THE GOLDSBOEO MESSENGEB, MAY 10, 1886.--DOUBLE SHEET. 17 IS WELL, y Yes, it is well! The evening shadows lenben. .Home's golden gates shine on our ravished ; And thovShfee tender ties we try to strength- Break onoby one-at evening time is light. 'Tis well! The way was often dull and weary. The spirit tainted oft beneath ite load; No sunshine came from skies all gray and Andd yetour feet were bound o tread that road. 'Tis tfeffthat not again our he<suteT Reneath old sorrows, once so hard to bear, ! That not again beside beath's darksome: river. Shall we deplore the good, the loved, the fair. No more with tears, wrought frotn deep, inner anguish, . ! , , , Shall we bewail the dear hopea crushed and No more need' we in doubt or fear to languish, So far the day js past, the journey done I As voyagers, by fierce winds beat and broken. Come into port, beneath the calmer sky, So we, still bearing on our brows the token Of tempest past, draw to our haven nigh. A sweet air cometh from the shore immortal. Inviting homeward at the day's decline. a immt w bpa where from the ooen portal Fair forms stand beck'ning with their smiles divine. r 'Tis well! The earth with all her myriad voices Has lost the power our senses to enthral, We hear, above the tumult and the noises. Soft, tones of musit , like an angel's call. 'Tis well, oh friends! We would not turn i rtrflclnsr The long, vain years, nor call our lost youth Gladly, with spirits braced, the future facing. We leave behind the dusty, foot-worn track. Chamber Journal. ACIIUISTIAN HOUSEKEEP ER. The Rev. Dr. Talmagn says: One of the most affecting reminiscences of my mother is my rememberance of her as a christian housekeeper. She worked very hard, and when we would come in from summer play, and sit down at the table at noon, I remember how she used to come in with beads of Eerspiration along - the line of gray air, and how sometimes jshe would sit down at the table, and put her head acrainst her wrinkled hand and say: Well, the fact is I'm Jtoo tired to eat." Long after she might have dele gated this duty to others, she would not ba satisfied unless she attended to them herself. In factj we all preferred to have her to do so, for somehow things tasted better when she prepared them. Some time ago, in an express train, I shot past the old home stead. I looked out of the window, and tried to peer through the dark ness. While I was doing so, one of my old schoolmates, whom I had not seen for many years' slapped me on the shoulder, and said: I)e Witt, 1 see vou are looking out at the scenes df your boyhood.'" "O, yes" I replied. "I was looking out at the old place where my mother lived and died. That night, in the cars, the whole scene came back to me. There, was the noonday table. There were the chil dren on either side of the table mpst of them gone never to come back. At one end of the table, my father, with a smile that never left his countenance even when he lay in his coffin. It was an eighty-six years smile not the smile of inanimation, but of Christian courage and of Christian hope. At the other end of the table was a beau tiful, benignant hard-working mother. She was very tired. I am glad she had so good a place to rest in. "BlessT ed are the dead who die in the Lord; they rest from their Jabors, and their works do follow them." WlfcAT OCT It YOITNO 31 EN J NEED. :, The great need of technical educa tion in this country is becoming more and more understood and recognized says an exchauge. Our American method is to taken-a bov or young man into a, shop or mill and let him pick up what knowledge he can. In Eu rope they are taught by trained and zealous instructors and disciplined into a thorough acquaintance with all the details of .craft. Our slip-shod ways cannot bear us out against the scien tific methods of other countries. A Western exchange in commenting on this deficiency and shortsightedness says: But and here is the point when emigrants have been here a year or more, haye become acquaint - ed with our manner and methods o work, they are in great demand, and frequently given the preference. Why At bottom is the neglect here of pro fessional training, and allowing the boys to pick up the requisite know ledge at random, in Europe every apprentice, artist, engraver, printer, etc., has to serve a term of from four to five years, learning his business thoroughly, and earning in the mean while merely a trifling salary as an ap- prentice, isut immediately alter nn lshing his apprenticeship his salary is at least doubled. Our system here is to let everybody learn as best he can and to continue to addto his pay as long as he works cheaper than a man. This practice-has given us at least three- ' fourths of the number of men that are of the least possible use, men who have to be continually propped up by somebody else, buch a system must be abolished." THINK A LITTLE. Did you ever sit down on a Saturday night and make a careful inventory of the week! Did you ever stop to con sider the number of nickles and dimes spentduring the week for which you' have nothing to show: Did you eyer think how much more money could have been saved for a ' 'rainy