THE RAIN A T NIGHT.
Drip, drop! drip, drop 1
Hear the rain come down ;
Over the valleys, lone and still,
And over the sleeping town ;
Over the trees khat wave and gleam,
With a murderous tone and low,
I can not sleep, and I can not dream,
I love to near it so.
Drip, drop! drip, drop 1
All night long it goes—
To-morrow will have a greener grass,
And a redder heart in the rose,
With lilies as white as the drifted snow,
And violets free from stain,
And daisies and pansies, all aglow
With the tremulous drops of rain.
Drip, drop ! drip, drop!
List’ning to its fall
I wander back to the past again.
And hear my loved ones call
Out from the shore where they have gone,
As in the days of yore ;
And with them I seem to journey on,
Weary and weeping no more.
.. £ * f .... §
Drip, drop! drip, drop !
Down from the sloping eaves ;
And over my lost and wasted powers,
My conscious spirit grieves ;
And pure resolves, which the Father hears,
And the angels love to know,
Spring up to bless the gathering years,
In summer time and snow.
Drip, drop 1 drip, drop!
So well the sound I love!
I wonder oft if the angels hear
Sweeter music above.
Earth hath its melodies, rich and rare,
And strains of glad dilight;
But none, me thinks, that will e’er compare
With the rain-drops in the night.
Drip, drop ! drip, drop !
Hear the rain come down;
Over the hill-tops, fast asleep,
And over the sleeping down ;
Over the trees that wave and gleam,
With mtWical tones and low,
I can not sleep and I can not dream,
I love to hear it so.
From the New York World.

“I assure yotßt is all in management, my
dears,” exclaimed pretty little Dlrs. Adr-i
--nnee, at a “tea-drinking,” in answer to the
questionings of her guests.
it passelh comprehension,” replied
a chorus of voices.
Mrs. Adriance was not a heroine, and
had no idea of becoming a social oracle;
she simply understood the art of home
making, and rendering the family life a
success, even though her income was small
and her family largo.
She understood that exquisite tact and
the finest ingenuity were requisite to make
ends meet; yet Phil. Adriance bore himself
more like a lord than a poor man, and Mrs.
Adriance dressed better, went out oftencr—
in short, revivedfrom her life a more sat
isfactory- return than many who counted
thousands to her hundreds.
Os course the finest, shades of diplomacy
were railed in tlieJ ttainment of such a
result, and *!hW vtwihy coterie of Lynton
grange went bent on sifting the sorcery and
arriving at the condition of things en chrys
alis.
No doubt her experience was well worth
relating, and enre-worn matrons of five
and thirty’ looked into the fresh young face
not many months their junior with a wist
ful questioning that told its own story.
In the length and breadth of that sunny
southern land (here had once been no fairer
girl than Alice Merideth, who outraged
friends and society by marrying the present
Master of Lynton grange. Many had pre
dicted her downfall, but the young head
was still upheld, and the joyous eyes of
Phil. Adriance revealed the fact that he
was a happy man, which is the first step
toward being a successful and honorable
one.
This, then, was the structure set upon a
shaky foundation. Il was wonderful 1 She
smiled saucily Pi rreognilion of their
thoughts, and said simply :
“I will tell you about the manner in
which I ‘threw myself away,’ matrimoni
ally, as my friends were kind enough to
predict,” she said, mischievously.
“Knowing Phil's weakness,” suggested
Mrs. Wilburn, apologetically.
Which, through judicious management,
was converted into strength,” interrupted
his wife, with humid eyes.
“I know,” she continued, seeing her lis
teners look incredulous, “if there is one
thing above another of which men have a
holy iiorror, it is a managing woman. T bey
‘ seem to embody all the objectionable ele
I meats of strong-mindedness in the shape ot
the traditional thorn in the flesh. But you
see, my dears, there are various ways and
1 means of doing things, and the right way
| is just as easy as the wrong one, if we only
I know which is which. Now, the correc-

Os course it requires management, but the
same rule applies to every case. Men and
things are much the same, the world over.’
“Do you mean to tell me,” asked her lis
tener eagerly, “that model Phil, of yours
did not rebel when you took away bis
liquor and cards ?”
