vest of her hopes. Our experience O.
nature tells US that the object of mater.
nal love and solicitude must become
/ from that moment inexpressibly deareI
/ to the mothers heart We could not
/ suppose for a moment that all that active
interest " hich for many years she had
| taken IN her daughters welfare would
suddenly cease. It's utterly impossible
that the aftectlOnate activity of the moth
er's love could suddenly disappear under
the gulse Of passive spectator. And it
is quite as impossible to suppose that she
could lmperil her daughters happiness
by displaying her love In so oficious a
manner as to excite a divided interest
where there should be but one.
1t must, however, be admitted that 10
some cases. through over zeal or possibly
through selhshness. this result is brought
about. 1t may be that the mother-in-law
owes to the too anxious discharge of her
duty the uuiattering position She occu
pies IN our current literature 1t is her
interference with " the young people"
that the young people resent. True, she
may have been wanting IN tact occasion

sOn-in-laW and daughter were not slow
to convict her for her indiscretion of
speech in some little detail of the genera
supervision which she has, in all good
faith. exercised over their happiniss
and they may have done their best to de
prIve themselves of the truest friend by
furnishing all her acts with the color Of
one little piece of impOlitic interference.

Men are justified indeed in being wary
Of marrying into family whose female
head is of this despicabie type. But the
exception does not destroy the rule. IfI
we once encountered a Muller In a rail- !
way carriage we do not expect to meet
with his counterpart every time we take
the train. The true aspect of the case is
evident If mother has loved her child /
and persevered in loving her up to the
day of her wedding. is 1t not a matter OfI
certainty almost that she will love her to
the end with the same disinterested love
which she manifested toward her before
she left her uOther's roof? If Robert
and Emily, then, are tempted to tar the
grandmother of their children with the
same brush with which so many mothers /
in law have been tarred, II will be well /
for them to look back and ask themselves
whether the thing they mediate would
not argue an act of ingratitude on their
part toward one who has been their most
faithful ally, from the possibility of the
like OF which being reproduced in their
own children they would recoil with hor-
rOr. Let this test be brought to bear
upon mothers-in-law and they need not /
fear the result.

SHAKING HARDs.

hands is a mode of greeting, the origin of

beautiful THOUGHTS.

Grief and joy-hope and fear-tearg
and smiles-pain and pleasure are all
twins. children Of the same mother
linked together throughout the whole OF
humanity. No lot, no country, no eli
mate, no scene, no condition in life may
claim the enjoyment of one without the
rebuking eompanionship of the other
No cloud, however, is without its inner
light. The blue sky still harbOrs be-
hind the canopy, ready with its sunshine,
and keeping the sad soul from being en-
tirely delivered to despair. No eondi-
tion Is so lowly, as to be without hope
no sorrow so poignant and oppressive as
not to permit the consolation of some
sweet ministers, interposing at the right
moment with compensation and perhaps
delight. There is no such thing as un-
mitigated evil there Is no such thing
as pleasure and joy without cloud or
qualification. We have only to open our
hearts to smile and sunshine not turn
our backs, or shut our eyes to the angel
ic visitor, who is always sure TO stand
upon the threshold, whenever we deserve
most need and are willing to give him
welcome. Emerson.

pirate to the present time, and viii be ap-
| preciated by hosts of readers who have
passed through the perils of house clean
ing.l
'.The melancholy days have come, the sad
dest of the year"
Ofcleaning paint and scrubbing floors, and
securing far and near;
Heaped in the corners of the room, the an
cient dirt lay quiet,
And spiders wOve their web secure from
fear and din and riot;
But now the carpets all are up, and from
the staircase top
The mistress calls to man and maid to
WELD the broom and mop.
Where are those rooms, those quiet rooms,
the house but now presented,
Wherein we dwelt, nor dreamed of dirt, so
coy and contented?
Alasi they're turned all upside down, that
quiet suite of rooms,
With slops aud suds, and soap, and sand,
and tubs, and pals and brooms;
Chairs, tables, stands are standing round
at skies and at sevens,
While wife and housemaids fly about like
meteors in the heavens.
The parlor and the chamber floor was
cleaned week ago,
The carpets shook and windows washed, as
all the neighbors know;
But still the sG71ctuH1 had escaped-table
piled with books,
Pens, ink. and paper all about, peace in
its very looks
Till fell the women on them all, as falls The
plague on men,
And then they vanish all away-books,
papers, ink and pen.
And now when comes the master home, as
come he must at nights,
To find all things are "set to wrongs that
they have sset to rights -
When the sound of driving taclzs is heard,
though the house is far from still
And the carpet women on the stairs, that
harbinger. of ill.
He looks for papers, books or bills, that all
were there before,
And sighs to find them on the desk or in
the drawer no more.
And then he grimly thinks of her who set
this fuss afioat,
And wishes she We're out at sea in ~ very
Iealzy boat
He meets her at the parlor door, with hair
and cap awry,
With sleeves tucked up and broom in hand,
defiance in her eye;
He feels quite small, and knows full well
there's nothing to be said,
So holds his tongue, and drinks his tea,
and sneaks away to bed

THE RAIN.


