Chapter I.—Ada (frey.
“A fairy form is frolicking
111 beauty round me now,
With cheek of sun-bright loveliness,
And fair and beaming brow.”
Swkkt Ada Grey-—ah, and there is
another page in the heart’s early mem
ories Iviug open before me; a fir page
it is, too, with hardly a blemish or n
.shadow marring i’spure surface. Out
from memory’s mist there oomes,
springing into graceful lov-linea*, tin
form of our madcap, merry• hearten
Adi! It is a happy face that turns to j
me its j>y beaming eyes, and pretty ■
head, with its sunny hair! 1 gnz-i on 11 1
band of the same fair hair encircling j
arm, and think how very beautiful was!
the young face it once shaded. Ada!
w ith the musical chime of that name,
comes a confused recollection of ‘smiles
and tears, clouds and sunshine, with
beautiful sun-rays of hope, happily
’predominating on all life’s darkir in
fluences.
Ada Grey was an orphan—‘‘nor |
brother, nor si.-iter Lad she!” Her!
, mother had lived but to look upon the!
little face tint grew to lie so like her!
own, and, will) the liny f r.n r sing!
again tiler heart, committed her help, j
ic-s one into the hands of her Maker,:
and her spirit quitted its earthly dwell
ing, to await its judgment at the Great
Tribunal.
Tne babv-eyes of the little Ada first |
rested upon the face of her grund-moth
er, and very soon ilia child began to!
love mid recognize the kind lace tL.it >
looked into iis wondering eyes with all i
a mother’s tenderness. Hut a twelve, j
month elapsed ere the father went too,)
mid the “wee thing” was indeed ail j
orphan. Well, then, did the gran I
parent supply the place ofthe lost ones,
and Ada Grey never felt the need of
ihe great love of which she was in her j
infancy. She grew to womanhood
w ith a heart full of poetic fancies, and |
pure imaginings, beautiful as the sum- J
mer sunshine; young face reflected j
every emotion of her joyous spirit, j
Whether 1 lie merry smiles sparkled oil i
her lace, or the tear-drop geunnvd her
starry eyes, there was the same win ‘
ning charm that inspired a wish to f>lJ j
the being to your heart.
At seventeen Ada Grey bade adieu
to schoo!-gir! life, and returned to her
own native village, and ever afterwarJ !
I heard from her as being very gay and
very nappy. But we will pass over
the four years trial sped so lightly and
joyously over the head arid brow of
our wild darling,—we will hie away to ;
“Sunny-side,” as Ada poetically term
ed her beautiful home, —and uiirk with
our own eye the change that time has’
wrought in the home of the merry
hearted.
Chapter If-. The Bridal—The

Shall know no shade on heart or brow;
For human lot and mortal strife,
I Would mock the falsehood cf shell a vow.” :
I “The panting- has ceased, the cheek is still, j
, And the car of the child bends closer still.
It reos on the lips, out ! stens in vain,
For those lips have done with life and pain.”
ft isrsurmuter-even-trde, and the hush
ed winds are stealing noiselessly in
, through the open moon-lighted windows]
;of • Sunny side;” the star-beams are
] tailing on the beautiful head of A'da
Grey, as she kneels supported by the ]
strong arm of one who has promised,
: with the help of the Most H ght, to

I is kneeling tnere in her y oung beauty
—kneeling there with the pure moon

holiness—kneeling with a tear-bathe)

grand-mother.
‘l'here are light steps, hushed sobs

; together of tiie vows of those two in i
the first blooming of life’s spring, before
die worn-out earth pilgrim whose life

j ly to the unknown shore.
The last prayer is said, and with a
low, “Bless me, grand-mother, bless me
once again,” Aba’s face is buried in
vlie white drapery shrouding her grand
mother’s bed. The pale hands of the
! dying one are iaid fondly on t ie bright
hair of the one who has been ever a

