Beyond the Mississippi, far from my home; ¦rhe grass ot tho prairie was wlthereo aud dead; Thpsadness of autumn around me wasspread. When Io! Inmy pathway, what shonid I be¬ hold I A trave right beforo me—It could not be old AS the clods were all fresh,and turfless the sod With foot;prlnls 'round whera tho carriers bad trod. I paused In roy Journey, and pensive and lone. Stood still and reflected, aa twilight camo on; Til. wind was subsiding, and dirge-like its bum;-,—...-.^.'-. The breeze in Its wailing a requiem sung. Was Itsome immigrant, across the blue sea? Or was It some stranger, who wandered like me? Wiio far from his kindred, bis children, hla home. Died unlaraented, aud waa buried unknown. Alt', uo.'tis but short, some child's grave it inust be, ¦Smiio dear lillio darling cot off iu lUi glee; Some lond liltle nursling just toru from tiie breast. Of Its heart-stricken mother, here laid to rest. J thought of my own Utile loved ones at home. Oil ¦ bow could I tell, since I left Ihem to roam; Komo might many days be slumbering in deatii, Isume might eveu now, be breatbiug their last breath. 1 thought of m^- LiXA, lliree mouliisln ber tomb. Mow suddeuly she died in childhood's fall bloom! Willie lost in memories so pensive, so sweet. My tears were bedewing the grave at my feet. I felt the sad Instability of things; How hopes aie illusive, how joys take tbelr wlnas. How deith calls tiie loved one,':, we Tal.-:e the most, llow soon at the best allof earth must bo lost. I pitied lhe poor ou tho plains oftlie Wesi; What tolls and privations, they have at tbe test ! As tlie tenantlesK waste recalls lo their mind. The laud of their fathers, the fi-lends left behind. Nijriit was advauciug, when I turned from the spot. To seek for refuge some new seltier's col; Where by a kind matron, my wants wire supplied. And thus to my (lueries, the lady replied: " You see on the swell ofthe prairie, a lighl Glimmfcrlng sofiilntii', thro'the diirkn£ss of night. That is the homestead of Blazek Heiachman.hc Camo from Bohemia, o'er tbe deep wide sea. "He brougiit with him iilther his only loved child; A boy of threo summers, so winsome so mild; Who was to bis father, bis hope and his pride; Who loved him the more, since bis mother had died. "He iiad no oue else, with wbom he couit? speak. Our lauguage to lilm was like Hebrew, or Greek; But sad to relate the event that befell; As it happened, the boy fell luto the well. " Uls fallier soon missed hliu. and frantic and wild. He plunged to tbe bottom, to seek his lost child; And there In tbe water ho fouud bim again, And now, lo get ouw-lio was struggling in vain. ** Uis cries brought no assistance, no oue was nlch. Until al a distance, some hunters passed by; 'WJio.so steps were arresled by a dog acting queer. And whlnluf' aud howling; aud when tbey drew near Tbey saw Blazek Halschmau, deep down In the well; Yet how to assist lilm lhey scarcely could tell; But alter contriving and searchlni' about, Tbey threw him a clothes line, and hoisted him oul. "But what their surprise, and how saddened their loy. To see bim como forth wllh his de.id litllo boy; He clasped the rope and the dead boy. aK I tell, And so Blazek Halshman came outol ihewell. *' And thus, three days Blnce, on the spot where you've been. Little Joseph w;as laid in the grave you've seen And now his poor father,bereft and alone. Laments for his boy In his desolate hotue," SOSE CLUTOED'S SOEBOW. "Inl* each life some rain must fall. Some days be dark, and sad, and ilreary." Eo3e Cliflbril Bat by the wimlow thiuking, and gazing out at tlie statB as they rose ono above tbe otber iu tlie early twilight. Eose was not beautirul, only good and lovely, with a face which any one who saw her eould not help loving, and a heart large enougii to grasp all man- klu',! in itseyuipathy ; but to-night she miglit have beeu culled almost beauti¬ ful, as she B.it, witb her large, mourn¬ ful eyes gazing upward, and ber hair banging in one solid mass over ber fair shoulders, while the moonbeams caugbt every golden tress iu their silver meshes. Was she dreaming as she sat there so statue-like and slill? Ahuii! life with her was too muuli of a reality for that; she WUS only thinking sad thoughts. Most of Bosa'a life bad been one of unsbiueand happiness. Tbeonly child of indulgent parents, naturally of a cheerful and lively disposition,respected und beloved by all wbo knew ber, how could she help being happy 7 But to¬ night, although her parents were more loving and friends kinder than ever, althougb everi'thiug arouud was cov¬ ered witb beauty, aud full of music and poetry, siie was not happy. Two years before sbe had given her heart, with all its flrat, pure, undl\'ided alTection to Earnest Leslie, ayoungman of untarnished character, and every way worthy ber affection. How she had loved him, and worshipped him, none but herself ever knew. She al¬ most feared sbe bad loved bim above her Master, and He, in tender mercy, had taken away ber idol to draw ber to Himself. To-night, as she gazed out In the moonshine, overtbebills, she could see the distant cemetery, dotted here and there with white slabs, to mark the resting-places of the departed; and there, while tbe stars looked calmly dowu, and sweet zepbyrs murmured iu varied cadences, sbe knew Ernest was Bleeping. She had planted fiowers over his grave, and often watered it with her tears; but sorrow and crying cannot bring our loved ones back across the river, aud Bosa kuew she must give bim up. He said before be died, "Bosa, for your sake I would like to live; but our Father knoweth best, and I leave you in His hands. If I bad been spared I might have worked aome In his vine¬ yard , but, Bosa, ' He doeth all things well.' Follow flim always, and we shall meet again. Find some one to love and care foryou, anddo not grieve after me. Think of mesometimes, and the home where I'm going, but do not be unhappy." Not grieve after him! not be un¬ happy! How could she help it? Bhe knew he.was safe now in heaven; that no sorrow coald ever reach him again; "till ehe missed him, and her heart continnally kept crying out for'fhis tender love and manly presence. Yet, for the sake of her parents, she would bear Itall patiently. " Eose, come down stairs. Frank is in the parlor waiting for you." It was Bosa'a mother who spoke, and she auswered: "Yes, mamma, X will come." Beader, would you like to see Frank ? If