The netting nan, with dying beams. Had waked the purple bill to are, And citadel and doom and spire Were glkbd by the far-off gieam; And lu and out dark pine trees crept Full many a slender line 'f gold; Gold motes athwart the river swept. And kissed It 8s it onward lolled; And sunlight lingered, loth to go. Ah ! well, it cauwtb forrow To pait from those we love below; And yet the snn as bright shall glo'f To-morrow ! The tide was ebbing on the strand. And stooping low its silver crest; The crimson seaweed lay at rest TJpon the amber ribbed sand; Dallied o'er the jocks and on theshore Flung parting wreaths of pearly spray, Then fled awa : yet turned once more And sent a Mxht acros the bay, .As though it could t.ot bear to go. Ah! well, it causeth sorrow To part with those we love below. Yet thitherward the tide Miall llow To-morrow ! Two hearts have met to say farewell Ate-en when the sun wentdown; Each life found from the busy town Smote sadly as a pawning bell. One whispered : Parting is sweet pain At morn and eve leturns the tide;" "Nay ! parting rends the heart in twain." And Mill they liuger side by side, And still they linger, lo'h to go. Ah ! well, it ca- seth sorrow To part with thoe we love below .For shall we ever meet or no To-morrow? HTATK SEWS. The city debt of Fort Wayne is $000,000. . Bnrlarj and confidence men infest North Vernon. Wheat and pork are extremely cheap at Corydon. Scarlet fever seems to be prevalent in Valparaiso. Corn is worth 30 cents a bushel at Columbus, and none is offered. Diphtheria is prevailing in Fort Wayne to quite an alarming extent. Mexican dollars are 'circulating freely in and around Fort Wayne. Chicken thieves are disturbing poultry roosts all over the country. The new foundry at the Jefferaonville penitentiary is about completed. Farmers about Mitchell complain of the wheat being injured by the fly. The wheat at Wea is looking remarkably "well and promises a rich harvest. Farmers around Lafayette report the wheat prospects are encouraging. The Christian church at . Bloomington .have had a split on the organ question. Whooping cough and attendant evils afflict the juvenile population of Jeffersonville. The prospect for a bountiful harvest in the Vicinity of Connersville, is very flattering. Thousands of wild $ee?e are reported on White river, about six miles below Columbus. An effort is being nude to extend the North and South railroad through Warren county. Six thousand seven hundred and fifty-one of the school children of Indiana are colored. There are 9,490 school houses in Indiana, 413 of which were erected daring the year 1377. The Catholics of Clinton county are toon to commence the erection of a church at Frankfort The Lafayette Dispatch says that diphtheria is once more assuming an epidemic form in Logansport. One of the largest hog raisers in Warren county estimates he loss from hog cholera . last year at over $75,000. A teacher in Fraire township, Warren county, was fined one cent the other day for whipping a refractory pupil. Mrs. Bedell, wife of Frank B'dell, of the Crown Point Register, will graduate as a physician about the 1st of March. Considerable quantities of maple syrup have been manufactured at various points in the state during the mild winter weather. Since the temperance work began in Fort Wayne 9.001 pen-ons have signed the pledge. 'The work commenced the lo'th of March, 1877. Knox County Record: Five years ago the Petersburg folks subscribed $19,000 in one week for a railroad, and they haven't got it jet Crawfordsville Review: The iron bridge -across Riack creek, north of the city, will be completed the preseut week and will be .ready to receive travel. Lebanon Pioneer The horse buyers are 'taking ail of the best horses out of the country. It looks like a shame to see a good horse sell for $30 or $J0. The ice dealers of Lafayette propose a new departure. The plan is to have tickets, the same as milkmen or bakers, and thus secure the pay as they go along. No tickets, no ice. .Harmony Item: Our people are now agitating the question of building sidewalks In -our town. This is an improvement which has been long needed, and we hope it will vbe done. Lebanon Pioneer: Times are hard, the roads are impaisable and money is exceedingly scarce and hard to get. and many people have starvation staring then in the iace. This is the situation to da v. Wabash (Daviess county) Democrat: As Henry Ward Beecher passed through this city Thursday some over curious people crowded into the coach he was in to get a eight at the lion. The great pulpit and plat form orator drew bis cloak over his bead