'What are trifies---wao may gases
All a trifle's meaning?
&mitered ears - on lice's broad field
For a wise one's gleaning.
Noughf - but'hath its work on earth,
" 'Fraught with pain or pleasure,
Links in nature's mystic chain,
Though of tiniest meinuire.
But a trifle seems a word . •
• .All unkindly spoken,
Yet the life-harp waileth low
For a goltAtring broken.
But a trifle steams the smile
On a kind face beaming,
Yet a faint heart groweth strong,
'Neath its gentle gleaming.
Just a look may waken thoughts
Full of proud resentment—
Just a look may fill the soul
With ; a glad contentment ;
Little prayers of. children fair,
By, their mother kneeling,
Touch a worn and weary heart,
With a child-like feeling.
But a flower's perfume may bear
Back through years of sorrow,
The sunny morn of life,
With a bright to-morrow—
And a tress of 'silken hair
°ma young brow parted,
Wake a fount of bitterest tears,
For the broken-hearted.
'Twas a single rain-drop fell
Oa a green bud thirsting,
strengthened by the fairy draught,
Lo; a flower is bursting;
And an acorn lightly flung
In.a pathway dreary,
spread an oak's broad shadows oat,
To refresh.the weary.
Trickling from the mountain-height,
Through the beech roots stealing,
See, a thread of silver light,
Sunbeams are revealing.
Drop by drop it gathers fast,
Never resting, never,
Till it swells and flashes forth,
In a glorious river.
Trifles! each one bath a part
In our pain or pleasure,
Making up the daily sum
Of our life's brief measure;
All unnoted as they pass,
Scarcely worth our heeding,
Yet, a trifle it may be,
God's own work is speeding.
THE MEN FOR THE TIMES
Give us the nerve of steel,
And the arm of fearless might,
And the strength of will that is ready still
To battle for the right.
. Give us the eye to weep
That honest tear of feeling,
That shuts not down for the world's dread frown
The genuine heart revealing.
•
Give us the mind to feel
The sufferings of another,
And fearless power in the dying hour
To help a suffering brother.
Give us the 'clear, cool brain
That is never asleep or dozing;
But springing ever, with bold endeavor,
Wakes the world from its prosing.
Ah, give us the nerve of steel,
And the hand of fearless might,
And the heart that can love and feel,
And the head that is always right
For the feeman is now abroad,
And the earth is filled with crimes ;
Let it be our prayer to God,
Oh, give us the men for the times.
ALONE.
A restless, sad, longing little heart was
beating under a worn calico dress, in a
little room in Fourth street. Tears as
warm and grief-swollen as any that • gash
from woman's eyes crept down the cheek a
little way, paused, crept on a little further,
waited, trembled, and then swelling as the
bosom swells with sighs, ran down the
maiden's cheek and fell upon the faded
chintz. Through and through, and
through again, slipped the nimble needle,
shining with the never-ending attrition of
muslin and linen and silk. The Argus
eyed thimble—nothing better than steel,
though worn to the polish of silver—
clicked against the needle, pressing it
through the close fabric into the calloused
finger-tip, fretted and notched and black
ened by many another needle-point, dur
ing many a weary day and rainy a weary
night.
A cooking stove, one other chair, two
beds, a few dishes on a shelf in the corner,
a broom, a large stone pitcher, a bonnet
and shawl, a few pieces of stove furniture,
half a dozen - plants in rough wooden boxes
on the window sill, four or five books on
the one table—these comprised the furni
ture.
The room was elevated far above the
noise and dust of the city street—above
the usual flight of city pigeons even ;
in
the fifth story ; and the roof in sloping had
out off a corner of the ceiling. The little
low windows—a pair of stunted ones—
did the best they could with the sunlight,
but were too much crowded by the falling
roof to accomplish much.
Had you slipped noiselessly in—which
you could not have done, in fact, for the
sagging of the door and its heavy scraping
upon the threshold—you would have been
struck first by the bareness, and then by
the singular neatness of the attic room.
A little black and white kitten would
have glanced up at you from a soft bed of
cotton in its own corner, or skipped,
frightened, upon the smaller bed of the
two ; and the still figure in the window
would have presented only a bowed head,
but busy fingers, and a worn and faded
print.
But if your tread had been heard upon
the stairs, and mistaken for that of an old
man, just before you reached the threshold,
you would have heard a springing step
upon the attic floor, the door would have
scraped open with a good natured growl, a
pair of black eyes would have shone out
at you from a face wreathed in smiles, and
possibly, in the shadow and haste, you
might have got a pair of arms about your
neck. At any rate, you would have fol
lowed a tall, lithe figure into the room,
and on taking your seat would have found
yourself vis-a-vis with as expressive and
proud a face as ever shoue from voluptuous
plush, airy laces, rustling silk, and spark
ling diamonds.
_ Indeed, while the tear drops were fall
ing under the pressure of thoughts which
the heart could not possibly hide under its
lifting lid, a step was heard upon the
stairs,.. the. staircase did creak, like the
stag;Ariver'a horn, with the news of .a
coming; the door did open, and a pair of
arms were flung- passionately about the
neck of a white-haired old man.
Jennie had been crying of thoughts
aroused by a brief walk in a populous
street that afternoon.
She avoided these better thoroughfares
when.she could, hurrying along'where the'
streets are narrow and dingy = wheru the
