One after one, as dwindling hours, Youth's glowing hopes have dropped away, And soon may barely leave the gleam, That coldly scores a winter's day. I am not young, I am not old; The flush of morn, the sunset calm, Paling and deepening, r:ach to each, - Meet midway with a ;olemu charm. One side I see the summer fields, Not yet disrobed of all their green; While westerly, along the hills, Flame the first tints of frosty sheen. Ah! middle point, where clouds and storm Make battie-ground of this my life! Where, even matched, the night and day Wage round me their September strife! I bow me to the threatening gale; I know, when that is overpast, Among the peaceful harvest days, An Indian sammer comes at last. FoR THE HERALD. THE UNTILENTED ONE, BY REB. -0 They were a talented family, certainly, were the Carmans; each member possessing some particu lar talent, or accomplishment, in which she excelled. There was Elizabeth, whose music enrapt ured all who heard her play, and caused the staid old Professors to open their eyes- in astonishment at the rapid progress she made in that art. Then, Emma, who'could converse. for hours on the merits and beauties of Claude Lorraine's pictures, and, when the listener had admiringly expressed his won der at her knowledge of the sub. ject under discussion, she would. rise with gentle grace, and bring forward a few little sketches of er own production, for his in spection and opinion ; taking the praise, she was sure of receiving, without the slightest em barass moent. Jerusha, who amply made amends for her common name, by charming the neighborhood with the many specimens of fine needlework and embroidery for which she was noted; several of the most wonderful, assisting in adorning the parlor. Maria, the learned one, who could converse in five different languages, and whose favorite pastime was to puzzle individuals* by propo und ing a question in French, Ger man, or Spanish, and to note the bewildered expression which it aalled forth. .Truly, their's was a talented family, and I presume if there had been a son he would have been-well, Heaven knows what ! I had almost forgotten to men tioni the youngest member of the family, a girl of sixteen, but then [ may venture to assert that she was occasionally ignored by her mother and sisters. Poor little Lucy was unskilled in any of the arts which were the delight of her sisters, and surely that was suffi cient cause to account for the fact that she was the chosen one on whom all the disagreeable tasks shunned by the others, fell. The consequence was, that she lived a quiet life apart from the rest of the family, until they began to imagine that such was the life most suited to one of her disposi tion, and at length Lucy shared their opinion, and often wondered why she was not talented too, and wished she was more like her sisters. Poor Lucy ! she could not play the most simple tune upon any in strument without making a half a dozen mistakes ; knew nothing of artists,.or pictures; hated sewing ; and as to languages, her Latin was was limited to one short sentence, "Amo te," and the sole French phrase of which she could deci pher the meaning, was "J' amie," though 1 very much ques tion if she could have told which was Latin and which French. There was one person, however, who could and would have sym pathized with Lucy, had he been aware tat she needed consola. tion, karry Gnew, an admirer of Emma's. He imagined that he liked Miss Emma very muc? and tried to persuade himself that he loved her very dearly, and really enjoyed her society very well, until she started her favorite topic which was all Greek to him. He was indeed a very unappreciative person, so said Elizabeth ; she would play one of her finest and most difficultjpieces for his especial edification, and when she finished, with a self-satisfied air, he would quietly thank her, and then be nignly and innocently asked if she played "Old Dog Tray" with vari ations. The :ily answer he ever received to a like request was a scornful look, and the advice that be had better ask Lucy, which ad vice he always folowed, and when that young lady played the desired tune he would- feel extremely aratified,.and begin to think how very pleasant it would be to have Lucy always to play for him the mbsic -he preferred. Perhaps because Lucy's tastes and habits closely resembled his >wn; or, perhaps, it was a pleas sant reci'eation to watch her pretty white hands wander over the keys, or, perhaps the other young ladies frightened him by their learning and accomplish-, ments, but certain it is he began thinking much oftener of Lucy than one who sincerely believed himself a suitor of Emma should have done. They all lived a quiet, peaceful life for some time, but one day trouble came to them as it mnst ome to everyone. Poor Mr. Car man fell ill of a dangerous fever and died very suddenly. Happily the renainitig members of the ramily, with the exception of Lucy escaped ; she was very ill for several -weeks, but finally re aovered. The stay and support A mother and daughters was now taken away and they were com olled to maintain themselves. The four older girls very soon urned their accomplishmenta to ood account and managed by int of much economy to relieve heir mothei of all anxiety con erning them. But Lucy, she ould do nothing, and her illness ad render6d -her-~incapable of much