Welcome, gleams of green—of amber!
Children t playmates I out and see,
Floating &um her lee-bound chamber,
Spring, the flower-crowned spring, set free!
Sea her blue eyes, glad to weeping,
O'er the wan world open anew
O'er the meadt, fresh waters leaping,
Silvery-stepp'd, and tuneful, too
Singing, ringing, wildest measure,
Wild as if gone mad with pleasure.
Now the warm rrtys' noonday brightness
Wakts the sleepy flowers below—
Some like gentleghosts, all whitenms—
Borne like maiden cheeks that glow—
Jonquils pale—how pale, but sweeter,
Bieber than the rose of June;
Daffodils whose day is fleeter,
Born-like smiles and Inst as anon,
Pansies clad In wondrous glory,
Rare us kings in Eastern story.
Yonders' where the sparkling showers
Fall like music heard in sleep,
There have burst the crocus flowers,
Laughing out while cloudlets weep,
Time of beauty—time of blessing—
Sunny childhood of the year,
Earth, so torn ere thy caressing,
Blooms like one whom angels cheer;
Kiss her, clasp her, tend her kindly
She has sorrowed long and blindly.
Surrow'd childless, bloomless. blighted,
Like a mother gone distraught—
Alt! that young smile rapture lighted,
Nestling there new life has a nought;
Lilies weave her brow's soil splendor,
Crown'd with grms—the jewel dews,
Violets dark her mild eyes render,
Almond pink her chtrks sulftist.!
Kea her, clasp her—soundest slumbers
Soon must melt at such warn' numbers
O'er her shoulders thickly sire:fining
Mac, laburnum knots of gold;
Ringlets rich in radiance gleaming,
As were Ab>olt•nt•s of old ,
Now she wakes—slur pants—she rises—
Standing midst the milk-while boughs,
Bride-like I full ut sweet surprises,
Bride-like hushing while she vows,
Now she walks the world in beauty—
Now sweet love becomes a duty.

TOM FOSTE lI'S WIFE
I had just returned from a two years'
stay in Europe, and was sauntering down
Tremont street in the golden ;September
morning, when sity my old frimul, Tom
Foster, get out of a horse ear a few steps
in advance of me. I knew him in a
moment, thongh we had hardly met since
we were at Eater Academy together. ten
years before, room mates and blithe com
panions until me parted—l :to go in
Harvard-and he to enter his father's store,
the well known house of Foster & Co.
"Why, John Italston I Is this yon?
Where did you come from? I am glad
to see you my boy. Why I haw n't set
eyes on you since we made the trip to
!4ahant in your Frodiman year. The
troth is, father was so poorly for a long
time then that I had everything to see
to, and felt as if the world was on my
shoulders. I did hear, though, about
your college honors and your going to
Germany; and I've often thought of you
lately and wished to see you. Why Jack.
in spite of my weight and your beard
and broad shoulders, I can't realize that
ten years hare gone since we were ut Ex
eter together. We must talk over old
times and new. When did yon get back
and what are your plans ?
"Welk now, this is Saturday, and you
can do nothing after 3 o'clock. Conic
and upend Sun day with me in the coun
try. I want to show you my wife."
"Your wife! Are you married Tbm ?"
"Married nearly a year," said he, with
a smile.
"Iron don't look very soleAn over it."
"Solemn? It's the Colliest thing I
ever did in my life. Meet me in the
Eastern Depot at 4 o'clock, and 11l
tell you all about it on the way down."
We parted at the Winter street corner
—he to go to his store, and I to the Park
er llOuse.
"How handsome Boston has grown,"
said I, glancing at the fine buildings and
the Common beautitul as ever in the
September sun.
"We think it a nice town," he replied,
oticaking with the moderate words and
the pm - feet assurance of the Bostonian,
to whom hie city is the sum of all excel
lence and delight. "Remember-4 o'clock."
And he disappeared in the crowd.
"Tom married!" I said to myself, as
I walked along. "I dare Fay it's to his
father's pretty wrrd, Clara Maitland,
whom I saw when I spent the day there,
eleven years ago. I remember what long
curls she had and how fond she seemed
of Win. Yes, I dare say it's to Clara.. I
hope though, she hasn't grown up Into
one of those delicate young ladies, good
for nothing but to display the latest fash
ions, and waltz a little, and torture the
piano. Better some rosy, sturdy German
Gretchen than a poor doll like them.
It would be a shame for Tom, with his
splendid physique and vigorous brain, to
be tie for life to such a woman ?" And
then, turning down School street, my
thoughts wandered off ton blue-eyed,giri I
had loved for many a year—a girl who .
mitts not satisfied with the small triumphs
of the croquet•grounds, but who could
send an arrow right borne to the mark ;
and clitiab hills with me, bee step light
and free as the deer's in the glade below ;
and bold a steady oar in our boat on the
river; nod swim ashore if need should
be ; and then,. when walk or row was

