Thc pure, tho bright,.tho beautiful, That stirred our hearts in youth, Tho impulse of a wordless prayer, Thc dream of love and truth, Tho longings after something lost, Tho spirit's yearning cjy ; Thc strivings after better hopes, * These things can never die. Tho timid hand stretcded forth to aid A brother in his need ; That kindly word in griefs dark hour That proves thc friend indeed; Thc pica of mercy softly broathed When justico threatens nigh ; . Thc sorrow of a contrite heart,- . . These things shall never die. Thc memory of a clasping hand, .Thc pressure of a kiss, And all tho trifles, sweet and frail, That make up love's first bliss, If with a firm, unchanging faith, And holy trust and high, Those hands have clasp'd, those lips have met, Those things shall never dio. Tht cruel and tho bitter word That wounded as it foll, Tho chilling want of sympathy, Wo feel but never tell. Tho hard repulse that chills thc heart, Whoso hopes wcro bounding high, In an unfading record kept, These things shall never die Lot nothiuc pass, for every hand Must find some work to do ; Lose not a chance to uoikcn love, Le firm and just and true, So shall a light that cannot fado Boam on tlr^o from on high, And angels voices say lo thee, These things shall never die.

And Agn< s Broman threw lier arms around the obi man's neck, and kissed kini.and then ike left the room. . ^ *' lt's cur?ous kow the.-:o young fools act," thc ui?.ser muttered to himself, after he hui] watched his child depart. "There's been wenly of til'' sharks after that girl-twenty if 'ctn hovering around her, like man cate!.s ificr a dead body. Don't I know what they want? Aha, dou't I, though V li's my mon 3?TBilli ?^i*?.bt?.iM?*er loved^oue.ol' theo, ill luis Adams came along. The jackanapes? And ni'w shu want's to get married righi iway.

"She cried when sh;: kissed me," he v. his tiered, wiping the tear ir?.tn hin hand. u 1 don't seo what male s her so tender hearted jh? r.evrr took it norn me. But she may have taken it fro?.?-" Thc chi man stopped, and a cloud caine ?Vcr his wrinkled brow, for there was a ,:ang in his heart, lie remembered the gen ie, uncomplaiuing hoing who had onie beer, his companion, liie mother cf his child. liv remembered how .she bc :atne his wife, ever, when the bloom of manhood had p issed from him, a:-..! cared fer him, and how she (aught lier child to love and care for him, ton. Ami i c remember, d how she had ?.over complain ed, even while suffering, and how she had died, wjth a smile and a blessing Upon her lips, though the gold of her husband brought lier no comforts. Noah Breman bowed Iiis frosted head more low, and in his heart ho wished jje could for get all hut ibe few fleeting joys of his wife. But he cou!d not forget. Ile could not forgei that it had been whispered how his wile might nave lived longer, had she had proper cloth it.'gaud medical attention. "But it would have cost so much ; I raved money ?" Al:, thc reflcctiqn would not remove thc pang. Ti e other mern .ry was uppermost. Noah Broman had passed t! alio!ted age . if men, being over three score and ten, and all his ?lV: had been devoted lo thc accumula timi of moppy, ile had denied himself every comfort, and bia heart pad boen almcst as hard as the gold hf hoarded, hue va l>;s hair grtW more white and spar.-p" and the years came mere heavily upon him, he thought more; rt-ll-ctcd more. The sweet smile ol his wife was doing its mission now ; a .d the pun. love of his gentle child was a continual remembrance to him that lhere wore better hearts tuas his own. Ai length ibe miser arcs.-?, and pa?scd out ci the room. Ile would havo left thc hilt; but as he read: d the lillie entry way, he heard a voice from tho garret. ft was his child's. He crept np the rickety stairs, and i oked*through a crack in thc door. He saw Agnes upon ncr knees. Tears were rolling down her cheeks, and her hands were clasped towards Heaven and she prayed : '.Oh. God! be good to my father, and make his heart warm and peaceful ! Make me to lore him with all tenderness, and ena hie mo to do welland truly tho duty I pledged to my sainted mother ! 1 promised I would lo7e "and care for him always. Father in Heaven, help me ! Oh ?help me! Tao old man crept down stairs and out of doors, and for a whole hour he walked alone among the trees. He thought ugain of his child ; and then, of his gold I And this was not the first time ho had walked alone thor. Ile did not himself know how great the in fluence of bis child was exerting over him. Ague?, pure, good, beautiful Agnes, wept Jong and bitte.ly in her little garret, and when slie had become calm, and her checks wcro dry, she came down and got supper. But sho was.not the smiling, happy being that had Hilted about the scanty boafd here tofore. A few days after this, as Noah Brcman ap proached bis cot one morning, he heard voices from within. He peeped through a rent in the coarse paper curtain, and saw Walter Adams with his child. Her hoad was upon Walter's shoulder, and his arm waa about her. Walter was an orphan, and had Leen An nes' .schoolmate, and her fervent lover through all the virtuous man, nnd loved thc gentle girl because she was so good and gentle, and so beautiful- And sho loved bim, not only because ho wa?, of all her suitors, thc only one whose character and habits promised joy and peace for the future. ;- J cannot leave my poor old (tither, Wal ter,'" tho old mun heard his daughter say. " I mu. t live to love and caro for him. On ali tbp earth I am tho only one loft to love bim. ItifllwdJ My heart may break I But tbc pledge of love I gave to my dying mother must he kept." '. ".And so the great joy~drcara of my youth must be changed to t!)is sad reality ! I can uot.ask you to leave your father,, sweet Ag nes, for the very truth in you vvbicli I wor ship would he made a lie could you do so. But I have a prayer. I pray that God in his mercy way; remove thc curse from your father's bended form !' "The curse! Walter?" "Aye- the. Gold Curse!" rejoined the youth fervently. " I hope God may render .him penniless !" '.'What?!. Penniless?'' Repeated Agnes with a start. "Aye ; penniless! for then he would be far more wcaltfiy than he is now. Then ho would know how ?.o appreciate thc priceless bles sings of hts sweet Agnes' love, and then the crust might be broken, and his heart grow human again. And more ?han al!," Waller continued. ' winding his arm more closely about the fair form of hts companion, and speaking more deeply,' " then I could prove to him- my love. Then I could take you to my home ; and we could both love him and care fur him whilo we" lived !" Noah Breman. stopped to hear no more, and as be;walked away, he muttered to him self: 4 J " The rascal ! He'd do great things ; me penniless, and he praying for it, the young villian!" When the old man gained his accustomed walk among thc great sycamores, ho wiped something from his eye. Ile acted as though a mote, hid been blown in there. * Two weeks passed on, and Agnes grew pale andjthin. She did not sing as she used to, nor could she smile a3 had been her wont. Still she murmured not, nor did her kindness to her farther grow less. . " Oh, God, help me to "love my father." sh? prated ?W night. " Let not my grief make me forget my duly !" And the old man heard it. One night Noah came home from the city, and in his u>u;d In- brought a small trunk. Ut! barred the door, and drew the tattered curtains' close. ..See," he said, as he opened tho trunk, and piled tint new hank noios upon the table. " Lo..k?there, Agnes, and see how I have wofkerTin my life tims. I had no educatio i, nut. ?*? !a:d tip money-money-MON KY. Qow .Ai\.ny men wou'd sci! mo all t heir brains tu-mgbt for this.

