SUNLIGHT AND RAIN. 
BY OUO STANLEY. 
T0LRB arc tiny voices whispering low, 
Within the summer air, 
Their soft, mysterious roundelay 
Makes music everywhere; 
With tirrali, tirrala, 
Through all the summer air. 
The bright-hued, little messengers 
Lift up their gleaming wings, 
While from their tunny, swelling tliroats, 
They Utter joyous tilings; 
With tirrali, tirrala. 
They dart on gleaming wings. 
I sometimes catch a sadder strain 
Borne on the floating breeze, 
The silvery voices whispering 
Above the tall pine trees; 
With tirrali, tirrala, 
On every floating breeze. 
Where'er the sunlight glances bright 
Through fields of golden grain, 
The tiny voices mingle with 
The gentle summer rain; 
With tirrali, tirrala, 
O'er every lull and plain.

THE VOLUNTEER’S FAMILY. 
Mrs. Miller bar] just returned from a chop¬ 
ping excursion. “ What is the matter, Null,” 
said her husband, ;is he noticed her examining 
the various packages with anything but a satis¬ 
fied air. 
“ I declare,” fhe exclaimed, in a tone of vexa¬ 
tion, “ three shillings a yard for Bueh stuff as this 
factory,—it’s hardly fit for strainers,—and every¬ 
thing else in proportion; I have spent all my 
money, and have not got myself either a bonnet 
or scarf. Fred, J must have ten dollars more.” 
Fkkd looked thoughtful a moment, and then 
said, “Well, if you must have it, I will give it to 
you, on the condition that you go with me this 
afternoon and visit one of my patients.” 
“I will go,—80 give me the money,” and it 
was soon in her elegant port-monie. “I wish 
this horrid war was over,” she said, as she snap¬ 
ped the clasp, “then everything would not be so 
high. It costs so much to live now-a-days, that 
it is almost enough to drive one to commit sui¬ 
cide.” 
“Perhaps it would he just as well if ‘our 
folks 5 would make peace with the rebels and let 
them go,” said Fred, quietly knocking the ashes 
from his cigar. 
Mrs. Null Miller opened her eyes to their 
widest extent at this speech, but as she noticed 
the smile lurking around the corners of his 
mouth, she said, a little indignantly, “You know 
I did not mean any such a thing, f guess I am 
as patriotic as uuy one; I. go to the Aid Society 
once a week, and I have sent as much jelly and 
dried fruit to the hospital as Mrs. Grundy hap, 
and she is twice as well off as I am.” 
“I am glad my little wife is so patriotic, for 
now I am sure she will wear her old bonnet this 
winter, go without the scarf, and give me back 
that ten dollars to use as I had intended, for Mrs. 
Epson, whose husband went away with our first 
volunteers.” 
“I don’t know about that,” replied Nell, “I 
think I have done my share; and, besides, what 
would Mrs. Grundy say if I should w ear my 
bonnet another winter; it, is so old-fashioned.” 
“ That means,” said Fred, “that it will only 
hold a peck of flowers on the top instead of half 
a bushel. Well, we won't argue about it,” he 
continued, laughing at the odd look which she 
gave him; “but don’t forget yon promised to 
ride with me this afternoon, and we will look at 
the bonnets as we come back.” 
“It is one of your charity patients you are 
going to see, I suppose,” said Nkll, as they 
seated themselves for the ride; 1 believe yon 
have more of that class than any other; I really 
think you ought to reinuni her your family, and 
not be bo generous with your pills and pow¬ 
ders.” 
“ It is true the family we are going to visit are 
very poor, but I have the best security for the 
pay for any services which I may render them.” 
“I am glad of it;, but who is it, ’Squire 
Hyde?” 
“No,ibetter than that; He to whom I am to 
look for pay never fails, and the bond which He 
has given reads thus:—‘He that giveth to the 
poor lendeth to the Lord.’” 
Mrs. Miller was silenced, but not convinced. 
An only child, her parents had unconsciously 
fostered the selfishness of their lovely girl, until 
it had assumed proportions which sometimes dis¬ 
figured her otherwise finely formed character. 
Her generous husband had discovered this, and 
as ho considered it almost her only fault, was 
naturally anxious to correct it; but he was a 
great believer in the popular (?) doctrine of 
“strategy,” and worked accordingly. 
Nell was still pondering, with a somewhat 
dissatisfied face, upon the last words of her hus¬ 
band, when they arrived at Mrs. E ns on’s, who 
welcomed the doctor I is a dear friend, and 
seemed much pleased that his wife accompanied 
him. “Alice will be delighted to know yon 
have come,” she said, glancing toward the easy 
chair, where the little girl, evidently an invalid, 
was resting. 
