THE TRUNDLE BED. 
As I rummaged through the attic, 
List'ntng to the falling rain. 
As It pattered on the shingles. 
And against the window pane, 
Peeping over chests and boxes, 
Which with dust were thickly spread. 
Saw I in the furthest corner 
What was once my truudle bed. 
So I drew it from the recess. 
Where it bad remained so long, 
Hearing all the while the music 
Of my mother's voice in song. 
As she sung in sweetest accents, 
What I since have often read— 
** lluah, my dear, lie still and slumber, 
Holy angels guard thy bed.” 
As I listened, recollections 
That I thought, hud been forgot. 
Canto with all the gush of memory, 
Hushing, thronging to the spot— 
As 1 wandered back to childhood. 
To those merry days or yore, 
When 1 knelt beside iny mother, 
Py this bed upon the Utter. 
Then it was with bands so gently 
Placed upon my infant head, 
That she taught my lii<s to utter 
Carefully the words she said. 
Never can they be forgotten— 
Deep are they in mem Tv graven : 
*• Hallowed be Thy name. O Father! 
FatherThou who art in Heaven!” 
This she taught me; then she told m<> 
Of its Import, great and deep; 
After which f learned to utter 
“ Now I lay me down to sleep.” 
Then it was with (mods uplifted, 
And in accents soft and mild, 
That my mother asked “ Our Father, 
•* Father, do Thou bless my child !” 
Years have passed, and that dear mothc 
Long has mouldered 'neath the 3od, 
And I trust her sainted spirit 
Revels in the homo of God. 
But that scene at summer twilight 
Never has from memory tied; 
And it comes in nil its freshness 
When I see my trundle hod.

CAIN’S OLD QUESTION. 
At h fuir in Baltimore lieltl in aid of the 
Inebriate Asylum there, Vice-President 
Colfax delivered an earnest and eloquent 
address in which lie spoke as follows of 
man's relation toward his brother: 
“ There is a question that comes down to 
all of us through the centuries—from the very 
birth-place of mankind—full of momentous 
interest to every one upon this footstool ot 
God. It is that question which Cain asked 
of the. Almighty—not as a question, but as a 
defense against the arraignment for his 
brother. It was, 4 Am I my brother’s keep¬ 
er?” In every civilized land throughout 
the globe—in evory civilized nation, and 
state, and community, the answer comes 
back to that question, 4 You are your broth¬ 
er’s keeper.’ 
“It, is a responsibility that none of you 
can deny or evade. Every statute that you 
find on your statute-book for the punishment 
of crime and fraud is the answer to t he ques¬ 
tion, ‘Am I my brother’s keeper?’ Every 
jail and prison casting their gloomy shadows 
over the land, every sheriff and police officer, 
are the answer that the community makes to 
this question, as old as inankind itself. And, 
besides this, and better than this, every re¬ 
formatory and ameliatoiy institution that 
blesses this land of ours is the answer that 
we give to the question that comes to us 
from almost the Garden of Eden itself. In 
the institutions of which we are so justly 
proud, where the mind is restored to those 
whose reason has been dethroned, in the 
asylum for the insane—in those institutions 
where the blind are almost made to see, the 
dumb to speak, the deaf to hear—in every 
institution for the relief of ihe poor and di¬ 
stressed, we have the answer of society to the 
question, ‘Ain I my brother’s keeper?”’ 
True as are these words of the distin¬ 
guished orator, there is a deeper significance 
in that old question of Cain's than here set 
forth. Man is not his brother’s keeper alone 
when that brother has proven recreant to 
right, or has met with misfortune, or has 
been deprived of his faculties for self- 
preservation. In a sense that every thinking 
mind will clearly appreciate, we are our 
brother’s keeper when no one of these con¬ 
siderations exists. The searching inquiry 
Which the first murderer put so defiantly to 
his Maker, should issue from the lips of each 
man who puts a glass of intoxicating drink 
into the hand of another. So long as human 
influence, acting from heart to heart, is so 
powerful as now,—so long as one man’s wish 
so readily becomes another man’s desire,— 
just so long will every son. of Adam be his 
brother’s keeper. 
What a fearful trust, then, is imposed upon 
us. Are we faithful to it ? Look at the an¬ 
swers. They are all about us. They stag¬ 
ger out of our saloons, they swagger into 
our drawing-rooms, they make brutes of 
themselves everywhere. One robs his fel¬ 
low, another beats liis wife, another kills his 
friend. ”’Twos the drink did it, sir,” said a 
homicide, in palliation of his crime. Was 
it? Nay ; the man who gave the drink did 
it. Au(l that man was the murderer’s keep¬ 
er ! He might have kept him from shame, 
and crime, and eternal death. Alas! that 
he did not! 
