A FLOWER FOR THE DEAD
Von placed thie flower in her hand, yon «ay ?
Th'* pure pale rose in her hand of clay ?
Meihinks c<>u!d she lift her pealed eye->
They would meet yoor own with a, grieved
•urpnse 1
She ha* been vonr wife for many a rear,
When cloods hong lew and when skies were
clear ;
A* your fee* she laid her life’s g'ad spring.
And her summer’s glorious blossoming.
Her whole heart went with the hand yen
won ;
If its warm love waned as the years went an.
If it chilled in the grasp of an icy spell,
W’hat was the reason ? I pray von tell.
Yon cannot? I can I and beside her bier
My soul most speak, and your soul must
hear.
If she was not all that she might have been.
Hers was the sorrow, yours the sin !
W hoae was the fault if she did not grow
Like a rose in the summer ? Do you know ?
Does a lily grow when its leaves are chilled ?
Does it bloom when its roots are winter
killed ?
for a little while, when yon first were wed.
Your love was like sunshine raund her shed;
Then a something crept between yon twa,
You led where eha could not follow you.
With a man's firm tread yon wont andesme ;
Yon lived for wealth, for power, for fame ;
Shut into her woman’s work and ways,
She heard the notion chant your praise.
But ah ! Yeu had drspfwd her hand the
while.
W’hat time had you for » kis*. a smi!%J
You two. with the same roof overhead,
Were as far apart as the sundered dead.
You in your manhood's strength and prime ;
She—worn and faded before her time.
Tis a common story. This rose, you say
You laid in her pallid hand to-day ?
When did yon give her a flower beforeT
All, well ] What matter, when all is o'er?
Yet stay a moment ; you’ll wed again.
I mean no reproach ; ’tis the way of men.
But I pray you think when some fairer (ace
Shines like a star from her wonted place
That love will starve if it is not fed;
’1 bat true heart* pray for their daily bread
Julia C. R. Durr.
A llird Combat.
That trim, ger,tie-looking, droh-colnred
bird, erroneously called turtle dove by dwell
ers in the United States, generally deemed
so utterly innocent and pure that to kill it
for the table or any other use ia branded as
heinouß in the extreme, is not so innocent
after all It# moaning, sad-sounding voire
i* a mockery and a cheat. It# ■oft, dark
eyes ure a sham ; its sober Quaker garb ia
calculated to decrive ; its timid movements
are not to f»e trusted When it has once
been insulted or injured by one of its kind
the dove becomes as cruel and outrageously
leurtlessas any murderer can be. Some
years ago I witnessed a fieht between two
female moaning doves which, for utter b-tr
batonsness, could not be exceeded I was
angling in a brook for sun perch, hall
prone on a grassy bank, lost in a brown
study, with a cigar between my lips, when I
happened to see a dove alight on a gnarled
bough of a plane-tree a few yards distunt.
Immediately it beguu to coo in that dole
fully plaintive strain *o well known to every
lover of nature, at d was soon joined by a
male, who perched himself within a foot or
two of her. i espied their nest, not yet fiu
isbed. in the lork ol an iton-wood near by.
The birds made verv expressive signs to each
other with their head# by a series of bow
nnd sidewise motions, ol which I understood
enough to know that some intruder was nea* -
—perhaps they meant me The fish were
not biting any too we I, but the shade was
pleasant uud the grass fragrant, the sound of
the water very soothing, and the flow of the
wind steady and cooling, so I did not care
to move just to humor the whim of a pair o*
billing doves It proved, however, alter all
that I wus not the cause ol alarm. Another
female dove presently dropped like a hawk
from a dark, dense mass of loaves above the
pair, and strock the first on tne back with
beak and wings. , A fight ensued, witnessed
with culm interest by myself and the mule
dove. At first the combatants struggled
desperately together on the bough, fiercely
heating euch other will) their wings, and
plucking out the feathers from bieust and
neek, all the time uttering h>w querulous
notes, differing from anything I had ever
before heard. Pretty swn they both fell off
the bough, and came whirling down up-m
tbe ground, where they continued the battle
with constantly increasing fury, their eves
fail ly flushing fire, and cutting and thrash
ing with their beaks like swordsmen. Blood
began to show itself about their heads, and
in places their necks were quite bare of
featliers. When at lust, one of them oecutne
so exhausted that further stru-jgle was im
possible, the other proceeded to take ils
stand upon its helpless opponent, and would
have quirkly made an end of it bad I not
interfered. The vanquished bird was minus
an e.e, and" was unable to fly lor some min
utes The secret of the battle was jealousy.
The male sut by and wutched in a nonchalant
way until it was all over, when be very lov
inglv strutted np to the victorious dove and
began cooing in a low soothing tone. From
that day to this I have repudiated the figure

