Summer Longings. Alt! my heart is weary waiting, Waiting for the May; Waiting lor the pleasant rumbles, Where the lrugrant hawthorn brambles, With the woodbine alternating, Scont the dewy way. Ah ! my bean is weary waiting, Waiting for the May. Ah ! my heart is sick with longing. Longing for the May; Longing to escape lrom study To the young luce, fair and ruddy, And the thousand charms belonging To the summer's day. Ah! lay heart is sick with longing, Longing l'or ^e May.

" Where are you going, George?" ! asked Mrs. Wilson, as her husband j arose from the supper-table and took his hat. j "Oh?I'm going out," was the careless j response. "But where?" j " What odds does it make. Emma. I shall be back at my usual time." The young wife hesitated, and a quick | flush overspread her face. She seemed to have made up her mind to speak plainly upon a subject which had lain uneasily upon her heart for some time, and she could not let the opportunity pass. It required an eft'ort, but she j persevered. " Let me tell you what odds it makes to me," she said, in a kind, but tremulous tone. " If I cannot have your company here at home, I should at least feel much better if I knew where you were." "But you know that I am safe, Emma, and what more can you ask?" " I do not know that you are safe, George. I know nothing about you j when you are away." " l'ooh! Would you have it that I am J not capable of taking care of myself?" " You put a wrong construction on my j words, George. Love is always anxious j when its dearest object is away. If I j did not love you as i do, 1 might not be [ thus uneasy. When you are at, your | place of business I never feel thus, be-1 cause 1 know I can seek and tind you at! nny moment; but when you are absent j during these long evenings, I get to j wondering where yo" are. Then I be- J sin to feel lonesome: and so one thought Follows another, until 1 feel troubled and uneasy. Oh, if you would stay with mo a portion of your evenings!" "Alia?I thought that was what you were aiming at," said George, with a playful shake of the head. " lou would have me here evenings." "Well?can you wonder at it?" returned Emma. I use to be very happy when you came to spend an evening with me before we were marx*ied: and I know I shouid be very happy in your society now." "Ah," said George, with a smile, "those were business meetings. We were arranging then for the future." "And why not continue to do so, my ! husband? I am sure we could be as i happy r.#w as ever. If you will remem-1 ber?one of our plans was to make a j home." " And haven't we got one, Emma?" i " We have a place in which to live," j answered the wife, somewhat evasively. " And it is our home," pursued George. "And," he added, with a sort of confident tlourish, " home 'is the wife's peculiar province. She has charge of it, and her work is there; while the duties of the husband call him to other scenes." " Aye?I admit that, so far as certain j duties are concerned," replied Emma, j " But you must remember that we both ! need relaxations from labor; we need time for social and mental improvement and enjoyment; and what season have we for this save our evenings? Why should not this be my home evenings, as won as in tue anytime ana intneniguir" j "Well?isn't it?" asked George. j '"How can it be if you are not here? j What makes a home for children, il it be j not the abode of the parents? What j ho.lie can a husband have where there is | no wife? And?what real home comforts | can a wife enjoy where there is no husband ? You do not realize how lonesome I am all alone here during these lor^: evening. They are the very seasoifs when I am at leisure to enjoy your comfianionship, and when you would be at eisure to ei\joy mine, if it is worth enjoying. They are the seasons when the happiest hours of home-life might he passed. Come?will you not spend a few of your evenings with me?" " You see enough of me as it is," said the husband, lightly. "Allow me to be the judge of that, | George. You would be very lonesome j I ~ 11 ? 1 11 ix li situ in?. " Not if it was my place of business, .is i I is of yours," returned the young man. ! "You are used to staying here. All wives belong at home." "Just remember, my husband, that, previous to our marriage, I had pleasant1 society all the time. Of course I remained at home much of my time; but I had a father and mother- there?and I had brothers and sisters there; and our evenings were happily spent. Finally 1 .:avo II up for you. I*left the old home, and sought a home with my husband. And now, have 1 not a right to expect some of your companionship? How would you like it to have me away every o Venning, while you were obliged to remain were all alone?" " Why, I should like it well enough." " Ah, hut you would not be willing to i try if." 'Yes; T would," said George, at a venture. " Will you remain here every evening : next week, and let me spend them among my female friends?" "Certainly I will; and I assure you I \ shall not ho so lonesome as you imagine." i WItii tl,^ tin. I..vl...n<! ..Mt ?