MAUUEI COBHA BHA8 l [Dublin University Haguine ] Maureen Cosha Dhas I Yer tha purtevt lass Ever walked on shoe leather or dbrove a boy mad; For yonr wee little feet, And yonr figure so swtet Are too much for the basis af a poor Irish lad. S Manreeu Ouba Dhast When I see ye at Mass, Saints above! I’jn afraid that it’s t’ye I pray; An’ the crown o’ my hat. When I look into that, Has yer party face there, wid the dimples at play. Mannca Oosha Dhas! Thin the asedda ye cross, To your father’s Bate cabin jnst under the hill. Th’ divil, we’re tonld, Tempted Tony of ould Wyi a woman—Bedad! we’ve the pattern still. Maureen Cosha Dbar! * (Yer tb’sly little lass) Wid yer “Top o’ th’ mornin’,” thin ye’ll go on yer way, But yer purty eyes dance And ye gives me a glance That sez, “Dinna agra! have ye nothn’t’ say!’ Winter la life in LonionlMfins and ends late in i tha day. Tha wary crooning sweepers do i not tarn oat tfll ten e’oleek, and no newa- boyn tonne the sleeping echoes of the ntreeta at the on earthly hour of eight. Ev erything enocaragcc man to lie in bed late of a morning. If lie geta np at nine [ he will tumble over the housemaid's pail [ jnst outside the door, end even the doth will not be laid for breakfast. The greet “Weet End” doae not aeem to be fairly op and about till three or four in the af ternoon. Towards six the streets axe crowded, and Burlington arcade begins to put on its liveliest face. At eight one goes to dinner, and if there are more men than ladies present you will gat away before 11:30. Thus, at this time of the year, the Londoner gets along with an infini tesimal quantity of-daylight, and it is lucky for him that he is able to do ao, for the sky is bidden by fogs and vapors, and until one geta need to it, the heavy and sombre air fills one with the blues and gives rise to dismal presentiments of ap proaching evil. ALL MY LIFE LOX6. All my lift long have my etepa beau attended, Surely by One who regarded my ways; Tenderly watched over, sweetly befriended. Blessing* have followed my nights and my days, Tear* have been quenched in the sunah ine and gladnees, Anthems of sorrow been turned into song; Angels have guarded the gateway* of aadnesa, Summer and winter—yea, all my life long. All in the dark would I be and uncertain Whither to go, but for One at my side, Who from the future removes the dim curtain. Seeing the glory to mortals denied. Ho other friend could so patiently lead me, Ho other friend prove so faithful and strong; Pith augek’ food be has promised to feed me. Who has befriended me all my life long. He will not weary—O Lle-sed assurance! Infinite lov* will the finite outlast! Bor for my Heavenly Father’s endurance, Into the depths of despair were I cast. This is my star in a midnight of sorrow. This it my refuge, my strength, and my song; Earth is to-day, bat there’s heaven to-morrow, And Jeans to be with me all my lift long. Maureen Cosha Dhas! I’ll not let ye pass The next time I meet ye at fair or at wake; Me peace ye destroy An’ that’s hard on a boy That ’ud fight a whole .faction and die for yer sake! Maureen Co?ha Dhas! Wo’ll sit on the grass Wid me arm roun’yer waist, and a tear in yer eye; And ye’ll say, “Darlin’ Dennis! Spake to Father Maginnis; Share I’d rather do that, now, nor think that ye’d -Ala.” THE EMPTY i CRADLE: Sad is the heart of the mother Who sits by the lonely hearth, Where never again the children Shall waken their songs of mirth. And still through the painful silence She listens for voice and tread Outside of the heart—there only She knows that they are not dead! Here is the desolate cradle, The pillow so la'ely pressed, But for away has the birdling Flown from Its little nest. Crooning the lullabies over,; That once were her babe’s delight, All through the misty spaces She follows its upward flight. Stiver Hsaatain Glories. One look to the eastward toward son- down or in the morning, will convince everyone that the Canon bottoms and deserts and valleys to the eye have at some time been covered with water through which the mountains and ranges of hills have pricked their rooky peaks and formed isles in the offing. At five o’clock one evening lately, the tope of the Sngar-loaf and the Coma range and the crags and peaks this side were all afloat on a rolling sea of mist, which filled the places onoe occupied by the water. This sea beat on the reefs beyond the Twenty- six mile desert and the Sands of Death, where glistening bones still mark the overland trail for forty miles, and seemed to die along the Humboldt, one hundred and eighty miles away. It was a glorious picture, and one which belongs to the eastern side of Mount Davidson alone.— Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise. Little she thought of a moment 8o gloomy and sad as this When close to her heart she gathered Her child for its good-night kiss. She should be tenderly cherished, Never* grief should she know, Wsalth, and the pride of a princess; These would a mother bestow. And this is the darling’s portion In heaven—where she has fled; By angels securely guarded, By angels securely led, Brooding in sorrowful silence Over the empty nest, Can you not see through the shadows Why it Is all for the best?.. Better the heavenly kingdom. Than riches of earthly crown; Better the early morning .flight, Than one when the sun is down; Better an empty casket, Than jewels besmirched with siu; Safer than these without the fold Are those that have entered in. Harriet Martinean's First Appear ance la JPrlnt. From Her Autobiography.] I suppose I must tell what that first paper was, though I had much rather not, for I am so heartily ashamed of the whole business as never to have looked at the article since the first flutter of it weut off. It was on “Female Writers on Practical Divinity.” I wrote away, in my abomin able scrawl of those days, on foolscap paper, feeling mightily like a fool all the time. I told no one, and carried my ex pensive packet to the Post Office myself, to pay the postage. I took the letter V, for my signature—I cannot at all remem ber why. The time was very near the end of the month. I had no definite ex pectation that I should ever hear any thing of my paper; and certainly did not suppose it could be in the forthcoming number. That number was sent in be fore service time on a Sanday morning. My heart may have been beating when I laid hands on it: bat it thumped prodi giously when I saw my article there, and in the Notices to Correspondents, a re quest to hear more from .V. of Norwich. There is oertainly something entirely pe culiar in the sensation of seeing one’s self in print for the first time; the lines bum themselves in upon the brain in a way of whioh black ink is incapable in any other mode. So I felt that day, when I went about with my secret—I have said what my eldest brother was to us—in what reverence we held him. He was just married, and he and his bride asked me to return from chapel with them to tea. After tea he said, ‘‘Come now, we have had plenty of talk; I will read yon something;” and he held oat bis hand for the new Repository. After glancing at it, he exclaimed, “They have got a new hand here. 1 Listen.” After a paragraph, he repeated, “Ah! this is anew hand; they have had nothing so good for a long while.” (It wonld be impossible to oon- vey to any who do not know the Monthly depositor of that day, how very small a compliment this was.) I was silent, of coarse. At the end of the first column he exclaimed about the style, looking at me in some wonder at my being as still as a moose. Next (and well I remember hiB tone, and thrill to it still) his words were: “What a fine sentence this is! Why, do yon not think so?” I mumbled out, silily enough, that it did not seem anything particular. “Then,” said he, “you were not listening.” I will read it again. There now!” As he still got nothing out of me, he turned ronnd upon me, as we sat aide by side on the sofa, with, “Harriet, what is the matter with yon? I never knew you so slow to praise anything before.” I replied, in utter oonfusion, “I never could baffle anybody. The truth is, that paper is mine.” He made no reply; read on in silence, and spoke no more till I was on my feet to oome away. He then laid his hand on my shoulder and said gravely (calling me “dear” for the first time,) “Now, dear, leave to other women to make shirts and dam stockings, and do you devote your self to this?” I went home in a sort of dream, so that the squares of the pave ment seemed to float before my eyes. That evening made me an authoress. The Homan Face. The countenance of every nation de fines the characteristics of its people. Every human face indicates the moral training as well as the temperament and the ruling traits of its owner, jnst as much as every human form indicates the quality and amonnt of its physical exer cise. This is prowon by the variety of human faces everywhere visible. Those whose ljves have been given to physical labor, on brightened by an education of ideas, have always a stolid, stupid ex pression, even while