Five hunpred dollars I have saved—
A rather moderate store—
No matter ; I shall be content
When I’ve a little more.
(At Forty.)
Well, I can count ten thousand now—
That’s better than bi foro ;
And I may well be satisfied
When I’ve a little more.
(At Fifty)
Somo fifty thousand—pretty well—
But I hav%earned it sore,
However, I shall not complain
When I’ve a little more.
(At Sixty.)
One hundred thousand—sick and old—
All ! life is half a bore !
Yet I can be content to live
When I’ve a little more !

Forgf t, perhaps, ns soon as said.
And purposely as well.
But yet, as on passing wind

So often will a singlo word,
Unknown, its end fulfil,
And bear, in seed, the flower and fruit

A Bride Id the Wrong Bed.
We Lohf the Cincinnati Enquirer as
voucher for the following :
A nfewly married pair put up at the
Spenser House—they went out shopping
—returned—bride had lost some things—
she quietly slipped out, leaving her spouse
asl ep —found her loßt articles—returned
—mistook Alain for Broadway—got into
the Madison instead of the Spenser, asked
a hoy if she was in the Spenser, not fully
understanding- her—she told him to lead
ber tiy i|;— she ptutly disrobed and got
into her husband momenta
rily—fell aslee, —the occupant of 48 Mad
ison, an Indian merchant, returned from
the theatre —a little’ tight—quietly went
to room —to bed to sleep. The account
proceeds :
IJ ow long the two reposed side by side, I
with only a foot space between them, all
unconscious of each other's presence, is
not exactly known, but pr./Jmhly about an
hour, when a tremendous uoice was heard
in tiie apartment, from which female
screams issued wildly, piercing and cease-
The hotel was in an uproar ; proprietors
clerks, waiters, porters, and guests dressed
and half dressed, were at the door of ‘'for
ty-eight*’ in a few .minutes, blocking up
the entrance, and asking each other eager
ly, “what is •fiie'maitcr.’’ “For God sake
tell us what is the trouble !’
The cause of this outcry may bo.imagined.
The brine had awakened about midnight,
and putting her hands over her husband,
they fell upon the Indian’s face, the soft,
warm- touch aroused him at once, llerdid
not understand it exactly, though he did
not dislike it, and in a moment more Mrs.
R. said : “My’ dearest husband, where have
you been all this while ?'’
“Husband !” echoed the merchant be
ginning to sec like Lord Tinsel, that ho
UiranTade a small mistake : “I am nobody’s
husband. I reckon my deal madam you’re
in the wrong bed.”
1 n the wioiig bed ? Horrors, though the
bride. What would hdr liege lord—whax ..
would the curious world say ? And Mrs. I
HMlcreamed terribly, and spang front
couch just as her companion did the sainW ■
He was folly as much alarmed as site and
entreated her ttvMgive ldtn time and he
would leave tho apartment, although it
was one he had engaged he’d make oath to
that.
Scream, scream, scream, was the onlg|,
reply to this proposition,
s “My God, inaiiaui, dont yell so ! yon'l j
i wake the house. ‘Be reasonable, I swear
it's only a mistake. Have some thought
jof the consequence. I don't want to hurt
Goh. I swear 1 don’t, l'ou’ll get me shot
and yourself—well, I won’t say what.”
4*.lust at this juncture, tho throng outside

