A gallant form is passing by, The plume bends o'er his lordly brow, A thousand tongues have raised on high, His song of triumph now. Young knees are bending round his way, And age makes bare his locks of gray. Fair forms have lent their gladdest smiles; White bauds have waved the conqueror on And flowers have decked bis path the while, ' By gentle fingers strown. 1 Soft tones have cheered him, and the brow Of beuuty beams, uncovered now. The burd hath waked the song for him, And poured his boldest numbers forth. , The winecupsparkling to the brim, Adds frenzy to the mirth ; And every tongue and every eye, i Does homage to the passer-by. The cannon thunder strikes the ear, And martial strains their witchery blend 'Neath battle flag the ".Men of Peace." Their benediction lend To I'agod things of sabre sway, With fronts of brass and feet of clay. The gallant steed treads proudly on ; His foot fallR lirmly now, as when In strife that iron heel went down Upou the hearts of men; And foremost in the ranks of strife, Trod out the last dim spark of life. m' * vaIaa 112 hpiird. Xtie warrior b biui mj iu.w ? , To lead the charge with wrathful mien. And brothers Join in carnage dread. Till darkness shrouds the scene, Mid oaths and groans and cries to God, And gar.nents rolled in vital blood. Dream they of these?the glad and gay, That bend around the conqueror's path, The horrors of the conflict day? The glooiny held of death? The ghastly slain?the severed head? The mourners weeplug o'er the dead ? Dark thoughts and fearful! yet they bring No terrors to the triumph hour, Nor stay the reckless worshipping Of blended crime and power. The fair of form, the mild of mood, Do honor to the man of blood. Men?Christians! pause?the air ye breathe is poisoned by your idol now ; And will ye turn to him and wreathe Your ehapiets round his brow? Nay, call his darkest deeds sublime, And smile assent to giant crime? SyVGreat King of Peace, whom we adore, Look down with pity from above; Oh, lift the awful curse of war, And reign in peace and love. Oh, come, Lord Jesus, quickly come, Erect thy Kingdom and thy Throne! The Daughter at Home. There's another thing, a rock on which the happiness of unselfish mothers is often wrecked, and which you must never lose sight of, for the sake of your children as well as yourself. Always keep your rightful place as head of the household. Young America is strong-willed and progressive. It is very apt, entirely without malice, to push aside the mother whose cares! have worn upon her. who lets herselfl get old fashioued or behind the times, so that, while not exactly ashamed, I the children are yet not quite proud of her. Avoid this danger at whatever cost of time and study. Let not the world slip away from you ; dress at least as well as your daughter?you 1 ought to dress better?go out with her, help her entertain her friends. Fall 1 into the new way of thiugs, which she will be sharp to see and to point out, layiug a table, serving a luncheon, even pronouncing a word. Do not think that I recommend that the whole household be set to the tune 1 of "My Daughter." I mean simply J that vou should make her life pleasant ! and busy, that you shall not attempt to drive her in any of the ways your 1 wisdom decides to be right, that you j shall not fill her days with distasteful ' work, and by making her uncomfortable induce her to thiuk of marriage as a release, and that you shall not mortify her by antiouated ways. This critical age happily does not | last forever, and the one thiug to hold i on to, at whatever price, is your daugh- . ter's love for you, and her confidence in your interest in her. If she devel- 1 ops a desire for an independent income j of her own earning, this is a healthy j impulse, and you must help her. Have her trained in the one thing she i can do till it will bring in money. < She will probably be content to work at it at home, and enjoy there the free- < dom it gives her, or even to practice it only for the pleasure of her friends. Whatever she feels imperative to her life assist Iier in, anu give ner me oeii- i elit (very s})aringly) of your age aud experience- Of course she will not < take it; no one will letun by another's ; knowledge?it is part of our life's dis- i cipline to require our own. The one : way to keep your daughter yours in heart at this critical "storm-and-stress" peiiod is to keep her as near you as 1 possible, to advise when she wants ad- i vice, to comfort under failure, to be her refuge and best friend always. j This, O mother, is your holy and divinely appointed mission. By these means you will guide that tempest- > tossed bark through the whirlpool, past the rocks, around the falls, aud i have the comfort of seeing it pursuing its calm aud even way in the stiller waters beyond. Olive Thome Miller, in "Harper's Jiazar. An Imprisoned Congregation.? Some years ago the pastor of a church ii? a rural district of Missouri shepherded a llock, some members of which were in the iiabit of leaving the house while he was yet in the middle of a discourse. This was an eye-sore to the visiting incumbent, and when one day a reverend brother volunteered to preach for him, he felt called upon to speak of the annoyance. "Oh ! I'll stop that," was the reply. 