Add not to their tears.
Avoid with reproachcs
Fresh pain to bestow,
The heart which is stricken
Needs never a blow.

In the year 1756 a company of French mi
ners induced a number of gentlemen in Wil-
, ton to organize a mining cfimxiany and open
what is known "as the Silver Mine in the
northern part of Pimpewaug School District;
work was begun and carried on for some
time the miners, however, found great difll—
culty in pursuing their work, as they had
not sufiicient grade to drain the slope or
shaft, but were obliged to hoist with a
windlass ; a number barrels of very fine ore
had been collected and made ready for to
send, away to be assayed and was put On
board of apackct at Norwalk (but as the
suspicion then ran) the minersvdiverted it
from its intended destination, and so the
company lost all and being discouraged gave
up. A fewycars since Mr. E. 0. Hurlbutt
in company with some others re-opeued the
, mine, and found veins of very rich ore and
in considerable quantities; and the public
were lookin g for liorough andpersisten't op-

' OLD HUNDRED.
Connecticut Farms, N. J.
In-this quiet out-of-the-way country settle:
ment, never yet disturbed‘by railroad, tele-
graph or telephone; six miles from the City
of Newark, and three and a half from Eliza-
beth; in full view of the beautiful range of
m tains which extend through the Oranges,
it as been our privilege to spend a few days.
The place is full of historic interest. It was
here where the Rev. John Caldwell preached
when he fell a victim to Knyphausen‘s cruel-
ty, 'during the Revolutionary war, as he was
landing from t1. boat at Elizabeth Port.
The parsonage then standing on the site of
the present one, was entered, Mrs. Caldwell
fleeing to the garden with her babe in her'
arms, was shot dead. The church and most
of the dwellings were burnt. After they
were rebuilt, the name of the place was
changed from Wade to its present name, in.
honor of the Connecticut people who had
settled there. -
The stone and brick edifice soon after
erected is still standing, the inside having
been thoroughly remodled within forty years.
The present pastor was a class-mate in the
Seminary, of your townsman, Rev. S. B. S.
Bisscli, and has occupied this pulpit, forty-
seven years. One of the earlier pastors, Rev.
Mr. Smith, was the father of Mrs. Chandler
Starr, who was for several years a resident
in Norwalk, his remains, and those of his
wife lie in the church-yard, under a whit’e
marble tablet. The first Sabbath in June the
Sunday School connected with this venerable
church, celebrated its Seventy-81mm anniver-
sary. A very interesting report was read by
the Superintendent; an address by Dr. Gil-
lespie,of Elizabeth. The pulpit was covered
with potted and cut flower of the choicest
kinds. While the gathering was one of in-
terest to many, there was a gloom of sadness
*cast over the whole, for within a few weeks
the Secretary, the youngest son of the pastor,
one known and beloved by all, and who had
made his home among them, had fallen a vic-
tim to consumption, in the twenty-sixth year
of his age. .
After the services, cordial were the greet-
ings from friends, old scholars and teachers,
who had come in from their homes, to this
annual reunion. This was the Church and
Sabbath School of our childhood, and our
mothers’ love and consecration.
The only public communication with the
outside world is by a daily mail carriage,
driven by a lady to Elizabeth, early in the
morning and returning before noon. ’ She will
accommodate passengers for the modest sum
of twenty-five cents. The people are mostly
farmers. A few years since arailroad was
surveyed directly through, leading to'Newv
ark, a speculating company in New York
bought up several fine farms on the line, pay-
ing fabulous prices, proposing to lay out
building lots for a future village, but the
railroad was never built, the " company ”
failed, and the farms are still there! Some
of them unoccupied or rented to foreigners.
The'prospect for fruit this season is good,
fine apple orchards, white 'with blossoms,
pears and cherries promise well also. The
season, however, is very backward and cold.
It is Said that when General Washington
passed'through here, he was so delighted
with the country around, that he pronounced
it the “Garden of America!” , ' g '
Decoration Day was duly observed by
joining in the servicesat Elizabeth, there be-
ing very few of the honored dead in the cem-
etery here. ‘ E. N.

