Round thy bed they hovered, whispering of a Savior’k love; How they were commissioned to bear thee to the ! relms above. ' Soon as that-dark, relentless king set thy pure spirit free, ■ 1 Up, through countless space, to Heaven’s gates they • bore thee. ' A glittering diadem was wreathed ’round thy immortal brow; I On the margin of that stream all christaline, thou art wandering now ; 1 Drinking 'from its tide inexhaustablc —and not a sigh Escapes thy lips, or tear-drop dims the luster of thine | Bitter tears of agony have fallen o’er thy clay cold tomb; ' ' i The world so dark without thee seemed never could pierce the dreadful glooms i'iiy sorrowing little household band have drank the l it terest cup. .

IJliscdkunous. 'l’xie Boy v.lio was Isy Isis ?I;iinniii. Limby Lunipy was the only son of his mamma. .His father was called the “pavier’s assist-, ant;'’, for lie was so large and heavy, that when ' he i:s. d to walk through tiie streets, the men who were ramming the stones down with a large wooden rammer, would say, “Please to walk over these stones, sir.” And then the men would get a rest. Limby- made a rare to-do when he was a baby: But he never was a little baby—he, was always a I.ig baby; tiny, he wits a big baby till tin- day of his death; “Baby big.” his mamma used to call him, he was a “noble baby.” said his aunt; he was a “sweet baby,” said old .Mrs. Tompkins, the nurse; he was -‘a d-.-ir baby,” said his papa —aucbso he was for lie cost a good deal —he Was “a darling baby,” said his aunt by the mother's sid-‘; .“there never was such a fine child,*’ said everybody before the parents. When they wi re at another place, they called him “a great, ugly, fat tiling.” So Limby grew bigger and bigger every day, till at last he could scarcely draw his- Lire.ttii, and was verv ill. So liis mother s.-us for three apothecaries nnd two physicians, who looked at him —told liis mi nima there weie no ..opes; th • poor child wasdying of ov.er-fe; ding. The paysici ms, howetcr, presetibod for him a dose of castor-oil His mamma att liipted to give mm the castoroil, hut Limby, although he lik 'd cordi.fi and pap, and swe ■l-bre.id, and oysters, and other things nicety dish-d up, hadjio fancy forcastor- . oil, and sti iiggh d, and kicked. and fought, every time his nurse or mother attempted to give .t him, “Limby,mv darling boy,” said his mamma, “my sweet cherub, my only dearest, do take its oily poi.y—there’s a ducky, d>-ary—ami it sha 1 ride in a conchy poachy.” “(I! the dear baby ” said the nurse, “take it for ntirscy. Il will take it for nursey—that it will.” The nurse had got the oil in a silver medic.ines >oon. so contrived that if you could get it into the child’s mouth, the medicine must go down. Limby, however took care that no spoon should go into his mouth, and when the nurse tried the experiment, for the nineteenth time, he gave a plunge ami a kick, and sent the spoon up to the ceiling, knocked off nurse’s spectacles, upset th" table on which all the bottles and glasses were, and came down whack on the lloor. i His mother picked him up, clasped him to her breast, and almost smothered him with kisses. “I)! my dear boy, it shan't take, the nasty oil— it won't take it, the dariing; naughty nurse, to hurt baby! It shall not t ke the nlisty physic!” said she, and then kiss d him again. Poor Limby, although only two years old, knew what h<- was at IL- Was 'trying to get the mastery of bis mamm i; h* frit he turn g .ined hipoint, and gave another kick and a squall, and at the same time planted a blow on his mother's eye. “Dear little creature. H-- is in ast ite of high convulsions ami lever; In wifi m ver recover,” said his mother. But Liinlry did r. cover, am io I- w ,v- w-s running übouttlie lions--, ami tri" m • l"r oi it; there was nobody to be considered, i. t-i be consulted, nobody to be utt'-ijd d to, but Limby . Lumpy. Limby gr -w up big and strong; he had everything his own way. One day when he was at diaper willr.his father and mother, perched upon a double chuir, with his silver knife und fork, I I and silver mug to drink from, he amused him-! I self by playing drums on his plate with the | - mug. V

