So many voices have been hushed, So many songs have ceased for aye. So many hands I need to touch, Are folded over hearts of clay. - - ' The noisy world recedes from me ; I chafe to hear its praise or blame ; The mossy marbles echo back ii o hollow sound of empty fame. - I only know that calm and still They steep beyond life's woe sad wait. Beyond the fleet of sailing cloudi, Beyond the shadow of the vak. ; : ' I only feel that, tired and worn, I halt upen tire highway bare, And gaie ?iib yearning eyes beyond On fields that shine supremely fair. -Philadelphia Record, - A South. Carolina Charity. The House of Best, Charleston, was founded by three ladies of Charleston ^ s ia 1874 for ali women and young ? chSdren, irrespective of creed, who fe; cannot be received and surrounded by good influences elsewhere. It re? ceives applicants from other places if there is room, and the friends of / each one tans admitted pay one hun >. dred dollars a year toward their sup ^1; ? port. -.Uti receives little ^trls and W. young children whose mothers come ta Charleston from ali parts of the State te earn their bread in the Cot? ton Factory or otherwise from home, and also the waif and the children of / ?ck parents, lt is a home for the p\ orphans and half-orphans inadmissible " at the Chatleston Grphauhouee be .ff cause their, parents, who ia some cases were unnaturalised ioreigners, ?ad not resided in the city a year. It ia literacy -a House of.Kest for the ?traeger seeding employment, for the Ul convalescent discharged from the hospital, and for the aged ced? ing care. And it is the only re? formatory in the South for the sinner. At present there are twenty-nice in? mates, including twenty-three ckil 4ren under thirteen years of age, Each inmate is required to do what? ever she can. The children receive L training in househoid wank and sew-. ^"irtgr^r&twn'mGc school educatiou, and ?re? expected to^?m??edior^household ^>pcaitions. The founders a?edev?Tecf" - ?o the work. One of them, who is at : the head of the House, makes it I?er borne from choice, so as to be able to ;grveau* her time to it, and auother ene, who is the secretary and treas '?z-ms?- regularly leaves her home to' 'i ?pend the greater patt of each day -at the. Hos3e engaged in its work. ^SToold that the work wouid 'come ] ?orne to men's business and bosoms.' -Tctfce stranger and traveller, ki .appeals so strongly to a common j 1 humanity as to cause wonder why st ist-not aobly sustained iu ks -native j State despite of . but ?ed hopes and enef-. vated energies/ And to Souther? chivalry it appeals through the ladies whose faith '?bended it and, tit rough fiery trials, sustains ft. The ?pcoj?te of South Carolina are generous, and will surely maintain it with their of ?er?ugs. AU South Carolinians can ?help it ia many acceptable ways. As -^the trimmings of the r>cfi would feed '4fe? ??er/ so the waste of the mill, ?market, garden and store in the Stale *w>ald support this acce* 3ibie charity, j It has probably never occcrrred te ] -the pessesors of gardens and farms j &?w highly donations of fruit and -vegetables would be appreciated by ?tbeinembers of this large, vigorous j family, who like *tite birds without j barns or storehouse are fed/ and A when it is known, will they not often be- glad to send it the apparently j unavoidable waste of the earth's in- j crease 2 The pound of provisions & J mouth which a uaraber bf friends j each contribute, thekind friend's COH ?tanteosntry offering of whatever is relished in her own household, and =the'dollar a month which has reg? tarljrfeeea sent for years by an ?n known friend prove the vaiae to it of i systematic giving. The mites of tie j poor are acceptable to it, for, as owe ! bas said 'who bestows bimseif with j his alms feeds three, himself, his ! buagry neighbor and Rte.' The chtt-1 dren, too, can assist in this labor of j love.- as is show? by the pleasantly remembered gills of the families of ; children or -of cit??dren's societies, i euch as the Country Children's Wal- ! nut Meals, or the 'Juue Bugs' ' t/hristmas offerings. The work only needs to be known to be appreciated, aud South Carolina friends will then remember it in tlreir j Increasing pr*?9periiy with offerings { and good works, and by visits to it j of regard and sympathy, 3ttd their I children, through gifts to the House, will maintain an interest in that will insure its perpetuity, li was found? ed in the belief that because it was a work meeting pressing wants in the j daily lives of the poor it would be supported by the people. During the ! past year sixty worthy applicants ? were obliged to be refused admittance \ from want of room. Shall the work ; be enlarged as designed and demand- j ed ? Seveu thousand seven hundred j dollars are needed to pay the seventy- j two hundred dollars debt and suita- j bly repair and furnish the two build- j ings, so that one of them need no j longer be rented, but occupied by j the overcrowded inmates and the ; waiting applicants, and thc long-need- j ed infirmary be provided. Duly im- : pressed with the need and value of j the work, 4a lady offers to he one of ! twenty-five, contributors of one hun- ; dred dollars each to pay the mortgage ; on the building now necessarily reut- ; ed/and 'a gentleman living on a clerk's j salary, has offered to be one of a hun- : dred to subscribe ten dollars a year toward its support.1 Seventeen hun? dred and eighty-two dellars (1 7823 are needed for the purchase and in? troduction of the steam machinery manufactured by B. Eastwood, of Paterson, N. J., into its laundry, which, at present paying its own ex? penses, could then, the work being done by the inmates, have its capac? ity for work increased at reduced prices so as to largely^defray the ex-1 penses of the House. The' inmates '? ! would thus maiiitain" themselves by j the labor of their hands, aud, if un? skilled workers, be trained until they become successful in laundry work. Can this sum be more worthily be? stowed than by thus teaching young girls and women of the unfortunate poor to earn their bread by necessary work ? And can a more practical way be devised of helping the destitute to help themselves ? References in Charleston concern? ing" the work can be made, by per? mission, to Right Rev. W. B. W. Howe, D. D., Rev. C. S. Vedder, D. D., pastor of the Hugenot Church ; Rev. B. W. Junkin, D. D., pastor of the Westminister Presbyterian Church ; Rev. E. T. Horn, pastor of St. John's Lutheran Church. AU necessary inquiries may be made, and all visitors iu sympathy with the work, will be welcome to the founders of the House, who are also the executive committee : Mrs. J. Bellinger, Miss E. J. Wagner, Miss Celia Campbell the latter being also the secretary and treasurer, and M?6S E. J. Wagner, the head of the House.

VAK B. STEVENSON*. No Man for President of Vas? sar. I have opened a canvass for the Presidency of Vassar College, and in case of success my time will be fully occupied by the duties of the posi? tion. The place is now vacant. They talk of putting a man into it. ? Nonsense ! Nothing masculine ought to be permitted within the walls j which inclose the educational facili? ties of 2,000 girls. My claims are varied, and, I may say, multifarious ; but principally I urge my idea that especial attention should be. given to the culture of laaideus in their knowl? edge of man. Wiry are there so ma?y unhappy marriages? Because of the lack of judgraeston the part off the girls. They select ?om outward [ appearances, or rather they submit blindly to being selected by any fairly presentable fellow who gets at them. That is all wrong. When I am in the Vassar Presidency 1 wftl establish a ' chair of matrimony, with the most com? petent person possible todecture on the qualities of man with reference to his desirability as a husband. The mat? ter -of matching certain dispositions and temperaments should receive spe? cial study; and I would try to make I the students expertsja-^eerning the good and true hi a suitors-Attention from the bad and the false.
