And from grove and \ale Buch dulcet music flows, Each bird might be a nightingale And livery llowtr a rose. So, in the earth beneath our feet, In aikies übove us benr, In lonely path, or crowded street, God teaches us content. Then why, my soal, shouldst thou repine, Though* poor thy gifts, ancl small, And few the bhssings tliftt are thine? 4 His love is in them all.

Til have to take the whipping.' T There was a dejected thrill in (he sad child-vo}te. telling alike of the physical dread and of utter hopelessness of spirit. 'Wait a minute, liobbie,' answered a cheerier tone. 'Wait until I look under the hay-bed. A llnfeh-pin's little you know, and it might roll. I can't boar to give up yet.' And as the girl spoko she swung her lantern under the huge ve» hiclc, aud stopping began to search carefully nmong the loose chaff and wisps oj bay scattered over the door. The scene was ou the threshing-floor of a 1 large barn with great mows frown* ing darkly above on either hand, aud vast granarios stretching away in the real, and the speakers were a little orphan boy who had lost a linch-pin, and the sympathetic kitchen girl of the farm. As the latter rose from her fruit* loss search the bright glow oi the lantern tell lull upon her, revealing a face, not pretty, certainly, if viewed fiom a cul tivated, artistic standpoint, but fresh and girlish, and jnst now, glorified by a halo of womanly pity. 'Oh, ItobbieM'm so sorty'she said, rising. 'Cau'l you think where you had it last?' •No Sue, I can't. I've tried and tried I l'eckon old Beeson will nearly kill me —he did the la9t time,' Then with a Shudder, throwing his childish arms around her waist, 'Oh, Sue, bo's awful.' 'Poor baby I'cried the girl, clasping him closer, while her seft, f ray eyes fill ed with tears. 'I wish I could save you. How did you ever come to he left with him, anyhow?' 'WIm you see,' was the reply,'whon mother died there was only me and Chris, and Chris ain't like mo. lie's strong and swart, aud afraid of nobody. So he thought he would go away and make a fortune for us both. His name js Christopher—like Christopher Colum bus, you know—and he meant to do some great thing too. Not in a ship, I bough, but in a big city, lie bad read of poor boys makiug money there, aud as.the homestead was goue he was bound to try it. And then old Beeson oflercd to keep me wliilobe was away. But Chris, never meaut for me to be I heard himjwjyhat I was go to school, and be treated, and that ho would pay for uif-board and ex penses when ho came bask. But 1 reckon he'll nerer come, now.' And thd poor child's tears fell fist at (be thought. 'Ob, mavbe he will,' answered the girl, soothingly. 'We'll hope so any way.' 'Well may, maybe,' he assented drearily. 'But, O Sue, if I were only of age, like yon, wouldn't Igo to seek him!' Then, as if with a sudden thought, ■Hue what makes you stay? You were of age six months ago.' 'I know.' she ssid and paused as if the question was an unsettled one with her* self, then, with the light still upon ber brow, 'partly for your sake, maybe, Bobbie, aud partly because 1 don't know where to go. I don't mind working, and I mast do that in any place. Be sides it is better for mo; £m in the GRAHA.M, N. C„ " MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 1881. house with Mis&is, anil Robbie, site isn't like him. Many a piece of bread and meat 6he gives to the hungry beg gars, and many a puor tramp she allows to sleep in the barn when ho ain't around.' , The last clause was unfortunate for • the boy, clinging yet closer, oast shud dcring glance npward toward the great mows where the shadows were scarcely distill bod by lMr ieeble glow ot lighti •Oh, Sue !• be ciiod wildly. 'What it, •ho should make me stay nil night in the j baru? He lias to many a! time. Oh, Sue, what cai\wedo?«. | The poor excited boy sauk down in j despair, ' ' vVe might pray,' said Sue, timidly.) 'i'shaw! lie prays.' There was a whole volume of incipient skepticism lir these throe bitfer words. 'I know,' answered Width, sorely puz zled, yet clinging to her anchor. '1 know, but it doh't sound like the prayeft I used to hear at the asylum. These i they spoke to some one close at hand, so gentle, so loving, and yet so mighty. 4 0h, llcbbie, now 1 just remember the words, so .'strong Id deliver.'. Who knows but Ho might save you. There was the man in the deu of lions, and the three cbildron in the flery furnace.' 