"The Miser and the Crab
Before the heart and hand are cold,
Before they lie beneath the mould,
Could many men in visions see
The battle for their property;
Could‘they perceive their wealth created
To make a dear child dissipated.
0r buy their widow soon or late
Some shiftless fortune-hunting matc—
What charities they would devise
To transfer treasure to the skies!
A miser rambling near the shore,
Charmed by'the ocean’s dreamy roar,
Espied a crab, and thus began:
“In some things you resemble man;
The murmur of the restless sea
Makes music both for you and me ;
Amid the glittering sand you dwell,
While my possessions are my shell;
And lastly, crab, our nature’s such
We both of us delight to clutch."
“In one the difference is wide,”
With squeaky voice the crab replied:
“For when I bid the world farewell,
I shall be buried in my shell;
But when you die a, greedy crew
Will quickly tear your shell from you.” .

Winter in the Catskills.
N. 1'. Times. .
It may be of interest to summerfrcquen-
ters of the Catskill region to know some-
thing of its appearance in the depths of
winter. The familiar roads and rambles are
from three to five feet beneath the snow,
while the notches and ravines lie so depply
buried that one wonders how it is possible for
them to fully emerge from the fleecy mass
by the advent of summer. The great white
hotels send adeeper chill to the beholder as
he reflects upon the usual comforts suggested
by such structures. Doors and windows are
tightly closed, and there are no signs of life
around them. But for ‘all that the region is
not wholly; without attractions, several
species of wild game still abound in many
portions _of this mountain locality, and the
hunters are successful in making large cap~
tures annually. Among these the bear, not
yet disposed to give up his favorite tramping
ground, entirely. is still found. The black
bear still inhabits the Catskill and many are
captured every winter strung; as it may
seem to summer visitors, who in all their
rambles here have probably never chanced to
meet one. The truth is. however, the animal
is commonly. found somewhat further back
in the mountains than the locality known as
the boarding region, and yet bears are fre-
quently seen and annually caught on some
of the prominent peaks facing the river.
The writer, while traversing High Peak last
summer, was shown by the guide the but of
aprofcssional bear trapper at the base of that
mountain, who caught several - bears in that
vicinity every Winter, he said. Another
consoling thought to timid visitors is the well-
known fact that Bruin, although a ferocious
beast under certain circumstances has a great
natural fear of man. and is very careful to
keep out of his sight whenever possible.
The only exception to this conduct is when
he is suddenly discovered in presence of his
young, and in their defense he will fight bit-
terly to the last. ' j
The principal bear region is the Shanda-
ken Mountains and the steep towering'de—
clivities which skirt Watson Hollow, Deep.
Hollow, Mink Hollow, and Big Indian Hol—
low. Herc they are trapped and taken in
various ways in the late fall and early win—
ter. Hunters avcr‘that because of additional
clearings in the forest of late years the shrubs
and vines furnish a great abundance of
berries and food, and hence bears are more
numerous here than formerly. Their favorite
food, however, is beech-nuts’ and this region
usually produces these in ample supply. The
crop was 1' rge last season, and the bears al-
ready captured are found to be fa in conse-
quence. The bear is very domestic ;in win—
ter; retiring to his den in December he rare-
ly leaves it until snow disappears, but sub
sists on sucking his paws or haunches, as the
trappers assert, coming out in the spring
little more than skin and bone, especially it
the winter has been close and long. In ac—
cordance with the familiar tradition,'ne is sup-
posed to emerge from his 'hole on the 2d day
of February, when, if he sees his shadow, he
returns to his lair, remaining in six weeks
more before he ventures out again. In open
winters, however, they are out occasionally,
and may be easily tracked. Dogs often scent'
them out, but they can easily box off half
a dozen of these, dealing fatal blows with
their huge paws. But they will avoid an
encounter with a man whenever possible,
though it forced on the defensive hunters
are apt to leave them alone, unless well pre-
pared nnd armed. Some are caught in log
traps alive, requiring a small army of men
to secure the animal afterward. Most are
caught in stout steel trhps having log attach-
ments. Finding his leg in one of these,
Bruin slaps the trap repeatedly against the
rocks with great force in order to get loose.
