INDIAN CORN. 
Setili.k’b soft, luxuriouB clime 
Yield* the orange and the lime, 
And the cool refreshing shade 
By the clustering branches made, 
Beams te hold the perfumed air 
As a willing captive there. 
Ceylon, isle of spice and balm, 
Boasts her groves of stately palm; 
Where the lingering sunbeams rest. 
As they loved that land the best; 
Where the birds, amid the bowers, 
Are like gorgeous, w inged flowers. 
In thy vales, fair, sunny Franco, 
Peasants love thy vintage dance; 
Where the vines their clusters yield, 
Songs are heard from every field; 
All the land in festal dress, 
Overflows with happiness. 
But of all the precious stores 
Nature’s bounteous hand outpours 
O’er each hill, and vale, and plain, 
Flower, fruit, or waving grain, 
Dearest to the Northern born 
Stands the graceful Indian Corn. 
When it springs, the verdant leaf 
Bursts the seed’s enclosing sheath, 
Or, in summer’s glowing light, 
The feathery tassel greets the sight, 
Grace and beauty still adorn 
Every change of Indian Corn. 
When the autumn’s gorgeous dyes 
Deflect the hues of sunset skies, 
O'er the glowing harvest plain 
There the ears of clustered grain, 
In tlio yellow sheath enrolled, 
Seem like topaz ret in gold.

LETTERS FROM OUR FARM. 
Dear Reader:— Perhaps you don’t know just 
where “ Our Farm” is, but never mind. It is some¬ 
where between the Atlantic Coast, and the Rocky 
Mountains —somewhere among hills, and plains, 
and vallies, under blue skies and cloud shadows— 
somewhere with plenty of singing birds and fresh 
breezes, wild flowers and merry waters. “Our 
Farm” is a rare place to be happy in, a place for 
toilers, for thinkers, for dreamers; it has the rich 
abundance of most lavish harvests for the first, and 
a thousand earnest lessons of wisdom, and won¬ 
drous tissues of romance for the others. 
To which of these classes I belong, the reader 
must judge—in truth I am sorely puzzled’some- 
times to decide. Stern necessity would make me 
a toiler; something higher would weave thought 
with labor, and a thousand wooing voices call me 
eternally to dreamy imaginings. So you need not 
wonder if you find the very threads of romance 
running here and there through the sober gray of 
truth. 
Truth is not the right word to use there, for noth¬ 
ing is more false than that romance—as the world 
commonly understands it—is opposed to truth. 
These dreams and fancies have a mission of their 
own. It is their province to beautify daily toil, that 
the soul may better bear the servitude in which it 
ministers to the wants of the body. 
It is surely well if the reaper, binding up the 
sheaves with a weary hand, may glean now and 
then amid his labor a golden grain of beauty; and 
if I, gathering bitter herbs by the wayside, shall 
find among them bright-lipped flowers to hide in 
my bosom, or throw to a fellow-laborer, that is 
well, too. I am no philosopher, but only one, who, 
passing through life with a contented heart, has 
found, thus far, good and beauty iu everything.— 
Lifting my eyes from the paper I see before me a 
picture wondrously fair. Look with me from the 
windsw and sec if this world of ours be not still, as 
in the days before the flood, “ very goody 
You will have to put aside the broad leaves of 
the morning glories a little, they have woven so 
close a Borccn over the window — gently, so as not 
to shake the dew out of the delicate cups with their 
freshly tinted lips of blue, and crimson, and pale 
rose-color. Right below you lies the garden, with 
its great beds of beets and onions, and all other 
substantial looking vegetables, “garden sauce” our 
grandmothers called them; beans running up to 
the very top of the leaning poles, and then throw¬ 
ing vagrant tendrils out into the air to catch, maybe 
on some neighbor, or dangle in the wind. Ilelow 
the rows of sweet corn is the little patch of melons, 
watched ro anxiously by the children every year, 
and whose treasures were notunfreqncntly put silly 
to the test by the knife of some youngster, long be- 
foro older heads had decided that melons were 
ripe. Then there are the rows of currant busheB 
along by the wall, the little bunch of artichokes in 
the corner. The hop vines covered with graceful 
wreathes that no art can match, the sage, and 
“ summer savory ” and chamomile, and a few 
stalks of rue, the hollyhocks and yellow sunflowers, 
nodding over the top of the wall—all these and a 
plenty of other things that are to be found in every 
old-fashioned garden. From the foot of the gar¬ 
den a green meadow goes stretching away, in 
long rolling swells, to the very edge of a beautiful 
sheet of wntor. You will call it a lake, but it i3 only 
the river, spread out by the dam below, over which, 
if you listen, you can hear the water falling. Like 
a crescent of silver it lies there. The inner curve 
clearly marked by the emerald hue of the meadow, 
and the outer by the darker tint of the forests, 
which crowd to the brink as if the old oaks wanted 
to catch a glimpse of themselves in the water.— 
Some newer comers have stepped in before them, 
for a line of graceful willows Btand swaying over 
the water, the delicate green of their leaves, show¬ 
ing finely against the darker hack ground of the 
oaks. Covered withverduro to tho very summit, 
the hills rise up till they stand in bold relief against 
the Bky, and below them lies the water, a gem in a 
beautiful setting. See the little islands with their 
fringes of willow and alder, and all about tho 
edges little fleets of water lilies are moored, like 
fairy boats, rising and falling with tho light motion 
of the wafer. You need not look up to see if the j 
sky be clear, it is mirrored in the bosom of the ' 
water, blue as it is overhead, with every great 
snowy pile that goes drifting across it, like a ship 
with full canvas on. 
