Guardian Angels Bl' NETTIE C. MAYNARD.' They areealling ns—they are calling • In the loved tones of yore,, With smiling lips they beckon us To yonder peaceful shore; And seeing that we linger— Or that we erring, stray, They hasten o'er Death’s ft ver To lead us by the way. ’ Thy’re calling us-r-they'rc cajling. And bid us to fulfill The many heavy duties That taxes mind and will; One hand they give to aid us, Along life's thorny way 7 , The other, poiqjing upward, To realms of endless day. They’re calling us—they're calling, Oh, hasten, to reply, In loving acts of kindness To check the tear, and sigh; And when our task is ended, We ll hasten Home above, To wear the wreath, the Angels Are twining now in love.

Married Women's Love. The province in which the gen | ins of Mrs. Barrett Browning attained superlative and unique per- ■ lection, is that of deliniations : of love in the married woman. ‘•The love of wedded souls.” This, next to God's love, is for her the central heart of life, tlip solar fount of all those loves which are the light of the world, “loves filial, loves fraternal, neighbor loves and civic.” In “Lady Geraldine’s Courtship’’ it is the passion of lovers she depicts ; but with instinctive truth to the woman’s ideal, she puts the narrative of the courtship into the mouth of the lover, pot of Lady Geraldine. A man, she felt, must be the describer of courtship, for man’s part is to struggle for the prize and win it. But in the “Romaunt of the Page” and the “Rhyme of the Duchess May,” works in which the utmost force of ' her genius is displayed, the hero- ■ ism. the self sacrifice, the passion- | ate, death-scorn devotion of wifely love of the wife bears her to the battle field to share the peril of the husband and io guard his life. The luxurious delicacy and daintiness—the refined yet cruel selfish—of man’s conception of what woman's love should be, then reveals to her that, by the mere grandeur and intrepidity of her love, she has forfeited the supreme regard of her husband. Life has now become intolerable for her. and she dies; but her love for him never wavers, and her hist words are in praise. The Duchess May is one of the finest female characters in the whole range of literary art. All the strength and till the tenderness, all the womanly humil- ! ity, all the capricious fascination and wild, splendid witching ways which breathe enchantment round the female form, arc hers. She ■ announces with princely disdain j that slier’will not marry the man ! she does not love; with calm and dauntless decision she places her hand at the altar in the hand of the i man she does love; and once his I she can smile out into the night of calamity still and fearless as a star. In the hour of extreme need she will die with her husband ; such is her right, and she asserts it, dying i with him, she dies victorious and content. 1 believe that Mrs. Browning was capable of that death aud of that devotion. With the thrill of sympathy she threw the crimson of a smile upon that wife as she sank to death in her husband’s arms. Woman’s love can make the chariot of death a ' car of triumph, and convert the Hames of the funeral pyre into clasping roses. In the Duchess May/ standing to us for Mrs. ‘ Browning, we witness what love can be in woman's genius.

The Duty of a Mother. She should be firm, gentle, kind, always ready to attend to her child. She should never laugh at him, at what he does that is winning; never allow him to think of his looks, except to be neat and clean in all his habits. She should teach him to obey a look; to respect those older than himself, she should never make a command without seeing it is performed in the right manner. Never speak of a child's faults or foibles, or repeat his remarks before him. It is a sure way to spoil a child. Never reprove a child when excited, nor let your tone of voice lie raised when correcting?' Strive to inspire love not dread; respect, not fear. Re ; member you are training and educating a soul for eternity.

WHAT IS A LUXURY How the “Protection” System Works. The Boston Reform League’has begun the publication ofa“/Jroadside' which is a very lively and interesting sheet, full of facts, showing up the monopolists who, under the cry of “proection to native industry,’ oppress the people Here for instance, in an article showing that while the poor man pays an exorbitant high tax, therich man is “protected” by a much lower duty, the Broadside says : By a sort of common consent, both the high tariff part and the free traders agree that silk goods are a iuxtirv, and it is therefore supposed that they stand highest on the list of textile fabrics upon which taxes are imposed under our tariff, the rate being sixty per cent advalorem; bit this is very far from being the case. The duties upon carpets are much higher. L T pon a cheap a tapestry carpet, costing in England 57 cents, per yard, the duty is 41 cents, upon a Brussles it is 6!) cents and on liorkings, druggests, fel ings, and other low priced goods, the duties are so high as to amount to prohibition. Upon -coarse, heavy broadcloth the duty is stat ed by Air. E Hvard Harris, a most skillful manufacturer, to amount to 133 per cent. Upon a cheap poplin, a fabric made of cotton and worsted, cost ing six pence sterling, or about fourteen cents p‘er yard in England, the duty is one hundred and twenty-five per cent. Which is priced poplin dress, the coarse broadcloth, the common carpet, or the silks and satins at sixty per cent, dutv?

