BVRIDAY MAKCH 16, 1877. OCT IN THE COLD. With blue cold bands and stockingless feet. Wandered a child in the cheerless street: Children were many, who boused and fed, Lovingly nestlod, dreaming In bed Caroled their Joy in a land ol bliss, Without a care or thought of thla; They were warm with humanity's fold, But thin little child was out in the cold Out in the cold! Bleak blew the wind through the cheerless sleet. Dashing along the merciless street, All furred and shawls, man, woman and child Hurried along, for the storm grew wild; They could not bear the icicle's blast, Winter so rude on their pathway was east, Alas! none pitied no one consoled The little wanderer out in the cold Out in the cold! She bad no father, she bad no mother. Sisters none, and never a brother! They had passed on the star-world above She remained here with nothing to love "Nothing to love!" Oh men did not know What wealth of Joy that child could bestow, So they went by and worshipped their gold, Leaving the little one out in the cold Out in the cold! Wandered she on till the shades of night Veiled the shivering form from sicht: Then with her hands crossed over her breast, She prayed to her Father in Heaven for rest. When hours had fled 'neath the world's dark frown Hungered and chilled, she laid herself down; .uivj uuwu iu rest wmie tue weaitny roueu In carriages, passed her out in the cold Out in the cold! Out in the cold lo! an antral form Brought her white robes that were rich and warm Out In the cold on the sleeping child! The sainted face of a mother smiled; A sister pressed on her brow a kiss lied her 'mid scenes of heavenly bliss; And angels gathered into their fold That night the little one out in the cold Out In the cold! Grandmother's Story. BV OEOKOE 3IARSII. "Well, Aggie, you want me to tell you about your Aunt Agues. It will be hard for you to understand about ber. because times have changed since she was little like you. Let rue see it was twenty years last fall, since she died. "We lived on a farm in Central New York, about two miles from a little vil lage, where we went for groceries and to meeting, when the roads were good. Your Aunt Agnes was our youugest child. She was a strange girl. We kept a good many men, and there was a reat deal or work. The boys, that is, your father and Uncle Giles, were away at college, and they were costing your grandfather a sight or money. We had to be saving: not that we did not have what was good enough, but we could not hire a girl, when we had two of our own. My health was poor. Your grand father was always scolding me for work ing so much, instead of making the girls do it. "Your Aunt Susan would take hold and work lively, but Agues had no am bitiou. She would drag about all day, as if she were dreaming. All she cared for was reading. Every time she got a chance, she would take a book, go off by herself, and read. She had been to the district school, and had as good an education as any one; but she was not satisfied; she wanted to go away to school. I don't know what would have become of her, if we had let her have her own way. "After your Aunt Susan married, Ag nes grew worse. We began to be afraid she would be an old maid. The summer she was twenty, Mr. Green came to preach in our church. I think he made up his mind to marry Agnes before he saw ner, tor he took uo notice of ber in difference, and asked her to be bis wife, But la! she wouldn't marry him! Then your grandfather and I got out of pa tience with ber, but Mr. Green kept on trying to court her all winter. He was having a hard time of it. His wife had just died, and left a little baby, besides three other children; the oldest wasn't nine years old, and he had no one to look after them. He hired a girl, but it was expensive, and she would not take care of things. They did have the most distressed house-keeping I ever saw. Well, he needed a wife, if ever a man did. "One Monday Agnes wore a very long face. She did not say anything, but I exw me tears run down her cheeks and fall into the tub, as she stood washlnjr, I knew she was mad. I just told her she ought to be ashamed of herself for being so ungrateful, when she was hav ing so much done for her; few mothers would 6tand what I did; people didn't expect, when they had girls, that they wouiu oe ooiigea to Keep them always, du uiu not answer me. That night I heard a noise. I got up to see what it was. I looked through the key-bole of Acnes' door, and there I saw her in her night-dress, walking me uoorana crying as n sue were crazy, I heard her say. 'O God. let me die ' opened her door and told her to stop such nonsense and go to bed; that I guessed she would fiud God did not let people die just when they wanted to. heard no more from her that nlirht. "The nextday shelooked awrulglum At night, when she bad finished iron, Ing, she cams out where I was sitting, and said: 'Mother, vou mav tell Mr. Green that I will marry him as soon as you use. iou Know l nave never asfcetl ror anything but an education, a chance with my brothers to make mv way in the world. You, for the sake of a little money, have doomed me to life of drudgery and isolation, and you win oe respousioie tor tne consequences. "I told her I knew her wickedness would bring some awful judgment upon uer, ana is uia. wen, we sent lor Mr. tureen, ana told him just how it was. Agnea was willing to marry him, but she had a dreadful temper, and he would have to look out for it. Mr. Green was a pretty-spoKen man. He said, 'The fai sex must be indulged in their little Whims.' They were married in two weeks, our grandfather gave them the hand somest house and lot in the village, and a great piece of woodland besides. He said It was worth five thousand dollars altogether. That was what he paid for the boys' places. He always said he would treat his children alike, aud he uiu. "The church couldn't give the minis ter much money, but we saw that they had things comfortable. Agnes and the baby seemed to take to each other right a way. I was very busy that summer. I had hired a girl, but she would not do anything as I had been used to having It done, so I didn't get down to see Ag nes more than twice during the sum mer. I remember some one told me they thought Mrs. Green looked con sumptive. I said, 'She always had a pale look, but she was well aud strong.' "One night, late in the