Of death with her Is tiCen, -
And on her sputa. casket,lloB
No wreath. of bloom and green

O not Per her the florist's art,
, r
The modal:3g weeds Of 'woo,
But blessings of the'voiceless hq,srt,
The love that passetteohow I
Yot all about the, softening air
Of new-born 04 eethess tells,
And the ungathorett Nay-flowers wear
The tints a ocean'sbells.
The old. assuring miracle

And earth bikes up its parable
'Of life from death once mare.
Mere organ swell and church-boll toll
Methinks but ditscord were.
The prayerful silence of the soul
Is best befitting her.
No sound should break tho quietude
Alike of earth and sky:-
0 welderlug wind in Seabrook wood, I
Breathe but a half-helrd sigh
Sing softly, spring bird, for bar sake,
And thon not distant sea..

Anfl thou wort Galileo I • .
For all her quiet life flowed on
As meadow streamleta How, -
Whore fresher. green reveals alone
Tho noiseless ways they go.. _
From her loved place of prayer I see
The plalif-roted mourniers pass.
With,slow feet treading reverently
The graveyard's , springing grass.
Make room, 0 mourning ones for me, ,
Where, like the friends of Paul,

night after night, with her boy away.in the
army and long lists of killed and wounded
filling the newspapers. She had cut up Al