“I did not take them away,” she replied,
quickly; “and there is the secret. You can
not conquer a man by flying into the face
of his predilections any more than you can
convince him it is for his good to amputate
bis limbs. Habits are a kind of moral
limbs, you know ; and there is more in
volved in a correct understanding of these
things than many women imagine. Hence
they go on blundering to the end, and soci
ety is called upon to chronicle such denoue
ments as disgrace the matrimonial record.
But I will lull you just how I
Phil.
“During our courtship he spent his even
ings generally with me. Ot course there
were exceptions, the traces of which were
always visible. Such excesses of appetite
tell their own story—full of unreckoned
pathos. Many see only the other side, and
are full of censure and contempt for what
they esteem weakness. Many a woman
would have faltered, remembering only her
self. I knew I had a work to perform;
that my destiny was to be indeed the help
meet of this noble though misguided man,
whom I loved to idolatry. I must be his
strength. I knew to be given what he
needed of care and direction would take
away the old desire completely. A temp
tation is deprived of its prestige if we meet
and fuco it tairly. Give to man or child the
sweets or playthings they covet, and the
wild longing for them is gone. This was
my line ot policy, and it acted like a charm.
Phil.’s old friends were present at our wed
ding—not bad fellows at all, possessing fine
tastes and cultivated to a degree, merely
dissipated for lack of equipoise; all gener
ous to a fault, yet holding much too lightly
the gifts of life. The house-warming they
gave us on our return trom travel was some
thing tremendous, for they all loved Phil,
and he loved them.
“No doubL many a wise and prudont
woman Would have been jealous of theif
influence over her young husband, and
deemed it proper to discountenance the
rival intimacy. I simply sought to turn it
to the best account, taking care that the
boon companions of Phil. Adriance should
respect and care for his wife.
“They came and went as they chose.
The wines they liked were always on the
table without stint. I joined them in their
games, making myself as agreeable as pos
sible, and rendering our house more at
tractive than their club-rooms. Men will
only go from home to find what they have
not within its atmosphere. Phil.’s happi
ness and contentment showed me I bad
made of my venture a grand success. In
doing good to him, I had helped the others
too
“One after another married, and became,
as you know, excellent men. Go where
you will, you will fiud none more exempla
ry than the officers of .Lynton grange. Yet
men are such puppets in the toils of cir
cumstances, who knows but that Taylor
and Hindman and Randolph and St. Clair,
and all the other Patrons of Husbandry
might have become—well, something less
praiseworthy thun Lhe substantial public
spirited citizens who are esteemed an honor
to communities and a benefit to mankind.”
“Bravo 1” exclaimed the ladies in chorus.
“But,” demurred sweet little Airs. St.
Clair, blushing, “man’s dangerous associ
ates are not always those of bis own sex.
One designing woman can do more damage
than a dozen men; and I hojie you would
not have one make a guest ot one’s hus
band’s inamorata?”
“Precisely. If she is at all eligible, cul
tivate her by all meaas. Her arts will tail
powerices in the pure, pleasant atmosphere
of his wife.”
“And suffer by the contact,” pouted the
little lady, defiantly. “These women, who
go about ‘seeking whom they may devour,’
are usually the idlers of society, ami having
nothing to do but to make themselves pret
ty and fascinating, hold a busy wife ata
serious disadvantage.”
“On the contrary, possessing the vantage
ground of his esteem, she has the power to
[shine all the brighter by contrast. It is a
woman's fault if her husband is not always
her lover. She can hold, if she will, the
supreme place in his life.”
“All married people can not be like you
and Phil.—always lovers. Children take
one’s ’ 'me, and household duties are dire
[ foes to pleasure,”
[ . Children may be so disciplined as not
to venture intrusion upon the hours set
apart for the enjoyment of the older mem
bers of the family, ’ answered Mrs. Adri
ance. “I am very fond of children, and
i have the highest respect for their rights and
privileges, but likewise hold sacred the im-
I munities of grown people; and I think, of
all mistaken martyrdoms, that which suf
fers every woman to be broken in upon by
[ these small marauders, who respect nothing
[ under the sun, and by reason of their petty
i selfish nets are as likely to become a bother
las a blessing, is the greater. A pqjlion ot
I mv time i=> given to my children, but I
: never allow them in any sense to encroach
upon the hours which are clue to my hus
band. The day is theirs; the evening,
whether at home or abroad, is given to his
amusement and entertainment. The larger
boys and girls often join our games up to a
certain hour, and thus assist in making
papa’s home-coming a general holiday.