ao, we will just take a peep into the parlor. Seated ou a sofa is a young man about twenty-five years of age, with dark brown liair, and eyes of tbe same oolor, iu wliich you cau read at once intelligence and goodness of heart. Eose Clifford and Frank Summerlleld bas been friends from early childhood; from the lime wbeu they used to make the grand old woods resound with mer¬ ry laughter, and search for glossy nuts among the brown leaves of Autumn ; from the time when tbey attended llie same school, in tbe old log school house on the hill, and recited in tbe same books, joining in tbe same sports, and eating from the same basket. It was a sad thing for Frauk wheu, a few yeara before. Earnest Leslie, a young man studying for the miniatry, entered the qniet neighborhood, and In a short time won Bosa's heart. Frank bad loved Eose ever siuce he could remember. Sbe had always beeu lbe star that liiled bis Iife„witb bright¬ ness; allhough unknown to ber, for be bad always kept his secret bid away dowu iu his own heart. Frank bad al- waysseemed like a kind brother to Eose. She never thought of bim as anything more than a dear frieud, aud aa abe had uo brollier, ahvays felt sure of an esdort iu Frauk, wherever she wished to go. But after Earnest came, things chauged, nud he was her con- stantchaperon. Frank, feeling tbat he had no claim on iier longer, and ihinkiug it best for himself avoided her society as much as possible; but uow he felt sorry for Boae, ami thought he would cal! and see her. Eose felt that sbe had beeu slighted liy lhe friend of her cliildhiiod ; and asshe was so lonely to-uigbt. it was welcome news when informed thatFiank had come. So she hastened tj brush lier hair and go down. "Good evening, Kose." "\Vb.v, Frank, good evening; is it really you'? 1 tbougbt you had ijuite forgotten your old friend." "Ob, no, Bosa. I bave been very mucb engaged lately, but to-night I thouglit perbapu you might be lone¬ some, aud lis T liadalitllelimetDSpare, thought I would call aud take jou to church, iryim'd like logo." "Oh yes, if there is meeting I wuuld like to go. How kind of you, Frank, to call for me to-night of all otber nigbt.s when I am so lonel.v ; hut you always were like a kiud, good brother to me, and always happen to come just at tbo time." " Who is to preach?" " Mr. Tiltor., the miuister frora Den¬ ton, Is bere, and be is said to be a supe¬ rior preacher. I saw him to-dty, and he is a flue lookiug man ; just sucb a man as I think you would like to hear preach, Bosa." What a pieasaut lid^ they had over the smooth roads; and wliata splendid sermon Mr. Tiiton delivered. " Thou Shalt have no other gods be fore me," was tbe text, and Bosa felt, w.hiieliKteniug to tbat pointed and able discourse, that sbe bad almost forsaken God, and made Earnest her idol. He had been first in her affections, and God second; and she felt that she justly deserves lo lo'^.e him ; henceforth nothing sliould come belweeu ber and her Maater. Witb tbese thoughts lllliiig her mind Bo.oa roturned home, and when Frank bid ber good night, he left her mucb happier tban when he came. When tbe peace of Heaveu fills tbe soul, the heart cannot be unhappy; and Bose was soon herselfngain, think¬ ing of the pnst as an oasis iu her life, and of Earnest as blessed anil happy. Frank came often now, and tbey spent many hours In social conver¬ sation. Tbree years bad passed away since Earnest " fell asleep; " lliree years of chauge—joy to some and sorrow to others. Eose bail ceased to grieve for him, but Ibougbt ofbim sometimes a he had reiiuested ; oud the home wbere be bad goue. Bweet peace filled her heart, allhough .she sometimes felt a longing for human sympathy and lovo. Frank had been gone two yeara, being called away on busine.ss, aiul she missed him sadly. It wns true she received letters from him frequently, but that was not like having some one to talk Willi; but he was returning soon, and she was lookiug forward to tlie time wlieu he would arrive. She won¬ dered if two years' traveling had chauged him much, .ind ifhe wotild be glad to see her. Sbe knew she would him. Ab! Cupid's dart bad almost found tt lodging placu iu her heart agaiu. Frank returued, strong aud robnat, aud more mauly thau ever. Boae looked on him with admiration, and he was well pleased witb the manner iu wbicb she welcomed bim hume. Frank's fatber has died, leaving him the old homestead, and all be wished for now waa some one to share it with him. He knew Eose was the only one that could ever fill the void in his heart, and yet knowing tbe great love ahe had for Earneat In past years, he hesitated to lay open bis heart to her, fearing he would uot be received. However, as Ihreeyeara had paaaed by since theu, he resolved to settle the point by try¬ ing. On a beauliful evening, sucb an one as lovers deem most appropriate for wooing and winning, an opportunity offered itaelf to bini. He called aud found Eose alone in the parlor. Sbe looked fair and lovely, aa ahe always did; and to Frank she appeared, as sbe alwaya had doue, tbe sweetest wo¬ mau on earth. They talked ou various subjecta, aud then Frauk, feeling that he muat speak about that whicb was nearest his heart, commenced: "Eose, I know how three long years ago, you buried your heart's idol In the churchyard, and felt tbat you could never be happy again; and I know, too, how some one else bas loved you all tbeae years, as well asJEarneat did, and would, lay down his life for your sake. I have never yet spoken, think¬ ing it almost sacrilege to do so, since Earnest's death, but I feel thatl can keepsilence no longer, and must speak. " Eose, you never knew it, but ever since we were childreu I have loved you ; and to-night I have come to ask you if you cannot love mo a little in return. Ido not wish yoa toworehip me, only to love me as one wbo bos his faults with the rest of humanity. Bay, Bose, can you not do it?" Frank, this is rather unexpected. I have always loved you as a brother, and thought of you as a dear frieud; but aa for making you my husband, I never thought of auch a thing. I will study over It, and ifyou will call a week from to-night, I win tben give you my deci¬ sion." Xn ber own loom tbat night Bose tliought of Earnest'B words, " *y and flud some one to love and care for you;" and who could sho find that would love her better, or be more wortby than Frank, and tbat she could love with a purer