’Tie the ellent hour of midnight, 
I am In a stranger’e land; 
f Bat my thoughtft are ever taming 
To a little household band: 
Are they sleeping, sweetly sleeping, 
in “my own, my native land t" 
Are they dreaming, fondly dreaming, 
At this silent “noon of night t” 
Does a thought of me steal o'er them 
’Mid their visions fair and bright ? 
I would have them, In their sleeping, 
Dream ef mo this very night. 
If the Bplrit e’er may waDder 
From its earthly house of clay, 
Go, my spirit, seek the pillow, 
Of my darling—f ar away; 
I would watch his Infant slumbers, 
Watch o’er him “ till dawn of day.” 
I would whisper to him softly 
Of m y love, still pure and deep; 
I would bend above his pillow 
And till morn the vigil keep; 
Then, when ho awakes, he'll wonder 
If he’s snrely been asleep.

Dry feet are warm feet, generally, if the system 
is healthy. To keep the system healthy the cir¬ 
culation must be good. The circulation is not 
good without ettfClne, and exercise can only 
be really valuable when walking. Riding in a 
carriage Is no exercise at all; it I* merely inhal¬ 
ing the air. This is very well as far as It goes, 
but the lungs are not in full play without the 
individual is walking. Horseback exercise io 
verv good, and is an improvement on carriage 
riding, but it is not the kind of health-creating 
play of the muscles Nature demands. It is ac¬ 
tion-action of the entire body—and walking 
only will procure It. 
Now, the ladies of Europe, particularly those 
of England, understand this thing. They walk 
miles per day, and If any of our pale beauties 
desire to know how the English ladies keep 
up their fine color, clear complexion and superb 
busts, we tell them St Is by out - door exercise; 
walking In the open air; filling the lungs with 
pure oxygen, by rapid movement on a Bharp 
October day, when the sun shines brightly and 
the clear blue sky is above. This is the secret 
of the rich blood of the English women, and 
their almost universally fine looks and matronly 
beauty at fifty, when at that age American 
women arc pale, sallow and wrinkled. 
To enjoy a walk, thick soles are needed. 
Stout, well-fitting calf skin high gaiters, neatly 
laced, wUl always “set off” a pretty foot, and

TRIP LIGH TLY. 
Trip lightly over trouble, 
Trip lightly over wrong, 
We only make grief double 
By dwelling on it long. 
Why clasp woe’s hand so tightly ! 
Why sigh o’er blossoms dead ? 
Why cling to forms unsightly ? 
Why not seek joy Instead t 
Trip lightly over sorrow. 
Though all the day be dark, 
lie sun may shine to-morrow, 
And gaily sing the lark; 
Fair hopes have not departed. 
Though roses may have fled; 
Then never be down-hearted, 
But look for joy Instead. 
Trip lightly over eadnees, 
Btand not to rail at doom; 
We’ve pearls to string of gladness, 
On this side of the tomb; 
Whilst stars are nightly shining, 
And the Heaven is overhead, 
Encourage not repining. 
But look for joy Instead.

WRITING POETRY. 
which is the true expression of the natural, 
reaches all hearts, as we have seen. Rules and 
disquisitions about poetry are therefore of little 
account. Nature is the only true teacher in 
poetry. She always hss been, and her most suc¬ 
cessful examples are found when language and 
society were comparatively In their infancy. 
The fine tinsel required now-a-days, and in other 
periods of the world, is not in keeping with 
true inspiration. T rue poetry is not dependent 
upon finish, melody, apt phrases, smart thought, 
and the originality talked of bo much: these 
but lead astray. It is the utterance of the true 
man in his natnral garb—and that is nakedness 
the thought given in its own form, direct, sim- 
ple,—no asking whys or wherefores: it is there, 
the' effect is unquestioned; it asserts Itself, and 
people acknowledge it. They do this from the 
pleasure they receive, and from a consciousness 
of merit that excludes criticism. 
There can be no mistaking trne poetry: as 
well mistake a flower, a rainbow, the wind; or 
the power of the pulpit and forum. It is in all 
these cases nature asserting herself. If a man 
has not this nature to assert itself, he had better 
not attempt poetry; has province is to read, not 
write, poetry. _ F - °-
