At a certain evening party, a naughty
young beauty turned to a student who
stood near her, and said: "Cousin John,
understand your eccentric friend L. is
here. Do bring him here and introduce
him to me-"
The student went in search of his friend
and found him lounging on sofa. "Come
L." said he, "my beautiful cousin
Catharine wishes to be introduced to you"
"WelI, trot her out, john" drawled
l., with an affected yawn.
John returned to his cousin and advised
her to defer the introduction to a more IA
vorable time, repeating the answer he had
received. The beauty bit her lip; but the
next moment said: "Well, never fear,
shall insist on being introduced"
After some delay, L. was led up, and
the ceremony of introduction was per-
formed. Agreeably surprised by the beauty
and commanding appearance of Catharine,
L. made profound bow; but instead
of returning it, she stepped backward and
raising her glass, surveyed him deliber-
ateIy from head TO foot then waving her
hand toward him, drawled out: "Trot him
of, Johnl trOt him of! that is enough!"

Poetry.
THOUGH POOR, TREAT HIM We'll
FOR HIS MOTHEF3sS SAKM

IFOr the News.
THOUGH POOR, TREAT HIM WELL
FOR HIS MOTRER'S SAKE.
OF a roughly dressed youth en- thinking,
With manners not polished nor free;
In little collection of people
None seemed so ungainly as he.
His face, though It was plain, yet was honest;
Though poor, he was trying to rise;
And by dint Of his own earnest effort
He hoped to at last gain his prize.
While thinking about him, and seeing
That others we're needing him not,
Sad feelings welled up'in my being,
And tears seemed to rise with the thought.
thought that though others might shun him,
Though Others might deem him worth,
Yet one being how earnestly watched him,
And loved him Ger aught on the earth,
Yes, nOlher's large heart e'er embraced him,
A mother stil wished him success,
A mother, with tears and entreaty,
on asked Him in Heaven to bless.
And while through the world he is striving,
His Journey Of life scarce begun,
Be assured that the love Of his mother
win follow the life Of her son.
Now shall We, by a word or an action,
Cause sorrow to burden his neartl
Shall we add to the cares Of his pathway,
wound from the scorner's fell dart2
Oh forbid, and rather assist him;
Ee'er forget be is some mothers boy;
And the sorrow or veal that attends him
Either saddens, or bears her'a joy.
Then let Us to all act with kindness;
Give to all the respect that is due:
All are brothers and sisters, whose mothers
Fer wish them success as yours you.
Speak gently, act kindly to all mem
To the rich all are courteous, be sure;
But let us still follow His teaching,
who told rs, Remember the poor"

Moisture of the Air.

Every one has doubtless observed
that on putting cold spring or ice wa
ter into a pitcher or other vessel in a
hot day, drops of water will be form
ed on the outside of the vessel; the
pitcher is said to sweat. This mOis-
ture comes entirely from the air. The
air being warm, carries a heavy
weight Of water, and in coming in
contact with cooler substance, its
capacity to hold moisture is lessened;
and therefore water is deposited. This
is a wise provision of nature, as if cold
air carried as much moisture as warm
air, it would freeze every living ami
NAL to death in our cOldest weather.
Again, if warm air was as dry as cold
air, we would all perish these hot
days. These things are worth our at
tentiOn, just to see the wisdom, and
the goodness of the Crea-
tor.

LOOKING UPwARD.-During DR.. Pay
sons last illness, a friend, coming into his
room, remarked familiarity, "Well, I am
sorry to see you lying here on your back" {"
"Doyou not know what God puts US on
our backs for?" said DR.. Payson, smiling.
"No," was the answer.
"In order that we may look upward. :"
His friend said to him, 81 did not come
to condOle, but to rejoice with you; for it
seems to me that this is no time for
mourning"
"Well 1 am glad to hear that" was the
reply; "for it is not often that I am ad-
dressed in such a way. The fact is, l
never had less need of coincidence, and vet
everybody persists in offering it; whereas,
when was prosperous and we'll, and a
successful preacher, and really needed
coincidence, they hattered and congatuIa-

How In Keep Ice Wafer.

