COLUMBlA'S eMSLEM.

Baazon Columbla's emblem,
The bounteous, golden cornl
Eons ago, OF the great suns glow
And the JOY of the earth, twas born
From Superior's shore to Chilli,
From the ocean OF dawn TO the west,
With its banners of green and tasseled sheen
II sprang at the suns behest;
And by dew and shower, from Its natal hour,
With honey and wine twas fed,
Till the gods were fain TO share with men
Tho perfect feast outspread.
For the rarest boon TO the land they loved
Was the corn 80 rich and fair,
Nor star nor breeze DER the farthest seas
Could hrd its like elsewhere.
In their h lest temples the Incas
Oneref ne heaven-sent maize
Grains wrought OF gold, in a silver fold,
For 1. e suns enraptured gaze;
And its lrvest came to the wandering tribes
As the gods own gift and seal;
And MOI azuma's festal bread
Was made of its sacred meal
Narrow their cherished fields; but ours
Are broad the continents breast,
And, lavish as leaves and flowers, the sheaves
Bring plenty and JOY and rest
For they strew the plains and crowd the VAIN
When tho reapers meet at morn,
Till blithe cheers ring and west winds sing
A song for the garnered corn
She rose may bloom for England
The lily for France unfold
Ireland may honor the shamrock,
Scotland her thistle bold
But the shield OF the great republic,
The glory OF the west,
or all our wealth the best
The arbutus and the goldenrod
The heart OF the north may cheer,
And the mountain laurel for Maryland
Its royal clusters rear;
And jasmine and magnolia
The crest of the south adorn;
But the wide republics emblem
Is the bounteous golden corn

SOCIAL INDISCRETIONS.
Contemplate Conduct of Young Men
Toward Young Women.

Contemplate Conduct of Young Men
Toward Young Women.
One of the most common social indis-
cretions of which young men are guilty
is the practice of visiting at houses
where there are young ladies who are
more or less attractive and the singing
out for special courtesies of some par
ticular member of the family. As GUS
tom has decreed this to be the initia-
tory step to matrimony, it is often the
case that young ladies accept such at
tentiOns; and, as they become more
and more marked, take it for granted
mind of the individual. Society does
not permit either question or sugges-
ton from the young woman, and, as
time goes on, other young men take it
for granted that said young lady is
spoken for and turn their attentions
elsewhere.
If the apparently devoted lover is not
in earnest and is merely amusing him
self, some day, without reason or an
explanation. he discontinues his visits
and leaves the young woman and her
family in state of wonder bordering
OF amazement. Something must be
wrong. Have they quarreled, or what
is the matter? OF course, the young
lady is perplexed, maybe hurt, possibly
heart-broken, for she may have become
deeply interested. The queries and
curiosity of her friends are very hard
to bear, and nine times out of ten she
\ is blamed or accused of flirting. There
is nothing in the world so difficult as
the attempt to justify oneself in cases
of this kind. OF course, all that she
can say is that she knows nothing
about the reason. The young man
when questioned says he has no reason,
never had any serious intentions, mere
ly liked to go there, and that is all
there is to it. This is a selfish way of
declaring that he chose to find an
agreeable place to pass his time. and
when he found one that pleased him bet
ter had a perfect right to transfer his
attentions.
Such conduct is cowardly and con-
temptible in the extreme. While it is
true that young man may not always
desire to marry where he visits, it is
quite possible for him so to distribute
his attentions that no one shall be dis
tressed or made unhappy, but this does
not answer his purpose as well, Under
such circumstances he would have to
take his chances with the casual caller,
but he prefers to have somebody on the
lookout for him, always interested in
his coming and always glad to devote
herself to entertaining him.
The social code should prescribe some
very peremptory fashion of dealing
with cases of this kind. Until this is
done, it would be much better for the
family. the young woman and. indeed,
the young man himself were the
parents and friends of the girl after a
reasonable time to demand some decla-
ration of intentions. No wrong could
come of this, and it would save much
unhappiness. 1t would. in addition to
this. show to trifiers and those young
men who go in society merely for the
sake of being amused, that they cannot
indulge their desire for society at the
expense of somebody else comfort and
happiness. N Y. Ledger.

THE CHINESE SERVANT.
John often Makes a Very Good Kitchen
Help.

Help,
1t is very gratifying to the tired
farmers wife to see her husband come
driving up with a Celestial. who, pres
emily having deposited his bed and
valise in the place indicated. comes
into the kitchen, places his little clock
on the shelf, ties on his apron, and pro-
ceeds to investigate his premises. 1t
does not take him long to find out
where everything is. to ascertain the
contents of every jar, paper and can,
and to set about getting the coming
meal. He is very ingenious about his
kitchen, and mends, contrives and in
vents to suit the eXigencies that may
arise. He is usually teachable, but re-
sents too much interference. If dish
is to be prepared which he does not I'M
derStand, he will say: You makee
this time me see; me makee him." and
he is apt to be so delighted with the
knowledge thus acquired as to make it
too often.
In disposition he is generally amiable
and pleasant, but when the kitchen
sky is overcast, it is usually denoted by
Guinness, accompanied by an omi-
nous gathering of dishes and pans, a
state which is usually to be counter
acted by little kindness and tact on
the part of the mistress.
He is the friend of the children, and
seems oftentimes himself but a child