-oc soon among his friends. He was a steady, industrious man, and loved liis wile dearly; but, like thousands of others, Inhad contracted a habit of spending his evenings abroad, and thoughtof no harm. His only practical idea of home seemed to be, that it was a place which his wife took care of, and where he could eat. drink, and sleep, as long as he could pay for it. In short, lie treated it as a sort of private boardiug-house, of which his wile was landlady; and if lie paid all the bills he considered his duty done. His 1 wife had frequently asked him to stay at home with her, but she had never ven-, turcd upon any argument before, and he had no conception of how much she missed him. She always seemed happy when he came home, and lie supposed she could always be so. Monday evening came, and George ! Wilson remained true to his promise. ; His wife put on her bonnet and shawl, and he said he would remain and "keep ; house." " What will you do while I am gone?" ; Emma asked. . "Oh?I shall read, and sing, and eiyoy myself generally." "Very well. I shall be back in goou season." The wife went out. and the husband Lft aIaxa Uft lior] on lnfArnctinrr i rr,. maginary partner. Then he walke the floor, and whistled a<min. Finall the clock struck nine, and his wife r< I turned. "Well, George?I am back in goo i season. How did you eryoy yourself ? "Capitally," returned the husbanc "I had no idea it was so late. I hop you have had a good time." " Oh?splendid. I had no idea hoi much enjoyment there was away froi home. Home is a dull place, after al Isn't it?" * " Why?no?I can't say that it is," r< turned George. " I rather like it." rr'.wl rtf tllflt " vf'tfivfivl Hmni! " for wo?ishall both enjoy ourselves now You shall have a nice, comfortable wee ' of it." George winced some at this, but li kept his countenance, and determine to stand it out. On the next evening Emma prepare to go away again. " I shall be back in good season," sh ! said. " Where are you going?" her husban jisked. " Oh? I can't tell exactly. I may g to several places." So George Wilson was left alone agaii and he tried to amuse himself as before but lie lound it hard work. Ever an anon he would east his eyes upon tin : empty chair, and the thought woul ! come. 44 IIow pleasant it would be if sli were here." The clock finally struc ; nine, and he began to listen for the ste j of his wife. Half an hour more slinpe [ by, and he became very nervous ana ui i easy. 441 declare," he muttered to himsel after he had listened for some time i vain, 44 this is too bad. She ought nc to stay out so late!" I5ut lie hanneried to remember that li often remained away much later tha that, so ho concluded that he must mak the best of it. At fifteen minutes ot ten Emma cam< 44 A little late, ain't I?" she said, loot ing up at the clock. 44 But I fell in wit some old friends, and we made a time ( it. How have you enjoyed yourself?" " First rate," returned George, bravelj " I think home is a great place." 44 Especially when one can have it a to himself," added the wife, with a side long glance at her husband. But he made no reply. On the next evening Emma prepare to go out as before; but this time sh kissed her husband ere she went, an seemed to hesitate some. 44 Where do you think of going? George asked, in an undertone. 4t I may drop in to see Uncle John, replied Emma. 44 However, you won' be uneasy. You'll know I'm safe." 44 Oh?certainly." When the husband was left to his ow I reflections, he began to ponder seriousl j upon the subject thus presented for cor ! sideration. He could not read?he coul> not play?he could not enjoy himself ii 1 any way, while that ciiaik was emptj In short, he found that home had n real comfort without his wife. The ox thing needed to make this home 'cheer ful was not present. ,4I declare," he said to himself, 44 did not think it would be so lonesomi And can it be that she feels as I do, whei she is here all alone? It must be so,' he pursued, thoughtfully. 44 It is just a she says. Before we were married, sh was very happy in her childhood's home Her parents loved her, and her brother and; sisters loved her, and they did al they could to make her comfortable." After this he walked up and down th room several times, and then stoppei again and communed with himself: 441 can't stand this. I should die in i week. If Emma were onh here, I thin! I could amuse myself very well. Ho\ lonesome and dreary it is. And onl; eight o'clock. I declare?I've a mind t walk down by Uncle John's, and sec i she is there. It would be a relief to se her face. I won't co in. She slian' know yet that I hokf out so faintly." George Wilson took another tun across the room, glanced once more a the clock, and then took his hat am went out. He locked the door after him and then bent his steps toward Unci John's. It was a beautilul moonligh night, and the air was keen and bracing He was walking along, with his eye bent upon the sidewalk, when he hear a light step approaching him. He lookei up, and?he could not be mistaken?sa'v his wife. His first impulse was to avoii her, but she had recognized him. 44,G6orge," she said, in surprise, " i this you?" "It is," was the response. " And you do not pass your evening at home? "This is the first time I have been out Emma, upon my word, and even now have not