The following method of keeping
ice water a long time in a common
pitcher is worth knowing: Place be-
tween two sheets of paper newspaper
will answer, thick brown is better,) a
layer Of cotton batting about half an
inch in thickness, fasten the ends OF
paper and batting together, forming a
circle, then sew or paste a crown over
one end, making a box the shape of a
stOve-pipe hat, minus the rim. Place
this over an ordinary pitcher filed
with ice water, making it deep enough
to rest on the the table so as to ex-
clude the air, and the reader will be
astOnished at the time his ice will
keep and the water remain cold after
the ice is melted.

The Jews, the world over, are no
ted for their kindness to their own
people. In London they number
about fifty-five thousand, the majority
of whom are foreigners, and receive
only a little aid to help them on their
way to other countries. It is against
Jewish principles to allow any Oftheir
poor TO come upon the public. All
the sick in poverty are cared for, and
provision is made for widows and or
phans. Efficient societies, literally
provided with funds, supply the poor
with food, help the old people as they
need, and bury the dead. Some of
the free hospitals in London have
Jewish wards, but all the expenses of
those wards are paid for from the
treasury of Jewish organizations. If
any able bodied persons are out Ofem-
plOyment, and need help, they re-
ceive no gratuity, but are accOmmO-
dated with a temporary loan, and the
cases are said to be rare in which these
debts are not fully repaid.

The Land We Love gives a model
letter from a young lady whose sweet
heart was in the 9Th South Carolina

The Josh RiIIings Paners.

Dry goods are wOrshiPped now in this
world more than the Lord is.
COunseling with fear is the way towards
are made; cOunseling with hope is the
way heroes are made; eOunseling with
faith is the way Christians are made.
Pleasure is like Enthusiastically ends
with a sting.
The most dangerous characters IN the
world are those who live in the suburbs Of
Virtue-they are rotten ice.
Laziness is a good deal like money-the
more a man has OF it the more he seems to
want.
There is no such thing as inheriting vir-
tue, money and titles and fever sores can
be inherited.
Life is like a mOuntain-after climbing
up one side and sliding down the other,
put up the sled.
When man proves literary failure, he
generally sets up for a critic, and, like the
fox in the fable, who had lost his brush in
a trap, can't see nice long tail without
hankering to bob it.

STAMPS ON NoTEs AND MORTGAGES.
Commissioner Delano has just decid-
ed "That a written extension Of the
payment of a mortgage requires tho
same stamp as the original document"
Also, in relation to promissOry notes,
as follows: ga promissory note con-
tanning merely power to confess judg-
ment should be stamped at the usual
rate of notes, but if, as is often the
case, it contains one or more stipula-
tions in addition, such as without hav-
ing the benefit Of the exemption laws,
an agreement stamp is also required.
Some contain contracts of the nature
of mortgage, which should be stamp
ed as such"

ReceiDt forn Garden Fertillzer.

The following. simple but good garden
compound, has been used with the best
results, bringing into requisiJiOn material
that in many instances would otherwise
be wasted, (chip dirt and refuse salt,) no
insignificant element in the formation of
vegetable matter: Twelve bushels of ash
es; one busheI Of refuse salt, one bushel Of
plaster; twelve bushels of hen manure;
thirty bushels Of chip dirt (Or muck.) Heap
your hen manure in pile and dampen it
with brine from your refuse salt until it
heats. Then mix in the other ingredients.
The fermentation pulverizes the mass and
kills the grubs so apt TO be found in chip
ey.'' This compound is as valuable as

Not many years since, in West Ply
mouth, it used to be the custom for the
school master to aboard round" among the
families of his pupils 50 as to save expense.
Sometimes, of course, the days did not
come out quite even-there would be eight
days and half at one place, and nine at
another. One man, who was notorious
for his meanness, just before the schools
master began his dinner, said to him, 'sMF.

just about half way through this dinner.

