THREE ANGELS.

They say this life is barren, drear and cold
Ever the same sad song was sung Of old,
Ever the same. long, weary tale Is told,
And to our lips Is held the cup Of strife;
And yet-a little love can sweeten llfe
They say our hands may grasp but Joys destroyed;
Youth has but dreams, and age an aching void
Whose Dead Sea fruit, long ago has cloyed;
Whose night with Wild tempestuous storms is rife
And yet little hope can brighten lie.
They say we fling ourselves in wild despair
Amid the broken treasures scattered there.
Where all Is wrecked, where all once promised fair
And stab ourselves with sorrows two.edged knife
And yet little patience strengthens life.
rs It, then, true, this tale Of bitter grief,
OF mortal anguish Audng no rellefP
Lol midst the winter shines the laures leaf;
Three Angels share the lot of human strife,
Three Angels glorlfy the path of life.
Love, Hope and Patience cheer us on our way.
Love- Hope and Patience form our spirits stay,
Love- Hope and Patience watch us day by day.
And bid the desert bloom with beauty vernal
Until the Earthly fades In the Eternal
BABY BOBOLINK'S CRADLE,
Woven of grasses dry and brown,
with sprlg OF clover here and there,
A cosy lining of thistledown
And feather dropped from bird in air
This Is the cradle, dainty and fine,
Love hides away in the meadow sweet
Down deep down, and never a sign
To tempt too near little wayward feet.
Down, deeo down in the bossoming grass
That rustles dreamlly all day long.
And only the yellow butterflies pass
Ana the green'gold bees with their humdrum
song
Golden buttercups lean above,
And daisies white with hearts all gold,
Golden lily-bells nod their love,
And the golden sunshine all doth fold.
What wonder young bobolink springs to air
With flecks of light in his plumage caughti
What wonder his songs a medley rare
OF all things golden and free and fair,
And song with ecstacy fraughtl

biographical sketch Of Cornelia. saws !.
The whole life of Cornelia presents a
beautiful character 2 And from the
facts which are in our possession we
draw these differences
!. Corneia must have been educated
IN O very superior manner by her father.
Tor IN no other manner can we account
for her knowledge and love Of literature !:
nor for the fact that while vet Young
she was regarded as worthy the most
virtrlous and noble men of Rome.
= She must have been from the be-
ginning a woman Of fixed principles and
undaunted coura e, for in no other man.
ner can we give a solution to her reiec
ton OF the King of Egypt, her ,lnremit-
ting care OF her family, her high educa-
ton of her sons, and the great influence
she held over them.
5. She must have cultivated literature
and the graces of conversation. for how
else could she have attracted to her home
the men of letters, and won the compli-
ments OF distant princes.
1t is the same-like causes produce
like results everywhere. Earnest study
and loving philanthropy enrich the heart
OF the mother, and bless first and enrich
most the home shrine, and thence over
flow until they brighten and bless the
weary, homesick world.
Give us more mothers prepared to in
struct the world in the true philosophy
OF life, and we will have more sons to be
numbered with philosophers.
1t was grand inscription, worthy the
aspiration of every mother, "Cornelia,
the mother of the Gracchi!'' But one
can scarcely imagine one of those
4" Gracchi" boys commanding his mother
to "keep silence on any question of
church Or state.-EiisuJeh Bou,ato1e

ObelfSkS.

The Romans had passion for ODE
lisks, removing the one now in New
York, and the one Ii, London, from He
llopolls and erecting them before the
Cesareum Of Alexandria. Here is an
account of an obelisk greater than ours
The great obelisk which now adorns
the piazza of St. John Lateran, at Rome,
was originally set up before the Temple
granite, and as it now stands it is 1O8
feet inches high, and its faces. are re-
spectively 9 feet 81 inches and feet
wide at the base; one Of the bases is
slightly convex, and it has been calcu-
lated to weigh 455 tons. The Persians,
the Greeks and the Romans allowed it
to remain in the place it was originally
designed for, but on the establishment
Of Christianity Constantine the Great,
intending it for the adornment of his
new capital in the East, removed it to
Alexandria about 800 A. D. This inten-
ton he was unable to carry out, but it
was brought from Egypt by his success
or, Constantius, who regretted it in the
Circus Maximus. A ship was built to
convey the obelisk to Rome; 300 rowers
tugged the huge trreme and its ponder
GUS burden across the waters Of the Med
iterranean to the shores of Ostia. Ar
rived there the obelisk was slid off from
the deck of the galley on low cart sup
ported by rollers instead of wheels, and
1t was then dragged and pushed through
the gates of Ostia into the Circus Maxi
mus. Cali that now remained to be
DONE" records the historian, Amnlianus
Marcellinus, was to set it upright,
which they hardly expected to accom-
pish. Large beams Of wood were plant
ed upright and raised to dangerous
altitude, resembling forest of machine.
~. 10 these were attached long, thick
ropes, which, from their weight and ten
sion, appeared but as so many slender
threads, and yelled the sky as with
close netting. To these ropes the noun
famous mass of granite, covered with its
profusion of hieroglyphics, was attached,
and being gradually raised up into the
air, and for some time actually suspend
ed, was at last poised upon the base pre-.
pared for it by the exerGons of many
thousands of men. A brazen sphere,
covered with plates of gold, was placed
upon the top, which. being soon after
damaged by lightning and consequently
taken away, was replaced by figure Of
a flame, also made of brass, covered with
gold leaf and carved to resemble blaz-
ing fire."

