Happiness for Man.

The late Rev, DR.. Putnam wrote, on
his last birthday, to friend, the follow
ing touchingly beautiful description of
the state Of feeling in which he saw his
end approaching. It is worthy of being
preserved as one of the most perfect pic
lures Of patient serenity that the langu-
age affords:
There are two kinds of happiness for
man. The first and best is work useful,
unimpeded work. This is the highest.
It gives sense Of life and growth.
With reasonable success, it is Gods best
boon. The second is rest. When the
powers flag, and the work cannot be done,
to sit still and think and remember and
hope. This last kind I am trying, and
succeed in it. I enjoy life about as we'll

"A look nnseen, or thought unguessed;
And souls that were kindred may live apart,

Never to know how heart beat with heart
In the dim past days of 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
With the passionate love that choked hel

And saddens her life now her youth is

And murmurs pane beneath her breath;

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, by
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
consistency, 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
tor 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 NAV
always turn from the caiamities of life.
Make it a 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
ticularly 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-
lows, for there is no difficulty so heavy
or insupportable in life which may not
be surmounted by the mutual labors and
the afectionate concord of that holy part

mo More Sea-"

Aye, artists come to paint it; and writers, to
putin a book,
How grand in storm, and fair in calm, the old
North Sea can look,
I've wondered to hear them talking, how to
mimic in music or song,
The voice that thrills the brooding air with its
thunder low and long;
Since never aught but ITSELF wot, could
sound like its angry roar,
When its breakers rise to the east winds call,
to crash on the rocky shore.
But rough or smooth, in shade or shine, the
face of the mighty main
Can speak of little else to me, but memory,
fear, or pam.
Father and husband, and bold bright boy, it
has taken them one by one;
shall lie alone in the churchyard there, when
my weary days are done.
God never sent me maiden BARN, to stay by
me to the last,
So I sit by the restless tides alone by the grave
of all my past;
By the waves so strong and pitiless, that have
drowned life's Joy for me,
And think of ''the land where all shall meet
the land where is no more sea-"
Yet cannot rest in meadow or fell, or the
quiet inland lanes,
Where the great trees spread their rustling
arms over the smiling plains.
l can't draw breath in the country, ali
Swallowed, and green, and dumb.
The want of the sea is at my heart, hear il

On the sand reach, or the tall cliff side, ere

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,
To 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 lefuse
The Lord thy heart,
Lest He declare,
81 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 crucified

New YORK, Nov. 25.-It is announced
TINT the Cooperative Colony Associa-
ton, among whose members are several
prominent clergymen, have determined to
establish the first colony in the Cumber-
land plateau of East Tennessee. The AS
ISOLATION expects to purchase suitable
tract before January, and send pioneer
force to prepare for the coming of the
main body in the spring. The plan is for
the Association to buy land and furnish
capital for buildings, stock and nipple
ments, and deed the property to the colo
nists in separate tracts as fast as the adj
vances are repaid, with a low rate of in
terest. Experiments in farming will be
encouraged, and there will be reserva-
ton for pasturage and fuel, which will be
the common property of the colony. A
village school will be established in the
centre of the domain with a cooperative
store, school and machine shops.
