O May I Join the Choir Invisible." BY t.KORUE IXIOT. "Lonjrura Mud tenipas. quum nnn ero, msLs tae niovet. quam hue exiguura." Cicero.) O may I jon? the choir Invisible Of thöne immortal fiend who live again la rain. Is made better by their presence; live In pules stirred to ueiiciroity. In deeds of daring rectitude, in com Kor miserable im that end with self. Ia thouiruis sublime that pierce the night like ftrs. And with their mild persistence urge man's search To vaster feauc. So tolive is heaven: To make undying music in the world. K'cathir.K ast beauteous order that ciDtroIs With rowin: sway the growing life of man. So we inherit that sweet ouritv Fur which we struzsled, f.iiled and agonized W ith widening re in pect tnat bred despair, nebellious flush that would ijot be Mibdued. A vicious parent j.hamin2 still its ckild Poor anxious penitence i quick dissolved: Its discards, quenched by meeting harmonies, lie in tho Lirk'e a.ni charitable air. And all our rarer, belter, truer elf. That sobtted religiously i:i yearning wn?, That watched to ease the burthen of the world, laboriously tracing what must be.

And shaped it forth before the multitude Divinely human. raising worship so To higher reverence more mixed with love That belter self ahull live till human Time Shall fold itst eyelids, and the human sky Re gathered like a scroll w ithiti the pm t L'mead forever. This is life to come. Which martyred men have made more glorious For us who strive to follow. May I reach That purest Heaven, be to other souls The cup of strength in some great agony. Enkindle generous ardor, feed pure loe, Hcjret the smiles that b.ive no cruelty He the sweet presence of a goml diil'uscd. And i:i (Jiitusioii ever more intense.

Kellogg, aainilted last week, is tno first lady to practica at the Bar ia Kansas. 3Ir3. Martha Iiif, a Cincinnati teacher, has obtained notice from Washington that a patent has been granted her on nor invention of an appliance for correct pen-holding. A üinner-plate in the porcelain service, used at the White House, is decorated with a door's lu-ad. The model is a noble buck that was killed and set up by Mrs. Maxwell, the celebrated lady hunter arjd taxidermist, of Colorado. Mr.'. Lizzie Fatterson, widow of Nicholas Patterson, n well-known merchant of thit city, ha? given to the Children" Home in Cincinnati thirty acrea of land, worth $40000. She bad drawn a will with this bequest in it, but changed her mind and has given the property at once. .Miss .Louise McLaughlin, the discoverer of painting undi-r tho glaze on pottery, realizing that art, like health, was tro to all, told her process to other artists, explained it to .reporters, and even published a book giving directions. A man hes now taken her process and patented it. Sjme one who has taken the trouble to count tho patents issued to women, findi that the number for the year ending July, 18S0, was seventy, or ten more than the average. Most of the inventions of women have to qo with household appliance. Amtng the past year's are ajar lifter a baij holder, a pillow-sham holder, a dress protector, two dust-pans, a washing ma:hinc, a fluting iron, a dress chart, a fish boner, j ing machine treadle, a wash basin, an iron heater, sad irons, a garment stiffner, a folding chair, a wardr jI3 lei. a weather strip, a churn, an invalid's bed. a strainer, a milk cooler, a sofa bod, a dipper, a paper dish, and a plaiting device. Pin Money for Wives. London Letter ia San Francisco Call. J I think every wife ought to have Rn allowance ot herown, of which sha should be absolute mistress. American husbands arc less inclined to make this arrangement with their wives than husbands of any other nationality. In Ealand not only do wives have their pin-money, but each daughter also has her separate allowance, upon which she dresses herself. This allowance is hers to do exactly as the pleases with, and she must not exceed it. It is an excellent arrangement in every way, because it not only saves a woman's self-respect, not to be placed in the attitude of a beggar, 'but it also teaches her habits of economy, and accustoms her to the disbursement of money. English wives, high and 'low, keep household accounts in a way which would surpii-e many American women. Every penny spent in the house goes down in the "housekeeper's book,'' with which every rnisttess of household ia provided. Every bili 13 filed away care'ully when receipted. In fact every perfect system of order prevails, which enables every man to know exactly what it eosts him to keep up his home. In this country every expenditure ü made to bear it3 proper relation to the income received. House rent must be only such a percentage, table outlay so much, servant's outlay so much, children's schooling so much, amisgiving so much, and if at the end of one year it is found that the income has been ticeeded, theie people immediately proceed to reduce items in every department. Tho general style of their living remains about the same, but it is necessarily not quite so generous. In Behalf of Women. Apropos of the "Woman's Suffrage Convention, lately held, the averagejthinker and reader will ask, why, when women are calling fur rights and power for the sex, they do not try to sustain one another in all noble effort and enterprise that is to result in good to women; and bd a positive proo: oi aoztrins and theories so often eloquently set forth through the press, and on the platform? If opportunity arises fcr them to show true substantial appreciation of the sexes worth and captbilities, it would seem they should be the List to shrink from giving means to women to prove her merit in Art, Science, Letters, and industries of all kinds. If not trenching upon ground too foreign, we would like to ask why, when the ladieä of Boston determined to present tho White House with a portrait of Mrs. Hayes äs a tempcrar.ee testimonial, thy chose a man for tie work, and passed by all the lady artists of America, even such eminent TOai-ii ar Mrs. Morrell, Miss Hansom and .Miss Fassett, who certainly have given us some fine work as any exhibited m this country. Was the gentleman chosen more capable, more temperate, more efficient in working for woman's advancement than these artists, and the hundreds who are with them in spirit and work? It ia little wonder that men say decisively of time?, "you never help one another; if women w -nt aid they must go to men, not your sex." Every effort and opportumity that affords woman's brain and energy chance to come to the front with substantial results is to be hailed with praise. Yet none but the noblest types f womanhood, need hope to succeed a3 leaders in this advancement, who are unselfishly devoted to the cause of humanity, since work for woman must mean that. Word to th Girls. The following advice to the girls is being extensively distributed among familiei of the Eastern State: Don't go with a man if he U a stranger to you, or whose reputa

