ON GuARD.

AT midnight, on my lonely beat,
When shadows wrap the wood and lea
vision seems my view to greet
OF one at home that prays Ter me.
No roses blow upon her cheek.
Her form is not a lovers dream
But on her face, so fair and meek,
A host of holier beauties gleam.
For softly shines her silver hair,
A patient smile is on her face,
And the mild luslrous light OF prayer
Around her sheds moon-like grace.
She prsys for one that's far away
The soldier in his holy fight
And bees that Heaven IN mercy may
Project her boy and bless the right.
Till, though The leagues lie far between,
This silent incense OF her heart
Steals DER my soul with breath serene,
And we no longer are apart.
So guarding thus my lonely beat,
BY shadowy weed and haunted lea,
That vision seems rny eye 10 meet
OF her al home who prays for me.

bustling reader, man or woman, what a
Blessing it is that the great majority OF The
people of the world are not like you? If
you have not stop moment aad consider,
and you will thank fortune ii is so. Men
that never talk at town meetings, that don't
try 10 become postmasters al every change

elbows into a crowd, are very likely 10 pass
unnoticei thro' the world and you have the
mistaken notion that they never did you any
good Women who attend 10 their baking
and babies, who never talk scandal al sew
ing societies, and do not insist on making
the tour of the fashionable watering places

household circle Thank God for just such
nobodies. What hubbub we should live
in else The very thought of it is painful
how much worse would be The fact.
Quiet people must be those angles in dis
guse that imaginative people talk so much
about. Very likely they will never do us
any positive good The blessing we receive
from them are negative, and we pass then.
by unnoticed. They let US alone, and the in
habitants OF Secessia are not the only per
sons who wish to be lei alone we all OF US
have had that feeling more times than we
can tell. We get tired of the incessant rat
tie of the machinery OF society, and long TO
shut down the gate. Then we appreciate
the unobtrusive attention of our quiet friends;
they don't talk to when we wish 10 be
silent, or at least they only address ns with
that silent language OF the eye, which ex-
presses SO much, but never wearies US
They never bore us by making us listen TO

anger us by telling US Of our faults. They
don't hatter Us when pres ent, and don't
slander US when away. Indeed, they pass

ike the feather that falls from the wing of

II is doubtless wisely ordered that some
men should be wiling to be the leaders of
society, and should enter the lists as candi-
dates for the honors of the world There
are men who can no more restrain their
ambition than they can dam up the ocean
Their blood grows stagnant in the country,

more active and more exciting pursuits
