There's come a sin-i'lar doctrine, Sue, Into our church to-day These cur'us words are what the new Young preacher had to say: That literal evcrlastin' lire Was mostly in our eye; That sinners dead, if they desire, Can pet another try; He doubted i( a warmer clime Than this world could be proved; The little snip-I fear some time He'll get his doubts reniorcd. I've watched my duty, straight an' true, An' tried to do it well; Part of the time kept Heaven In view, An' part steered clear o' Hell; An' now, half of the work is naught, It 1 must list to him. An' this ere devil I have fought. Was only just a whim; Vain are the dangers I have braved, The sacrifice they cost; For what fun is it to be saved, If no one else is lost? Just think! Suppose when once I view The Heaven I've toiled to win, A lot of unsaved sinners, too, Come grandly walkin' in! An' acts to home, same as if they nail read tneir titles clear, An' looks at me, as if to say, "We're glad to see you here!" As if to say,'WhiIe you have be'n So fat to toe the mark, We waited till it rained, and then Got tickets for the Arkl" Yet there would be some in that crowd, I'd rather like to see; Mv boy Jack-it must be allowed, There was no worse than he 1 I've always felt somewhat to blame, In several different ways, That he lay down on thorns o' shame, To end his boyhood days; An' I'd be willin' to endure, If that the Lord thought best, A minute's quite hot temperature, To clasp him to my brea9t. Old Captain Barnes was evil's son Witb heterodoxy crammed: I used to thiiiK he'd be the one, ii any one was damned; Still, when I saw a lot o' poor, That he had clothed and fed, Cry desolately round his door, As soon as he was dead, There enme a thought I couldn't control, That in some neutral land. I'd like to meet that scorchedup soul, And take it by the hand. Poor Jennie Willis, with a cry Of hopeless sad distress, Sank sudden down one night to die, All in her ball-room dress: She had a precious little while To pack up an' awnv; She even left her sweet good smilc 'Twa. on the face next day; Her soul went oil" unclothed' by even One stitch of saving grace; now could she hope to go to Heaven, Air start ironi sucu a place? But once, when I lay sick an' weak, She came and begired to stav, She kissed mv faded wrinkled check She soothed my pain away; She broujrhtmoswecthoque'ts of flowers, As fresli as her voiinc heart Through many lon-r and tedious hours, She played the Chritian part, An' ere I long will stand arouu' The singin' saint9 among, I'll try to take some water down To cool poor Jennie's tongue. But tears can never quench my creed, Nor smooth God's righteous frown, Though all the preachers learn to read i neir jsiblcs upside down the new scenes opened up before rage returned, however, when he her, was hardly conscious of the. fact fouud that Mrs. Aylmer had really that his will, not her wish, guided gone, for ho had persnaded himself and controlled all their movements. It was very sweet to obey one whom she loved so fondly. At last they settled in a house of their own, re plete with every comfort and luxury and life began In earnest. Now came the crisis. From early childhood, Harry Aylmer had shown himself possessed of an iron will, stem and unyielding. Carrie, too, had a will of her own. For the first few months of marriage it was very pleasant lor her to have him will lor her and gracefully she yielded; but at length the reins were drawn too tight, the intense selfishness of the husband became apparent even to Carrie and there began to grow up a spirit of rebel lion on her part, a desire to judge for herself sometimes, and to-act ac cordingly. Matters grew from bad to worse. This opposition of wills, occurring only at long intervals at first, became frequent at last; both regretting it in cooler moments, yet neither confessing it to the other; he thiukiug she ought to trust his judgment entirely, she carrying ever in her heart a sense of injustice done her. Those pleasant little courtes-ies which serve to keep love burning brightly on the domestic altar were, by degrees, utterly neglected, and the lnmp of love urew dim. After the lapse of some three years, how ever, a beautiful baby lay on its mother's bosom ; a bright, weejlow er, with its amber rings of hair, its pure, white skin, and heavenly blue eyes a very miniature of the moth er who bore it. Reconciliation en sued, not spoken, but tacitly agreed upou. Husband and wife seemed drawn together by the little golden link, and while the little angel glad dened their home happiness re mained. But a bitter time came, which should have served to unite those severed hearts more closely. The child sickened and died. When the stricken parents bowed over their dead, each mentally resolved to be all in all to each other, that no shad ow should come between them, but the lips spoke not of the resolve made in their own strength pride kept them silent. As the months passed on, the old spirit revived in each; nnd now, after a few years of wedded life, be- I hold minp right side up with care, tfHHMBjpP""' whom "God had join io Mucin ni eyes irom sin, mi 177?T.ii.,. in im .0. ..v., j uiniusi CUIISWU An' coax the Lord, with daily praver.

