THK CHILDREN WE KhiEI.
The children kept coming, one by one,
Till the boys were five and the girU were
three,
And the big brown house was live with fun
From the basement floor to the old roof-tree;
Like garden flowers the little ones grew,
Nurtured and trained with the tendered care
Warmed by love's sunshine bathed in its dew
They blossomed into beauty, like rates fair.
15ut one of the boys grew weary one day,
And leaning his head on his mother's breast
lie said, "I'm tired and cannot play ;
Let me sit awhile on you knee and rest."
She cradled him close to her fond embrace.
She husheed him to sleep with her sweetest
And rapturous love stiii lighted his face
When his spirit had joined the heavenly
throng.
Then the eldest girl, with her thoughtful
eyes,
Who stood where "the brook and the river
meet,
Stole softly away into paradise
Ere "the river" had reached her feet.
While the father's eyes on the grave are bent
The mother looked upward beyond the
skies,
Ourdarlings were angels in earth's disguise."
The years Hew by and the children began
With longings to think of the world outside.
And as each, in his turn, became a man,
The boys proudly went from the father's
The girl's were women, so gentle and fair
That lovers were speedy to woo and win ;
And with orange blossoms in braided hair.
The old home was left, new home to begin.
So, one by one, the children have gone
The boys were five and the girls were three ;
And the big brown house is gloomy aud lone
With but two old folks for its company.
They talk to each other about the past,
As they sit together in eventide.
And say, 'AH the children we keep at last
Are the boy and girl who in childhood died.'
JOUS riUNGLE S AV1FE.
Miss Maria Jane Brew9ter came
into the sewing society with a set
expression on her face, which plain
ly told to those who observed it that
something of more than usual weight
was on her mind. A few, however.
hail not observed it, in consequence
of which the minute u. cripti-jn ci
the trimm'ngs on Mrs. Squire
Wright's ne v Boston made dress
was rinished, when Miss Maria Jane
availed herself of the first opening.
'I was in to John Pringle's as 1
came along.'
'Ah?'
The pause had to be filled, as if
every listener had not felt sure some
choice bit ol criticism or gossip were
to follow. One even went so far as
to ak :
'Found them all well. I hope?'
'Oh, yes !' an upward of the yes.
'Found things about as usual. It is
amazin', though, the peculiarities of.
some folks. It beats me to see how
John Pringle's a comin' out.'
'I5aby well? was ottered to till up
the next pause, rather than witli
an' solicitude for the health of that
young person.
Oh, yee, tound trie little nur?e gal
a Cxin' things up to take it out
doors, and she agoin', too, with that
everlastin' porty folip of hers right
after dinner, when most larmers
wives have something else to do.'
'M, bi, m !' heads were shaken
emphatically.
And what do you suppose she
did afore she went out?' hands hold
ing needles were suspended in mid
air.
'Well, M'lindy Jones is there;
she's always there a sew-in' or a fuss-
in over things that most farmers
wives have to fuss over for them
selves. Well, John Pringle's wife,
she brought out a whole bundle of
flannels, and nice flannels they be,
too better'n John's mother had ev
er laid out the money for reg'lar
made, and solid, and all wool,
though 1 think a little mixtur' of
cotton stops 'em shrinkin'. Well,
she just gives them to M'lindy to
mend up and put away in tobaccer
and camphir, her husband's flan
nels!' The exclanaation which went
around the circle was quite satisfac
tory to Miss Maria Jane, so she re
sumed: 'Soon they were ready to start, so
we come out together, and I couldn't
help a sayin' to her: 'Most of folks
1 know, 5liss Pringel, has to do that
for themselves."
'What did she say to that?'
'Oh, she only laughed, and said
she hadn't time for it, time, indeed !
and M'lindy seemed glad to do it.
So she come along till she got to the
grove, and then she turns in andsets
herself down on a stool she took out
of the baby's carriage, and begins to
draw. I must say she looked as
pretty as a picture, while the little
gal went 'round with the baby and
kep' a runnin' to her with bits of
wild Mowers and such trash.'
'John Pringle's mother'd a'
set
down to her mendin after tbe
ner dishes was washed, and
din-
took
care of a baby, too.'
'Yes. I thought so myself, how
she'd a felt to see the new fangled
bay window goin' up outside her
lest parlor, the kitchen was good
enough for her to set in and have it
used for every day, with a carpet
looking like a posy bed, and an en
try fire.'
'It seems to suit John well !
enough.'
0h, yes, she wind's him right
'round her finger, you see. He
takas care of her just like a piece of
Chiny.'
'I don't see that Mrs. Pringle's to
blame for wanting to have things
nice about her,' said one of the
younger ladies, if her husband can
afford' it'
'Thats just it, he can't. That farm
of his aint going to stand many
Brussels carpets, nor servants' wag
es without end, to say nothin' of
sewin' girls doin' the mendin.'
'It's a great help to Melindy, I
though, I know, said the younger
lady. 'Since she's lame, she told me
Miss Pringle's kindness was a real
Providence to her.'
'She must a been out in that grove
afore this spring,' went on Miss Ma- j
na Jane, tor, as I came lartner on,
I found this ; see, this is the kind of
work she does.'
'It's pretty, anvways,' 6aid the
younger lady, as a scrap of paper on j
which appeared a delicate tracery of j
a sprig of maiden hair fern, with a :
violet laid against it, was passed)
around the circle. '

