GOLD TINES"
Here Il an exquisite poem, which appeared In
he Chicago Journal, and is probably from the pen
4 b. F. TaylOr:l
There'sa boautious song on the slunbrOus cir,
That drifts through The valley OF dreams;
Il comes from the cline where the roses we're,
And = tuneful heart and bright brown hair,
That waves IN the morning beams.
Soft eyes Of azure and eyes Of brown,
And snow-White fOrebeads are there
A glimmsring Cross and a glittering Crown,
A tborny bed snd a couch Of down,
Lost hopes sid leaflets Of prayer.
A breath Of Spring in tho breezy woods,
Sweet watts hrSu the quivering pines
Blue violet eyes beneath green hOOds,
A bubble Of brooklets, q scout Of buds,
Bird Warblers and clamboring vines.
A rosy wreath and 8 dimpled hand
A ring and 3 glittoring vow
Three golden links of broken band,
A tiny track On the snow white sand,
A tear and 8 senseless brow.
There's ~tincture Of grief in the. 5ssusifaI song
That sobs on tho slumbrous cir.
And Loneliness felt in the festive throng,
Sinks down on the soul as it trembles along
From q cline where the'roses we're.
We heard it frst at the dawn Of day,
And it mingled with matin chimes,
But years have d~istanoed the beautifully,
And its melody foweth from far away,
And we call it now Old Times.

A Happy Fourth.

Mr. George w. Childs, proprietor of the
Public Ledger, and gentleman widely
known for his enterprise, wealth, and gen
erosity, gladdened the hearts Of the Phil
adelphia newsboys last Independence Day,
by fine treat He caused bountiful
dinner, comprising roast chicken, green
peas, boiled tongue, mashed potatoes,
Sliced ham, raspberries and cream, vanilla
ice cream, cake, confectionery, ice lemon
ade, ETC., to be served for them, in excel
lent style, in the Ledger press room. the
boys were also treated to some entertain
ing exhibitions of the skill of Signor Blitz,
and kindly words and good counsel were
offered by others. Each boy received also
box of bon-bons to take home, and a
new palm-leaf hat. On the bill of fare
were neatly printed the following words
for Young America to remember: lib
erty is the right to do whatever you wish
without interfering with the rights of
others-Save your money, and you will
find it one of the most useful friends
Never give trouble to your mother or
father-Take care of your pennies, and
they will grow to be dollars-Intemper-
ance is the cause of nearly all the trouble
in this world; beware Of strong drink
The poorest boy, if he be industrious,
honest, and saving, may reach the highest
honor in the land-Never be cruel to a
dumb animal; remember that it has no
power to tell how much it suffers-Hon-
esty is always the best policy.

Swinging Round the Circle.

There are fifty ways of alleviating the agonies
of dyspepsia for the moment; but there is only
one way to CURE it. After 6 swinging round the
circle y of temporary paliatives the patient finds
that the disease, so far from being subdued, has
actually gathered strength, while he has been par
leying with its symptoms,
The only way to getrid of the demon is to endow
the stomach with sufficient strength to cdSt it out
and keep it out. Impart permanent energy to the
digestive organs with HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS, and the object is accomplished This
powerful vegetable remedy is not mere stimu-
liant. 1t does not brace up the gastric machinery
for an hour or two, leaving it, when the tempo
rary excitement has passed off, in worse state
than before. Such is the effect of the ordinary
alcoholic nostrums. They keep the stomach in a
perpetual see-saw between unnatural activity
and utter relaxation Not so the BITTERS.
Medicated with the finest tonic, Alternative and
ambitious extracts, they permanently reinforce
and continuously regulate the assimilating
organs. Such is the experience of tens of thou
sands. AT this facilitating season of the year,
when the solvent principle Ct the gastric juice is
weakened by constant drain of the animal
fluids through the pores, HOSTETTER'S BIT
TIERS is an article of prime necessity for the
weak To neglect the use of tonic and altera-
tive, so wonderfully eficacious and entirely
harmless, is simply to forego the blessings of
health and vigor, and voluntarily accept feeble
ness and discomfort in their stead.