On my table lies a relic of city life in the shape 
of an opera glasp. Tnose smooth, cannon-like 
tubes have been the death of many a charm. In 
years gone by I have seen many a brilliant face 
whose beauty shown so brightly in the concert 
room as to tempt a nearer inspection through the 
truth-telling medium. “Paint!” said my opera 
glass, as I consulted it “ Lily white, and rouge— 
eyebrowB pencilled, and cm Is from the hair-dres¬ 
ser.” It is a great tell tale, that glass of mine, 
but we will put it to a less invidious task this morn¬ 
ing,—for herein consists the greatest difference be¬ 
tween nature and art, that the close examination, 
which brings out defects and coarseness in the 
latter, only heightens the beauty, and reveals deli¬ 
cate touches never before suspected in the former. 
Rake the glass to your eye and Hweep the river 
with it. Away in the distance, those brown specks 
that yon saw have suddenly grown into wild ducks 
coming down the river to the islands. You can 
see every motion as they float slowly along, smooth¬ 
ing their glossy feathers in the bud, or driving 
down suddenly, come up again shaking the water 
from their wings. There! some noise on the 
shore has startled them, and they rise heavily into 
the air, and in a few seconds are out of sight in the 
swamps up the stream. Look at those lilies, with 
your unaided eye they only show a bank of green 
on the water; but the glass shows the broad circle 
of leaves, and the liliep, like cups of the purest 
alabaster, neBtled among them. They Beem so near 
you almost fancy you can scent their sweet breath, 
and can’t help reaching out your hand for them, 
and then—the picture floats away to its real dis 
tance, bearing islands, lilies and all with it. The 
glass is a cheat after all—and yet some of us poor 
mortals get our brightest views of happiness 
through such mediums. Reason of its folly, and 
resolve against it as wo will, yet it is sweet to steal 
an hour sometimfB from tho realities of the pres¬ 
ent,—that bring so much of toil and shadow to the 
best and happiest of us,—and cheat the heart into 
perfect content by a closer view of those sunny 
scenes, with which hope, the soul’s painter, iillBthe 
future to which we all look longingly. Whatever 
the heart most craves, whether of this world or the 
world to come, fancy brings it to our very grasp— 
we gaze, and for the moment are satisfied. Truo, 
when the hands are reached moat eagerly towards 
it, tho glass falls away, the picturo recedes, and the 
fountains of content, like a mirage in the desert, 
fade away in the far distance; yet a memory some¬ 
times remains in the heart to make a rainbow on 
many a cloud. 
— But while we have been talking, this August 
sunshine has waxed hotter and hotter, and drank 
up tho last bead of dew. The morning glories 
have closed their eyes, and the cows have left 
grazing in the meadow, and stand in the water, 
under the shadow of tho woods, quietly chewing 
the cud, and — thinking for all you and I know to 
tho contrary. n-. 
THE WIFE’S MISTAKE. 
The carriage stopped at the door, and, in a few 
minutes, Margaret llalo entered the apartment 
where her husband sat, wholly absorbed in poring 
over day-bookB and ledgers. 
“Those tiresome accounts still,” she exclaimed. 
“Will you never find time for anything but busi¬ 
ness, Ralph? Have you no taste for anything be¬ 
yond figures?” 
“Margaret;” but the sndneps in the tone was un¬ 
heeded, as she continued: 
“We had such a charming evening at Mrs. C.’s. 
Captain Hill related many interesting incidents of 
his residence in Egypt, and Mr. WarreD, the fa¬ 
mous young poet, read ‘ Maud,’ and some of the 
most beautiful passages in ‘AuroraLeigh.’ I must 
read to you some of Romney’s‘Great Thoughts 
on Duty.’ ” 
She went hastily to her chamber lor the vol¬ 
ume. When she returned, her quiet entrance was 
nnheared by her husband, whose pen was rapidly 
moving over the almost interminable columns of 
figures. With an expression of impatience, almost 
of scorn, resting on her face, she hastily turned 
away. 
