Up early in the morning, Just at the weep of day, Straining the milk in the dahy, Turning the cows away— Sweeping the floor in the kitcher, the beds up stairs, Washing the bieakfast dishes, Dusting the j arlor chairs. Brushing the crumbs from tlie pantry Hunting for eggs in the barn, Cleaning the turnips for dinner, Spinning the stlicking yarn— Spreading thc whitening linen, Down on tho bushes below, Ransacking every meadow, Whereat he rod strawberries grow. Starching the “fixings” for Sunday, Churning the snowy cream, Rinsing the pails and strainer Down in the running stream— Feeding the geese and turkeys, J/aking the pumpkin pies, Jogging the little one’s cradle, Driving away tie dies. Grace in every motion, Music in every tone. Beauty in form and feature, Thousands might covet to own— Cheeks that rival Spiing l oses, Teetli tlie whitest of pearls; One of thesi country m .ids is worth A score of your city girls, A TRUE STORY. One cold day in winter, a kd stood at the outer door of a cottage in Scot land. The snow had been falling very fast, and the poor boy looked very cold and hungry. “ May’nt I stay ma’am ?” he said to the woman who had opened the door.— “ I’ll work, cut wood, go for water, and do all your errands.” “ You may come in at any rate, un< til my husband comes home,” the wo. man said. ‘'There, sit down by the fire ; you look perishing with the cold;” aud she drew a chair up to the warmest cor ner ; then, suspiciously glancing at the boy from the coiners of her eyes, she continued setting the table for supper. Presently came the trump of heavy boots, and the door was swung open with a quickjerk, and the husband en-. tered, wearied with his day’s work. A look of intelligence passed between his wife ai>d himself. He had looked at the boy, but did not seem very well pleaded; he nevertheless made him came to the table, and was glad to see how heartily he ate his supper. Day after day passed and yet the boy begged to be kept “ until to. morrow so the good couple, after due considera tion, concluded that, as lung as he was such a good boy, and worked so willing ly, they would keep him. One day in the middle of winter, a peddler who otten traded at the cottage, called, and, after disposing of some of his goods, was preparing to go, when he said to the woman : “ You have a boy out there splitting wood, I see,” pointing to the yard as he spoke. “Yes; do you know him?” “ i have seen him,” replied the ped dler. “Where? Who is he ? What is he ?” “A jail bird.” and then the peddler swung his pack over his shoulder. “That bov, young as he looks, I saw in court myself, and heard him sentenced 1 ten months.’ You’d do well to look careful* ly after him.” On ! there was something so dreadful in the word “jail.” The poor woman trembled as she kid away the things she had bought of the peddler; nor could she be easy till she knew that dark part of his history. Ashamed and distressed, thc boy bung down his head. llis cheeks seemed bursting with the hot blood, and his lips quivered. “Well,” he muttered, his frame sha king, “there 8 no use in my trying to do better ; everybody hates and de spises me ; nobody cares for me.” “ Tell me,” said the woman, “how come you to go, so young, to thatd*ead ful place? Where is your mother?” “Oh 1” exclaimed the boy with a burst of grief that was terrible to be hold—“oh ! I hadn’t no mother ever since I was a baby ! If I only had a mother,” he continued, while tears gushed from his eyes, “I wouldn’r have been bound out, and kicked aud cuffed and horse-whipped. I wouldn’t have been saucy and got knocked own and run away, and then stole because I was hungry. Oh ! if I’d only had a mothe er ?” The strength was all gone from the poor boy, aud he sank on his knees, sobbing great choking sobs, and rub bing the hot tears away with the sleeve of his jacket. The woman was a mother, and, though all her children slept under the cold sod in the churehsyard, she was a mother stili. She put her baud kindly on the head of the boy, and told him to look up, and said from that time ho should find iu her a mother. Yes, even put her arms around the neck of that for saken, deserted chidl. She poured from her mother’s heart sweet, kind words—words of counsel and of ten derness. Oh ! how sweet was her sleep that night —how soft her pillow ! She had plucked some thorns from the path of a little sinning but striving mortal. That poor boy is now a promising man. llis foster-father is dead. 11 is foster-mother is aged and sickly, but she knows no want. The “poor out cast ” is her support. NobW does he repay the trust reposed in him. “ When my father an 1 mother for sake me, the Lord will take uie up.” — I The Standard’'Bearer. •‘Truth Conquers AH Things/’ A Glittering Mystery. “ W hat hecomes of the prec ous met als ?” asks an Eastern journal and then proceeds,to consider the question and succeeds in throwing much doubt upon it, or rather leaving it in just as much doubt upon it, or rather leaving it in just us much doubt as before. The question, “What becomes of all the pins ?” has been often asked, perhaps, and