good stock, and I am none afraid to warrant they 
will turn out well and be a credit to whoever 
takes them In hand.’’ 
Having thus settled it, the deacon was prepar¬ 
ing to take another nap, when his wife aroused 
him again. 
“I don’t feel that we should becoming up to 
our whole duty in taking one that could be of 
some help to us. The older children will be 
easier for Mr. Sabin to look after and find places 
for, and I feel that we ought to relieve him of the 
most helpless, if we wouldn't shirk from the 
Lord’s work.” 
Deacon Haven roused himself. “ I am afraid, 
wife, that would be taking too much upon your¬ 
self: but I wouldn’t dare to stand in the way of 
what you think to be right about it” 
And so the matter was decided, and the next 
morning the baby was brought over to her new 
home and became Ruth Haven. 
Little Ruth grew daily in winning grace and 
loveliness. Before she was six months old, her 
adopted parents would sooner have parted with 
all their possessions than with her. As she grew 
older, the promise of her infancy was more than 
fulfilled, and at early womanhood she was the 
most charming girl in town. Everybody admit¬ 
ted it, but more than all others, young Paul 
Hill. He had known Ruth ever since be could 
remember, and loved her quite as long, and as 
years and manhood came on, his affection in¬ 
creased and established itself. Nobody thought 
of becoming his rival, because it had been for so 
long a promised and expected engagement that 
they were tacitly left to each other. 
up her wedding rather than leave the deacon and 
his wife. They took her w hen she was a little 
baby, and have always done for her like an own 
child, and it looks well in her to remember it of 
them now. I don’t beJieve Paul can find a better 
wife, go the world over, and I should blame him 
if he had the heart to try after having been with 
Ruth so long; always, as we might say. I am 
some afraid we don't do right to inuke them suf¬ 
fer for the sake of gratifying our notions, especi¬ 
ally when we have more boys to look to.” 
‘•The older boys, you know, Sarah, are settled 
away from home, and Luke and Mark are too 
young to depend upon. Paul’s disposition al¬ 
ways had my mind on keeping him with me,” 
said the lefl’nant. who having weakly laid him¬ 
self open to argument was worsted already. 
1 know it: Paul has been a good boy to ns,” 
returned Mrs. Hill, from the fullness of her 
motherly’ love. "After all, that is a poor reason 
for spoiling his happiness by separating him from 
Ruth. And I can’t blame Ruthj she does jnst 
right to stay by Deacon Haven and his wife, for 
it would break them all op to lose her. They are 
growing old and really need somebody with 
them. The deacon isn’t so spry as you are; he 
is getting feeble and ought to give up to a 
younger hand: but who has be to look to? Now 
we are smart enough to keep about some years 
yet. if we have our health, and as Luk<> and Mark 
are growing older all the time they will soon be 
able to take the heaviest of the work off you. 
Then I have Salome to help me, and I’m not sure 
but we can give up our choice for the sake of the 
children, better than the deacon can.” 
Left’nant Hill made no reply, for he had noth¬ 
ing to say. but by his troubled face his wife’s 
quick eyes saw that he was unsettled and waver¬ 
ing in his determination. So, like a wise woman 
who knew when to speak and when to keep 
silent, she made herself heard during the remain¬ 
der of the evening only by the clicking of her 
busy needles. 
The next morning the left’nant said, “Ifyou’ve 
a mind to make Deacon Haven’s folks a visit to¬ 
day, I don’t care if I take a ride with you after 
dinner, down there.’’ 
Mrs. Hill readily consented, though by no 
means with undue eagerness, knowing full well 
that her mission was accomplished. 
And so it was. The arrangements were all 
settled over Mrs. Haven’s short-cake and tea; and ' 
in a few weeks Paul went to live with Ruth and , 
became a son to the good old deacon. 
Tlius the puny, motherless baby blessed her ; 
benefactors, and the bread which they cast upon 
the water? returned to them again. 
Only southern stare above me, 
In the wide, blue southern sky, 
As the hours of midnight hurry 
On their march of darkness by; 
Yet the breeze which fans my forehead, 
Like a touch of iove and home, 
From the green hills of my fathers 
Hath perchance this moment come. 
In the sleepless dreams of fancy, 
I may see what nft in pain 
I have yearned till thought was anguish, 
To behold hut once again; 
All the quiet village gathered 
To its tranquil calm of rest; 
"With the smile of Heaven silvered 
In the lake’H serenest breast. 
There my mother starts from slumber, 
Dreaming of her child afar; 
Ah, my thought in sleep or waking, 
Holds her memory like a star! 
There my sister’s cheek grows paler 
At the fancied battle’s din; 
How should she, our cherished darling, 
Ken the weight of human siD ? 
O’er the mossy graves, where softly, 
Half our number folded lie, 
Nodding daisies spring in beauty, 
Giving taick the April sky 
Not unlinked, the chain hut stretches 
To that borne which waits unseen. 
Till the veil of life is parted, 
And we Jook behind the screen.

