Mid the losses and the gains, Mid the pleasures and the pains, And the hopings and the fears, And the restlessness of years, We repeat this promise o'er We believe it more and more Bread upon the water cast Shall be gathered at the last. Gold and silver, like the sands, Will keep slipping through our hands; Jewels gleaming like a spark, Will be hidden in the dark; San and moon and stars will pale, But these words will never fail Bread upon the water cast Shall be gathered at the last. Soon like dust, to~you and me, Will our earthly treasures be; But the loving word and deed To another in his need They will unforgotten be! They will live eternally Bread upon the water caat Shall be gathered at the last. Fast the moments slip away, Soon our mortal powers decay, Low and lower sinks the sun, - What we do must soon be done; Then what rapture, if we hear Thousand voices ringing clear Bread upon the water cast Shall be gathered at the last. POOR GENEVIE, -0 Shortly after the conclusion of the late war, a gentleman, dis tinguished as a scholar and a politician, was proceeding up the Mississippi. During the trip he became indisposed, and finally so ill that, at his own request, he was put on shore at one of those little- old French villages between the mouth of the Ohio and St. Louis.' The agitation of removal and the heat of a summer day so aggravated his disease, which was a bilious fever, that he became de lirious, and for a time he knew nothing of what transpired: His returning consciousness dis closed to him a female, with a cap such as French attendants gen erally wear, a plain gown, and a black silk apron, with a sweet, gentle and expressive face, ap parently bearing the impression of deep solicitude. Perceiving him to be aA'ake, she inquired, in a voice of exquisite melody, if he wanted anything. Instead of an swering the question, the sick man, whom I shal! call Hartland, though that was not his real name, asked two or three others, in a low, feeble tone. "Where am I-and who are you ?" "You are in St.-, and I am poor Genevieve, your servant; can I do anythIng for you, sir ?" "Oh, a nurse, they have pro vided for me, I suppose," thought Hartland, "I shall, therefore, stand on no ceremony with her. My good girl, I will thank you for a glass of something to quench my thirst-I am burning up, I be lieve." Genevieve took his hand, and, after holding it a little while, laid it softly down on his head, saying, as if to herself, "It does indeed burn like fire." The touch of her hand was so soft that Hartland could tell that she pitied him with all her heart. At this moment his physician came, and our trav eler recognized in him an old ac quaint.ance, a senator whom he had known at Washington, and a very eminent man in his pro fession. He felt extremely grate ful at having so gentle a nurse and so able a physician. Yet his recovery was so slow that it did no great credit to either nurse or doctor, for it was nearly six weeks before his fever was fairly broken. One day while the doctor was with himn, it suddenly occurred to Hartland to inquire where he was, how he came there, and, more especially, to whose kind nees he was indebted forsuch be nevolent attentions. "You are in the house of Mad emoiselle de F-, a young lady of French extraction, a great eiress of lands, mines, and what not, extending no one knows where ; and, withal a most beauti ful, amiable, accomplished woman," replied his friend. "She is a ward: of mine, or rather was, for she is' now of age, and might have mar ried years ago, but for a singular scruple which she encourages at the risk of passing the remainder of her life in single blessedness." "Ah !" rejoined Hartland, who found himself not a little inter ested about the heiress; "ab, what may the scruple be?" "She imagines, or rather fears, it is her great possessions that attracts so many admirers wher ever she goes; and she once told me she never saw but one man toward whom she felt almost irre sistibly attracted, and he treated her as if she was nobody." "I should like to see her," an 3wered Hartland, "for, indepen dent of the obligations I owe her, she must be something of a uu riosity. Such humanity is not Aften coupled with wealth, beauty ind accomplishments. But you have not yet told me how I came Lo be here." "You were seen by a good old iunt who resides with the young lady, and who happened to be looking out of the window as you landed, in a state of partial de lirium. She apprised Mademoiselle le F- of the circumstances, who immediately gave directions to have you.brought here." "Upon my word, I owe her ob ligations which I can never re pay." "That is more than you know," aid the doctor, smiling. The doctor then rose to depart when Hartland, with a degree of 4esitation which surprised him elf, and the color rising in his pale cheek, asked: "But, Doctor, now I think of it, who is the gentle, kind, attentive 2urse, to whom, I verily believe meanine no reflection on your kil-1 am indebted for my re .overy. I owe her much, and you must put me in some way of ex pressing my obligations." C.She is paid for her attendance," replied the doctor, carelessly, 'and will accept of nothing from you, except what you will not per baps be willing to bestow on ber." "What do you mean by that, :loctor ?" "Nothing," answered he, as he leparted with another significant smile. Hartland fell into a reverie, from which he was roused by the steps of' Genevieve, who entered the room with slow timidity, and sked, in trembling accents, after his health.. "I am quite well, dear Gene ieve, thanks to your blessed kind-. ness, which I never can repay."