exertion, although she was uite willing and 'would have been willing to work herself to death bad her strength permitted. Mrs. Carman's- incessant fault fnding and -querulous complain ings rendered Lucy unhappy. Va rious were the surmises formed in her mind concerning her stu pidity as she called her failure to xcel in any one art, while her sis ters were so opposite in character and intellectual superiority, and sometimes she felt inclined to be lieve that she could not be one of rs. Carman 's daughters, and hough?t it extremely probable that the genuine Lucy had been stolen when an infant and she sub'tituted in her place; a com mon occurrence in stories she had read. It happened one day, when Mrs. arman's reproaches and scold ings had surpassed their usual bounds, that Lucy, feeling partic larly miserable, crept away to a secluded nook of the .garden where, unobserved, she could seek to understand the, as yet, unsolved problem of her existence. "0," thought she, "whbat can be the reason I am so different from verybody I ever knew or heard of. I don't believe there is one person who really loves me; but, then, it is all my fault, it must be, though I1 don't know how in the world to change my character and render myself a more attractive girl-0, dear 1 0, dear !" "I have been looking all about for you, Miss Lucy," said a voice which closely resembled Harry Gnew's, "and began to believe that you bad committed suicide,, but-why Lucy ! you have been crying." "No, I have not," protested Lu cy, dashing away the tears and endeavoring to cause a smile to past the rosy lips. "I daresay you will find Emma at home. I left her in the parlor a few min utes ago; I expect she'll be glad to see you." "But I assure you I have no do sire to see Miss Emma. I caliet on yon this afternoon." "On me, Mr. Gnew. How queer I am sure I don't understand what must 1 do ? Ask you in th( parlor? What will Emma say?' "It is not of the slightest con sequence to mc what opinion MisE Emma may hold on the subject, and we necd't go to the house just yet. Lucy, darling Lucy," he continued, taking both her handE in his, "I must tell you how very, very dearly I love you. and-" "Love me," interrupted Lucy, in surprise, "you surely can't mean what you say, because, you know, I'm not talented." "But, my own Lucy, I do mean what I say, every word of it, and now tell me will you be my wife?" "Indeed, indeed, I couldn't be your wife, Harry-Mr. Gnew, I mean, for I am so useless. Why, my entire knowledge of cookery consists in the making of biscuits, and I am certainly not skilled in sewing, though I could manage to darn your socks, but that would be very little." "Hang the socksI Lucy, tell me, do you love ?" "J't'amie," answered she, blush. ing. "What's that Lucy ? Goodness, what does it mean ? I hope it,is'nt Spanish?" "0, no," laughed she, "its Lat in-no, French, and it means bend your head and I'll tell you;" and she shyly told the meaning, which mu6t have been satisfactory, for he drew her into his arms and kissed her tenderly, uttering words of endearment. CLucv," said Harry, after a pause, "I firmly believe you are as talented as anybody, only you have never discovered it; just like the parable in the Bible you know, when the man hid the talent God had given him in the ground; and I believe you could write for the papers-why don't you try, dear?" "0, Harry ! I could'nt." "Indeed you could. Try it Lucy, It is very easy and simple. Have a murder, a fire, a duel, two or three secret doors, a brigand, a princess or something of that sort, and it is done; its the eaisest thing in the world." For several weeks succeeding this conversation Lucy courted solitude .more assiduously than ever, and Harry wondered if she was following, what he considered the best advice, and sometimes ventured to propound a question on the all-important subject ; but Luby always laughed in answer, and told him he was a ridiculous fellow, a response excessively de. lighted him. His conjectures on the subject were . soon p)ut at rest, however, for one morning, several weeks after her engagement, Lucy en* tered the sitting-room where her mother ann sisters were at work, in a fever of excitement, her curls flying, her eyes bright, and rush. ing to her mother's side, embraced and kissed the lady with such fervor as nearly to cause that esti miable person to lose her equili brium; and then as her mother stared in astonishment, threw into her lap a twenty dollar and a five dollar bill ; crying delightedly: "Mother, I've written a story for the Weekly Gazette," and that's the remuneratiorn, and i'm going to write again, and I'm so happy, because I am talented-and, 0 mother ! I never told you, but I'm engaged to Harry ,Gnew." "Stop one .minute, Lucy, and I will try to coinprehen<d. You say you have written a story ; I can scarcely believe it." "I am so glad that you are tal ented, too, dear. It quite adds to the artistic reputation already en~ joyed by the family," smiled Eliza. beth. "I can't imagine how you could write a story when you have no knowledge of the languages," said Maria. "0," Lucy replied, "Harry was very kind aad got me a book with a lot of quotations, and I put in plenty of them. That was easy enough." "And," added Emma, "you wil] be able to support yourself so Permit me to have a word to say on that subject, ladies," said Harry Gnew, entering at that op