He knows the summer comes, for now
The pleasant south wind seeks his brow
He hears the II litter and the song
OF building birds the whole day long;
To him the violet odor blows; =
To him the breath Of budding rose,
And hint of the magnolia's bloom
To him forever inthe gloom. ill o,
But not for him the .dewy morn
Hangs heaven upon the idle thora;
But not for him the splendid day &c 30
Dazzles the azure on its way; o:ls mi
And not for him the awfullnight ee d
Wings upward her eternal flight. =
But to be blind. and be like him,
When far away these shadows swim,
while Gods bright lilies to and fro -
Shake softly all their gold and snow;
And first he satisfies his sight
At the reatfountain Of the light,
And sees in glory and alone a
The emerald rainbow round the throne.

Nails.

A scientific journal says: When nails
are used in position in which they
are greatly subjected to air and mois-
ture, it will always pay to prepare
them in such a manner that they will
not rust. This may be accomplished
without any difficulty by heating a
quantity OF nails on a shovel and
throwing them, while quite hot, into a
vessel containing coarse oil or melted
grease. The nails should not be SO hot
that the grease will be made to smoke
freely. Cut nails prepared in this
manner are improved in every respect.
SIZE OF NAILS.
The following table will show any
one at q glance the length of the vari-
GUS sizes, and the number of nails ia q
pound. They are rated 3-penny up to
20-penny. The first column gives the
number, the second the length in
inches, and the third the number per
mound

Spain.

The debt of this land of chivalry and
romance is at present over 81 .00o, 000, 900.
The interest paid on the same is at from 2
to 5 per cent According to a report of
the Minister of the Finance, recently pub
lished, her revenues are stated to be SILL
777,l55 and her annual expenditures
l0O,67s,95. -. ~.
from sales of lands now owned by the Gov
eminent, which formerly belonged to the
churches. How long this source of rev.
enue will last is precarious. $6,000,0 900 are
squeezed from its colonies, leaving $780,
00O, 900 to be raised by direct and indirect
taxation. Of this, $35., 90, 900 are obtain
ed by direct tax on land. houses live stock,
manufactures, sales, titles of nobility, mort
cages, ETC.; SOS, 00a, 900 by indirectstax in
the form of customs, and the balance by
stamp taxes. 49, -
The expense of collecting the revenues
is enormous, as the budget Of 1869 appor-
tons over $40, 900, 900 to the Department
Finance. The expense of the National
Legislature is about $l20,000 per annum
Pensions amount to $S,0O0,00 war 800
600, O00 and interest over $50, 900, 900
yearly.
Ii it is considered that the population of
Spain is over 1900 900; that the war in
Cuba will in all probability he indefinitely
prolonged, and that almost every month
new rebellion to overthrow the present Gov
eminent of the Peninsula is announced,
her financial condition cannot be of the
most promising kind.

Cast Out and DOwncast.

The blind man that was restored by
Jesus, and cast out by the Jews, out of
the synagogue, out from the religion of
his fathers, accepted Jesus because bis
soul was cast down, and he was sought
of Jesus. Alas, how many of the cast
out and downcast of earth have failed
to accept Jesus because they were un-
sought by His representatives, even
His professed followers. Oh, that
Christians would cease fighting for the
opinions, traditions, and doctrines of
men, and follow the example Of Jesus
in seeking the cast-out and down.cast.
Then will his people come out of Baby
Ion then will the church come out of
the wilderness, as fair as the moon, as
GEAR as the sun, and as terrible as an
army with banners. Then will the
seeker and the sought be richly blest of
God.

Good Men Make Good Horses.

A horse is never vicious or intractable
without a direct cause. If horse is res
tive or humorous, you may be sure that
these faults arise from defects in his edu-
cation. He has been treated either awk-
wardly or brutally. Commence the edu-
cation of horse at his birth; accustom
him to the presence, voice and sight of
man; speak and act gently; caress him,
and do not startle him. All chastisement
or cruelty confuses the animal, and make
him wild. They are good men who make
good horses,

Indian Rivers.

As an illustration of the extent to which
Indian rivers are apt to change their
courses it is stated stated since 1885 the
Brahmaputra has shifted its main channel
nearly two hundred miles westward, ruin
ing many ancient cities and giving birth
to new centres of trade and population
Thus Sonargaog, the old capital of Ben
gal, deserted by the Brahmaputra River,
has been reduced TO mean village. while
Serajganj, on the new channel, has become
a vast trading mart These changes in
river channels, it is believed. produce the
malarial fevers common in the low-lying
districts of India.

