Noiseless as the dawn Through my casement window streams, Tender as the glow of evening, Comes my summer-tinted dreams— Tinged like dew of morning With hues of-early glory, Whispering out a language, Of hope’s enraptured story. Unpresaged as the news That flashes, electfio over wires, ASThou slumber me, Hhd star by starlHqures ; S "Comes golden wealth of promises— Wealth of sunshine gleaming In upon my weary soul; I wake—l’m only dreaming. Bright visions crowd my brain, And angels stoop in love, To bathe my fevered blow, With nectar from above. Broad harvest fields stretch out, In plenteous beauty beaming, In every earthly pleasure blessed, I wake, and find I’m dreaming. Faces that in years gone by, Had joyous looked on me, Come hovering hear my couch, AmM greet them glad and free. A mother’s voice, and smile, and face, In its old familiar seeming, Is still the same—l-start! I wake—alas ! I’m only dreaming. Hopes of years that still remain, Ir. the future yet unborn, Have the veil from oil’ them taken, * I see a spring-encompassed morn, The love that I have lavished And found, how vain the rapt es teeming, Assumes a fondness all returned ; I wake—alas! I’m only dreaming. So on and on, time speeds Its ever winging flight, And J dream and dream of day, And wake to find it night. But when I fall asleep in Christ A vision of his love redeeming Will burst in glory on the sight, I’ll wake, and find, I’ve not been dreaming. * CA LL ME WHEN BREAKFAST IS HEADY. A SONG OF THE GIRL OF TIIE PERIOD. 1 Call me when Breakfast is ready— O mother! don’t call me before : Do not deny tnc the pleasure Of moderate rest I implore. Eight hours of sleep are too little For delicate maidens like me Dearer, by far, is my pillow Than cup of the daintiest tea. Mother, I cannot endure it, This getting up early’s a bore— Call me when breakfast is ready, Oh! please do not call me before. II Call me when breakfast is ready— O mother! don't call mo too soon, Shopping, of course, needs attention, But that can lie done before noon. I Talk of the folly of fashion, I do not consider it so: Parties must not be neglected, And style is important you know. Mother.! it makes me so nervous To think of you step at my door: Call me when breakfast is reiidy, Oh! please do not call m3 before. 111 Call mo when breakfast is ready— Oh ! don’t call me early, I pray. Doctors advise to be quiet, My spine is affected, they say. Sleep is a potent elixer, And better than drugs or the knife ; Why, then, so much in a hurry, Since rest is the solace of life? Mother, do have some compassion. And chide my late rising no more : Call tnc when breakfast is ready, O ! please do not call me before. IV Call mo when breakfast is ready— O mother 1 I think I’ve been told, , Multitudes struggle for riekes, And barter their comforts for gold. Hypocrites often rise early— Their motives are perfectly plain : Sundays they always sleep later, 15c cause they have nothing to gain. Mother! 1 cannot endure it, This getting up early’s a Imre— Call mo when breakfast is ready, But please do not call me before —Hearth and Home. mam • • mam .— [communicated.] Mess. Editors : Spread Oak Grange meets at 2 o’clock a. m., on Friday be fore the fourth Sunday in each month. On our last meeting day we had but little work to do, and we held what we term an experience meeting, each mem ber telling his success or failures of the present year. The meeting was an in teresting one, eaelt brother giving his plan ami mode of cultivation. Some few planted corn on stubble land, which proved a failure; some planted corn after cotton, which was a success. Each member present gives a favorable report of their crops. Will make corn enough for tho coming year. Cotton looks very well. Potatoes and cane are very good. Our Grange speaks of sowing largely in wheat and oats this fall, and planting less cotton a ltd more corn, and if we can succeed in running that channel, I think we will soon be able to live and board at home. Granger. July 30th, ’76. THE LOST SATCHEL. She came from Bristol, and when she got off the train she discovered that her big satchel had not come on with the baggage. She flourished her check under the baggage master’s nose, and loudly demanded “that satetml,” and after a long hunt lie was force® to say: Madame, there is some mistake. I’m sorry, but the satchel is sure to come on the next train. Do 3'ou suppose I’m going to wait around here till to-morrow? she indig nantly responded, pushing