THE NEW CUURCU DOCTRINE.
BY WILL CARLETON.
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.
But if the sinners won't draw nigb,
An' take salvation's plan,
I'll have to stand an' see 'cm try
To dodge Hell if they can.

"But I say you shall not!"
"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!"

and plunge of horses; the ineffectual
efforts of the driver to control them ;
then she was thrown violently for

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

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.

Thcro were four Shirt brothers in
the school Arthur, Lionel, Fred

a veil over the feelings aud expres

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Manchester there he was, sure
enough, in his old stall in the stable

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

dollars, I should not wish to do
much different than I do now every
day, working hour after hour. I