The Phantom City.
A reporter of the New York Tribune, in an
interview with Mr. Rice, editor of the North
American Review, has obtained some addi-
tional particulars relating to the discovery by
Mr. Charuay, of “Phantom City,'l in Guate-
mala. Having'beenpsked iriwhat sense the
term “Phantom City” is to be understood,Mr.
Rice replied that the most satisfactory answer
to thequestion would be an account of the
way in which this city was first brought into
notice. ‘ . _
“Upward of forty years ago,” said be,
“when the distinguished American traveler,
~ John L. Stephens, visited the village of’San-.
ta Cruz de Quiche, Guatemala, he learned of
the existence of a great inhabited city in
the Sierra dc Guerra (land of war), the
region in the-northwestern part of Guate-
mala occupied by the Candones or Lacau-
doucs, a trible-of people said to this day to
perpetuate the traditions and the mode of life
of their Maya forefathers”; Though _nomi-
nally. subject to the laws of the republic of
Guatemala, the Lacandones are in fact abso- ,
lately independent, and jealously refuse
white men entry into their settlements.
Stephens thought that a force of five hundred
men would be necessary in order to over-
come the resistance of the natives to the in-
trusion of an exploring party. Whether Mr.
Charnay, the chief of the expedition, had to
employ so strong a force as this I can not,
of course, say, but if such force was required
he no ,doubt _had it at command, orders
having been given by the'government to the
'commapdants of. the several garrisons to
furnish him a sufiicient escort. But to re-
turn to the ‘Phantom City,’ Mr. Stephens
was assured by the cure. or fparish priest, of
Quiche, that he himself, while still a young
man and living in the village of Chajul, had
climbed the summit of a bare and lofty peak
of the neighboring Sierra, and had then, at
a- height of 10,000 or 12,000 feet, looked:
over an immense plain extending to Yucatan
and the Gulf of Mexico, in the midst of
which, at a great’distance, he saw a lerge clty
sprt‘a‘ad over a considerable space, with tur-Q
rets white and glistening in the and... This
,place was, according to the cure. ‘a living
city; large and populous? From other '
sources Stephens leagnecltbat from the Sierra
a large ruined city was visible; while others
who had climbed to the same elevation, had
seen nothing, owing ‘to {a dense cloud rest-
ing on it. Later writers pretty generally _
relegate this cityto the class of phantoms
and mirages or of fables.‘ Yet in itself the
eure’s story is in nowise improbable, for there
are throughout that entire region in.Guate-_
mala, Yucatan, Chiapas, Tabasco, etc., tobe'
seen, in ruins, it is true, hundreds of places, .
cities, which, while they flourished, must j
have presented 3 just :such an appearance
as that described by the old cure. And it is ;
worthy of note that Stephens—an embodi-
ment of common sense, an explorer who ‘
had never a pet theory to support—saw no
reason to doubt the truth of the padre’s
story. And now Mr. Charnay has found
this city, though 'of course. we can not as
yet affirm that he found it ‘living and Ipopu-
lous.’-” . , , ‘
“What special significance attaches to this
discovery ?" -
“The best reply‘ to‘your query can be made.
in almost the identical words ;of Stephens.
If that city is still inhabited, then a place is .
left where Indians and an Indian city exist.
as Cortcz and Alvarado found them, there are
still living men who can solve the mystery
that hangs over the ruined cities of America;
perhaps who can go to Copan and read the
inscriptions on thesmonuments. You know}
what absurdities have been published about:
the age of these monuments, these cities. :
Brasseur de Bourbourg is satisfied that some:
of them are at‘least 17,000 years old. Mr.
Charnay ._has stubbornly {maintained that
the oldest of them date froma period not an-j
terior to the eleventh century, and that:
many of them are of still later origin, and
that nearly all of them were flourishing at the .
time of the Spanish invasion. It concerns:
every student of American history to have}
this vexed question settled beyond dispute,
and Mr. Charnay’s discovery promises to sup-
ply the ‘missing link’ which connects the‘
founders of these Central American cities.
with the present indigenous population of the :
same region."

