ASPIRATIONS.
Our aims are all ton high; we try
To gain the mimmit at a bound,
When wo sboulJ rrach It top by stop,
And climb the ladder round by round.
Be who would climb the bright sublime,
Or breathe the pure air of lifb(
Must not expect to raise In ease,
But bracti himself for toil or strife.
We should not in onr bllmlno'ps eeck
To grasp alone for grand and great,
Disdaining every tmaller good,
For (rifle makes tho aggiegnto.
And if a cloud should hover o'er
Our weary pathtwny like a pall,
Rememlwr God permits it thcro,
And lljs good purposo reigns o'er all.
Life should be full of earnest work,
Our hearts undashvd by fortune's frown;
Let eneverence conquer fate,
And merit seize the victor's crown.
Tho battle is not to tho strong,
Tho race not nlways to the fleet;
And lie who socks to pluck tho stars,
Will lofe the jewels at his feet. .
A MOUSING GLOItV.
BY MART L. BOI.LES.
I tliiiik I was never more surprised in my
1 i ft- t li mi when, about a month upo; Frititk
Ksteilinzy ciune rushing into mv otlico in his
old, joyo'up, olTliuml way. uud nfter a erush-iti-r
hard Bhnkp, bi?un to tumblo my papers
nliout, and piny with my kees just im natur
a.ly as if he li'udn't bem in Bouth America
for thy lust three years, out of every body's
reach, and utmost out of everybody 'a mind.
It fairly made me feel like a hoy ngiiin to
see Frank sitting there telling his adventures.
He hod led a roving life buck and forth be
tween Chili niid rem, it seemed, seizing
every opportunity for trade; now with
United States goods, und now with native
dimonds; nud lie ha'' something to do with
that great railroud that leaped a mountain
goipe, planned by one uf his own country's
engineer.'). Frnrk li'id made a fair fortune
liv it all. in hmota and ducats, ut.d all man
ner of foreign leckouing. and here he was. a
fine bronzed fellow of twenty-nine, in the
very glory of life, idl the drudgery done,
with tho "world before him where to choose.
Meanwhile I hud my own little history,
and Frank wanted to hear all that tho ill
paid clerkship, the love in a cottage, the
starting out at lust in n small, cautious,
tiusini'ss of my owu the hopes, th fears,
mid the dear home reigned over by my own
Jertio, and Tiny Tot, cur precious youngster.
I iiiviti d Frank" to stay und go up to dinner
with me, to sea my houshold goods for him
self F.ut, no! he was iu a great' hurry to leave
tho city meant to go off by the next train,
up to a little village two hundred miles dis
(ant, where come of his Iclk used to live.
That as much iiko home as any place, he
said, and he was restless must go at once,
lie was i:i glorious spirits, took the most
cheerful view ot life, told me not to b dis
couraged, there was a good time coming yet;
and so, in all the bravery of good fortune,
off he went, und I heard uo more of him till
last Thursday.
On Thursday, ho eame into my office again,
and all his good spirits seemed to be dashed
out of him. lie sat down in a languid way,
kept staring out of tho window as if ho
wasn't interested in anything said he found
his aunts Btill living lip in tho village, but
it was a confounded dull little place; in fact,
everything seemed lonesome und strange to
him," und lie meant to go back to Chili, firht
chance, or to l'ei tt.
"A man has something to make him for
get himself there!" ho said. "There's al
ways a revolution going on, or an earth
quake!" I suggested to him' not to bo discouraged;
theio was a good time coming yet. But he
deigi ed no nuswer, uud sat. there smoking
one segar ufter anoth"r, looking as aimless
and gloomy as a perfectly well man can ever
possibly look. I went on posting my books,
und wo'udrrod what could huvn happened to
eut the poor fellow np so. When business
was over, I urged him o go home to dinner
with me, for I thought maybe a Bight of
tiertie and Tot would cheer him up a little.
He held buck some, but I took him ulong
with me, liuully.
If Uertio und I have a bobby, it is our
home. Every nook uud corner in it is oear
to us; and it has been such a pleasure to fur
nish it all, and to get one little comfort tm
luxury after another, as our means allowed;
And Uertio is a prime little manager; I feel
proud of her whenever any of my friends
drop in to see how we get ulong.
Gertie was at the window watching, with
her boy iu her ams, nnd came to meet us,
welcoming Ksterhazy as charmingly as pos
sible. Frank is too gentlemanly a fellow to
bo morose before ladies, so he made hiin
self ugreeuble, and really got into quite a
frolic with Tot after dinner. . But when the
chi'd was sent offto bed, then the melancholy
look deepened down in his eyes again, ocd
that, combined with his winning defereuce
nud ready kindness, completely won Gertie's
sympathy; and sho exerted herself to make
