II is Just as possible to keep a calm house
as a clean house, an orderly house as a fur
nished house, If the heads set themselves to
do so. Where is the difficulty Of consulting
each others weakness, as well as each 9th
er's wants 1t is by leaving the peace at
home to chance, instead Of pursuing it by Il
SYSTEM that so many homes are unhappy.
IL deserves notice, also, that any one can be-
courteous and patient in neigbbor's house
II anything goes wrong, or is out of time, OF
Is disagreeable there, IL is made the best OF ,
not the worst every effort is made to excuse
it, and to show that IL is not felt; or if felt
it is attributed to accident, not to design /;
and this is not only easy but natural in the
house OF friend We will not, therefore,
believe that what is so natural in the house
OF another is impossible at home, but main
tain without fear that all the courteses OF
social life may be upheld in domestic socie.
ties. A husband as willing to be pleased at
home, and as anxious to please, as in
neighbor's house, and wife as intent on
making things as comfortable every day to
her family as on set days to her guests
could not fail to make their own home
happy The sweetest, most clinging affec-
tion, is often shaken by the slightest breatl
of unkindness, as the delicate rings and ten
drills of the vine are agtated by the faintes
air that blows in summer. An unknd word
from one beloved often draws blood from
many heart that would defy the battle-axc
OF hatred or the keenest edge of vindictivt
satire Now, the shade, the gloom of the
lace familiar and dear, awakens pain.
These, In the elegant words of the preacher.

The human heart is hotel. Each mo.
ment brings new arrivals and records fresh
departures. The heart has front doors on
every side, aud innumerable windows
Conversation, books, pictures, music, Incl
dents, means of grace, all the five senses
these are the avenues and entrances. Guests
jostle each other at the thresholds, and
worry over ungenial comrades within. Some
of the travellers are bent on doing mischief
leaving unsettled bills. soling the chambers
soaring the walls, breaking the mirrors, de-
ranging the locks, and tumbling things into
general confusion. Some are suspiciously
quiet, some outrageously noisy, some stupid
some otiicious, and many good-for nothing
and always in the way. 1t is the owners
duty to put the house in order None but
respectable guests should be entertained al
any price. A fair autograph on the regis
ter, with title to the name, is not enough
at well regulated hotel. Superabundani
baggage, or taste for dainty food, is not
warrant for an honest patronage. If the
heart must be a hotel, let it be clean, or.
derly, wholesome and safe-uethodiSf Re.

The day ia done; beyond the distant mountains
The sunset light dies slowly In the sky
Only the pine trees break the deep night silence,
And whisper softly as the wind goes by.
No human voice breaks on the solemn stiffness;
Yet long linger on the sanded beach,
Watching the deep, dark ocean rolling onward
To lands which thought alone, not sight, can reach
have no fear Of the blue waves before me,
That strive to touch and clasp me Ms stand
DO I not know that he whose care Is DER me
Holdeth the waters In his mighty hand2
But to my spirit comes q calm, deep rapture,
The while watch this wide, unresting sea
The sense Of something pure and full aud changeless,
OF something unfulhed and yet to be.
think, perhaps, that when my feet turn slowly
Forth from the mortal ways Of ain and strife
when shall leave behind eartii's pain and pleasure,
To stand and wait upon the shore Of life
That shall stand with this nameless rapture,
And wait his bidding from the land above
Content, until he comes TO gaze in silence
Ont DER the boundltss ocean ofb love Solicited

One day, in country church, young
man in the front of the gallery had stood up
several times, and seemed, as il were, to be-
fond of exhibiting his person TO the congre-
cation. Although this is habit by no
means uncommon in such places, it seemed
to annoy the reverend gentleman, After
looking at him several times, he stopped the
thread of his discourse, and thus addressed
him; Jock, my man, sit doun moo, for I'm