been absent from the house tei minutes. I merely came out to take til fresh air. But where are you going? " I'm going home, George. \\ ill yoi go with me?" "Certainly," returned the husband She took his arm, and they walked hom in silence. When Ennua had taken oft'her things she sat down in her rocking-chair, an< gazed up at the clock. - iou came nome early to-nignt," re marked George. The young wife looked up into lie husband's face, and, with an expressici half smiling and half tearful, she an swered: "I will confess the truth, George; have given up the experiment. I man aged to stand it last evening; but I eouli not bear it through to-night. When thought of you here :ill alone, I wante< to be with you. It didn't seem right I haven't enjoyed myself at all. I hav no home but this." " Say you so," cried George, movin his seat to his wife's side, and takin one of her hands. "Then let me mak my confession. I have stood it not whit better. When I left the house thi evening, 1 could bear it no longer, found that this w:is no home for m while mv sweet wife was absent, thought I would walk down by Unci | John's, and see your face, if possible, had gazed upon your empty chair ti my heart ached." He kissed her as he spoke, and the added, while she reclined her head ur on his arm: " I have learned a very good lessor Your presence here is like the burstin forth of the sun after a storm: and i vou love me sis I love vnu?which, r | course, I cannot doubt?ray present i may ufford some sunlight for you. -A all events, our next experiment slia b I to that effect. I will try and see ho) | much home comfort we can tind wliil I we are both here to enjoy it." Emma was too happy to express h( I joy in words; but she expressed it ne^ ! ertheless; and in a manner, too, not t I be mistaken. The next evening was spent at horn I by both husband and wife, and it was 1 season of much enjoyment. In a shoi ! time George began to realize how rcuc [ comfort was to be found in a quiet an peaceful home; and the longer he er ioye.1 this comfort the more plainly di he see and understand the simple irut tliof it ful'Ou fwn ta m?iL'O ii 1??ir*r*\r Iiatth WJIS jriL niuiic. nv inn. ..u .u?v.w?.iA book, and he began to read it.

A Sketch of Zululondand Its Inhabitant j The South African territories compris : an area of some 450,000 square miles, ( m as much as the united territory of Ge: I many, France, Belgium and Hollandg four times the area of the five Midd States. The total population is not muc v more than 2,000,000, of which about 440 000 persons are white. Let us dance: j this great country, turning for the betti understanding of recent events to recei sources of information. Beginning at the Atlantic Ocean on tl t west and going eastward, we shall noi ' the principal countries of South Afrit k' as follows: j First, the largest, the Cape Colon; founded by the Dutch, and seized in 18( lj : by the English. Until 1807 its growl I was slow. In that year the famous dii , monil fields were discovered just beyor ! its boundariesto thenorth, in the distri' j called Grigna Land West (the old " j\( I j Man's-Land " of our school geo^raphii , : ?it is now becoming every-man s-land and the colony, in consequence, is grov ing rapidly. In 1870 three-fourths of tl 0 i total yield, or 773 pounds weight of di; j monds. were sent across the country 1 Cape Town, a distance of 700 miles, wit! | out guards, in the mail wagons, and r ; robbery occun*ed, though there were lj ' few small thefts. From this wemavcoi " i elude that the 235,000 whites and 82(1 ? 000 blacks who constitute the presei k population of the Cape Colony are ; P least as honest folk as a like number < " people living, say, upon the mail rout l*' in the Western territories. Ostrich farn . ] ing is fast becoming an important im.u ' try. In 1875 the price of a pair i n ; ostriches reached $2,500, and the featbe: )t i Were sold for from $150 to $200 a pour i in Cape Town. 0 Next in geographical order come tl n | aboriginal communities?Kaffiraria an :e . Basuto Land. These countries fit inl notches upon the eastern boundaries i - j Cape Colony. Here, upon an area < 1 about 16,000 square miles, live varioi h j native tribes, a population of 600,000 i >f all. and all under British protection. | Natal lies between these tribes and tl * i dreaded Zululand still farther to tl I northeast. This country, before 182 II j was thickly populated by the black raw 1 in that year it was desolated by the wa I riors of the Chieftain Chaka. an uncle < j the redoubtable Cetewayo (it is to I d | pronounced Ke-te-way-o). Clifka di e J stroyed warriors, women and childrc d ; together; he "made a solitude and calk j it peace." The Dutch afterward occi " j pied Natal, and in 1834 the British seize 1 and occupied the country. It has no1 " j 19,000 white and 300,000 black inliabi 't: ants. Zululand is next in order. The area < ; this country is estimated at 10,000 squai n I miles; its population at 150,000. It y j probably greater, for Cetewayo's army i-' set down at 60.000 well-armed mei d ; Marvelous stories are already current < n ; the physical prowess and the drill ( . | these troops?such as the statement froi o !

