The san is always shining in the sky of our lives aim his Bright beams coming Down to Gladden the Earth. But into How Tew hearts do they find their Way Tho Earth upon which our minds dwell like the material Earth has its dense forests its deep dim valleys its dark caves and caverns into which the sunlight rarely if Ever comes. It would scorn As if Many persons loved these gloomy shades and hid themselves of Choice away from the Bright and Beautiful suns inc. They carry shadows in their hearts and shadows on their faces. When they come into your presence it seems As if the air was suddenly darkened by a passing Cloud. Or. Hickman was one of those men who walk for the most part in dark valleys or sit in dreary caverns. Hardly if Ever on returning Home did he bring Light into Bis dwelling. If there was merry laughter among Tho children on his Entrance their voices were hushed if loves Light beamed from the countenance of his wife As she sported with her Little ones it faded away giving place to u sober thoughtful half troubled look. He Al ways came Home bringing a Shadow with Bun Aud sat for the most part in this Shadow through All the cheerless evenings. Why was this was there a great trouble in the heart of or. Hickman ? Hud to passed through some depressing misfortune or suffered some terrible affliction no. It was As Well with him As with most people better than with a very Large number. His business was prosperous and every year lie added Many thousands of dollars to his rapidly accumulating for tone. But he was Nota Man possessing an orderly adjusted mind was easily disturbed by trifles and an noyed by incidents that should not live affected him any More than the buzzing of a Fly. But the real canse Lay deeper and More hidden grounded in an inordinate selfishness that robbed him of the pleasure which might Lingo attended Success through envy of others Good Fortune. He was jealous of his co Peers in business and always experienced a disa Groe Ablo sensation when lie heard of them As . No wonder that sunlight could not find its Way into ids heart. Envy and ill will Burn in what heart they Nuiya always Send up a Black smoke that obscures the heavens. Thu Sny is there shining us brightly As Ever but his Ruys cannot penetrate this Cloud of passion. No Day passed in which something did not occur to disturb or Cloud Tho mind of or. Hickman and so evening after evening he came Home bringing a the him Shadow instead of sunlight. Of what 11 desecration of Home was this Home where the hearts sunlight should Ever dwell and a heart a Knitli pervade Alt Tho Sweet atmosphere. Nothing of external Good was denied by or. Hickman to his family. They had All of happiness that Money could buy. Yet How for from happiness wore his wife and children. They Wero drooping for Sunshine the Sunshine of smiles and pleasant words and joyous laughter. Bat these Camo not from or. Hickman. He sat among them grim and gloomy for the most part like some sombre Heathen divinity half dreaded,.half propitiated. Or. Ii Ickman was not so stolid hut that he saw in this the existence of a wrong. To loved is wife and children desired their Good and was ready to make almost any sacrifice for them that he knew How to Moke. Bren As he Sal moodily in his Home conscious that his presence rusted like a Nightmare on the spirits of his wife and children he would say to himself a a this is not right. I should bring Hume it word and cheerful smiles a vet almost As he said this would his thought get Back to some incident of Tho a a Ness gave Power to i he would go a again into a brooding state of mind out of which he Hod not Resolution enough to lift himself. Often it happened that his children sought in the of trashing gladness of their hearts to break the spell Tuat was on him but almost always he repulsed them a sometimes coldly sometimes fret fully and sometimes in sudden anger so that at last Thoy rarely Hume near or spoke to him Nso he sat through his silent evenings. A a wrong Oil wrong Quot or. Hickman often said to himself As the Shadow fell Darker of his Home. But a knowledge of the evil did not bring a knowledge of Tho cure or Rathor that self Conquest which must a precede a care. He Mast let the Sunshine Ptohis own Hoart Ore he could pour Forth. Its Loys on other hearts. Lie must Zoino out of the Depasq forests valleys and Dusky caverns into the Clear Sunshine but How was Lio t-0 come out ? who was to Lead him Forth i1 a cd a one Day is. Or. Hickman Satin his counting room conversing with a gentleman a lad Camo in from Tho store to ask him some questions about. Business. Or Hickman replied in h Curt Way arid the Lud went omit. A a what is that boy s name a asked the ,-.