When men comfort themselves with
philosophy, It's not because they have
got two or three sentences, but because
they have digested those sentences and
made them their own: so upon the mat

WV wife,s Because.
Ely ADELAIDE PROCTOR.

1t is not because the worlds perpieXed
meaning
Grows more clear.
And the parapets of heaven, with angels
leaning,
Seem more near:
And nature sings of praise with all her
. Since you spoke,
since with my silent heart that now re-
Love awoke.
Nay, not even because your hand holds
heart and life
At your viii,
Soothing. hushing all it's discord, making
strife
Calm and still
Teaching Trust to fold her wings, nor ever
roam
From her nest;
Telling Love that her securest, safest
home
Must be rest.
Because this human love, though pure
and sweet
Yours and mine
Has been sent by love more tender, more
complete,
More divine,
That il leads our hearts at last TO rest in
heaven
Far above you.
Do 1 take thee as a gift that God has
given
And / love You!

BADLY IStUREp.

BADLY INJURED.
Mr.. Abran Beam, OF the 2i ward, an en-
poyee at the Steel Works, had the misfortune
10 meet with very serious accident on Mon
they may yet provo fatal. The false lining of
one OF the steam refners, composed of iron
and other metals, by some means became de
tachsd and fell upon Mr. Beam, crushing and
mangling him in a shocking manner. He was
taken TO his home ard properly cared for, but
of bis condition at present writing l am not

COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE
Governor Gesry recommends compulsory
attendance at common schools else induce
ments sufficient 20 secure full attendance. So
far as Inducements are coucsrned that is all
right, but l am too good fisHd of the COM
mon school system to go i'll for compulsory
law. 1t won't do. 1t is neither democratic
nor republican. nor ever judicious. | have
been connected for thirty six years with com
mon schools, and ! know tho temper of the
people on the question. Some people would
like to see other people compelled 10 send their
children to school, but when the law would
como home to them. then they would vince
most aWfully. Better let the rights of the peo-
pie alone. The less people are governed the
bettor. And my word for it nothing will brea K
down the system sooner than a law compelling
attendance. | hope the Legislature has wis
dom enough to perceive this. Inducements
might be held out. such as giving rewards pur-
chased by the State, to such attend the
greatest number of days in month. Or an
cxoDeration Of ten per cent. OF school tax to
those who served most regularly, or soma sthing
like these prov isions, but away with compul-
sion. Such a Ian could not be sniorc4d
