I rixn that sonic of the lcmlirig
journals of the State are doing inc an
injustice in calling me :1 poet and in
attributing to irry pen thie :1rLii.-,lc en-
titled “To the F2l.l'lllCl‘ Seiraiturs oi"
.\Iichig:1n,” in the VISlTt.)R of )l:1y 1.3.

I may be guilty of niiii-,l1 erroiieous
:11-tion but the writing of poetry, or
the filching of it from some one else
(which is Worse), can not in jll.3‘tll'L‘ be
laid to me. I believe that Mrs.
Waynne, of New York. wife of As;-'ei11-
blyman in that State, is the author of
the touching appeal. Yours truly,

A Plea for "Woman’s Rights.”

Probably at no time within the his-
tory of the United States has this
question loomed upon the social and
political horizon so prominently as at
the present day, and at no foriiier
period have so many bi-illiaiit minds
been engaged in working out its solu-
tion. It is, indeed. a question worthy
ot' the best and deepest thought. for
once granted the right of ballot,an ele-
tnent in point of numbers will at once
spring into active_. intelligent existence
which viewed in the light of the past
has no parallel, and that this qucsiioii
is constaiitly as:suiiiing larger propor-
tions aiid becoming more and more
pressing in its demands for tinal ad-
iustinent. none can or will attempt to
‘denv: like Hamlet’s ghost. it Will not
be put down. and allei1'orts to stitie in
the present or to traiist'er to the dis-
tant future this interesting and iin-
portaiit problem are, and must be for-
ever. tutile.

That woman is the peer and equal of
man in all points except that of physi-
cal prowess or strength. we most dis-
tinctly atliriii. and though it  oi but
recent date that she has been allowed
the opportunity of even partially de-
veloping her capabilities. yet her sue.-
cess has been such as to prove not only
to licrself that she is sonietliiug oi’
more value than a "-ciplier." but to
compel adiiiiration and respect from
an audience composed of the civilized
world.

The period is not remote. and
quires no great exercise of mciiiory to
recall when ni:in_v tields of coinnion
action and usei'ulnt_-as now open . to
women were occiipied by men only.

and it was then considered an un-
cli:iiigeahle. absolute fact that tlic_v

alone were the rightful occupaiits and
woman had not. and could never have.
the iiece.s:sai'_\' executive ability. and
that in the very nature ot tiiiiigs to
place her there must of necessity end
in disappointment and chagrin.

Viewed in the light of the present.
those beliefs seem to belong to a past
and seiiii-enlightened age, so com-
pletely have they been refuted and
overthrown. \Ve tiiid woman all over
the land sharply competing with man
in telegraphy. book-keeping,and in
clerkiiig: we find her. too, as sharply
competing with him in the learned
prote.ssioiis,—iii medicine, in the ni_v:s-
teries of law. in teaching, and in every
other department of scieiice she 
sharing with him in the tributcs to
genius.

Turning to the records of the liis-
torianwo iind that there. too. she has
compelled lasting acknowledgcnicnt oi‘
her greatiiess and wortli.and lilizvilictli
oflingland. Maria Tin-re.sa of Au-iria.
Josephine of l’rance. and \'ii-toria of

It was a principle laid down in

levolutioiiary iiiiies that taxation

and we believe it is so regarded to-<l:t_\‘.
The best blood of our fore-i'atlier- was
shed in defence of this truth, and the
principle itself forms one of the best.

arguments in favor of the ballot tor

some of the greatest and decpest think- ,

ers of the age stand on this siihjt.-ct.
.In.stice is on the side ot woman suf-

In the pi'ogi'e-ss of civilization,

I believe the vices in our large cities
will never be conquered until the ballot

I think that there will be no end to

The ballot for woman is right and

These, then. a.re the recorded opiii-
ions of eniincnt men whose Words
carry weight and respect wherever
spoken: men of ackiiowledged wisdom
and prudence. and the list could be in-
detinately proloiiged. but we will
make but one t'urt.lier quotation. that
of \Viii. E. Gladstone, the toriiier
Prime Mini.st.er of England. and the
champion of human liberi_v every-

It has been said that our cities are
the storm centre of our country. They
are the very starting point of all the
evils that threaten our land to-day.

tnuiiists, Nihilists and all the other
iniportations of miscliief from other
countries. The fact that the cities are
growing much more i'apidl_v than the
whole population is full oi‘ signiticaiice
and should attract. the attention and
interest of our farining population, t'or
it is tlicy who uiust hear the tinal and

heaviest biirdeiis that must surely
come if. when “tlii'cateniiig perils

\\'e have spoken of the evils in our
cities as of foreign importation. The

is welcome and always has been to our
.shorc.s. but he does liot remain as a
rule in the cities. A few more tigures
to think about. Our iiity principal
cities contain over :l‘.i per cent. of our
entire (ierinan population, and over

The Early Age. the Primitive Period
of a Nation, Productive of the
Greatest Minds.