��si�?T.- o. A a Frank Edwards a was replied. U i thought Sotier a a Fine boy. How Long has he been with you a Quot a a a a a a a a a a a does Iio give satisfaction a. A a a a in a pleased to hear it. His Mother lives in our neighbourhood and my wife has taken considerable interest in her. Sho is very poor and in feeble health. She maintains horse if by sewing but that kind of exhausting toil is wasting her life rapidly. Frank is her Onty child und the Only one to whom she can look for any help. I am glad Yon Liko nothing More was said on the sub Joel hut it did not pass from the mind of or. Hickman lie had taken the lad a few Mouths before on trial and it was understood satisfaction he was to be put on wages after six months. A the boy is faithful intelligent and no Tivo a said or. Hickman speaking to himself. If itis so to Villi his Mother to must be put Oil wages this conclusion in the mind of or. Hickman was attended with a sense of pleasure. His heart had opened just a Little and two or three sunbeams with their Light and warmth had gone Down into it. A a what shall i pay7 him for his services a said or. Hickman to himself still dwelling on thu subject. A a there Are plenty of lads to he obtained at a couple of dollars a week for the first one or two years or Evon for Othir consideration of the Opportunity for learning a Good business in a Good House. Bat Franks Caso is Peculiar and Mast to considered by itself. There is a question of humanity involved. His Mother is poor and sick and she has no Hope Bat in him. Let me see shall i make it three dollars a week that will help them considerably. But Delurme by pay for Franks Ealing. I must do some thing better than that. Bay four or. Hickman dropped his head a Little and sat turning the matter Vorin his mind. He had once been a poor boy wit i a Mother in feeble health and to remembered How hard it was for hit to get along How Many privations and hard slips his Mother had to endure and yet their income was nearly double the amount he thought of giving Frank. Or. Hickman Ltd always loved his Mother and tins memory of her softened his feelings still More toward the poor widow for whom an Appeal had come to him so unexpectedly. A a a Frank a san unusually Bright boy a said or. Hickman. A who has an aptness for business is prompt and faithful. Ill Puy him six dollars now and if lie goes on improving As Fust Asho has done so for it will not be Long before i can make it bettor for or. Llie Kman arose and going to the counting room door called the lad who came in immediately. A a How do you Liko our business Frank a asked or. Hickman in a kind Way. A a very Well air a replied the boy promptly. A and you would like of remain a a yes sir if i give a a you have done very Well so for a replied or. Hickman so Well that i have concluded to put you on wages now instead of wailing the six months of trial Liucc expired. The boy started and a Quick Flussi of sur prise and pleasure went Over Bis face. A a i did not Export it sir Quot he said gratefully. A a you Are very Good.�?�. A your Mother is hot Well i Hoar a said or. Hickman. Franks eyes glistened As he answered a no. Sir she�?T8 been sick for u Good while and in a so glad to he put on wages for i now 1 can help a a will void give All voir wages to your Mother. A y a a / pc a a a Fli yes indeed sir every cent if it was ten dollars a vhf in a a a �?�-1 see you re a Good boy said or. Lit Kman his la arts till Soti ening a a and your wages shall to six the Hoy struck his bands together with sudden Joy exclaiming. A a of Mother will be glad a As lie went Hack into the store or. Hickman sat quietly in his chair feeling happier than he had been tor a Long time. Fion the Sun went Down and Frank came in to shut tin windows of tile counting. Room. Or. Hickman handed him a sealed envelope saying a take this to your Mother. It contains thirty six dollars As your wages at Throe dollars a week for twelve weeks a die time you have been in my store. Tell your nether that y of have been a Good industrious boy and have or rued thu Money this additional Good Fortune that he >3011 id not break his thanks. But Bis