Outlived her Usefulness- Not long since a good-looking man, in middle life, came to our door, in-king for‘the minister.' \Vhen informed that he was out of town, he seemed disap s * (minted rffnl anxiofl*. Ofl being ques tioned as to tiir« business, lie replied ? ‘1 have lost my mother ; and at this -plsnfl used to tie her home, and my father lies here, we have Come t<S lay tier beside him' Our hearts rose in sympathy, And we said, ‘You tiaVe met with great few*.’ *Weil —yes,’ repl ed the Strong man, with hesitancy, ‘a mother is a great l**-* in general; but our mother has outlived htd* Usefulness; she was in her second childhood, and her mind was as weak as her body, so that she was no com fort to herself, and was a bn*den trt eVery In>dy. There was seven **l us sons and daughters; and, as we could not find anybody who was willing to board her, we agreed to keep h -r among us a y'ear alwuit.

But tWi she was a g >"d mother in her day, and toiled very hard to breng us ‘Op.’ Without looking at the face of the heartless man, we directed him to the house of a neighboring pastor, and re lumed to our nursery. We gazed on the merry little faces, which smiled or grew sad in imitation of ours—those lit* t>e one#, to whose ear no word in our language is half so sweet as ‘mother,’ and wondered if that day would ever cmne when they would saV rtf us ’She lias outlived her usefulness —she i« no coflifst to hetkelf ami a burden to ev tti-ybrtdy idse I 1 And Vis® liojfe bes 'Ve such a day should dawn, we might be taken to our rest.

Her chil dren were there, dad in weeds of woe, aud in an irony we remembered the 6tr<mg man’s words, ‘She was a good mother in her day.’ When the bed ceased tolling, the twin ister rose in the pulpit. Bis form was very erect, and his voice strong, but his hair was silvery white. After appropri ate introductory services—in the etmise of his address, he leaned oVt'f the desk, and gazing intently on the coffined lorm before him, said reverently :—‘From a little child I have honored the aged, but never till the gray hairs covered my own head, did I know truly Uow much love and symp ith tliih class "have a right to derftand of their fellow creatures.— Our mother,’ he added most tenderly, ‘who how lies in death before us, was a stranger to me, as are all of these, her descendants. -All I know erf her is what her son has told, me to-day—that she wan brought to this town from afar, six ty-nine years ago, a happy bride—that here she passed must of her fffe, toiling as only mothers ever have strength to toil, uniil she had reared a large family <rf children—that she left her home here, clad in the weeds of widowhood, trt dwell anv>ng her children ; ami that till life and vigor left her, she lived ‘or .you, her (lekeetidentk .

No! when she can no longer labor for her ehiMren nor yet care for herself, she can fall like a pie eious weight on their bosom, and call forth by her helplessness all the noble, generous feelings of their nature.

Filins with a Beardless Hook- Scum- months ago, business led me to an out-of-the-way place where, near by a fall of water, there lived two boys, one eight ami lire 'other tVo. They were bright-eyed, inquisitive little chaps, but generally wit bout cither hat or shoes, iibd 'often win. puntfc and juckets sadly rent. Busied «.« C ’X’as in the repairs* of an Aid null, these boys were handy to send on errands, bring tools, look after my horses turned out to bait in tlretf road, and do numberless little things to 6uVe the steps t.f those w ho were older. One day, mi reaching the mill, I saw the oldest b..y standing upon a rock, partly hidden by the lwlingo of the sur lounding trees, fishing, and as often as lie felt a nibble lie would jerk his line as hoitefully out of Hie water as though he bore the litlle fish some terrible grudge, and wanted to pay it by I witching the r heads off. I asked him why he did so, and explained as well us I was able the best modes of taking such fidi us made tin* liHle btook their home. Allot boating me patiently and re spftvlfully he said : ‘Mister, you fish with a h*itk that has got a beard on it, and when you hook one he stays My hook ha* n’t got shv beard, tt is an old broken nite fttitt Liger ‘tVeen g ive me.

