Dear county life of child aud man I
For both, the best and strongest,
That with the earliest race began,
And has outlived the longest;
Their cities perish long ago ;
Who the first farmers were wc know.
Perhaps our Babels too will fall,
If so, no lamentations,
For Mother Earth will shelter all,
And feed the unborn nations'.
Yes, and the swords that menace now,
Will then be beaten to the plough.
BY MARGARET J. PRESTON.
Past the clash and clang ci battle;
Past the terrors, trials, fears—
Past the deadly rain and rattle,
Yet ye meet in tears.
Not a shout of exultation
Breaks the sobbing silence deep,
On the death-day ot a nation.
Is it strange we weep?
But the homage sad we render,
Sottens with a proud relief,
And a solemn joy and tender
Mingles with our grief.
Oh, the heroes wrested from ns
Have not lived and died in vain,
For their memories’ bow of promise
Spans our years ot pain.
Countless eyes have conned their story-*
Countless hearts grow brave thereby.
Let us thank the God ot Glory
We had such to die.
Where had been the Church's honor,
When the overwhelming flood
Of her foes rushed fierce upon her.
But for martyr's blood ?
Where the lofty accumulations ,
O’er the wrench of thraldom's Chain ?
Where .the granduer of the nation.
But for Patriots slain ?
Shall we then, in sad procession—
Heads low bowed upon the breast—
Only bring our tears to freshen
Graves where heroes rest}
Rather lay the rose and laurel,
Glad with dew, above the sod—
Learn their lives' majestic moral,
Wilt and trust in God.