“ Ob, doctor,” she exclaimed, “how glad 1 am 
to see you,” and she held out her hands eagerly 
toward him. 
He understood the motion, and smiling, took 
her in bia arms and seated himself in her chair. 
“Look here, Alice,” he said, “I have brought 
Mrs. Mili.br to see you.” 
“ You are very good and kind to come here,” 
said the child, reaching out her little white hand 
to Nkll, who took it gently in her own, and 
stooping down pressed a kiss upon the sweet 
lips of little Alice, and then seated herself by 
her side. 
“Do I bold you in an easy position,” asked 
the doctor of his little patient; “ does it rest you 
any?” 
“Oh yes, indeed it does,—yon hold me just as 
papa used to,—oh, my dear papa!” she cried, 
bursting into tears. 
Mrs. Miller questioned her mother with her 
eyes, who replied, after pausing a moment, as 
though something had impeded her speech, “ He 
crossed the rive)' with Col. Baker.” 
Those few word a! bow well they told the 
story of her sorrow and bereavement. Mrs. 
Miller hud read all about the terrible buttle 
scene at Ball’s Bluff,—that fearful, needless 
slaughter of brave men, but it bad never been a 
reality to her; until that moment she had never 
felt into hew many hearts and homes that sad 
record had brought the anguish of death. She 
found voice to say, “I am sorry for you; it was 
very, very hard for you to lose him so.” 
“ YftH, it was hard indeed, harder that, bis death 
brought no visible good to the country be loved 
so well; but he hag gone from me, and I must 
bear my sliare of the terrible burthen which is 
now laid upon the land. For myself T can do, 
I can bear, but when I think of my poor little 
girl, how she must be deprived of thing* so 
necessary for her comfort, I can hardly en¬ 
dure it.” 
“ How long has she been ill?” asked Nkll. 
“ It is now three months since she received the 
fall which I fear will make her a cripple for life, 
—poor little dear, her father was so tender of 
her, but he can do for her no more,”—hero her 
voice was choked by the sobs she vainly tried to 
repress. 
« Don’t cry so, mama,” said little Alice ; “ papa 
was a brave soldier, and now he is in the army 
of the Lord. We shall all be with him soon. 
Ob, Mrs. Miller, the doctor told me all about 
that, beautiful place; he said my dear papa was 
there, and that if I was good and patient, I 
should go there too. I used to bo afraid to die, 
but now I am not, for I shall go where he has 
gone before, and he will welcome me there, and 
then I shan’t be lame any more, and i shall hear 
beautiful music all the time. Oh, I love to hear 
it so well; papa, used to sing when he was with 
us; and that makes me think the doctor said you 
would sing tor me when you came to see me, 
will you?” 
“ Yes, dear little one,” said Nell, through her 
tears; “whatshall I 6ing?” 
“11 you know 'The Soldier’s Good-Bye,’ I’ll 
have that, if you please,—papa sang it the eve¬ 
ning he went, away.” 
Nell’s voice trembled a little at first, but she 
soou mastered her emotion, and sang with her 
accustomed excellence. 
“One more, just one more,” pleaded little 
Alice, “and that is ‘ Rest for the Weary.’” 
“Oh thank you, very, very much,” she said, 
when the by in n was concluded; “that is such a 
beautiful piece. 1 think of it a great deal, be¬ 
came I sun weary so much, 1 suppose.” 
Nell’s quick eyes discovered many things 
wanting, both for convenience and comfort, in 
the little room, and yet there was no complain¬ 
ing word from either mother or daughter, and 
she thought, with a pang of self-reproach, how 
many times she bad rendered her own home 
unpleasant by her thoughtless fault-finding, and 
of bow little she had ever done to further her 
more generous husband in his schemes for the 
benefit of the worthy poor. Little Alice’s 
dressing-gown she noticed was not only thin 
but very much faded and worn, and she thought 
how the discarded dresses of heris would make 
her a neat UDd comfortable one; the lounge upon 
which little Alice, at her Own request, had been 
placed, showed (in spite of all the tidy house¬ 
keeper’s care) the marks of time’s destroying 
fingers —and the bare lloor seemed hard and 
chilly to her who had been accustomed to warm 
and tasty “ three-plys.” She thought of all these 
and many more things ob they rode away from 
the humble home, so filled with sorrow, so 
pinched by poverty, and she was aroused from 
her reverie by her husband's asking what milli¬ 
ner shop she wished to visit 
“ I will not stop at any,” she replied; “ that 
good woman and her dear little child need this 
ten dollars far more than 1 do ; I only wish I had 
twice the amount to expend for them.” 
