THE LIVERPOOL OF AMERICA.
How great is the imagination. [low lofty
are her ideas. Ilow beautiful her sentiments.
IIow picturesque her scenery that stretches
before the memory like a piece of canvas
waiting only the paintcr’s hand to guide and
fashion it with the wealth of his genius,
when lot from the silent piece of canvass
springs forth one of the most beautiful of
landscapes. Whence springs this long-hidden
piece of beauty? Had it long dwelt there
within the hidden resources of his brain, or
had it, like thry mysterious wanderer of
heaven, that moment merged before the
vision. How. strange is our sight—we sec
and yet we see not. It is as defective as the
color of the chamelon; we declare it is red,
while another it is white, when 10, another
would stake his all 'tis black ; and the mind
is pretty much the same; we do not see any—
thing in the same light; eiich views it from
a different point, and where we picture forth
beautiful cities or where noble cities could be
built.
How easy it is to build castles in the air
enclosed with all the splendor of royalty
surrounding them. Their magnificent cas—
tles, their beautiful temples, noble mosques
with her gardens filled with flowers, from
whose fragrance would be a fit shrine for the
gods. All this is beautiful to‘ feed the im-
agination, to float before the vision with si-
lent wonderment and to build for himself
mines of wealth, that has but to touch the
mysterious wand and the golden gates will
open that lead to the storehouses of treas-
ure, etc. But are they not like Aladin’s
temples P—the fruit and offspring of a fertile
mind, that would be capable of thrusting the
key of mystery into the dark and mysterous
chamber and unlocking the hidden revelations
of the gods.
We cannot set bounds to the fertility of
man ;_ his limit is beyond measurement; he
surmounts every obstacle; he overlcaps
every barrier until he scars in his monstrous
flights and pauses when he reflects upon
what has been accomplished. The great
Sicaras have been overcome. The great
‘ oceans have been overcome; the great oceans
have been brought apparently together; the
iron horse is rolling the freight from shore to
shore and linking tlmm as by an iron bar
never to be parted. Her factories that are the
life and the moving spokes-of a city are now
found all over the land. And what has
accomplished all this ? Where has it sprung ?
It is the fruit and offspring of fertile minds.
Who would have dreameda century ago that
New York would be the great city that you
see today, with her twelve hundred thou—
sand inhabiténts—one—tbird more than in the
State of California and Washington Territo-
ry combined. What feeds this great city
you may ask. It is her great resources that
she has to draw from—from the great West
that as yet is in its infancy. Look at Chica-
go, has she not growu beyond the wildest
expectations of man. But we say that she,
too, has a wonderful country to feed and
support her and therefore cannot help being
otherwise. . _
If these cities have grown so rapidly why
not Seattle ? This beautiful city is situated
on Puget Sound about 110 miles from_Victo-
ria and consequently in. easy communication
with the Pacific Ocean, with deep water
close in shore and capable of admitting the
largest ships, with a great mining country
back, with railroads that are now fast being
built which will link her with every part of the
and, with her great agricultural resources
' that now lies in its infancy. Her great prai-
ries, or rather extensive plains. lies as yet
wholly undeveloped. Her vast source of
mineral wealth lies as yet cntombcd within
her bowels, which are as rich in ore as the
mines of Peru or those of Mexico. Her
railroads are now piercing the heart of her
territory, the forest is yielding to the force
of thc woodman’s axe, and ore an age .shall
stvccp away where now roams thdl'cd mail,
will be fashioned magnificent farms stocked
with her herds of cattle and sheep. She has
just. the climate, where ’tis neither too hot
nor too cold, with but very little snow in
winter and the thermometer rarely reaching
as low as thirty nor rising above seventy-five
or eighty degrees. An abundance of rain
falls here annually, and the farmer has no
fears of a drought or a failure of hiscrops
as is the case in California; with a soil as
rich as that which lies upon the banks of the
Wabash or the valley of Mexico, of which
the climate here during the summer some-
what resembles.
People are now pressing in here rapidly
from every part of the Union, and all speak
in one manifest term that this will become
the future Liverpool of America. None only
those who have been here can form the
faintest conception of the rapidity that some
of the towns are growing. ‘ They seem, as
ilwerc, to spring forth in a single season,
for both Tacoma and Seattle are destined to
be places of considerable importance. Both
have commanding views of the Sound.
Both have beautiful natural scenery, equal
in some respects to the J urns of Switzerland
or the Sierras of this country. Her mountains
are crowned with snow. There stands Mt.
Ranier, of volcanic ‘origin, lifting itself
nearly 15,000 feet above sea level, is crowned
with snow to its very base, and as the sun
reflects his crimson rays at sunset'upon:the_
snow~white mantle that covers it forms a;
contrast With the surrounding country that
must be seen to be appreciated. It looks but
a league away from the city still it is thirty
leagues away. Both cities have deep water
communication, and captains complain that
it is difficult to anchor but a few hundred
yards from shore, and one thing they have
the advantage over Portland is that they have
no dangerous bar to cross, as many can tosti-,
fy who sees thobeautiful Republic lying off
the bar a total wreck.
There is now a railroad to Katama, 105
miles long, and they are working rapidly
upon the Northern Pacific, which when com-
pleted, who is there that is able to predict-
the future for Seattle, with her mines of
Wealth that are inexhaustible; with her vast
regions of timber that ere long will be fly—
ing over the roads to your Eastern markets.
There is enough timber here to supply the
nation for a century, and when the
time shall come that there shall be an open-
ing for this class otherWise than by water,
there will not be such a wholsalc slaughter
of it. Enough timber is here destroyed
each month to amount to thousands of dol—
lars if it could be in the Eastern markets
Such is the view taken of the city of the
Northwest, Who dare predict its future,
and who can tell, with her noble water front
but that a second Liverpool lies before us.
Time must be our philosopher.

