On the Death ►*’
JVIISS JULIA P. M’WHORTER.
BT HER CLASS-MATE, ALICE W. BACON.
She is gone. God sends his gard'ner
To pluck his fairest flowers :
not belong to th e world,
We only called her ours.
She was a sweet and lovely girl,
And in our hearts we cry,
Why did cruel Fate select her ?
* She was too young to die.
We must not think it hard, but say,
“Thy will be done, not mine,
Since the unsparing hand of death
Has claimed her, Lord, as thine.
Weep not, mother, in thy sorrow,
Father, bend not low thy head ,
Tho’ from earth’s cares she is free,
Your Julia is pot dead.
Weep not brothers, tho’ you Ljved her;
She was a jewel far too bright
for this world’s unvarnished easket.
God must take her from our sight.
Weep not, classmates, for our darling,
We will meet her soon in heaven ;
Then again our class will number
( Just the same as here —eleven.
And when the jewc-led gate of heaven,
For us she " ill unclasp,
ghe will be as pure and lovely,
As when we saw her last.
But to the ground we must commit
Her body, and her soul to God,
For he has sent the message,
‘‘Pass under the rod.”
From Waverley Magaaing.

‘•Do you think you are taking the
iright course with that child, tlspsie ?”
asked Mrs. \V alters, while on a visit to
(her friend and school-mate. “1 have
not heard you speak an encouraging
.word to her since l have been here,and
has been several days.”
S "Don’t know as I am,” repliod llcp
sie, in a passion, "but the child vexe
lire so, I cannot have the patience with
dier 1 might if she were different,”
■ •‘Now, Flepsie,’ Mrs 'Voters inter
rupted, ‘we have been tho best of
-friends, and I do not want to say anv
fthing to offend you ; hut. hoping civ
.advice will be kindly received I will
give you a little of it if you will permit
me.’
f ‘Proceed,’ said Hepste, in a less irri
gated tone than at first, ‘I will not take
.offence at anything you may say.’
I ‘Well, Ilepsie, the child, so far as I
.can see, is not vicious, although, per
jjiaps, she is a little headstrong-’
1 ‘I could bear all that,’ put in Hep
.fio, ‘but her intolerable slowness is
what fries me so. Why, my dear, she
will be a whole hour putting on her
shoes and stockings !’
‘I know it is trying to one of your
• temperament, but do you think fret
fulness will cause her to overcome it ?
Instead of telling her, as you frequent
ly do, that she is a miserable drone
who never will be anybody as long as
she lives, wouid it not be better to coax
Jier iotp d°' D E differently? Flatter
(her a |itt)e now and then jvhen she.tries
to uo well, and tell her what a smart
girl she is capable of rnakipg herself,
and I believe she will try to please
you” !.
‘Dear me,’ said Ilepsie, with a sob.
‘I am sorry I ever took the responsibil
ity upon myself of bringing her up !’
‘No use regretting now. Hepsie.—
Your good, noble husband would grieve
to hear you talk like that. He thought
you capable of the charge, or he would
not have placed you in the position he
has; so now, instead of repiniDg or
squandering your time in idle regrets,
make every effort to fulfill his expecta
tions. Vou cannot, perhaps, feel the
same affection toward the child that its
own mother could, had she lived, but
you can, at least, try to do your duty,
and you will, in time, feel a deeper in
terest in her, and an attachment may
spring up between you which you little
dream of. I know the child is famish
ing for the want of a mother’s love.—
After you have laid her in her little
crib for -the night, I have heard her
moaning and sobbing to herself over
t the absence of a good-night kiss
and words of endearment which her
U trail)
own mother was wont to bestow upo.i
her. She is an affectionate little crea
ture, Hepsie, and wants you to love,
her. How she springs into her father’s
arms the moment, he enters the house;
she would do the same by you if you
would only permit her. Will you not,
then, take her to your heart with all
the fondness that a mother should ?
Promise me this before I leave you.’
‘I will try,' was Hepsie f s t.cgrful re
ply.
Four years after, Mrs. Walters visit
ed her friend again. She had not been
an hour ip the house before she saw
the change that had been wrought.—
The droning, unloved child h?d be
come sprightly and was beloved by one
who once could sec no beauty in her,
‘And it is all owing to your advice/
Ilepsie said, rewarding Mrs. Walters
with a kiss. ‘Since your talk with use
I have spoken scarcely a harsh or im
patient word to my little daughter, and
have tried to show her that I really
cared for her, and now ytjn have only
to look at her to behold the transforma
tion. I sometimes think she has real
ly growu beautiful as well as good and
lively.’
‘And her father-—what does he say
in regard to the change ?’
‘Oh, he thanks you unceasingly for
your timely hints, and besides, he loves
me more than ever for being able to
carry out the resolutions I adopted at
the time I received that severe and, as
1 thought, critical lecture. But I am
grateful for it now, nty friend, and
glad 1 did not take your words un
kindly. ’
‘I said them fiir your good, flepsie.”
I know you did. my dear Mrs. Wal
ters. But here comes my husband—
let him thank you for himself ’