Failing in this, he sometimes gnaws off the
leg, and limps away to freedom. Some are
killed with powder and ball, and in various
ways the coveted game is secured by the
shrewd experienced hunters, who consider
three or four bears a good winter’s take. A
full-grown bear wil'veigh from 300 to 500
pounds, but the average weight of those tak-
en here is not above 200 pounds perhaps.
The pelts bring from $4 to $10 in this city,
according to size and quality of fur. The
carcass sells readily at 25 cents per pound.
A few winters ago the Gosso brothers, of
Shandaken, discovered a den containing five
bears. They killed thr'ec of the number, two
escaping by arear outlet. Last winter Isaac
_Van Valkcnburgh, of Peck Hollow, while in
the mountains with his dog, far from home,
with only a shotgun and fine shot, killed a
fine bear by the use of beech plugs which be
'whittled out to fit the bore of his gun. In
December last Charles IIolley and Florence
Hill, of Chichesterville, came upon a bear and
cub while hunting rabbits. They shot both
returning home in triumph. And thus every
few days bear pelts are brought to a prom-
inent fur dealer of this city for sale. Old
Enos Brown, of \Vatson Hollow, was afamous
bear hunter in his day, and his sons are so
regarded now. ' The Wilbur brothers, of
Mink Hotlow, are regular trappers; also
Louis Blodgett, of Shandaken; and Isaac
Bunger, near Woodstock,‘ has already 08D-
tured three or four fine bears.
In illustration of the supreme contempt
with which Bruin regards dogs, an amusing
story is told in which old 001. Zadock Platt,
the famous tanner, of Prattsville, figured
prominently a few years ago. Happening at
Shandaken Centre on business, the Colonel
- saw a bear chained to a pole in front of the
hotel there, it having been recently captured
in the woods near by. The crowd was amus-
ing itself with the animal, and telling how he '
would whip any number of dogs in a twink-
ling. The Colonel being the owner of two
trusty and valuable dogs himself, which he
thought could whip anything, finally made a
bet of the dinners for the entire crowd that
might gather to see the sport, that his .1WO
dogs could chew' the bear into shreds in a
short time. On the arrival of the day agreed
upon the Colonel was promptly On band with
his dogs, and an immense crowd Was- there .
to witness the fun and partake of the dinner.
The dogs were large powerful bloodhounds.
On being set; on the bear, which was‘a large,
ferocious animal, each dog in‘rn stood
lookin g 'at him motionless for a few moments,
when. to the utter dismay of the venerable.
‘ old man, and amid the deafening‘cheers of
the croiid, they both started up the road to
‘ her she would not listen to the. suit.
Prattsville like the wind, tails between their
legs, and the Colonel yelling, “Bounce!
Bounce! come back!” It is said the joke
cost the colonel over $200. .
Panthers are also occasionally seen in thr's
mountain region. and a few caught most
every winter. Depredations are now being
committed by them near Watson Hollow,
and a‘hunting party is being organized to
capture the dangerous brutes. Wild cats are
reported quite numerous of late, and several
have already been killed. The mink is scarce-
-ly caught by trappers at all now for the rea—
son that this fur is almost entirely replaced
by sealskin, and mink skins that formerly
sold for $9 each are now worth only 75 cents.
Muskrat, and skunk skins are still in good
demand. The latter go to Europe, where
they are called black marten. The red fox
crossbar fox, and silver gray fox are also
found in this region to some extent. A
leading dealer here has already purchased
over a thousand black skunk skins. All
skins are shipped to London, where they are
sold to the great Lampson Fur company
who in turn sell them to buyers from various
foreign countries, many going to Leipsic,
Germany. Owing to the severe winter all
furs taken are now of a superior quality.
But after this month they are said to dete—
riorate.

