The next moraine; at breakfast, Hon. Mr. Too- 
ooon announced that tbc family would adjourn 
to the back parlor, as he had something to say 
to them. When all were duly seated, he began 
by announcing to the orphans that he was about 
to take a journey, and they must prepare to ac¬ 
company him. Proceeding to tell them that he 
was going to 11 ud places for them, he harrangued 
them, monkislily, upou their respective Christian 
duties, as brother and sister, upon the deep 
gratitude they should feel in possessing such a 
good uncle and aunt, to look out for them; and 
ended by declaring that few, very few, were left 
as well oil' as they! During this fervent exhibi¬ 
tion the children aat mute as statutes; but the 
glistening eye, the compressed lips of the hoy, 
betokened a purpose. When his uuele had fin¬ 
ished speaking he quietly aroso, and taking his 
little sister by the baud, merely bowed, and 
turned to leave the room. Astonished, and 
alarmed, his uncle did not recover his speech

following them to the door he inquired, 
“ Where are you going, hoy?” 
“ To be a man, sir,” replied his nephew. 
At that instant a ring at the door nnnormced a 
visitor, and, during the confusion that ensued, 
the children passed out. After leaving lfis

TEE GREAT NATIONAL WORK 
Harrt Ware, when day was over, 
Down the old path wet with dew. 
Where the starlight kissed the clover, 
Wailing long I thought of you; 
Waiting while the winds caressed me, 
Passing, o’er the ltoweie to roam, 
Dreaming that again you blessed me, 
And our armies had come home. 
Harry Ware, life’s visioned glory 
Changed to shadows still and cold, 
When they told the tearful story 
How yon slept beneath tbe mold; 
There your head lies low forever, 
In the silence and the gloom, 
And year step will echo never, 
Wheu our armies all come home. 
Harry Ware, I see you lying 
On the red field of the fray. 
Calling me when faint and dying, 
And I can hut kneel and pray: 
Well T know you died with glory, 
For the flag of Freedom's dome, 
But through tears I see it waving, 
When our armies all come home. 
Harry Ware, I linger lonely. 
Till the deathless morn shall glow, 
Waiting for your dear voice only, 
Calling soft forme to go; 
Like a bird this hope sings gladly 
In my heart, where’er I roam, 
And I will not mourn too sadly. 
When our armies all come home.

