Oh, come to the South, sweet, beautiful one, 'Tis the clime of the heart, 'tis the shrine of the sun ; Where the sky ever shines with a passionategiow, And flowers spread their treasure of crimson and snow ; WThere the breeze, o'er bright waters, wafts incense along, And gay birds are glancing in beauty and song; ' Where the summer smiles e%Ter o'er mountain and plain, And the best gifts of Eden, unshadowed, remain. Oh, come to the South, The shrine of the sun ; And dwell in its bowers, ' Sweet, beautiful one. Oh, come to the South, and I'll build thee a home. Where, winter shall never intrusively come, The queen-like catalpa, the myrtle and I pine, The gold-fruited orange, the ruby-gemmed vine, ' Shall bloom 'round thy dwelling, and ] shade thee at noon. While birds of all music keep amorous tune; By the gush of glad fountains we'll < ie?t us at eve, No trouble to vex ns, no sorrows to grieve. 4 .

Painfully d and by the utmost efforts she had t! contrived to pass two years or ner n sorrowful widowhood. Bad and h scanty food, obtained only by labor fl too great for her delicate frame, had r it last thrown her upon a sick bed, t nnd death, in pity, removed her in s i few days and without great suf- a fering from her earthly troubles. The poverty of the whole parish g tvas so great that nothing could be o rlone for the poor orphans. All a the neighbors, with the utmost de- v ?ire 10 help, were too faraine-strick- tl en, and heard their own children ii too often cry in vain for bread, to tl assist others. tl "If the children could only be 1 jot to- Kilburn"?a village some a miles south?said one of the neigh- I bors, after the poor mother had c been buried, "a brother of their n father lives there, and could not tl possibly refuse to take care of them, ii "But matters are as bad there as tl here," replied another, and "I fear o thej will be no better off there." ii "It cannot, possibly be worse vi than here, tor nothing but starva- e tion stares them in the face. If we send them to their r 'lations we t< have done our duty. We cannot possibly keep them here." r So a carrier, who was going near e to Kilburn, as an act of charity, c took the two girls?Lizzie was n ^even noW, and Mary was five?in s his cart with him. The timid children kept very quiet and close, together, and the carrier hardly look- c ed at them. Toward noon they 1" reached the spot where the cart a would turn off. The man lifted s them out, showed them the road to th* left, and bade them go straight c forward, and if fhey did not turn T from the high-road they would in ( about two hours come to the place, ? He then drove off. The children t sobbed out "good-bye," and looked as they could see specks of the \ cart, and then they both began to 1 cry. : Lizzie ceased her crying first; i she took hold of her little sister's jl hand, who had seated herself on 1 the grass, and said: "Get up, Ma- 1 ry, we must not stay here if we 1 wish to get to Kilburn. We can- 1 not stop here on the road." "I'm so hungry," sobbed Marc. "We have had nothing to eat all day." And they botn began to cry ; for Lizzie was equally hungry. The children were tery weak, and could only dray themselves slowly along. Hand in hand thev tottered on. At last Lizzie fancied, she saw a house, and pointed to-1 ward the spot. But it took them more than a quarter of an hour be-1 fore they reached the farm-bonae,' for such it proved to be. With| hesitating steps they entered the yard, for they bad p&vejr. begged before, in spite of their former mysery. But at this mfylment tfcev 1 could think of nothing ^else 1 than their terrible hunger. Wheu ' a few steps from the house they heard the farmer violeutiy scolding one of his men. Then he went into the house, fiercely closed the door after him, bo as to make the windows rattle, continuing his abuse all the time. The children terrified, stood still at the door until the voice ceased. Then Lizzie opened the door and both children entered. The farmer sat in an arm-chair b}T the fire. "Well, what do you want?" he harshly asked the children, who were too frightened to utter a word and tell their errand. ''Can't you speak?" he asked more roughly. Lizzie at last took courage and said gently, "Oh, if you will be so good as to give us the least little tit to eat?