LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE IT.
Let's oftcner talk of noble deeds,
And rarer of the bad ones.
And sing about our happy days,
And not about the sad ones.
We were not made to fret and sigh.
And when grief sleeps, to wake it;
Bright happiness is standing by
This life is what we make it.
Let's find the sunny side of mon,
Or be believers in it;
A light there is in every soul,
Tliat takes the pains to win it,
Oh, there's a slumb'ring good in all.
And we perchance may wake it;
Our hands contain tho magic wand
This life is what we make it.
Then heru's to thoso whoso loving hearts
Send light and joy about them!
Thanks be to them for countless gems,
We ne'erhad known without them.
Oh! this should be a happy world
To all who may partake it;
The fault's our own. if it is not,
This life is what we make it.
WILL'S LUGACY.
"Lill)', -dear, bud you not better
come in? Tbc air is chilly ami 1
fear you will take cold sitting on tbc
porch."
"Yes mamma, I was awaiting
Will and bo is coining now on the
pavement." As Will approached
Lilly, he smiled, in a way which, to
her, seemed forced.
"Here are 6omc flowers to revive
your spirits. What is troubling
your mind Will?"
"Lilly I thank you for these pre
cious tokens of love, and I shall
keep them whom I am far from you
my love."
"Far from me? I hope that will
uover be Will."
"Yes Lilly, I am going on a sea
voyage with Captain C , to the
East Indies, and expect to make a
fortune at it; then I will make you
my wifeaud wo will live in luxury."
"Oh will 1 what I give up for you
would not be sacrificing. 1'vo told
you many times, I choose your lovo
to gold."
"Yc8, my dear, I know that, but
I am going to gain enough to sup
port us botbaud you shall have your
carriage aud waiter as you now
have."
"Neither will you havo to stop
from your own class of society to be
my wife. And I must away, for 1
am going day after to-morrow ; but
I'll come again to-morrow even
ing." lie pressed her hand and took bis
leave, in tho quiet way that all true
lovers do.
Lilly sought her own room, and
there gave vent to a flood of tears.
She stood in her window; aud as
she gazed upon the garden by the
moon's pate light, she uttered an
crucst and fervent prayer that she
aud her lore should never parth till
death would part them. All night
her miud dwelt on Will, and the
parting.
The next morniug at breakfast,
Mrs. Grant niado some remarks on
her daughters pallid face. Her
brother George said, it was an attack
of the blues be guessed; but alter
they had retired from the dining
hall, her mother asked her if 6he
could not confide her troublo to
her.
"Mamma, Will is going to sea
aud indeed I shall miss him, for bo
is like a brother to me, aud I love
him dearly."
"This, my daughter, is too bad,
but trust in Uini who rulcth all
things well."
Lilly spent the day in meditation
aud sorrow, up stairs iu her own
room, till evening was aproachiug
when sho came to her accustomed
seat the piazza.
Tho flowers had folded their petals ;
the sunbeams were still lingering on
the waters of the calm lake lighting
, n its surface with many colored
rays. The Dims were cnammg tncir
evening song, as if they wanted to
show their gratitude to Ilim who
cared for them ; aa Dame Nature was
spreading her mantlo of darkness
over her children.
Lilly's riverio was broken by
Will's coming, who took her un
aware in this sober mood.
"You look lovely Lilly, but too
pale. I hope jou aro not troubled
about my leaving. Arc you lovo?"
Sho answered with tears which
Will kissed away ere they fell.
"Dry those tears my own darling,
I would livo a thousand lives for
such love, such pure and holy affec
tion. I havo auotber story this even
ing to tell you. My uncle sent me a
dispatch to make him a visit and
meanwhile he would aid me in
proving heirship to a legacy not less
than one million of dollars. Now,
Lilly, I will not have to leave you, I
will make you my bride aud you
may accompany me, if agreeable to
my love."
"Where do you go to provo heir
ship and how soon ?"
"To England, and as soon as you
are ready, Lilly."
The wedding day came and two
lives were united into one, instead
of being separated, os all had an
ticipated. They said their farewells
and were soon on their way to the
great city of London.
Lilly was noticed by tho rich and
often spoken to, while Will, being
of a lower class, (or pooror) was un
noticed by many who ape gentility.
But there were others who spojjo
with both alike.
The sea was calm and bo lovely
were the ripples as dancing in the
sunlight they sparkled liko dew
drops iu the morning sun.
They were met by Will's uncle's
coachman and in a few minutes
were at Mr. Walton's mansion.