~ "My wages are already paid," answered she, with apparent sim plicity ; "and now that you are quite recovered, I am going away. I came to bid you farewell, to ex press my wishes for your happi ness, and to ask of you sometimes to remember poor Genevieve." Thbere was something exquisitely' touching in her voice, -her look, and the dewy luster of her eyes, as she pronounced these words, which entered the very soul of Hartland. "Genevieve," said he, "sit down by me and hear what 1 am going to say. Nay, I insist upon your being seated, for you have much to ear, and it does not become one who owes his life to you, to be seated while you are stand "It does not become one like me to be seated in the presence of one like you," rejoined Gene vieve in a low anid thrilling voice of humility, as Hartland with re spectful violence compelled her to place herself by his side on the sofa. "Genevieve," said he, "you have saved my life. I am not ungrate ful. Do not leave me with a load of obligations on my heart that will weigh me down to the earth with a sense of absolute degrada tion. My life will be compara tively worthless, unless you per mit me to consecrate it to your happiness. I would make you my wife," cried Hartland, with a tone and expression that could not be mistaken. "My dear, dear wife, to live with me and be my love forever."~ " Are you really in anesat. ?" faltered she, with tears and trem bling. "What, poor Genevieve !" "Yes, 'Poor Genevieve,' I am in earnest-serious and solemn as a man can be at the moment when the happiness of his life hangs on the decision of a moment." His nurse rose to leave the room. Hartland sought to detain her a moment, fbr her answer: But she only replied with a loolk and accent he could not comprehend. "You will receive it soon from my mistress." "Pshaw !" exclaimed he in a pet ; "what care I for your mis tress ?" "But you must care for her, and love her too; she is far more worthy of your heart than poor Genevieve." "If I do may my---" "Hush ! do not swear, lest you should forswear yourself the next minute. Remember what I say. In less than a quarter of an hour you will forsake poor Geneveve. You will not acknowledge your lov'e for her in the presence of my mistress." "Come I" cried Hartland, seiz ing her band, "lead me at onje to your mistress, and put me to the test." Genevieve did not reply, but lead him into a capacious apart ment, whose windows, reaching to the floor, opened on a terrace overlooking a little iiver that skirted a green lawr, as it coursed its way to et@rn4l oblivion in the bosom of the great father of waters. No one was there to re ceive him, and Genevieve imme diatly left the room, merely say ing, "I will tell my mistress you are here." He remained a few minutes looking out on the scene before him, but unconscious of its loveliness, when he was roused. by the opening of a door, and turn ing round perceived a female ad vancing with hesitating steps and bead inclining towards the earth. Her face was entirely hid by a thick, black veil, which descended below her waist, and prevented the contour of her figure from be ing seen. Hartland advanced to pay his compliments and express his ac knowledgments, which he did with his usual grace and fluency. But the lady made no reply, and for a few moments seemed greatly agitated. At length she slowly put aside her vail, and at once disclosed the face of Genevieve, glowing with blushes of modest apprehensive delicacy, her eyes cast down and her bosom swell ing with emotion. In an instant he comprehended all... "Genevieve ?" he exclaimed. "Is it possible ?" "Yes," aswered the well-remem bered, persuasive, gentle voice which had so often soothed his pains, and quieted his impatience in the hours of sickness. "Yes, once poor Genevieve, your nurse -now rich and happy Genevieve, for now she has found in the man she would have sele.cted from all the world one who loves her for herself alone. Hartland, dear Hartland, will you forvive me ? It is the last time I will deceive you." Hartland was not obdurate, and the forgiveness was accorded by folding Genevieve in his arms, and imprinting on her lips the first, sweetest kiss of love. A Kentucky preacher rose to speak and opened the bible. The first verse that met his eyes, hap pened to be, "The voice of the turtle shall be heard in the land." "Brethering," said he, "at first sight one would not think there was much in the text; but on a little consideration you will see there's a great deal in it. Now, you all know what a turtle is. If you have been along by a pond, you have seen them on a log sun ning themselves. Now, it is said, 'The -voice of the turtle shall be heard in the land.' But the turtle hasn't any voice, that anybody ever heard, so it must be the voice he makes in plunging off' the log into the water. Hence, we con clude that immersion is meant, and that immersion will become nniveral." THE CONUNDRUM FIEND. He came in hurriedly with the usual "How're ye ?" salutation brushed aside a pile of exchanges, took a seat on one corner of the editorial table, and with an ent couraging smile observed: "Say, I've got an A 1 conundrum you can't guess in two weeks. I had a big notion to send it to the Scientific Monthly or the Philadel phia Bank .Note Reporter, or some o' them leading journals devoted to original humor and light lite I rature, but a little reflection told me it was my duty to patronize home industry, so I'll give it to you for notbin'-not charge you a sol itary red for it." And squirting a* stream of to bacco juice with unerring accuracy into a ten-dollar cuspador in the northwest corner of the room, he wiped his mouth on his coat sleeve and -propounded the follow ing awful conandrum ; "Why-which-that is, what is the difference between the widow Perkinson and her daughter Sal lie ? Now tben!" "About seventeen years, per haps," we replied at rand:m, with out susperding work on a labored and convincing editorial on "How the Turks Might hive Whipped Russia." "Oh, pshaw, no!" he growled; "you couldn't guess it in two months; and it is easy enough, too, when you know the answer. One-" "One has a husband and the other wants one," we again ven tured. "No-Great Cesar, no !" be howl ed in a tone of disgust. "Don't believe you would stumble on the right answer in two yea-" . "One," we interrupted again, "is a widow and the other is a wee dear." "There you go again !" the tone of disgust considerably deepened. "You can't guess it in seven yea-" ":One mourns for a late husband, and the other mourns because her husband is late-coming," we es sayed once more. "Julius Antony, no 1" he fairly shrieked, seizing our shears and fiercely impaling severalexchanges to the table. "It's a boss conun drum, .and you might guess for seventeen years, and you-" "What was the front name of the widow's dear departed ?" we asked, becoming interested in the fiend's conundrum, in spite of a previously formed determination to) kick him out of the back door in five minutes out of a possible siX. "William," he replied, between his clenched teeth. "A ba! Now we have a clew to the answer. One has lost her Will, and the other hasn't lost her will-by -a large majority. "N-n-n 0O!!" he howled, in bold. faced pica caps, which nearly overturned our ink stand, and made the windows rattle. "Great Ob elisk, man, what a one-boss con undrum guesser you are ! I'll tell-" "One is born to wed, and the other is worn to-" Before we could finish our answer-which if we remember rightly, fits an original conundrum propounded by every minstrel troupe in the land during the past twenty years-the fiend slid off the table as if he had collided with a bent pin, and cried aloud : "Why, you darned idiot ! you wouldn't guess it in two hundred and thirty years. The difference between the Widow Perkinson and her daughter Sallie is-" '"How old is Sallie ?" "-is this : the daughter has a moire antique dress. but her mother has a more antique face. Sce ?" * * * * * We reluctantly confess that the fiend escaped with his life.-.or ristown.Hlerald. It is little troubles that wear the heart out. It is easier to throw a bombshell a mile than a father-even with artillery. IT WAS ALIVE. He was rather an uncouth look ing individual, and as he sauntered into the store the crowd sitting on the barrels winked at each other and made remarks about his person. "Where did it come from?" asked one, pointing at him. "Somebody left the door open and it blew in," said another. "1 don't think it's alive," said a third. "Touch it and see," remarked a fourth. "Yes, it's a man-see it move?" queried the first. All hands laughed boisterously. "I'm a poor man, and I don't want to have any trouble with anybody. I'm a Christian, and 1 don't believe in turmoil and strife and can't participate in it. I pray you, wordly minded people, that you will allow me to depart in p6ace," said the now arrival. One of the crowd, more daring than the rest, hammered the man's hat down over his eyes, and another dabbed his nose full of molasses from a barrel standing by. Then the poor Christian took a volume from his pocket and began reading the Scriptures in a drawl ing, sing-song tone. While he was engaged at this the crowd played all sorts of tricks on him. One put some eggs in his pocket and another mashed them. Then the biggest man in the house poured some oil on his hat and lighted it. Then the clerk hit him under the nose with a codfish. Then that man quietly put the little volume in his coat tail pocket, and the clerk went head first into the molasses barre. When the biggeseman in the house picked himself from under the counter it was next to an im possibility to guess whbere his nose left off and where .the codfish be gan. No. 1 made work for the glazier as he hit a ventilator in the window. No. 2 hatched out half a barrel of eggs, and No. 3 got up on the pie shelf and stayed there. As No. 4 walked out of the door on his back he wondered how much it would cost to make him as good as new, and the poor Christian man remarked "The next time you folks pick me up for a slouch look out you ain't in tue wrong pew. Good day, fellers." - The clerk is waitring for them to comie round and settle for dam age done, but they must have for-. gotten where the place is as they pass right by without looking in' and their bills remain unpaid. [Shenandoah Herald. A HANDY WITNESs.-The plain tiff, in a case before a recent term of the Detroit District Court was somewhat disturbed on learning that a certain individual whose reputation for veracity was none the best was to be a witness for the defendant. The fellow's ca pacity for false swearing was no torious, and unless his integrity was shaken, plaintiff's case was a 'gone goose.' He hied himself to a brother litigant, and asked him if he would believe the witness under oath. "No," was the reply. "You know he is a liar." "Yes." "A thief." "Yes." "Disreputable in every particu lar." "Yes." "Well, I want you to go on the stand and swear to your belief." The friend's countenance became troubled, and he replied : "My dear fello w, I would do al most any favor for you, but, you see, I have got him employed as a witness for myself next week, and I can't afford to impeach his veracity." The plaintiff sought testimony elsewhere, and the false swearer got his price from both parties. Graves are but the prints of the footsteps of the angels of eternal life.