affection ? Need I tell you that she decided to love him, and that Frank was made happy by her anawer a week following? They were married In Spriug, and Eose went to make the old homestead as near a little paradise on earth as possible. Her flrst great sorrow had strengthened and purified h'er heart, aud sbe uow realized fully wbat Earn¬ eat once aaid, " Eose, He doeth all thiugs well." OEOWIH OF DISEASE AND CIVILIZATION, Tlie attention of learned men has been frequently called of late to the appearance of diseases unknow or very uucommon some years ago. Thereis, moreover, a rapid increase of some dis¬ orders common at all times, Thua, jnafinity ia iucreusing iu Great Britain at a much greater rate thau tbe popula¬ tion. In 1859 there were classed as ln>anB'1u-^Digla:nd ahd Wales, 37,762, while npon the Jat of January, 1SV2, there were aS,G40, an iur crease of over flfty-flve per cent, iu tliirteen years. In 1S59 there were ISO lunatics to every one hundred thou¬ sand persons, while now there are 249 iu the same number. Aud all this is true in the face of the fact that great attention lias beeu paid to tlie treat¬ ment of the insane witbin a few years. Disease of tiie lieart is also rapidly lu¬ ereasiug In • the male aes. Wilbin twenty years lbe number of deaths amoug tbe meu between tbe ages of twenty and forty-flve (the working yearsofaman'sjife) has nearly doubled, while tbere has been hardly any in¬ creaae In the mortality of women by tlie same diaeaae. This result is due to the feverish excltemsut of modern life which naturally exbaqats the vltaj powers of men engaged in the compe¬ titiou of busiuess or the general strife for position and wealth. Neuralgia, one of tbe most common diseases now, was hardly known a century since, and softening of ibe biairi ia said liardly ever lo bave been thought of. It is but a little while since some startliug ata- liaties in reference to the growing prev¬ alence of Bright'^ di5(!ase in thia couu¬ try were published. The reader will ob- aerve thai most of tbeae disordera arise fr. m trouble wilb Ihe brain, tbe heart, or the nervous system. In searching for the causes tbe student is led lo the special features of our modern life. He finds in tbe increase of comforts, sani. tar.v iuiprovements, advance of medi¬ cal scieuce, etc., tlie exjJanation of tbe decrease of mortality. But the growth of luxury, lack of open air exerciae, ir¬ regularity of living, pressure of busi¬ uess aud overwork account for tbe ex¬ haustion of mental and physical energy aud lbe breaking down of men before tliey have really done Ihoir proner work. Civilization has uot brought un- mingled good resulta. We cannot live as fast as at preseut without a sacrifice of health and vigor. BOW TO EIDE A COLT. The following atory told by John iSmilh—we will suppose his name to be Smilh—and bis son Virgil, is said to bea "true bill." Smith had avery promising young horae, now for tbe first time in training for the track. The other day Vlrgll, a bright little chap some ten years of age, was speed¬ ing the colt around the track, and was making tbe run iu a gallant style, wben the colt suddenly abied and threw the boy off. Tbe cauae of this was a young porker that had stowed himself in some brush close to tbe track, a quiet spectator of tbe colt's performance, until the latter got almost opposite to him, when, hog¬ like, be made a violent rush, witb the result meniioned. By the time bis anxious father reacbed the ground the boy was on his feet, unhurt. Baid the father: " Virgil, you don't know bow to ride a colt, to let a little pig like that make bim throw yon off. I don't want tbe colt spoiled; X want him to go round the track, and I'll show ynu that a pig can't prevent bim." "I'll bet you," said Virgil, "he'll throw you, too, if a pig makes bim jump like he did witb me." " Ko he wont't, Virgil; you cau get in the bush there, aud wheu X ride bim round you can grunt like a pig. I'll show you how It Is done," said tbe elder Smith. Accordingly tbe colt was caught and mounted by Smith, the elder, tbe boy in the meantime having taken his po¬ sition in the bush to play the role of pig, In which he succeeiled to perfec¬ tion, for wlien the sire, after a rattling ruu bad reached the proper place, be started like a young grizzly, and tear¬ ing out of tbe bush, caused the panic- stricken colt to pitch hia rider inglori- ously In the dirt. Gathering himaelf up, besaid, savagely: "What did you do that for? X told you to grunt like a pig, and not like a blasted old hog." TACT. How easily aome men move in tbe lineof performance. Every act seems to fall aa gracefully aud graeioualj' as if it were consummate art. No matter wbat ia iu hand, or how new the atti¬ tude, the feat is so smoothly done, you would say the excellence grew out ot vocation, or came from incesaaut study. Tbis ease accompanies all they do. I'hey are versatile and never surprised. In society lhey are easy spokesmen. In buainess, their presence and ad¬ dress carry tbe day. Wbileanotber, In¬ tellectually greater, and of rare special gifts, stumbles and blunders in eyery step he takes ; tbe man of tact—and with little else besides—will akim along over tbe surface of things to succeaa aud fortune. Tbe difference between tbem is the differeuce between oil and friction. If we were to apeak of tbia faculty lu tbe lauguage of Gall and Spurzbeim, we should aay it ia uot derived from any particular organ, but la tbe happy equilibrium of them all. It haa no eye to time and sur¬ roundings, and aa a close observer of tbe unities and tbe; sequeucea of thought, It puts the rigbt remark and the right deed in tbe rigbt place. If our example is s lawyer, be Impresaes thejury by his adroit manner, and bis strange sympathy with tbeirown views. If an orator, be captivates by bia ready phrase and sobriety of statement, or by his natural style and method. Possessed by the teacher, this gift makesa well-ordered school. It has the knack of command and aaaertlon, and produces thej.serene and happy home. Interfering as it does in the tumult of coufiicting Iwills and undisciplined minds, it acts as a chemical mordant to evolve harmony. The raan of tact, put him where you will, ia everywhere triumphant. He is, to uae a familiar phrase, whicb means much, always " perfectly at hqme." VEZAiioas OF A Fsoin yabs. BY BOGQS. We have recently moved into a house that haa a front yard. We liave