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!

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, divde our life.

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 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 for sickness—and therefore, girfn, it 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 old maid for 4 thousand ywon, oad then join the Bhakers than to buy re- pentance at this price. No ever made this trade wha didn’t fit either n phool, a moon cuaa or a down for a husband. 7. In digging down into this subject I §nd the digging grow* harder the futher I git. It is much easier tow inform yu who not tow marry than who tew, for the reason th are ix more of them.

HOW * LIOHTKD C4NM.K WAS KKXOTXD 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.
