A
Tlie Angel’s Whisper.
BY SAMUEL LOVEB.
A superstition of great beauty prevails in Ireland, that,
when a child smiles in Us sleep, it L talking with the angels/
A baby was sleeping.
Its mother was w eplng.
For her husband was far on the wild raging sea,
Aud the tempest was swelling
Round the fisherman’s dwelling
And she cried, “ Derrnot, and irllng, oh ! come back to me.”
Her beads while she numbered,
The baby still slumbered.
And smiled in her face as rhe bended her knee :
Oh ‘. blts.-ed be that warning,
Myclii and. thy sleep adorning,
For I know thatthe angels are whispering with thee.
And while they are keeping
Bright watch o’er thy sleeping,
Oh, pray to them softly, my bat y, with me,
A nd say thou woeidst rather.
They'd watch o’er thy father.
For I know that the angels sre whispering with thee.
Tho dawn of the morning
haw bermor returning.
And the wife wept with joy her babe's father to see.
And closely caressing.
Her child with able. slug.
Said, “ I knew that the angels were whispering with thee.”
Home without a Mother.
“ Mother, mother, mother ! ” sobbed
a sweet voice, in agonizing tones. It
was dark and cold in the low, dismal
attic; but close pressed to the frosted
windows lay the face of Sammy Ilantz.
Ilis soft hair hung over his tearful face,
G*sdV) I G f Kin knn/Ire -*j- - A s vzu^h
window-sill, and his whole frame shook,
as the keen blast found its way through
the crevices around the stone chimney.
It was a sound you never would forget
—those halfsobbed, half-moaned words
—“ Mother, mother, mother ! ” You
would have felt that that little heart
was ready to burst with its unutterable
weight of sorrow, and that grief might
be the companion of childhood, as well
as old age.
Below stairs the fire leapt and spark
led, and crept gaily over the logs in
the fireplace—for you may find fire
places in Inglenook even now.
Everything was in order, and Mrs.
Ilantz, the step-mother of Sammy, was
sitting placidly before the fire, smooth
ing the folds of her clean apron, and in
a self satisfied manner stroking a tabby
cat which lay in her lap.
Her three children were sitting cozily
in little chairs by the fireside, and Mr.
Ilantz was talking with a brother who
had just arrived to spend Thanksgiving
with them.
The wind blew fiercely without, and j
once, when an unusual tempest seemed !
to shake the foundation of the house, the i
father turned suddenly to his wife, and
said:
“ Where is Sammy ? ”
“ Gone to bed,” said she, tartly.
“ What made him go so early ?” asked
Mr. Ilantz. And in a tone which pre
eluded further inquiry, his wife an
swered :
“ Because he was too lazy to sit up, I
suppose.”
For a few moments Mr. Ilantz looked
off vacantly into a corner of the room,
and then offering a pipe to his brother,
seemed to forget that little Sammy had
been mentioned.
Eight years before, Mr. Ilantz had
been sitting at the same fireside with his
first wife, gentle Sarah Lee. Sammy
was upon his father’s lap, and Sarah,
with her head upon her husband’s shoul
der, was talking of what they would do
when Saiumy would be old enough to
have a ‘thanksgiving of his own. Per
haps Mr. Ilantz’s memory was bringing
out those old pictures in a fresh light,
and he may have paused to wonder if he
had changed since that wife of hi i first
choice and purest love for the one that
sat before him. However it was, no
one knew. Men are often ashamed of
their best and noblest thoughts, and
hide them for fear they may be called
unmanly.
hether the old adage may be true
or not, that “ a mother is the same all
the days of her life, but a father changes
when he gets anew wife,” we do not
pretend to say; but it was a fact that
the second Mrs. Ilantz and her children
were apparently first in the thoughts and
affections of Mr. Ilantz.
The morrow was Thanksgiving, and
from early morn had Mrs. Ilantz been
busy preparing for the great dinner of
the coming day.