the check under his eyes. You on and wa^^^Hfekurd it lo you, madam. a ‘bi'i uvo on my baek are in it, and Trrrgoing to have ’em or this road’ll git sued. He made another search, failed to find it, and said : It must have been left, but it is sure to come. Where’s the boss of this road ? she demanded, waving her chock around.. I’m going to sec if I am to be defrauded of a satchel chuck full of as good clothes as any woman of m3' age in Indiana ever put on. The man pointed down the depot, and she walked up to the ticket office and called for the agent. See here, mister, I want §4O or my satchel. I don’t know anything about 3 r our satchel, lie replied. You don’t eh? she said, throwing down the big brass check. What’s that? A check, madam. Yes, a check for 1113' satchel, and now that satchel can’t be found. It’s prob ably been stolen, but I know every thing in it. There was three chemies with ruffles around the top; one new night gown; two pairs striped stock ings darned in the heels; one gray dress which cost 28 cents a yard in Bristol; another night-gown torn in front: two check— It was detained and will lie here on the next train, he interrupted. But I am bound for Chattanooga, and don’t care for an)' of your next, trains! she snapped. Well, you will have to see some cue else; I have nothing to do with the baggage. I’ll sec someone else, young man. I’ll sec the man who bosses this road, and I’ll have my satchel or the pay for it, or i’ll have the whole crowd of you in jail. Turning away she caught sight of a policeman, and bearing down on him she said: Be you a police? Yes’in. Well, then, I want the railroad ar rested. They have stolen my satchel. Oh, I guess you'll find it all right, he replied. Baggage is frequently lost, but always turns up all right again. You have the check all right? Yc3, and I can remember every arti cle in it. There is a night gown torn in front, there is a bottle of hair iuvig oratorthat was never uncorked ; there’s one new night-gown with rutiles around the top; there’s two yards of flannel for my daughter’s baby ; there’s a wiiite envelope ; there’s a bottle of goose ilc; there’s— Olt, it will come along, interrupted the ollicer- And I’ve got to wait? Yes, or go on and let them send it. 1 ymn if I will! she said, pushing the check in his ear; 1 am going to have that satchel or the worth of it! I’d look purty landing in Chattanooga with these old duds on, wouldn’t I? Well, I can’t help you. Then I’ll help myself. The Wilkin sons never did let anyboly impose on 'em yet, and we shan’t ’low ic now. Site got a boy to show her up stairs to the general olliee, walked into the superintendent's room, and asked : Be you the boss of this road? I’m the superintendent, lie replied. You see that check? \Y el!, < lists my satchel chesiH satchel liain't here ; it’s lost. I want forty dollars r^Bwway. You’ll have to see tho baggage-mas ter, then, madam. I’ll see nobody! That satchel has been hooked as sure as you tire born, but I can identify it. 1 know every thing in it. There was a night-gown perfectly new, made of yard-wide goods; there was a night-gown with a hole in tho back; -there was a— At this moment tho baggage-master came in aud informed her that the lost satchel had been found under a great pile of trunks, and she arose and re marked : Well, that’s all right. Looks .to me there was a little suspicion, but the railroad wants to understand that 1 can stick up for ray rights with any body. 1 was bound to have that satch el or put the whole caboodle of you where you couldn’t break out. And parading up and down the de pot, with the big satchel under her arm, her oyo3 wore a look ol’ proud triumph. '—■ ^—— — In Bath Abloey, England is to be seen the following: "Here lies Ann Mann, ■Site lived an old ufttd and died an old Mann.” nr—i Field workers who happen to get snake bitten arc advised to apply kero sene oil to the wound. ’Tis said to be a certain cure. . COURTESY. Nowhere is well-bred courtos)', the lack of it, more .observable than in traveling. On the steamboat and in the cars the quiet observer readil)'.de tects those who have been educated under refined influences, or those who, without special cultivation, are pos sessed of native politeness. It is not education alone, nor wealth, nor higffi social position alone, nor costly tranj pings that make one a pleasant ing companion. There must ex™ a kindness of feeling toward strangers, a general recognition of equal rights