Tread lightly—this is hallow’d ground, The dead are sleeping bore; Beneath each grassy cover'd mound, A soldier rests from oare; Speak gently—let no mirth be heard, For here 'tis sacred air; Bo silent, let no idle word Disturb the mourner near. Tread lightly—this is hallow'd ground, The strange soldior’s grave; The weary soul sweet rest has found, Beneath tbe tail pine’s shade. 8 r -ently—here our country’s dead t, «.i dly have been laid; A,..; re, perchance, strangers may shed Tears for the gallant brave. Tread lightly—this is hsllow’d ground, The flowers brighv ands Cet, Wafting their fragrance all around, The passing strangers greet. Speak gently—hear ye not the sound Os coming angels’ feet? Be still, a spirit they have found, Born for the mercy seat Tread lightly—this is hallow’d ground, Perhaps, when years pass by, Some mother’s lov’d one may be found, Who left his home to die. Speak gently—here beneath the sod Clos’d is the flashing eye; The soldiers gone to meet his God— In a brighter world on high. Tread lightly—this is hallow’d ground, Oh ! bring sweet flowers here, And as you place them on each mound A mother's blessings hear. Speak gently—hear the anthem ring Out ou the silent air ; Come brothers, come and help us sing, They’re done with earth-born care. *Sung bv the choir of - l “ at the deco* ration of the soldiers’ gra' vear.

On her he exerted all hits fascination. •Oh, sir, you quite put me out with your flattery. 1 suspect you are a married man." replied the lady. ‘No indeed ; but I confess a willing ness to get married, since I have had the pleasure ot seeing you,’ was the gallant reply ‘lndeed! but you haven’t seen my face yet!’ ‘N>>, but I know it is beautiful. The exquisite giuce that jiccqmpunies ev erything you do and say tolls me as much.’ ‘lndeed !’ ‘I think sc; but you will no longer deny me tbe satsfue.tir n, for 1 assure you lady, I am in love.’ ‘lndeed ! ‘lt is true.

A TRUE STORY OF 0601101 WASHINGTON. “It must be my child !" said the poor widow, wiping away tho tears which slowly trickled down her wasted ohecks “There is no other resource. I am too sick to work, aud you canuot surely see me and your little brolher starve. Try and beg a saw shillings, and by the time that is gone I may be better. Go, Har ry, my dear—l grieve to send you on suoh an errand, but it must be done.” The biy, a noble loiking little fellow of about ten years, started up, arid threw ing his arms around his mother’s neck, left the house without a word. He did not hear the groan of anguish that was uttered by his parent, as tho door closed behind him ; and it was well that he did not, for his little heart was roady to break without it. It was a by-street in Philadelphia, and as ho walked the street to and fro on the side walk, he looked first at one person and tbeu an other, as they passed him, but no one seemed to look kiudly at him ; and the longer he waited the faster bis courage dwindled away, and the more difficult it was to muster courage to beg Tbo fears were running fast down Lis cheeks, but no one noticed them, or if they did, Bobody seemed to caro ; for al though clean, Hoory luoked poor and miserable, and it is common for the poor and miserable to cry. Every body seemed in a hurry, and the poor boy seemed qirte in despair, when nt last be spied a gentleman who seemed to be very leisurely taking a morning walk. He was dressed in black, wore a three-cornered hat, and had b face that was mill and benignant as an angel’s. Somehow, when Henry looted at him he felt all his fears vanish at once, and instantly approached bim. His tears had been flowing so long that his eyes were quite red and swollen, and his voice trembled, but that was with weakness, for bo had not eaten for twen ty-four hours. As Henry, with a low, faltering voion, b'ggod fora little char ity, the gentleman stopped, and his kind heart melted with compassion as be looked upon the fair countenance of the poor young boy, and saw the deep flush that spread over his face, and listened to the modest, humblo tones which ac companied bis petition. “You do b it look like a boy that ha? been accustomed to beg his bread,’’ suid he kindly laying his hand on the boy’s shoulder —“what has driven you to this step ?” “Indeed,” answered Hirry, his tears beginning to fl>w alresh, “indeed I was not born in this condicioc. But the tnifortunes of my father, and the sick nces of my mother, have driven me to the necessity.” “Who is your fuller?” inquired the gentleman, with still more ioterest. “My father was a rich merohant o? this city, but he became bondsmau for a friend, who soon after failed, and he was entirely ruined. He could not live after this los?, and in one month be died of grief, and his death was moro terri ble than any trouble. My mother, my little brother aud myself, soon sunk in to the lowest depth of pover’y. My mother has, until