More than two months before, she had
promised Sammy, that “it he was a good
boy, and behaved himself,” he might go
to his grandfather Lee’s tn spend Thanks
giving. And the motherless child had
hoped and planned,and been happy upon
the events of that day. He had many
times gone to bed supperless, and never
cried at all, because ho fell asleep think
ing of the dinner he should have at his
grandfather’s.
Although but two miles away, his
stepmother seldom allowed him to go
there, because, as she averred, “they set
him up aeainst her, and made him look
uglier than ever.” But once in a while
she was obliged to let him go, for fear
that people would “ talk about it.” She
was a first-class member of the church
in Inglenook, and her praise for charita
ble deeds and kindness to the*poor, was
in all the neighborhood. She was one
of those Christians, whose “ right hand
knows what the left hand doeth,” and
whose religion was for the praise of
man, rather than the approval of God ;
.and whose judgment I leave for a just
Judge to pronounce at a coming day.
Many a time had poor Sammy had a
boxed ear, while the minister looked out
of the window, and been sent supperless
to bed, while she told visitors that “ he
was sick,” and while he slept shivering
under a few old blankets in the garret,
she displayed a good warm bed-room
below, as “ Sammy’s room.” Through
all Inglenook she was proverbial as a
“ naodel step-mother,” and none but He
who watches over motherless children,
knew of all that poor Sammy suffered.
No human friend knew of the wrongs
done to his childish nature ; of the harsh
repressing of all exuberance and joy;
and of the bitterness which grew up in
his heart toward all but his grandfather.
He was like his mother, and sitting on
her father’s knee, he had been told by
the old man how gentle and lovely she
was. and that she was with ancrels now |
and he a motherless boy.
So the young child’s heart clung to
the old man who was kind to him, and
the great holiday of the year was that
upon which he could get away from the
sound of his step-mother’s voice, and the
fear of her hand—when be could leave
the chill fireside at home, where he al
ways sat behind the new family group,
and would climb upon the lap of old
Mr. Lee, and with his soft curls lying
close to the white hair of the old man,
listen to the stories told of his mother,
and then have a nice supper upon the
round table, drawn close to the fire. —
This year he had anxiously waited for
the dry leaves to drift through the woods
in October, and for the first November
snow to come, because at Thanksgiving
he should visit his grandfather.
And the day before had at last come.
He was up before the stars were out of
sight, and had a blazing fire upon the
hearth ; “ the tea-kettle boiling, and the
potatoes in.” All day long his little
feet had pattered here and there—to the
barn, to the well, down cellar, up stairs,
in the pantry, and through the kitchen.
There surely never was a housewife who
needed more waiting upon than Mrs.
Ilantz, and Sammy did it all. His fin
gers smarted with cold, when he picked
up great baskets of chips; his back
ached when he lugged in armtull after
armfull of great hard wood, sticks foi the
kitchen and “ spare room ” fire-place ;
his hungry stomach craved a piece of the
smoking pies, which he had to drag from
the brick oven ; and he longed for one
“doughnut” from the heaping panfull he
had to carry away. His little feet and
slender arms were very tired, but he
never complained a word, and to all his
mother’s provoking taunts, and needless
fault-finding, he was silent; but when
all was done—and it -was nine o’clock—
he could not help asking her it he was
to go to his grandfather's to-morrow ;
and when he heard her say, “No! I want
you at home,” he could hardly totter up
stairs. When there, he dropped into
an old chair, and moaned, oh, so sadly!
“ Mother, mother, mother ! ”
How many childish hearts nioan “ mo
ther, mother!” How many ache and
break for want of a mother’s love ! All
bver the world poor orphaned children
send up a wail for mother, love and
Heaven ! Bitter indeed is theory ; but
does not God hear it, and shall he not
justly reward the oppressors little
children <
Thanksgiving morning dawned clear
and brightly upon Inglenook ; but Mrs.
