great men of the land, and who has the

of everybody, failed. All persons sup

was daily coming money. |, was sad
that the failure was occasloned by the out
side speculation OF partner. All that
this gentleman had and all he had earned,
was at once given up 10 his creditors, and
he began life again, as he began thirty
wears ago, with the same spirit and ener-
pv. with the same cheeriulness aud lhe
same iberality. His affairs were as iaras
possible kept from his wife. But with
The quick keen eyes Of affection she saw
that more was involved in the affairs OF
her husband than lie chose 10 state TO her.
She is a woman that had the birth and
education under the unwelcome sky Of
New England, but her mental and moral
training were had under those Influences
that have raised up so many men and wo-
men of mark and talent in our land.
Asking nothing from her husband about
his matters this lady visited her husband

She knew that her husband valued his
honor more than all the wealth Of the
world, and that he felt that honor seemed
to rest under cloud. She held a, tho

was exclusively her own. She ordered

"OU 7 OF " 0 K K"
BY VIRGINIA F. TOWNSEND.

Has it not appeared 10 you, reader, ,tha at
these words were the mourniul minor key
of the closing year, the sad wall that has
irembled up from suffering hearts, thro'
all the sounds of marriage bells and the
ioyousness Of bridal leasIs' that made the
Autumn long Jubilee.
"Out of work ~ il seems 10 us this is
cry that must pierce the heart OF every
man and woman worthy of the name IN
the land a cry whose pathetic anguish
is not wrung from the lips of City Hall
mobS, or from the beggars that clamor in-
soIentIy at your doors, but from honest,
Woodworking fathers, with little children
lifting up their shivering arms for crust
of bread; from helpless young girls who
toiled early and late in shops and iacIo-
ries for the pilaDce that saved them from
starvation, and from mothers who bent
through long days, and weary nights,
over their endless sew ing, 10 gain iood
and shelter for their fatherless children.

ner of relieving the wants OF the proud

shows more of the true grain OF their Nd
aare, more of their innate right 10 the Title
Ot Gentleman and Lady than by almost
anything else. There is deicacy, and
a consideration to be evinced for the feel-
lngs Of others, which after all must be IN
auiliye, TO be at all. We do not believe,
for one, that this dark cloud which with
the close of the year rose so suddenly
over the land, was one of Gods especial
judgments, but an evil brought on of
mans recklessness, improyidence and
folly, and we believe, too, that woman has
her full burden OF sin 10 bear in this mat

SUNLIGHT.
BY sNoWDRoP,

OIL love the golden sunlight,
With its bright and rosy hue,
And il sparkIes in the dew-droP,
And giIds yon dome with blue,
As il finds a home of beauty,
In the rGinbow's brilliant light,
And steals deep in the woodland,
And Ger the mountain height.
Pale Lnna's beams fall gently,
At evenings calm, sweet hour,
And bathe with silv'ry radiance,
Each fragrant bud and flower,
Sar's deck nights sombre brow,
With beauleous diadem,
Where sparkles many a jewel,
And many flashing Gem.
Oh yes, in the starligh, hours,
A wilching power lies
And moonbeams shed halo
OF brightness DER the skies
Bot rosy, cleaning sunlight,
Like my own heart so free,
Oh the dancing, Joyous sunlight
Is lovlier, far to me.
On the peasants lowly cot,
And The monarch's 5 palace dome,
On The shores o! foreign lands,
And my own free, happy home
On the murmuring, riPling stream,
And the oceans bounding wave,
Where many gallant vessel bears
The "banners of the brave
Ii sheds alike its radiance,
And glsddens earth and sea,
Then oh in JOY or sadness,
Let the sunlight gleam on me.
