"TO Gods Kingdom"

KING FREDERICK of Prussia was once
travelling in his dominiOns and passed
through pretty village, where he was TO
remain an hour or two.
The villagers were delighted to see their
king, and had done their utmost IN pre-
paring to receive him. The schOOl-chli-
dren strewed flowers before him; and one
little girl had q pretty verse of welcome
to saw to him. He listened most kindly,
and told her she performed her task well,
which pleased her very much. He turned
to the schoolmaster and said he would Ike
to ask them a few questions, and examine
them in what they knew. Now there
happened to be a large dish of oranges on
the table close by. The king took up one
of these, saying, ITO what Kingdom does
this belong, children?"
ITO the vegetable kingdom" replied
one of the little girls.
"And to what kingdom this?" contin-
ued he, as he took from his pocket geld
coin.
"To the mineral kingdom" she an
swered.
"And to what kingdom do 1 belong?"
inquired he, expecting, of course, that she
would answer in the right order, To the
animal kingdom" But she paused and
colored very deeply, not knowing what to
say. She feared that it would not sound
respectful to answer to king that he be-
longed to the animal kingdom; she puz-
zled her little brain for reply.
Remembering the words in Genesis,
where it says that God "created man in
his own image, in the image of God crea,
ted he him." she quickly looked up, and
said, ITO Gods kingdom, sir"
The king stopped down, and placed his
hand upon her head A tear stood in his
eve. He was moved by her simple words
Solemnly and devoutly did he answer,
"God grant may be counted worthy OF
that kinOdous "

The Greatness Of London.

WE have seen thus far nothing more
marvellous than the vastness of London
At first sight it seems much like other
large cities, but visit to its busy thor
oughfares, and its places Unpopular resort,
soon makes one realize that he IS IN the
metropolis of the world. There is no one
principal avenue which alone shows the
travel and traffic of London to the extent
that Broadway represents New York IN
fact that would seem impossible in city
ten or twelve miles long by eight or nine
broad. On London bridge, however, and
along such streets as the Strand and
Cheapside, may be seen every pleasant al
ternoOn mass of vehicles and moving
humanity such as it is tiresome to gaze at
a long time. To appreciate the size OF
London, one must also make excursions
toward the outskirts in different direc-
tions, where will be found streets and
sections which, in their general appear
ance, show that they have recently grown
up from common roads and country
villages to hold now their part in the
densely populated city. A visit to
Hyde Park any pleasant afternoon
affords a rare sight as to the i'm
mense number of private carriages
and eauestrians which London can
concentrate with no apparent reduction OF
vehicles elsewhere. None of the public
carriages are admitted, still the collection
is so great as to crowd the broad and beau
tiful driveways for miles as closely as is
practicable with driving at fair speed; and
policemen are frequently needed to keep
the ways from becoming blocked. Lon
don proper, or the city, as it is called,
which was originally inside the walls, and
over which only the Lord Mayors jurisdic-
ton extends, is now but kernel In the
thickly surrounding mass, and contains
only about 100000 inhabitants, while all
outside of this consists of towns and vii.
liages which have gradually been absorbed
into the metropolis; and this growth is go
ing on at the present time at marvellous
rate. The stranger in London is at first
confused by finding what is really one con-
tinuous thoroughfare frequently divided
into various streets, places, squares or
roads, and called by as many different
names. There also various streets OF the
same name, such as King street, OF which
there are no less than fifteen, besides half
a dozen others resembling it as closely as
Kings square, or Kings road To identi-
fy different points, London is divided into
nine postal districts, marked N. (northl,
N. E. (northeast), w. c. (western centraD,
and so on; and in naming any street or
place it is usually necessary to give some
we'll known square or street near by, and
generally the postal district also; for
example, Southampton row, Russell square,
w. c.; or King street, Cheapside.-Letter
to Con0reo1tiO7lalist.

Mark Twain's Salutat0ry.

