. S1At^oaat, not^U?/om^afc? suming,' ' 8ho only wins all hearts anear, With that sweet faco where peace is beaming. Yet closely view that golden hair, And yon shall see-the white threads stealing; And thongU the brow is ?mooth and fair, Yei Time his way ia o'er it feeling. 4 So soft her step! so sweet her voice! So fraught her daily lifo, with loving; Her very smile mattes all rejoice, And from its spell there ia no roving. Tho little children round her cling; Sho tolls them fairy tales at even, And with them oft sho loves to sing Sweet hymns that breathe of Christ and Heaven. Sho listens to tho old man's tale, Oft-told, and maundering of the hours When life for hun wore pleasure's veil, And youth was garlanded with flowers. No hand can raise the sick one's head, Or cool the burning flush of fever, Liko lier's-and not au angel's tread Could como so lightly, tfring never) She has a helpful word for all. She wins #tho'recreant back with kind? ness; I S I She stoops to lift who stumbling fall, And, pitying, never mocks their blind? ness. To her we go when sorrows come She soothes tho hour of bitter weeping; Her ?till sweet face illumes tho home, Though death within his watch ia keep- ; ing. So gently goes sho down life's wav Perhaps her feet are torn and bleeding; Intent to aid another's way, Tho thorns in ber's she treads unheed? ing. Sojrently goes sho o'er lifo's way. We never hear a word complaining; Like some BWeot bird at early day, Uer wing to Heaven is ever straining. Perchance that tuneful harp of her's May have some st ring forever broken; Some chord that yet in memory jars, And echoes sorrows never spoken. We know not--only tbis we know, 6he's dearer far than any other: Topart with her were crushing woe, For in our home wc call her "mother." "Motherl" sweet name that infant hps First learned to calhour housohold angel, Whose briefest absence is eclipse Whoso presenco'is love's best evangel. An Amusing Accident. Ono of thone annoying, yet ludi? crous accidents, which will happen in tho best of families, occurred on Sunday, not over n thousand miles from this city. A dry goods clerk hud tin engagement to toke his lady lovo out buggy riding. Karly in morning, ho appeared before her father's door with one o? those spider? like vehicles, which aro probably con? structed with a view of ascertaining how light a buggy can bc made. Tho lady is sweet sixteen. Sh is full of life, fun and frolic, and is do- ' ci dod ly embonpoint, weighing about 145 pounds. As thc youug gentle? man drove up, his lady love was standing cm tho top ste]) at the front door, with her venerable father, who had bis gold specs elevated on his forehead, in order to get a distant view of his futuro son-in-law. Adonis jumped out of tho buggy, preparatory to assisting tho young lady in, but she suddenly took one of those strange freaks to which tho dear sex is subject. Tho buggy was standing about fonr foot from tho step upon which stood the young lady. ?She probably wanted to con? vince her lover that she was not clumsy, and thought this would bo a good time to show her agility. Bo that as it may, she gave a jump and lauded in the contre of tho buggy. If she had stopped there, all would have boen well; but alas! tho thin boards of the bottom of tho bnggy, unable to stand tho pressure, gavo way, and the young lady continued her descent. There was a piercing scream; a plunging horse, with a young man holding to him; a bundle of muslin in the buggy, and two little gaiter boots pointing within six iucbes of tho ground under it. Paterfamilias rushed to the rese?o and detached the horse from the buggy. He thou got up on one side, young man on the other, and they attempted to raise young lady up. "Ob, ?ton! stop! you aro killing me," sho orien. Tho boards had broken in tho centre, and the long sharp splinters extended downwards, and when they attempted to raise the young lady out of her predicament, those sharp splinters would catch her. The old man comprehended the situation in u moment. He told youug man to get down and bre.nk the splinters off. Young lady scream? ed 4,0, don't," and young niau wouldn't. At this stage of tho pro? ceedings, a practicaL?ioighbor came up with a hatchet, und tho young lady was soon extricated from nei? lin pleasant situation, and disappear? ed bebiud tho front door. i GOING BACK.-A colored man who ! waa up before the police court at \ Louisville a f?w days ago, on a Icharge of stealing* rainer took down the concern by remarking, as he wa* about? to be marched off to jnii, thuu "if dey didn't let a nigger steal a ? little in dis dam country, I'so gwin? back to Tennessee, where Mr. Brown? low 'iii sse a nigger git hin rights, sure." i A Belfast (Me.) seaman bas just received a letter whioh was written to him while .n Rio Janeiro, nine years ago. It had been traveling most of tho time since, had lain in various foreign offices, and bore the ; marks of several consuls, and hn;dly i had found a resting place in tho dead : letter office at Washington, whence it was sent to him at its original stort i ing place. A Norwegian woman, dressed in homespun, brief and limp, who, only seven weeks from her native? , land, arrived at Milwaukee ono day i last week, was seen two hours after j with a bran new hoop skirt under her i arm, just entering a car for Minne ; sota. Experiments have been made at Paris with tho view to transmitting letters from one post office to another by means of subterranean pipes, tho parcels beiug propelled by atmos? pheric pressure. Seven offices aro now on tho point of being connected by tho new system. A mau who won't take a paper because ho eau borrow one, should invent a machine with which he can cook his dinner by tho smoke of his neighbor's chimney. There is some anxiety about the tobacco crop; but never mind, cab? bages aro luxuriant. New York Advertisements.
