Blessings they bring us, As lovely as brief,. They meet us when happy, And leave us in grief. Hues of the morning, Tinging the sky, Come on the sunbeams, And off with them fly. Shadows of evening Hang soft on the shore Darkness enwraps them, ’ We see them no more. So life’s better moments, In brilliance appear, Dawnffig in beauty, 1 Our journey to cboer. Round as they linger, Like shadows of even ; Would that wo, like them. Might melt into Heaven. To My Mothei;- BY CORIBLLB. I love to see thee sitting there, Quietly in that old arm chair; With folded hands, and half-closed eye, Dreaming of days long, long, gone by; Treading again in Fancy’s glow The pleasant paths of “Long Ago.” Thy hand is weak and shrivelled now And time has furrowed deep thy brow; Has dimmed the lustre of thine eyes, And blanch’d ihy lips with many sighs; Blown from thy cheek its roses fair, And whitened o’er thy silken hair. Thy hand is weak with toil for me. But mine it strong to work for thee; ihiab eye is dim with watchful tears, — 111 he thy sight in failing years; My arm shall thy faint steps support, Make smooth thy path, and cheer thy heart- Thou gav’st me life and all I have, I'll nourish thee e’en to the grave; None can replaoe'if it be gone Tho love, the care, so long my own; To craving spirit earth doth lend, But only once so true a friend. ’Twas thou who cheered my life with love, And watched my heart like.brooding dove; Who taught me pleasing voice to shun, And showed how honor’s fruits were won; And if men wisdom find in.mo, ’XU hut reflected here from the. jn - Thine eye could trace some good in me, When others only ill could see; And when roy latest hope was gone, Thy stronger spirit love mo on; ifsuece3S;aUendn»y path, vpis but in answer to thy' faith. ’Twas thou in infancy and youth Taught mo of God, and Heaven, and Truth-, And if this willful; wayward heart, V E’er finds in Heaven its better part, p-Motherl it will be thy prayer That turned my wandering.footstops there The True’Woman. Iter name shines not in bannered fields, Where rights and wrongs so boldly war; Nor rings her voice in any cause Which men and women battle for ; Yet in her- presence, subtle, sweet, You long to kneel and kiss her feet. No wondrons romance wreathes her life; Nor hath she led a martyrtrain; Nor beautiful nor rich is she, But poor—and some would call her plain; Yet in her two dear eyes you see A beauty shining constantly. No silken robe enfolds her form; N o dainty leisures hath her hands; Her jewels are a single ring; A ribbon binds her hair’s smooth bands; , Yet in her garment’s simple grace H,er boul’s regality yon trace. No gift hath she to shake and thrill A thankless world with warbled songs; And art that wakes' the ivory keys To other bands than hers’ belongs ; Yet in her words of tender cheer A richer music charms the ear. She walks fti bumble ways of life That lead oft times through gloom and shade And cares and crosses not a few, Are on her patient shoulders laid, Yet smiles and drinks the bitter cup, And keeps her brave eyes lifted up. And homely ways she wreathes with grace, Harsh duty turus to loving zest; And cheery hopes and steadfast will* Aro at her side in work and rest; Yet never dreams she who can spy The angel looking from her eye. A Wife to her Husband. * If I h»vs sought by art the gifts Os nature to supply; . Or, ever asked for beauty’s charm, ’Twas but to jileaso thiev'eye.

At neta- Gilbert, of Charleston, New York Sun describes a i a Wutiful and modest young lady Hwenty-three, with a slight tinge Wi .frican blood in her veins, Daf umit.ted 3ijit for SIO,OOO dam agayagajst ike New York and Chark td Steam Ship Company for refusing ior a state-room on the Mnnhaiti A MISCEJLZ&JVXQVSn Parlor Games. Although the calendar tells of spring, and the days are percepti bly longer, the beating snow on our wiudow-panes speaks loudly of win ter and, furs and cracking ffres are as much in order as ever. Still night follows hastily on the heels of day, blinding the world wilh his dusky cloak; still the boys and girls, driven in early by the darkness, cluster about the hearth with lesson and needle, or, weary of both, yawn loudly and demand to be amused. “What shall we do, mother, what shall we play?” perplexing question oft limes to poor mother, who has no frisk left in her, and wonders why the children can’t be content to sit still as older people do. Dear madam they can’ll You might as well ask your cider-barrel to stop working. Their legs and arms are all a twitch with the insatiable fermentation of their age; their brains are electric with growth. Let them have their fun now at the proper season, and they won’t be half so likely to take it bye and bye at the wrong. Let them act charades, get up tableaux, dance about, “dress up. Never mind it it does pull the room to pieces; or if the comtort of on in valid or busy person is invaded by the noise, let them play games, of which there are plenty neither bois terous nor difficult. They will en joy them all the more if you will lay down your work for a while and take a part with them. There is “piano kaleidoscope,” for instance, which will keep a group of little ones enchanted and happy for a whole evening. The lid of the piano is raised and folded over so as to form, with the help of the piano cover, a long, triangular passage. The children stand at one end of this peeping in} the other is brightly lit by a gas branch or a couple of candles, and Mother holds up at the opening a series of gay objects, such as flowers, lamp-mats, bead-baskets, which, triply reflected in the polish wood, make a series of beautiful effects', like those of a kaleidoscope. Or there is the “Game of Statues.’