DAY-DREAMS OF HOME. 
Dearest husband, raise the curtate. 
Let the dying sunshine in, 
For a glorious spell is on me, 
And I seem at home again. 
Again I see the tall Fir trees 
j^JJhat stand before our door, 
Falls fjV, n ''£ht shining through them, 
P -->v pottage floor. 
But I pass beneath , , 
Onward to the housoVf^ ac 80 
Past the snow-drops and too. 
Past die place where myrtles 
Once I tended them and loved them— 
.And I love the myrt'e now-— 
For I often used to bind it 
Bound my sister’s baby-brow. 
Hark! is that the childish laughter 
Falling on my list’ning ear V 
Flowers, ye have no claim upon me 
When my loved ones are so near. 
Now I enter; O, ye dear ones, 
I am with you all once more! — 
Father, put your arms about me, 
Let me kiss you o’er and o’er. 
Mother, brother, I am with you— 
Here is little brother, too, 
Where is Lulu ? Little darling, 
Sister has a kiss for you. 
(Mother, see her holding kitty 
In her arms for me to kies,) 
Oh I it almost pays for parting 
Now to feel a joy like this. 
But, alas! the gathering darkness 
Brings me to myself once more; 
All are gone-the vision vanished; 
It was bright—hut it is o’er.

THE INSPIRATION OF NECESSITY. 
}1Y LYDIA A. TOMPKINS. 
Chapter I. 
“And so you’re come at last. Some people have 
a talent at staying away when they’re wanted,” 
said my peevish and bed-ridden husband as I en¬ 
tered hurriedly from my long walk to town. 
“ Did you bring the wine and medicine, or am I 
to be put off again ?” 
“Never fear that,” I hastily replied, “money is 
too scarce, and fretting too expensive, for you to 
he forgotten, or neglected.” Turning away with 
shame and vexation that I had been betrayed, by 
weariness and momentary irritation, into an un¬ 
kind reply, I quickly prepared the medicine and 
brought the wine, saying cheerfully, 
“And so you needed me in my absence. I was 
obliged to wait an hour to see Mr. Jones before I 
could get the money.” 
“0, money, money!—Fire and torture! Ami 
forever to be haunted with the gaunt spectre of 
famine? 0, Jane, what has become of our charmed 
life! How can we learn to endure patiently such 
an accumulation of evils!” 
“ 0, we can suffer long and be kind to each 
other, and the world will not forget to be kind to 
■us. Contentment is our philosophy, and our only 
chance of happiness. Let us grasp it as it flies.” 
Our story was only the common one of early 
marriages and American fortunes. Born and bred 
in affluence, sailing upon the top-most wave of 
society in our native city, and accustomed to be 
lieve ourselves belonging to an order of beings far 
above those who were without our immediate 
sphere, it is no marvel that we never had even a 
distant conception of life as it is, until alone, help¬ 
less, and friendless, we were shipwrecked upon 
the sea of life. My eye is dim and my brain reels 
as I glance backward upon that one week of 
crowding thoughts and thrilling events. I cannot 
even yet think calmly of the beautiful home which 
was once mine, with all its wealth of air, sunlight 
and flowers. I left it for my husband’s elegant 
town-residence, and believed myself about to 
realize the rapture of novelists and poets, with 
which I was thoroughly familiar in theory. Two 
years of my married life had been passed in a 
whirl of gayety, when suddenly, with the stealthi¬ 
ness of a serpent and the fierceness of a lion, the 
dire calamity came. 
I was wearily leaning hack in my carriage, at three 
o’clock in the morning, on my return from a bril 
liant party, when suddenly the startling cry of fire 
and the wild glare of its light, as it simultaneously 
burst from a long range of front windows, shocked 
me from my stupor, paralyzed with terror as I 
found myself gazing at my own home thus deluged 
in flame. I rushed from the carriage frantically 
ejaculating, “my husband,” and madly dashing 
within the crackling door-way, was, in an instant, 
caught, and wrapped in a thick carpet, but not 
before the fluttering lace of my party array had 
reached the flame, which wreathed its coiling em¬ 
brace about my neck and arms. Stifled and 
senseless, I was borne to a friend’s house, awaking 
to hear the agonized groans of my husband as he 
was undergoing the horrifying process of an am¬ 
putation of one of his limbs. In consequence of 
a slight indisposition he had not accompanied me 
to the party, and under the influence of an opiate, 
had retired, leaving the gas in full blaze and giving 
no orders to the servant, except to await my re¬ 
turn. She was soon comfortably sleeping upon 
the sofa, oblivious to the sound and breath of fire, 
which originated in the vicinity of the kitchen, 
how or where, it was impossible to ascertain. 