now, managed to sup port herself and my little brother by her labor, and I have earned what ] could by shoveling snow and othor wirk that I could fi id to do. But night before last mother was taken very sick, and she has since become so much worse” — here the tears p ‘Hied faster than ever— “l do fear she will die. I have not bad any work to do for several weeks. I have not had the courage to go to any of my mother’s old acquaintances, and tell them that she had come to need and charity. I thought you looked like a stranger, sir, and something in your face overcame my shame, and gave me cour age to speak to you. Oh ! sir, do pity my poor mother I’* Tbo tears, and the simple, moving language of the boy, touched a chord in the stranger that was accustomed to vi brations. ‘‘Where does your mother live, my t boy,” said ho in a husky voice; “is it far from here 1” “She lives in tbe last house on this street, sir,” replied Harry. “You can see it from here, in tho third block, on the left band side.” “Have you sent for a physician ?” “No,” said tho hoy, sorrowfully, shak ing his head. “I bavo no morey to pay for a physician or medicine.” “Here,” said the stranger, drawing pieces of silver from his pocket—“here are three dollars ; take them and run immediately and get a physician.” Harry’s eyes flashed with gratitude ; he received the money with a stammer ing and inaudible voice, but with a look of the warmest gratitude, and vanished. The benignant gentleman immediate ly sought the dwelling of tho sick wid ow. lie entcied a little room in which ho could soe nothing but a sow imple ments of female labor, a miserab'o ta blo, ru old bureau, and a little bed which ttood iu ono corner, on which lay the invalid. Bhe appeared weak and utmost exhausted, and in her bed, at her feet, sat a littlo boy, crying os if his heart would break. Deeply moved at tho sight, tbe stran ger drew near to tho bedside of the in valid, and feigning to boa physician, inquired into tho nature of the disease. Tho symptoms were explained in a few wnrds, when the widow, with a deep sigh, added ; “Oh,‘ sir, my sickness has deeper cause and is beyond the art of the phy sician to cure. lam a mother—wretch ed mother. I see my children sinking daily deeper and deeper into waot, which I have no means of relieving.— My sickness is oi tho heart, aud death alone our. end my sorrows, but even death is dreadful to mo—for it awakens the thought of misery into which my children would bo plunged ” Her emotious choked her utterance, and tears flowed unrestrained down her cheeks. But tbe pretended physician spoke so consolingly to her, aud mani fested so warm a sympathy for her con dition, that the heart of tho woman throbbed with pleasure that was unwou nd. “Do not despair,” said the benevolent stranger ; “think of preserving a life that i is so prec'ous to your children. Can I wiito o prescription here The poor widow took a little prayer book from the hand of her child who sat with her in tho bol, and tore out a blank leaf. “I have no other paper,” said she, •‘but perhaps that will do.” The straoger took a penoil from his pocket, aod wrote a few lines upon the paper “This prescription,” said he, “you will find of great service to you. If it is necessary, I will wrue you a second. I have great hopes of your recovery.” He laid th3 paper upon the table and went away. Searoely was he gone when the elder son returned. “Cheer up, mother,” said lie going to her bedside, and affectionately kissed her. “See whal a kind and benevolent stranger has given us. It will tnako us rich for several days. It has enabled us to have a physician, and he will be here in a moment. C impose yourself now> dear mother, and take courage.” “Come nearer, my son,” said the mother, looking with pride and affection upon her )hi Id. “Come nearer, that I may blest j' u. G"d never for- akes the innocent md good. Oh, may ho still watch over you io all your path* ! A phjsiciau has just boon here. He was a straDger, but spoke to mo wi h com passion aud kindness that was a balm to my heart. When he went away he left that prescription on tho table—see if you can read it,” Henry glanced at tho paper and start ed back ; be took it up, and as he read it through and through, a ciy ot wander and astonishment (scaped him. “What is it, my son ?” exclaimed the poor widow, trembling with an appre hension of, she kno v not what. “Oh, read, dear, dear mother ! God ba« heard us !"’ The mother took the paper from tho hand of her son, but no sooner bad she fixed h;r eyes upon it than—‘My God!' she exclaimed, “it is W«*hing*on !’’ and fell fainting upon her pillow. The writing was an obligition frirn Was! iogton (for it was hira,j by which the widow was to receive the sum of one hundred dollars from his own private property, to bcdiuhlcd in case cf neces sity Meanwhile tho expected physician made his appearance, and c ccn awoke the mother from her fainting fi‘. The joy ful surprise, together with the good nurse which the physician provided her, and a plenty of wholesome food, soon restore 1 her to perfect health again. Tbo influence of Washington, who v'sitod her more than once, provided for ! the widow friends who furnished her with constant and profitable employ ment; and her sons, when they had ar rived at the proper age, were placed in respectable situations where they were able to support themselves, and to ren der the remainder of tbeir mother’s life comfortable and happy. Let those who read this story remem ber, when they think of the great and good Wasington, that he was not above entering the dwellings of poverty and carrying joy and gladness into the hearts of its inmates. This is no fictitious tale but is ono of a thousand incidents which might be related of tim, and which stamps him one of tbe best of men. A married lady being asked to waltz, gave the following sensible and appropri j ate answer,- “No, thank you sir. I have hugging enough at home." VOt. IV. —NO. 30. N. Y. correspondence of Chicago Tribune. Thu marrying Question. tub drmohalization or mobkrn dress WIIT MBN DO NOT MARRY. Much of tho -jurcloss morality of that present day is owing lo tho way in w bicb women dress. There is no ca villing nt tho fact or protending to ig nore it, but the moderately-dressed wife and mother is fast disappearing from our homes. Tbe domestic daugh ter has long since become a myth, an and in her place we have a creature of hair and humps—wasp hips, Grecian bend ed, high heeled, chignoned young lady, who laughs loud and talks fast, and writes herself “Murie’* or “Julie;” ar.d who is a complete success in doing nothing and knowing nothing except the slnng literature of tbe day. This model of young womanhood has a splendid wardrobe, a waist that meas ures eighteen inches, and a lover with tight pantaloons and a side whisker whom she marries under the protest that if she sees someone that she likes better she need not cleave to him any longer, knows as well as you and I do that divorces can be procured without publicity She vvoul 1 not have any children for the world —can’t endure the trouble—should die, & ■. —the only sensible thing she was likely to do.— You can see her any day on the side walk, or in a carriage—often at the church, always at the opera—and she is a representative of a large class, not wicked or intentionally immoral, but oh 1 so weak with the overburden of dry goods, laces, jewelry, enough to crush out any better primiple that ► might assert itself. Overdressing do moralizes a woman. It takes from her that purity of thought and charac ter, the high prerogatives of a perfect life, which is her legitimate birth-right, and she sells it for a tness of pottage. It opens the avenues of her soul to n thousand destroying influences, and Dads her by silken tendrils over into tho valley of tbe shadow of death. I thin’: of this when I see mothers help ing tho;** little one into the thraldom; I thought of it last Sunday, as I glanced from tPo chapel-master, in his robes, to a babv-worshippor in blue silk, en pa nitr, all ruffles und folds, and Grecian bend—to the white hat, with its clus ter of mature red roses—to tbe small wrists clusped in jeweled hands—to tho shapely baby finger heaped with dia monds. I looked at the soft, pale, gol den hair, arranged just like mamma’s to tbe white brow on which the lace hat so properly rested—to the clear, cut features of the nature, precocious face, luminous with goveu years’ wis dom, and I could not reiterate the good mao’s assertion; “Os such is tbe Kingdom of Heaven.” It 6eemed to me too much in the fashion of this world “which passeth away.” I think the reason young men do not marry is became girls have ceased to bo do mestic, and spend a great deni of mon ey up an dress They are not content ed to live in that quiet way, and dress moderately; they must go out, dress and ride, and frequent places of amuse ment ; have suppers and bouquets, and receive adulation; It costs a great deal of money, which the young man furnishes, and he never gets ahead enougli to marry : so they repent and tiy their luck over again, it is the easiest thing in the world to do with less luxury, but u involves a little sell'- sacrifice and economy, and these vir tues are fast becorr ing exotics. Fully one half of tho girls who are now till ing situations iri stores, offices, etc , go the;o in the first place in order to bo able to diess better. They live in plain but comfortable homes, and must help with the housework or the children of their own kin ; but they hoar glowing accounts of tho city ; they want the finery that is denied them, and they want to go ftom those peace ful home lives, from tho kind guardian ship of parents, to the toll and tempta tions of th ) ta i hunt system.