“And this is the end of all my dreams of mar¬ 
riage,” said she, as she reached her room. “ He 
has a taste for drudgery. His pursuits and tastes 
are all commonplace, and I must go from home 
to find the sympathy I need, to find those who will 
appreciate, with me, the books I love, and the 
beautiful in art, for which he has neither eye nor 
ear. Why did ho not marry a woman who had 
neither heart nor mind to bo continually unsat¬ 
isfied?” 
In the room she had left, Ralph Hale sat, hour 
after hour, till his brain was weary and eyelids 
drooped. Then, laying aside his books, he remain¬ 
ed a long time in deep thought. 
“God bless my Margaret,” he prayed, “ and give 
me strength to bear all things. Give mo power to 
make her happy.” 
Patting away all thoughts of her husband’s real 
nobleness of character, jealously preserving the 
memory of every slight difference in their tastes 
and pursuits, Margaret cherished the spirit of dis¬ 
content, till it embittered every hour of her life, 
and sent suffering, she had never dreamed of, to 
the heart of her husband, who would gladly have 
sacrificed every earthly good for her happiness. 
A sudden and severo illness came to her while 
Ralph was in a distant city. One day during her 
slow recovery, the aged minister, who had baptized 
her in infancy, was sitting by her side. 
“Margaret,” he said, after steadfastly watching 
her troubled face, “ you are unhappy. I have seen 
it a long time. I should not recognize in you my 
once cheerful, happy child. May I not know what 
great sorrow has come to you?” 
Then, with sobs and tears, she told him all her 
unhappiness. 
After a short silence, the old man spoke again, 
and there was sadness, almost sternness, in his 
voice. “ Years ago, Margaret, a wealthy New York 
merchant became involved in a speculation, whose 
failure suddenly took from him the accumulated 
wealth of his years of commercial enterprise. 
There were a few yearn of weary, vain struggling 
to regain what he had lost; then deep despondency, 
a lingering disease and death. His wife and four 
children were left penniless. The eldest child, a 
boy of sixteen, had finished his preparatory studies, 
and was about to enter college. By this stroke, he 
found his prospects for the future clouded; but, 
with a noble self-forgetfulness, he turned cheerfal- 
ly into the way marked out for him, and walked 
resolutely in it 
“ He obtained a situation with a merchant, who 
had known his father, where his faithfulness and 
untiring devotion to his duties, won the confidence 
of all who knew him. Daring the first years of 
her widowhood, his mother had taught a private 
Bchool for the young; and it was the boy’s highest 
ambition to relieve her of this necessity, and give 
her the rest her feeble health required. I cannot 
tell you all his privations, his willing sacrifice 
of every recreation, his continued self-denial that 
he might lighten the burdens of those so dear to 
him. 
“Year after year, success crowned his efforts. 
In the village where his mother had passed the 
years of her childhood and the first years of her 
married life, he purchased a pleasant residence for 
her, and theD, a lucrative business being opened 
to him in the West, he came here. 
“ At the time of his removal here, accident re¬ 
vealed to him the fact that the widow and invalid 
daughter of one whose fortune was, by his father’s 
advice, risked in that unfortunate speculation 
which had so changed his own life, were living in 
extreme poverty. To him they are indebted for 
the pleasant home that now shelters them, and for 
the delicate, thoughtful ministration to their daily 
comfort. 
“ Now, when the commercial world is clouded, 
and disasters crowd thick and fast upon him, as 
upon others, his anxious thoughts turn to the 
mother, and suffering sister, in the little village 
home, whose comforts depend upon him, to the 
other lonely fireside, to which his constant tho’t- 
fulness imparts its only light, and to his own home, 
and the young wife whose happiness is dearer to 
him than life. For this, Margaret, Ralph Hale 
gives his days to incessant toil, and willingly sac¬ 
rifices the social pleasures he is so eminently fitted 
to enjoy. 
“ I have been in these three homes. With a love 
that is almost reverence, his mother and sister 
speak his name, and, with full hearts, thank God 
for his life—that life so filled wilh the beauty of 
self-renunciation. The widow and daughter whose 
hearts he has made glad, tell of his numberless 
acts of kindness, of his delicate, and unceasing 
watchfulness, and daily they ask God’s blessing on 
him whose life is a blessing to others. 
