1t is u most painful spec
tacle in families, where the
mother is the drudge, to
see the daguhters elegantly
dressed, reclining at their
case, with their drawings,
their music, their fancy
works, and their reading;
bcguiling' themselves Of the
lapse Of hours, days and
weeks, and never dreaming
Of their responsibilities,
but as Unnecessary conse-
qucnce of neglect Of duty,
growing weary of their
useless lives, laying hold of
every newly-invcnted slim
ulanC 10 alnuSe tnelr dr0Op-
ing energies and blaming
their fate when they dare
not blame their God for
having placed them where
they are. These indiyid-
uals will often tell you with
an air Of affected compass
sion-for who can believe
it real?-that poor dear
mama is working herself to
death. Yet no sooner do
they suppose that they
should assist her than they
declare she is quite in her
element; in short that she
would never be happy if
she had only half as much
to do.

DESERTED.

The river flowed With the light on it
breast, .
And the waves were eddying by,
And ths round, red sun went down in thC
West,
When my loves loving lips to my lip,
were pres.,
Under the evening sky.
Now weeping alone by The river stray
For my love has left me this many day
Left me to drOop aud die.
As the river flowed then til, rlyorfibw,
still,
In ripple and foam and spidy, - 4
On by tho .cl urch ,und rounc by The hill,
And under the sluico by. ria oil burnt
mill,
And out to the fIding,lay.
But love it no more, for delight grows
cold
When the song is sung AMI the tale is tod
And the heart is given away,
0! river, run far! o! river, run fast!
OF weeds, font on to the seal
For the sun has gone down en- my bcau.i
ful past,
And the hopo that liEo bread on tho wa
tcrs | cast
Has drifted away like theel
So the dream it is fled, and the day it is
done,
And my lips will mu rmur tho name Of
ono
Who will never come D ack to me.

ADVERTIsING TEItnis
A Desperate Encounter.

The Soldiers Messenger has
been informed that four men
and a boy, belonging to Fort
Sedgwick, Colorado, were sent
cut after wood. Each was
armed with a Henry carbine,
which is a siXteen-shooter.-
They went in an ordinary gov
ernment wagon. When they
reached their place of destina.
tion, several miles from the
Fort, the men LETT their arms
in the wagon in charge of the
boy telling him to cook din
ner for them. While the lad
was thus engaged, he saw thir-
teen mounted Indians charg.
ing down hill towards. him.
The danger was great, but the
lad had the pluck of a man.
Jumping into the wagon, with
| his knife, he cut a hole in the
cover, and seizing q rifle, he
Icoolly awaited the approach of
the foe. When they were within
twenty-five feet he fired, and
brought the chief to the
ground. This unexpected sal
utation caused the savages to
to retreat as rapidly as they
advanced. After a brief con-
sultation they charged the
serond time. The lad again
fired and emptied another sad.
die. Six more shots We're fired
in rapid succession. The say.
ages concluded a large number
of them were using the wagon
for 4 fortress, and retreated
over The hill. But before the
lad had time to congratulate
himself, they returned with
seventeen comrades. Instead
of approaching the canvas
fortress, they discreetly re-
mained at a distance, and
opened fire with arrows and
rifles on their invisible foe
When the lad fired they took
aim at the smoke. But the
boy "flanked" this maneuvre.