" Thal is not thc Trunk !" whispered Ag ues in M ! fr ght. "Nur-." But the old man spoke no further. He saw fcc bad tfckcn tho wrong trunk. This wa.: uni)' filled willi old do^di aud dusty receipts. "?RainedI Jsisl!" groaned Noah Breman. r.s ho turned from thc scattered embers. "I had fifty thousand dollars in that trunk, ami votiere are they now ?" " Never mind," said Agnes, winding her arms about her lather's neck, we'll bc hap py without it." * * * . V * * (- What," uttered Noah Breman, gazing in to Walter's lace. ''Do you mean that you will give P^fl a home Up ; that you will pro vide lor me, and Keep.roc7" " Yes," returned the youth hopefully, " I could never be happy with Agnes, much as I love her, if I thought her poor old father had no home. Come, wo will live together, aud he as happy as the days are long." " But your salary, young man V . . "Is suHicicni for us, s r. I have five hun dred dollars a year. We cen Jive on that, and lay up something, too." 11 We''i WfcH > toke ^er, love her, bp. good to her, make her happy, don't never When .tho. old mau saw thc joyous tears leap from his child's eyes, he turned away and walked quickly from thc house; but he was not so cjutck but he heard thc blessings that followed him. And when ho walked alone beneath tho starry heavens he wiped his own eyes as though something troubled him. Gay as a lark was thv gentle, beautiful Agnes, when she became the wife of Walter Adams. Thc rose bloomed ugain upon her happy face like sunshine all the dav long. ." Do you pray to God to help von to love mc now ?" the old man asked a!ter ho had lived with Walter some months. " Woy,, what do yeti mean ?" Agnes asked in surprise. " You used to pray so, for I havo bcird you," returned Noah. A moment the young wife gazed into her parent's face, and she answered, while sue threw her arm3 about his neck, ':Ob,-I-pray that you may be spared to us for long years in ponce, and" happiness, but love you ? Oh ! 1 could not help it if I should try. And Walter loves you very much, for he has told rac so many times." There was something more than usual in the old man's eye now. One evening as the Happy trio sat nt the tea taftle, Walter looked mora thoughtful iban was his wont. " What is it love ?" Agnes asked. " 0, nothing, the husband said, with a stiii?e, "I wa3 only thinkiug." " But o? what." u Onlv caslle building, that's i? nil." "In thc air, Walter," asked Noah. ,; Yea, very lug!? if the air," the young mar. return*.!, wi ii :: '?ugh. .' But iel! us what it is." Well, I'd as lief ti;!! you as not. .

