WHOLE NUMBER III.

there is still something wanting and in
answer TO the interrogatory: "what lack
we yet?"-a calm, commanding voice
comes down through the din and strife of
eighteen centuries, and is echoed, to-day,
from these flower decked graves all over
the land, saying: Go sell that thou hast
and give to the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure laid up in heaven" And, as if
this were not all, another voice comes, also,
saying: though | bestow all my goods
to feed the poor, and though / give my
body to be burned, and have not charity,
it profteth me nothing. Though ! speak
with the tongues of men and of angels, and
have not charity, | am become as sounding
brass or a tinkling cymbal."
The glimpse that | gave, moment
since, of the future of the Republic, is but
one side of the picture. The other embraces
the vicisitudes and trials Unpopular govern
ment in which each man is a sovereign,
and at the same time a subject. Though
a government of the people, is the only
one under which, man can ever reach his
highest earthly estate, yet, it must not be
forgotten that it is one full of peril; full
of incendiary elements. which the slight
est commOtiOn may kindle into a sponta-
neOus confagration. Our own government,
strong as it has been proven to be, is, by
no means, free from these disturbing infu-
ences. They exist in the very immense
ness of our domain; in the variety of our
climate and productions in the diversity
of our interests and pursuits and in the
Ignorant masses of that conglOmerate pop
ulatiOn, that are fOcking to our shores
from every quarter of the globe;-includ-
ing the wandering and anti-christian Jew;
the idOlatrous and dead-worshiping Chi
nese; the bigoted and prosecuted Catholic;
and the austere and unyielding Protestant.
1t were folly to assert, that there exists no
possible chance for jar, among these
strange and incOngruous elements. Though
perhaps, not imminent, it lies among the
contingencies of the future and as against
that crisis, when civil tumult shall again
light the fires of intestine war. | hear the
soldier dead calling out to the living:
HAVE CHARITY and not alone the
dead in blue, but the dead in gray as well !;
| for the grave has bleached their treason
and smOthered their resentment | also
| hear them give the word charity, as the
| true alchemy for transmitting into harmony
| those differences which always will arise in
4 government Of the people. And, as by
| their mortality, we are reminded that these
| institutions and this government of which
we are so proud, are not ours; that we,
| too. must ieuUe them; that we only hold
| them in trust as a charity fund for the
| ORPHAN WORLD; | hear them Join in this
! benediction Nov abideth faith, hope
and charity, these three; but the greatest
| of these, is charity

ANY sINGLETHREADER


Anybody can run it. The feed can be raised
Or lowered for light or heavy work.
No more bother with the old style shuttle
with Us crude, incOuy nient, and difficult tension
adjustment, produced by threading through
row of holes, attenGed with veXing uncertainty,
great expense OF time, and breaking thread.
The Improved Shuttle admits of being Instant
ly adjusted by the inexperienced with any de-
gree of tension required for sewing anything
from LEATHER to ONE THICKNESS OF
TISSUE PAPER, (see sampes.) These Ma

supplied with extra cloth plate and leather nee
dies, for sewing leather, if desired.
Their superior workmanship, style of finish,
durability, speed, and power, running stiller and
easier than other shuttle machines, attract the
attention and elicit the admiration of machinists
and mechanics everywhere. This, and the fact
that it is almost impossible to make them break
the thread or miss a stitch cOmmends them 10

Darby and Joan.

When Darby saw the setting sun,
He swung his scythe and home he run.
Sat down, drank off his quart, and said,
"My work is done, Pll go to bed"
"'My work is done =" retorted Joan,
"'My work is done;' your constant tone;
But helpless woman ne'er can say
Her work is done, till Judgment Day.
You men can sleep all right, but we
Must toll" "Whose fault is that" quoth he.
~ know your meaning" Joan replied,
"But, sir, my tongue sh all not be tied,
l will go on, and let you know
What work poor women have to do:
First, in the morning, though we feel
As sick as drunkards when they reel
Yes, feel such pains in back or head
As would cOnfine you men to bed
We ply the brush, we WELD the broom;
We air the beds and right the room;
The cows must next be milk 'd-and then
We get the breakfast for the men.
Ere this is done with whimpering cries
And bristly hair the children rise;
These must be dress'd and dos'd with rue,
And fed-and all because of you.
We next"-here Darby scratched his head
And stole off grumbling to his bed;
And only said, as on the run,
"Zounds woman's clack is never DONE"
At early dawn, ere Phpbus rose,,
Old Joan resumed her tale of woes;
When Darby thus-"Pll end the strife,
Be you the man and the wife
Take you the scythe and nov, while |
VIII all your boasted cares supply"
Content" quoth Joan, "give me my stint )
This Darby did, and out she went.
Old Darby rose and seiz'd the broom,
And whirl'd the dirt about the room;
Which having dore. he scarce knew how,
He hied to milk the brindle COW.
The brlndle COW whisk'd round her tail
In Darby's eyes and kicked the pail;
The clown, perplex'd with grief and pain,
Swore he'd necr try TO milk agaIu;
When turning round, in sad amaze,
He saw his cottage in a blaze
For as he chauc'd to brush the room
In careless haste, he fired the broom.
The fire at last subdu'd he swore
The broom and he should meet no more.
Press'd by misfortune and perplex'd,
Darby prepared for breakfast next;
But what to get he scarcely knew
The bread was spent, the butter too.
His hands bedaub'd with paste and 1Jur,
Old Darby labor'd tull al hour:
But, lucklcss wight thou couldst NOT max,
The bread take form of loaf or cakc.
A. every door wide open stood,
In plshd the SOW iG quest of food
And stumbling onwardS, with her anut
O'ersot the churn-the cream ran out.
As Darby turn'd the SOW to beat,
The slipp'ry cream betrayed his feet;
He caught the bread trough in his fall,
And down came Darby, trough and all.
The children, waken'd by the clatter,
Start up and cry, "Oh what's the matter, !,
Old Jowler barked, and Tabby mew'd,
And htplesS Darby bawld aloud,
Return, my Joan, as heretofore,
III play the housewives part no more;
Since now, by sad experience taught,
Compar'd to thine, my work is naught,
Henceforth, as business calls, III take,
Content. the plow, the scythe, the rake,
And never more transgress the line
Our fates have mark'd, while thou art mint
Then, Joan, return; as heretofore,

Let each our proper task attend
Forgive the past, and strive to mend"

THE MISSIONARY LADIES.

Mrs. Whitman, who was in fine
health, rode the greater part of the
journey on horseback. She was q
large, stately, fair-skinned woman,
with blue eyes and light auburn, al
most golden hair. Her manners were
at once digniied and gracious. She
was, both by nature and education, a
lady; and had lady'S appreciation
Of all that was courteous and refined;
yet not without an element of romance
and heroism in her disposition strong
enough to have impelled her to un-
dertake a missionary's life in the will
derness.
As night be expected, the trappers
turned from the contemplation of the
pale, dark-haired occupant of the wag-
on with all her humility and gentle
ness, to observe and admire the more
striking figure, and more affably at.
tractive manners Of Mrs. Whitman.
Meek, who never lost an opportunity
to see and be seen, was seen riding
alongside Mrs. Whitman, answering
her curious inquiries, and entertain
ing her with stories of Blackfeet bat
ties, and encounters with grizzly bears.
Poor lady could she have looked in
to the future about which she was
then so curious, she would have turn
ed back appalled,, and have fled with
frantic fear to the home of her griev-
ing parents. How could she then be-
hold, in the gay and boastful noun

and speech so much diverted her, the