The Apotlrcosis ot‘Dry Goods.
o
' Blessed be dry goods! Nobody can go
into a hotel, a railway ear, or steamboat cabin
in these days when all the world’is out of
doors, without discovering the enormous part
which they play in the lives of a certain class
of Americans. Dry goods are the basis and
sign of their aristocracy. Dresses from
Worth and rivers of diamonds take the place
which costs of arms and old mansions serve
in England or the Continent. How con-
venient, tool Your claims to consideration
and pdtcnt of nobility is packed up in your
trunk and can be produced at any moment.
Genealogical trees are not to be carried about
in the pocket to sum the passengers in a
railway train, and as for genius and learning
and good breeding, though these titles to
social rank are personal and portable, pass—'
engers _in railway trains do not always re—
cognizc them when they see them. The
greatest saint or philosophcror the.best-brcd
man in the States may he that shabby little
fellow in the back seat whom the conductor
bangs familiarly on the back as he shouts
“Ticket.” But “8. B. Flagg, Esq, of Flagg-
villc, and lady,” out on their wedding tour,
splendid in jcwellcd shirt buttons,gold tipped
crutch cane and traveling dress of marvellous
velvet and satin, he will not hang them on
the back i Everybody understands the jewels
and finery which the Flagg parade in hotel
parlors and on the street. They are necessary
as the index to the money behind, which is
their one solid social foundation. The Flaggs
and their class are sure that the world of
hotels and street is anxious to know what is
their social foundation. But there are times
when one would suppose they would not
trouble themselves to assert their money.
When Fla'gg dies, for instance, it is not to be
supposed that God and the dead whom he
has gone to meet are much concerned about
his social position. But the time of laying
the decaying body out of sight is the hour of
supreme triumph for dry goods with this class
in America. The flowcrs,thc line of carriages,
the sweeping trains of mcurning ! There is
a balm, a consolation in the outlay for these
things which assuages the kcencst grief in the
bosom of a feminine Flagg.
A wedding with people of refinement is of
all seasons the one when the peering curios-
ity of the public or a display which would
attract that notice, :is most obnoxious and
most carefully shut out. But in the Flagg's
class there are no weddings; they are alli-
ances. We read now and then with awe
and .envy the details of these great social
Events in the news'papers. Particulars are
invariably furnished by the high contracting
parties to the newspapers. They‘arc usdally
especially strong in statistics. The .price
accurately set down in millions is given of
the mansion in which the bride’s father
reside (far be it from such people to live in
a house l) .The mansion from base to great
overshadowing dome shines at the hour of
the nuptials with 10,000 lights of varying
hues. An imposing spectacle of 20,000 spee-
tators, surging for six long hours, is seen
outside the iron railings; the gifts amount to
$100,000; ten gigantic pyramids of cake and
flowers reach from table to candelabra; 75
(strictly colored) servants attended the guests
and the assistance of 100 white laborers was
required to arrange the grounds. A cordon
of 40 policemen kept back the surging masses
rom the 2,000 invited guests. Sometimes
the display leaves this sordid matbcmctieal
basis and soars into regions of splendor, half
Asiatic and half Chicagoan. We hear that
the hall in which the wedding takes place
was converted into a Moorish temple, a
glorious lath and wall~paper Alhambra;
Egyptian embroiderers are astonished by
imposing designs furnished by Mr. Jonc’s of
Grand Rapids; elephant-heads and date-
palms as large as life are arranged under the
direction of Thompson, of Detroit, utterly
regardless of cost; the very newest dados,
potteries and draperies are imported from
Asia and Europe; it is the very culmination
and triumph of dry goods.
Now,why is all this? The people who thus
frantically display pretentious clothes, to call
attention to themselves in hotels and cars, are
at heart not lacking in the good sense and
deep feeling which go so far to make up what
we call good taste. These young people who
are going to marry have probably much real
delicate feeling in the matter, and know that
it should be a sacred and quiet point in life;
why should they go to such enormous ex-
pense in order to make it a topic for discus-
sion in the papers and by the vast curious
public outside who read the papers ? Simply
because the Flaggs of society are not old
enough nor cultured enough to have out-
grown the belicf that their fortune and their
deaths and limit marriages are the objects of
supreme interest to all the world. The
question is, how many of us are Flaggs?
Every man and every woman‘s affairs inev-
itably appear to themselves of the highest
importance, but how many of us have good
breeding enough to keep that conviction out
of sight? A leader in 'society laughs at the
diamonds and ova-dressing of her neighbors,
and tqen inflicts a history of her baby's colic
or her opinions of the scenery upon the din
nor-table. What do all these people care for
her baby or her opinions ? It is the self-us-
sertion that is vulgar, not the inappropriate
satin and jewels. Arrogance and conceit find
a myriad ways of expression among us other
than dry goods. Let each of us look to his
own “way,” before we sneer at Flags and
his lady.—Trz‘bune.