tion you are not acquainted with. Remember that in ordinary business the tamo rule

is applied as a protection against the loss of money, jno Danter cr money-ienaer wm trust a stranger; no business man will sell him goods on time without guarantee against loss or deception. Why then should a woman, young or otd, trust herself to a man when she docs not know whether he is honorable or not? Do not marry a man to get rid of him, or to oblige him or to save him. A man who has formed bad habits what is he? What is there of him yon can love? The man who would g to destruction without you would quite as likely go with you, and, perhaps, 4raj you along. Remember, your future happiness depends altogether on the kind of a partner you get, as it is he that makes your home on earth a heaven or a homo of sorrow. Therefore, be sure, take none other than one that is equally pure a3 yourself. Remember that a man when he" looks for a wife, seeks sobriety, virtu and purity in a woman. Why then should not women demand the eanic of men? Settle your head and make up your Ihind alone. A word froTi a good mother will not harm you, aa she is the la&t and crowning handiwork oi God. the link connecting Lk'aven and earth, the endowment of purity, holiness and IIeaenty grace, the most perfect combination of modesty, patience, devotion, affection, gratitude and loveliness and fit for any true or holy trufct. Did cot she watch over you from infancy to childhood, from childhood to girlhood? And a mother is more of a mother than a father is of a father. Mother knows that a husband's work is from sun to sun, and a wife's work i3 never done. Forget not, a promise may be mado in a moment of syinpa$y, or even half delirious ecstasy, which must bo redeemed through years of toil and pain. Forget not, he only that is free from vice is fit to l-e your companion, and no other. Drop tho company of him at once who has uttered a word unbecoming to true manhood, for if a id an is true to himself, then it must follow rs the day the night, he can rot bo lalscto woman. A3 you make your bed so you must sleep. Take none that has fclandcred o,' betrayed one of your own fcx, or broken a promise, lie is not worthy of a wife, nor will he ever be true to one.