Two Arkansas lawyers was domesti cated tfi the rude hotel of a country town. The hotel vat Crowded, and the room allotted to our two heroes was Also occupied by six or eight others.— Shake down beds, enough to accommo date the guests, were disposed about the room, against the four walls, leaving an open space in the ceutVe of the apart ment. Judge OFark lay with his bead to the north, on one side, and Judge Thomas lay with bis head td ‘the hotrthf. oft the other side oT the room. So far as the room Wak c'dneorned, it might be said that their heads represented the north and south poles, respectively. All the other beds in the rdorfl ftrore Viivupietl. The central part *»f the room was deemed neutral ground, in which the Occupants Os ttie different beds had equal rights, ft ere, in pic turesque confusion, lay the boots, hat* coats and breeches of the (deeper*.— There were no windows, and though the door was open, there being no moon, tftft flight Was Very dark in that room. The wily lawyers, who had been op* posing 'counsel in a case tried in the town court that day, and had opposed each other ftdth the cftttlftmacity of wild pigs, were now the very incarnation of meekness, for when thft hiingfy ft warm of inosquitoek Aettk-d down atld bit them on the otie cbeek, they slowly turned the other to be bitten ijso; ‘But hush ! hark 1’ A deep sound strikes the ear )ik4 a rising knell ! ! Ye*owow !’ Judge (.’lark and Thomas, were wide awake, and sitting boll upright in au instant. Again the starting cry ! ‘Ye-ow-yeow 1’ ‘There’s a d—d cat 1’ whispered Clark. ‘Scat, you !’ hissed Thomas. Cat p lid n > attention to these domon strntions, but gave vent to another yowl. *O, Lord 1’ cried Clark, ‘I can’t stand this ! Where is she, Thomas ?’ ‘On y air side of the room somewhere,’ replied Thomas. ‘O. she’s on y*uir side,’ said Clark. ‘Ye.ow-nw-ifiv !’ ’There, 1 told you she was on your side,’ they both exclaimed in a breath. And Mill th* ‘yowl’ Went dft*. The id ea ftd*V entered the heads of laitli the lawyers, that by the exercis# of certain strategy thej" might b'e ena bled to execute a certain flank move ment on the cat, and totally demoralize him. Practically each determin-d to file 4 it iftolbVn to qfiosh’ the cats at taohment. for that rooift. Each kept his plan to himself, and in dark, unable to see each othifr, prepar ed lor action. Strange as it may appear it is never theless true, tha the same plan sugges ted itself to both. In WordS, ihe plan would be about as follows: The vowler is evidently looking «nd calling for another cat, with whom he has made an appointment. I will imi tate a cat, and thin cat wiil think t’oth er cat’s around. This cat will come to ward mr, and when ho shall have ar rived within reach, I’ll blaze iiwuV with anything 1 can get hold of and knock the mew-sic out of him. So each of the portly judges, noise lessly as cream comes to the surface of the milk, hoisted himself onto his hands and knees, and, hippopotamus fashion advanced to the neutial ground occu pying the central portion of the room. Arrived there, Judge*Clurk selected a boot jack, and Judge Thomas a heavy cowhide lv*ot, from the heap, and set tled themselves down to the work, Ulafk tightened his grip on the boot jack, hiS head, gave vent to a prolonged and unearthly ‘Ye.ow-ow!’ that would reflect credit upon ten of the largest kind «i]T cats: ‘Aha’thought Thomas, who was not six.feet away, ‘he’s immediately close around. Now I’ll inveigle him ! and fie gate tfifi regular dark night call t.f a feminine cat. .Each of the Judges now advanced a questioning ‘(3w !ow !* ThomaS answered by a re-assnriti J ‘Pur-wo ! pur !’ and they advanced a little closer, and Chirk produced a ques tioning‘Ow ! ow !’ Thomas answered by a re-assuring ‘Pitrow! plir!’add they advanced ft little more. They were now within easy reach,, iind bach iiiiagirfirig the cHt had but a moment more to live, whaled away, the onp with his boot, the other with his boot j ick The boot took Clark square in the m mth, demolished his teeth, and the Udot-ja.-k Ciiiiie ddwn on liuld head just aft he waft in the filidst of a triumphant ‘ i e-ow P When lights wfere hrb'ilght; Ih’e cat had disappeared, but the catastrophe was in opposite corners of the room, with heels iu the air, swearing blue streaks.

