Idle WORLDS.

Once said,
Seeing two soft starry eyes,
Darkly black as midnight skies
Eyes prophetic Of the power
Sure TO be thy woman's dover,
When the years shall crown thee queen
OF the realms as yet unseen;
Sometimes, sweet, those eyes shah make
Lovers mad for their sweet sakei
Once 1 said,
Seeing tresses, golden brown,
In brigHt shower falling down
over neck and bosom faifJ-
As yon stulptured angels are.. IT..
o iOrous tresses. dropping low
Ger forehead pure as snow;
Sometimes, sweet, in thy sott-hair,
Love shalt set a shining snare!
Once / said,
Seeing lips whose crimson glow
Mock the roses wet with dew
Warm sweet lips, whose breath was balm,
Pure, proud lips, serenely calm
Tender lips, whose smiling grace
Lit with spleudor all the face;
Sweet, for kiss OF thine, some day,
Men viii barter suuls away
Idly said!
God hath taken care OF all,
Joy or pain, that might befali!
Lovers lip shall never thrfii
At thy kisses, soft and stiIl;; ,--...,
Lovers heart shall never break
In sore anguish for thy sake,
Lovers love for thee shall know
Nor loves rapture, nor its woe.
All is saidl

of, what a consummate set of scoun-

Tru1h In Love.

Next to the faithful preaching of
Gods word, the most potent in
strumentality is the faithful testi-
mOuy of individual Christians
"speaking the truth In lOVe'' to theif
neighboPs and friends @ The direct
personal appeal compels those ad-
dressed to apply the truth TO their
own hearts, and thus prompt them
to consider their ways In any
Church where special public efforts
are being made, the. whole Church
should become a working society,
that the impressions made by the
pRblie service may be. .deepened and
made permanent. Other things e.
quail, that minister win be most
successful who best succeeds in stir
ring up the people to work, and
thus bringing out the latent power
that Is lying unused in almost every
Church. Doubtless it requires
much communion with God and a
consistent outward life to qualify
for this personal work. But our
obligations are of books and papers,
which, make US neither wiser. nor
better, we waste our time .r
5i0When we sleep and. lounge about
longer than nature really requires
us to do, we waste our time. Isrc
F" When we sit at the table longer
than Us necessary, we waste our
time.
Those who are in the habit OF
wasting their own time, set no val
ue upon the time of other people;
and by keeping those idle who are
disposed to be usefuIlY employed,
they do an amount of mischief. OF
the extent of which they have no
conception. Idle people are notion
" useless, but they are pEag9es and
hindrances to the industrious.
If we would employ in some use
fHl manner the many hours spent
by Iis in idleness, the amount Of
work we would be able TO = accom-
plish in year, would sstonish as.
Let us try the experiment, and
waste no more valuable time.h 1s9-a

Women, under any circumstances.
can scarce do more than dip the foot
in the broad and deep river of
thought; they have not the strength
to contend with the current. It is
easy for women to be heroic In &C.

Fanny Fern says that when she
sees a pretty man with an apple
head and a raspberry moustaehe
with six hairs in it, paint on his
cheeks and little jot OF a goatee on
his chin, with pretty little blinking
studs on his shirt bosom, and little
neck-tie that looks as if il were
rumpled, she always feels a desire
to nip him with a pair of sugar
tongs, drop him gently into a pot of
cream, and stew pink rose leaves
over the little remains.

The world is governed by three

The young men Of Tennessee, says
the Union City Courier, are taking
a livelier interest in politics to-day
than ever before, and are every
where the most energetic and de-
termined workers for Greeley and
the Cincinnati platform. They are
unembarrassed by old political pre-
judices and associations and they
go into the canvass with a dashing
enthusiasm that takes the wind out
of the sails OF gthe old politicians
They feel great confidence in the
triumph of Liberalism and joined
with this confidence are bright an
.ticipations for the future of the
South when the rule of the sword
shall give way to the benign reign of
peace and good feeling under the
administration ofPresident Greeley.

for the benefit OF the thTongs Of natives, who
were most o. them upon their knees with
clasped hands, all with uncovered heads. As we
came in sight Of the shipping in Yokohama har-
hor, sautes from all the vessels of war greeted
the train, with continuous firing OF cannon, aud
every mast was covered with flags. Upon
aiighting at the depot in Yokohama, the empe-
ror was received by the director of railways,
Mr.. Cargill, and the commissioners. The pro-
cession then filed along the platform in double
column, the Japanese in one line, and foreign
officers in the other. When all were in position
and his majesty seated, the various addresses
were read and responded to. Among the rest
the emperor himself read a short speech. When
the whole ceremony had been finished the train
was re-entered, and the same performance APP
parently was repeated at YeddO, after which the
roval members fof the party proceeded to the
castle, and the others returned at five P. NJ. to
Yokohama. In the evening both cities were
brilliantly illuminated with lanterns Of every
description, and seen from an elevation appeared
like fairy scene. The dresses of both native
and foreign officers were of the most elegant and
costly style. Among the finest foreign suits
was that of the Italian minister, Count Fe
d'Ostiani, who was nearly covered with the
heaviest gold braid Probably the same eXhi-
bition of the old Japanese dress will never be
seen again, for it is said that the mikado and
his officials after to-day will adopt the European
style of dress for all occasions. The native po-
lice are already quite at home in the new dress,
and look quite proud Of it. 5. X. b.
