Dreaming.

What wonderous consolation comes
to us in those blessed hours when the
body lies resting. The spirit roams at
will, nor distance, space, or time can
separate US from our loved. The treas
ures snatched away by death are ours
again. Forms only dust to-day, are
with US in by-gone years. The same
tint of hair and shade of eye; the same
rich coloring of lip, and expanse OF
brow the same expression. The lit
tie peculiarities which eudeared them
to our hears, make dreaming a blessed
reality. 1F
How apt are veto exclaim, when
walking, "0h, could 1 dream the same
again. Bereaved mother, you are
comforted when your baby nestles in
your arms again; the little fingers
thrill you when wandering as of old.
The wee face breaks into smiles at
your caress! You would hold baby
thus forever Alas! you must awake
Awake to find an empty cradle,
empty arms, and longing heart.
There is more pleasure in dreams
than in realities. The awakening en-
bitters both. Brother, sister, you
awakened from the sunny dreams OF
youth? Are the hopes you cherished
dead? Have friends forsaken you
Has disease claimed you for his prey
Because that was so bright, and this
so dark, will you allow your life TO be
failure? Ii you cannot be what you
would, will you not be what you can
Can you kindle ashes? viii you live
Alright.

Thackefay ON Female Society.

It's better for you to pass an even
ing once or twice a week in a lady's s
drawing-room, even though the con-
versation is slow, and you know the
girls song by heart, than in a club, a
tavern, or the pit of a theatre. All
amusements of youth, to which virtu-
Gus women are not admitted, rely on
it, are deleterious in their nature. All
men who avoid female society have
dull perceptions and are stupid, or
have gross tastes, and revolt at what is
pure. Your club swaggerers, who are
sucking the butts of billiard cues all
night, call female society insipid.
Poetry is uninspiring to yokel; beauty
has no charms for blind man; music
does not please poor beast who does
not kEow one tune from another; but
as pure epicure is hardly ever tired
of water, sancey, and brown bread
and butter, protest | can sit for a
whole night talking with well regu-
lated, kindly woman about her girl
Fanny or her boy Frank, and like the
evenings entertainment. One of the
great benefits man may derive from
woman's society. is that he is bound to
be respectful to her. The habit is OF
great good to your moral men, depend
upon it. Our education makes of us
the most eminently selfish men in the
world. We fight for ourselves, we push
for ourselves, we yawn for ourselves
We light our pipes, and we say We won'i
go out, We prefer ourselves and ouE
case; and the greatest good that comes
to man from woman's society is that
he has to think of somebody to whom
he is bound to be constantly attentive
and respectful.

The Great Mississippi Basin.

Governor Beveridge, of Illinois, in
his speech at the bridge opening in
st. Louis, thus eloquently pictured the
future of the Mississippi valley:
In this great valley, extending from
the lakes to the Gulf, from the Ale
ghany to the Rocky Mountains, with its
vast territory, its countless rivers and
lakes, its mountains and prairies, its
fertility of soil, its salubrity ofclimate,
its variety of productions, its deposits
of minerals, its growing population, its
industry, its mighty energies, with all
its capabilities and possibilities, there
are space and facility for two magnif-
cent cities; and predict that Chicago
and st. Louis will be two of the most
magnificent cities on the American
continent, yieing with other cities, for
the trade and commerce of the world.
And | predict that, In fifty years with
these two cities as great commercial
eenters, Illinois and Missouri will each
contain 10000, 900 of souls.
And / predict that, in fifty years,
the States lying between the mountains
upon the lakes, upon the Ohio, Mis-
souri,, Upper Mississipsi, and their
tributaries, will contain a population
of 100, 600, ,0O0-that this mighty peo-
pie will control the destinies of the
continent, and their giant power will
vibrate through the nations. This
mighty people, standing with their
backs to the dark forests of the North,
will ever look Southwark, and rail
roads and the rivers will be their high
ways to the Gulf. They will lay their
left hand upon the Atlantic to sport
with the commerce of the Old World,
and will stretch out their right hand
across the Pacific to gather in the
trade of Asia and the isles of the sea.
And the people who live beyond the
Alleghanies on the Atlantic coast, and
the people who live on the borders Of
the Cult, and the people who live be-
yond the Rocky Mountains on the Pa
cifiic slope, must live in peace and har-
mony with this mighty people under
the same Constitution aud laws; for
this mighty people will ever own or
control highways of travel and COM
merce to the Gulf and both seas, aud
will ever make ocean and Gulf con-
tribute to their wants, their prosperity,
their power, their glory.

Common Events.

Make common events serve a holy
purpose. Of old times Michael An
gelo took his copies from the persons
in the streets, and wrought them out
on tho walls of the Vatican,
changing beggar into a giant, and an
ordinary woman who bore q basket OF
flowers on her arms into an angel, and
the beggar and the fower-girl stand
there now in their lustrous beauty,
speaking to eyes that wander from ev-
cry side of the great world. The rock
slumbered in the mountain, and he
reached his hands out and took it and
gathered the stones from the field
about him, and built them into that
awful pile which, covering acres on the
ground, reaches up its mighty dome
toward heaven, constraining the mob
of the city to bow their foreheads and
to vow great prayers to God. So, my
brothers and my sisters, out of the
common events Of life, out of the pas
sions put by God in your hearts you
may paint on the walls of your life the
fairest figures, angels and prophets
Out Of the common stones of your
daily work you may build yourself
temple which shall shelter your head
from all harm and bring down on you
the inspiration of God.-Theodore
Parker.