^a 6mall piece of bread or a few potatoes." "I thought so," shouted the farmer; "I was sure you were nothing but beggar, although you do not seem to belong to th's neighborhood. "We have plenty of those here, and we do not want them to [jorae from other parts. We have not bread for ourselves in these hard times. You will get nothing liere. Be off, this moment!" The children both terribly frjghtmed, began to cry bitterly. "That will not do you any good," jontinued the man ; "that kind of vhining is nothing new to me, and von'tmoveme. Let your parents eed you; but they, no doubt, preer idling rather than get their livng by honest labor." "Our parents are both dead,!' laid Lizzie. tVmnorht an " renlied the far - - -I - *ner. <k Whenever children are tent out to beg, their father and nother are always dead, or, at least heir father. This ifl a mere exuse for begging. Be off this minite!" ''We have not eaten a morsel of >read the whole day," pleaded Liz;ie. . "We are so tired that we annot move a step. If you would >ut give us the least bit to eat, we re so hungry." "I have told you I would not icggars get nothing here." The farmer got up with a threat1 ninglook. Lizzie quickly open d the the door and drew her sister t'ith her. The children again tood in the farmyard, but knew ot what to do. Suddenly little lary drew her hand from her Riser's clasp and went off to the otbr side of the yard ; there was a erce .dog chained; his dinner tood before him in a wooden bain. Mary put her hand in the lasin und began to eat with the og. Lizzie went nearer, and saw hat in the basin there was some iqnor in which a few pieces of rend and a few potatoes were [oating. She. likewise, could not esist; she had but one feeling? hat of the most gnawing hunger; he took some bread and potatoes nd ate the greedily. The dog not accustomed to such nests, looked at the children full, f astonishment; he drew back, nd then left them at his dinner, ot zhich he had eaten very little. At his moment the farmer stepped : ito the yard; he wished to see if fie children had really left, and hen he saw this, singular scene* 'he dog was noted for its fierceness nd feared alike by old and young, [e was obliged to be constantly hained, and no one dared to come ear him except his master. Even he servant put his food before him n the most cautious manner. In he first moment the man thought f nothing but the fearful danger i which, the children were, and talking quickly toward -them, he xclnimed: "Don'tyou see the dog? He will | 3a r you to pieccs!" ,j Bnt. suddenly he stopped as if oofed to the ground; the dog had ot.up again and gone near the hildren; then he looked at his naster and wagged his tail. It eemed as if had wished to say: "Don't drive jny guests away!" At that sight a great change came iver tliQ man ; the spectacle before iim acted like an electric shock, md feelings sncli as never before eemed to stir within him. The children had risen, terrified it the. call of the man, fearful of mnishment for having eaten, vvith lowncast eyes. At last, after sev?ral minute's silence, the farmer laid: "Are you really so fearfully hungry that you do not even despise ;he dog's food? Come in, then, rou shall have something to eat, *nd as much as you like." And, then taking them by the hand he led them into the house, calling to the servant, "Biddy, get some hot bread and. milk, and be quick, tor these children." The dog had shamed his master ?the brute had shamed th man Touched by what he qad seen, the farmer was anxious to muke amends for what his conscience showed ~ oin TTa mm 10 lie u gr^ut oiu. ,liw otuicu the children at the fable, sat down by them,' and kindly asked their names. "My name is Lizzie, said the eldest, and my sister is called Mary. ' Hare your parents been dead long ?" "Our father baa been dead twn years, but our mother otily died )ast week." At the thought of their recenl loss both children; began to weep "Don't cry, children," said the farmer kindly. "God will in oik way or Ihe other lake care of you But tell me now, where did yot come.from ?" 