AN Iiusrr Rousseau—When I arrived at
Kilmurrcy, one of those storms which come
from the Atlantic, and in an instant envelop
these islands in a cloud of wind driven mist,
made me seek refuge in a cabin.7 It was a
crowded, busy peasaut’s home, and as I sat
by the fire—the warmst seat being given me
with the invariable hospitality of these
people—I found abundant material for obser-
vation and reflection. Whatever cleanliness
was possible in a family of eight occupying
one large room along with two pigs was
carefully maintained; at least, the mother
and children were neatly and comfortably
attired, the hearth well swept, and the pigs
were confined to the limit assigned them.
An old woman was carding wool,'a child
rocking the cradle, and the mother spinnin
{gt a large wheel. The chickens, also driving
in by the rain, one by one hopped up a lad.
der to their roosts among the rafters, from
which they watched oventheir ruflied feathers
the busy family and the blazing hearth with
so much approval and satisfaction that I am
sure, if chickens be susceptible to emotion,
these were very tender ones indeed. A dog
sneaked in, and seeing a stranger, went out
into the rain again. The dogs, which are
not numerous on the island, are of the most
miserable and Condemned aspect, and seem
to feelrtheir miserable ancestry, as they in—
variably jumped the wall or ran into some
obscurity on the approach of a stranger.
While drying my dripping garments, I saw
for the first time, seated in a corner, as if to
screen himself from observation, the figure
of a young man clad in white flannel, the
costume of, the island. His face was thin
and sad, and of the same color as the gar—
ments he wore, and he gazed at the fire with
such adejected and hopeless expression as led
me to infer that he was the fated victim of
some terrible disease—consumption, perhaps
—and was fecbly waiting through the long
hours of the day and night the death he knew
to be sure and near. I' spoke to him, striv-
ing in iny pity to appear unconscious of per-
ceiving his mystery. Without answering, he
rose abruptly and left the cabin. The looks
of concern and inquietudc in the faces about
me told me of some unusual sorrow, which
the mother, leaving he spinning-wheel ex—
plained to me in a low voice. She told me
that the young man, her eldest son, poor
Owney, as she called him, had until a month
before been the most healthy and cheerful
member of the family; ready and prompt at
work, and the life of the household, when a
letter came from America to a neighboring
family inclosing money to pay the passage
thither of their eldest daughter. It appeared
that the young man had long entertained a
secret passion for this girl, and when he
heard that he probably would never see her
again, he declared his love to her, and be—
sougbt her to remain. So far from being
unmindful of his affection, she avowed her
willingness to marry him at once, if he would
accompany her to America immeditely after-
ward. . This was impossible; his own family
were unable to assist him,and the few people
who possess money on the island would not
lend it without security. The practical
damsel saw on the other side of the Atlantic
every prospect of improving her material
condition, and doubted not. that husbands
were as plentiful there. as elsewhere ; while ,
if she remained, she knew the drudgery and
hopeless slavery that were the lot of all
around her would be hers also. Therefore
she told her suitor if he copld not accompany
When
the young man found his upbraidings use—
less, he gave way to despair; and had not
worked Or spoken since his cruel sentence
had been pronounced. Every day. he grew
thinner and more wan, and he did not partake
of sufficient food to support life. All the
solicitude and tenderness of his mother had
not succeeded in arousing within him his for-
.mer self, and with tears running down her
.cheeks she told me she thought he had lost
his reason forever. .
