LOYERS BELIEF?
* I believe if I should die,
And jrou should kb? my eyelids ?. hot: I ?lo
Cold, deni, and numb to all the W/r3d contains,
Tbs tmrf orbs vrould ot>en at '.hy tn .?th.
And from tu exile in the ultl't 01 neath
Lire would com* gladly beck ?'.ong my veins.
I believe if ? wore dead
And you upon my lifeless heart should tread,
Not knowing what the poor ctcd ohtneed to be.
It would OM sudden pulse beneath the touch
Of btux lt cm 2 i?vcl In Ufv so muc'n.
And throb again, wann, tend ?, true to thee.
I believe If on my KT???,
Hidden In woody deeps, or by the wave,
Your eye? should drop som i warnt !c*rs of regret,
From every salty tied of your dear grief
Home fair sweet blossom would les? into leaf,
To provo death could sot make my love forget.
I believe If 1 should fado
Into t?oso mystic realms where light ls made,
And you should long once moro a; faze to see,
I would come iortn upon the hills of night,
And gather stain like Cuanta. UU thy sight,
Lcd by the beacon blaze, fell full on me !
I bellera who ?a? not loved
Hath bau* the treasure of his Ufo unproved ;
I.llrn ?no who with the grape within bu grasp.
Drops it- with all Us critnfon Juice unpressed,
And all lu luclous sweetness toft unguessed,
Out from his careless and auhecdln? clasp.
I believe love, pure and true,
la to the soul n street, Immortal dew
That gems life's petals tn l's hours of dusk ;
The walting tingelt se? i.?id rceognlso
The rich crowu Jewel, love of Paradise,
When life fails from us like a withered hunk.
WHAT HE EXPECTS.

To Itnish down the cobwebs and swe^p up ber

Can make decent bread that a fellow can cat,
Not tho horrible compound you everywhere meet ;
Who knows how to boll, to fry, and to roast.
Make a good cop of tea and a platter of toar. ;
A woman that washrs. cooks, Irons and stitches,
And sews un tho r!;w in a fellow's old ctotncii,
And makes ne. owe garments-an item, too, wi-'.ch

Ho horrid expensive, as every one knows ;
A common sense creature, and still with a mind
To teach and to guide-exalted, refined :
A sort of an angel and housemaid combined.
SAVED BY A SACRIFICE.
Just twenty yearn ago to-day nineo
Tom .inked me to become hie wife. Ab,
how well do I remember that happy
lime ! We were Bitting, ho and I, in the
arbor, amid tho rosea mid purple grapes.
Tom was handsome then (you would
scarcely think it now) and I loved bim ;
but an he asked me in that sweet, thrill
ing voice to give my hand and heart to
him, I felt nn anac-uratnble thrill of I
horror run through in/ frame.
"I cannot, oh, I cannot, Tom !" I cried.
"I may be foolish and superstitious, but
I must never marry, for if I do I shall
mont certainly bo tho wife of a drunkard."
"What nonsense ia this, Mary ?" said
he. "Have you ever seen me in bad
company, that you think I would be led
astray ? For you know that I havo been
strictly temperate since you have known
me."
"Yes, yes, I know you arc all I could
desire my husband to be; but I am nure
if I marry, no matter whom, misery fol
lows, for there is a curse resting upon me.
Listen while I tell you what I mean :
''Three years ago, before my father
died, he and I belonged to the tempe
rance order heie/and bc was tho presid
ing officer. Weil, ono night wo were to
try a member for violating the pledge ;
tho case waa a very aggravated one, aa?j
this was tho fourth offense, nnd ho bad
boasted that it made no difference bow
often ho drunk, as the lodge would cover
expel him, asa ho would be reinstated at j
the nest meeting with nothing moro than
a reprimand. These reports reached
father'ii earn, and mada bim very angry.
'The commltee made their report, and
all were in favor of expulsion, until the
Koor wife arose, and in piteous words
egged us to give bim one moro trial.