Hantz “waited on herself” that day,for
after calling the poor boy many times,
she went up 9tairs and found him still
sitting, white and chill, by the window,
with tears frozen upon his cheeks, and
his soft hair woven with the frost-work
on the glass.
Little Sammy had gone to hold his
Thanksgiving with the angels.
ISP A French writer bus said that “to dream
gloriously,” yw ara*t act glm-ion-lv, while yon

“You know Mrs. Livingston,’’ said she,
“and how stuck up she is called, though I
never thought her so. Well, I often run o
ver there, in the morning, without any cere
mony, and she never makes a stranger of me.
S ), some weeks ago, I was there in her bou
doir, as she and the breakfast things were
not yet removed, (for the lady had risen late,
being indisposed, and taken her meal alone,)
when the mulatto waiter, whom I never
j could bear, he is so awful dignified, came in
and said. There is a girl in the kitchen,
waiting to see you, madam; she says she
heard you wanted a seamstress. ‘Send her
up, James,’ said the lady; and in she came.
The tfirl was tall, slender, very pale, and
poorly dressed, but with a kind of “I am as
good as you” air, which J have noticed in
American girls, under all circumstatfees.
Mrs. Li vingston kind of started when she saw
her first, but recovered herself, and inviting
her to be seated; then made inquiries as to
what work she had been accustomed to do;
and finally asked her name.
“Jane Craig,” replied the girl.
“Indeed ! I thought your face looked fa
miliar. And your mother?”
“Susan Craig.”
“Did she once live on Green Street ?”
“Yes ma’am.”
“Tis as I expected. Where does she re
side at present?” .
There was a minute’s hesitation; then she
replied:
“On Law Street” (A most wretched lo
cality.) She appeared to be nerving her
self for an effort, and continued: “My moth
er has been a widow some time; she takes
in washiug.
The lady turned to me and said: “This
young girl’s mother and I were neighbors,
when we were both very poor. She was
rather better off, then, for she owned a cr>w;
and many were the times I have been in
debted to her for the luxury of a cup of cream
to enrich the tea, which formed so large a
share of my best meal. She was the kind
est neighbor I ever had. I have lost sight
of her a long time, but I am now going to
see her, directly. lam sure Aunt Betsy, (I
am evervbodv’s Aunt, .vou know.) will ex
cuse me and you.”
“My dear sit down, and take a cup of tea
(you must have breakfasted early,) while I
dress myself.”
So saying, she poured out the tea, and
forced the girl into a seat by the fire. I
must confess. I opened my eyes a little to
see the aristocratic Mrs, Livingston, who
would not perceive the advances made by
Mrs. Jones, for her acquaintance, although
the latter was the wife of a millionarie, who
gava the most splendid parties in town; and
whose husband, having made his money by
poik-butchering, now in their grandeur, ig
nore lard, and could not endure the squeal
of a pig. Yet, here She was acknowledging
her former poverty without a blush, and
reckoning up her indebtedness to a poor
neighbor, with all the ease and grace imag
inable.
She soon returned, warmly, but plainly
clad, with a large woolen shawl over her arm
and a pair of thick-soled walking-shoes in
her hand, both of which, she insisted on
Jane's wearing.
About a week afterwards, I saw the girl
handsomely dressed, studying her lessons
under the lady’s supervision, in the morning
room. She is there still; and Mrs. Livingston
calls her “Jennie, dear.’’ One day, I saw
her coming out of a pretty thread and nee
dle store, on a genteel street. She stopped
at the door to shake hands with a well dress
ed, middle aged woman, whom she called
“Mother.”
“Give my love to Mrs. Livingston, and
tell her I will be around in the morning.”
said the elder.
1 thought to myself, Mrs. Craig - 's cups of
cream brought large interests; and’ I guess,
she found a neighbor, lately, in the sense
meant by our Savior, in the parable of the
good Samaritan. .Ruth llall.
“ Born Cipher and Die Zero.”