there is a faint whispered word, so low

Chapter 111.--A homo Picture.
‘■There seems a bright and fairy spell
About their very wanner to dwell.”
It is early morning, and the gliiter-]
ing sun-beams are drinking from leaf
ind bough, the crystal raindropsof last 1
even-tide; the heuvens smile beautiful- 1
,y blue above, and the sun shines rm
■liutiiiy down upon llie fair earth, that
God lias given us, on a transitory dwell
ing place; bird-music is out on the
breeze, and tha air is red rlent with the
perfume of (lowers. —Amid this gush
ing melody of nature, this bright smil
ing day.light takes a peep at yonder
little white cottage. Saw you ever a
place so lovely? Look at it as it stands
bathed in the sun-light, and peeping so
coyly through tiie green vines an I trees
that embower it. Hark! there is the
rich, soul-thrilling music of a child,
laueli rinjiine 0 .t clear as a silver beli,
on tlie morning air—a quick puttering
of little feet running over a gravelled
walk: there is a bound through the
clustering vines that twine over the
rustic portico, nd a beautiful boy,
glowing with the chase, springs into
the rosy sunlighl.
We have seen the noble figure that
pursues the little fugitive before—seen
him in the death-chamber, breathing
the marriage vow; and the dew gemod
hair of the child—we have seen the
same sunny hue, waving about a face
as joyous. “Willie,” and the little
hesitating feet cease tiieir running, turn
will) a quick motion and the child-form
springs into the arms extended to re
ceive it—they disappear within the
door- way.
Floating through the white muslin,
j that screens, with its envious folds, yon
! del - ruse-wreathed window, mingling
’ with the music of birds, comes the
j sound o.'the family devotion to Nature’s
; God. it is silent ugain--tiien once
more comes that exquisite gush of
i chii.tisii merriui.Tit; a kindly breeze
| favors ns the drapery floats awav, and
itne sunshine goes streaming in; we
| catch a glimpse of a dear face that we
loved in our childhood; but its girlish
beauty is changed to one of matronly
: grace; tie large, glaj eyes are more
serious in their gaze : and there is a
slight shade of thoughtfulness playing
ever the mouth, but not so much so to
mar its exquisite beauty. We could
deem it hardly possible that the wild
Ada Grey ol yore, is the same Ada of
now; her eyes so full of gentle love as
’ she looks upon her husband and ex
tends her hand for the support of their
little May, u “wee thing,” tLa 1 clings
to her side. Willie’s dimpled face i.i
bathed in smiles, for iiule May has tu.
ken her first step —her first step upon
the long, dark j turney of life.
All, cling to thy mother’s si le little
elieruh, wnile yet you may, and wan
der never ttryour heart away frmitlie
; roof-tree of home! Our Ada a minis,
iter’s wife! Never has the sun smiled
on a happier horife, than that of our
darting! Ada, our life-paths are dif
fering widely now, and we aie parted,
it may be never to mjet again; and
“Hope that wore angels in their birth,
but peridieii young like tilings of earth.”
Oil Annotating.
Cnambor’s Journal has some interes
ting and curious statements Prof. Simp,
son, of Edinburg, on the beneficial ef
fects of oiling the body in consumptive
and scrofulous cases, as also iri soar
letina. It appears that the workers
in wool-mills are entirely exempt* and
from the destructive diseases. Prof,
bimpson states, that “employment in
the mills not only preserved health, but
chiliien of delicate constitutions were
sent to be wool-workers for Hie ex
press purpose of acquiring strength a
result in almost every instance at
tained.”
We quote so much of the article as
relates to the cause of this elfhet, and
the upplicitions of’ the discovery to
practical medicine; as’ the attention of
the medical faculty may be attracted :
to the subject, and thereby many per
sons be possibly saved tr<*m lingering
disease or premature death :
“i he question now came to be, to
ascertiati tli* precise cause of this sin
gnlar resuitof inili-worx. Cotton mills
did not produce a similar effect and
workmen in certain departments of
wool-mil Is were found to be subject to
the ordinary maladies of tho country,
it therefore soon became evident, that
the cause referable to tho great quanti.
ty of oil consumed in the preparaiions
of the raw material in wool-working.
A codt or anv other portion of dress,
when hung up in one of the too ms. w**
found to be Siturati-J with oil in a few
days, ar.J the operative* must, there.
fo‘. >9. n id to .‘raw into *hejr *vtr*.u
a large amount of oleaginous matter,
either by inhalation or by absorption
from the clothes through the skin, the
latter being probably the principal inode
in which the aubstance is imbibed.
The hands and face of the workers are
constantly be smeared, but under their
clothing there are scarcely any marks
of discoloration, although it is obvious
that the oil must be received through
all the pores of the body, and indeed,
the greatest quantity will penetrate
where there is the least facility for ex
ternal evaporation.
The application of this discovery to
practical medecine is calculated to be
of important service, iu “o far as soma
of our most seriou.. maladies are con-j
cerneJ. Consumption as now under
stood, is supposed to arise from defec
tive nutriiion —there being in eonsump-j
tiveand scrofulous subjects a deficien
cy of fatty as compared with albumin
ous matter; and to restore the equili
brium of the two elements, cod-otl, as
is well known, lias been in extensive
use for the last ten or twelve years,
mid with singular effect. In many in
stances, however, oil when swallowed
is found to excite nausea; and in such
eases, the int:oduciion of this saving
’ agent by external application is likely
!to be productive of beneficial const*-
1 quenees. Means are to be taken to
■ret rid of flte disagreeable odor of col
oil, and when freed from this objection,
there can he few or no drawbacks to
the ancient custom ot aunointing.
■ That it adds rapidly to the weight of
j the emaculated has already beeil proven
I ty actual experiment; and one instance
j may he mentioned of an individual who
i gained a stone in weight in the short
! oeriod of four weeks. The use of oil
jin tiiis way is not disagreeable, bin on
i ihe contrary is found to be productive
of pleasant sensations. Il has only
■to be added, so far as the medicul ao
tion is involved, that the mode in whion
the oil strengthens delicate path; ills, is
by its being received into the blood,
the chemical character of which under
goes a vital change by the process.”
The writer recommends active ex
ereise with the application; and says,
that oil may be applied to the human
body at night without any disagreeable
consequences. The oil lobe well rub
bed in.

