And Charles Aubrey never forgot his
promise. With this noble companion by
his side he Travelled up the hill. and in his

fragrant.
Upon the wall of his sitting-room hangs
Il picture. It is Il splendid painting of the
Prodigal Sons Return. Upon the face of

The Hand That Rocks the World.

blessings on the hand of woman!
Angels guard her strength and grace,
In the cottage; palace, howell
Oh, n" matter where The place!
Would ihat never storms a-sailed il:
Rainbows ever gently curled;
For the hand hat rocks the cradle
L. the hand thar rocks the world
lniancy'S the tender fountain;
Power may with beauty flow:
Mothers frs, to guide the s,rca,nle',
Ftom hem souls unresting grow
Grow on for HE good or evil.
sunshine strcamed DER darkness hurled;
For the hand HAT rocks the cradle
Is .hc hand that rocks the world
Woman, how divine your mission
Here upon our natal sod,
Keep, oh keep the Young heart open
Always 10 the br cath of God.
All true trophies of the Ages
Are ilHn Mother Love impcarled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that ROCKS the world.
Blessings on The hand of woman!
Fathers, sons and sfs a2htcrs cry,
And the sacred song is mingled
With the worship in 'he sky
Minglcs where no tempest darkens,
Raipbows evermore are curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world

EARLY LIFE OF SECRETARY MCCRARY.-
According to the Osceoia Ne,o Era, part
of Mr.. McCrary's early history remains to
be told: "When he was getting common
school education, he, one winter, went to
school at Bentonsport, Van Buren, county,
and at night slept on cot in the store Of
Estes s. Thomas, at Vernon, on the south
side of Des Moines river, just opposite to
Bentonport, which was mutual accommo,
dation-he to guard the store at night, build
fires and sweep out the store OF mornings,
for the poor privilege OF sleeping on rude
cot Of nights. This is what few young men
would have done, yet he has risen to dis
tinction and honor, while some others, with
every favorable opportunity offered them,
have sunk below common humanity"