and refused to be stared at. Crawfordsville Journal: The stone work and grading of the approaches have been completed on Black cm-k bridge at Fullen's. Workmen are now engaged in potting up the iron structure which it is thought will be completed this evening. Crawfordsville Journal: A large amount of tile ditching is Wing done in some portions of tne ccutity. Undulanrg as the co jnty is there is scarcely a farm in the county but would be greatly enhanced if it had a thorough tysteni of underdrainage. Crawfordsville Journal: The iron bridge across Sugar creek has been repaired by put ing in additional iron floor beams, lattice po-1 for bracing and an entire new web system for lateral bracing. It has been done at the cost of about $000. The bridge is now considered safe. ' Terr Haute Expr-M: By the middle of this week will be completed the grade in this county of the new C, I. and I. M rail way. Ten miles of grade ill thus b-i ready for the track, leaving only the tbrte miles in Clay county to be built Farmers are hauling ties to all points on the line. North Vernon Plaindealer: Mr. Luther Davis, of Campbell township, informs us that he never saw in this country a better f rospect for a wheat crop than this year's, t has grown finely. a:.d if the hat froth) and thaws do not injure it all will be well. The acreage ij much above the average. Tloop'ston Chronicle: In some portions of Iroquois county the roads have been impassible so long people were unable to pro cure coal and ued corn for fuel instead. They were also rompelkd to grind corn ia a coffee mill in order to procure enough to live upon. Ia several localities residents

were absolute prisoners, being unable to navigate even on horseback. There never was such a time known before. It ia probable, says the Lafayette Journal, that the depositors of the Delphi bank will be paid in full witnin the next six month Two dividends of 23 per cent, have already been made. Lafayette Dispatch: Fiddler, of Culver station, reports the wheat looking exceedingly promising at this time. The fall of snow was just the thing, and fears are not now entertained of daniase of freezing. Columbus Democrat: The wheat will look as green and fresh as a daisy after the snow goes off. The farmers already complain that there is too much old wheat in the county. What say the people who are paying starvation prices for flour? Seme of the energetic farmers around Greensburg are thinking ofhaving a poultry show come time during the present month. As the interest in the show is rapidly increasing the farmers will undoubtedly make a grand success of their undertaking. People's Friend: Some of the heavy taxpayers of Montgomery county are calling for an investigation of the affairs of the county officials with the view of ascertaining whether they have been conducting their business honestly or otherwise. This is civil service reform at home, and Eeems right and just Farmers throughout the state have taken a firm stand; either the dogs must be killed off, or thev will stop raising sheep. So much mischief has been done to flocks of fine sheep by worthless curs recently that the raisers are completely discouraged. Why not appoint a dog killing day, and do the work up thoroughly. The case of Gynn, the detective, against some 10 or 12 citizens of llarrodsburg, in which the plaintiff claimed that defendants were indebted to him in the sum of $100 for services in ferreting out and arresting a band of thieves in that town, was given to the jury on Tuesday of last week, and a verdict rendered for defendants. Rockport Democrat: A petition has been filed in the commissioners' court praying that North Rock port be vacated. North Rock port was bought and laid off by Cincinnati capitalists on the ''speculation idea," but the project friled owing to John Sherman's idea of running the country. The delinquent tax on these lots now amounts to over $200. Madison Herald: At a meeting of the farmers of Hanover township, the 26th of last month, to take action in regard to furnishing enough milk to put the wheels of the cheese factory (which is to be erected in the spring) in motion, the milk of 130 cows was subscribed to the enterprise. There seems to be no question that the factory will be built Fort Wayne Sentinel: The question was raised in tbe Van Buskirk case as to the power of the court to compel a prosecuting attorney to testify as to the evidence given before the grand jury. Judge Borden decided that the court had the power, and accordingly Mr. Hench testified. The latter has decided to take the question to the supreme court for tne purpose of