We mourn tor its vanished promise
Of honor, ambition, nud truth;

When io think how soon we must away.
We stand at life's west windows,
And turn not sadly away,
To witrli our children's faces
The noontide of BjurUingdayj
But our sun must set, our lips grow dumb,
And to look from our winilowi our children

Still looking from lifo'n west windows;
And wo know wo would not again
Look forth the eastern lattice,
And live over nil life's pain;
Thougb life' sunlight be brilliant, its sunset is

Since it brings longed-for rest to our weary

THU FAMILY.
There lived, In Illinois, In 18.11, near
a llttlo Inland village, n fnnillv, who, In
poverty's low vule, oked out n hnrd, nl
most miserable, existence. Tho coun
try was now, money was scarce, times
dull, and farming at n low ebb. The
southern part of Morgan county was,
then, but llttlo else than wild prairies;
and oak-covered, rolling lands. Tho
soil was unsurpassed, tho tlmborscarco
llmcstono and coal wcro nhunthint; and
there were, too, Immense quantities of
natlvo fruits, as, tho whlto-ouk acorns,
burr-oak acorns, bhek mid whito wal
nuts, liazi'l-niits, pawpaws, plums, honey-locust,
persimmons, and pecans,
May-apples, crab-Mpples, grapes, and
vast quantities of wild honey. The
Arn pes wore of three species: Labrusca,
tho fox, or summer grape; Cordifolla,
a small, black, winter grape; Itlpnrla, a
whitish, sweet, fall grape; and, occa
sionally, aestivalis, a reddish grap?,
climbing over bushes, and growing on
cllir-, bluft nml rocks. All theso wild
fruits woro used by tho 'early settlers,'
In both tho greon and dried states.
Uesidos, thcro wcro many deer, tur
keys, partridges, grouso, and prairie
hens by thousands. Theso and honey
woro ciftoii tho fubilrtcnce of tho ' back
woodsmen,' 'squatters,' mid Maud

contemptuously called.

. Our llttlo family had settled In the
prairie, north, somo miles, of White
hall, and south of Manchester, on the
thou eld wagon-road leading from Al
ton to Jacksonville. Here, lit this 'open
prairie,' lived tho father of Martha, tho
oldest daughter of tho family. Thero
were six children, three girl nud three
boys.
TIIK Iir.MOX, llllIXK.
Tho father, Bill Uk. was u drunken
debauchee, a worthless vagabond ;
though ho had been n tluclooklng, In
tellectual, and energetic man, yet
drink had mado him worso than a
bruto. His wife win 'doubly widow
ed, for she had not only tho family to
support, hut him, too. Hard was tho
lot of this ' doubly-wldowetl ' woman, i
Sho had a lino hand-loom, and wovo
cloth nnd enrpots for a living.
thi: CAiux ix thi: i-haime.
Here, tho winters wero cold, nnd
snowy, nnd tho winds Intensely pen-
otrntlngand chilly. They lived In aj
10-by-lS cabin, mado of scnly-lmrk
'hlckory logs, a board roof of burr-oak
boards, held on with weight-poles; it
clapboard door, hung on wooden hin
ges, nnd with a wooden latch, mid tho
string hanging outsido. Two windows,
two feet long, without sash or casing,
simply whito paper oiled, pasted ovora
big crack between tho logs; u punch
eon floor; a stlck-and-mud chimney,
and black-mud Jams, with two stones
in the flro.placo for indiron, and n
dirt. harJ-Douuded hearth. The crocks
-...., .. t -
between the logs were chinked with
pieces of wood, nnd daubed with mud.
Here, In the cold prairie, whoro tho
winds blew nnd tho snows fell, existed,
scarcely lived, this good woman, her
llttlo ones, and her brutel
"Oh, Clod! havo mercy on tho poor!"
often fell from tho lips of tho woe
stricken woman. How she wove, how
she toiled, nnd struggled up through
poverty's cold vale, few know, and
none have ever recorded. "Oh, God!
who will write tho tear and blood
stained page of tho innocent suffering
of tho wives, sous, mid daughters of
tho victims of strong drilk!" "Clod
tempers tho wind to the shorn lamb,"
and " tlmo settles up nil accounts, nt
last."
As tho poor woman labors on, in a
faith that nover forsakes her, events
thicken, nnd causes operate for tho
better; her situation Improves; she,
with tho tiny aid of little hands, saves
somo money, and a few acres of land
aro secured; a cow is bought, some
hogs mid chickens aro raised; somo
corn; a garden Is mado; nnd they to
(jin to live. Tho good skillet, tho ca
pacious oven, somo pans, with tho big
kettle, somo forks, knives, plates, anil
a churn, constitute tho kitchen furni
ture. Hut tho big lire-place, and the
new bright flro (for they havo a horse
and a llttlo sled, with which thoy haul

