SOUR TOM.

People talk a great deal about the
sfavorable criticism Of friends - But
actually, save in rare cases, rising geniu-
ses are more apt to be blighted than en-
couraged at home. It is qaite possible,
perhaps; for some one who is really no
genius at all to be thought more of than
he deserves by doting mother; but, al
the same time, one who actually does
something more than usually well, who
is really to be shining light in the world
some day, is often quite looked dowr
upon by those who know him best. 1t
is taken for granted that "Our Tom" can
never do anything great. Why, we have
known him all his life. He used to be a
little boy. He liked ginger bread, and
has been corrected within our own know
ledge of him wiah his grandfather's cane
or his grandmother's slipper. We take
up book that he has written with no
hope that it will be great one; and we
are doubtful of 1t as we read it. We
wonder that they hung his picture at the
academy; though we are glad. And we
fell afraid to hear him make speech on
a public platform.
An audience composed of people to all
of whom an orator was only "Our Tom,"
would be the most frightful ON earth for
any man to face. ALI the love in the
world, all the kindness may be there, but
the verdict would be only every we'll
for our Tom."> '.'=5...-
When "Our Tom" begings to do any
thinGhe had better do 1t quite outof sight
and hearing of those who think of him
in the ycssessive case, for they unwit-
tingly damp bis efforts in the most dread
ful way.
Friends, with their doubts and plying
patronage, are the worst people sour
Tom" can have about him. When he
shakes them off, and goes out into the
world and takes its snabs and bullets
and want of appreciation like man.-if
he really be genius, or able to make his
mark in any way, the news comes back
at last to his friends. "Oun1om" geat
man! "Our Toni" They are delighted
and they marvel, and they cannot helD
thinking people must have made mis-
take; and to them, after all, it is only
sour Tom' who is very lucky-not the
wonderful man he is to others.
One can very well understand how Mrs.
Burns did not know that her husband
was great poet, and how the mother of
the gallant hero of many battle, shook
her head, when his fame reached her, and
said: "Ah! never could keep him from
fighting"
M"Our Tom" may be loved and petted
and tenderly thought of, he may even be
foolishly tlattered, but he is very seldom
honestly appreciated at home.

WHERE THE LABOR VOTE CAME

Among the many excuses for their
great defeat offered by the Republicans,
is the one that the labor party drew its
material strength from their organiza-
appears in the face of the fact that Lu-
zerne county. which gave Tilden D1a-
jority of 3475, has given, according to a
special dispatch, FROM 5000 to 1000 major
fly for the Labor candidate, while Judge
Starrett has a majority Of 1000 over
Judge Turnkey. Will some OF the or
gans that have been bewailing the de-
fectien of Republicans in the direction
of the Labor party. please make note
of this Had there been no Labor tick

ocratic State ticket would have been full.

A FULL TIN MINITS.

J An Irish lady called on photographer
TO have a cabinet portrait taken. When
the artist removed the plate he told her
she need not sit any longer. On coming
our of::the dark room he found her still
bolt upright in the chair, with that look
of petrifed despair on her face peculiar
to the Photographic pose. "You needn't
sit there any longer" SAID the frightened
artist. "What's that" she hoarsely
whispered, without changing muscle.
"I say you needn't sit there now-l have
finished" ;" he exclaimed. "Ain't TO pay
ye dSliar?' she interrogated in the same
gurgling tone, with eyes strained on the
mark. FYes." "Well, thin do ye name
to say Pm to give We dollar for only
five Ininits in the cheer? Begorra, I'd
have a full tin minits fur the money, an
that's little enough in all conscience !"

CORN.

The proposition to establish a corn
kitchen at the Paris Exposition, where
Indian corn cooked In all it's tempting
forms shall be offered to the European
palate, seems to us an eminently practi-
cal matter. We have super-abundance
of corn, and Europe has q super-abund-
ance of hungry mouths. 1t is sound COM
mercIal policy to establish between these
two elements the closest relations. But
while we might rejoice to have the
darkened European mind illuminated
by the glories of corn, we must confess
that many in this favored land are still
wandering In the twilight of uncertainty
The invention of finely -bolted cornmeal
has rendered the corn cakes of our fathers
no longer possible. The dear old pones
and corn-dodgers OF boyhood's breezy
hour are no longer to be found except in
rem ote rural districts where corn is still
ground in the primitive mills. That corn
IL not wheat may seem a mere empty
truism; ard yet half of the wretched fail
ures in the cooking of corn bread are
caused by the effort to make wheat bread
out OF indian meal. The attempt to
beautify and refine corn bread, instead
of accepting it in its hearty, homely sim
cerity, is the fallacy that lies at the
of much of the Voc of the city
We do not deny that there
are forms of corn starch, farina &C.,
which are capable of refined and elegant
treatment, but all the glory of corn bread
consists in its sweet and sustaining
power. 1t may, perhaps, be the pre-
judice of early training, but we are firm
in the faith of unbolted cornmeal as a
bread producer; and nothing that we
have ever seen in the products of finely
bolted meal has ever weakened the pure
faith of our childhood, There has been
of late years n rAaction AGAINST finely-
bolted wheat flour; and epicures and
are now demanding Gra-
ham bread, which contains all the ele-
ments of the grain. But the tyranny of
meal is still unbroken.-
