NV BOYu0OD'S HOME.


How sweet II lie to dwell upon
Those happy days NJ yore,
Recalling scenes that we on earth,
Shall see again no more
To think Of boyhOod's happy hOme-
Oh. theme Of dear delight
When memory foudly iiles to thee,
The past appears so bright.
oh, often in this world Of care
MY heart 10 memory hies;
think of parents dear, who're nov
With angels in the skies.
A brothers laughing voice was tire,
A sisters look Of love,
A paradise this earth appeared,
Descended from above.
A mothers kiss--a fathers smile,
feel their influence yet
lime may roll on and memory fail
Yet, these cant forget
This world to mes bright offeringsro'gh
And fortunes on me smiled
Yet. all these things I'd freely 81,
To be again a child.
I've wandered far DER many lane
I've mingled with the gay:
I've listened Ia the joyous song
To drive dull care Awayj
Yet. mid these btauteous scenes Earth,
Wherever may roam,
find no pleasure In compare
With boyhood's happy home.

in one Of the Frederika bremen books |;
There is much goodness In the
world, although at superficial glance
one is disposed to doubt il. What is
bad is noised abroad. is echoed back
FROM side to side. and newspapers and
the social circles find much to say about
il; whilst what is good goes at best like
sunshine, quietly through the world"

The following is one Of Mr.. Prentice 9

".Sonaet.me-It is a sweet, sweet song,
warbled to and fro among the topmost
boughs Of the heart, and filling the whole
air with such JOY and gladness as the
songs of birds do when the summer morn
ing comes out Of darkness and day is
born on the mountains. We have all
our possessions in the future which we
call 'sonaetinae' Beautiful flowers and
singing birds are there, only our hands
seldom grasp the one, or our ears hear
the other But, oh, reader, be of good
cheer, for all the good there is golden
'sometinse,' when the hills and valleys of
time are all passed when the wear and
fever, the disappointmenta and the sorrow
of life are over, then there is place and
the rest appointed by God On, home
stead, over whose roof fall no shadow
or ever clouds; and over whose thresh>
bold the voice of sorrow is never heard;
built upon the eternal hills, and standing
with thy spires and pinnacles of celestial
beauty among the palm trees of the city

under thy shadows, where there is no
more sorrow nor pain, nor the sound of
weeping sometime.

How Sheridan Went to See His Ride.

During the late meeting of the officers of the
Army of the Potomac in this city. Mr. Pugh,
the enterprising manager of poets, lecturers
and artists, rendered to a number of the assem>
bled heroes an invitation to visit the exhibition
of Sheridan's Ride, at the Academy of Fine
Arts. Most of them stood among the crowd of
visitors before the celebrated picture, but Sher>
idan himself was too modest to look at his own
picture at time when hundreds Of his fellow
countrymen were discussing both the painting
and the man. But he would not leave the city
without seeing the pain'ing-few persons could
do that-and he therefore went alone and early
in the morning to see what Mr.. Buchanan
Reads idea of his ride would prove to be.
How he liked the picture has not trarspired.
At all events, he exhibited no emotion which
made him conspicuous, but without doubt his
heart throbbed with quicker beat as the can
vas recalled the stirring scene. On leaving the
hall he stopped for moment before a chrome
of the painting. The young man in attend>
ance, ever anxious to extend the influences Of
art, inquired of the visitor, Cwithout looking up
from the book in which he was rapidly enter
ing the sale of chromos), if he would like to
buy one of these pictures. "A capital likeness,
sir, Of General Sheridan, said he.
The Major General put his hands in the
pockets of his citizens dress, and mildly re-
piled that he did not care particularly for =
likeness of Sheridan.
But the horse. sir said the young man;
That famous black horse, there is no other
picture of him in existence

The Death of Miss SalIie Jelf, aged 1O5
Years.

=
Years.
Miss Sallie Jelf, the oldest inhabitant' of
New Jersey, and probably of the country. died
at her residence in Elizabeth, on Saturday after
noon, in her 1O5th year. She was born in that
city, March 27, 1865. The father Of Miss Jelf
who was English merchant, died while she
was young, and although having lost much Of
his property by the depredations of the Hes.
slams and the depreciation of the currency, he
left her in comfortable circumstances. Her
memory did not desert her until a few days
before her death, when she became wholly un-
conscious. Up to that time she was cheerful
and contented. She resided many years with
her niece, Miss Mary Chetwood, who with the
exception of an old and attached domestic, was
the only other inmate of the house, in which
she had lived 60 years She could read with
ease ordinary newspaper type. She remem>
bered distinctly the breaking out of the ReYo>
luton of '76, and loved to tell of her conversa-
tions with George Washington and General
Lafayette, and the banquet she acknowledgement
in their honor-on their visit to Elizabeth at
the head of the American army during the
great Jersey Campaign She clearly recollect-
ed the burning of portion Of Elizabeth by the
Hessians. She had not been out of the house
for nearly Is years, and had never seen q loco
motive, or ever ridden in a horse-car.-TNew