always lived in bousea whose front yard was thestreet. Children will play in the yard whether there ia a street funning through it or not. After two or lliree of them had barely esciiped being run over by the teams that insisted on run¬ ning tbrough our front yard, wife said she must rent a houae ihat hadn't any atreet in it.. So we did. ButLord! tbe children didu't make any accouut ofit; they are iu the atreet as much as ever, accumulating tbelr daily supply of nar¬ row escapes. Wife said tlie yard looked bare witb¬ out shrubs, aud flowers, and viues. X hinted that a little graaa would help It too. She asked me if I knew where I could get some, aud I lold her tbat I knew a little grass widow on the next street. If slie would do. I retreated fol¬ lowed by tbe rolling pin. One morning as I was going away, wife asked me to bring her a few "an¬ nuals" wben X came back. I wondered what she wanted witli annuals, as I rode down In the street car, but X am accustomed to a blind obedience to her requests, so when I weut home at night I brought ber some annuals. Tbere were "Dr. Jayne's Medical Almanac," I remember, and the "Old Fellows' An¬ nual Offering," and a ''New Year'a Address, for 1SC2," and the "Birth Day Gift," and numerous annual addresses before agricultural associations that had accumulated on my hands. " Good gracious," esclalmefl IJrs, Boggs (abe never swears like tbat uu¬ lesa uudet great excitement), " what haveyou brougbt me?" "Annuals, Mrs. Boggs," said I. "You said you wanted aome anmiala, aniJ here they are," Then Mrs. Boggs burat out laughing and cried, " Why, you old fool you, (we have been married twenty years, but Mrs. B. calls me pet names yet), the annuals X mean are fiowers,such as verbenas, pansies, daaiea, morning?glo^ lies, mignonette and the like, to aet out in our front yard." Then, she took all the pains to collect aud set tbem out In the baek yard amoug other rubbish. The next morning she asked if I thought I could get her some rcsea for the front yard. To!d ber I knew a man who had got a lot of early rose potatoes, but it waan't the right tjme for settin J them out. (t have" an Idea tbat the ground is much better em¬ ployed in raising a potato than iu rais¬ ing a flower, unless it be a barrel of flour.) Wife said I hadn't a bit of taste, She tben gave me a memoranda of rosea abe wanted.- I was busy all day, but just aa I waa abouc taking a car for horae thought of the roses. I referred to the memoranda and found the fol¬ lowing: " Get a few gerauiumSiVucbias, helio¬ trope, roses, bourbon, runulng rose, 'Prairie Queen,' goldeu fest plant, vinea, English Ivy, Wandering Jew, aeeda etc." X atudied it Iiard, but it was slightly incomprehensible. Sbe bnd evidently got things mixed up. However, I went to a florist and told liim wbat I wanted. Said I: "Give me a few geraniums and a few abe'a and—" "A few wbat?" asked the fiower man, looking very pqzjied. "A few she's," said I turuing very red, I know, for I couldu't tell lor the life, of me what my wife wauted ofa few she's about the place, as she uever could live in tbe same house with another woman. As the florist looked more etaggered than ever, I banded bim the memo¬ randa, when be bursted into a loud laugh. " Why, man," h cried, " il'afuchias ahe wants!" and then be roared again: " Well, whatever il ia, give me a couple of yards'of It, anywhow—front and back yard,.too." You see I was mad. I got tbe thinga the memoranda seemed to call for at varioua placea aud went home. " Here, Mra. Bogga," eald I, testily, " are the things for your front yard." "Why, whatis this?" she cried, as I thruat a two-gallon jug upon her, among other thinga. "Bourbon, my dear; I found it on the memoranda. Pretty thing to aet out iu the foout yard Ibuugb, How long do you s'poaa It'll slay there, with the ueighbors, we've got 1" "Bogga, y'ou are Infernal ; that memorandum was a "Bourbon Eose.' But what is tbia naaty little book ?" holding up a dime novel, with a bighly colored title page, representing a gor¬ geous squaw ou a fiery and untamed mustang. "That? Why, you ordered it, didn't you? Thatis'Bunning Eose; or the Prairie Queen,' one of Beadle's, you know." My wife carried it at arm's length and threw it into the atove. Then ahe took the jug of Bourbon and emptied it into the back gutter. While ahe wa,i gone I concealed Alexander Du¬ mas' " Wandering Jew," which I alao had purcbaaed, for I began to see tbat I bad made a terrible blunder in filling that order. (Ihave since ascertained that " Wandering Jew" is the name of a vine, but how was I expected to know all about It?)—y/jo J'at Contrib¬ utor. L^QM DZVOBOB'SrOTICK.

POLITICAL CMPMGI ©F SS72. -Grant iv ^m, .-^iGreelev A writer, wbo is a lover of birds, tells the foUowljg pieasaut little storj: I wag aittiogone Junemornlngat the open window of .1 pleasant country house, wheu I observed a busy wren fly¬ ing back and forth through tlie thiclc boughs ofa large English cherry tree, bringiug hits of wood and gr.iss to the little hole wbich she had made in the bottom of the tree for a place, I suppose to hide her neat iu. After awhile she came lugging a burden that looked heavy enough for two wrens. Sbehad been to the wood-pile aud picked up a stick longer than she was, and I watcli¬ ed her as she flew up to the hole with itand attempted to go iu juat as she had done wilh her other sticks aud bits. J laughed to see how puzzled she was when her burdeu butted against the sides aud pushed her hack from tbe en¬ trance. She tried it again and agaiu with the same result, fluttering up to the hole, knocking the stick against the sides, aud then was obliged to Sut¬ ter back. It was rude m the uugaiuly twlg.sheseemed to thiuk, and thelittle lady actually looked as though sbe felt insulted. I almost expected to see ber give up, but no. Fastening her feet firmly on the edge of the opening, she placed the stick perpendicularly, and tugged with all her might to thrustit through, but in vain; tben she turned it and tried it horizontairy, but it would notgo in. Atlastshe cried it endwise and I could not help clapping my hands as it Blipped to the bottom of the uest, and the little bird hopped in after It with a kind of provoked triumph in ber manner, as if she said, "What a fool! wby didn't I know that before?" LitUe jgirla and boys! Iearn a lesson from this little.bird, and don't give up, bnt keep trying. THE. IMPROTED FIiOBESOE.

