When Grief shall come to thee,
Think not to flee,
For Grief, with steady pace,
Will win the race;
Nor crowd her forth with Mirth,
. For at thy hearth,
When Mirth is tired and gone,
Will Grief sit on; ’
But make of her thy friend,
And in the end
Her counsels will grow sweet,
And, with swift feet,
Three lovelier than she
Will come to thee—
Calm Patience, Courage strong,
And Hope—ere long.

From the North American Rewfew-
The startling lessons of'the Death
of Garfield.
BY GAIL HAMILTON.
Never again let this generation, at. least,
hear one whimper from science against‘rc-
ligion. In the long warfare religion has
often chosen her ground with stupidity, se-
lected her weapons with ignorance, and
wielded her forces with passionate feeble-
ncss, but she never made so pitiful a display
_ and a so futile a use of her resources as
science made over the death-bed of President
Garfield. When the question is of nebulae,
of atoms. of the rock’s growth and the earth’s
age, of the spirit’s substance, of life’s origin,
of the infinite in space, the inconceivable
in time,- the unknowable in eternity, science
has it all her own way. We cannot bridge
the chasm between mind afid matter. No
man hath seen God at any time, to prove
him the Creator. From the grave no being
has arisen to our eyes, and from the stars no
voice comes to our ears to dispute whatever
the wise men may say. Buthere was solid
ground for science to stand on and demon-
strate her power. She had nothing. to do
with the remote. with the past, with abstrac-
tions. Before her eyes, under her hand, lay
a human soul in sore strait.a human life
haunted into the valley of the shadow of
death, longing to come out again. into theg
sunshine of..the fair and open day. The
whole Nation,'the whole world, shared in
the. longing. Whatever love and wealth
could proffer was ready to the hand of
science. Everything that gratitude could
inspire, everything . that ambition could de-
sire, lay in wait to reward the man who
should conduct the august sufferer back
through the gates of life. And science ac-
cepted the trust maufully. The most cele-
brated and the most accomplished brought
to that darkened chamber their highest know-
edgewith ever-renewed and unwarying ef-
fort. The railroad and , the telegraph were
put under their control. No cost hindered-
any experiment or curtailed any care. The
Nation stood behind, not only brains and
money to the same end, urged their own
self-interested, patriotism and humanity.
Day and night they ceased not to work and
watch, and the result was—failure, absolute,
thorough, undisputed failure—failure so
minute and complete that only its terrible
gravity kept it from being ridiculous,and not
even its terrible gravity could keep it from
being grotesque. -

Science can spin the world back between
her thumb and finger a billion years, and we
go spinning with it because we cannot help
ourselves. Science can locate the soul in the
grayish matter of the brain, and we submit
because We cannot dig deeper than the
grayish matter to search for (a deeper soul.
But when science comes intia practical
realm where we can prove or disapprove her
accuracy, her keeuest scent for truth, her
finest touch of skill is to grope till the man
isdead and then find the bullet in a wash-
bowil Nescience could do that. What
availed science to Garfield? She never
treated or touched the wound which the bul-.
let made and which she was summoned to
heal- She never even found it. She made
two ghastly wounds herself, and for eighty
days she clawed at them. The bullet which
the surgeons could not find, nature carefully
eucystcd. The bullet wound which they
never touched nature safely and silently
healed. Surgical science is ,reduced ito the
pitiful claim that she alone kept Garfield
alive for eighty days. This is suicidal self.

the tangible field of fact, she flees to the
cloudland of speculation, and again throws
up intrenchments. So claimed the pious and
I thrifty Winchester Ifor Bluff King Hal:
The church’s prayers made him so prosperous.
And as grim Gloster thundered back:
The church l Where is it ?
Had not churchmen prayed
His thread of life had not so soon decayed ;
so in response to this claim, which can never
be demonstrated, it is equally irrefutable and
perfectly fair to say:

His thread of life had not so soon decayed.

