At night Mrs. Vandel told him Mer- <
Lis said she would marry Louis Mann 1
in spite of a regiment of John Williamses.
N ~ '
And so he was kept -in a rage for a '
week by the artful lies of Mrs. Vandel.
During the same time, Mertis was told '
that she was only an adopted daughter ; '
tbat she had no claiar on Jolin Wil- 1
limns; that his first liking for her had
become dislike, and that he would he
ijlad to hare hor marry anybody, so he *
was rid of her?but that sho should not '
marry Louis Mann.
Bread and water wns all Mrs. Vandel '
allowed her. Mrs. Vandel said such 1
was John Williams' command.
Mcrlis begged 'o be allowed to sec
her father. This Mrs. Vandel was very
careful to prevent, and continued to tell
lire old mar. the most irritating things
she could invent, and at the end of another
week he grew sick from this treat
ment. > i
Ilia pride was aroused, and he vowed
he would not yield until Met lis should <
beg lus pardon. Mrs. Vandel told him. |
as a reply from Merii*, that- it was hi* I
place to beg her pardon; and finally, i
pretending to pity Mortis, she persund- <

there was no doubt tlial John Williams I

Mr*. Van del also informed Louis s
Mann that hi* beloved Mortis was con i
fined because she loved him, and a* I
Louis Mann was na hot headed a* John j
William* himself, he did not hesitate to i
rebuke the old gentleman in sharper i
terms than William* had ever heard
addressed to him in all hi* life.
Of course Williams made his heart as i
hard a* a millstone, and th ought serious- 1
ly of turning Mertls into the street.? <
** Hut then Rlie will marry that impertinent
young rascal instantly,'* thought
lie ; and so told Mrs. Vundel to tell
Mi*a Mortis that he intended to keep
her locked up for ten years. .<* '
This was much longer than Miss
Merits could consent to be a prisoner,
fed on bread, and water, and things
happened accordingly.
One morning John Williams was informed
that Mi** Mertis had eloped, and
martied Louis Mann.
The tidings1 made the old gentleman
weep like a child. Ingratitude v> as
more than he could bear, lie had re obred
to yield, if hen Mrs. Vande! told
him of the elopement. lie said not a
word, hat going io a little trunk he had
guarded for eighteen years, lifted it,
ami carried it airnight to the shop of
.Louis Mann's father.
44 Tell your *on," said ho to Ilenry
Mann, 44 that this little trunk contains
the clothing worn by his wife, when I
found her, a lost and unclaimed infant,
in*A station-house in London. I lost

heart was ns soft a* a woman's.
lie had not been home an hour, when
a servant told him thai Uenry Mann,
Louis Mann, and Merlis had forced their
way to the front parlor, and demanded
to sfe hiin.
John Williams forgot bis grief in a
fresh rage, and strode into the parlor to
annihilate the whole party,
-What Tile began,
: ^Bot Ilenfy Manft, a gray-haired and
dignified, artisan, one of Nature's gentlemen,
said :

John Williams did so, and among

IIo opened his arms and cried :
"My boy ! tuy boy ! hail your moth;r

As lie cmbiaced Louis, his son, a

Mrs. V. and el fainted.
John Williams nnd Ileury Mann
never quarielled after that day, and

Home, Sweet Home.
" Lord, thou bust been our dwelling
place in nil generations." So says the
I'snhnist, speaking in the name of true
Christians in all nges. "Our dwelling
place "?our home. What u l?enu iful
ligor-e is here used, to bring to view, ns
it were, the resting place of the people
of (Jod. Home, O sweet home, llow
many sing of sweet home. And
though it ' an humble abode, their
hearts leap at tho thought, when fairway.
ltut what msko* hotne so
sweet ? There are our Isest friends?
those who sympathise with, and tender
Ij love us, and who are ever ready to
;rive us a hearty greeting when we return.
There are those we most tenderly
love. And it is love that makes
home happy.- It is thia return of affection
that make* us sigh after it, in
all our weary wandorings. Thcro is a
thought of rest, and safety in tho idea
of home. Tho weary pilgrim on a distant
hill, is invigorated with fresh
str jngth, if his distant home is seen in
tho*distance. And but a thought of it
will enable him to press forward in his
journey and Itear with patience the
storms and diflicnlties that come upon