having it settled, and is now engaged in preparing a brief. Richmond Free Tress: Rush county is one of the wealthiest counties in agricultural resources in the state, but the "financial pressure has reached that locality, and a number of those who were regarded as wealthy farmers have been forced to make assignments of their property for the benefit of their creditors. Among those who assigned this wees were .rland, Alleander and Simon Cassaday. Tl e.e is now $."0,000 worth of real estate adve t'sed by the sheriff of that county. Crawfordsville Review: John R. Robinson, former trustee of this township, has instituted suit against the township for $14,000, which sum he claims was due him when he turned over tbe books to his successor. Some grave questions are likely to arise pending this suit, and new issues will come up that will be important to trustees generally. The office of trustee is one of importance and great responsibility. A sharp contest will be made over this suit and the case will probably go to tbe supreme court Patoka:- During the past few weeks some little excitement was noticeable in our community over the probable purchase of the Bingham brothers' distillery property for a starch or syrup factory. One or two propositions were made our citizens by a party, the conditions of which, under the present financial depression, it would be impossible to comply with. Other parties are investigating the matter, and it is possible that our manufacturing interest may be increased in some shape before the opportunity is lost. Connersville Times: As previously announced, the Fayette county teachers' association will meet in this city on the 10th inst Professor Brown, of Indianapolis, state geologist, will deliver an interesting lecture on the geology of the state, and Professor Bell, editor of the Indiana School Journal, will deliver a lecture in the interests of the schools of the state. Others will speak on different topics. Invitations have been sent to all the adjoining counties, and a general good and profitable time is expected to be had among the fraternity. Oak Grove, Benton county: Tbe weather continues warm and tha roads bad. but not so bad as to prevent some of our farmers from hauling corn to market at the reduced price of 27 centi. This is certainly tbe age of rata and mice. They are doing much barm to orchards, grain and hedges. Much of the shock corn in this section is almost entirely destroyed by them. We are looking forward to planting time with much fear as to their movements next spring. Let their be a war of extermination waged among them. Terre Haute Ledger: Ferdinand township, in Dubois county, cou tains only a single republican voter. And it is a democratic paradise. There are more newspapers taken at the post office than all tbe rvst of the post offices in the county. There is not a loafer or drinking place throughout its precincts. There is not a pan per on the trustee's charge. No note for money loaned to a neighbor ia taken, and no interest is asked. The bouses are neat and the floor of the kitchens shine in whiteness. We invite the attention of the worthy republican orators to this oasis in the desert of this world, and then request them to cease the! rslanders as to democratic ignorance and crime. Wabash (Daviess county) Democrat: Messrs. S. L.. Campbell and Jed. Heberd, of Cincin nati, two of the projectors of tbe Petersburg and Washington railroad, arrived in our city on Wednesday night and went over the line to Petersburg on Thursday. This road is intended to be narrow three feet gauge, and to run 'roni Petersburg to Washington, through Washington, PUinville, Owl Prairie tn 1 Newberry. Messrs. Camp bell and IleberJ are men of energy and responsibility, and tbe manner in which they take hold of this enterprise is at leat encouraging. They state they are ready to go to work and construct the road immediately if the townships through which the road ia to pass will vo'e the two percent, tax. They say they will commence work this spring and by the time the tax is levied and collected will have the line done and t .e cars running. As a guarantee of good faith they propose to deposit a sum of money equal to the election expenses in this towns'.lp, to be forfeited to tbe toweship in casi they fail to construct the rotd after tbe township votes the tax. There is some pre judice against a narrow gauge road, but our citizens should not make tip their minds too hastily. Narrow gauge roads are decided success wherever tried, and the matter will be thoroughly and fairly discussed before a vote Is taken.

A QUAKER GRAVEYARD.