A wonderful thing is the rain!
A charmer whose magic never is vain,
1t says to the buried flowers, come forth
It wakes into beauty the sad old earth
To the violets hidden, Arise, it saith,
And life aWakes in the heart Of death,
GIadness and beauty are in its train,
Oh, a wonderful thing is the April raini
A wonderful thing is the rain
Earth never tires of its sweet refrain,
The songs of the ages pass away,
And the world is weary and worn to-day.
VainIy have poets dreamed and sung,
But the world of nature is ever young;
Earth still rejoiees in the sun and dew,
And the song of the rain is forever new.
A wonderful thing is the rain!
Earth's sweetest harmOnies in its train;
The soOther of sorrow the easer of strife,
Weaving its rythm in every life.
Thro' sleepless nights, with its silver china
Winging the weary wheels of time,
Oh wonderful singer! in grief or gIee,
Who can speak to a heart like thee
A wonderful thing is the raini
Linked to the spirits joy or pain,
Joyous and hopeful, or sad and low,
All as the hearts deep fountains flow,
But deeper and stronger the spell that filings
It's light or shadows on earthly things
There is the alehemist's mystic art,
A wonderful thing is the Hunsan heart!

MUSIC

" NATURE, through all her depths, is
full OF mUsic-varied In its tones and
rich in its melody. There is a music in
the stiffness of the twilight hour IN the
voice of the balmy breeze, as it sighs
amid the stirring leaves the starlit grove
or sleeps upon the calm bosom Of the re-
posing waters in the bubbling of the in
land fountain, and the thunderings of the
foaming cataract in the ripplings of the
mountain rill, and the majestic voice of
the storm stirred sea. There is music In
the glad symphonies of the joyous song
sters OF the grove beneath, and the NUT
terings of the thunders above 4; in heav-
en- on earth IN the OutspTead skies and
the invisible air in the solitary dell, and
on the mountains 8 clOudVeiled top, where
human footsteps have never left an echo;
in the deepest cells Of the passiOn-stirred
heart, and the inanimate depths Of the
material world /; in the dim rays of earth
and the beams Of those celestial lights
which gem the high armament and hight
the angels to their evening prisons in
the tones Of WOman's voice on earth, and
the devOtiOns Of the pure spirits Of a bet
ter land IN all, through all, and over
all, and forever vibrating, the rich music
of universal harmony, and the deep tones
of undying melody. Thousands OF invisi-
bic haTps are pouring their united melO-
dy through the depths of air and earth /;
millions ofarchangels touch their heaV-
en-strung Tyres, and send celestial har-
mony through the vast halls of the tenn

The following arecdote is told of distfn-
guished lawyer of Massachusetts, who, but
few years ago went F'the way of all flesh.
He had been engaged in certain case in
Roxbury, wherein he believed the jury
had done injustice to his client. DiscIailn-
ing against the verdict, he said:
''The whole Of them might have been
bribed for a peck of beans -
"What is that" said the Judge "You
dishOnor yourself and the court, as well as
the jury, by such an impeachment
81 mean no disrespect for the court your
honor, and as for myself"
''You will see the propriety, I hope of re
tracing the words"
''WiCh all due Difference to your honor 1
cannot see the propriety Of unsayipg whaS
is truer
'Do you intend to aggravate the ohense
by repeating it? Let me tell you, sir, This
is not to be suffered, and unless you retract
forthwith we shall deem it necessary to
strike you from the rolls of the court"
"Weu, since the court insists upon it, 7
suppose | can do no less than retract."
"And in very ample terms, too"
'Certainly, your honor /; and on the sec
ond tho't do it with pleasure. 4 am con
vfnced that L wronged the jury in saying
they could be .bribed for a peck of beans !;
and publicly retract the assertion. I hope

TIE rENpEP PAssroN.

A satirical rogue insists that love is as
necessary to a Woman's heart as a fash
ionable bonnet to her head. Indeed. we
think, rather more so for nothing less
than large measure of love will content
her, whereas, the present fashion shows
that she can be satisfied with a very little
bonnet. tits undoubtedly a scandalOus
observation, but a modern philosopher
has remarked-and we give the aphoTism
for what 1t is worth-that love IS so es-
sential to the very life of a woman that
in eelibacy she is unhappy without low
er, and after marriage, if she Is so unfor-
tunate as not to love her husband, she is
pretty certain to love some one else y

WHO Is Old.

A wise man will never rust out. As
long as he can move and breathe, he will
do something for himself, for his noigh-
Dor or for his posterity. Almost TO the
last hour Of his life, Wellington was al
work. So were Newton, Bacon, Milton,
and Franklin. The vigor OF their lives
never decayed No rust marred their
spirits. 1t is a foolish idea to suppose
that we must lie down and die because
we are old. Who is old Not the man
of energy; not the day laborer in sci
ence. art or benevolence but he only
who suffers his energies to waste time,
and the spring of life to become motion
less, on whose hands the hours drag
heavily.
