POetTy.
The Old Kitchen.

Far back in musings my thoughts have been cast
70 the spot where the hours of my childhood
were passed;
l loved all the rooms to the pantry and hall,
But that blessed old kitchen was dearest of all,
Its chairs and its table none brighter could be /;
For all its surroundings were sacred to me-
70 the nail in the ceiling, the latch on the door
And l loved every crack of that old kitchen
- floor.
remember thefre-place, with mouth high and
wide,
The old fashioned oven that stood by its side,
Outof which, each Thanksgiving. came puddings
and pies,
That fairly bewildered and dazzed our eyes;
And there, ,gtoo 1T Nicholas syly and still
came down every Christmas our stockings to fill,
But the dearest of memories Eve laid up in store
Is the mother that trod that old kitchen floor.
Day in and day out from morning till night,
Her footsteps were busy, her heart always light
For 1t seemed to her then that she knew not q
care
The smile was SO gentle her face used to wear,
remember with pleasure what JOY filed our
eyes
When She told US the stories that children so
prize,
They were new every night though we'd heard
From her lips, at the wheel on the old kitchen
floor
Tonight those old visions come back at my will,
But the wheel and its music forever are STILL
The band is moth-eaten, the wheel laid away,
And the fingers that turned it lie mouldering in
clay,
The hearth-stone SO sacred is just as twas then,
And the voices of children ring out again,
The sun through the window shines in as of yore,
But 1t sees stranger feet on the old kitchen floor.

A Boy Again.

A company of gentlemen in Rene, were, not
long since, Willing an evening away by singing
songs and relating anecdotes, when one asked
for the song of Would I were boy again, -
at which old Pi Ute," John K. Lovejoy,) J
who was present, broke out as follows:
"A boy agalnP' Who would be boy again
IT he could? to have measles, mumps and Itch.
to get licked by bigger boys and scoided by old,
er brothers, to stub your toes to have the belly
ache from swallowing cherry stones, to get lousy
helping Irish Mike do his sums, to have chap
ped hands and frozen toes, to slip up on the
Ice, to 90 chores, to get your ears boxed, to get
Whaled by thick-headed school-master, to be
made to stand up as the ''dunce" for the sport
OF the school, to have visitors to come to school
and tell you how miserably weak and stupid
you were when you were born, and to ask you
what would have become of you at that inter-
estlng time In life if your parents had not been
SO patient with and so kind to you to eat at
the second table when company comes, to set
out cabbage plants because you are little, and
consequently it wouldn't make your back ache
so much, to be made go to school when you
don't want to, get spelled down in school, to
lose your marbles, to have your sled broken, to
get hit in the eye with frozen apples and soggy
snow balls, to cut your finger, lose your knife,
to have a hole in the rear of your only pair of
pants when your pretty cousin from the city
comes to see you, to be called coward if you
don fight at school, to be whaled at home if
you do fight at school, to be struck after lit
tie girl and dare not tell her, to have boy too
big for you to lick tell you that your sweet
heart squints, to have your sweetheart cut you
dead and affiliate with that boy John Smith
whom you hate particularly because he set up
your nose the week before, to be made to go to
bed when you know you amt bit sleepy, to
have no ire-crackers on the Fourth of July, no
skates on Christmas, to want piece of bread
and butter with honey and get your ears pulled,
to be kept from the circus when it comes to
town and when all other boys go, to get pound
ed for stealing roasting ears, get run by bull
dogs for trying to nip watermelons, to have the
catechism and stone bruises, to be
called up to kiss all the old women that visit
your mother, to be scolded because you like
Maggie Love better than your own dear sister,
to be told of what scorching time little boys
will have who tell lies, and are not like George
W ashington, to catch your big brother kissing
the pretty school ma am on the sly, and wish
you was big so you could kiss her, too, and
darn being boy again. -Meao Or

The Follies of American Women

In pastoral letter Bishop Coke, of New
York, says:
''W hen | see the tawdry fashions, the costly
vulgarity and the wicked extravaganza of the
times, feel sure that thousands of American
women are strangers to the laws of refinement
simplicity In manners and attire.
when | see that thousands of American
women read the most shameful romances and
the most degrading newspapers, frequent the
vllest dramatic entertainments and join in dances
too shocking to be named among Christians, I
feel that Christian matrons are becoming too
few, and that civilized heathenism is returning
to the fields we have wrested from the Indians
when L read daily, of the most ungodly
divorces and OF crime against social purity and
against human life itself, which are too gross to
be mentioned more particularly, feel that too
many OF our countrywomen are without God In
the world, and that radical reforms are neses-
sary In the system OF education on which the
young women of America are dependent for
their training.
when | see thousands of households in
which young girls are reared for life of plea
sure without reference to duty, l cannot wonder
at these results, nor at the misery in which they
involve families and communities. Sew the
wind and reap the whirlwind
AS Christian bishop, therefore, I make
my appeal to you, Christian women, and ask
you to begin the reformation, by faithfully
bearing your testimony against all that tends to
the degradation of your sex, and the more so
when such crime is not only winked at, but re.
ceives countenance in circles which ought to be
exemplary"