1 "I'll warrant you that no one leaves until I'm done." Accordingly, when he arose to speak he introduced his sermon with the following : "My friends, before I begin my sermon I wish to make a few not irrelevant remarks. You all know that a vessel when full is full, and that to continue to pour iuto it is folly. Some vessels are capable of holding a great deal, when others, agaiu, are easily filled. So it i9 with men's heads, and it is possible that some yours may become full before I'm through. If so, I want you to feel at perfect liberty to leave." The sermon lasted an hour and a quarter, but not a soul stirred. "Do you know," said a young man afterward, '*1 had a team of restless young horses outside, but I wouldn't have gone to look after them for one hundred dollars!" Detroit Free 'Press. Good Advice.?Joseph Joslin, Esq., of Poultney, Vt., gave his daughter, on her marriage, the following "words of wisdom," which will do for every pair: Never talk at, but to, each other. Never both manifest anger at the same time. Never speak loudly or boisterously to each other. Never reprove each other in the presence of other. Never find fault or fret at what cannot be helped. Never repeat an order or request, when understood. Neglect everybody else rather than each oiher. Never make a remark at the other's expense. Indianapolis Ham's Horn. Fire Little Stitches. Five little stitches ! And they were taken more than twenty-five years ago. And why should they be remembered more than thousands of other stitches taken by the same fingers? I will tell you. Little Hose went to the "infant school" then. It was a very happy place for little folks. They had no hard lessons in arithmetic or geography. The nearest approach to lessons was saying over the "multiplication table" in a sort of rhyming concert? "twice one are two, twice two are four" while the teacher slid along the little wooden balls on the wire frame to suit the words. No; but when the marching was over, there were plenty of busy fingers learning to sew. Rose was making blocks of patchwork?"nine-patch" her mother called it. Rose's mother cut the small squares, and basted them neatly for Rose to sew "over and over"?one block a day. And it was Rose's special delight to show her mother the neatly-finished block each night, and be able to say, "I did it all myself." ^ * -1 One warm June usiy itose luuuu nci needle rather dull, and the new pink chintz so hard to sew. Her fingers trembled when she came to where the four corners met, aud she tried in vain with her thimblele.-s lingers to push ihe needle through so many thicknesses of cloth. She looked at the little girl who sat next to her on the same bench?an older girl than Rose by two years, and rich in the possessession of a "real silver" thimble. Rose passed the block to Pogue (a cu rious name, but her very own ; it rhymed with her surname, too), and motioned to a little hard corner touching'her thimble, and nodded and winksignificantly. Pogue understood, and taking the nine-patch, sowed very neatly over the hard place. Rose watching carefully lest she do too much. One, two, three, four, five stitches ; and, O, so neatly done! Rose bowed and smiled her thanks, and put in a stitch or two as neatly as possible next to the "five," when she stopped in dismay at the thought that popped into her conscientious little head?"I can't tell mother I did it myself." It would take away half her pleasure not to be able to say this. And yet it was so very little?only just five stitches. "I needn't mind that," came the temptation. "I can say I did it myself, for that's almost nothing." "But it is help," another voice said, "and you .had better say, 'I did nearly all.' " But, Rose couldn't make up her mind to say this. Her mother would oe sure lO iiiihr, 1i rogue wnru uny of it, likely she made half the block?at least one seam across. So you see it was a real struggle. And how do you suppose she settled it ? After looking at it about as long as it has taken me to tell you this, Rose unthreaded her needle, and very deliberately picked out those five stitches, and then went to work and sewed them uver herself. And she is glad to-day that she did. Not because it might not have been foolish for her to be so anxious about the credit of doing the work all herself? no; but because it was her first resistance to the tempta[ion to tell a falsehood ! And re^isttnce once always makes it easier to resist again. So I did not think that Rose ever told a deliberate falsehood since that day when she came so near making a black spot in her memory instead of a bright one.?Exchange. They Were All Poor Boys. John Adams, second President, was :he son of a farmer of very moderate means. The only start he had was a |ood education. Andrew Jackson was born in a log liut in North Carolina, and was raised n the pine-woods for which the State is famous. James K. Polk spent the earlier fears of his life helping to dig a living jut of a new fami in North Carolina. He was afterward- a clerk in a country store. Millard Fillmore was the son of a New York farmer, and his home was a very humble one. He learned the jusiness of clothier. James Buchauan was born in a small town in the Alleghany Mountlius. His father cut the logs and built the house in what was then a wilderness. Abraham Lincoln was the son