Alter all. when one comes to think of it, there are not many homes. There are, of course, innumerable places which go by the name of homes, called so for a .want of a better designation, or because everybody calls the pluco where ho eats and sleeps home; but when you come down to real sober fact, homes aro comparatively scarce. A home k the refugo place from tho storms, the fret and worry of life. It is a place where the Lusband '.cornoa . home to a sanctuary, whore Emilcs and loving words answer his smiles and greeting. It is a place where the wifo reigns in her benignity and grace; not it may bo, tho grace of outward beauty, or cultivation, but of true womanhood, where she receives honor and love even as she gave them both. It is a place where children are happier than anywhere else in the world, because, the're aro the choicest words, tho brightest - looks and tho kindest acts. Such aro not the nvij ority of homes as wc find them. How doe3 it happen that when you see a real home, .a light, plcaaant f pot where everj-one seems to be happy; where if husband and wife have misunderstandings, no one seems to know it; where raughter and smiles are perpetual guota, why doca it strike one as peculiar and noticeable?

"When I vra3 a little girl iny pnp& and mamma lived in a large city. 1 had oh, such a number of playthings! and a nursery, a large roo where all ray dollies, and book", and blocks, and china tea sets were kept. And here I used to play when mamma was busy or had company. Standing in one comer of the nursery was a high old-fashioned bureau. It was an uglv old thing, so tall and heavy, but then mamma said it was useful and nice for dollies' and my clothes, that she could not think of storing it away among theruobish; so there it stood. As I had no little si.-ter or brother, mamma would often play tea party with mo. Eaeh dollie would be dressed in its very best dress, and come to the party, and we would lauch and plav, until it was time for Susie O ... .... and Katio to be put to boa; and we aid have such a nice time that I used to wish that mamma would never be busy, and that she could play with me all day long. One cold, snowy day, about a week before Christmas, I asked mamma to let me have a tea party for dollie. 'Yes, l'et, as soon as you set the table call me and I will come," said she. You may bo sure that it did not take me long to got my table ready; and as soon as I rang the supper-bell mamma came to tea. I had just poured out the tea and was helping mamma, Susie and Katie to a slice of cake when Mary, mv nurse, came up stairs and told mamma here was a lady in the parlor waiting to see her. As 3f ary started out again she handed mamma a large pasteboard box and said something to her in a whisper and mamma walked to the bureau and put the box on top of it. , "Now, ret," f aid mamma, "I have put that box out of your reach; don't try to get j it, dear, for it is not fcr my little girl to " O, no, mamma, I won t touch it for anything,." said I. And then she went down Io the parlor and left me to finish my party with the dollie?. ! After dinner was over I had tucked the I dollies in their beds, all cozy and snug, when I happened to lock up at the bureau, and j there I saw the box just as mamma had left it, quite near tho edge. "1 wonder what's in that box that I am not to see," said I to myself. "Oh! I do believe it is something for my Christmas gift; how I wish I knew what it is I I wish I could give one little peep; I am sure mamma 1, 1 .1 Vtstv. I a n Iwi wkiriA will never kuu w it, auu wen i w uuuo after a little while; so what's the harm to look at it? I want to see it so much!" and forgetting about mamma, or my promise to her, I got my high chair and put it bv the bureau." Then I climed up and s ood on my tirvtoes, and could just reach the lid of the box. 1 took off the cover and leaned over to look into the box; hut as I did so my foot slipped, and down I fell, with the lid of the box in my hand, striking my arm on the sharp foot of tho bureau. Oh, how my arm did hurt! I screamed, and then I did't remember anything until I heard mamma say: K). Doctor. 13 the arm Drosen . Ana when I opened my eyes I saw that I was lying on my ewn little bed and that mamma and tho Doctor were standing oy me. Yes. I am afraid it is." said the Doctor, as I began to cry with the pain.