I should say. But I'm going to car
ry this back to her, and 1 think I
shall just speak a little of my mind.
I'm really kin to John Pringle, you
know, second cousin to his father's
first wife, so it's my place to speak
to her.'
'Of course, it's your place.'
'And your duty.'
Mrs. Pringle had committed griev
ous 6ins in the eye9 of the farming
community in which she had ap
peared as a bride about three years
before.
In the first place she was in a
measure held accountable for John
Pringle's sin in turning his back on
the country lasses who waited on
the glance of his handsome eyes, to
bow before a maiden in whose supe
rior refinement he rejoiced with loy
al md proud appreciation, she nev
er for a moment considering that it
placed her in any way above his
sterling qualities of mind and heart.
She had brought her own ways with
her to the farm, and her ways were
so different froin the ways which
had been handed down from genera
tion to generation of farmer's wives,
as to keep up a constant small agita
tion among them, of which she, be
ing absorbed in her own pursuits,
was provokingly unaware.
She had brought a trusty servant
to assist in the work of the house,
which, the farm being a dairy farm,
with a good deal of work for women,
was acquiesced in by those who so
kindly concerned themselves in her
business, although it was soon whis
pered that Mrs. Itingle left things
too much to her, in order to pay at
tention to drawing, which every
body knows ought to be left alone
as soon as a girl is done school. The
disturbance which had been caused
by unnecessary repairs and adorn
ments of the old house, because
what was good mough for John's
mother ought to be good enough for
John's wife, increased, as thesewina
was turned over to hired hands, and
arose to position of excitement when
a little girl, was taken into the family
to assist in the csre of the orby.
'Though I'm free to confess, as I
don't want to do an injustice to a
living soul,' said Maria Jane, 'that
she hardly ever lets that baby out
of her sight. But. I take it, a wo
man as lias to be everlastingly fool
ing over bits of paper and dauby
paints, ain't no call to be a wife and
mother.'
'I come to bring this to you, Mis'
Pringle, s'posin' it to be your'n,' said
the worthy spinster as she was shown
into the room of the posy bed car
pet, where she found its mistress
seated at a desk, apparently absorb
ed in a few flowers which stood in a
glass of water.
'Oh, I thank you very much, Miss
Brewster. It is one of a set of little)
wild flower drawings, the wind blew
it awav from me and Sarah couldn't
find it?
It was fully two hours after break
fast, and the pretty room was still
in all the disorder of the previous
evening. Mrs. Pringle might have
noticed the comprehensive glance
with which Miss Brewster took in
this fact, for she said with a little
smile :
'You've caught me a little too
... T. . T 1 1 t .
soon. .Miss isrewster. jonn orougui
me those lovely little spring beau
ties just after breakfast, and they
fade so soon that I left things go
while I sketched them.'
In Mi?s Brewster's opinion this
was treating the sacred obligations
of thrifty housewifery entirely too
lightly.
"Most of folks I know, Mis' Prin
gle,' she said stiffly, 'thinks duty
ought to be attended to afore friv
olities. Now, John Pringle's mother-'
'Yes, I know,' said John Pringle's
mother's daughter in law. quite un
abashed, 'only you see a room can
be swept one time just as well as
another, but these flowers would not
wait'
Miss Brewster was indignantly
casting about for Fome expression
which could delicately conAey her
idea of the shittlessness of such a
principle, when an interruption oc
curred in the person of John Prin
gle coming up the walk outside.
'Ha! ha! ha ! my lady,' said the
visitor to herself. 'I wonder what
he'll think uf such doings this time
o' day, when hi3 mother'd a had her
was out and a ' she rejoiced in
seeing that Mrs. Pringle did have
the grace to look a little confused.
'O, John, dear,' she said, 'I would
not have left my room untidy, if I
had known you were coming, but it
has taken me ever since to draw
these.'
'Good morning, Miss Brewster,'
said John. 'Never mind the room,
Janet, business lvefore pleasure, you
know, eh, Miss Brewster? Look
here, Janet, I came all the way back
home to bring you these.'
Business before pleasure, indeed.
Miss Brewster was speechless as the
two bent over a few anemones he
held in his big hand. She had no
intention of including John in the
setting down she had come to give
his wife, but she now felt nerved by
the sight of such 'fool nonsense' to
say her say to both.
'They're as natural as life, ain't
they Miss BrewsteJ ?' he said show
ing her the tiny drawing with great
pride.
'I suppose so,' said the lady stiff
ly, 'but seems to me, John Pringle,
not to say its any concern of mine, I
know, but most of ns neighbors has
our opinion, I'm only meanin' it in
all kindness, you know, that is, well,'
Miss Maria Jane found her own and
her neighbor's opinion more difficult
of expression than she had anticipa
ted, 'that it aint going.to pay in the
long run to have everything going to
sixes and sevens, I mean, that a
farmer's wife can't afford to spend
all her time over such light doings.
Now your mother, John, I hope you
know'l only mean to suggest to Mis,
Piingle here, that your mother was
the greatest hand in the ountry for
bucklin' down to real solid work, no
fine arts about her. I don't mean
no inference, you know,' she hesita
ted, seeing a" look in the faces of
both her listeners which led her to
imagine her suggestions might pos
sibly be looked upon as an interfer
