The Best of Wives.

A man had once vicious wife
"a most uncommon thing in lifel;
His days and nights were spent in strife
UnceaSing.
Her tongue went glibly all day long,
Sweet contradiction still her song,
And all the poor man did W AS wrong,
And ill done.
A truce without doors or within,
From speeches long as tradesmen spin,
Or rest from her eternal din,
He found not.
He every soothing art displayed;
Tried of what stuff her skin was made:
Failing in all, to Heaven he prayed
To take her.
Once walking by rivers side.
In mournful terms, "Afy dear. he cried,
No more let fueds or pea ;e divide:
I'll end them.
s'Weary of life and quite resigned,
To drown l have made up my mind,
SO tie my hands as fast behind
Cor nature may assert her reign,
And swimming, once more regain
My troubles"
With eager haste the dame complies.
While joy stands glistening in her eyes,
Already in her thoughts he dies
est. Before her.
'sYet, when view the rolling tide,
Nature revolts,'' he said; beside,
l V ould not be a suicide,
And die thus.
''It would be better far, think,
While close stand upon the brink,
You push me in-nay, lever shrink,
But do it.'
To give the blow the more effect,
Some twenty yards she ran direct,
And did what she could least expect
She should do.
He slips aside. himself to save,
SO souse she daShes in the wave,
And gave what ne'er before she gave,
. Much pleasure.
ssDear husband, helpl sink!'' she cried;
''Thou best of wives !'' the man replied,
Iwould-but you my hands have tied,
God help yep

HOW DYE DO.

HOW DYE DO. ..
Like bad penny I am eternally
coming back, and am as hard to get
rid Of as a pug nosed daughter with
out an Inheritance. Oh! this thing
of being born with a pen behind
ones ear, it is like having unani-
nous call but no salary to suit it ;
it is especially SO with one who has
little time but great inclination to
listen to the calls Of genius. I tell
you it is not pleasant, and if I am
ever to be born again 1 will choose
the silver spoon arrangement; that
is, if I am consulted, l will.
Well, I've gone to farming. I
did not tell you this before, and so
I tell it now. Everybody farms
either in imagination or reality.
Mine is the real thing. How my
bones ache at night: and how
sleep, I only wonder that every
body does not move to the country.
Farm work is healthy. I like it.
And then the thoughts that are
travelling through my brain while
am using the hoe. Away off yon
der, outside of my field, where the
blue sky comes down to the ground,
is the city. I almost hear the din
and noise going on there It is
reasonable to suppose that every
body is pursuing happiness. But
why this eternal tnmult ? Is hap
piness so hard to find ? Is there
not enough for all ? Who invented
money? Bring out the reprobate
he is accountable for all this scramb-
ling to get upon the top rock. 1t
reminds me of a lot of rats IN tub
of water, all struggling to keep
their noses in the air. Presently
one large rat, by placing his paws
well upon others, is enabled to make
terrific spring and lands high and
dry in some secure place. But
alas his freedom has cost his mates
dearly. Many Of them sink to rise
no more, and he waves caused by
his efforts half strangle and weaken
others.
Did you ever notice how mer
prey one upon another the world
over? Nations, companies, corpc
ratlons and sects, each is striving tc
leap into the fancied secure place
If need be, of all others. Mighty
man, made, it is said, after Gods
own image, comes down to the
level Of the hyena and jackal in this
respect. I do wish some of GU,
savans, who measure the distance
to the sun and spy out remarkable
things in the sky, would tell US how
to live without eating each othel
up. But horrible, our wise mer
live, move and have their being BY
takipg hand in the same Gambia
game. Do you suppose they will
upset their own dish :? Guess not.
Somebody intimates that the
farmer is sort of rat in the sense
implied above,-hum-is that so
They say Seward has bought Rus
sia. -

over, you ask. Of course I do

A Child's Dream of a Star.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

There was once q child, and he
strolled about Il good deal, and
thought of number of things. He
had sister, who was child too,
and his constant companion. These
two used to wander all day long.
They Wondered at the beauty of
the flowers; they wondered at the
hight and blueness of the sky; they
wondered at the depth of the bright
water; they wondered at the good
ness and power of God, who made
the lovely world.
They used to say to one another,
sometimes ''Supposing all the child
ren upon earth were to die, would
the flowers and the water and the
sky, be sorry ?" They believed they
would be sorry. For, said they, the
buds are the children Of the flowers
and the little playful streams that
gambol down the hillsides, are the
children of the water; and the small
est bright specks. playing at hide
and seek in the sky all night, must
surely be the children of the stars,
and they would all be grieved to see
their playmates, the children ofmen
no more.
There was one clear shining star
that used to come out in the sky be-
fore the rest, near the church spire,
above the graves. 1t was larger and
more beautiful they thought than
the others, and every night they
watched for it, standing hand in
hand, at window. Whoever saw
it first cried out II see the star p
And often they cried out both to-
gether, knowing SO well when it
would rise, and where. So they
grew to be such friends with it
that. before lying down in their beds
they always looked out once again
to bid it good night; and when they
were turning round to sleeep, they
used to say, s'God bless the starr

Musings of Memory.


The rosy glow in the west grew faint
Twilight spread her hazy wing, -
And fitted the world DER, till She passed
= Into night viewlesS thing. -.g
Stars one by one, twinkling peeped forth,
And jeweled the brow of night.
While the tiny flowers bowed their heads
And their faces yelled from sight.
Serenely and sweet did natures charms
Thus hold my thoughts at their viii,
Ard wandered G, ,er the long, dead past, g
And wept DER the monument MIL
As scene after scene was left behind,
And fancy led to the new,
sorrowed that they should only live
In ideal thoughts-vain, yet true.
1 stro1led again DER my loved old home,
And glad thoughtS.my soul did fill, .-
And the troubl'd waters oflile's broad stream
Did hear a voice-TPeace, he stin;''
Once more stood upon the threshold
OF infancy's lisping days
Where budding youth bloomed in the sun
Peace and loves genial rays. shine
Again rested, weary and worn
With the ever dear ones there,
And loving hand with pity soothed
From my brow the marks of care. L.. Oh.
And felt my spirit soar Wild and free,
AS in childhood's dauntlSss day, f
Ere the selfish, chill breath of the world
Strewed with clouds its upward way.
Oh! would might always live as now
In the bright ideal world,
Where ills are forgotten. and faith and love
The casket of mem'ry impearled-
That man might forget he was evil born,
And that souls free, pure and white
AS the down from Off an angels wing,
Might float to the realms of light. 80 .r-