A rOEX BY DR. WIER MITCHELL. Foor straight brick walls severely plain, A quiet city square surrounded ; A level space of nameless graves. The (Quakers' burial ground. In gown ot gray or coat of drab They trod the common ways of life, With passions held in sternest lash, And hearts that knew no strife. To yon grim meeting house they fared. With thoughts as sober as their speech ; To voiceless prayer, to songlets praise. To hear the elders preach. Through quiet length of days they came, With scarce a chance to their reoose; Of all tile's lov lines they took The thorn without the rose. But in the porch and o'er the graves Glad rings the southward robin's glee; And sparrows All the autumn air With merry mutiny. While on the grave of drab and gray The red and gold of autumn He, And wilful nature decks the sod In gentlest mockery. February Atlantic. ALL SORTS. Nothing but a good life can fit men for a better one. Taxes were paid in Great Britain last year upon 1,399,330 dogs. A prudent man is like a pin. His head prevents him from going too far. Some day woman suffrage will be as big a bone of contention as silver is now. Whenever you have 10 minutes td spare go and bothersome one who hasn't. When a girl begins to take an interest in the arrangement of a young man's necktie, it is an infallible sign of something more serious than sisterly regard. This is tbe time of year when men who haven't spoken to you for many long months take you by tbe band affectionately and inquire after yourself and family. The commissioner of patents in his annual report recommends that models be dispensed with in applications for patents, as they form no pari of the patent, and when issued are expensive and difficult to preserve. Mr. Donald G. Mitchell has been offered a position on the commission to the Paris exhibition, and Captain James B. Eads, tbe builder of the Mississippi jetties, has been appointed honorary commissioner for Mis souri. The error in time of tbe great clock at Westminster, London, amounts to only about four seconds in tbe year. Probably there is no other clock in the world of which this can be truthfully said. The weight of the pendulum is G80 pounds. The pope refused to allow tbe priests serving in the Basilicas to repeat prayers for Victor Emanuel under the form pre rege nostro on the ground that they would thU9 seem to sanction the extinction of the temporal power. The funpral ceremony ras attended, it is said, by 150,000 persons. The following "death notice" is translated literally from a Zurich newspaper: "I communicate to all my friends and acquaintances the fad news that at 3 p. m. to-morrow I shall incinerate, according to all the rules of art, my late mother-in law, who has fallen asleep with faith in her Lord. The fune al urn will be placed near the furnace. The profoundly afflicted son-in-law, BrandolfLichtier." This characteristic little letter of Horace Greeley's has just got into print, written to a Hartford man who wanted to engage him for a lecture nine years ago: "I prefer not to lecture in so large a place as Hartford unless I am really wanted there; and the fact that 1 am asked to lecture for half price convinces me that I am not wanted. So let me wait a year or two, till I shall be more in demand in your city than I now am." An odd figure in the ceremony of the Harnett Shoemaker wedding at Baltimore w as that of the bride's train bearer. This was "Mammy Grade," an ancient colored woman, who has cared for the youngsters of three generations in the Shoemaker family. She marched proudly up the aisle with a new bandanna handkerchief of gorgeous colors on her head, and when the party reached the altar Mammy Gracie took her stand beside the president of the United States. The other day an odd circumstance came to my ears which may give a needed hint to some great corporations. The San Francisco minstrels, famous all over the world for their fun, have no treasurer. Every Saturday night the bills are settled, and the profits are then and there divided among the members of the company, leaving in the treasury just nothing. Just like a lot of humorous brigands, you know. Now, if some of the railroads and savings banks, and other institutions, would do the like, there might be fewer defalcations. A poor woman lay very ill in her scantily furnished home in Sheffield. The doctor was sent for and came. He at once saw that hers was a very grave case, and that she had, as he thought, little chance of recovery even if she could get the nourishment ber illness required. As be was about to leave, the question was put, "When shall we send for you again, doctor?" "Well," was the reply, as be looked at the poor woman and then at her wretched curroundings, "I don't think you need send for me again. She can not possibly get better; and to save you