THERE'S WOSK 50 UGH TO DO.
Tbe blackbird early leave its nest
To meet the smiling morn.
And gathering lragments for its neat
From upland wood and land.
The busy bee that wings it way
Mid sweets of varied hue, t
At every flower would seem to say
-There's work enough to do "
Tbe cowslip and the spreading vine,
The daisy in the grass, t
Tbe snowdrop and the eglantine,
Preaoh sermons as we pass.
Tbe ant, within its cavern deep,
Would bid us labor too.
And writes upon its tiny heap
"There's work enough to do."
To have a heart for those who weep,
Tbesottuh drunkard win ;
To rescue all tbe children, deep
In ignorance and sin ;
To help tbe poor, tbe hungry feed,
To give coat and shoe.
To see that all can write and read
There's work enough to do."
The time is short the world is wide,
And much has to be done.
This wondrous earth and a1! its pride,
Will vanish with tbe tan !
Tbe moments fly on lightning wings,
And life's uncertain too,
We ve none to waste on foolish things
' There's work encugh to do."
Tbe planets, at their MaVer's will,
Move onward to iheir.cars.
For nature's wheel is never still
Progressive as the stars !
Tbe leaves that flutter in the air,
And summer breezes woo.
One Foleinn truth to man declare
'l'her 'a work enough to do."-
Who then can sleep when all around
Is acuve fresh and free?
Shall man creation' lord be found
Les5 busy than tbe bee ?
Our courts and alleys are the field.
If men would search tbem through,
Tbe best the sweets of labor yield
And ' work enough to do."
Mrs. Jones' Trials.
Mr. Jones was married. He had been
married a long time ever sin e he could
remember, almost. The first Mrs. Junes
was a iirecty school-boy love, and died early.
Mr. Jones was inconsolable lor more than
six months, and then finding the burdeu of
Lis Krief too heavy to be borue alone, de
cided to thare bis regrets with a sympathiz
ing friend. The connection was a happy
one tor many years, but alas for the muta
bility of earthly pleasure! Mr. Jones was
again a widower at the age of forty, and be
came extremely lonely and having the hab
it of marrying, he offered his broken life
and bereaved affections to Miss Patience
Noreross, a mature lady of thirty. W'e
have said that Mr. Jones bad a habit of be-,
ing married, and it had so grown upon him,
tbat, had Providence opened the way, he
would in ail probability have followed up a
series ol bereavements with a succession of
conflations. But in selecting Miss Pa
titnee he had no regard to compatibility ot
temper. He had never thought anything
about it. His other marriages had been
lapny incidents, and so tar as he knew and
reflected that was the order of nature. Uut
Mi Patience had a habit, too, and" it was
in accordance with her name, for it was a
iaiiitg that fehe leaned to virtue's side and
beyond it. She lied inthe remote and
the future. The present with her was nev
er anything but a makeshift, a mere tempo
rary expedient till better times; Distance
not only lent enchantment to her objects of
pursuit, but was absolutely the only charm
to which she was sensitive. She really
liied Mr. Jones almost up the hour of his
proposals ; ehe meekly tolerated hini ever
after.
They were boarding for a time; and the
ifo said submissively to all of her friends
"Oh, yrs, it is very comfortable for the
prevut till we feel able to keep house."
. Mr. Jones, after the remark had been re
iterated tor the fiftieth time, asserted that
be was able to keep house. To prove this,
be engaged and furnished a tasteful tene
ment, and another year saw Miss Patience
tbe patient mistress of her own fireside.
"What a pleasant situation !" said Dame
Grundy, as bhe called An a four of inspec
tion. "Why, yes," returned Mrs. Jone, "it is
iil we can expect in a house we hire. If
e were to baild we should plan very differ
ently of course, and then you know one
could have the heart to make improvements
in shrubbery and fruit trees. Oh, Mrs.
wrundv, I hope to live long enough to have
hou.-.eof my own."
Mr. Jones was well to do and good na
tared. Moreover, he wa. a little obtuse, as
e bave seen, and did not see that some
thing to put up with is, with some of us, a
otHv'0 ,,ecessiti- So be 6aid very gener-
Mrs. Jones, in another year you shall
"ve a houe 0f your own."
1 am afraid you cannot afford to build
ni a house as I would like. V
'I can and will. You shall tnake the
Pan yourself, or draw a new one if you pre-
' "'t "ones sighed, "it will take so long
ln building ;" and from that hour every
r?tlonal ei.joyn.ent was deferred" till they
should i get into their new d wetting. There
IVi UMnl e'ays an disappointments
15 -e Junes' love of endurance was fully
sinned ; she was regaled with lingering
6eetness long drawn out
At leneth the house was built and for
stled. the grounds laid out and planted.
