LITTLE VOICES.'
Do you ever fancy, mother,
Little voices in the air,
Swestly minging with each other
All around your easy chair ?
For the moment half forgetful
Of the charge, till regretful
Shadow on your face appears.
Think of the vanished years.
When alone at evening sitting,
When no other sound you hear,
Do you sometimes cease your knitting,
Fancying some one is near ?
lnX Jour eyeaa inMant closing,
. , .
I a '""I iuui uusy tares reposing,
Do you, starting, e'er behold
Little forms there, as of old?
One, the little wretch, it may be,
Who with bold, determined front,
Pitiful, conceited baby,
Launched at you his plain " I won't,"
And was quietly conducted
Where he was soon reconstructed ;
As by touch of magic wand,
Made obedient and fond.
Or whom once you sought with weeping,
And beneath a half-felled tree,
Found him on his hatchet sleeping,
As we men may napping see,
And poor child who like fate misses
Caught and covered him with kisses,
Wondrous in their quick relief
To each childish pain and grief.
When the early morn is breaking
Is your voice still ever heard,
As when it from slumber waking
Told us of the early bird ?
And forgive our thankless seeming,
If we sometimes, while halting,
Failed, then only to rejoice
At the music of your voice.
Ilappy they, who in their gladness
Shall no worse awakening find ;
Ilappy they, in joy or sadness
Who recall that voice so kind.
And that changeless love remember,'
And will still, till life's December,
If so far the current flows,
Keep it fresh beneath the snows.
A New Phase of Crime A mar
ried woman in Rrooklyu recently
adopted the boldest manner of carry
ing on an intrigue beneath her hus
band's roof, that we remember to
have seen. One evening at tea she
introduced to her husband a person
age under the name of Mrs. Cleve
land, who she said was an old school
mate of hersjind who was going to
stop with her a few days. When the
time came for retiring, the wife said
that, as the visiter was timid, and not
used to the noise of the ciry,she would
sleep with her, while the husband slept
with the children. This programme
continued for several days, when the
visitor who had enjoyed exceedingly
her visit to her friend and neighbor,
departed for home. On election day
the wife took advantage of her spouse
remaining at home, to have him as
sist her in getting carpets up. and
shaking the Fame preparatory to
cleaning the house for winter. Thus
on Wednesday morning, the house
was in the utmost imaginable coufu
sion. On the husband s return in
the'evening he found his wife, family
and household articles gone. Thurs
day developed the fact that the wife
had shipped her children to Norwalk,
Ct., to her husband's sister ; and she
took tickets for a tour westward with
the above-mentioned Mrs. Cleveland,
who turns out to be a yocng man of
effeminate characteristics. One of
the children remarked, on Mrs.Cleve
land's entering the house, she acted
something like a man; but it was not
noticed. The furniture, money and
valuables taken amount to nearly
four hundrtd dollars. The family
has enjoyed a good reputation, and
this unlocked for incident has shocked
the sensibilities of the neighborhood,
and afforded a topic for what is lo
cally known as "Orchard Gossip.
Without an Enemy. Heaven
help the man who imagines he can
dodge enemies by trying to please
everybody! If such an individual
ever succeeded we should be glad of
it not that we believe in a man go
ing through the world trying to find
beams to knock and thump his poor
head against, disputing every man's
opinions, fighting and elbowing and
crowding all who differ from him.
That, again, is another extreme.
Other people have a right to their
opinion, so have you; don't fall into
the error of supposing they will re
epect you less for maintaining it, or
any more for turning your coat every
day to match the color of theirs.
Wear your own colors in spitjj of
wind or weather, storm or sunshine.
It costs the vascillating and irrreso
lute ten times the trouble to wind, and
shuffle, and twist, that it does honest
manly independence to stand its
ground.
Quails are fast disappearing from
the prairies, even as far west as
Kansas. Sportsmen call for a law
against patching these birds with a
net.

