THE HYING AHD THE DEAD.
f"No monument, not even a tablet, has been
raised over grave of THADDIUS STIVIJTB, and on
Decoration Day it was with difficulty his resting
place could be ideniifled."—Daily Jbper, June, 1871]
The living man was known to each and all
His friends applauded his foes, they fought
The brave old Spartan for the strokes ho gave—
The noble work he wrought.
The listener hung in transport on his words
The reader eager drank the printed page
The patriot's heart witn admiration throbbed—
With passion foes did rage.
So long as wrinkled flesh and wasting frame
Tottered upon this side the Jortlon flood,
The world groped not in mist, for all could see
Where STEVENS stood.
But, lo I the flesh was wasted, and the eye
No longer flashed with fire in warm debate
The lips no longer wondering listeners moved
With either love or hate. w.
The mourners were a multitude their grief
Seemed deep, and as eternal as the years
Wails came om cot and cabin all the land
Was bathed in saddest tears.
But, lot tho years, scarce starting on the road
To trump the fame unto the human race,
Find naught of tablet or of monumont
To mark his resting place.
Such is the common lot The barque of life
Sails on more swiftly as the years roll by
The dead give place to moving forms of life,
Forgotten they who die.
THE STREAM.
"Now on the polished stones
It danced like childhood laughing as it went
Then, through the plain in tranquil wandering*
crept,
Reflecting every herb and drooping bud
That overh mg its quietness. 0 stream
Whose source is inacessibly profound,
Whither do thy mysterious waters tend
Thou imagest my life. Thy darksome stillness,
Thy datsling wave, thy loud and hollow gulfs,
Thy searchless fountain, and Invisible course
Have each their type in me."
—Shelly.
SWEET SALOME.
(CONTINUED FROM LAST WEE
He was absent an entire week, and
Salome had tho chance ol realizing for
the first time how long a week may be,
in spito of three delightful loiters that
woke ail the slumbering pulses of her
heart, but to which sha replied not a
word. Why? He had not asked her,
forsooth he had only asked, Would
she bum those he might choose to
write Burn them She would quite
as soon put her own hand to theflame
they were apart ot him, the picture of
his thoughts, the vital expression of his
being.
It was a sad cross that the very day
he had fixed lor his return she must at
tend a dinner-party at tho house of a
friend some miles away. It seemed to
her, in thefirstplace, that th dinner
would never have a beginning, and
secondly, that it would never have an
end and then, was the way home ever
so long before? With Kitty and Hild
reth cooing in one corner of the coach,
and wishing it would creep on forever.
But vexation was all forgotten when,
spurring up the drive, she could plainly
dosory M'Gregor and Thorpe sitting on
the piazza, enveloped id a drifting
cloud uf incense like two Norse gods.
M'Gregor threw his cigar away as
tbey drew up, and came down to meet
her.
"Salome," said he, lifting her from
the carriage, "I have lived a whole week
without a word from vour lips."
"It was not the first experiment ot
the kind, I fancy," she answered, lijh
ly. "If I'm not mistaken, jou lived
and thrived some thirty years or more
without it."
"True. Bat what a miserable exist
ence Bid you receive my letters
looking into her eyes.
"Yes," the color mounting.
"Bid you devote them to the
flames?"
"And what if I did?"
"It was very proper, no doubt they
held 'words that burn/ did tbey not
"I'm sure I don't know, Mr. M'Greg
or. Won't you tell me whatyou've been
seeing and enjoying
'Tve been constantly seeing this mo
moot, inTny mind's eye, and enjoying
the prospect/'
"It'e impossible for you to talk rea
sonably, I believe. If you aten't going
to be entertaining I shall say good
night."
Tbey had reached' the foot of the
staircase in their talk, and stood there
delaying in the dimly-lighted ha'l, as if
something were yet to be uttered.
"Won't you say good-night to me
asked Salome, giving him her hand.
"Those people were so tiresome that I'm
already half asleep."
"This is my good night," said he,
and before she could have spoken he
had stooped and left a kiss on her lips.
For an instant the spirit of the Tres
hams stirred angrily within her then
she turned and went up to her room
sobbing beneath her breath, "If
henot
loved me he would never have stolen
what would not give but in her
dreams that long, lingering touch still
burned upon her lips and made the
heart beat double meanure.
