November 12, 19T4, 3 s The BeautituF Gate. The Beautiful Gate of Sleep is hatred ! O Angel within! The panels of pearl with diamond starred, Give back no sound to my feeble knock ; I have no key that will open the door; How long must l wait f O evermore and for ever more, Must I stand at the Beautiful Gate 7 My garments are thin, my sandals worn, Sweet Aangel within! Ho vpiercing the blast, how sharp the storm The night is cheerless ! the wind is wild ! My bruised heart sobs like a pitiful child. How long must I waft 7 O evermore and tore ref*Ttjre, Must I stand at the Beautiful Onte If I wero a Queen I’d give my crown O Angel within! Or famed I’d lay my laurels down ; Or rich, I would yield thee my treasured gold' For thy sweet shelter from rain and cold ; How long must I wait 7 O evermore and forever more, Would I pass through the Beautiful Gato. - Humorous. Do they miss me at home—do they miss me ? ’Twould be an assurance most dear To know that my name was forgotten, As though I had never been there. To know that tho tailor and landlord,' And the banks whore my paper is due, And hosts whom I now canngt mention, Had banished me quite from their view. Do they miss me at home—do they miss me ! When the market for money is tight, And collectors in haste are pursuing Their debtors by day and by night. Do the friends who once loaned me a “fifty,” And others who loaned me a ‘ ten,” Heave a sigh of regret as they miss me, And wish they could see me again. Do they miss m3 at home—do they miss me ? Where no longer I’m seen upon ’Change, And do those who were wont to assist mo Say * llis conduct’s most infernally strange?* Does the Shylock who loaned me his money, To bear me to regions unknown, Look in v*\in lor occasion to.dnn ma, And wish I again were at home ? But I know that my memory lingers Around the dear place aa I roam ; And while I’ve my wits and my creepers —YAuy~y’ll raU* me at Jiome^ WIT and HUMOR.

