“There Mamie, do you. see -that
bright star that has ju t sprung forth ?
isn’t it lovely? 1 have long called
that ny guiding star: I have never
yet named it, but now I ihick I have
found one I can trust, and for him it
shall be called da Lng Georg', nmy
you never forget me.” “For Gt-orge,
then, you name your star, is it rny
little cousin? Then I shall select this j
one just above, and will call it Chat
lie.” “Good Mamie, next to Gi-orge
I would select him. But now j.r mise
me, dear, that you will neTSr beget
th is. In a few days I must leave you,
when we shall meet ag .in, Heaven
aloi.e knows, but we will often look
at our stars, remember the (b ai iittle
cousin, tbe sweet ones they were
named fur, and the t. any happy mo
ments we have spent together.
Em this, our reader has, perhaps,
come to the correct derision that the

this control, and t e min i is fixed on
mure important subjects.
The first speaker, Bel o Unit, we
may term passable, u t one if the
rare beauties painters rave over, omy
a haughty looking girl with hewit I
- eyes The other, Mamie Lee, a
perfect blonde, was what the present
generation Would cull a beauty. Since
her life did not prove so eventful as
that of the former, wo must tegiu
with this. We have all, doubtless,
noticed that there are some who Bed
favored of the gods ; Mamie was cer
tainly one of the favorites; her hark
floated as p'Bcefuily down the stream
as could he expected; no cold waves
beat against it, hut a 1 was calm. As
the delicate bud hurst forth in all Its
splendor, scores of ad timers bowed
to worship it. But never during the
many years that had intervened since
the naming of the s u>s, had Ctiailie
been forgot 100, nnd he was at a 1
limes put amount in her affections,
and alter a few years of society life'
he leads her to the alter aud claims
his bride. And now they pass on,
nnd i tit attention must he turned to
out friend, Belle Ilolt, not so Lindiy
has fate dealt with her as wi.lr the
lovely h onde. .She had . lways been
rather poor, hut fom years after the
incident mentioned in the commence
ni nt of this, her father died, and the
gaunt form of poverty stalked in by
the side of the other un welcome guest,
death. In a few months ihe mother
hiavely breast'd the waves, then God
called the weary pilgtim to her rest
Soon after the mother’s death, the el
dest child, a daughter, was married,
and moved to a distant hour**, off ling
to share it with Belle, I ut this she
proudly rejected since she had bet a
so opposed tc the n.arnage. Only a
short time the brother waited an 1 he.
too, joined the band ol Hymen, and
now Belie was left aim eto steer her
trail buik. For a time her home was
with her brother, but a situation as
governess was procured 1.. r her and
she felt him. Hei nw home did not

