Wcigliiag the Baby.
“How unity puauds aloes the bsby weigh,
Hatty who name but a mouth ago 9
Ilow many pound* from the crowning earl
To the i*oay point of the rest less toe ?”
Grandfather ties the ’kerehlePa knot,
Tenderly guides the swinging weight,
>lnd carefully over his glasses peers
7b read the record, *-ouly eight.”
Softly the echo goes around ;
The father laughs at tho tiny girl,
The fair young mother ainga the words,
While grandmother vnxooUiea the golden enrl.
-4nd stooping above the precious thing,
Nestles a kiss within a prayer,
.Murmuring softly, "Little one,
Grind father did not weigh you fair.”
Nobody weighed the baby’s smile,
Or the love that came with the helpless one
Nobody weighed the threads of care,
From which a woman’s life is spun.
No index tells the mighty worth
Os little baby’s quiet breath,
A solt, unoeasing tnetrJnomb,
Patient aud faithful uuto death.
Nol'ody weighed the baby’s *out,
»W hum on earth wo there be
1 list e.uhi avail: God only knows
Its value in eternity.
Only eight pounds to hold a son!
That seeks no angel’s silver wings,
lint shines in it this human guise,
MV ithin so small and frail a thing!
Oh mother, langh your merry note*;
Be gay and glad, but don’t foiget
From baby’s eyes looks oat a soul
That claims a soul in Halcii yet.
Bine Sky Nemewhere.
It was the remark of a child, con
soling himself for the loss of a prom
ised pleasure on a rainy afternoon,
that there was “blue sky somewhere ”
And the sapphire heavens, flooded
with sunshine, on the next day made
his faith a verity.
The lesson is for you, and for all of
us, reader, and we need it quite as
much as the boy who sat looking out
of the window upon the laden sky and
fast falling rain, and trying to find
comfort in the thought that, tar above
the cloud and storm, the sun was shin
ing in his undimined splendor.
“Into each life some rain must fall,”
says the poet-teacher, and in the days
that come “dark and dreary” we are
apt to feol, in spite of experience and
reason, that the brightness has passed
from our lives forever. But it is not
so. Like travelers we rise, now upon
mountain heights, and now descend in
to deeply shaded valleys ; pass through
open savannas, down upon which the
golden sunbeams fall; and anon aro
buried in dense forests, that seem
stretching to the interminable vistas to
the very end of our joutney. We en
counter all aspects ; have our morn
ings, our noondays, our evenings and
our nights with only the stars for
guidanco ; our wild, contending storms;
and our sunny, tranquil atmospheres.
Has it not been so with yor f re ider ?
And yet, when the sun goes down, or
hides his face in mantling clouds, does
not j’our heart grow faint, and your
faith in “bluo sky somewhere” become
feeble as the rays of an expiring lamp ?
The very children are our teachers!
Between our inner and our outer
worlds there is something more than
simple analog}-; the relation bears the
higher one of correspondence, even to
minutest things ; so that nature, with
all its infinite varieties of aspects and
changes, representing interior asjiectg
and changes, becomes our instructor.
Our true poets rise into a perception of
this, and give us lessons of wisdom
that sink deeply into the heart, and be
come to us as lights in dim places,
strength in weariness, and confidence
in last results when the mind is trem
bling in doubt and fear. Not mere
words in rhymotic order are the poet’s
when he says :
"He still, sail heart »nd cesse repining;
Behind the clouds is the sail still ahiuiug;
Thy fate is the common fate of all.
Into each life some rain must fail.
Home days must be dark and dreary.”
“If I could only believe that the
clouds would pass away—ihat aunny
days would come again—l might weep
less,” was the language of one who
sat in the darkness of sorrow and dis
appointment, as a friend and consoler
ottered her the poet’s lesson, that she
might take it into her heart. “But I
can see no rift in the clouds, no line of
light along the dark horizon ; no abate
ment of the fast-falling rain.”
“We are sure that the rain will
cease; that behind the clouds the sun
is shining. We have the fullest
confidence in returning sunbeams,
and why ? Because we know that
clouds arc merely earthly exhalations,
that they do not rise high in the heav
ens—that they can never reach the
sun, whose beams shine ever on with
undiminishod splendor, and have power
to disperse the densest vapors that ev
er drew their curtains before his radi
ant face. Now the world of mind,
like the world of nature, has its sun
as the poet has so beautifully inti
mated Thought sees by its light, and
the heart is refreshed und beautified
with flowers and verdure by its
warmth. But at times this sun is
hidden by cloulds, and there are shad
ows in the mind and rain upon the
heart. The days ate dark and dreary.
Why? Whence are these clouds?—
Let visible things become our teach
ers.”
The countenance of the listener
grew attentive, and the friend went
on:
“They go up from the natural ea-th
as clouds go up from the earth of our
minds ; and even while we sit it sor
rows for beams that have faded from
our paths, the sun is dissolving these
clouds in rain for refreshment and
