TEE FIRE O.V' THE ETE.sRTA.
BY FRANCES d. GAGE.

There is luxury rare in the carpet of Brus-
sells,
And splendor in pictures that hang on the
wall,
And grace in hecurtain, with rainbow-huod
tassels,
And lbrilliance in gaslight that flashes O. er
all;
But give me the glow of the bright blazing
fire,
That sparlSles and snaps as it echoes your
mirth,
And leaps, in its joy, up the chimney still
higher
When the cold winds without makes us
draw near the hearth;
The old fashioned fire, the cheerful wood
fire,
The maple-wood fire that burns on tho
hearth.
As feel its warm glow, I remember my
childhood,
And the circle of loved ones that drew
round our board;
Inc winter eve sports, with the nuts from
the wildwood,
TheYapplos 4nd cider from collars well
stored;
I hear in its roar the wild shouts of my
brothers,
And the laugh of my sisters in innocent
mirth,
And the voice of my sire, as he reads to my
mother,
Whoknits by the freight that glows from
the hearth:
The old open fire, the heath-giving fire.
The home-cheering fire that glows on
the hearth.
Like the strong and true-heartod, it warns
its surroundings,
The jamb and the mantle, the hearthstone
and wall,
And lover the household gives out its abound
ings,
Till arose tinted radianceis spread overall.
If you lay on the fuel, it ever burns brightly,
Till the days work is done, and we lay
by our mirth;
Then we gather the embers, and bury them
lightly,

The old-fashioncd fire, the life-giving
The broad glowing fire that burns on the
hearth.
1t reminds us of friends that we draw to the
nearer,
When winds of misfortune blow heavy
and chill,
And feel, with each blast, they are warmer
and dearer,
And ready to help us and comfort us still;
Friends that never grow cold till the long
day is ended,
And the ashes are laid to their rest in the
earth,
And the spirit, still glowing, to God hath
To re<indle new fires, like the coal on the
hearth:
Then give me the fire, the fresh glowing

The bright open fire that burns on the

Since 1850, Miss Cary has been Il resident

most valued and constant contributors to
the literature of the day. She and her sis

Horace Greeley is warm personal friend
of the sisters, and has long-established
custom of taking tea with them on Sunday
evening. Many Of his friends, knowing
where to find him, take this opportunity Of
calling on him, and in this way the most
eminent politicians, statesmen and thinkers
are to be found in Miss Cary's pleasant
drawing-room. The manners Of the sisters
are as simple and unaffected as when they
were living in their Clovernook home;
while their quick sympathies, large-hoart-
edness, and liberality Of thought have made
them power for good, an endeared them
to the wise and good not only of their own
but of other countries.
Miss Cary is the friend of Progress; be-
lever not only in God but in humanity;
not only in the past but in the future--a fu-
ture in which woman will assume her true
position, and share the work and the wealth
of the world with man.

Miss Alice Cary is dignified, lady-like
woman, quietly but handsomely dressed in

POLETEC.sL CONVENTIONS

In the history of every country possess
ing free institutions or claiming to possess
them, political conventions have hitherto
played leading part. Upon such bodies
has devolved the duty of ascertaining and
representing the will of the masses ana
lying the nature and demands Of the occa-
sion that called them together and provid-
ing men and measures to meet the requir-
ments of the crisis. Among these the great
constituent conventions of France and Of
the United States, at the close of the last
century, were brilliantly conspicuous for
devotion 10 popular liberty, for sagacious
statemanship and for transcendant ability
in thought and expression. After, or rath-
or, during the tremendous upheval of lsls,
in Europe, Germany and Italy appeared
upon the modern scene with conventions
remarkable for eloquence and power, and
France again, exhibited fresh supply of
genius equal TO that which illuminated the
gloomy annals of l7S7-92 with such pecu-
liar light.

ALFRED LEA few days ago died Al
fred Lee, of Georgetown, d. c., a mulatto,
and it is said half-brother of the rebel
chieitain. He was the largest dealer in
flour and feed in that part of the District of
Columbia. He was 63 years of age, respect
ed by all who knew him, and leaves a wife
and seven children, all highly educated,
and upwards of 100000 in cash and real
estate. Mr.. Lee began his career as free
colored man, and was porter in the store
which he afterwards owned and managed
for thirty years. l suppose that many white
laborers will prohnely declare that Alfred
Lee was made by the Almighty of an info
rior and degraded race-yot his beginning
and his steady progress to wealth are very
much like the history of capable and enter
prising white men who rise by industry,
economy and ability to aflluence, except
that Mr.. Lee labored under great disadvan-
tages to which they were strangers. The
white retail dealers of the city were glad to
buy of him, for they could always do well
at his store. White merchants valued his
counsel, and not unfrequently sought his
aid. He was one of the foremost of the
business men of his city. But he and his
family were never asked out, and were new
er invited to associate with the families of
the men with whom he daily met on the
most familiar and cordial terms. He re-
joiced in the acknowledgements of colored
men, and deposited his ballot with pride.
Yet his equality of rights and superiority
of business talents did not confer social
equality. Social relations are regulated by
different laws. People will choose and
make their own social and family connec-
tions. But apprehension of social and con-
nubial intermngling of races is the staple
appeal of the Democracy. How clearly the
utter folly of it is proved by the case of AL
fred Lee.

A CURE EARAcHE.-Therei is scarcely
any ache to which children are subject, so
hard to bear and so difiicult to cure as ear
ache. But here is remedy never known
to fail. Take bit of cotton batting, put
upon 1t pinch of black pepper, gather it
up and tic it; dip it in sweet oil and insert
it in the ear. Put flannel bandage over
the head to keep it warm. 1t will give inn
mediate relief.

4 DIssATIsFIED PARIsHIoNEn.-

\ DISSATISFIED PARIsHIoNER.-We once
knew a man who said to his pastor, ~ ann
going to the other church after this" "Ah,
why SOP" asked the minister. "Well, If you
don't get your shoes made at my shop, 1
won't get my preaching done at yours" SO
he went off, but the following incident,
which we find i'm the Nation, rather leaves
our dissatisfied shoemaker in the shade: A
young clergyman had just buried his wife.
In the early freshness of his grief, he was
waited upon by one of his deacons, with tho
announcement that brother Smith had left
his church and gone over TO the Methodists,
"and brother Smith does say that youths
own minister-have hurt his feelings so that
he can never get over it," The tender
hearted shepherd was touched by this i'm
putation, and eager to atone to the aggrievcd
sheep for any unintentional wrong he might
have done him,
$50 up he took his little crook,
Determined for TO find HIM
which he did, sulking over some job of his
trade of house-carpentry. After an expen-
diture of much afIectionate entreaty and
skilful ross-questioning the minister elic-
tied the following: "Well, the fact is, knew
there wasn't much chance of your wife get
ting well, so l went to work two or three
weeks before she died, 80 as to have it al
ready, and made just the prettiest coffin for
her that was ever turned out in this town.
I'd took her measure a hundred times, sit
ting right back of the parsons pew, you
know. didn't say nothing about it to you
beforehand, cause my woman had notion
that 1t would sort o. cut you up. don't
know why, but when heard that you had
telegraphed to Boston for one of them new
tangled burying concerns, must say felt
as if l couldn't set under your preaching no
longer, and ''set' he didn't.
