The Dream Of a S,amstr,ss.

tThe following remarkable lines are from a
volume Of Poems by Seamstress," and are
said to be truly the productions Of Al poor Eng
lish girl. They arc indeed beautiful, and, under
the circumstances, thoroughly and thoughtfully
appropriate :-Boston Post.
Not in the laughing bowers,
Where, by green twining elms, apleasant shade
At summers noon is made;
And where swift footed hours
Steal the rich breath Of the enamored flowers,
Dream /. Nor where the golden glories be,
AT sunset, laving DER the flowing sea;
And to pure eyes the faculty is given
To trace q smooth ascent from earth to heaven.
Not on the couch Of case,
With all the appliances of Joy at hand
Soft light, sweet fragrance, beauty at command |;
Viands that might a god-likc palate please,
And Musics soul-creativc ccstacics,
Dream l. Nor gloating DER wide estate,
| Till the full, sclf-complacent heart clate,
We'll satisfied with bliss Of mortal birth,
| Sighs for an immortality on earth.
But where the incessant din
Of iron hands, and roars Of brazen throats,
Join their unmingled notes;
| While the long summer day is pouring in,
Till day is gone, and darkness docs begin,
Dream las in the corner where l lie,
On wintry nights, just covered from the sky;
Such is my fate, and barren though it seem,
Yet, thou blind, souliess scorner, yet dream
! And yet dream
Dream what Were men more just, might
have been
How strong, how fair, how kindly and serene,
Glowing OF heart, and glorious of mien;
! The conscious Crown 10 Natures blissful scene
| In Just and equal brotherhood to glcan,
With all mankind exhaustlcss pleasure keen:
Such is my dream.
And yet, dream
1, the despiscd of fortune, lift mine eye,
Bright with the lustrc of integrity,
In unappealing wretchedness, on high,
And the last rage of Destiny defy;
| Resolved alone to live-alone TO die,
Nor swell the tide Of human misery.
And yet, dream,
Dream of sleep where dreams no more shall
come,
My last, my FIRST my only welcome home
Rest, unbehcld, since life's beginning stage,
Sole remnant of my glorious heritage.
Unalienable, l shall find thee yet,
And, in thy soft embrace, the past forget
Thus do dream.

A Splendid Description.


One Panl Denton, Methodist preacher in
Texas, advertised a barbecue, with better IL
quor than usually furnished. When the
people were assembled, desperate in the
crowd cried out, "Mr. Paul Denton, your
reverence has lied. You promised not only
a good barbecue but better liquor. Where's
the liquorl ?"
"There" answered the missionary, in
tones Of thunder, and pointing his motion
less finger at the matchless double spring,
gushing up in two strong columns, with Il
sound like shout of JOY from the bosom OF
the earth. "There" he repeated, with n
look terrible as lightning, while his enemy
actually trcmbled at his feet; there is the
liquor which God, the eternal brews for all
his children.
Not in the simmering still, over smoky
fires, checked with poisonous gasses, aud
surrounded with the stencil of sickening
odors and rank corruptions, doth your Faith
er in heaven prepare the precious essence OF
life, the pure cold water. But in the green
glade and grassy del, where the red deer
wanders, and the child loves to play, there
God brews il; and down, low down in the
deepest vallics, where the fountain murmurs
and the rills sing aud high up in the noun
tain tops, where the naked granite glittcrs
like gold in the sun, where the storm-cloud
bioods and the thunder storms crash, and
away far out on the wide wild sea, where
the hurricane hows music, and the big wave
rolls the chorus, sweeping the march Of
God-there He brews it, that beverage o
life, health giving water. And every where
il is thing of beauty, cleaning in the dew.

in the ice gem, till the trees all seem turn

over the setting SUI, or white gauze around
the midnight moons sporting in the cataract

shower, folding its bright snow curtains soft

many colored iris, that seraph's zone Of the
sky, whose warp is the rain drop of EARTH
whose woof is the sunbeam of heaven, all
checked over with celestial flowers, 10y the
mystic hand of relrnction. Still always it is
beautiiul-that blessed life-water! no poison
bubbles on its brink; its foam brings not
madness and murder; no blood stains its
liquid glass pale widows and starving Or

no drunknrd's shrinking ghost from the

Speak out, my friends, would you exchange

WoRK, ~ YOU WOULD RIsE.-Richard
Burke being found in reverie, shortly after
an extraordinary display of powers in the
House of Commons, by his brother Edmund,
and questioned by Mr.. Malone as to the cause,
replied, /" have been wondering how Ned
Inns contrived to monopolize all the talents
of the family, but then, again, remember.

The force of this anecdote is increased by
the fact that Richard Burke was not consd-
cred inferior in natural talents TO his more
distinguished brother. Yet the one rose to
,reatness, while the other died comparative
ly obscure. Don't trust to your genius, young
man, ii you would rise but work work

a hole in it. After some further examination
of the part, and probing it, ON immense toad

THE ANTILSLAvERY BUGLE.
To my Little Daughters Shoes.

