I Look to Thee.
Oh, Lord, in n-y declining years,
While journeying through this vale of tears, ?
4 1 seek in vain and find no rest <
When through the darkness and the gloom .
My thought's i. ok down into the touib.
And there a'.nne corruption see,
] lilt uiy waiting eyes to Thee.
When one by one. and day bv day, t
My brightest visions fade away; j
When all the friends of early years
Have left me in this vale of tears;
When all my hopes are overthrown,
And 1 am left alone?alotie? (
Alone without an earthly friend. I
f The remnant of my days is spared, ,
Oppressed with sorrow, care and pain,
My weary soul cries out in vain,
O let these earthly trials cease, !
And soothe my spirit into peaec.
if When like a withered leaf I seem ,
Floating upon life's turbid stream.
Borne aitnless on the refluent wave
** without a friendly hand to save.
Or on the earth's cold bosom cast. I <
, Driven here an J there by every blast, \
9 f And helpless in some corner lie .
^In silence and alone to die,
Tery in my extremity,
Ohnlp me, Lord, to trust in Tliee.
Whether the remnant of my years i
156 spent in sadness and in tears, ,
Whether my Weeding teei be torn
By cruel thorns, my 1HV be shorn
Of those sweet joys that sometimes given 1
. Make here on earth a little heaven.
O let tne with submission bow I
And kiss the hand that strikes the blow, .
The weary r.tcc with patience run? 11
God knoweth best; His will be done.
<
O life! 0 death ! O power divine !
What thoughts with these three words combine
I
What mysteries in these three words con- '
cealed, I
To human beings ne'er unveiled ! I
Front whence we come or where we go
We know not, and we ne'er can know !
0 God, my father and my friend.
Lead me and guide me to the end.
Till I shall gently sink to rest I
As sinks the sun adown the west. I
1 know the end is drawing mar.
And through the gloom 1 seem to hear
The spirit voices softly say:
f "O weary mortal come away: 4
? Come to the land where ail is pence. j I
Away these useless longings fling, 11
To earth's frail reeds no longer cling:
Give up the battle, quit the field, I
To 1 ho inevitable vield "

Antoinc Latourette was :i merchant in ['
the gay citv of l'aris lie was a t.inn ' |
of more than ordinary ability, and ha !
rais.il himself from a gainin of Paris to
an opulent and respected position in the (
mercantile world.
Anionic had a bosom fiiend named i
Francois Dainas, also a mere) ant and
also rich.
Latourette had a beautiful daughter,
whom lie called Pauline, and Dmias had
a son, a noble hearted and splciid d
looking young man,whom he had named
Antoinc, after his lite long liiend.
The two young I ample had loved each
other almost from infancy, and when
they were still young it was agreed between
their parents that tiny should
marry win u thc^md reached a |?:ojn-r

That lime was fast approaching. The
\OUtli Antoinc hid reached l is t\v<n,yllu.-d

years fws junior, lie* wedding da\ had
liecu fixed, ajd all coneem'd were junk
ing forward to the nup'ials as a season
of unalloyed h.'*pj?iiie~s. Put "tne
course of true l ?vo m-ver did run
smooth, and the loves of Auiinnu and
J'aulilic were no oxcep'ion to the rule. )
The merchant l.iiouretfu had one j
weakness, which overshadowed all his
viitues.
sprung from the lower order of Parisians
himself, he no sooner began to
accumulate wealth than the desire seized
him to become the intimate of those
high above him in the social scale. IPs

days by tl'c sacrifice of his entire for-1
tune, lie .""ouM gladly have made that:
faerifice. and considered himself the'
gainer by the exchange. And so it!
happened that just on the etc of the
marriage of our hero and hi nine, the I
Marquis Do Laportc, a member of the'
old noblesse, was introduced to the
proud old merchant, lie was a man
sonic sixty years of age, well preserved
and of immense wealth, lie was unmarried,
and having seen the fair I'au
line, /lite decreed that lie should I ill
desperately in love with her, and fate
also decreed that her father .should favor'
flic suit ol In r ancient but high born
lover.
In vain did the po r girl plead with
cats in her eyes that she should not

love?\ her affianced husband, hog and
rave b/ turns, in vain did lus lifelong
friend, Francois Dunns, appeal to bis!
pen so of lionor and point out to lum
tie' misery which would too suiely follow
a union of the Marquis and I'au
Jine. He was deaf alike to threats, ana
tliemas and iuiplorations. The idea of
his daughter forming s? brilliant an al
liance bad fairly turned bis bead and
warped bis better judgment, and he:
swore his daughter should marry her
ancient suitor, even though she died the
moment thereafter.
The merchant s will was all powerful, '
and the young couple Wire obliged to
submit.
Their parting was a painful one.
The young man was frantic with grief,

