TRANSIENT TROUBLES. ES.-Most of us have
had troubles all our lives, and each day
has brought all the evil that we wished TO
endure. But if We were asked to recount
the SORROWS of our lives, how many could
we remember9 How many that are six
months old should we think worthy to he
remembered or mentioned? To-days trou-
bles look large, but q week hence they
will be forgotten and buried out of sight
says one writer
"lf you would keep q book, and every
day put down the things that worry you
and see what becomes of them, it would
be y benefit TO you. You allow thing
to annoy you, just as you allow fly to
settle on you and plague you and you lose
your temper (or rather get it; for when
men are sur-charged with temper they are
said to have lost IT'D and you Justify your
self for being thrown off your balance by
causes which you do not trace ont. But if
you would see what it was that threw you
off your balance before breakfast, and put
it down in little book, and follow it out,
and ascertain what becomes of it, YOU
would sec what y fool you were in the
matter"
The art of forgetting is Il blessed art,
but the art of overlooking is quite as I'M
portant. And if we should take time to
write down the origin, progress, and out,
come of few of our troubles, it would
make us so ashamed of the fuss we make
over them, that we should be glad to drop
such things and bury them at once in eter-
nal forgetfulness.
Life is too short to be worn out in petty
worries, frettings, hatreds, and vexations
Let us Danish all these, and think on what
soever things are pure, and lovely, and
gentle, and Of good respect. Selected.

saving and careful, and soon had little
money in the bank. Finally we were mar
ried, and after furnishing two rooms, had
Just 500 left. 1t was not much, but ii
was our own. This was fourteen months
back. Now we have this little house. We
have carpets on the floors of two rooms
nine pictures on the walls, and nearly fifty
books in that case of shelves up there
which l made. Our house is small, but
there is no envy, no fear of the future,
fmlt-tinding, or seltishness in it. We have
nearly 800 saved besides these things in
the house. Oar rent is paid for the entire
year, till next spring. We 60 to church
regularly, attend concerts and lectures and
amusemenls when the price is not too high
Sometimes the prices are so high that we
cannot afford to 90. Then we stay al
home. read to each other, have visitors
from the neighborhood, or 90 out II little
to visit few friends close by. | have
not been in saloon since was married
and shall never enter one again. | had
rather these books, pictures, carpets, anc
that organ should be in our house than in
the house of the man who makes his saloon
attractive so as to entice men there tc
spend their earnings. We find this life as
we make it. We are helping each other
and thus my wife is leading me to heaven
And from the bottom of my heart l wish
that all young men who are now travelling
the road travelled two years ago would
follow my example, for, sir, they'd never
regret it."

Mrs. Briggs Clerk.
ny MARY KYLE DALLAS.

He was a tall, thin, starved looking boy,
with IL little jacket, the sleeves of which
crept halfway up his arms, and II hat that
was nothing but brim, and when she
first saw him he was eating II crust ont of
gutter. She was only poor old woman
who kept little shop for candy and trim
mings, and poor enough herself, heaven
knew; but, as she said, he looked little
like what her Tom might if he had grown
up and been neglected. and she couldn't
stand it. She called to him:
"Come here, sonny" said she, and the
boy came. Before she could speak again
he said:
u eidn't do it. I'll take my oath on
anything didn do it, amt so mean "
Didn't do what?n said the old woman,
Break your winder," said the boy,
nodding his head towards IL shattered
pane.
"Why, | broke that myself with my
shutter last night" said the old woman.
Tm not strong enough TO lift 'cm, that's
the fact. I'm getting old"
"If Pm round here when you shut up,
I'll come and do it for YOU" said the boy;
I'D just us soon. What was that you
wanted me for?'
u wanted to know what you cat that
dry crust out of the gutter for" said she.
!" Hungry" said he; Il have tried to
get Job all day. I'm going TO sleep in an
area over there after it gets too dark for
the policeman to see, and you can't have
n good nights sleep without some supper,
if it is dirty
"Ill give you some that's cleaner" said
the old woman.
That will be begging said he.
No." said she, you can sweep the
shop and the pavement and put up the
shutters for it,"
Very WELL" said he. Thankee, then.
If l sweep up first I'll feel belter.'
Accordingly she brought him broom
and he did his work we'll Afterward he
ate his supper with relish. That night
he slept, not in the area, but under the old
woman's counter.
He had told her his story. His name
was Dick; he was twelve years old, and
his father, whom he had never seen sober
was in prison for life
The antecedents were not elevating, but
the boy seemed good. The next morning
the old woman engaged clerk for her
small establishment. The terms were sim
ple-his " living and u bed under the coun.
ter" When the neighbors heard of it they
were shocked. A street boy-a boy whom
no one knew! Did Mrs. Briggs really
wish to be murdered in her bedP But Mrs
Briggs felt quite safe. She had so much
time now that she was going to take in
sewing. Dick attended to the shop alto
gether. He kept it in fine order, and in.
creased the business by introducing can
dies, dates on sticks, and chewing gum
Pennies came in as they never came in
before since he had painted signs in rec
and blue ink to the effect that the real ole
molasses candy was to be got there, and
that this wus the place for peanuts.
And in the evening, after the shop wa'
shut up, she began to take him into hel
confidence. Her great dream was TO buy
herself into certain Home for the Aged
1t would cost her hundred dollars. She
was saving for it. She had saved three
years, and had fifteen of it. But it cost s.
much to live, with tea twenty-five cents

