Il Significant Reply.

IA fine example Of courteous rebuke
was the answer OF distinguished Eng
fish navy officer to a hasty friend.
The late Commodore Hollins was once
sailing with an American commodore
who used often to insult his inferior OIL
GERS, and apologize to them atterward.
After such an insult had been offered to
him. Hollins was called TO the cabin of the
commodore, who said:
Il am a man Of very passionate ma
ture, ana have treated you as | should
not have done, and now wish to apollo
gize."
Hollins replied, " I, too, am passion
ate man, but notice, commodore, that I
never get into a passion with my superi
or officers, always with those beneath

S.0eepi,sg House.

When the washing and ironing are well
out of the way, comes the sweeping. A
house TO be clean must be swept, we all
know; and it all the housekeepers in the
land could give their way of doing it,
nine out of every ten doubtless would
say, ooh, I sweep once or twice week,
and brush up little every day." Now,
it is not to tie housekeeper who has had
the broom ques ton in full consideration
that we offer these suggestions; but it is
to the many who in their hurry sieze a
vicious looking broom and give the car
pet " a good going over.". Rather rough
treatment this. It is much better econ
omy to keep nice, new broom for the
carpets; let it be hung up and kept for
that sole use. Put it entirely away, if
there is danger Of its being taken to brush
the outdoor steps or round in the kitch-
en-.
In sweeping, the dust is to be brushed
off the surface, and we think light
broom is better than a heavy one. And
in tie first place, let all the delicate orna-
inents be put away. Let the bed-if it
is bedroom--be carefully covered, and
have upholstered furniture also covered
as far as possible. Then open the win
dows,a and after scattering damp a-leaves
over the floor, sweep clean, but lightly,
using a small broom for the corners and
around the stove. Taking up the dust as
it gathered in little heaps is certainly
heater than rolling the whole mass from
one side Of the room to the other. Let
the furniture then be busted, wiping it
with a clean dusting-cloth. and many
people forget entirely when this cloth is
filled, to give it a shake at the window.
We speak of this, for, surprising as 1t
may seem, VIC have seen people fairly
rub chintz furniture covers and stuffed
furniture with busting cloths that were
simply filled with dirt.
| When a room has been thoroughly
swept, busted, and the little ornaments
returned to their places, one feels that il
is clean and delightful to contemplate
but if this is the sitting room or the din.

question is, Would it not be better to use
the crumb-cloth under the dining table,
and oftener employ the small broom and
the dust-pan, leaving the actual sweeping
till it could be nicely done2
In truth, we abhor the brushing-up
business. We visited in house once

Slowly the hour hand Of the clock moves
round;
So slowly that no human eye hath power
To see it move! Slowly in shine or shower
The painted ship above il, homeward bound,
Sails, but seems motionless as if aground;
Yet both arrive at last; and in his tower
The slumberOus Waterman wakes and strikes
the hour,
A mellow, measured, melancholy sound.
Midnight! the outpost of advancing day!
The flOntier town and citadel Of night
The watershed Of time from which the
streams
Of Yesterday and Tomorrow take their way,
One to the land Of promise and OF light
One to the land OF darkness and of dreams!
o River Of Yesterday, with current swift
Through chasms descending, and soon lost
to sight,
DO not care to follow in thy flight,
0 River of Tomorrow uplift
Mine eyes, and thee follow, as the night
Wanes into morning. and the dawning light
follow, follow, where thy waters run
Through unfrequentcd, unfamiliar fields,
Fragrant with flowers ard musical with
song;
Still follow, follow; sure to meet the sun,
And confident, that what the future yields
Will be the right, unless myself be wrong.
III
Yet not in vain, 0 River of Yesterday,
Through chasms OF darkness to the deep
descending,
l heard thee sobbing il the rain, and blend
ing,
called to thee, and yet thou wouldst not
But turbulent, and with thy.elf contending,
And torrent-like thy force on pebbles spend
ing
Thou wouldst not listen to poets lay,
Thoughts, like loud and sudden rush Of
wings,
Regrets and recollections Of things past,
With hints and prophecies of things to be,
And inspirations, which, could they be things
And stay with US, and we could hold them
fast,
Were our good angels, these owe to thee.
And thou, o River of Tomorrow, flowing
Between thy narrow adamantine walls,
But beautiful and white with waterfalls,
And wreaths of mist, like hands the path
way showing;
I hear the trumpets Of the morning blowing,
hear thy mighty voice, that Gals and calls
And see, as Ossian saw in Morven's halls,
Mysterious phantoms, coming, reckoning
going!
It is the mystery of the unknown
That fascinates US we are children still,
Wayward and wistful; with one hand we
cling
To the familiar things we call our own,
And with the other, resolute of will,
Crepe in the dark for what the day will
bring.