GRowLERs. There is class of men in ev-
cry community who go about with vinegar faces,
growing because they are not appreciated as
they think they should be, and who constantly
quarrel with their destiny. These men usually
have made great mistake in their estimate of
their abilities, or are unmitigated donkeys. In
either case they are unfortunate Ifpeople de-
spise you, do not tell it all over town. If you
are capable, show it. If you are right down
and show your good will by deeds Then, if
the people feel above you, go right off and feel
above them. 1t they swell when they pass you
in the street, swell yourself, and if this does not
fetch them,' conclude very good naturedly
that they are unworthy your acquaintance, and
pity them for missing such capital chance to
get into good company.

To Young Men.

1t is easier to be good business man than a
poor one. Half the energy displayed in keep

hind will save credit, give more time to bushes,
and add to the profit and reputation of your
work. Honor your engagements. lfyou pro-

certain moment, be ready at the appointed
time. If you go out on business, attend prompt
ly to the matter on hand and then as promptly

tell stories in business hours
If you have place of business, be found there
when wanted. No man can get rich by sitting
around stores and saloons. Never fool on
business matters. If you have to labor for a
living, remember that one hour in the morning
is better than two at night. If you employ 9TH
ers, be on hand to see that they attend to their
duties, and to direct with regularity, prompt
ness and liberality. Do not meddle with any
business you know nothing of. Never buy a
thing simply because the man that sells will
take it out in trade. Trade is money. Time is
money. A good business is pleasant and at
tractive then stay there to wait on customers.
Never use quick words, or allow yourself to
make hasty or ungentlemanly remarks to those
in your employ for to do so lessons their respect
for you and your influence over them. Help
yourself, and others will help you. Be faithful
over interests con6ded to your keeping and all
in good time your responsibilities will be in
creased Do not be III too great haste to get
rich Do not build until you have arranged
and laid good foundation. Do not-as you
hope to work for success-spend time in idle
ness. Ifyour time is your own, business will

Learn to say no. No necessity for swapping it
out dog fashion, but say it firmly and respect
fully. Have but few confdants and the fewer
the better. Use your own brains rather than

'Feed a Cold and Starve a Fever"

Proverbs are condensed fragments of COM
mon sense, in which some truth, learned by
experience, is briefly and wittiy spoken.
Many of them are rich in wisdom; and so is
the one at the head Of this article
But most people give it (oft-quoted as it isl
a meaning the very opposite of its true sense,
and thus make it teach mischievous error
They understand it to mean, "When you have
a cold eat freely
Some will say-''But there is generally some
fever with a cold, and you had better not eat
too much.
But, gentle reader, that is not what the prov
erb says.
Did you never say to a man walking on the
roof of house, or foundering about in an
empty hay loft ''Fall down there and break
your neck? ~ And did you mean him to take
you at your word, and tumble down? So this
proverb does not tell you to feed cold at all.
eff you are fool enough to feed cold, you
will have to starve fever
The proverb is true There is no cure for a
cold like starving it, if you begin within twenty
four hours Of its first attack.
But you say, that is small thing to put 10
a newspaper.
Not SO small, friend, while millions spoil the
wit of the proverb, and daily injure themselves
by reversing its meaning. NETsER

Hat COURTESY hat plays an impor-
tant part in demonstrating courtesy. 1t is not
every man, however, who can uncover his caput
gracefully; yet the art is worth acquiring, for
the salute, when elegantly performed, always
makes favorable impression on society, and
especially on the ladies. Hands and fortunes
have been won, ere now, by hat and hand po-
liteness. Some gentlemen imagine that mere
ly touching the brim of their chapeaur is suff-
cient expression cf their respect for the ruling
sex. They are mistaken. The beaver must
be fairly lifted from the head to satify them,
and slig BIT flourish of the same, accompanied
by an obeisant movement of the head and spi-
nal column, renders the act, in their opinion,
doubly charming. Elaborate attempts at this
exploit are made quite often on our streets, but
it must be confessed that most of them are
failures. Our exquisites overdo the thing
There is golden mean in the management of
the hat which they unfortunately miss-their
ambition overleaps it.
