Remember? Boys Make Men When you see a ragged urchin Standing wistful in the street, With torn hat and knecless trowsers Dirty face and baro-red feet, ?ss not by the child unheeding: Smile noon him. Mark me-wh( He's grown he'll not forget it, For, remember, boys make men. When the buoyant youthful spirits Overflow in boyish freak, Chide your child in gentle accents Do not ia your anger speak. You must sow in youthful bosoms Seeds of tender mercy ; then Plants will grow and bear good frui When the erring boys are men. Have you never seen a grandsire, With his eyes aglow with joy, Bring to mind some act of kindness Something said fo him-a boy? . Or relate some slight or coldness, With a brow all clouded, when, He said they were too thoughtless To remember boys make men ? Let us trv to add some pleasure To the life of every boy, For each child necdij tender interest In its sorrow and its joy. Call your boys home by its brightn They avoid a gloomy den. And seek for comfort elsewhere ; And remember, boys make men. THE~L?5YTF1?E~K? -0 " THIS is the place, doctor-; for God's sake, make haste, 01 shall be too late." With these words, the rough la ing man who summoned me, tl open the door of a rickety te?en house in a back lane, and toge we began to mount the crazy sta It was a horrible spot-filthy, ( and wretched-the abode of pov and woe ; and, as we weut ap tc topmost story of the reeking bi: ing, I fairly shuddered to. think there existed human beings who 1 died together there and called den a home ! The thousand and one clock the city were tolling out the hoi midnight as we entered the sick rc and stood in the presence of a woi who I knew at a glance was dyin starvation. My profession had, in a meas hardened me to such scenes, for I been but two years a physician, 'the practice of a young nredical rh ling is, it is a known fact, gener among the lower classes, where w and the evils which always follov their track abound. .The chamber, if the small cram apartment was worthy of so digni a name, was without a carpet, ; contained by way of furniture o two half broken chairs, the di] bed on which the patient lay, an small, unblacked, cheap cooking ste The walls were dirty and smd and the sombre glare of a greasy oil lamp, with a chimney nearly scured by the accumulated soo many weeks, cast but a feeble li around. I looked at the woman stretel out and nearly cold before mc, ? as her closed eyes quivered wit faint but ineffectual attempt to o] when her dull ears caught the soui of our coming, I shook my head. The face of my conductor fell. " Is she past hope ?" the man asl anxiously, in a whisper. I nodded affirmatively. . '.I bought some brandy as I cai to you," said the kindhearted felic still in a whisper ; " wouldn't tl do some good ?" I reached out my hand for it a tasted it ; it was vile stuff-a nam ous compound of crude whisky a adulterated cognac oil; but it w the best sold in that neighborhood, had strength-so I put the flask the patient's lips, and forced a fi drops down her throat. She revived almost instantaneous and opened her eyes wildly. " Where is it ? oh, where is it she gasped faintly, and her pale, boi fingers began a tremulous sear about her neck. I thought it was delirium, ai waited silently. At.length she fas ?ned on a gold chain that was abel her neck, one end of which was hil den away in her bosom. A shade of relief passed over hi worn countenance at this flnd drat ing the portion that had been coi ceaicd into the light, she claspe convulsively in both hands a sma iron key that was attached to it, an pressed it to her lips. " Thank heaven !" she murmura a'; she did this, and glanced sharp! about the place. " Now, when h comes again he will not harm me !" Immediately she grew strongei and shortly she said, quite rationally but feebly " You are a doctor ?" " Yes," I said. " Why is that other -person wit you?" The man himself answered thi . questson " I am the owner of this house an your friend." "My friend !" repeated the woma in a low voice. My friend, sir! had a husband, but he was no frieni and he is dead-and I-I am dyhu too." I tried to stop her from talking bu#it was .of no avail, and she con tinned " Doetor, you are making efforts t save me; I know you are. Yo know the strength of a woman's will Yes. Well, X have mada up in; mind to die, and I will not be baulk ed. You ask me my reasons. Well you shall have them-after I'm gone They are written out in this papei Promise me you W?11 not break th seal until I am dead." I promiseil ; and she drew a smal packet from under her pillow, am placed it in my hands. Then, en . tirely exhausted by the efforts sh had made in speaking, the woram closed her eye?, n ii cl. after a quid gasp, ceased to -breathe. ,Bty