Why this dift’erence ? Because an attempt has been made to deprive comsmners of their supply of the cheap clothing and combing wools of their countries by a duty ’’ which is almost prohibitory, while I the carpet wools arc still admitted: to force our own manufacturers to use wool raised here at far higher cost, and unfit for many; purposes for which tGrcign wools are absolutely needed, and have thus crippled and almost destroy ed several blanches of manufacturing which were successfully established under a low tariff; ■ and lastly, to compensate the wool manufacturer for ail the disadvantages thus imposed upon him. by forcing his customers to pay double or treble price for the goods they need. What has been the result? An over supply of one kind of wool chiefly raised by us t and dearness of other kinds, and a check to the diversity of employment in the manufacture of woolen and worsted goods in this country, with a good measure of protection to the spinners of Etirope, to whom we have sent a full supply oj cheap South American and other wool. The furniture and wooden ware which ayc used to sell to South America for wool are now made in Bohemia and Germany; the boots and shoes in France, and the cotton goods in England, and as our direct trade has been almost de stroyed, we have ceased to send the butter, cheese and flour, which used to form a considerable portion’of every South American aud South African cargo; but we pay for what we still import from these and other countries in gold and cheap bonds. For these we havetaken out a patent, and no other country cares to compete with 1 us, as they all admit we have sue- 1 ecedcd in establishing our own dis- ■ credit in the most complete man/ ncr possible.

Four Days Deliberation.

In one of the old Dutch settlements of Mohawk Valley, a very honest old farmer of the Little Four Corners was elected Jus tice of the Peace. It was not sup posed that Squire V. ’ had amass-' ed much legal learning, but he was; quite noted for his unsophisticated honesty and frankness—indeed, a blunt Duchtnan, whose heart never erred, but whose head had very little connection with it in the administration of his official functions. It happened that his first | case was quite hotly contested by I lawyers on Loth sides. They sum med it up elaborately, and after they got through quoting from “Cowen's Treatise,” the barroom of the hotel (his office) being crowded with eager «q>ccUitors, to hear the .first decision of the new Justice, the old man deliberately folded up his docket, put it under his arm, lit his pips, and said: “Veil, shentleiuen. I shall take four days to decide, bat shall eflentually find shugciDcnt for de plaintiff"

Getting Dinner for a Minister The following is a good illustration of the free and easy habits of pioneer life. Some families might i feel relieved if they could obtain 1 a supply for their tables, when entertaining the minister, on as easy terms: Mr. Bascom traveled two years in the mountainous regions of Kentucky. The country was rough and the people generally poor. But the romantic wilderness of the country was congenial to his feel : ings, and he enjoyed the rude hos ' pitality of'the sincere hearted for- .■ esters. He used to tell, with much ap parent pleasure, of a dinner he enjoyed with particular satisfaction. He was preaching on one occasion : in a cabin, which was at once a ! church and ifwelling. The people j were listening with seriousness and j attention to the truths of the gos- ' pel, when in the very midst of his ; sermon his host, who sat near the ; door.suddenly rose from his seat, snatidied the gun from the wooden j brackets upon '.vhich, it lay against the joist, went hastily out and fired j it off. aud returned, put the gun in ■ its place and quietly seated himself' to hear the .remainder of the ser-1 mon. i The whole affair hardly consum el as much time as it requires to read this account of it, and in a very few moments all was goingon smoothly as if no interrup- j tion has occurred. After service ;

was ended, Bascom inquired of flic . man the meaning of his strange ’ conduct. “Sir,” said he, “we are entirely out of moat, and I was perplexed to know what we should give you for dinner, and it was preventing me from enjoying the sermon, when the Good One sent a flock of wild turkeys this way ; I happened to see it, took my gun and killed two at a shot ; my mind felt easy, and I enjoyed the remainder of the sermon with satisfaction." A A remarkable story cjmes from Bodega Bay, California, of a terrific battle between a sperm whale and a number of sword fish, which resulted in the defeat of the whale. The fight was witnessed by a farmer plowing in his field near the coast, only a few miles north of the “Golden Gate.” The sea was ' smooth, and the first indication of the-conflict was a commotion in the water nearly a mile from shore, i but as the combatants rapidly approached the land, their movements became distinctly visible. The swordfish were five in number; Ac whale + ..tUaitgh-4Ul^ vi ugdir > ”d activity, was no match for them. In making their thrusts into the side of the whale, the swordfish ' kept clear of his tail, one blow from which would have been fatal to either of them. With maddening fury, the whale struck right . and left, then dived to escape his tormentors; but they followed quickly, and soon brought him to the surface. Blood was seen spirting from deep gashes in his sides, the contest lasted nearly one hour, when the whale, with a mighty effort, flung himself upon some low rocks and soon died.* Many persons from the neighboring village of I’eteluma went out to view the carcass. It was fifty or sixty feet in length, and there were gashes two feet deep .and six feet long in its sides. A Singular Fact. The peach was originally a poisoned almond. Its fleshy parts were used to poison arrows, and the fruit was for this purpose introduced into Persia. The trans portation and cultivation, however, not only removed its poisonous qualities, but produced the delicious fruit we now enjoy. We take the above from the Tl’averli: .V' : i tztrtc of the 30th of Jan > uary. 1869. We had often heard it said that the planting of a peach stone ou this island would produce the almond, such as may lie seen in the custom house grounds, on this island, and in several of the yards occupied by citizens. We are willing to be qualified on oath that some IS months ago , we planted two peach stones as an experiment for raising the peach ’ on this island ; we now have in lieu of the peach, the coarse, liard-stou- i cd almond, similar to those above , mentioned. We are not aware of any poisonous qualities in this al mond, although we have heard of children having died from the es- . sects of eating them, which might j have occurred from almost any; other green fruit ia excess. We , have eaten the fruit ourself without ever having l«een poisoned. Can any of our friends throw light upon the subject?—A'cy ITcjf PT j pntch.