* Everybody is a statute, excepting two who' enact a showman and a would-be purchaser. The show man must be the “funny one” ol the family. He describes the statues, turn then round, gives the prices, indicates their be3l points, regrets that this one’s noso was a little in jured in packing, and that one got dirty on the voyage and hasn’t had its face washed yet; the statues meantime standing perfectly still, with immovable faces. Any one who moVes or laughs is punished by a forfeit. “Menagerie” is another nice game especially if there happens to be a family gathering or a little party. The older people arrange themselves as audience, one person acts show man, ! the rest are put out of the room and enter one by one. The shop man stales that he has the fti’esl collection of beasts ever seen; brought together at Vast expense from every quarter of the piobe; and including every animal tkftt went in to Noah’s ark. What would the gentleman (or lady) like to see? The visitor is pretty sure to choose some out'of-lhe-wiy creature tike a crocodile or gorr/tla in hopes of pos ing the showman, who prolongs the conversation a little, and , manages to extract * sketch of the animal and his ways. After which be draws aside the curtain, behind which a loooking-glass is hidden, and fom, who has demanded the “chimpanzee—a troublesome crea-‘ tare, always in mischief, a dread-! ful glutton; nails—qf course they’re dirty —he never cleans then?,”—he sees his own face! And Fiona, who has asked for the porcupine, as a “cross, sulky creature,* good for nothing but to make pincushions,” is scandalized by a similar reflefc liytil Well managed, this game can be made very amusing. & ! “Musical fright** is noisier. A row of chairs—one less in number than the persons playing—is ranged down the middle of the room. Someone plays the piano, while the children dance in a circle. Suddenly the music stops and the players run for the chairs. One person of course fails to secure any, and is counted out of the gatnq. Alter each chair is withdrawn till only one chair and two players are left; the one who gets that is declared winner. > “Russian scandal” is played in this wise. One person takes an other out of the room and tells him a story. Player No. 2 calls out No. 3 and repeats the same story. No. 3 tells No. 4,and soon till all have heard it, when the last told rehearses the story aloud to aft the others, the version being generally widely dif ferent from the original, each per son having unconsciously added and left out something. In “Black Art” there must always be two confederates who know the secret. < )nc goes out of the room while the rest choose some object to be guessed. The person out then re-enters and is asked : “Is it this ?” “Is it that ?” till finally the right ar ticle is named, and immediately to the"surprise ol all he answers “yes.” The apparent witch craft lies in the fact that confederate No. 2 names first some black object and then the thing chosen. “Charade.” Three or lour per sons in the secret go into a room by themselves. The rest of the company enter one by one. The word of the charade is “Mimic.”— No one speaks, but everything done by the new-comer the rest imitate exactly till he guesses the word ; after which he lakes his place among the actors, and the next comes in. “The Reviewers.”—This is a game for older boys and girls.— Each is furnished with pencil and paper, and begins by writing the name of an imaginary book on the top line, folding it once, and passing it to the next player, who adds a second name and an “or,” nud hands it on, Each then write the author’s name, a motto, an “opin ion ol the press,” and a second “opinion of the press.*’ The papers are then opened and read- -thecon tents ruuning something in this wise : Dilly Ducker; or, The Fiend of the Hills. By Penelope Perry. Motto : “I heard a little lamb cry, ‘Bah !! ” “Sweet—soothing—satisfactory.” Home Register. “A book calcnlated to make the American eagle screech proudly and flap hi3 wings.” —Kenntbunlc Argus. “Word and question,” is also played with pencil and paper.— Eeach player writes a word and a question on two different slips of paper, folds them, and lays them in two baskets provided for the pur- Eose. They are then distnbpute ap-hazard, and every person writes a rhyming answer to the question he draws, in which the word is in troduced. This game gives greai opportunity for clever people to snow their cleverness. We con clude wilh a list of amusing forfeits : Tho forfeit-payer asks everybody in the room to do her a favor. She must answer three questions without smiling. His eyes are bandaged, and he guesses who feeds him with spoonfuls of water. To put your sister or friend “through the keyhole.” (This is done by writing the names on paper and passing ttem through.) Answer “no” to twenty questions. Walk round the room aud kiss your own shadow without laughing. Two persons frsm opposite sides of the room are to meet aud shake hands blindfold. To imitate a donkey to the best of your pow ers. To be puil up to auction and bid for. When the forfeit-bolder thinks the price sufficient, he restores the forfeit. Answer five questions without saying “yes” or “so.” Oaths are the weapons a coward wields. A Firm friend—An obstinate Quaker. The pitable plea of the defendant in a breach of promise case in lowa is that he “was in earnest about marrying the girl until he got that rheumatism.” Mr. Jones told his wife, the other day, that if she did not take care, he should lose his temper with her; she replied, she was glad to hear of it, and only hoped he would never find it again. As old Van SUroomps was giving his