THE STOLES CHERRIES:'
Frederick Secondfxjf Prussia paid
much attention to the raising of fruit,
and in his extensive greenhouses the
finest varieties were collated, so
that he might have enough all the
year round. One Christmas eve Ins
gardner brought him a branch con
taining a new variety op cherries;
and so large and luscious were fcthey
that the King, after' tasting, ,oneor
two, enclosed. Jbejfst luL-a handsome
box, and after he had written a note
to his wife who was then at one of
the royal castles in Berlin tied and
sealed it with his own seal. Then
sending for his page who it seems
had been all the while looking
through the keyhole he commanded
him to take the box and deliver it to
Her Majesty.
The page started, but being little
more than a boy, like all boys, he
was fond of cherries; and each step
of the way his mouth was wateiing
for the tempting fruit.
" If I could only cut a few," he
thought; but the box was sealed,
" I must have a taste;" and riding
into a by-path he dismounted from
his horse, hastily broke open "the
seal, ' and began to eat. One after
another was eaten, before he fairly
realized what he had done. What
should he say to the king? Then the
rogue tore up the note, and breaking
the box into small pieces, he hid
them in a deep snow-drift.
Returning home, he sought the

-lour mission was soon aecom-

v hen New 1 ear's day arrived,
ana tne queen and royal family came
to pay their respects to the kincr.
rreoericK wonaerea that nothing was
saia about the cherries; so after giv
ing several hints on the subject, he
asked her pointedly, " how she had
liked them?"
" What cherries ! I do not un
derstand."

had done; and he could not heln

GOOD ADVICE.
.Upon a very t important topic one
of car New York city exchanges
thus speaks:

; Other parties visit the gambling
nouses of thi3 or other cities, but
freely lose money; and then arrest
the gamblers and bring them before
the law to recover their money; like
the whining, sneaking, lubberly ba-
bies that they are. We have no
sympathy with these whining losers,
For years, the papers have cautibned
the public against such men and
places, yet every day some sod-corn
candidate, who thinks he is smart,
tries his hand, gets burned, and then
bleats worse than the bigt calf in
the pasture.
If the sharper who lives by his
wits is dishonest, the "innocent
countryman" who thinks himself
smart enough to beat him at a well
known game, and attempts it, is
equally so. Two men sit down to
play cards for money. Each is bound
to win if he can. Each would keep
the money; each plays with this idea
as the incentive. The best man wins
the other pleads the baby act, mops

blubbers like a lubber, and wants the

WI1S11E AV03IA!V'S POWER LIES
The true power of woman i the
resistless power of the affections. In
asserting this, am I attempting to
mask the great questions of our day
with " a glittering generality?" Am
I disposed to deny any lawful claim
wnicn woman may make lor a more
extensive Recognition of her rights,
or a larger field for her powers? No;
I am not doing any such think Let
Avorfta do Whatever her falsities can
achieve let her go wherever her in'
stincts demand if she truly follows
her instincts, I am sure she will not
go wrong. I am sure of this, also,
that wherever man may lawfully go
woman may lawfully go. Wherever
woman ought not to be, t is a shame
for a man, it is a shame for humani
ty to be. I inertly insist upon this,
that whatever woman may accom-
piisu iu me woria, witn nrain or
hands, will draw its vital efficacy, its
taiismanic virtue, irom the heart; and
that her strength, in all these various
shapes of action and of influence, in
its root and essences will be the
strength of the affections. The hid
ing of woman's power must ever be
in the fervor and steadfastness of her
love. And her most triumphant
characteristic is love, culminating in
its highest expression that of self
sacrifice. A thoughtful writer has
observed the contrast between the
sexes even in their play. "The
boy," he says, " gets together wooden
horses and a troop of tin soldiers and
works with them. The eirl takes a
doll and work for it." That is wo
man's great peculiarity the work of
self-sacrifice working for others.
Rev. Dr. Chapin.
Finding Fault with Children.
It is at times necessary to censure and
punish; but very much more may be
done by encouraging children when
they do well. Be, therefore, more
careful to express your approbation
of good conduct than your disappro
bation of bad. Nothing can more
discourage a child than a spirit of in
cessant fault-finding ori the part of
its parents, and hardly anything can
exert a more injurious influence
upon the disposition of both the par
ent and child. There are two great
motives influencing human actions
hope and fear. Both of these are at
times necessary. But who would

fluenced to good conduct by a desire
of pleasing, rather than by the fear
of offending If a mother never ex
presses her gratification when her
children do well, and is always cen
suring them when she sees anything
amiss, they are discouraged and un
happy; their dispositions become har
dened and soured by this ceaseless
fretting; at last, finding that wheth
er they do well or ill, they are equal
ly found fault with, they relinquish
all efforts to please, and become heed
less of reproaches.