Some weeks previously. the schoolmaster
had written for them to a priest, a distant
relative of the family, who lived in Conne-
mara; but they had received no reply, and
she supposed he had neither help nor counsel
to give. I pondered for a long while, as I
sat by the fire, upon what often proves to be
the unfortunate sincerity of men. and I could
not refrain from deploring the no less fre-
quent levity of my own sex. In passing
through the village a week afterward I stop-
ped to say good—day to these kind people.
when I found the house a scene of bustle and
confusion. My erewhile love-sick swain was
when I entered, making himself a pair of
pampootecs ; and as he bade me good-day
over a dangerously starched collar,his face
glowed with healthy energy. The now
cheerful and happy mother informed me that,
since my last visit they had received a letter
from thc.p'ri_est in Connemara, inclosing his
blessing for the son, and the money to pay
his passage to America. She had been very
busy knitting him stockings, and makinghim
a fine white flannel suit to be married in, and
which thereafter he would not again wear
till his arrival at New York, so that it would
make a decent appearance in the New
World, as became the relative of a priest.
He was to be married to the object of his
choice th'e'next day, and they were to start
immediately afterward upon their long voy-
age. As I left, the damsel, :whose month’s
delay to prepare her outfit had given such a
fortunate respite to her lover, thrust her
head in the door, and calling upon Owncy to
be sure and wear the blue stockings she had
knitted him to the chapel on the marrow;
and then, with her little retrousse nose
turned up to the sky, ran blushing away.—

' NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22,1881.-
A Tale of Turkey Carpets.
HOW AND WHERE THEY ARE MADE AND THE
COST OF THEIR MANUFACTURE.
, From St. James’ Gazette.
One of the most important industries. of
the Ottoman Empire. and certainly the chief
industry of Asia Minor, always excepting
agriculture, is the making of carpets. Some
of the factories are now furnished with looms
quite in the European manner, but it is not
in such factories that these famous fabrics
are chiefly produced;‘the peasants in their
mud houses, and the nomad Yuruks in their
tents, all contribute to the many kinds that
are made. The annual value of the carpets
of Anatolia approaches £100,000; and of
these but a small number remain in Turkey
when compared with those distributed over
Europe and America, where the demand is
constantly increasing. About three-fourths
of the carpets come to England (but not all
for home consumption) and about one-sixth
goes to France. These largegexports keep
prices at a fair level, and in the best shops‘of
London and Paris all kinds of eastern carpets
can be got for ready money more chehply
than the casual traveler can buy them on
the spot. This applies to the finest old our—
pets as well as to the new ones ; for even with
a good and trusty dragoman one may have to.
lose the best part of a day haggling for half
a dozen velvety mellowed Daghestans with a
carpet dealer of Smyrna,Cairo or Alexandria,
and after all he victimized to some extent.
Ooshnk, a large village of artisans, about
(six days’ journey dueeast of Smyrna, is the
headquarters of the manufacture of the car—
pets known to us for generations as "Turkey
carpet,” and in France as “tapis do Smyrnc.”
The patterns are Turkish.or rather arabesque,
At Ooshak there are at full work' hundreds
of the l'Bms called tesyak, employing about
three thousand women,and turning out about
eighty-five thousand square yards of carpets
of all sizes and qualities annually. A carpet
of between seven and eight yards long‘will
employ eight women at once, working side
by side. Their wages are about eight pias-
tres a week, which. it is estimated, comes to
about 1s. 9d. for each yard of carpet woven.
The wool used comes from the villages round
about, and is bought for about a,half-penny
a pound in its uncleaned state. When washed
and bleached it loses at least one-third of its
weight. The foundation of the carpet is
made of an inferior wool, and the whole ma-
terial of the fabric may cost 28. 6d. a yard.
This does not include the dyeing, which is
managed by the men and forms the chief item
of cost. The colors that have so long satis-
fied our western eyes are produced for the
most part with madder, cocbineul and indigo.
Madder root, or alizari (Rubia Tinctorum)
give the fine old "Turkey red,” and is large-
ly grown in Asia Minor"; the best roots costs‘
from 4d. to 5d. per pound. Cochineal is im-
ported from England and France, and, being
an expensive dye, considerably raises the -
prices of carpets. It was not used before the
year 1856 : anterior to that date madder alone
was employed for reds, and this fact gives an
epoch for the carpet fancier. The indigo is
brought from England or from India. Yel—
lows are got from the seeds of Rhona-nus Al-
femur, which is cultivated largely in the
eastern parts of Karamiznia and is getting
dearer everyday ; it now costs about ls. 4d.
a pound. Other dyes, which are imported
from Europe, are used to obtain the more
tender tints and tone down to the general ef-
fect. The “velvet” carpets which have at-
tained such a vogue were not made at Ooshrk
till the year 1860.