Three years ago a St. Louis reporter meta.
years of age at the National Stock Yards.
The lad had a band trunk tied-with a piece
load of Texan ponies which he hoped to sell
at a profit, but at that time the market there
was not good enough to warrant him in
selling, so the young speculator went on to
Buffalo, New York. At that int he un-
shipped anditook the ponies out'into the state
and sold to great advantage. - From that
start he flourished, and yesterday the youth
now grown, and soon to attain his majority,
was at the National Yards with a herd of J50
head of horses. His name is J. J. McCar-
ferty. He has with him two Mexican
helpers, who handle the horses and exhibit
them for sale. These Mexicans yesterday,
at the bidding or young McCalIerty, turned
a horse loose in the yards and caught him
with the lariat. At the first throw the
horse was rushing past the Mexican. The
noose was throwri with most singular acct;-
racy over the animal’s head, andtfic r'éfievsfis
then wound about a post, but thuborse hall
the experience before and out no useless ca-
pers. -
y The animal was again turned loose and as
castlhe lariat‘ové'r his front legs and he was
brought to a halt ; he'coul‘d only try :to leap,
and was wholly in the power of the Mexican,
who could throw him at any moment by pull-
ing‘thc rope whenever the fore feet were of
the ground. ‘
A colt was caught by the two Mexicans at
once ; this was an exhibition catch, one
throwing his lariat through the noose of the
other lariat and both settling .over the hes
of colt. 2
Mr. McCafierty attended a business college
in I’oughkcepaie, N. Y., last winter, and is
now well prepared, to manage his growing
wealth in a business-like manner. Heisays
he never gave or asked credit of anyman.
His herds of horses on the range near San
Antonio, Tex., are‘kept in bunches Of about
fifty, each stallion herding about that many
bunches. The stallion willproteh thebyoung
colts. If they are attacked by wolves the
mares will form a circle around the little
ones and the stallion will fight. Mr. McCal-
fcrty is on his way east, and shows vast im-
provement in dress, manner and language,
since he first went into business, an inex-
pcrienced, unlearned lad, with, nerve as his

