Iossess countless number, and of each
secret they are co-possessors. Traces of
these secrets are ever coming to the sur

you are in the habit of thinking of fyour-

loye the fair creatures bear towards each

indulged in which very quickly enable
people to form an opinion as to the state
of the case. A large portion of the
s.friends' - time is spent In selecting
gifts for each other. The brooches, the
charms, the earrings, the rings, the
bracelets they wear are all marks of the
intense affection in which they are mu-
tually held. They cannot be separated
without experiencing the keenest pangs
and inf1ictiDg an immense amount of
labor upon the post-office officials, for
which those efunctionaries are, no doubt,
sufficiently grateful. All this would
be very beautiful were it not for several
important facts. In general way the
display of affection, in its most exuber-

less than simple affection. 1t is one of
the crazes to which young ladies' of a
sentimental turn of mind seem to be ad-

SERVANTS.

A CRYING grievance in homes is, as
has often been reiterated, the insolence
and brazenness of servants. A consci-
entious one who faithfully performs
each duty, is a phenom anon to be cher

ton.
Tact and a brave spirit are required to
face the inspection of applicants for sit

One Is compelled to submit to such scru-
tiny and catechising that the head is IL
able to be dazed with the sudden turn

tress finding servant to suit her, the

brevity, whether the mistress will do or
not.

A sHIPwRECKED LIFE.

SO poor Dick Yates Is gone. A dis
patch from st. Louis tells us of his sud-
den death on Thanksgiving day. The
snare is broken at last, and the sorely
bruised and wounded soul is escaped.
A dozen years since, Dick Yates was
one of the rising men of the West. A
thoroughly good fellow, kindly in
heart and manner, well stocked with
brains, possessed also of good voice, q
keen sense of humor and no little per-
sonal magnetism, there seemed every
reason to predict for him an exception
ally successful and brilliant career.
There was every reason but one.
Like so many good fellows before him,
Dick Yates ssdrank''-at first moderate
ly, then oftener and more, then to stu
pefaction or delirium. He made more
than one desperate struggle to free
himself, but the net of fate-to borrow
from Eschylus-was around him.
Whether it was hereditary taint or dis
ease, or merely a weak will and strong
appetite, he drank on. Men began to
speak of hln as drunken Dick Yates"
His infirmity became matter of public
gossip and scandal. A fond husband, a
kind father, his thirst for whiskey pro-
ved stronger than his love for his wife
and the little children she had borne

the war governor of Illinois, the popu-
lar senator, the man of whom his friends
had cherished hopes of even higher pre-

the service of the people whose conf
dence he had abused. whose patience he
had exhausted. OF his life since then,
we know too little to speak.
The pity of it, the pity of It'll God
forbid that we should say harsh word
beside this open grave-still less to
judge and condemn. We have not re-

by young men, in the colleges and else

,NMINTER again, and the land is
EEy once more wrapped in the same

Sometimes mistress is more agreeable
in the intelligence office than in her
own house, but servants claim the right
to be SAB. It is part of their profession.
which it is happiness to know all do
not avail themselves of. But an imposing
army do most emphatically assert this
and that inconsistent claim after being
duly installed.
Little by little, for the sake of peace,
the mistress of the house yields her
place, until she finds that she has few
rights in her own kitchen which any
one is bound to respect. People who
have wine on their tables must not COM
plain if servants make excursions to
corner groceries or grogshops; but it is
incouvenient to have q cook announce,
with beer rebellion, at dinner time, that
she Z" viii not cook yes morsel."
Then are the culinary precincts per-
meated with trepedation, and entrance
therein provocative Of senseless abuse
like the following: "I'm jist as good as
yersel', and YEN hiv to pay fer me
characther, and i give We warnin' fer
this day week.
Visions of more excursions for ser
wants, makes the crushed mistress for
bearing, and the servant feels sure of
her ground. The house becomes
scene of insurrection and communism.
What is to be done? The cook is drunk.
"Miserable creature" says the mistress
while she sips her glass of wine at the
picked up dinner. Pity she did not be-
gin at the root of the trouble, abolish in
toxicating drinks from her table, and
set an example of adherence for the
many that can poison the peace of
homes.
An "act of parliament sir'' will not
humble her cookship until she gets So
ber. Sleep is the sweet restorer. that
alone will bring her back to her normal
condition. So household proceedings
must wait while the cook biissfully
dreams away the rest of her spree.
Some one has said that s'every organ
grinders wife was countess in Italy. !"
Certainly must the servants who devas-
tate the comfort of homes in these days,
have proceeded from palaces and luxu-
ry. So no wonder that they imbue you
with a sense of deep obligation that they
condescend to work in your kitchen.
Nowhere on the face of the earth as in
';free America" do servants dare to be
such insufferable, important, indepen-
dent creatures. But mistresses, as a
class, may also take lessons abroad in
household economies.
There are good mistresses and good
servants in this country. The excep-
ton establishes the rule.

