For when one task she's finished, some- thing's found Awaiting a beginning, all year round. Whether it bo To draw the tea, Or bake the broad, Or make the bed; Or ply the broom, Or dust the room, Or floor to scrub, Or knives to rub, Or table to set, Or meals to got, Or shelves to soon, Or fruit to eau, Or seeds to sow, -Or plants to grow, Or linens to bleneb, Or lessons to teaob, Or butter to churn, Or jackets to turn, Or polish glass, Or plate of brass, Or clothes to mend, Or children to tend, Or notes indite, Or stories write -- These oars propel your barks o'er house- hold seas In sunny heavens where you rest at ease, And, ono word more, don't you forget it, please. "1 WOi1LDNA Gill A COPPER PLACE." T wouldna gie a copper plank For ony man that turns his book On duty clear; I wouldna, tak' his word or note; I wouldna trust him for a groat, Nor life an oar in any boat Which he might steer. When things are just as things should be' And fortune gies a man the plea, Where'er he be, It isna hard to understand How be may walk through house and land, Wi' cheerio face and open hand, Continually ; But when in spite o' work and care, A man must loss and failure bear, He merits praise Wha will not to misfortune bow, Why cocks his bonnet on his brow And fights and fights, he Renate how, Through lang, hard days. I wouldna gie an auld bawbee For ony man that I could see Wha didna hold The sweetness o' his mither's name, The kindness o' his brither's claim, To honor o' n woman's fame, Tar mair than gold. Nor is it bard for him to do, Wha kens his friends are loul and true, Love sweet and strong, Whose hearth knows not from year to year The shadow of a doubt or fear, Or feels the falling of a tear For ony wrong. But gie him praise whose love is pain, Mia, wrong'd forgives, and loves again, And, though he grieves, Lots not the dear ono from his Dare, But loves him mair, and mair, and mair, And bides his time wi' hope and prayer, And still believes. Ay, gie him praise wba disua fear The uphill fight from year to year, And wba grips fast His min dear ones through good or ill, Who, if they wander, loves them still; Some day of joy he'll get his fill ; IIn'll win at last. 1[[SSZO?iS AND iulSSIONARIES.

Josiah Allen's children have been brought up to think that sin of any kind is just as bad in a man as in a woman ; and any plane of amore- merit that was bad for a woman to go to was bad for a man. Now, when Thomas Jefferson was a little feller, he was bewitched to go to circuses, and Josiah said : "Better let him go, Samantha ; it haint no place for women or girls, but it won't hurt a boy." Says I : "Josiah Allen, the Lord made Thomas Jefferson with just as pure a heart as Tomah Ann, and no bigger eyes and Dare, and if Thomas Jefferson goes to the circus, Tirzah Ann goes too," That stopped that, And then he was bewitched to get with other boys that smoked and chewed to- bacco, and Josiah was of just that easy turn that he would have let him go with 'eta. But says .T. "Josiah Alien, if Thomas Jeffer- son goes 'with offer•songoes'with those boys and gets to THE BRUSSELS POST seassassarawnssessuestressassino ehowin' and smoltin' tab000°, I shall buy Tirzah Anna pipe.,' And that'atoppod that, "And abort drtnkin' ; if it should bo the will of Providence to change you into a will bear, I will Thain you up, and do the best I can by you. 13ut if you ever do it yourself, 'turn yogrsolf into a wild boast by drinitin', I will run away ; for I never could stand it, never I And," I continued, "if I even see you heogiu' roundbar-rooms and tavern doors, Tirzah Ann shall hang to." Josiah argued with me, Says he.: "It doesn't look so bad fora boy as it dose for a girl." Says I: "Custom makes the dif- ference ; we are more used to Fleeing MOLL But," says 1, "when liquor goes to work to make a foul and a brute of anybody, it don't stop to ask about sex—it makes a wild beast and idiot of a man or a woman, and to look down from hoaven, I guess a man looks as bad layin' dead drunk as a woman does." Says I, "Things look differently from up there than what they do to as—it is a more sightly place. And you talk about looks, Josiah Allen. I don't go on clear looks, I go on principle. Will the Lord any to mo in the last day, 'Josiah Allen'a wife, how is it with the soul of Tir- zah Ann— ? As for Thomas Jefierson's soul, he bein' a boy, it haint of no account.' No f I shall have to give au account to Him for my dealin's with both of these souls, mole and female. And I should feel guilty if I brought him up that what was impure for o woman was pure for a man. If a man has a greater desire to do wrong, which I don't dispute," says I, lookin' keen- ly onto Josiah, "he has greater strength to resist temptation. And so," says I, in mild accents. but firm as old Plymouth Rook, "if Thomas Jefferson hangs, Tirzah Ann shall hang too. "I have brought Thomas Jeffer- son up to think that it was just as bad for him to listen to a bad story or a gong as for a girl, or worse, for he had more strength to run away ; and that it was a disgrace for him to talk or listen to any stuff that he would he ashamed to have Tirzah Ann or me hear. I have brought him up to think that manliness consist in having a cigar in his mouth, and his hat on ono side, and swoariu' and slang phrases, and a knowledge of questionable amuse- ments ; but in layin' holt of every duty that comes to him, with a brave and cheerful face ; in hatpin' to rigb t the wrong and protect the weak, and makin' the most and best of the mind and soul God had given him. In short, I have brought him up to think that purity and virtue are bothfeminine and masculine, and that God's angels are not nocossar• ily she ones.