TO A PAIR OF ANTIQUE AND
IRONS.

Warm friends of mine with gay est mien
The Fire-fiend on thy polished sheen
Reflects his visage weird and keen;
He dances in the golden light
That fills my study warm and bright,
What tho the storm doth rule the night!
Let it rage!
OF olden time you we'll could sing
OF days now fed on Times feet wing.
While twining mem'ries round you cling
Oh! tell me of that vanished time,
OF Faith and Love in every cline,
And wreathe it into ringing rhyme,
Louda and clear!
The red logs fitful shadows throw;
Like rubies up the chimney 20
The whirring sparks with ruddy glow;
Tho fierce or soft, tho feet or slow
What matter how the north winds blow
And what care we for drifting snow!
Let it rage.
While all the world is cold and drear
And snow begrayes the dead old year,
Sweet visions of the past appear;
A host of fancies round me plays,
Elysian dreams Of bygone days,
Fled, like the mist OF mountain haze
Far away.
The breath of Mem'ry near me sighs,
see the depth of summer skies,
gaze into my lady's eyes;
This joy to thee, my friends, owe,
watch the shadows come and go,
What tho the north wind drifts the snow

TERMS: Two Dollars Per Annum, in Advance,

with many things which we have known
but now forgotten. From the depth
of my heart I can reciprocate all the
compliments you shavespaid me and
more, for really do not believe that
that any other woman ever had a hRs-
band so true, so devoted, so noble.
The SHOWS of forty-two winters have
fallen upon us since we were married
and we have had sorrows, but the joys
have outnumbered them, and for all this
we should give thanks to our Heavenly
Father, who has so carefully watched ov-
er and protected us, and still greater
thanks for the confident assurance we
have that he has provided home for
us and for our children, where we shall
soon be united.

Street-Car Politeness.

"Have you noticed" asked one gen.
tleman of another in New York ele-
waited railway car the other day, in the
hearing of Tribune scribe, ''that men
are less courteous to women than for
merly? See how many women arc
standing while the seats are filled with
men who look like gentlemen. You
and I can remember when such thing
could not have been seen in any car
filled with respectable persons. Are
we becoming less polite as people?'
II think" was the reply, ''that in
real politeness and in Difference to
women we are not losing ground,
though have noticed the change that
you speak of, in some of its outward
manifestations. 1t has been gradual
and not without well-detined cause.
Women are themselves responsible for
it. BY their manner they seem to de-
mand as right what men are only too
glad to confer as gift, and what they
expect to be received as such. After y
man has given up his seat in car a
few times without receiving word or
even a smile of thanks he usually
thinks it about time to stop. 1t is
amazing how rude a woman can be in
public conveyance who in private
circles is the very soul of grace and
cannot receive the smallest attention
without prompt acknowledgment.
"a few days ago saw young wom-
an enter a car at Grand street accom-
panied by a young man. A gentleman
Immediately rose and gave her his
Iah ck,n OF
person sitting next to her left the car,
and the gentleman who had relin-
quished his seat was about to take the
vacant one, when the young woman
moved over into it, motioning to her
companion to take hers. think that
gentleman will be less prompt in his
courtesy in future.
'Do you see that woman over there
with the ten-year-old lad by her side?
When she came into the car few sta
tions back gentleman gave her his
seat. At the next station the seat by
her was vacated and she pulled her
boy into it. Women were standing in
front of her at the time, but she saw no
reason why her boy should be sacri-
feed for them. Do you ever see
woman request child of hers to get
up and give his seat to a womanp l
have seen such a thing once in awhile,
but not often. Men are as essentially
polite as ever, according to my obser-
vation; they are simply learning the
lesson women teach them, and discrim-
mate as to the times and places where
they can exercise their politeness with
out wasting it."
