DEAD BUT NOT BURIED. When a friend
dies and is buried. there's an end of him.
We miss him for space out of our daily
existence; we mourn for him by degrees
that become mercifullv less; we cling to a
blessed hope that we shall be reunited in
some more perfect sphere; but, so far as
this earth is concerned, there's an end of
him. However near and dear he was, the
time arrives when he does not form part
of our daily thought; he ceases to be even
an abstraction. We 90 no more with
flowers and tears into the quiet cemetery
only the rain and the snow-fiakes fall
there; we leave it for the fingers Of spring
to deck the neglected mound. But when
our friend vanishes unaccountably in the
midst of a crowded city, or goes off on a
sea-voyage and is never heard of again,
his memory has a singular tenacity. He
may be to all mtcnts and purposes dead to
us, but we have not lost him. The ring of
the door-bell at midnight may be his ring
the approaching footstep may be his foot
step; the unexpected letter with foreign
postmarks may be from his hand. He
haunts us as the dead never can. The wo-
man whose husband died, last night, may
marry again within Il luster of months.
Do you suppose Il week passes by when
the woman whose husband disappeared
mysteriOusly ten years ago does not think
of him? There are moments when the
opening of a door must startle her. There
is no real absence but death.-T B. H

TIE PREMIUM ON GOLD.

At the earliest practicable moment the
revenue of the country should be increased
so as to pay the current expenses, provide
for the sinking fund required by law, and
also a surplus to be retained in the treas

artificial method of making paper money
equal to coin, when coin is not owned or
held ready to redeem the promises to pay,
for paper mOneyis nothing more than prom
ises to pay and is valuable exactly in pro-
portion to the amount of coin that it can
be converted into. While coin is not used
as a circulating medium, or the currency

CAPITAL.
1t is claimed by the advocates of the

give great weight to this view of the ques-
tion at first, but on reflection it will be re-
membered that there still remains four
millions of dollars of authorized bank note
circulation assigned to states having less
than the quota taken. In addition to this,
states having less than the quota of bank
circulation have the option of twenty five
millions more to be taken from those states
having more than their proportion. When
this is all taken up. or when specie pay

progress of restoration, it will be time to

Pure water for NIiIch Cows.

A New Jersey farmer. writing over
the signature of "Agrieola'' says:
although water, added to milk,
may be obnoxious, proprietOrs OF
milch COWS cannot expect that the I'D
ders will be extended with the deli
cious liquid unless the animals can
have access to a generous supply of
clear water. During the sultry days
of summer, pure water for COWS is as
important as grass. When a cow is
thirsty, she must be supplied with wa
ter, or the process of concocting milk
will be more or less arrested. Hence
the quantity of milk viii continue to
diminish. Soon after a COW has filled
herself with feed Of any sort, there
will be a demand for water. But II the
animal cannot obtain a supply, the
partially masticated feed in the rumen
will soon begin to heat and terment,
causing derangement of the entire sys-
tenn.
cit is bad policy to require milch
COWS to drink at ponds of standing
water, which is a prevailing practice
in many sections of country. When
animals are allowed to go into the wa
ter, and to stand in it, unless there is
a running stream, the water will soon
be fouled and unfit to drink In such
instances it will only cost trifle to
dig a shallow well, provide a large
trough, and draw a generous supply
every day, either with a cheap pump
or bucket. A pail Of water is as re.
freshing to thirsty COW or horse as 8
goblet of ice-water is to thirsty la
borer."

Good Way to Make Cottage
Cheese.

A cottage spinster, "Roselle" in
communicating her practice of making
cottage cheese, says: 81 take som e
sweet milk and stand it on top Of the
stove in new tin pail, or pan, shaking
it occasionally, that the forming curd
may not settle to the bottom. l turn
the edges gently that the curd may
form evenly, taking care not to break
it, and not let it cook too fast. If the
heat is about right it will be done in
half an hour. Then / drain off the
whey slowly, pressing down on the
curd until only whey enough remains
in it that the cheese will not be too
dry, just moist enough to mix we'll
Then / salt to taste, aed a good lump
of butter and work well with my hand,
then pack it down in a crock, leaving
all the moisture in it. This is better
than to press it into dry balls. Set it
away in the coolest corner of the eel
lar or spring house. Take it out into
a deep white dish and very carefully
dip out and lay over the top of it a
few spoonfuls of thick cream, sweet or
sour, but the sour is preferable. Lay
aclean, bright spoon beside the dish,
and your wholesome poem is ready
for criticism, cold, white and pretty,
and one of the incest dishes known
for tea.