THE MOTHER’S ELAG OF TRUCE,

Edward Everett. Every Number op Tub 
bears! True, Lie geography taught him plainly 
enough —‘‘Chi ago is a thriving city of-iu- 
habitanls;” but, with his schoolmates, he forgot 
that in his little Eastern synonym for “Out 
West” — woods! 
Mr. Tioje ’3 carriage was in waiting at the de¬ 
pot, The tumujtuous sea of grimpant mortals, 
the deafening, Babvlouie din, as they were 
obliged to grapple their way to the carriage, in 
no wise dismayed George. It was not new to 
him. 
“Show our friends the city, first,” said Mr. 
True to the ecaehman, as he sprang into the 
carriage. 
Majestically the elegant carriage lumbered 
through busy South Water, up and down, 
through the glitter ot Lake and Clark, the 
ceaseless • latter of Randolph, out to the charm¬ 
ing Unlu^^yA suburb; then back, through the 
breadth ot blab', on to Cottage Grove Avenue: 
thenco to Douglas Place, and finally (for two of 
the gentlemen) a moment's tarry at the famed 
Tremont, where Arthur Gray and his uncle 
were registered. Thence ou through the angu¬ 
larity and bTkk statliuess to Wabash, where 
Michigan Avenue—the Boulevard of Chicago—is 
reached. George could not repress a smile at 
his primitive ilea of “Western Woods,” when 
this majestic street, dawned upon him !—regal 
in its wealth, Gothamite in its architecture, 
flanked on one side by all that the constructive 
power of i t can make wonderoua; on the other, 
by the supreme but unaffected simplicity of na¬ 
ture, in one of tier most sublime phases—that of 
a resplendent gem, set in cities and plains, and 
lending its nr.wic, as it. moodily sways, gently 
tipples, or angerly dashes to soothe, or warn 
the denizens of Michigan Avenue. It is pomp 
and pageant alongside nature In her most prim¬ 
itive guise, .'hrble palaces, in their loftiness, 
stand wholesomely rebuked by a power they 
cannot control, At the door of one of the most 
elegant, the carriage stopped. Mr. True sprang 
out, and lending the children up the steps was 
met at the dour and welcomed, with genuine, 
wifely cordially, by Mrs. True. 
“ What do you think of my investment, 
dear?” said lb: husband, jocosely, as they were 
divested of tlieir wrappings, and comfortably 
seated. 
“Investment,?” repeated slug,incredulously. 
“Ah i k W-^t! eu, what do you think of the 
“Lov.*v! .f ining, little pets! But are we 
to have them ? 1 
“ To be sure, 
they, George! 
“No, sir!” p plied the latter, decidedly. 
“ Yes! my dear, I am going to try these chil¬ 
dren one year, and if you like the girl, as well 
as I do the boy, we shall have some children in 
the house.” 
His wife looked too much delighted with the 
little Fannie, whom she had now on her lap, 
removing the tittle cap, and toying with the 
shower of silken ringlets it released, to reply. 
Theirhou.se had only lacked the music of chil¬ 
dren to render it all but Eden. These were no 
east off paupers, no gross clogs of clay, but re¬ 
fined metal, exquisitely chiselled into these pre¬ 
cious toys, upon which the winds of Heaven had 
evidently not been suffered to blow too roughly. 
The motherly heart, of Mrs. True wanned, in 
an instant, toward these tender plants, trans¬ 
planted by foreign hands, and parching up for 
want of the dews of fatherly and motherly affec¬ 
tion. Her kindly nature required just such an 
outlet, for its womanly sympathies. 
And here, began a new life for the pleasant 
household, with its joyous aeeesioo. The moth¬ 
er, with her lovely little daughter, was only too 
proud and busy with the early and necessary aids 
of governess, mantua-maker, music teacher 
The father, with laudable pride, introducing 
“ My son, sir,” to the best schools in the city, 
and at intervals of school hours, amusing him¬ 
self In sounding the capabilities of his strange 
investment. The boy more Hum met his ex¬ 
pectations. To an unimpeachable deportment 
and scholarship in school, he united more than 
ordinary business ability, lie was not long in 
becoming an fait in the counting-room, and 
took his place there as naturally. 
But we cannot follow him consecutively 
through the gradations of clerk, head clerk, and 
finally partner in the great establishment. We 
must take a leup to tire time when a very junior, 
yet honored partner, Ins profits alone were suf¬ 
ficient to set up a fine establishment for himself 
and sister, had it been practicable. But no! 
His adopted parents would not tolerate such a 
proposition. They had adopted them by law, 
making them legal heirs, and George esteemed 
their kindness too highly to deprive them now 
of their young society. 
The visitor, by whose announcement the chil¬ 
dren escaped from their uncle’s on that eventful 
morning, was no other than another uncle, 
“from the count 17 .” 
“ I heard,” he said, “ on the young ones mis¬ 
fortune, uud come to 6 eo if I couldn’t git one, 
or t'other, to go hum with me. I thought 
’twonld be cheaper to git a boy to do chores, 
oud a gal to milk and work out doors, cold days, 
than to hire.” 
But the victims were gone ! n appy chancel 
Their uncles made dilligent search for them, 
but in vain. Uncle Toogood, however, man¬ 
aged to delude society into present belief in him, 
by stoutly asserting that his sister’s children 
were being eared for at his expense. People 
might have been incredulous had he not just do¬ 
nated $1,000 to an Orphan Asylum in the town.