Tribute to Rellglon.
Some thirty years ago a young man from
Southern Pennsylvania was on his way to
college, and entering the stage-coach, he
found as passengers several men whose loose
talk was chiefly in ridicule of the Bible.
He himself was not a, Christian, but was of
a Christian family, and he revorcnced his
parents for their faithful piety, which he
felt were both the strength and-beauty of
his early home. Paincd and provoked by
the blasphemies of his fellow-travelers, he
wab silent till he could bear it no longer, and
then he contradicted their statements, and
denied and opposed their assertions: Amused
at his unexpected boldness, and thinking
to .make short work of the youth, they
became more reckless and impudent than
before. He was not then the keen and
practiced debator he afterward became, .but
by the» Christian teaching of his home and
church. he had been well informed, and with
his spirit roused and speaking on the side of
truth, he gave them blow for blow and facts
for arguments,,till soon they were silenced
and‘gavc'up the discussion. At the end of
the stage route they. all entered the steam-
boat ’whicb was in Waiting, and had not been
long on board whenone who had been fore-
most inwopposing and ridiculing religion,
came to the'ydung man and asked, “Have
you a stateroom??? “I-have.” “Will you let
me shareiit' filth you?” “Why ?” “Because
1 am afraidto sleep with any one I (10 not
know lost 'I shall be murdered for my
money. If you will let me have one of ithe
two berths I shall esteem it a great favor."
Bis request was granted. But what a com-
mentary on his previous words and his
ridicule of the Bible and Christians.

