side ornament is wrong. We would not
say it is to be discarded altogether, but,
still, we have that leaning. Cut work,
and that of the simplest kind, is the best.
Complexity in forms and ornaments is
mostly bad. 1t not only requires unnec-
essary labor to produce, but there is actu-
ally vexation in the mind of the spectator
When people see n thing that is crowded
with intricate work, that it takes them
trouble TO make out, tits tolerably good ev-
idence that such work is not exactly what
il wanted
Give great attention to the sizes and
proportion of doors and windows, and psy
especial attention to the construction and
never, if possible, conceal its principles,
but let them form the basis of ornament.
Moldings, cornices, ard miters are not
to be put in exposed positions.
1t is surprising what an excellent effect
can be produced by cutting, even with
little or no molding or carving.
We do not stick much molding or carv-
ing about ship. How plain, yet how
beautiful it is, simply because of its pro-
portions and because it looks like work.

Mr.. D0Olittle, Of Illinois and WiscOn-
sin.

The Democracy of the State of Illinois
have, in the action of the Wisconsin Dem
ocratic State Convention, practical illus
tration of the disadvantages of holding a
late nomination convention. 1t was the
intention of the Democracy of Illinois to
nominate Hon. James r. Doolittle, of
Chicago, for Congressman-at-Large, but
the nominating convention having been
fixed for remote day, the Democracy of
Wisconsin were able to slip in with lit
tie convention few days in advance, and
nominated Mr.. Doolittle for Governor OF
Wisconsin. The Democracy of Illinois
are certainly entitled to sympathy for be
ing made the victims of this species OF
larceny, ard it will probably impress them
with the importance of holding, in future,
their nominating convention at an early
day, and bringing out their candidates be-
fore outsiders have an opportunity of cap
turing them. This action of the Wiscon'
Gin Democracy illustrates the thievish pro
pensities of the Democratic party. The
the ghost of a chance to achieve position
where it could plunder the treasury o
Wisconsin, was still under the necessity
of stealing something, for without stealing
could not exist, and, being able to la,
its hands on nothing else, concluded u
steal Mr.. Doolittle from the Illinois De
mocracy-a piece of petty larceny TO
? which the law provides no penalty.
Mr.. Doolittle, believing in the adag
that it is quite as well "to be hung for a
old sheep as lamb" accepts the nomine
ton of the Democracy of Wisconsin. Thi

IN THE LANE.

BY CELIA THAxTER.
By cottage walls the lilacs blow;
e Rich spikes of perfume STAND ana sway
~ At open easements, where all gay
The warm wind waves them 10 anu ifo'
Out Of the shadow of the door.
~ Comes one who makes the day more fair
And summer sweeter than before.
The apple blossoms might have shed
Upon her cheek the bloom SO rare: o,-
The sun has kissed her bright DROWN hah,
Braided about her graceful head.
Lightly betwixt the lilacs tall
She passes,-through the garden gaze,
Across the road,--and 81 ays to wait
moment by the orchard wall;
And then in gracious light and shade,
Beneath the blossom-laden trees,
mid song of birds and hum of bees r
She stays, unconscious, unaffalo.
Till swiftly o,er the grassy space
Comes one whose step she fain would stay;
Glad as the newly-risen day
Ee stOops to read her dropping face.
Her faSeis like the morning skies,
Bright. timid, tender, blushlng sweet;
She dares not trust her own TO meet
The steady splendor OF his eyes.
He holds her with resistless charm,
with truth with power, with beauty crowneo
* About her slender waist Is wound
The strong, safe girdle OF his arm;
And up and down. in hade and light,
: : They wander through the flying hours,
And ali the way is strewn with flowers,
And life looks like one long delight.
Ah happy twaini no frost shall harm.
No change shall reach your bliss so long
As keeps Its place the fsithful, strong,
Safe girdle of that folding arm.
Could you this simple secret know, .s
No death in life would be to fear,
Ere in another feeting year
BY cottage walls the Llacs growl

Business is Business.

THE editor of the Colorado Herald had
occasion to leave town for twU or three
days, and he committed his paper during
his absence to the charge of young man,
a novice in journalism, whom he had just
engaged as assistant. Before leaving he
instructed the ambitious young editor not
to permit any chance to go unimproved to
force the paper and the very small size Of
the subscription price upon the attention
of the public. "Always keep before your
mind the fact that the object of this paper
is to extend its circulation" he said; "and
whenever you see chance to insert puff
of the Herald in any notice you make, pile
it on as thick as you can. Keep the peo-
pie stirred up all the time. you understand,
so that they will believe the Herald is the
greatest sheet in the United States" The
parting tear was shed, and the editor left.
The following night, while he was away
from home, his wife died very suddenly.
Upon the assistant devolved the duty of
announcing the sad intelligence to the
public. He did it as follows:
"aoNE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN"
"We are compelled this morning to per-
form duty which is peculiarly painful to
the able assistant editor who has been en-
gagged on this paper at an enormous ex-
pense, in accordance with our determination
| to make the Herald a first-class journal

want of sleep and excitement. The lad
only shook his head and looked up. There
was an expression in his face beautiful to
see.
"We are coming TO a town. This must
he Cincinnati. See the hOusesl"
Sally leaned out of the window and
wildly waved something she had snatched
up, raising her voice at the same time and
shrieking for aid.
Put the baby down, VIII, and come
and wave and holler," she said, looking in
at him, and Will obeyed.
They see us! Why don't they help
1T is Cincinnatil Why don't they
come? See the boats!" She came
near falling out of the window.
They passed the suburbs; people saw, and
shouted to them, but seemed to have no
power to reach them. They were coming
IN front of the city, the lower part of
which, with COvington and Newport, lay
in the water. The steamboats, appeared
to be away up in the town, and many
skiffs and other little crafts were ply ing
upon the river
Now they were indeed seen, and their
shouts were answered, but the skifs could
not get near them. The current of the
river was strong, and there were too many

