KIND WORDS.

! There Is an island In the Atlantic beautiful
and crowned with all Of the glories Of q
| tropical climate. So multtudious and frag-
rant are it's flowers and plants that the travel
er's approach to this fair land Is known by the
delicious odor which reaches him while miles
away. How pleasing to the tired sailor must
this indication bel How charming to know
that although yet far away, anchorage Is a,
hand To such an one the language Of these
flowers acts as encouraging words do ia
one almost devoid Of hope.
We can estimate the power OF kind word,
a smile or pressure of the hand. 1t is Bayartl
Taylor, believe, who in one of his interest
ing books, speaks of the kindly greeting which
falls from the lips of the peasantry in Europe
to travellers and strangers. When reading Of
this class Of people how our hearts warm
towards them, how we wish for the returti u
their g God bless you.''
Daily we read of and eulogize oldentimo
martyrs. Maccarias, offerings upon the affairs
OF sacrifices
Yet daily are greater sacrifices made, which
bring no shouts of applause--no sympathetic
tears Many an eye while reading the touch
ing lines of "The Song of the Shirt" or
Beautiful Snow" is blinded with tears, yet
turns cold1y aside if brought into actual
proximity with the prototype of either piece.
We know so little of the thousands who
wander this broad earth frien1less and alone.
So little of the unending labor, which does
not always bring bread to the hungry.
We realize SO little of the temptations that
beset the outcast and alas, still less their
want Of power to withstand these temptations.
Yet how many Of us sit in judgment. How
many grudge the world of sympathy, the
friendly smile. What matter IL we stand up
right, towering far above the vast multitude
of suffering and sad humanity
Does not the oak, gray with moss and grand
in the strength, give deep shade to tho timid
violetp Does not its trunk support the timid
vine? Its strong branches afford safe resting
places for woodland birds?
Surely no man has greater reasons to look
with compassion upon the weak and tempted,
the unsuccessful and disheartened, than he
who, far beyond his fellows in tho upward
race If life, can brayely resist the storms
which sweep around him, and from the
height of his superiority treat as trifes the
gales which make shipwreck of the lives of
other men. Gather around your cleaning
hearth-stones all that is bright and beautiful I;
but leave the windows uncurtained, and, per-
haps, the light which floods your home with
brightness may chase away the darkness from
tile path OF some wanderor.

MARK TWAIN ON MosQuITo NETS. Mark
Twain is reported to have written the follow;
ing letter to the inventor of mosquito net
"There is nothing that just and right
feeling man rejoices in more than to see
mosquito imposed ON and put down; and
brow beaten and aggravated, and this ingeni-
GUS continuance will do it. And it is a rare
thing to worry fly with, too. A fly will
stand Off and curse this invention till Ian
guage utterly fails him. have seen them do
it hundreds of times like to dine in the
air on the back porch in Summer, and SO
would not be without this portable net for
anything when you get it hoisted the flies
have to wait for the second table. We shall
see the Summer day come when we shall sit
under our nets in church and slumber peace
fully, while the discounted flies club together
and take it out of the minister. There are
heaps of ways of getting priceless enjoyment
out of these charming things, if had time
to print them out and dilate on them a
littlc.' MARK TWAIN.

ETHAN ALLEN WAS THEREON the Sun
day following his capture of Ticonderoga,
Allen attended divine worship In the little
meeting house at Bennington. The clergy
man, who was as devout as he was loyal, took
occasion, during the long prayer that preceded
the sermon, 70 give all the glory Of the exploit
to the God of Battles. Aliens notion of the
share which Providence had In the matter did
not exactly agree with the pastors. He held
his peace for some time, but finally, overcome
by passing impulse, arose in his seat and
called OUT "Parson Dewy, please mention
the fact that Ethan Allen was there -

A Vine that stood beside thriving Oak
Grew weary of the labor
OF self-support, and thus she plainly spoke
Unto her stronger neighbor

Supporters of each other"