ence. 1 only mean inai most w
folks thinks that year lather would
not a been as forehanded a man as
he was if it hadn't a been for his
wife's helpin' hand.'
'Miss Brewster," said John, grave
ly, 'to my eyes there never was such
a woman as my mother, and like
wise there never was such a woman
as my wife. If I had known the
neighbors were so concerned over
the rather unusual way in which her
helping hand is as strong for me as
my mother's was for my father,' he
kissed the small, white hand which
hid so excited Miss Maria Jane's
contempt as being unfit for any use,
'I should have asked her to be more
open about it simply because I don't
want her misjudged among my old
friends. Now, Janet, will you pleasti
tell Miss Brewster how much you
earn in a year by your drawings ?'
'Oh, nonsense, John. Go and at
tend to your steam plow.'
'I don't want my wife to be a
money maker, as she knows and you
know, but if she is happy to turn
her talent to account, and others are
happy in doing the work she would
do if she didn't make a thousand
dollars a year more or less by her
drawing '
'What,' exclaimed Miss Brewster
in such' astonishment that John
laughed.
'Yes, ma'am. She furnishes illus
trations for different publications
and designs for China and Chintzes.
Every improvement on the place hac
been made by her; she earns more in
a week than pays her servant hir
for a month, and is piling up a little
account which will make that little
fellow out there ' he pointed to a
baby in the carriage outside the
window 'good for a better farm
than his father's, long before he
needs it'
'All by them little scrawls !'
John was watching his wife as she
laid among a few blades of grass one
or two of th violet tinted anemones
which shed through the room the
daintiest, faintest odor of spring.
Miss Brewster quietly took her leave
with a very subdued feelingtli.it she
had mud e a total failure in her ef
fort at convincing these two that one
of them was a 'a right up and down
shiftless no account sort of a wo
man.' But she was comforted by the re
flection that the wonderful thing
she had learned would create a pro
found sensation when fully reported
by her at the next meeting of the
sewing society.
Iict ihr Flirt beware.
The following article has been
sent us for publication by a victim
of the indiscreet and character blight
ing pastime of flirting :
There are a large number of our
young girls, I will not say ladies, in
this and every other city who are
never happy unless they are occu
pied in carrying on a frolicsome
street flirtation. They are not satis
fied with the smiles and favors of
young men whom they have met at
their homes or in a proper way when
out in society, but they persist in
attempting to acquire acquaintances
upon the streets by the most quest
ionable methods. Street flirts are
looked down on as bad characters
whether male or female by all 'true
ladies and gentlemen, but since a
young girl has most to suffer and
lose by such an indiscretion in hav
ing her name brought into unenvia
ble question, she ought to beware of
the dangers of her folly in time and
not incur the bad repute or suffer
from the evil influences that always
follow the street tlirt.
Many a girl has been started on
the downward road to a lifeof shame
and misery by a street flirtation,
innocent enough, perhaps, at first,
but later on, surely criminal. When
a girl consents to flirt with a strang
er on the street, even)though she be
long to a respectable family and may
be pure in fact, she is on the high
road to ruin. She may be proud
and self reliant in character, but she
occupies a position between respect
ability and abandonment, with a
strong but unseen tendency to in
cline toward the latter. All girls
who flirt are not abandoned wo
men, but one thing is certain, all
bad female characters are flirts of the
most accomplished sort. Such be
ing the case, as every intelligent girl
ought to know, I cannot understand
why respectable girls whose good
name is more dear to fathers and
mothers than priceless jewels, should
be willing to bring suspicion upon
themselves by amusing the male
street masher. A girl who will be
come a victim of such folly is both
to be pitied and censured. Charity
txorts to pity, but the facts impel
one to condemnation. The unfort
unate woman who has become an
outcast from society is sometimes
forced t her condition by necessity,
and walks the streets to catch and
fascinate sinfully disposed men to
earn a miserable living. They fol
low their degraded calling with many
a heartburning and pang of regret,
and in their misfortune can be pit
ied ; but the majority of young girls
who flirt on the streets degrade
themselves from no ofher motive
than to have a good time, as they
call it, as if lowering their standard
of womanhood was having a Rood
time. Oh, girls, take warning before
it is too late, for true modesty is one
of the finest adornments that has
been vouchsafed to women, and no
one can resist admiring a girl thus
arrayed ; but none respect those who
put it away and take on brazonry as
does the street flirt. Girls who en
gage themselves in this simple but
ugly habit should see themselves as
others view them and they would
never again be guilty of this unpard
onable misconduct of street flirting,
or if they could only see the sad,
miserable future that lays before
them and hear the sad tales of some
abandoned woman, how she fell
from her perch of respectability, and
know the miserable, wretched lifeof
the writer of this who is now beyond
recall, they would certainly abandon
the disgusting habit of becoming the
toys of evil disposed men by street
flirting.

