A Lesson in BrGtherIy Kindness.

We have yet to see in the Southern
newspapers any expression of feeling
called forth by the Boston fire other
than the most sympathetic and kindly.
Remembering that Boston was, for a
long time, to the Southern mind, the
representative of the anti-slavery move
ment, and afterward of loyalty to the
Union and that her animus and policy
were antagonistic to the South, in a
large measure, these warm and cordial
expressions of sympathy from that
quarter call for recognition equally
pronounced and heartfelt. The dona-
ton from Chicago has been felt to be
peculiarly sympathetic and full of
meaning. But the intelligence that in
Charleston, S. c., and other places in
the South efforts are being made to send
relief to our fire sufferers, and the re-
ceipt on Saturday of check from the
late Confederate Secretary of the Treas
ury. are facts of deeper significance.
They show that political barriers and
animosities cannot stand before the
claims of brotherhood which great
calamity, like the present, brings home
to all hearts. Our brothers of the South
have taught US a lesson of brotherly
kindness which will not be easily for
gotten. Boston has a warm heart, and
knows how to appreciate generosity

What / Am.

This passage, fromTrai greatLondon
speech, is too good to be lost:
:" am, to-day, the Invest man in En-

make kings tremble, churches shake.

Mansard.

Mansard, whose roofs are the subject
of so much obloquy at present, was Su-
perintendent OF Public Buildings in the
reign of Louis XIV. 1t is told of him
that he possessed to a remarkable
amount the power of subtle fattery,
which he used to practice with great in
genuity upon the King. He would
sometimes submit plans portions of
which were purposely made SO imprac-
ticable, not to say absurd, that the King
could not avoid detecting and pointing
out the inconsistencies, whereupon
Mansard would declare that if his
Majesty had not been King he would
have made afrst-class architect, blaming
himself the while for having made such
plumbers. 1t is not stated whether the
famous roof was one of these latter, nor
whether the King took fire at it when
it was shown to him.

Pacing Horses.

In Barbary pacing horses are held in
such high estimation that the method of
making spirited trotter shackle like a
boat IN chop sea is reduced to sci
ence. To make them rack easily, ring
of lead covered with leather is put
round each hoof; cord from each
weight ascends and is fastened to the
saddle, front and rear next strap runs
horizontally from the fore to the hind
foot on both sides. Being rather short,
it is impossible to make long step.
Restraint compels the animal TO prac-
tice new gait, to progress at all. As
soon as habit is established of going
ahead thus tethered, the desirable amble
is fully and permanently accomplished.

That Little Bell.

"Gath" writes from Washington to
the Chicago Tribune:
met Ed. Webster-who used to be
Assistant Secretary of State-at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, day or two ago, and I
asked him seriously whether Seward
ever said that he had little bell which
he could ring and send man instantly,
at the touch of the bell, to Fort La
tayette or Fort Warren.
+" I'll tell you," said Webster, "just
how that happened. In familiar con-
versation between Lord Lyons and Mr..
Seward. the former contended that re-
publican forms of government gave no
power in the hands of the Executive at
the the proper time, and, therefore, while
all such liberty as ours was good enough
in time of peace, America must be
necessarily weaker than England IN
time of war. Seward said that the con-
trary was the case, and that republl-
can form of government was the strong
est of all, for war as for peace and then
he gave the illustration of the little bell.

he | can touch this bell as Secretary
of State, and, backed by general and

person on this continent, because no
man is of consequence when the whole
thing is imperiled as we see it now, and
no individuals wrongs can stop the ma

the Democratic press made a great grew

kindly, well-disposed man, and the
last person in the world to be despot."

THANKSGIVING in Olden Time.


Long life to Thanksgiving of thee will sing.
Ror green in my heart does thy memory spring;
A vision OF plenty sweeps over my eyes,
With flavor OF fowls and aroma of pies.
Twas Sunday: and from the pulpit was read,
By good P&rson Stiles what the Governor said
In his long proclamation, informing the land
The time OF Thanksgiving was nearly at hand.
remember ii we'll though summer suns pass
Ger the parsons low grave in the long tangled
Though the titning- mans knock foreveris still,
And the church passed away from its site on the
hill.
remember from Monday till Thursday at noon
Which my grandmother said was entirely too
To accomplish the pastry and garnish the feast
For the boys from the West and the girls from
the East.
There was ehopping and frying from morning
till night.
and bloody deeds done by the lanterns dim
While the great rudy blaze set the kitchen
And the well-polished pewter cleaned forth
from the bow.
1 remember how clearly the farmhouse was
How the cold, winter moon kissed the couch
where | slept:
How the fairies at midnight shot flowers on the
That dissolved in the morn like the mist on the
plain.
Then came Aunt Jerusha. who wore tall cap.
And black shining apron smoothed over her lap.
And good Uncle Nose. wko always looked shy.
And stopped short IN his speech at glance from
her eye.
There. toe, was big Luther and Mabel bis wife.
And lean Uncle Struthers. all fresh from his
strife
In the courts of TIE law. where his trouble;
appeared
lamb Of the flock, still lively, though sheared
There was bluff Tommy Ewing, and Mary. al
As the May-fowe that grew in the Sycamore

