TO-MORROW.
« -
BY MBS. MARY E. DODGE.
To-morrow, a beautiful day,
Is waiting for you and for me;
Bluest skies of a soft shining ravr*v
Are impatient the shadows tou#.
Why care if the landscape be sullen and
gay ?
To-morrow will chase all the cloud radks
away.
To-morrow, yon say, m»y be dull.
With the leaden-huedface of to-day.
Wait; its morrow with measure is full
Of a joy never spilled by delay
If to-day born of yesterday baffle on- will.
To morrow, to morrow is radiant still.
To morrow is mantled in white
As pure as the soft-lalling snow,
That sounds into waves ol delight,
To cover Earth’s pitiful woe.
The gale may be sighing, the frost-king
astray,
Yet to morrow will sparkle in crystal
spray.
To-morrow with roses is crowned,
A tender eyed sylph o’ the May ;
Flinging garlands ot blosspms arouDd
In a childlike improvident way.
To-day may be barren, a chill in the air:
To-morrow young Spring life will bud
everywhere.
To-morrow, the birds without fear,
Flitting back to the woodlands again,
Will sing, for the Summer that’s here,
A full-throated ravishing st”ain.
The world now so silent of bird or of bee
Tomorrow shall echo with refluent glee.
To-morrow the babe of the field
From its silk-curtained cradle shall
rise;
And spurning the harvest queen’s shield
Fill the air with a golden surprise.
The seed may be sown in the cell of to day,
Yet vestured to morrow iu royal array.
To morrow is regal for all,
With a sceptre of love in her hand ;
The weary but wait for her call,
To spring to the full-fruited land.
O’er the span of today we may tearfully
groupe,
But the arch of tomorrow is glowing
with hope.
Yes. to morrow, a beautiful day,
D waiting for yen nwWiw-me ;
Impatient our grief to atiay.
Ouv sArmw-weighi <1 pinions to free
Why reek we the burden that presses
to-day 1
To morrow, to-inorrow will lift it away.

Two Thunder-JUulen Clouds.
Did you ever watch two clouds
meeting in the heavens, and listen to
the thunder-peals which followed?
We have all done this, and just now
we may behold nimbus against nim
bus in the political sky. At Berlin,
the Empeiors oi Russia, and Austria
and Germany assembled on the sth,
and on the same day the luternaional
Society began its session at Hague.
What "the Emperors are meditating
is only a matter of conjecture. —
Whether they design to make anoth
er map of Europe or not, is what
puzzles the statesmen ot those coun
tries which are not parties to the ne
gotiations conducted by these high
and mighty peisouages; but the
lesser birds tremble when the eagles
sweep through the sky. The imperial
meeting may signify many things.
It is only certain that it means the
pieservation of the rights of Kings,
and of this there is no doubt.
On the other hand, the meeting at
the Hague is so distinct iu its objects
that he who runs may read. The
members of that Congress are ready
to chop off imperial heads with no
more concern than Mr. Greeley dis
plays in his woods at Chappaqua.
They are avowed enemies to the ex
isting orders of society, and look on
titles as a crime, property as a theft
Thes6 matters are as suggestive as
those pictured in our figure of the
opposing clouds, aud there is no
doubt that the discharge of the dead
ly electricity with which they are
laden cannot be postponed for many
years. The two opposing ideas *of
Authoritie and Radicalism are dis
tinctly embodied by the Emperors on
one hand and the International on
the other, and though the storm may
be postponed for a year or two, it
will ultimately burst with devastating
futy in the Old World. —Norfolk
Virginian.
The Boston Post tells us that “a
noble colored man in Memphis sue
cessfully signaled danger ahead to an
approaching train with his wife’s red
flannel petticoat.” Thecircumstance
confirms the Courier Journal in the
opinion that every man who live- in
the neighborhood of a railroad ought
to compel his wife to wear a red
flannel petticoat. — Sav. Aews.
