"We can speak from personal experience that Packer's Tar Soap is carefully made from vegetable oils. It is exceedingly smooth and agreeable to the skin, and as it is combined with pine tar and glycerine, it is a valuable remedy in skin diseases, as well as pleasant for toilet uses.

EARTH'S ANGELS.
Why come not spirits from the realms of glory
To visit earth as in the days of old,
The times of sacred writ and ancient story?
Is heaven more distant? or has earth grown
cold?

Oft have I gazed, when sunset clouds receding
Waved like rich banners of a host gone by,
To catch the gleam of some white pinion speeding
Along the confines of the glowing sky.
And oft, when midnight stars in distant chillness
Were calmly burning, listened late and long,
But Nature's pulse beat on in solemn stillness,
Bearing no echo of the seraph's song.

To Bethlehem's air was their last anthem given,
When other stars before The One grew dim?
Was their last presence known in Peter's prison?
Or where exulting martyrs raised their hymn?
And are they all within the vale departed?
There gleams no wings along the empyrean

now;

And many a tear from human eye has started,

Since angel touch has calmed a mortal brow. No: earth has angels, though their forms are moulded

But of such clay as fashions all below; Though harps are wanting and bright pinions folded,

We know them by the love-light on their brow.

I have seen angels by the sick one's pillow-Theirs was the soft tone and the soundless tread

Where smitten hearts were dropping like the willow

They stood "between the living and the dead." And if my sight, by earthly dimness hindered, Behold no hovering cherubim in air,

I doubt not, for spirits know their kindred,
They smiled upon the wingless watchers there.
There have been angels in the gloomy prison,
In crowded halls-by the lone widow's hearth;
And where they passed, the fallen have uprisen-
The giddy paused-the mourner's hope had
birth.

I have seen one whose eloquence commanding
Roused the rich echoes of the human breast;
The blandishments of wealth and ease with-
standing,

So fades the world's most luring prize
On eyes that close in sweet repose

Till wakes the dawn.

Why vex our souls with wearing care,
Why shun the grave, for aching head
So cool and low?
Have we found life so passing fair,
So grand to be, so sweet, that we
Should dread to go?

Some other hand the task can take,
If so it seemeth best, the task by us begun;
No work for which we need to wake
In joy or grief, for life so brief,
Beneath the sun.

Oh, Father? bless in love thy child!
We lay us down to sleep.
-Unidentified.

HE LEADS US ON.
He leads us on

By paths we do not know.
Upward he leads us, though our steps be slow,
Though oft we faint and falter on the way,
Though storms and darkness oft obscure the day,
Yet when the clouds are gone
We know he leads us on.

He leads us on

Through all the unquiet years; Past all our dreamland hopes, and doubts, and fears,

He guides our steps. Through all the tangled

maze,

Of sin, of sorrow, and o'erclouded days
We know his will is done;
And still he leads us on.
And He, at last,

After the weary strife,

After the restless fever we call life, After the dreariness, the aching pain,

WOODS IN WINTER. When winter winds are piercing chill, And through the hawthorn blows the gale, With solemn feet I tread the hill

That overbrows the lonely vale. O'er the bare upland, and away

Through the long reach of desert woods, The embracing sunbeams chastely play, And gladden those deep solitudes. Where, twisted round the barren oak, The summer vine in beauty clung, And summer winds the silence broke,

The crystal icicle is hung.

When, from the frozen urns, mute springs
Pour out the river's gradual tide,
Shrilly the skater's iron rings,

And voices fill the woodland side.
Alas! how changed from the fair scene,
When birds sang out their mellow lay,
And winds were soft, and woods were green,
And the song ceased not with the day.
But still wild music is abroad,

Pale, desert woods! within your crowd; And gathering winds in hoarse accord Amid the vocal reeds pipe loud. Chill airs and wintry winds! my ear Has grown familiar with your song;

I hear it in the opening year

I listen, and it cheers me long.

-H. W. Longfellow.

ONE LESS AT HOME.
One less at home!

The charmed circle broken-a dear face
Missed day by day from its accustomed place;
But, cleansed and saved and perfected by grace,
One more in heaven!

