Surrounded as by golden link,
What moro need woman ask
The golden links of home aud joy
In each house-mothers heart,
True happiness, without alloy.
Must form of life part.
Through broader fields may stretchfrom hom
Apathway bright and fair,
Where woman's feet may freely roam
Untranmellcd by homo care.

Nor nobler mission meet,
Than loving care for kith and kin,
And home life pure and sweet.

EVOLUTION OF THE PEN.

In the days OF parchment and papy-
rus pens were unknown, because there
WINS no need for them. The ink was az
thick then as printing ink now IL, aud
a brush was the thing with which to
apply the Ink TO the parchment. To
the present day the Chinese still use "A
brush for this purpos az also do most
OF the Oriental nations. But the inven-
ton or paper Decessitated more delicate
touches than conld have been made
with a brush, and the first effort TO meet
the need was & split reed. For long
time this answered the purpose, but
when greater nicely was demanded the
goOsequill was Iresse'i into service, and
tor agcs supplied the demand.
During the last century mary efforts
were made TO improve on the quill, the
necessity Of constantly mendiIg it be-
ing found a drawback TO its use, but all
was unavailinR The attempts were
principally directed to fitting the points
with tOme substance harder than the

and even diamond and ruby bsing tried,
but all to no purpose. In the first year
Of the present century pens began to be
made entirely OF metal, and the sur.
