Go! leave me, Priest; my soul would be Alone with the conioier, Death; Far sidder eyes than thine will see This fruublin clay yield up its breath; These shrivelled hinhave deeper stains Tlun holy oil can cleanse away, IlinJ that hive plucked the worid'a eoarse (rains As erst they plucked the flowers of May. Calt if thou can.t, to those gray ;ye3 Some faith from youth's traditions wrung; This fruitless husk which duatward dries Has been a heart once, has been young; On this bowed head the awful Past Once laid its consecrating hands: The Future in its purpose vast Paused, waiting my supreme commands. Rut look! whose shadows block the door? Who are those two that Etand aloof? See! on my hands this freshening gore Writes o'er again its crimson proof ! My looked-for death-bed guests are met; There my dead Youth doth wrizg its hands, And there, with eye that goad me yet, The ghost of my Ideal stands. God bends from out the deep and says, 'I gave thee the great gift of life; Wast thou not callci in many ways? Are not my earth and heaven at strife? I gave thee of my ceed to sow, Rringest thou me my hundred fold?' Can I look up with face aglow, And answer, "Father, here is gold?" I have been innocent ; God knows When lirst this wasted life began, Not j-rap with crape more kindly grows, Tlun I with every brother man : Now here I gap; what lose my kind, When this last-ebbing breath shall part ? What bands of love and service bind This beiii" to the world's sad heart? Christ still was wandering o'er the earth Without a place to lay his head; He found free welcome nt my hearth, He sh ired my cup and broke my bread : Now, when 1 hea. those steps subiime, That bring the other world to this, My snake-turned nature, sunk in slime, Starts side way with defiant hiss. lTpon the hour when I was born, God slid "Another mm shall be," And the :re:U Maker did not scorn Out of himself to fashion me ; lie suiincil me with Iiis ripening looks, Ami Heaven's rich instincts in me grov, As elloitless n woodland nooks Send violets up anil paint them blue. ll ivr I'onif uiniM t;tli( i U r Ton rseore years A jtrk of t!i iti-rn il (!; . ii I tu wlut ? linw yi Kl I !).ick T?u4 lru.-t for cli hi;:h u.os rivi m? lie vm's li'it hath !ut rcvtiiil a trtck Wlnnlv to crawl awav frcm luavui. j .Mrji think it i nil awful siqlit j To se c a fr.ul jr. st, ct aI ri ft On l hat Ircar vova-'e from w1hm iii"ht m i,., ,:,,. i, ,.i.,.a ,,.. i:,, . o... , lint 'ti-s mrr uwful to ItthoIJ A !iflp!f."s infant newly born, Whose little h imls nnronsious hol l Tho kevs of darkness nnl of mum.

A STOItV OK TUR PRESENT W A It. It had been the day for drafting in a little town in the hill country ot Connecticut. It was nightfall now, I and a man wab ed slowly home to the wife who watched and waited for him. He was a tall, handsome fellow thirty-five perhaps; vigor ous oflimb, strong ofmusclc, with kindly, but earnest eyes, with well j cut features, and an expression of I fearless integrity. You would I have known him at once for what j he wa.-, a good, unselfish, eouraI geous, honest man. worthy ot wtnj ning, capable of holding a woman's love. She who listened for his coming heard the slow step upon the gravel, and sprang from the door to meet him. You could see, even in that dim light, what a bright, cheer ry, pretty woman she was, with her loving eyes her dark hair her red, tender lip, and the fresh roses on her cheeks. She went up to her husband, and putting her hands on his arm lovingly, said: ul know you have some bail news for me, John!1' 'Yes, Mary, I must go. I was the third one drafted." The wile felt her limn shake, and ihe thought at first that he could not stand. All the forces of her nature seemed giving way, hut she rallied bravely. For his sake she would be c?.lm and strong; but she could not speak just yet. She led him into the bou?e, where

their chiklren were five of them ;

the eldest only ten in Julyjust gone.; There was something in their father s manner which i nei Keu uie noisy demonstrations with which they were ront to greet him, and thev only gave him a few silent kisses as he sat down in the great chair by the west window. He buried his face in hi hands for awhile, and then he lifted it and looked around on the little group of his beloved ones. Three boys and two girl?, and his wife, their mother, looked, in spire of care, as fair, almost as young, as on the day he brought her home, his newmade bride. His chest heaved with a long and bitter sigh a Fort of sob of despair, rather and then he said, a it he feared even she, his other self, might misunderstand him. "God knows, it is not for my own sake, Mary! I do not think 1 am afraid to die. I would go with more than willingness with joy if I had not so much to leave. If I fall, what will become of you and the children? I cannot bear to think of what you might suffer, with no one to stand between you and the cares and sorrows of the world. M ary , t h i s d ra ft i ng i nd i sc r i m i n a t e I y does not seem to be just. Surely the single men ouht to "o firt." His wife ttole her little hand into his very gently. "Do not think of us," she said, with a true woman's self-forgetful L. L - I 1 I .1. ness, "it's not that. We should do j well enough, iou need not fear that we should come to want. I3ut O.John!-" And here she broke down utterly and cried out, with n burst of passionate tears: "No, I cannot bear it! You will die! I hall never, never see you again! If i could know that you would come back, even were it maimed and helpless I would not murmur; but to think that you might die there, and I' could not help you that your eyes would seek mi up, and I not there O, John, I shall go mad with hopeless horror!" It wa? his turn to he comforter now. As he drew her to the phelfer of his arms, he rcFTj.h.er poor head on his breast; he whispered tciid"i Iv: 'All wno Hi; lit do not die, M.irv.

