The Red Hand.

"Great nations hare great skenses''
Oh, she stitch Ike queen,
'Twixt her stately sweeping seas
Broad, clear forehead, eyes serene,-
Who shall misinterpret these
Who shall question the high truth
OF her strong, immortal youth
When she calls for harp and viol,
That the grieyed souls may sing,
When she bids the worlds enslaved
Der her fair fields wander, saved,
Who shall hurl back denial
To her great souls offering
Doth she stand as angels stand,
On her height so erystal-clear 7
Doth she wave her snowy hand,
That the captive. drawing near,
May find respite and repose
From the burden of his woes
On that hands appraised whiteness
Doth the ruby CLEAN so red
Apple-blooms, e-hushed and veined,
Not more silently are stained,
Yet-that ruby's royal brightness.
Shall we call it blood, instead
Oh, her silyer-footed rivers
Go forth, singing, to the sun
Prophet-song the silence shivers
Where her thunderous rapids run
But they cannot drown the moan
OF the hearts she hath undone
And by those free waters, never
May she unreproved stand.
Till her late remorse hath called
Out of gloom her own CENTRALIZED,
And her God hath washed forever
The red stains from that white hand.

LADIES SHOULD READ NEwsPAPERs.-It
is one great mistake in female education to
keep young lady's time and attention de-
voted to only the fashionable literature of
the day. If you would qualify her for con-
versation. you must give her something to
talk about, give her education with the ac-
tual world and its transporting events
Urge her to read newspapers and become
familiar with the present character and inn
provement Of our race. History is of some
Importance. but the past world is dead, and
we have little comparatively to do with it.
Our thoughts and our concerns should be
for the present world to know what it is,
and improve its condition. Let her have
an intelligent conversation concerning the
mental. moral, political and religious i'm
nrovements of our times. Let the gilded
annuals and poems on the center-table be
kept partof the time covered with weekly
journals. Let the familv-men, women
and children-read the newspaper.

Hope there is hope everywhere It is only

caused principally by the change of water
