There"cometh a time wb?n thc guilty soul '
Is alone with tho demons of doubt and sin/; *
When cloud? are murky that round it roll,?
And lightnings lurid that blaze within:
When the phantoms that rise from far-off years
Are the woful phantoms of peace and joy,
And the man may see, through bis blinding tears,
. The innocent face of thchappy boy.
Whca terribly, round" his desolate way,
"Wild eyesi aro glancing everywhere;
When bc cannot smile, n?d he dare not pro/y.
For his heart is withered in wan despair !.
But'there cometh another, a"bsjtter time,
When the Tearful straggles of passions cease,
When the winds blow soft from a heavenly dime,
And theligh tinhis sbulis tho starlight of peace.
Then Hdpo makes a Summer oT diamond'shcen
And violets Dower tho emerald ?od,- ..'?*.
And he wark? alone in'a joy serene,
Alone with tho angefs-alono: with God !
"She Has Outlived Her Fsef^?h??ss.,,
HY MRS. J, CltAPL X.
Not long f?nee, a good looking man in mid
. die life came "to oi?r door, aski'Dg for '<l ihe
? minister." When hifbrmed that h? was ont"
of town, he seemeddisappolnted arid anxious.
On.being questioned aa to businessj-he
replied: "Ihave lost my -mother, and this
place vised to bc her home, aud as my father
lies here, we have come to lay her beside
him." - . .
Our heart rose tn sympathy, and we siitf,
^"You have mei with a gteat loss ?".
" Well-yes," replied the strong man, with,
hesitancy, " a mother is-a great loss'in gen
eral ; but nur .mother had outlived her use
fulness. She was in her second childhood,
and her mind wax grown as weak as her body,
sio^rimt-fhe was no comfort to herself, and
was a burden to everybody. There were
-.even of m sorts and daughters; and, as we
could not find any ono who would board her,
we agreed to keep her among us a year
about : but I have had more than my share
of her; for she was too feeble to be moved
when my time was out, and that was more
than three months before her dc.-itb. But th.-rii
alie was a ?rood mother in h-r day, and toiled
very hard [w bring us up."
Without looking at thc face o? the heart
less" man, we directed him to the housc.of a
neighboring pastor, and returned to our nur
sery.' We gazsd on the merry little faces,
which smiled or grew sad in imitation of
oar?, those little ones to whose ear no word
in our language j? half so sweet as " mother,"
and we wondered if that day could overcome
when they would say of us, " She has outlived
ber usefulness-she i* no comfort to herself,
anti a burden to everybody else,"'-and we
hoped that l/?forc buch a day would dawn we
mi>;ht Be taken* to our rest. God forbid that
*e should outlive thc love of our children.!
Hither let us die while our heat ts are a part
ol .their own, that our grave may be watered
with their tears, nr.d our lo.-e linked with
jtln-ir hopes of Heaven.
When the bell tolled for tho mother's buri?!,
we went lo the sanctuary to pay our only
token of respect to ihe ?ged stranger; for
we felt that we could give her memory a J
rear, even though her own children had none
tu shed. I
She was a good mother in h?-- day and
wiled hard to bring us all up-she was no
comfort to herself, and a burden to everybody
elseJ'' These cruel, heartless words rung in
.>ur ears as we saw the coffin borre up the
aisle. The bell tolled long and loud, until its
iron tongue had chronicled the ye ra of the
toil-worn mother. Une-two-three-four
-five. How clearly and al:, ost merrily each
?troke told'of her once peaceful slumber in
her mother's bosom, and of her seat at night
fall on her weat y father's knees. Six-seven
-eight-nine-ten-rani: ?jut the talc of her
-pot ts upon thc greensward, in the meadow,
tin) beside . the brook. Eleven-twelve
thirteen-rpurleeii-.spoke more gravely of
"-chool days and little household joys and
cares. Sixteen-seventeen-eighteen-s. .to
ed out tho enraptured visions ol' maidenhood
and" the dream of carly love. Nfnvlea'n
brought before us thc happy bride. Twenty
spoke ot the young mother, whose heart was
loll to bursting with thc new. strong love
which God had awakened in her heart. And
then stroke alter stroke told of her early wo
manhood-ot the loves, and e ares, and hopes,
.and fears., aud toils through which she pass?d
during iluso, long years, till fifty rang out
harsh and loud. From that to sixty, etch
stroke told of the warm-hearted mother and
grandmother, living ovc again her own sor-'
rows in those of her children and children's
children. ' '
Every family of all tho group wanted
grandmother then, and tho onjy strife was
.who should secure the prize; but, hark, the
bell tolls cm j Si venty-seventy-or.?-l wo
-three-four. She begins to grow feeble,
requires some care, is not always .perfectly
pa???nt or satisfied ; she goes from one child's
house to another; so that no one place seems
like home. She murmurs in plaintive tones,
and after all her toil and weariness, iris hnrd
"she cannot be allowed a home to die in ; that
she must be saut rather, than invited from
house to house. Eighty-eighty-one--! wo
thies-four. Ah, she ia now a second child
-now, "she has outlived her usefulness, she
has now ceased to bc a comfort tp herself or
anybody j" that is, shebas ceased to bc profita
ble to her earth craving and money grasping
children.