'lt's us use, Sue,' he answered sadly« 'There's no deliverer for me but Chris, and he'll never come now. Go on- to the bouse and tell the old man that I caii't find it. It's as wcil to get it ov er.' 'Poor lamb! ; saiJ the tender-hcarled girl, kissing the quivering lips that were trying so hard to be brave. 'l'll leave the light, and I'll beg hard for you.' And repressing a sigh over the hopeless ness of her task, she glided iuto the starlight, leaving the poor little victim to await a cruelty which, considering tho centuries ot Christian progress that have elapsed since the slaughter of the innocents, not only out-lierods Ilerod, but is one of the durkeSt blots upeu our social scale. Juat hero must I pause to offjr a plea lor the children, the most defenceless objects in all God's creation. We sigh over the miseries of podr Smike, over lit tle David Coppeiileld's sorrowful journ-. ey; alas! that inagio hand which so moyed us has vanished forever, but Icau match tlieSe thrilling narratives with true stories of a child rendered idiotic by continued cruelty, and of a little fugi tive bouud boy who, after Weary days of hunger and"travel, sank blistered and fainting at bis mother's feet. I can tell ot a woman—think of it—a woman I who, for some childish fault committed during the day, followed an orphan boy to his bod with a horsewhip, and then, when there was no protection 3avo the littlo thin nighl gatment, broke upon his nocent slumber with slinging blows. Aud, upon tho evidence of the laundry girl, when the same little garment came to the wash, it was striped with blood. This is uot pleasant reading. It is far from being pleasant writing. •A lather to the fatherless is God in his holy habitation!' Think of this, O mother, whoso household contains one ot these children of the Highest. Think of it as you gather your little ones around the glowing fireside for song or story, and make room lor the stranger within your doors. Whcu you divide the hoarded store ot cakes or apples, remem ber that his own little milk teeth arc as eager tor sweets as your own darling's, aud be there much or little, give bim a share. When your hand is laid caress ingly upon your own children's heads, let its light pressuro also touch his youujf brow. Who kuows'but it may bo there like a consecrating chrism, annointing him for noble deeds for God aud humani ty? Do these things, and do them now. Cbe;k not your kindly impulses until it is 100 late, until tho. thiu bands are crossed within the coffin, and the sad eyes— hungry lor a motor's kiss—have gone to tell their pitiful story to Him who said, 'Suffer the childcpn;' or worse, until a young soul shall have grown hardened; and a little one, offend ed by you, shall have become a curse and clogging millstono upon the neck of society. But to return to my story. Left alone in the great baru the sensitive child en dured the two-fold agony of nervous terror and anticipated suffering. But he had not long to wait. Soon tb{ heavy boo&of old Beeson were beard *ramp~ lug across the cow-yard into the barn Robbie stole one fugitive glance as be entered, saw the bard-set face, saw the long black whip trailing from his hand, and the last vestige of hope was gone. 'Now, you yoaug rascal, I'll pay you ior your carelessness,' cried the bitter master,' as he caught sight ot the cower ing form; aud seizing the trembling boy by the arm, he raised the whip like a great stiffening serpent, high in the air. But why did it not descenid? The boy, who had closed his eyes, and sot his teeth hunl, womleivd at the delay. Frdm some where above came a rushing sound, and tho cruel, uplifted arin was grasped and held with a grip ol iron. What could it mean? Ilud God sent one 1 of his mighty angels down to rescue the little w-dif, too hopeless to imploro Jiis protec tion? It well might be so, lor our Fath er is not indifferent-io" the troubles of : Uis suffering children;'but the ey»s of j his glorious deliverer wfiio gleaming I wilb to» nutoh indignant fury and hu | man psssion for those of a huavetilv f visitant. 4 Uhris' 'Ttio ono glad cry burst lrom 1 Robbie's lips, aud then, unnoticed by either, bo saiik sobbing among the lmy and straw littering; the floor. 4 Coward! hypocrite] traitorP Those were the words which burst impetuous* ly from tho young man's lips, and with i each epithet a ' stunning blow was planted in the breast of tho farmer. 