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.

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?

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!"

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Whitewashing.
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.
