A Costly Comma.

The Importance of careful congressional
punctuation vas strongly illustrated to-day
at the meeting of the Ways and Means
Committee, where 1t was shown that COM
ma in one place was worth $2,00O,O0O In
the tariff bill which went into effect August
|, 1879, it will be rendered that the free
list was extended by the addition of seve-
raj hundred articles. Among the number
added was fruit plants, tropica al and semi.
tropical" for the purpose of propagation
and cultivation. In engrossing the bill, or
In the process Of copying it for official
printing, comma was inserted after
frat, and all fruit was thereby placed on
the free list. The customs officers how.
ever, not noticing the change, continued to
collect duties on fruit until the error was
discovered. The Ways and Means Com
mittee to-day agreed to report a bill to
remove the comma, in accordance with
with the intent of the law of 1875.

not far from 81, 00O, 600. -

The SOvereigns Of Industry.

We have received the constitution of the
order of the Sovereigns of Industry, the
bylaws of its national council, and cir
cular issued by it, and addressed to "the
Industrial classes, the mechanics and work.
ingmen and women everywhere"
The organization of the order resembles
that of the Patrons of Husbandry. Mem
beers of the subordinate councils take the
degree OF jOurneymen; members of the
national council take the degree of artisan;
and members of the supreme council,
which will not be instituted until 1875, will
be craftsmen. The supreme council is to
be the court of last resort. The executive
power is lodged with an executive council
of seven men. Its present members all
strange, since there are as vet but
three subordinate councils-in Worcester,
Springfield and New York city. The OBJ
jects of the order are roughly stated as the
elevation of the industrial classes. 1t is
open to ''any person engaged In industrial
pursuits, of the age of sixteen years, of
good character" 1t is a significant rule
that says: "No political or religious tests of
membership shall be allowed" The politi-
cal purposes of the order are avOwed. 1t
declares itself to be in league with the
Patrons of Husbandry. The circular says:
"The Changers have saved millions of
dollars to the farmers. Rut, since the
Grange admits only those who are inter-
ested in agricultural pursuits, it has been
found necessary to institute a new
order that shall welcome to its mem
bership all classes of 1aboring men and
women. And this order will save to it's
members also millions of dollars. 1t is. and
will continue to be, in thorough sympathy
and hearty cooperation with the Patrons
of Husbanry, both being parts of one great
whole, whose destiny is to work out bet
ter future for the industrial classes of this
country. The times are ripe for the move
ment. You have but to combine, WORKING
men and women. and great and imme-
date benefit is yours" Whether or not
this movement can unite the workingmen
as thoroughly as the grange has united the
farmers, remains to be seen; but the present
powerful combination known as the "Pa-
irons OF Husbandry" started from smaller
beginnings than the "Scvereigns of Indus
try."-ChicogO Tribune

AN OLD sTORY.
BY DORA VINCENT.

He came when violets and roses were In bloom,
Erst had known him and admired;
And happy greeting gave when ne returned,
But knew not OF his errand until when,
on taking leave, ne said in tones subdued
With tenderness, 40, do not love another,
But wait for me" My heart stood stIll with
joy
Such JOY as woman knoys but once in life:
Then, after interchange OF words, TO US
Ofearnest meaning full, but meaningless
To others, I pointed to bank OF violets;
"Forget me not,' murmured and then ne
looked
So glad and grave withal, and took my hand
In his, and told me o'er and DER thatI
Was all to him. And with his words still in
Ny ear, walked my daily path not doubling
Once his truth. But when the weeks grew into
Months, and still no tidings came, my heart
From fondness turned to coldness and dis
trust
What wonder grew cold and cynical and
hard >
And when he came at close OF fifteen months
would not listen when he vowed faithfulness
Through all, but spurned with bitter words
His overtures OF peace. But, OH twas hard
To see him go while one kind word had kept
him
By my sidei But was proud and would not
yield,
And though my heart was nigh to break, main
tained
A cold reserve when next we met
Long years have passed, and peace has come,
and
Have much 10 live for; but often mid my joys
VIII come memory Of that by-gone time,
And for a little while my lone heart sighE
at might have been" But soon faith bids all
gloom
Depart, and am glad for all that enjoy;
And with a thankful heart submit my way
To Him who doeth all things we'll.

Early Rising.

