What blessing tc household is q
merry, cheerful woman-one whose spirit
is not affected by wet days, or little dis
appointments, or whose cream of human
kindness does not sour in the sunshine of
prosperity! Such woman IN the dark
est hours brightens the house like piece
of sunshiny weather. The magnetism of
her smiles, the electrical brightness of
her looks and movements infest every
one. The children 60 to school with a
sense of something great to be achieved !;
her husband goes into the world IN con-
queror's spirit. No matter how people
annoy and worry him all day, far off her
presence shines, and he whispers to him
self, "At home I shall find rest" So day
by day she literally renews his strength
and energy; and if you know man with
a beaming face, kind heart, and pros
porous business, in nine cases out of ten
you will find he has wife of this kind.

A BROKEN STRING.

Sing, and to you! No-no-with one note
The harmony of Life's long chord is broken,
Your words were light and by light lips
And yet the music that you loved is marred.
One string, my friend, is dumb beneath your
Strike and it throbs and vibrates at your
will,
Falters upon the verge Of sound, and still
Falls back as sea waves shattered on the
strand.
Touch it no more, for you shall not regain
The sweet lost tone. Take what is left, or
let
Life's music sleep to Death. Let US forget
The perfect melody we seek in vain
And yet perchance, some day before we die,
AS half in dreams we hear the night wind
sweep
Around our windows, when we fain would
sleep,
Laden with one long, sobbing, moaning cry,
One faint, far tone will waken, and will rise
Above the great wave voice of mortal pain {;
Hand will touch hand and lips touch lips
again,
As in the darkness it recedes and dies;-
Or lingering IN the Summer evening glow,
Then, when the passion of the crimson
Burning like some great heart that cannot
Stains as with blood the waters as they flow,
Some old forgotten tones may rise and wake
Our dying youth, and set our hearts aflame
With their old sweetness-to our lips the
name
OF love steal softly, for the old loves sake.

The Campaner0; or Bell Bird.

I think there SHOULD be a revised edi.
ton of the Cock Robin tragedy. I never
could see any proprety in the bull be-
ing at that bird-tuneral. The Campan-
gro or bell-bird, could have tolled the
bell, even though there had been no bell
in the world. It has feshy "horn" on
its forehead, you see, which is connected
with its palate, and at moments notice
it can fill this with air,-and then you
should hear it It utters solemn, clear
bell.note, like the toll of q distant con-
vent bell, pauses for minute or two,
then gives another toll and the sound
can be heard three miles off.
It is a sad pity the Campanero was not
at Robins funerel, for it is gentle crea-
ture and its dress is most appropriate for
such an occasion-being snow'white-th the
"horn" is jet black with a few white
feathers. True, they would have had to
send to the country of the Amazon for it,
but tie birds could have managed that.

Henry Bergh's Methods.

In paper, by Mr.. G. G. Buel, in
Scrib'aer for April, on ''Henry Bergh and
his Work, occurs this passage regarding
his methods Of enforcing the laws against
cruelty:
Moral suasion and resolute beating
are Henry Bergh's most potent auxili-
aries. Only rarely has he been forced to
use his muscular strength to defend him
self. One winters day he met two large
men comfortably seated on ton of coal,
with one horse straining to drag the cart
throug h the snow. He ordered them to
get down, and after an alteration pulled
them down. At another time he stood
at the southwest corner of Washington
square, inspecting the horses OF the
Seventh Avenue Railroad. Several weak
and lame horses were ordered to be sent
to the stables, and q blockade of over
loaded cars soon cnsued. A loafer on
a car platform, annoyed at the dely, be-
gan to curse Mr.. Bergh, who stood on the
curb-stone three feet distant, turning a
deaf ear till the spectators began to urge
the bully on. Then, losing his patience,
he seized the reins and suspended the
movement of the car until the order was
complied with. This Is one of his
"curb-stone'' speeches, often used with
effect: 'Now, gentlemen, consider
that you are American citizens living
in republic. You make your own
laws; no despot makes them for you.
And appeal to your sense Of justice and
your patriotism, oughtn't you to respect
what you yourselves have made?" Once,
Mr.. Bergh ordered the ignorant foreman
Of gang Of gas-pipe layers to fill up one
half of trench they had dug directly
across crowded Greenwich street, even
under the railway track. The man gave
surly refusal which would have caused
his arrest had not stranger stepped out
of the crowd and said:
"M1ke, you better do what that man
tells you, for he's the law and the gospel
in this CITY,"
''The law and the gospel is it, then9'
replied Mike, surveying Mr.. Bergh from
head to foot. "Well, be don't look Bit
like it."
"No matter, but he u.s." enforced thu
stranger, "and if you can take a friends
advice, you will fill up that trench"
And the trench was filled.
1t is compliment to Henry Bergh't
tact and moderation in the use of hi
great authority, that he has won the re.
spect of most of the drivers of the city
these people may frequently be seen lift
| ing their hats to him, courtesy always
acknowledged with bow. Horse-cal
drivers have been known to leave thei1
cars and run to the assistance of his of
fcers, notably when Superintendent
fairfield was attacked at Madison SQUARE
