The Golden Milestone.

Leafless are the trees; their purple branches
Spread themselves abroad, like reefs OF coral.
Rising silent
In the He'd Sea OF the winter sunset
From the hundred chlmneys Of the village,
Like the Afreet in the Arabian story,
Smoky columns
Tower aloft into the air OF amber.
At the window winks the fiekering ire-light
Here and there the lamps of evening glimmer
Answering one another through the darkness
on the beach the lighted logs are glowing,
And like Ariel I'm the cloven pine-tree
For its freedom
Groans and signs the air imprisoned in them.
BY the flreside the old men seated,
Seeing ruined cities I'm the ashes,
Asking sadly
OF the Past what It can ne'er restore them.
BY the fireside there are youthful dreamers,
Building castles fair. with stately stairways,
Asking blindly
OF the future what II cannot give them.
By the freside tragedies are acted,
In whose scenes appear two actors only,
Wife and husband,
And above them God the sole spectator.
BY the lreside there are peace and comfort,
Wives and children, with fair, thoughtful faces,
Waiting, watching
For well known footstep in the passage.
Each mans chimney is his Golden Milestone
Is the central point, from which he measures
Every distance
Through the gateways of the world around him.
In his farthest wanderings still he sees Il;
Hears the talking flame, the answering night
wind,
As he heard them
When he sat with those who were, but are not.
Happy he whom neither wealth nor fashion,
Nor the march of the encroaching city,
Drives an exile
From the hearth Of his ancestral homestead.
We may build more splendid habitations,
FIJI our rooms with paintings, and with sculp-
lures,
But we cannot
Buy with gold the old associationsi

The scope OF this work concerns Agricultural
Machinery, Wood, Metal. Glass, Stone, Clay,
Cement, and Leather Working; Mining, Hy-
draulic, Railway, Marine, and Military Engi-
neering; Working in Cotton, Wood, SILK, Flax,

gines, and other Motors; Lighting, Heating,
Drying, and Ventilating; Fine Arts; Photo
graphic, Electric, Telegraphic, Optical, Horo-
logical, Calculating Surgical, and Dental In
struments, etc.
Its value, even IL there were in print others of
a similar nature, would be very great on ac-
count of its scope, its great number OF illustra-
tions, and the trustworthiness of its author (;
but at present its value is enhanced by the fact
that 1t has, properly speaking, no competition.
There Is published no book OF similar intent
which is at so large, so well illustrated. so
closely brought down to the present time, and
so full Of illustrations. Dentists, surgeons,
philosophers, chemists, engineers, mechanics,
and scientific men and students of every grade,
win find here described and illustrated more of
the instruments and machines peculiar to their
professions than can be found in well-furnished
stores and manufactures; and they will also
find constant supplementary course of in
struction so arranged as to be available for in
slant reference. The work consists OF three
handsome octave volumes, and will be found
an invaluable book of reference in the family,
the counting-room, and the workshop. No
better educational work could be placed before
children, adapted as 1t IL to awaken a latent
taste which may have an important bearing
on their life career.
The work is sold by subscription and persons
desiring to purchase IL should address the Pub
fishers as below. Agents wanted. Send for

Mrs. Ellen Mccarthy called upon Justice
Chopper yesterday afternoon and desired
to commence legal proceedings to recover
young child from her husband, John
Mccarthy. She and John had agreed to
disgree and john had in his possession an
infant which required the care of a mother
aud which she was legally and morally en-
titled to have. The justice patiently heard
her story through and advised her to pro-
coed slowly aud cautiously; to get advice
and come again the following day. She
withdrew and wendell her way to the
house OF one Doyle, in whose charge John
had left the baby and demanded possession
of the child, giving weight to her argument
of right of possession by Furnishing a
wicked looking old pistol. Doyle and bis
family succeeded in quieting and inducing
her to leave their house when they at
once notified the police. She returned in
a short time and was arrested and taken
before Justice Chopper and held for trial
at o'clock this .P. NJ, at which time she
appeared and plead guilty to 20 charge Of
carrying concealed weapons and was fined

How Gould They Examine TIP

nothing in it inconsistent with church rules

The ARGUS has as much respect for
one church as another and believes good
Catholics live up to church rules as
carefully as any other class of people;
and it is to this class we direct the follow

Do you believe they would fully approve
lit?
Do you believe there is nothing in it in
consistent with church rules?

How could they fully approve,of it with