The Right of Some Women.
The Lion in the Desert.
A Bedouin chief named Hassan
Mourad was on one occasion proceed
ing to rejoin the tribe, from an excur
sion to a distant place. He was ac
companied by his wife and two chil
dren. He himself was mounted on a
splendid Arab steed, given him in re
turn for some signal service during a
journey of great peril. His wife was
mounted upon a camel. One child
reposed in her arms; the elder one
rode behind her, clinging to the huge
saddle to whose bows hung the large
_ cookingjtnd^drinking vessels that were
gratory movements. The Bedouin
divided his praises between the spirit
of his horse, the docility and sagacity
of his camel, and the beauty of his
wife, who belonged to a tribe superior
to his own.
The little family continued its way
for some time without encountering
any danger. They were fortunate in
obtaining supplies ol water; and un
like the generality of the Bedouins
(who, strange to say, never profit by
experience), they did not content
themselves with a scanty supply of
water at each oasis, but filled their
skins and vessels to the very mouth.—
It was on the afternoon of the sixth
day of their journey that they merged
from a broad unvaried plain of burn
ing sand, upon a hilly district—the
mptiBids aqd acclivities here and there
covered with stunted shrubs and a few
bushes of tamarisk- Presently
descried a little hillock which
to afford an inviting shade, and a con
venient refuge for their evening’s re
past. The children were fatigued;
and it was accordingly determined to
rest there for an hour.
Towards the mound they according
ly adranced. But suddenly the gal
lant steed, of purest Godolpliin breed,
reared in affright, and neighed in a
manner that instantly struck terror to
the little family. Slmost at the same
moment the camel emitted a peculiar
sound of distress and agony, and fell
upon her knees. The mother and her
two children were thrown off by this
unexpected movement and abrupt
stoppage. The Bedouin grasped his
rifle—also a present from the traveler
above alluded to,—and at that in
stant a terrible rour thundered ovefc
the desert, raising the echoes of every
hillock and mound within an exten
sive circuit. Only a few feet in ad
vance of the little party,—and in a
spacious cavern beneath the very hil
lock whose shade was to have protect
ed them during their meal,—an enor
mous lion was preparing to spring
upon his prey.
A terrible scream came from the
lips of the affrighted mother; and the
children dung to her in breathless
alarm. The Bedouin did not, how
ever, lose his ’ presence *4 mind.—
Scarcely had he unslung bis
when thp tremendous animal bounded
through the air, and fell upon the
camel’* back. Iu an instant—imd be
fore the report of the rifle* was heard—
the sand was dyed with blood—the
teeth of the lion were buried in the
poor animal’s flesh—-and a piteous
wail, almost resembling that of a hu-
S?
acnesnin^ over sev-
In “ Horae and Society” Scribner’s
Monthly, for June, makes a strong
point in the right direction for Wo
men’s Rights of the right kind, by say
ing : We have in mind two among the
most agreeable women we have ever
met, both in manners and genera] cul
tivation, who are fitted personally to
adorn any drawing room, and who can
converge intelligently on any subject
which may be broached there, but who
are not in general society, in the town
where they live, simply because one of
them is u dressmaker and the other a
milliner. Both devote their evenings
to reading and study; they travel, they
hear the best music, and are familiar
with the best thoughts of the day ; aud
to the few who are really acquainted
with them they are valued friends.—
But they are not often invited—be
cause nobody thinks of it. Can socie
ty afford to do without such women as
these? And their case is not e*eep- man being, cime from the throat of
tional. It is true that there are scores
of young girls in our shops whose
breeding and whole appearance are
very questionable, and who could.r\ot
eh hours in summer, or eight in win
ter ; the attempt to force more on the
system by t nap in the day-time, or a
“ second nap” in the morning readers
the whole of the sleep disturbed and
imperfect.
5. Some of the most painful “ stom-
m r!S£ y? 5 - ( ^ ca9ionodb y indigeg-
distention. It is often speedily reme
died by kneading the abdomen with
the ball of the hand, skin to skin,
from one side to another, from the
lower edge of the ribs downwards,
because the accumulated air is forced
on and outwards along the alimentary
cauul.
6. When you return to your house
from a long walk or warm rooni, do
not remove a single article of clothing
until you have taken a cup or more of
some kind of warm drink.
7. In going into a colder atmos
phere keep the mouth dosed, and walk
with sufficient rapidity to keep off a
childliuess.
8. Two pairs of thiu stockings will
keep the feet warmer than one pair of
a greater thickness than both.
9. The “ night-sweat” of disease
comes on toward daylight; their death-
ey ly clamminess and coldness is greatly
modified by sleeping in a single loose,
long woolen shirt.
10. The man or woman who drinks
a cup of tea or coffee, or other stiniu-
laut in order to aid in the better per
formance of any work or duty, public
or private, is a fool, because it is to
the body and brain an expenditure of
what is not yet got—it is using power
in advance, and this can never be
done, even once, with impunity.
11. The less a man drinks of any
thing in hot weather the better, for
the mure we drink the more, we want
to drink, until even ice-water palls and
becomes of a metalic taste; hence, the
longer you can put off drinking cold
water on the morning of a hot day, the
better you will feel at night.
12. Drinking largely at meals, even
of cold water or simply teas, is a mere
habit, and is always hurtful. No one
should drink at gny one meal, more
than a quarter of a pint of any liquid,
even of cold water, for it always re
tards, impairs and interferes with a
healthful digestion.
13. If you sleep at all in the day
time, it will interfere with the sound
ness of your sleep at night, much less,
if the nap be taken in the afternoon.
14. A short nap in the day-time
may be necessary to some. I jet it uot
exceed ten minutes; to this end sleep

Ninth. The doctrine of Great
Britain and other European powers
concerning allegiance— “ Once a sub
ject always a subject”—having at last,
through the efforts of the Republican
party, been abandoned, and the Am
erican idea of the individual right to
transfer allegiance having been accept- - . # - 7 ;v
ed by European nations, it is the duty j °PP°sed to it coalition with either wing
of the Radical party, believing as we
pression to their views as to the policy
our party should pursue in the Balti
more Convention.
As I do not know that their pro
ceedings will be furnished for publica
tion, I send you a few extracts from
their Resolutions, which will be suffi
cient to show your readers how our
people stand on the Cincinnati move:
Resolved 2nd. * * * “ That we
instruct our delegates to the Atlanta
Convention to vote for men to attend
the Baltimore Convention, who are in
favor of a straight out Democratic
ticket.”
Resolved 3rd. “ That we are utterly
of our Government to guard with jeal
ous care the right of adopted citizens
against assumption of unauthorized
claims by their former Government,
and we urge continued careful encour
agement and protection of voluntary
immigration.

Twelfth. We hold that Congress

But enough. You find but little
Greeleyism in these resolutions—fully
as much, though I think, as you could
expect from such an old Democratic
county as this.
Should the Baltimore Convention
fail to make a nomination—some of our
best men will vote for Greeley if they
can defeat Grant by doing so—hut 1
am confident that all want a good old-
fashioned Democratic fight-—believing
that is the only plan to preserve the
unity of our party.
Very respectfully,
Democrat.
