The following, from the Louisville Journal, is so.
beautiful that it is holy:
A light is from our household gone,
• A voice we loved is stilled,
JC placets vacant "at our hearth
Which never can be filled;
A irenllo.li^art. that tlirobbei but now .
To throb in bliss above.
Yes, to tlie home where angels fire,
Her trusting ffoul lias fletl
And yet we bend above her tomb
With tears, and call her dead.
We call her dead, but ah 1 we know
She dwells where livmg waters flow.
We miss thee from our home, dear one,
We miss thee from thy place, *
Oh! life will be so dark without
Tlie sunshine of ttiy face;
We wait for time at eve's sweet hour,
When Stars begin to bum,
We lingelr iu our cottage pqj'ck
To look for thy return ;
Bnt vainly for thy coming step
We list through «il the hours— *
We only hear the wind’s low voice-
That murmurs through tlie flowers,
And the dark river’s solemn hymn
Sweeping among the woodlands dim.
The bird we loved is singing yet
Above our cottage door,
We sigh to hear it singing now
Siuee heard by time oo more;
Tlie sunshine and tlie trembling leaves,
The blue o’er-arcliingtiky,
The music of the wandering winds
That float in whispers by—
All speak in tender tones to mo
Of all life’s parted hours aud thee.
: “*
I do not see thee now, dear one,
1 do not see thee now,
But even When tlie twilight breeze
Steals o’er my lifted brow,
I hear thy voice upon my ear
In murmurs low and s ;(L
I hear tliy words of tenderness
That 1 have heard so oft;
And on my wounded spiritrtills
A blessing from above,
That whispers, tlio’ Zliv life is o’fir,-
We have'not lost thy love.
Ah no! Jliy heart indeatli*grown cold
Still love us with a love untold.
No need of fame’s proud voietvfor thee,
No need for earthly fame.
Thou art enshrined in ur fond hearts,
And that ;e all the same ;
Ay, fail of "faith, and trust, and hope,
W-e tread life’s troubled sea,
* Till the Dst throbbing ware of t:ma
Shall Lear out souls to the-- —
With an onr sms rorgrven,
To mingle with our loved aud lost
In our sweet homo in heaven,
To spend with ali the blest above
And' endless life oLperfect love.

now t.dok at this, then at that.
' Ih tlie latter part of September,^ on
one of those cloudy days which often,
at that season of tire year when the
sun was obscured by a thick and hazy
atmosphere, while a gentje, drkz.ling
rain was noiselessly falling, the curtains
of night seemed prematurely dra.wTt
over the horizon, shrouding nature
"in tlie gloom of night ere the sun had
left the western horizon—on such an
evtHiing might have been seen a wea
ry traveller wending his londy way
through the dark forests xA the Sontlr,
on the goad towards Charleston, ^ar
from home, in a strange land, anxious
to find a shelter from tiie drizzling rain,
which seemed to increase as night
drew en, he quickened liis pace, liopiug
to find some human habitation where
he might rest for the night.
While thus pressing onward, peering
through the gloomy mist, he descried
a splendid mansion a little distance
from the road. Oh, how his heart
was lightened, how his face beamed
with joy as he a proached the long
wishod for objeet.
On arriving atr the gate, the way
worn traveller hallooed , a negro made
his appearance, and the following

Here ends ti.o first picture.* Now
let us look at the other.
On a beautiful and blight morning
in June, when the sun had reached
the summer solstice, and many of -the
wealthy inhabitants, of the Southern
States were seeking the cooling breez
es of more Northern latitudes, there
was seen on the road leading to 4he
Virginia Springs, a splendid carriage
drawn by four beautiful grays, accom
panied by a postillion. In thS^ car
riage were seated a wealthy Southern,
planter and his lady, on their way to
these delightful watering places. .
Suddenly an axletree of the carriage
is broken, and the carriage with its
contents fall gently to the ground,-with
out further injury.
