W. “ At evening time it shall be light. " An autumn of uncommon mildness and beauty had given place to one of those cold, dreary days, when the ice king gathers around him snow, sleet, and hail, and sends them forth on a wintry wind as precursors of his coming reign. The grates had still their sum- mer fixings ; and the pastor, suffering from recent illness, sat, with flushed cheek and hurried breath, shivering ; over the kitchen fire. There were quick j ‘ footsteps hurting to and fro, for warm hearts and willing hands were busily engaged in making the study comfort- able for “ dear Uncle Ellis. ” The tall, manly-looking nephew, and black-eyed, rosy-checked niece who were helping auntie, were cousins, who had come to brighten the pastor’s home by a. brief visit. Karl had just returned'from a successful‘fl‘busi‘ness experiment at the V'wâ€" _â€" - v. West, and was full of life and spirits. Ella, our pet and darling, was a very sunbeam, always loving and hopeful. “The study is ready, uncle. " How pleasant it looked with its cheer- ful fire, softened light, and the lounge with pillows and other et ceteras for a. temporary bed! And how comfortable the pastor felt, as he. lay tucked up after the most approved fashion ! “ I hope you have no engagements for today, ” said the anxious wife. “ Engagements 1” said Karl and Ella. in a breath ; “ as if Uncle Ellis could go out such a day as this, when he’s sick enough to go for the doctor, and have all sorts of nice things made for him in the bargain. ” .q. 1 9,7,-,,,l L- “I have a. wedding and funeral to attend, but a carriage will be sent for me, and I can go very comfortably. ” Ring, ringâ€"and the door-bell gave forth those quick, sharp sounds that tell of haste and urgency. .1 j UL IIWVV w--‘. “‘0‘ 7 VJ , “ Please sir, Mr. H. is very sick, and wants to see you real bad.” . p ”u ‘vI-n-v-v -v ~VV J , There was an appealing glance from the wife and looks of determined opposi- tion from Karl and Ella, but the pastor rose very quietly, with trembling hands put on rubbers, cloak, and cap, and went forth in that driving storm to visit the sick. Mr. H. was one of those poor persons‘ whom our Saviour has left as a legacy to his children, to be always with them: that the chain of love that links us to our fellow travellers may, by active benevolence, be kept bright and glowing. There was a wife and four little child- ;e.r;nhyâ€"thet sick bed. The pastor’s soothing words, his prayers and gifts, were like new life to the sufferer. Was he enabled to offer the prayer of faith- that saves the sick 'I We know not. but from that hour Mr. H. slowly recovered, and is now healthy, energetic, and pros- perousz 1,,,“ M- ___-_ .1--.“â€" nnnu Ink: v-v” Again the lounge was drawn near the fire, the room darkened, and uncle Ellis left to take a. nap pefqre dinner.

He hadlamasseda handsome fortune. Children and grandchildren were prosperous through his energy and forecast, and his last days were made singularly happyby his grateful descend- ants. “ How very tired you look, dear uncle ; I hope you can rest during the remainder oi the day. ” Another ring of the bell, faint, scarce- ly perceptible, as if touched by a. timid hand. One glance at the new comer, and our. sympathies were speedily excited. Poverty and sorrow were there. 1', j A very long line of carriages followed his remains to the cemetery, and they were filled by those who truly respected their departed friend. “ Please, sir, our little baby died yesterday. We are stranger-shew, and didn’t know who togo to, but if you will be so kind as to say a. prayer over our little Mary-J Sobs and tears finish- ed the sentence. There was no hesitation now. Ella. ran for the rubbers and cloak, to have them thoroughly warmed. “ Uncle, ” said Karl, “ you wrap yourself up as closely as possible, and I will drive you to the funeral in the buggy. ” “ Karl,” said Ella, takiné her bouquet from its vase, “baby won’t have a bean- tiful white wreath on her coflin as our darling little cousin had; take these flowers and put them in baby’s hand. ” ‘I,I .‘v u v.â€" â€"_n I"' A few poor neighbors had assembled in the house of mournsng.

A quick, bright flush of joy illuminated the mother’s face as the flowers met her eye. She looked eagerly around as if to pour forth her gratitude for such unexpected kindness. And then, as eagerly, she watched to see if her little baby might take the flowers with her to her lonely home. Yes, the coffin is closed, the flowers are there, and the mother’s heart is comforted. The cofin was placed in the pastor’s buggy. The parents and the poor neighbors formed the procession that followed baby’s remains. Doubtless these were unseen attendants, for angels love the little ones whom our Saviour has blast, end who will ere long become jewels in his crown of glory. - . .. . . ,A___:_,__J JV O'lagemogeit; the sfmpiy furnished parlor, which seemed rich and luxurious by contrast.

Pittsburg is in despair. The bursting of the great cast-steel gun at Annapolis the other day has buried the entire city in gloom. “ People of all classes,” says a Pittsburg paper, “appeared to take it as a personal matter." That Brobdignagian monster was Pittsburg’s pet. It was ex- filted to close the establishments of p and Armstrong and all other builders of built-up cannon. It was to make Pittsburg the city of great guns, the chief creator of chilled-steel destroyers Therefore when that enormous lump of highly protected metal was trundled off to be tested by the Government every Pitts- 1burger wished it good luck. For weeks i the citizens had bragged about the gun in public places and at their own firesides. hey loved it for the enemies it would re- duce to mince-meat. Fortunately through an oversight they neglected to name it “ Ben Harrison.” When the knowing Government ordinance officers at Anna- polis had loaded the precious piece of hard- ware they retired to bombproois and ad- jacent States to watch the result of the firing. Fifty pounds of powder and a 100 pound ball had been pushed down the ittsburger’s throat. The lanyard was pulled and the result wasâ€"chaos.