The vine came from the East, and
Was soon yielding its luscious fruit
from the mellow vintage oi suimy Ita-
ly. Vvlienthe Tuscan soldier led the
uiilettered Goth to Venetia and gave
him aglass of the rich Italian wine.
he was not only introduciiig the vine
and the vintage, but the luxury and
etfeiiiiiiacy of Rome. into Gaul and
Germany. Those hardy races, the
Franks and G0ths.tlie most tormidable
of the barbarians. whose minds and
bodies were so hardened by perpetual
action in war, that "the snows of Win-
ter were as pleasant to them as the
flowers ot' spring,” when these valiant
sons of Mars became the devotees of
Bacelius they were the eileiiiiiiate sol-
diers who coinplaiued, if -‘the winds
of March visited them too roughly.”
As. with the l’ersians, the wines of
Chiraz triuniplied over the laws of
Malioiiiet. so the vintages of Rome and
Gaul have pieen the source of intro-
ducing lux irious lite that has eiifee-
bled the nations. llad the Saraceiis
kept the primitive habits of their ia-
tliei'.s. the map of Southern Europe
would have been changed. Instead ot
deserts. .superstition and inonkish be-
sottedness, we would have Moot-isli
ltiiigiloiiis, Arabian gardens, ()‘astilian
fouinains, science learning, and litera-
titre.

Yet Italy was the land of coiitrasts,
ofextrenies in virtue as wellas in vice.
In contrast to the dark charactei's we
have drawn. we have (jicero. Cato,
.\'eiieca. Tacitus. the l’lin_\'s. Epiciitus,
the .\ntoiiines. who dignitied the pur-
plc and elevated the moral sentiment.

tory we discover beautifiil characters
whose lives have cont'ornicd to the
tcacliiiigs of the higliest wisdom. and
ot' the laws of health that the age
could produce. In regard to longevity
Lucian say.s.tliat the ancients who took
the most care oi their bodies and
niinds enjoyed the longest lives accom-
panied with the best healili. As proof

reached the age of 100, Zeno lived to
tin‘. a stranger to disease, and never in-
coinnioded by a real indispositioii. lle
owed it all to temperance. Laertius.
when he lost his life, was tin: and Di-
ogoiies died when in his 90th year.
l’hyrrho, reniarkablc for the command
of his pa.s:sions and t'eeliii;_rs, lived also
no y¢.‘ll'.3'. Joseplihs says that the age of
the .»'e\vi.s l recluses was prolonged al-
most iiivariahly to lot! years, and was
due to their simple diet and mode of
living. ;\'ow contrast this with the
age of the royal gonrmauds who
-‘swayed the rod of empire" ovci' the

VVe once heard a. ret'oriued iiiebriatc,
who had become an active temperance
Worker. say that he had drank liquor
enough to tloat a good-sized ship. Of
course, the remark was intended to be
taken with considerable abateiiient,hut
the statcinent could hardly be regarded
as a liyperbole, that the aggregate
amount of intoxicants consumed by
the people of the United States the
last 2:") _vear..s would make a lake big
enough to Iiold and tloat our navy.

In the quarterly report of the chief
of the Bureau ot' Statistics, the con-
.sumption of distilled and malt liquors
and Wines. and estiiiiates made upon
the best i'ecogiiizetl authority, are
dwelt upon at considerable length. In
round iiuinbcrs the consuinption of
dis-rtilled spirits. doniestic and imported
in this country. is shown to have in-
creased from i3.i_itiii,otiii galloiis in IMO
to 7'.‘.UUU.tii)ll in 18863: of wines. i'roiii

statement made by I’. N. Barrett, ed-
itor of the New York (irrocer. by
request of the Chief of the liurcau. is
given in the report, which aiiiong
many other things discloses the fact;
that the piw.-seiit average e.\;peiiditurc

tion is estiniated to he, in ISM}. 11.9.31,-
4i7, iiiaking the average expeiiditure
per capittirj-'i.'ii.1ii). From the known
conservatisiii of the (-"rocer on the tem-
peraiice question, these iigures may be
regarded as more than likely under
what a rigorou.s: arithmetic would
make.

lint this is only the direct expendi-
ture. and does not represent the cost
of crime, paupcrisin, disease and in-
sanity which this consuniptioii of
liquor annually entails upon the peo-
ple ot' this couiitr_v.

And yet what are all these vast sta-

THE C3-BANG-E VISITOR.

Phebe.
At open casement I musing sit
While straying breaths of the Maytinie
breeze,
Lingering, whisper of apple buds
And falling snow of the cherry trees,
Of pendent tassels on maple boughs,
Rich silver guards on maple leaves,
And rare flower ornaments thickly set
In the verdant carpet Dame weaves.

