there are machines for doing every des-
cription of wood work. The place was

forward, urged by the ceaseless strokes ol

ages of agony-and Alice Morton, with
closped hands, fell on her knees, still

CALLED BY THE ANGELS.

The farmers wife is sitting alone
In the dusk of a winters day,
While over the hills the shadows fall,
And over the meadows gray,
And the cares OF many busy hour
Steal fast from her heart away.
Her eyes have wandered through mist Of tears
To the church.yard under the hill,
Where the snow, like the wings of broodIns dove
Lies soft md pure and still.
And where her treasures, so long ago,
She laid at the Masters will.
And ahi how oft, as the days go by,
She starts, as her listening ear
Has almost caught, on the passing breeze,
Voices so sweet and clear.
"'ris the angels Calling" she thinks. "Ah me
II is weary waiting here"
The farmer comes from his work, at last
In the dark OF a winters day,
Andhe sits him down by his faithful wife,
And she parts his locks so gray,
And looks in his face with loving smile
That years steal never away
And back again, as her dim eyes turn
To the hills where the shadows fall,
She thinks, my treasures are lying there.
But lie has not taken them all,
Since one is waiting beside me still
Till the angels voices call"
But the weeks are slow, and the aged two,
In the dark of many day,
Will watch the shadows come and go
Der the meadows cold and gray,
Ere they, Ntthe Masters will, may lie
Where there treasures are laid away.

Elsie was forgetting, as she longed to

thyself on your bridal day; but she hesi-
tated and longed, and wondered if punish
ment would really follow if she looked.
1t cannot make any difference, she thought

BLUE GLASS ON THE PACIFIC SLOPE
Blue glass is doing lis perfect work on the
Pacific slope. A correspondent of the San
Francisco Chronicle, who had suffered
from chronic rheumatism for many years,
placed blue glass in the windows of his
bathroom and filled the tub with water.
He was suddenly called out of town on
urgent business and did not return for
several days. When he opened the door
of the bathroom he was impressed with
the efficacy of blue glass. These are his
own words: 81 found the room filled
with nasty, Shiny reptiles somewhat re-
semblng shrimps, but very much larger
in fact, a great many of them would
weigh q pound. After l had recovered
from my fright l called my wife and de-
manded an explanation. Where did these
things come from, and why have they been
placed in this room? She looked into the
room, screamed, and tainted. l carried
her to bed and called for the camphor bot
tie, and after she had sufficiently recover
ed her senses, she cried out, 'Oh, these
are the nasty things that are in the water;
these are the cylops.' Under the influence
of blue glass the microscopic creatures had
developed into such enormous proportions
that they had crowded themselves out of
the bath-tub until they lay on the floor ut
least two feet deep"
The following suggestive anecdote is
from a London paper: AT n Washing
ton tea party, where General Butler was
recently guest, the hostess, glancing
over the table, perceived his cup unfur-
nished with an important implement of
which he was supposed to appreciate the
value. Why, General Butler she ex-
claimed, in a little womanly flutter of con-
stornation, haven't you spoonP No,
indeed madamn quickly responded the
general, springing from his seat and slap
ping his pockets one after the other, upon
my word, madam; if you don't believe me
madam, you may search mep The APP
plause which greeted this spontaneous sally
may be more easily imagined than de-
scribed."
Lavender was aroused in the middle of
the night by his wife, who complained that
she heard a noise. "What does it sound
likeP asked he. ut sounds like some
thing ticking" said she." Its probably
the bed-ticking," he murmured, and went
off to sleep again.

PRETTY OR EoT-To be pretty is the
great object of almost every living woman,
even those who lecture upon the impropri-
ETY. of doing so. Beautiful women spend
Il great deal of thought upon their own
charms, and homely women grow homely
fretting because they are not handsome.
Men, at least while they are young, arc
very like women in this respect, though
they hide their feelings better
There is one comfort for the homely one,
however. After you come to know peo-
pie very intimately, you do not know
whether they arc pretty or not. Their
"ways make an impression on you; but
not their noses and ears, their eyes and
mouths. In time, the soul expresses itself
to you, and it is that which you see.
A man who has been married twenty
years scarcely knows what his wife looks
like. lie may declare that he does, and
tell you that she is bewitching little
blonde, with soft blue eyes, long after she
is red, and fat, and forty; because the i'm
age of his early love is in his heart, and
he doesn't see her us she is to day, but as
she was when he courted her. Or being
an indifferent husband, he may not know
that she is the fine women that other peo-
pie think her. You have known men who
have married the plainest women, and
think them beauties; and you know beau-
ties who are quite thrown away on men
who value wife for her success as a cook.
As far us ones effect on strangers is to
be taken into consideration, beauty is val
uabe and very valuable. So, if you have
it, rejoice; but if you have it not, be con-
tent. Take care of your heart, your soul,
your mind and your manners, and you
will make for yourself that beauty which
will render you lovely TO those who are
nearest and dearest to you.-Les'ie's La-
dies Journal

