SILENTLY! 
Silently ! silently! fold the hands 
Over the pulseless breast, 
Hush ! not a tear or quivering sigh— 
See! she lias sunk to rest 
Gone in her beauty’s bloom, 
Gone from hearts that loved, 
Gone to an early tomb, 
Gone to a Home abovo. 
Gone from our tears and sighs 
To a Land where they’ro unknown, 
Where praise from “evor-tnned” harps ariso 
To One ou a “ Great White Throne.” 
Then quietly fold the hands 
Over her peaceful breast, 
For He that watcheth o’er all earth’s lands 
Ileth given IIis beloved rest.

Plain Talks lo American Women.—No. 8. 
BY MRS. M. P. A. CKOZIKIt. 
“ Nay, speak no ill; a kindly word 
Can never leave a sting behind, 
But, 0, to breathe each tale we’ve heard 
Is far benoath a noble mind. 
Full oft a better seed is sown 
By choosing thus the kinder plan ; 
Then if but little good be known, 
Let’s speak of all the best we can 1” 
“Pshaw! he needn’t tell me any such stuff as 
that—he’s stingy — that’s all! Healthful! My I 
grandfather lived to be most eighty years old, and 
lie hadn’t any of these ‘new-fangled notions;’ he 
drank tea three times a day—couldn’t get along 
, without his pork just as often—chewed and smoked 
two pounds oftobucco a week, and took bis bitters 
as regularly as I do my pipe;—that shows me 
plainly enough what’s healthy in the eating and 
drinking line! Then as to washing, I don’t be¬ 
lieve he ever took a full lath, as they call it, in all 
his life! ” 
“Well, Pa, maybe if he had lived right, he would 
have lived twenty years longer than he did, and 
been more healthy than he was ! ” 
“if I can live to be eighty years old, its all I'll 
ask! and as to being healthy, why, to be sure 
grandfather had the rheumatism sometimes, but 
that’s nothing more than might bo expected in an 
old man—he could do more work in one day than I 
can in two. IIow Mr. It. can stand it to cradle and 
mow on such living as he has, I’m sure I can’t tell. 
I must have solid food, such as pork and beef, or I 
can’t work haid two hours! Then just think, 
when Mr. R. gets sick—he does get sick sometimes 
—he never sends for a Doctor—too stingy to pay a 
Doctor’s bill, I suppose! —he just splashes on a 
little cold water, at least he pretends he don’t do 
anything else; I half doubt his word sometimes, 
for I don’t believe water can cure a man so quick.” 
Now, what kind of an influence is this parent 
exerting in his family? He is judging of things of 
which he does not understand — slandering his 
noble-minded and conscientious neighbor_mis¬ 
representing his theory, and all this in the presence 
of children who are ready to catch his own spirit, 
and be transformed into the likeness of his own 
little soul. No wonder there is such a narrow¬ 
mindedness in community, when parents thus cul¬ 
tivate it in their offspring! No matter if Mr. li.’s

RICH, THOUGH POOR. 
No rood of land in ail the earth, 
No ships upon the sea, 
Nor treasures rare, nor gems, nor gold, 
I)o any keep for me: 
As yesterday I wrought for bread, 
So must I toil to-day; 
Yet somo arc not so rich as I, 
Nor I so poor as they. 
On yonder treo the sunlight falls. 
The robin’s on the bough, 
Still I can hear a merrier note 
Than he is warbling now; 
He’s but an Arab of the sky, 
And never lingers long; 
But that o’erruns the livelong year 
With music and with song. 
Come, gather round me, little onea, 
And as 1 sit me down 
With shouts of laughter, on me place 
A mimic regal crown: 
Say, childless King, would I accept 
Your armies and domain, 
Or e’n your crown, and never feol 
Theso tiny hands again? 
There's more «f honor in their tonch, 
And blessing unto mo 
Than kingdom unto kingdom joined, 
Or navies on the sea: 
So greater gifts to mo are brought 
Ilian Sheba’s Queen did bring 
To him who, at Jerusalem, 
Was born to bo a king. 
Look at my crown, and then nt yours: 
Look in my heart, and thine: 
IIow do our jewels now compare— 
The earthly and divine? 
Hold up your diamonds to the light, 
Emerald and amethyst; 
They’re nothing to those lovc-lit eyes, 
These lips so often kissed! 
Oh ! noblest Roman of them ail, 
That mother good and wise, 
Who pointed to her little ones, 
The Jewels of her eyes. 
Four sparkle in my own to-day, 
Two deck a sinless brow ; 
IIow grow my riches at the thought 
Of those in glory now ! 
And yet no rood of all the earth, 
No ships upon the sea, 
Nor treasures rare, nor gold, nor gems, 
Are safely kept for me: 
Yet I am rich—myself a King I 
And herds my domain ; 
Which only God shall take away 
To give me back again !