A BUFFALO policeman kept his pistol

SUGAR candy, it is estimated, is con-

per day; Philadelphia, $4,000; Chicago,
$4,000; St. Louis 10000; Cincinnati, 10,s

IT is said to be fact that thief in
Nashville had trained rat to steal paper,
and the animal was detected in carrying a

theft, saw the thief run of, and captured
the rat on the street, but before he was de-
tected he had carried off $3.50 from the
window.
AN explosion of nitro glycerine manu-

lately occurred, by which fourteen persons
lost their lives, and the laboratory with its

windows were broken, and within circle
of three miles the violent connection of the
air was distinctly felt.
HARoUN AL RAsCHID was wont to act

The Empty Cradle.

THERE is whole volume of poetry in
the following little sketch, which we
find in late number of Miss BARRIERS
weekly:
We met John on the stairs. He was car
rying an old cradle, to be slowed away
among what he termed "plunder" in the
lumber room. One rocker was gone, and
the wicker work of the sides broken; it
was an old willowy affair, but we could
not refrain from casting sad look into its
empty depths.
"Gone!' we said dreamily, "All gonew
What golden heads were once pillowed
here, heads on which the curls grew moist
in slumber, and the cheeks and lips flushed
to the hue of rose leaves. When sleep
broke, the silken fringed lids opened heav
lily from the slumberous eyes; smiles
fitted like sunbeams over the face; the
white fist was thrust into the mouth, and
when mamma lifted the muslin and peeped
to see if baby was sleeping, cooling and
growing were heard!
The little feet began to kick, out Of pure
delight and kicked on until both of the
Tiny red shoes were landed at the foot of
the cradle. Where are those hands now
Some that were embrowned by vigorous
manhood are sleeping on battle-felds, some
are bleached with time and cares; and
they have grown sore and weary on the
rough paths of life.
Perhaps some little one, once tenderly
rocked here, is sleeping in the coffin. Over
it grows heartsease, and vigorous box and
white candy-tuft, and the starry jasmine.
The bluebird futters its bright wings
through the willow bough, and the cool
wind whispers to the green leaves and
grass blades on the grave. What of?
Perhaps Of its immortality. Sleep on,
little dreamless one. "Of such is the
KINGDOM of Heaven"

How to Keep Cool.

IT is something to know how to keep
cool during the dog days, for though we
all use ice with lavish generosity, keep our
butter in a tolerably cool condition, ETC.,
neither fans nor ice will so keep the meat
which we individually carry on our bones
instead of the refrigerator In these hot
days a cool apartment, for instance, is a
real luxury, and yet it is a luxury to be
had far oftener than most people deem
possible. The secret consists, though not
50 much in letting in cool air, for naturally
all do that whenever they have the chance,
but in keeping out hot air. If the air out
side room or house be cooler than the
air inside, let it in by all means; but if it
be hotter, carefully kept it out. A stair
case window left open during the night
will often cool the passages of a house, and
the rooms, too, if their doors be not shut
but it must be closed at eight OF nine
o'clock in the morning, or, if on the sunny
side, at four or five o'clock, and the blinds
drawn down.
Mr.. John Atf1eld, Professor of Practical
Chemistry to the London Pharmaceutical
Society, says on the subject
"The mistake people generally make is
to throw open their windows at all hours
of the day, no matter whether the atmo-
sphere outside be cool or scorching Let
us have some air, they say, and in comes
the treacherous breeze-for even hot air
Is PLEASANT while 1t is gently blowing,

taking away perspiration and thereby
cooling the skin /; but the apartment is
made warmer instead of cooler, and as
soon as they move out of the draft they
find their room to be more uncomfortable
than before. Let in cool air, keep out hot;
that is the only formula to insure tie mini
mum of discomfort. Sitting may
generally be kept cool during the whole
day if the doors be only opened for in
gress and egress, and the windows be kept
closed and shielded from direct sunshine
by blind. If persons do not object to
sit in direct draft of air, windows and
doors may be opened, breeze being more
refreshing, even though several degrees
warmer than still air; but under nearly
all other circumstances rooms should be
kept closed as much as possible till after
shutdown, or till the air outside is cooler
than that inside. Let in cool air, keep out

Stealing Sermons.

