How calmly pass her quiet days In womanly repose! * As sometimes, by the dusty ways, A stream, half-hidden, flows So softly, that the traveller's ear Scarce hears its fcurrcut bubbling near. Most beautiful, yet never proud ; Holruv.rl vpt never vain: Though courteous to the idle croud, That come ami go again, Yet happiest when her time is spent . * With those she loves iu cairn content. j She knows but little of the art Ily which we learn the right; Her knowledge lielh in the heart. In woman's keen insight; And much she teaches by her looks, That we could never iitni in books. "With patient grace she moves along. Through all her duties: oft Beguiling them with sweetest song. And chastened mirth and sell; And all the day. like some sweet biid. The music of her voice is heard. Long may she live! see clearer still, With every brightening eye, * And learn serenely to fuliill Her woman destiny: And happier, purer grow each day As steals her quiet life away.

I To weary hears?, to mourning homes, , God's meekest angel gently comes; Xo power has he to banish pain. . Or give us baek our lost again. And yet in tenderost love our dear And Heavenly Father sends him here. There's quiet in that angel's glance, ilieres re si m ws siui eoumenaiiee; He mocks no with idle cheer. A or wounds with wonts the r.iortmei'i tar ; Hut ills im?l woes lie in.iy not cure, lie kindly liel|>s us to endure. Angel of Patience! sent to calui Otir feverish hrow with cooling oa'tn; j To lay the storms of hojie and fcifr. And reconcile life's .-mile and tear: j And tlirol'S of wounded pride to still. And make our own our K.ther's will. | r . ' Oil! thou, who mournest on thy way. With longings for tlieelo.se of day. lie walks with thee, that angel kind. And gently whispers. "He resign*, d !" Hear up ! hear on 1 the end shall t-i!. The good Lord ordoreth all things well! r MISC JK L L A N K O U S. yZuiiiii Vci\;on.

Tliis was the exclamation of a stout, hearty, but lazy young man, the other day. Now, suppose you Jiad capital?what would ] you do with it! J.et me tell you, you have | capital. Haven't you got hands and l'eet, and ! body and muscle, and hone and brain?, and : don't you call them capital ? Oh ! but they are not money, say you. But they arc more i titan money. If you will use them they will > make money, and nobody can take them from you. Doit t you know how to use them I If you don't, it is time you were learning. Take hold of the first plough, or hoe, or jack plane, or broad axe that you can find, and go to work. Your capital will soon yield you a large inter: est. Aye, but there's the rub; you don't want i to work, you want money or credit, that you i may play the gentleman and speculate, and end by playing the vagabond ; or, you want a plantation of negroes, that you may hire an overseer to attend to them while you runabout over the country and dissipate and get iu debt; or, you want to marry some very rich girl, who may he foolish enough to take von for your line lollies ami goo.] looks, that she mav sup' port you. Shame upon you, young man! Go to work with the capital you have ; you'll soon make interest upon it, am! with it to give vou as much money as you want, anil make you feel like a man. It you can't make money upon what capital you have, you couldn't make it if you had a million of dollars in money. If vou don't know how to use bone, musele'and brains, you would not know bow to use gold. If vou let the capital you have lie idle and waste and ni>i out, it would be the very .same thing with you if you had gold; you would only know how to waste. Then don't stand about like a great helpless child, waiting for jniebody to come and feed you. but go to work. Take the lirst work you can find, no matter what it is, so that you bo sure to do it like Hilly Gray did his drumming ?well. Yes manage the capital you already have ; you will soon have plenty more to manage : if yo t can't or won't manage the capital God has given you, you will never have any more to manage. Ho you hear! Work for Children. There is 110 greater defect in educating children than neglecting to accustom them to work. It i- an evil that attaches mostly to large towns and cities. Children suffer much from it. The parent never considers whether the child's work is necessary or not to the child. Nothing i.-more uncertain than their future independenceand comfort?much depends 011 being accustomed to w ork?accustomed to provide for the thousand constantlv recurring wants that nature . -i * ' entails on us. If this were not so, still it preserves theinfrom bad habits; it secures their health; it >treicthens both the nfiiul and boilv : it enables them latter l<> Lear the confinement of tho pent-up school room ; and it tends more than anything else to tri\e them just and proper viuw> iilf. It is too often the case that cliildren, provided. thev .-pond half a dozen hours of the day at M.hooi. are permitted to spend the rest as they please. Thus they grow up in the world, without any know ledge of its toils and cares; they view it through a false medium; they aimot appreciate the favors you bestow, as - ' 11 >cl t'> whatever vicious associations aro within their reach. Tiie daughter, probata, becomes that pitiable, helpless object, a novel reading girl. Tho son, it he surmounts the consequences of your neglect, does it probably after his plans and -tatioi. for life aro fixed, and when knowledge,. lor one <>f its important objects, comes, alas! too late. -No ma:: or woman i> fully educated if not a v.Xonnd to useful labor. Whatever accomplishments they po.-sc-s. whatever their mental' training, a deduct ion must he made for ignora .<:? of that im?v.r;a!;t chapter of the world's great book. <i>ri'('!2vilic i'ublisliiug Bloirsc. We learn through the Enterprise that a gentleman of ' !iet:iivil!e proposes to be one of the fifth men to subscribe hco hundred dollars each for the establishment of a common-school bo?>k publishing concern in * oveiiviile.
