On the Hills.


On the hills of Pride, where cold am
bition
Thirsts for power with streaming banner
wide unfurled
Thirsts for power to humble in submits
sion
All the broad outlying kingdoms of the
world.
Self is sovereign there, and woe to
others
If they bow not down and worship at his
shrine;
Love is there, but not the love of
brothers;
Hope is only bright with yotiye corn and
winel
On the hills of Pride, but bleak winds
blowing,
Freeze the lazy life-blood of the starving
soul,
And earth's largest gifts of wealth in
flowing,
Only block the way to lifes sublimcst
goal
They may seem Is towers in fancy
story
Lifting up to heights serene with sum-
mer glow,
But they show no open door to glory
They are hcadands, wooing to the world
of woe!

Could magic chain be found to bind
Loving heart To kindred mind
In bonds of friendship strong and pure,
That test Of time might well endure;
Oh! | would search the world around
Until those priceless links were found.
With joyful haste their power I'd test.
Binding to mine each genial Breast
Though good and ill-in veal and woe
Should kindly sympathy bestow,
A charm to soothe; oh, not in vain,
Would possess such magic chain
But time to mortal is denied
What more than gold had satisfied
My ycarning heart, send to you-
Token of friendship, strong, and true,
As earth may boast-a golden chain,
Though glittering toy, found not in vain.
Its links are firm, its metal true,
And strong It's wrought, but vet marx
you,
It's not so weighty as to be
Aught of Il burden unto thee.
Then near your heart this gift send;
Wear token true from faithful friend.
May hasty-footcd time but show
He cannot dim pure friendships glow;
Loves gift guard time; time faithful
prove,
While passing years but strengthen love
Their power uniting, not in vain,
Prove friendship true, a magic chain.

In a Pennsylvania smelter.

The furnace lifts its walls of black,
A stubborn bulk from end to end;
And through the grimy chimney stack
Continual flame and smoke ascend
The night comes down with wind and
hail,
A shelving cloud, an icy rain;
The timbers creak in every gale,
The tempest howls at every pane.
Delicious core of rosy hoa,,
Alluring shelter, huge and warm,
TO beggars drenched in snow and sleet,
The drifting outcasts of the storm!
At that wide door rude shapes appear
In one thick swirl of humming snow ;
With mirth and jest and savage cheer
The hours of darkness come and go!
No cover this for chosen friends,
No happy roof of man and maid;
A chimney hot for larger ends,
A hearth for ruder purpose laid;
All night their sweltering fires are fed,
Their mighty bellows roar again,
Who keep the dusky FORCES red,
With brawny labor-saving men.
The black-browed idlers, struggling in,
The hardy miners, tough and tall,
The knotty foreman, scared of skin,
This generous roof receives them all
The voices rise, the men retreat
Tumultuous clamor strikes the town,
When, white with overpowering heat,
The molten mass comes pouring down

A GREAT woMAH's CoLLEGE.-Thos.
Holloway is a very rich Englishman
who is now building the largest
woman's college on the globe. 1t is
being erected as an offering of res
pect to the memory of his dead
wife. The location is at Mount Lee,
near Windsor Park, not far from
London. 1t comprises ninety-six
acres of beautifully located ground.
The building is to be rectangular in
form, measuring $40 feet from east
to west, and 376 from north to
south. The plan is simple, consist
ing, of two long blocks each six
stories high, running parallel to
each other and connected in the
middle and at either end by lower
cross buildings. There are to be ac-
commodations for 800 students, each
having two rooms. Every sanitary
provision has been observed in the
construction of the building, which
is now near completion. This insti
tuition is designed to give suitable
education to women of the middle
classes. Every student is to be al
lowed to have complete freedom OIL
religious matters but the interna
government will be that of an order
" Christian household. The tota
endowment of Mr.. Holloway wi
amount to about 100000. In tn
past the education Of women wa
considered of minor importance
but this college for women vii
when completed, be the costilie
institution of learning ever brougl
into being by a single henefaeto
No worthier tribute could he pa

THE habit of dissipating every
serious thought 10y a succession of
agreeable sensations, is as fatal to
happiness as to virtue; for when
amusement is uniformly substituted
for objects of moral and mental in
terest, we lose all that elevates our
enjoyments above the scale of child
ish pleasures.-A. NJ. Porter.

THE desire of power in excess
caused angels to fall the desire of

A wIFE's LoyE.-Womans love,
like the rose poisoning in the arid
desert, spreads its rays over he bar
rem plain of the human heart and
while all around it is black and
desolate, it rises strengthened from
the absence of every other charm.
In no situation does the love of a
woman appear more beautiful than
that of wife. Parents, brethren,
and friends have claims upon the
affections-but the love of wife is
of a distinct and different nature.
A daughter may yield her life to the
preservation of a parent-a sister
may devote herself to suffering
brother; but the feelings which in
duce it are not those which lead a
wife to follow the husband of her
choice through every pain and
peril that can befall him, to watch
him in danger, to cheer him in adj
versity, and ever remain unalterable
at his side in the depths of ignominy
and shame. 1t is heroic devotion
which woman displays in adher
ence to the fortunes of naples
husband. When we behold her il
domestic scenes a mere passing crea
ture of enjoyment, an intellectual
Joy, Frightening the family with he
endearments and love for extreme
Joy, which that presence and thos'
endearments are calculated to i'm
part, we can scarcely credit that tn
fragile being who seems to hold he
existence by thread is capable 0
supporting the extreme of humai
suffering-nay, when the heart Q
man sinks beneath the weight c
agony, that she would maintain
pristine powers OF delight, and b,
her words OF comfort and patience
lead the murmurer to peace an,
resignation.
