TILE FIRsr nonN AND TIE SECOND.

The first born oh, other tiny feet may trip
lightly at The hearh-stone other rosy faces
may greet US around the board, with tender
love we eootho their childish pains and share
their childish sports but benjamin is not -
is written 10 the secret chamber Of many be-
reaved mothers heart where never more the
echo Of a childish voice may ring out such liz
MD music as death hath hushed.
Spring had garlanded The earth with flowers,
and Autumn had withered them with his frosty
breath. Many summers sun and winters
snow had rested on Daisy's grave, since the
date Of our last chapter
AT the window Of large hotel in one Of
those seaport towns, the resort alike Of the in
valid and the pleasure-seeker, sat Ruth the
fresh sea.breeze lining her hair from temples
thinner and palcr than Of yore, but stamped
with holier beauty. From the window might
be seen the blue waves Of the bay leaping to
the bright sunlight. while many vessel out
ward and inward bound spread It's sails like
some joyous whiic-winged sea-bird. But Ruth
was not thinking Of the sapphire sea, decked
with is snowy sails Tor in her lap lay little
half worn shoe, with the impress Of tiny foot,
upon which her tears were falling fast.
A little half worn shoe And yet no magi-
clan could conjurc up such blissfnl visions no
artist could trace such vivid pictures no harp
Of sweetest sounds could SO Gil the air with
music.
Eight years sinco DE little Daisy wi,hered
And yet to her mothers eye. she still blossom
ed fair as Paradise. The soft, golden hair
still waved over the blne-veined temples; the
sweet, earnest eyes still beamed with their low
ing light the little fragile hand was still out
stretched for maternal guidance and in the wood
and by the stream they still fingered. Still
the little hymn was chanied at dawn, the little
prayer lisped at dew-fall still that gentle
breathing mingled with the happy mothers
siar-lit dreams.
little bright-eyed creature crepi 10 Ruth's
side, and lifting long wavy, golden ringlei
from box on the table near her, laid II beside
her own brown curls.
'Daisys 10 heaven said little Katy, mus
ingly. why do you cry, mamma Don't you
like to have God keep her for you
tear was the only answer.
4 should like to die, and have you love my
curls as you do Daisy's mother
Ruth started and looked al the child the
rosy flash had faded away from little Katy's
cheek, tear stole slowly from beneath her long
lashes.
Taking her upon her lap, she severed one
trcss Of her brown hair, and laid it beside little
Daisy's golden ringlet.
A bright smile liz up little Katy's face, and
she was Just throwing her arms about her moth
er's neck, To express thanks, when, stopping
suddenly, she drew from her dimpled foot one
little shoe, and laid il in her mothers palm.
Mid smiles and tears Ruth complied with
the mute request, and the little sister shoes lay
with the twin ringleis. lovingly side by side.

teacher bali infant, half sage, and whole an

Farmers have work for February, and me,

Hard is the fate OF him who has lain idle

The old wood pile now looks rather low, and
there seems to be room TO store away more fuel.
A neat wood pile is an ornamental appendage
to any farm house. When you have room,
throw the wood under cover while it is green,
and split fine enough for use. White birch is
good when split and sheltered, though il is poor

Cattle want little more attention now, aud

MISCELLANY.
HISTORY OF PARTIES


1.-THE following historical sketch Of the various pol
ca parties In this country, since the formation Of h.
goyernment, contains much useful and interesting in
formation for The young reader who is taking his frs
lessons in politics, and will be useful record, as
reference for all aud at any time. II prepared for
the Herald, by dligenl student of siasicsl
During the American Revolution, the only
political parties known were those of wings
and torics-the former, comprising the erea,
mass of the people, being favorable TO the Rev
olution; and the latter, few in number, calling
themselves loyalsis, were opposed TO throwing
off the yoke Of the British government. Ader
the war, the tories mingled with the parties
that were afterwards formed, some of them
joining the federalists, and others becoming
part of the republican, or democratic party
The federal patty arose on the formation Of the
Constitution of the United States BY conven-
ton OF delegates at Philadelphia, in 1881
The adoption of the Constitution by the sever
al Siates, in conventions Of delegates called for
that purpose, was carried, after severe contests
IN some Of the States, and nearly unanimously
IN others. The friends of the Constitution as
siined the name of iederalsts, while its oppo-
- up
nepts were called anti federals and that was
VIC ''a'e OF parties when the Constitution wen,
n''o operation IN iloo. The national govern
'na'l'' ",nougn ono Oh deliberate consent, Gu
eou"'ereo from It's formation powerful oppo-
siion' washington, John Adams, and Ham
il'on' were at the head Of the friends of the
CONSTITUTION when the inst administration was
formed. In iic hrsi Congress there was a con-
siderable number OF members who had opposed
the adoption OF the Constitution by their re-
specilve States. In addition TO these there
were some members who had supported the
Constitution IN the National and State conycn-
nons' but now, from various causes-princi-
paliy, however, from desire to sustain them
selves in their own States and districts, where
me Constitution was deemed unpopular-oin-
ed the opposition to the administration OF Wash
Ingion' Among these may be mentioned Mr.
Madison, OF Virginia; Mr. Langdon, of New
hampshire Doctor Williamson, of North Car
DINA Mr. Baldwin, of Georgia, and others
Thus was formed what was afterwards called
the republican party, the name Of anti-federal-
lists being disavowed by those who declared
themselves friendly TO The Constitution. 1t

in hunting up implements Of husbandry. All
this labor may be saved by the making Of good

A REASONABLE REQUEST.

"a New VERSION OF An On SroRY....Br 0uR jim.
A lady whose bearing,
More gay than discreet,
Enchanted beau
Whom she happened to meet,
Grew wroth at the freedom
Her manner invited,
And with yirtuous scorn
His advances requited
"Good Lady," he answered,
Most humble and meek,
While genuine blush
Stole over his check
"Of my obvious fault
We the painfuest sense,
And deeply regret
That gave you offence;
But tlen--tor your own
.. And for gcntlemen's sakes,
To prevent in the future
Such awkward Mistakes
This bit Of advice
Do MT impertinent deem:
Pray seem what you are,
Or BE- what you seem.''

Trudging, grudging, tolling, moilng-
Hands and feet. and garments soiling-
Who would grudge the ploughnan's toll
Yet there Is lustrc Ia his eye
Borrowed from yon glowing sky,
And there e meaning In his glnnces
That bespeak no dreainer's hncies:

Strength Of nerve and strength Of limb,
Light and ieryor in his glances,
Life and beauty in his filncies;
Learned and happy brave and free,