fruitfulness. Our hearts are watered
in the days of sorrow, that they may
bear good fruit when the sunshine
comes again.”
“If it ever come.” The despondent
soul could not look beyond the clouds.
“Have you heard of Mrs. Elford’s
trouble ?” asked the friend.
"No.” There was a quick flash of
interest in the mournful face. “What
of her ?"
“Her husband is dead.”
“<>h no !" Tho ladj clasped her
hands in sudden surprise and pain at
this intelli<vence.
"The news came yesterday. He
died on the Pacific coast.”
“Captain Elford f
"Yet”
“< Hi dear ! that is trouble ! And he
has left her poor, without doubt.”
"I fear as much.”
"Have you seen her?”
"\'os, I called this mominif.”
“How is she ?”
“Entirely prostrated by the blow.”
“IW Margaret!” The tone of
sympathy was genuine. “I must go
to her in this affliction. I must try to
speak some word of comfort.”
‘Sho needs all the support her
friends can give. It is her hour of
darkness, ana she is sorrowing as ons
without hope. The sun has withdrawn
himself behind thick clouds, which are
pouring down heavy rain upon her
“® e8 > 8° her by all means,
and tell her that, th« ugh her sky is
dark to-day, and filled aith cloud and
storm, that the sun of God’s love is
still shining as brightly as ever, and
will, in good time of Him who is all
merciful, sond down his beams upon
her heart again.”
if was an old and dear friend who
had passed under the cloud of sorrow,
and the doubting and despondent one,
already half-forgetting her own pain,
was pondering over words of consola
tion.
“God is really nearer to us in afflic
tion,” she said, as she sat holding tho
nerveless hand of Mrs. Elford, “than
at any other time, though He may
seem farthest off; for His infinite, di
vine pity is moved with the t.-ndorost
compassion for the griefs ~f His chil
dren. Though his may seem hidden
from us, it is not the less a smilinir
face” b
A sob and a long tremulous sigh
were the only answer.
"Into each life some rain must Ikll,
Some days must be dark and dreary.’’
Yet no response came. The words
of the comforter seemed a3 if spoken
to shut ears. Not so, however. They
entered, and like seed when first cast
into ground, gave no life sign of their
presenco. But memoryjield them for
the time of fructification.
And now it happened to the des
pondont and grieving one, who had
refused to be comforted, yet tried to
speak in consolation to another heart,
that light seemed to come around her.
bhe did not see the sun, nor even a
rift in the clouds with azure in the
far distance. But it was not so dark
in the chambers of her soul. The
pressure on her spirit thut seemed at
one time as if it would close her life in
suffocation, was not so great. She
could breathe deeper, and with even a
aei se of relief and satisfaction.
“My poor friend !” she said, many
times has she thought of Mrs Elford.
And her desire to bring relief to an
other heart grow stronger, her own
consciousness of suffering diminished.
In the magnitude of another’s sorrow
hers seemed to grow less.
Almost daily sho visited her afflict
ed friend, into whose sad face a little
light would come on appearance ; and
though it faded instantly, the sign of
pleasure at seeing a wolcome counten
ance was too palpable for any mistake
as to its origin. She had really been
helped and comforted, though she
knew it not; and the face of the com
forter was therefore welcome.
When next her own friendly visitor
called, she was not sitting in idleness,
brooding over the irrevocable past;
but really forgetful of the past in pres
ent thought of home duties with which
her hands were jusy.
“How is it with you to-day ?” said
the friend, as she took her hand.—
“But I need scarcely ask, for the
cheerful tone of your countenance tells
me that light is breaking through the
clouds.”
“I have been too busy to think
dark thoughts this morning,” was the
answer; and even as this was said the
lips which had arched with a feeble
smile fell back into a sadder outline.
“And if you keep on in this path of
duty the weight that is bearing you
down will grow less burdensome. But
how is Mrs. Elford ? I have not seen
her for some timo ”
“More cheerful; she has received a
letter, stating that her husband had
the most careful attendance during his
illness, and that he had left property
to the value of $15,000 ; so she is not
left destitute. This is a break in the
clouds, showing a clear blue sky
above them. Let us not give way to
weak distrust, or a paralyzing de
spondency, when the rainy days come ; I
but keep hands and thoughts busy
with useful work, having faivh in the
law that governs the world of mind
as well as the world (>{ nature, and
live in hope of to-morrow's sunshine.”
A Chinaman’s Opinion or Hum. -
Tskiug a walk, one tlsy, through the
oomoitsssrist stores in Hong K tog,
with • friend, I came to • portiun of
that establishment where four Chinamen
were eugaged in emptying a large tub
<-f run—whieh they were carrying in
gallon mcasares to another portion of
the building. Addiesning myself to
the one who wis apparently the bead of
the par’y, I nqiirei, “Do you like rum
John “No, sir,” said the China
man. “Why not ?” “Rum not proper,
sir, make Chinaman number one fool ”
Hopes and cares, anxieties and tears,

