The solstice he does not observe the

ment of farmhouse in Burgundy or
Lower Brittany-this INDECENT widow
sat during the summer evenings be-
meath the shadow of her tree at Les
Roches,' and in winter returned to her
fireside at Paris, where she listened
to the voice of her own heart, and
gazed from her window upon the world
passing without. She seized the pen
her writing flowed without pre-.
arrangement, guided only by the i'm.
pulse OF the moment she poured forth
her soul to her daughter, she talked
familiarly with her friends, she whis-
pered messages to the absent, she dis
coursed with herself or with heaven
day after day she cast notes and let
ters into the post, thinking little of the
public, of the art of writing, of poster
ity, or of fame and found all at once
that she had created a literary monu-
ment, not only the most original, va
rled, and national of her age, but also
a record of the deepest and most pa
thetlc emotions of the human heart in
every century. The march of time has
advanced the ihquiring have drawn
forth these letters from their conceal
ment !; their conversations are trans
figured into genius, their gossip has
become history, and their softest whis-
perings have reverberated in perma-
nent echoes to all posterity. Such is
the chance and now let US examine
the mystery.
"What is this mystery Its expla-
nation lies in few words. 1t is that
the interest created by human occur
rences is not found in the greatness
OF situations or events, but in the emo
tions of the mind by which they are
re-echoed, and which is to them, be
they great or small, what air is to
sound-the medium of resonance.
You may strike powerful blows upon
the most sonorous metal, but if air is
wanting, or even too rarefied, silence
alone will be your answer, the echo is
music; without air there cannot be
sound, without sensibility there can
be no impression thus there is also
no interest and no glory it is the Sc
cret of the human heart, that it can
only be moved by coincidence with
something that has been moved be
fore"

CoAx1NG UP AN ExpREss1oN.-A brace
OF lovers" anxious to secure each
others shadow ere the substance faded,
stepped into a daguerreotype estab-
lishment, to sit for their "picters."-
The lady gave precedence to her swain
who, she said, chad got to be tuck
fust, and real nat'ral."
He brushed up his tow head of hair,
gave twist or two to his handker-
chief, asked his gal if his shirt collar
stood about X, and planted himself in
the operators chair, where he soon as
sumed the physiognomical characteris-
tics of poor mortal in dentists
hands, and about to part with one of
his eye teeth. "Now do look purity"
begged the lady, casting at him one
of hermost languishing glances. The
picture was taken, and when produced,
it reminded the girl, as she expressed
it, jist how Josh looked when he got
over the measels :" and as this was
not an era in our suitor's history par
ticularly worthy Of their conmemora-
ton, she insisted that she should stand
again." He obeyed, and she attend
ed him to the chair
JOSH" said she, ".jist look like
smilin', and then kinder don't" The
poor fellow tried to follow the indef-
mite injunction. g La" she cried, "you
look all puckered up" One injunction
followed another, but with as little
success. At last, growing impatient,
and becoming desperate, she resolved
to try an experiment, which she con-
sidered infallible, and exclaimed, IL
don't keer if there is folks round."-
She enjoined the operator to stand
ready at his camera she then sat in
her fellows lap, and placing her arms
around his neck, managed to cast
shower of faxen ringlets as a screen
between the operator and her proceed
ings, which however, were betrayed
by succession of amorous sounds
which revealed her expedient. When
this billing and cooing" had lasted
few minutes, the cunning girl jumped
from Josh's lap, and clapping her
hands, cried to the astonished artist
=" Now you have got him put him
through !"

THE GRAVE OF STEUBEN.

About five miles from the village of
Steuben, n. Y, and in the town of that
name, is the grave of Baron de Steu-
ben. In five-acre woodland, on a
hill, and fenced in, SO that the cattle
cannot enter, quietly rest the remains
of the Prussian patriot and hero The
grave is in the middle of the wood,
and was once covered by monument
"a plain slab with the following SIM
pie inscription Major General Fred
erick William Augustus Baron de
Steuben." We visited the grave
few days since, and found the monu-
ment tumbled down, and things going
to decay. 1t was an unpleasant sight
to stand by the grave of that great
man, and think how negligent our
country had been of herheroes. There,
in the wild woods, far from the city's
crowd, and by the "fair forest stream"
reposed the remains of a gallant pat
riot, with nothing but mass Of NOR
tar and stones to mark his resting
place.
Baron Steuben was aid-de-camp to
the King of Prussia-he was receiv-
ing salary of $4,000 year at the
time of the revolutionary struggle
his sympathies were enlisted in be-
half OF the infant colony, and he left
his home and his situation to serve in
the American cause and take the lead
of our armies. He was an able Gen
eral and an experienced tactician, and
rendered invaluable service to our
country. Soon after the close of the
war, Steuben retired to private life,
and for seven years endeavored in
vain to prevail on Congress to remu-
nerate him for his services. At length
he received salary of two thousand
five hundred year. only half Of that
which he relinquished thirteen years
before, to risk all in her service. He
located himself on the farm, and in the
township where he died, given him by
the State of New York. He cleared
off sixty acres of land, erected log
house, and sat down for the remain
der of his life. With his trusty SER
wants and few friends who still chung
to him with more than filhal affection,
he watched the current of his years
drift peaceably away, without sigh
for the splendors of royalty he had
left behind him in the old world.
A tree near the spot where his dwell
ing stood was favorite of his, and
under that tree, in summer, he used to
pass many Of his hours. He express
ed wish to be buried, when he died,
under the tree where he had so often
rested while living. On the 25th day
Of November, 1897, he was struck
with paralysis and lived but three
days afterwards. He directed, just