But when the weary soul had' fled, and
this fine and far-reaching science could fall
to work like a butcher in the shambles—the
bullet is not there! It never had been there.
Science was so wholly blind to the bullet’s
location'that she took an hour and a half to_
find it, even in the shambles. The bullet
lay remote, concealed, where kindly nature
wove around it the curtain of harmlessncss,
while a malignant and mischievous pus-
Pocket was personating it to the credulous
surgeons and laughing science to scorn for
eighty days. Life guarded her secret well.
Death did not toss up a flattened leaden ball
to a useless and senseless scalpel. I touch
upon these dire facts which all men shudder

rams POWERLESS TO save.
But while her foe, science—falsely so
called, nescience rightly named, since true
science and true religion are not only not
foes, but two phases of one truth—while
science is thus humiliated, religion, if never
again, can afford to. be frank, and admit'that
her pretentious, too, were a good deal shat-
tered'by that treacherous bullet. The faith-
cure was applied, and it failed just as
egregiously and just as conspicuously as the
science cure failed. It was appealed to, not
with skeptical and sneeriug inten‘ut with
sincerity and humility. The Nation fell
upon its knees in a common grief and a com-
mou desire. Men were not content to pray
in secret with individual earnestness. They
wanted to intensify their earnestness with an
allied enthusiasm. Theywould besiege the
Throne of Grace in battalions. They took
the Almighty at His- word, literally, and
every day the sick man travelled toward the
tomb, till *he sank into darkness. Then the
spokesmen of religion,instead or recognizing
them, straightmyjurned about and began
to explain them away. They refused to ad.
ed, and begun to argue that they were an-
swered, only in another way. This isneither
scientific nor religious. It is not frank. It
is not sensible. It is not scriptural. If man
ask bread shall God give him a stone ? St.
James says squarely, the prayer of faith

raise him up—not reconcile the Nation to
seeing him castdown. The Bible is not a
straightforward and bench book if its words
must be thus twisted to make them true.
The Nation in good faith asked for the
President’s life. It__is idle tosay that We
wanted it if God saw that it wasrbest. That
goes without saying. If God saw that it was
best, He would order it himself. No one
supposes, that God will ever do less than
best.‘ The directions are simple. The con-
tract is easily understood. St. James does
not hedge.
The prayer of faith shall save the sick and
the Lordshall raise him up. We prayed the
prayer of faith and it did not save the sick.
The Lord did not raise him up. Must it be
said that it was not the prayer of faith? ‘It
was all the faith there was. Everything of
summer of pain and prayer, and the only
prayer answered and the only plan matured
were Guiteau’s.He said he was divinely inspir:
ed to remove the President—and he did re-
move him-by the most cowardly of murders.
He said he would harmonize the Republican
party, and over that coach of suffering all
parties and all factions were hushed for two
months. A liar from the beginning, a
monster of intelligence and iniquity, sprang
from the drags of _an ancestral blood whose
revolutionary force and religious fervor had
left this horrible' sediment of maliguity and
murder, his hand slaughtered alofty life and
reversed a national movement. Religion
may well shudder to behold the man, but he
is hers. He is not an infidel. He is a chris-
tian.
It is a ghastly and loathsome skeleton, but
it is the skeleton of a pure ancestral Hugue-
not faith, perfect in all its parts. Heavenly
influence divine protection and providence,
communion with God,,companionship_ wifii
Christ—there is act a. sacred truth, a solemn
trust, which Guiteau has not beslimed with
the acrid poison of his tongue. Naming
. every name which the church holds holy, he
stands before the church and the world to-
tally depraved, proving by the horror with
which we regard him, how little the church
has ever believed in the doctrine of total
depravity. Let us be frank. The church
stood ready, watching, eager to leap up and
claim for prayer the credit of Garfield’s re.
covery. She could not wait the issue. When
the cloud lifted a little and let a momentary
gleam of hope shine through, the church
sang softly, tentatively, timidly. as needs
she must. her delight in the answer to pray-
er.
But if Garfield’s recovery was answer to
prayer and justification of the church’s
theory, then his death .was the non answer
to prayer and the destruction of her theory.
‘ If the church fouuds her philosophy on the
sand, that philosophy must crash when the
sand is washed away. When James, a ser-
vant of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, sent
his greeting to the twelve tribes which were
scattered abroad and assured them that the
prayer of faith should save the sick, it may
well be that he spoke the truth. I can. easily
believe that He by whom the worlds were
made was perfectly acquainted with all the
properties 'and forces of matter, and could
certify himself to His feeble and ignorant
followers by combinations and appliances,
which science has taken thousands of years
to. feel after, and will take thousands more
tOI command. But to say that he does it
n 'w——-to say,.that, in response to the prayers
ofIthe church, he did it last summer for the
Uhited States of America is a statement
which intelligence cannot accept and which
seclesiasticism cannot enforce. Science, in-
deed, reaped a harvest of humiliation, but
theology won no laurels from this solemn
summer. When surgery had relinquished
the tortured body and theology had tried to
readjust herself from the shock of the re-
lsascd soul,-law came to the front to avenge
violated justice and to protect menaced soci-
ety. ‘

