They've got a bran new organ, Sue, For all their fuss and search; They've done just as they said they'd do, And fetched it into "church. They're bound the critter shall be seen, And on the preacher's right They've hoisted their new machine \ , In everybody's eight. They've got a chorister and choir, Agin MY voice and vote ; , ; - For it was never my desire To praise the Lord by note. w I've beenji sister good an' true For five and thirty years ; I've done what seemed my part to do, An' prayed my duty clear; I've sungtho hymns both slow arid quick, Just as the preacher read, * 1 And twice, when Deacon Tubbs.was sick,. I took tho fork an* led ! And now their bold, new-fangled ways | Is cumin' all about; And I, right in my latter days, Am fairly crowded out ! To-day the*preacher, goqd old dear, With tears all in his eyes, Read--'I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies' I al'ays liked that blessed hymn I s'pose I al'ays will ; It somehow gratifies MY whim, In good old Ortonville ; ' But.when that choir got up to sing, % I couldn't catch a word ; They sung the most dog-gondest thing A body ever heard ! Some worldly chaps was standin' near, An' when I seed them grin, I bid farewell to every fear, And boldly waded in. I thought I'd chase their tune along, An' tried with all my might ; But though my voice is good an' strong, I-cOuldn't steer it right ; When they w as high; then I was low, '/ An' also contrawise ; . . . A?d I too fest, or they too slow, To 'mansions in the skies J : An' after every verse, you' know, They played a little tune ; I didn't understand,.an' HO -. . . I startcd m-too soon. ' . I pitched itprctty raiddlin' higb, I fetched a lusty tone, i .. . But oh, alas ! I found that I Was singing thoro alouo !. . They laughed alittlo, I am told, But I had done my best; And not a wave oj trouble rolled Across my peaceful breast. And sister Brown-I could but look She sits right front of me ; She never was no singiu' book, An' nevcr-meant to be; But tlien she al'ays tried to do The best she could, she .said, She understood the time, right through, An' kep' it, with her hoad ; But when she tried this.moinin', oh, I had to laugh, or cough ! It kep' her head a bobbin' so, It e'en a'most came oli'! Ah ! Beacon Tubbs-he all broke down' Asono might well suppose ; , Fie took one look at sister Brown, And meekly scratched his nose. He looked his hymn book thro' an' thro' And laid it on the scat, And then a pensive sigh lie drew, And looked completely boat. An' when thev took another bout, He didn't even risc ; But drawed his red bandanucr out, An' wiped his-weepin' ej-es. I've been a sister, good an' true, F'jr live an' thirty year ; I've done what secmed-m}' part to do, An' prayed my duty clear; But death will stop my voice, I know, For he is on my track ; . And some day I to church will go, And never .moro come back. And when the. folks get up to sing Whene'er that time shall bc I do not want no patent thing . A squeal in' over mo. A BROTHER'S REVENGE. A correspondent of the Philadel phia Press writes ' the history of a tragedy on the plains in the far west : Riding out above Julesberg, a rock was pointed ont to me, at the foot of which had been enacted a tragedy, the mere recital of which made my blood* run cold. The place was in a deep canon, surrounded by high bluffs, ati>l there was a loneliness and silence in the frowning rocks that oppressed every visitor, and made them glad to hasten their departure from "the gloomy dell. Many years ago two young men came from the east and, ascending the Missouri, engaged in the f?r business. They were bosom friends, and prospered in all their undertakings ; mon?y flowed into their coffers and they became weal thy ; ?till they stayed- in the west that had been so generous to" them, and finally determined to make it their permanent home. * .One of the young men had a fair sister, who lived at St, Louis, where the parties went annually to sell their furs and divide the profits of their business. The girl, infatuated by the tales of adventure, told her by her brother, longed to visit the great west, and begged, eo hard that her brother finale ly consented. Fora whole year she lived at the hunter's ranche on the head waters of the Missouri, and when the'time'eame for the partners to go down the river to sell their furs, the brother was sick and could not go. The girl was loth to leave her brother, but he "urged her to go home and see their mother, saying he would soon be well and follow -after her Introsting hfs darling to his friend and partner, the two * set out in a Mackinaw boat, well manned and provided with every ^comfort. .The brother grew woree and the summer wore away before -he was able to travel. . - In thc meantime the partner re? -turned, bringing him news from home and a division of the annual profits, . which were larger than ever before. I The brother, pleased with the manner in which their business ha managed, readily yielded to t gestion of hiV partner to d< visit home, devote the winter t< operations, and go down in th? with furs. All went well unt winter, when the brother rec letter from hie home that crazed him. The letter ?was fr mother, and gave a long and c stantial account of the seducti ruin ef his beloved Nina by hi ner. The girl had confessed thing, and told how he had s< her while bringing her home the Missouri and then abandone The poor girl, unable to bei shame, had. become a mania' -soon would be a mother. Th impulse of the - brother on re this letter was to seek out a and kill the villain that had i his family, but ;he thought th mentary punishment inflicted ball was not enough for such a ? drei, and so devised apian of re that no Indian could have ou for cruelty. Keeping the rece his letter a profound secret, he on with his business as usual, every? day met his partner .o: same terms of friendly intima formerly. When the skins packed, and -all in readiaess 1 down the river, the brother we Fort Benton and there had exec .a-will, leaving the name of the p< who made it blank, after-whit returned to his camp on Jefft Fork. . He/.then represented thj the Platte great profits were i niade in