Hunting Wild Turkeys.
New York Sun.
There are few localities in the eastern
States where the wild turkey continues to
make its haunts, although it was once com-
mon game from the Schuylkill to theAllc‘gh-
cuey river and bthe tier of northern Penu-
sylvania counties. The wild and desolate
ridges of the-Blue mountains, which hemin
thezsoutheru portion of Schuylkillpounty‘
still afford such feeding and breeding places
as wild turkeys covet, and the birds are
found therein large numbers. The region
is sparsely populated, the inhabitants, being
rude and rugged woodman, and their fami-
lies, many of them descendants of the old
Pennsylvania Dutch stock, are all honest and
hospitable. Among them are“ scores of men
who have become famous as wild turkey
hunters, and who make their homes and cab-
ins in the mountain wilds. The fall and early
winter months are the favorite turkey hunt-
ing seasons, and it is one of the rare pas-
times of the region to visit in parties the
cabins of the hunters and have a “turkey-
eat.’/’ None of the mountain sportsmen can
ever be found without a fat and well-frozen
wild turkey hanging in his cellar, as they
call the cave excavated from the side hill or
the rude stone inclosure near the cabins. The
best of,cider, a liberal supply of “paan boss"
and head cheese, and sweet rye' bread and
butter always keep company with the turkey
in the cellar. Penn-boss is strictly a Penn-
sylvania Dutch delicacy, and is ,made of
buckwheat:. flour thickened with the rich
juices that are the result of _ boiling the in-
gredients for head-cheese. The'compound is
pressed until cold, when it is ready for cat-
ing, cut in thin slices. The cabins are built.
of logs, the chinks of which are filled with
coarse mortar made from the soil, uud'whlcb.
becomes very hard when dry. A huge stone
chimney occupies one end of the cabin on
the outside. Banks of earth and hemlock‘
or pine branches are heaped around the
outside,‘aud sometimes ranks of cord wood
are piled up almost to the eaves, the better
to keep out the cold. There is only one
room, and a'descriptiou of one of these
backwoods interiors answers for all. Here
and there-aniline finer bear and ‘ deer skins
may be seen with two or three dogs dozing
on them in the light and warmth of the pine
knot fire which illuminates the whole room-
The walls are dry and smoky, and guns and
traps of the sportsmen occupy pegs and
uhelves. On the arrival of visitors to enjoy
a “turkey eat,’ the host at once places a
turkey—which is always in readiness—on
a spit over a fire of hickory logs in the fire
guests enjoy the cider thatfisppears before
they are yet comfortably settled in the
room._ The turkey ready for the table,
the hunter places it crisp and savory on u
' large platter, and the guests curve for tbem- ’
selves such bits as they prefer. ' It is eaten ‘
from tin plates, or sometimes from large
birch chips.
The mode of hunting wild turkeys adopted
by those Blue mountain hunters is to "corn"
a suitable part of the woods frequented by
the birds—generally in; old clearings. Corn-
ing is simply the scattering of corn on the
ground and making choice feeding places,
that the turkeys, which fly in flocks, are not
long in discovering. ‘When a hunter dis-
covers the presence of a flock in the_“field”
be cor-us it, and generally feels certain that
in time he will have every one 9f the turkeys
bagged. When the clearing is scattered with
com the hunter takes a position in it from
which he has a view of the feeding-place,
The turkeys drop into the clearing with a
great flutter and much gobbling by the males
The hunter picks out the bird he wishes to
secure on the ground, and anotherat which
he will about when they rise. He shoots the
one on the ground and the other in the air.
'Largc shot 'is used, and heavy. charges of
powder, as the feathers of the game ,are very
close, and the skin tough. A skillful hunter
rarely fails to bring down his two birds, but
a novice usually sees both take wing without
any apparent damage [from his change. It
is almost useless to try to get a shot at afiock
of turkeys by flushing them, as their hearing
and sight are.- extremely acute, and a flock
always getsiup and removes itself from harms
' way long before the hunter is within gun-
slnt. But while so wily in that respect they
I lack all semblance of shrewdneas in visiting
the“corned" places. No matter how large
a flock is, it 'will continue being reduced in
numbers by regularly visiting the place in
before, and in the evening after having been
shot into in the morning. This is kept up
until only one bird comes to feed were "all of
his companions were killed. Sometimes,when
a pair of turkeys remain, the two will join
‘ another flock and accompany it to the feed-
ing-place it has selected. There are many
pot-hunters among the Blue mountain people
who trap, share and net the turkeys and the
legitimate sportsmen destroy scores of their
traps and nets every season. Hawks and
foxes destroy many turkeys. The hawks are
of immense sizes, some that have been killed
measuring six feet from tip to tip. Wild
turkeys weigh from 8 to 20 pounds, and large
numbers are sent from the Blue mountain
region to the New York and Philadelphia
markets. Sportsmen from the cities visit
the region every season and spend weeks at
the cabins of the local hunters, who serve as
guides to the hunting grounds. The shoot-
ing has not been as good- this season as for-
merly, and in a few years more the wild tur-
key will, do doubt, be extinct in Pennsyl...
vania. . ' '