Byroa After Death.
In the month of July, 1S24, the
body of Lord Byron was brought
from Missolonghi to England, and on
being landed from- the Florida was
removed to the house of Sir Edward
Knatchbull, who then resided in
Great George street, Westminster.
' Were I to live a thousand years,'
says a well known writer who went
to see the deceased lying in his cof-
hn, 1 should never forget my leel
ings as I gazed upon the face of the
illustrious dead. The body was at
tired in that most awful of habili
ments a shroud. It was wrapped
in a blue cloth cloak, and the throat
and head were uncovered. The for
mer was beautifully moulded. The
head of the poet was covered with
short, crisp, curling locks, slightly
streaked with gray hairs, especially
over the temples, which were ample
and free from hair, as we see in the
portraits. The face had nothing of
the appearance of death about it.
It was neither sunken nor discolored
in the least but of a dead, marble
whUenesa the expresa'o l was that
of stern quietude. How classically
beautiful was the curved upper lip
and the chin. I fancied the nose
anneared as if it was not in harmony
with the other features, but it might
possibly hf ve been a little disfigured
by the process of embalming. The
forehead was high and broad in
deed, the whole body was extremely
large it must have been so to have
contained a brain of such capacity.
But what struck me most, was the
exceeding beauty of the profile, as I
observed it when the head was lifted
for the purpose of adjusting the fur
niture. It was perfect in its way,
and seemed like a production of
Phidias. Indeed' it far more resem
bled an exquisite piece of sculpture
than the face of the dead so still,
so shapely defined and so marble
like in its repose. I caught the view
of it. hut for a moment, yet it was
lone enough to have it stamped upon
my " memorv as a thing of beauty,
which noor Keats tells w is
ajoy
foreyer.'

