The tide is deep and the waves run swift, I C
With a ceaseless ebb and flowing ;
Our guide star's lost and our bark's adrift,
And a ruthless gale is blowing.
We strive to pierce with our troubled gaze
The dusk of the hearing ocean;
The sea is rough aud its trackless ways
■ Are lost in the wild commotion. J
Our hearts are filled with a thousand fears, . I
As we onward move in sadness; ;
Our eyes are dim with the mist of tears, j ,
For we see no gleam of gladness.
Yet somewhere, still, on the farther shore,
We know that a light is shining.
And somwhere hovers, the waters o'er,
! The cloud with a silver lining.
!
; V. hen the wave* run high, and the atonn comes
down I
To toy with the crested billow;
When the masts are beiu at its dreadful frown,
• Like the feows of the lithesome willow;
ITlien we gaze afar through thy mist and spray,
With hearts that are sad and.fearing,
j To catch a gleam, through the darkness grey,
| Of the farther shore appearing. 1
.]
i To that farther shore we ar-- drifting fast;
j Each day we aie drawing nearer;
; We hope to enter its port at last. (
| And to see its light shine clearer. (
We know that an unseen hand will guide,
Thai an eye is watching ever,
j And we feel in our hearts, l-t what will botide
We have help that shall fail us uever.

A Mirror for Young Wives.
J 'I must have it, Charles,' said the
j handsome little wile oi Mr. Whitman.
J 'So don't put on that sober face.'
'Did i put on a sober face,' asked
the husband, with all attempt to smile
that was anything but success.
•Yes, sober as a man on trial for hit
life. \\ by it's as long as tiie moral s
; law. Thore, dear, olear it up, and look

! 'How much will it cost? inquired
! Mr. Whitman. There was unothe: el
j fort to look cheerful and at quie.-cent.
'About lorly dollars,' was answered,
with just a little faltering in the lady's
voice, for she knew the sum would
sound a little extra vagrant.
'Forty dollars!" Why. Ada. do you
think 1 am made of money?' Mr
Whitman's couiitemiiiee underwent a
re markahie c ha n ge of' ■<;< p rcssi o 11.
'I declare, Charles,' said his wife a
little impatiently, 'you look at me a
it 1 were an object ot tear instead of
affection. 1 don't think this is kind of
you. I've only had three silk dresses
since we're married, while Amy Blight j
has had six tr seven during the same
| period, and evi ry one of hers cost more ;
than mine. I know you think me ex
travagant, but 1 wish you had a wife !
like some women I could name. 1
rather think you'd find out the differ .
once before long.'
'There, there, pet, don't talk to me .
after this fashion ! I'll bring the mon- j
ey ut'iUnnertime, that is, it —-—'
Xo ifs nor huts, if you please. The j
sentence is complete without them.
i Thank you, dear. J 11 go this after

to bring the money. 1 was in art Bill:
l skin's yesterday, and saw one of the
sweetest patterns 1 ever laid my eyes ;
on. Just suits mv style and complex
ion. You won't disappoint me?'
And Mrs. Whitman laid her soft
white hand on the arm ol'her husband, i
a and smiled with sweet | ersuasion in '
her face.
'Oh, no. You shall have the money,' '
said Mr. Whitman, turning off from
his wife, as she thought a little abrupt
ly, and hurrying from her presence.
In his precipitation, he had forgotten
the usual parting kiss.
'That's the way it is always!' said
Mrs. Whitman, her whole manner
changing, us the sound of the closing
street door came jarring upon herears.
•Just say money to Charles, and at
once there is a cloud in the sky.'
She sat down, pouting and half an
gry- , , .
'Forty dollars for a new dress, ejac
ulated the husband of the vain, pretty,
thoughtles Mrs. Whitman, as lie shut
thedoor. '1 promised to settle Thomp
son's eoal bill to day—thirty-three dol
lars—but don't know where the money
is to come lroni. I'he eoal is burned
up, and more must be ordered. Oh,
dear, I'm discouraged. Every year I
fall behind. This winter 1 did hope to
get a little in advance, but if"forty dol
lar silk dresses are the order of the
day, there's an end to that devoutly
wished for consummation. Debt! debt!

