What though we toil from sun to sun, And men forget to flatter rhe noblest work our hands have done If God approve, what matter? What matter though we sow in tears, And crops fail at the reaping; What though the fruit of patient years Fast perish in our keeping; Upon our hoarded treasure, floods Arise and tempests gather [f faith beholds beyond the clouds A clear sky, what matter?

A MOTHER'S SICRIFICE -0 A fire burned in the low grate, but the little light it gave re vealed all the grace of Mrs. Wing Eeld's slight form in its close ftting robes of black. To-night, for the first time in her two years of widowhood, she laid off the widow's cap, which had for so lorg served to conceal the thick auburn braids so artistically coiled about the small head. Perhaps for this same reason she had dis missed the batler when he en tered according to custom to light lamps, or perhaps becausA the slow ticking of the clock upon the mantel revealed to her suffi ciently the lapse of time without compelling her to distinguish the hands upon the face of the dial drawing nearer and nearer the hour whose close approach dis. sipated the calmness she vainly strove to gain. Eighteen years had passed since she and Arthur Mainwaring had met. They had been lovers in that far-off time, but he was poor then, with no whisper in the air of the rich inheritancee to which he afterward fell heir, just too late for it to bring happiness to either. Not that they cared for wealth. either of them, but then there were older, wiser minds to judge for both, and so, each vow ing eternal vows, tbey were torn apart. Six short months later she married. Edward Wingfield. He was, fortunately, not a man to look for love and sentiment in his young wife-only wifely duty and obedience. In these she never failed him, and after his death the world found proof of his esteem in the faet that to his widow revert ed all his fortune, untrammneled by a single reservation. She had married very young. Se was but thirty-five now. Would he find her changed, she wondered-he for whose coming she waited here to-day? Simultaneously with the thought came the sound of carriage wheels and horses' hcofs on the graveled walk. She started to her feet, pressing both hands upon her fast-beating heart. On ly that morning she had received the telegram announcing Arthur Main waring's coming, and already he wvas hero. She was glad, oh so glad, that the room was dark, when she heard the quick, firm tread she had sometimes heard in her dreams during these long years of dutiful living:; so glad that ho could not see the quick blush, which put her matronhbo>d to shame, when the door was thrown basily open, and three or four swift strides brought him to her side. 'Barbara!' Oh, bow his voice still thrilled her-bhalf with pleasure, half wi His tall form towered far above her as in the olden time ; but bE held close in his own firm, tendel grasp, her two little trembling bands. 'Are you glad to see me?" ht questioned. She strove to answer but her lips quivered, and n words came. 'lIrhnrzm' ho said thon agann and he bowed his handsome head lower, 'is it too soon to speak ?' 'Oh, Arthur,' she answered, 'can I yet atone ?' And then the bridge of years was swept .away, and she sobbed out her happiness upon his heart. 'Jet me see you," he said, at last. 'I have not yet seen the face for whieh I have hungered all these years.' He struck a light, then turned and looked at her. 'My darling!' he said. 'It is still my beautiful Barbara. What have I done to deserve this hour ?' 'Mamma, where are you ?' called out a fresh, girlish voice at this instant. The next moment a young girl of scarce seventeen summers sprang into the room. 'This is my daughter, Arthur my only child. Dora, let me pre sent you to one of your mother's oldest friends.' The gentleman indicated looked from one to the other-from the mother to. the daughter-then back again. ' Now he could real ize the lapse of time-now he could appreciate the changes years had wrought. It was as though he had brought the past and pre sent face to face forcing him to acknowledge the impossibility of nature's standing still. The daughter was a fair coun terpart of the motber's beauty. As sbe looked now shyly extend ing to him her hand, as if in de precation of her unceremonious entrance, so had Barbara looked, when extending her band in fare well, as though she would have said, 'I am forced into it by a stronger will than mine.' An uncomfortable sensation rose up in his breast-a dumb warring against the inevitable-an unac knowledged desire to retrace life's pathway and conquer time. Meantime the young girl pouted the full, red lips, as she thought her mother's friend straegely ab sent; and when be at last forced himself into a few words of greet ing, they fell upon dull, unheed ing ears. Then she had gone. The lovers were alone again, but he no longer opened wide his arms, but instead, drew a chair to her fide, that they might discuss more rationally. 'You must teach Dora -to love you,' she said to him next morn ing. 'I want first to reconcile her to my second marriage before startling her with its possibility. Tell me-do you think her like me ?' 'Your second self.' 