Sound tend:r calls from a bluebird’s throat,
Carol the redbreasts of love and spring,
Bob—o-links down in yon meadows thrill,
Wild, sweet notes of the oriole ring,
From blossoming branches with bees aswarm,
And pert Sir Viiren on the garden wall,
\Vrathfully chatters at rufiied mate,
But plaintively tender over all
This musical medley comes to ine——

“Phebe! Phebe!”

And still I listen and still it calls»

That yearning cry on the soft air rings,
Till quick thro’ sunlight a shadow falls

To my window ledge with a xvhir of wings.
Never a greeting nor yet excuse

He gives, my visitant unforseen,
But fixing his bright black eyes on mine, ‘

Nor dropping aught of his dauntless mien

He gives a dirt of his tail at
And says. “Phebe‘."

“O bonny bird! that is not my nanie—

But tell me, prithee, why o’er and o‘er
From red of morning till dew of eve

You just cry ‘Phebe’ and nothing more.
Did you live a youth when worlds were

young ‘

And love a maiden as fair as day,
Who faded like a lily beneath the sun

And left you mourning your life away?
\Vere th’ fairies angered-«you grieved so

long— ’
And touched your robe with their wands
of flame

That now as a wild-bird you so yearn

For vanished maiden and call her name‘?

Are these true fancies which come to iiie?”

Says he, “l’hel.>c!"
“Tarry a inomeiit"—bti'. no! away

He darts, nor pauses to make adieu,
To nest safe sheltered by nio.s:s'yeaves

lle wings, a spot on the sunny blue.
And roliins carol, a bltiebird calls,

Sir Wren still scolds from the garden wall,
Bob-o links: warble in ecstasy,

\\'hile clearly and plaiiitively over all
That tender cry comes back to nie-
“Phebe! Phebe!

The Girls That Are Wanted.
The girls that are wanted are good girls—-
Good from the heart to the lips‘,
Pure as the lily is white and pure,
From its heart to its sweet leaf tips.

The girls that are wanted are home girls-—
Girls that are mother's right hand,

That fathers and brothers can trust to,
And the little ones understand.

Girls that are fair on the hearthstoiie,
And pleasant when nobody sees;

Kind and sweet to their own folks
Ready and anxious to please.

The girls that are wanted are wise girls
That know what to do and to say;

That drive with a smile or a soft word
The wrath ofthe household away.

The girls that are wanted are girls ofsense,
\\'hom frtshion can never deceive:

Who can follow whatever is pretty,
And dare what is silly, to leave.

The girls that are wanted are carelul girls,
Who cotiiit what a thing will cost:

V\'ho use with a prudent, generous hand,
But see that nothing is lost.

The girls that are wanted are girls‘ with
hearts,
They are wanted for mothers and wives:
\V'anteid to cradle in loving arms,
The strongest and frailest oflives.

The clever, the witty, the brilliant girls,
They are very fe\v, understand:

But, oh! for the wise, loving home girls
There‘s :1 constant, and steady deniand.

blind and misguided as it often is,con-
tiiiues to grow in strength from day to

It is Absurd

For people to expect a cure for Indiges-
tion, unless they refrain from eating
what is unwliolesome; but if anything
will sharpen the appetite and give tone
to the digestive organs, it is Ayer’s Sar-
saparilla. Tliousaiids all over the land
testify to the merits of this medicine.

Mrs. Sarah Burroughs, of 2-18 Eighth
street, Sotitli Boston, writes : “ My lins-
band has taken Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, for
Dyspepsia and torpid liver, and has
been greatly benefited.”

C. Canterbury, of 141 Franklin st.,
Boston, Mass., writes, that, suffering
for years from Indigestion, he was at
last induced to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
and, by its use, was entirely cured.

Mrs. Joseph Auliin, of High street,
Holyoke. l\Iass., suffered for over a year
from Dyspepsia, so that she could not
eat stibstantial food, became very weak,
and was unable to care for her family.
Neither the Ill(:tiiI,'lllCS pres:-ribed by
physicians, nor any of the reinedies
advertised for the cure of Dyspepsia,
helped her, until she (‘oniinenccd the
use of Ayer’s Sz1i'.s'aparill:_1. “Three

subject agaiii and hope it will bc dis-
cussed in Giaiiige lialls and clscwhcrr-,
until the public is awakened and dc-
inaiids a change of some sort.

There  scarcely a term of Court in
any Jinlicial I)istrict of the State that
does not furnisli proof of the expen-
.-ivciics:- and defects of the systcni. In
in our large cities this part of our
judicial systcni is often a burlesque
and brazen fraud. Jurors in the face
of their oaths deliberately set aside an
undisputed violation of law and so far
as We are adviscd neither law or ii:-age
provides any reniedy or punisliniciit
for what might be fairly labeled and
('l:l.\SC(l with crinies that give a man
live ycars’ labor under the supervision
of the .5'.tatc.

in his opinion a man who had paid his
.$:l4'H') licciise ought to sell when he
pleased, shows the willingness of those
entrusted with the execution of the
law to become parties to its violation.

