughingly responded Miss Martin, and then for two or three minutes tho parties indulged in laughter aud repartee, finally closing with the proposal of Mr. Stone to go off aud get a license. This was agreed to by all the parties, and the trio set off for the office of the county clerk, where the coveted document was to be had. Arriving there they fortunately met Mr. John Overton, Jr., who acquiesced in the proposal to go on the marriage bond, and in ten minutes the liceuse was signed, sealed and delivered by the smiling clerk, Mr. James Reilly. Coming out the quostion was put by Mr. Martin • Where will wo go to get married !’ In that obligiug manner which renders him such a favorite, Mr. Stono proposed the nearest ’Squire (Hall.) That official was not in. Nothing daunted, Mr. Martin proposed to walk up street. In passing up Second street they took a carriage aud drove out to St. Mary's, on Poplar street, as the most conve nient place for the ceremony. Tho rector, the Rev. George C. Harris, was not iu, and the trio, still od matrimony bent, despite the cruel fate which seemed opposed, started back down town. When near Fourth street Mr. Martin espied Mr. Harris on the street, aud at once accosted him, asking his services. With a profound bow tbe obliging rector expressed himself willing and ready, and tho quartet, taking a street car, again proceeded to St. Mary’s, being joined by two young ladies, friends of all parties, who happened along at tbe time. Arriving at the church, it being dark by this time, the lights were turned on, and tbe rather strange looking bridal party— Mr. Martin being in his every day working clothes—proceeded at once to the cbaucel, where, in his clerical robes, awaited the rev- orened gentleman who was soon to unite them forever. Neither the lady nor Mr. Martin, by this time very sober in tho expression of their countenances, faltered for a moment, but, join ing hands, stood before the man of God Whou tbe question was asked Mr. Martin— * Wilt thou have this woman to tby wedded wife!'he, in a low, firm tone, answered, *1 will.’ To the question, 1 Wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband !’ etc., Miss Martin promptly responded, 4 1 will.’ To the question, * Who giveth this woman to this man t’ Mr. Stone stepped forward (a3 next friend) and takiug tbe lady's hand gave it to the minister. v When that part of the ceremony was reach ed where, after plighting their troth the ring is given, it was found that neither of the parties bad the necessary golden circlet. One of the young ladies mentioned noticing the stop, slipped a ring off her finger and banded it to tho parties, and in a few moments the minister said: * I pronounce that they are man and wife, in tho name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Hoiy Ghost, Amen,’ and the romance was completed. Tbe bridal couple, after congratulations, proceeded to the house of a relation where Mrs. Martin, nee Miss Martin, had been stop ping. It required a little time to explain mat ters, after which wine and cake were brought in, and, in company with a few friends, all went merry as the traditional marriage bell. “Lonely To-Night, Lore.” Husband Traveling.—Scene I.—Room in hotel; spittoons full of cigar stamps; Boarbon whiskey; all hands equipped for a night’s spree; husband, in a harry to be off, writing home: Dearest Susie—My time is so occupied with business that I can hardly spare a mo ment to write to yon.

PERYERTED MOTHERHOOD. BY MBS. M. A. KIDDER. ‘ I hardly know a woman who moves in good society who is not ashamed of taking care o her own child out of doors, and I have no words for my scorn and contempt of tbe feeling. It is as though a Queen should hide her crown, or a soldier the cross of the Legion of Honor.' —Mary Kyle Dallas. While my poor heart aches and makes its moan, Take my babe away, tbough it be my own, Flesh ot my fiesb, and bone of my boue, Take it away 1 Fashion has issued her storn decree. And the babe of my bosom is not for me, Tbough its sad eyes follow me sileutly— Take it away 1 Carry it for tbo morning air; Ob, God 1 to think I should over dare To trust my child to a hireling's care, Day after day. Content (!) so I hear not my baby's calls Through tbe pla'c glass windows and brown stone walls, So its voice never pierces tho frescoed halls— Take it away 1 Yet often I think how sweet ’twould bo run with my darling o'er field and lea, But, baby, it is not for such as wo, This innocent play. Wo dwell io palaces rich and grand. Yet tho veriest slaves in ail tbe land— How the little warm fingers clasp my hand— Take it away! Oh 1 I grudgo the humblest mother blest. Who nurses her babe at ber own white breast, Yet is uot ashamed of her lovo confest By night or day 1 Who, sboold a rude haod strike ber child, Would spring liko a tiger fierce and wild— Ah, see ! my babyr looked up and smiled— Take it away 1 On a stranger’s milk my darling thrives 1 Heaven fill the blank in our useless lives, Heaven help us poor, unnatural wives, If we still tnay pray. Oh ! I often wonder if on that shore Our babes will be with us forecermore When we are free ! One kiss at tho door— Take it away 1 Wayside Gatherings. 8 years. President..