further trouble. I'll just write you out a certificate for her burial." And he did. After the doctor departed, the woman women always were wilful got better rapidly. She has now completely recovered, and goes about carrying her burial certificate with her. A singular coincidence recently happened in a store at Woonsocket A man entered name Tupper, and a young man standing by sjid: "I wonder if you are any relation to a young man of that name who was in the army with me?" "Yes," said the man, "I had a son of that name who was in the army and was shot in one of the battles near Richmond. I have been to Wasbinton several times, but have been unable to fiud any one who knew bow or where he fell." "Well," said the young man, "I was his mate and he was shot down at my side, in almost the last engagement we had with Lee's army. It was in a charge, and be fell and was trampled under foot, but I returned afterward and found bis body and planted a stick upon the si ot where be was buried." The old man was rejoiced t- hear In this manner the tidings for which he had so long (ought in vain, and insisted on taking the young man home with him and introducing him to his family. New York city's population is about 1,200,000. The number of families living in the city is i85,789; dwelling houses, 07,20il; houses containing three or more families ar? c'assed as tenements, and number 20,000, with a population of 500,000. Of this number 623 .108 were born in the United stares, while 40 different nationalities supp'y a foreign population of 419.01)1 Durin the past year there were 20 000 marriages. 33 000 birlbs and 30,709 (k-atbs. The total value of proierty within the city limits is set down as $1,101,092 003, paying taxes to the amount of $;i2,OO,000 There are 489 places of rel'gious worship one church for every 2 045 of tbe population. There are 418 8bath school, wi'h an atteudance ol 115 820 pupils; 122,997 children are iustruct ed in th public schools, at ao expense of nearly fi 000 000. A careful estimate gives 10,000 children Ivling in the streets uncared for. Of drinking saloons, licensed and otherwise, there are 7,874. absorbing about $00,000,000 a year, while the total cost of upporting the 489 churches is less than 15,000,000 per annum. This would give each boy and girl lathe city a capital of $900 to

start life with. To these saloons is chargeable 75 per cent of tbe pauperism and crime of the city. Tbe city authorities the commissioners of public charities and correction require $300,000 annually to maintain tbe public institutions the almhones, hospitals and prisons. There were 92,830 arrests by the police during the past year. Of tbe 47,5fi9 persons committed to tbe city prison, 35,670 wr re of intemperate habits. Tbepolie stations lodged 185,124 persons; 22,732 outdoor poor were relieved. It is an interesting fact that there are very few persons in the world possessing a peculiar keenness of vision enabling them to see certain planets with the unaided eye. People with the ordinary power of sight usually see six of the stars of the Tleiades; Kep!er mentions cue person, who, with the naked eye, could see fourteen, and Littrow another who saw sixteen. Dr. Dawes, an EnglLsh clergyman and astronomer, was remarkable for his powers of oistinguisbing very faint spots of light; and Mr. Q. M. Ward, an amateur astronomer in the north of Ireland, is known among scientific men for having viewed two of tbe four moons of Uranus with so small and simple a help as a fourinch telescope. In this country Mr. S. W. Burnham, of Chicago, is noted for the particularly acute vision which reveals to him double stars. The astronomers of other lands often call upon him to decide vexed questions relating to these stars. The Springfield Republican says a curious case of domestic infelicity was revealed ia that city the other day, the alleged result of the Murphy meetings. A sad visaged man called at a bouse where he had heard "a healthy infant" had been left till a home could be found for it, and asked to see the baby. Taking the child on his knee he remarked, after carefully examining it: "You are not my baby; I hoped you was." Then he explained to the wondering family as follows: "My wife and I were happy with each other and the baby till tbe meetings began. Then she insisted on going to them all, and I stayed at home with tbe baby. After awhile she began to scold me for not going myself. I told her I couldn't as long as she went, and when I was free to go out I wanted to choose my own places of resort. Then the old mother in-law came in between us, and I finally told my wife that I couldn't ttand it any longer, and that we must separate. So she went off with the baby, and I don't care to see her again, but I do want my child, and I didn't know but she had left it here."

