HETERODOXY.
Pray thee, pot thy sermont by.
Vex my soul no more with creeds.
They are only stones and husks
To my hungry spirit's needs.
I am tired of striving sects,
With their various bigotry;
Ah! to me death holds no terrors,
But the fear of losing thee I
In a heaven apart from thee-
Could my exiled soul rejoice?
Could I join the angelsong.
Missing thence thy tender voice?
What to me were gates ot pear!,
If they parted thee and me?
What the streets so fair and golden.
If they parted thee and we?
Ah ! wherever after death
My still faithful soul may dwell,
Saints may call it bliss or woe.
They may name it heaven or hell;
By thee only, my beloved.
Shall my joy or pain be wrought;
I shall find my heaven beside thee.
Or a hell where thou art not.
OLD LETTERS.
BY M"S. D. M. JORDAN.
Only a bundle of yellow letters,
Faded, wrinkled and torn.
Tied with a ribbon thatlonce was blue,
Jn the time of my girlhood worn.
And yet they bring before' my gaze
The faces of long ago;
Some that lia 'neath the waving grass
And the winter's drifting snow.
And mm liv on the davs Mule back-
When the seals were broken with eager hand
And a throbbing heart that was luu 01 joy
To hear from a.distaut land.
They breathed of friendship, purel and warm,
Ana a love mat coma noccnange;
I read them now like one in a dream.
They seem so odd and strange.
It seems so very long ago
Since I was the joyous girl
Who sent in my letters sweet wild flowers,
And sometimes a glossy curl.
And oft in the forest, greenTandJwide,
'Neath soma broad-spreading tree.
With the song of the wild blni overhead,

handsome, stately woman bad been seen
in close conference with him.
It is certain that after an interval of
some twenty minutes he returned, yet
whiter than when' he went eat. with: the
large handsome woman by his side, also
looking extremely agitated ; and every
body saw the stranger walk, up to Mar-
Lam, gently touch her beautiful curls,
part one, and torn to the baronet, who
immediately, making an effort, to speak
and stretch out his hands, fell heavily

fusion was carried from the room.
"What does it all mean?" whispered
the alarmed crowd.
"What has happened V. cried Lady
Walden, springing like one frantic to
her feet.
"My sweet sister," said a low voice at
-iiariam'8 side, "my own darling sister,"
and her hand was clasped, an arm cir
cled her waist those deep blue eyes
rent in noiy love upon ners. lora Hen
ry stood beside her.
"Pray be calm," he added, la a lower
voice, leading her throtrsrh a near en
trance, Lady Walden following by the
teanui entreaty or tne stranger, "do
not let our mother hear you be calm
you tremble all shall be explained, my
sweet sister how could I help but love
you when I first saw you ?"
A faint shriek burst from the white
lips of Lady Walden, as they entered the
private room where sat the baronet,
leeoiy supporting nimseu, ana repeaani
again aad again: "My God, I than!
"My wife oh, let us be humble this
day ; come nearer, sweet child come and

"Praiseya the Lord,

Fast fell her tears upon the holy words
asshe murmured, "I do "praise Thee, oh!
my Heavenly Father; I do praise Thee
fori Thy wonderful care ana kindness."
"Amen!" said a low voice, and turn

the passionate embrace of her foster-mother.
"Believe that I love you as mueh as

she clung to her.
"My expiation is not yet done," re
plied Mrs. Le Dunlap, smiling through
her tears, and kissing her affectionately,
"I must explain to you all the circum
stances of your disappearance, and heav
en grant that I may not look thoroughly
contemptible and unpardonably sinful in
your eyes." Then she recounted to her
all the past, from her infancy to the pres
ent moment.
"It seems like a wild'romance," said
Lady Ainiee, lifting her wondering eyes,
"yet my sympathies are witn you but
did 'my father?" she shuddered, nor
did she finish the sentence.
"He wished me to tell you all. nor

Now, I can trace a silvery thread
In the hair that was once so brown;
And the dear old forest seems so far

