hears, and invaribly sees ghost when
ever he goes out after dark.
He can ask 329 questions to the minute
off-hand, and a good many more when
he studies right hard, and generally
makes a point of i6ictipg them upon
some citifed chap that would rather
have the seven year itch with year to
start. He is as honest as the day is
long, and will take thrashing any time
rather than do a real mean act, but will
tie two old tomcats' tails together and
string them over clothes line when the
folks are all away from home, without
ever thinking how rough 1t is on the
cats. He will reflect on the error of his
ways, and stuff an old wool hat in the
gable end of his pants before the old
folks get back home. But he finally
grows up to be man, goes to see the
girls, gets married, and perhaps some
day will be elected constable, or may
perhaps become member of Congress.

THE COUNTRY BOY.

The true, genuine unadulterated coun-
try boy is an article that man even
with the learning of hotel clerk could
find great room for study. He is just
the same, so far as appearance goes,
from Florida to Washington Territory,
but his capacity to invent and carry out
plans of doing mischief is something
wonderful. The genuine country boy
always has the end of his nose ornament
ed with good healthy blister in sum-
mer time, and it is about the color of
blue bottle in a drug store window in
winter. Nobody ever remembers seeing
country boys pants supported by more
than one suspender, and the pants are
generally about nine inches too short.
1t is impossible fer him to be happy
without stone bruise on his heel or a
splinter under his finger nail. He gen

times and under all circumstances.
Whenever you hear his mother get
out on the front stoop and yell, "Now

WOMAN'S GRIEVANCE.

So far as | Can see, the working
mans wife who has to cook and clean,
and wash and mend, and do. all the
primitive services of life for her family,
has harder and more constant work than
her husband has; and rising upwards
in the ranks of life, | think the same
balance goes on. at least until that level
of wealth and leisure is reached at which
the favorites of fortune, like the lilies,
toll not, neither do they spin. To talk
of the great mass Of working-women, the
wives of the poorer and laboring classes,
10 pretty and poetical way as the in
spirers of toll, the CONSIDERS of care, by
whose smiles man is stimulated to in
dustry and rewarded for his exertions,
would be to ridiculous for the most rig
id theorist. The whole compact of their
married life is based upon this. that
she should do her work while he does
his; and hers is the share which is
"never DONE" l do not say word
against the laws of nature; but | object
that, while this is the case. the poor
woman who works so hard is considered
as passive object of her husbands
bounty, indebted to him for her living,
and with no standing ground or position
of her own. Housekeeping is fine
science, and there are some women who
show real genius in it; but genius
that makes everything easy is rare and
in general it is hard struggle to carry
on that smooth. and seemingly easy rou-
tine of existence which seen outside ap-
pears to go of itself Try to let it go
by itself for ever so short time and
you will find the difference. This is
the woman's share of the work. in addi-
tion to that perennial occupation, the
nurture of her children, to whom she
very likely gives their earliest lessons.

lives. Her day is full of a multiplicity
of tasks. some greater some smaller, but
all indispensable; since without thai
guidance and supervision and regula-

dents, and society could not exist at all
Thus woman has not only certain IN
paralleled labors in her life to which
the man can produce no balance on hi
side, but she has her work cut out fo
her in all the varieties ofexistence. Sh'

GO SLOW.

When you pair of bright eyes meet.
That make your heart in rapture beat;
When one voice seems to you more sweet
Than and other voice you know,
Go slow, my friend, go slow;
For brightest eyes have oft betrayed.
And sweetest voice of youth and maid
The very falsest things have said,
And thereby wrought deal of woe:
Go slow, my friend, go slow.
When you're convinced you are poet,
And wishing all the world to know it,
Call on some editor to show 1t,
Your verses full of glow and "blow,''
Go slow, my friend, go slow;
For many a one has done the same,
And thought to grasp the hand of Fame.
p And yet has never seen his name
In PRINT. And why-waste-baskets know:
Go slow, my friend, go slow.
When you to greed for money yield.
And long the mighty pow'r to WELD
That's always found in golden field,
With senseless pomp and pride and show,
Go slow, my friend, go Slow;
For thousands, tempted by the glare
Ofwealth, have fallen in the snare
Set for the thief And now despair,
Regret, and shame have brought them low !:
Go slow, my friend, go slow.
The good old earth is never wrong;
Each of her works takes just so long;
Months pass before happy throng
OF daisies in the meadows grow:
Go slow, my friend, go slow.
And spring gives life to summers fow'rs,
And summers sun and summers show'rs
Prepare the fruit for autumn bow'rs,
And autumn frosts brings winter snow:
Go slow, my friend, 60 slow.

A WONDERFUL RECORD
OF CHANGE.

The changes which Peter Cooper has
witnessed include the entire series of
the national Presidents. What ma
jestic array of national dignitaries !
He was born when Washington was in
his first term, the presidential Office be-
ing the old City Hall in Wall street.
He was six years old when Washington
retired at the close of the second term,
and he was eight when the old hero
died. He was thirteen when Burr kill
ed Hamilton, and is said to be the only
person who can remember the latter.
He was seventeen when Fulton made
his first trip up the Hudson in the Cler-
mont The Erie canal was one of the
projects discussed when ne reached man
hood, though the war with Great Brit
ain delayed it for ten years. His first
vote was cast for Madison, and he has
been regular voter ever since-a perl
cd of sizty-eight years. He was thirty
five when the first railway in America
was projected, and he built the first To-
comotive of American manufacture. His
whole life has been identified with pub
lie improvement, and he has been
leader in the advance of the age, hay-
ing witnessed grander march of pro-
gress than any other man in the entire
annals of the human race. Probably
the most wonderful of all these improve
ments is the telegraph, which will al
ways be one of the marvels of science.
The next is the progress of journalism.