REHOXKTIZATIOX. General Tom Enlng In New Tork. Tribune's Reportl x General Thomas Ewing was first introduced, and was received with vociferous cheers. In brief for he spoke until 10 minutes after 10 o'clock he said: "Congress has two public duties to perform. One is to restore the ancient silver dollar just as it was, the other to repeal the resumptioa scheme. The vast national debtj of the world, owned outside of the countries contracting them, are held by a few hundred German, English and French capitalists. The United States produces GO per cent, of the silver product of the world, and ia the greatest debtor nation. These capitalists said to themselves, 'how can we make her cut her own throat by demonetizing silver?' They solved the problem somehow, but just how, we can't tell Cheers, They got an innocent 'coin act' through in 1S73. Then the codifiers of the laws secretly tlipped in a measure which forbade tbe coinage of the old silver dollar Cries of 'dhame'. This bundle of codified laws parsed the senate without being noticed, and in that bundle was the damnable fraud Cheers and cries of 'that's the talk'. When the outrage is brought to the light of day, these men by moneyed influences and through their organs, the press prolonged hisses, dare to turn upon the wronged and outraged people of this country an! call them scoundrels, while they set themselves up as persectued saints. "Take one of these demonetized dollars today," continued the speaker, "and it will bring more by 20 per cent thau it would in 1874 of everything except gold. We should be honest as a nation as well as individuals; but we stab our national credit when we al -low our creditors to come in and wrest from us what we never owed. There is not a bond of tbe United States that is not honest y and equitably payable in the old silver dol lar. Applause Are we to be cut off from the option ot paying them in either gold or silver? A voice, 'We shall have it.' We Lave got the option and we shall keep it! The remonetization of the old silver dollar is already a foregone conclusion. Great cheers. Outside of this little corner of the republic the people are unanimous for it tremendous applause, and it won't be CO days before silver will be restored to a currency of nndimmed monetary power. Cheers 1 "I will say, however, that I fear that the realization of a silver currency," continued General Ewing, "will disappoint both its friends and its enemies. A voice That's so.' Another sober voice new to the platform 'I hope so.' This threw the meeting into the wildest hilarity, General Ewing being put out and joining in the laugh. 1 can't say 'I hope so,' but it would be about the fair thing, about as fair for one as the other. Great Britain produces 00 percent, of the world's gold, and we GO per cent, of the werld's silver. Their aim was to ham string us and make our debt, held abroid, payable in a coin we could not com maud. The only way to take the weight of distress off of the people is to repeal the resumption act, which is shrinking up everything ia tbe land except the value of the dollar itself. To take from the people tbe control of the paper currency, and give it to that confederation A capitalists, the national banks, is to strike at the foundations of tbe republican system of government Chters. When England resumed specie payments, in 1819, she was the mistress of the peas and the merchant and manufacturer of the world. She owed nobody, while we owe everybody; she was re ceiving gold from all the world, while we are bending gold to all the world. And because we oppose resumption next New Year's we are cilled a lot ot lunatics by the press! Hisses and applause. They talk of over-production, with 3,000,000 of workipg people in rags, and 5,000,000 on half time! How preposterous! Cheers Wo had almost recovered from the panic of 1873, when the resumption act came, and with it each month brings an increase of hard times and bankruptcy. We have put on the shoulders of the d btor class three or four billions that they didn't owe, and this has been done by legislative rubbrry. Prolonged cheers. We already pay more taxes proportionate than any other people on the face of the earth. Keep on with the resumption act and not one savings bank out of five will be able to pay 25 cents on the dollar. "The greenback was issued in a crisis," the speaker concluded, "when gold and silver had fled. It was issued as money npplause and was the best money we ever had. Great applause "Thymine, 'tis yours, and has been slave to thousands.' Applause Does our faith and honor demand thatwe muet be dragged through hell to reach resumption on tbe first ot January? Cries tf 'No! no!' Is it not enough that we have doubled the purchasing power of their money? Must we quadruple it? If thee capitalist gt control of tue currency fiey will rule and rob ns and our children for ever. The act of demonetization was done in secret; the resumption scheme was concocted in Wall street and Lombard street. The people of the west and south are aroused and we want the men of the northeast td join us." Applause. There were loud calls for Mr. Coi, who was not present, whereupon a Mr. S. B Bray undertook to read a parody in thn style of the Book of Chronicles, entitled "Ye Wor hip of ye Golden Calf;" but he had not proceeded beyond three sentence before the audience fell to shouting, "Enough of the calf 1" and the meeting was adjourned.

HOME.