OLD anronr Beams—In the Newport of
a generation ago there were still many relics
of the gay French days. The headquarters
of ltochumhcau, where the count received and
entertaincha‘shington when he came to New
port j a hundred years ago, in 1781. were
and Mary streets. It was a handsome man—
sion, and in the days When the Easy Chair
knew it, the window-panes were scratched
with the names of beam: and hello, vanished
with Rochambcau, Washington, and De
Chastellux, Dc Chabancs, De Champccretz,
and Bozon dc ’I‘alleyrand, the fascinating
group of French gentlemen and heroes, of
whom the charmed Newport beauties drew
only that came and went. There is a fine
glimpse of Washington in one of the French
memoirs, as he walked bare-headed, with
Rochambcau at his side, from the wharf to
his headquarters, between the lines of sold—
lore of both armies drawn up three deep.
“I regarded him,” says the Frenchman,
“with the attention which the sight of great
men always inspires. We half expect to find
in their features the genius which distin-
guishes them above thtfir fellows. Washing-
ton is adapted more than any other man to
produce this impression—tall, noble, well—
proportioncd, with an open, sweet, and calm
expression and interests French and Ameri—
cans, and even his armies."
Do the loitcrcrs on cottage piazzas at New-
port to-day know how full of ghosts is the air
around them? Do they smile a! the quaint
old belles and their stately minuets of a cent-
ury ago? lVould the lithest of the lovely
figures of this evening, floating on air, ex-
change the turn with the incomparable
wallzer for a grave bow from Washington as
a partner? For he too has danced in New:
port. In honor of his visit the citizens gave
a ball at the Assembly Room in Church
Street, and he was requested to open the
festivities. In later days, when Prince de
Joinville, on his way to St. Helena for the
dust of Napoleon, stopped at New York, and
went to a private ball, there was great flutter
of excited curiOsity as to the flrstpartncr
whom he would select after the host’s
daughter. It is singular that the lady whom
he asked became afterward the wife of a
French gentleman, an adherent of the Da—
chesse dc Berri.Tradition cherished the name
of Washington’s partner at the Newport ball.
He solicited the honor of the hand of th
beautiful Miss Champlin with a high—'brcd,
respectful courtesy which the incomparable
waltzer of to day might well emulate, and he
asked his partner to name the dance. The
lovely Champlin selected “A successful
Campaign”—a dance in high favor—and as
the hero led out his partner upon the floor,
the French officers, with graceful gallantry,
took the instruments from the musicians, and
played, while Washington and the Champlin
bowed and stepped and courtesied in the
minuct. She had beautiful eyes, said the
Prince dc Broglie, a sweet mouth, a perfectly
shaped face, line figure, pretty foot, and an
air altogether attractive, She was dressed and
coifed with taste ; “that is to say,” adds the
true Parisian, “a la Francoise ;” and spoke
the prince’s language. .
A quarter of'a century ago the grandson of
that famous beauty was living in her father's
house, where Washington took tea on the
evening of the ball. It had been the home
of five successive generations, and on one of
the windows—memorial windows were they
all—was still legible, scratched with a dia—
mond, the name of Betsey Haliburton. The
name of another of the belles whom the
Frenchman saw is familiar from that of the
famous library founded by Abraham Red-
wood. His daughter was “exceedingly beau-
tiful," and tradition declares, without fear
of denial, that sailors, stepping ashore from
long sea-voyages, lifted their hats as they
passed, and gazed as if they had seen an an-
gel. Boys of a generation before that which
the Easy Chair recalls remembered a grave
old lady mixing wine and eggs and sugar in
a pan, then stepping into the paddock where
the cow was grazing, and returning with a
foaming syllabub.’ It was the beautiful Red-
wood, the fricnd of the Champlin and of the
daughters of William Ellery,who signed the
Declaration of Independence, one of whom
was the mother of Dr. Charming and the
grandmother of the wife of Washington
Allstcn. There were other beauties whose
names survive. The Misses Hunter were
“rivals in beauty and reputation” of the ador-
able Champlin, the elder of whom “dresses as
well, but not quite so freshly, perhaps,” while
the younger, if not of so lofty an air, “is a
rose in person.”
But the queen of the fairies was a Quaker
Titania. All the French memoirs, glow and
palpitaterwith the charms of Polly Lawton.
“The goddess of grace and beauty,” exclaims
De Broglie: “I confess that the seductive
Lawton appeared to me to be the chef d’oeuor
of nature.” “A luymph rather than a wo—
man,” says Do Segur: “so much beauty, so
much simplicity, so much elegance, and so
much modesty were perhaps never combined
in the same person." The divine Quakcrcs s
reproached him for making war, and for
obeying the king rather than God. “What
could I, reply to that angel ?" sighs the cap-
tive, doubtless recalling Madame 1e Comtesse
de Segur; “for in truth I was tempted to be-
lieve that she was a celestial being." The
prince and the count departed, as the duke
and the marquis and all the gay and gallant
gentlemen of Rochambeau’s army had depart-
cd two years before, and five years later came
Brissot dc Warvillc,and in this paradise,from
which in the late summer midnight, as an
oldfashioned wanderer lingers upon the beach
he seems to hear in‘ the pauses of the surf the
faint beat of ‘festal music far away, and to
catch the glimmer of the lovely faces of
“dear dead women," the French citoyen
saw “hideous women, lean children, was
men......Ncwport seemed to me like a tomb
where living corpses dispute about a few
roots." -
As the great-grandchildren of the French-
men who helped us to win our great victory
come to help us to celebrate its centennial an-
niversary, they will look with singular inter-
est at the old French camping ground, and
upon the seencs which their fathers saw.
They will doubtless assert—true children of
their fathers l—yet why should they deny
what is undeniable ?—that the lovely Chain.

