Mary Patton, whose nsneis hardly known
to the public, the wife of merchant ship
master, who, far off on the lonely Pacific,
with no eyeto witness and no voice to cheer
her, when her husband was taken down
by illness, now tended him in his cabin,
as none but a devoted wife can tend

A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE.


The man who stands upon his own soil
who feels that by the lawsof the land in
which he, ives-by the laws of civilized
nations-he is the rightful owner of the
land which he tills is by the constitution
of our nature, under wholesome infiu-
ence not easily irnbibed from any other
source. He feels, other things beng e
quail, more strongly than another, the
character of a man as lord of an animated
world-of this great and wonderful spere,
which, fashioned by the hand of God and
uphold by his power, is rolling through
the heavens, part is his-his from the
centre of the sky. 1t is the space on
which the generation before moved in its
round of duties, and he feels himself con
nected by INVISIBLE link with those whofol
low him, and to whom he is to transmi
home. Perhaps his farm has come tc
him from his fathers. They have gone tc
their last home: but he can trace Their
foot steps over the scenes Of his daily la

WEATHER. WISDOM,

A rainbow in the morning gives the
shepherd warning is if the wind be
seasterly because it shows that the rain
cloud is. approaching the observer. A
rainbow at night is the sheperd's delight.
This isalso good sign providing the
wind is westerly, as it shows that tho
rain-clouds are passing away. Evening
red and the next morning gray are GER
tain signs Of beautiful day. When the
glowworm lights her lamp, the ground is
always damp If the cock goes growing
to bed he certainly rises with watery
head. When, you see gossamcr flying
be sure the air is drying. When black
snails cross your path black cloud much
moisture hath. When the peacock LOAD
" ebawls, soon we'll have both rain and
squalls. When the ducks are all dri-
wing through the, burn, that night the
weather takes turn. If the moon shines
like asilver shield, be not afraid to reap
your field. But if she rises haloed round
soon we'll tread on deluged ground.
When rocks are sporting in the air, it
shows that windy storms are near. If
at the sun rising or setting the clouds APP
pear of lurid red color, extending to the
zenith, it is sure sign of storms and
oales of wind.

2 Few, perhaps, who sing this old and
Ifavorite song, remember who wrote it;
and fewer still stop to think that Charles
Fenno Hoffman, the gifted poet and nov
el;st, is an inmate of an Insane Asylum.
aPutnan,'s Monthly for August resusei-
tates the song, and thus speaks gifts au-
thor: " a large, lively, rather boisterous
man, with curling hair, ruddy face, and
spectaclcs; with cheerful music in his
voice, and cheerful welcome in his eyes;
fresh, hearty, genial, generous-such is
our remembrance of Charles Fenno Hoff-
man. Wecan see him from our window,
as we saw him in those days, when mon
lived in Murray street, and Columbia
! College had a green, and there was such
a place as College Place, and the lame
poet Che had one Voc len leg was not
too old to believe in a future, nor yet too
young to have known sorrow. How
much sorrow, wewere too young to know.
But never, now, can we hear that best of

ness in the melody than lies in the music,
and remembering, as a figure faded in q
long-gone dream, the joyous image Of its

GALLANT TO LAsr.-A correspondent of
the Evening Post writing on Woman
Question, ''says: 5sag sdI
81 confess, in all my sincerity, that I
have nevsr seen an ugly woman. This
may appear paradoxical, AMI still it is
sure truth. I never find any. woman en-
tirely ugly. I enlarged upon this idea
orce before an audience Of women. One
who was extremely flat nosed said to me:
"Sir I defy you not to find one ugly"
aye madam" I replied, "arc an angel
fallen from heaven, only you have fallen
/ on your nose." Probably she did not be-
Eeve me, and has maintained against the
| world she is ugly.

BY FRANCIS BROWN.
We said that the days were evil
We felt that they might be few,
For low was our fortunes level, --
And heavy the winter grew
But one who had no possession
Looked up to the azure dome, $500
And said in his simple fashion,, Ell
Dear friends, We are going home
This world is the same dull market
That wearied It's earliest sage
The times to the wise are dark vet,
And So hath been many an age
And rich grow the toiling nations,
And red grow the battle spears, a.
And dreary with desolations -. vi
Roll onward the laden years
WI hat need of the changcless story.
Which time hath so often told
The spectre that follows glory, s. ssf
. The canker that comes with gold.
The wisdom, and strength, and honor,
Must fade with the fair sea foam,
And death is the only winner.
But. friends, we are going home.
1.-THE homes We had hoped to rest in
We're open TO sin and strife;
The dreams that our youth was blest in
Were not for the wear of life .s-.
For care can darken the cottage,
As we'll as the palaced hearth.
And birth-rights are sold for pottage,
But never redeemed on earth,
"Thc springs have gone by in sorrow,
The summers We're grleved away,
And ever we feared tomorrow,
- And ever we blamed to-day.
In depths which the seaTcher sounded,
On hills which the high heart clomb,
Have trouble and toll abounded;
But, friends, VIC are going home!
" Our faith was the bravest builder,
But found not stone of trust
Our love was the fairest guilder, ..-.
But lavished its wealth on dust
And time hath the fabric shaken,
And fortune the clay hath shown:
For much they have changed and taken,
But nothing that was our own.

The path which so many choose;
The gifts there was found no place for:
The riches we could not use;
The heart that, when life was wintry,
Found summer in strain and tone:
