The Value of q Dollar.

A silver dollar represents days
work for the laborer. 1t is given to a
boy. He has no idea of what it is
worth. He would be as likely to give a
dollar as dime for top or any other
toy. But if the boy has learned to earn
the dimes and dollars by the sweat of
his face he knows the difference. Hard
work is to him measure of values that
can never be rubbed out of his mind.
Let him learn by experience that hun
dred dollars represents hundred weary
days labor, and it seems great sum of
money; thousand dollars is fortune,
and ten thousand is almost inconceiva-
BILE, for it is far more than he ever eX-
poets to possess. When he has earned
a dollar, he thinks twice before he
spends it. He wants to invest it so as
to get the full value of days work for
it. 1t is great wrong to society and
to a boy to bring him up to mans es-
tate without this knowledge. A fortune
at 81 without it is almost inevitably
thrown away. With it and a little capt.
tai to start on, he will make his own
fortune better than any one can make ii
for him.-Hunt'S Merchants Magaz inc.

the lives of thousands of brave men, and
whom history will stigmatize as traitors
to their country.
While in Europe events have taken
this unfavorable aspect as regards Tur-
key, they are quite as bad in Asia. Here
Mukhtar Pasha is endeavoring to hold
the heights in front of Erzeroum against
forces numerically far superior to his
own. Ismail Pasha has been fortunate
in escaping the snare set for him by
Gen. Lazaroff, and has effected juno
ton with Mukhtar. 1t is said by British
officers who have examined the positions
held by these Generals, that it is so
strong as to be almost impregnable.
Accounts from Kars are conflicting,
both as to the number of the garrison
and the extent of the supplies; but we
believe all reports of negotiations for its
surrender will be found to be premature.
While in Europe the public sympa-
thies are almost universally in favor of
Turkey and anti-Russian, the belief that
a great Turkish reverse would lead to
negotiations for peace, induces the hope
in many quarters that the operations
against Plevna may be speedily sue
cessful, and that both powers may be-
fore the end of the year find themselves
in position which would enable them
honorably to treat. Russia would eagerly
escape from position which even a
victory will not render pleasant, for a
continuation of hostilities means q Win
ter campaign under almost insurmount-
able difficulties; while Turkey must
see that if the war is reduced to
the question of who can
last the longest in men and money, the
chances must lie with Russia. A speedy
peace, therefore, is desired indeed by ev-
cry body, for so long as the war con-
tinues the other powers are on the edge
of confiagration which may at any
moment extend to them. With dan
gerous crisis pending in France, and
revolutionary, socialistic and religious
forces at work in other European coun-
tries, there is not Government on the
continent which has not got its hands
full, without having the political diff
culties increased by prolongation Of
the present unhappy war.-NeO York

Shutting Out and In.

shut the lovely daylight out,
The dying day, that's growing dim
Two wondrous planets stealing out
Above the roseate evenings rim.
Late darling of the waning year
My garden, daughter of the spring;
Thy roses bear November's tear,
How long and sweet the JOY you bring.
shut your lingering glory out,
Chrysanthemums, so subtly bright;
Ny hearts delight, the cypress vines,
With myriad starlings-red and white.
shut you out, shut you out,
Dear little friends of bud aud flower;
You've had your day so long and bright,
Another's is this brief, best hour.
A little sigh. 1t is so fair,
This world of God, L shut from sight;
Great gift of color, odor, air,
Great gift of life, we prize not quite.
Saturn and Mars consummate stars,
slowly turn my eyes from you,
Ye two who, from the vasts affair,
Come close together in the blue,
In awful tryst, embrace, commune,
Then part without a sigh or sound;
With clinging rings and clustering moons,
Move swiftly down the dim profound.
Beloved, we will meet again,
When we who gaze this eve are dust,
You'll pass upon your heavenly plain,
Caress, embrace, renew your trust.
1 shut you out, shut you ont,
Yet bring your priceless lesson in;
To bear me through Ife's careless rout,
To lift me high DER dearth and din.
1 shut the starry wonder out,
To sit beside the curtained hearth;
o, inner shrine of heart devout,
No happier spot holds all the earth.
Some splendor from that planets day
Some stray beam from that shining plain
Says somewhere our long, long way,
Beloved, we shall meet again.

