THE LIGHT AT HOME. 
Thb light at home, how bright it beams 
When evening shades around us fall; 
And from the lattice far it gleams, 
To love, and rest, and comfort call. 
When wearied with the toils of day, 
And strife for glory, gold or fame, 
How sweet to seek the quiet way, 
Where loving lips will lisp our name, 
Around the light at home. 
When through the dark and stormy night,. 
The wayward wanderer homewsrd hies, 
How cheering is that twinkling light, 
Which through the forest gloom he spies. 
It is the light at home ; he feels 
That loving hearts will greet him there, 
And softly through his bosom steals 
The joy and love that banish care 
Around the light at home. 
The light at home, whene’er at last 
It greets the seaman through the storm ; 
He feels no more the chiling blast 
That beats upon his manly form. 
Long years upon the sea have fled, 
Since Mary gave her parting kiss, 
But the sad tears which then she shed 
Will now be paid with rapturous bliss, 
Around the light at home. < 
The light of home ! how still and sweet 
It peeps from yonder cottage door— 
The weary laborer to greet 
When the rough toils of day are o’er. 
Sad is the soul that does not know 
The blessings that the beams impart, 
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow, 
And lighten up the heaviest heart 
Around the light at home.

“You are young,” he said, “and have plenty

make up your mind to obtain a thorough edu¬

hereafter, you need such an education ; it will

only be imagined, as they soon relapsed into 
silence, as indeed the greater part of the pas¬

the view out of the windows, and left them to

A STOItY OF LIFE’S ENDEAVOR. 
BY E. 0. HUNTINGTON. 
■[Continued from last number.] 
When the evening meal was over, Fredeeio, 
at Mr. Howard’s request, gave him an account 
of his life since his father’s death, and when 
he mentioned his disappointment in not obtain¬ 
ing a situation with Mr. Grant, so that he 
might have been with his mother, Mr. Howard 
said, “ We don’t know what is the best for us, 
my boy. I have lived to learn that the good 
Lord manages the world very well, and though 
things don’t always work just to suit us, he 
brings them all out right in the end,—all right 
in the end,” he repeated, stroking the golden 
head of little Mary, who was nestling in his 
arms. “You shall stay with us here, and be a 
brother to my little Mary, and if you are such 
a lad as I hope to find you, we shall have plen¬ 
ty of work lor you in the store. And now, 
mother, thee had better get the Bible, for the 
, tired and will be glad to go to bed.” 
year; more than that I will not promise, 
of your education will be to learn to rely upon 
yourseif. Count the cost, and then strike out 
boldly.” 
And Frederic did count the cost; and deter¬ 
mined to try for the education at all hazards.— 
He wrote to his mother, who heartily approved 
of the plan ; so he ma' e immediate prepara¬ 
tions to return home for a short visit before 
starting. He bade Mr. Howard and his wife 
an affectionate good-bye, and the former said to 
him, as he put into his hand the money for his 
first year's expenses—“Remember, my boy, 
although I wish you to rely upon yourself, yet 
if ever, from sickness or any other cause, you 
are in trouble, and need assistance, do not hes¬ 
itate to write to me for aid. I assure you it 
will be freely given ’—and with a hearty “ God I new 
bless you” he left him. 
It was nearly a year from the day on which 
Frederic left his home when he again passed 
througn the little gate and softly opened the 
door. There, by the little round table, sat his 
mother, her hands clasped upon her open Bible, 
her eyes shut, and a quiet, happy smile resting 
upon her face. “ Mother,” said lie, very gently 
—in a moment more he was folded close in her 
arms, and tears of joy and pride were poured 
upon him, as she called him “her darling child 
—her noble boy.” When the first transport of 
meeting was over, Frederic had time to see 
that the anxious, care-worn expression had in a 
great measure left his mother’s face, and it wore 
instead a look of calm content. It made him 
very happy to see this, and the few days he 
spent at home were of almrst unalloyed happi¬ 
ness. By the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Hotv- 
ard, he had been provided with a bountiful 
outfit, so that even a mother’s thoughtful care 
found little of need to supply. 
The last evening at home was a sad one to 
both mother and sod, for a few more hours 
would place many miles between them, and 
one was growing old and feeble—who could 
tell if they should ever look upon each other’s 
living faces again ? I need not tell you of the 
parting—this life is full of such scenes, tearful 
yet hopeful—one with full bounding pulses go¬ 
ing forih to the battle, and another watching 
tearfully by the hearthstone, yet bidding the 
loved “ God speed.” It is well. Oh, how well, 
that we fuess at the future only by its dim 
shadows cast uncertainly before—else how full 
of bitterness were some of earth’s farewells I 
As Frederic took his seat in the cars that 
were to convey him to the college town of A—, 
he noticed, directly in front of him, two fash