Some friends of mine recently received

They were brought over from New York by

have her packages and, trunk. examined:
these'two soapstones were found fastened

.say to one another aside: “Ah, poor woman,

The First American Railroad.
The controversy in regard to the first
steam railroad train operated in this country
is as yet unsettled, but the prepoudgfauce of
the evidence would seem to show that it was
the train run over the Albany and Secheuec-
lady road in 1831. The charter for this road
was granted in 1826 to the Mohawk and
Hudson River Railroad company, and work
upon it was begun in 1830. It was com-
pleted in 1831, and in September of that
year the first passenger train, which is also
claimed to be the first steam passenger train
ever run in this country, was sent over the
rails from Albany to Schenectady and back.
Among the passengers ou_this memorable
excursion was the venerable Thurlow Weed,
and his memory of the event is still very
vivid. In speaking of it to a Times reporter
“It is still :a
more or less disputed point whether. the Al-
bany and Schenectady road, or a short road
near Charleston, S. C., was the first railroad
operated in this country, but Lam inclined
to think that the claim of the South, Caroli-
na road. has been pretty well disposed of,
and that history will decide that the Albany
and Schenectady line was the first one com-
pleted and operated. There is no doubt that
both roads were constructed almost simulta-
neously, but-I have a very strong impression
that the first train was run over the New
York line. The road was narrow gusge, and'
followed the same route as it does now that.
it has been consolidated and forms the cash;
ern terminus of the New York Central, but;
in 1831 the country through which it passes '
was very lightly settled. ‘ It ran through a
pine forest, and I suppose there were not
half a dozen houses between Albauyaud
Schenectady, a distance of sixteen miles.
There was a hilLat both the Albany and-
‘Scheucct'ady ends of the line, and the cars
were drawn up and let down these bills by a
strong rope, which was worked by'u station-
ary engine, so that the locomotive didmot
enter either of the cities. The loéomotlve
was a queer looking arrangement, and would
create a sensation in these days. It was
imported. from England, weighedifour tons,
and was named John Bull. The cars of the
first train were also pecular looking vehi-
cles according to,oui- modern notions of rail-
way coaches, but in 1831 they were looked
upon as marvels. They were main num-
bor, and consisted of the bodies of the old
stage icoaches, taken from the lumbering
wheels and transferred to railroad trucks.—

She Loved Wisely and Well.
When Mr. Farney took charge of the high
school at Bueua Vista, 0, a bright and lovely
pupil, Miss Woolftan, was one of those com-
mitted'to his care.» They fell immediately
and simultaneously in love,uud were engaged
(withoutjdelay. The parental Woolftans ob-
jected to this arrangement when Mr. Farney
informed them of it and asked their blessings
and prevailed upon the dutiful girl to break
'the engagement. Then-Mr. ,Farney resigned
his place in the high school and before he
left town, called, witfitbe Woolftanlsu con-
sent, for the last interview with the beauti-
ful brunette. At his request she sung' the
sadful song of Burns. “Had we never loved
has kindly, Had we never loved sac blindly,"
they wouldn’t have colne to grief. Then
Mr. Farney went away in the darkness and
tears and three days afterwards his body
was found in the Ohio river six miles above
Cincinnati, and buried. The girl was incono
soluble, and dead to the pleasures of the
world. Suitors innumerable offered to re-
place the dead .lover, but all was rejected
until last June, she wasmarried to a gentle-
man who consented to take her with the
perfect understanding that she did not, could
not, would not and should not love him.
In December her husband was killed by a
railroad accident on the Cincinnati Southern
near Lexington. The widow withdrew eu-
tirely from society.but in March a gentleman
presented himself for acceptance and in a
twinkling was accepted. It was Mr. Faruey
who was not dead and never had been, the
man drowned above Cincinnati being an-
other party altogether, whose identity will
never be known; and when the J uue roses
break into blossom agal nthe wedding halls of