the evening pass plensoutly to him.
Frank looked around at some of our little
knick knocks in the parlor a tiny Swiss
carving or two, a green bronze of an imp,
and a pair of Italian statuettes.
"I have some trifles in my trunk, ho said
to us, "that will just suit your fancy. 1 II
. . i . . - .i t:..l. ......
mtiKO you u present oi mem,
queer Indian puzzles, and a set of chepeinen
cut in ivory, reul little miracles in their
way."
Gertie's eves shone, for she loved dainty
oddities, and is a real virtuoso iu ber limited
way.
Frauk crossed the room to look"nt a little
picture hanging bi tween the windows. It
WHS U Very I'lHII1 Vinumu wi vi in; if , , u l IU- l s
paiutings, and I got up to explain its beau
ties. I was oo ardent Ruskinito when I
bought it.
"Notice the spray," I said, "and the shat
tered suusbine, and seo now tne mien goiu
on leaves hanir trembling over the water.
There's a flash of the true artist fire in that
eh, Frank!'
lie seemed to feel do interest in if at alL
'I bee vour nardou .' be saidejwearily; 1
believe 017 tboogbta were wandering beo
you spoke. That's pretty wall-paper you
have a morning-glory vine, isn't it?'
'Yes,' answered Gertie; 'und dont you
think it's very graceful? I was struck with
the pattern in the store, nnd chose it out of
nil the rest. 1 always did like morning-glories.'
'But they fade quick,' said Frank, taking
two or three rcstlesB turns, and then coming
back to the fireside.
'Oh, Dick!' exclaimed Gertie, with one of
her coaxing smiles. 'Speaking of pictures
just reminds me of something. Yon haven't
much to do to-morrow you know you hnve
not, und why won't yon take nio around to
the different picture galleries? You promis
ed me the first leisure day, and I haven't seen
liierstadt's new painting yet, nor the other
one that everybody is talking about.'-
I demurred a little, thinkiug of some pos
sible business emergencies.
'I ntn suro a day out will do you good,'
said Gertie, getting in earnest. 'Seeing
beautiful things improves people, nnd I am
sure we ought to want to be improved.'
She said this with a philosophic air that
overcame me, nnd I consented, in my heart
williugly enough, to go art-huntiug tho next
day, always providing that the sun shone. I
asked Frauk Ksterhazy if he wouldn't join us
ami Gertie seconded the invitation warmly.
'I don't kuov, much about pictures,' he s'uid
smiling at her, 'but a day with such friends
will be pleasure in itself. I have business
tr'ps to make iu two or tliree directions, to
prosecute some inquiries, but Friday is an
unlucky day to start on a journey, they say;
so 1 believe I will stop over twenty-four hours
und go sight-seeing with you. 1 don't know
but lam beginniujHo be superstitious.'
'I don't see why Friday should be unlucky, '
8'iid Gertie lightly, 'it is really Venus-Dny,
you know tho day of Love.'
So the next morning at ten o'clock, Ester
hazy dropped iuto my office, and a few mo
ments nlier, Gerlio put in uu appearance,
looking like usweet littlo daisy. 1 took my
daisy ou my arm and away we went, the three
of us. A few blocks off lay the building oc
cupied by tho School of Design, ami I remem
bered that visitors were free 10 enter in ut
this hour. 1 mentioned it 10 Gertie.
'Then let's go in there fitut" she exclaimed
enthusiastically, 'and we shall see all their
original drawings. They make some of the
most e.squisite designs you ever saw, people
tell me, nud there are some -young women
there who have a wonderful talent.' . .
'Anytliigto kill time,' said Kbterhazy; so
in we went.
There were not many of the ni t students
present that day, und of those who were,
very few seemed to uotico ns. Wo walked
quietly behind eonie of tho desks, glancing
over shoulders at the e::qnisito creations
growing benetiih busy fingers. Then one
of the teachers gave us the privilege of look
ing at the portlolios of finished designed
That was reully a treat. There were stately
Corinthian capitals, with the noblo acanthus,
friezes, and dutiigns for church windows;
there were copies of antiques, studies of still
life, lovely faucies for vases and for silver;
and fiu'illy wo came to what was really the
most practical folio, contuiuing an immense
number of designs for carpets aud for wall
paper. 'These,' explained tho teacher, 'ate done
by such young ladies us wish to carnv money
at once for their work. Copies of tho best
are frequently taken by uiuuui'netuiers, who
pay liberally.'
We turned them over with somo interest
for here, as Gertie, who had been reading
a speech ou political economy, remarked,
woui'in took the rank of producers, instead of
mere consumers. Ksterltazy politely exam
ined them with us.
'Why Dick!' suddenly exclaimed Gertie,
arresting the turning leaf, 'just look! Here