'A b, I am so glad ! You will love her, then, for my sake ?' To love and be loved ! O'er easy task set by frail woman in her blindness. [t must be Mr. Mainwaring who must be Dora's companion in her daily ride. Mr. Mainwaring who must teach her to manage the cockle-boat-for which he had sent to town-in these first early spring days. The lovers were seldom alone now. Dora looked upon their guest as her property. She had long ago laughingly told him how unecre monious had been his welcome to her, and he had wooed and won his absolution. Sometimes Barbara sighed as she watched them together, while she sat alone, but she gave to the sigh no name, and thought it a tribute to the vanished years. One day came her awaking. Dora and Mr. Mainwaring had gone for their afternoon ride, but it had extended beyond its wont, and. she had growr anxious and gone out to meet them, striking into the forest path which was their favorite way. Half a mile from her home she met Dora's horse riderless. Pale with terror, she bastened on, when she suddenly stopped, rooted to the spot. Ai most at her feet knelt the man he? heart, had loved always, anid mn his arms he held Dora's uncon scions form. 'My love! imy life !' he said, each word being borne distinctly to her ear ; 'speak to me once just once ! Oh, Dora, are you urt ? My darling, would that]I might have given my life foi yours!I' Then he stooped and pressed his-lips to bers. A iong nuTTering sigh escaped them. 'Arthur!' she whispered ; 'Ar thur ' 'I am here, dear,' he said. And then he laid her down out of his arms, as though, with re turning life, he remembered the duty it brought with it. The mother sprang forward. 'Do not be alarmed,' Mr. Main. waring said, gently, on seeing her. 'Her horse threw her. 1 think there is no serious injury.' No serious injury! None' to Dora, but Barbara knew that her wound was past her. When, a few hours later, they knew that there was no need for anxiety on her account, Barbara shut herself up within her own room to fight her battle. '1 cannot give him up,' she moaned. 'He does not know his own beart. He will forget this child, and she-she cannot love him.' But even as she reasoned came the remembrance of the one word, 'Arthur!' and the tone in which she had spoken it. 'I will try her,' she said, and for the first time in her life came a feeling of bitter resentment even against her child. They were sitting together in the library as she entered. 'Arthur,' she said, 'I think it is time that we told Dora the truth.' The man's face paled. She could almost see him gird hiN soul for the conflict, and crush oat his heart behind his honor. Even Dora looked up with a suspicion of coming trouble. 'It is only this, dear,' Barbara said turning to her daughter ; 'has not Mr. Mainwaring told you that he was an engaged man ?' Then she saw that the steel had struck home. The child answered nothing as she turned two wet, reproachful eyes to him, who dared not meet their gaze. Until this instant she had not known that-she possessed a heart. She learned it now to her cruel cost. 'I must congratulate Mr. Main waring,' she said, calling up all her woman's pride to her aid, then hastened from the room to hide the burst of tears, the two were left alone. 'Does she suspect, do you think ?' she asked, gloating over his tor ture. 'She must know,' he answered 'I am ready, Barbara, to fulfill my bond. Let there be n o further delay.' 'Will you not, then, plead th at I asked ooly -the pound of flesh, without a drop of blood, and that your life must pay the forfeit 1 demand ?' 'What can you mean ?' he asked;' in a ben ildered way. 'Onr-y' she said, 'that~ 1 plead my cause for yours. Release me, Arthur. I find I cannot marry you.' Five minutes ago she would have thought herself incapable of the sacrifice ; yet here she stood. quiet and calm, giving no Out ward sign of the inward whirl pool, nor the torture that wrung her as she watched the weight lift from his soul at her wvords. 'You no longer love me?' he questioned. 'I am growing old,' with a mocking laugh ; aed in his blind ness he accepted her words as de nial, and went forth content, lit tle dreaming of the sacrifice the mother had made for her daugh ter's happiness. A little later he came to her, Dor-a blushing, radiant with hap piness, by his side. 'Will you give her to me ?' he asked. 'I loved her, Barbara, be Cause Ehe was your second self!' The way to gain a good reputa tion is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear. The young man w bo bets on his watch as a time keeper is staking notes on time. Hope! fortune's cheating lottery; when for one prize an hundred blanks there be ! If you would not have affliction to visit you twice, listen at once to what it teaches. R GRANT'S GREATEST BLUN- to DER. PC IL Scorching Comment from the New York N Herald. C( Alluding to the recently published a ntervicw with Grant, in which the ,x-President attacks Gen. Hancock, se he New York Herald of Thursday, n a leading editorial, says :t It will not raise Gen. Grant in the dc he esteem even of Republicans to see it im descending to abuse of a fellow- gi oldier, one whose gallantry and de 7otion to the Union he had on pre- ri iious occasions freely and of his own t notion acknowledged, and in whom, ndeed, he had expressed the most en ire confidence. To say now, in the ieat and excitement of a political can- ti rass, that