THE ORPHAN ROY.
Ilroth, r Ecncau.—' Tlie following is said to
be tlio composition of an orphan boy about
twelve years old. It will certainly be in

they will all memorize, and learn to sing il
too. It sin;;s very feelingly lo that good
old tune we so often slug to “ the Dying
Thief," viz: “As on the Cross the Saviour
Hung,” &e. it is generally known l>y the
name of" Auld Lang Byne.”
My parents died when 1 was young,
And left me here alone;
Without a guardian or a friend
To guide me lionto to Heaven.
My ft 1? nds art gone, and I'm alone.
In this dark vale of tears;
We’re parted here a little while,
Hut soon we’ll meet in Heaven.
An orphan here, 1 lonely dwell,
In tliis poor world of sin;
Rut Jesus is my Guardian friend,
To guide me homo to Heaven.
Through tribulations deep and broad.
I’m destined here to go—
O’er mountains high, and waters deep.
I'm trav'ling home to Heaven.
Farewell, farewell, I’m going home,
To meet niv parents there :
Ten thousand years may roll away,
We’ll part no more in Ileavon.
Home to Heaven I soon shall go,
To live with angels there;
Ttiis holy and this happy thought,
Rtill he irs me on to Heaven.
The elouds disperse, tlie light appears;
My las are all forgiven:
Roll on ye suns, fly swift ye years,
And bring me home to Heaven.

Tlie hope, tlie glorious hope,
The hope, through Jesus given,
The hope, when days and years are past,
AVe all shall meet in Heaven.

Only a boy, with his fearful tread,

THE HUSBAND’S SOLILOQUY.
Lovely woman, sweet and human!
How tier witching ways disarm us !
Bright and witty—what a pity
That her bills should so alarm ns!
Charming creature! liow each feature
Lights up with ecstatic pleasures!
(Harmless passion) when Dame Fashion
Brings to view her latest treasures!
Bilks and laces! how her face is
Radiant as tlie sunlight dawning;
Eyes are glancing, curls are dancing.
And her brow is like the morning!
Daily shopping—money dropping
Fast from white and dainty fingers,
Wants explicit—taste exquisite;
1 low the happy shopper lingers!
Ah! ’tis cruel, when a jewel
Might light up sweet home a (lectio®,
Thus to splutter, scold and flutter.
When wife hints in that direction!
Woman tender, who can render
Too much joy to match her beauty ?
How con dresses or caresses
Half repay lict love and duty!
Then, Dame Fashion, nut the. lash on.
Urge your steels of during mettle ;
Lovely woman, sweet and human.
Must have dn and we must settle!

