THE NEWSPAPER;
OR, THE WIFEs GOOD SENSE
A SKETCH TO READ BT THE MAN VINO RE.
TENcHEs BY DIsCoNTINUING HIS PAPER.


The old farm house wore quiet, pleas
ant look, as the setting sun gilded it's
small windows, over which the luxurant
grape vines were carefully trained. In
the open door sat the farmer with little
morocco covered book in his hand, on
which his attention bad been fixed for
the last hour. He was man of method
and order-old Richard Heath -and aside
from his regular account books. which he
always kept with scrupulous care, he al
ways set down in his little book, in the
simplest manner possible, all his expenses.
no very complicated amount by the
way, and all he had received during the
year. 10 the metal, as he said, not by
the way of trade.
The last account he had just recconed
up, and the result was highly satisiacto-
ry, If one might Judge from the pl asant
expression of his face as he turned to his
wife and addressed her by her pretty, old
fashioned name,
"Millicent," said he, "this has been
lucky year. How little we thought when
we moved TO this place, twenty. five years
ago, that we should ever get five hundred
dollars a year out of this rocky, barren
farm"
1T does pay for good deal of hard
work" said She, "to see how different
things look from what they did then"
"Now, / am going to figure up how
much we have spent" said Mr.. Heath !;
"don't make a noise with your knitting
needles, cause II puts me out"
The wife laid by her knitting in per-
feet good humor. and gazed over the
broad, rich fields of waving grain, which
grew so tall around the laden apple treee,
that they looked like massive piles OF
foliage. Hearing her own name kindly
spoken led her own thoughts Ear back, to
the past for after the lapse Of twenty Eve
years the simple sound of the name she
bore in her youth, means more, to a wife,
than all the pleasing epithets Of dearest
and darling, so layishly offered in long
past courtship.
Very pleasant was the retrospect 10
Millicent Heath. The picture ofthe past
had on it some rough places, and some
hard trials, but no domestic strife or dis
content marred It's sunny aspect. There
were smiling faces on it--happy chill
dren's faces, without which no life picture
is beautiful Sof. blue eyes shone with
unclouded gladness, and Wavy hair float.
ed carelessly over unwritten foreheads
She forgot, for a moment, how they were
changed, and almost fancied herself again
the young mother, and tiny hands stole
lovingly over her bosom. and young heads
nestled there as Of old.
The illusion vanished quickly, and she
sighed she thought Of her youngest born,
the reckless boy who had left her three
years before for home on the sea. Once

home sickness in that light and careless
way that reached the mothers heart more
surely than repining and complaint. To
know that he suffered. with strong
heart, with noble and unyielding Fesolu-
ton, gave her feeling Of pleasure not
unmingled with pride.

CLOUDLAND.

BYE. RANnALL.
Majestic, gorgeous, Cloujland!
Unto hegazers eye
It's changing panorama
Is ever passing by.
lrs bright, sun-tinted pictures,
OF every form aud hue,
Are painted on a background,
or deep, eternal blue.
A lovely summer Cloudland,
Smiles down ON all below
And white clouds in that Cloudland
Forever come and go.
We love such peaceful Cloudlands,
When in its depths We gaze,
The soul has secret longings
To thread its traekless maze.
We ofttimcs deem that Angels,
Dwell in It's halls Of air,
We know not why their pinions,
Should shun to linger there,
But gronder scenes has Cloudlaud,
To awe the guzer's eye,
When all the'wild cloud.armies,
Are hurrylng swiftly by.
And Of the dense, black vapOr
Huge clouds on clouds arc piled;
Like Alpine crags, majestic,
Like mountains stem, aud wild.
Why should we 60 to Alpland,
And mic the glaciers roam,
When wild and croggy Juras
Frown in our skies at home.
Still deeper gloom has Cloudland,
When mig and storms are there
Aud all the black winged tempests,
Flame with the lightnings glare.
ltslurid binding brightness
Bursts on the shrinking sight
One moment and black chaos
Engufs the form Of night.
The jarring, rumbling thunder
Roars through tho realms Of cloud
And clouds on clouds reecho
It's surges long and loud.