unquesti cued and unquestionable, that a bad
man—a liar, a swindler, ,a malignant from
the beginning, cankered with conceit, in-
flamed with egotism--murdered a man in
open day, in the presence of many witnesses.
The penalty of murder is the rope. Wide,
one might suppose, would be the gate and
broad the way and swift the march to that
man to the gallows. The days passed into
weeks and the weeks into months, and the
air whose sacred hush received the last
breath of the beloved President was foul with
the obscenity and profanencss, the gibss and
jeers and jokes, the rage and the boasts. the
impudcnce and audacity of the coward,
murderer, assassin; all the dignity of the
court, all the formality of law, all the rev-
cnce due to learning, to virtue, to position,
to womanhood, were not able to restrain him
within the, bounds of decency. To one
thingonly he proved amenable, and that was
rough Western justice—a Leadville miner’s
threat; one man, who had small faith in
Eastern formula, stood behind his wife, and
made to the cowardly Guitean the simple
statement. that one word in derogation of
that wife and he would shoot him on the
spot. It was enough, and the assassin’s
threatened exposure crumbled into maud in
praise. . Bench and bar and jury could not
defend themselves against Guitean’s noisy
and vulgar scurrility.{And what did the law
accomplish? What new reverence for its
methods and its triumphs did we acquire
who watched its slow progress? Guiteau,
with his clear, shrer mind, knew at the
outset that his danger lay from mob law
rather than from statute law. He made all
his arrangements to flee from popular ijus-
tics, which would have torn him in pieces
instantly, to legal justice, which is' loitering
and uncertain. And his faith was justified.
The way of- the law, instead. of being short.
sharp and decisive, was not only loud with
his rant, but sortuous and conclusive.
Mountains of testimony were heaped up
around facts which were admitted to begin
with. Agreat cloud of expert witnessess
were summoned toinvestigate Guiteau’s
brain with as child-like a faithas if an equall
great cloud of experts had not, been brought
to shame over Garfield's body. And when
all the time and talent, and money expended,
not a single new relation was developed,
All the forms and solemuities of the law
only came to the point that the public had
reached in four-and-twenty—hours—that the
assassin was a human monster, who should
be hung by the neck till. he is dead. The
universal relief that was felt when the jury
brought in the verdict shows how widespread
was the apprehension that the law had dark-
ened counsel by . words without knowledge.
The great satisfaction lay not in assurance
but that common sense had been successful
over law.
GARFIELD ms nu: HERO.
‘The only man who gathered glory from
the assassination was the victim—the Presi-
dent, the politician, the statesman. Sur-
gery, theology, law, may;well ask of the fu-
ture the mercy of its silence, but 'to the gel-
lery of heroes politics may proudly add an-
other form, of proportions as grand and
symmetrical as any which the past can show
or the future promise. And this politician
was one who had touched and turned from
the pulpit and the bar, and found in politics
only his congenial and abiding home. Nor
was he a figure arranged for exhibitions,
prepared for the occasion. The occasion
found him. As much by accident as any-
thing in this world is accident, the cross fell
upon him which has since become his crown.
He was a man who,beforc taking the highest
degree, had passed through every lchr
grade. The pervading popular judgment
had not found him exceptionally great
or exceptionally good. His own knew him,
but when waves of political censure swept
over the land he was not exempt. When
Congressional methods were denounced,
he was even singled out for the hostile clam-
or.
Personal slander—that political weapon so
common and so reckless—assailed him with
its utmost virulence. It did net confine it-
self to political antagonism—it attacked
private character. Nothing that should
characterizc a thief, a perjurer,a bribe-taker,
a, liar, failed to be afiirmed, publicly and
persistently ,of‘ this man. Up to ,the ,very
day ofI his election, up'to the very eve of his
murder, his psaos was assailed by them-
Wearying voice of slander. On the Friday
chafing before the fatal Saturday that slew
him he declined an urgently sought visit,
because he must needs pass thrdugh Boston,
and the official saluations of Boston must
come' to him from lips which had uttered-
slanders that he could neither resent nor
overlook. Thus—in the presence of death
let us be perfectly fearless and perfectly
frank—thusbesmearedjwith all the mud that
pelitical fury can fling, suddenly, without a
moment’s warning, without a single instant
to hide his iniquity, to cleanse himself from
sin, or to fold his robs Roman-wise about
him, this man was struck down to helpless-
ness and death. As instantly all, the smirch
and smear vanished into non-existence, and
he lay {a prostrate figure of purity, and pa-
tience, and patriotism, the shining image of
domestic virtue, of manly heroism of political
nobility. For eighty days '
. —in stem silence
Ills thraldom he bore,
Till the last morning came
And death opened the door;
and never under any test did one jet or tittlc
of.manhood fail him. Every republic on
this earth and every soul that turns wistfully
tovvard' freedom, gazed with infinite interest
upon his long struggle to know what manner
of man a republic nurtures, and every re-
publicun‘heart thrilled with joy, in all its
heaviness, to See that never king nor kaiser
bore himself more royally. Let it also be
but in simple subservance to the truth, that
he had held on his calm uns’werving, patient
way, under the severest infiictions of the
”doctors and. without .elp from the clergy.