The whole inner work was a burning mass,— a 
raging flame, before the marble front was reached, 
or the fire to be discovered from without. The 
watch gave the alarm and but a few moments had 
elapsed ere the aristocratic neighborhood was one 
indescribable scene of confusion. Three servant 
girls appeared at the attic window with frantic 
cries for help, and the noble firemen, heeding 
neither danger nor suffering, planted their ladders 
and bore them safely to the ground. All this bad 
occurred ere my arrival, and but a moment after I 
was taken from the burning door, my husband 
appeared, wrapped in the burning clothes of his 
bed and through some inadvertent step, fell in the 
flaming door-way. Before he could be lifted from 
his dangerous position, the walls above had fallen, 
fatally crushing and mangling one limb and 
l frightfully mutilating the other. The hornfie 
spectators spared no effort to release him and save 
I a life which he, so often afterwards, wished had 
been then ended. Rendered torpid by the smoke, 
! be only awoke at the touch of fire, and springing 
1 from the bed with little consciousness of what he 
doing, rushed with a blanket about him down 
the t». ” s tair-way to the front entrance. His 
1 whole body burned,— even hi3 hair nearly 
j gone, and the agon.,^fllife was, for loDg weeks, 
j far worse than death, liu, escape seemed almost 
miraculous, and now, a year that eventful 
night, he was so weak that he could sc.-r-.^jy m ove, 
and so sore and sensitive that but a touch of cold 
gave him intense pain, while a flush of hot air 
renewed the tortures of that fearful night. The 
lightest breath of smoke was suffocation, and the 
sight of fire, thrilling agony. Pitiable as was his 
condition, calamitous enough for human endurance 
it would seem,— yet his cup was not full. 
Ten days after the destruction of our mansion, 
Mr. Gliddon, President of Monteith Bank, in 
which our funds were mostly invested, called upon 
me with the astounding intelligence that he should 
be obliged to suspend payment; and that, in con¬ 
sequence of other failures, which were daily mul¬ 
tiplying, the whole capital was exhausted and my 
husband’s drafts could no longer be honored. I 
demanded immediate investigation, and employed 
the most skillful attorneys to examine papers, but 
all agreed in taking from us every dollar and, as 
usual, deploring the unfortunate necessity. A 
month before, my father had been ruined in the 
general crash which has so leveled society, and in 
the sudden desperation of bis tireless energy and 
unconquerable pride had hurried to the West with 
the wreck of his fortune, and purchased a farm of 
new land, which his unwearied spirit hoped to 
redeem from utter worthlessness. 
Hard words had passed between my husband 
and father, and he left us in aDger. I could not 
appeal to him and now, in my utter helplessness, 
I felt most unwillingly crippled and inert, even al¬ 
most insane. I appealed to my numerous friends, 
(as I believed them,) and they, although deeply 
grieved, could see no possible chance for recover¬ 
ing any portion of our possessions, or any cheer¬ 
ing prospect for the future. One after another of 
them failing to recognize me as I passed down 
Broadway, opened a new vista to my tear-dimmed 
eyes and sickened my soul with despair. Now 
that the truth was fully evident, I turned to my 
stricken husband, and, in the silence of that long 
night of watching, while hanging upon his inco¬ 
herent words, took a stern resolve, and in the 
strengh and heroism of youth, and the reviving of 
early faith, determined to do battle bravely for 
myself and the helpless one beside me; and kneel¬ 
ing by his couch in a chance moment of his sleep, 
I felt that my vow was registered in heaven 
One might almost hope for affliction, were it 
only to feel, for one moment, the God-given power 
to struggle with difficulties, and see clearly, by the 
light of faith, through the darkness of midnight 
gloom. I had an attached servant, who would not 
leave me when told of our misfortunes, and thro’ 
her good offices I obtained part of a suburban cot¬ 
tage, occupied by her aunt. With the jewels and 
diamonds adornhig my party-costume, I resolved 
to commence the world anew, and as soon as life 
would not be periled thereby, we quietly removed 
to our. humble quarters. I forbear to look back 
upon the scene when I was obliged to darkly hint 
our circumstances and suggest a change of resi¬ 
dence. Alone and desolate, save the absorbed na 
ture of the care thus cast upon me, yet I turned 
not back upon the past, feeling happier and more 
satisfied, notwithstanding my unceasing anxiety 
than at any other period of my life. Language is 
as powerless to utter the wearying torture of a 
useless life, as to portray the satisfaction of an 
active one, spent in the unfaltering discharge of 
pressing 'present duties. Heedrng no bodily weari¬ 
ness as I felt my better nature expand, bewailing 
no misfortune, I experienced the welcome throes 
of this unlooked-for soul-birth. The marvelous 
power within, supplied at our need, availed me 
now; and I, the crawling earth-worm, scarcely 
awaited the chrysalis ere I could flutter my wings 
and fly wherever Our Father should bid.

my dread pursuer. 
“Are you Mrs. Rariton!” be almost shrieked. 