cold meat and bread-and•butter 'with an
appetite keen us a young Indian's after a
day's hunt; yes. and who knew how to
be efficient in the kitchen and the ran
est ornament of the parlor. How im
patient I aas toffee her, the bewitching
maiden whom a prince might have been
proud to marry. And again I said to
mpelf, as I went up the Parker House
steps: "I do hope Tom hasn't made a
fool of himself!"
Four o'clock found me at the station ;
and a moment later in walked Tom car
rying a basket tilled with Jersey peaches.
"They don't grow in Greenland," said he,
tucking the paper down orer the trait.
- Come this way!" I followed him, and
we had just seated ourselves comforta
bly in the car when the tram moved
off.
"Now for the story, Tom," said 1, as we
crossed the bridge and caught the breeze
cool from the tirn. "But 1 can guess be
forehand the girl you married. It was
Clara Maitland."
A shadow pusse'd over Tom's face.—
"Clara has been di ad (our years," said he.
•"Shu inherited consumption frotu her
mother. We did trey % thing for her—
took her to bliones , ;ta and Florida;
but it wa.4 no use. She didn't live to see
her eighteenth birthday."
"Poor Cksra! She loved you dearly.—
Then I suppose you chose some Bo s ton
girl of your ucquaintenance
"Jack, you couldn't tell who Mrs. Toni .
Foster was if you should try from non
till morning. I shall have te' enlighten
you, - and moving the basket to tune sid e .;
rind settling himself in his seat, he went
on. “Von know I have the misfortune
to be an only child. After I was twenty

my marrying. I have plenty of cousins,'
you know, and we always had young la
dies going in and out of the house ; but
hile ('lam hind she was company for me
and after she died I aas full of business,
and didn't trouble myself about matri

fancy the gills. Perhaps I was unl'or-

seemed to me all culls cud flounces and

she looked op in her childish way and
said "No Mr, Foster, Newspapers are so
tiresome." Bless me, what should I have