Home's not merely foursquare wa.'l. Though with picture hung and rv'ded; Home l- where affection cnlls. Filled with shrlies the heart hasbtu lQed. Home! go watch the faithful dove Sailing 'ueath the heaven above us; Home is where there's one to love; Home In where there's one to love us. Home's not merely roof and roomIt needs something toendear it: Home is where the heart can bloom, Where t bere'a some kind lip to cheer It, v hat is borne with none to meet; None to welcome, none to greet us? Heme Is weet and only sweet When there's one we love to meet us. JLXX'K AXD IL1LI'CK. BT W. W. STORY. Lnok's the giddiest of all creatures.

GEMS OF THOUGHT. llan doubles his evils by brooding upon them. Sure way to turn people's heads go late into church. A man may have much of the world and not be much of a man. Impatience dries the blood sooner than age or sorrow. Chapin. True goodness, like the glow worm, shines most when no eyes except those of heaven are upon it Probably one of the most trying times in a man's life is when he introduces bis second wife. 17 years old, to his eldest daughter, who is past 20. There ia much more to be said in favor of most men and creatures than we generally think. The trouble is that we care too little about lindingout the good things. "Hear, you ought to be ashamed to throw away bread like that You might want it some day." "Well, mother, would I stand any better chance of getting it then if I eat it up now?" To give up everything that is worth contending about, in order to prevent hurtful couteMions, is for tbe sake ot extirpating noxious weeds, to condemn the field to perpetual sterility. Whately. If any man supposes he can do all his duty to God, to the church and to the world, in "a manner so sweet and gentle, meek and wis, as not to meet opinon and engender persecution, let him try it and he will soon learn his mistake. Goldeu Nllence. "Speech is silvern but silence is golden," saith the proverb. Certainly a talent for holding one's tongue deserves high rank among negvive virtues. Many a man passes for wise simply by saying notbiug, and those who talk least make fewest enemies. True, sometimes we may repent our silence, but such rtpentence is rare compared to the frequency with which we array ourselves in nient.il sackclo'h becaue of incautious SDeeches. To adopt the rule once given to a ta'.kative girl by a friend who knew the world. "Never speak of yourself, and never say anything which is unnecessary," would seem at first likely to make Carthusian monxsana nuns of us all; yet it is to be questioned wheiher tbe advice were not wise. There are always people who like to talk, and good listeners are rare. It is said that Macuulay once rode half a day in a coach with a deaf mute, whom he afterwards pronounced a person of remarkable sound political views, and Madame de Stael on one occasion was induced t- harangue a wax fk'nre for an hour under the impression that i (the figure) was a gentleman who admired her writings and expressed a desire to become acquainted with the author. These stories may or may not be fact; certain it is that both of tbe great personages in question were fond of hearing themselves talk, and snfiicientiv egotistical not ta notice whether their remarks elicited more than silent acquiescence on the part of others. All savage nations place high value upon silence, and conversation is beyond doubt one of the ars of civilization. To know what to say and when to say it this is the sixth sense which shall awer its possessor stfely over hidden shoals and through breakers, and win for him the harbor of popularity. Fluency and garrulity, these are as different, as distinct, as the flowers we cultivate with care and the wt eds we uproot In disgust from our flower borders; pity that the one should eer be mistaken for the other. Undoubtedly half of the mischief in tne world has been done by too much talking. Had Eve not stopped to iar!ey with the serpent, Taradi.se had never been lo t; and henceforth all through history idle words have turned the fate of nations. And a word once spoken can never be unsaid; i for the times when we bewail ourselves in dust and ashes over the speeches we would fain never have spoken. Perhaps the eastern detpots, who cut out the tongues of their slaves, placed too high a value upon silence es a virtue for servants. Yet modern usage demands that tbe well trained domestic shall never speak unless first spoken to. "Good children are seen but not heard" is a saying, parsed into ohliyion with the old fashioned doctrine which required filial obedience; but in the days when it was part of household doctrine it mu.-t have added infinitely to the comfort of the families in which it was so observe. In short, throughout all ages sages have taught th viituesof silence, and hundreds of wise sayings might be quoted in its praise; but neither proverb nor precept can hsve more weight than the words of Holy Writ, wherein it is faid that "For every idle word God shall call us into judgment" The Wicked -ewn in Organ.