The formal mockery of law in the
police court of Detroit sustained as it
is by the opinion of ajudge that there
is no law under which a juryman can
be called to account or punished for
perjury, illustrates the defects of our
jury system and the power of the sa-
loon in politics.

If the bill now before the Legislature
providing for a State (Joiistabulary
can aid in redeeniiiig Detroit from tho
disgrace of its police court sliaiiis, it
ouglit to pass.

Entries’ éspattmcnt.

Ladies’ Names.
[Printed by request.]
There is a strange deformity
Combined with countless graces,
As often in the ladies‘ names
As in the ladies’ faces.
Some names are fit for every age,
Some lit for only youth,
Some passing sweet and musical.
Some horribly uncouth:
Some fit for daines of lofiiest grades.
Some only fit for scullery maids.
Ann is too plain and common,
And Nancy sounds but ill,
Yet Anna is endurable,
And Annie is better still.
There is a grace in Charlotte,
In Eleanor a state,
An elegance in Isabella,
A haughtiness in Kate,
And Sarah is sedate and neat,
And Ellen innocent and sweet.
Matilda has a sickly sound,
Fit fora nurse's trade,
Sophia is effeminate,
And Esther sage and staid.
Elizabeth is a matchless name,
Fit for a queen to wear
In castle, cottage, hut or bill,
A name beyond compare;
And Bess or Bessie follow well,
- But Betsey is detestable.
Maria is too forward,
And Gertrude is too gruff,
Yet coupled with :1 pretty face
Is pretty name enough. .
Adelaide is fanciful,
And Laura, too, is fine,
But Emily is beautiful,
And Mary is divine.
Maud only suits the high»born daine,
And Fannie is a baby name,
Eliza is not very choice,
Jane is too blunt and bold,
And Martha somewhat sorrowful.
.-\nd Lucy proud and cold.
Amelia is too light and gay,
Fit only for a flirt,
Caroline is vain and shy,
And Flora smart and pert,
Louisa is too soft and sleek,
But Alice gentle, chaste and meek.
Harriet is conflding,
And Clara grave and mild,
And Emma is affectionate,
And Janet arch and wild,
Patience if expressive,
And Grace is old and rare,
And Catharine warm and dutiful
And Margaret frank and fair,
And Faith, Hope and Charity,
Are heavenly names for sisters three

We know what it is to be warm. Yes,

"Consider the Lilles—— How they
Grow.”

A new departure has been uiadc by

schools. Surely all flower lovers will
welcome and sustain Mrs. Gould’s ef-
torts. There is no more beautiful of-
fice in thoGra.ngc and none has purer
aims nor more significant emblems.

Botany is seldom taught as a study
in district schools where the problem
of getting in all the necessary classes is
unending. But how :1 country school-
iii-afaiii can live with the grass and trees,
bi-iars and weeds, and buds and flow-
ers, that envelop her domain during
thisseason, and can have her “teacher’s
desk” loaded with summer bloom and
not give now and then :1 talk on some
of the shapes or strut-tures, or habits
of these things is passing strange. I
can not conceive how she can push
aside the pleadiiig faces of :1 handful of
johnny-jump-ups or dandelions and
go on with some dry arithmetic lesson
when all Nature is claiuoring through
open windows and doors: how she can
always refuse her notice. Children are
so simply enticed into breathless inter-
est in bees, birds and flowers, it is sin-
gular that we do not sooner catch the
cue and get their attention for other
things by such means.

Several years ago a teacher in acer-
tain country school, with no time for
botaiiy, still found opportunity to iii-
terest the pupils in noting the unfold-
ing of leaves in the spring time. Every
Monday lea ves were pickedfrom differ-
ent plants and carefully pressed with
the date attached. Notes were made
concerning the folding of the leat in
the bud and any other peculiarities.
The veining was studied with the
shape. apex, base and edge. when the
leaf was full grown. Varieties of trees
were in this way distinctly learned (:1
knowledge all too scant, you will find,
even aniong d\vellers in proud Michi-
gaifs woods.) Then tlowers—h:1ppy
was that tesieher when she tin:1lly dc-
coyed “her boys” into seeing :1 beauty
in wild violets beyond their splendid-
ness for mock rooster fights. ! Btit, for-
tuiiatcly, :1 strip of sand ran through
the district and there she sent the mis-
chievous follows to bring her the bird-
foot variety, and :1.g:iin to the marsh
and woods for as niuny other kinds and
colors as they could find. Pointing out
their habits and varieties,she contrived
to capture the warlike proclivities of
her florists and to engage them in the
care of a wild flower garden.

The next spring they had :1 “tame
g:1rdcii”in boxes on the window lodges
and many :1 lesson did her flock take in
practical plantology.

