The other day an aged couple drove into
Indiana City, Ind, just as an undertaking
firm was moving into an old church, which
had been purchased for shop. The old
gentleman stood up in his wagon, his mouth
and eyes distended as the men silently car
red coffin after coffin into the church, At
last he turned to his awe-stricken half and
gasped "sally, by golly, it's cholera Let's

The Acorn and the Oak.

My little daughter sat silent while busy
at her play. Finally she said, with sober
face " Mamma, this morning, when | was at
Miss W's, she offered me an acorn. Now if
! had taken it and planted it, should have
had an oak tree some day, shouldn'tI2" And
after moments further reflection she said,
with a sigh, " But didn't take the acorn"
"Ah, my darling, you are not the only
one who has failed to have an oak for want
of taking an acorn" See, though it be an
oft-told tale, how tiny circumstances affect
great events; see the shadows of the mag
nificent forest-king, how delightful, how Sc
cure from the summer heat-not for dav,
nor year merely, but for ages. Some hand
planted that tree-one, perhaps a baby
took the acorn. The things of beauty and
strength which are or may be composed of
its noble timber-the sturdy ship which de-
iies the waves is, through this great gift of
God, made the thing she is; and even the
cheerful firesides round which we so love to
linger, are all proofs, each in their way
that somebody took the acorn. This little
lesson is in its application, so wide, so vari
Gus, that hardly know where it begins or
ends. Every good impulse each word of
kindly counsel, even our failures and mis-
takes, may be to us the acorn which taken
planted, and cultivated, may make us, like
the oak, in spiritual sense-trees for the
garden of God. There are, in every human
life, times when little turning points occur.
Acorns are offered refuse them, pass them
by, and in after years memory looks back
and says, in bitterness of soul al did not
take the acorn"

Freedom Oh the Table.

Mr.. Clarence Cook in Scribner for Janu-
AIRY, after giving his reasons for not liking
white china, says: :" don't know why we
should insist on having all the pieces of por-
celain or earthenware on our table-at break
fast, dinner, or supper--alike. Why have
everything in sets ? We already allow our
selves some feedom at dessert and at tea /;
why not, ladies, make heroic strike for
freedom the table round There never
We're sets known till modern manufacturers
began to take a trade view of life in all its
phases. OF course there must be harmony,
but harmony does not mean uniformity,
And if the general color of our service is
blue, or red, or yellow IA bit of either of the
other colors may come in with the one, and
no harm done. Now and then at sales, on
the breaking up of old households, pieces of
old Worcester, or Wedgwood, or Spode OF
Devonshire, may be met WITH aud if they
are in good condtion--neither nicked, noi
chipped, nor cracked-they should be
bought always provided they are pretty, and
they will make good foundation to work
upon. 1t does not do, however, in china
any more than in pictures, to go by names
Go by what is pretty, or rich, or effective
and if ON turning up your tea-cup or its sau
Ger you should find q famous potter's namt
written on it, thank the gods that they mad,
you poetical, and gave you pair of eyes o
your own for what is pretty"