the corner stone being laid with impress

the school first class A cademy, and the
project is in the hands of gentlemen
quite competent to secure its success.
The building is beautifully located, and
will be finished in an attractive style.

The House has at last done what the
good name of the country demanded and
should have done long ago. It passed
the bill putting the name of Mrs. Lincoln
on the roll for pension of $4,000 annu-
ally. Judd drew up the measure and
got Dickey to introduce it, because Penn
sylvania, and not Illinois, had the floor.
There has been considerable talk about
this matter in the Senate, and the bill
will be opposed there, though it does
not seem as if it could be defeated.

GOOD ADVICE.

Because You flourish in worldly affairs,
Don't be naughty and put airs,
With insol Ut pride OF station!
Don't be proud, aud turn up your nose
At poorer people, in palmer clothes,
But learn, for the sake of minds repose,
That wealth's bubble that comes and goes |
And that all Proud Flesh, wherever it grows,
Is subject to irritation.

Alone ! walked the ocean n strand,
A pearly she'll was in my hand;
l stopped and wrote upon the sand
My name, the year and date.
As onward from the spot l passed,
One lingering look behind | cast,
A wave came rolling high and fast,
And washed my lines away.
And so me thought twill quickly be
With every mark on earth from me
A wave of dark oblivion sea

Where have trod the sandy shore

OF me. my day, the name l bore,
To leave no track or trace.
And yet with Him who counts the sands,
And holds the water in His hands,

Inscribed against my name,
Of all this mortal part has wrought,
Of all this thinking soul has thought,
And from these feeting moments caught,
For glory or for shame.

HUMAN WEAKNESS.

As men toll up the mountain side,
The weary day,
And from the top behold the sky,
Yet far away!
So holiest men, from youth to age,
Make pilgrimage.
We may depart, the valleys deep,
And high ascend,
But yet around US is the earth,
Until the end.
Ourselves, alas we cannot raise
Above our days.

WORK FOR MAY.
Loveliest month of the year. Every
tree and plant seems to take q new
lease of life. All animated nature re-
ceives new impetus; the grass grows,
flowers bloom, leaves put forth, and the
birds fill the air with their music.
All this seems as though it was spec
tally designed to cheer the husband
man on in this busiest of seasons. How
ever, while the season is auspicious for
poetic ideas, the farmer will find that
which to him is Of more Importance at
this season of the year, in hauling ma
nure. blowing the ground, planting
seeds, and the thousand-and-one other
things, all of which seem to demand
his attention at one and the same

BEES.

In the press of work the farmer too
often forgets this interesting emblem of
industry. Each hive should be exam,
ined every morning, and all worms that
may be found, removed and destroyed.
The best trap for the moth is a wide
mouth bottle partly filled with sweeten.
ed water to which has been added a lit
tie vinegar. Glass fruit jars answer
this purpose admirably. These traps
will do little or no good until the last of
the month. AS they are cheap and sim.
pie, and of easy application, they should
be set too soon rather than neglected
for one night. The only precaut;on
necessary is not to allow the bees to get
in them in the daytime. Empty the
bottles often and renew the bait.
Now is one of the best times for re-
painting wooden buildings. 1t is a
matter Of surprise that men of means
neglect the protection of the wood work
of their buildings. l know men with
money to lend, while the weatherboards
of their houses show no signs of paint.
OF course the wear and decay caused
from this neglect eats up big per cent.
on what it will cost to protect such work
with good coat of paint. AS to the
color that-w shall paint our houses, let
every one take his own choice. In cit
les and closely built towns, where the
smoke soon destroys the brightness
and beauty Of white, some darker shade
will be found necessary. It is, howev-
er, to my mind, an evidence of a want
Of an appreciation of the beauty which
is attainable in the pure country air, to
be copying after the dull, sombre hues,
which are more matter of necessity in
the city, than choice. Yet fashion rules
everything, and hava no doubt if some
Of our copying farmers were to 90 to
