Our Little Ones.
Sailing Boats.
Both Tom and Will had equal skill
In makiug little boats and ships;
They cut away a whole half day,
Aud covered all the floor with chips.
And wheu the boys had made their toys,
They thought to put them to the Mat-
To try which boat, when sot afloat,
Would sail across a tub the best.
A Dream and A Sleep-lie
tamed round aud confronted
me. We were standing under a
gas-lamp. The light was feeble,
but quite enough to let me see the
expression of his face. There was
no auger or auuoyaoce in his eyes.
He started at me in a half wild, half-dull
way, and did not seem to ask
or care why I had touched him.—
"In ten, perhaps iu eight hours
I shaM know it I meditated spring-ing
into the Thames. It was good
you followed uie. I HID grateful to
you for your care of me. But iu
all London, iu tho whole world,
there is no man wauts to live mure
than 1 do."
'•But
I've Been Thinking.
I've been thinking, I've been thinking,
What a glorious world were this,
Did folks mind tbeir business more,
And mind their neighbors' less!
For instance, you and I, my friend,
Are sadly prone to talk
' Of matters that concern as not,
" I know what you would say—I Aml other,» >*>■*•■ mock.
Something in his aspect put me out a"> J-'"'"g a bad way about it. Let ■**• heen thinking if we'd bee-in

Hut Will and Tom, each blowing from
A different side, you may well guess.
No boats could go straight on, so
Tbey tacked about in great distress.
Such heavy gales against their sails
Uade both the boats gowkirliing round ;
The sails got wet, the boats upset,
Aud all the crew on board were drowned.

To the I'cople of Orerniburo and surrounding
Country:
Having opened in yonr midst a first-class
Watch-Making and Jewelry Store, I re-spoctfully
ask a share of your patronage.
Having served a loug apprenticeship
with one of the luost celebrated Watch

of conceit with my suicidal theorj
for him. I did not say the words"l
had arranged. His appearance for
bade me.
" I am a stranger in London. I
arrived here only this evening.—
Pardon me, but I have lost my way.
Would you be good enough io see
me right V
He continued to look at me in
the same dull, unspecnlalive man
uer. He completely disregarded
my question. '• We have met to-night
before. Did you follow me
from where I fell to the billiard-room
!'' he asked in a low, wornout
voice.
I was thuuderstricken. He had
not only seen me at the time of the
accident, but had recognized me in
the billiard room. I lost my sell
possession oomepletely, " No" I
muttered, "I did not follow you
from n here you fell to the billiartl-room."
•' That is strange,'- he mused,
"very strange! What a coinci-dence
! But did you follow me from
the billiard-room to this V

" Why P
"I beard you mutter something
about to morrow never coming, and

"WhatI"
" Well, your manner—pray ex
I cuse me—seemed a little excited;
| and I feared that perhaps you
j might"—I waved my band in the
! direction of the river.
To my profound astonishment, I
may say horror, he burst out into
a hysterical laugh, leaned against
tue parapel of the bridge, ami stir
veyed me with a hall amused, half-pitying
look. After a moment he
1 shook himself; regarded me fixed-
I lived or staved;
answered, said,
that pass. There Is no other way. ' To n,i„d our own affair.,

Charlie and the Cakes ;—Or
Learn to Fear-
A little boy and girl, brother and
sister, were playing in the dining-room,
where tbeir mother had set a
basket of cakes on the tea-table aud
then had gone ont.
" How nice they look!" said
Charlie, reaching out his hand to
take one ot the cakes.
" Oh, don't do that, Charlie,"
said his sister J.ine, "you know
mother told us not to take any of
them."
" But moiher didn't count them ;
and she won't know if I take just
oue," said Charlie.
'•But remember, Charlie, that
God counts,"' said his sister, "and
lie will know."
Charlie put back the cake and
turned away Horn the temptation,
looking very serious. Presently he
said, "Yon are right, sister; God
does count; for the Bible says,
'He i el lei h the number of the star's;'
and, ' The hairs of your head are
all numbered.'"
One day a lady came home from
shopping. Her little boy didn't
seem to meet her aud throw his
arms around her neck, as he was in
the habit of doing to show bow | Jy asked me where
glad be was to have her come homo | H,„i wi,en I had

