A lark in the mesh of the tangled vine,
A bee that browns in the flower cups wine
A fly in the sunshine-such is man.
All things must end as all began,
A little pain, little pleasure,
A little heaping mp of treasure,
Then no more gazing upon the sun.
All things must end that have begun.
where IS the time for hope and doubt2
A puff of the wind and all is out.
A turn at the wheel, and rest is won.
All things must end that have begun
Golden morning and purple night.
Life that fails with the failing light.
Death is the only deathless one.
All things must end that have begun.
Ending waits on the brief beginning,
Is the prize worth the stress of winning?
Fen in the dawning the day is done.
All things mnst end that have begun.

A STRANGE TALE OF THE SEA.

About year ago last month, the
schooner Andy johnson, Mcclellan,
master, of Salem, started for Georges
banks, on fishing cruise, and has not
been heard from since. About that
time the schooner Haskell came in COL
lision with vessel in the night time
on the banks, and sunk her, leaving a
large piece of the rail of the unknown
vessel on her bows. This piece cor
responded with the Andy johnson, land
is supposed to be the last relic of her.
The Haskell started last month for the
banks, and the first night on the fish
ing grounds had bad weather. Four
of the men were on deck, when sud-
denly there appeared to them four OF
the missing men of the crew of the
johnson, who ordered them home.
They were frightened, and called
the captain and the rest of the crew,
told them what they had seen, and
prevailed upon them to give up the
voyage and return home, which they
did, leaving the schooner on her ar
rival. The owners then shipped q
new captain and crew, as not one OF
the former crew would go in her, and
she again left for the banks, where
she arrived in good time, and they
again tried their luck. Bad weather
again met the schooner, and, when all
hands were OH deck, eleven men ap.
peared to them and took their lines
from them, ordering them to return al
once, which they did the next morn.

ter, they anchored the schooner and
took the small boats to land, giving as
q reason that they were afraid to take
the vessel to Gloucester, as they were
ordered to Salem. The owners sent Q
tug-boat and towed the Haskell to
their wharf, and now she is reported
as returning tho third time empty

Mrs. STANTON has been making
trouble out West. 1t seems that the
indomitable Elizabeth recently deliV-
cred a lecture in St. Paul 'sto ladies
exclusively" and with what 7direful
result let the Pioneer tell: b &dE
The lecture, which was upon the
rights an1 wrongs of women, mar
riage and maternity, wasa very inter-
esting and instructive one. All were
charmed with the delicate and agree
able manner in which the speaker
treated the different topics that were
considered. She argued that young
ladies ought not to marry before they
were twenty-five years old. AS a
large portion of the audience consist
ed of young unmarried ladies, this
part of the discourse was not very
well relished. 1t is said that one
young lady of eighteen summers, the
day of whose marriage had been fixed
for some time in June next, last eve
ming informed the gentleman to whom
she is to be married that the time
must be postponed for seven years,
He protested, but she was fixediin her
determination, and declared thato it
was no use talking. Mrs. Stanton
had said that no young lady ought to
be married before she was twenty-five
years old, and she wonld not be mar
ried "minnit afore that time if it
took the last coil of fax she had on
her head" The young man left her
to mediate upon the matter, and not
withstanding that he belongs to the
Young Mems Christian Association,
he was heard using some very hard
words about Mrs. Stanton.Q ba71s

A CERTAIN CURE FOR EAR-AcHE,


We have recently seen several re-
ceipts published asrb6neficialfino cases
ofaear-ache; but one who has a severe
attack of that malady- will, we think,
soon find the inefficiencybof thenrall.
There is, however, one remedy which
the experience of several years has
taught us is unfailing. -,
No house should be without its bot
tie of arnica. 1t is Indispensable in
cases of cuts, burns and bruises, and
in ear-ache it is sovereign cure. As
soon as any soreness is felt in the ear
which feeling almost alway precedes
the regular :" ache "--let three or four
drops of tincture of arnica be poured
in, and then the orifice filled with a
little cotton to exclude the air; and
in a short time the uneasiness is for
gotten. If the arRica is not resorted
to until thercis actual pain, the cure
may not be so speedy, but it is just as
certain. If one application of the ar
MICA does not effect a cure, it win be
necessary to repeat it, it may be, sew
eral times. 1t is sure preventive for
gathering in the ear, which is the usu-
al cause of ear-ache. ( aiit'.a,{

The great want of women at pres

honorable to work for money as for

and involving the most terrible risks,
shall be the best paid work in the

The meaning of this is, that wives