Brigham Yeung hadn't been in the
summer land twenty four hours before
he materialized for a Chicago medium.
‘Did you have a good reception over
there ?’ asked the medium.
‘Well pretty good.’ said Mr. Young,
his face assuming a slight look of go
noyance, ‘pretty good, considering.—
You are perhaps aware that I left a
rather numerous family—a good deal
of widow, I may say.”
‘Yes,’said the medium, encouraging
ly at the same time noticing that the
presence rapidly grew excited; there
are nineteen of her altogether. I be
lieve.”
Nine teen,'said the late lamented,
with extraordinary solemnity. ‘Nine
teen, uot counting Ann Eliza. And I
am sorry that I was a Morman. Mark
that, young man ! Polygamy is all right
as long as the man and husband is
alive ; but when that individual perish

pletely knocks tho spots of that sustain
ed society. I shall never recover from
this,’
The corpse sighed deeply and shook
its head.
‘I trust, sir.’ said the medium, some
what confusedly, "they are well and as
miserable as could be expected ?’
‘Not by a jug full !’ said the deceased
husband and father, with extreme vio
lence. ‘That is to say not by an enor
mous amount. Pardon me this rude
ness,’ and the breast of the agitated
presumption rose and fell. ‘Pardon me
this exhibition of weakness, but what
I have seen is enough to arouse the
most peaceful and kind hearted matter
of humanity that evergrossed The riv
er. ’
•Will y u be good snough, sir, to tell
me what the difficulty is?’ said the
medium
•.natter enough !’ said the decea-ed,
bringing his clenched hand down upon
a table with terrible effect. 'There's
number six—what do you suppose she
is doing ? Weeping like a broken
hearted woman, perhaps? Oh, po ; I
guess not, Ilgb hobbling with Jim
Ford, and calculating how,the proper
ty’s goißg to pap out ! That’s the way
she expresses her desire to be buried
in the same grave with the rose of her
existence.’
‘This is dreadful,’ said the medium,
sympathetically. ‘I wouldn’t have
thought it.’
‘And there’s Dumber ten. Fairest

That’s the niannor of water power she
is ?'
‘And as to the others?’ said the me
dium, after a paipful pause.
‘Snipe thing,’ said the blighted coun
terfeit, ‘Same tiling about all of them,
excepting one, and she’s so infernally
ugly that she can’t find a sweetheart in
all Utah.’
‘A.nd you nave no revenge ?’ said the
medium inquiringly.
‘That’s the misery of it!’ quickly re
turned the aniraafed bust. ‘That’s the
—devil of it, if I may so speak. I've
got to look on at these things without
the power to punch a fiead, or swiDg a
horsewhip. All I can do is look on
and howl.’
The perturbed spirit applied a silk
handkerchief to its eyes and sobbed
aloud. There was a noise as a rush of
wind, a suppressed shriek , a puff of