a milltoniie, who was soon vety much
in love with the young governe s,und
indeed offered her hisheaft, hand and
fortune These she refused to accept,
Guce he was quite an old mac, and
one she feit she could net love. Tho
tbs' refusal did no good; his visits
continued, as did also his pleadings.
II 1 ailed ono evouing, finding her
ir. father low spirits decided to im
ptov his time; on y a few minutes
she allowed him to plead, and then
asked for a short time to consider his
last offer; the request was granted,
and sue went forth into the cool n ; ght
j air to collect her thoughts;—she look
ed up for her guiding star, but it was
j not visible, —all was darkness, —and
i foeling that she was alike forsaken by
all other friends, she rushed into the
house, and extending both hands to
, her old lover said, “I am y-urs when
j ever you wish it.” “Then, darling,
I you lose your fieedotn quite soon,”
and a kiss sealed the engagement. At
| th 1 #, she was almost tempted to ricall
her words, hut the tempter said, “too
la'e.” They decide 1 that the engage
ment should not last longei than thiee
months, and the startling fact was
announced to the few friends whose
names weie enrolled upon her list. —
Preparations were immediately be
gun, and r.o lady could Wish for a
more aduiitable lover than Belle's
proved to lie. A f*iv days before the
wedding was to take place, the bride
elect was invited with her affianced
to dine with a friend. It was the iust
time she Was to appear before her
c.a rb.ge, and she enjoyed it to the
fullest extent. As the eveuing was
diawing to u close, while Belie was
talking with one ol the ladies, the sub
ject of religion was introduced by the
gentleman. For some time they con
versed I.of te Belie seamed to take
arsy interest, as the discussion became
warin'- , she turned to take u part, but
bet H'tt titicn aud scarcely been drawn
when in 'he c o e-t manner poss'ble,
her lovei unm uu ed hui he was an
it.tidal. Fa get i g the presence of
ad others, she confronted him with
flushed cheek- a-d flashing eves, say
ing as she chi so, “And do you think
that I m uil many an infid'G? one
wh■' ileu.e- the i xistente .1 Ji i oVah,
who dares gaze upon the many he u
ties of His footstool, and say, there is no ;
God No, man, l vnu and S 'OUI to stoop.
1 am not surprised that you have:
hitnerto avoided so assiduously tbe 1
su'j-ct of re igioti; not u til yon'
thi iu it too late do you tell this, hut I
thank God the vows have not been
spoken, nnd will never ho. Take
hack your ring, ai eady it begins to j
pr-ss my finger, nnd lock hatelul.— i
Console! our engagement at an end
and henceforth we meet as strangers.
But stop iiel 19 we part; I must beg
that you will iicee; t eurr Father, —
thiuk what a sad sight it must bo to
see an old man, halt bent with age,
leaning tor' s' pport upon a feeble
cane, and . emping his God. Oh, man,
look up, seek a stronger support!
Your days are numbered, already
your steps ar-. verging on the con
fines of another world; soon you must
stand before the bar of justice, a.id
unless you repent, will be cast into
darkness.”
And the proud Christian girl, with
ben; head and heavy bosom, walked
slowly from the room. The lover had
siloutly r Carve-el the ring, arid uow
bent his tread in humble su’ mission
to die ..ectee. The reader wilt per
haps think there was little consisten

g|-s against the wav. s, Belie decided

night after fully satisfying herself
that her sister was safely resting in
| the arms of Motpheus, she silently
stole from the houst, and down to
: the river’s odge intending to end all
jof her troubles. There you will say,
| her religion had forsaken her again,
j Well, perhaps, it had, are you sur
prised? She looked around, thsre was
jno one near to interfere, she raised
her cyo3 to tlie heaven to offer a pray
er; a bright star attracted her atten
tion, she looked again, and !o! it was
her guiding star. In a moment ail
the happy hours of her childhood
were recalled; the cousin she had
promised not to forget, and the and ar
friend she had named ' tier s'ar for.
With a silent prayer of thankfulness to
God, she softly' murrtiered, “No,
George l will r.ot,” and lonely turned
to retrace her steps. In a few days
she left for her cousin’s home where
she received a warmer welcome. One
of the first friends she met after her
anival was the hero of be r childhood’s
dreams, George. “But, oh how chang
ed” she exclaimed, after their first
meeting anu from this time a feeling
of disgust for him, sprung up in her
besom. Poor, innocent little Mamie
was really pained to see this, ns she
was so anxious for bor to he pleased,
hut people more experienced iu love
affairs, said it was only a good com
mencement, and so it pioved to he.—
One night as they ware seated upon
the balcony of her cousin’s fiouse, ho !
still nPailirig, and she begging that he
would cease; he noticed a spasm of
pain cross her fac , her hands were
clasped, and her eyes raised to heaven.
Then she suddenly turned to him,
and said, “Cease yotlr pleadings,
Geoige, I am yours, now and torever;
a moment ago, I felt Irk- asking God,
to relieve me of yotir presence; I raised
my eyes to heaven, in and they were
caught by tha ! bright star just abovo i
us; —that has been my guiding star I
through life; in childhood, I named j
it for you; aud as my eye was cough' :

of love rushed suddenly over me, and

all tfiis dislike I have hitherto had j
for y .ii, ou v tends to strengthen the)
love.”
“Thank God for this.thy darling,”
said George, “Tis a moment 1 have j
long prayed and wait' and for. Jind j
now let us go ii and tell o r dear
little cousin tbe joyful news.’ And
with ciarped hands they disappear.
And now since we Stave seen them

Y umg men in our cities engiged
in business, with a small caidtal, or iu
positions with small salary, wi-n
homes of their own and d< mestic hap
piness, but they think, and with rea
son, too, they cannot afford it. Such
is the case. No young man trying to
economize can afford to marry,at least
a youg lady in the city. Her tastes
and ideas are formed in a home of
luxury, and to conn down to house
keeping with but one servant, no car
riage, and the many other inconven
iences are enough to discourage her
for life, and instead ef the smiles a
fiappy wife should wear, ate frowns
of darkest hue. !u% young man you