Farnicrs have just been sending seeds
to Prof. Bcal for information as to how
much and what foreign uiattcr they
contain. Most of these f:1rincrs, no
doubt, know a clover seed. but I ques-
tion if niiiny of them know what to
nziine the strange seeds among the clo-
ver. It weeds, what kinds? W'er1- they

All these things I think Mrs. Gould
Wishes us to lc.-irn morn of. that those
common objects, :ilw:1_vs with us, may
be more than things t.o live with with-
out 1-ven :1 iimiic to call them by,:ind
that the study of flowers is never
passed in the sense of having done
with it. so long as cro<-uses pet-p up in
the spring. and in the iiutumn there

“Blue———blue as if the sky let fall

A flower from its Cerulean wall.”
Let us keep the botany in 11SC‘,3tltI some

Longfellow’s Hiawatha.

PART ii.

That the beauty of the poem be not
nntrred, read it in the author’s own
words:

On the .\Iountains of the Prairie,

On the great Red Pipe Stone Quarry,
Gitche—1\lanito the Mighty,

He, the Master of Life descending
Stood erect upon the mountains,
Smoked the Calumet, the Peace-Pipe,
As asignal to the nations,

And the smoke rose slowly, slowly,
Till it broke against the heaven

And rolled outward all around it.
Down the rivers, o'er the prairies,
Came the warriors of the nations,
And Gitchie~Manito the Mighty
Spake to them on this wise:

“I am weary of your quarrels,

Weary of your wars and bloodshed;
Be at peace henceforward

And as brothers live together.

I will send a Prophet to you,

A Deliverer of the nations, ’

Who shall guide you and shall teach you.
If you listen to his counsels

You will multiply and prosper,

If his warnings pass unheeded

You will fade away and perish.”
“Honor be to Mudjekeewis"

Cried the warriors, cried the old men,
When he came in triumph hoineward
With the sacred belt of wampuin,
And had slain the l\lishe-Mokna

The Great Bear of the mountains,
“Henceforth shall he be the VVest \Vind.”
Thus was Mudjekeewis chosen

Father of the winds of heaven.

For himself he kept the West Wind,
Gave the others tohis children;

Unto Wabun gave the East Wind,
Gave the South to Shawandassee,

And the North Wind, 11 ild and cruel,
To the fierce Robibonokka.

In the days that are forgotten,

In the unremeinbered ages,

In the full moon was Nokomis
Swinging in her swing of grapevines,
\Vhen her rival, the rejected,

Put the leafy swing asunder

And Nokoriiis fell affrigl'ited

On the prairie full of blossoins.
There among the prairie lilies

Fair Nokomis bore a daughter

.\.nd she calletl her name \\'cnonali.
And there was born my liiawatlia,
There was born the child of wonder.
But the diiugliter of _\'okon1is,

Hiawatha’s gentle mother,

Died deserted by the West Wind,

False and faithless.

And the faithful old Nokoinis

Nursed the little Hiawatha,

Rocked him in his linden cradle,

Bedded soft with moss and rushes.

And the little Hiawatha

Learned of every bird its language,
Learned their names and all their secrets,
Talked with them whene’er he met them,
Called them Hiaw:1tha's chickens.

Of all the beasts he learned their language,
Learned their names and all their secrets,
Talked with them whene’er he met them,
Called them Hiawath:t’s brotliers.

Out of childhood into manhood

Now had grown my Hiawatha,

Skilled in all the craft of hunters,
Learned in all the Ir re of old men.

In all ni.1nl_v arts and labors.

Swift of font was Hiau -.1t‘n-.1,

Strong of arm was Hiawatha.

And he journeyed wesiwarrl, westward
To the kingdom of the West Wind,

And he cried, “Oh, Mudjekeewis,

It was you who killed Wenonah.

Took her young life and hev beauty.

Then began the deadly conflict,

Hand to hand among the mountains.
“I-Iold!" at length cried Mudjekeewis,
“Hold! my son. my Hiawatha,

For you cannot kill the immortal.

Ihave put you to the trial,

But to know and prove your courage;

Now receive the prize of valor.

Go back to your home and people,

Live among them, toil among them,
Cleanse the earth from all that harms it,
Clear the fishing grouncls and rivers,

Slay all monsters and magicians,

All the giants, all the serpents,

As I slew the Great Bear of the mountains.”
Homeward now went Hiawatha:

Only once his pace he slackened,

Paused to piircliase lieads of arrows

Of the ancient :\X‘l'0\\'-l\l£1l\'Cl'.

VVith him dwelt his <_lark—eyed daughter,
Minnehaha, Laughing Water.

\\'as it then for heads of arrows

That my Hiawatha halted

In the land of the Dacotalis?

All he told to old Nokomis

Was his meeting with his father.

Not a word he said of arrows.

Not a word of Laughing \Vater.

You should know how Hiawatha

Frayed and fasted in the forest:

Not for greater skill in hunting,

Not for triumphs in the battle.

But for profit of the people,

For advantage of the nations.

When the seven days of his fasting

Were accomplished and completed,
Homeward then went Hiawatha.