ATTENTION, BEE -KEEPERSM 
Having experimented with bees and hives for the past few 
years, for the purpose of revolutionizing the present loose 
system or bee-management and bringing within the reach 
of ad 1 a hive that :i well adapted to the wants of the Apicul- 
turirt. whereby bees can be controlled at all times, and at 
the same time fully overcome four of the greatest troubles 
in bee-management, viz: the loss of bees in saarluing time 
by their flying to the forest the rtvngos of the moth mil¬ 
ler, tbe robbery of hees, ... n d also the great loss of bees du¬ 
ring winter, fill of these diHiruUtes 1 have MiecevafuUy 
overcome. And as a token of the good merits of the hive 
I have taken the first Premium at every Atrri-rititiiraiFair 
where 1 have exhibited; and two years in succession at the 
Nkw Yokk State Fair, and at their hurt Fair 1 waaaward-

When the morning brightness trembled 
On the misty hills in gold, 
And the chill night-shadows fainted 
In the sun’s victorious fold, 
At his post, the soldier leaning, 
Saw with frozen glance the day, 
But his spirit eyes beheld it 
In the Mansion far away. 
He always 
wont home with her from all the spelling and 
singing schools, and carried her to all the Rleigb- 
rides and musters. Even Haul’s intermeddling 
siHter Salome’s sharp eyes ceased to look after 
tho young couple, tbe affair and its consumma¬ 
tion were considered so thoroughly settled. 
But there was to be an obstacle thrown in the 
course of even this smooth-flowing love, at the 
eleventh hour, when in most cases, troubles have 
at last run themselves clear. 
Pan! felt himself in due time, though still 
young, to be quite old enough for taking the 
responsibilities and cares of wedlock upon him¬ 
self. Saying as much to pretty Ruth Haven, his 
black eyes brightened to see her blue eyes grow 
still softer, and her cheek mm Ihc color of a 
damask rose, as she could think ol no objection 
to put forth. Neither had anybody else any 
objections to the marriage, and yet a most serious 
difficulty came up in their way. 
Once married, the customs of society would, 
of course, by no mean? admit of Paul’s staying 
at the Hill homestead, and Ruth remaining 
under the roof of Deacon Haven, and here the 
trouble arose.

A puny, week-old baby, red and forlorn, lay 
carefully wrapped in blankets, in the lap of a 
little girl who sat in a low chair, on the stone 
hoarth of a huge fireplace, —such a fireplace as 
we never see iu these degenerate times, — one of 
those which tradition tells us used to be supplied 
with logs of wood so large that a yoke of oxen 
were required to back them into their place 
on the stout fire-dogs. The gir) was no more 
than six years old, yet she held the baby as 
carefully and managed it as adroitly as a prac¬ 
ticed nurse. 
While, with much pride and feelings of great' 
importance, she thus kept watch and ward in tho 
kitchen, there was a subdued sound of sorrowful 
weeping in the square front room where the 
father sat with bis group of stricken little ones, 
one of them too young to know what made this 
sad stir iu the house, and why their mother slept 
so loug and looked so white. The room was 
tilled with friendly neighbors, who had come 
with feeling hearts and hands to help in this 
time of sore need.

