Cease your teats and let it lie,

Sweet friends! what the womenlave
For its last bed In the grave,

Is a garment no mon fitting,
Is a cage from which et last,
Like a hawk, my soul bath passed;
Love the inmate, not the room -
The roarer, not the garb --the plume
Of the falcon. Dot the bars
Which kept him from the splendid star.
Loving friends ! be wise and dry
Straightway every weeping eye :
What ye lift upon the bier
Is not worth a wistful tar.
'Tie an empty seashell -one
Out of which the pearl has gore ;
The shell is broken --it lies there;
The pearl, the all. the soul, is here.
'Tis an earthen jar whose lid
Allah sealed, the while it hid
That treasure of his treasury,
A mind that loved him; let It lie -
Let the shard be earth once more,
Since the gold shines in his store.
Allah glorious! Allah good!
Now the world is understood;
Now the long, long wonder ends!
Yet ye weep, my erring friends.
While the man whom ye call dead
In unbroken bliss instead
Lives acid loves you;lost, 'tis true,
By such light w shines tor you:
But in the light ye cannot see,
Of unfulfilled tellcity,

Farewell friends ! yet not lareweU ;
Where I am ye too shall dwell.
i am gone before your tate,

When ye come where I have supped.
Ye will wonder why ye wept;
Ye will know, by wise love taught,
That here is all and there is naught.
When acridly, tf ye are fain.
Sunshine still must follow rain;
Only net at death. for death.
Now that 1 know. is that first breath
Which oarsuuli drew when we enter
Life, which is of W the centre.
Be ye certain. all seems love.
Viewed from Allah's throne above;

Bravely onward to your home.

The art of packing is by no means a
common accowplishuteut, and the tannic
pictures which represent the girl of the
period despairingly sitting on her trunk
while the maid -of -all -work vainly endeav-
ors to kick it and the expressman chim-
aera et the door, are scarcely as touch
exaggerated as ono might eupp,se. It is
always disagreeable and difficult to pack
in a hurry; therefore, it is wise to begin
in season, say, at lea..t, a day before it
seems at all .eoew►y to done. See that
your trunks are in order, and allow
ample time for any repairs which are to
be made, for mechanics, as many of us
know to our sorrow, riff more apt to
make fair promises than to keep them.
After the trunks are ready, get every-
thing together which is to be packed,and
then go quietly and systematically to
work. Very large trunks are au abomin-
ation over which expressman groan and
swear, not altogether without resent.
Still, short ones are inconvenient, except
for short journeys, and multiply expense
as the expressage is for each piece, be it
fur Saratoga trunk or small valise,•with-
out regard to size. But, whatever the
size of the trunk, it should be filled, or
at least packed full enough to prevent
the contents from tossing about. If you
are compelled to take a trunk which is
too large fur what yea need to pack in it,
till it with crumpled paper, rather than
leave it half empty. Even 'experienced
travellers have only a partial idea of the
rough usage to which towage is subject-
ed. The train stops for two minutes,
• perhaps, and your new Saratoga is thrown
-not lifted -from the baggage -car down
ion the platform, and then knocked
around, pitched first on one end and
ithen on another, until it would seem as
though every fastening must be wrench-
ed out of place. On this condition of af-
fairs; unless the trunk is closely packed,
the conteuts will be literally churned up

"It is affecting to see a distant moun-

It lies like an isle in the far heavens, a
part of earth unprofaned, which does

"That's the sport, to throw the fly,

"Hauling fish through the surf is bat-

[Daniel Webster:

"If the angler be not impelled by the
command of a visible queen of May, he
always feels the unconquerable necessity
of doing a -fishing wren the spring
comes. It can't be resisted. He might
as well try to shake - off the impulse of
waking in the morning and resolve to
deep on forever." --{W. C. Paine.

A Chinaman working at Nevada City,
Neb., brought to his employer a Chines
lily, in bud, which he said would bloom
at just twelve o'clock of the Chines
New Year. He brought it in about 10
o'clock, and dosed it with a white pow-
der dissolved in warm water, anal per-
formed over it several ceremonies. The
buds were observed to swell visibly, but
at 11:40 t;'clock not one had opened.
The hands were fast moving up to the
midnight hour. When it lacked but
about -.three minutes of twelve, John
drew a piece of bamboo about an inch in
diameter from some secret recess about
his raiment. Placing this to his lips he
gently blew his warm breath on one of
the buds, and almost instantly it was
seen to expand and stand forth a full-
blown flower. In rapid succession,
flower after Sower was thus brought out,
and at midnight the whole plant was a
mass of blossoms.
Wers.-What do you think the bean-
tiful word "wife" comes from. It is the
word in which the English and Latin
language wavered the French and the
Greek. I hope the French will souse
day get a word for it instead of that
dreadful word/muse. But what do you
think it comes from 1 The great value
of Saxon words is that they mein some-
thing. Wife means "weaver." You
must either be housewives or housemoths;
remember that. In the deep sense, you
must either weave men's fortunes or
embroider them, or feed upon and bring
them to decay. Wherever a true wife
Domes, hoate is always around her. The
sten may be over her head. the glow-
worm in the night cold grass may be the
fire at her foot; but home is where she
is; and for a noble woman it stretches
far around her, better than .houses ceil-
ed with cedar and painted with vermil-
lion, shedding its quiet light for those
who else are homeless. This I believe
to be a woman's true place and power.
THE SILENCE Or Fiusxotiutr. — Only

passing guest or ceremonial acquaintance
you feel under an obligation to talk; you
may make an effort to entertain him as
a nutter of courtesy; you niay be tired
or weak, but no matter, you feel you
trust exert yourself. But, with s very
dear and intimate friend sitting by you,
there is ne feeling of the kind. To be
surd, you may talk if you feel able,
pr.uring out all sorts of confidence, re-
lieved and refreshed by the interchange
of thoughts and sympathies. But, if
you are very tired, you know you do not
need to say a word. You are perfectly
1 understood. and you know it. You can
1 enjoy the mere fact of your friend's pre-
sence, and find that does you more good
than conversation. The sense of ,tthat
present and sympathetic affection rets
you more than any • won,.. And your
friend takes it As the highest pried of
your friendship and confidence, and pro-