“ I atn very glad to hear you say po,” said the 
doc tor; “ Oh, Nell,” be continued earnestly, “ we 
think too little of the sorrows of others; we too 
often forget the divine injunction. 1 bear ye one 
another's burdens,' and now, when so many fami¬ 
lies are giving their dear ones to the support of 
our country, we, who stay at home should bear 
them in mind, and do all in our power to assist 
them. * .... 
Nei.l’ 9 nimble fingers soon finished the con¬ 
templated double-gown for little Alice, and 
then a carpet, which had been discarded as too 
much worn for use, was brought down from the 
garret and examined. It had originally covered 
a large room, and she found that by taking the 
best of it she could make one large enough to 
nearly cover Mrs. Edbon’b little room; but she 
needed some help to cany out ail her plans, and 
so she concluded to call on Mrs. Grundy, who 
proved very willing to assist her, either because 
it was just then fashionable to be patriotic, or 
because, like Mrs- Miller, there was a hidden 
fount of goodness in her heart, which needed but 
the presence of suffering and sorrow to call it 
forth for the benefit of the afflicted. The two 
ladies soon had the carpet mode to their satisfac¬ 
tion, and then they talked of a cover for the 
lounge. After a moment's thought. Mrs. Grundy 
said. “I’ll tell you wbat I will do —you know 
that couch in my back parlor,—well, I can do 
without it, and they shall have it, and it will be 
much more comfortable for the little girl than 
a lounge- And I have a large easy chair up 
stairs, covered to match it,—that shall go, too.” 
*• How good and generous yon are,” said Mrs. 
Miller: “do you know that I disliked to wear 
my old bonnet this winter for fear you would 
laugh at me?” 
“Did you, indeed, think so ill of me? "Well, I 
don’t wonder, for I have been taught to think 
more of dress than anything else, but since so 
many of our dear friends have gone to the war, 
I somehow don’t feel just as I nsed to. Mr. 
Grundy and J were talking about it yesterday, 
and we concluded ibat. it. was our place (as we 
had no repiesentative to send from our home,) to 
do all we could for the families of those who are 
fighting, that our husbands may stay at borne. 
But how shall we get the things there a? you 
wished without their knowing it?” 
“I will tell yom I thought that, uByour hus¬ 
band has an easy carriage, perhaps he would be 
willing to take Alice and her mother out riding, 
and while they are gone, Fred will help us, and 
we can get all through before they come back.” 
Accordingly, a few days aftei ward, the inmates 
of that little home were delighted by an invita¬ 
tion to ride a short distance into the country,— 
it needed no urging to induce the tired mother 
and invalid child to accept the welcome invita¬ 
tion; for both were longing for the sweet, fresh 
air and pleasant sights which the country 
affords on a mild day in the late autumn time, 
and while they were gone a great transform¬ 
ation was effected in their heme. In their de¬ 
light. they did not notice, as they rode away, the 
loaded wagon standing near their house, the 
contents of which, by the help of the doctor, were 
soon transferred and arranged to the satisfaction 
ol Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Grundy, who made 
their appearance just as the carriage rolled 
away. The carpet was nailed down, the couch 
and chair placed in order, the barrel of (lour, 
boxoB of tea, sugar, and other comforts stowed 
away in the pantry, the new double-gown thrown 
over the back of the little girl’s chair, and to 
crown all, a light stand was placed by the win¬ 
dow near which she usually sat, on which two or 
three choice books, a fine, collection of engrav¬ 
ings, and a small pot of sweet-scented geranium 
were placed. 
“ There, now, that looks a little like living," 
said Nell, as she threw herself into the easy 
chair. Oh dear, how tired 1 am, but won’t they 
be delighted.” 
Had those ladies spent far more money, and 
twice the labor which they had employed to 
work this pleasant. transfoAudion, they would 
have been abundantly repaid by the unbounded 
delight of little Alice, and the heartfelt thanks 
of her mother, when they returned and witnessed 
the change in their little room. 
“Gop will reward yon, I know He will,” Bind 
Mrs. Epson, “for.this most unexpected and 
most welcome kindness to us now.” 
And Ho did, indeed, reward them; for never 
in their lives had they felt a purer, sweeter joy 
than that which, at that moment, filled their 
hearts. 
“ Here are the papers,” °aid Dr. Miller to his 
wife one evening a few weeks after the “ dona¬ 
tion visit to Mrs. Edson’s”— “please see if 
there is any news, for 1 am too tired to read. 