good, and thy tender mercies are over all the “He you, ok, i was n 
works of thy hands.” The next morning he 
wrote to his mother.of the good success that had 
attended him, and described in glowing teims 
the good merchant and his wife, and did not 
forget even Mary, the little household pet. No 
definite remuneration had been fixed upon by 
Mr. Howard. Frederic was to have his board 
and clothing and be in every respect treated as 
a son in the family, and at the end of the year, 
whatever salary he might fairly merit without 
overtasking his strength, was to be paid to him. 
“ That is the best arrangement I can make for 
you,” said he, “and the Lord judge between 
me and thee, if I deal not justly v> ith the fath¬ 
erless, and him that hath no helper.” 
you, joe, it was rich to see the look 
Ned put on when old Whiting asked him it he 
kpew who could have stolen his melons. ‘I 
hope, sir,’ said he, ‘ you would not do me the 
injustice to think either me or my friends capa¬ 
ble of such a meanness ?’ and so completely 
gulled the old fellow that he ask-d his pardon, 
which Ned, with some hesitation, and a show 
of injured innocence, granted, and then retreat¬ 
ed to his room, where we boys ate the melons 
right over Whiting’s head. Just so with all his 
fruit, and he actually got us to watch lor the 
thieves. Of course there was nothing stolen 
that night; but we made up for it the next.” 
Frederic’s heart burned with indignation as 
he listened to this narration, and a glance at an 
reached A— , and discharged its crowd of 
passengers amid a still greater crowd of porters, 
coachman, beggars, louDgers, and such nonde¬ 
script personages as always inlest railway sta¬ 
tions and steamboat landings. In half an hour 
more Frederic was alone in a pleasant little 
room at a hotel, trying to compose his brain from 
the strange whirl of contused scenes that were 
dancing through it. Sleep came at last and 
quieted both mind and body so effectually that 
the sun next morning, after two hours shining, 
looked in at his window and found him just 
awakened 
Frederic lost no time in presenting himself 
for admission, and after sustaining a very cred 
itable examination, entered as a regular mem¬ 
ber of the College class. Once settled in his 
home he determined not to rely upon the 
provision Mr. Howard had made for him and 
spend his first year in idleness, but to look out 
immediately for some employment that would 
not greatly interfere with his studies. A gen¬ 
tlemen one day mentioned in his hearing that 
a friend of his, who was Teller in the City 
Bank, wished to employ some one to assist him 
part of the time, but as it was a place of great 
trust he was afraid to engage any one who had 
yet applied. Frederic had obtained a letter of 
recommendation from Mr. Howard before leav 
inghome, and he immediately resolved to try to i scorn 
obtain the place. He found another applicant 
already waiting in the office of the Teller, Mr, 
Marks. The first glance at his face awakened 
a vague remembrance, which presently became 
distinct, as he recognized in him his former 
traveling companion who had so freely narrated 
his successful fruit-stealiDg. An old man sat 
by the window examining some bills by means 
of a detector, but his face was turned away from 
them. Frederic presented his letter, as also 
did the other young man, who was highly re 
commended, and it was soon evident that Mr 
Marks was inclined to favor the latter. “You 
are a mere lad,” he said to Frederic, “and 
stranger in the city, while this young man 
comes to me recommended by my friend, Mr 
Whiting, in whose family he has been for 
long time, and I think I shall be obliged to give 
him the preference.” 
Frederic was disappointed, but this was not 
the strongest feeliDg. He remembered the 
boasts the young man had made in regard to 
the deception he had practiced upon Mr. Whi¬ 
ting, and knew that such an one as he had avow¬ 
ed himself was not fit for any responsible post. 
Yet how should be inform Mr. Marks of it ?— 
While he was hesitating, the old gentleman 
turned around from his table and asked in a 
familiar tone,“Who is that'that comes from 
friend Whiting’s ?” Both the young men turn¬ 
ed at the sound of his voice, and both at the 
same moment recognized Dr. Armstrong —the 
one with feelings of relief, the other with shame 
and confusion. • 
The recognition was mutual, and as he fixed 
his eyes upon the young boaster, he wisely 
took his hat and rushed hastily from the office, 
to the great astonishment of Mr. Marks, who 
cast inquiring looks first at the Doctor and then 
at Frederic. “ That fellow,” said the Doctor, 
a jg ripening into a villain fast. I could tell 
my friend Whiting that which would make 
him chary of giving letters of recommendation. 
I have seen him before, and this lad, too, and 
from the library. Frederic merely glanced up 
from his book and replied that he was other¬ 
wise occupied, and had no occasion to visit the 
library just then. « But I tell you to bring me 
the book,” repeated Smith, raising his voice. 
“And I tell you, as I told you before, that I 
am very pleasantly engaged, and have no call 
to visit the library at present,” was the cool 
rejoinder. 
A group of students had gathered around to 
see how the contest would end, and the aDgry 
Smith could not endure that his authority 
should be disputed by a boy. He reddened 
with rage and mortification, and in an imperious 
tone demanded of Frederic if he knew who 
he was, and who he was talking to. “Yes, 
said Fred, layiDg down his book and surveying 
his questioner from head to foot, “ you are Mar¬ 
tin Smith, Senior, No. 5, first floor, second door 
to the left—and I am Frederic Lathrop, Fresh¬ 
man, just arrived, but not to be bullied into 
obedience to the commands of any self-ap¬ 
pointed dignitary whatever,” and the book was 
again resumed amid the cheers of the surround¬ 
ing group. 
Smith’s anger knew no bounds. “ I tell you 
what, Miss Lilly Lathrop, you’ll repent the 
day you ever insulted me.” 
“I intended no insult, sir,” said Frederic 
calmly ; “ only a plain statement of facts, which 
you will find, as usual, * stubborn things' ’’ 
“How did you feel, Fred, asked his room¬ 
mate afterwards, when that great fellow raved 
around there ?” 
“ As I always feel when with an angry man 
immeasurably above him. My soul lifted itself 
clear out of his atmosphere, and looked down 
upon his poor, chafing temper with pity and

