The old man sat by the chimney side, His face was wrinkled and Wan; And he leaned both hands on his atont oak cant", As if all his work was done. His coat was of good old fashioned grey, The pockets were flee@ and wide, Where his "specs" and his steel tobacco box Lie snugly side by side. The old man liked to stir the fire, So near him the tongs were kept ; Sometimes ho mused as he gazed at the coals, Sometimes he sat and slept. What saw he in the embers there? Ah 1 pictures of other years ; And now and then they wakened smiles, But as often started tears. His good wife sat on the other side; In a high-backed flag seat chair ; I see 'Death the pile of her muslin cap The sheen of her silvery hair. There's a happy look on her aged face, As she busily knits for him And Nellie takes up the stitches dropped, For Grandmother's eyes are dim. Their children came and read the news, To pass the time each day ; How It stirs the blood in the old man's heart To hear of the world away 'T Is a homely twene—l told you tai, But pleasant it is to view, At least I thought it so myself, And sketched it down for you. Be kind unto the old, my friend, They're worn with this world's strife, Though bravely once perchance they fought The stern, fierce battle of life. They taught our youthful feet to climb Upward's life's rugged steep ; Then let us gently lead them down To where the weary sleep. • Lost NY HUSBAND'M 19 XI)1 4 1D WIFE. My husband came tenderly to my side: "Are you going out this evening, love?" "Of course I am!" I looked down complseently at my dress of pink crape, dew-dropped over with crys tal, and the trails of pink azalans that caught up its folds here and there. A diamond bracelet encircled one round white arm, and a little cross blazed fitfully at my throat. I had never looked Issttesi and I felt a sort of girlish pride as my eye met the fairy reflection in the mirror. "Come, Gerald, make haste!—why, yon haven't begun to dress yeti . " Where were my wifely instincts that I did not see the haggard, drawn look in his features— , the fevered light in his eyes? "I can't go to night, Madeline—l am not well enough." "You are never 'well enough' to oblige me, Gerald. I am tired of being put off with such excuses." He made no answer but dropped his head in his hands on the table before him. “0, come, Gerald,” I urged, petulantly, "it is awkward fbr me to go alone always. He shook his head listlessly. "I thought perhaps you would be will ing to remain at home withme, Madeline. " "Kea are so selilab?” I said plaintively, "and lam all dressed. Claudia took half an hour for my hair. I dare say you'll be a great deal quieter without me, that is, if you are determined not to go. " No answer again. "Well, if you choose to be sullen, I can't help it," I said lightly, as I turned and went out of the roOta, adjusting in my silver boquet holder the tube roses and heliotropes seeming to distill incense at every motion. Was I heartless and cruel? Mid I ceas ed to love my husband? From the bot tom of my heart I believe that .I lo d Shita as truly awl tender as as ever,irife but I had 'been and petted few brief y am *,Wealthe -hitter Wands, so to speak, Vfecne entombed alive. , I wet to the W it Altiti luod my Og.ot Mule : 0 4 114 1 , uatml, The hone , tO &II away, sbod with petwhittlenzithwusicialcune,l % ; Wearied, tough% a Momentary . tett/fie in thee nnu.

The door was locked, but I could see a light shining faintly under . the threshold. I knocked wildly and persistently. "Gerald! Geraid! for Ileaven's sake let me int" Something fell on the marble hearth stone within, making a metallic clink, and my husband opened the door a little way. I had never seen him look so pale before, or so rigid or determined. "Who arc you?" he demanded wildly. " Why cannot you leave me in peace?" "It's I, Gerald—your Madeline—your own little wife." And I caught from his hand the pistol he was striving to conceal in his breast— its mate lay on the marble hearth, under the mantle—and flung it out of the win dow. " Gerald! you would have left me?". "I would have escaped!" he cried, still half delirious to all appearances. " Debt —disgrace—misery—her reproaches! I would have escaped them alll" His head fell, like that of a weary child, on mripiosider. I daew him gently to a sofa, and soothed him with a thousand murmured words, a thousand mute cares ses! For had it not all been my fault? And through all the long weeks of fear that followed, I nursed him with unwaver ing care and devotion. I had but one thought—one desire—to redeem myself in his estimation, to prove to him that I was something more and higher than the butterfly of fashion I had hitherto shown myself. Well, the March winds had howled themselves away into their mountain fast nesses, the brilliant April rain drops were dried on bough and spray—and now the apple blossoms were tootling their fragrant billows of pinky bloom in the deep, blue air of latter May. Where were we now? It was a picturesque little cottage just out of the city, tarnished very much like a magnificent baby house. Gerald sat in a cushioned easy chair on the piazza, just where he could glance through the open window at me, working a batch of biscuits with my sleeves rolled up above my el bows, and the " gold thread" hair neatly confined in a silken net. " Wpat an industrious fairy it is!" he said; smiling sadly. " Well, you see I like it! It's a great deal better than those sanataii on the piano!" "Who would have thought you would make so notable a housekeeper!" I laughed gleefully—l had all a child's delight in being praised. " Are you not going to Mika Delancey's croquet party?" he pursued. "No—what do I care for croquet par ties? I'm going to finish your shirts, and you'll read aloud to me!" " Madeline, I want you to answer me one question." "What is it?" I had safely deposited my pan of biscuits in the oven by this time, and was dusting the dour off my hands. " What have you done with your dia monds?' " I sold them long ago—they paid sever al heavy bills, besMul settling half a year's rent here!" " But Madeline, you were so proud of your diamonds'' , " I was once—now they would be the bitterest repench my eyes could meet. 0, Gerald, had I been less vain,)ind thought less and extravagant —l , I checked myself, said a robin,. singing in the peril/sod depth. of the apple bkos seine, above the piazza, took up the drop ped current of sound! " That's right, little red breast," said my husband, half jokingly, " talk her down. She has forgotten that our past is dead and gone, and that we have turned over a new page In the book of existence! Madeline do you know how I feel some tiroop when I sit and look at you!" 44 opl " Well, I feel like a widower who has married main." • My heart ga a little superstitious Jan*.