Baby has falileii down stairs. Very
natural. Ofciurse every baby falls
down stairs once. That is not the
worst of it. As it grows up, it does
most of the other tricks its parentsdid
when they were young, notwithstand
ing all their wise saws to the contrary.
Can you convince a hoy a segar is a
nasty weed, or wine and brandy poi
sons, till he tried and found them so, us
you did? What is the use of preach
ing to Miss not to pinch her waist or
appetite, ti‘l she ims found by ill health
the (oily of the practice, mid that it i>
a real suicide.
Baby must-nave its dolls and drums
and trumpets; and, when grown older,
will insist on in ire of the same sort of
toys, tlioog'<df un e-xiravugunter co->t.
Can you prevent it? See if you can
i prevent baby's tumbling down stuirs,
:or bumping its head against the table,
or bruising its nose sometimes, or get
]ttug into hot water at other times!
You cannot do it. Y'our grandfather and
’ grandmother both did the same, and so
did you. What is to he done then?
They must buy experience with a
price, no less than that of bloody noses
and black and blue spots, it is the law
of expansion and growth'. The expe
itence of another is naught. Each
for himself must try all tilings, and
hold fast that which is good. You
might as well expect to thrive by get
] ling another to *ut your dinner lor you,
as to hire him logo through experiences
for you. R.ibv grows taller through
the severu 1 divisions of inches on
Gunter’s, just sis you did; and also
grows wiser by making the same expe
rimeiits ol life of pleasures and of pain.
Did you ever mind, hot'/ the old
trick of plucking foi bidden fruit, learnt
in the world’s infancy, is universally]
prevalent with children now? They
seeintolove to put their little hands!
upon things on purpose to have you say, |
All! Ah! Aii! When thy have, by pre-j

you a refusal, they are quite sat

There is ahundarue of (on and humor
in them. The spirit of adventure, ro ,
manca and drollery appears early.
In fact, we very son) see in them the
embryo of all they will be. They dis
cover bravery by venturing to tho verge,
self-sufficiency by assuming the ex
elusive control ot playthings; persever.
ence by iosuiing on wnat they have
onoe made up their minds to have, and I
the like.

