A man in his carriage was riding along,
A gaily-drees'd wife by his aide,
In satin and laces she looked like a queen.
And ho like a king in his pride.
A wood-sawyer stood in the street as they
passed,
The carriage and couple he eyed,
And he said, as he worked with a saw on the
"I wish I was rich, and could ride."
The man in the carriage remarked to his wife,
"Oae thing I would give if I could,
I'd give all my wealth for the strength and
the health
Of the man who is sawing' the wood."
A pretty young maid, with a bundle of work,
Whose face in the morning was fair,
Went tripping along with a smile of delight,
While humming a love-breathing air.
She looked in the carriage—the lady she saw,
Arrayed in apparel so fine,
And said in a whisper, "I wish in my heart
Those satins and laces were mine."
The lady looked out on the maid with her
work,
So fair in her calico dress, .
And said, "I'd relinquish position and wealth
Her beauty and youth to possess."
Thus it is with the world ; whatever our lot,
Our mind and our time we employ
In longing and sighing fur what we have not,
Ungrateful for what wo enjoy.
How we Obtained a Homo.
It was a dreary November night,
the rain had been falling all day, and
I was thoroughly and inwardly dis
consolate, when my little wife met me
at the door.
"Why, Will, what has caused you
to be so late?" said she; "the tea has
been steeped this hour, and really
began to fear that some one bad tak
en a fancy to your watch, and caused
you an unpleasant delay."
This remark was made with refer
ence to an ancient time-keeper which
I carried—a huge watch which had
belonged to my grandfather. My
wife was always predicting that some
gentlemanly footpad would seek to
possess himself of this valuable,
if I
was not more careful about exhibiting
it. The truth was, she was sorry in
her heart that I could not afford a bet
ter one, and. so she took this method
to banter me.
We sat down to tea that night in
our cozy little back parlor, beside a
cozy grate fire, and the fragrant and
stimulating Oolong, and my wife's
cheery talk, soon caused me to forget
my long walk, and the drenching, and
the unpleasant incidents of the rain.
"Do you know, my dear," said I,
breaking open a white, creamy bis
cuit the while, and laying on a blico of
yellow butter, "do you know I had
some very serious thoughts on my
way home to-night ?"
"Oh, no doubt you bad," said she,
"you tbougbt perhaps in a fit of men
tal abstraction, how much you had
made on the last 'corner,' in specula
tion."
All this was decidedly naughty:—
You see I had managed to save a
thousand dollars, and a friend of mine
knew it, and he also knew a nice "cor
ner" on wheat, and the half of my
humble pile he said was sufficient seed
for a rich harvest on such a "corner"
as was preparing. Well, I invested,
partly to please my friend, and more
to please myself, to make a little mon
ey quick, and the result was the fol
lowing Saturday night—Will Aitkin
minus five hundred dollars.
M. MARION McNEIL.
No," said I, "nothing of the kind. I
was thinking bow bard it is to be
poor. How bard to toil on year after
year, and just barely make a living.—
Here we live in a rented house. We
have paid out in rent for this little cot
tage throe times its first cost. A man
ought to own the house ho lives in, if
it be but a shed. I bare never seen
the time when I could spend money
for a house. When fortunate in spec
ulation, I have let my funds slip • thro'
my fingers, I don't know how, and
my regular salary is only sufficient for
our yearly expenses."
"Do you mean to say," said she,
looking at me archly over the cup,
"that you would willingly compel the
wife of your bosom to Jive in a smaller
and cheaper structuro than this? Do
you, really ?"
"No, no," said I; and indeed, if I
were to think of building a cheap cot
tage, where is the money to come
from ?" and then I groaned audibly
over the aforesaid "corner."
"Well," said she, "I run glad you
are still a devoted husband, not dis
posed in the least to play tyrant; but
would it not be well now that we are
on the subject, to see if there is not
some way open to liberty? For my
part I would like to watch over a patch
of ground which we could call our
own. "Do you know," said she, "that
I have never cared anything about
flowers here. It is not because I am not
fond of flowers, us you well know, but
it seems so ridiculous to be cultivating
flowers on rented ground. How I
would like to be mistress of a little
yard, and then the flowers would be
my own."