San Francisco is rapidly extending
beyond its older limits, and a vast
tract of submerged lands, valuable for
water frontage, has just been sold at
auction. These lands are in the
neighborhood of Hunters Point and
Mission Cove. A new suburb, known
as South San Francisco, is growing
up in the immediate neighborhood.
These lots are all under watcr-some
of them daily crossed by steamers;
and before they are available for any
practical building purposes, q vast ex-
pense will be incurred.

It used to be customary and is for
that matter, customary yet, to put the
glasses into cold water, and gradually
heat them up to near boiling point,
when the heated fruit is put in and
closed up. But with all my greatest
care, glasses often broke. Now 1 get
wet towel, double it four or five
times, and set the jar on this while
pouring in the warmed fruit. adopt
ell this plan all the last season, and
did not have one glass to crack. 1
saw the hint in some newspaper, but
cannot recOllect where. It seemed so
unreasonable to cool them instead of
warming them, that was afraid at
first to try it, and very reluctantly ex-

succeeded well, 1 did all that way
last summer, and shall continue to do
them this, in the same way.

impressing upon the young man that
his first object in life should be to at
tain the exalted position of alderman
or street inspector, the truth should be
told, viz: That office-holding does
not bay in any sense of the word, and
that it is a sacrifice of ones time,
comfort and prOspects,-it would not
be, as now, that there are forty ap-
plicants for every Insignificant place;
and there would be fewer professional
politicians, who having once held Of
fee, can do nothing else. Who can
doubt that the country would be the
better for the change? - [ChicagO

Miscellaneous.
Centenary of the Steam-EngiDe.

Centenary of the Steam-Engine.
A writer in Once a Week says: ''I sup
pose the engineers of Britain are not for
getting that this is the centenary of the
birth of Watts condensing steam-engine.
Before 1869 his invention lay in an en-
bryotic state in his model room but in
April of that year patent was granted for
it, and the world first knew of the tender
child which brought poverty to its rearers,
but which has grown to wealthy giant
in these later times, and coined and scat
tered millions over the world. If Watt
and his masterpiece deserve the hOnors
that have been poured upon them, then
have they a right to some sort of commem-
orative recognition during this, the hum
dredth year of the engines life, and one
naturally looks to the profession to take
the initiative. We are glad of an excuse
for crOwning the bust of poet or for eele-
brating the birth of musician; let us not
be backward in hOnOring the memory and
the works of him who, as Brougham mod
estly inscribed on Chantrey's statue, en-
larged the resources of his country, in
creased the power of man, and rose to an
eminent place among the real benefactors
of the world. This year, too, is the fiftieth
since the death of Watt. 1t is also the CEN
tenary of the birth of his son, James Watt
the younger, and of many great man be-
sides. Humboldt, Cuvier, the first Brunei,
Wellington, Marshals SOult and Ney, and
Sir Thomas Lawrence were all born in
1863. Arkwright's spinningjenny patent
bears the same date. Truly, as a COM
memorative year, 1869 is remarkable"

THE SWORD OF BUNKER HILL.

He lay upon his dying bed,
His eye was growing dim,
When with feeble voice he called
His weeping son to him.
"Weep not, my boy the veteran said,
81 bow to Heavens high will,
But quickly from your antlers bring
The Sword of Bunker Hill.
The Sword was brought, the soldiers eye
Lit with q sudden fame,
And as he grasp'd the ancient blade,
he murmur'd warren's name,
Then said, "My boy, leave you gold,
But what is richer still,
I leave yOu-mark me, mark me now
The Sword of Bunker Hill.
Twas on that dread, immortal day,
I dared the Britou's band,
A Captain raised this blade on me,
I tore it from bis hand
And while the glorious battle ragged,
It lighten'd Freedoms will,
For, boy, the God Of Freedom bIess'd
The Sword of Bunker Hill.
Oh keep the sword, his accents broke
smile, and he was dead;
But his wrinkled hand still grasped the blsd,
Upon that dying bed.
The son remains, the sword remains,
Its glory growing still,
Aud twenty millions bless the sire
And Sword Of Bunker Hill.
