%W1AT MATTER.
What matter, friend, though you and I
May sow, and others gather?
We build, and others occupy,
Each laboring for the other.
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?
What matter though our castles fall,
And disappear while building;
rhough strange handwriting on the wall,
Flame out amid the gilding;
rhough every idol of the heart
The hand of death may shatter;
rhough hopes decay and friends depart
If heaven be ours, 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

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.

WOOL.
In numerous instances young
uhildren are clad too thinly in
cold weather for their health and
(comfort. 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.
