Well indeed do I remember, m
The first promise of thy hand and heart;
‘lVhs in the month of September,
The exact date I know not.
’ Fwiis ufjon a lovely, soirry night,
As we rode side by sid<;
When the tnoon and suis shone beautifully bright,
‘Twas tlien you said, you'd be my bride.
Oahu and serene was that night,
-And tver will it he dearly remembered by im;
For ’twas then my heart was fi'lul witli deliglit,
My every hope and thought with glee.
No—never by ine will it be forgot,
Though many my years may be,
For yet, d'-ar arid precious to my heart,
Is the thought of that promise, then made by thee
Though several years have since passed away,
Y- r, to my memory hid Mesh deaij
And let me be engsg and as I may,
I he sound of that promise i- in mine ear:
’l'is becuise I then loved thee;
Ye—l had loved ibee long b fore,
Hut since, I've Joved thee m re dearly,
Though to love has been all my store.
And't van then I was greatly overjoyed.
From oveiy doubt and fear, mv Heart was free ;
And many happy hours have i since employed,
!u sweet ( oummnion with thee.
Yea, ind ed—happy horns wer..- they,
Such as I never knew bejore;
\nd such as none can so pleasantly while away,
But those vi ho truly love, and honestly adore.
And thus my happiness continued to grow,
And for a time all was j y with rue;
Until upon a certain occasion you kuo v,
You said mine, y ou had declined io he,
Tims my long cherished hopes were bligh ed,
.My jpy ami happiness turn and into despair,
And at nothing could 1 be delighted,
Nay—soriow and sadness was my share.

A Short Story with a Moral,
BY ELLEN C. HOBBS.
‘‘Honor thv father and thy mother,” is the
first commandment with promise—promise
is beautiful in its exemplification as glorious
n its conception. A mother’s lips first
ureuthed into our ears those words of lloiy
Writ, and explained their general irnpoit :
and from the time when the story of gray
ha red Eljah and his youthful mockers firs:
excited my young imagination up to mature
womanhood, the respect the inspired li*r the
white hairs of age has grown with my
growth, and strengthened with my strength.
We sigh as we think of the days when the
young were wont to how before the hoary
uead, and by gentle, uncalled for ass duit'es
stew roses in the old man’s tottering path.
Bat those kindly customs of our puritan
ancestors have passed away. The world
grows selfish, a< it grows old; and the nge
imnned eyes must turn homeward for Slavs
to their trembling hands and tottering I .mbs.
Here should they find the fulfilment of the
first commandment with promise.
No true womanly soul ever withdrew her
gentle hand Iron her poor old father or mo
ther; no manly heart ever forgot the home
l >Ves of his waywaid childhood, or cease.l
to hear the echoes of a fond mother’s pray
ers. Olten the cares of this world, and the
deceit fulness* of riches may choke up the
nborn affections of narrow souls; but few
ii.d far between is the fondly loved child
who can be so untrue to himself or Iris Ma
.xer.a.s wholly to forget the mother who bore
him.
Yet even with the holiest dictates of our
reasons and souls as with the wider applica
tion of the commandment, has Fashion in
smuated her-poisonous influence; and the
s m. pe chance, who left his parents’ humble
.mine reluctantly and tearfully, to make his
wav in the world, forgets, when fortune fa
vors. to welcome his rustic mother to his
own luxury, with the same cordial emlnace
with which he left her in bis childhood
itotrte. Her dim eyes perchance, do not
•utch readily the meaningless courtesies o!
bfe; nevertheless they look none the less
lovingly upon Iter child than when they
witched over bis helpless iu fancy. Net
withered hands may be large and bortv.and
never have known a jewel: but none the
ies- gently did they smooth the weary pil
low or bathe the heated brow, in the depen
dent days of boyhood. Ah ! she’s the same
loud mother >tdl ; her aged and work bent
torm. dad in rustic garb, conceals a heart
full of never-dying love, and ready for a
new sacrifice.
And thanks to the Great Being who gave
us the cpmrtvandment with promise, now
and then theie stands up a noble man. true
to h.s inborn nature, who throws off the
trammels of Fashion, however wale the
gulf which separates him. in the world’s
eve. from that humble poverty ofhssbov
nood—who is not ashamed to love, before
Its fellows, the humble mother who gave
him birth.
“My Mother—permit me to present you
to her,” said an elegantly dressed, noble
look ng young man. to a friend for whom
he had crossed a crowded drawing-roo >■,
with his aged parent leaning on h.s arm.—
ihere was a dead .silence for full five min
utes. The moral beauty of the p : cture pets
vaded every soul, and melted away the frost
worli from world worn hearts. ’Twas the
old foreground of a fashionable summer te

A Mother’s Example.
A SKETCH.
“They have come at last !*’ exclaimed Ed
ly K .ssell. turnhig suddenly from the draw
ng room window, and hound ng into the
.udi. There was a deep flush ofexcitemerit
upon his fair brow, and his slight frame
trembled with emotion. As the hall door
inclosed, arid the servant ushered in the
raveters, he drew back a step, and breath
essly gazed upon them with parted lips,
through which came no words.