Vv lien the votes wera east for suspension
or ex pul;! o u it waa found to be a tie. In
that case tho chairman casta tho decisive
ballot, and father decided be should be
expelled, '. For a moment silence reigned ;
then tho wife of the disgraced man arose,
and raising- ber band toward heaven,
cried, ia a sharp, uh rill voice :
"May the curse of God rest upon you
and yours, Mr. Weston I May your
daughter suffer aa I suffer I May her
husband be a drunkard 1"
She then hurried from tho room, while
I shook as with the aguo.
"Torn,, dear Toro, I cannot got rid of I
tho conviction that I am to kuow fret:
experience just what that woman suffered,
and I am sure it would kill me to be a
drunkard's wife."
"My darling." whispered be, "you
need fear nothing, for I swear by rill I
. hold sacred, by tho memory of my angel
mother, and by the hope inst God will
bless our union, never, no nover, to toucU
any kind of intoxicating liquors. Will
that satisfy you. Mary? You know I
am.not an intemperate mon, and sure*/,
with yon for my wife, thorp would be no
dnuger of my falling. ? moat say I think
you' aro a very foolish little girl to heed
tho v cvings of an angry woman ; never
theless* X promise there shall never be
the ?host ora chance for tho curse to de
scend."
Of course I accepted him, not even
asking him .what his post life had been.
He told m,c its had belonged to the army,
:nndhn.,?fton amused mel>y relating in
Mde?*s;of his travels; but further than
mt ?* know nothing. My parents were
both .dead, and I was alone, with no ono
'to'Advise me; but, for that matter, all
seemed to think I was doing remarkably
weli, for Tom waa a gcneral favorito.
.80 wb were married, and commenced
housekeeping at once lu a oozy little cot
tage, ?a t&o outsort* of the town. Ob;
baw perfectly happy we were ! My hus^
band was sober, ?sdaatr?oua and affec
tionate,, -while 1' did all in ray power to
make our home an Eilen.
- I hare often thought I waa too happy,
if each a thing is paisible ; at any rate,
my happiness w*a of short duration.
Wo pad been married fivo months
whee, one evening at a .party, I noticed
that Tom acted strangely; he appeared
reckless, his laugh was loud and boiste
rous, and ho shunned, ms. At length
some friends whispered that I would do
welt to get him home, aa ho was drinking
very freely.
Fdr a moment I gated in wonder;
their words had. no meaning for me ;
thoo the,awful truth burst upon mo tbs*
Tom heil fallen, and I moaned in agony.
"The curso ia upon mot Oh, Father
in heaven, why should I have to bear
thia burden ? Ob, I pray thee, let me L
di? i? i
I persuaded bim to take mo away,
pleading that I was hot well, aud my
wWte,.terror-stricken ??0 alarmed him
eo much that he made alt haste to get me
home.
There were many days of sorrow ana
nights of silent - waiting after ihdt. Ho
would promise to reform,, ?:A at first I
believed him ; but the voir once broken
could not be mended, and I a mn found
there WAS no hope. I was a drunkard's
wife, and .such 2 must be aa long aa we

I expected. I had five ehii?rou.
Charley, a fine, handsome boy o? wen;
then my twins. Flora and Clara of five,
next Frankie of three, and an infa&t.
My girls used often to go for their
papa when I feared he would visit the
saloon. The children all loved bim, for
when not under the influence of liquor he
was a kind father, and they wero anxious
to keep bim at home as much as his work
would allow.
One evening Flora and Clam went
forth on their usual errand. They were
beautiful children, with clear blue eyes
in which you could read their souls, long,
golden curls, dainty feature?, and fair
transparent complexions. I called them
my "twin emblems of purity," and it was
a lit simile.
