After a bright, joyous day, r

A glance which a stranger might give
I read that her j -yo had all faded,

Thus we met in life's changing vistas
Full many a shadi from the past.

'car
of 1814,
when? the" allied armies , were concen
trated about l'aris, a young LieutenaiU
of dra'gobns was eiii-aed with three or
fjur npngatiatis, tvl-o, after having re
ceived several smart, sirokes
ft otu Lis sabre, managed to send a
ball into his shouider, to pierce his
Chest with a thrust from a lance, and
to leave him for dead on the bank of i
the river.
: On the opposite side of the strenm,
a boatman and his daughter had bet .!
watching this unequal fight with tears j
of desperation.
But
what' could an
old unarmed man dj, or a pretty girl
of lo? However, .the old soldier for
such the boatman as had no sooner
seen the officer full from hi3 horse than1
he and his, daughter rowed, most vigor
ously for the other side. Then, - when
they had deposited the wounded man j
in the boat, thes worthy peoplj
crossed the river again, but with faint
hopes of reaching the military hospital
in time.

A STRANGER THERE.
At a camp meeting dwn in Tennes
see the exhorter opened the services of ,
the afternoon by loudtydemanding :
"What -hall I do to Iq saved?"
There was a deep silence among
Ids hearers, I and he again demanded :
What shall I dv to be saved ?'
Sighs and groans were freely indul
ged in, and after a painful pause the
they were lost. Then only did the
'countryman j condescend to point out
the wav, after which he walked off, as

returning to the carriage.
"Forgive me that I did not know
thee ; but I had neer seen thee be

Now the countryman, who had once

NUMBER 44
"THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME.'
It is natnrnl for vonnr people to
marry, nd, once married, to fly. from
the cJJ nest and build a new one. It
i more likely lhat those who woo tied
win and are wooed and woo b. court
try plces slip old fly farther than those
who live in great cities, where, at fur
thest, a long walk or a five-cent ride
only lies between tb&m.
But who can visit the pleasant rural
spots to which summer beats drive
every citizen who can comtnaid a
holiday, without 'feeling an emotion of
pity for the old folka who Huger on in
the homestead once filled by a large
family, where babies were born and
children played and grew, where the
g'rls budded into a knowltdge of the
city fashions and a desire to take lea
sons on the piano, . and the boy a whit
tled at the wood-work and had pillow
fights at .midnight, and forgot to drive
home the cows; and where, despite
maternal lectures and paternal flog
gings, the opinion secretly obtained
that there never were tucb wonderful
children born on earth before. We
can aee it all as we look at the old
house. How, one day, SWas, Jones
saw Kitty home from afternoon church
How mother was a little fluttered
when Kitty first entertained Silas in
the parlor all by herself, and asked
father if he remembered their old court
ing days, How Kitty was married,
and .Lilly, and May and Fanaie fol
lowed her example. . How Jack, hav
ing a cba.ice to go into a wholesale
house in New York, went off one morn
ing, half glad half sorry. How Will
took to the sea, aud ran away with a
bundle on his shoulder. How Charlie,
the pride of his parents, studied theo
logy and graduated, and 'had a call'
to some far off If'estern town. And
then Jack wrote that be was to be
married, and Charlie took a Western
wife, and Will the , mother hopes
that Will will come back some day ;
but the father know that he sailed in
the Cbjle, aud that the Clyte fate is
unknown. And they are all gone
scattered over the wide country, com
ing home less and less frequently as
years roll on. Now and then there
ia a visit, but never again will all that
household be together as in the olden
days never again. The younger ones
grow used toil; some, perhaps, quite
forgot that they ever erred, but the
old foiks sit and wait. The grsy hairs
grow grayer. The grinklss come in
to thir faces. They look wistfully at
each ather across the empty table. It
sterna all right. What could parents
wish for,, (if only Will comes back,)
asks tho mother of herself ; daughters
well married, sops well thought of
rising meu each in his walk of life.
But oh 1 how lonely they are ! Ob, to
have the house full of children again
of young people to hope for and plan
for! And the laud is so wide, journeys
so long and so expensive ! They shake
their heads. .
We can't expect them to come of
ten.' says the father.
And. I suppose,' responds the moth
er, 'that Jack is loo busy to write more
than be does.'
Ah. they make apologies for you
who grow more careless of them every
year. But I am not writing to them
but to you, who, growing busier every
year, forget so often. It is 'but a lit
tle while, only a little Afiiie, remera
ber. Don't forget them quite. Go
down to. iLc v'.J -lace when you can ;
write if you must steal hours from
sleep to do it. Show the 'old folks at
home' that your Leart it with them
still in the old homestead where they
bore life's burthen gladly, fur your
sake, in their prime. Do not let them
feel themselves deserted as they draw
nearer to tLe valley of the shadow.
