Uut I see him now with the great brick on his lap, with his hammer going crack, crack, but ?^somehow it didn't disturb one bit the sallies of fun and outbreaks of laughter round that tem pie. "And there was the clock?the clock that be longed to my greatgreat aunt, and that ticked away the lives of five generations, in one corner, reaching from tbe floor to the ceiling with the half moon on its face. What a history, what a biography that old clock was, set there in tho kitchen cornet; that had watched such b.ight hair turned to snow, such fair young foreheads grow dark and wrinkled under the burden of its years! And at last, when the hour hand crept up to nine,-grandpa would take his old fashioned bible, and the laughing eye and merry dimples would settle into gravity, as he read those bles sed words once read over his cradle, and that would soon be read over his grave! And fol lowing this, came the prayer that seemed to draw all hearts nearer to the gate of heaven! bo when all this was over, grandpa would take the iron shovel and heap the grey ashes on the glowing cone of fire just as the years heap the ashes on the glowing hopes and joys of youth; and grandma would fold up her stocking and stick the needles into the ball of yarn and sjiy i Come, children, it is time for honest people to go abed.' r r "And going hack there I shall miss them all grandma s white cap, and grandpa's silver hair,' and tho cluster of bright young faces round the tire in the autumn evening; but if they hadn't torn down the kitchen, 1 could have gone and sat by the birch fire and dreamed hi void dreams and brought them all back,.to.me; "but now its all gone?all gone?even the old kitchen and lire place, and Mildred Race bowed her head on her hands and wept. "The old kitchen fireside!" the'Oreside where our grandfathers read, and our grandmothers knit, are growing less throughout the land.? Cirim ghouls, in the shape of stoves and furna ces, are everywhere taking their places, and the reign of andirons and birch wood fires is grow ing less every year. Yet blessed be the old kitchen and mantletree and jamb! and blessed, too, the dreams that were builded out of those old birch-wood fires fair palaces and pleasant gardens, and that all beautiful country, the Future, and which have all turned, like an old kitchen fire, to ashes! G?"" The Dayton Empire relates a story of a young lady who had been receiving the address es of a rich farmer's son, near Dayton. The 'parient" was opposed to the match, and after the wedding was come, and the guests assem bled, prevailed on his son to "back out," wri ting the following letter of explanation; to widder M you kin rnarra your purty dater to sum of the Tellers as is alters running arter her?my john hes concluded to hull of he wont be thar sor go on with your rat killin, no more furever . , john S? sen Another lover who was present, offered to take John's place; and - the: lady, with great promptnessand propriety, consented.

The best and most accomplished Clergymen, Presidents and Professors in our Colleges and Seminaries, constantly contribute to. its pages. One of its chief features of at traction is a summary of intelligence from all religious denominations; a feature peculiar to the Observer and highly valued by Christians who wish to know what is doing in other com munities than their own. The grand object of the New York Observer is to promote "peace on earth and good-will among men." For this end it seeks to advance all those principles which make the Union of the Mates more firm and permanent; it culti vates harmony and good feeling among all de nominations of Christians; and is a fearless de fender of the rights of all men under the Con stnution of the United States and the Word of (ion. In its Editorial discussions, its foreign and do mestic correspondence, the vigor and beauty of its original contributions, and the attractions of its several departments in science, literature art, agriculture and commerce, the New York Observer is determined not to bo surpassed by any newspaper in any country. Resisting radicalism in Church and State promoting revivals of pure religion and every wholesome moral reform, on Scriptural and ra tional principles, discarding and opposing all schisms, humbugs, fanaticism, and every scheme of infidelity, socialism and vice, the Nete York Observer designs to be a safeguard of virtue law, and order, a champion of truth and righte ousness in the earth. ? ? 11 Is. tl!c cheapest newspaper of its class that is published.