The Swedenborgian Doctrine.
A-ccording to Swedenborg, there are
three heavens, consisting of three or
ders of ann-els: The first is distin?-
uished for love, the second for wisdom
and the last for obedience. All
igels have lived on earth, none
were created such. They are men
and women in every respect, tliev
marry and live in societies in cities
and countries just as we do in this
world, but in happiness and glory
ineffable. All of whom love to God
and man is the ruling principle, go to
Ueaven at dath. Between heaven
and hell a perfect equilbrium is main
ained. As there are three heavens
there are three hells, and every an
gelic society has an iufernal antago
nist. Hell, as a whole, is called the
devil and satan: there is no individual
aring this name. All in whom
self-love is the ruling passion fio to
helh There is no resurrection of the
earthly body. Every one passes to
us nnai lot at death; some make a
short sojourn in an intermediate state
designated the world of spirits, where
the good are cured of their superficial
infirmities and intellectual mistakes.
and the evil reject all pretenses to
good.

"Spate moments are the gold dust'
of the times;'" when Queen Elizabeth
lay upon her dying bed, she cried in
the. deepest sorrow and anguish:
" Millions of5 money would I give for
an inch of time." At thai moment
she would have offered her gold, dia
monds, or power; more, than' she-ever
possessed, who would ; have borne
to her the news of a splendid victory
or paid the most delicate compliment,
wenld bave bfreo thast aside to make
room for 6ne who - could have prar;
longed, even for an hour, the life of
the dying fyieen. Time is a price-,
less gift of God to weak, humanity.
We are placed in this world for a
purpose, and time is given us to ful
fill our allotted tack. If we act i
unison with the Almighty, we find
that not one moment Deed not be
unemployed. The service of God;
the improvement of oar talents,, and
the bestowal of charity upon those
less favored than ourselves,' will fill
up every inch of time. As the min
ute partichs of which gold dust is
composed glitter in the light of the
sun, so shall the apparently insig
nificant actions which occupy but '
a moment, brighten the page cf our
lives, when the powerful light of the
dissolving elements shall expose it to
the scrutiny of the All-seeing Judse.
In view of such time should we Dot
gather up the fragments, the ruin
ates aye. the seconds? which nmv
save another from committing sin as
would be occupied in momentarily
gratifying ourselves. We cannot cal-"
culate the ultimate value of hours
and minutes, but we know that a
old dust carefully gathered becomes
valuable, so we may expect to be
come the happy reapers of an inval
uable treasure harvest, if we faith-
ful.y garner and cluster time's col-
den fragments.

When Peter the Great passed-
the edict that any man who challenged
ahothar should be handed, whether '
,
the meeting should take place or not,a
one might have supposed that duel
ling in Russia would have come to a
sudden end. Yet it is related that'.
even this edict did not prevent Gen- -
eral Zass and Prince Dolgopoueki
irom bringing a quarrel they had to -
mortal arbitrament, thoush thev were
forced to adopt a mode of settling-"
their differences which was rfriw-hi
airer than any ordinary duellng.-
Ihey agreed to stand in an enllira
sure, against which the Swedes were'
directing a heavv fire, until one or'
the other should be struck. The-
arrangement was made, and the two
foolish heroes "stood erect, with one
hand on the hip, and looking fiercely'
at each oeher until the Prince Wus
cut in two by a cauuon ball."
Thoreau says : In prOpoTtiortf
as our inward life fails, we go more
constantly and desperately to the
post-office, ion may depend upon
it, that the poor fellow that walks
away with the greatest number of let

spondence, has not heard Yroia hiia
