Popularity,

The popularity of Messrs. James s. Kirk q
Co.'s soaps, manufactured in Chicago Is
shown by the unprecedented sale which their
goods have reached during the year 1876. This
by far is the largest soap manufacturing con-
Germ in the United States, producing and selling
in all parts of this country, from the Red River
of the North to New Orleans, and from Port
land, Me-, TO San Francisco, 25, 100000 pounds
annually. No so called greases enter into these
soaps Only pure refined tallow and vegetable
oils are used, containingno adulteration. Fair
and square weights always reliable. This Is
why their soaps are so popular with all good
and economical bousekeepers.

What a Gossack Is.

A war correspondent of the London
"News'' describes the Cossack as very
unsavory gentleman. But Galatz is a fine
place, he adds, for taking the edge off ones
sensibilities regarding smells, and one can
get to windward of the Cossack, which IS
more than one can do in regard to the Ga
latz drains. The Cossack is a little chap,
about five feet five, even on his high heels,
but at once sturdy and wiry. His weather
beaten face is shreWd, knowing and merry;
his eyes are small but keen; his mouth
large, and between it and his pug nose
rather redder than the rest of bis facets
a tuft or wisp of straw-colored moustache.
His long, straight thick hair matches his
moustache il color, and is cut sheer round
by the nape of his neck. Below the neck
the Cossack is all boots and great coat. He
is more armed than any man of his inches
in Europe, and could afford to lose a
weapon or two and still be an average dan
gerous customer. Weapon number one is
the long, black, fagless lance, with it's
venomous head that seems itching to make
daylight through somebody. He carries
carbine, slung in an oilcloth, on his back,
stock downward. In his belt is a long and
well-made revolver in leather case. and
from the back han gs a curved sword with
no guard over its hilt. His whip COM
pletes his personal appurtenanc he wears
no spurs. He rides, cooked OH a high
saddle with leathern band strapped over
it, wiry little rat of a pony.

He Game Back.

A story told of Gov. Duval of Florida,
will never wear out. He was the son of a
poor man in Virginia. a stern, strong,
taciturn man, the boy, huge growth of
fifteen. AT the cabin fire, at bed time, &C
cording to the custom of putting on back
log, the old man said, between whiffS of his
sileni pipe-"Teb,' (the boys nickname)
Ego out and bring in that gum backlog
and put it on the fire."
Tab went out and surveyed the log. He
knew it was no use expla lining That it was
too heavy, nor prudent for him to return
without having it on his shoulder. His lit
tie sister passing. was not surprised that
he requested her to bring out the gun and
powder horn, as a possum OF coon might
have passed, OF the brother might have
seen bear signs. She brought the gun, and
Tab started. He found his way through
the woods into Kentucky-thisw was about
1791-whence some years after he was elect
ed for Congress. After an absence of eight
years, now man of immense size and
strength, long given up as slain by a bear,
be started to Washington by way IF his
old home. to see the folks. Entering the
little cabin yard near bed time, he saw the
identical gum log. He shouldered it, pull
ed the latch string, and with his load stood
before the old man, pipe in mouth, and
quiet as usual
"Here IS the gum backlog, father ~
s'Better late than never-put it on the
fire and 60 to bed,' was the reply.

INDIFFEIENCE AT HoME.-Ingratitud
and indifference sometimes mar the char
acter of mew a husband returns from his
business at evening. During his absence
and throughout the livelong day., the wife
has been busy with n,ind and hands pre-
pairing some little surprise, some unexpec-
ted pleasure, to make his home more at
tractive than ever. He. enters, seemingly
sees no more Of what has been done to
please him thansif he were a blind man,
and has nothing more to say about it than
if he were dumb. Many a loving wife has
borne in her heart an abiding sorrow, day
after day, from causes like this, until, in
process of time, the fire and enthusiasm of
her original nature has burnt out, and mu-
tual indifference spreads it's pail oyer the
household.