The bird Is caged that sings to me now,
And beats his 'prisoned wings;
There seems a sad and weary 'plaint
In every song thatjhe sings.
And oft, when weary with many cares,
To my soul I whisper soft and low,
Would that the bird and I were free
To fly where the winds of heaven blow.
THE HOUSE III THE MEADOW.
It stands in a sunny meadow,
The house so mossy and brown.
With its cumbrous old stone chimneys,
And the gray roof sloping down.
The trees fold their green arms round it
The trees a centurv old.

had eagerly hung upon her every word ;
and now that she knew the extent of
her bliss, she was nearly overpowered.
And at tne worn mother, when she es
sayed to speak it, what new and wonder
ful feelings flooded in upon her heart.
Oh lit was- a fit scene for angels to re
joice over. And witb what mournful
tenderness did Lady Walden turn to
Mrs. Le Dunlap. "You have been,

they knew my word was true."
"You will not go soonr"2said Lady
Aimee, again laying her hand on the
shoulder of her foster-mother, for whom :
an intense lovethrilled every fibre of
her being, "oh I 1 cannot bear the
thought that with all this honor and

silently placed one arm about the old

'l am .Kuth, lather," she replied.
"Kuth father Buth father," he re

'it is me, rather, l am Kuth, the spirit

'Are you from heaven ?" he naively
asked.
'No," said Ruth, almost despairingly.
'but I am your Ruth."

'No, dear father," cried Ruth, sol

'here l am, come back to comrort them

'Heaven be praised," cried the old man,
with streaming eyes, letting fall his cane
as he raised bis hands reverently "God

"And vou do remember me then?"

moment, "Rose is dead she died did

from her knees,"I did not die I am Rose
do you not see me, living, waiting for
your blessing?" ,
For an instant the old man bent his
brow, and looked from side to side with
a wild glare then a strong light seemed
to spread all over his countenance he
lifted himself upright, seized. their hands
in his trembling grasp, and cried in a
loud, steady voice, "As God liveth are

As God liveth we are your children,"
said Ruth and Rose, solemnly, while

"Forever, aud ever, and ever," said
Lady Aimee, solemnly, still clinging to
her ; "oh ! my own dear mother," she
added, turning to Lady Walden, "you
will let me love her, won't you? she
has been an angel of goodness to me
she took me from poverty he cherished
me as she would her own, in a home of
luxury ; she has done moiy for me than

dearly, very dearly."
"Love her, my child," said a broken
voice, and Aimee was in a moment .by
her father's side, pressed again and again
to ms heart.
Meanwhile tne crowds below were
growing impatient. Everybody, it may
be supposed, had exhibited an unfathom
able amount of sagacity, protesting that
they had had a warning of it all; they
had thought of this remarkable coinci
dence, and the other wonderful feature;
and, above ail, had been impressed that
"something was going to happen
Lady Walden preferred being retired
for the remainder of the evening; but
voung Ladv Aimee entered the crest
saloon leaning upon the arm of her
father Lord Henry on the., other
side, his face absolutely radiant with his
new happiness. Then what congratu
lations? How wealth and loveliness,
youth and age united in welcoming the
long-lost pearl ; how beautiful seemed all
things the lights danced with a bril
liancy just acquired the bands had
pressed closer to the door, ' pouring in
triumph strains that moved the pulse
I with a qui ck, rapturous Deal the peas
antry filled all the air with their thril
ling shouts, and the Windows were
I crowded with honest faces, striving for
a glance at the new-tound lady-child or
the baronet. Happy voices resounded on
everv side, and in a kind of bewildering
I joy the young and lovely creature moved
The children have gone and left them;
They sit in the sun alonel
Andftiie old wife's ears are failing,
Aud she harks to the well-known tone
That won her heart in girlhood,
That has soothed her in manyTa care
. And praises her now for the brightness
Her old face used to wear.
She thinks again of her bridal
How, dressed in .her robe of white,
She stood by her gay young lover,
in the morning's rosy light.
O! the morn is as rosy as ever,
But the rose from her cheek has fled;
And the sunshine still is golden,
But it falls on a silvered head.
And the girlhood dreams, once vanished,
ome bark in her winter time.
Till her feeble pulses tremble
With the thrill of spring-time's prime.
And, looking forth from the window.
She thinks how the trees have grown.
Since, clad in her bridal whiteness,
blie crossed the old-door stone.
Though dimmed her eye's bright azure,
And dimmed her hair's vonng gold,
The love in her girlhood plighted
Has never grown dim or old.
They sat in peace in the sunshine
Till the day was almost done,
And then at its close an angel
Stole over the threshold stone.
He folded their heads together
He touched their eyelids with balm,
And their last breatli floated outward,
Like the close of a solemn psalm !
Like a bridal pair they traversed
The unseen mystical road
That leads to the Beautiful City,
Whose '-builder and maker is God."
Perhaps in that miracle-country.
They will give her her lost youth back,
And the flowers or the vanished spring-time I
Will bloom in the spirit's track.

