Uses Of Stupidity.

Our stupidity, In short, preserves con-
vonicnt twilight; It hangs like . fog over
armies, which enables tho RI
val commanders TO shin hcir positions
and gradually to occupy important POSI-
tions without giving tho alarm. Before
We are aware that any change has been
made We have undergone complete rev.
olution. and wonder when we look back
liko man who has been walking In the
mist, and has described complete circle
under tho impression that he was follow.
ing straight line. But this service.great
NJ It Is, Is only one we owe to stupidity.
1t Is generally said. and with q certain de-
gree of truth, that men are great In pro-
portion as they arc In advance of their
ago, and catch distinct glimpses Of tho
goal to which things are tending. But Il
Is also to be observed that fools often
make tho best rcformers Of tho ago. Great
thinkers have for the most part the weak
ness that they can sec two sides TO q ques-
ton; they SEQ that change will lead to|
certain blessings; but they cannot over
look the evils with which those blessings
will be accompanied. Now, good
thick. headed one-idead fool Is, on such
an occasion, OF incstimable value. Tho
Duke Of Wellington, who Is supposed TO
have proGtcd by this quality, Is In some
respects an excellent example Of the prin-
ciple. He was not precisely stupid. but
no man who can fairly be called great,
had q narrower escape from stupidity.
With certain great talents, he had one
characteristic popularity Of fools-that Of
being provided with q pair Of natural
blinkers. which compelled him to sec only
that which was straight before him, and
to take the narrowest possible view Of his
task. Tho stupidest Of men could hardly
have been moro blind TO the real nature
OF the vast revolution In regard to which
he played SO conspicuous part.

The New England Farmer urges upon
lis readers the importance Of commencing
haying early. Proofs enough OF the Inn
portancc Of this have been given in these
columns heretofore. 80 that we need not
dwell upon them now. Our observation
has convinced us that. 80 far rs weather
Is concerned. the most favorable time for
making hay Is the last ten days in June.
and the first ten In July. As n general
thing. also, the grass cut during this pc
riOd Is worth more than most of that cut
later. The evidence, too, is clear that
grass cut while in the bloom and cured
without much exposure to the sun. Is very
much more valuable than that cut later,
and exposed part Of two or three days
10 sun and air. Grass cut early and made
mostly in the cock. retains more fully tho
grass qualities, and all stock like this bet
ter than other feed.

The Newspaper.

In recent sermon by one Of the Pres
bytcrian ministers In Cincinnati on the
secular and religious press, It was said
We can get along without coffee for
breakfast better than we can without our
paper. Not only as vehicle OF ncws Is
the paper powerful: not only because by
the paper does Flora McFlimsey do her
days shopping and the merchant his days
buying. but especially because It does the
practical thinking Of Large part Of tho
people. They are too busy or too indo-
lent to do II for themselves. 50 they get q
man to sit up nights, state the facts, and
draw the conclusions and advocate the
ory for them. do the whole up In . conve-
nient package and slip II under tho front
door. In half an hour, while they sip
their ccflec, they have not only learned
what is going ON In the world, but exactly
what they ought To think and how they
ought to feel about the mixei.up business
In this great rushing world OF ours.

Story of Poe's Song of 1.-THE Bells"

The following incident was related by
n member of the Baltimore bar, who, ut
the time of the occurrence was but re-
Gently admitted to practice. Tho truth
of tho statement may be depended on,
and even the conversation introduced Is
given nearly word for word rs reported:
AT the period referred to there were
several single-storicd houses on the east
side of St. Paul street, between Lexing.
ton and Saratoga streets, each OF which
contained but two rooms. They were
rather massively-0ccording to the pres
ent tideas--constructcd, of brick, but have
been for long time displaced by tall
and stately buildings. One OF these sim
gle-storied houses was occupied by my
informant. The front apartment was
used rs law office, the rear as sleep
Ing room. 'r.I'
One calm. clear moonlight winter
night, when tho snow lay deep upon the
city streets and roofs, Mr.- was
making preparation to retire TO bed,
when the frontdoor bell was rung. He
aroused his negro servant boy. and sont
him to open the door TO the lS.o visitor.
The boy almost Immediately returned
alone. He said that nobody was mt the
door. but gentleman was standing In
snow in the middle Of the street, talking to
himself and tossing his arms about.
Mr.--now went IN the front door
himself When he opened It he found
one who was evidently n gentleman-he
could see that by the m, onlight-stsnd-
ing ON the pavement facing him.
"Was il you who rang my bcll?" no

"You arc very welcome indeed" said
the young lawyer. "Walk IN, SIR"
