A School Bows COrHS.

Corns are of two kinds, vegetable
and animal. Vegetable corn grows IN
rows; animal corn grows on toes. There
are several kinds of corn; there is the
unicorn, capricorn, corn dodgers, field
corn, and the corn which is the
corn you feel the most. It
is said, I believe, that the gophers
like corn; but persons having corns do
not like to so " fur" if they can help it.
Corns have kernels, and some colonies
have corns. Vegetable corn grows on
ears, but animal corn grows on the feet
at the other end of the body. Another
kind of corn is the acorn; these kind
grow on oaks, but there is no hoax
about the corn. The corn is corn
with an indefinite article indeed. Try
it and see. Many a man when he has
corn wishes it was an acorn. Folks
that have corns sometimes send for
doctor, and If the doctor himself is
corned, he probably won't do so we'll as
if he isn't. The doctors say corns are
produced by tight boots and shoes,
which is probably the reason why,
when a man is tight, they say he is
corned. If farmer manages well he
can get good deal of corn on an acre,
but know Of a farmer that has one
corn that makes the biggest aeher On
his farm. The bigger crop of v-ge-
table corn q man raises the better he
likes it; but the bigger crop of animal
corn he raises the better he does not
like it. Another kind of corn is the
corn dodger. The way it is made is
very simple, and is as follow-that is
if you want to know: You go along
the street and meet man you know
has corn and rough character; then
you step on the toe that has corn on
it, and see if you don't have occasion
to dodge. In that way you will find
out what a corn dodger is.-Hortford
Post.

The PrOdigaI.

Inheritors of vast wealth are proverbially
spendthrifts. The golden ore is dug from
the mine, re fined aud coined, by the lanor
of other hands and the sweat Of otaer
brows. Like cnildren playing with an ex-
pensive toy, they can form no 1st estimate
of it's value. When the donor weighed it,
he cast into the balance 30 many days Of
unre hitting and fatiguing toll, SO many
anxious and sleeplees nights; so much self
denial, and SO much care. But the lnherltor
into his balance throws only-pleasure. The
one values it for what it cost him; the other
for what it will purchase. Like the prodi-
gal in the Scripture parable, he thought,
1essly expends it to crafty the caprice and
cravings of his nature. Then comes the
last scene-the misery, the remorse, and the
long and wearisome journey back to the
home of frugal industry. But there are
other prodigals. On her favorites, our
bounteOus parent, Nature, has lavished her
richest treasure-health. But the prodigal
values it lightly, for it costs him naught,
and recklessly squanders it in riOtous living.
Present pleasure obscures future want.
Soon the curtain rises on the last scene.
We see him helpless, impoverished-the
rich treasures of body and mind all lost
in misery and despair. RemorsefuI Con-
science holds up to him the mirror of men,
DRY. In his own reckless folly he perceives
the cause of his present pain. He resolves
to return. The journey is long and tedious,
but if he perseveringly follows the right
road, he will at length see the haven Of
his hopes in the distance, and Nature. Sec
ing her invalid child afar off, win come out
to meet him, and receive him with love and
blessing. TO find the right road homeward,
the suffering prodigal should read 1.-The

A Night Voyage on the Suez Canal.

Correspondence of the San Francisco Chronicle.
We boarded steam launch, by no
means large enough to accommodate
us, and then, packed in a close stuff
cabin, or sitting together on the windy
deck, we rushed through the canal at q
headlong pace from sunset till o'clock
in the morning, the most miserable
community imaginable. The lake,
through which we entered the canal,
was soon crossed, and when we found
ourselves SWIMMING over the deep blue
waters, with high sand banks on each
side us we looked about us with intense
curiosity, for it was our first sight of
one of the wonders of the modern
world. AS far as we could see the
canal was as straight as an arrow. The
high banks, sloping to the water, along
the edge of which grew q few hardy
shrubs, seemed to draw together at the
farther end. The width at the water
line in the deep cuts is 100 feet, the
depth 26 feet; the total length 100 miles.
1t grew monotonous in the course of
half an hour-the interminable banks
like gray walls away above our
heads The moon rose over the top
of the embankment and amused
us for q little time with q new effect.
But the canal is horribly gloomy at
night. 1t is like sailing through a gap
between the two hemispheres. By and
by we raised a ship, q monster, that
lowered above our toy steamer and
seemed to touch the stars with its Ia
pering masts. The ship appeared to
fill the canal, for the long high banks
closed in beyond her. We saw the
black hull and the cleaning lights; we
heard the clustering orders that were
bawled out on board, resounding above
the roar Of the wind in the rigging. I
wondered how we were to pass her, and
why she did not caution us to keep out
Of the way We did slacken our pace
somewhat, and then stole under her
huge shadow unnoticed. She thought
no more of us than if we had been a
water bug. She was very busy trying
to keep herself in the middle of the
canal IS she slowly drifted toward
Suez. Seven ships lay in our track
that highland all seven of them ut
terly ignored us, though we were the
regular express boat from Ismailia to
Port Said.
We came to a house presently, a
long, low, wooden house, painted white,
and not halfway up the bank wooden
steps led up the slope to the veranda.
There were vines creeping over the
roof, and flowers growing in the garden
and pertaining the night; but beyond
it and above it rose the everlasting
bank, and we could see nothing to the
right or the left but the dark, marrow,
straight gap, with its deep waters ebb-
ing noiselessly from sea to sea. At
midnightTe entered the harbor of Port
Said. The moon was brilliant, and the
white sandy streets of the little city
looked as if they were covered with a
light fall of snow. Port Said lies just
above the high tide, and is as handsome
as dockyard. 1t blisters in the sun
and withers In the sea winds, and all its
drinking water is pumped over from
Ismailia, fifty miles away; yet it Is
withal healthy place and capital re-
sort for sportsmen, who find pelicans,
| halningoes, herons, and all kinds Of
wild fowl in the neighborirg lake.

CAWs AND EFFECT.

BY WARRINGTON GLADDEN..
Nine metaphysicians perched aloft
On the top of dry pine tree,
Have talked all day in a marvellous way
Of divine philosophy.
No wild Celeridgean ramblers they
ALI over the realm of laws
They stick to their text, however perplexed,
The doctrine tand practice) of caws
The biggest crow, on the nearest limb,
Gave first, with never pause,
clear, profound, deliberate sound
Discourse of proximate caws.
A theologue IN a cassock clad,
With q choker under his jaws
And cold in his head, either sung or said
A treatise of second caws.
A fish hawk lit on the top most limb
With picksrel i'll his claws,
When small and great began to debate
Concerning efficient caws.
And when, at the close, the congress rose,
saw two old crows pause,
And what they said, as they few o'erhead,
Had the SQUAD of final caws.
No longer in me, 0 Philosophy,
Thy devotee expect;
In spite of thy laws, here's a chain of caws,
And rot one single effect.
--Hdrper's Magazine
