The Joys Of Maternity.

Grace Greenwood, (Mrs. Lippin-
cot0 in an advertisement to mothers,
in the last number Of the Tile Little
Pilgrim, thus writes
Since last addressed you another
year has passed over us--a peaceful
and fortunate year to most Of you, l
trust, yet, doubtless, bringing to the
happiest hearts and homes something
Of change and sorrow. TO me it has
brought the most profound and sweet,
the most sacred and solemn happiness
of womanhood--ior within this year |
have been joined to the great and no.
bic army Of mothers. lam now one of
you. Oh, if there is a time when wo-
man may feel that she, like Mary of
old, is "blessed among women" it is
when she folds in her arms her first
born child, feels the touch fits tender
little hands thrill on her hear strings;
feels upon her cheek the first soft
breath Of a life immortal sees family
twinkling in the misty depths Of slee-
lpy little eyes a love that shall yet
brighten the world for her. This Joy
unspeakable, this holy triumph Of
maternity, is heaven's abundant COM
pensation for all that is suffered by
wOman-tor all that is denied to her.
With existence renewed and freshened
by the inhowing of this pure rill from
the divine fountain of life; with my
heart made more tender and loving by
the sweet mysterious influences by
which babyhood, mighty in helpless
ness, and without speech most elo-
quent, comes to us, | feel like conse-
Grating myself anew to the service of
such as Jesus took in his arms and
blessed, and Of you, whom maternity
makes kin to her once elected to the
highest joy and deepest anguish of
morality; her whom he most loved
and most tenderly remembered in his
last hour.

How HE LOST HIS HAlR.-A Nor
folk paper tells the following story:
Uri Osgood and Jonathan Aiken
were on opposite sides of politics last
fall, in Grundy County, and the fight
between them-they were running
for COngress--grew warm and desper,
ate. One day when they met on the
stump, Uri, whose head was bald, and
should therefore have been cooler, in
the midst OF his indgnation turned up,
on Jonathan and said:
81 think, sir, you have but one idea
in your head, and that is very small;
if it should swell, it would burst it,"
"Whereat Jonathan grew red in
the face, and looking for a moment at
the bare and venerable head of his op.
ponent, asked if he should say what
he thought of him2
"Say on" said Uri.
"Well, | think you haven't one in
your head, and never had; there's
been one scratching around on the
outside, trying to get in, till it has
scratched all the hair off, but it's nev-
er gotin, and never will"
Uri was silent.

Love in China,

Meadows history of the Chinese
and the rebellion, lately published in
London, is the most pilOsophic work
which has yet appeared on the Chi
nese. A chapter on love contains the
following story:
A Chinese who had been deeply
disappointed in marriage and had
grievOusly suffered through women in
many other ways-retired with his
infant son to peak Of a mountain
range in Kweickoo, to spot otquite in
accessible to the little Chinese wo-
men. He trained the boy to worship
the gods and stand up in awe and alb
horrence of the devils, but never men.
toned women to him, and always de-
scended the mountain alone to buy
food. AT length, however, the in
frmities of age compelled him to take
the young man with him to carry the
heavy bag Of rice. AS they were lea
wing the market town together, the