their limbs and mus cles are splendidly developed. The more savage people, the uglier they are in fa cial development. The very features of their faces are disfigured by violent and nngoveraed passions People whose em ployments are intellectual, have invaria bly a large, clear gaze, a bright ontraying expression, as if from an inward light shining throogh a vase. Where a fine organization and a deep sensibility ac company the practice of intellectual pur suits, often the features take on a trans parent luminous look. Persons endowed with, powerful sensibility, however plain their features, always have moments of absolute beauty. Haldae Sands. Never trust a man who has no enemies. Life is sad indeed when it holds noth ing to hope for. Wives suffer more heartaches from neg lect than'abose. God loves those who love their fellow beings. It is not clothing but the heart that in dicates a man’s real worth. He cannot be a bad man who obeys the laws of his oountry and of his God. One dark minute may sweep away what it took whole years to oheriah. Don’t ask God to help the poor until you have done something in that direct tien yourself. The early associations and teachings form the characters of men and women. A single breath of slander may wither the fairest hopes of a life and render exs istence worse than death. It is a beautiful and comforting belief to a bereaved heart that God takes our best loved ones away to heaven that we may strive the more earnestly to folibw them. The faith of a pure, loving woman is the most sacred trust that can be given and he who betrays it commits a greater sin than he who takes a human life. A man mast feel the need of a kind word to appreciate it, and it is because the gentle “God speed you” is so seldom spoken to the unfortunate that the kind ness which prompts it is usually wasted. Rev. Leonard Woolsey Bacon, of Ge neva, Switzerland, returns to his charge that Old Catholicism is weak and destined to go to pieces. He has been making in vestigation in Switzerland, and reports as the result that the Old Gatholich Church es of Geneva are very poorly attended, while the Ultramontane Churches are filled. The same is true in many of the country districts. The Old Catholics use the money of the State, but never give any of their own, and he has never heard yet of their building a new chnrcb. He counted the congregation Father Hy- acinthe had, and it numbered less than 200, half of whom he believed to be strangers and Protestants. Mr. Bacon can find no element of strength in Father Hyacinthe’s work. Enlarged Joints.—If the cofferer from sore and enlarged joints in the feet will bathe the parts with iodide of ammonia he can be speedily relieved. How to Help a Calla to Bloom.— My ealla now has four blossoms and one bud. I have tried keeping it in a pot, bat now have it in a tub about the size of a common water pail. I- have dirt with in three inches of the top, and keep it filled with water, potting it on warm. The calla is three feet high, blossoms measure five and one-half by six inches. To Pace Pictures and Glassware.— Small framed pictures may be wrapped in paper and packed In cheats of blankets, quilte, Ac., taking oare that each picture shall be qnite free from contact with, any other. China, glass, bronze, Ac., should be packed in hogsheads or crates by a ehina-paoker. The sum paid to an expe rienced packer will be far leas than the loss by breakage in domestic packing. Large pictures should be boxed if they are to be transported any distance. Packing a Library.—Books should be paoked in small boxes, as they are so heavy. Shoe-boxes are suitable for the purpose. Books handsomely bound shonld be wrapped singly In paper. Other books can be packed, edge downward, as closely as possible, and all interstices I* pointed them to a THe True Example. Every Christian ought to take Christ for his example, and follow him to the best of his ability. This being done, a pure and holy life will be the result, and the example set before others will be snch as the Lord will approve. The person who lives thus will be proud of the re- oord he has made, and will bless God for the privilege of living such a life. Thus he will become more and more like the divine Pattern as he nears the day, and the heavenly home. The burdens of life will be easier, the light of God’s truth will shine brighter, and the earnest of the heavenly joys will fill his heart with unspeakable consolation and pleasure. But how many Christians are following this great Pattern. How