the fur trade, and prop .to his partner that instead of g down the Missouri they "shouh overland to Fort Kearney and 1 the boats at the mouth of the P] on tho Missouri. The inducer was that if they found all ? s re rented they would establish a bri of their business at Fort Larai and ihus increase their profits, partner readily assented to propo so manifestly for the' benefit of b and alone they sat out, taking on] pack mule to carry the flour ? bacon to be used on their jouri They?traveled lor many days, i finally came to the Platte, dc whi?h. they followed the .overh trail lo Benard's Ranch. Under sc pretense or other, the brother indu< his partner to accompany him i: the lonely pass, where, disarm! him, he securely tied him-hand a foot, and bouncl him^tothe rock.. ? first the partner" thougTb'fTtfw^'sb; cruel joke, but when the brother p: duced the letter and read it, the pc man knew that his time had con He confessed all aud asked to shot, but the brother had anoth fate in store fur his victim. Cool encamping by the rock, he sat dor to see his^partner starve .to deat On the third day the ill-fated mi signed the deed bequeathing all I property to thc injured girl, and tl brother attached ? fictitious name i witness of the instrument, by tl forms of which he was made execut< of his partner's estate. He the wrote letters saying he bad fallen ver ill with fever on the plains, and he did not recover t?rese letters wo ul be delivered by his beloved, partne All this the infuriated brother con pellet! the poor man to do, and the quietly awaited the end. Day b day the partner grew weaker, an brother gloated over his misery, ofte reading to him the letter from hi niv'ther. The poor man promised to marr the girl and make all the reparatio in his power to the family, but th brother waa deaf to' e/itreaties. A last the partner-dwindled to a skele ton-died, and the brother, afte burying his victim's ematiated corps in the sand, resumed his journey t St. Louis. There Le< gave out tha his partner had died, while on hi Way through the Rocky Mountain' and in proof of his-assertion deliverei the letters. The will Vas also proved and the girl became the dead-man' heir. Two years afterward ' th brother was shot by Indians, and be fore he died be confessed what he ha< .done. Some hunters visited the plae and dug up the skeleton, around, thi neck of which was still the chain b which the poor man, when living, hat been fastened to the fatal rock. Tk< spot is. still pointed ont to travelers and tlie tale told of how the broths; day' after day ate his meals in th< presence of his wretched prisoner but would not give him so much as ? cjumb or a cup of water to slack hu thirst. A Yankee who thinks that ceremo nious funerals are a waste of time, .has invented a new. kind of coffin which will, he thinks, be useful. It is like the ordinary casket, but rune upon casters placed on one end of it. I He propi. :s .that, while the clergy ! inA is reading the service, the coffin "Bhall be wheeled about the room, Btopping before each mourner, a nd thus avoiding the long procession of friends and acquaintances desirous of seeing Lhe features of the dead which closes ia funeral now. He estimates that by the use-of this* "Fugacious Casket," as he'has christened it, a clever un dertaker may attend fifty per cent, more funerals than under the present system.. ; Living Together? The art of living " together" r .urably is greatly promoted by habitual exchange of the little co sies of life ; they are never u portant, never unacceptable, ar ways grateful to the feelings in e household. Shall brothers anc ters be less careful of the feelinj one another, than those of a strang and as between iiusband and i should there be less effort at gei ness of deportment, of suavit] manner, and courtesy of expr?s than is extended to outsiders, have no special claims,, and may ni be seen again. Shame upon member of any family who negl those affectionate attentions, those suavities of deportment to'fl the members of the household, even to the lowest servant, which < not fail to elevate the giver and d from the receiver those willing spontaneous reciprocities which m of family associations a little hea below. Fault-finding is an apple of disc in multitudes^ families. There some persons who, from uglinesi temper arising from bodily infini or an inherent blight of nature, forever finding fault, either v? something said or done, or omitted be said or done.j if not in the fam: thin out of it. Somewhere or so; thing is always going wrong w them ; in . every remark. they rm there is vinegar and bitterness ; th whole nature seems to be in a con tion of chronic snarl ; their adjectr are of.a most sweeping charact every person isa "liar" or " swir 1er" or'" scoundrel," even if th shortcomings are of the slight character. Such persons' are demi alizers of the community in whi they live, and of those with wh( they reside, they are a perpeti storm, a tornado and a curse. Tl complaing, faultfinding trait does n assume these gigantic proportions enormity at once, but always com by slow degrees and long practice; Let the reader fear falling into th great condemnation ; let him be*afra of it, anti resolve never to findiau with anybody or anything, or chara terize any one's conduct for omissic or commission, until he has a slept c it," thus giving the clearer judgmei of a renovated brain an oppcrtunit of more dispassionate exercise. Let every person of refinement, ir telligencevand oultnre, bear in min that "living togeWer^with"'^ pleasantly, happily, it is of essentii importance to practice the virtues c uniform gentleness, deference ani courtesy, remembering that one .c the most cardinal points in the promo tion of domestic enjoyment and o family happiness is to cultivate self sacrifice-.for it i? tnis which cher ishes love in the heart "of the giver and ki nd'es it in ' those for whom th( self-sacrifice is made; or, to frain< the principle into, a phrase which al] can comprehend, remember and ap ply, that is the noblest heart in any household which gives to the other* the first choice, and leaves to others the best place and the best things.