I had a heap of trouble last Christmas,
and I’ll tell you how it happened :
Dekin Jones giv a eandv-pullin’, and I
*•> a invite, and over I goes.
Sister Poll and 1 went over togethef, and
when we got to Jones’ the house was chnck
lull. Dog my cats ef thar were room to
turn round.
Thar was Suzs Harkin 3 —she's as big as a
skinned boss—and sii other Harkins and
Simmonses, and Pedigrews, ih«- schoolmaster
a"d his gal beanies the old d'kin and the
dekiouss. and enough little dekiii# to set up
a half u dozen young folks in family bus)
ness.
Well, bunchy the pot begun to hile, and
Ike fun begun. We *ll got our plates ready,
and put flour on our hands to keep the candy
from stick in’ and pitched into pullin’.
Wasn’t it fun? 1 never ,ri» sich laffi ’
and euttin’ up in all my born daze.
1 ten !e a candy bird for Km rilrnmon*.
Me mid her < Xpert to trot in double harm s*

for me.
Teen we got to throwin’ candy balls into

kitchen Tilt everything upon the place, wus
gormed over with candy
I pot a pine bench, *Dd Em Simmons sot
close to me.
Suae Harkins —eon’otind her pictor—
throwed a candy hall chock into my ze.
I made a bulge to run after her and herd
sum'hin rip.
My stats alive ! Wasn’t I pickled ?
1 looked around, and thar was the gable
end of my bran new britches tick in to the
pine bench.
I bteked ap agin tbe wall sorter crawfish

“Kut,” said siater Poll, "what’s the mut

‘ Sut,’’ sez F.m, ‘‘come away from that
waif: you’ll get all over grease.”
“IsM her grease I” sez I, an I set down on
a washboard that was lying am-* a tub,
feelin' worse than an old m i 1 at a weddin'.
Party soon I fait somethin’ bu t, and
purty S' on it hurt agin.
leel whiz! I jumped ten. fe. t hi, kick'd
over the tub, out fl w old Jones’ Christ inn

Proofs of Immortality.— It cannot be that
earth is man’s only abiding place. It cannot
be that our life is a bubble cast upon the
ocean ol eternity, to flout a moment upon its
surface, and tlien go down into nothingness
and darkness fo ever. Else, why is it that
the high and glorious aspirations which leap
hke angels trom the "temple of our hearts are
forever wandering abroad unsatisfied ? Why
is it that the rainbow and the cloud come
over us with a beauty that is not of earth,
umi then pass off and leave us toWinuse on
their tailed b.vhnefls? Why is it that the
stars which hold their festival around the
midn ght throne, are set above the grasp of
our liuii ed lacnlties, lor. ver mocking ns with
their unapproachable glory? And finally,
why is it that bright forms of human beauty
are presented to the view, and then taken
trom us, leaving the thousand streams of the
aflectioos to How back in Alpine torrents
upon our hearts ? We are born for a higher
destiny than that of earth. There is a realm
where the star* will he spread out before us
like the islands that slumoer on the ocean,
and where the beautiful beings that here
pus# before us like visions will btay in our
presence forever.

Sewing Machine
Is now generally concerted to be tbe best in
use. and thousands have been sold to delight
e<] purchasers all over the country. It has
a vertical feed, runs at a high rate of speeit.
which, combined with its peculiar feed,
enables the operator to turn the work at any
angle while the machine is in lull motion,
without changing the tension or length of
stitch, consequently it can easily do in a
given time one-third more work than any
rotary or four motion feed. It excels in
hemming, Idling, tucking, braiding, cording,
binding, quilting, ruffling, etc , and for all of
which it has attachments especially adapted.
It uses a shuttle which holds a large amount
of thread, and which gives an even tension
in the most simple manner. For sale by
