THE MONTHS

January brings the snow,
Makes our feet and fingers glow.
February brings the rain,
Thaws the frozen lake again.
March brings breezes loud and shrfll,
St1rs the dancing daffodil.
April brings the primrose sweet
Scatters daisies at our feet.
May brings fOcks of pretty lambs
Skipping by their fieccy dams.
June brings tulips, lilies, roses,
Fills the children'5 hands with posies.
Hot July brings ceoling showers,
Apricots and gillyflovers.
August brings the .sheaves of corn,
Then the harvest home is born.
Warm September brings the fruit,
SpOrtsmen then begin TO shoot.
Fresh October brings the pheasant,
II en- TO gather nuts is pleasant
Dun November brings the blast,
Then the leaves are falling fast.
Chill December brings the sleet,
Blazing fires and Christmas treat.

BY WILLIAM ROsT WALLACE.

Blessings on the hand of Woman
Angels guard its strength and grace,
In the palace, cottage, hovel,
o, no matter where the place
Would that never storms asSailed it
Rainbows ever gently curled
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Infancy's the tender fountain:
Power may with beauty flow;
Mothers first to guide the streamlets
From them souls unresting grow
Grow on for the good or evil,
Sunshine streamed or darkness hurled
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Woman, how divine your mission
Here upon our natal 500
Keep, keep the young heart open
Always to the breath of God
AL true trophies of the Ages
Are from Mother Love impearled
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Blessings on the head of Woman
Fathers, sons, and daughters cry,
And the sacred song is mingled
With the worship in the sky;
Mingles where no tempest darkens,
RainbowS evermOre are hurled
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.

him every possible kindness, which he
continued to his stricken widow and
fatherless children In little over =
year after her husbands death he led
her to the altar-made her mistress of
his home and queen of his heart-and
in all his after life had reason to bless
the hour i'll which he did so.
Time past on. Our hero's aged
mother slept the sleep that knows no
waking; and, though this wrung his
heart with grief, he found balm in
the domestic felicity that had fallen to
his lot
His constituents, approaching his
worth, repeatedly sent him to the leg
islature, and his popularity constantly
increasing, he was chosen their repre-
sentative in Congress He lives in
the enjoyment of a happy home, and
possesses the confidence of those who
are acquainted with him.
And what of Amelia =? She still
lives in her home on the banks of the
Hudson. She is almost a perfect type
Of a sour, vinegar-faced old maid, and
lives to bewail the mistake she made
III ignoring tHe clalInS Ol true alice
ton, and preferring wealth to other
and higher considerations. The news
she hears of Charles rising fame and
domestic happiness does not have the
effect of mitigating the poignancy of
her grief; but often does the deep sigh
well up from her bosom.
Reader, if this true tale contains a
moral which YOU appreciate my pur-
pose will have been achieved.

ANCIENT ARTS.

Taking the metals, the Bible in its
first chapter shows that man first con-
quered metals there in Asia, and on
that spot to-day he can work more
wonders with those metals than we
can. One of the surprises that the
European artists received when the
English plundered the summer pal
ace of the King Of China, was the curl
Ously wrought metal vessels of every
kind, far exceeding all the boasted
skill of the wOrkmen of Europe. Eng
lish surgeons going to India are ad-
vised to have their instruments gilded,
because English steel cannot bear the
atmosphere Yet the Damascus blades
OF the Crusades were not gilded and
they are as perfect as they were eight
centuries ago There was one at the
London Exhibition, the point of which
could be made to touch the hilt, and
could beput into a scabbard like cork
screw, and bent every way without
breaking. If London chronometer

his chrOnOmeter, he does not send to
Sheffield, the center of all science, but

rivers, where there is no science at all.
The first needle ever made in Europe
was made in the time of Henry Will,
and made by a negro; and when he
died the art died with him. Some of
the first travellers in Africa stated that
they found a tribe in the interior who
gave them better razOrs than they had.
Scott. in Tales of the Crusades," :"
describes n meeting between Richard
Cnur de Lion and Saladin. Saladin
asks Richard to show him the won

and the Norman sovereign responds
by severing bar of iron which lies
on the floor of his tent. Saladin saws,
Il cannot do that" but takes an cider
down pillow from the sofa, and; draw,

the black art; it is magic; it is the
devil; YOU cannot cut that which has

him that such is not the case, takes

School, Portland, Oregon, and is print

OXEN.
Oxen is a very slow animal They
are very good to break up ground
| would rather have horses if they
didn't have the colic-which they say
is wind collected in a bunch. Which
makes it dangereser to keep horses
than oxen.
If there were no horses people would
have to wheal their wood III whealbar-
rows. 1t would take them two or
three days to wheal cord a mile.
Cows are useful to. | heard some
people say that if they to be OK or