" But what casllc in the air, is there abeu that." ,f 0, that isn't the castle.' u Then what is the castle ? Urged thi old man playfully." " Why, simply this, said Walter, laughing but yet almost ashamed to tell it: This noon Mr. Osgood patted rae on the shoulder anc said he-in his playful way-Walter, I'll eel you all .my interest heie for fifty tliousanc dollars." " ila, ha," laughed Nc>a*h Bremau, " ant? yoa thought he'was in earnest." "No, no," quickly returned the you np man, " I did not think tltat, though I ' knou that the other two partners would be willing to have me for an-associate." i; But it seems to me eld Osgood holds his share in tLe concern at a high figure." " Ob. no. Ii is a very low one. There i clear capital of one hundred and fifty thou saud dollars in tho business at this moment, and then think of all lbs standing and good will which goes fur nothiug. '. Ha, ha, ha," laughed the old man again. Then Waker laughed, and then they fin iehed their supper. On the next evening Walter Adams came iii and sank down on thc sofa without speak ing. He was pale aud agitated, and his eyes had a vacant wondering look. " Walter !"' Cried Agues, in terror, " what has happened ?" " He's sick," muttered Noah Brcman, with out looking around. .'No, i.o, n'-ffcick," rt tamed the young tr ?1 starting up ! li But I ara the victim of a mis erable trifiing." ''Eh ? How so?'.' Asked old Noah, now turning his chair.. "Til tell you," said Walter, with a spas modic cfijrt. "I had some lorjg entries tn p sr. this evening, so I remained ?D the count ing room after the rest had gone. Twas still at work when Osgood came in and placed some pap rs on tn}' desk, saying as ho diu BO, '. Here Waker, 'bess are.yours ; and then he wont out. W?.en I (ifished my work I open ed the papers. The first was a sort of inven tory of wu.it Osgood bael owned In the busi ness, and footed up, in square numbers, forty nine thousand eight bunded and seventy five dollars. The'next paper was a deed colive) ing the whole v;ist p'rovcrty to me, and mak ing rae a partner in the concern upon equa fouling with thc other two !" 11 Well," said the old man, thumping I is foot up:irf the carpet, and keeping lime with his bands, u 1 don't see anything very b^d iu that." '.But 1 do," replied Walter. " It is crml t trifie with me thus." Chere was something .in Noah's eye again, but'he managed to get it outj u:.d Un n ii apotie thu-> : " Walter Adams, when young men, used to hover about ray chili*, I believe, they uer. only after my gold ; an i I knew that in mo~l cases I was correct.

Mr. White lo Mr. Merrimau, givirg in formation upon what terms laborers' c?;n be ' procured! of what character the per-om- wilt ' be. and bow they "viii come recommended. I As so much labor is removing from this part of the country ; and as it 1s important that tho lands should net be left to- grow cp in weeds, and thus be converted into a wilder ness, and be deserted, it is important that our people should make all necessary efforts ;o re store the coat^'ry t<> its former, and eren gtea' er, prosperity.. People must begiu to work to accomplish something. Plans to sicure immigrants must be matured, and the people must .see to it that their lauds shall bc cul tivated, and improved, Tho country can be improved, but energy is r-'quired to effect it. The attention of the people will be direct ed-to this subject during the curse of this year, and that too in time tc make all the ne ces-ary arrangements for the introduction of foreign labor, for the year 1868.

" Grecn,backs,"--or the round ot* Flcsh-WhicU? Wc cordially endorse the following excel lent and sensible article from our esteemed cotemporary the " Lanca-tcr Ledger." "We regret to see some disposition manifested not te receive United State? currency at par for existing liabilities.. At a time like ihis, when money is so scarce, and. the country de> pressed by a failure of crops aud other causes, Greenbacks ought to be received readily by creditors 33 a basis of compromise with their dcb. ors. Tb talk of relief by stay law?, or scaling of debts by legal measure, is a mere; waite oftlme-afict of which the pcop'e are now pretty thoroughly convinced, but a great relief may, and ought to be extended, through a willingness on the part of creditors to offer liberal terms of settlement. There arc doubtless some exceptions, but thc "Cases are rare, where greenbacks at par would not" bo a fair and equitable satisfaction of any existing liability. Not to re?oive it is evidr-i?ce of a grasping and uncompromising spirit ; and if generally folio wed,, would, in effect, add almost fifty per cent, to the indebtedness of the country. Creditors ought to receive it without hesitation aud if any will not, thby should be delayed, and otheis, more liberal . and indulgent, preferred. Where there are judgments and execu tions; preferences aro not practicable, but . where the Sheriff, in obedience to orders' 'from a grasping Shylock, collects his judg ment debt in gold and s'dver, ho does so at His peril; for it is by no means a settled ques tion that U.

The ouly decision which wc have in this State is adverse to thc legal tender law, and it isjgenerally believed that tho Court of Ap peals will sustain the Circuit decision. But oven in tho latter event, thc point is not then settled: ca some suppose.

A safer course would be to assume that fhe law is ' constitutional until it is declared otherwise by thc constituted anthoritk'*v If thc currency is generally received in paymeut of debts, it will no' only bc a public co venience, but will be ono means of reliev ing the country of its present embarrassed condition ; a contrary course will leadlo great annoyance, distress and ceaseless litigation.