The fact is, my wife had been al
ways talkinL, after this manner. She
wanted me to build a house, even
though it had but one room. And so
I answered her:
"Yes, yes, but where is the money
to come from!" and again I ph'pught
of the "eornor."
"Well, said she, "this is the Bret
time that ever you seemed to see eye
to eye with moan to 'love in a cottage.'
When the th'ousan . d dollars 'were in
the bank, you insisted that we Cali not
enough; now that the half is gone, I
iiy"that we still have enough to be
gin With, and my feeling is 'strike for
your altars and your fires."
By this - time we were through tea,
and taking a eigtir from off the man
tel, I sat ddivn in ney . 'eaey chair, lead
ed hack, took tivo 'or tree wthffs'or
smoke, and laid to her :
"Hy you he kind enough
-PERSEVERE.-
NEVER SATISFIED
to inform me how I shall go to work
to build a house for five hundred dol
lars?"
In the meantime she had drawn a
stool to my feet, and was sitting look
ing up at me, her rosy and lustrous
face beautiful in the gas-light. It had
been difficult from the first for me to
withstand that face. I believe 1 had
never yet refused any request of hers
save to abandon my cigars and build
a cottage, and now I felt my time had
come, and so I pulled away at my
seed Havana with uncommon zest.
"Now, Will," said she, "listen. I
hear there are lots for sale in G
great large lots on long time, at three
hundred dollars ouch. It is only eix
miles out by rail and property they
say is rising in value there every year.
My plan is this : Go and buy a lot
now, and get ready to build in the
spring."
"Yes," said I, "but you are forget
ting the money."
"Stop," said she,pulling with her tiny
hand at my beard, "you pay down for
your lotsloo, and have nothing more to
pay for two years. We shall be able to
replace the money by spring and have
$5OO to begin our bowie with. We
can build a cozy place, large enough
for you and me, for $1,000."
"Yes," said I, knocking the ashes
from my cigar, "but where is the re
maining $5OO to come from?"
"Look here," said she. "We now
pay here $3OO for rent, do we not ?
This amount at least, we shall save in
the new house. You can readily bor•
row on the security you will have the
remaining $5OO, and by a little econo•
my we shall be out of debt in fifteen
months from March next, save the
$2OO on the lot."
"Yes, yes," said I, "and such a house
as we shall have—oh, dear."
Well, I was influenced by my good
wife. We wont down one sun
shiny day and looked at the lots and_
closed a bargain, and in the spring
our house was commenced and ready
for occupancy before the first of May.
It was not so large a cottage as the
one we had left; there was no gas,
and I had myself helped, to dig a well;
but somehow there was a strange ex
hilaration of feeling on getting settled
in our new abode. The affair too, had
cost more than we had anticipated by
$2OO, so we were in debt on the house
alone $7OO on moving in. I felt quite
uneasy over this debt the first night.
This feeling quickly passed off, and
as we began to put out trees, make
garden, and prepare for a family of
children, our estate seemed so im
mense that the debt therein was tri
fling.
I cannot stop to tell you of the joy
of that summer. Away from the roar
and dust of the city; among largo
trees and growing shrubs and flowers,
our moon-light nights were blissful,
and the little cottage was a palace.—
Two years passed, and so much cheap
er had wo found it living in this style
that we had not only paid the debt on
the house but the lot also. We want
ed to remain there and never leave it.
But wo could not. Property had ad
vanced in price to such an extent that
the halt of our lot brought $5,000.
This I put into business, and on this
venture fortune smiled. We stayed
another year in the little cottage, sold
it, and built a large and elegant house
out of the proceeds of our first invest
ment. Years have passed since then.
I own a number of houses, and have
been successful in trade, and now oc
cupy a marble front on a fine avenue;
but we have never been happier than
when living in the thousand cot•
tage, and my wife's advice was the
foundation of our fortune.