est toil. - rm. more, than, twenty years she
had lived in the old dilapidated stay farm
house in a narrow round of duties center
ing at the cradle of her child, and later about
the bed of her sick husband, and yet she
had tasted keenly most of the ipy's and sor
rows that belong to, woman's lot. Her
sphere had never seemed mean or inade
quatelo herself—for holding her child in
lief arms, she felt that she po6sessed all the
dignity and honor earth has to bestow.
But the tears would drop sometimes now
as Patience sat alone at her work in the
'slender ray of the candle. There wefts vine
shadows where thp rcivir of polled, plants
had been, for it was spring, and the gerani
ums and heliotropes were out in the little
dooryard beds, and sberested in the longer
twilight, and lived over the life she first had
lived as wife, then as mother, afterward as
a lonely widow with her boy away at the
war.. Patience had always lived in others.
It seemed as though her heart had no sepa
rate action of its own, and received its pul
sations from the beating hearta of those she
oved.
When Washington was threatened and
danger menaced the Pennsylvania frontier,
Alvinlad grown moody at, home because
she opposed his wish to join the voluteers.
It was the darlt hour of her country's peril,
and Patience had wrestled and struggled
and prayed until she gained strength to let
her boy go out of her anus.. She bad given
her ewe lamb,—she sat alone. •
Her farm consisted of a few acres of rath
er stony land that lay close to the house
where she lived. Her husband had been a
cooper, working at tubs and barrels off and
'on the busy time of the year; and Alvin
had learned the trade, too. But the little
'shop was closed now, and the fields were let
out on shares, and eVer since he marched
away in the coat'of , army blne her boy bad
sent back his pay to the widow, and her
cruse and liesket were never empty. • • Her
neighbors were very kind. Abiali Williams,
who lived on the next place, had banked up
her house in the fall and dug and stored lar
winter vegetables,, and in the spring as soon
us the ground grew mellow he came with
hls ox team to plough her garden. By Car
petAnaking and odd bits of sewing Patience
was able to supply all her slender wants.—
Not a penny of her boy's earnipgs lied ever
been touched: That money was sacred.—
Patience had already spoken to Enoch Hol- '
brook about putting it out at interest.
the long winter evenings, when she only
heard the slow tick of the clock in the cor
ner, or the sough of the wind in -the pine
trees, her brain was busy with plans for her
boy's future.
Deacon Spicer brought the paper in every
third day after be had slowly spelled it over
for an hour or two at. home. The news had
traveled two or three hundred miles by rail
and stage before it came to her hand, but
Patience watched for it with a beating
heat.- The account of a bloody battle gen
erally drox e her to bed with a bad headache
caused by the harder aching of a mother's
heart. Itachael's sympathies were mainly
on the mother's side; she did not think so
much. of the sttiehen wives or deaolitte
young maidens mourning 'over their dead.
She had one of those intense but. narrow na
tures which Puritanism develops,- with little
imagination, but with strong and fervent
feelings. Her mind was so deeply religious
that the whole of life Was invested with a
stitt of, tatted ardor;: even her joy found
expression iu some grand old covenanter's
ittrin that seemed. to till the pauses of the
word in the forest grove near at hand.
Patience had looked forward many times
to the possible harm that might.corne to
-Alvin. She had thought of her loneliness
that perhamniight end only with the grave,*
and how in satire distant autumn day, when
the crickets shoeld,be 'chirping in the trtuh•
We, she might feel glad that she had pluck
ed out her hearrand given it to God—re
membering that ho who would save his life
must lose it. ,
Mut Item were other days when a sober
gladness colored-her mood,- and the sublime
old hymns that told* or perseCtition'and'vi *-
tory over death camo rolling out on her rid
voice. Then it 'was easy for her to belie ,e
that Alvin would be spared, and she thought
of his home-coming as of a second birth,
when the Lord' would again put him into
her arms as.-'a free , gift. Wi th her deep
heart,' that took suph pagerh of what it
lovd, kindling ana Warming as it held it,
she pictured the life that they would lead
together, and slowly pieced out a story of
exquisite kind in that, 1 ttle whitewashed
room where all his Watery had written it
self. A certain nurrOwneas of vision as well
as the absorption of her loVe Made Patience
almost, blind to 10)40i - 011re Might bring to
Ipss in ' - Alvin's heart; The child end the
man we;re enviousl' blent tier tin :night.
He might want n wifesometime, but lie was
hardly grown up yet. Tliemwonid b time
enough to think of that years hence.
Beyond- the pine grove stood the Ray
flitrnhouse and there lived Dior Ray's daugh
ter fluidal], .who had been a plain child, but
had grown into a lovely young woman with
a soft voice, and brown eyes, and longlash
es which when ,downcast rested upon a
pearly cheek. Some rumor about Alvin_
and litthialt had come to the .ours of Pa
tience, but, she blew it away like a feather
' floating in the air. ' Dier Ray's wife--she
thought-3vas a talking woman, not mali
cious or bed-hearted, but, foolish about her
gill; so she avoided going to the farmhouse
beyond the bill. When ItErs. Ray reached
over in 'meeting to shake hands, with Hul
dab looking down from the singers' soot in
her pretty straw bonnet trimmed with pink
ribbons, Patience met the overture 'rather
coldly; still she was obliged to confess that
the sweetest voice which arose above Dea
con Spicer's wheezy bass viol was Huldah
Rey's.
Once when Patience was sick with Olen
oniatisra and Huldah came to offer her serv
ices, bringing a loaf of, her mother's snow
white bread done up in the cleanest of tow
els, She had turned her face to the wall and
spoken but a few words in rather. repellant
tones. Then if any one had peeped under
the brim of the little brown hat as she , went
