[The following verses, which appeared in
the Independent of the 20th uit., were writ-
ten very recently, when the gifted author
was passing through “a great trial of of-
fliction" by reason of a-most critical illness
in his family. Those who heard his admir-
able and most consolatory discourse inane
Congregational churchjon Sunday morning,
the 10th ult., on the text: “What I do thou
knowest not now, butshalt know hereafter,”
Will recognize in these lines a cognate and
most fitting sequel to it. They are com-
mended to all afflicted ones.—B.]
Father, Lead 0n :
BY BAY PALMER, D. D.
“um—O
My Father God, lead on! .
Calmly I follow where Thy guiding hand
Directs my steps. I would not trembling
stand.
Though all before the way
Is dark as night,-I stay
My soul on thee, and say:
Father, I trust thy love: lead on.
Just as thou wilt: lead on!
For I am as a child; and know not how
To tread the starless path whose windings
now
Lie hid from mortal ken.
Although I know not when
Sweet day shall dawn again,
Father, I wait thy will: lead on.
I ask not why: lead on!
Mislead thou canst not. Though through
days of grief
And nights of anguish, pangs without re<
lief,
0r fears that would o’erthrow
My faith, thou bidst me go,
.Thy changeIess love, I know,
Father, my soul will keep: lead on.
With thee is light: lead on!
When dank and chill at eve the night-mists
fall,-
O’erhanging all thing's like a dismal pail,
The gloom, with dawn, hath fled ; .
So, though ’mid shades I tread,
. The daysprin'g o’er my head,
Father, from thee shall break: lead on.
Thy way is peace: lead on !
Made heir of all things, I were yet unblcst
Didst thou not dwell with me and make me
rest
Beneath the brooding wing
That thou'dost o’er me fling,
Till thou thyself shalt bring,
Father, my spirit home: lead on.
Thou givest strength? lead on I _
1 cannot sink while .thy right hand upholds,
Nor comfort lack while thy kind arm en-
folds.
Through all my soul I feel
A healing influence steal,
While at thy feet I kneel,
Father, in lowly trust : lead on.
’Twill soon be o’er: lead on !
Left all behind, earth's heartaches then‘shail
seem
E’eu as memories of a vanished dream;
And when of griefs and tears
The golden fruit appears
Amid the eternal years,
Father, all thanks be thine I Lead on !