:n.y he wheels of the new establishment
.Jlr'y in motion. Moreover, hy rare good
Ue, there was very little to alter or undo; i
me arrangements were desirable,
ik cxPe"rnents successful
1 hope, my dear," said Mr. Jones, "that
-rV" a conli,ion l tate comfort."
,1 J, eil- years rolled on, and thev were set
Vri. iQ flowers bloomed and the fruit
r'Pi The, turf tbjk6eii-. it ltet,
and the trees grew tall and cast a welcome
shade. Strangers paused to admire the
premises as they passed, and neighbors paid
their various tributes of envy and admiration.
Mr. Jones smoked his prime cigar on the
back piazza, and grew to look portly and
contented. Not so with Mrs. Jones. To
all enccmiums lavished upon her residence
she lepliid submissively, "Yes, it's a pretty
place, but we don't know whom we built it
for. We have no children to come up after
us, and we are just putting up improve
ments for strangers to pulldown."
Was ever a woman so favored with an in
dulgent fortune? Within a year from the
utterance of this remark, Mrs. Jones was
the happy no. the patient mother ot a real,
genuine, glorious baby. Mr. Jones, who
had with difficulty refrained from happiness
before, was uncontrollably jubilant now.
The boy was healthy, and handsome, and
bright. There was no mistake about him;
he was a fixed fact, a star of the first mag
nitude. He had wants, it is true, for which
the fond father was intensely thankful, for
to gratify and prevent them was his supreme
delight.
Hut the mother? Alas! hers were all a
mother's anxieties and forebodings. Till
the child was weaned she scarcely evrr left
the house, or indulged in the simplest luxu
ries of diet. Then there was the long pe
riod of teeth-cutti.ig, during which her ma
ternal anxieties were never appeased. Then
she lived in fear of the measles, whooping
cougl. and scarlet fever, till the young hero
had met and confrere J them all. He grew
round and rosy he thin and anxious, but
still unalterably patient. At school she
feared he might study too much or too little,
and as her fears were pretty equally divided
between the two perils, it is presumed that
he o voided both.
Then she had a general misgiving that he
would be spoiled, and from tto much pet
ting at home become an indolent and use
less member of society. But, though the
reader may share her fears in this regard,
Master J ones falsified them all. Indulgence
and opportunity seemed to agree with him.
He was ambitious ani self-reliant, and not
objectionably willful. When at last hede
cided to study f r a profession, the mother
fitted out his warJrooe with reluctant care,
and t he.fi rst letter she received from college
was moistened with soiemore than the full
proportion of her maternal tears.
"I am glad he is doing well," she said,
in reply to a remark from her husband,
"but I miss him more than can tell you."
Sirce we have on!; one we could but wish
he could have staid with us. The seven
years of his student life are very long to
wait."
"To wait for what?" inquired Mr. Jones.
"For the good time coming," replied his
wife
"Why, woman, the good timn has come
long ago. Can't you see it? We've been
having it all along."
"It may be so with you, Mr. Jones but
I have never been free from 'anxiety for a
minute in my life."
"And you will never be.my dear," replied
Mr. June, as he shook the ashes from his
cigar. "It is positively your strongest point,
and I have quite an admiration for your
skill in it. You will find more to submit to
under any given tircumstances than any
woman I have ever known."
Mrs. Jones raised her eyes to her hus
band's face in meek surprise. She forgave
him and was silent.
How they Marry in Missouri. A
somewhat singular matrimonial alliance oc
curred at Seigel, Mo., the other day. A
gentleman of that plice was engaged to a
young lady, the wedding day was fixed, and
the guests invited. A few days before the
nuptials were to have lecn solemnized the
father and brother of the bridegroom, by
threats of disinheritance, persuaded him to
disappoint the expectant bride, ar-d make
himself invisible in the vicinity. The eve
ning came, and at the appointed time the
wedding guests .collected at the house of
the bride's mother, but the faithless swain :
did not put in an appearance. An hour
passed, and the bridi and her friends were '
overwhelmed with embarrassment and mor
tification. When all hope of a wedding
had vanished, a young gentleman of the par
ty, hem captivated with the beauty of the
bride, and dosirou- that the company should
not be disappointed, proposed, was accepted
and the couple was accordingly married.
The guests were astonished and delighted,
and the bride and groom looked happy.

Goethe was in company with a mother
and daughter, when the latter, being re
proved for somethin?,blushed and burst into
tears, lie said: "How beautiful your re
proach has made your daughter. That
crimson hue and those silvery tears become
her much better than any ornament of gold
or pearls ; these may be hung on th neck
of any woman, but those are never seen
disconnected with moral purity. A full
blown flower, besprinkled with purest hue,
is not so beautiful as this child blushing be
neath her parent's displeasure, and shed
ding tears of sorrow for her fault. A blush
is the sign which nature hanif out to show
where chastity and honor dwell."