trust that ;Christiaus' know, he passed

It is commonly received opinion that the
wife of Gen. Stark, who commanded at-thc
battleof Bennington. was named Mollie,and
the General’s famous words spokeanust be-
fore the battle, as usually quoted, read:
“There boys, are our enemies; to-night they
must be ours, or Mollie Stark’s a widow.’
But according to a New Hampshire corres-
pondent of The Boston Journal: “Gen. John
Stark’s Wife was not named Mellie, or Mary,
or anything of the sort. She was Elisabeth,
the daughter of Caleb Page, Esq., of Dan-
barton, N. H., and was married to John
Stark on the 20th of August, 1758. The late
Rev. Thomas P. Rodman has givlr usaI poem
on “The Battle of Bennington,” from which
‘we take the metrical allusion to the above
legend: ' - ~

Jeweller! Garters.
The fashion for wearing'jewelled garters
has spread so rapidly that jewelers all keep
the articles in stock. They are very expen-
sive. A member of a conspicuous firm ex-
plains: “The rage is recent but none the less
strong, and it promises to spread indefinite-
ly as the range is as unlimited as the purse.
All the prominent society women and many
who are not in society wear them. You see,
women constitutionally delight in pretty
‘things, and their adornment is of more in-
terest and enjoyment to them than anything
else. If you willcome down stairs, HI show
you the stock.” ‘ ,
There'was a show case full of them, each
pair mounted in a velvet box“ The pattern
was the same in all as far as the band was
concerned. The band was a full inch wide:
made of fine elastic and covered with beau-
tifully woven silk of every conceivable
shade, pale blues and warm reds predomi-
nating. They are designed to match the
tint of the dress worn with them. In one
case two hearts shaped .clasps of colored gold
pearls, joined the ends ' of a scarlet band
with little frills of silk along the edges.
The price was $100. A pair with two oval
elasps of hammered gold, perhaps an inch in
length, could lg bought. for $60, while the
cheapest pair, with plain geld elasps, .was
$40. . ’
“It’s a curious fact," said the jeweler,“that
the cheap ones won't sell. When a customer
wants an elegant garter, hc—I mean, she—
is willing to pay forit." . ’ .j' . ’
A pair that cost $225 had two shields with
three big pearls in each and little diamonds
at the edges. Another pair was expensive
through its delicate lace, with two little gold
disks elaspiug in the center. _
At ganother establishment the jeweler
said: , ‘
“The majority of them are made to order.
Your visit is opportune, as I have just fin-
ished the most exhousive pair that ever left
my factory. The price is $1,200.” In this
the lace and pearl-colored silk band was
joined by an elaborate clasp. On one side
was the lady’s monogram in pearls; on the
other the coat-of-arms, :with frosted storks'
heads, a crestofI delicately ca.ved gold, and
ammo set" imehip diamonds. It wasa pres-
ent from a mother to her daughter, who is to
be married soon. ' '

They have a remarkable artesian well in
Boston. It has been driven 2,503 feet with-
out striking a head which will raise the' water
to the surface, and work upon it has been
stopped. A drive-pipe 165 feet in length
and eight inches in diameter, was first driven
in sections of ten feet. After that the well
was drilled with 73— inch pipe, which now