At Ghiurdhes, which is also a village of
artisans in Anatolia, two days’ journey to the
northeast of Smyrna (it numbers 9,000 in-
habitants, chiefly Turks), the carpets known
as Persian are imitated to perfection. Three
qualities are made. The finest are called
ball or kilim, and are of large size,-conta’1n-
ing sometimes as much as 100 square yards;
then there are the sidjiadeh and the hiari
kadim—rugs and small carpets which do not
exceed five or_six square yards, and are often
made much smaller for the native divans,
About twenty thousand yards of all these
sorts are produced annually at Ghiurdhes.
'The well-known oblong carpets of arough-
or quality, often joined down the middle
and called inssomo places Karamanian, are
made by the nomad Yuruks in wooden
frames, to which the web is fixed by a sort
of comb made of iron. This tribe came into
Anatolia centuries ago. They now speak
Turkish, and although they profess a belief
in Mahomet they in' reality follow no re-
ligion and have neither church nor priests.
They possess large herds of cattle, camels
and goats. In the summer they go to the
mountains, and in the winter descend into
the valleys and plains. They are not agri—
cultural, though they breed their own cattle
and make butter and cheese. They are.also
woodcutters and hunters and are very hos-
pitable, which does not prevent them from
thieving and marauding When opportunities
offer. ,
The figures that have been given above
for wages and materials show that these car-
pets can be produced at a moderate expense.
They are not in reality the costly luxuries
which, before the development of trade and
the consequent competion, they were long
considered in Europe. One of the most
trustedmerchants in Smyrna now offers the
finest Ooshak, in which all the reds are coch-
ineal, for a little over 18, shillings a square
yard ; the second quality, in which the reds
are half cochineal, half madder, for less than
12 shillings, and the Ghiurdhes carpets he
prices at 15 shillings, free on board. The
prices seven years Ergo were about the same.
But thirty years ' back they were not more
than three-fourths of these rates. Within
that period the constantly growing demand
and the eimsequent increase in the cost of
labor, combined with the dearness of the
best dyestuffs, induced some makers to en-
deavor to reduce cost price by using cheaper
coloring matters, such as aniline ; the results
were brilliant and startling colors with a
falling off in quality and solidity. These
adventurers soon became convinced that the
innovation would inevitably- desti‘oy the re—
putation of Turkey carpets and spoil their
market, and they happily returned to the old
methods. '
But there is a danger to be quite as much
dreaded—a danger which threatens not alone
the colors, but the designs of the old pro—
ductions. Some of thev‘manufacturers, too
desirous of complying with the demands of
a vulgar taste, and it is melancholy to think
that these demands chiefly come from Eng-
land—are replacing the inimitable old free
Turkish designs by stiff, modern patterns.
The merchant whose prices have been given
above offers to execute any order no matter
what the dimensions or patterns may be,
and the same fatal complacency has penetra—
ted even to the weavers in the interior of
Anatolia. If the evil goes on it will soon
bring w an end the ancient carpet industry
of Asia Minor.

Dr. Chapln’s Endurance.
Like Theodore Parker, Chapin undoubt-
, edly felt his vitality to be so immense that it
could not be overtasked. Parker came of a
long-lived race, but he died of overwork at
flfty. Chapin seemedmnde for infinite’en—
durance, but he was shaken at sixty, and he
died at sixty-six. Some years ago, in the
height of his prosperous lecturing career, the
Easy Chair met him at the Albany railroad
station in the early evening of a winter day.