In the flush of youth and indiscre
tion, an Aroostook county man of;
eighty court milted himself to a lady j
one year his senior. Ten days of •
married life satisfied him that it was
an ill assorted match, and he

family. 1

Chinamen Coming to Be Educa
ted —Following the example set bv
the Japanese, the Chinese Govern
ment has sent forty students to the
United States. These young men,
who are of the Mandarin class, are
to receive a collegiate education in
this country, in a cotme that shall
embrace a knowledge of our lan
guage and practical arts and science.
The" intention at first was to send
these students to England, but the

that the census now being taken is

Japanese should not understand the
explanation.

An Affecting Narrative.
Fro m the many inconveniences and
privations attendant upofi married
life in a boarding-bouse, and the mu- 1
tstions of proprietorial whim as to
progressive rental values which year
ly assail the tenant of another’s real 1
estate it is not the Unusual ambition 1
of the man of family 4o devote his
earliest pecuniary accumulations to
the purchase of a house of his own,
wherein, in complacent defiance of
extortionate landlords, he may enjov ;
the life and liberties of a freeman j
Some there are who reach and revel 1
in this consummation without execs
sive detriment to the grievous “law of
compensation” which discomfits so
many schemes of worldly felicity;
luit there is a tragedy of too frequent
occurrence in the old Spanish prov
erb that “when the roof is on, the
graveyard opens,” and many a pa
tient toiler after a house of his own
has escaped death in ,the new edifice
only to mourn the other common
penalties of such attained estate.
Certain natural enemies of the new
house holder, for instance, seem to
have unerring, wicked instinct for
finding his family in their first hours
of vainglorious proprietorial resi
dence, and beguiling them to bank
ruptcy in the mad, duplicator}’ pur
chase of the innumerable articles
suddenly commended as essential to
the simplest safety and comfort of
one's own house. One might not
think it necessary to have such
things in a mere hired tenement, but
in oue’s own house they are indispen
sable. This is a really dreadful peril
of the notice in domiciliary owner
ownership, and the many who have
suffered from it will he ready to
credit the story of a cit*. \n of Cleave
land, Ohio, who, according t» the
Leader of that city, ended his iutole
ruble anguish under it by leaping into
the canal there, lately, leaving his
explanation of the act in the form of
a “Diary” of his pitiless persecu
tions. A clerk, upon a fair salary,
he had scraped aid economized until
his savings were sufficient for the
erection of a house practically moi l
gaged ; and upon taking possession
thereof he began that daily record
of his life now serving to apologize
for his untimely death The extracts
from this record, as given by the
local journal above named, are full of
admonitory suggestions for those who
venrn to become their own landlords.
At first he rejoices in his new dignity
in these facile terms ;
“In my own house at least, built
to suit my wife, with three closets to
each room, a bath room, hack stairs
leading to the servants’apartments, a
verandah on two sides, and four bay
windows, what drawback can there
be to my happiness? No more rent
to pay- no more grumbling land
lords. I can cut a stovepipe hole
where I choose, and kick refractory
doors into shape without reproof or
c urges. There are few young men
so happily situated as lam with a
wife, two sets of twins, a four year
old boy, a coach dog, an old cat and
nine kittens, to say nothing of a good
salary at old Grinder’s with an occa
sioual “perquisite” when I am in
charge of the money drawer during
the cashier’s absence. Providence
has indeed snickered right out on
me.”
But scarcely have these notes of
exultation lost their pungency in
distance when the first inevitable
horror of the new situation invades
his earthly paradise.
“Went home an hour sooner than
usual to day, because my new boots
hurt me, and it was well I did, for I
found Angelina crying and a big
side whiskered chap standing over
her with a pen in his band, trying to
make her subscribe lor ‘The Poets of
the World,’ to be completed in 400
numbers, if possible to come in
monthly parts, payable when deliv
ered. lie had already taken her note
for thirty days for a Map ol Ohio
(issue of 1812), and full set of ‘Noo
dle’s Dime Romances, library size,
lie had almost convinced her to sub
scribe to the ‘Poets’ as I entered.
‘You will never feel it to pay for i
them by the month," said he. Here
I abruptly placed the toe of my shoe j
(which was built for civil war) against J
him, aud heconcluded to call at seme
other time.”