The postillion - .is sent 6nwardMo
seek assistance—he had. not gone/far
before he came to a neat farm iiouse,
and made known to’the masterof the
house the sad' catastrophe, which h&l
ju$t happened. *
The farmer immediately called to-
o-e’.her.several of his servants, order-*
cd his ow-n carriage, an L wjth a few
st ron -r hands, was soon on the ground,
where the accident had happened, re-n-
’dering -timely aid to the unfortunate
travellers. . jijjL
The contents of the injured carnage
being transferred to the farm- rs, were,
soon conveyed to the house, and while
a substantial dinner was in course of
preparation ftxr.the travellers, the bid-
ken axletree was detached from-the
carnage and set to a blacksmith'slo be
repaired. * In the mean time, the far
mer’s Cufljiy^jierevlv-iug^a! 1 in ihcr
fortable as 'possible.
Late in the jifterno&n the broken
axletree, neatly mended, was refitted
to the,carriage, and m readiness Tor.
the road, i ut it'was now late, an t die
kind hearted* farmer insisted on his
guests tarrying until morning, and
then, after an early br akfast, tii
could make a good day’s journey,
this the travellers Vcadily consented ;
ancUwhsle “mine host” was showing,
the gentleman over parts ot liis neat
and fruitful farm and orchard, his,wife
and daughters were amusing their
lady-guest by a walk ;it the bcautifu.
garden, then to the spring,- showing
her the neat and clean spring-house,
through which the spring-water was
extraordinary kindness, I insist on pav
ing you, and am resolved on doing so,
before T leaVe your hospitable rod?.”
v Well, sir, as you insist upon it ; ;
though I never before charged a trav
eler anything, I will charge you somo-
tiling
“That’s right, sir ; that’s right— now
my bill, sir, .and I'll pay it.”
“Well, sir, this is your bill. All I
ask in compensation for what T havt*
■into o'ttiers as you would have others
do to you, and if .Q-ver a poor weary ,,
-traveler calls at your house, on a darlc,
gloomy, rainy evening, and begs -for
shelter, only in one of your negro hou
ses, don’t turn him - away. All I ask,
is that you take him in and do by him
as I have done- by you. If you will
do this, we are even.”
The traveler was dumb—almost suf
focated ; and for a time could’not utter te
a word. Then recovering himself, said, ^
in a subdued and. mortified tone, “are
you the man ?”
“I am ; aud I knew you the moment
I saw you; and-acting on principles
taught by that same good old Book
from which I have already given you
a few quotations, I felt bouiid to “ren
der good for evil.” I have done only
my duty ; I am satisfied, paid in full,
and wish you a prosperous journey, a
long and happy .life, rendered useful
by-acts of kindness to your, fellow man
whenever you find him in nped.
“Oh f sir-, I am mortified, I am
ashamed, anq I promise never again'
to withhold good from my fellow-man *
when I have it in my power.” - .
“Then, sir, I am more than amply
compensated for all I have so gladly
done fur you,, and rejoice in bidding
you God speed.”
“But, sir. you will accept this from,
me,” holding in his hand a $100 note.
“No, sir, not a farthing, I am already
more than fully paid.”
The traveler then approached the
side board, froin which he had several
; riimes during his •gbjourn at -the farnv-
house partake?, .qf the. “Wine that ma-
ketli glad- tiie.Jfeart of - man,”’ and lay
ing down tlie $100 bill, he placed x
Tumbfer ou it, to’ .prevent its being
lassinr, keeping the milk and buff
er cool and sweet. _ The Southern la
dy became so pleased with the place
ancl the family, that she expressed her
self willing to remain with the far
mer and his family, instead oi going
to the springs; but they had gngaged
Jo meet some of their fr iends at the
springs;-and therefore must go.
The guests were now summoned to
the dining-room, where they sat down
with the farmer and his amiaole fami
ly, to a supper, such* as a wealthy far-’
merof the “Old Dominion”, is proud to
$et before his friends. While supper
was bein% discussed, the time V” 13 ec "
lived by that easy flow of generous
conversation usually found among the
F. Y.’s. when in company with
friends.
