GENIUS AND LABOR.

it profoundly. Day and night it is before
me. l explore it in all its bearings My
mind becomes preYaded with it. Then tho
effort which | make the people are pleased
to call the fruits Of genius 1t is the fruit
Of labor and thought ..-
Mr. Webster once replied to gentle
nun who pressed him to speak on sub,
jest of great Importance: The subject in
tcrests me deeply. but have not time
There, sir pointing to huge pile of let
ters On the table. is pile of unanswered
letters, to which l must reply before the
close of the session, (Which was then three
days off, have not time to master the
subject, so as to DO it justice De-.
But, Mr.. Webster, a few words from
you would do much to awaken public atten-
ton to it?' .....
IF there be so much weight in my words
as you represent, it is because do not al

The law of labor is equally binding on

PET NAMES.

Call me pet names, they arc dear to
nay heart, sang young bride to her lover
husband. And they are more OF less dear
to every wouan's heart, though We may
differ some as to what they are, and their
signifcation also There are pct names
which may be had without the asking, and
which should be far dearer, aud tenfold
more significant, than any or all others.
My daughter Memory travels back
to the days and scenes of childhood. The
old home with its familiar haunts and ten
thousand fond associations, is guest in
our thought chamber. The being whose
gentle tones and warm fervcnt kiss, first
lulled our baby cares to rest; and he who
was a guard from evil, and guide to what
ever is honest, lovely, and of good report
both seemed to be present with US, charm
ing US back to the long ago by the utter
ance of the old familiar name, our daueh-
ter What a host of flial duties, loves
and regards, rise before u.s.. as we listen
again and again to catch the endearing
toAys. We can but sigh now. that they
had so little power to move us then.
My sister, dear pet names as liSped
by that prattling brother, whose love, true
and unseifsh, shall live and bless all along
lifes journey. and echoed and re-echoed by
band of merry-hearted sisters, whose con-
fdencc, sympathy and affection, grew dear
er with each advancing year. My sister,
Holy word, and should be spoken only in
reverence and love. Priestess at the Home
Altar How does her life strike roots of
duty and love deep into the household of
hearts. Precious names with which To-
nance and fancy have little to do.
Years pass-life has taken deeper if not
graver shades; the measure of our mission
in the home of our girlhOod is filed, and
new life awaits us.
My bride.' A manly form is near us
"a manly heart all free from fattery Or
deceit, beats fcndly, truly, nobly, and
beats for us alone; while the strong arm
it moves. and upon which We are to lean,
as hand in hand we 60 out to meet the
lights and shadows of life, encircles us, and
for a brief moment in which the past
and future seem mingling, we are at once
sadder and gladder than we ever knew be-
fore.
My bride.' The silence is broken
the heart is tuned to new melodies, and
the life before us grows bright with peace,
hope and JOY.
Ny wife" The same strong arm is
Western Reserve chronicle. [volume] (Warren, Ohio) 1855-1921, 1859-11-16

around us-the same loved voice is calling
us, and never, oh never was a pet name
dearer. 1t wakens the tendereSt bye
notes of the heart, deepens the souls pwest
and holiest aspirings, opens the gate to the
great harvest field, of our noblest duties,
and can but feel we have entered life's 'ho-
ly of holies.' My wifel' its utteranct is
an assurance, that the heart and home of
our husband are ours to fill with joy and
blessing, or misery and cursing. To ushas
been given the key to his happiness or voc,
and as we take possession of his confidence,
let it be such smiling gratitude and payer
full self-consecration to his peace and well
being as shall crown our efforts with the
most happy success. Then will his arm
grow stronger, his soul braver, each day
adding some new joy until our lives become
fully each others and his utterance of My
wife shall wakcn the most pleasing and
holy memories, as well as the purest and
highest hopes.
'Mother.!' Tiny hands are claspea in
ours, while we press soft velvet cheek.
Sparkling eyes look love and thanks. while
the lips are yet untaught in words. A
treasure has been given us and we feel the
heavy responsibility it involves. We lOok
far down the future, hope, wonder and
pray-feel in our new relationship living
beauty, and embodied holiness. Through
the pet name of wife dearcr now than
ever before. we have received the crown
ing glory of woman's lot, and Mother, as
It's mutely uttered by the little form ncs-
tied so lovingly to our bosom, becomes the
dearest pet name of all. And it is only
no,0 that we can fully, truly realize hp'0
aRuch our mother loved us, how much we
owe her, and now, in thought, is the only
way on earth through which she can re-
ceive her compensation.

road suddenly goes down into deep and
narrow gorge all choked with huge blocks
of granite fallen from the broken noun
tains above. and here the descent, for eight
miles, is so precipitous that the Mongols
themselves have to dismOunt. Five or six
miner walls are now passed and they might
equally be called work of giants, for no
matter what the slopes of the mountains
may be, they arise from the bottom ofprec-
ipices to their very SUBMITS and are still
fastened to them ike so many serpents.-
When the traveller emerges from this
gloomy defle, his heart must beat within
him as he directs his eyes towards the great
and mysterious city of Pekin; but there he
will see nothing but boundless plain of
sand, with few scattered farms, woods of
cypress little rivers and not patch of
green, whilst every other point of the hOri-
zon is shut up by an unbroken and majes-
tic range of blue and dreary peaks rising
like barrier between two worlds, to the
height Of five thousand feet However, as
you approach the city, of which nothing at
all can be seen until you have passed under
its very wall, the buzzing. kissing, moan
ing of men. asses. women, camels, gongs,
and birds of prey, Of monster kites, and
pigeons with melodious instruments attach
cd to them and carrying back to heaven the
extravagant inspirations of Chinese musi-
clans; in fact all the noises and smells that
come floating upon the wind over this great
wall. as if all the animal creation were
breathing within it, are things so strange
to a traveller just arrived from Paris, that
he cannot describe them. Once he has
passed under the ponderous northern gate,
measured the thickness of the stupendous
wall. and is fairly in Pekin, he viii be ut
terly bewildered; all before him is con-
fused and dusty mass of colors. men. mules,
cabs, hundreds of camels with the weary
MOngolS in their once red gown. entlroned
and fast asleep on their highest summit; an
immensely of wide, perfectly straight and
endless streets; a living ocean of the most
degraded beggars, of cooks, BARRIERS, blind
men beating upon kettle drums, orators de-
livering speeches; then, right and left, bril-
liant shops. cafes and hotels surmounted
by long poles Of all colors, wooden walls
beautifully carved and gilt over, in fact it
is scene so unique in the world, that 10
dream conld ever be so eccentric.
After travelling due south for four miles,
leaving on the left the splendid Tien-Tsin
street and its noble gate, towering like an
other Babel in the misty horizon, and on
the right the eastern wall of the Imperial
city, shutting out from profane eyes, but
over which the Imperial hills, lakes, kios-
cues, temples and cedars may be seen at in
tervals We come at length to the northern
limit Of the Chinese town.