Ah, how plainly c*n I soe them now.
as they kissed their hands to mo, and
told me not to fear, for they would see
that napa came homo safe. Why was it
I whined to call them back-that I felt as
though a beavy load wero pressing upon
i my. heart-as though what had been
bright and beautiful now looked dark
and chill 7 Do coming events cast their
shadows before?
When nest I saw my darlings they
were lying still and. cold upon the green
riverbank. Dead? Yes, dead, drowned I
Tho jewels of my heart, that I had prised
so highly, the two pure white buds that I
had watched and nursed with such care,
and held far dearer than my life, my
precious little girls, wore dead, drowned
in that cruel, cold river.
Their father hpd left his work quite
early to go to the saloon, and by the time
they arrived ho was intoxicated. They
coaxed him to come home, hut wero
adinmed to go through town with him, so
they went around, where the river was
crossed by a foot-bridge. When on the
narrow bridge ho suddenly reeled, and.
ero the children kuow tho danger, all
three wero in the water. He got out in
safety, but my little girls wero drowned.
Oh. bow 1 grieved for my lust ones I
And it was then, in my hour.if affliction,
that I felt the kindness of my neighbors,
for all, both old and young, tried to show
the sympathy they felt.
The words of ono old lady, in partic
ular, rise in my memory :
"My poor Mary;" said she, when I wa*
refusing to be comforted, and rebelling
against the will of Qod, "you think it
hard that your beautiful children should
bo taken. Do you net know if you were
in a garden or flowers you would pick
only the rarest and loveliest 7 And sure
ly tho Angel of Denth will do tho same

that they might never know the sorrow!
?.oil have endured for eight years ? Ane1
tow could they be aparcd that anguist
more surely tuan by lying at they an
now ? It is all for thc best, poo., ntnckct
mother !"
But I could not fee! it was better mj
darlings should bo \yiv7, there in on<
coffin, with their waxen hands folded 01
their bosoms, holding sonic pure whiti
blossoms, and their happy hearts stille?
forever. And when the edd clods fel
upon the coffin with that hi d, dull thud
I shrieked aloud in my agony, and wa
carried fainting from the graveyard.
It was many days bet?re I a woko t
consciousness, for i was very ill witl
brain-fever ; but while 1 lay there, care*
for kindly by ray husband and the neigh
bora, my two little boys were neglected
and ere I was ablo to sit up they wer
laid beside their sisters ; so Charley wo
all I had left.
But I did not feel the loss ot tho babic
ss I did the twins, partly because I wa
too weak to realize the blow, and becaus
I was watching tho change in my hui
band. He felt that the loss of tho fou
children rested upon himself, for wero i
not that ho was intoxicated that evening
they would not have died.
He therefore made another vow not t
drink, joined the temperance order, qui
ted his old habits, and waa in nil rospec
like the Tom of olden times. And I wi
so full of thar kfulncss that there wes n
room for grief.
This happened twelvo years ago, an
the second vow romains unbroken. W
were very poor then, depending np?i m
needle, ana what little work Tom did A
pur bread. Now we have a ploasai
bofue, ?vi &?8*ly a? poeaiblo like the co
tego of our yc?og married lifo. Tom hi
a lucrative.BL?;jtaw, and in all respec
is doing well: But, what .is better stil
our boy gives promise of becoming
i good and useful man, and what motin
could ask more?
We mourn for our lost children, bi
have learned from experience that it wi
all for the best; they are spared tl
trouble", of a life on earth, and they ha\
i saved t^eir father. I am contented an
happy, for though th? day dawned j
tears it is eadingln smiles.

Maxi n lo Bi?ldente.
At a feast given by the Grand Lodge
of Massachusetts, Bev. Bro. Youug, the
Grand Chapista, related the following
incidents, and made the following excel?
lent commenta thereon : ?
