HOW MR.. LINCOLN F0RGAvE HIM.

An editor of a weekly paper, published
in little village in Missouri, called at the
White House, and was admitted to Mr.
Lincoln's presence. He told Mr.. Lincoln
that he was the man who first suggested
his name for the Presidency, and pulling
from his pocket an old, worn defaced copy
of his paper, exhibited an item on the SUBJ
ject. ''Do you really think" said Mr..
Lincoln, ''that announcement was the oc-
casion of my nomination % "Certainly,'
said the editor; ''the suggestion was so op-
perfume that it was at once taken up by
other papers, and the result was your nom-
ination and election"
.sAh! WE'LL" said Mr.. Lincoln, with a
sigh, and assuming rather gloomy coun.
tenance, 81 am glad to see you and to know
this, but you will have to excuse me; am
just going to the War Department to see
Mr.. Stanton" "Wen," said the editor 81
will walk over with you" The President,
with that apt good nature so characteristic
of him, took up his hat and said, "Come
along"
When they reached the door of the Sec
retary's Office, Mr.. Lincoln turned to his
companion and said, 81 shall have to see
Mr.. Stanton alone, and you must excuse
me-" and taking him by the hand, he con.
tinued, "Good bye; l hope you will fee
perfectly easy about having nominated me-
don't be troubled about it; I forgive you. D

CIsTERNs AND FILTERs.-Seeing several
statements and complaints as to cisterns
and filters l send you what l think the
cheapest, best, and most convenient filter
have met with. Take solid cask. A coal
oil barrel will do for small cisterH, but a
cask of double the size is preferable for a
cistern holding thirty barrels or over Take
out one head; fix false bottom about three
inches from the bottom of cask; have a
spout pass from top of barrel to false bottom
in the center of barrel; have false bottom
we'll perforated with small holes, say half
inch; fix plug or lancet in side of barrel
close to bottom. Now place the barrel on
the edge of the cistern, or some convenient
place to conduct water from spouting to
cask, and from cask to cistern. Now fill
the cask with filtering material, beginning
with quite coarse gravel, then alternate
layers of charcoal and gravel, with fine sand
on top. The water passes to bottom of
cask through spout, then filters up through
cask to top, and is conducted from top of
cask to cistern. AS often as the filter be-
comes foul, open the cask at bottom and let
| off water. Throw on a few buckets of clear
| water, and when it drains off your filter is
as good as new. Try one. G. ]. B.

''Now,'' said she, eff two of you gen.
tlemen will go into No. 1 bedroom, and
wait few minutes, I'll find spare room
for one of you as soon as I've shown the
others to their rooms" Well, now, having
thus bestowed two gentlemen in No. 1. she
put the third in No. 2, the fourth in No. 8,
the fifth in No. 4, the sixth in No. 5, the
seventh in No. 6, the eighth in No. 7, the
ninth IN No. s, the tenth in No. 8, the elev-
enth in No. 10. She then came back to No.
1, where you will remember, she left the
twelfth gentleman along with the first, and
said: sI've now accommodated all the
rest, and have still room to spare; so if
you will please step into No. II, you will
find it empty" Thus the twelfth man got
his bedroom. Of course there is hole in
the saucepan somewhere; but we leave the

NEARING THE SHORE.

| An old man sat in worn arm chair;
White as snow is his thin soft hair;
| Furrowed his cheek by time and care;
And back and forth he sways;
| There's far-a-way look in his dim, dim eye,
Which tells of thoughts Of the long gone-by,
For he sits once more meath a cloudless sky,
And in childhood merrily plays.
He rests his cheek on the head Of his cane,
And, happily smiling, dreams over again
OF that home. the brook. the meadow, the lane,
Dreams all with a vision clear;
Then childhood yields unto manhood's place,
And he looks once more in his bright, bright face
And down the starry eyes he can trace
A love remembered and dear. e8a8
Then he wakes and sighs: ut seems but dream
That comes tome now like golden geam,
Or the shimmering glow of the SUMS last beam,
But It's pleasant to think it DER.
That youth was so sweet, but now is past;
Those days of love were too precious to last,
But over yonder their pleasures are east,
And am nearing the Shore" *e
He is gliding on in his little boat
Ger the calm still water they peacefully float;
But echo full oft brings well known note
From the land he has left behind.
But Time will row back for him no more,
An0 ne gaZeS away TO tnat Otner Sh0re,
And knows. when the voyage of life shall be DER,
That his dream beyond he will find.
The seeds of youth, which in youth we sow, 81.
Adown through the isles of the future will grow,
And shed on age a beautiful glow,
As they come in memory's CLEANS.
Loved faces will come to dmming sight;
Sweet words will echo in day dreams bright
And circle old age with their halos of light
AS they mingle in beautiful dreams.

NO SUCCESS WITHOUT INDUSTRY

l really believe, young friends, that idle
ness is the ground of most vices. am &C
quainted with certain young men who are
running about the streets, whom see
stepping out of drinking saloons. Some OF
them are sons of reputable parents. / re-
member last summer meeting young man
--one of the best dressed lads in the city
a young man whom met in the omnibus
frequently, riding up and down; and / had
seen him so often and always with such q
leisurely air, that 1 said one day, calling
him by name,
"What are you doing?'
ri have not got any particular business, .
he said.
"Well, haven't you anything to do.'
"Nothing in particular, he answered.
It was somewhat impertinent, but I said
swell, I suppose now you are out o
school, you mean to get into something
pretty soon?''
"Well, have not anything just now il
view," he replied.
To make long story short, the poor fel
low has not anything in view, never die
have much of anything in view. Drifting
drifting, drifting! Down, down, down.
He is not the boy he was when I converset
with him last summer There is nothin,
truer, though trite, than the adage: "Al
idle brain is the DEVILS workshop" Unles
there is an aim, plan, purpose in a man
there is depravity, and appetite, and lust
and passion. 1t is idleness that rolls vi
millions and millions Of dollars for spirit
uous liquors every year.
Industry, my young friends, is the frs
law of success. Some one asked mai
who was counted a great genius, to defn
genius, and he said:-
''Genius is industry"
Things never come about Of themselves
The man who writes a great book, neve
wrote it in day or week. The man VIII
has reported great invention did not com
bine wheel and piston in an hour or in
month; but it was the industry of inquiry
the industry of application. Industry i
the first law of success.

A petroleum well, capable of giving a
large and paying yield, has recently been
discovered in Algiers, near the plain of
Chelff The substance looks like tar, is
soft and very tenacious, melts in boiling
water, and dissolves in turpentine. 1t
burns with very bright flame, and yields
large variety Of products and considerable
carbonaceous residue on distillation. It is
neither tar, naphtha, bitumen, nor asphalt,
but seems to possess the properties of all,
in common with naphtha, but, unlike that
substance, is almost completely insoluble in
alcohol

Strew flow'rs above the Nations dead!
Oh, gather tenderly around;
With garlands deck their lowly bed;
Tread lightly er this hallowed ground
For us they died-the brave, the true;
In gratitude we linger here, af
And thus our offerings renew
With flow'rs of each returning year.
Peace hover DER each honored bed,
Strew flow'rs above the Nations dead!
Their mem'ries dwell in every heart:
Oh, keep them ever fondIy pure!
From hill and plain, and crowded mart,
Here gather while the years endure.
Can we forget the gifts they gave
The lives they yielded, at our needs?
Ger all the land, from wave to wave.
Thus honored be their noble deeds.
Peace hover DER each lowly bed;
Strew f1ow'rs above the Nations dead!