undaunted. As ho stopped a moment, to rest, 
he kneeled, and prayed to God, for strength to 
protect and provide for his little orphan sister. 
As he walked on aud emerged from ;; little 
thicket, he came upon a collection of buildings, 
and a railroad depot, where be had often stopped 
with his father, and bethought him. at once, of 
taking the ears at this place, a move certain to 
elude his uncle’s vigilance, ne hud some money, 
saved during prosperous times; with this, he at 
once bought a ticket and went on board a train 
going West. In the same car with George, and 
near him, sat three gentlemen conversing, ani¬ 
matedly, on various topics. From a mere casual 
glance at the children, the attention of these 
gentlemen was soon attracted by the manly de¬ 
portment of the boy, and his tender care of his 
baby sister. Here was no ordinary case. A boy, 
apparently not twelve years old, betraying in 
every look and tone the refinement of high 
breeding, traveling alone, and unprotected, with 
a child-sister, and caring for her with all the 
charm and grace of a mother. 
“Avery good mamma, you make, sir!' ap¬ 
provingly remarked the eldest of the three as 
George had just finished making an impromptu 
bed for his sister, who, unconscious of her deso¬ 
lation, was now sleeping the careless sleep of 
childhood. 
“She has no mother, sir, 
briefly. 
“ Ah! orphans! Going to Chicago ?” inquired 
the eldest; a fatherly, Howard-like appearing 
gentleman. 
“I don’t know, sir!” 
Here was a ease for philanthropy! Orphans, 
traveling alone, they knew not whither! No 
amount of taciturnity could discourage Mr. 
True, (the eldest gentleman,) when his sympa¬ 
thies were enlisted. He soon drew from the re¬ 
served boy the whole of his sad story. 
“Well! my boy!” said he, when the former 
had finished speaking, you are just the man I 
want. I am in need of just such a piece of pluck 
as you are, in my counting-room. Now, if you 
will go with me, and prove to be as good as yon 
promise, you shall not be sorry.” 
“ And my sister, sir ?” 
“ Shall be where you can see, and make pil¬ 
lows for her every day, if you wish.” The frank, 
benevolent expression of his new found friend, 
won the hoy. He promised. 
A few long days and nights, during which the 
boy scarce left his sister, ever assisted in his 
care by young Arthur Gray, who furnished all 
his spare baggage for the little Fannie’s com¬ 
fort ; liis shawl serving as her bed-qullt by 
night, his satchel of dainties as her dessert-box 
by day —and the “Detroit, Jackson, Ann Ar 
bor,” of the Michigan Central are passed. At 
last, the spires of the Great Western Metropolis 
dot the distant prairie horizon. To George’s 
new eyes, this great prairie, this unvarying, mo¬ 
notonous sea, this quaint key to Chicago, un¬ 
broken by a solitary hill, unenlivened by a 
picturesque valley, or flowing cascade, was won¬ 
derful. To Arthur, it wate more than wonder¬ 
ful,—It. was marvelous! 
The most original conception, cannot picture 
a prairie; all angular aud exact as it is; as 
though a great plane had graded nature for 
some grand purpose of art, yet gorgeous with 
its purple and gold of floral gems, its green cau- 
yass stretched at tasteful Interval, with dotting 
white cottages, with their little neat chimuies 
and park-like surroundings. 
Gliding on from the New World Plateau, into 
the city of iron and marble, as by aerial magic, 
our travelers were bewildered. Their minds 
could scarce comprehend tho newness, the un¬ 
surpassed momentum with which this new craft, 
had shot into tbc cycle of Western cities, dart¬ 
ing like a meteor by them all, and whirling ou 
the pivot of Its great water wheels, with Mars- 
like velocity. And as they listened to Mr. 
True's relation of how ho found It a fort with 
a few log huts, a few years sir.ee, and left it a 
great city a few months since, it seemed not tie 
tail, but magic — an Alhambric romance. To¬ 
day a trader’s landing, to-morrow a city. To 
the future it must be fable, not history. An