The other evening, on a certain occa
sion. I alluded to the influence of Mason
ry during tho rebellion. Since then I
heard a story from one who was in the
war, wbicb beautifully illustrated the
influence of Masonry in the direction of
love and fraternity. In one of the bat
tles of Virginia, Gan. Woodsworth-I
think tbs.t is the name-of Vermont, fell,
and was within the enemy's lines. /Iis
friends wished to obtain it, and a Federal
officer, who was a Mason, said to the sen
tinel, who was also a Mason, "you go
down to tho shore of tho stream, and if
you see a man on the other aide, make
some sigpal to bim of a Masonic charac
ter." He weut down to tho shore, and
by and by be saw a person on the oppo
site aide. He gare the signal, but no
answer was returned. The next morn
ing when be went down he repeated the
i practice with tho same result ; no answer
was given. Finally tbe officer went down
and made ?orno signals, and he soon
found tbem answered on the opposite
side. In the course of the day commu
nication waa bad, the body waa given into
the hands of its friends, and enrriod
home for interment. The Confederate
officer, in his communication with the
Federal officer, said that the ceutinel on
the other side did not know what those
signals meant.
Now, it is just that brethren. Tho
world laugh* at our signs, and calle them
nonsense. Hut their object is to touch
the secret springs through which wo aro
brought into close and intimate connec
tion with others, and are enabled, as in
the case illustrated to close a bloody
chasm, and bring enemies into the rela
tion of friends.
And BO in the Beeret character of our
organization. Why, ali the grand forces
of nature arc secret. God himself is a
great secret; a ?rent mystery; tho eye
does not look upon him, thc ear docs not
hear bim, tho band cannot touch him,
and yet we believe in his boundless love
and wisdom, and power, and we worship
that Great Unseen and Invisible One
Life is secret and invisible. Thc surgeon
the dissector, cnn cut the body and la;
open its parts ; but ho caunot lay hu
knife upon the secret lifo and expose il
to the eye. Tho air is Invisible. W<
ouly feel it on our cheeks ; we hear ?ti
music in the forests. Electricity ia in
visible. All the secret powens and force
that move the world and huid system!
together are unseeu nnd aeon \ eludi?;
tbe eye and hand. So it is in this gram
Institution of oura, which I believe wi
cannot too much praise and too mue)
love, brethren, nor too much honor ii
our own manly characters, iu our owi
upright lives, and in our loving disposi
lions. It is that very characteristic o
Masonry which gives it the power thoth
to-day, in a hundred thousand ways tho
wo don't see, moving tho world onward
and lifting it ap nearer to tbe skies, an
preaching tbat love and brotherly kind
ness which shall make the earth wo liv
on Uko heavci to aspire to.
On the samo occasion Bro. Swain, th
S. G. Warden of Massachusetts, relate
the following incidents. Although tinge
with party o? sectional feeling, and som?
what overdrawn we publish them :

Tho result was that he soon had i
under current working that supplied ti
hospital with delicacies and other thin
which every other hospital failed io i
ceive. ' Aon that is what made me a M
son. I had thought many times befo
that i* must be a good organization, b
I WM busy and refrained making apo
cation. But I said then, "If thero u
power in Masonry that makes men brot

Post Hortera LOTT,
Why ia it thr-t so many people keep all
their pleasant thoughts ooo kiud word?
about a mad-bottled and sealed upWnUl,
he is dead, whoo they come .aaa afaik
th? bottle Over hi? coffin and balbi bis
shroud in fragrance ?. Many a mangoes
through lifo with scarcely ono bright,
cheering, encouraging, helpful word.
Ho toi In hard and in lowly obscurity.
He gives out bis life freely and unstinted
ly for others. I remember such a man.
Ho was not brilliant ; ho was not great ;
but be waa faithful. H? b?d many
things to discourage him. Tiuubles
thickened about his life. He was mis
represented and mUundemtood. Every
body believed that he waa a good man,
but no one ever said . kindly pr pleasant
thing to bim. He never neara a Com
pliment, scarcely over a good wish, j No j J
one ever took any pains to encourage
him, to strengthen his feeble knees, to '
lighten h'u burdens, or to lift up bk
heart by a gentle deed of love or a cheer
ful word. He was neglected. Unkind
things wort? often said cf bim.
