Live Bravely.

The world is half darkened with crosses
Whose burdens are weighing them down /;
They croak Of their stars ana i'll usage,
Aud group in the ditch for crown.
Why talk to the wind Of thy fortune,
Or clutch at distinction and gold 2
Hthou canst not reach high on the ladder
Thou eau steady its base by thy hold.
For the flowers. though hid in the corner,
VILLAS faultlessly finish its bloom
Will reach for sparkle of sunshine,
Fhat the clouds have no: dared to consume
And would'st thou be less than flower
With tlought, and brain, and hand ?
Why wait for the dribbles Of fortune,
When there's something that these may
command 7
There is fouu to be won from the furrow,
Aud forests that wait TO be hewn,
Thereis marble untouched by the chisel
Days that break on the forehead of June.
Will ye let the piow rust in the furrow--
Unbuildcd home or hall
Nor bid the stones wake from silence
Nor fret, as IL ffetting were all2
Go learn Of the blossom and ant hill,
There's something thy labor must give;
Light the beacon that pierces the tempest,
Strike the clod fromihy footing and live,
Eive--not trail with thy face in the dross-
heap,
In the track of the brainless and proud,
Lift the cerements away from thy manhood,
Thou'rt robbing the dead of a shroud,
There's words and there's pens to be
welded,
There's thoughts that would die ifunsaid,
Would'st thou sauDter and pine away roses,
Or sepulchre dreams that are dead 7
No. drag not thy hope to the pyse,
Dreams dead from the ashes will rise
hook not down OH the earth for its shadow
There is sunlight for thee,in the SHES.

/" Dear Mother"

But Just now onr eye fell upon these
precious words, the sole inscription
Of a stray scrap of paper on the desk
OF our "sanctum. Who wrote them,
matters not--tbey may have been the
heading of u letter, written, or one
intended to be written, but thrown
aside ere it was begun. Magical
words--the tendereSt and holiest Of
our tender, yet sturdy Saxon tongue,
which, among all the tongues spoken,
is pre-eminently rich in tender and
loving words. Magical words---ut-
tered by every son and daughter Of
man since Adam walked in paradise
Who cannot dwell upon them with
the rapture of living love, or the de-
light of sacred remembrance? Dear
Mother! 1t is the fond plant Of the
helpless nurseling-the gushing cry
Of childhood and youth--the earnest
utterance of manhood, and a1iong
the fairest memories of old age,
Dear Mother Whether present
or absent--and though absent or dead,
yet ever present--how have these
words, inspired by the tie that links
her most aAectiouately to the human
race, rung over the earth in notes OF
joy and triumph, or in chords of sor-
row and anguish. How have they
brooded in the deep places of the
heart, begetting the holiest emotions,
the pureSt thoughts, the sweetest rec
objections. From the son, away on
the deep, clasping her parting gift,
che Bible, to his breast, or his own
heavy hands to a fevered brow, how
have the words, Dear Mother"
sped over lands and seas, until they
found, and nestled, in the mothers
heart, From the daughter, parted
from home by that other tender love,
which babe her fersake father and
mother to follow the young lord Of
her heart, how fondly the "Dear
Mother" " has posted back to the
home hearth, burthened with the fra
GRANGE Of affection. From beds of
sickness, from goals Of crime, from
depths OF misery, shame and remorse,
how increasingly have come up those
precious words, "Dear Mother
How many a warriors soul has
breathed them out on the battlefield
how many felon has uttered them
out from a prison-cell how many a
son and daughter have sped them joy-
fully to announce fruition of desire,
goal of triumph.
Whatever the path and whatever
the fortune, the q" Dear Mother" has
shared in all the destinieS of her
children. She has nurSed them, she
has trained them, she has been loved,
and mourned, and remembered by
them. The father may have lapsed
FROM the child's memory, but the
Mother, never! Humble or high,
the tie has been equally tender. No
soul could supplant her, no being fill
her place, 1t was blood crying for
blood, with a deathlcSS yearning-
with longing which no years could
satiate. Dear Mother" on earth
or in heaven and if not on earth, in
heaven thou surely art, beautiful
among the angels--to thee, thy love
and thy virtues, may our hearts be
eternal monuments. Enduring all,
all, never hopeless, never
weared, but loving on and loving
ever, amid sorrow and shame, as in
JOY, and gladness, and glory, thou art
worthy of the fond phrase, " Dear
Mother r"-worthy ofthe affection and
reverence which have made thee an
idolor the consecrated shrine Of home,
and wherever y human pulse throbs