".1 year a ago this summer I was very
much confined at the store ; and, is hen
August came, instead of 6p-fiding the
whole month at horn?, f thought I would
have a little change, and so I went for a
f'ortnight to the Cliff Honda on--
Beach. It's a quiet, pliasatit resort, and
you'll always find fifty to one hundred
people there durini , ' the season. The
landlord is a vod•fellew; and a distant
relative of mite. I thought he looked
flurried when I went in,und after a few
minutes he took me one side and said:
`•Tom, yon have come at an unlucky
time. I had a very , good cook. that I gut
from Boston, at twenty dollars a w-ek ;
hut she's a high tempered woman. Last
evening she quarreled with her assistants,
this morning the breakfast was all in con
fusion, and now she's packing her trunk
to lave by the nest triin. In two or
three days I can probablsget another ene
down in her place ; hut what we're to do
muanwhite I don't know."
"BLit, Norton," said I,"lsn't there Some
one pear by or in the house who can take
it ?"
"I don ht it," he 7eidieil. "I've half a
dozen girls from the vicinity doing up
stairs woi k—one of them from your town
the best waiter in the dinning room.—
But I suppose all of them would either
be afraid of the responsibility or think it
beneath them to turn cook, though they
would have plenty of help, nod earn
twenty dollars where they now get three."
"Who's here from Greenland r I ask
ed, for I knew something of almost every
h:Sue in the place.
"Mary Lyford."
"Mary Lyford ? A black-eyed, light
footed girl, about twenty years old, with
two brothers in Colorado. and her father
a farmer over toward t.it ratham ?"
"Yes, the very same."
"Why, she's the prettiest girl in Green
land—at least I thought so two years ago
when 1 danced with her at the Thanks
giving party in the village; and I heard
last fall that she took the prize at the
11auchester Fair for the best loaf of
bread. But why is she here?"
"Oh, you know farmers haven't mneli
ready money ; and I suppose she wanted
to earn something fur herself, and
to come to the Beach. like the rest
of us. You say she took the premium
for her bread. - I belieVe I'll go into the
dining-room and propose to give the
cook's place to any one of the girls who
would like it, and feels competent, to
take it. I must do something," und, look
ing at his watch, he went out.
Ten minutes later he came back, clap
ping his hands, and exclaimed:
"Mary Lylord says she'll try it."
fur Greenland," cried I. "Isn't
that plucky? By Jove I hope she'll suc
ceed, and I believe she will."
"You nmsn't expect mach to-day," said
Norton. , •Thiegs are topsy-turvey in the
kitchen, and it'll take some time to get
them stritight4med out"
Just then a new arrival claimed his at
tention, and with a serener face he turned
away.
Dinner was poor that day ; supper was
a little better. And iu spite of Norton's
caution, I began to be afraid that Green
land was going down. But the next morn
ing,what abreakfast we had—juicy steaks,
hot potatoes, delicious rolls, and corn
bread, griddle-cakes, that melted in your
mouth, and coffee that had lost none of
its aroma in the making. Thenceforth
every meal was a triumph. The guests
praised the table, and hastened to their
seats at the first sound of the bell. Nor.
ton was rudient with satisfaction, and I
was as pleased as if I had been landlord
or cook myself. Several times I sent my
compliments to Mary ; but she was su
constantly occupied that I never had a
glimpse of her till the night before
I was dancing in the parlor, and had lust
led a young lady of the Matilda Line
stamp to her tn mum.. when I saw Man
standing with the dining-room girls on
the iiiaza. I went out, and shaking her
cordially by the hand, told her how inter
ested I had been in her success. and how
proud I was to lied a Greenland girl so
accomplished. She blushed and thanked
me, and said. in a modest way, that site
was very glad if we were all suited, and
then Norton came up and expressed his
entire satisfietion with what she had
dune. As she stood there in a white
Intiue dress, with a scarlet how at her
throat. and her dark hair neatly arranged,
he looked every inch a lady.
"Du nie the hi‘or, Miss Lyford," said I
"to dance the next cotillion with mc."
"Alt! Foster," she replied, looking
areldv at Norton, "that isn't expec:tl of
the help."
"The help'." I said indignantly. "You
are the queen 01 the establishment, and 1
incite you to dance, and so dues Mr. Nor
ton."
"Certainly I do," he answered. "Go
and show the company that you are at
panic in the parlor as well as the kitchen."
S o smiling and blrqhing, she took my
arm.
Didn't we make a sensation when we
went in. Perhaps there nos no fellow
there with a better "social positron" (you
know the phrase) than I ; and I had been
( i rat e a tat °rite with the ladies. You
should have seea them when we took our
place on the thaw Sine laughed, some
frowned, some whispered to their neigh
hart; but I paid mot the slightest attem
tine to It all, and Mary looked so protty,
and wont thron2h the dance pith such
geace and d•gmty, that before it was our
all reizarited . her n ith admiration. I didn't
wait for comments, but emorted her out
as if she Itad been the belle of Boston.
"G.hl night. Hiss Lvford," I said when
we remmed the hall. -I am ,g..ing in the
morning. but I shall see ,yoti again when
you get lock to Green
"Good night, Mr. Foster," she replied,
thank you for your kiudnem." Then
'he langbiog: "lima you any or
.I.•1 s fat lireak fas•
s. I should like to remember
' you by . a
plate of such imialas as we had
yesterday."
-You ishall have them, sir," she said, as
she disappeared to the doorway. And
•
hate them I did.
Three weeks later M.try came home to
Greenland, with more than a hundred
dollars in her parse, and u tunic that was
worth thou:ands. I went to see her at
her father's house. I round her in every
way excellent tad lovely ; and the end
was that at christtnas we were married.'
-1.1oriousl" I exclaimed, Giye me your
hand, Tom! I was afraid you had been
taken in by some Matilda Lane."
' ••Go von think I'm a fool?" said he.
Then . I told him my choice, and I was
still talking when the train stopped at
Ureenland station.
We soon arrived at his hospitable home.
Ills wife was all he had pictured her; a
