HOPE’S SONG.

I hear it singing. singing sweetly.
Softly in an undertone—

Singing as If God had taught it.
"It is belterﬂ'lrﬂur on I"

Night and day it sings the same song;
Sings while I sit alone,
, Sings so that the heart may hear it—
" It (0 better farther on' I"

Sits upon the grave and sings it.
Slugs it when the heart would groan,
Slugs it when the shadows darken-

No! no counting—only trusting],

. My Wife’s “Dolly Varden.”

Returning home one night, we missed
from the supper table the presence of our
wife. To Matilda we said:

“Where is your motherlchild l”

“Her dress has just come home, and she
wants to surprise you in it,” answered our
daughter.

Suddenly the door swung open, and. a
lady entered. L

There was a sort of wild look in her eye,
as we imagined, and she was attired in the
most outlandish style, having on a dress
with sunﬂowers and cabbagcs and pumpkins
worked all over it, and a lot of snakes
squirming around for a back-ground.
Rising, we said, “Madam, whom do you
wish to see ;” supposing, you know that the
girl had let her in. '

, She simply stared at us.

“Poor thing! she’s- crazy," we added.
Just look with what grotesque fancy she
has bedecked herself. Speak to her, Matil-
da, or call your mother ;” and having said
this, we sighed compassioaately, and shook
our head in a mournfnl manner.

' Suddenly that weird female made a belt
at us, and grasped our Adam’s apple in a
ﬁendish milnner, and choked us until our
face looked like a banner of the Commune-

“Woma'n what mean yen i’f Matilda, spring
a rattle but of the parlor ”window i" when
the supposed maniac ﬂopped down into a
chair, narrowly missing crushing George
Augustus, our three~ycar old, to death, (who

had just slid oﬁ',) and said or rather shrieked:

“You don’t know me? I’m crazy, am- I ?

You don’t know your wife!"

Our under jaw dropped in the cheerful

manner appertaining to skeletons at the
museum, and we could do no more than
look with a sort of idiotic stare,vﬁrst at‘ the
speaker and then at _Maiilda. That lovely
child at last said, "Don’t you know ma,
father ? That’s her Dolly Vardcn she put on
to show you."

Atlel‘ gasping awhile, and rolling our eyes

around, and putting ourhands to our heads,
and chuckling wildly to ourself, we came to
our senses, and the idea suddenly ﬂashed
.upon us that this was the lady who loved,
honored and disobeycd us, and the Shakes,
the ﬂow ers and cabbages constituted the
Dolly Varden. -

Then we lowered to the height of our

indignation, and said in ii calm, measured

d sepulchral tone: ,
“You can’t blame me, madam, for suppos-

ing you an insane woman; and now that I
know you are really the mother of these
interesting children, will you have the
kindness to retire to the sanctity of your
chamber and peel yourself of that piece of
furniture chintz, or window curtain, or
whatever it is you call it i”

“Window curtain! chintzl” said our

spouse, “why it’s you that’s out of your head-
That’s a Dolly Varden, and a very pretty
pattern, loo."

“Madam,” we replied, “we may be out of

our head, but if that is a Dolly Varden we
are most decidciy out of pocket. Why it
lookalike a circus dress, and thevidea of a
woman at your time of life—”.

“ My time Of life i”
“ Yes, your lime of life. The next thing,

I suppose, you will be practicing the
trapeze act in the back yard—”

“See here, now—"

“Why, it’s enough to give a man the

delirium tremens to look at it. Who ever
saw such a pattern ? It’s ﬂash 'wall paper
run mad." -

“Samuel—”
“You look exactly like some Japanese

tea sign—”

“Will you—-”
“ I won’t do anything of the kind. You
ust bounce out of here with that Feeje_

battle ﬂag, or you’ll scar he baby to death;".
and having spoken our mind we sat down.

There was an ominous pause for a moment,
and then Matilda said:

‘ "You on t to be ashamed of yourself.

We felt our brain'reeling.

eldest.

