If WE KNEW.


If We knew the woe and heart-aehe
Waiting for Us down the read
II cur lips could taste the Vvormygood,
If our backs could feel the load,
WOulC we waste to-day in wishing
For a time th&t ne'er can be:
Would we wait with suen imDatienes
Fer our ships to come from sea?
II we knew the baby fingers
Pressed against the window pane
Would be cold and stiff tomorrow.
Never trouble us again;
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch the frOwn upon our brow,
Would the joint Of rosy fingers
Fex us then as they do now? aI
All these little ice-cold fingers
How they point on. memory. back
To the hasty words and actions ,t
Strewing along our backward track
How those little hands remind US.
As in snowy grace they lie,
Not 70 scatter thOrns, but roses,
For our reaping by and bye.
Strange we never prize the music
Till the swcet-yoiced bird has flown
Strange that we should slight the violet,
TIL the lovely flowers are gone; q
Strange that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem One-half so fair
As when Winters snowy pinions
Shake their white down ia the air
Lips from which the seal of silence,
None but God can roll away,
Never blossOmed in such beauty
As adoTns theInouth to-day.
And sweet words that freight our mem
OFy
With their beautiful perfume
Come to us in sweeter accents
Through the portals Of the tomb.
Let US gatherIup the sunbeams T
{ Lying all along our path,
Let US keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorns and chaf.
Let Us find our sweetest comfort
n the blessing Of to-day
With patient hand removing
All the briars from the way.

A sensible contemporary remarks
that there IS no single item, in a
small lway, that shows up, more clear
~, the want of thrift in the South,
than the immense sales of garden
seed Of every kind. In a country
where vegetables seem to be almost
indigenous, it tsdoes seem that moth
ing is easier than to save seed.L And
it does seem to ussthat people too
lazy, or too careless to save garden
seed, have no right to complain of
hard times, or to eney the thrift Of
the NOrth-growing richer every day
on Southern patronage.

Mr. Voorhees,, has introduced a
bill in Congress to enforce the pay
ment Of the public debt in legal ten

of the contract as determined and
pronounced by the Supreme Court
of the United States. The bill pro-
vides that the Secretary ofthe Treass

The treaty furry has in a great
measure subsided, and the sober Sc
cond thought now asserts its sway
on both sides OF the Atlantic. While
it is not such an easy matter to
point out how the difference between
the two countries. may be harmonic

promise or settlement willbe effect

appears, means to stand by the
Treaty of Washington. That docu-

question of indirect claim, q matter

strange if arbitration or some other

Prlcss and styles OF Furs.

Serviceable, handsome furs have come with
in the reach of moderate purses, owing, per
haps, to the ingenuity displayed by furriers
in the adaptation of skins formerly unheard Of.
'sSeal-skin sets of tine quality are to be
had very low. These look well with walking
dresses, soften the complexion, and last,
though not least, do not attract moths.
They are preferable to the course qualities of
mink, which wear lighter and are hard to pro-

what lower in price than seal.skin. 1t has a
very rich effect, and is preferred by many.
The price of Russian sable puts 1t beyond
general reach, muff and boa costing from
$3.50 to $500.

for carriage dress and evening wear.
For use, no fur excels the black Astrachan
and the price is very moderate. In this eli

Trimming furs are sold by the yard, and are
very effective on velvet Overdresses and sac

wOllen stuffs, but they should be chosen with
care as to color. A black velvet polonaise,
trimmed with sable Is beautiful winter gar
ment, and is not in danger of growing COM
mon. The variety of fur for children is very
large this season. Whole sets, sacque nun
and turban, are very much worn. Whether
or not this style of clothing Is healthy, Is a
question for physicians to answer. There is
certainly ground foy debatp.
These sets come In ermine, French crmlne,
Iceland lamb, Persian lamb and squirrel.
The putting away of furs, after the season,
Is an important matter. According to fur
dealers, camphOr should not be used. The
furs should be hung in the air for several
days, beaten thrOughly with a light switch.

examine and air them. This is all that is

ofcrime. The Ledger says;
These confessions embrace attempted murder,
perjasy, suborna,ion Of perjery, Two arsons, one
OF them involving terrible sacrifice of human
life, murder, and a burglary involving stupen.
dous robbery. These confessions have been
made to the mayor since the sentence was pro.

names of his employers, and have referance not
only 10 the attempt TO murder Mr.. Brooks, but to
acatalouge of other hideous crimes, alleged by
Morrow to have been committed or instigated

day and by night to kill him for no other rea
son than that he was faithful to his duty; how,
when Morrow's assassin heart failed him, lie
was bullied until the attempted murder was &C.
complished; and how, when he had done the
work, he was secreted for days aud weeks, and
carried from place to place, and paid give dol.
