1t is Not Death.

There is no death the common end
Of life and growth we comprehend
Is not forms that cease, but mend
1t is not death, but change.
When wastes the seed, the sower sows
Beneath the clog of winter SHOWS,
The autumn harvest plainly shows
1t was not death, but change
When science weighs and counts the strands
In economic Natures bands,
She re-collects them in her hands
To show no loss from change.
They do not die, our darling ones;
From falling leaves to burning suns,
Through worlds on worlds the legend runs
That death is naught but change.
When stills the heart and dims the eye,
And round our couch friends wonder why
The signs have ceased they knew us by
1t is not death, but change.

How to Calculate Interest.

The following rules are simple, and
so true, according to all business
usage, that every banker, broker. mer-
chant and clerk, should post them up
for reference. There being no such
thing as a traction in it, there is scarce
ly any liability to error Or mistake,
BY no other arthmetical process can
the desired information be obtained
by so few figures:
Six per cent-Multiply any given
number Of dollars by the number Of
days of interest desired; separate the
right hand figure and divide by six !;
the result is the true interest on such
sum for such number of days at six
per cent.
Eight per cent.--Multiply any given
number for the number of days upon
which it is desired to ascertain the in,
terest, and divide by forty-hvc, and
the result will be the interest of such
sum for the time required, at eight
per cent.
Ten per cent-Multiply the same
as above, and divide by thirty-six. and
the result will be the amount of inter
est at ten per cent.
What it will do. If q mechanic or
clerk saves only two and one-half
cents day, from the time he is TWEEN
ty-one until he is threescore and ten,
the aggregate, with interest, will
amount to $4,000; and daily saving
of twenty.seven and one-half cents,
caches the important sum OF $4,000
a sixpense saved daily will provide a
fund of $1,000 sufficient to purchase
q good farm. There are few employees
who cannot save daily, by abstaining
from the use of cigars, tobacco, liquor,
etc, twice or ten times the amount of
the six cent piece. Every person
shout provide against old age, and
the man in business who can save a
dollar day, will eventually find him
self possessed OF over 100000.

Il the Spirit Of the Age:
Being under the conviction thai my
somewhat lengthy residence in this
country, as yet but little known in
detail, and the allegiance I owe my
native village, make it my duty to
dispatch few lines from my distant
abode to be heralded upon your pages
or to suffer an inglorious death in the
waste basket, as Texas contributions,
| fancy, do not figure extensively in
either as yet, if | can steal your i'm
agination for time from tho pleasant
scenes of the old village, 1 will trans
port it over hill and dale and mighty
river till you will recognize the clone
star" glittering IN its distant splendor
by giant pastures, bounded by the
blue lines of distant hills and dotted
10y countless focks and herds all up
on scale of such gigantic magnitude
that only a small stretch of the i'm
aglnation will enable you to be living
in the age OF giants in fairy tales. -
While still westward over these huge
pralries bounded only by the distant
horizon we travel amid the never
ending herds and flocks till upon
the distant horizon we behold the
great river which rolls between our
pastoral paradise and the land of the
Montezumas. Here is to be seen the
great wave of civilization meeting the
mildness of primitive nature the
denizen of both meeting upon the
same scene and feeding in the same
valley. Here the Indian still roams
in his aimless freedom, herds of horses
toss their names to the winds, the
sturdy cattle and the patient sheep
mingle in good fellowship with the
wild turkey, the graceful deer, and the
ponderous buffalo. After looking
upon this picture we turn eastward
where the black prairie stretches away
to the sea, bearing upon its fertile
bosom magnificent fields of silvery
cotton and golden grain. Here the
cheerful homes of the settles stand
surrounded by fertile fields and gener-
Gus crops, who, after long combat
with the worn out lands OF old coun-
tries, here find a bountiful return for
their labor from the generous soil and
salubrious climate of this prolific
giautess. 90 newly added to civiliza.