suirorcd for wood to mako n good fire!
Nono know what comfort is, save thoso
who suffer.
Tho llttlo boys, Jortlan, John, and
Peter, poor llttlo fellows, are growing.
Jordan, tho eldest, now fourteen, Is n
stay to Ma, nnd it prop to the children.
Martha, next to Jordan, Is now twelve,
nnd tho prettiest of children, Cecilia
and Henrietta aro pale, dear, little be

for Ma coultl not afford them shoes,
stockings, nnd warm dresses. Hcnco
the sweet little things look so pale, but

Jordan works out nud buys six sheep.
And, oh, what comfort! Tho wool from

Martha was now grown, Intellectual
and beautiful. Her form was faultless.
Sho was graceful, and peculiarly fasci
nating. Her walk was vigorous and
llrm. Her contour was that of self-pos-osslon
nnd command. In height,
neither tall nor 'dumpy, as Byron
would Miy. Her hair, a rich, golden
color, shining, ami remarkably wavy.
Her eyes, a dark brown, lustrous nnd
large. Her iiu-o, straight and long.
Her mouth, large, but finely cut. The
chin was largo and tlnely moulded, mid
i tho under Jaw strong and muscular.
I Tho cheeks oven, but not swelling.
But the forehead was tho commanding
feature of her countenance. It was
thin, high, and bold. The crown, am
plo, and unusually high. The ears,
large, and well formed. The eyebrows
wero large, and of u darker hue than
her hair. Her eyelashes wero verv
! long, and, when sho looked down, thoy
seemed to shado hor eyes. Her teeth
wero large, strong, and, strango to say,
quite yellow. This was a source of
mortification to her, as sho could nover
mako them look white without de
stroying tho enamel, which sho did not
wish to do. Sho was an artist In dress
always neat nnd becoming, and pas
sionately fond of flowers, usually wear
ing them In her hair, mid so artistical
ly arranged In her golden ringlets as to
defy criticism. The art of arranging
colors nml adorning the person, in
dress, is an instinct, Ikini In woman.
And few women pos.st ssod this trait In
so admirable u degree.

to whom she sold her eggs nnd butter.
Tho butter was so nice, rich, nnd sweet,
thnt she sold It readily for more than
others could got. She always returned
home full of glee nt her purchases for
the "dear ones at home." She was
fond of her pa, and, when " hlmsolf,"
as was sometimes tho case, sho fondly
idolized him. Her ma she loved with
all the ardor of a strong nature. Her
brothers and llttlo sisters shnred In tho
warm outpourings of u sister's love.