BENSSELAEB, JASPER COUNTY, IND., WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER .'. b e’

A“Don’t make that noise, Liinby, my dear,’’ said his father. “Dear little lamb,” said his mother, “let him amuse himself. Limby have some pudding?” “No; Limby no pudding —drum! I drum! drum!” I-, A piece of pudding was, however, put on Liniby’s plate; but he kept on drumming as before. At last he drummed the bottom of the mug into the soft pudding, to which it stuck, and by which means it was scattered all over the carpet. “Limby, my darling.!” said his mother; and the servant was called to wipe Limby’s mug, and pick the ,pudding up from the floor. Limb; would not haVe his mug wiped, but floundered about anti upset the cruet-stand and the mustard i on the table cloth. Limbv now sat still, meditating what to do ! next, lie was not hungry, having been stufl’ed with a large piece of plum-cake about an hour i before dinner; but he wanted something to do, ■ and could not sit still. j Prese itly a saddle of mutton was brought on the table.’ When Limby saw this he set up a er.ow of delight. “Limby ride, Limby ride,” rsaid he; and rose up in his chair as if to reach the dish. “Yes, my ducky, it shall have some mutton,” ! said his mamma; and immediately gave him a : slice cut up into small pieces. That was not it. Limbv pushed that on to the floor, and cried out, •’Limby on meat! Limby ride on meat!” His mamma could not think what henneant. At last, however, his father - recollected tint he had been in the habit of giving him a rid-' occasionally; first on his foot, sometini, s on the scroll' lend of his sofa, at other times on the top of the ■ easy chair. Once he put him on a dog, and more than once on the horse’s saddle; in short, he had been >in the habit of perching him on various things; and now', Limby h -aring this was a saddle of mutton, wanted to take :i ride. “Liinby on—Limby rid" on bone,” said the Schild in a whisper. “Did you ever hearsaid ’the father. “What an extraordinary child,” said tlte mother; “how ..-lever, to know it was like a saddle—the little dear! No, no, Limby: grease frock, Limby." But Limijv cured nothing about a greasy frock; not he—lie fras use'd enough to that; and therefore roared out . more lustiiy than ever for arid-- on th" mutton', “Did vou ever ktiow such a child’ What a d ■■• a:. de t erm in spirit' I[eis a child of an j; ;i----c-mr.noa mrii.l,” said ills mother. “ Limby, d -ar, Limby, d"ar, silence! silence!.” Th" truth was, Limby made such a roaring that .neither father nor moth.-r could get their dinn -rs, and sc ire.eiy kii- w whether they were eating b-.-es or m-ilton. “I’ is impossible to b-t him ride on tin- unit ton," s id iiis fatii.-r; “quite imp.issibh !” “W ell, but you might just pat.him astride of lh -dish, just.to ■ I: Uy him; ymi can t ik ■ c-ir ■ r.is legs or <-.’l,otln‘s ■do not' go into tie- gravy.” -‘Anything' l'-r;t qnii-t lit.',” said ill - fath -r. --What da -s Limby w ait.’ Limbi - rid"!’’ “Limby on bom-!

But Limby was not to be cheated in that way; he wished to feel th".saddle under him, and accordingly forced himseil down upon it; but, fueling it rather warmer than was agreeable, started and lost his balance, and fell down among the dishes, sous'd in melted butter, cauliflower, ami gravy—lloun luring, and kicking, ami si-reaming, to the danger Cif gins.s--s, jugs, dishes, and everything else on the ’table. child! liiv child!" cried his mamma; “O! save my child!” Siu- snatehi-d him up, ami press, d l.is gre-a.'s’4g7',rinents close to the body of j her best - ilk gown.