reaches to the extreme depth of the well.
The following is the record of the work and
the different kinds of stone and earth bored:
The first six feet was filling, which was suc-
ceeded by forty feet of black soft earth and
ninety feet of stiff clay, of a drab color. Next
there were seven feet of coarse gravel, mixed
with salt water, followed by twenty-three
feet of stifif drab-colorql clay. It was not
until 300 feet had'been drilled when a water
seam was struck, and it seemed to be of good
quality. In drilling to a depth of 1,100 feet
slate rock was struck followed by a small
stream of water; at 1,400 feet an increase of
water Was perceptible; at 1,600 feet a still
greater increase was noticeable. At that.
depth gold-bearing crystal query rock was
struck, twenty-five feet thick. Next came
about twenty feet of slate rock and then ten
feet’more of quartz. When 1,700‘feet was
reached a large stream of fine water was
struck, which rose in a short time to within
three feet of the ground thrbugh the pipe.
At a depth of 2,150' feet work was stopped
for some time. and when boring began again
stratus-of granite and slate were struck al-
ternately. - At 2,325 feet a stream of water
larger than any previously found was reach-
ed. When the drilling reached to the enor-
mous depth of 2,503 feet, some time last J an-
uary, work was stopped and the water tested.
The water had a sulphus taste,and resembled
that of the [Hathorne spring at Ssratoga.
With the use of a siphon from 200,000 to
300,000 gallons of water were obtained in
one day. The well is the deepest in the
country.
Destruction ofAmerican Forests.
In our own country we ave gone to the
forests in akind of freeboo r style, cutting,
and burning more than we could cut, acting
for the most part as though all the while in
a frolic or a fight,uutil now at leugth,aftcr a
century or two of this sort of work, we are
waking up to the facts that our once bound-
less woods are disappearing, and tint we are
likely to suffer no little loss thereby. But
it is only the few who seem new to have
any adequate sense of . our condition as ef-
fected by the threatened loss of the trees.
In a recent publication, issued by authority
of one of our Western States fer the express
purpose of attracting settlers from European
countries, the statistics of its great lumber'
production are elaborately set forth, accom-
panied by the assurance that the present
enormous consumption of trees for this
purpOse may be continued ten or fifteen years
longer before the forests will be destroyed.
The cool uncoucern in regard to the future
shown in this is very noticeable. “After us,
the deluge.” A corresponding feeling,though
working on a much smaller scale, is seen in
an advertisement,and of a class often appear-
ing in our older States. “Brace up, Young
Man. You have lived on your parents long
enough. Buy this" farm, cut of the wood,
haul it to market, get your money for it, and
pay for the fatim..._..:.Th_e_. owner estimates
that three will be 500 cords bf market wood.”
And so, all over the country, on the large
scale and ;the small, the axe is laid at the
mots of the trees, and our forests ire disap-
of forest land are cleared every year, and
that in ten years previous to 1870, 12,000,000
acres were burned over simply to clear the.
land—Harper’s for April.

