THE SUNNY HOME.

THE SUN N 7 HUME.
| know room where sunshine fingers,
and there is a breath of summer and
mignonette in the air when think of it.
There tired man comes home and throws
off overcoat and hat without looking to
see what becomes of them. There is a
broad table in the light. strewn with pa
pers and magazines, woman's work, with
litter of rose leaves dropping over them
from central vase. There is a wide
sofa of the days of the Georges. fresh
covered in chintz, with ferns and hair
bells for patterns. and tired man goes
down there with great rufled pillow
under his shoulders, opens parcels and
letters, dropping them on the floor as the
most natural place for them. Agirl had
been painting, and her water colors and
papers lay on a side table, just as she
left them to run for an impromptu ride.
| have never been able to discover any
disarrangement of the household econo-

shawl on chair. There. will be nothing
said about it at breakfast next morning.
There are no laws against playing with
curtain tassels, no regulations as to how
often the snowy curtains may be put up
or left down. They do not last the sea-
son out, crisp and speckless, as the neigh
bors do across the way, but the only con-
sequence is that they are ofteDer new
and clean. There is nothing very fine
about the house, but things look bright
er and are renewed oftener than in other
houses. The chairs have no particular
places, and anybody feels at liberty to
draw out the sofa when it pleases him.
There is no primness about the place. If
there is grass on the lawn, it is meant to
be walked on, and the geraniums are
fondled and petted and caressed as if
they were children. Do you know there
is magnetism in green leaves and grow
ing flowers derived from the earth's heart

where one dares to breakfast. There is
no ceremony of waiting. Coffee and
cakes are put away where they will keep
hot; the table is cleared to suit the con-
venience of the housekeeper, and small

shine under your chamber door, if you

There is an unwritten law of convenience
for the household which regulates better
than any code Napoleonic. And the ben

themselves is that they are much better

THE VALLEY OF SILENCE.

walk down the Valley of Silence.
Down the dim, voiceless Valley alone;
And hear not the fall of a footstep
Around me-save Gods and my own;
And the hush of my heart is as holy
AS hovers when angels have flown.
Long ago was weary of voices
Whose music my heart could not win
Long ago was weary of noises
That fretted my soul with their din
Long ago was weary of places
Where met but the Humankind sin.
walked through the world with the worldly;
craved what the world never gave;
And said, in the world each ideal
That shines like star on lfe's wave,
Is tossed on the shores of the Real,
And sleeps like dream in the grave.
And still did pine for the Perfect.
And still found the false with the true;
I sought mid the human for heaven.
But caught mere glimpse OF the blue,
And wept when the clouds of mortal
Yelled even that glimse from my view.
And toiled on, heart tired OF human;
And moaned mid the masses of men,
Till knelt long at an altar.
And heard voice call me-since then
walked down the Valley of Silence
That is far beyond mortal ken.
Do you ask what found in the Valley?
'Tis my trysting place with the Divine;
And fell at the feet of the Holy,
And above me voice said, ''Be mine."
And there rose from the depth of my spirit
The echo-"My heart shall be thine"
Do you ask how live in the Valley7
weep and dream and pray;
But my tears are as sweet as the dew-drops
That fall on the roses in May;
And my prayers. like perfume from censers,
Ascendeth to God night and day.
In the hush Of the Valley of Silence
dream all the songs that 1 sing;
And the music floats down the dim Valley
Till each finds word for wing.
That to men, like the dove of the deluge
The message Of peace they may bring
But far on the deep there are pillows
That never shall break on the beach,
And have heard the songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech;
And have dreams in the Valley
Too lofty for language 10 reach.
Do you ask me the place In the Valley,
Ye hearts that are narrowed by care?
1t lies far away bet ween mountains,
And God and His angels are there;
And one is the dark Mount of Sorrow
And one the bright Mountain of Prayer.

COMFORT ONE ANOTHER.

Comfort one another;
For the way is growing dreary.
The feet are often weary,
And the heart is very sad.
There is hea, burden-bearing,
When it seems that none are caring,
And we half forget that ever we were glad.
Comfort one another;
With the hand-clasp close and tender,
With the sweetness love can render,
And the looks of friendly eyes.
Do not wait with grace unspoken,
While lfe's daily bread is broken,
Gentle speech is oft like mamma from the skies.
Comfort one another;
There are words of music ringing
Down the ages, sweet as singing
OF the happy choirs above.
Ransomed saint and mighty angel
Lift the deep-voiced evangel.
Where forever they are praising the Eternal Love.
Comfort one another;
By the hope Of Him who sought us
In our peril-Him who bought US,
Paying with His precious blood;
By the faith that will not alter,
Trusting strength that shall not falter,
Leaning on the One Divinely Good.
Comfort one another;
Let the gravegloom lie behind you,
While the Spirits words remind you
OF the home beyond the tomb.
Where no more is pain or parting,
Fever's flush or tear-drop starting,
But the presence of the Lord, and for all His peop

STORIES OF ANDREW
JACKSON.