Individualistic as life is, it yet dangerously 
multiplies itself. If every man lived solely 
for his own personality, it w viild be a light 
thing to travel toward the suuset. But ho 
docs not. He cannot. He gives to liis fel¬ 
lows that which maddens, and ruins,—and 
what is the result? Betraying his trust,—a 
trust old as the race,—killing lib brother as 
surely, though not as summarily, as Cain 
killed Abel, he is not less surely accursed. 
And though lie bear no outward indication 
of the Divine displeasure, lie carries ever 
within his own conscience the fatal reminder, 
and will in the end meet his just reward. 
-- 
SYCOPHANCY OF AMERICANS. 
I confess a t, times an almost utter ablior- 
ence of my relation to humanity, and why ? 
because as a majority they grasp at and de¬ 
vour with avidity and loud-mouthed re¬ 
mark the sensation items published, which 
their own moral sense of right and honor 
ultimately brings them to regard as absurd, 
or at least as coming short of the moral 
principle or worth that should induce a sin¬ 
gle thought of respect. 
The man of wealth, without regard to 
loyalty or honor, is respected, and if he die, 
his portrait and Ihe good points of liis life 
picked out and shown up; while another, 
who, having done a world of good, having 
expended his whole life in aid of liis fellow 
man void of pecuniary reward, has no no¬ 
tice beyond a brief obituary. 
This feeding of the crude impulsive appe¬ 
tite of a people is, 1 suppose, honorable and 
just iu the eyes of journalists, because it 
pays, and covers the point which a publish¬ 
er once stated to me, viz.: He “published a 
paper for his living; the truth or falsity, 
the honor or uprightness it inculcated was 
nothing to him, none of liis business. That 
belonged to the people, all he wanted or ex¬ 
pected was to make money out of it .” 
I suppose it’s “all right and can’t be no 
rightev,” Nevertheless I do think this giv¬ 
ing a half-loyalist like Geo. Peabody, be¬ 
cause of his wealth, lull size illustrations, and 
columns of half relieved commendation, or a 
free lover like Richardson, because of his 
connection in life with men just now in 
power, column after column, not a word of 
which is instructive or pertaining to any¬ 
thing good, morally or religiously, but only 
incitlve of a course destructive to alt our so¬ 
cial relations, are acts against which every 
man should expostulate. A Thorn.

UNREST. 
BY A. H. LINTON. 
O God of peace t sootho mo to inner calm! 
This wearying unrest 
So racks and wounds my breast 
I long for Thiuc own sweet nnnointing balm! 
To feel Thy Angers touching all my euro 
To tenderness of peace 
Would make my longings cease: 
O Father! bend Thine ear and hear my prayer ! 
I hold bo much of every earthly bliss 
I should not e’er complain; 
And yet I pine in pain 
For some dear blessing that I want, and miss. 
1 cannot name it, Loiu>; 1 do not know 
If it should come to mo 
That I could dearly see 
It was the blessing 1 had prayed for so. 
So blind am 1; so vaguely and so dim 
Is my desire deilnod 
As yet within my mind; 
And yet I fancy It Is known to Him! 
Then All, O Lord ! my emptiness of heart; 
My weary longings still 
With Thine own holy will, 
And grant that peace wh Ich shall no more depart! 
-- 
MEANING OF SALVATION. 
Very many people seem to regard salva¬ 
tion as only a means to get to heaven by. So 
they are saved at lust from the terrors of the 
pit, they are content. Their solo wish is to 
reach the heavenly mansions; and salvation 
has for them no further meaning than a di¬ 
vine help to that end. 
But is this indeed all? Did the wondrous 
plan, having its center in Chiust, have no 
fuller intent? It is not enough that, man be 
saved from final death, in the future. He 
needs salvation from himself in the present,— 
salvation from all those belittling influences 
within which may not send him to perdition 
at the hist, but which cramp his Christianity, 
and dwarf liis usefulness, and eat out all his 
manly nobleness. 
Salvation from selfishness is a necessity 
for nearly all of us. Not that to be selfish, 
is verily to be lost; but that selfishness is 
antagonistic t.o the best Christian living. 
