ALL who have read many narratives O
shipwrecks must have been struck with
the fearfal sutferings to which boats crews
are exposed through the want Of fresh
water. A boat cannot carry water tanks
of any size, yet she cannot make voyage
without water, and often men have escaped
from sinking vessel only to die worse
death for want of fresh water, in an open
boa, under tropical sun. This danger
can now be avoided by filling ships boats
with very simple and compact conden-
sing apparatus which has just been invent
ed and patented by firm in Dublin, Ire
land. I, consists of a small boiler heated
by paratine lamp. The steam from
the boiler, which is filled with salt
water, i. condensed in worm tub,
passing through the side of the boat
second pipe allowing the hot water to
escape, and so keeping the supply always
cool. This apparatus will produce from a
pin. to pint and half of pure water per
hour. There is a small tank for collecting
and flseripg the water, and a second tank
contains supply of oil sufficient to keep
the lamp burning ten days, The whole is
fitted in the bow of the boat, where it is
protected from the wash of the sea bv a
little "forecsstle' built over it. Besides
removing some OF the wors! horrors @!
shipwreck, this invention will be OF SER
vice in other wavs-for instance, to boats
navigating and exploring brackish lagoons
and arms of the sea, or making shor.
voyages along The coast.

ORTHODOX INTOLERANCE.

A cable despatch to the New York

families to quit the place within three
days. Compelled in this manner TO leave
their employment, their busines. and
even their properly behind them, many Of
them di.d OF cold and hunger by the

TIRED MOTHERS.

A little elbow leans upon your knee:
Your Tired knee that has so much to bear;
A Oh Ids dear eyes IRE looking lovingly
From underneath thatch of tangled hair.
Perhap YOU do not heed the velvet touch
Of warm moist fl gers folding yours so tight
You do not prize this blessing over much.
You almost are too tired to pray tonight.
But it's a blessedness! A year ago
/ did not see it as | do to-day.
We are SO dull and thankless and too slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away.
And now it seems surprising range to me,
That while bore the badge of motherhood,
did not kiss more oft and tenderly.
The little child that brought me only good.
And if, some night when you sit down to rest,
You miss this elbow from your tired knee.
This restless. curly head from off your breast,
This lisping tongue that chatters constantly:
If from your own the dmpled hand had slipped,
To come no more within your palm again;
II the white feet into the grave had tripped,
l could not blame you for your heartache then
wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their gown:
Or that the footprints when the days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them frown
II could find little muddy boot,
Or cap or jacket on my chamber floor,
If l could kiss rosy restless foot
And hear its patter in my home once more
If could mend broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make a kite to reach the sky,
There is no woman in Gods world cou d say
She was more blissfully content than |.
But, OH the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by shining head
NV singing birdie from its nest has flown,
The little boy used to kiss is dead

A Horse that Had Habit of Kickin'.

The following incident is stated to
have actually occurred by Bangs"
who sends it to the Boston Globe: "a
woman with face SO awfully plain that
the flies wouldn't light on her, drove in
to shed in the rear of Green street,
Cambridge, last Tuesday, with load Of
whortleberries, and while the stupid old
horse stood at the manger, champing
provender and trying to kick a marsh
fly off his ear with his hind foot, he
threw himself, and before he recovered
his feet he knocked the dasher and the
end of the ancient wagon out, and sent
perfect shower Of berries almost down
to Fort Washington. The woman, who
was negotiating with a Central square
provision man for her load, rushed back
and yanked the old animal on to his
feet, and after planting three or four tire.
mendous blows on his skinny sizes with
her fist, she remarked to the crown that
had gathered to see the fun: "This
blasted boss Il never git over the habit
of kickin'. Last week he kicked a bee
line over a barn. Two years ago he
made me wilder; my ole man went
to hitch him to q harrer and he pasted
him III the abdomen with his hoots, and
the poor man was with his Redeemer
before he struck the ground" And the
Old lady backed the horse out OF the
shed and gave the lines jerk that must
have loosened every back tooth in the
animals head as she started to return
to LittletOn.

He would have moved in better So
ciety than your sisters, if my family

MRS. O'REHLY'S GRIEVANCE.
Complicated Beyond Hope by Barney

Mrs. OReilly came into court mutter-
ing: She stepped through the gate
which bars the entrance to His HOnor's
presence muttering, and even went so
far as to shake her fist at the good-na-
tured old court officer, who toddled up
to ask what her business was.

to a single wisp of hair trailed over the
shining pate of the officer with elabor-
ate care.

I'll but you, said the irate dame,
and she looked as though she would.
The officer gracefully retired.

JOHN BRoUGHAM, in his Birds and
Poets" tells the best story illustrative
Of boys proneness to tell, and his
calm confidence in the power of lie,
we ever read. A teacher after long
and patient watching, catches a boy
eating an apple in school, a misdeed he
had frequently committed and as re-
peatedly lied out of. "Ah, ha," ex-
claimed the teacher. "Pve caught you
at it this time" Caught me at what?"
asked the boy, in conscious innocence.
Eating that apple" "Aint eating no
apple" The astonished teacher COM
PEELED the bog to open his mouth, and
a great slab of apple was extracted
therefrom. "Didn't know it was there"
sturdily asserted the boy.-Bawhngtora

WANTS MORE OF IT.-lt seems that
Mr.. Hayes is so tickled with his recep-
ton in the Southern States during his
recent trip that he wants to go back
again and take look at the Carolinas,
Alabama, and, perhaps, Louisiana. The
assemblages that greeted him at Louis
vile, Nashville, Knoxville, Lynchburg,
and other Southern cities, were not
boisterous yelling mobs, like those he
encountered in New England and Ohio,
but dignifed and orderly. Indeed,
they were SO much SO that he expresses
a desire to see and hear more Of those
Rebel greetings" as some of the ex-
cesslvely loyal organs expressed it.
Tho wrong OK is being gored. That's
what is the matter with those who
growl and snap and snarl at Hayes
because he leans upon the Constitution
and the Democratic platform, so far as
controlling the army and tho holding
of elections goes. If he would admin
lister the government in open violation
of the Constitution, as Lincoln and
Grant did, all would be right with
these growlers.

CHEAP CoNsoLATIoS.--In order, prob.
ably, to discount the effect of the Ohio
elections upon Pennsylvania, the Re.
publican State Committee comes out
in an address to what is left of the
panic.stricken cohorts of their army.
Uniforms them, much 10 their surprise,
that the "party has suffered an apparent
disaster in Ohio" "The result has
only local and temporary significance"
"The Republicans of Pennsylvania will
bo neither disarmed nor dlsmayed.'
OF course the writer knew he was not
telling the truth, and if the result had
been otherwise he would just as readily
have announced that the result had
great significance. Tho wonder II
that he expects anybody to read such
stupid address and believe what he
says. Ohio settles Pennsylvania, and
the Republican committee would dc
much better to recognize this fact
shut up shop and 60 home, than tt
spend time and money running cam
paign, that is only the forlornest shad
ow OF desperate hope.

We know Frank, and the three
Radical clerks in the State Trcasurers

not fair. The whole set should either
be in prison or free. 1t is the halt way
business we object to. When FIVE men
plundcr the Taxpayers and divide the
spoils equally among each other, they
should fare tho same fate. Distinctions
are odious.