LADIES SHOULD SEE THAT THESE ItULES ABE STtiICTLY OBSERVED, The gem lemon must be taller than the lady lie intends lo kiss. Take her right hand in yours, and draw her gently to you, pass your left arm over her right sh >ulder, diagonally djo wn her back, and you'have nothing to do but to lean a little.forward and press your lips 10' hers and then the thing is done. Don’t make a noise over ii, as if you were shooting crack ers, not pounce down upon it like a hungry hawk upon an innocent dove, but gently fold the damsel in your arms, without smashing her standing collar, or spoiling her hair, and by a sweet pressure upon her mouth, revel in the blissfulness of your situation, without smacking your lips on it ns you would alter iim bibing the Bacchanalian draught, but like Venus sipping the honey from the lips of--Ob ! Siioo Fly. A LITTLE STORY. BY SCOTT. I’m not going to promise any mor al, neither shill you tin.l anything -particularly immoral in this lit tle story, which happened one day just a little while ago. It is inter esting to me to think about, and if it don't piove so in the reading, its my* fau't in the telling, and not ihe siory’s, but 1 will try my best, and will begiu ibis way. If the earth was beautiful, Agnes Thorne could not see it; nothing, it seemed to her, could be*jnpre dreary arid open one’s eyes on more painful to on at night, this cheerless, blq^^kprld. I am sure the w.>rld been amazed, could it have thoughts this beautiful, morn, for it had never knowingly given our Agnes, this little heroine of mine, a single dark day, indeed, I am prepared to say, that only sun and shine, and the warmest love and care bail surrounded her always ! But hers she sat, right in the haze and warmth of a ripe, summer day, wnh pouting, trembling lips, and a mysteriously damp handkerchief in her idle hands. The wedding shone very bright there, but is gilt and glisten seemed to meet no answering light in her eyes ; indeed, I’m not so sure tears were nut between, and yet tile sun fell through the open window of their little sitting room, hers and John’s, and gave yet a brighter lustra to her sdi, brown hair, ’Twas very s >tt, pretty hair but lor the tears, and I’m afraid I must say the frown, the young trash face was a pretty one, too, bit the singing ol the birds, the odor of the heliotrope just under the window, the nodding of ihe dear old-fashione I pinks, up and down each side of the path, were all unheeded by the tear dimmed eyes, and even in the midst ol all ibis beauty, her lips did say the words that were in ihe heart, ’Tis a dreary world and l hate it.’ ’Twas just one of those common cases, on ly our Agnes was not a common wo -uv.vr,.smJ .-v abtfirs* .> o .k i.n.rt jt rath er hard—this getting used to being snubbed by her husband, I mean, and was threatening in her heart this long day alteorts'of awful tilings to do, unless John did do better, and here the innocent cans; of all these tears and anathemas, was hip py in the conviction of doing tiling in mortal main’s power to make home and wife happy, and quite tho-oughly established in the peace and comforts the conviction of suc«> cesk'brought. Os course he had no time to spend at lioilie, but then ho was miking his way in the world, and by rigid econo riy, never a hoU iday, never a drive, never a concert or ball, they might some day be worth s miethirig in the world, and this lie often said lo Agnes, and when she hinted how much anew shawl or some garment in the mode • would enhance iter appearance, John assured her that she l inked better in the palsse she married in than any other woman could in one ma le of cloth of gold. This vv .s all very well, of course, to bd told liovv fine she looked in his eyes; but it didn’t make ‘‘ole doe” look as well as new —and the squeaky little melodeon in John’s home, was different' from Steinway, at home. True, Johnnie the baby was nice enough, but John never had time to look at him<. and oh! and oh I well I non’t know ex actly what was the matter. Poor little Agnes was weary and dissatis fied,'and wanted to lie petted and kissed, and loved‘a little, I guess, anyhow she felt like many another woman has before her —and I cer tainly shall take her part. And so there she si*, and well, yes —I might as well tell the worst—and cried. Yesterd iv she to’d all tins to her journal (I’m sorry to confess she kept such a thing) and so now she just did like any young foolish ihing, thought' and imagined herself in deeper despTtr than fate even dreamed of sending lier. John came, and she could not find the answering smile to welcome him, nor did she try t.o conceal the vexa tion which crowded in her heart.— They dined in si puce, and John lelt again in silence (or ihe office. Again for tea he came, no words passed be tween them. Once he essayed to take her hand, but she felt her fin- gers diaw up in the shape ol a fist, and involuntarily turned and said words she c>uld never forget, nor yet the look in his mild, astonished eyes. ’Twas far in the night when he cam», and then with his right key*, and pas ed ihe nursery do>r, where she alwas stayed with baby till he came, and so on in si'encc to their roo n. Tncirroom! the very tbougt was and she felt she would never saWia'gjam. Thus far the night had Neen\ spent dis mantling the nurser * of this and that pretty little adornment, and stowing them neatly m this lame traveling trunk, which -vs,- already nearly full of hers and baby’s clothes. She had nut thought of baby, lie slept so ger.tly, ar.d now, as a hai*sh congli and cry came to her ears, she was almost Shocked out of her anger by amazement, that she had letk him sleeping under the open win iov\.— The night had changed—-and a chill ing rain -was falling. She drew tfV; c ib with t-remtling hands into tb<\ in 1 re nerr.hered.with a shtid-’ dsr the terrible nights' they hat!\ brought him through, but still the coughing went on, and finally, in despair, she fl w io John’s room, to Jjnd it vacant, and this note on the Wife ! Ooly this let me sty itr The two years that have been bliss to mi, have been torture to yon—l shall never forget your words —your young life shall not be wast ed. May God bless you, and may you lie It tppy, is tbe heart broken prayer of (just this once, darling.) Your Husband. The tears that can>e : now to our Agnes’ eyes were oh ! so diderent from the ones the summer noonday saw. Now was tho world dark in deed. The picking was forgotten in little Jonnnie’s moans and cries and soon after the gay morning i-ame,' baby had found a brighter morning, one that never fades to night,‘even beyond the suit's rising, and where it never set-. Oh ! that terrible day ; the longing that John should cone and. see the little, white, cold laCc. that he would only come; and there in ibis little silent presence, help her to begin anew, show her h >w, now that her heart was desolaie, to take up-the burdens of life, and thankful for the blessings God sent. Again she looked through her tears from the little sitting room window with a more broken feeling in-her bre.ist than. had ever Come to Iter before; she felt tho words, “Oh! John” fluttering from her.lips when the little gate opetiedf and some men, atuYnmieW tfietn Deal - ing something' between them ’ Twas John, she knew instantly, all bruised and torn, and dying, or dea l —from some' accident—’twas her her John, and he Jid not know ba by was gone —’twas her John, a'l gone from her, and not in love. •Oh ! I cannot, cannot, she said aloud’ -and opening he eyes, (ouad her own Joint smiling into her own, and heard him joyously say, -‘what'! "cannot kis3 me on our anniversary, nor thank me lor the new piano these fine fellows have brought from the train ? and where’s sou V Ol course she could not speak for awhill; and then I’m afraid you you will think she did not act like a heroine, t%r she cried a great <3-*al more, and'kissed big John and little John nil l thought she’d smother them both—and there were the men oil the little porch—she had seen in her dream, bringing John, only ’twas the piano, and though the sun was a little lower in the sky, the woiid 8-emed never so bright before, nor ihe hel otrope so sweep, and John, oh! John ! how good h * seemed, and the baby, how beauti ful ! Her bitter thoughts had car ried her to dream land, and there all this sorrow met her, but after thai dream she opened her eyes on such a dilerent world, a.id she told me herself,-with many a girlish laugh, what I’m almost ashamed ta tell you; that John read her journal that morning before she was awake, and that accounted for the new piano, thousands of other sweet, dear things that happened to her, ’Twas a long, long time before she told John her dream—and he did not even then get courage to tell her he read: her journal—but she knew it—yoa; see by a few tears she fould there— which never came from her eyes—- I met them to-day in the Park—and she looked so sweet andhappy—an I did not have on the weddtn pelisses. She’s a dear sweet little woman— and though John didnh metn any thing—of course, I think its hard to spend one’s youth getting on in the world, for— lo ! when you have got 1 - t nos the world, you have gotten of age as well—and so what does ii matter: ’Tis liks waiting to enjoy a-rose til! the leaves are all fallen— and th* n you have but the stem— and poss.by a thorn—too. 1 think even little Johnnie enjoyed the changed and I’m sure big John did.| If liappim-ss don’t help to get on in the world—\vh tt does ?