iiijjjjg comforts and conveniences pro* jn®®Abr the puhiic, and a quickened of others. on a XoiinTc of scats in the cars, and persistently spreads his news paper, determiuatcly unconscious that others who have paid as much as lie has arc looking in vain for a seat, is as truly ill-bred as the country girl who noisily eats her pint of peanuts, scat tering the shells on seat and floor, re gardless of the annoyance she gives her neighbors. In this democratic count;) - we travel in public conveyances too much as though the) - were our own private carriages. llow often the elev enth and tweltli passenger in an omni bus, who know they have full claim to a seat, arc discomforted by the out spread garments, and immovable atti tudes and blank faces of those who may have eutered tho stage before him. Common civility demands that a move ment be made to give room until the complement is filled ; afterward courte sy and generosity will often prompt to attentions which justice may not re quire. It is surprising how much the, comfort and pleasure of any journey, whether long or short, is enhanced by these little nameless courtesies which arc offered instinctively and unoflici ously to stranger:;, by refined, well-bred travelers, aud persons in whom native tact and delicacy almost make up for the lack of the educating aud refilling influences of society. LORD MANDEVILLE AND HIS NEW YORK BRIDE. Lord Mandoville’s name is not un fre quently heard among the gossips, lie was sent over here by his family to get him away from a noted Italian coun tess, a woman of greater beauty than virtue, aud he was confided to the care of the lady who is now his mother-in law. .Site had been in England, and the guest of the Mauchesters. Could this lady have shown a greater zeal in his welfare than to have given him her daughter, Consuelo? And this, too, she knew that this noble boy had no ready cash for a wedding journey and bridal gifts, that all his expenses are paid (or unpaid) by loans from hia gen erous friends belonging to the Polo and Racket club -. Grundy says that not one of my lord’s relatives attended hia marriage, that is unrecognised by his family, and that even the bridal tour to Pelham Bridge was made in Colonel Jay’s coach, aud that the hotel bill for one night’s entertainment of $l5O is half unpaid. But Coifsuelo will be a duchess, some day, and the golden youth who lend my lord money now, will, by and by, be paid with interest in being the guest of one of the oldest and proudest families (on the husband’s side) in England. At present, Lord, at and Lady Mandcville are living in a furnished house on Fifth avenue, which was taken for two months by papa, and the youthful couple. If polo, racket, yachting, etc., can make a honeymoon pleasant, the Mantle villesare having a glorious time.—Now York letter to St. Louis Republican. SOMETHING QUITE SOFT. “Why, your hands feels soft as silk,” said I, as I shook hands with the wid ow. "Nonsense, Doctor,” she replied, “lle.-e with some of your flattery, are you? My hands are not as soft as 'your own this minute.” | "Why, your hand,” said I, “feels so soft I'll be afraid to squeeze it. 1 never felt any tiling so soft. Now, doctor, just listen at you again ! If you never felt anything as-softas my hand, and even'softer—much softer— you know it has been your own fault, and 1 thought the willow blushed as though sorry she had said it. Pray, said, I, becoming deeply inter, cited, what might L have felt that is softer than your hand? Ilu3h, now! You don’t know, of course. You arc very innocent, and then I could have sworn the widow was blushing. Upon my honor I don’t know, was my still more interested reply; won’t you toll mo or show me? No. you know I won’t tell you. Then show me, won’t you? I don’t like to. But you arc such a tease and such a dunce one must do al most anything to get ri l. of you. Ccrtai lily! And site took my haul miueingly in hers. Now shut your eyes, doitor. I closed my eyes in an instant. She lifted ray hau lup and up. I held my breath, aud, dear rea lor, before L sus pected what slut was about, she had placed it gently upon—my head. At Elizabeth, N. J.