"And I say I will!" The speakers were husband and wife. The former leaned on the mantle-piece, nnd frowned angrily, looking down at the latter as he spoke. The wife, still sitting by the tea-table, for that meal had just been finished, did not glauce up as she answered, but went on talking to her lap-dog in terms of fond endear ment, aud feeding it with sugar. Yes ; they were husband and wife. Seven years before, Carrie Dayton, just 18, freshly freed from the tram mels of boarding-school, had launch ed forth into society, with a head full of romantic ideas of love and marriage. There she had met with Harry Aylmer. To her he seemed almost a god so far superior to all others, that very speedily she found herself thinking more of him than of any other admirer, and listening with beating pulses to his manly tones. He was verging toward his 30th year, and was already some what world-worn, for,being wealthy he had not been confined to the dull routine of a business life, but had roamed the world at large, traveling to all lauds, tasting every cup of pleasure ; but he was still very hand some, and his manners in society were perfect. Men had envied him women had loved him and this man had grown- weary of it all. But, under the proud, cold smile was hidden a warm heart, somewhat crusted over with selfishness, it is true, but it was there. And, when he met Caroline Dayton, he felt that he had encountered his fate. To him there was something irresistible in her bright freshness and beauty, and in the wiuning gayety of her artless manners. Then the polished marble of her fair skin ; the golden curls that fell around her shoulders ; the bright blue eyes, full in light these all possessed rare attraction for this man, whose heart had been so long untouched. Day after day had found him at her side, putting forth every effort to make himself agreeable. So, after a few brief months, they were married, and went forth to tread life's journey together. They traveled awhile; and the young bride, delighted with constant enmity each heart hardened and cold, never a loving word or caress, only silence or upbraiding. So matters stood at the time onr story opened. The handsome room, with its rich furniture, looked very inviting. Nothing was lacking that taste could desire, or wealth supply. But the light from the glowing fire fell upon the fair face of the wife, where discontent lay like a dark shadow, while the red lip curled in apparent contempt or indifference. A heavy frown darkened the hus band's brow; the firm set of the lips, and the curve of the dilated nostril, showed his excessive anger. Mr. and Mrs. Aylmer had been asked to an evening party, and both had expected to go. But the hus band had come home out of humor, which he proceeded to vent on his wife, concluding by saying he should not go to the party. Mrs. Aylmer, vexed at his manner even more than at his words, had replied tartly that she should go without him. "The invitation has been accepted ; we have no good reason for staying away, and I, for one, intend to go." "But I say you shall not !" said the husband, pushing his chair angrily back from the tea-table, standing up, taking a turn across the floor, and then going to the mantel-piece, where he stood, as we have describ ed, looking gloomily down on his wife. "And I say I will I" was the retort as the speaker turned away from the table, but retained her 6eat, and began to fondle her lap-dog. This was too much for the hus band. The cool indifference cut him to the heart. With a smothered oath he flung himself out of the room put on his hat in the hall, and went off to his club. "When the outer door was heard banging after him, Mrs. Aylmer rose from her chair, an angry light in her eye. "I only half meant it," she said ; "but now I will go. Ifhe had only asked me to remain kindly; if he had smiled on me, I would have stayed at home. But I will not be ordered!" Never had she dressed with more care. Never had she looked more beautiful than when she entered her carriage to go to the ball. After a couple of hours the hus band came home, for by this time his anger was over, and he felt rather ashamed of himself. His that, after all, she would remain. "How dare she defy me thus?" he cried, angrily. But, after awhile, came calmer thoughts. His mind began to wan der over past years. He dreamed of the bright maiden he had wooed so pcrseveringly, and who camo to him in all her young beauty. The stern face softened as the sweet vision camo up before him. He thought of the golden head that had nestled on his breast, of the blue eyes that had brightened at his ap proach, of the warm kisses that had melted away the ice that had crust ed around his heart. Ho remem bered how submissive she had been until he had driven her to rebellion by his exacting selfishness. Then came to him the memory of their child, and of the happy hours they had speut watching its unfolding beauties. His heart yearned for the mother of his babe. Memory, with her busy fingers, had unlocked the chambers of his heart, and her soft ening influence was doing its work. He began to 6ee at last how he had wronged and injured the wife he should have cherished. He sprang from his scat, and walked rapidly to and fro. "This shall bo so no longer!" he cried. "I will beg her forgiveness; I will win back my darling's love. She shall lie on my heart, as in the olden time." The hour grew late, and he began to wonder why she did not return. Opening the door, he looked into the deserted street. A strange dread stole over him, for nearer and near er came the sound of wheels driven rapidly. Hastening down, as the carriage reached the