THE GREAT MOTHER.

Our tender mother, Nature !-she haa q word for
each;
To-day, Or else tomorrow, ahsql name you in her
speech
Say not she smiles too ght-there are weepers every
day
But 60 you to the meadows when trouble's once
All the shining and the song
Shall nothing aeem to wrong:
Oh, the world is so good, and may Tie world live
l. sorTow old as The world 7 Who knows which frst
began?
Whoever tuned the chorus, till the chiefsinger came
Through all his echoing ages the key has been the
For Adam in his time,
And for each in PASSIONS prime,
The joy-tella and the dirges ring an interch1me.
The hearts Of men are rivers that cha{e In ordered
With now song Of signing, and now song Of loves:
Nature mother S@tme' she hath borne us on her
Til her owh great heart is beating in flow With our
unrest.
Many time the shy
Hath wept ita blue eyes dry
Ere ever Wept beneath 1t you or ].
She has winds that cry of conflict to the soul that
She has deserts tter-hearted with the grief Of wasted
lives;
She has lonely rocks and 1noors and ever-sighing
seas,
And some day you shall hearken to soar own life In
these.
But It's Ho ali the day,
When troubles once away,
And again shell pipe for us, and we'll be gay.
Ehchas mountains weird aud hnely, with the cloud
upon their head
shehas fearful thunder-p1acea where the storms are
bred;
But strength aud safety grid her-sea depths and
mountain bars
And peace is where Eternity dwells among the stars,
and it's hush, all the night
and the moon-gleam ieth white,
Like the pale hand Of Peace, shutting the lids from
sight.
Al to keep the lie In u.s. the life that goeth fast:
Ever nhe turns and turns it. but it weareth out at Inst
sore1y and oft she sighath to put the old away:
So to US shall tears b given when We have lad orr day.
Then for us the earth will keep

And again she'll sing for Us, and We shall sleeu.

writer in IuyJ, Field and Farm says: What
are the American women coming to? From leag
experience in fo1-hunting, I can vouch for
the safety and ease Of wonan's seat On we'll

numbered with long loose habit skirt. She
must be attired for hard work in g cloee-set-
ting, comfortably fitting cloth habit, the
skirt Of which should not do more than touch
the ground when the wearer stands; alao,
the stirrup should bs plain steel one, neither
lined Or padded, and fully two sizes too large for
the riders foot. Il these proper precautions ara
taken, there is no more danger in riding On 8
side-saddle than there is in sitting an ordina-
~ chair. Where the danger now arises il that
the riders hare no more seats than Ineal-saess
piled themwith fms. Delaware says his daugh-
ter's long skirt caused 3 horse to shy, and in

and never want to see, woman OF education
aad refinement riding astride, on tie road. in
The Park, Or in the hunting field. In the British
Isles, where women ride as forward IS the men,
there are, proportionally, far less serious acci-
dents among female riders than among male,
and this is to be accounted for mainly by the
fact that, being compelled from the nature Of
their seat to ride chiefly by balance, the1 become

Utter Ecpadiaiion OF .Tay Gould and

To the Eatorof the Neo Yor Commercial Aduertiser:
SIR: Tho recent "corner" in Northwest

mont from the press My name has been asso-
ciated with that Of 11r. Jay Gould and others in
connection with the speculation, and gross in
Justice I,as been done me thereby. I beg leave,
therefore, to say (once for a1D that have not
had, either directly OF indirectly, tho slightest
connection with Or interest in the matter. I
have had but one business transaction with Mr.
Gould in my life. In July, 1868, sold him q lot
Of stock, tor which he paid me- and the priri-
leee Of call for g. further lot, which he also
settled. Sinca then have had nothing to do
With him in any way whatever; nor do I mean
ever to have, unless it be to defend myself. I
have, besides, always advised all my friends to
have nothing to do with him in any bueiness
transaction ca1ne to this conclusion after
taking particular notice of his countenance. The
almost conatant parade, therefore, OF my name
in association with his scems very much Like an
attempt to mislead the public, tony injury: and,
after the publication Of this, ignorance or nisin-
formation can no longer be urged as IN excuse
for continuing this course:
AS for Wall street specnlators, know moth

three times . year, and no person there has any
authorize to use my uame or to include me IN
any speculative operation whatever.

went to s,eep Sam deliberately split open
his head with an AK, loaded the body
