DREAMLAND GRAVES.
By T. Z. F

Dre,mland lies close % every soul;
rs doors viii open az lightest words,
And thoughts hy in and out Ike birds,
And build their nests on every Knoll
Zach aying thought viii rear its brood:
Each dreamy hope will build its nest,
And cover with its plumy breast
Sweet singers who our sight elude.
But, oh, the graves in dreamland found
The buried plans, the hopes so chilled;
The sealed-up tombs with fond loves niled:
The turf heaped up on greenest mound
Some dream-graves shine with soft swar
True love still watches DER its dead:
Spring roses blossom at the head,
And rainbow sunsets drop them light.
Some dig their graves and proud and chill
From youths dear dreams turn with a snee
You never from them know how dear
Were the SOFT hopes that Time doth kill.
There tender mourners wander long,
AND grleye for what they never had.
There glide the ghosts OF heroes glad.
There noiseless chants the poets song.
There hide the books that ne,er were writ.
Ihere, buried in dreamland mold,
Rust eats the marble statue cold,
Ahe1 never sculptor's tools shall fit.
There little graves OF childish hope
Lie close 10 the great sarcOphagi;
Mhere giant palms must buried lie,
AND neither more in dreamland grope
Thus dreamland is so full OF graves,
You scarce can find spot TO place
A footstep, OF your paths deface
Some haliowed spot that memory Graves.
0, cemetery Of dead dreams,
Ihe vastest graveyard earth can show;
Your boundaries no man can know
TIL heavens revealing glory streams.
We then shall reap what now we SOW;
No longer wrapt in silence dumb,
Your resurrection then shall come
With Easter mornings golden glow.

Choosing a School.

As no people experience so many vi
cissitudes in generation as the Ameri-
cans, none stand in greater need of a
universal and practical education. For
tune is so extremely tickle in this west
ern world, where the onrushing tide OF
humanity is subject to a thousand infiu-
ences, where speculation is rife, extrava-
gance is on the increase, and impatience
Is the ruling passion of the hour, men
and women need to be prepared for any
late. And to this end they must possess
that knowledge which will prove of use
in the hour of trial. Whatever may
have been the condition of women in
other ages and lands, in the United
States of to-day the exigences of the
hour are such that n practical educa-
tion for them can no longer be safely ig-
nored. Girls need something more sub
stantial than the accomplishments.

go out into life aud fight its battles. II
all women were Lady Angelinas and
Baroness Bountifuls, with inherited es-
Establishments and adequate incomes.
then piano playing, waltZing, n smat-
tering OF French, and course of moral
philosophy and English literature
might suffice to float through life. But
even among such class we should ex-
pect to see much fOolishness, perhaps
absolute wickedness, vanity, extrava-
gauce, and butterfly existence in be-
coming a human being. No matter
how proud position a woman may oc-
eupy in America to-day, as the wife Of a
President or Senator, as the daughter of
a merchant OF wealth, or a great banker,
tomorrow she experiences reverses
which require all her fortitude to meet,
and possibly demand mental or physi-
eal exertiOn on her part TO secure the
neceSsaries of life. Instances like these
are innumerable i'm our history, while
the large class of women who are not
born 10 wealth, and have little prospect
Of getting on i'm the world, stand in
equal need of knowing how to DO some
thing which shall bring price; how TO
accomplish that which shall render
them Independent, and be of use to
Others. Realizing these conditions, par
ents, who, at this season Of the year, are
seeking the best schools in which to
place their daughters, will naturally
choose those where there is a judicious
mingling of the practical with the orna-
mental. Many schools and colleges for
ladies now give instruction in scientific
and practical matters, laying the fOun-
dations of an education upon which a
successful and sheltering super-structure
can be reared afterward. Every fond
/ father loves to see his daughter beauti-
/ ful, rOsy-cheeked, sweet-voiced, healthy,
delicate-handed, interesting and accom-
/ plished; he should also wish to see her
sensible, selt-sustained, wise and pro-
vided with the best armour he can give
her for warding of the stings and ar
rows OF an outrageous fortune.

An Ancient Relic.

Recently, at Rockford, Ills, party OF
gentlemen interested in the early his
tory OF America, made an important
discovery relating to the works of the
Mound Builders, the remains of which
are so abundant In the Mississippi Val
ley. Work was commenced or a large
mound about 80 feet in diameter, and S
feet I'm length. After four hours work
In the heat and sun, the company were
rewarded by finding a smoothly polished
gypsum tablet, covered on one side with
very mysterious characters, which were
and still are as unintelligible to all the
members Of the party as Sancrit or
Lybian. The tablet is two inches wide.
three and one-fOurth inches long. and
one-fourth of an inch thick. At the
center of the top is curiously wrought
face, surrounded by what appears 10 be
rays of light; beneath, and running
nearly 10 the bottom, Is an upright bar,
supported by a oss-bar; at the left up-
per corner is the form of a coiled ser
pent; beneath this is triangle, another
serpent, lizard, and what appears to be
a burning taper. These figures stand i'm
a line, one above the other. In the
right hand upper corner is a character
the letter u, and beneath
this one resembling the letter L; next a
dagger-shaped character, under which is
fish's head; next an elongated circular
character, with a dot in the center, and
a continued stroke from the upper left
next under this are four bars
crossing each other at alternate angles;
under this last figure, that of a we'll
formed hsh, making fourteen distinct
figures in all. The edges are beveled
and traced. This relic was found about
eight feet below the surface Of the
mound, and directly under it was found
a number of spear points, stone axes, or
hammers, and various other relies, in
GLIDING what appeared to be the re-
mains of human bones. Two other
mounds were opened by the party, in
which human bones were found, but no
relics as valuable as the one described

SPIRITUALIsN.-Spiritualism, accord
ing to the New York Times, is RAPIDLY
becoming the national religion of the
United States. That this wierd and
mysterious belief is making giant
strides, can be no longer ignored. All
the advanced Protestant beliefs are fast
gravitating towards Spiritualism. The
most skeptical can no longer deny that
there are many manifestations in Spirit
ualism which must emauate from the
supernatural; that cannot be explained
on any human hypothesis. OF course,
the spiritual ranks are crowded with
quacks and impostOrs; but for
all that, there are many truthful, hon
orable, and, of late years, educated peo-
pie in the persuasion, too.
We believe that Spiritualism will ere
long be productive of incredible discov-
eries.-.SdH BeTndrdino Guardian.