Health to the GObbIer.

A health! health Thanksgiving day
Lol all shall join the chorus:
On silver throne, in brown array,
Behold! he comes before us.
Fill every beaker up with wine,
And don't forget the cobbler;
Wen drink the first-fruits of the vine
To our own Turkey Gobbler.
Who bore the summers heat and fray
That he might do his duty,
And grew like Jonah's gourd each day?
Our fat old feathered beauty.
Who but the hero of the feast,
Who drank nor wine nor cobbler?
To him wen drain bowl at least,
Our grand old Turkey Gobbler.
Fill up fill up! a fragrance sweet
Is floating DER the table;
He lived and died that we might eat
AS much as we are able.
No selfish clown shall dare to frown;
Lol be we king or cobbler,
Fill up the cup and drink it down
To our own Turkey Gobbler.

MUTTON SoUP.-Take the bone left
from leg of roast mutton; crack it
once or twice; add any bits of meat that
are left, and boil all day, first covering
with hot water. You can have pints
of soup from these bones. At night, or
after it has boiled at least hours, strain
and set it in cool place; the next day
remove the fat and add 1 onion, car
rot, 1 turnip, some parsley, a little celery
or celery-salt, pinch of thyme, salt and
pepper; chop the vegetables very fine,
and let boil an hour by themselves,
then turn into the stock and boil J an
hour longer. A little tomato, or tomato
catsup, is an improvement. If you
choose, thicken with 8 tablespoonfuls of
flour, mixed quite smooth in a little
water.

Travels of a Needle.

The Louisville Nee0s says: This morn
ing a young woman named Melissa
Ship, whose residence is in Martin
County, Indiana, about eight miles
from Shoals, arrived in the city by the
0. and M. Road for the purpose of re-
ceiving medical advice. About three
years ago, while walking across the
carpet of her room at her father's resi-
dence in her bare feet, she stepped upon
piece of broken needle, which pene-
trated the hollow of her left foot, sinking
deeply into the flesh. Herself and
mother made repeated efforts to draw
the fragment from the wound, but with
out success. Finally, piece of bacon
rin3 was bound on the punctured part,
and in a day or two the pain subsidized,
and week later the wound seemed per-
fectly healed. Miss Ship continued to
go about and attend to her domestic du-
ties for several months after the acct
dent, entirely free from pain. Gradu-
ally, however, her ankle began to pain
her, and this continued for two or three
months, she at times suffering intensely.
She supposed, as did her friends, the
pain was caused by acute rheumatism,
or sprain, and bathed the part affected
in tepid water and soothing iniments.
After about three months of suffering
the pain began to subside, and month
later had entirely ceased. She suffered
no more for 10 months, when the acute
pain again set in, this time in the knee.
For two or three months the same treat
ment was followed as when the ankle
was affected, the young lady, and her
parents still supposing the pain was the
result of acute rheumatism. Then the
pain began to subside, and in three
months had entirely disappeared.
For nearly year Miss Shipp's health
was excellent, and she supposed she had
recovered from her singular
But she was mistaken. About
six weeks ago the pain returned with
great acuteness, this time in the hip. Her
at times were intense, and the
remedies formerly used seemed wholly
without efficacy in her emergency. On
last, however, the secret of
all her sufferings was explained. While
a skirt after arising from bed,
she discovered that small spot near the
hip-bone was particularly sensitive, and
her mother, being called to examine it,
felt the sharp point of something in the
flesh and protruding through the in
iamed skin. A pair of tweezers was
obtained, and the obstruction removed. |
when it was found to be about half an
needle, so corroded by
-ust as to be but little thicker than an |
ordinary horsehair. The fragment had
travelled the entire length of the limb,
rom the center of the foot to the hip
bone.
The young lady suffered very greatly
lfter the needle was withdrawn, and is
till sufferer, and comes to the city to
consult a skillful surgeon and seek such
'elief as medical science can afford. The
'ase is certainly very remarkable one.