Then he called to old Nokomis

And Iazoo, the great boaster,

Showed them where the maize was growing,
Told them of his wondrous vision,

Of the friend of man, Mondaiiim,

Which should be their food forever.

And made known unto the people

This new gift of the Great Spirit.

On the shores of Gitchee Gumee,

Of the shining big sea-water,

Stood .\okoinis, the old woman.

Pointing with her finger westward,

Spake these words to Hiawatha:

“Yonder dwells the Great Pearl Feather.
He it was who slew my father.

He, the mightiest of magicians,

Sends the fever from the marshes.

Take your bow, oh, lliawatha,
And avenge my father’s murder.‘
Straiglitway then my I‘Il:t\\‘:1ill£'l
Armed himself with all his war—geai'.
\Vest\vard then faced lliawatlia,
Swiftly flew the fatal arrow.

At the feet of Hiawzitha

Lifeless lay the Great Pearl Feather,
And the peopleof the village
\\'elcomed him with songs aiul (lCll‘iCB~,'.
.\l:1dc ajoyoiis feast and slioutcd,
“Honor be to lIiaw;1tlia.”

“As unto the how the cord is,

So unto the man is woman;
Though she bends him, she obeys him:
Though she tlraws him, yet she follows;
Useless each witliont the other."

Thus the youthful Hiawatha

Said within himself and pondered,
Then departed to the land of the Dacotahs,
To the land of handsonie woineu.
Striding o'er the moor and meadow,
At each stride a mile he uieasured:
Yet the way seemed long before him
And his heart outrun his footsteps.

At the doorway of his wigwani

Sat the ancient .-\rrow»maker,

In the land of the Dacotahs,

Making arrow heads of jasper.

At his side in all her beauty

Sat his daughter Minnehaha, '
Plaiting mats of flags and rushes.
Suddenly from out the woodlands
Hiawatha stood before them.

Then they talked of many subjects,
And Hiawatha, speaking slowly, said
To .\Iinnehaha’s father,

“Give me as my wife this maiden,
Lovcliest of Dacotah women.”

And the ancient Arrow-maker
Answered very gravely,

“Yes, if Mirinehaha wishes.

Let your heart speak, Minnehaha.”
And the lovely Laughing \\':iter
Seemed more lovely as she stood there.
Neither willing nor reluctant,

As she went to Hiawatha,

Softly took the seat beside him,
While she said, and blushed to say it,
“I will follow you, my husband."
This was Hi:1watha’s wooing.

Pleasant was the journey homeward:
Short it seemed to Hiawatha,

Though they journeyed very slowly.
Sing, oh song of Hiawatha,

Of the happy days that followed

In the land of the Ojibways,

In the pleasant land and peaceful.
Sing the mysteries of Mondanim,
Sing the blessings of the cornfield.
But the long and dreary winter,

0, the cold and cruel winter,

0, the wasting of the famine,

O, the blasting of the fever.

Into I-Iiawatha’s wigwam

Came two guests as silent as the ghosts were,
And the foremost said, “Behold me, I am
Faiuine!”
And the other said,“Behold me,I am Fever!”
Forth into the mighty forest

Rushed the maddencd Hiawatha,
Cried he with his face uplifted,

“Give your children food, 0 Father,
Give me food lor Minuehalia,‘

For my dying Miniiehahn.

And the (lesolate Hiawatha,

liar away aniirl the forest,

Heard the voice of Miiiiieliaha,
Calling, “liia\\'ittha, Ili:iw:itlia.”
llomeward hurried Iiiawatha,

And he rtishcrl into the r\'igw.int,
Saw his lovely Miiiiielializi

Lying cnlrl gtllll dead before him,

1

Aiid his bursting heart witliiii him

-1

l Uttered such a cry of anguish

That the forest moaned and shuddered,
That the very stars in heaven

Shook and trembled with his anguish.

By the shore of Gitchee Guinee,

By the shining Big Sea Water,

In the pleasant summer morning,

On the shore stood Hiawatha,

Turned and waved his hand at parting,
Launched his birch canoe for sailing,
Whispered to it, “VVestward, Westward,”
And the people from the margin
Watched him floating, rising, sinking.
Till the birch canoe seemed lifted
High into that sea of splendor,

Till it sank into the sea of vapors.

And they said, “Farewell, forever.”
Said, “Farewell, O Hiawatha."

Thus departed Hiawatha

To the Islands of the Blessed,

To the Kingdom of Ponemah.

To the Land of the Hereafter.

Housekeeping.

[The following essay was read by

I’I()llT~'L‘l{€€})Illg. whether good or bad,
is :1re:1lm where women rule and reign,
but no housekeeping is so good, so
perfe1:t :is where "women folks” and
--inun folks” live and labor liarnion-
iously together. The office of house-
keeper—being insepsiratbly connected
with that of homekeepcr, is indeed :1
responsible one, and she who performs
its duties with proficiency and cheer-
fulnt-ss (lcserves coiiiiiiendation. To
have the hands, the head, and the
heart under such pcrfet-t control that
the entire :1niount of household work
can bc pcrfornied s_vstcin:itic:illy and
tlioroughly without worry one must
know how to take the :1dv:int:1-gc of
cvcrytliing which can expedite or de-
1:rc.‘isc labor.