Trembling with fright, I|;ave a faint affirmation, 
when he said fiercely, and with an oath, 
And that puppy 
“Ah, you are poor, areyou? 
husband,— he’ll find out that it iB to grind and 
Poor!” screeched ie maniac, “ha! ha! 
dig. 
We all find out what’s god for us before we die. 
Do you know me, woman ;who am 1 ?” 
“I do not know you. jet me go,” replied I, 
with sudden courage, lookng him commandingly 
in the eye. With the imbecile leer of insanity, 
be visibly flinched and drpped my arm, only to 
seize it again when I tured my eye from him. 
His wild shout as he caugli me again, brought a 
policeman, and I was reliebd. 
Redoubling my speed, I .rrived safely at home, 
falling within the doorwayin a fainting fit, from 
which I did not recover 1 an hour, and which 
threw our patient sufferennto a new paroxysm 
of intense pain. 
“Dear, where is the colial, or the wine?” he 
asked, as he recovered, j, grief untold —there 
was none. 
“ Never mind—I supposyou forgot it, to-day,” 
was the apologetic remai as he noted my dis¬ 
tressed silence. 0, the agny of poverty, when it 
denies what have become ecessaries of life to the 
beloved sick and suffering} 
My head laid aching!jand wearily upon its 
pillow that night, and eve faith seemed lost and 
stifled. With the mornin came new hopes, and 
my sewiDg progressed ith new vigor. Mr. 
Rariton had grown graqally weaker and less 
earthly,—worn to a shado,—yet the glowing and 
peaceful light beaming fr«i his spiritualized face 
gave him the look and maner of one about to be 
released from the fetters oclay which had so long 
bound him. His thought; were more of heaven 
than earth, and, clothed irthe sublime language 
of Scripture, they came asv voice from the spirit- 
land, breathing words of lisdom and prophetic 
inspiration. I felt a soemn resignation and 
almost joy pervade my sol, as I sat beside him 
with my sewiDg, and all t/jough the summer day 
drank hope and comfort tom his inspired lips. 
After lying a loDg time silent, he said, 
“There is no possibility^ my recovery, Jane, 
and if I have one murmurijg word against Provi¬ 
dence, it is that I must ]<yve you without even 
the poor consolation of Rowing that you are 
temporally beyond the reatfi of want. I have an 
atonement to make to you - father for the harsh 
words spoken at our last interview. Hoiv it goads 
me to see you thus unceasingly toiling! It is a 
sad heritage that has fallento you, my dear,—toil 
and poverty,—but God will reward such patience 
and labor.” 
How like balm came the words of praise from 
lips so loved. 1 scarcely heeded the new rebuff 
which awaited mb at night,—the refusal to furnish 
any more work 01 account of the stains upon this 
last piece. Deal reader, they were tears of joy at 
my husband’s empathizing words. I still felt 
the genial elevjtion and peaceful trust caught 
from his heave/p*^^ spirit, and unaccustomed 
to calculate conseq^l|es7Sid not heed this r.ew 
difficulty. The haglard face and gleaming eyes 
of the wild maniac [ho had followed me, glared 
through a shop winlow, and I should have been 
my heart leaped,— how the fountains unclosed 
and the summer dews cooled the fever-heat of my 
throbbing pulses,—a friend, true and tried, tender 
and faithful. My teacher, my governess, whom I 
had not seen for a loDg, long time, smiled in my 
face with unaffected joy. I had lost sight of her 
for many years, she having married and removed 
to the West, was now cn route for Washington, 
whither her husband went as a National Repre¬ 
sentative. Times were changed with us, but true 
hearts do not forget, and her pure nature poured 
the healing oil into mine with no unsparing hand. 
She became to me in that half-hour a beacon- 
light,—a guiding star,—a rock of refuge and a 
haven of safety. Thank God for those dear hu¬ 
man friends which He is sure to send in our direst 
need! [Concluded next week.]

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
Milch Cows and Dairy Farming.— Charles L. Flint, of 
Boston, Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Agricul¬ 
ture, is the author of a new work upon a subject never be¬ 
fore fully treated in this country, which, if we misiake not, 
will prove the most valuable book for universal use among 
farmers that has ever been published in this country, there 
is scarcely anything worth knowing, about how to select a 
cow, how to treat her, and how to make butter and cheese, 
that cannot he found in this volume, which contains numer¬ 
ous illustrations, besides its concise language, carefully 
written from all the best authorities, and much personal 
observation. It is a work that was much needed, and one 
that in recommending we shall do good to the farming in¬ 
terest It is published on good paper, clear type, with 
many well-cut wood eneravines, and contains oyer loo pa¬ 
ges, and, we suppose, will sell for $1,25.— N. 1. Tribune. 
This work is marked by the clearness and perspicuity 
which have characterized Mr. Flint's previous productions. 
