CHILDHOOD is like a mirror, catch
ing and rejecting all around it. Re-
member that an impious or profane
thought, uttered by parents lip, may
operate upon the young heart like a
careless spray of water thrown upon
polished steel, staining it with rust,
which no after-scouring can efface.

BY MRS. p. A. ROGERS.

ny MRS. p. A. ROGERS.
Now the clouds are dark and drear,
Yet above the sun is shining;
Mortal, still each rising fear,
Look but for the "silver lining
Droop not, though along life's way
Fade and die thy cherished flowers;
They have left the earthly clay,
But to grace immortal bowers.
Harken to the sounding sea.
List the song its music telleth;
Saith its murmur unto thee,
.'Pearl and gem within me dwelleth.
"Pearls, and gems, and coral caves,
Make my depths bright Elysium
But my bleak, tempestuous waves
Veil the sight from mortal VISION
Saith the snow-clad, dreary earth.
buds within my breast are hidden,
Spring will come with song and mirth,
And my flowers shall burst unbidden-
burst in fragrance and in light.
Yelling mount and crag with beauty;
List! they tell, with fond delight,
Love is close allied with duty"
Each hath its allotted task,
Man alone is fainting. weary;
Up. and throw aside the mask!
Life is not all dark and dresry.
Spirit chords, electricities
Bind our souls with the immortal;
Spirit hands, beyond the skies.
Wait to ope for us the portal
Wait to ope the pearly door,
Where the golden gates are swinging;
Tread with US the starry floor,
Where supernal chimes are ringing.
Then, though clouds are dark and drear,
Yet above the sun is shining;
Mortal, still each rising fear,
Look but for the ''silver Inning"

THE HENPECKED MAN.
BY RAPIER.

1 saw him once with form erect,
With proud and yet gentle mien
His eyes with cheerful light reflect,
His face alight with smiling sheen;
He moved along amid the throng
As gay as "any other man,"
In habits good, in business strong.
A favorite he in fortunes van.
l saw him next with downcast eyes,
With bended form and shambling gait,
Avoiding those whom he passed by
Like one possessed with morbid hate;
His clothes hung loose, and tattered were
His face was mapp'd with wrinkles DER
He looked a wreck of gaunt despair,
Cast down on Mis'ry's desert shore.
Oh, what had bent that stately form:
Oh, what had dimmed that cheerful eye:
Whence came that poison canker-worm
Which eateth till its victims dies
asked-I heard. The man had wed
A scolding fend in woman's clothes,
And by the nose forever led,

Like the starlight, free, OH deep green sen,
When the moon hath fed the night;
And the locust looks like pale Young bride;
When the April sunhrams shiuc
But proudcr thing is the torrs, king
Is the lordly mountain pine.

Where the dark nlaSnpias CLEAN;
Of the orange blooms in the deep green gooms,
the palms bes tic the stream.
But myself sigh FOR Northern sky,
Where the glacial clouds rcclinc:
For towering hill and rushing rill
And the lur,lly mountain pino.
For find home, if chance to roam
Where the win'ling mountains he.
And see n friend if the blue skies bend
Ocr that m,lcless mountain tree
Then love The blast, MS it whistles past.
With melody divine
When its pale white wings sweep the strange

OF the lortlly mountain pine.

woman,s Work in the Civil War.

The refining influence OF our patriotic and
christian women was strikingly manifested in
this war they brought all the gentleness and
tenderness of home to the wards Of suffering; put
forth their potent and magic influence early and
la,e, in their quiet homes and on the theatre of
active strife and danger, to rouse, to cheer. and
to sustain. While this quiet record exalts
woman's mission, it shows what woman can do
when inspired by worthy ambition. The les
sons Of this book should be effectully learnd by
every American woman, just now when her du-
ties, rights, and capacities for labor under
going serious discussion. This work is pre-
pared under the sanction and approval of the
Sanitary and Christian Commissions, and is
the only one on the subject that makes any ap-
proach to completeness. 1t records the indi-
vidual labors of nearly 600 ladies, besides or
ganized and united effort. 800 pages Illus

plan recently adopted by this Society,
of holding occasional meetings at the
residences of the country members, the
first meeting Of this character was held,
on last Saturday afternoon, at the resi-
dence Of James Hamilton, east from
town. Mr.. Hamilton has about fourteen
acres under his special attention Most
of this ground is devoted to the cultiva-
ton of grapes. His vines are in good
condition. and the crop very large, but
unfortunately much injured by rot and
blight. After examining the vines and
the garden, the company we're turned
loose upon the blackberry patch. The
berries were Of the finest variety, aver
aging an inch in length and thick in pro-
portion, and were highly relished by the
fortunate devourers. Altogether, it was
one of the most pleasant events in the
hietorv ~ II" Society.
