What thou well canst do to-day;
Ere it comes. you may IN sorrow
Mourn for your unwise delay,
Every moment should be precious,
Not of one hast thou the right;
Early morn and brightest monday
But precede the deepest night.
If thou hadst one leisure moment.
Think thou of some generous deed,
And with steady purpose Go it,
For the Joy that is decreed.
In itthou wilt find more pleasure
Than in all earth's boasted bliss;
For in all her pomp and splandor,
What is there compared to this?

What is Meerschaum!

! That is a question often asked
now.a.days, when meerschaum pipes
are becoming so popular and so COM
mon. A New York paper thus an
iswers it:
! In the island of Negropont and
Samos. in the Archipelago, a pecu.
liar variety of magnesia is found on
the coast, beneath a thin strata
Iof earth. When first obtained it
resembles the foam or froth of the
sea, and thence it is termed meer-
schaum by the Germans. while the
French st) it ee,tDse de mer. Anal
ysis proves that it is composed of
magnesia, carbonic acid, water and
about four per cent. of SILK. The
idea, so common in this country that
me erschaum is tho foam Of the sea
originated 10 the resemblance refer
red to and also to the old fashion of
calling meerschaum pipes "sea-foam
pipes" When first dug from the
earth. the magnesia is soft and easily
moulded into any shape that fancy
may dictate. Ia this condition it
is formed into pipes and cigar holders
and exposed to the action of the
air until it hardens. Before being
boiled in wax or oil it is neatly as
light as pith, and foil of minute pores
through which pin or knife may
be stuck, with 10 moi. damsge than
the same operation performed on
fine sponge. The pipes ere boiled
in Wax or oil, in order to give them
a polish, as we'll as to render them
more durable; bat smoking soon burns
cut the oleaginous secretiCus,and the
"oil Of smoke" sinks into the pores
gradually until the outer surface is
colored.

The Drifting Boat.

1t had hoated away from beach and bay,
Out of sight of tower aud town,
An empty and battered boat,
But that boat would not go down;
The morning rose on the waters wide,
And the night fell cold and dark,
Yet ever on with tie wind auG tide,
Drlfted the battered bark.
The sail had parted from its broken mast,
And its painted pride was dim,
The salt sea-weed clung round its bows,
Which had been so sharp and trim.
Where were the merry mates and free,
Who had gone with it afoat?
We never learned; butthe worlds wide sea
Hath lives like that drifting boat
Lives that in early storm have lost,
Anchor and sail and oar,
And never, except on Lethe'S shore.
Can come to moorings more;
Out of whose loveless, trustees days,
The hope and heart have gone
Good ships go down IN the stormy seas,
But those empty boats drift on.

A New Dodge in Finance.

The Washington States describes
a noyel way Of raising funds, which
is carried on in that and other cities.
1t says:
1t seems that firm iu New York
adsertises that they have money
to loan. On application being
made, the borrower is required to
advance one per cent on the amount
be ,lesires, pending the consideration
of his application. 1t is rejected,
one.half the amount of one per cent
on toe sum desired is returned to
bin, aud the remaining half goes to
the firm for the ''trouble'' they have
been placed at in considering the
application.
Under the supposition that all ap-
plications are rejected, quite a hand
some mount on the p rcentage must
result to the pretended lenders.
The firm is located in New York,
aud an agency now exists some>
where in this city. Some one OF
the applications numbered, as rejec-
ted, $780," has reported the matter
to the New York police authorities.
However, it may be questioned
whether there are any false preteDces
about this, in view of the fact that
the applicant, before investing bis
money. understands the terms OF the
bargain. 3

formed him that every one of the

thrown off bis guard by the sanctity
of the day and the apparent serious

hands with his friend. Il was not

AbsuTdities Of The Law.

i. A lady was coming out of the
opera house, when a thief saatched
at her diamond earring and tore it
completely from her ear, causing it to
! bleed. Upon Ger return home, she.
found the ring lying in the tresses of
her hair. The man was tried for
stealing this ring. and being found
guilty BY the jury, the opinions Of ;be
Judges were takec whether this would
be considered a sufficient takingi-
The opinions of the judges were after
wards delivered, in which they held
that, as the ring bad been entirely
removed from the lady's ear, and vas
wholly in the possession Of the prs.
Oner, although but for an instant Of
time, when be lost it in hef hair, The
taking was complete. So where a
thief led horse from one part of a
field to another, intending to steal it,
but Was apprehended before be could
get the horse out Of the Geld, it was
decided that tie taking was complete.
In all these cases You have noticed
that the principle uYon which they
decided, ii that the property must
be completely severed from the pos
session Of the owner, no matter, in.
each case, for how short a period Of
time. Two or three eases showing
what is not sufficient taking, aud
then We proceed to consider another
branch of the subject. One WiIkin-.
son put bis hand into the pocket Of
another, seized bis purse and actually
succeeded 10 taking it out of his
pocket. However, the purse being
tied by piece of string to bunch
tof keys which still remained in tbe
person pocket, the thief Was unable
to accomplish his object, sid vas ar
rested and tried for stealing the
purse; but it was held that IS tie
purse was still attached to the peck
ct of the owner by the sting and
keys, it Was still in bis possession,
and the prisoner vas entitled 10 be
acquitted. So, where thief vent
into shop. took up some goods,si in
tending to steal them, but before he
had removed them far from the spot
on which they lay, discovered that
they were tied to the counter by a
cord; upon being tried for stealing, it
was held that The property never was
completely severed from the posses
sion Of The sSger. nor completely in
