Would'et thou walk futile GGH1011 of lan10
woukree thou taste of the fruits that STOW
In alleys where grapee bang low,
In fields that are never the same ?
By the feet of the awful see,
Alone comfit thou reaCh those flowers,
And it in the ahaded bowers.
Calm home of the hire and the bee.
No pathway, no compass, can lead;
Alone must thou find the shore,
Alone through the fret and the roar
Where the mailed waters tread.

But lit who would cling to a spar,
Or hold by a knotted rope,
And laugh in bis secret hope,
Nor question his way of a star,
relfay be saved by a master hand,
And fast to the shore may bold;
He may see the apples of gold'
He may wander indeed on.that strand.
But when the days are fulfilled,
And the nrasters feet are led
Where only the gods may tread,
And whither the We have willed,
Then he who clung to the keel,
Nor worshipped in labor and kWh
Nor yearntd for the apples, nor strove
With a yearning the lover must feel,
Sees the waves of oblivion rise, *
And gather to drag him down,. '
While the face of •the east wears a frown,
And are vanished the god -like eyes.
• 0. The Grave."
(Translated from the German of sans by
Baroness swift.)
The grave is still and deep:.
Its awful borders lone
From -us the seorets keep
Of a far land unknown.
The nightingale's sad lay
Ne'er to its depths may sound,
And friendship's roses gay
O'erlie its mossy mound.
Thor° brides bereft oft sigh •
And wring their hands in vain;
The orphan's plaintive cry
Wakes not its dead again!
Yet nowhere else, I trow, •
oanst find thy yearned repose;
Through its dark portals low
The pilgrim homeward goes.
The heart which, full of care,
By passion's stomas is torn,
Doth tarn forpeace e'en,where
No more 'twill beat -nor mourn!

Aro very soft and,very bine.;
Her lips eeem made for sweet replies

fler little teeth. are white as par', •

She really is a charming girl,
And I adored her -last July. . •
We danced and MGM and bowled and Walked;
she let me squeeze her finger tips;
Entranced I listened when she talked,.
And trash seemed wisdom from her lips.
I sent her roses till my purse • ••
Was drained, I found, completely dry;
I longed to tuna her charms in verse -
But allpf this watilast July.
Of course, at last we had to part;
saw a tear -drop weber cheek;
I left her with an aching heart,
And dreamed about her for a week. '
But out Of sight, is eht of mind;
But, somehow, as the time went by,
Much fainter I began to find
The memory of last July. ,
July has come again at hist; , ,
With summer gowns the rocks are gay.;
It seems an echo of the past
To meet her on the beach to -day.
She's even fairer than of lore,
And yet, I c,ould not tell you why,
I find the girl an awful bore -
So long it is since last July.

Coins, Old and New.
• France has just admitted into fellowship
the latest addition to the great family of
European coins. For many years the
Swiss republio transacted *hi 00031110r0e
With itS own paper and with the gold of
other nations. There had, indeed, been
an issue tit 20 franc pieces, but that is now
a long time ago, the number ot coins put
forth was very trifling, and the experiment
.was so unsucoessful that they were forth-
with recalled. The die was °Imlay and
easily and immediately imitated by French
miners. A new issue has long been called
for, and it ie this which France has legal-
ized as a tender for the value which it
beam. The coin cannot be called a success.

The Responsibilitie s of Parenthood.
And that care of others in this ease (i.
within the family) it: not only ma:antral to
the development of life and its IllinesS, but
also to the happiness of self, will be clear
if we ooneider the matter with the least
Mediation. For the altruistic nature shown
in -the care of ohildren is inherited by ohil-
dren and developed in them by shah care.
Hence, as Mr. Spencer well notes, there
resultiesuch conduct on the part children as
"makes , parenthood 'a blessing." Of the
parents of children inheriting suoli naturee
and so reared, it may be mid that, even in
our days (to whioh the saying of the
Hebrew Psalmist was not, I suppose, in-
tended origineely ' to apply), the man is
blessed that heat his quiver fullof them.
On the contrary, where the parents and
therefore probably the children ' are of
selfish nature and the examPle. eet the
children le uothsly egotistio,, parenthood is
no blaming, and may well become a source
of misery. What happens in this case? asks
the philosopher . whose treatment of
the scientificaspect of duty we are
following. "First, the domestic irritations
must -be relatively .great; forthe actions
of selfish children to one another land to
their parents cause daily aggeesaions sand
squabbles. Second, when adult, such chil-
dren ard more likely than •others to dis-
•satiefy employers, alienate friendee and
oompeornise the family by miebehaviore dr
even by crime. Thirdeheyond the sorrows
thus brought on them, the, parents of stioh
children have'eventually tce beat the sor-
rows onieglected old' age. The °melte;

' Poor Rich and Rich Pnor Children.
t
If the children of the poor are starved
so are in many oases those, of the rich,
though the form of starvation is different,
They starve for want of mother's milk, the
place of which is taken by artificial diet;
they erarve forwent of fresh air, shut up
in nurseries. and only taken on formal
walks with num°. maids; they starve
mentally for want of the companionship of
their 'parents, for the father is intent on
• money making and the mother on feebler).
• able eollies ; and not infrequently they
starve from improper food, as surely as
the •children . of • the • poor, from
insufficient • food. • The babies who
survive in the house of the poor man have.,
as they learn to walk and run; at least t
benefit of exercise, which enables the o
altsimilitte the food they etti ; but th ile
dren of the rich are largely shut tip incloore,
in an atmoephere pervaded more or IMO
with gases derived from pipes and 'ewers.
It is the age of childbOod that most tries
the children of the rich. The boys who

seems to have resorted to the courts

Al any rate, claiming that inc had
procured a divorce from Morse, she married,
No, de one Rowe, in 1863. From Rowe,
also, she obtained a divorce in an Indiana
court, but two months after she got her
decree he had haat aside, v.nd in 1867 the
(11Voroe prooeedinge were dismissed. Then
Was brought out that while Rowe was •
stillliving, as indeed he may be yet, she was
united to No. 4 (one A/brae), from whom
she was subsequently divorced -in Massa,

riage ceremony with No. 5, repreeented by

In 1880 Mrs. Tilby brought a suit against
No. 5, Mr. Hayes, to have her pretended
marriage with him declared void,. She
Glowed in the suit that the person who
married them, although, pretending to be
their minister in charge of St. Paul's Church,
Jersey City, was not a minister at all, a••
fact, she alleges, well known to Hayes at
tht) time. She accordingly told him that
ebe would not fulfil her marriage contract,
and she Claims never to have cohabited
with him. This suite however, was sent
to a referee, -who gave judgment that the
marriage between Mrs. Tilley and Hayes
was •valid and that it was followed by
cohabitation.
Sprroge,te Rollins held that the law pre-
stuneeethat the legacy would not have been
given if the testator had ,known that the
legatee was not his wife and declines to
admit the will.
