THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE
WORLD.

By WILL IAN ROSS WALLACE.
Bless nss on the hcnd CT Woman
Angels gar d it's strength and grs %
In tho palace, cottage, hovel,
o, no matter where the place
Would that never storms assailed it;
Rainbows ever gently curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
lnfaIcys the tender fountain;
Power may with Beauty flow;
Mothers first to guide the stream els
From them souls uuresing grow,
Grow on for the good Or evil,
Sunshine streamed or darkness hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cra'1e
Is the hand that locks the world.
Women, how divine yo1r mission
Here upon Or natal sod
Keep, o keep the young soll open
Always to the breath of God
All rue trophies of the ages
re from Mother Love upearled;
For tho haud that ockJ the CT adle
Is the hand th2t rocks ihe world.
Darling gi;'s, with Eden's music,
Ringing yet in each young hea t,
Les'n aud treasure household knowledge
Precious is 'fe's future part
When you'll, too, exultipg mothers
Bravelv boyed and gertly g. led,
Feel the hand That ROCKS ne cradle
Is the hand that rocks the wolld.
Blessings on the hand of Woman!
Fathers, sons and daughters g.,
And The sacred song is mingled
With the worship in the sky.
Mingled where no tempest darkens
Rainbows eve. more are cr~led;
For the hand that rocts the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.

DPTHERIA.-This terrible scourage
still rage in different parts of Maine.
A lady who has just recovered from a
severe attack, recently informed the
Maine Farmer, that she found great
relief by putting cayenne peper in the
sharpest vinegar, and dropping in five
Goals and inbailing the steam from a
teapot. 1t gave her strength to throw
up the detached membrane, besides
affording great relief in breathing.
She thought she never could have raj
lied without this simple application.

A Brave Boy.

a. few years ago, a lad who was left
without father and mother went to
Nsw s aSMtS Mtn ii a?rr sa6e aad s"affa s sIfaSd b51 b
until he could command a higher po
sition but this boy had been in bad
company, and had got into the habit
of calling for "bitters" and cheap ci-
gars.
On looking over the paper he motto,
ed that merchant in Pearl street
wanted a lad of his age, and he call
ed there and made his business
known.
"Walk into my office, my lad
said the merchant, "I'll attend to you
soon.'
When he had waited upon his Gus
toner he took a seat near the lad, and
espied cigar in his hat This was
enough. "My boy," said he, 81 want
smart, honest faithful lad, but you
see smoke cigars, and in my expert
ence Of many years have found ci-
gar smoking lads to be connected
with various other evil habits, and if
| am not mistaken you are not an e.
ception. You can leave; you will
not suit me"
John held down his head and left
the store and as he walked along the
street, stranger and friendless, the
counsel of his poor mother came for
cibly to mind, who upon her death
bed, called him to her side and plac-
ing her emaciated hand upon his
head, said, "Johny, my dear doy, I'm
going to leave you. You well know
what disgrace and misery your father
brought upon us before his death, and
I want you to promise me, before I
die that you will never taste one drop
Of the accursed poison that killed your
father nor tobacco. Promise me this,
and be good boy, Johny, and shall
die in peace"
The scalding tears trickled down
Johny's cheek. He went to his lodg-
ings, and throwing himself upon his
bed gave vent to his feelings in sobs
that were heard all over the house.
But John had moral courage, He
had energy and determination, and ere
an hour had passed had made up his
mind never to taste another drop of
liquor, nor to smoke another cigar.
He went straight back to the mer-
chant. Said he, Sir, you very prop
erly sent me away this morning for
habits that I have been guilty of; but
sir, I have neither father nor mother,
and though l have occasionally done
what l ought not to do, and have not
followed the advice of my poor moth
er on her death bed, yet l have now
made a solemn VOW never to drink
another drop of liquor, nor smoke an
other cigar and ifyou will only try
me, it is all I ask"
The merchant was struck with

FRED RAYMOND.
BY GEO W. g. - ON.

eyes, that is just the way Tilly
why will you try to thwart me in this
one great aim of my lite l have told
you, time and again that will have
Edith Weld, for my bride before an
other year has passed. You know in
what circumstances am placed you
know that must have money. Edith
is wealthy, fer she is the only heir of
that doting old father who has one foot
IN the grave already. L know she
does not love me, but what do I care
she will make good wife to attend
to my household affairs, and that is all
| ask. Yes, Tilly, she shall be mine. y
eff you can get her! !"
"But l aOiN IF not by fair
means, then by foul. She shall be
mine, money and al"
Oh Fred, how can you have such
a passion for money, to feed your mad
thirst for gambling and all its kindred
evils, and care so little for such dear
woman as is Edith Weld? You had
a healo once, pure and good as the
best of them. Try, for your sisters
sake, for the love you once bore our
dear father and mother, whom,-I
must say it, Fred you brought to an
untimely grave-retrace your steps,
recall your mad words before it is to
late. You know you can never hope
to gain Ediths love, for she is already
the afianced bride of Charlie Will
mot, who is much better suited to her
than you can be, who only cares to
win her to gain her money to squan.
der in your well known licentlous
ways. Give heed to this last appeal
from one who has always loved you,
for the memory Of those days when
we prattled so merrily at our dear
mothers knee, those happy innocent
days of childhood, for the sake OF
these, desist from this under taking
which Can bring you nothing but
evil Do this and | Will always bless
you. Edith will even hold you in
friendly regard, and you can go forth
into the world without this great
wrong weighing you down. For my
sake, Fred, desist !"
"Have you really done with your
lecture, Tilly ? You know 1 have nev-
er mentioned this subject but you
must go on with this same long rig
marole Of stuff, yes, that's just the
name for it, stuff, and now l have
heard enough of it. Will you, or will
you not help me in my suit for the
hand of Edith Weld ?"
"Fred, if | thought there was the
faintest hope of your winning Edith
for your wife, and that you would
love and cherish her as she deserves,
and as you ought, then | would aid
you. But knowing as l do that you
only seek her from the basest of base
motives | can not give my counten-
ance or aid"

More About Girls.