Au Evening ?ame. The following game of questions and answers, which, when played up on by the uninitiated into the my te ries, is well calculated to afford 'end less laughter.' A lady may be sup posed to requ ^st a gentleman to write down this list : 1. Set down a lady's name. 2. Set down some time past. S. Write the ?am? of aplace. . 4. Write, either yes or no. 5. Yes or no again. 6. A lady's name. 7. Some time to come. ? 8. Yes or no.. ?. Yes or no again. . 10. Name of a city. 11. Some color. . " 12. Any number not exceeding six. 13. Name of a color. 14. Yes or no.. 15. A lady's name. IC. A gentleman's name. 17. Name of a clergyman. J8. A sum of money. . 19. Name of a place. 20. Any number at all. "When these conditions h?ve been complied with, the gentleman is then requested to read off the list, thus prepared, as answers to the following series of questions : 2.-To whom did you make your first offer ? . " - 2. When? 3. In what place ? * . 4. Does she love you'r 5. Did you love her? 6. When will you marry? 7. How soon ? 8. Does she love you ? 9. Do you lovelier ? 10. Where dbeslshe reside ? l l. What is the color of her hair ? 12. What is her height? .. 13. What is the color of her eyes ? 14. Is sh*e pretty ? . 15. Who is to be the bridesmaid? 16. Who is to .be the. groomsman 2, 17. What clergyman is to. marry you. 18. How much is she worth ? 19. Where will you reside ? 20. How many servants will you ke^o? . What it ia to be a Widow- " "I think it must be a jolly thing to be a young widow !" I*, heard this remark thc other day, in a group of laughing girls. I think I remember saying such a thing myself in my girlish times. Do you know, girls, what it is to be a widow? It is to be ten times more open to comment and criticism than any demoiselle could ?possibly be. It is to have men to gaze as you pass, first at your black dress and. then at your widow's cap, until your sensitive nerves quiver un der the infliction. It is.to have one ill-natured person, say, "I wonder how long she will wait . before she marries again ?" and another answer, " Until she gets a good chane?, I sup pose." It is now and th?n to meet the glance of real sympathy, gener ally from the poorest and humblest woman that you can meet, and feel your eyes fill at the token, so ra e, it is, alas I unlooked for. It is tu have your dear fashionable*friends console you, after the "following fashion : "Oh well ! it is a dreadful loss. We knew you'd feel it, dear," and in the.next breath, " You will be sure to marry again, and your widow's cap. is very1 becoming to you." But it is more than this to be a widow. It is to miss the strong arms* you have leaned upon, the true faifh you knew could never fail you, though all $e world might forsake you. It is to miss the dear voice that uttered your name with a tenderness that none other could give it. It is to hear no more the well known footsteps that you flew so gladly once to meet. .To see no more the face that to your ador ing eyes seemed as the face *of the angels of God'. To feel no more the twining arms that folded you so lov ingly ;_ the dear eye's that, looking in to your own, said plainly, whatever it might seem to others, yours was the fairest face earth held for him It is to fight with a mighty sorrow as a man fights with the waves that over whelm him,, and. to hold it -at. arm length for a while, only to have---in the hours of loneliness and weakness -the torrent roll' over you, whil poor storm riven dove-^-you se? no haven. man everappearrto j&mifw?r s*d he must sink into, oblivion-that we are one generati in of 'millions. Yet such is the tact. Time &nd progress: have through countless ages come inarching hand in hand, the one des troying, the other building up. They aeem to create little or no commotion, ind the work of destruction is a easily iccomplished as a child- tearing to pieces a rose. Yet such is the fact. A hundred years hence, and much' ihat we now see around us will h tve passed away. It is but a repetition )f life story ; we are born, we die md hence we will grieve over these j ( venerable piles, finding the common ev?l of. their prototypes in nature, iltimate death.. We all within our graves shall sleep, , i A hundred years to come ; No living soul for us shall "weep; . .' "p A hundred years to como ; But other merl our land will till, And jther men our streets wjji fill, And other birds shall sing as gay, < As bright the sunshine as to-day. A hundred years to come. m LOVE, FORTUNE^ OR POSITION. Who marries for love, takes a wife ; who marries for fortune, tah's a mis tress; who .marries for position, takes' a lady. You are loved by your wife, regarded.by. your mistress, tolerated by your lady. . You have a wife for yourself, a mistres- for your house' and friends, a lady for the world and society.
