Comparison Between American and
European Family EXeluSiVeneSs.

DIR. Holland, in the June number Of
ScriJHer's Monthly, in an article enti-
tied 'Living With Windows Open, I"
thus speaks Of the ease with which
strangers are taken into American
families, and difficulties attending in
Productions into European houses:
More than any other people in the
world, Americans live with their win
dows open. Less than any other peO-
pie who have hOmss, do they regard
their homes as sacredly private. Ey-
ery family knows its neighbOr's al
fairs; and nothing transpires concern
ing the most private that is not i'm
mediately noised abroad, discussed
and judged, by meddling and gossip
ing communities. Homes that should
be guarded with the most jealous care
are of easy access to strangers, who
come with the fiimsiest credentials, or
with none at all; and every year pro-
duce5 its crop of personal and social
disasters which this unwise exposure
OF the soil gives to reckless or villain
Gus sowing. Ii a man should wish to
see how Americans differ in this thing
[ from other nations, let him try TO get
! into a German or English family, or
even into French family abroad. He
will at once discover that he has un-
dertaken to do a very difficult thing.
I Ne man can obtain an inside view OF
I the economies and habits Of foreign
home and share in its communion,
who does not enter itwith a record OF
am introduction and Endorsement
/ which place him above suspicion.
| Students who go to continental Eu-
rope to study language with the natu-
raj expectation to accomplish theil
purpose by entering a French or Ger
man family, find to theirsurprise that
nothing but necessity will induce any
/ family to open its sanctities to him.

VOLUME 23-NUMBER &c

producing a heroic poem. He had
never lost sight Of the bright star Of
hope his youthful eyes beheld. He
felt that it was ain him. to furnish
some grand anthem which mankind
would sing with rapture, and whose
sublime strains would be caught up
by future generations. His genius,
like pent up fires, burst forth into a
mighty flame, and we have the grand
est poem in the English language.
The Iliad and Odyssey Of Homer
have pretty nearly their counterpart
in the Paradise Lost and Regained of
Milton. The Odyssey is inferior to
the Iliad, and Paradise Regained has
less merit than Paradise Lost. The
inferiOrity in each case is perhaps not
so much an indication of falling ge-
Mus as Of subject matter less ealcu-
lated to arouse the poetic fancy. The
two works mentioned of each of the
poets are the masterpieces of each.
Milton seemed shut out from the
world for a great work. He became
blind, and, as J. Montgomery quotes,
''was nightly visited by the heavenly
muse, or when morn purpled the east,
and was thus enabled to celebrate in
lofty hymns the throne and equipage
Of Gods almightiness."
Homer is said to have been blind,
but, as with Milton, it must have
been late in life, as his poems abound
! in descriptions.
1t is difficult to decide which was
the greater of the two poets. Ho-
mer's works shine eonspieuously in
literature after the lapse of more than
twenty-seven centuries, but much of
their prominence may be owing not
so much to their intrinsic merit, as to
the inferiOrity of the works produced
near his time.
If we admire the classical illusions
and the varied learning of Milton,
and his wonderful imagery, it must
be remembered that, while he display
ed unusual powers as a writer to orig
mate, he had opportunity to become
eOnversant with all the great writers
who preceded him.
Homer has left to literature exam
pies of the most vivid description, and
most truthful pictures of human ma
ture.
Milton, with his much learning and
soaring thought, has presented to his
readers the most sublime imaginative
forms, and has given to tine world
tauths and sentiments so well adOrn-
ell and so well presented that they are
greeted everywhere with pleasure,
and always, through the future ages,
will be welcomed as fit expOnents Of
some of the most glorious truths of
revelation.

Story With a Moral.

