Kill.! IV. GA., THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 188:!.
Only the Sunny Hours.
Only the'sunny hours
Are numberlid here—
Not winter time that lowers,
No twilight drear.
But from a golden sky,
Where sunbeams fall,
Though the bright moments fly—
They’re couuted all.
My heart its transient woe
Remembers not ;
'I he ills of long ago
Are haif forgot;
But childhood’s round of bliss,
Youth’s tender thrill,
Hope’s whisper, love’s first kiss—
They haunt me still.
Sorrows are everywhere,
Joys—all too few !
Have we not had our share
Of pleasure, too 1
No past the glad heart covers,
No memories dark :
Only the sunny hours,
The dial mark.

MOLEBUfiROW’S MODEL.
“Here is a letler,’, said Mr.
Swasey lo one ol his clerks, ‘‘Bui
Ibis tilty-doliar nolo in it, and
seal aud post it yourselt.”
The employer turned away,and
Henry Dade, aller inclosing the
money aud sealing the teller,
turned it over to attach the
stamp. A quick Hush mantled
liis cheek as his eye caught the
address. It was that of Mr. Irvine,
the lather of the sweetheart lie
had left ol home on coming to
enter Mr. Swasey’s service six
months belore.
Henry knew that by (be same
mail Kale Irvine would receive a
letter, whose coriteuts, he Halter
ed himself would meet with even
a wanner welcome than those of
ils more richly frighted fellow
passenger.
Henry’s and Kale’s engage
ment was vet their own secret.
Kale had no moiher lo tell it to ;
and her lather, she knew, would
never countenance Ihe preten
tions of a youth like Henry Dade,
without wealth or influence.
“I shall come back belore many
years, ’’ s lid Henry, proudly, the
day he and Kate parted, ‘‘rich
enough not lo be ashamed to tel!
your lather of my love. We are
young yet, and can afford to
wait.”
Some days after the posting ol
the two letters Henry Dade was
summoned to his employer’s pri
vate office.
“I suppose, being your fellow
towsman, you know Mr. Irvine,
to whom 1 gave you a letter to
mail the other day said Mr.
Swasey.
“I—l do,” stammered Henry,
reddening; a tact which did not
escape the keen eyes of his ques
tioner.
•‘His standing is good, I pre
sume ?”
“None better,” the young man
hastened (o answer.
‘4 have had some business with
Mr, Irvine lately,” remarked Mr.
Swasey, “and it’s well, you know,
lo be informed touching ueople
one has dealings with.”
Mr. Svvasey then placed in
Henry’s band an open letter, and
a bank note.
“I have another remittance to
make to Mr. Iryine,” he contin
ued. “Please inclose the money
as before, and mail the letter
yourseit.”
Henry bowed and went to exe
cute the commission. ,
Before a week had passed he
was again called to the private
room, This time Mr. Swasev’s
manner was severely stern.
“You vouched warmly the
other day,”, he began, ‘“jfer Mr.
Irwiue’s, reputation,”
“I said there was r.oue better,
eir.” said Henry, surprised aud
piqued at the manner in which
‘tlie subject was renewed;
|“So'mlicit the \yorsb lYr you **
replied (he other, meeting the :
young man's astonished look with j
a searching gaze. “But the hank
notes remitted lo Mr. Irvine have |
been sent back as counierfeil ; j
and as you are so ready to answer ;
Tor his probity, you will hardly
suspect him of having returned
spurious biils for genuine ones
received. 8 ’
‘Certainly mil.”
“You inclosed the noles and
posted the tellers ; outsell ?’’
“I did.”
“Perhaps you can account,then,
for this mysterious transmutation
ol good money into bad ?”
‘'Might there hot have been a
mistake as to the quality of the
notes sent ?’Henry ventured to
inquire.
“Granting that lo have been
possible respecting the first,” Mr.
Swasev answered, “when (hat, or
its substitute, was returned,! took
uains to prevent a second m s
take. Without que Honing Mr.
Irvine’s word, I selected another
note, undoubtedly genuine, on
which 1 placed a secret tnaik,
taking care, that, like the first, it
should reach the post-office
through vour hands. This morn
ing Mr. Irvine returns the note
as bad, which, lie says, he receiv
ed in my last idler. It is not
the one I gave you, and is a base
counterfeit. If Mr. Irvine is the
honest man you say, there is but
oue conclusion deft.’’
I'iie young clerk turned death
ly pale.
“Surely you do not suspec—”
‘•You ?—yes!"’
Mr. Swasey touched the bell
on-his desk, and directed the at
tendant who entered to call an
officer, and Henry Dade was con
signed to a prison cell.
But the hardest blow was when
Mr. Irvine appeared as a witness
belore Hie examining magistrate,
and testified lo leceivmg the
conunlerleit noles in the two
letters which Henry could not
deny had been sealed and posted
by himself.
