IX MEMORY Or OKXEIIAI. JOHN LOVE

AR.lll T. BOLTOJ. HU task completed, the angelic scribe. That kept the record of a human soul, IIa closed toe book and signed It with a seal. And one who walked amongst us, in the lujht. The beauty of a true, unsullied lifo IIasfNued beyond the shadowy bourn of Time. The world has lod a noble, manly face, A gentle, genial heart and generous hand That, self-forgettini?, wrought for human good Faith points to Heaven and whispers, "AU U well!" But weepiaic Love Iii is up her empty hands And cries, "Alas, the world is desolate!" By memory's llut our thoughts retrace the years That set their landmarks by the path he trod. To one aupkioui eve, when friends were wet To celebrate Li briJal. a was meet. There, midst fair garlands, tdorou flowers and liKht That made a golden glory in the air, Ite and his fair youn; bride pronounced the Vnw Their loving heart kept faithfully Ü11 death. How strong and fair they were that eventide. Flushed with the bloom and beauty of their youthHow rich in all the promises of Hope. The foretaste of Ions, pleasant years to roite With blooinln springs and golden Bummer days Brimful of happinos and crowned with love. And so it was no htorm swept o'er their hky No shadow cast its darkness at their door, And love made beautiful their wedded life. A life, like some fair day, inphered in light. And redulfut of Summer's richest bloom A day with rosy morn and golden noon 1 hat promised much, but closed, alas, too soon. The sun dropt suddenly from out the world And left us groping iu a starless night. Like children lot aud crying, in the dark. "We run not see! the mom will never come!" All men are loser when a good man dies. Tho' they inherit what of good he wrought. They can not calculate the unwritteu sum Of what he might have done In longer life. This is their loss, for none can fill his place. Or finish fittingly what he begun. The pathway of the Ixrd is In the sea Iarkneas is hi pavilion; yet, we know. What we call death Is not the end of life. Nay, by the tu piratloris of the soul Its Intuitions of the good and true; Visions of beauty that elude iu grasp; Mysterious problems it has failed to solve. By all the type and shadows ol the things It craves, but ran not reach, life ends not here. Cut only puts asid? the tattered robe It wore along the dusty shores of Time. We can not see the eternal world beyond. Nor feel the breees from its glorious hills. Nor hear the voices of the all-redeemed, Kut, we believe our friend Is in their mfdst Clothed with the garment of Immortal life, Serving the Lord, who needed him in Heaven To fill a place an anted could not fill; Yet, human love nits weeping by his grave. And cries In nony, "The night is long!" Leech Bank. February 10,1881. COMKK.Nl.ta VVOiiEX. A sister of the King of Sweden ha Missionary in Lapland, and baa sold her jewels to iad her in her work.

The "Woman Suffragists of Great Britian, always alert, ever watchful and active, send out in their Suffrage Journal the following hint to their coadjutors to claim a passage at every door that opens for any other class: "It is not probable that meetings will be held during the winter in support of the proposal to assimilate the County and borough franchise; in other words, to make household suffrage the universal basis of ' franchise. "We suggest to our friends that, ! in all such cases where the resolution proposed to the meeting does not expressly include women householders, an amendment or rider should be proposed making the resolution applicable to all householders in boroughs and Counties, whether they are men or women. We believe that no public meeting convened to obtain an extension of the franchise to any householders now excluded would b able to resist the claim of women householders to be considered along with the others, or would refuso to adopt a resolution to include them if the case were fairly and temperately laid before them." Jost Like Men. . Fashionable clothes occupy the minds, often to the exclusion of everything else, of those New York women who are financially able to gratify their longings. Shopping, says a correspondent, is their diversion and delight. They spend the live-long day going from store to store, whether they intend to buy anything or not. They do not stop to go home for a mid-day meal, but buy a lunch wherever they chance to be when eating time comes. In one of the largest fancy goods establishments in the city a restaurant fifty feet square does a rushing business, and a soda-water fountain fizzes continuously. But tho latest project for the refreshment of fashionable women is a bar. Now, bar-rooms in which disre putable women drink are no novelty, but this ii no such concern. It is as respectable as it is unique. It is in Broadway, close to Stewart's great mart and "Wal lack's Theater, in the midst of handsome retail establishments. Tho front- is resplendent with plate-glass, and the store itself is wide, deep, and elegantly fitted up. The walls and ceiling are frescoed, and the floor is marble. One side is devoted to the sale of confectionery. That shows the proprietor's shrewdness, for women probably would not go in if there was nothing but a bar in the place. The bar runs along the opposite slue, and is about the same in style as thote of the best cafes, though the marble counter is a little lower. An immense mirror faces the drinkers, and the back bar is adorn od with a cutglass anddecanters. Instead of beer-pump, however, there is & soda-fountain. Files of lemons, an ornamental lemon-squeezer, groups of gingerale bottles, and pyramids of silver Tom and Jerry cups, make a display as gorgeous as can be found on any bar in the city. Two fcar-tenders, of the regulation patters, with