THE PEAIEIE GBAVE.
A Sketch of Blacek Haljohman and Hla Boy.
BT D. a. 8.
Upon tho wido oralrlo I wandered alone. Beyond the Mississippi, far from my home; ¦rhe grass ot tho prairie was wlthereo aud
dead; Thpsadness of autumn around me wasspread.
When Io! Inmy pathway, what shonid I be¬ hold I
A trave right beforo me—It could not be old
AS the clods were all fresh,and turfless the sod
With foot;prlnls 'round whera tho carriers bad trod.
I paused In roy Journey, and pensive and lone.
Stood still and reflected, aa twilight camo on;
Til. wind was subsiding, and dirge-like its bum;-,—...-.^.'-.
The breeze in Its wailing a requiem sung.
Was Itsome immigrant, across the blue sea? Or was It some stranger, who wandered like
me? Wiio far from his kindred, bis children, hla
home. Died unlaraented, aud waa buried unknown.
Alt', uo.'tis but short, some child's grave it
inust be, ¦Smiio dear lillio darling cot off iu lUi glee; Some lond liltle nursling just toru from tiie
breast. Of Its heart-stricken mother, here laid to rest.
J thought of my own Utile loved ones at home. Oil ¦ bow could I tell, since I left Ihem to
roam; Komo might many days be slumbering in
deatii, Isume might eveu now, be breatbiug their
last breath.
1 thought of m^- LiXA, lliree mouliisln ber
tomb. Mow suddeuly she died in childhood's fall
bloom! Willie lost in memories so pensive, so sweet. My tears were bedewing the grave at my feet. I felt the sad Instability of things; How hopes aie illusive, how joys take tbelr
wlnas. How deith calls tiie loved one,':, we Tal.-:e the
most, llow soon at the best allof earth must bo lost.
I pitied lhe poor ou tho plains oftlie Wesi; What tolls and privations, they have at tbe
test ! As tlie tenantlesK waste recalls lo their mind. The laud of their fathers, the fi-lends left
behind.
Nijriit was advauciug, when I turned from the
spot. To seek for refuge some new seltier's col; Where by a kind matron, my wants wire
supplied. And thus to my (lueries, the lady replied:
" You see on the swell ofthe prairie, a lighl Glimmfcrlng sofiilntii', thro'the diirkn£ss of
night. That is the homestead of Blazek Heiachman.hc Camo from Bohemia, o'er tbe deep wide sea.
"He brougiit with him iilther his only loved
child; A boy of threo summers, so winsome so mild; Who was to bis father, bis hope and his pride; Who loved him the more, since bis mother
had died.
"He iiad no oue else, with wbom he couit?
speak. Our lauguage to lilm was like Hebrew, or
Greek; But sad to relate the event that befell; As it happened, the boy fell luto the well.
" Uls fallier soon missed hliu. and frantic and
wild. He plunged to tbe bottom, to seek his lost
child; And there In tbe water ho fouud bim again, And now, lo get ouw-lio was struggling in
vain.
** Uis cries brought no assistance, no oue was
nlch. Until al a distance, some hunters passed by; 'WJio.so steps were arresled by a dog acting
queer. And whlnluf' aud howling; aud when tbey
drew near
Tbey saw Blazek Halschmau, deep down In
the well; Yet how to assist lilm lhey scarcely could tell; But alter contriving and searchlni' about, Tbey threw him a clothes line, and hoisted
him oul.
"But what their surprise, and how saddened
their loy. To see bim como forth wllh his de.id litllo boy; He clasped the rope and the dead boy. aK I tell, And so Blazek Halshman came outol ihewell.
*' And thus, three days Blnce, on the spot
where you've been. Little Joseph w;as laid in the grave you've seen And now his poor father,bereft and alone. Laments for his boy In his desolate hotue,"
SOSE CLUTOED'S SOEBOW.
"Inl* each life some rain must fall. Some days be dark, and sad, and ilreary." Eo3e Cliflbril Bat by the wimlow thiuking, and gazing out at tlie statB as they rose ono above tbe otber iu tlie early twilight.
Eose was not beautirul, only good and lovely, with a face which any one who saw her eould not help loving, and a heart large enougii to grasp all man- klu',! in itseyuipathy ; but to-night she miglit have beeu culled almost beauti¬ ful, as she B.it, witb her large, mourn¬ ful eyes gazing upward, and ber hair banging in one solid mass over ber fair shoulders, while the moonbeams caugbt every golden tress iu their silver meshes.
Was she dreaming as she sat there so statue-like and slill? Ahuii! life with her was too muuli of a reality for that; she WUS only thinking sad thoughts. Most of Bosa'a life bad been one of unsbiueand happiness. Tbeonly child of indulgent parents, naturally of a cheerful and lively disposition,respected und beloved by all wbo knew ber, how could she help being happy 7 But to¬ night, although her parents were more loving and friends kinder than ever, althougb everi'thiug arouud was cov¬ ered witb beauty, aud full of music and poetry, siie was not happy.
Two years before sbe had given her heart, with all its flrat, pure, undl\'ided alTection to Earnest Leslie, ayoungman of untarnished character, and every way worthy ber affection. How she had loved him, and worshipped him, none but herself ever knew. She al¬ most feared sbe bad loved bim above her Master, and He, in tender mercy, had taken away ber idol to draw ber to Himself.
