IRRITATING DAYS.

There are times when everything seems
to go wrong. From seven o'clock in the
morning, till ten o'clock in the evening,
affairs are in twist. You rise in the
morning and the room is cold, and
button is off, and the beef steak is tough
and the stoves smoke. and the pipes
burst. and you start down the street
nettled from head to foot. All day long
things are adverse. Insinuations. petty
losses. meanness on the part of custom
ers. The ink bottle upsets and spoils
the carpet. Some one gives wrong
turn to the danper and the gas escapes.
An agent comes in determined to insure
your life. when it is already insured for
more than it is worth, and you are afraid
some one will knock you on the head to
get the price of your policy; but he
sticks to you. showing you pictures of
old Time, and the hour-glass. and deaths
scythe. and skeleton, making it quite
certain that you will die before your
time unless you take papers in his COM
pany. Besides this, you have cold in
your head, and grain of dirt in your
eye. and you are walking uneasiness.
The day is out of JOINT, and no surgeon
can set it.
The probability is that if you would
look at the weather vane you would find
that the wind is northeast, and you
might remember that you have lost
much sleep lately. 1t might happen to
be that you are out of joint instead of
the day. Be careful and not write
many letters while you are in that irri-
table mood. You will pen some things
that you will be ssrry for afterward.
Let us remember that these spiked
nettles of life are part of our discipline.
Life would get nauseating if it were all
honey. The table would be poorly set
that had on it nothing but treacle. We

even when we do not feel pathetic. If
this world were all smoothness, We would
never be ready for emigration to high
er and better. clustering March and
weeping April prepare us for a shining
May. This world is hitching-post.
Instead of tying fast on the cold noun
tains, we had better whip up and hasten
on toward the warm inn, where our
good friends are looking out of the win
dow watching to see US come up.

A KNOWING BIRD.-Where do you
think bird once built its nest? On the
edge of quarry of slate SO near that
when the rock was blasted, piece of
the flying and falling slate frightened
and incommoded the poor bird very
much. 1t was thrush. Yet she did not
change Ter quarters. But being pretty
observing bird, she noticed that at the
ringing of bell the men started and
ran. "Ah." thought the bird. "l'll run.
too" So the next time the train was
fred and the bell rang to warn the men
away, the thrush few from her nest and
lighted among them-indeed, close un-
der their feet. The explosion over, she
returned to her nest and they to their
work.
This she did whenever they blasted.
Of course it highly diverted the men,
and visitors were told of her sensible
and discerning conduct. They were anx-
ious to see the thrush. The slate could
not be blasted to crafty visitors, but
the bell could be easily rung. and it
was. The bird heard it and down she
few. After a few times she saw herself
hoaxed, and when the bell rang again.
she peeped over her nest to see if the
men left. If they did not, she sat still
and cooked her head. as much as to say,
mo, gentlemen, | am not to be cheated
again. Life in my nest is too serious to
be tri6ed away for your amusement. No
more make believes for me. | see thro'

LORD! WON'T THEY BE
SURPRISED.

The following story was told by Gen.
eral Slocum in speech to the Independ-
ent Democratic Committee in Brooklyn
just after the late election.
"a few months after | was sent West
during the late war, | met one of the
most accomplished generals who ever
wore the American uniform-I refer to
General Mcpherson. We had been at
West Point together, and this was our
first meeting since we had left the acad-
emy. In talking over the scenes through
which we had passed since we parted at
:. Nest Point. our conversation turned
upon the battle of Pittsburgh Landing.
where Mcpherson acted as chief of staff
to General Grant McPherson describ-
ed to me the disasters of the first day
of that great battle-of how he had
been compelled from hour to hour dur
ing the whole day to be the bearer Of
bad news to his chief. 1t was sue
cession of reverses from morning till
night. When night came on and it was
becoming too dark for the enemy to con-
tinue the fight, Mcpherson rode up to
Grant, who cody said to him, We'll,
Mac, how do things look 2 Bad enough
General. We have lost, think, about
one half our artillery and at least
third of the infantry. Our line is brok-
en- in several places, and we are pushed
back. as you see. pretty near the bank
of the river Grant made no reply,
and y IMIfRIRahify-snd to him. We'll, Gen.
eral, under these circumstances what do
you intend to do?' Dol Why, | shall
reform the lines and attack them at day.
break. Lord won't they be surprised" ;"
Grant executed his plan to the letter,
and before o'clock next morning the
enemy was flying in every direction.
Whatever may be mans occupation,
if he meet with disaster, know of no
better motto for him to adopt then the
words of General Grant: Reform the
lines and attack them again at day
| break. ~

KEEP US SWEET.
BY REV. DWIGHT WILLIAMS.

