To each, while seeking treasure,
And what with vent, and care. and toll
We scarce have time for pleasure;
But never mind, that is loss
Not much TO be lamented;
Life rolls on gaily, IL We will
But smile and be contented.
If We we're poor, and would be rich,
1t win not be by pining;
No, steady hearts and hopeful minds
Are life's bright silver lining.
There's ne'er man that dared to hope,
Hath Of his choice repeuted; .f-
The happiest souls on earth are those
Who smile and are contented.
When grief doth cone to rack the heart
Aud fortune bids you sorrow,
From hope We may . blessing read,
And consolation borrow;
II thorns may come and roses bloom,
1t cannot be prevented;
So make the best Of life you can,
And smile and be oon'ented.

A Telegraph Disnatch Tube.

The necessity of sending telegraphic
dispatches from one part of town to
another, without the loss of time oc-
casioned by going through the busy
parts on foot, has induced the post-office
authorities to sanction the laying down
of an experimental tube in the busiest
is three inches in diameter, and is in di-
rect communication with the Fleet
Street branch from the main office. The
messages, as they arrive by the wires
from the provinces or the Continent, are
deciphered in the usual manner by
clerks, and those intended to be deliver
ed, say mile from the receiving office,
are then inclosed in a light cylinder.
This cylinder is covered with felt and
when filled, it is inserted into the tube,
and the flap or cover closed, when a
strong current of air, being blown into
the tube and behind the cylinder, forces
1t through to the branch office. In a
recent experiment, the carrier occupied
about four minutes OF time to travel the
distance, 2,05S yards. Stunts are pro-
vided SO that the carrier can be sent in
any direction, as intermediate flaps or
Poihto oAO SiOoCo W uliOW ~ w pass, ohiI-
ting and opening of the points being
first communicated by wire. The carri-
ers are capable of being drawn or sent
back either by suction or by Elast at
the opposite end.
The invention is considered of great
value by the authorities, as it will ex-
pedite the delivery of the messages-in
fact, something of the kind was needed
from the continually increasing use
made of the telegraph by the public,
since it has been in the hands of the
Post-office Department. We under
stand that that Mr.. Siemens, the inven-
tor, has been authorized to extend the
tube to the station at Charing Cross,
with branches leading to the post-oflice
en- route, so that if the working be found
successful, of which we have but little
doubt, there will be a complete system
of tubes all over London in very short
space of time
The plan will, in course of time, be
employed for sending letters to the vari-
Gus branches after they have been sorted
at the head Office, and this will enable
them to be delivered in about half an
hour after being posted.-LOndOn Me

Kiss NJ Wife CT Fight.

There are few married men who are
not averse to seeing their wives kissed,
but correspondent relates the partic-
ulars of case in which newly welded
Benedict felt himself insulted because
his wife was not kissed. The bride
groom was stalwart young rustic, who
was known as formidable operator in
a." free fight" His bride was beauti-
full and blooming country girl, only six
teen years of age, and the twain were at
party where number of young folks
of both sexes were enjoying themselves
in the good old-fashioned style. Every
girl in the room was called ont and
kissed, except R., the beautiful young
bride aforesaid and, although there
was not youngster who was not dying
to taste her lips, they were restrained by
the presence of her herculean husband,
who stood regarding the party with a
look OF sullen dissatisfaction. They,
however, mistook the cause, for suddenly
he expressed himself:
Rolling up his sleeves, he stepped into
the middle of the room, and in a tone of
voice that at once secured marked at
tention, said:
Gentlemen, have been noticing
how things have been working here for
some time, and amt satisfied. don't
want to raise fuss, but"
"What is the matter, John ?" inquired
half dozen voices. "Have we done
anything to offend you ?"
"Yes, you have; all of you Lave hurt
my feelings, and have got just this to
say about it. Here's every girl in the
room has been kissed nigh dozen times
apiece, and there's my wife, who / con-
slider as likely as any of 'em, has not had
single one tonight; and just tell
you now, if she don't get as many kisses
the rest of the night as any other girl in
the room, the man that Sights her has
got me to ick-that's all. Now go
ahead with your plays"

DRIFTING.

Echoes of cathedral music
Heard--it may be long ago,
Linger with us unforgotteB,
Haunt us still and live and grow
They are drifting, softly drifting
Through the wild unrest OF life,
Golden organ-notes, uplifting
Weary souls above the strife.
Through the clamor of the city
Round our outer being rolls,
Still those sacred notes are filling
All the chambers of our souls;
As If touched by hands immortal,
Stray cords, tremulous with love,
Drifted through some open portal
OF the wondrous church above!
In the gray and silent morning,
Ere the shadows are withdrawn,
When the white mist hides the valley
With veil of airy lawn;
Then we listen-hearing slowly
Through the stiffness deep and calm,
Murmurs of that music holy,
Like the cadauce Of q psalm.
When the summer sunset fingers
Low adown the crimson West,
And the weary hands are folded
With the blessed sense of rest,
Then we listen-strengthencd, soothed
By the magic of that strain,
Till the furrowed brow is smoothed,
And the heart grows young again.
They are drifting, softly drifting,
Through the great worlds daily strife,
Golden organ-notes that tell us
OF new and better life:
Low, clear music, sweetly blending
With the spirits voiceless cry;
Under tones that have no ending,
Echoes of eternity!

SILT for tlle Throat.

In these days, when diseases of the
throat are so universally prevalent, and
in so many cases fatal, we feel it our
duty to say a word in behalf of q simple,
and what has been with us most effect
ual if not positive cure for sore throat.
For many years past, indeed we may say
during the whole of life OF more than
forty years, we have been subject to sore
throat, and more particularly to a dry,
hacking cough, which was not only dis
tressing to ourselves, but to our friends
and those with whom we were brought
into business contact. Last fall we were
induced to try what virtue there was in
common salt. We commenced by using
it three times day-morning, noon and
night. We dissolved a large tablespoon
full of pure table salt in about half
small tumblerful of cold water. With
this we gargled the throat most
thoroughly Just before meal-time. The
result has been that during the entire
winter we have been not only free from
coughs and colds, but the dry, hacking
coug gh has entirely disappeared. We at
tribute these satisfactory results solely to
the use of the salt gargle, aad most cor
daily recommend a trial of it to those
who are subject to diseases of the throat.
Many persons who have never tried the
salt gargle have the impression that it is
unpleasant. Such is not the case. On
the contrary, it is pleasant, and after a
few days use no person who loves nice,
clean mouth, and first-rate sharpener
of the appetite, will abandon it.-Relig-

The North Pole Expedition.

The Washington Star says: The u.
S. steamer Perriwinkle, in which Cap
tain Hall will this summer make an ex-
pedition to as near the North Pole as he
can get, is on the ways at the Navy Yard
receiving a complete overhauling, and
when the workmen are done with her
the stout little vessel will be almost as
good as new. Heavy timbers are being
used to strengthen her, and inside her
sheathing there will be a coating of
cork. She will have in her two boilers,
one of which will use blubber, the only
fuel accessible in some portions of the
Arctic region. To protect her propeller
when she reaches the ice fields she will
carry propeller well. Constructor De-
lano, under whose direction several of
the former Arctic expeditions have been
fitted out, has the superintendent of
the work, and is giving his personal
supervision to the fitting out of the yes
sci, which is of 3S7 tons burden, and
will probably take not more than one or
two guns. The expedition will leave
here in May or June.

Cough Lozengers, are of great value. In
Coughs, Irritations of the Throat caused by
