WORSHIP IN THE H0ME.-That
many little things which make up
human life have a real magnitude
and far-reaching significance may be
seen in the decisive influences which
they have upon the future. The
morning reading of the Bible, the
prayea of the family circle, and the
blessing invoked on the food, pass
by without incident, and often with
out due attention-such is the pow
er of custom to strip US of inspira-
tion and feeling; but there is not
one in ali the group which is not af-
fected by il throughout the day, and
the memory of these devotions, duh
enough, msyhap, at the time, has af-
terward saved many a young man
not only from a career of wicked
ness and a Wretehed death, but led
him back to the faith and pure life
with which he was formerly IA
miliar.

A GIGANTIC PRoJEcT.-One os
the most gigantic projects of the age
is about to be undertaken by Rus
sia, in the shape of the construction
ofa traRs-continental railroad, to
connect the Baltic with the Pacific,
through Siberia. The road win run
from st. Petersburg eastward to
Alexandreffsky, on the Japanese
sea, a distance of 4, 200 miles. 1t is
to be commenced as soon as arrange
ments can be made-probably be-
fore the end of the present year.
Nothing is stated with regard to the
time when the road viii be finished,
but in view of the magnitude Of the
enterprise, long period must nee
essarily elapse. When completed,
however, it win naturally confer
immense benefits on the commerce
ofOur North Pacific coast.

Don't want any OF It in Theirs.

Ii. V. Redfeld, the spicy cores
pondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial, recently met a Canadian some
where out West, who rather set him
aback. In reply to a question, what
he thought of the project of annex
ing Canada to the United States, re-
piled very quietly and emphatically,
that he didn't want any of it in his.
Redfield then asked if that was the
general feeling?
Yes, you can't find one Canadian
in twenty who would consent to
annexation. II ever we Join the
United States it will be at the point
of the bayonet. Right now we are
freer than you are, and have less
taxes to pay. You can get pint of
good liquor in Canada for what a
drink costs here. Every thing we
buy is cheaper there. Clothing,
even, is thirty per cent. cheaper
Why? Because you are taxed to
death in your rotten republic, and
don't know it. Your congressman
and officials at Washington steal
more than it takes to run our whole
government in Canada. Do you
suppose that outside people, know
ing these things as well as we do,
want to pin our destiny to such a
government? The theory-of yours
is good enough, l know, but cor
ruption and imbecilty have crowded
it, until what you call the best gov
ernment the world ever saw has be-
come the WOrst.-EcchdRQe

There is a doctor in this city who
has a speaking tube leading from
the main entrance of his building to
his Office, which is up just a few
flights. For several days past a
smart young wag named Swartz has
amused himself by calling for the
doctor through the pipe, and then
profaneiy ordering him to set out on
an excursion TO Tartarus- For
some time this fun was taken in
good part until the fine humor Of
the joke became apparent. Accord
ingly, one afternoon, the disciple Of
esculapius provided himself with a
tea-kettle of water heated to about
2l0 degrees Fahrenheit, and waited
along side the pipe. Pretty soon
the old familiar sound came up
through the pipe, "Say, Doc, how's
Tricks ?'' Tricks is better now-I
guess he'll get well" responded the
doctor, reaching out after the tea
kettle.
"Whafs been the matter with
himi''
"He's got burnt"
GLOW ?''
''Pll tell you in minute"
"Oh, you go To-"
The doctor had finished his last
sentence and then let 4 quart Of
scalding water down the pipe.
SWartz had his mouth over IL, and
when the water struck it he was
somewhat surprised. Water was
apt TO surprise him, but hot water
was an unexpected novelty

ter for about a minute and then

smart young man was getting along

an hour afterwards he found him.

Hits from the Avalanche.

