A Young Mans Question,

One of our young correspondents 1--WE are
gratifed at having 80 many of them) says
he is just coming Of age, and wants us To
advise him as to which party in politics he
ought to join. We can only say, as we once
heard man say of st. Johnsbury's two
hotels" Whichever one you go to, you
will wish you had gone to the other" The
two old parties stand leaning against each
other like two dead trees. Once they were
full of the sap Of living issues now they
are worm-eaten and filled with gnawing in
sects in the form of politicians.
We say to our your friend, buy Bancroft's
History of the United States, the life and
writings of Thomas Jefferson, of Ben jamiu
franklin and of Abraham Lincoln. Make
these books study, and act in politics with
the organization that seems most likely tc
carry out the principles laid down in them
In our opinion no such organization now ex
lists Each of the old parties had worthy
origin in true democratic principles. The

THE HAY.FIELD.

Ia any season 20 bllthe and merry,
SO gay with fowers, or 80 sweet with song,
As that Of the rose and the riponed cherry,
When nights are tranquil and days are ong2
The earth has forgotten her time Of sadness,
The silence and shadows have passed away;
There Is nothing but universal gladness
Among the hay.
This is the season when lads and lasses
Are up botlmes in the sunny field;
When the swish Of the scythe lays low the grasses
And the passing hours new pleasures yield.
The time Of the festive sweet hay-making,
When the sporting laugh and the joyous word,
And the song Of grateful love partaklng
Are all day heard
why should we squander the hours in sIsblng
That things which are lovely do not stay9
That the dancing grasses so soon are dylng2
Let us be merry amid the hay.
There is time enough for the coming sorrow,
There s wealth of beauty around us yet
Let US use to-day and leave tomorrow,
Nor God forget
Blue and bright Ia the sky above us,
Sweet with flowers il the scented air;
All things whisper that God doth love us,
All sounds WOO us TO happy prayer.
The forest glades are with joy-songs ringing,
From morn to night Of the happy day
Let human voices TO him he singing
From fields Of hay.
Though far away are the days OF childhood,
or glad llght-heartedness, careless mlrth.
There is pleasure still in the field and wild wood
And JOY for all dwellers in Gods fair earth.
What does 1t matter that we grow older2
The best shall come when we pass away;

In the Alhambra.

One cannot linger in these exquisite halls
and courts, in which there is so much beauty
and such desolation, or stroll about the cir
cult of towers, so stern and warlike outside,
but decorated with such fairy work within,
without attempting in his mind to re-create
the splendid past. What must these halls
and chambers have been before time frayed
the stucco, and earthquakes cracked the
walls, when the colors were fresh and lus-
trous, when the walls were hung with the
tapestries of the east and the embroideries
of Timbuctoo, and the floors were soft with
the carpets of Fee, when luxurious divans
in the sculptured recesses invited to repose,
and the senses were lulled by the perfumes
OF swinging lamps, and the sound of tiny
fountains from which the water ran away
to the courts in marble conduits. It was
sensuous paradise, foretaste of all that the
Koran promises. When the Moor looked
down from these lofty windows over the
tree-tops TO the busy quarters of the Albay-
Gin, or across to the noble palace and gar
dens of the Generalife, and marked the Sc
curity of his position, and the strength of
his embattled walls, he might well deliver
himself TO a dream of unbroken voluptuous
repose. But the dream was broken forever
by the advent of the Christian conquerors.
The degradation of the Alhambra begins
from the moment of the Christian occupa.
tion. lncongruities introduced by people
whose faith was not softened by a sense
of beauty, marred the perfection OF the
Moorish creation. In any other place one
might be interested, il not excited by the
pomp and pageantry of the chivalry of
Spain which flowed through these halls even
if he did not join in the exultstion with
which the conquerors took possession of this
wonder of the world. Ths
conquerors are now only shades like the van
quished, and it has come to pass that the in.
terest of the world in this former palace of
enchantment, is not in any marks the vic
tors put upon it, but wholly in the reminis.
cences and relics of the race who were dis
possessed. Aud yet in the hour of victory,
in the moment of pride over the expulsion
of the Moslem, Ferdinand and Isabella
might have read, all over the walls, upon
the royal shields and on the capitals, the
Arabic legend, Wa Ia ghaiiba aa Alah-

ORANGE SoUFFLE.--Peel and slice six
oranges, put in glass dish layer of
oranges, then one of sugar, and 80 on until
all the oranges are used, and let stand two
hours make soft-boiled custard of yolks

with grating of orange peel for flavor, and

eggs TO a stiff froth, sweeten to taste and
pour over the top. Serve very cold.
