THE LAST TIME THAT I MET\

There ani somethings hard to understand. O help me, my God, to trust In thee! But I never shall forget her soft white hand,

And her eyes when she look'd at me.

It Is hard to pray the very same prayer Which

on'*^al

our

mother's knee we

When, w?iere we trusted our whole heart, there

Our trust hath been betray'd.

I (.wear that the milk-white muslin so light!

On her virgin breast, where It lay demure, Seem'd to be toucht to a purer white 1

My tho touch ef a breast so pure. -Vem'd her the one thing undeflled iiy the air we breathe In a world of sin :1"? he truest, the teriderwit, purest child A man ever trusted ltil i* When she blamed roe (she, with her fair child's fcwef)

That never with her to the Church I went To pprtakc of the Gospel of truiii and grace, And the Christian sacrament, yftvjr And I said I would go for her own aweet sake,

Tho'it was but herself I should worship there, How that happy child's face strove to take

On ll» dimples a serious air.'

remember the chair she would set for me, By the flowers, win all the house was gone To drive in the Turk, and I and she gf

Were left to hi happy alone. There she lean'd her head on my knees, my Ruth,

With the primrose loose in her half closed hand*: And I told her tale* of my wandering youth

In the fair fair forelgu lands.— The last time I met her was here In town, At a fancy ball at the Duchess of D, On the stairs, where her hu*band was handing her down. —There we met, and she taik'd to me. She, with powder in her hair, and patch on ehlti.

And I, In the garb of a pilgrim Priest, Anil ln'twwii tit both, without and within, A hundred years at least! We taik'd of the House, and the late long rains, /Anil the crush at the French Ambassador's hall. And—well, I have not blown fut my brains,

You see I can laugh. That is all.

He looked aa though he might have cotne over on the Mayflower, or a barrel of flour, and be told me how the Connecticut river was started. He calledit

A LKOKN'D.

Away npinto New Hampshire, along time slncely, dwelt a maiden squaw. When she got over squawking, and grew up, she was as graceful as an oyster," and her step was as elastic as a umjurubber shoe. Her eyes sparkled ike drops of dew in tho morning sunlight her breath was like the perfume of forest ffowers, and her nose was like a figure four on a fire-engine. Her hair was black aa an hour after midnight, and her voice was like the music of running waters. There wa'n't a brook that could begih to babble as sweetly as she could babble, and her name was Wonita (one eater.) She was reared among sbagbarks and dogbarks. Her arithmetic was the goldenheaded studs tkat hold up the blue sky, and her geography was the ills and dales, tho rills and the rivulets. She couldn't have spelt Constantinople correctly if you'd given her a whole custard pie to do so.

Reuben Fenn was a mighty hunter, and, when far fjom home, ho wore furs, lie couldn't spell Constantinople, either. Thus Reulien and Wonita seemed formed to be hitched. He was skilled in trapping deer, and he trapped that dear, and where Reuben sighed for his dear, tho winds have sighed ever since. He married Wonita, and

WONITA MAlt lit ED RUHK.

With a three-legged camp-stool, a coal scuttle, aud a second hand awning, they went to housekeeping, and were happy. Rube's aboriginal father-in-law loved the great spirit, whisky, and one day Wonka's pop got corned then he was pop-corned, and ho took a repeating Thomas Hawk and combed Rube's hair with it, and Rube was gathered to his fathers. Wonita wept, and the toars rolled down into the valley aud grow into a llood that rolled in a mighty volume that all tho caliskiu in the country could not bind, onward to tho home of tho lobster and tho clam, tho ovster and tho crab. And Wonita died and was gathered to her rnolhers. And thus the Connecticut beeamo a stream tlioso toars did it all. Rube left one progeny it was a he ono, and they gave him no paregoric in his childhood, and ho grow to be a mighty warrior, and ho wont gunning, shooting cents off from lorked sticks until ho died, and was gathered to his grandmothers. And to this day where Reuben ahem'd as a signal to Wonita, grows the hemlock, and whero Wonita pined /or Reuben grows the pi no tree, and nil is lovely and the goose hangs high. RuIHJ was gathered to his fathers, Wonita to her mothers, aud progeny to his grandmothers. Finis.

I thanked tho Puritan for hiu legend, and told him if ho ovor caino to Now York ho must call at the corner of Ann and Wost Thirty-second streets with his family, aud spend week with me, and ho said ho would. 1 wouldn't adviso people in moderate circumstances to visit Hartford, because there are only six shillings to tho dollar thoro, and in New ^ork there aro eight. l'p thoro, if a follow has a dollar and spends six shillings ho is broke, when in N'Sw York he can spend six shillings and have a quarter lelt.

JOHN.

SOMR of the English Churchmen arc excited ovor tho proposal to expurgate the Athanasian Creed, and ono of them exclaims that tho torn per of tho ago is such that dogmatic theology is more necessary than ever: milk and water theology, making things pleasant reardless of the price paid, is the very ast sort of thing to be tolerated bv right-minded Anglicans in isTl.1' Which implies that tho English Churchmen are babes who require to have their spiritual nutriment mixed to suit the tastes and needs by the doctors of tho Church, and swallow tho prepared compound without asking what it is made of. Wo havo yet to learn that the members of this Church are infants, and tho sooner their rectors and bishops cease to regard thetn ns such, and treat them as though they had arrived at years of discretion, anu were possessed of common sense, tho better for all parties. Dean Stanley has no objection against any one bolleving the Athanasian Creed, who thinks it is true he insists very fairiy that government has no right to com-

people to assent to what they do not Hove is true, and that the Church suffers by holding on to an authorltative statement of nelief which not one out of ten intelligent men can honestly believe. It sometimes seems as though Christians exhausted their ingenuity in devising ways and means for making Christianity repulsive and the Church unattractive to tho«o who most need the inspiration of the one and tho ministry of the other, nnd who would prove «n honor to both.—Golden

TERRE-HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL. OCTOBER 7, 1871.

Do TOD want to make home inexpressibly happy? Endeavor every morning to get out of bed on the wrong •ide. Always ring for your hot water with the vehemence of one who thinks his house 1b on hre, and scold the servant through the dcor for her tardiness In bringing it. Never get your breakfast without grumbling that the eggs are always boiled too much, or else not enough and that -by no chance can you ever get a deeent enp of coffee. Except for purposes of diet or else to make a disagreeable remark, don't open your moutn until the meal is finished. If your wife attempts a little cheerful conversation.stop it with a newspaper propped up before your plate, as a hint that y'oa don't want her to bother you by talking. Never positively teP. her whether you'll be home to dinner, and be careful on the days when you dine out, to express yourself so that she will be sure to wait an hour for you. When you quit the house, leavo a last word with the servant as opposite as possible to what you 'told your wife, so as still more to prevent her knowing what to do, giving you further chances of complaint at her not doing it. Of course, be sure when you go out, to bang the door after you.

THE Rev. Dr. Sabine, the fastidious Pharisee of New York, who didn't care to read thb burial service over the body of George Holland, the actor, has engaged an Opera singer and an actress to sing praise to the Almighty in his choir. On the principle, we presume, that a living soubrette is better than a dead comedian.—Chicago Republican.
