WORK AND THINK.
Hammer, and tongs, and anvils ringing,
Waking echoes all day long.
In a deep-toned voice are , singing •
Thrifty Labor's iron song.
From a thousand fly wheels bounding,.
From ;a thousand ringing Igoms,
Night and day the notes are sounding
Through the misty fact'ry rooms.
Listen I workman, to their playing— • •

Still they 're singing—still they 're saying,
Whilst you labor, learn to think I"
Think what power lies,within you,
For what triumphs ye'are formed,
If, in aid of bone and sinew,
Hearts of emulation warmed, '
Mighty Thought ye-woo and cherish, !"
What shall hold your spirits dOwn?
What shall.make your high hope perish?
Why shall ye mind fortunes frown?
bo•}e wish for profit, pleasure?
Thirst at'Learning's fount to drink
Crave honor, fame or treasure?
Ye the germs have—work and think
Think I but9ot alone of living,
Like the horse from day to day;, •
Think l bat not alone of giving
Health for pelf, or soul for pay;
Think 1 0, be machines no longer—
Engines made of flesh and blood
Think! 'twill make you fresher, stronger;
Link you to the great and good •
. Thought exalts and lightens labor,
Thought forbids the soul,to sinks i
Self-respect and love of neighbor,
Mark the men who work—and think!
Think! and let the thought now nerve - you
Think of 111C11 who've gone before
Leaving luiteous names to serve youi

With the sword of thought—the pen 1

In the ranks of thinking men.

Courtship and Cleaning House
It was the most golden, sad glorious of
September days. The. veil of blue haze
banging like' a canopy over the distant
Mils, seemed absolutely to quiver in the
radiant glow of autumn sunshine, and the
grapes, whose.atnethystine cluster blush
ed through the trellis of clinging leaves,
grew`deeper in color and more blootily, as
if they had -stolen the imperial dye of :a
thousand purple sunsets and brilliant
dawns, as the sun mounted higher in the
cloudless' domo of heaven. No frescoed
Ceiling-hung with jeweled pendants was
eve' tilore beautiful than this arbor of
grape leaves,.where light and shadow
mingled in fittul arabesque with :every.
moving wind,and so thought Richard
4ayfie - ld, as he came slowly up the gar
den path that led to his brother'eF / house.
The mansion itself, however, Wits far e
from presenting the gala aspect Which
,pervaded all nature, and our hero'senun
tenance underwent a ludimous transform
-alien, as he eyed the yawning windows
and wide open doors •
"By all the powers I" he said tci

With these philosophical reflections
yet in his mind, Mr. Mayfield !deftly
threaded his wai i by a colony of white
wash pails and lime kettles that surround

scene of action.. It was quite plain, froni

Mayfield, who was mounted astride of a
double-up, feather bed, beating it fearfully
with his mother's best silk parasol.
"Ain't it aplended, Uncle Dick ?"
claimed Miss Julia, who was endeavoring
to 'pry out' the principle of sound fit]] a
$3O music boa, by introducing a Car'vrog•
knife into its interior . Works, while'Mis
Mayfield, half distracted by ; calls frotu
divers directions, was toially tinconscions
of the mischief being wrought
" Lick, I. am au' puzzled and annoyed,"
she , said ; "bete 'is Jidm called to the city
a
by pressing law suit, and the whcde
house upsidedown !" •
"Thought that was what Cott ladies
liked," said Dick, perching himself upon
the top of the dining table,•and rescuing
a shell basket, frOm the destructive grasp
of the sruallest Mayfield of all: •
"And my cook is gone, and the fire
won't burn,and the wall whiteners haven't
come this mornitrg,end the parlor ceiling
is half unfinished. and you know the sew
ing society is to be here tomorrow night
--and, 0 Dick, what shall I*?"
"Don't fret?" Said Richard, soothingly,
I'll make the fire burn, or I'll know the
reason why , and I'll finish !the ceing
for you."
'You?"
"Yes, I. Didn't I whiten my own room
at College, when We•boys sru4cd it into
ihe color of an old snuff-box.' And then
I'll tack the carpet down and see about
putting those dislocated bedsteads to
getlrer."
"But Dick, you must be too tired, 'after
dancing till two o'clock at the pic-nic
last night!' '
" Me tired? r! Fiddlestick - I Where's
the refractot V stove I"
The fire was liqt proof against Dick's
determination. 'lt broke Into a cheerful
blaze the moment be attacked the citadel.