A Race With a Widoaw.

( 111, meiciful J.-hosopliat ami big onions, what , a time I've had with .that widder.. We chartered an omnibus tor two; on Christma-., ami started. Wid.l.r, said 1. where shall we go to? She ' blushed and said she didn't like to say. 1 tolif, her she must say. „ “Well. Jehuel, if you insist upon if, and I am to h ive my choice, IJiad rather go to church.” i “Wnat for. widder ’” said 1. “()h, Je'nuel, liowiean you ask me ?” “Cans I want to know,” said I. “Well—(blushiud redder than beef), oil, J"hti"l, 1 can't stand 111” - “t)h, pshaw, wiihi r, spit it out; what do you mean?” - Tne widder rilled. She biled right over like a ' quart of milk on the lire, and burst out with—“ll you can't understand me, you're a heart- I less brute, so yot'i are!” I -‘Hold your horses!” said I. “Wliat’s all this i about? I’m not a.brute, nor never was, and if I a muifcalh-d me that, I’d boat him sure,” Ami then I biled right over, and unbuttoned my coat coller to keep me from bustin’ oil’ my ; buttons. The widder saw Iw .s going to-explod" or else collapse my wind-pip", and siie tiling her , arms around my. neck, put her lips to mine, and ! then cooled right down'. “Jehuel, dear,” said she in an insinivatin’ way, and a voice as sweet as a liand-organ, “Jehuel, honey, I wanted to go to church to get. mar—no, 1 can't say it all you finish tl|o word, Jehuel, sweet.” « “What word marm?” i “Oh, you stupid Jehuel, dear. I mean .the . AV ord married love.” “Married, widder!” said I, “did you mean I that'.”’ i ••Indeed I did, Jehuel, love!” “Look here marm, my name isn’t Jehuel Love, nor J--hue! Dear, nor Jehuel Sweet. I'd h ive you to know. And L won't get married to nobodv but one, and you arc not the she!” Oil, pewter pennies, Imt didn't she rave! She inade une dash at me; 1 dodg'd, am! sue went mitt up against the upper end of the omnibus. Crack went iu-r comb, and snnisli went tiiat bran new lionm-t that 1 didn't buy for her, and down she went with her face in the straw. But in a moment she rose again, ami m ule one more dash ' at me. I dropped, she ivmt over m", and butled’J th" door of th.- onmibusß The strap broke and out she went—her gait, r boots higher than her' Head as site struck Im- p ivenient. “Drive on!” 1 yelled to the driver. “Woman overboard!” cried a’pas.siiig sailor. | “Stop that white coat—breach oi promise—reward—//er«Zd—publish! ! !” shriaked the widdi*r, in tones o! mo'rtal agony, while tears' of | blood streamed from her beautiful pug nose, 1 “Drive on! drive on!” I shouted. “Where to?” asked the driver. I “To Harlem—to Macomb’s Dam—anywhere, •o w« •scape matrimony and the widder,”

"FREEDOM NATIONAL—SLAVERY SECTIONAL,”

He started, as did the widder, and then we had it up the avenue, the buss having the start of about a hundred yards. I-'oot by foot the widder gained- Thinks I Jehuel, you are a gonner. So first I hove overboard thq straw. Still she gained on me. Then overboard went the cushions. But still she gained. “More steam, driver, for mercy’s sake'”’ I yelled. “VVe are going faster than the law allows now,” he answered. “Thirteen miles an hour.” Jeliosophat, how the widder did run: she hove oft’ her bonnet, and' camo up hand over hand. A thought struck nie, so I oil’ with my coat and flung it right down in her path. She sprang upon it like .a she panther, and tore it to pi-.-ees. i( )h, how they flew. I wept to see it go, but li'fe is sweeter than a coat, ami m\ tailor is maki iug me a new one. \‘> r e gained full t v-j hundred I yards, but on she came again.