their hair and mustaches carefully brushed, diamonds glistening on their polished shirt-

ironu. ana me sleeves ot meir wnue coats turned up to the elbowr. are constantly on duty. The women walk up just like little men. and order their drinks with the care less air. of veterans. The enterprise has been under way only a few weeks, and is already an established success. The beverages are about what might be expected. Hard liquors" are not sold, except in mixed drinks, as in Tom and Jerrys, on which the run during the present cold weather is brisk. They are made hot and sweet, and the women dote on them. The next most popular drink just now is hot punch, composed of rum, lemonjuice, water, and a dash of brandy. Sometimes seltzer is ordered in place of tho water. Hot coffee, chocolate, and lemonade are also soM in large quantities. On days of moderate temperature, the call is for cold lemonade, claret punch, ginger ale, and soda water. While 1 was there yesterday the pop of the ale-bDttle was momentary, and the lever of the lemon-squeezer was in almost constant motion. Women stand three feet deep in front of the bar. Two companions drank together, and each paid for her own dissipation; but as a rule the gentle tipplers gracefully imitated polite bar-room ixanier.., though they were given to sipping their beverages slowly, instead of tossing them into their mouths like so much medicine. What are you going to drink?" said a. mild-faced sapling of a girl in a cloak of satin mateli'sse and blue capote. "It's my treat this lime," replied a cherrylipped dumpling of a belle in maroon velvet. "No, nor you bought yesterday. Come, what'll you take?" "A selt.er lemonade." "Make me a Tora-and-Jerry, sweet." So the confusion of orders and the eager drinking went on. I asked one of the bartenders why he didn't keep lajer beer on tap, since New York women drink it at home and in the concert gardens so generally. lie said: "Oh, we want to go slow at firstdon't want to startle our customers too much; but we'll give 'em beer as soon as warm weather comes."

Woman, do you realize that there are realms of truths unknown by humanity, and still others that some great and thinking minds have divulged, knowing well their power to raise mankind to a higher moral and intelectual life? Yet, they remain in obscurity waiting for some knowing hand to force them upon the world's notice. Will you not search fur TIIF.SK HIDDEN JKWKLS, and when you have found one, so separate it from all dros3, that it will come forth in iu native purity and luster, so grand, so ennobling that the world will behold, admire, and seek to profit by it? And it will repay your noble labors by its grateful homage. "Why will women wound that high moral scene and degrade that aspiring intellect by compelling them to collect only the wei-Is and pebbles strewn along life's path when so many beautiful flowers and precious stones are within their reach? "Why will she waste those devine gifts of language and eloquence with whieh God ha9 so highly endowed her sex on petty talk, or worse, on gossip and scandal, when such pure waters of life-ennobling thoughts are surging through her hidden soul? "When will women realize that she must "put her shoulder to the wheel" and help to renovate this mas of ''wicked, wasting humanity" which she so ably benioans7 and that, too, by beginning at home and lenovating her own daily life and conversation. If each one would TAUE THIS riKST STET.

"I don't believe in these secret societies," said one lady to another. ''That's very singular," replied the other.

The Norristown Herald says that "the number of patents issued to women during the year'ending July, 1880, was seventy, or ten more than the average. Most of the inventions have to do with household appliances, but among them is not included a contrivance to prevent the stairs from croaking

at midnight, when a married man returns home from "taking an account of stock,' or something that way. The fact that woman's slumbers are frequently disturbed at this late hour from the cause named ought to induce her.one might suppose, to invent something to cure such an annoyance. But she has never made an effort in that direction."

