n. c. Meeker writes 70 the New
York Tribune As follows:
Among the attractions Of the Capt.
tai is the government garden, under
the charge Of William Saunders; and
his management Of pear trees is wor-
thy Of note. It is simply to plant on
good ground, give fair and clean cul-
ture, and let them grow. Pinching,
pruning, and all those scientific and
complicated directions derived from
the French, and adopted by our Or
chaFdists, he considers worse than use
less, for he attributes blight and other
diseases 70 this treatment, Whether
right or wrong he has an argument
in his favor which ought to weigh

8. HUSBAND YOUR TIME.-Of all
our prodigalities, the squapdering OF
hours and dsys is most universal and
peFnicious. Three fourths Of our race
lavish their hours as though this life
were to last forever, and the waste OF
to-day might readily be renewed by
the diligence Of tO-morrowi when, in
fact, q day lost is rarely redeemsd and
never recovered. And l judge the
waste OF time In youth more prevalent
than in later years. Young friend!
keep watch over yours! IL 1 could
only persuade you to set down in
diary each night the wasted hours Of
the preceding day, am sure that
reflection and remorse would soon
work out In you q radical reform.

A SPECIMEN SERMnN.

1t bears internal evidence of genu-
ineness. In respect of style, Il ia
worthy Of study. It Is broken up into
short, simple sentences. It contains
no superduous words. It employs
the language Of real life. 1t Is per-
fectly natural. It has considerable
variety. It is both pointed and prae-
tical. 1t seems to have been extern
porsneous, if one may judge by the
peroration. Few preachers are favor
ed with so good q reporter. We are
indebted to Harper's Bdz0r for CODY,
Here IL is, with the published preface
and appendix:
We know a little fellow, not far
from five years cid, whose father is a
clergyman, and the child sometimes
amuses himself by playing "ehureh." /"
One Sunday he got his little chair
and table and books, and commenced
his service, content 70 have only the
partial attention Of the other children
who were in the room. AFTER singing
hymn the boy began his sermon, his
words being apparently suggested in
part by the pictures in his book, and
by what he saw about him in the
room. A lady in the family ehaneed
TO overhear him, and took verbatim
notes as follows:
"You must be good. You mustn't
be naughty, or wicked. You must
be good. You must 90 to heaven.
You mustn't be afraid in the dark.
You mustn't cry. You mustn't kill
any udder man. You must be good
boy. You mustn't do any thing 10
any boy when he does something bad
to you. You must come right away
from him. You must just kiss him
and not look at him any more. Yeu
mustn't go by any naughty boy. You
must be kind to horses. You must do
what your mudder tells you. You
mustn't steal raisins. Surprising you
are q baby. You mustn't cry. You
must laugh. You mustn't hit any
body. If you are q boy you must be
elegant. You mustn't steal flowers in
any udder body's garden. Supposing
you knew a lady-Miss LizZie-you
mustn't take any OF her flowers with
out asking. Babies must never cry.
Men must never be drunkenfJ and
boys must never be wicked; and dogs
must never bite a man; and fish
don't kick-a fish-h-don't walk
what does II dOY'
And here . little break occurred to
the discourse In rejecting upon the
duties Of a fish; so we will end our
notes, which we have given, believing
that the little sermon contains more
good lessons than. many which are
listened to every Sunday, and that it
will be Of some interest to mothers Of
other small preachers.

The AlabaAa and Shenandoah Claims
In the EaEiish Parliament.

In the British House Of Commons
on the 18th ultimo, Mr.. .GOurley asked
the First Lord Of the Treasury IL he
would state TO the House the nature oi
the powers delegated by Her Msjes-
| ty's government 70 the Angio-Amsri-
can Commission, and IL the Commits
sion was empowered TO close all claims
for and against this country arising
out Of the sailing Of the Alabama and
Shenandoah.
Mr.. Gregory asked, in continuation
Of Mr.. GOurlsy's question, whether
the Commission was empowered 70
abandon, without previous reference
to arbitration, the position hitherto
maintained by England Of non.lia-
bility for ravages by the Alabama.
Mr.. Gladstone-I came down to the
House, after carefully looking into
the matter, prepared TO give an an
sWer to the question, Of which notice
has been given, and / will give q dis
dnet answer to IL; but / should not
wish TO answer the question Of the
honorable member for Galway with
out having frst taken time for con-
alteration, lest by answering hastily
l might produce an unfair impress
sion neither do I consider Ii is expe-
dent ct the present time for the pub
lie interest that Ishould doso. IHear,
hear. With regard to the frst quss-
ton, 1 understand it to refer to two
sub ects-the hrst as to the extent Of
the subject matter that would be COW
cred by the powers given to the Com
missioners, and next to the nature Of
those powerS. My honorable friend
viii find the latter part Of his qRes-
ton is answered with perfect clear
ness, and in q manner cannot i'm
prove, IN 3 passage IN Her Majesty's
speech on the opening Of the present
session, viz; This arrangement will.
by common consent, include sll claims
Of compensation which have been, or
may be made by each government, or
by its citizens, upon the Other."-
Then with respect to the power OF the
Commissioner, I will read two pas
sages from the instructions given
them. The first commences by stat
ing that they are appointed for the
purpose Of discussing in q friendly |
spirit With the Commissioners TO be |
appointed By the government OF the |
United States the various points on |
which differences have arisen between |
Great Britain and the United States;
and then it treats of their amicable 1
arrangement. Another instruction is
that - Her Asiesty's government re-
quest, however, that II the mode OF
dealing with any particular matter
which you nay be disposed to agree
10 should differ materially from the
OF settlement Of which I have
informed you. and to which Her Ma
esty's government Sre prepared at
1nce TO assent, or on any disagree
nent Of Importance occurring be-
,ween you and the American Com

The Story Of An Advertiser.

