WILCOX. yâ€"l y1 Two children went forth in the springtime of youth, And merrily sung as the bright sun arose, Their hearts brimming over with innocent truth, But knew not the wiles of its dangerous foes. They sung with the birds in the leafâ€"clad bowers, They danced with the brooklets among the hills, They brushed the bright dew from the mosses and flowers, But saw not the omen of coming ills. Two lovers went forth in the summer of life, The sun shining brightly above their heads ; She had promised to be his devoted wife, And trusting and kind were the words he said. He spoke of their childhoodâ€"its innocent loveâ€" That through all these years his heart had not strayed, Then called on the earth and the heavens above, To record the vows he had solemanly made. But a skeleton, ghostly, and grim, and lean, Walked ever beside the devoted pair; While fierce from their sockets his eyeballs of green Gleamed out with a serpent‘s malignant glare. Two sinners went forth in the autumn of life, The one to the right and the other the left ; The skeleten sat on the hearthstone of strife, And laughed as he thought of the hearts he had Two wanderers came in the winter of ago, And the frost on their hair told of sorrow and She her promise renowed, he repeated his pledge, And the skeletonâ€"Jealousyâ€"came not again. Two graves were dug in the old churchyard, Two coffins were brought as the sun went down ; Two weary hearts, oft bleeding and scarred, Now rest in peace ‘neath that sacred mound, No skeleton comes to that churchyard, I ween, To trouble the dreams of that slumbering pair ; But still from their sockets, his eyeballs of green Gleam out with a serpent‘s malignant glare. Should a skeleton come to your hearthstone toâ€"day Afford him no shelter, no welcoming smile; One prayer for the erring will drive him away, One word fitly spoken will banish his spell The unwritten romance of real life far exceeds in beauty and instruction anything that simple fancy ever imagined; and I have had only to keep my eyes and ears open, as I went up and down in the world. to fill the storehonse of memory with many a strange drama. The following trie inâ€" cident was brought to my remembrance this morning, while listening to the rebelâ€" lious words of a young man who could not see his father‘s wisdom in desiring him to learn a trade. "It will make a common man of me, faâ€" ther," he said, querulously, ; I shall be as dirty as a blacksmith, and have hands like a coalâ€"heaver." "And it you think, Fred, that wearing fine clothes and having white hands makes you a gentleman, let me tell you, sir, you are now a very common man indeed to beâ€" gin with. A good trade might help you u‘tmer notions of gentlemanhood." Then I looked at the handsome fellowâ€" for he was handsome, and I thought involâ€" untarily of yeung Steve Gaskill. Steve has made is mark now, but many a year ago I heard just such a talk between him and old Josiah Gaskill relative to the young man learning his father‘s trade of a woolâ€" stapler. "It is a dirty business, father," said the splendid Steve, in a full evening dress, "and I hate the smell of oil, and the sight of these men in blue linen blouses. T hope I shall do something better for myself than that." "Very well, lad; whaten is thou fain to be ?" A "A lawyer, father." "They‘re nought but a lazy, quarrelsome set, but thou shannot say I iver stood i‘ thy gate. Be a lawyer, lad. I‘ll speak to Denham toâ€"morrow about thee." So young Steve was articled to Denham & Downes to study law, and especially "conveyancing." He was an only son,but he had three sisters, and over them and his mother he exercised supreme influence. Whatever Steve did was right: whatever he said was beyond dispute. Even old Josiah, with all his sound sense, was, in spite of himself, swayed by this undisputâ€" ed acknowledgement of Steve‘s superiority. He would not have his son to be a lawyer, but seeing that Steve was not afraid of beâ€" ing one, he was rather proud of the lad‘s pluck and ambition. It cost him a good deal. Steve‘s tastes were expensive, and he fell naturally amâ€" ong & class of men who led him into many extravagances. _ There were occasional awkward scenes, but Steve, supported by his mother and sisters, always cleared evâ€" ery serape, and finally satisfied the family pride in being regularly admitted upon the roll of Ker‘Majesty‘s attorneys. In the meantime his father had been daily failing in health, and soon after this event he died. Most of his savings had been secured for the benefit of the helpless women of the Gaskill family: and Steve now found himself with a profession and a thousand pounds to give him a fair start in it. People said old Gaskill acted very wisely, and Steve had sense enough to acâ€" quiesce in public opinion. He knew, too, that just as long as his mother or sister had a shilling, they would share it with So he hopefully opened his office in his native town of Leeds, and waited for cliâ€" ents. But Yorkshiremen are