Costly EXDerimentS,

The work of repairing the armor-
clad turret- ship Citation, and making
good the injuries she received when
under fire from the guns of the Hot
spur, during the recent experimental
trials in the English channel, if carried
out will cost IA much larger sum than
was originally contemplated when the
experiments were decided uron. Since
the Citation has been in the dock at
Chatham thorough survey of her has
been made, and an estimate formed of
the sum to be expended i'll her repairs,
the result showing that these will in
volve an expenditure of about S65, 900,
which is by no means certain will not
be exceeded.

Relieved.

Stfong, sweet tide toward the lonely shore
Sets steadfastly, till every inlet sings,
ana TO the waiting silence, blank before
Its deep refreshment brings.
Through the days business passing TO and
fro,
Ever she grows more conscious of the charm
That blesses Wheresoever she may 90.
Like some enfolding arm.
For this dear joy all days more fair do seem
The nights repose more blssful an more
deep,
As pillowed on the breast of this sweet dream,
Softly she falls asleep.
Safe is she, lifted all earth's ills above;
No storm can break her calm, no power can
reach
Within the charmed circle drawn by Love,
Blest beyond thought or speech.
O., maiden, dream thy dream Life's crown
thorns,
Draw it not down. unseen, about thy brows;
The glory of thy summer ewes and morns
Stern winter shall espouse.
Within the Eden of thy sweet content
No mortal stays-that the great gods forbid;
But canst thou learn in thy Punishment
A greater good lies hid?

Making Use of Candidates for Office.

A Georgia paper tells a good story of
one of the candidates for County Sher-
iff in that State. The candidate, a
physician, lately stopped to talk with
a man, who with his two daughters
was pulling fodder, and the doctor, in
order to keep alongside of him, com.
menced pulling the fodder in the
row he was walking in. When he
got fairly settled down to it, the farmer
says: FExcuse me minute while
step oyer to the house--you
just knock along with the girls
here" and he left. At this the
girls just made the fodder fly, going
down the rows IN double-quick time.
The doctor manfully went in, hand over
hand, shucked his coat and did his
level best. He painted, he sweated,
and yet he showed along under the
broiling sun while the farmer was in
his piazza with his pipe lit, taking it
cool, and laughing IN his sleeves. IN
about an hour he went out to the field
and released the doctor. They say the
doctor never limited "Sheriff to him,
but jerked up his coat and left; and
now he don't go in fodder fields for
votes--he lodges 'em.

A Hog Story.

From the Oshkosh Northwestern Tuesday.
This morning the 8 o'clock train
created considerable interest as it
neared the depot. There upon The top
fiat surface of the cowcatcher, sat a
large fat hog, in utter disregard of ali
train regulations, and no ticket in his
hat either. The hog had evidently
been scooped up on the road, and being
forced up to his present position, had
quietly sat down determined to have
free ride as far as he could. He sat
there as cool as hog on cow

Whittier's New Poem.

QUAKER MEETING IN THE oLDEN TINE.
The following is an extract from John G. .
Whittier's new poem, The Pennsylvania
Pilgrim, to be published in Boston this
month. The scene is laid two hundred years
ago, before the followers of William Penn had
built meeting houses
There, through the gathered stiffness multi
piled
And made intense by sympathy, outside
The sparrows sang, and the gold robin cried.
4 swing upon his elm. A faint perfume
Breathed through the open windows of the
room
From locust trees, heavy with clustered bloom.
Thither, perchance, sore-tried professors
came,
Whose fervor jail nor pillory could tame,
Proud of the cropped ears meant to be their
shame.
Men who had eaten slavery's bitter bread
In Indian isles; pale women who had bled
Under the hangman's lash, and brayely said
Gods message through their iron prison bars !:
And gray old soldier converts scanned with
scars
From every stricken field of England's wars.
Lowlv before the Unseen Presence knelt
Each waiting heart, till haply some one felt
On his moved lips the seal of silence melt;
Or without spoken words, low breathing stole
OF diviner life from soul to soul,
Baptizing IN one tender thought the whole.
Unvexed the sweet air seemed. Without a
wound
The ear of silence heard, and every sound
It's place in Natures fine accordance found.
And solemn meeting, summer sky and wood,
Old kindly faces, youth and maidenhood,
Seemed, like Gods new creation, very good!

The thing which is advertised must have intrinsic
merit, else large advertising will eventually do it
more harm than good. If you have any thing which
you know to be good, adcete 1t thoroughly, and you
will be sure to succeed if is poor, don't praise it,