ROCK OF AGES.
r. L. STANTON.
"Roch Of ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself IN thee!"

"Eoch Of ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself IN thee!"
Sang the lady, soft and low,
And her VOICES gentle flow
Rose upon the evening air
With that sweet and solemn prayer
"Rock OF Ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee"
Yet she sang as oft she had
When her heart was gay and glad,
Sang because she felt alone,
Sang because her soul had grown
Weary with the tedious day;
Sang to while the hours away,
"Rock of Ages, cleft for me-,
Let me hide myself in thee!"
Where the fitful gaslight falls
On her fathers massive walls.
On the chill and silent street
Where the lights and shadows meet,
There the lady's voice was heard,
AS the breath of night was stirred
With her tones so sweet and clear,
Waiting up to God that prayer;
Crock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee!'
Wandering, homeless thro' the night,
Praying for the morning light,
Pale and haggard, wan and weak,
With sunken eye and hollow cheek
Went woman, one whose life
Had been WI ecked in sin and strife;
One, lost and only child,
One by sin and shame defled;
And her heart with sorrow wrung,
Heard the lady when she sung,
crock OF Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee!"
Pausing, low her head she bent,
And the music as it went
Pierced her blackened soul, and brough
Back to her Gas lost in thought
Tre1nblingiy she stoo0 the past,
And the burning tears fell fast,
As she called to mind the days
When she walked in virtues ways;
When she sang that very song
With no sense of sin or wrong;
''Rock of Ages, cleft for me-,
Let me hide myself in thee!
On the marble steps she knelt,
And her soul that moment felt
More than she could speak, as there
Quivering, moved her lips in prayer,
And the God she had forgot
Smiled upon her lonely lot;
Heard her as she murmured oft,
With an accent sweet and soft,
"Rock of Ages, cleft for me-,
Let me hide myself in thee!'
Little knew the lady fair,
AS she hung in silence there,
That her voice had pierced a soul
That had lived meath sims control!
Little knew, when she had done.
That a lost and erring one
Heard her-as she breathed that strain
And returned to God again!

Got What He Called for.

chap, who gotahis dinners in this man

early settlers of the state. We transfer
one of the incidents showing what ladies
endured in those days: There arose a
spinning match among the young mar
ried ladies at the house of Nehemiah
Lewis. The trial was at the foot wheel,
in spinning linen. The conditions were
previously defined and agreed to, viz
They were to have their distafs pre-
pared for them, and their yarn reeled by
others. Upon the first trial at Lewis
house many did we'll. The wife of
Stephen futile spun five run, which was
equal to two and a half days labor, when
on hire. Several others spun four run
each; but Mrs. futile came off the
victor. But this aroused the ambition
OF some of the unmarried ladies, and
Lydia Beach was the first to come for
ward and take up the gauntlet. She spun
from early dawn to 8 clock in the even
ing. She had her dis tafs prepared, her
yarn reeled, and her food put into her
mouth. She spun in this time seven run;
three and half days labor. and took
the wreath from the brow of Mrs. Tut.
tie. Upon hearing of the exploit of Miss
Beach, the wife Of Capt. Isaac Pratt of
the south part OF the town came upon
the arena. Between early dawn and the
setting of the sun she had actually spun
six run, but at this moment her husband
appeared and peremptorily forbade her
proceeding farther. She sat down and
wept like child. But she obeyed. TO
complete the tale it is necessary only to
add that Miss Beach won A husband by
her fame, and died soon after as result
of her over-exertion at the spinning.