refinee, intelligent and handsome woman
who would develop and grow in attrac
tiveness every year of her life. After it
! merry evening in their pleasant parlor, I
went to bed and dreamed the millenium
had come, and that all women were like
my blue-eyed girl and Mrs. Torn Foster.
How Much the Hog Weighed.
A bin IT looking man, in a farmer's work
ay costume entered a railway car at a
way station. The car was well filled,and
all the seats being occupied but one which
was half tilled by a finely dressed exquisite.
'fl'e farmer seeing his only chance fur a
seat, asked the exquisite if (other half of
that seat was "took." Receiving a neg
atire answer, he responded :
"Waal, then I reckon I'll squat."
Like most of our hardy yeomanry, he
was inclined to he sociable.
"Sung winter rnornlng," eaid he
No rreponee.
"Shouldn't w mdcr if we had some more
snow afore night."
Still no, response from exquisite, who
looked out of the car window, evidently
much annoyed. -
After several futile attempts to elicit
some reply the farmer gave a yawn, and
quietly remarked, "killed a hog yesterday,
but you can't guess how much he weigh
ed."
Driven almost to desperation, the poor
fellow said.smartly.
"Four hundred pounds."
Yawning again.
'•i'o. didn't weigh that."
"Well, three hundred and fifty then."
Another yawn—"No, didn't weigh three
and a hall:"
. -
Very impatiently—"three bu nd red."
Yawning,still—"no, not that much."
Almost ready to explode—" How much
did Your old hog iFeigh Anyhew ?"
"Waall, he want much of a hog, and
didn't weigh him."
A report was circulated in Chicago that
a lady was running a sewing, machene by
mule power. On investigation a local re
porter ascertained that the power wus that
of a person who bad been married to the
lady.
A Kentucky pater, in reporting a
wedding, says that the bride was not
particularly bandsonie, but her father
throw in seven mules, and th 4 husband
was satisfied.
A Story of Real Life
--o
To Lonisana, in the beginning of the
last century, came an old German emi
grant, with his only daughter, and set
tled there. She was young and very
beautiful, and attracted much attention
especially that of one Dauband, an offi
cer iii the colony. Phis officer had been
in Russia; and what struck htm, upon
seeing the young lady, was the very re
markable resemblance which she bore
to the late wife of Czarowitz Alexis, sol
of Peter the Great. 'The history of this
princess had been a very sad one. Though
sister-in-law to Charles VI., she had been
treated by her husband 'as though she
bad been his slave. He had attempted
to make away with her by poison, and
at last he struck her with such violence,
when fur gone with child, that he caused
the death both of herself and her infant.
After a great lapse of time, the Czarowitz
himself died, and to Dauband's watchful
eyes it seemed that the intelligence of
Prince's decease was received by his fair
lodger riith suspicious interest and ex
citement, that took her with being
in truth the unhappy lady whom
the world thought to be dead and
buried. If such was the case, lie declar
ed himself devoted to her service and
prepared to sacrifice his prospeets in the
colony, in order to escort her to Russia.
Theo tieharlott Cushman Sophia do
Woolfenbuttel (for such had been her
maiden name) personage she had imag•
iced, and had made use of a fraud to es
cape from the cruelties of her late hus
band. The blow that had been given her
had almost caused her death, but she had
recuNered. By the help of Conn , ess
Kloigsmark, mother of Marshall Saxe,
she gained over the woman of her bed
chamber, so that it was given out that she
was no more, midi' inneral was arranged
accordingly. Then being conveyed to a
secret place, she was carefully attended,
and when strong enough removed, in the
guise of a peasant girl, to Paris, under
the guardianship of a trusty German,
who was passed as her father, and finally
from France to Louisiana. •
Having hard her story, Dauband re
newed his offer to furnish the means of
her return to that sphere from which she
had fled under such pitiable circumstan
ces ; but the young widow thanked him,
and said the only service she required was
that he should maintain an absolute se
crecy regarding her. He endeavored to
ob. y her, but his affection for her was nt,'
stronger than his loyalty ; he was young
and handsome, as well as impressionable,
and perhaps the ex-princers was nut sor
ry when her pretended father dying, Dan
bard offered himself to her as her hus
band. If sho really had renounced all
thoughts of resuming her rank, he ar
gued, why not wed an honest man who
loved her:' Though not a Queen, m
him she should ever have a devoted sub
ject. She consented, and, in so doing,
afforded one of the strangest vicissitudes
of fortune that history has -recorded—
the marriage with an humble officer of
infantry of one who had been destined
for the throne of ThisSia, and whose sister
was actually occupying that of Asutria.
Tile marriage was a happy one, and bore
fruit of an Qui, daughter.
Alter ten years, Dauband being troubl
ed with sonic disorders which the prac
titioners in LouisarAitould not cure, re
moved with his wife and child to Paris to
get medical advice, and on his recov
ery obtained from the Government an
appointment in the Isle of Bourbon—
While in Paris the wife and daughter
went to walk in the Tuileries, and con
versing in German, were overheard by
Marshal Saxe, who stopped to consider
them. Mme. Dauband s embarrassment
confirmed his suspicions, and his reco,g
-n t ion of her was complete. She persuad
ed him to promise secrecy. He culled on
her, however, the next day, and often
afterward; and when she had departed
fur Bourbon, informed the King of what
lie had discovered. Orders were sent to
the Island that the King of Hungary
was also Made acquainted with the posi
tion of his aunt. He sent her a letter
invitiug, her to his court, hut on condi
tion that she should quit her husband,
Mihail she refused to do. In 1747 Dan
band died, having been preceded to the
grave by his daughter, and the widow
came to France with the intention of
taking up her residence in a convent.—
In place of doing so, however, she lived
in great retirement at Vitri, about a
league from Paris,where she died in 1772.