The following is an extract from a recent
characteristic sermbn from Henry Ward
Beecher : It’s a hard case to be b orn cipher,
and die zero; but as things go now that’s
the case with a great number, .If they are
born so, they must die so; there’s no help fcv
them. Nine-tenths of the governments of
the world are unmixed evil, and the other
tenth is mixed good and evil, but evil pre
dominates. On some of its sides our nation
al governments is the best of the time; on
others the worst. Political life is bad, very
bad. There are some good individuals, I
suppose, to be found in every place. Lot,
you remember, was found in Sodom—but I
think the ang( :1 would be puzzled to find ten
honest men in Washington as he was in that
old city. This state of things doesn’t seem
promising truly ; but yet it is true, the time
will come, when Christianity will be applied
to politics. The stateman smiles wheu i say
this to him, and advises me to attend to my
own business, preach the gospel and let pol
itics alone. Nay, but this is my business, for
it i3 my business to preach the devil out o!
the world: and, if you want to find the ce
vil, go among sti tesmen, or those that ai e
called so, politicians! Yes, I repeat it, the
rime is comin-g when governments shall be
thoroughly Christian, when all men shall en
joy equal rights and privileges. 1 nderstand
me. The dine will never come—l hope not
—when *ve r y man will be made just equal
to every other man in every olher respect —
just as rich, just as learned, just as tall, as
his neighbors —but lie will enjoy equal op
portun!ties and advantages with other tilings
for gaining learning, wealth and other things.
Christ ‘anity is no arbitrary leveler. TTip per
fect wheat or clover is not just as high as
the perfect oak or cedar. The grand idea ol
Christianity is, that the chiefest is the servant
of all. Superiority serves inferiority. Just
a, in the family, tne little weak, pulp brain
ed babe, with its, at present, useless arms,
sprouting out on each side like vegetables,
is the meater, and the great fine brained,
strong-made, well-developed, cunning fin
ijered lather and mother are his servants;
hey work tor and tend him continually,
they go anywhere for him, they come quick
ly at his feeble call as though it were a trum
pet’s so pud.

The Angels.
Some time since we copied a beautiful in
cident from the local columns of the New
Orleans Courier. Here is another equally
touching and beautiful from the same source:
\\ e are not fond of detailing the scenes of
that last jftrugg'e with the great Archer, be
fore mortality puis ou immortality; but iu a
season like the present, where no one who is
interested in the grtat charities of this city,
fails daily to witness such events, now and
then one occurs 4hat is pleasing and instruc
tive to relate. Such was the death-bed scene
of Emma B . A flaxen haired, bright
eyed, sunny-faced damsel of seven summers,
was Emma—the light of her mother’s house
hold, and the favorite of all who knew her.
The fever enteri and her family—a brother, a
cousin, and an aunt went down into the
dark valley before the pestilence developed
itself in the life-blond of little Emma.
The disease was rapid in its progress, and
yesterday we stood by the bed side of the
little sufferer. Her tangled hair floated over
her shoulder, the rose-tinted cheek h*d be
come waxpn, the great change was evident
ly near. Suddenly from a deep stupor she
roused into an attitude of the utmost atten
tion. The eye sparkled like a diamond in
gas light, and a slight tinge of pink appeared
on her cheek, as she sprang up whispering,
with subdued interest, “ Hark, the sky is
full of music. It is the angels j they come
into the room ; they come found the bed.
Oh I it is brother, consin, aunt, and many,
many more.’’ She stretched out her hand,
her face dimpled with a heavenly smile, and
with the exclamation “I cornel” she sunk
back upon the bed. The vita 1 spark had fled,
but there was none of the deformity of
death there. A seraphic smile still dwelt
on the features and they still bore the same
exultant expression as when she uttered, “I
come,” in response to the invitation of the
angels. Death had daguerreotyped a smile
as he gave life to another angel.
Truth.
