The following stanzas were found in the
author’s pocket, after his death on the field
of battle.
“O World! so few the years we live,
Would that tho life which then dost give
Were life indeed!
A’as ! thy sorrows fall so fast,
Our happiest hour is when at last
The Soul is freed.
“Ourdays are covered o’er with giief,
Ail sorrow s neither few nor brief
Veil all in gloom ;
Left desolate of real good,
Within this cheerless solitude
No pleasures bloom.
“Thy pilgrimage begins in tears,
And ends in bitter doubts and fears,
Or dark despair;
Midway so many toils appear,
That he who lingers longest here
Knows most of care.
*• Thy goods are bought with many a groan,
By the hot sweat of toil alone,
And weary hearts;
Fleet-footed is the approach of woe.
But with a lingering step and slow
Its form departs.”

Thy glowing lip was pressed to miue; in

No reason do I ask that l may know
Why coldly thus thou meet’st my kiss; I go
From thy dear side, and leave thee free to

Thou couldst not lavish on 1113* hungry heart,
Nor will I sta}’ the jealous watch to keep

A LITTLE HERO. '
I have a story to tell my little
readers, of a little hero, which is ev
ery word of it true. A hero is a
brave man—a man lull of spirit,
zeal, and courage. Any man who
has courage and spirit to do right,
to tel 1 the truth, even if it is against
himself; to be honest when he could
make money by cheating ; to be tiue
when lie is tempted to he false, is a
hero. A little hero is a boy *of just
this character. The story I have to
tell you is about just such a boy.—
About six years ago I knew hitn
first. Ho was a small boy from
some country in Europe. His birth
place I did not learn. He had come
to this country and was left alone,
or nearly alone, in St. Louis. He
had no money, and only Ihe dirtiest
and raggeuesi clothes. He could
speak our language only poorly.—
He walked the streets in search of
something to do. At length a kind
hearted grocery man took him in.—
It was here I first saw him. He was
studying an English spelling book at
every odd moment he could get from
his work. A few months afterward
he came to my house to recite les
sons in the evening, which he would
get through the night and day al
snatched moments, all the while sav
ing every cent he could from his
small earnings, to go to a commer
cial college as soon as he was old
enough. When he had saved sixty
dollars he applied, and was admit
ted to the college, and went through
the course. As soon out, he got a
good situation in an insurance office.
To this was soon added the treas
urer’s duties, with a handsome in
crease of salary. His faithfulness,
and ability soon won him a place in
a bank, ala salary of fifteen hun
dred dollars a year. Ina bank he
still is—a boy yet, I should think,
not twenty years old.
This is what I call being a hero.
For a little boy in a strange city,
and among people speaking a strange
language, with all kinds of wicked
ness around him, to clothe, educate,
and keep himself; to resist the idle
ness, play-games, drink, folly,sight
seeing, rudeness, coarseness, vice,
and wickedness which lead thous
ands to ruin; without advisers,
friends, or help ; and so grew up in
purity, virture, and nobleness of
soul, to be an honorable, intelligent,
and useful man, is h degree of hero
ism seldom found. If he is not a
hero, where can one be found ? If
his boyhood is so noble, what will
his manhood be ?
Sro:t and Book Borrowers. —Mr.
Mackenzie, in his “Life of Scott,”
described a novel and happy plan
used by the novelist to prevent the
loss of his books. Whenever he
lent a book, he look a piece of wood
of the exact size of the volume; pas
ted on one of the edges a slip of
paper on which were written the
title of the book, borrower’s name
and place of abode, date of lending,
and day on which it ought to be
relumed; and put this upon the
shelf in the place whence the work
had been removed; and there stood
a record and a reminder until the
volume was relumed.
Live Within Your I£ear.s,
We don’t like stinginess. We
don’t like ‘economy’ when it comes
down to rags and starvation. We
hav<: no sympathy with the notion
that the poor man shoul I hitch him
self to a post and staid still while
the rest of the world moves forward.
It is no man’s duly to deny himself
01 every amusement, every luxury,
every recreation, every comforl,
that he may get licit, li is no man’s
duty to make an iceberg of himself
and to deny himself the enjoyments
that result from generous actions—
merely lhai he may hoard wealth
for his heirs ioquarrel about.
Bui there is yet an economy which
is every man’s duty, and which is
especially commendable in the man
who struggles with poverty —an c
cononiy which is consistent with
happiness, and which must he prac
ticed, if the poor man would secure
independence.
It is every man’s privilege, and it
becomes his duly to live within his
means ; not up to, but within them.
Wealth does not make the man, we
adnrl, and should never be taken
into the account in.our judgment of
men. But competence should be
secured when it can he; and it al
most always can lie by the practice
of economy and self denial to only
a tolerable extent. It should he se
cured, not so much (brothers to look
upon or to raise us in the estimation
of others, as to secure the conscious
ness of independence, and the con
stant satisfaction that is derived from
i ls acquirement and possession.
We would like loi tnpress this sin
gle fact upon the mind ot' every la
boring man who may peruse this
shoit article—ihal it is possiole for
him to rise above poverty, and that
the path to independence, though
beset with toils and self sacrifice, is
much pleasanter to the traveler than
any one he can enter upon.
The man who feels that he is
raining something more than he is
spending, will walk the streets with
a much lighter heart and en.er his
hofiie with a much mote cheerful
cianlenan-e than he who spends as
he goes, or falls gradually behind
his necessities in acquiring the means j
of meeting them.
Next to the slavery of intemper
ance j,ihere is no slavery on earth
more galling than that of poverty
and indebtedness. The man who
is every body’s debtor is every
body’s slave, and in a much worse
condition than he who serves a sin
gle master.
For the sake of the present, then,
as well as for the sake of the future,
v.e would most earnestly urge upon
eve y working man to live within
Bis means. Let him lay by some
thing every day—if but a penny, be
ii a penny —it is belter than nothing,
infinitely belter than running in debt,
a penny a day or a penny a week.
Ts he can earn a dollar lei him try
fairly and faithfully the experiment
of living on ninety cents. He will
line it.
“People will laugh.” Let them
laugh. “They will call me stingy.”
Better call you stingy than say you
do not pay your debts. “They w ill
wonder why I do ngt have belter
furniture, live in a finer house, and
allend concerts and the play-house. M
Let them wonder for a while, it
won’t hurt them, and it certainly
won’t you. By and by you can
It ive a fine house and fine furniture
of your own, and they w ill wonder
pgain, and come billing and cooing
arbund you, like so many pleased
fools. Try the experiment. Live
within your means. —Maine Farmer.
Bright Hours and Gloomy.—
Ah, this beautiful world ! indeed, I
know not what to think of it.-Some
times it is all gladness and sunshine,
and heaven itself lies not far off;
and then it suddenly changes, and is
dark and sorrowful, and the clouds
shut out the day. In the lives of the
saddest of us there are bright days
like this when we feel as if we could
take the great world in our arms.
Then come gloomy hours when the
fire will not burn on our hearths,
and all without and within is dis
mal, cold and dark. Believe me,
every heart has its secret sorrows,
which the world knows not, and oft
en limes we call a man cold when
he is only sad.
Bad company is like a nail driven
into a post which, after the first or
second blow, may be drawn out with
little difficulty; but being driven up
to the head, the pincers cannot take
hold ts draw it out, it can only be
done by the destruction of the wood.
Things You must not do. —Nev-
er abuse one who was once your be
som friend, however bitter now.
Never insult poverty. Never speak
contemptuously of woman. Never
eat a hearty supper. Never stop to
talk in a church aisle after the ser
vice is over. Never smile at the es
of your religion or your Bible.