is the very origiuul of our morning-glory
wall-paper! Ami see how beautifully it is
doue; every touch of tho crayon was inspira
tion!' 'Yes,' remarked the teacher; 'thut is quite
a favorite pattern, the manufacturer tells me.
It was done two years ago by a poor young
girl who hud but recently entered the school.
Sho has executed some very lino things siuce
then.'
'Where is she?' asked Esterhuzy, in an un
steady voice, uutl as I glanced at him in sur
pnsc, I saw thut his eyes were luminous with
feeling.
'The girl , Eleonor Holt? It is not her
hour yet; she comes nt eleven,' replied the
teacher, simply.
I knew her once; 1 should like to seo her,'
said Frauk, whoso bronzed face wa3 fairly
growing pule with excitement.
'Certiiiuly, sir,' said tho obliging teacher;
'youder is our reception room. If you will
take seats there, I will speak to Miss Holt
when sho comes.'
Gertie and I followed Frank to tho reception-room
in mute amazement, but Gertie s
womaUy iustiuces wero on the ulert, and she
gave ine a meaning, triumphant glance ns we
took our seats. Frank, evideutly in the ut
most suspense, took out his watch; the band
pointed to eleven.
1 am afraid we are in the way,' whispered
Gertio in my ear.
A momeut more, and there entered a young
lady a young lady with sweet, shy tuco anil
. L L'1. .K.l l...n...
Oroouicg orowu eyes, ouu uni uui nnon
who wished to sea her, and glanced inquiring
ly at Gertie und me, and then ut Esterhusy.
He looked like a man iu a trance.
'Nell 10, he cried, reaching out bis arms.
'Oh. Frank!'
Gertie uud I turned short about, and went
back into the drawing hall, where we turned
over poitfolios for a full half hour, and did
not grudge it. At the enu ot mat tune
Frank Reckoned to us from the reception
room, aud wejoiued him there, to bo intro
duced to the -dearest girl in tne worm."
'Id lost her, you see, said trunk rtidiant
lv. 'but she shan't escape me agaiu.'
I ouestioued whether she would ever try to,
she looked so very blushing und happy.
Gertie was iu a rapture, and kissed Miss Holt
on tho instant.
Tne morning-glories did it,' Frank went
on to explain. '1 uever know much about
nictures anvwuv, but Nellie ulways used to
be drawing, and tho very lust time I saw her
she was sketching morning-glories.
So much for the luck ot a Venus Day!
never saw a more cheerful follow than Frank
Esterhiizv is now. He say life is a wonder
ful blessiuu. and that people uever ought to
complain. And he bus given up the idea of
going back to rem, among the revolutions
and eurtbquukes. He is to be mairied, you
will understand, and Gertie is iu a perfect
flutter over Eleanor, for six, weeks ia such a
little line to get read ia, the says.
DOMESTIC RECIFE..
Aont Betsey come in yesterday as I was
making paste to paper my bedroom.
'i'nta little pulverized nlnm in it, hate,
said nhe; "u half tcaspoonfttl to the pint of
flour, then you will not tiped to wash the
wall with vinegar, and it will make the popcr
stick, too."
While she was in, old Mr. Mix drove op
with eggs nnd meat to sell. He nnd aunt
Betsey used to go to school together when
they wero children.
"What sort 0 meat you got,; said she,
tender or tough?"
"Some of it's tender; lino-stenk is allers
tender, you know. My old woman says she
can make any steak tender by rubbing this
ere carbonate of soda on it over-night, and
then washing it off just afore you cook it in
the moruin'."
"Stop at my house,'' said Aunt Betsey,
and leave five or six pounds of round steak.
If sody'll make it tender, I can keep it with
black pepper till I eat it up."
'How did you sav, Betsey? inquired Mr.
Mix.
'Why, jest rub common black pepper oil
over it, and it'll keep in tho warmest weather.
Some folks suit their steaks to make 'em
keep, but salt draws all the juice out of
the meat, and makes it tough and tasteless.
When you wont to cook it, wash off the
pepper, and it'll be just as tender and savory
like as one would wish. Salt onshn't to be
put on steak till it is all done, and Inid on n
hot plotter. I allers. salt my steak just
afore I put it on the table."
After Mr. Mix left: "Do tell mo, Kate,
how you mado that sponge-cako you had at
tho Sewing S'iety the other day; 'twas real
nice, and so light; just whut sponge-cake
oughter be."
sroyciK-CAKE.
Two cups of flour, two cups of sugar, six
eggs, one tenspoontul esseuco 01 lemon, oue
tablespoonlul of water.
J hauk you, Kate; and would yon mind
writing down on tho other side of that sheet
how to make that, fruit puddin' you had the
last time 1 dined here? 1 cnu t generally
eut plum-puddiu', but that didn't hurt me a
.it."
So I wrote ns follows, baby all the while
iu my arms, and pulling ut my nose and huin
FKi'iT-runnixo.
One enp of molasses, half a cup of brown
-sugar, null a cup ot milter, oue cup 01 milk,