HINTS ON THE CARE OF THE EYES,
There are, perhaps, more individuals who
ascribe their weakness Of sight to use of
their eyes under an insufficient artificial
illumination than to any other one cause.
In u great many instances this may not be
strictly true. but there can be no doubt
that faulty artificial light is one of the most
productive causes of II certain class of in
iuries, to which the eye can be exposed.
lhe two sources of tlouble with the ord-
nary artificial lights are--irst, that they
are not pure white, and secondly, that
they are unsteady. The first defect is
found in all artificial lights except the
lime, electric and magnesium lights; the
second especially in candles and gas. The
yellowness is, in measure, counteracted
by using, in the case of lamps and gas,
chimneys Of n violet OF blue tint, and the
1ickering of the gas may be obviated
largely by employing an Argand burner.
All things considered, German student
lamp furnishes the most satisfactory LIGHT.
The next best is gas with an Argand burn.

the abrupt question: "Where is your

recently separated from the partner of his
life, was taken so completely by surprise
that he stammered forth the truth: Il

infant terrible. "Why don't you know?n
Finding that the child persisted in her in

her parents, he concluded to make II clean

once. So be said with calmness which
was the result of inward expletives:
well we don't live together; we think,
as we can't agree, we'd better not" He

BUYING A PARDON.-EX-Gov. Sey-
mours nephew, Mr.. II. B. Miller, has just
died in Utica. While Seymour was Gov
ernor in 1868 he gave Mr.. Miller the office
of pardon clerk-an office which he filled
with efficiency and integrity. A member
of the legislature once applied for par
don for one of his constituents, and sought
to secure favorable report from Miller.
"Tll tell you what I'll do" he said, with
the rascally blununess of one who believes
that every man has his price; I'm give
you $10Oif you'll get the governor to sign
that pardon" Mr., Miller stifed his indig-
nation, and with quizzical smile on his
face, offered to attend to the business i'm
mediatelv. "We'll go right in and see
the governor he said. Reaching the ex-
ecutive presence, Mr.. Miller remarked,
with great show of interest, "Gov. Sey-
mour, this is the Hon. Mr.. II. He is
n member of the Legislature, and he wants
a pardon for one of his constituents. He
offers me $l00 if I'll get it for him. I'll
go you halves on the money if you will
sign it" The astonished member, taking

CAN A TOAD HEAR?-The Bridgeport
(Ct.) Standard says " One of our citizens
of an observing and experimental turn Of
mind found toad on his doorstep recently,
and in order to discover whether it could
hear well, got down on his knees and
made different noises TO test the question
The toad bore the noise and took part in
the experiments with such unhagging good
nature that the inquirer was working up
considerable interest in lhe matter, when
he happened to look up and found himself
surrounded by Il crowd ofpeople who were
speculating among themselves as to wheth-

Benjamin franklin has the credit of
being the first person in this country who
made use of gypsum as fertilizer. The
manner in which he he used it may seem
somewhat egotistical. He sowed in tine

side, in the form Of large letters, spelling
his name. After few weeks the grass
upon which plaster was sown so far out

SUCCESSFUL MEN.-Who are they? They
are those men who when boys, were COM
PEELED to work. either to help themselves
or their parents, and who. when little
older, were under the stern necessity of
doing more than their Legitimate share Of
labor; who, as young men, had their wits
sharpened by having to devise ways and
means of making their time worth more
than it would be under ordinary circumStan-
ces. Hence ir reading the lives of eminent
men who have greatly distinguished them
selves, we find their youth passed in self
denals of food, sleep, rest and recreation.
they sat up late, rose early to the per
formance of imperative duty, doing by
daylight the work of one man, and by
night the work of another. A banker of
high integrity, and who starred in life
without shilling, said, the other day;
For years was in my place of busi-
ness at sunrise, and did not leave it for iif-
teen or eighteen hours"
Let not then any youth be discouraged,
if he has to make his own living or even
to support widowed mother or sick sis
ter, or unfortunate relative; for this has
been the road to the eminence of many Il
proud name This is the path which men
have often trod-thorny enough at times,
ut others so beset with obstacles as to be
almost impossible; but the way was
cleared, sunshine came, success followed,
then the glory and renown.
