LOVE SONG:
Softly day faints and dies,
Sinking from sight;
Up through the dreamy skies,
Climbeth the night.
Shadows begin to rove
In the blue halls above;
Shut out the world, my love—
Thou art my light.
My heart was like a barqiie
Drifting at sea,
Lost in the mist and dark,
Ere I loved thee,
Stars that ne'er set nor rise,
Constant to polar skies,
Such are thy beacon eyes,
Shining for me:
Sweetly together, love.
Our lives are twined ;
I am thy heart, my love,
Thott art my mind.
I ean but see through thee,
Thou may'st hut feel through me,
Perfect in one are we,
As God designed.
What I may lack thou hast;
Want is uhkrown
Since we Have come at last,
Edch to our own,
Seeptered and crowned thou art;
King of our happy heart;
Surely no power shall part
Thee from my throne.

BE KIND.
———
BY MRS, M. A. KIUDhER,
Little children, bright and fair,
Blessed with every needful care,
Always bear this thing in mind;
God tommands us to be kind;
Kind not only to our friends,
They on whom our care depends;
Kind not only te the poor,
They who poverty endure:
Bust in spite of form or feature,
Kind to every living creature.
Never pain or anguish bring,
Even to the smallest thing;
For, remember that the fly,
Just as much as you or I,
Is the work of that great Hand
Firat hath made the sea and land ;
Therefore, children, bear in mind,
Ever, ever to ‘be kind.” Ib.

Grant's administration has no use for
the soldier, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing :
“Scarcely a man has been appointed
heroes who so largely represent the
manhood of that State, and who went
out with their lives in their hands to
endure hunger and fatigue, and cold
| and heat, that we might sit here as the
representatives of a country saved. But

aud all essential quilification of hav-
ing been my persistent and fierce eal-
umuiator, and the fiercer the better in
ny estimation, of those who ure the
new-found patrons of those appoin-
tees.
“The soldier may look back with
pride and satisfaction upon the record
of his four vears of gallant service ; he
may recall the bloody scenes of that
history, all of which he saw, and part
of which he was, and count the nights
and days of hunger and toil and of
mortal danger, cheerfully borne in he-
half of the country he loves. He may
battle as a memento of his courage
and his faith in his country’s cause;
he may contemplate with such hope
and consolation as he can the dismal
future, through which he is condemned
to pass, a useless cripple, or his body
eieatrized with wounds ; it all counts
for nothing if he bas been so imprudent
as to gceept a favor from me, his friend
and fellow soldier, when I had it is my
power to serve him. This adt¥inistra-
tion hee no use for him.”
It must be remembered that Mr.
Ross is a radical of the straitest sect,
that he supported Gen. Grant during
the late canvass, on the stump, and that
but she other day he had sufficient in-
fluence with his political associates in
the Senate, to have one of Grant's ap-
pointments rejected. He ought to be
a good witness with our radical
friends.

Articulation is a mere mechanical
effort of the vocal orgs. It can be
taught even to many animals. With
proper care and training, it can, of
course, be taught to the deaf mute.
This ie no longer a mooted question ;
is is an established fact, of which the
experience at this sehool is a sufficient
confirmatioo. By lip-reading, the
thoughts of the speaker are conveyed
to the deaf by the medium of the eye,
which may he trained to translate the
motions of the lips; made in articula-
tiofr,as the ear leans to distinguish be-
tween the sounds of the different sylla-
bles. But in learning articulation and
lipreading, the child is at the same

with which they had béen neatly laid in

by the lava heat, having been protect-
ed by a quantity of ashes covering the
door. There is no baker's mark on
the loaves; theyare circular, about
nine inclics in diameter, rather flat,
and indented (evidently with the ba-
ker's elbow) in the center, and are
slightly raised at the sides, and are di-
vided by eight lines radiating from the
