I come, I Dome, ye have called me long ; -
I come o'er the mountains, with light and song;
Ye may trace my steps o'er the waking earth
By the winds, which tell of the violet's bi•th;
By the primrose stars In the shadowy grass ;
By the green leaves openitig as I pass.
I have looked o'er the hills of the stormy north;
And the larch has hung all his tassels forth ;
The fisher is out:on the sunny sea,
And the reindeer bounds o'er the pasture free ;
And the pine wears a fringe of softer green,
And the moss looks bright whore my feet hath
been. ,
From the streams and fotints I have loosed the
chain ;
They are sweeping on the silvery main ;
They are flashing down from the mountain
brooks;
They are flinging spray o'er the forest nooks ;
They are bustling fresh from their sparry eaves,
And the earth resounds with - the joy of the
waves.
Away from the haunts of care-worn men,
The waters are sparkling in grdve and glen ;
Away from the chaml* and sullea hearth,
The young leaves are dancing in breezy mirth ;
Their light kerns thrill to the wild wood
strains,
And youth is abroad in my green domains.

MR. BONSALL'S MATOHMAKING,
• My uncle, Alexander McFarlane,
was waiting breakfast, an event very,
uncommon with him, for Aunt Nan
cy was the soul of punctuality. Nev
ertheless she was a : little . late this
Morning. Eight o'clock was the
breakfast hour, and it was now fully
ten minutes past.
Aunt Nancy was nc4 my Uncle
McFarlane's' wife: He, Was a widow
er of some fifteen : years' standing.-
Fifteen years before'llis wife had left
him a delicate little boy for a keep
sake, and had gone away, whispering
with her last breath that she was
very happy. Her mother and sister,
who had come to the house to nurse
her,.remained after her death, ac
cording to Uncle McFarlane's partic
ular request. He would be so glad,
be said, if it were not exacting too
much of a sacrifice, to have Mrs.
Howard and Nancy stay with him,
keep up his-house, and attend to his
little boy. So Mrs. ,Howard, who
was a widow with a very straitened
income, rented her little house in
the New England village where she
had always lived, and came to pre
side over Mr. McFarlane's spacious
mansion and liberal housekeeping in
Greenwich street, New York —my
Uncle McFarlane lived in Greenwich
street, a fact which marks the date
of my story with sufficient exactness.
Mrs. Howard had been dead three
months, and still Aunt Nancy presid
ed over Uncle McFarlane's house
hold. Neither of them had ever
thought of a change as either neces
sary or desirable. Nancy had been
a fair, prim, and somewhat quiet
girl when she came to live in Green
wich street. - She was still a fair,
somewhat prim woman of thirty-five,
with pretty, soft brown hair, violet
blue eyes, and a pure, soft, somewhat
changeful complexion. She was not
in the least like a modern , young la
dy's heroine. She had no „particular
aspirations beyond the limited and
old-fashioned one of doing 'her duty
in that state of life to which it had
pleased God to call her. She did
not consider herself a martyr to un
congenial circumstances, because she
made Uncle McFarlane's shirts and
mended his stockings, and even the
fact of going down 'into the kitchen
to do up his immaculate ruffles, when
old Mrs. Brown's hands were tot)
lame, and the chanibermaid's too un
skillful to be trusted with them, did
pot awaken in her mind any desire
fo rush out into the world in search
of a career. No such fancy had ever
entered Nancy Howard's head. She
was absolutely " contented with her
present condition," willing to go on
making Uncle McFarlane's shirts,
keeping his house spoiling his child,
and " making it pleasant for him,"
as she simply said. Her great pleas
ures consisted in doing muslin em
broidery, visiting the poor, going to

