Heaven is not reached az a single bound
Bat we build the ladder by which we rise
From the lowly earth to tho vaulted skies,
And We mount TO its summit round by round.
] couat these things to be grandly truel
That noble deed is a step toward Cod
Lifting the soul from the common sod
To purer air and broader view.
We rise by the things that are under our feet;
Nv what we have mastered of greed and gam,
BY the pride depOssd and the passion slain,
And the ysnquished il that We hourly meet
We hope. we resolve, we aspire, we trust,
When the m0raiIg calls to life and light,
But our hearts grow weary, and ere the night,
Our lives are trailing the sOroid dust.
Wings for the angels, but feet for the men!
We must borrow the wings TO lind the way
We may hope, and resolve, and aspire, and
pray,
But our ieet must rise or we fall again.
Only IL dreams Is a ladder thrown
From the weary earth to the sapphire walls;
But the dreams DEPART and the vision falls,
And the sleeper wakes on his pillow OF stone
Heaven IS not reached at q sinEle-bOund
But we build the ladder by which We rise
From the lOwly earth to the vaulted ssies.
And We mount to It's summit round by round.

OUT AFTER DARK.

The waning moon was up; the stars
Were faint, and very few;
The vines about the wind0w-sill
Were vet with falling dew;
A little cloud before the wind
Was drifting down the west;
heard the meaning of the sea
In its unqUiet rest;
Until, 1 know not from what grief
Or thought Of other years,
The hand leaned upon was cold,
And wet with falling tears.

womAN,s COUNSEL TO womas.

"Shirley Dare gives some useful hints
to women in these paragraphs:
Does woman deserve respect who calls
the work Of her sex dr1dgery? There are
women who always speak Of it by that
Bame, but they are usually inferior and un-
derbred women who write about Hmusses"
and Hmesses" for print, prigs or guys of the
feminine gender, tiresome in society, ego
tistic at home. These are the class who
complain of cramped faculties aud heavy
burdens, whose time and ability are too pre-
cious TO waste in seeing that the soup is
piquant, or the shirts well aired. They
bring out t'lsst articles in manuscript to
amuse-particulsr friends and converse in
a topical way, unconscious what a stuhry
odor pervades their rooms, or how shock
ingiy matched all the colors of their fur
niture may be. 10 9ts'l a., Cd,
/ did not speak of the women who ne
gleet their houses either for study or socie-
", but of those half-sensible women who
perform commonplace duties in serudging,
disdainfal way, all the time feeling that
they waste, 10 use their formula, liabilities
which might be much, better employed
They dust rooms and mend clothes, and
bake cakes, and call this houseWifery, and
say the noblest calling Of woman means
no such frivolous pretepse, but work gen.
uine and comprehending washing Of dishes
AID kettles, securing of tinware, and black
ing OF stoves, pairing Of potatoes and put
IiBg on of coal; in short, the whole hoTid
round Indispensable to bright houses and
good fare. Many woman may not be CALI
81 on to do these, things, but every woman
princess or peasant, ought to know how
they should be done, and have dexteTity and
practice enough to do them. This is
yoman's province, which all gentlei women
should lesrA, Just as men of rank learn
the science of war till they know how
much sand goes TO a char If eInyowder
and how much labor go-s u 'squaring
earthworks. Many people are saying this
over in different ways-Ge0rge Elliot and
George Sand indirectly, in their heroes and
heroines who are never, by
any possibility, afraid of the meaneSt labor;

Stowe more eXuliciGV

LIE DOWN. ANn REST.

DR.. Hall says the best medicines in the
world, more efficient in the cure of diseases
than ali the potencies ofthe plateria medics,
are warmth, rest cleanliness and pure air.
Some persons make it virtue to brave dis
ease, to 'hsep up as long as they can move
foot or crock tiDger; and it sometimes
succeeds, but in Others the powers of life
are thereby so completely exhausted that
the system has lost ability to recuYerate,
and slow and typhoid fever sets in and car
ries the patient to a premature grave.
Whenever walking or working is an effort
a warm bed and a cool room are the first
indispensable steps to sure and speedy
recovery. instinct leads all beasts and birds
to quietude and rest the very moment dis
ease or wounds assail the system.

HOW He Took IL,

The Toleda Blade tells a story of a
Northern soldier who was made a cripple
at Stone river. After the war, in a con-
versation with a cUmFade he said:
eyes, am doing pretty well, not making
much but doing pretty well. Have just
been to see my wife. She married another
man, you know. No? Didn't you
know it? Yes, SIZE married another fel-
low before 1 got home. Divorce No.
She Just married him and threw me over
board, you know. It made me a little
mad, tell you. But she married q good
man, and there's the rub, you see. He's
got farm and good house, and he took
my wife and children right in, sir, and
treated 'em like gentlemen. Ii
cut me a little to have the woman
throw me oil, bnt l looked at the question
from her standpoint, and it's all right.
Then | got worked up little, and thought
had better steal the children from the
step father. Solvent up to see them
again. Would You believe It? They said
they didn't want to live with me, if they
had to leave their mother. So said "all
right" and came away again. You see,
my girl is smart. She knew ths; with my
lame LEG and arm couldn't support her
right, aud the little duck told ms 50, with
her arms around my neck. That finished
me you know.
"But," said his friend, 'the woman is
legally your wife,
81 know it," said Jim, "but if was stub
born and claimed her, you see she would
have to take in washing to support the
family. Legality isn't the thing. l can't
do anything much, and wouldn't be com
Portable, you know, to have her working so
for me. [ couldn stand that half % vel
as can the way it is nov, No, sir, legality
don't help the matter. I viii never be
comfortable any way. She'd marry after 1
was dead so what's the use of whimpe r

The conversation was interrupted by the f0ll0w-

Of the Grant persuasion, but in voice almost soto
1t was twenty minutes past eleven O'Clock when
the last Presidential announcement appeared on
the bulletin. Quickly following 1t was an addi-
ti0nal statement regarding
THE MAYORALTY VOTE.
This statement was succinct and explicit and gave

4,976" This was sufficient to evoke cheers for
Havemeyer, the disposition OF the crowd being ev-
IDENTITY TO take sides with the man foremost in the
race. But for all this there were many pain
fully lugubrious faces-the faces OF those who had
lab0red through the canvass for O'Brien-who had
voted for him during the day. some OF them pos
sibly early and often. and who had hoped, and
some even still hoping, that he would come out
ahead in the triangular fight. To such the pros
poets OF their chieltain's defeat was severely dis
heartening blow.
HOW THE CROWD STAYED.
And still the crowd lingered-that anxious
lingering, forming such strong characteristic Of
our American people, which is never satisfied to go
away as the popular phrase s till the last canine
is suspended. And II there was not literal sus-
pension Of CANNES there was still suspension a