Tile TRADE OF NEW. YORK.

The greatness of the foreign trade of our
city may be realized by examining the state
ment on another page, comparing 1t with that
of all other ports in the United States. The
total foreign commerce of the Union in the
fiscal year 1872 was, 1t appears, in round num-
beers, 81 212, 100000, of which amount $704,OO0,-
900 formed the share of this port. More than
half the entire foreign business, therefore, of
this continental republic, having an area of
100000 square miles, and population OF
100000 people, was transacted within the
moderate limits of our metropolis.
In both tho imports and exports which make
up this traffic our ascendency is marked. We
imported S418,0O0,0O0, or nearly two-thirds of
S640,00O,000, the aggregate value of the i'm
ports Of the United States The details show
that our city imported more than all other
ports together of each class of goods, proving,
that in the Iargeness of its supply and the
diversity of the products it offers, the New
York market is indisputably the greatest for
foreign merchandise in the Union.
1t naturally follows from the magnitude of
the imports that the exports are also pro-
portonately great. The statistics show that
of the $40 100000 worth of merchandise ex-
ported by the United States, the share of
New-Yorli was S2,O,OOO,OOO, or nearly onehalf /;
and if we except the cotton sent mainly from
Southern ports, and valued at $140,OOOOOO, it
will be seen that this city is the collecting
and distributing point of nearly three-fourths
of those American products which afford sub
sistence to the people of foreign lands OF form
the raw material of their manufactures.
The vastnesS of the trade which the fore
going figures indicate Is just subject for con-
graduation, and ought TO be suggestive to
our politicians and political economists.

Tile RESIGNATyON or II. GRRYY.

Every mail brings us some new evidence
that the best hopes Of tho Republic In Franco
are founded upon the utter incapacity of tho
mOnarchical parties to accomplish anything in
the reconstruction of the country. One mex
haustible source Of misforunes 10 them is
found in the Count Of Chambord, who IT he
were tho bred satirist of the Republican party,
could not work more effsctlially in making his
own supporters ridiculous. The judicious
princes OF Orleans may intrigue as they
please for months together to strengthen
and consolidate the Bourbon elements
in the Assembly and in Society, but their
lord and cousin is always sure 70 come for
ward at the right moment TO blow over their
card-castles by some absurd utterance of me-
dieval absolutsm. The Donapartists cannot
keep from quarrelng among themselves for q
week together. The admirable management of
the finances, and the Ireproachable civil adj
ministrati0n which the Republican authorities
have been able to give To France are render
ing the existing form of government more
and more popular. If the elections for a new
National Assembly could now be ordered, there
is no question OF large and solid majority
in favor of the definite establishment Of the
~
plored that the present Assembly. elected in
critical and highly unfavorablc moment, docs
not clearly represent this progress of liberal
opinion. Yet the strength of the monarchlcal
sentiment in the Chamber docs not az vet
appear to have led to any disastrous results,
and the reason of this clearly il the palpable
infcriority Of the reactionists in political
ability and tact to those Republicans
whom it has been 30 long customary 10
accuse of deficiency in these qualities. When
the Commission Of Thirty was formed the
Monnrchists, Ivy mere brute weight of num-
hers in the sections obtained nineteen of its

II and those who might have bad some Ma,
to complain treated the matter with judicio,
eood-nature. The Pail Mall Gazette, papr

Thackeray gave it in its ante-natal times, hid
criticised in it's usual inci5iye manner the %.

that it was libel and breach Of pv-

dryly observed that before the House began

the warning that men are not to speak evil
