THE TEAR OF GRATITUDE.

There is gem more pearly bright,
More dear to mercy's eye,
Than loves sweet star, whose mellow light
First cheers the evening sky;
A liquid pearl that gitters where
No sorrows now intrude
richer gem than monarchs wear,
The tear of gratitude.
But meier shall narrow love of self
Invite the tribute forth,
Nor can the sordid slave of pelf
Appreciate its worth
But ye, who stop the widows woe,
And give the orphan food,
For you this liquid pearl shall flow,
The tear of gratitude.
Ye who but slake an infants thirst
In heavenly mercy's name,
Or proffer penury crust,
The sweet reward may claim;
Then while you rove life's sunny banks,
With sweetest fiow'rets strewed,
Still may you claim the widows thanks,
The Orphans gratitude.

One Way to a Bas6ancl's Heart.

Too much cannot be said or written en- the
subject of cooking, for life, health, prosperity
and happiness depend upon the quality OF food
we eat. Many man can trace bis fallen for
tunes and shipwrecked hopes to heavy bread,
tough biscuit, and other poor cooking.
Stomachs ought 70 have sheet-iron Innings to
endure the burdens and insults imposed upon
them by inefficient housewives.
Those long-faced, glum sort of people, to whom
it seems sin to laugh and drive dull care away,
are most likely the victims OF indigestion which
brings on multitude of diseases and makes in
valds. So q man may work and do his best to
accumulate fortune-but if his wife does not
properly prepare his food, or, if they can afford
it, see that her hired help does it, in the midst of
increasing prosperity and bright prospects that
man is very likely TO fall sick and when bis
strength is gone the spirit of his projects dies
out, and every thing sinks down sIaguant and
lifeless.
Women have far greater responsibility in
these things than many of them like to admit or
assume. 1t requires very little more effort to do
things well than to betch them up. And there
is satisfaction iu knowing a thing is rightly
done which pays for the trouble.
Especially isit true OF girls who 90 out to work,
that they are apt to take the quickest way of
turning off work, if il is not the best They
ought to feel the Importance of their position,
and that they desire the family where they live
to be we'll and happy. In all departments Of
house keeping, it costs less to be neat, orderly
and systematic, and to know just how much but
ter, sugar, eggs and -four TO use on baking-da
as we'll as just how long to boil or roast nice
tender piece of meat, that ii may not be toughen-
ed, and its sweetness and nourishment cooked
away.
Good housekeepsrs know so many ways to
save and economise of which an unpractsed
hand is entirely ignorant. Experienced cooks
make delicious and inexpensive dishes OF odds
and ends left over from meal TO meal, which in
most hoseholds are more or less wasted. Who
would believe that the well-picked bones Of a
roasted chicken, with two or three little beef
bones taken from the broed beef-steak which
was served at breakfast, boiled two hours in
about quart Of water, will make excellentso1p
good for the sick and tempting to the most deli
cate taste2 Try it and see.
Soup is strengthening, and can be made much
cheaper and easier than most people can imagine.
Beef bones are just as good for soup after they
have been roasted as any, and save much expense.
There is no accomplishment fer which wo-
man has so much reason to congratulate herself
and he proud, as for being good housekeeper,
and the foundation Of housekeeping is TO be q

Important Rumor'

It is rumored that the European d
North American Railroad is now owned and
controlled by Pennsylvania parties, who are
oonnaoted with the Central road of that
State. In other words, the road on which
the people of Maine have bestowed all their
public lands and large money subsidy, has
already fallen into the hands of that king of
railroad kings, Tom Scott. If this is the case,
it can no longer be matter of surprise to
anybody that the lands set apart for settle
ment, including that other State investment,
New Sweden, are the object of this pamper-
ed corporations greed.

MAINE has $40 male citizens ever twenty

ofsuffrage ''for other cause than crime or re-
bellion." So so says the Census Bureau, in
reply to demand for information on which
to base an apportionment of Representatives,
citizens excluded from the ballot not being
reckoned. There are 1920 of these "adult
males in the United States. The $40 cred
tied to Maine are probably Indians, paupers
&c. But we have always contended that the
Indians are clearly enfranchised by the fif-
teeenth amendment and may vote if they
will, without any further legislation.

COMPULSORY EDUCATIONAL correspondent,
whose name we are forbidden to disclose, writes
as follows from Stockholm, Sweden, on the 10th
ult.:
To the Editor Of the Press:
DEAR SIR:-In your Weekly of October Goth
is an article on Compulsory Education. You
quote Michigan law, where the only penalty
imposed on parents, guardians, &C., for neglect
to send their children to school or have them
properly instructed is fine from So to $40
1t is pretty generally the case that those who
are the most negectful of sending their chill
dren to school are poor and irresponsible people
OF whom fine could not be collected, and who
could laugh at an execution; and it would seem
that such penalty would not have the desired
effect
In report on Public instruction in Sweden
(also Norway which sent to the Department
year ago, and which was printed as a circular
by the Commissioner of Education last sum-
mer 1t will be seen that one of the penalties for
not instructing children, which parents are liza
BILE to is the separation of children from their
control; but that it very seldom has to be en-
forced. Also, that 81 per cent. of children of
school age in Sweden are instructed. 1t occurs
to me that it will perhaps be well to apply some
such penalty as separation, say after repeated
warnings, it its execution can be entrusted to
such discreet authorities that its enforcement
would not cause distress or seem harsh to the
public mind.
Its because regard compulsory education
as essential to our true prosperity in the United
States that have ventured to submit these re-
marks to you.