Spare Well, Spend Well.

1t is very critical time in a boys
history when he first begins to earn a
little money, and has the spending of
it in his own hands. The way in which
he invests his first shillings is a matter
of far greater importance than he ever
imagines. 1t may furnish the key to
all his future career. 1t is quite as
important an art to learn to spend
we'll as to learn to spare we'll" A
boy-miser is most contemplate,
hopeless character, but a frugal, econo-
mical boy, is laying the foundation of
substantial character, and most like
ly of successful business career.
When the candy stores tempt you,
learn to pass on. IF necessary to brace
up your resolution. leave your wallet
at home. know boy, who has been
but year in his situation, who spent
every thing he could command last
season on expensive candies and ice
cream. There was no one to control
him; his friends were at a distance,
and he drew on them for funds to keep
his clothing respectable. They we're
busy people, who had a general i'm
preston that his salary was notenough
to support him--so they supplied his
wants from time to time. They have
but just discovered how the money
went, and you may be sure that they
were not well pleased to find their con-
fdence had been so abused. At one
time he had made himself quite i'll by
his excessive indulgence in confection-
cry, and his friends had felt great
anxiety about his hard work, !" which
was so oyertaxing him.
Don't indulge in Injuries in food,
clothing, or surroundings which you
can not afford. If you feel after
purchase, This was not right" be
sure you have made bad bargain. If
a sick mother or sister mad a moral
claim on you for the money, no bless
ing will attend a selfish expenditure
of it, The noble lesson of self-denial
is one you can not begin to learn too
early, because it is one your heavenly
Father enjoins upon you.
Think well over your expenditures,
and it will help you wonderfully to
make profitable investments. Good,
tidy clothing throughout is very val
uabe thing for any body, and is let
ter of recommendation wherever he
goes. 1t should correspond, however,
with his occupation, and the different
parts harmonize with each other, or
the good effect is lost. Neatness in
preference to showiness, is a sound
rule. A fashy necktie never shows
off well upon soiled linen, and it is
marked fact that they very often go
together. If you triAe away your dol
lars in boyhood, you will most likely
see the time when you will realize very
forcibly how many cents it takes to
make one. Better count the pennies
now, and you will stand far better
chance some day to have dollars to
count in your pocket-book.

The Sons Of Song.

The sons of song, who conduct our
congregational music have their
troubles as well as their triumphs, and
it is possible that in neither, do they
get quite the sympathy they deserve.
A paper from over the water, tells
us the following:
In village near Airdrie, an incl
dent occurred lately at an evening SER
mon meeting. The leader Of psalHo-
dy, a somewhat raw individual, made
a stumble, and finally came to dead
stand in the singing Of tune. After
three more uncessful attempts he cried
in his agony, This is most tremende-
GUS wark ~ The risibilities of the au-
dience being excited by this remark,
the troubled ''son of song" turned to
the minister and said, apologetically,
That ane'll no gang avail" He re-
solved, however, to try again but be-
fore he had found the right keynote,
a gentleman in the audience had struck
up "St. Paups," and it was joined in
by the congregation. At the second
line, however, the discounted precen-
tor bawled out, Haud on wee I've
gotten't moo 7" The congregation, al
though they did not "haud on, had. as
may well be imagined, to "haud" their
sides to prevent an unseemly explosion
of laughter.

Mr.. George Smith has Just returned
to London from Nineveh, and sends to
the Athen@um these notes regarding a
part of curious tablet containing an
Assyrian copy of an early Babylonian
text: Portions of this interesting
document were already in the British
Museum. The genealogy and opening
paragraphs Of the text were, however,
still wanting; therefore there was no
evidence as to the age of the inscrip-
ton. have now discovered, in the
palace -bani-pal, at Koyunjk, the
remaining portion of the inscription,
which proves to be of great interest.
The genealogy presents six names, four
of which are perfect; the names are
early in style, and belong to the most
ancient period Of Babylonian history,
one curious point being that the king
counts as his ancestor Sugamuna, who
was afterwards worshipped by the Bah
ylonians as god. Tie date of this
text is probably at least as early as B.
q. 1000, and it gives curious view Of
the history and religion of Babylon at
that early period. 1t appears that in
one of the wars of that age the Baby
lonians had been defeated by the peo-
pie Of HAM, place the name and ex-
istence Of which had passed away in
Assyrian times, and the images of
Merdoach and Liratbanit (the Succoth
Benoth OF the Bible) had been carried
away to the land of Hani. The King
Of Babylon sent high officer to Hani,
who brought back these sacred images,
when they were rededicated with great
splendor, the monarch making rich
presents of gold, jewels and clothing to
the shrines."

How She Dipped Him.