DOES YOUR LIGHT SHINE 7—The
keeper of the light house at Calais was
boasting of the brightness of his lan
tern, which can be seen ten leagues at
sea, when a visitor said to him, "what
if ono of the lights would go out 7"
"Never, impossible," he cried, horri
fied at the bare thought. "Sir," said
he pointing to the sea, "yonder, where
nothing can be seen, there are ships
going to all parts of the world. If to
night one of my burners went out,
within six months would come a let
ter—perhaps from America, perhaps
from some place 1 never heard of,—
saying such a night, at such an hour,
the lights of Calais burned dim, the
watchman neglected his post, and ves•
Behr were in danger. Oh! sir, some
times in the dark nights in stormy
weather, I look out to the sea, and
feel as if the eye, of the whole world
was looking at my light. Go out ? burn
dim? 0 never!"
Was this ligththouse keeper so vigi
lant? Did he feel Bo deeply the im
pcirtance of his work ? And shall
Christians neglect their light and suf
fer it to grow dim, when fur need of its
bright shining some poor soul, strug
gling amidst the waves of temptation,
may be dashed upon thelrocks of des
truction ? No. "Hold forth the word
of life." "Let-your light shine." This
is the way to save souls. "Holding
forth the word of life,!' says the Apos
tle; why ? "that I may rejoice in the
day of Christ, that I have not in vain,
neither labored in vain."'

"Delightful Men."
"Isn't he a delightful man ?" This
question was addressed to me by a la
dy in company, concerning a gentle
man who had rendered himself, during
the evening, peculiarly agreeable. Be-
fore I answer that question, 1 said, I
would like to see him at home. I
would like to know if, when he jars
his wife's feelings, he says, "Beg par
don" as smilingly and promptly as
when he stepped upon yonder lady's
dress. I would like to know if, when
ho comes home at night, he has some
pleasant little things to say, such as
he has scattered about so lavishly
since ho entered this room this even
ing; and whether if the badly cooked
dial, which ho gallantly declared to
the hostess at the table "could not
have been improved," would have
found a similar verdict on his own ta
ble, and to his own wife. That is the
test. lam sorry to say that some of
the most agreeable society-men, who
could, by no possibility, bo guilty of a
rudeness abroad, could never be sus
pected in their homes of ever doing
anything else. The man who will in
variably meet other ladies with "How
very well you are looking !" will often
never, from one day to another, take
notice of his own wife's appearance, or
if so, only to find fault. How bright
that home would be to his wife with
one half the courtesy and toleration he
invariably shows to strangers. "Al
low me to differ"—he blandly remarks
to an opponent with whom he argues
in company. "Pshiw ! what do you
know about it?" he says at his own
fireside-and to his wife. Children are
"angels" when they belong to his
neighbors; his own aro sent out of the
room whenever he enters it, or receive
so little recognition that they are glad
to leave. "Permit me," says the gal
lant male visa-vis in the omnibus or
car, as he takes your fare; while his
wife often hands up her own fare, even
with her husband by her side. No
wonder she is not "looking well" when
she sees politeness is for every place
but for home consumption.
"Oh, how men miss it in disregard
ing these little matters," said a sad
eyed wire to me one day. And she
said truly; for these little kindnesses
are like a breath of fresh air from an
open window in a stifled room; we lift
our drooping heads and breathe again.
"Little !" did I say ? Can' that be lit
tle which makes,
or mars, the happi
ness of a human being? A man says
a rough, rude word, or neglects the
golden opportunity to say a kind one,
and goes his selfish way and thinks it
of no account. Then he marvels when
he comes back—in sublime forgetful
ness of the past—that the familiar eye
does not brighten at his coming, or
the familiar tongue voice a welcome.
Then, on-inquiry, if he is told of the
rough word, he says : "0
-oh I that's it
—is it? Now it isn't possible you
gave that a second thought? Why, I
torgot all about it !" As if this last
were really a palliation and a merit.