day" from the week's earnings, had you have done to yourself and the loved fs at home? Can vou not on Satur- ty night look back over your acts of the past week and see where you could have been the means of doing good to some poor creature, some unfortunate one whose toil could have been made f he easier by some pleasant word from you, which naving neglected the op portunity, you have a feeling of re gret, and could you but live over again the days that are gone, you would haye lived them betierf These are but few of the many thoughts that come to the minds of the considerate on Saturday night, and if you have never pondered over the experience of a short week of your life, do this Sat urday night, ana see if you can't im- Erove on the next week. You will ave food enough for reflection. For Fifteen years 1 was annoyed with severe pain in my head and discharges into my throat from catarrh. My sense of smell was much impaired. By the use of Ely's Cream Balm I have overcome these troubles. J. B. Case, St. Denis Ho tel, New York. I find Ely's Cream Balm good for ca tarrh of long standing. M. N. Lasley, 1934 West Chestnut St, Louisville, Ky. ON STOCKINGS. If there is a bashful young man about to read this article he had bet ter skip itv An eminent literary light and . a shre wd observer , of humanity otce remarked in my hearing that he could immediately tell the character of any woman whose stockings he might see. I have been, since then, wonderfully amazed at the justice of this man assertion. Not the face, nor the eyes, nor the frock, gives half as clear an insight into the feminine na ture as the stockings. Many years of laborious study have T given i to the subject, and they only go to prove the truthfulness of his remark. The put come of my studies may be given to the public m the following brief state ment: Striped Stocking.- Young man, be ware of the owner of striped stockings! The gaudier the stripes, the more she should be shunned. She is a lion, seeking who she may devour. She is the ice cream girl who wants you to take her to the theatre, to the skating rink, to the church suppers. And if you won't take her she will give you the G. B., and go therewith some body else. Ah, my young friend, the sirens should be painted with striped stockings,and I am surprised that Ulysses never said a word about it in his narrative. : Blue Stockings. As a newspaper man I ought not to say much against the has lieu. The blues have very little beauty as a rule, but they make up for it in their wit. If you have a good level head and are not very slow at re partee, you may go with impunity with the blues. Otherwise you had much better stay away."5 You might lose your heart to them twenty times over and they would only laugh at you. You may not find the fact mentioned in Anthon, but it is my private belief that Minerva wore stockings of a beautiful azure. Pink Stockings. Just wait until you see "Nanon !" At present you are supposed to know nothing of the ballet or chorus girls. Black Stockings. About black or brown stockings I have little to say. Their wearers are mostly good and modest, pure and refined women. If heaven sends you a black or brown stockinged angel in matrimonial lot tery, you ought to make the rest of your life an uninterrupted thanksgiv ing day. Red Stockings. No matter how nice yourDulcinea maybe, if she be partial to red stockings, she is as much to be dreaded as the girl with red hair. If you, with the characteristic blindness of young men", heed not this warning, remember it when in due course of time you kick against a new spring bonnet. In the tempest that follows, and in the subsequent calm, when you collect your remains together, remem ber this warning and what it would have saved you. As Anacreon but too truly says in his little "Song of the Broken Head:" "Of stocking red and auburn hair, I tell thee, lhocris, be aware !" White Stockings. A white stockinged woman is either an old maid or one who careth not for the esteem of men. She who wears white stockings has no poetry in her soul. For her the soar ing flood of music from a quivering bird is as the chattering crow; the glorious hues of a crowded garden in ferior to the beauties of a gaudy bit of calico. The swiring rusnl of fleecy clouds over the gaunt, appealing, naked arms of the moaning, shivering trees, a sign of a windy day. The white-stockinged woman is soulless. MORAL CHARACTER. There is nothing which adds so much to the beauty and power of man as a good moral character. It is his wealth, his influence, his life. It dignifies him in every sration, exalts nim in every condition, and glorifies him at every period 01 lite, ouch a character is more to be desired than everything else on earth. Itmakes a man f reeand indepen dent. No servile tool-croaking sycoph ant, no treacherous honor-seeker ever bore such a character.-The pure joys of truth and righteousness never spring in such a person. If young men but knew how much- a cood character would dignify and exalt them, how glorious it would make their prospects even in mis lire, never snouid we nnd them yielding to the groveling and base-born purposes of human nature.