"No, my love," returned Mrs. Le Dun

have stated the whole matter to your

"JButhis home is in America."
"True, and there, if you are faithful to

And eternal years shall measure
The love that outlasted time.

The wrinkles and silver hair

When the dav is low in the west.

Nor the winds disturb their rest.

crisis he sought the advice, not of his
enemies, but of his friends. To his con
victions he was ever true, but his opin
ions were ever subject to revision. He
delighted in parables, and especially in
the rude jokes of the South and the West
He hailed Artemus Ward and Petroleum
Nasby as benefactors of the human race,
and no witticism, whether delicate or
broad, escaped his keen appreciation. He
was, withal, a man of sentiment, reading
Shakspeare like a philosopher, and re
membering the best passages. A little
poem, written by Frances De Haes Jan
vier, of Philadelphia, called 'The Sleep
ing Sentinel,' was an especial favorite; ,
and 'The Patriots Oath' and 'Sheridan's
Ride,' by Thomas Buchanan Read, were
always recited at his request by Mr.
Murdoch, whenever that loyal actor vis
ited the metropolis. He was neither
boisterous nor profane. He cared little
for the pleasure of the 'table, and al
though reared among a frontier people,
largely addicted to intoxicating drinks, '
he preferred water as a beverage. He
liked the theatre, especially when Edwin
Forrest, Joseph Jefferson, Tohn Broug
ham, or JohnS. Clark was the star.
Though he frequently accompanied Mrs.
Lincoln to the opera, it was rather in
obedience to a social detnand or an eager
ness for rest in the corner of his box
than a taste for scientific music. He was
a capital peacemaker, and was especially
resolute in refusing to adopt the enemies
of his friends. He had a horror of mak
ing speeches, although a fine colloquial
orator, and when he did address the peo
ple it was in short sentences and only
for a few moments at a time. In these
addresses, as well as in messages and let
ters, he said things that will.survive ,for
generations. , . ,
I think I never saw him out of temper
but once, and that was when I presented
him the unanimous confirmation of a
certain person for a high office. 'Why
did the Senate not confirm Mr.
and Mn- ? My friends knew I
wanted this done, and I wanted it done
to-day;' and then he used certain strong
expressions against the successful person. ;
I looked at him with some surprise, nev
er having seen him in such a mood, and
said ; 'Why Mr. Lincoln, you seem to
hold me responsible for the act of the
Senate, when you must be aware of the
custom under which that body acted.'
'Oh, no,' was his reply, ,1 was not scold
ing you my friend, but I fear I have
been caught in a trap.'
Many a fierce conflict took place inhis
presence between angry politicians, but
it required a very strong provocation to
overbalance his judgement or his equa
namity. Not so, however, with an ap
peal for nercy; not so with a petition
from the poor. Here he was as weak as
a woman, and more than once mingled
his tears, with the gentler sex.
There are few parallels to such a char
acter, but many contrasts. -
The contrast between Lincoln and
Johnson may be illustrated by an inci
dent connected with the unhappy Fourth !
of March, 1865, when Andrew Johnson j
was inaugurated Vice President in the
Senate Chamber. I do not desire to see
the curtain rise before a scene that both !
parties seem willing to expunge the 1
Republicans who appologiscd for it
when it occurred, and the Democrats.
who regretted it after Johnson loined
their despairing columns. 1 But I can
never rorget iresident Lincoln's face as
he came into the Senate Chamber while
Johnson was delivering his incoherent
narrangue. Lincoln naa been detained
signing the bills that had just passed the
old Congress, and could not witness the
regular opening or the new Senate till
the ceremonies had fairly commenced.
He took his seat facing the brilliant and
surprised audience, and heard all that
took place with unutterable sorrow. He