PRESIDENT UAYES.--An exchange says,
1t is, or ought to be, something to know
that when Gen. Hayes entered the " hitt
House he transferred to it a Christian fami
ly of which he is the consistent and OK
cmplary head. His wife is woman full
of charity and good works, whose hand is
daily blessed by the poor of the city, She
is foremost in acts of benevolence in /;
quiet and undemonstrative way. Hel
children are beautiful and intelligent. Tho
pride of Hayes life is that good woman
and the four darling children. He is +
home man; he is always at home at night
You never see hint was always hi:
habit-away from his own freside Al
night. He loves home. Around it clus
ter all that is beautiful and ndattractive to him
and he loves it. He never drank, smoked
swore, Or played cards; never attended
loose political clubs or spent his evenings
in brawling hotel crowds of politicians
He hates all such things, and avoids them
as he would pestilence. He has no SO.
crets, no explanations 10 make, no plots
plans, or tricks, but the sun shines all
through his daily thought, act, and speech
and shows no single blemish. Full Of
good sense, good talker, yet mild, kind
conservative, making no enemies, making
all whom he meets his friends, candid
kind, affable, open and sincere, with the
same voice to all, the same face for all
honest, plain, blunt and deferental, good
listener, knowing well when TO speak, and
having full control of his feelings and hi:
lips, you may search the wide world over
and not find one wiser, better, or moro be
loved than Hayes.

SUBMIssIoN.-There comes terrible
moment to many souls when the great
movements of the world, the larger des.
TIMES of mankind, which have lain alooI
in newspapers and other neglected read
ing, enter like an earthquake into their
own lives; when the slow urgency oi
growing generations turns into the tread
of IN invading army or the dire clash oil
civil war, and the gray fathers know
nothing to seek for but the corpses ol
their blooming sons, and girls forget all
vanity, to make lint and bandages which
may serve for the shattered limbs of theil
betrothed husbands. Then it is as if the
invisible Power that has been the object
of lip worship and lip resignation becomes
visible, according to the imagery of the
Hebrew poet, making the flames his char
lot and riding on the wings of the wind
till the mountains smoke and the plains
shudder under the rolling, fiery visitation
Often the good cause seems TO lie pros
trate under the unrelenting force; th'
martyrs lived reviled, they die, and NJ
angel is seen holding forth the crown anC
palm branch. Then it is that the submis
sion of the soul to the Highest is tested
and even in the eyes Of frivolity, lif
looks out from the scene of human strug
gle with the awful face of duty, and /
religion shows itself which is somethin!
else than a private consolation. Il Georg

The cat is a hardy perennial that bears

outhouses, mulch them by moonlight, har-
row the ground very lightly with boot

certain that they will yield twenty, thirty

ZEN PICTURE OF THE PRESIDENT AND
Mis-. HAYES.-Mr. Hayes picture gives
you no idea of the man himself. whose
dominant expression us he appears is that
of manIiness. This impression is con.
veyed not more by his face than his entire
presence. His figure, his carriage, the
movement and shape of his head, quite AS
much as the force of his features, indicates
man OF more than ordinary power and
will in the full summer tide of his flcul-
ties. | expected to see a fair, well enough
looking man, but had heard him so often
spoken of as II Moses-like individual who
was to be as soft as putty in the fingers of
the republican makers, | was slightly as
tonished to see this tall, portly, powerful
looking man, his head erect, his unsub-
jugated nose arising straight before him
well fed, well bred, with a particularly
clean look, us if he took shower bath
every morning. Well, he made most of the
men about him look rather poor. The only
man visible, who looked as manly, with
out looking as handsome, was Sir Edward
Thornton, buttoncd tightly in his fine
gold d'laccd coat. Whatever else may be
discovered about the new president, |
think the gentlemen who expected to
mould him and his policy will very soon
find out Gf they have not already that he
has mind of his own, and knows how to
use it. Per example, Carl Schurz in his
cabinet. What a bitter pill is that for the
old senatorial foes of that luminous Teuton
to swallow.
Then there was Mrs Hayes in the gale-
ry opposite, with her two children, who
were hanging over the gallery and acting
us children usually do when their elders
wish them to appear to advantage. She
parted them Mt last, and sat between them
the true mother, and then | contemplated
the fair countenance of the newly exalted
lady. 1t is singularly gentle and winning.
1t looks out from the smooth bands of
dark hair with that look of sweet woman
illness in the eyes that the world has come
to call Madonna, and the pure head looks
strangely not at home under the pyramid
of millinery that Cincinnati has set upon
it in the shape of a bonnet. No, she is
not woman of the world, as we accent
the term, she instinctively sErinks from
low necked dresses, round dances and
much that the danes of " the polite world "
wear with the ease of their old shoes. Her
simple faiths, her old-tmc tenderness,
John Wesley's discipline, she brings to her
high place and lays down on the shrine
where the gay world worships. Will they
be as unsullied when she takes them back
again fonr years from now? Perhaps. If
so, she will prove herself us strong as she
is lovely, which is saying much. At any
rate, Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes are the finest
looking pair who have taken up their
abode in the White House for many day.
