Equality of Poets.

Nothing is more foolish than to ask whether one poet is greater than another. Flame is flame, and it's weight is not to be determined by pounds and ounces. Only a stupid huckster would bring his miserable cheese-scales and try to meas ure genius by them. Not only the an- cients but many moderns, have written poems in which the flame of poetry burns just as brightly as in the master works of Shakespeare, Cervantes and Goethe. But these names hold together as if by a secret bond. A kindred spirit beams over their creations, an immortal serenity pervades them like the breath of God; in them shines the modesty of nature. Goethe reminds one constantly of Cervantes even in the peculiaritie, of his style, in that easy prose which is tinged with the sweetest and most in- nocent irony. Even in their defects Cervantes and Goethe resemble each other in proliXity of diction, in those long sentences we often find in them, and which may be likened to process sion of royal equipages. Not seldom only single thought sits in the long extended sentence, which solemnly ad- vances like gilt court-coach with six plumed horses. But that one thought Is always of high rank, if. not of the sovereign himself.-7emple Bur

A Curious Toy.

A curious little scientific toy has made it's appearance in the opticians windows, and, we should think, might rival in popularity the old gyroscope. It consists of tiny windmill enclosed in glass bulb of about three inches in diameter, which revolves without any apparent motive power. The secret of the mystery is that the four vanes of the mill are blackened on one side, and coated with bright foil on the other. The bright side reflects the radiant heat of surrounding objects, and the dark side absorbs it. The enclosing bulb being partially exhausted of air, the difference of temperature creates a sufficient current to cause the vanes to move. The contrivance is called Crookes' Radiometer, from an errone- ous idea which it's inventor had that it's motion was due to the force of rays of light.

 EralIcatinS COnceft.


 Humility has this consolation: It 5 finds that the greatest minds have had the least conceit; that Shakespeare bent sdown from the imperial height of his intellect to be taught by a elown-to be informed by milkmaid that Socrates, a1n' his celebrated voyage in search of knowledge, with his perpetual questions concerning the cause of things, found that knowledge in workman's shop which he could not find amongst the schools of the professors and philoso- phers; that Newton compared himself to child, who, playing on the seashore, had picked up shell here and stone there, and thought them pretty, but - knew of them no more. The bullet of steel is worn smooth and polished when it has passed through the gizzard of an ostrich. The most conceited young prig who ever lived will find his level when brought to the rude experiences of the world.

Cow Music.

The COW has at least four tones, or lows. First, there is her alarmed or distressed low, when deprived of her calf, or separated from her mates-her low. of affection. Then there is her call of hunger, 8 petition for food, sometimes full of impatienee, or her answer to the farmers call full of eag- Serness. Then there is that peculiar frenzied bawl she utters on smelling blood, which causes every member of the herd to lift it's head and hasten to the spot-the native cry of the clan. When she is gored, or in great danger, she bawls also, but that is different. And lastly, there is the long, sonorous .vOiiey she lets off on the hills or in the yard, or along the highway, and which seems expressive of kind of unrest and vague longing-the longing of an imprisoned To for her lost identity She sends her voice forth so that every god on Mount Olympus can hear Ee1 plaint. She makes this sound in the morning, especially in the Spring, as she gows forth to graze.

MATIN SONG.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR.

let the dearest dream depart That night to love revealed, ~ Some eager spirit in my heart My sleeping eyes unsealed. Yet still twas love that led me here And bids my feet delay. Arise, and light the dawn, my dear! Look forth, and bring the day. As out of darkness wonder star ~~ Of whitest ray is born, As birds and blossoms feel afar The coming of the morn, 50 thou hast dawn'd, and now art near,
 To brighten and to stay:
 My being dies in thine, my dear!
 As daybreak dies in day!

4 Fern That Looks Like c Lamb In China there grows a fern which bears curious likeness to 8 lamb. This likeness causes EngIish-speaking people who have seen it, to cali it the Tartarian or Scythian lamb fern. It is covered with dense, soft, vegetable wool, of a yellow color. It's main stem, covered with the wool, lies flat, a short distance above the ground, and other hanging stems, look like little legs sup porting it.-St Nicholas

Bismarck's Dog. - The celebrated Prince Bismarck, am told, has won derful dog-a large lean fellow, as black as @ ravens wing, faithful and devoted as it is possible for even a dog to be. He is inseparable from his dark browed master, following him every where, without taking his eyes from him.
 According. to my informant, when the Prince is called to the Emperor's presence, the dog recognizes the helmet which he wears Gnstead of his military cap), and then he does not follow him. He knows also that he must not accom- pany his master to the Reichstag (the FGr@an enee ordRnnT wh66fr f6o he the dog follows him to the gate of the park, and then his master turns, and, raising his blue cap trimmed with saffron col ored galoon, says briefly, "Reichstag !" The dog understands he lowers his head, droops his tail, and returns sadly to the hOuSe-St, Nicholas.