“It don’t do to fool with giant powder,"
said an old-timer yesterday in the Boomerang
office. “It's powerful stuff, I had a $10,-
000 mine over in the Queen of Shelby district
in ’50 called the Gcsnhallhemlock claim. I
was filmed $10,000 for it, with $5,000 in
Sagebrush placer stock besides, it she opened
‘up as well ten foot further down. We put
in- a blast of giant powder and when we wont
to make an examination we couldn’t find the
Goshallhemlock with an assessor and a search
warrant. The hole was there, but there
wasn’t quartz enough to throw at a yaller
dog. My titles is to sell a mine just before
you put in the giant powder, and then if the
buyer wants to blow the property into the
middle of next Christmas, let him do it."—

A Tribute to General Thomas.
anon AN ADDRESS Barons. THE ARMY or run
CUMBERLAND, AT CLEVELAND, MARCH 25TH.
1870, by GENERAL JAMES A. GARFIELD.
I know that each of you here present sees
him in memory at this moment, as we often
saw him in life; erect and strong, like a
tower of solid masoniy; his broad, square
shoulders and massive head; his abundant
hair and full board of light brown, sprinkled
with silver; his broad forehead, full face,
and features that would appear colossal but
for their perfect harmony of proportion; his
clear complexion, with just enough color to
assure you of robust health and a well regu-
lated life; his face lighted up by an eye that
was cold gray to his encmics,but warm, deep
blue to his friends; not a man of iron, but
of live oak. His attitude, form and features
all assured you of inflexible firmness, of
incxpugnable strength, while his wel-
coming smile sct every feature aglow with
a kindness that won your manifest affection. .
If thus in memory you see his form and fea-
tures, even more vividly do you remember
the qualities of his mind and heart. His
body was the fitting type of his intellect,
and character; and you saw both his intel-
the fiery furnace of war, and by other tests
not less searching. ' ‘hus, comrades, you see
him; and your memories supply a thousand
details which complete and adorn the pic—
ture. I beg of you, therefore, to supply
the deficiency of my work from those living
phototypes in your own hearts. '
Thomas’slifc is a notable illustration of
the virtue and power of hard work; and in
the last analysis the power to do hard work
is only another time for talent. Professor
Church, one of the instructorsat West Point,
says of his student life, that “he never allow-
cd anything to escape a- thorough examine-
tion, and left nothing behind that he did not
fully comprehend.” And so it was in the
army. To him a battle was neither an
earthquake, nor a volcano, nor a chaos of
brave men and frantic horses, involved in
vast explosions of gunpowder. It was
rather a calm, rational concentration of
force against force. It was a question of
lines and‘positions; of weight and of metal
and strength of battalions. He knew that
the elements and forces which bring victory
are not created on the battle field, but must
be patiently elaborated in the quiet of the
camp, by the perfect organization and outfit
of his army. His remark to a captain of
artillery while inspecting a battery, is worth
remembering, for it exhibits his theory of
success: “Keep everything in order, for‘
the fate of a battle may turn on a buckle or
a linchpin." He understood so thoroughly
the condition of his army, and its equip-
ment, that when the hour of trial came, he
knew how great a pressure it could stand,
and how hard a blow it could strike.