THE rector and curate of an English
parish had been absent for some time; but
they were efficiently represented while
they were away They returned to re-
sumo duty on the same day. The curate
took the morning service, while the rector
officiated for friend in a neighboring
parish; but the rector was present in the
evening to preach after the curate had
read prayers The sermon in the morn
ing was so good that the members of the
congregation congratulated themselves on
the effects the change of air had had on
the preachers style and powers generally.
When the rector assembled the pulpit in
the evening they hoped that .judicious
holiday-time had had the same effect upon
him, and they felt that they would be the
better able to judge when they heard him
give out the same text which had formed
the subject of the curate's illustration in
the forenoon. Very soon, however, they
found that it was not only the same text,
but the same sermon; and then the face
of the congregation assumed variety of
expression that might have defied Herr
Schultz himself to represent. There was
but one placid countenance in the whole
church, and that was the preachers, who
went on quite unconscious OF the days
history and Its consequences. Ihere was
but one face besides that did not bear upon
it an expression of fun, or comic surprise,
a laughable perplexity and puzzlement,
and that was the curates. He, good man
looked the more concerned and abashed as
he tried to look otherwise-the more he
strove to assume guise of indifference the
more intensity Mortified he grew. In short,
the two worthy personages had, unknown
to each other, purchased dozen or SO OF
Autographed manuscript sermons, and
they had had the ill luck, without com
munication with each other, to select the
same sermon wherewith to inaugurate
their return to the old pasture. The peo-
Pile, however, were good-natured people,
the two clergymen were worthy men, and
beyond harmless joke or two no harm
came of this little misadyenture.-Dr.
D0ne's Saints and Sinners.

curb of sufficient size to enable the digger
| to use a shovel and pick while at work on
the inside. the we'll can be sunk at pleasure
| to any desired depth, as fast as the water
falls. without mourning the labor and ex-
| pense of building3 a wall of stone or of
bricks to prevent the earth caving in
| when the digger stops his work, and
| removing it when the well is to be sunk
deeper.
The best season of the year to reach the
veins of never-failing water is usually in
September or October. If water fails,
and there is a curb in the well, digger
can sink the well deeper at any time,
until the water will allow him to GO no
deeper. Consequently there is no danger
to be apprehended from the caving in of
the soft earth.
The curb can be made at small expense
by any one who can use saw, planes and
a drawing knife with ordinary skill. In
the first place make two wooden rings out
of plank, about one and a half inches thick.
The rings should be like the rim of
wagon-wheel, without spokes. When
finished they should be not less than four
feet in diameter across the inside. Each
rim should be four inches wide by three
inches in thickness, having the segments
nailed or bolted together. Now nail
slaves to the outsides of the rims, so as to
make rude drum. The slaves may be
three or four feet long, and each stave one
and quarter inches thick by four inches
wide Sink hole four or more feet deep
and put the curb into it. 1t will be under
stood that one wooden ring is near the
bottom and the other on the top of the curb
on the inside of the slaves Now lay a wall
of bricks four inches thick on the inside
Of the curb, letting them rest on the lower
wooden rim. AS fast as the well is sunk
the curb, with the wall of brick on the in
side, settles, and the workmen continue
to lay on more bricks at the surface of the
ground as fast as the curb settles. The
bricks are not laid in mortar, except the
last few courses near the surface of the
ground, when the digging is fnished.-N.