DOES ~FAmpS~PA¥ 7~ This is an important quesfWi’Hnd one that is atu’actinaßfceutiou of late. Wc extract the •'■Jijfty; from a con tribuiifouin Tdojrayh The idea that mon ey is the suily -real or desirable com pVjnsatiou for physical ornamental la- Dior, or for the cares and anxieties inci .de.nt to Imuran life, and hence when u make an ac emulation of mom™ the grand object iff life and fail to reali? our ideal, _ v-x, are apt to think our ci forts a failure. I well njtonnliiM more than fort; horses and sheep, had reared a large family of children and was fYee from debt—grumbling to vny father about tho hard times, saying that it cost him so much to live that ho couldn't 111: ke anything. J well recollect the peculi;.; expression that broke over his count.; nance as he evidently for the first time got the idea through his wool that his living was worth anything, when my father asked him if he didn’t “make’’ his living. This man had enjoyed the good things of life in profusion, pro tected by the laws, surrounded by so cial privileges, no gripings of poverty for to-day or anxieties for to-morrow, yet all these counted for nothing. If a small balance was lound upon the right side of tho ledger, it was just so much made by living through the year ; but if Uie balance was on the wrong side ; he had not only lived in vain, but as Artomus Ward said of Jell'. Davis, that it would have been so much money in his pocket if he had died last year. If wc wc to lake tiffs view, 1 graiit we shall realize rather small “iiuy" for farming operations generally. But is money all, or even the most desirable compensation? The value of our priv ileges would be better appreciated if deprived of them. Robinson Crusoe was not satislied when ho owned all (he land that joined him. “Our lines.have fallen to us in pleasant places." Al most every hillside and valley is dotted with its school house ; in ever) - hamlet the church spire points heavenward; colleges and seminaries are endowed in every State; books and newspapers abound ; every community lias its as sociations or -organizations for mutual assistance and instructfbn, such as li braries, lyccarms, farmers clubs, aNrrl- Ciiltiiral societies, etc., the whole backs 1 up by health) - public sentiment that allows each individual to stand upon Ids own merits and pass for what lie is worth, rendering these privileges avail able alike to all, rich and poor. buTLd uFahomesFead. The feeling that )'ou are settled an 1 fixed will induce you to work to improve your farm, to plant orchards, to set out shade trees, to inclose pastures, to build comfortable out houses, and each sue cessivo improvement is a bond to bind you still closer to your homes. This will bring contentment in the family. Your wives aud daughters will fall in love with the country your sons will love home better than grog shops, aud pro fer farming to measuring tape or profes sional loafing, and you will be happy in seeing the contented and cheerful faces of your families. Make your home beautiful, convenient aud cheerful!, and your children will love it above all oth er places; they will leave it with regret, think of it with fondness, come back to it joyfully, seek their chief happiness around their home firesides, Women and children need more than meat, brrad and raiment; more than acres of corn and cotton spread out all around them. Their love for the boun tiful must lie satisfied. Their taste must be cultivated : their sensibilities humored, not shocked. To accomplish this good end homo must ho made love ly, conveniences multiplied, comfort t provided and cheerfulness fostered. There must be both sunshine and shade, luscious fruit and fragrant flowers, as well as corn and cotton, l’he mind and the field must be cultivated; aud then intelligence and contentment will he the rule instead of the exception. Seek to, improve and beautify your homesteads, for with this good work comes contentment. [communicated.] Mess. Editors : “Unity” in your la 4 issue suggested the names of gentle men to represent us in the next legis lature, who . for integrity aud moral worth stands very high in the estima tion of the people of Jefferson county. The people know and honor and love them, aud like "Unity,” I think the olliee should seek the man, aud not the man the office. But how is it that “Unity” can sug gest names, and yet if others do so they are termed wirc-wotkers, and as pitting out feelers? Can’ I not name men who would ably represent us, and be ns honest in it as "Unity.” I hope so, and therefore will merely ask the ques tion, llow would Col. Jus. Stapleton and Col. M. A. Evans fill the bill? They tilled one bill to the satisfaction of many, the Liquf Bill. But 1 wilt not advocate their claims, for fear I come under the $5,00 rule.