labors in respiration. Oh, if I could
but disentangle myself now, while I
have the strength of early manhood,
and the bonds that hold me are weak.
It Ada could see as 1 see—if I could
only make her understand rightly my
position. Alas! that is hopeless I tear."
And Mr. Whitman* hurried his steps
because his heart beat quicker, and his
thoughts were unduly excited
Not a long time after Mr. Whitman
left home, the city postman delivered
a letter to his address The wife ex
amined the writing on the envelope,
which was in a hold masculine hand,
and said to herself, as she did so—
'l wonder who this can he from 1"
Something more than curiosity mo
ved her. There iutiuded on her mind
a vague feeling of disquiet, as if the
missive bore unpleasant news for her
husband. The stamp showed it to be
a city letter. A few times, oi late,
stroll letters had come to his address,
and she had noticed that lie had read
them hurriedly, thrust them without
remark into his pocket, and became si
'krnt.
It the thought of Mrs. VY hitman re
curred. as was natural, to the silk
dress of which she was to become the
owner on that day, she did not feel the
proud satisfaction her vain heart ex
perienced a little while before. .Some
thing of its beauty had faded.
' It 1 only knew what that letter
contained,' she said, halt an hour alter
it came in, her mind still feeling tin
pressure which had come down upon
it so strangely, as it seemed to her.
She went to the mantel piece, took up
the letter, and examined the super
scription. It gave her no light. Stead
ily it keyt growing u,pon .fcw that its
contontfi were of a nature to trouble
her hue band.
Mrs. Whitman turned the'ietoes over
ynd over again in her band, in a
thoughtful way, and as -he did so. the
image of her husband, —sober-laced
and silent its he had become for mo-l
of the time, of lute, presented itself
with unusual vividness. Sympathy
stole into her heart.
• Poor Charles!' she said, rts the feci
ing in creased ; 'l'm afraid something
is going wrong with him.'
Placing the letter on the mantcl
ji;> < e. where he could see it when he
came in, ilrs Whitman entered upon
some household duties, but a strange
impression, as ♦Tw/eight, lay upon hor
heart —a sense of impending evil a
vague feeling that all was not going
well with her husband.
• lie has beer: a little mysterious of
late,' she said to herself. The idea af
fected her very unpleasantly. 4 lie
grows more silent and reserved,' she
added, as though her mind under a fe
verish excitement, became active in a
new direction. 'More indrawn, as it
were, and less interested in what goes
on around him. His coldness chills
me at times, and his irritation hurts
me.'
She drew a long, deep sigh Then,
with an almost startled vividness,came
: before her mind in eon trust,her lender,
loving, cheerful husband of three years
! before, and her quiet, silent, so.ber-
i faced husband of to day
'.Something is going wrong with ,
; liiin !' .she said aloud, in the feeling
grow stronger. '\\ hat can it be V
• The letter was in her hand.
'This may give me light.' And, with
j careful fingers, she opened the tisvel
; ope. not breaking the paper, so that
. she could seal it again if she desired to ,
Ido so. There was a hill of sixty dol
lars, and a communication front the
person sending the hill. T'e was a
jeweler.
'.lf this if. not settled at once,' he
wrote, ' 1 shall put the account in suit.
Jt has been standing for over a year:
i and I am tired ot getting excuses in
' stead of my money.'
The bill was for a lady's watch,
which Mrs. Whitman had almost coin
polled her husband to purchase. ' A-'ot
! paid for I is it possible!" exclaimed
the little woman, in blank astonish
ment, while the blood mounted to her
1 forehead.
Then she sat down to think. Light
! began to come into her mind. As she
sat thus thinking, a second letter for
j her husband came in from the penny
postman 'Bho opened it without hes
itation. Another bill, and another
dunning letter!
-Not.paid! Is it possiple?' She re
peated the ejaculation. It was a bill
of twenty five dollars for gaiters and
slippers, which had been standing for
three months.
This will never do!' said the awak
ening wife —'never—no, never;' and
she thrust the two letters into her
pocket in a resolute way. Trorn that
hour until the return ot her husband at
dinnertime, Mrs. Whitman did an un
usual amount of thinking tor her little,
brain. P'.e saw, the moment he en
.terc i. r i..;l the mornuigcloud had not
! pot sod Voni his brow.
