Poetical.
OVER Till! ItlVEIt.
over tho river they beckon to me,
Lovrd ones who havo crossed to tho farther side;
Tho gleam of their sunny robes I see,
Cut their voices tire lost In tho ru'hlng ttdo.
None return from thoso quiet shores,
ho cross with the boatman cold nnd pale.
Wo hear n dip of tho oar,
And reach a gleam of tho salt.
And lot they havo passed from our yearning hearts;
They cross tho si ream nnd nro gone for aye:
Wo may not sunder tho veil npart
That hides from our vision Iho gates of d.iy,
Wo only know their barks no moro
Sail with us o'er life's troubled sea!
Yet Bomowhcro I know on Iho unseen shoro
They watcli nnd beckon and wait for mo.
And I sit and think when tho sunset's gold.
Is lushing river nnd hill and chore,
I thalt ono day standby tho waters cold
And list for a sound of the boatman's oar.
I shall watcli for a gleam ot the sunny sail,
I shall hear tho boat as It ncars tho ttrand,
I shall pais from sight with tho boatman palo
To tho better chore of tho spirit land.
I lhall know tho loved who have gono beforo
And Joj fully sweet will tho meeting be,
When over tho liver, tho peaceful river
'i ho angel ot death sholl carry me.

It w.ir n livoutl and liapny d:iy for
aIm. Slnclaii' on which her older daugh
ter had becoinu bir huj'nr JstcbrooUc ft
wife. Sliu liad hocii a widow many
vc.'it'!, and sinco her husband's death life
had been a hard stni-'t'lu with her; nor
was it thu snow of many winters that
lav UDon her hair, hut the touuh of a
heavy trouble which had fallen upon her
when Ida and her little sister Minniu
played together in white embroidered
frocks and never knew then why their
mother so often wept. Ida gained an
inkling of the cause, however, which,
grew in detail year by year with her
own growth until it became the family
skeleton, which she and her mother hid
away in thu cupboard, determined never
to bring it to light,
Kre she had attained her eighteenth
birthday, Ida became Sir Edward West
brooke's wife, lie had como down to
their little secluded village in the early
summer, and had there mado the ac
quaintance of the -widow and bur two
pretty daughters. Ida had learned to
love him, though twenty years her senior
and before tho'summer passed they were
married.
lie took her to her luxurious home in
London and they were as happy as the
days were long.
She knew very little of the world.rear
ed nil her life in a country home, and
was as pure and guileless as the infant
she gavo ini'tli to one tweivemonin later;
but the trouble which had turned her
mothers hair to silver had never once
been mentioned. Indeed, Ida even trem
bled at the idea of her husband ever dis
covering it, especially now that a son had
ueen uorn to ucar ins uonui.iuiu u.uuu.
Two or three months after the birth
of her child, Lady "Westbrooko accompa
nied Sir Edgar to a ball, given oy one
of Ins friends, and there she was intro
duced to a Mr. Chesterfield, whom, her
hostess previously informed her, was a
verv i$ch banker. Sii' Edward West
brooko stood watching his wife as the in
troduction was made, and wondered at
the chancre that came over her lair young
face; ho noticed, too, that as sho hung
on his mil. her breath camo in sliort,
quick gasp3, and that sho was apparent
lv a"itated. Ho was a man old enough
to bo lier latlicr,tius ueorgoouesieriiuiu,
the banker. Could sho havo over met
him before, and even if sho had, what
was tho reason of this strango emotion?
lie was abovo so paltry a feeling as
jealousy, and yet ho felt wounded and
aggrieved, ho knew not why. He loved
her so well, and deemed her utteraiy in
capable of anything liko duplicity.
it was iiiiring tneir mivo uomu mm,
ho broached the subject, when sho was
lying back in tho carriago with her head
halt l-fisling upon ins snouuier.
'Have you ever met Mr. Chestcrlield
before, Ida?"
Sho paused a moment, and then an-
swcied.
"No Edgar, never in my life. by?
'Nothiu'', dear, only I thought per
haps you might have done so," said her
husband quietly.
Sho spoke tho trutli.ho was sure, anil
his mind was relieved.
lint Ida wa a little nervous next
lll.as it was onlylaHcvoninglwautelling
Edgar how much sho was enjoying herself
wiui uer menus in mo eountrv,, anil ins
suspicions would bo dangerously aroused.
No tlio best and tho wisest plan is to let
things take their own coiirse,and to trust
In the mercy and goodness of Hun who
was pleased to send us this great and
bitter trial sonio years ago. Tlio chan
ces are, dear Ida, ' (for tho young wifo
was trembling in her mothers embrace)
"that Georgo Chesterfield will never