W hat Constitutes a Providen

winch most ministers are, at some
i- , required to seule. Perhaps
some lig'it may be shed upon it by
the following item, furnished by a
n issiona y of the American Sunday
School Union, in Virginia. He lias
been called on to establish amission
Sunday school in a region of coun*
try known as “Hell Bend,” and
more recently in another place bear
ing the not euphonious or auspicious
appellation of “Rowdy,” with good
u cess in both instances, and is rc
'iiinord by bis experience of that of
j a young Southern rnini-ler, who,
nlinii about to leave the seminary,
received two calls—one from a
huee ami wealthy congregation, the
other from a small band of Chris
tian', reduced in circumstances and
dwelling among a perverse genera*
11,11 • ib- "as asking advice of his
iuln'r, in the hearing of ar. old fam
ily m i van!, which of the two calls
ee snonld accept. Old Sambo spoke
oat and sail : “Massa John, I can
icll you which of dem churches you
miisi go to ; better you go whar dar
is th h ast money and the most deb-
I il.”
A looker-on at our elbow, fresh
from n ailing the report of the late
meeting of .New York lax-payers in
Cooper Hall, over the account of the
Taaiiuury ring, suggests; “Some

1 he Insect ITwlil. —Eveery female
insect, with the single exception of
a few social species, such as honey
bees, and perhaps ants and white
anis (Termite*) perish in the course
oi the same season, after laying their
first and only batch of eggs. Their
i ice is then run, the goal is then
reached, and they retire from the
course, to give place to that new
generation of the same species.
American Elomologist.
Dr. Voelk, of Vienna, who hat
rho reputation ol being more famil
iar with Persian affairs than any
other man in Europe, predicts that
the famine in Persia will have in
the beginning of spring terrible con
sequences for Europe and America,
lie says that the choleia will, in
January, penetrate with redoubled
virulence through the Caucassian
countries into Russia, and spread
tliencc all over the west and south
ol Europe, and- soon after reach
America.
Originally it was the intention of
Emperor Alexander to send the
grand-duke hereditary, and not Al
exis, to the United States. The re*
pugnance of the grand-duchess her
editary, who is a great favorite of
the Emperor, to the project, and the
fact that his eldest son is hardly fas
milar with English, while Prince Al
exis speaks it fluently, caused the
czar to decide in favor of the latter.
The advocates of women’s rights
in Germany are jubilant. An emi
nent jurist, asserts, in the Berlin
Cross Gazette, that the constitution
of t he German Empire confers the
right to vote on every woman over
twenty-one years of age. Other
competent authorities take the same
ground.