About True,

Women are too much regarded in
the world as mere nurses over sick
men, and women, and children, AT
ter marriage she is supposed to do
nothing else in the world. She is
supposed to live in perpetual round
ofbathings and aannellihgs, nostrum-
izing and binding up bruises to the
end Of time, as if the world were one
grand hospital for muling men, who
must be coddled, and toasted, and
cared for like big babies in their nurs-
es' arms.
Please grow up out of this nursery
dom, good brothers, and give us
chance to know life in its beauty as
we'll as in its necessities. A six
thousand years man ought by this
time to be nearly grown, past pap
and sugar plums, And we must in
sist that he shall walk like a man,
from his innate strength spon'ane-
orsly 20 alone, and not be wheeling
as heretofore in the using Of his feet.
Our public speakers grow mawl-
lin over their domestic relations, tell
of the delights Of returning after the
disappointment, and frettings, and
fatigucs Of their career, to cheerful
companion and fireside, where they
forget their former Ngonies in the
"bosom Of their family" All this
is very well, but did our brothers ev-
or think that this disappointed, jaded,
overweight man might not be q
very agreeable household companionY
Did he ever think that when he took
upon him the responsibility Of fam
lily, he had no right to so live that
all the burdens Of his own discomfort
would be gOrnered thereY
Men complain Of fretting wives
and disorderly households, but the
fault lies mostly with themselves
They receive what they give. Truth
for truth, love for love, is the law to
both man and woman. At present,
the household is not properly Spprc-
Ciatcd, is not reverenced. A man
marries, and then plungcs into occu-
pations that monopolizcs all his time
and attention, and tho consequence Is,
that undue burdens fall upon the wife,
and she is made perpetual serviter
"a chroniclor Of small beer" and all
is disorderly and ungenial, because
there is no unity Of purpose in thu
family relation. Ten to one opposite
interests are established, and a sys
tenn of deception and evasion takeI
place of that noblor oandor which
should distinguish household.
Husband and wifo should be join
partners, equal in dignity az the,
: should be in love, Did they walk po
litically in this social aspect, true
dignity would bO impartcd to TIN
household. The wife now is too do
peaaont, presumed to bo too imbccil
ior higher relations, and to the Sol
comes to following the tolerating
not approaching, spirit Of the father
and thus the woman is treated as
sort Of grown up child, both at hom
aud abroad.

Drive Ahead F!

"Drive ahead, my boys" was the
sage advice Of one who knew the ne
cessity Of constant exertion in the
accomplishment of the designs and
purposes of life. Drive ahead, keep
about your business, no matter what
it may be, SO long as tits honest, and
you ao sure Of coming out right side
up in the long run. 1t is not the man
who is all impulse to-day, and pet
rif'cation tomorrow, who succeeds
in life, bus the constant though slow
laborer in the worlds vineyard. We
have quite too many fast men in the
world for its good. They are of no
special benefit to themselves, and cer-
tainly not to anybody else. They
are as unstable as water; to-day one
thing, snd tomorrow something else:
always'doing something but accom-
pishing nothing. The slow, unde-
WAITING worker is the drive ahead man
after all, aud whose labors, because
constant, are productive, benedcient
and useful.

grows very fast In this country; the Locust
can be grown from the seed IN three or four
years, sufficiently large for fence posts.
FENCING. .'...
A claim can hardly DO found without

can be made ut a cost Of about forty cents a

think, the most available to start with the