"I think the trials and vicissitudes three which we have, passed are welcome indeed, lime _they bane brought me as their lomat nwita, , the priteless treasure of my second wife.' That was what. Gerald answered me; the sweeteet words that ever fell upon my ear. 46 TRE SOLDIER'S PRATER." "Our Father" which is in Washington, " General U. S.

THERE is much truth in the following recent "chunk of wisdom , ' from Punch, who says: "If you are a wise man you will treat the world as the moon treats it. Show it only one side of yourself, seldom show yourself too much at a time, and let what you show be calm, cool and polish ed. But look at every side of the world."

THE New York anninercial makes the startling statement that "not one-half the income tax of the country is paid!" and as an example and illustration, it says that it knows of one house in New York city, where twenty-one gentlemen board, and only one has ever made an income re turn, or paid an income tax, or ever been asked so to do. GEN. GRANT'S noble declaration in favor of honestly paying the national debt according to the letter and spirit of the contract, is worthy of the great soldier who saved the country from destruction. Repudiators of all grades are classed with the rebels and traitors who sought to de stroy the national life, and will receive no countenance from this administration. IT is safe now to predict that we shall hear no more of the Ku-Klux in the South. For more than a month past, these assas sins have been gradually withdrawing from. the theatre of their bloody deeds. Hence forth there will be no further Ku-Klux murders in the South, because those assas sins no longer have a friend at court. Tke work of blood has ended—Grant will give peace to all the country. THE various religious denominations of the United States, and especially the mem bers of the powe rful Methodist Episcopal Church, have great faith in General Gijiat aad in the prosperity of the Gospel under his admisistration. The General's father is a Methodist, his mother is a Methodist, his wife is a Methodist, and through these channels the General himself is well sea soned with wholesome religious convic tions. THE Scranton Register, the Democratic paper in a banner Democratic county, has suspended. We tender the proprietors, together with those of all Democratic journals, our sympathies.

When a man becomes able to read and write and think a little, he generally leaves the Jack Cade party. Tnz Chicago Tribune assigns good rea-. sons for arguing that the price of wheat will be much lower during the coming year. It concludes its article by saying : ' The best thing that holders can do is to prepare to look their losses In the face as fully as may be, and decide to 'let go, peacefully chance of selling be denied in tot°. The supply is too abundant to admit of a scarcity, and sellers to the great world of consumers are too numerous to admit of thy holders being able to dictate in this matter of prices. Oun exchanges are circulating a story telling bow a big "spotted'? tiger eats lit , tie girls near New Orleans, leaving only their shoes and curls to console their friends. We don't doubt the fact that there is tiger, perhaps several of them, in New deans and vicinity, but their ravages are generally confined to fast young men, shirks and - thlr dbolish employers. Some times the tiger swallows a handsome store building at a single bite, with all its con tents, and then washes the dry-goods or hardware down with a good sized wine shop. The same species of tiger has been "spotted" in several other cities at dillbr ent times. AN eilbrt will be made at the next elec• tion for County Superintendent in Chester county (in May next.) to have the office filled by a &male. The candidate will be Miss Maria L. Sanford, of Unionville, who is a graduate of the Connecticut SW, Normal School, and a lady of eminent qualifications, energy and ability to 811 the position. The State Superintendent of Common Schools has decided that there is nothing in The law to prevent the eleo tion of a tb node for County Superinten dent. In the southern part of the county of Chester, where Miss Sanford has been reaidin.g and teaching, she is quite mu lar, and will be strongly urged and inp portiA by tchool dir.. , •tot., and men of in fluence.