glisteriing'of ' silk' and the tiemblirig of
plumes is seldom seen—where bright eyes
rand fair faces radiate only from faded and
worn surroundiagi. But , . .this _afternoon
'her errand to-the store had taken her
through one of the - oomely streets. Indeed,
'it stood itself on .the vet) , corner of Main
street, around which - hteman tides swept,
eddying, every -hour She had 'seen
poverty, comfort and wealthplaiuness,
- comeliness, beauty—stupidity, sense, iutel
Sitting at her low window in the dull,
unseemly room, worn, •tired, 'discouraged•
with the labors and forebodings of life,
Jennie's thoughts could do no less than
bring tears. She was thinking of the
happiness which floated about her in the
crowded street; of the laughing eyes ; of
-the haughty tread ; of faces briming with
'careless merriment and condone beauty.
She had seen hundreds in that one street
—hundreds of maidens to whom she was
consciously superior. And this was not
egotism in the weeping girl. Does the doe
imagine itself a snail, or the eagle fancy
itself a bine jay 7 Was it wrong that all
this beauty, all thii innate refinement, all
this spirit and taste and mentality, should
pine and sorrow for want of that apprecia
tion for Which we all long and strive I'
And if Jennie wept that her scant and
faded calico had , drawn forth seers, as
though it were herself and not the acci
dent of covering; and if she wept that
simple-minded and narrow-thonghted girls
carried themselves proudly, and won at
tention, while she slipped meanly into by
ways, and shrunk from the observation
which was cold and contemptuous, can we
blame her 1 She was a woman, - with a
woman's beauty and a woman's power.
But alas ! Jennie was caged by circum
stances, her jewels covered with the dust
of labor, her young life hidden, and dull,
and sad.
Besides, an incident at the store had
wounded her severely, and re-awakened
her consciousness of weakness and semi
degradation. It was this : She had taken
a bundle of work to the inspecting clerk,
and thence had been directed to the cash
ier with a ticket for her pay. On former
occasions she had suffered from curious
and wicked glances while passing the
clerks of several departments, as well as
from a peculiar tone in which the cashier
addressed her. To-day she was either
more painfully sensitive or the glances of
admiration were more disgustingly promi
nent; and the caster, after fumbling as
long as possible, handed her the silver she
had earned with a careless but insulting
remark, Jennie flashed with indignation,
threw the money upon the counter, and
curling her lip with scorn left the desk.
A hand touched her arm, and a kind voice
said : Wait a moment, Miss Dell,' in so
assured and commanding a way that she
involuntarily paused. The gentleman
stepped up to the cashier, struck him a
smart blow on the side of his face with the
palm of his hand, tipping him over, took
the vacated stool at the desk, and by the
time the fellow had picked himself up, had
balanced his account, was ready for him
with the residue of his wages. Then lead
ing the fellow to the door by the arm, he
kicked him into the street. All this was
done so coolly, with so much ease and
gentlemanly decision, that. Jennie could
take no exception to even the , last act of
the drama.
My store will be safe to you in future,
Miss Dell, but I will not put you t 6 the
inconvenience of - bringing your work. I
will send a boy for it,' and directing a lad
to take the lady's bundle, Mr. Brewer
bowed Jennie out of the store before she
had time to cry or do anything more than
thank him with a glance, which breaking
from her late indignation, - was a curious
intermingling of pride and gratitude.
The incident had recalled for the hun
dredth time a terrible consciousness of her
unprotected situation, and she felt more
keenly than ever the utter helplessness of
poverty. Sometimes the blood of a proud
ancestry dashed to her cheeks and throb—
bed at her temples ; but the next instant
woman tears chased down her cheeks.
lam so glad you have come father. I
have been so very lonely, and I was fear
ful something had happened."
The old man bent a little to kiss the
eyes of his daughter—kissing her eyes was
the emphasis of his affection—and his, Jips
were moistened by a tear which Jennie had
unwittingly left there in the haste of brush
ing them away to meet his coming step.
What is this, daughter l Crying, my
child ? You are not sick, dear 1 Why, I
thought my brave girl never cried how
ever dark the day might be;; and with a
hand on each shoulder the white-haired
man held the bright-faced daughter at
arm's length before him, gazing loving'
inquiries into her eyes.
Not a trace of sadness was in the
beaming face of the daughter now ; so
after meeting his gaze laughingly a mo
ment Jennie slipped to his side,
leaned
close to his shoulder, clasping his arm in
her hands and ,said :
Oh, nothing of any moment, father.—
We women have little 'foolish thoughts
and troubles of our own when we •are left
alone all day. But When father, comes
back again Jennie is happy enough, isn't
she V and the girl looked into his face
with so much of beauty, and smile, and
joy, that the old man forgot the dew-drop
which had dried on his lips, and went to
wondering what made his daughter so
happy, alone and hard at work in that
sober room all day.
The father forgot the sadness sooner
for a jewel of good tidings which he was
holding tight in his heart, longing to give
it to his daughter, but wondering whkt
was the most perfeot way to show it.—
Whether to raise the lid with a spring
and permit Koh-i-nor to flash with, its
lightning full in her fame at once, or to,

