A COMMENTED FARMER.

Once upon time Frederick, King of
Prussia, surnamed "Old Fritz" took a ride
and espied an old farmer, plOwing his acre
by the wayside, cheerily singing his melo-
dy.
"YOu must be well of, old man." said
the king. "Does this acre belong to you,
on which you so industriOusly labor?''
"NO, sir" replied the farmer, who did
not know he was the king; 81 am not SO
rich as that; 1 plow for wages"
"HOw much do you get a day?" asked
the king.
Eight grOschen," about twenty cents,)
said the farmer.
This is not much,' replied the king;
"ean you get along with this?"
Get along and have something left"
''How is that?"
The farmer smiled and said:
We'll, if l must tell you; Two grOschen
are for myself and wife; two pay my old;
debts; two lend away; and two 1 give
away for the Lords sake.
''This is mystery that 1 cannot solve,
replied the king.
Then 1 will solve it for yOu," said the
farmer.
81 have two old parents at home who
kept me when l was weak and needed help
l keep them. This is my debt, toward
which 1 pay two grOschen a day. The
third pair of groschen which lend away l
spend for my children, that they may re-
eeive Christian instruction. This will be-
come handy to ME and my wife when VIC
get O'd With the last two groschen
maintain two sick sisters, whom l would
not be compelled to keep; this 1 give for
tie Lords sake"
The king, well pleased with his answer,
said:
"Bravely spoken, old man. Now I will
also give something to guess. Have you
ever seen me before?'
"Never," said the farmer.
'In less than five minutes you shall see
me fifty times, and carry in your pocket
fifty of my ikenesses."
This is a riddle which 1 cannot unray-
cl," said the farmer.
Then L will DO it for yOu," replied the
king.
Thrusting his hand into his pocket, and
counting him fifty bran new gold pieces
into his hand, stamped with his royal like
ness, he said to the astOnished farmer, who
knew not what was coming
''The coin is genuine, for it also comes
from our Lord God, and am his paymas-

an aged bachelor friend of ours, who stands

The cultivation of taste in dress is favOra-
bic to some of the female virtues Lavater,
the man who, long before the birth of phre-
nOlogy. wrote a clever book on physiognO-
my, gives a good opinion of people who are
fond of dressing well.and throws something
more than suspicion on ladies who are care
less of their apparel. He says;
Young women who neglect their toll
ette, indicate in this very particular dis
regard of order. deficiency of taste, and
the qualities which inspire love. The girl
of eighteen years, who does not desile to
please in 50 obvious a matter of dress, will
be slut, and probably shrew, at twcn-
ty-fve.'
When so much is written about the sin
and danger of dress. it is pleasant to sec a
sensible record, now and then, on the 9TH
er side.

EARLY RISING.

There is a capital anecdote of the reign
of Louis XVI of France, according to
which some ladies got it into their heads,
from some book they had been reading.
that it must be glorious thing to see the
sun rise. But as that took place in the
only hours in which they were uniformly
in bed, what was to be done? After much
consideration, it being of course impossible
for them to think of rising so early, they
resolved to have party and sit up all
night, and rode out just before day to the
top of a neighbOring hill, and witness the
! strange phenomenon. This was duly per-
formed, the friends then all went to bed,
astonished at the degree to which they had
all ruralized themselves.
In New York there has been formed a
Young Mems Early Rising Association; all
the members of which are pledged to be up
at a certain hour. 1t originated with about
half dozen men, who, having kept up this
habit for some years, were surprised at its
beneficial effects, at the success in life of
their associates.
A little watchful experience will render
this not surprising to any thoughtful man.
He who rises at five instead of seven, dai-
ly, adds ten years of the brightest hours
to his life of active thought and excrtion.
Life will be prolonged, health and happi-
ness will be preserved. All other animals
but man sleep through the dark hours and
wake with the light The time of all the
occupations of the day will be moved for
ward or backward by the time of rising.
Not the breakfast alone, but all the meals,
and the hours of retiring will be governed
by the habit Such man will drop to
sleep in his chair at nine o'clock. So much
the better. Consider the effect on the
young man. 1t is at the late hour that
bad company becomes most dangerous
Byron abuses the moon as the light beneath
which thousand times more wickedness is
done than under the sun, and he who at
twenty is never out after ten, will find it
has saved him a fortune, and earned for
him character before he is forty, ofwhich
he may well be proud.
In married life this habit of being early
to bed is worth years of life and happiness.
The children are never Wakeful till they
have got through their first sleep. But af-
ter that. if man has got all his repOse to
get, it viii so often be broken as soon to
break him down. He will become nervous
simply for the want of sleep-sleep that he
should aaye got from nine till midnight,
Gnbi0Sen, but which he cannot secure af-
ter. Intellectually a man can do twice
the work while his mind is calm and clear,
as it is early iu the day, and as it is not
and cannot be later. The very selfd,nial
and self-cOmmand indicated and encouraged
by this habit is not its least value. He

ter will in Others.-PhiladeIphia Ledger.

SWANS FOR THE NEW YORK CEN
TRIAL PARK.

