Out of the focal and foremost fire—
Out of Ihe hospital walls as dire;
Smitten of grapeshot and grangreen,

Spectre such as yon seldom see—
Little Giffen, of Tennessee !

‘'Much your doctor can help the dead !”
And so we took him and brought him where
1 he balm was sweet on the summer air ;
A^ud we laid him down on a wholesome bed,
Utter Lazarus, heels to head.
Weary war, with bated breath,
Skeleton boy against skeleton death
Months of torture, how m&uy such ;
Weary weeks of stick and ci utcli!
Still a gliutin the steel-blue eye
Spoke of a spirit that wouldn’t die !
And didu t—nay, more! in death's despite,
Ihe li:tie skeleton learned to write!

The Wife’s lament,
lie t hinks I am silly for wanting a kiss
When he leaves me at morning to go to his store;
That the notion is weak in a gay world like this.
And the process to him is a ‘hindering bore.’
So I watch him go humming away down the street,
Auda tear fills my eye, though *As hard toconfes*,
And I cannot but think bow delightful aud sweet
Would the whole day have been with that little
caress.
I go to my work; it seems heavy and long—
When that one little kiss would have made it so
. light;
Ami I try to grow lively by singing a song,
Hut it dies in a sigh for that one Hr tie slight.
I’ll love him, I’ll cling to him unto the end,
And make him as happy as love has the power,
And who kuows but an eye glass some angel will send,
To show how I long for out* lover-like hour.
Kim WARD’S RESOLUTION.
For two years Kitty Ward liad been
earnestly striving to be good. She de
sired, beyond all tilings, to be pure in
heart, true in motive, single in purpose.
But the result did not satisfy her. To
her very great mortification, she was
forced to see that the real obstacle was
self-love. The issue of all this was the
following insertion in her diary; ‘-Re
solved, With the help of Heaven, I will
seek to do good where and in what de
gree I can, without any thought or hope
of reward or return in any way.”
Here a pleasant voice from an adjoining
room called “Kitty love !”
“Yes, deal-mother!'' returned the young
girl.
Here are two invitations for you.—
Come tor them.
Kitty opened one which ran as follows :
“Dear Puss :—Pack up your prettiest
dresses, and bring them, with your sweet
face, over to Woodlawn. I want to bor
row you for a month or two. Bring all
your supply of merry smiles, bright looks,
and winning ways, for the Marceaus, Liv
ingstones and Lees are here. Also, my
dear bas blue, bring all your wisdom, for
Ursa Major is coming on the last of the
month. He cares for nothing earthly but
learning, and never opens his mouth to a
lady save to growl. Perhaps I should ex
plain. By Ursa Major I mean Dr. Ran
dall, the great savant—who, by the way,
is likewise a great parti. I will send the
carriage to the station for you. Good
bye, dearie. Cousin Alice.
The second note, from a good old Qua
ker aunt of her father’s was in a different
strain :
“My Dear Katharine—Will thee come
and stay with thy old aunt for a few
weeks ? I am sorely afflicted with rheu
matism, and quite helpless. I long for
thy bright face and cheerful voice. If
thee will come, thee will be doing a great
kindness to thy affectionate
Aunt Ruth.”
A pretty French woman won 500,000
francs at Baden-Baden from a German
nobleman, and then contributed the en
tire amount to the French debt.
Kitty was thoughtful for some time.
“Mother, what shall I do f” she asked,
anxiously.
^.“What do you wish, my child ?" inquired
Mrs. Ward.
“Do you not think that Cousin Sarah
would go to Aunt Ruth ?” she said, after
a pause.
“Very likely," replied the mother.
“Oh, mother!” exclaimed Kitty eager
ly, “I should like so much to go to Wood-
lawn ! It is so delightful there. The com
pany is always refined, intelligent and en
tertaining. And Dr. Randall is to be there.
He has been abroad for years, engaged in
scientific researches connected with bis
profession. He know T s everything.”
Mrs. Ward saw very well the struggle
which her daughter was undergoing, but
she only said, “Decide for yourself, my
dear,’’ and left her.
Kitty ran up stairs fully determined to
go to "Woodlawn, bnt the first object that
met her gaze was her diary, and—the res
olution.
Then commenced a sharp conflict. The
many and varied delights of Woodlawn
passed before her—the rides, the excur
sions, the boating parties, the fetes of all
kinds—and the elegant refinement of its
surroundings; and in strong contrast was
patient, suffering aunt Ruth in her quiet
little home, widowed and childish for
years, with no company, nothing cheer
ful.
“Well, now if ever there is a chance to
act upon my new resolution ”
To avoid furteer temptation, Kitty
wrote a letter full of regrets to Cousin
Alice, and one of acaeptance to Aunt
Ruth.*
Aunt Ruth took off her spectacles and
wii>ed her eyes when she read Kitty’s
note, and said, “The blessed child,” and
then handed it to the physician by her
bed-side. This physician, a quiet looking
gentleman, with a broad white forehead
was the child of a dear, early friend of
Aunt Ruth’s.
Kitty came at the appointed time, and
within a week the house was a changed
place. The doors and windows were
opened, and the sweet air and sunshine
let in. Bouquets were scattered here and
there, freshly arranged each day. The
rigid arrangement of the furniture was
broken. Aunt Ruth’s old piano was turn
ed and drawn up near the doorof her room
that Kitty might sing to her. Aunt Ruth’s
good old heart was greatly rejoiced by
all this change, and the Doctor wondered
greatly. He saw the effect, and knew
Kitfcy to be the cause, but the means were
to him a mystery. From day to day be
wondered what change sueli a bright
spirit would make in liis grand but som
bre old place a mile or two distant.
Nothing could exceed Kitty’s amaze
ment when she found that Aunt Ruth’s