Lassolng a Wild Cat.
Ford County ( Kan.) Globe.
Now let it be understood that when Dr.
Carlson said, “Jump in, Harry, and stop a
week at my ranche,” the aforesaid Harry
had no thought of cats—:wild, tame or other-
wise. A pleasant drive of twenty-eight
miles brought us to the famous Bluff Creek
ranehc, where the great heathen missionary,
Rev. John Glenn, is resident pastor and dis-
tributor of food, raiment and German min-i
oral water to the foot-sore, the weary and
the range of the doctor “takes bolt." After
crossing this we “observed in the distance a‘
solitary horseman,’ who on closer observation
proved to be one of the doctor’s henchmen.
While talking cow to him a tremendous
wild cat, fully four feet long. jumped up in
front of us and started for the bush, but
the rowcls were already in the flanks of
Charles’ horse, and at a break-neck speed,
the lariat curving its graceful but certain
coils above his head, went pursuer and pur.
sued. When within twenty-five feet of his
catship the luriat was thrown, and, uncir-
cling like the weird chain of the magician,
landed the fatal noose around loudon’s neck.
Never was a eat of any description in a
tighter embrace; horse at full run, the rope
fastened to the horn of the saddle, and the
game making unwilling jumps at twenty to
thirty feet. This, however, only lasted a few
hundred feet, when the cat, catching the
rope with his teeth, snapped it as if it
were a tow string. Charley, finding that
this line was empty and his book gone (as a
fisherman would say), returned to look at
the dead quadruped. Deadl “He was not
dead, but sleeping." For witha yell and
two bounds he clears at least forty feet, and
fastening one set of claws in Charles leg-
gins and the other in the hip of the horse,
he seemed to insist on a ride and a square
men]. But for the presence of mind of the
rider and his luck in having a three pound
loaded quirt, with which he mashed the ani-
mal's skull, we rather opine he would have
been the best mounted wild cat in the cattle
regions of the west.

Gnow'rn or CIGARETTE Smoxmo.—-The
Bureau of Internal Revenue reports that
during the fiscal year ending J unc 30th last,
there were taxed at $1.75 per thousand, 567,
386,082 cigarettes, nettinga revenue of $992,
929.22. A very high grade of cigaettc which
is taxed $6 per thousand, and of which only
9,000 were manufactured, brought in a rove—
nuc of $54. The total revenue from cigar-
ettes for the past fiscal year is thus seen to
be $992,983.22 For the year preceding the
revenue from cigarettes taxed at $1.75 per
thousand was $715,227.39, and from cigar-
ettes taxed at $6 per thousand, $42. This
made a total revenue for the fiscal year end-
ing J one 30, 1880, of $715,269.39. In
twelve months there has been an increase in
the revenues derived from cigarettes of
$277,711.83.
Woman 0F Taxman-The Moors are hand-
some men, haughty of featurc,and with great
dignity of carriage. The Arab women, of
whomwe met not so many, left their charms
to the imagination. Though they were muf-
fled up to the eyelids, showing only a strip
of but]? forehead, they generally turned aside
their faces as we approached them. Their
street custom was not elaborate—a volumi-
nous lincn mantle, apparently covering noth-
ing but In wide-sleeved chemise reaching to
the instep and caught at the waist. Their
bare feet were thrust into half-slippers and.
their finger-tips stained with henna. Some
had only one eye visible. In the younger
women, that one pensive black eye peering
out from the snowy coif was very piquant.
The Hebrew maidens were not so avaripious
of themselves, but let their beauty frankly
blossoms in doorways and at upper case-
‘ments. Many of the girls were as slender
and graceful as viucs. In their apparel thy
appeared to affect solid colors—blues, ochres,