' Now sounds out, reverberating through our
lovely forest, and echoing ' back from our
" hilt-of the dead,1' eighty-nine 1 There ?he
lies now in the coffin, cold and still-she
makes no trouble now, demands no love, no
soft words, no tender little offices. A look
of patient endurar.ee, we faucied, also an ex
pression of grief for unrequited love, sat on
her marble features. Her children were
there, clad in weeds of woe, and a's in irony
we remembered the strong man's words,
" She was.a good mother in her day." .
Wb'< n tho boll ceased tolling, the strange
minister rose to lhe*pulpit. Hts form was
very erect, and his voice strong,. but his-hair
Was silvery white. He read several passage.,-!
of scripture expressive of God's compassloi
to feeble man, and ^specially of hjs tender
ness when gray hairs arc on him and ht?'
strerrgth failetb. He then mnde" some touch
ing remark* on human frailty, and .our de
pendence on'God, urging all present to .make
their peace with their Master while in hea'ti,
that they might claim his promises whin
hearEaud health failed them. "Theil!" le
said, u the eternal God ?hall be thy refuge,
and beneath thee shall be the everlastirg'
arms." Leaning ovor tho desk, and gaziig
intently on thc coffined form before bim-, ie
then said reverently ; "From a little chile!,
have honored thc aged ; but never till,gray
hairs covered my own hoad, did I know trily
how tnuch love and sympathy this class have
a right to demand of their fellow creature.
Now I feel iu" u Our mother," he added
most tenderly,li who now lies in death before
us, was a stranger to me, as are.all of thoo,.
ber ?esceudants. All I know of her is what
her son h?3 told me to day-that she vas
brought td this town from afar. Bixtyrrine
years ago, a happy bride-that here she aas
passed roost of ber life, toiling, as only moth
ers ever have strength to toil, until sho aad
reared a targe family of sons and daughters
-tbatshe left her home hero, clad in tho
weeds of widowhood, to dwell among her
children} nnd that till healtS' tlnd"strength
left ber. Oed forbid that em?met should
accuse any of you of ingratitude or murmur
ing on account of the care she" has been to
you of late. "When you go back? to your hoares,
be careful of your, exam pie before your own
children ; for the fruit of your own doing you
will surely reap from, them when you.ypur
se'ves totter on thc brink of the grave., I
entreat you as a friend, as one who ha3 him->
self entered the evening of life, 'that you
may never say in the presence of yourfami
lies nor of "heaven ? M Our moth? bad Out
lived her usefulness-she was aburden<o us."
Never, nnver; a mother cannot live so long
ns that ! No ; when she*can no longer lubor
for her children, nor yet care for herself, she
can fall like a precious .weight on their bo
soms, and call forth by ?er helplessness, all
the noble/.generous feelings of their natures."
Adieu, then, poor toil-worn mother; there
are no more days of pain for thee. Undying
vigor and everlasting usefnlness are part of
the inheritance of the redeemed. .

THE CtNTAi, SYSTEM.-The Cincinnati
Chamber of Commerce has passed very em1
phatic resolutions endorsing thc cental-system,
which has been adopted by the principal cities
of the North, and is to go into operation on
thc 1st of ?larch next. This is a long step
toward the much needed decimal system of
weights and measures. Tho -cental is one.
hundred pounds of anything ;*and weights
will, hereafter, be reckoned in centals' and
pounds instead of bushels, pecks, quarts, Ac.
lu accordance with this system tho weight of
the barrel of flour, on recommendation of the
Bufldld Chamber of Commerce, will, hereaf
ter, bo two centals (net) instead of 106 pounds. >
Those who remember what a task it was to
learn how many pounds of anything make a
bushel, will not regret tho abolition of so uh-*