And hand in hand with selfishness go a 
score of other little sins,—not damning sius, 
exactly, more than that, but damaging sins, 
—which tell fearfully against a pure and 
upward reaching life. To save us from all 
these, salvation comes,—to preserve us from 
every mean impulse, every/degrading ten¬ 
dency. Offered in the oi '1 esos, it is 
not only an individual saiwuaon in the gen¬ 
eral sense, but it looks to every man’s per¬ 
sonality. It gives a beautiful example of 
manhood for us to pattern after,—manhood 
pure, unselfish, faithful, dutiful, tender, gen¬ 
erous, loving, humane, devoted, frank, fear¬ 
less, helpful. 
There is, in short, something of the divine 
left in us all, however debased we may be in 
sin. Tile grace of salvation would vitalize 
this lit lie germ anew, and make it take fresher 
root, and spring up in a glorious growth, 
throwing its branches out in every part of j 
our being, and bearing blessed fruit. Self, 
without this saving grace, will crush the 
Nero publications.

<5 It E AT SUCCESS! 
There are some people, says The House¬ 
hold, always looking out for slights. They 
cannot pay a visit, they cannot even receive 
a friend, they cannot curry on the daily in¬ 
tercourse of the family without suspecting 
some offence is designed. They areas touchy 
us hair-triggers. If they meet an acquaint¬ 
ance in the street who happens to he pre¬ 
occupied with business, they attribute liis 
abstraction to some motive personal to them¬ 
selves, and take umbrage accordingly. They 
lay on others the fault of their own irrita¬ 
bility. A fit of indigestion makes them see 
impertinence in everybody they come in 
contact with. Innocent persons, whenever f lne8 t instincts of humanity. Then let us 
II 
dreamed of giving offense, arc astonished to 
find some unfortunate word, or some mo¬ 
mentary taciturnity, mistaken for an insult. 
To say the least, the habit is unfortunate. 
It is far wiser to take the more charitable 
view of our fellow-beings, and not suppose a 
slight is intended unless the neglect is open 
and direct. After all, too, life lakes its hue, 
in a great degree, from the color of our own 
mind. If we arc frank and generous, the 
world treats us kindly. If, on the contrary, 
wc are suspicious, men learn to be cold and 
cautious to us. Let a person get the repu¬ 
tation of being touchy, and everybody is un¬ 
der more or less restraint; and in this way 
the chances of an imaginary offense are 
vastly increased. 
WELSH MARRIAGES. 
Tiie Welsh pursue au excellent practice 
on the occasion of a wedding of persons who 
have to labor for their bread. Each guest 
pays a shilling, which act, when the gather¬ 
ing is large, as it generally is, enables the 
young couple to make a start in life with 
their cow or pig; at all events, it provides 
them with articles of furniture, as there are 
sometimes two hundred persons assembled 
at a South Welsh Wedding. 
Iu former times, in South Wales, previous 
to a wedding, a herald with a crook or wand 
adorned with ribbons, used to take a circuit 
of the neighborhood and make Ids 44 bid¬ 
ding,” or invitation, in a proscribed form. 
But the knight-errant cavalcade on horse¬ 
back—the carrying off the bride—the rescue 
—the wordy war, in rhyme, between the 
parlies, which formed a singular specimen of 
mock contest at a Welsh wedding, is now 
almost, if not altogether, laid aside. In the 
neighborhood of Aberslwith, however, one 
writer declares he lias seen a cavalcade of at 
least a hundred of both sexes, with the bride 
mounted behind the bridegroom on a liard- 
trot ting nag, one remove from a cart-horse. 
pray, not only to be saved from eternal con¬ 
demnation, but. from self, and from all those 
meaner things selfish.

THE GREAT AUTHORITY. 
The mother of a family was married to 
an infidel who made jest of religion in the 
presence of his own children, yet she suc¬ 
ceeded in bringing them all up in the fear of 
the Lord. 1 asked her one day how she 
preserved them from the influence of a father 
whoso sentiments were so opposed to her 
own. Tins was her answer:—“ Because to 
the authority of a father Ido not oppose the 
authority of a mother, but that of God. From 
their earliest years my children have always 
seen the Bible upon niy table. This holy 
book lias constituted tlie whole Of their re¬ 
ligious instruction. 1 was silent that I might 
allow it to speak. Did they propose a ques¬ 
tion, did they commit a fault, did they per¬ 
form a good action—I opened the Bible, and 
the Bible answered, reproved or encouraged 
them. The constant reading of the Scrip¬ 
tures has wrought the prodigy which sur¬ 
prises you.”