4 ls it thus ypu Meat (be little brother I en trusted to your care. Were it uot that Bluco I have beeu away lrom your viciui ty, I have learned to be something of which you do not oven know the meau iug—a gentleman—l would take ihe horsewhip and flay you wilhiu an inch ot your life. Well, indeed, It occurrod to mo to test your faithfulness in treat ing him kindly before I gave of earnings tor |lbe boy'l board. Here in my pockets are lorn* hundred i dollars designed for you—payment for every week he bas been here—but not one copper of it will you see now. Ou tbo contrary, I4thv!l use it to prosecute you to the utter limit of tlie law,' Aud he kept his word. This youth, whose.energy aud pluck bad won the victory in a hand-to-hand struggle with Ihe world, was not likely to be troubled with morbid pity for his adversary; aud with Sue's fair, houesl face ou the .wit* ness-bpx, not only was the full measure of justico obtained, but the liferd, grasp ing farmer was disgraced forever in the eyo of his, friends and neighbors. Aside from the triumph concerning his little brother, the trial resulted most happily for Chris, himself. While Book ing to redress an injustice and ;a wrong, like hia illustrious uamesake, he discov ered another fair realm —even the rweet old Eldorado of love. And now, when the western sun sinks amid (he flowery prairies ot Missouri, bis last beams gild a cottage porcb, where often sits a slender studeut youth acd a broad shouldered, bronze-face pioneer—the rescuer and the rescued; whi e above them beams the soft, womanly face ot happy Sue—wire aud sister—loved and honored beyond all Ihe world. Pay as Yon Go. Tho host of all rules to be successful' aud make both ends meet, is 4 Pay as you go. 4 Beyond jill countries in the world, ours is the one in which the credit sys tem is most used and abused. A family cau live respectably on a moderate in come, if thoy always take (be cash in hand aud buy where tbey can buy to the best advantage. They must be careful first to get what is necessary. Extra comforts will be had, if t they can aflord liiein. But it is a bad policy to buy on a credit. No wise dealer sells so cheaply on credit as for cash. The dross ot a family is so much a matter ot tasto that it need hardly be said it is just as easy to be respectable in clothing that costs a little as in that which is expensive. To "dress according to one's means is the ouly respectable style. ■' . One must have a homo, and in every place there are dwellings suited to the ability of Ihe purchaser. When the rent, the tood aud the clothing are kept wilhs in one's income the tnargiu for benevo lence, for luxury aud for pleasure, may be measured and used. In these, as in o'ber matters, 4 r«y ai you go,'— JSural J Messenger. An English Idea. Speaking of his visit to England last year, John T. Raymond recently said at\ a Loudon dinner party, tbe lady he esJ coiled to the table said to bim in a very earnest voice: 4 Mr. Raymond, are you really ap American? You are not In the least like my idea ot one.' j ■ 'I am an American, but not au abori ginal,' responded he. 'An aboriginal I You mean an Indian. That reminds me to ask if you have much trouble with tbe Indians in >'ew York? 4 'No, we have got them pretty well un der, there,* was. the reply. 4 And they are—de they dress as you do?* 'Ob, yes; in New York city tbey are great snobs, but at Niagara Falls they run about iu (be simplicity of nothing ness.'

The Wife. \ ; A judicious wile is always nipping' off from ber husband's uiorai nature little twigs that are growing fn wrong dime* tious. She keeps him in shape by eons ! tiuntil pruning. If you say anything silly, will affectionately 4eil you eo. If you declare that you will do some ab surd thing, she will find some means of preventing you from doing It. And by tar the chief part of all tbe common j sense there isiu this world belongs uns questionably to women. Tbe wiseet things a man commonly does are those which hit wife counsels him to do. A wife Is a grand wielder ot tbe moral pruning-knife. If Johnson's wife bad lived, there would have been no board ing up ot orange pee), no touohing tbe posts in walkiug along tbe streets, no I eating and drinking with disgusting vos ] racily. If Oliver Goldsmith had been I married, he never would have worn that memorable and ridiculous coat. When ever you find a. man whom you know lit tle about oddly dressed or talking ab surdly vou may be sure that be it not' e, married man, tor the corners are round est off—the little shoots pared away—in married men. Wives have-generally much more sense than their husbands, even though they may be clever mei\, The wife'a advice is like tbe ballast that keeps tbe ship steady. -Buskin. am. 25.