A dealer in pork had a preeOciOus
sOp who was expert in cards, and. in
playing with his young companions
was seldom on the losing side. He be-
gan at first to bet on the game, and ere
long would play regularly for money
with any Of his age disposed to
accept the risk. He came home
one day bringing several dol
lars which he had acquired in
his small way Of gambling, and
exhibited his gains to his father
with an air Of triumph. The thought
full father shook his head and told his
son that the money was not honestly
acquired. "But ! did not cheat, said
the boy. 81 hope not" replied the
father: "but did you give the loser
any equivalent whatever for 1t ~
The boy hung his head and the parent
added, money is honestly gained
where there is an exchange Of pro-
duets or services, and the receiver
gives an equivalent for it; to take
another mans property and give him
no equivalent for 1t, is to rob or cheat
him.n
a few months after the father came
home from the Produce Exchange
with an elated aspect, and announced
that he had settled his speculative con
tracts in pork by the receipt Of nearly
So, 900. His son eyed him steadily a
moment, and then said. "What did
you give the other man, father, as an
equivalent for the money ?'-M =.

INVESTMENTS.
Railroad and Real Estate Securities.

Railroad and Real Estate Securities.
IfcOmpare first-elass Railroad Bonds
with good Real Estate mortgages as
an investment for the people general
ly, each will be found to have peculiar
/ advantages of their own. For exam
plea Railroad Bond is readily and
always negotiable; its cash value is
known by all bankers, and hence it
can be used as collateral at bank for
/ temporary loans the interest it bears
is regularly and promptly paid, with
out trouble or expense to the holder;
| the investor in Railroad Bonds, unlike
the owner of Real Estate mortgages,
/ has no anxiety about the title to the
property on which his bonds is secur-
ed, insurance on buildings, or the an
nual payment of taxes, on which the
/ continued sOundness of that title de-
pends.
On the other hand, it is to be adj
fmltted, that first mortgage on valu-
able land is one of the best possible Sc
eurities. The property can neither
run away nor burn up. It's value is
not affected by speculative cOmbina-
tiOns, nor by fluctuations in the amOnt
of Railroad traffic. The actual value.
/ of good land steadily increases with
the steadp growth Of population.
/ It is because the T-3O bonds Of the
| Northern Pacific are both first-claSs
| Railroad security and a Real Estate
mortgage, on lands worth twice the
amount secured, that we commend
them to our readers who desire an in
vestment that is safe beyond q ques-
ton, while readily negotiable and
bearing a good rate of interest. They
are firgt lien, not only on a great
Railroad and its traffic, but i'm addi-
ton are a first mortgage on valuable
lands at the rate Of so acres to each
S160 of Indebtedness. Add to this the
fact, that the rate Of interest Il $40
pes cent. gold, J is more than S per cent.
/ currency, and that the bonds are al
ways eXchangeable at 10 per cent.
premium for the lands on which they
are secured practically giving the
power of foreclosure at will and it is
easy to explain the high favor with
| which these securities are now regard
ed. Central Pacific Railroad Bonds,
secured only on the Railroad itself,
and bearing only six per cent. gold
interest, are now selling at 103, and
/ they are well worth the price. In
the light of this fact, it is not unsafe
to predict that that the Northern Pa
cific's, bearing seven and three-tenths
| per cent. gold interest, secured both
on the Railroad and on 5000 acres of
land to each mile of track, and now
selling at par, will at an early day be
worth 10.--PiiJdCielpltid Press.

What Carat.

The carat IS an imaginary weight,
that expresses the fineness Of gold, or
the proportion Of pure gold in a mass
of metal; thus, an ounce Of gold is
divided into a carats, and gold Of p
earats fine is gold of which - parts
out Of "A are pure, the other two parts
being silver, copper, or other metals
the weight Of four grains used by Jew
elers in weighing precious stones and
pearls, Is sometimes called diamond
weight-the carat consisting of fOul
nominal grains, little lighter thar
4 grains troy, or a Lie carat grains
being equal TO y grains troy. The
term or weight carat derives its nam,
from aibean, the fruit OfaD Abyssiniar
tree, called klt0rd. This bean, from
the time Of its being gathered varie.
very little in weight, and seems Il
have been, from very remote period
used as a weight for gold in Africa
In India also the bean is used a. o

