The farmer's wits is sitting alone
,
In' the dusk:of a winter'aday,
While'over the hltli the shadowa fall,
4nd over the meadows gray,
And ihe cares of many, a busy hour
Steal last from her heart away.
Her eyes have wandered through mists of
,To the church yard under the
Whereibe snow, like the wings of a brood 4
lug dove,
•
Lies softiand ptire and 'still,
And where ler treasurer's, so long ago,
She lid at theldaster's will.
And ah 1 how oft, as the Clara go by,
She starts, as her. listening ear
Sas almost caught on the passing breeze
Voices so sweet and clear. '
"Tie the angels calling!. she thinks. "Ah me
It is weary waiting here."
The farmer 'comes from his work, at last,
_
,In the dusk ot Wintees day;
And he Sits him doWn by his faithful wife,
- • And she parts. his locks so gray,
And looks in lus,face with • a loving smile
That years steal never 'away.
And li,acit'againots, her dim eyes turn •
To the hills where the shadows fall,'
She ihinks, "My treasurers are lying there.
ButHe has not taken all, s
Since one is waiting beside me still
Till the ingefsvoices call,"
But the weeks are slow, and the aged two,
In the dusk of many a day,
Will watch the shadows come and go
O'er - the meadows cold and gray,
Ere they,at. the lfaster'sewill, may lie .
Where their treasurers are laid away.'
WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO;
IS a wife and mother, woman can make the
fortune and happiness of her husband and
children ; 'anti,' it she > did nothing else, surely
phis wesulti beta suffleient destiny. By her thrift,
prudepce and tact, she can secure to her partner
and to herself a competence: in old age, no ma.t
ter how small their beginning or how adverse 1
a fate nia.y be theirs. By her cheerfulness she
can restore her husband's'spirit, shaken by the•
anxiety of business. By her tender care she
can otterirestore him to health, if disease ha.s
overtasked his poivers. - By ,her counsel and
her love" she can win him from had company,
iftemPtation in an evil hour has led him astray.
By her,eilimple, her precepts, and her sex's in
sight.into character, she.call mould her children
b.:)wever adverse their disposition, into noble
men and woiuen. And by, leading in all things
a true and beautiful life she can . refine, elevate
and spiritualism all who come within reach ;
so that with others, et her sex emulating and
assisting . her, she can do more to regenerate the .
world than - all the statesman and reformers
tliat ever, legislated. She can do much, alas I
perhaps more, to degrade man it she chooses.to
dolt: Who can estimate the evils that- woman
has in power to do ? As a wife she can, ruin her
hushand -by extravagance,. folly,•or want of re
flection. S.he can make a demon and an out
cast ot 1)111:1, Will might othelwise become a

An amusing story is told of a young Ameri

'two. denionisells to occompany him tq , the
theatre. He secured three seats, and droVb to
the house of his lair friemis, half hoping that
one was indisposed, so that his felicity might
be utthdunded. The two were writing him,
and:their .ffiother' as well, who kindly invited
herself to chaperon ithe party, and intimated
that ber daughters could under no circum
stauces go , without het. There was no help

wild teasts that ke..xcite the conntrcinen to
wide-mouthed wonder in the summer mordhs.
He has elephants and camels, tigers leopards,
bears, monkey's, lions and all the rest of those
four-footed villians that challenge the admira
tion of =Young America. He has elephant t s
that are more than a hundred years old, bears
'that sit 'on their hinds legs, a tiger that
would on hisbead and winks, and lions that would
eat a man ;without waiting to say grate. He
lias a sea lion that eats a peck of fish and then
swims around his tank :looking for more; a
hyena that knaws : his way, out of everything
that he can be put in and has to be chained;;- a