as any since the days of early martyrs, and 
having always counted on Paul among his boys 
to succeed him on hip acres, he was quite unable 
to see any sufficient reason for changing the plan 
of his life, or iu fact of feeling any disposition ro 
try to see any. Deacon Haven and his wife, on 
the other hand, looked on the large circle of Hill 
boys and girls, where one would be so little 
missed, and then to the single pet lamb of their 
household, and could perceive no justice, as in¬ 
deed I cannot, in spending their old age in soli¬ 
tude for the gratification of tbe left’nant’s whim. 
So they might be together, Ruth and Paul were 
content to make, their home at either farm house, 
and thus the burden of decision was left entirely 
with the parents. 
"It is very hard if I can't choose for myself 
which boy I prefer to have tbefarm and take care of 
my in my old age. 1 can’tchangemyplan I’vehad 
po long. Deacon Haven's folks and Paul always 
knew my intentions about it,” said Left’nant, 
looking as immovable as a mountain. 
“ If 1 had eight children to select from, it seems 
to me I wouldn't be so selfish and set on one 
particular child; but if 1 am bereaved of my 
Ruth, I am bereaved.” said Deacon Haven, with 
tears iu his eyes. 
“Don't feel badly, father, I won’t leave yon.” 
The minister was there, dig¬ 
nified and reverend, solemnly speaking the words 
of bnrial for the dead and sympathy for the 
living. The father bowed his head upon his 
hand in speechless grief, and tbe older of the 
children sobbed alone, while the little ones 
looked wonderjngly about them, chewing their 
hat strings, and crying by fits because the others 
did. Meantime there lay die little new comer, 
scowling and sucking its fist, wholly insensible 
and indifferent to the woe it had unconsciously 
brought. 
“I don’t see what poor Mr. Sabin will do 
with such a family of little ones, especially with 
the baby,” said one pitying neighbor to another. 
u it would seem a mercy if the baby had been 
taken with its mother, but w e ought not to judge 
of such things,” said the other, wiping her eyes. 
“ Yon are right; to be sure we ought not, but 
one can’t help thinking what an estimable, valu¬ 
able lift!, has been sacrificed for a weakly baby 
that hardly appears worth raising,” observed 
a third. 
The w’omen could not 
so full of wants, may blossom out at last, even 
in the undeveloped stages of this earthly life, in¬ 
to such beautiful fruition that whoever was in¬ 
trusted in any way to the care autl rearing of it, 
may well give thanks for the blessing.

Mr. Thurlow Weed relates in the Albany 
Journal the following romantic incident in con¬ 
nection with a friend of his, recently deceased: 
in hip history there is a romance so well known 
to his friends that we can see no objection to its 
constituting part of his obituary. More than 
forty years ago. in the village of Manlius, two 
merchant clerks—Charles Williams and Richard 
P. Hopkins—were suiters tor the hand of Miss 
Phelps, an accomplished young lady of that vil¬ 
lage. They were intimate friends, and each «o 
excellent in character, and so attractive in person 
and manners, that a young lady might well be 
embarrassed in her choice, exclaiming 
How happy could I be with either, 
Were t’other dear charmer away. 
But a decision was finally made In Richard’s 
favor. This caused no jar in the relations of the 
trio. Hopkins went with his young wife toChau- 
tauqua county, and Williams to New York, 
Where after several years of clerkship, bo went 
into business and was successful. Many vears 
afterwards Hopkins failed, and became, first a 
clerk, and then a partner of Williams, in New 
York. Some fifteen years ago, Mr Williams 
married the daughter of Mr. Hopkins, his early 
rival, and the daughter, also, of his first attach¬ 
ment. Like the mother, she was accomplished 
and estimable. The parties were always happy 
because they wore truly good. Mr Hopkins

said Ruth, dutifully. 
The old man. though he had just denounced 
selfishness, was wonderfully comforted, and went 
about his work comparatively light at heart: 
though fhe matter was far from being satisfac¬ 
tory. for he seriously needed the help of a son- 
in-law in fiis declining years; and he could not 
expect Ruth, though she had sacrificed one lover, 
would accept another in his place, even if lie had 
wished it. 
Paul, however, though certainly not relishing 
this postponement of his nuptials, by no means 
considered himself in the light of a sacrificed 
lover. 
Meantime there was a champion arising in his 
behalf, in the comely, peace-promoting person of 
his cheerful-hearted mother. 
“ I don't know as we are doing quite right to 
insist on keeping Paul with us,” said she, one 
evening when the children had Fill gone to an

“I can’t sleep for thinking of Mr. Sabin and

to her husband, the deacon, in the middle of the 
following night. 
Tbe deacon stopped snoring, and turned over. 
‘•\es, it is a hard and mysterious Providence

them. I hope they may be enabled to submit, 
with patient resignation, to the hand of the Lord;

“ Mr. Sabin is a real, sincere Christian, as we