"When pesa came home mamma told him what had happened; how I had tried to look into the box, ana naa iaiicn ana broken my arm: and then she told him how sorry I was. He kissed me and talked to me so kindly, until at last I became quiet and went to sleep, resolving that in future I would mind my papa ad mamma, because they were so cood and knew what was best for me. It was a long time before my arm was well or knit together, as the Doctor called it; and I could not have any more tea-parties because I could not wait on dollies with my left hand.

A brave lad has lately performed a rare feat of courage, common sense and presence of mind, in Berlin, in the presence ot very few observers. A milk-cart, containing no one but a little girl about three yeais old, was being wildly dragged along the Muhlenstrasse by a furious horse, and no one dared to rush out at the bri lie of the galloping beast. A boy, apparently not more than thirteen years old, sprang forward and rolled a large empty tub, which was standing at a shop-door, down into the center of the road. This brought the horse to an instant's pause, and wh.n he tried to pass at its side the boy seized the bridle and hung on, at the same moment throwing up his legs, and clasping them tightly rund the horse's neck. This heavy burden in so unusual place brought tho terrified beast to a full stop, and the bystanders hurried up and lifted the little girl out of the cart. .While all man nor of questions and soothing speeches were being addressed to her, the hero of the action quietly slipped away, no one knowing his name or dwell-

Flve Cents. The rDiy . I "Well, my boy," said John's employer, holding out his hand for the change, "did you get what I sent you for?" "Yes, sir," said John ; "and here is the charge, but 1 don't understand it. The lemons cost twenty-eignt cents, and there ought to bo twenty-two cents change, and there's only seventeen." ''Perhaps I made a mistake in giving you tho money?" ' No, sir; I counted it over in the hall, to be sure it was all right. 'Then perhaps the clerk made a mistake in giving you change?" But John shook hi head: "No, sir; I counted that too. Father said we must always count our change before we leave a store." "Then how in tho world do you account for the missing five cents? How do you expect tnc to believe such a queer atorv as that?" John's cheeks were red, but his voice" was firm; "I don't account for it, sir; all I know is that it ia so." "Well, it is worth a good deal in this world to be sure of that. How do you account for that five-cent piece that is hiding inside your coat-sleeve?" John looked down quiekly and caught the gleaming bit with a little cry of pleasure. "Hero your are!'' he said. "Now it is alll right. I.coulJn't imagine what had become ofthat five-cent piece 1 knew I had it when I started from the store." "There are two or three things that I know now." Mr. Brown said with a satisfied air. "I know that you have been taught to count your money in coming and going, and to tell the exact truth, whether it sounds well or not three important things for an errand boy. I think I'll try you, young man, without looking any farther." At this John's cheeks grew redder than ever. He looked down and up, and finally he said, in a low voice, "I think I ouht o tell you that I wanted the place so badly I almost made up my mind to say nothing about tho change if you did not ask me." ''Exactly," said Mr. Brown, "and if you had done it you would have lost the situation ; that's all. I need a boy about- me who can be honest over five cent?, whether he is asked questions or not." Forgive U Our Trespasses. A story is told of a certain nobleman of Alexandria, who complained bitterly to the Dishop of that city of his enemies. While in the miust of his talc the bell sounded for prayers, ard the Bishop and noblem in dropped to their knees, the former leading in the Lord's Prayer, the latter leaving for a time his tale untold. When the Bishop came to tho petition, "Forgive us our trespasses," he stopped suddenly, leaving the other to go on alone. 1 he nebleman attempted to continue; but startled by the sound of his unaccompanied voice, and recalled by his companion's si lence to the significance of the petition, he stammered, ceased praying, and rose from his knees, a hopeless men until he allerward found hope in a better disposition toward his neighbor. It is an easy thing, boys, tosay, ''Forgive us our trespasses'' by rote; it ia difficult to say it undorstandingly.