The next morning she did not go
down to breakfast ct the usual hour, r,
as much as the kiss was sweet—which
fact conscience would not allow her toheart
evade—so much she meant to deny
herself the equal sweetness of bis pres
ence besides, she argued, it was well to
•how disapproval of his conduct. Bnt
all this was to no purpose' M'Gregor
waylaid her the moment her foot was on
the stairs: and whether it was owing to
his sudden appearance, or to a treacher
ous carpet-rod, she tripped, and would
have fallen headlong but that he put
out an arm and saved her.
"When the heavens fall we catch
larks," said he. "You were offended
with me last night?" he questioned,
still holding her fast "I confess that I
did wrongly—may perhaps be tempted
agaiu-^willyott forgive me 7" With his
strong arm detaining her, his daring
eyes devouring her, his lips only sepa
rated from hers by ever so little it was
possible that he might be tempted
Hgain.
"If you will let me gi, Mr. M'Greg
or," refusing to meet his glance.
"Go where Is not this your place,
Salome Philosophers have said in vain
that whatever wo love is ours, if you
are not mine. Salome, dear child, do
not turn your face away. 1 love you
Her eyes were dnwn to his now,
those beautilul clear orbs, swimming in
a lustre half way between smiles and
tears, as it such happiness were too big
tor belief, too dear br doubt then the
lids dropped under a rain of tender
kisses, and Sweet Salome was indeed
won.
What swift, delightful days were
thoe that followed, whether they walk
ed abroad in the holiday fields, or
mounted horse and rode to catch tho
odor of pine woods whether they sang
or kept a sacred silence. To Salome
these fow weeks were the poem of the
year, and had she died on. that last day
bhe might have deemed it only the sub
limation of an existence that had al
ready exhausted earth and its pleasures.
It was afresh page she bad opened ot,
by chance as it seemed, a page illumi
nated as no monk ever dreamed in
spite of scourge and fasting through
which his brain might soar to dazzling
heights of fantasy. She had had lov
ers before, it is true, bad speculated
and spoken upon the marvelous influ
ence, but never before for her had love
"filled all the stops of lite with tuneful
breath."
In the mean time, if it was a sen
sation less novel to M'Gregor, it was
none the less absorbing, none tho less
strong and enduring. To-day tbey lo?ed
and enjoyed to the uttermost to-mor
row might come storms, or clouds, or
disaffeition, but to-day was their own,
with all its bright entanglemeuts.
They were sitting together one morn
ing as usual, Salome crocheting some
delicate mystery in brilliant wool, while
M'Gregor read Irom the last new poem,
when the letters frotc the mail were
brought in.
"I must run up to town at once,"
said M'Gregor hastily scanning a busi
ness scrawl.
"And Aunt Parry," returned Salome,
"has sent for mo she has a foreign
minister in town, 'whom I shall find it to
my advantage (o know.'
"Wo have parried that stroke,"
said M'Gregor.
"Yes. But I shall humor her to the
point of making a flying visit there
while you are off. In the mean time 1
shall say nothing of other views 1 en
tertain concerning the disposal of my
precious self, and it will be exceedingly
amusing to watch her manoeuvres."
"It may be fun to you, but death to
me."
Salomo made no reply. She bad torn
open another envelope, and was grow
ing by turns hot and cold over a para
graph contained therein. It was only
a word or so that followed in the cur
rent of gossip, a straw as it were, it
may be giving signs ot a tornado:
"I hear that, Thorpe is entersing the
fascinating August M'Gregor, who, by
the-way, was so kind as to iniorm Col
onel Alston that be meant to marry
you Prenes grade. Bon't bo caught
in such a snare."
"He was so sure as that," she
thought, still keeping silence 'so very
sure."
"What disturbes you, Salome?'
asked M'Gregor, who had been regard
ing her. "There is something in that
letter about me, is there not
"I ought to congratulate you on the
success of your plans," she said, meet
ing his eye as coldly as it was possible
for her to do
k(but
the old proverb
warns us that there's many a slip be
tween the cop and the lip," and she
gave him the letter.
"Colonel Alston," ho roplied.
"Pshaw You don't let such trifles an
noy you, Salome, dear I dire say I
may have made some such remark on
the impulse. Ay, I recollect now that
he was so good as to warn me friends
are so officious, love," coming to kiss
her forehead and burning cheek.
