J am weary and sad to-night, mother, 0, take me to your breast ; Near your true and loving heart, mother, I know that I shall rest, For the world seems dark and cold, mother, And the way I've come is long, But I'd hear again to-night, mother, Your beautiful voice in sons. My feet are weary and worn, mother, My heart is bruised and lone, But your voice can soothe me again, mother, With its low and mellow tone, In the long, long years that have passed, mother, No love like yours have I known, No hand, so ready to aid, mother, Nb heart, so true as your own. But my aching limbs need rest, mother, And my long pent tears must flow, Then take me again to your heart, mother, As you did in the long ago, And I'll seem again as a child, mother, While folded to your breast, And the past will seem as a dream, mother, And my weary limbs shall rest. A PLEASANT STORY. It was a cottage. Don't tell me that I don't know. Haven't I been there to gather roses and feast on strawberries? No! it wasn't a cot tage ornee-th?re was nothing French ified about it. It was purely Ameri can, and harmonized sweetly with the delightful scenery. No ! it hadn't a flat roof, nor a portico ; nothing at all of the kind. " But then it had rose vines running all over the win dows, and whole colonies of wrens that built their nests and sang beneath its eaves. To the right was a held of clover, red with blossoms; on the left was an orchard whence winds scattered a show ir of bloom; in front was a green lawn, shaded with some massive walnut trees; and to the rear opened a long grass lane through which the cows walked every morn ing to their pasture beyond, and re turned at night. I know well enough to whom this cottage belonged. No, it wasn't toa school teacher, nor a preacher, nor an author-no such thing. It was built by the hand of him who owned it and lived in it, and I had always ad mitted its excellent taste in blend ing .he useful with the beautiful, though I had never seen him-my visits having been to his wife, and during his absence. I had learned of him though : heard enough to make me intensely curiousto see him; for not a female tongue in the neigh borhood approved of his wife's choice. "What is the matter with him?" I asked ; " is he immoral?" 1 Not that I know of," was the rejoinder ; " but to tell the troth, Dully, he's insufferably ugly-his faoe is all scarred and cicatrized, I should think by fir?, and you know it always makes me nervous to look ~at'aTrythnrg-->oi that-kind.- . Poor man ? perhaps he got burn ed in rescuing some child or feeble woman from the flames?" I said. " Don't know ; never heard ; never made inquiries ; you know they only came to live in this neighborhood last summer, and I never dare ask what disfigured him, but I wish that you would ?" " I am considerably acquainted with Mrs. Winslow/ I replied; "I thought of calling upon her this morning ; perhaps she will tell me without asking." "Do ; that's a dear good Dolly !" And I did. The whole atmosphere seemed re dolent with music and fragrance : I couldn't tell why all the birds had taken it into their heads to sing, warble, and build their nests there ; and I didn't know why it was that the roses, buttercups, violets and daisies should prefer that place to any other ; but they seemed to, judg ing from th? profusion in which they grew. The whole aspect was delightfully rural and picturesque, and all oyer lingered an influence of quietude and repose. A narrow footpath, crooked as foot paths always are, wound alongthrough the lawn, beneath the shadows of I giant walnut, and by this I approach ed, entered the little gat*, and as cended the graveled wai lc, bordered by beds of flowers, to the door. It was open and I went in. Alone-a serene and peacef ul hush rested within. The bal.ny wind nest led in the wreaths of snowy drapery hanging at the window, where great white and red roses bowed their graceful heads, and the warm rich summer light came in and lay in bright bars of radiance upon the floor.. Notquijte alone either-a cradle was there; and it required no con juring to tell that the cradje had an inmate, a self-dignified, thoughtful, imperturbable little baby, whose quiet calmness I could not understand, it was wide awake, and its great blue ?yes were staring with infant persis tence at something, I couldn't tell what ; then they turned opon me and I returned tba gaze. But it made no difference ; tue baby had not a foul or evil thought to hide ; it was not conscious of a sin in word or deed ; hence there came no blush to that delicately rounded cheek, no falling to that calm, quiet eye, limpid as a lake in summer, serene as the . heaven's, in June. There was a rustle and a flutter of muslin, the sound of a slight springy step, the g]impse of a fairy form, and Mrs* Winslow stood before me. She was not very beautiful but spark ling and vivacions, with a glow of health on her cheek and its light in her eye. The baby had roused now to be sure ; no more of its quiet and calm ness, no