WHICH SHALL 1T BE?

(which shallit be ? which shall It be ~
I looked at John-John looked at me.
DEAR patient John, who loves me yet,
As well as though my locks were jet)
And when found that must speak,
MY voice seemed strangely low and weak;
suTeI me again what Robert said;''
And them listening bent my head.
sThis is his letter.
81 will give
A house and land while you shall live,
If. in return from out your seven,
One child to me for aye is given
Hooked at Johns old garments worn,
Thought of all that John had borne
Oipoverty, and work and care,
Which I, though willing, could not share,
OF seven hungry mouths to feed,
of seven little childrens need,
And then OF this
"Come john" said /.
.sWe'u choose among them as they lie
Asleep;" so walking hand in hand
Dear John and surveyed our band.
First to the cradle lightly stepped,
Where Lillian, the baby slept;
Her damp curls lay like gold alight,
A glory gainst the pillow white;
Softly her father stopped to lay
His rough hand down in loving way,
When dream or whisper made her STIR
And huskiiy he said, ''Not her,"
We stooped beside the trundlebed,
And one long ray of lamp-light shed
Athwart the boyish faces there,
In sleep so pitifu and fair.
7 saw on Jamie's rough. red cheek
tear undred; ere John could speak.
"He's but baby, too " said l,
And kissed him as we hurried by.
Pale patient Robbies angel face
Still in his face bore suffering traces
..No for a thousand crowns not him."
He whispered, while our eyes grew dim.
Poor Dick! Bad Dick! our Maynard son,
turbulent, reckless, idle one
could he be spared? Nay, he who gave,
Rids us befriend him to the grave;
On1y a mothers heart can be
patient enough for such as he;
And So" said John, 81 would not dare
To send him from her bedside prayer"
Then stole we softly up above.
And knelt by Mary child of love;
perhaps for her 'twould better be-
said to John. Quite silently
He lifted up a curl that lay
Across her cheek in willful way.
And shook his head: may love, not thee"
The while my heart beat audibly.
Only one more, our eldest lad,
Trusty and TRUTHFUL good and glad
So like his father: mo, John, no;
cannot will not let him go.'
And so we wrote in courteous way,
We could not give one child away,
And afterward toll lighter seemed,
Thinking of that Of which we dreamed
Happy, in TRUTH that not one face
We missed from its accustomed place;
Thankful to work for all the seven,
Trusting them to One in Heaven

RnpIdlty of Thought in Dreaming,

Avery remarkable circumstance, and
an important point in analogy, is to be
found in the extreme rapidity with
which the mental operations arc per-
formed, or rather with which the mate
rial changes on which ideas depend are
excited in the hemispherical ganglia.
II would appear as il a whole series OF
acts, that would really occupy long
space Of time, pass ideally through the
mind in an instant. We have in dreams
NO truo perception Of the lapse OF time
"a strange property Of mind-for il
such be also IFS property when entered
into the eternal, disembodied state,
time will appear to us eternity. The
relations Of space, as we'll as time, are
hnnihilated, so that while almost an
eternity Is compressed into a moment,
infinite space is traversed more swiftly
than by real thought. There arc nu.
merous illustrations Of this principle on
record.
A gentleman dreamed that he had on
listed as soldier, deserted his regi.
mont, was apprehended, carried back,
tried, condemned to be shot, and at last
led out for execution. After the usual
preparations a gun was fred he awoke
with the report, and found that a noise
in the next room had al the same mo-
ment produced the dream and awAk-
ened him,

Once / had pair Of iFiehda-.o one
man, one woman-who married to-
gether." So / lost them for each re-
sented the confidence OF the other in
me. For years knew little Of them /;
but by.and.by the wife came to me for
uonnsul and assistance, Shs WA dis
satisfied with home and husband she"
was Jealous, e3acting, yet rndemon.
strative and she was tired to the soul.
Investigation showed me that the blame
OF all this lay at her own door her
husband had not made so rapid advance
in the world as she had thought he
would; marrying IN ideal, she would
not bect me teconciled to reality per-
sistently looking for foreign attributes
in a practical nature, imagination came
to grief, and fancy-not loye-perished,
Fortunately, my influence healed the
breach ere It was irremediable-und l
regained my friends. This is not the
point OF the story, however; but the
young wife may draw her own moral
from 1t. She should remember that she
has chosen her own lot in life, and it is
her duty, therefore, to suit herself to
her husband in all things; il he be
hasty in temper, let her keep her own
under control; IL he be selfish, she
must teach him the nobility Of generoSi-
ty, and, more important than oil, per.
haps, il lie becomes embarrassed in cir
cumstances, it is her duty to mid him
by her kindness, not TO mutter or OPP
press him by her III temper. Upon the
mail sex the task Of providing the
means Of subsistence is, in civilized So
ciety, almost exclusively imposed; and
consequently, when they become dis.
tressed, and have not wherewithal TO
provide for their partners, they suffer
doubly, They have not only their own
priyations to regret, but yours also
and the worlds frown, and the worlds
sometime unjust-censure falls en-
tirely upon the husband. The wife eau
hide from the world, but the husband
must face its pride andprosperity. May
all young wives be permanently pros
porous, but for the honor OF woman
hood, We admonish them not to letadver-
sity, should il unfortunately lay its iron
hand upon them, induce them to de-
part from that afiectionate conduct, in
word or deed, which they owe to theil
husbands, and conduct themselves in
such manner as to do away with the
proverb: "When Poverty comes in Al