"If I moant to marry you, it could
have been only that I meant to
love you You wanted me to love you
without meaning it, in defiince of an
opposite resolve—wasn't that it
"Perhaps so. I see it was nothing,"
shq returned, smiling graciously. "Af
ter all one knows what one can and can
do and thus the subjjet dropped,
and next night they were nrles apart.
"A month without you, love," he
had said in parting "but what if ithad
were to be a lifetime 1 What if I should
die, or you should change'(" But she
only hid her tears, shuddering at thenight
thought, without words for replying.
It was a ride to gladden a sadder
than that of Salome—a ride
through country just touched with the
beauty of the deolining year, where the
ripened leaves fluttered like a rain ot
nold and scarlet wings through all the
silent air, and the afternoon sunshine
lay in solid drifts along the furrows of
brown fields, tangling itself among wild
vines and ragged mosses, and dusting
the. noddiog ashberries and sumach
plumes and when she reached her
destination in the chill twilight there
was something genial in the bright
wood-fire, with all its ruby and violet
flames, flickering and falling only to
soar again and vanish in a whirl of
smoke into the lonely night ouside
something cheerful to find Aunt Parry
in tier silver silks and ewels sitting be
fore it in light tete-a-tete with her for
eign minister. The Baron proved to
be an amiable elderly gentleman, full of
romance and sentimentality, who took
a sudden and fatherly interest in
Salome, which Aunt Parry interpreted
quite otherwise buj as he bad lived for
many years a bachelor, and indulged in
the further consolation of taking snuff,
from an exquisitely jeweled box, Salomo
felt no compunctions, and it was out of
pure good nature that she flattered
Aunt Parry's ambitious heart by going
out with him wherever he wished to
go, whether at reception or opera—it
mattered little to herself, 60 long as she
was separated from M'Gregor, whether
her companion were a garrulous baron
or a quiet blockhead.
Thus it happened that she found her
self at the opera one night listening to
the fluting, of some Prima Donna. "A
pretty little bird,'' said the Baron, be
tween the parts—who spoke excellent
English—while Salome fluttered her
rose-leaf fan dreaming of M'Gregor,
and the violins' appealing adagio
swept into passionate ecstasy and rose
in tense staccato far above the clavier
of the other instruments, till the danc
ing-girls of the frescoed ceiling seemed
to swim indolently on this billow of
harmony. When the sweet tumult
had given placo to silence the Baron
was still found to be speaking Salome
did not know how long he had been
thus employed, but she now caught
the words:
"She was a perfect hunmibg-bird,
a'Will-o'-the wisp.'"
"I beg your pardon," said Salome,
then "the music was so exacting that
I lost the thread of your remarks. Of
whom wero you speaking?"
"Our Prima Bonna. She recalls to
me a little French girl, Cerise, who
broke the heart of her good American
husband."
"Cerise! Her husband!" faltered
Salome, dropping the look of merely
ciril interest, and blanching at the
lips. "Cerise
"Yes, Cerise. You never heard
the name perhaps, and dear child but
it suited her," he was so good as to ex
plain "she looked like a cherry she
was sush a little atom of beauty, with
out much soul, or perhaps, to carry out
the comparison, she had a stone at the
core. Quite a romance, quite a ro
mance—I'll tell you about it but
first turn your lorgnette to the right
and tell me who is in the box opposite,
your ejes are younger than mine."
"I do not see any one, Baron Lan
stadi."
"No mattor, no matter perhaps he
has withdrawn. It was a trifling coin
cidence merely, a—what is it you call
it ?—an hallucination. It was be
cause had the story in my mind, per
haps, that the face presented itself to
me iu the flesh at it were. Do you
know, Mademoiselle, I am such a do
tard that because I ppoke of Cerise I
must needs see her husband, poor iel
low*, in the opposite box. She has not
lost all influence over him yot, if her
mere name can conjure him," added
the Baron, who was the least bit super
stitious, withal.
Salomo trembled, and drew her cape
about her shoulders. It seemed to her
that some thing troubled the lights,
that some great pain was falling like
a cloud about her, fold upon fold,
shutting out the sweet words, the
beaming faces, enveloping her in
blackest ruin.
"The story," she said, as the Baron
paused—"the story 1 am listening."
