The little ones cling to the mother,
With kisses that softly fall,
But somehow the troublesome baby
- Is nearest her heart of all;
Sick, and fretful, and small,
But dearest to mother Of all {!
The neighbors wonder and pity,
Hearing its querulous cry.
stShe Is losing her youth and beauty"
Say friends, as they pass her by.
owen were the babe to de-"
"And the mother resJ," they sigh.
But over the wee white cradle,
Her soft eyes full OF prayer,
Bendeth the weary mother, 80
And never was face 50 fair.
Pale, and tired with care,
But the glory Of love is there!
Rosy and round and dimpled,
Dewy with childish sleep,
She tueks in her other darlings,
Whom angels watch and keep. ri
Ali if darker angel
atAnear tbs treasure creepl
Bless thee, beautiful mother!
Thy heart hath place for all
Room for the joys and the sorrows,
However fast they fall;
Room for the baby small,
= That may love thee best of ALI

A BOY of sixteen was acquitted the other
day, in the Superior Court of Massachu-
sets, of charge Of placing Instructions on
railroad, but not until he had been in
prison fifteen months waiting for his trial.
1t was finally proved that he was, in fact,
engaged in removing the distractions plac-
ed on the road by some unknown person
when arrested, and for thus preventing a
terrible accident he was imprisoned over 3
year. Next time be will probably leave the
Instructions andlet the rain smash.

HAPPINESS ESSENTIAL TO BEAUTY

Do not think you can make girl lovely,
if you do not make her happy. There is
not one restraint you put on good girls
nature-there is not one shock you give to
her instincts of affection or effort-Which
will not be indelibly written on her features
with hardness which is all the more pain
full because it takes away the brightness
from the eyes Of innocence, and the charm
from the brow of virtue. The perfect love
illness of a woman's eountensnce can only
consist in that majestic peace which is
founded in the memory of happy and useful
yesrs-full of sweet records; and from the
Joining Of this with that yet more majestic
childishness which is still full of change
and promise, opening always-modest at
once, and bright with better things to be
won, and to be bestowed. There is no old
age where is still that promise-it is eter-
nal youth.-RuSkiR,

The sun is low and the sky is red;
Over meadows in rick and NOW,
And out of the lush grass overfed,
The cattle are winding slow;
A milky fragrance about them breathes

OF the lake grass in the sun,
And bark, in the distance, the cattle-bells, how
unsteady they steals-

With the water udder deep,
In the sleepy rivers Of easy June,
With the skies above asleep .-t-

And the palm-fiower hirsting in halves .
They wait for the signs OF the falling smoke,
And the evening bleat Of the calves.

For peace and rest in the twilight ewes

How little we knew, in the deepening shades,
How far our ways would lie.-

And your home there in the sky;
Nor how would listen alone to the old familiar

An extensive farmer, living near Fideli-
ty, Jersey county, was in town this morn
ing in search of harvest hands. The wheat
is ready to cut, but labor is scarce. He
states that four or five hundred hands can
find employment in that vicinity. In spite
of all the ill-omened statements to the con-
trary, the wheat in Jersey county is turn
ing out almost full crop. The farmers
say that les growth and development the
last two or three weeks have be9n wonder
full.
The hardest thing in the world to hold is
an unruly tongue.

AN AMUSING INCIDENT.

BUTLER AND FARSswoRTH As TELLERs
OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
A Washington correspondent writes rs
follows; "While the house was in COM
mittee of the whole to-day on the def
cheney appropriation bill question arose
on which decision Of the house was de-
manded, and the chairman, Stevenson Of
Ohio appointed General Butler and Cen
eral Farnsworth tellers. Butler and
Farnsworth are not on speaking terms,
and when they met in front of the clerks
desk they did not observe the usual GUS
tom of shaking hands, whereupon some
| member, wishing ~ carry on
the joke, insisted upon intro
ducing them. Butler was un.
| willing TO look at Farms worth, while the
latter refused to recognize Butler. They
stood looking away from each other, with
out speaking, much to the amusement Of
the members who are familiar with theil
peculiar relations. Each tried to ignor
the presence of the other, and each an
nounced the count of his side without con
sultstion or agreement. Fortunately TO
Farnsworth, he could not tell whethe
Butler was looking at him or not. II
has an impression that occasionally Butle
went one eye on him, but he was not sur
of this, for sometimes it seemed as if But
Ter was looking in two or three direction
at once. The affair pissed Of without an,

is scarcely disturbed. The parade of
the firms authorized to receive goods
urns out to be a screen, as Leet and

discovery that most of the go-betweens
are Tammany democrats. Prominent

ONE YEAR AFTER DEATH.

What may prove one of the most novel
and, perhaps, exciting suits on record, was
insugurated in Evansville, Ind, on Fri.
day. An Attorney for John II. Flourney
and his wife, Sarah Tourney filed with
the Clerk of the County claim against
the estates Of Robert Barnes for $4,000,
the amount of promissory note given
Mrs Tourney by Mr.. Barnes previous to
his death. The note, which claims to be
'fcr services rendered" is made payable
one year after Mr.. Barnes death which
date was Wednesday last, as he died on
the 2lst Of Feb, 1871. The estate of Mr..
Barnes is worth several hundred thousand
dollars, all of which he devised to the
Society of Spiritualists for tho purpose Of
building college. His relatives have
thus far, however, prevented the execution
of the will, and are endeavoring to break
