The mild blue eyes Of the care

with tears.

subdued tone, "and | am sure | do

MAIZE THE MOST OF THIS LIFE

Make the most of this life; where the shadow
repoSes
The beams of the summer shall cluster in
gce,
And the snow on the graves of the lilies and
Eut cradles the blossoms that whiten the
lea
Though the hopes of the heart be cncircled
with sorrow,
And billows of wrctchctlncss muttor and
roll
tiful morrow
The pleasures that gladden. the desolate soul.
Make the most of this life. where the carols
are sleeping
That rose in their rapture from lips of the
spring
weeping,
Sweet songs shall be sung by the birds on
the wing
Though the bosom be dark with the dirges of
And solitudcs gather so heavy and lone,
There shall float from the musical meadows
of gladncss
The ravishing measures that banisll each
Iroan,
Make the most of this life; tis a garden of
beauty,
Where, blushing, the blossoms grow ten
derby sweet
While they brighten the days of mans labor
and duty,
'Tis world that is wild with the laughter of
living,
When hands do the brotherly kindness
they can,
And its hearts are the treasures oftenderness
giving,
To soften and swceten the nature of man.
Make the most of this life; there is happiness
in it
When souls find Il theme for their jubilant
song;
There is music, when angels are taught to
begin it,
Who never were mantled with garments of
wrong.
There are voices that sing in their sweetness
forever,
And murmur no cadence Of battle or strife
Neither burden the hours with the pangs of
endcavor,
When We with our deeds, make the most
of this life.

near the door, and hurled 1t across
the room, shouting: "That dinner
must be on the table in five minutes.
Doyou hear"
His wife was standing near the
mantel, on which stood French
ormula clock, worth at least fifty dol
lars. Selling this in both hands, she
tossed it through the window, cry
ing:
"That dinner shall not be on the
table for half an hour"
The household tyrant was fairly
appalled,. Was this really the mild
and gentle-mannered wife he had
been in the habit of domineering
over and abusing all along? He
could scarcely credit his senses, and
pinched himself to see if it was not q
dream. But no, there she stood con-
fronting HIM, with such look in
her eyes that he really felt u little
cowed, and added in much lower
key:
"Come, now, this is getting intol-
erable-l must have my dinner. l
have got important business down
town that must be attended to. /"
81 don't care about your important
business and | shall not alter nv
plans to suit your convenience" vo-
ciferated his wife. "And you can 60
without your dinner if yon like, just
as must go without my dress. I'll
have you to know | am mistress of
the culinary department, and won't
have dinner until | am ready"
Forgetting the result of his former
movement in that line, he grasped
one end of the sofa. The result was
entirely unexpected and surpris-
ing. His wife seized a parian marble
vase, and hurled it, crashing through
the splendid pier glass-vase and
glass being at the best calculation,
worth two hundred and fifty dollars.
Mr.. Appidones Petts gasped Wild
ly at the havoc, and for three minutes
husband and wife glared at each
other in silence.
He had thought at first that she
was onl y acting part. But she was
fairly aroused now, and his look into
her eye plainly told him that she was
not acting now and she meant all she
said and aid. He felt in his inmost
soul, that the days of his tyranny
were ended, and, like wise soldier,
he surrendered at discretion.
"My DEAR" he said, in a tone so
mild she thought of courting days,
"will you please have dinner served 20
81 will on one condition."
"Name it."
''That you will promise never, so
long as you live, to exhibit another
fit Of passion"
Il promise"
And meek as Il lamb Mr.. Az
pidones Petts took his seat at tile
table aud ate his dinner.
"My DEAR" said he, as he put on
his overcoat to go out, Il will bring
that dress home tonight"
"And while you are about it you
might as we'll bring home that bon
net | admired so much at Madam
Argaud's," said his wife, desiring to
test him farther.
Il will bring it," was his response,
as he closed the hall door--not with
d bang, but very gently.
And he did The cure was COM
pietc. The tyrant had abdicated his
throne forever, and Mrs. Eastman
claimed all the credit.
"If I had not suggested the only
remedy you would have been a slave
to this day." said she, and her sister
could not galnsay it.