might catch its brilliance ray by ray and
beard by beam. While the daiighter was
making the 'tea-kettle

then pouring sputtering water into the
little blaokltea-pot;in the 'bottom of which'
very •few but very 'die little -leaves lay

matter over. While the torpid little

Straighten the stiffening limbs, lone

The blow was a terrible one. Not alone
that this was her father, but the best, the
noblest, the dearest of fathers. Not
alone that this was her stay and compan
ion, but her only support and her only
frind. Now she was alone. Alone.
When all hope of restoration was gone,
Jennie stood erect a little way from the
bed, her head buried in her hands, and
let the tide of loss and loneness sweep
over her. in •that instant of time she
drank the full cup and tasted each and
every bitter ingredient. This made her
calm. Another nature might have sunk ;
she was lifted, strengthened. All the
energies of her heartcame into active life;
and now, tearful or quiet, busy or still,
she was the same strong, self-conseious
woman she had ever been. She was even
stronger and more calm.
A quick step upon the stairs and a care
less rap at the door. It was the bright
faced lad with a bundle.
Mr. Brewer says as how this is nicer
work, and you may send back the other
bundle,' said the little fellow, boy-like, as
he came abruptly into the room, his face
beaming with pleasure and exercise. s Oh,
Miss and the boy fell into awe
stricken quiet as he felt the presence of
death.
The second day before the burial; when,
with the aid of an old woman below, the
body had been carefully prepared, a differ
ent step was heard upon the staircase, and
a careful knock at the door. Mr. Brewer
entered without a word, gave his hand,
and sat down. Then gently alluding to
her loss, asking to look on the features
of her father, noticing her plants in the
window, he led the conversation into ap
propiate channels, and, without a single
profession, made Jennie to feel that here
was a true and appreciative friend.
Gradually the talk receded from the
sad topics of the chamber of death to
more general subjects—to such thoughts
as we find written in books, and such con
clusions as we reach in long meditations
and careful analyzings. In this her visitor
was struck with the clearness and stretch
of thought of the humble girl at his side.
And she found herself roused and quick
ened by the ontdrawing influence of a
superior but congenial mind.
Thence the conversation was brought
gently to personal affairs, where, at length,
a point was gained at which Mr. Brewer
ventured to ask
Have yo no other friends but this V
None in all the world, except, perhaps,
a brother.'
Mr. Brewer could scarcely ask a further
question. Breaking the silence, Jennie
said :
My younger brother, Robert, left us
three, years ago—he was only fifteen then
—in the rush to California, thinking that,
though only a boy, he might bring baok
gold enough to make his father comfort
able for life. We heard of his arrival and
a promising beginning, but nothing since.
Two years ago we came to live at this end
of the city, and possibly at 'that time he
changed his location. At any rate his let
ters have never reached us, nor have ours
reached him. The other day, when father
came home, he had received tidings from
him, for he said so just as he was dying ;
but the news itself died on his lips, and I
have, no clue whatever to its nature.
Brother Robert was a noble boy, Sir, the
bravest and best boy I ever knew.'
Just here the tears would come, and a
long silence followed.
Mr. Brewer had brought a purse with a
little gold in it, thinking to slip it into the