of a very poor farmer in Kentucky, and lived in a log cabin until he was twenty-one years old. Andrew Johnson was apprenticed to a tailor at the age of ten years by his widowed mother. He was never able to attend school and picked up all the education he ever had. General Grant lived the life of a common boy in a common house on the banks of the Ohio River, until he was seventeen veal's of aire. James A. Garfield was born in a log cabin. He worked on the farm until he was strong enough to use carpenter tools, when he learned the trade. He afterwards worked on the canal. God Knows Me, Anyhow. Frank had beautiful long hair hanging over his shoulders, and his parents were very proud of his appearance. One day he got his mother's scissors, went to the looking-glass, and cut off nil his fair locks. His father and mother were much displeased with him for doing so and resolved to punish him this way: when tliey were all seated at the dinner-table, his father pointing to him said to his mother, "What little boy is that?" "I'm your little Franky, papa," he at once said, not giving his mother t ime to renlv. "Nonsense." was the father's nuswer, "my little Franky has beautiful longhair; I would nut give my Franky for a dozen boys as you." Franky now turned to his mother, and said', "Ain't I your little Franky ?" but mamma only shook her head. Matters were now looking serious, and Franky, becoming alarmed could not make any progress with his dinner. He now appealed to his brother, and asked if he was not little Franky; but bis brother only shook his head.* He was becoming very unhappy at the thought that father, mother, and brother no longer recognized him ; and at last he burst into tears, saving, as he did .so, "Well, it don't matter much, for God knows me anyhow." Tears were now in other eyes as well as Frunky'.s m Don't suppose that people are hostile to you in the world. You will rarely find anybody designedly doing you ill. You may feel often as if the world is obstructing you, more or less; but you will lind that to be because the world is traveling in a different way from you. and rushing on in its own path. The Canadian Presbyterian distributes the Episcopalians of tlie Dominion into three classes: "Jiroad and hazy, Low and lazy, High and cra-y." There is nothing more tiresome and flat than a poem read at a public celebration of any eveut. The Preacher and the Post-Boj. At a count ry inn, on one of his journeys, Mr. Capers had stopped for the night, after a very cold day's ride. After supper he found a small lad sitting by the tire, thinly clad, and with a look of anxiety in his face. The proprietor of the house presently said : "John, if T were you, 1 would not go to-night." At these words the little fellow's tears began to flow, and he replied : "Why did you say so? You know 1 must go." Mr. Capers asked what John's busi-l ness was. He learned that the boy was a mail-carrier, and had to take the mail-bag twenty-one miles that night. He had no other cbthing than what he then wore -all of cotton goods and thin enough. The night was bitter, and rain and sleet were then falling. Mr. Capers told him that he must freeze to death if he persisted in going; and that if he would abandon the attempt, his employer should be informed that he remained by the advice and persuasion of friends. To this the little fellow, in tears, said : "I must go. If I don't I shall lose my place, and then my mother and lister will starve." Shortly'afterward the mail-carrier who brought the mail which John was to take forward arrived. He came to the lire, throwing oft' a large bear-skin ... ?i ti/.of- u'ifh :i overcutii IUUUCU >??c*4 profane expression, declined that he was frozen through. Mr. Capers said to him : "Friend, if, with your overcoat on, you are nearly frozen, what will he the fate of this poor hoy, thinly clad as he is, who has to ride twenty-one miles and carry the mail you have brought ?" * "He will not live to get over the swamp that is just ahead, and four miles wide," said he. Mr. Capers then went to the landlady to purchase a quilt or blanket to cover John, who persisted that he must try to go. She said she could spare nothing of the kind. "Madam," said he, "let me have this half-worn blanket for the child; I will give you four dollars for it." "No, sir," she said, "you will all find before morning that I have no blanket to sell." Returning to the fire, he said to the owner of the overcoat: ''Sir, will you sell me your overcoat for this boy ?" "Yes," said he, "if I can get cost for it?eight dollars." The money was immediately paid, and Mr. Capers handed the coat to thG boy, whose eyes instantly brightened. He put it on, and soon set out on his dreary ride, this puicnase nau exhausted Mr. Capers's money, and left hiui only twenty-five cents. The next morning he took formal leave of the family without asking for his bill, determining to send back, as soon us he arrived home, the amount usually charged for a night's lodging. On the part of the host nothing was said about pay when he departed. The next night he lodged with a Presbyterian family, with whom he had no acquaintance. When the time came for family worship his host, impressed by his appearance and conversation that he was a religious man, invited him to join them and lead