How to lac beautiful when oldt
I can tell you maiden fair—
Not by lotions, dyes and pigments.
Not by washes for yonr hair.
W lile you're young he pure aud gentle,
Keep your passions well —l’mlltil.
Walk, work, and do your duty,
You’ll be beautiful wh u old.
Soma- white locks as fair as jrolden.
Gray as lovely a* the hrowu,
And the smile of age more beautiful
Than a youthful beauties frown

Dear Girls, are yu in search ova
husband ?
This is a bumper, and you are not
required tew say ‘Yes’ out loud, but
you are expected tew throw ysur eyes
down unto the earth, az tho yu was
looking for a pin, and reply to the in
terrogatory with a kind of draulin
sigh, az though yu was eating an oys
ter, juice aud all, off from the half
shell.
Not tow press such a theme until it
bekums a thorn in the flesh, we will
presume (to avoid argument) that you
are on the lookout for suiuthing in
the male line tew boost you in the up
hill of life, and to keep his eyes on the
breeching when you begin to go down
on the other side of the mountain.—
Let me give you sum small chunks of
advice how tow spot yure fewter hus
band :
1. The man who is jealous of every
little attenshun which yu git from
sum other fellow, ytt will find after yu
are married to hint, luvs himself more
than he duz yu, and what yu mistook
for solissitude, you will diskover has
changed into indifference. Jellousy
isn’t a heart disease, but a liver com
plaint.
2. A mustath is not indispensable ;
it is only a little more hSir, and iz a
good deal like moss and other excres
cences—often does the best on siie
that won’t raise anything else. Don’t
forgit that those things which yu ad
mire in a fellow before marriage yu
will probably have tew admire in a
husband after, and a mustash will git
tew be very weak diet after a long
time.
I 3. If husbands could be took on
j trial, az Irish cooks aro, two-thirds ov
them wo tld be returned ; but there
don’t seem to be eny law for this.—
Therefore, girls, yu will a,>e that after
yu git a man, yu have got lew keep
him, even if you loss on him. Con
sequently, if yu have got any kold
vittles in the hous, try him on ’em
once in a while, during scouring sea
son, and if he swallers them well, and
j sez ho will take some more, he iz a
mand who when Blue Monday cunts
will wash well
4. Don’t marry a pheller who is al
ways a telling how his mother duz
! things It iz az hard tow suit these
men as it iz tew wean a young one.
I 5. If a young man ken beat yu play
ing on a pianner, and kant hear a fish
■ born playing in the street without
j turning a back summersett ors account
of the musick that iz in him; I say ship
i him ; he might answer tew tend babe,
j but if you sot him hoeing your garden
you will find that you have got tew do
it yourself. A man whoze whole heft