Terpihi.e Firb in Socth Africa. The
news from the Cape of Good Hope is almost
confined to accounts of a terrible lire, caused
by the long; continued heat and drought,
which is said to have devastated a track of
country (onr hundred miles long, nnd vary
ing in breadth Irom fifteen to one hundred
ami fifty miles. 1 h9 fire bioke ont on the
9th of February, when the heat throughout
the colony was moro intense than ever pre
viously known. In a few hours hundreds of
dollars worth of property was destroyed, the,
r.nropenn colonists and natives nnke sutler-

sufferers loosing all they possessed. Several
persons wero also burned to death, tho casu-

natives and to the wives and children of the
colonists. Those saved bad to take shelter

I love to wonder in my musings fur beyond
the journey to the laud whither the journey
is tending, lieyond this slate ot probatiou
to that of friition; beyond striving to attain
ment; beyond decipliu to perfection; beyond
labor to rest ; beyond constant slips and short
comings, nnd ball-hartedness at best, to
steadfast holiness; beyond the cross to the
crown. .We arc yet within doors; oh, what
will open before us on the threshold of that
next year! when tho first wonder of its Janu
ary lias passed, and the amazed and almost
dizzied soul has straightened and uncrninpled
its wings, and collected its powers, and can
calmly begin to understand its change, nnd
lo muse on its liiture. and to grasp the idea
of the possession upon which it has come; to
anticipate the endless succession ot amaranth

that shall throng more abundant and ecstatic
and never migrute nor pass away.
Uoon Natuhk at Home. No trait of char
acter is mora valuable iu a wifo than the pos
session of a sweet temper. Homo can never
be made happy without it. It is like the flow

and cheering us. Let ajnan go home at
night, weary and worn out by the toils of the
day, aud bow soothing is a word dictated by a
sweet disposition? It is sunshine fulling on
his heurt. lie is happy, and the cures ol lilo
are forgotten. A sweet temper has a sooth
ing influence over the mind of the whole fam
ily. When it is found in the wifo anil moth
er, vou otiserve Kinnness aud love predomina
ting over the natural feeling of 11 bad heart.
iSniiles kind words and looks characterize
the children, and peace and love have their
dwelling there. Study, then, to acquire and
retain a sweet temper. It is more valuable
than gold! it captivates more than beauty,
and to the close of life rctuius all its freshness,
nnd power. . ,

to a neighbor's home, where several articles
of fashionnhlo contrivance had arrived from

first object that presented itself to view wai'
a dirty looking phiz, surrounded by long,
shuggy, yellow hair. &c. , he was so affrighted
that without further ceremony, he ran home
as fast ns his legs could carry him, exclaim

Singular Incident of theWnr.
In ono of Stonewnll Jncknon's peri
odical attacks upon WintlicHer, on
his way down tho glorious old valley
of Virginia, Captain Dnve Workman,
a brave and gallant officer of the
Ninth LouiniHtiu. regiment, who con
sequently lost his ti to in tho shadow
ot Blue 'ftidge, was wounded in tho
body painfully but not dangerously.
On tho capture of the town bo was re
moved from the field to a largo hospi
tal established by the enemy, and in
company with many Federal Hnldicr,
wounded in the attack, wuited with
ptttience as ho could muster lii turn
for attendance from the overworked
curgeons. The groans of the wrjiinded
and dying, and tho misery of uliffonded
and und reused wound, lengthened tho
tedious night J but amid all, Captain
Workman wan struck with tho stoicism
of 11 stalwart Yankee, occupying an
ndj'oining cot, who was evidently mor
tally wounded, but whofo fortune failed
lo wring a murmur from his lips.
Day broke at lant, and with it camo
ono of tho captain's ccinpnnj to in
quire after his welfare. Approaching
his cot ho addressed him by name, but
was interrupted by tho Yankee next
to Workman, over whose eyo the glnzo
of death seemed settling. .Rousing
himself, and with great effort raised im
his bed, ho said :
" Aro you Captain Workman ? '
" Yes."
"Captain Dave Workman, of the
Ninth Louisiana regiment?"
" Yes."
" Then, sir, I have something for
you. Two weeks ago my Captain 'was
mortally wounded. Calling mo to his
side in the midst of tho fight, ho gave
me this package,' with instructions to
send it across the lines the first c banco.
I didn't think then," continued he,
with a smile, "I would bo ablo to do
liver it so soon in person; here it is.''
"And your Captain was who? "
" Your brother, Captain James
Workman, of tho Ninth New York
Calvary ," and with a grasp the faithful"
fellow, as if ho had only lived to fulfil
his promise, full back on his pallet dead.
