THE LAST LOOK.

Ohi dewy fields upon the distant hills, Across the waters reach how fair they lie, Unto the sight how quietly they spread, How stilly grow and ripe. As days so by see them softly answer to the sky For shower and sun, light cloud and heightened
 rain
 For all the bounty from that largeness shed; Uplifting to its face their glistening sheen, Their rich h-own tints their fbers firmly spun, The first young freshness of their vivid green, The gold wEite of their ripeness. Ahl the light Dies softly Der them with the set of sun. Good night, O fields, good night. am aweary now of all my work, Of vain endeavor, of success hard won And hardly held. Oh, peace the evening falls, The coolness, quiet, soft oblivion. lay me down to rest, my toll is done. It is so good to sleep and be renewed, The morning is sweet. When morning calls will lift up my eyes again and be Able for joy. When new the daylight fills The air, my freshened vision glad will see Fair slopng to the misty thther beach The dewy fields upon the distant hills Across the waters reach.

For n Youne- CoupIe.

What is needed to insure larger degree of happiness in this world is moral independence and moral principle. The notion that the end is attained when the altar is reached is al- most criminal mistake. That is not the end; it is only the beginning. As a rough farmer once said, ''to marry and love each other for few months Is as easy as rolling off log; but to love each other right along for forty years, up hill and down, we'll, it's quite job"
 There is hard work before young couple They must get used to each other, make mutual concessions, get their plans, aims, interests to work smoothly in double har- ness. There is too much kicking in the traces, too strong desire to have one's own way, too little forbearance, an insistence upon one's rights, but a forgetfulness of ones duties.
 Then it is we'll to remember that at 25 you can't have what you will perhaps be able to buy when you are 50, if you are economicaL Young people spend too freely, are unwilling to pinch themselves in order to have Q sur: plus, delight in show, and are apt to live beyond their means. New York Herald

Nuisance of obsolete forms which
yitiates the modernness of sympathy
SO necessary to healthful work; the
endless trucking and decking of little
thoughts; the apparent unconscious
ness of whether ones thought be
large or little, or whether it be worth
thinking at all, or if worth thinking,
whether worth thinking in poetry
these qualities characterize so much
of the verse of our day that one may
be pardoned for becoming more aware
of them than of some other and bet
ter traits which undoubtedly accom-
pany them. 1t may be said that
there is certain loss of the sense of
proportion in our poetic power. By
this | mean that higher proportion
which is to proportion of form as the
soul is to the human body. We do
not build loftily. We do not live to
last. We do not always know why
we build at all. The result is a lack
of architecture. But we have plenty
of verse-carpentering done as neatly
as the service of Adam Bede, who
thought the world was to be saved by
conscientious days labor. But the
paper cap of the workman looks over
the whole job.

Practical Hints for American
Homes.

bioiiiSos
Necessity is the mother of inven-
ton, and by no means an unkind
mother: for practical economy is al
ways blessing; one dollar in the
hands of bright intelligent woman
is worth five, yes, ten in the fingers
of an extravagant woman.
Young men are beginning to
realize this, and the extravagant girl
with nothing but little money to
recommend her stands no comparison
to the energetic girl who takes pride
in trying to economic. For by her
thrift and industry she will soon save
her husband fortune, while the ex-
travagant girl would soon squander
her own fortune and her husbands
income until they have nothing left.
A lady friend of mine converted an
unsightly looking white ash dining
table, chairs and sideboard into
things of beauty, desirable to look
upon, by simply removing the old
varnish by means of sandpaper and a
knife, then staining with a package
of red diamond dye dissolved in
pint of boiling water, and then var
nished with coach varnish.
A few days ago 1 stood admiring a
cherry rocker with plush bottom,
when lucky fortune suggested the
staining, vanishing, and upholster-
ing of an old rocker which | had.
After the woodwork was finished |

cloth, then built on this foundation

covered this with a stout cloth nailed
snugly over. The cover was then
tackled on with gilt braid and tacks.

the slumber pillow was fastened to

the whole effect was simply charming.
The terror of ironing day is done
away with entirely if big stool is
furnished to sit on, the clothes rack
within your reach behind you, one
end of your ironing board over the
gasoline stove and the other on the
back of your chair on which you have
piled your sprinkled clothes, the
basket of dry clothes underneath the
the board. Hours of constant IRON

VIRGINIA OF VIRGINIA. BY Amelie
Rives, author of GA Brother to
Dragons " and "The Quick or the
Dead?" Illustrated. New York:
Harper & Bros.
Virginia of Virginia. is a wild,
untutored little savage, who falls in
love with polished gentleman of the
world. Virginia is beautiful, bril-
liant, unpublished, illiterate girl, but
realizes that in her rival, beautiful,
gentle woman, she has a rival with
whom she has no power to compete.
Virginia straddled the horse she rode
and rode like the wind, her rival, in a
well fitting habit, rode nearly as we'll,
but yet erode like a lady," She
appeals to her father about the proper
method of horseback riding, and he
says che hated to see woman
warm boots like a man, an shirts at
hart marst when she goes out on
hawseback. Lawd! / cert'n'y do
'spise ter see woman hitched onter
tn side Nv er hawse like a pecker-
wood a-stickin' ter rer tree trunk"
She soliloquizes on the subject of her
personal charms: cit was / o'clock
that same night. Virginia Herrick
leaned with round, bare arms on the
table, above which hung a little OBJ
long, old-fashioned mirror, in a
warped mahogany frame. The one
candle on little bracket at her right
hand brought out the clear tones in
her face and throat and arms, and
dived wildly into her masses of
loosened hair; Beyond her was a
background of vague shadow. She
looked from the furnished mirror like
painting in frame. Her eyes were
somber and heavy under their dark
lids. The time passed on.
A rat began an intermittent nibbling
in the old wainscoting of the room !;
sharp, sudden noises were heard over
head; the fire died out in tinkling
silence; a heavy shroud of semi
transparent tallow wrapped the one
candle. Two O'Clock had sounded
through the hollow depths of the old
house some time ago. Suddenly she
spoke. Il wisht | knew eff | war
pretty she said. Then, with pas
sionate reiterance, Il wisht | knew eff
l war pretty The cat, hearing her
voice, leaped again beside her, as if
to answer; again she swept him to
the floor. The soft cushioned thud
of her feet against the bare boards
sounded distinctly upon the silence,
so alert to catch every noise. ooh, l
wisht-I visit | knew eff l war pretty
she said once more" She finally
tries to poison her rival, but repents
and nurses her back to life and con-
fesses to her lover, who is shocked.
She then rescues his horse from a
burning barn and is killed in the
struggle.

Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1888-09-15

Miss Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, writ
ing in the September Century on
Edward Rowland Sill, gives this little
bit of criticism on the verse writing
of to-day: "In our own immediate
times verse-writing has become some
thing more of the nature of disease
than of an honor. A species of
rhymophobia pervades the cultivated
world. Like the bite of the bitten
victim, fashionable forms of construc-
ton extend. There is contagion in
them. The strain for effect has be-
come virulent. We feel, perforce, a
sympathy with the half-playful but
wholly earnest revolt of DR.. Holmes
against the epidemic character of our
debilitated verse. That overbal-
anced struggle for perfection of man
ner which stiles the spirit; the re-
Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1888-09-15