Song For Thinkers
BY CHARLES SWAIN,

Take the spade of Perseverance,
Dig the field of Progress wide;
Every rotten root or faction
Hurry out, and cast aside;
Every stubborn weed of Error;
Every seed that hurts the soil
Tares whose every growth is terror
Dig them out, whatc'e the toll
Give the stream of Education
Broader channel, bolder force;
Hurl the stones of Persecution
Out where er they block its course:
Seek for strength in self-exertion
Work and still have faith to wait;
Close the crooked gate to fortune;
Make the road to honor straight!
Men are agents for the Future!
As they work so ages win
Either harvest of advancement,
Or the product of their sin!
Follow out true cultivation,
Widen Education's plan;
From the majesty of Nature
Teach the majesty of Man!
Take the spade of Perseverance
Dig the field of Progress wide;
Every bar to true instruction
Carry out, and cast aside;
Feed the plant whose fruit is Wisdom
Cleanse from crime the common sod !;
So that from the throne of Heaven
1t may bear the glance of God

I'll Think Of Thee.

When morning with its golden light
Is bathing every tree and flower,
And wild birds sing from pure delight,
A greeting to that joyous hour,
I'll think of thee.
And when at noon from crowds steal,
To rest me in some woodland bower,
To Gull its blossoms, and to feel
Free from the storms that round me low e
I'll think of thee.
And when the shades of evening fall,
And purple Ger each lake and lawn,
And young hearts yielding to the call
Ofpeace, in gentleness throb on,
I'll think of thee
And in nights still and solemn hours,
When love awakes, perchance to weep;
And when the moon her glory showers
In silver beauty O er the deep
I'll think of thee.
Oh mid all changes of this sphere,
In hours of joy-in days of pain,
When those love are with me here,
Or gone where sainted spirits reign,
I'll think of thee.

Home.

There is a land of every land the pride.
Beloved by heaven o o'er all the world beside;
Where brighter suns dispense serener light,
And milder moons emparadise the night;
A land of beauty, virtue, valor, truth,
1ime.tutored age, and love exalted youth:
The wandering mariner, whose eyes explores,
The wealthiest isles, the most enchanting
shores,
Views not a realm so beautiful and fair,
Nor breaths the spirit of purer air;
In every cline the magnet of his soul,
Touched by remembrance, trembles to that
pole;
For this land of heavens peculiar grace,
The heritage of natures noblest race,
There is spot of earth supremely blest,
A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest,
Where man, creations tyrant, casts aside,
His sword and scepter pageantry and pride,
While in his softened looks benignly blend,
The sire, the son, the husband, brother friend
Here woman reigns, the mother, daughter,
wife,
Strcw with fresh flowers the narrow way of
life! . .
In the clear heaven of her delightful eye,
An angel guard of loves and graces lie.
Around her knees domestic duties meet,
And freside pleasures gambol at her feet.
Where shall that land, that spot of earth be
found!
Art thou man "a patriot?--lOok around!
Oh thou shalt find, howe er thy footsteps
roam,
That land thy country, AMI that spot thy home.

THE LITTLE BLOSSOM
THAT WITHERED IN ITS BLOOM

We take from a Minnesota paper
the following yearning tribute of a
bereaved mothers heart to the sweet
ness, beauty, and loveliness of hel
first born, who was suddenly stricken
down in the blossom of his young life
1t will tonch the fearful sympathies OF
many mothers, who, like the writer
has seen the bright eyes of innocen,
childhood close upon them in this world
forever 5:
We called him our little blossom
We knew from the first hour his pres
ence blest us, that he was fragile and
delicate as the lilies and roses that
bloom in the morning, and linger but
for day. And as he unfolded in beau
ty and loveliness, we considered thai
eyes as bold and blue, had been shut
in darkness, that little hearts as fonG
and warm, had become chilledin death
and so we clasped him in closer
grasp, as if the very strength Of our
perfect love could shield him from the
wary destroyer.
Oh, we loved him with an idolatry
forbidden to mortals, and in the ado
ration of our hearts, involuntarily ant
supplicatingly said: Surely the goot
God who has SO abundantly blessed us
with each others love, who has made
the earth to us Paradise, and ha,