And we will grow together,

The toughest wind or weather."
"Nay, nay" replied the foolish Vine, /" hate

How THE CHICKS Work OuT.-Take an
egg out of the nest on which the hen has set
her full time, carefully holding it to the ear ;
turning it around, you will find the exact
spot on which the little fellow is picking on
the inside of the she'll this he will do until
the inside skin is perforated, and then tho
skin is forced outward on a small scale, lcav-
ing hole. Now, if you will take one OF the
eggs in this condition from under tie hen, re-
move it to the house or other place, put it in
a box or nest, keeping it warm and moist, as
near the temperature Of the hen as possible
(Which may be done by laying it between two
bottles of warm water upon some cotton or
WOOL and lay glass over the box or nest,
then you can sit or stand, as is most convent
ent, and witness the true modus operandi..
Now watch the little fellow work its way into
the World, and yon win be amused and in
structed as l have often been. After it has
got its opening, it commences nibbling mo-
ton with the point of the upper bill on the
outside of the shell, always working to the
right (f you have the large end Of the egg
from you and the hole upward,) until it has
worked its way almost around say within
one-half an inch in a perfect circle it then
forces the cap or butt end Of the shell off, and
then has a chance to straighten its neck,
thereby loosening its legs somewhat, and so,
by their help, forcing the body from the shell.

SAeAorTy OF A HoRsE.--The following ex.

on his way from home, over the high bridge,
across the Winooski, about three.fourtl,s Of 4
mile below Daggett's Mills Village. During
his absence the bridge had been stripped of
all the plank, preparatory to replanking, or
putting in some new string pieces. While
the bridge was In this dIsmantled condition
(which condition was wholly unknown and
unsupported by Mr.. Stephens), he reached
homes on his return from his journey, at a late
hour on an unusually dark night, totally un-
conscious that he had passed through any
peril in passing over the river.
Which way did you Gomez" asked hts
family.
The way went, of cotrsc''
No, you couldn't for the river is roaring
high, and there is not a single plank on the
bridge"

of it."
Here was complete issue and neither
party being in the least disposed to yield;

neighbor-a Mr.. Photographed to the
bridge, and, to their amusement, discovered
by the tracks on the ground, and the oalk.

that the horse, after selecting the broadcast

sidei that the rider was tot made aware, In

THE GEORGIA TREASURY DErAL.
CATION

The st. Louis GLOBE OF Wednesday re-
fers to the Georgia State treasury dcfnl-
cation in this wise;
The good old Democratic State of Geor-
gia. which is entirely free from carpet
bag rule. has Just discovered dcfalca-
ton In the State Treasury to the amount
of 81 100000. The individual to whom
this remarkable financial management Is
attributed is known by the unfamiliar
name of John Jones. We presume he
has military title. ont 1t Is not given.
He is Democrat Of the old school, of
course. That sort Of person generally
digs deep when he puts the spade In.
In connection with this we publish an
associated press dispatch Of the 23d inst. :
The investigation OF the accounts ofthe
State Treasurer. under the direction of
the financial committee Of the Legislature,
shows that ono hundred and fifty thou
sand bonds have been paid twice, and the
examination Is not concluded. state
| Treasurer Jones states to the committee
| that he was unable for long time 10 OBJ
| tain from Henry Clcw.. of New York
the financial agent Of the state, any &C
count of his transactions. When state
ment was finally obtained, II showed tina
the same bonds had been paid in New
York and by the State Treasurer to thu
| amount above stated. Treasurer Jone
charges by implication that Clews palC
State bonds. and without cancelling then
again put them OH the market.
Henry Clews was partner In nation
al bank and an agent of the United State
treasury Tor the sale of government bond'
he was. prior to the panic. and is nov
one of Grants trusted friends. and has al
ways stood high in the confidence Of tn
administration. THAT sort of persol
generally digs deep when he puts hi
spade In" An explanation from Nj
Henry Clcws is now in order.