The Cape May Wave relates the fol-
lowing incident: Among the excur-
sionists that came from Wilmington
by steamer was an evenly weighed man
and wife. She 300 avoirdupois he,
scarce 100 pounds would poise. Well,
they must bathe, of course what were
the trips to Cape May without an ocean
dip? A bath-house was secured. By
tight sweezing our fat lady got into a
bathing robe that was ready to burst
at every step. Little husband girded
about his body a wooden garment that
fit like shirt on a kildee. Down they
go, bold as a couple of whales, to the
waters; but Just at the oceans edge
Puny suddenly halted, looked with
awe on the furious billows, and then
into the face of his determined three
hundred. On her countenance were
the words, Come ONT On his tremb-
ling lips shivered the sounds, oh. mol
The small specimen of diminutive
husbandry feared to risk his dimiau-
tive portion Of flesh and bones in the
dashing foam lest some unlucky billow
might swallow him down like a snipe.
You shall go in, said the fat woman.
L won't, said skinny, at the same time
making frantic efforts TO tear away
down he goes in the sand scratching
worse than a Kilkenny cat. Down
drops the three hundred upon terrified
bones, slick as a hawk upon a spring
chicken. The sand few, legs kicked,
man screamed, yet in spite Of all the
mammoth wife gathered her one hun
dred pounds OF furious sweetness in
her arms, walked eomplaeently into
the biggest breakers and kersouse she
lands him headforemost into the sea,
and as he popped up to the surface,
half strangled, she pressed him to her
bosom, saying Now, honey, that's
what you came all the way from Will
mington to enjoy.

has better antecedents-its latin form,
though usually construed as syncny-
nous, is marvelously tempered by the
force of the particle Res The legal
fiction that all men were born free and
equal is certainly useful in the Declar-
alton of Independence, possibly other
where according to the maxim, in
legal ictions subsist equities" but the
system of the government which makes
it corner stone has to my thinking a
splendid chance of failure. But all
this is beside the mark, and Mr.. Y,
loudly called for. has pushed back his
sleeves, either in memory Of his late
belligerency, or to show that his hands
are clean, and begun a nice little speech
full of thanks to the dear people for
their unlimited endorsement. As I
always like to leave something to the
readers imagination, / shall not men
ton the applause that greeted and
encouraged both speakers, or how
other parties failed to answer the de-
mands of a yet clamorous audience,
and be likewise reticent as to the ex-
tent to which those who did speak
ruffied the plumage of our glorious
bird of freedom. The general public
might prefer a similar course in regard
to the looks Of the assemblage, but it
would not suit so well those who were
there, for next to the pleasure of writ
ing is that being written about. So,
as staunch upholder of the rights of
minorities, shall do that part of the
subject justice without mercy. All
appeared we'll and happy, but 1 never
yet, in the course of somewhat pro-
tracted existence, saw crowd in which
ugly folks we're not in a decided major
ity, and this was no exception to the
rule, though the per cent. of good
looks was perhaps exceptionally large.
Clarksville was worthily represented,
especially as to its ladies. New Proyi-
dence furnished a fair quota. A
golden haired beauty gave us a realiz-
ing sense of the boasted fairness of
Kentucky girls. though in the balance
of the crowd, which as to locality 1 |
shall class Ia Wegg as human wari-
Gus" were many equally worthy of |
special mention.
Nineteenthly, in conclusion, to those
good souls who toilfully made ready, !
to those agreeable ones who rejoicing
ly came, and to those disagreeables
who considerably stayed away, in my |
own behalf and in that of others, 1 |
return sincere thanks for a pleasant |
day. s. M. A. G..

Let us not be too particular wheshel
We pray philosophically or not. 1 hav.
tried in opposition to the seepticism Of
the time, to find philosophical basi,
for prayer; but in the act of devotion
philosophy may be forgotten. Indeed
the language of devotion must be diff.
ferentfrom the language of philosophy
In the act of devotion, we crave a hu.
man sympathy and love responsive to
our own !; we want to feel the pulsa-
tions of loving heart; we want to see
the smile of affection beaming upon
US from eyes and lips that respond to
ours.
Poor babes that we are in our weak
ness, we may still be the children of
God. Let the child pray for toys and
ginger bread; he will grow to a condi-
ton In which he will want them no
longer. Let the farmer pray for rain
and sunshine he will come some time
where the twelve-fruited tree of life
needs no rain to water il, and no sun
shine to make it grow. Let the sailor
pray for favorable breezes; he will
come some time to a haven where no
stormy winds blow. Let the sick man
pray for recovery; he will come at last
to land where sickness is unknown.
Let anxious friends, watehin14 by the
bedside where life trembles in the bal
ance, pray for life, and they will come
to that life where the one great family
of God is never broken. Let us pray
then for things we seem to need but
let the undertone of Thy will be
done" run through all our prayers, till
that alone of all our earthly petitions
shall blend with the myriad-voiced
chorus of alteration in heaven. After
this manner, therefore, let us pray:
'Hallowed be Thy name. Thy king
dom come, Thy will be done. ."-Zon's
Herald.