"Oh yes—the story. I was looking
at the haunted box again I thought
I saw the appearance. I knew his faca
well at Boulogne, though I never ex
changed a syllable with him. Here
too no one could help observing such
a lovely sprite, even among a crowd of
pretty grisettcs.
"How did you come to know about
the story she found voice to ask.
After all, she Was disturbing herself
for naught, perhaps. It had probably
nothing whatever to do with her in
terests.
"How? Oh, my dear, it was inallowed
every body's mouth, the ingratitude
was so—so detestable. Listen then.
This Cerise, it appears, was a beggar
in the sreets of Boulogne, living on
ctusts in squalor. All day long she
entreated Irom door to door, sometimes
singing for a mouthful, and at night
time she crept into some heap of straw
and slept the sleep ot the innocent
But one morning, in the damp season,
she awoke with a sharp pain, her
tongue was parched, her face on fire,
her limbs cramped and useless. She
not tasted of food for the twenty
four hours and a pestilent fever had
seized her. So she lay in ber den till
came on, when she drew herself
out on her hands and knees, and beg

were thousands, you know, some of
whom paid her no heed, while others
threatened her with the police onlv

that time at Boulogne in charge of
the French branch of an American
mercantile house—this young man
paused and questioned her, took her
home with him in his carriage, sent for
doctors and nurses, and never left her
himself through all the dangers of her
disease. Then when health returned

"Lovora of their own selves."
"What, my son and what, the son of my womb 1
and what the son of aj TOWS 1"
"Chasten the son while there is hope, and let not
thy soul spare for his crying."
IX Tim. 1. Prov.xxxi. 2. ProT. xiz.28.
The perversity and waywardness of
the child is not the only, and perhaps
the chief bind rance to a mother, in
the exercise of a firm, conscientious dis
cipline.
To see her child merry and happy is
her hourly delight its gleeful laugh
is music in her ears in correcting it
sin inflicts much more pain upon her
own feelings than upon tho child to
"spare her soul" the sound of his pite
ous "crying," she will refrain from
thwarting bis fancies, or unreasonable
desires, and neglect the needful meas
ures of restraint.
Alas, fond mother! Too surely will
this weak self-indulgence bring forth
its legitmate fruit for the child thus
"left to himself, bringeth his mother to
shame."
In nine cases out of ten his conduct
is "bitterness to her that bare him
in the natural course of cause and
ef-tle,
fect, the neglected child will "consume
the eyes, and grieve the heart" of
theobeyed,
weak, doting parent.
In calling this laxity of discipline
self-indulgence, and attributing it to
self-love, we speak advisedly.
Let the Christian mother regard her
child not only as apart of her own life,
in tho strong natural affection she bearb
toward him, but as the mother of Sam
uel expressed herself, tha son "f ^er
vows" as well, of vows which .y
quire much selt-donial and pai .ful ef
fort on her part, but which must be
fulfilled, as she values the eternal well
being of tho child entrusted to her.
He that rnletb (let him do it) witlfdiligcnce."
"Uo as thon hast said."
"The double-minded man is unstable in all his
ways." Bom.zii.8. I. Kings, xvii.12. James i. 8
In order that discipline may be of
any-avail, it is necessary that it be
firm, steady and uniform not depend
ing upon the caprice or circumstances
vi the moment, but, as the child will
soon learn tc preccive, upon high and
unwavering principle.
What o-o be more injurious to a
child than to be at times severely pun
ished for aots of disobedience, such as,
on other occasions, and for reasons
quite beyond his comprehension, are
to pass unnoticed beneath the
parent's very eye
Ot course the child, not knowing
when the parent may be in the humor
to enforce a eommand, will often dis
obey in hope of escaping the threat
ened penalty, and when punishment
follows, it will irritate in proportion as
it was unexpected.
A great deal may be accomplished
in the guidance and moulding of chil
dren, in minor matters, by persuasive
tact, without positive commands and
rules.
In many points, in the daily man
agement of active, heedless children,
there is more call for the patient "line
upon line and precept open precept,"
of gentle admonition, than for the di
rect exercise of authority.
A wise parent will avoid unnecessary
collision with the will of a child but
at the same time, when a direct Bcm
is given, will never allow it to be
evaded, or disregarded.
