AN A LULLABY.

A moonbeam hoateth from the skies,
Whispering. "HeighO, my dearie;
I would spin a web before your eyes
A beautiful web of silver Light
Wherein is many . wondrous sight
OF a radiant garden leagues away,
Where the softly tinkling lilies way
And the snow white lambkins are at play
Heigho, my dearier'
A brownie stealeth from the vine
Singing, "Iieigho. my dearie;
And will you hear this song of mine
A song of the land Of murk INT mist
Where bideth the bud the dew hath kist7
Then let the moonbeag's web Of light
Be spun before thee sISery white,
And l shall sing the livelong night
Heigho, my dearie!'
The night wind speedeth from the sea,
Murmuring. "Heigho, my dearie;
/ bring a mariners prayer for thee;
So let the moonbeam veil thine eyes,
And the brownies sing thee lullabies-
But / shall rock thee TO and fro,
Kissing the brow he loveth so,
And the prayer shall guard thy bed. / trow-
Heisho, my dearie."

On the authority of DR.. Fraser Halle,
it is quite possible for a man TO see his
own brain. Fifty years have elapsed
since Purkinge observed that by pass.
ing a candle to and fro several times by
the side of the eye the air in front was
transformed into a sort of screen, on
which was reflected what was then sup
posed to be "a magnified image of part
of the retina.' Sir &. then Mr.
Wheatstone believed il TO be the
shadow Of the vascular network. 80
Mayo thought il IA Fan image Of the
blood vessels Of the retina." Sir Ben
jamin Brodie said that il was 20 him
really incoInprehensible BY means of
more careful drawings DIR. Fraser Halle
resumed the exploration and succeeded
in identifying the picture with the rep
resentation of the anterior lobe of the
cerebrum."
The picture consists, he has long OBJ
served. of red -convolutions with dark
i~uterspaces. aIuung which "A whitisb
admiXture il sometimes visible. These,
he says, constitute exactly the image
of folds Of the interior lobe Of the
brain with the burrows between them.
The candle should be moved TO and
fro about four inches below the eye
and three and a quarter inches from
the face. When the movement ceases
the undulatiOns of course also cease
and the image disappears. a reddish
mist appears first, and the image is
soon developed and defined. Night ia
the best time for it, bur it can be seen
in a dark place family in the daytime.

A down town music store i'm Lewis
ton was surprised on Friday at the en-
trance of a tramp-a ragged, veteran
tramp. who said that he was not vicious,
but only unfortunate. what made
you come into a music store?' asked
the proprietor. The thin cheeks of the
tramp flushed as he said, Il am a mu-
sician. Having said that he played
the violin they handed him one, and
he laid a loving cheek against the fid-
die and drew a bow of finished power
ACROSS the trembling strings. For half
an hour he played to a rapt audience,
preluding with the skill of the impro-
visator and weaving the theme into
many an airy fancy of the strings
Sometimes he marched up and down
the floor playing and talking.
A new light vas born IN his eye. His
rags were forgotten by all who saw him.
His cheeks were flushed and his gray
nair was tossed back by an impetuous
wave of his head. In the imagery of
the strings were palaces Of delight and
strange visions of wasted hopes and
years. In the pleading voice of the vio-
lin one heard a voice of long ago.. a
mothers tone and a baby's cry. That's
all right, " said he, as he laid it down
and a silence fell upon all around,
broken by the %querulous voice of the
tramp as he said, "Gim'me the price Of

an entirely different piece and fell fat
the author then tried it at intervals of
six months and "a year with two other

Lastly, because there was not time to
write a new overture, it was used with
a long forgotten farce called Poet and
Peasant" The farce was successful,
and people endured the overture. Then
somebody asked permission to publish
It in a journal, arranged for the piano.
Soon everybody vas playing it. Then

Home Life.