, ■ Here is the money for that new
i | dress,' he said, taking a small roll of
, ! bills from Ins vest pocket, and handing
them to Ada as he came in. lie did
not kiss her, nor smile in the old bright
way But his voice was calm, if not ,
cheerful. A kiss and a smile just then
would have been more precious to the
young wife than a hundred silk dress- '
es. .She took the money, saying—
• 1 hank you dear. It is kind in you
to regard my wishes'
Something in Ada's voice and man- .
ner caused Mr. Whitman to lift his
eyes, with a look of inquiry, into her
taOo. But she turned aside, so that he
could not read its expression.
lie was graver and more silent than
usual, and eat with scarcely an appear
ance of appetite.
•Come home curly, dear,' said Mrs.
\\ hitman, its -she walked to the door!
with her husband, after dinner.
•Are you impatient to have me ad
mire your silk dress?' he replied with
a faint effort to smile.
' Yes, it will be something splendid,'
she answered.
He turned off from her quickly, and
left the house. A few moments she
stood, with a thoughtful face, her mind
indrawn and 'her whole manner 'com
pletely changed. Then she went to
her room and commenced dressing to
go out.
Two ifoui'S later and we find her in
a jewelry store on Broadway.
•Can 1 say a word to you' she ad
dressed the owner of the store, who
knew her very well.
Certainly,' he replied, and they
moved to the lower end ol one of the
long show cases.
Mrs Whitman drew from her pock
; el a lady's watch and chain, and laying
litem on the show case, said, at the
same time holding out the hill she had
tuluCK -from the envelope addressed to
her husband
' J cannot afford to wear this watch,
my husband's circumstances are too
limited. I tell you so frankly. It
should uever have been purchased, hut
a too indulgent husband yielded to the
importunities of a foolish wife. I say
this to lake blame from him. Now,
sir, meet the ease, if you can do so in
fairness to yourself. Take back the
watch and say how much 1 shall pay
you 'besides.'
i'he jeweler dropped his eyes-to think.
The case took him a little by surprise.
HE stood for nearly a minute ; then ta
king the bill and • atch .-aid :
Wait a moment,' and wont to a
desk near by.
; • M ill that do?' lie had come forward
again and now presented her with the
! receipted bill. His face wore a pleased
expression,
i■- -How much shall I pay yon?' asked
- Mrs. Whitman, drawing out
; et-book.
i ' Nothing. The watch is not de
faced.'
> ' You have done a kind act, sir,' said
i Mrs. Whitman, with feelings trend)
4 ling along hor .voice. ' 1 hope you will
not think unfavorably of my husband.
, It's no fault of hC that the bill bus not
• been paid. Coot! morning, sir.' Mrs
\\ hitman drew her veil over her face,
s and went, with light steps, and light
- heart, from the store. The pleasure
she had experienced on receiving her
watch was not to be compared with
that now t'ett in parting with it. From
; the jeweler's she went to the boot-ma
ker's—and .paid the bill of twenty live
dollars : from thence to hor milliner's, ,
and settled for her last bonnet.
' I know you are dying to see my
new dress." said Mrs. Whitman, gaily,
as she drew her arm within that qf her
husband, on bis appearance that even
ing. ' Come over to our bedroom —
j and let me show it. Come along?
' Don't bang back, Charles, as il you are
afraid.'
Chark- Whitman went with bis wife
passively, looking more like a man on
his way to receive sentence than in ex
pectation of a pleasant sight. Jlis
thoughts were bitter.
'Shall my Ada become lost to me,
he said..in his heart—"lost to me in a
world ot folly, fashion, and extrava
gance ?'
' Sit down, Charles.' She led him to
a large, cushioned chair. Her manner
had undergone a change. The bright
ness of her countenance had departed.
She took something, in a harried way,
from a drawer, and catching up a foot
stool, placed it on the floor near him,
and sitting down, leaned upon hiui
arid looked tenderly and lovingly into
his face. Then handed him the je\vcl
! er's hill.
'lt is receipted, you soe.' Her voico
fluttered a little.
'Ada! how is this? What docs it
mean ?' lie flushed and grew eager.
' 1 returned the watch, and Mr. R—
| receipted the hill. 1 would have paid
for damage, hut he said it was unin
jured. ami asked nothing.
'Oh, Ada!'
1 And this is receipted also ; and this/
and handing the other bills which she
had paid.
' And now, dear, she added, quiek
'j ly. ' how do you like my diess ? Isn t
it beautiful ?'

