The house is on First street. The

crutches. The wife is oyer forty, with
hair very white and pleasant face. The
house is furnished meagerly but neatly.
A stove and few chairs comprise the
furniture. There are two young chill

sues: Good afternoon" "Please take

SELF for BeeOming Lecturer.
joaquin Miller made his first appear
auce as lecturer in Lincoln Hall, at
Washington, last Saturday night, Presi.
dent Grant, various Senators and Con-
gressmen, with other gentlemen in Off
cial position, being among his audience.
The following, as reported by the Ma
tional Republican OF Monday, was the
opening of his lecture:
When | was about to leave the noun
tains of Oregon a few years ago, and try
my fortunes in the great wide world, as
the phrase runs, an old man, sitting on
worm fence, enc evening, with his
buckskin legs hanging down, said to me,
very tenderly and very wisely: "Joa.
quin, don't you go; the worlds an i'm
postor, and it'll feed yoa on husks, as it
did the prodigal son." But | told him |
was resolved to go; then the old man
looked down into the sun that was fall
ing into the Pacific Sea like a mighty
hemisphere Of fire, then up at his hocks
Of sheep feeding on the hillside, and said:
Wal, Joaquin, if you must go, 60; but
you'll come back some day to the old
ranch. You'll be sick of the world and
sorry you vent and you won't have no
buckskin clothes, and you won't have no
home. But when you do come back
for you're good-meanin' boy, Joaquin
and have no buckskin clothes aud no
home, you must come to me, and I'll
give you home, and You shall live with
me and take care Of my sheep, at forty
dollars month, as long as you live"
Well, have worn out my other
lothes. and have no home, but | can't
60 back to the old man in the sheep
business, for, as the French say he is
dead and gone over to the majority, and
/ come to you tonight to lecture. /
make my first bow to you this side of the
Rocky Mountains. l tell you all this to
show to you that this is not my favorite
pursuit, and also to show to you that
have not the highest opinion Of the pres
ent lecturer. Nor have l of any man
who wins notoriety or name in quite
another field, and then consents to ex.
hibit himself for hire and call that lee
turing. No, had preferred the sheep
business, and at this moment wish | had
accepted the old mans offer, and possi-
bly,, before conclude, you will wish so
too, Certainty and seriously, my ambi-
ton lay beyond this when l, boy, pad
died my canoe across the waters of Ore
gon, and thought that when came to
the capital Of my country l should come
to take part in the oounsels of the ma
ton, to advocate some great question
that would thrill the people, instead of
standing here to talk upon tame theme,
on foreign subject and for price.
However, if you please, we will now look

ment, whether for FIVE minutes or FIVE
hours.
II is the habit Of reading, rather than
the time at our command, that helps us
on the road Of learning. Many of the
cultivated persons, whose names have
been famous as students, have given only
two or three hours day to their books.
II we make use Of our spare minutes in
the midst OF our work, and read little,
If but page or paragraph, we shall
find our brains quickened and our toll
lightened by just so much increased sat-
lsfaction as the book gives us. Nothing
helps along the monotonous daily round
so much as fresh and striking thoughts,
to be considered while our hands are
busy. A new idea from volume is like
oil which reduces the friction of the ma
chinery of life. What we remember
from brief glimpses into books often
serves as stimulus to increased actien,
and becomes one of the most precious
deposits in the treasury of our recollec-
ton. ALI knowledge is made up of small
parts which would seem insignificant in
themselves, but which, taken together
are valuable weapons for the mind and
substantial armor for the soul. Read
anything continuously" says DR.. John
son, and you will be learned. " The odd
minutes which we are inclined to waste,
if carefully availed Of, will in the long
run make golden hours aud golden days
that we shall ever be thankful for.

Thn Hnbif of Reading.

The following from Scribner's Month
ly contains some very suggestive
thoughts:
II have no time to read" is the com
mon complaint, and especially Of women
whose occupations are such as to prevent
continuous book perusRl. They seem to
think because they cannot devote as
much attention to hooks as they are
compelled to devote to their avocations,
that they cannot read anything. But
this is a great mistake. 1t isn't the
books we finish at sitting which always
do us the most good, Those we devour
in the odd moments, half a dozen page;
at a time, often give us more satisfao
ton, and are more thoroughly digested
than those we make particular effort
to read. Tho men who have made their
mark in the world have generally been
the men who have in boyhood formed the
habit OF reading at every available mo-

An ANTIQUE Corset.

At reunion Of the pioneers of the
Cuyahoga county, Ohio, various bits
Of antiquity we're exhibited, and
among them "a woman's corset. made
in 1852, and marked Ruth Hanch-
ett " 1t would be easy to write sweet
little piece of,poetry about that garment,
and the pretty form which it once en-
circled; but on the other hand, Ruth
might have been dumpy and ugly, with
that peculiar salivSness which tight
lacing produces. AS the corset is said
to be extremely old-fashioned," it was
probably piece Of armor which Ruth
didn't find over comfortable; and we are
sorry for her. There was also a red
cloak century old exhibited, formerly
owned by Mary French and about this
we have no misgivings. We have no
doubt Of the prettiness of the little Red
Riding-hood Of Cuyahoga. 4 girl named
Mary with red cloak couldn't have been
otherwise than charming, The very
bear killed by pioneer, whose skull was
exhibited, would have gone of if he had
met her without touching or tasting her.
