Steady and slow,

And words cf dre they soon will glow
Wonderful words that without sound
Shall traverse the earth 10 its Utmost bound
Words that shall make
The tyraDt quake,
And the bonds Of the slave oppressed shall break
Words that can crnmbie armys might,
Or treble its strength In a righteous fight,
Yet the types they look but leadcn aud dumb.
As he puts them In pace with his finger and thumb
Bat the printer smiled,
And his work beguiied,

A DINNER TABLE CLEARED IN A Hurry.
A singuler incident-ouc that does not hap

quiet village in the south part of Barnstable.
1t was about tho time OF The midday meal.
The thrifty housewife had the table set,near-
ly If not quite ready for dinner-a nice din
ner-and was using the waiting moments
for her husbands return by putting things
SO rights in the cellar. Unluckily trap
door communicating with the cellar was
left open. just then an elderly woman, a
visitor from B., entered, to make call upon
family in another part of the house. She
did not see the trap until it was too late.
but as she went through the opening. her
presence of mind !" led her TO seize the
n, Arrest thing at hand, which proved TO be

and smashing load of glass and crockery

she landed gracefully in soap barrel. IL
is easier to imagine then TO describe the
CONSERVATION of Mrs. on receiving a

guess, there were many fractures, simple
and compound, there were no broken bones

A Plea for the Mafthas.

There are two classes of good women
the Marthas and the Marys. The former
represent the active, and the latter the pas
sive voice of femenine conjugaiion. With
out by any means controverting the script
ural idea, we borrow the names there used
to illustrate facts in modern social life
Both Marthas and Marys are affectionate,
but the love of Mary is a sentimental dream,
and evaporates in verbal homage and empty
caresses. Mary will tie bouquet for you,
or possibly knit purse, if she has abun-
dant leisure She will join you in quiet
stroll, especially when the calls of duty are
urgent in the house but even then she pre-
f.rs a drive. She absorbs attention without
rendering any; she makes luxury CT
friendship, and either wears il like jewel
or drinks it like a julip. She sweetly as
sures you that you are worth SO much TO
her." Meantime, except that she charms
your fancy, she is worth very little TO you.
With Martha ii is otherwise. Her love
is uniring and practical. She gives where
Mary receives. She prepares the entertain
ment which Mary enjoys. She smooths
your pillow, while Mary is kissing you good
night, and repairs your wardrobe in an ante
room while you are lost in slumber, mean
while breathing prayer for your welfare
of which you do not dream. She takes
charge of the children while you go with
Mary to the excursion; she packs the re-
freshnhenis for the picnic while Mary helps
you arrange the flowers. She takes cheer
fully to the toughest duties, because her
dress is of Frm material, that will neither
tear nor soil while Mary requires your aid
to protect from injury her gossamer barege.
1t there is any repulsive task that must be
done in solitude, that admits no assistance
and elicits 10 praise, give yourself no un-
easiness; Martha will attend to ii. She
has positive genius for that kind of thing,
Indeed, Martha is very convenient person
to have in the house. 1t is pleasant TO
think that she win do whatever she can for
YOU, and that she does il because she loves
YOU. You sometimes drop her kind word
when you think of il, just TO see how her
face lights up in consequence. And some
times she is almost pretty. You regrctthat
she looks ordinarily SO thin and anxious.
You hear her cough of a morning, and ex-
cusc an occasional neglect of some of your
stated comforts. You are surprised and
shocked when she dies someday. You blend
your tears with Mary's, MARY is beautiful
in tears,) and yoa feel that sympathy is
sweet. You plant a rose-not a thornless
rose--above Martha's grave. and after a
proper interval of sorrow-marry Mary.