fall, one of her neighbors came and woke us and told us to get Into his wagon as soon as possible. Agnes was very sick. The moment I saw her, I knew she was dy ing. I thought of her unprepared soul, and I said, 'Agnes, let me send for some one to pray for your salvation.' "'Mother,' said she, 'I am almost gone. I want to see the baby. JLeave me alone with him for a little while.' "I took the baby to her and went into the next room. I saw him put his little arms around her neck, and pat her cheek, and try to make her play with him; but she only hugged him closer and kissed him again and again. I went to take him awav she was dead! The baby cried and clung to her, and seemed surprised that she did not notice mm. "It was a terrible blow to your grand father and me, to have ber die so sud den and unprepared; but when the Lord sends affliction, we must bear It. "Sfour father always upheld Agnes. When you were born he would have you named after her. He thiuks you are like her, but! don't." Uather is richt. Don't vou know. grandma, I am going to Vassar Col lege?" That is well enouuh; vour father can aflord It." "But yoii sent father to college." "Well, Aggie, you are not old enough to understand that times are different now." 'I understand more than von think. grandma; and I am thankful things are not as they used to be." Woman'' s Journal. A Bachelor's Defense. Bachelors are styled bv married men. who have put their foot into it, as only half-perfected beinirs cheerless vaga bonds, but half a pair of scissors, and many other titles are given them; while on the other hand they extol their state as one of such perfect bliss that a change irom earth to heaven would be some' what of doubtful good. If they are so happy, why don't they enjoy tneir happiness, and bold their tongues about it? What do half the men get married for? Simply that they may have somebody to darn their stock ings, sew buttons on their shirts, and trot their babies that they may have somebody, as a married man once said, "to pull on their boots when they are a little balmy." These fellows are always talking of the loneliness of bachelors. Loneliness indeed! Who is petted to death by ladles with marriageable daughters? invited to tea and to evening parties, and told to drop in just when it is convenient? The bachelor. Who lives in clover all his days, and when he dies has flowers strewn on his grave by the girls who couldn't entrap him 7 The bachelor, Who strews flowers on the married man's grave? His widow? Not a bit of it; she pulls down the tombstone that a six-weeks' grief has set uo in her heart. aud goes aud gets married again, she does. Who goes to bed early because time hangs heavily on his hands? The mar ried man. Who gets a scolding for nicking out the softest part of the bed. aud for waking up the baby when he turns out in the morning 7 The married man. Who has wood to split, house hunting, and marketing to do, the young ones to wash, and the lazy ser vants to look after? The married man Who is taken up for whipping his wife 1 The married man. Who gets divorced ? The married man. Finally, who has got the Scriptures on bis side? The bachelor. St. i'aul knew what he was talking about "He that marries does well; but he that marries not does better." A mysterious stranger, who had made a mistake as to the quantity of wine that was necessary for him the other day, made his way into the dininc- room of an up-town club, and ordered a dozen of oysters, a steak, and a bottle of Sauterne. The waiter, not kuowine the intruder, was about to execute the order, when two or three members of the club compared notes, and, as no body knew him, came to the conclu sion that he was not a member. There upon the waiter was sent to demand whether he was one. "I don't know about any club," re sponded the mysterious stranger. "I've ordered a steak and some oysters and a bottle of Sauterne, aud I mean to have tnem." "Beg your pardon," deferentially re plied the waiter, "but this is a club, and you have no right of entrance till you are elected." "Well, then," roared the intruder, eieet mei" The members laughed at this good joke, ana the waiter looked uncomfort able, but he thereupon urged, "Beg par don, sir; you must become a member in the ordidary way before I can serve you, as you have not been introduced you must be proposed and balloted for.' "Well, then," shouted the invader, "naiiot lor me!" The end of the controversy was that tne too daring intruder had to be ex pelled by force, declaring, as he was nustiea out, tuat it was very bard. In one of the suburbs of Boston a lady was passing from the depot through a piece of woodland to her home the other day. Suddenly a tramp sprang from tne nusnes, and seizing her wrist, de manded her watch and money. The lady replied, "Let me alone, and you shall have my money." This the fellow did, but still menaced her with a heavy walking-stick. The lady then deliber ately unfastened her hand-bag, quick as a flash took out a revolver, and springing back several paces, leveled it at the head of the villain. The fellow was so aBtonished that be in turn sprang oack, anu tnrowing up nis nanus, cried "Don't shoot!" and In a moment after turned about, dashed into the bushes. and disappeared. The lady had received instruction in the use of the weapon irom ner nusoaud, and was skillful When told that she ought to have brought the fellow down, she replied, -xou wouldn't nave me snoot him In the back, while running, would you ?'

The law of Newspapers. L Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue tholr subscriptions. 2. If any subscribers order the discontinuance of their newspapers, the publisher may con tinue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their newspapers from the offices to which they are directed, the law holds them responsible until they have settled the bills, and ordorcd them discontinued. 4. If subscribers remove to other places with out informing the publisher, and the newspa pers are sent to the former direction, they are held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers from the office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. C The postmaster who neglects to give the legal notice of the neglect of a person to take from the office the newspapers addressed to him, is liable to the publisher for the subscrip tion price.