friend, to whom she had written so often,
of whom she talked so much was the great
doctor. She did not talk much in his
presence, for she stood in realawe of him;
but her delight was unspeakable in lis
faming to Ins conversation with Annt
Bath- Hh vast knowledge, his varied
experience, his noble ideas were wonder-
fruto her, and she congratulated herself
that die knew him so much better here
tfnm she could have known him at Wood
lawn.
To the doctor Kitty was a revelation.
He had never had much time or opportu
nity for enjoying the society of ladies.—
He was not at all versed in their ways or
manners. He thought Kitty’s beaming
face was like sunshine ; her merry laugh
like rippling waters; her voice like sweet
melody. He noted her womanly ways, her
gentleness, her kindness. He found her
“ never weary of well-doing, never seeking
her own.”
It fell out as Kitty had predicted. Aunt
Ruth grew rapidly better. So after all.
Kitty went to Woodlawn about the time
that Dr. Randall did ; but, for some rea
son, she did not enjoy it as she had in
former times. Everything lacked tone
and interest, and she looked back with
a sigh to the quiet conversations in Aunt
Ruth's sick room. She saw but little of
Dr. Randall. He seemed engrossed by
the gentlemen. The fact was he avoided
her; for, when he saw her so sought by
her young friends, no party being com
plete without her, the delight and joy of
all, he began to fear that the society of a
dull student like himself must be irksome,
and he only then discovered what it would
be to him to have her always.
Toward the close of the visit. Dr. Ran
dall proposed that the party should trans
fer themselves to liis place for a week or
so. This invitation was hailed with de
light ; for Randall Place, with its majes
tic trees, beautiful views, long avenues,
grassy lawns, and above all grand myste
rious rooms, closed since his mother’s
death, were objects of interest to all. Not
the smallest of Kitty's pleasures that she
found dear Aunt Ruth there. But yet
Kitty carried a dreary heart the while:
for it seemed to her that all her interest iu
life was concentrated iu this one spot, and
how soon she was to leave it !
One day Dr. Randall sat in his library
alone, his head buried in his hands. Aunt
Ruth came softly in. She saw his look
of wretchedness.
“Thee ought to be a happy man. Hugh
Randall, with these broad lands, and thy
great 02>portunities to do good. But thee
does not look so.”
“Aunt Ruth, I would give all of this
and more for the one little ewe lamb that
is not mine.”
“What dost thee mean, Hugh ?”
“1 mean that my selfish heart pines for
your little Kitty.”
Aunt Ruth walked out of the library
with more celerity than her aged body
usually permitted, went to Kitty’s room
in a manner that might be called excited,
and said:
“Katharine, go to the library ; the doc
tor lias need of thee.
Kitty hastened, a little alarmed.
“Aunt Ruth says you waut me, Dr.
Randall.”
“I do want you—I do ! What else did
she tell you ? That my whole being is
crying out for you; that my heart is
hungry and insatiable ? But I did not
mean to disturb your happy life—I did
not mean this knowledge to come to you.”
Kitty turned her sweet, true face full
upon him.
“Dr. Randall, iu all the world there is
nothing I would rather have than your
love.”
She has been his wife now for six
months.
Mrs. Randall is a good and noble woman,
Dr. Randall is a good and noble man:
and there is no reason why they should
not lead good and noble lives. Aunt
Rutli lias closed her little house, and is
their honored guest. Kitty still strives
ardently to keep her resolution, but her
husband thinks she never had need to
make it.
A Fearful Picture of Extravagance.
The Hon. Fernando Wood, of New
York, on Saturday last made a speech
arraigning the Grant administration for
corruption and extravagance. Mr. Wood
is a member of the House Committee of
Ways and Means, and is consequently
well informed on his subject. "We repro
Trades of Animals.
It has been well remarked by a clever
author that bees are geometricians. The
cells are so constructed as, with the least
quantity of material, to have the largest
sized spaces'and the least possible inter
stices.
The mole is a meteorologist.
The torpedo, the ray and the electric
eel are electricians.
Whole tribes of birds are musicians
The beaver is architect, builder and
wood-cutter. He cuts down trees, and
erects houses and dams.
The marmot is a civil engineer. He
not only builds houses, but constructs
aqueducts and drains to keep them
dry.
The ant is a soldier, and maintains a
regular standing army.
Wasps are paper manufacturers.
Caterpillars are silk-spinners.
The squirrel is a ferryman. With a
chip or piece of bark for a boat, and liis
tail for a sail, he crosses a stream.
Dogs, wolves, jackals and many others
are hunters.
Black bears and herons are fishermen.
Ants are day. laborers.
Monkeys are rope-dancers.
Greasing of Axles.—The Canada Far
mer gives the following directions: Many
a wheel is rained by oiling too plentifully.
A well made wheel will endure constant
wear for ten to twenty years, if care is
taken to use tlie right kind and proper
amount of oil; but if this matter is not
attended to, the wheel will be used up in
five or six years, or it may be sooner.
Lard should never be used on a wagon,
for it will penetrate the hub and work its
way around the tendons of the spokes
and spoil the wheel. Castor oil is a good
material for use on an iron axle; just oil
enough should be applied to a spindle to
give it a light coating; this is better than
more, for the surplus put on will work
out at the ends and be forced by the
shoulders and nut into the hub around
the outside of the boxes. To oil the
axletree, first wipe the spindles clean
with a cloth wet with turpentine, if it
won’t wipe without it. On a buggy