motber as his employer, so completely had he V absorbed m hts newspaper, showed h,m that 
m 1 he was not the only auditor. Soon after, as the 
won his confidence, and he entered upon his 
new duties with perfect satisfaction. He was 
determined that no effort should be omitted 
which would please Mr. Howard, and he ap¬ 
plied Himself to his work with energy. In a 
few days he showed that he was a quick ac¬ 
countant, and his employer took him from the 
salesroom and placed him at the desk, to assist 
in writing up the books. This change of occu¬ 
pation pleased Frederic much, especially as it 
left, him free during the evening. He had now 
much time to devote to reading and study, and 
the extensive library of Mr. Howard, to which 
he had free access, afforded ample material for 
both. Mr. Howard did not fail to encourage 
him in these efforts at self-improvement, and 
train, which was unusually crowded, stopped at 
a way station, an aged woman entered the car, 
and maae her way with some difficulty up the 
passage way. No one seemed disposed to no¬ 
tice her until a sneering remark from one of the 
young men in front of him called Frederic’s at¬ 
tention to her. He immediately rose and bow¬ 
ing respectfully conducted her to his own seat, 
and then stood at a little distance. At the next 
station she rose to leave, and he assisted her 
from the car, and then resumed his seat. The 
young man remarked to his companion in a 
tone designed for Frederic’s ear, that he thought 
him a fool for his trouble, to bother himself 
about an old granny ; but the old gentleman, 
evebibg-aa pWn t ,y passed by ^2Z. 
many a 
the family group, while Frederic read aloud to 
t\em, or assisted by Mr. Howard gathered 
treasures of knowledge from some scientific 
work. 
One evening, after Frederic had left them for 
his own room, Mr. Howard sat for some time in 
silent thought, and then said—“That boy will 
make his mark upon the world yet, if he lives. 
He must complete his education—he must go 
through college. I shall tell him so; he will 
do it if he undertakes.” 
« Thee will help him, will thee not, father ?” 
said tne gentle wife ; “ he is but a slender lad, 
and we Gave enough and to spare.” 
« I shall help him, mother, if he helps him- 
upon him, said—“ Thou shaltrise up before the 
old man, and reverence the hoary head. A 
young man that can treat the aged with disre¬ 
spect is not far from ruin/’ Then turning to 
Frederic, he said—“You are a stranger to me, 
young man, but I honor you for your conduct, 
and feel sure that you are worthy of confidence 
and respect. Never let the jeers of brainless 
fops or unprincipled men move you from the 
respect old age should always receive from 
youth.” 
The young men were silent, and the old 
gentleman again took up his paper and seemed 
perfectly unconscious of their presence. As 
they stopped at a large town about midway on 
, • . .v. , , t.hp route, he rose to leave the train,bowing as 
rpU- if he is ever good for anything he must tneiouie, uo , &