off-the stoop they would have seen .a ,dim
iseSs about Huldah's. , lashes. There Were
things which the neighbors suspected,
they did not know for certain; and there
were things which Deacon- Spicer, being
postmaster, thought he knew, for he peered
at every letter that came in the lean mail
bag from Highlands.
Patience was blind, but her blindness had
both pathos and dignity. Such a straight,
tall, large-eyed woman could not be easily
approached by the gossips, so they let, her
alone with the music of the pine trees sigh
ing around her lonely house, thinking of
her boy, getting him,closer to her intense,
strong heart, skipping at the interval, and
living in the time of his return when they
should grow each to the other as the acorn
grows to its cup. - •
It was a leafy, blosimity day in May when
the lilacs were out and the snow balls Were'
beginning tolleach, and birds trilled in the
boughs, and the sky softened over the Young
woods. The gteat 'parti-colored balls of
carpet work lay at'Patience's feet, and the
Bible, with its worn leather hovers, open at
the family 'record . and •dato of her boy's
birth, was placed on the stand by her side.
With his dry, peculiar ahem! and the shuf
fle and stumble by which he was wont to
mount the steps, Deacon Spicer got upon
the stoop and pushed at the half-open door.
He was a shambling old -man,. dressed in a
buggy suit of butternut brown that seemed
to have been cut quite by accident, .
" Good.day, widder, good-dpy." There
was a half-tremble in the old man's voice
that made Patience involuntarily . ask him,
"What is it?" as the work dropped from
her hands.
"Now don't," said the old man, in acoax
,ing tone, es be reached out and almost
touched her gray hair;' " good news .never
killed anybody, as I've heard tell of,, and.l
guess you can stand , flu. fumbled in
his capacious
. pockets in an aimless sort of
,way. but every heart.-beat seemed a century ,
to Patience.
" You see there wasa scrimmage t'Other
day, and Alvin run right into the muss, just
like such a hare-brained ryeung feller; he
must have tit with all his might and main.
You see the cap's be has went home, and
Alvin has' got promoted for gallantry; and
the boy, you see—bless my soul, it beats all
what I've - done with that letter—the boy got,
•ti scratch on his arm, and they've give hint
a discharge, and I shouldn't a mite wonder
xxxv-snal-1."•....-.1.,.. •
. Patience turned upon him trembling and
pale tO thelips.
" You are not deceiving me," she gasped;
" my boy has not been—shot?"
- "Deceiving of you, widderi- Why, no,"
responded the man in extreme astonish
ment; " (rye 'spose I'd 'have the face to
show myself here! Anything unfortunate
that way would stick in my throat and
choke me to death. I tell you he's on his
way home, and in a fortnight will be as
hearty as ever he was in his life."
—Atlantic Monthly
IL was indeed true; and Patience put her
hands before her face, as if the bliss com
ing so suddenly was almost too much to
bear. The old man wandered on: "I mis
trust there's somebody else over the hill
yonder who'll be glad to 'get the news."
- But Patience scarcely heard him when lie
took his leave. She sat there in the red
,light of sunset, with tremulous shadows
spotting the coarse plaster wall, her bosom
heaving, her eyes dilating, and a young,
glad look growing' in her face. She was
dreaming of the time when Alvin was a
baby; how he played around her chair, and
plucked at her gown, breaking out into
;bursts of infantile glee. And now be was
Coming home a tall young soldier, and would
hneel Own at her feet and put his head in
er lap as he had done a hundred times.—
She "could almost feel her fingers' in his
orisp, curly locks, touching his foYehead,
and caressing his cheek. And she sat there
in a blissful dream until it grow dark, quite
forgetting, she had -gone without her supper.
. 1 1bat night_ Patience scarcely slept at all
for joy. She was up betimes in the pale
dawn to busy herself getting ready for the
home-coming of Alvin. She swept, and
dusted the old house. She could almost el
thit grass grow where the motherly bunches
of purple lilacs pushed into Alvin's little
room window. Everything had been kept
sacredly just as be left it.—the fishing tackle
on the wall, the few books on their swing
shelf, the emptysquirrel cage on its nail,
and oven an old, tattered straw hat hanging
beside it. There was cookery to busy Pa
tience's hands; she remeinbered all her boy's
likings—the seed cookies and favorite pies.
But ashen these were dispatched a great
margin of time remained, and Patience was
too unquiet with happiness to sit down to
any work in the house. She went out into
the pine grove where the tassels on the old
trees all wore a fresh, new green; the bons
lonia and wild columbine were blowing at
her feet; and she could not help lifting up
her voice in a deep, glad chant: " The Lord
has been my dwelling place in all genera.
tions." • f
The path led a quarter of. a Mile beyond
the grove through, leafy copses, where the
dogwood htul pitched its suolwy tent, here
and there on a hanging bank above the
highway. Patience wandered on until she
gained a lookout, through the boughs, down
the road that wound under elms and ma
ples. It was a pretty spot, full of tremu
lous green light from the young leaves and
musical with the Ong of birds. *There Pa
tience sat on the moss waiting, she could
not, tell how long, such sweet fantasies filled
her brain and spun themselves before her
eyes.
At. length there Caine a faint murmur of -
voices, and with 'her heart, fluttering site
parted-the branches and peered out. 'Two
persons were coining slowly along the path,
through spotted shadows and sun-gleams„
wholly ahsurbed in each ot her. - The young
man was tall, with a tanned, gaunt face
beaming now with a look that unale it
handsome. He was dressed in the faded
blue of-the army, and carried one arm in .a
sling. His companion, a! .young girl, as
sweet and pure as a rosebud; walked by his
side. She bad taken off herd little brown
hat and was letting it swing by the ribbon
string: - " Her
,great, wondering, f iunocent