I stood by bis coffin, and there were
many tent nea to speak his praise. 'Diere
was not a breath of aspiration in the air.
P?en spoke of self-denials, of his g.?od
qualifie* of bis quietness, bis modesty,
his lunn .itv, bis presence of heart, bia
faith and prayer. There were many who
spoke indignantly of the charges that
falsehood had forged against him iu the
past years, und ot tho treatment be bad
received. There were enough kind
things said during th* two or three days
that nc lay i. th J coffin, and while tuc
company stood around his open grave, to
have blessed him and made him happy all
his fifty years, and to have thrown sweet
ness and joy about his soul during all his
painful ami weary journey. Hut ni? cara
were clo.sd then, and could not hear a
word that waa spoken. His heart Waa
still then, und could not be thrilled by
the grateful .sound". Ho cared nothing
then for the sweet fi o WP rs that were piled
upon his coffin. The Jove blossomed out
too late. Tho kindness came when the
life could not receive its blessing.
And I said then that I would not keep
all my Hud words, and all my pleasant
thoughts and feelings, about my neigh
bor, locked up in my breast till he is
dead. They will do him no good then.
His dead hand cannot feel tho warm
pressure. Gentle words will not make
Iiis pale, cold face glow. It will be too
Into, when ho lien in tbe coffin, to seek to
mnke bim happy, to lift the shadows off
his life, or to brighten his path.
It costa but little to give mon a great
deal of joy and help. One brought a
bunch of flowers to my table, and for a
whole week they filled my room with
fragrance. Ono wrote mo a cheering
lotter, breathing a spirit of gratitude and
love. It came when I was weary and
depressed, and was like the meal pre
fared by the angel for the old prophet,
went on its blessed strength for many
days. One met me on thc street and
spoke an encouraging word and grasped
me warmly by the hand ; and for noun I
felt that warm grasp and heard that word
echoing through my soul. A little child
may brighten scores of lives eery day.
Thore is not ono of its who may not
gladden and strengthen many a heart be
tween every rising and setting sun. Why
should we not live to bless the living, to
cheer tho disheartened, to sweeten cups
that are bitter, to bold up the hands that
bang down, to comfort those that mourn,
to bear joy into joyless homes ? Kind
words will not spoil a man. if a sermon
heips you it will do tho preacher no barm
to tell him so. If the .editor writes an
?rdele that docs you good, ho caa write a
ni ill better ono if you rend bim a word of
thanks. If a book . Oleases you, do you
not owe it to the author to write a grate
ful acknowledgement t If you know a
weary or neglected one, would it not be

SOWING GRASS SEEP.-Tho following
directions for sowing grass seeds will' be
found useful at the present timer -In
Bowing we advise, for'obvious rearons,
that the soil should be clean, in good
condition-the surface made level and
firm and perfectly pulverised by harrowing
and rolling. A calm Bt0l day, when rain
is approaching, is most suitable for tho
work. . After sowing, tbe surface should
bo only lightly harrowed and rolled. . A
firm seed bed and a depth of coveri?g. bf
a quarter to half an i nen is meet favora
ble for the vegetation of small seeds. If
covered deeply they d6., not grow at all,
or in very small proportions ; if notcov-,
ered, manv of the reed? are picked up? by
email birds, and the vegetation of those
that escape depends upon their being
washed into the soil by rain. Young
grasses are injured by frost. The proper
season, therefore, extends from March to
September: tbe spring months are prefer
able. If tue land works unkindly, seeds
will not vegetate well, and a larger quan
tity must bo sown to obtaiu a plant.
