Another beautiful contribution from our
gifted lady friend:
TO MOTHER IN HEAVEN.
By JULIA W

Y } q A w
When the rosy fingered morning,
Ushers ia the coming day.
And the smiling face Of nature,
In tranquil beauty lay;
When the tiny howrets 5remble.
Beneath their diamond dew,
With my morning prayer ascendeth,
Mother, thoughts of heaven and you
When the silver lamp of evening,
Lights the sable brow Of night,
And its kindling rays now scatter,
Ger earth its mellow light;
When my weary eyes turn upward,
To the star bespangled sky,
Something in their brightness tells ne,
You're smiling from high.
Mother dear methinks I see you,
In that shining realm afar,
With wreath Of glory beaE1ing
From your sweet seraphie brow
And hear the heavenly music,
OF your pure angelic band,
While upon the air there foateth,
Breathings from the Spirit Land
Dreaming oft, sit beside you,
As in childhood-even now,
And 1 feel the gentle pressure,
OF your hand upon my brow
And hear the gentle accents,
Falling from your lips so mild,
As in fervent prayer you ask for
Blessings your waYward child
Oh fain would join you mother,
In your far-of blest abode,
For to me the world is dreary,
Lifes a dark and thorny road
Yet III daily struggle onward
'Gain5t the ills of care and grief,
For at last a crown awaits me,
And the time will be but brief.
In that fair celestial city,
1 shall you once again,
Where farewell words are spoken,
And the heart throbs not with pain5
Round the shining throne together,
Wen sing Gods endless love,
And wander on mid golden fields,
In that bright cline above.
NEW CASTLE, September, 1866.

T0urnoments-It is with peculiar pleas
ure that we witness the rapid growth into
popularity Of the Tournament. 1t Is to US
a welcome sign of healthful growth of a
noble sentiment of chivalry. It is an en-
nobling pastime-an heroic play, and no
people can be ignoble among whom it -four
ishes. OF old it nourished the highest spe-
cimens Of manhood that the world has seen
Under its teachings and exercise a knight
came to be Synonymous with all that was
brave and true, and gentle and strong. Its
curriculum is not lower or less effective for
good to-day. Therefore, we say, speed the
tournament. Let it become a national play.

Marriages at the great mass Of
marriages that take place all over the world
what poor, contemplate, commonplace
things they are A few soft Looks, a dance,
a squeeze of the hand a popping Of ne
question, purchasing Of a quantity Of mus
lin, clergyman, short journey, and the
whole matter is over. For FIVE or six weeks
two sheepish looking persons are seen dang
ling about On each others arms looking at
waterfalls, or making calls, and guzzling
wine and cake; then everything falls into the
most monotonous routine; the wife sits on
one side of the hearth, the husband on the
other and little pleasure little cares, and
little children gather round them This IS
what ninety-nine out Of a hundred find 70
be the delights Of love and matrimony. Pity
tbs, tis true. But why 50? For these,
mainly, we opine:
1st Marriages are founded too much on
peeuniary considerations and those Of con
venience, and too little on cOngenial afee-
ton and cOngeniality.
ID. The married parties, instead of stEig-
ing to become wiser and better, usually be-
come selfish, iIl-tempered and mentally inert.
