ABOUT AFRICA. 
HONESTY IN MERCANTILE LIFE. 
For the Rural New-Yorker. 
A REVERIE. 
Oft my mind wanders back 
Thro’ the shades of the Past, 
To I he spot where the scenes 
Of my childhood were cast,— 
To the streamlet that ran 
Thro’ die (lowery dell, 
And the forest whose shades 
Darkly over it fell; 
To the old trysting ehn 
And the moss covered stone 
Which under its branches 
T/iy sombre and lone— 
To every loved scene 
Which my early days knew. 
Then rise up the visions 
My young fancy drew. 
Full many a leader 
Has guided my way, 
Through the mazes of life 
Where my devious path lay; • 
Dove. Glory, and Power, 
Each led me a day; 
Fame, Knowledge, and Gold 
Game, hut soon passed away. 
Bright Hope was my first guide. 
And sh ill be my last, 
All others have from me 
Successively passed; „ 
Then, guide of my childhood, 
Thy bright beacon star 
Through the Future’s dim mazes 
1 follow afar.

A TURKISH BATH. 
In Bayard Taylor’s last letter, of the 
series “ From New York to Nineveh,” in tho 
N. Y. Tribune, lie gives an account of a 
Turkish hath enjoyed by himself and com¬ 
panions in Alexandria. We copy the close 
of his description; also some characteristic 
remarks by tho Home Journal, upon tho 
feelings which follow this indulgence. He 
says: 
“After a plunge in a seething tank, we 
were led back to our chamber, ami envel¬ 
oped in loose muslin robes. Turbans were 
bound on our heads, and wo lay on the di¬ 
vans to recover from the langourof the bath 
The change produced by our new costume 
was astonishing. The Stout German became

picturesque Persian, and I—1 scarcely know

lowed, and then throe chibouks, fragrant 
with the tobacco of Latakiok. For half an 
hour wo quietly enjoyed the aroma, experi¬ 
encing what the Turks call kieff -—a feeling 
of blissful indifference to all worldly things, 
for which there is no word in the English

THE WIFE. 
Behold, how fair of eye anil mild of tnein, 
Walks forth to marriage yonder gentle queen; 
What chaate sobriety whene’er she speaks, 
What glad content sits smiling on her checks. 
What plans of goodness in that liosom glow, 
What prudent care is throned upon her brow, 
What tender truth in all she does or says, 
What pleasantness and peace in all her ways! 
Forever blooming on that cheerful face, 
Home’s best affections grow diviner grace; 
Her eyes are rayed with love, serene and bright; 
Charity wreathes her lips with smiles of light; 
Her kindly voice hath music in its notes; 
And heaven’s own atmosphere around her floats! 
ECONOMY OF TIME. 
M v Dear Susan :—I have something far¬ 
ther to say on the improvement of time.— 
Much has been written by abler pens, hut 
most of it does not come down to our wants. 
It seems to me, that much more complaint 
is made of want of time, than is necessary.

growing up around her, said to me, that she