"0, dear mother, I was wrong not to

rupted Ida. "Whatever would ho say if
he wcro to learn tho truth now! I tho
mistress of his homo and tho mother of
his child?"
"Hush I hush I compose yourself, my
dear Ida," said Mrs. Sinclair,soothingly.
"Go to your husband do noUnim; to ex
cite his suspicion, neither for ono moment
coiijtiro up evils t lint may never exist
Even if tins should bo tho George Ches

"Mother, don't," almost shrieked Ida,
"tho very walls havo cars.
Hut even if ho be, dear," added Mrs
Sinclair, "that same Georgo Chesterfield,
surely ho would never publish it abroad
to the world.
J ney returned to tne iiituiif; room
wlicro Ida had loft her husband, and no
further allusion was mado to tho dinner
party. On tho following morning, how
ever,as Lady Westbrooko sat in her bou
doir alone, with her boy on her knee,
Sir Edgar joined her and sho then told
him that she was perfectly willing to in
vito any guest that her husband might
choose to select.
She looked so pretty so utterly guile,
less, as sho sat thero tho morniim sun
light turning her blight brown hair to
gold, that he bent and kissed her with
even moro than usual affection.
"My lit ti ti wife shall ik whom she
pleases, and then sho will pleaso ni"," lie
said, with much tenderness. "Only I
don't like her taking prejudices without
a reason.
Ida colored guiltilv, and IoiimiI, as hi
stood by her side playing with his boy,to
make a lull confession of eveiythiug and
trust to his lovo and affection for the
rest. As ho turned to leave her the
wordo wero on her lips: "Edgar come
back; I have something to tell vou,
And then sho looked at her babu and her
courage failed hr her tongas was mute
and Edgar left her.
How miserable sho felt all throucrht
that day ! Ah I and manv 'moro in suo
cession; and hoiv many tears she shed
in secret ! Her mother had advised her
to invito Mr. Chesterfield to dinner, in
aecordaneo with her husbands wishes,
and Ida had done so, though her lingers
had trembled as she punned the words
and she lived in continual dread of what
tho consequence of it all might be. Sho
began to feel that it was impossible to go
on like this much longer; that como what
may, sho must toll her husband.
Tlio evening of tho dinner party arri
veil, and, although Ida had been nervous
and hysterical all through tho day, sho
stood "by her proud husband's side in
tho drawing room, calmly doing tho
honors of hostess. Her mother sat on
an oUoman near her, looking palo and
lovely, with her hands placidly folded
and tho lights from tho candulabr
throwing its faint glimmer upon tho sil
ver tresses other hair.
"Mr. Chesterfield 1"
Lady Westbrooko went forward to
meet him and uttered tho words of in
troduclion to her mother with hps that
never faltered. The conseiouuess that
this night would surely determine every
thing, either ono way or the other, mad
her ieel wonderlully brave.
Sho saw her mother's cheek turn to tho
Into of death and tlio blood rush liko
torrent to Georgo Chesterfield's face
Tlio recognition, was mutual without the
shadow of doubt, and Ida, with a sicken
ing feeling possessing her, went back to
her husband's side fearful as to what
might happen next.
Later on, almost toward tho end of tl
evening, sho heard her mother convcr
and then sho camo forward with a faint
cry, but ho put out his arm to keep her
back.
"Pray romoiu wlicro vou arc." ho said;
wo can talk perfectly well at this dis
tance.
Ho gazed at her for n moment, as she
stood dumb before him,in her superb din
ner dress, with tho diamonds that his
mother had woriishlningonher neck nnd
arms,and her lovely face, pale and quiv
ering now, nbovo them.
"I wish for an answer to my question,
o said again. And wo will not ionvo
this room until I have had one."
1 ho diamonds upheaved and fell: then
she spokc.uot cxcitedly,but clcarly,Blow
ly and distinctly:
"Iho timo has comc.thcn. Edgar. when
I must tell you that which I fear vou will
eproach mo for not having told you be
foro our marriage." she began. "I know
it was very wrong ot me, now, but 1 did
not think so seriously of it then; and it
has always been a secret between my
mother and myself. I don't think even
Minnie knows all tho truth. It is about
my father; ho was a partner , in Georgo
Chesterfield's bank, and, shortly after I
was born, ho lost a largo sum of money
i . , , ii i . , ,
in speculations, no uscu to gamuie,
too; but, alasl my mother, who loved
him only too well, never knew it until it
was all too late. Ho was often out half
the night, but ho told her that it was his
business which kept him, and shc,in her
nno,:eiice, believed what ho said. Uno
lay I seem to havo a faint recollection ot
ho was arrested on charge ot robbing
Georgo Chesterfield's bank of 15,000.
He was lound guilty, transported, and
died in tho penal servitudo. '
Again thero was a brier silence, which
was broken soon by a wild and bitter
cry lrom Ida.
Uh, iMlgar 1 know l was never lit to
bo your wile 1, tlio daughter ot a con
vict, she burst forth. "'Hut 1 loved you
so well, arm teareu mat 1 siintiid loso

