OATMEAL PORRIDGE.

Americans are gradually waking up to
the fact that oatmeal is by no means an
unimpoltan article of diet. AS food,
the merits Of which have stood the test
of centuries, and which IS designed to
promote the sanitary condition of the ma
ion by laying the foundation for more
hardy and vigorous frames for the COM
ing generation, let us regard its general
adoption as an artice of diet as nothing
short of national good. Its phosphores
cent qualities act as a gentle and health
full impulse TO the brain, and on no other
food Can one endure 50 great or SO pro-
longed mental labor as on oatmeal por-
ridge. Properly cooked, it is not only
q most healthful and nutritious food. but
it is decidedly palatable, as is fully at
es,ed by its wonderfully rapid adoption
as peculiar diet by the Very fastldious
palates of our American people.

TRITE TRUTHS.

| know a farmer who bought a
lumber wagon now almost 80 years
age, and today it is nearly as good
as new. 1t has been in constant
use. but always kept under shelter
when not behind his team in the
field or on the road. a neighbor OF
his bought one at the same time and
made at the same shop, but in con-
sequence OF always leaving If out of
doors it went to ruin years ago, and
now he has bought a new wagon for
the third time. This is iacr. and
the men are living to day, one a
successful farmer, with plenty OF
money to use and to loan, the other
al example of the worst effects of
the opposite system.
This one instance alone is suffi-
cient 10 ''point moral" 1t shou Id
teach lesson to every man engaged
in the pursuit Of agriculture. TO SO
constantly buying tarm tools is more
than a farmer can afford. lmpls.
ments are expensive, and they should
be made to last by being cared for.
Every farmer should have u tool
house, and when tool is not in use
it should stand or hang in it's place.
A careful inventory of such. tools
occasionally would do much toward
keeping them in their place and IN
good repair. Industry, economy
and system will be Of as much SER
vce to farmers as to amy other class.

But Horrox said to himself: ct
must uot neglect the worship Of the
Creator, to see the wonderful things
the Creator has made"
SO he left the reflected image ofthe
sun on the paper, and went to the
sanctuary.
When he returned from the service
he returned to the room. The sun
was still shining, and there, like a
shadow on the bright circle on the
paper, was the image of the planet
Venus | crept slowly along the
bright center, like the finger of the
invisible. Then the boy astronomer
knew that the great problems of
astronomy were correct, and the
thought filled his heart with reli gious
JOY.
HORROR died at the age of %.
Nearly $50 years afterward, Venus
was again seen crossing the sup. The
whole astronomical world was then
interested in the event, and expedi-
tions of observation were fitted out
by the principal European Govern
ments. 1t was observed in this
country by David Rittenhouse, who
tainted when he saw the vision.

Hezekiah Butterworth, In st. Nicholas for
December.
The first transit ofvenns ever seen
by a human eye was predicted by a
boy, and was observed by that boy
just as he reached the age of man
hood. His name was jeremiah
HORROR We have a somewhat
wonderful story to tell you about this
boy.
He lived in an obscure village near
Liverpool. Eng. He was a lover of
books Of science, and before he
reached the age Is he had mastered
the astronomical knowledge of the
day. He studied the problems Of
Kepler, and he made the discovery
that the tables of Kepler indicated
the near approach of the period of
the transit of Venus across the SUMS
center. This was about the year
1885.
Often on midsummer nights the
boy Horrex might have been seen In
the fields watching the planet Venus.
The desire. sprang up within him to
see the transit of the beautiful planet
across the, disc of the sun, for it was
a sight that no eye had ever seen, and
one that would tend to solve some of
the greatest problems ever presented
TO the mind of an astronomer. So
the boy began to examine the
astronomical tables Of Kepler, and by
their aid endeavored to demonstrate
at what time the next transit would
occur. HE found an error in the
tables, and then he, being the first of
all the astronomers to make the
precise calculation, discovered the
exact date when the next transit
would take place.
He told his secret to one intimate
friend, a boy who, like himself, loved
science. The young astronomer then
awaited the event which he had pre-
dicted for number of years, never
seeing the loved planet IN the shaded
evening sky withot dreaming of the
day when the transit should fulfill the
buautiful vision he carried continually
In his mind.
The memorable year came at last
1859. The predicted day of the
transit came, too, at the end of the
year. 1t was Sunday. It found
Horrox, the boy astronomer, now
just past 20 years Of age, intently
watching a sheet of paper in private
room, on which lay the suns disc
on the paper where he expected,
moment by moment, to see the planet
pass like moving spot or shadow.
Suddenly, the church bells rang.
He was religious youth, and was
accustomed to heed the church bells
as a call from Heaven. The paper
still was spotless; no shadow broke
the outer edge Of the SUMS luminous
circle.
Still the church bells rang. Should
he go, cloud might hide the sun
before his return, and the expected
disclosure be lost for century.

The Colorado Election.

The next election of interest is that
which takes place in CoLoRADo to-
morrow for delegate to the Forty
fourth Congress. The withdrawal of
Colonel BOONE, the independent Demo
cratic candidate, in favor of the regu-
lar candidate, leaves the contest
virtually between T. NJ. PATTERSON,
Democrat, and Fl. p. II. BRoMwELL,
Republican, for the appearance OF a
Mr.. Loway in the field as another in
dependent candidate will amount to
nothing. Some significance may be at
tached to the result in COLORADO, as
it foreshadows the probable action OF
Congress in reference to its admission
as a State Should the Democrats
carry the Territory by decided
majority as sit is at present constituted,
will refuse to pass an enabling act
The addition of two Democratic Sena
tors to the minority party in the Sena
tie would not be tolerated if it could DC

that COLORADO will become State II