companion, provided with flu necessary Certificate, sought HM un d'3rtaker, abd 1 went hume aa speed i ly a? possible, glad in my heart o hear, ts that tho woman was at rest. Once seated in my office, I brok? the seal ot the packet, and read th? following strange story I ha^e been a faithless wife ; but oh, how bitterly have I been pun ished I I was a native of a far country-s Russian. Here I was bur .. poverty .tricken and unhappy exile. Y^ears ago'I waa the young and happy wife of the Duke of all the Russians ! ' He was powerful and rich, and the slave.of my beauty. I loved him in return with all the ardor of a passionate soul. He'had *taken me to his heart a Cr iant girl, and had raised me from h, daily toil, to a proud coronet ! My' husband was forty years my senior! Yet, oh, how kind he was to me how fatherly ! We dwelt in the country to the south., and--the duke had a winter palace at St. Petersburg.. At coiirt I was the cynosure of jill ; "^The more so, perhaps, because my .history was known. From a rude cabin I had risen palace. But St Petersburg-the gorg capital-there it was-^amid spier almost li Ice enchantments-that ti. fell upon me ! Theie, amid ihe. crowd of w< and gallantry that came to la homage at my feet, I first sais cause of all my woe. There first burst upon my da? vision Count Ivan, glorious in a! charms of opening manhood. The peach-blossom of youth upon his cheek, and the roman love was "in his voice ! I o'vned his influence in my hi but shrank from it as an adder. Yet, whenever he was near, I conscious that new beauties flu into my face, aud that strange wonted sensations penetrated mj som ! I scarcely ever dared openl; look at him* but my furtive gb revealed to me a terrible fact. The Count. Ivan looked upoi with languishing eyes. Adonis himself never seemed i lovely to impassioned Venus tha did at times to me. But I loved my husband tond< devotedly, and thc thought of tre, to him was madness. And I did not meditate treasoi His passion for me still contii as ever, and was daily manifested Jealousy was as remote frou great soul as lrom God himself, hence, when gay noblemen, and 1 them the Count Ivan, were admir ly about me, the duke was not i p'leased, but actually treated homage : extended to me as ir. ; tendered to himself. I tried to shun the Count Ivan, My soul whispered danger to But the duke was 'partial to youth. He told him, while I shudde that his doors were ever open to 1 I could not warn my. husband. I could not tell him my fears. And I wept alone. ' Meanwhile the Count Ivan was most always near me, and each < grew more aident and more opel his passion. I could not fail to understand 1 now. . . At last the crisis came ! And Fate-burri ble and grim E -wrote in it's awful book the ful; ment of my destiny ! One evening I was left alone w my lover. "We were at St. Petersburg, ? the duke was absent somewhere, bi ed with the affairs of his vast est; It was the gay winter season, ? the frozen snow that night was al with the tinkling bells. I was alone with Count Ivan the great reception chamber of 1 palace. He was sitting beside me on divan, the led velvet covering which was but pale compared to 1 crimson flush that was on my chee We spoke in iow whispers. We talked of love. God ! the delirium of delight 11 perienced. He drifted back to the regions classic fable. He spoke of the amours of t divinities of Mount Olympus. . Ah, so glowingly, so passionate he spoke ! I listened, I hung upon his brea enraptured-enthralled ! The dark angels that were battli for my soul held victory balanced their hands. I was afraid. I trembled. I almost wept. The Count Ivan looked into n eyes and seemed to read my ve s?u i ! 1 shook Hire a leaf. I buried my fae in my hands. Suddenly the Count Ivan cluspt me in his ?urns, aud, imprinting j burning kiss u?>on my lips, drew m head upon his shoulder. .' Mine now, forever 1" But suddenly, oh, horror ! I hear the well known voice of the duh upon the s;t;'.ir outside. Tiie Count ivan >p<-ang to his fee and in a second I thrust him into large wardrobe, and was ju.-t turnin the key when my husband entere and stood befoit?, me. He was pal as the face of a corpse. Great di.' torted purple veins, stood out on hi lorehead, and bis .lips were twittfhin with a terrible convulsive motion ! He knew all j We had been betrayed ! He spoke no word whatever, bu went silently to the wardrobe am turned the key I ?iud left sticking i the lock in my fright, twice, and the: withdrew it and put it in his pockel Then for the first time he spoke. He simply said " Follow me !" More .dead than alive, I obeyed and we went down the stairs and ou into the bitter, biting air. A traveling britzka stood vaitin? near the place. I was hurried into it, - and after i few words to the coach:tian, the duk turned to me ?md gave me the key. "Keep this," .sud he ; " I must gi back ; I have forgotten something!" He disappeared in the darkness and was ab-ent perhaps ten minutes when he returned arid got into thi carriage by my side. We* moved .