the Democratic candidate is ain, that he is ambitious of the Pres- vi dency, that he is a petty character, ar >nly brings to everybody's recollection re hat in his cooler moments and be- ti ore he was moved by what will be ca generally esteemed partisan rancor, General Grant said : "There are men in that organization (the Democratic t to party,) men like Bayard, McClellan, Hancock and others whom I know. They are a loyal and patrioti. as any C men. Bayard, for instance, would make a splendid President. I would cl not be afraid of the others in that of fice." Recalling this language we may pass over what the General now says of his fellow soldier as an ebullition of 0 partisan spleen, which, as it is un- N worthy of him, the public ought to overlook and forget. It has no weight t nor any importance except as it raises a regret in generous minds to see so eminent a man so forget himself. But there is other matter in the r conversation which, now that it is au- te thenticated by its author, becomes 'f importance, and, as it will be generally tl discussed, forces itself upon the atten tion of the people. "What if Han cock should be elected ?" Grant's in terlocutor asked, and the General made a reply which appears to us to show that he only dimly comprehends the guard which our Constitution n happily places over the general safety, t and particularly over the rights of mi norities. He said : "Then the North would submit n quietly and watch closely. As soon c as things began to go wrong every F Northern Legislature would be con- ~ vened and! compel their Representa tives to resign or resist the Solid South." Surely he here totally forgot him self. If Gen. Hancock is elected it will be necessarily by Northern as well as Southern electoral votes ; it; will be by the defeat at the polls, not of "The North," but of the Republh can party ; and how far that is from t being "The North," the General would see if he would recall that in 1876 the Democrats in the Northern States cast a vote so great.-that in New York they had a majority ; in Illinois they lacked less than twenty thousand of casting as many votes as the Republicans, and a change of ten thousand votes would have given them the State; in Ohio they wanted only three or four thousand of carrying the State, and so on in other Northern States, in the most of which there are nearly as many Democrats as Repub licans, while in at least four there were then more. To talk, therefore, of "The North" as assuming an atti tude of resistance, or of calling Leg-. islatures together is, to speak mildly, language which we sincerely regret to see so eminent a man allowing himself to use. If Gen. Hancock should be elected undoubtedly "The North" will "sub. mit quietly." Why~ - South and North both submittea quietly when Mr.' Hayes, whom not merely the South, but almost the whole North did not believe elected, was placed in 1 the executive chair by an arbitration. If C o. Hancock should be elected the, Republicans would "watch closely," to use Gen. Grant's phrase; they would be on the alert to take advan tag of every blunder, small or great, made by Hancock and his party, and, in this they would act properly and within their rights. It is in this way the minority in a free country be comes or tries to become the majority -by "watching closely" the acts of: the majority, and exposing theirt wrng-ding to the people. Tt is this( LIIUU LUZ AJfULJVVLaLO UCV% 16AVLif, CDU%A ey are now exposing the acts of the epublicans, and by this means hope persuade the people to put them in wer. But what talk is this of convening rthern Legislatures and forcing ngressmen to resign ? What con itutional warrani; is there for so wild proposition ? We deeply regret to e Gen. Grant so utterly forget him If, and not only himself, but the ot that we are living under a Con Itution, and that orderly freedom pends upon our observing carefully ; limitations. If the people should ve the Democrats a trial they will t thereby surrender themselves or zhts and their property to them ; in is country, so eminent a public man Gen. Grant ought to remember the ople never give to any party more an it is entirely safe to trust out of eir owu hands. We do not need to opt the wild and revolutionary de ee of calling Legislatures together d forcing members of Congress to sign, because we hold frequent Elee ns, and before any party in power u do serious harm, before, in fact. it n begin to do harm, a new election iables the people to punish them and put the other party in their place. If Gen. Hancock shotild be-elected, erefore, the country, living under a onstitution, will go on safely and renely. The Republicans will "watch osely," their able public men and urnals will raise a vigorous outcry the people on the least sign of Dem. ratic wrong-doing; and as the Dem rats will know themselves to be ac pted like new servants, only on trust, iey will be far more careful than the ,epublicans would be to avoid even ie suspicion of wrongdoing. They ill know that the Republicans might ropose and do many things without mark which would ruin the Demo *ats; hence, as they will desire.to re tin the public favor and confidence mmon sense leads us to expect from iem even a more conservative and tutious policy than the Republican. ould use.