proverbially cautious ; a young, goodâ€"natured, fashionâ€" ably dressed lawyer was not their ideal. Steve could not look crafty and wise under any cireumstances, and the first year he did not make enough to pay his rent. Nevertheless he did not in any way cur. tail expenses ; and when the summer holiâ€" days arrived he went as usual to a fashion. able wateringâ€"place. It happened that year saw the debut of Miss Elizabeth Braithwaite, a great heiress, and a very handsome girl. Steve was attracted by BKELETON OF THE HEARTHSTONE A Romance of Labor. POETRY â€"LAxXsiNG V. Hau. T H E. her beauty, and her great wealth was cerâ€" tainly no drawback in his eyes. In a short time he perceived Miss Braithwaite favored him above all other pretenders to her hand, and he began seriously to conâ€" sider the advantages of a rich wife. Elizabeth was handsome and inclined to favor him, and though she had the reputaâ€" tion of being both authoritative in temper and economical in money matters, he did not doubt but she would finally acknowlâ€" edge his power as completely as his own mother and sisters. So he set himself to win Miss Braithwaite, and before Christâ€" mas they were married. True, he had been compelled to give up a great deal more than he liked; but he promised himself plenty of postâ€"martial compensations. _ Elizabeth insisted on retaining her own house, and as Steve had really no house te offer her, he must needs go to Braithwaite Hall, as the husband of its proprietress. She insisted upon his reâ€" moving his office to Braithwaite, a small village, offering none of the advantages for killing time like a large city like Leeds did; and she had all her monies scrupulously settled upon herself for her own use, and under her absolute control. His profession hitherto had been a failâ€" ure; his one thousand pounds was nearly spent;his three sisters were all on the point of marriage, a condition which might seriously modify their sisterly instinets; and his mother‘s whole annual income would not support him a monthâ€"would it not be the best plan to accept the good forâ€" tune so evidently within his reach ? Steve felt very much as if his wife had bought him ; but, for a little time, the eclat of having married a great heiress, the bridâ€" al festivities, and foreign travel, compenâ€" sated tor the loss of his freedom. But when they returned to Braithwaite, life soon showed him a far more prosaic side. Mrs. Gaskill‘s economical disposition soon became particularly offensive to Steve. She inquired closely into his business, and did not scruple to make unpleasantly witâ€" ty remarks about his income. She rapidly developed, too, an authoritative disposition against which Steve daily more and more rebelled. The young couple were soon very unhappy. The truth was, that a great transition was taking place in Steve‘s mind, and times of transition are always times of misery and unrest. The better part of his nature was beginning to claim a hearing. He had seen now all that good society could show him; he had tasted of all pleasures money can buy, and he was not happy. She had no ennu? and no dissatisfaction with herself. There was her largs house to oversee, her gardens and conservatorâ€" ies, her servants and charityâ€"schoois, her toilet, and a whole colony of pet animals. Her days were too short for all the small interests she would willingly have shared with Steve, but to him they soon became intolerable bores. Under some cireumstances he might have found his work in the ordering and investing of his wife‘s large estate; but Elizabeth was far too cautious a woman to trust it in untried hands. Her father‘s agent was her agent; her banker managed all her investments ; her park, and farms, and gardens, were all under the care of the old ~ad experienced servants, who looked upon Steve merely as "Miss‘s husâ€" In the second year of his marriage he began to have some thoughts which would have astonished his wife, could she have thought it worth her while to enquire what occupied his mind in the long, moody hours when he paced the shrubbery, or sat silently looking out of the window. But Steve was now ready for any honest thing that would take him out of the purposeless, dependent life which he had so foolishly chosen for himself. One day, greatly to his surprise, Elizaâ€" beth said to him :â€" "Steve, I have a letter from a cousin ot my mother‘s, who lives in Glasgow. She is going to Australia, and wants me to buy her house. She says it is a great bargain, and I wrote to Barrett to go and see about it. Ihave a letter this morning saying he is too ill to leave his bed. I wonder if you could go and attend to it? Anything for a change. Steve showed a very proper businessâ€"like interest, and "Yes, he would be very glad to go." "Very well; I should think you know enough of titles and deeds, and conveyancâ€" ing, and all that kind of thing. I will trust the affair to you, Steve." So the next morning Steve found himâ€" self on the Caledonian link, with