1T NEVER PAYS.

1t never pays to fret and growl,
When fortune seems our foe;
The better bred will push ahead
And strike the brave blow. g..
For luck is work,
And those who shirk
Should not lament their doom,
But yield the play
And clear the way
That better men have room.
1t never pays to wreck the health
In drudging after gain,
And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is cheapest bought with pain.
An humble lot, .,...
A cosy cot, ......
Have tempted even kings,
For station high,
That wealth will buy,
Not oft contentment brings.
1t never pays blunt refrain
Well worthy Of a song,
For age and youth must learn this truth
That nothing pays that's wrong.
The good and pure
Alone are sure
To bring prolonged success, @s
While what is right,
- In Heavens sight
Is always sure to bless.

alone in the aute-room of tho lodge.
Il was a lively and cheerful apart
ment. A couple of crocodiles we're
amusing themselves in the corner, aud
. full grown rattlesnake were prac.
ticing the flying trapczs on the stove
pipe. The furniture consisted chiefly
Of half dozen mummics, the skeletons
Of Capt. Kidd, Lusrctia Borgia, Guy
Fawkos, Jack the Giant Killer, Oil
yer Cromwell, the Wandering Jew
William the Conqueror, Christopher
Columbus and Dick Turpin; a flying
machine, three barrels Of gunpowdcr,
and remarkably healthy aud we'll
developed wild cat.
just then half a dozen pirates, clad
in aprons and sashes, rushed into the
room with swoop. One of them the
biggest and uglicst, who appeared to
be the chief, ordered the attendants,
in voice ofthundcr, to trot out the
animal. The attendants disappear
ed, but Immediately reappoared
leading in an iron-slad goat, rcgu-
lar double-deeker, with sixteen horns,
two wings, and seven or eight tails
stuck all over him. Ny eyes we're
bandaged and I was told to mount.
l said, "Gentlemen, if you'll excuse
me, [ would rather not. I'm not
accustomed to going up in a bal
LOOM besides, I've got an engage
men down town. My wife wants
to see me particularly. TIL be back
in five minutes, yes, gentlemen, in
few" Before l could finish my
sentence, was seized from behind
and planted firmly astridc of the in.
fernal goat. .4.
Somebody said let 60; and away
We went. I've been through good
many perilous scenes: I've taken part
in an election fight; I've been down
in railway collision, and up in a
steamboat explos;on;I'v fallen down
three pairs of stairs, and walked out
Of a fourth story window but this
goat excursion was ahead Of them all.
When come to reflect on the mat
tcrs in cold blood I wonder that l
came out alive. The furious beast
kicked and screamed, and rolled over,
and turned back somcrsaults and
front somersaults, and drove me
against the ceiling and underneath
the chairs, till the bandagc fell from
my eyes, and l had to let 60. The
goat vanished up the chimney in
blue fame, and I found myself in the
centre Of the lodge room, with about
fifty Masens in aprons, and nothing
else, danced a war dance around me !.
The rest Of the members were
standing OIL their heads in the differ
ent corners, all but the. csdaverous-
looking buchaneer, who seemed to be:
the head Of the department.. Soon
they left off dancing, and marched
round the room to an inspiriting
dirge. l was then hauled up in front
Of the chiefs desk, who thus address
ed me: "Brother Kobb, you are now
one of us. You are now a member of
an institution that has lasted over
three million of years. You are
waterproof and fre-proof; you are
over prsof. You can work through

Truth that is Stranger than Fiction.

The nomination of the Hon. Charles Sumner
for Governor of Massachusetts,, by the Demo-
cratic and Liberal Republican Conventions, is
ono of the most curious political anomalies to
which the present chaotic condition of parties
has given rise. While it is a striking illustra-
ton Of the fact that politics like misery make
strange bedfelows, it also demonstrates the
sincerity and earnestnesS with which the Mas
sachusetts democrats have accepted the liberal
republican alliance and thsir willingness to
clasp hands" over political "chasm" which
if not bloody has been always very wide aud
deep. Mr.. Summer a whig originally, and
afterwards all abol.ionist, bearing the demo-
cratic standard which at Tho last election was
borne by John Quincy Adams, is one Of those
events which it required the oYerturnings and
up-heavalS of the present canvass to bring to
pass. The rest of the State ticket with the
exception of the nomination for Secretary Of
State is made up exclusively Of democrats.-
The Liberal Republican Convention which uni
ted with tue democrtic in the formation of the
ticket was presided over by Gen. n. P Banks
With Sumner and Banks on one side and
Grant and Butler on the other, it must be said
that The issue in Massachusetts, is fairly made
up, and the popular verdict will be looked for
with interest not unmingled with curiosity

Care of the Eyes.

Their, eyes weak for life by the too free use of

Observs the following rules in the use OF tho
eyes: a.,,..
Avoid all sudden changes between light and
darkness.
Never read by twilight on very cloudy
day.
Never sleep so that on waking tho eyes
shall open on the light Of the window.
Do not use the eyesight by light SO scant
that it req uires an effort to discriminate
Never read or sew directly in front Of the
light Of the window or door.
1t is b-st to have light fall from above OBJ
liqusly over the loft shoulder.
Too much light creates glare and pain and
confuses the sight. The moment you are sen
sibe Of an effort TO distinguish, that moment
stop and talk, walk or ride
As the sky is blue and the earth green, it
would seem that the ceiling should be blush
tinge, the carpet green, and the walls Of some
mellow tint
The moment you are instnctivcly prompted
to rub the eyes, that moment cease using
them.
II the eyelds are glued together on waking
do not forcibly open them but apply the sail
va with the finger aud then wash your eyes
and face with warm water.

Voices of the Loved Ones.


In the mountains ofths Tyrol It's the custom
Of the women and children to come out when
it is bedtime TO sing their national songs until
they heap their husbands, fathers and brothers
answer them from the hills on their return
home. On the shores Of the Adriatic such
custom prevails. There all the wives Of the
fisherman come down about sunset and sing &
melody, After singing the first stanza they
listen awie for the answering strain from Of
the water and continue to sing and listen til
the well known voices come borne on the tido
telling that the loved ores arc almost home
How sweet to the weary fisherman as the shad-
cws gather round them must bo the songs Of
the loved ones at home who sing 10 cheer him I;
and how they strengthen and tighten The bonds
that bind together these humble dwelIsrs by
the sea Truly, it is among the lowly in
this world that we fad some Of the most beau
tiful customs in practice.