classics, with now and then a novel.
If she had any trials she kept them
to herself, confiding them to no spir
itual director, newspaper editor, or
female friend. Such was Nancy How
ard at five-and-thirty.
My Uncle McFarlane was a fine
gentlerean in the true sense of the
phrase., He was unimpeachable in
integrity; unspotted in morals, in
manners absolutely perfect—a little
set in his way, and possibly some
what particular in eating and drink
ing. He was also given to amusing
himself in a quiet way with the pe
culiarities of those about him. But
he never willingly hurt or neglected
any one, and he had a certain- genial
graciousness of manner, which made
all his empkrps, from Mr. Saunders,
his confidential clerk, down to Black
Sam, the carman, and Davy, the er
rand boy, feel the better when he
spoke to them.
Miss Nancy is a little late this
morning !" observed Uncle hlcFar
lane as Brown, his nan, brought him
the paper :
" Yes, sir. She was out till after
twelve last night, at Sam's, sir !"
1' Indeed! • How was that ?"
" Well, you see, sir, Sam's girl was
took with quick consumption last
spring, =dins wife ain't very
either. Mils Nancy, she's been there
a good deal, and when Snsy was
struck with death last evening, she
sends for her. So Miss ,Nancy, she
went and stayed till it was all over.
It was a great comfort to them, air.
Yon see Sam's wife, she's got a little
young too, and altogether it
comes hud!"
" I should say so, indeed. We
,must see .tbat everything is done,
Brawn. Find out when the funeral
is to be, and let me Inow, and tell
your wife to send them something
comfortable when she goes to mar
ket. But here comes Miss Nancy.
Bend upp breakfast, Brown."
Breakfast win usually a somewhat
silent-mai, save for Alleles chatter
with his aunt; for Kr. McFarlane al
ways read the paper, invariably ask
ing ifus Nancy's permission.

TOWAkDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., MAT 8, 1873.
"Why do yon look at me so' close
ly, Alick ?" asked Miss Nancy, as she
caught her nephew's gaze fixed npor
her.
"I was thinking how pretty you
are !" answered Alick, with his usual
frankness. " I think you are a hun
dred times prettier than Miss Regina
Schuyler, that they make such a fuss
about. And I don't want her for a
stepmother. go, there !"
"What is that - about Miss Schuy
ler ?" asked my uncle, laying down
his paper. "It strikes me that you
are taking rather a ;liberty , with that
young lady—to say' nothing of my
salt"
" - It was n't me, father,; it was Mr.
Bonsall, answered Alick. " Mr. Bon
sall asked me if I would n't like a
pretty young lady like Miss Regina
Schuyler to come into the house; and
I told him no—l didn't want any
one but Aunt Nancy. Then he said
Aunt Nancy was an f old maid; and I
said, if she was forty old maids she
was a' hundred times prettier than
Miss Regina—and so she is!"
"We won't discuss that matter!" ;
said my uncle, ainn_oyed, but repress
ing-his annoyance, as usual. "Yon
need n't mind Mr. Bonsall. We all
know his'ways !"
There was somethinr , 6 in his father's
tone which made Slic k aware that
he had,better drop the subject. Un
cle McFarlane went on with his pa
per, but now and then glanced over
it with an expression of some inter
est. "Nancy is pretty !" ho said to
himself. " There is something in
her face which reminds me 9f my
mother."
Breakfast being over, my uncle put
on his overcoat, asking, as he did so,
his invariable question, " Have you
any commands for the city ?"
" And, by the way, please see that
everything=is done for Sam's family.
The poor woman, will perhaps be the
better for some - iport wine, or ale,
and(let everything be nice about the
funeral. I will taka the expense on
myself. Sam is a good faithful fel
low."
" Nancy is very pretty !"
said my uncle, as he Talked out of
the house. "I never thought much
about it before, bpt she is decidedly
pretty. Miss Regina Schuyler, in
deed,!. _Really Bonsai! is too • bad to
put - such notions into the boy's head."
And Mr. McFarlane pursued his way
to the office, unconscious of the fate
awaiting him there.
!.‘ Any letter:; Saunders ?" he ask
ed; as he passed the clerk's desk. " I
see the packet is in."
" Yes, sir. They are on your desk
and Mr. Bonsalli is waiting to. speak
to you in your room. "What ails Mr.
McFarlane ?" said the clerk t. 'him
self, as his principal passed on. " I
don't believe he ever before forgOt to
ask for•my wife. I hope nothing 'is
wrong." Mr. Saunders had an inva
lid wife, who was indebted- to Mr.
McFarlane for many little comforts.
Mr. Bonsall was waiting in the of
fice. He was a stout man, with red
hair and whiskers, and a bluff, un
compromising ',Annex% He had a
habit, on which Ile prided himself, of
always "speaking his mind " that
is, of saying everything and anything
which came into his head—a habit
which did not cause him to be belov
ed by his acquaintance. He and Un
cle McFarlane had once been part
ners, and therotill kept up a kind of
intimacy, at which many people won
dered.
" Well, Bonsall, how goes - the
world with . you ?" asked my uncle,
leisurely taking off his coat and over
shoes.
"Oh, well enough. If it don't go
to suit me, I make it, that's all!" an
swered Mr. Bonsai]. "But, see here,
McFarlane, I dicln't come to batuly .
compliments. I want to talk to you
'about a serious matter."
" Well, what is it r asked my un
cle, preparing to listen, not without
a longing glance at his foreign letters
and papers.
"I am going to speak my mind, as
I always do !" said Mr. Bonsall. " I
want to know what you mean to do
about Nancy ?"
" About Nancy !" repeated my un
cle, with a little start. " What about
Nancy ?"
"Aye, what about her ? —.that's
just it. Of course you can not go on
as you do now. It was well enough
when the old lady was alive; but her
death changes all that, and folks will
talk. Nancy's an old maid, to be
sure—forty, if she's an hour—"
- " Thirty-five !" said my uncle; cor
recting him.
" Well, five gears don't matter
much. She's an old maid, as I said.-
Still, folks will and do talk, and you
ought to , get rid of her. The truth
is, McFarlane, you ought to marry
again; and of course you can't with
Nancy in the house."
' You think- so ?"
" Why, of course not. There's Miss
Regina Schuyler, now. She'd jump
at the chance of marrying you ; but
you don't suppose she'd ,set up house
keeping with • Nancy Howard„' do
you r'
"I must beg, Bonsall, that yon
will not bring Miss Schuyler's name
into question," said my uncle. "Such
liberties are not to be taken with. re
spactable young ladies."
" Liberty cir not, she would have
you in a minute. And there's another
thing about it. Nancy Howard is
dead in love with you herself, and of
course yon can't marry her—that is
out of the iple.stion."
'" Nancy- itoward 1" repeated my
uncle, in a tone of bewilderment.
-"To be sure, man; Any but you
would have seen it, though Nancy is
not the woman to throw herself at
any man's head, say that for her.
My wife has known this long time,