A blush which told plain what her bosom haC
said.
Then we all went TO church. and I fell fast asleep
Though l tried 70 remember the text verse t

And awoke when the rustling of feet on the foo
Proclaimed TO my ears that the service was DER.
But year after year fewer came to the farm:
Aunt Jerusha went first. and we felt withoU
To good Uncle Nose, who 10 longer looked shy,
Though he spoke Of her worth with a tear il
his eye.
Alas for the years that since then have fed
How few are the living. how many the dead,
Of those who came down IL lifes early prime.
And made glad the table of Thanksglving-tim
Should number them over at sunset tonight
Or call them around where the freside CLEAN

Ny eyes would be dimmed with fast-falling tear
For those who have passed down the hillside o
years.
But why should 7 weep for the dear ones

Poor Farmer John.

Old farmer John is sore perplexed-
Nay. farmer John is really vexed:
He iabors early. labors late,
Z ct ever talks of adverse fate;
For all his toilings scarce suffice,
OF longed-for lands to pay the price.
The summers come, the summers go.
The spring showers waste the winters snow
The while. from dawn. till clese of day.
Receiving nOught but frovns for nav.
His good wife tolls: and anxious care
Has faded lip and cheek and hair
Acres on acres stretch away
OF woodland. corn. of wheat and hay;
His cattle roam DER many a hill,
His brooklet turns the grooming mill;
I ct still he signs and longs for more,
And grumblss e'er that he is poor.
Four sturdy sons. four daughters fair.
Claimed at his hands a fathers care.
lie gave them labor without end.
And strove their souls. like his. to bend
Into the narrowing groove of thought:
Gold to be earned, land to be bought.
Yes, farmer John is growing poorl
You feel 1t as you pass his door.
His old brown house is small and mean,
The roof is warped by crack and seam;
The leaning bars, the half-hinged door.
Proclaim old John is gerry poor.
No books no pictures on the wall:
Carpetless rooms and dreary hall
Why think it strange such farmers boys
Should seek the city's pomp and noise?
Should learn to loathe the sight of home,
Where nought of JOY or grace may come?
Why think it strange his poor. old wife,
Who coined for him her very life.
Should pause. at last, despite his frown,
And lay her weary burden down
In joy, to walk the streets of Heaven,
Where nought is sold, but all is given?
Go where you will. search earth around.
The poorest man that can be found,
Is he who tolls. through life. to gain
Widest extent of hill and plain;
Forgetting all his souls best needs,
In counting DER his title-deeds.

The most hopelessly incurable form OF
insanity, says DIR. Clouston of the Asy-
lum at Carlisle, England, is that which
consists chiefly of monomania of sus-
picion of poisoning, with Authorizations
of hearing. 1t is only by being taken
in time that such case is ever cured.

Charitable LOndOnerS.

The English people may be a nation
of shopkeepers, but it cannot be denied
that they spend their wealth quite
royalty. A few weeks ago eight indi-
viduals who did not wish that their
names should be made public donated
each FL, 900 to the charitable institu-
tons of London. In the course of the
year forty-two such donations of $1,000
each have been received from unknown
benefactors, besides $4,000 from one
alone. When it is borne in mind that
by tar the larger portion of the givers
is known, and desires to be known, that
London, though the principal is only
one city in England, and that an i'm
mense number of donations is less than
$1,000, then we may conceive how
much the pockets of the rich contribute
annually in Great Britain for charitable
purpose. si e5aa

AN illustration of the effect of the Jar
produced upon the particles of iron in
a rail or cannon in constan. use may
be got by scattering iron dust upon a
piece of glass under which there lays a
magne and tapping the glass gently.
The particles of iron rearrange them
selves in new lines, as in granulation,
and this is what destroys the life of the
railway track or columbiad.

Arden romance in Oshkosh, Wis: The
Western Arden did not come back and
gaze through the window at the felicity
of the reconstructed household and
then go into the green and yellow mel

the new husband out, sorted over the
children and sent his brats after him,
and then, after thrashing his wife, set
tied down into peaceful and happy