1 "From Longhrea," replied th< child. "From Louglira ?" asked the man, "from Loughrea? That is strange!" _ . - v He' began to snspeet the truth, a and asked, hesitatingly : . .f ""What was voiirefather's name ?" o "Martin Sullivan," replied Liz- v z;e. d "What?Martin?Martin Sulli- p van ?" he exclaimed,jumping up at f< the same time, and casting a pierc- u ing look at the children, thorough- t< ly frightening them. His face grew red, then tears e came into his eyes; at last he sob- ti bed aloud. He took the youngest ^ child into his-arms, pressed her to u his heart and kissed her. The t< r "11 1??1 ,1 rt CHliu Hrru^^fieu. auu <JUIU-W LW IICI ?; sister. for help ; she could not f think what.the man meant. Then ii he put down the little one and did r the same to Lizzie, who took it ii ngore quietly, as she had seen that c that the man did not hurt her sis- 1< ter. At last, becaming more com- * [posed, he dried his tears and said : ^ j "Do you know my name, chil- ? Idren V* b ! "No," replied Lizzie. P "How happened it, thfin, that tl yon have come to me?" he asked. ei "Has any one sent you to me ?" "P1 'Nobody has'sent us," replied Lizzie* "We were to go to Kil- c* burn, where a brother of our fathn er lives, and they said he would r gladly receive us. But I do not 3* believe it. for our mother always ** ooifl Vio io a Viard.hf?nrtf>rl mnn duivi itjcvv uv iu m .w. who docs n<jt care for his relations." C "Yonr mother was quite right -W when she said so," said the farmer. 1,1 "But what will yon do if this hard- V hearted man does not receive you ?" t] "Then we shall have to starve," ?! answered Lizzie. . J '^NTo, no!" exclaimed the man rj( quickly. "It shall never come to ^ that?never! Dry your tears. The at merciful God has had pity on your jt helplessness, and has made of a fierce brute to soften the heart of nf youf uncle, and therefore be will j8 never forsake you?never." tj( The children looked at the man in utter bewilderment; they did tri not understand what he said?his in words and his behavior were alike ex strange to them. This he soon di perceived, for he added : "You are Co going to Kilbnrn to Patrick ?ul- to livan; you are already there I l|wl am your uncle, and now that I kuow you are the children of my gt brother Martin, I# make you wel- vi come." " 0< The children's tears quickly an changed into smiles, and the meal nc which Bidflv just then put on the en table for them made them forget un their grief. Patrick Sullivan had bj taken his farm about a year before, es A kind providence had directed he the children's steps to him ; but if ti< the dog had not taught him a les- wi son of kindness who knows what th might after all have become of the pi poor orphans. But he who is the th father of the fatherless would sure- pi ly not have forsaken them. > ' Colored Dresses?An Important Invention. ; h< The Scientific American says it is pnot often that wo find scientific iH items of any especial, degree of 01 interest to the members of. the fair ^ * -.1 sex, who may, percnancc, giauue over our pages; but now \ye be- n< lieve we have got one simply ab- *'< sorbing. Probably, Madame or I'J Miss, you are now the possessor til of a summer dress, made from some white diaphanous material; h< and it may also be imagined -that th during your shopping you have hi inspected goods of similar nature^ m only of varying colors, from which you have purchased sufficient ma- ni terials to construct a number of fl" those bewildering garments in comparison with the intricacies of R which the most elaborate works of ^ modern engineering furnish no n! parallel. Now, a learned German 2 professor has invented a plan whereby your single white dress may be 31 changed as often as you desire to any color you may fancy, and this " in your own laundry, so that here- ^ after the money which you would IT devote to several robes of varying ^ hues may he entirely saved, while s< you may appear daily, if you choose |!l in toilets of totally difierent com- . plexion. The process is very sim- S] I t 1 1 P pie, ana consists in merely coior- j ing the starch used in tlie ''doing 1 up." Suppose a white dress is to " be tinted a beautiful crimson: ^ Three parts of fucbsin, an analine 1 color which any chemist can read- ^ ily procure for you, are diisolvcd in twenty parts of glycerine, and ^ mixed in a mortar with a little wa- f ter. Theu ordinary starch, finely 0 (pulverized, is stirred in, and the f mass obtained is poured <^t and drkd on blotting paper. The powder thus obtained is used just the same as common starch, and so t applied to the fabric. When the r -l k 1 . latter is ary it is tjiiguuy b?muhvicu j, and pressed with a moderate warm \ iron. By means of other coloring r i materials, mixed as above describ- , ! ed, any desired tint may be obtain- f ed. We should counsel, however, c ; an avoidance oij.damp localities, ; and strongly deprecute going out i ; in the rain, as we doubt the ""fast- | > nesa" of the dye, and would not , . be at all surprised to behold the i 1 garment shortly npsnme a rntho? treaked and ze^ra-like appear 2 unco.
