Transit Gloria Brevis.
BY ALBERT PIKE.

BY ALBERT PIKE.
When Autumn's chilly winds complain,
And red leaves withered fall,
We know that Spring viii laugh again,
And Leaf and flower recall.
Butwhen Love IS saddening Autumn wears
The hues that death presage,
No Spring in Winters lap prepares
A second golden age.
So when Life's Autumn sadly sighs,
Yet smiles its cold tears through,
No Spring with warm and sunny skies
The souls youth will renew.
Love blooms but once and dies for all:
Life has no second Spring:
The frost must come, the snow must fall,
Loud as the lark may sing.
o Love o Life We fade like flowers
That droop and die in June;
The present, oh, too short is ours,
And Autumn comes too soon.

ADVICE TO THE MARRIED.
Zchokke, in one of his tales, gives
the following excellent advice:
In the first solitary hour after
the ceremony, take the bridegroom
and demand a solemn vow of him
and give him VOW in return
Promise each other, sacredly
never, not even in jest, to wrangle
with each other-never to handy
words or to indulge in the least
ill-humor. Never-I say, never |!
Wrangle in jest, and putting on
an air Of ill-humor merely to tease,
becomes earnest bypractice. Mark
that! Next, promise each other
sincerely and solemnly, never to
keep a secret from each other,
under whatever pretext, and what
ever excuse it might be. You
must continually, and every mo-
ment, see clearly into each others
bosom. Even when one of you
has committed a fault, wait not an
instant, but confess it. And as
you keep nothing from each other,
SO, on the contrary, preserve the
privacies of your house, marriage
state, and heart, from father,
mother, sister, brother, aunt, and
all the world. You two, with
Gods help, build your own quiet
void. Every third or fourth one
you draw into it with you will
form a party and stand between
you two. That should never be.
Promise this to each other. Re-
member the vow at each tempta-
ton. You will find your account
in it. Your souls will grow, as it
were, to each other, and at last
will become as one. All, if many
a pair had, on their marriage day,
known this secret, how many a
marriage were happier than, alas,
they are!

- A Lady who had refused
an awkward but wealth suitor,
said to a friend as he passed :

horses 7" "No, indeed" replied
the other, "not if he kept a livery
stable"

A club called the Lazy Society
has been formed in East Bridge
port, Conn. 1t already numbers
several hundred members. Two
members have been discharged
one for striking a musquito which
had lighted on his face, and an.
other for gaping too quickly and
opening his jaws too wide. A third
member was censured for running
down hill, but was let off on the
plea that he was too lazy to hold.
The society is in perpetual session.

She blushed and smiled as she
saw Luke, and then turning her
eyes upon her father, waited, du-
tifully, to hear what he had to
say.
"Mary, this young man-may-
hap you've seen him before-has
brought me a lot of tubs and bar
rels, all of his own make-a right
good article, too. He asks a heavy
pricefor 'em; but if you are will
ling, well and good; and hark ye
my girl whatever bargain you
make your old father will ratify."
AS Mr.. Blifkins said this, he
considerably stepped out of the
room, and we will follow his ex-
ample. But the kind of bargain
the young people made can readi-
~ be conjectured by the speedy
wedding that followed.
Luke Jordan every year, on the
anniversary of his marriage, de-
lights his father-in law, by some
handicraft by which he gained
what he declares to be "the best
and dearest wife in the world.'

to foot.

The old mans face softened.
''Mary is good girl, a very

chin with a thouthtful air, land

What can you do?n
The young man looked rather
blank at this abrupt inquiry.
"If you refer to my abilities to

vigorous puffs at his pipe. 'Now,

no more than / choose that my
daughter should be pale, spirit
less creature, full of dyspepsia and
all manner of fine lady ailments,
instead of the smiling, bright-eyed,
rosy-cheeked lass she is. l did
say that she should marry no lad
that had been cursed with a rich
father; but she's taken a foolish
liking to you, and I'll tell you what
I'll do; go to work and prove your
self to be a man; perfect yourself
in some occupation-I don't care
what, so it be honest; then come
to me and if the girl be willing,
she is yours"
AS the old man said this he de-
liberately knocked the ashes out
L
of his pipe against the pillar of
the porch where he was sitting,
put it into his vest pocket, and
went into the house.
Pretty Mary Blifkins was wait
ing to see her lover down at the
garden gate, their usual trysting-
place. The smiling light went
from her eyes as she noticed the
sober, discounted look.
"Father means well," she said,
as Luke told her the result of his
application. "And l am not sure
but what he is about right" she
resumed, after thoughtful pause,
''for it seems to me that every
man rich or poor, ought to have
some occupation"
Then, as she noticed her lovers
grave look she added softly:
"Never mind; I'll wait for you
Luke"
Luke Jordan suddenly disappear
ed from his accustomed haunts,
much to the surprise of his gay
associates. But wherever he went,
he carried with him in his exile
these words, and which were like
a tower of strength to his soul,
''Pll wait for you Lake"
One pleasant sunshiny morning
in October, as Farmer Blifkins
was proping up the grape vine in
his front garden, that threatened
to break down with the weight of
its luxurious branches, a neat
looking cart drove up, from which
Luke Jordan alighted with a
quick, elastic spring, quite in con-
trast with his former easy leisure
" movements.
"Good morning, Mr.. Blifkins.
l understand that you want to
buy some cider barrels. I think I
have some here that will just suit
you"
"Whose make are they7" in
quired the old man, as he opened
the gate, he paused by the wagon.
''Mine," replied Luke, with an
air of pardonable pride; "and I
challenge any cooper to beat them"
Mr.. Blifkins examined them
critically, one by one.
"Theyll do," he said, coolly, as
he sat down the last of the lot
"What will you take for them Z"
"What I asked you for six
months ago to-day-your daugh-
ter, sir"
The roguish twinkle in the old
mans eyes broadened into a smile.
"You've the right mettle in you,
after all" he cried. Come in, lad
come in. I shouldn't wonder if
we made a trade after ALL"
Nothing loath, Luke obeyed.
Mary tripped out into the entry.
Her round white arms were barred
above the elbows, and bore traces
of -four she had been sitting.
Her dress was a neat gingham,
over which was tied a blue check
ed apron; but she looked as win
ming and lovely as she always did

much as the coarse arts, which
feed, clothe, house and comfort a
people. I should rather be

Michael Angelo-nay, if I had
son, | should rather see him a
mechanic who organized use, like
the late George Stephenson, in
England, than a great painter
like Rubens, who ouly copied
beauty. In short, I. take more
interest in cattle show, and feel
more sympathy with the Pope's
bull than his bal-Ium. Men talk
to me about the absence of art in
America. You remember the
STUN that M used TO tWadqle
forth upon that theme, and what
transcendental nonsense got de-
livered. from gawky girls and long
haired young men. I tell them
we have cattle swows and mechan-