youngest, who was inclined to be la zy, a good cowhiding, the young boy cried out: “Oh! don’t, (adder, it makes me smart!” “Dat’s shooost vat I vanls,” srid the old man, as he whacked away with renewed vigor. The leading journals of the city of New York are the World, the Flesh and the Devil. The first is edited by Manton Marble, the second by James Gordon Bennett and the third by Horace Greeley. The British Museum is enriched by the acquisitions of two specimens of a mammoth crab which nourishes in the waters of Japan. It measures ten feet between the tips of the claws, and the jaws themselves are six fefel in length. C?' Proper names have caught the Darwinian theory very bad. The name of the Algerine insurrec tionist, which reached here as Mak aroni has developed into Mokroni and Monkrain, it is thought to be on the way up to Muggins. The recent explorations in Jerusa lem have excited great interest a rtiong the fraternity of Free Masons throughout Ihe world, on account of the discovery of what are belie ved to be “Masons* marks” on a considera ble number of the immense founda tion stones recently uncovered uncer the debris of one of the ancient tem ples of that city. [ Speaking Slightly of Women- At a recent dinner in New York, at which no ladies were present, a man in responding to a toast, “Wo men,” dwelt almost solely on the frailty of the sex, claiming that the bast among them were little better than tiro worst, the chief difference being their surroundings. At the conclusion of the speech, a gentle man present rose to his feet and said: “I trust the gentleman in the ap plication of his remarks, refers to his own mother aud sisters, not ours." The effect of this most just and timely rebuke was overwhelming ; and the maligner of women was covered with confusion and shame. This incident serves an excellent purpose in prefacing a few words on this subject. Os all the evils prevalent among men, we know of none more blight ing in its moral effect than the tend ency to speak slightly of the virtue of woman. Nor is there anything in which young men are so thoroughly mistaken as in the low estimate they form of the integrity of women— not their own mothers and sisters, thank God, but of others, who, they forget, are somebody else’s mothers and sisters. Plain words should be spoken on this point, for the evil is a general one, deep rooted. If young men are sometimes thrown in the society of lewd women, they have no more right to measure all other women by what they see ol these than they would have to estimate the charac terof honest and respectable citizens by the developments of crime in our Police courts. Let young men remember that their chief happiness in life depends upon their laith in women. No worldly wisdom, misanthropic phi losophy, no generalization can cover or weaken this fundamental truth, It stands like the record of God himself—for it is nothing less than this—and should put an everlasting seal upon lips that are wont to spsak slightly of women. WHO INVENTED SAFETY-VALVES. It is usually supposed that the Frenchman Papin was the inventor of the safety-valve, which he first ap plied about 1082 to his digester in such a way that it was kept closed by a lever and movable weight, so that the pressure on it could be va ried by slidihg the weight along the lever; in this way he kept the valve in place, and could regulate the steam-pressure, so that it could not surpass the limit to which the valve was charged. It appears now that Papin was only the inventor of the improve ments just mentioned, but that fifty years before, the German, Glauber (who contributed many valuable ad ditions to the mechanical depart ment of chemistry) used safety valves. Ih his treatise on philosoph ical furnaces, translated into Eng lish in 1651, he describes the modes by which he prevents retorts and stills from bursting, from excessive pressure. A conical valve was fit ted, being ground air-tight to its seat, and loaded with a “cap of lead,” so that when the' vapor became too “high, 1 ’ it slightly raised the valve and a portion esqaped, the valve then closed again of itself, “being pressed down by tbe leaden cap and so kept close.” The idea was followed up by oth ers, and we find in the Art of Distil lation, by John French, published soon afterward in London, the fol lowing concerning the action of safe ty-valves: “Upon the top of a stup pie (valve) there may be fastened some lead, that if the spirit be too strong, it will only heave up thestup ple and let it fall down again.” Tbe fact must not be lost sight of that the word steam was unknown at that time, being of later coinage. In its place we find in every old book the words vapor, spirit, smoke, ayre and even ghost, whence the modern word gas, for aeriform bodies, is no doubt derived. A Nbw Credit System.— A cer tain merchant in Austria was re cently met at the door of his store by an honest-looking Frenchman, an entire stranger to him, who asked credit for a barrel of flour. ‘I can pay half ze cash down and ze bal ance next Saturday, sure.’ The merchant, without hesitation, turn ed to one of his clerks, and, with a kindly smile on the would-be owner of the barrel of flour, said : This good man wants to get trusted .for a barrel of flour, he’ll pay ‘half down and the rest next Saturday. Pll risk him ; he’s good as gold ; open a fresh barrel; weigh out half, deliver it in good shape at.his house put the barrel away safely, and take it down next Saturday when he pays the rest; never refuse to trust an hon est looking man for bread.* It was done ; the money was paid, and the-French gentleman departed, re joicing in an abundance of flour and unlimited credit.
