%ftu tyitl’t ®Bs*er. Toil On. Drearily .passes the day, Dreamily falls the rain, Bending low my head I pray That God will soothe my pain. Hearts that are weary and worn, Heads that are heavy with care, Hopes that are blighted and torn, Have no relief, but prayer. Welcome's the love that is true; Wretched the hate unkind, Wistful the hope, ever new, For tranquil peace of mind. Toil on in faith forever, Trust in God to the end; He will forsake us never, And blessed guidance send. pbrdhnrM.s.

- • __i— A Story from Ved Brace. Mr. Bacon, of Edgefield, S. C., the hero of the Georgia scenes, under the name of “Ned Brace," was once courting a lady either in Georgia or Carolina. She had refused him frequently, and he as often renewed At one interview she became exceedingly annoyed at his importunity, and told him she could not marry him ; that their tastes, opinions, likes, and djtflikes were totally different. “In fact,” said she, “Mr. Bacon, I don't think there is one subject on earth upon which we agree." “I assure you, madam, that you are mistaken,” said Mr? Bacon, “and I can prove it.” “If you will mention one thing about jvhich we agree,” said she, “I will marry you.” “Well,” said Mr. Bacon, “I will do it. Suppose; now, you and I were traveling together; we arrive at night at a hotel, and there are only two beds vacant; in one there is a man, and the other a woman—which bed would you sleep in ?” She rose indignantly, and replied, “With the woman, of course, sir.” “So would I,” earnestly replied Mr. Bacon.

Dodging the Old Folks. A young man in this city had been paying his addresses to a pre posessing little creature, whose parents were stoutly opposed to her receiving attentions of this sort, believing her too young to inarry. The suitor, however, like most suitors under the spur of parental opposition, continued to buzz around the domicile of his love, and in due time secured the consent of the old folks—who saw that it was a dead sure thing, any way—to go on with the marriage. Arrangements were made accordingly, and, on a given day, the wedding, which was to be a private . affair, was to come off. When the time arrived the family had in a few near relatives, the clergyman made, his appearance, and all was ready for tying the nuptial knot. Just as the ceremony was about to begin, the young man remarked that he had a word to shy, and calling the company about him, made this little speech : “We are much obliged for this gathering* on our account, but let me suggest that there is no necessity for any further business, as we were mar- i ried three weeks ago ! ” The minister immediately took his hat and left, while the father of the girl, gazing upon his wife, ventured to reproduce these touching lines : “This world is a fleeting show, For man's illusion given.’’ — Hartford Courant.

One of Eire's 1 ontrasts. An interior correspondent of the San Francisco Alta California closes a recent letter with the following little story. C Three years ago, while breakfasting at ahiining restaurant near the Oregon line, a stranger with uncombed hair, huge, gray whiskers, and tattered coat took his place at the table. By accident, I was relating to the landlord an accident which occurred some years since in the Connecticut Valley. After I had left the table and was walking alone, the unshorn stranger accosted me. ‘-You are the first man,’’ said he, “whom I have heard mention my native town for seventeen years, and it made my heart come up in my mouth when you did so.’’ This circumstance doubtless mada him doubly communicative. He said he was living in the mountains, fifteen miles from any habitation, subsisting by hunt iug and visiting the settlement not ofteaer than twice a year. This statement was afterward coroborated by other evidence. <. What induced him to lead this life, he did not sec fit to explain. In his early boyhood, on the banks of the Connecticut, he and the present Chief Justice of the United States lived on adjacent farms and attended the same public school. What a sharp contrast has marked their subsequent lives—the one filling the most reponsiblc position in the gift of the American people—the others hermit, unknowningKnd unknown, amid the wiki snd almost inaccessible fastnesses of Southern Oregon
