LAYING UP TREASURES IN HEAVEN
We witnessed practical illustration of
this rcriptural injunction a few morn
ings since, as we were passing down the
street. A little boy who had been pre-.
sented with one of those red gas bal
looms, by some mishap lost his hold up-
on it. and it took its upward fight The
little brother, together with other com.
panions, stood and watched it until it
passed out of sight; then turning to his
little play-fellows. with his face beaming
with hope, he said: g Never mind, 1 can
get it again when I go to Heaven" May
the good angels preserve it for him
We would to God the whole world had
this child's faith in Immortality, and q
reasonable hope that they may find soyee
treasure in Heaven which they havs
sent up while on rth-Racine Journal.

Success AND IT'S SECRET France, we
are informed, produces fifty per cent.
and England, one hundred per cent /,
more per acre from their soils than the
farmers Of this country. Why is this
The day was, and has not long since
passed, when English farmers were in
danger of starvation upon soils that
now produce not only grain enough for
all England's people, but a little to spare
for other nations. Why is it? How
has this wonderful change been wrought
Simply by drainage, heavy mannring
and careful cultivation. American far
mers appear to think that heavy manur-
ing will damage the soil, and unfit it for
yielding large crops. Away with such
folly, it has had its day; let us have the
more sensible and economical plan Of
feeding the land abundantly adopted.
and the day will come when we too shall
average thirty FIVE bushels of wheat to
the acre, instead of fifteen.

The great secrets of navigation are
contained in a small compass.
When navigators desire to know the
depth of the water they generally drop
line for information, and it has usually
led in the end to the obtaining the
sought for knowledge.
Ships so to divers parts Of the earth,
especially when they visit the pearl re
gions.
Vessels in q high wind are addicted
to low gambolling, and do nothing but
turn up coppers, and pitch and toss,
while the gale lasts.
Sailors are very lawless persons, tax
ing anything they need; if fact, they
sometimes take the sun and moon.
Ships that directly oppose the author
ity Of the winds by endeavoring to fly
in their teeth are put in irons immedi
ately, and, becoming naturally ill lhumor
ed under such circumstances, have a
very stern way about them.
Those who go down to sea in ships
are not very apt to turn up again.
Ships are not usually provided with
gardens, although they have many small
yards.
Steamers are likely to predominant
over other descriptions of vessels, as
they are much more prolific, and have a
| greater number Of berths. They sci.
dom fall, although they make great
many trips.
| Merchantmen are generally success
ful in making sail;
Clipper built vessels are dissipated in
| their habits, their masts being especially
| rakish.
The most Improbable consignment
that can be made is to ship a sea.
Vessels hsf1ed by head winds become
very much enraged, and go TO beating
Ships have great number of hands
and knees; the masts all have feet and
| steps, tue bows have figures and cat
heads; the ship itself has fore foot,
but no hind one; and dead eyes, so
called because the see cannot come thro'
them.
One locomotive is sufficient loading
for vessel, as it always makes cargo.
The most polite parts of the ship are
the bows and the gallant yards.
Ships suffer but little from fair winds,
but during head winds they wear very
much.
Captains are Robinson Crusonic in
their reckonings, keeping the accounts
of the voyage recorded on logs. Ga the
return trip backlog is used. -
Most vessels are sociable in their man
ners, and have companion way about
them.

IF YOU WANT A KISS TAKE 1T.

There's q jolly Saxon proverb,
That is pretty much Ike this,
That man is half in heaven
When he has woman 8 kiss;
But there's danger in delaying
And the sweetness may forsake it;
So tell you. bashfui lover,
r If you want kiss, why take it.
Never let another fellow ecu
Steal a march on YOU in this;
= Never let q laughing maiden
See you spelling for kiss
There's royal way to kissing,
And the jolly ones who make it
Have a motto that is winning
If you want a kiss, why take It.
Any fool may face a cannon ff,xs
Anybody wear crown, Bef
But man must win a woman .
81 If kedhave her for bis own;
Would you have the golden apple,
You must find the tree and shake it,
If the thing is worth the having.
And you want a kiss, why take it.
Who would burn upon a desert,
With forest smiling by I?
Who would give his sunny summer
For bleak and winter skyT
Ohi tell you there is magic; @
And you cannot, cannot break it;
For the sweetest part of loving
Is to want kiss, and take it.

And strike vigorous blow,
In life's great field Of varied toll
Always hoe out your row.

Universal Suffrage South.

Universal suffrage - exercised with
independence and intelligence. may be
regarded as an indispensable element and
condition Of republican government.
But experience shows that it may also be
made a most powerful and fatal weapon,
in the hands Of unscrupulous power, to
crush out all real liberty and bolster up
an arbitrary and irresponsible tyranny.
The Emperor of France has founded his
throne upon universal suffrage. There
is no country in the world where the
suffrage ia 80 absolutely free and univer-
sal as in France; and there is no govern
ment in the world more arbitrary than
that which il has established. TIE rea-
son is that the suffrage Of the people Of
France, instead Of being independent,
is simply the tool which the CEN
trail authority uses to accomplish
its own purposes. The great mass
