Driving Fence Posts.

On one occasion the writer desired TO
erect q board fence around a field which
was free from stone, aud he proceeded
on the following plan The line of the
fence was laid out perfectly straight,
and small stakes were driven into the
ground sixteen feet apart. A sha1p
wedge-shaped pointed crow-bar was pro-
cnred, with which holes were punched
in the ground where each stake was
placed. BY working the bar back and
forth in the ground, the hole was made
large enough to fit the post closely, and
two and half feet deep. The post was
pointed very evenly ON each side, so
that it would drive straight. The top
was beveled so that It would not split
in driving. A triangular stool, with
three legs three feet long, and a heavy
beetle, completed the outfit The
beetle was made out of a piece Of soft
maple, fifteen inches long, cut from q
small tree about n foot In diameter.
The bark was trimmed off. and the
edges were beveled of about three in
ches a handle of ash, two inches
thick, was put through the beetle, and
was trimmed down so as to be an inch
md half thick one way and two inches
IN another. This prevents + from turn
ing IN the hands when striking with it.
When the posts we're all ready 10 be
driven, a man held one of them. with
the point IN the hole, while another
mounted the stool and drove Il down
with the beetle. With q little carr. the
man who held the post kept Il upright
and in line with the rest. As the posts
were driven, two men followed mailing
on the boards. These four men COM
pleted a fve-board fence around a square
ten-acre field IN one day and half,
making the labor eqnal to six days
work. Had the holes been dug, the Job
would have taken at least four times as
long. The cost Of the labor was less
than ten cents rod. The men were
good mechanics, or it woaid have cost
much more, their labor ct two dollars
and half day being probably twice
as cheap as common labor at half that
rate. In addition 10 the superior rapid
ity and cheapness OF the work. the fence
was much hrmer than Il coald possibly
have been had the holes heen dug for
the nosts

The Mainspring.

I have now, in my hand, gold watch,
which combines establishment and nti-
lity in happy proportions, and is often
considered a very valuable appendage
to the person of ger 'leman. It's hands,
face, chain, and caee, are of bea 1tiiul
sold. Its gold seals sparkle with the
ruby, topsz, sapphire, emerald. open
It, and find that the work, without which
this elegantly furnished case would be
a mere shell-those hands motionIess
and those figures without meaning-aFe
made of brass. Investigating farther,
and asking what is the spring, by which
all these are put In motion madea Of,
am told it is made of steel. Is WIKI hat
is steel I? The reply is, it is iron which
has undergone a certain process. So,
then, I find the mainsl lring-without
which the watch would be almost mo
tionless, and its hands, figures and en-
Establishments but toys-is not of gold
Chat is not sufficiently good nor Of
brass, (shat would not do but of iron.
Iron, therefore, is the only precious
metal, and this watch but an emblem Of
society. It's hands and figures, which
tell the hour, resembles the marter-
spirits of the age, to whose movements
every eye is directed. It's useless but
sparkling seals, sapphires, rubies, to-
pazes, embellishments, are the aristoc-
raey. Its works Of brass are the middle

Keep Oat Of Debt.

Half the perplexity, annoyance and
trouble that men have in this world is
in consequence of getting in debt. 1t
seems TO be natural for some people to
buy and incur obligations without meas
ure, so long as they can avoid paying
the ready cash. Give one Of this sort a
chance to buy on credit, and the ques-
ton of payments are matters that he
cares but little about. But what crop
Of trouble springs up from the seed of
debt. How many gray hairs it brings,
and how often it shortens life some
times leading men to commit suicide OF
murder. And yet how easy It is to
keep clear of this terrible monster. Ex-
cry young man should form fixed and
unalterable determination, before COM
mencing his active business career, not
to incur one penny Of indebtedness un-
der any circumstances never buy any
thing unless you have the money to
pay for it at once pay no attention 70

Dismal Women.

There are women who take s strange
delight in being dismal. Some of them
are so selfish that nothing is ever right,
because they imagine they ought to
have something extraordinary IN the
way of luck. A few are iil-tempered
and adopt the dismal line on purpose
to spite those who live with them, be-
ing assured that this IS the most effect
ual way Of SO doing. But the majority
Of the dismals are good women, or, at
least, want TO be good, and they ap-
pear to be dismal strictly on eonscien-
tious grounds, If they put their feel
ings into words, they would probably
say something of this sort " This
world is made up of sin and sorrow and
suffering. It is a probation, and we
need not look for anything pleasant un-
til we pass into the next. We must not
give away to happiness or encourage
JOY. It is true that God gives the sun
shine and flowers, but He intends that
while looking at them we shall constant
ly remind ourselves that the rain VIII
come, and that the flowers viii die" Il
seems impossible that such hearts can
love, bat perhaps they do after their
own dismal fashion. Everything is
done for duty, and if by chance IN per-
forming this duty they stumble upon
the doing Of anything pleasant, they are
sure to spoil the taste Of it. AS rule,
they are women of narrow culture.
Jean Paul, having married a hero OF
his, Sicbenkas, to one of these women,
describes her thus
4" If ever heavy hanging cloud of
thunder bearing watersPout passed over
his or her days, she knew how to put
her husband and his courage, like a
Dutch fortress, quite under water, and
gave free vent to all her tears. If, on
the contrary, the sun or fortune cast a
gleam of December sunshine, not broad
er than a window, into their room, then
Lenette was sure to have a hundred
other things to do and to see, sooner
than remark she more lovely one. Her
husband said beseechingiy more than
once Dear one, do but wait until we
are again as poor as rats, and once
more lead the life of dog, and then I
will sigh and groan with you with pleas
ure.' 1t was of little avail only once
she returned him decent answer:
How long viii it be before we are
agaiu without penny IN the house?'
''But to this he knew how to return a
still more reasonable answer: 'Ibseems,
then, you are determined not to enjoy a
cheerful, quiet day until one can swear
to you on the Gospel that no misera-
BILE, dark, cloudy day viii follow it.
In that case you can never enjoy one. -

The Tomb of Tantalus.

The following interesting article Is
taken from an exchange of a recent date.
Among the famous sights Of Smyrna
which are seldom seen by casual visi-
tors are the tomb Of TantaIus, on the
opposite side Of the bay, and the lake
Of Tantalus, in the cham Of Sipylus.
According 70 the classic historians, be
side the rOck-eut image Of Cybele. there
was once here a city Of Tantalus, which
was destroyed by an earthquake. Since
the eruption Of VesuTius the lake has
been sensibly affected. This lake, the
crater Of volcano supposed to be ex-
tint. and amid volcanic formations, IS
reputed to be fathomless, although sn
English officer settled that point many
years ago. This time Of the year it Is 8
place for picnics from The summer tovn
Of Bournabaf, bat now sight-see7s and
tourists are proceeding thither because
the two peak, above the lake are visibly
sinking. Not only this, but two fssurea
have opened, from one of which warm
water flows, and IN the other ruins are
to be recognized Of fine city. Such il
the local report We have received. On
the other side Of the city Of Smyrna
are the volcanic peaks Of lhe TWo
Brothers. and il is muoh to be feared,
after the late disturbances Of The dis

again awaits tlle city.