It is wonderful with what ingenui
ty a very young child, even, will at
tempt to break through the parental
authority by watching an opportuni
ty when the parent is tbooght to be
off from her guard by playful, coaxing
arts, to avert displeasure or by ventur
ing only a little way oh the path of
of disobedience.
In the case of sickly, nervous ohil*
dren, it is judged by many that the ex*
eroise of a firm authority is harsh and
and lived happily till* dashing Au I uncalled tor that inch a suffering lit*
tie one should be allowed its own way
when it cannot be coaxed into com
pliance with the wishes of its parents.
Oo the contrary, it is the greatest
mircy to such a child to teach it to
yield implicit obedience to authority.
This habit once formed, the child may
be saved from much suuering by the
interposition of the calm, steady tone of
command.
"Provoke not joar children t: anger, least the/
be discouraged."
"Wars them that are tinruly, comfort the feeble*
minded, support the w.-.k, be patient toward all."
"Grerious words stir up anger."
Col. hi.21. 1. Thes. v.U Pror. 1
In speaking of jarental authority,
wo aro by no means to picture to our
minds a stern, unbending discipline
arian, with uplifted rod, ready to check
all the gushing impulses of childhood.
This species of government is is far
from the spirit of the Bible,
as the laxity and fond indulgence
which it so severely reprehends.
Nor is it often found necessary, in a
well governed family, to resort to
severe punishment far less frequently
will this occur than where the authori
ty is fitfully asserted aod irregularly
maintained.
We cannot too carefully remember
that the discipline of a Christian
household must be gentle and loving,
as well a? firm and steady. St. Paul
twice utters the injunction, "Provoke
not your children to wrath," which
uiay help us to realize how prone are
even affctionate and well-meaning pa
rec a to fall into this error.
A harsh tone in commanding, or
"grievous words" mingling with a need
ed admonition or deserved rebuke, is too
often a source of real unhappiness to an
amiable child, and of angry and rebel
lious emotions in the case of a stout
hearted offender.
Besides let us not forget that our
children can readily discern between
reproofs given in irritation or resent
ment and those which are prompted by
love and administered with Christian
gentleness. The former can but arouse
the evil passions of the child aod di
minish the influence of the parent,
wbilo the latter will seldom fail to
touch the heart.
As has been well said, "Commands
which evidently flow from love natural
ly dispose the heart to obey a ehild
sees no hope of escaping from a system
of discipline that seems to arise from
the tenderness of a parent"
A supreme love for the souls of our
children, and a deep sense of our re
sponsibility to God, oan alone inspire
and enable us to maintain that gentle,
yet firm, authority which we have en
deavored to describe, and which is
moat invaluable aid in "training up a
child in the way ho should go."

English letters Bay that the marriage
of the Princess Louise with the Mar
quis cf Lome was nit, according to late
Eoglish gossip, by any means the love
match it has been popularly supposed
to be, aod the wedded pair are far fiom
being happy together. Humor has it that
the Princess inherits hermother's quick
temper, and the two women had such
frequent quarrels that the peace of
the royal domestic circle was quite
destroyed. The marriage of the Princess
and her residence elsewhere being the
only resource in the emergency, a cer
tain number of youig noblemen were
selected and invited to Windsor Cas
and the Princess required to choose
a husband fron among them. She
and her choice fell on the young
Marquis, but there was no more love
between them than usually attends sueh
business-like arrangements. The re*
suit has been, that the Princess' tern*
per is as bad as ever, only it is exercis
ed on anew object. The exclusion of
tlio Marquis from the royal circle, and
the consequent separation ot him from
hi- TI state occasions,is said to
be .. fb .sa conjug-d differences,
and not to any law of etiquette, It is
even reported that not long ago the
Queen was sent for, and went down to
Claremont, the residence of the young
couple, to prevent a complete rapture.

Bulwer says that poverty is only
an idea, in nine cases out of ten.
Some men with ten thousand dollars a
year suffer more for want of means than
others with three hundred. The rea
son is, that man has artificial wants.
His iocome is ten thousand dollars, and
ho suffers enough from being dunned
for unpaid debts to kill a sensitive man.
A. man who earns a dollar a day, and
does notranin debt, is the happier of
the two. Yery few people who have
never been rich will believe this bnt
it is truo. There are thousands and
thousands with princely incomes who
never know a momenet's peace, because
they live alove thier means. There is
really more happinncss in the world
among workiog people than with those
who are called rich.
