Home.

The following from an exchange, will
meet with II hearty response from many
hearts: "Bless the old people, say we
What should we do without them9 Does
not man feel better and stronger in the
battle of lite for having a gray headed
old father and mother under the shelter
of some brown-eaved farmhouse far
away? Does the millonaire's heart leap
So high at the sight of the pines and
oranges that daily decorate his table, as
he does when the barrel of redsIreakcd
apples comes from the country home,
apples from the old hillside orchard, care
fully picked out by spectacled mother,
and directed in a shaking hand by the
old man? All those apples have a
flavor OF home end childhood What
an event it is to the dweilers in brown
stone mansions and marble-tronted pal
aces, to have the old folks come up from
the country on visit, with their old
tashi, ned ways, and antiquated snuff
colored garments, aud horror to all new
inventions and dangerous novelties! We
can but smile when they blow out the
gas, and sit as far rs possible from the
furnace registers for fear they shall burst,
and start every time the speakng-tubes
are used, and regard the water-pipes as
fearful and wonderful things. Such
things make them feel that their day and
generation are over, even more than the
white-headed little grandchildren, and
the silver threads in the locks OF the son
or daughter who vas their "baby once.
Yet there was something beautiful III
their simplicity, their utter Ignorance OF
the marvels OF city life. The dear old
folks AS long ms they are alive there
is always an untiring ear for our tales OF
joy or trial, a ready excuse tor our ioibles,
there is always some one TO whom we
are still "the children" 1t is only when
the accustomed tireside chair is empty,
and the violets growing over the gentle
eyes, that we feel the bitterest pang OF
heart sickness that earth has to give.
When the old folks are gone we are alone,
though thousand friends sit around our
hearthstone.

Select Poetry.
From the Overland Monthly.
The Fortune Of the Daisy.

OF what are you dreaming, my pretty maid,
With your feet in the summer cloverp
ALI You need not hang your modest head
know It's about your lover.
know by tire bushes on your cheek,
Though you strive TO hide the token;
And 1 knOw because you will not speak
The thought that is unspoSen.
You are counting the petals one by one,
or your dainty, dewy posies,
To and from their number, wkeS tits done,
The secret 1t discloscs.
You would see if he comes with gold and land
The lover that Is 10 WOO you;
Or only bring his heart iP his hand,
For your heart and your hand TO sue you.
Beware, beware, what you say and do,
Fair maid, with your feet in clover;
For the poorest man that comes TO WOO
May be the richest lover.
Since not by outward show and sign
Can you reckon worth's true measure,
Who only is rich in soul and mind,
May o4ieE the greatest treasure.
Ali There never was power in gems alone
To bind brow from aching
Nor strength enough in a jeweled zono
To hold heart from hreaking.
Then be not caught by the sheen and glare
OF worldly wealth and splendor;
But speak him soft and speak him fair,
Whose ireart is true and tender.
You may wear your virtues as n crown,
As you walk through life serenely,
And grace your simple rustic gown
With grace more than queenly.
Though only one for you shall care,
One only speak your praises,
And you never wear in your shining hair
A richer flower than daisesi

A Romantic Story.

\ magnificent piece Of human hair, the
largest, finest and most valuable in Amer
lea, says the New York San, is NON
hanging in the window Of Thompson e
Co, Canal st. near Broadway. lL is Oi
Il dark brown hur, suft rs silk, weighs
seven ounces, aud is siXIy-tonr inches III
lengih--tive feet four inches. On me
dium sized woman this would sweep the
floor. The Longest piece of hair ON re-
cord, exhibited at the London Exposition
of SOL belonged to Leon Pellery, Of Pa
ris, and was sevcnty-two inches IN length.
TIL story of this one that measured sixty
f ,ur inches is rather romantic. Ii came
from the head of II Swabian peasant girl,
who had two suit ,rs for her hand, Que
poor farm hand, who earned six kreul-
zprs day, and the other IA rich miller.
The miller owned the cottage ir which
the Swabiau girl and her widowed mo
ther lived, and being selfish aLd unscru-
lulous as he was wealthy, threatened Ia
drive his tenants out of their home IN
less his suit was successful, although they
had already paid part of the price de-
manded for the cottage, and w"re saving
aud working To pay the remainder In
this emergency, travelling hair merchant
appeared in the village, and sooher than
marry the wealthy miller, or ON the other
hand, hav. her aged mother driven from
house aud home, she determined upon
the sacrifice of her beautiful hair. 1t was
taken to the Leipsic annual fair; sold
there for Sl75 TO an Amercan dealer,
ard from his hands found its way to its
present owners. 1t is valLed at between
$3.50 and $780,

YATCuING.-The ocean yatch race which Ia

in interest the famous Oxford Cambridge boat

important question of superiority in the con

If these sea-going qualities in which the Cam

OF the Daunllcss is, therefore, by no means as