the devotional exercises. After prayers, he inquired if the stranger were not a minister. Mr. Capers told him who he was, and that he was returning home after a year's work on the circuit he had just traveled. Before breakfast the next morning he said to Mr. Capers : "Friend, we do not belong to the same denomination of Christians. You area Methodist and I am a Pres oyienan. n is, i uuic su^, ? itu ujiu-j isters of your denomination as with ours?you at times stand in need of a little money. Will you please accept of this?" handing him twenty dollars. On reaching home, Mr. Capers inclosed a proper amount in a letter to the tavern-keeper where he had met with the post-boy, explaining the circumstances. The money, however, was soon returned, on the ground that they never charged preachers. And he was requested to call again whenever he passed that way. Wight man's Life of Bishop Capers. Home Happiness.?Dear boys and girls, you can add very much to home happiness, especially if you have a mother who is not very strong, or a grandpa or a grandma who is aged and feeble, by being thoughtful and mannerly. There is a right way to open and shut the door; a right* way to move from one part of the room to the oth er ; a right way to sit down, to rise, to hold a book?a right way to do everything that is worth doing at all. And, yes, we have known children to give their parents sad hearts by neglect of these little home duties. It is more easy to do these right than to do them wrong. One very ugly habit some young people have is ihat of calling aloud the name of a brother or sister, or even that of a father or mother, who may be in another room, or up stairs, or in the yard. A polite person will always go to the one whose attention is required and speak in a low and modest tone of voice. The home might be made far more pleasant by observance of many of these little matters. 4 <X> - ? Youk Motiiku Tongue.?"I was walking along the street the other day," says Dr. Holland, "when I met an elegantly dressed lady and gentleman upon the footway. As I came within hearing of their voices?they were quietly chatting along the way? I heard these words from the woman's lino *W\n in u \r Kaf vnni? lifo nn tln.it ' I was disgusted. A woman who deals only in superlatives demonstrates at once the fact that her judgment is subordinate to her feelings, and that her opinions are entirely unreliable. All lauguage thus loses its power and siguitieance. The same words are brought into use to describe a ribbon in a milliner's window as are employed to do justice toThalberg's execution of Beethoven's most heavenly symphony. Let me insist upon this thing. L5e more economical in the use of your mother tongue. If a thing is simply good, say so; if pretty, say so; if very pretty, say so; if fine, say so; if very fine, say so; if grand, say so; if sublime, say so; if magnificent, say so; if splendid, say so.

Theseuson has comeagain for whitewashing fences, out-buildings, etc. Every one can afford this method of |adornment, aud there is nothing that adds so much to the pleasure and comfort of our surroundings at so small an outlay. A bushel of lime and a few hours' labor will work a mighty trunsformation. But aside from mere appearances, whitewash is a good preservation of wood, and for this reason is worth far more than it costs. Below we give some good receipes for luukingit. The following is the formula used by the United States Government : "Yellow Wash for Buildings.?Dissolve one pound of copperas in eight gallons of water; let it stand twentyfour hours, stirring well two or three times. Use this mixture to slake the lime you use, and to thin it to proper consistency for whitewash. Add hydraulic cement equal to the amount of lime used, and a half gallon of clean sand to 15 gallons of whitewash. Stir frequently as used. The surface should be sprinkled before the wash is applied." "Cheap Paint for Fences, etc.?One bushel good unslacked lime, 20 pounds Whiliiwr 17 t^iOlirls l'Olik Salt UF'",W" 6, . . , and 12 pounds brown sugar. Slake the lime and sift it to get out lumps. Mix with forty gallons of water, then add the other ingredients, and stir thoroughly. Put 011 two coats on wood or three on brick. Jt does not wash ofT and is not easily rubbed off. Can be colored with amber, lampblack or Indian red." Sunshine.?"I'm bound to have sunshine in my house," said a bright faced, cheery-voiced West Philadelphia matron. "I mean tbe sunshine that comes from a happy disposition. Many a child goes astray, not because there is a want of prayers or virtue at home, but simply because home lacks sunshine. A child needs smiles us much as flowers need sunbeams. Children look beyond the present moment, thouurh many of us think that they don't. If a thing pleases they are apt to s^e it. If home is the I)lace where faces are sour and voices larsh, and fault finding in the ascendancy, they will spend as i> any hours as possible elsewhere. The great study of my life is to make my husband and children happy. A movement seems to be on foot in the Evangelic Church, England, to make total abstinence a test of membership, on the ground that it is illogical to exclude the liquor vender from fellowship, while admitting the person who purchased and partakes of intoxicating liquors.