or your child. Oh, lidgar, my litis
band, tell me, tell me that you nan nuv
or love mo a,iy in ire, and 1 will t'o away
h quiet as possible awav with my
mother.
She sank down upon tho iloor in tho
tgonv of her great grief, and ran her
jeweled fingers through thu loosening
trcses ot her hair. t he next moment
ind sho was lifted tenderly upon her
feet, and gathered to lie.- husband's
breast.
Is this all mv poor foolish, littlo Idal"
ho said, soothingly, and kissed her be
dewed brow. "To think that the fault
of another could over lessen my lovo for
you. Your father is dead heaven rust
his soul and tho skeleton of his crimo
shall nuver raise up between me and my
wile. This, then, has caused your fear
of Georgo Chesterfield, My darling how
much uneasiness you might have sparod
yourself if you had only told mo all this
before 1
"And you"! wont lovo mo any tho less,
Edgar 1" sho asked, timidly seeking his
face.
"Any tho less?" ho repeated with a
smile. "More if that can bo possible;
for it has convinced me to the uttermost
of what a precious wifo I havo got. No,
darling, set your mind at rost on that
scoro at once and for all. And votir
father's crimo shall remain buried with
him. Wo won't let that bo a skeleton

you say, dear?"
lint Jiidy Westbrooko had nothing
to say she was sobbing out her joy
and thankfullness on her dear husband's
breast.