Deep humility is strong bulwark,

we ind safety and true exaltation.-
[John Woolman.
An elevated purpose is good and
ennobling thing, but we cannot begin
at the top of it. We must work up
to it by the often difficult path Of daily
duty.
"God's greatness flows around our
incompleteness," and the preacher who
lays hold of it, bringing it within reach
of struggling and despairing men, shall
never lack hearers or rejoicing con-
Verts.
A Man will always undergo great
toll and hardship for ends that must
be many years distant, as wealth or
fame; but none for an end that may
be close at hand, as the joys of heav-
en- hawthorne.
Cheerfulness is an excellent wearing
quality. 1t has been called the bright
weather of the heart. 1t gives harmo-
ny to the soul, and is perpetual song
without words. It is tantamount to
repose., 1t enables nature to recruit
its strength whereas worry and dis
content debilitate it, involving constant
wear and tear.
The tide of our sorrows and sins has
often arisen from a trivial spring; and
the same is true of our earthly joys.
Our daily trials and hourly blessings
gather something of the radiance Of
the bow in the clouds in the day of
rains as we receive them the pierced
hands of Him whose death and inter-
oession have made all things ours

By the employment of steam on the
New York canals, grain was transported
from Buffalo to tidewater at a cost of four
mills per ton per mile, against one cent
per ton per mile by railroad. 1t is now
predicted that the introduction of steam
barges on the lake will eventually reduce
the rates for carrying wheat from Chicago
to Buffalo to four and half cents; and
that the tolls from Buffalo to New York
will again be decreased five cents by the
employment of steam on the canal-mak-
ing total reduction per bushel of wheat
of from ten to fifteen cents. If this is not
cheap transportation itwould be difficult
to tell what is.

4 HERO AND 4 MARTYR.
BY CHARLES READE.

Furnished erclusirelytOheN J. Tribune, for
publication in he United States, By Mr..
ReGde.
Upon the second day of October 1886,
The Glasgow Times told the world a NOV
ing story.
A little boy was drowning in the Clyde.
There was a score Of people on the bank;
but they only groaned, and glared, an
futtered at the child's screams and strug-
giles; not one had both the courage and
the skill to plunge in and rescue him
Butpresently came an elderly man who
was peerless swimmer and diver, and
had saved more than forty lives in that
very river.
Alas he was now stone blind a little
girl. his granddaughter, was leading him
by the hand.
Yet to him his blindness seemed no
obstacle. "Let me to him! let me to
himw he cried an save him yet"
But in the general dismay and agita-
ton, his appeal was unheeded at first.
Then he screamed out in generous fury,
aye daft fules, a man disna som with his
cen just fling me in the water, and cry
me (A) to him, and yell see."
His prayer would have been granted,
but his granddaughter, with girls affec-
ton and unreasOning fears, clung round
his knees, and screamed, "Na, ma, We
wadna,-ye wadna"
This caused a hesitation when there
was no longer a moment to lose. The
boy sunk for the last time deep groan
from the spectators told the sad end, and
the poor blind hero went home, finging
his arms about in despair, and cryinglike
child for, as he afterward said, in tell
ing the lamentable tale, at was laddie
flung away; clean flung away"
The chrOnicler went on to enumerate
the gallant exploits of this very James
Lambert before he lost his sight and
the whole story set me thinking. | be-
gan to weigh the vulgar griefs Of men
against James Lanbert's high distress. l
taxed myself and dissected things that
had made me rage or grieve; now they
seemed small and selfish.
From that my mind went into books,
and fell to comparing the feats, and the
tears of James Lambert with the feats
and tears of heroes, whom history has
embalmed, or poetry canonizde.
Strange to say, it was not my living CO.
temporary, but the famous figures Of po-
etry and history, that paled little in
this new crucible. often detected some
drawback to their valor, and taint of
egotism in their grief This made me
suspect that poetry, like its readers, may
have been dazzled by the glare of armor
and the blare oftrumpets. and left heroic
men unsung, who best deserved bard.

men and women, with his bare body,and
at great peril to the life; for the best
