THE WIFE.
She who sleeps upon toy heart
Was the fitst to win it;
.. She who dreams upon my breast
Ever reigns witnin it.
She who kisses oft my lip*.
Wakes their warmest blessings ;
She wl o rests within my arms
Feels the closest pressing.
Other days than these shall come ;
Days that may be dreary?
Other hours shall* greet us yet.
Hours that may be weary ;
Still this heart shall be thy throne,
This brea9t shall be thy pillow ;
Still these lips shall meet thy own,
As billow meeteth billow.

Since thy lore ha* wen it;
Dream, then, on ray loyal breast,
None but thou has done it;
And when age our bloom shall change
With its wintry weather.
May we, in the salf/ame grave,
Sleep and dream together.

Mr. Meredith, a tail, noble featured
man oi fifty, looked iatlier sadly at his
enthusiastic young nephew-.
'Fancy, uncle f That is hardly an appropriate
word to use. I am quite cer
tain of the fact.'
'I suppose you will eon^dcr in.) a

there is more real stamina in llnth Duel
than in her pretty cousin Kiohul.'
'There, sir,'answered Harry, resolutely,
'is"where I must bqg leave to differ)
With you.' * i
Well, my boy, you ipust choose for1
yourself- Remember, it is uo question
. of a partner for a waltz, or a pair of
. bright eye* whose glitter is to auiu^i
you for one or two evenings. The woman
whotB you now select for your wife
must necessarily exert a more or less
potent influence over your whole life.'

During the three months" which had
followed upon his first introduction,
Harry Meredith had contrived to ace

consequently fell in'luve with the gold-1

Sometimes he was almost tempted to
mfer in hjs alliance toward the elder,
and then betook himself with very uunecessary
sternness to task.
To-night, however,, he passed the
whole ot the last few weeks in revirw
before his memory, and decide that inaction
was the very worst policy in the
world.
"This suspense must he put to an
cudejaculated our hero half aloud,
and then he smiled mischievously to
himself, as an idea came into his head.
"I'll do it," he thought, biting his
lip. Of course it's merely for the fun
of tht^thiog. I have not the shadow of
a doubt that she is all she secuis, but
till?"
, He was silent for a few minutes, and
then rose to prepare for slumber.
' They arc polite enough to me as the
favored child of luxury. Now I will
take measures to learn whether this
eourtcsy is genuinely from the heart, or
merely barn of empty form and. adula*iAn
trt irfnlth."
So our hero, laying his head on his
pillow, dreamed of private inasqurudc
parties all night long.
Rachel Duer and her cousin Ruth
NWcre shop-girls in Savery & St. Clair's
gr/aatfuney store.
? 0, dear !' sighed Rachel, one morning
as'*h? took off her bonnet iu the
little di ^""tg-room at the back of the
tore and *h?ok down her golden shower
of otifls, '"bow (jred I am of this hur
rid drtagcry. Jfov I wish Harry
Meredith would propose if he is going
to."
Ruth laughed as she smoothed down
her satin-brown hair, and tied the bow
of crimson at her throat.
"And what do you think of me.Rachel
? I, who have no such brilliant hopes
of matrimony to light up the monotony
of my daily toil!'
Rtcbel drugged her shoulders.
. "I don't soc now you bear it so patiently.
I shotfld have died with vexation
and ennui if f did not hope for
joaaething better."
"Hush !"k*aid Ruth, 'there is Mrs.
Wickes, the for>woman calling us.
"How I hate the old vixen !" llachel
ejaculated, slowly following Ruth into
the store.
"Really, Miss Rachol Duer, you must
be a little more punctual." said Mrs.
WJckes, pursiag up her mouth primly.

Vol. XXXV?No. 31. | 1
' Von are full five minutes behind time, j
and it was just so yesterday,"
Rachel pouted, and went to work la- j
belling a box of newly-arrived ribbous. !
She and Mrs. Wickcs had never agreed
very haroioiiiou.-ly, nor did?ghc affiliate
with tlie shop girls. "A stuck up, impertinent
thif!jr," they called her ; whiie
sh-'. from the serene heights of the possibility
of her one day becoming Mrs.
Harry Meredith, trAted tl.cni Vith disdain,
which was anything in the world
but agreeable.
In vain \;vro- Ruth's remonstrances.
Rachel had always been willful and in*
clft.ed to superciliousness, nor would
she listen to hoi cousin's mildly proffered
advice tiutv.
' It's all very well for you, Ruth ;
you've got to spend ail your days, but,"
she saiil^ curling her pretty lips ; "but
I shall s -on be lilted out of this groveling
atmosphere. '
'It is by no means a certainty."
"Yes," laughingly answered Rachel,
blushing like a Uainask toso.
And Kuth would sigh softly, and j
think how brightly the future w^is un* i
rolling its vast u.ap before her pretty j
oousia.
XL tclie 1 Duer waited rather languidly j
upon one or two customers that morning
Evident!y her heart was not in the
work, and Mrs. V.'icks, l'rotn her lurking |
place behind the cash box, cast several
envoaonied fauces at fcer, premouitory
of a coming sto; 111.
Preseutly a new customer hobbled in.
beut and crooked, and made his way directly
to the counter where Kachd and
Kuth were standing. A huge cotton
umbrella protruded in a warlike manner
from b*ueuth his arm, and mended cotton
gloves covered his hands, whn^n
rusty red wig was half concoa cd^fy his
bent and battered hat.