strong be grows with the labor. 
Accordingly the merchant took the first fa- . . . , 
yorable opportunity to converse with Frederic Ibe two hopeful se.o.s euchauged very e* 
v 1 , pressive glances, and one of them muttered in 
upon the subject 1 6 
let me advise you, friend Marks, to give this 
boy a trial.” 
«I certainly place a high value upon your 
opinion, Doctor ; but do you know anything of 
John Howard, merchant, the writer of this 
letter.” 
I know him well by reputation as an up¬ 
right man, and one that fears God. 
The result of the whole matter was that 
Frederic was accepted as an assistant with a 
very liberal salary, and soon gained the esteem 
and confidence of Mr. Marks. 
In following him through his course of study 
I can only give a few incidents, and leave the 
rest to my reader’s fancy,for “time and chance 
happeneth to all.” “What do you think, Fred,” 
said his room-mate to him one day, “of this 
custom of requiring Freshmen to wait upon the 
Seniors ? I declare it makes my blood boil to 
be ordered about by that insulting Smith, but 
I don’t see how we can help ourselves.” 
I intend,” said Frederic," to show the same 
respect to all without any consideration of po 
sition. If I can oblige a fellow student, Senior 
or Freshman, I shall be happy to do so, but no 
man will make me his lackey. I will do any 
thing right and reasonable to accommodate 
others, but I will acknowledge no commands 
from those not lawfully in authority over me, 
“ But, Fred, you cannot carry this out; all 
the rest of the students will join against you, 
and you will have to give up in the end.” 
“ We shall seel' was the quiet answer. 
But a few days after this, as a number of the 
students were strolling about the College 
grounds, enjoying the autumn sunshine, an op¬ 
portunity was afforded Frederic of testing his 
resolution. One of the Seniors was a coarse, 
burly fellow named Smith, whose special de¬ 
light it was to tyrannize over the younger stu¬ 
dents. He had already bestowed upon Fred¬ 
eric the title of “ Miss Lathrop,” in allusion to 
his delicate features, and soft, womanly com¬ 
plexion. Now, as he spied him reading under 
a large tree, he marched up and in an authori¬ 
tative voice ordered him to bring him a book
