O, do you hoar tho b'nabird,
The herald of the Spring
How cheerily he tffnes his pipe.
How bithclv he bluine3 his win:? ?
He breathes the native no'c of praise,
To the great Source of Good ;
The trees are vocal with his lays,
Instinct with gratitude.
J70 mounts upon bis downy wing,
He cleave the ambient air,
Inhales the balmy breath of spring,
i And wakes tho world of prayar.
The fertile earth, at Nature's voice,
UnlucLs her prceioui store,
And mount ana vale and plain rejoice,
To "reef, the ireuial boar.
The purlin;' stream, no longer bound
In winter's icy chain,
Rparkles beneath tho sunny ray,
And treely Hows ag.un.
Flows, n3 lifo Cows in infancy,

That annim

Flows on till winter checks its tide,
And robs it of its bloom,
Like death, that in your youthful pride.
Cousigus U3 to the tomb. 1
Yet man, for whom these notes are sung,
Cor whom these waters flow.
For whom this vernal wealth abounds,
The monarch here below !
Man, on man ! with lofty brow,
With stubborn heart and knee,
Looks oe'r this m Tiling universo,
Ungrateful, Lord, to tho.
The. perils of (lie winter past,
Pprinc;, like a blooming bride,
The summers and the autumns hope,
Ailruiignily his prida 1
Thcre--thero be stands a rebel still,
A recreant ot that Power
That murmurs in each iimpil rill,
Aud breathes in every flower. "

Of all nri'.irement s for the mind,
From loie iUiwm to fishing,
There is'nt one taat you can find

I wish a common wish, iniiecd

That I might clear tho child of nesJ,
And noi my pride la fiat tor .
That I might make oppression rod
As only pMd can inako it.
And lui'iik iho tyrant's rod of steel
As only gold can break it.
I wish that sympathy and love,
And every human passion
That has in origin above.
Would coinu and keep in fashion ;
That scorn, and jealously, and hato,
Atidevuvy linso emotion,
Were buried fathoms de:p,
Deiicat'a tho waves of ucean !
I wish (lint friends were always true,
And motives always pure ;
I wih the good were not so few
I wish the had were ftwei ;
I wish that, parsons ne'er forgot
To heed their pious teaching ;
I wish llial practicing was nut
So ditrernit frjin preaching.
I wish ilmt modest worth might bi
Appraised with truth and cau dor ;

I wish that men their vows would mind,

I wish that wives were always kind,
Ami husbauds always lovers.

And every good ideal.

To be thelorioe.s real ;