will make amends for all. '80 of the
people of God. I11 heaven God dwells,
lie is their dwelling place. In Uiin is
rest and safety." There aro their best
ftiehds. Multitudes are there who love
them, and are waiting to give them n
joyful greeting, when they shall arrive
in aafety there. Through all their pilgrimage,
. and in evoiy trial their
thoughts Jy homeward, and heavenward.
YVeaiied and toilworn, the
thought of home, that resting place, inspires
them with courage and patience.
Timo and toil will soon end, and tliev
will rest in that loved heme. Once
mo?e, the Rweetness is occasioned not
only bv the presence of friends, but the
absence of foes. Should a man's farn!y
becotr.e Ms foes?then the sweetness
of home would be lost. But this is a
rare exception. In the heavenly home,
no fee can ever intrude. No sentinel is
needed thero. Sin and Satan, and every
evil disposition and vile affection is
forever shut out. And even here, while
longing after hi* home, how mr.ny precious
communications from above cheer
intn l>y the way, like loving ~wpi)tlo*
from the homo. of the lone pilgrim.
Reader, is Gol your retting place?

What Makes a Kant
[ A man never knows a hat bo Is capable
of until he has tried bis powers.?
i There seems to be no bounds to human
capacity. Insight, energy, nnd will, produeo
astonishing results, llow often
modest talent, driven hy circumstances
to undertake some formidable work, has
felt its own uutiicJ and hitherto unconscious
power ruling up to grapple nnd
to master, and afterward stood amazed
at its own unexpected success.
Those circumstances, those people,
: i r.! i .1 - -i
cireniin juki menus, inai provowe lis to
any noble undertaking, are our greatest
hem factors. Opposition nnd perseeulion
do more for a man. tban any seemingly
g axl fortune. The sneers of critics
develop tho latent fire of the young
poet. Tho anathemas of the angry
Git in eli inflame the zeal of the reformer.
Tyranny,threats, fnggOts,fortnrc, rise up
heroes and innrlyrs, who might otherwise
have slept aivay slothful and
thoughtless lives, never dreaming what
splendid acts ami words lay buried in
I heir bosoms. And who knows but
the wrongs of society are permitted because
of the fine gold which is beaten
out of the crude ore of humanity ?
Here is the truth worth considering.
Are you in poverty ? Have you sullered
wrong ? Do circumstances oppose you 1
Are you beset by enemies ? jNow is your*
time. Never lie there depressed and melancholy.
Spend no more time in idle
whining. Up like a lion! Make no
complaint, hut if difficulty fight you,
roar your defiance. You are at school,
this is your necessary discipline, poverty
nnd pain nio your masters?use ihe
powers God has given you, am! you
shall be master at last. Fear of failure
is the most fiuitfdl cause of failure.?
Stand firm, and you will not fall.?
What seems failure at first is a discipline.
Accept the lessons; trust the
grand result ; up and up again ; strike
and strike again, and you shall always
gain, whatever tho forluuo of to day's
or to-morrow's battle.
Tiiky auk Passino Away.?They
are passing nwav. Amid die busy
scenes of life wo are ofien made to realize
the shortness of this existence, by
l>eing called to part with some dear
fiiond. To-dav, we see a circle of friends
in perfect health?joyous by the prospect
of long life; their only thought is
for this world, nnd the happiness in
store for tliem. Put alas! their hopes
are vain. To morrow, death?that silent
messenger?enters that hapnv circle,

upon that happy family, now seated
around ihe home fireside: they know
not tlie meaning of llio words "care
and sorrow "?will it ever bo thus?
Again we visit them ; but now they
gaze in mufc despair upon the inanimate
form of their darling. Death has
visited tlint fainilv, and taken the flower
of the household, the youngest form
in that lit le flock. Surely now they
must truly realize the force of that short
sentence?they are pasting away.
Come with me to the death lied of
the Christian. His family are gathered
around hiui, atul arc listening for the
Irfst lime to his words of instruction !
llark ! he is imploring them to put no
value on the fleeting things of this
world, but place their trunt on high.
He, too, has passed away, and as !ii*
friends gather around his grave, and
h^ar those solemn words, " Mingle ashes
with ashes, and dust with its original