uid urged his nftiutced, by every argument
which lie could coiiniiund, to fly
with him. The temptation was a fearful
:ne, but her sense of duty and the dread
jf parental alitor outweighed all other
. onsiderations, and she determined to
icccpt her fate with what plilosophy she
ould.
And so tlicy separated, the girl bog
:ing her lover not to subject her to
cmptation hy remaining near her, and
n a few weeks thereafter she was united i
, her nicient lover.
Little satisfaction, however, did the j
Id marquis receive IVoui the unholy ,

itte l up for her reception, and grand
vas the funeral which only three days
ifterward took place.
Among the mourners present at the
Mineral was the young lover, Antoine

now that the idol cf his soul lay

idc of tlie grand coffin, looking down
upon the tigidfeatures of the loved and

hi agony which only those nil > have

who is that lady hanging on
the arm of young Da mas ?. l>o you
know her?"
His friend fixed his eyes upon the
lady to whom his attention had been
called, and alter a careful scrutiny re"
plied :
"Her countenance is very familiar to
me, my dear Marquis, and hut that J
know the thing is impossible I would
swear she was Pauline Latourctte, your
recently deceased wife!"
"1 would not i rust my own eyes," re*
turned the Marquis, with no less excitement
than before, "for my imagination

seat he nppioached the couple.
"Good evening, Monsieur Damns," ho
said as he reached them, "it is some
weeks since I saw you last, and I nni
rejoiced to see that you arc looking much
hotter than you did. Have you been
traveling?"
'Not far," retorted young Damns, who
looked much embarrassed, "I have been
a little way into the country?that is
all!"
"And there 1 suppose you made the
acquaintance of your fair compomoo.

searching gaze upon the young lady, who,
ah hough she tried hard to preserve her
self control, trembled in every joint.
"Come, Antoine. introduce me !"
"This is Mademoiselle Duval, a
cousin of mine," returned young Da mas
unhasitatingly?then turning to the
lady he added: "Cousin Autoinctt-,
lhis is the Marquis Do Liportc, an o'd
friend."
The huh howed gracefully, but fluslr
ed crimson as she did so, and the old
Marquis, after regarding her in silence
for some time, said :
"Yon .will pardon me, mademoiselle

' I feel flattered tn he told by so distingu'shed
a prrson as the Marquis De
La portc that I resemble his wife," returned
tiic lady, smiling; "hut is not
rcseinhlouce purely imaginary on your
part ?"
"imaginary!" exclaimed the Marquis,
excitedly; ' far from it! There is no
imagination about it! Why the voice
itself is that of my lost Pauline, and, as
I live, you have a mole on the neck in
the exact place aud of the same appearance
that she had ! This is womb-rful !
I'n<hui me, mademoiselle, but you will
gratily me greatly by giving me the
particulars of your birth and parentage.
"i would do so cheerfully, Marquis,"
returned the lady, now greatly embarrassed,
"I ut I ? I ? 1

' Pardon me, Marquis," l:c ?>aid in a
whisper so low that the lady did not
hear him; ' Mademoiselle Ihival is my

priced me of one wife and you shall
not deprive me of another if 1 can

FAMILY CIRCLE.
Evening at Home.
Tlio long evening*, which follow the
short days, are made, i.i pome families,
the happiest of all happy times. The
cares of the day arc ended; the mother's
resting time has come; the father Has
dropped all sorts of business worries and
perplexities, and the whole family throw
themselves with zest into the innocent
pleasures of the home circle.
Solomon tells us there is a time for
all things; a time to weep and a tiuie to
laugh, to play, and to dance. Surely
the time to laugh, to play, and to dance
comes most appropriately in the long
pleasant evening hours, when
The cares that infest the day
Fold up their tents like the Arabs,
And silently steal aw.ty.
It is well fir the women of the household
to remember that the pleasant evenings
at, home are strong antidotes to !
the practice of looking for enjoyment
abroad, and seeking for pleasure in and
forbidden places; for relaxation and re ;
creation will be indulged in somehow
by most men, and happy arc they win
find in (lie home circle '.he diver.-ion
they i.eed. A lively gauie, an interest
ing book read aloud, or. in musical families,
a new song to be practiced, will j
furnish pasf.imc that will make an even- j
ing pass pleasantly.
A little forethought during the day.
a little pulling of wires that need not
appear, will make the whole thing easy,
and different ways and means may be
provided lbr making tlie evening hours |
pass pleasantly, and a lime to be looked i
forward to with pleasant anticipations.
We visited once a large family, wh.ro
it was the duty of each sister in turn to
provide the evening's occupation, and
there was a pleasant rivalry between
them as to whose evening should he the]
most enjoyable. The brothers entered !
fully into the spiiit of the simple home ]
entertainments, and were as loth to be
obliged to spend an evening away I
as their si?ters and parents were Sony
t i have t hem absent, livery one spoke J
of this family as an unaoinnmiily united I
one, for each and every member showed \
such a strong attaclim nt lor the home j
to which each one contributed to make
pleasure.
