my vnte'a h»m«.
Every night when the stars coroe out,
And the birds gave gone to rest,
A little hand like a cooing dove,
Nestles about my breast ;
Smooths my forehead, and pats my check,
Tosses its finger-tips
Over my cyc-lids and thro’ my hair.
Lingering on my I>P S >
Clings to my neck and clasps tnv arm,
Till tired of its caress
And fallen asleep within my own,
That pore white hand I press 1
Many a year has como and gone
That tittle hand is cold ;
Children's children are on my knee,
*And I am growing old,
Yet, each night as tho 6tars come out,
And I near the heavenly land,
I feel as I felt in my early days—
Tbu’touch of that gentle hand.”
>‘ROCK OP AGES.”
. Seldom have we read a swoeter illustra
tion of the thoughtless and the experimen
tal way of singing this precious hymn,
than that which is embodied In the follow
ing anonymous verses, wh:ch we take from
an exchange T
“Itock of Ages, cleft for me,"
Thoughtlessly the maiden sung ;
Kell the words unconsciously
From her girlish tongue ;
Sang as little children sing ;
Sang as sing the birds in June ;
Kell the words like light leaves down
Ou the current of the tune—
“Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in the Thee.”
“Let me hide myself in Thee,”
Felt her soul no need to bide ;
Sweet tho song ns song could be—
And she had no thought beside,
All the words uubccdingly
Fell from lips untouched by care,
Dreaming not they each might be
On some other lips a prayer—
••Hock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.”
‘‘Rock of Ages, cleft foi me”—
’Twas a woman sung them now,
Sang them slow and wearily—
Wan hand on her aching brow,
Hose tbe song as Btorm tossed bird
Boats with wcaiy wing tho air, -
Every note with sorrow stired—
Every syllable a prayer—
“Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Lot mo bide myself iu Thee.”
“Rock of Ages, cieft for me”—
laps grown aged sung the hymn
Trustingly and tenderly—
Voice grown weak and eyes grown dim,
“Let me hide myself in the.”
Trembling though the voico and low,
Ran the sweet strain peacefully,
Like a river in its (low,
Sung as only they can sing
Who life’s thorny paths have pressed;
Snug as only they can sing
Who behold tho promised rest—
“Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let mo hide myself in Thco.”
“Rock of Ages, cleft for me,”
Sung above a coffin lid ;
Underneath, all rcstfully,
All life’s joys and sorrows Jiid,
Nevermore, 0 storm-tossed soul!
Nevermore from wind or tide,
Novormoro from billowe roll,
Wilt thou need to hide,
Could tho Bightless, sunken eyes,
Closed beneath the soft gray hair :
Could the mute and stiffened lips
Move again in pleading prayer,
Silli, aye, still the words would be,
“Let mo hido myself in Thee.”
A Wronged and Deceived Wife-
it npon the floor and sprang npon it
with her heels, as though it were a
snake, and ground it into the carpet,
then with clenched hand compressed
lips, she strode rspidlj bad: and forth
across the room, ever and anon ma
king a move as if to spring like a firry
npon her husband, who with a paper
over his face, was apparently sound
asleep, dreaming, perhaps, of the wick
ed temptress that had come between
him and his fond wife- Presently a
reaction took place, and the wretched
woman sank into a chair and found
relief in that blissful panacea for fe
male ills—a flood of tears.
Grown calmer after awbile, she pick
ed np the rumpled letter, smoothed
out the creases, and with an air of
mingled despair and resignation, look
ed for the signature.
‘Your ever loving and devoted, but
poor, apprehensive—.’
‘Whats this ! Flut—flut—tering
birdie. A-d-a—Ada. Why bless
me ! this is one of my old letters to
George !—What a fool I—.’
A sound from the sofa, first escap
ing steam, and then like a car rat-
t.ing over the stony street, assured her
that her ridiculous actions had been
witnessed by her husband. Bnrning
with shame, the foolish woman flew to
her room and locked herself in, and
she is almost as miserable now as
when she felt that she was a wronged
and deceived wife.
Pretty Ornaments,
1848 Twenty-ninth Year- 1874.
iTHE
Home Journal,
ENLARGED AND IMPROVED.
“The Best Literary*and Society-
Paper in America.”
A pretty mantlepiece ornament may
be obtained by suspending an acorn
by a piece of thread tied around it,
within half an inch of the surface of
some water contained in a vase, tum
bler or saucer, and allowing it to re
main undisturbed for several weeks.
