Little fishes are sweet Every day \ thread

The World is a Museum.

Those of our readers who have visited New
York and sauntered~ through its crowded
thoroushfares, will recognize the picture
drawn below:
The whole globe is a museum to those who
have eyes to see. Rare plays are unfol ed be
fore every man who can read the drama Of

Wicked to see plays? Every street is . thea

unconscious players. There are Othellos,

!" Midsummer Night Dreams +" are performing
in our heavens. Happy? A walk up and
down Broadway, New York, Or Fulton street
in Brooklyn, is as good as play. The chill
dreu. the nurses the madens, the mothers,
the wealthy everybodys. the queer men, the
unconscious balloons, the drolls, the earnest
nonsense, and the whimsical oarnestness of
men, the shop windows, the ears, the horses,
the carriages -bless us-there is not half
time enough to enjoy all that is to be seen in
these things! Or. if the mood takes you, 90

course fitting times and seasons. Be cheer

nor vanity. nor love. Every fool is special
fool, and there is no duplicate. What are
trades and all kinds Of business but labrato
ries where the ETHEREAL thought is transmitted
into some visible shape Of matter? What
are workmen but translators Of mind into
matter? Men are cutting saving fling, ft-
ting, joining. polishing But every article is
so much mind condensed into matter. Work
is incarnation. Nobody ever knows city

vaults under streets, cellars under houses, at

are found tucked away in some queer nook,
doing unexpected things, themselves odd and

Spend Wisely

Look most to your spending. No matter
what comes in, if more goes out you will al
ways be poor. The art is not in making mon
ey. but in keeping it little expenses, like
mice ia barn, when they are many, make
treat waste Hair by hair the head gets
bald; straw by straw, the thatch .3oes off the
-estt.ger aud drop by drop the rain comes

if the tap leaks but drop minute. When
YOU mean to save, begin with your mouth
Their. are many thieves down the red lane. The
ale Jug is great waste. In all other things
keep within compass Never stretch your
legs further than the blankets will reach. or
you will soon be cold In clothes, choose
suitable, lasting stuff, and not tawdy fneries.
TO be warm is the main thing; never mind
the looks. A fool may make money. but it
needs wise man to spend it. Remember it
is easier to build three chmneys than to keep
one going. If you give all to back and board,
there is nothing left for the savings banks
Fare hard and work hard while you arm

YOU are old-John Ploughman's 7alk.

The New York correspondent of the Lou

following:
Last night, walking out Canal street to
Broadway, | met beautiful girl, in plain but
neat and close fitting dress that showed her
fine form to the best advantage, and wearing
straw hat with simple bow and ribbon-in
fact, as perfect PRESERVATION Of handsome
country lassie as you could find in the rural
districts Her cheeks were flushed with the
roses Of health, and her Cupid's bow Of a
mouth was pouting and red-temptipg enough
to have won kiss from St. Anthonys self.
She paused under street lamp, just where
her charms and attitude would be most efec-
tive, and, with long lasl,cs modestly vailing
large dark eyes that swan in sensuous light,
she held out slip of paper with number
and street written ON it.

There was one at home who sat like a good

and naturalness of the affair lurked a trick

victim is lured to some suitable place of re

prepared liquor or chloroform, and while he
is unconscious confederate enters and robs
him-perhaps both to save appearances. OF
course when the fieeced sheep wakes there is
discovery, and sometimes an cutlery. But
generally the victim breads exposure, and

How People Take Cold.

| Not by tumbling into the river and drag
ging home wet as a drowned rat not by be-
ing pitched into the mud, Or spilled out in
! the snow ia sieighing time; not by walking
| for hours over shoetop in mud not by soak
| ing in the rain without an umbrella not by
! scrubbing the floor until the unnameable
sticks to you like wet rag; not by hoeing
potatoes until you are in a lather of sweat !;
these are not the things which give people
colds; and yet they are all the time telling
US how they Caught their death cold by ex-
posure"
The time for taking cold is after your ex-
erclse /; the place is you own house, or office.
or counting house. 1t is not the act of exer.
else which, gives people cold. but the getting
cool too quick after exercising For exaln-
pie, you walk very fast to get to the railroad
station, or to the ferry, or to catch the omui-
bus, or to make time for an appointment;
your mind being ahead of you, the body
makes an extra effort to keep up with it, snd
when you get to the desired SPOT you raise
yeur hat and find yourself in a preparation
you take seat, and feeling quite comfortable
as to temperature, you begin to talk with ..
friend, or if New Yorker, to read a newspa-
per, and before you are aware oft, you expo.
rience sensation of chilliness and the thing
is done; you look around to see where the
cold comes from, and fud an open window
near you, or door, or that you have taken a.
scat at the forward part of the car, and it
moving against the wind, a strong draft is
made through the crevices ~
After any kind of exercise, do not stand
moment at street corner, for anybody or
anything; or at an open door or window.
When you have been exercising in any way
whatever, winter Or summer. go home at once,
or to some sheltered place; and, however
warm the room may seem to be, do not at
once pull off your hat and cloak, but wait
aWhilc-some five minutes or more and lay
aside one thing at time; thus acting, q
cold is impossible. Notice moment When
you return from brisk walk and you enter
warm room, raise your hat and your FORE
head will be moist; let the hat remain few
moments and feel the forehead again, and it
will be dry, showing that the room is actually
cooler than your body, and that, with outdoor
clothing on, you have really cooled of full
soon enough. Many Of the severest colds I
have ever known men to take, were tho re-

THINGS THAT NEVER DIE.

The pure the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our .ears in youth,
The impulse to q wordless prayer,
The dreams of love and TRUTH
The longings after something lost,
&, The spirits yearning cry,
The strivlngs after better hopes
These things can never die
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
The kindly words in grief's dark hour
Thatproves friend indeed
The plea for mercy softly breathed
When justice threatens high,
The sorrow of eontrite heart
These things can never die.
The memory Of clasping Ind,
The pressure of kiss, i,es
And all the triaes, sweet and fleet, Ia 4 r.. lss <
That make up loves first Bliss; - go
If with firm. unchanging faith,
And holy trust and nigh, ,
These hands have casoed. those lips have met
These things shall never die
The cruel and the bitter word,
That wounded as it fell;
The chilling want of sympathy. -
We feel but never tell;
The hard repulse, that chills the heart,
Whose hopes were bounding high,
In unfading record kept
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass for every hand
Must find some work TO do
Lose not a chance to waken love;
Be firm, and just. and true;
So shall light that cannot fade,
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee;
"These things shall never die"

Selfshness should teach us to be kind to
animals, for they grow faster, fatten quicker,
and yield more profit generally. A man OF
keen observation can soon tell who treats his
horses or cattle Bodily; they will culver at his
approach, turn from him, Or kick at him.
Seldom do such farmers prosper. The leaven
runs through the whole loaf, and everything
turns against them They will tell YOU c Il
