everything, even if she do not in.
vent her grievances.
Forgetfulness on the part of hus.
band is annoying, as it is in anyone,
but it is not crime. A continual
stream of scnlding, lasting three OF
four hours, over the failure to post
letter will cause any man to con.
slider tho effect disproportionate to
! the cause.
If the husband be healthy, if he
is not cursed with highly nervous
organization, what happens?
One thing is, that any love he may
have had for his wife dies, drowned
in the flood Of words. Having mur-
dered his love for her, the wife keeps
up the nagging; he speedily begins
to look to her as nuisance, from
this to dislike, and then to positive
hatred is not a long journey. If
there be children, the husband may
continue to live with for their sake,
but it is an awful home i'm which to
bring up children.
The man quickly learns that he
has i'm his physical strength some
thing in which he can claim sane
tuary. lie may not actually beat
her, because the restraining infiu-
ences OF his training have not lost
hold on him. Perhaps it would be
better if he did, for physical fear
of a whipping might he sufficient to
make her control herself.
What remedy is there? say, re-
grettully, there is none whatever,
except public opinion. Those who
suffer, if they be adults, shrink from
facing their misery, and, if they are
children, they know of no appeal.
There is, however, duty that
should be regarded as sacred. If
there are children, and if the wife
or husband be a nagger, then the
other should do something to pro-
the little ones.
He or she who refuses is as guilty
toward them as their torturer. /
may say more guilty, because he or
she knows from personal experience
what the torture is. The little ones
can have no other friend; no one
else knows; no'one else can inter-
fere.

POETRY.
ROCK OF AGES,

Rock of Ages, cleft for me-"
Ihoughtlessly the maiden sung
Fell the words unconsciously
From her girlish, guileless tongue:
sang as little children sing;
sang as sing the birds in June
Fell the words as light leaves down
On the current of the tune
ROCK OF Ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Rock of Ages, cleft for me-
Twas a woman sang them now:
Sung them slow and YEARLY
wan hand on her aching brow.
Rose the song as storm tossed bird
beats with weary wing the air;
Every note with sorrow stirred,
Every syllable prayer
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Rock OF Ages, cleft for me-"
Lips grown aged sung the hymn
Irustingly and tenderly;
Voice grown weak and eyes grown d i'm
Let me hide myself in Thee"
trembling though the voice and low
Kan the sweet strain peacefully,
Like a river in its flow;
Sung as only they can sing
who life s thorny paths have pressed
Sung as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest
" Rock OF Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Rock of Ages, cleft for me-"
Sung above coflin-lid
Underneath all restfullv
All life's joys and sorrows hid.
Never more a storm-tossed soul,
Never more from wind and tide,
Never more from billows' roll
VIII thou ever need to hide.
Could the sightless, sunken eyes
Closed beneath the soft, white hair:
Could the mute and stiffened lips
Move again in pleading prayer,
Still, eye still, the words would be
Let me hide myself in Thee"

ART IN THE OCCIDENT.-The
following is said to be a verbatum ac-
count of the introduction Of an emf.
nent viOlinist to far Western audi
ence:
Z" Ladies and gentlemen" began
Colonel Handy Polk, the well-knOwn
reai-estato agent, stepping to the
| 'front.' OF the stage and addressing the
I audience, cit il my privilege this
evenin' to introduce to you Signor-,
the notorious furrin fiddler, who will
| endevour to favor us with some high
class and A No. | violin -playin,.
The signor was born and raised in
Italy, where fiddlin' is not merely a
fad, but as much of a business as
politics is in this country, and when
it comes to handlin' the bow, he en-
phatically knows whur he is at. He
hasn't dropped into our midst by
accident, but comes under the aus
pices of the Literary Society, which
is payin' his wages and back
ing him to the last gasp. So let it be
understood that if you happen to
have any criticisms to offer, you are
to do your kickin' to the society. and
not to the signOr. I'll jest add that
II you expect him to swing the fiddle
around his head or play it under his
leg, like we used to skip stones across
the swimmin'-hole when we were
little boys and girls, you may just as
we'll go right now and gitiyour money
back from the doorkeeper, for the
signor hain't that kind of a player.
That's all have to say at present.
Start her up, signor."
