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.
Ah ' my hoars is .sore with sighing,
Sighing lor the May;
Sighing lor the sure returning.
When the summer beAms are burning.
Hopes and ilowers that, dead or dying,
All the winter lay.
Ah ! my heart i.s sore with sighing,
Sighing for the May.
Ah ! my heart is pained with throbbing,
Throbbing l'or the May;
Throbbing for the seaside billows,
Or the water-wooing willows,
Where, in laughter or in sobbing,
Glide the streams away.
\!i ! my heart is pained with throbbing. |
Thrvil'bing lor the May.
Waiting,"sad, dejected, weary,
Waiting lor the May;
Spring goes by with .vusted warnings,
Summer comes, yet dark and dreary,
Life still ebbs awav.
Man is ever weary, weary,
Waiting for the May !

HOME COMFORTS.
" 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 |

They are the seasons when the
happiest hours of home-life might he

few of your evenings with me?"
" You see enough of me as it is," said
the husband, lightly.

George. You would be very lonesome j

" Not if it was my place of business, .is i

"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

" 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

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

The wife went out. and the husband

the floor, and whistled a<min. Finall
the clock struck nine, and his wife r<
I turned.
"Well, George?I am back in goo

"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

" Why?no?I can't say that it is," r<
turned George. " I rather like it."

You shall have a nice, comfortable wee

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,

thought I would walk down by Unci

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

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

At the Cape of Good Hope, near Tab]

' 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

j called Grigna Land West (the old " j\(

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

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 ; together; he "made a solitude and calk

" 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

Zululand is next in order. The area <

Instinct or Season.
A small English terrier belonging to a
friend [has been taught to ring for the
servant. To test if the dog knew why it
rang the bell, he was told to do so while
the girl was in the room. The little
fellow looked up in the most intelligent
manner at the person giving the or&er
(his master or mistress, I forget which),
then at the servant, and refused'to obey,
although the order was repeated more
than once. The servant left the room,
and a few minutes afterward the dog
r.in<; the bell immediately on being tola
to do so. # I give the following as told
by my wife, now dead, who personally
witnessed the transaction on various occasions.
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. Of course no one taught
the donkey to do this, but the quad
raped gave the biped a practical
lesson, from which I am not aware
that they drew the abstract verbally fornnnnlnoinn
flint. rPflQAn mov

American Schoolma'ams.
. 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." Your
! lady teachers were thus eloquently and
; successfully defended, but it was surely
I an odd subject for discussion in the
! British House of Commons.

mencement of their business, which by
' its own merits has grown to large pro;
portions. At the "tart the capacity oi
i their works was two or three melodeons
I per week, the best of which sold for
| about one hundred dollars each; theii
i present capacity is over two hundred
i cabinet organs per week, and they are
' most of the time behind orders, while
I their best productions now command
I five hundred dollars each, and in excepi
tional cases several times this amount.
' In numbering their instruments they
! have reached 104,000, having actually
| made and sold nearly that number.
; Organs of their make have! obtained an
i extraordinary reputation all over the
; world, and are sold in every civilized
; country where the tariff is not so high as
to be prohibitory. Musicians recognize
in them a distinguished excellence in
i quality of tone, the result, in largemeasI
ure, perhaps, of peculiar skill in voicing
reeds, an art which originated with this
! company. But in every respect it has
, always been a principle with them to
! make in each detail the best instrument
possible and to sell them as low as pos!
sible. The skillful carrying out of this
I policy has resulted in this great success.

In addition to its tonic and cathartic properties,