From the Christian Advocated
Some men are too busy to give any
time to their wives and children. They
leave home early in the morning, stay
away all day, and come back at night
filed with worldly cares, morose ana
uncommunicative. II il is ever sug-
gested to them that they are doing
wrong, they justify themselves on the
ground that it is necessary for them TO
make a living, and that this leaves
them no time for other things. Usually
the plea is without foundation; for IL Is
not merely a comfortable living that
they are seeking after, but the accumu-
Iation of needless wealth. Any man
that is too busy to DO a gentleman in
his manners and Christian IN ms
spirit within the circle of his own home'
is buster than he ought to be.
But men are not the only sinners IN
this respect. Some women are equally
guilty. Their life at best is full OF cares
Nothing can make 1t easy. But many
OF them make it great deal harder
than is necessary by assuming fooish
drudgeries that could easily be avoided
The woman who loads herself down
with unnecessary tasks, ana theh
mal<es this fact an excuse for neglect
ing her husband, is too busy. III no IL
sensible man, he will not make unrea-
sonable demands upon her time; but
on the other hand, II he is good man.
he cannot utterly dispense with her
companionship. Any Indifference on
his part in regard to this matter 10 the
worst of signs.
ira woman does not relish the COM.
pany of her husband more than any
thing else in the world, it proves one or
the other of two things: either he ~ TOO
far below the level of her intellectual
and spiritual life to contribute any
thing to her happiness, or else he ia so
high above her that she cannot Att ber-
self up to him. Perhaps third suppo-
sition is admissible: both may be right
, minded folks in their way, and yet they
may have utterly failed to get any az :
iustment to each other.
For husband and wife simply 10
. live under the same roof and TO eat at
the same table, but to be without COM
mon aims and profound and deepen
ing love, is to miss all that Is best In
married life. If they could but see IT.
j they are putting away from themselVes
the divinest Joys that the world can
! offer. AS they grow older, they are
y sure also to grow harder, colder, mar
O rover; and 1t is a wonder II their clos
: ing years are not embittered by dissen
q sions and sLrifes of the most unseemlJ
character.
a To apply the foregoing: Let all bus
u bands determine to give some part o
every day to their wives and childrei
a and to be sweet-tempered, polite, an'
n agreeable in the home circles lot al
wives make 1t point 10 withdraw q
10 least a little season of each day from
petty cares for the purpose of having
~ confidential talk with thor husbands

EDITOR HERALD:-In your paper
of August 14th you call on the under
signed to answer certain questions.
You state that Governor buchanan
and the Hon. JnO. III. Mcdowell say:
at Is the purpose of the Alliance to
make certain political demands, and
the duty of the minority to acquiesce
and support the action of the ma
jority." &C.,,
these gentlemen in their individual
capacity, being merely suggestive,
and not binding on any member or
the order, as it is not sanctioned by
any article or section in FOUR state OF
National Constitution.
The views of Messrs. Buchanan,
Mcdowell and Terrill, can either be
accepted or rejected by members OF
the order, and when departure Is
made from the principles set forth In
the Constitution governing the ALI
ance, they are launching their boat
on an experimental sea. The cOnse-
ouence is, all the members OF ouI
order are not on board with them
Being members of the Alliance, en-
dorsing,-as you admit-'a cOnstitu'

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

Regular services at the South Co
lumbia Presbyterian Church next
Sunday, at IL O'Clock, A. M, Rev.
G. Mitch, IL occupying the pulpit.
10 the surprise Ot many, the IND
Presbyterian church was well at
tended last Sunday by friends OF DIR.
Mitchell, who preached sermon,
which was well worth Drawing the
elements to hear, from the text,
Hope is an Anchor to the Soul, both
sure and steadfast." OF course it was
the Christian Hope referred to in the
text. DIR. NJ. gave a beautiful de-
scriptiOn of maritime life, pictur-
ing a noble vessel with sails spread,
ali the equipments necessary to safety
and comfort with its anchor on the
stern. He enlarged upon the absO-
Lutte safety of the christians anchor,
because it was hid i'll the vale safely
united TO the Rock of Ages" The
vessels might toss aud pitch through
the fury of the elements, but would
surely make the harbOr when its
anchor r. sted in one eternal calm
This beautiful discourse closed with
a timely and earnest appeal to the
Young, to whom the text more espe-
ciaIIy applied: He earnestly be-
sought them to see carefully in youth
to the full equipment of their vessel !;
above all, to carry the anchor, with
out which, the beautiful vessel, how
ever complete, would surely perish.
There were many points of interest
in the sermon which it is impossible
to give in this abbreviated sketch,
ana the glowing imagery and beautl-
full language employed we shall not
attempt to reproduce, feeling that this
is indeed feeble attempt, and falls
far short of doing Justice to one OF the
ablest discOurses it has been our
pleasure to hear. T..
