MY TRIUMPH. BY l. U. WHITTIER. The autumn-time has come; On woods that dream of bloom, AttdOver purpling vines, The low sun fainter shines. The aster-flower is failing, The hazel’s gold is paling; Yet overhead more uear The eternal stars appear! And present gratitude Insures the future’s good, „ And for the things I see I trust the things to be; That in the paths untrod, And the long days of God, My feet shall still be led, My heart be comforted. 0 living friends who love me ! 0 dear ones gone above me I Careless of other fame, I leave you to my name. Hide it from idle praises, Save it from evil phrases; Why, when dear lips that spake it Are dumb, should strangers wake it? Let the thick curtain fall; I better know than all How little I have gained, How vast the unattained. \ Not lay the page word-painted Let life be banned or sainted: Deeper than written scroll The colors of the sonl. -Sweeter that any song, My songs that found no tongue; Nobler than any fact My wish that failed of act. Others shall sing the song, Others shall right the wrong,— Finish what I begin, And all 1 fail to win. What matter, I or they? Mine or another’s day, So the right word be said And life the sweeter made ? Hail to the coming singers t Hail to the brave light-bringers 1 Forward I reach and share All that they sing and dare. The airs of heaven blow o’er me A glory shines before me Of what mankind shall oe, — Pure, generous, brave and free. A dream of man and woman Diviner but still human Solving the riddle old, Shaping the Age of Gold. The love of God and neighbor, An equal-handed labor; The richer lite, where beauty Walks hand in hand with duly. Ring, bells in unreared steeples, The joy of unborn peoples, Sound, trumpets far off blown, Your triumph is my own. Parcel and part of all, I keep.the festival, Fore -reach the good to be, And share the victory. I feel the earth move sunward, I join the great march onward, And take, by faith, while living,] My freehold of thanksgiving. Wte* and % An Irish trick—Pa-trick. A large party —All of us.

So do Amerioans. “Sleepy Eye” is the name of a Western railway station. New book—“ The Stray Wig,” by the au thor of “The Wandering Heir.” The difference between a cloud and a beat child is, one pours with rain, and the other roars with pain. A recent bride received amongst her weddiog gifts a receipted bill of eight dol lars for gate hinges from her father. “That’s my impression,” is what the printer said when he kissed his sweet heart. One of our exchanges alludes to a cotetn porarie’s goose quill “oackling notes of warning. No chain is stronger than its weakest link. No word is stronger than a wink. “Is your house a warm one, landlord ?” asked a gentleman who wished to rent a house. “It ought to be,” was the reply of the owner; “the painters have just given it two Qoats.” Florida girls use none but religious papers for their Sunday bustler. “One flesh was made two,” is anew way to announce a divorce. Castlen in the (h)air —Chignons. “Unless you give me aid,” said a beggar to a benevolent lady, “I’m afraid I shall have to resort to something whioh I greatly dislike to do.” , The lady handed him a dollar and com passionately asked— “ What is it, poor man, that I have saved you from ?” “Work,” was the mournful answer. A child, while walking through an art gallery #ith her mother, was attracted by a statue, of Minerva i “What is that ?” said she. “That is Minerva, the Goddess of Wis -4om s .” *Why didn’t they make her husband, too?” . “Because she had none, my child,” said the mother. “That was because she was wise, was it not, mama?” artlessly questioned the little ,child. “How one thing brings up another, said a lady, absorbed in a pleasing retrospec tion. “Yes,” replied a gentleman; “an emetic for instance.” WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH OUR DA UGBTERS? Apropos of Mrs. Livermore’s lecture on the above important question, the Dav euport Democrat thus sensibly makes an swer: Teach them self-reliance. Teach them to make bread. Teach them to make shirts. Teach them to foot up Btore bills. Teach them not to wear false hair. Teach them not to paint and powder. Teach them to wear thick, warm shoes. Teach them how to wash and iron clothes. Bring them up in the way they should go. Teach them how to make their own dress es. Teach them to do marketing for the fam ily. Teach them how to cook a good meal of victuals. Teach them that a dollar is only one hun dred cents. Teach them every day, hard, practical common sense. Teach them how to darn stockings and sew on buttons. Give them a gcod, substantial, common school education. Teach them to say no, and mean it; or yes, and stick to it. Teach them to wear calico dresses—and do it like a queen. Teach them to regard the morals, and not the money of the beaux. Teach them all the mysteries of the kitch en, the dining-room and parlor. Teach them that a good, round, rosy romp is worth fifty delicate consumptives. Teach them to have nothing to do with intemperate and dissolute young men. Teach them that tbo more one lives within their income the more they will save. Teach them the further one lives beyond their income the nearer they get to the poor house. Rely upon it, that upon your teaching de pends in a great measure the weal or woe of their after life. Teach them accomplishments—music, painting, drawing—if