He was snatching “a bite” and a cup of col—
fee, and as the bell rang. they hurried to the,
train, Chnpin carrying a lumbering bag and
shawls,.. and laughing and joking as they
climbed into, the car. He had been out all
the week, starting early on Monday morning,
after preaching twice on Sunday. He had
lectured every evening during the week,
travelling hard all day. “Up before light,"
he said, gayly, "eating tons of cold, steaks
and bushels of cold' apples, whizzing on in
these stifling cars, and turning out just in
time to swallow a cup of tea and off to the
lecture.” It wastremcndous work, as only
the fully initiated know. But he made it a
all a joke, and his swift tongue flew humor—
ously on from incident to incident, and pres-
ently began to discuss the new books and new
articles in the magazines with sharp and just
discrimination. Suddenly the train stopped,
evidently not at a station. The night was
cold and stormy. Presently the conductor
passed, and Chapin asked to know the reason
of the delay. The conductor replied that
there was some derangement of the locomo—
tive; and Chapin said, quietly, “This is bad
business for a man who has to preach at eleven
o’clock to-morrow morning, and whose scr-
mon is not begun. His companion remonstra-
ted; but Chapin’s eyes twinkled as he answer-
ed: “Oh, you laymen know nothing about
it. Burns sang the cotter’s Saturday night,
but the minister’s Saturday night is yet un-
written. At least,” be said, laughing, “this
one is likely to be unwritten.” It was past
midnight when the train reached the city.
“Good-night,” cried the hearty voice. “Go
home, and go to bad; I’m going to work."
The next time the Easy Chair met the preach-
er, it asked about that sermon. “Oh, that
was all right. I went home, and there was a
bright fire in my study, and a brew of hot
coffee, and I finished that sermon just as the
sun rose.” And the next morning probably
he was off for another week of the same
kind.
It was at the same Albany station that,
crossing in the bleak winter night over the
frozen river, Theodore Parker was fatally
chilled. He and Chapin were both stalwart
men. with such ample and over-flowing
strength that it seemed to them to be ex—
h‘austlcss. But. they worked bravely while
it we a vet their day, and their works do fol-
low them.
m
Concerning Widows.
Widows exhibit a pathetic helplessness at
times combined with the versatile sympathy
of a father confessor. They might often vie
with the lawyers in experience of the secret
working of the mental machinery of human
nature. For the widow has graduated
in the tender emotions. She is therefore
able to regard with disinterested friendliness
those attacked with the premonitory symp-
toms of the malady from which she has,
perhaps, long ago suffered herself, and to
prescribe accordingly. In the novels, Pyr-
amus tells his passion to the moon, and
Thisbe gto her pillow. As a matter of fact,
they usually pour forth their story to the
sympathetic ear of the widow, whom, as
advertisements say, no household should be
without. She possesses the experience and
authority which attach by right to the
fogy and all the airy enterprise of
the skittish matron. Even the young
bride hangs upon her lips, At Christ-
mas parties she is an infalliable ora-
cle, an incarnate Ballroom Guide, aliving
and breathing file of Myra's Journal. At
the meet her pony-carriage is mobbed by the
men, while the women half cnviously
recognize the charm of crape. Strange to
say, she disarms the critics ”of her own sex.
She can sympathize with the misgivings of
the callow debutante, and guide her as she
learns to go alone. She has known the
domestic cares of the matron; and even for
the veteran campaigner, whose arms have
not yet secured the matrimonial laurel, she
abounds in experiences whic halways sound
new, and often prove invaluable. For she
is regarded, rightly or wrongly, as disinte—
rested. It is thought that, like a duke who
has gained the blue ribbon, or an alderman
who has passed the phair, she has realized
her ambition. Often she justifies the rep-
utation. She is the patron saint of fuilureul
a mother to those who are morally adrift or
socially derelict. At her feet genius, mis—
understood or maligned, pours out hIs elegies.
She draws into her system satellites great
and small, and, herself the centre, shines
with impartial light and warmth upon all.
Her very weeds appeal to the artistic sense
no less than to'the sympathetic heart. They
enhance the blonde complexion by contrast.