In entering upon his editorial duties,
Mark Twain thus salutes the readers of the
Buffalo Express:
Being stranger, it would be immodest
and unbecoming in me to suddenly and
violently assume the associate editOrship
of the Buffalo Erpress without single ex-
planatory word of comfort or encourage
ment to the unoffending patrons of the
paper, who are about to be exposed to
constant attacks of my wisdom and learn
ing. But this explanatory word shall be
as brief as possible I only wish to assure
parties having a friendly interest in the
prosperity of the journal, that l am not
going to hurt the paper deliberately and in
tentionally at any time. am not going
to introduce any startling reforms, or
in any way attempt to make trouble. I
am simply going to do my plain, unpre-
tending duty, when cannot get out of it.
shall work diligently and honestly and
faithfully at all times and upon all occa-
sions, when privation and want shall COM
pei me to do it; in writing, shall always
confine myself strictly to the truth, except
when it is attended with inconvenience; i
shall witherlngly rebuke all forms of crime
and misconduct, except when committed
by the party inhabiting my own vest; l
shall not make use of any slang or vulgari-
ty upon any occasion or under any circum-
stances, and shall never use profanity ex-
cept in discussing house-rent and taxes
Indeed, upon second thought, l will not
even use it then, for it is unchristian, in
elegant and degrading-though to speak
truly do not see how house-rent and
taxes are going to be discussed worth
cent without it. shall not often meddle
with politics, because we have political
editor who is already excellent, and only
needs to serve term in. the penitentary
in order to be perfect. l shall not write
any poetry, unless I Iconceivea spite against
the subscribers. 49,
Such is my platform. do not see any
earthly use in it, but custom is law, and
custom must be obeyed, no matter how
much violence may do to ones feelings.
And this custom which am slayishiy
following now is surely one of the least
necessary that ever came into vogue. In
private life man does not go and trumpet
his crime before he commits it, but now
your new editor is such an important per-
sonage that he feels called upon to write
salutatory" at once, and he puts into
it all he knows, and all that he don't know,
and some things he thinks he knows but
isn't certain Of And he parades his list of
wonders which he is going to perform; of
reforms which he is going to introduce,
and public evils which he is going to exter-
inmate, and public blessings which he is
going to create, and public nuisances

Conclusion OF a Domestic Romance.

In our daily of the 18th IIlt. we gave the
history of romance of real life whose
main facts it may be well to recount Sam
uel, father of Rev. T. B. Eastman, of this
city, left Concord in 1919 to better himself
in Massachusetts. He left a wife and
three children behind, and finally went on
a whaling voyage. On his return the fam
lily had left this city and no trace of them
was to be found. Fifty years passed away,
the first family had grown up and Mr..
Eastman, ignorant of their existence, had
married again and raised another family.
By an accident Rev. Mr. Eastman ascer-
tanned that his father was alive, and fol-
lowing up the trace found and introduced
himself to him and told the story of the
past half century, so far as he knew it.
The elder Eastman, his second wife be-
ing dead, gladly heard the tidings of his
lost family, and he came to this city on the
18th to renew the relations that chance
had so sadly sundered. He was joyfully
received by his grandchildren, whom he
had never seen, and on the following day
performed his first duty, that of visiting
his mothers grave.
On the 18th the aged wife with two of
her descendants arrived in this city from
Nashua and went to the house of her son,
where all but one of her family, now liv-
ing, were gathered. The husband entered
the room and they looked at each other in
silence for a moment The old lady was
the first to speak, saying, " Is this Samuel
Eastman, my husband ?"" And my long
ost wife ?" he added, and they rushed to
each others arms and kissed with the
ardor of sweet sixteen. BY request of the
father prayer of thanksgiving was offered
m hannU ral1rinn nv Row IT
Eastman.
The old couple are now reunited, and
though the bloom of youth has fed, both
enjoy excellent health and spirits. The
old gentleman seyesight is defective, owing
TO straining it at sea, but he says he can
throw harpoon or lance whale as well
as ever He has never had doctor in hii
life. The old lady is also in excellent
health, but with impaired hearing. Tc
both we wish years of continued health
and renewed happiness.-Conoord Patriot

Ikthology-By Josh Billings.
THE GOLDFISH.