tho solemnity of this truth?they are

Mr. Y akcky's SrKKcrt.?An immense
assemblage greeted Mr. Yancey,
upon the occasion of his first nppearnnco
before the people of New York,
last night. Notwithstanding the high
expectations which had heen raised by
,thc Southern press, relative to the oratory
of the eloquent Alahatnian, wp
will venture to say that no one was disappointed.
and that no speaker at Cooper
Institute ever before made a deeper
impression on his audience. The
speech held the people spell bound for
two hours, and roused axi enthusiasm
that was almost impossible to repress in
order to permit the speaker to proceed.
Mr. Yaneey was bold and manly in the
expression of his opinions. Our readers
will see that he made no equivocation
on the question of secession. His;
exposition of the commercial relations
hot ween the sections was characterized
with cogent reasoning and unrefutable
facts and figures. His appeal to the
Union-loving men of New York to step
forward at once, and save the confede
racy by beating hack the coming torrents
of fanaticism, was expressed in
eloquent terms, and brought forth an
enthusiastic response from his hearers.
The ptiiited report of the speech, though
it chi)not give with it the clenr end
pleasing voice and graceful style of the
orator, will bo found well worthy of
(>erusal.?New York Day Book.
" A IIint to Tobacco Users."?This
hurtful and tillhy practice deserves no
sympathy,?not a whit-more titan liquor
drinking, lint we would not have its
victims poison themselves outright.?
See what Dr. IlalJ says about the wood
as sold in certain lead foil packages: '
''It haa become very common to iu
vest chewing-tobacco and snuff in lendfoil,
llerr llockel examined some snuff
from a quantity, pat t of which had been
used by a patient who was laboring under
a severe attack of lead poisoning,
and found that it contained two and a
half per cent of metallic load. The tobacco
near llie corners of the package,
being more peifectly inclosed by the foil,
contained the most lead, which, is decomposed
by dampness and remains in the
tobacco or snuff in the form of carbonato
of lead, which is the white lead paint of
commerce, which inflicts such horiiblo
sufferings on many of those whose busi
ness compels them to work in it. The
slaves of the disgusting " weed"' would
do well to tnnke a note of this, and abandon
the inexcusable flllbiness or avoid
using any that is enveloped with lead
foil."
Society or cninnrkv?Whan

is ever with us," that w e art) growing of

of the beauty and t(juth of God * universe

like genuine enthusiasm and the
buoyant ambition of the bright boy or
biilliaiit young man.
'* This arises half from their malice, j
and as mtigli from sheer ignorance of
tho nature and tempo',anient of genius.
When the climber upward ha* gained a
place among his peers, then it is that 1
those miserable flatterers cringe and
fawn as basely as they formerly maligned
and ridiculed hiin, nnd would fain :
crowd out of sight his old fiends and
staunch adheients. In his green age
and buddir.g season, the youth of genius
craves and requires sympathy. It is
I with him especially, (r.nd in a measure I
I with nil men,) an intellectual .w nut. as .
evident as the coarsest, necessary elements
of existence."

ITomk Like.?If home life is well
ordered, the children having according
! to age, woiking time, play time, books,
games, and household sympathies, they
will love homo and find pleasure there.
Give the little ones slates and pencils,
and encourage their attempts to make
pictures. Drawing will amuse thein
when noisy plays have lost tlnir zest,
or are unseasonable, and the art will be
I useful to them in after life. Have them
lead to each other stories and paragraphs
of your selection, nod save the
funny things and pleasant ones you see
in papers and hooks, to read to thein at
your pleasure. You cannot imagine I
how much it will please them, and how
it will hind them to you. Hut choose 1
well for thorn; for the impressions |
made on their minds now will last
When the- hills crumble. Have them
sing together, and sing with them,
teaching them songs and hymns. Let
them sing all day?like (lie birds?at
nil proper times. IIa\e thein mutually
interested in the same kind of amusement
and occupation, having specified
time for each, so that their habits will
l>e orderly. Let thein work together
in the garden, boys and girls?both
need out of doors-work?w hile the parent's
eyes direct and sympathize, and
their loud voices blend in loving accord.
Smali. Means.?Tho power of money
is, on the whole, over estimated.
The greatest things which have been
done for. the world have n.?t been ac
compiished by rich men,or by subscription
lists, but by men generally of small
pecuniary means. Christianity was j
propagated over half the world by
men of ihe poorest class; and the greatest
thinkers, discoverers, inventors and
arlists, have been of luodcrnto wealth,
many of lligip little, raised above the
condition of manual laborers in noirt
[of worldly circumstances. And ii will
j always be so. Riches are ofiener nn
impediment than a stimulus to action,
| and in many cases they arc quite as
j much a misfortune as a blessing. The
youth who inherits wealth is apt to
have life made loo easy fur him, and he
soon grows sated with it, because he
has nothing left to desire. Having no
special object to struggle for, lie iinds
time bangs heavily on his hands; he
remains mot ally and spiiilual'y asleep;
and his position in society is often no
higher than that of a polypus over
which the tide floats.