' 1 would if I could,' bo answered evasively, rcmemberino; in bis own mind the diliiculty that richer men than ho had experienced in procuring them in those quiet, thinly populated, agricultural towns. ! am very tired, Mary, can you give me some tea?' Cheered a little by her new hope, and anxious, above all. to cheer him nnd make him comfortable, the wife got up and went into the kitchen. The biscuits tor supper were already made, and in a tew moments tea was upon the table. John Morgan drank cup alter cup ot it, with an eager, feverish thir.-t; buteating with him a was mere feint. When the meil was over the (hildren were put to Led, all bnt the two oldest ends. Thev stole out to the . . onen door, and sat down in the September moonlight, their anus around each other, feeling with a 'sort of dumb pain, tint a shadow which thev could not resist hid come upon their household. Their i . a a mother, meantime, had lighted her lamp and taken her work-i child's (rock which phe was tinihinr to the little round stand, she would not let this evening seem more tinlike other evenings than she could help. Soon there came a footstep upon the crave! walk, this time a quick, firm tread. 1 he girls in the door made way forthe new comer to enter, 2nd he came in and stood silent ly for a moment in the centre of the little sitting room. He was a slender, elegantly moulded man. You could see at a glance tint the fibre of his manhood had never yet heen tested by any rough struggle with fate. Yet one would not have doubted his untried courage. It shone in his steady blue eyes, sad with unspoken pain; it betrayed itself in the curl of his lip, the curve of his nostrils.

tage; and even in thit sorowful I Hour mere was no dinger of his beinpj unwelcome. He was the llr?t to speak. It is hard on you, Morgan, thi draft. My father was saying tonight that he did not know how he should contrive to spare you. So well as you are doing now, too already comlort and competence for you and yours and better things in prospect." ult is useless talking. I think I was not born under a lucky star. You were. Mr. Thornycroft's son, to begin with, young, rich, without a tie to fetter you; and, ot course, the draft spared you." "Without a tie! Do vou call that happiness' John Morgan 8 eyes fell beneath that sad steady gaze of reproach. He remembered, then, one who had died in March, on whose grave the lonesome spring rain had wept tears, which sprang up again m violets the gentle girl whom Ash Thornycroft had ioved so well. "Forgive me" he said in a low penpenitent voice. The other went on: "I think you forget yourself a little when you repine at this stroke, as if it were the worst thing that could have happened. Would you give up your wife, or one of your children, even to escape from the perils of this war?' "Did you think I was a coward?" nnd the honest soul looked indignant out of John Morgan's eyes. "If I were to lall what would thev do? I have struggled to shield them, so far as I could, from want, care or privation. How are they fitted to tread the world's rough paths alone?" "No, I ihl not take vou for a coward. If I had. I should not have thought 3'our lifo worth saving. I think I know how I should feel in your plnco. It is a place in which I shall never stand; I am going to enlist, John. It is mvdutv, fori have nothing to keep me at home. I am ready to give all I have to mv country If I fall, 1 shall only go the sooner where all my longings tend. What is to hinder mv sparing vou to your happy fireside? I came to propose myself as your substitute' "It is not. are you sure it is not, to spare me? Would vou go in anv case;" John Morgan asked with a little loabt in his voice. "I)5 nr.t'lVar i am -'going for our sake. 1 i'iadi- u; my miiel us .-ooii as ? call crime for volunteers.

Left rdone with -Mrs. .Morgan, lie sail what he never would have said to her husband. It was when she thanked him, with earliest words, anl sob and tears of jov vet more eloquent. "There wrs one, Mr. Morgan, who lou! hi" as well as you love John. Von do not need to thank me. All that I could do for anvother, I woubl do for her sake. You have seen her; vou know how fair and sweet she was; but I think no one save me knows all her purity,! her saint like goodness.

If I die; in this good eauc, think of me ns' happy with an unspeakable happiness; it w ill be but opening the golden gates the sooner; I shall not see von nirain, so I w ill bid vou goodbve now." Her tears fell upon his hand her lips touched it. She whispered bro kenly her hlevdnjr; the blessing oft one who owed to him more than her life; and so. annoiuted for his work,! as u were, ny inose noiy tears an i prayers, he went away. Tin L'irls at the door saw his face in the moon-light, while yet radiant: and tender. They ran in to their mother, a-king their childlike pies-j tjon "V." hat made Mr. Thornycroft look so? Wh::t was he here for?" " Father is not going away ; Mr. Thornycroft is going in his stead. We shall keep father nt home." And then, woman like, she fell to hugging them and crying over them;; and jut then John came back, and; took the three altogether in his! strong rrms. ! It was one of the supreme moment' of life, which, whether of joy or grief, j picture themselves clearly to our, minds, and need no description. Ash Thornycroft walked away with ; a firm tread.