The Goldfish IL the child ov the oshun-
This ackounts for their being so salt.
They are caught with hook and line,
and bite like steel trap, and hang on like
poor relation. U
They are good eating for wet day they
are better than an umbrella to keep man
dry.
Dried Goldfish liz one ov the luxurys OF
life, but codfish three times day would
weaken nv confidence in them.
Goldfish never venture in fresh water;
they would spile if they did.
Ineyer have been codfishing miself, but
think should like it better than fishing
for frogs.
Think could catch frogs well enuff,
but should insist upon their taking them
sells off from the hook =.
I had rather take boss bumble-bee In
mi hand than a live frog, not because am
afraid the frog would bite, but am AFRAID
ov their kicking.
Sum people amt afraid to take emmy
thing with their hands, that they kan reach,
not even an eel, but if should ever git
caught by an eel, if couldn't settle with
him, right off, by giving him the hook and
line, would throw the pole into the bar
gain and put for home.
The Goldfish liz sed tew be an aristokrat,
and to keep aloof from the other fish OF hiz
size in the sea, and claims tew be relation
of the whales, but this looks to me rather
fishy.
/ hay noticed that the Goldfish alwuz haz
a stiff upper lip, but think this IL more
owing tew the bone that IL In him than IL
IL tew his blood.
THE MACKREL.
The mackrel IL game fish. They ought
tew be well edukated, for they are alwas In
schools.
They are very eazy to bite, and are
caught with piece ov old red flannel petty
coat tied onto hook.
They amt the only kind ov fish that are
caught by the same kind of bait.
Mackrel inhabit the sea, but thoze which
inhabit the gfocerys alwuz taste to me az
though they had been born and fatted on
salt.
They want good deal ov freshning be,
fore they are eaten, and want good deal
of freshning afterward.
If I can hav plenty of mackrel for break
fast, can generally make the other two
meals out ov cold water.
Mackrel are considered by menny folks
the best fish that swims, and are called
I" the salt of the earth"

MISCELLANEOUS.
To Young Men.


IT is easier to be good business man
than a poor one. Half the energy dis
PLAYED in keeping ahead that is required
to catch up when behind will save credit,
give more time to business, and add to the
profit and reputation of your work. Honor
your engagement. If you promise TO meet
a man, or certain thing, at a certain mo-
ment, be ready at the appointed time. Ii
to the matter on hand, and then as prompt
ly go about your own business Do not
stop to 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 living, remember that one
hour in the morning is better than two at
night. If you employ others, be on hand
to see that they attend to their duties, and
to direct with regularity, promptness
and liberality. Do not meddle with any
business you know nothing of. Never
buy thing simply because the man that
sells IL will take it out IN trad. Trade is
money. Time is money. A good bust
ness habit and reputation is always money.
Make your place of business pleasant and
attractive; then stay there to wait on Gus
toners. FtNtf tftf = -t -t'
Never use quick words or allow your
self to make hasty or uhgentlemanly re.
marks 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 the
interest confided to your keeping, and all
in good time your responsibilities will be
increased. Do not be in 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 idleness. If your time
is your own, business will suffer il
you do. If it is given to another for
pay it belongs to him, and you have 40
more right to steal it than to steal money.
Be obliging. Strive to avoid harsh words
and personalities. Do not kick every
stone in. the path; more miles can be
made a day by going steadily on than by
stopping to kick. Pay as you go. A man
of honor respects his word as he does his
bond. Ask, but never beg Help others,
when you can, but never give when you
cannot afford to, simply because it is fash
ionable. Learn to say no. No necessity
Of swapping it out dog fashion, but say il
firmly and respectfully. Have but few
confidants, and the fewer the better. Use
your own brains rather than those OF
others. Learn to think and act for your
self Be vigilant. Keep ahead, rather
than behind the time. Young men, cut thil
out; and if there is a folly in the argu
ment, let us know-ELclidnqe s
