" "Great Oaks From Little AcOrns
Grow"

The Boston Journals New York cor
respondent writes: A New York mer.
chant died the other day whose early life
has a good lesson for young men to copy.
He went as boy into the "Swamp,"
and took the rough work connected with
the leather business. At his mothers
request he joined Sunday-school. From
that he Joined the church. He was not
only peculiar for his readiness to work
but his readiness to give. There was
hardly anything started that he did not
help along in a humble way with
his humble means His church
was in a tight place, as New York
churches are apt TO be. The men,
bers were assessed generally, and he was
put down for twenty-five dollars. He
couldn't have raised that sum If he had
sold all his clothes and trinkets. One
day man came into the yard and
showed him the skin of a muskrat, told
him how he caught the animal and cured
the skin. He said nothing, but thatnight
after work was done he went down to the
dock and captured few rats. He kept
the work up for a week. He cured the
skins and found a ready sale for them.
Before the subscription became due he
had twenty-five dollars and handsome
balance over. He was sensible enough
to see the handsome business open to
him. He turned out TO be frst-class
business man, and died leaving fortune
Of half a million.

A Heavy Sentence.

On the night of the 10Th of August,
Charles H. MAIDEN, twenty years of age,
who had long been disgrace to his
parents, and had been expelled from
home by them, broke into their house at
No. 552 Secord avenue, and stealthily
entered his mothers room. His mother
asked him what he was doing, and he
replied that If she made noise he would
kill her. He then took her pocket book,
which contained eight dollars, and made
his escape. His mother complained to
the police, and few days afterward he
was indicted for burglary in the first de-
gree, and was arraigned in the Court of
General Sessions for trial. The evidence
disclosed the facts above related, and
also that almost from his infancy MAIDEN
had led life of crime, having served
terms in the State Prison aud in the
Penitentiary. The jury rendered ver-.
dict of guilty. Recorder Hackett, in
passing sentence, said that in the whole
course of his official career he never met
such a case of willful wickedness and
total depravity, and therefore he owed il,
as duty to society, top pass the highest
sentence known to the law. He then
sentenced MAIDEN to the State Prison at
hard labor for twenty years. Mac en-
throughout the trial wore an air of bra
vado, and laughed when sentence was
pronounced.-N. y Evening Post.

Scottish Horses.

An English writer, in a recent article
on Scotch and English farmers, says of
the Clydesdale horses: Although Scotch
farmers generally have something to
learn from their English brethren in the
management of cattle and sheep, and re-
quire to improve considerably in the Sc
lection and style of their hacks and har-
ness horses, they stand almost unrivaled
in the breeding and management of their
cart horses. There is no better farmers
horse than the Clydesdale. He has the
power in the right place; he can move of
smartly with two tons behind him /; he
walks four miles an hour trots, if need
be, seven or eight; is active and hardy I;
his feet are sound and good, and Messrs.
Pickford and others who use many horses
in large towns assure me that no horses
stand the work on the stones like the
Clydesdales, and none bear up so we'll
against the rough usage and buffeting to
which these big, willing van horses are so
often subjected. The heaviest and most
valuable Clydesdales are bred within
about twenty-eight miles of Glasgow; I;
their style and usefulness have of late
years been improved by breeding them
with finer and less hair about the legs.
1t is the hay of the Clydesdales that en-
ables the Scotch farmer to overtake his
work with 80 few horses. With nearly
double the area of arabic land, the agri-
cultural returns show that in Scotland
there are 3.9, in England AZ, horses
per one hundred acres. Three horses
are considered amply sufficient to
work one hundred acres of medium land
under four or five course rotation. The
horses are invariably worked in pairs,
plow an acre day, and are used in sim
gle and double carts. Wagons are un-
known in Scotland.

Common Sense Ventilation.

