To love me. though I die, thy whole life long. And love no other till thy days shall end Nay, it were raeh and wrong. If thou caDst love another, be it so; I would not reach out of my quiet grave To bind thy heart if it should choose to go Love should not be a slave. Thou wouldst not feel my shadowy carress, If, after death, my toul should linger here; Men's hearts crave tangible, close tend erness, Love's presence, warm and near. It would not make me sleep more That thou wert wasting all thy life in woe oil ii j?or my poor sane; wjianovewxou nastjtha. t, keep themselves re Bestow it ere I go. Carve not upon a stone when I am dead The praise which remorseful mourn- ers give To woman's graves- -a tardv recom- pense Butpeak them while I live. Forget me when I die ! The violets Above my rest will blossom just as blue. Nor miss thy tears; e'en Nature's self forgets. But while I live, be true ! BRINGING UP GIRLS. The privileges of motherhoods are sweet and precious, but its duties and responsibilities are of the most solemn character, how solemn few women truly realize, and fewer still rightly understand, other wisa life would not show such daily record of discourage ment, disappointment and defeat. One of the most important duties of a mother of daughters is to fit them for the future that will presumably be theirs by inheritance, as well as for that future which may possibly be theirs by accident. The best prepa ration for prosperity or poverty is a thorough knowledge of everything pertaining to housekeeping, from its lowest to its highest offices, and added to this a well-balanced, well-informed mind. A good mother, who is the wife of a man of moderate means, has per haps the best opportunities for thus equipping her daughters for the battle of life, because she is not likely to be absorbed in the follies and fashions of the day, but must give her time to the performance of those services on which the comfort and happiness of her household depends. A wise mother wili demand the assistance of her daughter in every department of the home, not for her help alone, but ior the knowledge and experience it will give them, but she will not require it at the expense of the sacrifice of ul! their time, for she will see to it thit their mental faculties are trained and developed by all the means within their reach. By this I do not mean that she will merely send them to school for the usually allotted term of years, to get a smattering of this and that ology, but she must do more; she must build on the foundation they have gained, however slight, making time for the selection, reading and discussion of good books, making that as much a daily duty as any per formance connected with the routine of housekeeping. This course, and the moral training which every good and wise mother looks upon as imper ative, added to another to be men tioned later, will prepare a young girl for an3' ordinary fate the future may have in store for her, as no other course will develop into a trae woman who is not equipped with the knowledge j needed to make a refined, as well as a j comfortable home. Whether a girl's future is to be a comfortable and happy one depends largely upon her early education in matters temporal and spiritual. A wise course will be to teach her to live as happily a3 possible in the position and circumstances to whfch she is born, and not to fill her mind with foolish ambitions fostered and en couraged l3' extravagance in dress. One of the sariest mistakes made by many a hard-working mother is the resolve that her daughter shall not work as she hasdone,but shall what? why, many wealth. To thi end the mother works harder th in ever, re qnireing no assistance from her daughters, preferring that they shall : pass their time in acauirinrr accom- j plislimenU. music, French, dancing, painting, and wh:xt not. To the end fiaed-Iooking and delicate, ami their j hanl3 soft whIte- thcV mt not ' engage in housework; so they ;rov up, delicate-looking and useless, with no knowledge worthy the name, their leisure, it" one may call it so, spared from visiting, gadding about, drum ming occasionally on the piano and receiving visitors, is spent in novel reading, and that not of the besi kind, because their reading has never had any intelligent anpervision. Whether these girls marry wealth or moderate means, or remain in single poverty, there must be more or less misery iu store for them. If thev marry men of wealth a rare acci dent their servants, finding out their ignorance of household matters, wili impose upon and tj'riuiize over them. If they marry men of inolerate means, they will either;3on have to bewail their lack of domestic knowl edge and strive painfully to atone lor it, or they will rebel at the hard lot vyhich imposes labor on their delicate unaccu3tome 1 hand?, and, as aeon sequence, becomes. morose or bittei and fretful, making everyone wretch ed about them. If single or wedded poverty be their lot they will have no resource. of knowledge or training to meet it. but will thus late either hive to sei about to learn or else give up in dispair. To conclude, it is fhe dutv of everr mother who has no sure pecuniary foundation to budd upon for her daughters, after she has grounded them in domestic knowledge and done : 1 1 sTie could to train them mentally and spiritually, to have them tinghi a trade or profession and thus equip them fully to "face the world" if this need shall come to them.

A newspaper in Illinois recently brought suit against forty-three men who would not pay their subscription, and obtained judgment in each for full amount of the claim. Of these, twenty eight men made affidavits that they owned no more property than the law allowed them, thus preventing attach ment. Then they, under the decision of the Supreme Court, were arrested for petty larceny, and bound over in the sum of 300 each. All but six gave bonds, while six went to jail. It makes no difference to what part of the conti nent the paper goes, a bill sent to the postmaster, justice of the peace or any United States officer, can ba collected. Exchange. v We think that it is boubtful. We have some subscribers, and have had several, that no United States officer, nor any other sort of officer, could col lect anything from. The fact is, a mule could not kick a dollar out of them. It is sad to know how some seemingly res- pectable men will, by false evasions, try to keep from paying a small debt for a newspaper.
