% HAVE HOFE. BY FATI1KU RYAX. The ?ha?lo\v of tho mountain falls athwart the lowly plain, And the shadow of tho cloudlet hangs above the inountnin's head? And tho highest hearts nnd lowest, wear the shadow of some pain, And tho smile is scarcely flitted ore the an guishcd (car is shed. For no eyes have (hero been ever without a weary tear, And that breast cannot bo hutnan that never heaved a sigh ; For without the dreary winter there has never been a year, And Ilie tempests hide their terrors in the calmest summer day. So this dreary life is passing?and we move nmid its maze, And We grope along together, half in darkness, half in light: And our hearts are often hardened by the mysteries of our ways. Which arc never all in shadows aud never wholly bright. And our dim eyes ask a beacon and our weary feet a guide, And Dlir lionvlu of all lifo'a mrainrine ennlr flin meaning and the key ; And a cross gleams o'er our pathway, on it hangs the crucified, And He answers all our ycaruiugs ly the whisper, "Follow Mo." SUMMER'S GOING. Leaves are shrinking on the trees Whore the nests are hidden ; There's n hush among the bees, Now to roam forbidden ; There's the silk of corn that shows Faded tangles blowing? So that everybody knows Darling Summer's going. There's the mist that haunts the night Into morning sailing, Leaving filmy webs of light On the grasses trailing ; There's the tierce red sun that glows, Through the vapor showing ; So that everybody knows Darling Summer's going. There arc insects' wings that gleam, Locusts shrilly calling : There arc silences that seem Into sadness falling ; 'i'liorc is not uuutlicr rose Out the sweet-brier blowing ; So that everybody knows Darling Summer's going. Iircathc but softest little sigh, Child, for vanished roses? For each soason, going by, Something sweet discloses ; And if in your heart has grown Truth to fairer blowing, Summer then will be your own, Spite of Summer's going. DOMESTIC RECIPES.

Marmalade.?Otic peck of f|uiuces and two pucks of apples; paro and stew separately; take a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit. Mix well and cook for ouc hour, stirring all the time. Corn and Tomatoes.?Tf corn is boiled on the cob, and then cut oil' and canned with tomatoes, in the usual manner of canning tomatoes, it will keep well and be an excellent dish, liavc twice as much tomatoes as corn.

Heat up an egg with sugar to taste; add a cup of milk and whatever flavoring liked.

They should not only ' havo the benefit of thorough vcutiiation, ' but they should be whitewashed, and any particle of decaying vegetable matter or other objcctiouablo substance removed.? 1 Scrupulous care in these particulare may 1 prevent sickucss. ' ^ Clouds of Mosquitoks.?Tho other day 1 a group of longshoremen stood on the pier ' in Lewes, Del., waving their hats and hand-, kerchiefs around their heads as though 1 filled with enthusiasm awakened by some 1 cause that was not then appirctit. Hut wheu the passengers in the OK Dominion steamer lauded they began waving hats and ' handkerchiefs vigorously. The cause of these demonstrations was a cloud of mosquitoes. At the railway station in Lewes there wero fires of pennyroyal and othor weeds burning in front of the wiudows to drive out the insects, and the passengers wero glad to get into the smoke and enjoy 1 a i linn mi W v IVnni flm At llchoboth Station, on the Junction una Broakwatcr Railway, the mosquitoes were uioro uuuierous than in Lewes. Tho ucgrocs in the peach orchards had their heads covered with old sheets, with holes cut through lor their eyes. Tho men around tho depot and the passengers in waiting had their heads covered with mosquito nets like veils. It was impossible to purchase a piece of mosquito netting in the neighborhood. While the stages were waiting a mau was stationed at tho head of each horse to hold the nearly frautic animals. At llehoboth Reach the mosquitoes were thicker than at that station. There were at the begiuning of tho week over four hundred guests at the Bright House, and on Friday not tweuty-five rcuiaiucd.? They had been driveu away by the mosquitoes. Persons walking in the streets were nearly obscured by the clouds of mosquitoes around them. By bringing the hands together a handful of mosquitoes could be caught at a single sweep. The ladies' light dresses were almost black, so thickly wore they covered. The hotel proprietors were so pestered by the insects that they seemed not to care whether their guests remained or not. Double nets on the windows and darkened rooms gave partial relief, but the mosquitoes made their way everywhere.? It was only by having a uegro over each person at the tablo that the guests could partake of their meals. * It is said that the winds and muggy weather brought them from the South Jersey and Dalaware swamps, and that the pest would probably be ended with a strong wind from the ocean. Sailors saw ilmi t1i.nr ?? ?? - /-v "j ",v-v the mosquitoes many miles out at sea? something they never before experienced. Nearly all the places nloug tho coast were similarly infested, but none of them to the same extent as the uorthern part of Delaware.?Ar. V. J-Jccnimj Telegram. Listening.?To listen well is a most rare accomplishment. Indeed, it is a thing beyond an accomplishment. It takes a great man to make a good listener. The ordinary hindrances to good listening are very considerable, such as the desire to talk one's self, tho pronencss to interrupt, the inaccuracy?if one may use such an ex pros- , siou?of most men in listening. i IJut thero is soiucthiug which prevents | good listening in a much more subtle way, , and to a much more dangerous extent, than any of the above named hindrances. It is , this : As soon as you begin to give utterance to some .sentiment or opiniou, narrate some story, declare some fact, you will find that your hearer, iu uinc eases out of ten, strikes at onco a mental attitude in refer- , ence to what you say. lie receives it as a friend, or as a foe, or as a critic, or as an advocate, or as a judge. Now, all these characters uiay nltcrward I?o fairly takcu up; but the first thing is to listen, if I may say so, out of character?to be a bona fide listener, and nothing more. This requires some of the simplicity of greatness, it indicates the cxistcucc, too, of that respect which really great men have for other men, and for truth. In short, I maintain that it takas a great uiau to uiake a good listener. IIow to Bf.come Graceful.?Tho Youny Woman's Journal thinks a relined, graceful mauuer can bo acquired by uny woman. It says : "Tho best graco is perfect naturalness. Still, you must study yourself and form your manners by the rule of that art which is but carrying out tho law of nature. But if it is your nature to Hp fltrPVCP nauiiminrr uomn tinnlntimner.uA D ??u.v u.lJ.IVkUI S?[U7, ungraceful attitude, pray help uaturo with a little art. If you aro stout, avoid the smallest chair iu the room, and be suro you sit on it, not to loan back in it with your hands in frout of you just below your waist, especially while the present fashion lasts. If you aro thin, do not carry yoursolf with your chin protuding and your spinal columu curving like the bowl of a spoon. Do not wear flimsy materials made up without a rufllo, or puff, or flounce, to till up the hard outlines of your bad figuro, so cruelly defiucd by tho tightly pulled back draperies. Study the art of dress. Wo once knew a very plain woman who dressed so tastefully that it was an absolute pleasure to look at her. If you have bocn moping until you nro sick with tho thought of vour own boneless ugliness, bo up ami doing. Forget your disappointments, forget tho past and the sneers of your own family over tho mistakes that you navo made." #.