Farmer El Paso, asks.—“Can you tell
me any method for measuring the height
of a tree when standing. If you can
give me any valuable rale, you will confer
a great favor upon a constant reader.
When measured its height may be readily
ascertained as follows: Set a 6tiek
upright, (let it be perpendicular by the
plumb line.) Measure the length of the
shadow of the stick. As the length of
its shadow is to the height of the stick so
is the length of the shadow of the tree to
its height. For instance: if the stick is
four feet above the ground, and its shad
ow is six feet in length, and the shadow
of the tree is ninety feet, the height of
the tree will be sixty feet: (G:4::90::60.)
In other words: multiply the length of
the shadow of the tree by the height of
the stick, and divide by the shadow of
the stick.

A fearful outrage was perpetrated by a
mob at Ahualulco, in the State of Jalisco,
last Sunday. In the morning the Presi
dent delivered an incendiary sermon, in
tlie course of which he advocated the
extermination of Protestants. This so
excited his hearers that a mob gathered
in the evening, and, proceeding to the
residence of John Stevens, a Congrega
tional minister sent out by the Boston
Board of Foreign ^Missions. With cries
of “Long live the priests!” they broke
into the house, and seizing the clergyman,

A thousand millions drawn from the
people in taxes during throe years, when
$600,000,000 was ample for all necessi
ties. Nearly §15,000,000 expended in
the sevei-al branches of the public service
in 1873, against less than §6,000,000 in
1868. A Civil Service that employed
86,650 persons in 1873, against 44,500 in
1860, or more than are employed in the
civil list of Germanv, France and Eng
land together. The payment of over
§40,000,000 premium for the privilege of
anticipating the public debt which was
not due for twenty years. A production
of §640,000,000 in nine years past from
the mines, of which but §270,138,726 has
been coined at the mints. During the
same period the receipt by the Treasury
of §1,590,124,288 for duties on imports,
making an aggregate of over two thous
and millions, and a depreciated and ir
redeemable paper currency not only con
tinued but increased. Extravagance and
profligacy, the ruling feature of the ad
ministration, which in turn have diffused
through the country pernicious notions
of the character and functions of the
Government and taught the rising gener
ation that any road to wealth is the true
one but that of industry and economy.
The National resources waiting to he de

The usurpation of State authority by the
Federal Government and the substitution
of anarchy or despotism. It is all a pic

London, March 16.—There was a great
crowd of French people at Chiselhurst
to-day to celebrate the eighteenth anni
versary of the birth af Prince Louis
Napoleon. Over six thousand cards of
admission were issued, and those to
French persons only. In the morning
mass and thanksgiving services were held,
after which the Duke of Padone addressed
the Prince in the name of French persons
present, congratulating him upon having
attained his majority. The Prince in his
remarks in reply returned thanks to his
countrymen for their faithful remem
brance of the late Emperor, and in con
clusion said: “Despito the confidence
inspired by the loyalty of MacMalion an
irresistable current public opinion lias
pronounced in favor of a plebiscite. I am
ready to accept its verdict. ”
Great enthusiasm was manifested and
Camden House, the residence of the
exEmpress and the Prince was gaily
decorated.
