DF.SSOXV Out on the waters found floating Only a Magdalen's clay Only a frail lainb that wantlercd From tlie shepherd's fold away Over the fair lace disfigured . ; Cling the wet curls of gold ; Over the passionless bosom The wan, white hands infold. . Gather the winding-sheet higher Over the violet eyes y . That even in death seem holding I ' A gleam of the June-time skies , -But lay ler away to slumber, .; . Far from our beautiful dead Where never a daisy shall blossom . Over tier sinful hcad. ! What right has slic to the sunshine To the ftongs of singing birils She who has wandered in by-wajs i . Lured by tempting words. Give her place in the shadow, Where -only the dew ami the rain Shall fall like pitying tear-drops ' , Over her bed of shame. God may forgive herbut never Man, who has led her astiay Can look with a throb of pity" Upon her Magdalen's clay ; The angels who dwell in the Presence Ma' make for her spirit room, But earth has nothing to give hor, "Even arose-tree to 'bloom. . t Then bury her under the shadows, Where only the dew ami the rain ShalJ fall like pitying tear-drops Over her bed of shame.' - DOXT FORGET, A successful business man says there were tw6 . things which lie learned when .he was eighteen, which were afterwards 'of great use to him, s-riamelv, "Xever ' to lose anvlhin'ir, and never to forget anvthincc." An old lawyer sent him witlr an impor Jtant paper'with-ccrtain instruciions what to do with it, "But," inquired the young" man, "suppos'e I lose it what shall I do then?" The answer was, with the ntmos emphasis, "You must not lose it !" "I don't mean to," said the young tean, "but suppose I should happen to ?" i.. 1 . - " But I say yourjuist not happen toll shall make no provision for any 6nch occurrence. You must not lose it 17 , t ' ' This put a new train of thought ' into the young man's mind, turd he found that if he was determined to , do a thins he could do it. lie made snch provision against every contin gency, thatjhe never lost anything. lie found Hhis 'equally true about forgetting.- If a, certain matter of importance'; was. to be remembered, he pinhedMt down ' on his mind, T fastened it there, and made it stay, -i FASHION NOTES. Yak lace is to Joe worn again. Satin is to-be worn all summer. The new redingotesnre only short ' princess dresses. " f " - 'f Bright red silk' pipings . are used on brown dresses. - Two shades of brown are much used. in walking costumes.' 'Costumes of black India cashmere have vests, of viite satin. -' Some French dresses have three vests, one above the other. - Flower heatl-dresses rise to a point at the center and have drooping " fringes. , j' I Cotton materials "embroidered in gold thread are among the thirfgs to come. : " A bride who sends cards to friends in""deep mourning should make the first call. ' n Dark mastic gray silk is the most stiylish material for a wedding trav " eling dress. .. - - Black silk stockings , are again wofn. They have bars or dots of embroidery en the inste2 or arc clocked. . j Cameos on black ground-work, the figure in a flesh-colored layer of stone . are much liked Just now. ' : Thlc pinked ruches' of silk of many colors will be . used - to trim while India cashmere dresses this . year. ' -: r ' Lawn dresses haVe a folded - scarf ..instead of .an Joverskirt. . It lies smoothly across the' front breadths and is plaited fan-fashion at the back. The Senate 'committee on privi. leges and elections, y a vote of four to two, decided, to report adversely on the petitions-asking for such ac tion as may lead to the adoption of proposed sixteenth amendment to 1 the constitution of the United States, in order to procure female suffrage.