BY MABEL

Wy HAT stars nave faded from our sky!
w What hopes unfolded but to die!
What dreams SO fondly pOndered DER
Forever lost thc hues they wore;
How Ikea death bell. sad and low,
Tolls through the soul lone year ago."
Where Is the face we loved to greet,
The form that graced the flreside seat,
The gentle smile, the winning way,
That blessed our life path day by day;
Where fed those accents. soft and low.
That thrilled our hearts " one year agof"
All! vacant is the fireside chair,
The smile that won no longer there;
From door and hall, from porch and lawn,
The echo OF that voice Is gone:
And we who linger only know
How much we lost " one year ago"
Beside the grove the marble white
Keeps silent watch by day and night,
Serene she sleeps, nor heeds the tread
OF footsteps DER her lowly head;
Her pulseless heart no more shall know
The pangs Of life . one year ago."
But why repines A few more years,
A few more broken signs and tears,
And we, enlisted with the dead.
Shall follow where'er her steps have led,
To that fair world rejoicing go,
To which she passed " one year ago"

THE HAPPY HOME.


Every mans proper dwelling is the
domestic hearth, where ever this is, or
whatever its character, whether in town
or country.
The occupations of life necessarily
cause the members OF family to be sep
arated many hours of the day. After
the cares and tolls of business are ended
how gladdening to turn to the peace
and quiet of happy home: to have one
spot where the worries OF the world
may be forgotten, and che purest earth
ly joys realized!
There is surely something seriously
wrong in the moral condition of the
man of youth in whose heart the love of
home has no place; to whom the club,
the public house, or the habit of gad-
ding and desire of gossip have more at
fractions; such persons are not merely
their own enemies, but the enemies also
of those to whom they should be full of
affection. For while they waste their
time and substance in such manner, the
tie which ought to bind husband, wife,
parents and children. members of the
one household, is broken, and discon-
tent and wretchedness are sure to fol-
low.
How sad to think that the blessings of
home should ever be despised and cast
from US blessings compared with which
earth has none greater to bestow. The
causes which lead to this evil, lie deep
in our own corrupt nature, and there
fore the only certain remedy is to be
songht in the Bible.
If we were asked, which is the hap
piest home? that we should say in
which true religion lives and rules, for
there love and peace, and goodwill pre-
vail.
Que great cause of the want of unity
between fathers and sons, and also be-
tween all the members of family,
their neglect of their relative duties-s
such as these: "Fathers, provoke not
your children to wrath, but bring them
up in the nurture and admonition of the
LOrd;" and, "Children. obey your pa.
rents in the Lord, for this is right"
"Home is not merely foursquare walls,
Though with pictures hung and gilded;
Home is where affection calls
Filled with shrines the heart has builded
Ilome-go catch the faithful dove,
Sailing meath the heaven above us;
Home is where there's one to love
Home is where there's one to love us."

Where tangled eobwebs cross and intertwine,
And old. grim spiders from their corners
look.
From distaff, band and polished rim, are hung
The dusty meshes. Black the spindle is,
Crooked and rusty-a dead, silent tongue
That once made whirring mtsic-tbere it lies.
Oh. dear to me il this forsaken thing!
gaze upon it, and my eyes grow dim;s
ForI can see my mother, hear her sing,
AS winds the shining thread, and whirls the
rim.
So sweet the song !--her youngest on her knee
Now a low warble, now some grand old hymn.
Sublime, exaltant, full of victory,
Triumphant as the songs of seraphim
Sweet toileri through her life of crowded care,
While grief came oft. and pain, and weari-
ness,
still swelicd the anthem-still was breathed the
PRAYER,
TniDeath came clasping with his cold caress.
She sings no more; beside the chimney wide
No more she spins. Years come and go;
Above her grave upon the lone hillside,
The snow-drifts lie, the summer grasses grow.
