11he shdows of night are meeping
Noft over the brightaens of day;
The lowerM of the wildwoe are wee piag
Farewell to the sun's parting may.
My vspirit i andering to thew, loe
In viesons ml gloriously bright; 1
Then whisper a blindag to me, loe
A bleaming, a his and good-night
In Heaven the pare stars ae malli.
Like angels' eye, watching me here;
And mask, the lone eat beguiling, p
Stms gently and low ona my ear.
My spirit is smiling on thee, love-
And murmaruna on mf deligt;
Then whisper a bherdag for a, love
A tbh'i ski w am l edaht
Teer usem sin sease t se bliang,
Bs dear through the tleveing anr,
And angels their pinions are bending
To catch the4ow breathing of prayer.
My spirit is praying for thee, love.
Heaven lothe all thy pathway i light;
TI e whisper a blessing to me, love-
A blessing, a kis and good-night

A HINT TO lHUSANOS.
Isn't it strange that some men,
who will be kind and obliging to
their neighbors, gentlemanly and S
polite to otherladies, will be so rde ti
and cold and harsh at home, and g
perfect bears to their wives--erwab ti
bed, snappish, ungenerous and al- E
together unsocial and hateful? r
Does anybody know of any such h
men? Not that I wish to lay all h
the blame on man-kind, or con- b
demn theni eri naw not at all ti
There are plenty of good, noble a
men, but not quite enough. When I
they are so strong, and have so u
much power to do good, and win e
love, and bless their homes, why ti
dont they all do it? s
"Circumstances alter eases." 0
Some men's wives are trying ensgh e
to wear out the patience of Job: a
but then, in the- perversity of things 11
you wdil generally find a real bear n
of a man united to a frail, patient "
frbearing and forgiving wife. She P
is your wife, Mr. Bear, and the P
mother of your children, and pro
bably dependent on yon for a home '1
andu means, and ean't get away from p
you; so of course, she is in your a
power, and you can treat her just c
as you ehoose. But if you expect i:
her heart to bound with pleasure i
when she hears your footsteps, or a
to proffer you caresses, or torejoice m
in your presence, you are much mis- t
taken. She is human-neither more t
nor less. Please reverse your situ-I
ations and conditions. How much 1
r and how long would you bear such c
l treatment as you give her? You s
will inevitably be measured and s
weighed for just what you are, and
there is no help for it.--N. Y. dInider.
--Can a man who worships mon
ey be called a ftich-ualist ?
A Dorcs.ts, in describing a pair
of horses he had lost said: "De)
Swas very much alike, specially the
off one. One lookt so mooch like
l- > tth I could not tell t'oder from
which; when I went after one, I al
ways caught de oder; and I whip
- ped the one most dead because de
oder kicked at me."
A , A PocLa writer saygs: "It is ab
s curd to spend one's life in hoarding I
Sup a millions of wealth, which the
f possessor can never enjoy, as it I
would be to olleet and lay upin a
- storem-ouse 0,000 mahogoay chairs
which were never intended to be
used for the furniture of apart
ment., or 80,000 pairs of trowuers
which were never intended to be

SDAmTU says he would not mind
Sliing sa a bachelor, but when be
somes to think that bachelors must
I die-that they have to go down to
jthe grave "without any body to cry
for them"--it gives him a shill that
