POETRY.
Make Home Bright and Pleasant.

Make Home Bright ana P1eaSants
More than building snowy mansions.
More than dress and fine array,
More than domes or lofty steeples,
More than station, power and sway
Make your home both neat and tasteful,
Bright and pleasant, always fair,
Where each heart shall rest contented,
Grateful for each beauty there.
More than lofty swelling titles,
More than fashions Turing glare,
More than Mammon's gilded honors,
More than thoughts can well compare
See that home is made attractive,
By surroundings pure and bright;
Trees, arranged with taste and order.
Flowers, with all their sweet delight.
Seek to make your home most lovely
Let it be smiling spot,
Where, in sweet contentment resting,
Care and sorrow are forgot
Where the flowers and trees are waving,
Birds will sing their sweetest song;
Where the purest thoughts will linger,
Confidence and love belong.
There each heart will rest contented,
Seldom wishing far to roam,
Or, if roaming, still will cherish
Mem'ries of that pleasant home.
Such home makes man the better
Pure and lasting Its control;
Home, with pure and bright surroundings,
Leaves its impress on the soul.

Mans Duty to Woman.

Let him learn to be grateful to woman for this
undoubted achievement of her sex, that it ia
far more than be, and she too often in
spite of him-who has kept Ohristendom from
lapsing back into barbarism-kept mercy and
truth from being utterly Overborne by those
two greedy monsters-money and war. Let
him be grateful for this, that almost every great
soul that has led forward or lifted up the race
has been furnished for each noble need, and In.
spired with each patriotic and holy aspiration,
by the retiring fortitude of some Spartan, or
more than Spartan-some Christian mother
Moses, the deliverer of his people, drawn out of
the Nile by the Kings daughter, some one has
limited, is only symbol of the way that wo-
mans better instincts always outwit the tyran-
ncal diplomacy of man. Let him cheerfully
remember that though the sinewy sex achieves
enterprises on public theatres it is the nerve
and sensibity OF the other that arm the mind
and inhame the soul in secret. ga man discov-
cred America, but woman equipped the voy-
age" So everywhere; man executes the per-
formance, but woman trains the man. Every
effectual person, leaving his mark on the world,
is but another Columbus, for whose furnishing
some Isabella, in the form of his mother, lays
down her jewelry, her vanities, her comfort.
Above all, let not man practice on woman
the perpetual and STAINLESS falsehood of pretend
ing admiration and acting contempt Let them
not exhaust their kindness in adorning her per-
son, and ask in return the humiliation of her
soul. Let them not assent to her every high
opinion, as if she were not strong enough to
maintain it against opposition; nor yet manu-
facture opinion for her, and force it on her lips
by dictation. Let them not cruelty her emo
tions idicule her trailty, nor crush her indi-
viduality, nor insult her dependence, nor play
mean jess upon her honor in convivial compa-
nies, nor handy unclean doubts of her, as a
wretchsd substitute for wit; nor whisper vulgar
suspicious of her purity, which, as compared
with their own, is like the immaculate white.

the CHASTITY spectacles of her blasted purity
they are answerable. Let them multiply her
sociabe advantages, enhance her dignity, minis

WOMEN KEEPING SEoRETs.--A new doctrine
is being nrQmulQated hu ssAl The Year Ron nd !,

WOMEN KEEPING SEoRETs.--A new doctrine
is being promulgated by "All The Year Round" :"
Hear it:
I'VE laugh at woman's tongue, and wonder
when woman keeps secret; but every true
woman keeps box OF choice preserves for her
own private indulgence. The mans mysteries
are not hers; if he cannot keep them to himself,
let him expect them to be blown abroad. Her
own secrets of love, of loss, of selfdena, of un-
suspected suffering, no woman exposes altogeth-
er, even to her nearest friend There never
lived husband happy in the true love of his
wife who fairly knew all the depths of her
mind about him. Every man profits stupidity
by the wise little perceptions, except in deeds,
of which we vaguely ascribe the fitness to
special faculty called woman's tact. Women,
in short, keep to themselves four-fths of the Sc
crets of society, and do it with winning air of
frankness all their own. A man with secret
will be stony or portentious, or provokingly sug
gestive; he will keep his mouth shut ostenta-
tiously. A woman is too absolutely secret to
set up public sign over whatever may lie bu-
ried in her mind. She gossips, prattles, pours
out what she does not care to hold, with such
an air of unreserved simplicity that all mankind
is mistifed, and says, in friendly jest, "a woman
only hides what she don't know Among the
uneducated poor this difference between the wo-
man and the man is most conspicuous The in
nate powers of her sex place her at once upon an
eminence which man can only reach by educa-
tioE. She must often be tied to one in whom
there is often not the grain of understanding re-
quisite to the formation of true sympathy. By
far the majority of the wives of unskilled labor
ers and mechanics live more or less happily, and
more or less conscious of the hidden life within
them, having such a seal upon their minds and
hearts,"
