WET WEATHEK TALK.
BY JAMILS WHITCOMB KILRY.
It ain’t no use to grumble and c vnplaln;
Ell’s just as cheap and easy to rejoice;
When God sorts out the weather and sends
rain
W’y rain’s mv choice;
Men generally, to all Intents
Althongh tliey’re ap’ to grumble some—
Puts most their trust in Provklence,
And takes things as they come—
i. That is, lhe commonality
Of men that’s ltVed as long as the,
Has watched the world enough to lean
They're not the boss of this concern.
With some, of course, it’s different—
I’ve seed young men that krowed H all,
An’ didn't like the way things went
On this terrestrial hall;
But, all the same, the rain some way
Rained just as hard on picnic day;
Or when they really wanted it,
It m»ybe would’t rain a bit!
In this existence, dry and wet
W ill overtake the best of men—
Some little shift o’ clouds ’ll abet
The sun Off now and then,
But maybe, as you’re wonderin’ who
You’ve feol-Uke lent your umbrella
And want It-out’ll pop the sun,
•And you'll be glad you ain’t got none.
It aggravates the farmers, too—
Ther’s too much wet, or too much sun,
Or work^or waitin’ round to do,
Before lhe plowln’s done.
And maybe, like as not, the wheat,
Jest as It’s lookin’ hard to beat.
Will ketoh the storm—and jest about
The timo theoorn’s a j'lntln' out.
These here cyclone’s a foolin’ round—
And back’ard crops—and wind and rain—
And y it the corn that’s wallered down
May elbow uy again!
They ain’t no sense that I can see.
For mortals such as yon and me,
A faultin’ Mature’s wise Intents,
And lockin’ horns with Providence!
It ain’t no use to grumble and complain;
It’s jest as cheap and easy p> rejoice;
When God sorts out the weather and sends
rain,
W’y rain’s my choice.
From the Companion
THE OLD SCHOOL-HOUSE.
Over among the red-topped chestnut trees,
stands the o’d school-house, Ben!
And murmurs fill 1he air like buzz of bees,
^* '’*^ -'' ''■’ ’’“'1-’ ' ' V -rr*.
Ah! does it seem so long since we, too,, bore
The satc v el and tbe slate?
And carelessly our school-boy honors wore.
And laughed at time and late?
Just, fifty steps, trod by a boy’s rough feet,
I’ve counted, o’er and o’er—|
From the old pike—’tls now the village street*
To the gray, battered door.
It seems an age »go since first I dragged
May Robin on my sled,
And you, behind, wi’li pretty Nelly lagged;
Alas! theso both are dead.
And EUersly, the grandest boy in school!
I think see him now,
Ready with pen, or exercise, or rule,
With od-like eye and bro v.
Can it be possible that yesterday
1 saw him, as he moved
In zigzag olrclcs on tho public way.
No longer feared or loved?
O time, what patches do thy fingers set
On garments free trora stain!
O rust, and sloth, and greed, what prizes get,
That Heaven would gladly gain.
Ben, you and I, thank God, have hitherto
Our race with honor run,
And we may thank the little school
too,
Itss'udy and its fun.
For there we learned, not musty books alone,
And feared no culprit-rod —
For one fair paint now singing near the
throne,
Taught us to honor God.

A soldier in the Confederate army, J.
H. Reed by name, was taken as prison-
er in 1862, and lodged in the barracks
on Johnson’s Island. As he was of a
social nature, he was soon on intimate
terms with the other prisoners, but
there was one among them for whom
he conceived a particular liking. The
two became fast friends.

