THIS WORLD.

This world is sad, sad place, know
And what soul living can doubt it?
But il will not lessen the want and woe
To be always singing about il.
Then away with songs that are full Of tears,
Away with dirges that sadden,
Let US make the most of our fleeting years.
BY singing the lays that gladden.
few sweet portions of bliss we quaffed,
And many cup of sorrow;
But in thinking over the favored draught.
The old-time joy borrow.
And in brooding over the bitter drink,
Pain fills again the measures
And so I've learned that it's better to think
Or the things that give us pleasure.
The world at its saddest is not all sad
There are days Of sunny weather.
And the people within it are not all bad,
But saints and sinners together
think those wonderful hours of juno
Are better by far to remember
Than those when the earth gets ont of tune
In the cold bleak winds Of November.
Because we meet in the walks of life
Many selfish creature,
II doesn't prove that this world of strife
Has no redeeming feature
There is bloom and beauty upon this earth,
There are buds aud blossoming flowers
There are souls oftruth and hearts of worth
There are glowing, golden hours.
In thinking Ger joy we've known
We easily make II double,
Which is better by far than to NOPE and moan
Ger sorrow and grief and trouble.
For though this world is sad, we know
And who that h living can doubt til
IL will not lessen the want and woe
To be always singing about it.

The Boy to Succeed.


A few years ago large drug firm in
the city advertised for boy. Next day
tho store was throngod with applicants,
among them queer-looking little fellow,
accompanied by woman. who proved to
be his aunt, in lieu of faithless parents,
by whom he had been abandoned. Look
ing at this little waif, the merchant in
the store promptly said Cant take
him, places all full, besides he is too
small" II know he is SMALL" said the
woman, "but he is willing and faithful"
There was twinkle in the boys eyes,
which made the merchant think again.
A partner in the firm volunteered to re-
mark that he did not see what they
wanted with such boy--he wasn't big
ger than q pint of cider" But after con-
sultation the boy was set to work. A
few days later u call was made on tho
boys iii the store for some one to stay all
night. The prompt response of the little
fellow contrasted well with the reluctance
of the others. In the middle of the night
the merchant looked in to see if all was
right in the store, and presently discov-
cred bis youthful pa,otege busy scissoring
labels. "What are you doingy" said he.
II did not tell you to work ut nights p
II know you did not tell mo so, but
thought / might as well be doing some
thing" In the morning the cashier got
orders to double that boys wages--for
he is willing" Only few weeks elaps-
ed before II show Of wild beasts passed
through the streets, and very naturally
all hands in the store rushed to witness
the spectacle. A thief saw this opportu-
nifty, and entered at the rear door to
seize something but in a twinkling found
himself firmly clutched by the diminutivc
clerk aforesaid, and after Il struggle was
captured. Not only was robbery pre-
vented, but valuable articles taken from
other stores recovered. When asked by
the merchant why he staid behind to
watch when all others quit the work, tho
reply was, "You told me never to leave
the store when others were absent, and
thought I'd stay Orders were ilnme-
diately given once more double that
boys wages-for he is faithful" To-day
that boy is getting salary of $500,
and will soon be taken as y monlber Of
the firm.

Unaired Chambers.

The following sensible advice IS given
US by a correspondent in the Country
Gentleman:
pass some houses in every town
whose windows might as we'll be sealed
in with the walls for any purpose they
have but to let in the light. They are
never opened, summer or winter. In win
ter it is too cold. In the summer the
flies stray in, or if they are netted, the
dust Sits through the nets. Now, can
tell person who inhabits such chambers
when | pass him on the strcet--there is
such smell about his clothing. I always
wish for sniff of cologne, or hartshorn.
or burnt feathers, or something Of the
sort, to stake the taste out. A house
that is never aired has every nook and
corner filled with stale odors Of cooked
meats, boiled vegetables, especially cab
bage and onions, which, as the weeks go
by, literally reek in their hiding places
Who has not wished sometimes to hang
q new servants clothing out of doors
some frosty night, until it should be
thoroughly aired? But | have seen the
fine ladies como sweeping into the church
with their velvets aud silks, when said
velvets and silks gave unmistakablo evil
dcncc Of having been housed in just such
shut up chambers. Oh what tale that
odor of pork and cabbage tells about the
ladies' style of housekeeping. The very
garments of the children tell the same
story Of uncleanliness. tits bad to have
unwashed clothes, but there may be an
excuse for it. But what excuse can
there be for unaired ones, when air is so
cheap and free? There is death in such
unaired chambers. Better a swarm Of
flies or cloud Of dust better frost and
snow in room than these intoerablc
smells. Dear girls, the first thing in the
morning, when you arc ready to 60 down
stairs, throw open your windows, take
apart the clothing of your beds, and let
the air blow through it as hard as it will
There is health and wealth in such
policy. 1t helps to keep away the doc
tors with long bills. 1t helps to make
your eyes sparkling and make your checks
glow, and to make others love your pres
ence. Girls who live in those close, shut
up rooms, can only be tolerated, at the
best, in any circle.

