ORPHAN’S HYMN. BY AUGUSTA MOORE. Father! io, I dwell alone! Loved ones all before we gone. Father, mother, sidi by side, Sister, brothers, all abide Where no shadows darkly fall, Where Thy love is all in all. Whom have I on earth but Thee? Ob! my God, be near to n»e; I arn sick of lonely years, I am faint from loss of tears. Lack of lore hath made me cold, Wilt thou not my soul enfold In thine arms, and let rue rest. Comforted, upon the breast? Death hath now no fear for me. Joyful to its pass I'd ilee; For 'tis bridged securely o’er By their love who’ve gone before; And 1 have no need to pray, "Take the fear of death away.” l ife is what 1 cannot bear, If thou dost not for me care. Keep me ever in Thy sight, Guard me, love me, day and night, May I through all glooms press on, Fraying most when most forlorn; Watching most in fairest hours; Fearing most ’mid brightest flowers, ; Clinging closest to Thy side. When most dangerously tried. Let me trust in no defence Short of thine omnipotence; Bind the yearning heart of mine Fast with cords of love to Thine; Teach me every sin,to flee, Just because it grieveth Thee; And when life and tears are past, Take me home to Thee at last. T 7- | A Connecticut Story. A Man in rather indifferent ciicum-; stances, surrounded by a large family, i being entirely out of meat, bad recourse] to the sheepfold of his neighbor, (a wealthy farmer,) for relief. The neighbor, having a large llock of sheep, did not perceived he had lost any until one of the finest of the flock, very large and fat, was missing, and counting his sheep he found he had lost several. Unabled to account for this extraordinary loss, he resolved, a few nights after, to watch About midnight he observed an uncommon disturbance among the sheep, by the sudden appearance of a man dressed in disguise. — Curiosity, as well as to observe the conduct of the person as to find him out, induced him to be still. In the flock there j was a ram with which, it seems, the man ' was in the habit of conversing, as if he had been the actual owner of the sheep. Well, Mr. Ram,’said the nocturnal v isitant, ‘I have come to buy another sheep, have you any more to sell?' Upon which he replied himself, as in the person of the ram: •Yes, 1 have sheep to sell ’ By this lime the owner of the sheep perceived him to be one of his neighbors. ’What will you take for that fat whether?’ says the purchaser. ‘hour dollars,’ says the Ram. ‘That is a very high price,’ says the man; ‘but as you are so good as to wait on me for the pay, 1 think*l will take him- • Well Mr. Ram,’ continues the honest sheep buyer, ‘let us see how many sheep 1 have bought of you.’ ‘lf 1 am not mistaken,’ says Mr. Ram, •this makes the fifth.’ He then went on to cast up the amount of the whole; and after giving Mr. Ram a polite invitation to call on him for the pay, and bidding him good night, lead the whether home, while the owner lay laughing at the novelty of the scene, as highly gratified as if he had received ample pay for the whole. A few night afterward, when he supposed his neighbor was neaily out of mutton, he caught the old ram, and tied a little bag under his neck, and placed a piece of paper between the horns, on which he wrote in large letter: ‘I have come for my pay!’ Under the line he footed up the whole amount of the five sheep exactly as bis neighbor had done as before related: he then took the ram to bis neigbor’s house, where he tied him near his door and went home. When the neighbor arose in the morning, he was not a liitlle surprised to find a sheep tied at his door; but it is beyond words to express his astonishment when be found it was the old ram with which he had been dealing so extensively in mutton, with his errand on bis forehead and the amount of the five sheep accurately His.de out, as he had done a few nights before in the person of the ram. Suffice it to say, he obtained the money, and, after tying it up nicely in the bag, atid tearing the paper from his horns, he set the ram at liberty, which immediately ran home, jingling his money, as if proud of having accomplished the object cd hiacrrauJ, to the no small, giatitiie*a;on of the own< r.