more of its thoughtfulness and serenity. Its littlo form fairly fluttered with joy ; it laughed, clap ping its dimpled hands. " You've come to stay all day with me, haven't you ? and the baby had such good company while mamma was gone, hadn't it?" she said ina light chirrupy way that set off the Jittle feMow with renewed delight. tf&p invitation had only seconded my design, ?o remove my bonnet and mantilla, while sh$ sat down on the j rocker and took the baby, we prepar-1 ed to enjoy the day and each other's i society. ! I can't tall you what'we talked. " 7' ' 1 '''YO'/ i '\? about. No ; it waa not of balls operas, nor lions, nor sights, not a neighbor's character was 8ected. No ; tke infirmities of clergyman were not shown up. not a morsel of private scandal cut and carved. But the time swiftly and pleasantly after dh and when the great round sun sinking behind the trees that bu and glowed in the rich, warm 1 she came to where I was sitting, without a word laid a portrait ii lap. It was that of a noble loo man, with most expressive and ft less features. " L> this your husband ? I as " My husband as he was," she swered, with a sigh. " You 1 seen him ?" I replied in the negative. " You will stay with, me this e ingl" I replied that I should be ha to form his acquaintance, and aj looked at his portrait. " He doesn't look like that no she answered, wiping away a ti " yet he says," he shall ever h cause to bless the fire by which lost his good looks, but which i him what he esteemed a thous times more valuable." "What was it?" I asked \ unaccountable dullness of apprel sioe. .She pointed archly and will smile, to her wedding ring. " Do tell me the story; I sho j be delighted to hear it." Again she smiled, saying. " I do not know that you will c sider it very interesting ; howe; several reasons conspire to make wish that you should know all, a since you have never heard, perhi I may as well tell you." " Certainly, certainly." " You, see, when Mr. Winslow fi began his attentions to me, I wai at all pleased. He was handsome knew but I had set my mind, vt foolishly, I suppose,-on'having a ri husband, and one that could kc me above the necessities of WOJ So I slighted and repulsed him on occasions, treating him not men with indifference, but with acti loathing and scorn. Such treatrac one might have supposed would ha quickly obliterated his passion; tue contrary, however, it seemed on to increase it. About this time I formed the s quaintance of a city gentleman, who i umor reported immensely rich, ai whose intense selfishness was veili beneath a manner of the utmc suavity. His attentions to me we marked, and not to be mistaken-ar though he had not spoken of lov ?JO acted and looked it, and I b ?iuved him. " It ivas in October, I think, tl -atmosphere dry_and..eool, with nig] winds, when, as we were returnir from a party, late at night, I w; surprised and shocked ny the uppea ance, in the distance, of a deep rc light, that seemed to climb the sk and quench the very stars. A wil and awful presentiment of approacl ing evil at the same instant crosse my mind. "If that should be our house," almost shrieked. " Nonsense-it is much farther off, exclaimed Barton. " But I was not satisfied, and hui ried on eagerly, dragging him wit me. " We came nearer, nearer. M fears were all too true. It was in deed our beautiful home, wrapped i one broad sheet of smoke and flame or with forked tongues lapping th pillars, and shooting from the win dows, while up at one of the Bky lights stood my mother in her nigh drees. "With one wild' shriek I oalled th' attention of the crowd to her situa tion. Hundreds of people by thi time had collected, though chiefly, a if. seemed, for the gratification of cu riosity. Scm.e were running wi tl ropes and ladders, others shouting and giving orders, which po on< ..emed inclined to obey. " My mother- my mother," I cried " Will no one go to the assistance o my moth#- ?" " Every i.iiomen't the flames in creased with astonishing rapidity surging and roaring like a sea oJ storm. Still my mother stood there surveying the scene with the resig nation of a martyr. "Barton! Barton!" I shrieked, " for God's sake help my mother." He stood still. I implored and urged him. At length he turned toward me with a ir?wu, saying : " I cannot ri.sk my own life to save even your mother." " Great heavens ! and I have loved ?his mau." The thought rushed seeth ing and heavy through my brain. " There was a shout, an exclama tion, an utterance of brave stiong words. Some nervous arra had plap ed a ladder, and a man was rapidly mounting-on-through the dense smoke wreaths--tl rough singing flames, scorched by il)? intense sus pense; the crowd swayed an4 mur mured like a wind swept wave. He appeared again ; I saw my motherin his arms; I know that she was saved. There was a crash of the roof, ming led with wild exclamations ; a great mist swam before my eyes ; a noise not unlike that of the roaring flames was in my ears, and I lost the con sciousness