A TOUCHING lNcDENT.-A A nobeman,
who died few years since, had chest all
locked up, but marked, "ro be removed first
in case of fire. When he died his friend
opened that chest, supposng, of course, that
some valuable document or deed of property,
rich jewelry or costly plate would be found
in it. But what did they find They found
the toys of his little child, who had gone be
fore him. Richer to him than the worlds
wealth, richer than his coronet, brighter than
all the jewels that sparkled on his crest.
Not his estate, not his jewels, not his equi-
page, nothing great and glorious in this
world; but the dearest objects to him were
the toys of his little child ChHdren's Friend

JEsTING,--Avoid the companion who Jest
at everything. Such people disparage, by
some ludicrous association, all objects which
are presented TO their thoughts, aud thereby
render themselves incapable of any emotion
which can either elevate or soften them.
They bring upon their moral being an iu-
fluence more whitening than the blasts of
the desert

lLL-TEMPER.-Tt is undoubtedly true that
more misery is produced among US by the
Irregularities of our tempers, than by mis-
fortune. And it happens, unfortunately,
that these Irregularities of the temper are
apt to display themselves at our fresides,
where everything ought TO be tranquil and
serene. But the truth is, we are awed by
the presence of strangers, and afraid of ap
pearing weak or ill-natured when we get oui
INTO the world, and so very heroically reserv,
all our lll-humor for our wives, children aud
servants. We are meek when we might
meet with opposition, but feel ourselves un
dauntedly bold when we are sure of no effec
tual resistance.

board of education which occurs in April
is already beginingEto attract attention
and a lively contest will undoubtedly
occur for these positions. There is no
branch of our local government that needs
reform 50 badly as does the management
of the schools-or rather the distribution
of funds for their support. The most
1agrant extravaganza has been praticed in
this department during the past few years
and especially the last year when the
taxes for the support of our schools we're
simply exorbitant, in fact more than one
half of the amount required for all other
purposes. 1t is time there was a check to
this waste of money and the end can only
be secured by electing good men who will
cot fear to do their duty irrespective of
the whims and dictates OF private cliques.

stayed until last evening, about 1850

fore he had reached the city limits he was
overtaken by two men in wagon who
took him in to ride. When near the pow

AN Iowa WoMAN's VINDICAToN, or the Auto
biography of Miss Mollie Claire Moor
Illinois. Printed for the Publisher. Entered,
according to Act of Congress, in the year 1877,
by NJ. G. Moorman, in the office of the Librarian
of Congress at Washington, d. &.
The above named book Ia copy of which
has been sent to US by the author) pur
ports to be "a story Of personal suffering
and personal wrongs, revealing to the
reader what, in exceptional cases, wife
and mother may endure, and what the
selfshness and brutality of man may per-
pehate. About one-half of the book
is taken up with the narrative of the life
of the author, which is quite readable,
presenting, Of course, the fair side for her.
The balance of the book is occupied
with letters or extracts from letters from
Hon. Sam. H, Fairall. of Iowa City, to
Mrs. Moorman, together with few letters
from Fairal to persons in this city and in
| Quincy. The story, showing how Fairall
became acquainted with Mrs. NJ, his
infatuation for her, his attempt to get
divorced from his wife in order to marry
| Mrs. M.-the shooting of Fairall, his re.
covery, and his unquenchable phrensy for
this woman is, to say the least, interesting
His friends claim that this woman destroy
ed the peace of his family and ruined him
OF course there is blame on both sides
but the impartial public Y II be likely tC
say that man like Fairall a state
senator, most powerful and eloquen
lawyer, having a family, a position, ;
state reputation, should not have beer
guilty of encouraging this woman will
such hopes as his letters hold out. What
ever may be the result Of the publication
to her, it must irretrievably ruin him il
public estimation.
The author wishes US to say that sh
will be at the Rock Island House on Fri
day next, for one day only, and will fur
nish all, who may call on her, with COPY
of her book for IS cents.