FAITH JUSTIFIED.
Deacon Adams Relates his ENpert
fenee.~

BY FRANK Give.
Siut ashamed to testify
What faith has done for me,
When, with the naked feshIy eve,
Ny way 1 could not see;
For Il have kept the faith, ," ss Paul
Remarked TO Timothy.
Sometimes 1 have been soreIy tried
By Soul-besettiug doubt;
lea in extremity I've lied
Aud almost been found uutt
But that was when adversely
Had e0mpaSSed me about!
Yet faith has triumphed in the end.
And always brought me through:
For which my daily thanks ascend
To Him TO whom they're due
Except when am busy, or
Have somesly job In view.
A year ago bought hOss,
Whose style my fancy struck,
But early recognized my loss
He wasn't worth a shuek!
All. brethren, twas a bitter cross,
The thought that ] was s'Stuck -
Tie was very shOwy brute,
But most amazing slow:
IL somehow never seemed 10 suit
That animal TO go,
He always seemed discouraged by
\ sense Of endless whoa!
Ny faith was sadly shaken
By that eighty dollar trade;
etthe PsaImist wasn't mistaken;
Il haven't seem - he said,
'The righteous man fOrSaken,
Nor his seed a begging bread ="
And sure enough there came along
\ hOrse-dealing dead-beat,
On whom I "came Il, - rather strong.
By what might seem deceit
Though I can hardly deem it wrong,
The wicked to defeat.
The Spanish flies were thick that day,
And some got in the feedl
How suddenly that hOss waxed gay!
And how increased his speed!
Yea, Outwardly and inwardly
He was a fiery steed!
That Jockey scOGed at style and pace,
In phrases quite profane;
Then shook three "ffties'' in my face,
And shook them not in vain.
The lucre quite enticed me, though
His language gave me paint
/ ought TO have reprOyed him
For the wicked words he said,
But anger might have moved him
To repudiate the trade;
Besides, he was already, most
Essentially flayed!
Thus I brought low that man Of sin,
And saved myself from loss;
And, brethren, trials long have been
To me, like that old hOss-
profit, in the long run, by
What seemed bitter cross.
Thus things are sure to come round righ
For those who live in faith;
That "walk by faith, and not by sight,
As the Apostle saith:
And while it pays I mean to be
Found faithful unto DEATH"

THE FORSAKEy.
BY ESTELLA A. LEWIS.

/ The following beautiful poem, which pos
| sesses such rigid simplicity and tearfu
| pathOs was composed by the authoress whel
/ but fourteen years OF age, on hearing tn
physician tell her nurse one evening, durin
I illness, that she could not live till morning
/ No one OF real feeling can peruse it withou
a strong inclination TO tears. Its Irresistible
charm is its absolute truth-the unafecte,
naturalness Of its thought.
II hath been said-for all who die
There is a tear;
Some pining, bleeding heart 10 sigh
Ger every bier
But In that hour Of pain and dread,
Who will draw near
Around my humble couch and shed
One farewell tear?
Who viii watch life's :ast parting ray
In deep despair,
And sOothe my spirit on its way
With holy prayer?
What mOurner round my bier will come
In weeds OF woe,
And follow me to my long home
Solemn and slow?
When lying on my clayey bed,
In icy sleep,
Who there by pure affection led
VIII come and weep;
By the pale moon implant the rose
Upon my breast,
And bid Il cheer my dark repose,
Ny lowly rest?
Could l but know when am sleeping
Low In the ground,
one faithful heart would there be keeping
Watch all night round,
As If some gem lay sArined beneath
That sod's cold gloom,
'Twould mitigate the pangS OF death,
And light the tomb.
Yes! in that hour If could feel,
From halls of glee
And Beauty's presence one wnuld steal
In secresy,
And come and sit and weep by mo
Innight's deep moon
Oh l would ask OF memory
No other boon.
But ahI lonelier fate is mine,
A deeper woe:
From all 1 love in youths sweet time
I soon must go;
Drawn round me my pale robes of white,
In dark spot
To sleep through deaths long dreamlsss
night,
Lone and forgot.
