Cooperative Housekeeping.

Some months ago considerable interest
was excited throughout the country by the
publication cf series of articles on COOP
erativc housekeeping, proposing plan for
such an establishment. The idea was con-
sidered rather theoretical than practical, and,
although the details were infinitely set forth,
and published i'll nearly all the lending
Journals, but few persons supposed that
any attempt to carry them into actual
working ordr would be made. 1t has been
done, however, and with fair success. The
Springfield Republican says: "Mrs PIERCE
is making progress with her plan of coop
erativc housekeeping in Cambridge, though
not so fast as she could WISH About thirty
persons have SUBSIDIZED 500 each, and
few others have subscribed the smaller
sums required for the laundry alone. 1t is
doubtful if the rest of the money necessary
will be subscribed in season to open the
establishment before winter. There is
some complaint that the men folks are not
quick to concur i'll the project, and, on the
other hand, it is said that Mrs. Pierce is
attempting too much at once. A similar
scheme is on foot in Medford and reported
to be nearer success than the Cambridge
plan.

Love Of Home.

The heart has memories that never die.
The rubs of the word cannot oblterate
them. They are memories of home-earlv
home. There is magic in the very sound.
There is the old tree under which the light
hearted boy swung many day; yonder
the river in which he learned to swim:
there the house in which he knew a parent

lie romped with brother and sister, long
since alas. laid away down in the cemetery
in which he must soon be gathered, over

many occasions that call forth some gencr-
Gus exhibition of the noble trials of human
nature.
There is where he learned to feel some of
his first emotions There, perchance, he
first met the being who, by her love and
tenderness in life, has made home for
himself, happier even than that which his
childhood knew. There are certain feel
ings of humanity, and those, too, among
the best, that can find an appropriate place
for their exercise only by ones tireside.

Drought.
BY FLORENCE PERCY.

The sun uprises, large and red,
The dawn is lost i'll sultry glow;
Like furnace roof is the heaven o'erhead
Like a finder the thirsty earth below;
flushed is the grateful voice of streams,
The famished fountains and brooks arr
dry;
And day by day do the burning beams
Pour from the pitiless sky.
All things languish and fade and pine;
Buds are withered before yhey bloom;
The blighted leaves of the window-vine
Chase each other about the room;
Vapors gather, then melt in light.
Rain-clouds promise, then burn away;
And all hearts faint as the sultry night
Follows the sultry day.
Sadly adown the orchard lines
The apples shiivel and shrink and fall;
The scanty clusters among the vines
Wilt, half-ripe, on the searching WALL
The peaches perish before their prime,
The trim espaliers are bare and lorn;
Dry and dead, as in winter time,
Stand the ranks of the curling corn.
No longer the cool and gurgling songs
OF warblcrs freshen the lifeless air;
The simmering noise of the insect tllrongs
SOUNDS necessarily every where,
The ringing rasp of the locust comes
Piercing the sense like a wedge of sound
The wasp from his nest in the gable huns,
And the cricket shrills from the ground.
The hard dry grasshopper, snugly hid,
Crates his sharpest and thinks he sings;
The castanets of the katydid
Chime with the rattle of sharded wings;
laundering, booming, the beetles pass.
While bats fit silent as daylight dies;
And loud in the tangles of seedy grass
The peevish cat-bird cries.
Open-billed, with his wings a-droop,
The wren sits silent and seeks no more
The half-built nest i'll the sunny stoop,
Or the children's crumbs by the open
door;
Rustling with dead and brittle stalks
The paths of the garden are thick with
dust;
And rows of flower beds down the walks
Are baked to an ashy crust.
Parched to blackness the roses die,
Robbed of sweetness and form and hue:
Vainly the langnid butterfly
Seeks, as of old, their garncrcd dew;
Vain the hulnming- birds sweet pursuit:
The honey bee squest is sparely crowned
Happy the mole that gnaws u root
In his cool nest underground!
The fading foliage of waiting woods,
The fields all barren and bare and brown,
The city's suffering multitudes,
The parching roofs of the thirsty town,
The herds which snuff at the yellow grass
The leaves which open their palms in
vain,
The sea that mirrors sky like brass
All these do pray for rain.

she Will Not Woo Again. :"

Twas but word-a careless word,
In pride and passion spoken;
But with that word the charm that bound
Two loving hearts was broken.
The hasty wrath has passed away,
But bitter words remain:
In vain she looks with tender glance
lie will not WOO again.
No other love may light HER path;
No other move his HIS heart;
Yet changing seasons come and 90.
And find them still apart:
Her once bright cheek is paler now;
Ills bears a trace of pain;
Their days are weary, sad-and vet
lie will not WOO again.
They meet as strangers, calm and cold,
As calmly, coldly, part;
And some may guess that tranquil mien
Conceals 4 wounded heart.
To him the world hath lost it's light;
For her all joys are vain;
Nor hope, nor memory bring relief
lie will not WOO again.
Alas! that love, long tried and warm,
Should wither in an hour;
Alas! that pride DER human hearts
Should WELD such fearful power:
Oh! weep thou not for those who die
For them all tears are vain;
But weep DER living hearts grown cold,
Who meier can love again.

party. Fifty negroes were known to
have got on the railroad not many
miles from our city, after having
voted at a country precinct, and
come into town, and was supposed
to have again voted. Men of African

an old negro, late from Louisiana, csm'
with q certificate from that State AND

gagged in this nefarious practice who owe
their promotion to the Conservative ele'
msut of the county, but such men have
proven themselves unworthy the conh-
dence of any people, and at the first op.
portunity they should be made to fall
overheard. There are certain men OF this
extreme Radical party, whose names we
have heretofore mentioned, who should
be placed in the penitentiary for their
robberies committed upon this people.
They are a curse to any community which
may be so unfortunate as to receive them
But these cases are too insignificant at

NEW YORK,

New YORK, August 6.-The President
and family left on the Mary Powell yes
terdsy for the Gsrrisons, where they are
the guests of Secretary Fish.
The Spanish Minister is in the city,
but be has no direct connection with the
seizure of the Spanish gunhoats. He is
waiting for instructions from Madrid.
The boats still remain under Indictment,
and more exact information as to what
is to be done with them will probably be
learned from Secretary Fish to-day.
Mr.. Delamater, the contractor for
building the gunboats, is anxious about
the vessels, as they will cost him $780,
900 dollars in gold. Marshal Barlow
says that the boats will not be permitted
to leave their present position until their
character is changed or instructions are
received for their release.