BROTHER TOM'S WIFE.
BY T. 8. ARTHUR.
"If you marry that girl brother Tom. 1
"11 bnve nothing to do with her, I
on't visit her, nor call her sister, nor
peak to her !"
And Lizzie Dawton put on ns outra
ged and indignant an air as it was pos
ible for bur to assume.
"What's tho objection ?" naked Tom
n bis cjoI way, fi:;inn; his larje calm
yes upou the pretty face of his sister,
s she sat uneasily swaying half around
.nd back again on tin plana stool.
"Objection !" Tho youn? lady's
berry lip curled. "Who is she? Vv'Lat
s she r
"A pweet-tenipcrcd, trus hearted
.omig woman, who will make me n good
ittle wife. Are you not auawored, sis
ter of mine ?''
"A sewing girl 1" said Lizzie, con.
temptnously.
"What our mother was, as I have bc":n
told, before her murrage," answered
brother Tom. "And. if my eyes have
not deceived rue, she has been a setting
woman sinne. my recollection of her." "
''That's anotlier thing." said tin sis
ter. 'Mother was superior to her class
ind has risen above it."
''Suppose I answer your objections to
Harriot, and sy tint she is superior to
her class, i nd will riso above it. ? What
then? My father made a good matri
monial venture, and I may do tho
same."
'Put why, brother Tom," urged the
sister, "don't you choose a wilo from
amonc: tboe on your own level V
"v hat do you mean by those on your
. , n ( . , , , J ,
own level ? Let us understand each
other."
' From among those who move in our
own circ'o. From the educated, refined
and accomplished. "
"Such us the Misses Waltous, for in
stance." "Yes, or the Misses Edcns."
"W hose father supports them in idle
ness, nnd expo it tho joung men who
marry them to do the same. N w Liz
zie, the fact of the business is, I like
Mary Eden very well, mi l oneo cime.-o
near tolling in love with bet. that was
really f lightened. I did not go near
her pretty face again for sis months af. I
ter I felt the first niuvcmeut of the ton- j
der pas-ion." j
"Dear Mary! O, Torn! why cot
marry her? I ceuld love her as my own
sister."
"Can't afford it, pretty. I'm but a
poor young man, and bavo only my tii.
cuts nnd indusdry 10 help ire forward in
the world. Mary cant't. do anything
herself, and would expect tno to put her
in an establishment but little less costly
than the unc her father owns,"
"Oil, but, Tom there'll bo no necessity
fr going to housekeeping at first, And
then, yon know, her father is well off in
the world, nnd he'll give her a bouse,
and luriiish it, no doubt, when she is
married."
But Tom shook bis bead.
"Mary Eden's father m ay or may not
be rio'i," he replied. "My own private.
opinion is, that be is living up to. if not
a little beyond lus income. And as to
the house and furuiture which Mary's
husband is going to get, that is some-
thing very fine to feed a fancy upon,
The real bricks aud mortar is another
affair."
"Oh. but Mr. Eden's rich Tom."
"The rich men of to day are our poor
men of to.moirow, Lizzie. I wouldn't
give the snap of a finger f jr a rich fath-
cr in-law as a dependence. I mean to
trust in myself, au honest purposo and
a clear conscience. Aud as for a wife,
I want a woman with life, purpose, in-
dustry and independence in her, not a
great bundle of silk, laecs, bonnets and
curl papers, with a pretty lirtle helpless
d nottiing doll, bidden somewhere in.
side of tho criii.iline circumvolution.
And then, again, Lizzie, I am something
of an independent young man, wonder,
fully given to tho work of takiug c no
of myself. 1 happen to bo at tho bottom
oi tin lauier, and it I ever get to the'
tep my own strongta will carry mo
there. Now, a wife on my back, instead
of one of tho rounds ol'a ladder, keep,
ingstep with me upwards, would bo a'
dead weight, and keep ma at or near
tliof'iot forever. No, no, pretty, I can-
not afford ouu of your finished boarding-
school misses for a wife the luxury is
too expeii-ive for me. Sol am going
to marry a girl who kuow.s something of
real life a true, good patient enduring,
self.denying, sweet darling little body,
who is not ashamed to earn her living
with tho needle. And I can tell vou
what, Dolly, I only wish you wero iiko
Harriet Pirker; there would bo forty
chances iu favor of your marrying a
ui iu of sense to those you bavo now.
Don't you know that a new society h is
been formed among young men, and
ihatacew society has been for-unj
imong juns men, and that some of tha
very best "catches" among them havo
jigned a pledge not to marry any girl
who ia not willing to commence matri-
nonial life with two rooms and kitobeo,
NO SI
and who doesn't knew bow to Lake,
cook nnd sew, and to wash and iron into
the bargain ? I nru the President."
''Preposterous !'' exclaimed Lizzie.
"You'll cry sme other word when
you get on tho old maids' list, and see
your place filled in tho home of some
man that is n man lv a woman nho was
not ashamed of ueful employment when
she was a girl. I can tell you what, my
dainty litilo sister, there's a rcfoim ut
woik, and men worth having are begin
ning to choovj between no marriapo or
marriag.T with girls of plainer notion'!
and more useful accomplishments than

now, as in all probability you undo1.-,
stand that I am in earnest about mar.
Tying Haniet Parker. I hope you will
reconsider your hasty roHolutior,3
about not spanking to your s:sfe ia law.
'The loss, let mo tell you, will till be on
your own side."
Brother Tom understood bis own po
sition cntiroly. He was not a man to
stoop below bims'-lf in marrying. He
'could not unite himself wiih one win

something that insensibly won the love,
commanded t lie respect and almost ex
torted the admiration of all who were so
fortunate as to make her acquaintance.
"Marriage, thev say. make or mars

once saying, in an undertone to a lady
friend. "But it wid not mar the for
tune of brother Tom. Ht's got just the
wife to help liltn long in the world ;
and on-i tint will grace any posicion to