one hunâ€". dred pounds in his pocket, and a veritable piece of business on hand. ‘The first twenâ€" ty miles out of Leeds he enjoyed the aban. don of a bird set free; then he began to think again. At Crewe he missed a train, and wandering about the station, fell into talk with the engineer of the next one,who was cleaning and exaraining his engine with all the love and pride a mother might give to a favorite child. _ The two men fraternized at onee, and Steve made the trip over the Caledonian line in the engineer‘s cuddy. He was a fine young fellow, "one of seven," he said, "all machiniste and engineers ; he was only serving his time, learning every branch of ‘ his business practically; he had brothers who made engines, and he hoped to do so In spite of his soiled face and cily clothes Stove recognized that refinement ~__~ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO "I thought you would be, sir ; it is not often I am mistaken in my likings. Iwill go with you now to see my father‘s works, if it suits you." Never had such a place ontered Stephen Gaskill‘s conception ; the immense furnacâ€" es, the hundreds of giants working around them, the clang of machinery, the mighty struggle of mind with matter, of intellect over elements, was revelation. . He envied those cyclops their leathern masks and aâ€" prons ; he longed to lift their mighty hamâ€" mers. . He looked upon the craftsmen with their bare, brawny arms and blackened hands, and felt his heart glow with admiâ€" ration when he eaw the mighty works those hands had fashioned. The tears were in his eyes when Andrew Dalrymple and he parted at the gate of the great walledâ€"in yard. that comes with education ; and when his new friend called upon him at the Queen‘s Hotel, be would not have been ashamed of his appearance, even in his most fastidious days. "Mr. Dalrymple, I am glad to see you," said Steve, holding out both hands to “Thnnk'you." said he ; "you have me the greatest possible service. I remember it. That night Steve formed a strange but" noble resolution. First of all, he dnohd‘ himself to his wife‘s business, and accomâ€" plished it in a manner which elicited Mr. Barrett‘s warm praise, and made Elizabeth wonder whether she might not spare her agent‘s fees for the future. Then he had a long confidential talk with the owner of the Dalrymple Iron and Machine Works, the result of which was the following letter to Mrs. Gaskill :â€" "My Dear WiIF®E,â€"I shall not be home: again for at least two years, for I have beâ€" ‘ gun an apprenticeship to Thomas Dalrymâ€" | ple here as an ironmaster. I propose to learn the whole process practically. I have lived too long upon your bounty, for I have lost your esteem as well as my own, and I do not say but what I have deserved the loss. Please God, I will redeem my wasted past, and with his help make a man of myself. When I am worthy to be your husband you will respect me, and unâ€" til then, think as kindly as possible of Srtepuex GaskmL." This letter struck the first noble chord in Elizabeth‘s heart. From that hour not even her favorite maid durst make her usâ€" ual litle compassionate sneer at "poor master." * Steve, in leathern mpron and coarse working clothes, began laboriously happy days, which brought him nights of sweetâ€" est sleep ; and Elizabeth began a series of letters to her husband which gradually grew more and more imbued with the tenâ€" derest interest and respect. In a few weeks she visited him of her own free will, and purposely going to the works, saw her selfâ€"banished lord wielding a ponderous hammer upon a bar of white hot iron. Swarthy, bareâ€"armed, clothed in leather, he had never looked so handsome in Elizâ€" abeth‘s eyes; and her eyes revealed this fact to Steve, for in them was the tender light of love, founded upon a genuino reâ€" spect. Steve deserved it. He wrought faithfulâ€" ly out his two years‘ service, cheered by his wife‘s letters and visits, and when he came out of the Dalrymple Works, there was no more finished ironmaster than he. He held his head frankly up now, and looked fortune boldly in the face ; he could earn his own living anywhere, and better than all he had conquered his wifeâ€"won her esteem and compelled her to acknowâ€" ledge a physical strength and a moral purâ€" pose greater than her own. Between Leeds and Braithwaite Hall there has been for many years gigantic ironworks. â€" The mills and railways of the West Riding know them well; their work is famous for its excellence, for the master is a practical machinist, and oversees evâ€" ery detail. Their profits are enormous, and Stephen Gaskill, their proprietor, is also the wellâ€"beloved and thoroughly reâ€" spected master of Braithwaite Hall, and of Braithwaite Hall‘s mistress. A ease of some interest was tried in the Hamilton Police Court a few days ago. As the driver of the stage between Hamilton and Strabane was nearing the city, he overtook the waggon of a teamster, and turned his team to the right with the