ADAM ATWATER‘S ACHIEARHENTS AND ADVEN-
TURES—AN AUTHENTIC ACCOUNT
Almost an age ago,abode at Audover,Adam
Atwater. IAvocatiou. an artist. Able and ac-
complished, active and ambitious,:all admired
Adam. An adept at anything, Adam also
acted as an assistant at an academy, affording
aid at arithmetic, algebra,_astronony, and-so-
forth. Adam’s affluent Aunt Almira! also
abode at Andover, {ind although austere and
arbitrary, ‘and an aristocrat, appreciated
Adam’s astouishingachievementgand abund~
autly administered aid, assigning an annual
allowance. Achsah Ashley, anxious and aim-
less, artful and audacious, attending acade-
my, and after awhile uttcmptcd attracting
and alluring Adam, appearing awfully affec-
tionate, assuming afiecting attitudes, alto-
gether acting abominably.’ Adam, al-
ready afilauded, avoided all Achsah’s ad-
vances, and although annoyed, assiduously
attended accustomed avocations. Again and
again Achsah attemptcd alienating Adam’s
ailections.Adam,always afiable and admirble,
adverse at avengingan affront,and anxiously
avoiding Ianaltcrcation, asked an absence
"and about autumn,abruptly absconded. Ar-
riving at Australia after awhile Adam at.
tempted agriculture. Also acted as at-
torney, amicably, adjusted. .sll annoy-
ances and animosities aniong Austra-
lians. Achaah,lsscertaiuing about Adam’s
absence, appeared abstracted and sctually‘ste
arsenis,Iand awaitedjangel’sjapparcl. Anon,
acute ague and asthma attacked and almost
annihilated Adam, Anxious Australians
attended an ' administered alleviations
and anodynes. Alas, athletic Adam!
An alien and alonh, altered and aged,
amazingly, appetite abating, abject, ac-_
tually asking alms and anxious about
athauced and Aunt Almira. Adam’s aspect
appeared alarming.“ After awhile American
atmosphere alluring, an accommodating Aus-
tralian accompanied Adam across Atlantic,
arriving about April at Andover, st Aunt Al-
mira's abode,attenuated and almost an appar-
ition. [Able allopsths advised ale, alco-
hol and active xastriugents. Arabella
Allen, an authoress and Adam’s affinity,
awestruck and appalled, also attentively af-
forded aid. Adam acquisced amiably. After
awhile, ate apples, apricots,ssparagus and-so:
forth, albeit ate abstemiously. ’Afilicted and
ailing,Adam assayed annuliug alliances. Ar'a-'
bells, artless and amiable as an angel, avow-
ing allegiance, answered: “Away all ab-
surd arguments! Absence and afilietions
abate afiection? All apologies ravsunt I”
“A nglic Arabella," answered Adam,“always
admired and adored above all,amid all ardent,
admires accept Adam and Adam's aches and
ails ?" “Aye, aye ! assuredly 7” assented
Arabella. “Amen,” amusinglyauswered
Adam.‘ Accordingly, another autumn,Aunt
Almira aiding, abetting and accelerating-
arrangements. Adam and ‘ Arabella, at
an :altar, :ackuowledged ,allegisnce, and
afterwards, ailments {arrested and appetite
augmented,art again absorbed all Adam’s at-
tention, and although an Eamateur, after
awhile attained an appellation “another
Angelo." Arabella. as an authoress, also ac.
quired applause and approbation. As age ad-
vanced, Aunt Almira, ailing and apprehend-
ing apoplexy. adopted Arabella and Adam
and afiluence accumulating, authorized
Adam’s acting 'as' agent at adjusting af-
fairs, sltogether an-’agreeablc arrangement
all around. -- Arabella, {at [articles and
anecdotes, amused Aunt Almira. Adam also

