Working Girls.

Here is a short chapter in commonda-
ton Of working girls, a numerous class
of the community whose useful labors
are frequently too little appreciated:
Happy girls! who cannot love them
with checks like roses, bright eyes and
elastic step, how cheerful they 90 to
work. Our reputation for it. such girls
will make excellent wives Blessed in
deed will those men be who secure such
prizes. Contrast those who do nothing
but sigh all day and live to follow the
fashions, who never earn the bread thev
eat, or the shoes they wear; who are Ian
guild and lazy from one weeks end to
the other. Who but a simpleton and
popinjay would prefer one of the latter.
If he were looking for a compauion?-
Give US the working girls; they are worth
their weight in gold. You never see
them mincing along, or jump dozen
feet to steer clear of a spider or fv:
they have no ahectation or silly airs
about them. When they meet YOU. they
speak without putting on a dozen siIIy
airs, or trying to show off to better ad-
vantage, and you feel as if you were talk
ing to human being, and not to a paint
ed automation or a fallen angel.
If girls knew how sadly they missed it.
while endeayoring to show of their deli
cate hands, unsoiIod skins, and putting
on thousand airs, they would give
worlds for the situation of the workinq
ladies', who are as far above them i'm in.

Delight.

MY SON, THOU ART MY HEARTS
DELIGHT.
The following beautiful and touching line,
werc written by DANIEL WEnsTER, ON the death
orhis SON Choros
My SON.. ,H5u vast my hearts delight;
1uv morn Of life was gay and cheeryi
That morn has rushed 10 sudden night
Thy ialjer's house is sad and dreary.
y held thee ON my knee, my son!
And kissed thee laughing, kissed thee weeping
But alb, thy little day is done
Thou'rt with thy angel sister sleeping
The staff on which my years should lean,
Ts broken ere those years come DER mos
NV funeral rites thou shouId'st have seen,
Bot thou art In the tomb before me.
Thou rsor'st to me mo- fliaI stone.
No pareut's grave with tears behOIdest;
Thou art nay ancestor, my son!
And sland'st iu Heavens account the oldest
On earth my lot was soonest cast
Thy generation after mine,
Thou hast thy predecessor past,
Earlier eternity is thine.
J should have set before thine eyes
The road to Heaven. and showed it clears
But thou, untaught, spring'st to the skies,
And leav'st thy teacher lingering here.
Sweet seraph would learn Of thee,
And hasten 70 purtake thy bIissl
And oh! 10 thy world welcome me,
As FIRST welcomed thee to this.
Dear Angel, thou art safe in Heaven;
No prayers for thee need more be made;
Oh! let thy prayers Tor those be given,
Who of have blessed thy infant head!
Ny father! beheld thee born,
And led thy tottering steps with care;
Before me risen to Heavens bright morn,
Ny son! my father! guide me there.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

How TO MAKE HARD CANDLEs-Many OF
our lady readers are no doubt often vexed with
soft candles and would give almost anything
to make Them hard and durable The follow
ing recipe gives The manner OF making them,
and should be carefully preserved:-To twelve
pounds Of taIlow, take half gallon OF water,
TO which add three tablespoonruls of pulveriz-
ed alum and two ditto saltpelre. which heat
aud dIssoIvei then add your tallow and one
pound OF beeswaX; boil hard together, until
the water evaporales, and skim while boiling.
II should not be put I'm the moulds hotter than
you can bear your hand To- it. The candles
oOk much nicer when the wicks are not tied
az the bottom. II is not only a disagreeabIe
task 10 cut the wCks of, but It Injuries the
mould. Never heat your mods to draw your
candles In cold weather.
TBllow from beeves fed on corn or grain is
much softer than when fed on grass or clover
Therefore the tuIow from grass fed cattle
should always be selected for summer use, and
the candles will al ways be hard with the addi
ton OF very little alum aud beeswaX. I'm very
cold weather much less alum must be used or
they will crack so as 10 fall 10 pieces some
times and a third more Of each should be used
In warm weather if the talow is very soft
With little management you can always have
hard tallOw for summer use where you make
your own candles.