“As regards the household duties, we
have reduced our work to such a perfect
system that it is a recreation rather than a
task. Phil, —dear soul! who tries to spare
us all he can, is always bringing home some
contrivance for lightening our labors —of
which our organization would do well to
avail itself. He holds that every moment
saved to labor is so much gained to cul
ture ; and-Jthere are so many contrivances
of this nature, it is a pity not to bring to
bear any invention of genius which may
aid talent and industry to work out the
problem of life.”
“You do your sewing, too, do you not ?”
inquired one of her listeners.
“Yes; that is, dressmaking. Though,
with the aid of accurate patterns artel a
machine, that is an easy matter. Phil.’s
shirts, our underwear, and the children’s
clothing, I order from New through
a lady resident, who has reduced shopping
to such a line art that slie can send us just
what we need, with the aid of accurate
measurements, at figures so reasonable as
to amaze one who does not understand the
advantage, of buying at the fountain-head.
Then, too, her suggestions are worth every
thing to me. Her fashion and household
articles in our weekly paper are so prac
tical. She tells me just how to make the
most of everything, and renders it so easy,
I do not think I could get along without
her.”
“And your hats, too? Docs she order
them for you ?”
“No ; I make them I”
“What! Why they are like the pictures
I sec in tire fashion magazine!”
“Tet the ‘Rousby’ I wear consists of a
Chantilly vail many yearn old, puffed over
a Neapolitan straw in vogue many years
ago. I simply turned the brim down at
•hn. and sides and square up at the
back, inkling a few sprays of scarlet gera
nium. That is my dress hut,”
“But you have a ‘Derby,* in the latest
style,” persisted little Mrs. St. Clair, noth
ing loth to get at the secret of the speaker's
usual attractiveness; for none knew better
than the Grange master’s wife that the
plainest woman was susceptible of wonder
ful pqMWllities under the mysterious appro
priations Os a charmingly successful toilet.
“That is iny’English walking-hat of last
season, with the brim flattened, a few extra
braids let into the crown, surmounted by
an azure wing and draped about with sev
eral yards of tissue a la mode. My New
York friend planned it. Phil, says she is a
trump. Do you know she fits him in cloth
ing better than his own tailor at one-half
the trouble and expense.”
“I will write to her myself,” exclaimed
Mrs. Venable. “The times are so hard, I
thought of making over the girls’ dresses
this season, and would like suggestions and
fresh trimmings. Then, too, 1 want a new
carpet and some plated ware, and I learn
they may be bought now at greatly reduced
prices.”
“True,” answered Mrs. Adriance, “and
economy consists less in what is made than
what is saved, and really getting the most
out ot the resources at command. In no
other way can the problem ot human hap
piness lie solved, with a view to individual
success and national prosperity.”
“But,” queried Mrs. Wainwright, “being
so busy for yourself and family, how is it
you find so much time to assist others ?”
“Simply by showing them how to be in
dependent enough to help themselves. One
example is better than a thousand prccep’s,
you know.”
True. Everywhere was felt the influence
of Mrs. Adriance. Yet her aid was so del
| icately rendered, her suggestions so defer
ential, that no one felt offended or misun
: derstood the motive of her friendly inter
ference. To fiud the way is often harder
than to walk in it.
Tea was announced.

The Story cf an Arab.
I -
i The story of a Cincinnati newsboy who
, found a pocket-book containing one thou
isand dollars and returned it to the owner ;
• with contents intact reached Philadelphia in ;
i i good season, and was productive of cons.d- I
I j erable of a sensation among the street Arabs. (
! J One boy was so affected by it that be straight
j way determined to see that Cincinnati boj, ;
> and go him seventeen or eighteen Letter. •
, i He took another small boy into his confi- >
i dence, aud the test of probity of character |
was carried into effect Bov No. 2 dropped
a well-padded pocket-book, which, boy No.
! 1, following close behind, picked up. |
Then with a look on his face that would ,
’ u.. c done honor to Benjamin Franklin, the '
i L nest little fellow walked up to an old gen
j Uvm&a who was passing by, extending Hie j
pocket-book, and with trembling voice ei - :
i claimed : “Take it, str. It is yours. Yon ®
dropped it juat now. My mother and seven
J little brothers are starving, but I cannot keep j
it, sir, for it don't belong to me.’ The old i
gentleman looked at the boy, then pulled
out his spectacles and adjusted them fora
better sight. He could not sufficiently ad
mire the wan visage of that little street wan
derer, illuminated as it was with a glow of
goodness and honesty.