you have the time and money to do it with. Teach them to climb apple trees, go fish ing, cultivate a garden and drive a team or farm wagon. Teach them to treat with respect poor as well as rich young men if they deserve their notice. Teach them that God made them in His own image, and that no amount of tight lacing will improve the model. Teach them that a good steady, honest, greasy mechanic without a cent, is worth a dozen or two ot dissipated loafers in broad cloth. Teach them the essentials of life—truth, honesty, uprightness—then at a suitable time let them marry. THE DIFFICULT? WITH THAT HOESE. We had a good deal of trouble with our horse last summer. He was a bob-tailed horse, and it seemed to annoy him so much that he couldn’t reach the flies which fat tened on his ribs, that it occurred to us to fix h : m up a kind of an artificial tail to re lieve the situation, as it were. So we pro cured three feet of half-inch rope, unraveled about eighteen inches of it, and spliced the other end to the horse’s tail. This would have enabled him to switch a fly off his nose as soon as he had acquired a little practice. But our Irishman, seeing the rope, and not understanding our motive precisely, concluded that we Were trying experiments with some new kind of hitch ing strap to be used in the rear, and so he tied the horse to the stall that night by his artificial continuation. By morning the feed-box was kicked to kindling wood, and the home was standing on throe legs, with the other leg caught in the hay rack, while he chewed up four of the best boards in the side of the stable in front of him. Then we got him up another rope tail, and explained the theory to our man. But the tail bothered the hostler so much while currying the horse that he tied half a brick to it to hold it still. The consequence V~ J f ' ... - • wyMtirffa PKI Has been before the American public OVER THIRTY years. It has never yet failed to give perfect satisfaction, and has justly been styled the panacea- for all ex ternal Wounds, Cuts, Bums, Swellings, Sprains, Braises, &c., Ac., for Man and Beast. No family should be a single day was that the horse, in a moment of excite ment, jerked the brick around and mashed in the Irishman's nose, and he sued us, and we spent two hundred dollars trying to set tle the case. Then we bought a bunch of horse hair, and spliced that on very neatly. When our new man came he began to curry that tail, and it came off in his hand. He thought it indicated a diseased condition of the horse, and gave him a huge dose of some kind of patent powder to improve the animal’s health, and in half an hour the horse had convulsions, during which he kicked down the stable door, battered the stall into splinters, hammered four more boards ont of the partition, dislocated his off hind leg, and died in frightful agODy. Now we have a horse with a long tail, and when we see a peddler coming with horse medicine we send a dog out to interview him, and bombard him from the front win dow with a shot-gun. Obituary of a Western Editor.— Yt editor sat in his rickety chfeir, as worri ed as worried could be, for yo devil was grinningat him there, and “copy I” ye devil said he. Oh, ye editor, grabbed his big quill pen, and it sputtered ink so free, that his manu script looked like a war map, wheu—“take this,” to the devil said he. Hu scribbled and scratched through the live-long day, no rest or refreshment bad her for the devil kept constantly com ing that way, and howling for more “cop ee.” Day after day he scissored and wrote, a saying the whole countree; while ye devil kept piping his single note, “A little more outside cop-ee!” And when ye boys in ye news-room hear the sound of unequal fray, the voice of a blow and a blasphemous word, “He’s raisin’ the devil!” say they. And oft wheD a man with a grievance came in, ye editor man to see, “Yo proof shall be shown by my personal clerk; you must go to the devil,” said he. And thus he was destined through all of his life, by this spirit tormented to be; in hunger aßd poverty, sorrow and strife, al ways close to ye devil was he. Ye editor died * * * But ye devil lived on 1 And the force of life’s habits we see, for ye editor’s breath no sooner was gone, than straight to the devil went he, A farmer’s daughter out west received a hairy poodle dog from a friend in New ,York.

Woofl s HooseMi lapis U/ Is an original, first-class, Dollar Monthly. It i* M O fresh anil sprightly, and will interest the entire household, including lovers and maidens, hus- ot O bands and wives, parents and children. It sug- fr tests the importance of securing a union of ot n hearts and purposes in life, before there shall ot 90 be a union of hands. It believes that, while it A S 1® woman’s privilege to purify and comfort and adorn, it should be man’s pleasure to provide * tl for, cherish, and protect. It would have chil- Q Odren treated as feeling, thlnkiDg and growing 55 creatures—perfectly created,but not full grown. V M Yet in advocating these doctrines, the Maga- |J J; zlne does not employ doctrinal sermons—long JJ Sand dreary disquisitions which do not interest O Eand therefore do not profit the reader. On the Q contrary, it would rather preach as though it J, H preached not—an interesting story .for instance, E being made to serve the purpose of a long dis- a.