One day in 1864 Senator Zach Chandler was
a passenger on the train from Owe-so to;
Lansing, and, strangely, enough, no one in
the‘car had any idea of his identity. .Two
men had the seat behind him, and from talk-
ing or war they idrifted to'p‘onties, 'au'd nit—st
urally enough Chandler's name became
union up. Botblueujwere red, hot against
him, and directly one of them observed “it’s
a wonder to me that some one doeh’t shoot
the old bloodlelter!” “Ob. he’ll get his
dose yet, and don't you forget it!" replied-
tbe other. The. Senator .rturned. slowly
around,took a good. logk at both, and then
said “Gentlemen, please speak 1’. little
lower—I am Senator'Cbandlel-lnyself 1” He
thought he he! them-frozen solid, but-he
was mistaken. He bull scarcely turned his
head when one-of them 'lesnedlforwsrd' and
replied, ”That's allrigbt,~psrd. if you can-
beat the conductor with it ; but don’t try to
stuff us! We; met the. old chap. back in

She Wanted a Bath.
A yobug and sprightly school teacher went
into a Hackeussck drug store and, 'tan ed-
dreued thuclerk: "I would like a sponge
bath.” "Ah, oh, a—will you please repeat ?
I did not quite understand you,” stamuiored
the clerk. “I would like a sponge bath},
again demanded the customer, while a pair
of sharp gray eyes, beaming with; wonder
and impatience, made him tremble. More
dead than alive he managed to tell his fair
visitor his inability to catch her meaning.
“Well, Inever! If this ain’t queer: I think
I speak intelligently enough. I—wunt—you
—to—-givo——me-a-— good—espougo—batb."
At this moment the proprietor whispered.
“she wants a bath sponge." At the same
moment she comprehended the trouble and
fled from the store before she couldbe recog-
nized by any one, but too late! A gentleman
raised his but to normalised in, and all was
discovered. ' '

The difierence in girls—Au old mau'got
into a street car with his umbi-éllu as wet as
it is possible for an umbrella to be. The lists
were all full, and he closed his umbrella and
put the point down on the floor, a he sup-;
posed, but in fact he put it'right into tbelovv
shoe of one of these sweet, ‘moda'fijigirls‘,
right on her stocking, and' its dirty“ water
more than pouredrdown the shoe. ' At first
she looked as though Ihq would move her
foot, and call his attention to whathe was
doing, but she seemed to releut, and, with a
resigned expression. hathotxgb‘ she hepo'd he
was not going to ride many block's, or per;
haps somebody wwld get-out and give him .
a seat, she looked out of the window. Once
she moved her head as though she would
look down other shoe to see how near full
of water it was. After few minutes she
began to shiver, I which gm: conclusive
evidence to some that the water was coming
up around her instep,sudlgraduslly overfléw-
ing the banks. Finally she became‘cefyous,
and when a girl begins to get nervous
something has got to be done. She blushed
and touched him on the baud that held the
umbrella handle with her little fluttering
finger and said, “May Ink you, sir, without
seeming to be impolite, to do me a favor ?-”
“Why, certainly, miss,” laid the old man, as
he looked down at her “What is it i"
“Will you please take your‘umbrella' out of
my shoe for: moment, and Islam take the
shoe of! and empty it ?” “For heaveu’uuke,
miss, was my umbrella in your shoe 1’” I beg
pardon," and he took it out. “It's of no
consequence at all," said the little lady, up
she turned up her shoe on the side and let the
black cambric ater out. “There you‘cau
put it right back, or if you would prefer a
dry shoe for your umbrella you can put it in
this other one." But the old man blushed
and moved off to the other end of the car,
and stepped on another girl's foot. The other
girl was not that kind of is retiring child of
nature, and she looked upafitbe old blunder.
buss with fire in her eye and every red hair
on her head meaning business, had said :
“Can’t you keep off of peeple’s feet ? You

stones for pavement.” The old :r‘nau pulled
the bell-rope, and puttiugbis umbrella under
his arm he walked the whole length of the
car, knocking off several hats with his um-
brella, but he didn’t mush any feet, for all
the passengers put their handicrafts boat.
It beats all whgt‘ a difierenee' there is in

