The Green COuntryman.

Years ago, into q wholesale grocery
store in Boston walked a tall, museu-
lar-looking, raw-bOned man, evident
ly a fresh-cOmer from some back town
in Maine or New Hampshire. Ac-
costing the first person he met, who
happened to be the merchant himself,
he asked:
"YCu don't want to hire man in
your store, do your
"Well," said the merchant, 81
don't know what can you do?
"DOr' said the man, Il rather
guess L can turn my hand to most
anything. What do you want dOUe?"
"Well, if was to hire a man, it
would be one that could life well, u
strong, wiry fellOw-One, for instance,
that could shoulder a sack of coffee,
| like that one yOnder, and carry it
across the store and never lay it down.
''There, now, captin," said our
cOuntryman. CHATS just me. What
will you give man that can suit

/ ifif YOU will shoulder that sack Of eOf-
fee and carry it across the store twice
and never lay it down. [ viii hire
you for a year at 500 per MONTH"
"DOne," said the stranger; and by
/ this time every clerk in the store had
gathered around and were waiting To
/ Join in the laugh against the man,
who, walking to the sack, threw it
across his shoulder with perfect ease
as it was not extremely heavy, and
walking with it twice across the store,
went quietly to large hook which
was fastened in the wall, and hang
ing the sack upon it, turned to the
merchant and said:
'rThere, now; it may hang there
till dOomsday shan't never lay il
down. What shall go about, mis-.
ter? Just give me plenty to do and
500 a month, and It's all right"
The clerks broke into laugh, but Il

day the green cOuntryman IS the sen

Keep 1t TO YOtrselE.

You haYe trouble; your feelings
are injured, your husband Is unkind,
your wife frets, your home IS not
pleasant, your brethren do not treat
YOU Just right, and things in general
move unpIeasantIy.
Well, what of it? keep it TO your
self. A smouldering fire can be found
and extinguished, but when the Goals
are scattered who can pick them up
Fire-brands when together, can be
trodden under foot, but when tied to
tails of SampsOnis foxes, it is difficult
to tell where they will burn.
Bury your sorrow. The place FOL
sad and disgusting things is under the
ground. Charity eoyereth a multi
tude of sins. Things thus cOYered are
often cured without q scar; but when
they are once published and conhdeG
to meddling friends, taere IS no enc
to the trouble they may cause.
Keep it to yourself Troubles are
transient, and when sorrow Is neal
ed and past, what 4 comfort II Is tC

Mechanism of an Egg.

Every living creature is the product
of au egg. Some are ha:ehed with
the material body, and develop into
their predestined proportions after
birth, which is the beginning Of exist
ence with mammalia generally. Eggs,
of fishes are ordinarily incubated by
solar heat. Birds furnish the heat
necessary to quicken the germ into
life from their own bodies, with u few
exceptions. Whether rhinocerOs, a
hippOpCtamus, 3 giraffe, an elephant
or u flea, their beginning is an egg.
The germ of the future being is fed on
the fluids by which it is surrounded.
Out of the albumen or the white Of a
common pullet's egg, for example, are
built up skeleton, Il nervous system,
a heart, lungs, brain, blood vessels,
every muscle, and the elements oil
each individual feather;while the yOlB
is q magazine of food on which the
chick is 10 be nOurished a short time
after it leaves the shell. To do that il
is taken into the body Of the bird in
the course Of incubation. Its envel-
Oping mem brane is elongated into a
tube communicating with the stOm-
ach, through which the nutriment is
conducted to where il can be used.
When that supply is exhausted then
the mother commences 4 regular sys-
tenn Of nursing and feeding until
grown aud maJured for providing for

BEAUTIFUL CHILD.
BY TIE AUTHOR or "BEAUTIFUL
SNOW"