“In his own home, the wife whose love should 
bless him, whose gentle ministry should comfort 
and strengthen him, turns coldly from him, be¬ 
cause he prefers the happiness of others to his 
own gratification, because the pressing duties of 
life claim all his waking hours, leaving him little 
leisure for the claims of society, or for the high 
intellectual culture which few attain whoso lives 
are not wholly devoted to it.” 
“Oh, Ralph, I liavo never known yon! I have 
so cruelly inisjudKod you,” said tlio weeping wife. 
The old man continued:—“ Some men talk poe¬ 
try, some write it in words, and some write it in 
their lives. The true heroism which poets have 
sung, Ihe beauty of self-abnegation and of cease¬ 
less devotion to duty, which have been their in¬ 
spiration, Ralph Hale has lived. The woman who 
has won the deepest love of such a heart should 
reverently and gratefully cherish it as the richest 
blessing of her life.” 
In the twilight of that day, Margaret was await¬ 
ing her husband’s return. Amid the bitter self- 
reproachings that darkened the honr, gleamed a 
new and holy light. Higher purposes were arous¬ 
ed within her. In the future, she would make di¬ 
vinely real in her life the beautiful ideals which 
had tilled her heart with unsatisfied longings. She, 
too, would live for others, and first of all for him 
whom she had so misunderstood. 
A hurried step in the entrance hall, then on the 
stairB, and the next moment she was clasped iu her 
husband’s arms. 
“ You have been very ill,” said a voice, faltering 
with emotion, “but, thank God, you are safe now, 
my Margaret.” 
“Oh, yes, I am safe indeed now,” said Margaret’s 
heart. 
In that hour, all was made clear between them. 
With new resolves for the future, with a deeper 
love for each other, and a prayer for strength, an¬ 
other page of life was turned for them. 
Years afterwards, Margaret, a proud and happy 
wife, wrote, “I cannot tell you all he has been to 
me—my guide when I was ignorant, my strength 
when I faltered, my best earthly friend, always. 
What do I not owe yon for revealing the mistake 
which had almost wrecked the happiness of both. 
—National Era. 
CONSTANTINOPLE. 
Bayard Taydor writing from Constantinople, 
says:—“I noticed but three changes in Constanti¬ 
nople since I Baw it in 1852—to wit:—Pcra is light¬ 
ed with gas, the hotels have raised their prices five 
francs a day, and the dogs of Stamboul no longer 
bark at Giaours. In all other respects it is the 
same medley of unparalleled external and internal 
filth, imperfect Europe and shabby Asia. The last 
change of the three is undoubtedly due to the 
wholesome training given to the dogs aforesaid by 
the soldiers of the allied armies. It is an aston¬ 
ishing fact that dogs of the most orthodox Moslem 
breed now tolerate tho presence of tho Frank with¬ 
out a Bnarl. Moreover, St. Sophia, then accessible 
only through the all-potent seal of the Grand 
Vizier, now its doors turn on their holy hinges for 
an every-day bribe. Even at the Mosque of Eyoub, 
standard-bearer of Mahommed II., I was refused 
admission only because it waB Ramazan. There is 
a Turkish theatre in Pera, Turkish plays (adopted 
from the Italian) are acted by Turkish actors, and— 
oh shade of the Prophet!—Turkish women appear 
unveiled upon the stage. This, however, does not 
signify much. Polygamy and the seclusion of 
women are a part of the Moslem religion, and 
with that religion dies the prestige of the race. 
Tho fraternization of Turkey with the Western 
Powers has forced her to relinquish a few anti¬ 
quated prejudices—and that is nil” 
The shortness of life is very often owing to tie 
Regularities cf the liver. 
Everything must have altered very much in a 
short time. Only a few years since Gen. JacksoD, 
being seated between two ladieB, said he felt like 
a thorn surrounded with roses. Y. 8. M. says, a 
few days ago, while riding in one of the Sixth 
street cars, and being seated between two ladies, he 
felt like a stave in a hogshead of molasses, sur¬ 
rounded by hoops. 
A gentleman was threatening to beat a dog who 
barked intolerably. “ Why,” exclaimed an Irishman, 
“would you beat the poor dumb animal for spokin' 
out ?" 
TnE parson who prefaced bis sermon with, “ Let 
us say a few words before we begin,” is about 
equal to the chap who took a short nap before he 
went to sleep. 
“ Welt., Mr. Tree, if you’re about to leave I shall 
detain your trunk," exclaimed an incensed landlady 
to her lodger, who was slightly in arrears. 
Should you be talking to a thin lady, of another 
thin lady, you need not describe the party alluded 
to as a “scraggy old maid.” 
The phrase, “fighting on his own hook,” is 
now more elegantly rendered—“ waging war upon 
the individuality of his personal curve.”