—Samantha Allen. Variation Notes. The soft pile yellows combine elegantly with grays. The felt sailor hat will be worn with fall costumes. The woolens for fall wear are of a charming softness and coloring. Velvet will be generally used for skirts and trimmings the coming season. Pink is it favori to color in even- ing fabrics and bids lair to rival the new greens. There is a fancy to have all the fall fabrics of firmer wear than they wore last season. Watered silk still is used as a decoration on stuff dresses, and is always effective. The double gown of two colors India sills with s full frilling of ]ace is a pretty matinoe. Cashmere des Indes, or shudder cloth, is one of the softest and most attractive of fabrics. The polka dotted woolens in light shades make pretty house armee and matinees. All sorts of fruits and berries are used as a fashionable hat trimming for early autumn. .A. soft wool brocade with figures in silk is one of the pretty fabrics for honsowear which it now. Yellows of all shades are stylish for indoor weer and some delicate new shades are attractive, Green is.combined this season with all aorta of colors add is with- out doubt the color for fall wear: Tho Terry corsage, which is a sort of Stelae waist, if a favorite model for young girls' costume. The English models are the fa- vorites this season in out ofdoor wear and the tailor.inado costume, Olive and white is a very effoo- tive oembination, and one which lane the merit of being refined and elegant, • Yellow and certain she des of olive are most attractive in oombi. nation, and are soon in some idyl - hal costumes, The wide stripes are atylieb in twilled obevtota and have a lightness and durability at once attractive and desirable, The soft and beautiful mohair fabrics, which are growing in favor every day, are nit ractivo and also curable. Bare of velvet ribbon will still be in good style on light woolens for indoor costumes for the autumn. Among the new shades of gray are the smoke and fog shades ; one has some yellow tint, the other a suggestion of purple. Thera are many beautiful new blues this season which aro becom- ing, and will be particularly liked by young people. The English fashion of wearing felt and velvet hats in summer has now reached this country and it is generally accepted. A li'renah mixture of color is green and purple, bui it !s not such as would please the taste uneducate ed in such combinations. There aro many protty ways of making matinees, among them the Oossaok style with open sleeves and wide rolling oollsr. Purple will continuo to be woro in its darker shades for out of door wear but for house wear it is no longer stylish in the half tints, There are ninny pretty designs in the beautiful Florentine velvets, which will make most attractive barque waists for skirts of plain fabric. Tho beautiful materiels for out. side jackets are for the most part of simple wear with a fine smooth sur- face and of soft texture. Thera are some cheviots of Scotch weave which are particu- larly pretty and wear most remark- ably ; in truth they cannot wear out. There are wide brim Mother Hubbard hats for the fall which look very dainty and picturesque above little quaint, ohildtsh faces. The largest buttons seen on all outside .garments for fall are of costly workmanship and. invariably have the finish of delicate work. Tho Cballi costumes are trimmed with velvet ribbon generally but a gash of wide watered ribbon is quite enough finish for such a cos- tume. The antique shades of pink are the most becoming to delicate com- plexions, and where it is not used in masses it is certainly a most al, tractive color. The yoke waist plaited is one of the most convenient of corsages, as it takes the place of the jersey, which, it must be confessed, is rather passe.. The little rinse which take the place of the planings so long fash- ionable, will bo seen on all the sty'. ish costumes for autumn, if the fah• rio allows. Ooon brown is one of those dif- ficult shades to describe, but which is effective in combinasion with any sort of neutral tint, It is stylish for fall Wes". There aro few if any among the new hat shapes prettier than the sailor shape, abused as it is and commonly as it is worn by all sorts and conditions of people. The line straw braids called the the 'homespun' are attractive for children's wear, and eo durable that they wear many seasons, needing only to be whitened. A pretty Russian pattern for a reception dross is in soft white thud - der cloth, on which has been am - b roidered a border of Russian cross stitch in brown and gold. The prettiest of the now fabries for autumn is the soft Bilk cashmere which is a beautiful and fine weave, as silky to the touch as if ivere the produtofthe cocoon. Canadian Nees s:.