It contains an account of the most enlightened practice in 
this country; the details of the dairy husbandry of Holland, 
and the most recent and productive modes of management 
in English dairy farming, embracing a large amount of 
practical and scientific information not hitherto presented 
to the American public in an available form.— Salem Gas. 
We recommend the work to every one who keeps a cow, 
• intends to do so .—Ohio Farmer. 
We recommend it as a matter of economy, because, if 
studied, it cannot fail to impart facts of more value to most 
dairy-men and dairy-women than several times its cost. 
Few England Farmer. 
It should be in the hands of every owner of a cow.— Ver¬ 
mont Stock. Journal. , 
It can but. rank as a standard American Dairy Book,—the 
best, we have no hesitation in saying, yet issued upon the 
subject .—Country Gentleman. 
The more we examine the hook the better we like it. To 
say that it is superior to any work hitherto published on 
that subject, is not enough; it is a better book of its kind 
than we had hoped to have an opportunity of welcoming to 
the shelves of our agricultural library.—11 isconsin Farmer.

Chapter II. 
“ Mrs. Rariton*, shall I make you out a receipt 
for this month’s rent,” said the gruff agent, one 
morning, putting his head unceremoniously within 
the door. 
“If you please,” said I, advancing with the 
money in my hand—a hand that shook just a little 
as it parted with its last penny. But I consoled 
myself with the fact that I had a piece of sewing 
nearly finished, and that Mr. Rariton was igno¬ 
rant of the state of our exchequer, supposing that 
the income of the little remnant of our fortune 
was sufficient to support us, which idea I had not 
attempted to dissipate, however unorthodox such 
truthfulness may be considered. Our little all 
was now gone. I had endeavored to eke it out as 
long as possible by trying to sew, that being the 
first resort for a woman in need, and finding my 
health sinking in the attempt, I grew positively 
frightened at the suffering and privation which 
stared us in the face. I walked to town that eve- 
and presenting my work, was told that it 
was not sufficiently good to command the usual 
price, and that they would pay me when I had 
finished another garment, if the work was satis¬ 
factory. With a heavy heart and tottering frame, 
I turned to find my way home, and absorbed in 
my sorrows, did not observe a stranger intently 
gazing and then following as I left the store; but 
after walking some distance became conscious of 
a footfall behind me, even out upon the obscure 
street through which I was hastening. Visions 
of garroting, murder and abuse loomed up as I 
sped on, the measured footstep continually gaining 
upon me. I had an alley to pass through, and 
just as I turned to enter, wa3 grasped by the 
rooms and sew—one recom¬ 
mended me to suctf and such numbers, where 
they gave out work) and all these had as many 
seamstresses as they wished. One dismissed me 
with the remark, “ Y^iu have too much of a fine 
lady air about you, to do your work right” 
another said, “ Go to iome family”—another, who 
knew me, and pitying my distressed look at his 
refusal, said kindly, “ Why lftt try embroidery— 
we will pay you well;” and handing me several 
bands, mentioned the price, which was so meagre 
for the labor that I found my spirits ebbing low 
and my heart very sore. 
Let those who scoff at discouragement and 
mock at the calamities which so often beset the 
struggling child of adversity, leave for one day 
their comfortable homes, and, clad in the garb of 
labor, go forth into the broad streets, the byways 
and lanes, sueiDg for employment. “Ah,” says 
one, “this happy land of free institutions leaves 
none to want who are willing to work.” Try it 
ye croakers, — forget your pompous prosperity 
and limit yourself by that surrounding of circum 
stances which must envelop every person. Try 
it just after a panic,—take the position allotted 
me,—my husband ill, whom I could not leave, 
myself unused to labor,— fresh from the lap of 
luxury,—hurled from the tide-wave into an inex 
tricable whirlpool of difficulties,—how slight the 
chance for a successful issue of the struggle with 
staring want,—weakness unutterable the foe to 
be overcome. Not one lesson of my whole life 
had been given with a view to independent effort 
and how could I survive. I might teach music, 
painting, or a school, perhaps; but my sick charge 
could not be left. I had no capital to purchase 
piano or painting materials, and thus pursue these 
avocations at home,—my path was narrow, yet 
not straight, although faith whispered that 
would ultimately reach Heaven. 
I turned slowly homeward, having exhausted 
every resource for employment, as I believed, and 
with a sort of numbness in my limbs, I paused 
before the pictured-lined window of an extensive 
bookstore, more through weariness than from any 
interest in the life-pencilings there traced. Look 
ing mutely and passively at the miniature repre 
sentations in still steel, of the great artists and 
grand masters, I wondered, in my heart, if any 
evil of their lives had gnawed into their souls 
poverty was now griping mine. I turned sadly 
and slowly away, meeting the wistful, gladdened 
e j es of—a friend. My God, had I a friend? How