Gross seeds may be sown with or upon
land already planted with wheat; barley
or oats, as a regular .ciop, .with every
chanco of success-except In cases where
the cereal crops are over abundant and
lodged. When sown without a crop-for
the safe protection of the Suer grasses'
and to increase tho produce'of the first
year, it ia advisable to ?.dd to tho quantity
cf rye grass, cowa, and also-a bushel or!
oats cr barley per acre. T.

A Philosopher's Defeat.
"The trial and imprison ruent of Galileo
form the final scene lu the death of the
italian intellect. me meei eminent,
geni na of bia country, if not of bia age,
Almost the founder of modern science,
tho peer and contemporary ? of t?hake
ipcare, Bacon, Milton, the successor pf
Michnel Angelo, had Galileo obta. ledan
utterance in Italy for scientific truth, the
jpe'l that rested, upon her might hare
been broken. There might have bloomed
ance more a literature touched by the
free spirit of Dante, a political progress
that would have reflected the Puritanic
revolutions of the North. But with Ga
lileo fell the independence of Italian
thought. His abjuration is the baddest
picture in modern intellectual l r tory.
Uenac'ous of thc truth, he was condomea
Lo renounce it and repeal a falsehood.
The Newton, tho Herschel of his age, be
was forced to abjure the favorite ?tudies
of his life, and pause forever In that path
it scientific discovery which had already
made Italy famous, All the world wit
nessed his fall, and he whose eye had first
pierced the mysterious vault above, who
of all hbi race had first brought back
tidings of new 6uns and planets in its
lublime abyss, yielded to tho terrors of
torture, tho fear of death ; and sacrificed
the integrity of his soul to the menaces
of the Church. With malignant joy the
Jesuits *aw the last croat italian perish
iv i th in their toils, and were perhaps'satis
lied with the humiliation of Galileo."
"When, at the cloeo of his splendid
career, covered with renown, yet shut up
f- his villa at Arcctri, tho prisoner of the
Inquisition, watched by envious eves,
threatened, should he murmur or rebel,
with the most dreadful punishment of j
thc church, Galileo sick and worn with
age and sorrow, lamented in letters to his
friends that he had ever ventured upon
those fatal studies which had served only
to bring upon him persecution and shame,
a fair-haired, blue eyed poet from the
cloudy North, who was just entering with
an equal ardor upon the search for truth,
visited tho brightest skies of Florence,
Baw with astonishment the imprisonment
of its greatest genius, and heard, perhaps,
from his own hps thc unmerited sorrows
that had fallen upon his later years. It
was Milton lamenting for Galileo. In
the cultivated society of Florence tho
young English scholar must often have
remembered the lonely prisoner who,
shut out from ali the pleasures of intel
lectual intercourse, was confined in the
distant villa. Milton nt Florence wrote
verses, was complimented in graceful
stanzas, and was not slow to return the
elegant adulation. Yet with all the
more intelligent Fiorentines he saw typi
fied in the fate of Galileo the quick ex
tinction of Italian letters. In his defense
of the freedom of the press, ho relates to
tho English public how a severe Inquisi
tion bad checked at Florence all mental
progress, how the accomplished Floren
tines lamented that they had not been
born in a land like England, where
learning was free, how nothing was now
written in Italy but 'flattery and fustian.'
'There,' he adds, 'it was that I found and
visited the famous Galileo, grown old, a
prisoner to the Inquisition.' The specta
cle of the great philosopher, silenced,
terrified, contemned, never passed from
his mind. In his youth he had lamented
over him tenderly. In manhood, when a
mental tyranny like that which hung
over Italy seemed about to envelop all
England, and a persecuting Church and
a despotic king had nearly subdued its
virtue, Milton, instructed by the fate of
Italian thought, led on the defenders of
freedom. And when, in his old age, blind
and forsaken like Galileo, he poured
forth in sonorous strains, the treasures of
a life of study, one ol his most splendid
similes, one of his most touching allu
sions, is when he paints the '.rascan artist
on the height of Fiesole, and makes the
chief glory of science lend aid to the im
mortal grandeur of hi? song."