Worn by the brunette, they serve to illus—
trate what art critics call harmony of tone.
Black lends itself to graceful movements.
Tho widow has got beyond the theory of_life
into the practice.
But there are widows and widows. Ad—
dison said that in his experience ‘fwidows
did not mourn for the loss or a husband, but
for the want of one." In such cases the
weeds—at a distance a flag of distress—often
resolve themselves, on nearer acquaintance:
into the defiant symbol of the roving
privateer. Itis not for want of warning that
weak humanity falls a victim. Mr. Weller
spoke with all the feeling of along suffering
experience in warning his son to “beware of
widows”. As the widow unattached may
work infinite good as an angel of light, she
may do still greater mischief in the opposite
character. Her words have weight and her
example authority which carry conviction to
the hearts of those-among whom she lives
and moves—London World.
was.
Reviewing the census returns of 1880 fpr
the United States, the London Times says ;—
“A nation has never exhibited a more mag—
nificent picture of material progress for ten
years. Since 1870 more than eleven and a
half millions have been added to the popula-
tion, at a rate of 30 per cent. increase.
Except China and Great Britain and Russia,
no government can count more subjects. In
the number of citizens moved by similar im-
pulses, and recognizing common ends, the
British empire itself yields to the great Re-
public. Fifty millions of human beings in a
land like America more than match the
eighty-six millions of European and Asiatic
RuSsia. The four hundred and twenty-five
millions of China are not to be compared
with them as a force among mankind. The
growth of a population may generally 'be
understood to imply the growth of wealth
and resources. As ca census in a European
state indicatesanumcncal advance, it may
for the most part be inferred that fresh
means of support have been made available.
When, however, every successive census in
the United States reveals an expansion of
bounds and leaps, faith in the instinct of hu-
man nnturc net to multiply beyond the power
of existence, is scarcely needed to Yrs-assure
anxiety. The granary which is to feed the
new millions which have come, the millions
which are to follow, piles its stores for the
whole world to certify them. Each added
American citizen has not to search for the
livelihood nature hides somewhere for all
her children. He is born or imported with
his inheritance labelled‘ and allotted. He has
but to go west, north, or south; there it is
awaiting his advent.” '

ASLEEP. ‘
nose rannr coon.
'In summer time how fair it showed I—
My garden by the village road,
Where fiery stalks of blossoms glowed,
And roses softly blushed;
With azure spires and garlands white,
Pale heliotropc, the sun’s delight,
And odors that perfumed the night
Where’cr the south wind rushed.
There solemn purple pansies stood,
Gay~ tulips, red with floral blood, -
And wild things fresh from field and wood,
Alive with dainty grace. .
Deep heaven-blue bells of columbine,
' The darkly mystic passion vine.
.And clematis, that loves to twine,
Bedecked that happy place.
Beneath the strong, unclouded blaze
Of long and fervent summer days
Their colors smote the passing gaze,
And dazzled every eye.
Their cups of scented honey dew
Charmed all the bees that o'er them flew,
And buttehflies of- ‘radiant hue
Paused as they floated by. '
Now falls a cloud of saihng snow,
The bitter winds of winter blow,
No blossom dares its cup to show——
Earth foldsjhcm in her breast;
A shroud of white, a virgin pall
Is slowly, softly hiding all;
In vain shall any sweet wind call
To break their silent rest.
My garden is a vanished dream,
Dead in the waning moon’s cold beam,
” Clear icicles above it gleam;
And yet- -I know not how—K
My flowers will hear the dropping rain
When spring reneweth hill and plain,
And then it shall be mine again ;
It is God’s garden now.
A SERMON IN RHYME. ’
If you have a friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, andlet him know
That you love him, e’er life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words ne’er be said
Of a friend—till he is dead ?
If you hear a song that thrills you,
Sung by any child of song, I
Praise it. Do not let the singer ,
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one who thrills your heart,
Lack the joy you may impart?