Not Very Green.
A showman, after assuring a reporter that
nothing pleases the people more than some-
thing full of peril and bloodshed, gives the
following incident of his career; but we
don’t vouch for his truthfulness—that is, not
quite: . '
“I ran a Whole season on 'a lion that had
eaten akeeper. The people came in crowds,
expecting every day to see him make a
breakfast of his trainer. Was he actually
dangerous? Dangerous I He ate another
trainer, and then I lost- him. His widder
was actually in love with her husband and
she swore the animal should be killed, and
the peopli sided with her; and as the beast
was getting old, and the 'killin’ made a pay-
ing sensation, I did it.‘ But I made all there
was out of it. I insisted that the husband
shouldbavc a gorgeous funeral.‘ She said
there was nothiug‘to bury, as the lion had
eaten her husband. ‘Butv ain’t the dear dc-
parted in the lion? If we bury the lion,
don’t we bury the dear departed ?’ ‘Cert,’
she said. And we had it and it was gor-
geous. We had a procession with all our
wagons in it, the-regular street parade, only
all our riders had black scarfs on ’em, and
the wagons and horses and elephants and sich
were draped in black, and the band played
a dead march. The widder was in an open
carriage in full mourning, with a white
handkerchief with a~black border to her eyes ~
lookin’ ,on his minatoor. There wasn’t he
minatoor, but she held a case just the same.
That night the canvas couldn’t hold the pec-
pls. . We run that two weeks to a splendid
biz". When the woman got over her grief
she went into the lion trainin’. herself ez ‘Se—
uorita Aguardente, the Lion Queen.’ I save
her some old lions to practice on and in less
than a month she could do just as well as the
"old man. .She was good Woman too. She
rid in the grand entree, and rid‘in ‘The Halt
.in the Idesert,’ did [the bar’l act, did a good
pad sch/and is now practic in’ bareback. She
juggles tollable, and does a society song and
dance in a side show. When I get talent, I
pay and keep it. My treasurer changes the
names of my people every season, so as to
have fresh attractions. Oh, Iknow my biz.”

Deceitfulness of Appearances.
» Some‘papers are not of much account as
to appearance. but I never took one that did
uotjpay me, in some way, more than I paid
for ' it. One time an‘ old friend started a
little paper away down in southwestern
Georgia, and sent to me, and I subscribed
I just to encourage, him, and after a while it
published a notice that an administrator had
an order to sell several lots atlpubllc outcry,
and one of thelots was in my county. So I
inquired about the lot.an'd Wrote to my friend
to attend the sale, and run it up to fifty dol-
larsi " He did so, and bid the on the lot for
thirty dollars: audJ sold it. in a mouth, to 'a
man it joined for a hundred, and so I made
sixty-eight dollars clear by taking that pa-

They sent him round the circle fair,
To bow before the prettiest there.
I’m bound to say the choice he made
A creditable taste displayed;
Although—I can’t say what it meant—
The little maid looked ill-content.
His task was then anew begun—
To kneel before the wittiest one.
Once more that little maid sought be,
And went him ‘down upon his knee.
She bent her eyes upon the floor—~,
I think she thought the game a hero.
He circled then—his sweet behest
To kiss the one he loved the best.
' For all she frowned, for all she chid,
He kissed that little maid, he did,
And then—though why I can’t decide—
The little maid looked satisfied.

Why dost thou wildly rush and roar,
Mad River, 0 Mad River ?
Wilt thou not pause and cease to pour
Thy hurrying, headlong waters o’er
This rocky shelf forever ?
What secret trouble stirs thy breast?
Why all this fret and flurry?
Dost then not know that what is best
In this too restless world is rest
From over-work and worry ?