A CHEAP WOODLAND FENcE.-Take unsharped rails, make the fence three rails high, as follows: Let one end of each rail rest on the ground, raising the other end as high as you want the fence. The first rail is secured in it's place by two stakes driven in the ground in the form of an K. The next rail is placed some feet behind the one staked, so that when two stakes are driven into the ground, and resting on the rail already in position, they will support the second rail at the proper height, and thus the fence is continued, the stakes supporting the upper rail, and also holding the next under one firmly down under the cross.

DIVISION OF LABoR.-The glory of the farmer is that, in the division of labors, it is his part to create. All trade rests at lasts on his primitive activity. He stands close to nature he obtains from the earth the bread and the meat. The food which was not he causes to be. The first farmer was the first man, and all historic nobility rests on possession and use of land. Men do not like hard work, but every man has an excep- tional respect for tillage and feeling that this is the original calling of his race; that he himself is only excused from it by some circumst stances which made him delegate it for time to other hands. If he have not some skill which recommends him to the farmer, some product for which the farmer will give him corn, he must himself return into his due place among the planters. And the progression has in all eyes it's ancient charm, as standing nearest to God, the first cause,

 Why not drive them yourself, Mag gie '" asked her father. %s
 Why, I don't know how, father, I don't believe could do boys work, |" she said, doubtfullI
 '" Come, my girl. I will show you in a minute how it is done. Go on mend ing your harness, John, we will attend to the nails.
 Maggie drove in all the nails success fully, and so pleased was she with her success, that she would have set a a double row around the shed, think, 1t her father had not concluded that these would answer for the present.
 :" There, that little lesson helps to make you more independent, my girl. Now l will teach you some day to catch and harness up horse. You have all ready learned to drive a gentle one. Learn to sharpen 8 knife, and whittle, too, without cutting your fingers. Don't let the doors creak for want of an oiled feather, or the little children's boots get hard in the winter for the want of little grease.
 You, too, boys, might learn to ad- vantage how to make your beds and sweep room, and sew up a bag on a sewing machine. Don't ask any one to sew on button for you, when there hangs cushion with needles in it and mothers thread basket is so handy.
 A little cooking will never hurt you. Many beefsteak and fresh fish have I cooked in my day, and mother says I can beat any girl making pot of cof- fee. 1 don't often get chance to try nowadays, but I have seen the time when my knowledge of business came into play. No telling where you will be cast sometime in your life. The most helpless people i ever met are those who can only do one sort of work. Learn to do some. one thing very we'll indeed, and make that your dependence for living, and add to it just as much skill and knowledge as you can. It costs nothing to carry knowledge.

SADDLE GALLs.-To prevent saddle gals, the saddle should be lined with some smooth hard substance. Flannel or wooden cloth is bad. A hard finished smooth rawhide lining, similar to those of the military saddles, is preferable. Then, if the saddle is properly fitted to the horses back, there will be no gals unless the horse is very hardly used. Gall should be washed with soap and water, and then with solution of six grains of copperas, or blue vitriol, to one tablespoonful of water, which will harden the surface and help to restore the growth of the skin. White hairs growing upon healed gall spots cannot be prevented.

An ErQaimaur House. 0r Hut.-One would think that, cold and dreadful as the Arctic regions are known to be, the inhabitants would need every comfort that could be imagined in the way of a house. But no. The first thing the Esquimaux does in his home building is to clear away the snow and ice from a spot of the right size of his house. This he makes as smooth as he can, leaving one end little higher than the other. The higher end is to serve as parlor and bedroom, the lower as work shop and kitchen Around this frozen snow are laid in such fashion that they form low round roof, re- sembling in shape the form of a hollow ball. By way of window, a small square of rather thin and clear ice is set into the wall. ...
 On the side of the house least ex- posed to the wind IS a long and very low passage-w way leading to the open air. This passage is so low that the inmates of the house have to- crawl through it on their hands and knees. The door Is only a loose block of snow.
 These huts do not appear to be very charming residences, but there are two good things about them. One is, that the high winds of that desolate region cannot possibly blow a hut over, though they can bury it in the snow; the other good thing is that no one can be lived ln longer than season. The poor Els quimaux are, unfortunately, a very dirty people, and if they lived ever so long in house they would not clean it. But the snow-house finally cleans itself in the most thorough manner, for as soon as the warm days of sum mer comes it melts away, and it's in mates must set about building seal skin tent that will shelter them till winter comes again.-St. Nicholas.