That fearful visitation of the new
Americau householder was thus
checked for the time, though only to
be succeeded by something even more
agonizingly impudent:
“More trouble again to-day. ent
home and found four gentleman ly-
looking men seated in the parlor,
Who called “on business of the ut
most importance,” ns they said, and
Angeline had invited them to dinner,
supposing them to be acquaintances
of mine. After dinner each Fone
called me aside at different times
and asked me if mv life was insured,
at the same time stuffing my pockets
full of circulars, pamphlets and fig
ure- relating to their respective com
panies. I smiled at their eagerness,
and said 1 would see them again.
They pressed my hand warmly and
said, T doubtless would unless death
intervened.’ I must Insure, though,
and one company is just as good as
another.”
Between that and the next fall per
secution se< ms to have come a brief
breathing spell, just long enough for
the recital of a pretty Tittle incident
of child life:
“Had an interesting time this
morning; the fourteen year-old hov
swallowed the stove lifter—at leas'
he said he did, and it’s missing—
and I remained at home so long
standing him on his head and swing
ing him by the heels to get the miss
ing article out of him that I was late
at the store, and received a reprimand
from the ‘old man,’ who said 1 must
not let that thing occur again.
Whether lie meant the turd in ess or
Stove-lifter affair is more than I know.
“P. S.—The lifter was found in the
stove to-night with the handle burn
ed oft”
There was no time, however, for
protracted attendance to children, as
other tormentors were at the door :
“Everything lias been more quiet
to daj, and 1 would be perfectly bap
py if these boots 1 am trying to
break in were two sizes larger; but
then Longfellow savs, ‘lnto each life
some rain must fall.’ Angeline says
she found the cards of six sewing
machine agents shoved in under the
front door upon her return from a
neighbor’s to-day. 1 hope then in
dustrious members of society m> not
contemplate a raid on me at pre-ent.
I have promised Angeline a first
class machine as soon as I am able
to get around to it, but that will not
be for a month yet.”
The unhappy man takes comfort
from fate too soon in this matter, for
if sewing machine men and other
furies are not immediately tolearated
in the new house itself, they know
bow to terrorize the miserable owner
elsewhere into readier future hospi
tality*
“The four insurance agents, a
patent fence ar.d wash-tub man, and
six lightning-rod men called at the
store to-day, to see about insuring,
fencing, wash tubbing and rodding
me into a state of happiness and com
fort Mr. Giinder, my employer,
said to me, ‘You must not have your
friends visit you during business
hours, Jones,’ which made me so
vexed I said—” * * *
Next followed scenes of actual vio
lence i/i this strange, pathetic story
of house-owning life, succeeded by an
entry bopelul with stiategetlcal con
tidenee:
“To day everything ran like clock
work until 1 returned home, a hen I
i found a team of dashing horses
! hitched to a couple of dwarf pear
trees in the front yard, and a bright,
| red wrgon, filled with ladders and
things, stood in the middle of a bed
of nischius and geraniums, a bull
dog of .the yellow variety, and with
teeth like a crosscut saw, smiled at
me from tbe door step, while two
men upon the roof were busy tearing
off shingles and driving books into
the chimney. I made a careful de
tour, and entered my house to find a
black whiskered chap,smelling strong
ly of patchouly. leaning lovingly
over Angeline’s shoulder, while she
was engaged in practicing on a sew
ing machine. ‘What in the name of
all that is cheeky does this mean ?’
said I. ‘Ah 1’ replied old Patchouly,
with a leer at my wife, ‘your husband,
I presume.’
“The fact is, sir, your wife (a dev
ilish fine woman, by the way) has
decided to purchase one of our dou
ble-treadle reversible needle,warranted
not to rip, ravel nor run down at tbe
heel sewing machines ’ But I for
bear—why repeat what followed ?
My entry in this journal to-day will
be brief but to tbe point. I am
wearing a saddle-rock oyster over my
eye. Angeline is in tears and in bed,
with a strong odor of camphor about
her person. But no “back anion
double treadle” sewing machine decks
my house ; and were it not for the j
trampled condition of my flower bed
aud a few displaced shingles on the
roof, one would never dream th<t two
able bodied lightning rod men had
attempted to go through me yester
day. I must organize for war, how
ever, on the Prussian plan. Peace i
|*2 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
exists in our household once more.
