A HOUSE ONE THOUSAND YEARS OLD The lofti-
est house, and the most perfect in the matter of
architecture have ever seen, was that which a
wood-chopper occupied with his family one win
ter in the forests of Santa Cruz county. 1t was
the cavity of redwood tree, two hundred and
forty feet in height Fire had eaten away the
trunk at the base, until circular room had been
formed sixteen feet in diameter. AT twenty feet
or more from the ground was aknot-hole, which
afforded egress for the smoke. With hammocks
hung from pegs, and few cooking utensils hung
upon other pegs, that house lacked no essential
thing. This woodman was in possession of a
house which had been thousand years in process
of building. Perhaps, on the very day it was
finished he came along aud entered in How
did all jack-knife and hand-saw architecture sink
into insignifcence in contrast with this house in
the solitudes of the great forest Moreover, the
tenant Jared like prince. Within thirty yards
of bis coniferous house mountain stream went
rushing past to the sea. In the swirls and ed
dies under the shelving rocks, if one could not
land half dozen trout within an hour, be de-
served to go hungry as penalty for his awk-
wardness Now and then deer came out into
the openings, and, at no great distance, quail,
rabbits and pigeons could be found. What did
this man want more than Nature furnished him
He had house with "cupola" two hundred
and forty feet high, and game at the cost of taxi
ing it. This Arcadian simplicity would have
made lasting impression, but for volunteer
remark, that nothing could be added to give life
more perfect zest swell, yes" said be, 81

tell Jim to send me up a gallon of whisky, and
some plug tobacco 1t will not do 10 invest a
hollow tree with too much of sentiment and
poetry. If that message had not been suggested,
we should have been under the deusion TO this
day that the lives of those people, dwelling in a
house fashioned a thousand years ago, were
rounded to perfect fullness without one arti6'

A FAMILY REUNION IN ILLINoIs.-The 0gie
County Press thus refers to a re uninn of the
family OF Mr.. John wagner, which took place
at his homestead, one and half mills East of
Mt. Morris, on the 7th ultimo, where he has
resided since 1885
"Ten of his twelve children were present at
this reunion, and with the grandchildren,
great-grandchildren and few neigh bors, the
company numbered about eighty. Mr.. WIS is
one of those "old fashioned families" which
are, we are sorry to say, growing exceedingly
rare in these days of fast living. Mr.. Wagon
er is now over eighty, and enjoys good health
for one of his advanced years. His family is
not only large in numbers, but also in energy,
business tact, and even when gauged by the
steelyards, not one of them weighing less than
one hundred and sixty pounds. The family
consists as above stated, of twelve children,
sixty y-four grandchildren and fourteen great
grandchildren. Mr.. Wagner came to Ogle
county from Washington county, Md, in 1885,
and has since that time resided on the home
stead where the reunion was held"

have such horror of being old maids that they
would take the crookedest specimen of man

ter the reports of an EngIfsrf missionary
establish cent in the north of India give an ac-
count of two boys who were captured from the
wolves, which are very plenty in that region
The boys were apparently about seven years old
when taken from their wolf mates. One of them
was taken by some hunters who were engaged in
smoking out the wolves from a cave. He ran
away on all fours, but he was caught. The only
sound he uttered was whine, but his features
showed unmistakably that he was Hindoo boy.
He would at first wear no clothes, tearing them
off if they were put on him would eat nothing
but raw meat, and Tapped up water with his
tongue He was, at length, taught to walk erect,
to use fork and spoon, and to drink like hu-
man being. Although treated with the greatest
care he pned away and died after he had been
at the mission four months. The other boy has
been in the establishment six years and has n"w
laid aside most of his wolish ways. He walks
erect, but has peculiar gait owing TO the fact
that he moves his hands at the same time he dos
his feet. He has not said word, but be ex-
changed his whine for a sound expressive If
gratitude He wears Clothes though at first thHy
were a source of annoyance to him. He has been
taught to do some work, but is neither skiful
nor faithful in its performance. He has lost all
desire to escape, and has become favorite with