Mrs. Walion met them in the hall
and clasped tho fair bride to her
breast and kissed her, then con
gratulated Will by IcIIinjr him he
bad increased his fortune by taking
such a precious Lilly for a wife.
She showed the couple to their
rooms that they might prepare for
dinner.
When the bell rang, Lilly camo
down with a sweet smile on her face,
aud Mrs. Walton again remarked on
her lovliuess. "Indeed Aunt I hope
you will not mako my wifo vain for
she is all the world to me, but I de
spise vauily."
After dinner Lilly's husband and
his uncle went to town in the car
riage to see about the legacy which
had been lift to Will.
Lilly admired tho paintings and
statuary and then being tired took a
6cat by the piano and performed ono
of her favorite pieces, while Mrs.
Walton was engaged (or tried to be)
iu a novel. But when her niece bad
finished the music she was fast
asleep, on the sofa.
Looking out Lilly saw the carriage
driving up the park and when
the gentlemen camo in it roused
Mrs. Walton.
"Lilly, you and Will arc to re
main in London a whilo to provo
heirship and I think you had better
mako this your home; we have no
children aud you arc welcome to our
ho;:sc as long as you wish.
Mr. and Mrs. Walton have long
passed away, and Lilly and Will
Walton aro the possessors of the
grand old mansion. Lilly is tbc
mother of a chubby little four year
old boy, just the image of bis father.
Lilly iu her prayer at night prays
to be spared to her darling boy. and
nlso thanka God that He ever an
swered her prayer, and sent Will's
legacy. L. E. Lee,
West Hill, Nebr.
The itcNt Heritage.
If I were hiJkuIi fvhat I thought
tho best and wisest heritage a man
could leave his children, says a writ
er: what among the goods of earth
it would be wisest in a man to seek
and improve aud preserve for those
ho loved who wero to come after
him, I should answer a Home. Let
not the cynic come in hero with his
"matter of course ;" for by a home I
do not mean acres, nor a palace, but
the place where your childhood was
spent; where there was a mother
aud a father who were not a terror
aud a dread; where there were
brothers and sisters whose names
and characters aro associated with
things at every turn ; where you all
havo been accustomed to meet on
festival days 6ince tho years of
school vacations, and where now, in
your maturo years, your thoughts
often wander, with a sigh for old
days, and a tenderer regard than
you can find to bestow anywhere
else on earth.
Such homes do not grow every
where spontaneously but thousands
such aro blighted iu the bud by neg
lect, in the pursuit of ignoble things.
Such homes aro to be cultivated by
small sacrifices on the part of every
member of the family. When tbc
blind trust aud faith of childhood is
gone, as must needs bo, and tho
human faults of father, mother,
brother and 6ister obtrudo them
selves, a spirit of discord is at the
threshold to which they must all
succumb. Blessed Is that family
who at this critical hour decide to
set tho concord of Home before all,
and sacrifice, if necessary, every per
sonal ambition and feeling to its per
fect preservation.
Tho boy who enters the world
with this ideal in his breast has a
key that will unlock more doors in
tbc way to happiness than any othor
yet known.
A little five-year-old boy was
asked by a lady, the other day for a
kiss. He immediately complied,
but the lady, noticing that the little
fellow drew his band across bis lips,
remarked, "Ah, but you are rubbing
it off." "No, I ain't," was the quick
rejoinder ; "I'm rubbing it in."
"What is tho name of yonr cat,
sir?" inquired a visitor. "His name
was William," said the host, "until
he bad fits, and since then we havo
called him Fitz-William!"
Ah Unexpected Meeting.
Twenty years ago, tbc daughter of
a Scotch farmer married a plough
man in her father's service The
old gentleman was furious and turn
ed his back determinedly on his
son-in-law. The young ploughman
kissed his wife, left her in her
father's arras and sailed for Austra
lia, whence he soon ceased to write
His wife became a mother, and re
mained iu such a state of wretched
suspense that her father began to
repent of the treatment to which he
had subjected her husband. Efforts
were made to trace the whereabouts
of the latter by means of advertis
ing in the colonial papers and oth
erwise, but all to no purpose. He
bad gone to America. Years pass
ed. The grand -son grew up lo
manhood, and, not liking farm
work, bid adieu to the old country
and camo to tho new. After somo
knocking about, ho found employ
ment iu a mercautilo house in
Illinois. In the course of business
ho discovered that the gentleman
at the head of the firm was a native
of Scotland, hailing indued from the
same district as himself. Occasion
al meetings led to more minute
inquiries as to dates, names of per
sons, places, and the liko in the old
country, and after being bix months
iu the establishment the youth found
however wonderful it may ap
pear he was actually serving as a
clerk with no other than his own
father 1 The effect of this discovery
on both 6idos may bo loft to the
imagination of the reader. Father
and son are now iu Scotland. Tho
man who wont away a penniless
ploughman but returns rich, has
been welcomed with much emotion
by his venerable fathcr-iu-law, who
is still hale and hearty, as well as
by the wife whom he left many
years ago in her youth and beauty,
but who is now a middle-aged
matron. After that who can say
that the days of romauco have
ended ?