for a female tew be an old maid suc
cessfully. A great menny hex tried ii
and made a bad job or it. Everybody
looks upon old maids just «s they do
upon dried yrn-bs — in the gnrrett, Lt

ain't a mistake that yu should be will
in to awop yourselph oph with some
trew phellow for a husband. The
swop is a good one, but don’t swop for
enny man who is respekted jiat because
his father iz. You had bettor be on

tew, for the reason th are ix more of

I don’t think yu will, foller my ad
vise, if I give it: and, therefore, I will
keep it, for I look upon advise aa I do
upon castor ile—a mean dose to give,
and a mean dose to take.
But I must say one thing, girls, or
spile. If yu can find a bright-eyed,

VXOM AN OPEN BV: BkL OB GCSiOWDKa.
One of our oldest merchants, who i*
soon to pass away, and who formerly
carried on business in Beaver street,
residing, a* it was the custom in old
times, over his store, tells the follow
ing thrilling narrative, which he occa
sionally relates with great effect:
A party had collected at his house
to give eclat to one of little family fes
tivals which brighten the dark traces
of life, and cheer the human heart in
every clime. It was hie diwqfhtor'a
wedding day ; crowds of her young ac
quaintances circled around her, and
her father gazed proudly upon the face
of the young bride, he wished as bright
a prospect might open for hi.* other
children, who were gamboling merrily
among the crowd. Passing through,
the passage connecting the lower
rooms, he met the maid servant, au
ignorant country wench, who was car
rying a lighted tallow candle in her
band, without a candlestick. He
blamed her for this dirty conduct, and
went into the kitchen to make some
other arrangements with his wife
aboat the supper toble. The girl short
ly returned with her armsful of ale
bottles, but without the candle The
merchant rmraediatoly recollected that
several barrels of gunpowder had been
placed in his cellar during the day,,
aud that his foreman had opened onw
of the barrels to select a sample for a
customer. ‘Where is your candle ?’
be inquired, in the utmost agitation.
1 couldn’t bring it up with raw, for my
bunds were full,’ said the girl. ‘Where
did you leave it ? ‘I had no candle
stick, so I stuck it in some black And
that's there in one of the tubs.’ Thw
merchant dashed down the cellar stops;
the pussage was long and dark, and
as he groped hia way on, his knee*
threatened to give way under him
hw breath was choked, and his flesh
seemed suddenly to become dry and
parched, as if he already felt the suf
focating blast of death
At the extremity of the passage, izr
the front cellar, under the very room
Where bis children and their friend#
were reveling in felici ‘j he discerned
the open powder barrel, full airy ost to
the top, the candle stuck lightly in the
loose grains, with a long red nnl
burnt-out wick topping the small and
gloomy flame. This sight seemed to
wither all his powers, and the merry
laugh ter of the youngsters above struck
iqxm his heart like the knell of death.
He stood for a few momenta, gazing
npon the light, unable to advance.
The fiddler commenced a lively jig,
and the feet f f dancers resotmdod with
increased vivacity; the floor shook
with their exertions, and the loose bot
tles in the cellar jingled with the mo
tion. He fancied the candle moving
—was falling ! With desperate ener
gy he dashed; but how was he to re
move it ? The slightest touch would
cause th t small live coal of wick to
fall into the loose powder. With an
equaled presence of mind, he placed a
hand on each Videos the candle, with
the open palms upward, and the dis
tended fingers pointing toward the
object of his c ire, which, as his hand»
granduaUy met, was secured in th*
dasprng or locking of his fingers and
safely removed from the head of th*
barrel. When he reached the head
of the stairs tho excitemnent w»s over;
hot the rvwetion was too powerful, and
he fell into ft*|of most violent an l
dreadful laughter. H* war ewveyed
senseless to bed, And many weeks
elapsed ere his nerve* recovered suf
ficient tone to allow him to reruns hi#
habits of every day hie.