door, ho was confronted by a man who sprang out, exclaiming, breathlessly, "Mr. Aylmer, if you would see your wife alive, come with me!" And, forcing the terror-stricken husband into the vehicle, they were hurried awav. Returning from the party, Caro line Aylmer sat alone in her car riage, not thinking of the gay scene she had left, but of her unhappy married life. She was taking to herself much blame that she had not been more submissive and more for bearing, and wondering if it were too late to undo the evil. Tender thoughts of the husband, once so dear, were stealing into her heart. Suddenly there came a sound of men running; the cry of "Fire!" OLD SCHOOL DISCIPLINE. Ho-vr the EnbUmI Hoys Uffed to be l'unialietl. the whirl of the engine; the rear and plunge of horses; the ineffectual efforts of the driver to control them ; then she was thrown violently for ward and all was darkness. When the renentant lmslmnd reached the side of his wife, death had sealed her eyes. Some one had lifted her fair form, and borne it into the nearest house; but medical aid was useless the vital spark had fled. The injury was internal, and not a blemish broke the pure white surface of her marble face. Caroline Aylmer had never look ed lovelier than now, when she lay there in her gala robes. Her dress of pale blue silk, with its frost-work of lace and pearls, only made more pallid the rounded form, lately so full of life and health. She had passed away without pain, and very placid was the sweet face, fast grow ing cold in death. Words cannot picture that strong man's agony. He flung himself be side the bod.v, and his voice grew hoarse with pleading for one more look, one single word of forgiveness. Alas! none came. Years afterward, a grave was duj: by Btranger hands in a far-distant land. None there knew that the lonely, broken-hearted man, whose Ia?t reHting-place it was, when alive, had borne the name of Harry Ayl mer, and had spent his days, ever since that terrible night, in vain re morse for that fatal quarrel. There were two curious bits of discipline at that school ; one, that whenever a boy committed a grave offence every boy of the school wa3 made a party to it ; and a penitential letter was written home by every boy precisely in the 6ame terms. Here is an instance: One night, as we followed the ushers, two and two down tho pass age from the school room to our bed room, William said to me: "George, I hato that usher fel low." "So do I," I said. "I shall spit on his back," said he. "Please don't," said I, "wo shall both be strapped." Strapping was administered with a piece of carriage trace with buckle-holes in it, through which tho air rushed as it descended on the hand. "I shall spit on his back," he said, and, as I expected, the usher having, 1 suppose, heard, whispering us turn ed round, aud he was caught in the act. The next morning, after due per sonal treatment of the leading culprit by a process moro painful than strapping, the school room, nnd exery boy, older and younger, had to write from dictation, and then to copy from his slate, ou a piece of letter paper, the letter following. (Letters then cost them eight ponce each) : "My Dear Pahents We haye committed a great sin. For William Deuison spat ou the usher's back when we went to bed. I reman your affectionate son. Aktur Siiikt." Thcro were four Shirt brothers in the school Arthur, Lionel, Fred erick aud Augustus Shirt. I draw a veil over the feelings aud expres sions of the Shirt parents upon opening the four letters, price two shillings nnd eight pence. The like thing happened again while I was there upou the occasion of buying apple tarts from an old woman over tho play ground wall. In this case the sin was of a more general character, but as in the other ease, was made universal : " My Dear Parents We have committed n great sin. For we have bought apple tarts without the leave of the master, when we have plenty to cat, and that of the best quality. I remain," etc. The other point of discipline wa, that every boy who had not con- SomethlBg: ror Ugjly Girl. No woman likes to be ugly, and she who is born a beauty is fortu nate indeed. But let not the plain or even the ngly girl despair of ac quiring a sufficient amount of beauty to render her attractive. When a woman losea a, desiro to please she loses half her charm. Nothing is more conducive to beau ty than cheerfulness and good humor, and no sickly or unhappy woman can bo good humored aud cheerful. Every woman ought to understand that nothing short of deformity can make a woman utter ly unattractive, provided she will study her points; and poiuts of at tractiveness every woman has. A thoroughly refined, graceful man ner can be acquired by any woman, and is a powerful charm. Tho best grace is perfect naturalness. Still, you must study yourself, and form your manners by tho rule of thatart, which is but a carrying out of tho law of nature. But if it is your na ture to be forever assuming somo uupicturcsque, ungraceful attitude, pray help uature with a little art. If you are stout, avoid the smallest chair in the room. If you arc thin, do not carry yourself with your chiu protruding and your spinal column curving like the bowl of a spoon. Do not wear flimsy materials made up without a ruillo or puff or flounce to fill up the hard outlines of your bad figure, so cruelly de fined by the tightly pulled-back draperies. Study the art of dres. We once knew a very plain wo man who dressed so tastefully that it was an absolute pleasure to look at her. If you have been moping until you are sick with the thought of your own hopeless ugliness, bo up and doing. Young Woman's Journal.