It will soon burst open, and small
roots will seek the water; a straight
and tapering stem with beautiful glos
sy green leaves will shoot upward and
present a very pleasant appearance.—
Chesnut trees may be grown in the
same manner, but their leaves are not
so beautiful as those of the oak. The
water should be changed once
month, taking care to supply water of
the same warmth,bits of charcoal added
to it will prevent the water from sour
ing. If the little leaves turn yellow
add one drop of ammonia into the’
utensil which holds the water, and
they will tcdcw their luxuriance. An
other pretty ornament is made by wet
ting a sponge and sprinkling it with
canary, hemp, grass and other seeds.
The sponge should be refreshed with
water daily so as to be kept moist. In
a few days the seeds will germinate,
and the sponge will soon be covered
with a mass of green foliage.—Scicn
tific American.
From the Brunswicker.
A tired husband went home from
work last uight, and taking off his qoat,
requested his wife to mend a rent in
the sleeve, then sank upon the sofa
behind the evening paper. Wife like,
she took up the coat; woman like, she
divided into the pockets. From the
inside pocket she drew forth alet-
tcr, directed in delicate chirography
to her husband. With darkening
brow, she quicdly took tho suspicious
looking missive from the envelope and
without noticing the date, began to
read :
‘‘Dear Georqe—I am lonely, oh,
so lonely, since you left me last Thurs
day night."
‘Ah, ha! that was Lodge night, he
told me/ said the now thoroughly inter
ested woman, as she glanced vicious
ly over at her husband, who appeared
to be just fallen to sleep. ‘Oh, how
can you sleep with the weight of this
deep sin upon you! But I’ll see what
more the brazen huzzey has to say, if
it kills me!’
With one hand pressed to her throb
bing heart she read on :
‘I know I am foolish, darling but
when you arc away there seems to be
a barrier between mo and all that is
bright and lovely. The sun does not
shine half so bright, the moon is bat a
white spot in the sky, and the stars
stare coldly down, when you are not
with me, lord of life and heart.”
“Was it for this ? Was it for this?”
moaned the unhappy wife.
‘Fortune speed the day when we
may be united in these indissoluble
bonds that are sacred in the eyes of
Heaven and earth—.’
‘What mockery! Docs he or she
consider that his vows made to me are
not sacred ? What are they going to
do with mo anyway, I wonder ? Pois
on, perhaps. Oh, false, false, perfi-
dous man ! Oh, wieked, hellish, de
signing woman!’ Still the suffering
woman read the letter, though each
word burned to asbes a thousand hopes
and joys.
‘When we need no more meet clan
destinely, and tremble in each other’s
embrace—.’
‘I’d make you tremble, if I had you
in my embrace a minuter—.’
( W hen my head may be pillowed in
safety upon your breast—.’
‘The fiendess.’
and your arms twine in lovin' 1
urc about me—.’
Judge Field tells us an amusin
story of Mrs. Pieice Butler (Fannie
Kemble) during her visit to Stock-
bridge, Mass., a few years since. She
was talking to the Rev. Dr. Parker,
and the Rev. Justin Field, both cler
gymen of the Protestant Episcopal
church and her subject was horses, of
which she was passionately fond. The
conversation soon passed to war
or cavalry horses. “By-tbe-by” she
went on to say, “that reminds me that
the last time I was in England I met
Sir Harry Smith. He told me he was
captain of horse at Waterloo, but that
his command was not called into ac
tion during the day. In the afternoon,
Duke of Wellington, at the head of
his staff, rode up to where he was and
and called to Sir Harry to move com
mand. Now, the Colonel knew noth
ing of the fortunes of the day, so sa
luting the Iron Duke, he asked, ‘In
which direction?’ ‘Forward my God !’
thundered Wellington.’ As she spoke,
Fanny Kemble arose with the air of a
tragedy queen, and electrified her
reverend listeners by her words and ac
tion, then seated herself again and re.
sumed the conversation.
Queen Victoria is now in the 27th
year of her reign and the 55th year
of her age. She has 9 children, and
21 grand children.
It is said that Dr. Livingstone has
discovered, with great delight, the
long-disputed origin of a familiar lyr
ic of home and childhood in the spir
ited war-song of an African royal
drum corps, which runs thusly:
‘Boo tcha ! Boo tcha! Kilda Kaff!
Kutti muppy netti maff!