Mother, mother, in thcldoorway,
Waiting, waiting for a word,
Watching, watching for a message,
Tearful, trusting in the Lord, -
Would our wealth of love could nerve you.
Would a people‘s prayers could serve you.
And good cheer afford.
Mother, mother, in the doorway,
Once you nursed a baby boy,
Taught. his little feet to toddlc,
Taught his helpless hands to toy
With his playthings, prattling, smiling,
Your young motherhood beguiling
With his infant joy.
Mollier, mother, in the doorway,
You who showed him virtuc's path,
Guided him past childhood’s perils,
Through the ways removed from wrath.
Well that son repays your guarding,
Love with richest lovc rewarding,
In manhood's aftermath.
Mother, mother, in the doorWay,
Watching in the noontide glow,
On your white locks seem to linger
Kisses set there long ago,
And with later kisses blending,
As the Nation’s ruler, bending,
Greets the mother’s brow. ’
Mother, mother, in the doorway,
Stricken with a mother’s grief,
You are looking where the lonely——
We are told—shallfind relief ;
Looking far beyond the valley,
Toward the field where soldiers rally
From the battle brief. ’
Mother, mother, in the doorway,
Couragel in this hour of woe,
For the nation’s soul is with him,
Though the waters ebb or flow;
With our hist’ry his is written,
And our hearts with yours are smitten,
And our heads are low.
Mother, mother, in the doorway,
Great his work and bravely done.
On the country’s roll of honor
Proud the place he‘nobly won;
We, his name who dearly cherish,
Would not let the soldier perish
Could man save your son.

To MY LOST ONE.
BY J. H. M.
What art thou doing to-night love,
What art then doing tonight?
We were wont to walk by the river bank
In the days of my delight;
Art thou walking the streets of the heavenly
world,
Beside the crystal sea,
Dost then walk alone, and send from for
No tender thought to me?
What art thou saying to-night, love,
What art thou saying to—night ?
We used to talk of the heavenly world
In the days of my delights ;
Dost thou speak of Christ to the angel band,
In converse pure and free,
Dost thou speak to them in accents soft,
And have no word for me?
What art thou singing tc-night, love,
'What art thou singing tc-night?
We used to sing the old folk-songs
In the days of my delight;
Dost thou sing the song of the glorific’tl, '
From sin and sorrow free, ‘
While 1 beside the harp unstrung
Can catch no note for me?
a
The night is dropping its curtain. love,
To hide me while I weep,
I think of thee in my waking hours,
I see thee in my sleep; ,
Thou art talking to me as in days gone by,
Thy trembling hand I take ;
Thou art singing my song. ohl hold me fast,
And do not let me wake.

Summer said to the Spring, “What a wonder-
ful thing
It is to bring in so much sweetness and
grace—
I am sure that to you my blossoms are due,
And I feel'I am taking your place.
“I never can blush, but I thing of your flush;
And the eyss of the flowers at evening are
wet ;
There was something so:fair in your innocent
. air.
That your going we can but regret."
“You beautiful corner," said
Summer, ‘
“I lived out my life but to brighten your '

I heard the buds swelling, and could not help

For I knew you would see them someday.

And to help one another is less for all ;
And perhaps you’ll be willing, your mission
fulfilling,
To leave something to brighten the fall.

Beside the toilsnmo way.
Lonely and dark, by fruits and flowers im-
blcst‘, ' ~ '
Which my ‘worn fl ct tread sadly day by day,
Longing in Vain for rust.
An angel softly walks,
With pale, sweet face, and eyes cast mcekly
down,
The while from withered leaves and flower—
lcss stalks
She weaves my fitting crown.
A sweet and patient grace,
A look of firm endurance, true and tried,
Of suffering meckly borne, rests on her face—
So pure, so glorified.
And when ‘my fainting heart
Desponds and murmurs at its adverse fate,
Then quietly the angel’s bright lips part,
Whispering softly, “Wait l"
“Patience l" she sweetly saith—
“ l‘hc Father’s mercies never come to late;
Gird thee 'with patient strength and trusting
ll. 9' ,
And firm endurance—wait 1"
Angel, behold, I wait!
Wearing thethorny crown through all life’s
hairs,
W ait till the hand shall open the eternal gale
And change the thorns to flowers.