Now, this gave the mutton pie a moral elevation in its own nature it did not deserve, being composed of what was left on the plates the pre ceding days of the week. William had been at school at Esher, with our elder brothers, Evelyn and Ed ward before Sunbury. There, one Sunday morning, having lost his hat, he was made to walk to school in a straw coal-scuttle bonnet of one of the daughters of the house. The ways of discipline are various. Setting tramps to labor is found to work admirably wherever the plan has been tried. They disappear from places in which the rule is en forced of making them pay for their food and lodging by a little labor. This proves that they have turned vagabonds not because they can get nothing to do, but because they prefer to do nothing. Now if we could have these plans generally tried upon some systematic prin ciple, we might see something like the end of one of the greatest nuis ances which has ever afflicted this country. Tramping can be effectu ally broken up, and will be when ever the patience of the public is thoroughly exhausted, and it is not creditable to us that the evil has been so long endured. Wendell Phillipi advises : "Never call a man a liar." We never do. It is more polite to call him a meter. gas- A Female Hermit. Old Mother Dildinc, the female hermit who lives in the mountains about fifteen miles northwest of town, says the Sutro Independent, made her semi-annual visit to Sutro on last Wednesday to sell a few eggs and lay in a scanty supply of groceries and other provisions. In conversation she seemed quite self possessed and intelligent. She says she will be sixty years old next October ; that she has lived alone in the mountains now for twelve years, and that she is perfectly happy in living secluded from the outside world. Her only support is that which she derives from 2G0 Angora goats aud eight hens. She says she is seldom visited by the whites, and prefers never to see one about her premises, for in nearly every in stance they tease her about her mode of living, and after their departure she worries over their conduct towards her. She likes the Piutes, and even seeks their companionship. They have never yet seen her in need but thev would shoot some rabbits or kill a few birds for her relief, and in cold weather have even shared the warmth of their blankets with her. In height this singular woman is about five feet six inches, and in actions sprightly. Her dark auburn hair lies in wave lets about her forhcad, and hang about her head inlong curls. Her dress ib neat, and in no way con forms with that she is reported to wear in the mountains. She is a native of Massachusetts, and has two brothers Hying in Westport, in that state, and a sister living in Lowell. Her living a recluse was brought about by troubles in her The Manchester (N. II.) Mirror tells the following story of a home sick horse that ran away from his new master and made a journey alone to his old home, a distance, of about 30 miles : "Eighteen months ago a bay horse was purchased in this city by Mr. Nathaniel Wiggin, of Greenland, and driven down to his farm. The horse was well fed and well treated, and he waxed fat and seemed as happj as it is given for the most fortunate horse to be. One night recently he escaped from his pasture, and was nowhere to bo found when he was wanted next dny. Harnessing another horse, Mr. Wiggin set forth to capture tho deserter, and traced him from place to place until he reached Newmarket Bridge. Here ho was informed by the toll-gatherer that the horse had been there, and evidently wanted to pa?s through, but was driven back and the gate closed ; but even then he would not go away, and (ho first time after his arrival that a team went through he made a dash, squeezed through alongside of tho other horse, and clattered away up the road, snorting triumphantly as he went. Mr. Wiggin, having no longer any doubt as to where tho runaway had gone, drove on to Manchester as directly as he could go. hearing from the horse occasion ally all the way, and on arriving at Manchester there he was, sure enough, in his old stall in the stable he had left IS mouths before. Toll and lie Ilnppj. The Christian at Work thinks Ruskin never said a truer thing than thi3 : "If you want knowledge you must toil for it; and is pleasure you must toil for it." Toil is the law. Pleasure comes through toil, and not by self-indulgence and indol ence. When one gets to love work his life is a happy one. Said a poor man in Brooklyn, the other day, with a family of eleven to provido for: "If I were worth a million dollars, I should not wish to do much different than I do now every day, working hour after hour. I love it a thousand times better than to rest. He has for nearly half a century been surrounded by work ers, and has caught the spirit of indusir. He loves his work better than food or sleep.