Girls are often wild, and wayward
and hard to govern. They give their
anxious mothers and fond fathers
many serious hours of thought and
care. They principally delight in hav-
ing their own way. They are i'm
patient under home restraints, and
they frequently fancy that they know
a great deal more than their mothers
do. They giggle and act very foolish
sometimes-when anything happens
to please them. They pout and make
up races when they feel cross and un-
comfortable, Or when any one is un-
fortunate enough to incur their youth
full displeasures and they resort to
tears and find a great deal of comfort
In good cry when the world does
not move upon its axis exactly in con-
formity with their wishes.
They are very romantic with regard
to their expectations of the future.
They have an uncotrollab,e passion
for cheap, sensational literature, and
the usually entertain about as unreal
and exaggerated ideas of life as they
find pictured and described in the
startling narratives which they are
in the habit of reading They look
forward to find themselves in t he
same impossible situations as the
imaginary heroines, whose chequered
career they follow with such thrilling
interest, anxiety and enthusiasm.
They condescend sometimes to flatter
and fill with the tender-hearted and
confding youths Of their acquaintance
who, at an early age, are so unfortu
nate as to feel that
lue rosy DOy WIFI CueruD wing
Has many shaft for his slender slng!'
The girls, somehow, seem to delight
in tormenting and teasing such boys,
compassion for what these tender
youths suffer and endure by reason of
hopelessly loving them,
Girls sometimes make old and gray
headed men say and do great many
foolish and undignlfed things. Such
instances are not uncommon. And
who can fancy more ridiculous pic
ture than that of an old man, with
hair and whiskers freshly and ingenu-
ously dyed, vainly endeavoring to con-
ceal the fact that he has the rheumat-
tism, frisking around like young colt
in a green pasture, in futile endeavors
to pursuade some young girl Of sweet
sixteen that he is as young as ever he
was!
Girls are very communicative with
each other. They are in the habit of
talking over, between themselves, all
their joys and sorrows -enjoining upon
each other the most solemn obligations
never to tell what they hear to any
bo1y else How we'll they obey these
mutual injunctions is evident from
their subsequent course of conduct. If
you would SOW secret broadcast
over the land, tell it to young girl,
and make her promise to religiously
keep it.
A girl becomes complete girl only
when she does up her hair in mature
fashion and gets her first long dress
on. Then she sails out into the beau
monde with great many lofty and
airs, and tancies that she
is full fledegd woman.
But, with all their failings and
shortcomings, girls are lovely, lively
and interesting institution. The world
we live in is a great deal brighter,
better and more beautiful for their
being in it. When grown toperfect ma
turity they make our best and loveliest
women; and a noble woman is Gods
greatest and grandest earthly creation!

Encourage Your ChiIdrcn.

Encouragement works wonders with al
most anybody, no matter what his occu-
patton in life may be. 4 boy likes 70 be
encouraged; SO does a girl; a man likes

grandfather and grandmother have q relish

Some parents often make a mistake in
not giving their children credit when they
do q thing Wen and some uuiutcutoual-
~ let lesson that has been studied very
hard, or piece ct work that has been
well done, by boy or girl, pass by with
ont the least notice. This diScouragcs a
child, and has bad effect otherwise.
Encouragement puts new life in a child,
especially II it be bestowed 10y parent
Yet there are people, who, though anxious
TO have their children DO well, are con.
tiuually, and in a diSpjriting way, telling
them that they shouldn't do 50 aud So,
and that 10 Is wrong, etc, without ever
having q little friendly talk with them,
and giving them good advice, aud en-
Couragjug them when they do right
some parVutS also make mistake In
leaving the education OF their children
wholly to the schools. They think if they
send their children TO school, and pay
their way, that tbcy-thc parcutS-arc

should 40 theirs. This may work well
with good boys, but with the careless, the

The Money Value OF an Immigrant.

\ statement of the total immigration,
from the earliest records of our national
history, including the fiscal year 1873, en-
ding June S0th, makes the grand aggrc-
gate Of about S,75O,SOO. An analysis of
our population shows that nearly fifteen
per cent. of it Is made up of actual immi-
grants, and that twenty-five per cent Is
OF uumiVed foreign population. In adj
ditjOn to the enormous increase OF so
dietary movement, the direct contribution
to the national wealth, in the form of ac-
tive capital brought by the immigrants to
this country, Is an important considera-
ton. Reckoning each immigrant to be
worth $500 to the country, We have the
enormous sum Of $1,000, 100000 added
to the national wealth since immigration
commenced, and probably fye-sixths Of
this sum have been added since 1920, and
constituting nearly oue-third Of the an
nual productions of the several years.
Since 1870 the wealth added TO the coun-
try annually BY this new civilizing ele-
ment has been about IS, 1000, 900 900, and.
at the rate of immigration for the wear
ending June 80, 1873, the grand total for
the decades would be about Sl9,647, 494.-
200 The States increasing in wealth
most rapidly have been those which have
secured the largest number of immigrants.
All the Western States, especially, owe
much Of their progress and prosperity TO
the elements from abroad.-4pDletoH'S
