There is a little mystic deck.

That beateth oil. amt beatelh on,
Float morning until e en.
And when the soul is wrapped in sleep,
And heareti net a sound.
It ticks and licks the livelong night,
A lid never runneth down.
O, woudr-ms is tliat w. rk of art
Which knells the parting hour!
But art ne'er formed in r mind cancelled,
The life clock's magic power.
Noi sol in gold, tor deck id with ems,

When life's deep si ream mid beds ot flowers.
All stdi and .-only glides.
Like t! e wavelet , s'.f, with a gentle beat.
It wains of pass ng ‘id'-s.
When ttin .' in! darkness gathers o’er.
And hope's b i . lit \ isioos floe
Like the sullen stioke ol the no fill and oar,
It breatheth heavily.
When passion nerves the warrior’s arm

Though heeded not In- tearful sound,
The knell is de. p and strong.
Such is the cinch ti n 1 no moires lite.
Ot flesh and spirit Mended;
And tline 'twill inn »ithin the breast

They cannot endure a dull, listless life,
and if home is a dull sordid place, with
snaj pish, garrulous parents, ’tis natural,
to suppose they will seek other and j
brighter circles, and are too often thus
drawn into the whirlpool of sin. Ami
yet it should not he a constant scene of
amusement, and parents should bring all
their talent energy into action to com
bine the pleasant and useful in perfect
harmony. Teach the m the us fulness of
living, and all that is uprigl t and nol le
try to divide ] * . and the evil and vicious
exterminate. Eve n strive to teach them
that “Life is earnest, life is real,” and
there is something more to live for than
the present. Let their lives lie enabled
by an ambition brighter than that of
show or gain. Go with me into the
homes around you, and if yon are an ob
server, you w ill see the prevailing n ode
of training. (I tl < uld not say training,
for how few are trained, but let grow
up.) Notice that lovely young girl—
here is a nature, if properly moulded,
would attach an honor to her name and
sex. With proper training she could be
made a bright star, shedding light and
brilliancy throughout woman’s sphere,
and an ornament to society.— Not as a
mere bntteifly worshiping at the shrine
of the gedess fashion; not a lighlheartc and,
frivolous creature, inly adding brilliancy
to the circle in which she moves by the
number of her jewels and the flash of
her rilbrns; not the twittering, simper
ing beauty whose soul is so shallow its
ripple is heard and held in repugnance
by all sensible, whole-souled men and
women; not she who uses the gift of
beauty God Las given her to entrap and
draw the sin pie to bow at her feet, who
de secretes all that is noble in her race, and
profanes the gift of God, lut a noble
hearted wemi ri. one wh< has ambition
higher than the low degrading one of
dress and fashion one who knows and
feels—
•■lt is not all of life to live,
Nor allot death to die "
What advantage could she betosocicty,
and what, does she live flit' ? Can that
fooling, reckless life she is leading be
advantageous to her or any living crea
ture? The noble men of our country
turn from hot in content pt, and for a life
partner she would be the last they would
choose. W hat would home, the place
where noble thoughts and aspirations
find birth, and our hotter self is drawn
out, be w ith such a light brained com pan

A man, Andrew Steadman, who buys

The tongue of slander is never tied.
Hi otic way or another it manages to keep

times it. drops hom y and sometimes it
j drops gall, I 1 is bitter tow and th. n
sweet. It insinuates, or assails directly,
according to the circumstances. It will
i hide a curse under a smooth word, and
l administer poison in the place of love.
Like death, it “loves a shining murk.”
And it. is never so voluble and eloquent
us when it can blight the hopes of the
j noble, soil the reputation of the poor,
break down the character of the brave
; and strong.
, And much of this vile wor kis done in

consciousness. Where.,, the holier and
I diviner cur work, the more it is done in
fearful uurouseiousir ss. So it is writ
lit n : “'I he wicked (let win n no mart pur

death. This remark was repeated by
other parties until it reached the ear of
Watlien. Time passed until iiie'gOth <>f
July, when the parties met, in a groovy
store. Wat In n rushed out and seized a
rock, which he threw back at Harrison.
Harrison then drew his revolver and fired
a shot, which pierced the heart of \\ a