But there was another lovo which,
until lately, sho had nover known. Sho
was entering upon a now life.
JOSEPH.
There lived in tho vlllngo a young
morchnnt, with whom sho hnd, In
stinctively, nnd almost unconsciously,
ration in love. Tho lovo was mutual,
but had commenced with Martha first.
Sho tried to conceal It, but love, like
tho sun, will shlno through clouds nnd
storms.

tho aged tavanl in his counsels of wis

and purified high places; it has led,
nnd still leads, onward tho citadel of
feeling, nnd melts tho soul In sympa

Joy come, liko brilliant gems, from the
clouds, nnd water tho ground. Love Is
tho last, best, gift of fallen Evo to her
wandering daughters. It Is tho bright
est Jowei in the dladom which crowns
their brows. Love, uncontrolled, Is n
fearful thing, and terrible in Its effects
for evil; but love controlled is the ulti

Through the Bark Continent.
Tho book of explorations In Africa by
Henry M. Stanley, published by Hnr
per Brothers, and styled "Through tho
Dark Contlnont," Is ono of tho most
interesting literary events of the year
In that it relates the story of much
hardship mid adventure, and throws
much light upon tho fascinating: subject
of Afrlcnn travel.

about somo hlets, which stud tho mid

standing, glvo n loud shout as they dis

than over. Wo pull briskly on to gain

you seo the first spear, and then tnko

Don't think of running nway, for only

Our blood Is up now. It Isn murder

that wo hato the filthy, vulturous
ghouls who Inhabit It. We, therefore,
lift our anchors mid pursue them up
stream along tho right bank, until
rounding n point wo see their villages.
Wo mnko straight for the banks, ami
contlnuo tho light in tho vlllngo
streets with those who have landed,
hunt them out into tho woods, and
thero only sound tho retreat, having
returned tho daring cannibals the
compliment of u visit.
Tho difficulties of travel that beset
tho explorer arc graphically related
In the following extract:
Theconstnnt slush and reok which
the heavy dews caused In tho forest
through which we had traveled the
last ten dnys had worn my shoes out,
and half of tho march I traveled with
naked feet. I had then to draw out of
my store my last pair of shoes. Yet
we wero still in the very center of tlio
continent. Whnt should we do when
nil wero gone? wns u question which
we asked of each other often.
Tho faces of tho people, Arabs,
Wangwnna, Wnnyamwozl and tho
escort wero qulto u study at this camp.
Alt their courage was oozing out, us
day by day wo plodded through tho
doleful, dreary forest. Wo saw u
python ten feet long, u green viper
and a monstrous pull" adder on this
march, besides scores of monkeys, and
tho whlte-nccked or glossy black spe
cies, as also tuu small gray and tho
largo howling baboons. Wo heart!,
also, tho "soko" or chlmbanzee, mid
saw ono "nest" belonging to it in tho
fork of a tall bombax. A lemur was
also observed; Its loud, hnrsh cries
mado each night hideous.
Tho path presented myr.ipedes, black
anil brown, six Inches In length; while
beetles wero innumerable, and armies
of deep brown "hot-water" mils com
pelled us to belcautlous how wo stepp
ed. Tho dllllcultles of such travel as wo
had now commenced may be Im
agined when a short march of six
miles mid u half occupied tho twenty
four men who where carrying tho
boat sections mi entire day, and so
fatigued them that we had to halt mi
other day at Wano Klrtiinbu. to re
cruit their exhausted strength.
Thu terrible undergrowth thnt hero
engrossed all thospaco under thoshndo
of tlio plllard bombax and nuH-Uko
mviilo was a miracle of vegetat'on. It
consists of ferns, spear-grass, water
cane, mid orchidaceous plants, mixed
with wild vines, cablo-thlcknessor tho

all struggling for every Inch of space
mid swarming upward with a luxuri
ance nud density that only this extra
ordinary hot'liouso atmosphere could
nourish. Wo had certainly seen for
ests before, but this scene was mi
epoch in our lives ever to be remem
ed for Its bitterness; tho gloom en
haiiccd tho dismal inlsey of our life;
tho stopping moisture, the unhealthy
reeking atmosphere, mid tho mono
tony of tho scones; nothing hut tho
eternal Interlaced brauchei, tho lull

through which wo had to burrow and
