him there has come rest ~ the eventide.
All day the patient mother may toil
for her little ones, sympathixing with
them in their childish sorrows, calming
their fears and soothing their pains, until
she is worn out soul and body; but As
night approaches sleep touches their eye
lids with its magic wand-and for weary
mother and tired child there has come
the rest at eventide. And for Us oil there
will come rest ut eventide, it matters not
what our occupation may be, nor where
our footsteps roam. Lite with Its
pitiful joys and bitter experiences, its
feverish dreams and empty ambitions, its
hopes and fears, its loves and hates, will
be ended after awhile. As we grow older
our trust diminishes, as one by one our
friends fail US and our expectations are
cut of, the apples of Hesperides turn to
dead sea fruit within our grasp, and the
idols, we all, at times, so wildly worship,
lie shattered at our feet. Oh, the follies
and vanities of life; the lessons we have
to learn and unlearn; no wonder we grow
weary, many of US, long before the end of
the journey is reached. But all we can
do is to possess our souls in patience, and
press forward for the mark of the prize.

From the N. Y. Daily Bulletin.

FROM the N. 4 Dally Du4leLlu
1t is matter Of profound regret that
the secretary OF the treasury in his Mans
field speech should, at a time like this,
have gone to Tompkins square for material
to enable him to deal with what is come to
be called the labor question
The secretary has no other panacea for
the existing controversy-if it may be
called a controversy-between labor and
capital than the old, worn out quack pre-
scription which has come over TO US from
monarehies of Europe, and which Justus
SehWab and other protessed followers Of
the communistic school are peddling here
in New York. France. under the second
empire, gave Louis Napoleon pretext for
shat prescription. 1t had fair trial
there, but it did not last long. We all
know what came Of it. 1t is not Tor the
benefit of the laboring man that any such
experiments should be entered upon in
this country.
The industrious American is not a beg
gar for favors at the hands of government.
He needs none of its paternal fostering.
He can take care OF himself if government
will take its tax-levying hand off him. He
| wants no government labor bureau, no
meddlng national board of arbitration tn
keep up an eternal ''irrepresslble conflict
between different classes of the same peo-
pie; and he knows full we'll that if govern.
ment again goes into railroad management
a REPETITION of the Credit Mobilier robberies
and extrayagances will be in order, and
that these robberies and extravagances
will but add to the public burdens, which
the industrial classes have in due proper

A VALUABLE MEDICINE. -Buchu 10
various forms has for many years been one
Of the chief articles in the Mdteraa Medico

among which are chiefly those affecting
the urinary, digestive. and circulatory or.

.penenced in obtaining preparation OF

Helmbold's Extract of Buchu, which for
the last quarter of a century has been ex-
tensively used both by physicians and in
house and family practice, and with very
gratifying success. This medicine, like
every other valuable thing, has been imi

ALOek of Hair.

Almost every one has had at least
one lock of hair cut from the head
of one now dwelling in that silent
land whence came no messages, no
letters, no tokens of any kind to tell
of love and remembrance. Every
one knows that strange emotion,
half joy half woe, with which the
tiny relic of so much that was once
dear can thrill the soul. Only now
and then do we dare to take it from
its hiding place, hold it in the palm,
press it to the cheek, and use it as
a talisman to recall all that we must
perforce forget in the work-a-day
world for the sake Of strength to do
its battle.
We do not know whose hair that
which you treasure may be-whether
the fiossy curl from a baby's head,
the dark lock from the brow that
once made your pillow, parents
gray tress. or young lovers sunny
curl. Nor does it matter, for all
love in its essence, in that part of it
that outlives death, is alike and
equally pure but we know that there
is nothing like it to you anywhere.
There are no words for the thoughts
it brings. They mock language. As
you touch it, and gaze at it, you
have nothing to say. You feel the
thorns of your dead rose, that is
all, and the wounds they make
bleed.
There are old superstitions about
locks of hair. 1t was not well for
lovers to exchange them, it is said !;
and sorcerers alwas require lock of
hair before working spells for or
against man or woman. In Sweden
and Norway one who lets a little bird
get a hair of his head for her nest,
dies before the young birds fly, un-
less old gossips are mistaken. Even
about the hair of the living lies some
romance; but the hair of the dead

"Well, isn't this the. other side ?"

"Why, 1 declare" said poor