A Singular Unaracter.
A New Orleans letter, writer gives
the following description of an eccentric
character in that city;
There is u man, a day.laborer in the
Custom House, who receives thirty.five
dollats a month, which fie spends the
most of in decorating his person. He
has ins own peculiar notions of taste,
and on Sunday he attires himself in
his singular costume, and exhibits
himself in the most frequeuted through
fares and public places.
Yesterday, at tlie request of a gentle,
man, lie came to ihe drawing-room of
St. Charles to gratify the anxiety of
some ladies whom lie was informed hud
stayed a day beyond theii time tliut tliev j
might have the pleusure of seeing him. <
He wore a moUern-shuped eout and
pants, but his hat is remarkable for its
broad brim, winch is nine or ten inches
in width, on one side of which fie wears
a massive eagle ol pure gold; liis shoes
ure of pure silver, und urc jointed to
permit him lo walk without much difli I
cully. His coat mid punts are profuse
ly decorated with rich gold lace, uud
the seams ure strung with gold coins.
A gold string of twenty ond fifty dollar!
gvld pieces reaches from liis neck to
the point of his vest, and around his ■
waist is a girdle from which depend
bunches of gold fishes, euch of winch is
seven or eight inches long.
lie, hand, however, exceeds all the
rest in novelty; the fingers are covered
with rings, one of which weighs one
pound and a half; he wore three on j
Sunday, the fields of which were deco,
rated with engravings on the gold of
the flight into Egypt, Adam and Eve,
and the crucifixion; lie has also a mas
sive seal, on which is engraved a por
trait of himself.
His rings attached to heavy bracelts,
und on -Sunday very large gold chains
weigh heavily on his shoulders. This
expensive costume is kept iu the bank,
six days of the week, in which he asstd
uously toils for more money to buy new
decorations, winch must always be of
Lite finest gold.
1 bis individual is always willing to
answer questions concerning the cost
of his golden armor, uud uxpatiules
very loudly upon the exquisite skill
and workmanship of his rings, seals,
fishes,&o. A gentleman in UieC istoin i
House informs me that his Sunday j
dress is valued at from three to four
thousand dollars.
The Sleepy Parishioner. —“ While
Ur. AiiJiuw* was once divine at Cam
bridge, lie was upplied to by u worthy
uldmmai) of that drowsy city, who Was
j beset by the sorry habit of sleeping
under the ufteruoon sermon; and who,
to nis great mortification, hud been pub
licly rebuked by ilie minister of the
parish. As situ if had not then come
1 into vogue Ur. Andrews did not udvise,,
as some inattr-01-fact persons have done!
ill such cases, to titillate tho ( neezer’ i
with a routing pinch. He seems til
have been of the famous Ur. Kouiii.i,
w!n> once told ins full-fed congregation
in London, that it was hard work to
preach to two pounds of beef and a po
af porter- So Ur. Andrews advised his
civic friend to help his wakefulness by
(lining very sparingly. Tiie advice
was followed; but without avail.
Again the rotund dignity slumbered &
slept in Ilia pew; and again was lie
roused by the harsh rebukes of the
irritated preacher. With tears in those
too sleepy eyes of fiis, the mortified
alderman repaired to l)r.Andrews’ beg
ging for further council. The consid
erate divine, pitying his infirmity,
recommended him lu dine as usual, and
then to take his nap before repairing to
his pew. This plan was adopted; and
to the next discourse, which was u
violent invective prepared for the very
pur [lose of castigating tee alderman’s
somnolent habit, he listened with un
winking eyes, and his uncommon vigi
lance gave quite a ridiculous air to the ;
whole business. The unhappy parson ]
was nearly as much vexed at his huge- ]
waisted parishioner’s unwonted wake- 1
fulneas, as before at itis unseerr.lv
dozing.” * |
Illinois is found to lie much richer in I

embrace an area of some G3,UIK> square

states that the recent disclosures of

the coal field* of Illinois will be found
equal in extent to that, and probably
wril exceed it.

Questions lor Liqcor Dealers. ‘
BT PRESIDENT WATLAND.
Ist. Can it bo right for me to dortro
my living from that which ia spreading
disease, poverty, and premature death
through my neighborhood! How
would it be in arty similarcass? Would
it be right ior me to derive my living
from selling poison, or from propagat
ing plauge and leprosy aroutid me!
2<i. Can it be right for me to darirs
my Jiving from that which ia deoasing
the minds arid ruining the souls of my
neighbors! How would it be in any
other case! Would it be right for me
to derive my living from the sale of a
drug which produced misery or mad
ness, which excited the passions and
brutalized the mind, and ruined the
souls of my fellow men?
3. Can it be right for me to derive
my living front that which destroys for
ever the happiness of the domestic cir
cle—which is filling the land with wo
men and children in u cotidiiion far
more deplorable than that of widows
and orphans?
4th. Can it be right for nte to derive
my living from that which is known to
be the cause of nine-tei.ths of all the
crimes which are perpetrated against
society?
Gill. Can it be right for me to derive
iny living from that Which accomplishes
alt these at once, uiid Which it does
without ceasing?
Olh. Do you say tliut you do not
know iltut the liquor which yoy are
selling will produce these results? Lo
you not know that nine hundred and
ninety-nine gallons produce these ef
fects lor one which is used innocently?
I ask then,
7ih. Would it be right for me to
sell poison on the ground that thfere
was one chance in a thousand that the
purchaser would not d'e of it*
Bth. Do you say that you’ are not
responsible for the acts of your neigh
bors? Is this clearly so? is not he
who furnishes a murderer with a wea
pon considered an accomplice?
If these things he 50—and tf.ey are
so, who can dispute?—! ask you, my
respected fellow citizens, wlmt is
to tie done? Let me usk, is not this
trade altogether wrong? Why then
I should we not altogether abandon ii?
It any man thinks otherwise, and choose
to continue it, 1 huvo but one word to
•ay; My brother, you order a cargo of
i intoxicating drinks, think how muck
misery you are importing into the com.
i munity. As you store it up, think how
many curses you may be heaping to
gether against yourself. As you roll
it out of your warehouse, think how
many families euclt cask will ruin.
Let our thoughts then revert to yout
own fireside, wife, and your little ones,
then lo >k up to Him who ju igetli
righteously, uiid then ask yourself, my
brother, Is it iuoht?