The city of Hamburg has sent, as a pres
ent to the City of New York, twelve swans,
six of each sex, which are to be placed in
the artificial pond in the Central Park. A
man was sent with them to teach the keep
ers of the Park in the method of feeding
them. The y. Y. Post says:
The swans of Hamburg it must be
known, are very independent birds, and
are living entirely on their own income.
Like the pigeons of Venice they are much
petted by the people. but unlike them, they
are not dependent for their support on pop
ular caprice. Indeed, there is very pref
ty legend connected with the swans of Ham,
burg. 1t is this:
A gentleman many years ago, an old
Hamburger. left very curious legacy to
the city. Like Walter of Vogelweid, who
left a bequcst to feed daily on his grave
the birds that had their haunts about his
abbey walls, this old citizen left goodly
estate, the income of which was to be de-
voted to the maintenance of one hundred
and fifty swans, which were to occupy one
of the largest of the bodies of water that
abound in Hamburg The number was
never to be less than one hundred and ff-
ty, and in case it was exceeded, the pro-
visions of the endowment were such as to
allow the city to make honorary presents
to other municipalities o. the surplus birds,
but never, on any account to sell them
Acting under these directions the swans
have been carefully attended to and the
Hamburg authorities have occasionally pre-
sented some of them to European cities,
though this is the first time that an Amer
lean city has been so favored. The author
tiles of Hamburg sent out several months
ago to inquire of the Commissioners ofthe
Central Park whether the gift would be ac-
,epted, and the reply was of course in the ]
affirmative.
In their native city the swans pass their
lime almost incessantly in the water, very
.arely coming to land. They sleep on the
water, catch fish therein, and in the winter
ire driven to one corner, where their con-
slant motion prevents the surface from
freezing. They are perfectly tame, end
will eat cake and apples from the hand, to
he vast delight of Hamburg children and

The few words used go right to the mark.
They let you talk, and guide with their eve

be'answered in word or two, and then
they lance cut sentence, pierce the matter

conversation falls into their mind. as rivers
fall into deep chasms, and are lost from

shot and then they are silent again, as if

LITTLE WILLIE.
BY GERALD MASSEY.

Poor little Willie,
With many pretty wiles;
Worlds of wisdom in his looks,
And quaint, quiet smiles:
Hair of Amber, touched with
Gold of Heaven so brave;
All lying darkly hid
In workhOuse grave.
YOu remember little Willie;
Fair and funny fellow! he
Sprang like a lily
From the dirt of poverty.
Poor little Williel
Not friend was nigh,
When, from the cold world,
He erouehed down to die.
In the day he wandered foodless,
Little Willie cried for bread;
In the night he wandered homeless,
Little Willie cried for bed
Parted at the workhouse door,
Not word we said;
All. so tired was poor Willie,
AND so sweetly sleep the dead.
Twas in the dead of winter
We laid him in the earth;
The world brought in the New Year,
On a tide of mirLh,
But, for lost Willie,
Not tear we crave;
Cold and hunger cannot wake him
In his workhOuse grave.
We thought him beautiful,
Felt it hard to part;
We loved him dutiful;
Down, down, poor heart,
The storms they may beat;
The winter winds may rave;
Little Willie feels not,
In his wOrkhOuse grave

BEAUTY OF BACON'S YOUTH.

He won love and deserved to win love;
for even in the flush of his life he had none
of the vices of young men. If weak ON the
score of dress and pOmp, if he dOated, like
girl, on flowers, ON scents, on gay colOrs,
on the trappings of a horse; he neither
drank, nor gained, nor ran wild and loose
in love. Though armed with the most win
ming ways, and the most glOzing lip in Lon.
don, no husbands peace was ever hurt by
him, no woman's fame was dragged by him
into the mire. He sought no victories, Ike
those of Blount. He brought no shame,
like Raleigh, to the check of one who loved
him more than her own good name. No
Lady Rich, as in Sidney's case, ever
''Blushed when he was named"
His life was pure as that of Milton, or
that of Pascal, though, unlike the poets of
Paradise aud the PeRSeS, he lived in a
court where gallantry was in vogue and
beauty was bought and sold. How then,
with all these friends, with all these claims
on love and help, did he not win his way
to place. He sought it; never man with
more haste and zeal, for his brain beat with
victorious consciousness of his power; he
hungercd to rule mankind, and his blood
had that fiery st.ength which glOws into
white heat at an opposing blast. This
question must be tried Why, while man,
With far lower claims than his. got posts
and honors-solieitorships, judgeships, sec,
embassies did this man come
% pass the ripe age of forty-six without
gaining power or place? Can it have been
because he was servile and corrupt? so,
ogic is q lie, moral theories a sham.

GOING HOME.

"Suffer little children to come unto me; a
forbid them not; for Of such is the kingdom
heaven"
They are going-only going
Jesus called them long ago;
All the wintry time they're passing
Softly as the falling snow.
When the violets in the spring time
Catch the azure in the sky,
They are carried out to slumber
Sweetly where the violets lie.
They are golng-only going
When with summer earth is dressed,
In their cold hands holding roses
Folded on each silent breast;
When the autumn hangs red banners
Out above the harvest sheaves
They are going-ever going
Thick and fast, like falling leaves.
All along the mighty ages,
All adown the solemn time,
They have taken up their homeward
March to that serener cline,
Where the watching, waiting angels
Lead them from the shadow dim
To the brightness of His presence,
Who has called them unto Him.
They are going-only going
Out of pain and into bliss
Out Of sad and sinful weakness
Into perfect holiness.
Snowy brows-no care shall shade them;
Bright eyes-tears shall never dim;
Rosy lips-no time shall fade them;
Jesus called them unto him.
Little hearts forever stainless
Little hands as pure as they
Little feet by angels guided
Never a forbidden wayl
They are going-ever goingi
Leaving many lonely spot;
But It's Jesus who has called them
Suffer and forbid them not.