To-night, as she gazed out In the moonshine, overtbebills, she could see the distant cemetery, dotted here and there with white slabs, to mark the resting-places of the departed; and there, while tbe stars looked calmly dowu, and sweet zepbyrs murmured iu varied cadences, sbe knew Ernest was Bleeping. She had planted fiowers over his grave, and often watered it with her tears; but sorrow and crying cannot bring our loved ones back across the river, aud Bosa kuew she must give bim up.
He said before be died, "Bosa, for your sake I would like to live; but our Father knoweth best, and I leave you in His hands. If I bad been spared I might have worked aome In his vine¬ yard , but, Bosa, ' He doeth all things well.' Follow flim always, and we shall meet again. Find some one to love and care foryou, anddo not grieve after me. Think of mesometimes, and the home where I'm going, but do not be unhappy."
Not grieve after him! not be un¬ happy! How could she help it? Bhe knew he.was safe now in heaven; that no sorrow coald ever reach him again; "till ehe missed him, and her heart
continnally kept crying out for'fhis tender love and manly presence. Yet, for the sake of her parents, she would bear Itall patiently.
" Eose, come down stairs. Frank is in the parlor waiting for you." It was Bosa'a mother who spoke, and she auswered: "Yes, mamma, X will come." Beader, would you like to see Frank ? If ao, we will just take a peep into the parlor. Seated ou a sofa is a young man about twenty-five years of age, with dark brown liair, and eyes of tbe same oolor, iu wliich you cau read at once intelligence and goodness of heart.
Eose Clifford and Frank Summerlleld bas been friends from early childhood; from the lime wbeu they used to make the grand old woods resound with mer¬ ry laughter, and search for glossy nuts among the brown leaves of Autumn ; from the time when tbey attended llie same school, in tbe old log school house on the hill, and recited in tbe same books, joining in tbe same sports, and eating from the same basket.
It was a sad thing for Frauk wheu, a few yeara before. Earnest Leslie, a young man studying for the miniatry, entered the qniet neighborhood, and In a short time won Bosa's heart.
Frank bad loved Eose ever siuce he could remember. Sbe had always beeu lbe star that liiled bis Iife„witb bright¬ ness; allhough unknown to ber, for be bad always kept his secret bid away dowu iu his own heart. Frank bad al- waysseemed like a kind brother to Eose. She never thought of bim as anything more than a dear frieud, aud aa abe had uo brollier, ahvays felt sure of an esdort iu Frauk, wherever she wished to go. But after Earnest came, things chauged, nud he was her con- stantchaperon. Frank, feeling tbat he had no claim on iier longer, and ihinkiug it best for himself avoided her society as much as possible; but uow he felt sorry for Boae, ami thought he would cal! and see her. Eose felt that sbe had beeu slighted liy lhe friend of her cliildhiiod ; and asshe was so lonely to-uigbt. it was welcome news when informed thatFiank had come. So she hastened tj brush lier hair and go down.
"Good evening, Kose." "\Vb.v, Frank, good evening; is it really you'? 1 tbougbt you had ijuite forgotten your old friend."
"Ob, no, Bosa. I bave been very mucb engaged lately, but to-night I thouglit perbapu you might be lone¬ some, aud lis T liadalitllelimetDSpare, thought I would call aud take jou to church, iryim'd like logo."
"Oh yes, if there is meeting I wuuld like to go. How kind of you, Frank, to call for me to-night of all otber nigbt.s when I am so lonel.v ; hut you always were like a kiud, good brother to me, and always happen to come just at tbo time." " Who is to preach?" " Mr. Tiltor., the miuister frora Den¬ ton, Is bere, and be is said to be a supe¬ rior preacher. I saw him to-dty, and he is a flue lookiug man ; just sucb a man as I think you would like to hear preach, Bosa."
What a pieasaut lid^ they had over the smooth roads; and wliata splendid sermon Mr. Tiiton delivered.
" Thou Shalt have no other gods be fore me," was tbe text, and Bosa felt, w.hiieliKteniug to tbat pointed and able discourse, that sbe bad almost forsaken God, and made Earnest her idol. He had been first in her affections, and God second; and she felt that she justly deserves lo lo'^.e him ; henceforth nothing sliould come belweeu ber and her Maater.
Witb tbese thoughts lllliiig her mind Bo.oa roturned home, and when Frank bid ber good night, he left her mucb happier tban when he came.
When tbe peace of Heaveu fills tbe soul, the heart cannot be unhappy; and Bose was soon herselfngain, think¬ ing of the pnst as an oasis iu her life, and of Earnest as blessed anil happy.
Frank came often now, and tbey spent many hours In social conver¬ sation.
Tbree years bad passed away since Earnest " fell asleep; " lliree years of chauge—joy to some and sorrow to others. Eose bail ceased to grieve for him, but Ibougbt ofbim sometimes a he had reiiuested ; oud the home wbere be bad goue. Bweet peace filled her heart, allhough .she sometimes felt a longing for human sympathy and lovo. Frank had been gone two yeara, being called away on busine.ss, aiul she missed him sadly. It wns true she received letters from him frequently, but that was not like having some one to talk Willi; but he was returning soon, and she was lookiug forward to tlie time wlieu he would arrive. She won¬ dered if two years' traveling had chauged him much, .ind ifhe wotild be glad to see her. Sbe knew she would him. Ab! Cupid's dart bad almost found tt lodging placu iu her heart agaiu.
Frank returued, strong aud robnat, aud more mauly thau ever. Boae looked on him with admiration, and he was well pleased witb the manner iu wbicb she welcomed bim hume.
Frank's fatber has died, leaving him the old homestead, and all be wished for now waa some one to share it with him. He knew Eose was the only one that could ever fill the void in his heart, and yet knowing tbe great love ahe had for Earneat In past years, he hesitated to lay open bis heart to her, fearing he would uot be received. However, as Ihreeyeara had paaaed by since theu, he resolved to settle the point by try¬ ing.