I have pacified Angeline on the sew
ing machine question, and we have
formed an alliance for offensive [im
poses against our peaceful home and
its happiness. A “small pox” sign
kept the “agents” away for two days,
but the milkmen and postmen also
forsook us, and we were forced to
take it down. Since (hen, hv keep
ing the doors doubly locked and us
ing a system of countersigns and
raps when members of the family
desired ingress or egress, the obtiu
sive visitors were kept at bay.”
Vain the hope hero entertained.
Even after expelling a “patent light
ning rod man'’ who had approached
him by climbing in at a window, and
having the window itself faced with
iron bars, the luckless liver in his
own house was doomed to suffer an
other pageant:
“My little hoy awakened me this
morning by exclaiming, 'Oh, papa,
come here to the window ; there is a
circus out here, and 1 want to see the
elephant.’ I did as requested, hut
what juvenile innocence had 11 ista
ken for a 'show’ was about a score of
lightning rod wagons with the horses
hitched to tny newly painted picket
fence. Reclining on my green and
grassy lawn were forty three light
ning-rod men, each with a sample of
his wares in one hand and a tight
note in the other for the unlucky
victim to sign il he could not pay
cash. While 1 was thinking what to
do, up drove seven sewing machine
men, each with a machine strapped
in the hind end of his wagon, and
O'
which they commenced to unload
shortly after coming to a halt. A
scuffing sound also emanated from
the fire place in the parlor at this
juncture, and upon investigation 1
found a life-insurance man tightly
wedged in the opening, head dnvn
ward. 1 do uot go to my place of
business to-dav—not a member of my
family stirred out of the house, and
now, at 10 o’clock I* m., I Tienr the
crowd outside, ai*d know that it has
not diminished.”
The end approaches rapidly now,
and the concluding passage of this
sad “Diary” shows the overtasked
mind breaking down at last under
a burden of misery greater than it
can bear:
“Three days in the house, and most
out of food. The Ictte.r-cai rier shov
ed a note fiom my employers through
the key hole this morning, which in
formed me l had been discharged for
shirking work and going to picnics.
I only smiled a sardonic smile as I
read it. The twins clamored for
milk last night, and I slipped out in
darkness to milk the cow. I found
a sewing-machine man tacking his
i cards on her ribs, her tail had been
pricked and docked, and a lightning
rod with a silver point extended
along its surface. She was as dry as
a powdef-liorn, and in returning to
the house 1 had to run the gauntlet
| of a dozen insurance men, and bare-
Ily escaped with my life. 1 can’t
j stand this much longer. My wife
says she always knew she made a
! mistake marrying me. To night I
| will end this miserable existence. If
1 I could only go out West and buy a
farm, but even then I would soon be
swept by the invading hordes of
agents into the Pacific.”
Mr. Jones’ story— the story of life
in One’s House—is told. The Lead
er reporter’s language, in poweiful
allusion to the aquatic death scene, is
too beautiful to be improved—“He
sleeps perchance beneath the waters
of tlie canal, unmindful of the wealth
laden galleons of trwle that pass and
repass over him. He heeds not the
proud ship, laden with hoop poles,
as she careens before the gale that
strikes her in the stem and forces
her ahead; nor the curses of her
commander at the mule for allowing
slack rope to accumulate on his heels ”
Artificial Eyeh. —A French pa
per gives a detailed account of the
manufacture of false eyes in Paris,
from which the curious fact appears
that the average sale per week of
eyes, intended for the human head,
amounts to 400. One of the leading
dealers of this article carries on the
business in a saloon of great magnifi
eence. His servant has but one eye,
and the effect of any of tbe eyes
wanted by customers is conveniently
tried in this servant’s bead. The
charge ia about $lO per eye. For
tbe poor there are second-hand visual
organs, which have been worn a time,
and exchanged for new ones.— Ex.