answered with about the same illu mination. Ford. Ewer, many years ago, in this city, was hugely amused at a question in the Sacramento Union, namely, “Where does all the water go ?” To which interrogation the questioner proceeded, with the philosophical so* briety of an owl, to reply through a long column article, when it might have been answered in two words—the ocean. But it is not so easy to answer satisfac torily the question as to what becomes of the precious metals. That a vast amount has been ex'racted from the earth, according to an English writer who of course, must depend ufon guess work, not less than $,009,090,000, since the days of Noah, in gold and silver, there can be no doubt. Of this amount he thinks that $3,200,000,000 has been produced since the discovery of Ameri ca. The Christian world is credited vith having had $2,000,000,000, most which has been disposed of by ship wrecks, gilding, fire and various other ways, all effectual, we might suggest, as many of our citizens have disposed of theirs investing in stocks. lie thinks this loss proceeds at the rate of $16,000,000 annually, while the pro duction he puts at $40,000/100, which is undoubtedly too low. One.ffialf o: the balance, $350,000,000, he thinks is held iu the form of plate and orna ments. Of the the balance in the anti- Christian world, waste and losses omit ted, he thinks over a thousand billions have been hidden in Asiastic lands in different ages of the world, and he con tinues that is well knewn that a thou sand millions were thus hidden in Chi na in the six years succeeding 1851 ; that is, during the lime when wholesale murder and slaughter and wholesale robbery and despoJitimi were the busi ness of the natives and their enemies. One would think that China must be carpeted with gold leaf, paved with sik ver dollars, glittering with the precious metals, did he think only of he vast sums sent there for hundreds of years past, little or none ever comes back.— But iomehow those metals have a late there, as they have elsewhere—they disappear. Like many other commodi ties, they serve their purpose and dis appear. What became of all the gold with which Solomon coverel his grand temple? What became of all the Span ish spoils iu South America and in Mexico ? One might ask such ques* tions forever and be no wiser thereof. — Gold and silver serve their purposo and disappear, as do the human race and old boots and all other material things, and tncre is none so wise as can tell us ac curately what has become of them.— When the fawcet is turned, where has f he gaslight goue ? one might ask, and questions would be as reasonable and perhaps as difficult to answer. We Know pretty well where our little por tion of gold and silver has gone, but that knowledge does not give us any particular gratification.— Alta Cal if or* nia. Eighteen Hit mired Years after Death. A correspondent Jour nal, writing of excavations at Pompeii, says : “ Among the most interesting of the objects found recently- are two skeletons, one of a somewhat elderly man, the other of a woman. They were found in the A ia Stabia among the ashes of the last eruption, evidently overtaken in their flight and buried in the cinders. According to thc usual method employ ed tq preserve the external appearance of objects, liquid plaster was poured into the cavity, which serving as a mould, a fan-simile of the forms was obtained; and thus perfect preserved, the statue like bodies were placed in glass cases in the Pompeii muse "in. — While appreciating all the horror of such a death and the suffering endured, as shown by the position, I cannot but imagine what would have been thc aso tonishmsnt of that man or woman had sum: prophet informed them that eigh teen huudred years after their death their forms, and even as much of their garments as were not consumed in the eruption, would be placed in a museum for inpsectkn by a multitude of sight seers, some from lands, the existence of which they had never dreamed of. “ The poor woman is lying on her face, and even the form of her hair, put up behind, is seen. One arm shields her forehead, and she is sup< ported by the other. Her limbs are well formed, and traces of a gar ment arc seen passing in folds around her. The man, although placed on his his back in the exhibition, when found was turned on his side.. One arm re ts on his hip ; the ot \er is uplifted. The face is somewhat distorted, but massive uod smoothly shaved. Even the form of the fastenings of the sandals arouud the ankle, and of the long button high er up ou thc leg to hold them, is clear ly seen. The limbs are partly drawn up. 'I he skeleton of a tolerably large dog, also leeently found, is in the Mu seum of Pompeii, his whole form pre served in plaster, in the same manner as those ju-t mentioned. lie is !)ing on l.is back writhing in suffering, bi’ing his hind leg. The rings aud collar are j laiuly seen.” Oa Founding a Home. Fiist’secure a home, which is, a house to live in, and the proper people in it to compose the foundation of home life.