On a beauliful evening, sucb an one as lovers deem most appropriate for wooing and winning, an opportunity offered itaelf to bini. He called aud found Eose alone in the parlor. Sbe looked fair and lovely, aa ahe always did; and to Frank she appeared, as sbe alwaya had doue, tbe sweetest wo¬ mau on earth.
They talked ou various subjecta, aud then Frauk, feeling that he muat speak about that whicb was nearest his heart, commenced:
"Eose, I know how three long years ago, you buried your heart's idol In the churchyard, and felt tbat you could never be happy again; and I know, too, how some one else bas loved you all tbeae years, as well asJEarneat did, and would, lay down his life for your sake. I have never yet spoken, think¬ ing it almost sacrilege to do so, since Earnest's death, but I feel thatl can keepsilence no longer, and must speak. " Eose, you never knew it, but ever since we were childreu I have loved you ; and to-night I have come to ask you if you cannot love mo a little in return. Ido not wish yoa toworehip me, only to love me as one wbo bos his faults with the rest of humanity. Bay, Bose, can you not do it?"
Frank, this is rather unexpected. I have always loved you as a brother, and thought of you as a dear frieud; but aa for making you my husband, I never thought of auch a thing. I will study over It, and ifyou will call a week from to-night, I win tben give you my deci¬ sion."
Xn ber own loom tbat night Bose tliought of Earnest'B words, " *y and flud some one to love and care for you;" and who could sho find that would love her better, or be more wortby than Frank, and tbat she could love with a purer affection ? Need I tell you that she decided to love him, and that Frank was made happy by her anawer a week following?
They were married In Spriug, and Eose went to make the old homestead as near a little paradise on earth as possible. Her flrst great sorrow had strengthened and purified h'er heart, aud sbe uow realized fully wbat Earn¬ eat once aaid, " Eose, He doeth all thiugs well."
OEOWIH OF DISEASE AND CIVILIZATION,
Tlie attention of learned men has been frequently called of late to the appearance of diseases unknow or very uucommon some years ago. Thereis, moreover, a rapid increase of some dis¬ orders common at all times, Thua, jnafinity ia iucreusing iu Great Britain at a much greater rate thau tbe popula¬ tion. In 1859 there were classed as ln>anB'1u-^Digla:nd ahd Wales, 37,762, while npon the Jat of January, 1SV2, there were aS,G40, an iur crease of over flfty-flve per cent, iu tliirteen years. In 1S59 there were ISO lunatics to every one hundred thou¬ sand persons, while now there are 249 iu the same number. Aud all this is true in the face of the fact that great attention lias beeu paid to tlie treat¬ ment of the insane witbin a few years. Disease of tiie lieart is also rapidly lu¬ ereasiug In • the male aes. Wilbin twenty years lbe number of deaths amoug tbe meu between tbe ages of twenty and forty-flve (the working yearsofaman'sjife) has nearly doubled, while tbere has been hardly any in¬ creaae In the mortality of women by tlie same diaeaae. This result is due to the feverish excltemsut of modern life which naturally exbaqats the vltaj powers of men engaged in the compe¬ titiou of busiuess or the general strife for position and wealth. Neuralgia, one of tbe most common diseases now, was hardly known a century since, and softening of ibe biairi ia said liardly ever lo bave been thought of. It is but a little while since some startliug ata- liaties in reference to the growing prev¬ alence of Bright'^ di5(!ase in thia couu¬ try were published. The reader will ob- aerve thai most of tbeae disordera arise fr. m trouble wilb Ihe brain, tbe heart, or the nervous system. In searching for the causes tbe student is led lo the special features of our modern life. He finds in tbe increase of comforts, sani. tar.v iuiprovements, advance of medi¬ cal scieuce, etc., tlie exjJanation of tbe decrease of mortality. But the growth of luxury, lack of open air exerciae, ir¬ regularity of living, pressure of busi¬ uess aud overwork account for tbe ex¬ haustion of mental and physical energy aud lbe breaking down of men before tliey have really done Ihoir proner work. Civilization has uot brought un- mingled good resulta. We cannot live as fast as at preseut without a sacrifice of health and vigor.
BOW TO EIDE A COLT.
The following atory told by John iSmilh—we will suppose his name to be Smilh—and bis son Virgil, is said to bea "true bill." Smith had avery promising young horae, now for tbe first time in training for the track. The other day Vlrgll, a bright little chap some ten years of age, was speed¬ ing the colt around the track, and was making tbe run iu a gallant style, wben the colt suddenly abied and threw the boy off. Tbe cauae of this was a young porker that had stowed himself in some brush close to tbe track, a quiet spectator of tbe colt's performance, until the latter got almost opposite to him, when, hog¬ like, be made a violent rush, witb the result meniioned. By the time bis anxious father reacbed the ground the boy was on his feet, unhurt. Baid the father:
" Virgil, you don't know bow to ride a colt, to let a little pig like that make bim throw yon off. I don't want tbe colt spoiled; X want him to go round the track, and I'll show ynu that a pig can't prevent bim."
"I'll bet you," said Virgil, "he'll throw you, too, if a pig makes bim jump like he did witb me."
" Ko he wont't, Virgil; you cau get in the bush there, aud wheu X ride bim round you can grunt like a pig. I'll show you how It Is done," said tbe elder Smith.
Accordingly tbe colt was caught and mounted by Smith, the elder, tbe boy in the meantime having taken his po¬ sition in the bush to play the role of pig, In which he succeeiled to perfec¬ tion, for wlien the sire, after a rattling ruu bad reached the proper place, be started like a young grizzly, and tear¬ ing out of tbe bush, caused the panic- stricken colt to pitch hia rider inglori- ously In the dirt. Gathering himaelf up, besaid, savagely: "What did you do that for? X told you to grunt like a pig, and not like a blasted old hog."
TACT.