Tho following loiter is addressed to Gcu. Randall L. GibsoD, of Louisiana, to whose :aro Geo. Hood, prhen dying, commoudcd bis orphan child rob : Vew UhIkans, Aug. 30, 1S79. Dear General r- Kuowing your love uud Bstcetn for Gcu. Hood and his family, I thought particulars of the sad evout would not tTo- uninteresting to you. Mrs. Hood, alter her last confinement, was better, aad had an oasier tiuio than ou any former occasion. Friday week, feeling so well, she imprudently took a bath, immediately after she was taken with a chill. I)r. Richardson having left on the 1st of this month, Dr. Remiss was called in. 1 heard him say Mra I I /uwl'a men u-iu tKn iimci utio be had ever seen in hid practice; that there was was not n single symptom of yellow fever, and they did not know that she had it uulil the black vomit appeared. She died at half-past 1) o'clock, 1*. 31., Suuday night, and was buried at 10 o'clock, 3Jouday morning. 1 never iu my life saw a man so completely crushed as Geii. llood was. I was with him 3Ionday morniug till the funeral, lie said he'd rather God should have taken every one of his children in one day than to have lost his wife; that he was completely ruined, and now, without his wife, he had nothing to live for. The precious little lambs who hud gono to bed Sunday night, knowng nothing of their mother's death, began to come in one by ouc, until uiuo came iu, and such a scene 1 never wish to witness ngaiu. After the children left, he said, "3Iajor, I have never had the fever, but if I should have it, and it is God's will, I am ready to go. 1 have requested Col Flowers to take charge of my children and appeal to the Confederate soldiers to support them." lie was taken Tuesday utoruiug at 3 o'clock, auu died Friday morning at ha If-past 3, perfectly in his miud to within ten minutes of his death. At about 2 o'clock he asked the doctor if his time to die was not near ut hand. The doctor said, "Yes, General."? Then a minister was sent for at his request to give him the last communion. As his death was announced aud uo hour fixed for the funeral, very few were present. A detachment of "Continentals" fired a salute over his grave, aud the last sad tribute was paid to our brave, generous aud Christian friend. I hear his house is mortgaged to its full value and ho left but little insurance on his life, not being able to keep up his policies, lie told me his book was finished, aud ho was just about starting to Philadelphia to uiake arrangements lor its publication. 1 think it is altogether the saddest death 1 havo ever known. Old Mrs. llcuncu can live but a few months; aud here are eloveu little lambs left fatherless and uothcrless.? Oh, how much better if God iu His providcucc would take them all. Walter V. Coucn. o The Longest Heard.?A citizen of Gaffneys, 13. (J., who saw a statement published some days ago concerning the ina.i in Michigan who has a board seven feet long, comes foiward with a story nimost as good. The proprietor of an extraordinary long hirsute appendage is Mr. A. D. Hay, of that town. Mr. Kay is represented as u very modest, unassuming man, so much so, with a reference to this matter bf heard that cveu his neighbors do not kuow that that he can justly claimsueh distinction. Ills beard measures five feet lour inches. 11-ow docs he conceal it.? lie keeps it pi lited, rolled iii oil bilk, and under his shirt collar, with tho upper beard so arranged as to conceal iho plaits. Only a few persons have been permitted to look upon this wonderful heard but our informant once hud that pleasure, and he assures us that it was a wonderful sight to see a man six foot high with heard to his very toes. Ft is his habit to unfurl it every Suuday morning, carefully comb and plait and return it to its nestling placo ? Tho owner of this wonderful beard says lie lias not shaved since the war, ai.d that his beard just keeps on growing.? C'/uirlotte Observer. Thf.