THE s1pEAD OF A RAILWAY TRAIN
In recent lectq<e in Edinburgh on 1.-The

train, travelling day and night fifty miles
an hour would reach the moon in six
months, the sun in two hq inbred years, and
Alpha Uentauris, the nearest of the fixed
stars, in forty-two millions ofyears "a can

AN EDITOR WHO LIKES BABIEs.-We
love babies, and also anybody else who
loves babies. No man has music in his
soul who doesn't love babies. Babies were
made to be loved, especially girl babies
when they grow up. A man isn't worth a
''shuck" who does mt love baby, and the
same rule applies to woman. A baby is
spring-day in winter, a dollhouse in sum-
mer, a ray of sunshine in frigid winter,
and if it's a healthy, good-natured baby,
and it's yours, it's bushel of sunshine, no
matter how cold the weather. A man can
not be a hopeless case 50 long as he loves
babies-one at time. We love babies all
over, no matter how dirty they are. Ra-
bies were born to be dirty. Our love for
babies is only bounded by the number of
babies in the world. We also have sor-
rowful feelings for mothers who have no
babies. Women always look down-hear-
ted who have no babies; and men who have
none always grumble and drink and stay
out at nights, trying to get music in their
souls; but they can't come it. Babies are
babies, and nothing can take their place.

LONGINGs.

Two children sat by the summer sea,
Playing with pebble, shell and sand;
Loudly they laughed in childish glee,
AS the waves ran up the land.
And "Oh, for ship, ship" they cried.
ITO carry US far away,
So that we may sail on side by side,
Through an everlasting day!'
7 wo lovers fingered beside the sea.
When. the Summer moonlight shone,
And their love could speak all sweet and free,
For they stood there all alone.
And "Oh, for ship, a Ship" they cry,
ITO carry us far away,
Where no tears will come to dim the eve,
And no pain of sorrow stay!''
There stood two forms by the sunlit sea,
When the breeze sang soft and low:
All dim with tears their old eyes be,
And all white their hair doth show.
And ''Oh, for ship, a ship" they call,
"That will carry US far away.
To the land where our Father gathereth all
That love Him while herethey stay'

Pigs VS.. Snakes.

A farmer living on the West side of the
Ohio river. in walking about his farm, dis
covered nest of rattle snakes in the hol-
lew bark of an old tree, about which sew
eral pieces Of rock lay scattered. Having
heard that pigs were hostile to snakes of
all kinds, and not caring to attack the
nest himself, he thought he would try the
experiment and see fight. He drove sew
erl pigs in the vicinity and watched the
result. The pigs soon seemed to scent the
reptiles, and commenced roofing eagerly
about the spot. In an instant half a dog.
en- vicious serpents emerged from their
hiding places to attack the intruders, who
manifested Jealous disposition to give
battle. A snake would rear himself to the
height Of the back of the pig, shake his rat
ties, and plunge his fangs into the animal
with lightning-like celebrity, and then dart
away pursued by the pig, who had dexter
ously received the sting upon the feshy
part of the jaw
Over and over again this would be re-
peated, until the pig got his fore foot up
on the snake, when he would deliberately
rip the reptile in twain, and devour him,
This slaughter continued until all the
sakes were disposed of, when the pigs
,gruIsed contentedly, and without any
signs Of being disturbed, waddled off in
search of other provender. The eye-wit-
ness TO this singular contest. which was
not without it's exciting features, declares
himself convinced that pig is impervious
in the poisonous bite of any kind of SER
pent. -A'-

Keen Your Promise.

A boy borrowed a tool from a carpen-
ter, promising to return it at night. Be-
fore evening he was sent away on an er-
rand, and did not return until late. Be-
fore going he was told that his brother
should see that the article was returned.
After he had come home he inquired and
found that the tool had not been sent to
it's owner. He was much distressed to
think his pro mise had not been kept, but
was persuaded to 60 to sleep and rise early
and carry it home the next morning. By
daylight he was up, and nowhere was the
tool to be found. After long, fruitless
search he set off for his neighbours in great
distress to acknowledge his fault. But how
great was his surprise to find the tool on
his neighbours doorstone. And then it ap-
peared, from the prints Of his bare feet in
the mud, that the lad had got up in his
sleep and carried the tool home, and gone
to bed again without knowing it. OF
course boy who was prompt in his sleep
was prompt when awake. Respected while
he lived, he had the confidence of his
neighbors, and was placed in many offices
of trust and profit. If all grown persons
felt us this boy did there would be a great