Two little, rough-worn, stubbed shoes,
A plump, well-trodden pair
With striped stocking thrust within,
Lay just beside my chair.
Of very homely fabric they,
A hole is in each toe,
They might have cost, when they were new,
Some fifty cents or so.
And yet this little worn-out pair
Is richer far to me
Than all the jewelled sandals arc
Of Eastern luxury.
This mottlcd leather, cracked with use,
Is satin in my sight;
These little tarnisAed buttons shine
With all a diamonds light.
Search through the wardrobe Of the world
You shall not find me there,
SO rarely made, so richly wrought,
Soglorious pair.
And whyi Because they tell of her,
Now sound asleep above,
Whose form is moving beauty, and
Whose heart is beating love.
Ahtg wi hN VI Dcl lntll1
Her rich whole hearted glee
Her gentlencss, her innocence,
And infant purity.
They tell me that her wavering steps
Will long demand my aid;
For the old road Of human life,
Is very roughly laid.
High hills and swift desoents abound;
And, on so rude a way,
Feet that can wear these coverings
Would surely go astray.
Sweet little girl be mine the task
Thy feeble steps to tend
To be thy guide, thy counsellor,
Thy playmate and thy friend
And when my steps shall faltcring grow,
And thno be firm and strong,
Thy strength shall lead my tottcring age
In cheerful peace along @.

INCIDENT AT TOBERLIN.-A gentleman who
attended the recent commencement Of the
Ladies Department at Oberlin College, writes
as follows to the Western Christian Advocate
One of the graduates was colored lady.
1t was known to many that she had presided
with dignity and honor at the Ladies' Lite
rary Association and when her subject was
announced, Z" A Plea for the Oppressed - and
she stepped into the stand, expectation was
raised, and expectation was more than graft
fed. Her charming voice, modest demean-
or, appropriate pronunciation and graceful
cadences, riveted attention, while the truth
fulness of her pictures controlled the emo
tions of her hearers. 1t was understood that
applauses were prohibited; but an incident
occurred which raised the feelings, and swept
away every barrier. At the close of the
piece, a man rose in the congregation and
said, "When the question came before the
trustees, "Shall colored persons be admitted
with consent of the Board ?" il was decided
by the casting vote of the chairman. Ii was
then predicted that this would ruin the nsti-
tuition. The piece to which you Just listen ed
shall decide upon the credibility of the pro-
phecy." Then only was there one general,
swelling burst of applause. The time refer
red TO wus 1884 to that decision, so in ac-
cordance with reason and humanity, but then
SO in advance Of the public sentiment, the
institution owes its prosperity. The speaker
was Rev. John Keep. lie suppressed the
fact that he was that chairman, aud he might
have added the fact that he had Just taken
his seat, tho former chairman who would
have voted differently, having resigned and
Just left the chair, and this was the first ques-
ton put upon his taking H.

New PRINTING MAcmNE.-The recent in-
vention of Jeptha A. Wilkinson, of Provi-
dence, X. J., of a rotary printing machine,
different from any other now in use, promi-
ses to work a great revolution in printing
The motions of the press are rotary, and the
type being placed OH cylinders, each prints a
separate side of the sheet. The paper is
only cut as il comes from the press, being
placed on the press for printing in large rolls
as il comes from the mills; aud MS many
thousand miles in length as may be desired.
The paper being taken from the mill, and OF
the necessary degree of dampness, is printed,
cut off into sheets, aud folded by the press
at the rate of twenty thousand sheets an hour,
requiring only one man TO place the rolls
upon the press, and remove the papers as
printed, cut and folded by the machine. Its
cost is less than a double cylinder Napier
press, and it is said to possess great adyanta-
ges over any other press in its effect upon
the type.

LudicrOus.

A young itinerant preacher, in the con-
stant habit of decaiming great deal about
the creation, whenever he wished to display
his native eloquence to good advantage, was
one day holding forth to mixed congrega-
ton in country school house. Becoming
warm and enthusiastic as he proceedetI, il
was not long before he reached his faybrte
theme, and started off in something LIKE the
following style:
"And when the world was created, and
the beasts of the field, and fowls of the air,
and pronounced very good, God said, Let
us make man. And he formed man after
his own likeness, and declared him the no
blest of all the work of his hands. And he
made woman also, and fashioned her in the
exact image of man, with little variation" ("
"Thank the Lord for the variation -"
shouted an old sinner, who sat over in the
amen corner of the room, at this interesting
juncture of the discourse.
The effect was perfectly ludicrous and
irresistible. The preacher dropped the sub
ject where he was interrupted, and was new
er heard to allude to it during subsequent
ministry Of forty years.-P Peninsuiar Freeman.
