Once was Pure.

! CThe following poem regard as one Of the most
touchngly beautiful in the language, and well worthy
| of attentive perusal by every reader:1
Obi the snow the beautiful snow,
Filling the sky and earth below:
Over the bouse-tops, over the street.
Over the heads OF the people you meet:
Dancing,
Fitting,
Skimming along.
Beautiful snow it can't do nothing wr, ng,
Flying to kiss n fair lady's check,
Clineing to lips in n irulicsome freak,
Beautiful snow from the heaven above,
Pure as an angel, as gentle as Lowell
oh: the snow the beautiful snow,
How the flakes gather and laugh they go
Whirline about in its maddenng fun.
II plays in its glce with every one,
Chasing,
Laughing.
iIurrying by
" lights mp the face, and 1t sparkles the eyel
And even the dogs, with bark and bound,
Snap at the crystals that eddy around.
The town is alive and its heart in glow
To welcome the coming of beautiful snow.
How the wild crowd goes swaying along,
Hailing each other will. humor and song
How the gay sIedges, like meteors, flash by,
Bright for the moment, then lost TO the eye
Ringing.
Swinging,
Dashing they go,
Over the crust of the beautiful snow.
Snow so pure When II falls from the sky,
To be trampled in the mud by the crowd rushing
by,
To he trampled Ond tracked by the thousands of
feet,
Till it blends with the filth in the horrible street
Once was pure as the snow-hnt fell
Eel! like the snow flakes. from heaven TO hell,
Fell to be tromped as filth the street.
Fell to be scoiled to be spit OH aud beat;
Pleading,
Cursing
nreading to die,
Selling my nj to whoe, er would buy.
Dealing IL shame for a morsel If bread,
Hating tie living and fearing tie dead.
Merciful Godl have fallrr $" low7
And yet was once like the beautiful snow.
Once I was fair like the beautiful snow,
With eye like It's crystal, n heart Ne ITS glow,

How strange ii should be, when the night comds

A Remarkable Case.

Tho Mlwauke. Wisconsin relates the
following particulars of a very remarkable
case:
The gossipping circles have been n good
deal agtatod Of late by the numerous pc
culiar cases which have given employment
to their tongues and imagination. The
latest affair of the kind is located at. a
boarding house, in a aceniral location on
the east side of the river. and from the pc.
culiarities OF the case we can hardly do
more than give hint as to the main facts,
without entering into details, unless we
fill up the Objectionable passages with
stars, to which the community seem TO
have great repugnance.
1t appears that the lady of the afore-
said boarding house had an excellent girl
to work for her, whom she was lo'h to
part with; but one day the girl came TO
her mistress and told her she was sorry,
but she must leave her. The mistress re
gretted it, and inquired the reason, asking
her if she had not always used her well,
and if she did not like the place. The
girl said she had no fault to find with her
mistress, but the truth WAS she could not
get along with her husband This aston
ished the mistress for she was not aware
that he had anything to say about the
house, and she inquired what he had done.
The girl candidly replied that he was in
the habit Of coming to her room after she
had got to bed, and bothcring her.
The mistress assured her that if that
was all the trouble she had had. she need
not leave, for she would fix all that. She
then told the girl to 90 and sleep in an
other room that night, and she, the mis-.
trcss, would occnpy ;he girls room. The
arrangement was satisfactory, and the wife
chuckled at the nice little trap she was
laying fer her crring spouse. n ght came
on apace, and her sable curtains darkened
the room OF the servant girl, where lay
the artful wife in the servant girls bed -
But not yet had she been joined by her
husband, upon whom she was about % in
flict cruel, yet laughablc joke. Soon he
came, and she welcomed him to the snare
she had plancd for him. Time passes and
tho moment arrives to spring the trap up
on her recreant husband, and prove to his
face his t'oachery and wickcdncss. She
arises and lights the gas, and stands be-
fore him so as to ovcrwhclm him with
shame, when, oh such screa another

Illustration Of Law.