What would’st then in these mountains seek,
O stranger from the city I’
Is it perhaps some foolish freak
0f thine, to put the words I speak
Into a plaintive ditty ?
ma mamas.
Yes; I would learn of thee thy song,
With all its flowing numbers,
And in a voice as fresh and strong
As thine is, sing it all day long,
And hear it in my slumbers.
THE RIVER.
A brooklet nameless and unknown
Was I at first, resembling
A little child, that all alone
Comes venturing down the stairs of stone.
Irresolute and trembling.
Later, by wayward fancies led, -
For the wide world-I panted;
Out of the forest dark and dread
Across the open fields I fled,
Like one pursued and haunted.-
I tossed my arms, I sang aloud,
' My voice exultant blending
With thunder from the passing cloud,
The wind, the forest bent and bowed,
The rush of rain descending.
I heard the distant ocean call, _
Imploring and eutreating;
Drawn onward, o’er this rocky wall
I plunged, and the loud waterfall
Made answer to the greeting. I
at us * ill at:
Men call me Mad, and well they may.
When, full of rage and trouble,
I burst my banks of sand and trouble, .
And sweep their wooden bridge away,
Like withered reeds or stubble.
Now go and write thy little rhyme,
As of thine own creating.
Thou seest the day is past its prime;
I can no longer waste my time ;
The mills are tired of waiting.
— Wide Awake for May.
AT LAST.
BY J OIIN G. WHITTIERr
When on my day of life the night is falling,
And, in the winds from unsunned spaces
blown,
I hear far voices out of darkness calling
My feet to paths unknown.
Thou who hast made my home of life so
pleasant,
Leave not its tenant when its walls decay,
0 Love divine, 0 Helper everpreseut,
Be than my strength and stay! r
Be near me when all else is from me drifting,
Earth, sky, home's pictures, days of shade
and shine,
And kindly faces to my own uplifting
The love which answers mine.
I have but thee, 0 Father! Let thy spirit
Be with me then to comfort and uphold;
No gate of pearl, no branch of palm, I merit,
Nor street of. shining gold.
Suffice it if—_I-my good and ill unreckoned,
And both forgiven through thy abounding
grace-
I find myself by hancs familiar beckoned
Unto my fitting place : '
Some humble door among thy many mans
sions. ' ' ’
Some sheltering shade where sin and striv-
ing cease, . V
And fiows forever through heaven’s green
expansions '
The river of thy peace.
There, from the music' round about me steal-
ing. ‘ ‘
I fain would learn the new and holy song,
And find, at last, beneath thy trees of healing,
The life for which I long. .

My Birthday.
A. o. r. RANDOLPH.
‘Not nbw along the distant eastern shore,
The cool, deep shadows sweep athwnrt the
dev; -
Not now the sun mounts upward, as of yore,
Into a heaven of blue.
My sun has crossed the higher meridian line
. Beyond the clouds that thither come and
30; -
While on the Western slopes with day’s, de-
cline,
The shadows deeper grow.
I face the opening portals of the West,
My eyes with radiant visions slowly fill, -
While lie the clouds in level bars at rest,
And all the winds are still.
I turn not hence with longings for the mom
Nor grieve I for the passing of the noon ;
Enough that every change ‘to me hath borne
God’s blessing late or soon.
Nor pray I that the now descending sun
Hasten his going that my day be o’er;
I am contents-content God’s will be done,
Be my time less or more.
Nay,somcthing deeper, better than content,
' Or dumb submission to the will divine ;
Thanks rather for the life I here have spent,
The hopes forever mine ;
The endless gifts. the mercies manifold,
With all that has been and is still to be:
My God, my heart were passionless and cold
Did I not bring to Thee
The measure of its depths and overflow;
Did not a joyful song to Thee ascend,
For all that I have known—am yet to know,
Until the day shall end. » '
Of that full love which all my way enfolds,
Still keeps me close within its sovereign
care, _ ‘~ . .
And grants whate’er I need, and yet witholds
That which I could not bear. .
