WAsHINGToN never made speech In the
zenith of his fame he once attempted 1t, failed,
and gave 1t up confused and abashed. In
framing the Constitution of the United States
the labor was almost wholly performed in
Committee of the Whole, of which George
Washington was day after day the chairman,
and he made but two speeches during the con-
yention, of very few words each, something
like one OF Grants speeches. The convention.
however, acknowledged the master spirit, and
historians affirm that had it not been for his
personal popularity and the thirty words of
his first speech, pronouncing it the best that
could be united upon, the Constitution would
have been rejected by the people Thomas
Jefferson never made speech. He could
not do it. Napoleon, whose executive ability
is almost without parallel, said that his
greatest difficulty was in finding men of deeds
rather than words When asked how he
maintained his influence over his superiors in
age and experience when commander-in-chief
OF an army in Italy, he said 'by reserve" The
greatness of man is not measured BY the
length of his speeches and their number. q

A Taste fer Reading.

Whoever has taste for reading need never
be .rithout a companion. Not only that. but
safe one, provided virtue and intelligence
go with such . taste. The storm may howl
outside, but still the hours chime on pleasant
ly. They are to be pitied who lack this re.
source. They are Indeed at the mercy of
excitements, and deprived of these, weari-
ness and discomfort are their sure portion.
Above all, to the young people of both sexes
In our cities, is taste for reading blessing.
We are glad that books and newspapers are
SO cheap, that even thOss who are limited in
purse may yet indulge this taste freely.

The Arctic Raft.

The Alaska Herald says; ."tThe ingen-
iously constructed India rubber raft, on
which Mr.. Octave Pavy proposes to travel in
the Arctic waters, in search of the North
Pole, Is composed of four keel-shapedI cylin-
ders, fastened together on the decks by wood
en- Stats, to which the necessary masts and
rigging are attached. It was designed by the
inventor as a life-boat, to be carried on ves-
sells and used in case of fire or shipwreck.
1t is SO small that it occupies very little room
in fact, Mr., Pavy carries his packed in a
barrel. such a raft cannot be capsized, and
will float in the severest storm. II will carry
about 10000 pounds of freight besides the
crew. Capt Mikes, who accompanies Mr..
Pavy, has crossed the Atlantic In fourteen
days ON the same raft" "2a es&a9,# 9IIfr

THE Arizona Miner is evidently in earnest.
1t says: ''Arizona bleod is up. Our people
have borne with Apaches, Mexicans, Indian
sympathizers and their subsidized tools long
enough, and the first thing these villainous
rascals know will be that forbearance has
ceased to be a virtue The Mexican residents
OF this Territory, can control the cold-blooded
assassins of Sonora, or, at lease, notify us of
their presence, and, unless they do so in
future, a terrible retribution awaits them and
the people of the State from which they came.
Sonora is not far off, and even now, Ameri-
cans, with clenched teeth, threaten vengeance
upon that State for the many murders and
robberies committed by its blanketed cut
throats. Look well to the south, Arizonians."

- In little Vermont town, the Methodist and
Universalist denominations combined to build
o chapel, which is occupied in the morning
by the former, and by the latter in the even
ing. A few weeks since the aUniyersaiist
pastor asked the Methodist minister 10, an
nounce that the evenings discourse would be
on .'rhe Death If the Devil" Tie sturdy
follower of John Wesley, irritated by this
summary taking-off of parsonage of the
utmost value for soaring sinners into sanctity,
reyenged himself by saying from his pulpit:
This evening, my friends, there Is to be
funeral in this house. One neculiarity about
the service win be that the son breaches his
fathers funeral Sermon" The church is now
closed, until the pending lawsuit gives all
OF 1t to one or the other sect; and the Uniyer-
salist clergyman believes that, il there Is any
man too wicked to be saved, 1t is his Metho-
dist t'brother." ss Az, gst,a,st' 90, -I,.,--.TT

BATHING. Many persons have lost their
lives by getting chilled in the process of
bathing; sometimes by being into the bath
too soon after eating. No person should take
any kind of bath sooner than three hours
after regular meal, and the room should
show heat of seventy five degrees of Fab
renheits thermometer, at about five feet above
the floor in the middle of the room, in order
to avoid dangerous chills; persons of feeble
circulation should have the room still warm
er; if there is an uncomfortable feeling of
coldness to the body when it comes out of
the water, the room is too old.-Hat's Jour

INEXPENSIVE ORNAMENTS. There is no
more ornament inside or out of our houses 30
cheap and tasteful as plants and flowers. Few
rooms or your house, butthe beauty of flower
ing shrubs, or the living arabesque of thrifty
creeper over your door, are lessons of taste
and beauty. Indeed, suburban residences are
sadly deficient without these simple yet beau.
tifal accessories, always within the reach of
taste and refinement, no matter how empty
the purse. As the real necessities of life re-
quire the least expenditure of time and money
so these objects which tend most truly to sat
isfy the love of the beautiful in nature, within
the reach of her humblest children. 'Fh|

MILLIONS LAST POEM,

The following beautiful poem is from the Oxford
dton of Miltons works and as the work is rare and
he lines comparatively little known. we reproduce
hem:
am old and blind!
Men point at me as smitten by Gods frown,
Afflicted and deserted by my Kind;
Yet am not cast down.
am weak; yetdying,
murmur not that no longer see;
Poor, old and helpless the more belong,
Father Supreme, to Thee.
o, Mercifu One!
When men are farthest, then Thou art most near;
When men pass coldly by-my weakness shun-
Thy chariot hear!
Thy glorious face
ls leaning towards me, and its holy light
Shines In upon my lonely dwelling place,
And there Is no more night!
On my bended knee
recognize MI y Thy purpose clearly shown!
Thyself-Thyself alone.
Ihave nought to fear,
This darkness is the shadow of Thy wing,
Beneath 1t l am almost sacred; here
Can come no evil thing.
-. Oh! seem to stand
Trembling where feet of mortal never yet had BEEN
Wrapt in the radiance of Thy sinIess hand,
Which eye had never seen.
Visions como and go;
Shapes of respendant beauty round me throng;
From angels lips seem to hear the flow
OF soft and holy song.i
1t Is nothing now ,..
When Heaven is opened on my sightless eyes
When airs from Paradise refresh my brow
That earth in darkness lies.
In pure cline .... If
Ny being fills with rapture, waves Of thought
Roll In upon my spirit strains sublime
Break over me unsought.
Give me now my Tyre,
feel the stirring of gift divine;
Within my bosom gows unearthly fire,
Lit by no skill of mine.

The Newest Thing i'm RaIIrOadinr,

The new sleeping-coachcs for the Erie
railway will probably be put on the road when
the spring timetable takes effect. These
cars will run 10 Chicago without change, not
withstanding. the great difference in the
gauges of the roads over which they are to
run. Over the Erie road they will, of course,
run on wheels of six-foot gauge. At Buffalo
the cars will run under hoisting machine,
which will lift the cars from the broad-gauge
trucks. Should this newest thing in railroad
ing prove successful, it will relieve the public
from many annoyances from varying railroad
gauges, of which there are five Gncluding
the "narrow-gapge') in the country. The
attempt some years ago to make car wheels
movable on their axles, so as to accommodate
different gauges, it was thought at the time
would fill the requirement; but it has not
been tried to any great extent on passenger
cars, but it has to some extent on Freight
cars, the shifting being done by running the
cars upon gradually converging, or diyerging
tracks until the narrower or broader gauge Is
reached, Then the wheels are again locked.