and I can see it too. Of course you
can't marry her. She is too old, and
poor, • and plain, and in delicate
health besides. So, of coarse, all
you can do is to get rid of her. - Send
her home to her native pbice with a
on, marry Regina Schuyler,-and :
4 .1 life anew." -
"Does Mrs. Bowan really think
that—that Miss Howard entertains
inch sentiments ?" asked my uncle,
as Mr. Bonsai paused a moment.
" Women see such things more clear
ly than men."
"Of course she does. She was
talking of it last night. 'Ninety ought
to ba» s ohange.' says she ; if the
YBOX ♦IT QUART Z&
dot.% she'll. go off like her sister.
S:ie's a quiet, patient creature,' says
she
_thut it is easy to see what -ails
her. 4 Now, you'see, her being con-.
snmptive is another reason why von
can't marry her. So, there ! i've
spoken my mind, as I always do, and
I hope yon will have sense enough to
act upon it."
" I shall certainly act upon it,"
said Ty uncle calmly.
"And soon, I hope-!" said Mr.
Bonsai, rising. " The sooner the
better."
" The sooner the,better !" echoed
my uncle. "I quite agree with you.
Thank you, Bonsall, thank you!"
' think I did a good piece of
work this morning !" said Mr. Bon
sall to his wife,- as ho was preparing
to go out.; "I spoke to McFarlane
about Nancy!" - And ho repeated the
substance of the conversation.. Mrs.
Bonsall was a. quiet, kind hearted
woman; but, like her husband, she
sometimes spoke her mind. She did
so on this occasion.
"Bonsai!, you are an idiot ! Most
men are in such matters, and you are
a perfect one."
Mr. Bonsai] looked as if some one
had 'thrown a wet towel in his face.
"Why, Mary . Aline! What'S that
for ?" •
"You'll find out soon enough. (3o
along,: do, and leave me in'peace."
Mr. Bonsall Was always very meek
when hi 4 wife took these rare fits of
plain speaking, and he shut the door
without another word. Mrs. Bonsall
sat looking at the fird with an expres
sion- of vexation; which gradually
changed to one of kindnef.s, •
" After-all it - might be worse," said
she, speaking' to
,the fire; "Nancy is 'a
good soul, and .as s‘*veet as" honey.
She will make 'him happy, and be
happy herself, and it will be good for
the boy. But I think I see Bousall's
face when he hears of it I"
For two hours my uncle sat 'look
ing thiough his office window with
out even thinking of his letteri. Then
he drew a deep breath, as of one re
lieved of a doubt, and turned to his
correspondence. Ile did not go
home to dinner, but left the °Me
early, stopping at a florist's, where
he bought some beautiful house
flowers, and two nice hyacinth I?ulbs
in pretty glasses, which last= he skot
to Mrs. Sannder'.
"Yather, may I go up and see
Torn Slunders? " dsked Alick after
tea. And : Nat:y.3- was sitting :It her
work tableofre.,ll and neat from top
to toe. She was composed as usual,
but my uncle fauci-d he observed a
slight 'chauge in her manner towards
him—Probablx Alick's remarks might
disturb her.„alittle. -c
" Certainly, my-son. And be sure
to ask, particularly, how Mrs. Saun
ders finds herself. I quite forgot it
this morning. I was the more ready
to let :hick go as I wish to consult
you on a mat ---- inti -, ortanee
ns both:' And tit! usu
al kind, sornew)eat formal he
opened the`subject. He was d , st ---
ous, he said, of going abroad for
some time, perlmps for souse years.
He thought thi. ch Inge would be
good for Alick, who showed signs of
delicate lungs.
Aunt Nancy's heart fluttered and
her color went and came ; but she
had long been schooled in self con
trol, and she made no other sign.
"It ison't be for long!" said the quiet,
breakinr , heart to itself; littlo gues
sing what was in store.
My uncle continued. , I don't know
exactly how he worded . it, but he
ado it...plain that neither ho nor the
boy could live without Nancy.-
Would Nancy concent to become his
wilit - and be a mother to 4iek in
fact, as slie had long been in name?
And so hi an hour the matter was
all settled. -
"We are are asked to a wedding?"
said Mrs. Bonsall to her husband
some six weeks afterward.
"A wedding—whose wedding?"
asked Mr. Bonsai], not greatly inter
ested.
"Nancy Howard's !"
"Nancy - Howard's you don't
mean—" The idea which occurred
to Mr. Bonsall fairly struck him
dumb.
"Yes ; Nancy and 3lTarlane 1"
answeredlis wife, enjoying her lord's
discomfiture. "They are to• be mar
ried at St. Paul's, very quietly, and
sail for Europe as soon as possible."
"The dquce they are. And after
all I said to him !"
1 - --
" After all you said to him !" echo
ed Mr. I3ortsall. " The moment yon
told-me *hat you said to him, and
especially as to Nancy's being talked
obont, I knew yon bad' made the
match. Yon could have got him to
marry. old Mic ci Paget in the same
way.
"But such a sacrifice, Miry Anne!"
" Oh, well, I don't know. I dare
say ho might feel'it a little of a sacri
fice just at first; but by this time he
haS persuaded -himself that there
never . was such a woman, and that
the favor was all on her aide. I don't
think, for. my part, McFarlane will
ever regret it"
And I don't think Uncle McFar
lane ever did.—From the Aldine for
May.