eyes told what was in his Hoart and or. Hickman understood them. A ifs i there Are Many ways to catch sunbeams if week old Only set traps for them. Nay there is no occasion to go to that trouble. The air is full of sunbeams and to have Only to open the doors and windows of our hearts and they will enter in. Countless multitudes. But the doors and windows of most Peoples hearts Are shut and barred As was the heart of or. Hickman. How Are they to be opened ? just As Tho doors and windows of his heart Weih open fed by kindness to others. When or. Hickman took his Way homeward his step was lighter and his feeling More buoyant than they had been lib a Long time. Though conscious of urn and of the sense of pleasure that was new to r him his thought did no go directly of the cause. Not that be had forgotten prank and his sick Mother or the glad in Edtha looked into his w ten he told the boy of his generous decision in his favor Ait this was present to him Trio High he had not yet connected Tho kind Ali pleasant feelings in his consciousness As Causo and. . A thera was no sound of pattering feet on the stairs As or. Hickman came in. Time was when tils fret step Lii the passage a awoke thee hoes with Langling voices and 1 10 rain of eager footfalls. But had passed Jong ago. The father came Home so often in a cold repellent mood that his children had ceased to to glad at his return and to longer bounded to meet him. Sitting on Tho stairs were a Little boy and girl of the Ages of five and six. As he advanced along the passage they Neil incr stirred nor spoke nor smiled though their eyes were fixed upon his Fuco. Or. Hickman stood still when to Camo near to where they were sitting and looked at them with a new feeling of tenderness in his heart. He hold out u hand to each and each Laid a hand in his but with an air of doubt As to whether this condescension on the part of their father Wero to be accepted As a Token of love. A moment lie stood holding their hands then stooping lie threw an Arm around each and lifted them to his breast. A has no to Odiea kiss for papa a sail or. Hickman with so much warmth in his voice that Tho Little girl now understood that All was Earnest. A a yes a Hundred kisses a answered Bdie flinging her arms around her fathers neck and kissing him Over and Over again in childish fondness. At the head of the first Landing opened the sitting room. Into this or. Llie Kman came with Tho two children in his arms both of them hugging and kissing him in a wild Happy Way. A bless me what a the moaning of ill this a exclaimed mrs. Hick a Nan rising and coming Forward her free a glow with sudden pleasure at and souls so new yet All Welcome to her heart. A these Little rogues Are hugging and kissing the very breath away from me a said or. Hickman laughing and struggling with the children. A who asked me for one kiss a cried Lidio a and in a going to give him a or. Hie Kinan sat Down with a Eli ild on each knee and mrs. Hickman came arid stood by him with a hand his shoulder. _. A a of you must kiss him too a Saideie looking up at her Mother. Mrs. Hickman did not wait for a second invitation. The old pleasant face of her husband was Waguiu before Ier and her heart was leaping with the old Loving impulses. Sho Bent Down and Laid a warm kiss on his lips which he Felt As a Sweet glow through All his being. A a a 1-. J. This was an opening Long to be remembered in the household of or. Hickman. To had caught a Sunbeam and brought it Home with him and Light and warmth wore All around them. All were Happy and or. Hie Kinan Tho happiest of them a a Fot he in i the Sweet consciousness in his heart of having another and Bumble Home than this Happy also. There is an obvious moral to this Story. All her resources in support of the common cause recorder. From the Chron clo sen fit the degradation of the a Orch. The correspondence Between Tho British minister and Seward in reference to Tho Mason and Slidell imbroglio has been published in the Northern papers. The part borne by the British government in the correspondence is very Small being confined to two Brief letters the first from lord Bussell demanding the prisoners the last from lord Lyons acknowledging their surrender. Seward a letter is a very Long Ope in which to argues that the Elxnit de states wore right in capturing Tho prisoners yet that Wilkes did not go far enough in that tie did hot carry the Trent. Into