beautiful child by the mothers knee,
In the mystic future what wllt thou be?
\ demon OF sin, or an angel sublime-
4 poisonous upas, or innocent thyme
A spirit OF evil flashing down
With the lurid light Of a fiery crown
Or gliding mp with shining track,
Like the morning star that ne'er looks back.
Daintiest dreamer that ever smiled,
Which wilt thou be, my beautiful child I?
Beautiful child in my garden bowers,
Friend OF the butterflies, birds and flowers
Pure as the sparkling crystalline stream,
Jewels OF truth in thy fairy eyes beam,
Was there even a whittier soul than thine,
Worshiped by love in mortal shrinei
Ny heart thou hast gladdened for two sweet
years
With rainbows of hope through mists OF
tears
Mists beyond which the sunny smile,
with its halo OF glory beams an the while.
Beautiful child, to thy look is given
y gleam serene-not TO earth, but TO heaven,
With thy tell-tale eyes and prattling tongue,
Would thou cOuld'st ever thus be young,
Like the liquid strain OF the mocking bird,
From stair 10 hall thy voice is heard;
How oft in the garden hooks thou'rt found
With flowers thy curly head around,
And l1neeling beside me with finger so
quaint
Oh who would not dote on my infant saint!
Beautiful child, what thy fate shsU be,
Perchance, is wisely hidden from me;
4 fallen star thou mays leave my side,
And OF sorrow and shame become the
bride,
Shivering, quiyering, thro' the cold street.
With curse behind and before thy feet,
Ashamed TO live, and afraid 10 die;
No home, no friend, and pltiless sky.
Merciful Father-my brain goes wild
Oh keep from evil my beautiful child!
''BeautifuI child, may'st thou soar above,
a warbling cherub of joy and love;
A drop on eternity's mighty sea,
a blossom on life's immortal tree
Floating, Towering everInore,
In the blessed light of golden shore.
And as gaze on tLy sinless bloom
And thy radiant face, they dispel my gloom;
1 feel He viii keep thee undefiled.
And His love protect my beautiful child"

Two Mares at EnmIty.

Mr.. Thomas Fitzpatrick put his two
mares tC the pole early in the spring.
As both are good steppers they prom
ise to make a rapid team. Both are
hiph-strung, ana each seems to have
a GOOD opinion of herself. The two
were courteously polite to each ot19r,
but there was no strong display OF al
fection. While gently driving IN
Central Park one day, the sorrel mare
made an awkward step, and cut the
bay mare in the ankle. The accident
appeared to stir up bad blood. Mad
dened with rage the bay mare DIT the
sorrel, and this act of hostility was
quickly resented. The mares now
forget their politeness, and each strug-
gles to inflict as much injury on the
other as possible. On arriving at the
stables and being detached from the
wagon, instead of walking quietly 70
( their stalls, they turn upon each oth-
er with great fury, and engage IN 9
savage fight. They were separated
with great difficulty. But now 1t i'
out of the question to drive them TO
gether. When they come in sight o
each other their eyes flash and nos
/ trIIs snort defiance. If left to them
selves they would surely engage II
conflict bitter and remorseless IN tn
extreme.-1taJ, Field and Farm.

The New York Independent talks
plainly to the Philosopher Of Chappa-
qua. In the course Of a severe article
entitled "AIr. Greeley's Apostaey," +"
the Independent says:
We wish to do no injustice to the
Cincinnati candidate and the present
applicant for Democratic votes; yet
we regard his position in respect to
the Ku Klux question as very grave
matter. 1t is much more serious than
his tergiversatiOn in reference to the
theory Of protective tariff. 1t Is
much graver than his personal hostil-
itv TO General Grant, or his abandon
ment of the Republican party because
he could not control its nominations
at least so far as one man is concerned
THESE things are sufficient TO discred'
| il all his claims as q Republican, yel
thew are less Objectionable sthan De
present political dalliance with th'
avowed and undisguised enemies 0

ed and declared TO be both necessary

WOrB-Out Bibles.

A controversy is being carried on
in the columns of the London Record
as to what ought to be done with
worn.Out Bibles. Burning has been
suggested, but the sentimental Objee-
ton to this mode of disposal is adj
mitted, and the alternative proposed
Of sending the worn sheets to the pa
per mills to be melted down and
made over again. In recent issue a
correspondent advocates selling old
Bibles for waste paper as ''rather an
effective way Of circulating the Holy
Scriptures" The writer adds: II
found a Roman Catholic servant OF
mine, one winters evening, reading
somewhat seriously a piece Of printed
paper, sOiled, and worn looking.
watched my opportunity to ascertain
what it was, when, TO my surprise,
found it was q leaf of Bible, which
she had just brought in from the
neighbOring chandler, wrapped round
some mold candles. 1t was part o.
the Acts of the Apostles, containing
st Paul in Prison, Saying what shall
do to be saved@ etc. Now had tbal

would never have fallen into the
hands of one forbidden to search th'

The Liberal Increment.

The opponents of Grants admins
tration are moving heaven and earth
to overthrow it. The worst element
of the South, ths se1m Of the North,
the regulators, the disorganizers, the
moral jackals, who prey on grave
wards and feed fat on slander, false
hood. and corruption, are received
with open arms, into the new party,
that has but one motto on its banners,
Anything to beat Grant" Keep il
M. gentlemen! The honest millions
have met the same crowd before, and
the old result will be duplicated IN
November next The grand old party
of freedom, whose banners are un-
stained; whose ranks are filled with
honest patriots; whose triumpha!
march is the march Of justice and civ
ilization, will win a victory, under l5'
trusted leader, over which the friends
of freedom everywhere will rejoice.