What a Connecticut lady sees in
Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5th, 1873.
Masses. Entrous :--Of what consequence
it can possibly be, or of what interest to
your many readers, the impressions a Nor-
walk girl gets here at the nation’s capital,
is more than I can imagine. Having “prom-
ised,” however, to write for your Gaznm
some letters, I shall try and fulfill my
pledge, leaving it for you and your readers,
when you find them unendurable, to cry:
“hold, enough!" I want the point settled
that Ikeep my “engagements“ in every-
thing. If ever I should be so fortunate, or
unfortunate, as to “pledge'my troth” in an-
other sense, I shall keep to that, too, unless
'the fellow should lose his head and desert
me. In such a case, I shall keep my own
integrity of purpose as an anodyne for my
lacerated affections, and not distress any-
body by going into the courts with a breach
of promise case. I have always told the
gentlemen this, and if they knew how hon-
est I was in my avowais, it doesn‘t seem as
if they could he so shy of me. But what
has this to do with Washington? Simply
this and nothing more. You wanted me to
“write anything,” you said, “that would in.
terest the ladies,”-—that your“senior" would
give you all the politics, news and Legisla-
tion you wanted. Now I would like to
know what ever has or ever will interest
Miss or Madame more than the subjects of
“engagements” and “matrimony i”- And
this reminds methat one of the “sweetest”
things I have seen sine . ’ piers;
Washin "" ""é‘zivnh her happy groom,
and she all dressed out in blue ! ' She was a
girl of bright face and eye and goodly form,
it is true, but it was ,such a relief to see a
bride dressed in something beside the ine-
vitable lavender and pearl. Her dress was
a rich all wool fabric, with delicate pipings
of satin a shade slightly brighter, while her
outer garment was a coat of the same mater-
ial, nicely fitting the form, rather than a poi-
Onaise of superfluous folds. This was faced
with heavy, rich, blue silk, a shade “of! from
her jacket and skirt. Blue gloves and a
jaunty, lace-trimmed, velvet. jockey, well
covering the front and back part of the
head. finished her. very neat and tasteful out-
fit. I cast a look 'back at her, as ladies ai-
wnys do, and when I saw her skirts clear
of the dirty pavements, and her neat fitting
little boots, I instantly said to myself, “that
girl has got a good, sensible mother, and
that young man has gota prize of a wife.”
Let me describe another “blue” suit I en-
countered on the cars from New York hith-
er. A oomely lady of perhaps forty-five,
with her daughter, a girl of seventeen, I
should judge, occupied the seat just ahead
of me. She wore a gaudy, Navy blue suit.
Her redingote being covered with lacquered
buttons as large as my good old grandmoth-
or's glass preserve dishes. With every
movement of her body, these metal buttons
would resound like the clashing of - tin
plates. This, of course, attracted the gen-
tleman’s attention, and my woman’s eye
was not long in detecting that the vain
mother was fully conscious of the notice
her daughter was commanding, and fully
participating with her child in the delights
of her conquests. Her hat was of the up-
pish, Hindoo style, with a long, flowing
plume surmounting the lofty crest and droop-
ing down into her flowing tresscs behind.
Her face and form were round and come-
ly, but, horror of horrors! the foolish thing
had tried to improve nature’s rich carminc
WWI Paint, and that coarsely applied I The
damsel wriggied and twisted and hobbled
about her seat and through the aisles of our
Pullman 631' till we reached Washington,
and it W058 real relief to see her depart
and feel that I was relieved of the sight
even of so foolish a virgin, and sun more
foolish momma. In the one instance, my
pretty blue bird was as neat, and natty, and
sweet as the first blue-bird ,of spring. In
the other, it was a strained effort to at-»
tract attention, without the sense requisite
to win admiration. All was overdone and
expressed in the one comprehensive Word
“1011 .” When will women learn to be true
“nature and themselves, and realize that
in so doing they are surest to win the re.
.poct and admintion of those whose good
opinion is worth the having. I know yOu
will think—just like you mom—a woman
“at: mites letter without “pitching into”
her use woman; removing had my “tilt,”
ways command the especial interest of the
ladies. I do not think anything so quickly
arrests the- attention of a northern lady
coming to the Capital, as the great numbers
0! curious looking, men. The change is as
great in appearance, style of dress, and
manners between those we meet at home
and those who come here from the south
and far west, as between those we encoun.
ter on the English and French sides of the
North Sea channel. It is really wonderful
to note this difference here in features and
and form, and know that they are of our
own nationality. In the Senate “Parson
Brownlow,” and in the House, Mr. May-
nard, are types of the men I would de-
scribe,—high chunk bones, almost skinless
faces long, straight hair, high shoulder
blades. projecting forward in almost dan-