Too great economy in youth leads to
avarice in old age.
There is no victory so cheap and SO
complete as forgiveness.
Experience has very poor memory,
and true charity none at all.
Extreme gravity is oftener the result
of stupidity than of wisdom.
Doing nothing is the most slavish toll
ever imposed on any one.
If you suspect a man wrongfully you
licence him to defraud you.
About all cunning can do for man
is to make him incredulous.
Gratitude is debt which al men owe
but which few pay cheerfully.
The charities which a man dispenses
after his death looks suspicious.
Adversely links men together, while
prosperity is apt to scatter them.
Happiness consists in being happy.
There is no particular rule for it.
Some men seem to have salve for
the woes of others, but none for their own.
Luck is the dream of simpleton a
wise man makes his own good fortune.
All prudes were once coquetts and
changed because they were obliged to.
True eloquence is the power of COM
pletely impressing others with our ideas.
lmpossibilities are scarce Mankind
has not seen more than half dozen of
them since the creation.
| Wealth in this world is just so much
baggage to be taken care of, but cul
tivated brain is easy to carry and is a
never-failing source of profit and pleas
ure.

WILL HE GIVE WINE?

Sundry journals have bulletined their
gratuitous belief that General Garfield
means to restore wine to the White.
House table, and that his wife has no
will or wish of her own to refuse wine
to guests. J. G. Ambrose, of Evanston,
Ill.,, in the course of letter to the
Tribune, declines to believe that this
will be true. He says: "Garfeld step
ped into life poor boy, and he has
reached maturity man of competence,
of clean character, of large scholastic
and practical attainments. In the un-
clouded use of all his talents, he IS a
man whose growth is the effect of cause
and not of accident. His success is the
result of early virtue, hard work, hard
study, patience, temperance, economy,
self-respect, respect for all people whose
friendship is encouragement, well-chosen
companions and surroundings, and sin
cere regard for morality and religion.
He must have been the steadfast enemy
of strong drinks; and this hostility is
| the best fruit to sample the trees COM
ing crop by. If it has grown great
without wine, will it decay with wine 4?
| What of the other tree and its fruits ?
That tree is the present White House
example against wine as an ingredient
of its hospitality. Four years ago q
discreet Christian woman, keeping a
conscience in daily use, became hostess
within that house. She prayed that
the cup might pass out. The President
agreed with his wife. Wine went out.
Since that date, and by force of that ex-
ample, it has gone from nearly every
GuberDatorial banquet board 1t has
gone from thousands of smaller social
centres that before were influenced by
higher custom. The White House ex-
ample has made it popular, and not a
cause for ridicule, to invert the glass
at clubs and public parties. Behold
the fruit of this tree of great example
Shall it be dug up, and the upas of the
vine planted in its place ? Is it likely
that President Garfield will be so reck-
less as to crave the curse which would
60 back with wine to the White House
as surely as groans follow pain. Fol
have not good souls everywhere water
ed this tree of example with warmest
gratitude? Is it not for this that Mrs
Hayes is the most beloved among Pres
idents' wives? No man who is kind tt
the moral and industrial growth of thi
great people will pluck and blast thl
fruit of example in its present growing
condition. 1t is too full of promise TO
the future. 1t has too many friends il
alliance with the President to be. B
the fruit of these trees, the Hayes ex
ample ought to endure, and Presiden
Garfield will continue its cultivation"

THE OTHER WORLD.

1t lies around us like cloud,
A world we do not see;
Yet the sweet closing of an eye
May bring US there to be.
It's gentle breezes fan our cheek;
Amid ouI worldly cares
Its gentle voices whisper love,
And mngle with our prayers.
Sweet hearts around us throb and beat.
Sweet helping hands are stirred,
And palpitates the veil between
With breathings almost heard.
The silence-awful, sweet and calm
They have.no power to break;
For mortal words are not for them
To utter or partake.
So thin. so soft, so sweet they glide,
So near to press they seem,-
They seem to lull us to our rest,
And melt into our dream.
And In the hush of rest they bring
How lovely and how sweet pass
The hour of death may be.
To close the eye, and close the ear,
Wrapped in trance of bliss,
And gently dream in loving arms
To swoon to that-from this.
Scarce knowing if we wake or sleep,
Scarce asking where we are,
To feel all evil sink away,
All sorrow and all care.
Sweet souls around us watch US still,
Press nearer to our side,
Into our thoughts, into our prayers,
With gentle helpings glide.
Let death between US be as naught,
A dried and vanished stream;
Your joy-be the reality,
Our suffering life the dream.

The late Senator Carpenter had rare
wit. In brief in one of the Lacrosse
railroad cases in the supreme court of
the United States he replied to the claim
of his adversary by saying that he knew
of but one possible authority that could
be urged in support of his claim and
that was from the Scriptures, which said
.that from him who hath not shall be
taken away even that which be hath,
but he added that never to his knowledge
had that principle been applied to the
rolling stock of a railroad company. A
well known Wisconsin lawyer, against
whom he was trying case, persisted IN
asking his witnesses leading questions.
Carpenter completely discounted him.
however, not, by formal objection, but by
dryly suggesting whether it would not
contribute to the orderly administration
of justice if his friend would at least
filter the evidence through the witnesses.
