TURKISH PROVERBS. small stone
often makes great noise. A foolish friend
is, at times, greater annoyance than a
wise enemy. You'll not sweeten your
mouth by saying 'honey." If man would
live in peace he should be blind, deaf and
dumb. Do good and throw it into the sea !;
if the fish know it not The Lord will. Who
fears God need not fear man. If thy foe
be as small as gnat, fancy him as large as
an elephant, A man who weeps for every
one will soon have lost his eyesight. More
is learned from conversation than from
books. A friend is of more worth than a
kinsman. He rides seldom who never rides
any but borrowed horse. Trust not to
the white of his turban who bought the
soap on credit.

The tattoo beats-the lights are gone.
The camp around in slumber lies;
The night with solemn pace moves on,
The shadows thfcken o'er the skies;
But sleep my weary eyes hath flown.
And sad, uneasy thoughts arise
Think of thee, oh, dearest one,
Whose love my early life has blest;
Of thee and him-our baby SON
Who slumbers on thy gentle breast:
God of the tender, frail and lone,
Oh, guard the tender sleepers rest.
And hover gently, hover near
To her, whose watchful eyes are wet
To mother, wife-doubly dear
In whose young heart have freshly met
Two streams of love SO deep and clear
And cheer dropping spirits yet.
Now, while she kneels before thy throne,
Oh, teach her, Ruler OF the skies,
That, while by Thy behest alone,
Earth's mightiest powers fall and rise:
No tear is Wept to Thee unknown,
No hair is lost, no sparrow dies.
That Thou canst stay the ruthless hands
OF dark disease and soothe its pain;
That only by Thy stern commands
The battles lost, the soldiers slain;
That from the distant sea or land
That bring'st the wand'rer home again.
And when upon her pillow lone
Her tear-wet cheek is sadly prest,
May happier visions beam upon
The bright'ning current of her breast
No frowning look or angry tone
Disturb the Sabbath Of the rest.
Whatever fate those forms may show,
Loved with passion almost wild
By day, by night, in joy or woe
BY fears oppressed, or hopes baguiled;
From every danger, every woe.
Oh, God protect my wife and child!

HARD ON THE PRUssIAN FLAG --1he La
Crosse Democrat tells this story: On Satur-
day last, young gentlemen who for several
years past has been engaged in the Verml-
lion gold region returnsd to this city, and at
the American House discovered Prussian
flag. ''What is that p says he, turning to
friend. '''Tha4 is the Prussian flag" was
the answer ''Bess the Lord p says the
pioneer. This remark created an intense
interest in the strang.r, who was questioned
as to his enthusiasm over the colors of a
European Kingdom. "Oh," said he, cit
is not because care anything for Prussia,
but 1 have been beyond civilization some
time, and when saw that flag Cred, white
and black) d-n me if didn't think the
Radicals had destroyed the stars and stripes
and got up new flag, with the red for the
Indian, the black for the Niger, and the
white for the rest Of US"

SUPPOSED FULFILMENr OF PRopHEcY.-
The Church journal has an article On the
probable bearing of current events on the
fulGl(ment of scriptural predictions and fore
shadowings. Taking Daniels ''seven times"
as beginning at the birth Of Nebuohaduzzar,
and as divided into two equal periods of
l 1850 years, it ends the first period at
about A. D. SOB to 6I5, arc the second at
A. D. 1868 to 1875. The same persecu-
ting power, typifed by Daniels "little
horn" aud by the stem horned BEAST" the
''falsc prophet and the "taalot' Of the
Apocalypse, is to close its career at the
end of the second period. Recapitulating
the stirring events in Europe, it adds that
''but one feature, the conversion of the
Jews, remains to complete the verifcation
Of the the,ry Of the great commentators, that
the decade IN which we are living is the
close of the great prophetic period, and the
beginning of Daniels time Of the end. p

"A Romantic, but True Story OF the
Empress Eugenio.

A correspondent of the Lynchburg Vir-
ginlan winds up his letter with the following
romantic story of the Empress Eugene.
In 1851, the uncle of the writer resided
as American Minister at Paris, with large
fsmily around him. At this time appeared
in society there Eugene Marie de Guzman.
Countess of Montijo; a lovely person and
an arlstocratic name securing her brilliant
oonfuests in that society, and constituting
her one of the most famous ladies in Paris.
Ii was thought, and indeed freely remarked,
that her mother was more ambitious than
herself; that the former designed for her
some great alliance, while Eugene herself
appeared a model Of simple sincerity, a girl
who would choose to consult her heart in
any matrimonial affair. Her sister had lust
married the Duke of Alba and Berwick,
llneal descendant of James IT, of England
and the worthy mother, Donna Maria, no
doubt, designed, at last an equal matrimo
NAL destiny for the more beautiful of her
daughters. But the heart is not always to
be controlled even in the most aristocratic
life, or to yield to its cxactions or convent
ences. Eugene lost hers to fine looking
blonde Virginian, young William G. Rives,
Son of the American minister They were
engaged to be married But Aunt Judy
Rives, Virginia matron, very decided and
singular in her scruples, interfered and broke
Oft the MATCH ; the Countess was too fast
for her old Virginia views of social sobriety
The woman for whom fortune has reserved
SO much, escaped the comparatively humble
match, that her heart had decided upon
the destiny of a quiet Virginia housewife
to ascend the throne of France. Alas,
what other contrasts may yet remain for
her If an event had been ordered different
ly; if prospective mother in-law had
proved complacent, the Empress, the woman
who has adorned the throne of France, and
displayed to the world the charms of anoth-
er Cleopatra, might at this moment be
quiet country matron living in a farm house
near Gotham depot, county of Albermarlo,
and State of Virginia

To Young Housekeepers.

Be satisfied to commence on small scale.
1t is too common for young housekeepers to
tegin where their mothers ended. Buy all
that is necessary to work skilfully with,
adorn your house with all that will render it
comfortable. Do not look at richer homes,
and covet their costly furniture. If secret
dissatisfaction is ready to spring up, 60 a.
step further, and visit the homes of the suf-
fering poor; behold dark, cheerless apart
ments, insufficient clothing, and absence Of
all the comforts and refnements of social
life, and then return to your own with
cheerful spirit. You will then be prepared
to meet your husband with grateful heart,
and be(ready to appreciate the toll of self
denial which be has endured in the business
world to surround you with the delights Of
home and you will cooperate cheerfully
with him in so arranging your expenses
that his mind will not be constantly harrass-
ed lest his family expenditures may encroach
upon public payments. Be independent;
young house keeper never needed greater
moral courage than she does now to resist
the arrogance of fashion. Do not let the
AS and BIS decide what you shall have,
neither let them hold the strings of your
purse. You know best what you can and
ought to afford. 1t matters but little what
people think, provided you are true to your
self, ia right and duty, and keep your ex-
penses within your means
