True Glory.

The tomb Of Moses is unknown, but the
traveller slakes his thirst at the we'll Of ia.
cob. The gorgeous palace of the wisest and
wealthiest of moDarchs, with the cedar, and
gold, and ivory, and even the great temple of
Jerusalem, hallowed by the visible glory of
the Deity himself, are gone, but Solomon 8
reservoirs are as perfect as ever. OF the
ancient architecture of the Holy City, not
one stone is left upon another ; but the pool
of Bethesda commands the pilgrims rever-
ence at the present day. The columns of
Persepolis are moulderng into dust ; but its
cisterns and aqueducts remain to challenge
our admiration. The golden house of Nero
is mass of ruins; but the Aqua Claudia
still pours into Rome its limpid stream
The temple of the sun at Tadmor in the
Wilderness has fallen but its fountain
sparkles in its rays as when thousands of
worshipers thronged its lofty colonnades.-
1t may be that London will share the fate of
Babylon and nothing be left to mark its site
save mounds of brickwork. The Thames
will continue to flow as it does now. And
if any work of art should rise over the deep
ocean of time, we may we'll believe that il
will be neither palace nor temple, but
some vast aqueduct or reservoir and if any
name should flash through the mist of anti.
guilty, it will probably be that of man who
in his day sought the happiness Of his fellow.
men rather than glory, and linked his mem.
ory to some great work ofnational utility or
benevolence. This is the true glory which
out-lives all others, and shines with undying
lustre from generation to generation, i'm
parting to works something of its own i'm
mortality, and, in some degree, rescuing
them from that which overtakes the ordinary
monuments of historical tradition or mere
magniicence.

Blessings of Poverty.

A happy man, surrounded by the blessings
Of poverty, thus sums up the uses of adyer-
sity:
You wear out your old clothes. You are
not troubled with many visitors. You are
exhonorated from making calls. Bores do
not bore you. Spongers cannot haunt your
table. Itineran! bands do not play opposite
your window. You avoid the nuisances of
serving on juries. No one thinks Of present.
ing you with q testimonial. No tradesman
irritates you by asking sis there any other
little article to-day, sir :" Begging letter.
writer's leave you alone. Imposters know it
is useless to bleed you. You practice tenn
perance. You swallow infinitely less poison
than others. You are saved many a decep.
tion, many headache. And lastly, if you
have true friend in the world you are sure,
in very short space Of time, to learn it.

Every man must patiently abide his time.
He must wait, not in listless idleness, not in
useless pastime, not in queru!ous detection,
but in constantly and steadily fulfilling and
accomplishing his task +; that when the occa-
sion comes, he may be equal to the occasion.
The talent of success is nothing more than
doing what you can do well, without a
thought Of fame. II it comes at all it will
come because it is deserved, not because it
is sought after. 1t is a very indiscreet and
troublesome ambition that cares so much
about fame about what the world says OF
us 4; to be always looking in the face of 9th
ers for approval to be always anxious about
the effect of what we do or say to be al.
ways shouting to hear the echoes of our own
voices.- -Lonqtellow.

"JHst Naturally SpiIIn' for Fight" +"

The following from the Cairo GaretIs will
be understood and appreciated by any one
that has ever spent an hour in the place
"Whoop {! I'm just nat'ally spilin' for a
fight !" screamed a somewhat "tosticated"
individual in front Of Springfield Block, the
other night. "I'm the best man that ever

Notwithstanding this polite and uncommon
request, urged with go much pathos and sin.
cerity, the gentleman made no impression on
the minds of our citizens, and found no one
willing to make the required Ossertion.--
Next morning we saw the youth sitting on a
pile of lumber by the river, both eyes bung-
ed up, nose fattened, half his teeth knocked
out Of his head, and his coat torn into shreds.
Upon kindly inquiring after his health and
how he liked Cairo, he remarked, "Stranger,
l like Cairo first rate-it's lively place,
and has the best society in it I've met with
since left home !"

4oetital,
Flowers.
pY LoNGFELLow.

Spake full wen, in language quaint and olden,
One who dwelIeth by the castled Rhine,
!, When he called the flowers, so blue and golden
stars, that In earth's ornament do shine.
Stars they are, wherein we read our history,
As astrologers and seers of eld;
Yet not wrapped about with awful mystery,
Like the burning stars, which they beheld.
Wondrous truths, and manifold as wondrous,
God hath written in those stars above;
But not less in the bright hOwerets under us
Stands the revelation Of his love.
Bright and glorious is that revelation,
Written all over this great world Of ours;
Making evident our own creation,
In these stars Of earth, these golden flowers.
And the Poet, faithful and ar-seeiug,
Sees, alike In stars and flowers, q part .-s
or the selfsame, universal being
Which 10 throbbing in his brain and heart.
Gorgeous howerets in the sunlight shining,
Blossoms Haunting in the eye of day,
TremulOus leaves, with soft and silver lining,
Buds, that open only to decay;-
Brilliant hopes, all woven in gorgeous tissues,
Flaunting gayly in the golden light;
Large desires, with most uncertain issues,
Tender wishes, blossOming at night
These In flowers and men are more than seeming;
Workings are they of the selfsame powers,
Which the Poet, in no idle dreaming,
Seeth in himself and in the flowers.
Everywhere about US are they growing,
Some like stars, to tell us Spring is born;
Others, their blue eyes with tears o'erAowing,
Stand like Ruth amid the golden corn;
Not alone In Springs armorial bearing,
And in Summers green.emblazoned field,
But In arms of brave old Autumns wearing,
In the centre Of his braZen shield;
Not alone In meadows and green alleys,
On the mountain top, and by the brink
or sequest. red pools in woodland valleys,
Where the slaves of Nature stoop to drink;
Not alone in her vast dome of glory,
Not on graves of tird and beast alone,
But in old cathedrals, high and hoary,
On the tombs of heroes, carved in stone;
In the cottage Of the rudest peasant,
In ancestral homes, whose crumbling towers,
Speat ing of the Past unto the Present,
Tell us of the ancient Games of Flowers;
In all places, then, AMI in all seasons,
Flowers expand their light and soul.lke wings,
Teaching US, by most persuasive reasons,
How akin they are 10 human things.
And with chldlke, crcdulous affection
We behold their tender buds expand;
Emblems of our own great resurrection,
Emblems of the bright and better land.