Goethe,s Heartlessness.
Goethe traded in the loves of ".

Goethe traded in the loves Of women
women whom he had attached to him
by his powers of fascination. When
he had no woman in his heart, says his
latest biographer, she was like a dis
secting surgeon without a subject. He
said of 3alzac, that each of his best nov
els seemed dug out of suffering wom-
ans heart. Balzac might have returned
the compliment In reference to his
early fondness for natural history,
Goethe says, remember that, when
a child I pulled flowers to pieces to see
how the petals were inserted into the
calyx, or even plucked birds to observe
how the feathers we're inserted In the
wings" Bettina remarked to Lord
Houghton that he treated women in
much the same fashion.

to supply the demand at 10 cents each.
There was money in it. .
Ono, there wasn't. I bought 100
bushels Of turnips, $50 worth Of wire,
and hired two men to go to work, and
then took a greaser and went over ir to
Vermont to see how it would take; they
would not have it. They had something

How Some Famous Authors Worked.

How Some Famous Authors Worked.
The fluent and graceful literature the
world admires was by no means as easy
to make as it is to read. Pope is az
frmed to have kept his manuscript a
year or two for study and alteration,
and even then his printers proofs were
so full Of alterations that on one occa-
sion, Dodsley, his publisher, thought it
better to have the whole recomposed
than to make the necessary corrections.
Goldsmith considered four lines day
good work, and was seven years in beat
ing out the pure gold Of the g Deserted
Village" Hume wrote his 6 History of
England on a sofa, but he went quietly
on correcting every edition till his death.
Robertson used to write out his SEN
fences on small slips of paper; and,
after rounding them and polishing them
to his satisfaction, he entered them in
book, which, in its turn, underwent con-
siderable revision.
Burke had all his principal works
printed two OF three times at private
press before submitting them to his pub
Usher. Akenside and Gray were indie
fatgable correctors, laboring every line
and SO was our prolix and more mag
NATIVE poet, Thomson. On comparing
the first and latest editions Of the
Seasons" there will be found scarcely
page which does not bear evidence Of
his taste and industry. johnson thinks
the poems lost much of their raciness
under this severe regimen, but they
were much improved in fancy and deli
cacy.
johnson and Gibbon were the least
laborious in arranging their copy for
the press. Gibbon sent the first and
only MS. of his stupendous work (the
Decline and Fall'O to his printer;
and Johnson's high-sounding sentences
were written almost without an effort.
Both, however, lived and moved, as it
were, in the world of letters, thinking
or caring of little else-one in the heart
of busy London, which he dearly loved.
and the other in his silent retreat at
Lausanne. Dryden wrote hurriedly, to
provide for the day. st. Pierre copied
his Paul and Virginia" nine times.
Rousseau was very coxcomb in these
matters; he wrote on fine gilt-edged
.card-paper when he could get It. Sheri-
dan watched long and anxiously for
bright thoughts, as the MS. of his
"School for Scandal" in its various
stages, proves. Burns composed in the
open air, the SUMMER the better; but he
labored hard. and with almost-unerring
taste and Judgment, in correcting.
Lord Byron was rapid composer,
but made abundant use Of the pruning
knife. Sir Walter Scott evinced his
love of literary labor by undertaking
the revision of the whole of the 'sWav-
erly Novels" The works of Wordsworth.
Southey, Coleridge and Moore, and the
occasional variations in their different
editions, mark their love Of re-
touching. Southey was unwearied
after his kind "a true author Of
the old school. The bright thoughts of
Campbell, which sparkle like polished
lances, we're manufactured with almost
equal care. .-s..

The Lily.

With the Chinese, the lily is the ma

Years day it is regarded as most happy
omen, presaging the best of luck to the
fortunate owner of the plant. For this
reason a good deal of care is bestowed

hope that it may put forth its flower
upon the morning of the anniversary.
The Chinese lily is different from any
other variety. It is grown by placing
the bulb on bits of window glass. stone

Men, Women and Suicide.

Men are everywhere becoming more
weary of the burden of life. Authori-
ties on sanitation and vital statistics tell
us that, OF late years, life--the average
human ife-has been considerably pro-
longed by greater attention to the means
of preserving health yet, concurrent
with this improvement, there are
greater Impotence of life itself and a
greater desire to escape its burden.
Women are less prone to commit suicide
in Europe than men, and extensive in
yestigation OF the subject has convinced
Signor Morselli that the tendency to
suicide increases with age more strongly
among the unmarried and widowed than
among the married of both sexes. The
following table curiously illustrates this
fact. Among 100000 of persons of
each class in Europe generally, in SO far
as the returns enabled him to compare
them, the following numbers committed
s11icide.

Women cling to life much more
strongly than men, and that under the
most wretched conditions. A childless
widow would appear to be far more desc
