Putting hoop on the family flour bar
rel is an operation that will hardly bear an
encore. The woman generally attempts it
before the man comes home to dinner
She sets the hoop on the end Of the slaves,
takes deliberate aim With the rolling PIN,
and then shutting both a brings the
pin down with all the of one arm,
while the other instinctlv, y shields her
face. Then she makes a dive for the cam
phor and unbleached muslin, and when
the man comes home she is sitting back of
the stove, thinking of st. Stephen and
other martyrs, while burnt dinner and
the camphor are struggling heroically for
the mastery. He says If she had kept her
temper she wouldn't have got hurt. And
he visits the barrel himself and puts the
hoop on very carefully, and adjusts it so
nicely to the top of every stave that only a
few smart knocks apparently are needed
to bring it down right, then he laughs to
himself to think what fuss his wife kick
ed up over a simple matter that.only need
ed q little patience to adjust itself, and
then he gets the hammer and fetches the
hoop sharp rap on the side, and the 9TH
er side flies up and catches him on the
bridge of the nose, filling his soul with
wrath and his eyes with tears, and the
next instant that barrel is flying across the
room accompanied by the hammer, and
another candidate for camphor and rag is
enrolled in the great army that is unceas-
ingly marching toward the grave-DGn-

How 10 Get the Best Place.

saw a young man in the office of a
Western railway superintendent. He was
occupying a position that four hundred boys
in that city would have wished to get. 1t
was honorable and lit paid well,n besides
being in the line of promotion. How did
he get it? Not by having a rich father, for
he was the son of a laborer. The secret was,
his beautiful accuracy. He began as an err
rand boy, and did his work accurately.
His leisure time he used in perfecting his
writing and arithmetic. After awhile he
learned to telegraph. At each step his en-
ployer commended his accuracy, and re-
lied on what he did because he was sure it
was Just right. And it is thus with every
occupation. The accurate boy is the favor
ed one. Those who employ men do not
wish to be on the constant lookout, as
though they were rogues or fools. If a car
penter must stand at his journeyman's ell
bow to be sure his work is right or if
cashier must run over his book-keeper,s
columns he might as well do the work
himself as employ another to do it in that
way: and it is very certain that the ehl-
ployer will get rid of such an inaccurate
workman as soon as possible.
knew such young man. He had a
good chance to do well, but he was so mac
curate and unreliable that people were
afraid to trust him. If he wrote a deed,
ora mortgage, or contract, he was sure
either to leave out something or put in
something to make it an imperfect paper.
He was a lawyer without business, be
cause he lacked the noble quality of accu'
racy. Just across the street from him was
another young lawyer, who was proverbia
for accuracy. He was famous for search
ing titles, and when he wrote out the his
tory of title to piece of property, it wa
taken for granted as Just so. His aim wa
absolute accuracy in everything. If h.
copied a conveyance, or cited legal au
Jhority or made statement, he aimed t
do it exactly. The consequence Is, he
having valuable practice at the bar, an
is universally esteemed.
But says some boy, when l becom
man, that is the way L shall do. meal

Grain and Produce.
GRAIS.-The grain trade during tho past
week has been very light. There hai been but
little offered, but sufficient for the demand,
which has been very slight. Wheat has fallen
10 cents on the bushe, from the highest figures
it carried few weeks since, and we continue
- quote it at 81 S0al 80; yet, withal, it is
slightly frmer than when last reported There
has been general decline in wheat in all the
principal markets, and many of the leading
wheat merchants have entirely withdrawn from
the market. Those merchants have not re-
turned to the mar ket with any degree of activ>
ity, yet occasional car load orders are received
by our merchants, making the market some
what frmer.
FRUIT-The market in dried fruit continues
dull and transactions are limited to local de-
mands, with no indications whatever for bet
ter market in that line
FLoUR.-Ihe market remains considerably
easier, there being a sufficient supply for pres
ent local demands. Flour, however, continues
in good demand.
OATs.-The trade in oats is very dull, the
amount in market being fully equal to the de-
mand.
CoRN.-The trade in corn is very dull at pres
ent and the demand is light
EGGS have further declined and are now
! quoted at l2l cents. They are, however, in de-
| mand for shipping purposes at that price,

frmer. Some heavy shipments having been
made lately Prices are tending upward.

HOME CIRCLE.
BYRoN's FAREWELL TO HIS WIFE.

Fare the we'll and if for ever,
Still forever fare thee well
Even though unforgiving, never
'Gainst thee shall my heart rebel.
Would that breast were barred before thee
Where thy head so oft bath lain,
While that placid sleep came O er the
Which thou ne or canst know again:
Would that breast, by thee glanced Ger,
Every Utmost thought could showl
Then thou would st at last discover
IT was not well to spurn it so.
Though the world for this commend thee
Though it smile upon the blow,
Even its praises must offend thee,
Founded on another's woe:
Though my many faults defaced me,
Could no other arm be found,
Than one which once embraced me,
To infct a cureess wound
Yet, oh yet, thyself deceive not;
Love may sink by slow decay,
But by sudden wrench, believe not
Hearts can thus be torn away.
Still thine own its life retaineth-
Still must mine, though bleeding, beat
And the undying thought which paineth
Is-that we no more may meet.
These are words Of deeper sorrow
Than the wall above the dead
Both shall live, but every morrow
Wake us from widow bed.
And when thou would solace gather
When our chld's first accents flow,
Wilt thou teach her to say "Fatherl'
Though his care she must forego?
When her little hands shall press thee,
When her lip to thineHs pressd,
Think of him whose prayer shall bless thee,
Think of him thy love had bless'd,
Should her lneaments resemble
Those thou never more may st see,
Then thy heart will softly tremble
With pulse yet true to me.
All my faults perchance thou knowest,
All my madness none can know;
All my hopes where'er thou goest,
Neither, yet with thee they CO.
Every feeling hath been spoken;
Pride, which not world could bow,
Bows to thee-by thee forsaken,
Even my soul forsakes me now;
But tbs done-all words are idle
Words from me are vainer still;
But the thoughts we can not bride
Force their way without the will.
Fare thee we'll thus disunited,
Torn from every nearer tie,
Searr'd in heart, and love, and blighted
MoTe,.han this I scarce can die.