' ' ' ' ITEMS OF INTEREST. ; -i. The Senate has conlirmed 1 the nomination of General John C. Fre- niont to be governor of Arizona Ter- ritory. A loss of over $700,000 was incur red b a fire in the extensive pork slaughtering establishment of C.. II. 2 orth & Cp., Bosiori. Massr "A boiler in a sawmilhnear Dayton Station Cattaraugus county, X. Y., exploded, . killing thred men and more or less severely , mjuridg sev- eial others. ' i A wire rope used, in lowering a caoie on tne new hncige across the East river, New York, gave way suddenly, killing two workmcrt ' and injuring two more. dead, at Arlington . cemetery and Other places in the vicinity of Wash r- . : : . ington were decorated by the South ern Memorial Association. During a fii'e on the Bowery, Xew York city, the roof of a build ing fell in, burying about thirty fire men in the ruins. Six men were se verely and several slightly "hurt. II! W, Fenton, of New York, W. S. Groesbeck, of Ohio, and Francis Walker, have been nominated to be United States commissioners at the international monetary conference. The grand jury in Philadelphia fas found a true lull of indictment against General Gideon -Clark for embezzling, in 1874, money received by him as register of wills, in that city. 1 Lieutenant Edward Totten, of the Regular army, was caught between two trains in a narrow cut on the Ifudson river ' railroad j near Cold Spring, N. Y., and killed. Three ladies with him had a narrow escape from a like fate. While a mine-car containing A. J. Williams and . Matz Beck was de scending in the Maize colliery, near Sheuendpah, Pa., it broke " from its fastenings and fell to the bottom. Williams was instantly killed and Beck probably fatally injured. . . While a party of men-were! shel tering themselves beneath a tree du ring a storm, near Oil City, Penri., two of them, Thomas Donaldson and his son, were struck by lightning and instantly killed, and another named Fink, was fatally injured. . . , : : I .:- A . CATTLE PQNDS FOR FARMS. The severe droughts which visit every year isome portion of the poun- L' cause where streams are lew an(J gmau n(j sprinsdie deep, much ufferiUcr to cattle arid a great deal j of jab0r injsupplving them with the necesgary ater to eep them alive. yye have 0ften been in sections of this kind when a drought prevailed, an(j liave "known farmers to be ot)lifTe(j lo send their cattle' .from one to thietf miles to water, but it: was done onlv once a day. 1 We i have wondered never attempted to provide fori such emergencies upon their own prem- which all of them could do I ! ! . If . ' The water from the roojs of the out handings, if carefully gathered in c-;ste'ras;. 0f ample capacity, would Ueherallv ibfi sufficient for all the stock these bliiMinffS would shelter. put in times of great drought they would probably be drained.; In this r 1 view, good-sized, deep pond"', well- constructed, eojild not fail to, ; meet all' the demand. A practical civil engineer speaking on this subject, pertinently; saL . 4'In travelling tm-ough the country, I.iini often isurnrised that Jarmers do not take advintacre- of low places - , convert Aem at littIe CXnense f a a ld soing the banks, into ponds trom the to ' receive - the rain-fall - i - i ,; surrounuing Janus, anu i thus sjupplyi their stock with water. The- "pond oi ce 'made . should be stronclv fenced and surrounded by willows to prevent evaporation. The f 'ui prevent cattle fVom -et- tJn(T intn Thfl tA hW passage leading to the pond, on the north side, where the water woujdi be accessible outside of a part of the en closure. This plan is invariably adopted iiVEngland. There I have often seen one pond commwn to four fields. They clean them every thirjd or fourth year. The! approach to the water., it should be borne in mind, must grad ually descend, so that the portion ol the pond fenced out should be of sufficient depth to draw all the water .within reach pt the cattle,, -ami the aj.proacli should give ample room for two or'three cattle tp drink at ' one time, without injuring one another 'I i " " . in their scrambles. Of course this must not be understood that we -vre commend these ponds where it is feasible to introduce the wind power to pump from wells. ' WORDS OF WISDOM. Relieve not ill of xTbiothcr till it is proved beyond doubt. Following- many vocations has ruined the llfelof many a man . Make ? yourself necessary, yjoung man, and your success is certain. 1 hp.rn is lint, nnn thmnr thnt. is sm h Ji n .i ' , ncru on cann, anu inai is ueaiu Everybody Keems tofthink himself a moral half bushel to measure the world's frailties. - V It is heaven upon earth to have a man's mind move in charjty,. rest' in Providence jand turn upon the poles of truth. I ' In the cities of the dead the houses are small and close together; and a thistle is as liable to grow from a Vich man's grave as a daisy is from the mourld that covers the dust of a ber gar. . ! -1 , It is not worth while to think too much about doing goody Doing the best that we know, mimito by min ute and hour by hour, we insensibly grow togoodness as fruit grows to ripeness; . ' Those who expect the most are lia ble toHhe greatest disappointments. A man of nuriierous desires is of all beings the most dependent. lie who contracts and jsimplifies his 1 wants will secure thelgreatest amount of happiness. j 1 Maqy promirient men'and delega tions from numerous' societies and associations attended the funeral of William Cullen Bryant in New. York . After tie services at Mr. Jjryant's church the body was taken to the dead poet's country home in Roslyn, L. L, atni interred close , to that of his wife. - bamiiel Williams, ' of Rounout, N, Y., the oldest printer in the State, is dead at the adrc of 89. ! ' ' . 1878.
