The Mill-Stream.
{ iit bSteide thee, tai II-stream.
The whoel goes whirring round :
The bairaics play among th8 hay.
Their yellow ringlets float away
On light blue air that seema to say.
"Be merry, skip and bound,
And clanco beside the mill-stream;
There's music in the sound."
i sit besidejtbee, i
A-knitting stockings brown, -
So spick-and-span for my old man
( He's in the mill among the bran):
And show a leg and loot he can,
For one that's growing down.
As shapely to thee, mill-stream.
As any Jo in town.

I love thy brawling, mai-etream,
A3 dearly as thy splash,
When its foam-kiss, on days like this,
Lights up the wheel with sunny bliss;
For if I hear thy wrathful hiss
Below the tempest crash,
1 know the wheel turns, mill-stream,
The faster for, the clash.

My cherries, and my apple-trees,
I thank kind Providence for these,
His gifts around me strewn;
I well may think onr nill-atieam
Is never out of tnne.
This homestead nigh thee, mill-stream,
Held once two bonny boys;
My little Joe to lying low*
But Willie has a farm to show;
Fine crops of wheat and barley mow,
And wife, and household joys;
His bairns stand yonder, mill-atream.
AwLfato*to the noise.
I would not leave thee, mill-stream.
Before these limbs are drest
For my last bed, that shall be spread
Close by my buried darling's bead-;
There, turf lies softly on the dead:
There I shall be at Test,
Xoc hear the clatter, mill-stream,
Above the old wife's breast.
For the Houston Mercary.
Women Who Want to be Men.
BY MISS E. CHEESBOBOUGH
There are women who are
always longing to be men. Not
content with the greater blessing
of being women, they desire t©
fling the gates of the world wide
open, and enter that portion of it
trod only by manly feet.
These women tell yon that they
waa't to see the world,, the whole
worM, not a partof it, such as
meets woman's eyes. They never
consider that the part of the
world hid from woman, is the
dark part; that portion on which
too often the shadows of night
and death rest. The sunny side
of the worid womaa sees; she is
privileged to enter into its palaces
and temples, its festal halls and
galleries of art. Why should she
wish to enter, dens of iniquity,
and sully her poor soul by contact
with impurity f Why should she
want to see sights that man can
look at, bat at which angels cover
their eyas f Seeing the world as
these women mean, is seeing that
of which men themselves are
ashamed in their better moments.
As much of the world as is good
for woman to see, she does see ;
let her try to see more, and her
curiosity will bring it awn pun
ishment, even as that of Eve
drove her out, and shut the gates
of Eden on her forever.
They want to be men that they
may have strength and power,
and rule in the land. They think
their sphere too circumscribed,
they would vote and hold office,
and barter and trade iu the busy
marts of life. That God has
made them women, and given
them the limited strength of
women, is a" bitter enp to drink,
and they would dash it to the
ground impatiently.
If woman's sphere was really a
limited one, if her plane was really
lower than that of man, we
could comprehend these aspira-
tions. But it is not. God has
placed woman on an elevation,
and, in wishing to become a mall,
she is seeking to descend. Ske
does not appreciate the cool, clear
atmosphere i* wteefe she has been
placed—that serene sky, above
the fogs of business and the quick
sands of political life. No women
who, reverences her womanhood
wishes to be, a man; no woman
who properly understands wo-
man's mission would seek to lay it
down for that of a man.
Madame Dndevant, calling her-
self George Sand, tfressed in male
attire, smoking a cigar, and being
addressed as "mon frere," was not
an attractive objectto contemplate.
When die ceased to be leminine
she ceased to be attractive; die
cast aside her wanea's dress, that
she might also cast aside the
wkekasone. restraints which that
<lress imposed; she wished to be
a man that she might ape man's
ignoble, not Tils noble part.; and
all the touches of her genius will
never blot out the record of those
days when she attempted to sink
the woman and assume the man.
Let women be thanktfel for their
womanhood &« sprecsects giftirom
heaven. Womb means beauty,
parityr and these wrap soul
and body in a garment of light.
Lay down these for freedom,
strength, intellect, and what do
we gain? Answer, ye women who
want to be men. r ~ -
How Much Kieh Men Hare.
"It is not What a Man h a, but What he
U, That Makes IHtn Rich."
Look at him! he is just getting
out of his carriage. He steps with
difficulty; his face is seamed with
care; his coat is rusty—you would
not know him in the street from any
hard working business man. Yet
he owns whole streets full of
houses and miles of unimproved
property. He keeps an army of
servants in his great house up
town, and an army of clerks in his
business houses down town. He
neither chick nor child, and
he lives on a bowl of gruel for his
breakfast and the wing of a chick-
en for his dinner—he dare not eat
supper. What does he get out of
his money? j, -
His house, it is true, cost him a
hundred thousand dollars, but he
occupies the smallest room, sits
on the plainest chair, eats the sim-
plest food, and sleeps the least of
any one in it. While he was sav-
ing the money, he thought he was
doing it for himself, and the
thought stimulated him to save
more. While he was building the
house he thought he was building
it for himself, and he consulted
architects, and had plan after plan
drawn oat, until be believed that
he had found one that was per-
fection.
But he knows now that it was
a mistake all the way through;
he did not save the money fot
himself, for there is nothing that
he wants of it now he has got it.
He did not build the house for
himself, for he cannot occupy it;
it is simply a small hotel, which
5TS luxurious accommodation
free, and a round sum of pocket
money to a dozen male and female
domestics, who enjoy it infinitely
more than he does; who give him
as much or as little as they choose
of everything that he has, and
who consider him only valuable
as a money bag, from wbieh their
supplies are drawn.
As a lad, how he envied the
rich man! how he dreamed of
what he would dp when he became
possessed of wealth ! how greed-
ily he looked at a fine house, at a
adsome equipage, at the insig-
aia of money, and socidl position !
And now he is rich, but he does
not realize it; he thinks of noth-
ing but the twinges of his rheuma-
tism, the complainings or delin-
quencies of his tenants, or the
"tricks" of his ^rascally" servants.
He does not really live in his
house or ride in his carriage, for
in the one he does little but sit
and think upon the happy times
when he was a poor boy at home
upon the farm, and in the other
wish, that by giving it, with his
fine horses, to the manly young
fellow whom it passes in the
street, he could, bay his health,
activity and power of eujoy^uent.
It is not what a man has, but
what heia, that niakes him rich.