fluttered into her cheeks, naturally pale;

silky hair into tiny rings' and curls.- - The

Patience would have moaned,. but she .re
strained herself; she took hold of a sapling
that grew near, and .unconsoiously crush d
a clump of ferns under her hand., Huldah
wits speaking noW: • " I must turn back,
Alvin," said she thiddry, "for tun half
frightened at the thought of unabllng your
mother. I have tried to make her love me
since you went away; but she is always cold.
If I go to see her, she never asks Inc to •
come again. I have a present,ltnent she will
never consent to give me a daughter's'
-dace."
"You are trembling like a little scared
bird," said Alvin, with a light laugh. "Do
you suppose my mother is such a bugbear?
Why, aliels just the dearest woman in i the
world; and she is so fond of me that ;she
will have to love you, Huldab, for my sake.
I shall tell her all about it to-night. I meant
to have told her before I went away, but
you, ttimid little goose, wouldn't let me.—
' aome on up to the old hickory tree there
' by the orchard, and I will let you go back."
They moved past, and Patience could
moan now. She sat there among the brakes
on the hillside with her face heat down to
i t
her knees. In the long, lonely days' he had
thought of only one kind of loss-th, could
come to her through her boy; for a oment
she felt that it would have been e sier. to
bear if he had been brought home fe t fore
most Into the old red farmhOuse. He would
have been a blessed memory then, and all
her own. There are momenta when it seems
less heart-rending to give our beloved up in
death than in life. Patience arose to her
feet instantly,- and as she did so the baser
part of her selfhood dropped off. She felt
her way down the bank by the tree trunks .
and bushes, and a new world of reflection
was opened to her mind. For the first time
it struck her as right and natural that Alvin
should have this beautiful experience.—
There had been no great blossoming time
in her life; she had married late, with re
spect and liking, but all the passion and ro
mance of her being had come through moth
erhood. ' She was now old; she had not
thought<of the intoxicating draught given
young souls to drink, nor of the bliss which
narrows the world over again to a single
pair, and makes a new Eden of clasped
hands and meeting eyes.
'Patience felt humble, almost remorseful,
as she walked under . the blossomed trees,
wavering and tottering a little. She had
grown old in a moment; her senses, always
remarkably acute, seemed dull. The thought
that she Should not last a great while longer
came to her with a sense of relief. Why
should she live now that her' boy had no
more need of her! Is it not written that a
man shall leave father and mother and
cleave unto his wife? 1
An hour rna,y have passed, for Patience
sat down to 'rest once or twice. As she
slowly approached the house the lovers still
lingered in the shade of the old hickory.—
Alvin heard a step behind him, and turning
arnund saw his mother standing there.—
Something like a blush of shame reddened
his,cheek for the selfish indulgence in hap
piness which had caused him to loiter so
long on the road to a sacred duty. But Pa
tience only clasped him about the neck—
sobs Would not let her speak. lluidah turned
in confusion, and was walking away; but
in a moment Patience called to her.
" Come here, my child; I know that•you
and Alvin love each other, and I want to
give you a mother's blessing. You shall
have as vai•ni a place in my heart as my boy
has. I thank God for two good children
instead of one."
Huldah hid her bashful face, but Alvi?
was beaming with delight.
" There," cried ho, " what did I tell you?
Why, mother, she was actually afraid that
you would never give your consent. But
told her you wopld love anybody I loved;