We are workers in one vineyards;
Some are strong. aud some are weak;
But the smiling Of the vintage
Is the common Joy we seek.
Some must trail the vine and prune it,
Some must stoop to dress the mould;
But the few can pluck the clusters,
In the autumn's haze and gold.
We are workers altogether;
Let us show no vain conceit,
While we pray the Lord Of harvest,
Make us loving, make us sweet.
We are builders. aud the temple
Rises slowly, day by day;
Some must lay the polished corners,
Some the brick Of heavy clay.
Only one can place the cap-stone
On the summit grand and high.
While the shout Of Grace unto IL"
Rises to the vaulted sky.
We are workers altogether.
Let US haste with ready feet,
Praying to the Master Builder.
Make US loving. keep us sweet.
We are fighting in the battle.
But we cannot all command;
Moss oS murcti ut Orucrs,
Forward like a soldier band
Fame is not the hero's blessing.
But the sense OF duty done,
Life and treasure all are ventured
Ere the victory is won
We are workers altogether
In the battles fash and heat;
Let us pray our great Commander.
Make US loving. keep us sweet.
All our hearts in us are throbbing
For the good Of human kind;
But we see not altogether
With a single eye and mind.
Let each workman speed his brother,
With voice of love and cheer;
let us not prevent each other
With our words Of blame severe.
We are workers altogether.
For earlh's brotherhood complete;
Let us pray, in all our dong.
Make us loving, keep us sweet.
Golden prizes lie before us.
And the the race is open now;
Not the swim alone are victors.
Wearing crown upon their brow,
For the lame and halt Unes running
God has promised each Il goal;
o my poor aud sorrowlng brother.
Thou shalt he a victor soul
We are workers altogether.
Totteiing &C. and mankind feet;
So we pray to Jesus ever,
Make us loving, keep US sweet.
Let the blessed kingdom hasten,
When the will of God shall be,
Evermore the law and pleasure
or his people glad ana free;
Would we strive to be the greatest,
Let us then be servants all,
God has crowns and jewels waiting,
For the lowly and the small.
We are workers altogether.
Every brother let us greet;
As we pray the Lord or Glory,
Make Us loving. keep us sweet.

PLEASANT SIGHTS.

How it cheers and gladdens the heart
to have something pleasing for the eye
to rest upon. no matter if it be but
simple engraving, or bunch of autumn
leaves tackled up here and there on the
bare wall. A few sea shells. little stat
uette, or even pot Of green moss grow
ing on tie window-sill, give an air of
taste and refinement to the most homely
cottage. And how true it is that the 81
lent influence of these little surrounding
helps to make up the great whole that
purifies and uplifts the soul to something
higher and better !
II remember once to have called on
poor sick woman, who lived in miserable
lodging and without many of the neces-
saries of life (; yet | noticed on the old
rickety stand near her bedside flower
pot containing pansy. rich in its tints
of purple and gold "Oh p | replied,
''what beautiful pansy." ''1es," she
exclaimed, her pale countenance light
ing up with tenderness and joy, '.it is
very beautiful to me, and often leads
my thoughts away from myself, from my
suferings and sorrows. Somehow, | nev-
er feel half SO poor when l have some
thing pretty to look at. No matter
how humble our station in life. there is
always something to cheer the heart and
make US happy if we would but accept
it. The pure air of heaven, and the glad
sunshine, are they not for US all +? The
sweet cloyeEl NaP0nng OF BIRDS, and
the rippliug of the brooks, do they not
speak to US of love, hope and happiness ?
Yes, there are many beautiful things in
the world, if we would but see them.
Yet how many men and women live in
continual discomfort and repinings, SEEM
ingly unmindful of the gifts with which
God surrounds them

IMPORTANCE OF THE BLACK SEA.-The
Black sea in the natual maritime outlet
for one-half the European territories of
Russia. The road from this sea to the
Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the
East lies through the Bosphorus and the
Dardanelles, and the Sultan, by an an

sian ships of war. The Western powers,
England in particular, insist that Tur-
key shall keep Russia shut up, and
thereby secure advantages to themselves.
The Manchester Examiner expresses
the belief that if England fillod the
place of Russia the restriction would
not be submitted to. The same paper
counsels the opening of the Bosphorus
aud the Dardanelles to Russia, believ-
ing that if this were done it would les