Cooley Corn in Florida.
The Department Report says:

Cooley corn has succeeded we'll in
Florida. Mr.. J. d. Wolfe, of Pensacola,
says that he marketed his product two
weeks in advance of all the other corn,
and that-for early maturity and productive
ness it is unrivaled in that section. On
one-sixth OF an acre, although the season
was favorable, he raised enc hundred and
ten dozen ears of good size, which Melted

pea product, corn-fodder and forage at the
rate of two tons to the acre, the ground

Sand Paper.

The american Builder gives the fol-
lowing method of making sand paper of
superior quality, at almost nominal
cost. The device for making sand pa
per is simple, and at hand to any one
who has occasion to use the paper. A
quantity of ordinary window glass is
taken-that having green color is said
to be the best and pounded fine, after
which it is poured through one or more
sleeves of different degrees of fineness to
secure the glass for coarse or fine paper.
Then any tough paper is covered evenly
with glue, having about one third more
water than is generally employed for
wood work. The glass is sifted upon
the paper, allowed a day or two in which
to become fixed in the glue, when the
refuse glass is shaken of, and the paper
is fit for use. This sand paper costs
little, and is better than that ordinarily
bought, in which sand is frequently
mingled with the glass. -.

IL HIS excellent work on How to Ed
ucate Yourself Geo. Cary Eggeston says
that the present Editor of the Atlantic
Monthly, W.D. Howells, scholar, poet,
an author and critic: with certainly very
few if any superiors in America, left school
to learn trade at ten, and has never
had master since. He also says: DIR.
Franklin was a wise man and an able one,
and Mr.. Greeley has achived a great sue
cess in his profession. Elihu Burriit learn
ed good deal about languages while at
the forge, and Robert Collyer has not for
gotten how to make horseshoe while he
has been learning how to preach an elo-
quent sermon" All these men, be thinks
would have been earlier successful if they
had had in early life the advantages of
a regular training.

KEEPING FISH FRESH WITH SUGAR.-A
method adopted in Portugal for preserving
fish consists in removing the viscera and
sprinkling sugar over the interior, keeping
the fish in horizontal position, SO that the
sugar may penetrate as much as possible.
1t is said that fish prepared in this way can
be kept completely fresh for long time,
the favor being as perfect as if recently
caught One tablespoonful of sugar is
sufficient for apound fish.

Rat-Proof Corn Crib.


A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette says he arrapges. as follows to
make it rat proof:
Let his four corner posts be eight
inches square; frame tses stills which
are TO support the floor of the corn crib;
into the posts at q distance of two feet
from the lower end. Before putting
the frame togsther, taper the lower
ends of the posts for the distance of
two feet, 30 that at the very base the
posts shall be only four inches square.
Now when the, frame IL. set up set
these posts also stand on tapered rocks.
II the crib needs more than these four
to bear up the corn that will be put
into it, make legs like the lower por-
tons OF these posts, and set the legs
under the stills. Now lay the joists or
sleeperS on tie stills, and put on the
floor, making the latter tight, and
which will be about three feet from
the ground. Have the door made tight
and keep it shut, and no rats will get
into your crib. s-a- f7ca

windows, and then, o housewife, keep your,
blinds open during the the day, and your
curtains drawn aside. If you let in the
sun freely it may '.fade your carpets, but
if you do not it will be sure to cause i'll
health to the mothers and children. The
sun is a good physician. He has never
had due credit for his curative qualities
for the bright eyes and ROSY cheeks that
come from his healing bath. Do you
know how puny is the growth of the pota-

Such is the health of human beings living,
where the sun, is intercepted by the win

only gloomy, but it is physically unwhole-

cheerfulness and strength? A dark room

Gasolene, Naphtha. and Benzlne more
Dangerous than GunpOwdeT.

Professor C.. +. Chandler, in the
american Chemist, says:
1t is not possible to make gasolene,
naphtha, or benzine safe by any addi-
ton that can be made to it. Nor is
any oil safe that can be set on fire at
the ordinary temperature of the air.
Special lamps, some of them of very
elegant design, have been introduced
for burning the liquid gas (naphtha).
They are all provided with a reservoir
for the dangerous fluid, and a burner
by which it is vaporized and burns
like gas.
The apathy of the public in regard
to this matter is beyond my compre-
hension. These facts are well known
in every community, and yet, though
it is now twelve or thirteen years since
this class of oils came into general use,
we have as yet no adequate legislation
for the protection of life or property.
Nothing but the most stringent laws,
making it State prison offence to mix
naphtha and Illuminating oil, or to sell
any product of petroleum, as an illu-
minating oil or fluid to be used in lamps
or to be burned except in air gas ma
chimes, that willevolve an infiammable
vapor below l000 Fab, or better, i10o
Fab, will be effectual in remedying
the evil. In case of an accident from
the sale of oil below the standard, the