-lowly away, and as wi weut, my husband, pointing from tin coach window, uttered-*-; " Look there !" I looked, and 0, God! th? palaci we had just left was a.sheet of llame And the Count. Ivan was peri sh i II? lhere locked in tim wardrobe of wind ? had tiie key ! With a wihl, l^art-broken cry, j tell back in a swoon, ami lay 1 knov irot how long. When I revived J was alone in thc britzka. I felt i weight about my neck. I touched it. It was a massive gold chain ! Attached to it was the key ol thal fatal wardrobe ! The chain wat riveted to its place, and I could not remove it. A second time I swooned. When I again recovered I was in a compartment of a railway carriage. The coachman was with me. I inquired our destination. " Paris," he said. Ind ue course we arrived, and I was taken to a set of furnished apart ments, where I was left. -1 determined at oiice on suicide, and was about to carry my project into immediate exe cution, with the aid of a small pock et-knife I had in my possession, when my hand was arrested by my hus band, who at that moment' entered the chamber. 1 He bounft me by the most terrible oaths never to make the attempt again while'he lived, under pain that, if I violated the compact, he would instantly publish my shame and bring dishonor upon my family I I was thus forced sorrowfully to live on and to submit to his visits, which took place regularly each month. j His love for .nie was changed into intense and bitter hate, and his high est pleasure each visit was .to recount minutely tajm? all the circumstances of my treachery-;to him, all the events of that awfol .night in St. Petersburg. He made ^-me swear to wear the chain and key .to, my dying hour 1 This lasted for twenty long years, during the course of which he never once fail?d to appear promptly .at the appointed time. At last the welcome tidings of his death reached me. and I came to London to carty ont my cherished design of putting an end to my woes. I have taken this obscure apart ment with the view of effecting my desigr by starvation ! . The total omission of names and clues is intentional ! I do not wish to bring further dis grace upon my husband's family or my own ! Daylight was peeping in through the blinds pf my study window, when I finished reading this strange narra tion. Was it the wild outpouring of a lunatic s bram, or was it a sober, truthful ? At all events, I myself had seen the chain and key. However, as I myself could not judge of its falsity or verity, I have determined to publish the narrative in full as it came into my possession, with my own experience as connected with it, and I hope that its readers, if with them when they have perused ii, it may lack confirmation, will/ at least find a. touch of -melancholy in terest in THE htkDY OF THE KEY. Life's Brightest Hour. Not Jong since I met a gentleman who is assessed for more than ii-mill ion. Silver was in his hair, care up on his brow, and he stooped beneath his burden ot' wealth. We were speaking of that period of life when he had realized the most perfect en joyment, or, rather, when he had found the happiness nearest, to be un alloyed. " I'll tell you," ' said the millionaire, "when was the happiest hour of my life. At the age of one and-twenty I had saved up, $&00. I was barning $500 a year, and my father did not take it from me, only required that I should pay for my board. At the age of twenty-two I had secured a pretty cottage, just out side of the city ; 1 was able te pay two-thirds of the value down, and also to furnish it respectably*. ' I was married on ??unday-a Sunday in June-at my fathers house. iMy wife had come to me poor in pur*e, but rich in the wealth of her wo manhood. The Sabbath and the Sab bath night we passed beneath my father's roof, and on Monday morn ing I went to my work, leaving my mother and sister to help in prepar ing my home. On Monday evening when the labors of the day were done, I went bot to the paternal shel ter, as in the past, but to my% own house,-my own home. The holy atmosphere of that hour seems to surround me even now in the memory. I opened the door of my cottage and entered. I laid my hat upon tb' lit tle stand in the hall, and pas.