A good story WAS rife in our city, lately.
which served to show that poso ssion is

lawyer, and resides next door to b. The
houses A.and B. occupy, are similar in
appearance, and as they adjoin, are easily
mistaken by a comparative stranger. q.
being out Of coal, walked to the coal mar.
kot, purchased load for $3.50, and sent
il h pme. The man Of whom he purchas.
ed, mistakes the yard Of A. for that of b.,
and dumps the coal in As yard. The
lawyers man sees the coal in the yard, and
gets a wheclbarrow and shovel and puts il
into the cellar. b. is in "peck Of trouble
that his coal does not come, and goes out
to find tho man from whom he bought it
"See here, my country friend, bought
a load of coal of you, and you have net de
liyered it," said he AS soon rs he had found
the collier p
"You bought the load and paid for IT,
and | delivered it." said tho coal dealer.
Here the thought struck B., that he saw
co ] in his neighbor's (he lawyer's) yard
and Immediately starts for the lawyers Of
flee, and finding him, thus accosted him:
"Mr A, suppose yoa should'buy load
of coal, and thc man should rut it in the
wrong yard, what would you require OF
the gentleman who appropriated il :"
"Wel, sir" said the lawyer, 81 should
either make him return the coal or pay
the amount pal for tho load"
"Very WE'LL" said Mr.. B., "just give ms
So 80" "' -
The lawyer gently drew thirty cents
from his pocket and handed it I'd Mr.. Il.
"What does this mean, Mr.. Az You
owe me So more" said tho aStonishet B.
"Not at all" said the lawyer; 81 charg"
SO for my advice?'

ENORMOUS TrMoR..-Tho Cleveland
Medical Gazette contains an account of the
most enormous tumor on record. The
weight was about twic, that of tho suffer-
or who bore it, and was estimated at one
hundred and seventy pounds. For
the last four or five years Of the patients
life she was vigorously confined to her bed,

the right training of your children.

MAKE FARMING LABOR FASHIONABLE
AT the base of the prosperity Of any peope q
lies this great rinciple-moke farm, labor
fashionable at home. Educate, interest,
encourage; and offer all the incentives you
can ofer,t give interest and dignity to labor
ofhome. Enlist the heart and the intellect
of the family in the support of the domestic
system that will make labor attractive at the
homestead. BY means Of the powerful in
fuences Of early education, endcavor to in
vest practical labor with an interest that
will cheer the heart of each member Of the
family. and thereby you vii. give to your
household the grace, peaca' refinement and
attraction which God designed homestead
should possess.
The truth is we must talk moro, think
more, work moro, and act more, in iefcrncc
to questions relating to home.
The training and improvement of physi.
cal, intellectual, social and moral powers
and sentiments of the youth Of our country.
require something moro than the school

ing influences ofthe family govrrnment.-
virtue, wisdom, and strength to the edu
cation that controls and shapes the home
policy of the family circle
There can be no love of country whore
there is no love of home. Patriotism, true
and genuinN, the only kind worthy of the
name, derives its mighty strength from
fountains that gus'l ont around the hearth
stone; and those who forget to chers
the household interests, will soon learn to
look with Indifference upon the interests Of
their common country.
We must cultivate thcroots,not the tops.
We must make the family government,
the school the church, the shop, the
agricultural fairs. the labratorics of our fu-
ture greatness. We must educate our sons
to be farmers, ariizans, architects, engineers
geologists, botanisis, chemists-in word
practical men. Their eyes must be turned
from Washington to their States, counties,
townships districts. homes. This is true
patriotism that will perretualy preserve

A Cars CUNNING The family Of
Captain W, of Salem, had cat that
was great favoritc, and was much petted

the bell was rung; the mistress replied
that she had not rung the bell. Not
many days after this was repeated, to the
no small surprise of all concerned. Tho
bell would ring, tho servant would enter
the parlor, but no one there would know
anything Of this matter. Here was mys.
tery which no ono could solve. Was the
house haunted? Was the witch tims
coming againi
At length the lady of the house resoly
cd to discover the bol.ringer; an a fortu
nate observation ticrly led to the de,ec.

that on more han one occasion Puss had
come int, the room with the servant who
was called so mysteriouSly, and she began
to suspect that her pet had som connection
with this unaccosrtab!e bel.rihsng. She
therefore directed tnc servant to put tho
cat out Of the room and to watch her
movements. 1t was not long before the
parlor bell rang, rs usual; and en- running
to the only place where the wires of the
bell came within reach of tho cat there
was Miss Puss, with her claws Mt work on
the bell wires; by pulling which, she had