ed in a half-whisper.
Patience smiledfaintly, but a sort of gid
diness seized her limbs. Ho ?lover would
know What that sweet consenphad cost.—
There lies the pathos of many' a sacrifice.
" Why, mother, what ails Lyott?" Alvin
asked iu alarm.
"0, nothing," she answered, "only I am
getting old."
"Nonsense," exclaimed Alvin; "you are
worth more than half the young women in
the country; you have been overdoing, and
now you must rest and be taken care of."
He put his arm around her, and she drew
Huldali's hand throUgh her own on the other
side. Thus they walked over the grass
sprinkled with white clover. Alvin was in
high spirits—so glad to be back, with mum'
to tell of 'himself; Huldah was so quietly,
supremely happy she could not speak a
word; but Patience felt that if she could
have faded out from between them they
would scarcely have missed her.
The house was just as she left it; but as
she opened the door and heard the Blow
ticking of the Clock it seemed as though
years, not hours, had passed since she went'
out so elate and glad. She sat down in her
chair not the woman she had been. Hoer
•heart beat slower; her hair appeared to have
turned from gray to white in a single ,es e•
Settee. She had passed the dividing ridge
of life,
and was going down on the shady
side. She stayed her head with her hand,
and whispered to herself, "Not my will but
Thine.":—Golden Age.
The Newspaper of To-day.
There lies upon our nk at this moment
a huge volume at whichany one might be
excised fOr staring with a sort of. wender.'
It bears on its back this title: "American
Newspaper Directory." It is simply an
enormous catalogue of all the newspapers
and periodicals, in all languages, published
in the United States and Territories, in the
Dominion "of Canada, and in the El.ritish
Colonies of North America. It is an accu
mulation and array, of names, dates, com
mercial items,
historical and biographical
facts, all illustrative of the wealth, the en
terprise, the force, and the vastness of Amer
ican journalism.. The distribution of this
book among the newspapers of .the conti
nent may indeed awaken the. cacklings of
professional vanity. It ought, however, to
give every journitlist a solemn sense of the
majesty of the profession to which- he be
longs and, a purer consecration to the best
possibilities of so high a service.
This Directory is an annual publication,
and coustitutes a 'periodical .report of the
progress of newspaper enterprise in this
poitiou .of world. The ediLe'r of the
book is able' to take a very cheerful view of
the' present condition 91 our journalism,
which, in his opinion, "has never been in
so prosperous a einadition
,financially as at
this time. A considerable number of our
journals have large and handsome
newspaper establishments within- the past
year, and a large number of others have
been projected, while many of the smaller
but equally persevering journals have been
placed Upon a stronger basis than hitherto,
and arc in other respects improved. It has
be, observed that our journalism has taken
ti-higherionc and . whir enterprise. `.l'o

increasing strength there is a controlling

We oftei hearjOurnalism spoken of as tt
profession: The phrase is yet only a,proph
esy. Journalism is not yet a profession,
but it ought to be; and_ it will be. If it
were organized like the professions of the
law and of medicine, with US appropriate
code, its appropriate maxims, aspirations.,
desires,-and antipathies , it might greatly in
crease its purity, dignity, and influence.—
Brains and culture and the power of ex
pression would preserve their rights in the
new Profession against the;bverbearing ways
of capital as successfully as covresponding
eminence does in the two older professions.
Besides, if duly organized, journalism could
protect itself, not only from assaults that are
without, but from the greater harm of dis
graces that are within. , '

