The No-Mind Family.

Some people have no minds; they
take all their ideas from others, they
are fond Of sign-posts and are guided
by them. The last strong mind they
meet always gives theirs a tint. They
follow any folks who will give senti-
ments of their own, without troub-
ling at all whether they ere blind
guiders or bona .fde leaders, and so
frequently form erroneous ideas. 1
Just wish that every man who cannot
give an opinion of his own without
requiring support from others could
be obliged to pay tax.
remember once having piece of
advice given to me. Now pray don't
don't don't think that was the only
bit was ever favored with. By no
mean; indeed, nearly everybody with
whom have come in contact seems
to consider me eft and proper sub
ject" for advice. (Note-I don't al
ways take it,
Well, this particular bit was given
to me very impressively: To be
sure and never, OIL any account what
ever, marry a man with too much
backbone, who could not do any
thing which touched his pride. But
l say, seriously, that I would a great
deal sooner marry that kind of man
than one who had not any backbone
at all and sneaks out of everything.
You ask man of that sort ques-
ton about candidate for Congress,
and he replies:
"Oh, was talking to Mr.. Fore
thought few minutes ago, and he
thinks his opinions are great deal
too much advanced for this town."
"But what do you think?"
"Well-realIy--now-I don't know
I'm surew
They have one set of phrases; you
never need expect any more from the
family of "no-minds;" they either
don't know, or else they quote some
body else.
"Good morning, Miss Sharpe; you
are looking quite fresh, out so early.
What do you think of our new min
ister's sermon yesterday"
"Well, have just left Miss A
only a minute or two, in fact, and
she is sure he does not believe in the
atonement."
3But what do you think?"
"Well"-this with depfecatory
smile,-"I'm not much of a Judge"
"Have you been introduced to his
wife?"
eyes,"
"What is your opinion of her?"
, "Why, Mrs. B-says she consid-
ers her proud, and not what minis
ter's wife ought to be-"
And so if you keep on talking for
a month (excuse the absurdity of the
proposition) you would not get an
original thought. They are a large
family, these 'no-minds," and just
live, day after day, and seem to be
born for no earthly purpose but to fill
up few gaps-and talk.

An Indian in Corsets.
Detroit Free Press.


An Indian yesterday called into a
Woodward avenue store to sell some
baskets, and he was so persistent that
one OF the clerks finally took down
an ol corsetd and offered it to him if
he would go away and buzz some one
else.
"What he for?" inquired Lo, as he
held up the corset.
"Put him on squaw,nake her
look gay-here, this way" replied the
clerk, passing the corset around the
Indian.
"Ugh! Him good!" growled Lo,
and he took the corset and went out.
Reasoning that what was good for
squaw was good for Indian, he slid
into the alley east of the avenue,
dropped his baskets and started to
put on the corset. He got it bottom
side up, hind side before, and every
way but the right one; but he finally
saw what the matter was. He re-
moved his coat, took the corset
strings out, and then clasping the
corset behind him he put the strings
back and tied them in front of him,
and the corset was on. He folded
up his coat, picked up his baskets
and appeared on the street again, hat
slanted over his ear, and his look be-
traying his great pride.
"Great goats! what's that?" shout.
ed the boys as they caught sight OF
him, and they laughed until they fell
down.
The Indian presented a most laugh
able spectacle as he passed up the
avenue, but he stepped high and did
not mind the boys, until policeman
stopped him and crowd gathered.
Lo then got it through his head that
the clerk had sold him, rnd that he
was being made fun of, and he unlac-
ed the corset, threw it on the side.
walk in great wrath, and exclaimed;
"Heap cuss-whoop"

BY O. W. PRENTICE.

Alone walked on the ocean strand,
A pearly shell was in my hand;
stopped and wrote upon the sand
MY name, the year and day.
As onward from the spot passed
One lingering look behind l cast
A wave came rolling high and fast
And washed my lines away.
And go methought twill quickly be
With every mark on earth for mel
A wave Of dark oblivion sea
Will sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy shore
OF time. and he to me no more;
OF me, my day, the name bore,
To leave no track or trace.
And yet with Him who counts the sands,
And holds the waters in His hands,
know lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name.
OF all this mortal part has wrought,
OF oil this thinking soul has thought,
And from these feeting moments caught,
For glory or for shame.

Owing to the light run of cattle this
week the market showed considerable
tirmnes throughout, though without any
special activity at any time. Prices may
be marked up &c on all grades, the
figure, marking the sales being little ii
any higher than last week, but the differ
cucc throughout the list being observable
in the quality of the offerings. There
were more common cattle in proportion
to the number, than there were last week,
and the tops, as above intimated, We're
scarcely rs good as those of last week.

Curious Facts About Bees.

Bees are very curious creatures, and the
following facts ascertained by Huber, will
be read with interest. They refer to the
senses of these wonderful insects:
The senses Of bees was the next subject
of investi cation, and we will give in brief
the results which Huber reached. The
lenses of the bees eyes are not adjustable;
and though they can see accurately to
great distances, they seem blind to objects
close by Bees dart down 10 the door Of
their hives with precision which is gen
orally unerr;ng; but if from any cause
they miss the opening, they are obliged to
rise in the air in order to take another OBJ
servation.
If bees hear-whicb is doubtful ques-
ton, the old-fashioned hanging" to the
contrary-they certainly hear only what
is also far from perfect, foul dish-water
being often preferred by them to limpid
streams, or even dew, and ill-smelling
plants having quite as much attraction as
sweet ones. 1t is the quantity rather than
the quality of their food for which they
care They are also fond of the secretion
of the aphides the mich cattle of the ants
Their sense of smell is very keen; the
presence of honey they detect even in the
most carefullyconceale places Honey
bees often. in scarce seasons, attack the
humble bees on their return from the
fields laden with honey, and force them TO
disgorge all they have collected. Its pres
ence in the honey-bag must have been de-
tected 10y the sense of smell.
The seat of this sense is in the mouth
this Huber determined by presenting, sue
eessively TO all parts of the body, on
camel's-hair pencils, odors specially repug-
naut to them. When held near the mouth
the bee started back as if annoyed. On
one occasion he mixed camphor with
honey, which they especially dislike; ny
some means they managed to separate ana
remove all the honey, leaving the campAos
untouched.
The sense which seems 10 be most per
feet in these little creatures Is that toi
touch. and that seerns to reside wholly IN
the antenn9. Greetings, caresses and the
communication OF intentions are always
effected. by one bee toward another, .!

membered that no light enters hive IN