port for adjudication ail condemn Tion and upon this pitiful quibble he yields the whole ground of the controversy. We Are of opinion that had Wilkes proceeded As Faros Seward contends to should there would have been a dilemma for sword to a get out Ufi Rathor Tiore serious than that he has with Oom Nch cunning faded for amp time. ,.the following is Russel s letter of instructions to Lydns to make the demand for rep ration a a Quot foreign office nov. 30�h, 183�, 1 r run i a a a m a Tkv majesty a fio Vern Eisent. Tho intelligence was conveyed officially to the knowledge of the admiralty by commander Williams agent for the mails on Board the contract Steamer Trent. It appears from the letter of commander Williams dated a Boyal mail contract packet Trent at sea nov. Lute a that the Trent Lell Havanna on the 7th instant Wither majesty a mails for England baying on Board Sumer oils passengers. Commander Williams states that shortly after 110011, on the 8th, a Steamer having the appearance of a Man of War hut showing no colors was observed ahead. On nearing her at 1.15, p.m., she fired her Pivot gun across the Bow of Tho Trent and showed american colors. While the Trent was approaching her slowly the american vessel discharged a Shell across the bows of Tho Trent exploding half a cables length ahead of her. The tront then stopped and an officer with a Largo armed guard of marines boarded her. The officer demanded. I list of the passengers and a compliance Vijh the demand boing refused the Offler said to had orders to arrest messes. Mason Slidell Mcfarland und Eustis a us that he had sure information of their being Pas seniors in the Trent. White some was going on upon this matter or. Slidell stopped Forward and told the american officer that Tho four persons lie had no nod were Chen stat Diug before him. The com Mauder of the Trent Ancic Ammando a wit a of with the statement of the British official except in one or two unimportant Points. He denies that a round shot or Shell was fired near the teen but asserts that it was directed at such a distance from her As to be harmless to denies that Lient. Fairfax boarded Tho Trent with a Largo guard of marines and that to used Force to remove the passengers. He further denies that the Captain of the Trent was at any time required to go on Board the san Jacinto. The question he says involves the following enquiries which if answered in the affirmative the British government would have no claim for reparation. 1st. Were Tho persons named and their supposed dispatches contraband of War ? 8d. Might Captain Wilkos lawfully Stop and search the Trent for these contraband persons Aud dispatches ? _ _ 3d. Might to exercise that right in a lawful and proper Roan nor 4lb. Having found the contraband persons on Board and in presumed Possession of the contraband dispatches had to a right to capture the persons ? 5th. Did lie exorcise Tho right of Cupuro in the manner allowed and Hocog Nixon by the Law of nations the first lie answers in Tho affirmative the commissioners were contraband of War according to International Law though that Law deals with things hot with persons. Yet he nonfood All writers have agreed to Coq Sidor naval and military persons con Trab Uhd and Vattel and sir win. Scott agree that Tho ambassadors of an enemy Are contraband. Seward takes these dicta As Law and pronounces ambassadors contraband a to about As Inch reason As Butler pronounced second question he answers in the afr Matij of the third question must con sequently co answered in the affirmative. The fourth question he answers in the affirmative. The fifth question is the knotty one and in it is the Gist of the whole matter. Though Tho affirmative Are vastly in the majority this Tremon Doub fifth question s weighty enough to decide the whole matter in thu negative. Majorities done to govern in Seward a logic one beats four. This question being decided in the negative he concludes to give up the prisoners. The conclusion of Seward a letter is of follows in the present ease Captain Wilkes after capturing the contraband persons and making prize of the Trent in what seems to is a perfectly lawful manner instead of sending her into port released her from the capture and permitted her to proceed with her whole cargo upon her voyage. To thus effectually prevented the judicial examination which might otherwise have Quot a cent oct Quot a Quot a a 7 British Flag.