ger-tn. ,.,.-roximity to their ears. I heard
one .1 .Iti? kind accosted ontbemarble steps
of tar Capitol yesterday. He said he was
from the state of Arkansas. but, looking at
his sunken face and eyes, and gaunt figure,
he seemed to me to have come from the
state of Starvation. I really do wonder
what such hateful-looking creatures were
ever made for. I am certain I never could
love or be happy with one of them, ugh!
It may be said to me as of the saint who
wrote, “I wouldn’t live always,"—“Yeu
havn't been asked,” but I vow I wouldn’t
live with one of these creatures if I had to
remain single till after I am forty years old!
Iknoquouidn’t, and I guess a moman
knows her own mind sometimes. And
then, to think there’s such an unconscion-
able number of these men! Tltey stand
and stalk all about the corridors of the
Capitol, and look for all the World like be m-
yard fowls during a drenching rain! I
really wish they’d go home. Yet why
shouidI worry about them? I am con-
stantly questioning myself thus, and its an
honest truth, I can’t tell why they so haunt
me, I really can’t. They are nothing to me.
I wish‘I could keep the dreadful looking
creatures out of my thoughts. But to a
brighter picture. .There are also very, very
many noble and handsome looking men
here, and I am not ashamed to own that I
love to see them, and pick up little bits of
their histories. Aren’t my brothers finc-
iooking young fellows, and wasn’t my good
father noble in his looks, as well as in his
actions? 01‘ such as these it will be a d
several members of our own State delega-
tion in Congress are admitted by all the la-
dies here to be exceptionally fine looking
gentlemen. In the Senate, Mr. Buckingham
is really handsome. I don’t mean it in any
frivolous, silly sense. Neither am I influ-
enced by the fact that he is single. My en-
thusiastic admiration may gain fervor be-
cause he is so noble, so good, and so true,
but not a whit because ofany selfish pity
for his, loneliness. He has a beautiful house
here, and he ought to have a good wife to
make that fine house a beautiful home, but I
have nothing to offer him beyond my best
wishes and this good advice. I am so de-
lighted to hear all the ladies say of him
that no finer type of a pure, Christian man-
ean be found in the public service.
Senator Ferry has a noble physique, de-
spite his malady, and day before yesterday
whcn'he rose to contend with Charles Surn-
ner, I caught from my seat in » the gallery
the same magnetic gleam of his bright in-
tellectual Eye which used to charm us all
while listening to him at home in former
years. .
conspicuously only in his locomotion. His
brain power seems to have gained strength
and maturity rather than suffered loss by
reason of his infirmities. He is one of the
acknowledged mind giants of the Senate,
and when his countenance lightens up and
his eyes kindle with their wonted enthusi-
asm in debate, his fme classical brow and
face are a delight to look upon. Gen. Haw-
ley is accounted thebest looking man among
Connecticut Representatives. He has a
Very attractive face, fine eyes and head.
When he speaks his tones and gestures de.
note so much candor and earnestness that
he inspires his gallery hearers at least, with
full confidence of his integrity of heart and
purpose. Our own Mr. Barnum is afine
looking man ,he has a friendly sparkle in his
eye that denotes generous impulses, and a.
healthy glow and color to his checks which
as surely tell of generous living. He has
no fame'as a talker, but an enviable reputfi-
tion for a public man as a successful worker
and accomplisher of his favored purposes.
Mr. Starkweather is a fine intellectual look-
ing man with a countenance just enough
shaded with illohealth to touch a tender wo-
man’s pity. He is very popular among the
progressive Washington ladies for the ser-
vice he is reputed to have rendered iastwin-
ter in aid of their city improvements, while
chairman of the District committee. .From
all I see and can learn of Mr. Starkweather
I should put him down as a conscientious
and faithful servant 'of the State in Con-
gress. Mr. Kellogg is prepossessiu’g in
manner and action,but those dreadful gpgg,
taclcs he wears gives him such .maf‘ge‘hp-
Professor.grBrtfpofl his really handsome
fib’el‘, 'These alone, to 'my eyes, let Gen.
Hawley and Mr. Barnum hear off the palm
of beauty. He is famed,howevcr, as being
the most untiring worker in Congress. It is
said of him, that when he goes to get a poor
woman from Connecticut a pension, or one
of our sTihool-marms a clerkship in the
Treasury, he is at once given all he asks
for, because they know full well he will
never let them have a moment’s peacé till
they grant what he asks. The ladies here
tell me, in matters of appropriations for his
District and our Statcfhc is well nigh om-
nipotent in Congress, and that he gets more
money out of the Treasury for his State
than any other dozen men in Congress.
There must be something peculiarly potent
and fascinating about Mr. Kellogg’s powers
of persuasion. I half wish, Desdemona
like, that he would learn his art to some
equally nice man, and them—introduce his
pupil to me. But hav’nt I gabblcd 'cnough
such gossip for a. first letter