M's“—
SweeLMinded Woman.
; So great is the influence of a sweet-minded
woman on those around her that it is almost
boundless. .It is to her that friends come in
seasons of sorrow and sickness for help and
comfort; one soothing touch of her kindly
hand works wonders in the feverish child;
a few words let fall from her lips in the ear
of a sorrowing sister do much to raise the
load of grief that is bowing its victim down
to the dust in anguish. The husband comes
home worn out with the pressure of business
and feeling irritable with the world in
general; but when he enters the cosy sitting
room, and sees the blaze of the bright fire,
and meets his wife's smiling face, he Sill-
cumbl in a moment to the soothing influen-
ces which act as the balm of Gilead to his
wounded spirits, :tbat are wesried in [com-
batiug with the stern realities of life. The
rough school-boy files in a rage from the
taunts of his companions to find solace in
his mother’s smile; the little one,full of grief
with its own large trouble, finds a haven of
rest on its mother's breast; who one might»
go on with instance after; instance of the in-
fiu no that a sweet-minded woman has in the
-Iocal life with which she is connected.
Beauty is an insignificant power when com-
pared with hers.

The Potter’s Song. ;
From "Kersmos," by Longfellow.
Turn, turn, my wheel! Turn round lid
round, -
Without a pause,-without a sound :
So spins the flying world away!
This clay, well mixed with marl and and,
Follows the motion of my hand:
, For some must'follow, and some comma,
Though all are made of clay.
. Turn, turn, my wheel! All ,thlugs must
change
To something new, to something strange;
Nothing that is can pause or stay;
, The moon will wax, the moon will wane.
And mist and cloud will turn to ruin.
, And rain to mist and cloud again.
: To-morrow be to-dsy.
Turn, turn, my wheel! All life is brief:
What now is bud will soon be leaf.
What now is leafwill soon decay;
The winds blows east, the winds blows west ;
The blue eggs in the robbin'l but
Will soon have wings and beak and breast,
And flutter'uud fly away.
Turn, turn, my wheel I, The earthen jar
A touch can make, a touch can mar;
Aud shall it to the Potter say, ’
What makest Thou 1’ Thou hast no hand?
As men who think to understand
A world by their Creator planned,
Who wiser is than they.
Turn. turn, my wheel! ”I'is nature's plan
The child should grow into its mu,
The man grow wrinkled, old, and gray.
In youth the heart exults and sings,
The pulses leap,'the feet have wings;
In age the cricket chirps, and brings
The burvesbhome of day.
Turn, turn, my wheel! The human nee—
Of every tongue, of every place,
Caucasian, Coptic, or Malay, -
All that inhabit this great earth.
Whatever be their rank or worth—
Are kindered and; allied by birth,
And made of the same clay.
Turn, turn, my wheel! What is begun.
At daybreak must at dark be done,
'I'o-morrow will be another day;
Tomorrow the hot furnace fislle
Will search the heart smith-y the frame.”
And limp With honor or with lime
These veuoll made of clay.
Stop, stop, my wheel! 'l‘oo soon, loom
The noon will be the afternoon.
Too soon to-dsy be yestudcy;

The Beautiful.
Beautiful faces are those that wear,—
It matters little if dark or fair,
Whole souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes whore hearth fires glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below. ‘
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Loapfrom theheurt like the long. of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful bands urethane that do
Work that in earnest and brave and true,
Moment by moment. the long day through.
Beautiful foot urethane that go
On kindly ministry to and fro.
Down lowliut ways if God wills it so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of homely one
With patience, grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless—
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains but few may guess
Beautiful pwiligbt at set of sun,
Beautiful goal with race well run,
Beautiful rest with work well done.
Beautiful grave where pulses creep.
Where brown-leaves fall, where drifts lie
‘ deep ..
Over worn-out bands—ob, beautiful sleep!