inâ€" tention of passing. ‘The seamster, to preâ€" vent his passing, also turned to the right, and crowded the stage off the road, upsetâ€" ting it over an embankmens, seriously inâ€" juring a horse and breaking the vehicle. The stage driver had the teamster tried beâ€" fore the Magistrate for the purpose of mak» ing him pay costs. The teamsteradmitted the offence, but urged that the stage driver was atempting to pass on the wrong side. The judge decided that the teamster was right, and dismissed the case, Thestatute distinctly provides that a team in passing another on the road must pass on the left side. It would be well for parties driving with vehicles to bear this important fact in done Carpets are great hiders of dirtand dust, and a new broom easily restores them when too much dirt and dust are collected on their surface. But, then, they are holders of dirt and dust as well, and apart from the wast of money in covering places that do not need covering, the question of health involved in the use of carpets is a very seriâ€" ous one. The large pieces of furniture that in all our rooms stand against the wall do not need the carpet underthem ; the carpet on which they stan 4 represents just so much wasted money. Let any one give a rug a fair tmal, and he will find for himself how much less dust is made in the room, how much more easily the room is kept clean, and how much more easily and manageâ€" able the furniture is when the time for sweeping or dusting comes round. The principal objections to rugs is their first eost, which is as yet considerable. One large rug to cover the whole floor up to, or pearly up to, the large pieces of furniture is better than â€" several small ones, as these are apt to prove impediâ€" ‘ ments to trip up children and old people; besides, they give the room a patchy look. The best Turkey, Persian and Smyrna rugs are made by band of pure wool, and are so thick that if, as sometimes happens in their ewn country, a brazier of coals is upset on one of them, the charred portion, which in ease of a Brussels could never be effaced, will disappear after a few days‘ wear. After much using a good Eastern rug, walking on the best Brussels is like walking on the wooden floor for feeling. If it be only used, and not abused, it will improve with time and outwear more than one Brussels carpet. But the reader will say, "What are we to do with our floors?" The best thing of all is a wellâ€"laid floor of narrow boards of hard wood, properly deafened and well waxed or oiled ; if the floor be already laid, and n‘ poor one, then, if it can be afforded, an excellent way is to lay over it some wood carpeting, choosing one of the plainest patâ€" terns; but if that cannot be, then standing & dark color resource. One of these ways the end can be accomplished of making the floor tight and smooth, so that the rug once rolled oyer and out of the way, the sweepâ€" ing can all be done with a hairâ€"broom, and as little dust raised as possibie. No heavy piece of furniture should rest on the carpet, so that it is free to get up and go out and shake itself whenever the housemaid whistles to it.â€"‘"The House Beautiful," CuarExcs Coox. I suppose there are many farmers who never used a paint brush ; and I can imagine how their old rusty waggons, plows, ete., look, the wood work badly eracked, and going to ruin rapidly. It is of as much importance to keep farm impleâ€" ments well painted, as it is to paint a house; and every farmer should have an "outâ€"fit" of painting materials on hand, so as to be prepared to do any job in that line that may be necessary. _ All that is necesâ€" sary is a twoâ€"gallon oilâ€"can, a couple of _ brushes of different sizes, and the necessary paint ; but that can be bought as wanted, yet it is better to buy a 25 pound keg of white lead, and a can of oil (half boiled and half raw) as they will keep a long time. For plows, harrows, and the runningâ€"gear of waggons, you need only red lead and oil; but for other colors you will require the white lead. If you want a common black paint, use lampblack and oil; but for a carriage body get black coach paint at the wheelâ€"wright‘s, also some varâ€" nish to finish with. You would be surprisâ€" ed to see the nice work that you or the "boys" can do after a liitle practice ; and when you get in the way of doing your own painting, your keg of lead won‘tremain on your hands long. Why, there is money in paintâ€"actually bank bills, and gold and silverdollars. Forinstance you buy a new farm waggon, and keep it well painted and under cover when not in use. Now, your neighbor buys one at the same t:me, and doesn‘t paint it at all for ten or fifteen years; and what is the result? Worn out, decayed woodwork, splitand cracked, must be thrown aside as used up, while yours is as good almost as when new. You have found a hundred dollars in your paint; but your neighbor, poor man, has got, perhaps, to stint his family in the necessaries of life to pay form new waggon.