Bui one result could be expect
ed. The prisoner was luNy com
mitted for trial.
Moleburrow, the home of the
Irvines, and Henry Dade’s native
village, had ils model young
man. 11 is name was Meshach
Bike, lie had risen, step by step,
lo the dignity ol “keeping store,”
and, at last, to the rank of post
master.
Kate Irvine had long been the
object of his attentions, which he
redoubled alter the discovery of
Henry Dade’s misconduct.
Asa rising man Mr. Pike was
not likely to find disfavor in the
eyes of heads of tamilies. lie
even found especial tavor in Mr.
Irvine’s sight ; and if Kate had
only been of the same mind the
success of Mr. Pike’s aspirations
would soon have been a settled
question.
One evening when Meshach
Pike was making himself at home
in Mr. Irvine’s parlor, two visitors
called. The appearance ot one
was greeted with expressions ol
surprise.
It was the other who spoke.
‘•Mr. Pike, 1 presume ?”
That gentleman uodded.
“I have an unpleasant duty to
perform,” returned the first, lay
ing his hand on Pike's shoulder.
The latter started in alarm,
novel mode ot niaihrobbing
has come into vogue of late—that
of opening money letters and re
placing their contents with spu
ruus notes. A decoy letter lias
been discovered Ip have been
thus tampered with in your office,
and as you have ho clerks, th re
can be little doubt at whose door
the giiilt lies. There is equally
little that this young man, here,
who hV 5 been released on bail
since the cl elect pi' ofy bur crime, j
i?; tine of the vi‘c(Ktls; of \'< ur
fraud ”
A search of Meshach Pike’s
person brought to light the idenl
ical note which Mr. Swasey liad
marked.
The detective took away his
prisoner, and Henry Dade re
mained to complete the visit Me
shach had begun. Mr. Irvine
received him kindly, Mr. Swasey
has promoted iiitn, aud Kate
thinks the engagement may soon
confided to her lather.
The Power cf Kindness.
A noted roober on the scaffold
onece preached a most eioquen
and effective se, non to the gap
ing crowd in two words —“Be
kind.”
1 He instanced a not able epoch in
} his own file when his lerocioue
j iemper and biootl thirsty spirit
; were completely subjugated by
the. power of kindness. At the
close ol day, uiLh an accomplice,
lie rode up lo the gale ol au oid
man, reputed to have much gold,
with the avowed purpose of tak
ing life aud securing the treas
; ure. Beiore reaching the house
j he said to Ins companion : “It I
j say ‘lets be going,’ that shail be
j the Signal for blood, but if I say,
‘let’s lake tiie road,’ that shall
: indicate that iiie must be spar
* ed.” At the gale the grey-head
ed old man welcomed them with
j much cordiality and liospitaliiy ;
jiuviled them to spend the uigas,
! and had their animals properly
j cared lor. The mail ame ol the
: house was equally kind aud
courteous, serving a tine supper,
i and other wise evincing a spirit
of kindness which completely
■ disarmed the murderous lulen
] lions ol the guests, and they de
oarted at the Signal, -lets take
' the road,” leaving 4 ire kind old
j couple in possession of both life
j and money.
This is but one of a thousand
illustrations (hat kindness will
• pay. “11 thine enemy hunger,
ieed him,"’ is the teaching ol Ho
iy Writ, and there is abundant
proot that this is the most effec-
I live, it not tlie only way to sub
; due loes. Even the savage iu
j stincis ot beasts of prey are sway
ed by the laws ot kindness.
Kindness as the offspring ot love
iio God and love to uiau, is more
: potent than the deep mouth ean
i non and all the glittering para
phernalia ot war. There ts no
power of the human soul which
so effectively disarms h.rreu anu
envy. It binds humanity >n a
bond ut common brotherhood ami
brings together on one uli versai
piatloriii the rich and poo.. ue
j bond and free. Gold cannui pur
chase the io Ye and respect oi our
leltows, but kindness never tads.
While “mtu's inhumanity lo man
makes countless thousands
mourn,” kindness uniformly dis
played will create a heaven of
hope and happiness in the hearts
ol despairing millions of earth's
I dowutiodden and despairing chil
dren. One has but to bathe in
its waters to be cured of the lep
rosy of malevolence, aud to
bask in its sunlight to experience
the beauties aud strength ol
those silken ties which make all
the world akin.
Kindness! what a seemingly
small thing it is to be kind, and
yet, by the very perversity of our
natures, we olten fail lo exercise
it. at the right lime and place. A
kind word how easily spoken, and
what a world ot happiness it
otten confers 1 Kind acts as well
as words possesses an irresistable
potency. Those two twin virtues
of Christianity, where they do
uot spring up spontaneously in
the soul should be cultivated with
assiduous patience. The demons
of harshness and selfishness must
be cast out before we can entei
t.till the kind angels ot charity
