Why Southern Immigration Schemes
Have Failed.

The defect, the fatal objection to all
southern immigration propositions, is
the failure to offer to sell homesteads TO
the farmers whom they seek to allure to
that country. There is no propositions
to allow the thrifty farmer an interest
in the soil. There is too much intelli.
gence in the world, even among the
working classes, to render any scheme
acceptable which does not concede to
them an equal station with any and all
other classes. The European immigrant
comes to America to secure a home for
himself and his posterity. If he is ex-
pected to be merely tenant. he viii
remain on the estates of the European
aristocrat rather than become q tenant
on the lands of an American. Let the
southern people secure an influx of
white immigration by offering to sell
lands in parcels to suit, to immigrants,
on accommodating terms, and then show
the natural advantages of the country,
and they will soon turn stream of i'm
migration in their direction. Afew years
ago a large number of Swedish aud Ger
man immigrants were induced to go to
Mississippi and Alabama. They had
not been long there until they saw the
position they were expected to occupy.
They had not come to America to be-
come hirelings. With good reason they
became dissatisfied, and scarcely waited
for the close of the year to leave the
country. Some of these people came
to Missouri, where they became pro-
prietors of small homesteads, and are
annually contributing to the prosperity
of the state. They might have remained
in Mississippi and be contributing to its
prosperity, had they been properly re-
ceived.
These may be unpleasant truths, but
it is best that they should be told. The
interest of the whole west should be
subserved by the highest possible de-
veIopment of all the southern states.
There must be a disposition to give i'm
migrants an even start in life. if the
south is ever made to bloom on account
of the labors of adopted citizens -

Fall many page has been written,
Aud the gifted have e, in the praise
Of lily-wl1ite hands and fGgers
In a score Of poetical ways;
This is all very well for lady
Who lives among diamonds and silk
But sometimes in life farmers wife
Is obliged to do hOuseWork and milk
And wOman's best mission thro'out our dear land
Is fulfilled in the strength Of the little brown hand
When the roses are blushing the sweetest,
And the vines climb up to the caves
When the robins rocking their brides
To sleep smong the maple leaves;
The sunshine smiles down cross the threshold,
When the labor of love seems but rest
Whether rocking the household brides
Or keeping the dear home-nest-
Oh! pity you al who can't understand
The wealth and the worth of a little brown hand.
If were a man with a fortune,
million laid by on the shelf
If were 3 youth-if I wasn't, in truth
If I wasn't woman myself
know what I'd do in a minute
(White fingers have often misled),
I'd seek after those whose rich tinting shows
Acquaintance with puddings and bread
I'd use all the elegance words could command,
And be proud might win a little brown hand

End of Earthly Things.

After filling the two continents OF
Europe and Asia with fame, the cele-
brated Saladin, Sultan of Egypt, con-
quered Syria, Arabia, Persia, Mesopo-
tamia, and took possession of Jerusa-
lem in 1877. His conquests suffice to
enable us to Judge of the extent of his
power and wealth. At his death, how
ever, he showed that no one was more
intimately convinced of the utter hol-
lowness of the riches and greatness of
the world. He ordered, by his will,
first, that considerable sums should be
distributed to Mussulmen, Jews and
Christians, In order that the priests of
the three religions might iinplore the
mercy of God for him I; next he COM
manded that the shirt or tunic he
should be wearing at the time of his
death should be carried on the end of q
spear throughout the whole camp and
at the head of his army, and that the
soldier who bore it should pause at in
tervals and say aloud:
"Behold all that remains of the EN-
peror Saladin. OF all the States he had
conquered of all the provinces he sub
dued l.: of the boundless treasures he
had amassed; of the countless wealth
he possessed, he obtained, in dying,
nothing but this shroud."

The Girl to Find.

The true girl has to be sought after.
She does not parade herself in snowy
goods. She is not fashionable. Gen
orally she is not rich. But oh what
a heart she has when you find her-so
large, and pure, and womanly. When
you see it you wonder if those snowy
things outside are women. If you gain
her love, your two thousands are mill
ions. She'll not ask you for carriage
or frst-class house. She'll wear
simple dresses, and turn them when
necessary, with no vulgar magnifcate
to frown upon her economy. She'll
keep everything neat and nice in your
sky parlor, and give you such wei.
come when you come home that you'll
think your power higher than ever.
She'll entertain true friends on dollar
and astonish you with the new thought
how little happiness depends on money.
She'll make you love home Cf you
don't your brute), and teach you how
to pity while you scorn poor fashion
able society that thinks itself rich and
vainly tries to think itself happy. Now,
do not, L pray you, say any more, 1
can't afford to marry" Go, find the
true woman. And you can. Throw
away cigars, burn up that switch cane
be sensible yourself, and seek your
wife in O sensible way.

International DivOrcing.

Toronto is exercised over one of her
citizens who has been awaiting himself
of the facilities offered by Chicago in
the way of divorce. DIR. Sangster, in
charge of the Normal school, sent to
the city of easy liberation from marital
bonds and got decree separating him
from his wife. Then he married a
woman with whom scandal had pre-.
viously connected his name. Now he
has been chosen to represent the Onta-
rio District IN the Provincial Board of
Education, and quite breeze is stirred
up in consequence, his conduct being
characterized as immoral. One conun-
drum presented to the Canadian mind
is how far the reciprocity treaty would
affect free exchanges of divorce con-
veniences and encourage such Sangs-
terrain operations in the future.

All yes this is no dream I must suppose
There are such things. This is a world of prose-
But was far away. How real il seemed,
And yet only dreamed.
1 was a welcome and happy guest
In brave palace. Upward from the west
Long shadows Of the lingering afternoon
In long day of june
Lay lawn. The palace windows burned
In the red sunset, as downward turned
group OF youths and maidens AZ my side
Down to river wide,
Upon whose waves the western sky lay red
barge awaited us and overhead
Streamed rosy wreaths of cloud. We sped along
With joyous thought and song
Away away-into land of light.
Where 1t was neither morn, nor noon, nor night,
But dream-lght only; and a city stood
Beyond tropic wood.
And in the pathway to that happy place
All was incessant change OF time and space,
With sudden sweet surprises, as we went
In measureess content
And friends-the absent and the dead--were there
And some we never saw, yet seemed to wear
The mingled traits Of those used to know
Went passing to and fro
Through festive halls, through gardens strange
and rare;
And all were young, and all were happy there.
How could you wake me from a dream OF bliss
To such place as this?
Twas hard to leave that life for one 80 mean,
For prose, and duty, and the old routine
OF work. Yet, now that am up and dressed,
l know that this is best.
The lordly soul is master of its own.
The fair insanites of dreams have flown.
They were but moonlight hashes-broken CLEANS
Along its flowing streams.
Another light rcbukes the tinsel dress
OF drifting fancies wild and rudderless;
Nor can the nights duh testers now impose
IN reasons borrowed clothes.
And as plod along, know that life
IL but the stun from which with toll and strife
We weave our robe of thought and creed-and
unge
Woodwork while daylight lasts; and let the night
Spin her thin webs Of visionary Light
The rainbow hues from the cataract
OF lie and living fact.