A TRUE KTCIUY AND NO FICTION.
Ono colil, tvimly morning, the last
Sunday in December, 1347, a half
naked man Knocked timidly at the
basement door of a line substantial
mansion in the city of l)rooklyn s
Though the weather wan bitter even
tor Hie season, the young man hail no
clothing but a pair of tagged cloth
pants and the remains of a flannel
shirt, in many large rents, and which
exposed his muscular chest, lint, in •
spite of his tattered apparel and evi
dent fatigue, as he leaned heavily
upon the railing of the basement
stairs, a critical observer could not
faitto police a conscious air of digni
ty, and tlie niavkwt traces of cultiva
tion and refinement in his pale and
haggard countenance.
The door was speedily opened, and
disclosed a comfortably furnished
room with its glowing grate of anthra
cite, before which was placed a luxu
riously furnished breakfast tabic. A
fashionably ati-ired young man, in a
brocade dressing gown and velvet
slippers, was reclining in a soft fau
tcuil busily reading the morning pa
pers. The beautiful young wife had
lingered at the table, giving to the
servant in waiting her orders for the
household matters of the day, when
the timid rap at tlie door attracted
her attention. She commanded it to
be opened; but the young master of
the mansion replied that it was quite
useless—being t:o one but a thievish
beggar. Rut the door was already
opened, and the sympathies of Mrs.
Maywood enlisted at onee.
“ Come in lo the lire,” cried the
young wife, impulsively, "before you
perish!’’
The mendicant, without exhibiting
any surprise at such unusual treat
ment of asti t ct beggar, slowly entered
the room, and manifesting a painful
weakness at every step. On bis en
trance, Mr. Maywood, with a dis
pleased air, gathered up his papers
and left the apartment. The com
passionate lady unwisely placed the
half-frozen man near tlie lire, while
she prepared a bowl of fragrant cof
fee, which, with abundant food, was
placed before him. Hut noticing the
abrupt departure of her husband, Mrs.
Maywood with a clouded counte
nance left the room, whispering to the
servant lo remain until the stranger
should leave.
She then ran hastily up the richly
mounted staircase and paused before
the entrance of a small laboratory and
medical library, occupied solely by
her linsbatfU, w ho was a physician and
practical chemist. She opened the
door and entered the room. Mr.
Maywood wa • sitting nt a small talie
with his head resting on Ida hands,
apparently in deep thought.
“ Edward,” said the young wife,
gently touching his arm, “ i fear 1
have displeased you; but the tu.-ii
looked so wretched 1 could not bear
lo drive him at) ay,” and her sweet
voice trembled as she added—“ A ou
know I take tlie sacrament to-day.’’
"Dear Mary,” replied the really
fond husband’ “ l appreciate your
motives, i know it is pure goodness
of heart which leads you to disobey
me, but still I must insist upon my
former commands—that no beggar
shall ever be permitted to enter the
house. It is for your safety that !
insist upon it. liow deeply you might
be imposed upon, in my frequent al>-
seueo from home, 1 shtuldi r to think.
The mau who is below may be a bur
glar in disguise, and already in your
absence taking impressions in wax of
‘the difl’erent key-holes in the. room,
no as to cuter som" night at his leis
ure. Your limited experience of city
life makes it difficult for you to credit
oo much depravity. It is no charity
to give to street beggars; it only en
courages vice, dearest.
“it may be so,” responded Mrs.
Maywood, “but it seems wicked not
l« relieve Buffering and want, even if
the person has behaved badly, and we
know it. Hut i promise you not to
ask another beggar into too house.”
At this moment tlie servant rapped
viocntly at the door, crying out that
the beggar was dying.
“Come, Edward, your skill can
save him, I know,” said his wife, has
tening from the room. ■
The doctor did not refuse this ap
peal to his professional vanity, for lie
immediately followed her lb. ing foot
steps as she descended to the base
ment. They found the mendicant
lying pale and unconscious ujion the
carpet, where he had slipped in iiis
weakness from the chair where Mrs.
Mnvwood had seated him.
“Ho is a handsome fellow,” muttered
the doctor, as he licnl over him to as
certain the state of his pulse.
And well he might say so. The
glossy locks of raven hair had fallen
away from a broad white forehead;
his closed eyelids were bordered by
long raven lashes, which lay like a
silken fringe iq»oii his pale, bronzed
cheeks, while a delicate aquiLißs nose,
and a square massive chin, displayed
a model of manly beauty.
“Is he dead ?” asked the young
wife anxiously.
“ Oh. no: it is oirij a faulting fit in
duced liy the sudden change of tem
perature, and, jm .imps, the first stage
of starvation,” replied the doctor sym
palhizitigly. He had forgotten for
tlie moment his cold maxims of pru
dence, and added, “ lie must lie car
ried to a warm room without a fire,
and placed in a comfortable lied.”
The coachman w called in to as
sist iu lilting the athletic stranger,
who was soon earn dto a room in the
chambers, where the doctor adminis
tered with his own hands poll wine
Thu young man soon be
came partly conscious; but all con
versation was forbade him, and ho
sank quietly to sleep.
“ lie is doing well; let him rest as
long as he can; should lie awake in
our nbceuce, give him beef tea and
tom t ad said the doctor pro
Jfesstoually, at. hi win the room.
In less than an hour afterwards,
Dr. Maywood and his lovely wife en
tered the gorgeous^hurch of the Most
Holy Trinity.
Amid the hundreds of fair dames
that entered its broad portals, dressed
with all the taste and magnificence
that abundaut wealth could procure,
not one rivalled in grace and beauty
the orphan bride oi the rich physician.
Her tall, graceful figure was robed iu
a velvet silk tlmt only heightened by
contrast her azure eyes, bright witli
the lustre of youthful happiness, yet
there was a touch of tender pity iu
their thuoping lids that won the con
fidence of overyltcboldcr. The snowy
ermine mantilla, which protected her
from Li piercing wind, rivalled, but
could not surpass, the delicate purity
of her complexion.
Many admiring eyes followed the
faultless figure of Mrs. Maywood, as
site moved with tim-ons. ions grace up
the central aisle of tli t church, but
none with more heartfelt devotion
than the voting, wayward, but gener
ous titan, who had recently wed her in
spite of her poverty and the sneers of
Ids aristocratic acquaintance.
The (Lately o;g n had pealed its
last rich notes, which were still faintly
echoing in the distant arches, when a
stranger of venerable aspect, who had
previously taken part in the services
of the alia, rose and announced for
his text the oil-quoted, but seldom
applied words of the Apostle:
“He not forgetful to entertain stran
gers, for thereby some have enter
tained m\ la unawares.”
Dr. Mi y wood felt his forehead flush
painfully; il appeared to him for tlie
moment that the preacher must have
known hit want of charity toward
strangers, and wished lb give him a
public lc. on ; but he soon saw front
the tenor of his remark;., that Ins own
guilty c' i:Peicnce had alone made the
application in this particular case. 1
have not space, nor the power to give
any synopsis of tlie sermon; but that
il, combined with the incident of the
morning, •.elected a happy revolution
in the minds of at least one of its
hearers— so muvii so, that on the re
turn of l>r. May wood front church he
repaired ut otve to the room of the
mendicant, to oil- r such attentions as
lie might aland in need of. Hut the
young man him tiled to lie much re
freshed bv n !. and millions food,
and conime; 'id gratefully thanking
the host for. the kind attentions he
had received, which, without doubt,
lmd saved bin life.
“ 1 am not the beggar that l seem,”
said lie. “ 1 was shipwrecked on Fri
day night in the (ft can L ave, on my
return from India. My name was
doubtless among the list of the lost—
for 1 escaped trout the waves by a
miracle. 1 attempted lo make my
way lo New York, where l have ample
funds in bank now awaiting my or
ders; lint I must have perished from
cold and hunger, bail it not linen for

