he Rich and Great Not Always Happy

Some people tell me, 'yeur doctrine
about loving, and wives, and all that, is
splendid for the rich, but it won't do for
the poor I tell you tonight there is
more love in the homes Of the poor than
in the palaces of the rich. The meanest
hut with love in it is palace fit for the
gods, and palace without love is a den
only fit for wild beasts. That is my
aoctrlne! Yon cannot be so poor that you
cannot help somebody. Good nature is
the cheapest commodity in the world and
love is the only thing that will pay ten
per cent. to borrower and lender both.
Do not tell me that you have got to be
rich! We have false standard of great
ness in the United States. We think here
that man must be great, that he must
be notorious, that he must be extremely
wealthy, or that he must be on the putrid
lips Of rumor. It is all a mistake. 1T is
not necessary to be rich or to be great, or
to be powerful, or to be happy. The
happy nam is the successful man. Hap
piness IS the legal tender of the soul. JOY
is wealth.

OF the old Napoleon--a magnificent tomb
OF gilt and gold, fit almost for dead
deity--and gazed upon the sarcopha:, us
OF black Egyptian marble, where rest at
last the ashes of that restless man. I
leaned over the balustrade and thought
about the career of the greatest soldi II
of the modern world. I saw him
walking along the banks of the
Seine, contemplating suicide, I saw
him at Toulon. I saw him putting
down the mob in the streets of Paris.
saw him crossing the bridge ofLodi
with the tricolor in his hand-I saw him
In Egyptin the shadow of the pyramids
II saw him conquer the Alps and minsle
the eagles of France with the eagles Of the
crags. l saw him at Marengo--at Uim
and Austerlitz. I saw him in Russia
where the infantry of the snow and the
cavalry of the wild blast scattered his
leglons like winters withered leaves.
saw him at Leipslc in defeat and disaster,
driven by million bayonets back upon
Paris, clutched like wild beast, Danish
ed to Elba, I saw him escape and retake
an empire by force of his genius 1 saw
him upon the rightful field Of Waterloo,
where chance and fate combined to
wreck the fortunes of their former king.
and saw him at St. Helena, with his
hands crossed behind him, gazing out up
on the sad solemn sea.

had made, OF the tears that had been
she'd for his glory, and of the only WON

his heart by the cold hand of ambition,

by my side, knitting as the day died out

dreamless dust than to have been that

The birds flew over the wave;
The heart of the woman who loved the best
Lay mute in a silent grave!
For the love of the man who loved her well
Lived but the life of a fair bluebell!

BY THOMAS BUCHANAN READ.

My soul to-day
Is far away,
Sailing the Vesuvian Bay;
Ny winged boat,
A bird atlOat,
Swims round the purple peaks remote
Round purple peaks
1t sails and seeks
Blue inlsts and their crystal creeks,
Where high rocks throw
Through deeps below,
A duplicated golden glow.
Far, vague and dim
The mountains swim;
While on Vesuvius' misty brim,
With outstretched hands,
The gray smoke stands
O'erlooking the volcanic lands.
Here Ischia smiles
Der liquid miles;
And yonder, bluest of the isles,
Calm Capri waits;
Her sapphire gates
Beguiling to her bright estates.

My ripping skiff
Float swift or slow from cliff to cliff;
With dreamful eyes
My spirit lies
Under the walls of paradise.
Under the walls
Where swells and falls
The bays deep breast at intervals;
At peace l lie,
Blown softly by
A cloud upon this liquid sky.
The day, so mild,
Is heavens own child,
With earth and ocean reconciled-
The airs feel
Around me steal
Are murmuring to the murmuring keel
Oyer the rail
My hand trail
Within the shadow of the sail;
A joy intense,
The cooling sense
Glides down my drowsy incidence.
With dreamful eyes
My spirit flies
Where summer sings and never dies;
Oervciled with vines,
one SlOWS ana SQlneS
Among her future oil and wines.
Her children, hid
The cliffs amid
Are gamboling with the gamboling kid
Or down the walls,
With tipsy calls,
Laugh on the rocks like waterfalls.
The fishers child,
With tresses wild,
Unto the smooth, bright sand beguiled,
With glowing lips
Sings as she skips,
Or gazes at the far-of ships.
Yon deep bark goes
Where traffic flows,
From land of sun to lands of SHOWS;
This happier one
Her course is run
From land of snow to lands of sun.
Q happy ship,
To rise and dip,
With the blue crystal at your lip!
happy crew,
My heart with you
Sails, and sails, and sings anew!
No more, no more

Upbraids me with its load uproar;
With dreamful eyes
My Spirit lies

Mammoth Orders for the Spring
Trade.

| Daily Independent, March 6. 1879.
An independent reporter called yestcr.
day at the office of Messrs. T.. G. Power &
Co. and was permitted to glance at the
orders which had been forwarded by this
house, and others which are in preparation
for the seasons business. He was aston
ished in noting the magnitude of their or
ders, evidfncing largely increasing bust
ness. which certainly speaks well for their
standing with the farming class Their
success is largely due to their close attcn-
ton to business and to their well establish
ed reputation for fair dealing. Among the
items ordered we may mention Walter a.

the celebrated Self Binder. Improved

Machines. Hapgood g. Co.'S plows, which
have superseded all others. both as Stir
ring. Breaking. Gang and Sulky, the last
being the latest improvement. The order
for the Domestic Sewing Machines was
quite large. Among the many makes of
sewing machines offered for sale in this
market the Domestic stands unrivalled for
simplicity of construction. light running
and tor durability. The favor it has found
among all classes has made it difficult at
times to estimate and prepare for the de-
mand. which has steadily increased from

this country. Barb Fence Wire, claimed
by many to be cheaper. and is certainly
more durable, than the common board or
