Sometime who's all lifes lessons have ssen learned.
And sun and starr forever have SET
Ths things which our weak judgments here have
The things o'er which We grieve with lasAes wet,
Will fash bsfors us, out Of lies dark night
As stars shine most IN deeper tipts Of blue;
And We shall see how Gods plans were right,
And how what seemed reProof was love most true.
And We shall see how, while We frown and Sigh,
Gods plans 60 on at best for you and ME;
How, when We called, he needed not our CRY,
Because his wisdom TO the end could see;
And cen ~ prudent parents disallow
Too much Of sweet TO craving baby hood,

Lies sweetest things becauss It sesmeth good.

And II ssme friend We love 10 lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his lace,

But wear your sorrow with obcdient grace.
And you shall shortly know that lengtbed breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends His friend,
And that, sometimes, the sable pail Of death
Conceals the falreet boon His love can send.
II we could push ajar the gates Of life,
Aud stand within, and all Gods workings see
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find keyl
But not to-day. Then be content, poor hcaril

We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart;

-Intereattng Particular Of the
Valuable Quality Of the
WOrk.
For the first time since Captain Eads
began work al the mouth of the Missile
sippi river report has been made by the
army engineer in charge, which substan-
TALLY admits the success of the jetty sys-
tenn. Captain Brown, Of the United
States engineers, the officer in charge,
has Just forwarded full report to the
secretary of war on the present condition
of the ietties. He states that more work
has been done there during the past four
months than during any previous four
months since the commencement Of the
improvement.
He states that over II 900, 900 cubic
feet Of mattress work has been put in
position on the jetties and at the head of
the pass, and about $4,000 cubic yards Of
stone that the settlement previously
observed at the end of the east jetty has
stopped, and that no further observable
settlement has occurred since last March.
During the past four months 1900 900
cubic yards Of deposit have been secured
out from between the jetties and carried
out 10 sea. About 100000 cubit feet of
deposit have been removed from the shoal
at the head Of the pass, and the only
obstacle TO the passage OF q ship drawing
TWENTY-FIVE feet of water Is near the
end OF the jetties, and is only one hundred
and ferty-five feet in length. There is a
clear channel of twenty feet and six
tenths through the whole improvement.
Capt. Brown thinks there is every
probability that Capt. Eads will be en-
titled to his next payment Of 81, 900, 900
at an early day. He alluded to the gulf
surveys which have been made mile be.
yond the end of the jetties, to ascertain
the alterations in the gulf bottom made
by tho jettie currents, and ends by a
comparison with previous surveys. that
there has been a slight average deepen.
ing. The twenty-foot and thirty.foot
curves have also receded These TIVE
facts are regarded as clearly proving that
there has been no reformation of the
bar in advance ofDthe jetties. The ex.
treme ends Of the jctties, he says, are
permanently established and not likely
to be damaged by severe storms. The
report contains large amount Of valuable
scientifc and explanatory statistical
matter. Its tone Is highly encouraging
TO Capt. Eads, who Is confident that b,
will obtain his next payment from the
government in ninety days or sooner, =

What to Eat In Hot Weather.

The happiest people, and who live the
longest, are those who have good apps-
tites and eat square meals, especially in
summer. Nonsense all that about not
eating meat in hot weather; time you
want it. Hot weather is weakening,
meat is strengthening. If you let up on
anything, do it on the drinking, for a
voluntary cold bath is much more re-
freshing than an involuntary hot one !;
and it is wellknown fact in physiology
that person who takes cold drinks often
is in hot water all the time. We owe an
immense deal Of rot, in regard to eatinA
TO the wave of vegetarianism which
swept over the country a quarter of a
century ago, and deranged many persons
minds and stomachs to an extent it will
take generations to efface. 1t is all very
we'll for the sick to adopt methods Of
cure, and the "food cure" is probably
much better, at least less harmful, than
the medicine cure; but for well and
hearty men and women to deliberately
70 to work TO reduce their vitality and
expose themselves, weakened to the
attacks of disease, is folly which many
sensible persons have tested, and found
to be folly. Once attacked with food
lunacy Of this description the victim
never knows when to stop; he gives his
stomach mountains Of vegetable matter
to disintegrate, IN the vain hope Of ex.
tracing moiety Of the strength which
would be obtained from small quantity
Of good mcat-and eats and repents, and
repents and eats-until he has laid the
foundation of dyspepsia that costs a
lifetime. Good broiled steak or chops,
roast or boiled mutton and roast beef,
with plenty of stewed tomatoes, fresh
peaches and good bread, constitute the
cardinal points OF healthy dietary for
the present time. Eat, drink water
moderately, a cup Of tea morning and
evening and one glass or more Of water on
retiring, and be happy.
