An Evening Song. BY ELIZA COOK. Father above ! I pray to Thee, Before I take my rest! I seek Thee on my bended knee, With warm and grateful breast. First let me thank Thee for my share Os sweet and blessed health ; It is a boon I would not spare, For worlds of shining wealth. And next I thank Thy bounteous hand, That gives my ‘daily bread,’ That flings the corn upon the land, And keeps our table spread. I thank Thee for each peaceful night, That brings me soft repose, I thank Thee for the morning’s light, That bids my eyes unclose. I own Thy mercy when I move With limbs all sound and free, That gaily bear me when I rove, Beside the moth and bee. I thank Thee for my kindred friends, So loving and so kind; Who tell me all that knowledge lends, To aid my heart and mind. Ah ! let me value as I ought, The lessons good men teach, To bear no malice in my thought, No anger in my speech. Father above ! Oh ! hear my prayer, And let me ever be, Worthy iny earthly parents’ care, And true in serving thee. SABBATH EVENING. BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE. ’Tis holy time. The evening shade, Steals with a soft control O'er nature, as a thought of heaven Steals o’er the human soul; And every ray from yonder blue And every drop of falling dew, Seems to bring down to human woe* From heaven a message of repose. O’er yon tall rock the solemn trees, A shadowy group incline ; Like gentle nuns in sorrow bowed Around their holy shrine; And o’er them now the night winds blow, So calm and still the music low, Seems the mysterious voice of prayer Soft echoed on the eveniug air. The mists, like incense from the earth, Rise to a God beloved, And o'er the waters move as first The Holy Spirit moved; The torrent’s voioe, the wave’s low hymn, Seein the fair notes of Seraphim, And all earth’s thousand voices raise Their song of worship, love and praise. The gentle sisterhood of flowers Bend low their lovely eyes, Or gaze through trembling tears of dew Up to the holy skies ; And the pure stars come out above, Like sweet aud blessed things of love, Bright signals in ethereal dome To guide the parted spirit home. There is a spirit if blessedness In air and earU and heaven, And nature wears the blessed look Os a young saiit forgiven : Oh ! who, at such an hour of love, Can gaze on all ar>und, above, And not kneel down upon the sod With Nature's sell to wot ship God.

In mediately afterwards, a lady entered, and asked permission to wait till the rain was over, jhe good woman of the cottage placed a chan for her visitors, with a hearty welcome, and then resumed her occupa tion of looking anxiously along the road, from which this momentary interruption had with drawn her. In a few minutes 1 heard the pat tering of a pair of smill feet along the muddy road. ‘Poor little lamb! s ie’s wet to the skin!’ said the woman, receiving into her open arms the owner of the small feet, a little girl about six years old. ‘Ain’t you wet, dear V ‘Yes, I’m very wet,’ replied the child. ‘We’ll soon set that to rights. Come by the fire, there's a darling. I hope you’ll please to excuse me, ma'am,’ continued, addressing the lady, ‘but, you set, if I left her wet things on she’d be sure to catch cold.’ ‘I should be very sorry, indeed, if you were to do so on account ot my being here, replied the visitor, watching with much interest the maternal cares that were bestowed upon the lit tle wanderer’s comforD. ‘You seem very fond of your little girl. 1 suppose she is your youngest, is she not ?’ ‘La, ma’am! she’s no child of mine, nor no ways related,’ said the woman, aft’ectionately kissing the object that truth obliged her to dis own ; ‘but that don’t make no kind of differ ence. I’m fond of her as if she was my own flesh and blood, every bit.’ ‘lndeed you seem so. I quite thought she was the youngest, and the pet.’ ‘She is the pet, ma’am, bless her little heart; but she is no ways related to me nor my hus band.’ ‘W hose child is site, then ?’ inquired the lady. ‘Why, ma'am, she’s] the child of the man that lives in the next!cottage down the road, you can see the chimney from our door; and just two years ago he lost his wife.

Then he talked about his two boys at home how handy and clever they were; but that they sadly wanted some tidy young woman look after them. Then he told her about his cottage, saying it was just as comfortable a one as her brother’s only not so orderly, and all for the want of some tidy young woman to take care of it. And when she was out of the room, he even went so far as to ask her brother, as they sat smoking their pipes together, whether bethought Mary would have him. ‘You'd better ask her, yourself, John,’ was the reply; she’s a good, steady girl, and would make a good wife to any man. She's not single now for want-of being asked, for she’s had lots of lovers.’ ‘Well, I wonder if she’d have me. To-mor row will be Sunday, so I’ll come up in the even ing, and ask her to take a walk, and then we ll see. lie smoked another pipe almost in silence and then departed.

What shall I tell him ?’ ‘You’d better not tell him what you don’t know; and I won't say before he asks me,’ was her cautious answer. ‘Well, he’s coming to-morrow to go for a walk with you.’ ‘Don’t be foolish,’ said Mary, reprovingly. ‘1 fidu’t you hear him say so, mother V he per sisted, appealing to his wife. ‘lie did say so, Mary,for I heard him.’ ‘La!’ exclaimed Mary,‘but that aint asking me to marry him.’ ‘No, but he will ask you.

Mr. Morris had been reading the afternoon paper, hut he laid this down and looked cross ly up. “ Really,” he said, “you seem to me to waste more money on gloves than any woman l ev. ver knew. It was only last week I gave you money to buy anew pair.” ‘Fhe wife colored, and was about to answer tartly; for she felt that her husband had no cause his crossness; hut remembering that “a soft wrath,” she ll "ely vn ri'i pair of gloves ; ancT C deal, as you know, in th'u,,T/ r “ Humph!” And, ha..ucecNMvy words Mr. Morris took up the paper again. For several minutes there was silence. The wife continued her sewing, and the hus band read sulkily on : at last as if sensible that he had been unnecessarily harsh, he ventured to remark by way of indirect apo'ogy, “ Business is very dull, Jane,” he said ‘‘and sometimes 1 do not know where to look for mo ney. lam hardly making iny expenses. ’’ ’The wife looked up with tears in her eyes. “ I am sure, James,” she said, “that I try to he as economical as possible, 1 went with out anew silk dress this winter, because the one I got last spring would answer, I thought, by having anew body made to it, My old bon net, too was re-trimmed. And as to the gloves, you know you are very particular about my hav ing gloves always nice, and scold, if I appear in the street with a shabby pair on,” Mr. Morris know all this to be true, and felt still more ashamed of his conduct : however like most men, he was 100 proud to confess his error except indirectly. lie took out his pocketJtook and said, “ How much will satisfy you for a year, not gloves only but all other etceteras? I will make you an allowance, and you need not ask me for a dollar, whenever you want a pair of gloves or anew handkerchief. The wife’s eyes danced with delight. She thought for a moment, and then said, “ I will undertake on fiffydollars, to find my self in all these things.” Mr. Morris dropped the paper as i( it had been red hot, and stared at his wife. “ I believe,” he said, “you women think that we men are made of money. I don’t spend fifty dollars in gloves and handkerchiefs in half a dozen years.” M rs. Morris made no reply for a full minute, for she was determined to keep her temper. But the quickness with which her needle mo. ved showed that she had some difficulty to be amiable.—At last she said, on to tho opposite end.—But-\\ hen he cf ftf round, and they both pulled at one end, itd over with great ease. “There!” said he, as the line foil from mol; “you see how hard and ineffectual our labor when we pulled in opposition to t I other; but how easy it was when we V led together! It will be so with us, my and V through life! If we oppose each other, itm\ 1 be hard work; if we act together, it wiil\\™ pleasant to live.