of surrounding objects. " Is it necessary to tell who it was that thus rescued my mother ? what ^emptions I experienced upon hearing how deeply I wa* indebted to the man I had despis?d? Jt ja n,ec,essaryf however, for me. to tell you, that there and then he forever lost the good looks which you admire in that portrait. The clothes were burned from.his body and the flesh of his face'arid neck scarred and scorched till the skin seemed to have the con-, sistency of leather." "There; there, my dear," said a manly voice at the door, "you have told enough; let me finish." I looked up ; a man was .there, on whose countenance there were deep traces of the fiery element, but he didn't look ugly to me at all, Each '. scar seemed rather a badge of honor, I and' the very soul of truth and no blenesa beaming radiantly in his eyes. His wife presented lira and as h< gave me his hand, he.sad : " One whom my dea$jwife esteem! so much cannot be a stianger tomine and now, since she has old y au par' -for I hav^e boen a sal eaves-drop per-letme tell yon thereat.'' I joyfully -assented. | , "Then and therese began, ".] heard the flames roarijg. arountkme^ and felt its fiery breat&corching my cheeks, and seeming fy lap up the very springs of life, Jot ^as cbn scions of only a great j<*. at my heart, for the mother of the prized one was in my arms. I knew ?jien I touched the ground with my prjciou3 charge, by the acclamations ths rent the.air, but could only thinki?itl had made ber happy, and in the/bliss of that assurance forgot for thltime my suf ferings, the world an' everything.

The people will not elect'a man to the Presidency who wears the Democratic label.. The party aa a party^canri?t ^ope to come td pow er Uiider that name. They must take a. departure so wide as to leave the name behind. The Grant majority in Congress is so large and strong that they will fall into quarrels before the end of the term. They think they are back ?d by such majorities they can afford to have an occasional row, among themselves. Eut their- strength in Congress is out, of proportion ,to t1 eir strength elsewhere. They have not so'much of a majority of the people at their backs as they think, u. A fair vote all over the. United States, ta ken without perplexing side issues, would show this Grant party's ma jority to be decidedly small, if, in deed, it has a majority at alL The strength of the parties in Congress; or as it will be next^session, is not a fair index of popular feeling. lonly consider that the'Liberal movement has been put back-" post poned," as the Tribune said. It is the party of the future. Much'will happen during the next four years to strengthen it, and nothing to weaken it. It will grow from this, day. But it is essential that the Democracy, as a seperate organiza tion, should get out of th? way and give it fair sweep. THE TSIBUSE STILL ON GREELEY'S Line.-The control of-the Tribune bas at' last been definitely settled. Its editor will neither . be Schuyler Colfax nor George William Curtis. Mr.gilliam'Orton and the parties with whom he acted bought a con trolling interest for a purpose, ' and, failing to accomplish that purpose, have sold their shares again. Mr, Whitelaw.Keid!, the former manager of the paper, is the purchaser, and becomes (?ditor-in-chief^of the' jour nal.' DJlr. Eeid intends to stick *to the independent position taken by phf ?Hbunc nearly, a year ago under Mr. Ijreel?y. "An ?aTtbri?T?hnouric-'*. ing the proprietorship has the fol lowing ; We purpose continuing our old battle against injustice and ignorance, under the same Republican banner which Horace Greeley upheld so stout ly and so long, and on the same poli cy of candid independence which it was one of his latest acts to reaffirm, over his. own signature, in these col umus. Naturally we shall prefer to support, as far as possible, an admin istration which professes the party name. Such an administration will receive from us a frank and cordial approval of every action performed in accordance with the principles, but the Tribune is nobody's official advocate. Our party sympathies are not strong enough to overcome our independence or muzzle our honest utterances. - - - -< -Zo-- ?- ?. - - THE LUNATIC A SYLUM.-Dr. En sor, the Superintendent of the State Lunatic Asylum, publishes the fol lowing Card in the Columbia Union: HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE. riie undersigned, on behalf of him ielf, the employees and the inmates ?nder his charge, in the So^th Oaro ina Lunatic Asylum, desires to re ,urn thanks to.

What .irse should a family, who ive as neu. y as possible according o the laws of health, pursue when 'isitors are present who have always teen accustomed to living in the or liuary way.

People who, as a habit, live in a iroper and healthful manner should .lalee no change for the worse when hey have company. They should ive well always, and live so as to eep Vf?ll, aflcf in such a manner as ot to be ashamed to have people now how they live.