He patted the boy on the head, and pull
ing out a five dollar bill from his vest pock
et, handed it to him, saying, “Boy, you will
grow to be a great man. Take this money
for your starving family, and always remem
ber that “honesty is the best policy.” Then
the old gentleman skurried into the nearest
lager beer saloon, and opened his pocket
book, Then he began to dance around and
call on heaven and earth to witness that if
ever he encountered that boy again he
would flay him alive. And he continued to
orate until a policeman was called in to ar
rest- him as ft lunatic, and the only excuse
he could give for his conduct was that a
small boy bad robbed him of five dollars by
giving him a pockgVbook stuffed with old
paper.
The Span of Life.
Some philosophers have divided the three
score and ten years allotted to human life
into ten periods of seven years each, and
have given us the following summary of
existence :
Seven years in childhood’s sport and play, 7.
Seven years in school from day to day, 14.
Seven years al trade or in college life, 21.
Seven years to find a place and wife, 28.
Seven years to pleasure’s follies given, 35.
Seven years to business hardly driven, 42.
Seven years for some wild goose chase, 49.
Seven years for wealth and bootless race, 56.
Seven years for hoarding for your heir, 63.
Seven years in weakness, pain, ann care, 70
Then die and go—you should know where.
It is also said that the constituents of the
human body are entirely changed, and the
whole physical man altogether renewed, du
ring each of these septennial periods. The
termination of each septenary, is called a
climacteric; and these have been supposed
to be critical periods, attended with some
change in the body, health or fortune; and
that when each is fairly passed there is a
reasonable prospect of life until the next one
is reached. This has been more particular
ly and generally remarked with regal’d to
the seventh climacteric, (7 times 7), when
the 50th year of age is entered upon. The
age of 63 (9 times 7) is termed the grand
climacteric, because it is the multiple of 7
by the last, or highest digit (9), and because
it is the highest, or last, climacteric period,
beyond which there is not any promise or
assurance of life.
Sand Papeh.—One of the odd industries,
the nature and extent of which are compar
atively little known, is the manufacture of
sand paper, the amount of which article an
nually produced in the United States is es
timated at over 200,000 reams, including
the various grades and qualities. Former
ly it was made of ordinary brown paper,
glue, and sand. At present, for the most
part, the paper is made of old rope, the best
quality of glue is used, and, instead of sand,
pulverized quartz or flint. By this means
a superior fabric is produced, of a constant
ly uniformed grade, and at so low a price
that the use of it has become greatly exten
ded, large quantities being exported to Eu
rope. South America, the Pacific Islands,
and elsewhere. For emery cloth a large
demand has been created by the finished
iron work in steam engine shops, the sew
ing machine factories, and other similar in
dustries wnich require them for polishing
purposes.
Wear a Smile. —Which will you do —
smile and make others happy, or be crabbed
and muke every-body around you miserable?
Y’ou can live among flowers and singing
birds, or in the mire, surrounded by fogs
and frogs. The amount of happiness which
you can produce is incalculable, if you will
only show a smiling face, a kind heart, and
speak pleasant words. On the other hand,
by sour looks, cross words, and a fretful dis
position, you can make hundreds unhappy
almost beyond endurance. Which will you
do* Wear a pleasant countenance; let joy
beam in your eye, and love glow on your
fore-head. There is no joy so great as that
which springs from a kind act or pleasant
deed, and you may feel it at night when you
rest, and at morning when you rise, and
i throughout the day when about your daily
j business.
I A short time ago, a congregation were
; assembled in a church in one of our large
I cities. A collection was taken up for some
I purpose, and a Mr. A., when the hat reach
! ed him, put in his customary plea of pover
! ty, although be was worth mßre than a
great many who had contributed liberally.
At the close of the service, the mourners
1 were called up, and after prayer, the hymn,
“I’m glad salvation’* tree,” was sung by the
congregation, and Mr A. entered into it,
' with unusual zest. A gentleman occupying
' a seat just in the rear of him, and who, by
die way, always contributes his part to ev
' ery enterprise ot the chare a, leaned forward
' and whispered into A’s ear, ‘1 think that
! hymn expresses very fully your views in re
■ gard to salvation from a financial stand