A Lesson to a Scolding Mother. A little girl who had witnessed the per- ] plexity of her mothei on a certain occaision when her mother fortitudegave way, ( under severe trial, said: ■ ‘Mother, does God ever fret or scold?’ The query was so abrupt and startling, ■ it arrested the mother’s attention almost with a shock. i ‘Why, Lizzie, what makes you ask that question?" ‘Why, God is good—you know you used to call him the ‘Good Man,’ when 1 was little—and I should like to know if he ever scolded.’ ‘No, child, no,’ ‘Well, I am glad he don’t; for scolding always makes me feel so t bad, even if it is not me in fualt. I don’t think I could love God much if he scolded.’ The mother felt rebuked before her simple child. Never had she heard so forcible a leclure on the evils of scolding. The words of Lizzie sank deep into her heart, and she turned away from the innocent face of her little one to hide the tears that gathered in her eyes. Children are quick observers; and Lizzie seeing the effect of her words, hastened to Inquire: ‘Why do you cry, mother? Was it naughty forme to ask so many questions? ‘No, love, it was all right. 1 was only thinking how bad I had been to scold so much, when my girl could hear and be troubled by it.’ ‘O, no, mamma, you are not bad; you are a good mamma; only 1 wish there were not so many bad things tomake you feel and talk like you did just now. It makes me fell away from you so far, like I could not come near you, as lean when yon smile and are kind; and oh, I sometimes fear I shall be put off so far I never can get back again.’ ‘Oh, Lizzie,’don’t say that,' said the mother, unable longer to repress the tears that had been strugling in her eyes. The child wondered what could so affect its parent; but instinctively feeling it was a case requiring sympathy, she reached up and laid her little arms about her mother’s neck and whispered: ‘Mamma, dear, do I make you cry?— Do you love me?’ ‘O, yes. 1 love you more than 1 can tel),’ replied the parent, clasping the child to her bosom. ‘And I will try never to scold again before my little sensitive girl.’ 'Oh‘ lam so glad. I can get so near to you when you don’t scol.l; and do you know, mother, 1 want to love you so much?’ This was an effectual lessor., and the j mother felt the force of that passage of: Scripture, ‘Out of the mouths of babes have I ordained strength.' Shu never scold ed again. ,1 i, - An Irish Verdict. I In an Irish story in Bentley’s Miscella- [ ny, a murdered schoolmaste is said to have I been found dead in the road, with bis | head full of fractions: ‘l’m thinking it's shoe aside,’ said Larry. •The. horse’s shoe; was it?’ •No alanna,’ said Larry, ‘shoe aside is Latin for cutting your throat.’ ‘But he didn’t cut his throat,’ said the J widow. ‘Sure its all one,’ said Larry, ‘whether he did it with a razhir on his throat, or a hammer on his head It’s a shoe-aside all the same. 'But there was no hammer found.’ ‘No—but he might have hid the hammer after he did it, to throw off the disgrace of the shoe-aside.’ •But wan’t there any life in him when he was found?’ ‘Not a taste. The corners sot on him, I and he never said a word agi’ust it, and if he was alive he would. • And didn’t they find anything at all.’ ‘Nothing but the vardik.’ •And was it that that kilt him’?’ ‘No my dear, ‘’twas the crack on tire head; but the varkik was, ‘’twas done, and somebody done it and they ware ; blackguards whoever (hey ware, and un- ; known.’ A Good Bill.—A Gentleman whose house was repairing, went one day to see how the work progressed, and observing a quantity of nails lying about, said to the (carpenter, ‘Why don’t you take care of j these nails? they’ll certainly be lost.’— i‘No,’ teplied the carpenter, ‘you’ll find ‘ them in the bill.’ A lady was requested by a bachelor who was somewhat advanced in years, to take a scat on his knee while in a crowded sleigh. ‘No, thank you,’ said she, ‘l'm afraid uch an old stat would breakdown with me.’