A prisoner condemned to solitary confinement obtained a Bible and.by three years’ careful study obtained ibe following facts: The Bible contains 3,585,499 let*, ters, words. 31,173 versas, i -1189 chapters and 66 books Trie word "and’’ occurs 43.277 i times. | The word Lord occurs I,S» ■ times. .

The I9th edapter of 11 Kings and the 37th chapter of Isaiah are alike. The longest verse is the 9Lh vcr.se cl the Bth chap rof Esther, The shortest verse is the 35ih verse of. the llih chapter of St. John. The Sth, 15th, 21st, and 31st ver* st sos the 107th Fsalm are alike. Each verse of the 13Gth Psalm ends alike. There are no words or names of more than six syllables. Aim and Purpose. It is imt to contemplate an aimless and purposeless exist) nee—Jol iet youth gnding by, hastening by. wasting precious opportunites, no aim, no object in view, just like a ship under full sail and well manned but no rudder, only drifting, no har* hor in view, going with the tide, or perhaps with rudder in good work ing order, but no port in view, only sailing you know not wh ire. Have an aim in lde, and a noble one. Aim high and you will hie something above your level. Are you a student? Be not satisfi and to get through your studies or recitations without cen sure from your teacher, but Btu!, hard to aeq lit yo irself with honor but not content to creep along or the level, but walk, yea, run even up the rugge 1 hill where honor sit teih at the pe ik.

First have a t object, aim high, and then zetlously labor to accomplish your object; -success is sure to lollovv earnest, unceasing- toil. The con*, ti stints ii the Isthmian races had an ouj.’ct in view, an l every sinew and nerve was bent to obtain the ob ject. It was the crown at the end of the nee.

Those who dally will never rea;h the ob ject, but will f til at last. Read*r, have a- noble object in view, and then with all y >ur might press tor*, ward un il you reach it, and it is yours. Gor.a Oat Forever. Like drooping, dying stirs, our dearly love l ones go a.vay from onr sight. The stars of our hopes, otr ambitions; our prayers, whose light ever shines before us, suddenly pale in the firmamsnt of our hearts, and their place is empty, old and dark. A mother's steady, soli, and earnest light, that beamed through win s and sorrows :-*i father's strong, quick light, that kept our feet fro n stum bling in the dark and treacherous ways; a sister’s light, s> mild, s> pure, sj constant and so firm, slim ing upon us from gentle, loving eyes and pcrsuadiDgus to grace and good ness—a brother’s light, forever sleeping in our soul and illuminating our goings and comings—-a friend’s light, true and trusty —gone out lor ever. No! the light has not gone out. It is shining beyong the stars, where there is no .night aytd no dark ness forever and forever. ' - Affliction,—- Stiangely do some people talk of ‘getting over’ a great sorrow—overleaping it, passing it by* —thrusting it into oblivion. Not so. Not one ever does that—at least no nature which can be touched by the ■ feeling of grief at all. The only way' is to pass through the ocean of afflic tion solemnly, s ! ovvly and with Irs miliiy and faith, as the Israelites pissed through the sea. Ttien its very waves of misery will divide and become to Us a wall on the right,«uj left side, until the gulf tnrrows' an I narrows before ourey-s.
