THE LESSON OF LffE.-Of all the
lessons that humanity has 10 learn,
the hardest is to learn 10 wait. Not
to wait with folded hands that claim
life's prize without previous effort,
but having struggled and crowded
the slow years with trial, sec no re-
suit rs effort seems to warrant-nay,
perhaps, disaster instead. To stand
firm at such a crisis of existence, to
preserve ones sclfpoise and selfrc-
spect, not to lose hold or relax effort,
tills is grvatress, whether eoh;e-od !,
man or woman-whether the eye of
the world notes it or it is recorded in
the book, which the light of eternity
shall alone make clear to the vision
Those who stand on the high place of
tho earth understand not what neces.
sity, what suffering means. They
know not what it is to noble souls to
be obliged, like worms, to crawl upon
the earth for nourishment, because it
has not the strength to endure famine.
Life moves around them with so much
grace, splendor and beauty, they drink
life's sweetest wine, and dance in a
charming intoxicalion. They find
nothing within them which can enable
them TO understand the real sufferings
of the poor they love only them.
selves, and look at mankind only in
their narrow circle

THERISd FINGER-Much ingenuity
has been expended in the cndeavor to
discover on which hand and on which
finger the wedding.ring was placed,
The Jews have tradition that Mary,
when she espoused Joseph, received
the ring on her middle finger; hence
no Jewish woman wears her bridal
ring there, but always on the forc.
finger. st. Ambrose, in one of his
sermons, calls the third finger the fin.
ger for the ring Macrobius gives
the nursery-names of the fingers in
the times Of tho Romans the third
finger is called anaularis, the low Nor.
man name for she same firger is "John
of tho seals" In the ancient ritual of
marriage among the English Papists,
the ring was placed on the end of the
left thumb, with the words, "In the
name of the Father then on the fore.
finger, with the words, sand of the
son ! then on the middle finger, "and
of the Holy Ghost !" finally on the
third, the ring finger, with the clos
ing word Amen The ancient Greeks
used this finger also, because they be-
lieved a nerve TO run directly from
this finger to the heart Lcmnius
says it is not nerve, but an artery /;
others, that it is not an artery, but n
vein and modern science shows that
there is nothing of the kind in cxis-
tencc.

serious and considerable TO the soul

humble, timiJ and distrustful of itself;

alarmed by these dclicacies Of grace

A STERLING OLD POEM.


Who shall judge man from his manners ,
Who shall know him by his dressi
Paupcrs may be At for princes,
Princes at for something else.
Crumplcd shirt and dirty jacket
May beclothc the golden ore
or the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vcsts'can do no more.
There are streams Of crystal nectar
Ever flowing out Of some a5-
There are purple beds and golden. n
Hidden, crushed and overthrow.
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea. HsHt
Man upraiscd above his fellows,
on iorgcts his fellow then
Masters-rulors-lord remember
That your meanest kinds are men
Men Of labor, men of feeling,
Men of thoughts and men Of fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine,
In mans ennobling name.
There are foam-embroidered oceans,
There are little wood-clad rills;
There arc feeble inch-high sapplings,
There are cedars on the hills;
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospcrs you and me;
For to Him all vain distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea-
Toilng hands alone are builders
or nations wealth and fame,
Titled laziness Is pensioncd
Fed and fattcd on the same;
BY the sweat Of others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice, .
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Vainly lifts its feeble voice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with lovelincss and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is a sunny right;
God, whose worldwide voice is singing,
Boundless love to you and me,
Links oppression with its titles,
But rs pebbles in the sea.

STUDY.



Study Is q spacious forehead high,
And a beaming, intellectual eye
Study is dclyed from school and
College by rich gems of thought.
Study is mental thought,
Clear and billiant as the sun
Study ie a pearl of thought,
Often In the sunlight wrought.
Study is a booming light
In calm clear summer night;
Study then from star to star,
From worlds to worlds afar.
Study is light to mortals
On a dreary dearest shore;
Study Is the theme that
Tells us, Mortals, weep no more!
Study is word of action,
In our tangle mountain home;
Study is the pride and pinion
That the Theban eagle bore.
Study is theme Of grandeur
In a world Of dark despair;
Study is n motive greater
Than the heart of man can tell.

Mas. JESSE FREMoNT.-Mrs. Jesse
Fremont looks as youthful as ever,
but her hair is prematurely white, and
lends additional beauty to her face
She was married to Mr.. Fremont very
much against her fathers wishes, but
the old gentleman, who, by the way,
was Thos. Hart Benton, or Old Bull
lion, as he was called, United States
Senator from Missouri, allowed the
ceremony TO take place in his own
house. After it was over, Mr.. Benton
wrote out the marriage notice, and
took tito the Washington Globe office.
Handing the notice to Francis z.
Blair, Sr., who was the editor of the
Globe, General Jackson's organ, he
requested its insertion. Mr. Blair
read over the manuscript, and the fol-
lowing dialogue-ensued;
Blair-Colonel, this is not in the
usual form of marriage notices. II
now reads that Miss Benton married
Mr.. Fremont. Permit me to transposc
the names. ra
Benton very emphatic)-No, sir ;
no, sir; John Charles Fremont did
not marry Jesse Benton, Jesse Benton
married John Charles Fremont, sir.
The announcement appeared in the
Globe MS it was written.