The Democratic Prospect In I "“‘"k The spirt of the Democratic press of Ohio indicates an encouraging prospect. The Un/'owsnys: The prospect for the coming catn- ■ paign should now be examined into. For years past it has not been so"'" cheering. The Radicals by strenuous cxertations »tjcceeded in electing Ulysses Grant lo the Presidency last fall, and already from all side we hear the howls of disappointment. The Radical press is filled with virtuperous I abuse of the President, and disap- ' pointed office-seekers are fast dc- ' set ting the Radical ranks. Let the Democracy but stand linn to their posts; divided as it now is by personal feu Is, the Republican party in Ohio will, at the coming ! election, be withstmd the solid determination, and onward advance of justice and right. A Prudent Experiment. I ' A gentleman of Oshkosh, Wis- . consm, bring fatigued with this ! present state of existence, prb- ■ ceeded to a neighboring stream ! with a view of trying the water ! cure as a remedy for the ills ■ which his flesh had inherited. He ' had the prudence, however, before trustillghimself an to element which might not, in case he should rue, : cheerfully consent to a release, to ; try the experiment with a boulder. ’ Not liking the splash which followi ed the immersion of his vicarious ■ representative, he reviewed his de ' termination, returned dry to the I bosom of bis family. The plan was a prudent one, and perhaps, ' although not perfectly satisfetory iii a scientific point of view, the i best that could be tried to obtain , an-answer to the question how he liked it as far as he had gone. , _ —. ——

Grant's new organ, 11 The hnpe- | ri'itlist," praises the Grand Army j of the Republic, and tells precisely the number of fighting men it can bring into the field at “an hour's notj.ee." It says : “It is adiscii plined army of four Irundrcd i thousand strong. This silent, unnoticed army garrisons the entire North.” Certain cabalistic notices have clearly indicated before that this advocate of monarchy was the confidential organ of the “Grand Army of the Republic.” The Grand Army of the Republic, drilling to overthrow the Republic and establish a monarchy,- is a really fitting finale to the reign of universal hypocraey and deviltry r which has been supreme ever since ' the,regime of old Satan and Radicalism in this country, which has been very prominent for the last i eight years. A few days ago a lady arrived at one of the passenger depots in Dayton, Ohio, just as the train on which she desired to take passage moved away. As she stood gazing on the train, her arms full of packages and her eyes full of tears, a gentleman arriveftat the depot on . a full run, with. his carpet sack in his hand, his coat on 11is arm and liis face streaming with perspiration, lie. too, wanted to take the same train, but was too late. As he looked on the train, fast moving , away, he sat down his carpet-bag, I wiped his face, and very deliberately and emphatically said : “D—n that train !” The lady heard him, and smiling upon him with much sweetness, said : “Thank you, lie had evidently expressed her sentiments exactly. A blind horse wandered into White River, at ludiannplis, and, getting beyond his depth, swam around in a circle, trying to find his wavxnit. His distress attracted another, horse not far away from the bank, who first went to the water's edge and tried to direct the blind horse by neighing. Failing --in this, he took to the water, and swam out to his relief, and, wfter swimming around him for nearly a quarter of an hour, he finally got the blind horse to understand in what direction the land lay, and the two horses caint 1 to shore side by side, amid the cheers ot upwards of a hundred of persons who had become spectators. 1 Last week, while a Mrs. Rogers, of Phelps county. Mo., was in the garden, with an infant, fourteen months old, seated near her, an , eagle swooped down and attetnped to'carry off the child, but was pre vented by a dog which came to its assistance and fought -valiantly’ in its defense.