Mrs. Petts fixed her eyes upon the
carpet and was silent.

And she began to weep softly.
BY degrees Mrs Eastman learned
the whole story. Her CALCULATIONS
during the recital were anything bnt
complimentary to the master Of the
house, and when her sister had con.
cluded, she said :
"Why in the world do You endure
all this? If you have particle OF
woman's pride about you, don't see
how you can. l wouldn't assure
YOU"

quired Mrs. Petts.
"By fighting fire with fire." was
the reply. "If Mr.. Petts flies into a
passion, fly in passion yourself. If
he scolds at you, scold back at him,
as only woman can. If he bangs
around the furniture and slams the
doors after him, bang around and
slam the doors yourself. Beat him
at his own game, that's the wsy.'
Mrs. Petts could not forbear laugh
ing.
Il tell you Eve tried it," SAID Mrs.
Eastman, grimly, ''and it worked to a
charm. Mr.. Eastman tried the same
game with me that Appidones is find
ing successful with yon, but he didn't
try it long. He wouldn't give it up
though, until, to be even with him, I
had to swear, in copying his example,
and then he caved. Try this plan,
and my word fo- it, the lion will soon
be changed to the lamb"
Mrs. Pctts was reluctant, but her
sister at last extorted a promise that
she would at least give this practical
homeopathy fair trial.
"Almost noon" said Mrs. East
ham. "Well, I'll go back to Dora's
to-day, for you must begin the trial

Mr.. Appidones Petts came home to

Gen. George II. Mcclellan.

A disappointed and disappointing life is
brought to a sudden close by the departure
Of Gen. Mcclellan. Twenty-four years ago
he was the most conspicuous figure on this
continent. He had organized, drilled, dis
oiplined, and equipped a magnificent army ;
had inspired 1t with boundless confidence in
its leader, and the people Of the loyal states
confidently hoped he would lead it to a
series Of victories which would result In the
early suppression of the rebellion and the
restoration Of the Union.
We have neither space nor inclination to
review the events Of the months that fol-
lowed, to recall the disasters, the disap-
pointments, the slow dying out OF conf
dence In the military capacity OF him who
had so lately been enthroned as the nations
idol. lie who had been so great in prcpar-
ing from crude material the splendid and
seemingly invincible army Of the Potomac !;
he who had won the enthusiastic admira-
ton and love Of the army and the people,
was destined TO lead that army to fields OF
useless slaughter and to wiring the hearts ot
the people with pangs that, even after the
lapse of almost a generation, are recalled
with agoniziDg emotions.
In the summer of 1864, when the rebel
lion was already staggering toward its col
lapse, Gen. Mcclellan, at that time In the
walks of private life, accepted the presi-
dental nomination of the Democratic party
on platform which declared the war a
failed experiment demanded cessation of
hostilities, and called fora peace convention.
Gen. Mcclellan was a man of pure per-
sonal character, honorable in all the rcla-
tions of business, social, and domestic life.
1t was his misfortune and the greater mis-.
fortune of the country, but not the fault OF
him or the government, that he failed ut
terly and deplorably as commander of the
army in actual war.

Retrospect!

On the 9th of September last
we flung our banner to thu
breeze. We did so without the
slightest fear as to the result
We we'll knew we had to deal
with q discriminating and INTEL
ligent people-a people quick to
decide between brag and bluster
on the one hand, and the naked
truth on the other. We promised
our people relief from the grasp
ing, avaricious octopus of high
prices. How faithfully we have
so far redeemed that promise we
leave it with those who have
honored us with their patronage
to say. We, of course. expected
to succeed in time; but seven
weeks have barely elapsed and
our most sanguine hopes have
been more than realized. We
find ourselves "bowling before
the wind, every sail set and bell
lying with the breeze" Day
after day and week after week
have we had to replenish, fill in,
and close up the immense gaps
made in our superb stock of Fine
Clothing for Men and Boys by the
constant rush of purchasers. Our
buyer has just re turn d from
New York, and the result of his
visit to the market is as follows: {:
