bleep And heareth not a sound It ticks and ticks the night And never runneth down 0 wondrous is the work of art Which knells the passing hour art ne'er found nor mind conceived The magic power Nor set in gold nor decked with gems By pride and wealth But rich or poor or high or low Each bears it in his breast When life's deep stream mid beds All still and softly glides Like the step with a beat It warns of passing tides When passion nerves the warrior's arm For deeds of hate and wrong Though heeded not the fearful sound The knell is deep and strong When eyes to eyes are soft And tender words are spoken Then fast and wild it rattles on As if with love twere broken Such is the clock life Of flesh and spirit blended And thus twill run within the breast Till that strange life is ended softly on tlie Bruised iir c n How softly on the bruised heart A word of kindness falls And to the dry and parched soul The moist ning calls O if they knew who walk the Earth Tid sorrow and The power a word of kindness Twere paradise again The weakest and trie poorest may Tills simple pittance give And bid delight to hearts again and live O what is life if love be If mun's unkind to Or what the heaven that waits beyond This brief and mortal span 1 As stars upon the tranquil sea in mimic glory shine So words of in the heart Rolled their source divine O then be kind thou art That mortal breath And it shall brighten all thy life And sweeten even death suffered with a strong heart with noble unyielding resolution gave her feeling of pleasure not unmixed with pride He will surely come murmured j the

ashamed of his decision but like maiw oilier men who have more obstinacy than wisdon he could not bear to retract anything and above all to be convinced that he wrong by a woman However with a commendable wish to remove the unhappiness he had caused he suggested that as the papers were carefully saved and as she had found them she could read em all over again beginning at January and taVing one a week clear through the would just come out even iie concluded as if it were a singular fact that they should do so Notwithstanding this admirable sition he still felt some It followed him as he walked up the ant lane to the pasture and it made him speak more sharply than was his wont if the cows stopped while he Was driving them to crop the grass where it all the puling epithets of clearest love and j greenest and sweetest on the darling so lavishly uttered in a long past sunny It troubled him till he courtship heard his wife call him to supper in such Very pleasant was this retrospect cheerful tone that he concluded she didn't hundred a year out of the rocky farm It does pay fur a good deal of head said she to see how different things look from what they did then Now I'm going to figure up how much we've said Mr HEATH don't make a noise with your needles cause it puts me out His laid down her in feet good humor and gazed out over the j broad rich fields of waving grain which grew so tall around the laden apple trees they looked like massive piles of Hearing her name thus kindly j spoken led he thoughts far back to the past for after the lapse of twenty-five years the simple sound of the name she bore in youth means more to a wife than HEATH The picture of the past had on it some rough places and some hard trials but no domestic strife or discontent marred its sunny There were smiling faces on children's faces without which no life care all much about the newspaper after About a week after this as Mr HEATH was one morning he was prised to see his wife come out dressed as if for a visit I'm said she to ture is beautiful Soft blue eyes shined J spend the day with Mrs with unclouded gladness and wavy hair I left plenty for you to And so floated carelessly i ing she walked rapidly on She forgot fora moment how they were Mr HEATH thought about it just long changed and almost fancied herself again enough to say to himself she don't go the young mother and tiny hands stole visitin to stay nil day once a year hardly lovingly over her bosom and young heads strange she should go in i nestled there as of old The illusion time vanished quickly and she sighed as she thought of her youngest the reckless boy who had left her three before for a home ou the sea Once only had tidings reached her of the wanderer The Ver lon the day seemed to him to go in for luncheon dinner and supper and have no body to speak to to find thing so still The old clock seemed to tick stiller than usual he thought the letter spoke of hardship and homesickness j brood of pretty white chickens that in that light nnd careless way that almost always peeping round the door had es the mothers heart more surely than re- wandered off and left it pining ami To know that he stiller yet he even missed the busy click I'm he said to himself as he be- gan to look down the road at sunset that j don't go a visitin all the time as some women she is just j corning How tired you said he as she j came why didn't you speak about it and I'd have harnessed up and come after you I'm not very she answered but her looks belied her indeed her band declared she looked tired like for a clay or two after What was his amazement to see her so away the next Tuesday in the same manner as before without saying much about it before she started To his great dissatisfaction everything seemed that day to partake of his wife's new propensity for going a way from home A man don't want cold feed in hay grumbled he as he sat down alone to ner In same grumbling mood he re- counted the mishaps of the morning which seemed to have been much after the ner set forth in a certain legend of old time for he embellished his recital by lusion to The in the meadow The ia the corn Adding that have been there if Mrs HEATH had been at home because she'd have seen em before they got in and hollered She would have seen the oxen too before got across the river and saved him the trouble getting them back But after tracing all these untoward events to her absence he said to himself consolingly I guess she Won't go any more for she always was a home body Mrs HEATH did go though and again and the day she went for the fourth time her husband look council with self as to what he should do to stop this gadding Seated on the door step in the shade of the old trees ho spent an hour or two in devising ways and measures talking aloud all the time and having the satisfaction of hearing nobody dispute him 1 It's hard to know of her gettin to be a j visitin said he and it's clear it j ain't right Keep her at I've read in the Bible old RICHARD'S Bible knowledge was somewhat confused and his quotations varied slightly from the scriptural phrase keepers at but it says he added with the true ence of a sincere man husbands must set great store by their wives and treat em well I wont scold I'll harness up and go after her to-night and comin home I'll talk it over with her and tell her how bad it makes me feel and if that do something else In accordance with his praiseworthy resolution he might have been seen about sunset his horse at Mr BROWN'S door for strange enough Mrs HEATH'S visits had all been made same place Going up to the door he stopped in a- mazement at seeing his wife in en just taking off a great woolen wash a- pron and putting down her sleeves which had been rolled up as if for He listened and heard her say as she took some money from Mrs It wont be so that I can do your washing It has been a great favor to have you do it white I've been so poorly ed Mrs and I am glad to pay you for makes four times and here's two dollars Tis just as well I that you can't come again for I think I i shall be well enough now to i Two the price of the exclaimed Mr HEATH as the truth flashed across him Rather a silent ride home they had till at last he said I never was so ashamed Of his wife to have you go out washin I aint so poor as that come to don't know when a- man is poor to take a newspaper his wife ought not to feel above going out re- plied Mrs HEATH Nothing more was said on the subject at that time through some ill feeling gered in the hearts of each The king up was no mawkish scene of and crying such as ro- mance writers build their useless with but as Mrs HEATH was finishing her household duties for the she said I don think I did quite right ARD I think I did responded the husband and so the spark was ched which might have became a ing flame blighting all domestic peace under their humble roof At last the long voyage is almost ed the sailors talk only of home They talk of those they are to meet of the wives and children to whom their thoughts have so often wandered during these three der if the sailor who lies sick will ever see his home again and with their rough tones almost subdued to gentleness they speak of his anxiety to see his mother He is so hopelessly ill that itis heart is now where the worn spirit ever turns in its hour of bitterest sorrow or its approach to the God and his er as his heart beats it still i i throbs with for life Dim j as his keen eye has became he fancies it would brighten once more at the sight of his mother and his failing ed could he lean on her breast With folded hands the young sailor prays his words are confused and tinct to those who listen but all clear all earnest and plain are they to the Great Listener And when the stately ship has reached her destined port and mingling voices are all around the sick sailor his comrades bear him carefully to a a miserable better to him than the rocking vessel in the of the sounding sea Now if I could see mother he to the strangers around him She is by the vine covered dow patiently reading the shipping nal and thinking meanwhile of her absent i boy thinking it is time for him to return and hoping that he will never go to sea again How quick the words catch her Arrived Ship Banner And it was a week ago lie could have been at home by this time he will come she said as she went to communicate the good news to her husband They watched in vain for him that night and then Mrs HEATH suggested what no mother ever failed to suggest when the prolonged absence of a child was unaccounted he must be and when night after night passed and they neither saw nor heard anything of ALFRED her anxiety would let her rest no longer We will go to him or at least go where we may hear of and Mr HEATH now as anxious as herself ily assented Their simple preparations for the journey were soon with heavy hearts they proceeded in search of their son with little hope of gaining thing more satisfactory than definite of his death It was a dark and rainy evening when they entered the city and after an hour spent in fruitless enquiries they found the place to which ALFRED had been carried Little care had he received in the ed boarding Was none of the neatness and order that shows better in a sick room than else o hands had roughly tended him and pale and as lie looked it seemed as if it mattered little what care he had now In the agony with which the parents bent over the sleeper and marked the sunken cheeks and wasted form there was but one ray of comfort they could watch over should not hear of his death with the sacl thought that none but stranger's hands had smoothed his dying pillow The sufferer awoke from a troubled dream to find his aching head supported by father and see his eyes resting upon him with a look of ble tenderness So faint was the smile of recognition with which them that only a parent's eye could have caught the flitting expression live can't said the doctor with professional carelessness as he en- tered the house the next morning But his mother has said the landlady That alters the case lie may get up answered the doctor than whom none knew better how much a mother could do But how frail seemed the thread that held that young and promising life For days it quivered and with the lightest breath and the mother prayed that it might not be A gentle care and kindly watching as ever blessed a sick had young ALFRED HEATH ami in j gradually he grew better and was able to talk with his parents and ask them how fney chanced to come to him in that hour of It was in the said Mr HEATH just four words in the paper told us that your ship had conve You didn't conre home and so we came to see if you was sick You'll soon be well enough to go home my God be he added for sending us to of you At length ALFRED was well to ride and in a few days the old homestead gladdened his How beautiful it looked as the sen shone on the in which it was with their wealth of grapes just purpling in the autumn sunshine one seemed so joyful as Mr HEATH who after being gladdened by hearing FRED say he would never go to sea again expressed his opinion of newspapers in general and his newspaper in particular on this wise I'm so glad that you took i that paper for I counta newspaper just the most necessary in a family We should never have om boy strong and well if it been for it ft i is an excellent and sh ill subscribe for it as long as I live M T H j To Preserve We condense the following recipe for preserving butler from one of our ges Itis said to be used in Orange County N a place famous for its superb butler Composition Take of sugar one part of one part and of the best Spanish great salt or rock two parts into a fine powder mix them well them by for use Of this composition one ounce should be put to every sixteen ounces of butler mix this salt thoroughly with the butter as soon asit has been the milk and put it without loss of time down into the vessel to receive it pressing it so close as to leave no air holes or any kind of cavities within it Smooth the surface and if you expect it will be above a day or before can add more cover it up close will a piece of clean linen and that a piece of wetted parchment or for of that fine linen that has been dipped in melted butter exactly fitted to the edges of the vessel all round so as to air as much as possible without sistance of any watery brine when more butter is to be added those coverings are to be taken off and the butter applied close above the former pressing il down and smoothing it as before and so on till the vessel is full When it is quite let the two covers be spread over it Jhe greatest care and let a little melted butter be poured all round the edge so as to fill up every cranny and effectually exclude the air A little salt may then bestrewed over the whole and the cover be down to remain close shut till it be ed for use If all this be done the butler may be kept perfectly sound in this climate for how many 1 lull bull have seen it two- years old and in every respect as sweet and sound as it was when only a month old Butler cured in this manner does not taste well till it has stood at least a night after being salted but after that riod has elapsed il eats with a rich rowy taste that no other butler ever quires and it tastes so little of that a person who has been accustomed to butter cured with common salt only would not imagine it had got one fourth part of the salt necessary to preserve