If you hear a prayer that moves you
By its humble, pleading tone,
Join it. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother Ihare
The strength of “two or .three" in prayer?
If you see the hot tears falling
From a brother’s eyes,
Share them. And, by sharing,
Own your kinship with the skies,
Why should any one beglad, '
When a brother’s heart is sad?
If a silvery laugh is rippling
Though the sunshine on his face,
Share it. ’Tis the wise man’s saying—-
For both grief and joy a place.
There’s health and goodness in the mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
If your work is made more easy '
By a friendly helping-band,
Say so. Speak out brave and truly,
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should a brother workman dear,
Falter for a word of cheer?
Scatter thus your deeds of kindneu,
All enriching as you go;
Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giver
. He will make each seed to grow;
So, until its happy end,
Your life shall never lack a friend.

An ideal war Correspondent.
“In my day dreams,” said Mr. Archibald
Forbes, after a few introductory remarks to
his lecture on the “inner Life of a war Cor-
respondent,” at Lincoln Hall, last week,
“when smarting under the humihating con-
sciousness of my own deficiencies, I have
tried to think out the attributes that ought to
be concentrated in an ideal war correspond-
dent. He ought to possestho gift of tongues.
He should have the sweet temper of woman,
he afiable with everybody, and at the same
time big and ugly enough to impress the
conviction that it would be highly unwise to
take any liberties with him. The paragon
war correspondent should be able to rlde
anythinglthat chance may send him, from I
giraffe to a rat; should be able to ride
100 miles at a stretch; go without food
for a week, and if need be, without
sleep forever so long. Never to get tired;
never to feel the sensation of a slight sink-
ing, you know,’ and he should be able at the
end of a ride, of a journey, however long,
arduous and sleepless, to write in a good
round hand for the foreign telegraph clerk,
ignorant of the correspondent’s language, at
the rate of a column for six or eight consecu-
tive hours; after which he should,” a matter
of course, return to the scene of action with-
out a moment’s delay. He should be both a
practical and a scientific soldier. He ought
to have the supremest disregard for artillery
fire when real duty calls upon him to expose
himself in it, and his pulses should be as
calm when shells are bursting around him as
if he was watching his bosom friend having
his tooth extracted. He must have an in-
stinct for the place and day of the impending
combat ; he'mnst be able to scent the Com—
ing battle from afar and allow nothing to
hinder him from getting to it in time to be a
spectator of it. He _ must possess a real
genius for organization, so that he shall
never find himself at a miserable loss when
he has witnessed a mighty struggle, to have
witnessed which is useful to him only in or-
der that he may transfer the picture of it
drawn on his mental retina to the_pagel of
the newspaper he represents. He should be
so con ‘ uted as to have an intuitive per-
ception w the day has gone, to be able to
discern victory or defeat, when as yet to the
spectator the field of strife seems confusion
worse confounded and so to rely on his own
judgment as to venture, ere the turmoil has
died away, to turn his back upon it and ride
off, the earliest bearer of the momentous tid
ings. Alas, there was never such a man and
never will besucb a man."

Tourgce on the South.
A dinner was given to Judge Tourgee by the
Penn Club, of Philadelphia, sometime since.
Some of the gentlemen present tried with poor
success to impress the Judge with the bright-
futnrc in store for the South after the 4th of
March next. “How are the common schools
managed in the South ?" asked a gentleman,
to change the conversation, which threatened
to drift into local channels. “They are man-
agcd in the same way"that the darky hood
the hills of corn.” “Hdw’s that ?" “By
guess and by Ca,” retorted the author of
the “Fool’sErrand.” Judge 'I‘ourgee declar-
ed that there were fewer Northern people in
the South to—day than in 1660. He claimed
that “the only party in the South now is the
great mass of voters who have for their creed O
‘a Solid South.’ These men are at present
affiliated with the Democracy by force .of.
circumstances, but they 'would . rather join
the .chublicans. The two great political
parties are nothing to them,