portune moment. "When I ob tain your consent, Mrs. Carman, to our marriage, Lucy may write for amusement. I am sure you will not refuse to give me your youngest daughter ?" "Lucy has always been a great comfbrn to me," replied Mrs. Car man, tearfully, "and I was unpre pared to part with her for some years; but this is one of the chief trials a mother is called upon to bear, and I cannot expect to be more favored than others. So take her, Harry, with my bless ing." Here the good lady's emotions so overcame her that she was compelled to leave the room. Thib emotion, by the by, being slightly at variance with her treat ment of her daughter a few weeks before. But then it is said that "blessings brighten as they take their flight" and we may imagine a certain blessing, which had, the moment before, added io the household treasury, the sum of twenty-five dollars, absolutely ra diant at the instant of its depar ture. As Mrs.Carman's retreating form disappeared, the happy Lucy gen tly placed her bid in that of her lover, saying: "The approbation of mother and sisters, which I now enjoy, is all owing to you, dear Harry; to you belongs the honor of discovering my talent, and, but for your en couragement, I should always have :-etained the indifferent title of 'The Untalented One.'" 15seeUateiz1. FOR THE HERALD. BROADBRIM'S PARIS LET TER. NO. 25. China anduapan in the (3rest Erpoasition. Side by ide, on one of the grandest avenues of the Eposition, are the exhibits of China and Japan. To the outside barbarian unac quainted with the peculiarities of either, these Lwo people seem very much alike and yet there is far less difference between a Scotchma.n and a Turk, or between a Frenchman and a Fin than there is between an inhabitant of Yeddo and Pekin. The youthful American of forty years ago who sought to enlarge the field of his knowledge by the sublime study of geography after learning, to his astonishment, that the world was round, discovered near the title page a magnificent illustration of a Ohinaman selling rats and puppies for pies. Our in tercourse with China has increased since then, the Chinaman's pig tail is no longer a stranger to our hearthstones, but the popular tra dition still survives, and a pate de foie gras, or a ragout a la Gramal kin are not supposed to be an un dainty dish to set before the King The Chinaman is the sublimest of all sublime egotists ; the Japanese the most practical of all practical progressors. The Chinaman sticks to his baggy breeches, his insig nificant cap and his barbarous shoes unsuspicous of the absurd figure he cuts in the midst of civilized sur roundings. The Japanese has hard ly set his foot on shore in New York, London, Paris or San Fran cisco, that he forthwith orders a swallow tailed coat and a dozen white choakers ; and when he wakes up in the morning rings for his whisky cocktail or brandy and selt zer, like a christian who had been enjoying the blessings of a higher civilization. The difference was never more perceptible than it is at the present time in Paris. The Chinaman stands stolidly by his goods and if you want to buy he is quite ready to sell, but he won't put himself out of the way to so licit your custom. The Japanese fastens to you like a leech, and he does not let go till he gets some thing ; but in trade or out of trade, at home or abroad the Ja panese is a gentleman, a thing which can only occasionally be sa of hi illastrious brother of the moon. The exhibits o both countries are large and at tractive, the greatest excellence being attained in articles of nl earthly use to any one, ani which for exquisite ugliness ani unique deformity could scarcely b< beaten if the devil himself were th< architect; horrible heads, mon stroas looking monsters, gaping dragons, griffins and ichthusau riams, grin and jibber at you in al most every department. Occasional ly some Chinese artist with a sod above buttons gives us a screen 0 a picture with some exquisite touches of art, but the great ma jority of their work is of the horribl( and monstrous kind. Near thE central aisle is a bedstead com pose,d of bamboo and sandal wood, which is a marvel of laborious carv ing. It looks as though long yearE of labor might have been ex hausted on it and whole lives have been worn out in its construction Yet nothing can be conceived more repulsive than the style of its orna mentation; huge lizards climb up the bed posts, fierce looking croco diles glance down upon you froo the roof, pot bellied men and 1ewd looking-women seem to find infnite amusement in pulling each other's hair, and in picking out each other eyes. Red and gold,. gold and red are the darling colors of a Chiha man, while a Japanese taste findE its most exquisite gratification ir the darker shades of brown and grey and those sweet mauve colorf which have been regarded as the highest standards whenever a high. er civilization has pre6ailed. Ix the department of silk, however, the Chinese are scarcely surpassed by Italy or France, while it is truc that the Chinese silks lack the body and finish which recommend thei so highly to the markets of Europe yet they have a finish and qualit3 peculiarly their own. There is one case of Chinese silks which is un surpassed by any that I have evei seen. If I am not very much mis taken, the goods are the same which were exhibited at Philadel phia two years ago. As a