hand of the girl whose trials 'had so
touched his sympathy ; but when he arose
to go the act seemed impossible; he did
not dare to do it; he could only ask, with
the deepest respect.
4 Can I be of any service to you I'
4 I thank you very much for your call,
Mr. Brewer—very much. There is only
one thing you 'can do for me—employ me
if my work pleases you.'
No need to follow the plain board coffin
—rough casket for such a father—to its
place among the silent poor in the great
city cemetery. If the faded shawl clung
close to the poor girl's form, chilled by
the autumn wind, dropping tears upon the
turf alone by the poor man's grave, under
it beat as warm a daughter's heart and
lived as rich a woman's nature, as ever
moved gay and proud in choicer and hap
pier scenes.
Jennie could not and would not leave
the dear old room, hallowed now by the
meinory . of a sainted father. She lived
there alone. There was no objection to it
now t _ for only a young and elastic tread
waked_ the creakings' hi the ldng flight of
old' stairs.
The bright faced boy came and wont
every .:day with a bundle. The work WU
very nice, and the pay so much better. as
`to give a new:chintz of a deep brown with
a tiny white ,figure. M. Brewer came,
occasionally. He slid quietlY into < the
place of a friend, brought books for Jennie
to read, and then discussed their contents

grew into a need, and then a necessity.
No reasonings, no wilful Checkings, no
self•ocndionnation even; Could stay the
growth , of that giant presence by which at
last covered and overpowersd. In
vain Jennie flashed indignation on herself
that she 'should love the loved of another
woman heart—a husband and father. In
vain she wept, and struggled, and prayed.
The chains grew tighter and tighter, hold
ing her to a misery to which all the sad
nesses of her life bore no comparison.
The afternoon sun of a September. Sab
bath wrapped in a . oherry light the dark,
sea-washed hull of.an ocean steamer com
ing up the bay - to the crowded pier.
At the same moment, Jennie's friend
turn down a dull, dark street, entered a
door-way, and ascended creaking stairs.
It was one of the pleasures of Jennie's
room that, far away over the brick houses
with their smoked. and smoking chimneys,
lay the always changing picture of the
bay. To-day, after a long discussion of
the beauties and blemishes, first of The
Old Curiosity Shop, and then of. De
Quincey's 'sConfession,' with other and
minor talk, Jennie touched upon the
scenery of the bay, with its white winged
butterflies and the black beetle that, an
hour or two before, had been crawling up
the harbor.
'I always think,' she said, when I look
out upon the harbor, that perhaps some
day it will bring my brave brother home
to me ; and then I shall: not be alone, nor
unhappy, nor 'tired anymore. Oh.'' if I
could only know whether he is living or
dead-whethet I shall ever have him
again !'
The tears would come,and her eyes
were all glistening as she looked into the
face of her friend.
Mr. Brewer seemed absent, yet present ;
tender, yet ill at ease. The thought
darted into her mind Perhaps he knows
more of my brother than I'-it was so new
a thing to see him perturbed.
Have I ever told you anything of my
self V he asked at length.
Never.'
Upon this he moved a chair close beside
her, but so as not to meet her glance, and
told the story of, hi life, down to the
present, hour.- It was told concisely; but
all the prominent facts were there. Then
changing his place, taking , her. cold hand,
and looking into her eyes he brought
tears to them again, and blushes to her
face, by the'question,