No USE OF ELopINo.-Now here is
what can be called sensible husband.
He lives in Athens, Georgia. Recently
his wife got to liking fellow. The two
made arrangements to elope, which the
husband discovered. He didn't get into
a passion, or try to commit murder. He
went to his wife and said: " Look here,
there's no use Of your clipping. ] don't OBJ
ject to your going. I'll hitch up the
horse and take you to the railroad depot,
and I'll give you 5000 to start life
with" He was as good as his word,
and did all in his power to aid the couple
in their speedy departure. As he shook
hands with the brevet husband, he said i:
:" Old fellow, / don't wish you any worse
luck than you'll get with that woman. :
Be as happy as you can with her, and
then you won't think yourself in Para
disc"

A CAPITAL JOKE. And all the more
palatable because it is true, and can be
vouched for, took place few days since
at one Of the prominent Fourth street
churches. 1t seems that worthy dea-
con had been very Industrious in selling
new church book, costing scventy-fvo
cents. AT the service in question the
minister just before Diminishing the con-
gregation, rose and said "All who have
children to baptizc will please present
them next Sabbath" The deacon who,
by the way, was little deaf, and having
an eye to selling the books, and suppos-
ing his pastor was referring to them, i'm
mediately jumped up and shouted: "And
all you who haven't any, can get all you
want by calling on me, at soventy-fve
cents each"
The preacher looked cross-cyed at the
brothors, brothers looked at tho clergy
man the audience punched the audience
in the side, the bubble grew larger until
it burst in loud guifaw ladies colorcd
up, crimsoned, and blushcd There was
no benediction that morning worth speak
ing Of.
The deacon, after he had found out
bis mistake, changed his pew from the
front Of the church to the third from the
rear, and though he cannot hear the SER
mon, he is consolcd with the thought that
the young ladies cant Singer at him.

Get the Best.

Not only did Mr. Howe invent tho
First Sewing Machine, but for twenty
seven years Of his life labored to render
it more simple and effective, until 1t
would seem that no candid observer, ex-
aiming the simplicity of its construc-
ton, and pcrfcctness of its work in all
kinds Of sewing, but must at onco SEQ
and admit its general superiority to all
others.
Not only is this true Of its vital prin-
ciples and its ingenious devices, but is
also true in regard to perfection of its
manufacture. This has been attcsted BY
the highest authority the machine re-
cciving the First Prize at tie Paris
PROPOSITION IN 1867, and Elias Howe,
Jr., the Gross Of the Legion of Honor as
promoter Of the manufacture Of Sewing
Machines. L. EAGLE, agent, Rockville.

DIDN'T LIKE IA lady with poo
die dog entered the smoking car on a
Western train the other day, and when
the conductor endcavored to persuade her
TO 60 into another car she refused saying
her presence would deter the occupants
from smoking. A gentleman, however,
took out cigar and began to smoke,
when she wrcnched it from bis mouth,
cxclaiming: IF there is anything / hate
it is tobacco smoke" The passengers
who had witnessed the affair we're con-
vulsed with laughter, but the offending
smoker suppressed whatever emotions may
have been struggling for expression in
words or action, and maintained through
out the same impcrturable gravity which
had characterized him from the fest. -
Calmly rising from his seat, he opened
the window nearest him, fastening it up,
and reaching over the back of the seat /,
took that woman's poodle dog and threw
him out Of the window and as far be-
yond as possible, at the same time say

TIE AUTUMN OF LIFE. lit is the SOL
emn thought connected with middle life,
that LIES last business is begun in earn
est; and it is then, midway between tho
cradle and the grave, that man begins
to marvel that he let the days Of youth
go by SO half enjoyed. tits the pensiye
autumn feeling, it is the sensation OF
half sadness that VIC experience when the
longest day Of the year is passed, and
every day that follows is shorter, and the
light fainter, and the fccbler shadows tell
that Nature is Fastening with gigantic
footsteps to her winter grave So docs
man look back upon his youth. When
the first grey hair becomes visible, when
the unwclcomc truth fastens upon the
mind that man is no longer going up
hill, but down, and that the sun is al
ways wcstcring, he looks back on things
behind. When we were children wo
thought as children. But now there lies
before US manhood, with its earnest work,
and then old age, and then the grave,
and thcn home. There is the second
youth for man, better and holier than
his FIRST, if he will look on, and not back.