simple display of color, it is a marvellous revelation. The brightest of yel lows, the most emerald of greens the most brilliant of blues, the in tensest of reds mingled with all the wonderful shades that lie betweer the grand divisions of color ; bar barons and extravagant in every thing else, in silk weaving and dye ing and ivory carving, they have displayed a taste and ability whici entitle them to the highest con sideration. In every departmeni the thing that impresses itself or you most is the utter uselessness o: the great majorit~y of their work huge jars that never did hold any thing cost hundreds and hundreds od of dollars, monstrous carvings, the very sight of which would drive thE baby into fits, are valued at asKing'L ransom; yet, strange to say, these hidious things are eagerly soughi after by ladies from Colorado and Washington Territory who are anxious to carry back some little souvenirs of the Paris Exhibitior of 1878. In the matter of sales 3apan has distanced every othei nation. They are the Yankees oi the Orient and what they can't sel] is really not worth buying. They are so uniformly polite and gen tiemanly that it is a genuine pleas ure to be swindlled by them. The leading article with the Japanese in~ the present Exhibition is bronze, and in the fabrication of wonderful vases they are certainly unsurpassed. Their exquisite damascene work has never been surpassed by the finest silversmiths of our own land. Some of these vases are wonderful, aye and beautiful too, after their kind, it is true it is a singular kind but al most before you know it you aind yourself admiring an immense pile of bronze covered with lizards, frogs and snals; every nook and cranny of it alive with all sorts oi creeping things. But the very best evidence of Japanese enter prise is that all their goods are marked sold. When the Commis sion goes back to Japan it is ru mored that one of the loveliest girls in Paris may possibly be one of the party. They met at the last re ception of the Minister of marine and it was a case of love at firsi sight; -cetain it is that he can be f seen with her almost any day at the Exposition, and they say that in three months he has made such progress in his French that he I speaks it like a native of Paris, and I the lady has made such proficiency in Japanese that she is already en gaged for asiistant interpreter. As the weather grows cool the crowds increase. Truly yours, BROADBRIBL A-t eight o'clock the other horn ing a Second street wife followed her husband down to the gate as -he was starting for down town, and kiindly said to him : "William, you know how sadly I need a blue bunting dress." "Yes, dear." he remarked, "but you know how hard up I am. As soon as I can see my way clear you shall have the dress and a new hat to boot. Be patient, be good, and your reward shall be great." Forty minutes after that he emerged from a restaurant with a big basket and a fish-pole, bound up the river. In the basket was a chicken, pickles, cake, fruit, pie, and a bottle of liquid of a rich color, and he was just,lighting a twenty-cent cigar when his wife came along. "What! you here ?" he ex claimed. "Yes, I was going to market. Where are you going? What's in that basket ?" "I was going to carry this fish pole around to a fried on Jeftr son avenue," he modestly an swered. "And that basket ?" "This basket-well, I wasgoing to take it to the orphan asylim as a present to the children.' -Vis a donation from six leading citi zens." "William, I don't believe it-I" "Sh ! Don't,talk so loud " "William, I shall talk- loader yet!" she exclaimed. "I'll bet you are going fishing I" "Mary, have I ever deceived you ?" he plaintively asked. - 'I never have. As proof of tny sin eerity, you can take this basket to the asylum yourself !" - "And .T'll do it !" she promptly repied as she relieved him of it. 'Mary, hadn't you--?" "No, sir, 1 hadn't. You better hurry up with that fish-pole, as the man may want it, and be care ful how you stand around in the hot sun !" She left him there. He watch ed her take the car for home, and then he returned the fish-pole and crossed the street and said to an acquaintance : "Tom, i'm suffering with neuial gia, and the excursion is o till next week. Too bad, but we can never tell what a giay may bring forth." There was chicken and pickles and other good things on the table at dinner, but he never smiled. Even when his wife wished she' was an orphan, if that was the way they were fed, he never be t.rayed the gloom in his heart. It was only when she handed him the bottle he had s' carefully tucked into the basket, and he saw it labeled, '-Good for 'little chil dren," that he said: "Mary, it is an awful thing for a wifo to get the impression that her husband is a cold-blooded liar !", "It must be," s he'replied, as she took the other chicken leg. (.Detroit Free Press. It was an American who said: "We use two stones to grind the fiour of liberty. The lower is the school, the upper one is the Bible." We love much more warmly by cherishing the intention of giving pleasure than an hour aferwards when we have given it. The activity and soundness of a man 's actions will be determined by the activity and soundness of *his thoughts. Charity under divine impulse may relieve suffering, charity un der divine wisdom will prevent it. He.that loveth pleasure shall be. a poor man.