:
The dreams Of the world have al
most all "come true" More than two
hundred years ago, Struda imagined two
needles magnetizod together, and then
suspended over different and distant
dials, wheroon an alphabet should be
engraved
Tho idea is surprisingly beautiful,
that these kindred needles, born Of the
same magnetic touch, should sympathize,
however far removed; that if one Of them
should be directed by some human hand,
to the following letters in their order,
i-l-O-v-e-y-o-u, the other would turn of
its own mysterious will, and the gentle
eyes that looked down upon it, would
read the sweet declaration, "I love you,
and almost hear the whisper Of that
faithful heart, thousand miles away.
And then back would glide the trem-
bling accents of Buth-like trust, and
so it would be the happy telegraph Of
Fanoys fairy realm.
A century ago, Mark Akenside, en-
ploys in illustration the same conceit,
where in his pleasures Of the Imagi-
nation" he sings the sympathetic tie
that binds ideas.
"Twas thus, ir ancient fame The truth unfold
Two faithful needles, from tho informing tou ch
OF the same narent-stoue, together drew
It's mystic virtue, and at first conspired
W ith fatal impulse quiverug TO the pole.
Then though dlsjoined by kingdoms though

Rolled IFS broad surge betwlzt-and different
stars
Boheld their wakoruI mo tions-yet preserved
The former friendship, and remembered still
The alliance Of their birth. Wha;e'er the line
Which one possessed, nor pause nor quiet
knew
The sure associate, ore, with trembling speed
He found lis path, and fixed uner ing there"
A hundred years have fed, since as
with Prophets hand, these lines were
traced, and yesterday we we're told that
"GLORY DE TO Con, ON HIGH; ON
EARTH, PEACE, AND GOOD WILL TO
MEN, are to be the words Of the first
message transmitted over the Oceanic

Grand is the line, and grander still

Adam, to End the New World by its

praise, In accents softer than a woman'E

When, down into the bosom of the
sea, those words shall sink like pearls
of price, and syllable by syllable, shall
reach The other shore, even as the pill
grims through the old Red Sea.
Over the unbroken prairie of a sub
merged Coatnent beside the groves
of coral, and the heaps that glittere,
through Clarence's dream Of drowning
beyond the silver tremble of the moon
below the foamy ploughshare of th
storm, when winter drives his teau
afeld and sows the siect broadcast wher
Heaven seeds down the deep witt

shod from world % world

THE HUSBANDS SONG.

Rainy and rough sets the day
There's a heart beating for somebody;
must be up and away
Somebody anxious for somebody!
Thrice has she been TO the gatc--
Thrice has she listened for somebody;
Midst the night stormy and late,
Somebody's waiting for somebody.
There U be a comforting fire
There'll be q welcome for somebody's
One in her neatest attire,
Will look to the table for somebody,
Though the STARS fed from the west,
There is a star yet for somebody,
Lighting the home he loves best
Warming the bosom Of somebody.
There'n be a coat DER the chair,
There will be slippers for somebody,
There'Il be q wife's tender care
Loves loudest endorsement for somebody
There'll be the little ones charms
Soon twill be Weakened for somebody;
When I have both In my arms,
o! but how blcst will be somebody!

that day to the child and her new

Queen of the Green People, sward and
footstep could not more ioyously have
met together. The grasshopper bound
ed, i'm fearless trust, upon the hem of
her frock; she threw herself down on
the grass, and caught him, but oh, so
tcudcrly; and the gay insect, dear to
poet and fairy, seemed to look at her
from that quaint, sharp face of his with
sagacious recognition, resting calmly on
the palm Of her pretty hand; then when
he sprang off, little mOth-likc butter
flies peculiar to the margins of running
waters, quivercd up from the herbage,
huttcring round her And there, in
front, lay the Thames, glittering thro'
the willows, Vance getting ready the

like herself, his pride Of incipieut man

A private letter, written at Hastings,
Minnesota, Aug. 10th, to a gentleman
Of Cincinnati, says:
The Democrats have finally COM
mcnced work, and both organizations
arc progressing very rapidly. They
will adjourn, ] think, within ten days,
aud the two constitutions will be so much
alike, that it win be impossible to tell
the parentage Of either one from the iu-
strument itself In many respects it is
a great advantage to the Territory that
the division has occurred. 1t has check
ed the radicals in both Conventions,
and expedited business very considera-
bly,,
The contest will be a very exciting
one before the people The evil most
TO be apprehendcd, is the postponement
of the admission of the State. If the
election should result in a strong Re
publican majority, no doubt the admin
istration will seek to exclude her, and
i'm that event I think the State organi-
zatiou, which will be provided for
this fall, will 90 to work independently
Of the two parties, the Republicans
are at present by far the most hopeful
and cheerful. The opposition are, of
course, Dragging of the future, but
there is more Of disappointment and
bitterness expressed in all they have to
say about the prospect AS to the mer-
its of the two organizations, technically.
our men arc right upon the record from
the commencement. The precedents
and common usage arc with them al