How easily aome men move in tbe lineof performance. Every act seems to fall aa gracefully aud graeioualj' as if it were consummate art. No matter wbat ia iu hand, or how new the atti¬ tude, the feat is so smoothly done, you would say the excellence grew out ot vocation, or came from incesaaut study. Tbis ease accompanies all they do. I'hey are versatile and never surprised. In society lhey are easy spokesmen. In buainess, their presence and ad¬ dress carry tbe day. Wbileanotber, In¬ tellectually greater, and of rare special gifts, stumbles and blunders in eyery step he takes ; tbe man of tact—and with little else besides—will akim along over tbe surface of things to succeaa aud fortune. Tbe difference between tbem is the differeuce between oil and friction. If we were to apeak of tbia faculty lu tbe lauguage of Gall and Spurzbeim, we should aay it ia uot derived from any particular organ, but la tbe happy equilibrium of them all. It haa no eye to time and sur¬ roundings, and aa a close observer of tbe unities and tbe; sequeucea of thought, It puts the rigbt remark and the right deed in tbe rigbt place. If our example is s lawyer, be Impresaes thejury by his adroit manner, and bis strange sympathy with tbeirown views. If an orator, be captivates by bia ready phrase and sobriety of statement, or by his natural style and method. Possessed by the teacher, this gift makesa well-ordered school. It has the knack of command and aaaertlon, and produces thej.serene and happy home. Interfering as it does in the tumult of coufiicting Iwills and undisciplined minds, it acts as a chemical mordant to evolve harmony. The raan of tact, put him where you will, ia everywhere triumphant. He is, to uae a familiar phrase, whicb means much, always " perfectly at hqme."
VEZAiioas OF A Fsoin yabs.
BY BOGQS.
We have recently moved into a house that haa a front yard. We liave always lived in bousea whose front yard was thestreet. Children will play in the yard whether there ia a street funning through it or not. After two or lliree of them had barely esciiped being run over by the teams that insisted on run¬ ning tbrough our front yard, wife said she must rent a houae ihat hadn't any atreet in it.. So we did. ButLord! tbe children didu't make any accouut ofit; they are iu the atreet as much as ever, accumulating tbelr daily supply of nar¬ row escapes.
Wife said tlie yard looked bare witb¬ out shrubs, aud flowers, and viues. X hinted that a little graaa would help It too. She asked me if I knew where I could get some, aud I lold her tbat I knew a little grass widow on the next street. If slie would do. I retreated fol¬ lowed by tbe rolling pin.
One morning as I was going away, wife asked me to bring her a few "an¬ nuals" wben X came back. I wondered what she wanted witli annuals, as I rode down In the street car, but X am accustomed to a blind obedience to her requests, so when I weut home at night I brought ber some annuals. Tbere were "Dr. Jayne's Medical Almanac," I remember, and the "Old Fellows' An¬ nual Offering," and a ''New Year'a Address, for 1SC2," and the "Birth Day Gift," and numerous annual addresses before agricultural associations that had accumulated on my hands.
" Good gracious," esclalmefl IJrs, Boggs (abe never swears like tbat uu¬ lesa uudet great excitement), " what haveyou brougbt me?"
"Annuals, Mrs. Boggs," said I. "You said you wanted aome anmiala, aniJ here they are,"
Then Mrs. Boggs burat out laughing and cried, " Why, you old fool you, (we have been married twenty years, but Mrs. B. calls me pet names yet), the annuals X mean are fiowers,such as verbenas, pansies, daaiea, morning?glo^ lies, mignonette and the like, to aet out in our front yard." Then, she took all the pains to collect aud set tbem out In the baek yard amoug other rubbish.
The next morning she asked if I thought I could get her some rcsea for the front yard. To!d ber I knew a man who had got a lot of early rose potatoes, but it waan't the right tjme for settin J them out. (t have" an Idea tbat the ground is much better em¬ ployed in raising a potato than iu rais¬ ing a flower, unless it be a barrel of flour.)
Wife said I hadn't a bit of taste, She tben gave me a memoranda of rosea abe wanted.- I was busy all day, but just aa I waa abouc taking a car for horae thought of the roses. I referred to the memoranda and found the fol¬ lowing:
" Get a few gerauiumSiVucbias, helio¬ trope, roses, bourbon, runulng rose, 'Prairie Queen,' goldeu fest plant, vinea, English Ivy, Wandering Jew, aeeda etc."
X atudied it Iiard, but it was slightly incomprehensible. Sbe bnd evidently got things mixed up. However, I went to a florist and told liim wbat I wanted. Said I: "Give me a few geraniums and a few abe'a and—"
"A few wbat?" asked the fiower man, looking very pqzjied.
"A few she's," said I turuing very red, I know, for I couldu't tell lor the life, of me what my wife wauted ofa few she's about the place, as she uever could live in tbe same house with another woman.
As the florist looked more etaggered than ever, I banded bim the memo¬ randa, when be bursted into a loud laugh.
" Why, man," h cried, " il'afuchias ahe wants!" and then be roared again: " Well, whatever il ia, give me a couple of yards'of It, anywhow—front and back yard,.too." You see I was mad. I got tbe thinga the memoranda seemed to call for at varioua placea aud went home.
" Here, Mra. Bogga," eald I, testily, " are the things for your front yard."
"Why, whatis this?" she cried, as I thruat a two-gallon jug upon her, among other thinga.
"Bourbon, my dear; I found it on the memoranda. Pretty thing to aet out iu the foout yard Ibuugb, How long do you s'poaa It'll slay there, with the ueighbors, we've got 1"
"Bogga, y'ou are Infernal ; that
memorandum was a "Bourbon Eose.' But what is tbia naaty little book ?" holding up a dime novel, with a bighly colored title page, representing a gor¬ geous squaw ou a fiery and untamed mustang.
"That? Why, you ordered it, didn't you? Thatis'Bunning Eose; or the Prairie Queen,' one of Beadle's, you know."
My wife carried it at arm's length and threw it into the atove. Then ahe took the jug of Bourbon and emptied it into the back gutter. While ahe wa,i gone I concealed Alexander Du¬ mas' " Wandering Jew," which I alao had purcbaaed, for I began to see tbat I bad made a terrible blunder in filling that order. (Ihave since ascertained that " Wandering Jew" is the name of a vine, but how was I expected to know all about It?)—y/jo J'at Contrib¬ utor.