of the carpet-bagger, as he made laws
tor the filling Of his own pockets and
the destruction of the welfare and
prosperity of these once prosperous
states. This state of affairs is improv-
ing gradually. The thieves are being
pushed out of Office, and the citizens
of the states, whose interests are with
them, are being installed in their
proper places, while the bursting of
many of the old and corrupt rings of
state and municipal government which
grew and tostered u,,on the career of
war, shows spirit of reformation to be
at work in the land, which will soon rise
like the resistless tide Of the ocean,
sweeping away the drift wood Of cor
rupt and sectional legislation; and
leaving in its stead government
which shall do justice to the masses Of
our land instead Of enriching at their
expense horde of political favorites
and moneyed aristocracy. I believe
our country contains within itself the
elements of its own preservation, and

q Cruel Jest.
CHARLES d. FAIRBANKS

An elderly lady in our village is ~
ing very low just now in consequence
of thoughtless trick played by two
Young neighbors.
A few young people had called in
one evening to see the kind old lady,
when these two neighbors thought it
would be fine trick to put on two
hideous masks and throw some old
wrappings about them and 90 into the
house and see if they could brighten
her. The old lady was SO terrified,
even when it was known wlo they
were, that she retreated as far as she
could to the opposite side Of the room,
trembling in every limb. The next
day she was very i'll trcm the effects of
the fright aud has grown worse ever
since. We do not know what the re
suit may be, but the parties who did
the mischief are certoinly deserving
of very severe censure.
A schoolmate of mine was once
thrown into commissions by the sight
Of a ''broomstick ghost" some thought
less companions had set up in a cor
ner Of her room. They hid them
selves close by, that they might enjoy
her fright, but this sport was soon
turned into very serious earnest. She
wap subject to such attacks at times
ever afterward.
A young lady, returning to her
home one evening, was met by party
Of rude lads who had a frightful look
ing JACKIE lantern with them. She was
so terrified that she fell fainting as
soon as she reached her own door.
They laid her upon her bed, and she
never rose from it again.
Such cruel, wicked play should new
er be INDUCED in by any one. Ifyou
are urged to join in sport of this sort,
decline at once and decidedly. Try
also to dissuade others from it, and, if
you cannot, then put their victim on
her guard. The law of love demands
that you should spoil such sport, just
as much as it would require you to
put out fire that would burn down
neighbours house. Health, reason,
and even life itself, have often been
sacrificed to such foolish joking. Is
it worth running such risk for mo-
ments idle laughter. ChIds World

A correspondent of the Rural New-
Yorker sends the following recipe
The inclosed is excellent, and ought
to be published once a year. | found
it in a paper sometime ago, and have
tried it and can recommend it from
experience Take a pan or shovel
with burning Goals, and sprinkle upon
them common brown sugar, and hold
the wounded part in the smoke. Iu a
few minutes the pain will be allayed
and recovery proceeds rapidly. In
my case, rusty nail had made bad
wound in the bottom of my foot
The pain and nervous irritation was
severe. This was all removed by
holding it in the smoke for fifteen
minutes. and | was able to resume my
reading in comfort. We have often
recommended it to others with like
results. Last week one of my men
had fnger-nail torn out by a pair OF
ice-tougs. 1t became very painful, as
was to have been expected. Held in
sugar-smoke for twenty minutes, the
pain ceased and promised speedy
recovery.

THE CEMETERY,

How still the cemetery lies
Beneath the early morning light .
Ere from the turf the thick dews rise
That fell from the cool wings of night.
There was name in olden times
10 this last sanctuary given,
Solemn and sweet as midnight chimes,
Embalmed with thoughts of peace an
heaven
Goods Acre." ever hallowed word.
Like the sweet frankincense of myrrh
That once the weeping woman poured
Within the Hottest Sepulchre,
1t shed fragrance through the gloom
And shadow Of the silent tomb.
Mutely as sleeping seraphin
With hands in prayer unspoken pressed,
Peace and deep silence dwell within
The portals of this place of rest
The very winds seem hushed and low;
Softly they pass along the sod
With continuous sigh, as though
The feet of plying angels trod
Where the translucent sunlight laves
With ripping gold the low green graves
Half hidden in the quiet gloom
OF branches STOPPING TO the moss,
With daisies showered, the massive tomb,
White urn and monumental cross,
Around, as far as the eye can see,
Tell Of some cherished memory.
Sweet sacred meditations seem
To brood in the still atmosphere
All is so calm, one scarce might deem
That naught but grief could linger here
And yet how oft the weary feet
Toiling along the rugged earth,
And hearts bereaved and sad that meet
Around the desolated hearth,
With speeches., bitter longing turn,
Day after day, to this calm spot
With restless thoughts in vain that yearn
For the beloved ones who "are not"
For the departed smiles that shone
All radiant once with trust and love,
And for the household voices gone
To join the eternal choirs above
For the hearts, once warm and true,
Crumbling now beneath the yew,
Under pale spring-blossoms lonely lain
In the cemetery's shade.