He fell asleep after a time, and lo !
he dreamed again. And it seemed
to him in a vision, that, having arm
ed himself with certain papers and
books, he turned his steps once
more towards the palace, and knock
ed at the gate.
; Hello, is that you, again?" said
Peter. ' What do you wish ?'
' Let those persons again come
forth,' replied the editor ; and Peter
this time made their, all con;e
through the gate and stand out

the same cries as before.
' Why didn't you notice that big
egg I sent yon ?'' yelled the first
It was rotten.'
Whv didn't you write up aiy

' Yon had your tickets printed at
the other office,' calmly replied the
local editor.
' Why did you write up about old
Tonilinson's "hens, and never speak
of mv new gate?'
Old Tomlinson paid for his ad
vertisement, and you didn't. Here's
the bill,' said the editor.
4 Why did you spell my name
wrong in the programme?' groaned
the local talent.
'Take a look at this manuscript
for yourself,' said the editor with a
grim smile.
The rest of the company yelled
their comnlaints in unison, and the
editor calmly sorted out a series of
bills for unpaid subscriptions, and
presented each with one, and it was
so that when they received them
thev tore their hair and rushed vio
lently down a steep place into the
sea, and Peter, taking the editor
calmly bv the hand, led him within
the gate. X. Y. World.
Save the Cokx FonDER.-.There
will be as good a crop of cornfodder
this year as in most years, hence it
behooves every farmer to look to its
careful preservation, which is not
alwavs done as it should be. It is
true the fodder is a heavy article to
handle, UDles the husking is deferred
to a period when the fodder becomes
somewhat dry, sometimes a little
mouldy, and then it is frequently
left in the field until the latter part
of November or beginning of Decem
ber, greatly to its injury. The corn
itself, when the hulking is deferred,
frequently becomes mouldy, and its
value deteriorated. It is better to
husk it as soon aftr the stalks are
cut, and the grains have become
hardened, and crib at once. This
allows the air to pass through the
mass freely and dries it gradually
and safely.
All farmers, who have any expe
rience in feeding good cornfodder,
must admit that cattle prefer it to
the best clover hay, and it is fully as
milk producing, and more so when
the stalks are slightly salted. They
will then eat up all that is thus pre
pared for them and thrive upon it
We know this as well from our own
experience as the experience of oth
ers. Cornfodder is not, therefore,
merely worth being cured in the
best manner, but it should be an
object of real concern with all who
keep cattle, equally as much as with
clover hay. It is not pleasant, then,
to see so many fields of fodder every
where over the country moulding
and spoiling late in November, or
even the fore part of December,
merely for the sake of a little addi
tional" labor to preserve it as it
should be, by storing it away to
helr out the wintt r stock of cattle
food.

The Growth of X. Y.
Two hundred and seventy years
ago the good ship Tiger, command
ed by Captain Adraien Black, was
burned to the water's edge as she
lay at anchor, just off the southern
end of Manhattan Island. Her
crew, thus forced into winter quar
ters, were the first white men who
built and occupied a house on the
land where New Yerk now stands ;
"then," to quote the graphic lan -
guage ot mts .umo, m ner nistory
of the city, "in primeval solitude,

and claim its own. Nature wore a

Monhattan's twenty-two thousands
acres of rock, lake and rolling table
land, rising at places to a height of
one bund red and thirty-eight leet,
were covered with somber ferests,
and old, decayed and withered limbs
contrasted with the younger growth
of branches; and wild flowers
wasted tneir sweetness among the
dead leaves and uncut herbage at
their roots. Tbe wanton grape-vine
swung carelessly from the topmost
boughs of the oak and the sycamore;
and blackberry and raspberry bush
es, like a picket-guard, presented a
bold front in all possible avenues of
approach. The entire surface of the
isknd was bold aud granitic, and in
profile resembled the cartilagious
back of the sturgeon." This prime
val scene was the product of natural
forces working through uncounted
periods of time, the continent slow
ly rising and falling in the sea like
the heaving breast of a world asleep;
glaciers carving patiently through
ages the deep estuaries, seasons in
numeiable clothing the hills with
alternate bloom and decay.

Objections to the plan are the labor
involved in opening the banks when