How the Newly-ConTerted Mlier was Overreached. Youth's Companion. Trobably the largest wood sled ever built in Count- was one devised by 'Squire John McClellan, a great uncle of General George B. McClellan. For a number of years it was one of the local curiosities of the town of "Woodstock, Conn , the early home of the McClellan fjmilv. Tho narrator's father, who saw it frequently when a boy, 6ays it was nigh thirty -two feet in length by three in breadth. The beams were of squared eight inch timber, with studs to match; and the "shoes,' or runners, were over a foot in width. For drawing it, there were two "tongues," or poles, in forward end. It was never used save on one sjecial occasion, when the team consisted of fifteen yokes of oxen. The story of its origin is as follows: In the Parish where 'Squire McClellan resided, it was the custom every winter for such of the men who had wood lots to give the Parson a cord of hickory wood each, and thus make up to him a wintei's supply of fuel. The 'Squire, in particular, was always punctual in December with his cord of nicely prepared hickory. In that Parish there was a man who had the reputation of being "snug," niggardly, and apt to shirk his due share of the burden of paying the Minister. Indeed, his remissness in the matter had bsen a standing grievance in tbo place for many years. One autumn there was a revival of religious interest in the placo and many members of the Church were stimulated to earnest labor, and to live more 6trictly. Aiong these was the penurious man above alluded to, whom we may conveniently designate as Brother Z . Not a little to the astonishment of his neighbors, who had had ample experience of his miserly dealing, he arose in prayer meeting one night, and exhorted to liberal giving, not only to the Parson, but to all benevolent objects. Waxing exceedingly earnest in language and tone, he declared, among other things, that he would that winter give the Minister a load of wood. "Yea, brethren," he exclaimed, ''The Lord baa opened my heart! 1 will give him a load of ' . 1 - -1 L . I ...II fc. . . . K . woou, ana a uig uur. x niu jivo nun iuo biggest load you can draw from my woods to his yard!" This unexpected outburst from so drouthy a source was the Parish wonder for a week. Many thought that Brother Z must be near his end. "Trulj," said 'Squire McClellan at the Deacon's meeting, '-the lord must have opened Brother Z 's heart; but," he added, with characteristic Scotch shrewdness, "it may close soon, and it may never open again. It behooves us,in the Parson's interest, to avail ourselves of it. Let us build a sled that will carry ten cords and do it at once. ' So thought tho others. The monster sled was privately but expeditiously framed in a back yard, and early one snowy morning in December Brother Z was amazed to see drive to his door apparently all the ox teams in town, drawing the titanic sled, accompanied by a shouting throng of teamster and all the small boys in the Parish. Tho 'Squire was riding on the sled. "We've come for the Parson's load of wood, Brother Z !" he called out. ' You bade us haul the biggest load we could, and I am glad to hoar that you have lately had a fine lot of hickory chopped." Brother Z , however, seeing the magnitude of the sled, tried to explain and demur, but in vain. The crowd roared him into acquiescence, and with a wry (ace he finally led the way across the snowy fields to his freshly-corded tier3 of hickory in the lot. It is said that fully ten cords of wood were loaded upon the big sled under the 'Squire's supervision, and then, to tha tune of a most yoeiferous gee-hawinp-, the enormo.-is Joad was successfully sledded to the Parson's door-yard. The worthy Minister, equally amazed, out moro agreeably so, issued forth to learn the cause of the uproar. "Good people, good peoDle, he cried, rubb'ng nis hands, 'what meaneth this? liava tho windows of Heaven opened" "Nay, dVi parson!" exclaimed the 'Squire; "but the Lord has opened Brother Z 's heart, and that so great a gift could have issued from so small a receptacle is one of the wonders of saying grace. Question not, but take it, and keep ye warm." The minister had roaring fares that winter. but it was long before Brother Z recov ered his equanimity. POPULAR. SCIENCE. The BulleMn reports that a prize of 1,000 francs has been awarded to M. J. A. Martin for his means of rendering textiles, paper goods and similar articles uninflammable. For lihtgoodj h'J employs a mixture of pure ammonium sulphate, 8 kilos; ammonium carbonate, 2 kilos, boric acid, 3 kilos; pure borax, 2 kilos; starch, 2 kilos, or 0.400 kilo dextrino or gelatine, and water, 100 kilos. Mr. C. J. Kintner, of the United States Patent-Office, believes that judging from what has already been done in various applications of electricity, within the next decade we shall find our large telegraphic corporations operating their elevators, supplying motive power, heat, and light throughout their buildings, and electricity for their lines, from one common source of power. A writer in Nature says that before the voyage of the Challenger scarcely thirty deep-sea fishes were known; that, although this number has now been very much increased, yet no new types of families have been discovered, and that, although perfectly novel and very interesting modifications of certain organs have been met with, there has been nothing more discovered than what might have been expected from what was known previously of the group. A pa per. said to be proof against firo and water is prepared in this way: After a mixture of two-thirds ordinary paper pulp and one-third asbeätus has been thoroughly incorporated, it is steeped in a solution of common salt and alum. It is then made into paper, which is finely coated with shellac varnish.