Col. G. Z. Waring, Jr., writes in the
October atlantic as follows: The best
practical statement have met about
ventilation was contained in the remark
of mining engineer in Pennsylvania
"Air is like rope; you can pull it bet
ter than you can push it" All mechan-
ical appliances for pushing air into room
or house are disappointing. What we
need to do is to pull ont the vitiated air
already in the room; the fresh supply
will take care of itself if means for its
admission are provided. 1t has been
usual to withdraw the air through open
ings near the ceiling, that is, to carry of
the warmer and therefore lighter por-
tions, leaving the colder strata at the
bottom of the room, with their gradual
accumulation of cooled carbonic acid
undisturbed. Much the better plan
would be to draw this lower air out from
a point near the floor, allowing the upper
and warmer portions to descend and take
its place. An open fire, with large
chimney throat, is the best ventilator for
aay room; the one-half or two thirds of
the heat carried up the chimney is the
price paid for immunity from disease /;
and large though this seems from its daily
draft en- the wood pile or coal bin, it is
trifing when compared with doctors bills
and with the loss of strength and eff
cheney that invariably result from living
in unventilated apartments.

Mirth at Meal.time.

Everybody should plan to have pleasant
conversation at the table just as they
have good food. A little storytelling
it may be of humorous things, anecdotes,
etc.,-will often stimulate the joyous
elements fthe mind, and cause it to act
vigorously and healthfully. Try and
avoid going to the table all tired out.
Let all troublesome topics be avoided.
Let aches, pains, and funerals not be in
troduced. Don't scold domestics. Don't
discipline children. Think and say some
thing pleasant. Cultivate mirth, and
laugh when anything witty is said. If
possible, never eat alone. Invite friend
of whom you are fond, and try and have
good time. Friendship and friendly
intercourse at the table promotes the
flow of animal spirits, and aids digestion.
Think of sulky churl munching his
meal in dogged temper. He will be-
come dyspeptic. Never bring corrod-
ing growl or complaint to the table. Is
the pudding too salt9 Was the bread
burnt? Do not mention it-especially
at the table. Let that pass, though you
need not eat that which may not be pala
table or healthful, but politely declinei 1t.
He who brings the most happiness to the
table is the best citizen

VOLUME III.
IN THE MARSHES.

Old frost the silversmith has come;
Ills crisping touch Is on the weeds;
The lingering flowers must now succumb
And sing their death song to the reeds;
The purple phlox that bends Its head
With mournful gaze the marsh pool Ger,
Tomorrow may lie limp and dead,
Its feathery tufts TO faunt no more.
The reeds that were so tall and slim,
And grew so straight while ago,
Will bow their heads before the grim
Old monitor that warns Of snow;
Already has the golden rod
Its jewels cast upon the breeze
And the cottonwood with blackened pod
Weeps mutely near the willow trees.
Yet DER the marsh glory flies
AS, shimmeriLg In the misty CLEAN,
The gossamer's flmy meshes rise
Like notes that dance In q sunbeam;
And to the mind this fancy comes,
That haply DER those silver threads
Some telegraphic elf-news huns
Its way to Insect hearts and heads.
Through the wide reaches frequent rings
The sharp crack of the fowler's gun;
From the marsh-ponds the wild duck springs
The plover's wings fash in the sun;
Unto the city gunner's shot
Small warblers In the sedges fall.
Ais meat that comes unto his pot"
The little brown-marsh wren and all.
Ger these low meadows hangs a spell
That holds strange, poetic charm;
hear IL In the far cow-bell
AS vagrant cattle seek the farm.
Fen In these bleak November days
There's gladness for the heart that heeds,
The marsh to me no gloom conveys
Though the gray frost be ON the weeds.

He that questioneth much shall learn
much but especially If he apply his
questions to the skill Of the persons whom
he asketh; for he shall give them occa-
sion to please themselves in speaking,
and himself shall continually gather
knowledge but let this question not be
troublesome, for that is fit for poser |;
and let him be sure to leave other men
their turn to speak nay, If there be any
that would reign and take up all the
time, let him find means to take them
of, and bring others on-as musicians
used to do with those who danced too
long at galliards. ( If you dissemble

A FRENCH machinist has discovered
that, by keeping his turning teols con-
stantly wetted with petroleum, he was
able to cut metals and alloys with them,
although when the tools were used with
out the oil, their edges were soon turned
and julled. The hardest steel can be
turned easily IL the tools be thus wet with
a mixture of two parts of petroleum with
one part of turpentine.