HOMERYILLE, GA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3,
One ot th'j first persons he met there

of them kept his promise of
reformation for neither had pledged
himself by a higher strength than their
own.
Reed pursued a downward course,
till one day in Chicago, happening in
at one of Mr. Moocly’s meetings, he
heard the message of Christ, and was
led to love Him in whose love alone he
could find help and resolution to over¬
come his insatiable appetite.
He then obtained employment as a
ly, traveling by salesman. Called occasional¬
his business, to Boston, he always
sought Christian the rooms of the Young Men's
Association in that city, and
attended their meetings.
At one of these meetings he saw a
familiar face, and at the close greeted
with joy his old friend.
“Are you a Christian?” was the first
question. ‘‘Yes;
a Christian six months old.”
“And I, two years ago, accepted
Christ as my Master,” and as the two
men embraced each other, Mr. Reed
tola .to the surprised bystanders the
story of himgelf and his friend—now

“When we first saw each other,” said
he, “we were in prison together; then,
after ten years apart, we were in deli¬
rium tremens together; and after nine
years’ separation again, now we are
bound together by a new tie, that I hope
no that temptations find of earth can sunder, and
will its blessed fruition where
temptation and sin shall have passed
away forever."

This stouy has been told in the Com-
paninn, full of butitissuchafresh,brave'story, stimulus to noble deeds, /d
so a
of the sympathy that makes us all kins-
men, that we let the Rev. Robert Col-
a hotel one very cold day when a little
boy, with a poor, thin, blue face, his
feet bare and red with the cold, with
nothmg to cover him but a bundle of
rags, came and said,—
•Tlease, sir, buy some matches.”
“No, I don't want any,” said the
gentleman.
“But they’re ^ only a penny a box,” _
the little fellow pleaded.
“l ee, but you see I don’t , want a
box.”
“Then I’ll gi'e ye two boxes for a
penny,” the boy said at last.
“And so, to Jib; get rid of him,” the gen-

“Sol gave him the shilling, and he
started away. I waited for him, but
no boy came. Then I thought I had
lost my shilling; but still there was
that m the boy’s face I trusted, and I
did not like to think badly of him.
“Well, late in the evening a servant
came and said that a little boy wanted to
see me. When he was brought in, I found
it was a smaller brother of the boy who
got my ragged shilling, and but, if possible, still
more poor and thin.
“lie stood a moment diving into his
rags, as if he were seeking something,
a nd then said,—
“ ‘Are you the gentleman that bought

“‘Yes!’
“‘Weel then, here’s fourpence cot o’

The separat on of two married and
mated lives when they are old seems one
of the soiest cruelties ot fortune. But
sometimes tbe hard necessities of pov-
erty railroad compel it. The following scene
at a station must have affected
the few who noticed it even more than
the reading of it affects us:
“De Luke Sho’-train am de one we

It was an old, old, colored man, stoop-
shouldered, trembling with age. He
was had accompanied her Sunday best by his aged wife, who

bundle in her hand. She was wiping
her eyes with a handkerchief, and m
lieu of something better he was using

HEWS FROM ALL ABOUT.
A Scene in School.
An incident occurred in a school
Roxbury during Prentice, the mastership 0 f Dr
Nathaniel which, exhibited
the noble side ot boy-nature. It
been often told, but will bear repeat-
ing.
Dr. Prentice threatened to punish
with six blows Of . a heavy ferule the
first boy detected in whispering, and
appointed detectives. Shortly after,
one of them houted, “Master JohnZig-
let is whispering.” John was called
up, and asked if it was a fact. John
by the way, was a favorite both with
his teacher And his school-mates.
“Yes.” answered John. I was not
aware what I was about. I Was intent
on working boy out amim, and requested
the who sat next to'-band me a
rithmetic that contained the rule which
I wished to see ”
The doctor regretted his hasty threat,
but told John that he could not suffer
him to whisper, or escape the punish-
ment; and continued, “I wish I could
avoid it, but cannot without a forfeit-
ure of mv word. I will,” he continued,
“leave it to any three scholars you
may choose, to say whether or not I
omit the punishment "
John said he would agree to that,
aid immediately called out three boys.
The doctor told them to return a ver-
diet, which they soon did, after consul-
tation, a= follows •