A German paper contains a reply from
a clergyman who was traveling, and who
stopped at a hotel much !requented by
what are called "drummers." The host,
not being used to have clergymen at his
table, looked at him with surprise ; the
clerks used all their artillery of wit upon
him, wltliont eliciting a remark in self
defense. The worthy clergyman ate hie
dinner quietly, apparently without -ob
serving the gib e s and sneer of his neigh
bors. One of them, atlast, in despair at
his forbearance, said to him .
"Well, I wonder at your patienes !
Have you not heard all that has been said
against you.
-Oh, yes, but lam used to it. Do you
know who I am ?"

A LADY who was urging some friends
to stay to dinner felt disgusted when her
8-year old boy came in and said: "Mrs.

Mrs. Fos ain't at home, so I didn't get
any butter," The friends thought they
had better dine elsewhere, and the lady
thought so, too, but she taught that boy
that the way of the transgressor was hard
before evening.

What Shall We do With our Sons
and Daughter%
It must be evident to any observer that
the difficulty for middle-class families to
provide their children with the means of
earning a livelihood is increasing. In a
country like this, provided with such
boundless resources, this might at first
seem incredible, and in fact, there is no
necessity that it should be so. The fault
Fes not with the country, but with the
peiple. All the young men want to be
capitalists, speculators, merchants, law
yers,or to follow some other genteel occu
pation requiring little manual labor. The
&earn of our young girls is to be simply
ladies, contract rich marriages, and have
foreign servants to wait on them. The
inevitable result is approaching. Genteel
occupations have become an American
speciality, they are the worst paid and
most uncertain of .all kinds of tabor ' be
cause the market is overstocked. One
bookkeeper has a salary of five thousand
dollars a year, straightway a hundred in
cipient does delude themselves with the
idea they can reach such a position. Ev
en in Europe there is too much of this
gentility, but it is in a great measure coun
teracted by millions of workingmen.—
There, a collier makes more than a bank
er's clerk, just as a common laboring man
will make as much as au ordinary clerk
in this city; more, iu fact, if we take the
difference of stations and exigencies of
dress into consideration. To look for an
ordinary clerk's place is really a desper
ate undertaking, and the young stranger
who comes to this city will find it a north
pole expedition in search of an uncer
tainty. Parents too often delude them
selves with the belief that their children
have extraordinary capacitiei, and are
bound to succeel in life "anyhow." A
great deal of stuff has been written on
the advantages of education, energy, etc.,
as if the education which is not practical,
and the energy which is not well directed,
ever achieved anything.' Every day we
see foreigners, ignorant even of our lan
guage, commence at the bottom of the
scale and work upwards, while genteel
men nre fast where they were years ago.
If young men would do as many Ger
mans do, devote their time to some. man
ufacturing speciality, and obtain a prac
tical and scientific knowledge of it, they
would find a large field before them in a
country like this, where special talents in
so many branches are panting. Parents
may find it difficult to provide their sons
with even an ordinary education, but
making "book-keepers," or shopmen, or
salesmen of them is abnnt the worst thing
they can do. The market is full, and
will be "fuller"---ungmmmatical though
the phrase may be. Too many try to
cling to metropolitan life, and thns they
waste away their talents in the over
crowded hive.
There is a crying need for reform in ed
ucation of youth. We see evidences of
this in the army of place-seckers,who be
come politicians at first, and often settle
down into gainblers and rowdies - after
wards. We tee in the' hundreds of brief
less lawyers, and the "patient-less" if not
impatient physicians, i.e the vast multi
tude of gentlemen who live by their wits,
and who so often complain that they
know nothing practical. Men of brains
may always get along, though often with
difficulty, but the mediocre ones will go
to the wall—unless they turn to some
thing practical.
The future of girls is still more uncer
tain and • dangerous. . Without natural
supporters in a city like this it is beset
with difficulties, the more so that they
seldom know anything practical-. The
extravag,anea of the average young lady
and her false ideas as to respectability,
etc..kcep many a young man from marry
ing; and as housekeeping is onerous
enough under the most favorable circum
stances, it becomes almost impossible un
der such conditions. , , .
The movement startedby certain ladies
would be productive of great benefit if
properly directed, but certainly it is not
in competing with men in . the fields
which require muscular strength and en
ergy that women can hope to succeed.
There are several branches monopolized
by men which could•be as well filled by