One less at home!

One voice of welcome hushed, and evermore

The wayward struggles which have proved in One farewell word unspoken; on the shore vain,

After our toils are past, Will give us rest at last.

-Unidentified.

THE GRUMBLER. HIS YOUTH.

His cap was too thick, and his coat was too thin;
He couldn't be quiet; he hated a din;
He hated to write, and he hated to read;
He was certainly very much injured indeed!

That hope might reach the suffering and He must study and toil over work he detested; opprest.

And by his side there moved a form of beauty
Strewing sweet flowers along his path of life,
And looking up with meek and love-lent duty;
I called her angel, but he called her wife.
O many a spirit walks the world unheeded,
That, when its veil of sadness is laid down,
Shall soar aloft with pinions unimpeded.
And wear its glory like a starry crown.
-Elizabeth Akers Allen.

WE LAY US CALMLY DOWN TO
SLEEP.

We lay us camly down to sleep
When friendly night is come, and leave
To God the rest;
Whether we wake to smile or weep,
Or wake no more on Time's fair shore,
He knoweth best.

As sinks the sun in western skies
When day is done and twilight dim
Comes silent on,

His parents were strict, and he never was rested; He knew he was wretched as wretched could be, There was no one as wretchedly wretched as he.

HIS MATURITY.

His farm was too small, and his taxes too big;
He was selfish and lazy, and cross as a pig;
His wife was too silly, his children too rude,
And just because he was uncommonly good!
He hadn't got money enough and to spare;
He had nothing at all fit to eat or to wear;
He knew he was wretched as wretched could be,
There was no one so wretchedly wretched as he.

HIS OLD AGE.

He finds he has sorrows more deep than his fears;
He grumbles to think he has grumbled for years;
He grumbles to think he has grumbled away
His home and his children, his life's little day;
But alas! 'tis too late! it is no use to say
That his eyes are too dim, and his hair is too gray.
He knows he is wretched as wretched can be,
There is no one so wretchedly wretched as he.
-Dora Read Goodale.

Where parting comes not, one soul landed more

One more in heaven!

One less at home!

A sense of loss that meets us at the gate;
Within, a place unfilled and desolate;
And far away our coming to await,
One more in heaven!

One less at home!

Chill as the earth-born mist the thought would rise,

And wrap our footsteps round and dim our eyes; But the bright sunbeam darteth from the skies-One more in heaven!

One more at home! This is not home, where cramped in earthly mold, Our sight of Christ is dim, our love is cold; But there, where face to face we shall behold, Is home and heaven!

One less on earth!

Its pain, its sorrow and its toil to share ;
One less the pilgrim's daily cross to bear;
One more the crown of ransomed souls to wear,
At home in heaven!

One more in heaven!
Another thought to brighten cloudy days,
Another theme for thankfulness and praise,
Another link on high our souls to raise

To home and heaven!

One more at homeThat home where separation cannot be, That home whence none are missed eternally. Lord Jesus, grant us all a place with Thee, At home in heaven!

Prominent place will be given to Catherine Owen's practical and valuable Serial, “Ten Dollars Enough, or Keeping House Well on Ten Dollars a Week," in the course of which publication it will be shown how far a much less sum than that will go in the exercise of prudence and economy in the ordinary duties of housekeeping.

The valuable papers of Miss Parloa will be continued regularly. Mrs. Rose Terry Cooke will conclude her Two Chapters of "What to Eat."

BUSINESS NOTES.

Pillsbury's Best " is a brand of flour so well known that it is hardly necessary to call attention to its many good qualities, still we advise a trial to those not familiar with its merits.

If any of our young readers, or old ones either, for that matter, desire to obtain something good, interesting and instructive in the line of periodical literature for the coming winter they should not fail to get The Golden Argosy, a neat quarto which is published weekly by Frank A. Munsey at 81 Warren Street, New York City. In our opinion it is one of the best and handsomest publications issued in the United States. We would call attention to the announcement of The Golden Argosy for the coming year, published in the last issue of GOOD HOUSEKEEPING. We are assured that the offer is perfectly reliable.