The north could sec a good reason
for the hostility of a nearly solid
south to the military repression pol
icy of the Grant government; but
could not sec a good reason for the
no less intense hostility of a com
pletely solid south against a govern
ment that had discontinued that
offensive policy and pursued exactly
its opposite. The release of the
south from the oppression of
"Grant's bayonet's" wa3 followed by
a consequence which tbc north did.
not Iook 10T, namely, the appearance
of a solid-south party in both houses
of congress proclaiming: "We have
captured tho capitoll wo propose
to celebrate our victory by wiping
out your national enactments and
recovering our Lost Cause I" Noth
ing has or could have occurred to
give 6o great an impetuslo the Grant
movement as was given to it by this
attack of tho solid south upon the
national enactments, response to a
discontinuance of the Grant policy.
All the influences it was possible for
the disaffected "Grant stalwarts" to
command were impotent for its ad
vauccment by comparison to the
negative influence of this reaction
ary causo by the combined southern
brigadiers and northern Bourbons.
Of all tho promoters of the Grant
movement, they were, and still are,
a thousand-fold the most effective.
If Grant should be nominated and
elected in 1830, it is to this reaction
ary course of tho southern politi
cians more than to all clso that tho
result would be due.
But this renewal of the contest for
tbc Lost Causo was followed by a
consequence which the southerners
and their northern allies did notan
ticipate. The administration party,
divided by the discontinuance of
Grant's policy, was reunited, not in
favor of the Grant movement, but in
antagonism to the renewed state
sovereignty movement. The Hayes
and the anti-Hayes factions were
brought together, and the party thus
reunited made stronger and more
harmonious than it had been at any
time before in a dozen years. Six
months ago Mr. Hayes' government
was a government without a party;
now it is a government with a strong
compact, thoroughly united and har
monious party behind it, while its
opponents are a broken, demoralized
army of factions defeated by their
own folly. Chicaijo Times.

Dr. Holland, in a discussion of
church music in Scribncr for May,
writes as follows:
For ourselves, wo aro very much
afraid of the movement toward con
gregational music. Tho tendency
thus far has been to depreciate not
only the quality of music in the
churches, but tho importance of it,
and to make public worship very
much less altractivo to the great
world, which it is tho church's duty
and policy to attract and to influ
ence. Tho churches arc full, as a
rule, where tho music is excellent.
This fact may not be very flattering
to preachers, but it is a fact, aud it
is quito a legitimato question wheth
er a church has a right to surrender
any attraction that will give it a hold
upon tho attention of the world, es
pecially if that attraction is an ele
vating one, and in the direct line of
Christian influence Congregational
singing is well enough in its place
and proportions, but very little of
tho inspiration of music comes
through it. It is. indeed, more of a
torture than a plcasuro to many mu
sical aud devout people. The idoal
arrangement, as it seems to us, is a
first-class quartette, made up of
soloists, who tako a prominent part
in the public service, with a single
choral in each service given to tbc
congregation to siug. In this way,
tho two offices of music in public
religious assemblies seem to bo se
cured more surely aud satisfactorily
than in any other.
Hereford m.
This breed, which is but little
known, and not half appreciated as
they should be, comes nearest com
petition with the 6hort-horns, both
in size and quality of flesh, of any
other, class, says tho Iowa State
Register. They arc of English ori
gin, and the first ever imported was
by that unrivalled statesmen and
lover of fine stock, Henry Clay.