The skjll with which he next erected a
scaffolding and mounted thereon with a
panoply of • thiteWash pails and brushes,
was perfectly astounding, the more -so. as
his slender fingers, rather 'pale complex-
ion, aristocratically small feet and llamas,
conveyed the, itlea of one *lio was adapted
only to Broadway pavements' and glitter
iug ball rooms.
"I t►oppose the 'wor'kmen diatet leave
their wardrobes when they went away last
evening, Dell ?"..he asked when he had
scaled the r9ther perilous height.
"No," said his sister.in-laW, laughing.
"Then just bind me that fold sbeet—
and a piece of bed cord yonder. Now,
don't you admire my tout ensemble ?"•
"Uncle Dick looks like a ghost," said
Master Henry Augustus.
"No he. don't —he looks like the old
miller doWn at The pond," struck in Miss
Julia. .
"Upon my word, I don't know which
i 8 the most complimentary," obseived
Richard drily. "Now theif clear the
track every soul of you aud give me a
chance !" .
And he worked on, now rausing to sur
vey his achievements, but atenest of all
relapsing into' th nights of the beautiful
:damssl at the pie-nic last night who bad
been so studiously told And ;reserved to
ward him.
"Sheidon't like me," thought he, .'and
I, for the life of um, can't tell why. Well,
as 'I said before. women are Ltinaceo.uuta
ble.concerns."
"Amy," said Miss Browtileigh to her
pretty young consin, "I wish you would
just run over to Mrs. Mayfield's with this
note. The children are at school, and
have no one to send. •
"Oh, im," said Amy, "while a fresh

"How do you know but that Mr. May
field is 7" • • •
"Can't be possible," said Amy, archly
shaking her curls. "His 'hands are too
small for anything but lemon color kid
gloVes. I'll wager a new. bonnet, Alice:
that be never did anything more labori
ous than 'to carry.a box of.cigars, in his
life"
Mis's Brownleigh laughed, and Amy
passed out of the vine-wreathed porch,
wondering within herself whether Mr.
Richard May eld had been much vexed
because s ,had refused to dance with
him the evening before.' •
Mr. ohn Mayfte house was at no
vary great distant°, and as' Amy was TIRO
intimate with that lady, and understood
the domestic saturnalia that was at pre
sent transpiring within her domain, she
did not 'think it necessary to knock, but
opened the door and walked in without

aeretnony.
There stood Dick, the apex'of a pyra
midal scaffolding of boards, his fine broad
cloth raiment obscured by a lime-splashed
sheet Which was girdled round hiQ waist
by a ponderous knot of rope, cud his
black curls overshadowed by a coarse old
straw hat, working away fir dear life. His
back was toward 'he door, anii,surposing
the step to be that of his sister-in he
said gaily, without tuining the head-r—
-" What ! is the carpet ready so soon,
Bell? I'm jittt through here, End I'll
come and tack it down in one minute !"-
Not receiving .any answer, he threw
down his brush and turned round.
'•bliss trownleigh !"
He never looked so handsome in his
life—and that - was the first thought that
rushed througt.A.my's mkt/ in the midst
of all her embarrassments: for Dick had
the advantage of the young lady in this
respect—she was embarrassed and be was
not. He sptang.laughingly,to the greiind,
and thiew off his gtostly drapery.
"YOu. must think I have a curious taste
•
to
.eostume," said he,. archly, "but the
truth is Isabel has been disappointed in
her 44), and my mother is away from
home, iso I am helping her clan house."
"I did not know—l thought you had
no tase"—:stammered Amy, unconscious
ly, spe4king oat her thoughts.
1' You suppos - cd that I was' nothing
more than an ornamental piece of
tore. j Ask Isabel about that," said Dick,
hillf piqued. half. smiling. "But can Ibe
of use to you now ?"
"I had a note from my cousin for Mrs.
Ma;field."said Amy, still speaking scarce
ly above her breath.
"She has gone down to the farther or
chard," said Dick. "It is some a tance
and not a very straight path. If ;you
will Wait until I remove a little of this
lime, I shall be happy to escort you down
there."
Half an hoar ago Amy would have
haughtily informed him it was quite un-,
necessary for her to trouble him—now
A° stood and waited.
It ;was a long walk, under the over;
spreading shadow of noble apple trees,
bending with their weight of crimson and
rustic fruit, And through meadows ankle
deep in purple and bloom, and nodding
plumes of golden red, vet, for :all that.
Amy was quite surprised when Mr. May
field game in sigbt, carrying a little basket
of, rose ckeeked peaches from'a pet tree
heyoad.
We, believe it is one ofc woman's special
and incontrovertable privileges to change
her -Mind—therefore nobody was lunch
astonished when three months subsej,
quen - tly there was a rumor of the engage
ment of Mr. Mayfield •and Miss Brown:
leigh. Still, however, Dick liivays de
clared that 'twas insoluable mystery to
him that when serenades and schottishes,
poetry and perfumes had all failed to win
an entrance to the maiden's heart, a
white-brush should have been the nom:
mantic weapon which_ at last brought
down the barricades.