When Jackson was president, Jimmy
O'Nelll, the Irish doorkeeper of the
white house, was a marked character.
He had his foibles, which often offended
the fastidiousness of the presidents
nephew and secretary, Major Donelson,
who caused his dismissal on an average
of about once a week. But on appeal
to the higher court the verdict was al
ways reversed by the good nature of the
old general Once, however, Jimmy was
guilty of some fragrant offence. and be-
ing summoned before the president him
self was thus addressed: Jimmy, 1

"Pshaw, Jimmy" concluded the gen.
eral, ''clear out, and go back to your du-
ty, but be more careful hereafter" Jim
my not only retained his place to the
close of Jackson's presidential term, but
accompanied him back to the Hermitage
and was with him to the day of his death.
Gen Jackson had very little love or
taste for poetry, mis- favorite author
being DR.. Isaac Watts, from whose
"Psalms and Hymns" he used to make
his selections for the inscriptions in the
ladies' albums which we're once so fash
ionable, when they were sent to him
with request for his autograph.
1t is said that while president he
never drank any ardent spirits. This
was corroborated by his negro servant,
who said that "Massa Jackson no drink
rum, but then he drink his coffee strong

A Correspondent severely Criticises Mr..
Mngie's Opinions-Ingenious Reasoning,
To the Editor of The Herald
recent number of the HERALD con-
tanned letter written by James h, Magic,
which was originally published in the Chi
cago Times. In his letter Mr.. Magic
frankly coniesses that he is puzzled and
all mixed up over this balance-of,trade the
ory." He seems, however, TO have a strong
opinion that we must buy more than We
sell if we would attain wealth and be happy;
and he cannot see how a reverse state of az
/ airs would keep us from ultimate bank
ruptcy. Let us take practical view of the
question: Farmer A sells the yearly pro-
ducts of his farm for $1,000 while his gross
expenditures are 5000 per annum. b, the
manufacturer, turns out and sells $1,000
worth of goods annually, while his gross
outlay is $4,000 per year. The ledger of
G, the merchant, shows that his yearly pur-
chases are $4,000, and his sales are $3.50
900. Suppose the business transactions of
A, b and C were reversed for series of
years, how long would A retain his farm, Il
his factory and c his store? And yet they
all three sell more than they buy!
Our trade with Brazil for the fiscal year of
1880 was, imports, SOL ,9S0,97l, and
exports, $sG05,3i6, leaving a balance
in favor of Brazil of $i3,375, CPS. According
to Mr.. Alagie's theory, as we bought much
more of the Braziians than we Fld them,
the balance of trade was in our favor If
the balance was on the same side of the
sheet with all the other countries with
whom we trade, and for the like amount to
each one, as il was with Brazil in 1880, it
would take n period Of less than twenty
years for the rest of the world to own the
entire United States, placing the value at
fifty thousand million dollars.
But happily for us, our total foreign trade
for the fiscal year ending June Both, 1880,
was, imports, $7GO,9S9, 056, and exports, 49,
Isl ,577; our imports included S93,04, $40 Of
gold and silver coin and bullion. The bal
ance of trade in our favor, the above years,
was $9l, 1881, which the various .coun-
tries gave us credit for, and the above credit
has been largely drawn upon by American
travellers in Europe, and other ways that do
not show ut the Custom-house. In few
words, the United States is a grand stock
company, and each citizen is stakeholder
thereof in proportion to the amount ofprop-
erty he owns. This stock company sold Of
the surplus products oft farms and facto-
ries, in the year 1850, just $9l, 1881 more
than it purchased. ORC FINo,

Stop II.

There is hardly night but that the peace
able, law-abiding citizens of Dallas are dis
turbed by the roughs who fire off their pis-
tolls, not only to the great annoyance Of the
neighborhood in which they chance to be,
butat the risk ofthe lives ofpersons who may
be in shooting range. The practice IS get
ting very common and exceedingly obnox-
ious, and il is high time that such parties,
be they so-called "bloods, or whoever they
may he, were ierked up by the police and
punished to the full extern of the law. This
shooting is generally done by parties who
ride high horse and whose neckties cost
them more than their education ever
did or will. They are big likes in their
own estimation, and just so long as the
officers let them have their way they will
have it. Let the officers arrest a few and
make an example of them, and this species
of ruffiansm will cease.