Shortly after the treaty of Ghent in
ISM, in which Clay was an activo
commissioucr,he brought homo with
him to his farm at Ashland, two
bulls and two cows noble speci
mens of Hereford breed. A few
years later they were imported to
Massachusetts. At that period iu
our cattle history, breeders were not
as particular to keep the breed pure
and distinct as now, and as a conse
quence there are few if any thor
oughbred descendents of the Here

red iu color, with white or mottled
faces, frequently white bellies and
lines along the back. In England
they arc claimed to bo an ancient
breed, and their distinctive uniform
appearance, and the pertinacity with
which they perpetuate their type
bears out their reputation of being
thoroughly bred. They arc more
appreciated in the rugged climate of
Canada, than in our milder portion
of the United States. They can evi
dently stand hard usage better than
short-horus. They arc not, however,
wc are sorry to say, appreciated
with us as they should be.
They arc proving so well adapted
to our western plains that it is un
derstood the demand for bulls far
exceeds the supply. And tbc dc
maud is likely to increase.
The ooiI Old Times.
There is a great deal of nonsense
talked about tho good old times.
Every city, town, or villnge in the
land has its croakers, who sec noth
ing but disaster in tho futuro, hard
times in the present, and good times
in the past. The Adrian Times tells
of one of these complaiuiug individ
uals who was growling about the
present low price of wheat. A
well known Michigan citizen gives
a little of his experience in tho good
old times of forty years ago. lie liv
ed where Burr Oak now stands, and
wanting to get some barrels of salt,
bo put somo thirty bushels of wheat
in his wagon, and started for Adrian,
eighty miles away. As he could not
get cash there ho went on to Pal
myra mills and sold his wheat for
fifty cents a bushel. Going back to
Adrian, he paid $3 for two barrels
of salt, and got back to Burr Oak
after being five days gone, being de
layed by the execrable roads. This
is a fair sample of the good old times
and it must be admitted they do not
flatter themselves by comparison
with the times we have at present.

lragrglt" Indicted.
Nineteen indictments were found
by the last grand jury in York coun
ty against druggists for selling
liquor without license. Tho indict
ments aro not based on charges of
selling liquor as a beverage alone,
but for medical purposes as well.
Iu the trial of Joseph Brown, as a
test case, one witness swore that ho
purchased a pint of liquor of the ac
cused for medical purposes; and
Judge Post's instructions to the jury
wore, that selling intoxicating liqu
ors of any kind for any pnrposo
without licenso is unlawful. Soil
ing intoxicating liquors for mechan
ical, medicinal, or sacramental pur
poses is a violation of law unless
licenso has first been secured, ac
cording to Judge Post's interpreta
tion of tbc law. These rulings aro
iu strict conformity to the letter of
the law, and it is moro than likely
that tho supremo court will sustain
the rulings when it cornea to pass
upon the case.
Should the supreme court sustain
tho decision wc may look for tho in
dictment of druggists all over tho
state, aud undoubtedly Judgo Post
will so instruct tbo juries in his
district.
As far as York drug stores aro
concerned, wc havo often bcon in

business in the vending of intoxicat
ing liquors, and that they wero not

Henry Ward Becchcr, lately
preaching ou tho subject of death,
made the tbc following remarks:
"Gencraly there is no pain at tho
last moment, for it seems that tbo
body sutl'errf iu proportion to its re
moteness from death. It is general
ly supposed that evil men dio in
great horror of their doom. Thoy .
don't. Wicked men usually pass
out of life as tranquilly as nuy ono
else. Tranquility is tbo law of de
cadence. Pain, or exquisito plcasuro
at the last, aro only experienced in
exceptional cases. Men sutler mora
every day of their lives than they
do iu dying. Every man subject to
the incursions of rheumatic afllic
tious, or to tho pangs of tbo tooth
ache, suffers a hundred times moro
than he will ou his deathbed. No
death is more painless than u sudden
death. Livingstone records his cx-
perincc when sprang upon n
struck down by a lion. The n
the beswas on him, was o
most exquisito 'if-jnm,
dcatbbcad is too sudden for him who
is doing his duty. Not tho stroke
of lightning; not tho fall from tho
precipice. Kight living is the cor
rect road to right dying, and no man
need to fear death."

Ah Imperial ICeraaacc.
There is a touch of romance about
tho marriage of the Emperor and
Empress of Austria. Tho Empress
is his cousin. Ilcrcldest sister, now
Princess of Thurn-Taxis, was de
stined for tho Imperial throno; but
tho young monarch, on going to
Munich to visit his intended bride,
was so struck with the beauty and
charms of her younger sister that,
after a ball at tho palaco of her
father, Duke Max, ho presented tbo
simple young Bavarian girl, then
but 1G, with a bouquet, telling her
sho was thenceforth Empress of
Austria and Queen of Bohemia and