Creatures of the sea is not very' dis

," The most prominent mem- -

The ancient : Greeks, though thew
never reached the state of luxury and
effeminacy of the Assyrians, Babylo
nians, Chaldeans, Medes, Persians
and Phoenicians:- were not behind
them in attention to hygiene and' all
the more elegant and,useful - matters
connected with the-arts of dreSs and
of. toilet. Rhe Greeks, moreover, first
cultivated a love for ideal beauty,
and to them, to a great extent, man
kind is indebted for the highest ef
forts of plastic art. The Greeks;, the
ancient Romans, the modern Italians
reached to the loftiest flights of art.
Their respective countries gave birth
to the greatest artistic geniuses, and
produced -the handsomest
.models;
Phidias, Traxitelles, Apelles;as well
as Michael Angelo,. Ratlnelle,
sculptured or drew frOin nature.
They sought the most i hcatiful of
their - species as models for z their imi
tation; but even from these they cull
ed only individual perfections, and
uniting them in one subject, accord
ing to the immutable principles of
proportion which constitute abstract
beauty, produced their master pie7ce?..
The mythology of the Greeks was
founded on beauty. The majesty of
Juno, the loveliness of Venus, the
chaste fairness of Diana; were deem
eti.fit subjects for their worship. The
three Graces, Euphrosine,
and Thalia, as well as the nine Must s
were charming members of a heaven
ly system, founded on poetry, harmo
ny and elegance.
_The Carthaginians and Sicilians,
paid early attention to the cosmetic
arts and to dress, and from Sicily the
first barber was taken to •i . Rome,
about three hundred years s.le. The
conquerors of the world were the:,
little better than rude and Unculti
vated barbarians. Gradually refine
ment crept in ; the bath was intro.
duced; and in time the taste' of the
Romans appeared to be as great in
matters of the toilet' as •in sculpture
and v ia oratory. The - r barber rose- to
be a man of some importance, and
made himself, indispensable in: a va
r'fity of ways, and a bungler would
hive subjected himself to'a. chastise
ment at the'hands of his customers.
The fashionable ladies of Rome car
ried artificial styles of dress and or
naments to an excess which has no
parallel in modern times. They spent
large sums of money and a consider
able portion of their time in articles
and operations of their toilet, arid
particularly. in the bath. The de-.
scription Qf this operation shows a
degree of folly, vanity and voluptu-_

and raised the cry:of •"G ve us back

Russians still retain the Old Style,
so- th l at there is now a, difTerence of
twelve days -between their date - and
ours, because they hM‘e 'considered

By the - Roman mode of reckoning,
the 24th of February was called. the

"There is Alfred Sutton home
with Yds, family to live on the - old
folks," said one neighbor to , another. .
"It seems- hard, after all his father
has done to fit him for busineSs,, and -
the capital lie , invested to start; him
so fairly'. It is surprising he has -
turned oat so poorly.. Ho is a steady
young man, no bad habits, as far as
I know; 1 he had . &good 'education,
and was always considefed smart';
but he doesn't succeed in anything.
141 told he has tried a number of -
different sorts of business, and sunk'.
money every time. 'What \ can be th 97:
trouble with Alfred?. I- should like
to know for 1.-don't Ivan% I ray-boy td
take hialturn.”
_ .
"-Alfred is smart enough," said the
other,
"and has educatioh enough,.
but he lacks the one clement of suc
cess. He never wants to give a dol
lar's worth of work for a dollar of
money; and there is no other *ay
for a young man to -make his fortune:
He must dig if he wojild, get gold..
All the men that hake succeeded;
honestly or dishonestly, in making,
money, have had to work for it—the
sharpers sometimes the ,hardest of
all. Alffedikvished to, set his train
in motion, and let it 'take care of it
self. - No wonder it Boon run off the
track, and a smash-up_was the re
sult. Teach your ; boy, friend Archer,
to Nark with a. will when he ,aloes
work. Give him play enough to make
him healthy and happy, but let hint
learn early that work is the'business
. of life. Patient, self-denying work
is the price of Success. Ease and in,
dolence- eat away not capital drily,but
worse, still, all a man's nerve power.-
Prese4 gratification tends to put off
duty until• to-morrow or nex week,
and_so the'goideri moments slip by.
It is getting to be ti rare thing for
the sons, f rich men to die rich. Too
often they squander..in - half a score
of years what their fathers . were a
lifetime in amnia - Writing. I wish ' I -
could ring: it in the ear of • everniel
piring young man that. work, hard
work,, of head and handb, is the price
of iraoo(llll,—cottutry Gentleman.