Jennie whispered—she,coradn't find-her
voice-- . •
Will I? I always have.
When they had both found words for
other sentences, and Jennie had been
talking, Mr. Brewer exclaimed,
Manned ! I never even loved before.'
A slow step was heard on the staircase,
a gentle rap at the door, and a pale young
man entered.
Jennie !'
Robert 1'
And the maiden had another joy added
to the sweetest bliss of life.
But Robert had come home to die—to
die as the day dies, slowly receding to the
other side of life.
He had brought the gold which he had
spent his young life in earning fpr the, two
at home. One had no need of gold now;
the other had no wish for it, but the dust
was hers ; and when the weeks had gone
in whioh they had sweetened his receding
with the breath of love, leaving him at last.
where flowers grown upon living stalks,
and chains and clusters out in snowy
marble, made his last home beautiful, it
flowed from her own and her husband's
hands in channels which gladdened many
a poor girl's life, and made the sister and
her, kther noble self banner for the joy of
thus making his lost life bloOm again in
many a relighted eye and rekindled cheek.
FAMILY ESTIIILLTES.—whiIe there are
families in which there exists a•.prepos
terous over-estimate of the talents and ac
quirements of their several members, there
are other families in which the rifle bullet
has glanced off in the opposite direction,
and in which there exists a depressing and
unreasonable under-estimate of the talents
and, acquirements of their several mem
bers. 1 have known such a thing as a
family, in which certain boys during their
early education, had it ceaselessly drilled
into them that they were the idlest; stu
pidest and MOSt ignorant boys in the world.
The poor little fellows grow up under that
gloomy belief that they are very bad At.
•length, happily, they went to a great
public school ; and like rockets they went
up forthwith to the top of their classes,
and never lost their places there. From
school they went to the university, and
there won hotints more eminent, than had
ever been won before. It will not surprise
people Who know much of hnnian nature
to be told thatihroaghthis brilliant,oareet
of school andoollege work the home belief
in their idleness and ignorance continued
unchanged, and hardly at its end was the
toil-worn senior—wrangfei regarded as
other than an idle and useless bloek-head.

under-estimate

The female fiend" is seen in all parts of
the country. She is confined to no espe
chit locality. In the church--on the side
walk—in the leetnre room—amid a party
Of girls, or in the company of matrons—
everywhere, you will see the female fiend.
But she delights above all things to squat
down by the hearthstone, and spit her
venom in the very bosom of Home. The
female fiend does not resemble those devils
who are delineated iri old Picture books.
She has neither horns, nor cloven foot, nor
forked tail... She wears the exterior of
WOMAN and very often a neatly dressed,
modestlooking and smooth spoken woman.
Her voice is low and persuasive. She sets
homes on fire with a hint. She separates
husbands and wives with a E lie, cleverly
told and well spiced 'with expressions of
affection. She rakes up old family quar
rels—knows everything bad that has hap
pened to every man and woman in the
neighborhood within twenty years—and it
is her work to plant hatred in the Home,
Suspicion among friends, and discord on
earth wherever she goes. The female fiend
may be virtuous, (as far, as the body is
concerned) or she may be unchaste, but
her soul is the soul of a prostitute. She
has a low opinion of her own sex. She be
lieves every woman to be in heart a
rake,' therefore she lets no occasion pass
without doing her best. to make it appear.
that Miss Jones is a corrupt girl, and that
Mrs. Smith is an unchaste wife. - She is
always sure that' Mr. Smith never goes
Out with good intentions ; nay, she is sat
isfied that he goes out to mingle with the.
abandoned. She knows matters about this
one and that one which she could tell if
she would. If she would tell, the roofs
would come off the houses—only she don't
choose to tell. So dexterous a hinter is
the female fiend.
The female fiend is found everywhere.
She does a large business in a small neigh
borhood. She spits vitriol and brimstone
in country towns. In the city, she is more
circumscribed in her operations.; bat even
there she manages to drive a brisk traffic
for the good of her master, the Devil.
she works more mischief in the world than
any prostitute, gambler, or murderer, that
ever lived. She cultivates lying into a
business, and - maked slandei one of the
fine arts. .ovoid the female fiend. Shun
her in church—at the evening iatty-on
the sidewalk—in the Home—shtin her as
yon would, cholera or murder.. Keep her
out of the company of your wife and sister ;
for the sake of all that yen hold dear,
never permit your family to come within
the circle of the female fiend.
As a matter of curiosity, let us ask you,
reader, have you a fetattle fiend in your