“My own darling!” cried the central lady
>1 the group, rushing toward the hoy. and
folding his head to her heart with a long
caress. Then holding him a little away,
and surveying him carefully, continued—
“ Are you bewildered, child, to meet, me
>nce more? Don’t you remember your
mamma?”
“Not quite,” stammered Eddy. “I wish
my father c add have come with you. J
emetnber him so web.”
No reply was made to these words, and
s the tans: Ie of the arrival proceeded, Ed
ly drew hick to one of the windows, and
unde quiet observations.
Four years since his mother had left him
in the charge of an aunt, his dead father’s
na den s s:er, since whi h event, the lady
had been abroad with friends—first upon
>us;nes, resulting from the decease of her
Disband, and later she h id been detained by
11-heath. But she had returned now. lls
antiepition was realized!
Yet it was like a dream to him.
“Ban this lady be truly mother?” he re
flected, while he watched her every move
ment. “I thought she was I.ke my aunt,
•nlv it may be a little fairer. But Aunt
Ivadd e sso different ! She has such a still
wav, and it is sweet and pleasant, with her
nild.good face with it, like the water that
fl ivvs through grandpa’s green meadows.
Mamma is grand; I hardly dare approach
tier. She moves about with such a sweep,
md her cuils are so full, and her jewe s so
very la; ge and so bright, and—well, every
thing about her is most like things I see m
pictures! I know I shan’t feel like kissing
her so much as I kissed Aunt Kaddie.”
But a week before, Eddy had celebrated
h s seven'll birthd iy, at his grandfather’s in
t ie country, and then and there by the con
c irrent force of the circumstances which
usu.i ly attend such an evvnt, he had arri
ve I at the conclusion that he was no longer
a I .ttie hoy. but almost big enough to think
of be ng a man one day. Some such thought
ecurred to him now, and, straightening
him-ell up to the utmost, with one hand in
his pocket, and the other in his bosom, after
the fashion of h s grandfather, he had an in
enliou of impressing his mother and the
strangers, that he had gained every way as
well as the rest of them.
He give out, utterly, however, and was
quite a ch hi again, when lie came to part
-vbli Aunt. Kaddie. This was a sore trial,
md that night he s djhed himself to sleep
done, with no one to listen to his prayer.—
By the following afternoon he found himself
more used to his mother. While her French
woman, L sttte, dressed her hair, he sat on
a cushion at her leet, and examined, some
choice engravings whic t had been brought
from Paris expressly fir him. The prints
and h:s mother’s lively observations, amused
him highly, and he was happy once more.
Presently a servant entered, extended to
Mrs. Bussell a small silver salver, on which
was he card of a visitor.
Eddy dropped h s portfolio and ob=e**ved
witli curiosity. But what was his astonish
ment when he heard his mother dire’t the
ervant to say to tier visitor, that she was
•not at home.”
“(Why. mamma!” he exclaimed, “you
don’t, want John to say that, for you are at
home, and it is a lie.”
“Hush !” ej iculated Mrs. Bussell, turnmg
to survey her new head-dress in the rnirroi
beside her.
“Aunt Kaddie has always told me it was
very wicked to tell what is not just the
ruth.” continued Eddy.
“Your aunt is a queer, old-fashioned wo
man, child. You must know there is a great
difference between a leal falsehood, and any
hing like this, which is necessary in oider
‘o get along handsomely,” replied the mo
ther.
“Well, I can’t see through this.” Eddy
said, partly to himself, and with a sad, puz
z'ed snr.
“All! mnn Dieu /” murmured Lisette
•‘What astonishment is this ! riairien
u like to th s enfant and she gave him a
glance of real pity for his ignorance.
“What do you say?” asked Eddy, eager
ly.
Eiselte shook her little curls, and said no
more, but Mis. Bussell laughed lightly.
“He may as well begin to learn French,’
she observed, at length, “for he is nbw too
green of his age, hy much.” She said, (turn
ing to E Idv) “Ah, nriy God ! I have seen
no hing like this-child/ You observe, that
she deplmes your stupidity, or your warn
of knowledge what belongs to society.”
“1 hen we must Ue and swear, too, if we
want to be fine,” inquired Eddy, his wondei
increas ng to positive alarm.
“Now. child, v u bore me. : Take you
pictures out into the blue-room, till mv toi
let is made. This moment, or I shall get al
unto a tremor,” concluded ihe mother.
Eddy obeyed; and !rom that hour he was
changed. After thinking it all over a ione
time, he made up his mind that iiis mot lie
and Lisette were much grander than Ann
K iddie, and they knew a great deal more
ill n she conlcT know. At nil events. In
vvoulu do.or sav anything rather than ih e
they should laugh at Ins awkwardness
when, too, lie was just beginning to t.rv i<.
he a man. At darner, that day. when !u
----siw his mother and tier guests drink off Hi
sparkling wine, ho passed Ins glass to b
fiiled, and drank, likewise, though it seemed
so strong, he could do nothing but wink so
some time afterward.
But the wine, and the fashionable fa! e
hoods and the Fiench oaths, with whatso
ever also pertained to the new regime, sooi
became tumdiar to him. so that he was qu’n
ready to ridicule Ins old conscientious ><tu
