Competent literary critics have
ttfQßOuiieed tho following poem un
surpassed by any other production
of Its class iu our language. It Is
IM-rfoct in rhyme, beautiful in figure
and expression:
Emu. the bear drawn ui*b,
TM Sour ww’vf waitM o ton*.
For the angel to open a door through the sky.
Phut rnv spirit may break from it prison and try
Itsvoice in an infinite song.
.m*t oon. a* tho slumbers of night
fl>rm# with pcacc-giving breath.
tko #rUm, half lifted, rovealed to my light
Tboaft windows which look on the kingdom of
IB light,
■ That borders tho river of death.
And a via ion full a oleum and sweet.
■ BriMk'iug gleams of a mornlog-lit laud;
{fatv the white shore whieh the pale waters beat,
1 ffikd I heard the low lull as they broke at their
fS^PPSkflaet
see. . Who walked ou the beautiful atraod.
And 1 wondered why spirit* could cling
To their clay with a struggle and sigh.
When lifo'M purple Autumn is hotter than Spring,
And the soul flies away like a sj>arrow toeing
In a climate where leaves uever die.
L ima, come close to my bed,
And lay your dear head ou my brow ;
The same touch that thrilled mo iu days that are
fled.
And rained the lost roses of youth from the dead,
Can brighten the brief moments now.
We have lived from the cold world apart.
|Hi And your trust was too generous and true
For their hate to o'arthrow; when the slanderer's
dart.
Was rankong deep iu my desolate heart.
I was dearer than ever to you.
I thank tho Great Father for this,
That our love is not laviahed in vain ,
Each genu in tho future will blossom to bliss,
And the forms that we love and the lips that we
kiss.
Never shrink at the shallow of pain.
By the light of this faith am 1 taught
That tuy labor is only begun;
£ In the strength of this hope have I struggled and
fought
IWilb the legions of wrong, till my armor has
1'" caught
K The gleam of Eternity's sun.
| Xeona, look forth aud behold.
■ . From hcadlaud. from hillside, snd deep,
The day-king surrender* his banners of gold: i
The twilight advances through woodland and ,
gbo world.
■'?' And th** dews arc beginning to weep.
The moon's silver hair lies uncurled
the broad-breasted mountains away :
The sunset's red glory again shall bo furled
On th- walls of tho west, o’er the plnius of tbo ;
world,
I shall rise ini limitless dav.
Ot coine not In tear* to my tomb,
Nor plant with frail flowers the sod;
Ther- is rest among roses too sweet for its ,
HHPi- gloom.
And life where th*' lilies et* rually bloom
y-,.{n th*. balm-breathing gardens of CH><l
*'et deeply those memories burn
Which biud me to yon and to earth.
And I sometimes have thought that my being
would yearn
In the bowers of its beautiful home, t*> return
An<l visit the home of its birth.
Tw<‘Uld even be pleasant to stay.
HF And walk by your side to the hint.
But the land-breeze of heaven is beginning to j
gnpgbab&dmvs are meeting Eternity's day,
And ita tumult is hushed iu the past.
Laotia, good-bye; should the grief
That is gathering now, ever be
Too dark for your faith, you will long for relief.
And remember, the journey, though lonesome, i
brief,
Over lowland and river to me.
—James u. Clark.
‘•Once.”
Ksf“l>o you ever attend the theatre?”
| eaiil a young man to a blue-eyed
maiden, who hung on his arm, as t hey
rfKMnonaded the streets of New York
dpe mild evening in October. The
arl's eheek crimsoned, asrheanswer
od tlie interrogatory in the negative,
and added:
W; “My mother lias taught me from
ochildhood that it is wrong to attend
su< h places."
"v “But your mother formed, perhaps,
improper preiudiee, from exaggern-
Bed accounts given by others; for I
" have often heard Imr say she never
lattended ono in her life.”
If He spoke eloquently of the drama,
(comedy and tragedy, and dwelt with
’‘pathos on the important lesson there
go be learned of human nature,
fe ‘Go with me once,’ he said, ‘and
judge for yourself.’
P Persuasion and curiosity triumphed
over maternal precept and example,
las she hesitatingly replied:
If ‘l’ll go but once.’
She went; and in that theatre a
charm came over tier like that which
|tbe serpent sent, forth from his dove
’ like eye. She went again and again,
and from that house of mirth and
laughter she was led to one from the
portals of which she never returned.
Around a center-table, where an aa-
Itrul lamp was shedding its mild light,
sat three girls, one holding in her
1 hand a pack of cards. At the back
of her chair stood a young man who
(for years had successfully resisted
every attempt made by his compau
poas to induce iiim to learn the char-
Incter of cards.
> ‘Come,’ said she,‘we want one to
j make out our game. Play with ns
gonoe, if you never play again.’
; Her eyes, cheek and lip conspired
(to form an elegant battery, which
(sent forth its attack upon the fortress
(of good resolution in which ho had
\ long stood secure, uutiilt telUikotln
walls of an ancient city when jarred
by the fearful battering. He learned
the cards and played. A few weeks
afterward I was passing his door at
a late hour, arid a candle was shed
ding its dim light through the win
dow. Since that time I have looked
from my chamber nearly every hour
of the night, from the close of day
until the early morn, and seen the
light faintly struggling through tiie
curtain that screened the inmates of
that room from everv eye save His
who seetli alike in darkness and
noonday. Gambling brought witli it
disease, and death earno just as he
numbered the half of his three score
ami ten. During his last hours I was
sitting bv bis bed-side, when he fixed
on rue a look I shall never forget, and
bade me listen toitis dying words;
‘I might have been a different man
from what 1 am; lint it is now too
late. lam convinced that there is a
state of being beyond the grave; and
when I think of the retribution which
awaits me in another world, I feel a
horror which I am indaequate to de
seribe.’ These were among the last
he ever uttered.