It would be ludicrous, this mascu
line obtuseness, were it not for the
tragie consequences—wore it not for
the loving hearts-that aro chilled—the
homes that are darkened—the lives
that aro blighted—and the dew and
promise of the morning that are so
needlesily turned into sombre night.
"Little things !" There are no little
things. "Little things," so called, are
the hinges of the universe. They are
happiness or misery ; they aro poverty
or riches; they are prosperity or ad
versity; they are life or death. Not a
being of us all can afford to despise
"the day of small things."

SELAH.—The translators of the Bible
have left the word Selah, which occurs
so often in the Psalms, as they found
it, and of course the English reader
asks his minister or some learned
friend what it means. And the minis
ter or learned friend has most often
obliged to confess ignorance, because
it is a matter in regard to which the
most learned have by no means been
of ono mind; The Targums, and most
of the Jewish commentators, give to
the word the meaning of eternally, for
ever. Kimehi regards it a sign to ele
vate the voice. The authors of the
Septuagint, translation appear to have
regarded it as a musical or rbymical
note. Herder regards it as indicating
a change of tone. Matheson, as a mu
sical tone, equivalent, perhaps, to the
word repeat. According to Luther
and others, it means silence. Geseni ,
us explains it to mean, "Let the instru
ments play, and the singers stop."—
Wocher regards it as equivalent to
sursum corde—up my soul. Somme,
after examining all the seventy-four
passages in which the word occurs, re
cognizes in every case "an actual ap
peal or summons to Jehovah." They
are calls to aid and prayers to bh
heard, expressed either with entire
distinctness or if not in the imperative
"Hear, Jehovah !" and the like, still
earnest addresses to God that. He

. When even Chicago pauses in her,
tremendous strides to empire to swell,
the cry of dull times, there must be.
something in it. We infer that the.
Summer before us is to be one of mod
erate trade, and rejoice in believing.
it. For dull times in cities, with Mar.
ny houses to let, argue. that the bone
and sinew of our country, the prodli
cers of its wealth, are busy on th'ell
farms, and resolved not to spend Aim
proceeds of their cropkin luxuries and
fripperies before they are grown and
harvested—a very sensible resolve, in
our opinion. If one-half the popula:.
tion of our cities; finding times _dull,
were drawn or driven out from' their
straitened lodgings into the broad,.
free country, and there employed in
tilling the soil, orin mechanical voca
tion
.subsidiary thereto, it would be
better for us all. -Chicago's -growth
may be checked for the moment, -but
it will be increased in the long run;
by,such a jail delivery of her crowd:
ed, stifled, steaming lower hundred
thousand. They will contribute' AO,
her trade and greatness on the broad,
rich prairies which invest her, as they
never can while they throng her,
streets and rush by and over each,
other in their anxious, frantic; hope- .
less quest of "Something to Do." .
Yes, we hope to hear the Summer,
just before us characterized as one ;
of the dullest ever known. For. dull
times do not imply June frosts, .nor
destructive tempests, nor deadly epi-
demics, nor even National decay --7.
Those are not dull times wherein the.
heedless majority are drinking and
dancing and dicing in reckless extray.
agance, intent only on present gratifi- . „
cation, and reckless of impending ruin.
You could not say that times were
dull when half our ghle•bodied men,
were engaged in liurning houses, tear
ing up railroads, ravaging fields, and
running us into debt at the rate of
One Hundred Millions .per
These were, on the whole, rather live;
ly times; and so have all times been
when we were rushing on to bank .
ruptcy at a 2:40 gait. Dull times im
ply sobriety, cauti?n, frugality, and
hint that the prodigal has taken the,.
back track, or at least ceased to go
ahead on the . down hill grade. He
may. only have tried to check his,fenr ;
ful momentum, and this too late to
avoid the crash; but better even Ude
than rushing recklessly. on..
So let us welcome dull times with a
cheerful face, as a sedate, fatherly, un
cle, who has come round to see how
the boys get on, and who, if he. doe
not find them doing ,their level' best,
is almost certain to leave them in a .