Orr one ol the delightful days last
week a young lady well know n in tiie
exclusive first circles ol Saufrancisco
foi unrivalled cbaims and elegance of
accomplishments, was driven round
to make a congratulatory call upon
a muiried lady who was happily con
valescent from that occasional sacred
event in the lives of wedded ladies
which, far from being a sickness, is
the perfect louminution of their health
She was shown into the parlor, and
for the few moments required to ar

where mother and child w-re (icing
well as could be expected, was left
with no ether to entertain her than

“And liain’t 00 never doin’ to have

Tfiis should be our wate Award at

: px’sts no danger whatever that we
shall ever get our farmers, too rich.—
If theynre rich naturally no matter —
a liberal supply ,'f tnanuro will ke p

tho aarue time, it will make them

hero is 'he basis of tire best of all ma
nures. It has been well ascertained
by experiment tiiat an e.rdinaty cow,
proper ly kept, furnishes GO pounds c!
solid manure per day, amounting in a
year upward of ton tons, which, il
mixed with three times the weight of
muck or any other good absorbent,
will make a compost quite as goi and as
the cow manure by i self, and thus af
ford fol ly tons of tllo best kind of fer
tilizer for the land. It has boon as
certained tiiat the liquid manure is
quite equal to the solid, and if this
were taken up hy absorbents, one
cow would he made to yield eighty
tons of manure lor tiro farm! How
much manure does one cow, accord
ing to our ordinary manaqrt. ment, con
tribute to the improvement- of th"

ricultural authority lo" their accuracy.
But even if wo divide, them 1 y 2, and
estimate the amount of nranuie, solid
and liquid, from one cow, cillcuted

with no expense, we may increase out

“Dirl yon s r o thet olrJ m&V, m.t
thore? Ho canies cff had children
that cry. Didn’t yon see that basket
lie carries chiidrencff in? When a bey
tries, a bird whistles, and ho conus
i and t-ukes him right off, I saw him
*nke a boy off tbo other day. He
cried, and he cams and took him in
his backet, and away he went. Now,
if you cry any more, 1 will whistle for
him. and ho will come right after you.”
'i las is just what I heard a lady say
to a little bey four years old.
The otd nwn to whom sffti referred
was a poor old 4legro, who bad lost
his tent, arid was walling along the
streets on his knees.
When the man came creeping along,
ho htcame frightened and ran into
the Lon e. At and this lady, taking
advantage mf his fears, told him all
this to try and make him a better boy.
I pit;u-d :ho little follow but I pitted
the lady more. No doubt she will be
greatly shocked wheu he begins to lia
in earnest, when she can put no de
pendence in his word. Should this
ever be the case, she may blamo her
self for it for she set him the exarn

Children expfet tiro truth, and if
they find themselves deceived, it not
only shakes their confidence in others
but they being very apt scholars will
soon learn to li? and deceive too.
G and loves truth, and we shculd
never, under any circumstances, tell
an untiuth. Tbo Apostle Paul says
wo must be “girt about with truth.”
It is an important part of a Christian’s
armor.
19mv Far Off (lie Sun Js.
Light, which travels with amazing
velocity, says Prof Young, lequiros
eight mi; uets to reach the earth. —
Sound would require fourteen yoara
to travel from the s.,n to the earth, so
that if we saw an explosion at its sur
face, it would be fourteen years be
fore wo could hear of it. Hut if wo
could place a rod of iron from tho
earth to tho sun, and then striko it
w ith a hammer on on© end, thesonnil
would reach tro oppostto end ffi
about eleven months. Hut perhaps
the most singular illustration of the
sun’s distance was drawn from tho
human e. orioniy. Sensation took a
ceit. >iu time to travel to 1 lie nervo
ccnteis; and it we could imagine a
hum . i infant with an arm long
enough to roach the stir, it would
take 150 years for the sensation to
reach him af’er burning bis finger;
in other \\ord j , lie Would be dead
several years before the sensatiofi of
burning could ref.eh him. The sun’s
distance '.vu3 so inconceivable that it
was only by mailing such comparisons
we could turn any idea of it at all.
