Tretting.

One fretter can destroy the peace OF
Is family, can disturb the harmony Of Il
neighborhood, can uusettle the councils
of cities and hinder in legislature Of ma
tons He who frcts is never the one who
mends, who heals, who repairs evils;
more, he discouraaes, enfeebles, and too
often disables those around him, who,
but for the gloom and depression of his
company, would do good work and keep
up brave cheer. The effect upon sen
sitive person of the mere neighbo rhood
of fretter is indiscribable. 1t is to the
soul what a cold icy mist is to the body
more chilling than the btterest storm.
And when the fretter is one who is be-
loved, whose nearness Of relation to us
makes his fretting at the weather seem
like personal reproach to US. thea the
misery of it becomes indeed insupport-
able. Most men call frettipg a, minor
faalt-a foible, and not vice. There is
no vice except drunkenness which can 80
utterly destroy the peace, the happiness
of home.

THEY Would Nor LIGHT.-They tell
this story of Ralph Waldo Emmerson.
His best thoughts were apt to strike him
after he had gone to bed. Once calmly
resigning to rest, ready for dreams, SPAR
king notions began to fit through bis
marvellous brain. He knew if he did not
catch them, then, they would vanish, nev,
er to return so up he gets, strikes
light, and makes his nocturnal notes.
One night the philosopher had arisen
from his bed, and was cropping around IN
the dark for n card of misplaced matches
His hand, at length, came in contact with
his wife's elaborate comb, which he ms
took for a card of lucifcrs. One after
another he snapped away the teeth. try
ing to light them on the wall, until not
one was left. His loud and emphatic
mutterings of disappointment aroused
Mrs. Emmerson.
What, on earth, husband, are you
doing, there, in the dark 2"
"Only a thought that had IN my
mind, my love- -,
But the thought had fed, and ssi!l, IN
the dark he went back to bed.
In the morning Mrs +. found that her
husbsnd's fugitive thought had been an
expensive ono for her-haying cost her
her best comh-but she could not ma u
in her heart to scold.

POET
From the New Haven Comm Register.
Where did | Come from, Papa?

where did Come from, Papay
Where did como from, papa?
Darling, It's hard TO tell.
But listen, IN weave II story,
Perhaps twill do MS well.
In heaven, they say, the angels,
Bright, glorious beings dwcll.
And like to those glorious beings
Are little children dear
So the Saviour of all hath told us,
While journeying with us here:
And one of those gentle spirits
Felt sad for our lonely sphere,
And asked of the blessed Jesus
If he might come to earth,
Changing his heaneniy garments
For those of lesser worth?
And so it may be. my darling,
You came by a mortal birth.
At least when hear your prattle,
And smile at your guleless glee,
/ fancy better spirit
Is walking alsng with me.
And strive, by its sw etcSample,
A child myself to he'
So live. my cor forting darling,
That here in o world of pain
Your visit shall be a blessing
That has not been made in vain.
And up in God's beautiful kingdom
We both shall be going again.

SOMETHING ABOUT GLAss.-The chief

SOMETHING ABOUT CAUSE.-THE chief
discoveries in the arts have been made
by accident, not from forethought or a
deep knowledge of the principles in ma
ture. 1t is related that the discovery
of glass.making was effected by seeing
the sand vitritied, on which fire had
been kindled. The discovery of the
manufacture of plate-glass is said to
have been equally accidental. Blan-
court relates, as the mode in which
the casting of plate-glass was discover
ed, that person who was melting
some of this material in a crucible,
accidentally SPLIT it, while fluid, upon
the ground. This ran under some of
the large flat stones, wherewith the
place was paved, which obliged the
workman to take up the stone in order
to recover the glass. He then found it
in the form of plate, such rs could
not be produced in the ordinary pro
cess of blowing. The mans attention
being reused by this fact, he was un-
able to sleep, and conceiving at once
the superiority of this method for
forming mirrors, he Immediately com
menced experimenting, and before the
day appeared had provedthe practibil-
ity of the improvement which the
purest chance had thus placed within
the sphere of his observation.

DO YOU LOVE ME LITTLE PET.

On her cheeks the crimson flushed
Like the rosy blush OF morn,
And the dreamy evelIds dropped.
Smooth the lip with covert scorn,
Then she raised her eyes to mine
All! the scene dream of yet
And che pressed her lips to mine
Do you love me little pet!
The dew OF love was on her lip.
The dream of love was in her eye;
The lips 'twould charm a bee to sip,
Her bosom rose with billowy sigh,
The burning words came from my lips.
"You will be mine, you'll be mine yet.
Her face among her curls she hid
Do you love me little pet!
Years have passed since we were wed,
And for years you've pulled my hair.
I've often wished that was dead;
Ger my head you broke a chair;
My eyes are dim but still trace,
While ysur temper fingers yet.
The marks of nails upon my face
VIII you have me little pet?

A Western paper of the Independent

A Western paper of the Independent
school says''there is no man so intense
ly and meanly partisan as not to re-
joice, for the credit of the country. if,
after all the searching Investigations
in progress, the President himself
should be found blameless.' Certain
ly there is not; but how after all is it
possible to believe that the President
was so dull and blind and stupid as not
to know the character of the men who
surrounded him? The whole country
was denouncing them. Did no shad-
ow of suspicion ever flash across his
mind? His brother Orvil has sworn
that on more than one occasion the
President sent him word where there
was good post trader ship vacant
Did he imagine that Orvil was filling
these offices from pure disinterested
motives of patriotism? We should be
glad to believe the President innocent
amid all the rascality and corruption
that have disgraced his administration
during the last seven years; but was it
possible that he could have been SO
blind as not to have seen what was
going on all: around him?-Balt. Ga
zette.