The Guild ofPlaln Dress,

The Reformation in dress inaugurated by
the princess royal of Prussia, has been
taken up in England; and an association
called “The Guild of Plain Dress” has been
formed. The object of this association, to

use their own language, is “lo _promote

modesty of dress, to do away with extrava-

gance. and establish ,ncainess and sobriety

suitable to Christian women.” Many of the
most inﬂuential and wealthy women of the
realmare identiﬁed with this movement.
We hope the spirit of the reform will extend
to our own land. ~ . ~ .

eﬁ'ort just- no'w to regain the dictatorship of
fashion, and decree, as in j times ' past, just

understands too well the secret of the weak-
ness and fall of her once powerful rival to
admit the rule and ‘ruin of fashion. And
now that England is turning away from
these follies, and the doors of nearly all
other nations are being closed against them,

'we may expect the whole tide of ' her vani-

ties to be turned upon us. Shall we now

heaviest yoke, and stand upright in the
dignity of our Christian womanhood ? '

_ _ Christian Union. justly says: “There was
a time when good taste demanded the _use
of the plaiucst clothes in the sanctuary,
when the wealthiest were distinguished for
their conspicuous absence of personal adorn-
ment, and display was a mark of vulgarity
atsuch'times and places. But nowadays,
in the congregation, on the Sabbath, rich
and poor alike seem on a desperate strain,
the one to make some faint approximation
to the other in point of extravagant display,
the other to demonstrate to the .onc the
utter hopelessness of the attempt. It would

almost appear as if whatever might be
thought of the propriety of a modest garb in
other places, the proper. costume for the
house of God, where, theoretically, we all
go tohereminded of our common origin
and destiny, were an agglomeration of. all
the armtic and ornamental appliances.”

good taste and unobtrusive piety in. this?

shaved for the ﬁrst time in twelve years.
He was very busy, and business detained
him in his ofﬁce until a late hour of the
night, and when he went home he found
that his family had retired. This was not
an unusual occurrence, so he slyly entered
by means of a pass-key,. sought his own
room, and undressed without lighting the
gas. He got into bed, when his wife astou-
ished him by uttering aloud and prolonged
scream. He was very much alarmed for
her, and feared she had lost her- reason. He
implored her to tell him what was, the
matter. -
At the sound of his voice she screamed,
“Oh i Edward, come quick and save me i”
“ I am here, dear,” said be but she only
screamed the louder at the words. '
He sprang out of bed, and had just struck

preparing for the Sabbath, when he heard

“What do you want, my little b'Oy ?”

Who cOuld resist that plea ? The door
was opened wide, the little boy climbed into

ful feature of all. I always organize on the
union plan, and ﬁnd that God blesses these
labors more than my regular ministrations
to adults.’ ” Theéc Sunday schools are the
only place where the jarring and discordant
elements in church and State can be harmo~
nized. ‘l‘here men meet laying aside to a
great extent, the bitter animosities of the
past, and join in sweet songs ofpraise to the
Prince of Peace. Many a falher is there
led to sacriﬁce his prejudices for the sake of
his children, and I am often reminded of
that sweet promise, ‘The lion shall lie down
with the lamb, and a little child shall lead
them.’ The people of God in those desti-
tute regions are beginning to feel the impor-
tance of this great Work; many of lhe youth,
are giving their hearts to Jesus, and the
prejudice against the conversion of children
is giving way.

The bill was read. ,

Mr. Lockwood said the bill had been
under consideration a long time. -By' its
provisxons four sections of the usury laws

are repealed. The ﬁfth relates to the

computation of interest, and the sixth. to the
recovery of the same. Book debts, judg-
ments, etc., remain as they are. Everybody

acknowledges the avoidance of the present

law, and'thc committee report in favor of
this bill because they think some action

should be taken in the matter. It is claimed

Thc report of the committee on education

was called from the table by Mr. Potter.
This report included the revision of the laws
relating to education, bya committee up.
pointed last year, and the amendments add;
ed by the committee on education. The
ﬁrst section of the statute was taken up,

which was not changed from the old law,

but an‘ame'ndment was proposed providing

for compulsory attendance, unless excused
for cause. This Mr. Potter favored.

Mr. Perkins opposed compulsory educa-.
tion on general principles. '

Mr. ottou favored the amendment.
Compulsory education was daily‘ gaining
ground, and he believed it right. If he was
to be taxed for the support of public schools,
he saw no reason why the children should
not be made to avail themselves of their
privileges. -

Mr. Woodward thought education was al-
most universal now, and read from the re-
port of the secrelary of education to show
that lhe attendance was now over nine! -
ﬁve per cent. of the whole population it
the school ages. He thought it rather too
arbitrary to force the small fraction into

school.

' Mr. Brown moved to postpone the con-
sideration of the whole report till Tuesday
morning. -Carried. , ~

Bill to allow persons to swear oﬁ' their
indebtedness before the board, of assessors,
was reported against and rejected.