by knowledged that they were seen, the
children increased their exertions. Sally
brought the baby from the bed and held
it up. Presently large boat, which was
manned by men who were at work trying
to save some of the lumber of saw-mill,
shot out and came towards them. Slowly
and steadily it moved in and out, avoiding
or pushing off the driftwood and other
articles floating by.
People who had been obliged to retreat
to the second story of their dwelling put
their heads out at the windows to see the
strange sight-a house af1oat-and waved
and shouted and threw up their hands
when they saw that it had inmates, and
those inmates were children. Meantime
the house was floating on and the boat was
nearing it. A few lengths and it would be

which had been lying like great whale
on the surface of the water, was struck by
something, and, changing its course,

While the frame turned and whirled in
the eddy, the log moved on. Taking ad-
vantage of the clearer space, the boat
gained by a few clever strokes the side of
the ruin; then, while one of the crew sue
ceeded in making it fast, another climbed
to the window, where the children had
again appeared, and lifted them out. A
moment more and the house fell over on
its side.

whispered VIII to Sally, as they were
safely set ashore.
Jack Martin, who had reached the VI
cinity of his home to find it gone, was
soon informed of the safety of his chill
dren. and ere long the family were to-
gether again. Need we say it was joy
full meeting Our Young Folks.

Hints to Carpenters.

THE American Builder believes that
there is much labor in vain in the orna-
mentation OF houses, especially wooden
houses. 1t tells carpenters, before making
and fixing quantity of ornament, 10 be
sure that it is good, and goes on to say /;
There are many things that you do, and
many others that an architect--if there be
one in the case-will often instruct you 10
do, which are neither tasteful nor In good
construction. OF course there are excep-
tions. You may be sure of this, however,
that the more elaborate and covered Win
ornament building is, the more you are
ooino on the wrong track. Real beauty
consists not in added features but in the
body of the work itself aud this fact
should always be borne in mind.

Tell-Tale Tomatoes.

WHERE did you get them tomatoes ?"
asked an old Long Island farmer the other
morning, of a neighbor whose real estate
yielded product of NIL, and on which
there was not a tomato-vine.
His basket was full of very fine, ripe
specimens, which the farmer thought he
recognized. 1t wasn't the first time that
suspicion of his impecunious neigh5or's
honesty had arisen in his mind. -
"Where did you get 'en ?'', p : se .a..s
Bought en- #af
Who did you buy 'em OFF,
il" Bill Van Bri1nt, on Crow HILL"
":Aht let US look at your hands"
With his basket on his arm he held out
both hands for examination What do
you wantto look at my hands fOr? There
amt nothing onto EN-"
The old farmer was washing his own
hands at the time in a tin basin of rain
water, with wooden bowl of curdled
brown soft soap before him.
No; there amt nothing on 'em that
you can see; but see here, set down your
basket, and wash 'em. It's very coolin',
and your face and hands look hot" So
saying, he emptied the basin, filed it with
cold water, pointed to the soap dish and
relieved the bearer of his basket.
The first immersion and friction of the
hands in the water let the cat out of the
bag. Itat once turned green; grew green
er and greener every second, and at length
was'a intense dark green.
"Here, Jim," said the old farmer to his
tow-headed son, "take in this basket and
empty it and bring it out agin." Then
turning to his honest neighbor, he said:
You hooked them tomatoes from my
patch not half an hour ago. Three or fouI
of the top ones knew in minute. Here
your basket!'
If any reader of the EDenang Post in tn
country would test this discovery of
theft, let him pick one. or two tomatoes
separating the vines wit his naked han6
and then wash it. There is mysteriou
something about the plant, perfectly colol
lass, that instantly imparts the greer

Till ne has walked me;
Taking big mouthfuls,
And spilliDg bis milk,
Dulling nv cissors.
And snarlirg my silk;
Slow his alphabet,
Quick in all play,
Devising new mischief -
Each hour in the day;
Whistling and whiting,
And beating his drum;
Losing his handkerchiefs,
Cutting his thumb;
Breaking the windows
With ball. stone or bat;
Making the dog bark,
And teasing the cat;
Losing his mittens,
And spelling his hat;
Soaring his sister,
And tearing his cloths;
Fighting his mates
Til he bleeds at his nose;
Mnddying the carpet,
Enraging the cook;
Sof ening my heart
With his sweet ''sorry" look

A FEW reasons why they should havo the
IA preference over all others:
l. Wheeler Wilson's Sewing Machine ia
much simpler than any of tho others; re-
Guiring loss than hall the amount OF ma.
chinery.
2. AS the result OF this simplicity, this m a.
chine is much less liable than the others to
get out Of repair
8. Another reealt Of this simplicity is
greater durability.
4. Another result ia lcss friction and, con.
sequently, greater ease and rapidity or mo-
Lion, with less noise.
s. And greatest OF all. that it 1ses no Shut
tie, and makes tho lock stitch.
It is the cheapest to buy the best. Buy the
machine that has justly, fairly and honora-
bly, won reputation and independence
against strong and bitter competition. Fol
more than twenty years has the Wheeler &
Wilson not only stood fret and foremost. bu,
now stands the UNI niivalled Sowing Machine OF
the enlightened civilized world. Buy the ma.
chine that has been thus tested and proved.
and then you aro sure to get the best. For