I haven't the least idea
way we went. We made many
turnings, and I grew gradually to
feel that we were penetrating the
better portion of Loudon. Lights
shone over the doors, and music
came from the drawing-rooms, aud
more than onceu 1 caught glimpses

" It's the music they like the

" And those grasshoppers; they
can't go home without grinding

" O, they are so happy they can't
help it!" said the mouse.
" You find excuses for all. I
believe you don't understand music,
so you like the hideous noises."
" Well, friend, to be honest with
you," said the mouse, " I don't
greatly admire any of them ; but
they are all sweet iu my ears com-pared
with the constant croaking

A little boy held a sixpence near
his eye ami said : " O, mother! it

when he drew it still nearer, he
exclaimed ; ■' Oh, mother! it is
bigger thau all outdoors!" And
just in that way the worlding hides
God, and Christ, and .judgment,
entirely from view, behind some
paltry pleasure, some trifling joy,
or some small possession which

A little girl came into our house
one day, and some apple-parings
lay on a plate on the table. After
sitting a little while, she said : " I
smell apples." " Yes," I replied,
"I guess you smell those apple
parings ou the plate." " So, no,"
said she, " 'taint tbem I smell; 1
smell whole apple.-.."
Weariness can snore ujiou the

Frank sincerity, though no in-vited
guest, is free to all, and brings
his welcome with him.
Prosperity seems to be scarcely
safe unless it be mixed with a little
adversity.
Truth is the shortest and nearest

