WAIT MY LITTLE ONE.
Wait my little one, waitl
When you get 10 the beautiful land;
Tarry little, my darling,
Ere you Join the heavenly band.

Paint bright pictures before your eyes,
When we wake up to weep. ets

When you reach the celestial strand,
For thy mother may he toiling mp
To the heights Of the better land.
For the years that fall like molten lead,
On the hearts this side Of the sea,

My little babe, DER thee.
MISPLACED FEAR.-Ail languages
have a literature Of terrier about death.
But living is far more terrible In reality
than dying. 1t is life that foments pride,
that inhames vanity, that excites the
passions, that feeds the appetites, that
POUNDS and builds habits, that establishes
character, and, binding up the separate
straws Of action into one sheaf, hands it
into the future, saying, As you reap, 20
shall ye SOW !" Yet life, which Is the
mischief maker, is not at all feared.
Death, that does no harm, and Is only
the revealer of life's work, is feared.
A PECULIAR BUSINESS SYsTEM.-A
day or 10 ago the attorneys propped
Daniel Drew up in bed. and put him
through course OF interrogatories and
oss-interroea eatories relative to his petit
tion in bankruptcy. His answers, faint,
almost inaudible, and given while great
tears rolled down his cheeks, reveal the
most singular business system, or lack OF
system, recorded OF any man who has
dealt in millions In his transactions
with his brokers he always trusted 10
their honesty, and never troubled himself
to lock over their statements OF account.
He left collateraIs with the brokers, but
doesn't know what became Of them. A
check-book he never had any use for.
Book keeper or clerk he never employed,
nor even had an Office of his own. Or
the several millions he once had he never
kept any account, but thinks he could
tell from memory where some Of IL went;
he carried such trifling matters in his
head.
MOTHERS, let every daughter that is
borne to you be given equal opportuni.
ties with your boys Let her physical
education be attended to with the rest;
let all her powers be strengthened alike;
let her learn trade, or study profess
sion to fit her for the battle Of life and
if marriage does not come to her, let her
know and feel that she is an independent
woman, free TO take her place in the
proud ranks of those who use hands and
brain for support. She will not spend
her davs in fdleness, nor viii ber mind
be filed with thoughts of dress, but with
perfect health, which will be hers, when
she is taught its supreme Importance,
and the means for its preservation, and
with her time fully occupied, she will be
strong and well balanced, and assuredly
none the less fitted to be wife and the
happy mother of immortal souls. Then
too, when our women are thus trained
our papers will not Ike disgraced with such
advertisements as this:
A lady of refinement and education
desires the friendship Of a gentleman OF
