OVER AND OVER AGAIN.


Over and over again,
No matter which way [ turn,
| always find in the Book of Life,
Some lessons | have to learn
| must take my turn at the mill
must grind out the golden grain.
| must work at my task with resolute will
Over and over again.
We cannot measure the need
OF even the tiniest flower,
Nor check the flow of the golden sands
That run through a single hour
But the morning dew must fall:
And the sun and the summer rain
Must do their part and perform it
Over and over again.
Over and over again
The brook through the meadow flows,
And over and over again
The pond rcus mil>wheel goes.
Once doing viii not suffice,
Though doing be not in vain;
And blessing. failing us once or twice,
May come If we try again.
The path that has once been trol
Is never so rough to feet;
And the lesson We once have learned
Is never 50 hard to repeat
Though sorrowful tears may fall.
Aud the heart to its depth be driven
With storm and tempest, we need them all
To render Us fit for heaven.

According to Contract.

People who have built houses for them
selves, aud in the never varying experience
of all oyerrun the contractor 5 estimate,
may find some consolation in the fact that
there was one man who had his house
built exactly as he ordered it, and didn' t
alter iue of his original plan, or overrun
the original contract price,
This was Il peppery old sea captain, who
sketched cut his own plans, being some
thing of draughtsman, OF his modest two
story, green blinded wooden mansion, and
summoned his caprenter and demanded what
he would charge TO build house exactly
after that plan, to be done in six months.
But, Captain" said the knight OF the
fore; to.e Lane, mere are no

~ want the house coidlng 70 my plan.
''Certainly," said Shayings, but you VIII

Not one single thing" roared the Cap
tain. Il pay you to build the house exact
ly as l have drawn the plan. | won have
anything put in; obey orders If you break
Very well, so be it, said Shaviugs,
rather ncttlcd and the price was hzed ioI
a dwelling according to plan, 10 be finished
in six months time, and the Captain sailed
away. Returning home, he was waited on
10y the builder, and the new mansion visited.
Its exterior was quite correct, pretty green
blinds. front door, with trel!is, all complete,
and so were first floor, entry and rooms.
And now, said he, I'VE will 90 up to the
chambers.
"All right" said Shavings, ''comc out

Outside why, Chips, what dye mean
by that? | want to go up stairs.

mariner, no stairs
No, indeed, replied the imperturablf
builder, ''you refused to let me have single
thing not down in the plan, and that con

owners.
The captain was fairly caught, for in hi:
drawing he had utterly forgotten this i'm
portant portion of his dwelling and hi
peppery temper had prevented the carpen
ter from pointing it out to him. Since then
it is said, the captain always gets IN pas

"29O."
We want no gold, Great Britain;
The score now on our slate,
Is one, no specie payment
Can ever hquidate.
There are char'd timbers lying,
Upon the ocean S floor;
That once beneath our country's flag,
Rich, freighted cargoes bore.
And many a stately vessel,
Owned in foreign land
That once sailed from our sea ports,
By Yankee sailors manned.
We ask no money, England
This bill cannot be paid
'Twont give US back our hardy tars,
Our navy, and our trade.
We don't forget you aided,
Foul treason with your gold;
Or that our hips, were in your ports,
As pirate 5 prizes sold.
We don't forget we re watching
For what time brings-and fate,
And for q final settlement,
We can afford to wait.
And months and years may go, John
But some time you will see,
How we have learned, 10 keep (like you)

ant association combining tor aggressive
purposes, have been recognized, but scarce
ly to the extent the subject merits.
Travelling in Italy, many years ago, we
visited some of the large dairy farms
in the neighborhood of Ferara. Inter
spersed among much Of the low lying, I'M
healthy land, remarkable for the prevalence
on it of every fatal forms of anthrax in the
summer season, are fine undulating pasture
lands, and the fields are of great extent
We happened to stop at a farm house one
fine autumn afternoon when the cows were
about to be MIXED. A herd Of over one
hundred was grazing homeward.
The women took their positions with
stool and pail close to the house, and as
the COWS approached, names were called
out which, at first, we thought, were ad.
dressed to the milk maids. Rosa, Floren-
"a, Giulia, Sposa, and many names, which
were noted by us at the time, were called
out by the overseer or one Of the women,
and we were astonished to see cow after
COW cease feeding or chewing the cud and
make direct, sometimes at trot, for the
woman that usually MIXED her.
The practice, we found, was not confined
to one farm; all the cows on each farm
knew their respective names, and took up
their position, just as readily as the indi
vidual members Of some large herds in
this country turn in from the fields to take
up their places in the sheds. London Matk

ion. An experienced man was always
stationed on the summit as "crow," to
look out for the sea, and give warning
when wave was likely to sweep over the
rock when the men would hold on, head
to the sea, while it washed over them.
Then, when the wave had passed over, and
there was temporary lull, picks, ham
mers, and jumpers, some over twenty
pounds in weight, were frequently found
to have been washed away. An addition
al danger to the men was in the necessary
blasting of the rock with gunpowder-
their only protection from the showers of
shattered fragments of rock being tenn.
porary pent house, formed each time they
landed. In building lighthouses, the pro.
gress of the work must always depend
upon the humor Of the weather. Very
often it is impossible to land on the rock
at all and, when you do, you may often
find large portion of the last days work
washed away and this has to be done all
over again. In the eight working seasons
occupied over the Wolf Rock light house
there were two hundred and sixty-six
landings; and of time spent in labor, eight
hundredand nine and half hours-being
only one hundred and one working
days, of ten hours each, for the erection of
the tower. In this lighthouse, fog-bell
weighing five hundred weight, is fixed on
the lantern gallery. 1t is struck by two
hammers worked by machinery. For the
purpose of giving the signal distinctive
character for the station, the machinery is
arranged for striking the bell three blows
in quick succession, at intervals of fifteen
seconds. The cost of building this light
house, considering the exceptional diff
culties, may be reckoned moderate-being
about sixty two thousand seven hundred
and twenty-six pouads.-Appleton's Jour.

Building a Lighthouse under DIM.
culties.

THE English Government has built a
lighthouse upon Wolf Rock, which Is
situated about nine miles southwest of
Lands End. The surface Of this rock is
very rugged consequently, to land upon
it is at all times very difficult matter
AS it is, moreover, in deep water about
twenty fathoms on all sides), and exposed
to the full force of the Atlantic OCEAN, a
terrific sea falls upon it, as may readily be
supposed. From this cause the building
of the new light has been no child's-
play. The light was first exhibited on the
list of Janury, 1870, and has since burned