It Is we'll known that DR.. H. T.
Hslmbold is one Of the most extensive
and successful advertisers In the COM
try. The history Of his career is thus
briefly told.
Henry T. Helmbold was born in the
city Of Philadelphia, December, 1892.
His parents being In moderate cir
cumstancss, he was anxious that he
should commence learning his hY-
ing" and by unaided exertious he
prepared himself for the High School
where he finished his literary and
classical studies, graduating with the
highest honoFs At the age Of nineteen
subsequently be became enamored OF
the study Ofchemistry, and, after ta-
king his degree, he pursued his pri-
vate studies and elementary practice
under the preceptOrship Of an old
and competent physician and chemist.
About this time he embarked in the
business in q small way, and commen-
ced the manufacture of his now cele-
bEated Fluid Extracts. They had at
that time but limited sale, as il re
quired considerable effort to bring
them to the notice Of physicians. At
this time extracts were sold in bulk,
as ''paregoFfc," ''sirup OF squills,n
and other compounds. His business
increased In this way, but the protee-
ton offered him was very slight.
For instance, a druggist receiving a
physician's prescription for his arti-
Gle would, in many cases, substitute
that Of his own manufacture, thereby
causing difficulty between the praeti-
toner and himself Learning this,
and seeing that his interests were be-
coming jeOparded, he concluded eth
er not 20 sell to dealers In bulk, notify
physicians Of his determination, and
be satisfied to remain an obscure drug
gist in the upper part Of . large city,
or adopt some entirely different meth
cd. he was aware OF singular preju-
dices existing against advertised rem
edies and in truth had but limited
means at his command to experiment
in "printeBi ink.n About this time
he received an offer for his drug store,
and disposed Of It, The negotiation
was no sooner concluded than. with
few hundred dollars as his cash capi-
tai, he rented 3 small office on Chest
Philadelphia, and was ready
for bushes in few days. Advertising
TO him was 3 new and untFied field, /
but with his small capital he deter
mined to know its merits and value I
for even at that early date he was
no hand, to loiter-so he concluded that. |
be would satisfy himselfin one month. |
He manufactured q small stock, and I
expended all his surplus cash, amount |
ng 70 about s.. 900, in that short per-
cd. His programme worked admi- 4
ably, and from that time he contin- |
led to succeed, and increased his ad-
in . corresponding proper
ion. On these principles he has con-
inued to enlarge and expand his busi-
less until it has assumed its present
magnitude. In the year 1886. he de-
ermined to remove to Gotham"
where he could have q larger field for
lis operations, still retaining his lab
,rat6ry in Philadelphia. Here he in
tailed himself in his drug and ehemi-
al warehouse, 5e4 Broadway. to
which he has been making additions
nd Improvements from time to time
> was actually necessary, consequent
N the enormous increase Of his busi-
less.

Whole No. 2S41,
VARIETY OF DEATHS.

Asno two lives have ever been alike
on earth, 80 no two deaths nave ever
been. There is as vast variety IL
mems dying as in their living.
There are deaths that, apart from
all regrets and sorrows, impress Us
with a painful sense Of discOrd. Tney
come before the work Is done. ihe
story is broken of. The drama mas
no close. The music Jars into sudden
diseOrd, and ends. We stand ABOUT
the grave, and from the earthly side
there is a blank sense Of incomplete
ness. We are cheated by promise
that was never filed. There Is an
other confusion amid the many con-
fusiOns of this lower world another
discomfort, with its apparent lack OF
purpose.
Such are always the deaths Of chill
dren and the very young. With no
vision Of another world, where the
great God Of all worlds has work and
uses, these deaths seem utterly unrea-
sOnable.
And we may add to these deaths
| in opening manhood, Just when the
hand has learned its cunning and the
brain has gained its strength when,
to the young man with promise OF
noble results and high courage, hope
and principle, death comes and ends
the story before the first page is writ
ten, takes the tools away and sus-
pends the labor before the first blow
is struck.
And beside these, the deaths that
come in middle life, when tied to
family and friends and social duties,
the center Of thousand Interests
with his work all about him unhn.
ished-a work he is doing wei by all
mems judgment-a work which we
think none but he can do so well, or,
it may be, do at all-death summons
man in the midst Of his highest
uses and most splendid successes, and
all is broken of in the midst and
left fragmentary and chaotic. To the
deepest sense Of loss there is added
this urther strain upon the intellect,
to bear loss that from this side seems
needless and irrational.
These deaths may come suddenly,
by slow decay, or by the accident, as
we call it, of a moment; but they are
none the less to our reason q shock,
and contradiction to our sense of
fitness. We call them untimely
Deaths" unreasonable in doing so,
but that we are taught by faith, and
not by sight.
Again, there are deaths that come
upon US with a sense of completed
harmOny-deathst that end lives as the
sunset ends the day; deaths when the
work is done, when the story Is all
told, when the long, full days travel
is finished. Youth prepared for the
work in a faithful prenticehOOd man
hood did the work like q master. Pa
tiently, as the years passed, the ap-
pointed duty was fulfilled, the pre-
seribed burden borne. And now, at
last, all finished, death comes to sum
mon the labOrer to his rest.
These are the deaths to thank God
for-these deaths that end long and
fruitful life with a perfect close. They
come with the calmness Of summer
sunsets, that end the day with the
dreamy regret Of the Indian summer
that ends the year. They seem 10 be-
long to the diyiner harmOnies Of the
other world, to be visitation Of Gods
eternal order here among the uneer-
tainties and eOnfusiOns Of time.
