SHE ALWAYS MADE HOME
HAPPY.

In an old churchyard stood stone,
Wcather-markeu w aud stained,
The hand OF time had crumbled il,
SO only part OF IL remained,
Upon one side could Just trace
In incmory Of our mother;
Anepitaph which spoke of "home"
Was chiseltd OH the other.
Id gazed OH monuments Of fame,
High towering to the skies,
I'D seen the sculptured marble-stoIe
Where II great hero lies,
But by tllis.epitaph paused,
Aud read 1t DER and DER,
For | had never seen inscribed
Such words as these before.
"Shc always made home happy
A noble record lett,
A legacy OF memory sweet
70 thOs she loved berelt.
And what n testimuney given
by those who kncs her best,
Engraven on this plain rude stone
That marked the mothers rest.
twas an humble .esting place,
| knew that they were poor.
But they had seen their mother sink,
Aud palien ly endure:
They had marked her cheerful spirit,
When bearing, one by one,
Her many burdens up the hill,
Till all her work was done,
So, when was stilled her weary heart,
fullpu her hands 81 white
And che WAS cnrricd from the home
She'd always made 50 bright,
Her children rulsed a monument
That money cocid not buy,
As witness OF noble life
Whose record is Oh high.
A noble life but written not
Ia an book OF fame,
Among the list of Noted ones
None ever saw her nannt;
fJr only her own household knew
The victories she had wOIL
And none b they could testify
How well her work was done,
Better than costly monument
Oi marble rich aud rare,
Is than glnlc stone whose humble lace
Such words Ut hunpr bear,
Oh, may We cllisel OH the hearts
Or those OF llome we love
An epilnph whose truth may be
Witnessed for us above.

Practical Effects of Humor.

All our prominent representative men
have had more or less of this faculty,
and use it more as the surest talisman to
open the popular ear. John P. Hale,
ever won asmile with his waggery Gen
eral Houston, with his eccentrioity John
Van Buren,, with his playful sarcasm
d. S. Dickinson, with his trenchant,
Scriptural, practical, ironical hits Thorn
as Corwin, with his inimitable drollery;
Thaddeus Stevens, with his dry and
biting sarcasm; and Proctor Knott, with
his elaborate Duluthiana had the
charm which drew the crowd and held
men while they talked. The masses
leap to hear man of humor like But
Ter, even when his speeches are full
charged with diabolism, or to hear
minister like Beecher, and even from
the pulpit await the inevitable laugh !
1t is all the better if it has point; but
give the laugh without point, rather
than no laugh at ALL There is no ruse
SO common as this, at least in the West,
as the argunsentum ad ris,tm. Turn the
laugh on youropponent, Sir Sophist, and
though he pile Pelion on Ossa of argu-
ment, you have him down This may
seem more creditable to our humor than
to our sense. But let us see. One of
the utilities of humor is the use made
of it by our writers and speakers in
what is called the reductio ad absurdum.
This use may be abused but we can not
spare it for all that, so long as we have
so many empires in medicine, pettifog
gers in law, demagogues in politics, pre-
tenders in religion, and snobs in society
Our institutions are favorable to tht
growth of mushrooms. They grow w
in night around the roots Of our wide
spreading freedom. We have theorist
without sagacity, philanthropists withou
morality, and practical men without sen
timent. We have men whopass curren
for eagles, which little touch from tn
point of humor reduces to tomtits. w
have Wanting patriots whose patriotism
as of old. is scoundrelism-men VIII

Such men wither, under ridicule, to thei

Jim Fenton ON the Parable OF the
Talents

Il don't know nothin' bout it, said
Jim, at the conclusion, "but it seems TO
me the man was little rough on the
Teller with one talant. Twas a mighty
small capital to start with, an he didn't
give i'm any chance to try it over; but
what bothers me the most is about the
mans trav'lin into fur country. They
hadn't no chance to talk with i'm about
it, and git his notions. 1t STAINS to rea-
son that the TELLER with one talent would
think his master was stingy, and be riled
over it"
"You must remember, Jim, that all
he needed was to ask for wisdom in or
der to receive it," said Mr.. Benedict.
"No; the man that travelled into a
fur country STAINS for the Almighty, and
he'd got out o the way. He'd jest g n
these fellers his capital, and quit, aud
left 'em to go it alone. They couldn't
90 after i'm, and he couldn't "a hearn a
word they said, lie did what he thought
was all right, and didn't want to be
bothered. i never think about prayin'
till l git into tight place. 1t STAINS to
reason that the Lord don't want people
comm to him to do things that they can
do themselves. l shouldn't pray for
breath sh'd Jest hist the winder. II
wanted bucket o water, | sh'd go for
it. If mans got common sense, and
a pair o hands, he hain't no business to
be botherin' other folks till he gifts into
what he can't git out of. When he's
squeezed, then in course he'll squeal. II
seems to me that it makes sort OF q
spooney of man to be always askin fol
what he can git if he tries. If the fel
Ter that only had one talent had brushed
round, he could "a made a spec on it
an had somethin' to show fur it, but he

think he was meaner nor pusly not tt
make the best ont, but he didn't need t
pray for sense, for the man didn't wan
him to use no more nor his material stock
an he knowed if he used that he'd b.
all right"
But we are told to pray, Jim" sale
Mr.. Balfour, " and assured that it il
pleasant to the Lord to receive our peti
lions. We are even told to pray for oul
daily bread"
"Well, it can't mean jest that, for thu
Teller that don't work fort don't git it
an he hadn't oughter git it. IF he dom
lift his hands, but jest sets with hi
mouth open, he gifts mostly flies. The
old birds, with a nest full o howlin
young ores, might go on, | s'pose, pick
in up grasshoppers till the cows come
hom, an feedin' EN-, but they don
They jest poke 'em out o the nest, an
larn 'em to fly an pick up their owl
livin an that's what makes birds o
em. They pray mighty hard fur thei
daily bread, | tell ye, and the way tn
old birds answer is jest to poke 'em out
and let 'em slide. I don't see many
prayin' folks, an | don't see many folk
anyway but / have consait that fel
Ter can pray 50 much an do so little
that he won't be nobody. He'll jes
grow weaker an weaker all the time." >

Iregard Mr., Eddy as one of the most capable and
succesatl practitioners with whom havehad official
intercourse.
CHARLES MASON, Com'r of Patents"
II have no hesitation in assuring inventors that
they cannot employ man competent and trust
oorthy and more capable of putting their applica-
lions in form to secure for them early and ia
vorable consideration at the Patent Office.
EDMUND BURKE. late Com'r. of Patents"
Mr.. Il. Ii. Eddy has made for me over THIRTY
applications for Patents having been successful in
almost every case. Such unmstakable proof OF
great talent and ability on his part leads me to
ommend all inventors to apply to him to procure
their Patents, as they may be sure of having the
most faithful attention bestowed their cases. and
at very reasonable charges. ~