And he seemed to hear a voice, which said : "Go forth, my beloved, and do your work. Soon will the struggle be over, and the reward is long and sure. For an instant he seemed to see the smile upon her face, the look of faithful love in the immortal eyes. Then, when he stretched out his arms towards it, the cloud seemed to melt into the white moonlight: not even an echo of the voice tilled the September air; he was alone with the night. He went away next, day to join his regiment, one which had already seen hard service. There was in him the true mettle of a soldier. His day might be short he would be busy while it lasted. Besides, I think he liked his grim work. He was always to be found among the volunteers for any desperate service; in many a fierce charge ho led the van, with his bright, lair hair, gliUerinjr jjoldonly in the sunlight, and a blue glint in his eyes. He was never wounded nothing happened to disable him from his duty; lie had refused well earned promotion, and once, when a true comrade who marched always by his side, had asked him the reason why, he sadly answered : ' Because I shall be here such a little white." "I thought you volunteered for three years, I heard that you came in plaee of a nine month's man, but that you chose to enlist for a longer time and join an old regiment." There was no answer to the inquiring tone w hich made a question of this remark, and Stephen Chase, who understood his cor...de too well to press tho point, was as much puz-i .led r.s ever lie ':mprehended it all the belter the night before Fredericksburg. They sat together on a stone, a little way fro'u their tent. For a while both had been thinking silently of what the dawn was to bring. "It will he a tough light," Chase finally f-aid. " Vou may well say so," Ash Thoi nyeroft answert d. "It is a terrible responsibility to assume, that of leading men to such certain destruction; and yet, if we can but win the victory! There is hardlv a man but what would be willing to sell his life lor that. It is the only regret I have in goin-; in, that I shall never know which shte conquer.-." 'Nonsense, man, don't get blue after seeing so much blood spilt as you have, and coming out of so many hard bouts scariest. "It was not my time hitherto. It is now. 1 shall go into the field more joyfully than tired children over went home. I have only one wish. If you push through alive, take care "f my ho ly. I w ant to be buried at home, beside a grave that was made last March in the Wcstvilie churchyard. You must senl me to my father.David Thornyoroft, Wcstvilie, Connecticut. Here it is written down for you. Papers left at home explaining my wishes will be sufiicient for the rot." His manner carried conviction ati least of his own faith in his fore warning, but Stephen Chase tried to shake it off. "I never knew a presentiment to conic true in mv life," he said sturdily. "Vou will talk over the battlefield twenty four hours from now." Thornycroft only smiled, ns he said: "Do you promise what I ask, Stephen? Will you send my body to my father, if it is in your power to protect it V" "Yes, for your satisfaction I promise. I shall not say good bye, though."

He thanked the convention for their courtesy in inviting him to give the convention a specimen ot model teaching, but ho thought it best to spare the audience the infliction. He preferred to substitute the plan of a lady who" taught a school in London. He had heard of the success of this lady, and had written to learn the principles she operated upon. He had received an answer, and would read as follows. 1. Never to teach what you don't quite understand. 2. Never to tell a child what you could make him tell you. 3. Never to give a piece of information without asking for it again. 1. Never use a hard word if an easy one will convey your meaning; aud never use . any word at all unless you arc quite eure that it has a meaning to convey. 5. Never begin an address or a Jewca VviVliPUt P.-clTaT-icioft? end. G. Never give an uncccssary command, nor one which-you do not mean to sec obeyed. 7. Never permit any child to remain in the class for a minute without something to do, and a motive for doing it. Mr. Pardee then gave a sketch of Mr. ll 'zb tt's lecture on sabbath School Teaching as follow. The charattrifctics of children aro 1. Love of activity. A healthy child abhors quietude, and rightly so. It cannot be.ir to do nothing. ThH propensity should be trained by giving them suitable tpental occupation. Too much bodily quiet should not be demanded. This activity should be used as a motive to obedience. 2. Love of knowledge exists in all children. By his inquisitiveness the child gains knowledge, pleasure and usefulness. A child should never be put o(T when he asks a question at a proper time. 3. Susceptibility to sympathy. This draws the child to the teacher. The child carefully studies tho character of a teacher, as expressed bv the looks and bearing, and when Kvidenceü of reympathy are discovered,thc child readily peizes hold, forms an attachment to the teacher, and is alwavs readv to receive instruction. 4. Love ol imitation. The child readily becomes assimiteted to whatever it ob.-erves about it. How important tint the teacher should be a model, such as maj be safely imitated by every child. 5. Headings to receive impressions. The mind of the child is like wax to receive, hut like marble to retain. (j.Love of approbation. Children Uhould be treated as thouzh thev