Nell opened one and glanced over it somewhat 
Carelessly a few moments; suddenly she uttered 
an exclamation which brought Fred to his feet 
with the query, “What is it?—our folks have not 
taken Richmond, have they?” 
“No, but see here in this list of returned 
prisoners is the name Jerome Epson, Company 
C, 18th Regiment N. Y. V. It must be Alice’s 
father.” 
“It certainly is, said the doctor; I must go to 
them immediately with the good news; let me 
look at it again so as to be sure that there is no 
mistake. All right,” he exclaimed, joyfully. 
“I’m off!” 
“Wait a moment,” said Nell, “and I will go 
with yon.” 
They were too late with their good news: the 
husband and father (thanks to an influential 
friend whom he met in Washington, and who cut 
the complicated twistings of “ red-tape ” for him,) 
was already with those so dear to him, and who 
had welcomed him as one from the grave. There 
was joy deep and fervent,—there was thanks¬ 
giving and praise,— there was Hope rising anew 
out of the ashes of the pari. In that bumble borne 
that blissful evening, and to little Alice, clasped 
once more in her father’s arms, renewed lifb and 
health seemed to have neen imparted by the 
joyful surprise. 
“ May Heaven reward you,” said Mr. Epson 
to the doctor and his wife, “for all your kind 
care for my dear ones while i was pining in the 
dark and dreary prison house; much as I suffered 
there from sickness and privation, it was nothing 
compared to the agony 1 endured when thinking 
of what they might suffer. 1 had, just before I 
was taken prisoner, received a letter informing 
me of the dreadful fall my little girl had received, 
and it was torture to me to think that she might 
not be cared for as she should be; but you 
remembered the volunteer's family, blessings on 
you fur that ; if those who remain at home could 
feel how it would lighten the heart of the absent 
soldier to know that, there were those who would 
be friends to his little family, they would, I am 
sure, be willing to do all in their power for those 
from whose humble hearths strong hearts and 
brave have gone forth to win the battles of the 
free; and when 1 return to my duty, it will be 
with a lighter heart, for I shall feel (hat you are 
helping to bear my burthen for me.” 
Reader, among all the thirty thousand widows 
who have already given up hope for the lost 
ones, and made application to Government for 
the poor pittance of a pension allowed them who 
have given and suffered most for the country, 
are there not some near you whom you can in 
some measure comfort and assist in their hour 
of sorrow and gloom? Not unto many will come 
the good fortune of Mrs. Ldson; they will wait 
and watch, and watch and wait, till the light of 
hope will fade out in darkness and despair. To 
them, then, how sweet will be the word of friend¬ 
ship, how opportune the helping hand. Now, 
when the first wild burst of enthusiasm has died 
in a measure away, there is danger that the 
volunteer’s family will be forgotten. Then, 
ladies, instead of grumbling at high prices—men, 
instead of whirring and fuming at the plethoric 
tax list- and snarling about “ shin plasters ” and 
sixty per cent premium on gold,—think that 
these are your share, (a comparatively light 
one, too,) of the burdens of this war for country 
and for right; and forget not those who bear 
infinitely more than you, ever remembering 
“he that hath pity on the poor lendeth to the 
Lord, and that which he hath given, the Lord 
will pay him again.” e. s. t.

“THE SMITHS.” 
John Smith —plain John Smith—is not very 
high sounding; it docs not suggest aristocracy; 
it is not the name of any hero in die away novels; 
and yet it is good, strong and honest Transferred 
to other languages it seems to climb the ladder 
of respectability. Thus in Latin, it is Johannes 
Smithns; the Italian smooths it offinto Giovanni 
Smith!; the Spaniards render it Juan Smiths; the 
Dutchman adopts it us Hans Schmidt; the French 
flatten it out into Jean Smeet; and the Russian 
sneezes and barks Jonloff Smittokski. When 
John Smith gets into the tea trade at Canton, he 
becomes Johen Shimmit; if he clambers about 
Mount Hecla, the Icelanders say be is Jahne 
Smithson; if he trades among the Tnscaroras, he 
becomes Ton Qua Smittia: In Poland he 1 h known 
as Ivan Scbmittiweirid: should he wander among 
the Welsh mountains, they talk of J ihon Schmidd; 
when he goes to Mexico be is hooked as Jontli 
F’Smitti j if of classic turn he lingers among 
Greek ruins, be turns to Ton Smikton; and in 
Turkey he is utterly disguised as Yoe Seef.