ILiehel. in a very audible

'Ruth, you uro too absurd for anything.
I won't wait on him.'
'Hot 1 lie joliJ win steered resolutely
for Uathel herself. 'I

'Youd bettor go somewhere else,'

'Please let me see the articles.'
Rachel tossed the box down on'he
couutii; tic: old man bent his spectacled
c C-- down to survey the goods.
'il.iW much lie these ?'
'A dollar a pair.'
'Hut [ am a poor mau, liavg,

"Rachel! li::c!icl ! remonstrated her j
cousin. '"Jat me show you wLat you '
want, sir,'she said,'softly, turnicg to I
the o!J customer. 'We have aoaiC ve- j
ry uice gloves at seventy five cents.'' '
4S;ven?y five cents is a great deal of
mouey to. pay for a pair of gloves," paid
the old man, loflking sorrowfully dowu
on ihe mended fingers he wore, 'hut the
weather is g* tiing frosty, and I am not
so young as I was.
4i should think that was quite evident,
said Rachel, with <>. heartless tit.
ter.
Ruth Lent toward the old man,
saying in a low sweet voice :
'Take the warm worsted gloves, sir.'
The price is scveuty-Uve cents, but y..u
shall have thcin for fifty. 1 myself will
make up the difference to the store.
-Vou are au old gentleman, and I aui
young and able to work.'
Hut I am within** to you, Mi.**.' .
Ruth folded the gloves neatly in a
piece of paper, and handed I beta to
hiui.
For the sate of the dear father who
died a year ago, old ago can .never he
nothing to me, sir. 1'lease don't thank
me; indeed I deserve no gratitude.'
And ituth drew blushingly back,
while Rachel Lm>t 10.0 u laugh.
'Upon my word, Until, you are the
greatest fool I ever saw,' she cried,
while the old gentleman hobbled out of
the store. 'I would have sceli'theold
beggar in dgyi ho before I would have
gfvtli him anything. Vfby vjocsn't lie
go to the poor house?'
The days crept on, and one day Mr,
Henry Meredith astonished little Ruth j
Puer very tunoh by askiug her to to j
his wife.
It was as if the gates o*' I'aiadiso had
.been suddenly opened to her. The!
modest, little girt, secretly worshipping
Harry Meredith in her heart of hearts,
had never dreamed of the possibility of
such good luck being in store for hm.
That evening she told her cousin.
Ruche] listened in silence. The prirc
had I ice 11 wry near her grasp once, but
somehow it had slipped away.
I think yi<ti ni'i-i he mistaken,
she said, aeiimonionsly. 'I think Mr.

Sim cheeked herself, for at that instant

FOR THE YOUNG.
m . i.i
A Word to the Boys.
I wish to say a few words to oar rural
hoys. Boys, i do not propone, in
ihcse tew words to preach a sermon, bat
simply to have i talk with you, and endeavor
to correct sonic orroneoaa ideas
I know to bwentertained in many young
men and boys in our mral districts.
You sometimes thiuk your rolicking
farm life dull, monotonous nod extremely
laborious, and long for a situation as
clerk in some kiud of un establishment
iu the city. If I should tell you that
your life oti the farm is of the two,
much the easier, you would undoubtedly
think it very strange. But I 4I0 say
so, tor such is the case. Could you
but look in upon some of the clerks
employed in many of the dry-goods establishments
inr our cities, and see the
labor performed by them in their daily
rouuds, no words would be needed to
conviuce you of this fact. Your labor 1
is varied^ 'tis walking, riding, driving
and other changes, all of which are al- !
most indispensible to proper muscular
development and gbod health, and very
unlike the closely confined, monotonous '
occupation of daily' standing behind a
counter or sitting at a desk from the <
rising of tho sun till near midnight, ere 1
pour labor is completed and rest comes. 1
But I bear some young man say, "I
will go to the city and make my fortune j
?rise to honor and eloquence, instead 1
of staying hero on the farm and work- 1
ing hard .to make a little." Young !
nan I banish that idea. When you do ,
w&y with such thoughts you will have
aid more certainly the stepping stone
.hat leads to ambition's goal. Do not
liitik because you jrero bora on a farm
hat you surely will not rise to honor
ind independence. ReiAetqber what
Pope says;
'Honor and fame from no * condition rise,
Let well your part,there all the honor lies."
Ah I that's it, '-Act well your part."
^ct it well ou the old farm, and in
imcs like these, when fortune smiles
ne moment and frowns the next, upon
be farm is the place to stay, where yon