ONES F RIENDs.-Money can buy many things
good and evil. All the wealth of the world,
could not buy you friend, nor pay you for the
loss of one. 81 have wanted only one thing to
make me happy" Hazlitt writes, "but, wanting
that, have wanted everything" And, again,
"My heart, shut up in the prson-house of this
rude clay, has never found, nor will it find d
heart to speak to-"
We are the weakest of spendthrfts if we let
one friend drop off through inattention, or let
one push away another, or if we hold aloof
from one for petty jealousy or needless slight or
roughness. Would you throw away diamond
because it pricked you? A friend is not to be
weighed against the jewels of all the earth. If
there is coolness or unkindness be ween US,
let us come face to face, and have it out
Quick, before love grows cold. "Life is TOO short
to quarrel in,' or to carry black thoughts of
friends. If 1 was wrong, / am sorry if you,
then am sorrier yet, for should not grieve for
my friends misfortune? And the manding of
your fault does not lie with me. But the for
giving Of it does, and that is the happier Office.
Give me your hand and call it even. There it
is gone; and thank kind heaven l keep my
friend still A friend is too precious thing to
be lightly held, but it must be little heart
that cannot find room for more than one or two.
The kindness I feel for you warns me toward
all the rest makes me long to do something to
make you all happy. tits easy to lose ii friend,
but new one will not come for calling, nor
make up for the old one when he comes.

after returning home from party recently,

4 Weaz:mess.

What is there, we would like to know, in the
atmosphere of America that poisons tho aver
age mind with the idea that the worst method
of getting living is by doing honest work?
Not only does the average native mind revolt
against doing mechanical or other shop labor,
but it appears that as soon as foreigners become
acclmated they consider it a necessity to
search for way by which to obtain an income
in what is enormously considered an easy and
gentlemanly way. The moment public
man becomes invested with given amount of
patronage, he is besieged night and day by ap.
plicants for Office, and it must be cool brain
indeed that can stand the fearful racket and
pressure, and not become demented. For every
Office vacant, or likely to become vacant, at
least one thousand aspiriants present them
selves, each armed cap-a-pie with the strong
est recommendations Imaginable, and each sat
isfed that he of all others is the best qualified
and entitled to hold the position it is his de-
sire to fill. Are there so many needy persons
among us? and are bhe unemployed so numer-
Gus that these overwhelming rushes are made
for Office? Certainly not. Three-fourths of the
applicants have pleasanter and more profitable
occupation than that they thus seek. Arti
sans who are earning their twenty and thirty
dollars per week, by eight hours service, will
drop their tools and waste months in securing
the privilege of patrolling the streets by night
and by day, with never an hour they can call
their own, their lives and limbs in constant
peril, as policemen. And the arduous, excit-
ing, and we may say slavish duties of potrol-i
men they are willing to perform for less money
than accrues to them from their trades. Men
of fine education and excellent business abili-
ties will spurn desk in a counting room, or a
position equally honorable and profitable, to
occupy paltry subordinate station in public
department at salary-party assessments de-
ducted-barely sufficient to keep soul and body
together. And it should be borne in remem-
brance that before they can get even such mis-
cradle posts they must hang around political
meetings, do ward committee duty, and dance
menial attendance upon "the leaders" long
while, perhaps years. To say that thousands
of promising men have been ruined by yield
ing to this unaccountable mania, is TO speak
very far within bounds, and to predict that
thousands will yet go to comparative perdi
ton by the same road is to prophecy that which
is being realized every hour of the day This
infatuation is the more unaccountable in that
no one is so well aware of the precariousness
and insufficient reward of small office holding
as the chronic office-seeker. But the attrac-
tion-whatever may specially compose tap
pears to be irresistible, and is to majority of
our impecunous citizens what the flame is to
the moth.-N. Y. Peerless.

meeting Of the pastors and delegates from
the various churches in this city was held at
the Methodist vestry on Monday evening last,
for the purpose of consulting together with
reference to having but one sermon at each
church on the sabbath, and devoting the af-
ternoon to sabbath school instruction. We
learn that the general sentiment was favora-
bic to making the change, although decided
opposition was manifested by enc or two lay
men to the proposed innovation upon the old
system of the fathers of the church--the
grinding out of two sermons day. even if

leaving ministers to preach to a preponder-
ance of empty pews, or to a nodding congre-
