memory, and teach them to your little
ones: mix them altogether, to meet
the similar moods, as In after life they
come over US so mysteriously some
times. Many time and oft, in the
very whirl OF business; in the sunshine
and gayety of Fifth Avenues, and amid
the splendor of the drive in Central
Parks, some little thing wakes up the
memories of early youth-the old mill
the cool spring, the shady tree by the
little school house-and the next in
slant we almost see again the rudy
cheeks, the smiling faces, and the
merry eyes of schoolmates, some gray
headed now. most "lie Wondering in
the grave" And anon 1.-THE song my
mother sang springs unbidden to the
lips and soothes and sweetens all these
memories.
AT other times, amid the crushing
mishaps of business, merry ditty OF
the olden time pops up its little head
breaks in upon the ugly train Of
thought throws the mind into another
channel light breaks in from behind
the cloud i'll the sky, and a new cour-
age is given to us. The honest man
goes singing to his work; and when
the days labor is done, his tools laid
aside, and he is on his way home, where
wife and child, and tidy table and
CHEEKY freside await him, he cannot
help but whistle or sing.

Make the Best of Yourself.

Are you making the best of your
self? Are you using to the best ad-
vantage the natural powers of the
body and mind given you by nature
Or are you droning through life
on half efforts, and steadily drifting
behind men Of less ability than your
own-men who, with even fewer tai
ents than you possess, are making
the best of themselves? Think of
this. Put the question to yourself
as we put it to you, and do it honestly.
Look the matter right in the face.
Are you making the best of yourself?
If not, begin new life at once. Do
your best in everything-in your think
ing and in your doing. Be a man in
self-compulsion. Rise out of indo-
lence and selt-indulgence, and not only
will the world be better for your hav-
ing lived in it, but you will be better
for having 1--we, "a tie world.

PUBLISHERS OF NEwspApERs-and

PUBLISHERS OF NEwsPAPERs-and
more particularly local newspapers,
have to depend mainly upon their ad-
vertising columns for their support.
Yet how many are there who seem not
to realize this fact. Instead of giving
their paper liberal advertising pa
tronage, they perhaps give it none land
if levee or entertainment is got up
in the place, the paper is expected to
notice it for nothing.
Now if all the patronage that a pa
per can expect is that of the locality
for whose interest it works, it would
seem that every one should give
it the advertising that legitimate
ly belongs to it, and not try to get it
without paying Tor it. There is a class
of people that seem to begrudge every
dollar that goes to their local papers
and still borrow it and read it, and are
the severest critics of its short-com-
ings.
The publisher has to pay for labor
and paper, and every notice of any
kind, in the nature of an advertise
ment be ought to have his pay for. He
has got to get his living out of his ad-
vertising columns, and any society or
individual can with just as much pro-
priety beg five dollars of any other iu-
dividual, as to expect it gratuitously
of newspaper.
ANY man who does not think enough
of his towns paper; and every trader
Who dpae NOT haitava in odx-arficivr
should move into some town where
they have no paper.-GardiRer Jour

Salt for Cabbage.

A New Jersey gardener considers
salt necessary to the development of
cabbage, especially in places far from
the coast. He finds them more crisp,
of better flavor, and to keep better
when salt is used than without. He
used it as follows "A few days after
setting out the plants, and when they
are damp, either after a rain or when
the dew is on, | take small dish of
fine salt and walking among the rows
sprinkle little pinch of salt or the
center of each plant when the lea, es
begin to grow. | repeat the sailing.
and when the center of the leaves be-
gin to form the head, l apply salt
again, scattering it over the leaves !;
after this [ look over occasionally, and
if find plants that do not head we'll
and appear diseased, | sprinkle the
salt over freely; this will save all such
plants. A quart of salt is sufficient
for FIVE hundred plants in a season,
although more can be used with safe
ty."

4 Hot Summer and Iatn Fall

The Southern Egis, of Ashville,
Ala, whose editor makes a special
study of astronomy, says:
On the 2lst instant the astronomical
summer commenced. This was the
longest day in the year in the northern
hemisphere. The sun entered the
sign Cancer on that day, and from that
point the earth passes TO the summer
quarter of its orbit. As the tendency
of the planet Jupiter now is and has
been to retard the orbital motion of
the earth, our planet is imperceptibly
falling in towards the sun. This ten
dency Of Jupiter's attractive force to
draw the earth from the outer wave of
its perturbed orbit to the inner wave
will reach its climax about the last of
August or middle of September, SO
that We may look for a hot summer
and late fall.

In France and other Continental
countries the bodies of deceased per-
sons are committed to their parent
earth much sooner after death than is
the custom in this country. The law,
in consequence, insists on great care

marine fell into a lethargic state. was
certified as dead by the hospital author

conveyed under military escort to the

poses, and when he was placed naked

Justice Tempered With Mercy.

Gov. Porter has committed the SEN
renee of Holt, the Bedford county
murderer, to Imprisonment for life.
This action was taken in accordance
with the recommendation of the Su-
preme Court, who, after careful re-
view Of the case, came to the conclu-
sion that Holt's extreme youth was an
cxtenuating circumstance, which sug-
geSted that Justice should be tempered
with mercy. The force and effect of
such recommendation are clearly set
forth ny the Attorney General in the
opinion which We give elsewhere, and
the Governor endorsement indica ties
that he saw plainly where his line of
duty lay. We commend Gov. Porter
for the 6rmness which he has displayed
in the matter, and believe that his
course will be fully approved by the
people. - Union and american.

you be willing TO undertake a very re-

teachers have had them, but have given

nothing with them. I looked across
the school, and discovered six very
active little fellows, full of spirit and

they are bright active boys. but none
of them look vicious. | think know

So the next Sunday took my seat

their class. and hoped they would give
me no trouble. fheyall looked pleased;

hold out his hand to me and say, boy
fashion. That is fne, ma am; We will

THE BETTER DAYS TO COME.
BY OSCAR Il. HARPEL.

The heart may bend with weight of woe
And all the world look drear.
While DER its carewoTn paths we go
With nothing bright 10 cheer;
Yet, in the BOSOM ever dwells,
Though all things else are dumb,
y low, sweet voice that whispering tells
or better days TO come.
Though mortal Ills may 10 Us cling;
Foul wrong may silence right;
Within the soul he fostering
Some hurt II hides from sight:
still. lit by n celestial spark
That CLOVIS through gloom profound,
Homes signal guides us I'm the dark
TIL brighter scenes are found.
There is no evil that can Slay
The faith beyond the grave:
There Is no might TO bar its way
The spirit dare not brave:
And, come what Will TO stay its wings,
That seek n better home,
Within its depths the sweet voice sings
OF deathless days TO come.