A LADY was asked by her servant
about the nature of the next world, and
whether 1t would be just like this. The
lady, being blessed with happy family
of eleven children, has a skeleton in the
house in the shape of a stocking basket,
that never gets empty, and at whose side
she has spent many midnight hour in
darning. With this specter before her
eyes, she replied TO the girl playfully, "I
don't think we shall be required to darn
stockings after midnight" "Sure, that's
thrue for you, mum, for all the pictures
Of angels ] have ever seen were bare
footed,"

Spain and Cuba.

1t seems that Spain is going to make
one more determined effort to c0Bquer
Cuba. Last Saturday was the seventh
anniversary of the declaration of independ-
ence by the Cuban insurgents; and with
out any material aid from without they
have been able to hold their own against
the whole power of Spain. 1t must have
cost that country at least sixty or eighty
thousand lives in the fight against the
revolutionists, but they still remain un-
subdued in the center of the island. And
now fifteen thousand more men are to be
sent to Cuba before Christmas; twenty
five hundred left Spain last week, and
the rest are to be rapidly forwarded.
It seems that this new spasmodic at
tempt by Spain to complete the conquest
of Cuba is due to notification from eur
Government that If the authority of the
mother country is not re-established in
Cuba by the first of January next ensu-
ing, the United States will feel compelled
to recognize the fact that state of be-
ligerency exists, and to accord to the in
surgents the rights of war. 1t is not
creditable to America that 1t has allowed
this sslaughter to continue 80 long. 1t
has injured trade, wasted many valuable
lives and much treasure, and been con-
slant source of annoyance between the
two countries. We hope the Presidents
message will give some assurance to the
two countries that the Government is
determined to put an end to this anom-
alous state of affairs in the ever faithful
isle.-Ne,o York Graphic.

Boston Millionaires.

Some of the solid men of Boston are
thus noticed by the Traveller: The re-
puted richest man in BoNton in 1850 was
Ebenezer Francis, who was rated at
$4,000, 900, not far from the exact amount
he left. Among those rated at million
and over were the Appletons-Nathan
and William 81 500, 900 each, and Samuel
81 ,0Oo, 900, about what they left; Josiah
Bradlee, 81 200, 900, a fair estimate; John
Bryant, 81 ,500, 900, far less than he left (;
John Gardner, 81, ,250, 900, an amount in
creased largely since Augustus Hemen-
way, $1,000,000, which was undcresti-
mated, and is now six or eight times
larger; Benjamin Humphrey, 81 900, 900;
Abbot Lawrence, $2,000000; Amos
Lawrence, 81 ,000, 900; David and Joshua
Sears, each 81, 500, 900; Robert G.. Shaw,
81 SOC, coo; William Sturgis, 81 600, 900,
largely understimated Johh +. Thayer,
81 100000; John Welles, 81, ,O00, 900 |;
Thomas Wigglesworth, 81 $50, 900, now
nearly four times that amount. With
three exceptions the above have been
dead for several years, and, as a large
portion Of the property left by them was
In real estate, IL will be readily seen that
the estimate of 1875 would place the
total seye-al times larger.

An Illinois HOrse.Thief Lynched.

A special to the Chicago Journal, from
Peoria, says: About one o'clock few
mornings since, nearly dozen men, sup
posed to be from Forest City, Mason
county, Illinois, succeeded in getting
William Pemberton, an escaped con-
vict, away from constable. They fired
several loads of shot into his body, and
not succeeding in killing him in this way,
dragged him to tree and hung him.
The constable made desperate fight for
his prisoner, mortally wounding one of
the mob. Pemberton cut one of the
lynchers terribly. He was under arrest
for horse stealing. Great excitement
prevails.