sSgSaHow they “Astonished the Natives, 
How r Mr. Toogood tossed, fruitlessly, upon 
his pillow. On Change, he was fertile in expedi¬ 
ents. But, he had a new case — the problem of 
“poor relations,” to solve. This inevitable 
skeleton, in his golden closet, had appeared to 
him unexpectedly. True, he might have antici¬ 
pated it; for his sister had died a year since, 
leaving children. But now, his sister's husband 
had died—bankrupt! What less, would be ex¬ 
pected of Hon. Mr. toogood, than to provide 
for these helpless orphans ? Now, a man with 
inborn integrity, finds it difficult enough to 
soothe Mrs. Grundy. But the being one 
thing, and seeming another, is an unnatural 
process, and put tins man to his wit’s end. Like 
most other social hypocrites, he was a coward, 
and stood in mortal awe of Mrs. Grundy. Now 
Mrs. Grundy is not to be hoodwinked, which 
made it much harder for him, being of defective 
conscience. 80 , although pitifully transparent, 
he thought he had tbe old lady effectually blind¬ 
folded; and, to keep her so, and it the same 
time'makc permanent discount of these encum¬ 
brances, was what disturbed Ids digestion ou 
this particular night. At length, some anodyne 
of decision seems to have set tled over him. His 
nerves relax, the region of wakefulness is passed, 
and villainy slumbers. But knavery is vigilant. 
An unquiet conscience, breeds ever unrest. Out¬ 
bursts of the unconscious tongue, being truth¬ 
ful revelations of a heart, which heats indisguise 
for the daylight world. Too much disturbed, to 
be incoherent, bis niutterings were in full, artic¬ 
ulate, vowels and consonants; unmindful that 
there were dear young ears, within the next 
room, with but a full, well meaning ventilator 
between! 
“ If I send these young ones to the poor house, 
I shall be mobbed. If I send them to the Or¬ 
phan Asylum, I shall be ex-communicated. If I 
don’t do anything with them they’ll be racing 
all over the country in rags, publishing me. 
(Toogood ! your character stands too high for 
that!) Ifl put them out to trades they’ll be 
running here in sunhonnets and cowhide boots, 
disgracing me. Humph! What have I ever 
done to he tormented with poor relations ?” 
groaned the good man, swearing very easily in 
his sleep. 
Here an echoing voice interrupted him in his 
vagaries. “'Why! Toogood! it’s easy enough 
to get rid of these paupers. Send them ofl. 
Out of the country. Out of hearing. Put them 
out.” 
“A capital idea Mrs. Toogood ! But suppose 
they should come back?” 
“They’ll not come back if you hear to me.” 
“Well! it takes a woman to devise,” now 
yawning himself fully awake. “But 1 wus just 
dreaming. There’s that girl; she’s pretty. Fix 
herJup, I shouldn't he much ashamed of her!” 
“Yes! indeed! bring her np to eclipse our 
girls! Never! If there’s a good match to he 
had, I want my girl to stand the first chance. If 
Charles hadn't been so literary and bought so 
many books and pictures, he needn’t have failed. 
Here, we have done nothing but drudge, and 
earn money, money, money, and now must 
needs spend it on these little wretches! Put 
them out, I soy ! Off— somewhere! You cun 
give out that they are away to he educated.” 
At this, the deep solitude of the next room 
was disturbed by a slight rustle, the deep dark¬ 
ness penetrated, by the clenching of a little fist. 
A stout heart was resolving not t.o be “put out.” 
“But they might make trouble for us after¬ 
ward,” soliloquized Mr. Toogood; “hang around 
begging, and betray us. 1 have a great mind to 
keep that boy arid put him in the store. He 
might be useful to me.” 
“No! No! man! If you keep one, you’ll 
have the other cousining around, mortifying 
Celestia and Tom. Better march them off, 
bag and baggage.” 
“They are too proud a race to cousin, I be¬

can postage on copies sent abroad, $2.70 Is the lowest 
Club rule for Cuuudn, and $3.50 to Europe,—but during 
the present rate of exchange, Canada Agents or Sub¬

specie-paying bunks will not be charged postage. The 
best way to remit 1 * by Draft on New York, (less cost of 
exchange,)—and all (balls made payable to the order of 
the Publisher, may he mailed at his risk.