many are living pure and devoted lives? By my example have I led any away from the Saviour ? Have I led any to the intoxicating bowl, and thns to a drunkard’s life, with all of its woes and shame? Have I emboldened any to continue in sin and disobedience? It may be by my example some have ab sented themselves from the assembly of the saints, and thus have been led back into the world. Or by my Ioobb, irre ligious life, some may have looked upon chistianity as a mockery, and gone into infidelity. What has been my influence in these things? We tarn the piotnre over and examine the other side just for a moment: Have I led any to Christ by my example, both in business and church-life? Have I led any away from the intoxicating bowl, and better life? Have I stuffed with paper. To Clean Zinc Bath Tubs.—Muriatic acid mixed with one-fourth water; mix this with whiting so that it can be applied with a cloth; rob the zinc with the mix ture; rinse with 'soft water. To Clean Mats and Tidies Crocheted with Yarn.—Lay in cold water fifteen minntes, then rob plenty of white Caatile soap on them; then rinse in clean suds; hang up in the sun, and when nearly dry press on underside, and they will look as good as new. Removing Tea Stains.—The stains will eome oat of buff linen lanoh doth by being pat in the boiler in a suds made of two pailsfnl of water, a teacupful of soft soap and a tablespoonful of the Magical Mixture for washing. Let these ingre dients boil together five minntes; then put the boiler on the oorner of the range and pat the doth in, stirring it aronnd, bat not letting it boil. The color will not be injarned in the least by this pro cess. ‘Ike,” said Mm. Partington, “who’s this Electoral Bill that they are making nob a locomotion about in the House of Beprahensibles? If he’s any relation to thlt Florida fraud Cronin, I don’t wonder that they doobt his voradty, and have a tribulation of eommissionaries set on him.” Dee replied that he run for Con gress against Buffalo Bill, bnt the latter having stopped to teach Morlacchi a new step, had been distanced. Then the old lady went to Bleep, and Ike gave the cat a siU bath and a spoonful of boneset. A lady said to a neighbor, whose hus band was a book-keeper: “Your husband’s ooonpation is s very sedentary one; he most suffer for want of exercise.” “Oh, I don’t know about that; he’s always t»iHnfl about running np the columns,” Win tha reply. Hard Soap.—Four and one-half pounds fat, one box of condensed lye, one half pound sal-soda, 1 j pounds resin; dissolve s pound can of lye in six quarts of soft water; put the grease in a large kettle, add two qnarts lye, two qnartB soft water, and boil 30 minutes; then add three quarts lye, little at a time, not to stop the boiling, which oontinue from two to five hours, or an til it becomes soap, which may -be tasted by cooling in a spoon. Then add the resin, broken quite small, putting in rest of lye slowly, not j to stop the boiling, which continues 30 minutes, then add one teeonpful of salt, boil till the soap is separated from the lye and strings. When oooled in s spoon it should be Jiard, 1st it cool 15 minutes than stir in tha malted sal-soda, stir thor oughly, poor in moMs; wooden boxes or I pails will answer; when oold out in pieces j to dry. told any of a Saviour’s dying love, and of the mansions pure and bright in the bet ter world? Have I encouraged any in the divine life by being faithful myself jn all my church relations? Have I kept my promise in sustaining the canse of Christ or have I failed to give of my means as the Lord has prospered me? The Lord knows just how all these thiDga stand, and' how mneh true man hood I have. He knows all my purposes, and comprehends me altogether. He will make allowance for all my foibles, but will hold me accountable for all my sins. If I have lived right, if I have kept my self unspotted from the world, and walk ed uprightly before God, my example has been good, and will have a fine influ ence for truth and trighteoosness. Let every reader of these lines pat himself in these balances, that he may weigh him self and judge of his spirituality. Let no one say, “I have no need of snch an ex amination.” If you are following the perfect Pattern, Christ, it will do yon no harm, but if you are a wanderer from the path of duty it may do you some good. It is written to help some along the jour ney of life, and aa we send it oat we pray God’s blessings upon it “Watch ye stand fast in the faith, qoit you like men, be strong.”—St. Louis Christian.