()nc ofmy convictions is that econ-
omy. skill. nc:1tncss:1nd good taste go
along way toward the accomplish-
merit. of the happiness and prospei'ity
which we all desire. These can be ex-
erciscd in the kitchen as well as any-
where else. A writer who utters
words of truth and sobcrness says,
“If you want heroes in our day, you
must look for them in the kitclien.”
Is not this so: does it not t:1ke as much
knowledge, with more courage, to do
well the work in the kitchen than any
other part of the liouse? In a good
many things connected with home, it
is :1 sensible plan to let style slip, and
hold fast to comfort. Truly no house-
keeper can succeed unless she have
system. To be careful in small mat-
ters and careless in greater ones is folly.
If we are going to economize the first
thing to do is to try to save in the
things that are the most valuable. To
be contented in the perforniziiice of
small duties and the 2ll)lllt_\' to make
the most of 1-vcrytliing, are two very
desirable 1'cquisitcs in the make up of
:1 happy and slit-,cesst‘iil lioiiscket-pet‘.
No good one will see ziuytliing waisted
—:1nything. liowcver trifling: wliich
tends to benefit or brighten the home
circle is worthy Oft'0llSltlCl‘:ltl0ll. The
kiiowlcdge that is gained by e.\'pcri-
once is :1 wonderful help in the man-
zigciiicnt of :1 household. but we may
often ztdd to our own hints trom the
experience of others. Let us live
within our iuezius: inaikc our <ll'C.'s‘.~‘, our
home. our furiiitiirc. our style of living
such as will not siibject us to struggle
:1iid:1i1xiet_v to keep up 2lp})0tll‘tlllI'e.~'.
It rc:1ll_\' takes but little to make home
happy. Our best peace and comfort
come from the most coiiimon lilessiiigs
of lifc. A th:1i1l<l'ul heart llllllies :1
happy life.

-‘A place for everytliing and every-
thing in its place," is an :id:1gc f:1mili:1r
to us all, and full of wisdom. But to
keep everything. and this is not al-
ways e:1.s_v to have. Many houses are
built with :1 lmiiciitable want ot'
closets. In planning :1 house they are
frequently an after tliouglit, and are
thrown in where space can best be at‘-
forded. If women could plan their
own houses there would be an ample
zillowance of closets; these, when tur-
nished with shelves, drawers and rows
of hooks are :1ii unspeakitble comfort
to the order loving housekeeper. It
takes time tocreate places to put thorn
in place, but not more time than it
takes to hunt them up when they may
be anywhere and everywhere, and be-
long nowhere. The szttisfactioii of
knowing that :it :1 inoment’s notice, in
the middle of the night or in broad
dayliglit, one can put her h:ind on
whatever in her domain is called for is
a great satisfactioii to the orderly
housekeeper, and one which she will
contrive in one way or another not to
do without.

Our housekeeping may be good or
bad, but our lives should be like the
ds1_vs—uiorc beautiful in the evening.
Or like the spi-ing——:1glow with
promisc,:1nd like :iutumn,'- rich with
golden sheaves when good works and
seeds have ripened on the field. Like
unexpected flowers that spring up
along‘ our p-.1thw:1y—full of freshiiess,
fr:1gr:1ncc and beauty. i\Ii1_v kind
words and gentle acts make glad our
homes; no iinittcr how humble the
abode, if it be filled with good will to-
ward each other our hearts will turn
longingly toward it. Our home, be
it ever so homely, ought to be the
dearest spot on carth.

The Soul's Reproof.

[The following was composed and read
before the Berlin Grange, by j. W. Kelley.
and by a resolution of the Grange. ordered
to be published]

One evening, despondent and weary,
I mused in the twilight alone‘.

My thoughls grew more doleful and dreary
Till peace from my spirit had flown.

I thought of the troubie and sorrow
That wait on life's fast fleeting years,
And all the bright hopes that each niorrow
Bediuis with the mist of our tears.

Poor mortals have nothing that's lasting,
And all that we love and enjoy

Have evils attending. or casting
Their shadows to blight and destroy.

The worm of decay is consuming
The works of our toil and our pride,
And death, yea! the young and the bloo1n—
ing,
Go down in its merciless tide.

The friends that our youth has been guiding
Must part from our love and trust,

And the heart that is true and confiding,
Will perish and inoulder in dust.

Existence, where is thy perfection?
Our joys are all mingled with woes,

The thorns are revealed in connection
\V'itli every fair glimpse of the rose.

We bask in the sunshine of pleasure,
To nourish the seed of our grief;

We struggle for riches, for treasure,
To banquet the moth and the thief.

