To A Young Girl.

You think you love the man who is COM
ing this Sunday night to visit you And he
acts as if he loves you! Suppose he declares
himself, and asks you to become his wife,
Are you prepared to say to him, II love and
will trust you through life with my happi-
ness and the lives and veal of our child
rem?
He is jolly, gay and handsome, and all
the darts of Cupid are twinkling and spark
ling in his eyes, but will those eyes always
find expression from tie love of a true
soul
Tonight he says many pleasant things,
and draws pretty pictures for the future.
Does he 60 tomorrow to work which
gives promise of the ful6lment of your de-
sires in life
Does his ambitions and achievement salts
fly you?
Does his every day life shine with the
noble endeavors of a trustworthy man ?
If you think, and desire companion in
your thinking-one who can unlock the
deepest depths of your mind-to what strata
of humanity does he belong in the scale Of
excellence and morality ? Is he doing all he
can to build up future usefulness and hap.
piness, in which you can share and feel
blessed These are questions which the ex-
perience of after years make many women
weep in bitterness of soul that they had moi

Home, Wife and Saturday Night.

Happy is the man who has little home
and a little in it, Of Saturday night. A
house, no matter how little, provided it will
hold two or so-no matter how humbly
furnished, provided there is hope in it let
the winds blow-close the curtains What
if they are plain calico, without border, tas-
sci, or any such thing !? Let the rain come
down, heap up the fire. No matter if you
haven't candle to bless yourself with, for
what beautiful light glowing coal makes.
rendering cloudless, shedding sunset
through the room; just light enough to talk
by, not loud, as in the highways nor rap
id, as in the hurrying world, but softly,
slowly, whisperingly, with pauses between
for the storm without and the thoughts with
in to fill up with. Then wheel the sofa
around by the fire; no matter if the sofa is
settee, uncushioned at that, if so be it is
just enough for two and half in it. How
sweetly the music of silver bells from tie
time to come falls on the listening heart
then. How mournfully swells the chimes
Of ''the days that are no more " Under
snch circumstances, and at such time, one
can get at least sixty-nine and half miles
nearer kingdom come" than any other
point in this world laid down in "Malte
Brun.'' May be you may smile at this pic
ture but there is secret between US, viz:
it is copy of a picture rudely done, but
true as the Pentateuch Of an original in eve-
ry human heart.

A Beautiful Sentiment.

In Agstine Daily's great play, Under
the Gaslight, Laura CORTLAND utters these
beautiful sentiments: Let the woman you
look upon be wise or vain beautiful or homely,
she has but one thing she can really give or
lefuse, and that is-her heart Her beauty,
her wit, accomplishments, she may sell you,
but her love is the treasure without price
She can only ask in return, that when you
look upon her, your eyes shall speak mute
devotion that when you address her, your
voice shall be gentle, kind. That you
shall not despise her because she can not
all at once understand your vigorous
thoughts and ambitious plans, for when mis-
fortune and evil have defeated your greatest
purpose, her love remains to console you
You look upon the tree of strength and
grandeur do not despise the flowers because
their fragrance is all they have to give
Remember, love is the only thing that a
woman has to give-but it is the only thing
which God permits us to carry beyond the
grave.

Don't Hurry.

Believe in travelling on step by step !;
don't expect to be rich in a jump. Slow
and sure is better than fast and fimsy.-
Perseverance by its daily gains enriches a
man far more than fits and starts or fortunate
speculation. Little fishes are sweet, and in
time become large. A thread every day
makes skein in a year. Brick by brick
houses are built We should creep before
we walk, walk before We run, and run be
fore we ride. We must spell before we
read. In getting rich, the more haste the
less speed. Haste trips up its own heels
Don't give up small business till you see
that large one will pay better. Even
crumbs are bread Better little furniture
than an empty house. In these hard times,
he who can sit on stone and feed himself
had better not move. From bad to worse
is poor improvement. A crust is hard fare,
but none at all is harder. Remember many
men have done we'll in small shops. A lit
tie trade with profit is better than big
concern at loss. A small fire that warns
you is better than large one that burns
you. A great deal of water can be got from
small pipe, if the bucket is always there
to catch it. A sheep may get fat in small
meadow, and starve in great desert. He
who undertakes too much, succeeds but
little

ssAn Editor in Heaven

Apropos to an article going the rounds
under the above heading, an exchange pre-
sents the following legend:
Once upon a time after the demise Of one
of the corps editorial, he presented himself
at the gate of the Golden city, and request
ed admission The door-keeper asked him
what had been his occupation while on terra
frnaa9 He replied he had been an editor.
"Well," said the Waterman, eve have a
crowd of your kind here now, and they all
came in as dead heads If you pay your
passage you can come in; if not, you must
place yourself under the control of person