Public opinion, in tha ar, at least, sided with them. O0 nother occasion, when our part: ntered a car, not a seat was avai; ble. One person was guarding onr, othbers one and t wo ; the 'aisl as uncomfortably crowded. "Thi; ay," said the conductor, "roor u the palace car for those wh< .re standing."

When a little lad or girl is constantly snuffling and the nostrils are fall of offensive snot, it is a certain indication that he or she needs more clothing. We have in mind several boys who were often reproached by the vex ing appellation of "snot nose,"-be cause their bodies and limbs were so thinly clad that they contracted cold so frcquently that offensive mucus was almost always running from the nostrils. Young children are exceedingly sensitive to cold weather.Their little,tender fingers, delicate toss and thin skin cannot resist the cold like adults, whose bodies are covered with a thick layer of fat, and whose skin is in ured to sudden transitions of temperature. It is of eminent importance that the extremeties -the feet and hands-of young children, be clothed with flannel or woollen garments or with fur, that every part may be kept com fortably warm. A noted writer in the Medical Journal says, con cerning this subject: We serious ly think that-many lives are eac rificed to ignorance and-erroneods ideas. Among the poor the scant iness of children's clothing is quite remarkable. Winter and summer are not distinguished by any change of dress; short sleeves, bare necks and legs are not the exception, they are the rule ; cot ton or thin stuffs are not changed for woollen or flannel, and so on in all other respects; beyond a shawl or some- such addition, there is very little difference between thei.r clothing in summer and winter. Yet this system is not the result of carelessness. It has become. a custom, which has many sup porters. It does not occur.vto most people that the air inside their houses, if they are properly - ventilated, is as pure as the air outside. We should say that no child too young to walk or run should be taken out when the ex r ternal temperature is below fifty degrees; that the rooms in. which they live and sleep should never be below fifty-eight degrees; and the day room should be three or four degrees warmer. We would rearnestly appeal to mothers to put -aside all feelings of vanity, or what is sometimes miscalled natu ral pride, and cover the -arms, neck and legs of their children as a simplo sanitary precaution. High frocks, long sleeves and warm -stockings should be worn out of doors. Hats should cover the head, and boots are important to keep the feet as dry and warm-as rpossible. On coming in from our streets, nearly always damp, both boots and stockings should be Schanged- If the feet be cold, a. -warm foot bath should be used for a few minutes. The exquisite pain rof chilblains could be- saved to ma*ny children by this use of hot water for hands and feet. We see that flannel has yielded to merino, chiefly on account of the greater Sconvenience of ready-made uander clothing but there is nothing equal to fiannel in the property of preserving warmth. - We talk of acquiring a habit ; we should rather say being ac -quired by it. Habit is the jani zary power in man; passion and Iprinciple the antagonist reveinu Stionary powers, for evil and for food. At forty years of age a man Slooks back over his life, and won "ders what he did it for, and then Sturns wistfully towards the future, Sand keeps on doing the same thing.