— Directions as to house decoration or skillful cookery, or the control of cook or chambermaid, are of very littlo aei count, if the people who sit down in their pretty rooms day by day find their hearts torn by jealousy, or their brains rasped by nervous irritation. Let Tom and Amelia turn from the altar, resolving' to start fair and give them selves the largest chance of a clear un derstanding of each other, and, in con.- sequence, of future happiness. Let them turn their backs on boarding houses, shut their eyes to all considera tions of style, be deaf to all hints of Mrs. Grundy’s expectations, and buy or rent a house within their means. If they are too poor for a house, then a flat; if not a iiat a room ; or if the worst comes to the worst,let then.,like our friends at Rudder Grange, hire a canal boat; only let them go to housekeep ing, and (jo it alone. Comfortable quar ters, perhaps, are offered Rhem in the house of one of their parents, who very naturally try to keep the young birds just mated a littlo longer in the old nest, especially if they are well to-do° people, to whom the addition to the fam ily will be only a pleasure, and not a burden. Amelia’s husband not being able to support her in the style to which she is accustomed, what can bo more proper than they should occupy part of her father’s mansion, and reap the ben efit of well-trained servants carriages and sumptuous fare? Or some other motive of economy or affection dictates their plans. Amelia’s mamma being a widow, and devoted to her child, why shoull she live alone in her house, peo pled for her, perhaps, by ghosts of the beloved dead ? Why not take the spare room in the young people’s house and make a part of their new life ? Or it may be Tom’s unmarried rister or bach elor uncle who comes in to make a third in the partnership just begun. Now this new comer may be the most clever, amiable, dearest soul in the world, and the arrangement one dictated by pru dential motives and affection ; but ninety nine times in a hundred it is destructive of the fine tone and temper of the new ly formed household. The first of married life ie a passage, at the best, over dangerous quicksands ; no matter how intimate their knowledge of each other was before marriage, husband and wife have now to find each other out in a thousand new and unexpected phases; and to adjust themselves each to the other in the habits, tastes,even language of every day. It will require all the tact and the patience which love gives to enable them to do this, and the inter ference, even the presence, of this third party, is always a disturbing element. The more near and dear the relation of this third party the more apt to come be tween the wife and husband. Unfortu nately,too, the whole tone of married life usually receives its key-note from this first year; and so invariably damaging is the influence of outsiders upon it,that the best receipt, probably, to insure a hap py marriage, would bo to make a holo caust of all kinfolk on the wedding day. As that is not practicable, let Amelia and Ton live as much apart as possible lor at least twelve months, sel fish as such reserve may appear io their families. After they have become in a measure o .o, and the uncertainty and disquiet tude of the storms and sunshine of ear ly marriage have given place to a set-' tied home atmosphere, the occasional presence of strangers has usually a wholesome influence. With the com panionship of a guest now and then, Tom and Amelia are less likely to fiud their thought* and opinions grow stale and tedious. Charity, too, assumes, no more beautiful form than iu a gracious hospitality, especially to those who ?re needy in body and mind. Wo know certain households where there is al ways to be found an orphan girl going to school with the other children, or a helpless old black “ Aunty ’’ in her chair by the kitchen fire, or some oth er waif warmed and sheltered from the cold without. We remember a certain youug girl who, like most Virginia wo men, was skilled in housewifery, who took into her father’s, one after anoth er, girls of fourteen from an adjoining mill, and trained them herself as seam stresses and cooks, teaching them to read and write at the same Time. Be fore and after her marriage she fitted and placed eight women in useful, hon oiable careers of life. The home, when founded, should always be large enough to give some creatures needing help, or it may be too small for any blessing to rest upon, which fails like dew from above.— Rural Xcic Yorlces . Privileges of Leap Year.— “ Young ladies have the privilege of saying anything they please during leap year," she said eyeing bin) out of the corner of her eyes with a sweet look. llis heart gave a great bound, and while he wondered if she was going to ask the question which he had so long desired and feared to do, he answered “ Yes.” “ And the young men must not re fuse,’’ said she ‘•No, no I. How can they ?’’ sighed he. “Well, then,” said she, will you ” lie fell on his knees and said : “Any thing, anything you ask, darling.” Wait til! I get through. Will you take a walk, and nut hang around our house so much ?” Aud ho walked. — Oil City Derrick. In Advance. Why Married Persons Five Iho Longest. Dr.. ll a 11 1 in one of his “ Health tracts,” gives a few reasons why mar riage is favorable to health : They fell unsettled. If indoors after supper, there is a sense of solitariness, inducing a sadness, if not settled melancholy with all its depressing influences. And many, many hours in the course of tin; year are spent in gloomily activity, which is adverse to a good digestion and to a vigorous and healthy circulation. llis own chamber or bouse being so Un inviting, the bachelor is so inclined to seek diversion outside—in suppers with friends, in clubs which are iotrodueto ties to intemperance anti licentiousness, or to these more unblushing associatians, which, under the cover uf darkness, lead to speedy ruin of health and morals; and when these are gone, the way down ward to an untimely grave is rapid and certain. On tho other hand, marriage lengthens a man’s life bv its making home inviting—by the softening influ ences which it has upon the character and the affections—by the cultivation of all the bettor feelings of our nature, and in that proportion saving from vice and crime. There can be no healthful development of the physical functions of our na‘ure without marriage. It is necessary to the perfect man —for Di vinity has announced that it was “ not good fora man to be alone.” Marriage gives a lauiiib!e and happy object in life —the provision for wife aud children, their present comfort and their future welfare, the enjoyment in witnessing their happiness, and the daily and hour ly participation in affectionate inter change of th mglit and sentiment and sympathy. These are the considerations which antagonize and lighten the bur dens of life—thus strewing flowers aud castiug sunshine all along its pathway Voltaire said : “The more married men you have, the fewer crimes there will be.” Marriage renders a man more viituous and more wise An unmarri ed man is but half a human being, and it requires the other half to make things right. And it cannot bo expect ed that in this imperfect state he can keep the straight path of reetitudo, any more than a boat with one oar can keep a straight course. In nine cases out of ten, where married men become drunkards, or where they commit crimes against the peace of the community, ihe foundatian of these ac s was laid while in a single state, or where the wife is, as is sometimes tho case, an suitable match. Marriage changes the current of a man’s feelings, and gives him a centre for his thoughts, his affec tions, ana his acts. Here is a home for the entire man. The counsel, the af fection. the example, and the interest of his “better half,” keep him from errat ic courses, aud from falling into a thou sand temptations to which lie would otherwise be exposed. Therefore the friend of marriage is the friend to soci ety and his country. Regulating tine Family. She was a lady named Magruder, and strict in reference to family morals. In deed, while Mr. Magruder was a good man, and endeavored to dischargo his duties as a parent with piopriety, yet his views as to wh-t really was proper often ran counter to the views entertain ed on the same subject by lis wife, andsl'e had spunk. These differ ences on a certain occasion are thus de*- scribed by a common frierd : “I called on Magruder’s the other morning on my way down town, and as I knew them well, I entered the side door without knocking. I was shocked to find Mr. Magruder prostrate on the floor, while Mrs. Magruder sat on his chest, and rumpled among his hair as she bumped his head on the boards and scolded him vigorously. They rose when I came in, and Magruder, as he wiped the blood from his nore, tried to pretend it was only a joke. But Mrs. Magrundc rinterrupted him: “ Joke ! joke ! I should not, I was giving him a dressing down. He want ed to have prayers before breakfast, and I was determined to have them after ward ; and as l.e threw the Bible at me, and hit Mary Jane with the hymn b 'ok, I soused down on him. If I can’t rule this house I’ll know why. Pick up them Scriptures, and have prayers ! You hear me, Magruder ? It’s more trouble regulatin’ the piety of (his fam fly than runniu’ a saw mill. Mary June give your pa that hymn book.” “ I left before the exercises began.” Truth —-How beautiful is truth ! Ir. this world, where there is so much falsehood and deceit, whereby hearts arc estranged, recriminations, assaults and crimes engendered—how beautiful the true thonglit, word and deed. Like the sun smiling out amid the angry storm —like the bight stars shinning through the heavy night cloud —like friend clasping the hmd of friend— like rebutting wrong —like the lan>*c of virtue ringing on the shield of vice— like heaven upon earth, and God in man is Truth ! Precious and Price less. Dearer than smile of friend, love of parent, or pomp or fame. Tiuth is all. By this we know tho nature and value of things—XYsehood is a cravan a dastard. Truth is bold, noble and God-given, beyond every other attribute of the soul. — Hall.