Marriage, which forms the basis of domestic life, has been «aref<aHy And minutely regulated by 'Chinese legisla tion; afid ft is deeply imiwessed with the eharaetir of domestic tyranny that is found in Itie manners of all nations placed oftt of the influence of Christiani ty. in speaking of the rites and cere monies observed in the celebration of marriage, have alluded b* the dwftfiotfft auth«*rity oY parents over their children ; thfts it is not the future wedded pair, hut their respective ftmifies who m ike the fi'st advance*, fix the wedding presents, arrange the articles of the con tract, etc. All thebe prelitftinaries are adjusted through the intervention of third persons, who serve as g-> list weeds, and haggls-about the price of the mar riageable merchandise. When the bar gain is concluded, th# parties are affi anced. If either lamiiy attei re fuse to ratify the contract, its chief is condemned to receive fifty strokes with the bamboo, and the marriage is order ed ttt tiike place. In cases where there has been no contract, the acceptance of the presents is considered as sufficient evidence of the consent of the contract ing pard'eS". It is thus easy to conclude a marriage Mtftotit at all consulting the persons most interested, bfit this is oftly the tftse with the first marriage. The father of a family caftrtot cotftpe! a Bon who has befirinie ft Widower to marry a second time, under penalty of eight strokes of the baittbdo. If between the betrothed ftrtd the Car riage the relations of the bride promise her hand to another, the head of the family receives seventy stroked, dr eigh ty, if she had been already presented and approved. He who should accept a promise <»f marriage, knowing that ne gotation* wero begun with another, would also receive eighty blows; but iu cases whore either party can be proved to have been guilty of theft or adultery, the contract becomes null and ▼•• id. Th® Chinese law points out certain circumstances as obstacles to the forma tion of an alliance. Tht-re are absolute hindrances, or mere retaliatory obsta cles. It is forbidden to marry during fhd-liltte fixed bv law lor the mom fling Viffl father,a mother, dr ft husband. A marriage contracted nnuer these circum stances is not only declared null, but punished by a hundred strokes of the bamboo. Th»* marriage contracted during ths inouning fdr a grandfather or grand mother, an undo or an aunt, an elder brother or elder eister, remain# vftfid, but Vs 'punished, nevertheless, by eighty blows. A widow who has YeceiVed frotfi tbe Emperor afly distinction of rank during the life of her husband, is punished by a hundred strokes if she marry again, besides being degraded from her rank, and separated from her flew hu*b;lfid. i M an iages cmVtrAefcd between persons bearing the same family name, with any one concealing hun-elf on ace *iirtt of some cVbfle, d> #lth actors or musicians, are io themselves ntili and void, and the delinquents are punished by a certain number »Vs strokes of the lufflboo. One of the cohseqiifinceft of the man ner in which marriages are made in China is the divorce, not merely for de terminate causes?', Idit by uiutihil edn* sent. It seems natural enough that persons who have been married without lieing consulted, sfiotild hove at thfi permission to separate if they can not agree. The husband may repudiate hi* lawful wife for tlie foliowing catlftes, some of which appear rather whimsical: sterility, immorality, contempt of the husband’s father and m >ther, propensi ty to slander or to theft, a jealous tem per, or habitual ilf-health. Tlie Wanderer’s Prayer. Oh & cold, dreary eveding in autumn, a siflali brty„ poorly clad, yet cleanly and tidy, with a pack upon liis back, knock ed sft the door of art rild Qiiuker in tbe town «>f S—, and inquired, “Is Mr* Lanman at home ?’ ‘Yes.’ The boy Wished to see hiifi. Slid Wds speedily udhered iiitci ihe host’s pres ence. Ifriehd Lanman was one of the weal thieat men in the country, and President of the railroad. The boj* had cilitie to see if he could obtain and situation on the road. He said that he was an orphan —his mother had Oeeti dead only two rilofltliS; and he was now a homeless wanderer; But tfifi Iftd waft tiid giiiall for the filling of anjr pluiie within the Quaker’s gift, and was forced to deny hint. Still he liked the loosed of the boy, and ftald iff hint« - ‘The*: may stop at tiiy house to-night, and ori the niorrHw I will give tlie names of two or three good men in Philadel phia, to whom thee may apply with as* fttlrftnce of kind reception at least. I ftiii ftofry that I uo‘ eifqiloyirient for thee * Later in the evening the Old Qiwker Went the rounds of his mansion; afuiitkrri in hand; as Was his wnt, to see that all was safe, tu-fore retiring for the night. As he passed the dc*or of the hide chamber where the poor wander ing orphan bad been 1 placed to lie heard a Voice. He stopped and listen, ed, and distingirtif/ed the tones of a situ* pl« Varocet prayer. LU bent his ear nearer, and heard thefifi Wcfrds from the boy’s lips : ‘Oh, good Father in heaven! help me td help tftyseff. Watch over me as I watch over my own conduct, and care for m<- as my de’eTs feerit 1 Bless the gOod man Isl whose house I am shelter ed for the night, and spars him long, that he may continue his bouaty to oth er suffering ones. Amen.’ And the Quaker responded another amen as he moved on ; and as he went he meditated. The boy had a true idea of the duties of life, aud possessed a warifl, g'f-ftTiffnl heftrt. ‘I verily think tfut the will boa treasure to his employed, '* was the con eluding refl -otion. When the rfl'»m'ifg Qua. ker changed hist mind concerning his answer to the hire’s application •Who learned thee to pray V inquired Friend L* *Jpy nSothcr, Mir,’ was the soft reply.— Artd the fifth ’brown eyes grew moist. ‘And thee will not forget thy mother’s counsels ?’ ‘I cannot, for I know that my success in life is dependent upon them.’ ‘My boy, thee muyest stay here in my house, and very srx>n I will take tfle to ffiy offije. Go now and get thy breakfast.’ Friend L. was gathered to the spirit hftrVeit shortly after the breaking out of the war; but he lived to see the poor boy he had adopted rise step by step until he finally assumed the responsible office which the failing guardian edflU no longer hold. And to-day there is no ffian ffioftJ hundred and nwpfictfed bV his friends, and none more feared by gamblers And speculators in irresponsi ble stock, than is the dnee poor wander er—-now Preftiilertt df the best managed anij most productive railway in the Uni ted States. Ned Wright. This person, a reformed London thief, is thus spoken of in an int* resting article in the Philadelphia Ledger, viz:—He was once a rowdy of the lowest class He was a thief and pickpocket, and served several terms in different prisons for his uilfering propensities. He was a sailor in the Royal Navy, and was flogged fire desertion. He was also a professional prize fighter, and at the time of his conversion was under an en gagement to fight. Thfi first act of his alter the change of heart sarrte over him was to throw up his engagement, which so exasperated his backers and trainers that he narrowly escaped severe ill treatment. The account Wright gives of Ids cbnver&irtn tft deeply Interi-eting it occurred *uddenly, at a religious ser vice held at Astley’g Theatre, near Westminster Bridge, sbdiSt ink years ago, but ft is fair tri give much of the credit df It so thfi influence of his wife who seems to have been a true friend, to him, and to have adhered to him with unshaken constancy. After his conver sion he forsook his old haunts and com munions and was without work for thir teen weeks, during which time his wife and children suffered thq extreme of poverty. On the lust day his wife had divided her remaining piece of hard, dry bread between their two children, aud they were sitting opposite to each'other contemplating their future iA blank des pair. Tlie thought occurred to \\ right to go out and steal ; this brought the tears to his eyes> but his wife encour aged him to Hold out against the temp tation, saying that ‘A crtlst with Christ was better thafi the whole world without Him.’ Her faith was rewarded almost on the instant, for a friend called w.th the good lie As libit fie Had got work for him.