-ed on into the kitchen-our kitchen and dining-room were all one then. I pushed open the kitchen door and was-in Heaven ! The table was set against the wall-the evening meal . was ready-prepared by the hands of her who had come lo be my help meet in deed as well as in name and by the table, with a throbbing, expectant look npou her lovely and lovmg lace stood my wife. I tried to speak, but could ri?. t. I could only clasp tbe.waiting*angel I? my Los mi, thus showing to her the ecstatic lim den of my heart. The years have passed- ong, \wi? y. al's-and world ly wealth has flowed in upon toe, and 1 am honored and envied; l>ut, as true ii? beaven, 1 Woald give it. all every dollar---f-r the-joy ol the hour of tout June evening in the h-ng, long aga"-New York Ledger. -*j-. -*<+mt*.m- - ? OWL Hui (?oed. . . A countryman was in New York onun Atigit-t Sunday, and-cross, d the Brooklyn fepry in the morning, for the purpose of hearing Beecher." But lo, the Plymouth pulpit was oe-1 cupied by a stranger, who delivered a tedious, common-phico sermon from the text : " And behold Simon s wile sj mother lay sick of a fever.-' Mr.] Beecher was away taking his vaca tion. In the aft ernoon the man sought to console himself ?or Iiis morning's dis appointment by listening to li. II. Chapin. Ile was shown to a front seat by the sexton of E. IT. Chapina church, and in due time was horr lied to see the minister, of ihe morning appear in the pulpit. The pour vic tim heard, for the second time, the sermon from the text : " And behold Simon's wife's, mother lay sick of a fever," and went ont of the sacred place very much discouraged. Mr. Chapin was taking his summer vaca tion. In the evening the man, thinking to redeem, in a measure, the defeat of the day, accepted a choice sitting in the Reformed Dutch Church, lor the sake of hearing the genial, chi quent ant) scholarly. Bethuue. But his fyeart/piite broke when the evil spirit that had possessed him all day got up and gave out a hymn. And when the Itfxt was announced. " And b.?hokl Simon's wi le x mother lay sick of a fever," the party who knew all about the subject, rushed wildly fruin thc over-lose, and ran rg hi< hotel. Dr. Bothm e was taking Iris slimmer vacation. Thc next morning the man look . the first train for home, and stepping into the car there was his ministerial friend of thu day before, with his sermon under Iiis arni. This New York bells were ringing a fire alarm,, and says the minister to his lay broth er, " Friend,*do you know what those bel's are tolling for?" Says the coun tryman, looking hard at the sermon, " I don't know, but I shouldn't won der if Simon's wife's mother was dead. I heard three times yesterday that she was down with a'fever." JUST ALIKE.-A stuttering man at a public table, had occasion to use a pepper box. After shaking it with all due vengeance, and turning it in various ways, he found that the pep per was in no wise inclined t? come forth : I. .'Tth-this pep-per box, 'he-exclaim ed, with a sagacious grin,- 'is so-some thing like myself.'

Policies, in Dollars and Cenls% for ten consecutive years, has met with unqualified praise from the most celebrated American Actuaries, tis also from the Press, East, North and Smith. The Hon. Elizur Wright, who is admitted to be the greatest Insurance Mathematician and Actuary in America, congratulating The Brooklyn upon this new and distinctive feature, says, among other things, "I am particularly pleased by your departure in the light' direction from the ordinary method of computing the Surrender Values" ''One of the great est drawbacks to the popularity of Lifo Insurance, has been the disap pointment and dissatisfaction of retiring Policy holders, at the smallness of the surrender value paid," &c. "All this would have been prevented by a distinct statement on the Policy, in advance, of the sum to he paid." This statement, it will be seen, The Brooklyn makes in dollars and cents, so that there can be no mistake. Rf ad What Southern Papers Say ef This Featirc I Thc Sentinel, (Haleigh, Worth Carolina^) Jan. 27, 1869.-"This great I feature of cash surrendei--values is .an improvement that signalizes the era in Life Insurance." / Sun, (Columbus, Qeto-gia.)-"There is-no better Company in the land; a comparison with other corporations of a similar character, will convince all of the sitperior safety in taking liskswith The Brooklyn Inf e." dispatch, (St., louis, Mo.,) Jan. 7, 1869.-" A Policy in The Brooklyn Life is thus worth so much in ready money. This is the only Life Com pany in the country that has carried Mis excellent feature (of endorsing the cash surrender values in dollars and cents,) into its bowness." "Pol icy holders being doubly assured, the system cannot fail'to become very popular." It will be seen that Ve assert nothing in the above advertisement, but make a simule statement of the superior advantages of jChe Brooklyn, as it appears from disinterested parties*. The Hon. M. L.
