We are told that in the neighborhood
of Interlaken there is q prominent
point, although not of great height,
called the Himweh Fluh, which means
the Homesick Mount" It is SO called
because it is generally the last spot
which the traveller visits before leaving
that part of Switzerland, and at O time
when his thoughts are turned home
ward. It commands a view of the
whole valley of Interlaken, with its
cultivated fields and pastures and pic
turesque villages and lakes in the cup
OF mountain walls, and beyond the
Jungfrau, and other mountains, which
never doff their caps of eternal snow.
1t is beautiful to look upon, but the
heart of the tourist is not there. He is
thinking of friends and loved ones, and
his own country. It is the Homesick
Mount. And so they to whom faith
makes the invisible most real, may
have their moments of uplifting, stand
on some Heimweh Fluh," some
Mount of Homesickness, and, while
they acknowledge all the beauty, all the
glory, all the gladness of the world,
their hearts are not here this sight
does not enthrall them, for their faces
are turned toward home. They dwell
in the Land of Promise as in strange
country.--JohR X. Allen.

A Senator's Wife.

Most of the biographical sketches Of
the late Mr.. Wade mention that he mar.
ried Miss Rozencranz, and that he was
forty one years old, almost an old bache
lor, and she thirty seven, almost an old
maid, when the nuptial knot was tied.
She lived with him for thirty seven
years-that fact, too, is stated in the
"sketches but how useful helpmeet
and helpmate she was is not more than
very generally narrated. tits rather an
important fact that Mrs. Wade was her
busy husbands secretary, assistant,
reader, and it may also be said right
hand. Senator Wade had an almost in
vincible antipathy to putting pen to
paper. He had an almost equal disin-
clination to search books. This drudg
cry Mrs. Wade cheerfully assumed.
When her husband had a great speech
in hand, it was his wife who furnished
him with the materials, which he after
ward arranged, assimilated and systema-
tized. Great things are told Of her skill in
this respected her tact, industry and
patience.
There is nothing discreditable to the
late senator in the statement, for his
share of the work was undoubtedly the
greater, and his mind it was which util-
lied Mrs. Wade's industry. But it
must have been everything to him that
she felt such a lively interest in
matters which were the business of his
life, that she could be intelligently con-
suited upon points about which not
many women know anything, and that
while she was proud of his success she
knew Just how he had succeeded, and
why he was deservedly famous. There
are other distinguished senators whose
wives are proud of their distinction,
but who do not exactly comprehend
how it has been attained. They are not
without valuable influence on their
husbands, and do much by social tai
ents to promote their success /; but it is
not always that these estimable ladies
read their husbands speeches, or would
in the least comprehend them if they
did. The politics of these wives are, of
course, the politics of their lords i; but
they are entertained in the female bos-
ON in rather an indefinite way, and are
taken pretty much upon trust. Mr..
Wade was fortunate in wife who SYM
pathized with him entirely in the opin-
ions which, all his life, he so stoutly
entertained.
We have said that wives who have
been the valuable assistants of public
men in the discharge of public duties
have not been many, but perhaps they
have been more numerous than is gen.
orally suspected. At any rate it is
matter worth looking into by the care
full student of biography. The investi-
cation would probably disclose many
another instance like that which we
have mentioned, of community of
tastes and of toll. Sometimes it is the
wife who devotes her time and strength
in this way sometimes it is the daugh-
ter. In the case of Herschel, the as
tronomer, it was sister. More than
one great man has probably admitted
that he would have been nobody but
for the help, and encouragement which
he found at home.-New York Tribune.

Margaret Fuller's Tragic Death.

In the spring of 1850 Margaret was
irresistibly drawn to her native land.
She wished to publish her book, that
was to do justice to great principles
and great men. 1t would seem that
Margaret Fuller had been strangely
prepared, by life and by temperament,
to chronicle the italian struggle.
Each order of things has its angel"
Every great event has its historian
Every great need, whether individual
or national, is always met.
a wonderful example of this is given
in George Eliots narration of the meet
ing of Daniel Deronda and Mordecai
on the bridge. 1t is the most wonder
full event in English literature. 1t has
all the tragic intensity of Shakespeare.
1.-THE prefgured friend had come from
the golden background, and had sig
nailed to him. This actually was the
rest was to be-"
1t was with many misgivings that the
Count and Countess D'Ossoli embarked
on board the ship Elizabeth, on voy-
age that was, indeed, the voyage of
eternity. "Beware of the sea-" had
been prophecy given to Ossoli in his
boyhood, and strange, subtle apprehen-
sions Of risk lowered around Margaret.
She wrote thus:
81 have a vague expectation of some
crisis-I know not what. 1t has long
seemed to me that in the year 1850 L
should stand on plateau in the ascent
of life, when l should be allowed to
pause for while and take more clear
and commanding views than ever be-
fore. Yet my life proceeds as regular
ly as the fates of Greek tragedy"
On this voyage Margaret gives the
last touches to her book on Italy. On
the 18th of July the vessel was off the
coast of New Jersey, and they retired
for what they believed to be the last
night on shipboard-alas! the last on
earth. In the night terrible hurri-
cane arose, and the vessel was driven
headlong toward the sandbar of Long
Island. About o'clock in the morn
ing she struck on Fire Island beach.
Her doom was sealed. No human
power could save her. She lay at the
mercy of wind and waves. For twelve
hours they chung to the wreck. 1t is
possible that Margaret might have been
saved, but she refused to leave her hus-
band and child. It had long before
been her prayer that " Ossoli, Angelo
and I might go together, and the an
guish be brief"
The prayer was strangely granted.
The only one of Margaret's. treasures
that ever reached her native land was
the dead body of her child, which the
sea gave up to tender ministries. Ninos
body was taken to her home, and is
buried in Mt. Auburn. A monument
is placed there to Margaret, with her
face sculptured on it in medallion, in
the Fuller family lot.
And this was the home coming. All,
truly, it was going Home !-CMcinnat

BliilIe minstrel Of the fading year
love thy song Of coy cheer,
And though my cell be rude and bare
With thee my lonely hearth l share,
Nor would thy thin pipe forego
For sweetest reeds that man may blow.
Without, November's tempests
The maniac wind assaults the door,
And shrill through mountain gorges bleak
The WRITTEN hemlocks sigh and shrek;
But what care how wild it be
So Fate sends comrade such as thee?
Estranged, unvisited, forlorn,
give the false word scorn for scorn
Remote from man, to hear at night
Thy faultless treble's crisp delight,
And warm my old bonesb by the fire,
Are the sole comforts desire.
When on my ruined past brood,
And maddening memories intrude,
Then, welcome guest thy cheerful strain
Diverts and solaces my pain,
And makes me for an hour forget
All, save thy tiny clarionet
When sleeps soft fingers close my eyes,
And childhood's fairy pictures rise,
Thou art my sieepless sentinel,
Whose watchword tells me all is we'll
Whose sudden silence warns my ear
If aught of evil wanders near.
Thou art the hermit's closest friend
And wien my mortal day shall end,
And my cold hand at last shall tire
To light at eve the fagot-ire-
Though none are left to weep for me,
Thy song my requiem shall bel