We leave the explanations and scene t
that followed to the reader's iaiagina- ! i
i tion. If any fair lady, however, who, (
like Ada, has been drawing too heavily ■ !
•on her husband's slender income, for i
; silks, and jewels, is at a lose to realize i
| the scene, let her try Ada's experiment. -
Our word for it, she will find a new .
1 and happy experience in life. Costly <
silks and jewels may he very pleasant I
things, hut they arc too dear, when ]
they eotne as the price of a husband's '
embarrassment, e.kentardi.-quictude or
alienation. Too often the gay young j i
I wife wears them as the sign of these
unhappy conditions. Tranquil hearts, i
and sunny bwmr , are precious things; I
too | eciotvS to be burdened and cloud- !
led by weak vanity and love of show. <
Keep this in mind, oh, ye fair ones,
I who have husbands in moderate eir- |
: cumstances. Do not let your pride j
and pleasure oppress them. Rich

poor substiLutes for smiling peace and j

CONFMMIR X ROADS, j !
(wieli is in the Btait uv Ky. - !
April 21,1 *<)•). \
1 hev diskivored the cause uv the ,
dckline uv the Dimocrasy. I seed it !
! yisterday. I WIIZ a wunderin on the
neighborin hills, a musin onto the dc
; pravity uv humanity ez exemplified in
the person ov the grocery keeper at
, the Cg'ners, who unamimously refoos
ed to give me further credit for corn
whisky, wich is the artaele they yoose
,n this country to pizen themselves
with, lie assoor.ed me that he had the '
utmost regard for my many virtues, '
but he diskivercd that the one he prized j
I the most I hedn't so many uv, to wit: ,
that uv paying for my lieker. There
tore the account mite bo considered ;
closed. Then for the first time in my j
■ life, .1 bcleeved in total depravity.
While moosin in a luelunkaly mood
on this dark cloud wich fell across the i
Dimooratic party. 1 came onto a party j'
uv men boriu for ile. Then thelrooth i
flashed over me—-their operations
showed me the way to success—the i
shoot* path to triumph.
•\YI en,' said 1 to myself, -when men ,
[ seek to gain iie they bore for iy. Tha
go down ne-voratp. dtven so with the
! Dimocrasy. We dug downward ! down- ■

[ whites South, then below them j
the left uv the poor whites uv Xoo
I (iersey—then Southern Illinois and
Indiana, thon Bike county, Missouri,
and so on ! We never went upwards
for converts because 'twant no use—
had to come down. We got lots of
converts.
There was a regular sliding scale
with the heft uv Dimecrats who wasn't '■
born in the party and hev slid down, ;
to wit:
Ouartcr dollar smiles.

Dimocracy.
We lost our hold for two reasons. — J
First the poor lickcr wo have now,
kills olf our woters too .fast, and the
ta>t on whisky forced •too-tliirds qf our
people to unit suulclin, and ez soon ez
they begin to git on their feet jired
the" Abilitionists. Secondly, our lead
ers supposed there wuz no other stra
tum to dig into, and they gave up q.
, disgust.
But I have diskivcred the lower stra
tum —J have found it. and when the
idea flashed over my Websterian intcl-
I loot I shouted llallcloogy! Tlie nig-!

I bore down to it, and work it thorough
ly, we hev at least twenty years' lease
uv power
Wo must cultivate the nigger, lit
must hev the suffrage. It is a burning

why, I triumphantly ask, is he not