We wish it were practical to apply appropriate correction to no less unmanly tyranny of unfeeling exacting and cruel words by which too many husbands keep their wives in never ending torment.

Florence tells the following funny story to a reporter of the London Theater: "Once during a tour in the "Western States an incident occured, in which I rather think I played the victim. We were en route from Cleveland tp Cincinrati, an eight or ten hours' journey. "" After seeing my wife comfortably seated I walked torward to the smoking-car, and, seating myself in the only unoccupied place, I pulled out my cigar-case and offered a cigar to the person next to me. Ho was a man about Eixty years of age, gentlemanly in appearance, and of a somewhat reserved and bashful mien. He gracefully accepted the cigar, and in a lew momenU we became engaged, in conversation. ' , . "Are" you going far "West?" I inquired. '.Merely so far as ColumbUs," said he. (Columbus, I may explain, is the Capital of Ohic.) "And you, sir," he added interrogatively. . ' Ism journeying toward Cincinnati. I am a theatrical man, and play to-morrow night at Cincinnati.'' I was quite a young man then, and fond of avowing my profession. 'Oh indeed? Your face seemed familiar to me as you entered the car. I am confident we" have met before." 'I have acted in almost every State of tho Union," said I, in a half patronizing tone. "Mrs. Florence and myself are tolerably well Known throughout the Northwest." "Bless me!" replied the stranger, in surfrise; "is this Jlr. Florence, the comedian? havo seen ou act many, many times, 6ir; and the recolloction of Mrs. Florence's Yankee Girl,' with her quaint eongs, is still fresh in my memory." "Do you propose remaining Iong'jn Co lumbus?" I asked. "Yea for seven years," replied my com panion. 1 hus we chatted for an hour or two. At length my attention was attracted to a littlo red-faced man, with small, sharplooking eyes, who sat immediately oppsite us, and amused himself by sucking the knob of a large, walking-stick which he carried nursing in his arms. He had more than ohse glanced at me in a knowing manner, and every now and then giving a sly wink and shake of the head at me, as much as to say. 'Ah, old fellow, I know you, too." Thote attentions were so marked that I ultimately asked rny fellow-passenger if he had noticed them. "That man actS like a lunatic?" said I sotto voice. 'A poor, half-witted fellow, possibly," replied my companion. "In your travels through the country, however, Mr. Florence, you must havo often met such characters." We had now reached Crestline, the dinner station, and alter thanking tho stranger for the agreeable way in whih he had enabled me to pass the journey up to this point, I asked him if he would join Mrs. Florence and myself at dinner. This produced an extraordinary series of grimaces and winks from the red-faced party aforesaid. The invitation to dinner was politely declined." The repast over, our train sped on toward Cincinnati. I told my wife that in the smoking-car I had met a "most entertaining gentleman, who was well posted in theatricals, and was en route for Coiumbus. She suggested that I should bring him into cur car and present him to her. I returned to the amoking-car and proposed that the

The proposal made tha rod-faced and small-eyed party undergo a species oi spasmodic convulsions which set the occupants of the car into roars of laughter. ''No, I thank you," said my friend. 'I feel obliged to you for your courtesy, hut I prefer the sruoking-ear. Ilave you another cigar?'' - "Ye?,' said I, producing another Partaga. 1 again eat Jy his side, and once more our conversation begun, and we became quite fraternal. "We talked about Theaters and theatrical, and then ad vered to political economy, the stato of the eountry, finance and ommerce in turn, our intimacy evidently affording intense amuaempnt to the foxyeyed party near u. Finally the shrill sound of a whistle and the entrance of the conductor indicated that we had arrived at Columbus, and the train soon pulled up in the station. ''Come," said the little red-faced individual, now rising from his Beat and tapping my companion on tho shoulder, ''this is your station, old man.1' My friend rose with some difficulty, dragging his hitherto concealed feet from under the seat, when for the first time I discovered that he was shackled and was a prisoner in charge of the Sheriff, going for seven years to the State Prison nt Coiumbus.