Tli<* jSolitMi-y Mosquito.
The happiest moment in the life
of a mosquito, who is so constitut
ed as to enjoy all there is of this
fleeting existence, is when he makes
the sudden discovery, during
the silent watches, clocks, and
other chronometers of the night
that he, of ell his race,is the
sole occupant of the mosquito
bar. and that there is no one to
divide his banquet with. Reflect,
lor a moment, what is it to be the
only mosquito admitted to bar,
with the privilege of practicing
in all the courts known to mosquito
jurisprudence. A mosquito with
a man all to its self! Uo hurry-‘
itig, no corroding fear that some
other mosquito is getting his work
is ahead of him, uo apprehension
lost there shoulden’t fie enough to
go around, no bolting dpyvn of his 1
dinner in the momentary expecta
tion of the arrival pf a horde of
hungry and .unemployed mosqui
toes, bearing a red banner inscrid
ed. “ Bread or blopd !” Of course,
no mosquito of epicurean tastes
likes to be disturbed in b's dainty
meal. And when a man is exas
perated by a general and simulta
,ne.ous attack.he is apt to tpss and
pitch about, superinducing a fever
of Iplood, which any mosquito of
proper knowledge of hygtene un
derstands renders the blood impure,
and consequently unnutritaus, if'
not positively hurtful. There are
thousands of mosquitoes, we are
confident, limping about at this
moment with health gone and con
stitutions a hopeless wreck, all on
account of ignorance or careless
ness regarding the simplest laws of
health.
Our solitary mosquito with in
the bar is monarch of all ha sur
veys, his right there none to
dispute, unless we except the sleep
ing victim before him, but what is
a drowsy man against a healthy
mosquito? How cooly he eyes his
victim form his position on the
headboad, selecting a point on
which to light. His soul is filled
with joy, and he gently hums that
frmiliar tnue, “He whetshis bill
or draws up anew one, adding
an item here and there. Then be
decends iu easy though eccentric
circles and drops gently down upon
the end of the gontleman’s nose.
If any impatient hand be raised
mechanically to sweep him away,
he only hums good naturedly,—
feeling at hum there, —and gently
retires for a moment, seeming
t say, ‘No hurry at all,old
fellow, take your own time. I
can wait, for the second table if
you like ’ lie even lights on the
mosquito bar and jeers his gaunt
and voracious comrades, wbo are
clinging withithe desperation of
hunger to the outside.
‘Don't you wish you had him,’
he says, indicating who “him’
means by throwing his shoulder
in the direction of tho sleeping
victim. ‘Nice fat fellow, isn’t he ?
and he’s all mine—mine!’— Iris
in Saturday Night-
One mi ilmin,
‘This morning/ remarked Jones : n a
crowd at Guesnard’s corner, “I laid in

egg
‘The devil you did 1' interrupted the
Colonel.
‘You didn’t wait till I got through.’
replied Jones, reddening, as he observ
ed the broad smiles upon the faces of
the by-standers. ‘I laid an egg ”
‘Jones, that’s too thin. The idea of
an old rooster like you laying an egg is
preposterous*’ put in the Major.
‘Well, and nit all, can't you wait
til! a fellow has his say,before you put
in with your confounded interruptions !
I said I laid an egg, this morning ’
‘Precisely/ said the Captain, ‘you
said you laid an egg this morning, and
I don’t believe a word of it.’
‘D n it, I laid an egg on the
mantelpiece ’
‘On the mantelpiece, all
chimed in.
‘Thunder and lightning !’ shouted
Jones, now thoroughly exasperated.—
‘You and n fools, I Im'il mi ctj(j on
the mantelpiece this morning, and it
fell off and didn’t break!’ And the
poor fellow darted down the street be
tween a trot and a gallop. He hasn’t
been seen at Guesnard's corner since.

An old-fashioned minister was
preaching in a tight, unventilated
church in which by some means a
window was left partly open. A
good deacon during the sermon
closed it. The minister stopped,
and turning to the deacon said,
in a solemn tono ; “If I were
preaching in a jug I believe you
would put the cork in.”