The first creature of God, in the works of
the days, was the light of the sense, the last
was the light of reason, and the Sabbath
work, ever since, is the illumination of his
spirit. First he breathed light upon the face
of the matter, or chaos, then fie breathed
lieht : nto the face of men; and still he breath
ed and inspired light into the face of his
chosen. The poet, that beautified the sect,
that otherwise inferior to the rest, saith yet
excellently well, ‘lt is a pleasure to stand
upon the shore, and to see ships tost upon
the sea; a pleasure to stand in the window
of a castle, and to see a battle, and the ad
ventures thereof below; but no pleasure is
comuarable to the standing upon the vantage
ground of truth (a hill not to be commanded,
and where the air is ahvays clear and se
rene,) and to see the errors, and wanderings,
and mists, and tempests, in the vale below;
so always that this prospect be with pity,
and not with swelling or priite. Certainly
it is heaven upon earth to have a man’s
mind move in charity, rest in providence,
and turn upon the poles of truth.
To pass from theological and philosophical
truth to the truth of civil business, it will be
acknowledged, even by those that practice
it not. that clear and sound dealing is the
honor of man’s nalurp, and that mixture of
falsehood is like alloy in coin of gold or sil
ver, which may make the metal work the
better, but it embaseth it; for these winding
and crooked courses are the goings of the
serpent, which goeth basely upon the belly,
and not upon the feet There is no voice
that doth so cover a man with shame as to
be found false and perfidious; and ther* fore
Montaigne saith prettily, when he inquired
the reason why the word of the lie should
be such a disgrace, and such an odious
charge, ‘lf it be well weighed, to say, that a
man lietb, is as much as to say that he is
brave towards God, and a coward towards
tnau ; for a lie faces God, and shrinks from
man.’ Surely the wickedness of falsehood
and breach of lahh cannot possibly be so
highly expressed as in that it shall be the
last peal to call the judgments of God upon
the generations of men: it being foretold,
that when Christ Cometh,’ he shall not ‘find
faith upon earth. —Lord Bacon.
How John swore Tor Betty.
The law of the State of Virginia prohibits
marriage unless the parties are of lawful age,
or by the consent of the parents.
John N , a well-to-do-farmer, in the
Valley of Virginia, was blessed with every
comfort except that desideratum—a wife.
John cast his eyes around, but unsuccessful*
ly, until they fell upon the former Betty
daughter of John Jones one of the prettiest
and nicest girls in the country. After a
courtship of six weeks, John was rendered
happy by the consent of the fair Betty.
The next day, John, with a friend, went
to town to get the necessary documents; with
the forms of procuring which he was most
lamentably ignorant. Being directed to the
clerk’s office, John with a good deal of hes
itation informed the urbane Mr. Brown that
be was going to get married to Betty Jones,
and wanted to know what he must do to
compass that desirable consummation. Mr.
Brown, with a eland smile, informed him,
that after being satisfied that no legal im
pediment prevented the ceremony, he would
for the sum and consideration ot $3, grant
him the license. John much relieved, hand
ed out the necessary funds.
“Allow me,” said Brown, “to ask you a
few questions.” Ycu are 21 years of age,
I suppose, Mr. N?”
“ Yes,” said John.
“Do you solemnly swear, that Betty Jdnes,
s-pinster, is of lawful ago, (made and enacted
by the Legislature of Virginia,) to take the
marriage vow?’
‘ What's that?” said John,
Mr. JJ. repeated.
“Weli,” said John, “Mr. Clerk, I want M
get mamed, but I joined the church at the
last revival, and I wouldn’t swear tor a hun
dred dollars.”
‘"Then, sir, you cannot get married.
’ “Can’t get married! Good gracious, Mr.
Clerk, they’ll turn me out of tbe church it I
swear! Don’t refuse me, Mr. Clerk, for
heaven’s sake. I’ll give you $lO if you let
me off from swearing.”
“Can’t do it, Mr, N.”
“Hold on, Mr. Clerk, I’ll swear, I
couldn’t give up Betty for ten churches. I'll
swear, may I bed and, if she ain’t 18 years
old—give me the license.”