We dote on the graces of beauty,
The coil of the serpent is there;

We follow the pathway of duty.
To droop in the shadow of care.

We rise on the wings of ambition,
And have but the further to fall‘,

\\'e cry from the proudest position:
O! vanity! vanity! all!

We rule in a palace of grandeiir;
Look down from :1 throne in tlisdaiiz,
Yet sorrow will mix with the splendor.
And ours be the plebeian’s pain.

We flee from the world and its faction,
In solitude we would be blest,

But the spirit still goads us to action,
O, where can we ever find rest?

0. is there no rest that is painless?
No peace that will always endure?

No course that is stormless and stainless?
No joy that is perfect and pure?

Ye stars, that above me are shining,
Tell me, is there not some retreat
Where mortals may cease from repining?
Where gall is not mixed with the sweet?

Thou moon, that looks pale on my sadness,
Seest thou in thy pity a plan?

A refuge, a region of gladness?
Prepared for unfortunate man?

The cold, silent stars were unheeding.
The moon had no tale to unfold,

The only response to my pleading,
Came Sfiolhing. yet stern from my soul.

L), foolish one. why art thou thinking,
That earth has an Eden of bliss,

\Vhy art thou mournfully linking,
Thy fate with a vain world like this.

Heed not the deceit of thy tlrdllllllllg.
Thy soul can not die with its clay.

Turn thou thy sad eyes to the glttilllllll”,
That ushers an immortal day.

Move on\\-':ird. meet bravely thy portion.
Tlioti hast but one trial to stand.

One voyage on life’s stormy ocean,
Eternity, waiting, beyond.

Jenks’ Dream.

Jeiiks had :1 queer dream the other
night. He thought he saw :1 prize
fighters‘ ring. and in the middle of it
stood :1 doughty little champion who
met and delibemtely knocked over,one
by one, :1 score or more of big, burly-
looking fellows, as they advanced to
the attack. Giants as they were in
size, the valiant pigmy proved more
than :1 match for them. It was all so
funny that Jeuks woke up laughing.
I-Ia siccounts for the dreain by the fact
that he had just come to the conclu-
sion, after trying nearly every big.
drristic pill on tll€l1lt'l1‘l{t‘,[, that 1’ici‘(:c"s

doctors said he was in Coiisumptioii,
and that they could do nothing for him,
but advised him, as a last resort, to try
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. After taking
this medicine, two or three inontlis, lie
was pronounced at well man. His health
remains good to the present day.

A Large City.

If any one were to walk one Way
tl11'o11gl1all the streets of London, he
would be obliged to go a distance of
2.000 miles. or as far as it is across the
.'\lll(3l'lt‘:lll contiiient from Neiv York
to San F‘:-aiicisco. This will give an
idea of what would li:1ve to be done in
order to see even the g1'eater part of
London.

In our approach to this city. as well
as in our rambles through its streets,
we shall not be struck so much by its
splendid :1i1d imposing :1ppcar:11ic,e as
by its iminensity. Go where we may,
there seems to be no end to the town.
It  tourteen miles one way and eight
the other, and contains a population of
nearly 4,000,000 people, which is great-
er, indeed, than that of Switzerland or
the kingdoms of Dei1i1i:1rk and Greece
combined. We are told 011 good au-
thority that there are more Seotchmen
in London than in Edinbiirgli. more
Irislnnen than in Dublin, and more
Jews than in Palestine, with foreign-
ers from every p:1rt of the world, in-
cluding a great number of Ainerieaiis.
Yet thereare so many Englislinien in
London that one is not likely to notice
the presence of these people of other
iiatioiis. ‘ ‘

This vast body of citizens, some so
rich that they can notcouiit their mon-
ey, and some so poor that they never
have any to count, eat every year four
hundred thousand oxen, one and a half
million sl1ecp,cight million chickens
and game birds, not to speak of calves,
hogs, and different kinds of fish. They
consume five hundred million oysters.
which, though it seems like a large
nuinbei-,wo1ild only give, it‘ equally
divided among all the people, one oys-
ter every third day to each persoii.
There are three hundred thousand ser-
vants in Lond0n—enougli to make a
large city; but as this giuos only one
servant to each dozen citizer..'s,it is quite
evidcitt. that a great many of the poo-

Jenks’ Dream.

Jenks had a queer dream the other
night. He thought he saw :1 prize
fighters’ ring, and in the middle of it
stood a doughty little cliaiiipioii who
met and deliberately knocked over_.one
by one, a score or more of big, burly-
looking fellows, as they advanced to
the attack. Giants as they were in
size, the valiant pigmy proved more
than a match for them. It was all so
funny that Jenks woke up laughing.
He accounts for the dream by the fact
that he had just come to the conclu-

sion, after trying nearly every big,.

drastic pill on theinarket, that Pierce’s
tiny 1’urg:1tivt.- Pellets easily “knock
out” and beat all the rest hollow!