I was ropuis '• ■from every door as an
impostor, and could get neither food
nor rest. To hu a:i nxdo from one’s
native land ten ye.u and then, after
escaping from the perils of the ocean,
to die of hunger in the .sljects of a
Christian city. I felt was truly a bitter
fate. My name is Arthur AYillct,”
added the stranger.
“ Why that's my v, ifo's family name
—she will be pleased at her agency in
your recovery.”
“Os what State is she a native?”
asked Arthur Willet eagerly.
“ 1 married her in the town of 11 ,
where she was born.”
At this moment, Airs. Maywood
entered the room, surprised at tlie
long absence of her husband.
Arthur Willet gazed at her with a
look of wild surprise, murmuring—
“lt cannot be—it e: nnot be. lain
delirious to think so.”
Mrs. Maywood gazed with little less
astonishment.
“AVti-t painful mystery is this?”
cried Dr. Maywood excitedly, address
ing his wife, who then lioeamc con
scious of the singularity of her con
duct.
“Oh, no mystery,” she replied,
sighing deeply, “ only this stranger is
the very image of my long lost
brother, Arthur.” And Mrs. May
wood, overcome with emotion, turned
to leave the room.
“Stay ono moment,” pleaded the
stranger, drawing a small fttourning
ring from his finger, and holding it
up, asked if she recognized that relic?
She shrieked aloud, “Merciful
Heaven! It is my father’s gray hair!
and you arc—”
His son, Arthur Willet, and your
long lost brother!”
Mary Willet Maywood fell upon the
mendicant’s breast, shedding tears of
sweetest joy and thanksgiving.
Dr. Maywood joined in cordial con
gratulation and sympathy, and re
tired from the sacred hour of re
union, saying to himself
“ Be not forgetful to entertain stran
gers, for thereby some have entertained
angels unawares.”

that of dead dogs, is used in the man

Under this head, the Chicago Pro
hibitionist relates the following sad
ease, which yvc wish every young lady
could be induced to heed, and every
mau lo take warning from;
“On Saturday evening last, be
tween seven and eight o’clock, while
some gentlemen were passing along
Wabash avenue, they observed a man,
whom they supposed intoxicated, stapd
ing with ids arms aliout the trunk of
a tree. They approached, shook hidij
and to their horror found that he was
dead. Tlie men knew hint well. The
body was taken by the proper officials
to the armory, to aYVait an inquest on
Sabbath morning. The wife of ,thc
mau was summoned from the test
dcncc of her father, to look upon oil
tlmt. remained of a once noble and
beloved husband.
“Only a few years ago, Geofge

of our prosperous citizens. The mar :
liage ceremonies were solemnized iq
one of the most aristrocratic churches
on A\ abash avenue. The edifice was
decorated for the occasion; carpets
were laid upon tlie stdotvalks, as if tc
prevent contact with a rugged world.
Every accessory that wealth could
bring was called into requisition, to
lend grace ami charm to the festive
occasion. To all outward appear

most promising auguries. Tlie angel

upon Itis vision. What past within
that crazed mind for tlie few minutes
that intervened between the falling of

the blackboard of eternal record
Near the aristocratic church, near the