When hopelessl cornered, and convicted of having bee in and out half a dbzen times before, an of numerous perjuries besides, they slin I off up-town to some one of the lettere II stations to repeat the old trick. 44 An old applewoman hobbled int , Cashier Harvey Mayor's office, at 6 A. M., with $40 in small and extremel " dirty bills in her hand. She wanted fou I certificates?three for herself and one ft 4 her daughter. 1 44 The dirtiest money is brought b ' small grocery keepers and Chinese laur e drymen. Old, crumpled and mildevve greenbacks, which have been kept i = stockings for years, are not uncommor p Neither is gold. One queer looking cus e tomer marched up to Cashier lxmns :i berry's window with a small, suspicious | looking parcel tied with string an I wrapped in tissue paper. Inside wei ? smaller pieces of tissue paper, each tie I with thread, and bound together wit intricate knots. There were forty ( I these minute packages, and as eaclfwsi '1 ripped and cut open, a gold quarte eagle was discovered. The man too II ten certificates. ?- 44 The scene from the rear of the Ion wooden screen in the money order d< ' partment is a novel one. The cashier an & iiis assistant sit in a great cage of iror L* work.^built up against the woodwork i >! front. On the counter immediately hi :e low the cashier's window is a pile ( t the new certificates laid crosswise i e small batches often or twenty each. T V his left is a large tin box, with a doze le or more compartments for bills, and ( various denominations. The corner r devoted to gold, of which there ai several shining heaps. A metallic coil o holder tor silver currency is at his elbov In a cunningly contrived framework ai ie ranged dollars, halves, quarters, dime a live-cent pieces, nickels and pennies, i "t regular order. A slight pressure upo h a lover at the bottom of each compar d nxent drops the required coin into tl l- cashier's palm. On his right are bundh (1 of bond notes of small denomination h tied together in packages of ?100 an $200. The motley crowd of purchase! e appear at the windows one by one, pi down their hard-earned money, in greei backs, gold or silver (trade dollars e: eepted), receive|their certificates, and j. on their way. 44 Now that the certificates have bee sent to the stations up-town, merchan J and employers have begun to give the j. clerks an opportunity for purchasing i blocks. Superintendent Ten Eyek < '* Station I) took 8 12,000 worth of the ee P tifieates to Brokaw Brothers, clothier ^ for sale among their employees in lots i e $100 each. Iliggins, thecarpetmanufa . turer, applied for a still larger amoun to be taken -imong his 1,500 employees, j 44 At the sub-treasury, as at the posto 11 lice, the cashiers are overrun with d 0 mands from speeu lators, which they hai 'j. to refuse. By employing half a doze , different clerks each time, the latter ai ' still managing to absorb a large amoui ? of the certificates. It is said that an ei terprising firm, on hearing that the ce tificates were for sale at all the station sent out fourteen different men, each or of whom, in turn, succeeded in gettir 8100 worth at every one of the fourtee e stations, including the sub-treasury an y postoflice. None of the men were con n pelled to go to the .same station twice tl r same day, and yet the net amount < n their purchases have aggregated near] d ?20,000 per day. As the premium on th t hnnrls U ahniit nnr< and a half* Der cent r their profit, after deducting the intere! s already paid, will he over $200 per day much more than the postmaster and h: r assistants get on all the sales put t( a gether. " As the lowest denomination of tb l regular loan is *50, purchasers mus ; have at least live of these certificates b( e fore they can convert them into bonds c s draw interest on them. They have thej s choice, however, of leaving the interes to accrue, as they can for half a doze years if they wish to, or of having thei - certificates cashed at full value by th government.

At her sister's house in Kent a donkey which, when not employed by the children, grazed in a field with some cows, was in the regular habit of acting as follows: At the usual hour for the cows to come home to be milked the donkey lifted the latch of the field gate opened and held back the gate (which would otherwise have swung clos*, again) till ill the cows passed out, then allowed the gate to shut, and went home, with the cows.

A London correspondent of the Chii cago Times writes: Curiously enough the female school teachers of the United States have been a subject of discussion in the House of Commons. Mr. Mundella had referred favorably to them, when Mr. Mills indulged in a sneer and doubted that the custom was one that could be profitably followed in this country. Then up rose Mr. Plunkett, a gallant Irishman, who said he had been to the United States and there studied the | subject, and expressed his opinion that j "it would be a great benefit to this j country if we could import 200 or 300 ! of those American women teachers.' i Mr. Maclaren also quoted the Bishop o I Manchester, who has declared also from ' personal experience that their teaching \ is generally " much better than given ' in the schools of this country."