The Little Ones.

BE patient with the little ones. Let
neither slow understanding nor occasional
pertness offend you, or provoke the sharp
reproof Remember the world is new to
them, and they have no sleight to grasp
with unripened intellects the mass of facts
and truths that crowd upon their atten-
ton. You are grown to maturity and
strength through years Of experience, and
it ill becomes you to fret at the little child
that fails to keep pace with your thought
Teach him patiently, as God teaches you,
cline upon line, precept upon precept;
here little and there little" Cheer
him in this conflict of mind; in after years
his ripe, rich thought shall rise up and
call you blessed.
Bide patiently the endless questionings
of your children. Do not roughly crush
the springing spirit of free inquiry, with
an impatient word or frown, nor attempt
on the contrary, a long and in
structive reply to every slight and cas-
ual question. Seek rather to deepen
their curiosity. Convert, if possible, the
careless question into profound and earn
est inquiry and aim rather to direct and aid
than to answer the inquiry. Let our reply
send the questioner forth, not SO much,
proud of what he has learned, as anxious
W hHoW nloic Hdppy you, IL III giving
your child the molecule Of truth he asks
| for, you can whet his curiosity with
glimpse of the mountain of truth lying
beyond; so wilt thou send forth philo-
sopher, and not a silly pedant into the
world.
Bear patiently the childish humors of
those little ones. They are but the UNTIL
tored pleadings of the young spirit for
care and cultivation. Irritated into
strength, and hardened into habits, they
| will haunt the whole of life like fiends of
despair, and make thy little ones curse the
day they were born; but corrected kindly
and patiently, they become the elements
of happiness and usefulness. Passions are
but fires, that may either scorch us with
their uncontrolled fury, or may yield us a
genial and needful warmth
Bless your little ones with patient care

consecrate the glory and grace of their

hearts the seeds of perennial blessed
ness; its ripened fruit will afford you a

The fremont House, Chicago.

RECENT IMPRovEMENTs-A MODEL HOTEL.
Ever since about the first of last January, Mr..
John b. Drake, sole proprietor Of the fremont
House, has been having the house reftted in the
latest style, and has been adding all the modern
hotel improvements. 1t has been done so quietly
that but few knew of it, and yet the whole cost of
the improvements exceeds $4,000. The work is
now entirely completed, and the fremont House
lacks nothing to make it perfect, and to maintain
the reputation 1t has had far and near, for many
years
The exterior of the house has been reprinted
and so, too, the interior, where needed Many OF
the private parlors and all of the public rooms,
have been beautifully and appropriately frescoed
The frescoing in the gentlemens writing room
is especially noticeable; fishes, fowls and queer
animals being strangely and charmiDgly mingled.
The halls have been newly-carpetcd with Wilton
and Brussels; while the parlors and many of the
private rooms have also been newly-covered. The
cost OF the carpets alone is said TO exceed go
The ladies' parlors, perhaps the most elegant suite
Ofrooms in the country were furnished at outlay
of $4,000. The furniture in these parlors is of
the Louis XIV. style, being of black-walnut,
ebony and gold, with mirrors and cornices to
match The carvings are very elaborate; the
drapery of the most costly French tapestry and the
carpets are Administer.
The halls and the reading and sitting rooms
have been newly laid with marble flooring. Hot
and cold water has been introduced into about
seventy-ive more sleeping rooms, and many more
closets and baths have been added. One of At
woods vertical railway elevators, they being the
best in use, costing 81, 900, has been added,
and will be found to be great convenience.
Now that the exterior and interior of the Ire
mont House are on par with the eating depart
ment, and with the attention paid to all who go
seconded as he is by Mr.. Felt, formerly of the
Lindell House, st. Louis, and by Mr. Turner. the
fremont cannot fail to prosper in every way and
the generous outlay OF the proprietor viii be fully
returned to him. II combines the comforts Of
home with all the luXuries of the present day