As the time for rest was now draw
ing ou, q11 the family with their quests,
being seated in the parlor, the “good
man oftlie house” opened the _ “good
old book” (as he was wont to call it,) and
read, for the instruction of all present,
tlie hundred anti fourth Esahn. I nen
in a short but appropriate address to
the Throne of Grace, committed his
charge to the care of Him who never
sleeps. Aftnr which, all retired to en
joy f’Tired natures sweet restorer,
balmy sleep.”
Next morning the guests, rising from
their comfortable resting place, found
waitingfht-ir appearance, at breakfast
composed of a rich variety of tlie good
things of life, prepared '“a la. mode, Old
Virginia never tire? and while our
guests were engaged ip doing ample
justice to their breakfast, seryants were
engaged in harnassing the horses now
rested, well led and smoothly curried
and rubbed down.
All things now ready for motion our
travelling gentleman approached “mjne
host” wfth—“my bill, sir, if you
please.”
“Your bill ?• Sir, I never made a
bill against a traveler in my life.^ I
don’t know how to do it sir. God
bountifully provides for his creatures,
and while we have enough,, and to
spare, I believe it o’ur duty to express
our gratitude by obeyiug h'is word, es
pecially; the injunction, “Be not forget
ful to entertain strangers”—and there
fore I have never charged a stranger
calling at mv house, for the bounties
whickGod has graciously given ine."

his eyes were suffused with tears of
mingled shame and'gratitude.
The f$rcr.‘.T cordially took the prof
fered hand, and never was there a more
feeling farewell passed between stran
gers, than here passed ’ between the
guests and the family of “mine host.”
We will say nothing of the feelings
of our jady-guest during the above
conversation between her husband
arid our Virginia farmer; nor will we’
follow them in their carriage to hear
their conversation as they leftthe farm:

An Incident in >SchoeI Life.
■ Years ago, when I was a boy, it was
customary, and probably is now to
sonic, extent among district schools in
flic country, to have spelling schools
during tlie winter term, These gather
ings were anticipated' with great in
terest by tire scbolars,' as at those
times was decided who was the -best
speller. O cadonaliy one school would
visit another fc a test of scholarship in
this respect. Ah ! how the little
hearts would throb, and big ones
thump, their anxiety to beat the whole!.
Once on a time, a neighboring
scbodl sent word to ours, that on a
certain day in tlie afternoon they would
meet in our school-house for one of
these contests. As the time was short,
most of the other studies were suspen
ded. and at school and at home in the
evening, all hands were studying to mas
ter the monosyllables, dissyllables, ab
breviations ,&c., &c.; which the spelling
books contained.
At length the day arrived, and as
our visitors were considered rather our
superiors, our cares and anxieties were
proportionably great. The scholars
were ranged in a standing position, on
opposite sides of the house, and the
words pronounced to each side alter
nately, and the scholar th^, “missed”
was to sit down. His game up,
Itmlid not take long to thin the
ranks on both sides. In a short- time
our school had but eight on the floor,
aud theirs but six. After a few rounds
the aontest turned in their favor, as .
they had four standing to our two.—
For a long time it seemed as though
.these six had the books “by heart.”—
At length the Dumber was reduced to
one on each side. Our. visitors wer^f v
repi^sented by an accomplished young
lady, whose parents had recently ar
rived in town, and our3 by myself, a.
.ragged little boy of ten summers, who
had set up night after night while my
mother, with no other light than that
produced by pine icnots,. pronuonced
my lessons to me. The interest ofthe
spectators was excited to the highest
pitch, as word after word was spelled,
by each. At length the young ladv
missed,"and'I stood alone. Her teach
er said she did not understand .the
word. " She declared she didthat- the
honor was mine, and that L richly des
erved it. That was a proud moment
for me. * I haa spelled dowR both
schools and was declared victor. My
cheeks burned, and my brain -irn* d***