The Siiigiug Student Boy.
Many years ago, a student boy was seen
in the streets of an ancient town singing.
He was a stout, plainly dressed hoy, hut
his face was pale and his eyes were sad
and tearful. His voice was most musical,
and the songs lie sang were beautiful
words and about sacred things. Every
time lie finished a song lie stepped to a
house and gave n gentle tap. When it
was opened, ho said in gentle tones :
“Please give a poor student boy a mor
sel of bread.”
“Begone with, thee, thou beggar’s child!’
was the rougli. reply that met his enr ns
the poor child shrank from the steps.
Thus driven from door to door, he sang
his sweet songs until his body was weary
and Lis heart sad. Seaicely able to stand,
he at last turned his step homeward.—
Stnking Lis noble forehead with his hand,
he said:
“I must, go home to my father’s house
and be content to live by- tlie sw’eat of my
brow. Providence has no loftier destiny’
for me. 1 Imvf! trodden out its paths by
aiming higher.”
Just at this moment, Usurla Gotta, a
burgbor'j-wife, who had heard his songs
and seen turn driven from a neighbors’s
door, felt her heart yearn with pity toward
a helpless boy. She opened her door,
beckoned to the youngster, smiled sweet
ly upon him, and and in tones that sounded
like heavenly fiiclodies to his ears, said:
“Come in,,poor boy, and refresh thy
self at my ‘- 1 ’ i”’
Happy-little singer ! How he enjoyed
that delicious meal. And when the good
dame and her husband told him to make
their house his home, his heart melted.
With eyes half blinded with tears, he
looked in the face of his frend and said:
“I shall now puiwnyi my otmltes vvUH
out being obliged to bog my bread from
grudging hands. I shall have you sir, 1
for a father, and you, sweet Usurla, for a
mother. My heart will onco more learn
to love. 1 shall bo happier than I can
express.”
Atter that day the singing hoy studied
hard and well. Years afterwards the
woild heard of him, for it was ho who ut
tered his voice against Popery, ana be
came the chief of that reformation which
gave an open Bible to the world.
His name was Martin Luther.
About Laughing.
A MAN Who lias “a whole soul” within
him, whose heart is large and round, will he
sensitive to all varieties of human experi- ‘
ence, and to the over varying shades of !
emotion. His mind, puro and transparent |
is like one of the Scottish lakes, over which ,
tho clouds chase each other swiftly, and
which is now darkened by showers, and
now lightened up by gleams of sunshine.— j
So upon his open countenance, the mirror ,
of a noble heart, does the sunshine come
and go in smiles and tears. This change- ,
fulness of feeling the Bible does not re- ,
press, but rather commands, when it bids ,
us “rejoice with them that rejoice, and weep
with them that weep.”
Nov does it check that natural gayety,
which is the overflow of healthful spirits.—
while it reproves senseless mirth, it yet de- 1
cl#f<s that “a tamry heart doeth good [
like a medicine,”*6; often animates those
who a rep rone towWpondcncy and gloom,
not only to that peaceMtail contentment
which come from faith, but to the liveliest
demonstrations of overflowing joy.—
Where, then, is the point of divergence
between the two ? MHhen is it right to in
dulge in laughter and mirth, and when is
it foolish anri wicked 1 On this point wo
have a simpiJP rule : that it is right to
laugh when there is anything to laugh at.
There arc many tilings in life which are
ludicrous and absurd, at which a man
would d<xvio!cnce to himself, if lie were not
amused. And if in this there is no mix-
IjjteJ of malice or ill nature, H is perfectly
■ right to smile at the absurdities arid follies
of c. nceiteri and pompous men and women.
So of laughter which is called forth by j
a pleasant, genial Iminor, or a delicate, l
playful mirth. It isthe finer natures which
are most senutive to their play of the fancy.
Tlie mirth i# evokes is not the §jpipse,
broad laugh, hut that fino spiritmiiPlmiile
that twinkles in the eyes and links around
the corner of the mouth, and diffuses a
glow over the whole countenance,.

Settled at Last.
Much lias been said about Lord Byron's
misfortune—liis club-foot, as it was called.
This, like many other important questions,
lias been settled by n very cdtnmou-place
witness—uone other than a shoemaker.
Accompanying the lasts on which Byron
had his boots and shoes made—the said
lasts being presented to the Nottingham
Naturalists’ Society, by Mrs. Col. Wild
tnan, (if Nowstesd— was the affirmation of
Wm. Swift, who made Byron’s boots and
shoes from 1803 to 1807, who says that
“his Loidship had not a club foot, as is
generally stated, hut that it was formed
the same as the other, except being exact
ly an inch and a half shorter. The mal
formation was in the ankle, which was
very weak ; consequently, the foot turned
outward. To remedy this, his Lordship
wore a very thin boot, tightly laced, un
der his stocking. In bis early life ho wore
au iron, with a joint at the ankle, which
passed down the outside oftho leg, and
was fastened to the sole of the shoe. The
calf of that leg was much smaller.” It
further appears that the deformity was of
the left toot ami leg, and that -the lasts
were about nine inches long, narrow and
high in the instep. We are certain the
world must breathe easier, after this im
portant disclosure.— N. Y. Weekly.

BT A locomotive has been placed on a

of some of the different brakes f >r stopping
