COLUMBUB HEARD, Aim’r Jan 16, IG4B—4od« POETRY. THE l)VI\« MOJIIF.R. We were weeping round her pillow. For we knew that site must die- It was night within our bosoms— It was uight upon the sky. There were seven of us children, I /lie oldest one of all .- So I tried to wldspar comfort, But the bliuding tears would fall. On tny knees my little brother Leaned his aching brow and wept, And my sister’s long black tresses O'er my heaviug bosom swept. The shadow of an awful fear Came o'er mo as I trod, To lay the burden of our grief Before the tbroift es Gfoil. “Oh, be kind to one another,” Was He mother's pleading prayer. As her hand lay like a snow flake, On the baby’s golden hair. Then a glory round her forehead, Like the glory of a crown, And in the silent sea of death The star of life w.nt down. Her latest breath was borne away Upon that loving prayer; And the hand grew heavier—paler, In th< baby's golden hair. A WEDDING UGHT KIUKT .It wasn’t hardly the fair thing that the boys did to Joe Thompson tbc night he was [hurried, but (he temptation was irresistible - They couldn't have helped it to save their lives. I'll tell yon how it was. Joe was about the most fancy dressed buck in tbe town—over nice and particular -—a perfect Miss Nancy 'in manners, always putting on air.-?; and more dainty and mod est than a girl. Well, when his wedding night camp, he, was dressed trunk empty, ' ~ i -* r ->r»• they had been moulds, and his legs candles, and run Into them. Tight was no name for them. Their 6et wns immense, and he was prouder than half a dozen peacocks. ‘Aren't they nice, boys?’ he asked of the two who were to be groomsmen and sec that he threw himself away in the most approv- J ed - fashion. i ‘Ntunning! Gorgeous I' replied Tom Ben i net. Never saw anything equal to them.— j But, 1 say, Joe aren’t they just the least j bit tight ? It strikes me that yon will have |some difficulty in bending—won’t you?’ j ‘Pshaw, no! They acre as easy as aid glove-. Seel To prove the tmDtcr, hfe bcu‘. down so as to touch his - patent leather*, whan crack '. crack! followed like Ihe twin reports of a revolver, ‘Thunder /’ exclaimed Joe, ts he clapped his hands behind, and found a rent in the oassirnore from stem to stera. Thunder/ the pants have burst, aud what shall I do?’ •I should rather think they had,’ answer ed Tom, getting purple in the face, as he endeavored to control his laughter. ‘But there is no time to get anothur pair. It only wants a half an hour lo the standing up time, ami we have got a mile to go. Carriage waiting, too - ’ ■What shall I dot-T-what shall. J do?' •I’ll tell yon wliatj'Joe, if mine would pt you you should have them in welcom“: but they are about a roue too big —would set like a shirt on a bean-pole. 1 see no way but to have them mended.’ ‘Who can I get to do it, Tom V ‘Well, I am something of a tajlor, aoj can fix them, so that ihcy won't show.— Hold on a minute, r-.d 1 11 get a ueedie and thread.’ ‘You cm ?’ J/ay heaven bless you. ’ ‘Off wi th your coat,’ commanded Tom j as he came back. i ‘Now lay yohrsidf over on the bed, and I | will fix you in short order.’ I The comnumd was obeyed—the pants I mended—the coat tails carefully pinned I over, so as to conceal the ‘distress for rent, 1 and all went mern as a marriage bell, un til Jovr follow and his blushing bride to the I nuptial couch. ! There was only a dim light ia the room I but It enabled Joe, as he glanced bashfully {arouud, to see the sweetest face in the t world, the rosy cheeks and ripe lips, the J lovely aud loving blue eyes, and the golden r cuils just peeping from out the snow sheets) and he extinguished it aUogetber, and has tened to disrobe hitnseir. Off came coat, vest, fancy neck-tie and collar, boots and socks in a burry, but somehow the paats stuck. The more he tried, the room they wouldn’t come, and he tugged vaiuly for half an hour. •Thunder!’ muttered be.* •What ia the matter, dear” came lathe softest of accents from the bed, where some body was wondering if he »»s srir coming to her arms. It was a moment of desperation Ju® w -‘ s ( entirely overcome by the situation, and | forgetting lis accustom'd btshfulhess, blus , tend out: •Molfy, that cursed Tom Bennett has -cw- ed my pants, drawers, shirt and undershirt all together /’ ‘lt is too l)-d Y.'nit a mom'-ut, dear.' A little stufkineless foot lirst peeped out. then a ruflhd night-fram; the lamp was 1 lighted, a pair of soissors found. Joe re leased, and. although ho dinted it. Tom Bennett 'wears, that his ns (Ming shirt was of the shortest possible length, reasoning a faster tori f UII. Avery funny Incident occurred not a thousand miles from this city a s few day* since, and one which is too good to be lost. On ;of our celebrated composers has writ' ten a very pretty song entitled ‘Kiss me.’ - Avery pretty, blushing maid, having heard of the song, and thinking she would get i l , with some olhers, stepped into a music store to make,a purchase, , One of tbe clerks a modest young roan, stepped up lo wait on h -r. The young lady threw her vail buck, saving; “I want -■ Rook me to Sleep-’” The clerk got the song aud put U before ■her. .‘•Now,’’ said the y. r.ug lady, “/want the ‘Waud-ring Ruiugee.’ ” “Yes, ma'am,” said th-.- clerk, bowing, and in a few, ip.nulcs he produced the 'Re. fugee.’ “Now, ‘Kiss Me,’ ” said tb« young Indy, of course meaning the song above mention ed. The poor clerk’s eyes popped Grc almost, as he looked at the young lady iu utter as* tonishment, for he was nut aware of the feet that a Song by that name had bce.i written. “Wh—what did yon say, Miss ?” “A'm Mt I” she said. “I can’t do it- I never kissed a young la dy in my lift),'” said the clerk. And about that time a veil dropped, 8 young lady left in a hurry, clerk felt sick, aud dealer lost the sale of soxe music.— Extract from 9biul>p’s Sermon. “Ntrato am de road, an’ narrow am de pad' which lead off to Glory 1” Bredrcn Blsvers;—Y'u am sensible dis mte In cnm’ng to hoar de word and have it splained and monstratifd toyu; yes yu is; and I tend for to splain it as de light of lik en day.

Hope suits itself to every condi* tion of man. It attends the tiavcK er on the car of time, brushing away his dark misfortunes, and in a tone far sweeter than the syren’s voice, bids him onto see'o9 of lu> ture glory. How often it happen that, just as all our bright anticipa tions seem about o be realized, and tho day-star oi our happiness seems to have reached its zenith, while the world appears spread out before us in ulLits Eden brightness and wo reach forth our hand to grasp the proffered bliss, that just then some relentless power, with one wanton stroke, dashes ail from our view. How dark, indeed, does the world then ficem, as we go tot tering down declivity of black de' spair, while nothing is hoard but die mournlnl echo, lost ! lost ! But then, far brighter than any of tho myriad worlds that bedeck the midnight sky, appears the star of Hope, and with its ever helping hand raises us from our pinking condition, and points us to a bright er future. While tho hope that illumines the' world has such an influence over the mind of man, how much sweet er must be the Christian h«pe.— We arc often tempo.-.t-tossed on our passage home, Troops of temp tation assail us on every hand, and we seem almost readv to mabo ship wreck of our taitb. But just then --fame beams upon m- And bids us tr, sncTMM tho Ww®* HFH shall safely moor our bark on tbc shores of the land celestial, and clasp in love's warm ernbraco the dear ones that await onr coming.