Uttle Kuby Itobln said, "It might be very pleas ant." But Bhe flew off guyljr singing, "Xot at present! Not at prevjnt! Wide Awake. Little Beai'a Self-Ienlal. Christmas Day and the holidaysare not bo long gone by but that the happy children can recall their gifts and the various pleas ant incidents connected with the time, as well as the general indulgence and loving cheerfulness that seemed to pervade the household. If you should ever visit the play-room o a child who had plenty of fond relations you would see 6uch a profusion of toys, dolls and elegant presents after Christmas that you would feel sorry that some less fa vored perhaps neglected or sick poor children could not have some of tbo last year's toys belonging to the owner of all these new ones. Such a thought occurred to the mother of a certain little darling named Jies3io on the day after Christmas. ßeesio had arranged her beautiful gifts about the room that was ''her own," and then Ehe had pranced down to mamma and had pulled and otherwise enticed her to come up and look at all the things Kris Kringle had brought her. Iler mother admired all the articles very cordially, especially those which had been ''surprises" to Bessie, having been duly hid den ior days or weeks in the darkest closet in the house, before Kris Kringle could properly bestow them. "And now, my little Bess," said mamma, "what are you going to do with all your old toys, to make room for the new oneai" 'Guess we'll put them in the garret." "All of them, Bessie? Wouldn't you like to give some of them away to the poor little children who have no Christmas gifts at all?" Bessie looked very grave. "Then thev would eo awav out of the . house, mamma," she said, "and I could not go and look at them everl "Suppose you put the toys out on the floor, darling, and we will take a look at them." The little girl ransacked her drawer and her closet-shelves, and out came a whole bushel of dolls and animals and toys, all In a more or less damaged condition, but still with a groat deal of play to be got out of them vet. "Now this flat-nosed doll, Bessie, might oe " Oh, mamma, that's my oldest daughter; she can t gol" cried Bessie. "Then here is one with a brokei arm said her mother. "Well, mamma, didn't you know that poor .Mamie broke her arm falling on the 'ospital." "How about this elephant, Bessie? Is he done with?" "Oh.no, mamma; my wax doll that shuts her eyes always rides out on the ele phant." It seemed as if nothing could be conveni ently spared. At last mamma took up a lamb that was covered with real lambskin, soft and woolly. Une ear was gone, and one leg was ver limber inside of its fleecy covering. 'Can you give me this lamb, Bessie?" said her mother. "You, mamma?" said the child, laughing, "What will you do with it?" "I know a dear little girl, who is both poor and sick. She has no toys of any kind. 1 would like to give it to her, if you give it to me," said her mother. "But mamma, I love that lamb!" and Bessie's eyes filled with tears. "Do you not see that still larger one on the table that your Cousin Henry gave you this Christmas' "Yes, mamma, I see it, but I don't love it yet,' said Bessie, sadly. "Now I want to tell you what self-denial means, my little Bessie." "What is it, mamma? something nice?" "You will think it ü nico when you have learned to practice it as you grow older, I hope; but it means doing without something that you like, in order that some other person mav have tho comfort or the pleasure it would nave given you. Now if you give me this lamb that has made you nappy for a whole year, and that you still love to own, and I take it to the little girl I told you of, don't you understand that you will be denying yourself to give her your pleasure?" "Yes, mamma, I guess I know; but does she want me to give her my lamh?" said Bessie, still sadly. "Poor little thing! She does not know anything about it yet; but you will be glad if you let me have it for her before this week is out, my dear." "Will I, mamma?" said Bessie, brightly; "then you shall have it, for you always tell me the truth truly. Here it is." Mamma kissed her little seven-year-old darling, and left her with her new toys and her self-denial about her old one. On New Year's Day she had Bessie dressed warmly "to take a walk with mamma." Such skipping and capering could hardly be called walking, but it was not long before the two arrived at a small house in a court and mamma knocked at the door. It waa opened by a tidy-looking woman,