What Causes Hard Times.
i Too many spend money, and too few earn
t. - .
Too much money is spent wastefully and
uselessly, and too little saved and made pro-
ductive and accumulative.
We buy too much that we do not pay for,
cash dewn; too much of what we buy be-
ing what we do not actually need.
_ We are too waeteful, know too little how
to economize, and have too little disposition
to do so.
Too many of us prefer idleness to indus-
try, and too few of us- know how to work

We spend too much time hearing what is
not useful, and too little informing ourselves
upon the best methods of promoting our

Strength of Small Things.
Among curious experiments recorded are
some trials of the strength of beetles. A
dark tube is made of card, closed with
glasses at one end. This glass is hung on a
pivot, like the swing glass in a church-win-
dow. The beetle makes for the light, and
pushing to get out, lifts from four to ninety
times its own weight. The smaller the crea-
ture the greater his _power._ The mole or
the rabbit makes burrows in which the little
out would be lost, yet the ant’s strength is
relatively much greater than that of the
mole. The excavating power of the latter
is, however, most wonderful. We oaee saw
a mole turned out of his track with a spade.
The little creture fell upon a. gravel walk,
and in less time than it takes to write down
the fact, the four footed engineer was out of
sight again. 4 .

could leap like a flea, the mistatements of

THE “ BARTRAM.”
The Bartram SewingMachineis the latest produc
tion of inventive genius. It has the
O O O
Semplecety
of the Wile'ox do Gibbs’, but makes the lock-stitch
with a revolving shuttle, which, revolving on its
enrrier, is subject to no wear. and requires no oilinz
by which the thread would othermse be soiled: and
the wear and friction of a “race" is avoided. This
style of shuttle moves with greater
Rapicllty
and eascof operation makingone-thirdmoresmchu
withhthe same motion of the foot, than any other
mac me.
Erase-
It is the easiest running of the family of Sewing
Machines. Delicate ladies who cannot use others
can operate the Bartram without fatigue.
, Best Needle.
'II. has the best needle in the world—short and
straigh with a fist shank. By simplv putting it up
in the eedle bar as far as it will go. it is set right
and never has to be varied for thick or thin goods.
Durability.
It is, without question, the most durable machine
in the market, as it in no 31111111 constructed (having
but five working parts), that lotion is reduced to
the lowest pass his degree. All the wearing parts
are made of the finest steel, and beautimllyfinished.
~ General Efi‘icleucy.
Theinventor, (Mr. W. B. Bartram) has kept one
important feature in View, viz., that it. should be so
constructed as not to limit its usefolness to any
specialty of work, but to be adapted to bpthlight
and heavy sewing equally well.

The number of cripples in England and
Wales alone is reckoned at not less than one
hundred thousand; and the saddest thing
of all is, that by much the larger number of
them owe their infirmities and deformities
to bad fathers, bad mothers, and bad nurses.
Tumbling out of the arms of staggering
drunkards, parents, or nurses, they get their
bones broken, or their joints dislocated, or
their limbs fractured. There is no doubt that
the use of intoxicating drink is the root of
this and of a host of other domestic, social.
ind political evils. Year by year it cripples
thousands of innocent infants, more ruinous
to the country than the pillage of the Bank
of England, it costs sixty millions of money,
and, more fatal than the bloodiest bat-
tle-field, sixty thouSand lives. Neither
Molocb, nor Juggernaut, nor any other hen
then idol, was ever worshipped with such
cruel and costly sacrifices as this Christian-
kingdom ofi'ers, year by year, to the demon
of drink—Dr. Guthrie.

writes T. B. Aldrich, when Laura and
Charles Henry, after‘unhearo-of obstacles.
are finally united, all cares and tribulations
and responsibilities, slip from their sleek
back: like Christian's burden. The idea is a
pretty one, theoreticfilly, but like some of
those models in the patent office at Wash-
ington, it doesn’t work. Charles Henty does
not go on sitting at Laura's feet and reading
Timothy Titcomb to herforever; the rent
of the cottage by the sea falls due with pro-
saic regularity; there are bakers and butch-
ers and babies and tax collectors and doctors
and undertakers, sometimes gentlemen of
the jury to be attended to. Wedded life is
not one long amatory poem, with recurrent
rhymes of love and dove. and kiss and bliss.
Yet when the average sentimental novelist
has supplied his here and heroine with their
bridal outfit, and attended to that little mat.
ter of the marriage certificate, he usually
turns off the gas, puts up his shutters, and
counters OH with his hands in his pockets,
as if the days business were over. But we,
who are honest dealers in real life, and dis-
dain to give short weight, know better. The
business is by no means over—it is just be-
gun. It is not Christian throwing ofi‘ his
pack for good and all, but Christian taking
up a load heavier and more dificult than any
he has carried.

ever on which a wish has been fixed. How
light, in fact, is the sacrifice of any other
wish weighed against the afi‘ections of one
with whom we are to pass our life! And
though opposition in a single instance will
hardly of itself produce alienationgyet every
one has his pouch into which all these oppo-
sitions are put, and while that is filling the
alienation is insensibly going on, and when
filled is complete. It would puzsle either
to say why; because no'diifercnee has been
marked enough to produce a serious efi‘set
by itself. But he finds his afi'ection wearied
out by a constant stream of checks and ob-
stacles! Other sources of discontent, very
common indeed, are the cross-purposes of
husband and wife, in common convention;
a disposition to criticise and question, what-

ion views a thing in a different light from
what we do, to leave him in quiet wssesion
of his view. What is the use of rectifying
him if the thing be unimportant? And, if
important, let it pass for the present, and
wait a softer moment and more conciliatory
occasion of revising the subject together. It
