Wear and Want.

The nun, Night, went shivering over the town
ana dropped from her rosary beads of snow
AND dove OF paryer, as the flakes came
down,
Bent an upward wing from a heart of woe:
From window where want set iron bars
The dove fled away through the cloud to the
stars.
With misery eloquent in her eyes,
With naked bosom, and head, and feet.
Feeding her hunger with bitterest signs.
AND freezing and weak, in the merciless
street
In the white, silent sheet, as the storm grew
wild,
A mother stood, holding her dying child.
Yet in the wide mansion that rose near her
there, -
A beautiful lady, in satin and lace,
Sat, saddened. aud signing for lack of wear,
And the fancied sorrow o'ershadowed her
face,
No song would be trilled for the gloom of her
brow
II pity were voiced like bird on bough,
The stronger !gg the contrast, the palmer the
And the truth this teaches is plain, indeed
oqr SIN Is as sharp as serpent's tooth,
When we pine for things that we do not
need.
Shame, shame to the heart and its wicked
pride,
That, having much, is unsatisfed!

The Cross.

Quaint through the construction be of the
following poem, yet never has the story been
told with more truthful simplicity:
Bless they who seek,
While in their youth,
With spirit meek,
The way of truth.
To them the sacred Scriptures now display
Christ as the only true and living way;
His precious blood on Calvary was given,
10 make them heirs of endless bliss in heaven.
And cen on earth the child of God can trace
The glorious blessings OF his Saviour's grace.
For them He bore
His Fathers frown;
For them He wore
The thorny crown;
Nailed to the cross,
Endured Its pain,
That His life's loss
Might be their gain.
Then haste to choose
That better part,
Nor cen dare refuse
The Lord thy heart,
Lest He declare,
II knew you not"
And deep despair
Should be your lot.
Now look to Jesus who on Calvary died.
And trust on Him who there was crucifed

Chance.

A word unspoken, hand impressed,
look unseen, or thought unguessed;
And souls that WEI kiAdred may live apart,
Never to meet or to know the truth,
Never to know how heart beat with heart
In the dim past days of a wasted youth.
She shall not know how his pulses leapt
When over his temples her Lresses swept;
AS she leaned to give him the jasmine wreath
She felt his breath, and her face flushed
red
With the passionate love that choked her
breath,
And saddens her life now her youth is
dead.
A faded woman who waits for death,
And murmurs pane beneath her breath;
A cynical man who SCOTS and ieers
At women and love in the open day,
And at right time kisses with bitter tears
A faded fragment of jasmine spray.

Marriage.

Marriage places woman in the sphere
where she may attain the greatest happi-
ness; so does it advance her to station of
power and responsibility. Her power
over her husbands happiness is almost
absolute. By wisdom and steadiness, bv
forbea1ance and weakness, she may be to
him tower of strength, but no tongue
can tell the way she may annoy him and
render him wretched. Then cultivate
and exhibit, with the greatest care and
constancy, cheerfulness and good humor.
They give beauty to the finest face and
impart charms where beauty is not. On
the contrary, gloomy, dissatisfied man
ner is an antidote to affection and though
man may not seem to notice it, it is
chilling and repulsive to his feelings.
and he will be very apt to seek elsewhere
for those smiles and cheerfulness which
he finds not in his own home Endeav-
or to make your husbands habitation in
wiling and delightful to him. Let it be
| to him a sanctuary to which his heart may
always turn from the calamities of life.
Make it repose from his cares; shell
ter from the world; home, not for his
person only, but for his heart. He may
meet with pleasures in other houses, but
LET him find happiness in his own. Par
ttcularly shun what the world calls "cur-
tain lectures" When you shut your door
at night, endeavor to shut out at the same
moment all discord and contention, and
look on your chamber as retreat from
the vexations Of the world, a shelter sa-
cred to peace and affection. How sweet
is the society Of a beloved wife when
wearied with the labors of the day. She
shares his burdens and alleviates his sor-
rows, for there is no difficulty 50 heavy
or insupportable in life which may not
be surmounted by the mutual labors and
the affectionate concord of that holy part

In 1854 the farmer had to pay 30 cents
per pound for his sugar, to-day the same
amount may be bought for less than half
that sum. If his wife needed a new
calico dress it required 40 cents to buy a
yard, to-day it requires but six. Delaines
have fallen from 40 to 10, ginghams from
40 to9, checks from IS to Is, Canton
Hannels from IS to s, bleached muslin

OF the SAME COlOT DIS Tie OItSS. 1uCy are
trimmed with buckles or buttons of Rhine
quartz (Strass), Or else with a small
bunch of flowers to match those of the
toilet.
Spun-silk hose are very much worn on
account of their warmth and the perfec-
ton of their fit. The favorite colors are
mulberry and dragons green. The "Jes-
sica' ribbed hose are among the latest
styles for children.
Oils and pomades are not used on tie
hair. Frequent shampooings are advised
by the hair dressers, and a great deal of
brushing done by strong, swift strokes
to bring out the natural oil Of the hair,
and thus make it look glossy without
looking creased.
Admirable toilets are composed Of
brocaded goods and plain satin, the satin
being employed for the front of the skirt,
the vest, and the trimming. The brocad-
ed material forms the long skirt with
majestic train, which opens over the satin
skirt in front and the vest.
When the toilet is designed for din
ner or for soiree without dancing, the
shoes are of black kid, as soft aud glossy
as that employed for gloves, and the up
per part is cut in bands On the front,
which are trimmed with flowers Of Rhine
quarts. In this case silk stockings are
de riguear, and should always match the
colors of the toilet.
Keys and snakes are just now the favor
tie designs for jewelry-it would be rath-
er hard to tell why. A fan chatelaine is
a snake which coils around the waist, and,
being pliable, hangs down at the side In
very unpleasaatly suggestive twists,
while earrings of plain, dull gold repre-
sent lock with the tiny key of gold.
When once locked they are evidently
more secure than some bank safes.