That circular letter ofGov. Brown,
in favor of the funding measure, does
not push up Tenn. bonds as rapidly
as patriots hoped for. a set speech
from Comptroller Burch, we timid-
ly suggest, is sadly needed in this
painful ordeal of small holders.
To the large and rapidly growing
list of anti-funding Journals mast be
added the McMinnFih New Era.
The only out-and-out funding adYo-
cate and apologist in the State is the
Nashville Union, whose editor has
just boen appointed Comptroller by
Gov. Brown, in the interest of the
scheme.
Governor Brown thinks the tax
payers of Tenn. should be happy in
being permitted to pay $50, ,6OO, 600
in interest to the funders without
decreasing the public debt of the
State a dollar. The Governors
scheme is not to have the debt paid.
Against this project the bondhold-
ers would protest. 1t is simply to
keep paying interest forever on the
fun amount.
We hope Governor Brown will
attend the meeting ofthe Governors
of the Western and Southern States,
to be held at Atlanta on the Goth of
| the present month. The question
of the assumption of the debts of the
Southern States by General Govern
ment may be discussed, and in view
of the seventy million of interest

A Norwich (Connecticut) news
paper has discovered She reason for
the f'salSry steal" Its philosophy
of it is that Congressman have been
living at much greater expense than
formerly, and without the slightest
good reason; and as the deficiency
must be made up in some way, they
take pay for one thing and another,
for which they ought not, and finally
end the roll by stealing from the
Government. But il says we are
all to blame for it, because we have
contributed to it by our own costly
and miserable ways Of living. Nat
urally enough, the wisdom that
gives US such a satisfactory diagno-
sis flows right on with a remedy.

small ReEInnlnEs.

There is a well known story of a
Dutch boy who, when a small
stream began to dribble through a
littlel in the dyke, stopped il up
with his finger until better means
came, and so prevented the inunda-
tion which else would have broken
down the barriers and sWeps over
the country in universal desolation
and disaster. This was one of the
small beginnings of things so easy
to arrest in the outset, so difficult,
nay, so impossible 10 overcome
when once the barriers have been
forced, and the floods suffered to
pour forth. And we are all able
like the Dutch lad, TO stop up the
primary hole through which the IA
tai drops are beginning to trickle, il
only We pay attention to the warn
ing and take care to prevent the ter
rible end while we can. But il un-
fortunately happens that presence
Of mind is not always ready at the
proper moment; and if il is, in fact,
it is not directed in the channel IL
should be bent upon; and hence the
opportuusy is lost never to be re-
called.
Ihere - not person now read
ing these words who is not con-
sciOus for his or her own part Of the
present tyranny of habits one or
more, which could have been check
ed as easily IS the Dutch boy stop
ped the deluge of waters Nov,
not the hands OF many strong men
could hold back what the little fin
ger of a lad would once have been
sufficient 10 oxercOme. Lives have
been wasted, families have been
neglected, interests ruined, duties
sacrificed, all for the arbitrary re-
quirement Of habit. No man gets

deemable seoundrei anyhow. He
begins, then he goes on, then he be-
comes fixed and confirmed: at the
end, If you will, he is immOTable;
but in the beginning he and his hab-
its were plastic, and the latter were
weak, and might have been crushed
like newly hatched crockodile, if
only he would have set his heel on
them. We may be sure that the
small beginnings of all things have
to be the most carefully considered
and their growth guarded against
if that growth would be an evil.

Louis Napoleon as q Boy.

-
The papers are telling charming
stories Of the late Emperor's boy
hood. He did not have the silence,
or reserve or selfshness of later
years at that time. The following
incident shows generous heart:
q Queen Hortense settled by the
Lake Of Constance, where the young
prince was constantly in the habit Of
relieving poor people by giving
away his pocket-money. One day
he observed a family in the greatesi
distress, but having no money te
give them he took off his coat and
boots and gave them to these pool
people, saying that he was sorry thai
he had not any money for them, al
he had given away the allowance
his mother had made him to some
other poor persons who had JUS
passed by the house; but he hoped
they would dispose of his clothes K
relieve their wants.
The weather at this time was very
cold, and the ground covered will
snow; the prince, nevertheless s,trudg
ed through it toward home,and whe1
near the house was met by Mocquard
who expressed his surprise at seeing
him in that state. The little fellow
then ten years old, replied:
"a have given away my clothes t.
some poor people to prevent then
from starving. Mocquard added