A Potato-Bug Story.
A sad case has just come to
light in Braddock fields. A man
residing here, who had a small
field within the Fields, found hun-
self and his little fiuaily epr-
rounded by potato-bugs, with
stripes up and down, ami some, Of
them crosswise. He tried ajl
kinds of remedies, but the bugs
snorted at hi$u,iu, s^c)^ gnd made
hostile demonstrations. He was
advised to try the tobacco Cure.
He did it. He bought a paper ef
fine-cut and commenced to chew
it. It was his first eflwt at chew-
ing. He went eat- and got a
basket full of bugs and squirted
m tebaee# *vee,
and they snapped their tails and
half of the paper iff fiiie-cut when
he commenced- to giw white
about the gills. He laid the
basket that had the bugs in it
down, and put his hand tip lb Ms
£ efceiia/fettli foaad a ^o^isweat
standing upon his brow. He said
to his wife : "My- dear, I am
pained to announce that I ha
the cholera. Ply, if you w<
save ' yifcfrsetf. LeaVe itie to n y
•ftfte, and seek safcfry in flight."
And then he i got so sick he
eouldn't contain himself or any-'
thing. IBs wife rushed away
down to the Fields, and in a few
moments had the whele borgugh
in a fit about the cholera. Ira re-
covered, hot says he don't kelieve
in exterminating^potato-bugs by

The New York Herald has
achieved another journalistic tri-
umph. By running a through
lightning express to Baltimore
and Washington it supplies these
two cities, ae well as Philadelphia,
with that paper four hours earlier
than formerly. The newsdealers
and people in Baltimore were so
sisted that the paper had\eeu an-
tedated. But It was nevertheless
true. The Herald had come
through in six boars, and that,
too, without the intervention or
Professor Wise and his balloon, or
the tubular air-tminel. The Herald
certainly does deserve credit lor
the enterprise its management ex

for its liberality towards its broth

The coinage of the British Mint
daring the year 1872 was very
large, as appears by the official
report, a printed copy of which 1
has just been received by the
Director of the Mint. It was over
seventy-three miflioii dollars in
gold and six million dollars j iu
silver. Referring to this large
coinage, and toneajly forty million
dollars coined during the last six
months erf 1671, the report stajlea
that it is the mn lemarkable, as,
with the exception of about ten
million doBafs, tramanitted to the
German mints, the whole coinage
appears to have been legitimately
employed for'home and foreign
eireaL-itiou in the usual manner.