Arounil the World In Ono day.
If one has not laid his plans h,v tho
year, let him now "stop ami think," that
ho may loso no timo nlterward in finding
out what to do, and how nnd when to
do it. Ho who plans is tho ono who
succeeds in every department of human
labor. Thero is much to bo done to
mako ready for tho busy days that will
soon como. Tlio engine must bo loaded
with fuel, tho fire built, and tho steam
on beforo tho train can move. Lot ev
ery farmer havo a good head of steam
on, nnd bo ready to go forward as soon
as tho spring work begins. Floods and
freshets aro likely lo occur, and much
datnago may bo done unless prevented.
Outlets miist bo provided for surface
water, and so mado that tho water will
not gather in dangerous streams. Clear
tho drains of any rubbish, leaves, etc.,
that there may bo no inlcrlereneo with
their full llowing. I loads in spring are
ono of tho most serious inconveniences
in many localities. Now is tho timo to
plan and cxecuto a leiorm in road mak
ing. As soon as tho"settled weather',
comes, sec that tho almost impassible
roads aro mado good tho strength of a
chain is measured by that of its weakest
link. There is much to bo done in getting
tho farm implements all in good trim lor
work. It may bo that a corn-marker is
needed, or other homo-mado implement,
and do not leavo such work until the
day for planting. Thero are many forms
of home-made markers. Ono which has
done us good service is mado by affixing
sliort runners with sharp bevelled ends
to a plank, to which a tonguu is attach
od. lluiiners may bo placed upon both
surfaces of tho planks, and at different
distances, so that by reversing tho mark
cr wider or narrower, rows may bo
made. Tho corn crop may bo much im
proved by selecting tho best seed. This
is a matter that should havo been done
last fall, and of which mention was mado
in tho Notes iu autumn. It may be pos
siblo to get superior seed from a neigh
bor who has given special attention to
tho matter of selecting seed. Seed corn
brought from another locality has often
proved an improvement on that long
grown upon tho same soil, iop dress
ing ot fall grams with some quick actin
fertilizer has in many cases doubled the
crop, and at a comparatively trilling ex
pensc. The added manure stimulates
tho growth of tho young plants at just
tho timo when most needed, and gives
them strength to bettor tako care of them
selves.
Oats may bo sown as soon as the frost
is out of the ground, and tho soil is dry
enough to work up mellow under the
plow. It is bust to how with a drill as
more oven depth is secured, and all tho
seed is put in thu soil. Clover may bo
drilled with tho oats or broadcast a sliort
time after.
Thero is frequently much damage
done to pastures and meadows . by put'
ting stock upon them too early. All
meadows should be rolled as soon as the
frost is out of tho ground to press down
all tho raised tutts, stones, etc., and ec
cure a smooth surface for tho mowing
machine.
This is a critical timo with live stock,
especially if young animals are bein
added to the herds and llocks. It is o
ten useful to give animals that hav
been wintered on dry feed a dose of
physic. A pint of raw linseed oil given
two or threo tunes will help the digestion
of cows, horses, etc. It helps to loosen

An eccentric Berlin philosopher an
nounces that ho has discovered a way
to make a trip around tlio world in twen
ty four hours, llo says that ho is in
formed by tho captains of ships that
birds aro seen at Bea a thousand miles
or moro from land, and pronounces it
self evident that they must reach shoro
in a very short time, sinco they cannot
iind a resting placo in mid ocean. From
this ho conceived the idea thatlhoy mere
ly raiso themselves aloft, remain as near
ly stationery as possible, while tho earth
revolves around under them. All that
they then havo to do is to wait patient
ly until tho desired spot on tho earth's
surfaco comes along, and thereupon com
fortably to lower themselves to tho solid
ground. This ingenious practice on tlio
part of tho birds the Berlin man pro
poses to imitate for mankind, with tho
assistance of a balloon and passenger car
of peculiar coustrction that ho has in
vented, and which will soar aiott ami re
maiu stationery, while the restless eaith
rolls on below." It does not appear that
ho has successfully tried a trip with his
balloon himself; but ho lias laid his the
ory beforo tho Polytechnic Society of
Berlin, and given an elaborate exposi
tion of it. Tho society received it appa
rently with levity, but tho inventor is iu
dead earnest.

which was evolved that wonderful hymn
winch has ever siuco echoed round and
muni the globe, is not known; but it
wns nrobablv during sonio period of pe
culiar trial, when her spirit was uplifted
through sorrow almost abovo its earthly ,
body. She littlo dreamed that her hymn
like those of Toplady, Charlotto Elliot
and Bay Palmer, would bo heard through
the ages.
It was hrst published iu lau, in a
olume of sacred lyrics issued by a Mr.

the death of the gifted authoress, who
lived to tho ago of 41, and thus never

has grown up in a Christian land knows
it by heart, and in many countries which