wi' an awful sie.ht o' words," showed a
shrewd appreciation of the opium eater iu
declaring he would! Make a grand preacher,
although : "a Mottle o' the folk wadna ken
what he was driVin' at." The old faniily
nurse at &Thorne sucaking.nf.Theureat nat
uralist who bah made the place so dear to
all lovers of 'nature said: • lie was a still,
quiet body; there wasn't a bit o' harm in
hijni there wasn't indeed!" Still bettor and
woro • was% the eulogium passed upon the
" L tdies of Llangollen: " I must say, after
13
all, they was very charitable atld eantaker
oils; they did a good deal of gbod, 'and
never-forgave an injury."
Shakespeare affords us two gnod imam- 1
plea of what may he termed 41cireciatory
panegyric. Benedick, spite of his protest,
pressed by Claudio' to praise his lady-love,
Hero, satisfies his friend and his conscience
with, "'Methinks she is too low for a high
praise, too brown for a fair - praise, and too
little for a treat praise; only this common
dalion I can tidbit] her—that were she other
than she is, she were, unhandsome; and be
ing no other but as dm is, I do not like her."
Delicacy does not stand in the way of Fal
staff speaking his Mind about Poins, and
thus he sums up the meths of the absent
Ned: "He plays at quiots Well; and eats
conget and fennel; and drinks - off candles'
ends for flap-dragons;%and rides the wild
mare with the boys; and jumps upon joint
' stools; and swears with a good grace; and
wears his boots very smooth, like unto the
gn of the leg; and breeds ne bate with
&Ili g of diScreet, stories; and such other
ganlbgl>faculties he bath that •shew a weak
minelnd an able body." The biographer
' of that passimiless creature of science, Hai
-1 ry Cavendish, wiltes of him: "An Intel
lectual head thinking, a pair of wonderful,
' acute eyes obserVing, and a pair of very
skilful hands experimenting or: recording,
are all that I can realise." The epitaph on
the gravestone of Basset, a sexton and pat
ish clerk, describes him as one, " winise
meredy was warbled forth as if he had been
thumped on the back-with a stone." Une
qualled in Severity stands Cato's praW of
Ciestir as the first sober roan who had ever
made it his business to •!ruln his Country.—
But the following lines addressed to a dis
dainful beauty are sufficiently bittor in all'
conscience:
"Your breast is heaped like mountain snows,
Your cheek is like s blushing rto,
Your eyes are black as ripened loos,
Like diamonds do they glitter.
I do not flatter like a fool—
The diamond is a cutting tool,
The rose is thorny. 'snow is cool,
And aloes are very bitter."
This is neatly put, but not. more neatly
than La Bruyerc's criticism of Mbntalgne's
critics. In a couple of sentences he man-'
ages to set forth the etcellenees of the great
essayist and the faults of his detractors:—
"One of them thinks too little to taste au
author who thinks a great deal; and the
other thinks
. 1.90 subtilely to be pleased with
what is natl. - Ital."
. The Vemilians paid down six thousand
gold crowns to Jacapo Sannazaro for half a'
dozen lines glorifying their city, whereof
Evelyn gives this translation:
"Neptune saw Venice oaths Adige stel],
Firm as a rock, and all the sea command.

Or that-proud cliff, whence falsq Tarpoiu fell?

Sarinazaro was well paid4so too was the
poet, who received six humbled crowns from

According to the r &anti monthlY reef of
the Conimissive r of - Agriculture, tufted
from answers to circulars sent out in March,
it appears that there Is no systematic rota
tion of crops in any considerable'portion-of
the United States. =ln the New -Eggliand
States the high price of hay keeris a large
area constantly In grass, and the demand
for gardeu prOdilets renders letatOn Inn
difficult. In saran sections wheat} and to
bacco have been raised for, twenty yeah; sun
cessively on the same land, which, tiowstrar,
is highly fertilized every year. In M.a
Island field crops of onions are repeated WisWi
five to eight years, or until the smut 'kills
them. In the Middle States systematic ro
tation is pursued to a great extent, s:id W 1&
merited results: In New Jersey crop reta
tio is observed, though large areas of
ma hes are continually:Zapf in. cranberries.
In Pennsylvania only - three iountief ate . re
ported as ignoring rotation'. The nitual'roU
nels corn planted' on sod broken Ira thtt
ap pg and thoroughly manures, to be 'fol
lowed by oata,whicat,nndtwe crops ofensits.
In Maryland rottlfon is general,_ but is slime
districts there is a decided tendency to 'ex
cessive grain and grans amps. ,Virginia, in
one-fourth of its Counties '
observes a regu
lar routine of corn, wheat or oats,. end lo
ver, In the Southern States generally tiTei4
crop is neglected for cotton :fields I hailbnt
been kept - planted with this Vush forAcnnty
or twenty-five years. In the Stateirborder
ing on the Ohio some attention has, been
paid to rotation, though in the allavial big,
.tom corn is sometimes continued for flay
years, and on the upnds wheat Is continued
for twenty years. Rotation is Mile knoWia
west of the Mississippi and in the. Padno
States. The Commissioner, from the
wilan
swers of his correspondents, rows the col/
elusion that home producti t:Thome-00i
sumption ,is a more profits le permanent
I
policy than the opposite theo yt that gteata
profit can be obtained from f edinghay and
grain to stock than from selling theta, and
that home manufactured manure• is more
beneficial than, commercial fertilikers.