"Can I see little Lucy, Mn. Green? said Mrs. Somen. "Oh, yes, ma'am 1 Walk right in; the child's quite smart this morning." Bessie followed her mother to the bedside. There lay a little girl, smaller than herself, very white and very thin, but with a patient, sweet expression on her face, and a look of welcome to Mrs. Somers. whom she well knew. And what did Bessie see lying closehugged to the little girl's breast but the lamb! "Oh, Mrs. Somer3!" exclaimed the child's mother. 'J ust see how she takes to that toy you sent her! She's never noticed anything in her sickness before.'' "My lamb's got soft wool seel" said Lucy, with a wan smile on her thin little face. "Mamma," whispered Bessie, "I'm glad the poor little girl has my lamb. She loves it." And then turning to Lucy, she said: "You'll be very kind to it, won't you? I was; and you shall have a doll, if you would like it. ' At which Lucy looked as delighted as she could in her weak condition. Going home, Bessie said: "Oh, mamma, I would a great deal rather poor Lucv should have my lamb to lie by her on her bed than keep it in my play room! She lays her face acainst iUsoft side, when she goes to sleep, her mother said. But mamma, dear, I did not want to give it to you. "Now, my darling, you have learned the pleasure of self denial," said her mother. "I wanted to have you see how much good your lamb had done after you consented to give it away; so I took you to visit the poor little sick child." With her mamma's help, Bessie found other sick or lonely children, and her last winter's toys were soon scattered among them by her willing little handi.

LITTLE JAKIE JONES. How He Shocked Ills Dear Old Grandmother Id Reading a Recipe. (Detroit Free Pre. Old Mr. Jones borrowed Mrs. Brown's recipe for making watermelon pickie the other day, and, being hard of hearing, as she couldn't see to read very well, tho got her grandson Jakie to read it for ber. Jakie took the paper, like a dutiful child, and, holding it upside down, commenced; "Take a green watermelon "Why, Jakie, ain't you mistaken? 1 thought the melon must be ripe." 0h, what's the matter wid yew! Gew ever see ar watermelon that wasn't green?" "Cut the watermelon into four halves " "But there ain't only two halves to any thing. I don't believe you'are reading that Jakie.' "Well, I don't have to, anvhow that's what the resect says. Then soak it in a pint cup" "Oh, dear me! How in the world can you put a watermelon in a pint cup?" "Wall, I ain't here to tell the whereases and howfores. I'm just readin' the facts and you can put in the fllosofee to suit your taste. After soakin' the melon put in a skillet and fry fur live days." "1 wonder if Mrs. Brown sent me such a recipe as that?" said the old lady; but Jakie kept on: "Then put the watermelon in a quart bowl and pour over it a gallon of vinegar, taking care not to spill the vinegar " "I'd just like to know how you can pour a gallon into a quart bowl without spilling any of it;" but Jakie continued: "Then sift a peck of red pepper through a milk-strainer over the melon, and to one cup of butter and the white and yolks and shells of three eggs and throw in the old hen that laid them, and four sticks of cinnamon drops and two tablespoons ful of quinine and run it through a coffee-mill and let it stand till it erment, and then put it in a tin can and tie the can to a dog's tail this will stir up to the right consistency and then you can turn it off in crocks and have it ready for use. Serve it cold and spread it on mince pie and it makes capital desert," and Jakie slid out of the door and left the old lady looking like a wrinkle on a monument. An Odd Bat Simple Pazzle. One of a party suddenly asks; "Can anybody put one of his hands in such a position that the other hand can't touch it? ' Of course, every one in the room tries at once, and there is generally a great deal of fun at the clumsy attempts. The position is to clasp an elbow with one of the hands.