meaning the devil.
Not having the wherewith to go in, our
brother of the quill and scissors posted off,
and presented himself at the entrance of
Clootie's dark domains A very dark COM
plexioned gentleman stood sentry, and ask
ed in gruf voice, who comes?'
can humble disciple of Faust was the
calm reply.
"Then hold on, you can't be admitted, %
exclaimed the gentleman in black, evincing
considerable agitation, and 6ercely scowling
upon him.
why not?' demanded the typo, who
began to get some what huhisb, and looked
around for a Sleeps foot with which to
force an entrance
''Well, sir" replied his sable majesty,
ave let one of your profession in here many
years ago, and he kept up continual row
with his former delinquent subscribers, and
as we have more Of that class of persons
here than any other, we have passed law
prohibiting the admission of any editors,
only those who have advanced our interest
in the papers on earth, and even those we
keep in a separate room by themselves
You have published many things operating
against us and always blamed the devil with
everything that went wrong, so you can't
come in. We enforce this rule without
safety. Now travel"
Casting droll lear on the outside sentinel
our typographical friend started on again,
determined to get above This time he
took with him an old file of his papers, and
presenting it to the guardian of the celestial
city, requested that it might be carefully
examined, and they could see whether he
was entitled to free ticket In due course
of time the conductor came along and took
him in, telling him that he had been mar
tyr to the cause of human Improvement,
and that resolutions had been passed to ad-
nit all members of the art preservative who
had abused the devil while below. He add
ed that as they were punished enough by
being with the devil all their future pun
ishment is committed He further stated
that not one delinquent newspaper subscriber
could be found in Heaven.

The Interior Of the EartIa---Curi-
GUS Revelations of Silence.

Among the various papers read before the
British Scientific Association was report
from the Tidal Committee of the society. -
This paper contained number of curious
and interesting speculations with regard to
the degree of elastic yield which the solid
earth experiences under the tide-generating
influences Of the sun and moon 1t is quite
certain the solid earth does yield to some
extent. 1t has long been favorite assump-
ton with biologists that the earth consists
of a shell of solid rock from twenty to fifty
miles in thickness, enclosing an interior filled
with melted material, lava, metals, etc. This
hypothesis is now shown to be absolutely
untenable, because, if it were true, the
whole crust would yield with almost as
much freedom on account of its thinness and
the great area, as if it were perfectly liquid.
Thus the boundary Of the solid earth would
rise and fall under the tide-generating in
fuences, so as to leave no sensible differences
to be marked by the water rising and fall.
ing relatively to the solid showing that if
the earth as a whole had an average degree
Of rigidity equal to that of glass, the tides
would be very much diminished from the
magnitude which they would possess on a
perfectly rigid globe, with water like that
of our seas upon it. This consideration,
the committee reports, makes it probable
that the earth has considerable average
rigidify than a globe of glass of the same
size The mathematical calculation shows
a somewhat startling result, to the effect
that globe of the same size as the earth
if throughout exactly of the same rigidity as
glass on smaller scale, would yield like an
India rubber ball to the tide-generating in-
fuences, thus leaving very little opportuni-
ty for change in the relative heights of wa
ter and land. The precise agreement of
the actual tidal movement with estimates
founded on the supposition of perfectly
rigid globe, renders it probable that the
earth is in reality more rigid as whole
than any specimens of surface rock that had
been experimental upon in laboratories
DR.. Soule, ten years ago, in speaking
upon this subject, had suggested that pro.
badly the great pressure in the interior pro-
duced in the material, which might be of
the same substances as surface rocks, a
greatly increased rigidity in positions at
great depths below the surface This part
of the enquiry the committee propose to
make primary object in the calculation
next to be undertaken.

"WOman's Rights

1t is woman's right to stay at home. -
For what other reason did her husband mar
ry her?
It is woman's right to have her home
in order whenever her husband returns from
business
1t is woman's right to be kind and for
bearing whenever her husband is annoyed.
It is a woman's right to examine her hus-
bands linen, and see that it wants neither
mending nor buttons.
1t is woman's right to be content when
her husband declares that he is unable to
take her to the seaside.
1t is woman's right to be satisfied with
her old dresses until her husband can buy
her new ones.
It is woman's right to nurse her children

Poetry.
Tears.
BY FATHER RYAN

Tears that trickle down our eyes
They do not fall to earth and dry;
They soar like angels to the skies;
And, like angels, cannot die.
For oh our immortality
Sounds through each ear-sounds IN each sig
What waves of tears surge DER the deep
Of sorrows in our restless souls
And they are strong, rot weak, who weep,
Those drops, from out the sea that roll
Within their hearts forever more;
Within depth-without shore.
But ali, the tears that are not wept-
The tears that never outward fall
The tears that grief for years has kept
Within us-they are best of all
The tears our eyes shall never know,
Are deeper than the tears tina. flow !
Each night, upon earth s flowers below
The dew comes down from darkest skies,
And every night our tears of woe
Go up, like dews to Paradise;
To keep in bloom, and make more fair
The flowers of crowns we yet shall wear.
For ah the surest way to God
Is up the lonely stream of tears
That flow, when bending meath his rod,
And fill the tide of our past years.
On laughter's pillows hearts are tossed
On waves of tears no heart is lost.
Flow on ye tears and bear me home!
Flow on ye waves of deeper woe
Flow on, we tears, that are but foam,
Of deeper waves that will not flow!
\ little while-1 reach the shore
Where tears flow not forever more.

1ENDsnIp.--Some people wonder why
it is that they possess no friends. They
live in fine houses, dress in costly garments,
appear in royal turnouts, and scatter their
money with prodigal hand, but somehow
their neignbors shun them. and people of
far less means are received and passed along
in society from which they are excluded. -
The fault rests wholly with themselves
Ten to one if everything they do is not
prompted by selfish motives, which are so
apparent as to repel everybody but parasites
and leeches. It is within the power of all
to make and keep friends if we hold selfish
ness off at arms length, and cultivate kind
ness of heart and courtesy of manner.
