The Chicago Interior says: We have
great respect for that large class of the
human family whose energies are given
to bearing up" 1t is a fine thing to do
things, but finer thing to just stand it.
Most people are in that defensive attitude.
We all start out aggressivev: events
push us hard. First we slacilen: then
we halt, then back up against a wall and
bear it. The castles in the air drift into
darkness, and ambitions pictures become
dlssolving' views, and the man finds
himself under the sober skies of forty
with empty hands, bending shoulders,
unmarked days in the present, and
uncertain ones in the future. The fame
or fortune that nerved his Young life is
under the horizon. The stimulus of hope
that held him up is wasted and gone.
Forge and anvil, spade and shovel, from
morning to night. The mortgage clincs
to the cottage, and hard work cannot lift
1t. Doctors bills takes the surplus. Gray
hairs are coming, and the tmouotonous
years wear on. There is nothing ahead to
look to, and nothing in The present to
notch the days, save little haUder work, a
more restless night, and gradually failing
strength Under this grthering gloom
the man does nothing fine, thinks nothing
great he only bears bravely up. If the
neighbors ever give a man a thought, il
Is only to say Poor fellow things 90
hard against him." But blessed IS the
man who can 60 against things and hold
his way with buoyant heart under "skies
that are ashen and sober" In Gods
reckoning Of the human lives there will
doubtless be a great reversal Of estimates,
and for the comfort Of those who make no
Roadway against the wind and tide, it will
appear at last that ''they also serve who
only stand and waite"

Miss Mary Louisa Hurlburt belonged
to the choir of her fatheir's rev. Victor
Hurlbur) church at Stone Ridge, n. Y.
On a Sunday lately she sang with unus-
uaI clearness and precision the first hymn,
and her soul went out in the last notes of
it. She fell dead in the arms of her
brother who was near. There was no
further service that day, and the preach
er in the pulpit had most searching per-
sonal experience that the ways of Provi-
dence are mysterious and past finding out.
The girl was beautiful and accomplished,
and had fine local reputation as vocal
list. She sang the hymn and preached
the sermon that day. The bursting of a
blood-vessel in her brain from over exer-
ton caused her death.-St. Louis Re
publican.

One of the most profitable rs well as
interesting kinds of business for woman is
the care Of bees. In a recent agricultural
report it is stated that one lady bought
four hives for $40, and in five years She
was offered 81 800 for her stock. and
refused it as not enough. In addition to
this increase in her capital, in one of
these five years she sold twenty-five hives
and 43O pounds Of honey. 1t is also
stated that in FIVE years one man, from
six colonies of bees to start with, cleared
5000 pounds of honey and fifty-four
colonies. When properly instructed,
almost any woman in the city, as easily as
in the country, can manage bees and
make more profit than in any othermethod
demanding SO little time and labor. But
in the modes ordinarily practiced few can
make any great profit in this employment.
1t is hoped a time is at hand when every
woman will 5e trained to some employ

Fortunately we have none of it, aud
the relations of the two races are entirely
friendly and confidential. lt is q COM
mon remark among our oldest white elite
Gems that the colored people of this county
are among the most orderly and iutelii-
gent in the State, and in this they do
them but justice. Neither have they AZ
any time ever sought to make color a test
of competency for Office, for, although
they possess a registered majority Of At
least twenty-five hundred, the most im-
portant county officers are filed by iH-

not, as far as we can observe, a single
ripple upon the calm sea Of our social

slightest cause for disturbing the quiet

Seeing the excitement occasiOned
throughout the country by the New Or
leans troubles, called to-day on Jefer-
son Davis for the purpose of ascertaining
his views as to the political situation IN
Louisiana and theFremedies to be applied.
[ found the gentleman, now retired from
active pursuits of all kinds and living
very quiet at his residence, and was cour-
teouslv received but failed to elicit any
expression touching on the subject intro
duced, except that he sympathised deep
" with the tax burdened and otherwise
oppressed peorle of Louisiana, and hoped
the solution of their difficulties was near
at hand. He made no allusion TO the
Presidentnor to his proclamation in favor
of Kellogg, which was published here this
morning.
eff there is any journalist to whom l
would give an expression OF my views,
continued Mr.. Davis, cit is yourself, but
| most positively decline to talk upon
public affairs, especially at this time.
And this, lie intimated was the proper
course for others of antecedents similar to
his own to pursue. The expression of
his views, no matter how carefully
framed, he thought would be certain of
perversion in the North to the detriment
of the whole South, which is now sorely
enough afflicted. Even were to read
from the Decalogue, he said, "any ex-
preston of mine would be sure or misap-
prehension and distortion by enemies of
the Southern people, and this is reason
enough for my refusing to converse upon
political affairs, which 1 trust you will
appreciate"

We only listened when the sun was low;
But that was yesterday.

We gatherd blue bells in the. wild wood way,
We pullbi the king cups from the rustling sedgei
But that WAS yesterday.
We watched the rivers further ripple leap
To catch the suns last kiss, and grey
Soft mists of evening up the valley creep;
But that was yesterday.
We sang together for the love and might
OF God and spring, and then she lay

Alone wait and watch The sun go down,
Counting dumb hours that must stay,
Ere that supreme One comes with cross anu
