Would Not. If I Could.

would no. did my past
Up from its grave of weakness and regret;
Up from its hores-which glimmered but to set
Its dreams, that could not last
Yet can look before,
And profit by the lessons sadly learned;
As children, playing with the fire, arc burned,
And tempt its glow no more
would not, ifI could,
Live O. 'er again this darE, uncertain lie
This slipping backward in the daily strife
OF Preaching after good.
Yet can know how weak
Are all below, and so sweet charity
Will cling and grow about each form see,
And thus to me will speak.
Iwould not open out
The half.hcaled wounds of other years, long fed
'Twere better they were numbered with the deao
Better than fear or doubt.
Yet can truly say,
Let the dead past bury its dead We go
SO swiftly onward TO liie's sunset glow
And then, there is no day!
Life is too short to waste
In vain repinings or in weak regrets;
The stronge # heart endures and never frets
O'er joys it may not taste.
And he who can go on
Bravely and firmly in The allotted way,
Gaining new strength with every darkened ray
Shall surely reach the dawn.
And so would not lift
Up from the grave the shadows of my past;
The clouds that all my sky once overcast
Into the night may drift.
For there's enough to I'LL
Each hour and moment Of the days TO come;
Then wherefore WOO The shadows TO our home?
I The valleys to our hill?

Concerning Marriage

Girls talk all alike about marriage, rs
though it were a jubilee, gladstone thing,
a rose without thorn; and so it is, If all
is right, if they go about it as rational be-
ings, instead OF merry making children.
1t is serious thing to marry. 1t is lite
business. Therefore never do it in haste
never run away to get married; never
marry for wealth. or standing, or fine per-
son and manners, nor for both, tor the
qualities of the mind and heart that make
an honorable man. Take time, think long
and well before you accept any proposal
consult your parents, then some judicious
friend, then your own judgment. Learr
all that is possible for you to learn of you'
proposed husband. When all doubts have
been removed fl ON your mind, and not til
then, accept him.

Rules to be Observed ON the Street.



The custom is now everywhere preva-
lent for pedestrians to take the right side
of the walk The practice avoids much
confusion. particularly on much frequented
walks. The rule has been so thoroughly
established that any person found violat-
ing it is set down as an ignoramus. Peo-
pie now take the right side as regularly in
walking as they do when driving on the
road. This Icing so, common sense sug-
gests that ladies should always walk at the
right side Of gentlemen when going in
couples. If they do that, ladies will never
be jostled when meeting other persons
the gentleman being thus always ON the
side Of contact with people cominS from
the opposite direction.
Gentlemen should abandon tho habit.
when promenading with ladies'. of walking
half around them at every turn of the cor
ner. The old custom of giving the ladies'
the inside of the walk, when. walking with
them, has no redeenllg feature, The
lady's comfort and protection is bes. iA-
sGred by her walking ut the right size Of
the gentleman at all times.

Take More Care of the Mind.

If persons Of both sexes would pay
more attention to the care of the mind,
our lunatic asylums would be less full
than they now are. and the health of the
body would be much better preserved tor
as Schiller says, mental pleasure is gener-
ally attended by animal pleasure, mental
pain by animal pain. 1t is too much the
custom for people to live in one narrow
groove of thought and action. They con-
sequently have no interest in matters out
side. and having but one support to lean
on they become utterly demoralized when
it fails them. A change of occupation is
as desirable and beneficial for the mind rs
walking is exercise for the body.
An Interesting Note from Mr. Bryant.
Harpers weekly
In Mr.. Bryant's poem 1.-The Flood o:
Years." which was first published two o.
three years since, are these words:
So they pass
| From stage to stage along The shining course
| OF that fair river, broadening like sea,
As its smooth eddies curl along their way,
| They bring old friends together; hands are
clasped
| In joy unspeakable; the mothers arms
| Again are folded round the child she bvsr
And lost. Old sorrows are forgotten now,
| Or but remembered to make. sw eet the hour
| That overpays them; wounded hearts that bled
| Or broke. are heelsd forever
| A gentleman who had been sOrely be-
reaved was so struck by the unquestiolire
faith in Immortality here expressed that he
wrote to Mr.. Bryant, asking if the lines
were to be understood as statement of
his own belief. Mr.. Bryant instantly re-
piled in the following EOte, which has not
been published before, and which has
peculiar interest at this time:
"CUMssSNGTON, Mass, Aug. 10, 1876.
Dear Sir-Certainly believe all that is
said in the lines which you have quoted
Ls had 1ot could not have written them.
l believe in the everlasting life of the soul
and it seems that Immortality would be
but an imperfect gift without the recogni-
ton in the life to come of those who are

De La Matyr, National Congressman elect,
who has just returned from an Eastern cam
paign, IN an interview published here to-day
gave it as his opinion that the Nationals will
hold the balance of power in the next Con-
gress and in that event they should stand to-
gelher, WELD their power as unit, and de-
mand an incorporating greenback man
for speaker and a fair proportion of the APP
polntment and patronage of the House for
the National party. He also recommends q
similar policy in the Legislature of Indiana
Vaudeville, Nov. 15.-Marigny, candi-
date for criminal sheriff, has notified Fitz-
patrick, the Democrat elect, that he will to-
morrow enter suit for contest. j. Ralce
GouthreauS, Democratic civil sheriff elect,
has also been notified to similar effect by
Pheasants. Ihree of the citizens candidates
for city administrators have filed suits of
contest. Each petition is signed by the
names OF 100 leading citizens.
NORFOLK, Nov. 15.-The report that Yeates,
Democrat. is elected by six majority from
the First North Carolina district is unfound-
ed. Returns as made by the canvassers of
the several counties show majority OF
81 for Martin, Republican, and this result
was obtained after the canyassers had thrown
out AS votes cast for Martin as irregular.