The Junior class of a Southern col
lege had assembled in a student's
room to spend the night in riot and
debauch. Amid the crowd was one
who had never recked a bad lesson
since his matriculation. In his
studies he was 'head and shoulders'
above the class. That day he had
failed. A shade of the deepest gloom
came over him, and he was melan
choly. Hut the wine and jest passed
around, while he felt like Lucifer in
Eden, while all was joy and gladness
around him. Said a eliminate:
‘Come, Hob, quaff this bumrmr, and
it will make you feel bright as a her
mit’s lamp.’
The tern liter whispered to him,
Drink once and forget the past. A
powerful struggle seemed going on
In his mind for a moment; but at i
last he shook his head and gave vent
to a flood of tears. That boy never
drank not even once. He took the
valedictory, and is now president of
a college.
Once! O. on this slender point hath
turned for weal or woe the destiny of
a deathless spirit. Ciesar paused but
once on the banks of the Rubicon,
but it was a pause like that which
nature makes when gathering her
Moments for the dread toruadm Eve
ate the forbidden fruit but once, and
her countless posterity huve felt the
fearful consequences resulting from
so rash an act.
Reader, remember once!
Swl IMWoe ■ulnr*—How To Do When
Yon So There.
rrointhn A„UuviU (N, C.) I^poifior.J
When you have letters to mail,
wait till it la time to close tho mail
they are Roinß iu, or, if possible, un
til the baas are locked, as it looks
more business-like to rush in just as
tho mail is leaving and ask to huvo
them put it in.
Never put stamps on your letters
until you get to tho office, and then
ask me or Ctol. Faipr to llek them and
put them on for you. We expect to
lick all the stumps used at this
and it la a source of disappointment
to us when people insist on doing it
themselves. When you makeup your
mind to put them on yourself, lick
each one two or three times go us to
Ret the I*lllll off, and then ask for a
little muei'tt'e. Don', iay l'or the
stamps until they are all stuck on
especially if we are hurried, and two
or three other men are waiting their
turn to be waited on. This gives the
postmaster a chance to rest, and the
men who are waiting for you to move
will turn upon you, faces beaming
with love and approbation. If it
makes no difference to you, put part
of tho stamps on the left-hand cor
ners, and some on t lie back of your
letters. This will Insure you ti re
membrance in the prayers of the
1 happy youth who cancels those
stamps. When you pay money at tho
office, try and get it upside down aud
wrong end foremost, so that we may
amuse ourselves straightening it up
before counting It. Tliis is one of our
chief pleasures, firing us all the
torn “shin plasters” you can spare,
for we like them much better than
larger bills, and they are so much
easier to count, fie sure, however,
not to have exact change.
You can generally save time by
counting your money down to us.
for you will nearly always count it
more rapidly and correctly than we
will. When'you want a money order
! ensiled, don’t sign it right the first
time. If we tell you it is payable to
I John Smith, sigu it J. Smith, then
[it will have to be erased and correct
ed. This helps to pass away the time,
and Is ft pleasure and a relief to the
I postmaster.
If the postmaster tells you to put
two cents on a paper, say to him that
you have seen larger papers go for
one cent, often, This is conclusive
evidence tlint he don’t know how
much to charge you and also that
the other postmaster was very careful
about weighing his mail matter. Al
ter tho postmaster gives you your
mail, ask him if “that is all.” Post -
masters are very apt to keep back
part, of your mail, unless closely
watched.
A strict observation of these rules,
and a few others which can better
be explained in person when you call
at the office, will make your visits!
desirable at any postoffiee, and post- j
masters and clerks will not forget to j
call for blessings on you in their]
hourly supplications. Affectionate
ly, yours, Johnnie Aston.

The Irish, Morally ami Physically.
Interesting statistical reports have !
recently been published which bring i
into comparison the different nation
alities composing the United King-!
dom of Great Britain and Ireland. In
this the Irish appear to a great ad
vantage on two important points In ;
respect to morality in the relations'
between the two sexes, and in respect ]
to physical health and mortality.
Scotland is the best educated of the
three countries, England occupies
the second place in that respect, and
Ireland tho last, fiut according to
the reports for 1872, Scotland has the
greatest proportion of illegitimate
births, England less, but least of all
Ireland. Only two fifths per cent,
of all the children horn in Ireland
were illegitimate. The reputation of
the Irish as a moral people is there
fore well founded.
Tho Irish, in spite of tho poverty of
the masses, seem to Ik; the healthiest
portion of the people of the United
Kingdom. Iu England the propor
tion of the deaths of males under five
years in 1872 was 41.49 per cent.,
while in the same year in Ireland it
was 2ti.82 per cent. Of those who
died during that year in Ireland 968
wore retained as persons over ninety,
flvo years of age. The number of
deaths of males in England during
the same period was more than five
times as large as the total number of
deaths in Ireland, but only 195 were,
returned as being ninety-live years
old and upwards. This is a pretty
good showing for the Irish people,
and a strong testimony in their fa
vor. Buffalo Courier.
