Our evenings are cool, and when the days

diers gather around cedar wood camp fire,
and, in their way, indulge in camp gossip.

comparative merits, or, rather, dement's, Of
the various military posts at which they had
seen service.
Which was the coolest post?"
A candidate from Rouse's Point presented
its claims. who was distanced by another
from Detroit, who was in fact ANONYMOUSLY
routed by cavalryman who had wintered
at Pembina.
Which is the hottest post ?" was logic
ally and meteorologically the next question.
Tampa Bay, Key West, and Point Isabel
were all warmly advocated; but the discus
sion was thoroughly-indeed, one might
say hermetically-closed by three chew

CnlAP Ice PITcHER.-The following sim
pie mode of keeping ice water fo1 long
time in common pitcher is worth knowing.
We have tried it: Place between two
sheets Of paper newspapers will answer,
thick brown is better) layer of cotton
batting, about half an inch in thickness;
fasten the ends of paper and batting togeth-
err, forming circle; then sew or paste
crown over one end, making box the shape
of a atovepipe hat, minus the rim. Place
this over an ordinary pitcher filed with
ice matchmaking it deep enough to rest
on the table 50 as to exclude the air-and
the reader will be astonished at the length
of time his ice will keep, and the water re-
main cold after the ice has melted.

servedly favorite, and its energetic man
agement is winning golden opinions from
its appreciative patrons. It's various de-
partments are in an efficient condition.
Some of them have recently been enlarged,
espe cially the musical and commercial, and

Occupation what glorious thing 1t is
for human heart. Those who work hard
seldom yield themselves entirely up to real
or fancied sorrow. When grief sits down,
folds its hands, and mournfully feeds upon
its own tears, weaving the dim shadows
that little exertion might sweep away into
funeral pail, the strong spirit is shorn Of
its might, and sorrow becomes our master.
Whea troubles flow upon you, dark and
heavy, toll not with the waves-wrestle not
VII b the torrent-rather seek by occupation
to divert the dark waters that threaten to
overwhelm you into thousand channels
which the duties of life always present.
Before you dream of it, those waters will
fertilize the present, and give birth to fresh
flowers that may brighten the future flow
ers that viii become pure and holy, in the
sunshine which penetrates to the path OF
duty. Grief after all, is but a selfish feel
ing and most selfish is he who yields him
self to the indulgence Of any passion that
brings no joy to his fellow men.