The Paris correspondent of the Boston
Traveler tells the following very good
A story is
. told upon Rayner,-,the emi
nent. -physician :Itere..: Re was called in
eix,weeks ago to attencl.a sick : child.: The
child—it was the. only child of wealthy
parents—recovered its , health. A few
days after Rayner had ditzieontinued his
visits, . the mother of the little invalid
- called on the, Doctor. She said: My
Dear Doctor, there are:services rendered
in this world which money cannot pay. I
know not how we could adequately reward
you for your kindness and attentions and
skill to poor Ernest. And' I have• thought
that, perhape, you would be good'enough
to accept this little porte monaie - =a mere
trifle—but which I embroidered.' . 4 Porte
monaie roughly replied the D,ootor.
4 Medicine, Madame; is not a sentimental
profesiion. When we are called in to visit
sick people, we want their Tees 'and not
their gratitude. (":,1-iatitticle 7 -humbug 'd
I like to see gratietide' make the pot boil ;
and I have not only to make my pot boil,
but I have got my horse to feed, Madame,
and daughters to portion, Madame—and
gratitude won't aid me - to do anY - Of these
things. -Money is what is wanted—money,
Madame = yes, money '. The lady was, as
you may imagine; confounded by this burst
of indignant talent, and she could only
stammer; But—Doctor—what is your
fee My feels twe thonSand francs
and I tell you; Madaine,'there is no use
screaming about it. I will not take one
sou less.'* The lady did not scream. She
quietly opened , the porte monaie I em
broidered,' unrolled the five bank notes
in it, gave two to the doctor, placed the
other three , in the porte monaie, and the
latter in her pocket, ,and bowed profound
ly, Good morning, Doetor,,',. and made
her exit. .
Ix my time, Miss,;' said a stern 'aunt,'
' the men looked at the women's face's'
instead of their ankles! ' 6Ah ! bat,
my dear . aunt,' retorted the young lady,
you see the world has improved, and is
more civilized than it, used, to be.
looks more to, the mderfitanding. '
A few days 'since, a 'friend of snine,
walking down town, saw a little boy pin
ching his younger brother, who was crying
bitterly. .
6 Why, my boy,! said she to the young
tormentor,' don't you know youare doing
very wrong 1 What would you do if you
should kill your brother ? ' • ,
4 Why,' he,replied, of.course I should
put on my , new black pants and go, to the
funeral ! '

went. I have received at my Agricultural Implement and
Seed Warehouse a large stock of the Telegraph Hay, Straw
and.Cornfodder Critters, four, elites, Nos. 1,2, s and tly Suit. ;
able for large' r small Farmers.
The' Telegraph Hay, Straw mid Cornfodder Cutter
acknowledged to be the best Cutter now. in use. We claim
a great: many advantages over any now manufacturid: let,'
It has the down cut, ail the strain is on the frame where
-It should be; 2d, It is geared'on both sides, and Is not Ea- , ' „
ble to wear or, got out of repute'; 3d, The. Noe, 1-arid S are
double.geared, and can be changed to cut different lengths ;
the Shortest out is 1 - piems - to one inch forCornfodder ; in
Ave minutes they can be, changed to cut scant 34 inch for
Hay or Straw. The band-wheel can (on the No. 2) be '
, changed on either side of the Cutter to suit the power. , --
The 'greatest advantage lif3 claim is the power. We can do '-
as muttimork with one horse as those can (that Arstent, ti
then crush) with three.
Oar cutter will cut shorter and "make better feed; than
those those that first cut s then crush.
,We all know, the
rnore'ralwer it requires to drive a Cutter the'sooner it will
get out of repair. We will give a few references to Farmere..,