Parallels or contrasts of character are
the most useful of biographies.: They
are like studies of different pictures
placed side by side. Take Abraham
Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. Lincoln
was almost untrained in statecraft. He
had been postmaster of a little town, had
served four successive terms in the Legis
lature of Illinois, and one in Congress ;
was the only Whig from Illinois from
1847 to 1849, taking his seat just as Doug
las took his in the Senate. Looking
through the debates we find Lincoln the
most modest of members. His utterances
were forcible and few. It is easy to de
tect the quaint humor that figured so
prominently in his atter-actions, but
that the new loan will be-Speedily taken
up and the . national ; debt rapidly de
creased. Mr. J or king enjoys to an emi
nent degree the commence ot tne punnc
men of the nation. ' Brought in close
contact with the Executive, he has given
us mueh valuable information about the
next Presidential canvass. . He also en
joys the confidence of. those eminent
philanthropists, Peter Cooper and Peter
Welker." ;
This passage was profusely marked
with ink lines. Alas, Jorkingl. He is
not the only clerk who thus imposes on
his rural editor. But this publicity was
not the only triumph of Jorking. His
M. C. he always calls him " my mem
ber of Congress," as if be had some es
tate in him, while the fact is the reverse
his honored Member delivered an ora
tion on the natal day of pur independ
ence. - This effusion was printed. The
title-page was quite a curiosity in its

delighted audience, by the Hon. Samuel

Keystone of our Independences - - ;:

The title-page was only exceeded by
the cream of the discourse between the
covers. Scraps of patriotic songs,' reli
gious homilies;' Biblical and anti-Biblical
quotations were slung together iu a
heterogeneous mass. . Of argument , it
contained none of highfalutin and bal
derdash much, and wound up with the
following classical lines:'' '
"God bless the goose that grew the
quill that wrote the emancipation pro
clamation." , .. .. ...
This highly entertaining reading mat
ter was sent by Jorking to each of his
fellow-clerks, under the frank of his
distinguished M. C. Right across the
title-page were the inky words terrific
as if written with the point of the sword
of liberty " Compliments of Jorking."
Nineteen revolutions of this mundane
sphere has brought Jorking back to us. i
The scenes of rural bliss and agriculture
have lost him. The linsey-woolsey gal
ligaskins and woolen shirt are thrown
aside, and, clad in Tooler's latest fit,
Jorking disports himself upon the Ave
nue, and tells wondrous tales of eon
quest among the artless country belles. ;
Tis his delight, while rehashing these
innocent scenes with some rural Chloe,
to hear the timid reproaches of the gen
tle Arabella, as she taps his wooly pate
with . her . wooden fan, and . exclaims.
" You.naughty man !" Happy J orking !
Innocent and confliing Arabella!" Jor

The piano fortej which seems to have
been derived from a combination -of -the
clavichord and the spinet, was first in
vented in the early part of the 18th cen
tury. Bartolommeo Christofalli before
1711 appears to have been the original
inventor, but Christopher Schroter sug
gested, the name in 1717, by the oDserva
tionjthat it could befclayed "eitherorte or
piano." ine same expression is iouna
in the title or a patent granted to jonn
Harris in 1730, for ' "a new invented
harpsichord upon which (having only
two sets of strings may .be performed
either one or two unisons and one octave
together, or the fortes and pianos, of
loud and soft, and . the contrary may
be executed as quick as thought, and al
so double basses, by. touching . single
keys." The first piano known to have
been in icngiana was nrougnx irom uer
many in 1757, and ten years afterwards,
1767, one was -advertised , at Convent
Garden Theatre as a new instrument.
The earliest patent granted in England
relating to this subject was taiten out oy

Grace Greenwood, writing from Den

It renders them especially name to at

who had been out playing, ran into the
house in a state of great excitement, say

gulch near by. - At his entreaty his
mother went out to look at them, but
nothing of the kind was to be found.
She became incredulous, and said at last:
'1 don't believe you saw any antelopea:
it must have been your Imagination, my
child.' To this the little mountaineer
indignantly responded: 'Humph! I
guess my imagination isn't white behind. '
