GRACE GREENWOOD.

In the wake Of Lola Montez comes
Grace Greenwood. She appeared as m
invite lecturer and last night before a
large audience delivered her address upon
The Heroic in Common Life. There
coald scarcely DO stronger contrast than
is presented by these two women. The
FIRST, r citizen of the world, rejecting in
her brilliant face the blended beauty and
passion Of many races, and in her infinite
grace Of manner the splondor Of courts

lures children, and the orors of whose
life may al 10 traced to that saddast Of
misfortunes, & wrong beginning, misdir-
ectod cliIIhool. Born 70 dazzle, to fas-
ciaato, to rule, without one sacred purpose
in Ito, ler chroer has been brilliant, won
dortul AL unfortunate. Tho thirst for
aduotion and power, tie canker Of world
lness and soIfshness, has not eaten up all
her woman'y lave for tho beautiful and
good, and the waning years Of Lola Mon
tez may blossom with holy deeds and gen
tie charities. Grace Greenwood, nurtur-
ed from chil,lhood amid the sacred in-
auenccs Of n Christian home, has never
been thrust into eartA's most difficult
places, nor stood face 10 face with its
tierceot temptations. Beautiful as sister,
wife and mother, q Iorgobrained, wonder
ful-eyed, dewoyheartol woman, to whose
soul al that is grand and glorious in hu-
manly isl siblc, he takes 10 false words
upoa her lips, when she talks 70 the mas

Hannibal.
BY. NJ. A. DAY.

Hannibal was a Carthagenian gene
raj. He acquired his great distinction
as a warrier by his desperate contests
with the Romans. Rome and Carthage
grew up together on opposite sides of
the Mediterranean sea and for about 100
years they waged against each other
most dreadful wars. There were three
of these wars called in history the
'three punic wars" Rome was sue
cessful in the end and Carthage was
entirely destroyed. Their real cause of
disagreement and hostility to each 9TH
er was merely rivalry and spontaneous
hate. They spoke different language,
they had different origin, SO they hat
ed and devoured each other. Those
who have read the history of "Alexan-
der the Great" will recollect the diff
Guilty that he experienced in besiegeing
and subdueing Tyre great marital
city situated about two miles from the
eastern coast of the Mediterranean sea.
Carthage was originally founded by a
colony from Tyre, it soon became a
great commercial and maritime power
like its mother. The CarthageniaDs
built ships and with them explored all
parts Of the Mediterranean sea, pur :
chased the commodities and carried
them to other nations and sold them at
great advances they soon became rich
and powerful. They hired soldiers to
fight their battles, and soon began to
take possession of the Islands and
points on the coast, for example they
found that the Spanish districts con-
tanned gold and at first they obtained
it by selling their other various com
modities, which they procured in other
countries, paying small price in com
parison.
Finally they took possession of that
part of Spain in which the mines were
situated and worked them themselves
they founded city which they called
New Carthage. or, Nova-carthago
and it is called Carthagenia to this day

Hymn of the Harvester.

We gather them in-the bright green sheaves-
With our scythes and rakes to-day,
And the NOW grows big, as the pitcher heaves
His lift in the sweltring hay.
o no a fieldl for the mowers scyths
Hath ring as of destiny.
Sweeping the earth of its burthen 1.-THE,
As is sung in wrathful glee.
We gather them in-the nodding plumes
Of the yellow and bearded grain,
And the fash of our sicklss' light allumes
Our macrh Ger the vanquished plain.
Anon, we come with the steel drawn car
The cunning of modern laws;
And acres stoop to its clanking jar,
As it rocks its hungry jaws.
We gather them in-the mellow fruits
From the shrub, the vine and tree,
With their russet, and golden, and purple suits,
To garnish our treasury.
And each has JUICY treasure stored,
All a'neath its tainted rind,'
To cheer our guests at the social board,
When we leave our cares behind.
We gather them in-this goodly store
But not with a miser's gust,
For that great Al-father we adore
Hath given it but in trust;
And our word of death is but for life,
In the wintry days to come
Then blessing upon a reaper's strife,
And shout at this Harvest Home!