DO you writer's and brain-workers, or
you whose nerves are worn and unstrung
all day by the petty yet wearing cares
OF your daily occupation-do you, ask,
take delight in your morning nap? Do
you lie awake through the hours which
precede midnight; do you toss restlessly
through the wee sma' hours, and then,
perhaps, just as daylight is breaking,
sink into a sweet, restful, dreamless
slumber, which causes those early
morning hours to be to you all the night
should have been, and without which
the night were no night at all? When
you at last awake refreshed and invig-
GRATED, to find that the hands of the
clock have not been sleeping, too, but
have already begun the ascent of the
dial; do you have any kind, early ris-
ing friend at your elbow, always ready
to quote stale proverbs for your edifica-
ton? Do you hear about that nOtori-
Gus "early bird" and do your ears be-
come familiar with that couplet which
informs us as to the time when lazy
folks like best to work?
Pay no heed to your friend. Take
your nap in comfort, and do not even
attempt to curtail its proportion, for in
so doing you may be sure you are cur
failing your life itself. Quiet sleep is a
necessity for the enjoyment of perfect
health. II one cannot sleep in the
night they must sleep in the morning.
IL they do not, they will certainly and
speedily break down.
The following paragraph we quote for
the comfort of those who require this
morning slumber, and for the confusion
Of those who would deprive them of il /:
''The fact Is, that as life becomes more
concentrated, and its pursuits more ca
ger, short sleep and early rising become
impossible. We take more sleep than
our ancestors, and take more because
we want more. Six hours sleep will do
very well for plowmau or a bricklayer,
or any other man who has no other ex-
haustion than that produced by manual
labor, and the sooner he takes IL after
his labor is over the better; but for a
man whose labor is mental, the stress of
work is on his brain and nervous sys-
tenn, and he who is tired in the evening
with a day of mental application, for
him neither early to bed nor early to
rise is wholesome. He needs letting
down to the level of repose. The longer
interval between the active use of the
brain and his retirement to bed, the bet
ter his chance of sleep and refreshment.
To him an hour after midnight is prob
ably as good as two hours before it, and,
even then, his sleep will not 80 COM
pletely and quickly restore him as it
will his neighbor, who is physically
tired. He must not only 90 to bed
later, but lie longer. His best sleep,
probably, is in the early morning hours,
when all the nervous excitement has
passed entirely away, and he is in abso-
Lutte rest"

DoN'T BE IN A HURRY.-Ips no sort
of use to be in hurry. We never knew
fellow who was always in a hurry,
that wasn't always behindhand. They
are proverbial, all over the world, for
bringing nothing at all to pass. Hurry,
skurry, bluster, splatter-what does il
all amount to? Just nothing at all. III
you want to accomplish anything as il
should be done, you must go about II
coolly, moderately, faithfully. Hurry
ing, fretting, fumbling, spluttering,
will do no good-not in the least-but
may do harm. Are great works of
great men done in hurry? By no
means. They are the legitimate pro-
duce of time and patience-the result of
slow, solid development. Nothing
ought TO be done i'm a hurry. 1t is con-
trary TO nature, right, justice, and COM
mon sense. Your man Of hurry is no
sort Of character at all worthy Of imita-
tion. Always in confusion, loose at
every point, unhinged and unjOinted,
blowing and putting here and there, but
all ending in smoke, and never accom-
plishing anything to benefit themselves
or the community.

Greenwood Cemetery is just now very
beautiful, and the same may be said of
similar places of sepulture about the
city, whose "1iving green" is just So
bered by the turning and falling leaves
Of Autumn. Two hundred and seventy
five men are daily employed in making
improvements and in keeping the
grounds in order, and $4,000 per month
are paid out for expenses. Owing to
the judicious management of the affairs
of this city Of over III, 200 dead, the re-
ceipts are largely NEARLY a million ofdol-
lars) in excess Of the expenditures. This
surplus is to be added to the sinking
fund, the interest of which is TO be used
in the care of the ground when the lots
are all sold. To increase this fund an
advance of fifty dollars on all lots previ-
ously held at $3.50 and upwards, and a
proportiOnate advance on lots valued at
$3.50, has been made. The number of
lots that have been sold in Greenwood is
nearly 1900, and including the late ad-
dition of forty acres, the cemetery COW
ers an area Of about 500 acres. The in
terments numbered 5,T57 last year, or
an average of nearly sixteen each day

EXTRAvAGANT MoURNERs. - The
best argument for cremation we have
yet seen, was a paragraph published in
the Times some days ago, under the
caption of "EXtravagant Obsequies.n
Clustered round wretched shanty, in a
low part OF the city, were grouped one
day some thirty well-appointed hacks,
headed by a magnificent hearse. The
occasion was the funeral OF poor day
laborer killed in some railroad excava-
tion, and the ceremonies could not have
cost less than 5000, while the shanty
from which the dead man was carried
could hardly have cost a third of that.
Extravaganza like this is more than a
folly; it's crime. Nor are such eXcep-
tioual. In no country in the world is so
much money wasted on funerals as in
this. a European coming to New York
is quite staggered at the sight of grand
heRrses, enclosing costly caskets, and
attended by half a mile of coaches, car
rying the bodies of paupers from
wretched little shanties. How much
better 1t would be TO save up the money
thus squandered, to help the destitute
relatives that survive There is moth
ing noble or wise or Christianlike in un-
meaning display, the flagrant vulgarity
Of which imposes on no one. "EXtrav-
agant Obsequies" do not express the ex-
travagant grief, so much as the extrava-
giant vanity and folly of the mOurners.
They are got up to please the living and
not the dead, for few persons can be ex-
pected to enjoy their own burial.-Arcd-
dian.