iu a straight line.
The imagination is of so delicate
a texture that even words wound it.
while carriages wailed without. 1
wus ou the point ot asking him il
he were quite sure he had noi been
deceived by the fog, when he Stop-ped
before a large house iu a square,
and knock.
'• I did not know this place," J
said.
"But 1 do. You need not be
afraid. Do I look like a decoy V
The door was opened by a porter,
and we entered a spacious hall,
I lighted by a huge gaaolier of dull
! amber glass. Passing through the
j hall, we went into another ami nar-rower
one ; out of this we passed
into a dark passage of cousiderable
length, and, finally, into a small,
low room. Prom ceiling to floor
hung amber silk cut tains, and be-tween
I hem stood vast mirrors.—
There were only one small table and
two chairs. Along three sides of
the chamber ran low couches cov-ered
with amber velvet. A dull
yellow Turkey carpet covered the
floor, aud overhead hung a single
Uoatiug wick. Ou the mantlepiece
there was nothing but pipes and a
pair of oltl Hint pistols curiously
wrought and glittering with dia-monds
and rubies in the dim golden
I light.
He motioned me to one of ilie
chairs. "Take a seat.'" be said,
moving his hand Io a silver gong
that stood on the table and sinking
into the luxurious easy chair, " you
will have something 1 What shall
it be '■ This is my place, or, rather,
yours, for the present."'
"Thank jou, nothing for me.—
But you need refreshment, and it I
may presume to saj so, sleep still
more "
" I have neither eaten nor slept
for forty-eight hours, and 1 think I
must have walked a hundred miles
iu that time."
I uttered an exclamation of sur-prise
and looked closely at him.—
He was a young man, nor more
thau uine-and twenty, or thirty at
most, but looking much older under
tho influence of extreme physical
exhaustion, nis face was Bushed
and hectic, and his eyes were dim
and bloodshot. His figure was
slender, almost to emaciation, and
deep lines marked the face, speak
iug ol premature care or sorrow—I
could not tell which.
He did not heed my exclamation,
but went on ; " You thought I was
asleep in the billiard room I was
not. Forty-eight hours ago I awoke
out of a dream, aud I have not dared
to sleep since."
" Was it so terrible :
"Terrible! terrible! No. It was
so good, so bealiog, SO heaven sent,
that I durst not sleep lest I should
get the lie."
" But yon will kill yourself. You
must sleep."
" What o'clock is it P
" A quarter past twelve.
If it
shall sleep."
"Aud il it be bad T
ne knit his brow and clenched
his hands and then said with a
strange laugh, " I shall sleep all
the same."
"I will stay if I may."
" Good. Theu you slit
dream.''
He lit a pipe, lay back in his
chair, ami began in a low, strained
voice, like one who listens to words
Which have tiavelcd from a dis-tance
and repeats them as they
come.
" I neeu go no further into the
past than to tell you that five years
ago my lather was living and I was
his third son. At that time I fell
i» love. I will trouble you with no
rhapsodies. It was returned fully
Mid freely; but I was too poor.—
Her father would uot hear of it,
ami in less than a year my—she
was compelled—coin'irelled by all
and every means that a tyrannical
lather and pliant mother could de-vise,
to marry a rich Jamaica mer
chain, a widower, a man nearlv
three times her age. Since theu I
have neither seen her nor heard of
her. Within twelve months ot her
marriage my two elder brothers
were drowned while yatchiug in
the -Mediterranean, and I became
heir. My father never recovered
the shock of their death, aud in a
few months more he followed them
to the grave. The very day my
poor father was buried I left Eng-land,
and from that hour till now I
have spent but three days in this
country. I arrived here three days
ago. I was worn out with travel,
! and retired early. I had not been
•imie than an hour asleep when I
awoke bathed from head to foot in
a cold perspiration. I was trem-bliog
in every limb. I had dreamed
that I was standing oo the deck of
an Atlantic steamer, aud there
came toward me a figure draped in
black. 1 shrank back in inexpli-cable
dread. I strove to fly, but
my feet were like lead. I grasped
the bulwark for support. The figure
approached nearer, it was that of
a woman iu widow's weeds. The
veil was dowu, but I seemed to feel
the the lace. Slowly, and wheu the
figure was no farther from me than
of the |tue t»ble UP"» which my baud rests,
the veil was raised, aud I saw hei
lace. With a shriek I awoke.—
That was my dream. What o'clock
is it ?"
" llali past twelve."
"How wearily long the miuutes
arc. You are sure your watch is
goiug'."
" Yes."
" I durst not go to Oueeustown
myself. There is a boat due iu the
morning. I have a trusty man wait-ing.
I .shall have a telegram nheu
the boat arrives. When that tele-gram
coiiies I .shall sleep. But yon
are worn out. Lie down, and I will
sit and watch."
I protested ; but he overruled me.
He placed some cushions ou a couch.
and throwing a rug over me, said
, be would utter no other word until
! the day hud come aud brought the
III-US.
I resolved not to close my eyes;
but I had come a long journey that
day, and was completely worn out.
Gradually tho warmth aud the
silence overcame me, aud I sauk
into unconsciousness.
I was aroused by a knock at the
door. 1 looked across the room.—
lie was silting in precisely the
same position as I had last seen
him. ilt- saw me move, and asked:
'• Arc you awake P
'• Yes."
" Woultl you be good euough to
take that telegram from the servantf
I don't want him to come in.*'
I went to the door as he had re-quested.
I closed the door.
" Now," said he, draw back that
curtain and read that telegram."
I drew back the curtaiu. It was
a black, bitter November, dawn.—
I broke the envelope, and read out:
•' The widow of the late Mr.
.lames Stoptorth has arrived by the
City of Sew York.
1 looked hastily towards the
chair. He had not moved. I spoke.
He did not answer. I crossed the
loom and stood over him. His eyes
were fixed. I rushed to the door,
tote il opeu, called loudly for help
and then came and opened the scarf
and dialed the hands. Water was
brought and we dashed it over him
ami in less thau ten minutes the
doctor was in the room.
Por a few miuutes the doctor did
uot say a woid. At length he
turned to me, aud asked, " How
dul this happen ?"'
•• He has beeu dreadfully excited
and has not eaten or slept for forty-eight
hours or more. He has been
walking nearly the whole time.—
Will he uot be well wheu he has
slept :"
The doctor dropped the wrist.
•• He said," I volunteered, seeing
the doctor pause, " he would sleep
to-day."
" He was right," returned the
doctor.
•• He was right. Oraw back the
curtains, l.i-r iu the light. He is
sleeping now "
•• You dou't mean to sav he is
dead P
" He is dead."
It may be so with others-
It would seem strange if it were not,
Sinco all mankind are brothers.
Oh! would that we had charity
For every man and woman ;
Forgiveness is the mark of tbose
With whom " to err is human."
Theu let us banish jealousy—
Let's lift our fallen brother;
And as we journey down life's road,
Do good to one another.
