he had fortune to keep up appear

criminals and paupers have come to

industrious. Boy, take that pipe out

following idea of eternity:-"What we
call eternity may be but an endless Sc
ries of those transitions which men call
deaths; abandonments of home after

heights. Age after age the spirit, that
glorious nomad, may shift its tent, fated
not to rest in the dull Elysium of the

should the soul ever repose? Labor is

The NIGHT LAMP.-There are many
families who use night lamps, and
through inability to provide gas, have
been in the habit of burning kerosene
oil, a very good thing when properly
used. A few words on the subject OF
its uses at night may prove interesting
to the general reader. When the light
of the kerosene lamp is turned down
low the combustion is not perfect, and
the atmosphere of the room becomes
vitiated by the unconsumed oil vapors,
by the gas produced by combustion,
and also legitimate particles OF smoke
and SCOT thrown off, to be taken into
the lungs of the occupants. Air thus
poisoned is deadly in its effects, and
the wonder is that people are not i'm
mediately and fatally injured by breath
ing it. Its consequences are unac-
countable and mysterious headaches,
irritation of the throat and lungs, diz-
illness and nausea.

philosophy is thus stated: The salt in

absorbs moisture from the atmosphere

coming damp, falls down in the fire.

discovery, and is used with success in

1t Is the time when birds are calling
Each to his mate his sweetheart mate,
When airs are sweet with blossoms falling,
And spring is waxing warm and late;
And care is grown heavy thrasling
That keeps me from my fair estate.
Form the old familiar places
Doth Nature list, for me doth list
And in the woods untroslden spaces
Are pathways where my feet are missed,
And little starry flower faces
That watch for me to keep tryst.
Sweet valleys that the sky stoops over,
Sotenderly, so tenderiy,
And hiH-sides where the whitening clover
Already tempts the rowing bee,
Ny heart Is still your faithful lover
Remembering charms none else VIII see.

Blackbird and jay, sparrow and wren,
Each year to greet the dear old mother
Come all the children home again;
She calls to me- 81 miss no other,
All, why so long in haunts Of menf"
She knows my heart could never wrong her,

Aside the heavy weight throw.

His Style.

The Erie Dispatch tells this of a
young son Of Erie who imbibes:
ga young fellow, respectfully con-
nected and well known here, used to
get drunk very frequently. Shortly
before Browns hotel was closed, he
was, one day, as usual, under the in
huence of benzine, and stumbled at the
head of the stairs leading from the
landing to the front door. Down he
came, heels over head, humping from
step to step, until he was landed in a
rather promiscuous looking heap. A
stranger who was just entering the ho-
tel, thinking the fellow had sustained
serious, if not mortal injury, ran to
pick him up, but the drunken man
majestically waved him off. staggering
to his feet, and in response to the prof
fered assistance, roared out:
"Now you jes lem me lone. Want
no slob' rim round me. l allus come
down stairs that way"

She SAYS the tea never fails. Some

doses, but unusually it takes two three

nothing like senna tea. 4

DISCIPLINE AT BULL RUN.-General
Slocum, in his lecture. tells the follow
ing story of the battle of Bull Rum
The influence of our officers over their
men and the state of our discipline, is
best illustrated by an incident which
occurred on the field in the heat of the
battle. An officer, who has since be-
come very prominent and well known
throughout the country, was then IN
command of brigade on the right OF
our line. While riding over the field,
he discovered soldier concealed in a
hole in the ground, which was ofJust
sufficient dimensions to afford him shell
ter. The General rode up to him, in-
quired as to his regiment, and ordered
him to Join it at once. The man, look
ing him full in the face, placed his
thumb upon his nose and replied: "No
you don't, old fellow; you want this
hole yourself"

while at the Vineyard sound, that hot
